Facebook … the New “BarnYard”, But Not One For Billionaires!
Ever had a job in the BARN YARD … trying to catch sheep, herd cattle or god forbid try catching pigs or chickens?
There is so much going on and only the experienced farm hand actually gets anything done that’s worthwhile while everyone else runs around expending lots and lots of energy getting sweaty and looking forward to a long cool drink.
Almost two decades ago I participated in a course called Money & You and we played lots of games, including one called the “Barn Yard Game”. It was noisy … there were people yelling, music playing and it was hard to think.
I mean it’s not easy to think at the best of times is it? One of Henry Ford’s famous sayings is “Thinking is one of the most difficult tasks there is, that’s why so few people participate in it.”
Well when people are telling at you this, and telling you that … suggesting we do this, inviting me to do that, it’s even harder to think.
So my strategy with Facebook and I do enjoy the part of catching up with family goings on, is that I now logon, have a look round and then log off.
I am staggered how much time some people spend on Facebook … it’s now the Web’s Ultimate TIME SINK … and it’s growing by the month.
Evidently there is some growing disquiet around Facebook and like others I am seriously considering erasing (if that’s possible) my account … and simply staying with the healthy, green networks I belong to including Your Healthy Planet.com of course.
I honestly doubt that the future billionaires, the people who are leading the conversations towards growing a healthy, green and sustainable future spend too much time on Facebook … chances are they have leveraged that out as well.

Evidently Tiger Woods “Networks”, and Is A Billionaire; But Are They Linked?
Networking is EXPLODING all over the world, and for good reason. In a nutshell, it’s time has come.
Ordinary people are succeeding BIG, and while they may not become billionaires they are certainly reaching the multi-millionaire stakes in a matter of years.
“LEVERAGE” - is something you definitely need if you want to become wealthy, and networking or more accurately network marketing can provide enormous leverage. But it is not the only way to leverage.
What does the word “LEVERAGE” actually mean?
It isn’t the type of word used in everyday conversations is it … but if you don’t understand it then you definitely can’t benefit from it.

So Tiger Woods has earned a billion dollars hitting a little white ball across the grass.
Now that’s not bad!
Woods, Billionaire.

According to CNBC’s Darren Rovell, today’s $10 million purse for winning the Fed Ex Cup has brought Tiger Woods closer to crossing over the billion dollar threshold for career earnings. He’s still a ways off from the $6 billion that ESPN Magazine once predicted he’d net for his career, but still, not a bad haul, all things considered.
The best part, though? According to Rovell, “agent Mark Steinberg told me they don’t keep track.” And that my friends, is proof that he’s truly rolling in money. Even wealthy people have to keep track of their earnings, but the among the truly, outrageously rich billionaires?
They just know, ya know?
Wow … That’s LEVERAGE! You see the reason Tiger Woods doesn’t have to keep track is two fold. First he evidently has a very good agent and good financial managers looking after him; and secondly and equally important is that the majority of Tiger’s income comes in the form of ROYALTY INCOME and endorsements.
But let’s focus on the royalty income for a minute.
Who, other that top golfing stars earn royalty income? Well there are singers and musicians, and authors all get royalties on CD’s, DVD’s and books. Actors and actresses often get royalties on movies as do directors and producers.
My mentor in the company I am in also receives royalties, not as much as Tiger but it’s still a handsome amount and a little over one million dollars a year. He also says that he doesn’t keep track of his income … it goes into his bank account like clockwork, same day every month, rain hail or sunshine and all he has to do is focus on “his game”.
Every time Tiger helps another sporting brand increase their sales he is rewarded with an increase in royalties … and every time my mentor or I help another person increase their income we are similarly rewarded with higher royalties. You could say “It’s the name of the game.”
The word “royalties” isn’t used that often among people earning a living through their JOB. They can of course start to develop a part-time royalty income while they have the security of their job; and that is the exact recommendation given by author and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki.
