Who Killed The Paper Boy?

As a young boy, I knew very quickly that if I wanted to have something,

I needed to work for it. My parents didn’t buy me anything over $20
as a child, but you know what it was the greatest lesson learned. You see
somehow, I’ve been money motivated and programmed at an early age.

Not sure exactly when and where, but I remember fixing my own Atari at the age of 5. I picked it up at the local swap meet for like 3 bucks. I turned around and played with it for awhile and sold it for $30. I was labeled as the “Wheeler and Dealer” in my circle of influence.

At the age of 11, I remember I really wanted a TV and Stereo system for my room. I remember a neighbor of mine having a paper route in my area. He got tired of his paper route and had given it up to me. I had to convince my mom and dad, but as it turns out for those next 4 years, I was known as “The Paperboy”.

Now, I don’t know what part of town you live in, but I do not see a Paperboy anymore. In 1989-1994, I was rocking the BMX (GT) to be exact and delivering paper. My sweet mom and dad would get up and drive me the days it would rain. I would even get tired some days and my mom would help me fold up paper. She was the best!

I had to go collect money from some customers who didn’t mail their money in and pay “The Times Advocate” their portion and I kept mine. This was truly the beginning of a true business. What kind of company trusted a kid with their money? Well they did and I was as loyal as can be. I had to put up with some interesting characters. Getting the door slammed on my face and mini dogs biting on my ankles. To skinny newspaper flying and catching air to just skim the house and land on the roof who was prepared for this by roofing experts from sites online as the http://www.palmbeachroofingexpert.com/south-palm-beach-roofing/. Oh let me tell ya, I had a blast as a child. Probably one of my fondest memories.

I was able to buy trinkets and toys that parents wouldn’t have bought their child otherwise. As a matter of fact, 22 years later and I still have the 13” Sony TV that now my kids use as their game TV in their room. Good ol’ Sony eh?

My concern is, there are no jobs/businesses for kids in the newspaper industry. It was actually taken away by the recovering adults from drugs/alcohol. At least it was in my area. This actually is a big mistake to the newspaper industry because now kids aren’t exposed to newspaper and they will NEVER appreciate it. As you can see now the internet has taken over and very few people will actually read the newspaper as time goes on.

Why would anyone ever kill the Paperboy? If you ever want to feel what it’s like to b ea paperboy/papergirl, you deserve to play the arcade game. It is probably the most memorable game of my childhood carrier because it reminded me of what it was like to generate cash as a child.

If you have memories of a paper route or you were a paperboy or girl, please share below.

Courage and Why It’s Important

Courage is something that should not be ignored. Entrepreneurs are couragous for stepping out of their comfort zone. It takes a lot out of someone to go against all odds to be the best they can be and do what they love to do. Sometimes those in your own circle of influence will tell you it’s not possible. Believe me when I say this because I had to put up with such struggles. This video shares some insight in what I believe is Courage and why it should not be ignored.

Numis Network 1st National Convention

Logging in today as the first trip to Florida. I’ve never been in the Orange state in my life and I made a promise to a 5 years old he will be there for his birthday on October 19th, 2010 for Hollywood Studios. My son Cesar Antonio.  

As most of you know, I’ve been an entrepreneur since I was breathing. Something inside me has always told me I was going to be a leader and coach others in personal development and business development.

You know that by surrounding yourself with 6 and 7 figure earners you will achieve and be more then you were told you’d be growing up.

We grew up with a lot of dream stealers didn’t we? A lot of negative people telling us that we have to stop chasing after getting rich because they want to keep you were they are. Some of those people live with you right now. That person is or may have been you 😉

The interesting concept though is that my 6 and 7 figure earners don’t have that mentality. They encourage me to be more. Strive more. I’ve had 5 figure months and they tell me you better do better than that. It blows my mind away because I keep reaching for the top and I love the empowerment that I get from others in my circle of influence.

So what brings me out on a Wednesday you may ask? I’m flying in with some folks on my team in my primary business for a new company just launched on August 15th, 2010 in the home business arena. Most companies you may have seen before are involved in either a service industry or a product health and wellness industry.

Name me one company out there with a very little investment under $500 that their product is an asset. Don’t worry… I’ll wait. There isn’t one ladies and gentleman. Until now. Http://www.GoldNSilver.biz.

You see, this is the first national convention. I would not miss it for the world. It’s like not showing up for your job. Being at all events is gold for your business and mindset. You always pickup a nugget for you to apply to your business. Understand because I do have the strongest team in Numis, you want to get in early. Most people in thi…[read more]
