Why Boeing Cheats and Why You Should Model Their Business

Successful companies use leverage as a chief driver to grow their business. This is why Boeing cheats and why you should too…

“You realize we’re sitting on 45,000 pounds of fuel, one nuclear warhead and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder? Makes you feel good doesn’t it?” – Quote from ‘Armageddon’

Did you know that airplane maker Boeing outsources over 67% of the actual construction of their aircraft?

Here’s a little tidbit that may be eye-opening for you (and it should):

Spirit AeroSystems Inc. this week delivered the 10,000th Wichita-built 737 aircraft fuselage to the Boeing Co.

The milestone number, which was confirmed by the company, stretches back decades to when the Spirit (NYSE: SPR) facility was still part of Boeing Commercial Airplanes and where production on the 737 dates back to the mid-1960s.

A company spokesperson says Spirit will hold an event to celebrate the achievement in the coming weeks.

Spirit, which has work on all Boeing commercial programs, builds about 70 percent of every 737 that the company delivers. Those deliveries now are comprised of the company’s Next-Generation 737 models and the growing 737 MAX family.

The 4 Minute Work Week Ain’t Gonna Work For You…Here’s Why…

Too many people think they can put in a 4 minute work week for their business and bring in the ‘Bennies. Here’s why they’ve been mislead…

So you’ve been pitched on the best thing since sliced (humble) pie…

They made a compelling offer and you bit.

“This is unreal!” they exclaimed. “Get set up and you’ll be making 10K a month working 4 hours a week!”

Not so fast Jackson…

I’m sure most of you have heard (or even read) ‘The 4-Hour Work Week’ by Tim Ferris. Ferris outlines a plan for streamlining your work processes so you put in less hours and have more time to enjoy your life.

No, I’m not going to criticize Tim’s book. What I am going to criticize is most people’s interpretation OF IT.Continue reading

Black Friday is Coming…Wait…It’s Crack Saturday

Black Friday is coming…but you’re waiting until Saturday because you don’t follow the pack, you zag…not zig, you’re Jan…not Cindy…right?

My email gave me a beating yesterday like a cheap pimp at a furry dice convention.

Every time I hit refresh on my phone…27 more emails:

“Just 24 hours! 75% Off!”

“Get While the Gettin’ is Good! Everything Must Go for the Next 12 Hours!”

“Insane Mystery Coupon! 80% Off Your Next HO-Tel Stay!”

“Get Back to Me Now…My Clothes Are Off and I Can’t Wai……..”

(oops. I started reading my spam folder…scratch that last example…)

I think you catch my driftwood here…

This is why I didn’t post or email you. (Aren’t you just thrilled?)Continue reading

The Hypocrisy of Shiny Object Syndrome

In the affiliate industry we’re always told to not fall for Shiny Object Syndrome. Well…here’s when maybe you should…

Ever had a friend that couldn’t focus on one thing for more than 3 minutes?

We all have.

They jump in to something full force with intensity that’s off the charts and next thing you know they’ve abandoned it like Dean Martin at an apple juice convention…

…and they’re on to the next thing.

It’s very common, and a surefire way to get nothing done.

This article in Entrepreneur characterizes it as a disease of distraction. But in the affiliate world this goes a step further: It’s when the serial buyer keeps buying course after course thinking that their latest purchase will bring them the success they desire.

That’s a troublesome rabbithole…Continue reading

“Start your own online business…just $250 per eye”

“Start your own online business…I’ll only need your corneas for 20 minutes and then I’ll get ’em right back to you…”

“I’ll only need your corneas for 20 minutes and then I’ll get ’em right back to you.”

I’m seeing (and hearing) a ton of these ads now on TV and radio…

You know what I’m talking about. The whole Lasik eye craze.

“Call now! Just $250 per eye while supplies last!”

I know quite a few people who have had their peepers overhauled with this procedure so I’m not arguing that it works. I’m just rather surprised that this method of advertising works for a medical procedure that’s obviously considered sensitive…

But from the amount of ads it IS apparently working.

“Start Your Own Online Business”

This reminds me of all the ‘ads’ I see on Facebook…especially the spammy groups.

An example I just pulled up from .76 seconds of searching:

‘If you could use a extra $300-$500 a week. for spending $18 one time…Would it be worth it?’Continue reading

Why Multi-Tasking Doesn’t Work

How often do you see people who are great at more than ONE THING? This is one of the reasons why multi-tasking doesn’t work…

A few months back I read an interview of a singer named Bruce Dickinson, who fronts the famous heavy metal band Iron Maiden.

Dickinson is also known for his accomplishments in aviation (he’s a licensed commercial airline pilot), fencing, writing novels and other pursuits.

He was releasing a book he had authored, and was asked by fan how he gets so much done with all he has going on in his life.

His answer was very illuminating.Continue reading
