Growing A Global Business!!

Hello all my friends and assocaites I just wanted to let everyone know that I am back from vacation and ready to continue growing our business into a global enterprise. We will be going into new partnerships and ventures in the near future that will be most productive. Over the last year I have gone through a lot of personal problems and I have seen the economic changes in business. Some people I know have knocked me for not doing more to make this company a global enterprise. I have taken friends and partners comments into consideration and decided to make bigger changes to our business. In a effort to make a greater business I have not watched the stock market as much as I should have and that has resulted in our retail business has gone bad. I have instituted some new policy changes that i feel will help get us on the right track again. I have decided to dump the current phone provider and we in the short term future will be going with a better phone service much sooner. I will keep everyone posted on the new changes and update everyone as to what they all are after they are implemented. Hope everyone has a very blessed day!!

Growing our Business!!

I just wanted to note that our business has major brand name affilliates and big well known companies added to our marketing program which will increase sales and as more join our company our business keeps expanding into new markets. With the additions to our marketing program and the using of social media now we are reaching a larger market share than we ever did in the past. We are going soon to partner with Satalite radio and use that to promaote our brand name which will reach a whole new spectrum of radio and video readership. in about three months Vimeo and Itunes will begin streaming our content live online and hope to similcast that on satillite radio channnel on Sirrius XM if they agree to it. Let us hope that they will sign on to be our partner and we will either have a show on one of thier channels or maybe even our own channel so we will see how this negotiations go with them sooner. The talk show is almost ready to begin and I will be the host for the new show on BLOGTALKRADIO.com called MODERN POLITICAL THINKING and so I hope that everyone will join the show and make it a great success. In ernest with a bigger growing business we are going to be back on E-Bay selling our products as the page is allready there for usage. A new store page on Amazon and PayPal will also feature our new product base and other companies have allready agreed to sign up annd partner to feature thier products and brand with us. So look for new things coming and hope that our company brand will grow and we will be a bigger success in year 2011.. Oh by the way I have tried to get VOICE America to feature a talk show with me as the host of the show but as of to date they have snubbed me so I will keep trying to get them into our network affilliation and Hope that is successfull sooner. Everyone have a really great day and enjoy your week..

Learning about Social Media!!

Hello my friends,
I though I would start out by saying that now I am using
socail media for more than just personal things like I did in the past. I have been reading the power of using social media such as facebook and myspace and twitter etc. to publicize my busineeses and my talk show and music like I never did before. Ok call me late to catch on but it hit me recently that if you want to drag customers to your sites to buy or use your products then you should be using social media to bring in into your customer base and generate sales. When I started out thirty five years ago on bulliton boards and began learning how to be a programmer in Basic language who would have thoought that technology would come so far and so fast that in a generation about 33 years that business would need to use socail media to build a good customer base and good public relations would depend on the internet and using social media. well fast forward top the present day to the fact that if your not incorporating social media into a business plan such as I am doing then your business ventures are bound to fail. I have this year started to do what alot of other big busineses have allready done and that is to use social media to promote my companies and my music,talk show and other things that I am into. As of this point my companies are affilliated with alot of giant well known name businesses and I continue to see new market shares open up because the internet is a global medeuim in which you can make money and share the good will and possible phlanthophy of all the businesses that I am doing. I recently reading the biographies of Mark Zuckerberg who created Facebook which many things in his book made alot of sense about creating and builing a business. I came away with a new understanding of how public media is a great platform for business who want to grow and prosper in this new world of the digital age. Your company image really depends now on a good website with a shopping cart and public media to draw in uour customers to it as well as using other things like print and television ads. Lets face it folks the world has radically changed in how it buy and looks for products and services and so as a business if you want to be a success then you had better jump onto the internet and use it's resources to build your business or your going to be lost in the shuffle by your competitors. If you look at the top 100 world wide companies who are making billions they all use the internet and social media such as facebook and twitter etc. to keep up with thier image and to promote new products and services that they are getiing into as well as the ones that the brands that they allready handle both on and offline. So Even the Stock market is all online now and most everything offline is now online in this digital age so creating a new start up company or growing a existing one really depends on putting your company on the internet. So I drink to you and heres to your success everyone and to good cheer today lets go make some money as President and CEO of our business ventures since that is what makes everyones life much better.
With the new invention and growing usage of modern age devices that are mobile and connect to the internet it just makes a even bigger market share that as a business you can tap into and become a additional customer base for the for seeable futher so I am going ahead with a plan to use this untapped base for my businesses and you should be too if you want to grow your company profits for now and the future of your business.
Have a great day now and be blessed by GOD and pad your wallet... BIG SMILE!!!!

I am greatly thankfull for the interesting phone calls and the friendship of Queen Elizebeth of England even though sometimes we have had a occassional misunderstanding this year and past years. I wish to thank Queen Elizabeth for offering to make me a Knight in a public ceremony and for all the other wonderfull things she has offered me this year and in past years. I want to thank past Prime Minister Tony Blair for his thoughtfull phone calls to me and for all the other people who have made my life richer at 10 Downing Street London,England and Buckingham Palace for thier knidness and interesting chatting on the phone with them and for all thier help. I decided to come forward and thank the people who around the world have made my life interesting and helped me. I don't gain any money or anything else by doing this writing about all this just thank I want to thank the people who I have met and also those I have talked to on the phone at great length about the status of the world today. I want to thank German Chancelor and President Angela Merkel for her friendship with me and phone conversations about world problems and her openness and willingness to listen to my thoughts and ideas this year and for her offer to insist on my attendance to the Nato meetings in Brussells Belgium and the G_12 economic summit as a representitive of America. I want to thank current President Barack Oboma and His wife and White House cabinet people including Attorney General Eric Holder,Defense Secertary Donald Rumsfeld and others from the White House with the interesting phone conversations this year. I also want to thank Barack Oboma for offering me a cabinet level job as Secertary of State to replace the current person Hilliary Clinton and to take over her job and to consider me for a duel role as head of running the campain reelection team for Barack Oboma's second term in office. I wish to be your friend still as you asked me Barack if we could be friends and work together the answer is still yes to that and I enjoyed talking to you alot and thanks for inviting me to lunch with you and meet with you at Camp David. To Vladimir Putin of Russia thanks for calling me several times and you got lots to talk about but sorry I was in so much of a hurry when you called me so I could not get alot of my points across to you this year.

Remembering A Friend!!

Today is a deeply sad day for me as I have lost a good friend and the entire family mark the passing yesterday of a great personal friend of mine Gina White. I know that thoughout the past ten or more years that I have been fortunate to know her and be friends with her that she has allways helped me alot even sometimes when she sensed I needed it but did not ask for it. I just want to send my condolences to all her family and to say that i will miss her niceness,caring,giving and her smile and humor. This wonderfull person of real faith in God and lover of the Christian Church will be be surely missed by me,my mother and both my dogs who are friends of Gina White. As I sit here at ths computer counsole I remember a person who posessed more in good caracter,wisdom and personality than most women i have met in my life yet still she had not much for physical wealth but sure made up for it in a Masters Degree being blind and not able to see. Gina taught everyone that nothing is impossible if God is involved and to reach for your dreams allways no matter how many enemies you make and bad people that try to sell you out or drag you down as she allways said that to me including about a week ago. Her motto is allways been life is too short to to fail God and not persue things of Godly nature to include work,school and relationships etc. So I sit here and as a public statement of caring and appreciation for Gina White who loved everyone and shared everything she had I thank you Gina White for everything good that you gave me and done for me in my lifetime and being a good friend and a mentor to me all the years I have known you. Rest In Peace My Friend... Yours allways===>> Rick Norton

Your Money Invested!!

Hello Friends,
I woke up this morning with alot of ideas and money on my mind today and how it is best to invest it. I have been reading the financial section like I do every week and something really hit me that I don't think many other editors have written about much and that is the price of gold and other more valuable commodities. I just struck me that with all the Federal Reserve Bank is doing to prop up our failing economy that none of the markets and the Fed bank are really protected by a dollar bill currency that is backed by anything that has any real value tied to gold or diamonds. I know that statement might be considered wrong because over many decades the Federal Reserve has put real gold bullion into the vault at Fort Knox and possible another location but if you put the total value of all the gold that this country owns verses the amount of paper money printed then you see that the value of the dollar changes to almost nothing or no value. This all compared to the meager value of all precious metal including gold presently stored in any safe holding area means that our dollar bill as a currency is worth only the paper it is printed on and no more than that. No wonder why we have become the largest debtor nation on earth and yet we continue to out spend our own GDP and real net worth in gold by a huge margin. This is why we are a economic melt down is slowly happening in his country and why we are losing jobs and productivity due to our high tax and wastefull spending habits as a nation. Every time we increase the national debt ceiling we increase the amount of pain that the current generations have to bear which includes a poor economy but also the future generations of young kids who are going to find it even harder to make something of themselves due to our lack of financial sanity.So you be asking your self so why does this effect my own investing strategy and how much will I have to work until I can retire and live on my savings and investments? Good question for my readers to consider and look at thier own net worth. Well heres the answer and that is takes about $300,000 dollars in accumulated wealth to just live what little years you have left after you retire to still have a home and food and some bills paid based on current inflation. The current value of the dollar bills you have you would get about 9 years living that way and your investment accounts and savings accounts would be broke which is why so many Americans are allready broke or facing being broke due to the national debt and cost of living. So my prediction is that gold will hit $3000.00 a ounce by March of year 2011 and that is why it is a good idea to buy gold now intead of waiting for some time later. While some blue chip stocks are a good investment still and most people run to bonds when the stock market goes sour but nothing beats the real value of gold and other metals and diamonds. So investing in a hard currency that has a value and will never completely lose that value is allways a smart decision. Look at your own debt to net worth ratio and see where you can increase it and decrease your overall debt and also add more value by buying gold,diamonds and other valueable metals that is a good way to weather the poor economic ressession that we as all Americans are going through. Have a great now my friends and enjoy your day of Wednesday and stay warm!!!!

Winter Cold Blast and Climate Changes!!!

Hello everyone today well well cold sure has come to this northern region and today it is 14 degrees here which I say is nice for the snow lovers but not for me. Yup you know that christmas is coming soon and in fact 15 days it will be here. Wow this year has surely gone fast and this year has been a strange one for me and alot of people I know. Can hardly believe that it is perdicted a foot a snow for tonight and a warming trend this weekend if you call fifty degrees warm. I see the weather map and most of the country is in a artic type freeze right now. Just a few weeks back old man winter dumped about three feet of snow in Chicago and the twin cities of Minnapolis and Saint Paul Minnasota. I have been to that area and you can tell the climate change from the rest of the country as even during summer it is still sometimes during the day bitter cold and never gets past fourty degrees day time temps. I don't know how those people can stand that type of cold and want to continue living with it full time. This year is even more different as the extreme south of the USA is getting bitter cold temps just the sameas new england is getting this December. I think the whole country has changed due to major climate changes that are reflection of the slow deterioration of planet earths noorth and south poles as well as the deforestation of the amazon rain forest and other key parts of the worlds eco system. One recent study suggested that I watched on discovery channel suggests a more grim prospect for the future of earth and that is going to have another Ice Age which would wipe out most of life thst currently exists. My opinion is that after watching and studying the data from various sources of information and different core samples from earth plus much more it all points to some where in future time this planet is going to suffer a catastrophic event that is goiing to change earths core and crust to a frigid cold or blazing inferno. Either way the search for another planet is a neccessasary thing to do and will give the hoe to all animal,human and plants and treees etc. when this planet is no longer habitable. You also have to look at the large metorites in space as a real continued threat to our existance on earth due to the size and number of them. The fact that we as earthlings have already experianced the destructive power of this kind of event hitting earth and we can look at a good example of that event that created the grand canyon in Arizona. So that alone could set this planet into another ice age or worse. Another more recent type of climate change example is Mount Penatubo when it erupted and spewed lava and ash that covered most of the earth with it. The ash other particles were carried some as far as 15,000 miles away from the mountain itself which harmed plant and amil and human life for many years to come. These are just some climate events that lead me to think that with the cold being so exstreme this year and each year it ha s gotten worse that on a scientific basis I think it worth noting that with all the wars and famine and poverty and other things that plague this planet are revelavant but not as important as where earth is headed to and why and how are we not going to prevent our race and all plant and animal life from being wiped out by natural events such as a Ice Age or metorite slamming into our planet from some far away place.. I think we as a human race have much more to learn from our planet and galaxy history and present as to how and what is going to be a real threat to our continued existance and how best to prevent this planet from from dieing on us. some more recent estimates show from scientific data that Nasa Space agentcy and independent research suggests a far more darker prospect for the overal longeveity of earth based on it's current rate of decay that we may only have only have another mellenium or about one thousand years of life of time left before this planet is a dead planet for life and resources. That is not a good prospect for earth and something that is more to fear and get to understand about earth that we all live on than man made problems. even though some of those are acellerating these planet and climate changes. Some important things for my readers world wide to ponder and do something abot to improve earth. Have a great day everyone and enjoy your weekend!!! BIG SMILE!!!!!

Hmm. Learning About My Readership!!

Hello friends I just got myself quite a shock at the list of countries that read my blog as I never been to that menu and oh my I can say I am stunned at how many people have come to my blog page. Ok Ok I been been ignorant and thought no one was reading this page at all till I just clicked on a world view map and got my eyes opened. Ok my life is not easy and right now it is very hard but I guess I thought no one would ever read my blog here. Hmmmm.. Guess I am wrong and sorry to my reader for being blind as to what I post here and not knowing that this page is read in I counted about 19 countries around the world. I appologize for not knowing and since it is that well read it means I will try now from here on to improve this page with more content and less of my personal woes and pain of life. Since I am the editor I will try to bring more quality journalism to this page and who knows maybe this page will the catalist for starting a regular newspaper online which I have thought of doing many times. I have written many books and some are published with those that did get published making it to the New York Times best seller list so that i am still proud of. So with that note at the end of the day I will continue to write to this and improve on it since now I know it is worth while doing it.. I also want to note that I just started today writing on a journalism forum called 1source.com and hope to make some good things happen with that soon. I started a new music page to promote my music on OURSTAGE.com/JohnNorton and in spite of my lifes woes I still plan on making a music video and show of my tunes that I have written. I unfortunately have not done anything with my www.exploretalent.com/johnnorton page to get movie and modeling contracts but I will have to turn to doing more about that sooner. Have A Blessed Day Now To EVeryone!!!!!!!
