[22:28] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> or plans

[22:28] <John_Gosselin> Yes Tim - you announced you had a web site to go with it - can we look at it?

[22:28] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> john, its for the Friday show,

[22:29] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> but i may let you peek early, thursday maybe

[22:30] <Paulette_Nurse> Come on Tim give us a sneak peak, pretty please!!

[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> its not finished yet

[22:30] <John_Gosselin> Ty

[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i already have Naomi and Kelly on one of the plans

[22:30] <Paulette_Nurse> Okay, I'll wait.

[22:30] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> and i decided it would be better to put it on a website so that i don't have to re explain it every time

[22:31] <Paulette_Nurse> I'm available if you need another test monkey (millionaire).

[22:31] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> this is a plan to have a million in the bank, after all your expenses, y our living, and taxes.

[22:31] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> paulette, I would like you all to be.  My goal is 100 on the plan before the end of this year,

[22:32] <Traci_Benoit> I'll volunteer also, lol

[22:32] <Traci_Benoit> I already have those plans, although I'd like to compare notes

[22:33] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> i have plans from 1 year 4 months,  to 30 years

[22:33] <John_Gosselin> Ditto

[22:34] <Traci_Benoit> My goal is to retire by age 35. A big goal, but I know it's possible

[22:34] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> traci, how old are you now?

[22:34] <Traci_Benoit> 27 in January

[22:34] <Danielle_Danko> well since im past that age i'll give it to 45 lol

[22:34] <Traci_Benoit> lol

[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> traci, that can be done relatively easy, by yourself or with 1 salesperson plus yourself working

[22:35] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> 5 sales a week

[22:35] <John_Gosselin> Oh Traci... the good old days - enjoy them while you can!!  It goes faster than it feels at the time

[22:35] <Traci_Benoit> so if I minus myself, and get 3 sales people, I should be doing pretty good?

[22:36] <Traci_Benoit> John, yeah, I was 21 and single one day, next thing I know I'm 27, married with 2 kids and a mortgage, lol

[22:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> traci, yes, if you make no sales but you have salespeople making a total of 10 per week, it can be done by 35

[22:36] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> that can be 1 salesperson, or 5 salespersons, 10 sales is 10 sales

[22:38] <Marvin_Davis> brb

[22:38] <John_Gosselin> Traci - I was that way once.... what seems like a lifetime ago - now 46 and two teenagers!  Enjoy every moment with your kids - they turn into 16 year olds!!!!  :)

[22:38] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> and 25 year olds

[22:39] <Traci_Benoit> Tim, do any of your plans involve controlling more than one portal?

[22:56] <Rodney_Webb> Thanks, but I hope to learn from you guys

[22:57] <Mickey_Mixon> Rodney, I have been a private investigator for the last 10 years. I market my PI business, sort of like direct sales, but different.

[22:57] <Marvin_Davis> b2b ?

[22:57] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> marvin b2b - business to business

[22:57] <Marvin_Davis> tks

[22:57] <Rodney_Webb> If you think about it, all business owners are sales reps

[22:57] <Marvin_Davis> i like that now!

[22:57] <Tim_Drobnick_Sr> mickey, how do you market a PI business?

[22:59] <Mickey_Mixon> in the beginning, a lot of cold calling and networking. Now, mostly referrals.

[23:00] <Mickey_Mixon> I have the entreprenurs curse, I market when I don't have business, and when I have business I don't market.

[23:01] <Mickey_Mixon> Lots of presentations in front of HR groups and hiring authorities. A lot like direct sales, but still different.

[23:02] <Rodney_Webb> anyone, what is direct sales?

[23:03] <Marvin_Davis> Tim there is one thing about your beautiful portal system there is a lot of very interesting people involved and i think thats the greatest thing since the internet!

[23:03] <John_Gosselin> Well put Marvin!

[23:04] <John_Gosselin> Rodney - not sure how to explain it... sales directly to business or individuals - different than a store which relies on traffic?
