Ex nihilo

Where are you starting out on your journey to success? Is your origin of humble beginnings? Are you at square one?

In your quest for millions of dollars and financial independence do you find yourself at the bottom? In other words you have absolutely nothing to work with.

Let me make it more clear. Are you deep in debt with nothing you can consider an asset? Are your savings depleted and you simply don't have anything ... I mean nothing?

That's great news!!! Confused? Well the reason why it's great news is because there have been so many people that started out in that exact same situation and they went on to become millionaires and establsihed massive fortunes and huge empires. They started out with absolutely nothing.


Which brings me to Ex nihilo. It means to "create out of nothing".

Even if you are starting with nothing you can create an abundance of wealth. If you are seeking financial independence then you need to hear this.

On August 3rd and 4th 2007 there will be seminar entitled, "Wealth Beyond Measure. At this seminar there will be some who have gone on to attain multi - millionaire status and they can show you the proces they used. Once again, even if you are starting out with nothing, they will show you how to create a Wealth Beyond Measure.


Well enough for now. In the days to come I will provide more details.


So until then remember .....ex nihilo. It's the same process God used. He created the universe out of nothing.


To Your Great Success.

P.S. The Wealth Beyond Measure Seminar will take place on
August 3 and 4th. Details to follow shortly

The Lion and the Gazelle

Are you an overachiever? Do you hit the ground running? Is it your policy to go over and above the call of duty?

Do you do what it takes to get the job done?

Who are the heavy hitters? The movers and shakers?!

You've seen em. They get up earlier than everyone else. They are the first one's in the office and the last ones to leave.

Sometimes they run through the night until the goal is met. Well just read this quote I came by:

"Every morning in Africa a Gazelle wakes up and realizes it must

out run the fastest lion or it will be killed and eaten.

Also every morning in Africa a Lion wakes up and realizes it must out run the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death.

It doesn't matter if you are a Lion or a Gazelle, when the sun comes up you better be running.

The Man Who Owns The Internet

I was at the airport a couple of days ago, in Baltimore Maryland waiting for my flight to depart for Cleveland, Ohio so I decided to browse through the bookstore to pass some time. There was a magazine entitled, “ Business 2.0” that caught my attention. It was right there in living color and the caption on the cover read as follows:
“The man Who owns the internet”. Kevin Ham is the most powerful dotcom Mogul you’ve never heard of. The story was by Paul Sloan.
Here’s how the master of web domains built his $300 million dollar empire.


That really got my attention so I purchased the magazine. It outlined the strategy he used to accomplish that feat which basically consisted of purchasing expired domain names which were still hanging out there after the dotcom bust.

Fascinating I thought. I read further. One particular day he purchased $650,000 in expired domains by way of bidding at an auction in Las Vegas. The article goes on to say this was a cheap day. Turns out Kevin put his medical career on hold after he starting receiving income in the neighborhood of $40,000 per month from expired domain names. It was not too long afterwards that Kevin and his wife were moving out of his one-bedroom apartment. I am going to go out on a limb and say this, I don’t think he will ever treat a patient.

Since 2000 he has gobbled up over 300,000 domains that generate an estimated $70 million a year in revenue, which Kevin would neither confirm nor deny. Kevin’s last sentence in this article was, “If you control all the domains, ‘then you control the internet."

This article gave a lot of detail but here is the part I found amazing. Whenever you go to a browser to type in a web address and lets say by mistake you key in .cm at the end instead of .com. Well you are automatically routed to a website called Agoga.com owned by Kevin, and this site is filled with ads supplied by yahoo. If you click on the ads Kevin makes money as does his partner.


Who is his partner? You’re going to love this. It’s Cameroon which is a West African country. Why Cameroon ? It’s because .cm is the country code for Cameroon so Kevin made the trip to West Africa to work out a deal with the Cameroon government for permission to use the .cm. In return the city of Cameroon will receive an undisclosed amount of compensation.

It gets even better, but I won’t go into all the details. Looks like he came up with creative ways to attain Wealth Beyond Measure. Of course there is the usual legal issues with some major corporations claiming there is an abuse of trademark, or he thinks this could happen in the future. Those things, however are for the attorneys to decide.



What was also good to hear was Christianity had long been a mainstay with his family. Ham it says will frequently steer conversations about business back to the bible. Even as an undergrad, the article says, “he made the bible a focal point of his life. A friend from church introduced him to the web in 1992 or 1993 and told him that there was a powerful new medium to spread the gospel.



He has other ambitious goals on the horizon but you can get those from the magazine. Well until the next time……

To your Great Success

Spider Man 3

In May 1984 I purchased a Spider-man comic for sixty cents. This comic featured Spider-man in his black costume, just as he appears in the movie, Spider man 3 which was released in the major theatres on May 5, 2007. I had a feeling this comic was going to be a collectors item, so I purchased six issues. (hard to believe that was 23 years ago). This used to be a major hobby of mine.


Well just recently I tried to sell one for $35 on eBay. Based on what everyone else what selling the same comic for I came up with $35. (almost everyone). I had the usual advertising proclaiming this was the issue with the black costume along with all the other details.

One person inquired by email and asked is the book in mint condition. I emailed back with a resounding absolutely!, even though I had described the comics condition as mint in my advertising. He replied, are any pages ripped or bent? I responded no, this book is in mint condition?!


He inquired again asking, “ Is the spine of the book rolled? Huh? NO!? I responded ---The book is in great shape --uh?! Mint condition!! Yessiree!! Once again he inquired, “Are the pages yellowing”? Hmm!? He asked so many questions I was beginning to think I did not know the definition of mint condition.

He finally emailed me back --- Great!! However he still did not purchase the book. Nor did he inquire again. I thought wow that was strange. Why didn’t he purchase the book? I soon got my answer. Being relatively new to eBay I did not have any feedback. After someone purchases your product they are given an opportunity to provide feedback such as the quality of service --- did the merchandise match your description --- did it take you an excessive amount of time to ship the merchandise and so on. And this is my own assessment.

By reviewing your feedback provided by other buyers a potential buyer of your product can see if you are a reputable seller with integrity, which evitably determines if they will purchase your product or not.



There was another factor I looked at and this is very critical and key to the comic book industry. An organization by the name of CGC (Certified Guaranty Company, LLC) was formed for the sole purpose of rating comic books. Basically they rate your comics and certify what condition a comic book is in. You can receive a rating all the way up to 10, which is extremely difficult to receive. The highest I have seen is a 9.8. As far as how far down the scale it goes I am not sure. Actually all the ratings I have seen were 8 or 9’s.


Any way it costs somewhere between $16 and $20 to send your comics to CGC for a rating. The CGC website will provide exact figures and procedures, (www.cgccomics.com). Now you are probably thinking for a comic book that you are selling for $35 it hardly seems worth it.


Well here is how it works, once CGC rates your comics it increases the value. Someone else was selling the exact same comic book on eBay after it had been rated by CGC, (a rating of 9.8) and it had a minimum bid of $150. There were five bidders on the same book with the highest bid at $500. There were still a couple of days to go for the bidding to end and if you are familiar with ebay sometimes that's when the major bidding goes on.

When I tried to sell my comic I was not completely aware of the services of CGC but I quickly learned the value of their rating service. I am so glad the person inquiring did not purchase that comic book which gives me an opportunity to send the book to CGC thereby increasing the value. So the individual that was thinking about purchasing my comic probably thought something was faulty about the book, reasoning that’s why the price was so low. Even though I stated mint condition. Actually it was lack of knowledge.

If you have comics that you want to sell you may want to inquire about CGC first. Also there are comic book dealers that will let you know if it is in fact worth it to send a comic to CGC because some books just don’t have any major value and sending them out could be a waste of time and money.

The CGC website has a place to key in a zip code to see what comic dealers are in your area to help package your books or just give you information about the process. All the comic dealers don’t all do the same thing in terms of preparing your books for shipment; some will do it for you others will not.

It’s an exact procedure that has to be followed. I have heard if you don’t follow that process to the letter your books will be returned to you unrated. For more accurate information check out www.cgccomics.com.

Yet another opportunity to build wealth beyond measure.

To Your Great Success.
