Home Business Owners need a Professional Profile

Dear Friends and Partners in YORGOO,

While part of the world is still in Thanksgiving mode or recovering from the Turkey factor, we at YORGOO are preparing for the YCADEMY NOVEMBER SEMINAR this coming weekend.

Congratulations to the loyal nucleus of active, enthusiastic pioneers who have taken this project on and will be running with it right to the top - of Google that is!

I would like to say: fantastic!

The Yorgoo Blaster does exactly what it is intended to do. To get you to the top of Google under what ever you want to promote by using the keywords of your own choice. If you are an internet marketer and have something to promote or sale, you must have the Yorgoo Blaster.

YORGOO - Destined for Greatness!

As we’re going into a weekend, think about this extract from “Think & Grow Rich” - the voice of some of the biggest wealth builders in the USA - sort of the people to watch and learn from when it comes to starting your own Business - offline or online:

“Ralph Waldo Emerson said:

“It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

It’s easy when you are part of a group to “go along to get along,” but when you are able to maintain your own highest standards of integrity - regardless of what others may do - you are destined for greatness. When you have developed a carefully thought out code of personal conduct, you will never have to ask anyone else what the appropriate course of action should be. You will intuitively know.”

This is exactly part of what YORGOO-YCADEMY have been teaching since the beginning - and it’s one of the reasons why Home Business Owners need a Professional Profile. You must be ‘findable’ if someone looks you up on Google. Your name must be there, where you are from, what your expertise is and what solutions you offer for peoples’ needs. And, of course, we need to be able to contact you from there if what you offer appeals to us or fulfills an urgent need we may have. Seeing a friendly picture helps as well - we like to see who we are talking to!

If you have an established business, you obviously create a much more indepth profile with a Business and Mission Statement and details about your products and/or services.

But don’t let this keep you from acting professionally from day one, even if you’re just starting out! The Internet is the big ‘equalizer’ and you can achieve top positions as anyone else.

The YORGOO Dublicator Team is proof of exactly that! Duplication is the key to successful Network Marketing and any MLM. But you want to know who you duplicate - and you want to offer a professional Profile to the person duplicating you sooner or later as you proceed in your business venture. So you see that you need to establish who you are in clear terms and publish it.

More on this soon - for the time being, focus on the weekend duties to keep your Traffic flowing:

2008 - See the waves coming…? 

Make a conscious decision to end this year on a high - never mind what lies behind: look ahead! Look forward only to the Best - What you focus on expands… remember?

Attract the Absolutely Best!

Here’s wishing you all a wonderful relaxing and peaceful weekend with family and friends. As most of you are going into cold winter times, I am sending tons of sunshine, music and positive vibes from the beautiful Rainbow Nation… right from the Beach at the tip of Africa!

Together We Are Unbeatable!

At YORGOO Everybody is a Winner!

Dear Friends and Partners in YORGOO!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our American friends! Celebrate the ‘harvest’ with Gratitude for what you have and enjoy a joyful Thanksgiving Dinner with family and friends.

We are exactly 68740 Members from 144 countries with 24 596 785 Visits as I write - and bear in mind that YORGOO isn’t even 3 years young! This memorable day will be celebrated in grand YORGOO style on 29 January 2009… but until then we still have some major benchmarks to achieve and as you will see in a moment, great recognition and cash prizes are awaiting those who are actively building their own business by using YORGOO as their chosen professional tool!

Read that again! Yes! YORGOO rewards YOU for doing what you ought to be doing in your very own interest anyway… just as an extra little punch in the back and a reward for the activity that helps everybody get better results and serves as a fantastic motivation and ‘kick’ especially for our newer members - who we all welcome very warmly. Yes: you too can participate in the weekly and monthly YORGOO Referral Contest - never mind whether you are a free member or a Pro. We can track each single lead and signup… and indeed, we spend hours looking at your performance and drawing conclusions from there as to improvements and strategies to make things happen better, faster and more funwise for YOU!

At YORGOO Everybody is a Winner… but some are winning more than others

Before we show you the top scorers of the past 15 days (doesn’t time just fly…?), and as we are on the topic of ‘competitions’, here’s an amazing ‘mystery’ story that I hopefully resolve one day… although, sometimes mysteries should remain what they are… especially if they fulfill a great purpose.

Since a while, I receive almost daily inspirational mails from a mystery person in Canada - and as I assume he or she is somewhere in my YORGOO Team I hope this is being read by… YOU!
With all the Spam coming in, this mystery mailer just sends a refreshing moment of light and laughter without any  commercial hind-thoughts - and at times at the absolutely right moment when needed. I have thanked and received responses without the veil of mystery being lifted. I guess I could track the mystery sender down… however, I prefer that things unfold with Magic. Must be the child within me… duh! Let’s see… but here’s what I received as one of the many magnificent images from this year’s Sand Castle Competition in the so-called Sand Sculpture Capital of the World at Harrison Hotsprings, British Columbia, Canada. Cheers… another hint here: Location Location!

Looking at these transitory sculptures built of sand… and bearing in mind that every grain of sand was shoveled there by its respective sculptor… arent’ we amazed at their expressions and an incredible attention to detail in the execution…. ?

And as a second thought, don’t we all just sigh at the idea that - sooner or later - weather will ruin it all and what will be left is nothing but the memory of Fantasies and Dreams materialized in sand… and gone with the wind… until a new year, a new cycle lifts the participants to new heights of Creation? Just for the Fun of it…

Being part of the process is what makes us a Winner on a personal level already - although, for our career on the Internet we don’t build with sand nor on sand, and according to Yorgo recent scientific studies have come to the clear conclusion that it takes us 10 years of consistent and committed work to achieve Excellence in what we do! This may be in Sports, in the Arts or in Business and Commerce.

Shocked?

Well, at YORGOO we never believed in any overnight success but together with our active nucleus - with YOU - we build solid, step-by-step Business firstly through personal development and Authority which in turn attracts financial success over Time. The question is always: what do YOU want?

Do You Want to Build an Online Business that Lasts?

if so, you are at the right place and my suggestion would be that you give yourself the Time and the Means to build solid following the proven YORGOO roadmap on the “Path to Profitability”.

We are looking forward to seeing her sweet smile again… but health and healing come first… and we hope that your Special Day was painted with colours of Love and Laughter!

THINK & GROW RICH : Cheap is too Expensive!

There’s no better business foundation for you than studying and re-studying Napleon Hill’s famous classic: THINK & GROW RICH! You don’t need to spend a dime; you can get it at no cost from the Internet. However, the important point is to take time and read and understand it. YOu can even request the Daily Quotes from www.naphill.org 

The more you read the more you understand. So let’s go into a quote right away:

THE ONE WHO TRIES TO GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING GENERALLY WINDS UP GETTING NOTHING FOR SOMETHING.

“Those who think they can get by in life without providing the same amount of value for value received will eventually find themselves working harder than ever to deceive others and receiving very little in return. Life has a funny way of evening the score.

In the long run, you will get in the same measure you give.

Spend your time on productive, positive efforts; give generously of your time and talents, and you will stand out from the great multitudes whose primary goal in life seems to be to get something for nothing.”

Now here’s an idea for you:

If you’re a free member in YORGOO and you see the value this successful tool provides you with - and this in conjunction with Daily Support and Free Trainings, consider doing an Upgrade to Pro from your YORGOO Back Office. See the super PRO BONUS there and realize that you are investing in yourself. Have a PRO attitude - it gets you to the top!

The Mini Cooper - A Celebrity Car You Can Afford

 
While we ventured into the Sports World of Celebrities in our recent post on the 2008 MINI Convertible with its cheery bulldog face and almost fifty years of history, featuring best-known kayaker on the planet Tao Berman who has his eyes on a Mini Cooper S, this fun car has been spotted with Goldie Hawn and Jimmy Fallon at the wheel.

Talking of Celebrity Cars, however, the Cooper is best known as part of pop star Britney Spears’ fleet.

The pop star’s MINI convertible gained notoriety when the then 24-year-old pregnant pop star drove her convertible Mini Cooper with 8-month-old son Sean Preston in the back, sitting in a car seat facing forward - which made her promptly a poster woman for child car-seat safety.

“In one regard, she’s done more for child safety-seat awareness than anyone else in California,” California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall said. “The fact that she’s a big star doesn’t play into it for us.”

The Mini Cooper - A Celebrity Car You Can Afford

Now this is no cheap car… however, if this is your dream car too… how about getting it at Best Price - namely YOUR PRICE?

At DubLi Auctions you can… look :

Does one need an iPod case at all?

In case you didn’t know, Louis Vuitton isn’t the only fashion designer to create personalized iPod cases; in fact celebrities and fashion designers have joined forces a while ago already to create iPod cases for good causes and charity.

While Louis Vuitton’s iPod trunk for Chanel kingpin Karl Lagerfeld may be the most extravagant protection for any iPod and Donna Karan created her version out of hammered brass, featuring a playlist with music from 20 years of her glamorous fashion shows, hip-hop fashion designer Marc Ecko launched a charity project where celebrities will partner with top-notch fashion designers for the creation of their own iPod covers, examples being Carolina Herrera with Renee Zellweger and Judith Leiber with Katie Holmes. As such, the project “Styles & Sound” is a fundraising initiative for ‘Fashion Targets Breast Cancer’ (FTBC). celebrity partner.”

These iPod cases went on sale in June 2008 in an online charity auction, held in conjunction with eBay Live Auctions. All proceeds went to FTBC.

Does one need an iPod case at all?

yes, absolutely!

If you bought a brand-new iPod, get a protective cover as soon as possible and pay special attention to seeing to it that the sensitive fragile parts of your iPod are well protected as they are the most vulnerable to being damaged. Only the part of the iPod that you are using at the time should be exposed; not more. Cases come in hard aluminum or soft leather versions for carrying your iPod as clips, necklaces, wrist straps.

Count as of $35 - $100… or get your custom-made Louis Vuitton iPod trunk like Karl Lagerfeld… if you can wait up to 8 months and fork out a couple of thousand dollars…

The choice - as always - is your’s!

Have a great LVDay!

‘Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation’ in Paris in a Building designed by famous Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry

Cape Town, 24 November 2008

Clouds always fascinated me! Don’t we all start dreaming when looking up into the sky watching the clouds… our thoughts transcending into immaterial spheres where spirit is free…? Where are we when we do this… here or there or inbetween?
And who are we anyway?

Life is all about Dreaming but some dream more than others… so much so that they create Magic… pulling their Visions straight into a material reality. May I invite you to look at the evolution of a cloud: CLOUD by Frank Gehry . . .

Today, when waking up, I had a Vision. Something difficult to express just fell into place - clearer than ever although with new mysteries to be solved. The concept is not new to me and probably not to you either, however, this was visual and it was almost physical: what we call an ‘aura’ - and the way we generally perceive it… namely as a halo of luminous radiation surrounding the head of a person of particular spiritual advancement or holiness as seen in religious art and often referred to as the ’spiritual signature’ of a person - suddenly appeared in a different light.

Imagine an inversed scenario.

The halo we see radiating away from a person’s head now coming in towards it instead. I clearly saw how humans are receptors… attracting from the Universe those powerful streams of energy we need to transform our dreams, thoughts and ideas into our material reality. The more ‘realistic’ an image is ’seen’ and ’sensed’ in the immaterial shape - almost pre-formated as one could call it in our web-based era - and then experimented and played with in various stages, expressions and aspects of its realization - be it sketches, models, writings, photos and discussions all on and around the same subject, the same dream - the bigger the chance of attracting all the combinations that are essential for its eventual realization.

The sensation connected to it was an almost sizzling surge of rays of energy all focused on the human brain (or whatever it represents or is hidden there still unbeknown to us). There was a cascade of laser beams from all sides, drawn in from the dark depths of the universe… suddenly appearing as luminous dots… developing into laser lines of light converging towards one target: the human head… forming a magnificent golden halo.

What happens then and there?

You see, the CLOUD by Frank Gehry and his amazing career and biography inspired me. What makes the difference between a project that’s being realized and another that isn’t - even if it appears ‘better’ in many aspects?

I remember formulating a concept for a European TV documentary on Award Winning Architectural Projects that were never realized and already filled endless drawers back in the late eighties… awesome projects of extreme audacity and beauty of the human mind… each single one of them. And while the documentary was never realized either (!), the questions surrounding it still fascinate me today.

Writing about the ‘Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation’ in Paris in a Building designed by world-renowned Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry… plus the sudden flash of realization this morning re-awakened those thoughts: what makes the difference between one project being realized . . . while another isn’t?

If it’s not the quality… what is it? 
The  magnitude of intent amplified and transformed within the human mind?
Timing?

I won’t find the answer to this easily, however, when financial power is attracted by a creative genius Magic happens - as we see here in form of a fascinating Architecture by Frank Gehry for the Louis Vuitton Foundation for Creation in Paris, France.

This new museum for Modern Art with its dynamic flow of light and osmosis between the inside and the outside seamlessly integrating the surrounding natural environment of the Jardin d’Acclimatation within the heart of the Bois de Boulogne is certainly one of the most remarkable projects  Frank Gehry ever planned… never mind getting the green light to realize it in a dramatic setting amidst a huge park, a river, the sky - and of course: Paris!

The spectacular project was commissioned by modern patrons Bernard Arnault, chairman of LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy), and -Yves Carcelle, President of Louis Vuitton as part of their 15-year commitment to… "…promote culture, heritage and contemporary creation…"  in France.

Talking of ‘amplification’!

Let me quote from the time when this magnificent project with its projected completion in 2009, started. I leave it up to your receptiveness and readiness to look beyond the form to see how it all falls into place… and deduct from there the message it bears for you:

"The 127 million dollar museum is a dream coming true from Bernard Arnault, but also for Frank Gehry himself…"

Here’s from Frank Gehry - the artist, the architect, the Dreamer of an immaterial structure called . . . the CLOUD:

“The project is a dream, so the idea is to make a dream. . .
The idea is of a cloud made of glass.”

Look at some of Gehry’s most prominent buildings and their clearly defined style:

Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao, Spain - 1997

The architect has been quoted as saying that "the randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light". At the time, architect Philip Johnson called this icon of Deconstructivism "the greatest building of our time".

As you may notice, it already bears the theme of water and light.

Gehry-Tower, Hannover, Germany       Dance House, Prague, Hungary

Now look at the evolution . . . the distinct attempt to draw the immaterial into material form and shape: 

“I want everything to look like my drawings. The model is not quite there. We’ve built 30 or 40 models, and the design is still evolving. It’s not going to look exactly like this, so forgive me: I want the lines to look like the sketch…" (Frank Gehry)

Definitely, I want to move and flow within this space one day… re-capturing the extraordinary feelings of awe and inspiration a city buzzing with Arts and Architecture and cultural influences from all over the world - old and new - offered the young enthusiastic student back then…

Clearly… impossible without the "other side of the Dream" - the "modern Medicis" :

Here’s from Bernard Arnault:

"Creating an exceptional bond between Art and Culture, taking up the challenge of daring and emotion [...] 
It will be driven by what has always been our Group’s motivation: classicism and a break with the past, tradition and innovation."

Here’s from Yves Carcelle:

"Inviting the public to a journey at the heart of Creation [...]
Creation has always been one of the driving forces behind our success."

There is no Creation without a Dream… and as such the Louis Vuitton Foundation is the first of its kind in France based on the fusion of two ambitions: the long-standing commitment of France to promote the arts, civilizations and cultural exchanges and that of Louis Vuitton and LVMH - France’s key players in Art patronage since 1991.

And it all started with a Dream. . .

Look at the skies, follow the clouds and let your imagination fly. . .

Karl Lagerfeld’s custom Louis Vuitton iPod trunk

When writing how a Louis Vuitton Case is being made I had no idea what I would be discovering soon. . . although it reminds me of the times when I shot TV documentaries on Design Fairs in Germany in the early nineties, where the young Avantgarde was always my favorite… times when everything one needed was compressed into a minimum of space, more minimal even than minimalistic!

Forward 2008

Here now… the latest invention of La Maison Louis Vuitton! The creative genius with an explosive finger triggering the pulse of time. Truly… a case is not a case - but Louis Vuitton makes an exceptional case for everything!

Don’t get envious… when you see this special one-off show-off Travel Case to die for . . .  a Louis Vuitton iPod trunk for Karl Lagerfeld . . . made of black Taiga leather with brass fittings and a red microfiber interior made to spec for the star designer of CHANEL, Karl Lagerfeld. Oh yes, and his red initials are engraved right below the trunk’s handle. Like in the good old days.

But that’s not all… as tech specialist Justin Yu from CNET put it in his humorous style (…by the way, when he’s not scouring eBay for useless ephemera or eating hot dogs for breakfast, he spends his time making fun of Internet culture… hint, hint … Fun Shopping ) :

"… The majestic travel case houses a smaller drawer inside that can hold 20 iPods at once along with chargers, headphones, Maltese Falcons, and other accessories in Karl’s mysterious cache. KL also instructed LV to cut him a compartment specifically for his precious JBL Creature iPod speakers and subwoofer combo.

Wait, back up…why does he have 20 iPods? And JBL Creature speakers? Are you kidding me?

Is there a spot in there for his Apple Newton and spare floppy disks, too?

Someone should probably escort Mr. Lagerfeld to the nearest external hard drive, it’ll blow his mind. After that, maybe a crash course on the progressive history of laptops and the current state of high fidelity speakers.

Actually, forget it; maybe he can just pay Louis Vuitton to build him a leather-wrapped time machine to transport him back to 2004."

If you want this ultimate ‘party-in-a-trunk’ and have the necessary financial launchpad for it… be prepared to wait up to eight months. Maximum.

And by the way…

Very affordable for ‘4 Minute’ hitmaker Madonna who is getting 10 million dollars for being the face of Louis Vuitton. . . following Jennifer Lopez, Uma Thurman and Scarlett Johansson.

That’s pure LV Luxury for you… with your initials engraved for eternity!

Have a great LVDay!
