The Fortune Key Will Get You Working Smarter

In my previous post, I highlighted the importance of working smarter. One man sent me a message saying "I don't need no stinking Fortune Key to create my business". My answer? Yes, he's right, but let me rephrase what he said. You don't need Fortune Key to create a mediocre business that eats up 90% of your time and for profits that people only laugh about. I know it sounds a bit harsh, but if there are opportunities to improve your business and make your life easier, there is no reason to diss a good product.

Businesses have been built way before the Fortune Key method was established, so in most part, it's alright to say that you don't need the method to get you started. However, if you want to have an efficient business process (e.g. less work, more results) then you need to at least try the method that the Fortune Key is recommending. I have seen many companies used the system and they are growing and expanding like crazy. It's the big businesses like Dell, McDonald's, and Intel who got first dibs at these methods when they were looking for ways to save on costs. The result was an efficient system that took most of the workload off the shoulders of the owners.

Now, wouldn't you like to use that method in your own business? I think you would.

Working Smarter Beats Working Harder All The Time

If you can get a job done in 8 hours (that's 1 work day), that's a good thing. But if you can do the same job in half the time, then that's very impressive. See, that's the difference between working harder and working smarter. Hardwork is not bad at all, but if you can find a way to deliver results in half the time, then you are saving yourself from unnecessary stress. Getting things done doesn't mean you end up exhausted and beaten at the end of day. Accomplishing a job means should mean that you have the rest of the day to enjoy. Even more so if you are juggling 2 to 3 jobs just to make ends meet.

Proponents of "working smarter" suggests that you prioritize what needs to be done and delegate those that are not a matter of life and death. Different work activities require different methods to accomplish them. Before you start your day, list down the things that needs to be done and prioritize them. If you need to rank them from 1 to 10 (1 being the top priority), then do so. This is one way of gauging what can be done today and what can wait for the next day or so. Clearly, the workload doesn't have to be too heavy. When it becomes to burdensome, then you should accept that there is a flaw in the system. Don't blame yourself for that hiccup. It's not your fault the system sucks. But instead of breaking your back doing everything at the same time, learn to prioritize. If your boss doesn't know how to do this, you have to tell him or her in the most subtle way possible.

I reckon if something is not a matter of life and death, it can wait. But of course, that's not how businesses operate, especially in customer service. But what the message I'm trying to impart is that if you work smarter, you will find yourself having a lot of extra time in your hands to do things that matter more to you. Work is not your life. You deserve a break once in a while.

When people go into online business (or any other business), they start to go crazy and work even longer hours. That's not what owning a business is all about. Now, if you want a business method that will allow you to work smarter and not harder, The Fortune Key is one of your options. If you ask me, it's probably the best there is around. McDonald's and Dell use the system and look at them now. You don't have to be in the big league to access this valuable information. In fact, if you are one of the small guys in the business, you will certainly benefit from The Fortune Key methods. If you think it's worth it, click here.

When 3 Part Time Jobs Are Not Enough

Would you rather have one full time job or 3 part time work at home jobs? This is a tough one to answer. I have been in both scenarios and I can honestly say that working at home has a bit more advantage than having to work in an office. However, if you find yourself with 3 part time jobs just to have the same salary as you would in an office job, common sense tells you that you're better off with 1 full time job. I have discussed the disadvantages of working at home and if you are more inclined to do the things in the list, then you have no reason to stay at home and work your butt off. But then again, the decision is really yours. Just make sure that the one you choose is the lesser evil.

Before I used the Fortune Key method in my online business, I was juggling 3 work at home jobs. I was writing for 3 different companies. I was spending more than 8 hours doing all three. I was better off having my full time 9 to 5 job. But I still control my schedule, which is the best thing that came out of my decision to work at home. The thing is that even with 3 part time jobs, it seems I still am not satisfied. With the effort I am putting on these jobs, I was always left exhausted. Sure, the money is there, but I don't get to enjoy them. I may be a bit workaholic, but the point is, the three jobs don't earn me enough money if I base it on my efforts. A 16-hour workday is equal to two shifts. So, I should be paid double, but I wasn't. It wasn't a fair set-up. I can choose to cut down on my working hours, but I will be missing out on the opportunities.

At that point, I knew that I was not working smarter. I was working harder. So, when the opportunity to create an online business surfaced, I grabbed it, put the wheels in motion and voila! I easily gave up 2 part time jobs. This is not because I was gonna use the time to supervise my business, no way. I used that time to go out and have some fun. All because the Fortune Key system worked for my business. If it works for me, it will definitely work for you. Learn more about it at the Fortune Key website.

An Online Business Needs To Have A Proven System

You'd be surprised to know that there are many people who start their online business without a plan. If they do have a plan, chances are they don't have a system that works for them. In fact, those that start their onlone businesses using ebay or craigslist do most of the jobs by themselves. It's only when they start to earn a little more profit that they start to automote things and hire people to do some of the legwork.

Take the case of my first online toy shop. I set it up by myself. That meant buying all the items, keeping inventory, packing/mailing/shipping, notifying and updating the customers. Oh, I have to even go to the post to see if the checks arrived (paypal isn't that popular back then) and I have to go to the bank to deposit them. It didn't take too long for me to feel the burn. It was exhausting, to say the least. Fortunately, the growth of the Internet prompted changes that made it very easy for online merchants to conduct business. The shopping cart, easy payment systems, and inventory tracking allowed me to automate most of the processes. I eventually made use of a dependable courier service so I could cut down my involvement in the legwork. Of course, all these automation and third party service were eating a portion of my profits. Let's face it, convenience is not cheap. Was the additional costs worth it? Yes it is. But sometimes I wonder if there is a way to cut down on costs even more.

It took me a few more years to find a better system. It cut down much of my operating costs plus I didn't have to spend all my day supervising. My headache was gone. I get to spend more time to do things that matter more. To know more about the system I used, click here.

Less Work, More Family Time - It's Possible

When I was an employee of a huge financial data company, all I dream about is to work at the comforts of my home and do the things that I love to do. It was a dream tha stayed as a dream for 10 years. It was when I started doing some online gigs that I began to have some free time. Real free time. When I say real, I'm talking about 4 hours of free time each day, over and above the 8 hours of sleep and few more hours for doing household chores. This is serious free time. And to do what? Anything!

With all the free time I had, I was able to finish my culinary studies. It's not something you can do if you are tied up at work. Of course this didn't happen overnight. It took quite some time before I finally got these much needed free time. in fact, had I not used this new business system, I don't think i will be able to do anything substantial other than my 9 to 5 job. The beauty of the system is that it requires less supervision. The key is to learn the methods and you'll be up and running in no time. This system has worked for huge corporations but nobody thought it could work for little businesses that you and I have, or dream of. It has done its job for the big guys but it works even more for the small guys. Read more about it here.

Enjoy Yourself With The Fortune Key

My neighbour always crank up the volume of his radio every Sunday morning so everyone would hear old songs that he enjoyed listening to when he was a kid. Just this morning, I was awaken by the words:

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself,
It's later than you think.


It is a very old song (ancient would best describe it). It's one hell of a catchy song but, but what really strikes me is the lyrics. It has a simple message but it will make you think about the way you live your life.

Here's the rest of the lyrics

You work and work
For years and years
You're always on the go.
You never take a minute off,
Too busy making dough.
Someday, you say, you'll have your fun
When you're a millioniare.
Imagine all the fun you'll have
In some old rocking-chair.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.

You're gonna take that ocean trip
No matter come what may.
You got your reservations
But you just can't get away.
Next year, for sure, you'll see the world,
You'll really get around;
But how far can you travel
When you're six feet underground?

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly a as wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.

Get out and see the world...

You worry when the weather's cold,
You worry when it's hot.
You worry when you're doing well,
You worry when you're doing not.
It's worry, worry all of the time,
You don't know how to laugh.
They'll think of something funny
When they write your epitaph.

Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by, as quickly as wink.
Enjoy yourself, Enjoy yourself
It's later than you think.


I guess it's time for you to enjoy yourself. Maybe The Fortune Key can help.

The Fortune Key: Revolutionizing Your Online Business System

I've said many times over that The Fortune Key has quite an impressive system that allows you to spend less time on your business without losing profits. In fact, it allows you to have more time to focus on your core business and have fun doing other activities that matter to you. This is quite an extraordinary proposition that Leon Hill (the author) is talking about in the Fortune Key.

I find the method revolutionary because it is something that not all businesses have utilised. Those who have made use of the system has profited from it in a major way. Companies like Dell, Chevron, and McDonald's have been making use of the system and it helped them to cut down on costs and increase their profitability. They are living testament that the system and methodology works.

The thing that you have to keep in mind here is that The Fortune Key method not only works on huge corporations, but can also work for little guys like us. Even those who are slowly making money using Craiglist and ebay.com. Find out more about the system here.

Spending Less Time On Your Online Business

I was asked by a friend of mine why I feel that there is a need to use The Fortune Key method in his online business. He currently operates an online store using ebay and paypal system. He is quite successful, which just means the business system is working for him. He recognizes this and gave me the "why fix when it ain't broken" line. I told him, your business system doesn't have to be broken to make use of the Fortune Key method.

When I asked him how many hours he spends each day on his business, he said between 12 to 16 hours depending on the volume of orders. This is pretty normal work hours if you are doing business at home. So that means you have to split the remaining 8-12 hours between sleep and family time. While I know that there's nothing broken in his business system, I told him that he's spending so much time and effort when he can do all those in half the time or less. That's the edge you'll get if you make use of the Fortune Key system. For that reason alone, you will want to learn the system. It's up to you if you want to make use of it on your current business or create an entirely different one. Either way, you will benefit from it.

More family time makes The Fortune Key worth trying.

Use Fortune Key Method To Your Craigslist - Ebay Business

It's no secret. You can earn money by using Craiglist and Ebay. I've done a lot of buying and selling using these two popular websites or marketplaces. I stopped in 2006 because I was offered a job. But that doesn't mean that the buy and sell business is not profitable. It was very profitable. In fact, had I not been offered a job, I would still be in the buy and sell business. My problem then was that in involved a lot of transactions and there's some legwork (packaging, shipping, mailing, etc.). Now, what if I tell you that you can use The Fortune Key method in your existing Craigslist-Ebay business? But first, how does the Craigslist-Ebay business work?

Here's how I did mine.

1. Create an Ebay and Craigslist account. This is important because you will be using these accounts to start your business.

2. Pick a product to sell and initially concentrate on this. As I was in the toys and electronics business, I picked the game consoles and games. So I was in the business of selling PSP, PS2, Nintendo, etc. For this example, let's choose Sony PSP.

3. Go to Craigslist.org and choose an area. If you live in California, choose the state and then and the specific area you live.

4. Go to ebay.com and search for Sony PSP. Search those that are ending soon and see the prices that bidders are willing to pay for the PSP. Say, you found out that the PSP prices are between $200 to $250 for brand new. Now, you just have to buy the same model at a lower price and that's where you go to Craigslist to find one that is cheaper.

5. Go back to Craigslist.org and search for brand new Sony PSP selling below $200. It's up to you how much profit you want. So the cheaper the price, the better. For example, you got the PSP for $150.

6. If you find a seller, contact him or her and close the transaction.

7. List the PSP on ebay at a reasonable starting bid price. The auction will usually end in 7 days (or more depending on what you chose).

8. If at the end of auction you see that your PSP was sold for $250, then you will have a profit of $100. This is only for 1 item. If you have 10 PSPs then, that's $1,000 profit.

9. You can do the reverse method as well. That is if you find cheaper items on ebay, then buy from there and sell on craigslist.

NOTE: Factor in the shipping costs that you paid and the shipping cost you will charge your buyer. Take into account the ebay charges as well.

HERE IS THE SPIN: You can make use of The Fortune Key method to improve the performance of your Craigslist or Ebay business. I've revealed the Craiglist and Ebay methods, now read about The Fortune Key method. You'd be surprised how powerful and timely the method is if you are into the Ebay or Craigslist business.

The information I shared here is enough to earn you lots of money. If you want to earn EVEN MORE, then use the Fortune Key method.

The Fortune Key Bonus Pack Will Tickle You Pink

I have been posting short entries called "This Just In" (Read it here and here. They are just short posts about what I earned following the methods in The Fortune Key Bonus Pack. This is just barely scratching the surface. I will continue to post similar entries when I see fit. Surely, you will know if I achieve the $2,000 a day income. I have a good feeling that it will be soon. The most I had in a day is $1,200. I understand the ups and downs of the business but in light of recession and market slowdown, earning extra cash in that amount (in a day to boot!) is one big achievement. Let me say again that income came from the bonus pack included in The Fortune Key. Just a little extra sweetener to supplement your main income. Details of the bonus pack can be found here.

Shopper Lady Reviews The Fortune Key

I was surprised to see a review of The Fortune Key by Shopper Lady. I think she was also impressed with the methods explained in the Fortune Key. Reading her review, i think the biggest drawback is the price of $87.

I think I have to explain a bit on how hard it is to get solid information about something. I worked in a financial data company for 5 years and huge corporations buy data in bulk for staggering amounts. The data or information that these companies buy are those that are very crucial in their operations. So, for this kind of information, the sky is the limit when it comes to budget.

I believe that the $87 is a good price for the wealth of information you will get from The Fortne Key. You can't start a business without some form of investment. You have to start somewhere and The Fortune Key offers you new methods for a fraction of the price you would normally pay if you look elsewhere. So if you are worried about the price, remember that there is a money-back guarantee. Honestly, you will earn ten times that amount in just a short time.

The Fortune Key: This Just In $540

Remember my previous post? That amount of work (less than an hour) continues to give me residual income. Just a few minutes ago, I earned $540 without even doing serious work. It's crazy in a good way. I'm not quite sure how far this would go. Of course, I will spend substantial time on this because I want to earn more. But that's not to say I will spend 8 hours. I was thinking perhaps 2 hours. If you want to learn more about the residual income from the Fortune Key, then hop on to this.

The Money I Didn't See Coming

I am one of those who believe that you can get a decent income online. I put this to the test in 2001 and even if I was not earning as much as I expected, I knew that if I stay in this line of work, I will eventually stike gold. Ebay was a source of income at that time. I was earning around $500 a week. Ok, it's not much, but that's still $2,000 per month. Keep in mind that I had a full time job back then. So, the $2,000 is just extra cash on my pocket. It went on for some time and then I started to look for other online opportunities. I did some typing, online marketing, and then blogging. The typing thing was a scam, the online marketing didn't surpass my ebay earnings, and blogging was only giving me a few dollars. It was a real struggle and they are not worth quitting my full time job.

So, all those things I did on and off for the next 5 years. With all of them combined, I have a pretty decent online income. But it's was still not someting you will give up your job for. It was in 2006 when things started to show some promise. I became a web content producer for a company that owns a network of sites. The pay is good and the best part is I work from home. It was a dream job but it was quite demanding. I was spending 8-12 hours a day and I was stressed by the deadlines. So, I thought I should find something that will let me earn without much effort.

I didn't think it was possible until I got an invitation to try new business methods that I can use for online business. It was The Fortune Key. I was told that there was information that can change the way I do things online. Well, to tell you the truth, the Fortune Key made sense to me. It was the push I needed to continue my online career. It guided me through the business processes and systems which made my headaches go away. What's more I get to earn additional $1,200-$3,000 a day without much effort. Because of this influx of money, I am close to reaching my annual income level target. If I can do it, I don't see any reason why you couldn't. It took me years to get to this point. You can have a shortcut with this.

The Fortune Key: This Just In - $1200

The revolutionary business methods of the Fortune Key guided me in my new online venture. What's so sweet is that the free gift from Leon Hill (gosh, you need to read about it here) earned me an extra $1,200 just now. What made it even sweeter is that I only spent less than an hour to earn that much. Imagine my earning potential if I doubled my efforts. I wish I could hide my excitement, but I can't. Perhaps before the day ends, I will earn much more...even when I sleep. That's something that I can look forward to each day.

Fun With The Fortune Key

My friends have been reading this blog ever since I created it in July. The funny thing is that they cannot believe how serious the entries were. They asked if I have a ghost writer, which of course, I don't have. I told them that online business is a serious matter and I like to be as professional as I can be in sharing the things I know about online ventures. What they don't know is that the online business I built for myself using The Fortune Key methods is the most fun business I've had. I cannot divulge the specifics right now because it is still in its early stages. All I can say is that my business is within the Toy industry. Now, what could be more fun than that? To the inexperienced, the business systems and processes can be very taxing. Had I not been guided by The Fortune Key, I don't think I would want to proceed.

At this point, I believe that my new online venture will be more successful because of the revolutionary methods that The Fortune Key gave me. Believe me when I say that you will have less business headaches if you have a proven business system.

It's Never Too Late To Start An Online Business Or Work At Home Job

I don't understand why some people can just easily pass up a good opportunity due to reasons such as "old age", "too late", "no time", and "too complicated". I figured if someone is not really keen on having an online business, you will surely hear many reasons or excuses. The way I see it, some people are not willing to take the risk because it is really difficult to tell which business is legitimate and which one is a scam. More often than not, people learn the hard way. They had to be a victim of a scam to finally learn how to distinguish the real from the fake. I am one of those who had to go through some major setbacks before earning substantial online income.

An online business or a work at home job can give you much more room to earn money. Why? Because it takes little effort to make some money online. An employee who goes to the office each day will have to spend at least 8 hours for a fixed salary. When working from home, you only need to spend at least 2 hours (or less) in front of the computer and the business system will do most of the work. That leaves you with lots of time for other activities that matter more in your life.

In my posts, I had been emphasizing that online jobs or businesses may or may not work for you. But you will never know if it will work for you if you don't at least try the opportunities presented to you. There's always a risk involve when venturing into the "unknown". Even more so if you are not very knowledgeable in the ways of the Internet. But you see, if you learn the basics (email and internet surfing), then you're good to go. Believe it or not, online opportunities are not concerned about your age, gender, background, or work experience. Why? because these opportunities teach you everything you need to know to start your online career.

Of the many online opportunities that I had tried, one of the most relevant is The Fortune Key.It has revolutionary methods of doing business online. The things you need to know about doing business online are there for you, explained in the easiest way possible. I am lucky to have stumbled upon this great tool to start and operate my online business.

So, whether you are young or old, broke or rich, you will find online opportunities that will fit you. All you have to do is know what you want to do and evalute the online opportunities. If you really want to start in good form, you will want to read about this.

Online Business For The Internet-Challenged

Having an online business is something a lot of people want to have in their lifetime. The problem is that not everyone is internet-savvy. Sure, they know how to surf the net, but they wouldn't bother with the other stuff that the Internet can offer. So, the question is, how will an inernet-challenged individual get his shot at the online wealth that is waiting to be discovered?

The most simple answer is to learn the ways of the Internet. It's not that hard really. Even my father who is 65 years old uses the Internet for a lot of things other than just reading the online paper. The important thing here is to know the basics. It can be learned in a matter of minutes. What do you really need to learn? Well, you just need to learn how to create an email account and start using it to get in touch with family and friends. The next is to learn how to navigate the browsers that open up websites. Just two simple things.

When you know the basics, then you can start an online business. I have talked about The Fortune Key in my articles and blog entries. While this is just one of the tools you need to set up a business, I reckon that it is one of the easiest. In fact, there's a method for the amateurs and another method for the internet veterans. So, even if you are new to this online scene, you have a fighting chance to succeed. You can learn more about earning money online or building your online business here. Yep, it will work for you even if you are Internet-challenged.

If You Have One Shot At Online Business...


Then you need to set up a business system that has a higher chance of delivering results. The tested methods of Google AdSense and Affiliate Marketing have guaranteed residual income and the system will stay in place as long as people keep earning. The thing is that not everyone has maximised the use of those methods, hence, the money that comes in is not as much as they had anticipated. This is normal because in any business, it takes a while to rake in the money. However, if you are putting so much time and effort on a particular online business and it still does not give you the results that was promised you, then you know it's time to look elsewhere.

I have tried a lot of online business and work at home jobs in the span of 8 years. There have been a lot of hits and misses and it gets a little crazy. My earnings never really picked up until I started to do several online jobs at the same time. Of course, the money piles up, but imagine the time I spent working. I was better off at the corporate job I had because back then my work was done after 8 hours.

I told myself that I need an online business that will not demand more than 8 hours of my time each day. So, after many more misses, I stumbled upon The Fortune Key. It gave me the business method that did not demand more than I can give. Now, I understand that that this business method may or may not work for everyone. It all depends on how you want to do your business, but if you have only one shot at an online business, make sure that you have The Fortune Key as one of your options. It just might fit you to a T.
