Default You gotta see this! What a day job!!

I am a General Contractor, re-invented as a Mini-Warehouse Self Storage Facility owner due to the ecomomy. Go figure. Just making ends meet I began to study the concept of Internet Income and came up with this:

http://yourfamilysurvival.com/

Just launched last Friday! This is what happens with a lot of time on your hands!

Check it out and let me know if you think it will work. I had to figure out a way to make a better living or at least supplement my income. I am determined to remain a part of my GYRO-NAUT Family, but its got to be affordable.

Fire away and don't hold back.

Tango

Wow someone didn't have his morning coffee yet! Exploiting? What do you call insurance than? They are all built on the same fear!!!! Why would this be any different? It is a healthy entrepreneurial idea in a capitalist environment and it should thrive well deservedly. Isn't it also advocated in the Bible that one shall help himself? He has a way to help people help themselves to prepare for anything they believe is coming at them. What is wrong with that? Wow..... Tim good luck my man. You have a great idea there and I wish you absolutely nothing but to prosper with your business idea

My thinking & view exactly Stan! Aware we are NOT yet as "prepared" as we should be - wanting/wishing to be established in a place with year-round food growing capability ( sub-tropical/temperate Australia???) Yes I see the biggest problem in America will be keeping looters away from the" production" facilities(farms etc) the sheer #s of starving lawless city population rampaging across the countryside scares the dickens outta me! Getting my concealed carry training & permit this spring!
Hog hunting armament on the gyros may have survivalist applications!!????
Looking foward to a good ole chin wag & Mentone!

I don't plan on being here for any worry about survival. I have been promised a free ticket out of here before the s**t hits the prop. I got caught up in the year 2000 thing and I'm not going to let that happen again. Good luck Tim, I'm sure you will have plenty of customers.

Just another song.....

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free
Dizzy with eternity.
Paint it with a skin of sky, brush in some clouds and sea
Call it home for you and me.

A peaceful place or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race.
Full of hope, full of grace, is the human face.
But afraid, we may our lay home to waste.

There's a fear down here we can't forget
Hasn't got a name just yet
Always awake, always around
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes,all fall down

Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime falls
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls
By and by again, the morning sun will rise
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes.

It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets
Staking turf, dividing up meat.
Nightmare spook, piece of heat,
It's you and me, you and me.

Click, flashblade in ghetto night.
Rudies looking for a fight.
Rat cat alley roll them bones.
Need that cash to feed that jones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes all fall down

Commissars and pin-striped bosses roll the dice
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price.
Money green or proletarian gray,
Selling guns instead of food today.

So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians throwing stones
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes,all fall down

Heartless powers try to tell us what to think
If the spirit's sleeping, then the flesh is ink.
And history's page, it is thusly carved in stone
The future's here, we are it, we are on our own.

If the game is lost then we're all the same
No one left to place or take the blame.
We will leave this place an empty stone
Or this shinning ball of blue we can call our home

So the kids they dance, they shake their bones
And the politicians are throwing stones
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes all fall down

Shooting powders back and forth
Singing "black goes south while white comes north"
And the whole world full of petty wars
Singing "I got mine and you got yours."

And the current fashions set the pace.
Lose your step, fall out of grace.
And the radical he rant and rage,
Singing "someone got to turn the page"

And the rich man in his summer home,
Singing "Just leave well enough alone"
But his pants are down, his cover's blown
And the politicians are throwing stones
So the kids they dance they shake their bones
Cause its all too clear we're on our own
Singing ashes,ashes all fall down, ashes,ashes all fall down

Picture a bright blue ball just spinning, spinning free

I tried to go there but of all the surfing i do - my software protection says the site is suspicious for malicious activity and warned me it would be best to exit now. Why would that be I wonder? I have only seen such a warning a few times. Something isn't right there.

Well..... I guess that is capitalism in action. Not sure if it is of the venture or vulture kind, however, I honestly wish you luck with your endeavour. The site looks very nice and fairly well laid out. The products are appropriate and you seem to have a grip on what to do if the $hit his the fan...

BTW what did you use to build the site? See you soon brother!

Good luck with your endeavour! It is a great win-win situation.
When the customers find out, nothing happens, they will be so happy about it and are ready for the next catastrophy.

Kai.

Hi Tim

This could work for you, best of luck. One thing that I noticed last year in the small town that I live in,(about 13000) gardening just exploded. Have a friend in town that has a greenhouse and he told me he had made a couple of "raised bed gardens" (one was ours) and after people found out about them he was swamped with people wanting to pay someone to build them one. He just could not do it and run the greenhouse business, reffered it to a landscape business and he is doing a goldmine business.

Tony

Tim, an interesting market.

You don't have to believe the world will end to see the value in the enterprise. This is not a bet that the world will end, only a bet that other people think the world will end. There's nothing wrong with starting a business to cater to their needs.

The only ethical dilemma will be avoiding too much hype on the marketing side.
