TOPIC: Joint Ventures – Leveraging Other Businesses Assets

KLAV 1230 AM – “The Talk of Las Vegas”
Thursday, 8:00 p.m. est/5:00 p.m. pst

Willie Crawford was raised on a tobacco farm in North Carolina, living off welfare most of his youth. His family was so poor that he once wore his grandmother’s shoe to school while working to earn money to replace his only dilapidated pair.  This built a burning desire in Willie to break away from the poverty and build his own business.

Willie worked his way through college, then joined the Air Force where he traveled to 47 different countries while serving as a navigator on C-130 transport aircraft. During that time, Willie also learned “a little” of five different languages.

In 1996, while still serving in the Air Force in Hawaii, Willie decided to start his own internet-based business.  By the time he retired in 2003, Willie had built that into a 6-figure part-time income.

Willie is now one of the world’s leading internet marketing experts, having spoken at dozens of seminars in the United States, Malaysia, Singapore and the U.K.

Willie has created dozens of information products, written over 1100 articles and 34 ebooks on ecommerce. He’s hosted seminars, and now hosts his own radio show several times per week.

Willie has an incredible 1600 websites, some of which get over 1 million unique visitors per month.

Willie leverages his knowledge of online marketing, and the connections that he’s developed over the years to help others launch products. Willie often serves as a middleman or a joint venture broker. He’s also Executive Director of The International Association of Joint Venture Brokers, and co-founder of The JV University at http://TheJVUniversity.com

Willie has written several books including a bestselling soul food cookbook (featured in The Soul Food Museum in Atlanta, Georgia), and an inspirational biography.

When Willie is not busy teaching ecommerce online via his membership site at The Internet Marketing Inner Circle, or teaching local businesses to use the internet to drive more business through their doors, he enjoys deep sea fishing in The Gulf of Mexico… not too far from his Florida home.

Darnell Brown

Raven talks to Darnell about :

• Creativity
• Affordability
• Turnaround-Time
• Services

Darnell Brown is a young expert graphic/web designer that has been drawing and sketching for nearly 20 years. He vividly remembers the first time he laid pencil to paper, which was during his first home video viewing of the original “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie. He then went on to win his first award for “Best Drawing” for a lion design he drew with crayon in Kindergarten. Since that time, he went on studying Art as a class in every single grade level through high school, winning various awards such as “Best Design” for School Spirit t-shirts in the 6th grade and “2nd Place Design Theme” for a Veteran’s Day festival in 1997.

Darnell graduated high school in 2002 and went on to pursue Graphic Design as his major at King’s College later that year. Spending 25 hours per week studying at college coerced him to compress 2 years worth of learning into 16 months while also maintaining a cumulative Dean’s List of Excellence and juggling a part-time job. His studies there included programs such as: Typography I & II, Design and Color, Electronic Layout and Design, Web Development with HTML, and Web Design. Upon graduating in December 2003, he landed his first full-time occupation at an advertising firm in April 2004. After working there for 4 years, Darnell’s entrepreneurial spirit led him to creating Blucanvis Designs, his own freelance design firm and after 1 full year of being self-employed, Darnell is keeping the phones ringing, the emails traveling and clients happy! He continues to apply his ambitions and creativity, earning numerous compliments for cutting-edge designs backed by super-fast turnaround time.

Lori Snyder is CEO of Executive Lifestyle Coaching Inc; a company devoted to helping people worldwide discover how to put into action a powerful life plan that works to help them create their best life.

Life Altering Decisions

After twelve years of marriage, and two beautiful children, two wonderful people, Lori and her ex-spouse decided it was time to dissolve their union.

Although not what people who join together ever foresee happening, nor do they want this ending to happen, sometimes after all avenues have been searched, and exhausted together, this seems to be the best solution.

When something reaches a point of being unworkable, even after the two bring in the help of a third person to help facilitate change, when change does not occur, and the two people involved are unhappy, and the two are just not on the same page, and know in their hearts they never will be again, as sad as it is, the break-up is the only way to help each of them rebuild their lives, and empower themselves to create the life they were meant to live. The life that everyone is meant to live, and that is a life of unstoppable happiness, success and total well-being and fulfillment for themselves and their families.

This is the situation Lori found herself in, and she was able to come through stronger, wiser, and with accolades of happiness. And it is this gift Lori loves to share, as well as to help empower the people whose lives she touches. It is the power of a positive transition, along with the use of the correct tools to help create and implement a successful life plan for you that works. Lori loves working with people to help them to discover their happiness. Lori was able to focus and move her life in a direction of positive career change and self-growth, with the reward of achieving everything, and continuing to achieve everything she strives for.

Loral Langemeier
Saturday: August 1, 2009

Loral Langemeier is one of today’s most dynamic and pioneering financial strategists. A New York Times best-selling author and a leading motivational speaker, Loral has spurred thousands across the country from dazed apathy and fear of finance to millionaire status by giving them the simple tools to launch innovative businesses that generate cash and build wealth.

Loral believes that everyone-from homemakers and single moms to white-collar desk jockeys, time-clock punchers, and retirees-has the ability to make more money. Her simple recipe involves capitalizing on the skills and passions you already possess to build a business from the ground up that will become a “Cash Machine®” that forever changes your life and fortune. Any “spare-time” skill-quilter, scrapbooker, handyman, gardener-can be parlayed into more cash and become the foundation for a bigger, better life.

Born and raised on a farm in Nebraska, Loral Langemeier started from scratch. Growing up, she had neither money nor connections. She created her first business at 17, and by the time she was 34, had established a multi-million dollar portfolio. Loral has built a number of businesses in a variety of industries, several of which have grossed millions. Her most recent accomplishment is growing her current business into a $19 million company in only five years.

With her trademark passion and exuberance, Loral is committed to “sharing the wealth,” spreading her message to an ever-increasing audience by taking the mystery out of making money. “We have to get people into a simple conversation about money,” she says. “It’s a scary conversation for many, but it doesn’t need to be.”

Loral believes one of the biggest mistakes many make is concentrating on getting out of debt rather than creating new money. “If you want to sit around counting pennies and live a smaller, have-to-have life, then focus on your debt,” she says. “In fact, I promise you that if you spend the next year focused on getting your debt down to nothing, you will have exactly that at the end of the year-nothing. Focusing on debt is like dieting without exercise. It’s an endless cycle of starvation with no lasting results. However, if you spend this year building a business, you will break every unproductive financial cycle you’ve ever had.”

With her straightforward message on how to attain financial freedom, Loral has taught thousands of ordinary people how to generate cash and build wealth. As Founder and CEO of Live Out Loud, Loral has shared her proprietary Wealth Cycle® strategies at seminars across the country, teaching people her simple recipe for capitalizing on their skills and passions to build their fortunes.

Loral is the author of the national best-seller The Millionaire Maker and two New York Times bestsellers, The Millionaire Maker’s Guide to Wealth Cycle Investing and The Millionaire Maker’s Guide to Creating a Cash Machine for Life. In addition to her sold-out Millionaire Maker® events, currently acts as a financial expert on the Dr. Phil Show, mentoring families in financial crisis. She has appeared frequently on CNN, CNBC and Fox New Channel; has been featured in USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times; and on the web at ABCNews.com, Forbes.com, and BusinessWeek.com.  She has been a weekly guest columnist on Gather.com and for TheStreet.com, an in-depth financial analysis and news website co-founded by CNBC “Mad Money” host, Jim Cramer. She is the creator of The Millionaire Maker Game®, a board game that teaches people how to build wealth through asset generating ventures.

“Loral is that friend and Dutch uncle everyone needs when feeling alone,” says Michael E. Gerber, author of The E-Myth Revisited. “She knows of what she speaks. Loral is a remarkably energetic and passionate woman who has done all she writes about on her own and has succeeded splendidly in a game in which few win.”

In 1975, long before there were “food personalities” like Emeril Lagasse, Paul Newman and Nigella Lawsohn, Wally Amos came up with the idea that he could sell his cookies as an entertainment personality — a gourmet chocolate chip cookie.

Borrowing $25,000 from friends, Amos opened the first freestanding store, on Sunset Boulevard, in Hollywood, CA, that sold only cookies: The Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookie store.

Soon the entrepreneur became a national personality renowned not only for his cookies but for his ebullient and outgoing persona as well.
