New report shows Minnesota’s tourism industry continues to rebound

The art and the photo opportunities draw people to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. As one of the most well-known landmarks in Minneapolis, it attracts travelers from across the country.

“We came for the State Fair and now we’re just sight-seeing,” said Peter Hay, while visiting the site.

He was raised in Minnesota but now lives in Santa Barbara. Hay brought California-native Nancy Saltamachio with him to the Twin Cities.

“It seems like a really exciting and happening area,” said Saltamachio. “I’ve kind of had a pleasant surprise.”

Minnesota’s tourism industry has seen growth this summer. A survey conducted in mid-August of 324 hospitality and tourism businesses statewide showed 81% reported they’re in a growing or stable but positive financial position.

The survey was conducted by Explore Minnesota, Hospitality Minnesota and the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

Do you want to know how to take your life to the next level ?

What is this “next level” that so many coaches and consultants talk about?

If you want to get particular about it, any motion in either direction is the next level. It depends on if you would like to go up or go down. And in a massive universe, up and down is irrelevant.

All you need to do to succeed in life or in business, is to dedicate yourself and never quit.

You can not fail if you do not quit.

I remember when I tested for my black belt. I was very tired, and I wanted to quit so badly. However I knew that I needed to persist. So I did earn my black belt in taekwondo.

What have you set for a goal, and accomplished?

Here are a few things to do while in Minneapolis

Here are a few options for you to try.

Let’s be honest, are you happy?

Can we agree that the Internet is a busy place?

Do you know how many users there are on the Internet? You can Google it. It’s well over 1 million.

Your competition for attention, is over 1 million.

Can you honestly say that you are on the first page of Google? Is the traffic that you are getting on your website significant enough to earn you a full-time income so that you can live the lifestyle that you desire?

Are you still working a job? Or are you self-employed and financially free?

We all know there are a lot of posers on the Internet pretending to be financially successful. Posing with their exotic cars, briefcases full of cash, going on extravagant vacations and traveling the world.

The hourly compensation model is limiting. There are only so many hours you can work in a day. And if you are employed by someone else, there is only so much money they can afford to pay you per hour. That is very limited.

So in my opinion, the best approach is to become self-employed and generate your own income. There is no limit to how much you can make. There is also no limit to how much you can lose.

Let’s be honest.

Are you debt-free?

Almost everyone has debts. But when they spend more than they make, that’s when they get in financial trouble.

This is why I prefer the recurring commissions from promoting subscription-based type products and services.

Let’s be honest.

If you were to calculate the hours you work on your business, how much are you making per hour?

Are you working for a minimum wage?

I will be honest!

The majority of my income, does not come from my affiliate marketing activity. My income comes from the money I have saved and invested.

The Internet is dynamic and always changing. Making it a moving target and we are constantly making changes and trying to figure out the algorithms and the plethora of changes happening in online activities.

Let’s be honest.

How Event Planners and Suppliers can use MailBox Power for Profit

Do you remember “The Pony Express” and what it represented? I recall people using the term to express how slow things moved. When in reality, The Pony Express was FAST and a very good way to communicate.

Now we have the Internet. Which in my opinion, is not that efficient for impactful communication. The Internet does however operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Therefore the internet is a wonderful platform to LEVERAGE our technologies and automation. This is why I call MailBox Power my Magic Marketing Tool.

VIDEO: What Event Planners need to know when hiring entertainment

Hiring entertainment is not like buying products off the shelf. There are a lot of variables to consider when hiring entertainment for an event.

Also, there are things that a experienced entertainer knows about events, that sometimes the event planner might not take into consideration.

In this video, I talk with my friend Steve Hart about his experience as a full-time Speaker and Magician.
