A reality check in the USA is well and tuely on display to the world right here and now, as we all can see and feel the pressure of Wall Street.

This article is not based on wall street or anything to do with the corporate world and the share market. This is a simple story on finding a balance between these huge conglomorations of business and getting off the floor of being in a job.
As in Just Off Broke. Yes I know it is not a original saying although it fits this story nicely.

My wife has written a book about me actually, damn that was jolly decent of her, wasn’t it?
Anyway in times like now it seems to be a great time to let you know about this book as it is all about finding a balance between, work, family, business and love.

It is factual and told in a story, a fiction story to make it interesting and pleasurable to read. At the end of each chapter it goes into the facts and measures taken to get through the issues within the chapter.
Each chapter starts with a few upcoming issues that are told through the story then once again explained in facts again about certain situations.

At a time like now, there will be some great business opportunities to get into although you will have to be very wise and astute to make it work.
What I mean is you will not want to get into a massive debt and try building up a business.

Now or within 12 months would be a great time to go looking for a business that you are extremely passionate about and willing to work in it yourself. You will need to have some cash as this is what will get you a bargain priced business.
Most of all you must, must operate this business yourself.
This load of crap going around where you work on your business and not in it, is crap.

If you are anything like me you will have noticed a few dramas in the corporate world of banking and finance lately.

Well if you hadn’t you are probably not reading this story here either,
However to those that are aware of what is happening in Corporate USA and certain areas of the world, lets see what we can do here.

As I am in a private business to do with the hospitality industry, I see some awesome opportunities on the horizon.
Now some of you may be thinking just what is this dude on about and some of you will be thinking yep. youre dead right there.

Then again I asume a lot of people will be in the middle and wandering just what to do next.

Most of us already know that when doom and gloom is about there is always a land of opportunity as well.

We will seek the land of opportunity option here, for these are times coming ahead that I feel will offer plenty of opportunity. With caution I might add.

Are you looking forward to more Hurricane’s like Ike or would you rather Travel and be on a beautiful beach in sunny Australia?

With the US exchange rate to Australia at around 80 cents, it makes traveling to Australia affordable and a ideal time to avoid the nasty habits of winter,

Traveling to Aussie right now may not be for everyone, although by getting to a travel agent now and checking out a few specials and some Itinaries, you will surprise yourself on how rewarding these options can be. For example, early bird plane bookings and pre-booking certain hotels can save a lot of dollars up front and therefore allowing you to have that bit extra for spending money. And believe me it is a nice feeling when you see that gift you want for that great friend or relative advertised at a special price. Especially as you are there before the main holiday rush, and be able to comfortably afford it.

The other most important aspect of Australia at this fast approaching time of year, is that you can miss the massive amount of flies that invade certain areas of Australia in a month or two from now. Laying on a sheltered part of a beautiful beach can be destroyed by the annoying bloody house fly, and lots of them.

By taking your holiday now to Australia you get all the benefits including:

• Avoid the coming US winter and Hurricane’s like Ike
• Cheaper airfares
• Great exchange rate
• Coming into a beautiful summer
• Avoiding the annoying Aussie fly’s
• Take advantage of early summer specials on travel and accommodation.
• Some great gift deals on clothing and other products from the winter range coming on special.
• Checking out new summer clothes for the coming US summer, get in early and be a leader in fashion.
