How likely is it that I’ve been exposed to rabies (from cattle bones)?

Friday, March 5th, 2010

I feel kind of stupid asking this question, but I have OCD and this has been nagging at the back of my mind for a while now.

Back in early November, I found bovine bones on my new property (femur and scapula), and being the strange collector I am, I left them outside for a few days while I moved into the house. Keep in mind the previous owners of this place were cow farmers.
The bones were quite dry and old, and they had likely been sitting in the sun all summer.

After a while I brought them into the house and washed them in hot water and dishsoap to remove the dirt and dried fat/ligaments, and foolishly I did this without gloves. I had a scratch on my forearm, and I had gotten some of the water on it. I washed up well afterwards, and brought the bones back outside.

I’m aware that I’m most likely 99.9% fine (and paranoid), but it’s bugging me. I’ve read from numerous sources that the virus is difficult to transmit outside a live host, through dried saliva, and can be killed by exposure to sunlight for thirty minutes or even by some detergents.

What is the likelihood I’ve been exposed?

Global Domain International, Scam Or Big Money Maker? – Why You Are Highly Likely to Fail

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Have you looked at the GDI opportunity? Are you a new paid affiliate? Well this article is here to help you. I will help answer: Global Domain International, scam or money maker? And also highlight the pitfalls of many.

On paper GDI offer a very interesting product – Domain names and hosting at a very low price of $10 a month. You may ask yourself why wouldn’t you make an absolute killing with this opportunity? Well let us look at some of the classic issues:

a) Skepticism

b) Is it a pyramid?

c) Is it a scam?

d) Why should we buy a “.WS” I already have “.COM”?

e) Leads are to expensive

f) Don’t know how to market

There are many more.

The 60 day love period – Like most people when you start a new business you are enthusiastic and eager to make a great success of it. In my experience this lasts for approximately 60 days then if it doesn’t start with all the expectations met you start to fall out of love. As humans we do not like rejection, so our natural reaction is to remove the source of the rejection, your new business!

The harsh reality – Lets get real, the odds are stacked against you. The statistics say approximately 97% of network marketers will fail. So don’t take it personal the odds are against you.

The fight or flight response – There are two reactions when you hit the early signs of failure, fight through it or run for the hills. The 97% that I mentioned earlier are the ones that usually run for the hills.

Global Domain International, Scam or Money Maker? From my research there are clearly people in this business that are making good money. Like most Network marketing opportunities if people fail the first thing to do is to shout I have been scammed! In my opinion GDI is not a scam but you need to know how to market the business to stand a remote chance of joining the elite 3% that succeed.

How not to fail – First of all do not give up! Secondly change the way you think. Let us assume you get 10 leads and only 1 joins you that is $10 income. So instead of saying I get 9 rejections to make just 1 sale look at it this way: You got paid $1 per lead! Big difference.

Now let me get a bit more specific. You need to learn how to market and generate your own leads. Buying leads is too expensive and not effective. Also you need to know how to make commission on leads that say no. You can do this the easy or hard way. The hard way is to create your own custom leads system or alternatively you can investigate a proven leads system that will allow you and more importantly your down line system to duplicate.

This article was put together to answer the question: global domain international, scam or money maker? And explain why most network marketers fail. Take the advice in this article to help you make a success of your business.

To your success.
