Dreamosophy Returns / Usefulness, Diversity and Stability

What better day than New Year's Day to return to Dreamosophy. We can all start the year with a clean slate with the hope of more prosperity and hey, why not hope for world peace too? After all, this is Dreamosophy. The special projects are finally done and I want to thank all those who sent me emails and letters asking about my return. I apologize to the Dreamosophy readership for forgetting to tell you about the break I had to take in order to keep the content and writing at its highest... Sign in to see full entry.

Dreamosophy To Return Soon

Everyone has been asking us [here at Al-Mita Marketing] where Buckboyy has been and why he hasn't been working on his business blog, Dreamosophy. Many thought we scrapped the idea of sponsoring Dreamosophy and allowing him time to work on his entertaining and informative idea. This certainly couldn't have been further from the truth. Buckboyy simply forgot to inform his audience of some other projects that were already in the works before Dreamosophy was ever started. Before the grapevine gets... Sign in to see full entry.

Survey Suspicions

Survey Suspicions I like doing surveys and thought I could make some money at it. I joined a survey group and followed the directions to a tee. I signed up at about 15 different survey companies. I filled out all the profile and personal surveys they threw at me. After a couple of months I realized I wasn't making squat. What went wrong? First of all, many of the sites I was signed up at only paid out in prizes and sweepstakes. The prizes were rarely money. Sure, some things are nice, but they... Sign in to see full entry.

If Only I Was Perfect...

If only I was perfect, that car accident would have never happened and my insurance premiums wouldn't have increased, nor would I have lost all that time and money from work. The passengers in the other car wouldn't have been injured. I also wouldn't have gotten a ticket or a hefty fine. At least I hadn't been drinking! If only I was perfect, I would have never lost my job last year and would have been promoted instead of layed-off. Then I wouldn't be so far behind on my bills and I probably...

The Chosen One

Author's Note: I always felt that I was the chosen one; the special one of my relatives to form a very successful business to enrich all their lives and protect them. Why did I feel that way? I was never quite sure, it was just something I knew from the powers above. Then about six months ago, I had a dream that brought me some answers to this revelation. Not being able to write about it, I put it into poetry. Dedication: to my father - the most loving person I know! The Chosen One I actually... Sign in to see full entry.

Multi-tasking Creates Slop

I think it's time that someone speaks out about multi-tasking!! And someone finally has! Thank you Glen Hopkins, internet marketing guru. At 53, multi-tasking is a relatively new term for me. I started seeing it in the late 80's and by the mid 90's it was everywhere. By then, I had to change jobs several times (and careers) and I kept seeing the phrase, "multi-tasking is a must," in all the help-wanted ads. This phrase went perfect with "fast-paced environment," just another sign of our [no time... Sign in to see full entry.

Dreaming to Success and Happiness

Every time I got a money-making idea, someone in my family would shoot holes in it, or one of my close friends would criticize it to death and I would watch my dream fly right out the window. Of course, they meant well - but after so many lectures about how everyone is after your money and how much work and cost owning your own business is, well you know, you just get tired of hearing it and pretty soon you stop coming up with ideas and you continue your business-as-usual life by staying on the...

Are Alternative Methods of Conception Immoral?

I'm writing this post in response to Decshak's post about her surprise to hearing the topic of alternative methods of conception being immoral. I'm not sure which side I support on this issue, but an argument exits from several different points of view. There is society's view of what is best for all, a secular view of religous doctrine and a naturalist view of disturbing nature. To view this problem from a social standpoint, alternative methods of conception often uses a large amount of... Sign in to see full entry.

Brainstorming for Creativity

A few months ago my friend, Martin, told me his bakery business was floating down a dead river. I asked him what he meant by that and he just sort of shrugged his shoulders and said business was staying the same - no better or no worse. Then he told me that he didn't even pick-up one single account last month and this month was just as drab. Next, he mentioned how some of the competition was actually doing better. I was surprised to find out that there was still another family owned bakery in... Sign in to see full entry.

Money vs Friends

Is your money worth more than your friends? Do we really need friends to run or be successful in our business? When asking those questions we can't forget the advice from the old school of thought, like my old business professor who said, "Never go into business with your friends – it's the fastest way to lose them." I must agree with him, because over the years I've witnessed it first-hand, a ridiculous squabble between some of my own friends. The same warning can be given for loaning money to...

A Dreamosophy Website Review

Editors Note: Buckboyy, Al-Mita Marketing's business writer and creator of their business blog, Dreamosophy, has decided to try something different by writing reviews on various internet marketing websites that he has labeled as "innovative and unique." For a more unbiased review, the one thing I insisted on is that there can be no referral ID attached to the link. Despite his critical view on competitive sites, I did find Buckboyy's first review to be very informative and one might even say,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Stressful Move Uncovers Healthcare Mystery

My wife and I had just moved a month ago and ever since then, we have been unpacking boxes, trying to get re-organized. It was a Friday night when I realized that I had forgot to give our heath insurance company our new address. On Monday morning I made sure to call them early so I could get the task done and then I could call the other 6 places that I also forgot to give our new address to. After being transfered to 3 different departments, I knew this 5 minute job was going to turn into a one... Sign in to see full entry.

The Outernet, Our Rights and Politics

When will the US stop selling out all of its citizens liberties? If you don't think our liberties are being squandered away by the politicians we have been electing, think about the last 30 years and what has changed. Many of these changes were conjured up as appeasements to special interest groups and foreign leaders to win their support on domestic and foreign policies. That is just the begining of what I call being captured by the outernet. The outernet is made up of the many negative outside... Sign in to see full entry.

Solving Problem X

Last week, Al-Mita Marketing's Dreamosophy columnist was hit with a flurry of questions from various businesses about solving problems in the work place. The strange thing is, these questions came from equal footing across the board. Both large and small businesses from online and offline entities are in the queue, wanting the latest skinny on problem-solving techniques. Since I have no connection to Ann Landers or Dear Abbey for advice on such a subjective topic [problem-solving], this took... Sign in to see full entry.
