It’s been a looooong time!

Posted on by Sandy

Hey Grrls!

OK – I suck. Yes, it’s true, I know. I not only have a fantastic interview podcast that is still 1/2 edited, but I haven’t even posted in the blog. Bad me. Bad bad me.

As ya’ll know, I’ve been trying to replace my law firm income with SendOutCards. I have also been to 2 conventions (eWomenNetwork, and the SendOutCards convention), plus I was on ABC again (link, next blog). But it’s the first that’s really the culprit.

If you’re going to change the way that you make your $, sometimes, other things suffer. It wasn’t going to be my relationship with my James – so (pitiful sigh) it’s my relationship with ya’ll. Forgive me?

I am actually a little amazed to report that last month, my SOC income was more than my law firm income! Yes! People are so interested in this system. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about, go to YourCardShark.com and send a card on me – or listen to the podcast about it and then go try it out.)

AND – talk about Beach Money (again, go check out that last podcast…) we’re on our way to Hawaii, so I’m crammin’ in work so I can play!

I miss you guys, that’s the truth. I’ve gotten a number of emails and such – book is selling well, thanks – and the SendOutCards is going REALLY well!

I’m going to try to get out about 4 blog postings today, and then be as better-as-I-can when we get back from our holiday. But until then – I apologize, ya’ll rock, and keep it up! Don’t stop readin’ and listenin’ – I’d miss you!

Quantum of Solace Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko practices her stunts (Yahoo! video link)

Posted on by Sandy

Thought I’d share a video from Yahoo of the Bond Girl for the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace, coming out on November 17th.  As I’m busily trying to get things/businesses/pets/James (smile) ready for my imminent departure for Dallas, no pithy blogging here – just the link. Olga Kurylenko is Camille, training for her stunts in the movie. I just love video like this, the “behind the scenes” stuff. Have a look!

FemDefence: A Protection Against Rape

Posted on by Sandy

femdefense productThis is from the Femdefense website:

“Femdefence is an on-going project first presented in 2003. The project includes the creation of an imaginary product, which bears the project’s name. The product is a kind of protection against rape, somewhat similar to a tampon in that its user carries it inserted into her vagina. In it there is a sharp pin which has a penetrating effect on the perpetrator’s penis in the event of a rape. The construction is such that the pin cannot injure the bearer. The design is based on a similar construction invented by a Swedish woman named Anita Ingmarsdotter. She came to work on her invention after a series of rape cases in Sweden that received a lot of public attention. Typically, in many of these cases, the accused do not receive an adequate punishment, and the abused women are left without appropriate support from the judicial system. All too often they, in the perpetrators’ place, are burdened with guilt.”

Yee-owch…

Podcast 11: Listener Feedback and a Chat about Cashflow

Posted on by Sandy

Secret Agent VHello! I know, it’s been quite some time since I did a regular podcast. Amazingly, this is my 35th podcast, but that includes the hynotherapy podcasts, interviews, vodcasts, etc. So I am calling this “Podcast 11” since it’s the 11th one where it’s me, just me…

The picture at left is Special Agent V and her sexy James. They live in Switzerland, as you will hear, and are planning a round-the-world trip! Special Agent V asked for tips on looking Bond Girlish (not schlumpy) when living for nine months out of one suitcase. If you’re curious, she found BeABondGirl.com this way:

“I was home sick in bed for 4 days and I am a fan of James Bond (I have the whole collection on DVD ). Since I was already in bed with my laptop surfing endlessly, I was wondering what exactly the Bond Girl names were and to know if they had a character story beyond what you see in the films. I started my search and found you online. And then loaded up a podcast… and yeah, got hooked. Better than knowing a Bond Girl is to be one yourself ;-)”

Secret Agent V and I had a long-running email tail about how, and what, to pack for her trip, which I go into in abbreviated fashion on this podcast. I also had an email from – Mr. Bond himself! Yes, I did… though it might not be what you think!

Next, here is the information from “Mr. Bond” on his venture into podcasting – it is Episode 33 on the Nursing Show blog, and if you click here, it will take you to it.  Mr. Bond is interviewed on being an E.R. Nurse after being an EMT/Paramedic for over a decade (his interview is actually at the 12:30 mark). What a great podcast! It’s amazing, there are podcasts for everything…with great resources, articles and links.  This is a super one! Go Bond… Paul Bond!

Rich Dad Poor Dad

Finally, this BABG podcast deals with how we Bond Girls make our money. Using Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Kiyosaki as a template, we discuss the differences between being an employee, self-employed, a business, and an investor, and how being a “real” business (versus being self-employed, which is just being an employee, with yourself as your boss, janitor, marketer, bill collectoBeach Money by Jordan Adlerr, and chief bottle washer!) can ultimately lead you to the cashflow upon which to retire.

As part of discussing cashflow and business, I talk quite a bit about network marketing and my experiences with many such companies, including my current one, SendOutCards.com. Because I really believe in networking marketing as a way to control your destiny money-wise, I am offering anyone who writes to me a copy of Beach Money by Jordan Adler. If you’d like a copy, listen to the podcast and let me send you one!

Please let me know if you would like more on wealth-building or any other topics. I will likely talk a bit more about finances, wealth creation, and the like in the next few podcasts, but my subjects are really guided by what you’d like to hear. So speak up – don’t be shy!

As I noted in the podcast, unfortunately I have lost my previous call-in line. Yes, it happens to the best of us. The New Number for Listener Feedback is 206-350-1867.  You can now reach me both on doubleohsandy [at] yahoo [dot] com (which comes to my Blackberry), or sandy [at] BeABondGirl [dot] com, my new direct email address.  Finally, you can always Comment below. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I look forward to hearing from you!
