I thought you might like to know about another facet of me and my business experience.  I have three passions in my life.  1 is helping people build their wealth, 2 is helping people build their body or build their wellness/level of health and 3 is my favorite genre of music.  This last item is what I want to address here today.  I grew up just ga-ga for piano music.  Well it gets worse…I loved Razza-Ma-Tazz, honky tonk, and ragtime piano music.  I learned later that ragtime is actually a classical music form designed by Scott Joplin.  But I also love what was popular music of the ragtime era, most of which did not follow the classical form of actual ragtime but still has that raggedy rhythm found in ragtime and early jazz.

So the musical niche that I found most easily floated my boat was the 1890’s, the 1900’s the teens, and twenties popular music as heard on player piano rolls.  This same music was also found on Nickelodeons, or coin operated player pianos (the earliest juke boxes) as well as the larger orchestrions and carousel organs which were found in larger restaurants, dance halls and at fairgrounds next to a carousel.  So now you KNOW how weird I am.  But you should know why I love this stuff—-

It is the happiest music in the world.

If you are down or blue, you don’t need a prozac, just listen to a nickelodeon play a happy tune.  Here is a video of one of the instruments I recently restored all the pneumatic playing systems on.  It is a miniature orchestrion.  That term refers to a mechanically played orchestra and some of them got quite large and played 8 or 10 different instruments.  This little Seeburg KT plays a small piano, flute pipes like those found in a pipe organ, as well as a tambourine, triangle, and castanets.  There are extra holes in this special G-roll that play those extra instruments beyond what a home style player piano would do.

I also have a video of a home style player piano that I restored and sold a couple years ago and on this one I give you a tour of the piano.  I pedal it by foot and I play it a while by electric motor.  These instruments were extremely popular for the trendy home to have and did not originally play electrically since most middle class homes did not have many electric appliances until the 1920’s and 30’s. Most of the rolls have words printed so you can sing along. Can you say 1920 Karaoke? It is the life of every party!

You can see my player piano restoration shop here. I know you probably won’t ever need my services on your Grandma’s player piano but you might like to know I am there with a large shop with people rebuilding pieces of musical history.  There are very few of us left doing this these days and I know of at least 6 rebuilders in this country who went out of business in the last two years.  Finding nicely restored automatic music machines like these is now, indeed, a rare thing.  Even in this bad economy there are people still having Grandma’s treasured player piano or Grandpa’s Orchestrion restored and I have one of the last shops that can do that in America.

I also have around 100 of these instruments stored for future restoration, so one of the reasons my other passion is wellness, is I plan to be around for the next 100 years to restore all of them.  The amazing wellness products I have used for the last 6 years are found to keep the cells vibrant and young.  I would never be without my Optimal Support Packs each day if I want to see the next 100 years.  Sometime I will go into what I do to stay well.  Meanwhile click and listen to the happiest music in the world and throughout our musical history.

Howdy, and welcome to Doug L. Bullock’s downsizing solution blog.  I am here to help folks struggling in this horrendous economy to improve their lives. Many people in the last year have had their CEO come to them and say, “Your position is no longer needed.”  or “We can no longer afford to pay you.”  Isn’t that just the worst day of your life?  That means looking for a job in an economy that has precious few of those.  That means you may have to sell the car for a cheaper model, sell the house for a cheaper model— all in an environ that has many others doing the same thing.  The prices for houses have spiraled down making the whole economy worse.  Well you know about all that.

I am here to help make that better.  I will help you become your own CEO.  You can never be laid off, fired or canned if YOU are the CEO.  That also means you must have a home based business.  You don’t need an office in a high rise paying ridiculous rents unless you just want to do that.  You don’t have to hire hundreds of people and herd cats like your former CEO did, you can hire no one but yourself and still make a growing income.

How about working with a turnkey partner company that is on the NASDAQ that has been in business for over 15 years and pays more to its associates than any other company in its field… $800 Million so far?   How about a business that will allow you to run a global business from your laptop?  I don’t even know how many countries we are in because we are adding them so fast.  Just this month we added Sweden, Netherlands, and Norway.  These added to 12 or 15 others including Japan, Korea,Taiwan,Australia, NewZealand, Britain, Canada, Germany.  As CEO of a global business you could say the sun never sets on your home based business.

So how much can you make?  That, of course is up to you.  A few hundred per month or six figures per month.  Those and all amounts in between are being made by our associates.  That is a really beneficial turnkey partnership.

Well how about partnering with a company that is riding the crest of the wave of the soon to be trillion dollar wellness industry.  I am not talking about some fly by night, magic berry juice.  This company has the only major cutting-edge science-based organic whole food-sourced nutritional products in the world that actually improve your overall general health in noticeable, sometimes AMAZING and awesome ways.

I have been a mere consumer of these products for 6 years now and you could not pay me enough to stop using such high quality, life improving products.  I feel great, I look and feel younger.  I get to help other people feel this great and I get paid very well to do it.  GEE What a great thing being my own CEO and partnering  with such an important company.  Well now for a very limited time an introductory offer allows me to set you up to earn $3300 in the first 30 days.  I know this can’t last for much longer, because it has been revamped for global roll out next month.  But this offer has been taken by so many people the company has expanded its base by thousands and thousands of people.  Many of these people received their $3300 and some even earned a resort vacation trip for doing so.  That trip was also limited time and is no longer available but so many people earned their cash and achieved the incentive vacation that they had to double the time reserved at one resort and then they had to scramble to find a second resort to send folks to.

Don’t feel bad about missing this,  there will be more incentives in future and the $3300 is still on the table for now.

My point?  Thousands of people joined, built a business, and got their checks for $3300 and believe me that money helps you start a business.

Well this fast start cash idea will be going worldwide next month and you will be able to market worldwide with our new internet marketing policies.  They will not be able to keep the $3300 for global use, there will be a lower number to insure viability of the worldwide incentive for business building.  But fast start will be as big a success around the world as it has been in US, Canada and South Africa.  We have people in South Africa who went from making a few hundred dollars in a year to making $3300 in one month.  At first they did not believe it but then they got into it and have built successful businesses that put them at the top rung of their community’s businessmen and women.

It is time for you to opt out of this depression and you know it really is a depression.  Become your own CEO and make as much or more money than you did at that job you left or want to leave soon.  I am here to help.  Let me know what you think.
