Intermission for Lucid Dreaming

Lucid dreaming is the act of taking control of your dreams to change the world around you and enjoy living out a virtual sort of fantasy within your head. Even the best virtual reality programming is still hundreds of years behind the brain's own ability to create realities both wonderful and mysterious. We spend around one third of our lives asleep. Imagine living an adventure in paradise a third of your life from here on out with our program.

Quantum Mechanics + Astral Projection = Regained Youth

from Astralprojectioneasy.com

You and your body exist here in the physical universe but if you follow quantum mechanics, you might also know that the atoms that make up your body phase into and out of the physical plane all the time. In fact those quantum size particles are phasing into astral space and back into the physical universe. Astral space exists all around us and in us as well and we are all continually traveling into and out of the astral plane. This is just normal life.

Now I’ll add the Akashic Records into our discussion. These records are astral files that contain all the knowledge and events for each person who has ever lived and who will ever live. The Akashic Records reside in astral space but they surround each person. The Akashic Records pertaining to you extend outwards from you in all directions into the astral plane like a shadow cast out from the light within you.

Astral Projection With Isochronic Tones

Since time does not exist in the astral plane, the previous and future portions of your existence are in a mixed pool around you – and you can astral travel to any portion of your life to visit or revisit. You can also enter your previous or future body and absorb the thoughts and memories that your past or future self is experiencing. That ability alone is an interesting astral adventure but it brings an epiphany. ‘Co-existing for longer periods in a former incarnation of myself brings a return to youthfulness!’

Studies of The Law of Attraction have leading scholars of the subject believing manifestation is rooted in Quantum Physics, a realm where everything is possible and the Newtonian laws of physics no longer apply. The brain itself has been proven to be a quantum computer, so the theory does hold water. And studies of positive thinking and the Law of Attraction has seen thousands of people to change their lives for the better. To put it simply, "positive in the mind, positive in the world - negative in the mind, negative in the world."

The cells of your body are constantly in flux. They are continuously being replaced AND they are blinking back and forth into the astral plane. In pure theory, a body should never age at all because the cells are constantly being replaced – so why do we age? Medical science doesn’t know how to answer that question yet. So might I suggest that we grow old because when our DNA phases into astral space, it does not come back exactly as it was before it left?

If aging is the result of DNA randomly phasing back into the physical universe from astral space, then could reverse aging occur if the DNA from a previous time were focused back instead? I still go astral projecting as I enjoy but when I’m ready for sleep I don’t just go back to my normal physical form. Instead, I’ve chosen a period in my life when I feel that my age was ideal. I astral project into my own body – in that time period – and I sleep there. I’m supposing what with my astral projected self in that time that the DNA from that time may tend to go and infuse my physical body with renewed youthfulness. At least it doesn’t hurt to make an attempt and I find that sleeping in my younger self is pleasurable too.

Cracking the Biologic Code of Cancer

Author: Charlie Schwengel, DO, DO(H)

Cancer Does Not “Strike” at Random.

The Appearance of Cancer Always Has a Reason and a Cause.

We live in natural bodies. The development, growth and appearance of the tumors that become diagnosed as “cancer” is a natural process; it is not random or malicious act of Nature. In reality, in almost all cases of cancer the real causes have very little to do with the common risk factors we all know about.

The real cause of cancer – that single, most important factor that first activates and causes cancer cells to start to grow in our bodies is actually based on the patterns of our emotional responses to many of life’s common stressors.

Everyone is familiar with many of the common risk factors that can predispose him or her to developing cancer. Factors under our direct control include lifestyle choices such as smoking, excessive alcohol use, the quality, and caliber of our dietary choices, and too much sunlight exposure without adequate protection. Factors that are out of our control include toxins in the environment such as air and water pollution, and of course genetics, or a family history of cancer.

But these are almost never the bottom-line “causes” of cancer. It is the physical reactions to stressors in our subconscious minds that trigger the biologic changes in our bodies that actually cause cancer cells to start to grow.

The Biologic Code of Cancer

Tumors never appear randomly in the body – there are very specific reasons that cause tumors to grow where they do. The body always grows tumors in direct response to life’s stressors in specific places and for specific reasons. This is the “Biologic Code of Cancer”.

We all feel a wide range of emotions that always flow throughout the body constantly, all the time. That flow of emotions is normally free and unrestricted. We feel emotions every day that don’t necessarily become health problems. The mind and body can easily cope with them. The body tends to “hold” certain emotions in specific organs in the body. Some examples are: love, joy, and happiness are held in the heart; the love and nurturing of a mother for her husband and children are held in her bosom.

When we experience a sudden shock to our emotions that is unexpected, severe, and devastating, it is a real trauma to the emotional system and the natural flow of emotional energy becomes blocked. Our minds interpret this blockage of energy flow as a “Biological Conflict” and our bodies begin to grow tumors in specific organs and tissues.

For example, deep-seated feelings of anger, which often manifest as a locked-up ability to give and receive love, reside in the liver. Feelings of fear, abandonment, and rejection are held in the kidneys. Being unable to accept that one has been somehow betrayed is often held in the stomach and colon areas. Issues involving stresses with family members affect the pancreas. Virtually all the emotions we experience have a place in the body where they are centered.

Biological Conflict is a state of reaction to emotional trauma that causes our bodies to immediately begin to grow more cells in the affected organ to help deal with the emotional trauma.

These new growths quickly become the tumors that we call “cancer”. This is actually an effort by the mind to make that organ more capable of coping with the stress related to the trauma. Before long, the new growth can become out of control and find other places to grow. So, the bottom-line reality is that cancer is a natural response of the body to an unnatural stress.

Cracking the Biologic Code of Cancer

Traditional medicine tells us that cancer should be treated as an invader, an enemy to be fought against and if one is really lucky, ultimately conquered. We must go in and aggressively “fight the cancer”. We must use treatments like chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy to kill and eliminate cancer cells as fast as possible. The prevailing theory is the more we fight the cancer the better.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Metaphysical Info Break - Your Positive Mind

What is the secret to uncovering deep inner beauty that radiates outward? The answer to be surprisingly simple. Since 90% of happiness comes from within and can be generated without external forces, it seems the true problem of people being unhappy isn't generated in the world around them, but rather in their own minds. And as we interact with others the very act of making others happy within your own mind can give you exactly what you need to start bettering the lives of those around you.

When the causes of the biological conflict are identified and explained the patient can then deal with them. The moment the biological conflict is found and released the body will no longer “need” to grow cancer cells and will immediately begin to heal itself – naturally.

The key is to reverse the effects of the emotional trauma and let the emotions start flowing again. It’s releasing the emotion associated with the trauma that removes the cause of the cancer and allows healing to move forward.

Experienced practitioners who understand how to use computerized biofeedback systems can help reveal the nature of the underlying Biologic Conflicts. They can also help determine if the conflicts are still active or if they may have already moved into the healing phase.

The causes of cancer must be treated for lasting health. Otherwise, regardless of what treatments are used to “fight the cancer”, the Biologic Conflicts remain alive, and the body will continue to look for new places to grow cancer. This is the reason behind the vast majority of spreading and recurrences, or incomplete healing of cancer after traditional medical treatment.

Really?

Our experience shows that in almost all cases (over 140,000 case studies strong) that when the emotional blocks are released, the biologic conflicts can be resolved then the cancer goes into reverse mode and the body will begin to heal itself.

This is based on the scientific research work of Dr. Ryke Hamer, a German physician and oncologist who had a success rate for stage 4, mostly “terminal” cancer patients of over 90% using these principles.

To be truly meaningful a treatment program for cancer must begin with “cracking the biologic code of cancer” – finding and releasing the underlying Biologic Conflict that drives tumor growth in the first place.

The Globalization of Financial Services

Author: CDC_pivotal_CRM

The Globalization of Financial Services

How CRM can help you stay ahead of the curve. As businesses are getting bigger, the world’s feeling smaller—but certainly not simpler. To ensure bigger is actually better, financial services firms should leverage client relationship management to maximize the opportunities and minimize the growing pains of the global business reality.

Today’s business environment is increasingly global. Few firms are completely immune to the effects of globalization—even if you’re not operating globally in a direct sense, there’s a good chance that some of your customers are, not to mention your competition. Add
global outsourcing into the mix, and the fact that money is flowing more freely across borders and currencies, and it’s clear that business is linked across the globe like never before, especially in a leading-edge industry such as financial services.

Unfortunately, just because business is global doesn’t mean it is seamless. In fact, as businesses have globalized, acquiring and merging and expanding in multiple directions, it’s possible that as many new challenges have been introduced as advantages. While strides are being made, many firms are still some distance from attaining their ultimate global vision. With a dizzying array of global stakeholders to please and issues to tackle, it’s easy to lose sight of the enduring center of the business universe: the customer. Client relationship management may not be at the top of every firm’s globalization projects, but it should be. Not only can effective CRM deployment alleviate some of the pains of globalization—it can also heighten its benefits.

Global Companies Need Global Perspective
Technology is simultaneously a stumbling block and an enabler in achieving global goals. As different regions and firms come together, they bring with them a confusing assortment of incompatible legacy systems and processes. This multiplies the number of data silos across the company dramatically, making it harder than ever to get a clear picture of any aspect of the business. The problem is that the more global the company, the more critical the need for this comprehensive view. While global markets and economies are interconnected, they are also unique—a downturn in one region may be offset by a boom in another one, for example. To take advantage of this diversity for the greater health of the firm, executives need to be able to make informed decisions based on accurate, complete data at both the macro- and micro-levels, spotting and pursuing global and regional opportunities and allocating budgets and resources accordingly.

Seizing the Opportunities
When it comes to customers, a meaningful and thorough view is essential to understanding the global picture and identifying its opportunities. One arm of the firm may have customer intelligence, but if other parts of the firm are entirely unaware of it, the value to the firm as a whole is severely limited. Similarly, the same company or individual may be a low-value customer to one part of a financial services firm but a tier-1 customer to another part of the firm. If the firm’s employees are unaware of the other relationships, they may unwittingly place the business relationship in jeopardy by failing to deliver a sufficient level of service in
one area. At the same time, they may miss out on an opportunity to deepen the value of the customer relationship in the underperforming area. Smart financial services firms can use globalization to get closer to their customers and increase their loyalty and profitability.
Breaking down data silos by deploying CRM systems that span the globe and different lines
of business, they can aggregate customer and prospect data to significantly increase market intelligence worldwide. With an in-depth global view of customer relationships, a firm can see and leverage existing regional or business-line relationships to establish new relationships in additional regions or business lines. Meanwhile, executives at the top level can get a true picture of the value of a customer to the firm—not one fragmented across regions and lines of business.

As a company expands globally, economies of scale should ideally be created. Unfortunately, the reality is that just as often, it creates redundancies, overlap, and counterproductive efforts, all because the right hand can’t see what the left hand is doing. Companies can wind up sending mixed messages to customers and prospects and taking actions that are at odds with each other, such as overlapping sales calls into the same
accounts for different products or regions. This is not only embarrassing and inefficient—it puts business and brand integrity at risk. The companies that will benefit most from the global business environment are those that learn to break down barriers. Fighting tendencies towards territoriality, they will implement a corporate culture and supporting systems that promote collaboration, not competition. Teams that are able to easily identify and leverage knowledge, skills, and relationships in other geographies and lines of business will have greater success up-selling, crossselling, and deepening their value to and connection with their customers. This is only truly possible, however, with a CRM infrastructure that provides a holistic global view, a thorough record of all customer interactions—worldwide and across business lines—and workflow tools that promote consistent, collaborative account activity.

Think Globally, Act Locally 

If this sounds almost too good to be true, it’s because it may appear to paint too homogeneous a picture of worldwide business dealings. But in fact, the ability to
support heterogeneity is fundamental to the success of a global vision. Beyond the obvious technical challenges of infrastructure and integration, the problem with trying to unify and standardize across regions and lines of business is that there are significant—and important—differences in the ways disparate regions and lines of business operate. From language to currency to regulatory requirements to cultural nuance, total uniformity is impossible and would in fact put the company at a disadvantage. In addition, some customer information that is necessary to one part of the organization is unethical to share outside of that
group.

For this reason, flexibility is perhaps the most critical factor in implementing global IT systems. When looking to share data and support workflows and processes, financial services firms need to look for systems that can model regional and business-line differences while still promoting transparency, collaboration, and aggregation. The ability to support different currencies and languages is imperative, but so is the ability to implement Chinese walls, support different regulatory requirements and sales processes, and protect client privacy. Without this flexibility, firms risk implementing systems that achieve buy-in in some regions or lines of business but total rejection in others, counteracting the potential benefits of
a holistic view.
The global view always needs to be accompanied by the local view. It needs to facilitate global insight for executives at the top level but also day-to-day local actions by individual staff members. Local relevance and sensitivity will be the ultimate determinants of broad user adoption.

World-Wide and World-Wise

The size and complexity of global business can be mind-boggling, but the fundamentals remain the same. On the global level, as on the local one, knowledge is power and the customer reigns supreme. Understanding how to scale these concepts to the global level and take advantage of the inherent opportunities is critical to maximizing the benefits of this new business reality. But don’t let the magnitude of global business fool you: at its heart, global business is still all about individual customers and your relationships with them. Keep your focus on this, and the world’s your oyster.

Empower Yourself With the Here and Now: End Your Mental Suffering with Spiritual Enlightenment

Author: drpuff808

Life is in constant flux: people and jobs come and go, we learn new things while forgetting the old, and different events take place. Our lives and views change. A seventeen-year-old boy might believe popularity is of crucial importance, whereas a sixty-seven-year-old man might believe that having a connection with God is what matters most. Nothing stays the same.  The only thing we know for sure is that we are, right now.

It’s All A Dream

It’s a possibility that what we are experiencing right now might not even be real. Even Hollywood has caught on; many movies such as The Matrix explore this fact.

What we are experiencing as life could be a very long dream that we’re having in a different form from a different being, in a different universe. But the experience of the dreamer is real in the sense that we are, right now, experiencing this thing called life. That’s the only thing we’re absolutely sure of knowing.

The True Reality Is That We Are

Anything that changes can ultimately not be the true reality. The only thing that is, is that we are, right now. How do we live as spiritual, enlightened beings, given that the only thing we can be assured of is that we are, right now?

It’s actually very simple. If we see life as an extended dream, then we can say that events, experiences, and memories are there and we can participate in them, but we won’t suffer by overly dwelling in them.  It’s similar to watching a movie.  We could suffer, forgetting that we’re just watching a movie. However, the truth is that the only thing that we ultimately are is a witness to the movie. Once we know this, we can relax and spend more time in identifying with who we are. We are the witness to what is happening.

Once we say “we are this” or “we are that” and we give labels to ourselves, we have moved away from awareness.  If we stop identifying with labels that follow “we are,” then when events occur, whether good or bad, whether desires or fears, we won’t create stories to go along with these experiences and we will stop suffering.  In pure awareness, there is no suffering because there is no mental commentary. We still experience pain and pleasure, but we’re not creating stories to accompany those events.  We don’t fight or resist them, so we don’t suffer and they can pass quickly. 

Be Present and Be Free From Suffering

We don’t have to suffer. All that we have to do is be in the present moment. It’s actually very beautiful and freeing.  Right now, whatever we’re doing, we’re doing that 100%. Yes, our minds will continue to drift back to wanting to worry and create stories about past events, but we’ll realize that the only thing we can do and the only thing that’s real is right here and right now, and we can be the witness to that.  We’re being present with what is, whether it’s time with our friends, a walk, or watching a sunset. Once we’re 100% present with what is, life can flow well. We will have new adventures and experiences, but what we won’t have are all the mental stories that cause us to suffer. We won’t attach to anything because we realize that it isn’t real.

All that is real is right here and right now. When our mind, which causes all our suffering, continues to push stories into our head, we say, “You’re not really real. The only thing that’s real is right here and right now.”  If we get back to the here and now, and realize that everything in our heads we’re creating isn’t ultimately even real, then we know that it’s pointless to participate in it. Why believe in it? If we reach this point, then perhaps all that we identify with can disappear and we realize that we just are.  Pure awareness and spiritual enlightenment is about freedom from everything we think we are and living in pure being-ness. It’s about being free.

New Age Technology for an Old Age Problem

Music to Grow Young Again

Do you like listening to popular tunes from when you were young?  Doesn’t it take you back to when you were carefree, pain free and joyful?  Most of us over a certain age wish we could be young again.  Well, regaining your youth is possible by listening to some special music.  William Congreve wrote in 1697: “Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak”.  He could not have known how prophetic his words would become 300 years later.

The music I’m talking about is a relatively new technological breakthrough called binaural entrainment.  The science and history of binaural entrainment is fairly complex and wide-ranging.  I’ll only be touching on the highpoints and giving a brief overview because as with many revolutionary innovations, the most important information people want to know is ‘Does it work?’

Binaural Music

In a nutshell, binaural music means almost the same as stereo.  Interestingly enough though, binaural has actually been around longer than stereo has.  In the 1920’s stereo radio had not been invented yet but one radio station actually achieved binaural broadcasting by transmitting programming for the right ear on one frequency and for the left on another.

By a dictionary definition, entrain means to ‘sweep along with a flow and to bring consequence’.  And a biological synonym for entrainment is biomusicology.  Organisms become synchronized to external rhythms.  An easy example of musical entrainment is when you find yourself tapping your toe to catchy tune.  Your body has been entrained by the beat.

But toe-tapping doesn’t make a person grow young again, so we have to cover a bit more science.  Binaural music has separate tracks intended for each ear and a resonance is created in the organic brain as it attempts to synchronize with two differing tones.  Thusly, a person’s level of mental awareness and their brainwave activity can be manipulated, but comfortably so, to a particular state as readable on an encephalograph.

HGH and Grow Young

Now we’ll add more exciting youth regaining science to what we’ve covered so far.  Perhaps you’ve already heard of HGH (Human Growth Hormone).  HGH is a protein based peptide hormone that stimulates cell reproduction and regeneration and it is produced in the brain.  There is some medical controversy regarding GH and HGH but some of the derision relates to the use of HGH derived from animal sources and cadavers (yuk!)  Binaural music can stimulate the brain to produce more HGH.

I know that you can find many HGH supplements or injections are available.  But for my own preference, (and especially with that disturbing cadaver detail lurking in my mind), I’d rather only use HGH that my own body produces.  And over the much longer term of regaining youth and remaining youthful I think it’s best to simply ensure my own pituitary gland is capable of fully satisfying my body’s HGH requirements.  Binaural music technology will suffice.

I do find this technology and science exciting but I have to stress that it only as PART of regaining youth.  The body is only one third of the body, spirit, mind triad entity that you are and believe it or not, the other two elements contribute to the aging process just as much as the body does.  Yes.  Producing more HGH will certainly assist the body in growing younger but the body is still fighting a loosing battle against age until the mind and spirit come onboard too.  I’ll cover these in further articles.

For now, I do recommend you start your own HGH supplement production by using a binaural music HGH download.  Watch for my upcoming articles on mind and spirit immortality.

How To Start An Online Clothing Store In 12 Steps

Author: Teri Estrada

This article is meant to be a very rough outline in the process of starting up an e-commerce based clothing store or boutique. In the high-paced and competitive world of fashion retail setting up your store is just the first step and quite honestly has little bearing on how successful your store will actually be. For example, Bluefly.com has an estimated monthly traffic of 840K, but since going public in 1998 has never made a single year of profit. As of December 31, 2009, Bluefly has an accumulated deficit of $147,468,000. Your guess on how they remain in business is as good as mine, but think of it this way. Even if you only make $1.00 of profit your first year of business, then you are technically doing better than Bluefly.

Please note, many of these steps can be done concurrently. For example, while you are filing your legal forms, you can work on your web design. This is especially true if you are depending on a third-party to design and set-up your website. They may work on a longer time frame than you initially anticipated. I do highly suggest that you just focus on the business plan initially. For example, if you decide that you are going to design your website with a specific concept while you write your business plan, then you just might find after researching that your concept is not what you’re going to move forward with. In this case, you probably spent 40-60 hours on non-productive output.

1. Write a business plan.To be honest with you, when my girlfriend and I launched our website, we did not have a business plan, but we did write one eventually. The simple fact is that if you are planning for success, then you must write a business plan sooner or later. In business school, you write it sooner than later. The business plan is important because it forces you to do research about the industry, your competitors, and your resources. Additionally, it forces you to think deeply about how you are going to succeed in this highly competitive industry. If you think that you are going to be just like Modcloth, then why would you expect to be successful compared to Modcloth when they are working with millions of dollars of venture capitalist funds for a workforce, marketing, inventory, etc. I don’t have an answer for you, but my point is that you have to come up with a plan before investing your life’s savings into this new venture. Also, the business plan is important because it also forces you to estimate how much money you will need and where that many is coming from. The reality is that unless you have real background in finance, you will not be able to build a 5-10 year projected Discounted Cash Flow Model and figure out your WACC, but having some kind of rough idea of your cash flow is better than nothing.

You should also include a plan on how you are going to initially set-up your website. For example, using a subscription-based shopping cart will change your budget than if you decide to use an open-source shopping cart. Also, you should also do your initial research on web hosting companies since they can range from $10/month to over $300/month. My only suggestion is that you get the fastest and most reliable that your budget will allow. Please note, that all I’m suggesting is that you plan what you are going to do as far as web design and hosting is concerned, not that you go out and pay for these services right now. The only expense that you may want to  consider at this moment is that for registering a domain name. That’s because they are relatively inexpensive to register and you don’t want to possibly miss out on registering your wanted domain.

You should come up with a budget and plan for marketing, public relations, and search engine optimization. These will most likely be your largest expense heading into the future. Remember, buying inventory is not an expense, it is an asset.
Last, but not least, you also want to plan on order fulfillment. This is just a fancy way of saying how you are going to pack and send your product, as well as what return procedure and policy you will have in place. Will you use USPS, UPS, FedEx, or DHL? Will you have free shipping, returns, and/or exchanges? These are all things that should be planned for, though will change over time.

2. Apply for a Employer Identification Number with the IRSOnce again, if you are planning for success in the future, then you are going to have to run your business legally. You will need an EIN to open a bank account, apply for a business license, and get a seller’s permit. Just search “EIN” in the google search engine and the IRS website should be the first result. When applying for your EIN, you will need to know the legal structure of your business. For example, if your business is going to be a one man or woman show, then you are going to apply as a sole proprietor. If it turns out that you and your mom are going to run the business, then you may choose partnership or decide to incorporate.

3. Pick your fictitious business name, “Doing Business As,” and file it with your county clerkOne of the more exciting step in setting up your business will always be picking a name.  My girlfriend and chose T.I.L. Darling because before we were officially a couple, she would tell me that in Thailand, her home country, that she and I could never go out alone as even friends. I told her, “This is London, Darling.” So, I guess our business name should technically be T.I.L., Darling, to be more grammatically correct. Once you have your fictitious business name, you need to make a pretty good attempt to make sure no one else is using that same name. Otherwise, years down the line when you are making money, you can expect a letter from a lawyer saying how they are going to sue the designer pants off of you.

If your county registrar/clerk has a website with downloadable forms, then search for the DBA filing form, fill it out, and bring it to the county clerk. Otherwise, you will just have to do everything in person. There, you will probably have your first business expense with the filing fee. Your second expense will be the requirement that you advertise your new business name in an approved newspaper or public publication so that if anyone has a problem with your DBA then they can step forward. The county clerk will be able to point you in the right direction for this step.

4. Open a business bank accountAgain, planning for future success, you will want to open up a separate bank account for your business. This way, you can track and easily separate business expenses from your personal expenses, write checks or have transactions under your business name, and just generally feel like a real business.

5. Start designing and setting up your websiteThere are actually a few methods of going forward with your website. I will explore a few options starting from the most costly to the least costly. Even though I would have to question whether or not running an online business if for you, but if you have extremely limited experience with web design or are just not internet savvy, then you may need to do everything third-party. If you realize that you’re going to need someone to design your website, initially set-up your domain and site, then you will probably need to find some kind of subscription based shopping cart. For example, if you have money to spend, then search “boutiquecommerce” in the google search engine. This company will do just about everything for you, from web design, domain registration, web hosting, to ongoing support. There are many third-party shopping carts fitting almost any budget. To be honest, I have no experience with any paid or subscription based shopping cart and so I will limit any opinion I have on them.

Another alternative is to buy a website template designed on top of an open-source (free) shopping-cart platform. Search “templatemonster” in the google search engine. Filter your search to include E-Commerce templates and choose “fashion” as your category, though you can customize any template to your needs in reality.

On a side note, before you purchase your template, you should set-up your server. During your business plan research, you should have figured out what web host fits best for you, but now is the time to actually spend some money because you will not be able to test your template unless you have a server to upload it to. This also means that if you haven’t done so already, then you will have to finally register your domain name, which is something you should have also figured out in your business plan. Most web hosts will actually register your domain for free, but feel free to use a service, such as godaddy, and you’ll need to change the namerservers to point to your web host.

Once you have your template and web host, then you need to upload your template and start customizing it. You can either use a “template tuning” service or if you have enough html, php, and photoshop experience, then you can do it yourself. Unfortunately, this step can be pretty difficult even for somewhat internet savvy users because this is where you will need to learn a little bit about setting up a database, setting up a database user, and how to use an FTP program to upload your site. That’s why some may opt to use a third-party shopping cart, but this option is by far the most flexible and cheapest if you have the time and are willing to learn.

You will also need to figure out how you will accept payment on your website. If you want to accept credit cards, which you should, then you will need a payment gateway. The most popular would be Paypal Pro and Authorize.net. You will need to apply for an account.
Of course, there is the ultimate DYI approach, where you can not only design your own website, but also code your own shopping cart. If this is the case, then I highly doubt you need to read this section of my tutorial.

6. Make Business CardsYes, I actually made this an individual step because you will need a business card to register for trade shows, as well as deal with suppliers. Since you are also working on your website design, it is also more efficient to work on a business card design. Additionally, you need some lead time because printers will charge you extra to expedite printing and shipping. So, if you plan ahead, you can save quite a bit of money.

7. Apply for a business license in your cityOnce again, if your city has website dedicated to business, then you should be able to download an application for a business license. In some cities, you can even apply for a home-based business license. Of course, only fill out a home-based business license if that is your case. Bring or even possibly mail your completed application and filing fee to the appropriate location. The reason I put this step after designing your website is because the business license fee is a yearly fee and so why pay when you are not even close to launching your website.

8. Apply for a Seller’s PermitAt this point, you should be fairly proficient at filing out forms. The last application you should have to file is for your seller’s permit, sometimes mistakenly called a resale license. The seller’s permit will allow you to buy from your wholesalers without paying sales tax, but it also requires you to pay the sales tax on any items sold, within your state, every quarter. Of course, in modern commerce, you are allowed to collect the sales tax from your customers.

9. Figure out how you are going to display your productsBefore you actually source your products, I believe it is wise to first figure out how you are going to display your products on your website. Are you going to use a mannequin, model, or just lay it flat. Will you outsource your product photography or do it right in your bedroom, which is how we first started. If you are going to do it yourself, then you still need to make sure it fits your budget and business plan as far as purchasing equipment. If you are going to need equipment, then now is the time to either jump online or go out and start making a real investment in your business.

10. Plan your product mix and find suppliersWhile you are figuring out how you will ultimate display your products, you will want to start researching where you will buy your products. If you haven’t done so, then you will want to start thinking more about your product mix. Of course, it needs to fit perfectly with your business plan, concept, and budget you already established in step 1. Fashion buying is another topic completely and I highly suggest you read up on it if you can.

After you have some kind of buying plan, it’s time to find suppliers. If you are lucky, then you will be able to catch the MAGIC Marketplace trade show in Las Vegas. They have vendors for vintage inspired clothing, juniors clothing, indie clothing, etc. It is essentially the largest fashion trade show in the USA and maybe the world. If you cannot find suppliers at MAGIC, then I would honestly be surprised. If you cannot wait for the bi-annual trade show, then you are most likely going to need to take a trip to the Los Angeles Fashion District. If you are looking for the glamorous world of designer labels, then you will be spending your time at “The Intersection.” At this intersection you will find the California Market Center, Cooper Design Space, Gerry Building, and The New Mart. Here you can find brands such as A.B.S. By Allen Schwartz, BCBG, and Betsey Johnson. If you are in this market, then be sure to bring copies of your business license, business card, and seller’s license. Also, as an online business, be prepared to be rejected by many showrooms. If you’re like me though, then it should only inspire you to be more successful so that when the time comes you can reject them.

If your price point is a lot lower, then you are going to really want to spend time around the San Pedro Mart area. You will probably find that 80-90% of these wholesalers are not right for your target market, but that only means that you should find 10%-20% that is right and will be able to focus on building those relationships into the future.

Of course, you can always turn to the internet, registering with sites like fashiongo and lashowroom. Additionally, you can contact individual brand sales reps and they should send you line sheets and look books. In fact, this is how most business will be later in the future, but I suggest you visit trade shows and marts to get your feet a little wet.

11. Start product photography and adding content to your websiteSince you should have planned earlier for product photography, this step should be self explanatory. You want to add the products to your website and get it ready for a more official launch.

12. Start your marketing campaign, Search Engine Optimization campaign, and PR campaignAgain, these campaigns should have already been planned in the first step. This step is pretty much a hundred different subjects on its own and so I will not really dive to deep into it. The most rudimentary start would be to submit your site to search engines, such as Google and Yahoo!, sign up for Google Adwords, and start a Facebook and Twitter account. There is probably a good chance that will have to depend on paid advertising to get decent traffic at the beginning, but I highly suggest you plan and budget appropriately. 
It might take one day or a whole month, but you’re going to get your first order and at that point you can finally say you really set-up your online clothing store.

Like I said, setting up an online clothing store is just the first step. In reality, you are going to have to learn as much as you can about fashion buying, merchandising, marketing, search engine optimization, html, php, ajax, javascript, analytics, etc.

Instant Wealth Wake Up Rich by Christopher Howard (free)

Author: Conan Edo

Book Description

How to build wealth with passion and purpose

The power to create great wealth is already within you. But monetizing that raw energy doesn’t happen by itself. As Christopher Howard shows, building great wealth is a dual process. It begins by identifying your passion—the things you truly and deeply care about, whatever they may be. Next, passion needs to be endowed with purpose: a clearly defined vision of the future you intend to create.

Once this happens, money is simply the natural reward. When you bring the value of passion and purpose to the marketplace, financial prosperity is the instant result. It’s like awakening to a new reality—not just for yourself, but for everyone who shares in your success. And make no mistake: sharing is a key element in the success of Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Branson, and the other billionaire entrepreneurs Chris introduces in these pages. Instant Wealth—Wake up Rich! proves that ultimate success is by no means a matter of selling out principles in order to become rich. On the contrary, it’s becoming rich in order to bring that riches to the world.

As a true entrepreneur himself, Christopher Howard has put these lessons to work in the creation of his own fast–growing international business. What’s worked for him—and for so many other hugely successful entrepreneurs—can work for you too. All it takes is passion, purpose, and waking up to instant wealth.

From the Inside Flap

What does it really take to be wealthy? What must you know? What must you do? And what must you not do if you really want to live the life of your dreams? In Instant Wealth–Wake Up Rich!, Christopher Howard proves that gaining great wealth doesn′t depend on advanced education, or being born into the right family, or even finding yourself in the right place at the right time. Instead, wealth is simply a matter of waking up to a few crucially important realities:

• Your passion in life, no matter what it might be, is the fundamental engine of your success
• Wealth inevitably results when yourwork and your passion are first linked, then unified
• Creating unity between work andpassion requires certain powerful tools—physical, mental, and spiritual
• As soon as you start using those tools—at that very instant!—your financial situation will rapidly and radically improve
• Now, just one final element remains. As you give back to the world, passion and purpose are infused with new meaning—and you literally wake up to a fundamentally changed reality. Your soul′s purpose shines through your work, your work creates a better world, and you build a lasting legacy of wealth in the truest sense of the word

For mega–entrepreneurs like Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, Warren Buffett, and

Christopher Howard himself, bettering the world is inseparable from the wealth–building journey. Waking up to instant wealth means everybody benefits. Chris puts it this way:

“The instant you commit to a sharing intention, you embrace an even larger purpose than riches for yourself. Your desire to give back energizes you to achieve much greater levels of wealth. This makes your passion and purpose far more meaningful. It clears the way not just for prosperity, but for ultimate success.”

For you as an individual and for all who will benefit from your prosperity, Instant Wealth—Wake Up Rich! is simply the fastest way from where you are to where you want to be. And as Christopher Howard shows, you′re a lot closer than you think!
