Brian Fricke, author and retirement planning expert, explains the importance of owning your home free and clear.

Orlando, Fla. – July 30, 2010 – Brian Fricke, CFP, founder of Financial Management Concepts and “Worry Free Retirement” author/expert, recently published an article on his website titled Why You Should Own Your Home Free and Clear, where he discusses the advantages of paying off your mortgage early, as well as some of the most common arguments against early payoff.

“From my experiences over the last couple of decades, I’ve observed that folks tend to have a less stressful and more worry free retirement when they don’t have the burden of debt in their life. Which is why I believe your ultimate goal should be to own your home free and clear at or before retirement,” remarked Brian.

The two most common objections to making extra mortgage payments, as articulated in the article, are “If I do that I’m going to lose valuable tax deductions,” and “mortgage money is cheap. Why shouldn’t I just keep my mortgage and keep the money that I would have used to pay the mortgage off invested in a higher returning investment? Then the difference, or the spread, is mine to keep.”

Brian goes on to tackle each of these issues as well as offer his thoughts on whether paying off your mortgage early is right for you.  “If you have enough non-retirement money available, we think it makes sense to seriously consider using some of it to pay off your mortgage and own your home free and clear,” wrote Brian.

The book is loaded with practical, proven success principles you can use immediately to move ahead faster and achieve a life of greatness.

“Nick doesn’t just talk a good game, he puts his money where his mouth is. Yesterday, his latest book, Power Principles for Success, hit Amazon and became a best-seller in one day. We were lucky enough to get an advanced copy and it’s worth every penny of the $20 you’ll spend on it,” remarked Mel Robbins.

JW Dicks, Esq., business strategist and personal branding expert, along with Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent, recently discussed the staying power of the Harry Potter Brand.

Orlando, Fla. – July 29, 2010 – Co-founders of the Dicks + Nanton Branding Agency and best-selling authors, Nick Nanton, Esq., The Celebrity Agent and JW Dicks, Esq., America’s Foremost Expert on Personal Branding for Business Development, were recently named Top 10 expert bloggers on FastCompany.com.

In one of their recent blog posts, titled “Harry Potter and Personal Branding,” Nick and JW discuss opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios, Florida, and how Universal is expanding the Harry Potter brand.

“While all looks great with Harry Potter and the investment Universal made, the naysayers have been wondering out loud if Harry Potter will indeed have legs for years to come, after the last movie is out,” write Dicks and Nanton.  “Just because J.K. Rowling doesn’t want to write any more books, doesn’t mean she won’t license different forms of Harry Potter adventures, from cartoons to video games. All of this brand continuity is up to Universal, who has both the burden and the opportunity, to make the Harry Potter brand stay fresh and make its product line continue to flow,” continued the authors.

“The lesson in all of this for us is to remember that we too must be vigilant with our own brands and work to keep them fresh with new ideas and expanding products that not only grow in number, but also lead into new business verticals and opportunities,” conclude the authors.

Madeline Ross, CEO of exercise franchise SuperSlow Zone, LLC, announces the successful completion of SuperSlow Zone owners as Level II Instructors and preparing for Level III

Orlando, Fla. – July 28, 2010 – SuperSlow Zone, LLC, is proud and excited to announce that it awarded eight, and soon to add two more, SuperSlow Zone owners with a Level II status by completing a rigorous seven-month education and certification program. This pre-stages the next step in which these same SuperSlow Zone® owners will complete the status of Level III – Qualified Certifier.

“Our education programs and certifications are governed by the International Association For Continuing Education and Training  (www.IACET.org), the most prestigious, global accrediting organization, and two SuperSlow® Masters, Dan Carter of Scottsdale, Arizona and Ryan Womack, of College Station, Texas,” said Madeline Ross, Founder and CEO of SuperSlow Zone®.

“Because we run with the ‘global, big dog companies/organizations’ that are accredited by IACET, with USA examples such as the American Physical Therapy Association, National Institute of Health, Centers for Disease Control and, Duke University Medical Center, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) Corporate University, GE Healthcare, etc. our standards are very high and consistent,” continued Ross.  “This select group of SuperSlow Zone® owners took eight CEU courses totally 9.5 hours of class time, taught one CEU course, passed written and oral exams, and completed a writing assignment to be used as they now teach for our Institute. When you combine this with the fact they are successful SuperSlow Zone® owners, you have the best of all world – they know where the rubber hits the road by producing tremendous client satisfaction and results blended with expanded knowledge and skills.”

About the rigorous IACET standards, Madeline Ross said, “Important fundamentals of our program are the education and leadership from Dan and Ryan, our two SuperSlow® Masters, and peer-to-peer assessments of each student’s performance each class, both of which sharpened their overall knowledge development, practical application and their skills for giving and receiving effective feedback. Additionally, these Level IIs already are, or will, be teaching for our institute. Building our knowledge-base wide and deep with successful, competent SuperSlow Zone owners is critical. Our IACET accredited program, and it’s challenging, high standards, is particularly important at a time when the public consistently encounters a personal training industry that can be an ungoverned, non-accredited, unsafe, ‘hey – I’m just like you’… free-for-all.”

“With the support and expertise of our two SuperSlow® Masters, Dan and Ryan, each Level II student had the opportunity be educated and assessed by the very BEST, a combined nineteen years of our SuperSlow® Master’s experience,” continued Ross.

As these ten SuperSlow Zone® owners advance to Level III – Qualified Certifier, SuperSlow Zone® will be adding ten additional certifying centers throughout the US. This is particularly important for SuperSlow Zone’s focus on the corporate wellness market through two strategic partners, who have a combined 18 years in the corporate wellness segment.

CALGARY, ALBERTA – July 24, 2010- Dawn McIntyre, founder and CEO of Boldly Beautiful® International, a self esteem, confidence building and spiritual growth company, recently published a blog on her website, www.boldlybeautiful.com about how women can become more confident about their daily health and wellness. The blog, titled “Visualize a Vigorous You,” teaches women how they can leverage their thoughts about their bodies to actually become a healthier and stronger individual.

Dawn writes, “Beliefs turn into thoughts. Thoughts evolve into actions. Actions deliver direct results into our lives. So what to you believe about your body? Think about the physical results that you are experiencing.”

“Often for women (and men for that matter), change must happen in the mind and heart first, before it can take tangible shape in our daily choices. Positive visualization has proven to release individuals from deep rooted fears and empower people to accomplish feats that they previously thought unconquerable.” argues McIntyre.

Boldly Beautiful® International specializes in helping women and teens build their self confidence and grow spiritually. Through a variety of coaching programs, they help clients with ­­developing personal intuition, learning to see their inner beauty and becoming masters of their life dreams.

“If you run a printing company you’re only ever going to make a limited amount of money printing paper,” write Dicks and Nanton.  “But, if you can become an expert on how to print the paper, or more importantly how to create mailing campaigns that help people maximize their return on investment, you’re always going to get paid more money.  So you have to become an expert,” continued the authors.

“We all think that our clients and prospects can see inside of our heads, and they know exactly what we’re thinking. Obviously, that’s not true.  So…we’ve got to display our expertise,” write the authors.  Nick Nanton and JW Dicks delve into eight different strategies that are highly useful in doing just that.  Some of these strategies include getting into social media, starting a blog, writing articles, issuing press releases, providing newsletters for clients, writing books, offering special reports and providing other information products.
