ACBT, American Council for the Blind of Texas is holding their annual conference in Houston, and BOSS will be there!

That’s right, this year’s conference in houston will hopefully bring in more great members into the BOSS program. I will be promoting BOSS in the exhibit hall alongside vendors of adaptive equipment and adaptive software from a wide variety of specialties and backgrounds. People like Freedom Scientific, Humanware, Kirtzwhile, and many others will be in the exhibit hall at this year’s conference in Houston Texas.

The conference will be held September 24th through the 26th. BOSS will be there for all three days. This will be a great promotional venture for BOSS, and it will be the first live promotion of the program since BOSS has been in operation since July of 2007.

Our first big promotion was in July of 2007 when we launched our first membership campaign by sending out emails to both the American Council of the Blind and the American Federation of the Blind. Now, we’re taking this live at this year’s annual state conference of the American Council of the Blind in Houston Texas.

What this could mean for BOSS is more members and more successful marketers. As with any program, growth spirts do happen, and this is perhaps one of those times when we will gain a great influx of new members who are ready to build their own online careers through our extensive, and accessible training.

I sincerely hope that we’re successful at bringing BOSS to the many people who will be attending this year’s conference in houston. This will indeed be a milestone in how we promote the program, plus it could help to lay the groundwork for future promotions.

Here’s a great list of ways to increase your influence online:

Online Influence

The Texas School For The Blind and Visually Impaired is having a makeover!

The Texas School For The Blind and Visually Impaired in Austin Texas  is totally renovating their entire campus.  We have all seen the show, Extreme Home Makeover which features none other than Tie Pennington who is the show’s host tearing down people’s houses and building them new ones.  Well the Texas School For The Blind and Visually Impaired is having its own version of that, accept for the fact that Tie Pennington isn’t there, and neither is that huge bus that is so imphomous with the show.  so that means that we can’t say, “Move that bus!”

However, just like the show, buildings are being torn down and new ones are being erected.  That’s right, the entire campus is getting an extreme makeover, and I do mean extreme!

The original buildings have served the blind and visually impaired for many many years now, and now it is time for a change.  New state of the art buildings are being erected where the old ones once stood.  There are even new buildings that weren’t originally there being erected too.

On June 12 of this year, there will be a fare well to the main building event.  This event will feature a tour of the main building, refreshments in the cafeteria and an open mike later on that afternoon for those who wish to express their memories of this fine campus.

The Texas School For The Blind and Visually Impaired is located at 1100 West 45th Street in  Austin Texas. you can visit their web site at the following here below to find out more on this major renovation.

The new and improved Texas School For The Blind and Visually Impaired will be a state of the art campus.  It will feature the latest in technology and services designed with the blind and visually impaired in mind.  State of the art dormatories, along with state of the art educational buildings and state of the art food service and medical facilities will help to greatly enhance the education of all blind and visually impaired students across Texas.

Blind people directing movies?  Is that really possible?

An innovative film crew in Jeruselam is working on a project that may possibly change the views of blind and visually impaired people playing the role of film director and camera man.

According to one of the film crew, whose sight is quite limited was always told that he shouldn’t film that somebody else would film because he couldn’t do it due to his bad vision.  He never dreamed that he could actuly do it because he felt that he and the camera were two different things and that it would not be plausable for him to work behind the camera.

However, with this special film crew, they’re making waves in the blind community, proving that just because you’re blind; doesn’t mean that you can’t make a film.

Sure they use adaptations to make things work for them, but the main thing is; is that they find a way to do the things that other people think are virtually impossible for them to do.  For example, the camera man said that he uses cues from the people that he is filming.  He uses sound to tell him where the people are in the presentation, and he simply aims the camera in their direction.  He also tells the actors to use certain sounds to give him other cues that he needs to control the camera.

Who knows, maybe a blind film crew just might put out the next blockbuster film in theatres soon.  It is all very possible and it can be done, and this special film crew is paving the way for this to be possible for anyone who is blind or visually impaired.

So if you have always wanted to direct, and film, then this just might be the ticket for your success as a filmmaker.  So don’t ever think that just because you can’t see doesn’t mean that you can’t do it because blind people from all over the world are proving otherwise.

Sure, it may take adaptations and innovation, but the fact is, if you have the desire to do something, don’t let the sighted world tell you any different.  Prove them all wrong by actually doing it and doing it with the means by which you’re able to use to make it happen.

It is not the process that really matters, it is the fact that you had set out to do it and you had accomplished your task, and done it with the tools, techniques and innovations that you need in order to make it happen.  Blind and visually impaired people have already proved that they can do a lot of things that the sighted world thought to be virtually impossible for them to do, and they did it with innovation, techniques and strategies that they themselves have invented, or have borrowed from other sources to make it work for them.  There’s always more than one way to skin a cat, so don’t let someone tell you any different.

Pretty soon, blind people will be driving cars, flying planes and a whole lot more.  Who knows what the future will bring to the blind and visually impaired community.  Technology has definitely paved the way in many situations for the blind and visually impaired, and it will prove itself again when we hear about yet another blind individual accomplishing something that is normally sight related.

So Hollywood; get ready to begin working with blind film crews and blind film directors and such.  They’re coming!

One of our members, Tracey Frost, is in the Medical field.  She has done medical transcription for a number of years now, and she has had lots of experience with the medical transcription field, as you will see in her story which has been posted on the following web site.

http://www.afb.org/Section.asp?SectionID=7&TopicID=267&SubTopicID=83&DocumentID=4888

As you have seen from the story from the link above, the medical transcription field is quite demanding and at times, quite intensive with little, or no breaks.  This is one of those jobs that you really have to love doing if you do decide to do it.

Some people would think that medical transcriptionists have gone nuts sitting at their computers all day long, but that’s what this job requires.  It requires dedication, focus and the willingness to help others in times of need.

Tracy frost is one of those people who loves helping others.  She is an outstanding BOSS member.  She has achieved a lot through her career as a medical transcriptionist and she continues to grow by being a valuable part of the BOSS program.  If you are blind and visually impaired, then you may want to join Tracy in making your dreams come true by becoming a part of our program.

Through our program, Tracy Frost has learned a great deal about marketing online, and she is on her way to developing her own medical site, wich will feature many of the things that she holds dear, and that will help other people in many different ways.

Besides being a medical transcriptionist, Tracy Frost is also a patient advocate which means that she is the link between you, the doctor and the medical facility.  All of this is part of her willingness to help others.  As a BOSS member, tracy has been instrumental in providing excellent ideas that will help the other members of the program.  She is definitely a very active part of the Blind Online Success System.  That is why she was added to the Blind Persons Achieving Success Section of this blog.

Congratulations to Tracy Frost for her outstanding achievements and commitment to the BOSS program

The second meeting of the Beaumont Area Council of the Blind went smoothly, but after a rather rough start.  You see, our meeting was supposed to start promptly at 1:30 pm, but we didn’t start til sometime after 2:30 pm.  Nevertheless, we accomplished what we needed to accomplish and a bit more.

We read our constitution and bylaws, and then we voted on them and made them final. Then we actually had the chance to confirm our officer positions.  You see, we started with temporary positions.  The president, Vice president and the secretary were some of the positions that were deamed temporary until we had our second meeting.

Kenneth Semien SR. our President;  sent in our documentation regarding chaptership, so that means that sometime next month, we will recieve chaptership status, thus making BACB the 10th chapter in texas.  This is a  true milestone because when we recieve full chapter status, we can begin assisting educators, and other professional officials  in making the needed changes that our area needs to greatly improve the lives of those who are blind and visually impaired.

Since our officers have been confirmed, and all documentation has been submitted,  all that we need to wait on now is the final say by the board of directors at whether or not we’re a chapter.

I am the first vice president, and Kenneth is our president.  We also have a second vice president, Melinda.  I will be working close with Melinda to train her and to assist her in her duties as second vice president of our chapter.

My duties as first vice president is to back up the president should he not be able to attend the meetings.

This is really an exciting time for the Beaumont area blind and visually impaired because a chapter of ACB was very much needed in our area.  However, now that this is underway, now a much brighter future is in store for our local area as a direct result.

As Co-Founder of the BOSS program, I urge everyone to join either ACB, or NFB, or any other organization of their choice to help support the blind and visually impaired in whatever way possible.

These organizations have helped many blind and visually impaired people to live more independent lives.  They have brought hope and inspiration to those whithout hope and inspiration, and they have brought much needed education to where it is needed most.

So whether you join ACB, NFB, or even the Lions Club, or any other organization that supports the blind; it really doesn’t matter because we’re all working towards one great cause and that is the betterment and full independence of those who are blind and visually impaired.

After all, that is what the BOSS program does.  It helps to make those that are blind and visually impaired more independent by offering them skills that they can use the rest of their lives to build, run and manage a successful business on the Internet.  Combined with these organizations mentioned above, the skills and abilities that are achieved by each individual insures that individual a greater understanding of their place in society, as well as within a business setting.

It really doesn’t matter which organization that you’re a part of because all of these organizations do something to assist those that are blind or visually impaired in one way, or another.

A brand new chapter of the American Council For The Blind is about to be open in Beaumont Texas.  I myself, along with Kenneth J. Semien, and Dr. Ed Bradley, former president of ACB Texas, along with at least 10 other people will be meeting on Thursday November 5th to begin development of this new chapter.

What this means for the Beaumont Texas area is that now we will have our own chapter of ACB, and we will not have to travel to Houston to attend ACB meetings.  This new chapter will do many of the same things that other chapters of ACB in Texas does.  We Sincerely hope that this new chapter will bring more independence, and education to the Golden  Triangle area of Southeast Texas.  This could help to open the doors to employment and better blind services for our local area.

We will be meeting at Division of Blind Services to begin proceedings for the development of this new chapter.  I will keep you all posted and informed as to what transpires from this meeting and future meetings to come regarding the development of this new chapter of ACB in Beaumont Texas

Well it has finally happened. Warren Yarnall has started promoting my product to his list.  Now the thing that I need to wait for is some sales to come in, but I don’t know when that will be.  I also don’t know how many people are on his list, so we’ll just have to wait and see what happens with this promotion.

You see, that’s all that it takes.  I committed to action, and now I have to wait for the results to come in.  If you don’t take any action, then nothing will happen, and you will only have yourself to blame.

The techniques and strategies that I used to get this product out there are the strategies that I myself had learned from Jeff and Lori as their first apprentice.  I can’t stress enough how valuable a mentor, or couple of mentors really are to your success online.  They can help you to go a very very long way in this business.

Let me give you an example.  When I first started with Jeff and Lori, I had always wondered how on earth people connected their web sites with PayPal.  That was a skill that I had desired so much so that I could taste it, and I wanted to learn it.

Well one day, Lori taught me exactly how, and now I am making money online because of that skill.  I have already made some money previously from the first launch of my e-book, but now I may be making even more money possibly because I just repeated what I had done in the first place.

You see, if you join the BOSS program and you’re blind, or visually impaired, you too can learn these valuable skills.  We teach you all kinds of great marketing skills that will help you with your new business.

Our members are learning all sorts of great skills that will help them to become even more successful as they go along.  You see, we pay close attention to everyone in this program, and we make sure that they fully understand everything that we teach them.  That’s what we’re all about.

You know, just the simple skill of learning how to set up PayPal with your site is one of those skills that if you don’t have it; well, you don’t have a business, plain and simple.  That is why I firmly believe in the program, not just because I am co-founder of it, but because I know that it really works.  There’s no need for me to mislead you hear.  That wouldn’t do me any good if I were to do that.

I really want you to seriously think about joining if you’re blind, or visually impaired because we can teach you so much about marketing online, Plus we have a really great group and things are happening.

We can teach you how to connect your site with PayPal if you like, or learn many other necessary marketing skills that you have wanted to learn, but never could before.

We’re a pretty fun bunch, and I have to say; we’re also quite accessible too.  We don’t hide behind anything.  We’re out in the open ready for you whenever you may need us.  That’s the way that we operate.  So if you want, click on the link here below and you will be taken to our information page where you can learn more and sign up for membership.

I am really looking forward to meeting you soon

Donald Brown
Co-Founder

This is a historical moment for me today.  Why you ask?  Well as of today, Sunday April 19, 2009, a well-known Internet marketer by the name of Warren Yarnall has decided to promote my e-book entitled, Proven Tips Tools and Tactics To Have Your Own Info Product to his list.

Now I don’t know about you, but this is very exciting to me because for the first time, another Internet marketer other than Jeff and Lori are promoting a product that I created and worked hard on.

Don’t get me wrong, Jeff and Lori are excellent coaches and mentors.  It is just that they have taught me well, and they continue to do so through the BOSS program.  Because of what they had taught me, I am able to get something marketed and sold online.

Now this isn’t the first time that this book was sold because when it was first published, I made $114 in sales, and that’s when I was selling it for only $7.  So why am I telling you this?

Well first off, the reason why I am telling you is because you can accomplish this too with your own products.  You see, it really isn’t all that hard to do, but the main thing is; is that you must be persistant, and take immediate action.  That’s the key to success online.

If you’re a BOSS member, then this should be something that you should have a look at.  No, not the product, but look at the fact that we can make money online.  I have already done it, and so can you.

Now if you’re not a BOSS member and you are reading this, let me tell you that what I am saying here is not hype, or misleading in any way whatsoever.  I am telling you the complete, honest truth.  No, I am not going to show you screenshots of my earnings because that really isn’t the ethical thing to do in this business.  I don’t feel that I should flash in your face; screenshots of money made just to brag and show off because that’s just not professional.

Making money online is a real challenge, but I can honestly tell you that it really isn’t as hard as you think that it is.  Sure it is hard work, and you have to do something in order to get something from it, but that’s the key.  You must do something first before you can expect anything back in return.

Jeff and Lori have taught me well, and they continue to do so.  I myself, along with them offer you this program so that you too can learn the techniques and strategies that I use to make money online.

Several of our other members have made money from their own businesses, and this is only the beginning.  We’ve barely begun this journey because come july 2009, the BOSS program will be 2 years old.

Let me share something with you here that is a bit statistical.  About 1% of people who join any Internet marketing group take action on what they’re given, or taught.  That’s a really low number, but let me share with you about the BOSS program’s percentage rates.  They’re at 8%, which is extremely high and unheard of in the IM world.  No, this is not an exaduration, or something that is made up.  It is the honest truth.

At the time of this writing, we have about 67 members, and 8% of them are taking action.  Notice that I didn’t say that 8% were making money with their own businesses.  Just 8% are doing what they need to do to get onto the right path to success.

That means that within the other Internet marketing groups there’s something seriously wrong, and no, it doesn’t have to do with what’s being taught, but rather; it has to do with the people who attend these live conferences.  You see many people who attend these things will buy up everything that is in the back of the room, take it home and let it sit, and never ever do anything with it.  However, that’s not the case with the BOSS program.

That’s because many of our people are taking action and using what they’re being taught.  They’re not just sitting on their rears twittling their thumbs wishing and hoping to make money online. They’re doing something about it.  They’re taking affirmative action; which is what everyone else in these other marketing groups should be doing if they really want a business online.

Just the simple act of taking action is enough to start building momentum.  The more momentum you have behind you, the more successful you become but that all starts with good coaches and teachers in this market.

You need the best in order to get the best, and that’s what the BOSS program offfers.  It simply offers any blind or visually impaired person who joins the best that Internet marketing can give with nothing held back.

As co-founder of the BOSS program, I can honestly attest to the fact that we take pride and care in what we do.  I have helped many people in our program, and I continue to do so even as I write this.  The biggest challenge in marketing online is simply taking action.  That is perhaps one of the most crutial steps that anyone can take towards their success because without action; there is no success whatsoever.

This business doesn’t appear out of thin air like many people think and believe.  It takes guts, determination, work, and affirmative action to get the ball rolling in the right direction.

Sure you’re going to have setbacks along the way, but don’t we all?  There are going to be times when you might think that you will just throw in the towl, but that’s where we will come in.

We will be there for you, and we will keep you from throwing in that perverbial towel.  Our whole focus is upon seeing you succeed with your own business on the Internet and that’s what we’re bound and determined to do.

So, if you’re blind or visually impaired, and you think that this might be for you, then click the link below to register.  We’d love to have you.

Remember, making money online really isn’t all that hard to do.  It just takes determination and a whole lot of work, but you have to be willing to take up the challenge and meet it with expectations of success.
