I Bet You Didn’t Make Any Money…

August 25th, 2005

Here’s an update to a random idea I had a while back: Want to Know How to Make Some Money?, where I babbled:

Want to Know How to Make Some Money? Here, I’ll tell you.

News Sentinel | 06/24/2005 | Funding cut for translator service

Asterisk
+ Wireless network + Laptops + Webcams + Subscriptions + Nationwide
(Worldwide?) network of on-call interpreters for lots of languages.

Well, go on.

The idea being that one could start a business capitalizing on the relatively cheap availability of video conferencing tools to sell distributed interpretation services.

Well, I talked to my sister about this idea. She’s a nurse.

The concept is D.O.A., and here’s why: there are strict rules about how the interaction between doctors, patients, and interpreters are to take place. Specifically, the interpreter is not allowed to be a “participant” in the conversation: the interpreter must not speak directly to the patient. The patient looks only at the doctor, never at the interpreter.

That’s a rule.

Which obviates the whole point of the webcam idea. Perhaps the VOIP aspect would still be doable, however.

    I have been practicing the Law of Attraction for most of my life (I’m 27 yrs), however, I did not know what it was until I read “The Secret”. I just thought that I had good luck in my life b/c I beleived in GOD. Of course I continue to praise GOD for enlightening me, but I have also come to realize that YOU have some control over how your life will end up. The biggest example I have of the Law of Attraction in action is how about 6 mths ago I wanted to buy a new car. Not just any car but a 2010 Infiniti G37. I desperately wanted this care b/c #1 my previous car was old #2 I felt like I truely deserved a luxury vehicle. I spent many days & nights fantasizing about this car and what I would look in it. Nevertheless, last month I bought my car. I ended up qualifying for a loan at a 2.94% rate and am trying to pay it off ASAP so that I can say I TRUELY own the vehicle. I thank GOD and the Universe every day for delivering my wishes!!

    I propose not to hold back until you get enough amount of money to order goods! You can take the loan or short term loan and feel comfortable
