The Two Functioning Characteristics Of A Contractual Trust Structure

To provide asset protection and for the estate and
tax planning mechanisms to work best, the contractual
trust structure must have two functioning characteristics:

First, the "Trustee" must be independent. This Trustee cannot
be related by blood, marriage, or employment. The
Trustee must be an arms length party. The Trustee
may hire a Manager and delegates authority but the Trustee
retains responsibility and control and is a fiduciary
that can be held legally responsible for the protection
and defense of the trust and its assets.

Second, an "Exchangor" must actually exchange legal and
equitable ownership and control of the assets to the Private
Contractual Trust. It must actually be funded and begin
operating as a separate entity. Just creating the trust
and delivering the documentation will not accomplish the
goal. The activities of the trust must match what has been
set up under the terms of the contract documents.

The trusts are created with a fixed life, usually of twenty-five
years. They can be renewed but are irrevocable. A
Pure Contractual Trust can buy, sell, borrow, lend, rent, lease
and so forth. The significant changes are not in the activities,
but in ownership.

There are two keys that allow Pure Contractual Trusts to
create the benefits mentioned:

The first key is that the Pure Contractual Trust
can act as an individual legal entity. It is
separate and equivalent to a natural or real person
and can perform accordingly.

The second key is the jurisdiction of the trust.
Jurisdiction is essentially the area of law in which a
case is placed, to know what legal rules apply for deciding
a case one way or another, such as a criminal case as
opposed to a civil case. Pure Contractual Trusts are formed
outside of the jurisdiction in which statutory codes are effective.

The goal is not to own things, but to have complete
control and use of them at will. By the way,
you legally pay very little of no taxes with this method.

Pure Contractual Trusts

Generally, a trust can be defined as a person
holding something of value from another person for
the benefit of a third person, under some agreement
or contract. All parties must remain faithful to the
contract during its life. There are many "statutory" trusts
including family and living trusts, which are vulnerable to
attack and subject to certain reporting requirements.

We invite you to set aside your prior thoughts regarding
trusts and concentrate on the more specific area of the
"right of private contract" which has not been overturned
in over 7,000 cases.

The Pure Contractual Trust derives its power and correct
legal standing because it is based on a right guaranteed by the
Constitution. The term "trust" is used in the name, to
reference the underlying form. Therefore, a Pure Contractual
Trust is a private contract in the form of a trust.
The Pure Contractual Trust should not be confused
with other groups who sell or manage trusts that are
either statutory or common law. The Pure Contractual Trust
would only distinguish or defend itself under the right of
private contract.

The Private Contractual Trust is both powerful and
flexible, and cannot be intruded on by any statute,
regulation, or agency. It has no annual reporting or
public notice of officers or its affairs.

The three primary parties to this contract are: The
Exchangor, Trustee and Certificate Holders. After
the Creator and the Trustee initiate the irrevocable contract,
assets may be exchanged for management under the terms
of the trust in exchange for Trust Certificates, setting out
certain distribution rights.

Remember, to have things available for use and enjoyment
is more important than ownership.

The next post will explain the two functioning characteristics
that a contractual trust structure must have.

Top 10 Tips for Using Twitter

When it comes to social media, no one "gets it" as
well as Twitter.
According to Econsultancy, as of Jan 2010,
Twitter has 75 million user accounts, with about 15 million
of that total being active users. See "20+ Mind-Blowing
Media Statistics Revisited". Social media statistics

Regular Postings: Now I'm not saying you need to post
every day, although that would be nice. You do need
to make an appearance on a regular basis.
It's like school - you need to show up to pass.


Retweet: If you see Tweets posted by other users that
you think your followers would like, then retweet them.
It only takes one click, and you'll also be creating goodwill
with other Twitter users at the same time.


Be Helpful: Keep in mind Twitter is a form of social Media,
so social interaction is key. It's not all about you. Help others.

Don't Be A Follow CopyCat: Don't follow everybody who
follows you. Be selective in who you follow or your
Twitter stream could quickly fill up with junk or spam.
For quality people to follow, see –
FollowOnTwitterLists.com.

What to Tweet: Make sure that the tweets you post are helpful
and/or informative. If your tweets are good, it will encourage
others to retweet them. For ideas see
- ArtBizBlog.com

Comment: Participate in the community by commenting on
other people's tweets.

Say Thank You: When someone takes the time to retweet
one of your tweets, make sure to reply to them with
a "thank you". It may even inspire them to retweet
more of your tweets in the future.


Be Personal: Again, I don't need to know what you ate
for dinner, but every now and then you should show your
human side with a creative thought, quote, or other
statement. Let people know you're "real" and not just a
lean mean business machine.


Post Pictures/Video: Remember, Twitter is not just for
text. It's easy to post short videos, and pictures too.

See examples here.

Talk About More Than Yourself: It's not all about you,
so please don't make all your tweets one big marketing
message, such as only tweeting about your latest press
release, blog posting, or article that was published.

Ten Tips For Savings A Little Bit Here And There

1. Arrange for an automatic $25 biweekly transfer
from your checking account to your savings account.
By year's end, you could have over $600 in savings.

2. Brew your own coffee at home instead of buying
gourmet coffee every day.

3. Put tax refunds, bonuses and raises into savings.
At least 10 to 20 per cent of it.

4. Or, use year-end bonuses and refunds to pay of
high-cost debt.

5. Rent movies instead of going to the theater.
Borrow books from the library instead of buying them.

6. Clip coupons, even if they are for stores you may
not frequent. You may be able to use them at another
store you like, since competitors will often honor
one another's coupons.

7. Shop with a list so you buy only what you really need.

8. Pack your lunch a few days a week instead of eating out.

9. Eat at home more than you go out. If you do not
have time to cook, build a meal around a main course
prepared at your grocer's deli. You just provide the sides.

10. Consolidate trips to save on gas.

You will be pleasantly surprise how much you will have
saved at the end of the year, by simply saving a little
bit here and there.

The Right Of Private Contracting

The power of this right is that it is absolute, and
in the words of the Constitution it is unalienable,
meaning it cannot be separated from you.

Private contracting allows anything and everything
that is lawful to be done by right, without permission
from or limitation from any statutory authority.

The "right of private contract" was well recognized
prior to the inception of this country and was
guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States
of America. The Constitution provides an unlimited right
to make private contracts by individuals. That right
has been upheld by the courts and the laws of the land,
without exception.

This post introduces you to Private Contracting System combining education, consulting, and trusteeship. This system was designed to personally guide anyone to a simple, unique solution to achieve three primary objectives:

Asset Protection
Protecting your assets regardless of who try
to attach or take them.
Estate Planning -
Assures assets are conveyed to heirs according
to the contract and without probate.
Tax Planning -
Uses the opportunities and strategies of private
contracting to reduce or eliminate taxes

When the principles within the Private Contracting System
are applied, the three objectives will be gained through
a private contract known as a Pure Contractual Trust.

"You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments;
rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws;
rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe."

John Adams
Second President of the United States

How To Market On Facebook

At last count, there were over 350 million users
on Facebook and this number is continuing to grow.
It overtook MySpace as the number 1 social networking
website on the planet last year and is just behind Google
when it comes to online traffic. You can then understand
how important Facebook marketing has become for
websites everywhere

The great thing about Facebook is that from the
outset, it has encouraged all users to use the website
as a means of sharing information and marketing
whatever they please. As a result, it has developed
many ways for users to do this.

Pages
It is specifically designed for promoting a business and
everything it has to provide.
People can then become a
Fan of your page and when they do this, they let their
friends know that they've become a Fan of your page
via their News Feed.

Events
Create events to be held at a certain date and time.
It can be any one of the following:
• seminar: It should be introductory and free but
you could promote a paid one too.
webinar: A seminar conducted online which anyone
in the world can join.
• product/service launch: If you are about to launch
a product or service, this is a way to gain attention.

The best part about creating an event on Facebook is
that it can go viral, and before you know it, people
will be attending your event in droves.

Advertising
Finally, about a year ago, Facebook introduced an advertising
service where people can put ads promoting their website
or their Facebook Page and they pay per click (PPC) or
impression (CPM).

You can target your ads to certain geographical locations
but in addition, given the nature of Facebook, you can
attach your ads to social actions. For example, if
you were a wedding photographer and wanted to
promote your services, your ads could be set up
to appear only to females between the ages of
24 and 30 and whose relationship statuses indicate
they are engaged.

Embrace Facebook
If you want to market your website online, you
would be absolutely nuts not to use Facebook marketing
as one of your key strategies. Just be careful not to
get caught up in it too much because it can become
a very time consuming activity.

Stop....Forget About Yesterday

You can definitely move beyond the scars of yesterday.

Stop complaining about you situation, circumstances,
or condition. Quit repeating stories of those you have
disappointed. Stop complaining that everyone in your
family is poor. Stop talking about your limited education.

Quit pointing your finger at the company and others. Stop
advertising your pain. Stop meditating on your flaws. Everyone
has limitations. Each of us is handicapped in some way...
physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. Stop
entertaining negative images in your mind. Stop
confessing bad thing about you future. Quick looking
for quick and easy wealth.

Concentrate on your future. Rise above the stigma of any
person, place, thing, situation, circumstances or conditions.

This is one of the Secrets to becoming an Uncommon Leader
and Performing Beyond The Genius Level.
