I've recently read the "Four Hour Work Week" by Tim Ferris. Tim is a big promoter of Outsourcing your life.
This evening, I posted two ads, in my first attempt to outsource my life ... and hire independent contractors. The below ad was posted on Craigslist. It's a fun attempt at trying to get some help with supper. (I'm amused ... and will look forward to ANY response!)
I also posted a project on elance.com ... looking for someone to help internet market vacant rental properties.
Hello.
We are a local family who love Indian and Asian vegetarian food. We are looking for a cook experienced in
this wonderful cuisine to prepare delicious, fresh, healthy, authentic Indian/Asian vegetarian meals for us.
If you've cooked a curry once or twice or need to follow recipes, this position is probably not for you but if you know Indian vegetarian cooking in depth and can prepare delicious, healthy, fresh, authentic Indian vegetarian food then we'd like to hear from you. This could be an ideal opportunity if you are Indian, Pakistani, Punjabi, Bangladeshi etc. and are looking for a great way to apply your experience and love of Indian vegetarian food, cooking and culture to.
Please reply with details of your experience and some dishes you could prepare. If we like what you have to offer, we'll arrange for you to cook a sample meal or two which we will pay you for and then we'll see what works out for us all.
This is a part-time position. You will be self-employed and responsible for your own taxes, etc. We'll pay you an hourly rate we will agree with you plus grocery bills for the food you prepare. You can prepare food in your own place and we can arrange to collect from you, possibly for us to freeze for later eating. We will work with you to come up with menus and schedules that work out for you and us.
Thank you for your interest.
Compensation: To be agreed
Telecommuting is ok.
This is a part-time job.
I study the economic fundamentals on buying Calgary, Alberta real estate nearly everyday.
Yesterday I attended CREB's (Calgary Real Estate Board) Forecast 2008 Conference and Trade Show. Our feature Speaker was Diane Francis, broadcaster, best-selling author, and editor-at-large for The National Post. Her expertise is interpreting the impact of national and international events on the business community. Francis draws a clear picture from the pitfalls and opportunities facing Canadian businesses.
She's a believer in Real Estate ... and believes that North America is the most safe, secure, and can do entrepreneurial place on earth.
In my region ... British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan are the last of the great safe oil plays left in the world.
Calgary is, and will continue to be, the business head quarters for these oil plays.
Francis summed up her presentation by saying .... "In the next two to five years, buy real estate ... buy real estate ... buy real estate."

When can I assist you in buying your next well selected investment property in safe secure Calgary, Alberta?
The stats are out ... and Single Family Homes in Calgary appreciated 16.62% in 2007. Condo's increased by 20.41% ... for combined appreciation of 18.62%!
The year-to-date average price of a single family Calgary metro home in 2007 was $472,230, and the year to-date average price of a metro condominium was $316,370.
The year-to-date median price for a home was $421,000, an increase of 16.62 per cent from the 2006 year-to-date median price of $361,000. (Creb.com)
These are amazing stats.
March and April was a Sellers Market ... where multiple offers and high prices were the norm. May through July showed a balanced Market. Since August it has been a buyers market where there has been a huge inventory of homes ... and serious price reductions.
While we are still in a buyers market ... the stats show this is changing quickly. Since late November ... the inventory of homes has decreased and days on market have decreased. The graph is downwards ... indicating that we are getting closer again to a balanced market.
What a roller coaster.
I plan to live to be 116 years old.
When I'm 106 years old (in 2073) and looking back on my life ... I'm certain I'll look back at this time (2006-2012) as truly exceptional.
It's an incredible prosperous time for those folks who study the economic fundamentals (and take action) of what's driving the price increases we have seen Alberta.
In 2008, Don Cambell of www.albertarein.com is predicting 12.2% increase in Calgary prices. TD is predicting 10%. My Canadian Leaders at REMAX have produced a press release indicating that prices will be flat. (I think they are on crack cocaine.)
I'm predicting 13% appreciation in 2008.
