Introduction.
So this is my chance to introduce myself and the world of alpacas to you.
To speak directly about why I am writing this book and what it’s all about.
It’s important to know it’s not just about alpacas or making money, but finding a lifestyle that leads to health wealth and happiness in the process.
This is the story of how all of this came about for me.
My Name is Jason Taylor and I live in a small village called creeksea situated along the banks of the river crouch in Essex England .From a small child I have always been interested in making money and searching for that golden opportunity. Discovering new things , playing happily for hours exploring whatever I found interesting or engaging at the time. usually making cash, or more importantly some other benefit as a bi product of just sharing whatever I was into with the other kids.
As i grew up I still enjoyed playing and working on the things I wanted to do. so when I took a proper job going to work full time as a labourer on a building site it was a whole different story.To say the least it was a big shock to my system.
Over the years in many different fields of work and business i could see everyone about focusing so much time and effort into working just for the money, trying to climb that financial ladder which is supposed to bring us happiness yet somewhere along the way most seem to forget just how to be happy. I don’t mean jolly in your work but truly happy and fulfilled and not just for a moment.
It’s plain to see most are totally miserable while trying to make a living or striving for material things, position or power in this so called civilized system. The journey is never a totally happy one as I believe it should be. most end up disappointed ,not truly happy, but divorced, stressed, in debt or health wise something worse.
I decided to write this book because everyone deserves to be enjoying life the way I do under god or to be more accurate under the radar.
Happy in the work i do without any financial worries. Not dependent on anti-depressants, a crappy job , junk food, mortgage payments ,taxes or rent. I am free !I live freely and sleep well. Life is wonderful and it always has been although looking back I haven't always known it .
The reason I chose the subject of alpacas is an interesting one, my son and his girlfriend are now successful alpaca breeders who have introduced me to these wonderful creatures. I don’t have any of my own but find them fascinating. I see many money making opportunity’s everywhere and I want to share some of them with you. For me this is family orientated.
By introducing you to the world of alpacas, I help them ,as I do the alpaca community and the industry as a whole. Which is also one of the reasons I am publishing this on steemit because it is that same kind of mechanism that drives everything forward.Watching our kids change their lifestyle and enthusiastically talk about what now is work has been truly amazing. To see them happily doing something they both really like doing together is all the reward I need.
People have always asked how is it my wife and I manage to constantly travel, jet setting around the world without ever having a career or even a proper job So here I am writing this book just because Its time to tell you and its no big secret.
I don't pay my taxes and I have never voted in all my 53 years.
I want to help others that see no way out of being constantly broke or depressed. To teach them how to see the things I see. Learn how to turn any situation around to make it better and have fun doing it. There is much more to life than just being a financial slave to the machine. I hate the system and despise seeing others stuck in it. Not that I have never been stuck in it myself I have often been down in that rut, but when I change my state of mind, I change my experience, I change my life, I change my world completely, I have done it so many times. Now I see my children doing it and living a life that makes them truly happy.
As i write this book I am changing my world again. The fact you are reading this means that I have changed it, and you can change yours. there is now a new book in the world to read. For any of you who are now reading this...... what would you be doing at this exact moment? Where else could someone be if i had not existed and stole this moment from you? who may you, or may you not have met? The list goes on It’s a (butterfly effect) if you have ever seen that movie. I am constantly changing my world for the better and as you change yours in some obscure way without fail you effect mine and that’s what keeps life interesting because not just together we all make a difference. you alone make the biggest difference !
Now the alpaca business in the UK, is mainly a stud stock industry.
Breeders are making good money selling stock, and will continue to do so for some time before having enough alpacas to satisfy the commercial demand for fiber.
This business, is unlike other alternative farming practices that had not focused on the end product until going through boom and bust. People in the alpaca industry are very aware that for its long term success alpaca must produce a viable and profitable end product. They are all committed as a team to becoming not just alpaca breeders but an essential part of a fiber industry. Additional sources of income for alpaca owners include stud servicing, the sale of raw and added value fiber, tourism, training and craft courses as well as finding new and exciting ways to use this natural renewable product.
The main focus of this book is about making money with alpacas and doing what you enjoy doing in life and not so much about how to raise them.
There are many amazing books on the subject of raising and caring for alpacas, so this book is only going to give a basic introduction to the breeding & caring of these wonderful creatures.
If you’re interested in alpacas, and are considering the possibility of breeding them to generate some part time income, start your own full time business or you’re just looking for a change in lifestyle this book is going to be a good start for you.
It will help you to avoid some of the costly mistakes professionals have made before jumping into this business to become a successful alpaca breeder and fiber supplier in this niche market of top quality products and producers.
This book will help to show you who is buying and where the money really is, as well as where it is not including what’s most likely to turn more of a profit in the future. It’s packed full of useful information that you are going to need before deciding to embark on this business venture and buying your 1st alpacas.
You are going to find all kinds of useful information within these pages like where to buy valuable breeding stock and what to look out for, to useful links to who’s who in the alpaca farming & fiber industry with contact numbers you can call.
Where to find the best fiber buyers and the prices they give for fleece. The best mills that will process your fiber into a top quality yarn and return it back to you. Professional alpaca shearers that will come to your farm or small holding. This could be the golden opportunity you have been waiting for, a book that will highlight the positives and negatives, analyzing the true costs and benefits of an alternative lifestyle before you start dealing with alpacas.
Many will view this book highly controversial when discussing certain subjects like Ponzi schemes, tax avoidance, legal manipulation, animal rights & welfare, or plagiarism for that matter.
Whether you’re bending the planning rules to obtain building permission for that residential dwelling on agricultural land or just looking for some of life’s loopholes to get ahead you need to read this.
When it comes to the things that control our lives you may just need this book & a little alpaca help to realize your goals. Whatever they are, I aim this book to reveal much more than you’re expecting.
Let’s kick off with plagiarism.
That’s an interesting word. I googled it and this is what it came up with.
noun: plagiarism; plural noun: plagiarisms
the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
synonyms: copying, infringement of copyright, piracy, theft, stealing, poaching, appropriation; informal cribbing.
Ok so I have just copied and pasted some of that that alpaca information above straight form the internet. Too easy
I can now confess officially i am going to be plagiarist. I am going to copy and paste certain information from the internet without giving credit to the author because I don’t want it to read like a dictionary putting everything down as a quote/ unquote which really gets on my nerves while reading, or waste time re arranging the facts on the things I have learned. Trying to put exactly the same important information down in my own words in an attempt not to offend anyone or worrying about getting sued for copyright quite frankly is a waste of my time.
Most of the work is my own, my own thoughts, ideas and experiences but when it comes down to the facts and information concerning alpacas, or knowing certain ways to get things done I am not going to try to re-invent the wheel. If I like what you have to say and know what you are saying is true through personal experience, I will grab that information with both hands and share it.
chapter 1
In Search Of a Golden Fleece
will be in my next post when I have figured out a how to post pictures and find my way around steemit
be back soon jt
A lot of work, you put in your article. It would be much easier to read with some editing and better appreciatet by most with some pics (alpacas are nice animals, though). I like alpacas, had the chance to encounter some of those ( I even have a pullover made from alpaca wool).
Any tips on how to upload pics would be much appreciated. I am the kind of person who dives right in head first and try's to figure out the detail later. my grammar is awful and spelling not much better, but aim to do my very best at editing . having gone over the text several times I just had to post it.
Hehe, same as myself...
While "submitting a Story" there is an edit button on the right upper side of your new article. There you can find some tools, including that one you need for posting pics. You can only insert pictures that are on an hoster like imgSafe or anything like that ( means you need an URL to insert). Thats all...
Hope that helps :-)
