Morning Folks!!
If you want to succeed you need to prepare. Preparing usually takes a LOT longer than the actual goal or the actual hunt. Olympians prepare for years for a 50 yard sprint. A race lasting seconds and they prepare for YEARS!! WHY??? Because they want to succeed!
Danny and I WANT TO SUCCEED!!!!
So what you have been seeing is preparation. Not only for the hunted, but for the hunter. You! Understanding why leasing is to your benefit whether you do it via JointVentures.com, yourself or the DOZENS of others that will be offering a leasing service or option.
The entire industry is moving to a lease model because it has been around for a very long time and it works! Ask any top tier domainer. They ALL have leases or have had leases. I have not met any saying they never leased a domain. We are just bringing the model out into the open in a big way. Educating domainers is the first part of all this. So folks can see what we see and why we see it and why NOW??
This is the loading the truck stage to go to market. This is how we prepare not only the end user but the domainer. Maybe it helps folks pick better domains.
Next Friday we will release our entire 2013 domain leasing collection. We do many things each and every day to prepare and move things forward. While others go home we still work. While others sleep we still work. We accomplish many things each day. But we also pace ourselves. So we are 1 full week ahead of schedule. That allows us to prepare on other fronts and do it early.
Each day we accomplish hundreds of tasks. Interview people. We are building a complete infrastructure. But we both need time off and breaks and other outlets.
Domainers are reading this but more importantly end users are coming here more and more each and every day. I bet some will even begin to identify themselves in the months and years ahead. There is nothing I would not say here that I would not say to an end user. That's the definition of transparency.
I have no problem letting a customer know I paid $100 for a domain he will lease for $1000/month. Why? Because who cares?? If that is their focus we won't be doing business anyway. I want smart people that want a domain for their own self interest. That's why it is a winner for all.
So while some may see this as a waste of our time I can tell you it is part of our preparations. It is part of our plan. This is my soapbox and I will tell you that the crowds HERE will grow as folks look for REAL ANSWERS based on a REAL HISTORY. End users ARE reading this. End users are contacting us every day now. We are priming the pump. THIS is how you make something from nothing.
So sit back and watch the 'dance' we are going to do that is going to change the destiny of HUNDREDS and then THOUSANDS! In the next 90 days we will demonstrate what we intend to do. We are building something. It may not be the way you build things, but you are sure as hell going to see how *I* build things.
First you gather the ammo materials. Then you load the ammo into a case. Then you put it in the delivery mechanism. Then you carefully aim. Then you aim some more. Then you pull the trigger. The deed happens in a split second. The prep is what it is all about. Getting it in the right order is what it is all about. Soon all will see what it is all about.
So be patient as we take you on this journey with us. We will all roll into Las Vegas knowing our destiny is owned by US once again!!
Have a GREAT Day!

1. Rick, I don’t know why Google is still not showing”jointventures.com” when I type”joint ventures” in the search bar (in India)
Are they sleeping?
2.”Jointventures” trademark was held by Stryker UK Limited in several categories. How can some one can get trademark for common term like”Jointventures”?

Bring it on. We will be part of it.

Yes, Google has been fiddling with search results to the point where if you search for your own domain you may not even be first on the list.
To me, Google clearly seems to be slanting searches towards higher use URLs and that coupled with greater favour towards sites with Checkout and Adsense makes no doubt in my mind they are slowly and irrevocably splitting searches into commercial (yellow) searches and information (white) searches.

“While others go home we still work. While others sleep we still work.” I love this from Rick.
I was telling always”it is easy to say than do it.” What Rick has been doing over the years is not an easy task. Once I was attending a conference by Thuraya Telecom. In the main hall, where the key speakers were giving lectures, volunteers submitting relevant brochures to attendees,preparation of video clips, photocopies, etc.etc. when I entered into the green room, I found a massive works project going on behind the audience, we could not imagine. Details you will guess by yourself. It opened by inner eyes how difficult successfully conducting, launching some vision. Rick today just mentioned a few words what & how he did things unfolded over these years. Folks! its not an EASY Task. So let us keep our fingers crossed.Criticism is good when it is constructive & productive. Let us limit to that as we wait for a great win by all.
Good Luck to Rick & Danny!
Gratefully,
Scott

Reading each day is like waiting on Christmas, and I can’t wait to see JV in action. The harvest is near…

@UFO: Interesting take.
This is why you can’t build your business based around Google (or any search engine or social networking site for that matter).

Hi Rick & Danny,
There will be a lucky few End Users who heed your call at first and then more and more as the word gets out about your successes. There is no higher or better use of an End Users time than to educate himself on the power of .COM foundations as a Strategic Asset in their arsenal for online success. Readers of your Blog, once educated, will come to realize that .COM Foundations are the most powerful Marketing Tool of all options available to them.

Hi Rick,
I am constantly surveying the Domaining Blogoshere and find most of the advice the Blog master is preaching is mostly a Buy Sell or trade short term philosophy. Giving little thought to long term patience in achieving their strategic assets Best and Highest use.
I found through experience on Wall Street that the most successful investors had long term horizons.This prevailing trader Mentality often indicates a lack of conviction as to the true value of the asset they are moving in and out of.
To find the Best and Highest use of a truly premium Domain Name or any Asset play is an art that separates the wheat from the chaff and I contend through experience, that flipping for a short term fix permanently sets you up as not being a participant at the table of creation for that assets highest and best use.
Patience is and always will be the KEY !
