Walt Disney Resort
In 1955, the first Walt Disney Resort opened in Anaheim, California. It was extremely popular, but despite its success, market research revealed that only two percent of visitors that came to the resort were from east of the Mississippi River. The Walt Disney Resort was failing to attract people from the region where three quarters of the American population actually lived. Founder Walt Disney was also unhappy with many of the businesses that had sprung up around Disneyland and wanted more control over a larger area of land.

Slaves to land, the policies of Land Affairs
The land that peasant farmers, or shack-dwellers, live on is frequently either public land, or land that vests in a tribal chief. The residents act to improve that land in some form, either by farming it or building a home on it. Neither the improvement or the land are theirs to trade.
Selling Insurance in the Land of Opportunity
Okay, so right now it looks like the land of barren desperation. You get a “no” before you even open your mouth. Your appointment book is empty and if something doesn’t happen soon you’ll have a matching bank account. So what’s this baloney about the land of opportunity?

Investing in the Invisible
If you’re a business owner, you might be surrounded by sea, but you know there is land out there somewhere and you are determined to find it. You are investing in the invisible – the land you can’t see yet is the land of your dreams, your goals, and your brilliant, successful future filled with riches, profits, and rewards. If you’re thinking of becoming a business owner, you’re thinking about investing in that same invisible, glorious dream.
Applying the 80/20 rule

Underwater Mortgage Meltdown: What Caused This Mess?
Roughly a quarter of homeowners in the U.S. are dealing with an underwater mortgage, and that number is probably going to rise to as high as a third. How did this happen? Wasn't residential real estate supposed to be the one guaranteed solid business investment a family could make? Well, have you ever heard the phrase “land speculation”? Because what it comes down to is that's what our whole country has been doing for more than 15 years. Here's what happened. In the 1990s, the federal government and Congress got the brilliant idea that more people should be able to actually own their home-that home ownership was the “American Dream,” and that little things like being able to actually afford a mortgage didn't matter quite so much.

State and local governments can use their neighborhood stabilization grants to acquire land and property; to demolish or rehabilitate abandoned homes; and to offer down payment and closing cost assistance to low- to moderate-income homebuyers. In addition, the grantees can create “land banks” to assemble, temporarily manage, and dispose of vacant properties.
Is it the law of attraction, or the law of hard work? You decide.
I’m a bit sick of all the bogus information I read about “the law of attraction.” I have seen everything from “just sit there,” to “meditate and focus on your dreams, and everything will come to you.” If you believe this, I have some land in Florida I want you to buy. Well, it’s under water, but if you just picture dry land in your mind, and concentrate really, really hard, you can just lay on your couch, eat a few donuts, all the water will evaporate, and the Garden of Eden will appear.
