The State of Your Life and the World Today

Sitting in Tampa and not really feeling like I live in Florida today. The weather is dreary with overcast skies and the rain falling in a steady drizzle. The best part of the whole day is that our good friend Charlotte is here for a few days from Atlanta and we are spending some quality time together.

I know there are a ton of people out there losing their jobs, savings, homes and a host of other things including their drive to make something happen in their lives. All you ever see on the stupid TV and newspapers are how bad the world is getting today and unemployment is reaching epidemic proportions.

I am almost to the point that I won't watch the news or read anything other than Parade magazine or the comics...yes, I still read them for the brief respite from everyday BS and all of the negativity around me. You really need to have a handle on your attitude or all the crap going on will drive you crazy.

I am a firm believer that for all of us to get through this time in the world, we are going to have to get out of our comfort zone and explore other options in our lives. I always keep telling myself, my wife and all of our friends that our days of the W-2 are over and it is a 1099 world now.

When you look at working for a big corporation please keep this one thing in mind. We had a good friend that was a year away from retiring, their company downsized and they were laid off from a job of over 28 years just before the golden retirement party. They still got something but not nearly what they deserved.

When you work for those corporations they they will control your life. People get laid off and the corporations look to the surviving people to do more but for the same (or less) pay. The have your back against the wall because people are terrified of losing their employment and will not say anything to "Rock The Boat".

I don't understand how people can let something have so much control over their lives. I fully understand that we all need some sort of income in order to pay our bills and lead a good life. I am just saying that you need to possibly look at being in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

There are so many good opportunities out there today but please beware...there are a ton of scams as well. When the economy gets this way then the freaking bottom feeders (I call them scumbags) come out to prey on the helpless and downtrodden.

These idiots are a pitiful excuse for people and in my opinion a waste of space and air so I put them in the same classification as palmetto bugs in Florida. I am a firm believer that those type of people will get theirs in the end...not sure what it will be but it is waiting on them. I take pride in what I do and sleep very well every night.

Look around and keep your eyes open because your life changing opportunity is just around the corner waiting on you. Maybe you aren't sure what it is, even if you are looking straight at it. It may be disguised as something you aren't even interested in, but please explore all your opportunities before making a decision about anything.

Get out of that comfort zone and open your eyes to all of the possibilities around you today. It is in times of economic hardship that millionaires are created because they can see the possibilities all around them. Don't be afraid to take a leap of faith and have the confidence in yourself to get it done because nothing in your life will change until you are willing to change it.

If you are afraid or unsure of things then just back up, regroup and look again. If you don't do it today the world is not going to stop turning, the sun will still shine and the moon will be just as pretty as ever. When you find the company that you like and they will give you what you need, then take that leap of faith and never look back.

Make sure you don't decide against anything because you don't totally understand it either. People should never turn their back on something they don't understand...that will be a HUGE mistake. If anything is that complicated then you should walk away from it very fast, because no one else will understand it either.

Another big thing you need to remember as well. Anything cheap will always give you cheap results as well. You have to spend money (not a lot) to make any money. NOTHING is free in this world so if you think it is, then get back on your spaceship and go back to your home planet to sell them on your FREE ideas because that stuff isn't happening here.

Success or failure starts in your head so control what the gray matter does and thinks of. If you think you can then you will...if you don't think you can then you won't. I am certain that has been said before sometime...as in countless times. So funny but it still holds true to this day.

So get off the couch, recliner, floor, bed or whatever and go out and make a difference in your life as well as others. It is ALL up to you and no one else is going to do it for you so just get going. Beware of all the scams that mention autopilot as well...no one earns money on autopilot. After you have been with a company for a few years it will get easier though because of leverage.

Always keep learning with your opportunity and never stop growing. Read and absorb everything you can to put the gray matter to work with something besides all of the negative BS in the world today. Here is another one...if you keep doing what you have always done then you will get what you have always gotten.

If you need some help or advice then get in touch with me, I am easy to find because I don't hide behind a PO box or a fake persona. My name is Don and my cell number is 813-842-6131 and you can actually pick up the phone and give me a call. I don't have all of the answers but I sure have more than a lot of the other so-called guru's.

So just get out there, do it and quit making excuses. Life goes by very fast so please make the most of it because someday it it will be out of your reach. Don't let life control you, you control your life because that is the only way to live life. Get in control, stay there and the rest of the world will be yours for the taking.

Marketing Success Secrets Of A Homeless Man

Earl Nightingale, in the world-famous motivational tape, "The Strangest Secret," defines success as the "progressive realization of a worthy ideal." Using that definition, success then, especially for any business owner or entrepreneur, may depend upon whatever ideal a person holds dear.

Beyond that, it may be measured by the reaching of goals set on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annually basis. You must get a clear picture of success in your head, otherwise how will you know when you get there?

Nearly every day, I see a man who appears to be homeless on the corner of the intersection of a major freeway in Miami, FL who we can classify as "successful," mainly because his marketing success causes him to thrive at getting (progressive realization) a good number of "donations" (his worthy goal) on a daily basis. Normally, I would never equate being homeless with being successful, although I know many good people who due to circumstances beyond their control, found themselves in that situation.

However, we cannot deny that this particular homeless man's marketing methods and tactics work for him. So we have established that by looking the part, this "entrepreneur," followed the first tenet of success for any business owner.

Very few people, if any, would give to a supposedly homeless man, decked out in the latest fashions complete with cell phone and accessories. But, without further investigation, he personified the old saying, "If it looks like a duck, quack likes a duck and walks like a duck; it must be a duck."

The second principle of his success shows that in spite of adversity, he projected great tenacity; no matter the time of day -- early morning, midday or late evening, you will find him plying his trade -- begging by the roadside. In fact, on many days, even in inclement weather, you could find him, much to the jeers of some passing motorists and competitors who wanted in on his turf.

In other words and with due respect to the inscription found on some U.S. Post Offices: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this homeless man from the swift completion of his appointed location." In their day-to-day goals, many business owners wish that they would do so well.

Merriam Webster states that tenacity means being "persistent in maintaining or adhering to something valued or habitual." Tenacity for business owners simply measures the persistency in your day-to-day work habits, goals and objectives.

Tenacity equals going for it -- in spite of your surroundings and situation. The fact that the homeless man focuses entirely on money causes me a problem because it compares with some people I know who go into business with making money as the sole purpose.

A capitalistic society encourages making money, but most professionals go into business to make a difference, to contribute to society, to help their clients, or to make the world a better place. To do so calls for real tenacity.

Tenacity means we focus on action with the end in mind. We don't just go through the motions. There's something higher that keeps us going, even when we don't want to go.

One of my friends, a successful businessman in Tampa, tells the story of him getting in trouble with the taxman. My friend basically squandered $90,000 and the tax official assigned to his case, threatened to close his business down.

He didn't possess the money to pay the bill, but knew certain high-paying projects, when completed would be enough to pay off the bill in full by the deadline. My friend came in early, stayed late, and often slept on the couch in the reception area of his office. In just a couple of weeks, he wrote a check for the full amount of the taxes owed.

When asked to describe how my friend could accomplish do so much in such a short time, his wife gave a one-word sentence. Tenacity.

I hope you are having a fantastic day…as I am and always do!

How to Become a Successful Entrepreneur

As you go through life you have two career options. One option is called security, or a job. The other choice is freedom, or to become an entrepreneur and start your own business.

Most people choose the first option and sadly, even though they think they have security, the reality is that they are usually living paycheck to paycheck, and are often in debt.

What kind of security is that? Many of these people are even making six figure incomes, but barely make enough to pay all of their expenses. This is because every time they get a raise or a bonus they quickly spend it on some material thing. They have nothing to show for all of their hard work except a pile of bills and a lot of useless stuff.

The security option is really a prison that drags you in and captures your life. All you have in this life is time, which I assure you is not meant to be herded around like a sheep. It should be spent taking action to achieve your goals so you can do whatever you want in life.

The second option, freedom, allows you to:
* Have anything
* Do anything
* Be everything you ever imagined.

You can change. You just simply have to believe in yourself and remember this: The path toward freedom will not be easy, that is why it is chosen by few. It will always be foggy, scary, and ever changing.

But isn't that how life is anyway? Life is scary, the future is always unclear, and the world is always changing. You just simply can't control that so don't go hide behind a job thinking that you can.

You will be left to retire and live off of half of what you made while you worked. That does not sound very secure, or like a lot of fun.

I was going through the line at the grocery store the other day and realized that the person bagging my groceries, it was usually some teenager, was an old man. I started asking him questions while he was bagging my groceries and got him to tell me a few things about himself.

His name was Carl and he was 74 years old. He has to bag groceries because he can't afford to pay the bills on his $1,000 a month pension alone. Carl used to work for one of the major car manufacturers in the United States. He worked there for 36 years.

A $1,000 a month retirement income sounded pretty good to Carl back in 1954. He did not take into account inflation and the ridiculous cost of living the twenty-first century has brought about. People like Carl are in trouble because life is only going to get more expensive.

He was a very nice man and I felt very bad for him. He did not necessarily do anything wrong, but I do know one thing about Carl. He chose the security path long ago and used to think he had it all figured out as he worked at his job through the 50's, 60's, 70's, and 80's.

During those years he thought he had all the security in the world. All he had to do was just go put his time in every week, and eventually he could retire and do whatever he wanted. I hope this doesn't sound familiar. If it does you need to do really sit down and ask yourself, what do I want?

Follow these steps in order to make it come true:
* Make a clear specific goal for yourself
* Visualize yourself attaining it
* Take Action and go do it!
* (Don't visualize yourself bagging groceries at 74)

I am not saying that you should quit your job right away and start a business out of nothing, just start to spend more time imagining what you want. Believe it or not eventually you will figure out how to do it.

Spend more time thinking about what you want and how to achieve it; it could really change your life. Get off the couch, away from the television, and spend time working on your business and your goals.

If you want more money, focus on making more money, not the burdens associated with being broke. Again, be specific as to how much you want. You can set short term and long term amounts. Think big, but do not think unrealistically for your current situation.

Most people do wish for money, but they wish on a whim for more money, without taking action. This leads nowhere. They will often play the lottery, or gamble thinking it will just fall out of the sky.

There is not a get rich quick scheme out there to solve your problems, but having specific goals and taking action to achieve those goals can lead you to places you may have never imagined possible. Take control of your life and either start a business or if you are already an entrepreneur, take it to the next level.

I hope you are having a fantastic day…as I am and always do!

MLM Success - Your Check Will Grow When You Grow

I want to make a fortune and I want to make it now…does that sound like you?

That's the attitude of the majority of people that start in MLM or network marketing. People that have been broke all of their lives or at the very least, just getting by, expect to be rich in no time when they start an MLM business.

Although MLM has literally changed the lives of so many people around the world, the real reason why people become successful is so simple. Two words. Personal growth.

Most of the time you will not become successful in MLM if you don't discover and fully embrace personal growth. Don't get me wrong you may experience some success, you may even have tremendous success, but it will only be a fraction of what you could gain if you were serious about becoming more than you are today!

We have a member of our team, who has been successful, but his success reached a peak and now his income has fallen.

Years ago it was obvious that this was coming but he wouldn't listen. He had begun to believe that he was a great leader when all he really cared about was himself, a sad fact that others began to see as well.

He didn't need to grow or learn from anybody because he knew it all. Because he was blessed with an outgoing personality and charisma he was able to become successful, but it was a house of cards that would not last. If only he would have been as committed to personal growth as he was to showing off, this never would have happened.

Ego. That little word has caused so much damage in so many lives, especially in MLM.

If you are new to MLM we hope that you will hear these words, your check will grow when you grow. We would never have experienced long term MLM success if we hadn't decided to listen and learn from other more successful people. So, what's the best course of action if you really want to experience MLM success?

Read the best success books you can get your hands on. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is still one of the best books to get you to start thinking differently. You are no longer an employee, you are now an entrepreneur, and entrepreneurs think differently than employees.

Stop listening to the radio and fill your mind with the vast storehouse of knowledge from Joyce Meyer, Jim Rohn, Les Brown and others. Make a decision to learn more so you can earn more. Find at least one or two people that will mentor you and hold you accountable so that if you start to believe that you are infallible they will straighten you out.

Although we are successful beyond our wildest dreams we still make mistakes and you will too. Nobody expects you to be perfect but if you are ever going to become really successful in MLM you will have to engage in a deliberate process to become more than what you are today.

I hope you are having a fantastic day…as I am and always do!

How to Save Time and Leverage Properly With Your MLM/Direct Selling Business

The hope of entrepreneurs lives and dies based on time. Money can really come and go, but the aspirations of so many entrepreneurs are fleeting because they don't know how to manage their business effectively.

They give up so quickly because of fear that time will catch up to them or that they will run out of money in the time they have allotted in their mind. The truth is that you can really always find money, you can't bring time back. These are some simple areas to look to leverage your time well to get to your success faster.

1. Money- You should look to save a lot and spend wisely. Many people put money in areas that are not going to bring them any money back.

2. New Associates- Get referrals from your customers and use it to impact others. This will save countless dollars in marketing and advertising.

3. Star Associates- Protect your most productive associates and use them as sounding boards for everything that you do. They have the understanding of what is going on in the battlefield and their opinions will always be valid. Be willing to wrestle ideas with a panel of members from your company to find out what will bring the greatest amount of success.

4. Systems- Learn how your business will operate the best and let it run by itself without you pulling it along. These systems have to be simple, easily understandable, and the most effective way to empower your associates with the steps they need to make you, and them, the most profit and people coming into their business.

5. Cutting Edge- Be ahead of the curve when it comes to technology and systems. You will be very attractive to customers, media, investors, and employees. Make sure your opportunity has the newest cutting edge product.

6. Research and Development- When you have found what areas you can improve in or gain ground on the competition then make sure that you move correctly to find out what the consumer is really missing today. Quality is a priority before quantity.

7. Create an Avalanche of Excitement- The funny thing is that you probably already have the answers to a lot of questions, but you are not looking close enough to see what is making your business special. Find that unique selling point and announce it to the world. You will create an impressive niche.

8. Reputation- Create a brand that is credible. How many commercials do we see of companies claiming to be patriotic and how that is supposed to appeal to an American consumer like apple pie? Create your own apple pie image that will make your Granny come with a fist full of dollar bills.

9. Focus- Don't multi-task or you will spread your energy and put in mediocre efforts and it will be noticeable after a while. Make a list and get it done in order each day. This will save you hours.

10. Walk Away- One of the hardest things that any entrepreneur can do is be willing to step back and let the process happen. Many want-to-be entrepreneurs feel it is necessary to micromanage every aspect and that will frustrate your associates and misuse their skills. You are only burying their talents and missing out on more financial success.

I hope you are having a fantastic day…as I am and always do!

How Are You Different and Unique…In The Sea of Competition?

What do you differently on a daily basis to make sure you aren’t just like everyone else doing the same old thing? How do you set yourself apart from the masses? How do you convince someone to join you and your business when everyone is pulling at them from all different directions?

Is there a huge trick to getting peoples attention to share your story with them, your “why”, the things that drive you and why you are the one they need to join. Is there a magical elixir that can be spread through the internet, phone lines, texting, through Skype or whatever, to get them to listen?

Are there trigger words, splash pages, auto responders, capture pages, mind control or emotions to get them interested in you and your opportunity? When you find out where any of the above stuff can be bought or rented from then let me know because I want to see a fool and his money parted.

There is nothing on the free market to be had that will give you the power to control people and make them do your bidding…at least not on this planet. Just look at all of the marketers on the net today trying anything and everything to part you with your money and they must have some of that coveted fairy dust that’s going around!

The big problem is that some people will believe all of the empty promises and BS. When this happens they waste their money, time and resources to go out and hustle for 6-8 weeks or longer, and not get anything in return for the work they have put in. This in turn gives them such a bad experience so they will never look at anything else.

The biggest secret to get people on your side and to like you is simply to be real, honest, a true friend and above all, just be yourself. Don’t try to be a fake, don’t try and sell anything to anyone or push them into doing anything they don’t want to do or anything there is any hesitation about.

You should offer to help them in any way you can, and mean it when you say it. If you don’t or won’t follow through on what you say or what you start then how can you expect anyone to respect or listen to you? When you do things the wrong way it will come back eventually and bite you where it hurts.

One of the worst things you can ever do is just throw your business in someone’s face with even asking if they really want to look at it. This is the biggest problem I see today on all of these social sites and people using them the wrong way. These sites are for making friends, contacts and developing relationships…nothing more!

You should make them aware you are in business and have information readily available if they want to explore it further, but let them make the decision when they are ready to look at what you offer and the things you can do for them. The worst possible thing you can do is try and shove something down their throat.

People do not want to be sold on anything; they want to sell themselves on it. This is just human nature and we can’t change it. I think it is due to 1000’s of years dealing with club and wheel salespeople from Stone Age times to used car salespeople today, no pun intended folks…I was one of those guys for 20 years before I found a way out.

You need to really care about and enjoy meeting and working with new friends. If you come across as anything else then people will shy away from you and tell their friends about it. If you come across as a salesperson then just quit what you are doing and go back to selling cars, wheels, clubs, houses or whatever it was that you were selling.

You see, there is a principle in our world called "The Value Proposition" and basically what that means is...

Money and Success will come back to you... when you offer enough value to the marketplace and the people you come into contact with. But most network marketers don't think like this and they are running around out there 'Spamming People'. One of the sites I am on is terrible for this so I am going to delete my account with them.

Every time someone puts a comment on this site and my page, (no names mentioned) all they are doing is “Spamming” me, and I hate it with a passion. I started out just stopping their emails and comments but other people have started doing it. No way would I ever pay any attention to these people because they do not have my best interest at heart.

When you really are trying to help people and are sincere about it then this is the way you will come across. If you try and “fake it till you make it” then you are just setting yourself up for failure and this is not the end result you are looking for. If you don’t have the right system and teacher this will be your end result.

Always treat people the way that you want to be treated, never lie, never make empty promises and always do what you say you are going to do. I know this is “old hat” to some of you but will be eye opening to others and they really are looking for that perfect opportunity so who knows…it could be you they are looking for, so treat them with the utmost respect when you come into contact with them.

They could be your next associate or business partner and will rely on you to help them get started off on the right foot…so don’t ever let them down.

I hope everyone is having a great day…as I am and always do!

The Keys for Success in Direct Selling and MLM

Have you ever given any thought really as to why most people aren’t successful and never will be? Or that some people just have success and they seem like they are not even really trying? Some of the biggest reasons most people don't find success is they will never pull the trigger and really do anything, some people are still looking for that “cheap” program to make them rich and most important is there is no system in place to insure them of a “predictable outcome” which is the money.

I get inundated on a daily basis with something I term as NBT…the “Next Big Thing” and the $10-$20 programs that will make me rich beyond my wildest dreams. There is never any work involved and I can do everything on auto-pilot, work 30 minutes a day and retire wealthy in 30-60 days…you have got to love that! I can take pictures for BIG money, sell the next big health juice, do affiliate marketing, sell Tupperware, get into cash gifting, work on Ebay, Amazon or do a travel website.

I really do wish all these folks the very best but...WAKE UP EVERYONE!!! There is NO $10 program out there that will make you rich, everyone and their brother is an amateur photog, there are hundreds, if not thousands of cash gifting programs, the affiliate marketing scenario is everywhere, Tupperware is history (do like my lovely wife and buy from HSN or QVC) there are hundreds of Travel Sites with cheap this or that and with Amazon or Ebay you have to constantly keep on top of everything so your information don’t get lost among the hundreds or thousands of other people doing the same exact thing!

If the vast majority of people really cared enough about their health to drink all the potions and health juices then every fast food joint in the country and around the world would close. Give me a break...not everyone cares and most never will! That is just not human nature and we have to accept it. The internet today is filled with so much stuff that is just “pure junk” so we have to sift through it to find anything that really works, and is not the “same old things” that are falling on deaf ears today. You have to be very careful with what you get yourself involved in as a bunch of these people are only interested in separating you from your money, then disappearing.

Why would you even think of doing something that everyone else is doing? You need to work on things that everyone else has not jumped into. You will have to make an investment into your business and your future if you are truly serious about what you want to achieve because nothing in life is free and the only thing $10 dollars will buy you is a six pack or a cheap bottle of wine. You need to get mad and upset (with yourself) when you see the people that are living the life they want and on their terms, not having to answer to someone else and do what they want, when they want to do it. I don’t care if you have $10 bucks in your pocket you need to take the posture that you have $500 because it is all about what you project and how people see you as an entrepreneur and the expert that you are.

Do you really know or has anyone ever told you what it really takes to be a success in anything? You have to be able to recognize when a business is credible and has huge potential and dig deep to see how results are produced through the systems available. You have to be able to follow a system that has already been proven to work because it is a well know fact that nothing will work without a system in place. The system has been proven to work time and time and time again. When there is not a great system then you are just out there floundering around with no specific direction and no end in sight which will not give what you are seeking, remember the “predictable outcome”?

You have to believe in yourself as an entrepreneur because if you don’t think you can do it then guess what...YOU CAN'T...and you never will unless you change that attitude. You have to make a commitment to succeed and let nothing or no one stand in your way or stop you. If you can't or won’t commit then just quit wasting yours and everyone else's time...life is too short for that. You have to take action and be a team player so quit getting ready to make your first million and take that first step. If you are afraid to take the leap then you need to back up from the edge, and move your life in another direction.

This is what the person that you get into business with, join, sign up under or build a business with should tell you. I'm not trying to "sell you" something or "enroll you" or make you believe that this is easy. I have nothing to sell you and I know I can't convince you. You have to convince yourself that lots of money and freedom is what you want. I'm not interested in you just signing up, but becoming successful. For that, you'll need to know what I know because we need to build a relationship and work together.

I'm more valuable to you than just a sponsor. I am your teacher and the teacher of the associates you bring into your business. I am a resource to you because I know more about the business than you do in the beginning, but I will teach you. I don't just talk about making "money", I want to make money but there are other things that are needed first. I show results, I offer solutions and I have marketing systems that work. I can give you advice and show you how to do it right the first time, but you will have to listen to me…because you need to learn.

I can and will, offer you the following five guarantees. I guarantee you that if you keep on doing the same things you are doing right now; your income will be the same. I will guarantee you that if you don't build and accumulate residual income; you will never be wealthy or free. I guarantee you that if you don't take risks, you won't ever get ahead. I guarantee you that if you stop working, for any reason, your income will stop. I will guarantee you that if I stop working; my income will grow because of my business model and the certain steps I take to again, assure myself of the “predictable outcome”.

It don’t matter what you decide to get involved in just remember this one thing also. No matter how good your product is, if you don’t have the perfect system in place, Save Yourself Stress Time Energy and Money, then chances are you will not be successful. Do you think that McDonald’s restaurants are so successful because their food is great or because it is good for you! They are so successful because they have a system in place that if you follow it, you will not fail. They have the system that will give you the predictable outcome, which is money. Ray Kroc sold people what they wanted with McDonalds, which was a system to make money.

I hope you have gained some insight on what it will take to be successful today in Direct Selling and MLM. This is the only industry that has seen steady growth and increase over the last 20 years with no signs of slowing down. There are literally thousands of people a week around the world that get involved with our industry but unfortunately, the vast majority of them will fail because of the reasons above. My friends, it doesn’t need to be that way as you will find success if you get involved with the right company, the right product, the right system and the right person.

Like myself, and my good friends and business associates Thea Woods, Gary & Joan Smith, Paul & Linda Pickern, Mark Robinson, Mike Alstott and Bryan & Robert Conley (the infamous Brooksville, FL twins) remind each other on a daily basis…never stop, never quit and never say “I can’t do it”, because you can. I think it is really cool how we all think alike because it is obvious we are on the same wavelength. You should never get to the point where you are making excuses all the time, giving up, letting the negativity get to you (like listening to so-called friends or family, who by the way, will be your worst enemy) or giving people the green light to steal your dreams. When this happens go find some new friends, hang out with successful people and tell your family to bug off, take a hike and come back after their negative attitude has improved…and it will sooner or later.

The Industry That Is Set For A MAJOR Explosion!

I usually tend to write all of my own material and not use other information I find all over the internet. Today though I am going to write and pass on something my friend Jonathan Budd sent me the other day. Jonathan is a very successful marketer and entrepreneur and is really committed to helping everyone he can. You can see more of him at: OnlineMLMSecrets.com so hopefully I can let more people know about him and his way of doing business.

The first thing I want to say is that the above link is not an affiliate link, I do not get anything for sending you to the link nor do I expect anything from Jonathan. I do this because he is a fantastic person and everyone can benefit from his expertise. He has been in the trenches, came out of them and rose up in a blaze of glory so Jonathan is the epitome of success and I would advise everyone to pay close attention to him.

In the event you do look over his information though, please feel free to tell him that Don Egnor sent you his way and I am a really cool person! Who knows…he may give me a gazillion trillion dollars for sending you in! In the event he does this then I will personally bail out our great country, fire a bunch of people and let the entrepreneurs run our country. At least if I can do this then the American people will have someone helping them that are actually in touch with reality.

First off…Jonathan and I could CARE LESS about what is happening in the economy. Now before you pull out the tar and feathers let me explain to you why I say that. We all need to fully realize that our financial situation and how much wealth we can create has nothing to do with what the masses are doing or what is happening in the economy. Just look at past history if you will for a moment…some of the greatest fortunes have been made in massive times of financial stress.

Money does not just disappear; no one is out there burning up money and money is always exchanging hands. When one group is losing money then another group is making it. All that is happening on our planet now is a transfer of wealth. Just look at it this way…the truth is starting to finally emerge. People were living on illusionary money because they bought more than they could afford and were borrowing money to do it. It was money they really didn’t have and was not in alignment with the “liquid capital” they created.

Money will be transferring from “old money” to NEW MONEY. More and more people will become wealthy because of what we are seeing right now and there is ONE industry (Network Marketing / Direct Selling) that is set for a major explosion. Traditional jobs are drying up, paying less and everything is getting tighter, especially consumer loans. You need to think about this…where are all the ambitious people going to be turning when they decide to take their financial life in their own hands?

They will be looking to the internet, direct selling companies, good MLM companies (they are out there) and finding the opportunities that will really let them have control over their life and everything that goes with it. Today you have the EXACT same opportunity in front of you and fortunes are being made as I am writing this.

The only question is…which path do you want to travel down? Do you want the path of scarcity and fear or do you want the path of abundance and appreciation? It’s really that simple. Once you pick which path you are traveling down…just eradicate everything else from mind that is counter to your choice. Reality is and always will be what you make of it. Your beliefs will shape your own life 100x times more than what is coming from the “talking heads” on your TV every single night & day.

I know there are fortunes that will be made as wealth transfers from one group to another. I know that our industry is going to be one of the last TRUE sources of real opportunity for people who have more spirit and determination to invest than they have money. There is plenty of money and abundance out there…you just have to want it bad enough and know the principles of attaining it.

There will be enormous amounts of people coming on line within the next 12-24 months and the internet is going to be awash with people looking to start a business and earn more income. There are 175,000 people in the US and over 500,000 worldwide that get involved in a Direct Selling/MLM company every week! We have the ONLY industry that in the past 20 years has steadily been climbing with NO DOWNTURNS.

Find yourself a GOOD company with great support; get hooked up with all of Jonathan’s information, let me help you (this is what it is all about anyway) take your destiny in your own hands and prosper in these times. Ask yourself this; if you were presented with the opportunity to take the reins of your own life and create your own destiny, would you really take it? Or would you make a bunch of excuses about why it’s impossible?

I hope you have enjoyed this and thanks again for letting me share information with you. As always, I also want to thank Jonathan for letting me use some of his writings. Jonathan, you are the best and truly an outstanding individual…may peace and prosperity always be with you my friend. Call or email me if I can ever help anyone, in any way!
