“The most important investment you can make is in yourself.”

Warren Buffett, one of the smartest and most successful businessmen of our time, was recently asked what he thought was the best investment anyone could make in difficult times.

His answer was fast and simple …

“The most important investment you can make is in yourself.”

That could very well be the best advice Mr. Buffett has ever offered. If ever there was a time to take control of your future, it’s NOW.

A free-falling stock market is jeopardizing the comfortable retirement of millions. Once rock-solid, mainstay companies are struggling to survive. Millions of blue and white-collar jobs are on the line.

And a lot of experts agree — the worst is yet to come.

But there’s a small group of people who have risen above it all.

Those who don’t have to worry about a free-falling stock market, or even if their jobs are going to be there at the end of the day.

In fact, these people don’t even have “jobs” as most people know them.

On a typical day, they’ll wake up, make a cup of coffee, chat with friends, maybe go for a run or get a little exercise …

And when they’re good and ready, they’ll saunter over to their computer and begin their day.

No alarm clocks buzzing. No drive through rush-hour traffic. No bosses looking over their shoulder.

They don’t even have to get dressed if they don’t want to!

Yet they have an opportunity to make much more money than the average full-time “work-a-day” Jane…

$50,000.

$100,000.

$200,000.

Others (who choose to spend more time at it) are making $500,000 a year or more.

Better still, they’re making that kind of money doing fun and interesting “work.” Using their minds and their creativity, while providing an essential, very-much-in-demand service to a $19 billion (and still growing) industry that’s virtually recession-proof.

And it’s all because they took Mr. Buffett’s good advice long before he gave it:

They made a simple, yet all-powerful, investment in themselves that will pay off for them for the rest of their lives.

Those people are us!

Are You Really an Entrepreneur?

I have a BIG question for you that you have NO choice but to answer if you want to know, without a shadow of doubt, if you will be successful or not.

Here’s how it is …

“Wanna-Be’s” seek a perfect plan and wait for the perfect time. “Entrepreneurs” execute and take action when they see an opportunity. Period. End of discussion.

Entrepreneurs accept educated risk and are able to make big decisions quickly once they have all the information. They make a decision and take some risk. No successful entrepreneur ever accomplished anything significant by playing it safe!

Stop waiting for the perfect time, the perfect opportunity, or the perfect situation. Take decisive action now and stop procrastinating. If you’re stuck in the “Wanna-be” camp, it’s time to get out…and join the “Entrepreneur” camp.

Don’t avoid the question. You deserve to be completely honest with yourself.

So….. which camp are you in?

When you are ready to join the “Entrepreneurs”.
I’m here to assist you.

Healthy Skepticism

We know how much hype is out there on the Internet about making money. And we know that the idea of earning a multiple 6 figure income in the next 12 – 18 months probably “sounds too good to be true” to some people.

But, think about this: If you’re always going to shy away from things that sound GREAT then you’re basically going to always stay stuck where you are.

This information will survive healthy skepticism. Just make sure you’re not letting past baggage keep you from moving forward.

Take The Entrepreneurial Leap and Stop Climbing The Corporate Ladder

How important it is to take the entrepreneurial leap and

stop climbing the corporate ladder.

Now that you’re ready to take action and leave the daily grind
behind, how are you going to find the right, profitable, legitimate
business?

First, beware of business advertisements that make unrealistic promises, selling you on the concept of “overnight wealth and success”.

When you find someone with a business that interests you, spend a
little time to get to know the person. Ask the right questions and
be sure their business offers the following 3 things:

1. Profitable Products

Look for high-priced, big profit products that deliver exceptional
value. Why? Because it will take you the same amount of time, money
and energy to sell a product with a small commission as it will to
sell a product that can make you several thousand per sale.
2. Back-End Sales

Make sure the business has a back-end product line that increases
in price, value, and profit. Why? Because your repeat customers
will make you bigger profits on their second, third and fourth
purchases.
3. Residual Income

It is important that you are rewarded, as a business owner, and have
the opportunity to create true wealth. The only way true wealth is
created is through passive, residual income. That’s income that you
do not have to work for everyday. That’s true financial freedom.

In the meantime, if you want to see an example of a business with
high-profit products, serious back-end potential, plus residual income, contact us!

What Is It That People Look For? Think…..

• WHY are people constantly looking for something better
• HOW MUCH of an income you would like to earn in the next 12 months
• WHAT that money is for and what your lifestyle would look like when you reach that goal

We’ve learned a few things over the years about wealth creation and one of them is this:
If you don’t know what the money’s for…you CAN’T GET THE MONEY!

People don’t really want the money. They want what the money will DO.
• It’s about not missing your children’s sporting events because you had to work late
• It’s about not seeing your spouse going to a job they hate every day
• It’s about getting out of that crowded apartment into a house Or out of that house and into a dream home!

What’s YOUR motivation?

Once we are clear on what you are looking to achieve, the rest is easy.

Is It Real? Is It True?

Network Marketing – Is It Real? Is It For You?

The truth about Network Marketing… If you are reading this it may be because you have been introduced to Network Marketing.
You are probably doing your own research as to if you should Join Network Marketing or not.

If you are reading this it may be because you have been introduced to Network Marketing. You are probably doing your own research as to if you should Join Network Marketing or not.

You may have seen on the Internet comments that vary from “Network Marketing Is a Scam” to others that bring out the fact that “Network Marketing Is Actually An Incredible Opportunity.”
So who should you listen to?

Well, first of all I believe you should listen to your common sense, but please give me the permission to explore this with you…
Let me lay it all out for you here, because I don’t have any attachment no matter what you choose to do (remember how over 90% that claim that ‘Network Marketing is not a REAL business’ come from people who offer you another solution … their business opportunity… hmmm, do you think they may have a financial interest by putting down a industry or company so that they can hopefully get you to sign up with their company instead?… (hmm, something to think about I guess)

Let me share with you what Dr. Steve Price, an extremely successful author, speaker and business owner has to say about these whiners. Here we go:

“Why Whiners Rule The Web?
Negative blogs and complaint sites dominate cyberspace. Why? Because world wide web empowers a few mean-spirited… misinformed… and misguided malcontents to spread negativity about legitimate companies and reputable people.
They call themselves crusaders. But I call them “World Wide Whiners” because they’re really just crybabies! They’re not really attacking flawed companies and individuals, like they say on their sites.
What they’re really attacking is success!
Other people in the same industries as Whiners are successful. Other people in the same industries as Whiners are accomplishing their goals. Other people in the same industries as Whiners are living their dreams.
But Whiners aren’t.
So, rather than taking responsibility for their failures, they blame others and use the Internet to broadcast their complaints into the world. Look around and you’ll see a pattern among the World Wide Whiners:
Winners are positive.
Whiners are negative.
Winners make money.
Whiners make excuses.
Winners take responsibility.
Whiners take advantage.
Winners build up.
Whiners tear down.
Winners attack problems.
Whiners attack winners.
Whiners thrive on the Internet because they know that someone, somewhere, will listen and take their whining to heart.
Just don’t let this be you! “

How to Quit Your Job and Achieve Financial Independence.

Here is the most important advice we have to give you on
How to Quit Your Job and Achieve Financial Independence.

Hopefully over the past few months you’ve realized your motivations,
examined your options and made a decision.

Now you must simply take action!

Burn the Boat.

Get rid of whatever is holding you back — whatever isn’t working
for you right now. Make the commitment to change your life and your
financial future.

You can start by making time to become free.

We submit that not making time is the number one reason why there
are so few people who are Financially Independent. Most are just too
busy working 60-80 hours a week making someone else rich.

True Financial Independence requires sacrifices and only begins
when you’re willing to take the very first Leap.

So light a match–burn the boat, climb down off the ladder and call
us today – your Financial Independence depends on it.

Creating Opportunity

This small article came to my inbox this morning and on reading its content it resonated with all that I speak about and also what I have to offer others in life to allow them to create an opportunity better than the current life they may lead.

Its so important to look at opportunities that present themselves in our lives regularly and then take the appropriate action.

Creating Opportunity by Jim Rohn
An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.

To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It’s to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves… regardless of the economy.

A person with an enterprising attitude says, “Find out what you can before action is taken.” Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what’s to come.

Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren’t lazy. They don’t wait for opportunities to come to them; they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.

Enterprise is two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see what’s out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.

What goes hand in hand with the creativity of enterprise is the second requirement: the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.

And lastly, being enterprising doesn’t just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self-worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so, you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self-worth—your enterprising nature.

Focusing and Acting on Your Dream ~ by Les Brown

I was reading some recent articles and stories and came across this one and really wanted to share this as it resonates with me in achieving greater results in life.
Enjoy the read…….

Whatever dream you decide to go after, whether it is a family, or a career goal, you must consciously decide that it is your life’s mission. Benjamin Disraeli said, “The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” You must go at it obsessively and set high standards for yourself along the way. There is no room for compromise when you are charting a course for your life or your career.

I spoke to a group of sharp young people not long ago, and when I finished, some of the fellows came up and said they were interested in becoming professional speakers. They invited me to go out with them that evening to have a good time. These fellows looked as though they knew how to have a serious good time.

I had planned to work on my delivery that night by listening to the audio of my speech. I record my speeches and listen to them later so I can study what works and what does not work with a particular audience. In effect, I listen to the audience listening to me.

I was tempted to go with these fellows, and back when I was their age I probably would have given in to that temptation and gone. But I have become more disciplined and more committed to my craft. A friend of mine, Wes Smith, wrote a humor book called Welcome to the Real World, and in it he offered advice to fresh high-school and college graduates. He had a line in the book that pertains to the situation I faced that night. It said, “Having a drink with the boys after work every night is a bad idea. Notice that the boss doesn’t do it. That is why he is the boss, and they are still the boys.”

Wes told me that he wrote that line with one particular group of hard-partying young businessmen in mind, and five years after the book came out, he ran into one of them. The guy volunteered that he’d read that line in Wes’s book and decided never to go drinking after work again. It paid off, he said. He had risen to a vice-presidency at a savings and loan.

In my drive to become a public speaker, I developed that kind of focus, too. There is not a lot of time for hard partying if you are pursuing greatness. It was not that these young fellows weren’t serious about their interest in professional speaking, but they were just as serious about having a good time. I don’t believe they were focused on their goals. They were seeking a profession, but they were not on a mission to make a dramatic difference in the world. I am. You should be too.

Rather than the party crowd, I prefer to seek out people with knowledge that might be useful. I like to find out what books successful and intelligent people are reading. I want access to the information that contributes to their success and intelligence

*Discover the Power of Commitment*

Commitment is the Foundation for building your life.

Entrepreneurs Make Bold Decisions In Life In Order To Create Success.

Make Bold decisions in life which allow you to move forward . Well how do you do this? Identify the decision for you and what is it you want, then gather the information so you can then start the move forward! Source : BFE

Decisions are important because they are what we use to direct our life and a tool to create everything we have and experience. Bring about self confidence and self esteem! Source: BFE

Lean from the experts!
Why continuous learning? Consider these facts…

1) The average person will increase their salary by only 2-3% annually.

2) Each year inflation increases by approximately 2-3% annually.

3)That means that, without lifelong learning, it’s virtually impossible for the average person to get ahead.
However…

1) Top Achievers, people who are continually learning and growing, DOUBLE their income every 3-5 years.

2) This is why the top 10-20% earns more than the bottom 80%! To separate yourself from the pack, you often need to know just one additional skill…and that will make all the difference in your pay scale.

Finding Your North Star & Asking Your Future Self

What Is It For You?…

1. Statistics show that the common denominator between successful people is that just days before their business or life exponentially increased and began showing signs of improvement, they felt futility of their hard work and had ‘thoughts’ at one time or another of stopping….but thankfully they didn’t!

Imagine this for yourself!

Don’t quit, even when it feels like hard work, or you’re under valuing your efforts and your self critique is high. Keep going, you could just be nearing the ‘Breakthrough’ to your own Success!

2. Entrepreneurs believe in themselves, even when no one else does, and, they cannot explain why they believe in themselves because it’s a faith that comes from inside beyond words or justification.

Every time a successful business person is interviewed and asked ‘what kept you going’ or ‘what made you know this was a winner?’, the answer is the same……..’I believed it could happen and then I found the way to make it happen’.

Believe in yourself, even if no one else does. Dare to allow your dreams be the barometer that guides you from week to week as you discover your way to success.

Success is different for everyone, so don’t compare what other’s are doing as their dreams are theirs and Your Dreams are Yours. Your dreams are no less important than any one else’s!
