				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-5644" alt="new work schedule" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/work-schedule.jpg" width="355" height="274" />I&#8217;m not sure this is it for you, but one of the main reasons people get cold feet is because of the whole, &#8220;fear of the unknown&#8221; factor.</p>
<p>They just don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;d be doing once they get started in an opportunity like this&#8230;.<br />
&#8230;.mostly because they&#8217;ve never done anything like this before!</p>
<p>So, if I outlined my typical DAILY schedule for you, would that change things for you?</p>
<p>If you did EXACTLY what I do on a daily basis, this is what you&#8217;d be doing&#8230;.</p>
<p><span id="more-5643"></span><br />
<strong>6 am &#8211; 9am:</strong> Includes a 30 minute to 1 and a half hour workout, and driving my kids to school. Most of the time, I wake up at around 7:30 though. Still searching for the motivation to get up early.<br />
<strong> </strong><br />
<strong>9 am &#8211; 10 am:</strong> Breakfast and a shower, in no particular order!</p>
<p><strong>11 am &#8211; 1pm:</strong> Mostly income producing activities such as checking and answering emails, I place at least one ad, I write a blog post and post it to my Facebook, Google plus and LinkedIn accounts. I also write an email to you during this time.</p>
<p><strong>1 pm &#8211; 2 pm:</strong> Lunch, playing with 1 year old son, etc.</p>
<p><strong>2 pm &#8211; 5 pm:</strong> Non-income producing activities such as listening to audios or watching training videos, which teach me how to market better, help my team make more money and increase my knowledge. I also use this time to make training and marketing videos for my team and marketing efforts.</p>
<p>My kids get home from school at around 2:30 everyday, so I usually take a 30 minute break in there to see how their day went. The rest of the evening is spent with family.</p>
<p>No alarm clock. No boss. Only my schedule.</p>
<p>Full time for me is 3 to 4 hours of work a day. Part time is 2 hours a day.</p>
<p>So tell me&#8230;.does this sound enticing at all to you?</p>
<p>Come join me&#8230;and create your own custom work schedule.</p>
<p>Your world becomes an entirely different place when your day is truly yours.</p>
<p>It sure has made the difference in mine.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve pulled off some pretty cool pranks in my lifetime, but this is, by far, the best April Fools prank I&#8217;ve done to this day! About half of my extended family was in utter shock and the other half wasn&#8217;t fooled at all&#8230;.because they know better.</p>
<p>But there were a few who actually thanked the Lord, until they found out that it was just a prank&#8230;.<br />
&#8230;..after which, they were furious!</p>
<p>It was a simple post to Facebook.</p>
<p><strong>Here it is&#8230;&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-5620"></span></p>
<h2>My Best April Fools Prank Yet</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img style=' display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;'  class="size-full wp-image-5621 aligncenter" alt="Best April Fools Day Prank for Entrepreneurs" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/aprilfools.jpg" width="424" height="474" /></p>
<p>That was the best prank I could think of! I know, I lack creativity at times.</p>
<p>But just like John says in the image above&#8230;..&#8221;That will never happen.&#8221;</p>
<p>When would I EVER give up a life of freedom for a life of bondage? I can&#8217;t explain to you in words how passionate I am about that.</p>
<p>Maybe you feel the same way, and maybe you don&#8217;t. But I can tell you this, unless you experience this kind of freedom, you really have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>Let this sink in, <a href="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/empower-network" target="_blank">this opportunity</a>, the Empower Network, can give you the freedom you seek.</p>
<p>TIME and MONEY.</p>
<p>Isn&#8217;t that what we all want? More time and money to do as we please, when we please?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s more within your grasp than you think. Seriously!</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the alternative? You can always go back to doing what you&#8217;ve been doing!</p>
<p>But I bet you won&#8217;t. I bet you&#8217;ll get started and find what you&#8217;ve been looking for all along.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5611" alt="vdi monitoring" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/vdi-monitoring-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" />Several years ago, I had a job. I know&#8230;you&#8217;re shocked, right? Heck, I even have a hard time believing myself when I say things like that. But yeah, I once worked for a popular domain registrar, which goes by the name of GoDaddy. It was there that I gained valuable experience in DNS and troubleshooting hosting issues, which I&#8217;ve used many times since.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t say I know it all, but I know more than I knew before. And one of the things I learned there was their ability to maintain a controlled environment for their employees, an environment in which they could stay productive. With so many computers, and people working on those computers, it would seem to be a difficult task to keep them focused on their job, instead of browsing the internet all day.</p>
<p><span id="more-5610"></span></p>
<p>Besides splitting the floor up into teams, and placing a supervisor over each team, they also were able to control your desktop through <a href="http://www.aternity.com/solutions-it-initiatives-vdi.htm" target="_blank">VDI monitoring</a> software. I like to call them the Oompa Loompa&#8217;s, because they were the guys behind the scenes that you never really get to see much of, yet they do everything! So the guy next to me could have access to more troubleshooting tools, being considered &#8220;Hosting Certified,&#8221; while I was stuck with the basic tools of a greenie.</p>
<p>But at least I knew that if I was having trouble with my desktop, I could just call up the Oompa Loompa&#8217;s and they&#8217;d take over my screen, fix the issue and send me on my way.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no better way to manage that size of a work force.</p>
<h2>VDI Monitoring in Network Marketing?</h2>
<p>Which brings me to my comparison. I think that some people who jump into network marketing for the first time expect that kind of support. They expect to see some sort of VDI monitoring or remote desktop help, especially when they get stuck in their marketing efforts. Instead of doing what every successful entrepreneur has done, which is figuring it out, they look to the Oompa Loompa&#8217;s&#8230;.which don&#8217;t exist in network marketing.</p>
<p>In nearly every home based business I&#8217;ve been involved in, all of them had some sort of a system to follow. And that system involved several main steps one must duplicate in order to experience success. Everything else outside of those steps had to be figured out. That&#8217;s what separates the winners from the losers.</p>
<p>Heck, that&#8217;s probably the main reason I&#8217;m still an entrepreneur. I don&#8217;t want anyone telling me what I do or do not have access to, and I actually enjoy &#8220;figuring things out.&#8221; It&#8217;s a game!</p>
<p>So if you think you have what it takes to, as I said earlier, &#8220;figure it out,&#8221; then take action today. If not, that&#8217;s okay too. Some people really enjoy those &#8216;controlled environments.&#8217;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright  wp-image-5508" alt="Glad I'm not Obama!" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/obama-rock-symbol-300x224.jpg" width="273" height="204" /></strong>If can think of the ultimate you, the person you see yourself as when you have reached ultimate success, not just financially, but in every aspect of your life&#8230;what does that look like?</p>
<p>Are you ripped, rich and famous, or does any of that matter to you? Maybe you&#8217;re the &#8220;down to earth&#8221; rich guy that still wears his paint stained jeans around town, yet, has all the money in the world?</p>
<p>For me, I know EXACTLY what the ultimate me looks like.</p>
<p>And with that knowledge, I also know EXACTLY what I don&#8217;t want to be like.</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s a few guys I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not like, in several ways and for many different reasons. You may be offended, heck, you might even agree with my picks. Whatever your stance, at least it&#8217;s a stance.</p>
<p><span id="more-5473"></span></p>
<h2>I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not that guy!</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright  wp-image-5475" alt="Richard Simmons" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/simmons2-174x300.jpg" width="122" height="210" /></strong></span><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>#1</strong></span> on my list is <strong>Richard Simmons</strong>. I&#8217;ve got tons of respect for the guy and all he has accomplished in his lifetime. He&#8217;s an inspiration to many. So me saying that I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;m not that guy to Richard Simmons isn&#8217;t anything against him personally. I just don&#8217;t know how he gets away with wearing some of the things he does, being a man and all. There are all kinds of different types of &#8220;males&#8221; in the world, but my vision of a what a man is does not involve striped shorty shorts.</p>
<p><strong>Glad I&#8217;m not that guy!</strong></p>
<p><img style=' float: left; padding: 4px; margin: 0 7px 2px 0;'  class=" wp-image-5509 alignleft" alt="Sensitive Man" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/sensitive-man-300x211.jpg" width="189" height="133" /><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>#2</strong></span> is a character in the movie, &#8220;Bedazzled,&#8221; with Brendan Frasier. Sunsets are inspirational, but not enough to cry&#8230;and some people look good in turtle neck sweaters, I do not. To clarify, I like to watch his movies and think he&#8217;s hilarious. I&#8217;m just glad I&#8217;m not the &#8220;Sensitive&#8221; guy he plays in the movie.</p>
<p><strong>Glad I&#8217;m not that guy!</strong></p>
<p><strong><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright  wp-image-5507" alt="guy taking a pircture of himself flexing in mirror" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/guy-flexing-in-mirror.jpg" width="149" height="194" /><span style="font-size: large;">#3 </span></strong>is any dude who takes pictures of himself without a shirt on in front of their bathroom mirror, and then uses that picture for their Facebook profile or some other social network. I&#8217;m not a woman or anything, at least not last time I checked, but I think most of them think less of guys who do that. Your not impressing anyone.</p>
<p><strong>Glad I&#8217;m not that guy!</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>#4</strong></span> is <strong>President Obama</strong>. Of course I had to throw something political into my list. Although he is in a position of power and has the ability to truly make a difference, for the good, in this nation, I don&#8217;t feel he has done that. Not every President of the Unites States is loved by every citizen in this country, I know that. In Obama&#8217;s case, he is either extremely loved or extremely hated. There&#8217;s not much in between.</p>
<p><strong>Glad I&#8217;m not that guy!</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-full wp-image-5512" alt="Miserable Employee" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/burnt-out-employee-200x300.jpg" width="200" height="300" />#5 </strong></span>trumps them all. Out of everyone on and off this list, this is the one I&#8217;m most grateful NOT to be.<strong> It&#8217;s an employee.</strong></p>
<p>Some of you may feel I&#8217;m being ungrateful, conceded, self righteous and judgmental. Go ahead a feel that way. I have nothing against those who have jobs, the world needs people to fill those positions. Not everyone can run their own business. Not everyone can have the discipline to choose their own work schedule and remain productive, work through the night to complete a project, give themselves a raise, pay cutt or a day off, or deal with the stress of not having a bi-weekly paycheck. That&#8217;s why we need employees.</p>
<p>You see&#8230;I&#8217;ve been both, and now that I&#8217;ve experienced both sides, I&#8217;ve become the most miserable employee. I remember the days of waking up to an alarm clock, packing my lunch and heading off to work for nine hours of the day. I remember the work cubicle, the time clock and the boss&#8230;.and I despised every single second of it. Maybe I just didn&#8217;t have the right job. Who knows?</p>
<p>In my eyes, miserable employees are entrepreneurs in the making. The only difference between those employees and entrepreneurs, is that one has already taken action because if he were to stay stagnant for one more minute, he&#8217;d burst out of his skin.</p>
<p>As an <a href="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/is-it-time-for-a-career-change/" target="_blank">employee</a>, someone can go on hating their job for a very, very long time. Yet, they&#8217;ll get up tomorrow morning, pack their lunch and head out to work, just like they&#8217;ve been doing for the last however long&#8230;.because they&#8217;re terrified to change their situation.</p>
<p><strong>Change takes courage.</strong></p>
<p>And for those of you who <a href="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/avoid-the-employee-rut/" target="_blank">despise your jobs</a>, no matter what job that is, it&#8217;s time for a change to happen. Maybe you&#8217;ve looked into something before, yet, you didn&#8217;t act. Next time you&#8217;re faced with that decision, ask yourself this one question, &#8220;If I don&#8217;t get started, what&#8217;s the alternative?&#8221;</p>
<p>The alternative is&#8230;.you can always go back to what you&#8217;ve been doing&#8230;working for someone else instead of yourself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/empower-network" target="_blank">Make the change.</a> I believe in you. You can do it.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style=' float: right; padding: 4px; margin: 0 0 2px 7px;'  class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5211" alt="Career Change" src="http://www.createfinancialwealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/career-change_scrabble-300x200.jpg" width="300" height="200" />Making a <em>career change</em> can sometimes feel like jumping from one side of the Grand Canyon to the other. Leaving the familiar, or the things you&#8217;re in the habit of doing every day, can be a little uncomfortable, especially if you&#8217;ve been doing those things for a long period of time.</p>
<p>Those of you who have recently gone through a career change know what I&#8217;m talking about. It can be tough, but we have to be honest with ourselves,<strong> it would probably be tougher having to endure a lifetime without the career change</strong>!</p>
<p>So instead of submitting ourselves to a lifetime of misery, doing something that brings absolutely zero satisfaction, changing careers is the only course of action to take.</p>
<p>But when most people think of a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">career change</span>, they&#8217;re thinking of changing from one job to the next. I recently had a conversation with a neighbor of mine who is sick and tired of his current career as a teacher. Part of his desire for change is his current income and long term earning potential. So naturally, he&#8217;s looking into his career change options, and this is a prime example. He&#8217;s considering going back to school to become a nurse. So his outlook on changing careers involves jumping from one job into another.</p>
<p><span id="more-5210"></span></p>
<p>That&#8217;s not a bad thing. It&#8217;s just the way most people think. If you&#8217;ve only known a job your entire life, a job is most likely what you&#8217;ll change into again.</p>
<h2>My Challenge to those looking for a Career Change</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re currently in a job and are about to make a career change, <strong>consider the option of changing into an Entrepreneur</strong>. Start a business instead of starting a new job! Sure, it may take a little more preparation, but the rewards are far more rewarding.</p>
<p>Actually, I need to correct that last phrase. The rewards are far more rewarding if you choose the right business model. Owning a business that seems more like a glorified job is not what I call rewarding. An example of such a business would be a franchise owner. I&#8217;ve met owners of Subway&#8217;s, Quizno&#8217;s, Little Ceasar&#8217;s and other similar franchises who are tied down to their business for 12 or more hours a day. Thus, all they did was purchase themselves a glorified job.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to buy a franchise or invest in any other business, make sure your income will be great enough to hire employees to run the business for you. Otherwise, it defeats the purpose.</p>
<p>A career is considered a person&#8217;s lifework. It&#8217;s your course or progress through life! Make a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Career_change" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">career change</a> that will be impactful!</p>
<h3>Consider this Career Change Option</h3>
<p>Instead of looking at a brick and mortar business, one that requires a store front, look at starting a business online.</p>
<p>Obviously, by looking at the banners on my website and the nature of my blog posts, it&#8217;s apparent that I&#8217;m an internet marketer. I make my living mostly online. <strong>I teach others who are looking for a career change, how to make a full time income working from home.</strong></p>
<p>At one point in my life, I had to take that jump across the Grand Canyon of all Grand Canyons. I transitioned from a job into entrepreneurship and it hasn&#8217;t always been the easiest path, or the most accepted path amongst family, but it has definitely been one of the best decisions I have ever made.</p>
<p>Once you learn how powerful and lucrative starting a home based business can be, you&#8217;ll never want to go back to the job you came from. It will change your entire perspective about how to make money and will give you the time freedom you&#8217;ve never been able to experience before.</p>
