Since our move from Pinetop to Payson Arizona we have been able to enjoy a few quick trips down to the Phoenix area. Where it would take 3 hours from Pinetop it now is only an hour away and so these few quick trips happen a little more often. This past Saturday we decided to do a quick trip to the Phoenix Zoo. So we packed the kids in the car and took off.

The Zoo was pretty packed when we got there. We actually drove around for 25 minutes before we finally found a spot, and guess where it was? It was right up front!! That’s the law of attraction in the works right there!

The kids had a blast. Animals, Kennel Corn and Snow Cones make up for a great time when you have children. It was cool to see the excitement on their faces. I asked them what their favorite part was and you won’t believe what they told me. When we were looking at the Rhinos, one of them decides to let go of nearly 50 lbs of dung and urine no further than 20 feet from us. So yeah, that was their favorite part!

The point of my post is not to tell you of the great time we had but to speak about Elephants. Here is an interesting fact that you all may not be aware of: Elephants in captivity die 20 years sooner than those that live in the wild! Elephants in the wild will travel nearly 25 miles a day where animals in captivity don’t. Now the biggest killer of Elephants in captivity is their feet. Zoo keepers are constantly cleaning and taking special care of their feet because they don’t have the opportunity to wear down the bottoms of their feet while in captivity while those that live in the wild have little trouble at all. Elephants in the wild will normally live up to around 80 years old.

You know, I think there is a little more to it. The professionals blame these early deaths on foot trouble and that may be part of the issue, but let me throw this idea out there. The elephants natural home involves a seven letter word, “Freedom!” They go from traveling 25 miles a day in the open to maybe just 5 miles of the same old cage. Even if they were born in captivity, it still runs through their veins. They are animals that were created to be free and to roam in their domain. How would that feel to know you were capable of more, yet, you were being constrained or held back from what should be natural?

It is amazing to see the growth in the people I assist every day in this business. Especially when they are coming from a place of captivity. If we all truly understood what we were capable of, the world would be a very different place!

I would be interested to know the average life expectancy of a person that works in a cubicle for an employer for his entire life versus an entrepreneur who travels frequently and has complete control over his time. I bet the stats are somewhat similar. I know for sure which of those two people would experience the most joy in life.

You see, there are different forms of captivity. When you take a look at an Elephant in the zoo, one might think, “Wow, now that’s captivity!” On the other hand, is being cooped up in a job any different. It’s basically a lighter form of house arrest. We can call it ‘commercial arrest’. After you are finished doing your time, you are allowed to go home for a few hours for relaxation, but, you had better be back the next day to do it all over again. What sounds enticing about that?

My advice: Make absolute certain that you are living your life as freely as you possibly can. You will be happier, you will experience more joy and you will live longer. And I sure hope it doesn’t take a trip to the zoo to help you realize that!

As you all know I am a huge movie watcher. I don’t really care for TV shows but love the movies. BraveHeart! What a great movie with a great message. Yeah, I know that a ton of people had to die to get this great message across, but even past all the blood and gore in the movie, it had a great plot. The plot of freedom. It shows how average people become great and accomplish great things. Where there is a will, there is a way and where there is passion, many will follow.

Inspirational Quotes from Braveheart

How many of you who are in your current job would like to tell your boss or employer something like this: “Before we let you leave, your commander must cross that field, present himself before this army, put his head between his legs, and kiss his own arse.” -William Wallace

I was once told by an well respected colleague of mine that most people only really get one shot, maybe two, to make something great of themselves. When facing that one opportunity, and having turned it down, you may never get another chance. William Wallace says it best, “Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you’ll live… at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin’ to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take… OUR FREEDOM!”

Don’t be caught years from now wishing that you would have taken that one chance to do something great with your life. Don’t wait to live. Living is for now, not for later. Don’t just sit around on the couch with a false sense of security just because you have a job or a steady paycheck. I once read that most people die at age 30 and are dead men walking for the other 60. “Every man dies, not every man really lives.” -William Wallace

When you think about freedom, what does that mean? Does it mean living in America and being able to go here and there, from state to state, worship as you may, have the right to bear arms and the freedom of speech? I love and enjoy those freedoms, but still, Dad’s are away from home ten to 12 hours a day just to kiss their kids goodnight and in some cases, the mother also. Their children are being raised by someone else that is paid to just watch them instead of nurturing them and teaching them how to be great. In trade for food and shelter they sacrifice their family time and their freedom! There is so much to live for, to enjoy and to experience and working my life away for someone else is not my idea of freedom.

“It’s all for nothing if you don’t have freedom.” -William Wallace

I am reading a book by Andy Andrews called “Mastering the Seven Decision” right now and wanted to share a brief story with you. It talks about this man who owns a zoo. This guy lived a few years back and at the time, all the other zoos would go out on safaris to catch the animals to feature in their zoo, but this one gentleman would breed his own animals and so it made his zoo that much better. Well, this guy heard about an animal that no other zoo in the world had and set out on a safari to find this animal and to bring it home for his zoo.

When telling the natives what his intentions were, they all laughed at him and told him that he would never be able to catch one, that they were too strong and fast. The only way to catch one of those was to shoot it from a distance and bring it back dead. This guy just shrugged and then told the natives that he would catch as many of these animals as he wanted and then pick the best of them for his zoo.

Out he went to find this animal. He laid down barley and honey every night for 6 weeks and every night these animals would eat all the food. Then, as he laid down the food, he placed a post near to it and continued to feed them for another week. The next week he placed another post just opposite of the last one, and fed the animals for another week. He did this for two more weeks until he had four posts. For the next several weeks he added boards in between these posts to make a coral. The last week the coral was nearly complete except for one board. That night he laid out the same amount of food and these animals squeezed through the gap to get to the food and he came up behind them and nailed on the last board and captured all of these beautiful animals. He picked the ones he wanted and let the rest go free.

Later on he was asked how he did it and his reply was: “I treat animals the same way I treat people: I give them what they want. I give them food and shelter. In exchange, they give me their beauty and their freedom.”

That statement was described as “bone chilling” in the book. Most of the world is giving away their beauty(talent, skills) and their freedom in exchange for food and shelter, not much more. Take a look, a serious look at your life, your job, what you are doing to provide for you and your family. Are you seriously free to do as you please? Are you living life to the fullest? Or, are you trading your freedom for pennies?

How do you make over 20k a month? Well I can tell you one thing, it’s not by working for someone else. Very few people enjoy that kind of an income working a job. You have to be a CEO or a salesman of some high dollar items such as real estate or aircraft. So how did I do it and how do you do it. That is the question!

How to make over 20k a month

The answer is simple: I found a simple system that can generate up to 14k per customer. The simplicity of this entire system is that I don’t have to be the successful salesperson. I don’t have to be the CEO of a major company. I simply found an industry that is the next big boom, invested in myself, followed the business plan that was already in place, and BAM…..I had a 42k week!

How does that play out you may ask? Well, I found only three people, they purchased the products, and my bank account was fed! End of story.

Guys, this business opportunity is so simple anyone can do it. All it takes is making the decision and moving forward with that decision. Don’t find yourself down the road regreting the fact that you did not respond to this business and get started. The choices you make today dictate your circumstances tomorrow. Choose wealth! Choose Freedom! Get started!

Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy new year and assume that everyone had a blast last night! We spent the evening at the movie theater with just our family watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. Our kids barely made it through the movie and were passed out in the car before we were 5 minutes down the road. Slackers! No discipline. We had about 45minutes to wait once we arrived home, kissed each other and went to bed at aroun 12:30am. The important part, is that I have not worked since the Friday before Christmas eve. Through the holidays I have seen fathers and mothers alike having to go back to work during the holidays. I am just grateful that I have the option to choose for myself, being self-employed, whether or not to work. It is a great freedom that I will never take for granted.

So with this new year here, it important to set some lofty goals for myself and for my family. Of course, my goal is to make seven-figures by this time 2009. I intend on assisting as many like-minded entrepreneurs in doing the same as well. I had great success last year, received an award, assisted many people in this business, but it will not hold a candle to this years results. If you are ready for wealth, abundance, and freedom in your life, jump on the train. I am going places in this business and am determined to assist as many people in board as I possible can.

So, enjoy the day and Happy New Year to you all!
