In the business that I am in we hold various conferences around the world. These conferences are held in the most exotic places of the world. Just recently we’ve been invited to a conference held in Cancun at the Moon Palace Resort. Let me tell you, these events are top notch. We always stay at 5 star resorts that make the occasion unforgettable. This will be our second trip to Cancun within the last 12 months with a trip to Hawaii in between there.

Anyway, before I slip into Lalla Land, let me get to the point I want to make. Before every event the company that sponsors these events sends us a package in the mail. Inside this package is an official letter and invitation to the event. Always included with this invitation are luggage tags. Since Amy and I are both going we received four of them. Now, each event that takes place has a different style of luggage tag. Well, this time, the tags were made in China. They all may be but this time it had those words right there in plain view. This is what they look like….

The issue was that one end of the cord would not fit through one of the metal plates. This created a huge problem as the side that needed to fit through in order to make it work was the larger side. The larger side screws into the other side. To make a long story short, I thought that there had to be some kind of a trick to the whole thing. It had to be some kind of puzzle to figure out….some kind of Chinese trick. So I spent a good 30 minutes trying to figure this out. Well, my wife got tired of watching me get frustrated and struggle as I was. She got up, walked into the hallway, came back with a drill and drilled the holes big enough to fit both sides through. The End!

I started thinking to myself and she was on the same track. How many people do this in their lives and in their business? It happens all the time in the industry that I am in, Direct Sales. Instead of going straight to the end and get the result they want, they choose to struggle by trying to find a cooler or better way. I knew a solution to the problem I was faced with but still chose to struggle. I wanted to figure it out just to say I could.

I am in the business of creating Millionaires through Personal Development and Network Marketing. I compare this business to a franchise, but without all the investments and fees. Franchising has a high success rate, as we do, mostly because of two reasons: They have an established business model and a system to follow. Instead of guesswork, a system. That is very important in being successful in business.

The business I teach others is proven and works, but some, instead of going to the end result, choose to struggle. Don’t be a victim of this. When the solution presents itself, take it. Don’t try to find a better way. Just do what produces the results. We have the system there to be our paved road to success. We have the vehicle and even a pilot car to lead the way. Leaders have gone before and have proven this business and it’s simple marketing plan. Just do the thing, have the results and do the obvious.

You may agree with me or not on this one but what you have right now in life is what you have given your focus and energy to. The fact of the matter is, whether you believe it or not, it is true. The Law of Attraction and the subconscious mind have no favorites. They are governed by rules of operation. They don’t know fact or fiction. They only thrive on what they are fed. What are you feeding them?

But to get to the point, what are you giving your focus to? And then again, what do you receive in return? Take a step back and take a look at your life. What don’t you like about your life? Some common answers are debt, bad relationship, poor, bad job……whatever. Now, once you establish what you don’t like, you will get clear about what you do like and want more of. Use the contrast of the things that are coming into your life that you don’t want….. to think of the exact opposite, or what you do want. So, instead of debt, focus on financial freedom. Instead of a bad relationship, focus on what relationship you do want. Instead of putting your focus and energy on what you don’t want, ask yourself what you do want. Make a list and find the contrast in your life. For every negative, there is a positive.

When is comes to having success as an entrepreneur, many focus on the want of more money. Now what do you think you will get? More WANT! You will continue to want more money. Your subconscious only hears one thing. I want more…….. It leaves out the money part. When you tell a child, “Don’t hang on the door,” what do they hear? This plays into their subconscious? “Hang on the door!” Now, think of what you do want. “Get off the door,” or “close the door.” If I tell you, “Do not think of a huge snow storm,” what did you do? You thought of it, right? Your subconscious leaves the first part out.

Focus on having the money, or the success and you will attract it. It is up to you to figure out how to train your mind to do that. I am in the business of helping ambitious entrepreneurs to do exactly this: To train your mind in harmony with the Law of Attraction to attract more of what you want. Our first product is more or less the application to allow you to train your mind. It teaches you to apply the Law of Attraction.

We live in a time where information is invaluable. It is everywhere but priceless. The information that I teach others is along these lines. Information in my business equals FREEDOM, financially and personally. So, learn how to train your mind to get what you want, help others get what they want, and you will get what you want.

Why is that? Why does about 3% of the population make all or most of the money while the other 97% stay broke and ticked off at the ones that are making all the money? This is true not only in the industry that I am in but in most industries in the world of business. Is the system set up that way? Only the ones that have been there the longest make the most money? I think not.

The fact of the matter is…..when you are faced with an obstacle, and it seems almost impossible, what goes through your mind? What is your thought process? I’m sure most people when asked whether or not they could climb Mount Everest the answer would be no or I can’t. Kids are being taught in this day and age to accept failure in a round about way. And if you are a parent you may be contributing to this but may not have a clue that you are. For example: What do most kids say when they are faced with an obstacle? The all famous words….I can’t. Now, most parents I assume will probably help their child accomplish the task at hand. But how does that help the child? What does the child learn from that? He learns to accept failure and to depend on someone else to get results for him. Someone else will come to the rescue.

Teach your children from a very young age to become leaders. Teach them that they can accomplish anything they want and have anything they want. Do not settle with the “I can’t” drama. They don’t know any better and it is up to you as parents to teach them how to be responsible for their own results in life. Teach them to look in a mirror when they don’t get their desired results and then teach them how to go out and get them on their own. Give a man a fish and feed him for one meal……teach a man to fish and feed him for life!

This is where leaders are born. They are born when they cultivate that expectation of leadership within themselves and know that they are they only one responsible for their own successes and failures. People are leaders when they accept responsibility for their own results in life.

There will always be those who wonder why they aren’t having success and in some way bitter towards those who are. A leader finds solutions, not excuses. And you know what, you have a duty to become one of those leaders. You have a responsibility to become rich and to have success, so that others have some way of knowing that there is a better life out there. You can only help someone to the top if you are standing above them, to lend them a hand. Leadership cannot be taught, it has to be learned. Thus, I help those who can help themselves. So, as it always is, the ones who will make all the money, are the ones who know they will.

This past year has been the best year of my financial career. I have been a successful entrepreneur for nearly three years now and have since made more in a month than I did the entire last year. I not only achieved the goals that I had set for myself, but I went above and beyond my own expectations. My financial future is even more secure than ever before. I have a very hefty bank account and a huge monthly income flow.

My family and I have an amazing life. This year we went to Cancun in March, Australia in June, and Hawaii in October! This was our first trip ever to Australia and let me tell you, it was breath taking. It was all that and then some. Cancun and Hawaii were nothing short of spectacular. The water was great, crystal clear and warm. The service at the resorts were top notch and the events were transformational. We took a helicopter tour of the Big Island of Hawaii, over the volcano. Wow. Amazing! Talk about some breath taking views. But the most important part, is that we are together. My family is my life, and without them, everything else is pointless.

We moved from our 2000+ square foot home into our 4500+ SQ FT dream home that was completed in February. It appraises for close to a million dollars. It is just how we pictured it being. We have a great room with 20ft vaulted ceilings, a huge custom kitchen, a separate living room, an enormous office, a huge master suite, 3 guest bedrooms, a bonus room, 2.5 baths and all right here in the Country Club of Pinetop Arizona. We live amongst the pine trees of the White Mountains. We are 30 minutes from the Sunrise Ski resort where we have learned the art of snow boarding. I’m not the best, but am getting better.

I feel that I have been very blessed this year and have been able to take part in helping a lot of people. I am very grateful and am humbled by the success that has come into my life, but feel that I created it. I made the choice to make it all happen. And it did.

Today is December 31, 2007. This past year is exactly the year I planned it to be.

And no, the date is not a typo. If you can’t see, hear, smell, and feel yourself where you will be exactly a year from now……how will you ever get there. Think it up, visualize it, plan for it, and make it happen! You own your day today, and every day before today and every day after. Now, what have you got planned for it?

Make it a very prosperous and abundant 2007!

I am using the general idea for this blog taken from Barry Donalson off of the “More heart than talent” audio book by Jeffrey Combs. By the way, if you don’t have it, get it. It is great to have in your library.

There is a time in the world where there existed huge industrial cities in which all the resources of the world were produced and sold. Inside these industrial cities where thousands and thousands of workers. Slaves to the fullest. These slaves lived outside the city boundaries in their humble cottages, bound to the area due to their inability to leave. Every day these slaves were told what to do. They were told when to sleep, when to eat, when to have fun, and when to work.

Each and every morning these slaves travel into the city to be at their working posts no later than 7 in the morning and are required by their masters to work until 5 in the evening. They are told when to eat lunch, when to take a break, what to do with their time and how many pennies they can take home to their families. In fact, their time isn’t really theirs, it belongs to their masters. Most of the time, they are kept hours later than the normal work hours just to finish all the work that is needed to be done.

After they are released from their daily duties, they make the long trip back home to their families to find that their wives have gone to do what was required by their masters and the kids are asleep in bed. But as soon as they are of age, they too will get a master. The worker has no option as far as what he can do that night because he is required by his master to work the very next morning. The slave is paid just enough to provide a living for his family and is required to work 50 weeks out of every year with two weeks of leave or vacation time. At times, without pay. And this pay is nothing to shout about.

These slaves are stuck, unable to escape from the bonds that bind them to these cities. They are blinded to the world and their own abilities. The word freedom has no meaning for them, unless it is shown to them. Some know of a better land and a life without bondage. Others are blinded and tricked by their masters  by tactics designed to make their work seem enticing.

There is no escape from this life of misery, unless one learns to turn to himself. He must learn to rely on his own abilities and must provide for his own family by being creative and thinking outside of the boundaries of his former master or think outside of the box. He must take responsibility for his own actions, wins and failures alike. He can choose where he lives and isn’t bound to the boundaries of these industrial cities. If he chooses Freedom, he then has the ability to make dollars instead of pennies and has no cap on how many dollars he can make. His future is his own, no longer dictated by outside influences.

In order to make this possible, a slave must become a master, and learn to be a master of himself!

Become a Master of yourself!

Become an Entrepreneur with the top company in the direct sales industry. This is a combination of the 9 billion dollar Personal Development industry and the very lucrative direct sales wrapped into a successful home based business opportunity. Whether it is money you seek, time freedom, change of career, different lifestyle, a challenge, or all the above, there is no other business that can provide more freedom than this one.

This business model is proven to provide you with an opportunity to run a successful home based business. When I say proven, countless individuals who have become part of this massive movement have experienced huge success and are having awesome results in their lives. The beauty of this successful home based business is it works. It is proven by myself and many others who enjoy total freedom both financially and personally through this business and it’s products.

This company serves as a vehicle for highly motivated and ambitious individuals to reach their financial goals and to have the lifestyle they so desire. When I look for individuals to work with I look only for the Aces from a deck of cards. It would be nice to say that everyone at this very moment in time has what it takes to run a successful home based business. But everyone doesn’t. I mentor 3-5 people every week of the year and am very selective with who I choose to introduce this business to. The compensation plan that is used is very lucrative and is designed benefit you, the marketer. You are paid first, not the wholesale company.

One of the many reasons that this is such a successful home based business is that there is no guesswork involved. Marketing methods are provided for you to make money right out of the gate. If you can place a few pre-written ads, you can do this business. I will personally show what I do to obtain my success and you can choose what style of marketing fits you best.

It provides a very simple marketing system that does approximately 90% of the grunt work. It delivers the information to your potential costumers and actually sells the products leaving you with the opportunity to work only 3-4 hours a day from practically anywhere in the world. Imagine running your own successful home based business on the beaches in Cancun. Enjoy more time with your family while making your yearly salary every single month from the comfort of your own home. There are many business opportunities to choose from but I have yet to find a successful home based business as simple and effortless as this one.
