HOW to Create $1.2 MILLION in Investments...

Did you know that...

If you had a $80,000 30-year mortgage,

a $10,000 car loan,

and $3,800 in credit card debt,

you could be completely DEBT-FREE

(including the mortgage)

in eight years, five months

by using the extra $300 you can make each month from
your homebased business to pay off these debts?

And, in doing so, you would SAVE
more than $100,000.00 in interest!

You could then create more than $1.2 MILLION in investments,
EARNING you $10,000.00 each MONTH in interest,
in the SAME time it would have taken you to
pay off your mortgage in the traditional way?

Nine Things More Important Than Capital

NINE THINGS MORE IMPORTANT THAN CAPITAL
By - Jim Rohn

When starting any enterprise or business,
whether it is full-time or part-time,
we all know the value of having
plenty of capital (money).

But I bet we both know or at least have heard
of people who started with no capital and
went on to make fortunes.

How? You may ask.

Well, I believe there are actually some things
that are more valuable than capital that can
lead to your entrepreneurial success.
Let me give you the list.

1...........TIME.

Time is more valuable than capital.

The time you set aside not to be wasted,
not to be given away.

Time you set aside to be INVESTED in an enterprise
that brings VALUE to the marketplace with the hope
of making a profit.

Now we have capital time.

How valuable is time?

Time properly invested is worth a FORTUNE.

Time wasted can be devastation.

Time invested can perform MIRACLES,
so you invest your time.

2...........DESPERATION.

I have a friend, Lydia, whose first major investment
in her new enterprise was desperation.

She said, "My kids are hungry, I've got to make this work.
If this doesn't work, what will I do?"

So she invested $1 in her enterprise
selling a product she believed in.

The $1 was to buy a few flyers so she could
make a sale at retail, collect the money and
then buy the product wholesale to deliver
back to the customer.

My friend Bill Bailey went to Chicago as a
teenager after he got out of high school.

And the first job he got was as a night janitor.

Someone said, "Bill, why would you settle
for night janitor?"

He said, "Malnutrition."

You work at whatever you can possibly
get when you get hungry.

You go to work somewhere -- night janitor,
it doesn't matter where it is.

Years later, now Bill is a recipient of the
Horatio Alger award, rich and powerful
and one of the great examples of lifestyle
that I know.

But, his first job -- night janitor.

Desperation can be a powerful incentive.

When you say - I MUST.

3...........DETERMINATION.

Determination says I WILL.

First Lydia said, "I must find a customer."

Desperation.

Second, she said, "I will find someone
before this day is over."

Sure enough, she found someone.

She says, "If it works once, it will work again."

But then the next person said, "No."

Now what must you invest?

4...........COURAGE.

Courage is more valuable than capital.

If you've only got $1 and a lot of courage,
I'm telling you, you've got a good future
ahead of you.

Courage in spite of the circumstances.

Humans can do the most incredible things
no matter what happens.

Haven't we heard the stories?

There are some recent ones from Kosovo that
are some of the most classic, unbelievable
stories of being in the depths of hell and
finally making it out.

It's humans.

You can't sell humans short.

Courage in spite of, not because of, but in spite of.

Now, once Lydia has made 3 or 4 sales and gotten going,
here's what now takes over.

5...........AMBITION.

"Wow! If I can sell 3, I can sell 33.

If I can sell 33, I can sell 103."

Wow.

Lydia is now dazzled by her own dreams of the future.

6...........FAITH.

Now she begins to believe she's got a good product.

This is probably a good company.

And she then starts to believe in herself.

Lydia, single mother, 2 kids, no job.

"My gosh, I'm going to pull it off!"

Her self-esteem starts to soar.

These are investments that are unmatched.

Money can't touch it.

What if you had a million dollars and no faith?

You'd be poor.

You wouldn't be rich.

Now, here is the next one, the reason
why she's a millionaire today.

7...........INGENUITY.

Putting your brains to work.

Probably up until now, you've put about
1/10 of your brainpower to work.

What if you employed the other 9/10?

You can't believe what can happen.

Humans can come up with the most intriguing things to do.

Ingenuity.

What's ingenuity worth?

A FORTUNE.

It is more valuable than money.

All you need is a $1 and plenty of ingenuity.

Figuring out a way to make it work,
make it work, MAKE IT WORK.

8...........HEART AND SOUL.

What is a substitute of heart and soul?

It's not money.

Money can't buy heart and soul.

Heart and soul is more valuable than a million dollars.

A million dollars without heart and soul,
you have no life.

You are ineffective.

But, heart and soul is like the unseen MAGIC
that moves people, moves people to buy,
moves people to make decisions, moves
people to act, moves people to respond.

9...........PERSONALITY.

You've just got to spruce up and
sharpen your own personality.

You've got plenty of personality.

Just get it developed to where it is effective
EVERY day, it's effective no matter who you
talk to -- whether it is a child or a business person --
whether it is a rich person or a poor person.

A unique personality that is at home anywhere.

My mentor Bill Bailey taught me, "You've got to learn to
be just as comfortable, Mr. Rohn, whether it is in a little
shack in Kentucky having a beer and watching the fights
with Winfred, my old friend, or in a Georgian mansion
in Washington, DC as the Senator's guest."

Move with ease whether it is with the
rich or whether it is with the poor.

And it makes no difference to you
who is rich or who is poor.

A chance to have a unique relationship with whomever.

The kind of personality that's comfortable.

The kind of personality that's not bent out of shape.

And lastly, let's not forget charisma and sophistication.

Charisma with a touch of humility.

This entire list is more valuable than money.

With one dollar and the list I just gave you,
the world is yours.

It belongs to you, whatever piece of it you desire,
whatever development you wish for your life.

I've given you the secret.

CAPITAL.

The kind of capital that is more valuable
than money and that can secure your
FUTURE and FORTUNE.

Remember that you lack not the resources.

Supply and Demand

Supply and Demand

“How will I fulfill someone else’s need today,
and get paid in the process?”

There is NO way of making money on this planet
other than by fulfilling people’s needs.

There are more than five billion people on this planet,
and every day of the week each one needs,
say, a hundred different things.

There are trillions of demands that need satisfying.

So, rather than looking at supply and demand
from a position of insecurity and lack,
you can see it from the other side of the coin.

There’s a perpetual oversupply of demand.

If you can’t give people one thing, you can sure
as hell find something else that they’ll want.

your possibilities are endless.

This is an offshoot of the
vacuum law of prosperity.

When you gossip about others,
you are a voyeur to their discomfort,
and incur a karma debt for this.

Without opposition or resistance,

What Do You Want?

Everyone knows what they want.

They are simply afraid to admit it.

Once they admit it, they have to own up
to the fact that they don’t have it.

They have to begin to take action to get
what they want, or they have to make
excuses for not trying.

Both may be uncomfortable.

To stay safe, people lie.

This report is actually an excerpt
from the best selling book,
"Multiple Streams of Income"
by Robert Allen.

The title of Chapter 11 is:

Network Marketing: The Ultimate Money Machine

This is some GREAT information on
HOW TO build YOUR business.

Mike

=================================================
Note: ( I begin quoting from the book here...)
=================================================

Principle 2: Use the Right Marketing System

By marketing system, I mean HOW
you will attract your customers.

Here is the system that most people use to get
started in traditional network marketing:

*** Make a list of at least 100 names,
including everyone you know.

*** Call each of them and try to sell them
your product or your opportunity.

What a formula!

It's simple... It's cheap... It's duplicable.

But 90% of the people who follow this system FAIL!

Why?

Because, the odds of finding a truly qualified customer
in ANY average group of 100 people is VERY low.

Maybe only 1 or 2 percent are actually seeking
your product or opportunity at this moment -
5 percent if you're lucky.

Zig Ziglar himself couldn't find more than
five good customers in this group.

Ninety-five people would turn him down.

That's a 95 percent rejection rate -
and he's the BEST SALESPERSON in the WORLD!

What's going to happen when our untrained
beginner calls this same list?

Massive rejection followed by failure.

It's not because the product is bad
or the opportunity is not good
or even because the beginner
doesn't know how to sell.

It's BECAUSE the odds of finding two good customers
in ANY LIST of 100 average people is very low.

But the beginner doesn't KNOW this...

But here's the GOOD NEWS.

Although a beginner feels defeated with only
a 5 percent success rate, ANY mail-order
marketer will tell you that a 5 percent response
rate is FANTASTIC!

It's the stuff FORTUNE'S are made of.

Mail-order marketers are ECSTATIC with
a 1 or 2 percent response rate!

Here is the FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE behind
ANY successful network marketing business:

***********************************************
If you can find just ONE or TWO customers in
every 100 contacts, you can build a FORTUNE.
***********************************************

To be successful in network marketing
you need a SYSTEM that...

*** Dramatically lowers the probability of rejection.
*** Sifts through the 100 people to AUTOMATICALLY
find the five who are most interested.
*** Get those five prospects to CALL YOU on
the phone and tell you they're interested.
*** Automatically TRAINS the two HOTTEST prospects
to SELL THEMSELVES and give you the money.

No rejection:

Only the HOT prospect RESPONDS.

The 9 cold ones don't respond.

Good.

We don't want to talk to them anyway.

Who wants unnecessary rejection?

In other words, we DON'T do SALES.
We do MARKETING.

======================================
(End of quoting from the book.)
======================================

Does this sound FAMILIAR?

* This is EXACTLY how our BUSINESS SYSTEM works.
* This is EXACTLY what we do.
* This is how THOUSANDS of people just like
YOU and me make a REAL LIVING...

"HOW Do I Make Money With You

AND

Exactly WHAT Do I Need To Do?"

HOW Do You Make Money in Network Distribution?

It's really very simple.

You need to find 3-5 people in the ENTIRE world that
want to make an EXTRA $1,000 or more per month.

Then teach them how to do the same thing.

That's ALL you need to do.

There are approximately 6 BILLION souls on this planet.

You need to locate 3-5 of them that want
to make an extra $1,000 a month.

Exactly WHAT Do You Need To Do?

Again, this is very simple.

You need to make yourself and your
information AVAILABLE to people.

You MUST get your information to OTHER people.

It does you NO good whatsoever to keep
the information about your opportunity
all to yourself.

That is ALL you need to do.

OTHER people have the MONEY that YOU desire.

You must trade YOUR information for THEIR money.

HOW you make yourself and your information
available to people is up to you.

You can either:

1. TELL people that you know, verbally yourself,
as in talking to them.
2. Run ads and offer FREE Information.
Those people that respond are interested.
Send them the information and ask them
what else they need to know before
making a decision.
3. Join a Lead Generation company or buy a list
of leads and either call them or put them on
an Informational Series of emails on your
autoresponder.
4. Join an ad co-op with your upline and
call those people that respond.

There may be other ways to LOCATE people
to share your information with.

The bottom line is this:

You MUST do one of them if you want to build a check.

That's ALL there is to it.

FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE
(By - Jim Rohn)

Shortly after I met my mentor, he asked me,

"Mr. Rohn, how much money have you saved
and invested over the last six years?"

And I said, "None."

He then asked, "Who sold you on that plan?"

It is better to be a lender than a spender.

To become financially independent,

you must turn part of your INCOME into CAPITAL;

turn CAPITAL into ENTERPRISE;

turn ENTERPRISE into PROFIT;

turn PROFIT into INVESTMENT;

and turn INVESTMENT into FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE.

Financial independence is the ability to live from
the income of your own personal resources.

If you depend on your company to take care
of your retirement, your future income
will be divided by five.

Take care of yourself, and you can
MULTIPLY your future income by five.

I remember saying to my mentor,

"If I had more money, I would have a better plan."

He quickly responded,

"I would suggest that if you had a better plan,
you would have more money."

You see, it's not the amount that counts;
it's the plan that counts.

If you were to show me your current financial plan,
would I get so excited by it that I would go
across the country and lecture on it?

If the answer is no, then here's my question,

"Why not?"

Why wouldn't you have a superior financial plan
that is taking you to the places you want to go?

I used to say, "Things cost too much."

Then my teacher straightened me out on that by saying,

"The problem isn't that things cost too much.

The problem is that you can't afford it."

That's when I finally understood that the problem wasn't "IT"-

the problem was "ME."

Just Dreaming?

Instead of just dreaming of millions,
you first need to stop and ask yourself,

“What do I need to do to move forward
from where I’m at right now?”

Gurus talk about MAKING $10,000 a month,
MAKING $100,000 a month.

But, if you’ve never even made $1,000 or
even $100 from your own abilities without
working a job to do it, then you first need
to focus on making that first $100 to $1,000.

...Business Systems 101...

You don't buy a McDonalds franchise because
you're interested in hamburgers.

You buy a McDonalds because you're interested
in a PROVEN moneymaking SYSTEM.

The same holds true for ANY business opportunity,
including network marketing.

Unless you're independently wealthy,
DON'T get involved with a hyped-up
product that's going to "sell itself."

NOTHING sells itself.

PEOPLE sell stuff, period.

Get into a business that you can take
a pen and paper to and ACTUALLY SEE
how you're going to make money.

If you're making money, you can afford
to buy the hyped-up product with your
business PROFITS, if you still want it.

You don't need to get into an unprofitable
business over a hyped-up product..

BUSINESS is MONEY-DRIVEN.

There is NO other reason for being in business.

"If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense."
- "Neon" Deonne Sanders

If you're not in business to make money,
why bother?

Heck, spend the time with your family,
or go boating.

Best of Success!

The question here is not,
"Do you have enough money?"

Rather, it is,
"Is your life contained and balanced
within the money you do have?"

Concentration – The Power of Focus

The first law of success is concentration.

Bend all your energies to one point,
and go directly to that point.

Look neither right nor left.

Set your face in the direction of the things you want
and bring all of your powers to bear towards its attainment.

When your mental and physical resources are focused,
your power to solve problems multiplies tremendously.

To try two things at once is to do neither.

Nothing can add more power to your life
as much as concentration all your energies
on a single target.

Everything else is meaningless.

Your power rests where your consciousness flows.

While working on an idea, give it your full attention.

Empower it with your consciousness until it becomes a reality.

Through concentration you become powerful.

Fear

If you're paralyzed with fear,
it's a good thing.

It shows you what you have to do.

5 Simple Reasons Most People Will Never Get Rich

What did I learn about getting rich by
interviewing over 51 self-made millionaires?

Well, after interviewing one famous self-made
millionaire after another I realized many of the
secrets that make them rich while others continue
to struggle.

When you understand and do what self-made millionaires do,
you get to become one of them.

If you don't understand and do what
they do you don't get to become one.

It's really that simple.

Here are 5 simple reasons most people will
never get rich and how to make sure you do:

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Reason #1 - Waiting to start:
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

Most people don't want to wait for success.

But, at the same time, they are willing to wait
before getting started on the road to success.

Do you see the problem here?

The longer you wait to get started, the longer it
will be before you get the MONEY, SUCCESS,
and LIFESTYLE you want.

Many people are waiting for everything
to be perfect before they get going.

Therefore, they never get going
and never get the rewards.

No race has ever been won (or even finished)
by someone who never left the starting line.

Don't wait to get going.

Start today on the road to success.

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Reason #2 - Being financially illiterate:
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

The cornerstone of all wealth is understanding
the difference between assets and liabilities.

The difference is this:

Assets put money IN your pocket.

Liabilities take money OUT of your pocket.

Most people think their home, car,
and other possessions are assets.

But, the truth is that in most cases those
things take money out of your pocket.

They COST you money.

They don't MAKE you money.

Therefore, by the true definition above,
those things are liabilities.

They take money OUT of your pocket each month.

When you have more money coming IN from real assets
than you have going OUT to pay for liabilities,
you will be financially free.

There is only one way to do this.

Which brings us to...

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Reason #3 - Focusing on linear income instead of passive income:
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

One of the millionaires I interviewed said it simply.

He said, "If you're not making money while you sleep,
you'll NEVER be rich."

Linear income is what you get from a job.

You work for an hour and get paid only one time
for that one hour's work, and that's it.

Passive income is when you work once but continue
to get paid over and over again from work you're
no longer doing.

Investing in or creating true assets that provide
passive income for you is your ticket to wealth.

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Reason #4 - Not understanding or using systems for making money:
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

A system for making money is anything that allows
you to make money without your own effort.

In other words, it's an automated way to make money.

All true assets are simply "systems" of one sort or another.

Once you create or invest in a proven system
for making money, there is no limit to the
money you can make.

Becoming a master of money systems can
bring you riches beyond your dreams.

~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=
Reason #5 - Not being persistent or patient enough:
~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=

To finish any race you have to leave the starting line
and follow through to the finish line.

Most people create their own failure by either not
getting started or not following through, or both.

To get rich, successful, and happy you must have the
patience and persistence to cross the finish line.

You must not only get started, but also follow through.

This may sound obvious, but it's
still the cause of most failure.

Only by joining the small percentage of people who are
willing to do the 5 things mentioned above will you
have the greatest chances for wealth and success.

It's really quite simple...

Decide to do these things and you can get rich too.

If you don't do them, then like most people,
you may never get rich.

Decide now to master the ideas mentioned above
and begin your road to success now.

Then follow through and watch the difference it makes.

Did you know that...

If you had a $80,000 30-year mortgage,

a $10,000 car loan,

and $3,800 in credit card debt,

you could be completely DEBT-FREE

(including the mortgage)

in eight years, five months

by using the extra $300 you can make each month from
your homebased business to pay off these debts?

And, in doing so, you would SAVE
more than $100,000.00 in interest!

You could then create more than $1.2 MILLION in investments,
EARNING you $10,000.00 each MONTH in interest,
in the SAME time it would have taken you to
pay off your mortgage in the traditional way?
