What Is "Success"?

What does “Success” mean?

Success is simply about getting positive results.

In the beginning,
Success is not about making a million dollars.

When you’re just getting started,
it’s really just about getting positive results.

The Money Game

The object of the Money Game is
to accumulate enough investments
so that the income from those investments
will eventually support you.

When Customers Leave

Customers don't just stop doing business.
They just stop doing business with YOU.

Focus

Take your focus off your product or opportunity.

Put your focus on the possible changes

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!

Is to plug a larger, more prosperous IDEA

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.

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.

HOW to Create $1.2 MILLION in Investments

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
The Mechanics of Wealth
Lifestyle Education Strategies
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

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?
