Help For Your Home Based Business

First off I want to say hello to all of my readers. I know it has been awhile since my last post. That was due to a surgical procedure I had to go through which had me down for awhile. Now I am back and moving forward, as usual. Remember to always keep moving forward. As one of my mentors always says, “Today is a New Day”. This is going to be the case for all of you who are building a home based business...

I know the struggles everyone goes through in building a home based business. How do I know? I have been through it already. Building a home based business is not an easy task but is very rewarding once you get there. What I am about to discuss is very vital in building your home based business, brick and mortar business and even some certain industries, such as real estate...

I have found a way to gather prospects faster, build downlines faster and generally speed up the pace of building your home based business. The system I have found helps you find Qualified prospects for your business rather than having to go out and hound people who might not want to be a part of whatever it is you may be doing. I personally do not go after prospects, they come to me. You see I do not want to waste my valuable time on prospects for my home based business opportunities that are not serious about building their own business. Those types of people need to keep punching a clock for someone else. Now this is ok since not everybody is cut out to do it on their own. We need people to work at regular jobs or we would have no service or products to purchase and/ or to survive. In business if you sell lumber you are not going to solicit to a business selling software. It wouldn’t make sense right? You want businesses to buy your lumber. So of course you see my point. We need to target prospects who want our opportunity or service…

To date I haven’t found a more cost effective way to market the masses who want to do a home based business. Until now. I have used direct response marketing as a tool which also will bring prospects to you but is much more costly. DR marketing is a great way to do business because you are targeting the audience you are looking for. It could cost thousands to do mail pieces. This is just one of many but is also time consuming and costly. How about a constant lead source? Prospects and clients wanting your home based business and they are calling you. I have barely touched the surface on this and already have potential clients calling me. Not to mention you might even make a few bucks, just on referrals. Below is the link, check it out and let me know what you like about it and how it could help you. There are so many different ways this service can help you it is mind boggling…

Enjoy…

How Much Is Enough?

With oil prices going through the roof on a daily basis and the talk of offshore drilling firing back up I can’t help but wonder, what is going to happen to our environment? In a recent poll across the country, 60% of the population is agreeing with the lifting of a 30 year ban on offshore drilling. Not only offshore but in wildlife refuge area’s as well. Who are the 60%? I know we are all upset with the cost of fuel today but what will the impact have on our future generations of children?

Most of the drilling platforms and rigs are not ready to get started. I have read many reports stating that, starting up rigs now could be 15 – 20 years before substantial amounts of oil could be pulled out of the ground. Is it worth the risk? Notice how most of the lobbyists are all ancient in terms of age. Will they even be alive in 20 – 30 years to see the Repercussion of what they want to do now? They might not be alive but all of our kids will be. They will have to deal with the problems that will arise from opening up these wells again, and/or new exploration offshore…

Below is an article/ commentary from Steve Andrews from ASPO-USA…

Commentary: Offshore Drilling Questions,When?How Much?etc.

By Steve Andrews

(Note: Commentaries do not necessarily represent ASPO-USA's positions; they are personal statements And observations by informed commentators.)

In 1973, after the OPEC oil embargo caused gasoline shortages, votes in Congress suddenly materialized to approve construction of the delayed Alaskan pipeline. Four years later, crudestarted to flow from fields proven back in 1968. Result: a slug of oil from Prudhoe Bay helped reduce our imports for eight years, and US oil production increased modestly for five years.Soon history may repeat itself, but with some key differences. As soon as this week, elected officials in Washington D.C. may be staring at a vote to overturn the 27-year moratorium on offshore drilling plus open up Alaska's ANWR. Are voters fried enough about $4/gal gasoline to pressure their representatives and senators to support drilling? Maybe. But this time around theoffshore really isn’t a cavalry waiting to save the day. Happy motoring has hit the skids.

Here are five quick questions for all those elected officials to ponder before they vote this week:

1. When will the new oil arrive? Brutal truth: maybe in a decade for the early oil, though the EIA's quote above indicates more like two decades before enough oil arrives to matter.The industry doesn't have any identified offshore fields like Prudhoe Bay, our all-timelargest producer, to come on line quickly. Exploration takes time. Drilling takes time,when you can get a drill. Building infrastructure takes time. Delays are commonplace.

2. How much new oil will arrive then? No one can say conclusively. Think in terms of one to two million barrels per day by 2025-2030. But now the world consumes 86 million a day, the US consumes 20 million, imports 13 million, produces only 7 million. Offshore clearly won’t be a savior.

3. Where are the rigs? The personnel? Deepwater rigs are already reserved several yearsin advance; in a few years supply may be even tighter as Brazil’s offshore drilling increases; new rigs for offshore waters take years to build. Each rig and crew will cost much more than during previous years, so no price relief there.

4. Can’t we drill the Detroit formation deeper? The nearly all-consuming focus on increasing supply means that cutting demand generally plays a minor role, if any. Back in the mid-70s, we ordered car manufacturers to ramp up efficiency faster than current lawmakers are drilling Detroit. Today, we need No More Mr. Nice guy pounding on the efficiency band wagon.

5. Can Americans handle the truth? You won’t know until you try. But how many of the 60% of Americans who favor drilling offshore really understand the above hard truths? There’s a hopeful message at the end of the energy rainbow. But first, the rain.

Finally, a quote from Roger Blanchard, author of the May 26 article: "Desperate people do desperate things. As Americans become more desperate for oil, I expect that ANWR and offshore areas will be opened for oil development. It will be like burning the furniture to keep the house warm in mid-January. It will be a desperate move that won't result in much.For years, our slowly sinking energy story has begged for a balanced, science-based energy policy. If drilling our brains out offshore—aka burning the furniture--is really part of the plan, for my kids’ sakes I would like to know what the hell we plan to do after that.

Hope you all enjoyed this commentary. I know it opened my eyes a little more than usual…

“A Picture To Remember”

You know as the summer holidays approach us, I figured it was a good time to bring out this picture as a reminder of how things are in the world today. Many times I am asked if “The Freedom Guy” was politically related. My answer has always been no. As most of you already know it is basically business related with a few other tid bits that I try to pass along. If you want to know about “The Freedom Guy” in general I suggest you read my first blog entitled “Your Freedom Is My Goal”, if you haven’t done so already…

This photo basically represents how the people in this country will always stand and fight together through so much adversity and hardship. During these holidays we all need to thank our veterans, firefighters, police and current military personnel, for the jobs they do for us that are so hard. Please don’t blame our soldiers, men and women alike, for our administrations Short Cummings…

Most of all we must always Remember, and “Never Forget”…

A Valuable Lesson From My Trip

To Robert Kiyosaki's Office...

John, this is possibly the most important email I’ve ever written, so please read it carefully...

Over the past few months, I’ve been helping Robert Kiyosaki's team with their online marketing strategies, and just got back from a trip to his Phoenix office.

The picture to my right is my friend John who handles the web work for Robert, and he'll be a guest speaker at the Traffic Formula LIVE event here in Austin this month.

It’s probably safe to assume that you’ve read a copy of this Best Seller, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”.

It’s funny how a few words on paper can start a global movement, which is exactly what’s happened, with over 29,000,000 copies of his books being sold world-wide.

I’ve definitely learned a lot from Robert, and it’s been a real privilege to work with he and his team.

What I’d like to share with you now is one of the most valuable insights I’ve gained from my time with Robert. Please take the time to read this email today, because I can promise that you’ll never look at yourself the same way again once you do.

Have you ever thought about the word “winning”, and what it means to you?

For most of us, the word “winning”, is a very simple concept. You create a goal, and when you achieve it, you’ve won.

Well, there’s actually much more to it then that, because you’re subconscious mind has it’s own definition for “winning”, and whether you like it or not, you and your entire life are run by this little bugger.

If your subconscious doesn’t want you to “win” when it comes to wealth and money, you’re not going to. Period.

By definition, your subconscious thoughts and its agenda for your life are hidden from you, unless you’ve trained yourself to communicate with it.

If you don’t know what its definition of “winning” is for you right now, how can you ever move forward? And that’s the point on this letter… We’re going to find out what “winning” means to your subconscious right now…

There are 5 ways for you to win...

1: You win when you’re comfortable. This person’s primary goal is to just go through life as comfortably as possible. They don’t want stress. They don’t want to be pushed or challenged. They don’t like conflict. The just want to go through life on cruise control, hanging out with their friends, and having a good time. Everything they do is designed to support their pursuit of comfort.

This is your average, life-long employee who’s more than happy to have a safe, stable, comfortable job.

If you push this person away from that goal, and challenge them or their routine lifestyle, watch out.

2: You win by being liked. This person’s primary goal in life is to be liked by others. They want acceptance from everyone, and will do just about anything to reach that goal. They’d rather be liked, than be right or wrong.

When you put someone like this in a leadership role, the business will usually fail because they won’t be willing to make hard decisions that would anger someone. They would try to please everyone all the time because their ultimate motivation is to be liked by others.

3: You win by being right. This person is usually an expert in a specific field like a professor, lawyer, or a wife. (Just kidding ladies! ?). People who win by being right, don’t accept criticism and aren’t open to new ideas.

They tend to reach a glass ceiling when it comes to money, their career, and relationships, because they can’t accept their short-comings in order to move past them and achieve personal growth. Arguing with this person never works because they’ll always find a way to prove you wrong, even if it means sabotaging your company in the process.

In order to win, this person must be right.

4: You win by winning. This person is an achiever. Their primary motivation is to win. They are very competitive, and will do whatever it takes to win. They won’t quit, and they’ll constantly push themselves to gain the edge they need.

This category describes all successful entrepreneurs and athletes. Winning is their reward, and on the dark side, some of them will go too far and compromise their integrity in order to do so. Key Lay of Enron is a great example.

This type of person doesn’t care if others don’t like them, and they welcome discomfort because it provides them with new opportunities to win.

This is how Robert wins, and looking at my past, this is how I win... Two State Championships in cycling. The #1 marketing system in the industry. Millionaire before 30. I win, by winning. I am constantly evaluating and improving myself, and will do whatever it takes, (with integrity), to be the best. Period.

5: You win by losing. This person wins by being a victim. They want sympathy from others or their spouse. Just when things start to get better, they will sabotage themselves, and say, “I knew it wouldn’t work”, giving them their victory once again.

There lives are always filled with problems because they don’t win unless they lose, so they create circumstances and excuses that help them fulfill that destiny like, “Your book won’t teach me anything new. I don’t have the money. This is just another scam. I’ll give it a try…”

Now if you’re like me when I was exposed to this, you’re taking a long hard look at your life right now.

There are people who are not wealthy because they want to be comfortable. There are people who are not healthy because they want to be comfortable. There are people who are stuck in the same job without a promotion for 10 years because they want to be liked. There are people who are addicted to struggle because they win by losing.

And most likely, you see a little of yourself in each of these categories.
I know I do, but what’s important to remember, is that winning is a continuous process that is brought to an end once you’ve won, which is an event.

As soon as you’ve “won”, the process starts all over again.

This is why you tend to feel lost or unfulfilled after you achieve a goal.
I know that once Magnetic Sponsoring became the #1 marketing system in the industry, I got lazy for a year. I had won and didn’t know what to do next. I was a winner without a goal, so comfort took its place.

Once I was inspired by a new goal, my entire focus went back to “winning”, which is where I am right now.

I don’t know where you are at this moment in your life, but I do know this… Entrepreneurs win by winning, and they’ll do whatever it takes to fulfill that subconscious desire.

If your subconscious’ desire is to REALLY “win” in networking or your home business right now, then you should already have copies of Magnetic Sponsoring and our other courses on your desk because they are physical representations of your true desire.

If you don’t, then you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and ask yourself why? Do you really want to “win” in this industry, or are you after something else…?
If you REALLY want to “win” in this industry, but have recognized that you’re not where you need to be today thanks to this email, the choice is yours.

You are not a victim or a prisoner of your subconscious. You can control it. You can train it to achieve new goals.

You have complete power over every aspect of your life and you can reinvent yourself, and the way you win at any time, but it’s a process that will require complete dedication.

I hope you have the courage, and when you’re TRULY ready to win in networking, Magnetic Sponsoring will find a way onto your desk...

Best,

Mike Dillard
