Just A Quick Thanks!


Before I get into my next blog I just want to say thank you to my readers for helping make it successful. Without you my writings would not get out to the masses. As you know I try to give quality content about things we can all use on a daily basis. Sometimes the readings get emotional, whether it is negative or positive I try to stir the fire under all of us and bring out our emotion. This is needed for us all to stay motivated sometimes. Trust me I know. The content I write about is full of information that I have learned over the years. (Mostly the hard way)...

I have taken note over the years on things I have been taught. Mainly through trials and tribulations, speakers, readings, conferences, mentors and world financial leaders, just to name a few. I Then do my best to forward these things on to you, the reader and to the masses. Personally if I can touch just a few lives with my writings, then I have been successful in doing so. Take note on how much all of us can learn from our leaders now. (and I mean financial leaders) Leaders that are in fear for our economy in this country and the world...

So once again thank you for reading and leaving comments, it is truly appreciated. Stay tuned for part two of mindset over the next few days…
As Always Thank You For Reading...

How Important Is Your Mindset?


This is an answer you have to tell yourself on a daily basis. Whether it is in your home based business, your brick and mortar business or even for your financial future, for you and your family. If you don’t step up now and start to plan for your future. When will you? Where will you be in five years from now? Do you have a plan of action, to make your future brighter for you and your family? If you don’t you will be in the same situation five years from now, that you are in today. Do you think your 401k will be enough for your retirement? Do you think social insecurity will be there for you? Right now the baby boomers are retiring at a rate of 10,000 per day. If all of them got a SS check for $1000 per month, SS will be at 75 billion per month. Still think we will get SS when we retire?

It all comes down to your mindset and it is time to start now, not five years from now. My last blog was about procrastination and that is where it all starts. Stop procrastinating and change your mindset now. I attended a business presentation last week. The gentleman who gave the presentation was nineteen years old. Nineteen! He is still young and has the proper mindset because he hasn’t been exposed to all the negativity that most of us have had to deal with over the years. Does that mean it is too late for the rest of us? I think not. If you change your mindset right now you will still have a shot at your own personal greatness. It is up to you…

The first thing you need to do is to start writing down the things you want to achieve over the next 1 year, 3 years and 5 years. It is called “Goal Setting” which I will get into detail in a later blog. It doesn’t take much to start thinking about where you want to be in that amount of time. There are vehicles that will get you there you just need to start looking for them. Get out of your comfort zone and start making your future look bright. After all isn’t that what you truly want. We can all dream about our futures but without a vehicle to get there, all they are, are dreams…

Start paying attention to the greats, such as Donald Trump, Robert Kiyosaki, Warren Buffet, Steve Down and the like. These are financial experts who are now giving us information to brighten our financial futures. Ask yourself this question? How much television do you watch every day? Are you willing to get out of your comfort zone and use that time to work toward your future? If you do not get out of you comfort zone now, when will you? In five years or maybe never? Do you think that 70 year old working at McDonalds wants to? Chances are they have to, not because they want to. This country is headed for two classes very quickly, the rich and the poor. Our middle class that has thrived so much over the years is now disappearing. So now is the time to take action in your life and get out of that comfort zone…

P.S. Pick up a copy of May's issue of "Success From Home Magazine" on sale April 15th. The feature story is about one of my main businesses or (Vehicles) "World Ventures". Most importantly there is an article on page 50 by Robert Kiyosaki which is a must read for your home based business.

Procrastination♦


Need I really say much more? The title says it all. Procrastination is the number one killer in the Home Business Arena. Too many of us (yes myself included) have procrastinated long enough. I don’t have time, I don’t have the money, and I don’t have, blah, blah, blah. You have to take action in order to have results. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard “I need more information and have to take it slow”. No! When you get involved take immediate action. Get with your leaders and let them help you start building your business. Learn as you go. You do not have to know everything right away before doing something about it…

Besides if you know too much in the beginning you might talk too much anyway. I cannot tell you how many times I verbally threw up on someone because I spoke too much. In the beginning become a “Master Inviter”. Invite people to see a presentation but do not say too much. Let them become qualified first and once again don’t say too much. Let the presentation do its job. We will get into this topic more at a later date…

The problem lies within us. I think some of it may be fear. You know fear of actually doing something on your own and actually succeeding at it. We have been programmed since birth to work hard, save your money, invest and diversify. It doesn’t work today like it did 20 – 30 years ago. You know why over 80% of the people that take on the challenge of their own Home Based Businesses fail. You guessed it. Procrastination…

Our middle class is going away quickly. We are going to end up with two classes; Poor and Rich. Which do you prefer? Take action for yourself and your family now. Do not wait until it is too late. Let’s all change our mindset now and just go for it. It is time to start making a living, living…
