Did you ever think you and Donald Trump had anything in common? Well you do. In fact, you are just like him! The only difference between you and someone like Donald Trump is in your mindset and the choices you make. The common misconception is that wealthy people are born with something special or a unique ability no one else possesses. The fact is everyone is born the same, but they adapt differently and as a result they make different choices.
What does the mindset of the wealthy look like?…. Read the rest of this entry »
We face obstacles in every area of our lives, whether raising children, dealing with family issues or simply desiring a career or location change. Somehow something always surfaces signaling a cause of action from us. What we do and how we think when faced with these circumstances will ultimately determine our resolve and how we handle future issues.

At least 80% of businesses never make a substantial profit online. The remaining 20% are taking all of the income and unfortunately most of the latter are simply not aware of the simple methods needed to ramp up their marketing efforts. They spend thousands of dollars creating prettier websites, adding more professional graphics to their videos and redesigning logos, but they never realize the secrets to gaining more traffic and leads.
You can run the best looking website and the greatest business in the world, but if you are not targeting the right… Read the rest of this entry »
Information overload is very common especially for new internet marketers. It is all too easy to get entangled in the latest trends or the newest “so-called” internet secrets. Every email stops you in your tracks and like a lollipop dangled in front of a child you must have everything.
Imagine if you took all the time you spent reading emails, purchasing and researching products and actually put…. Read the rest of this entry »
You should be aware that we have been warned by some very credible individuals. Charlie Munger, who was Warren Buffet’s longtime business partner, just came out and declared that “IT’S OVER”. Our house of cards, the U.S. economy, that has been built upon a shaky economy is now ready to collapse and fall all around us. Wow – talk about depressing.
I guess we can just go on with our lives and go down with the ship like a bunch of rats on a sinking ship or….. Read the rest of this entry »

I have a theory; it is not a proven theory, but one which offers an explanation into what is happening in America. More specifically, what is happening to the middle class in America. In feudal times, powerful landowners, or nobles, controlled their societies through the oppression of the poor. These serfs worked the land, paid taxes, and left any major political decisions to the powers that be. These nobles understood if they gave the serfs just enough to get by, they eventually would come to rely on these handouts. This society functioned for many years without a middle class—this class was virtually extinct.
These same feudal principles are slowly creeping into our society today. Through heavy taxation and manipulation, the middle class today is fading into extinction. The political forces which govern our current society thrive on the Read the rest of this entry »

Some people work really well in the typical office environment and others do not. I guess I am definitely one of the latter group and I generally don’t like the idea of having a normal job. There is a really old joke that is often cited when discussing the way in which large companies organize their employees and it involves a monkey, a cage, a banana and a fire hose and I thought I would share it with you. Forgive me if you have heard this before but I really like it because it sums up a lot about working for a large organization.
You start off with a metal cage containing five monkeys and inside the cage hangs a banana on a string. After a little while one of the monkeys will try and climb up to grab the banana. As soon as the monkey starts climbing up to reach Read the rest of this entry »

America has built a large part of its economy on homeownership. Owning a home is part of the ever more elusive American Dream. Yet, over time, owning a home became a larger and larger burden as new buyers were required to take on bigger debt loads merely to buy a basic home. Incomes weren’t rising so debt was the new subsidy. The apex of the bubble was reached in 2005 although prices didn’t start falling in drastic fashion for a couple of years later. The US Treasury and Federal Reserve are largely to blame for inciting the biggest housing bubble the world has come to know. The lenders are equally to blame for creating the structure that allowed this to happen as they championed de-regulation and completely neglected any fiscal responsibility.
So what happened? Let’s take a look at some raw data: from 2001 to 2006 home building was off the charts. Single-family housing starts were up to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.8 million a year even though population growth did not warrant this new inventory. From 1999 to 2001 the rate was hovering around 1.2 million. So 600,000 properties Read the rest of this entry »
Are you an internet marketing newbie who’s having trouble generating sufficient leads for your business? Well you’re not alone… in fact most MLM’ers and internet marketers encounter this problems when beginning their businesses, and most actually never find the solution.
The main problem (other than lack of effort) is that most people simply don’t take the right approach. When you begin your business and you’re hit over the head with all the different marketing options out there for you it can be overwhelming, and you might feel the need to try every lead generation method out there… well don’t! This is where most people go wrong.
DON’T SIGN UP FOR ANYTHING UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!…… Read the rest of this entry »
Picture this—middle America. Mom and dad, two kids, quaint house, picket fence—you’ve seen it in the movies, or maybe read about it in a book. It’s the American dream. As part of that dream, dad puts his arm around his young son, pulls him near and looks him straight in the eye. The words permeate within little Jr. “Son, I want you to work hard. This is America. Go to college. Earn your degree and get a good job. Work hard in your life so you can retire when you’re older. I want you to have a better life that the one I’ve got.”
Now picture this—third world country. Single mom, 5 children, a small dwelling with maybe two rooms. Not as popular as the previous scene; yet still they cling to a different version of the American dream: the one we’ve let slip through our fingers. This mom takes her eldest son in her arms and pulls him close. She whispers poignantly in his ear. “Son, I want you to work hard. Go to America. There you can start a business -
