Billionaire Donald Trump, when asked on The Tonight Show  what he would do if he had to do it all over again remarked, “I would get involved in Network Marketing.” When someone in the audience snickered, Trump said, “That is why I am where I am and you are where you are.”

I love this example  This sums up why so many people continue to struggle with money…because they let their biases get in the way of reality.

Someone please ’splain something to me. 

All too often  we hear people talk about how MLM or Network Marketing is a SCAM because so many people fail in it.  On the surface… the statistics bear this our - 95% of people in MLM never make any sizable amount of money.  Presented with that statistics,  its easy to see why so many people think MLM is a SCAM. 

But look at it from a little different angle.

Did you know that…

Bill Cosby is one funny man that I’ve really grown to respect over the years.   I remember seeing him live back in my college days and he had the crowd in stitches the whole night.  Not only was he funny, but his routines also had a theme… a subtle message that he would interweave throughout his jokes to get across to the audience.

Over the last few years he’s been less subtle and more “in-your-face” with his messages on personal responsibility.  Along the way, he’s ruffled a few feathers.  But that hasn’t stopped him from speaking the truth.

When your first plan fails, you better have something to fall back on.  We often call that our “Plan B”.

Follow me here…

You’ve followed the rules…

  • Studied hard, got good grades, went to college and got a degree.
  • You were fortunate enough to get a good job - where you’ve also followed the rules.  You worked hard.  You sacrificed personal time for the sake of your career.
  • You got the maximum house your lender said you could get - 2.5 times your income.
  • You got two cars payments. You’ve gone for the gusto.

It saddens me to see so many people struggle with their lives – especially their finances.  Each of us has a purpose in life but there’s a problem: Most people can’t live out their dreams because they’re too busy “making a living.”

Well it doesn’t have to be that way.  It’s my vision to help as many people as possible create personal success…and that includes financial success.

Money won’t make you happy,
but the lack of it can make you very unhappy

“Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.” — Charles Schultz

If you haven’t read it, Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” will greatly influence your thinking. There’s a reason why it’s titled “Think and Grow Rich“, and not “Work Hard and Grow Rich” or “Get a Job and Grow Rich”

The fact is ­- people who work the hardest do not grow rich.

“Income seldom exceeds personal development.” - Jim Rohn

The main key to your success in any endeavour is you.  In order to earn more, you must learn more, and learning is a never-ending process.

We often think we’re stuck with who we are. Have you ever said to yourself… “If I was only a little better at “so-and-so”, then I’d be successful.” Well, you can get better at “so-and-so” if you put your mind to it and improve your skills.

  

The Key To Success

To live the life you dream about, recognize that you’ve got to take responsibility for your future.

It’s not your boss’s job to make you rich.  Neither is it the government’s place to take care of you. And by all means, you don’t want to be a burden to your family, do you?  Of course not.  In today’s world, it’s your responsibility to create wealth . . . and you can do it.

In order to truly achieve all the success that you desire you must take complete responsibility for every result you get.
