Break Free from the rat race

It's true.

Home businesses are altering the lives of hundreds of people --- for life. I believe you deserve to know more about how the same can occur for you.

It's been my experience that most people don't live the life they want to live because they haven't got the time, or they haven't got the money. Whether they're scratching out a living or earning a substantial income that eats up too much time, people are struggling all over the world. It's because they've never learned how to earn real money. No one's ever taught them.

Earning money really isn't about earning money at all!

It's about breaking out of a programmed cycle first; it's about freeing yourself from misconceptions, misperceptions, old belief systems and plain old trash you have in your head about accumulating and possessing financial abundance.

When people aren't enjoying the abundance they think they deserve, they usually blame outside circumstances. Granted, it may have been the circumstance that put you there initially, but it's your mind that locked down the chains.

The fact is, most of us are trapped. And somebody's got to break the cycle. Whether we're talking about the third world and someone who's earning $60 a month, or we're talking about America where somebody's stuck in a $30,000 job or a $150,000 job ... they're all trapped just the same.

People who live in abundance have simple, multiple sources of income that require very little time or capital and can be put in place easily outside of their primary job.

There are really just Three Steps to a better life:

1. Mindset first.
2. A Network of like-minded people supporting you.
3. And Multiple Sources of Income.

All the people you seek, all the resources you lack, all the framework you're missing .. it's all right here.

Napoleon Hill once said, "Successful people make decisions quickly and change them, if at all, very slowly."

Override your urge to put this off. We're not just about making a lot of money --- it's about breaking the cycle .. for life.

Every millionaire and billionaire will tell you --- as your network grows, your net worth explodes. But only if you're associating with the right people. The truth is, it really doesn't take that much to achieve your dreams. It's not about effort, it's about the environment you create around you.

Just 3% of the world's people control 97% of the resources. Over the last 100 years, and despite wars, coups, depressions and recessions, that 3% has remained --- and will continue to remain --- constant.

In your lifetime, this statistic will not change. But you can change your position in life in relation to that third percentile. You have the choice: Either travel with the rest of the crowd --- the 97% who just make it by in life, or participate with like-minded people in the quest for financial and time freedom.

As I'm looking out the window of my home office today I'm thankful for the 10 second commute I have from my bedroom to my home office and the traffic jam tripping over my dogs in the hallway.

You too can begin to enjoy the many benefits provided by a home business if you'll only change your mindset, get involved with the right people, and build for yourself another source of income.

21 Pearls of Wisdom

Re: "21 Pearls of Wisdom" by Mitch Axelrod
www.axelrodlearning.com

1. Don't worry about improving your image. Improve your substance. The world is starved for substance. Most people are working on image. Few work to improve substance. Those who do will stand head and shoulders above the rest.

2. Fail fast. Drop losing projects immediately. After trying to find a solution to a marketing problem that simply didn't exist, Gary Halbert wrote three words on the white board that most of us were thinking in our heads: DROP THIS PROJECT! It's not easy to let go of things we're emotionally attached to, but it's necessary to move on.

3. Most people are self-absorbed. Appeal to their selfish side. Forget your point of view. It doesn't matter. If you want to sell Johnny Jones what Johnny Jones buys you MUST see Johnny Jones through Johnny Jones eyes. What does he want more than anything?

4. If I found the cure for AIDS, everyone would get it. How much money I make would not be an issue. When you discover something important enough, the goal is to make sure everyone who wants or needs it can get it. Shift attention from how much can you make to how many people can you help. The money will come.

5. NOTHING is risk-free. LIFE is not risk-free. You're a heartbeat away from a Christopher Reeve moment. If you can't accept risk, you are living on the wrong planet. What risk can you take that might alter the quality of life as you know it?

6. Hire experts. Don't try to do everything yourself. Especially when it comes to the most important parts, including copyrighting and crafting your sales message. Don't spend a fortune on the unimportant things, then economize on the pivotal items. Know when to bring in the experts.

7. Outspend the other guys. Many businesses do thing on the cheap. Shoestringing and bootstrapping are successful strategies when money is tight. When money is there, spend it. A business campaign can rise or fall based on the money behind it. Don't hesitate to invest money, especially on the important things. If you don't have it, find someone who does and share the bounty. 100% of nothing is still nothing!

8. You don't want to sell just one million books (widgets, etc.). You want anyone who wants what you have to be able to buy it. Don't set arbitrary limits. Find a way for everyone who wants what you have to get it. It will enrich you in the process.

9. Don't become a student of products. Become a student of markets. Know your markets better than you know your products. If you fall in love with your product, it will blind you to reality. Fall in love with markets. If there isn't a market, reconsider or drop the product. Use the SRDS, the Standard Rates and Data Service directory to find your buyers (www.srds.com). It's not a cheap resource, but it's vital if you plan to reach a pool of hungry fish.

10. Don't do LMS. "lesser mortal shit" (a Halbertism). Delegate everything except your highest value work. If you run out of highest value work, do the next most valuable work. Don't do $10/hour work or you won't ever reach your highest and best value.

11. Two things will get a person's attention and interest: showmanship, and the reason why. To get the attention of the person you're after, a little theatre will go a long way. Be creative. If you've got 20 centers of influence, don't send a letter. Send a courier. Gain their interest is with a powerful reason why. Why would they, why SHOULD they give you their time and attention? What's the most compelling "reason why" you can give that satisfies their self-interest? If you don't know, ask your buyers.

12. Understand the Triangle of Marketing. #3 is the copy, #2 is the message, and #1 is the audience. Make sure you have the right/best/hungriest/rabid audience, or your message and copy won't ever get seen, heard or read. A mediocre message to a great audience will always do better than a great message to a mediocre audience. Know your audience, hone your message, and don't scrimp on copy. Like an interesting story, good copy gets read.

13. Don't care about what ANYONE thinks. How often do we hesitate and delay because of what others might think? We thwart our success and happiness worrying about what other people think. We don't regret the shots we do take, even when they don't work out. We regret most of the shots we don't take. Do what your heart desires. Don't worry about what others think.

14. Tell your story. A powerful story creates an emotional link. I call this the E-Link. John Carlton, one of the world's highest paid copywriters, says personality is missing in most marketing messages. He suggests we "pinch them in the butt" and tap the passionate sweet spot. Tell a story. Connect it to what the person can DO (results, accomplishments), and how the person will FEEL (the strongest E-Link). What story can/will you tell?

15. Greedy people lead lives that suck. Enough said.

16. Gun to the head thinking can get you out of a jam or tough time. If someone had a gun to your head, and to save your life you had to craft the best message you could, what would you say?

17. There's too much bad news. We can't hear the voices of light. Cats find the sun spots. They seek the patches of light. How can you be a source of light?

18. Speak. "from down below." If you want your cred-ability to soar, don't speak from your mouth; speak from your pelvis. Imagine your entire chest cavity as one big voice box. Speak "from down below". and you will create a stronger, more powerful presence. (Thank you, Burt Dubin for this little known sage advice used by opera singers to get
the most from their precious instrument).

19. You're NOT in the marketing business. You're in the ARITHMETIC business. If your arithmetic doesn't add up, you won't have a business for very long. Start counting.

20. You want to sell your products and services to "addicts" - profound, irrational, passionate, rabid, insane people who buy frequently and spend a lot. That's your IDEAL buyer. Where are they? How can you reach them? What will you say to them?

21. 10,000 hours. that's how long it takes to become really good at something. That's 2,000 hours per year for five years. It can take doctors and other professionals twice that long (10 years), and most self-made millionaires take four times that long (that's right, 20 years is the average time it takes for self-made millionaires to achieve "overnight" success). You can't invest a few hours in something and expect to become an expert. There are many self-proclaimed "pseudo-gurus" who emerge after one or two successes and claim expert status. Experts hone their chops over time. What's your expertise? Hone it, refine it and continuously improve it.
