What are YOUR chances of Rags to Riches

Dear Entrepreneur,

You’ve been lied to. You’ve been misled and if you’re like millions of people, you are just starting to realize that!

In 2004, I was broke, burned out, frustrated, and at the end of my rope. Literally. I felt like my life was on a leash. A leash that allowed me to leave the house at 7 am, get as far as work, and at the end of the day return home, tired and exhausted, a leash that for the most made my life not much unlike that of a cow on farm.

A life of survival, getting by, making just enough to pay my bills and meet the basic needs of existence; a life like a cow in the pasture, surviving, existing and watching life pass by.

To a fish in water, water is all he knows. Millions of people are like fish, not realizing the very context that they are living within.

The fact that you are reading this right now tells me that you have noticed the water. You have noticed the life you are living, and not living. You have noticed that the rich around you are getting richer. You have noticed that poor among you are getting poorer.

You have noticed and are taking action. You are taking actions that inform you and are making you more aware. You are taking actions to education yourself and educate yourself. You are arming yourself with knowledge and understanding, something that can NEVER be taken from you.

You are taking action that will directly and dramatically change the course of life for you, your family, your community and everyone else in your life that may be impacted by your transition into wealth.

You are taking actions that will have a lasting impact on the quality of your life and the life of your future generations. The vary fact that you are STILL reading has set ou apart from the masses so far, in ways you don’t even understand.

You see, most people have given up. They have long ago given up hope that this dream was still alive for them. That the even exists a way, a path, a solution, a means, a way out.

A way out of the rat race and obsession with mere survival; a life for a hamster or lab rat, a life without choices, opportunity, or freedom to live life on your terms.

Billions of people around the world live in developing countries with the foot of oppression on their necks shoving their faces into the mud, opportunity withheld by war, poverty, absence of infrastructure, etc.

The only thing more pathetic than this in my opinion, is the fact that there are hundreds of millions of people in developed countries, especially here in North America, who do not have the foot of oppression on their necks, but because of their programming, chose to lay with their faces in the mud regardless.

The fact that you are STILL reading, tells me that you have noticed and are beginning to take action!

However, there are millions of people who are now ready to profit at the expense of your awakening. People who are willing and ready to cheat lie and steal from you by misleading you and convincing you that they will show you “rags to riches”. How they did it and how many others are doing it.

They are wolves in sheep clothing, promising you “Easy Money’ and “Get Rich Quick”. Promising you the world, selling you a dream, looking to profit from your rise.

This message is for those of you who are willing question everything you have ever been told or led to believe about becoming a successful entrepreneur in the direct selling industry. About your chances of success in network marketing, about what it really takes to excel in a industry that for the most part is run by con artists pitching their “next best” pills, potions, lotions, e-books, and all sorts of other hyped up, fluffed up, exaggerated BS for many times its actual value!

People lying to you about how much money they have made in the last 30 days, how easy it was and how people are crawling over each other to buy their very own garage full of overpriced crap or online library of “incredibly valuable life transformational” information.

More specifically this is a message for the 30 million or so people in North America who have come to the network marketing industry in the last 20 years with the hopes of creating a better life for themselves and their families. Who have bought into the dream of residual income for life, a different zip code, and nicer house, a BMW, a dream vacation and maybe even time to watch your kids grow up.

Having the ability to decide for ones self, when to take that vacation and when to come home. Not having a boss that is less than

A life without having to read the menu from left to right, maxed out credit cards, little or no saving or security, and

You feel conned, mislead, and lied to about the American Dream. You feel like everything you have been told, taught and led to believe, is actually at the center of what is wrong.

Starting with your education that afforded you the job you have right now, you feel like you have been programmed and wired to act think and believe in a certain way, a way that is obviously not working. A way that is keeping millions of people just like you, stuck in dead-end jobs, spending more every month than they are actually making.

You feel like there is almost some grand conspiracy working against you that no matter how hard you work to get ahead, you c an still feel the ground slipping beneath your feet.

Maybe you are one of millions of people who are fed up and frustrated by a life that is consumed by a never-ending hamster wheel of survival. Chances are you are frustrated with the fact that regardless how hard you work or try to get ahead; you cannot seem to pay down those credit cards bill, afford that family vacation, or get new tires for your car.

The Solution:

The fact that you are reading this right now tells me that you understand that the only way to financial independence is to gain the necessary mind and skill sets to allow you to provide something of value to those around you who are also looking for help

The only solution is for you embark on the most grueling mission of personal and professional development possibly imaginable.

Gaining the skills and resources, connections and opportunities, belief and focus that will allow you to provide something of value and service to those around you.

You see, to the degree that you are able to assist and empower to solve the problems that they are facing their lives, to this degree will your own income gradually increase. To the degree that you become more valuable to the world and able to leverage yourself to provide more service to more people at a time, that this degree will your income explode and grow.

This is the beauty of the network marketing industry, (the concept at least). By learning some very basic skills like marketing and good communication, you can leverage yourself and help a lot of people by teaching them WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY LEARNED.

This is the secret, you can’t “take” (money) in this economy without providing something of value. This is why countless money making opportunities (scams) come and go every week.

Countless people are looking to circumvent the system so to speak, and make money out of thin air. These people pitch the dream; on how easily they used company XYZ to “get rich” and how you can do it too!

Look at all the testimonials of the countless people who also did it. In some cases they are able to make a very compelling case and lure countless people into their schemes.

Deep down inside, we all know that get rich quick and easy money do not exist, yet there is a little part in everyone, who still believes, “what if!?” What if it is real? What if this is different? What if this is what I have been looking for all this time? This is what I was missing?

Again, this is where the wolves come in, this is the angle that they market, this is how they are able to lure people from opportunity to opportunity, the next best deal to the next best even BETTER deal.

Countless people are trapped in this cycle of get rich quick, easy-money hungry people looking to get rich off of nothing and by doing nothing and pitching all their friends and family on the same.

The Secret:

Find a mentor, a coach and a leader, someone who is in a legitimate company providing legitimate products of service and value with a legitimate marketing system that you can leverage.

Someone is not only able, but more importantly willing and incentivized by their company to teach you everything they know.

Someone who will allow you to CarbonCopy them and everything they know to work helping you to eliminate as many of the variable from your success as possible.

Find a company that you can be incredibly proud to share with others. (a big sign you have found the one!) You think for a minute I (or any of my leaders) would be remotely as successful as we are if we were not incredibly proud of our company, marketing system, products and services?

Of course not! How successful would Tiger be if he were embarrassed to talk about golf? Or Oprah if she were embarrassed about philanthropy or woman’s rights and poverty?

You cannot hope to build lasting and sustainable long-term wealth if passion does not permeate everything that involves you and your business.

You can’t afford to make the mistakes that countless people have made before you. Be smart and apply your energy wisely.

Re: New Video - Should I Get A Job Or Start A Business? - Hi Evan, I was curious to know what you'd suggest and I think you gave excellent advice. Taking a year out to try and start your own business is a great idea. Taking a year out after college is a well established option so I guess it doesn't prejudice your chances of getting a job should you wish to do so later on; it probably improves your chances if you've been getting valuable experience of managing a business and of course, if all goes well, you won't need to find out. Definitely a video for my website. Thanks! David
Delivering True Value - I've only just recently started to dwell on the concept of "Value". It's a word I've taken for granted in the English language and not spent time to understand it's meaning. Maybe through the law of attraction I came across a download of "Science of Getting Rich" and the definition of Value came about in Chapter 6: How Riches Come to You. Here are the two paragraphs that clarified it for me: [quote:2ax6tvj9]"You do not have to get something for nothing, [i:2ax6tvj9]but can give to every person more than you take from him.[/i:2ax6tvj9]"[/quote:2ax6tvj9] [quote:2ax6tvj9]"When you rise from the competitive to the creative plane, you can scan your business transactions very strictly, and if you are selling any person anything which does not add more to his life than the thing he give you in exchange, you can afford to stop it. You do not have to beat anybody in business. and if you are in business which does beat people, get out of it at once. Give everyone more in [i:2ax6tvj9]use value[/i:2ax6tvj9] than you take from him in [i:2ax6tvj9]cash value[/i:2ax6tvj9]. Then you are adding to the life of the world by every business transaction."[/quote:2ax6tvj9] If you read the 4 page chapter your will understand that adding value does not have to be in monetary terms. In this day and age information (use value) if tailored to a partners needs that they can act on has tremendous Value.
Re: Specific Strategies To Raise PR Levels? - For me both as a user and as a marketing assistant, PR is very important. It's the basis. For example if I'm searching something on the Internet, and i open a website that has 2PR or lower, the chances to read it are decreasing.
Who are the online entrepreneurs? - Hi Shri - the definition is open to interpretation. My thought was are people unrealistic when they try to start up their own online business - is it easy to get started compared to other businesses? What are you chances of success?
Prize contest - Hi David - yes, if you notice, SmartWoman won one of the prizes last month despite only having 14 posts for the month so it's open to anyone! That being said, the more your post, the more chances you have at winning!
