Turning the Odds in Your Favor...

Remember when you were a kid?

Anything was possible. You could have chosen to do anything with your life. You had a million choices.

Look at your life today. Is it what you imagined when you were just a kid? Are you happy with your life today? Is your future bright and exciting?

What happens to most of us along our journey through life? What happens to our hopes and dreams? Why do 95% fall short of what we dreamed possible when we were too young to know any better?

The messages you read at my blog are aimed directly at the 5% WHO GET IT, and realize the single most important ingredient to success.

In my business, I get to meet a lot of people all of the time. We talk about their financial goals and dreams, and we implement systems and strategies to turn those dreams into reality.

Eventually, my clients begin to understand the secret to success.

Learn this lesson well. In fact, promise yourself that you will reflect on this for at least 10 minutes today and apply it in your life. It’s that important.

You will come to learn from me that the single best way for most people to reach their financial dreams is to go into business for themselves. Become an entrepreneur.

There are countless business ventures out there that work. If you surf the internet, you will find enough options to keep you busy forever. Look in the “businesses for sale” section of your local newspaper for even more options.

Of course, you can always learn how to invest in real estate with little or no money of your own, and create millions that way.

Same thing goes for stocks or options trading or foreign currency exchange.

Have you ever heard of seminars where you can learn how to become wealthy in real estate, or internet marketing, or network marketing, or ………fill in the blank?

In my days running Peak Potentials Training, I got to see firsthand what really happens to seminar attendees.

Suppose 1,000 people were spending 3 days at a boot camp learning how to create million dollar web sites.

30 to 50 of the people who attend go on to create million dollar web sites. The rest never even try, or never stay at it long enough to succeed.

Across town on the same weekend, 1,000 people were spending 3 days at a boot camp learning how to create wealth buying homes with little or no money down.

30 to 50 of the people who attend go on to create million dollar net worth. The rest never even try, or never stay at it long enough to succeed.

Is the problem with the programs, or is with the person who attends the program? Why is it that there are always a few who succeed but most don’t?

There are seminars held all over North America every single week teaching people how to succeed in their areas of expertise. There are experts in every type of business that have audio programs and training manuals and systems in place to teach you how to do their business too.

Getting to the information is a huge step, but only a step. Those who aren’t learning more, especially about how to win the money game, haven’t even taken this step, GETTING EDUCATED. Equally important, is taking the knowledge and putting it into ACTION, and working at it until success is reached. That's where 95% fail.

Before you will ever have real and lasting success in your outer life, YOU WILL HAVE TO GROW YOURSELF INTO THAT PERSON CAPABLE OF HAVING REAL AND LASTING SUCCESS.

For most, that’s going to mean making changes in your life. If you are unwilling to change, to look for new and better ways to do things and to think differently than the programs you are running on now, you have no chance for the kind of success I’m referring to here. This is only for those of you who truly want to join the top 5% and achieve success at extraordinary levels.

I am here to tell you right now that YOU CAN MAKE YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS COME TRUE. You do not have to resign yourself to your current financial situation in life. You can create success at levels you probably wouldn’t even dream of today.

It starts with your commitment to INVESTING IN YOURSELF. Until you grow yourself into the kind of person capable of having REAL AND LASTING success, you will continue to get what you’ve always got.

When you begin to focus on mastering business and entrepreneurial skills, financial and money management skills, and personal development skills, my friend, I guarantee you, nothing can stop you. And I’m right here to keep you on track.

Namaste.

Earn it, Keep it, Grow it...........

Are you reaching your full financial potential?

Imagine if you were…….

Imagine what your life would be like if you could just figure out how to reach your full financial potential….

Most people have given up. They’ve completely resigned themselves to the financial life they live today, and accept this as a permanent fact.

THIS IS A WAKEUP CALL!!

No matter how most are doing financially, it’s rare that someone is coming even remotely close to reaching their full financial potential.

In fact, less than 5% of Americans today are financially free. Less than 5% of all Americans have enough passive income coming in every month to pay for their expenses.

There are proven principles and strategies that once learned, will automatically take you on a journey that leads to your full financial potential.

Just because you don’t know these strategies (that can take you to all of your financial dreams) doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. All that means is that you have never been exposed to them.

EARN IT…..KEEP IT…..AND GROW IT….

Let’s begin with the income that you currently earn.

If you have a job, you have a fixed salary, you have a ceiling on your income.

The biggest advantage of having a job doesn’t even exist anymore. Job security is a thing of the past.

Unless you reach the highest levels in a major corporation, the odds of you creating wealth are slim and none. You have virtually no chance to reach financial freedom going this route.

Maybe you’re in business?

Statistically, the odds aren’t pretty. 80% are going to go broke or lose money. For the remaining 20%, 15% have bought themselves a job, and only 5% are creating wealth.

But there has never been a time like today where entrepreneurs can succeed on a huge scale, and sometimes very quickly.

Would you like to join that elite 5%?

Learn from the world’s best entrepreneurs, and you can make your fortune too. It’s as simple as finding someone who is achieving the results you want, and then simply learning and using their proven system.

The advantage you have as an entrepreneur is that there is no ceiling on your income. You can dramatically grow your income just by learning to be a better entrepreneur. And becoming successful is a learnable skill.

If your goal is to become financially free, you increase your chances infinitely simply by starting and growing a business. But it has to be the right business with the right business strategies. You want to focus on earning money, and earning more each month, each year.

Then comes the KEEPING IT part…..

The single most important factor that separates the financially successful and financially unsuccessful is MONEY MANAGEMENT. It doesn’t matter how good you are at making money if you don’t manage it properly.

On top of that, if you don’t learn a system for managing the money you currently have, you will have a difficult time getting more, and more than likely, you’d lose it anyway.

Unfortunately, most are terrible money managers. How do you rate as a money manager? Do you have a system for managing your money now? Do you use it regularly?

Learning to become an excellent money manager is a decision you need to make before you will ever reach your full financial potential. Committing to learning a money management system and then keeping with it will have a huge impact on your life.

A big component to winning the money game is to understand the rules. Becoming an excellent money manager is critical to winning the game. And whether you realize it or not, you are now playing this game, and over your lifetime, you are either going to win it, or you are going to lose it. Which do you choose? If you choose to win the game, you will need to excel as a money manager.

Not only that, there are strategies that allow you to begin to recapture much of the money your spending. By creating the right system, you can change the financial flow of energy in your life from "cash out" to "cash in" and recapture dollars that would otherwise be lost forever. Now that’s a way to KEEP more of your own money.

GROWING IT is the final piece to the puzzle. You have to become an expert in investing your money. And the place to begin is in the best investment you can ever make. INVEST IN YOURSELF. No matter what happens, once you have learned success skills, no one can ever take them away from you, you can never lose them. The truly successful people never stop educating themselves and never stop learning. That means investing money and time and effort. Understand this and accept it, or else accept the fact they you are doomed to you current situation. YOU will need to become the person capable of growing your money.

You’d be surprised how far a little investment in yourself can take you. But it has to be the right information from the right teacher for the right reason.

Investments will come in 2 forms. Some investments will involve placing your money in different instruments to either earn you interest, or dividend income, or profits from the sales. This is called money earning you money.

Some investments will involve putting your money in a business where you don’t have to physically be there, and living off the profits of the business. This is called business earning you money.

When you maximize all 3 areas, EARN IT, KEEP IT AND GROW IT…..

you have positioned yourself to change your financial life, and begin to reach your full financial potential.

Keep following along with this blog to learn more and more secrets to reaching your full financial potential.

Namaste,

Jeff

Humor From My Clients....

I get a lot of funny stuff from my clients, and I got this today.....Enjoy!

Subject: 8 dumbest ways to check out.....

Eighth Place In Detroit , a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.

Seventh Place A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran," accidentally jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.

Sixth Place While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Fifth Place Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.

Fourth Place After stepping around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into H&J Leather & Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up, and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds.Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt.

Third Place Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 A.M. so they lit a quarter stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would happen. Apparently they failed to notice the window was closed.

RUNNER UP Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more heated and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay near by. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and the tied the other to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.

AND THE WINNER IS... Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt ( Paderborn , Germany ) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief. Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded. The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves... "Shit happens!"

Amazing stuff?? Huh?

Gotta have a sense of humor...

Namaste.

Can It Really Be Done??

Can someone really make a million dollars in their own business in 3 years or less?

My mentor and friend, Harv Eker, President of Peak Potentials Training, taught me that it absolutely could be done, and I am here to tell you all right now, that I am a living testament to this fact!

Harv wrote a small book called SPEEDWEALTH several years ago that outlined exactly what to do to accomplish this feat. There were no smoke and mirrors, just the absolute necessary information to make it happen.

When I ran Peak Potentials Training for Harv several years ago, I saw first hand how he used these exact same strategies to grow his company exponentially.

Now, you’d think that given this incredible knowledge everyone who learned the SPEEDWEALTH system would become financially free. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth.

Why do you think it is that so few people actually succeed at creating a million dollar business in 3 years or less, even when they’ve been given the exact steps to achieve these results?

It’s primarily because of the way most people are wired. It’s because of most people’s financial and success blueprint. It’s because…..IT’S ONE THING TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, BUT IT’S A WHOLE DIFFERENT THING TO DO WHAT YOU KNOW!!

Back in the 1980’s, Harv opened up one of the first personal home fitness stores in Toronto, Canada. He learned how to market his store so that he had crowds of people lined up just trying to get in. Once he had his formula for creating a profitable store, he rapidly opened up a dozen more, before selling half his interest to the Heinz Corporation (the ketchup people) for $1.5 million just 3 years later.

At the same time he opened his store, another person opened up a competing store across town. I understand, she still owns her store. She opened her store to earn a living. Harv opened his store to create wealth. A bit of a different mindset, wouldn’t you agree?

When my traveling from Phoenix to Vancouver became a burden, and it was obvious that Peak Potentials would never have to open up a U.S. operation, it was time for me to move on. And I vowed that I would put the entrepreneurial strategies I learned from Harv and his guest trainers to the test and see what I could do in 3 years or less using those methodologies.

Forget about 3 years! I’ll be there in 2 years! Not only that, but I’m having more fun, taking more vacations, and enjoying life more now than at any other time in my life. I’m creating massive value for my clients, and as the saying goes, success breeds success. The more clients I have, the more income I have. That allows me to do more marketing, which in turn creates even more clients. Happy, satisfied clients refer their friends and relatives to me, and my business is growing exponentially now.

Within the next year, I hope to be training others in the use of many of these entrepreneurial systems as I do my public speaking and training around Phoenix.

Do you want to create financial freedom for yourself and your family? Are you ready to start thinking big and living big? If you are, the opportunity to make that dream a reality is within your grasp.

There are 3 huge components to financial success…..

EARN more money….
KEEP more of your money….
GROW your money.

The entrepreurial strategies will show you how to earn more money. BANK ON YOURSELF will show you how to keep more of your money. All that’s left is how to grow your money, and I’ll be sharing those ideas with my clients as we get to that stage.

You are just 3 years away from living your financial dreams. As another mentor of mine, Wade Cook said many years ago…..”If you’re willing to do for a few years what most people won’t, you can do for the rest of your life what most people can’t”.

Commit to joining the elite top 5%. Join this club and you will never regret it the rest of your life. This blog is dedicated to you, the 5%er!

Namaste.

Jeff
