You are either going to win or you are going to lose..

Whether you realize it or not, you are playing a game. It’s called the Money Game.

You play it, I play it, in fact, everyone you know plays it.

Over our lifetimes, we are either going to win the money game, or we are going to lose it.

Unfortunately, most people lose the game, and it has devastating results on their lives.

Why do most people lose at the Money Game?

The answer to this question is critical to your financial life.

If you want to be one of the few who actually do win the money game, you will want to read the remainder of this post closely.

Would you like to know the one most critical factor to winning the money game?

This one factor is more important than all other factors combined!

You can know all about business, and marketing, and stocks, and bonds, and real estate, and negotiations, and every other investment and business strategy in the world, and it won’t make one bit of difference as far as your financial success is concerned.

I’ve written about this one factor dozens of times over the past 2 years on my blog.

Yet, as I meet with dozens of clients monthly, I still see the same core problem time after time.

If you truly want to win the money game, you MUST begin immediately to become an expert in this one area.

What is it?

The single, most important distinction between the financial winners and the financial losers, is that the winners are all EXCELLENT MONEY MANAGERS.

The winners all have a SYSTEM for managing their money that leads them to success.

Having a successful money management SYSTEM takes all of the guesswork out of what you need to do.

Why?

Because once you have a successful system to work with, you no longer have to think.

All you have to do is simply follow the system, and it will take you exactly where you want to go.

Unfortunately, less than 1 out of every 10 people have any kind of money management system.

I’d venture to say that less than 1 out of every 50 clients I meet have a money management system that they follow on a consistent basis.

The first rule in a great money management system is to PAY YOURSELF FIRST.

That’s the exact opposite to what most people do.

What do you do each month with your money?

If you’re like most people, you pay all your bills, and at the end of the month, if there’s any money left over, you keep for yourself. Sound familiar?

If you’re like most people, guess what’s left at the end of the month? NOTHING!

You have to put yourself at the FRONT OF THE LINE! Before any of your bills get paid, you have to pay yourself first.

Actually, you want to pay yourself at least 10% of every dollar you earn, now, and for the rest of your life.

This is money you set aside for your future.

You will NEVER spend this money. EVER! This is money you will grow over your working lifetime, so that you can retire one day on the interest and profits it produces.

I can always tell whether a client will have a chance to win the money game by how they manage their money.

Winning the money game isn’t hard. You just need to understand the rules and play by them.

The single most important factor in winning the money game is to become an excellent money manager.

And the first rule to being an excellent money manager is to always pay yourself first.

If you ever have the opportunity, I would highly encourage you to get to a seminar offered by my friend and mentor Harv Eker at Peak Potentials Training called THE MILLIONAIRE MIND INTENSIVE. It will transform your life. I promise you that.

Namaste.

Everything happens for a reason......

Last week I heard from an acquaintance who I had suggested attend the “Millionaire Mind Intensive” Program offered by Peak Potentials Training. He called to tell me he had just returned from the event and what a terrific experience it was for him.

It made me think back to my experience at the MMI and how I even found out about it in the first place.

In August of 2003, I was surfing the net looking for million dollar ideas. Quite by accident, I stumbled onto the Peak Potentials Training web site, and saw a picture of my old friend T. Harv Eker. The last time we’d seen each other was in 1979, when Harv came to Phoenix and we spent a few days together.

In the years afterwards, I’d heard from my cousins that Harv was in Florida trying his hand at being an entrepreneur, and then later that he was in Canada building a business, and then, that Harv had sold his business and retired to San Diego, and finally that he’d become a “motivational speaker”.

Now, all of a sudden, I found myself looking at a picture of Harv at his web site. I was so excited to find Harv and see what he’d accomplished that I had to contact him just to congratulate him and wish him continued success.

Fortunately, my message was forwarded to Harv, and he replied to me, inviting me to come to LA and attend his now famous 3-day Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar.

Because personal growth and development is a passion of mine, and since I hadn’t seen Harv in 24 years, taking him up on his offer was a no brainer.

As I prepared for my trip to LA, I was focused on seeing Harv and watching him on stage. I hadn’t thought much about the program or what I might learn.

The MMI was an incredible event. Together with around 1,200 participants, we experienced 3 days unlike any we’d had before.

It took me all of about an hour before I realized that this was not your typical seminar. I’ve been to dozens of personal growth programs but nothing could even come close to this.

It was apparent to me that I wasn’t the only one who was experiencing these feelings. At the breaks I could see virtually everyone bursting with excitement about what they were learning. And Harv was awesome. His unique style captured our attention. We were all learning, growing, and having a ton of fun.

If you are into personal growth and financial success like I am, you have got to get to the Millionaire Mind Intensive. For at least the next while, you and a guest can attend the MMI for FREE simply by buying Harv’s new best selling book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”. This is the deal of a lifetime. People spend thousands of dollars for programs that aren’t half as good.

Why am I telling you this? I have no vested interest in Peak Potentials anymore. I don’t earn a penny for promoting Harv and Peak Potentials. I’m telling you this because I believe that the MMI can be a life-transforming event for you. I believe that if you are ready to take your life to a whole new level, the MMI can pave the way. I believe it because I’ve experienced it myself as a participant. I believe it because having attended numerous MMI’s as a staff member, I personally saw and spoke with thousands of MMI attendees. I’ve referred my wife, my stepdaughter, and numerous friends and relatives to the event.

Since leaving Peak Potentials earlier this year, I don’t get to see Harv anymore. He’s busy fulfilling his mission, and I’m on the road consulting. But I can tell you that I feel blessed for the time I had working with Harv, and that I’ve never known a creative and business genius quite like him. He’s a very special guy.

So be sure you read Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and attend the MMI. It’s something you’ll remember for the rest of your life.

Namaste.
