If You're Not in One of These Two Groups....You've Got a Major Problem...

Do you realize that people, just like you, are going from poor to financially free every year?

They’re no smarter than you, or more educated than you, or had any more money to start with than you do. They just KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON’T, AND THEY’RE DOING SOMETHING YOUR AREN’T.

My financial consulting practice draws hundreds of people from every background imaginable. Thanks to the effective radio advertising that I’ve been doing in Phoenix for years, I’ve created a large group of clients. Every single day, from the FRONT LINES, I see exactly how most people play the money game, manage their money, and where they’re headed financially.

Here is what I see……

I see EVERYBODY struggling with money. Most can hardly keep their financial head above water.

I see EVERYBODY mismanage their money. Most haven’t got a clue what proper money management is, and are playing a losers game.

But…almost everybody I meet with wants EXACTLY what I have…..Financial Freedom.

What is Financial Freedom?..........

Imagine having enough money coming in every month to pay your bills without you HAVING to go to work……

Imagine having the FREEDOM to CHOOSE to do EXACTLY whatever you want to do with your time without the worry about having the money to pay the bills……

We’re not talking about making millions and millions of dollars, unless of course that’s what you want to shoot for. We’re not even talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For many people, we’re talking about $3,000 a month, or $5,000 or $7,000 a month.

Do you want to DRAMATICALLY increase your odds of becoming a financially free person?

There are only a two groups who have the odds in their favor when it comes to financial freedom….

Professionals, like doctors, lawyers, dentists, etc…… This group earns enough income to be able to save and grow their wealth.

Entrepreneurs…..There are always a small group of entrepreneurs who beat the odds and create businesses that generate a great income.

Which group do you fall into?

Suppose you fall into the first group…..you’re a professional. You’re earning a great 6 figure income. I have many clients who fall into this category.

Guess what!

Most of these “intelligent” people have never been educated about money management, winning the money game, and becoming financially free.

What do they do with all of their money?

They SPEND it! All of it, AND MORE!

We have A NEGATIVE SAVINGS RATE in our country! Our expenses rise to meet our income…..and then some.

But, at least these folks have a fighting chance to win the game if they just learn the rules and take advantage of their situation.

Suppose you fall into the second group…….you’re a highly successful entrepreneur. You’ve figured out how to build a great business and you’re making a lot of money from it. I also have many clients who fall into this category.

Most of these “successful” people have never been educated about money management, winning the money game, and becoming financially free.

What do they do with all of their money?

They SPEND it! All of it, AND MORE!

But, at least these folks have a fighting chance to win the game if they just learn the rules and take advantage of their situation.

If you DON’T fall into one of these 2 categories, YOU HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM!!

It’s not that you haven’t any chance to ever become financially free, it’s just that the odds are 1 in a million against you.

To improve your odds, you can join one of these groups!

You could decide to go back to school to become a doctor, lawyer or dentist.

You could.

But it would be expensive, and take many years to accomplish.

Or…..You could choose to LEARN how to become an entrepreneur.

You could LEARN the exact thoughts that successful entrepreneurs think!

You could LEARN the exact principles that successful entrepreneurs use!

You could LEARN the exact skills that successful entrepreneurs master!

And you could LEARN step by step, exactly how to build your own successful entrepreneurial business.

Success as an Entrepreneur is a LEARNABLE skill!

It wouldn’t cost as much as going back to school to become a professional.

It wouldn’t take as much time.

It’s WAY MORE FUN!!

But…….IT’S ONE THING TO EARN IT! IT’S ANOTHER THING TO KEEP IT AND GROW IT!

For you to win the game, you have got to MASTER 3 areas of money. Each one requires different skills.

You have got to MASTER earning money, then keeping the money your earn, and finally growing the money you keep.

I’ve spent almost 40 years learning the money making secrets to success. Using the principles and strategies I teach my clients I became financially free.

Today my systems and strategies help all of my clients reach their full financial potential

Everyone’s financial potential is different. I can help you reach YOUR financial potential, whatever it is.

You just need to have the desire.

Today, with the aid of my Mastermind group, I am creating a state of the art, one of a kind online learning program that will allow anyone who has the desire to become financially free the tools to make it a reality.

If there was ever a course in your life that you’d want to get an “A” in, this’ll be the one. This course will transform your life. I promise that. You can’t possibly be the same person at the end of this program as you were when you started it.

You will have a new excitement about life that you haven’t felt in a long time. You will have more energy, more enthusiasm, more optimism.

If you want more Wealth and Abundance in your life, this course will be the opportunity of your lifetime.

Keep tuned as I get closer to finishing this program.

This blog is dedicated to everyone who has a burning desire to join the elite top 5%. If you’re one of them, this is the place for you.

Namaste.

Will You be Able to Climb High Enough?

Most people are wimps! They think small! They think fear! And as a result of their thinking, they struggle their whole lives.

This blog is dedicated to the top 5%, the people who have COMMITTED to taking complete control of their life and succeed at whatever they choose to do for themselves.

Once you realize that YOU are completely RESPONSIBLE for YOUR own life, YOU can begin to do something about it. YOU can think whatever you choose to, but the simple fact is YOU control your thoughts, your feelings, your income, your happiness, your relationships, well…..practically everything.

Today, people are blaming the economy for all their problems. The fact is, there will always be reasons for failure. That’s why only the top 5% are really successful. It’s so much easier to fail. Successful people overcome EVERYTHING. They don’t accept any excuse, they push on in spite of all odds.

In his best selling book THINK AND GROW RICH, Napoleon Hill laid out his philosophy of success and the principles that made it up. He demonstrated that regardless what someone’s original surroundings were, whether they grew up rich or poor, had education or not, had physical handicaps or other challenges, EVERYBODY has the seed of potential greatness within them if they can find a way to wake it from its slumber and raise its desire to a passion.

One of the greatest frustrations I see with my clients is in their approach to money and success. I can predict with certainty that the vast majority of people I meet with will all be struggling with money their entire lifetimes if they don’t get off the road they're on and get on one that can take them to freedom!

The problem that most people don’t realize, or else they don’t seem to know what to do about is that they will NEVER reach freedom from a JOB! If you BELIEVE that your best path to financial freedom is through a JOB, I hope you’re paid based on performance and results. But if you have a salary, or get paid by the hour, you have a CEILING on your income. Except for a bonus or a small raise, you can predict what your income will be.

WEALTH RULE #1. NO CEILING ON YOUR INCOME!!!

There are millions of roads you can hop on over your lifetime. Unfortunately only a very few of them lead you to freedom. Most of them take you down roads of struggle. Even worse, those roads are like parking lots from all the traffic congestion. What’s really great is that the roads that lead to freedom have very little traffic. That’s because few people take the time to find out about them.

As you grow yourself and your skills you climb higher up the mountain of success. And the higher you climb, the easier it is to spot the roads that lead to freedom from the roads that lead to struggle.

The roads to success are already there. The trailblazers who carved these roads may be long gone, but their directions are there if you want them. And the higher you climb up the mountain, the more of them you can identify.

All you have to do then is find the road that suits you best, and off you go.

Are you on a road that can take you to your financial freedom? If you aren’t, are you planning on doing anything about it? If you really want success, take control of your life, take control of your mind, and decide right now that you will COMMIT to getting on a road that will lead you to your success, however you define it!

Most important, stop reading, stop planning, and START DOING!! Get in the game, and give it all you’ve got.

Remember that when you read, you’re on the sidelines watching the game. It’s a passive activity. When you take action, when you start doing, you’re in the game. It’s an ACTION activity. We want to develop the habit of getting in the game. That’s where it’s won or lost. Not on the sidelines.

Believe that you are awakening the GIANT WITHIN YOU, as Tony Robbins likes to say. Because you truly have a giant within you, a force so incredible that if you ever unleashed it, you would be in for the ride of your life.

Climb high my friend, and spot those roads to success. You can only get high enough to spot them through constant improvement, personal development, and a COMMITMENT to your reaching your full potential.

I want to hear from you! Let me know what you think! Reading my blog is a passive activity. Writing a comment requires you to think and DO! Are you on the sidelines, or do you want to get in the game? It’s up to you.

Namaste.

If You Really Wanted.......

When you were an infant, you couldn’t even crawl. As you got to be a few months old, the crawling began. It wasn’t easy at first, but after a while, you got the hang of it, an off you went.

Then, you graduated to standing up! Whoa, that was a hard one. Walking was even tougher. Every time you stood up, you fell down. But, you kept on standing up until eventually you LEARNED how to walk.

Maybe as a kid, you decided you wanted to play the piano. So your parents signed you up for lessons, and you began to LEARN how to play. If you liked it, and you liked your teacher, you would continue to practice and play until you got good enough to play in front of an audience. From there on, if you continued to LEARN and practice, you simply got better and better.

Success in achieving ANY worthwhile goal is achievable. You do NOT have to be some brilliant genius to succeed. You just need to LEARN the WINNING FORMULA and follow it.

As I continue to study and analyze the most successful people in the world, the blueprint they leave behind shows us all the way to achieve their same level of success. Since I am a true believer of entrepreneurship, and how anyone can LEARN how to become a successful entrepreneur, I have focused many years learning and studying these people and their blueprints.

I know these formulas’s work, because I have applied them in my life to achieve everything I ever really wanted, and I know that if you were to LEARN and apply them as well, you would begin to see the same results.

The paths to financial freedom are few. There are millions more paths that will lead you to nowhere compared to the few paths that actually do lead you to success. Most people spend their lifetime going down a path that leads them to struggle. Unfortunately, that’s the only place their path leads them to. They have no chance for financial freedom unless they win the lottery or inherit a bunch of money, and my guess is, they’d blow it if they ever got it.

Do you want financial freedom? Do you want it sooner than later?

If you answered yes, what exactly are you doing to make that a reality in your life?

I would suggest to you that if you decided right now that over the next 36 months you WILL BECOME a successful entrepreneur, and began to LEARN the “winning formula”, you’d be AMAZED by what you could accomplish in just 36 months.

What else can you do in the next 36 months to move your towards you goal of financial freedom that will position you for success better than this???

Most people either have a job (Just Over Broke) or they say they’ve got a business when in fact all they’ve really done is bought themselves a job. That isn’t what WE want to do!

Our intention is to create freedom. It’s to create wealth. And while many people say that’s what they want, only a small percentage has the “winning formula” that can take them to their dreams.

If you really wanted to become financially free, you’d be doing everything you could to LEARN how to make that a reality. Are you? If you aren’t, why aren’t you?

Before you enter the game, you need to study and LEARN and practice and prepare yourself for your chance. Otherwise, you’ll fall flat on your face. We want to make sure you’re doing the right things and creating the right mindset for success.

Success is a journey, not a destination. Steady and consistent gets it done. Let’s make sure your life is filled with exciting opportunities that can take you exactly where you want to go.

Namaste.

Jeff

Do you see opportunities or obstacles?

After having seen hundreds of clients and prospects and comparing notes with my partner Scott who has seen many hundred more than I have, I have come to the following conclusions.

First, what I've been referring to as the 5%ers club is more like the 1%ers club! So few people are winning the money game that it's scary!

Second, most people are horrendous money managers. Since this is the single most important skill all wealthy people have, you'd hope that people would have a winning system for managing their money. Unfortunately, most don't.

Third, while everyone says they'd like to become financially free, NO ONE is actually doing anything to make it happen. And the few that are doing something are doing it all wrong, or half hearted, or going down a path that can never lead them to financial freedom.

Fourth, virtually no one understands that until they create enough PASSIVE INCOME to pay for their expenses that they will ALWAYS BE A SLAVE TO THEIR JOBS. Yet, most people have NO current passive income, nor are they creating streams of passive income. They are on the road that leads to nowhere.

I could go on and on.

If you are reading these words, take a moment and understand that there are winning ways of thinking and then there are all the rest. If you have made up your mind that you want to take your life, and especially your financial life to a whole new level, TRUST me when I tell you that everything you read here has worked in my life and can for you too. Nothing is difficult to do, it simply means you will need to change a few things. And we all know how difficult change can be!

One of your biggest challenges is to get into your WEALTH FILES and discover what your true beliefs are in these critical areas. It might be time for you to revise or update these files.

Harv Eker’s Wealth File Number 5

WEALTH FILE #5

Rich People focus on opportunities.
Poor people focus on obstacles.

FEAR! It’s amazing how POWERFUL fear plays into our lives. To some extent, all of us are affected by fear, some more than others.

The important question as far as you’re concerned is “how much is fear affecting my life, my wealth, my success?”

If your basic nature is fear based, and you are someone who constantly worries, now is the perfect opportunity to get it out on the table for you to evaluate and perhaps change.

When it comes to the mind, we all have our own “conditioned” mind. Our “conditioned” mind has one primary job, and that’s SURVIVAL. It DOESN’T care at all about your success, only your survival. Throughout your entire lifetime, it just wants you to survive. It would rather you not even try to change because change is the unknown, and there lurks DANGER in the unknown.

If you’re not sure what I’m referring to here, I’m talking about that little voice that’s having a conversation with you all day long. It’s the little voice that says “You can’t do that”, or “you better not try that”, or “what if”, or “why bother”, or practically anything that will dissuade you from doing something you normally don’t do.

It wants to keep you in “your comfort zone”. As long as you stay in “your comfort zone”, your conditioned mind is content, because it knows you are already surviving in “your comfort zone.”

Change, however, requires moving out of your comfort zone and trying something different. It means moving into your “uncomfort zone.” And for you to grow, you have to move outside of your “comfort zone”, which doesn’t make your conditioned mind happy at all.

Ask most people the definition of FEAR and they’ll say false evidence appearing real. But that’s just an acronym. FEAR is THE ANTICIPATION OF PAIN. Is fear based in the past, or in the future? The future. And your conditioned mind will anticipate future imagined pain, and then do everything in its power to move you in another direction. IT WILL STOP YOU IN YOUR TRACKS IF YOU LET IT!

Most people live in fear. They expect the worst and plan for it. They look to the obstacles in every new opportunity so that they won’t have to get out of their comfort zone. As a result, most people ARE POOR!!

Wealthy people have overcome their fears. They might still have fears, but they’ve learned how to deal with their fears and TAKE ACTION REGARDLESS what that “little voice” in their head is saying to them.

As a result, wealthy people look for the opportunities surrounding them every day. They focus on the potential profits. The poor? They focus on the potential losses.

The middle class have a little more optimistic point of view. They are more inclined to think….”I’ll give it a try and hope it works.”

Rich people take full responsibility for their lives. Their attitude is “It’ll work because I’LL make it work!” Their WEALTH FILE is filled with CONFIDENCE, that they WILL succeed, and if things don’t work out, they’ll be able to RECOVER.

There is always a risk to get the reward. Rich people are willing to take risk. But they do their homework in advance, and once they have all the facts, they choose to take action or not.

On the other hand, poor people expect to fail, and have little confidence in themselves or their abilities. As a result, all they see are the obstacles they don’t believe they can overcome, and they won’t take the risk. No risk, no reward.

The Law of Attraction includes focusing on what you want in your life. Rich people focus on opportunities, and as a result, opportunities abound. Poor people focus on the obstacles in their life, and as a result, obstacles abound.

Your view of life will determine what you find. Look for opportunities and that’s what you’ll find. Look for obstacles, and that’s what you’ll find. As far as rich people are concerned, when they run into obstacles they deal with them and then keep moving forward, always focused on their goal, and putting their energies into achieving their results.

I tell my clients this all the time. Rich and successful people focus on 3 things when it comes to money. They focus on earning it, keeping it and growing it. Poor people focus on just one thing, spending it! What we focus on expands!

Rich and successful people also understand that they can’t wait until they are experts to make decisions and move forward. They gather the best information they can as quickly as they can, they make a decision and go. Their WEALTH FILE is set for READY, FIRE, AIM. In other words, take ACTION and make corrections along the way.

There is no way for anyone to know everything that can happen in the future. It’s unrealistic to think you can anticipate and solve every single potential problem in advance. In life, we can only see so far into the future.

Jack Canfield (from Chicken Soup for the Soul fame) uses the example of driving a car at night from Los Angeles to New York. With your lights on you can only see a few hundred feet ahead of you. Once you get there, you can see the next few hundred feet. As long as you’re on the right highway, you can drive all the way from Los Angeles to New York in the dark, seeing just a few hundred feet ahead of you at any one time.

Life is a lot like that. Rich and successful people know that when they get to the next turn in the road, they’ll deal with whatever comes up. More importantly, they’re on the road and they’re moving forward. Getting on the road is critical. Poor people stay home so they can avoid any accidents.

Harv Eker calls it “getting in the corridor. The idea is to get in the game with whatever you’ve got from wherever you are.”

For example, when I chose to become a full time entrepreneur and leave Corporate America, I realized that I didn’t have the necessary skills to be successful. In fact, every business I’d ever tried crashed and burned, and so did all my money with it each time. I knew that I needed specific skills before I’d succeed. In my search I accidentally bumped into my old friend Harv Eker, and then spent the next year as Harv’s Chief Operating Officer helping build Peak Potentials Training into one of the fastest growing business and personal success training companies in the world.

More importantly, I got to work with one of the world’s MOST BRILLIANT marketers and entrepreneurs, and see first hand exactly what it takes to build a MEGAMILLION dollar business from scratch in a short period of time.

When my project was up and it was time to move back home to Phoenix, I was completely prepared to start my own business. I’d seen what I needed to see, and learned what I needed to learn.

By the way, when I accidentally bumped into my old friend Harv it had been almost 25 years since our last connection. Yet, just 5 minutes after I began searching the internet for ideas, I found Harv and the Peak Potentials web site. Coincidence?

My attitude is that TALK IS CHEAP. ACTIONS speak much louder than words. Rich people are action oriented. They get started and THEY DON’T STOP. They move confidently towards their dreams and goals. Poor people will talk and plan and strategize and meet, but they won’t DO anything, because they simply don’t have the belief in themselves that they can succeed. They are locked onto the obstacles.

What’s your WEALTH FILE filled with, opportunities or obstacles?

Now, Place you hand on your chest and say…

I FOCUS ON OPPORTUNITIES OVER OBSTACLES.
I GET READY, I FIRE, I AIM.

Namaste,

Jeff

Do You Realize This????

The world is going through major changes unlike we’ve ever experienced before.

Technology now allows all of us access to virtually any piece of information we desire at the push of a few buttons.

What does this mean for you and me?

It means that everything you ever need to know to accomplish anything you want in life is now within your reach.

It means that you can access the most successful minds in every area of life from the comfort of your home.

It means that you can communicate with people all over the world who share the same interests you do.

IT MEANS THAT YOU CAN CREATE WEALTH FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD YOU CHOOSE TO SPEND YOUR TIME!

In fact, as an entrepreneur, the Internet can be the fastest way for ANYONE to create financial freedom in this day and age.

Unfortunately, it isn’t quite as easy as setting up a web site and waiting for the money to start rolling in. Life doesn’t happen that way.

However, ANYONE who decides to devote 1,000 hours of their life to becoming an internet entrepreneur and really COMMITS to putting in the time and the effort and the financial investment, can become financially free.

The critical element is the system you choose to implement. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You don’t have to go through the school of hard knocks.

Just like the “real world”, THE FAILURE RATE of Internet marketing business mirrors traditional businesses. Less than 5% of all Internet sites are profitable. In other words, 95% FAIL!

What you do have to do is research and find someone who is already successful as an internet marketer, look at their system, look at their ethics, and decide if they meet your needs.

When I ran Peak Potentials Training, Harv Eker used to have some of the most successful internet marketers on the planet come and teach at his programs. I saw their systems and their strategies, and watched as they were creating sales real time while they were on the stage teaching.

Over the past couple of years, I have researched many of the most successful Internet marketing “gurus”. I have met several successful Internet marketers. It’s been a desire of mine to learn as much as possible, “get in the corridor”, and then create a “mastermind” with others who are COMMITTED to become MASTERS in the business of Internet marketing.

What are the rewards for learning to MASTER the skills of Internet marketing? Is it worth the pursuit?

Well…..imagine having $5,000, $10,000, $20,000 or more coming in each month as income? Imagine being able to grow your business exponentially. Imagine running your own business and controlling your own life. Imagine having a business that ran 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, all from the comfort of your own home, or the beach in Tahiti, or your cabin in Colorado, or wherever you have access to a phone and the internet. Imagine having a business that operates whether you are there or not.

These are the potential rewards of mastering the skills of Internet marketing and then taking the necessary ACTION with that knowledge and working at it until you succeed.

I’ve learned that there are about 10 key steps that must be mastered in order to really succeed as an Internet marketer. If you miss any one of these steps, you’ll be in trouble.

Napoleon Hill wrote in his best selling book “Think and Grow Rich” that the concept of a MASTERMIND GROUP can have a gigantic impact on the success of any worthwhile goal. If each person brings critical skills to the group, the end result is something far greater than any one person could accomplish on their own.

As I prepare my 2008 goal list, one of my highest goals is to create a mastermind group of the RIGHT people who want to MASTER Internet marketing, and create another source of income.

When I say RIGHT people, I’m referring to their habits and characteristics.

Here they are…….

They have to be nice people. I surround myself with people I enjoy being with.
They have to be willing to learn. I surround myself with people who have a thirst for knowledge.
They have to be passionate about their own personal growth and development. I surround myself with high energy, positive people.
They have to be COMMITTED. I surround myself with people whose word I can count on.
They have to have a “Warrior” mentality. If you don’t know what that is, look back in my blog to all the posts I’ve written about it.
They have to want to join the elite top 5%. That’s what this blog is all about.

ARE YOU THE RIGHT PERSON?

Do you want to set a gigantic and exciting goal for 2008?

Do you want to set a course for financial freedom?

Do you want to learn to MASTER 1 of the 10 steps necessary to achieve success as an Internet marketer?

If you believe like I do that the Internet offers incredible opportunities to create financial freedom, and want to chart a whole new course in your life, I want to hear from you!

2008 is just weeks away. It can be the greatest year in your life. If you’ve ever wanted to make a change in your life for the better, why not make that decision now, and get excited about your future?

Namaste.

Jeff
