FAITH - Essential for the Millionaire Mind

There is no doubt that these are tough times for (some of) us future millionaires.  We are being faced with major setbacks with all of our investments, business endeavors and power career moves.  Dreams and aspirations for millions in the bank, hot Lambos (hood translation: lamborghinis), huge cribs and living the good life have been extiguished with the ferocity of a firehose on a birthday candle.  However, this is where the tough get tougher, the good get better, and the smart get smarter.  

This is the time where your focus on your goals becomes even more important.  

This is the time for FAITH. 

I'm not going to turn this into a religous post because your faith can be in anything you choose to have faith in: God, yourself, your expected outcome, etc.  

FAITH is important because it gives you a needed boost of energy and drive.  The human body only has but so much gas in it's tank.  What FAITH allows you to do, is to use that gas for the things that are going to get you closer to your goals.  FAITH is like a gas regulator.  With FAITH you will not waste your time on worrying.  No need to worry when you have FAITH, because you know that everything work out for the better.  If you play the hand you were dealt, to the best of your ability, you will come out ahead.  Before you thought you knew, with FAITH you know.  There is a big difference.  

Here is how Faith should work. 

Pretend a long lost relative has left you an inheritance of some sort.  You don't know how much or how little but in able to find out you have to present to the lawyers what you will be doing over the next four months on your plan to reach millions.  The better the plan, the more inheritance you will recieve.  After you revreal this plan you find out that you will recieve 1 million dollars at the end of 4 months regardless if your plan is successful or not. The only clause is that you must do everything you said you were going to do with 110% of y

our effort.   

Now everyday you are working your plan you are happy, because in your mind you are a millionaire already.  You are singing in the shower, you are dancing in your car.  You are a pleasure to everyone you encounter, and you are working your plan with certainty and confidence because you are not spending wasted energy worrying..  That's what FAITH is.  It's that million dollar inheritance.  

Maybe money isn't your goal, but what ever it is, act as if you have recieved it already.  Thanks those around you and GOD for already having helped you reach your goal.  Live every moment like you are at your personal finish line and before you know it you're already there.  

As for the set backs, a quote from the great Jim Rohn: 

.......here is what you can do: you can get stronger; you can get wiser; and you can get better. Remember that trio of words: stronger, wiser, better. The winters won’t change, but you can.

Before I understood this, I used to wish it were summer when it was winter. When things were difficult, I used to wish they were easy. I didn’t know any better. Then Mr. Shoaff gave me the answer from a part of his very unique philosophy when he said, “Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better. Don’t wish for fewer problems, wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge, wish for more wisdom.”

I can't say it any better then that.  

For now I got the hoodie on in the Grand Prix, soon to be the CL63!  Ryan Sheckler - I'll be up with you in a minute homie!

On-line Money Totals

The slow and steady progress of getting money online is being chronicled honestly by two blogs.  

One is David Kleine's Starting from $0.00

The other is: The Ups and Downs of On-line Money

David is close to $200 per month and has been doing great work. I will just mention in this blog when there is an update on the others.  Making money using Paid to Click sites, and affiliate marketing is broad enough to have it's own dedicated sites.  

Visit the sites, join the programs, make some money.

INSPIRATION - REPOST FROM 2008

April has been one helluva month. One filled with motivation and inspiration. I thought I was fired up before, well I'm really fired up now. I am crazy. Hence the Insane part of the title of this blog.

Three Saturdays I travelled back home to New Jersey to take care of some family business. I spent some time with my nephew and found out first hand how hard it is to keep pace with a 1.5 (Now 2.5 years old) year old. I got to inhale the East Cost flavor, bask in it and bring it back to Michigan.


With that being said I go to Walmart. Now I hate Walmart. I hate it with a passion, but you can't beat the prices, their inventory, and their customer service is pretty good. As I'm checking out,(it's about 8:00 AM in the morning) I look at the faces of the cashiers. They look like the saddest most depressed bunch of people I have ever seen. Then I'm thinking, "These people have succombed to life". You can't convince me that these people want to be Walmart cashiers.
There is no way in hell!
Life has took them out behind the woodshed for a good ol' Southern a$$ whippin. The sad part is, life is kicking the $hzit out of a lot of us, and we don't even realize it. They don't even know that life just bit their ear off, like Tyson. They are in a post knock out stupor where they will stay for the rest of your lives.

If you believe in god or not, you know you have free will. That means you can make decisions. Some of them are hard, tough decisions but they can impact the rest of your life forever. People always ask me why I work so much? The simple answer, "I DON'T WANT TO BE A 40 YEAR OLD WALMART CASHIER". That's why.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with being a cashier, because my job is just as mudane and unsatisfying. I AM a Walmart cashier right now. Right F'ing now, I am a Walmart cashier. I need to hustle and kick my own ass, and make the right decisions so that I can free myself. Then my family. It would be great if my nephew never had to be a Walmart cashier. Then my friends. If you are a Walmart cashier with a plan; and working at Walmart is part of your plan. That is OK, but make sure you are working your plan and not just talk.

Robert Kiyoski (of Rich Dad, Poor Dad fame), says, "the No. 1 thing people can do to increase their wealth is to start a part time business. They can start a small home based business, an internet company or network marketing business. " Many people fail to become rich because they value a steady paycheck rather then going through the learning process of becoming financially smarter and richer.

I have a new found respect for Robert Kiyoski. The Rich Dad Poor Dad books are amazing, but aside from that he was the first person to say that your house is not an asset. Something that I have learned and one of the main reasons I still have an apt today. If I had not read Rich Dad Poor Dad, I would be bound by a depreciating asset because I would have brought a house at the top of one of the worst real estate markets.

Not to sound like that annoying commecial but, get off the couch and go make your dreams happen. Please! You owe it to yourself. This life is nothing if you can't dream big, and the go make them come true.

Done!

I'm Back Again.....Sort of.

Hey fans, I'm sort of back.  I have been working on a lot of on-line stuff to help create my on-line empire.  My goal is to just rent a small office, set up my laptop and just rake in the cash.  

Far-feteched?   Maybe, but online is where the money is at, so that's where I need to be.  I will go back to chronicling my online marketing progress as well as posting the usual.  In order to get the following I need, I will have to post details.  

I have also started a conglamorate of blogs that will also generate adsense revenue.  

Right now I am at $200 per week with Ebay, slinging T-shirts.  

The goal is $5000 per month and I stop working; right now I'm at $800 only $4200 to go.  

Let's Go.
