Do you have what it takes to be a secret Millionaire?

Most people are aware of the Secret Millionaire show where they take Millionaire and put them into low income environments and have them hide their identities.  James Malinchak was recently featured on this show and did an outstanding job!

Since then, his fame in the entrepreneurial industry has taken off like crazy!

I was introduced to him by Russell Brunson and have since became a raving fan of his!  What he teaches and how he teaches it is simply Genius!  He’s out there giving REAL Value to REAL People.  People that are lost, confused, and seeking all kinds of relief in their business.

So through his e-mails I’ve been keeping track of what he’s doing.  Learning strategies and really just trying to duplicate what he has already accomplished.  So far, it’s going pretty well!  I can’t complain and the people following me are becoming more and more responsive.

So, that’s my take on the infamous Jame Malinchak.

Now, why the question above?  Well, it’s a question I never really considered.  I never thought about if I actually had the “makings” of a millionaire, I just assumed I did.  I mean who really wants to believe they’ll work for the rest of their lives never making their dreams come true, right?

Well I certainly didn’t.  But when he sent me the e-mail with that subject, I couldn’t help but finally wonder.  Do I really have what it takes?  So I clicked on his link and took his assessment and here are the results:

Your assessment shows that you have the makings of a Secret Millionaire.

It also shows you are categorized as ‘Entrepreneurial’.

It’s clear that your business grows as you grow, so dedicate yourself to
consistent learning in the areas of life and business that matter most.

You also know how to use leverage and find the resources you need to build
a business.

Here are additional recommendations based on your assessment:

- Maintain your millionaire mindset, it takes a positive attitude
to overcome obstacles and live your dreams.

- The secret for you is getting out and sharing in different ways what  you
know with others. This means leveraging your rewards with smart investment
of your resources (time, focus, capital, systems, technology, etc.)

- Search for opportunities to leverage yourself beyond trading dollars for time.

- Things like the Internet or presenting your message to audiences,
can allow you to give to others while building your business and
making a difference in others’ lives…so make sure you don’t miss
an opportunity to make a dollar and a difference!

- Don’t ask if its easy, ask if its worth it!

- For you to be truly successful, you must be persistent AND open to feedback.

So in the spirit of this Assessment I wanted to share with you the exact same link where you can take the same test and find out for yourself, if you really have what it takes to be a millionaire…

Ever wonder what $100 million coming out of a $3.5 trillion deficit looked like?

Just Brilliant!

WARNING!!!

This is not a Warm and Cuddly version!

But definitely an eye opener!

Recently Obama announced that over the next 90-days he is going to work to
cut 100-Million dollars of spending out of the Federal Budget. 

A college student explains Obamanomics.

This is worth spending one minute and thirty eight seconds to watch!

“Every job needs the right tool to accomplish the desired goal.”

Today, entrepreneurialism is alive and thriving.  You have people all over the place jumping for the latest opportunity.  While most of the opportunities look REALLY inviting, you just can’t bring yourself to jump onto the latest bandwagon.  I don’t blame you.  I’m sure most of the people spouting about how great their opportunity is or how their comp. plan is bigger than yours, never actually meant to come across that way when they got started.   I’m sure you look yourself in the mirror everyday saying, “I will not be like them.  I will not be like them.”

I know this because I did the same thing.  I started off wanting a better life, so when I was presented with my first opportunity, I jumped … all in!  I wanted so badly to have a better future for my family.  I got all excited and never stopped to think about what it might take.  I was recruited into a business, but I knew nothing of business.  I was supposed to market my business, but I knew nothing of marketing.

I started with a flurry of activity.

Get a list.  Dial for hours.  Talk endlessly about a business I didn’t understand.  Talk with everyone.  Get another list.  Dial for hours.  Talk endlessly about a business I didn’t understand.  Talk with some people.  Get another list.  Dial for an hour.  Talk quickly about a business I still didn’t understand.  Get rejected some more.  This was how my business started.

I knew what I wanted.  I just didn’t understand how to get it.  I understood the concept “Find someone who has what you want, and do what they did to get it,” but I wasn’t doing what my sponsor was doing.  (Notice how they call it a sponsor but nobody is really sponsoring you?)  He owned a lead company and understood how to market to get those leads.  He had little time to train me 1-on-1 to funnel all of his knowledge into me, and besides, his knowledge came from years of work and training.

He did what he knew how to do and he actually did sponsor me a bit.  I got all of the free leads I could handle.  And boy, did I handle them!  In one afternoon I would fly through 150 double opt-in leads that were looking for a business.  Granted, some were old, but I even managed to mess up the ones that were fresh!  I did get some success doing it that way, but I knew I was still getting the short end of the stick, and it was nobody’s fault but my own!

I had a whole game plan overview written in Greek!  I was given some of the right tools… just the wrong version.  I needed “business for retarded dummies” and “marketing for people who’ve never marketed.”  Honestly, I knew nothing!  Nada!  Zilch!  In the business world I was more than just a fish out of water, I was a tadpole on mars!  This is the case for so many people out there today trying to stake their claim in the Home Business Boom of the New Millennium!  Most of them are drowning due to the same scenario that I went through, and you went through.

I don’t want that happening for anyone any more.  With the internet information galore is at our finger tips!  (And the evil laughing commences!)  But few people are able to harness this information and actually put together their own business plan that fits their needs, their schedule, and their goals.  Most marketing plans pushed don’t have your integrity in mind when they were written.  They aren’t concerned with your schedule.  And they most certainly didn’t develop them around your bills or needs.  They were written with The Company’s Needs, Schedule, and Goals in mind.

So what is my answer to this fiasco we are all rushing towards?  Education my dear friend,   education.   So, let’s start this off with an overall idea of how to put YOUR marketing plan together so, you can achieve YOUR goals.

1. Budget – You have to know what you can afford to spend and for how long on your business alone.  Most businesses operate in the RED (this means below profit) for the first 2 – 3 years.  How long can you sustain your business venture?  This is the first question to answer.  Know your overhead and your investment because every day you don’t make money, is another day your overhead grows your continued investment.
2. Understand who your target market is.  This means the marketing guys at Target understand the pressures the everyday soccer mom has and what will help perk their spirits. – Bright Colors.  Open Spaces.  Convenient locations.  Friendly, laid back, quiet atmosphere.  Don’t believe me, walk into any Target and tell me that isn’t what you see!
3. Understand what tools you have or could have with the right budget.  E-mail, website, advertising campaign (Not really needed but to use once in awhile), autoresponder with people’s information wanting to know more about your company, social sites, and a support system (could be a mentor, a spouse, or a friend).  Everyone that owns a business has to market their business.  If they can’t figure it out for themselves then they have to hire someone that can.  And if they don’t, then they aren’t going to be in business long.
4. Persistence + Determination + Critical Thinking Skills + Self Discipline = Leadership Ability.  You cannot leave one part of this equation out.  Every entrepreneur needs to have leadership ability, without it is like sailing without a rudder.  It just doesn’t work.

I hope this helps and I look forward to seeing more and more hungry entrepreneurs soaring to new heights, leveling playing fields, and proving statistics wrong!  People are just being taught in an ineffective way and the people teaching it needs to refer to Benjamin Franklin’s definition of insanity.

“Insanity is doing the same thing again and again while expecting different results.” – Benjamin Franklin

I stole this from an E-mail I received.  Take a look and let me know what you think.

Would love to hear other people perspective!

Take a look… Rant… Rave…  Just give voice to your Message!

Lt. Col. Terry Lakin is facing possible imprisonment, and it has been reported that Army officials have gone so far as to “suggest” that he submit to a “mental evaluation” … all because he has the audacity to ask Barack Hussein Obama to supply a copy of his actual birth certificate.

During his 18-year career as a flight-surgeon in the United States Army, Lakin has put his life on the line in defense of the United States Constitution.  And he’s more than willing to do so again.

But before Lakin places himself, yet again, in harm’s way, he’s asking Barack Hussein Obama to do the very same thing that he, and countless others who honorably serve our country are, in so many cases,  REQUIRED to do… namely, supply a copy of an actual birth certificate; and thereby prove that the orders he gives as “Commander-in-Chief” are, indeed, LAWFUL.

Why go to all the trouble?  Lakin answers the question best himself: “I feel I have no choice but the distasteful one of inviting my own court martial. The Constitution matters. The truth matters.”

And so, a  brave soldier, who has placed himself in harm’s way, and is willing to do so again, is being harassed and faces possible imprisonment because Barack Hussein Obama… REFUSES to honor the Constitution… REFUSES to prove that he is not a FRAUD and a USURPER… REFUSES to prove that the orders he is giving our brave men and women in uniform are lawful… and REFUSES to release his actual birth certificate.

Of course you won’t hear about Lt Col. Lakin’s plight on the nightly news or the front page of the New York Times.  In fact, the Western Center for Journalism is only one of a handful of credible news organizations calling attention to Lakin’s plight.

And that’s why our mission is so important.  Truth be told, everyone needs to hear this story and you can make that happen.  Your TAX-DEDUCTIBLE donation will make it possible for us to cover the stories the Mainstream Media refuses to cover… tell Lakin’s story to the world… keep the pressure on Barack Hussein Obama… and send a clear message to him and his allies in the Obama-Media that questions concerning his eligibility are not simply going to go away.

Of course, as a loyal reader of the news and information that the Western Center for Journalism sends your way… you already know much of what the Mainstream Media is not reporting.

You already know that Barack Hussein Obama has outright REFUSED to release his actual birth certificate and that hundreds-of-thousands of dollars have been spent to OBSTRUCT requests that he supply his actual birth certificate. You already know that the document that Barack Hussein Obama claims is his “birth certificate” is NOT a valid long form birth certificate and that, until recently, the state of Hawaii did not even accept that very same document as proof that an individual is a Hawaiian citizen because that document can be issued to individuals not actually born in Hawaii. And you also know that when Lakin (an officer with 18 years of service in the Army) stated his intention to refuse deployment orders until his presumed “Commander-in-Chief” proves that he is eligible to hold the post, he was “counseled,” threatened with jail time and encouraged to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

Specifically, , Lakin received a reprimand which stated, in part:

“On 30 March 2010, this command became aware of your intentions to refuse to follow deployment orders. Your stated reason for refusal was your belief that the election of the President of the United States is invalid…. Failure to follow your reassignment and/or deployment orders may result in adverse action including court-martial… If found guilty … you could be sentenced to dismissal from the service… forefeiture (sic) of all pay and allowances; and confinement for a period of months or years in a military prison.”

But here’s something else the pro-Obama Mainstream Media will NOT report.

If the Army follows through on its threat to court martial Lakin, he would have the right of discovery… meaning that his defense team could compel Barack Hussein Obama to produce the document that he has REFUSED to produce… his actual birth certificate.

That’s why Barack Hussein Obama’s allies in the media are NOT covering this story. They don’t want to the American people to know what is going on… they don’t want the American people to start asking pesky questions.

In short, they don’t want the American people to know the truth.

And that’s why your tax-deductible donation to the Western Center for Journalism is so important. It will make it possible for us to continue covering this story and keep pressure on Barack Hussein Obama and the Mainstream media so that Americans WILL start asking those pesky questions.

Is the biggest political crime in American history taking place right before our eyes? Is the man in the White House INELIGIBLE, according to the Constitution, to sit in the Oval Office… is he a FRAUD… a USURPER?

Barack Hussein Obama could put the issue to rest right now by simply releasing his actual birth certificate.

He’s dug in his heels. He has teams of lawyers fighting efforts to get him to release his actual birth certificate, while his underlings look down their noses at the American people and call these legitimate requests “garbage.”

And the one pivotal question that those who attempt to dismiss the controversy cannot answer is:  If Barack Hussein Obama has nothing to hide, what’s the problem? The more he resists, the more you have to wonder.

Meanwhile the liberal press is trying to drag this story into a dark alley and bludgeon it to death.

It’s time for you and me to weigh in and force the issue. Let’s call-out the liberal media.

Your tax-deductible donation will make it possible for us to continue covering this story and send a clear message to Barack Hussein Obama that there is nowhere to run and nowhere to hide.

I love the movie 300, it really paints a vivid picture of proper team work, preparation, and the determination to stand in the face of true adversity.

Luckily, none of us are likely to be in that type of “life/death” situation.  But that doesn’t mean we can’t learn a thing or two from men in history who have stood before unimaginable odds and won.  Or people who had given their lives for a greater cause.  The training…  The Dedication of a cause bigger than oneself is so completely awe-inspiring!

Which is another reason I love Greek/Roman History and Mythology.  Between Greece and Rome was, at the time, the Pinnacle of Civilization.  They had Scholars, Free Thinkers, Artists, Entrepreneurs, Aristocrats, Dirty Politicians and even Entertainment from Lions in the arena to Actors in the theater.  Freedom allowed them to create that world and some of the greatest men emerged from this era.  Not only in Mythology but also in actual history!

Among these were the mighty Centurions.  These were the fiercest of warriors in Rome and most feared in the world but also the most admired!  The only way to attain a Centurion Commission was through blood, sweat, and tears.  They led at the Front of the battle with Strength, Integrity, and Honor.

Their lessons are not dead today but in fact, live on throughout history.  A Centurion was a leader of men with the highest of morals, the strongest principals, and unmatched self-discipline.  And there have been a lot of them over the years.  Some have made huge impacts on how a few thousand, while others changed the course of our entire world!
We should all learn to lead with integrity, strength and honor because at the end of the day, we are the ones who have to sleep with our decisions.  Learn from Great Men in our History…  Live out those lessons…  Enjoy Your Life.

Satisfy your curiosity and learn what it really takes to be a Centurion in Today’s Society!

Finding one’s passion is like turning on a light in a room that’s been dark for centuries.  At first it’s blinding, but once you can see, ANYTHING becomes possible!

I’ve been reading Crush IT by Gary Vaynerchuk for the last few days.  I’m half way through the book right now and I have to say…  It’s truly an awesome read!

He started working in a Liquor Store with his father when he was 15 yrs old…  But before that, he was a proven entrepreneur.  By age 8, he had a successful lemonade stand franchise with 7 different Stands and friends working it for him.  Then he moved onto bigger and better things…  Trading and selling baseball cards where he dominated until he was pulled out of the malls and into his dad’s liquor store!

He already built a career before he was even old enough to pay taxes!  Now that’s awesome and it just goes to show you what you can do with a lot of passion and determination!

So as I’m reading the book, I’m thinking about my passion.  What is it that drives me the most?  What gets me up early in the morning?  What keeps me from sleeping at night? And the answer to those questions started out in 2006.

When I was first introduced to Network Marketing.  The idea of working for myself and making untold millions was radically changing how I saw my life.  Thinking it was possible for ME, kept me up all night and dreaming during the day.  Every time I thought about the possibilities my palms would sweat, my heart would race, and my mind would frolic with delusions of grandeur.

I had been sold an idea. Now it wasn’t the money that kept me up, it was the idea of the life that money would buy.  But that wasn’t my passion, it was my dream.  It took me a long time to tell the difference and really “nail down” what my passion truly was.  Truthfully, it was very recently that I finally discovered my true passion.

Last weekend I was talking with my Dad about the book and he asked me, “What are you passionate about?“  To that I said, “Helping People.“  I know what you’re thinking, “That’s a really vague idea,” and I know it is but I couldn’t think of anything at the time which would really describe what it is I really live and breathe for.

Since then, I’ve had time to think and define what it is I love the most in life.  I realized I had gotten excited when I started in network marketing because I was developing myself and learning new things.  New things I thought most people didn’t know.  Secrets that were hidden and nobody realized it.  I loved the mystery and the idea that I was becoming a better person.  That’s when it hit me!

I finally got it!  My passion was in Helping People Develop.  Helping them find a greater cause that would inevitably propel them towards a life more rewarding for them.  This seems a little too idealistic, right?  Maybe so.  But I’ve discovered for myself the rewards of helping someone change their life for the better.  Honestly, it’s got to be one of the most rewarding processes anyone can be a part of.

Now you might disagree but for me, this is the reason I live and breath.  Of course, I still want to make tons of money but really helping people achieve their goals is how I want to do it.  But it all starts with me… everyday.  And that’s an exciting idea to me.

So find out what’s exciting to you and post it in the comments below.  I’d love to see what everyone else is passionate about!

MLM’s or Multi Level Marketing is a viable business model for the everyday individual looking to make a little bit extra cash or build an organization for a residual income.

The structure is designed to create a marketing and sales force by compensating promoters of company products not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of other promoters they introduce to the company, creating a downline of distributors and a hierarchy of multiple levels of compensation in the form of a pyramid.

The products and company are usually marketed directly to consumers and potential business partners by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing.

MLM’s or network marketing has received a bad name over time.  Some of the Giants in this field are Amway, Avon, and Mary-Kay.  There are a lot of others but those 3 are some of the oldest and are directly responsible for negative reputation MLM‘s have received over the years.

When Amway first got started back in the 70′s, some of the distributors actually started to trick their prospects by inviting them to a “party.”  When the prospect would show up, they would be greeted and this “party” would suddenly turn into an opportunity meeting.  Needless to say, this was not the most effective way to market they could have used.

This kind of marketing actually started to have a very negative affect on the people around them.  People quit trusting them and soon their whole downline started to disintegrate very quickly.

One key fact that I believe has been overlooked in most MLM company’s is before someone should be building any kind of organization, they should learn how to retail the product easily and effectively.  This creates a customer base of individuals loyal to the product you are selling giving the distributor monthly retail commissions that could support their new business venture.

Once they have developed their customer base, they would then be able to start training other people how do create their business in the same form creating a downline.  A customer base and a downline is what gives a distributor their residual income.

This is how I build my business.  First retail to cover the overhead of the business.  Then teach others.  How simple could that be, but there are a lot of people out there promoting the latest and greatest with no idea how they are going to cover their overhead.

Don’t get stuck with an opportunity with no way to cover the basic cost in business, overhead…  What it costs someone to keep a business up and running.  Ask questions and make sure it’s a type of product that can be sold for a retail value and that the product is actually in demand and not a new line of products you have to convince people about.
