United States and It's Fabulous 50

You are already "Successful"

Success is neither magical nor mysterious, neither impossible to achieve nor so distant as to feel unnatural. Instead success is the very natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals in every situation. Financial success is something you can achieve, because with a mindset of "I can do" it will become your natural expectation.

Success is 20% skills and 80% activity.

Success is inside of you! Apply your skills but concentrate on mastering the fundamentals by continually repeating them... over and over again.

Can Change Their Lives!

Accept People Exactly Where They Are...

One of the best ways to attract more people is to meet people where they really hurt. All of us face different challenges, whether physical, financial, emotional or spiritual...but none of us have to face those challenges alone. And when you take the time and personal interest to discover what is happening in people's lives, you may just find that you can offer them hope!

Take the time to ask the questions that really matter. As questions that people can react to and share your own challenges with them, because it's likely you may have driven that same road. You may want to focus on F.O.R.M.... asking questions about Family, Occupation, Recreation and Money, because those are often the areas which people want to improve.

When you know someone is hurting, it makes it easier to show them how you can help reduce that pain. So take the time to think about the people you meet...get to know them...understand the hurt they have in their lives and share your opportunity, because you may be able to Make a Difference in a way that no one else can!

I have an extraordinary opportunity, click on opportunity to learn more...it may be just what your looking for.

His name was Jason Dunham and he was a corporal in the United States Marines. The story picks up with Jason as he was talking with the men in his unit. They wondered whether a person could jump on a grenade and survive by putting it under his helmet. Deep down they all knew that it most likely wouldn't work, yet on the streets of Baghdad all topics of conversation can soon become quickly exhausted and hypothetical solutions to real-life problems can pass the time.

Unfortunately for Jason Dunham, the circumstance that he had hypothesized about arrived just a few weeks later. However, fortunately for his unit, Corporal Jason Dunham was there. In this life and death scenario, there is no time to think. There is only time for fight or flight. Jason chose fight and performed above and beyond the call of duty. He threw his helmet and body over a grenade and gave his life for his friends. Jason was nominated for The Congressional Medal of Honor. He was 20 years old.

Your stance on political matters or world issues is irrelevant in this scenario. Jason did not do this for you. He did not do it for the people of Baghdad. He didn't do it for the U.S. government or a politician. He did it for the men beside him, period.

To give your life for your friends is perhaps the greatest thing one person can do for another. It is also one of the rarest acts of civilization.

In 1981, shots rang out and bullets screamed through the air to pierce the flesh of the 40th President of the United States. No sooner had the gun powder been ignited than secret service agent Tim McCarthy stood up as straight as a board and extended his arms to make himself a large barrier between would-be assassin John Hinckley and President Reagan. While others ran for cover, Agent McCarthy stood looking directly at his potential death with firm resolve. Tim was shot square in the chest and, believe it or not, that was exactly his goal. As he positioned himself spread eagle to take a bullet for a man, an office and a nation, others cowered in trembling fear. Because of amazing grace, agent McCarthy survived.

What causes men and women to lay down their lives for another? It takes a lot. First and foremost, it takes a realization that life isn't about you. It is about making a difference, about making an impact and about giving.

Jason Dunham and Tim McCarthy were able to respond the way they did because:

• They decided how they were going to respond long before the event occurred.
• They were not selfish people – the farthest you could be from selfish, as a matter of fact.
• They realized that life was not about them; it was about making a difference – it was about others.

I hope with all my heart you are never placed in a situation where you have to choose between your life and those around you. Yet, every day you are in situations where you have to make choices. You must decide right now how you will respond.

The lesson to extract from the lives of Corporal Dunham and Agent McCarthy is that of an overall attitude on life. That attitude, simply put, is that it is better to give than receive. It is honorable to view the lives and well-being of others above yourself. If we can take any pearl of wisdom from the extraordinary lives and attitudes of these two men, it is that making an impact on the world is not always about recognition, power, money or personal gain. Sometimes the greatest success is one who gives himself up so others can succeed. That is the mark of the ultimate high achiever.

Decide today how you will respond in your moments of crisis - whether it is financial, personal or life and death. As you plan your actions, remember the selfless lessons of Corporal Dunham and Agent McCarthy.

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes." ~Mahatma Gandhi

This is a blog post from a good friend of mine from Molalla Oregon.

Unemployment, in Oregon, has increased again. It is now at 12.3% - the highest level since records began. The current administration has spent trillions to rescue failing businesses and "stimulate the economy", yet money remains tight, foreclosures continue and employment continues to fall. The only segment of the economy which seems to be growing is government and the tax-payer supported market.

I urge that each and every American look at your own circumstance and ask yourself: Is anything in my life getting better, do I feel more financially secure, and am I more optimistic about where our country and the economy is heading?

If anyone can answer yes to ANY of these questions then perhaps it's time to put away the Prozac and protest banners so we can run into the streets and celebrate our victory over the "great recession"!

I, for one, cannot. I also agree with Ben Franklin: “God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787

Perhaps it's time for praying - not preying.

Thank you Jim for allowing me to use this post. 

Some may think that The American Dream is gone.  I have been part of discussions on this very subject and I actually agreed that the dream is no longer within reach.

Then I laid in bed this morning and I had to correct my own thinking.  Yes, with the demise of GM, Chrysler, and other big names in addition to corporate takeovers and downsizing it is getting pretty rough to go out and find a job.  I am a personal witness to having my job cut as well as seeing first hand how friends around this country have lost jobs, lost homes as well as have to struggle for food.

Lets take a look at our basic freedom as Americans.  We have the right to start a business and we don't even have to go get permission first.  That said, once you get the right mindset and plan of action there is no real excuse for not being able to live The American Dream.  I just happen to be building a business and the only tools I use are a $300.00 computer and a business plan I found online.

Sometimes you have to rely on faith to get past a bad situation and I am no exception.  I lost a nice paying job that I had for 18 years.  I lost a home I purchased for cash because the cost of the homeowners insurance got out of hand in relation to my debt ratio.  I have had the cars and the toys.  I have seen my father who is a retired bank president loose all his savings because of the recent drop of the stock market due to the financial industries mismanagement.

You can take a bow and live a lower level of life and adjust or rise above it and do something to start reliving The American Dream.  I was doing the latter and I never really even took the time to acknowledge what I was doing.  I was fighting to run a successfull small business with a mindset this is so hard to make work.  Until this morning when i realized that I have more then what so many people do not have in this country.  I have the security of a job where I am in control and I have no one but myself to blame if I end up without a job. 

Take the time to look at who you are and why you are in this world.  Look at your future and see how bright it looks.  If you do not like what you see then its time to make a change and do what it takes to provide for yourself and those you love.  I am part of a group of people who are in the business of sharing ideas.  These ideas are to help others succeed.  I invite you to look at this system and be part of this group who has not only helped me on a personal level of success, but also on a level of thinking as those who succeed think.

May God bless you in all you do.  Now go live The American Dream.

How did the wealthy people become wealthy?   I’m sure that some probably had money handed down to them through their families or were bred for a great career in the family business.  Still there are many “entrepreneurs” that had an idea, a vision that there was a product or service that had not yet been offered or developed.  They then had to take a chance and a risk, they had to invest time, money and energy into that product or service’s birth without the guarantee that success would be the end result.  They truly had a lot at stake and I’m sure that many of them put everything they had on the line for what they believed in.  I’m sure that they did not all succeed on the first try, it probably took several failures or they overcame some problems along the way, but they kept getting back up and trying again because they truly believed in their idea.  I believe that the wealthy people deserve to be wealthy for that reason.  They did not give up when times became difficult, they forged ahead with the same drive and desire they had when they started, when it was just an idea.  What are you going to do?  How will you make it happen?

                Recently, we were driving through a suburb of Des Moines during rush hour.  Des Moines is not a big city compared to many, but while we were driving down the interstate I noticed all of the traffic that was backed up, extending to the interstate.  I noticed the many people just sitting there and I thought about many things.  How much money was being spent at that very moment?  There were probably several hundred cars in my field of vision going in all different directions.  All of those vehicles had or needed probably $20-$40 worth of gas, many probably needed some sort of repair or service done to them (oil changes, tires etc.) and many of those people were probably going to be spending money later that evening at ball games, restaurants, shopping and other goods and services.  I thought about all of the items in those vehicles, the cell phones, CD’s, DVD’s, soda’s, coffees, GPS systems, emergency items and the other things that we all have in our vehicles.  Then I thought about them eventually getting home, to all of the goods that they possess and the services that they purchase to live in today’s society (The point to all this, and YES, I do have one, will be explained in further detail in my next blog).  At that moment, I realized how much money really is involved in our economy and that life is going to go on whether we can afford it or not.  So, what are you going to do?  How will you make it happen?

                Think about these same thoughts where you live.  Think about all of the individuals and families in your town or city and what products and services are purchased and used on a daily basis.  Every home, every vehicle, every person contributes to the economy in some way.  Some contribute in very big ways and others contribute in smaller ways, but they all contribute.  Many people and businesses are profiting off of what these individuals and families spend, whether it’s on groceries, gas, car payments, car insurance, CD’s, DVD’s and the list goes on and on.  Think about your own contributions to the economy.  You probably have a house payment or rent, possibly a vehicle payment(s) and the expenses that go with that including insurance, maintenance, fuel and other services, food for yourself and your family, the satellite or cable TV, electric, water, credit cards, the list seems endless!  You already contribute to the economy more than you may realize.  Now think about how you can make that economy work for you and help you enjoy life even more than you already are!

                It really is a great big world out there!  There is a lot of money available to earn!  What is it that you want?  I read once that you bring about what you think about.  If you are struggling financially, you probably think about that constantly and, you guessed it, you bring about further financial struggles.  Are you tired of that struggle? 

What are you going to do?  How are you going to make it happen?  If you are tired of thinking about your financial struggles and you are ready to take action, either enter your basic information for the free offer that is included on this page or click on the banner ad below.  Do you want to work.......Or not?

    If you could have what it is that you think about and dream about, but you had to earn it, not just have it given to you, what would it take to make it happen?  Most everyone, my dad is the exception (he could win the lottery and he might possibly buy a new golf club, but I'm not even sure about that), wants something better for themselves and their families.  Most of those wants involve more money for a bigger, better home, new cars, kids' college funds, clothes, vacations and the list goes on and on.  I believe that it is achievable!  Do you?  I have been caught up in the "some day it will happen" mode.  As I have explained in some other blogs, there is plenty of money out there to be made.  How can you get your share of that money.  You will probably have to do something differently.  You already know that, no matter how much or how little money that you earn, you spend it!!  Most of us could cut costs and save ourselves some expenses and bills but we feel that we are entitled, or that we deserve whatever it is that we spend our money on, I know that I do.  What will motivate you to take a step, a leap of faith that there is more out there for you?  There are thousands of millionaires out there, if not millions.  Not all of them started out with money.  Aren't those the best stories?  The ones that had nothing, had lost everything and yet now they're millionaires, or even more?  Do you believe that you can be one of them? 

     I have heard, and I believe, that making the money is not the hard part, the hard part is changing your attitude about having what you want.  You have to change your mindset & believe that you are worth it and that you are capable.  There are many books and media available for your personal education on this topic.  It all starts in your mind, you have to believe in yourself and clear your thoughts as to what it is that you want.  The hardest part is to get rid of the "demons" that haunt you and tell you that you are living the life that you were meant to live, that you were not meant to have what you really want and that you were meant to work your life away only to earn enough money to pay your bills and buy essential items.  You must clear your mind of that and good things will happen.  You bring about what you think about!  Every time that a negative thought comes into your head, you take a step backwards.  You must clear your mind of those thoughts.  It will be difficult for most because those thoughts have always been reality.  Can you change the way you think?  I think that you can and if you really want to, I know that you can!!

     Another secret is that money is not evil!!  That is difficult for some people to understand.  Wealthy people give more to charities in this country than many people earn in a year.  Wealthy people are not evil, some evil people are wealthy.  Don't be confused by that!  Part of the secret of earning money is that you have to give back in any way that you want and you must give for the right reasons, because it's what you believe in and because you truly want to give.  I can't explain it, when you give and you donate, you feel better about yourself and you receive in return, it just works that way.  Give it a try!!

     What motivates you?  What will you do to change your current financial situation?  Will you write down what it is that you really want for your family and yourself?  Write down what you want and believe that there is a way.  It is very possible that you can afford to pay for your own, or your kids' college education.  It is very possible that you can pay off your debt or buy that dream home that you want or anything else it is that you desire.  It will take a new way of thinking and confidence that you are worth it.  In many cases it will require you to venture into unfamiliar territory, but if you really are clear about what it is that you want for you and your family, that will be an easy step.
