20 to 30 Years to be Rich- I don’t think so. (And you Shouldn’t either)

4 Oct

20 to 30 Years to be Rich- I don’t think so.
(And you Shouldn’t either)

I was watching Coming to America earlier and one guy tells the other to work hard and in 20 or 30 years he Might have what the other guys.
Sorry folks I literally cringed. I was raised to have a great work ethic. I had my first job at 11 and loved it. My parents always worked to put us in better schools and in a home and out of the projects. This is no sob story, understand they lived the American dream for their kids. They made sure we had a leg up. And that was awesome.

Times have changed though.
I hate the idea of waiting 30 years. Hell 20 years is too long. The debate last night only proved this to me. Hang in there folks I’ll make sense of all this.

The concept of school, college, advanced degree,marriages, kids and then the excellent life is a farce. I wholeheartedly believe we were made to achieve and achieve rapidly. School is being sold as the key but a trillion dollars of debt may be suggesting otherwise. I went to college. And my job, my moxy, my business cunning and connections are not related or interconnected to a bachelors degree or advanced degree. Now these things work, I’m not knocking them. I’m merely saying there is more than one way to skin a cat (sorry Peta).

As for the debate the point I’m making is that money is to be made. Romney made loot. Obama cashed in heavy on the book deals and after he leaves the White House I guarantee his speaking engagements will be many and prosperous. See where I’m going. Both men made it to the top. They are both in the 1%. Different avenues but opportunities were made.
This is my intention as well. I will make my fortune. I’m laying my foundation now. I just want it faster. Do not misconstrue me as saying I’m better than these gentlemen, I’m simply saying I can’t wait much longer. I tried the traditional path and learned it won’t work for me. Not all horses are suitable for riding. Some are free spirits.
And while bound by the laws of economics, I know the markets are fickle and that there are always new opportunities. And I will find them.

Never let yourself be told how to get to the top.
Never let others deflate your dreams.
Never say I can’t.
Never be less than you are.
Make every action a moment of gain or of executable excellence.
Every step you take should be guided by a finite goal. If you want to be a teacher- follow the path.
You dream of owning a pawnshop-do it! Intern if you have too (Shout to the recent Heavy Hitters magazine!).
20 years is along time. 30 is worse. Make moves fast, thought out, but fast. When this is your modus operandi you will eat sleep and breathe success. And you will get there sooner. And isn’t that cool? More time to live and less time to work/slave.
Meet me at the finish line.

THREE DOLLARS and A DREAM

16 Aug

THREE DOLLARS PLEASE.

So my friends. We all have needs. Dreams. And of course we all need more mula. I don’t care if you are a consistent six figure earner. More money helps anyone and everyone get ahead. Now before you get the money you need a few things. A plan per say. No better yet a SYSTEM that is a plan. And a few other tools to go with these things.
And I have great news for you:
I’m not trying to sell you a thing!
And the total cost of what I suggest you buy is about 3 bucks. Yes THREE DOLLARS. Better than the lottery and I’m not even angling for an affiliate commission folks. I just want a group of winners with me at the finish line. Simply put. If we all win, we can than work together to win bigger. And if we are all wealthy, well that doesn’t hurt either right?

Do YOU have:
A plan
A dream board
A goal sheet
A financial status sheet
A debt elimination plan
An income creation plan
A wealth accumulation structure?

You see I have these things and they are quite handy. Actually as a unit they created the very framework for my business and no they aren’t my product and I didn’t learn them from one person. By having more than one mentor I have learned a few strategies and a healthy number of solutions to my business woes and some great tips for health. That is what good mentors do- they educate and create balance for you.
And so without further ado:

-A plan.
A plan is key. You don’t have to know what you are doing to create the framework. Every house has a blueprint and then a frame that everything else builds off of. Jay-Z in his auto-bio said that the greatest thing he and his two partners did was make a business plan once they had committed. It wasn’t the greatest or most concise, but it gave them the layout and the drive to succeed. Dreams are just that until you make them part of an action plan. So list the steps you see needing to happen for you to dominate.
Then seek out advice.
Edit.
And GET TO WORK!

-A dream board.
A dream board is a simple thing with immense power.
Go get a piece of cardboard about 3×6.
A pair of scissors.
A glue stick.
And some magazines or your laptop.
Next find images of the things you want in life. A pic of a cruise ship for great vacations. The new cadillac CTS, a Rarri. A dream home. All of these should be cut out and posted on your dream board. Lastly put the dream board where you can’t help but see it. All the time. This will help you to focus on your dreams which will fuel your mind to find opportunities and make money.
A goal sheet.
Easy. One piece of paper and a pen. List all your goals in any order you like. they’re your goals after all. These must encompass: Business goals
Life goals
Family goals
Career goals
And any others you want in there. Make it work and make 3 copies.

-A financial status sheet.
You won’t get where you want or need to be if you don’t know your starting point.
Write out your current financial needs- rent, utilities, cell phone, tithes, fun, car lease, insurance. Any of these and all of them if applicable. Any thing you spend money on consistently is on this list. Mortgage, student loans, cigarettes. All of it. Know where your money is going.
Next write what is coming in. You know what goes out so see the income that funds it.
After this see if you have a surplus or a deficit. If you make four grand every month and your expenses are three and a half grand congrats. If not, start eliminating. HBO isn’t a necessity.

-A debt elimination plan.
Almost all of us have debt. How many have a plan to remove it? Now that you did the financials see what money you can free up to pay debts. Start with the small ones and then as they disappear use the money that is added to remove bigger and bigger debts consecutively.

-An income creation plan.
How are you going to thrive?
How will you make more money?
How will that money make you money?
On paper draft your ideas towards making more money and then doubling this money. In our economy this is rare but if you don’t shoot for the moon you’re a fool. Now that you made your plan- see a professional. Get some guidance. Don’t buy anything per say but learn. And definitely save.
SAVE SAVE SAVE.
You can’t deal with life’s issues without an emergency fund and a life contingency fund. Save anything you can and you are a winner. Save ten percent and you are a king.
-A wealth accumulation structure.
You got the money, you’re crushing the debt. Now how do we get richer. Do you buy land or stocks?
Etfs or silver?
Gold or commodities?
Its up to you. The world is yours. I invest in numismatics regularly. But since I’m not a professional I strongly suggest you see a financial professional. I’m not one. I’m just a guy who makes informed decisions. Do the same my friends.

Why you NEED a Blog and HOW to Blog

9 Aug

Why you NEED a Blog and HOW to Blog.

So I’ve heard the same question I asked before in many different ways-
Why blog?
Do I need a blog?
How do I blog
Why would people read my blog?

Simple.
There are billions of people on this planet and many of them are looking for the same. answers you are. And many people are looking for guidance to get there. Now you don’t have to be at the top, but you do need to know the basics. And as such, let’s explore them.

*Step 1:
Never blog about what you don’t know or can’t sell.
If u hate math, blog about anything else. If you aren’t intimately involved with a subject then you are wasting your time and your readers time. Know your subject matter. You don’t need a degree, but you need to be able to create cohesive content that isn’t convoluted but easily comprehended.
I will say that you could just rant and rant and be a pedantic ass as well or instead of. However it does nothing to help you sell YOU. Or your brand. Or your product. Or your mission. What it will do conceivably is draw attention in droves or sink you faster than the Hindenburg. You see the guy with a lot of opinions, and no facts or smarts- isn’t helping anyone. He just wants to be heard.
A good blogger isn’t always seen but his stats increase, his targeted market improves, and the fans, friends, and followers come back for more. So you can be Howard Stern, but I’d rather share insight and grow intensely. What do you want?

*Step2: Keep It Simple Stupid.
Yup, KISS works. Don’t be insulted just appreciate the simplicity. Your readers will too. Less is more when you are educating consumers and or edifying partners. Both groups want and need a simple system to emulate. They both want success. So layout a plan that isn’t convoluted or too brainy. I’ve known quite a few marketers who forget that what they have mastered- is a foreign language to their recruits. Start from the beginning. Stephen Hawkins is brilliant. An unparalleled genius. Yet his true strength lies in his ability to take complicated topics such as astrophysics, chaos math and other sciences and break them down for the common man. His books can teach you things college can’t. Because his methods and word choice is cohesive in such a fashion that a twelve year old can grasp it.
This is the goal. I don’t care if you’re Good Will Hunting or MIT’s finest. If you can’t reach the people you have failed.

*Step3: Repeat this process.
Every article, every blog, every time. Let it be simple. Let it be fun. Do your best and recreate great material. The process is is what you put into it.

*Step4: Enjoy yourself.
You should relish every step. Every blog post. Have fun. Its all yours.

*Bonus concept:
Solve problems.
When you can see what people need and supply the way or show them the path to achieving you will have the team of your dreams.
