Your Right to Be Rich

Everyday I look around at all the abundance surrounding me. Living with this abundant mentality, I have created a life of wealth, success and prosperity for myself. Looking around, I also notice the people who choose to live in lack and distess. They have a poverty consciousness rather than a prosperity consciousness. For most of my life I, too, lived in poverty consciousness. I believed there wasn't enough to go around, that rich people were hording what was meant for everyone, that by other people being rich, they were preventing me from thriving in this world.

Fortunately, I woke up. After reading, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles and Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill, I realized it is each persons birth right to be wealthy. It's just that most people choose to deny this right. They choose to suffer in lack and limitation when there is so much abundance all around them.

This is one of the reasons I absolutely love the home based business industry and the company I work with. Finding this opportunity four years ago, it gave me a system to make a fantastic income and become a self-made millionaire, but also a product so I could work on myself and move out of my poverty consciousness into the prosperous life I now live. Realistically, it is impossible for someone to go from struggle and financial strife to wealth and prosperity without doing the mental work. You have to clear up the limiting beliefs, the disempowering attitudes and your entire way of being to open yourself up to receiving wealth. Not only was I looking for a business, but one that would provide me tools to accellerate my learning so I could start making money quickly. Following the system and the program for my self-development, I went from making $26K/year to making over $20K a month in less than 90 days.

You have the right to be wealthy. To truly enjoy life. Wattles writes in his book, The Science of Getting Rich, "Whatever may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich.

No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money with which to buy them.

Man develops in mind, soul, and body by making use of things, and society is so organized that man must have money in order to become the possessor of things; therefore, the basis of all advancement for man must be the science of getting rich.

The object of all life is development; and everything that lives has an alienable right to all the development it is capable of attaining.

Man's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich."

So, you see, the only way to truly experience life is to open yourself up to the wealth you deserve to have. To your success! Shannon

Keep the Big Picture in Mind

Keep the Big Picture in Mind: "The Big Picture Horizon: Time to Soar
by Donald J. Trump
Chairman, Trump University

Men are born to succeed, not fail.
-- Thoreau
Sometimes people spend too much time focusing on problems instead of focusing on opportunities. You have to keep the big picture in mind even when minding the details, or your vision could become micromanaged in an unnecessary way. I always try to keep two wavelengths going at once, which prevents brain cramps and reminds me that I�m destined for success. How do I know this is my destiny? Because like Thoreau, I believe we are born to succeed, not to fail. If I can believe it, you can believe it too.
Here�s how. First of all, dispel all negativity. Zap negative thoughts and people the moment they appear. Remember, problems are bound to crop up, but that's not a reason to get discouraged. Even problems can be turned around to your advantage, and sometimes surprising events can happen. When I had some financial problems back in the 1990s, I remember debating with myself whether or not to attend a black tie dinner at the Waldorf. I certainly didn�t feel like celebrating anything or talking to anyone, but I got dressed, went there, and as it turned out I was seated next to someone I really clicked with�and he was a banker. The chemistry for great things was there, and it was the last thing I had expected to happen. I had been in a negative mindset but my disciplined side took over, and without any expectations on my part, things took a decidedly better turn just because I showed up.
Second, you have to remain determined. If you have a big picture in mind, you will need big determination to go with it. The old saying � Rome wasn�t built in a day� is an apt one. There is no easy way, much as I�d like to tell you otherwise. Click Here to read the rest of Trump's powerful article.

The Original and Only Science of Getting Rich Network!

The Original and Only Science of Getting Rich Network!: "'The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor.
'It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.' "

Deducting your home office. Take advantage of the powerful tax incentives of being self-employed and working from home. Click here for the guidelines posted in Home Business Magazine.

Entrepreneurs know the benefits of deducting business expenses. There may be more deductions available to you that you aren't even aware of. This keeps more of the money you earn in your pocket. Work with a good, qualified accountant who is confident and experienced in working with entrepreneurs.

Choosing a Business That Fits for You

When I was first considering becoming an entrepreneur, I looked at all of my options. In speaking with a few very successful self-made millionaires, I was given some powerful advice:

  • First, choose a business you are passionate about.
  • Second, choose a business that has the growth potential to meet your immediate income goals.
  • Lastly, choose a business that has a broad marketplace as niche markets can sometimes stiffle growth.

I took a good look at myself and defined what I wanted. First, I wanted to generate at least $250,000 in net profit my first year. Most people told me I was nuts to think I could profit that much in a new business but I firmly believed I could. Second, I wanted a business that would empower people to break through their limitations to realize their true potential. I myself had overcome a tremendous amount of adversity and wanted to show people they could choose the life they wanted to live. After all, that's why I became a teacher - I just wasn't willing to work for $26K a year. Third, I wanted to work from home. I knew a home based business would provide freedom and I wasn't looking to borrow my life away to start a franchise so I could play with lettuce and work all day. I like to do what I want to do when I want to do it. So if I want to go for a swim at one o'clock in the afternoon, I wanted the freedom to do it. I began to contemplate the ideal business and focus on finding exactly what I wanted. I also began to sort through some of the junk and scams out there.

"Ask and ye shall receive"...the perfect home based business practically fell on my lap in the form of a little yellow flyer. John called in and we found a business that fit our criteria. A personal development company started by self-made millionaires with a curriculum to teach people how to massively excellerate their personal growth, drop the limiting beliefs and become an entrepreneur. We knew the personal development industry was exploding (click here for info on the industry) and growing at a rate of more than 8% per year.That mixed with a powerful direct sales compensation plan producing profits up to $8000.00 per sale, we knew we could quickly reach our goals and help others to do the same.

We checked out the marketplace and demographics of people wanting the products and we were pleasently suprised. The market place was diverse and the demographics were varied. Anyone looking for better results and more money was our marketplace. We got started, followed the simple business model provided to us, tapped into the coaching resources and within 90 days were producing more than $20K in net profit per month. Our seventh month we made over $100K in a single month.*

When looking to start a business, choose a business that meets your income goals and intentions while following the suggested criteria I mentioned above. In doing so, you'll find making money is an easy flowing experience.

*Results are not typical and are not represented as a guarantee of anyone's potential earnings.

Young Millionaires

Check out Entrepreneur's article on Young Millionaires. I love reading about people who made it happen - visionaries! Each of the profiles is uniquely different - some got started working at home with home based businesses, others did spin-offs in their respective fields, and even others came up with uniquely novel ideas and ran with it. They all overcame their own personal adversities and obstacles to make it big. Absolutely Awesome!
