I was just about to post this blog, hopeful that the bailout proposal finalized by Congress would pass the vote in the House…and this headline jumped out at me:

In a vote that literally shook the government, Wall Street, and markets around the world, the proposed emergency rescue for the nation’s financial system was defeated, leaving the Bush administration and both parties reeling as they try to pick up the pieces.

America is in real trouble! We can’t rely on the government to bail us out. We can’t sit back and just hope for the best. Smart entrepreneurs are succeeding even when the economy is in a meltdown.

America is in the sh_ _ter! I can’t say it any plainer. IF YOU’RE GOING TO SURVIVE THIS MESS, YOU HAVE TO OWN YOUR OWN BUSINESS!! And then you have to invest wisely.

Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump of “Why We Want You to Be Rich” fame have stated this fact over and over.

I own my own network marketing business, and I’m telling you that relying on a company to provide your paycheck is seriously risky right now with the economy at an all-time low and layoffs more common than hirings.

If you are still living paycheck to paycheck, how’s that working out for you?

The problem is fear, isn’t it?

The risk of jumping into the unknown and loosening your grip on that lifeline – your paycheck – is greater than the current, very real risk of relying on unstable companies to write that paycheck.

Today, not enough lawmakers were willing to take the political risk to send a lifeline to troubled financial institutions…and look what happened. NOTHING! No action. No results. Oh, except for the Dow plummeting nearly 800 points, the most in a single day!!

So, what’s the solution? What if you knew there was a rock solid business out there that met all of your criteria and allowed you to write your own paycheck?

•Unlimited income
•Flexible schedule
•More time with family – time to enjoy life
•Stress-free retirement
•Investment counsel and opportunities
•Residual income

And this is just the beginning. I can help you meet the financial goals you’ve set for yourself and your family. I am currently only accepting 10 new people a month to work with on my team so that I can give them the best support and mentoring available in the industry. Get on my waiting list.

I know I’m all fired up. I care! So if you’re ready to “fire” your boss and learn if you have what it takes to write your own paycheck irregardless of what the economy throws at us, I’ll give you the help you need.

You’ll need to submit a simple application. We do not just accept everyone…only those who are serious about becoming full time home business owners and entrepreneurs are approved. Are you going to live the life you design or one that has been designed by someone else?

Dedicated to your service,

To be a successful entrepreneur, you have to have the entrepreneur mindset. That is to say, you need to condition your mind to stop thinking that what you’re doing is just a hobby. Instead, think of it as a career. What better way to do that than to start with some self-improvement?

Dabbling in network marketing is enough to “wet the beak”, as the saying goes, but in order to realize the full potential of any enterprise, you have to apply your full potential.

Invest in yourself…this is no hobby!

The key to success in almost anything is a lot of luck, backed with a lot of hard work. When opportunity knocks at your door, you don’t just let it in; you have to entertain it and give it your best shot. As they say, nothing worth winning is won by half measures.

You are the asset whose worth will never depreciate in value. Whatever monetary investment you put into educating yourself will directly and immediately accrue on your value. You are also the only asset that will stay with you through it all because everything and everyone else is expendable.

Work in Progress

You see, I didn’t get the best grades in school. And after taking “Music Theory” THREE TIMES in college and STILL not passing it, I changed my major to Business Administration.

And when I ventured into internet marketing, 20 years after success in corporate America, I knew NOTHING about online marketing! Honestly, I didn’t even know what a “url” or a “domain” was. Pitiful, huh?

But I was smart enough to know a few things that most people don’t…

I knew that I had to have certain skills to succeed, and so I took course after course and read everything I could get my hands on…and I don’t ever plan to stop learning and staying current with what’s new.

But here’s the one thing I NEVER did…

I never complained, I never whined, I never bitched, I never blamed anyone other than myself, and I NEVER gave up. I never accepted anything less than success.

If you want what I’ve got, you’ve got to be willing to do what I’ve done.

You’ve got to earn the right and pay your dues. There’s NO other way!!

Are you willing to do that?

Getting the entrepreneur mindset is not something that you wake up one day completely equipped with. It’s ongoing and you have to start somewhere…
