I've been making a personal observation of people around me. When they complain about not being able to "get ahead" or wonder why the seas aren't parting for them, it's because they're getting in their own way.
It's almost impossible to see anything about your own life when you're swimming in the muddy waters, trying to keep your head just far enough above to not drown. However, when it comes to other people's lives, this is when it becomes obvious what they're doing "wrong" when it comes to not succeeding in ways that they talk about wanting to succeed.
There are a few different reasons why you're not where you want to be in life:
1) You're not specific enough about where you want to be so...how the hell do you expect to get there if you don't know where "there" really is?
2) You're "too busy" to focus on the things that will get you to where you want to be in life. Life keeps getting in the way and "one day" when you have time, you'll get around to doing the things you know you have to do to reach those dream goals.
3) You're waiting around for the magic genie, Santa Claus, or some other mythical creature to magically make the life you want appear without any work on your part.
Or...maybe you don't know what the heck you want but you know what type of life you have now simply isn't working out or making you happy at all.
I have thousands of students. Many go on to be extremely successful in both real estate investing as well as using my Aggressive Income Strategies.
Then there are others who completely fail.
And it's not for the lack of trying either.
One day it dawned on me why these people fail. I realized why some people hit their success out of the ballpark right away while others fail with one project after another until they finally give up.
A lot of people always ask me the same question which goes something like this: "Monica, where should I start out first?"
My answer used to be this: "Start fixing/rebuilding personal credit and start building business credit. Then decide if you want to start an Aggressive Income Business to get revenue for down payments on cash flow real estate. Then decide which types of properties you'll be investing in and where in the country you'll be investing."
Now the answer is different. It goes like this: "You have to develop a 'warrior-like' focus knowing exactly what you want and how you'll get there before you decide to move forward with anything otherwise anything you do to work toward 'success' will fail."
It may seem obvious but it's not. You have to know precisely where you want to be and within what timeline you'll get there before you'll be ready to start moving forward in any direction.
What if you don't know exactly what you want? Time to figure that out. Now!
What if you are someone who has been aiming toward certain goals and have been trying to get there but you've been failing? Something is "off kilter" that has to be shifted.
What if you "sort of" know what you want but you've found yourself sitting around not committing or doing anything about your goals? Maybe it's time to sh** or get off the pot!
The reason we've entered into this lifetime is to experience as much in life as we can. And I don't know how to do that without being able to do the things I want to do. What helps me do the things I want to do is making a lot of money. Without money, I can't experience what I want to experience. Maybe you've noticed that you need to have money to experience those things in life you want to experience, too.
If you have been unfocused or trying different businesses (or investing) that hasn't worked, it's because you need to be set in the right focused direction. This is the first step toward reaching any and every goal you could possibly imagine.
I have a very special Change Your Life Mentorship Group. It's a 6-week 100% online group that will give you that "mind shift" you've probably been waiting decades for. This is my newest and most exciting group because it will set you straight and on your way to ultimate success and well-being within only a month and a half.
Here's the link to listen to my totally awesome audio seminar that talks all about the group:
Last night I was sitting in my Jacuzzi, watching an incredible sunset and feeling so damn lucky about how I've been able to mold my life for myself.
Yes, you read that correctly. I "molded" my life. Anyone can mold the life they want with a few simple steps.
If you think it's hard to create a home-based business that generates $20,000 per month in your pocket, think again. It's more difficult getting up to an alarm clock each morning, dragging yourself against your will out of bed, and sitting on a freeway...just to get to the job that sucks.
And I'm not even talking about the trials and tribulations -- the pure misery -- of what you have to go through after you get there. But I'll be that's pretty miserable and sickening too.
Then, when your work day is over, you shuffle to your car in a semi-trance wondering if it can ever get any better than this while dreaming about the ever elusive weekend. Because we all know the weekend never lasts.
Ah, yes. This is one of those weekends, in fact. Because it's Sunday. And many of you are already starting to feel that repulsive bile feeling in the pit of your stomach because you have to start that crappy miserable week all over again.
Poor you. And I'm only saying "poor you" because you've specifically and consciously chosen to do nothing about it...yet it's very simple to change your mind about living your miserable lifestyle. Yes, you can change it. Right now. Today, in fact!
Another thing I was thinking about while lounging in the hot tub: my "big decision" that I've been toiling with over the past couple of years.
Should I keep my staff and my warehouse with all the ridiculous overhead? Or should I ditch it all, make more money, stay at home more, and pursue some of the other stuff I've been wanting to do for decades now.
I'm sure you think that's a no-brainer, right? Except I happen to like my staff and I happen to like "going somewhere" everyday for a specified time frame. I tend to be more productive when I'm not at home.
But one thing I reminded myself which made me ecstatically happy:
I could, at any given time, take one of my businesses that I already have in place to pull in a cool $50,000 per month in my pocket. And
I could run it myself without any staff or overhead.
By the way, this one business I'm talking about was started during the time (last year) when I was creative additional "case studies" for my book that's coming out soon. (Ah, yes. The book. Where is that freaking book already anyway?? Tune in for more details in April...or so.)
My point: these $20,000-per-month home-based business strategies are so easy to do that you can start them at the same time as having a full-time job or business. And they generally "take off" within 30 to 90 days after putting them together, depending on which of the super easy strategies you decide to put together.
As you know, I recently completed my 2-day Underground Secret Event for Aggressive Income Business Strategies in Los Angeles. It was last weekend. And it was a phenomenal event...definitely one of my Top 3 Events of All Time for sure!
This is where I go into detail about specific home-based businesses for Aggressive Income that anyone can start and do successfully.
Anyone!
If you don't do something else other than living paycheck to paycheck, you're nevergoing to get anywhere in life. You'll never have the money to invest, to put money into a retirement account, to save for your children's education, or to take a vacation once in awhile just to "recharge" yourself. You'll remain on a rat infested treadmill thinking you're getting ahead while wishing the entire time that you'd drop dead just to end your misery.
Why live like that anymore when you don't have to?
I forgot to mention in my email the other day that I have some powerful testimonials from the students who attended my event last weekend.
Here's the link for those testimonial videos: CLICK HERE!
Here's are the kick-ass money-making secrets my students discovered at my event:
How to Make $30,000 Per Month with Amazon Kindle with a Secret Strategy I've Never Talked About Before This Event
Some New Details I Slipped in on How to Quickly Build Business Credit Using Experian Business
How My New Wealth Ninja Student Gregg Makes $85,000 Per Month on eBay Using a Single (and Super Easy) Strategy He Learned from a 2012 Training I Did
Which Types of Passive Income Assets to Acquire with Your Aggressive Income Including a Powerful Super Passive Income Vehicle I've Never Mentioned to My Students Before

And...a Bonus DVD Where I Talk About a Secret Website Where You Can Raise Money for Anything Without Giving Away a Stake in Your Business!
And Much, Much More!!
Now it's your turn to discover all of these details so you can completely turn your life around.
And yes, this is even better than winning the lottery!
Do you think it's difficult to rake in $85,000 per month like my New Wealth Ninja student Gregg does? Think again! The process he used is so ridiculously easy that anyone can do it. I even revealed something about how he gets certain pictures in his eBay listings which is pretty much solely responsible for selling his products to the tune of $85,000 per month...and I'm not sure I was supposed to reveal this very significant detail but I did!
I just finished my 2-Day Boot Camp Seminar in LA this past weekend...and now it feels like I've just been hit by a freight train. It's either the pollen in the air or I'm catching something from my daughter's kindergarten class (since I volunteered yesterday).
Or maybe I'm so beat that I need a break!
I have to say that this past weekend was a blast with all of my awesome students.
But even more notable...
I revealed exactly how my student Gregg got up to $85,000 per month on eBay. That's $85,000 per month in his pocket after all expenses! (I never revealed this information before on exactly how he did it and I think I may have included a little "too much" information on some of his "trade secrets" but it's too late now!)
And did you know that I had a phone consulting session with Gregg right around the holidays last year and he had the nerve to complain? Yes, that's right! He was actually complaining because he was "too busy" and felt like he needed to slow down. Whaaaa-whaaaa-whaaaa!
Un-freaking-believable!
I had to quickly remind him of what his life looked like when he first "found me" around the spring of 2012. I also had to remind him of how broke he was when he borrowed money and pawned some of his stuff to be able to attend one of my two summer 2012 in-office New Wealth Ninja trainings.
Yes, things were pretty bad for Gregg for his then-girlfriend (and now-wife) just a little more than 18 months ago.
Boy, what a difference a handful of months make.
Gregg decided to focus on eBay, specifically with health supplements. Now, a little something about Gregg. He's not terribly smart. (Sorry, Gregg but it's the truth.) He doubted (and maybe I did too) that he could do a single eBay listing on his own no less build such a successful business on eBay in a ridiculously short period of time.
Yet he did.
You see, my "lower IQ" students tend to do much better with my business strategies while my "smarties" (engineers, lawyers, doctors, etc.) will over-analyze everything...then end up doing exactly nothing with the powerful education they've derived from my trainings. My "lower IQ" folks are much like fearless puppy dogs. They'll go after a goal with focus, enthusiasm and tenacity without psyching themselves out about what they think they "can't" do.
And this is where Gregg fits in.
When I say he's not that bright, I mean that he realistically wouldn't even be able to qualify for a lower management position in a fast food restaurant. (He's the one who made this comment about himself as he was demonstrating to me that anyone can do what he does.)
So, how does Gregg now pull in $85,000 a month from eBay based on my New Wealth Ninja teachings? (He went to a summer training and took my New Wealth Ninja 8-week online mentorship group in 2012.)
I explain everything that he does based on a single concept that I taught in the in-office training. I mention that single concept, exactly what "magical" template software he uses to build his powerful eBay listings and even how he gets a certain type of picture that is single-handedly responsible for his high rate of success. (I think this is the part I wasn't supposed to reveal.)
I also include information on the types of supplements he sells on eBay to make all the money he makes and how he uses a very simple "upsell" strategy that other eBayers won't use. This "upsell" strategy is responsible for about half of his monthly sales!
Now you can get these videos including all of the details I just outlined with Gregg's eBay business.
I think the reason why people don't believe they can retire in less than 3 years is because they have their mindset on making some paltry paycheck at a useless job (probably making no more than they're making right now) and can't imagine seeing tens of thousands of dollars coming in per month...in their pocket.
Do they believe it takes too much effort? Do they think that only "lucky" people can make that type of money? Do they have in their mind that they'll have to work 80 hours a week to pull it off?
What if I told you that you could pull in $20,000 per month in your pocket by working no more than 20 hours a week?
And what if I told you that you wouldn't have to leave your desk in the corner of your spare room in your house to pull it off?
And what if I told you that you could set up a business within a couple of days and start making money in less than a month?
And what if I told you that you'd need no more than a few hundred dollars to start...if that's all you had to work with?
Wouldn't you want to know what I'm talking about?
I know I would! Even as wealthy as I've gotten over the years with a variety of different businesses and investments, I'm always interested in new entrepreneurial pursuits. I would never pass up a legitimate way to make money, especially something so ridiculously simple as this!
P.S. Sometimes you have to sh** or get off the pot. There are no other choices in life. Do it...or don't. If you don't, others can take advantage of the opportunities while you continue to wallow in self-pity saying, "Why me?" Why you? Why not you? Why did you give your opportunity away? It's like having the winning lottery ticket and throwing it into the trash. Who does that?!
The Original Bonnie and Clyde "Death" Car atWhiskey Pete's in Primm, Nevada
I was at a trade show for most of last week in Las Vegas. On the way out of Vegas, it's usually a necessity to stop at Nevada/California border where there are 3 casinos tightly situated to extract your last dollar while leaving (after extracting your first dollar when you initially entered days before).
One of the casinos is called Whiskey Pete's where they have the original Bonnie and Clyde "death" car. They've had this car there as long as I can remember as a young chick entering and leaving Nevada, long before I was of the legal drinking and gambling age.
Looking at this car reminds me of how different things were back then. This couple were killed in 1934 during the crux of the Great
Depression where, it seems, quite a few people ventured to the "dark side" in an effort to support themselves during a time when few legitimate ways to make money existed.
It also made me realize what a kick-ass time we live in now because it's ridiculously easy to make money. It's even easier to make money legally than it is to, say, rob a bank or stand on a street corner selling dope.
Bonnie Parker actually had to exert some energy back then to go out, rob a bank, run for her life...and hope she didn't get caught or killed in the process.
Expending that type of energy to make the type of money she made is ludicrous in this day and age. (Feel that sense of gratitude right now that you live in 2014! Whooooo!)
Over the years, many of you know that I've always been a serial entrepreneur. In fact, most very successful business owners and investors do multiple things. It's called the concept of Multiple Streams of Income. (Robert Allen wrote a book with that title years ago.
Great book. Read it sometime. Just avoid the second book about the Internet because it's not so great, especially now when all the information is outdated.)
Being a serial entrepreneur has afforded me the opportunity to not only learn quite a few ways to make money but also to keep up with the times on what works...and what doesn't. And what used to work...that doesn't work anymore.
Including, of course, how rapidly the times do change.
As always, I'm teaching everyone everything I know. Including:
How to...
Make a fortune with Amazon Kindle ebooks.
Use eBay and Amazon to rake in $20,000 to $50,000 per month.
Make millions in information publishing downloads with a simple website.
Get wealthy fast using my new offline-to-online marketing method that is literally the only way to make fast money with a home-based business.
Use my "money spreadsheet" to virtually choose the dollar amount you want to make per week...and how to match that amount in 30 days or less!
Several of my students who have been following my Aggressive Income Strategies are already making between $20,000 and $85,000 per month by working these strategies. Yes, you read that right. One of my students is making $85,000 per month after all business expenses are paid. That's money right in his pocket which he's using to invest in real estate. I will be discussing exactly what he's doing and how he built his business inside of only 9 months starting with only a few hundred dollars! (His secret is so easy that anyone can do it!)
How to Get Banks to Call You to Give You Unsecured Cash!
Right now I'm at a trade show in Las Vegas. (See pic below where Ronnie is manning the booth.) While I was sitting there, I got a call from my bank...wanting to give me more money.
More money that I don't want or need. Nice problem to have, isn't it?
You can't access unsecured cash without business credit. I don't care if you have the best and most perfect personal credit in history.
If you want cash, they'll ask you for collateral if you want to borrow under your personal credit. You need business credit if you want cash for down payments on real estate or to invest in building a business.
Many of my students ask me, "Monica...where do I start?"
Answer: Getting involved in any type of real estate investing and/or building a new business that will require an influx of cash to get off the ground on a "serious level" requires cash. Period.
You Can Build Stellar Business Credit in Just a Few Months!
It takes money to make big money. You need money for real estate (down payment and earnest money cash). You need money to build a serious multi-million-dollar business. You need money to make big money.
Of course, there are ways to make money on a shoestring budget but you won't be investing in real estate in today's market unless you have some cash for even the basic due diligence requirements such as building/property inspections and appraisals.
One of the things that helped grow our business (Brie Labs) and allows us to do trade shows and other business-building strategies is through the use of our built business credit. I would never be able to get this business to the multi-million-dollar threshold unless I had the credit needed to be able to pull this off.
So...While I Was Sitting in the Trade Show Booth...
Not but 30 minutes ago, I got a call from US Bank (and no, it wasn't Brittany but a "higher up" guy") wanting to give me more money.
Mind you, just last week I got a letter from Wells Fargo, wanting to give me $100,000. My business was already pre-approved for that amount. I threw the letter away.
It's nice to be in a position where I can "throw away" money like that but I didn't get into this position by accident. I worked for it, namely by fixing/rebuilding my personal credit while meticulously building stellar business credit for 2 companies.
And I didn't get rich in real estate by using my own money. I got rich in real estate by using OPM (Other People's Money). And you can't attach yourself to OPM without doing some groundwork (building the credit) first.
I created a spreadsheet from scratch and it's a powerful tool for you to use to essentially "write your own check" and make the amount you want to make based on how much offline-to-online marketing you want to do.
Now, in case your "lost in space" on what all this means, I'm going to give you a short synopsis of what all this is.
A couple of weeks ago when I did my in-office training with a handful of students on distribution profits, I slid in a "test" presentation that turned out to be mind blowing. This simple presentation got everyone in the room extremely excited to the point where they demanded I send this Excel spreadsheet to them directly via email the moment that the event ended due to how powerful this money tool is.
But it's not just about the "money spreadsheet," as I've coined it.
It's about what's behind this powerful money tool where you can "write your own check" by doing a powerful marketing strategy that I talked about for the very first time at this 2 day event. (I talked about it on Day Two.)
Do you want to be "clued in" on a secret that can be worth AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO MAKE with a new offline-to-online marketing strategy I just stumbled on over the past couple of months?
First, I talk at great length about all of this here. Second, check out this free video with the actual spreadsheets you can download by clicking here.
Little did I know...this presentation got everyone soooooo excited about the highly profitable (and yet easy to do) money-making strategy that they all demanded I send them this special "money spreadsheet" after the event was over. The following week after the training was over, I did send everyone this "money spreadsheet" because, even when I look at it now, it's so incredibly extraordinary that it actually gives me the chills.
Why?
Because you can literally "choose" how much money you want to make.
Take a look at the partial screenshot of the "money spreadsheet" at the top of the page.
As you can see, based on the information plugged in, this marketing campaign will make me $5,325 ON THE VERY LOW END to $16,200 on the "average" HIGHER END.
This is PURE PROFIT IN YOUR POCKET...after all expenses have been paid on this campaign! If you do one campaign per week, you stand to make a "middle average" of $10,763 IN YOUR POCKET PER WEEK!
But you have to understand how to do it...and you'll discover ALL of these money strategies on DAY 2 of my in-office training!
The "money spreadsheet" you'll receive will show you all the other details but you have to watch the 2-day training to see how to use this powerful spreadsheet. Again, all of this is presented on DAY 2 of the training event...and it'll blow your mind! In fact, this is such powerful yet super easy to do that all of my students in the training wanted to do this in addition to their distribution business.
Just to be clear, this offline-to-online marketing method is actually SEPARATE from the distribution business and is a powerful Aggressive Income Strategy you could easily do from home starting with only a few hundred dollars!
A couple of weeks ago during a "video filming" break I was chatting with my videographer, Jesse, who many of you have seen at my seminar events over the past 4 years. I was telling him that I'm "immersing" myself into a new world because I finally got over a ridiculous fear and that I was finally taking the first step to shoot for a dream I've had for so long.
And that fear is so stupid that I feel like I've wasted the last 20 years of my life being afraid of...nothing.
What is this fear I've had for so many years?
I was afraid of taking a step forward to pursue this one particular hobby/dream I've had since I was in high school. I've always wanted to be a screenwriter.
Except, something weird happened between then (high school) and just recently (New Year's Day 2014). I've been deathly afraid of doing anything with my talent in writing.
I've been afraid of joining any events, finishing my screenplays, or moving forward beyond the scope of reading a book. And even then, some of the books I wouldn't finish.
I realized that there was a major "wall" or obstacle that I had manifested in my head which seemed to get larger in size as I aged. The "wall" started with "I can't possibly be successful doing this" to adding onto it with "because I'm a woman and Hollywood doesn't like women writers" to "I can make more money having a variety of different businesses than I ever will as a writer" to "I'm getting old and Hollywood doesn't like 40+ writers."
It's amazing how the "devil" can get larger in size when you let it.
But then something funny happens when you start thinking you're getting "too old" for something. You'll either accept that you're too old and recess into inactivity toward your dreams...or you'll kick your ass into swift action and do something about your dreams as a final ditch attempt at making them work since you view it as your "last chance."
I adopted the latter approach.
So, here I am, quickly careening into "40-something" and realized that it's now or never.
One thing I've always agreed with Tony Robbins about is his "taking massive action" approach to attaining your goals. Of course, not just "any" old action will do. You have to have very specific step-by-step action plans that are doable, attainable, and something you can wrap your head around without psyching yourself out (by being overwhelmed at any point).
Back to the screenwriting stuff...
After the first of the year, I went from being "afraid" of pursuing this dream to signing up for everything I could get my hands on.
The first class I signed up for took place over the weekend before last. It was a 2-day screenwriting workshop conducted by a guy named Jose. The purpose of the class was to teach us how to "beat out" a screenplay in 15 simple beats, as outlined in a book called Save the Cat!
Without getting into any boring details about the class, when I was telling Jesse about the class, he asked if the teacher -- Jose -- had any screenwriting credits. I said I didn't know. He said, "Let's hope he's 'Jose the screenwriter' and not Jose the screen fixer.'"
I couldn't help but to laugh...even though I don't know what a "screen fixer" is. I guess that's really besides the point.
What is the point?
How many fears do you have that are "unsubstantiated demons" floating around in your head, creating huge walls that are nothing more than smoke and mirrors?
When are you going to decide to step out and "immerse" yourself into your new world? Or are you happy dying with the life you have now?
What happened when I went to my class? It wasn't really about the class for me, even though I did learn a lot. It was about building confidence to do something about my dream, even if it was just showing up somewhere. Now I'm on fire...and I'm signing up for everything I can because I got a little bit of confidence.
Plus...I realized that people must older than me are aiming to write screenplays.
Plus...I also realized that I'm more creative than I thought I was since my movie ideas blew theirs out of the water.
Confidence breeds success. I'll keep you posted on my dream project.
In the meantime, time's running out. For you. For me.
You see, I have some talents and knowledge that you need if you want to reach all of the financial dreams you have for yourself. And one thing that I found when I attended that workshop was that...I had a really hard time coming back to the office on Monday. In fact, I actually stayed home. When I came in on Tuesday, it was like my left brain (logic/business) shut down since my right brain (creativity) was "open" for a solid 2 days before.
You need to use me for as long as I'm "able" to disperse this powerful money-making information to you.
One of the Most Amazing Pieces of History I've Ever Seen!
Some of you remember when I sent pictures of my last trip to Detroit. This trip included a visit to the Henry Ford Museum where I saw some significant pieces of history that I wanted to share pictures of with you.
I took this picture at the Henry Ford Museum and was really taken aback by the fact that the chair where Lincoln was assassinated still has blood all over it. (You can see the blood at the top of the chair and on the seat part.) It gave me the chills knowing that this was the exact chair he was sitting in when it all happened. I've never been a history buff and I've never been really good at memorizing details about history but I can tell you this this chair really did have an impact on me...mostly because I realized that it doesn't matter how important you are. It can all end in a fraction of a second when you least expect it. And no one is immune...not even the President of the United States.
Ironically enough, in the same museum you'll find the car where John F. Kennedy was assassinated. What I didn't know is that they put this car back in service after Kennedy was killed by putting a roof on it and repainting it black. What was strange to me is that with as much money as the government happily wastes on everything, why couldn't they drum up another car to caravan the next President of the United States in? It wouldn't have been that expensive! (Just food for thought, I guess.)
