I was talking to the guy who sold me on yet another camera system at my house.  Yes, more cameras were installed.  That brings it up to 18 cameras now.  I know...I'm a little twisted on this camera thing but let's just say this is the type of thing that happens when you're a neighbor scorned, if you will.  After all, I trust absolutely no one anymore, and rightfully so.

So, back to the security guy, he was asking me small-talk questions about if I had plans for spring break and other nonsense that nobody really cares how you answer.  In fact, most people aren't even listening when they ask you stuff.  I know...what a shocker, right?  And I hate talking about myself anyway so I was asking him about himself.  Come to find out that the guy owns a couple of small dealerships and he's working with the security service as a higher-level sales rep just a little longer until he can move on when he's able to add another couple of dealerships.

He went on to tell me that he has 3 sons, all of whom are working at the dealerships now and that in 9 months "max," he'd be joining them and working within his own businesses rather than for someone else. I was so impressed with his precise plan that I had to tell him this:

"I've been teaching students for years through seminars and mentorship groups; most don't make it because they don't have a PRECISE PLAN.  They're floundering about through life, not having any idea where they want to go, who they want to be, and what they want to do.  Some of them actually ask ME to choose their future for them.  And how preposterous is that??"

But I kept thinking about it long after he left.  People are so distracted, busy, tired, and not enthused about life anymore that they just never do anything significant.  They lose their greatness by losing themselves somewhere along the way, perhaps early on in life.  Perhaps much later.  Who knows?  Who cares?  It almost doesn't matter really.  They just lose themselves in the mix somewhere and many just never get themselves back.

There have been different times in my life where I felt lost, maybe even found myself adrift and confused among trying different things but failing to launch anything.  Some projects I'd launch but they'd never fully get off the ground.  Others were highly successful yet I pulled the plug because I realized, after all, that it wasn't my true calling.  But how do you know really if something's for you or not unless you try it?  Life is a smorgasbord or a buffet table.  You always have to dive right in, try as many things as possible, and only then will you really know what is for you and what totally sucks.

Unfortunately for you, my friend, is that you've been too wrapped up in doing things for everybody else that you forgot about yourself.  Do you even remember the last time you were able to do something for yourself?  When was the last time you engrossed yourself in a good fiction novel?  When was the last time you had a massage?  When was the last time you went on a trip to a place where YOU really wanted to go...like somewhere on your Bucket List?  I'll bet it's been a long time.  For some of you, it's been never.  That's when.

You can't blame anyone else for stealing your freedom but yourself.  And the reason you can blame yourself is because you have options.  You're just not DOING the options.  And when you don't DO the options, you get exactly nowhere!

And for students of mine like this, I can't help you.  You can't even help yourself.  And I'm not sure anyone can help you either until you DECIDE to get off your ass and actually start WORKING some type of realistic plan that can get you the life of financial freedom that you've been seeking all of these years...or decades.

I'm doing my LAST EVER Money Funnel Event in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 13th & 14th (and the 15th is a bonus workshop day for Platinum VIP only).  The deal for this event is ending on Monday.  Then you'll get to pay a higher price PLUS lose out on the $497 Beverly Hills Event Videos that I'll be sending to you for F*R*E*E for those who register for Vegas by the close of business on Monday.  CLICK HERE or visit www.MonicaMain.com/Vegas_Offer to get the deal before it's too late.

What's so weird to me is that I have a cross-section of students who whine and complain about how they really want to start making some significant dollar amounts but yet they're not willing to learn how.  They're just waiting for that Publisher's Clearing House van to come whipping around the corner to bring them their $7,000-a-Week-for-Life check.  Outside of waiting around, they're willing to do nothing.  And when you're willing to do nothing, you'll get exactly that.  Nothing!

Why is this my last Money Funnel Event?  Because these events are very difficult for me to pull off.  They require a lot of energy on my part.  But here's the REAL reason:  I create too much competition by sharing too many of my exact business plans and blueprints because some of my students actually get out there and start doing the stuff I teach.  Then I make less money and have to find another cutting-edge money-making opportunity.  And I'm kind of tired of doing that.

What's cool about the Money Funnels I've created for myself is that they're working.  And very well at that!  So, my own strategies that I teach are working so well to the point where I can really slow down on some of the parts of my business that is draining my energy including trainings and some of the investments I've been working on that I really don't care for too much.  This Money Funnel Business stuff gives me options where I can work less, think less, and scale up to make MUCH MORE MONEY.  So...why do anything else, right?

P.S.  By registering for this last-ever Money Funnel event in Vegas, you'll be getting the Beverly Hills Event Videos for F*R*E*E.  This is a $497 value which could be worth millions to you just in the strategies that were taught during that event from Total Success Transformation Strategies to a very unique online money-making strategy that I've NEVER talked about before...that will BLOW YOUR MIND!  Don't miss out on this.  The deadline for this offer is on Monday, March 21st at 5pm Pacific Time.  CLICK HERE NOW!

When my mom passed away (it'll be 11 years in July), I was beyond irritated that she decided I wasn't worthy to leave half of her life insurance policy to.  She left most of the money to my brother.  Of course, he pissed it away in less than 8 months.  Then he was back exactly where he started...penniless and living off government welfare where he was up until my mom's death and since the money burned a hole in his pocket...10 years later.  In fact, his last text to me about 2 months ago was asking me to buy him a house because...well, you know how it is with deadbeat family members.  I somehow "owe" him since I'm successful and he's not.  I'm sure he thinks it's purely by "luck" and having nothing to do with aggressively getting off my ass each and every day to propel myself forward into success but rather that money must float down into my backyard in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping or something.  It's amazing how idiots actually think.

My mom used to call me "the goose that lays the golden egg."  Since her death and the disbursement of her assets (namely a couple of life insurance policies), I've speculated as to why she didn't leave me more and I always came back to the same thought: she always knew I could take care of myself.  And on the flip side, she knew that my brother couldn't (or rather wouldn't) take care of himself.

Truth be told, I'd rather be the goose that lays the golden egg than reliant on a check from anyone, whether that would be freebies from the government system or being a Paycheck Charlie in some life-robbing, soul-sucking job somewhere.

I have a way you can be that goose...and not the kind that gets cooked either.  We're talking about creating a "scale-able" operation from super small (as in the corner of your basement or spare room on a card table with a laptop) to a huge multi-million-dollar company with multiple loading docs doing worldwide product distribution.  The cool thing is that YOU get to choose how small or large you want your business to be.  Small, as in $20,000 a month in profits? Or large $2,000,000 a month in profits?  Or somewhere in between.  Your choice.

So, how does this work?  How do you learn how to do all of this?

I have a set of videos to show you.  I also want you to attend my last Money Funnel Event in Las Vegas on May 13th & 14th (with a half-day bonus workshop on May 15th for Platinum VIP).  And there's a reason this is my last money funnel event...and my last large-venue event for awhile.  You see, I'm doing the money funnel "stuff" and it's a pretty brainless activity for the amount of money that's made.  So...why continue over-straining my brain cells doing larger events when I don't have to and don't want to anymore?  (Exactly.)  I'd rather focus on highly profitable money funnel stuff selling products than writing courses, speaking at events, doing trainings, and all of the other laborious elements that go along with running a success training empire.

This means that in the future I'm going to concentrate on very small events with only a max of couple dozen people and less (in many cases) who want more one-on-one training.  This would be on more of a "mastermind" level and only for the truly serious who have well moved beyond the tire-kicker category.  These are my students who are actively purchasing real estate (and have at least one building under their belt) and who have active Aggressive Income Businesses (even if it's a small basement money funnel enterprise).  It's easier for me to direct and focus those who are already doing aggressive and passive income businesses rather than trying to get a newbie on track from scratch. It's equivalent to the difference between teaching someone how to change the DNS of their domain versus trying to teach someone how to turn on their laptop and connect to wireless Internet service.  You can probably guess which I'd rather NOT be working with.

In preparation of all of this, I'm acquiring more office/warehouse space so I can work with larger training groups in my office.  I was so impressed with the high quality and sharpness of the students that I was working with in my in-office events that I quickly became addicted to wanting to do more of these smaller workshop-type trainings.  I'm hoping you'll be a part of these soon.

So, what does this mean for you?  This means that since I'm doing my last money funnel event in Vegas in May, you absolutely need to be part of this rare cutting-edge training.  This will get you into a very profitable and highly successful money funnel business within just a couple of weeks after you fully understand what to do.

CLICK HERE or got to www.monicamain.com/vegas_offer to register right now.  I still have the offer on the table where you can get my Beverly Hills Event videos for F*R*E*E when you register for the Vegas event.

I get so sick of these newscasts that focus on the "poor white American" (usually some old man in a remote border city) who can't get a job because the illegals are stealing all the decent means of employment.

Please.

As far as I can tell living in a region of the country that has A LOT of immigrants here (a little-known place called southern California...you may have heard of it), most of these "sought-after jobs" are those of strawberry-picking, lawn-mowing, toilet-scrubbing, and a variety of other jobs that many of these complaining Americans would never soil their precious hands to do in the first place.  It's so much easier to blame somebody else for being apathetic, lazy and pitiful but...IT SUCKS.  And I get tired of hearing it.

If you have a life you don't like, change it already.  Stop blaming everybody else.  YOU are the one to blame.  Yeah, that sucks to hear it.  Hard pill to swallow sometimes but there's good news in it.  It means that since YOU are to blame, YOU can easily turn it around.  You can completely turn your financial life around in 24 hours just by understanding a business idea and doing a "quick implementation" of it.

Let me give you an example...

On the lateral part of Day One of my recent Beverly Hills Money Funnel Seminar Event, I jumped right in to showing my students a VERY SIMPLE and easy-to-implement money-making strategy that, I have to admit, almost didn't make the cut on presentations for this event.  But...I have to also admit that out of ALL of the Aggressive Income Strategies I've EVER presented, this has to be the EASIEST money-making strategy I've ever shown my students.  It requires NO product, NO product fulfillment, NO customer service, NO legal liability and technically you don't even need a website at all (even though it's not recommended you do it this way but it's definitely doable AND profitable even if you don't).

So...what IS it?

You'll have to get the videos to check it out.  Yes, the videos of the Beverly Hills Money Funnel Event have JUST ARRIVED in my office and are ready to go for shipment (for those of you who have been waiting patiently).  And my St. Paddy's Day Blow Out is on and crackin'.

Here's the deal:

For those of you who want to register for my LAST EVER and VERY DIFFERENT Vegas Money Funnel Event for May 13th & 14th (and the 15th for Platinum ONLY), you can get the Beverly Hills Event videos for F*R*E*E!!

Or...you can just get the Beverly Hills Event videos for a discount until this promotion is over with.

Completely up to you.  CLICK HERE or go to www.monicamain.com/vegas_offer to get the deal NOW before it ends!

The cool thing about all of this is that it allows YOU to be in control of your financial future.  How awesome is THAT??

See you at the top!

A long-time student of mine, Paul S., was telling me and my recent Beverly Hills event group of students about how he was able to get rid of a drug dealer out of his new MHP (mobile home park) property he recently acquired.  And he did it in less than a week.  Long story short, he vetted the drug dealer out by asking everyone on the property who the "problem child" tenant was, quickly found out that it was this drug dealer (and bad tenants MUST be removed if you are to keep your tenants while attracting good tenants), and offered him $200 if he'd move out by the weekend.  He agreed.  And moved out a few days later!

Everybody has a price, apparently.  This guy's price was only $200.  Amazing what you can do with the leverage of MONEY.

No, money doesn't buy happiness but it's a whole hell of a lot easier to have money than to be broke.

And I hope you have a higher price tag on yourself than $200.

One other thing that Paul and I briefly discussed is how he's really doing it.  He's doing the business.  Many of my students show up event to event, almost as "groupies" in a way.  And then they end up doing nothing.  They use me as a crutch, never want me to retire because they know I always delivery the goods, but what about THEM delivering the goods?  To themselves?  In the form of actually getting off their asses and working the business??

Not that hard to do, folks!!

Paul was a little surprised that more people aren't doing the stuff I teach because he knows how easy it is.  And we're talking real estate stuff which is MUCH HARDER to do than the money funnel stuff.    Paul came to my money funnel event in Beverly Hills because he is now understanding, as a successful real estate investor himself, how much more difficult it's getting to do creative financing deals anymore.  So, he'll be starting a money funnel business for that Aggressive Income he needs to inject some cash into these properties as down payments so he can acquire these cash flowing properties now.

The coolest thing about the Beverly Hills event (aside from the puffer fish in the saltwater tank by the elevators) is what I presented at the end of Day One.  And I did this on purpose, too.  I had a few students who didn't see the value in learning about all that "success transformation" stuff I was teaching on Day One so they thought they'd float in on the second day to just get to the money-making stuff.  Little did they know that they had missed THE most profitable strategy that I ended up presenting during the entire event.

And it won't be repeated.  (Sorry!)

You can order the videos though.  For my St. Paddy's Day Blow Out deal, I have 2 options for you:

1)  Sign up to attend the Vegas event on May 13th & 14th (and the 15th for Platinum ONLY) and you'll get these Beverly Hills videos for F*R*E*E.  CLICK HERE for the deal.

Or...

2)  Just get the videos without signing up for the Vegas event.  CLICK HERE.

Now, with Vegas, this event will be different.  First of all, it'll be my LAST EVER Money Funnel event.  But Vegas will be about using the money funnels for BOTH consumer-direct AND distribution profits...for those of you interested in making millions of dollars by seeing your products in stores nationwide.  (And using the ease of the money funnel to get wholesalers and distributors to carry your product INSTEAD of cold-calling, going to trade shows, and doing the "typical" groundwork to get your products out there.)  This is where the big money is, folks!

I'll also be talking about very PRODUCT SPECIFIC money funnels for the consumer-direct side by using online-only marketing strategies.  (You can always expand out to use offline-to-online marketing strategies later on.)  In the Beverly Hills event, I combined both online and offline strategies.  This time, we'll be concentrating almost exclusively on online strategies with only a brief mention of the types of offline strategies available to you.  About 99% of the time, we'll be focusing on the very-easy-to-implement online marketing strategies to drive prospects into your funnels.

P.S.  All Money Funnel Systems HAVE BEEN SHIPPED.  If you didn't get yours yet and you ordered one, you'll get it lickety-split.  Just wait.  Be patient.  I worked hard on this course and it's my best one yet, by far.  So, it's well worth the wait.  ;-)

It's rare that I have a real connection with any type of animal except for the ones that live in my immediate household.  And a fish, well...that doesn't even fall into the "animal" category at all. Yet during each of my breaks at the Beverly Hills event, I would wearily walk up to the elevators, find myself waiting and staring into this massively large and gorgeous saltwater fish tank that was right there, and began to fixate on this one fish in there.

He's a puffer fish of some kind, as I was told by the guy feeding the fish one day. This dude loves shrimp and almost took the guy's fingers off when he was eating it.  Yes, this puffer dude has some heavy-duty teeth, enough to do some major damage. 

I've been a faithful subscriber of LoopNet.com since around 2007 or so.  And it seems that with each passing year, their fees get higher and higher while offering the same crappy service, even changing their platform altogether a few weeks back to make it more difficult to use.

So, about 2 weeks ago they sent me a little notice saying that they were jacking up my quarterly fees.  Again.  This would be the third time in the last couple of years.  "But don't worry," they went on.  "There will be no interruption of your service.  We'll just automatically (screw) bill you at the higher rate on your renewal date."

Nope.  I went into the LoopNet.com system and canceled my renewal.  So, effective on the 26th of March, I'll no longer be a Premium LoopNet subscriber.  Somehow it doesn't seem worth the $400 plus per month for their less-than-helpful platform.

Further, when talking to an ad rep at LoopNet recently, I was told that they're no longer allowing for national and international advertisers to place header banners on their websites.  They're going more with "regional" and "local" brokers now.  Hmmm.  Wonder how that's going to work out for them in the long haul?

So, if you have stock in LoopNet.com (who also owns CoStar.com), maybe now is the time to dump it.  After all, I'm pretty certain that they're quickly becoming the next DotCom horror story in the making.  When you're losing your Premium subscribers left and right while disallowing larger companies to advertise...this would be a recipe for bankruptcy if I've ever seen it.  All they'll have left to pay their Premium Service fees are a bunch of brokers and listing agents.  And if subscribers (investors) can't see ALL of the listings (because they're only "standard" subscribers), they'll just go elsewhere...

Like www.CityFeet.com.  Yes, that's right.  A completely FR*EE website that you don't have to pay over $400 a month to see all the good listings.  Of course, there's a lot you can't do with this service but here's why I don't care anymore...

I started to think about this Premium LoopNet.com thing.  Truth be told, I haven't really been using it at all.  I generally hook up with a listing agent in any specific farming area I'm focusing on for my real estate transactions and investments so...they then start bringing me deals and I don't do my own online MLS property research anymore.  I use my agent to get me all the property details and even do title pulls when needed.  I guess I've kept LoopNet all of these years "just in case" I needed to look for something as some type of false and useless (and EXPENSIVE) crutch.

But as it stands now, f*** them.  Not only is their pricing outrageous (a monthly car payment per month) but their customer service is rude every time you call.  They think they're God's gift to the MLS world.  So let them sink in the quicksand abyss of destitution and devastation they created for themselves and STOP USING THEIR SERVICE.  It's not worth it.

One more thing, years ago they used to give my students discounts for me sending them there.  Then they got to big for their britches.  Probably thinking...who is this Monica Main bitch anyway?!  Well, big enough to tell over 100,000 students of mine that they should cancel their LoopNet service.  Immediately.  Like today.  The last payment you made to LoopNet should be your last payment to them...FOREVER.

There you go, LoopNet.com.  Screwballs.  Keep sinking.  Then someone will be able to buy your company for pennies on the dollar.  Hopefully by Christmas.  Maybe then they'll be put back together as the "grass roots" mom-and-pop company they USED to be while coming back down to reality-land on their subscriber fees.

Basic Business 101, folks.  You can't bite BOTH the hands that feed you and expect to stay in business.  They're screwing their subscribers AND their advertisers.  So...basic math says that can only last so long before the empire inevitably comes crashing down.

Here's another reason why I don't care about LoopNet.com.  When you are putting cash into deals, you're not concerned about "creative financing" methods.  This means that I no longer care about finding the seller's LLC name and mailing address to send a proposal.  The deal is cut-and-dried.  I put 20% cash into an apartment building.  And...that's it.  The real estate agent executes most of the deal.  I just write a freaking check and do some due diligence. Neither of which LoopNet.com assists me with.

This is where YOU need to be with all this.  Another reality of today's real estate market, you need CASH to compete with your other investors now.  You need CASH for your down payment of at least 20% to be able to make your deal cash flow since performing properties are commanding top dollar.  That's the cold hard reality of investing in passive income real estate in 2016.  Told ya it would end up this way IF you were listening to me for the past few years.

So, what do you do now?

You get that cash rolling in.  That's what you do.  And you do it as fast as humanly possible.

Most of you know that I just got back from my Beverly Hills event.  My voice is still hoarse and I'm tired as hell right now.  I'm seconds away from lying on my desk and taking a 5-hour nap.  But before I tell you all that, I have to tell you how freaking awesome the event turned out to be.  So...hours before I was supposed to start driving down to the Beverly Hilton, I decided to do one more presentation on this amazing, incredibly profitable method of money funnel marketing that you can do without a product, without doing any product fulfillment, without dealing with product liability factors (including legal issues), and without doing a lick of customer service for the product.  You don't even need a website.

So, for all of you who have been waiting for the Money Funnel System, THIS is what the hold up is.  I briefly explain this new strategy on page 45 (and on) on this killer, kick-ass, game-changing new strategy.  And then I was thinking..."Well, why not present it at Beverly Hills?"  Except I had NO SLIDES and NO TIME to do the slides and NO SLOT in which to present this new information.

But...I shortened my Success Transformation and started presenting this absolutely AMAZING strategy at the end of Day One of the event.

All on video, of course.  And this strategy ALONE is worth anywhere from $100 to $5,000 A DAY to you, depending on how small or large you'd like this "operation" to be because, remember, this isn't selling your own product AT ALL.  So there's no "nothin'" to make this strategy work EXCEPT FOR ONE THING you must do.  And this is thoroughly outlined in my last presentation of the day on Day One of my Beverly Hills Event.

Even more awesome yet, I'm doing ONE LAST Money Funnel Event EVER in Las Vegas on May 13th and 14th (and the 15th if you're Platinum) to include both consumer-direct AND distribution money funnel stuff.  This is if you want the BIG TIME, people.  If you're looking to hit it big with a multi-million-dollar product line to hit stores nationwide with distributors and wholesalers, you CANNOT miss this event.  It will NOT be repeated.

Okay, so what's the DEAL then?  For St. Paddy's Day...I'll be offering you these kick-ass Beverly Hills event videos for F*R*E*E if you register for the Vegas event at the lowest early-bird discount price I'll be offering for this event (before it goes up, soon!).

Why is it imperative that you get these Beverly Hills videos?  Because that opportunity I was just talking about that was presented on Day One of the event...that precise money-making opportunity WON'T be discussed in Vegas.  So, if you want to know what it is, you MUST get the videos of the event I just finished.

And if you don't want to register for Vegas but you want the videos, you can do that too.  I'll get you the videos, the event materials, and 3 money funnel template clones.  Because that's how awesome I am.

CLICK HERE or go to www.MonicaMain.com/Vegas_Offer to take me up on this offer.  Yes, this is a kick-ass offer.  No, I've never offered anything REMOTELY close to how powerful this is.  This can and will change your life if you let it.

See you at the top!

Your mentor,

Monica Main

P.S.  Just to give you an idea of just how awesome this strategy is...never mind.  You'll just have to see the videos.  Remember, it's the presentation at the end of Day One.

P.P.S.  For those who ordered the Money Funnel System, we have them in our office now.  They're being packaged up as I type this and they're all going out this week.  Sorry for the delay but there's an entire section (starting on page 45) that I did NOT want to miss out on giving you because it's a game-changer.  So, forgive me for being late on this but it WILL be worth your wait.  Trust me!!  ;-)

We're In Another Haunted Office and a Ghost Ate My Fish...See Pic as PROOF!!

Something very weird is going on.  We had our fish, Spot, who was our new office mascot.  Two weeks ago he was found in the filter.  Dead.  I figured it was a fluke that he died that way so I had Rose go to the pet store to get a new fish.  She named him Mr. Krabs since she knows my daughter likes Spongebob (and maybe I remind her of Mr. Krabs...who knows?)

Apparently one of my last email blasts ruffled a couple of feathers.  Actually, just ONE set of feathers to be exact.  I've noticed that people in general who know that they themselves are deadbeats and losers, insistent on blaming the world around them for the lack of effort they are putting forth in their own lives, they really get "offended" when I call them out on the obvious.  That their lack of success is, in fact, their fault.  Not many people like to take responsibility for their own failures, as it's just easier to blame the government, or this guy, or that guy, or their spouse, or their kids, or everyone else but the person they see in the mirror.  If you're one of these people who is insistent on refusing to take personal responsibility to ANY degree about how to better your life, I don't want you reading my emails anymore.  (There's a link at the bottom where you can kindly remove yourself off my email blast list right now.)

Such a woman was this idiot named Marina.  She sent me an email that looked like it was written by a half-illiterate elementary school child claiming that I don't know what it's like to be poor and starving and this and that.  Blah, blah, blah.  In which I replied:  Yes, I went without many meals as a child.  So what?  I survived.  Yes, we went without utilities as a child when many times basic services were shut off for weeks on end including water and gas.  But I made it through.  Yes, we were even homeless for a bit.  Again, all water under the bridge.  The KEY POINT is that don't see me bitching or complaining or needlessly rehashing these memories because I grabbed myself up by my bootstraps (with the help of NO ONE, mind you) and went on to become successful on my own.  No excuses.  Boot camp style, my friend.  You find the opportunities.  You find the "loopholes" and study how success can be a part of your life.  And you take action to make it happen.  Very simple.  Furthermore, I've come to understand that it's our difficult times in life -- even our most desperate times -- that build us as spirits/souls.  Without pressure and stress, a diamond cannot be formed.  The best of who you are is defined by the most difficult periods of your life and how you got through, NOT by the happy-happy-joy-joy periods.  And we each can choose how to look at it.  Boo-hoo about it?  Or USE the experiences to make us better?  Your choice, my choice, all of our choices.  I choose to use it and build on it for success, prosperity, and happiness.

Difference between myself and a loser like Marina is that I don't compile and brainwash myself with a bunch of excuses as to why it's everyone else's fault, feeding myself a daily waterfall of affirmations as to why everything is so bad for me without at least considering that there are other more positive possibilities.  I simply move forward, use whatever tools I have to forge ahead, and I make things happen in my own life.  People like Marina, well, they're happy being miserable, sitting in a corner crying all day about how it's everyone else's fault as to why she's too lazy to get off her pitiful ass to make things happen for herself.  Even worse, she's blaming everyone else as to why banks won't give her money and on and on.  I can only imagine what the communication looks like when she's trying to babble on to a banker or other financial professional the way she talks and writes, like a kindergartner.  Then wonders why nobody wants to give her a loan.  How about educating herself to come off as a professional?  How about figuring out HOW to get the money for deals or HOW to generate more income instead of bitching and complaining that it's everyone else's fault for her own incompetence?  Oh, no!  Not for Marina, of course.

She went on to say that I know nothing about identity theft.  Wrong again, Marina.  My entire credit was compromised by my first husband after he opened up several very large credit accounts in my name and then left me with the bill. It cost me a personal bankruptcy that took 10 years for me to sort through.  Again, I don't sit around boo-hooing about it.  I get my ass into gear and do something about it!

I think she was "offended" because I used the word FEAR a lot.  So, maybe it's not fear that's the case for Marina.  Maybe it's just laziness.  Maybe she's just apathetic.  Has she ever thought of that?  No, of course not.  Again, just easier to BLAME everybody else.  Blame Obama while you're at it.  After all, he's GOT to be held accountable as to why Marina can't peel her lazy pitiful ass off the couch every day to DO something productive other than whining.  In which case, she'll never get anywhere, guaranteed.  I've learned how to read people pretty good.  And I know when certain someones should just give up and not bother trying to do anything because there is just too much negativity that they're not willing to let go.  So, for someone like Marina, I recommend that she just give up now.  Don't invest in any programs, seminars, or other materials.  She'll find something wrong with all of it even before she tries anything.  Best to just stay glued to that couch, continue watching Maury Povich, and wonder in great suspense if that DNA test will prove that the "mo-fo" on TV is really her baby-daddy.

For me, I know where I'll be in a few months from now, a year from now, and even 5 years from now.  She'll be exactly where she is now.  Still pitiful, apathetic, blaming everyone else, and wondering why her life still sucks so bad because she never shut off the negativity valve long enough to see opportunities and possibilities all around us AT ALL TIMES...even moving THROUGH us every second of every day!

So...say you're kind of like Marina and you (ideally and hopefully) don't want to be anymore.  It's a choice.  Choose NOT to be like her.  But I'll make it real easy on you by telling you HOW to not be like her.  Start OPENING YOUR EYES to what's going on out there in the world.  CHOOSE to focus on the positive instead of falling into the nightly news negativity abyss each day for hours on end.

Here's an assignment for you:

1)  Stop watching the news in ALL FORMS for 7 solid days.  This includes avoiding Yahoo! News, MSNBC, your nightly news, whatever.  You get the point, I hope.

2)  Start noticing things around you.  Notice ALL of the positive, especially when it comes to wealth.  NOTICE the guy driving the new Porsche, or the lady in that hot red Mercedes-Benz convertible.  NOTICE.  Then listen to what you are saying to yourself.  Are you grumbling about why you don't have that?  Are you assuming they were born into wealth or stole the money?  Then make a CHOICE to switch your thinking and say out loud, "If he can have that, I can have that too."  Or, "If she can drive that car, I can certainly find a way to make the money to drive that too."  Again, say it OUT LOUD, even a few times, so you can start wiring that brain of yours.

3)  Watch nothing negative before bedtime.  This includes 48-Hours, Dateline, crime shows or horror movies.

4)  Right before you fall asleep, ask how you can achieve certain things you're looking to achieve.  For example, you might say, "How can I generate an extra $20,000 a month net in income?  What ways are there that can allow me to do this?"  Then let it go.   Keep repeating this night after night until you receive an answer.  You'll have your answer in a couple of days or less!

5)  When you get your answer, move on it.  Start creating and working a doable action plan.  Don't let your mind talk you out of it.  Keep forging ahead yet stay flexible for new ideas.  You're usually shown new creative ways to get things done when you stay open.  Keep working on your plan.  Do at least one thing each day to complete your plan.

We can all choose to make this shift or we can choose to make excuses while blaming the world around us.  In all reality, we ARE our world.  We ARE our universe.  And you can make it anything you want.  You can choose Marina's universe.  Or you can choose to create something completely different.

Your choice, my friend.

See you at the top!

A lot of my students don't realize the "behind the scenes" of Monica Main.

So, I'm going to let you in on some personal things that have been going on with me so that you'll understand how my personal trials and tribulations can help you.

In 2010, I went through a financially difficult divorce.  It would be my second divorce but wiped me out financially.  It cost me over $7 million in property and we're not including the cash which was painfully substantial.  That's another story which makes me want to puke when I whip out the calculator so...let's not go there.  But it was costly as all hell.  A big part of me feels that I'm still recovering.

But why did I go through a divorce?  After all, sucking it up and pretending that everything was okay would have been cheaper.  Throwing his ass into a sewer tank at one of my MHPs, letting the elements eat up his body would have been preferred.  But I believe karma is a bitch so I don't harm others unless they are harming me.  That's my personal motto.

At this time, my daughter wasn't even 2 years old yet.  Yes, I know.  That Dr. Laura freak will tell everybody to stay married when they have kids, no matter how miserable, abusive, or shitty the marriage is.  Yes, stay for the children's sake.  In which my reply is, "Shut up, bitch. When you're in a shitty marriage, it's BAD for the kids, you quack.  That's worse than giving then a HAPPY single-parent household.  And where did you get your degree anyway?  The school of Cracker-Jack Quack-Atics"?

Rewind a little more in life, who I am as a person today is a person who was chiseled out of a block of stone from the roughest of beginnings.  Granted, my beginnings weren't as rough as many people.  Maybe you had a tougher upbringing than I did.  If you did, congratulations.  It was good for you.  Thick skin, an I-don't-give-a-shit attitude, risk-taker personality, all good for your success.  I look at kids and even younger adults today with their "I'm-so-offended-because-somebody-said-this-or-that-to-somebody-else" belief systems...WTF, I'm thinking. "Grow a pair," I say, "Because you're gonna need some as life gets more and more complicated for ALL of us as years roll on here."

I'd love to tell people that I had no opportunities growing up.  That was a lie.  But for a long time I actually believed that.  Maybe you do too and that's the type of thinking that you need to quickly discard otherwise it'll continue ruining your abilities to create success and wealth for yourself.  Seriously.  Let the past go, move forward.  Quickly.  Otherwise the past will sink you like an anvil tied around your neck in a pond of quicksand.  You see, this is what my useless brother does.  Blames everybody including our parents STILL, the government, even ME for why he's such an alcoholic welfare-dependent loser.  And until he starts taking FULL RESPONSIBILITY for his own life (even things that can be perceived as "not" his fault), he'll actually start seeing some possibility and potential.  But that day will never come because it's too late for him.  He'll be 40 in June and he's so dead set AGAINST any other type of thinking.  This is why I don't communicate with him and I haven't seen him in almost a year.  I won't surround myself with losers like that, even (and especially) if it's family.  Yes, you can choose your friends.  Even better, you can choose to dump your family too if they don't line up with what you want for yourself, especially those who bring you down.

No matter how old you are, I'm convinced that you can change your mind about anything.  You just have to FIRST be open to other possibilities THEN you can move forward.  Until then, you'll be stuck in your old patterns of thinking and thus your current life will never change.

Here's the way I see it, compared to the millions of people who are fighting just to come to the United States for ANY opportunity (and may take a long time to get here), I had a ton of opportunity starting off.  It could have been worse.  I could have been born in a third-world country, struggling to get to America, swimming across a river to get here against all odds, maybe getting shot at the border.  And if I made it, what would I do when I got here?  I'd have to learn a foreign (and difficult) language in a strange culture full of judgmental Americans who want nothing more than me to return to my foreign country.  Then I'd have to climb up the ladder.  How do I get a job with no papers?  What are my opportunities then?

Yet people have done it.  A lot of people have come to this country against all odds as explained above and have made it, even become multi-millionaires.  It's because they're able to keep their eye on the prize.  Time remains of the essence as the struggle their up against each day weighs heavily into their spirit, forcing them to grow upward every moment of every day.  Because once they stop growing upward toward their goals, they instantly get crushed by everything around them.  And they can't let that happen.  So they steadfastly keep pushing for their goals and dreams.  And THAT is why they make it.  Not because of "luck" or any other reason some lazy-ass may think is the result of the success.  It's because of the constant hustle and drive that pushes anyone toward and into their dreams.  Luck has nothing to do with it, people!

So, if you think there is "no opportunity" for you, what the f*** are you talking about?  Just the mere fact that you can READ THIS EMAIL means that the sky's the limit for you, my friend.  So, stop talking yourself out of giving yourself the life that you've always wanted.  Stop it right now.  Time to move forward...and fast!!

Back to my divorce, because this IS relevant, believe it or not.

One spring morning (in 2010), knowing that I had been in a miserable marriage for too many years, I finally asked myself 2 very important questions:

1)  If my mom were still alive, what would SHE tell me about what I should do about this marriage?

No answer came to me.  So...next question:

2)  What would I tell my daughter if she were in the same situation, dealing with an emotionally/mentally abusive f***-tard deadbeat who refused to get a job for the past near-seven years?

Answer:  Dump the piece of shit...TODAY!  Not a moment to waste!  Because you're too good for him, darlin'.

By late that same morning, I was already sitting in the office of my divorce attorney, someone who I didn't know even existed the day before.

Children learn by what you do, NOT by what you tell them to do.  I wanted my daughter to grow up the strong woman I've been able to chisel out for myself, out of that raw block of stone.  Some of what I've become was weather erosion from life circumstance which has also molded me into who I am today.  This is what tragedy and "bad things" do to you.  All for the better good, we would all hope anyway.  But one thing I was intent on her NOT learning was that it was acceptable to drag a deadbeat guy through the mud like a 2-ton log, taking care of him as if he deserved a free ride in life.  (Damn lazy California boys.)  I wanted her to learn from a self-reliant powerful woman -- even if I was to become a single-mom to pull it off -- and that would carry a powerful built-in brain-wired education for her.  She'd learn by seeing what Mommy does, not what Mommy tells her to do.  She'd see a strong successful entrepreneurial woman, not an enabler of a weak piece-of-shit deadbeat guy.

At the age of 7 1/2 now, she's already showing signs that this in-advert education is paying off.  She's already in the midst of starting her first business.  I didn't get bit by the entrepreneur bug till I was in junior high school.  She's not even 8 and she's already named a new business both her and myself will be starting sometime this spring.  I also have a mantra with my daughter when she starts to blame people or circumstances.  I nip it in the bud by always telling her, "Stop blaming others.  You need to take personal responsibility."  The other day she started blaming someone else for something but stopped mid-sentence and looked at me.  I smiled, saying nothing.  She's learning, that little one.  She's becoming a strong, self-reliant woman in the making.  All in a single-mom household.  Take that, Dr. Laura, you misguided know-nothing Cracker-Jack hag!

To decide...such a POWERFUL thing.  The word "to decide" essentially means to cut off all other options.  You choose one option.  All others become irrelevant and fall away.  To decide is such a powerful feeling.

Yet most of you decide nothing.  You make no decisions no matter how painful they are.  And this is what's holding you back.  Waffling around between this or that.  Deciding on nothing.  Doing nothing.  And remaining in the SAME PLACE year after year.  This is what's holding you back right now.  Not deciding.  Not doing anything as a result.  And until you DECIDE on something, you won't be successful doing ANYTHING EVER!!  Because after all, there IS NO LUCK!  There's only YOU forging ahead on a strong vision that you've created for yourself.  After you've DECIDED!  It all starts there.  It all starts when you DECIDE.  Nothing can or will happen until you get to that point.

About 6 months into my divorce, Ron Espinoza and I hit it off at a seminar event I was doing in L.A. that fall.  Thinking back now, I was in a vulnerable state which is why I let things go awry.  But it's all good.  It's all part of the lessons that make us stronger.  We were married less than a year later.  Another mistake because I didn't realize until after the fact that he was never going to leave Michigan.  And I wasn't leaving California.  Stale mate.  So, this is where the third divorce came in.  And yes, I've gotten so good at all this divorce stuff that I did all the paperwork myself, saving tons of money in legal fees.  With a pre-nup in place, it was pretty cut-and-dried.  This was, perhaps, my hardest divorce.  Not because of the money (because I lost nothing in this one) but because I felt I had made such a gross error in judgment that could have been avoided.  And because it was such a tumultuous emotional roller coaster, even years later after the divorce was finalized.  Don't get me wrong.  Ron is a fantastic guy.  But the Michigan/California problem should have been more obvious to me and it wasn't.  For that, I believe I failed from a logical-decision point-of-view.

Even after the marriage was over on paper, we still kept dating.  Another decision: going from dating relationship to merely friends/associates and nothing more.

Eureka!  That was it!!  What a freaking AWESOME decision that was.  I felt that was the missing piece I've been needing to finally start feeling whole and okay again.  And this only happened LAST MONTH when I finally made that decision.  Simple decision yet so powerful and life-changing decision it was.  Yes, it seems too simple, right?  But it turned the tables on POWER for me and sometimes it's the simplest decisions that will give you the greatest power.  I went from battling a nightly depression on this issue to feeling extraordinary in every way almost instantly.  And now, for the first time in my adult life, I understand that term "being in a good place" and what that actually means.  Because I can honestly say I'm in a good place right now.  A REALLY good place.

Again, that little thing about DECIDING.  To decide is the hinge that can swing very large doors for you, as it has for me.

To come to these decisions sometimes can be painful as it has been in the illustrations I've given you about my personal life.  But it's a necessary evil, people.  If you don't decide on something, even if it feels uncomfortable, you'll never get anywhere.

Lately I seem to be getting a lot of emails from people who want me to make their decisions for them.  They want me to tell them what type of business they should do or if they should do real estate over my money funnel stuff.  How silly is that?  Why would you want me or anyone else deciding things for you?  In fact, it's already happening.  The government is deciding your fate as we speak.  Marketers are deciding what you should buy to make them rich.  So, I can see how you'd be used to being a sheep having people tell you what to do with your life.  But, time to step up, man up, woman up...time to make some of your own damn decisions otherwise you'll always be a sheep, following this or that and never becoming anything relevant for yourself.

To DECIDE...such a powerful thing, my friend.  When are YOU going to start making some powerful decisions in your life, even if they are uncomfortable but for the better good of YOU??

How about right now!  

I want nothing more than to see you up here with me...up here in this good place I'm finally at.  It's freaking awesome up here.  So, when are you coming up then??

How about today.  And it all starts simply by DECIDING.  So, decide something relevant to your life and your future, which means it needs to be a little more important than what you're having for dinner tonight.  How about what you want to be when you grow up?  That's relevant enough.

See you at the top!

I'm a curmudgeon, I know.  But holidays for me just aren't that fun for me anymore.

Including this one.  Valentine's Day.  Just another commercialized, money-suck holiday that exists just to make people spend tons of money OR feel guilty as hell for not.  And that really sucks.  For most everyone.

What happened to me?

I don't know.  I think as time goes on, I've noticed that I'm losing my overall enthusiasm for life itself.  Or maybe I'm just bored of the same-old, same-old crap.  Who knows?  The older I get, it seems that these holidays are just coming around faster and faster with each passing year that I can't keep up anymore.  Just when I felt I was starting to recover from Christmas, now we have Valentine's Day.  So here we are.  Hopefully you find yourself in a happy place...much happier than where I'm at right now.

I think the main problem with holidays like Valentine's Day (and even holiday events such as your birthday), you're really dependent on someone else to perform to some level that will make you feel special to some degree.  And if they give you a sucky bouquet of flowers, a sucky cake, a sucky gift, or a sucky anything -- or even worse, nothing at all -- your spirits can come crashing down.  And there's nothing worse than having your entire array of emotions riding on the performance of someone else.

And people aren't to be relied on for anything, especially for something as important as having your entire psychological balance at their fingertips.  That's too much power for other people to have over you.

I was just having this discussion with a student of mine the other day about how and why I love business, numbers, and anything else that has a strong logical base to it.  You have something that you'll never get with friends, family, events, parties, etc. which is something called reliability.  Your numbers in business will always produce.  It's like clockwork.  I freaking love it!

For example, I do mailings as one of my main marketing activities, especially when it comes to getting the attention of highly qualified leads to stuff into my Money Funnel.  And I do lots of them.  Lots of mailings, that is.  And I'm making even more money NOW with these mailings than when I was "heavy" into "mail order" back between 2001 and 2004.  Why?  Because the Internet and pressing the EASY button with doing Internet marketing has drastically minimized the competition for me.  People view doing mailings of any kind -- including cheap postcard mailings -- as being "too much money and too much work" so...I get all the leads and they well...don't.

Laziness.  Doesn't pay off much, does it?  Stupidity?  Well, that pays off even less than laziness.

Think about it.  Doesn't it cost MORE per click on Google AdWords if you're paying the highly competitive cost-per-click of $5 or $10 per click than, say, sending out a postcard to people at $0.317 cents each?  Yes, that's how much the standard postcard rate is for an OVERSIZED postcard that commands MAXIMUM attention when it is received by your recipient.  So, yes, that's equivalent to a "click" if you want to compare the two.  And between the printing, mailing list, and postage cost, that's approximately 52 cents per "click" or postcard when everything is said and done.

Try getting 52 cents per click on Google AdWords for any RELEVANT keyword that can make you money.  Good luck.  And no, we're not talking about a keyword tail like "train a parrot to sing course" that you can probably get for 5 cents per click.  Yes, it's cheap.  But no, nobody is typing that in either.

If you're going to make money in this day and age, get off your ass for crying out loud.  Be willing to do more than your Average Joe.  Do some research.  Put in the work.  Set up your business correctly.  Put the time in.  If you don't, then don't you dare expect any kind of beneficial pay out of any kind.

But here's some good news in all of this:  As you know, I've been talking about my Money Funnel stuff a lot lately.  No, you don't have to ONLY do mailings to get people into your funnels.  There is a little-known 100% online method to get people -- and DROVES OF THEM -- into your funnel without doing a lick of offline marketing.  Offline marketing, in case you don't know, would be anything NOT on the Internet such as sending out postcards, advertising in magazines, etc.

So, yes, I've just created the EASY button for you.

Imagine if you're willing to do more.  Add the little-known strategy with one other VERY POWERFUL online marketing strategy (which ISN'T PPC or pay-per-click) and you have a multi-million-dollar Money Funnel business, still without implementing one lick on offline marketing.  So...imagine IF you added offline marketing, too!  How much would you make on top of that??

It's mind-blowing!  Really and truly!!

And THIS is why I love business, numbers, and what I call "new projects" like the Money Funnel.  Unlike people, it's consistent, reliable, and NEVER FAILS if you stick to a very easy-to-do, easy-to-follow, easy-to-implement step-by-step plan!

But as I sort of suggested, this business isn't for everyone.  If you're looking for the Lazy Man's Way to Riches, this ain't it!  You'll have to invest some time and effort into this.  If you aren't willing to do some work, just keep doing what you're doing.  Because anything worthwhile will take some effort.

Many of you know that I finished a very rare and unique 2 1/2 in-office Money Funnel event for only 7 students that will NOT be repeated.  Ever.  And I have the complete video set of this event.

Plus, I have my new Money Funnel System (Course) that is now available.

PLUS, I have a slew of bonuses that I'm offering for my Valentine's/President's Day Blow Out Deal.  You'll be shocked at all the stuff I'm offering BECAUSE this is what I call a "pre-order" discount.  This means that you're ordering right before I get my courses from my printer.  And since I'm not shipping a single course until March 1st to ensure that no one gets an "unfair advantage" over those who are attending my exclusive Beverly Hills Money Funnel Event on March 3rd and 4th, I'm more than making up for this "inconvenience" on your behalf by giving you a ridiculously low price PLUS tons of bonuses on these videos and this new system.

CLICK HERE or go to this link to take a look:  http://www.monicamain.com/the_money_funnel_system

In the meantime, I think I'll go eat some chocolates out of the heart box of See's candy I bought myself last week.  By buying stuff for myself, I can always ensure that I'm never disappointed on even the crappiest of holidays...like this one.

See you at the top!

Monica Main
