Happy Valentine's Day

Good News...and Great News!

Hi there!  I have to tell you that, overall, I have some pretty awesome students and I have to take the time out for a moment of appreciation.

For example, I have a handful of students who send me things during various times of the year including for my birthday in June, for Christmas, and for Valentine's Day.  So, for those of you who are consistently awesome like that, I'd like to say "Thank You" since I evidently forget to express my appreciation when it matters the most.

I feel good today and I don't know why.  This would be the day where people who are generally alone would be depressed.  But this Valentine's Day is awesome for a couple of different reasons:

1)  I'm very close to being "free" of Sh** Marriage #3.  (The actual "freedom date," as determined by the court, is March 15th so I'll be celebrating on that date for sure!)

2)  I actually have a date with the love of my life.  My daughter! (You'll see her picture above at her school Valentine's party!)  And nothing in my life is more important than she is.

So, what's the good news?  I don't know really.  Maybe it's that I feel -- from a personal perspective -- that my life is about to get really awesome.  And fast!

And the great news is that -- since the economy is rapidly progressing in the positive direction -- you are about to see somemajor life changes from a financial perspective in your own life.

It can't get any better than that, right?

"Life is Like a Box of Chocolates..."

Except for one thing, Forrest Gump.  In this box, you DO know which one you're going to get.

What do I mean?

It's like showing up to a roulette table in Vegas with a wad of money, knowing that you can put your chips on any number and you'll win each and every time.

If you read my post yesterday, you'd know what I'm talking about.

My "money spreadsheet" is what I'm talking about.

Take a look at a cropped version of a screenshot and you'll get that "flutter" in your stomach, knowing that your entire financial life is about to change!

Here's a link to a special video with the actual spreadsheets.  CLICK HERE!

Yeah, I know.  I'm awesome for providing you with something so life-changing and powerful for free!

In the meantime, enjoy your Valentine's Day.  Each chocolate.  Sniff flowers.  Eat dinner.  Do what you normally do.  By this time next year, the landscape of your life will be completely different.
:-)

See you at the top!

How One Moment Can Change Everything!

There's something pivotal that happened to me this past weekend and it revolves around the picture (below). 

First of all, to fill you in on this picture, this is a pastel chalk drawing that my daughter who, let me remind you, is 5 1/2 years old, did in her very first art class.

Proud mama?  Yes.

But I'm not just showing off her seemingly innate talent for art at such a young age.  (Because that's pretty freaking good, don't you think?)

No, that piece of art actually opened a door for me in understanding what is truly important...and what isn't.

What is important?  Following your bliss.
What isn't important?  All the crap that you don't want to be doing with your life right now...which you're probably doing right now!

Did You Know...

You're Probably on the Wrong Path in Your Life?

I spend every waking hour making sure my daughter is well prepared for her many years of adulthood ahead of her from financial stability to education to being street smart to understanding how to rely on herself (instead of a man) and everything in between.

I think in a seminar one time I mentioned that my main goal was to provide financial stability for my daughter (and yes, even spoil her) because of a couple of different reasons:

1)  I had nothing growing up and now, to this day, I have "issues" feeling like I deserve anything.  Yes, even still!  Those doubts never go away no matter how successful you become, unfortunately.  (You can take the girl out of the south side of Chicago but you can't take the south side of Chicago out of the girl.)  So, I want her to not only believe but to know (without any doubt) that she deserves whatever she wants in life.  That will go a long way for her.

2)  I want her to have the ability to follow her dreams.  I mentioned in a seminar to my students that none of us really know why we're here until we get rolling with some type of momentum, age a little, grow wise (or not), and live a little.  I also mentioned that, even though I spoil my daughter and have tried my best to make things easy for her, maybe it's so she can spend her life creating watercolor paintings by the sea...or whatever she wants to do.

Little did I know that I truly had a little artist on my hands.

I have this beautiful little spirit that decided to come to me when I though I had a purpose...and realized that I didn't have a life at all before she arrived.

My job is to help guide her.

And I would be a complete liar if I told her that it was okay to waste her life away doing something that she hates...for money.

But telling somebody something is different than demonstratingsomething to someone.  People can only believe you when you show that you are walking the walk instead of just talking about it.

This is why I divorced her deadbeat father.  I couldn't realistically tell the girl to become independent and that it's unacceptable to schlep a deadbeat guy around through life when that's exactly what I was doing with her dad.

So, gone he went.

Now we're at a new crossroads because I have a disparity I must balance for both her and myself.

I love writing.  But I also love being an entrepreneur which includes training/teaching people awesome life-changing stuff.

So...what does one do?

I don't know.  I'll let you know when I fully figure it out.

Here's what I'd like to do:

1)  Spend more time with my daughter while working fewer hours; practice the 80/20 Rule (doing the 20% that gets my my 80% in results instead of the other way around).

2)  Pursue certain dreams that I've had on the back burner for a couple of decades already.  (Time really does fly, doesn't it?)

The good news:  I can do both because I've created the Aggressive Income that I need to do whatever the hell I want to do without being "tied down" anymore.

But...enough about me.  Let's talk about you!

You probably haven't felt like you've been on the "right path" for some time now and it's time for you to make some critical decisions!

Time to change all that.

No, it's not going to be as simple as winning $100 million in the lottery and sailing off into the sunset.  Although I really do wish that was the case.

But it'll be just as good, if not better, because you earned it.

So...

What's the plan to get you on the "right path"?

Well, first of all, I don't know what your "right path" is.  But finding it (and ultimately walking down it) is a whole hell of a lot easier when you're not worried about paying bills and putting food on the table.

Especially when you'll only need to "work" about 20 hours a week to do all that.

The rest of the time can be figuring out what you want to do "when you grow up."

This is what I'm already doing now.  I'm not working my full schedule anymore and I'm "cracking down" on all my dreams that I thought evaded me when it turns out...I've been evading my dreams.

And it's a lot easier to pursue your bliss and dreams when you have boatloads of money coming in while working part time.

This is the key of what I'll be talking about at my Underground Secret Event on March 7th and 8th in Los Angeles.

Basically, in a nutshell, how to finally become free.

Yes, free.

Free of a sh** job.  Free of a sh** life.

Free to live the life you want on your terms without an alarm clock, without freeway traffic, without co-workers that make you fantasize about committing homicide (or maybe you did that on the freeway on your way to work), and without ever having to worry about making another mortgage payment on time again.

That's what I call "free," ladies and gentlemen!

See you at the top!

There's a reason I have a very limited number of people in my personal "inner circle" in my life.  I have very little in common with most people and those who are most "like" minded like me are usually so focused on succeeding in their goals that they don't have time for "fraternizing" with others.  It's too bad, if you think about it.
 
One thing I have noticed about a significant amount of people I've been observing lately.  They are dead set against helping themselves and they are turning a blatant blind eye to their opportunities to freedom that are clearly in front of them.
 
My dad is one of these people.  My brother is another one.  That's just the start of a very long list.
 
I could almost blame it on laziness.  Perhaps that's part of it.  But I'd like to believe that the concept of "being lazy" really isn't a true concept.  I believe everyone is fully capable of having the things they want in life.  But, for some, the carrot stick that dangles in front of them should be changed/altered in order to give someone the right level of motivation needed to get them off their asses.  It is the level of motivation that makes or breaks whether someone pursues what their dreams are.
 
What is your required carrot stick to give you the motivation you need to get off your ass?
 
For some people, it's the notion of having a life of freedom and knowing that it's right around the corner once they decide to take the bull by the horns and go for it.  For others it's being able to support their family without the stress of wondering how to put food on the table.  For somebody else it may be to buy a Lamborghini.
 
What do you want?  Have you figured it out yet?
 
I talked to my dad yesterday and he's the first one in line to bitch about his life and how it's not working out.  And over the last couple of months I've asked him some pretty important questions.
"When do you plan on doing something about it?"
 
Or...
 
"When are you going to choose to do something different?"
 
And with each rather significant question I seem to get a complete lack of response.  This means that answer is quite simple.  "I plan on doing absolutely nothing about my current circumstances except to continue bitching and moaning to any sap-sucker who will listen to me."
 
Even worse, my dad could receive full assistance from me in any capacity to help him create whatever type of financial freedom vehicle he wants.  (The same applies to my brother.)  But he finds some sort of validation and comfort in complaining instead.
 
I love my students because they've at least taken the first step in helping themselves along.  Many of my students have devoured my courses and have attended my seminar events.  That puts them so much further ahead of the "sheep" because they are taking the effort to get off their asses and to do something about their situation.
 
But where do you stand in all this?  Have you gotten off your ass yet?  If not, maybe now it's time.  And if now isn't the time, when will the excuses stop?!
 
I'm in the same boat with you guys and gals out there.  Yes, I've been massively successful when it comes to business and investing.  But unfortunately, I've allowed some other dreams to fall between the cracks.  One of those dreams is creative writing.
 
So, guess what I did, folks?
 
I registered for a couple of 2-day seminar events that are coming up between next weekend and the end of March.  That's the first step in getting the ball rolling: education.  The next step after that is also equally critical: execution.  And the final equally important step: endurance.
 
My 3 "Es":
 
1) Education
2) Execution
3) Endurance (persistence)
 
All 3 are needed to succeed at anything.  Your problem in attaining your goals has to do with missing the mark in one or more of the above "Es."
 
As you can tell, it starts with the educational portion.  But, as you can also tell, it doesn't stop there either.  You can't show up to a seminar event and that, in and of itself, will be responsible for your success without doing anything else.  And, of course, you can educate and execute your plan and yet drop out of the game after a few weeks because you didn't feel you got the results you were looking for (i.e. becoming a multi-millionaire inside of 33 days).
 
So, rather than picking you apart in what you are and aren't doing correctly, let's start with the educational portion.
 
As you know, I'm doing a 2-day Underground Secret Event on Aggressive Income Strategies in Los Angeles on March 7th and 8th.  It'll be my first and last event of its kind where I'll be uncovering step-by-step strategies on how you can grow a very simple shoestring small business into a six- to seven-figure annual income with super easy-to-do business strategies.
 
Sometimes it all starts with just signing up.  That's the first step.  Sign up and get educated.  It's the part that gets the ball rolling.  

Because I will tell you that you cannot bitch or complain about the circumstances in your life anymore since you are 100% responsible for the life you've created to this point.  Instead, start asking yourself, "What do I plan on doing about it then?"
 
And this is the answer to that question.  Click here for more information!

The other day I sent you a long "rambling" post when I originally just intended to tell you one important thing that I discovered about making money online.
 
And I was super excited about it.
 
I still am excited!
 
So, what is this groundbreaking online money-making method that I "started" to tell you about but never quite got around to it this past Friday?
 
As you recall, I started cluing you in on how/why you couldn't make money online with online marketing methods including PPC, banners, blogs, social media, etc.  Well, maybe I didn't tell you the how/why except for the debacle with PPC (especially Google).
 
But that goes for the rest of it, too.
 
No, social media isn't "slapping" people who are marketing like Google (and now Yahoo!) has but, well...hopefully you were never dumb enough to actually believe that being on Facebook and having a Twitter account could make you money.
 
And if you did believe that myth, by now you realize that it was bull****.
 
Nobody is making money with social media except social media sites who are extracting advertising dollars from the fools who think they can strike it rich from social media.
 
For once, before selling anything or marketing any product, you have to think like everyone else.  Think like yourself, the consumer and not yourself, the Internet marketer.
 
When you're on Facebook and somebody sends you an email trying to suck you to some sales website, do you happily click on the link and buy what they're offering or do you delete their disgusting email and do everything you can to block them from that point further?  (I'll vote that you do the latter.)
 
So, why is everything suddenly "different" when you sell a product online?  Why do people respond differently (in your mind) than how you (a real life consumer) would respond?
 
All powerful money-making starts with you being honest with yourself and the product.  "If I were a prospective customer, would I respond?  Would I buy this?  What would I do?"
 
The Internet has progressed just like television had years ago.  People have learned to "mute" the messages that are commercial-like annoyances.
 
People become immune to most Internet messages.  People stop paying attention to the flashy banners off to the side and they quickly delete that annoying "thing" that pops up on the screen when you're trying to get into your email which ranges from a car zooming by to other such nonsense.  You don't even remember what the other nonsense is because you stopped paying attention a long time ago as you quickly reach for your mouse and exercise your ability to find and click on the X to shut the annoyance down.
 
When doing a Google search, have you found yourself looking at the organic search part of the screen and completely ignoring the paid ads off to the right and at the very top?  I know I have.
 
Start realizing that you are like everyone else out there and pay attention to how you respond to things.
 
Enter 2014.
 
Offline meets online.
 
(I just got a vision of Ms. Pacman meeting Pacman on a grainy TV screen from the old Atari game...remember that?  Sorry, I'm majorly dating myself here.)
 
You can have an online presence.  In fact, it's not only recommended but it's required if you're going to make a lot of money with New Wealth Ninja Aggressive Income Strategies! No prospective customer is interested in dialing the phone to get more information or waiting a week or two to get a brochure in the mail.  (That's how the "old days" of marketing worked.  It was called "mail order marketing.")
 
So, you have an online presence (or a website) and you drive traffic to that website using offline methods including print ads, mailers, etc.
 
Simple stuff, folks.
 
Except here's where it gets a little more complicated.
 
You have to choose the right types of offline media to drive your Internet traffic.  (And if you think for a second you'll be simply using online methods to drive traffic, those days are over, Bucko!  Get on board with the realities of the situation so you can make some money here!)
 
It's too costly to do a mailing for most products, unless you do it right.
 
And you can't just have a website sitting in the middle of "Cyberland" like a floating island. You have to have other stuff in there like video, audio, presentations, brochures to download, etc.
 
When I was writing to you the other day about how excited I was about this new massive cash flow money-making project I'm doing, I've just outlined the basic mechanics of what I'm doing above.
What I didn't tell you was what I was selling and why it's so freakin' hot!
 
I'll also be going over actual student case studies of my most successful NWN students, what they are doing to pull in anywhere from $10,000 to upwards of $80,000!  You'll know exactly how they got there and what you can do to copy their success!

Hey...
 
How have you been?
 
Me?
 
Glad you asked.
 
Over the past couple of days I've been extremely excited, partly because I'm in my "padding" phase right now and partly because I just uncovered something amazingly incredible that I'm a little discombobulated right now.  (Say that word 15 times in a row.)
 
No clue what all that means?
 
Let me explain.
 
First, the "padding" thing...
 
Some of you may recall that a couple of years ago when I was doing my whole spiel on how to completely change your life, I showed my students how to get the ball rolling.  It starts with creating an "I quit!" date and, to demonstrate what I was talking about, I had made my "I quit!" date as December 31, 2013 with a 6-month "padding" on the back end to tie up loose ends until right after my 40th birthday.
 
And I'm in that "padding" phase now because, well...you probably figured out that December 31st has already come and gone.
 
I have already quit doing a lot of things for Global Success that you guys and gals haven't quite seen yet.  I've terminated my monthly newsletter.  I stopped doing Apprenticeship groups.  I created my mentorship schedule to conveniently end...guess when?  That's right. At the end of my "padding" period.  (You guys and gals are smart!)
 
I feel like I hit the lottery.  I don't know why.  When you know your entire life is changing and you're about to embark upon some pretty awesome new things, it's pretty exciting.
 
So, what happens to me on June 14th?  Well, I turn 40.  (My mom always said that "life begins at 40," so I'll let you how that turns out for me.) My padding period is supposed to end by June 30th, give or take a few.  (Not sure if that's a few days, weeks or...months.  I hope it's notmonths.  That's not the goal, anyway.)
 
I haven't quite decided what I want to do with my students but I have a strong inkling of what will happen (and it's pretty freakin' exciting which will be revealed later...probably in June). By that time, I believe I'll have taught every element of Aggressive Income Strategies.  Or at least that's the plan.
 
Maybe I'll trot off into the sunset.  Maybe I'll completely close down my office and take a break.  Maybe I'll finish that script I've been writing for Kevin Costner.  Maybe I'll take that trip to Costa Rica that I've been talking about.
 
Who knows?
 
Isn't exciting just not knowing anything??
 
Okay, second...what was that thing I discovered that is so amazing that I threw out a 50-cent word that you had to look up in the dictionary (what is that, right?)...discombobulated?!
 
This is the really exciting part because it can affect you.  (Is it "affect" or "effect"?  I never get that one right.  If anyone has a trick to remembering which is which, let me know.)
 
I came across something in the last week -- literally it's been only a week -- that has really thrown me a loop.  In a really good way, of course.
 
And this "loop" I'm talking about is not only going to be worth millions to me but it could very well be worth millions to you too if you want to know what it is and how to do it.
 
I uncovered (or rather "resurrected") something called direct response marketing that I thought I had buried deep in the holes of the desert years ago.
 
With all the excitement of the Internet whipping around our ears for the past handful of years, I think some of us (me included) "forgot" (or rather "chose to ignore") something called direct response marketing, notably using "offline" marketing methods.
 
A lot changed for me with Internet marketing in the summer of 2010 when Google "slapped" the hell out of me like a badman in a dark alleyway.  This is when the "reality" of Internet marketing started to sink in for me...and how short lived the fallacy really became.  I suspected at the time that it would be but a matter of a couple of years before all of my Internet marketing would come to a grinding halt.
 
And I was right.  It has.
 
But aren't you glad that Monica Main is as smart as she is?
Since I knew it was coming to an end, I adequately prepared myself.  I only "dabbled" in online marketing including banners, PPC with Bing (MSN/Yahoo!), and online postings with no serious intent that it would produce any profits any longer.
 
When Google started slapping the crap out of every online marketer (I was part of the "first wave" of several slappings to come), I moved over to Yahoo! knowing all full well that they would eventually pull the same lame nonsense that Google had.
 
And they did, starting sometime early last year, I believe.  Maybe it was the fall before. Who knows?  Who cares?!  (When you don't take something seriously, you stop paying attention to the details including dates.)
 
How did they "start" the slapping?  Well, they really never slapped me the way Google did because I never gave them the chance.  They started shutting down certain keywords and determined that certain ads had to be changed.  So they would disable my ads until I made the changes.  Then they started telling me I had to change my website content.  So...basically Google all over again.
 
And I refused to give another conglomerate Internet company the satisfaction of kicking me to the curb.  So I left Yahoo! just under a year ago.
 
I no longer believe in Internet marketing.  The gravy train has finally derailed.  And for the suckers out there who haven't figured it out yet, I feel really bad for you because you're about to find yourself laying on the proverbial Internet sidewalk, completely bleeding out with no one to save your life.  And no one to care when you finally die either.
 
So, what does all this mean?
 
A few things are happening here in what I like to call the "Perfect Storm:"
 
1)  Economy is taking off like gangbusters.  And if you don't believe me, pull your head out of the horse trough in your two-horse town and take a look at what's going on in the state leader of economic trends in the United States -- California.  Things are taking off here like you wouldn't believe and has been for the past couple of years.  And, believe it or not, things are starting to even "take off" in crap-holes like Detroit where, during my last visit last month, I noticed there was actually a waiting list (and a lengthy one at that) at an Olive Garden on a Thursday night.  And that has never happened anytime I've been to the Detroit area since I started frequently visiting in late 2010.  So, it's happening, folks!  Strap on that seat belt because you're about to go on an economic boost that will thrill the hell out of you if you...but only if you know what to do to rake in some of that massive windfall of cash that's already starting to rain down!
 
2)  The "new" old is arising from the ash.  Don't you just love how I come up with my own terms as I go along?  So, what the hell is the "new" old?  Glad you asked.  As you know, we're in a New Economy.  Old school though processes like getting a job, climbing the corporate ladder, and retiring on a lofty pension are no longer.  (We knew that for awhile now.)  But...some of the older business ideas and marketing concepts are starting to come back around full circle.  Remember back in the day when you had tons of small business owners who ran, say, their own plumbing business or were a handyman or sold hot dogs on a cart on a street corner?  Some of those concepts are coming back.  People are becoming their own entrepreneurs in a small but powerful way bringing back some of the old school businesses and marketing opportunities.  This means you'll see more smaller mom-and-pop stores as "super stores" like Walmart start to falter (and hopefully die a miserable death).
 
3)  Revitalization in the belief of America.  Especially "Made in America."  People think in "flocks," if you haven't noticed.  At one point, all of our most cutting-edge progresses in recent years including legalizing marijuana (yes!!) were not even a remote possibility by the mass populous decades before.  How do you have the majority of people dead set against something and then as the decades wear away everyone is suddenly on board with the very thing they were so dead against before?  It's weird how people work.  So, back in the 70s, you'll notice that the trend of Asia really started to gain momentum, probably because Americans suddenly had the option of buying a Toyota or Honda and getting many more miles and durability out of their vehicles rather than settling for the buy-every-2-years "disposable" American car models that were available back then.  Now we come back full circle.  American car manufacturers had to compete, started making much better sh** to drive, and meanwhile Toyota decided to cheapen their product, causing people to die.  In 1995 I was a full advocate for Toyota.  Today I wouldn't buy a Toyota if you had a loaded gun pointed at my head.  I think a lot of people have the same beliefs I've come to have about Asian-made products and are really rooting for America to start making stuff here.  New trend that you can make a killing with.
 
It's time for you to line yourself up to take advantage of every opportunity that is coming your direction at whiplash speed right now.  If you don't line yourself up correctly even down to getting your "money net" out there to start collecting on this easy cash then you'll find yourself in that miserable rut you've probably been in for awhile of beating your head against a brick wall with an empty wallet and wondering what you're doing wrong.
 
Since I was rambling on and on, I haven't yet filled you in on what money-making strategy has me so discombobulated!
 
I'll talk about that in a couple of days...in my next post.
 
See you at the top!

Breaking News!
Monica Main in a Midlife Crisis? 
Still??  Maybe...
But She's About to Reveal Some Interesting Money-Making Secrets to You in the Process!!

Since When Does Being Better Mean a "Crisis"?

Okay, so I lied.  A little.

I think I'm just an addict.  Sort of like being on a diet yet waking up in the wee hours of the morning to sneak a cookie out of the cookie jar, just to smack yourself in the head for being such a "loser."  Especially after the 15th cookie when it was supposed to be "only one cookie" you were going to eat.

Yeah...something like that.

Yet this applies to me when it comes to the "bling," especially with cars.

Last month I was talking about how shallow all my neighbors are with their "one-ing up each other" with their toys and nonsense.

And I always thought I was a cut above them...being more "spiritual" and all.  Yet, I guess I'm really not when you think about it.  

Because here I am with my latest purchase as of this past Saturday...but at least I cut back a little.  This car isn't $105,000 like the last one was.  This one isonly $85,000 so...I guess I'm getting a little more "conservative" in my old age, right?

Then I thought about it yesterday.

There's nothing more awesome than being able to celebrate financial freedom.  When I drive these "ultimate driving machines" like this, in addition to not wanting to age (since I'll be 40 this June), I'm actually celebrating how awesome it is to be a single mother, newly divorced (not quite yet but you get the point), and being able to financially sustain myself.  Very well, I might add!

That is something to celebrate, don't you think?

I had some old man try to race me in his black Mercedes SL63 yesterday at the stop light. And I let him go.  He was trying to prove that he had a bigger d*** than me.  And he's right.  He does.  Good for him and his 3-year old Mercedes than does have a bigger engine than my car but...at least I'm still in my 30s and...well, he's not.  He just has a bigger d*** and older engine, in more ways than one.

Loser.

And I have my financial independence, a lovely daughter, a beautiful home, and a life that's only about to begin.  (My mom always told me, "Life begins at 40."  So, we'll see very soon!  I'm excited!!)

Plus, I don't need a man to make my life work, especially from the financial perspective.  That makes me extremely proud of myself.

Why am I going on and on with this egotistical email?

Because, I want to help you get to where I'm at as quickly as possible with my vast knowledge on the subject of making money.  Believe it or not, Grasshopper, it'sunbelievably freaking easy to get the financial freedom you want in life if you're willing to focus a little and put a tiny bit of work into it.

I can't tell you how to make a marriage work because my track record says otherwise.

I can't tell you how to have an awesome family because mine sucks ass.

And I can't tell you how to make friends because I don't have any.

But I can tell you how to make money.  And lots of it.

Because it's the only thing I'm good at.

Now that I think about it, if I had to choose between being broke yet with family and friends vs. making tons of money yet having no one around then I guess I have the best of either available option.  And it's the one I'd choose time and time again.

If you're a woman and you're not coming up to par on where you'd like to be financially, start taking immediate responsibility and take the bull by the horns.  Right now.  Today!

If you're a guy, same applies.  There's no reason to let your life pass by while your psychological manhood diminishes because you can't make the grade financially.  Because I'm here to help you, too.  You just have to be willing to set aside everything you know (or think you know) and start doing something fruitful in your life.  Right now.  Today!

I got an email from a student of mine last week who was going on and on about how he scours the Internet for different business opportunities yet he has nothing to show for the thousands of dollars he's purchased in courses, videos, trainings, etc.  And he continues each day looking at different opportunities, just to find himself in the same boat.  Getting nowhere, and fast!

And that's his problem, folks.

He's buying opportunities.  He's not participating in opportunities.  If you know what I mean.

You can't just buy a bunch of stuff and think the stuff will do something for you while you're watching CSI and Dancing with the Stars.  

You have to put the stuff you learn into action and actually do something with it.

Now, to be 100% fair, I will admit that 99.99% of the stuff out there that you'll buy on the topic of making money is completely bogus.  

It's just designed for them to make money while putting you in a state of confusion.

And that's why I decided to stay in the picture for a short while longer while pressing forward with my highly effective and massively profitable Aggressive Income Strategies for my students.

It's 100% about Aggressive Income Strategies.

And stuff you've probably never been introduced to before.

Now, my students should know what I'm about by now and you should also know that I don't talk about stuff I don't believe in including MLM (network marketing), affiliate Internet marketing, or anything that's either too hard, too confusing, or doesn't work.

Here's what it's all about:

• How to make an untold fortune from information publishing, a topic I've never discussed with my students before!  And this secret can be worth millions each year to you!!
• How to make a killing with simple little Amazon Kindle books...an easy $20,000 per month Kindle publishing formula that will blow your mind!
• How to set up a stand-alone website in lightning speed that can sell anything from health supplements to downloadable ebooks that can earn you $50,000 per month -- and this is a type of website you've probably never considered before!
• How to set up a basic home-based distribution/wholesale business from scratch requiring no employees or overhead that can potentially net you $35,000 a month!
• How to build a "mail order" business from your kitchen table that can make you $20,000 to $80,000 per month and this ain't your typical "mail order" that you've ever seen before!
• How several of my students are cashing in big on both eBay and Amazon...and I'll reveal exactly what each of them are doing so that you can "copy and paste" their success to explode your bank account!
• And much, much more!

Important Life Lesson from a Cat Named Pineapple

Some of you know about this new kitten I have by the name of Pineapple.  It's a boy.  I'm not used to boy kitties.  And he's a kitten.  

Not used to that either. And quite frankly, I think I'm getting a bit too old for the kitten bit.

Although Pineapple is a sweetheart, he's just out of control.  I thought by getting him snipped (if you know what I mean) that would control him a bit but...I was wrong.  It just put a damper on him a tiny bit but he's still wildly out of control.  However, he is only about 6 months old so what else could I expect?!

About 11 years ago, I ended up with 2 kittens by the name of Scooby and Bobo.  They will be 11 in May of this year.  I took it upon myself to make them "house cats" because I was tired of being heartbroken by cats disappearing, being eaten by coyotes, being stolen by neighbors, or just never coming home again.  So, I decided from the get-go that these 2 kittens would never go outside or know the big bad dangerous world known as the "outdoors."

Now that I'm a decade older and wiser, I realize that maybe I've deprived them of some type of life.  Don't get me wrong.  My 2 fat ass cats have no interest in going outside.  But that's because it's too late for them to want an adventure in their senior lives.

With Pineapple, I can't keep him detained if I wanted to.  You see, he tries darting out the door -- any door -- any chance he gets.  A few times he's escaped.  I've had to quickly run after the little dude, scoop him up, and toss him back inside.

Right before my trip to Michigan a couple of weeks ago, I was taking out the trash and the little guy escaped out my side door.  It was nighttime and he ran off into my backyard, into the complete darkness.  So, after mouthing some swear words, I ventured off into the darkness after him.

Suddenly the sprinklers went on with a loud hiss.  It scared him so bad that he jumped back...into the swimming pool.  I heard all of the watery thrashing about and turned on the pool lights to see the little guy struggling to swim in the deep end.  "F***!" I'm thinking.  Here the water was 46 degrees and I was preparing to jump in after the little dude when he actually swam (or thrashed) to the edge and leaped out on his own.  (It was only the day before when my daughter was asking if domestic cats can swim...I guess some of them can as I've recently come to discover.)

I had to shut off the sprinklers, grab a flashlight, and run back out there where I found the drowned-rat looking cat cowering in the bushes.  I swooped him up, took a chest clawing from hell, and brought him back into the house where I used one of my daughter's prized blankets to dry him off.

As I was warming his little body up, I realizes something significant.

Little Pineapple is an adventurer and who am I to keep him detained inside for the rest of his life just because I don't want to be heartbroken by a possible loss?

What is life without going out to experience things, even if it means getting hurt (or dying) in the process?

Pineapple isn't meant to be detained inside.  And I can't possibly keep him housebound for a decade or longer (like I have with my girls)...until he passes away.  He's not built for that type of lifestyle.

And neither is anyone else.

Neither are you.

So, I decided that I'll get him chipped, get an ID tag, and slowly introduce him to the outdoors.  Then one day, I'll let him out until he finds his way back home.  Or not.

He may never find his way back home one day.  If that's the case, I know that he lived the life he wanted to with all the exciting experiences his short life span would have given him.

Have you chosen "safe" over "adventure"?

Have you given up your life for fear of loss, danger, or excessive risk?

Have you stopped living altogether?

When it comes to your children, do you find yourself "protecting" them when maybe you should let them go onto a life of experiences and adventure?

We all aim for comfort and a life of least resistance, if you've noticed.  We get disappointed or upset when things aren't "perfect."

But did you know that you're here on this earthly plane to push through difficulty and adversity to freaking learn something?  And how do you learn anything if everything is cozy and perfect?

I've gotten so many emails from people who think they should be "farther along" in life and yet they feel like they're slipping backwards.

And if you're one of those people, you're only slipping backwards if you're standing still (i.e. doing nothing with your life).  If you're plugging away and moving forward in any positive direction, even if you're not sure it's the right direction, you're not slipping backwards and you're certainly not wasting any time.

Like Pineapple, maybe it's time to make a dash for the door to ultimately open up a whole new world for yourself.  After all, how will you ever know about anything else that can be out there for your life unless goactually get out there and experience something?

Sure, you'll probably fall on your ass a few times.  So what?  I think we always fear much more than what will actually happen to us in reality.  And sometimes what we perceive as failure is pretty damn fun.  If you've ever slipped in a mud puddle, you'd know that making mud pies or having a mud fight is pretty damn fun while you're down there.

When a student emails me and says, "I'm afraid to try.  I'm afraid to get started. What if I fail?"

Well, if you don't get off your dead ass to do something, you've already failed.

And, one more thing...

If you are in a situation (as most American's are) where you need to "transition" from your job to the New Economy opportunities then you are in a situation where you must make the economic change over...or you'll financially perish in the next couple of years.
