The True Measure Of The 'Size' Of A Person Is...

2009-06-19T13:05:24Z

No, not the size of a person “physically”…the size of a person “mentally.”

How can you tell if someone is strong or weak, real or fake, of significance or insignificance??

There’s one way.....

The size of the person is revealed by the size of the problem that stops them.

Nowadays, MANY are getting stopped dead in their tracks and it is revealing MUCH about them. And there will be more casualties to come. Mark my words.

NO person is bigger than the size of the problem that stops them.

And you?

Have you been stopped by anything lately? What sends you to the Doctor with a sniffle? How much does it take to discourage you? Possibly the news about the recession, credit crisis or job losses has you down?

Well, it’s clear that it's "rained" out and many are running for cover as if their lives have been threatened...many are shrinking.

So here’s what Disney World decided to do not long ago…

They decided to have a “Rain Parade.”

When it was proposed, someone said: “what the hell is a rain parade?”

Answer – a parade that takes place when it rains so everybody happily runs around “in the rain” instead of unhappily cowering in doorways wasting their time here waiting for it to end.

Are you with me?

So what do you think about organizing a “Rain Parade” for you and your people right now? Because ya know what? It’s gonna rain a lot harder…

We each get to decide how strong or weak, real or fake, significant or insignificant we will be in the face of it all. Some people always take ownership of “ambition” while others take ownership of “victimhood”…

Which are you?

Looking forward to seeing many of you at the upcoming Private m3 Wealth Group annual conference shortly...

Could ‘IT’ Be Coming To A Theater Near You?

2009-04-17T15:03:38Z

As we all know by know, the G-20 countries met recently in London to discuss a strategy to address the global financial meltdown now underway. They were addressing a lot more than that...

What many do NOT know is that the “private” goal of the G-20 meetings was the “potential” creation of a NEW financial system based upon NEW units of paper or fiat money to help wipe the world’s debt ledgers clean.

Stay with me now...

Many argue that at this point, US debt is so far out of hand that the only way to eliminate it is to devalue existing currencies, mainly the US dollar and “re-inflate” ALL asset prices. “Tampering” with or “changing” the value of paper money is essentially what’s happening here. Yes, cheating - very easy to do nowadays with nothing tangible (like gold) backing currency.

A select few now argue this is a, quiet, coordinated effort to “devalue” ALL the world’s currencies at once (for the first time ever) versus each country doing it alone like in the past. It will create a brand new money system featuring three new currencies – a new dollar, a new euro, and a new pan-Asian currency, thus replacing the dollar as the world’s sole reserve currency. This would diversify reserve currency duties between the three instead of relying on just one, the US dollar.

Many think this will never happen. It’s been “talked” about before. But THIS is America’s 2nd Great Depression. Like it or not. Remember, this is a global meltdown, not just a US meltdown. Expert’s say, “it’s a race to the bottom” to see which country can drive their currency the lowest, to help their current debt balance.

NOW it’s time to profit form it, BIG time. Ready?

Through the process of changing the value of money, debts can be erased while asset prices become artificially “inflated.” Manipulation, yes. But guess what? Manipulation is what got us into this mess, and it’s manipulation that will get us out, as unfortunate as that sounds.

If and when this happens, the price of Gold and Silver don’t just go up…they go through the roof taking out everything in its way. To monetize 50% of American debt, the price of Gold would be $53,000 an ounce! To monetize just 10% of American debt, the price of Gold would be $5,300 an ounce! At this point, 10% would barely make a dent so do the math.

“So keep writing check’s Obama and the boys!” Those in the know are about to become very wealthy as a result.

I sure hope you own Gold and Silver like we’ve been teaching our members "how" at WMI for years now at the m2 and m3 Conferences. If the above is even partially true you stand to make a fortune in the next 5 years...

Money Will Meet You Where You Are At...

2009-04-02T14:43:59Z

All I can say is, what a week at my "6th" m2 Wealth Conference!

You’ve heard all about the 8th m2 Wealth Conference in Lake Tahoe by now, you’ve seen the emails, you’ve read the testimonials (frankly, I’ve never seen testimonials like the ones I am seeing now), and you’ve most likely seen the pictures so I won’t say anymore.

But I will tell you about something…

On my way out of Lake Tahoe, I decided to stop off at the Success Magazine Symposium in Dallas, Texas – an all day event held twice per year on personal development featuring some of the best speakers in the world. True legends on stage. What a pleasure sitting in the audience for once... ;)

The Editor of Success Magazine, Darren Hardy, opened the event with a topic on “money” and our relationship with money. How fitting after leaving a week long “Wealth Conference”, huh?

He said, “If you want to know how someone feels about themselves, take a look at their bank account. Money is the greatest measurement of ones mind set. It is an outcome that is concretely revealing. Money doesn’t lie. It is unemotional and unsympathetic. It is a rigid measurement of value and is easily counted.”

Wow. Let’s just say the audience was frozen at this point.

You’ve heard the term, water seeks it’s own level. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on your level, its true about money...money will meet you where you are at. Stated another way – “your net worth will equal self worth. These are wise truths and for some, stark realities.”

This is why when someone who earns $30k per year and then wins a few million in the lottery will lose it all and be back to making $30k per year again in pretty short order. A study showed that this is the case about 95% of the time. Incredible to me.

Here’s WHY...

Darren went on to say, “The money was far greater than their level of self-perceived value. This disproportionate ‘money to self esteem ratio’ made them very uncomfortable, and at an unconscious level they did whatever they could to try to rebalance that inequity, ultimately finding a way to lose it all, thus returning back to the comfort level of their self worth.”

I know that's a mouth full but this is how it works. This is how it’s always worked. You can only create and maintain the level of wealth that matches your personal development which is why “if you want to have more you first have to become more.”

The great Jim Rohn was patched into the event by phone (he is suffering from a pulmonary disease) to speak to the audience. He’s often said, “If you win a million dollars the first thing you should do is become a millionaire.” Now there's a thought... ;)

The event focused on how one should learn the character, habits, disciplines and attitudes of a Millionaire. And if you want to make a million dollars, YOU have to develop the character, habits, disciplines and attitudes of a Millionaire first. Seems simple enough, yet many miss it. They try to “do” before they “be.” You must “be” your outcome before you “do” what it takes to get there. This is when the shift takes place.

If you’ve heard Jim Rohn before you know he’s said for decades – “Work harder on yourself than you do on your business.” Now do you see why?

We are all capable of great wealth. You have the ability to create limitless abundance. We all do. Your inner potential is worth far more than your current bank balance. Often times the only thing holding you back are your own limiting beliefs. Remember, you’re net worth will equal your self worth.

By surrounding yourself with a community like ours...a group focused on wealth, abundance and prosperity...you greatly increase your chances of achieving massive wealth in ALL areas of your life. It’s more important now than ever to be at ALL of our live events and to be a part of the m3 Private Wealth Group. THIS is the Mastermind Group that addresses everything I just talked about above.

See you soon...

Have You Heard About Robert Kiyosaki's NEW Project?

2009-02-07T19:42:00Z

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the #1 bestselling personal finance book of all time, Rich Dad Poor Dad is taking a new approach with his next book. He’s releasing the book, Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money, online — for free. And he’s inviting readers to participate in the writing process.

Here --> http://www.conspiracyoftherich.com

Here's what the publishing company had to say about the NEW project:

“We are living in tumultuous, unsettling and frightening economic times,” said Rick Wolff, Vice President and Executive Editor for Hachette Book Group, publisher of Rich Dad Poor Dad and the 26 books in the Rich Dad series, “and Robert believes that people today, perhaps more than ever before, are hungry for information and financial education. The fact that he is committed to writing and distributing a new book to the world for free is amazing to us, and indicative of his genuine concern for the challenging economic times in which we live. Today, more than ever, the world needs a voice they can trust and someone they can rely on to deliver the cold, hard facts about what is really happening in the world.”

And here's what Kiyosaki says:

“This is the right book, at the right time, at the right price,” says Kiyosaki, in reference to the free and universal access to this book. “This is not the time for traditional answers. The time for this book is now — and the Web will let us do that.”

Kinda sounds to me like the WMI mission...

Robert Kiyosaki is a MASTER marketer and a MASTER financial educator -- and so are we so this should be a VERY interesting project to watch.

Amazing timing again for us.....

So You Wanna Be One Of The Chosen Ones?

2009-02-02T03:57:08Z

The world around us is changing, as we all know. But one thing isn't changing, contrary to "popular belief"...

...People will always buy. ALWAYS.

A quick, timely statement from one of my first mentors in the Direct Marketing industry sums it all up:

"The fact of a recession, any fact, every fact will not stop or long delay anybody from buying what they really want EVER. So if you are not selling at the pace you would like as successfully as you'd like, it is a reflection of one thing and one thing only...you are not successfully 'positioning and presenting' what you sell in a way that triggers compelling, irresistible want on the part of your chosen prospects."

- Dan Kennedy

As a Consultant here with WMI, you are in the business of selling. Selling is all about "positioning" and "presenting" whether it's at a web site, on the phone, or in an Email.

So if you wanna be one of the chosen ones, one of the few who navigate through these economic storms, untouched in many ways, your answer lies right there, right in the above statement.

I felt this may be a great way for you to start your February '09. Short and sweet...yet "compelling," no?

Make it a great month.

Fast Food Finacial Planning?

2009-01-15T12:56:58Z

This phrase, "Fast Food Financial Planning," grabbed my attention not long ago, as I’m sure it did yours a moment ago, when I was reading one of Robert Kiyosaki’s books in the Rich Dad series.

When you look at the health problems of millions of people in America today, many are suffering because they are eating fast food that taste good, is extensively advertised, well packaged, and easy to buy.

Sound familiar?

I don’t think anyone would disagree that we have a “health crisis” in this country caused by too much fast food. Well, we now have an even bigger “wealth crisis” caused by too much “Fast Food Financial Planning.”

Having spent almost a decade in the financial services industry, I never really thought about it this way, yet the relationship between the two is eerie. This was one of the big reasons why I left the industry a few years ago…because way too many people were be given the exact same financial advice, yet they are all different people with completely different individual financial needs and goals. It would be like a Doctor recommending the same medication for a man with a heart problem that he does a woman with a skin problem. Unbelievable when you think about it.

In this particular book, Robert Kiyosaki says: "Any food or investment that is easy to buy, overly advertised, wrapped in convenient packages, with sales offices and sales people on every corner, is probably not good for you." He went on to say, "Just as some of the best tasting, healthiest, and best value food I have found has been in tiny out of the way restaurants, some of the best investments I have found have been in tiny obscure places run by true artists and gifted geniuses…NOT big corporations."

I don’t know if that analogy could any better sum up exactly what takes place at our m2 Wealth Conference and in the m3 Private Wealth Group – private investment ideas and strategies offered by “true artists” and "gifted geniuses," NOT institutions or big companies. It is the essence of the Wealth Masters business model.

There has never been a time in history where taking ownership of your own financial decisions has been more critical than it is right now as we head into 2009. The "so called" experts have gone belly up. They couldn't properly manage their company's money (look at all the bankruptcies), they couldn't manage the bank's money (look at all the failed banks), and they certainly can't manage their own money...

So how on earth can they manage your money??

If you don’t understand money, financial planning, and how money works in this new era we are entering...then you simply don’t get to earn any more of it. Those are new the rules.

Happy Holidays Along With Some Major Developments Heading Into 2009...

2008-12-26T03:28:03Z

What an incredible 2008 it's been for many of our "seasoned" WMI Consultants...

In the month of December I spent one weekend in New York City at CarbonCopyPRO headquarters as we launched the first "private," high end, specialized training and Mastermind Group for CarbonCopyPRO members. You'll hear more about these groups in the New Year.

The next weekend, I was in Houston, Texas at the Wealth Masters corporate offices filming a commercial with Kip and Karl for the TV show "The Economic Report" with Greg Gumbel. This is a VERY popular show that highlights emerging companies and business trends.

Details here --> http://www.TheEconomicReport.com

The commercial should be ready by the next m2 event in Lake Tahoe, NV in March and will EXPLODE your business from a credibility / branding stand point...

There is simply NO other business community like ours and as we enter the New Year because people are desperate for 2 things and 2 things only....

1. "How can I make more money?"

2. "What on earth should I do with my money now that Wall Street is broken and Financial Advisors have flat out failed?"

2 great questions, huh? Guess what?

YOU have an answer for both with the CarbonCopyPRO / Wealth Masters combo. No one is even in the same category as us as we enter 2009. It's actually just downright unfair at this point.. ;)

Get your "mind" and your "business strategy" in place NOW. I can't even begin to tell you what else is coming down the pipe in the New Year.

Remember...timing is everything in business and you WILL absolutely look back at this time we are in RIGHT NOW and say...

"I'm glad I did."

OR...

"I wish I did."

Remember, it's the "seasoned" Consultants who go on to create the ultimate lifestyles...and the ONLY way to become "seasoned" is to BE in the game at all times and STAY in the game at all times...longevity and committment win out in every business, all the time.

Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones. Tis the "season."

A Look Back At The 7th m2 Wealth Conference...

2008-12-10T03:51:05Z

Looking back at the 7th m2 Wealth Conference in Marco Island in November (my 5th) brings incredible excitement to me about the future here at Wealth Masters International. As a company, we turned the corner, BIG time with the line up of speakers we assembled…

...Robert Kiyosaki’s precious metals expert and Rich Dad Advisor, best selling author of “The Creature From Jekyl Island,” the president of a private bank that specializes in currencies and precious metals, the TOP tax expert in the country, highly sought after national speakers and coaches in the areas of personal development and wellness, the front runner for President of the United States of America in 2012 for the quietly popular and expanding Libertarian Party…and much more.

But the real benefit of our m2 Wealth Conferences are the times spent with other members, company leaders, WMI alliances and speakers. These are priceless moments. Many create life long friendships and/or relationships that completely change the course of their lives either professionally, personally or both. I know I have. Some of my best friends are here at Wealth Masters. Not to mention the alliances and speakers I now do business with is too many to count….

Every single asset I own, financial planning strategy, or personal development technique I’ve implemented in my life over the past two years have almost ALL stemmed from a Wealth Masters alliance that I’ve met at an m2 Wealth Conference. I rarely use financial advisors and I no longer look outside the WMI alliances for assistance in any areas of financial planning because I don’t have to. Every expert I need in any area I need it, is all right here under one roof.

Even if I was not an active Marketing Consultant and Vice President here, I would still be at both yearly m2 Wealth Conferences because I know that at each event it only takes “one” new contact, “one” new piece of timely information, and “one” new strategy to completely change the course of my financial future.

Its like being a part of a private, “inner circle” of some of the brightest financial minds in the country. Well…actually, that’s exactly what the WMI membership is, and as we move into a new era of drastic change…more people than ever will have to look outside the world they’ve come to know all too well over the years and into a new world, a different world…this kind of world, otherwise it will be a painful decade ahead for those who look the other way.

The next m2 Wealth Conference will actually be here before we know it. There will be a VERY special NEW element added to the m2 in Lake Tahoe in March…

Stay tuned!

I Had An Interesting Encounter...

2008-11-15T18:25:05Z

I just finished reading one of the books in Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad series and the author will be one of our featured speakers at the m2 Wealth Conference in Marco Island, FL. I don't know about you but THAT is exciting to me...having a "chosen" advisor to The Rich Dad Company at our event.

The book is titled: "Guide To Investing In Gold And Silver" by Michael Maloney.

Unexpectedly, I met Michael personally in Hollywood, CA last weekend at a private Internet Marketing / Charity Event. Funny to meet the author of the book I was currently reading. Nice surprise. We ended up talking about his book for about an hour over dinner. An interesting encounter to say the least...

Here are two excerpts from the book that have sat with me:

...Opportunities only go to the the very few who do the work required, and those that are able to think for themselves. Most investors get their advice from the same place as everyone else. They do things the easy way and wait for advice to come to them from the TV, the big investment firms, and their friends and neighbors who are already getting rich...on paper at least.

I think the word "wait" may be the most crippling word in the English language.

...In times of financial upheaval, wealth is not destroyed, it is merely transferred. The opportunities this creates for the educated investor is enormous -- investors that are educated enough to discern the difference between price and value. The price means nothing...value is everything.

I think we ALL get caught up with "price." It's everywhere and just about everything is associated with it. It's how we've been programmed. But "value" is where it's at.

Michael does a super job demonstrating the role value plays versus price in his book, along with the best information I've ever come across in regards to how Gold and Silver will play a major role in the years ahead. His data is rock solid.

He'll do an even better job from stage at the upcoming m2 Wealth Conference! Get the book and read it before you get there. You have a whole week! Remember what Michael said above: "Most do things the easy way and wait for advice to come to them."

See you in Marco Island, FL...

Here's My Story And I'm Stickin' With It

2008-10-26T02:32:17Z

Since this is my first official WMI Blog post, a quick background on me is in order, plus a very valuable lesson at the end...

I've been with Wealth Masters exactly 2 years now. It's hard to believe I will be attending my 5^th m2 Wealth Conference this fall. How the time flies...when you're having fun, of course.

I was born and raised just outside of Boston, MA. I went on to college in New York and graduated from Hofstra University in 1995 with a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree in Management. I was also a member of the NCAA Division 1-AA Football team at Hofstra.

I had a sales job lined up the day I graduated from college and moved to Long Island, NY right after I graduated. I couldn’t wait to get out there in the "real world." After about one year in that dead end job I became a stock broker at the beginning of one the greatest bull markets in American history and made my first million by the age of 27. Great timing.

In 2001 I left the Investment Banking world all together once I finally learned how "the game" was played. It took awhile for me to eventually understand the politics and the manipulation behind "the game." Case in point – look what just happened to Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers.

Back then, I watched a great deal of my friends go to jail for stock fraud, stock manipulation and insider trading....many have never really recovered or gotten their lives back on track. Sad to watch. Ever see the movie "Boiler Room?" That was what most of the Long Island, NY firms looked like and operated like in the early 90's.

Fortunately for me, at the time these guys were playing their stock manipulation "games" in the early 90's, I was still in college. By the time I got into the industry in 1996, it had been cleaned up quite bit and the firm's I was associated with ran very good businesses for the most part.

But then the industry took another, major turn for the worse after the tech bubble burst in 2001. I walked away altogether. I had enough at that point. I had made and lost millions not only for my clients but for myself as well. I then went on to spend a few years in the Mortgage Banking industry right at the beginning of one of the longest periods of interest rate cuts in history. Clearly the Mortgage Banking environment saw explosive growth and timing was right on for me again.

It didn’t take me long to learn how the mortgage "game" was played though. The result -- exactly the meltdown we're now seeing unfold on Wall Street, in the mortgage industry and unfortunately...Main Street. So far, three entire countries have now been wiped out due to Wall Street and the United States mortgage lending industry. It absolutely blows me away...

You'll likely see a whole new wave of arrests sweep through Wall Street and the mortgage industry in the years ahead. High profile investment bankers and CEO's will be rounded up and sent to jail. This stuff takes years to come to a head.

Finally, in 2005 I left the Financial Services field all together to pursue my passion as an Entrepreneur (I'm sure you can relate). In early 2006, I became fascinated with Internet Marketing. Great timing again? I think so. But this industry offers a far bigger opportunity to grow financially AND personally. I attend events all over the country an this is THE most dynamic, optimistic and success focused group of people I've ever been around in my entire life. I've grown more personally in the past two years than I did in the previous thirty three.

Not sure how or why Internet Marketing became my next passion...I loved the leverage, automation and unlimited income potential this world offers. As a stock broker in the late 90's, all I knew was the telephone and if I was not on it, I didn’t get paid. Trading time for money will eventually run anyone down.

I spent my entire first year and MUCH of my savings in Internet Marketing Coaching programs and courses. I became a student of marketing, developed my own wellness related information product from scratch, and created two online newsletters (Ezines)...one of which I still write and publish today that has become well recognized in the Home Business industry: The Home Business Insider.

You can sign up for FREE here --> www.TheHomeBusinessInsider.com

Now as we enter a whole "new economy" (some call it a recession), THE #1 and THE #2 skills, hands down, in the "new economy" will be...drum roll please...

1. Money – how it works, how it flows, and more important...how it will work for you in the "new economy." More wealth will be lost in the years ahead than at any point in history, however...even more wealth will be created. This is the way it has ALWAYS been in history and this is the way it will ALWAYS be throughout history. The good news is...you get to decide which side of the fence you are on, contrary to popular belief...but where has popular belief ever gotten anyone?

2. Internet Marketing – how to position yourself and/or your product on the World Wide Web in front of MILLIONS each and every day so you can create unlimited, virtually automated income, 24/7 and make money while you sleep...so powerful and SO much wealth being created as a result.

Those who miss either of these two critical "new economy" skills or look the other way are in for a VERY rough road ahead. Sad but true. You'll need to be agile and sharp with your "money" skills and your "internet marketing' skills in the "new economy" or you will be chewed up and spit out as we enter a whole new era.

In case ya missed the memo...

Wealth Masters International and CarbonCopyPRO have been specifically designed to provide our members with BOTH skills so you can prosper in the "new economy" while many will be left scratching their heads and playing catch up. This is why I so frequently call our business model "The Perfect Storm." Now do you see why?

Remember: "timing" is critical, as I've clearly demonstrated. If you're reading this right now you are on the right side of the "timing" equation. Congrats to you!

Grab some shades, you're future is bright...but only if YOU are committed to it and only if YOU stay focused on it like a laser beam.

Stay plugged into me and the gang here at the NEW WMI Blog and through my FREE weekly Ezine, The Home Business Insider, and I'll keep you on track. That’s a promise.

See you at the November 2008 m2 Wealth Conference in Marco Island, FL.
