I’ll never forget it… 

I was making ridiculous amounts of money and it may have looked like “success” to everyone else, but I hadn’t gone on a real vacation for over 7 years…

I regret that I had missed a lot of really important “firsts” in my first 2 kids’ lives because I was “chasin’ that paper”.

Finally I took the time to go to a seminar and learn some Hard Love Truth… (so I’ll gift it to you now.)

If you pay attention, the wealthiest people are always trying to explain in their books…

They said, “Most people think they are ‘free’…  (especially because they live in a land of ‘freedom and opportunity’)….  but in reality they are deep asleep in slavery.” 

The more I listened, the more uncomfortable I was getting. I couldn’t take it. I hated that thought of being one of the sheep…

I was one of them… “A busy business owner chasing money”.

So in this article. I’m talking about absolute freedom – like, next level entrepreneurship…

Clarity is POWER

If you’re serious about real entrepreneurial freedom, there are 2 honest questions you must ask yourself that require honest answers:

1. If you stop working/managing in your current job/business, do you stop getting paid? 
   
   
2. Do you spend more time on BBQs, ball games, Social Media scrolling and planning Christmas gifts for other people than you do actively planning your own escape to freedom?

If the answer to #1 is “yes”, then you’re (still) working for what is known as “linear income“.

Linear, or “active” income means that you actively have to work to get the money. There is only one person responsible for your income, and that’s you, so you can not ever stop working.

And if you absolutely can not stop working, then you’re a slave to money aren’t you? 

He continued to press on my worst fear.

“If you are a slave to money, then you are not free“. 

Freedompreneurs have a stronger WHY

There’s a saying: “If you fail to plan, you plan to FAIL.”

In other words, if you don’t have a strategic and proven plan of action for absolute freedom, what are your chances of getting free? 

I started to get it…  CLARITY is POWER. 

So here ya go…

7 Phases To 7-Figure Freedompreneurship

1. The Right Business Vehicle 

In today’s world, there are a million different “opportunities” out there that claim “freedom”, however most of them are all hype or just plain hokey.

So how do you know which is right for you? This will help you get ultra clarity :

First, I had to start with the end in mind. If your goal is absolute freedom, then it must be the kind of business that, (once it’s built sustainable), will work for you and pay you for life, even if you decide to retire or walk away.

Is there even such a thing?

Yes. If you do the research.

And this automatically weeds out most traditional (and non-traditional) businesses because of example like:

– If you own your own small business, you’ve already experienced that nobody cares about your business like you do, so you can’t ever be fully away or it falls apart. Or you unless you sell it, but then the money stops. 

– Even if you have a non-traditional/online business, yes it can work for you 24-7, but if you stop selling or generating traffic, the money stops coming in.

– Even if you have a few franchise businesses, (employees and a system), you still  have to run around making sure your employees aren’t stealing from you. 

*(I know an owner of 14 Subway Sandwiches businesses and he shared that all his time is consumed driving around to all the stores making sure the 20-year old employees aren’t making sandwiches for all their friends.

…BUT THEY STILL DO IT as soon as HE’S NOT THERE.)

– Etc… 

So when I started looking around doing my due diligence, I looked for the people who had the exact  “financial freedom” lifestyle I wanted.

I asked everyone a ton of questions, found some mentors and took a lot of notes. Being open-minded was key when other people approached me with “opportunities”. 

I always tell people to do tons of due diligence before hopping into any business, because it’s like marriage – it’s a commitment!

The point is, most businesses DO NOT have a system and structure that can set you FREE. 

Then, there are other important factors like : 

What could you be passionate about? How much time do you have available to build something on the side? What’s your budget? What much are you willing to grow personally?

Does it have a PROVEN step-by-step system that OTHER people can duplicate, even when you’re not there? 

Does it have a support system? Coaching, training, mentorship?

If it checks these boxes, boom, you’re in. 

Which leads me to… 
 

2. Mentorship/A Mentor 

I’m gonna make this one short and clear.

How many business ideas come with a mentor? How can you get one? 

This is one of the most important factors because it’s like learning how to ride a bike without someone helping you. 

Imagine being young again, but you had nobody to teach you or be there with you to help you learn to ride a bike.

Even if you were motivated enough to read a book or watch a course on riding a bike, how difficult would it be, and HOW MUCH LONGER would it take to learn. 

Most people do not understand how important this is, (which is why 90% of all businesses fail in their first 5 years, and 50% of those business who DO make it to 5 years fails within the next 5 years.)

So you need a coach/trainer/mentor to help your odds and 100x your learning curve! It literally cuts your learning curve from 40 or 50 years to under 10 years!

Here’s the absolute answer: 

Look for the person who has the results you’re looking for, and reach out to build a relationship and ask them.

Plain and simple. : )
 

3. The Right Target Market

This is where most people get it backwards. Most people accidentally think that if the product is good, then it “sells itself” and everyone is a prospect!

Then they try to go sell it and put in WAY too much hard work, because NO, not everyone is your perfect prospect!

You could have the best coffee in the world, but if you’re putting your coffee in front of a bunch of Mormons, (or putting your cheeseburgers in front of a bunch of vegetarians), you will sell nothing. 

So, every business has a target market – the exact type of person/customer they want to attract and help. 

You will need to know who that is, so you can find the specific group of people who are ACTIVELY seeking out solutions that your product can help with.

What are their problems, challenges, fears? What do they wake up thinking about? Where do they hang out? 

CRITICAL : These are NOT the people who you have to convince. 

These are people who are AWARE of their problem and proven interested and ready to buy in that specific area! 

4. Deploy An Organic (Good Look) Strategy On Social Platforms

I see most people accidentally blow it here, then quickly give up because they didn’t invest the time to learn how to leverage with Social Media!

Over-excited business owners go right in with way too much “selling” on their personal profile. 

They try to promote their product or business in their bio, on their profiles and in the feed, spamming the same thing on every platform!

Instead of all the spam and selling, you can position yourself with a classy branding look by ADDING VALUE to people’s lives – sharing valuable info, tips, tools and education! 

Instead of getting people in the pattern of “Geez what’s she gonna try to sell me today?”, you can brand yourself in a classy way that attracts the right customers and clients who are excited to hear from you!

If you’re new to Social Media, stick to platforms you’re familiar with at first, maybe Facebook and Instagram. 

Then, ideally you’re making friends with – (building a community of) – people just like you, because you’ll have a better idea of how to attract, influence and enroll them into perfect solutions!  

I see a lot of sales reps and coaches who are “chasing” every single prospect with messages instead of learning the skills to ATTRACT with style! 

“Attraction Marketing” is most definitely the better look! 

5. Deploy Automation To Scale Your Business And Minimize Your Time On Social Media

These days, I don’t have to sell, convince or even post on my personal profile, because I can have FB and Instagram ads doing the work – (basically posting for me!)

#LEVERAGE!

So to save time and have a high quality of life, your online funnels and ads will be getting your information in front of laser-targeted prospects (who are already interested and ready to buy from you or join you). 

You have high-converting sales and enrolling “Funnels” for your business and brand. (More on that HERE).

6. Automation For Your Employee/Team Development

A few years into my freedom business, I was making pretty good money, but I was working at least 8-10 hours/day on my business. It felt like I was stuck running on a treadmill babysitting my organization. 

I couldn’t seem to make more than $8k or $9k/month as a “leader” and I stayed in that range for 3 years.

I eventually I got tired, so I invested my efforts to learn and grow in to the next phase:

Automated onboarding systems, trainings systems, Leadership development, etc. 

“Digital Duplication Systems!”

You also have videos, systems, assets and leaders in place who don’t need you to be there. They don’t need you any more. 

They know what to do, they’re using the system and they’re self-motivated and developed.

You’ve truly duplicated your influence and Leadership.



Now… do you have that system your leaders can use to lead, teach, automate and duplicate themselves at different levels for exponential growth? 

7. Dreams – (Vision, Personal Growth & Purpose)

Ok so now you’ve built a 7-figure business… Your dream life … ?   

Well, this is where normally you would go into the next phase:

“Vision, personal growth and purpose” …  However…

If you are reading this, you are not “normal”. We are one percenters who already know… 

“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail“

And…

“It’s not what you MAKE – It’s what you KEEP“

This next step is the most over-looked foundational principle in Financial Freedom. 

It’s your TAXES.

Are you versed with tax strategies and planning? If not, you can not create wealth, and definitely not freedom.

I’m not talking about tax evasion. I’m talking about (legal) tax avoidance! 

No matter which income level phase you’re at right now, it matters, and what you don’t know (and ACT on) will hurt you. 

This takes some time investment, but there are a ton books written, secret strategies and Laws that benefit you, and it’s SO WORTH IT. 

Of course, I can’t fit all the nuts and bolts into this short blog post. (If I did, it would be too long and nobody would read it)… but there are more resources for each and every step. 

Here’s what you can do…

Hope that blew your mind like it did mine when I first discovered it.

Chat soon, 
The World Is Yours, M! 

Finally my friend Scott had to ask me this crucial question, (and I recommend you ask yourself the same) …

How many people, (in your immediate circle), are currently taking massive action toward REAL WEALTH?

For me, 15 years ago, the answer would be NOT ONE. Not a single one of my friends or family members were actively pursuing wealth.

They were all doing the “normal” shit…

You know, “Go to school, so you can get that safe secure job”. Some of them had a small business.

Which means…

That’s Where All The Fiercest Competition Is

And one of the funniest parts was that a few of those normal peeps even tried to talk crap about my “alternative businesses” and would try to laugh behind my back. 

So now, let’s unpack this “fierce competition”… 

Think about all the people you know: 

They seriously are all going for the same college degrees, the same jobs, careers, and small businesses!

So, again, where do you think all the fiercest competition is? 

YEP, you guessed it. It’s where the most people are competing – (ALL going for the same jobs and traditional businesses!)

So literally, there is LESS COMPETITION when it comes to building automated business vehicles and systems that create real wealth and time freedom! 

If I’m honest, all the normal peeps out there remind me of all these flies here, fighting for the same ummm….. well, you know! lol

So how easy is pursuing wealth? 

It’s NOT. It’s hard.

But EVERYTHING is hard, and those who look for “easy” are never going to find it because it doesn’t exist, or EVERYONE would be wealthy!

And you’re most likely going to work hard for the next 10 years ANYWAY – (either way) – aren’t you? 

So,, it’s not easy, but at least it’s SIMPLE to create wealth — Let me prove it to you. 

First though, I’ll need to hit on some foundational wealth and time-freedom “re-wiring” for your mind…

According to all the wealth books, real wealth is not measured in money – it’s measure in time freedom. 

Because what is the number one all time resource in this world?

Time Is You Most Valuable Resource

They say, “You can always make money, (it comes and goes, and anyone can make more of it), but no matter who you are, you will NEVER get your time back once it’s gone.”

And even when you’re on your deathbed, you will not be saying, “I wish I would have worked more”. You’ll be saying,

“I wish I had more TIME”.

So let me give you a breakdown to shift your paradigm…

Let’s say you’ve learned some “new-school” business and built some automated income online, but you’re only making $100k/year. You work approximately 5-7 hours/week on your business. 

And let’s say “Mike the millionaire” makes $1,000,000/year but he works on his (old-school traditional brick and mortar) business the usual 80 hours per week. 

Which one has true Wealth in your opinion?

Let’s unpack this with MATH : 

First, let’s break down the new-school:

If you divide $100,000 by 52 weeks, you get $1923.08 per week. Then you divide that by 7 hours (per week of work) and it will add up to you making $274.72/hour. 

Now let’s do the same for “Mike the Millionaire”: 

Divide $1,000,000 by 52 weeks, you get $19,230.77 per week. Then you divide that by 80 hours (per week of work) and it will add up to you making $240.38/hour! 

So now, when you understand that True Wealth is not measure in money, but measured in time freedom – which one makes makes more per hour and has more TIME freedom? 

BOOM… I hope this helps you with a paradigm shift… because we’re barely scratching the surface here… 

Let’s Talk About Where All The “Competition” Is

In all the wealth books I’ve read, they basically say, “Look around and notice what all the masses do, and simply look to do the opposite of them!”

Well, easier said than done… 

Why?

Because that would mean thinking way outside the box, coming WAY out of your comfort zone, reinventing yourself and learning something new, which is what most people avoid, because it’s unfamiliar.

The best part about that is the words “most people“. 

So literally, all you have to do, is DO what most people are NOT willing to DO, to get what they will never HAVE!

Want to see an example? CLICK PLAY below. 

And just like I was talking about in that video, there are a thousand ideas and business models to choose from, but “most people” are thinking something like an Amazon business or their own product, t-shirt business, etc. 

Again, this would be LINEAR INCOME, a TON of competition, and HIGH RISK because it’s the “normal” stuff… a fierce world out there. 

Nothing wrong with all that stuff, but I’ve been there, and I hated it… (and actually, 9 out of 10 businesses go out of business in their first 5 years)… 

AND…

You find out pretty quickly that even if you do become “successful” growing a huge business, you’re just more BUSY, with more overhead, buildings, paperwork, employees, attorneys, etc… 

So, always play the whole movie out…

What are the consequences of becoming successful in each business model? 

For most, if it ends up growing like you would want it to, it owns you and all of your time.

For (a few) others, (less competition), you’ll make the same amount of money, but the (less popular) business models can set you FREE.

Less overhead, less time consumption, the highest amount of upside potential with the lowest amount of risk…

Imagine…

You’ve built it like I did, and now you have tons of TIME to travel, be with your family, surf, or whatever the hell you want to do in this world! 

Life has changed, and it wasn’t as hard as you thought, because there was less competition!

What would that mean for you and your family? Would it be worth it?

So there you have it.

You can choose where you want to compete, so choose wisely!

The World Is Yours, M… 

If You’re Wondering Exactly “HOW” To Make Money With Your Passions…

Then you’re doomed, like I was, because…

You must start with “WHY“.

Every day, entrepreneurs contact me to ask “how” to do it… 

“How do you generate REAL, SIGNIFICANT income online, by doing what you love… and even while you sleep?” (Yeah I know, that still sounds nuts to me too…)

It even sometimes makes me giggle that I don’t have to wake up to an alarm clock or be tied down to a job or business, but sh*t, it wasn’t always like that.

And it wasn’t “easy”.

I tried everything, and struggled with all of it before I finally humbled myself to reach out to the right people and opt in to their “*funnels”.

*** (The real mentors with proven results naturally have to guard their valuable time, so they create funnels and filters to separate the serious from the curious tire-kickers before they invest their time into you.)

But with them, it didn’t start with my ‘how‘…

WHY You Must Know Your WHY

I grew up poor, so an abundant mindset was most definitely NOT easy for me.

I’ve had many jobs. I remember being busy and broke, working hard for someone else, feeling stuck, promoting  other people’s businesses – other people’s dreams.

Then, as a pro snowboarder, I would wake up to an alarm clock every morning, leaving to “work” before my kids were even up.

Usually people would be super excited to load up the snowmobiles and go up into the mountains, but for me, the more wealth books I read, the more aware I became. 

I was making millions for other people.

I didn’t mind it at first, because it was amazing! We were making money, traveling the world, doing what we loved!

I was young and had energy, but I didn’t yet know the importance of being more present in my kids’ formative younger years.

Then, when I started to grow mentally, I started to feel like a slave to my profession.

I felt guilty that I would leave before my kids were awake, before the sun was even up, and get home when they were ready for bed.

And even if I got home before they went to sleep, I was too tired to really play around with them and get real quality time.

I was doing what parents think they have to do.

Many fathers support their family, but simply don’t get to be there present with their family as much as they would love to be.

I got clear on my “why”.

I personally believe this is why many kids get in trouble and have issues, and why I ended up getting in a ton trouble as a kid too.

So, I was looking for solutions.

I had mentors that would say catchy phrases like “you must know your WHY” and “the how doesn’t matter”, but I never understood the importance of knowing the deeper meaning of that phrase, and how it should be powerful enough to move you into action.

Then one day, my daughter was crying as I was leaving out the front door. She didn’t want me to leave, but I had to.

I hated that I HAD to go to work.

That was the morning I snapped. Enough was enough.

That month everything changed. I made the change. I went to another self development transformational seminar, and I got ultra clear on my Core Values.

Once you get crystal clear on your Core Values, and they are connected into your subconscious, anchored with the actions you must take every day, you will be self-motivated to form daily habits that will get you to your goals. 

The bigger your “why” and the stronger your passions are, the more action you will take to find solutions and make it happen.

Is Your “Why” Strong Enough?

What’s important in your life? What would you DIE for?

They say if your WHY is strong enough, you’ll figure out the “how“.

If your WHY is strong enough, you’ll take action, (even on the uncomfortable things you previously procrastinated on) to get to your goals.

New things are uncomfortable for us so we fight “change”, and for me, it was uncomfortable to learn online marketing and branding using the internet and Social Media.

I was just a snowboarder. I would tell myself stories/excuses/lies like “I’m no good with the computer” and “I’m not a good salesman, and I don’t like sales”.

However, my “why” was huge.

My kids and my freedom are the most important thing in my life, so in order to have freedom and free time to be around my kids, I had to find a way, and come out of my comfort zone to learn “how” to generate 24-hour streaming income.

They say, “If you don’t learn how to make money while you slept, you’ll be working ’til you’re DEAD”…

So I needed to find a way, so I could actually be there for my kids while they were AWAKE! 

So here we go:

3 Keys To Making Money Online With Your Passions

1. The WHY:

One of the biggest initial mistakes most people make is asking “how” to make money online. The “how” comes later, so forget that right now…

It is important to NOT start with the “how“, because if you do, you may never even start, because you’ll just keep telling yourself “I just don’t know how or what to do”.

I would not have had the motivation to learn something new, (“the how”), if I wasn’t clear on WHY I must find the way.

They say there are 2 most important times in your life:
(1) – When you are born, and (2) – When you finally find out WHY you were born…

So…

-What are your passions?

(If you have a “why” that will make you cry, write it down and put it on your mirror in the bathroom.)

If you don’t even know where you wanna go or what you want to do, how are you ever even gonna get there?

Be Aware

People spend their time and money on what they VALUE.

So if you get clear on what you value most, then you will find a way. If you have clarity on what you value, you’ll invest your time and money into making it happen! Which brings you to…

2. Then, the WHAT:

If you’re not absolutely all the way clear on #1, then you must go back and get clear first.

Make a dream board. Look at it every day. If it’s your kids, then you’re not going to let them down, are you? You’ll do whatever it takes.

THEN, you must figure out NOT what you want to be, but what do you want your lifestyle to be like, so that you have the time freedom to do what you want to do, and get to that ‘why’.

Ok.. after you’re clear with your WHY, then comes the WHAT:

What/which business vehicle(s) can you use to achieve the exact lifestyle you’re looking for?

For every next level of freedom, there will be another level of “de-programming” you’ll need.

One of the hardest things about getting free from financial slavery, is that we are programmed for the “normal” linear income, (where trade your time for a wage or salary).

Again, you must be careful what you’re going to invest your time into:

Most people invest their time getting good at a skill, (something linear, meaning if you stop working, you stop getting paid), that will keep you busy, trading your time for money – so you never have any time for what’s most important in your life.

Most employees and small business owners aren’t even aware they are slaves to money.

This is why most professionals burn out, become exhausted, and feel like slaves to their business or practices.

Most of the time, they don’t really “own” their business, it owns THEM. They simply bought themselves a job.

So if you really stop to think and interrupt the pattern:

Do NOT focus on what you wanna BE, (doctor, lawyer, personal trainer, etc.)… just so you can have a “title”…

Think about what you want your lifestyle to be like, so you can get the quality of life you really want. 

Clarity

What if you lose your arm, would your family have the rug pulled out from under them?

What if you die, would the money keep rolling in? Is it leveraged? Are you going to be tied down to a certain building, city, or area because of your linear work?

Now that I’m aware, it’s about freedom.

I can now build business from anywhere in the world with a cellphone and a laptop now, and choose when and where (and even if) I want to work.

So, WHAT business vehicles can you use to get you FREE?

3. Then, finally, the “HOW”:

The HOW is the easiest part, by far.

Many of today’s business vehicles, (franchises, mini franchises, or online businesses), have proven systems that any high school dropout can follow.

You DO NOT Want To Own a “Job”

You want to own a SYSTEM, so that literally, ANYONE can follow the system. Anyone can be taught the “how” pretty quickly. And the simpler it is, the quicker you can put someone else in your place, duplicate your efforts and achieve freedom.

A bank will even give you a loan on a franchise, (McDonald’s, Starbucks, etc.) because they know they’re gonna get their money back – it’s a proven system!

Simple systems are key because eventually the system is running and building your business — not YOU running your business!

Again, this is the only way to truly duplicate yourself. 

It helps create a lifestyle of time freedom, because anyone else can take your place and follow the system when you’re NOT there!

So, it’s not the money we are looking for – it’s the quality of life.

It’s being able to do the things that are most valuable to us. 

And sooner or later, everyone agrees — TIME is more valuable than money.  

So the “why” is more important than the “how”, because the “how” is simple. 

It’s Never Too Late

Decide To Learn “HOW” To Make Money With Your Passions

Growing up, I watched my mom go through 7 different careers in 30 years after college. She was passionate about a few arenas, but even those didn’t work.

We lived month-to-month, paycheck to paycheck.

Each time she got very good at a linear skill that kept her busy, trading her priceless time for money.

She didn’t have a system running her business. She WAS the system.

If she would have just invested 5-7 years of that same effort into a proven system, then she would have been able to truly duplicate herself for leveraged income.

This is the key for next level living.

Check out an example of a business of information that works 24-7 and around the world for you, HERE, so you can make money while you sleep too.

The Power Of The Internet

One of the things about the internet is, once you put the content out there, it’s there for life. This can mean 24 hour income.

People can read or watch content 24 hours/day, 7 days/week.

They also can BUY things 24-7.

And if they are on the other side of the world, (let’s say like, Australia or South Africa), then they are waking up while we are sleeping.

Many E-commerce businesses are open in other countries as well as the U.S.

This gives us the chance to connect consumers with the products they’re looking for, and collecting commissions for doing so.

Think of Amazon.com, how do they get paid? They connect the consumer with what they’re looking for. Same as Google. With information, they do the same thing.

Don’t Work Hard

Work Smart. 

I know your parents probably told you to “work hard in life”, like mine did.

I’m here to challenge those beliefs.

I don’t believe in simply “working hard” for 40-50 hours/week for 40 years.

They told us, “work hard until you’re 65 or 70, and THEN get to travel the world and be with family!

This was old information from the Industrial Age. However, it’s now the… 

The Information Age

Today, if you’re good at spreading information in the Information Age, you can make a TON of 24-7 recurring income.

You’ll be working #smart instead of hard.

So you can be with family, travel the world with your own flexible schedule and really LIVE.

You can create this with your own professional online business or blog site.

You can create it working with international businesses that drop ship all around the world, so you don’t have to hold inventory or invest and house the products.

Would it be worth it to learn how to do that? It’s actually very simple. Not easy, but simple. But are you willing?

How strong is your WHY?

Ever Seen The Head-Bangers In The Window Seal?

WARNING: This may be another uncomfortable story!  (And it ain’t about Punk Rock flies!)

It’s about FREEDOM. 

We’ve all seen ’em… those dead flies in the window seal.

I was sitting there thinking, “how horrible that is…”

If only they knew. 

The flies just keep hopelessly banging their head against the window, over and over and over again, working hard to “get free”. 

I wish, Mr. Fly, that you had my 10,000 foot view of your situation…

So how is this like your (Financial) situation?

Well — (like the fly in the window situation) — the tiniest “shift” or course correction can truly change the game. 

Without the right approach, Mr. Fly is pretty much “dead man flying”.

Time is not on his side.

His vision of freedom is RIGHT THERE through the glass, but it will never be achieved no matter how hard he tries.

A lot of hard work. A valiant effort… 

But his approach for freedom is never gonna work. He’s just not getting it.

He is unconsciously incompetent.

I walk away and hope he figures out a better route.

Later I come back, and there he is, still bashing his head against the window. How futile, I think to myself…

A Better Way

It could all be so simple, but there’s a catch. 

As humans, we hate the idea of being “wrong”.

I mean think about it: Do YOU like to be wrong?

So as it happens, our ego does not like to admit it.

So…

Right now, stop and think:

Is what you’re doing currently for work really working to get you to where you want to go?

Clarity Is Power

I’m so grateful for the people who challenged my limiting beliefs and bad patterns… and actually asked me some meaningful questions that made me THINK. 

It made all the difference in the world to admit that what I was doing WAS NOT WORKING… 

And now I realize that my mentors had gone out of their way to grab my attention, shake me up and show me the right ways so I didn’t have to bang my head against the wall, over and over again. 

I was working way too d*mn hard, running around, traveling all over cities, states, and even countries. 

I was working like a chicken with it’s head cut off instead of having more quality time with my kids.

Now back to the flies…

Most of Mr. Fly’s other friends won’t figure it out fast enough either. —->

They’ll spend the best time of their life trying harder and harder, working on something that clearly didn’t work.

Their goal of financial freedom was noble, but they never had a chance.

No 10,000 foot view of their situation. No coach. No mentor.

A lack of clear direction and information kept them from their dreams and vision.

Trying “Harder” Can Absolutely Sabotage You

When my kids fail at something or don’t get the results they want, and they begin to complain or think about quitting, I say, (like most parents), “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. Don’t give up too easily, persistence pays off in the end.”

However, I could be lying.

Because it really depends on your position. Persistence has it’s limitations, and it doesn’t always work.

Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge believer in the power of persistence, but the persistent fly trying hard to break through the window is a perfect analogy for making money as an employee or traditional business owner.

Working For Linear Income Won’t Get You Free

My friend, (we’ll call him John), has been laid off several times in the last three years. He went from earning more than $80,000 a year to less than $40,000.

Each time he was laid off, he went right back to looking for the next job, as if anything would change for him.

Each time he found work, the company in which he was employed went through more “changes”, and he was laid off again.

He’s had 2 and even 3 jobs. It still didn’t work. Like the fly, he too, continues to bash his head on that window, and still hasn’t found a life of financial or time freedom.

Simple fact is, you can’t have your own dreams, if you spend all of your time building the dreams of someone else. Not to mention getting taxed to death as a W-2 employee.

I’ve never seen anyone create financial freedom or stability by earning a salary/wage.

Window “Paining” With Your Small Business

What does Albert Einstein call insanity?
Doing the same thing over and over again and over again, expecting a different result every time.

The fly in my house, my friend John and most entrepreneurs are INSANE. 

Wide Open Windows

What if you could finally find the “wide open window” that actually allowed you to achieve your business goals and lifestyle?

What if you just couldn’t see it before, because you’ve been programmed to focus on only one (old school) linear way to generate income?

What if the strategies that worked for your business 10-15 years ago, are now obsolete, and don’t work for today’s business?

BECAUSE,

The new strategies have everything to do with Social Commerce and leveraging social media. And it can all be done with a laptop (or even a smartphone), all from home.

Wouldn’t that feel a lot better than breaking your back to build the dreams of someone else?

Did you know that Facebook helps you find out where your perfect clients and customers hang out, so you can get the RIGHT information in front of the RIGHT audience?

Did you know…

You can engage and build a relationship with them, all at the same time, so you actually have passive strategies working FOR you while you’re not at work, so you SAVE yourself a ton of time?

What if all your eggs were no longer in one dangerous basket because you found out how to generate multiple streams of income, 24-7, from all over the world?

What if it wasn’t “too good to be true” and you discovered real tactics and strategies that generated recurring online income, in less time and with less effort than a traditional job or small business?

Wouldn’t multiple streams of income make your life more stable and secure, along with more TIME freedom?

What if this income actually allowed you to be work FROM HOME and choose your own schedule?

Change Is “Uncomfortable”

We all learned a long time ago, that in order to get something you’ve never had before, you’ve got to learn something you didn’t know before, and do what you’ve never done before.

You know what you must do…

For 15 years of my life, like the fly, I also used my body to try and forge my escape.

I have landscaped, loaded boxes, roofed houses, delivered pizzas, snowboarded professionally, and helped build huge companies & branded many different snowboard businesses.

Then one day a mentor showed me the path I was on…

My business plans were not actually gonna get me what I really wanted:

FREEDOM. 

And finally I had clarity. I decided I must again come out of my comfort zone so I could find a different (better, faster, more efficient) path to reach my lifestyle goals.

When I stopped to think of the fly’s perspective:

They just don’t know the difference between an open and closed window.

(Many times, we humans do the same thing. We kinda have “tunnel vision”, with only our own perspective).

Archibald MacLeish said:

“The only thing about a man that is a man…is his mind. Everything else you can find in a pig or a horse.”

If you are not using the higher faculties of your mind to craft creative solutions to your challenges, you will be no better off than a pig, or a horse, (or a fly in a window).

You have the power to see, do, and accomplish anything you could ever want in your life and your business.

If you’ve been trying hard and trying harder isn’t working, may I suggest a different approach?

Just as the fly would be very uncomfortable with me “shooing him out” an open window, it was for his own good.

In my opinion, this is how we help so many people…

Dead Or Alive

The “old” ways of building a business are dead and most traditional business owners are struggling. 

If I wouldn’t have stopped and suspended by disbelief for a moment, I would have ended up like all the other dead flies in the window.

Now it’s a whole different story. Completely game-changing!

The good thing is, we all have choice. 

You can stick to your guns and keep doing what you’ve been doing…

Or…

You can invest the time to take an educated look at a tiny course correction that could change the direction of your life and business forever…

From experience, I know…

It Pays To Be Cutting Edge

Picture yourself waking up and seeing you have reached 120,000 people while you were snowboarding (or sleeping).

Imagine building business 5 times faster, with more efficiency, and less time consumption, while generating multiple channels of income from anywhere in the world.

How would that feel? What would that mean for your life and family?

Do you think that investing the time to learn a few new approaches for “more fishing poles in the water” would help you achieve the next level in your business and the life that you’re really looking for?

You Are One Move Away

I believe 1000% that what you search for, you will find.

Now, if you’re like I was, and not sure where to start, but you are coach-able and open to discovering these solutions my wife Mari and I have used, I will show you the path….

We’d love to hear your story, CLICK HERE and let’s connect…

Welcome to the next level!

The World Is Yours, M.

So What Is The Best Job In The World?

I’m sure we’ve all had the day dream or thought about it at one point…

However, the real questions is:

What would the best job be for you?

Here’s the problem:

They Asked The Wrong Questions

Remember the question? They’d ask, “What do you want to BE when you grow up?”, and we thought we had to pick something, to make our family proud…

But it is completely the wrong question.

It’s not about what you want to be, or what everyone thinks you should have. 

The Real Question Is…

“What Do I Want My Life To Be LIKE?”

Here’s why..

Pretty much every time I’m on a coaching call with a high-end professional, I’ll ask them this question…

“So ok yes, you want to make more money, but what if you ALREADY made WAY TOO MUCH MONEY and you had ALL the TIME in the world… THEN what would you do with your day?”

“What’s your ultimate dream? What’s important to you?”

And you know what they say?

95% of the time, their answer is, “Wow, that’s a good question. I’ve never thought about that before.”

And my reply is, “Well shit, how are you ever supposed to get there if you don’t even know where you’re going?

And so my point is, there must be three things in place:

1. Your Destination
2. The “Vehicle” that will get you there.
3. A proven plan. 

Now, for me, the best job in the world became my brand and Home Business(es), helping other people get what they want…

I wanted to be home and have quality time traveling with my family. So the vehicle needed to be something like working from a laptop and a smartphone, from anywhere in the world…

But there’s a catch, or three!

Before I Even Knew What Home Business Was About, I Immediately Asked, “What’s The Catch”?

Well yes, there is a catch! In fact, there are a few:

1. It’s Not For Everybody:
   
   There are two types of people in this world. Those who think the glass is half empty, and those who think the glass is half full.
   
   So the catch is that anyone can “get in”, so there is a high failure rate. Same as in traditional business, 9 out of 10 businesses fail, and the business owner will blame anything else except themselves (bad economy, customers, location, etc.) for why the business failed. (I almost went down this path by the way).
   
   Also, most people have no business being in business. The reason is because the majority of people are “motivate-able”, (instead of self-motivated).
   
   Many others don’t even believe they can retire early or make a million dollars per year and it’s “too good to be true”, (but that’s only true for them because of that mindset!) lol
   
   
2. Closed-mindedness:
   
   Another big catch is that people are extremely skeptical run around making snap (un-educated) decisions. It’s not even their fault, we all do it!
   
   We say “no” before we even KNOW what we’re saying “no” to, and we’ve all been programmed to stick to what we know, because we don’t wanna have to “start from scratch”. 
   
   Other people just can’t take rejection. I was closed-minded and skeptical, so I thought everyone else was going to be closed-minded and skeptical.
   
   I was wrong.
   
   The truth is, the successful people I knew were always totally open-minded because they say yes to the information before they make their decision. This way they can make an educated decision! 
   
   People fear what they don’t know, and this can destroy your chances of success. So the key to success is to come OUT “of your “comfort zone” and make the unknown into the known!
   
   
3. You Have To THINK:
   
   I then found out that it is actually harder to be your own boss and own your life than it is to HAVE a boss!
   
   “What?” …  YES, here’s the hard love truth:
   
   It’s easier to have a boss who simply tells you what to do because you don’t really have to THINK!
   
   When you’re your own boss, you have to think and grow bigger than the problems and challenges that come up when you grow!
   
   Growth can be very uncomfortable, even painful sometimes, and if you’re not willing to grow into the person you need to be, then you will not attract the money that success comes along with the big challenges.
   
   Can you inspire yourself daily, or hourly, for free, to do things that are “uncomfortable”, even if you really don’t want to do them?
   
   Can you really get out of your “comfort zone” and learn what you have to learn without someone breathing down your neck or threatening to FIRE you if you don’t?
   
   The catch is, when you have a job, you motivation because you work from a space of fear…. the fear of being fired. 
   
   But when you have your own business, there’s no boss to “motivate” you, so you think you have a choice on whether you want to do the work or not! 
   
   And most entrepreneurs choose to avoid the “uncomfortable” work activities that make money come in! lol 

So yep, in my opinion, the best job in the world is working at home, where you decide your own hours, follow your passions and being creative, but do you really have what it takes?

Are you scared of failure, rejection, risk, or other people’s opinions? If you are, then entrepreneurship is not for you!

But Can You Step Toward Your Fears?

Imagine having total time freedom and monetizing your passions….

Imagine not having to wake up to an alarm clock, being able to “take the day off” any time YOU choose, with absolutely no notice!

Imagine no more boss, telling you when you can eat lunch, when you can go to the bathroom, or how much you are worth…

Imagine the limitless earning potential, with no “salary cap”, and making money while you sleep.

Have you ever woke up to open an email that told you that you had more money in the bank than you did yesterday or last night? I can’t tell you how blessed I feel. I so wish I could transfer this feeling into everyone. 

What Would You Sacrifice To Have The Best Job In The World?

Did you know:

You already possess the skills required to make generate multiple streams of income, from home, with a smart phone and a laptop?

But remember the catch:
Do you think you would make yourself get up and learn those uncomfortable”new” activities?

Would you give up watching TV at night after work? Would you listen to books on MP3 instead of the radio on your way home?

Would you sacrifice one Saturday or Sunday out of the month for the next 4 years?

Do you have a laptop? Do you use Facebook and already connect and talk to people? Do you have a YouTube channel? It only takes 5 minutes to set one up, and BAM, you have a channel for marketing products that will bring you in extra 24-hour streaming income…

For An Insane Recurring Income And Lifestyle, Would You Follow 10 Steps To Have The Best Job In The World?

Yes? Ok, well what about the even the WORST job in the world?

Like, seriously…
Would you shovel dog crap for 8 hours a day or clean dirty toilets for the next 4 years if you absolutely knew that you would generate a multiple six-figure recurring income?

If that answer is a YES, then now you’re getting the point. It’s never the right time to get “picky” if you don’t even know what it is yet! lol

See you on the next pages,

The World Is Yours, M!

If I didn’t “get it”, I was never going to be free.

It’s crazy to remember how I felt back in the day, when I used to think that working harder was the key.

My Dad always told me, “you gotta work HARD”, and I tried it for many painful years, living that  month-to-month struggle.

Even back then, it was the same story :

The dollar was depreciating, but nobody was getting significant raises. There were other people like me that had jobs, but were always broke, living paycheck-to-paycheck.

And still today, everyone is looking for supplemental income and many are going out and getting 2 and even 3 jobs, thinking that it’s going to change something.

Sadly, they have no idea they are actually working backward, by doubling and tripling their tax burden.

You’ve Heard The Same B.S.

Your parents told you, “If you just put your head down and work harder than others, you’ll win!”, but this isn’t the most accurate information.

The catch phrase “Financial Freedom” is thrown around a lot today, but pretty d*mn elusive for employees and the self-employed. I know, because I used to be there…

So, in this post, I’m going to reveal “5 Don’ts” that I have discovered, that keep most people struggling. This information has helped me get free from the every day stress and grind of doing “normal” daily things.

Now, if you’re ready to live outside of “the box”, I have a warning:

You’ll have to unlearn almost everything you’ve ever been taught about money and time. (Unless that is, you were raised by parents who are free, financially, with tons of quality time freedom.)

So here are 5 initial “NO NOs”, coming straight from the mouth of the mentors I’ve learned from, who are outside of the box and who are totally financially free.

Ready? GO!

1. DO NOT: Make un-educated decisions:

The majority of hard working month-to-month struggling employees have one thing in common:
They say “no” before they even know what they are saying “no” to.

Sometimes, business owners, (and even Home Business owners) also do the same thing, which keeps them struggling for time freedom.

The word “opportunity” in the United States is taken way too lightly, because there is so much of it flowing everywhere.

People in the U.S. take it for granted, but the foreigners know more about the ‘American Dream” than the we do!

It is absolutely insane that Americans think the American Dream is to “go to school and get a safe secure job, working for someone else, 40-50 hours/week for 40 years, and retire when you’re 65-70 years old! Haha!!

“And THEN you can travel the world and have time with your loved ones!” LOL!
Are you freaking kidding me?

On the other side, many people self-employed or have their own small business. It is a bit better than a job, but basically we only bought ourselves a job, and we are basically owned by our own business.

Now, I have had several traditional businesses, but it felt like I was married to them but couldn’t say I was in love with them.

I used to pass up great opportunities every day, because I thought I was “too busy”, and I stayed busy for way too many years until it became painful to be way from my kids and I had to open my mind to better ideas and possibilities.

Have you ever seen the poor horses downtown, pulling the carriage, with those “blinders” over their eyes, so they don’t get spooked? This is great metaphor for closed minds. —–>

We all would love to think we are open-minded, but then we walk around saying “no no, I’m not interested” to everything and anyone who approaches, (even if many of those offers could greatly benefit our lives or businesses, we wouldn’t know it, because we already said “not interested”!

This is actually not our fault, but, (because of the TV, radio, newspaper trying to sell us everything), we have been PROGRAMMED to say “not interested” to everybody and everything, making extremely uneducated decisions, without at least looking at the information to weigh the value of it and make an educated decision.. .

The challenge for most people is, this fast-paced world of new technology and innovation changes every day, and the only way to catch the wave is to be in front of it.

If you’re not open to the new information – (walking around like a zombie saying “not interested” thinking you already know what it is), you may always be in the dark, making un-educated decisions, missing growth windows and waves, causing you to struggle, month-to-month.

DO: Make educated decisions:
When opportunity knocks, or people approach, invest the time to discover any new information that may just benefit you.

2. DO NOT: Tell yourself stories:

When listening to people’s language patterns, mentors believe they can immediately tell if the person speaking will be successful or not.

You can either have doubt and excuses, (stories you tell yourself for why you’re not where you want to be), or you can be successful, but you can’t have both. Is your cup half empty or half full?

All day long, we talk out loud, and in our head, making up stories about why we are not where we would like to be in life, and giving meanings to things that happen to us. Most of us have no idea that we even do this.

Here’s the deal: It’s not what happens to you that matters. It’s the meaning you give to what happens to you.

You can either use is as a learning tool, (a stepping stone to grow stronger), or you can use it as an excuse and play victim. Are you going to continue to blame outside events for where you are, or are you going to own your life and take responsibility to change the outcome?

It’s called response-ability! You have the ability to respond, and create a different outcome the next time. I believe everything happens for a reason, and it is to build you into the person you needed to be, in order to help others break through the same barriers and patterns.

Break your bad patterns and limiting beliefs, and you will change your life. No more stories! You want to be successful, but life doesn’t give you what you want – it gives you what your deserve.

DO: Invest in yourself and do whatever it takes to change your situation, so you will be in the position – (a knowing space) – to be able to help others break the barriers that used to hold you back. The amount of money you make in this world is directly proportionate to how valuable you become to others in the market place.

3. DO NOT: “Stare in the rear view mirror”:

Have you failed before? Have you seen others fail? Are you scared of even taking the risk again, for fear you might fail again?

So, what if you looked in the rear-view mirror the whole time you tried to drive forward down the freeway? You wouldn’t get very far.

If you’ve ever had a very bad experience at a restaurant, did it keep you from ever eating again or trying other restaurants? It’s a good thing that didn’t stop you from eating, right?

So why would you do that with business ideas – paralyzed with fear just because of your past experience, (or worse), the experience of someone else?

Why would you insist wasting thought energy on re-living your bad experience and basing your future success on past experience of others?

Yes, it is fine to be skeptical, but do you consider yourself educated? Intelligent forward thinking entrepreneurs know that you must keep your mind open, always looking forward to new opportunity, and look to make educated decisions.

If you know someone who has failed in the past, don’t let it keep you from keeping your eyes open, looking forward.

DO:  Look FORWARD toward your big dreams. Look for future, ideas, and opportunity. Assume it will work and visualize the best outcome! Do whatever it takes, and NEVER QUIT. Remember: 95% of people quit on their dreams, but 100% of people that don’t quit, make it!

4.DO NOT: Be a “Laggard”:

Take a look at the percentages of different categories of adopters. Now think about all of the new technology and innovation that comes out every day. Which type of person are you?

a. Are you the “crazy” innovator that has all the ideas? Do you ACT on those ideas? The innovators are a many times a bit “too early” and everyone thinks they’re “crazy”… at first!
This makes it more difficult. Many times the market “wasn’t ready”. If they don’t quit on a great idea, it ends up moving forward. This is a very hard category to be in but pays off huge with persistence, fine tuning, and massive action. OR,

b. Are you an early adopter that stays open-minded to be in front of the wave? These ones are the ones who make a lot of the money in shorter amounts of time and energy. Hesitate, and you miss the wave. OR,

c. Are you an Early Majority type of person that hesitates until “it’s more safe”? Sometimes this means making less money because the window of opportunity has almost passed. OR,

d. What about a Late Majority type of person, following the heard, that only does it when it’s “completely safe”, never taking risks, jumping in after “everyone else” does. Would there be much opportunity there? OR,

e. Finally, are you a Laggard that finally breaks down, the last one to buy the VCR player, even though the DVD player is already for sale…

DO: Be an Innovator and/or an Early Adopter:

When there’s an opportunity and it makes sense, JUMP ON IT, and take massive and immediate action to be in front of the wave! If you have a fear, run straight toward it. Timing is EVERYTHING in business, especially if you want to catch and ride the waves. If you don’t do it, there’s always someone else who will. I’ve witnessed it over and over and over in my life.

5. DO NOT: Put your hand out:

But don’t get the wrong idea! Instead, put your hand UP, and reach up for help!

Personally I looked for mentorship from people who have been through it all.

The “employee mindset” is where you put their hand out, taking no risk but asking for money.

Their relationship with money makes them think they need the money “now”, which is why they look for a paycheck every two weeks.

This is why as an employee, I always felt like I was at the bottom, working hard to build the dream of someone else and complaining that I never get paid what I’m worth! 

On the other hand, the entrepreneurs invest their money and time and learn the delayed gratification. They know you have to take the risk to get the reward.

I heard someone say the other day, “I just want to find something where I don’t have to spend any money, where I can have financial security”. I said, “you’ll be looking for a loooooong time!”

There’s no security in a J.O.B.

In fact, it’s risky – you’re not in control of your income and can be laid off any time someone else chooses. 

The only way to have any real freedom and security, is to start your own business.

The ones who seek “safe secure” jobs are the ones who are in DANGEROUS situations, one check away from bankruptcy and the whole family being out on the street.

I personally believe that the only safe secure thing you can have is multiple streams of income and solid business assets, run by proven systems – economy proof!

So…

DO:
Invest time and money into yourself.

Take the risk to get the reward.

Take action NOW! If you’re too scared to let go of your money, you’ll always play defense.

Instead of playing “not to lose”, play to WIN. Play offense, and let’s get you WINNING the money game…

Can’t wait to hear your story..

Talk soon, much love,
The World Is Yours, M!

Feeling stuck? Here’s a few reasons why, and how to fix it.

There I was, again, stuck with a broken down car, no emergency funds to get my car repaired.

I didn’t have money for insurance either, so I could work, delivering pizza. Fired immediately.. LOL

It wasn’t funny then, but I can crack jokes and be real about this (now), because I used to be stuck too.

Nothin like busting your ass to make someone else rich hey?! Fewff. 

And that’s not the only mistake I see people making these days… so I’m gonna hit a few things that helped me escape from the corporate pyramid/triangle business structure…

Growing up, I didn’t know any millionaires. I hadn’t yet read any wealth books. None of my family was well off, so I had some pretty serious limiting beliefs.

I never really thought to ask myself if the source of the information I was getting was actually credible.

I kinda just did what I was told…

“Go to school, get a safe secure job”… where you simply trade your time for money, stuck in a business model that is designed to push you down and keep you down.

Why Did I Just Sit There In That Corporate Triangle For So Long?

3 Reasons: 

1. Saying “NO”:

I remember working really hard, but (accidentally) being closed-minded to new “different” ideas.

I was that type of person who said “no” before I even knew what I was saying “no” to! 

I was being a “norm”, trading my time for a certain amount of money – they call it linear income. (I didn’t find out until later what “linear income” meant!)

And none of us want to admit it, but we think we “already know”… so if you’re thinking, “yeah yeah I know”… then make sure to keep reading… lol 

Because when “opportunity” presents itself, but you don’t take the time to look at new information, (that you would need to make an EDUCATED decision), then you can’t ever be “at the right place at the right time“.

Hard truth is…. most people cheat themselves out of opportunity every single day… so stop saying “no”. 

2. Shrinking Your Dreams To Match Your Income

We all had the biggest dreams when we younger…

Then “reality” hit. We finally had to go and get a normal job or small business to make ends meet.

Then we plan our lives around this income. 

Then, you have to shrink your dreams to match the income. 

BUT…

What if you could add another significant channel of income into your life without sacrificing family time? 

And what if you were to KEEP a lot more of this new income money you make by discovering how to get your taxes down to a legal minimum?

Knowing how to do this (the right way) absolutely changes your life.  

3. FEAR of the “UNKNOWN”

The power of our subconscious… it makes us “stick to what we know”.

Once we have found a “safe” route, we stay there because it’s familiar – kinda like how deer create deer trails. 

The horrifying part is, once a deer creates a deer trail, this is most dangerous route of all, because now the predators know where to find you! lol 

And if you think about it, a “safe and secure” job is not really safe … AT ALL!

It’s actually very dangerous to be in a position where someone else has absolute control of your income, and any time they decide, you’re fired or laid-off.

Did you know that the average family is only 1-2 checks away from Bankruptcy?

Thanks to Covid, everyone has now realized that having their own home business is great solution, and supplemental income is now a mega-trend!

So, here we go…

Empowering Questions To Get Yourself Out Of The Corporate Job Pyramid Scheme

Many will not be able to escape this “corporate triangle” situation because of that “comfort zone“.

Here are some self-empowering questions: 

– “WHY should I take control of my own life and future?”

– “What’s important to me? What would I DIE for?” (If you have a strong reason why, you’ll figure out the how).

– “If I keep doing what I’m doing now, am I going to have financial or time freedom in the next 4-5 years?” (If not, then shouldn’t you work on a vehicle that will get me to financial and time freedom?)

– “Now, when would be a good time to take the next step?” (Notice I squeezed the word “now” in there?)

Understand Where The Pain And Struggle Is From

I used to be an employee. I felt like a slave. You start at the bottom, trying to work your way up  a corporate ladder, making other people rich, stuck in the absolute worst tax bracket.

By law, every company must make a profit, which means :

Even if the owner wanted to pay the employees what they deserve, the company always pays the employee the least amount of money for the most amount of work, so they can make profit. 

This is designed to PUSH YOU DOWN. 

You sit there taking orders from shmucks, being told how much you’re worth, when you can go eat lunch, and when you can’t take your kids to Disneyland.

Even when I was finally self-employed, I was in the same (linear income) boat.

Basically all I did was bought myself a job!

Still month-to-month, still a slave to money. If you stop working, you stop getting paid… Painful.

If you don’t figure out how to make money while you sleep, you’ll be working til you’re DEAD.

You see, you’ve already done the old school traditional corporate pyramid business model and you now see where that got you.

A whole lot of work and you’re seeing you still nothing to show for it.

It is a matter of working hard in stagnant traditional business with risky liabilities vs. leveraged asset building with businesses that grow exponentially.

It is also knowing the difference between linear income vs. recurring or passive income. Leveraged income has the ability to create a quality of life. More work done with less time consumption. (TIME if more valuable than any money).

Then it becomes more about purpose and passion, spreading knowledge and education, paying it forward. If you have ever felt how that feels – when you help or bless someone’s life, then you understand how addicting it can be.

I had very strong reasons, (like the need to be around my kids), to get open-minded to better ideas.

Eventually I gained a bit of success, learning about royalties and launching many businesses. As my small businesses grew, I quickly realized I was owned by my traditional small businesses. They demanded all of my time.

The responsibilities of overhead, mortgage, insurance, employees, paperwork, etc., took away the quality time with my kids, and it took me away from my traveling and hobbies.

I didn’t have a system running my business. I WAS the system. Huge problem to wrap my head around! In order to come up with a solution for a problem, you have to admit you even have one!

I was in a linear equation. The more “successful” I got, the more BUSY I was. I had money, but I had no time. What kind of life is that?

If you have a business, you know. It sucks to be owned by a job or your business where you can’t  be with your kids whenever you want. I realized I was always saying “I’m too busy” to all of the people I cared about.

A mentor friend finally helped me admit to myself…
“Drop your ego, get courageous, and open your mind to learn something NEW, or you will not create change, and things will stay the same.” … and …. “If you want to learn, stop talking. Just LISTEN to the information and logic.”

Another huge mentor of mine said,
“If you already knew how to create money and time abundance, you would already be there….
and..
“In order to have something you’ve never had before, you must LEARN to DO what you’ve never done before.”

I slowly learned that you can’t learn anything if you think you already “know it all”.

They said, “Stop caring about what unsuccessful people say when they try to tear you down, and simply think about your kids and the things that matter.

Doubters and skeptics will still be there in the same place in 20 years, still doubting, still working in their old age like the other 95% of them.

Stop taking business advice from broke people. If you want to get FREE financially, build a way out – assets in your spare time, so you can (ease out) of what enslaves you.”

It really does pay to be open minded and take the different path. Most people have no idea how costly it is to do the “normal” go to school to get a job route.

Did you know:
95% of people will be either dead or dead-broke at the age of 65.

Last thing to think about when taking advice:
If you were having issues with your spouse and you wanted to keep the relationship, should YOU really take relationship advice from that friend who’s been divorced 4 times and is currently single? Should you listen to their opinion when they have no good results in that area? NO.
So why would you take business advice from unsuccessful people, and do what they do?!

If you want to continue to get what they’ve got, keep doing the “normal” thing, and you’ll get what they get. There’s nothing wrong with that.

But if you look around to see that what you (or they) have been doing has not been working, you must get open to different ideas.

Either way, every minute, you choose what kind of life you’ll have in the future.

I’m thankful I had valuable mentor friends that went out of their way to teach me how to achieve the life I wanted.

If you believe in growth and abundance, always TAKE A LOOK so you have the information you need to make an educated decision.

Welcome to your journey.

Ever Wonder HOW Some People Seem To Be So “LUCKY “, (While *Smart People Stay Struggling)?

Ok, so I have a few friends that are super duper smart…

But they’re BROKE. 

You know anyone like that? You’re probably thinking of some of those people right now, hey? lol

I mean they’re seriously way smarter than I am, but they actually live paycheck-to-paycheck and have absolutely NO PLAN.

WHY? 

Glad you asked, lol…

Every day, I see so many intelligent people waiting around for their “lucky break” ,, as if something lucky is going to magically fall into their lap.

They scroll Social Media and stay entertained on weekends, but never really actively invest the time or money to discover how luck really “works”.

They spend more time planning their weekends and other people’s Christmas gifts than they do planning their own FUTURE!

Did you know:

Most people have actually been at the “right place at the right time“, but they failed to take massive and immediate action.

And yes they regret it, but then guess what?

They go and make the same mistakes, ever day, over and over again! 

Saying “no”, before they even KNOW what they’re saying “no” to! 

Luck For Poor People vs. “Luck” For Successful People

Let’s start with poor-minded people:

Luck for poor-minded people is when they find a $20 bill on the floor. That’s about the best it’s ever gonna get for them.

The good news for me and you however, is that there’s a difference between being poor and being broke. 

Broke can be temporary, but POOR is forever. 

Yes, it’s a CHOICE that people make, every second of their lives.

Do you CHOOSE to stay the same, with poor beliefs, thoughts, actions, habits, character and decisions, or do you choose CHANGE? 

Here’s what most people do….

Most people won’t admit it, but they simply “stick to what they’re doing”. (Even when what they’ve been doing has not worked!)

For these people, there is no “right place right time”, because they don’t like change, (because it’s “uncomfortable”, and they don’t take risks….

So they don’t take action! 

Ok so what can one do?

Well, what if you were to look 5-10 years into the future and look for new TRENDS?

If you can see a trend coming, you can get in front of a big wave and you’ll have time to practice, train and be prepared when it comes!

And what do poor people do?

They whine, complain, and tell stories of why they didn’t, and in the very next sentence they call the prepared ones “lucky”!

So, Here’s HOW We’re “Lucky”, Every Single Time

When preparedness met opportunity :

Here’s the point:

I used to be poor.

It’s never the right time for poor people, because they always have a story why they’re not where they want to be.

I remember always telling myself stories like, “yeah, maybe I’ll act on it when I have more money” or “right after I get my bills paid, I’ll get around to it”.

And “Tomorrow” never comes.

Poor-minded people constantly make poor CHOICES, especially when it counts.

When “opportunity” is presented right before their eyes, over and over and over again, they come up with excuses, fear, and limiting beliefs, and say “I’ll think about it”. 

I did that too with Apple back in the day. And that was why I was poor. 

I don’t know how many times I said, “Yeah, I’m gonna invest, but not right now – it’s not the right time!” LOL

Yep…

Because It’s Never The Right Time For Poor People!

If You Want Security, Then A “Safe Secure Job” Will Keep You In A Maximum Security Prison

Today a friend made me laugh, asking, “yeah, but have you ever heard a hamster complain?“

It made me remember a valuable story, a perfect analogy, (and where most people are stuck today).

Our Mouse Adventure

A couple years ago we heard some “scratching around” in our house.

We looked around that night and I ended up catching these 3 baby mice (still half slow, because they were babies. If they were adult mice, we could have NEVER caught them!) 

We immediately enslaved them in a hamster cage/aquarium with a Hamster wheel in it.

They were so freaked out at first that they wouldn’t do anything except hide under the bedding – the captivity was such a shock for them.

They were depressed for a while. They wouldn’t eat, drink, or play – only hide, in shock, their freedom taken away.

I felt a little guilty for taking away their freedom, but I also wanted to keep them for a while, for entertainment!

They didn’t want anything to do with the hamster wheel at first, but then they slowly “settled in”.

After a short while, the mice warmed up to their new environment, accepting what life gave them.

Soon they “gave up” and forgot about their old life – (freedom).

They then discovered the hamster wheel, and played, and “enjoyed their life” again, in total captivity!

They were actually super funny to watch in that wheel, as they “blossomed” in their new “enslaved” environment!

*Since we’re on this subject – Have you ever seen Zeitgeist videos? Your mind will be BLOWN!

Anyway, this is exactly what “The Fed” (who own the Central Banks), and “The Elite”groups, (who control our government and all of the sheep), have done to most Americans and people around the world.

Here in America, we have been programmed to think the American Dream is to “go to school, get good grades, so we can have a safe  secure J.O.B.”, making someone else rich and paying our taxes – slaves to money until we die.

You’ll understand when you watch the clip below: 

Really…?

Yes, go to work and back, be a slave to money, many people building OTHER people’s dreams instead of our OWN. 

We are programmed to be trading almost all of our time for linear income.

Should we really give our tax money up before we even get our checks, (without even knowing the tax laws), so “they” can live the most extraordinary lives of freedom, while we work hard every day to pay them?

Our willingness to “be like everybody else” and “do what everybody else does” keeps us enslaved to taxes & money – in other words, “NORMAL”.

If you’re a hamster, you are born having no idea about a different life you could have had…. UNLESS someone cared enough to let you out of the cage, exposing you to a TASTE of FREEDOM.

If a “free” mouse is put into a cage, it is actively searching for ways of getting FREE again, (by getting on TOP of the hamster wheel and USE it to try to push the top of the cage up with their nose and stuff like that!).

There is actually HOPE for us entrepreneur types that actively SEARCH for opportunities of freedom, and we never truly give up.

It is almost like we are addicted to the search!

If you ever notice in the pet shop, the ones that don’t move around much and look depressed, are the ones that do not know or “believe” that there is freedom out there.

“Security” Vs. FREEDOM

If you ever want to achieve any type of real freedom, financially, you must realize that a J.O.B. is like the human hamster wheel – designed to push you DOWN, paying you the least amount of money for the most amount of work, for LINEAR income.

You can either “settle” for “safe secure” job (because it is really like a MAXIMUM SECURITY PRISON)…  

OR…

You can USE the job to make the money to build yourself a real business.

I have never seen anybody become wealthy from a wage or salary. 

You are not supposed to “keep” a job, you are supposed to USE a job to come up with the MONEY to collect and build ASSETS that appreciate and bring you in money whether you work or not.

I’m not sure about you, but I will NEVER have someone tell me how much I’m worth, or being in control of how much money I can make, or WHEN I can visit my family.

HOW to achieve Financial Security to get OFF of the human hamster wheel.

Like most people in the beginning of their journey, (myself included), you probably don’t even know where to start.

I’ve created a video series that will help you “step out of the cage” and get a taste for what is out there for you.

I Used To Wake Up In A Pretty Bad Mood

I mean seriously, not a good feeling. It’s no way to live…

Even as a professional snowboarder, I would have to wake up before I was done sleeping, (before the sun comes up and before my kids were even awake), and I was pretty bummed about it.

This was my daily routine before I had the sense enough to ask a mentor friend some advice.

As I asked the questions, a few of them took the time to show me “how to make money while you sleep” and my wheels started turning.  

I thought I’d share a post about it, because once you realize the power of building business assets and growing teams of leadership that span around the world, you can’t un-realize it! 

Gotta say, I’m feeling pretty fucking blessed right now.

But it wasn’t easy… 

Not Just A Catchy Phrase

Making money while you sleep is not even the right wording.

Because when I’m sleeping and the money is coming in, it’s not like I’m actively working to make the money at that time – I’m sleeping! 

I mean yes, you have to be dead-serious and consistent, investing the time and effort to build yourself a real business, but self-growth is fun and you can make your own schedule! 

And once you’ve grown a business with a system that works for you 24-7, your income is automatically generated, so you literally wake up in a state of euphoria, grateful, with multiple sources of income.

Imagine that… 

A financial fortress around you and your family that nothing can penetrate. This is how you sleep comfortably. 

Not to mention the fact that you if you hate alarm clocks, you can choose to wake up when you’re DONE sleeping – THAT was always my ultimate goal! 

Oh and one more thing:

It’s not only about the money, but you have more freedom to do whatever the hell you want, ALL DAY LONG. 

Here’s the part where I (also) said, “YEAH RIGHT”…. “Is that even possible?”

Yes, here’s HOW: 

Do you realize that when you’re asleep, somebody on the other side of the world is purchasing something online, so you can literally have commission checks waiting for you every day when you wake up?  

Geez, wouldn’t YOU feel more energized to get up? Would you feel like sharing what you discovered?

This is what happens when you realize how simple it is to make that happen for yourself…

However, this is not the “normal” way you’ve been taught to make money, so it’s out of your “comfort zone”…

You’re gonna to have to suspend your disbelief for a moment to wrap your head around this.

“Financial Freedom”

It’s a real catchy phrase these days, but it’s (still) extremely elusive to most, because of your “normal” programming.

They told you, “Go to school, learn a skill, so you can utilize your skills at a safe & secure job, working hard until you’re 65 or 70 years old”.

“THEN”, they said, (when you’re old, achy and too tired to want to do anything), “you can travel the world and have quality time with your family!”

They Told You To Do It, But Who Is “THEY”? 

I finally sat down and got coached to gain clarity on what I really wanted in my life, and it it turns out that real freedom would be impossible with any “normal” job or small business.   

And don’t just believe me, (I’m already bias), but just look around….  you’ll realize:

95% of our friends and family work hard to pay taxes, through their better years, never learning about the paradigm-shifting concept of leverage or passive recurring income.

Now, if you’re like I was, you shy away from anything new or different.

We all initially think “that’s not for me“, because it’s uncomfortable to have to go out and learn something new or reinvent yourself.

A mentor once told me, “growth is most definitely uncomfortable, and sometimes even painful, but it is so damn worth it.” …… especially when it comes to making money while you sleep!

Your Ego Tries To Keep You STUCK

Most of us have an ego and it doesn’t like to be “wrong”…

So initially, you might not want to admit that what you’re currently doing for work is NOT getting you where you want to go, but you stay there, STUCK.

I “Already Know”About How To Make Money While I Sleep

I know what goes through many people’s minds, because I used to think and feel the same way.

I thought I already knew the path, but I wasn’t WALKING the path.

I was making tons of money and everyone else thought I was “successful”, but I didn’t feel successful because I didn’t have time freedom.

I didn’t want to start from scratch and have to learn “new concepts” or ideas, but I had to start somewhere…

Later I learned the new concepts and strategies would ultimately set me free. I just wish I wouldn’t have waited so long.

It’s funny how we all do things that we know are not working, but we sit there in what we call “quiet desperation”. Don’t do it ANY LONGER. 

Every Day Matters

The longer it takes, the more painful your regrets (and realizations) are, later on…

So here’s the cold, hard, simple truth that my mentor friends told me:

Linear income means you have to work to make the money, but then you have to work AGAIN to make the money… it’s like running in a hamster wheel.

A different or better job will get you exactly the same results.

As an employee, you are taxed so heavily that you will never get ahead.

When you do get a “raise”, it always comes more responsibilities and more taxes to pay – you’ll have even less freedom.

You end up trading the most valuable hours of your life for depreciating dollars – (especially with today’s inflation).

And sooner or later, you realize that it’s not the money that you are looking for : 

What you’re looking for is the freedom and quality of life that money gets you.

There is no freedom in a job. It will forever keep you far away from your other passions.

Now yes, if you love what you do, that is success, but like my friend Scott says :

“If when you stop working, you stop getting paid, then you’re a slave to money and you’re not free.”

Anthony Robbins says, “Success is about being able to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want.”

In my experience, he’s telling the truth:

In fact, I learned that it is actually worse to be “successful” in traditional small business, because the more “successful” my businesses grew, the more busy I was, meaning I had less time freedom.

I made tons of money, but had no life.

I was a professional, (so because of my specialized skills, I could not duplicate myself, so nobody was able to take my place.

If I stopped working, I stopped getting paid. 

(Hmm, that’s the same as a JOB, isn’t it?)

I felt like a slave, owned by my businesses – linear income – (same as my jobs in the earlier days). It demanded all of my time, money, and energy.

I was always the last one to be paid, after all of the taxes, employees, and overhead was paid.

Why Making Money While You Sleep Is More Important Than You Think

Making money while you sleep is mandatory if you like freedom, traveling, being outdoors, or if you have kids.

When I was younger, my parents weren’t around as much as they wanted to be, because they had to work all day.

I got in ridiculous amounts of trouble because my Dad wasn’t there to discipline me. He worked in another state.

My Mom was highly educated, but could not find a job for what she graduated for. She ended up being a used car saleswoman. Their hours are 9am to 10:30pm.

I never saw her. She had to work to support us.

I know many fathers that feel like they support their family, but they don’t get to see their family as much as they would like. 

Twenty-four seven leveraged recurring income is your solution. It’s the only thing wealthy people invest their time into.

They do not teach their kids to “go to school, so you can have a safe secure job”.

They think outside the box. They teach their (C student) kids how to HIRE the (A student) kids!

They create quality time for their kids, and use smarter business “vehicles” to achieve the life of their dreams.

Wealthy people with time abundance follow proven and automated systems for making 24-7 leveraged income.

“Systems” meaning well-oiled proven step-by-step plans that work….every time, all the time!

They are proven solutions for YOU, and if you work them, they work. And ultimately you’ll have a system running your business instead of YOU running the business!

I remember one of my mentors telling me:

“The ONLY reason you are NOT making a 6-figure income is because nobody has ever gone out of their way to educate you on a proven, step-by-step system, or you’d be there already!”

Last few important things I had to ask myself:

“Is what I am doing right now going to get me what I want in next 4-5 years?”

“Is what I’m doing right now even working?”
