. . . school and "set off to change the world", I wish someone had told me about the difference in "passive" and "active" income. This is radical stuff to some people, but it may just SEEM radical because they are in the same mind trap I was in.

You see, I believed my Mom and my teachers when they said that the best way to get ahead was to go to college, make good grades, get a degree and I'd be set for life. Well, the fact is, less than 50% of people who start college finish, and of those who do actually graduate with a degree, less than 15% of them go on to a career in their field of study. Talk about a shocker!

Reality is far, far away from that fairy tale. Some of the smartest people I know are flat broke AND in debt! And some of the least educated people are the most successful, and not just financially, but in other areas in their life, too. Had I only known THEN what I know NOW.

Don't get me wrong. I am not a doom-and-gloomer. A person could become that way when life smacks them around, but the winners take each struggle as a lesson and they go forward with the lessons learned from the past. Quitters never win, and winners never quit, and I've just chosen to keep getting back up and moving forward. I look at "stats", not as depressive, but as more windows into reality that can help me learn.

For example, studies have shown that over 70% of people have thought about having a business of their own, but only about 5% of people own a business. Why such a difference? There must be a lot of people out there looking but they can't find what they're looking for.

Anyone who has gone that route knows that there are way too many promises of riches being made and far, far too few real opportunities. If you are numb to all the offers of getting rich, you are not alone! In my 13+ years in networking, I've seen many would-be business owners struggle while so-called leaders with their hidden agendas keep their secrets to themselves.

Here's an example of what "They" say being parrotted around the web as though it were the gospel in business, yet it's not. Have you ever had anyone say that you have to focus on one business? If that's true, then why is it that every rich person I know is diversified? ... someone teaching THEIR agenda instead of what it takes to help OTHERS.

I believe in the pure concept of networking, i.e. if I help others FIRST, then I'll make money, too. Our websites are about sharing our marketing methods for creating income, and for all business partners, not just ourselves.

Making money is not hard but it's not free either. It requires action AND making the right decisions. Some people are good at taking action, i.e. they do the work but they make the wrong decisions. I have the T-shirt wardrobe on this! And I'm proof that if you take enough action, and do it long enough that you will eventually get it right, if by no other method than by trial and error!

There is a better way, and that's part of what we intend to share with our websites and team. There is also the crowd of people who make the right decisions but they don't take enough action.

It's when you do the work and make the right choices, that's when success comes to you. If you are looking for programs that make sense and you would like some real people to talk to about it, I think you'll be glad you found us.

I don't have all the answers, but I have enough of the pieces of the puzzle to have been job free since Nov 2000. That's not unusual, and I'm not bragging. My point is not just that I have the knowledge to achieve that, but that I'm willing to share that in a honest way with those who seek it.

You are invited to continue on with your reading at the links on our sites. And if you find yourself nodding in agreement with much of the material here, then we look forward to helping you join us on the path to financial independence.
