I asked a group of life insurance salespeople whom I was training on behalf of a well-known bank if they could possibly double their sales within the next three months.

Naturally, they all replied that it would be impossible. Then I asked them,

“If your family was held captive and (I named a celebrity with a reputation for violence) was to show up with a shotgun and tell you he would kill your entire family if you didn’t double your sales in three months, could you do it now?”

First, they sheepishly (I feel that adverb is most apt) admitted that, given that level of urgency and motivation, they could definitely double their sales, then they reported me to their bosses for being politically incorrect and “upsetting them”.

I fired the bank as a client – I don’t do business with clients who prefer low productivity to honesty.

Being Exposed and Challenged

Why did they immediately attack me?

Why release their pent up, festering, passive aggression?

Why not be grateful to realize that they could, indeed, double their sales? A producer would certainly not have responded in this manner. Here’s why:

1. The slothful sluggards had to immediately divert attention from the fact that their ineptitude and low productivity had been revealed, and that they would now be responsible, having admitted the possibility, for doubling their sales. That new level of production would mean they would have to confront issues in their lives, forego their weak excuses, change their behavior, and do uncomfortable things in order to get better results. And they wanted to avoid that at all costs. Tall trees catch the wind, and when a loser doesn’t like what he sees in the mirror, he smashes the mirror.
2. Anyone exposing a parasite for what he is becomes the enemy of the parasite. In spite of the fact that I was just doing my job, which was getting more production out of these so-called sales professionals, and that I was indeed helping them shift their paradigm in order for them to earn higher commissions, they chose to attack me. I was doing my job too well! They wanted to be motivated and congratulated, not exposed and challenged. I was putting the status quo in jeopardy.
3. Misdirection is used by magicians and politicians alike. Political correctness is the poisoned tip of the spears of socialism, statism, and collectivism. It is the tool of the mystics and the politicians.

The Same Amount of Work Could Be Done With Half the Employees

Years ago, I was a Work Study Officer in a government department, a job I grabbed to put some money in the bank after a nasty divorce.

I was ordered to conduct an organization and methods examination of a large typing pool, and the result of my work was my suggestion that half the bureaucrat typists be summarily fired, and that the same amount of work could be done with half the employees.

I was called into my boss’s office and told to withdraw my report immediately. After all, these people had families to feed – they were the friends and family of many of the people in the Work Study department, and they needed those jobs!

Three months later, I resigned, started my own business and never worked for a boss again. That was nearly twenty-three years ago.

Political correctness is what Ayn Rand refers to as “Collectivized Ethics” in her book, “The Virtue of Selfishness”, written in 1967, and more relevant today than ever before:

“Hence the appalling recklessness with which men propose, discuss and accept ‘humanitarian’ projects. ‘Medicare’ is an example of such a project. ‘Isn’t it desirable that the aged should have medical care in times of illness?’ Considered out of context, the answer would be: yes, it is desirable. And it is at this point that the mental processes of a collectivized brain are cut off; the rest is fog. The fog hides such facts as the enslavement and, therefore, the destruction of medical science, the regimentation and disintegration of all medical practice, and the sacrifice of the professional integrity, the freedom, the careers, the ambitions, the achievements, the happiness, the lives of the very men who are to provide that ‘desirable’ goal – the doctors.”

The 2012 Misdirection

Right now, many people are becoming enthralled with the new movie, “2012 – An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world”.

The 2012 doomsday belief suggests that the Mayans foretold the end of the world at this time and, since the world is ending, there is no need to continue counting days or making calendars past that point.

Think about it – isn’t it a lot easier to discuss the end of the world than taking responsibility for your daily life? Wouldn’t moochers and looters prefer to focus on something vague in the future, rather than admitting that they are failing miserably in the present? Misdirection.

The Ugly Truth For “Politically Correct”

The most dangerous people are the politically correct. They are the snakes and the back-biters, and they represent the majority of people today. They squirm in their seats when I mention the word, “loser”, because they know they’re losers. They bristle when I state the fact that we’re fat, not because we’re retaining water, not because of hormones or our metabolism, but because we won’t put the fork down.

The smokers seethe when I tell them they stink. And when I say that Obama is a socialist, they tremble with fear and indignation. I tell it like it is, and I don’t give a damn what anyone says or thinks. If they won’t rock the boat, I certainly will. Turkeys pretending to be eagles are no threat to real eagles.

The reason for being “politically correct” is to redistribute wealth from the producers and creators to the parasites and the lazy. It is to deflect responsibility and hide reality, and to allow the looters to steal with impunity. Be aware – Atlas will shrug, and is already doing so.

Here’s a true story and how you can do the same – with all the assistance, guidance, and templates you need – FREE.

No selling, no cost, no risk – it doesn’t get better than this!

“Your Sense of Scarcity is Showing, Sir!”

It’s been called a “Shrinking Pie” mentality – the doubt and desperation that accompany a feeling of deficiency and shortage.

People with this fearful, often spiteful, suspicious demeanor have a very different approach from those who embrace abundance, expect success, innovate, and generously share.

But those with this debilitating disposition are not simply harmless pessimists – they’re actually dangerous, subtle saboteurs. Why?

An Ounce of Doubt is Like a Drop of Poison

– a portion of rot. Sowing tiny seeds of doubt through a simple facial expression, a few well-chosen words, a hesitant response, a reluctance to proceed, the tendency toward compromise, and greed are all hallmarks of the sharks of scarcity.

These people are bad news for enterprising entrepreneurs. They usually hide secret agendas and fall-back plans, keep back doors open, and easily team up with your enemy behind your back, “just in case”.

Worst of all, they love claiming the unearned and specialize in riding on one’s coat tails.

These are the Parasites of the World

• The looters and moochers who cheer loudly when their Comrade Obama promises (and delivers, I’m sad to say) the redistribution of wealth.
• They’re terrified of being “left out”, even when they have done nothing to earn inclusion, and they are the first to drop their prices and lower their standards to make a quick buck – usually at the expense of someone else’s reputation.
• They want to work less and earn more – hence their adoration on labor unions. They love titles and accolades, though usually unearned, and bask in the glory of the producers and creators, their own impotence and poisonous pessimism carefully hidden.
• They are quick to call the ideas of the champions “Pollyanna”, yet they want the credit when these ideas work. They are the “Wait and See,” “I’ll think about it” people of the world.
• They  are the slothful, aimless, adult children who are just waiting for their Baby Boomer parents to die, so they can inherit easy money. They will squander and lose it, of course, but they don’t know that.
• They are the friends and relatives who show up at family gatherings empty handed, “forget” their wallets when the bills arrive in restaurants, and hide away like cockroaches when they fail to repay their debts to you.
• They are those who promise the world, talk a lot, pose and parade, but produce virtually nothing.
• They are cheap, stupid, and dangerous.

In her wonderful and enlightening book, “Atlas Shrugged”, Ayn Rand’s parasite characters are Wesley Mouch, Lillian Reardon, James Taggart, and Reardon’s mother and brother.

Having Pegged a Parasite, How to Proceed:

There is only one way to protect your baby child from a staving wolf – SHOOT the wolf. And if you can’t shoot the wolf, grab your baby and get out of there.

Do NOT:

1. Sit down to negotiate with the wolf.
2. Discuss your different philosophies over a cup of warm blood.
3. Compromise –

“OK, Mr. Wolf, how about you just bite one of my baby son’s hands off, and then I take him home – does that work for you?”

Sounds like government taxation to me – much like the Mafia.

The politically correct will set up meetings with terrorists, and a parasite is, in fact, a type of terrorist. Invite him in to your home (or country), and he will bring his terrorist friends.

Don’t be polite to pirates – blow them out of the water.

The Good News:

The good news is that if you are a producer and creator of value, you don’t need the parasites – they need you. Hence taxes.

You can move on to greener fields and create your own virtual Galt’s Gulch. If you’re Atlas, carrying the world of parasites, you can shrug. And you should.

1. You will prosper without parasites.
2. Your profits will proliferate.
3. You will have peace of mind and you will think clearly.

Break free from the putrefying, poisonous parasites, and prosper.

I recently tweeted this: “As recession shrinks the official economy, the informal one is growing. http://bit.ly/55zJrt “- a very interesting article, and easily understood by many immigrants, but not by the average local.

I lived in Africa for 45 years – I understand the underground economy – the “black market” – the alternative, informal economy. Ask yourself why so many Chinese stores accept “Cash Only” or why so many people run their businesses only within their own ethnic community. Do you think people who run flea market booths all pay taxes?

In a world where socialism is growing by leaps and bounds, headed up by Comrade Obama and his gang, and the government resembles the Mafia more and more, it’s no big surprise to me that people are waking up. The banks are simply a giant, legal Ponzi Scheme. (Read Kiyosaki’s Conspiracy of the Rich.)

Trading and Bartering

I lived and worked in Rhodesia (later Zimbabwe) during the war there for the year of 1979 on a contract as a manager for Holiday Inns.

Serious sanctions imposed by South Africa and England were crippling the economy by design. (South Africa reaped what it sowed in due time, and England is in a worse state than the US – the chickens have come home to roost.)

We traded everything from foreign exchange to

• gold,
• diamonds,
• antiques,
• gasoline coupons,
• foreign exchange,
• whiskey,
• shellfish,
• cutlery,
• and cooking oil,
• knitting machines
• and hotel rooms.

I traded my house for a Ford Escort when I left. When I meet some of the “Trade and Barter Experts” here, I just chuckle quietly to myself – they have no idea how far this can, and does go.

An Attack on Capitalism

In an increasingly Collectivist, Statist society, in which real, law-abiding producers are drained to feed the sick, lame and lazy, their hard-earned taxes stolen to set up needle centers for drug addicts, parks for walking dogs, housing for those who have decided to “work the system” and illegal immigrants who claim “sanctuary”, and to feed those who choose not to work, business owners start to consider their alternatives.

Anyone who has read “Atlas Shrugged” knows the route we’re going. And they know the system is designed to empower the criminals and the collective, while undermining the creators, the thinkers, and the innovators.

The bigger the loser, the more the churches and government will do for him. It’s an attack on capitalism.

The Benefits to Being A Joint Venture Broker

That’s why I tell people to consider creating their own Joint Venture Broker business. Run your business with

• no cost,
• no risk,
• no selling,
• no inventory,
• no employees,
• no licenses, fees or royalties,
• no limits,
• and no overhead or premises.

I’m not suggesting we don’t pay our taxes or that we do anything illegal – I would never suggest that – but I am suggesting that you wake up and smell the burning Constitution.

Smart squirrels plan for the winter, and hyperinflation, massive taxation, restrictions on medical care, free speech, and the Internet, and a police state suddenly doesn’t sound like a conspiracy theory anymore.

It’s Time to Get Picky

Now, more than ever, real relationships and confidentiality is crucial to business success.

Savvy entrepreneurs are planning ahead. We’re finding out who our friends and enemies are, and we’re cutting costs and risks.

Start getting lean and mean, and consider learning to understand alternative compensation and reciprocation – you’ll be glad you did.

Where will you be when Atlas shrugs?

• Bored with your job and boss?
• Tired of working too hard, for too long, for too little in your business?
• Unemployed?
• Weary of financial woes and turbulence?
• Skeptical of big promises and scary scams?
• Irritated with MLM B.S.?
• Do you want real financial freedom, security, and peace of mind?

You Don’t Need A Job

Some people have money, but no time to enjoy it. Others have time, but no money. Many others have neither, and some are losing what they have.

People are losing their jobs and houses, losing hope, and generally losing it, as they see things changing faster and faster in an increasingly socialist world.

The only people who are happy are the parasites: the losers, the lazy, the liberals, and the looters. They’re waiting for handouts as your hard-earned wealth gets redistributed to them and you get to sink down to their level.

It doesn’t have to be like this for you. You don’t have to lie awake at night worrying about your financial future. You don’t have to take a second job – in fact, you don’t need a job!

The Solution Is Easier Then You Believe

After 23 years of working with tens of thousands of entrepreneurs in different countries, I have seen a lot of people enslaved by Network Marketing cults, dead-end businesses, and mind-numbing jobs. I have seen financial problems cause divorce, depression, and suicide.

I have learned why businesses fail, and why the average small and medium-sized business operates at about ten percent of its real potential. And the solution is easier and better than you might believe.

Patrick Giesbrecht used our systems to retire with more residual monthly income than he needed to live on within seven months. Dick Low did it in five months. Too good to be true? Only if you don’t understand how they did it.

Let’s Play a Little Game of “Imagine”

Imagine you had a real business (as I have – I practice what I preach) that operated with:

• No overhead,
• No royalties,
• No selling,
• No employees,
• No risk,
• No inventory,
• No cost,
• And only took you two hours a day to run from anywhere in the world.

Imagine if it had multiple income sources from:

• Diverse economies,
• People,
• Businesses,
• Products,
• Services,
• And geographic areas.

And imagine if it had unlimited potential. Best of all, imagine if anyone, regardless of their age, background, circumstances, education, or skills, and whether they had a business or not, could do this.

Now that REALLY sounds like a scam to someone who doesn’t understand how this works, right?

Our Misson

Well, that’s exactly what we do, what we teach, and what our mission and passion in life is – to help millions of people around the world to use this proven, tested system to create financial freedom. There are only three requirements to qualify. If you have them, you can create a lean, mean, money machine for yourself and your family. Only you know whether or not you have these essential qualities:

1. You have to LEARN how to do it. Are you prepared to learn, or is your cynicism and skepticism too great? Are you prepared to be open-minded and teachable?
2. You have to be seriously MOTIVATED – hungry – or you will quit at the first sign of difficulty, as many do. On a scale of 1 – 10, one being, “I don’t care”, and ten being, “Whatever it takes – seriously”, where do you stand?
3. You have to WORK, consistently, to create your DollarMaker Money Machine, until it sets you free. Are you prepared to work hard, in all your spare time if you have a job or a business, UNTIL you get it, and the money starts flowing in? It can happen fast if you have the right motivation and attitude.

All your excuses will be taken care of with this system –

“Not enough time, new in the area, don’t know people, can’t sell, too old, too young, shy, no money, no credit, no business experience”

– none of these will make a difference – we teach our students how to leverage other people’s resources and to think correctly about money and value and business. We don’t have money problems; we have thinking problems.

We think strategically and we create wealth.

With A 24/7/365 Attitude – You Will Succeed!

When I got into business 23 years ago at the age of 33, I had never owned a business before, and I was DESPERATE to succeed in my new business, so I did everything I was told to do.

I was prepared to work 24/7/365, without questioning, second-guessing, or compromising. My mentor was strict and serious about success.

With that attitude, you WILL succeed. But if you’re a lazy quitter who blames others for your bad choices, this is not for you.

Here’s the training we offer: Pick what you want, pick all of them, if you like, and get going.

You don’t need a job; you need DollarMakers.

I just noticed that a fellow with a massive database is following me on Twitter. He knows who I am. I could show him a system that is:

1. Simple
2. Proven
3. Safe
4. No-cost
5. Risk-free

- that he could introduce easily to his database.

Conservatively, it would earn him $5,000 per month in passive income within three months. (No, it’s not Network Marketing.) Yet I can virtually guarantee that he won’t even consider it. Why? His giant ego.

Seminar leaders, “gurus” and “trainers”, much like many of the owners of small and medium-sized business, allow their egos to steal massive potential profits from right under their noses.

The Most Sophisticated Tools In Business

We’re not in business to feel important or to impress people; we’re in business to make the most possible after-tax profit, with the least cost, time, risk, and effort.

The fact is that most “gurus” and “entrepreneurs” are not really entrepreneurs – they’re really just slick salesmen and pitchmen.

Anthony “Sully” Sullivan, the well-known “Pitchman”, says, “Life’s a pitch, and then you die.”

Smart entrepreneurs understand that Joint Ventures and strategic alliances are the most sophisticated tools in business –

• They are strategic,
• They employ leverage,
• They are scalable.
• They are not based on ego, but rather on profit.

Get Your Ego In Check

Look at the people who make the really big money, and you’ll find that they seldom sell their time, they actually prefer not to be on a stage unless they have no other option, and they evaluate business opportunities objectively and rationally.

When we get our egos under control, we suddenly see new options opening up. But for that, we need to understand the back-end, leverage, and positioning. Calvin Coolidge said,

“Civilization and profit go hand in hand.”

Most wanna-be business owners are simply broke, desperate, self-employed salespeople, whose arrogance is exceeded only by their ignorance, yet these are the very people who allow their egos to dictate their business choices.

A big fish is a small, rancid pond is only impressive to those even more pathetic and needy than he is.

Focus On The Bottom Line

The most successful businessman with whom I was ever privileged to work, partnered with me in my business and taught me a very important lesson. He said,

“Robin, it’s all about the bottom line. If you maintain your integrity and sublimate your personal feelings and pride, your profits will soar. There is always going to be someone richer and smarter than you are – don’t try to be a legend in your own lunchtime, don’t believe your own PR and BS, and focus on the bottom line.”

He was a very wealthy man, one of the most humble, soft-spoken people around, and very strong and disciplined.

If you want to feel important, act in a pantomime, join a service or fraternal club and rise in the ranks to get a title, or teach kids.

If you want to get rich, focus on the bottom line.

Here’s a simple formula to predict someone’s future choices and actions.

This virtual crystal ball has helped me significantly over the years to save time and money and allocate my resources more accurately.

Here’s How To Do It – Quick and Easy!

Sit down and do a spot of goal-setting with them, including the creation of an Action Plan.

There are really only two responses to this activity.

Winners who intend to produce will set goals with an Action Plan to Support them that are:

• very specific,
• realistic,
• measurable,
• time-related,
• and significant.

Those who do not intend to produce will set vague, mediocre goals that focus on activity rather than results, and are hard to measure and check.

Clues: What Winners and Losers Say

For example, the winner writes:

“I will make four paid, $2,000 sales by November 1st.”

The loser writes:

“Contact fifteen new prospects, advertise in the newspaper, ask for referrals from existing customers, read ‘Think and Grow Rich’ again.”

You get my drift.

How do I know he/she called fifteen new prospects or read the book, and how does reading the book put money in the bank? Did he/she really ask for referrals? It’s easy to advertise in the newspaper, but that doesn’t create sales.

Also, listen to their words:

• Winners says things like

“I will, I commit, definitely, exactly, certainly, I know.”

And they will put themselves on the line, invest, and face the consequences.

• Losers will use words like,

“I guess, I hope, I’ll try, IF, it depends on, maybe, I can’t control the future”, etc.

They will deflect blame.

Have Something to Show For It

When November 1st rolls around, the Winner will either celebrate their success, or they will have to explain why they didn’t attain their four sales, because it will be plain to see whether they succeeded or not.

The loser has protected them self by insulating them self from criticism; they will claim that they achieved their goals by reading the book, contacting people, asking for referrals, and advertising, yet they made no sales!

So he/she feels very successful with no sales, while the Winner, who in fact made three sales, determines to do much better next time by applying more self-discipline, something which the loser knows nothing about.

Motivation for Losers Vs. Winners

Losers (parasites and moochers) are motivated by:

• being busy,
• feeling important,
• impressing others,
• and teaching others (the blind leading the blind.).

Winners (producers and creators) are motivated by:

• results.

The way they set goals is the first way to predict their futures. The second way is to listen to what they say after their results are revealed.

Losers will:

• make excuses,
• blame others,
  • the economy,
  • circumstances,
  • their tools,
  • products and services,
  • pricing,
  • the market,
  • you name it.
• be “offended” if confronted with the fact that they failed to produce.

Winners will:

• take personal responsibility and
• resolve to do better by
  • changing their action plan,
  • working harder,
  • honing their skills.

Before you commit time and resources to working with someone, apply this simple formula – it could save you a lot of time and money!

This article is important to those who want to achieve great things.

Any successful athlete will tell you how important momentum is in ther training. Consistency, focus, momentum – you can’t serve two masters,

“because you will love the one and despise the other”.

Compromise and distraction, laziness and pride all decrease momentum. An aircraft requires 95% of it’s power to ascend, but only 65% while cruising.

Build Momentum to Build Real Wealth

Many so-called “entrepreneurs” spend their time swinging between feast and famine, chicken and feathers. They spend their money in the good times and suffer in the bad times, forgetting that business is cyclical.

Joan Welsh said,

“If you’re coasting, you’re either losing momentum or else you’re headed downhill.”

In order to build real wealth and get to a place where you can cruise, you have to build momentum in the right areas.

Business Is A Relationship With Money

Anthony Robbins said,

“The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.”

And you have to keep on taking that positive action. Business is a relationship with money, just like your relationship with your spouse – remember that.

Build A Bullet-Proof Mindset

At any given point in your day, on a regular basis, ask yourself,

“Is what I am doing now taking me towards my goal or away from it? What is the return on investment from this choice?”

It’s sad to see many people join DollarMakers and take off in a flurry of promises and activity, and then to see them quit at the first sign of difficulty. Others get overconfident and sit back, riding on the backs of others, and before they know it, they’re cut loose.

The smart ones build a bullet-proof mindset and are consistent, disciplined, focused, and reliable. They build relationship and momentum, and they get rich.

Time – Your Most Valuable Resource

Michael Korda said,

“One way to keep momentum going is to have constantly greater goals.”

By building relationships with strong entrepreneurs whose goals are aligned with yours and with whom you have “overlap”, you will find yourself staying on track.

Once you lose momentum, it’s hard to build it again, especially since one often loses credibility in the process, and that diminishes trust and closes previously open doors.

Sporadic, emotional bursts of ego-driven activity seldom achieve long-term results. You can’t chase two rabbits or ride two bicycles.

Manage your time carefully – it’s your most valuable resource.

Consistency and Momentum  - The Essential Components of Success.

Set your goals and action plans carefully, remain flexible, continue to add income streams and dollarmakers, and remember who your friends are.

Consistency and momentum are not options – they are essential components of success.

Winners hang in there through the tough times, make the hard choices, apply self-discipline, and get rich.
