“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?

    Too many people have jumped aboard the Mediocrity Train and caught the viral Excusiologist Flu that came sweeping in with the recession.

    Everything gets blamed on the recession, from halitosis and hiccups to oversleeping and body odor. People make excuses for lethargy, low sales, their dogs’ fleas, and failing to stop at traffic lights.

    ENOUGH!

    Contrary to what the media is feeding you, not everyone is suffering during this recession. And YOU don’t have to, either.

    Moving Towards Success

    How does one move from the apathetic, comatose, paralyzed, unconscious state of suspended animation so common to the sheeple, to one of frenzied, happy success?

    How do we become like those bold and audacious, excited, and unstoppable winners?

    What will it take to shift from being baffled and bewildered to fierce and fiery, irresistible and irrepressible? Is it even possible to become a manic money missile?

    Taking Action

    People make changes when the pain of staying where we are exceeds the pain of change.

    We take action when we truly believe that we can achieve our exciting goals, and that peak is, indeed, attainable. And the more action we take, the easier it gets!

    Here are a few simple steps that will make it easier for you to break the chains of frustration and limitation and enjoy the abundance that is available to all of us through Joint Ventures:

    1.   Belief:

    Build your belief with an authentic action plan and surround yourself with winners and achievers. And know WHY you insist on nothing less than success. Paul J. Meyer said,

    “Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon, must inevitably come to pass.”

    2.   Specifics:

    Measurable, specific amounts and steps, like road signs along the way, are essential.

    Your action plan is your Success GPS.

    3.   Time:

    By what exact date will you commit to achieving this specific goal?

    Commit yourself publicly – put yourself on the line, so that there is a consequence to non-performance.

    4.   Leverage on Yourself:

    Be aware of the consequences on failing to achieve your goals. Remind yourself of the pain and suffering that comes with failure!

    5.   Training and Support:

    The more you learn, the more you will earn. DollarMakers provides superb training and support through our Membership, events, training, seminars, conference calls, and online information.

    6.   Monitoring:

    Monitor your progress daily. Adjust, tweak, and realign yourself like a guided missile. Confront issues, don’t get side-tracked, and only work with winners.

    Communicate regularly with your team.

    7.   Motivation:

    Control your input and self-talk.

    Only expose your mind to positive input that is aligned with your goals, values and beliefs.

    Kick the losers and parasites out of your life, and design your information flow carefully. The best way to predict the future is to create it – your success won’t happen by accident.

    8.   Celebration:

    Celebrate small successes along the way. This builds self-esteem and belief and reinforces your commitment and self-confidence.

    It’s sensible to buy one dollar umbrellas at the dollar store and hand them to restaurant guests as they leave on a rainy night – far better than handing them expensive “corporate gifts” that you have to pay for.

    But how much better would it be , how much more attention would you get, and how much more word of mouth advertising would you enjoy if you handed out $75 gifts to all your customers? And what if it didn’t cost you a blue cent?

    What Impresses

    Nobody is impressed with discount vouchers, two-for-one, “Buy one, get one” and bulk deals – what they ARE impressed with is stand-alone, no-obligation, real value, like a gift, as opposed to bait.

    What about handing your female customers a nice Gift Certificate for a complimentary manicure, paid for and provided by the local spa? The spa would get a whole bunch of potential new customers, and they would be happy to pay for the printing and provide the manicures (subject to availability, of course). Far better for them than expensive advertising.

    Add to Your Bottom Line at the Same Time

    Naturally, you could negotiate a commission on any sales resulting from said Gift Certificates, as well.  That would drive net profit directly to you bottom line with no cost, risk, or time. As long as the Gift Certificates are distributed to the right demographic or psychographic model, it’s a win-win, since you’ll be passively endorsing and recommending the products and services of the vendor providing the Gift Certificates.

    Think of the Possibilities…

    How about Gift Certificates from interior designers, home theater purveyors, kitchen renovators, yoga teachers, jewelers, kayak and boating places… provide samples, classes, consultations, reports – the sky is the limit. Imagine all the possibilities, and consider the exposure and publicity you would get!

    • Target your markets, and Joint Venture with the providers of the Gift Certificates to reciprocate by paying you commissions and / or distributing YOUR gift certificates.
    • You could even SELL the Gift Certificates for a dollar each to other businesses.

    Think about it…

    Am I CRAZY?

    You’re not crazy – just trusting and naive. Too many people show up at “Educational Seminars”, which are usually thinly disguised bait-and-switch pitchfests, with no intention of spending a cent, only to wake up the next morning with the terrible realization that they just gambled their nest egg or life savings on the most ridiculous “investment” possible.

    They found themselves rushing to the back of the room, frantic to throw their hard-earned money into mind-numbing schemes, grateful for the opportunity to do so. The repercussions, apart from the loss of their money, can be devastating. They were conned, and they eagerly signed away any chance of recovering their “investment”.

    “Get Anyone to Do Anything and Never Feel Powerless Again”

    Here is an excellent article from www.RickRoss.com (a great website) that can help you from falling into the trap referred to above:

    “Get Anyone to Do Anything and Never Feel Powerless Again” – Psychological secrets to predict, control and influence every situation Chapter 9, Pages 42-43/May 2000

    By David J. Lieberman, Ph. D.

    From the bedroom to the boardroom learn how to see clearly and easily evaluate information without being swayed by those with selfish interests and unkind intentions. The manipulator’s bag of tricks is stocked with seven deadly tactics that can leave you jumping through hoops. The good news is that by knowing what they are, you can watch out for them, and…never be manipulated again.

    These powerful manipulators are: guilt, intimidation, appeal to ego, fear, curiosity, our desire to be liked, and love. Anyone who uses any of these tactics is attempting to move you from logic to emotion-to a playing field that’s not so level. She or he knows that she or he can’t win on the facts so they will try to manipulate your emotions with any one or a combination of the tactics below.

    1. Guilt: “How can you even say that? I’m hurt that you wouldn’t trust me. I just don’t know who you are anymore.”
    2. Intimidation: “What’s the matter can’t you make a decision? Don’t you have enough confidence in yourself to do this?
    3. Appeal to Ego: “I can see that you’re a smart person. I wouldn’t try to put anything past you. How could I? You’d be on me in a second.”
    4. Fear: “You know, you might [not get "it" if you go take a pee/act un-coach able] just lose the whole thing. I sure hope you know what you’re doing. I’m telling you that you won’t get a better deal anywhere else. This is your last shot at making things work out. Why do you want to risk losing out on being happy?
    5. Curiosity: “Look, you only live once. Try it? You can always go back to how things were. It might be fun, exciting-a real adventure. “You never know unless you try and you regret never seeing what happens.”
    6. Our Desire to be Liked: “I thought you were a real player. And so did everyone else Come on, nobody likes it when a person backs out…this can be your chance to prove what you’re made of.
    7. Love: “If you loved me you wouldn’t question me. Of course I have only your best interests at heart. I wouldn’t lie to you. You know that deep down inside, don’t you? We can have a wonderful relationship if you’d only let yourself go and experience the wonders that the future will deliver to us.”

    Strategy Review:

    Look and listen objectively–not only to the words but also to the message. The abusive maneuvers interfere with your ability to digest facts. When these emotions creep into your thinking, temporarily suspend your feelings and look at the messenger as well as the message. If you hear anything that sounds like these manipulators, stop and reevaluate the situation. Don’t ever act quickly and emotionally. Wait and objectively gather the facts so you don’t become a hand puppet.”

    Does this remind you of the last timeshare or MLM presentation you attended, or the last self-development seminar you attended? Forewarned is forearmed. Educate yourself about the way people are manipulated in order to prevent yourself from being manipulated.
