Douglas is a self-employed salesman who likes to think of himself as an entrepreneur.

  • He sells his products and services, employs two people, works hard, and pays the bills.
  • He belongs to the local Chamber of Commerce and a service club and pays for T shirts with his business name on them, which he gives to the local baseball club.
  • His market is limited to certain people within a certain geographic area, he has a 16% net profit margin, and his competition forces his prices down, which directly affects his bottom line.
  • He finds himself spending more on advertising for less return, and he has less time than ever before.
  • He is affected by the weather, the economy, the interest rate, and business trends.
  • He works harder for less, and as he gets older he finds he has less energy, less patience, and less security.

Sally is a Joint Venture Broker.

  • She is a real entrepreneur with no overhead except her computer connection and  telephone, and she runs her entire business in two hours a day.
  • She has Joint Venture partners around the world and she can easily add additional income, all of which is 100% profit.
  • She has a portable skill set which works anywhere in the world under any economic circumstances.
  • She is involved in different industries, so she doesn’t experience the usual ups and downs during busy or quiet times - her cash flow is regular, being residual income spread over different industries in different geographical areas.
  • She has a very low risk, high return business, and she sleeps well at night as she becomes increasingly more wealthy.

Who Would You Rather Be?

Douglas has all his eggs in one proverbial basket.  He works harder and harder for less and less and is impacted by things beyond his control. He worries about losing his customers, the competition, being incapacitated and unable to work, the economy, and local politics. He is at risk, and he knows it. Sally easily increases her profits, diversifies at will, and has no inventory, employees, overhead, advertising or marketing budget or capital investment. She has both time and money, freedom, and fun. She is in control of her own life and time.

Joint Ventures Can Profit Anyone Further

Douglas could use Joint Ventures to double his profits in short order with no cost or risk, reduce his risk and overhead, and create more time freedom. Or he could just continue the way he’s going… Sally can increase her net profit quickly by simply enhancing her existing Joint Ventures and adding more. Both these entrepreneurs can dramatically improve upon their situations with the magic and power of Joint Ventures.

You’ve been laid off, or fired, or you can’t get a job, or you’re plain bored, or you’re a new immigrant, or you simply can’t make it on your salary, so you strut off to the local franchise show or business broker, risk your house, your life savings, and your aged parent’s retirement funds, and you buy a business. Bad idea. There’s a reason why he’s called a business BROKEr, and he’s not the one that’s going to go broke. Worse still, you attend a seminar where a conman sells you an “investment” or “business opportunity”.

Why It Doesn’t Work… No Matter How Good It Looks

There’s a very good reason why savvy entrepreneurs will never buy a business at a franchise or business opportunity show or seminar – they’re not that stupid! There’s a reason why people sell a business, and it’s usually pretty scary. I could tell you stories all night long about how dishonest people can make any business or business opportunity look very good when they put it on the market. There are ways to make it look so good and so safe that it seems crazy not to buy it right away, but buying a business is not a smart move.

  • Not just because 87% of new businesses fail in the first five years and 87% of the remaining 13% fail in the next five years, leaving a terrible 98.31% of new businesses in smoldering ashes before ten short years and many of the owners (and often members of their extended family and closest friends) financially ruined for life.
  • Not simply because the owners of most small and medium sized businesses would make more money working at the local MacDonald’s.
  • And not because it is statistically more risky to start a business than to go gambling in Las Vegas, and we all know how silly that is.

No, the reason why you shouldn’t even CONSIDER buying a business, “business opportunity” or franchise, is because it is a stupid choice for the following reasons:

  1. Most business owners are not salespeople, yet they need to sell their products or services in order to stay in business.
  2. 92% of businesses are desperately undercapitalized.
  3. The majority of business owners have 90% of their sales and marketing based on one principle system, the failure of which will instantly BANKRUPT them.
  4. 95% of businesses are susceptible to political, geographical, and demographic changes, which are completely beyond their control.
  5. A Franchise is really only a glorified job – you will never work harder or earn less, and MANY franchisees fail dismally, however the franchise is simply resold to another sucker, and the business is therefore statistically deemed “successful” – after all, the business is still running, isn’t it? Never mind the last two franchisees went bankrupt and lost their houses and savings and their middle-aged wives are now working two jobs, if they didn’t divorce their dumb husbands for buying the franchises in the first place. Oh, you think a franchise is “safe?” Note that Starbucks is not even a franchise, yet stores are closing down all around the world.
  6. In the case of most “business opportunities”, the only people making money are those selling them, and they’re selling them to people who have never been in business. That’s like a surgeon explaining the intricacies of an operation to a plumber – the plumber has no choice but to believe whatever he’s told!

“There’s Got to be a Better Way!”

Now it’s no good telling you how dangerous it is to buy a business without providing you with an alternative vehicle to take you all the way to glorious financial freedom. So here goes. You need a system and a technology that is proven and is designed to carefully avoid all the reasons why the conventional business only has a 1.69% chance of success in ten years, things like:

  • The need to sell
  • High overhead and inventory
  • Royalties, franchise and license fees, rent, and employees
  • Massive capital investment with many hidden and secret costs, which you will only discover AFTER you have bought the business
  • Seasonal ups and downs – busy and quiet periods, chicken or feathers, feast or famine
  • Long working hours
  • All your proverbial eggs in one basket
  • Subject to local competition, off-shore competition, big box store competition, weather changes, road changes, political changes, changing legislature, and things you could never expect (but the previous owner knew all about them, and that’s why he sold!)
  • Massive risk and stress
  • Shrinking margins
  • The inability to sell
  • A limited or diminishing market (what happened to camera stores when digital cameras came along?)
  • Hard to find good people, sales people, skilled people, honest people…

The Proven System that’s Made Me Money for 21 Years

OK, enough. You’re already in tears, I know. Here’s a Kleenex. What money-making system that is proven, legitimate, and available can avoid all the above? Is it even possible? Yes, it is. There is a practical system that has been around for hundreds of years, that you can use with no overhead, no employees, no license or franchise fees, no capital investment, and no selling required, than can make you an UNLIMITED amount of money. This business system works anywhere in the world, and you can run it from anywhere with a telephone and a computer. How do I know? I’ve been doing it for the past 21 years. I work internationally, I have no overhead, my income is spread over 22 income sources, most of them residual, and I have no risk. Everything I earn is 100% PROFIT. And here’s the best part: I can run my core business in one hour a day. That’s right. One hour a day. And I can increase my income quickly and easily. Now, that’s freedom.

Too good to be true? Not if I can prove it, and I can. Now, if you already have a business, we can show you how to apply this system to YOUR business, and double or quadruple your profits, cut your time and overhead, and dramatically lower your risk.

What would it be worth to learn this skill, and to have the support and access necessary to create multiple money machines at will?

If you want the maximum market impact and exponential growth, multifaceted marketing is essential. A combination of a variety of well-planned, consistent, congruent attacks and exposures will establish your brand and identity in the minds of your prospects and those who can refer business to you. When you combine leverage, duplication, and viral components in your marketing, you get even stronger. Niche marketing can further enhance your progress. And the most powerful marketing system ever created is Joint Ventures.

Every aspect of your marketing should link to as many other aspects and systems as possible, so creating a symbiotic and synergistic approach is very important. Think of warfare as an analogy: everything should work together seamlessly, driven by Operations Intelligence, and you’re the Commanding Officer in the war room. You’re the mastermind, not running around with a rifle or fixing broken machine guns or driving an ambulance. The air force, navy, and army all work together for the common good, all offering what they do best, enhancing the efficacy of the other forces in many ways.

Strategic marketers know that the ripple effect works to create spaced repletion – the old operant conditioning tool – and by impacting the consciousness of your target market in different ways, from different sources, with different media, on a consistent basis, with a unified message, the brand and the message is established. Combine that with the wonderful information we learned in two great books, The Tipping Point and The Long Tail, and it makes sense to develop a scientific approach to marketing, instead of the haphazard, desperate, loose, random approach used by broke, self-employed salespeople who masquerade as entrepreneurs.

If this all sounds terribly expensive and complicated to implement, remember that a smart Joint Venture Broker can do all the above and more, with no cost, no risk , and relatively little time. Utilizing existing resources and developing strategic alliances with the right partners makes it all possible and a lot of fun when you remove the risk. One can be very creative when one has nothing to lose.

So take off the blinders, get out your crayons, think big, and climb out of that stale little box – marketing is the key to business success, and this is the way to do it. DollarMakers Certified Business Mentors are standing by, locked and loaded, to help you apply this powerful information directly to your business and multiply your bottom line.

Every business can use Joint Ventures to dramatically increase profits, fast!

  • I worked with an office supply company that we partnered with a computer store that both fixed and supplied computers, software and networking. We cross-sold and bundled their products and services to their respective databases and then collaborated on a shared newsletter.  We increased profits in the office supply company significantly, and their new website doubled the size of their database within a month.
  • We used Gift Certificates for a Business Consultant, an interior designer that focused on offices, and someone who supplied rented art for offices.
  • We provided Gift Certificates for a complimentary office design consultation by a Work Study expert as buying incentives in order to ramp up the existing transaction value of purchases.
  • We also Joint Ventured with a health club to distribute our discount vouchers to their Members.
  • Finally, we offered business seminars at the local Chamber of Commerce in order to build our database and get new customers.

43 Methods for You to Get Real Results

Our DollarMakers Certified Business Mentors expertly impact a business in six major areas with 43 systems to double and quadruple profits. When we look outside the proverbial box and develop an inclusive, reciprocal mindset focused on creating value by leveraging existing resources, we become creative, innovative, and empowered. The Wedding Planner forgets that the wedding is only the start of ongoing, rivers potential residual income for her. After the wedding, people buy stuff, change their insurance, breed, move, and need many products and services that you can introduce them to for payment. And 50% of them will need a divorce lawyer! Another income opportunity for the smart Joint Venture Broker.

Read the following article, and then answer the question at the end, and I think you will get a revealing insight into the extent to which your present state of mind is helping or hurting your business. Be sure to read the article first, though.

Revealed: The Changing Face of Britain: 1,650 New Immigrants Invade UK Every Day.

The number of foreigners living here has risen by 1.1 million in three years – enough to fill a city the size of Birmingham. The number of people leaving the country has also reached unprecedented levels, and nearly half of them are Britons.

  • 605,000 people enter Britain as migrants every year.
  • Pensioners outnumber children for the first time.
  • The majority (54%) of births in London are to foreign mothers.
  • Applications for asylum are up 15%.
  • A total of 888,000 Poles and Slovakians have come here to work since the expansion of the EU in 2004. But 185,573 of them are in receipt of or in line for state handouts costing taxpayers more than £211 million a year.

OK, here’s the question to answer:
What is your initial response to this abbreviated article?

There are many options – most of them emotional, biased, and entirely subjective. One could feel the rise of xenophobia, a reaction to the photograph of the Muslin women in a burka, fear, realization that Canada is going the same way, all sorts of possible reactions. Here was my reaction: “Wow! The market for DollarMakersUK is better than ever, and improving by the minute! We can help these people – great for business!” Was that your reaction?

NOW what is your response?

“Oh, well, that’s fine for Robin, but I don’t have a business in England.” Well, a Joint Venture Broker would realize that you don’t need a business in the UK to do business there.

See, it’s all about the way we interpret our circumstances and the stories we tell ourselves about our options. It’s all about choice and perception, and DollarMakers specializes in teaching people how to think about business. After all, we don’t have money problems – we have thinking problems, and Napoleon Hill taught us that:

“Every adversity, every difficulty, and every heartache carries with it the Seed of an equivalent or a greater Benefit.” He said, “Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.”

I can think of a multitude of opportunities to make money from the situation in the UK. We can find solutions that benefit everyone through the use of Joint Ventures.

Let me tell you about two entrepreneurs, Douglas and Sally - both of whom work very hard and see results from their efforts.

Douglas is a self-employed salesman who likes to think of himself as an entrepreneur. He sells his products and services, employs two people, works hard, and pays the bills. He belongs to the local Chamber of Commerce and a service club and pays for T shirts with his business name on them, which he gives to the local baseball club.

He works harder for less, and as he gets older he finds he has less energy, less patience, and less security.

Jim Stovall is blind. He has been a national champion Olympic weightlifter, the President of the Emmy Award-winning Narrative Television Network, and a highly sought after author and platform speaker.  He is the author of the best selling book, The Ultimate Gift, which is now a major motion picture starring James Garner and Abigail Breslin. Steve Forbes, president and CEO of Forbes magazine, says, “Jim Stovall is one of the most extraordinary men of our era.” For his work in making television accessible to our nation’s 13 million blind and visually impaired people, The President’s Committee on Equal Opportunity selected Jim Stovall as the Entrepreneur of the Year.  He was also chosen as the International Humanitarian of the Year, joining Jimmy Carter, Nancy Reagan, and Mother Teresa as recipients of this honor.

Mr. Stovall says, “VISION is more important than sight.” He should know. We say, “I’ll believe it when I see it,” whereas the truth is that you will only see it if you believe it to start with. “Without a vision, the people perish”, goes an old saying. I once spoke to a group of psychologists at a hospital in South Africa that specialized in helping people deal with stress – most of their patients were police officers – and they agreed with me that the best antidote for depression is hope. Without a vision, there is no hope – only the bland and tiring expectation of more of the same frustrating mediocrity, the same struggle for mere survival.

If you feel you’ve lost your mojo, your edge, your enthusiasm for life, that excitement when you wake up in the morning, your sense of eager anticipation, you don’t need doctors and drugs. You don’t need drink and dope. And you won’t solve your problem by attending multiple motivational talks or sermons. What you need is a magnificent obsession, a vision, a goal that will not be denied, which your can commit yourself to. You will be amazed what will happen to your levels of creativity, happiness, energy, self-esteem, income, drive, clarity, and joy when you get a real vision for your future.Perhaps you’re battling to find or define a vision, a purpose, a raison d’etere for your life? No problem – hitch your wagon to a star! I’m not talking about joining the local religious cult or working for nothing for the local snake oil salesman who poses as a motivational speaker, or working your tail off for a charity – I’m talking about participating and enjoying the fruits of your labor in hard cash. I’m talking about a mission with a commission, where you share in the spoils and you don’t simply become a lackey or a foot soldier to pad someone else’s bank account – that’s like getting a second job. No – I mean getting a real vision, creating something of value, building and producing and pioneering a wonderful project.

DollarMakers has an unlimited vision to help millions of people around the world to achieve financial independence and the resulting freedom, dignity, personal growth, choice, and the ability to live and love according to their core values. We agree with Zig Ziglar who said, “You can get anything out of life, if you’re prepared to help enough other people to get what they want.” With the dynamic, committed DollarMakers Team and our DollarMakers Certified Business Mentor program, as well as over a hundred websites, our products and technology, hundreds of Members in fourteen countries, and our DollarMakers Joint Venture Broker Bootcamps, Joint Venture Broker Home Study Course, Member activities, meetings, conference calls and Conventions, our eight ezines and our solid business and Joint Venture Partners, DollarMakers UK, DollarMakers South Africa, and very soon DollarMakers USA, we are finally about to reach our tipping point, and we are looking for the right people to work with. The field is ripe unto harvest, and millions of people need what we have to offer more than ever before. We’re not short on vision, but we need more visionaries to join us on our exciting mission.

To whom much has been given, much will be demanded. Faithful in little, faithful in much. My personal motto is that of Paul J. Meyer, who taught me, “Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon, must inevitably come to pass.” Together, we are doing amazing things, and we’ve only just scratched the scratch! We’re locked and loaded and we’re on the move. Join us.
