Who Stands Out?

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:19 am by Robin J. Elliott

When you look back on your week, which people stand out in your memory? I just completed a seven day speaking and training tour to Ontario, interspersed with meetings, during which I spoke to hundreds of people. As the aircraft was descending back home in Vancouver, I thought of the people who had made a strong impression on me. I came up with sixteen out of hundreds. I could see their faces clearly in my mind. With the exception of one, who was an unhappy, negative type, they all shared the same characteristic that earned them a special place in my head and heart. I added one yesterday, even though I was already home.

From Patsy, a sixty-something waitress at one of the hotels I stayed at, to Edeltraud, an Austrian exchange student on an aircraft, to Jennifer, my publicist who put the whole tour together and made it all work, Jerry, a highly successful businessman who attended every event in Toronto, and Winston, who went the extra 1000 miles as always, they all shared this characteristic. They stake a claim in your heart that earns them special priority. What is it that these people from such diverse backgrounds do, that sets them apart from thousands of others? How do they manage to get and keep your attention and loyalty?

I think real life examples will clarify my point, so here goes. Joan quietly greases the wheels, spending her own money, caring about everybody and everything, with humility and purpose. Although she is very successful, she understands the big picture and is always there for you. Shawn is constantly checking how he can produce a better video, add value, and make it easier for me to work. Richard is a generous, professional, friendly man who makes friends with everyone and brings light into the darkest room. Brenda is always seeking to direct others to their goals, helping them, encouraging them and gently pushing them. And Andrew gives you the distinct impression that he will have your back in any situation. Perceptive, attentive and sensitive to my needs and the situation. I could go on, but you get my drift?

These people are naturally caring and giving people. They understand at a cellular level that “what goes around, comes around”, but that is not their motive. They just care. They like people. They want to help. They are secure and comfortable with themselves. They have high self-esteem that allows them to put their egos on hold. They don’t manipulate others or sacrifice themselves like some altruist or mystic – don’t misunderstand me – they just care about others and it soon becomes abundantly clear that their motive is pure. They’re the Eagles in my life, and I am so grateful to meet and know these wonderful people who are salving balm for the cynicism, greed and dishonesty that is so abundant these days. And they are the type of people who join the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum. Thank you for being in my life, even if it’s only to point out the raccoon in the garden or ask me if I’m thirsty. You’re Eagles!

The Dollar Sign

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:27 pm by Robin J. Elliott

Symbolism. Icons. Archetypes. Emblems. Signs. Symbols. There is a deep philosophical and ideological message communicated through these visual depictions and signals. The dollar sign represents a different message to different people, depending on their conditioning and outlook on life. In our increasingly Collectivist society, I think it is important for every entrepreneur to clarify his internal representation and translation of the Dollar Sign. The way we perceive the Dollar Sign has a significant effect on our business dealings, choices, and success.

The Aristotelian philosophy is seldom taught in our academic institutions. In this age of liberalism, business is getting an increasingly bad rap and we have to guard against creeping socialism. I see too many entrepreneurs making excuses for their success, as though altruism is the higher way. The political looters and leeches encourage the unions even as they condemn them. What does the Dollar Sign really mean to you? Are you sliding down the slimy pathway of guilt that is so carefully greased by the mystics and Collectivists? Beware – your business will suffer violently.

To me, the Dollar Sign represents the word that I hold as my standard in life: RESPONSIBILITY. My highest value is Freedom and I am personally responsible for that freedom: its acknowledgement and attainment. And for maintaining the freedom, I create. The Dollar Sign reminds me to be grateful that I live in a free society. It urges me to strive to create more value for more people so that I am rewarded according to the principles of Capitalism. The Dollar Sign represents the objective evaluation of my accomplishments and production. It is the standard by which I judge my business contribution. The Dollar Sign is the happy reminder of free enterprise and the opportunity to be whatever you want to be. What we are determines what we do. What we do determines the value we create. And it is measured in Dollars.

When entrepreneurs start apologizing and pandering to those who would steal from them, they need to regroup and surround themselves with likeminded people who understand that we are responsible for ourselves. We do not owe others a living. We are not responsible for others. We can chose to help others if we wish, but they have no claim on the wealth we have worked hard to produce. We should be proud of our handiwork and accomplishments. The Dollar Sign is the business owner’s symbol of freedom, responsibility, productivity, value and reward. We understand that we earn money in direct proportion to the value we create in a Capitalist society. Money is regarded as “dirty” by those who are dirty. It is respected by those who understand it and contribute, build and create. Next time you see the Dollar Sign, ask yourself what it means to you.

The Power of Connecting

Posted in Uncategorized at 6:14 pm by Robin J. Elliott

We have been told by smart psychologists and sociologists that people are a lot happier and more fulfilled when they have many good relationships. When you have more friends and a strong support group, you’re happier, more at peace, more relaxed and congruent - and ultimately more successful in business. Unlike the desperate, quick buck sharks that sometimes roam the business networking groups seeking to sell at any cost, perceptive entrepreneurs know that building solid, reciprocal relationships is the ideal foundation for strong, sustained business growth.

At the risk of being shot as the messenger, let me remind you that nobody cares about you or your product or your service until they know, like and trust you. We all have multiple other options. Why would I do business with someone I did not know just because he thrust his business card at me and forced his elevator speech on me? Some networking groups actually oblige their members to only work with other members in the same club, without having had the time to due their due diligence or build a relationship. They are even forced to give leads to people they don’t really know! Now THAT is dangerous in our litigious society, let alone the risk to your reputation,nes pas? “Meet your quota of referrals to other members (that’s why so many of those leads are false) or you’re in trouble.” Nonsense!

When you understand Joint Ventures, your ego goes away and you start asking other people what they want. You seek to meet their needs and you stop pushing products and services. Your shingle changes from “Beware of the Salesperson” to “How Can We Help?” and people actually want to talk with you. You get interested in their family, dog, hopes and dreams and you become a friend. Then, when they need your product or service, you become the natural, automatic choice. In addition, you can make much more money through them by directing them to your JV partners in the meanwhile. JV income is 100% profit, remember?

One of my most satisfying business relationships is with someone I knew for two years before we did any business. We met in order to do business and it didn’t work out, so we became friends instead. When business came, it flowed easily and strongly. And my business relationship that currently enjoys the highest potential return on investment started when my JV Partner offered to do work for me at no charge, just because he’s a nice, caring, genuine person. Instead of $2,500 and three weeks, he did the work overnight at no cost. Since then the relationship has blossomed and it’s great to work with Winston.

Darcy Rezac says, “The single biggest determinant of happiness is how connected people are. See what you can contribute.” My motto is, “Together, we can do amazing things.” And the cornerstone of solid business growth is solid, mature relationships with solid, mature people. Connect on a personal level and business will follow.

Win By Giving Stuff Away

Posted in Uncategorized at 8:26 pm by Robin J. Elliott

When Gwen sets up her seminars of 150 people, how much would you have to pay to have her introduce you to all of them from the front of the room? How about $20? It’s easy if you give stuff away.
How can I get radio time for pennies on the dollar, with ten times more credibility than a high-priced advertisement? You can do that if you give stuff away.
How can you make money by giving away $100 to each of a thousand people?

People don’t want to get sold stuff. They want stuff for nothing. And they want to be able to choose to buy – they don’t like being manipulated by a slavering salesperson. That’s why you love the cake samples in Safeway and often end up buying something fattening. When you stand in Starbucks munching on a tiny piece of chocolate brownie, which is generously offered as a sample on a paper plate, did you know that many people end up buying brownies because of that tantalizing taste? Remember the vacuum cleaner salesman who showed up at your door with a five dollar set of steak knives and a three-dollar flashlight? He told that you his manager insisted he give away one of these precious and highly coveted gifts to some lucky homeowner who agreed to watch a riveting, sensational, thirty minute vacuum demonstration as he sucked minute bugs from a mattress, and which one of these two priceless offerings which you like? You chose the steak knives and two hours later you gratefully bought an overpriced vacuum cleaner.

You offer Gwen two of your books and a complimentary consultation worth $100 as door prizes and you get exposed to 150 people in the room. You give away your CD’s or a gift certificate to clean the carpets in a house as a radio give-away. And if you’re not into carpet cleaning, could you set it up for a carpet cleaner, have him do the work and take 20% of all the resulting business? Of course, you could. You could have Jimbo distribute 1,000 gift certificates to his indebted clients, entitling them all to a complimentary Yoga class with Yippee Yoga. The certificates are printed and paid for by Yippee herself, Jim and his clients are ecstatic and when Yippee gets business out of this joint venture transaction, you obediently collect 20% of all the resulting income. Or you could kindly introduce Bob’s money to Sally[‘s project and make $25,000 for the effort as I did very recently.

I spoke to a group of Newcomers in Toronto who were enjoying a Government-sponsored job finding program. The government spends many thousands advertising this course. The lecturer realized that he could save the civil servants tens of thousands of dollars by simply offering two movie tickets to any student who introduced a new student. It’s doubtful, though, that the government will accept his wise suggestion. (Do you know how a civil servant winks? He opens one eye!) Seriously, Joint Ventures opens our minds to many new opportunities, and the power of giving away stuff is only one of many simple yet powerful concepts.

In addition, it contains a Presentation Page and it is digitally printed, so it is possible to change, do short runs (Minimum 500) and brand / customize.
The information and tested tools and systems in this book is applicable at any level, from CEO’s to salespeople to seniors, teens, immigrants and Employees.

The output of the Flesch Reading Ease formula is a number from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating easier reading. The average document has a Flesch Reading Ease score between 6-70. This book is easy to read - it’s 62.2! The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level is 8.2.

In addition, the price is low and it contains carefully vetted and selected, valuable real-life and practical Bonuses worth hundreds of dollars.

1. The Fundraising Opportunity

Buy the books for a very low price, resell them, and make a profit for charities, service clubs, religious organizations, churches, sports clubs, schools… We can brand / customize the cover especially for you to reflect the name of the charity, the purpose of the sale, or any other message you want to convey.

If you have a Sponsor who pays for the books, you will want the Sponsor’s logo / information reflected on the cover. We can also include information / special offers from the Sponsor in the book. He will gain leverage, reciprocity and credibility by supporting the charity, resulting in sales of his products / services.
In this way, the Sponsor looks good and also gets his marketing material distributed by you. This is a very cost effective way of marketing for the Sponsor as he may also get a tax break as the cost of books could be deemed a “donation” – check with local tax laws.

2. The “Corporate Gift with a Motive” Opportunity
If a business has a target market that it wants to deal with / Joint Venture with / impress, it makes sense to give them a book that will educate and persuade them. The book can include information about the company, special offers and incentives as well. The cover can be branded for the company, too. This is far more effective and cheaper than giving someone a golf shirt, a pen and a coffee mug. And of the course the Presentation Page can be used.

3. The JV Sales Opportunity
Entrepreneurs and businesses can include their own coupons, flyers and Gift Certificate and buy books to distribute to prospective and existing customers. They can also brand the cover, of course.

Real World, Real Money, Real Time

Posted in Uncategorized at 6:00 pm by Robin J. Elliott

I got an e-mail from someone who had just read a 651-word ezine I wrote, to say that he enjoyed the message and had actually printed and filed it. Ten minutes later, I got an e-mail from someone who had noticed three grammatical errors and a spelling mistake in the same document. The first person (the one who liked the message) is a millionaire and the one who discovered the horrendous mistakes is currently unemployed and living off her father’s pension. I had a question for this wanna-be teacher: “Tell, me, how many books have you written, how many did you sell, and how much money did you make?” Of course, she has never written anything that anyone read and never made any money, but she did study English. Big deal!

Here’s the truth: I make grammatical errors and I make spelling mistakes and I DON’T CARE. I am not interested in grammar; I am interested in getting a message across. Some parrot that used daddy’s money to study for years does not impress me – I am impressed with someone who gets real results in the real world. There are many educated derelicts out there. The only MBA that counts is a Massive Bank Account. I recently had someone e mail me and ask me to mentor her. She proceeded to tell me all about how well educated she was. I said I wasn’t going to mentor her but I gave her three things that she could do to achieve her goals. Guess what? She never got back to me after that. Education is great, but results in the real world are more important.

The bottom line is the bottom line. A = A. If you are able to apply your education, that’s great. However, education in itself is useless. The university or college made money and you feel important for getting your degree. That’s the beginning. That’s the starting line, not the end of the race. I don’t like promises and pie in the sky – I like real world results. Don’t pay for promises and words – pay for results. When Colleges start offering courses by real entrepreneurs who actually run businesses and make money, the courses will be well worth what you spend on them. Education that works in the real world is what we need. We’re working on creating just that. Theory is great until you hit reality. I have been reading a wonderful book by Brian Klemmer. I really learnt a lot from it. When I saw that a word was missing from one of his idea boxes, I had to laugh. I could just imagine some loser contacting Mr. Klemmer to try to sell him some editing service. I’m going to call him right now and tell him what a great book he wrote.

Rescuer, Victim or Persecutor?

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:32 am by Robin J. Elliott

In business, as in life, we are faced with a dangerous triangle which is a downward spiral. This triangle is entered into by choice by players who tend to swap roles. A good example is an employee who whines that he doesn’t earn enough money, (VICTIM) so the boss becomes the RESCUER and ups the employee’s salary for no good reason. As you know, we will never have enough money, so within a short period of time the employee, who still produces the same amount of work, wants more money. At this point the boss realizes that he’s paying more but not getting more value, so he puts his foot down and refuses the increase. Now the employee moves his position from VICTIM to PERSECUTOR and starts blaming the boss for being a money-hungry slave driver. The boss falls into VICTIM mode and starts whining, “I can’t afford more! I can’t find good people! They take advantage of my kindness!”

The simple solution to this disempowering game is to take responsibility and to demand that others take responsibility as well. When the employee wants more money, the boss / owner of the business can say, “No problem, Bob. I will create an incentive program / a profit sharing program whereby you can earn money in direct proportion to the profit you are responsible for creating for this company. I will remove all income limitations so that you will be able to give yourself as many pay increases as you like. In fact, I can show you how to start your own business and become an independent contractor to my business which will allow you to take advantage of all the tax breaks available to self-employed people!” Now the employee is responsible for his own choices, income and actions. Instead of being paid because of manipulation (Playing the VICTIM or the PERSECUTOR), he can be paid for the value he creates. He can decide to stay in his present situation as an employee or he can accept his boss’s kind offer to participate in the profits of the business. The boss has decided not to be drawn into the game and causes the employee to be responsible.

We are all responsible for our own lives. Many would have us believe otherwise, through the use of false guilt, collectivism, socialism, altruism and mysticism. But in the real world we should reap what we sow, not what others sow. Adults should take responsibility for their own lives. And we can grow better adults by avoiding the Victim/Persecutor/Rescuer traps as we raise our kids. Perhaps then we would have fewer 30 year old losers living in their parents’ homes and more self sufficiency. As Ayn Rand said, “Poverty is not a mortgage on the labor of others - misfortune is not a mortgage on achievement - failure is not a mortgage on success - suffering is not a claim check, and its relief is not the goal of existence - man is not a sacrificial animal on anyone’s altar nor for anyone’s cause - life is not one huge hospital.”

Taking responsibility for your own life and demanding that others do the same, results in prosperity, self esteem, freedom and personal growth. It’s the best gift anyone can receive.

Joint Venture Leverage

Posted in Uncategorized at 10:35 pm by Robin J. Elliott

See me in the picture? I’m talking to 375 people at one time. Better than talking to each one individually, right? Archimedes said, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I will move the world.” If you had the choice between carrying rocks and using a wheelbarrow, you would choose the latter. If you could either make a phone call or drive to a meeting, a phone call would save you time. This is simple, common sense. Yet as entrepreneurs we tend to forget this in business. You find business owners who are great salespeople spending time on minimum wage activities. Why spend your $100 per hour time on an $8 per hour administrative job?

We complain that we don’t have enough time and that we can’t afford advertising dollars, and we’re right. Because we’re allocating our resources incorrectly and we’re not taking advantage of resources that are readily available. We’re working hard instead of smart. We’re putting the cart before the horse. Two fellows get together and decide to start a transport business. They max out their credit cards and deplete their bank accounts paying for the design of a fancy logo, buying a new truck they don’t need and printing expensive brochures. Then they find they don’t know how to market or find customers and they have no money left.

There are two schools of thought – the one says, “Go out and spend years and all your family’s money creating what you have convinced yourself is a great product, then try to sell what you have made.” The other suggests you first go out and see if you can get some orders before you spend a blue cent on manufacturing. Here’s the Joint Venture approach: Find someone who has a great product, get someone else to market and sell it to their existing customers and you take a piece of the action. Leverage other peoples’ time, money, distribution, reputation, access, database and skills. Let them carry the risk, inventory, leases and sleepless nights. And you make money. Only spend time on things that only you can do.

When you’re selling time and selling widgets, you’re losing out on the power of leverage. When you’re reinventing the wheel, you’re missing the business success boat. Why do consulting or “coaching” when you could have someone else do it and pay you 20% of the gross sale on an ongoing business? I’ll tell you why you would do that: It’s because you don’t understand profit. See, if a five minute referral phone call to a “life coach” makes you $100 net profit, it’s better that spending hours of your time and a lot of other expenses to make $500. Time IS money. Real businesspeople understand that $100 for five minutes is $20 per minute and that’s better than $250 per hour less your traveling time and your gas and car maintenance expenses. They’re more interested in making a profit than in feeling important.

Here’s the bottom line approach for real Joint Venture success: “How can I do this with the minimum amount or time and risk and the maximum return on my time investment? How can I leverage other peoples’ resources? How can I distribute the maximum value to the most people with the highest possible margin in the least possible time with no cost or risk to me?” Think more, solve more problems and use Joint Ventures to make all your financial dreams come true.

Yes, But…

Posted in Uncategorized at 9:29 am by Robin J. Elliott

I regularly speak to large groups of people in seminars, talks and my Joint Venture Bootcamps. I know that, while I am speaking, my audience are internally talking to themselves at something approaching 600 words a minute. They’re either saying to themselves, “Wow! I can do that! Yes, this is a great idea I can and will implement. That sounds exciting to me!” OR they are saying to themselves, “YES, it all sounds great, BUT…”

What we say to ourselves about opportunities, challenges or options that we are confronted with or offered, means a lot. How we interpret those inputs will determine to a very large extent how we react and what choices will result. Usually, we interpret our input by comparing it with the information we have gathered in our lives: our experiences, learning and exposure. It’s almost like we scan our frame of referenc, looking for a fit. And this is the dangerous part, because if I hear the adjective, “Ex Wife”, I might have a negative reaction based on my past experience and prejudge the person it is being applied to. If my ex wife was a demon, guess how I will tend to evaluate someone else’s ex wife, IF I don’t stand back and get objective?
If you’ve been educated to believe that all businessmen are bad and dishonest, it might be hard for you to succeed as an entrerpreneur. Your self talk will hobble, distract, sabotage and undermine your success, because your belief and business and your entrepreneurial aspirations will not be congruent. So we need to be very open minded, non-judgmental and objective about new information that we’re exposed to. When you hear yourself saying, “Yes, BUT” or prejudging new information, it’s time to give yourself a “Check-up from the neck up” and decide not to deny yourself the opportunity to positively benefit from this input.
One of the ways I have found to make this work well is to take a lot of notes or record the seminar, and to make the decision to be completely unemotional about evidence I receive that conflicts with my present belief system. I use this affirmation: “I know that I have a lot to learn and that not everything I believe is true, so I choose to be open to new options and opportunities.”

The Mindset Required for a Good Joint Venture

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:52 pm by Robin J. Elliott

When you are sincerely interested in helping other people to achieve their goals and make their dreams come true, you will ask them a lot of sincere, open-ended questions about their lives, their hopes and dreams, their families and their problems and challenges. You will not talk about yourself and your products and services until and unless they can be used to alleviate, solve or remove the problems, challenges and goals of the person to whom you are talking.

For example, if you’re a real estate investor and the person you’re talking with has absolutely no interest in real estate investment but is desperately trying to find a set of good, second-hand drums for his teenage son, you would do well to help him get the drums instead of trying to convince him that he should invest in real estate. By helping him find the drums, you could earn a commission from the seller of the drums, but, far more importantly, you will create a friend and reciprocity. This same person might introduce you to five others who all end up doing business with you.

When we get our egos and self interests out of the way we realize that we earn money by solving problems instead of pushing our products and services and trying to force square pegs into round holes. I recently talked with a salesperson and I asked her, “Will you make more money by selling me something I don’t really need or want, or by getting me to enthusiastically promote you to the five thousand people in my database?”
At our recent Joint Venture Forum Members Convention in Edmonton, Richard Banister of Snapdragon Gallery (http://www.snapdragongallery.com/) sponsored 18 beautiful, engraved, hand blown crystal awards. He never asked for anything – he just generously contributed. And now his website is being advertised to thousands of people who read this article.

Here’s a good example. You ask someone, “If a Genie leapt out of the ketchup bottle and offered you three wishes for your life, Tom, what would they be?” When Tom answers, “Health, Money and Happiness”, you have learnt nothing. How much money? By when? Why? What will he do with that money? Why? What does he mean by “Health”? What, specifically, has to happen in order for Tom to feel “Happy”? What has to change in Tom’s life in order for him to be happy? When you take the time to find the answers to these questions, you know more about Tom than his mother, his dog and his parole officer. At that point, you can find solutions to apply to his life and help him achieve his goals – and, as a JV Broker, get well paid for doing so. Information is power.

Commitment

Posted in Uncategorized at 2:31 pm by Robin J. Elliott

This past weekend, we held our DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum Members Only Convention in Edmonton, AB. It was great fun. One of our Speakers said, “What is commitment? I’ll tell you. The people that showed up here are committed. Those who said they would, but didn’t, were never committed.” And she’s right. We’re all committed to something. Whatever we are most committed to will determine our choices and actions. People who attended the Forum made it their highest priority and committed to attending. And they got a massive return on that investment.

How valuable is your word to you? It’s as strong as your self respect. When you let people down, it’s not a reflection on those whom you let down; it’s a reflection of your self esteem. People who have high self respect and value themselves will never lie, cheat or break their word. They honor their word because that’s honoring themselves. They will do whatever it takes to keep their word. They’re not doing it for you - they’re doing it for themselves. And they know that the result is always worth it. E. M. Gray told us, “The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don’t like to do. They don’t like doing them either necessarily. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose.” The pay-off for integrity is wonderful.

Why don’t some people commit to anything? They avoid making a decision or a commitment. They use the word, “TRY”. They whimper, “I’ll try to make it. I’ll do my best.” What they’re REALLY saying is, “I don’t have the guts to say Yes or No, so I’m setting you up with my weak excuses right now.” TRY = To Relive Yesterday’s Failures. Elbert Hubbard said, “To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.” True winners commit and keep their word. They will pay any price not to lose their honor. They are true warriors. They believe in themselves. You can absolutely rely on them to come through for you every single time. And they expect the same from you.

Is it hard to find winners who make and keep their commitments? You bet it is. When Malcolm S. Forbes said, “One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks”, he was simply alluding to the fact that most people never finish what they start. If you really want to feel great, be congruent. Live your life according to your values. Be who you are. Tell the truth. Keep your promises. Janis Joplin said, “Don’t compromise yourself. You are all you’ve got.”

Abundance for You

Posted in Uncategorized at 12:13 pm by Robin J. Elliott

People either have an Abundance mentality or a Scarcity mentality. They either think in terms of “Shrinking Pie”, competition and threat or they see life in terms of Sharing, Generosity and Abundance. They way you look at life’s opportunities will determine what you achieve in life.
Nature is abundant – water, leaves, snow, space, stars, unlimited abundance. You can waddle down to the beach with a teaspoon or a pick-up truck – there’s enough sand. There’s as much as you want. But if you believe you can only get a teaspoonful, or if you’re convinced that you only deserve a cupful, or if you’re taught that if you take too much sand there won’t be any left over for the poor…
How much sea water do you want? Money flows like a river – it doesn’t care who it flows through.
We are creative beings. The difference between a millionaire and a struggling employee is simply leverage, belief and value. We are paid in direct proportion to the amount of value we create and the amount of people we can deliver that value to!

How much time do you have? What can you do in this time at 9 hours a day, five days a week? How many hours is that? 6,750 hours with a two week holiday every year. That’s YOUR time. Why not use Joint Ventures to acquire the time of a thousand other people as well? The only limitations we have are self imposed.
How many potential clients / customers? How big do you think?
Australia has 20 million people, Canada 32 million, the UK 60million, Germany 82 million, Mexico 106 million people, the US 296 million – how about India and China? Napoleon Hill said that “whatever the mind of man can believe and conceive, it can achieve.”

Are you operating on gasoline or on nuclear power? A pound of highly enriched uranium as used to power a nuclear submarine or nuclear aircraft carrier is equal to something on the order of a million gallons of gasoline.
When you consider that a pound of uranium is smaller than a baseball, and a million gallons of gasoline would fill a cube 50 feet per side (50 feet is as tall as a five-story building), it’s a good analogy for us to use.

Let’s equate that to work and Joint Venture leverage. Zig Ziglar said, “You can get anything you want out of life if you’re prepared to help enough other people to get what they want.” The more people you reach and help, the more money will automatically flow to you. There are no limits! When you use products and services that are duplicatable, scaleable and that cross financial, social, demographic and geographic boundaries, you can reach optimal distribution. Using intellectual property, you can avoid having your products copied and knocked off.

If you’re selling time, limiting the geographic, financial, social and demographic area you can serve, you’re chopping wood and making a fire. You don’t even have gasoline. When you find a product or service that reaches a very wide demographic and has no geographic, social, language or financial limitations or barriers, and you use JV’s to distribute that product, you have enriched uranium! The DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum was created for this purpose.
