In the late 1920s Samuel Blanc was motivated by a stubborn clogged drain in his son’s apartment in Des Moines, Iowa, to seek a better solution. By 1933 Blanc had fashioned a sewer-cleaning machine from a washing machine motor, roller skate wheels and 3/8″ steel cable. The cable rotated sharp blades to cut tree roots out of sewer lines, elimininating the tedious and expensive need to dig. Blanc’s wife Lettie called his invention the “Roto-Rooter.” It’s an amazing invention and it works very well. It cleans out those pipes and allows free, unobstructed flow.

In our lives, we have financial flow. Imagine a huge money pipe directed into your bank account. Money flows through this pipe into your bank account. Would you like to remove all the obstructions to that flow, so that you get a strong, clean, ever-increasing flow of unlimited wealth into your life? Would like to Roto-Rooter that financial pipeline? Here are a few ideas that you can use, today, to clear out all the blockages and junk.

1. First, make sure your thinking and perceptions about wealth and money are accurate and conducive to success. Clean out negative programming about money. For that, I recommend you read “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand, a book that accurately explains Capitalism. You can also visit these useful and enlightening websites: www.capmag.com, www.objectivistcenter.org and www.capitalism.org

2. Secondly, Look at your INPUT. What do you read, where do you go, what do you watch on TV, what music do you listen to, whom do you assocaite with (see #4)? This input will have a direct effect on what you believe, expect and achieve. Remove negative input and replace it with the positive.

3. Third, create a few money machines to start feeding money into that pipe. I suggest Joint Ventures as the fastest, safest, and most practical method: www.DollarMakers.com

4. Fourth, remember that your netWORK (the people you mix with) determines your netWORTH. Get rid of the leeches, parasites, losers and wannabes and associate only with winners. Join the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum.

5. Finally, what you focus on will grow. Commit to, and focus on, solutions and goals, instead of problems. Set specific, exciting, practical financial goals and focus on what you want, instead of what you don’t want. Become a Money Magnet.

6. Get rid of bad habits.

It’s quicker to change your financial life than you may think. I have found that when you mix with rich people and take their advice, you get rich. We have over 425 positive Members worldwide that are ready to help other Members to make all their dreams come true. I learn from my Members and use Joint Ventures to create multiple streams of passive income in my life. I remove blockages from that money pipeline on a regular basis. It’s easier than you think.

When the water pump in my car broke, what do you think the first question was that I asked Ray, my mechanic? Right! “How much will that cost me?” And Ray, true to form, wisely replied, “Robin, let me rather tell you what it will cost you if you DON’T replace that water pump…” It’s wonderful to know that Ray takes care of everything. Any car problems can be solved by Ray. I take my car to him and he fixes it. I do whatever he tells me to do, because I HATE working on cars. I have no idea how they work and I don’t care. I just want them to take me where I want to go in comfort and luxury. Ray makes sure that that happens. I have absolute peace of mind. Ray is like a ray of sunshine on a stormy day.

Most people are unconsciously incompetent. That means that they don’t know that they don’t know. They know ABOUT things, but that’s not the same as understanding things, right? Right. I am consciously incompetent. There is a LOT of stuff that I don’t know and don’t understand and will never understand, and that’s why I find smart people like Ray. I have a powerful, mean machine lawyer that will eat my opponent’s tonsils for breakfast. He’s very expensive and the best there is. He will turn my attacker’s life into a living hell. That gives me peace of mind. My accountant makes sure that everything financial is ship shape. My computer guy tells me what computers to buy and fixes them when they break. I know what I don’t know, and I find people to tell me what to do in those areas.

Which brings me to the point of this article. Ever heard the saying, “Pearls before swine”? I recently had someone approach me for help. She had lost her job – in retrospect, she was probably fired – and lied that she had only enough money to last her for three months. I spent two precious, irreplaceable hours of my life with her, at no cost to her, telling her how to use Joint Ventures to make money. She did nothing. Two months later, I hear that she is still unemployed and is spending thousands on self-development seminars all over the place. She had money and she lied that she didn’t have any. She wasted my time. She will not get any more time from me.

When you have a challenge to overcome or a goal you want to reach, find someone who is competent, qualified and very good at what they do. Then get their assistance and advice. Then, FOLLOW their advice to the letter. That is what smart people do. Imagine going to a doctor for help to overcome a medical condition. He prescribes a diet, which you partially follow. He prescribes drugs, some of which you neglect to take. He prescribes certain, specific exercises, which you simply ignore. Do you expect to recover?

My first business mentor, George Choriatopoulos, told me, “Robin, if you do EXACTLY what I tell you to do, in EXACTLY the way I tell you to do it, you will get rich. Don’t waste my time, second-guess me or try to reinvent the wheel. Get your ego out of the way. If you had money, you wouldn’t need this advice. So you don’t know how to make money, but I do. Get rich or stay poor – your choice – I don’t need you – I’m already rich. Follow the proven formula, Robin, and you’ll do very well.” I was 34 years old, consciously incompetent, hungry, determined, and open to learn. I followed George’s instructions and it worked for me.
When your mechanic tells you to replace your water pump, DO it. Or suffer the consequences! Easy or hard -your choice.

Robin J. Elliott www.dollarmakers.com www.JVWisdom.com

When you’re facing choices in your life, it’s important to be very careful who gives you advice. Anyone who has a vested interest in the outcome of your choices will skew their advice and input to suit their own selfish ends. Does your “financial planner” tell you that you need millions in the bank before you can retire, when in reality all you need is for your passive income from Joint Ventures to exceed your cost of living? Why does he tell you that you need millions? Because he wants to get his commission on whatever he sells you, of course.

Any salesperson has a stake, that’s obvious. And that doesn’t make salespeople bad, it just makes them biased. Subjective. Even dishonest. I am always amazed when I hear the ridiculous questions people ask salespeople: “Does this work well? Is it reliable? Can’t I get a better deal anywhere else? Is this the best there is?” What do you expect them to tell you? “No, sir, if you potter off down the street you’ll find a better product at half the price”? Wake up and smell the coffee! Go online and do your research – do your own due diligence. Don’t ask the salesperson!

Do you think your boss wants you to start your own business? He will tell you that you will assuredly fail. When I fired my boss 19 years ago, he told me that I would fail in my own business and that he’d keep my job for me. How about most politicians? Do you honestly believe they care about what’s good for you? All they want is to keep their jobs. They will do whatever it takes to keep their jobs and get their pensions. I said “most” politicians – I’m sure there are one or two honest ones.

We need to form alliances with people who are smart enough to give us good advice, yet have no stake in the decisions we make. We need objective, sane, wise guidance. Ask yourself, “What’s in it for them?” I like to use third party testimonials on my websites because those people have no vested interest in my business. We need people who will tell us the truth, not try to placate us or please us. We need a few mentors and friends who have nothing to gain from our endeavors.

This doesn’t mean we need to question everything a salesperson tells us or become too cynical to be able to think straight. It just means that we should be very realistic about human nature. Ask someone from one religion what they think of another religion. What do you think the answer will be? Which brings me to the subject of cults. I know people who work for a huge cult – they do training under the umbrella of that cult. I realized very early in the day that they would NEVER refer business to me, unless I joined their cult! They will take, but they will never give. It’s simple group dynamics. You’re either one of them, or you’re a lost outsider. And they will always try to convert the people they train, to their cult.

There are a lot of cults out there, not only religious cults. Don’t forget that their sole purpose is to recruit you and convert you and all your friends. They will tell you whatever it takes to get you into their group. That is their purpose. Don’t expect a reasonable business relationship with them. Be objective, realistic and unattached.

Remember what Ayn Rand said: “Freedom is to ask for nothing, to expect nothing, to depend on nothing”. That is why I use Joint Ventures to maintain my financial freedom – I do not rely on any one person – I am unattached and free.

Every cult can be defined as a group having all of the following 5 characteristics:
1. It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate, and retain its members
2. It forms an elitist totalitarian society
3. Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable and has charisma
4. It believes ‘the end justifies the means’ in order to solicit funds and recruit people
5. Its wealth does not benefit its members or society

I was 23 years old and managing a large, private hotel. One morning, I was having breakfast with my then wife and my baby son, when I saw the owner of the hotel go by the door carrying a table. Strange, but I continued to eat. Then he passed with an armful of tablecloths. When he staggered past with a baine marie insert, I finally realized that something was amiss. I asked him what he was doing, and Mr. Honey, the best manager I ever met, calmly relied, “Oh, Robin, don’t worry – you have your breakfast with your family. I’m just helping set up the conference room – we have twenty minutes before the guests arrive. I’ll be fine.” I nearly died. I NEVER forgot a function again. He didn’t embarrass me, attack me or reprimand me – he just intervened. He saved my skin and taught me a very important lesson.

Any good manager knows this – once you have delegated a task, make sure you regularly check progress, activity, and results. Make sure the person to whom you delegated the task is on track, much as you would check road signs and the gas gauge and
Odometer in your car when you’re on a journey. Inspect what you expect, so that if / when things go awry, you can step in and make corrections. Like a guided missile – constant, small corrections are made to stay on target. That’s what a good manager does. Most restaurant managers have never heard of this, that’s why he’s hiding in his office while his waiters stand with their backs to the guests, discussing their dates, but I digress.

Just as one would regularly check up on an employee, the same principle applies to Joint Venture partnerships. Naturally, we have a contract or a Memorandum of Understanding going in to the JV, and we usually have an action plan with specifically stated responsibilities, timelines, expectations, payment systems, etc, but you STILL have to inspect what you expect. We have to manage the JV. Take responsibility for that, and you will be surprised how many people do not deliver what they promise, forget what they agreed to, make mistakes, fail to communicate and play games. Don’t think that everyone else is as disciplined, committed, and hard working as you are.

The most successful managers are very good at subtle, random spot checks. They have a way of checking up without seeming to snoop. They can motivate and inspire while checking on progress. They can tactfully steer one back on track without embarrassment or hurt feelings. When I did my Underwater One scuba training, we were taught the mantra, “Equalize early and often” to protect our eardrums. In Joint Ventures, inspect early and often to protect the JV and the bottom line. If you’re off course just two degrees, it may not seem like a big deal right now, but over time that two degrees becomes 180 degrees. Inspect early and often. Manage the JV and you will do yourself and everyone else a favor. Communicate regularly, discuss challenges immediately and be available – don’t hide away when things are out of kilter.

What would you do if I could guarantee you a lottery win? If you were guaranteed a huge amount of money within a specific amount of time, how hard would you be prepared to work? If someone said, “I will guarantee you $300,000 within one year if you’re prepared to do whatever I tell you to do, focus and work 14 hours a day?” (Note, I’m playing down the numbers here to accommodate a wide audience.)

What stops people from believing in exciting possibilities and committing to them? Why do they need guarantees from other people? I don’t know – maybe they have let themselves down in life and they no longer trust themselves. Maybe they have had some bad things happen to them so now they’re super cynical. Perhaps they think anything beyond survival is “too good to be true”… That’s why I would like to offer you a guarantee right now.

I guarantee you that you will reap in direct proportion to what you sow. I guarantee you that what you think about, will come about. I guarantee you that if you mix with winners and do what winners do, you will get the results that winners do. I guarantee you that there is no limit to the amount of money you can make, given the right products and services, the right business model, the right tools and support, the right market and the right attitude. And I guarantee you that it’s never too late to start over. How’s that?

In my business, we have unlimited earning potential for our Members (we only work with Members.) We have a unique service and products that almost anyone can use, a massive, unlimited, worldwide market, easy distribution, proven tools and all the guidance, training, and support required. There is literally no limit to the amount of money you can make working with us. And the cost of getting involved is ridiculously low – under $200. This is not MLM or some Internet Wealth or Real Estate Investment scheme – this I real business in the real world for real money, real fast. It’s like winning the lottery. This is true regardless of your circumstances or background, so don’t use that as an excuse.

But only if you believe it. So ask yourself the following questions: Do most of the people in the world want more money? If you had what they all wanted, could you make money by helping them to get it? (Especially if the price to them was very low) If you didn’t have to sell anything and you had all the tools, could you enthusiastically take action? If your answers are yes, you believe. One last question: On a scale of one to ten, one being “I don’t care” and ten being, “whatever it takes”, are you on a twelve? If so, Congratulations! You have just won the lottery. Al you have to do now is commit yourself to work hard for a period of time, and you’ve got it. Interested? Contact us for more information.

Only dead fish swim with the current. Every year, Rika and I watch the salmon swimming upstream at various rivers. We walk down to Hoy Creek and stand on the bridge to see them. We enjoy watching them leap and struggle and fight their way upstream. Their persistence, resilience, and strength are very motivating to watch.

Too many people like to run with the herd. Like the buffalo, whose eyes are on the sides of their heads, people look at what the mob does and follows it over the cliff. Winners look ahead. They are goal-oriented and determined to reach their objectives. When the crowd runs east, winners run west. The salmon swim hundreds of miles upstream against rugged rapids, preyed upon by hungry eagles and bears. They don’t stop until they die. The Fraser River is perhaps best knows as North America’s greatest salmon river. We live 25 minutes away from this mighty river and in August, you can see the salmon on their way upstream.

Let’s get excited about our goals and be prepared, like the salmon, to pay the price for the achievement of our goals.

It Is Better To Be Alone, Than In The Wrong Company.

Tell me who your best friends are, and I will tell you who you are.

If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl.

But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights.

A mirror reflects a mans face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate for the good and the bad.

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity.

An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative

Thinking and negative acting people.

As you grow, your associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on.They will want you to stay where they are.

Friends that don’t help you climb will want you to crawl.

Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream.

Those that don’t increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider This: Never receive counsel from unproductive people.
Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how.

Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person.
Don’t follow anyone who’s not going anywhere.

With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it.
Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life.
Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships.

I am glad you decided to become part of this great DollarMakers group.
With you, I know I am in the right company
Let’s soar !

Two farmers used to sell their potatoes at the market. One would take hours packing the potatoes in layers – small ones at the bottom, big ones on top, so that they were properly sorted when they got to the market. The other farmer would simply throw all the potatoes into the truck together, regardless of size, and race along bumpy roads to the market, thereby saving lots of time and effort. When he got to the market, the potatoes had sorted themselves according to size – the big potatoes on top, and the lower they were, the smaller they got. Big potatoes always rise to the top.

In life, big potatoes are winners and small potatoes are losers. Big potatoes might start off at the bottom and endure a bumpy road, but in time they will always rise to the top of any endeavor or situation. I see that with immigrants. They might get here with nothing, but the winners will wind up above some people that have been in the country all their lives. Losers, on the other hand, will arrive in their new country with money and expectations, but in a relatively short period, they will go to the level they belong at. The real self will emerge. Trailer park trash will end up in a trailer park. And that’s because they revert to the kind of trash thinking and choices they made before.

We decide whether we will be big potatoes or small potatoes, and it’s never too late to change. Small potatoes can become big potatoes, no question about it. That’s what’s great about life – we can always change. The past doesn’t have to be equal to the future. Every day is a new opportunity to start over. Today IS the first day of the rest of your life. And no matter how difficult your circumstances are, have faith and remember that if your thinking is positive and your choices are right, you’re a big potato, and big potatoes ALWAYS rise to the top,

Big potatoes are disciplined, determined, courageous, and honest. They don’t quit and they believe in themselves and in their goals. They delay gratification, surround themselves with winners, and work hard. They live lives of integrity and focus. While others accept mediocrity and compromise, big potatoes demand the best of themselves and are prepared to pay the price of success. In the end, they reap what they sow and find themselves at the top of the heap, every time.

“A Waiter is a waiter, because he thinks like a waiter, not an owner”. How true. I heard this on a CD by Brian Klemmer. Employees focus on problems, while owners focus on solutions. Employees watch the clock while owners watch the bottom line. Employees think in terms of what they don’t have, while owners think in terms of what they can have. Scarcity or abundance, half full or half empty… Do you focus on the limitations or the opportunities? Do you take responsibility for your future or do you blame your low income on your employer or the economy?

Imagine a waiter that thought like an owner. He would innovate, add value, work longer hours, create change, and eventually open his own restaurant. Now imagine an owner that thought like a waiter! He will blame, hide, work too little, and go bankrupt as many do. He would make excuses. Your mindset will determine your choices and your results. When I teach people to broker Joint Ventures, I always say, “You can own the tollbooth, or you can work in a tollbooth- your choice!” I see 50 year-old waiters and I know they have no ambition to own a business. They’re happy to be employees, and that’s fine. But it’s not because they CAN’T own a restaurant! We choose our futures and then we create them.

Any entrepreneur who still thinks like an employee is doomed to failure. That’s why 87% of new businesses fail in the first five years. It’s fine if you buy a franchise, because that’s basically buying a job. Franchisors don’t want free thinkers, strong personalities, or entrepreneurs; they want robots, clones, and employees. Napoleon Hill told us, “Whatever the mind of man can believe and conceive it can achieve”. Your thoughts, expectations, and beliefs create your choices and your future. It all starts in your head.

Let’s think like millionaire entrepreneurs. Want to know what thoughts they think? Read their books and listen to their teachings. If you think their thoughts, you’ll get their results. What you think about comes about. What you focus on grows bigger. Your outlook is your bankbook and your netWORK determines your netWORTH. So mix with owners and you’ll become like them. Mix with losers and don’t be surprised when you realize one day, with a shock, that you’re a loser, too. You’re in control, so today you can decide: “Do I want to be a waiter, serving rich people who deign to throw me a few crumbs, or do I want to be waited on? Do I want to clean the boat or own it?” Your only limitations are in your head.

Now, let’s talk about fear of the future. Imagine if you were asked to walk alone, along a long, dark road and you knew that there were many thieves and murderers lurking in the shadows. In your personal or business life, it’s scary to face life alone, isn’t it? Well, imagine if you had forty strong soldiers to accompany you along the way. Would you still be afraid? If attentive and learned counselors, bodyguards and advisors, surrounded you, it would be a cakewalk. At a seminar I presented in Toronto this week, one of the Members, Judy Davidson, said to the audience, “When I offer somebody a Joint Venture, I tell them that I have four hundred other Members behind me.” Think about that!

The DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum was created to provide entrepreneurs the support, guidance, and access they need to succeed magnificently in Joint Ventures. At the same time, strong, committed relationships are being developed. Friendships are forming that support our members in their personal and business lives. Knowledge and support makes one confident and that fear of the future dissipates like dew on a hot, summer day. Every day we have the opportunity to create a better future. Along with other winners, we know that we have no limitations. Together, we can do amazing things. All the support, understanding, and encouragement are right there when you need it, from hundreds of other caring Members worldwide.

How do you eat an elephant? Bite by bite. Baby steps. One day at a time. Hold hands with other Members and step out. Dare to dream and then dare to DO. Confront your fears and do what you dread and you will be amazed that it’s always easier than it looks.

When I was in the army in 1971, I heard a very interesting story about two men who were sworn enemies from childhood. They hated one another with a deep passion and their nightmares became a reality when they were conscripted into the South African Army. Not because they were conscripted - we were all conscripted – but because they ended up in the same platoon, sharing the same bungalow! They fought almost daily and this was a drain on their fellow soldiers during bootcamp.

Their officers decided on a course of action that they had used before. They put these two characters into a helicopter and flew them into the desert, where they had them store all their food and water on the top of a steep, rocky hill. The only way to get to the top of this hill was to climb up the sheer sides together, using ropes and the training they had received during bootcamp. If they didn’t get to the top of the hill, where they had stored their food, water and radio, they would die of thirst and hunger. They were forced to work together to achieve this common goal.

As you can imagine, many serious fights ensued, but eventually they worked together to get to the top of the hill, where they ate and drank and called the chopper in to fetch them. They became the best of friends, went into business together when they got out of the army, and did very well. They remained friends for life. Their common goal forced them to overcome their differences and find a way to work together. The principles they learnt that day, and the discipline, teamwork, and responsibility they learned in the army, helped them to become successful in life and in their business together.

When people are passionate about a common objective, they can put aside their differences and achieve amazing results. Joint Ventures is a vehicle that can help people reach their goals, because together, we can do amazing things!

Let’s consider two people who both have access to the same products and services, the same training, the same market, the same promotional and marketing tools and the same support. One makes a fortune and the other one sells nothing. The one who sells nothing thinks people don’t want the product or service. He complains that it’s the wrong price, wrong season, wrong product. He whimpers that he “tried his best” and that he “can’t force people to buy”. The product is the wrong color, there’s a spelling mistake in the brochure, it rained on Wednesday, people have no money… He has many excuses for his failure to sell, while the other goes from strength to strength. What happened? I’ll tell you.

It has nothing to do with the sales techniques, prospects, pricing, features, weather, government, or support. If one other person is successfully selling it in the same market, it works. It has very little to do with anything else except YOU. Here is what makes the difference. First of all, the product or service has to be working for YOU. If you haven’t made it work in your own life, you might not believe in it. Or you won’t have the same passion and belief. You certainly won’t be very enthusiastic about it. However, if you threw yourself into it with wild abandon, full focus and absolute commitment, it would be hard to fail. Your level of confidence would go through the roof. You would radiate success. And people would buy.

People buy YOU before they buy any product or service. Enthusiasm is contagious. When you are absolutely convinced, sold, passionate, enthusiastic and confident about what you’re offering, it’s hard NOT to sell. How do you increase your level of confidence, excitement and zeal? I will use an example of a real life case study in my own business to illustrate this. The good news is that the turnaround can be very quick, depending on how badly the “salesperson” wants to succeed. The fact is, when you’re on track, you don’t need to sell – you just introduce the option and people will buy!

“Tom” approached me about making a solid, regular, increasing income from DollarMakers. He had tried introducing a few friends but his approach was weak, tentative, and uninformed. He wasn’t very confident or excited. I suggested he takes the time to read all the articles on my Blog and listen to all the podcasts on DollarMakers.com and immerse himself in the information available on the websites, read my book and attend all the Members Meetings and Members Conference Calls. I told him to get involved and make the time to commit fully. His confidence started increasing along with his self-esteem. He knew the product. He understood why people needed it. He believed in it. He started finding Joint Ventures coming to him. He started making money. When he spoke about the Forum and what we have to offer, he did so with conviction and power. His sales soared. We sell what we are. When we transmit success, we attract good people. People want to be around successful people.

Sales are about conviction, commitment, and enthusiasm. It’s about projection, sincerity, and belief. YOU determine your sales and nobody else. That’s good news, because it means that you can change the results you’ve been getting!

Here’s a simple way to retire. If you have more income than you need to live comfortably, and that income is passive (that means you don’t have to continually work in order to generate it) you can retire. Here are the steps to generate that income. Realize, first, that “You gotta be specific to be terrific!” You need to know exactly how much you need per month. That’s a very important step. Next, you have to find at least ten sources of that income. Why so many? So that you don’t have all your proverbial eggs nestling quietly in one basket. In today volatile world, where things are constantly changing, we need to spread our risk so that we can survive the dropping, bombing and stealing of baskets.

So now you know how much you need, you find ten people, whom you trust, respect and admire, and who are successful, and you approach each one to find out what they want. You discover what’s in it for you. “If I can get you this, how much will you pay me?” If these people are smart and successful, they’ll tell you in a heartbeat. I recently had someone approach me and he wanted a job and a salary of $5,000 per month. I showed him how he, or anyone else, can easily earn that in my business, but he wasn’t prepared to get paid for results. So we’re not going to work together. He was averse to work and responsibility. But any savvy entrepreneur can show you exactly what he wants and provide you all the marketing and sales information you want.

Now you link up supply and demand. If you link ten good peoples’ needs to the rest of the ten, you have one hundred transactions. Or Joint Ventures. When these transactions are repeated, you create multiple streams of income. If you need six thousand dollars a month, ask each of these ten people what it will take for them to write you a check every month for one thousand dollars. Or three, or five. Spread your income. John Smith wants people to buy his accounting services and he will pay you $50 per client, per month. He needs 20 clients. He offers a Gift Certificate for a complimentary consultation. You distribute there certificates to the databases of the other nine people and generate business for John. John sends you a check every month, starting at $50 and growing. Some sales are once off, but earn you high amounts of commission. You put the machinery in place to generate those sales on a regular basis. It all adds up. When your income exceeds your expenditure, Ka-Ching! You’ve retired!

Where do you find the people? The DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum has hundreds of Members worldwide for you to work with. How do you get access? Join the Forum. How do you learn to do all this? We will teach you – get the tools from us. Joint Venture Brokers create multiple streams of passive income with no money and no risk. I have done this for 19 years and so can you.

Your first step is to decide how badly you want to retire. One a scale of one to ten, one being “I don’t care” and ten being “whatever it takes”, I’m looking for tens.

Step two: Join the Forum and get the tools and education. It’s very affordable, believe me. And you get all the support and guidance you need through our Members meetings, training, conference calls and Conventions.

Step three is to take consistent, enthusiastic, passionate action. And get free.

Don’t we all get stuck in a rut? We get so used to thinking the same way that we tend to close off new options almost automatically. As we become more conditioned and get older, we tend to increase our cynicism and skepticism and become less amenable to new ideas. We develop a blind spot for anything that we associate with pain, discomfort, embarrassment, or failure. Our neuro associations cripple us. Past, hurtful experiences hobble us. We get set in our ways. When you become a Joint Venture Broker, this is a very expensive and detrimental mindset. It will exclude you from multiple, lucrative JV options! How can we open up the channels so that Joint Ventures start to flow to us? Do you rememeber how a famous person explained “Interrupting a pattern?” When his client was whining about a lost boyfriend, he threw a glass of cold water in her face. He asked silly, unconnected questions in the middle of her diatribe. Eventually, the negative interpretation and connection between losing the boyfriend and feeling bad was broken. It’s all in our heads.

Movement creates power, magnetism, and electricity. Action is essential to exposure. In order to snap your brain out of that rut, to rise above your comfort level and to break your addiction to comfort, you need to get actively involved in meeting new people and associating with new ideas and business concepts. Break the bonds of conditioning by purposeful moving out of your comfort zone. Read books and listen to interviews that are diametrically opposed to your philosophy and religion. Listen to music in order to open up your right brain. Make yourself vulnerable. Confront your fears. Ask the painful questions. Admit your concerns. Dare to do what you dread. Get involved. Sow massivly in order to reap massively. Take action! Meet people!

As yourself these questions: “What would it take for me to move across the world to an unknown country? How much money would make me do what I consider the most difficult. What stops me from doing what I know I would need to do to accomplish this goal?” Ask yourself who it would be most difficult for you to call on the telephone. Ask why. Then call them. Ask yourself a lot of “What if?” questions. “What if so-and-so died tomorrow? What if I lost my job tomorrow? What if I was offered a hundred thousand dollars to move to Siberia for two years?” Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” Stretch it.

We have to plan a course out of our comfort zone. We have to take massive action. We have to confront and overcome our fears and seriously question our beliefs and philosophy, in order to excel in Joint Ventures. We have to be able to bravely accommodate new concepts and consider new approaches. Most of all, we need to commit. When you become a Joint Venture Broker, you are no longer imprisoned by your own limited frame of reference. Suddenly, you can borrow the frames of reference of thousands of other people. Your horizons and options can expand and multiply thousands of times overnight. Your courage is determined by your belief, self-confidence, and hunger to achieve your goals. Your success is in directly proportion to your commitment.

When people realize that they can become full time JV brokers and create an unlimited income, they have to make a decision. “Will I throw myself into this with everything I have? Will I focus my time and energy and do whatever it takes? Am I prepared to make this a long-term commitment? How hungry am I?” After all, there is no real financial investment. There is, however, an emotional investment. Anne Morriss said, “The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating.” W.H. Murray, the explorer, wrote: “Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings, and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”
The word, “DECIDE”, is from the latin “Decidere” , which means “To kill off any other aletrnatives”.
Snap out of fear and into abundance. Become a money magnet.

We’ve all experienced a business slump – it could be a seasonal thing, or a real business producer left your employ, or the market changed. Whatever the reason, you’re in a slump. Sales are down, people are scared, jobs are at risk, and cashflow is choking you. When that happens, people often allow their emotions to cloud their perspective. They make mental pictures of outcomes they fear. Molehills become mountains in their minds. They start to overreact, blame, complain, and point fingers. They forget that things don’t stay the same and that difficulties are what make business so much fun. Imagine playing a game of squash with a weak opponent – how satisfying is that win?

When people experience business slumps they often do some stupid things, like offending the wrong people, biting the hand that feeds them, pressurizing customers for sales, hiding from creditors, and getting negative. Desperate people do desperate things and there are always consequences. Instead of panicking and overreacting in a state of fear and aggression, there is a better way to turn things around. Imagine a fellow on a yacht. The wind changes. Does he start crying to his mommy and hide in the hold? Does he start complaining that the wind is unreliable? Does he blame the fellow who sold him the yacht or fight with his crew? No! He calmly adjusts his sails and enjoys the journey.

Smart entrepreneurs and salespeople understand that vicissitudes are a normal part of business. They realize that cool heads will prevail, and that there is a solution to every problem. They ask for guidance from levelheaded associates and mentors. They objectively evaluate their situation and options, without losing sight of their objectives and goals. They realize that they are merely facing a detour, not a disaster. The traffic light is yellow or red – the road hasn’t been closed for all eternity. It’s a temporary setback and this is an opportunity to learn and grow. When one door closes, ten more open up. It’s hard to be creative and objective when you allow fear to grip your throat.

I have experienced many business slumps. The reason why I overcame them is that I use a simple formula that I learned a long time ago. Here it is:

1. First, attitude: Don’t get emotional. It’s only business. It’s a game. Don’t be attached and get your ego out of your way. It’s not personal. It’s normal. It’s nobody’s fault. I am personally responsible for sorting it out. Blaming others or getting angry and resentful won’t help me. I am calm, detached, relaxed, supremely confident, and committed to my objectives. I am flexible and determined. I never quit. This is simply a bump on the road to success.

2. Second, insight: Whom can I spend time with to get perspective and advice on this issue? Who is strong, smart, successful, and experienced? Whom can I approach in this regard? What about my Mastermind group?

3. What actions and processes do I need to change, stop, innovate, initiate, and find? When reacting to a perceived threat, we choose between fight and flight. Losers run away, smoke, drink, and hide. Winners get motivated and take productive action. When the going gets tough, the tough get going. The weak retreat and go looking for another “Opportunity”. What do I have to DO? What ACTION can I take? Do what is uncomfortable and you will solve the problems much faster. When you’re busy, you don’t have time to worry. But make sure you’re busy doing things that move your business forward.

4. Innovation: This is the opportunity to become creative – to transmute fear into creativity. That is why Joint Ventures are the missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle of business, the correct combination to the safe. With Joint Ventures, most business problems can be overcome quickly with no cost or risk. Together, we can utilize and liberate existing resources fast to turn that ship around.

5. Finally, this is where relationships are so important in business. If you took the time to build solid relationships and value in the good times, you can call on those same people in hard times. Joint Ventures are built on firm relationship foundations.

I have always found that difficult circumstances reveal the real person. Tha mask drops off - the facades evaporate and you find out whom you’re really dealing with. I welcome difficulties. They make me strong and reveal important facts to me. They push me to the next level of success. They force new innovation and creativity.
Don’t quit, my friend. Hang in there and don’t jump ship. The next ship is going to bring you the same problem. When you overcome the problem that now faces you, it will never be a threat to you again.

The majority of people don’t like change. So when we go to the fair or watch a parade, we see pretty much the same as we did last year and the year before that. We are creatures of habit. We like things to stay the same. Now I think that some things should stay the same, like commitment, values, integrity, high morals, and standards and commitment. But have you noticed that the most successful businesses are constantly changing, improving, upgrading and updating, adding value and adjusting to meet the needs of the consumer and the marketplace?

Change and adapt or die. Innovate or slide into oblivion. The only constant in life is change. If we keep on doing what we’ve always done, we WON’T get what we’ve always got – we will go backwards. Change the rules, but maintain your ambition and passion. Get rid of the deadwood, but don’t be disloyal. By all means make mistakes, but don’t repeat them. Because business continues to change at an ever-increasing rate, it is imperative that we change. But in conventional business, change can be very expensive. Renovations, new inventory, and changes in technology can destroy your cashflow – damned if you do, damned if you don’t. A double bind.

The answer to change is flexibility and the freedom and ability to change as fast, or faster, than your competitors are. Mean and lean. The best way to accomplish this ability is to become a Joint Venture Broker. As a JV Broker, you can participate in and benefit from multiple industries and businesses simultaneously. You can get in and out fast, with no cost or risk to you, by leveraging existing resources. No investment necessary. No geographic, political, financial, or demographic boundaries or barriers. Only unlimited opportunity. And JV’s take very little time to put in place. Most entrepreneurs work in a tollbooth. JV Brokers OWN the tollbooths.

Yes, you don’t have to risk the farm or your RRSP /401K savings. You don’t have to lie awake at night or open tomorrow’s newspaper in a stat of fear and trembling. You can walk away from anything. You don’t have to work like a demon and neglect your family. You can enjoy business and enjoy your life. While others work to make you money and create multiple streams of passive income for you, you can sip a martini and watch the History Channel – because risk and hard work is history for Joint Venture Brokers. And you can learn how to do this for peanuts. Find out how here: www.dollarmakers.com It’s what we do – we make dollars.

This was written to support a good friend who was discouraged when his excellent teaching was pronounced “selfish, arrogant and unrealistic” by an altruistic, collectivist bureaucrat.

If you’re an idealist, a visionary, self disciplined and driven, you have probably heard the words, “I don’t understand” more times than you would like to remember. You can make something ridiculously simple, yet you will still find people suggesting you “simplify” the idea even more. You suggest they read a book and they whine because “it’s a thick book”, but if you added all the TV programs, People Magazines, romance novels and sports pages they slobber over, it’s not about volume at all. Be not discouraged. This is to remind you that you’re right on track.

Yes. If you don’t have people whimpering that they don’t understand, that “You’ll upset people”, that you’re unrealistic, abrasive, money mad and / or rebellious, you’re a wimp. Hate mail is a compliment to winners. When the mystics attack you, you’re on target. When you have dunces announce that your laughably uncomplicated idea “doesn’t make sense” and you get asked to repeat it for the twentieth time, you’re doing the right thing. There are only three things to remember in order to maintain your perspective and sanity: IQ, Excuses and Pareto.

First of all, the average IQ is 100. Most people are simply too stupid to understand you. They’re so conditioned and confused that they will never comprehend what you’re teaching. Their frame of reference is so limited and stifled that they think no further than the next cigarette, football game or makeup counter. My Dad used to say, “You can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear.” You can’t make people smart. They get it or they don’t get it. When I present a seminar, my benchmark is the few people in the room with whom I would like to do business. If they like and understand my message, I’ve done my job.

Secondly, people will make excuses to avoid the fact that they have no ambition, guts, or self-esteem. “That ‘Atlas Shrugged’ book is far too big to read – I don’t have the time”. BS – you have 24 hours a day, just like me. You’re just threatened. Turn Jerry Springer off and learn to read, buddy. “I don’t understand – you need to explain that again” – I have news for you, moron – you will never understand, because if you did it would mean that you have to take responsibility for your miserable life and your future.

And thirdly, we know that Vilfredo Pareto explained the “vital few and trivial many” – 20% of people produce 80% of the results. I humbly submit that he was a generous optimist. Try 95 – 5. OK, let’s be nice – 10% of people are worth your time, at best. Sure, you can offer your pearls to the whole world, but only 10% will grab the ball and run with it. The swine will trample and waste them. You have to kiss 95 frogs to find a prince. Get some wart medicine and get used to it. The tall trees catch the wind and the top of the ladder is never crowded. If you want to be a tall tree, learn to love the wind. Embrace it as evidence that you’re winning. Let’s be very selective, very realistic, and very protective of our time and resources. Invest in the 10% of people who take responsibility, have brains, and are motivated and honest.

By all means, put your quest on the fast track by remembering this. Forget about political correctness, trying to please all the people all of the time and adjusting your sails to accommodate the brain dead. Compromise leads to mediocrity. Mediocrity is a cancer that will undermine you success, slow you down and hurt your mission. Be strong and courageous. If you’re honest an your motive is pure, by all means tell the truth and set some people free. When the going gets tough, you get tougher and more determined. Surround yourself with winners, and fight on.

Reputation / Credibility:
He was introduced to me by someone for whom I have the greatest respect and admiration, and I was told that that they had known one another for 18 years. He did everything he said he would do, attended my seminar, showed up on time, joined the JV Forum and has attends every Bootcamp. He’s never late for meetings and always well prepared. He returns calls and e-mails promptly.

Business Concept:
He bases his business on many years of success and experience, offering a product that can be used by the vast majority of adults who definitely know that they need it. Wide demographic who wants and needs what he sells. Great margins. Clearly communicated message. Backed by solid research and proof.

Strategy:
Business opportunity format where the person buying the bizop actually makes money, unlike many other scams. No selling required, piggyback on large retailers. Full support and he gets you in the door. Best of all, he is riding on the wave of thousands of saddened MLM’ers who had their business closed down but still believe fervently in their product – (the same as his, but his is better!) they can now join him and get a really good deal in a real business for a change. And his affordable product offer has massive added value as well.

Big Picture
His big picture is enormous – an exciting vision based on real distribution, real, increasing need and a win/ win deal.

Barriers to Entry
Laughable – easily affordable – under $15,000 – and no selling or guessing required.

Here is someone who has thought through his business, used his experience, and put together a very compelling offer. It’s nice to see that there are still ethical, smart entrepreneurs out there who have something worthwhile to offer people who are serious about success. For more information on this opportunity, e-mail me.

I wish everyone wore one of those Italian charm bracelets that enable you to choose the charms and simply clip them on. When I was sitting next to one of our Joint Venture Forum Members and reading her charm bracelet in Toronto the other day, I saw Mother Mary and “I Love Polar Bears”, so I asked her about her faith and the significance of the polar bear on her charm bracelet. A very interesting conversation ensued, in which I got to know her at a deeper level. When I got to the airport to fly home, I went to a booth selling these charm bracelets and bought a bunch for my daughter. It was interesting deciding which charms to buy her, (it took me a full hour) and also very interesting to see what charms are available, including “I Hate Men”, “Support Our Troops”, “Las Vegas”, “Daddy’s Girl”, “I Love My Man” (Note – not one reference to ‘Husband’), “Quilting”, pictures of dogs and cats, birthstones, cartoons, colleges, flags, music… you name it!

Bill Bernbach said, “Nothing is so powerful as an insight into human nature, what compulsions drive a man, what instincts dominate his action, even though his language so often camouflages what really motivates him. For if you know these things about a man you can touch him at the core of his being.” The more you know about someone, the more effectively you can communicate with them, help them, understand them, and love them. We’re always looking for tells and clues and information about the people we want to know better, and open-ended questions work very well. What books do they read? What are their religious beliefs? A charm bracelet could tell you a lot in a short amount of time. A website could tell you a lot, too, but not as much personal information. The charm bracelet is about who they really are, whereas a website (as opposed to a Blog or a Vlog) tells you what they want you to think about them.

We can also learn a lot from the words that people use. When you hear, “I will try” (TRY= To Relive Yesterday’s Failures), “I’ll do my best” “I can’t guarantee anything” or excuses, you know you’re talking to a non-starter. When you hear, “Let’s make it happen”, “Whatever it takes”, “It’s as good as done”, “Piece of cake” and “You can count on me”, you’re talking to an Eagle. Read that bumper sticker. Take note of the charms on her bracelet. Don’t talk about yourself but learn about others to see if you are even interested in working with them. Information, properly applied, is power. Perception is reality. Make sure you know who the person is behind the mask.

Here’s an interesting project. Visit this webpage and choose 20 charms for yourself. You might learn something about your own values, expectations, beliefs, and aspirations. And if you want to find over 400 top Joint Venture Partners, join the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum: Click here.

Lucinda was enmeshed in three different Network Marketing companies, two seminar programs, a sleepy, non-productive service club, and a dead-end job. She complained to me that she just didn’t have the time or money for anything new, in spite of the fact that she was going nowhere fast. Too many people are mired in time-consuming, money-wasting, distracting activities and thought processes that effectively prevent them for moving on and reaching worthwhile goals. Or they leap from one “opportunity seminar” to the next, spending time and money, and never taking consistent action. They grab every fad, from Self Development courses to Internet wealth schemes to currency trading to MLM to Real Estate Investment, take a few bites, discard it, and go running off to the next one.

When ground staff used to remove the wooden blocks from in front of the wheels of aircraft, they used to announce, “Chocks away!”
You have to leave the shore in order to reach Treasure Island.
You need to remove certain activities from your 24 hours in order to make place for new activities.
And when your fishing line is caught in the rocks, you need to “Cut bait” if you want to continue fishing.

There comes a time when you have to clear the decks, cut bait, close accounts, resign from committees and clubs, and remove all non-productive activities and commitments from your life, so that you can concentrate all your resources, attention, and energy on something that is really going to work. Cast off from the deck of mediocrity and quiet desperation. Cut the losers and pessimists out of your life. I have found that the people who focus and apply themselves with unwavering commitment for the long term can’t help but get rich and enjoy their lives.

You can’t chase two rabbits or ride two bicycles at the same time. You can’t serve two masters. Sooner or later, you have to settle on one money machine and make it work, instead of rushing off to the next fad as soon as you hit a little barrier or detour. The strong hang in there and persist.

There are a lot of opportunities out there, and they all have some merit. People have made some money in all of them. Some, however, are outdated. Others are simply scams. I’ve seen a lot of things in my 19 years in bsuiness, believe me. The wealth creator that has worked for me and my clients and friends over 19 years is Joint Ventures – the ability to create multiples streams of passive income, FAST, with no money and no risk, to spread your income and optimize your time, leverage other peoples’ resources. You can JV part time or full time, but the full timers who really commit find themselves rocketing to success. If you want to join us on Trearure Island, it’s time to cast off from the deck.

We only leave our comfort zone when we exceed our pain threshold. When the pain of change is less than the pain of the status quo, we take action. On the other hand, if the incentive is large enough (everybody has his price) we will be ready to make the changes necessary. We know that if we keep on doing what we’ve been doing, our circumstances won’t really change much. They might deteriorate, of course. How can you manipulate your mind so that you take the action that will help you eagerly leap over the barrier of your comfort zone and achieve massive success?

The way we perceive our circumstances, including our comfort zone and opportunities, is a subjective choice. We choose the interpretation we afford our lives. Change your perception and interpretation, and you can be overcome your addiction to comfort, break through the barrier to unparalleled success and be free. Nobody likes change or risk. But what is the risk of staying where you are? What are the benefits of change? What are the potential rewards? Will you see the glass as half full, or half empty? How can you create a support team that will inspire, encourage, motivate, and assist you through the change?

Let’s use a simple example. A salesman hates his boss and is slipping deeper into debt every month. His production is getting worse. He’s at the bottom of the sales chart in the office. His marriage is starting to suffer and his self-esteem is diminishing daily. He is starting to show loser signs – drinking too much, smoking, buying Lotto tickets, and suffering call reluctance. He knows this, so he keeps very busy with administrative work, his service club, and any activity, which carries no risk or makes him feel better about himself. He is hiding. He gets offered a new job / business opportunity. This one pays commission only and carries no base salary (he gets a base salary in his current job) but has huge potential. He decides to stay in his job: “Better the devil you know than the one you don’t know,” he whines. “I don’t want to fall from the frying pan into the fire,” he whimpers. “I can’t afford to take more risks,” he sobs. So things get progressively worse.

Perhaps he thinks he’s lazy. “Lazy” doesn’t really exist. Lack of motivation and the fear of pain exist. His call reluctance and sleeping in while his Mommy (Wife) goes out to earn more money is really his way to avoid the pain of rejection and facing reality. He won’t be “lazy” if he has to go and collect a four million dollar Lotto winning, will he? I think not. He’ll stay up all night and work like crazy to get to the Lotto office. How about if he got as excited about his new opportunity as he does about winning the Lotto? What if he focused on the potential, the solutions, the fun, or his new job offer? What if he really started believing that it will change his life for the better? How about he starts accepting that within a short while, if he continues on the path he is on, he will lose his wife and kids, job, house and self-respect?

When we start to mentally and emotionally attach enormous pain to our present circumstances and the consequences of not changing direction, and associate massive pleasure to leaping over the barrier of our comfort zone, it gets easier to do the right thing. And if we have a group of enthusiastic, honest, successful, and courageous friends to support this smart move, we’re on the way to unprecedented success and joy. When we focus on what we want, (Dignity, self-respect, abundance, happy family, freedom, success, peace of mind) instead of what we do not want (fear, debt, tension, stress) we can handle the discomfort of change. Especially when we have a strong support system.

The best way I have found to create success, freedom, wealth and joy in my life is Joint Ventures. It has worked for me for 19 years. I created the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum to share this excellent, unlimited opportunity with you and to offer you the support of hundreds of our wonderful Members around the world. The tools and the solutions are right here, for under $200 per year. And the more you learn, the more you will earn. Take the step, get fully involved, and join us on the road to success.
