Your Philosophy Rules Your Business

If you have read “The Ominous Parallels” by Leonard Peikoff, or any of Ayn Rand’s books, (Atlas Shrugged, For the New Intellectual) you will probably agree that one’s philosophy of life and his belief system govern his choices, expectations, and environment. Your religious views, political views and perceptions all govern your reaction to the world and the opportunities around you. The circumstances that you have created are simply a mirror of your philosophy.

Altruism, multiculturalism, mysticism, environmentalism, and socialism all reflect one’s philosophy of collectivism. In addition, collectivism is in direct opposition to capitalism. Look at your business and you will see your philosophy. Is it working for you? Our minds are magnets. The Buddha said, “We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind and trouble will follow you as the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart. Speak or act with a pure mind and happiness will follow you as your shadow, unshakeable. The Bible tells us, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

The way you handle money and do business is not a random thing – it is in lockstep with your philosophy. Capitalism is the only system that can make you successful in business. Any philosophy that contradicts capitalism will undermine and sabotage your business. Ayn Rand put it this way: “Capitalism is the only system that can make freedom, individuality, and the pursuit of values possible in practice. When I say ‘capitalism,’ I mean a pure, uncontrolled, unregulated laissez-faire capitalism – with a separation of economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as a separation of state and church.” The root of your business success or failure is your philosophy. Everything else is fruit.

If you want to improve your business, correct your philosophy.

I’ll end off with another quote by Ms. Rand: “The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours. But to win it requires total dedication and a total break with the world of your past, with the doctrine that man is a sacrificial animal who exists for the pleasure of others. Fight for the value of your person. Fight for the virtue of your pride. Fight for the essence, which is man, for his sovereign rational mind. Fight with the radiant certainty and the absolute rectitude of knowing that yours is the morality of life and yours is the battle for any achievement, any value, any grandeur, any goodness, any joy that has ever existed on this earth.” – John Galt quote that ended Ayn Rand’s last public speech (New Orleans Nov 1981)

“Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil.
That sentence is the leper’s bell of an approaching looter.”

A Great Little Joint Venture Anyone Can Do

Every resource you need is already available through Joint Ventures. You make money by adding value and taking a piece of that value as your payment. Think about this. There are thousands of businesses that don’t have e-commerce websites and even more that do not even have a database of their customers. They see hundreds of new customers and never get their contact information. They’re just “too busy”. This is a great opportunity for you.

The business is already running successfully, at no cost to you. They can make a lot more money with your help – money they would not have had without you, so they should be willing to share some of that extra profit with you. You can either Joint Venture with a webmaster to create an e-commerce website, database and ezine for the business, or you can simply do it yourself and make even more money. You offer the business an e-commerce website with a database and weekly ezine, at no cost or risk to the business owner. You gather the data of all their customers (we can show you how to do that), enter it into the database and then sell those customers a huge range of products and services, from the business and also from other businesses, and you share the profits with the business.

Here’s a simple example. You approach a successful restaurant that has 120 guests a day and no database. You can get a very professional e-commerce website, with database, ezine, everything you need, that you can run yourself, for a mere $799 and $65 per month. That’s your entire cost and risk. You give every guest that enters the restaurant a very compelling reason you give you his or her e-mail address and name. (We can show you how to do this.) You pay someone to enter all the names, continually, into the database, or you do it yourself. You arrange affiliate programs and back end options to sell people visiting the website, and you allow guests to book for the restaurant and pay through the website as well. You can sell gift certificates to the restaurant through the website as well as numerous other products and services.

Using Gift Certificates, Vouchers and Coupons from other businesses, at no cost to you, you can entice guests to visit the website to download these gifts, samples and freebies, and while they are on the site you sell them more stuff. In addition, when they become customers of the businesses offering the Gift Certificates (for example for a free yoga class, consultation, hair cut or class) you get paid a commission on all ongoing purchase from that business!

You own the URL and the website, you share the profit with the restaurant owner, and you both make money. I could go on and on but you get the point. If you would like the contact information of the person providing this very reliable and professional e-commerce, self-run website, contact me. By joining the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, you get instant access to over 400 Members worldwide who understand these principles and would be happy to provide you with Gift Certificates, ideas and more.

Why You Should NEVER Buy a Business, Business Opportunity or Franchise.

If I offered you the opportunity to risk a large amount of your hard-earned money, with an 87% chance that you would LOSE it, what would you do? Well, that’s EXACTLY what you do when you buy a “Business Opportunity”, License or Franchise, no matter what the salesperson tells you.

Now, the reason why 87% of people fail in these “businesses” in the first five years is a statistic. It’s not necessarily that the business opportunity is bad, although in many cases that is the cause; it’s just a statistic. Businesses fail for many reasons – lack of cashflow, lack of skills or experience, lack of support, wrong location, wrong pricing, wrong product – I could list 100 reasons why businesses fail. Here’s the scary part – in the next five years, a further 87% of the remaining 13% will also fail! So you have a TINY chance of success. You might as well go to the local casino.

I sold businesses and business opportunities, franchises and licenses for 18 years, so I should know. I also consulted with thousands of business owners. And before you indignantly cry, “SHAME! How could you?” I must tell you that most people who sell businesses know the statistics and many even tell potential buyers, but we just accepted that “That’s just the way it is.” Until, one day, a potential buyer asked me, “Robin, if this business opportunity is so good, why don’t YOU buy it?” I replied that I prefer to make my money through Joint Ventures. As usual, the buyer, like 99% of small business owners and 99.99% of employees, had no idea what a Joint Venture was. Until I started teaching people how to do what I do. I stopped selling businesses and I started sleeping at night.

No savvy entrepreneur goes out and buys a “Business Opportunity.” And most of those people slithering around in the “Franchise Shows” will tell you ANYTHING to sell you a business and earn their commissions. Not all of them will, but many of them will. I can easily make you a millionaire on paper. People want to believe that the salesperson has the answer to all their financial problems, so they deny their instincts and spend tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars, which they seldom get back. And don’t believe for one minute that franchises are any better. Buying a franchise is simply buying a job and many of them fail. And often, those people who you get to call to ask for references, are PAID to tell you lies.

Instead of shouting and venting about how dangerous it is to buy a “business”, let me rather show you the positive alternative. You can become a fully trained and supported Joint Venture Broker, with unlimited, international earning potential, for under a thousand dollars. No overhead. No risk. No cost. No cashflow problems. No inventory. Nobody to report to. Part-time or full time. Work from home, car, boat, beach, or cottage. All you need is an Internet connection and phone access. In fact, you can even do Joint Ventures without a phone or a computer. Sound too good to be true? I have done it for 19 years.

Can you fail as a Joint Venture Broker? SURE, You can. If you’re lazy, sloppy, arrogant, unprofessional, dishonest, and stupid, you will fail at anything. But if you commit a full working day and if you’re prepared to learn and make mistakes (without the risk of losing money), if you’re open-minded, professional, disciplined and honest, this is the best way I have ever found to make money. But you DO have to work and you will make mistakes. I hate risk. I have never bought a lottery ticket or gambled in my life. I am frugal, careful, and very realistic about human nature. I am a cynic and a skeptic. But I understand business and I know how to remove risk and cost. I don’t do MLM / Network Marketing and I am not interested in schemes and scams. That’s why I love Joint Ventures. No seasonality, no limitations, lots of freedom, no boss, lots of fun and very interesting. And lots of money.

So, put that bankbook away. Keep your savings. Don’t get into more debt. I know the salesman will tell you that you have to spend money to make money. He’s lying. You don’t. Don’t buy a business. Stay away from the sharks and snakes that prey on vulnerable people at the Franchise Shows and have a look at the Joint Venture Broker option. We have put together a complete package to provide you everything you need to succeed at DollarMakers. Learn from our 19 years and instantly get linked up to 445 other Joint Venture Brokers around the world, all for under a thousand dollars. In fact, you can join us for $249.

Joint Ventures are nothing new. 20% of the revenues of the large companies are from Joint Ventures. Now it is time for the average person to take advantage of this amazing money machine. It’s simple, easy to do, and lots of fun. You can broker JV’s regardless of your age, financial situation, skill set or background. You don’t need money or contacts or business understanding. Kids can do JV’s. Prisoners can do JV’s from jail. Seniors can broker deals. ANYONE who has a positive attitude and a good work ethic and is prepared to learn can do this. And so can YOU. You won’t lie awake at night worrying about money anymore. You can achieve financial freedom faster than you think. Isn’t that great news?
