Whenever someone refuses to be specific in any Joint Venture offer, run for the hills. If they use words and phrases like, “More or less”, “about”, “depending on my costs/margins” “I’ll try”, they are avoiding commitment and opening the door to stealing your money. Any JV needs to be in writing with very specific numbers, dates, percentages and definitions if it is to work well for both parties. Play the “What if?” game and be very clear as to who does what, why, when and how.
For example, if someone offers you 20% of the sale, do they mean 20% of the gross profit, the net profit or the retail amount? To whom are they to make the check out? When will they pay you? How will they pay you? What if they don’t pay you? How long will this arrangement be in place for? How will they track the sales? How will you communicate, and how often? If these questions are answered in advance, in writing, you will have less sleepless nights and more money in your bank account.
Let me give you a simple example of a specific offer.
If you buy a banner advert on our 53 websites, it will cost you just US$99 per month, payable in advance, month to month. You can cancel at the end of any month. Here’s what you will get:
DollarMakers.com got over 390,000 page views in December, averaging over 51,000 hits per month (2,655,000 requests for pages in the past year.)
NoMoneyNoRisk.com got 1,660,000 requests for pages this past year with hits around 40,000+ per month. Plus we have 51 Replicator websites, all being promoted.
Bottom line, your $99 banner advert will be displayed a minimum of 496,800 times a month over our websites. Oh, and we have over 8,949 books and e books out there all pointing at our websites, plus a popular Blog that points at our site, our five weekly ezines and numerous other seminars, conference calls, brochures, business cards being promoted by nearly 500 Members worldwide.
Now THAT is specific, and anyone reading that information will probably realize that for $99 per month, it’s a great deal.
Be specific and your results will be terrific.

What will take you to the next level and tip you from mediocre to extraordinary? It doesn’t take much! At 211 degrees, water is hot. At 212 degrees, it boils, and you can boil an egg. Add just ONE DEGREE to 213 degrees, and you get steam that can drive a locomotive or a steamboat! (If you haven’t read the book, The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell, I suggest you do so right now.)
In our personal lives, we need to find that one degree of change, that extra ounce of effort, that tiny addition that creates our personal Tipping Point. I believe that is to be found in your drive, motivation, and attitude. For example, I had an idea in the middle of the night (Christmas Eve) to create Joint Venture Comics. I got out of bed and onto ELance.com and immediately registered and posted a project to look for a comic illustrator. Christmas Day I searched the Internet for a way to create my own comic strips and found a site to do so. I immediately went about creating not one, but eight comic strips, at no cost. I posted a link on my Blog as well. Click here to see them.
Now, I could have decided to “do something about this or investigate my options in the new year” or “when I had time”. Instead, I took immediate, massive, passionate action. For example, at the end of this article, are you the type that will leap into your car or get onto Amazon.com and buy the book I recommended in the first paragraph? Or will you add it to some list or decide to “think about it”? A salesman who calls ten people might make some money. Why not call a hundred people? Go the extra mile. Push harder. Make one more call. Highly motivated people will do whatever it takes, they will not quit, they don’t make excuses, and they work harder. They are available on high days and holidays. They work until they get what they want. They take full, personal responsibility.
I know people who claim they work hard, but they only do what they’re comfortable doing. Doing what you like is not work; doing what you don’t feel like doing is work. Turn off the TV set, get up earlier, get out of your comfort zone, don’t procrastinate. That’s how to find your Tipping Point. Whatever it takes, 24/7, 7 days a week, no compromise, will push you over the edge to massive success. Get your ego out of the way and push through the pain. Focus on your goals and make it happen. THAT is what will get you to your Treasure Island.
When YOU change, your circumstances will change, too. It has nothing to do with your environment, circumstances or other people, and EVERYTHING to do with your attitude.

Last week, one of the Members of our DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, Nathan Gilder, called me from his office in Florida, to tell me that he had just made $1,000 in a Joint Venture with a Member in the UK, Michael Silk.
Another Member in Toronto is pleased to announce that she is making 18% on her investment with a Member in Vancouver.
Too many organizations offer Memberships with big promises but no results. Our Members have access to hundreds of JV partners around the world, and those who use our services make money.
Here are the results that Tas got when we only had half the number of Members that we have now, in his own words:
I’ve had a very good experience as a member of the JV Forum. When a business partner suggested I attend a meeting in New Westminster last year I did so without much expectation. I was pleasantly surprised. First and foremost from the 40-50 members that I’ve met I have made a half-dozen good friends. That’s very important to me. Thirty years in business have taught me to only do business with people that I like.
Within this circle I have given liberally of my time where I could help and have enjoyed great reward. Since handing over my $200 membership last year to Robin I have seen $470,000 in cash coming to my company, $100,000 in new business flowing to another member company and an additional $85,000 in contracts issued by my company to members.
Joint venturing works. I’ve found that being interested in people rather then trying to be interesting myself opens doors to business and opportunity that otherwise wouldn’t be there. I’ve had fun with Robin Elliott and made money – lot’s of it. He has demonstrated time and time again the ability to make something out of nothing – and that is the definition of Create! (March 15th 2006)

Eighty-seven percent of new businesses fail within the first five years. In the next five years, a further 87% of the remaining 13% will also fail. Not surprisingly, this shocking statistic prevents many deserving people from acquiring financial independence through the wonder of entrepreneurship. Yet people still flock to the Franchise Shows and business brokers, they still risk their all, they still insist on doing what so many others do.
Added to that, many small and medium sized businesses never really make money; they survive just below and above the line, increasing their overhead along with their sales, and most entrepreneurs are simply self-employed salespeople: When they stop selling, they stop earning.
Most small and medium sized businesses suffer from the following: cash flow problems, selling time, competition, price cutting, low sales, high overhead, increasing cost of advertising, geographic restrictions, occurrences outside of their control, seasonality and changing technology/demographics and trends. Hiring employees is more risky than ever before. How can we escape this treadmill? How can we guarantee success?
By observing your business from an objective, rational perspective, you will probably agree that it makes sense to favor income that yields a 100% profit, which is not possible in a conventional business, but is possible through a Joint Venture.
It also makes sense not to sell your time, unless that results in passive, ongoing income streams. Leverage other peoples’ time. And to avoid seasonality, it is logical to create multiple streams of passive income from diverse geographical areas and from a variety of different products and services, wouldn’t you agree? How about reducing and removing your cost of sales and overhead? And when it comes to advertising, why not pay for results instead of promises? Consider firing all your employees and putting them all on a commission basis.
The five keys to success in business are the following:
1. Remove and reduce cost of sales, risk, and overhead.
2. Leverage other peoples’ resources to access massive markets and databases.
3. Stop selling and start solving problems.
4. Stop selling your time.
5. Remove all barriers to income and insist on 100% profit.
The above can be accomplished through brokering Joint Ventures. If you already have a business, you can gradually segue into the JV process, leveraging your existing resources and the resources of others and adding additional income streams, until you can make the final break from all income limitations, restrictions, and risk. 100% margin with no overhead or risk and unlimited potential may seem like pie in the sky to most hardened business owners, but to Joint Venture Brokers it’s as normal as a pancake at IHOP.
Joint Venture Brokers make their money by solving problems and linking supply with demand, triangulating deals and becoming, essentially, the tollgate on multiple ongoing business transactions. They create passive income streams and think like physicians instead of sales reps, solving problems and creating value. Their mindset is reciprocal and inclusive. They are strategic and proactive in all their business dealings, as opposed to reactive and tactical. No cost, no risk, no downside, no limitations, no barriers and no sleepless nights – that’s what a Joint Venture Broker creates – real money, real fast, in the real world.

Joint Venture Brokers make money by connecting supply and demand. In this busy age of e-mails and spam, we sometimes forget that the phone is a far more powerful communication tool than ever before. Writing a letter or sending a real card by snail mail is also excellent, but the phone is instant. Even leaving a voice mail message, you can really build value, relationship, and trust.
Before going further, let’s quickly handle the deal killers when it comes to phone use:
1. Do NOT put people on hold. That is bad manner and it will certainly offend a lot of successful people. Put me on hold and I will put the phone down.
2. No eating, drinking, smoking, yawning, typing other distractions. There’s nothing more disgusting than the sound of someone eating, or worse still, smoking, on the other side of a phone line. And no background noise if you can help it.
3. If you answer the phone, be prepared to speak. Don’t answer and immediately tell someone you are in a meeting and will call him or her back. Why did you answer your phone in a meeting to start off with? Have you really no respect for the person with whom you’re meeting?
OK, now let’s talk about what works on the phone. Always listen more than you speak, get to the point and don’t waffle. People don’t want to hear about your daughter’s orthodontic appointment or the dog’s fleas – they are not interested. Talk business. Time is valuable. And be specific about numbers, commitments, dates, and times. Make sure you write things down and do what you promise. Trust is built by doing honoring your word. Nobody believes your excuses.
By being genuinely interested in linking people up with solutions and solving their problems, one phone call can make you a large amount of money. All you do is connect people. You don’t have to deliver the goods and services. You simply broker the deal. You can spend five minutes putting a deal together that takes other weeks to implement, and all the commission you earn is 100% profit to you as a Broker. And you never know whom the person on the other side of that phone line is connected to, or what he or she might be worth to you in business over the years. Treat every caller with great respect and deference and you will be mining gold.
Watch your tone of voice, stay positive, upbeat and enthusiastic, use the other person’s name frequently, listen carefully, ask lots of questions and return all your calls promptly, and you will project a professional, caring and trustworthy image. Years ago, I was training insurance salespeople. I got each one of them to work out their sales ratios and the average phone call was worth ten dollars. They each stuck a ten-dollar bill to the telephones to remind them that every time they picked up the phone, they earned ten dollars. Suddenly, they looked forward to making and receiving phone calls, and along with that change in attitude came increased sales.
Now go give your phone a big, sloppy KISS.

Working Moms get home to start on their second, full-time job. While the husband (if there is one) collapses into his chair in front of the TV to relax with a beer after a hard day’s work, Mom gets home to start catching up with the kids, washing, ironing, cooking, homework, clothes, stories, feeding… Women can do this – they multitask better and can handle more pain that men. They are also better communicators, more intuitive and less egocentric than men are. (This article is written by a man.) Also, women generally earn less than men in the workplace do. Worry about the kids all day, miss their special events, get home and work even harder, feel guilty, sleep too little, and start all over again.
Then there are the women who work from home, usually earning less than they would in a regular job, or they work so hard from home that they might as well not even be there. Many of them have been caught and lost money in false promises, schemes and dreams that promise wealth and leisure, while in fact they have simply become self-employed salespeople for a makeup or vitamin company. What is the solution? Some feel the only way out is to “Marry a rich man”, but those with brains know that’s not the answer, either.
How can women work from home and earn the money they need to create financial well-being, with relatively little time, no risk, and all the benefits of owning a real, lucrative business? I’m not talking about buying a business – that’s risky and expensive, and 87% of new business start-ups will fail. And I’m not talking about selling – most of us are not salespeople. I’m talking about turning Mom into a Joint Venture Broker for under $400. That’s right. Mom’s multitasking ability, her intuitiveness, her ability to communicate, and her motivation to stay home and raise her kids (instead of sending them to some weirdo daycare or, worse still, the public school system), amply qualify her to be a very successful JV Broker.
How do I know that? I have been a Joint Venture Broker for nineteen years and I have taught many others to become JV brokers. All you need is the training, support, and motivation. You already have the motivation, and we can provide all the training and support you need.
Anyone, regardless of his or her background, age, experience, education, or circumstances, can use JV’s to create financial freedom, with no cost or risk. It takes some time initially, to practice and learn, but once you understand the process, it takes very little time. You can earn thousands with one simple phone call. No selling – you get paid for helping people and giving stuff away. Joint Venture Brokers earn money from multiple sources of passive income. They have no geographical restrictions and don’t need products, services, or even a business to make money. They can work from home with a phone, and do even more if they have Internet access. No meetings, no inventory, no commuting, no dressing up, no boss.
This is not Network Marketing. And it’s not new – the large companies are using JV’s all the time. How much does it cost to get trained? $397. Change your life an become a professional JV Broker for just $397. For more information, see www.MomComesHome.com - for your children’s sakes.

Do you approach a potential JV partner hesitantly, tentatively, and sparingly, or are you enthusiastic, confident, and excited about your proposal? Are you timid, concerned, and fearful, or are you convinced, expectant and committed? Are you open, unattached, relaxed, and secure, or are you desperate, begging, and needy? Do you go into the negotiation with fear and trembling, or faith and gusto?
The way you feel about your Joint Venture proposal is based largely on your understanding of Joint Ventures, your training, support, planning, and preparation. Your level of confidence and self-esteem will be created before you step in to that meeting. And your level of belief and conviction will determine how well the negotiation goes. You can’t expect others to believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself. You can’t expect buy-in if you haven’t bought in yourself. Your certainty and assurance has to be based on a firm foundation of insight, preparation, and training.
Members of the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, who have attended the JV Broker Bootcamps, read the material and used the training tools we make available, are a lot more successful than those who wing it, fake it and TRY. T.R.Y. = To Relive Yesterday’s Failures. When you have educated yourself and established a support group, you are backed up by people who will walk you through the process. I have met losers who tell me, “I will try and see if JV’s work for me before I spend any money on the training”. IDIOT. That’s like someone who tries a few operations before becoming a surgeon. If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. The more you learn, the more you will earn. Practice makes perfect. Start anew every day. I took the photo on the right from my balcony this morning, of a snow-covered Mount Baker in Washington State. New beginnings!
People are naturally attracted to enthusiastic, confident, self-assured winners. It’s easy to set up lucrative Joint Ventures when you have a great attitude and you can back your claims and plans up with real information and understanding. We never stop learning, and the more we educate ourselves and practice, the better we get. Take the time to educate yourself, ask for advice when you get stuck, get involved with other successful JV Brokers and the sky is the limit.

Will you hit the ground running, focused, strong and excited in 2007, or fat, flabby, stressed out and desperate?
When I hit the army camp at the age of seventeen, I was a child returning from a trip to snowy Europe to a 95-degree African sun. I was six days late for basic training (by permission) and given a steel trunk, which was loaded to the brim with uniform, toiletries, eating utensils, pack, a rifle, helmet and more, and was told that I would run and continue to run, even while getting kitted out, or face dire consequences. I believed them, so I ran. I passed squadrons of other new recruits, all running, drilling and occasionally vomiting or collapsing from the rigors or basic training. Three long months later, I emerged tough, fit, trained, ready to kill and ready to fight. I was a man. I had loved every minute of my tough basic training. Most of all, I was supremely confident.
Most people gain weight, lose motivation, and basically vegetate over the Christmas period, and then they struggle to resurrect their business, body, and attitude in the New Year. They will overspend and overeat and lurch drunkenly into the traffic of 2007. No wonder most fail dismally when it comes to their vague, compromised New Years Resolutions. A warrior prepares his or her mind and body for battle and victory. You can use the period of time between today and January 3 to get lean and mean, to lose weight, strengthen your attitude and resolve, forge new relationships with winners and plan for success. Prepare, practice, perfect, and position yourself for success in 2007. Align yourself with eagles and rid yourself of the turkeys (except for the ones you eat!) Hit the ground running on pure jet fuel in January.
When the turkeys waddle westward, the eagles fly east. While the plebes pig out on cookies and candy, the Eagles work out. While the turkeys have passed out from too much liquor, the Eagles are preparing their battle plans. Did you know you could get business appointments over the Christmas period with winners? Try it. You will be surprised. When you love your work, when you’re on a mission with a commission, work is no longer work. I encourage you to take a good, hard look at your life and decide if you want to make 2007 the best year of your life so far, or not. Join the champions and make it happen. Remember what Yoda taught us: “”Do or do not - there is no try”

USS Elliot (DD 967), commissioned on January 22, 1977, is the fifth ship of the 31-ship class of SPRUANCE destroyers. She is named in honor of Lt. Cmdr. Arthur J. Elliot, II, who, while in command of River Squadron FIFTY-SEVEN, was killed on December 29, 1968 during an engagement with enemy forces in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Elliot is the first ship of the class to bear the name of a Vietnam War hero. The ship’s motto, “Courage, Honor, Integrity”, is representative of those values, which characterized Lieutenant Commander Elliot throughout his career. More here.
The purpose of a warship is abundantly clear; it is what it is. It is not a barbershop, an orphanage, or a church. It is a warship. This is not true of all investments or business opportunities.
When I walk into an accountant’s office and I see a wall full of certificates, thanking the firm for their contributions to baseball clubs, churches and homeless shelters, a red flag goes up. When someone touting for investors for his questionable business talks about his church and carries a bible around, I get uncomfortable. When I hear that “we buy only fair trade coffee beans” or “five dollars from every purchase goes to unwed mothers”, I run for the proverbial hills. Why? This is called “Trust by Association” or “Strategic Philanthropy” – the sign often used by confidence tricksters. That doesn’t mean that the business blatantly broadcasting it’s good deeds is dishonest, it just brings their integrity into question.
When desperate people want confirmation that the slick sales representative in front of them is honest, they grab for evidence, which he provides in the form of proof of altruism. He can’t be a bad man if he gives money to Aids sufferers, now can he? A priest would never take advantage of a little boy! They look for anything that will allay their instinctive fear, and the conman is astute enough to be well prepared. The man who tells people that he can start a church is rural India and “save many souls” for a mere US$1,000, the “Consultant” who is building multiple orphanages in Russia, the “Investment Specialist” who is investing your hard-earned money in “projects” in Mainland China to “help people earn a decent wage”, the character who will invest your money offshore and make you 20% per month… There is usually a charitable component to persuade the naïve and gullible that they’re talking to a reincarnation on Mother Theresa. And usually, it’s very hard to check up on the “facts” and promises, unless you’re about to fly off to China or Africa where they say your money is going. I want to physically see your home, your office, your business and your books before I invest a blue cent with you. If I want to help the homeless, I’ll go find one and personally hand him the money, thank you.
Like the online geniuses who will never provide you a mailing address or a phone that gets answered, and are always endorsed by others like themselves – one wolf endorsing another to the sheep – be careful of posturing thieves. When someone tells you that she has 9,000 people in her database, how do you know that is true? Can you check? Do they actually pay to be in that database, or did she collect their e-mail addresses by offering them a free report on the virtues of pole dancing? Buyer beware. A healthy does of skepticism is a good thing, and if you are aware of this trick to score brownie points through “Trust by Association” or “Strategic Philanthropy”, you might well save the family jewels. Here’s the truth: People sell you things to earn a commission, not to help the homeless. They don’t care about the homeless. If someone truly wants to help people, they don’t have to tell the world how kind and caring they are. True philanthropists are usually anonymous, or they give without attaching conditions of sale. Get real and you’ll get rich. Businesses that advertise their altruism, broadcast their beneficence, and hard sell their handouts, are suspect in my book. What do Aids sufferers in Africa have to do with my buying a seminar? NOTHING, unless it persuades me that you’re a good guy…
I’ll end off with this quote by Ayn Rand: “It stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there’s someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice, speaks of slaves and masters. And intends to be the master.”

Robin J. Elliott was invited to speak to a group of business owners and entreprenuers by The Mastermind Clubs in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. On November 20th, 2006 Mr. Elliott arrived to a modest group of men and woman, unsure what they were going to hear. Robin went into more detail than he ever has at an intro talk, and he decided he wanted to share this one with as much people as possible.
This is the full presentation, unedited, as it happened that evening. This is over one and a half hours long.

We’ve heard the old saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.” It amazes me that people do this all the time. They burn the wrong bridges, too. We’ve all done it when we were young and immature, and when we believed we were invincible and that we would live forever and didn’t need anybody. But as we get older, we realize the futility of the quick buck, overreaction and clogging the old drain with a baby.
Recently, a Joint Venture Partner who was paying me thousands of dollars a month in commissions, showed his true colors by getting greedy and cutting side deals with others, in spite of the fact that he had agreed not to do this. He also welched on a commission payment. I walked away from him and left him to his wily ways, and he lost all future business from me. Since then, I estimate he has lost around $90,000 in business that he would have received from my referrals. Greed and pride are the enemies of successful business relationships. Self-discipline, honesty, and generosity build strong relationships and bridges that can carry a lot of money traffic through the years.
Impatience, arrogance and desperation often cause people to fling the infant out with the bathwater. When you see people overreacting and getting overly aggressive about unimportant things, realize that they’re probably in financial difficulty. That’s why it’s important not to rely on sensible, levelheaded responses and choices from emotional, cash-strapped people. Avoid them when considering potential JV partners. They’re more likely than others to lose perspective and justify unethical behavior. Situational Ethics reign in their world.
Successful Joint Venture Brokers understand the big picture; they don’t compromise when it comes to integrity, but they remain human, forgiving, and flexible. They learn to roll with the punches and they’re very selective whom they work with. They seek relationship, trust, and loyalty before the fast buck and instant gratification. The most successful JV Brokers I know don’t forget who hurt them and they don’t forget who helped them. They don’t tolerate dishonesty and they blow up bridges between themselves and losers, while building and maintaining bridges to good people. They nurture good relationships like a baby. They don’t end a million dollar business relationship for $1000. They maintain perspective and build strong foundations for the future.

At the DollarMakers Joint Venture Broker Bootcamp in Toronto on Saturday, I acquired a new MP4 Player, preloaded with some amazing audio books, from JV Forum Member Mike Cecotka. This little gadget is quite amazing – it’s a voice recorder, a radio and an MP3 player – music, videos… I wouldn’t be surprised if I could train the thing to wash the dishes! It’s a tiny miracle and I couldn’t wait to get my music onto it. I am, however, a self-confessed Luddite, a non-techie, a technological idiot. I have a big old black, paper diary that I call “Barry” – my own Blackberry. I am somewhat behind when it comes to computer things, so I rely on techno wizards and geniuses like Winston Bromley, our Technical Director, and Shawn Christenson, Techie Extraordinaire.
It took me years to get a DVD player, and even longer to learn how to download music from the Internet. Now I have a nice little collection of my favorite songs, and imagine if I could get these and my Ayn Rand audio books onto this little thingamabob! Especially since I spend many hours every month on the world’s friendliest airline, WestJet. What an exciting prospect! The only challenge I had was that I had no idea how to actually use this widget. NO idea. But my level of motivation was fifteen on a scale of one to ten. Every little victory in my progress has been really exciting. When I actually heard my favorite radio station, Rock 101 on it, I nearly flipped. Then I managed to download my tunes, and freaked out when I saw that I had captured Jethro Tull, Francoise Hardy, Bob Dylan, Santana, Otis Redding, Elvis and others on this miniature jukebox!
The Strength of the Sword is in the heart of the warrior who wields the weapon. Nothing and nobody was going to stop me from discovering how to use my new toy. Not jetlag, frustration, time restraints, mistakes, or temporary failure. That’s the simple difference between winning and losing – persistence, and the insistence on victory. If your motivation is high and your belief in yourself is high, you are unstoppable. When your passion is perfect and your belief is bulletproof, your ultimate success is guaranteed. When you decide to win, whatever it takes, regardless of obstacles or the opinions of others, you will reach whatever destination you choose. This is a simple illustration of a balding, middle-aged man fiddling with a simple IPod thingy, but the principles of success remain the same. The tools you buy are only as valuable as their application. If you leave them under your bed, you won’t wake up in the morning to find they have built you a new kitchen cabinet.
I encourage you to dust off the books, the tools, the gadgets and the skills you spent so much money on. Most of all, dust off your dreams and take your goals back down off the shelf. 2007 is going to be the best year of your life so far, if you decide to make it so. And if you’re really smart, you can surround yourself with people who can share their skills with you so that you don’t waste time or miss out on the wonderful opportunities that surround us all. I know that I can pick up the phone and call Mike any time and he will gladly show me how to make my MP4 player work. Right now, I’m just loving listening to Santana, the Eagles, Jimmy Hendrix, and Tony Bennett.

Do you believe the following lies?
Money doesn’t grow on trees.
You have to spend money to make money.
The higher the risk, the higher the reward.
It takes a long time to make money.
You have to put in long hours to make money.
You’re sure to succeed if you buy a franchise.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
OK. Let’s examine the above and then I’ll tell you why it’s good to get lazy and cheap when you work.
Money doesn’t grow on trees.
That is indicative of scarcity thinking, like people who fear their competition. Like there’s not enough to go around – a shrinking pie. People who believe that have never discovered a money tree. What’s that? Read on, Ginger.
You have to spend money to make money.
Every resource you need, including money, credit, reputation and skills, is already available to you through someone else. Why buy it if you can borrow it? We are surrounded by underutilized resources and hidden assets. Don’t spend your money.
The higher the risk, the higher the reward.
I say, “The higher the risk you take, the lower your IQ!” Ask any gambler. If all the resources are already available o you, you can do business with no money and no risk. Conventional new business start-ups have an 87% of failure. Vegas is starting to look good…
It takes a long time to make money.
In the Industrial Age, that was true. Not now. Not in the Information Age. You can do a deal in one hour that makes you $40,000. Joint Venture Brokers do it all the time.
You have to put in long hours to make money.
Same as above. (See? I save time.)
You’re sure to succeed if you buy a franchise.
Yeah, right! That’s what some sales people tell you with their skewed statistics and paid testimonials. Not true.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Someone who earns $5,000 per month and doesn’t understand business and leverage will find it hard to believe that you can make thousands of dollars with very little time, no money and no risk. To him, it sounds too good to be true. Nevertheless, it IS true.
Right. Now you want to hear about cheap, lazy and money trees.
As a Joint Venture Broker, you should decide to expend the minimum amount of effort and time on any deal. You should resolve not to spend your own money. You should choose to do every deal with no money, no risk and the minimum amount of time. And you can, if you know how. By leveraging the resources of others, you gain leverage on those who control the assets / resources. By removing the risk, you sleep like a baby pig at night, with no worries; if things don’t work out as expected, everyone remains friends, you don’t lose the family farm, and you simply move on to the next exciting opportunity.
You’re not really cheap, you’re simply not spending money in order to get commitment and buy-in from your JV partners. “Lazy” means you’re not a common laborer but a person with an actual brain. Use you head, not your hands. Work smart, not hard. Joint Venture Brokers simply link supply with demand and reap the ongoing rewards – they take a piece of the ongoing profit generated. They are paid for results instead of empty promises. Brokers don’t go broke. (You like that one?)
Let me give you a simple, real-life example of a Joint Venture created only yesterday by a very smart young man by the name of Michal Jaster, a respected Member of the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, who has attended our Bootcamp and understand how JV’s work. Michal approached a marketing company to market my keynote speeches and in-house Joint Venture Bootcamps. He set up a conference call between me and the marketing company. If the deal works out, Michael will earn $2,500 every time I speak as a result of the efforts of this marketing company, without spending a dime and without any more time invested, outside of the two hours he invested to set the deal up. No money, no risk, total two hours invested. And if it doesn’t work out, it only cost him two hours and he learned how to do it better next time, plus he made new friends / contacts. If it does work out, he will earn ongoing passive income at 100% profit.
That Money Tree? That represents the back end income and additional options that become clear and available to someone with the JV mindset. In addition to the $2,500 that Michal will earn every time I waddle around on a stage somewhere in the world, he will also earn commissions from five additional income streams that we will easily build into the process. Ka-Ching!!!
And then people ask me why I love being a JV Broker. For more information on how you can become a JV Broker, regardless of your age, background or circumstances, visit www.DollarMakers.com

My friend, Isaac, sent me a video clip of a man and a woman standing on an upward moving escalator in a shopping center. Suddenly, the escalator stops moving. The man and woman are shocked and awed. They start calling out for help, as they stand of the stationary escalator, half-way up. Then the woman borrows the man’s cell phone to call 911 for help. They are disgusted and indignant that nobody rushes to assist them. They stay exactly where they are, calling out for help, instead of simply walking up the escalator to the next floor.
I recently talked with someone who had bought into a business opportunity. This person paid her money and is impatiently waiting for someone to magically step in and do the work for her. Welcome to socialism, entitlement, laziness, apathy, and plain ignorance. The shocking revelation is that you have to WORK. Just because you paid for the privilege to get into a business doesn’t entitle you to an income for the rest of your life, Virginia. That’s called communism. That’s the world of bureaucrats, politicians and collectivists. In a capitalist system, you get paid for the value you create. Nobody is going to do it for you. Sorry, old thing. You paid for training and support. Now you actually have to work.
The same goes for people who join any organization. You pay to become a Member and access the Member benefits. You are not buying a group of able-bodied and willing slaves to work for you for the rest of your life while you crack another beer in front of the television set. Is it true that when I buy an electric drill from Sears, I can take it home and leave the drill in my workshop to drill all the holes by itself while I take a nap? I think not. A business opportunity is a tool. Membership in any organization is a tool, an opportunity, access. What you do with the tools and opportunities will determine how much money you make. There are no escalators to success – the ladder to success has to be climbed - a shocking revelation to people who are used to being carried by others all their lives.
Here’s how you will know if you’re dealing with a leader or a passenger, a winner or a loser, a creator or a leech: When people ask you how much other people in your organization or club are making, you know you’re talking to a loser. In every group, there are people who use the tools, follow the rules and make the money, while others will whine and grumble and find excuses to stumble. When a winner joins any group or gets involved in any organization, she will proactively create success, using the tools at hand. She will be circulating and percolating, making the contacts and writing the contracts, moving and grooving. She will perceive every glass as half full and focus on the positives, while rising to the top like the proverbial cream. She will emerge radiantly, like a lotus flower, from the muddy rat race of plebes. When the escalator stops, she will bound enthusiastically up the stairs and reach the top floor while the majority (yes, the 90%) are still shocked and awed and blaming the elevator company for their lack of progress and slothfulness.
There is very little competition at the top of the ladder; it’s not crowded. The cream is 10%, the milk 90%. By choice. It’s all about having a great, proactive, responsible attitude and creating the future you want. YOU have created the circumstances you are currently experiencing. I can blame that drill all I like for the lack of holes. I can curse the escalator company, the weather and George Bush, but at the end of the day, “If it’s to be, it’s up to ME.”

Someone who has earned $5,000 per month for the past eight years might find it hard to believe that he could earn $20,000 per month. Anyone’s perspective in terms of abundance or scarcity is usually an entrenched belief system that requires new evidence to shift. And until that shift is made and one believes that abundance is a real possibility, nothing will happen. A person won’t go out with a wheelbarrow to collect acorns if he believes there are only three acorns under the trees. And once he has picked up those three acorns, he will walk away from the hundred thousand other acorns lying there, because he doesn’t even notice them.
Last week, I bought a new pair of spectacles. I can’t believe how much my sight has deteriorated over the past few years. I have been missing out on so much! I now see a lot of detail and things that I was previously completely unaware of. I decided to offer you a pair of Abundance Spectacles in this article.
As a Joint Venture Broker, I get paid for creating value, by linking supply with demand. The more value I create, the more I get paid. If I can help ten people to get what they want, I will be paid commissions on the resulting transactions. If I can help a hundred thousand people to get what they want, I will earn a lot more money. There is no limit, except in my own head, especially since brokering a deal involves no cost or risk to me and it takes very little time. Tens of thousands of cars cross the Port Mann Bridge in Vancouver every day. If I had just one dollar from each of those cars, every day, I would make tens of thousands of dollars every day. That’s how toll booths work. When I connect people with a supply of products or services, I get paid on all resulting transactions. How many people can I connect?
There are 30 million people in Canada, 30 million people in California, 60 million people in the UK, 300 million in the US. They all have needs and wants and you can make money by simply connecting them with solutions. Millions of people in Canada have access to lines of credit. I can show you a way to legitimately earn 6% per year on their lines of credit. That means that you could earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per month from other people’s bank’s money. Honestly. And help them to do the same in the process. 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.” That means you just have to link enough people up with the solutions to their problems and the means to reaching their goals. By using and leveraging other people’s resources, access, money, products and services, you remove the limitations to earning. The secret to abundance is the removal of barriers, both mental and physical, and then linking supply and demand. Build a bridge between the vendor and the customer and you become the toll booth. No cost, no risk, very little time.
All you have to do is gain access to those people. How can you reach thousands of people without risky, costly advertising? Through other people. If you know or find someone who has access to, control of, the trust of and relationship with thousands of other people, that person can afford you access to that database. There are millions of those people.
That’s how I do business – through other peoples’ connections, resources and access. You don’t need resources – use other peoples’ resources in a win/win, Joint Venture process. If you can find just twenty “Centers of Influence” – that is people who have large databases – and give them a good reason to promote your offer to their people, you can reach thousands of people. By paying generous commissions and sharing the wealth, you can reach millions of people. By solving their problems, you can make millions of dollars. How long does it take? That depends on how fast and passionately you can work. We live in the Information Age. The Internet is real. Communication is faster, easier and cheaper than ever before. The world is at your feet.
Your background, education, age and circumstances are no barrier to your earning capacity. The only barrier is mental. By changing the way we look at the world from a scarcity perspective to an abundance perspective, we change our beliefs and expectations and therefore our choices and actions. And then we start to reap accordingly. It’s a simple process.
Do you “Think Big”? How big is your big? If you expect to earn $5,000, you won’t earn any more than that. If you wonder how to earn $50,000, you’ll open up new vistas of opportunity within your own brain’s Reticular Activating System. If I want to build a bridge to carry cars, I won’t build a flimsy structure that can only carry the weight of a few pedestrians. When you set high goals, you attract people with higher expectations and greater ambition. You set your own standards. You decide what you want and then you decide to create that reality. It’s just as easy to earn $20,000 per month as it is to earn $5,000 per month. It’s just a shift in perspective. Through the use of back-end income in Joint Ventures, the sky’s the limit. You can create multiple sources of increasing, passive income that exceed your wildest dreams. There are billions of dollars out there. Billions of people around the world. Billions of transactions and opportunities.
Where do you start? First, remove the judge’s robes and decide how much you want and how badly you want it. Then, decide what you’re prepared to do in order to get it. If you want it so badly that you’re prepared to work 24/7, walk naked and barefoot over broken glass with your hair on fire and change your thinking, doing whatever it takes, you’re on track. The WHY is much more important than the HOW. If your WHY is big enough, the HOW is relatively unimportant. You must know why you want what you say you want. On a scale of one to ten, one being “I don’t care” and ten being “Whatever it takes”, I’m looking for people on a level twelve: serious, motivated, committed, focused and hungry.
Third, get the training you need. Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Learn from experts. And make sure they really are experts before you learn from them. If you want to get onto the fast track to abundance, get trained. More information at www.DollarMakers.com
Fourth and finally, take massive, consistent, persistent, focused action. And don’t even think of quitting until you reach your goal. The world is your oyster. It’s waiting for you.

If you’re a working Mom, would you like to be home with your kids? Not all Moms do, I know that. But would you prefer being at home, watching your kids grow up, helping them, guiding them, enjoying, sharing, loving, supporting, teaching and raising them, to being at work? Would you like to work from home, spending a little flexi-time, and earn much more than you do in your job? Kids grow up so fast and time lost with them is lost forever. Do you really want strangers raising your kids? Or, worse still, nobody looking after them? How badly do you want to work from home, making serious money?
If you’re a Stay-at-Home-Mom, would you like to earn real money from home, without spending too much time doing so? Would you like to be able to afford all the things you want for the kids and yourself?
Perhaps you’ve been convinced that you have to have a job, or that you can’t earn more than you currently earn. Maybe you think this is another work-at-home-in-your-PJ’s-from the-kitchen-table-and-earn a million scam. It’s not. We are about to launch the DollarMakers Mom Comes Home Campaign, teaching Mom’s how to earn real money from home with little time and no cost or risk except the initial training - $397 for your freedom. We offer proven systems that are easy to understand and available to all, regardless of your background, circumstances, education, experience, or age. Whether you’re the CEO of a company or a waitress or a cleaner or a secretary, a salesperson or a pole dancer, this is for anyone who wants to come home to her kids.
Our lauch is scheduled for December 7, 2007. Watch www.MomComesHome.com

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark. In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach. The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.”

William Shakespeare put it this way: “There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyages of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea we are now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.”
December 1, Rika and I were sitting outside in the hot tub at our hotel in Whistler BC, talking. The air was crisp with the lightest snowfall. It was our ninth anniversary in Canada and we were celebrating, setting new goals and expressing our gratitude for our wonderful lives. We had followed our Yellow Brick Road. It started 19 years ago, and nine years ago the road led to Canada. And, as usual, the conversation turned to a good friend who stayed behind in South Africa, all those years ago. He rejected the Yellow Brick Road and now it’s too late for him to immigrate. While our lives just get better all the time, he sees the disintegration of his world as it degenerates into more chaos and violence every day.
Why do people bite the hand of the guide who wants to lead them to a better life? What makes them reject riches in favor of mediocrity and frustration? What causes them to turn away from the Highway to Happiness and slink off down the Lane to a Lackluster Life? Is there a reason why people choose failure and disappointment? Why throw the gift of hope and success back in the face of the giver? I think I know the possible answer.
When someone has been lied to about how things work his whole life and someone comes along with an offer of real success, it’s hard to break through all that negative conditioning. “It’s too good to be true! What’s the catch? What if I fail?” That was true for me, too. When I was offered a way out of living from paycheck to paycheck nineteen years ago, my mentor insisted that I listen to a set of six goal setting and personal development tapes SIX TIMES over. I had to repeatedly listen to those wonderful audio cassettes by Paul J. Meyer. We listened and we listened and then we listened some more. And then we got more tapes and we listened to them. And slowly, we started to change our thinking. We slowly chiseled away at our destructive programming until we could see clearly. To this day, we still have to work on our conditioning because we live in a world where people are encouraged to stick with the status quo. Self development is a lifelong quest.
If you think you haven’t been exposed to lies about money, wealth, value, business and success, I challenge you to check your response to the next business opportunity you see. Do you think of reasons why it will work out, or do you instantly start making excuses and find a reason to turn it down? Think about all those who have a vested interest in keeping you stupid when it comes to money. Yes, I said STUPID. The bank wants you to pay them 18% on your own money. I make 18% on the BANK’S money. Think about that. I can show you how to do that in five minutes. The colleges and universities tell you to get into debt in order to be educated so that you can get a job and stay in debt. Why? So that those academics can keep their jobs and stay poor, too. Employers want you to stay stupid and keep making them rich while you live paycheck to paycheck. And poor people give you advice on how to stay poor.
If we were going to live forever, I wouldn’t be too concerned. But time is running out for you like the sand in an egg timer. You’re going to get old and frail and perhaps sickly. Do you want to be poor, as well? There are 80 million Baby Boomers, 70 million of whom can’t afford to retire. In your old age, don’t you want dignity, freedom and quality of life? You will need money for that. If your wife needs a hip replacement, you’re going to need money. If you get sick and can’t work, where will the money come from? If the neighborhood deteriorates, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to move away to a better neighborhood? How about your kids right now? Do you want them to grow up with all the money they need or with the poor self-image that results from growing up in a family where there’s never enough money? Would you prefer to spend your time with your kids or serving demanding strangers in a restaurant?
No, I’m not politically correct. I don’t have to be. Only pawns and robots have to be politically correct and live in fear of upsetting their minders and benefactors. Money can buy you the freedom to tell it like it is. There is still time for you to follow the Yellow Brick Road. You can attain financial independence much faster than you think. You can break free from financial fetters, fear of being fired, debt and mediocrity, irrespective of your circumstances, background, age, or education. But only if you’re as motivated as I was 19 years ago and every day after that. Want to know how? Visit www.DollarMakers.com and read “Atlas Shrugged” by Ayn Rand. Do it now. Your prison door is not locked. On such a full sea you are now afloat.
