I remember my ex father-in-law hated his job with a passion – he was bitterly unhappy, yet he was very smart and had many skills. He decided to spend the next ten years of his life in his job so that he could retire with a nice retirement bonus from his employer and enjoy a steady income in his old age. Those ten years were hell on earth for him. All sorts of consequences followed his unhappiness, and his life spiraled downward dramatically. At the end of the ten years, his son wasted a good deal of the money, his wife died and he was a bitter and sad old man. It wasn’t worth sacrificing those ten years; he could have used his mind to create more wealth than his retirement package through Joint Ventures, and thoroughly enjoyed the process.
Too many of us work too hard for too long, and when we’re old and sickly and we have the time and the money, we don’t have the health or the energy to enjoy it. Why not retire when you’re YOUNG? Then you have the health and energy to do many exciting things. And it doesn’t have to take you longer than one year. You don’t have to be a slave to a boss or a job. And you don’t need millions in the bank, contrary to what some of those “Financial Planners” and “Investment Experts” tell you. You can retire with debt. And you don’t have to invest in schemes, scams, “Business Opportunities” and offshore nightmares. You can do it with no money or risk.
A young man asked an old rich man how he made his money. The old man fingered his worsted wool vest and said, “Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last nickel. I invested that nickel in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents. The next morning, I invested those ten cents in two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at 5:00 pm for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month, by the end of which I’d accumulated a fortune of $1.37. Then my wife’s father died and left us two million dollars.” Things are not always what they seem to be.

How badly do you want to retire, with enough passive income that you don’t have to work? How much would you spend, how hard would you work, if you know you could do that in ONE YEAR? One a scale of one to ten, one being “I don’t care” and ten being “Whatever it takes”, if you’re less than ten, don’t bother. If you’re ten or more, read on…
Here is a proven Blueprint that you can use to retire in one year with enough passive, residual income to live comfortably, using Joint Ventures.
No cost, no risk, and very little time if you do this correctly.
The only investment required is your training, coaching, and membership of the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum.
1. Establish the amount you need per month in passive income that will enable you cover all your living expenses and service your debt. Yes, you don’t have to be out of debt to retire - you just need enough income to cover all your expenses. For the purpose of this exercise, let’s assume you only need $5,000 per month within one year. That is, from your twelfth month, you will be earning at least $5,000 per month in passive income.
2. Divide the amount you need by one thousand. If you need $5,000, that number will be 5.
That is the number of Income Providers or Joint Venture Partners that you need. So you need five Joint Venture Partners, each sending you $1,000 per month within one year, for you to retire. It can be any number; if you want $6,000 per month, you need six JV partners. Some may pay you $2,000 every second month, and that’s OK. The average will work out to $1,000 per month.
5 X $1,000 per month = $5,000 per month.
3. Divide $1,000 by 12 = $83.33 per month increases. In other words, each of these five JV Partners must send you $83.33 in your first month, and each month it should increase by $83.33 per JV Partner. The second month, you need $166.66 per JV partner on average. By the 12th month (one year), each JV partner should average $1,000 per month = $5,000 per month passive income.
Month One: 5 X $83.33 = $416.65 passive income per month.
Month Two: 5 X $166.66= $ 833.33 passive income per month.
Month Three: 5 X $249.99 = $1,249 passive income per month.
Month Four: 5 X $333.32 = $1,666.66 passive income per month.
Month Twelve 5 X $1,000 = $5,000 passive income per month.
4. What do you need to do this?
First, you need TRAINING. You can attend one of our popular, proven one day Joint Venture Broker Bootcamps, or a Mom Comes Home Workshop, or you can buy our Home Study Program.
Second, you need JV Partners. That is where your income will come from. You do that by joining the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum. Our members understand JV’s, they agree to abide by our strict Code of Business Ethics, and they pay generous commissions. Platinum Membership is included in the Home Study Program!
Third, get onto our DollarMakers JV Coaching Program so that we can work with you to achieve this goal even before a year is up!
Naturally, you need to follow the training instructions and take consistent, enthusiastic ACTION. And of course, you need to have a positive attitude.
This simple, step-by step process requires no risk or selling, and very little time. It doesn’t matter if you have debt and it can work for you regardless of your background, circumstances, education, or debt level. You can retire in one year using this proven system.
If you’re really serious about retiring in one year, apply to join the Forum, get trained, and apply for the coaching program NOW. Visit www.DollarMakers.com or www.MomComesHome.com for more information.
NOTE: Not everyone is accepted into Membership or Coaching.

Sociologists took a group of eighty people and put them together in a cocktail party. Before they were sent into the room, each of 78 people was privately told to only talk about positive things, while two of them were told only to talk about negative things. This exercise was repeated twenty times with different people, and the results are amazing. In each case, without exception, it took on average six minutes before the two negative people hooked up with each other and they continued to talk with each other for the remaining 24 minutes of the experiment.
Like attracts like. Losers love losers and winners won’t tolerate their presence. Birds of the feather flock together. Who are YOU flocking with, and where is that flock heading? Negative people attract other negative people like powerful magnets. Years ago, when I was a manager for Holiday Inns, I was trained to be a certified On-the-Job-Trainer, using Transactional Analysis as one of our tools. One of the terms I will never forget is the one used to describe the communication process between people with a victim mentality: it was called, “Ain’t it awful?” Winners will be talking about their dreams and goals and losers will be talking about accidents, shootings and the bad weather.
Here’s a little experiment for you: Listen to what people are talking about, see whom they’re talking with, and you’ll get a pretty good idea of where they’re headed.

Women are natural Joint Venture Brokers. They are better than men at multi-tasking. They are also better communicators, more intuitive, less territorial and threatened, and far more social. Women are continually recommending business services, products, and opportunities to other women – why not get well paid for it?
Whether women have children at home or not, working on the phone from a bubble bath or a pool or on the beach or deck is more fun that putting up with office politics, glass ceilings and incompetent bosses, n’est-ce pas? Creating a passive income stream can literally take a few minutes on e-mail or the phone in between a spot of shopping or lunch with friends. When next you tell you girlfriend about that great spa, why not get remunerated for your marketing effort? When you refer your sister to a realtor who sells her a house, you could be pocketing a few thousand dollars in commission.
By creating multiple income streams of passive income, JV Brokers can retire from work and small, high-pressure home-based businesses so that they can spend their time with their children, husbands, friends and pets. Why bow and scrape to some bungling and egotistical boss, fight traffic or endure public transport with the steaming, sweaty herd, and then get home to your second job of keeping the family on track, when you could be trying on that new frock at the boutique? You can JV internationally and that trip to Club Med could be a tax write-off, you know. (Join our DollarMakers Dream Cruise to the Caribbean in November, for example.)
Within one month of meeting Cathi Graham, she earned over $5,000 in JV income from me. And it took her all of three hours. Now it doesn’t always go that fast, but there are no limits on how much you can earn or how fast you can earn it. All with no cost and no risk, very little time, and no selling. Oh, and Cathi will be on the cruise, by the way.
Michelle Bacani-Lim, Marketing Director of the DollarMakers Mom Comes Home Campaign, hosts stimulating, non-threatening Chapter Meetings where women get together to discuss the ways to create multiple cash cows. Women from all income levels and backgrounds attend to network, build relationships and learn how to retire in less than a year through the power of Joint Ventures. Our Workshops can teach you how to retire in one year as a JV Broker. For more information, contact Michelle directly at michelle@MomComesHome.com and ask her for a free e Book.

Many entrepreneurs and wanna-be entrepreneurs are terrified of competition, and this is evidenced by business networking groups who only allow one representative of each industry to attend their events. The “Shrinking Pie” mentality posits that there is only so much to go around. This disempowering approach is built on a timid philosophy of scant resources and lack, and is usually manifested as aggression. (Fear often incarnates as aggression.) Someone with a Scarcity Mentality focuses on shortage, risk, what can go wrong, and insufficiency. And whatever you focus on is guaranteed to grow.
Your mind is a magnet. When you are consumed by thoughts of poverty and privation, guess what kind of people you will attract into your life? This victim mindset is programmed for failure and disappointment. We seek evidence to prove our dominant beliefs, and those who mistakenly believe that everyone is out to rip them off and undermine their success will subconsciously sabotage themselves to prove themselves right. We have to be congruent, and our circumstances will always bend to reflect our self-esteem and beliefs. For example, the person who is genuinely convinced that they can’t make money will show up late for appointments, and when successful people decide to no longer do business with them because of their tardiness, they will whine, “See, I told you!” The Self Fulfilling Prophecy I not a figment of some author’s imagination.
When a penurious intellect is offered a lucrative business opportunity, its first reaction will be, “What’s the catch?” and it will immediately go on the defense and start making excuses to remain poor, mediocre and passively aggressive. They actively look for reasons why the opportunity is a scam and a hoax, while the winners eagerly grab the opportunity and rush off to make more money. Losers will seek reasons why they will fail. “It’s a holiday – there won’t be any people around to attend the seminar. It’s too expensive – nobody can afford that! (they’re projecting their own lack) I won’t make enough money! I’m being taken advantage of! What if I fail? (you’re already failing, buddy) What can go wrong?”
These people will contaminate your business, undermine your success and bleed you dry. They will discourage you, dissuade you and depress you. And they’re unlikely to change. They are a cancer on capitalism and a danger to your success. They are poison to profits and they will subconsciously do their best to drag you down to their level of despondency. Worst of all, they will attack anyone who is more successful than they are; jealously is a very common attribute of this type of person. The only way to deal with them is to drop kick them to the curb. Fast and decisively. Squish them like cockroaches and replace them with an ambitious, determined and disciplined optimist. It’s better to have no JV than a JV with a loser. And there are many great JV partners to be had. There is an abundance of money and opportunities out there, just waiting for you.
Look at nature – how many leaves on one tree? How much water in the ocean? How many trees and rocks? Focus on affluence, plentitude and abundance and you will attract it into our life. Self discipline, high standards and self-confidence will result in prosperity and luxury for you. Expect to succeed in all you do. Associate with winners, not whiners. Set great goals and believe in your dreams. A life of plenty is easily available to you through Joint Ventures, as long as you have the right JV partners. Your generous Abundance Mentality is creating a life of power and prosperity for you, and a plethora of options. Freedom is the result of right thinking. Your circumstances are a revelation of your thoughts and beliefs. Look at someone’s circumstances, listen to them talk, and decide whether or not they have what it takes to be your JV partner.

We interpret our circumstances to ourselves all the time. In other words, we explain to ourselves what our circumstances mean. The circumstances in themselves have no meaning – we give them meaning by choice. We decide what to tell ourselves about our circumstances. And the way we interpret our circumstances will determine how we react to them: fight or flight, positive or negative, opportunity or threat, meaningful or not. Our reaction will, in turn, determine our choices, and these choices create our futures.
By changing the way we interpret our circumstances, we change our perceptions, reactions and choices, and thereby our futures, because we are constantly creating our futures. The same applies to the way we interpret our past circumstances and our future options. My amazing wife, Rika, is the most positive person I have ever met. She always sees the upside of every situation.
Want an insight into how you currently interpret your circumstances?
1. What questions do you ask? “Why does everybody hate me? Why can’t I get this right? How can I survive?” That is victim thinking and scarcity mentality. Better questions are, “How can I double my sales? Why do I attract such great people? How can I add more value?”
2. Do you make excuses? “The cat died, my son broke the car, it rained, I don’t have time, I’m overwhelmed” – all pathetic victim statements. Try this: “I’m late, I’m sorry, it’s my fault and it won’t happen again.” Take control.
3. Do you take responsibility? “Everything I have and experience is my own creation. I am responsible and I deserve what I have, good or bad. I create my circumstances and I can and will damn well change them.”
The glass is half full or half empty – you decide. Winners see opportunity behind every rock. They believe in themselves and they set exciting goals. They focus on what’s great and they expect to win. I had a meeting with Member Marilla Wex this morning – what a pleasure to deal with someone who takes lemons and ends up, not with lemonade, but Veuve Cliquot. Her enthusiasm, boyancy, never-say-die attitude and can-do approach inspires everyone who knows her. A real Mensch with a brilliant mind, that one.
Every situation you face, every obstacle, every circumstance, can be interpreted positively or negatively. By managing your self-talk and being aware of your interpretive bias, you can dramatically change your future. Being surrounded by the likes of young Marilla certainly helps, too. You can’t get out of a car with Winston Bromley or Michelle Bacani-Lim without having to physically restrain yourself from skipping gaily down the road to fame and fortune. After a meal with Jim Kennedy, it’s all you can do to stop yourself from giving the waitress your wallet and asking her to max out your credit cards. Diane Mihalek makes you wonder how you can spend more time basking in the presence of her optimism. I could name at least three other people… Winners encourage one to win and remind one that we are surrounded by abundance. Your limitations are simply a figment of your imagination.
One of the best ways to handle your circumstances and keep them in perspective is through humor. And remember to arm yourself with some useful mental tools. I like these:
No Problem. This, too, will pass. I am bulletproof and unstoppable. I can handle anything that life throws at me. I attract positive people and I am a money magnet. Every day, in every way, I’m getting richer and richer. I can do anything I set my mind to. I am a warrior. This is a piece of cake. Is this the best you have? How can I double my income? How can I cut the time in half and double the results?
Finally, don’t be attached. Anything you think you NEED will control you. Want, but don’t need. Don’t be attached to people, outcomes, things, or results. Be free. Take control of your mind and create the future you want and deserve.

You have probably heard the story, “Acres of Diamonds”, about a farmer who goes bankrupt but learns from a wealthy merchant about the riches to be had by discovering diamonds. The merchant tells the poor farmer that diamonds can be found where there is running water and white sand, so the farmer sells his farm, ships his family off to live with relatives, and journeys forth to search for diamonds and wealth.
Years later, he returns destitute and sickly, to find that his wife and family are gone. Near death, he decides to visit his old farm one more time before he passes on. When he arrives at his farm, he hardly recognizes it – the ramshackle farmhouse has been replaced with a mansion and the new owner is a rich man. When the farmer inquires as to this newfound wealth, the rich man replies, “When you offered me your farm for sale, the first thing that I noticed was the white sand and running water. That’s why I bought your farm; you were literally walking on acres of diamond, but you sold it and went far away to look for wealth.”
Many of our esteemed Members search far and wide for new Joint Venture opportunities, when one of the safest and most lucrative options is right here under your feet in the form of an In-House JV Broker Bootcamp.

I often joke and say that while conventional entrepreneurs are slaving away at long hours, diminishing returns and loads of stress, Joint Venture Brokers are sitting at home watching the History Channel on TV, because hard work is history for Joint Venture Brokers. But I have to admit that I prefer the Military Channel, from whence commeth this short article.
During a fascinating show on legendary Russian military fighter planes, the words “This fighter has a power to weight ratio of more than one”, meaning that the thrust in the jets is greater than the weight of the aircraft. The same ratios apply to racing cars. It is the power the engine generates, divided by the vehicle’s (or engine) weight or vice versa. It is an indication of likely performance, and very important in aircraft in order to induce drag.
Conventional businesses are heavily weighed down by seasonality, oevrhead, insurance costs, shrinking margins, high labor costs, inventory, geographic and demographic limitations, time restraints and competition. The heavier, the business, the more energy (power) and work is required by the oentrepreneur who thinks he owns the business. So his power to weight ratio is not great. When he gets tired or sick or when he loses key employees or large clients, he reaches down between his knees and grabs the pull handle of his ejection seat, because like 90% of other small business, his plane is going down.
Optimize your energy and shift your power to weight ratio to that of a high performance, lightning fast, vicious stealth fighter by shedding the weight and drag of overhead, risk, cost and limitations through the power of Joint Ventures. Turn all your income into 100% pure profit. Joint Venture Brokers make more profit with one, simple phone call than many entrepreneurs make in two weeks of hard work in the trenches.
Replace your old Sopwith Camel with an F-22 Raptor. Soar to new heights and strike any market, anywhere, with impunity and maximum effect. Joint Venture technology is profound in its simplicity. I run my JV brokerage business with no overhead, employees, restraints, costs, inventory or limitations, and a 100% profit margin, and so can you. You will never do business the same way again.

You will meet five different JV partner types in the sea of business. Only one is the right one. Choose carefully.
1. Some people will always be standing on the deck, the dock, or the diving board, waiting, hesitating, and procrastinating before they get into the ocean. They promise and prepare endlessly, but they never take the plunge. If you look at their history, you will find that they’re usually of the employee mindset and they have never really committed to anything. They’re gutless. Walk away.
2. Some will always be struggling and battling in the water, moving from problem to problem. They let their family and personal lives contaminate their business. They will always be in trouble, always complaining and always being hit by another wave. Always overwhelmed and panicking. Victims. You can’t help them or change them; move on.
3. Some will be “surfer boys”, finding the latest fad to ride, spending money and promising the world until they find the next one – the wave moves on. They’re usually seminar junkies and they buy every course that comes along and never implement the information. They jump from one thing to the next, like children getting new toys, losing interest fast and avoiding work and commitment. Not good.
4. Some with be rudderless, getting pushed this way and that by the currents and the weather of life and business, never taking control, politically correct, weak, impotent and usually passive aggressive. They’re not driven or ambitious and they always take the easy route. A typical scenario is men who are financially supported by their wives or rich kids with a trust fund. They like titles and avoid goal setting like the plague. Not a good choice for you.
5. Then you get the sailors, who are ideal JV partners. These people adjust their sails to the wind and go exactly where they want to go. They are goal directed and they take responsibility for their lives and their business success. They are skilled, determined, and flexible, and they achieve success regardless of their circumstances. They have a track record of accomplishments. They are the right people to work with.

I was catatonic in the shower, just staring at the wall tiles and thinking – not a new experience, as I am wont to get stuck in my head on a regular occasion – while the water poured over me. I remembered when we landed in Canada as new immigrants with four suitcases and some money ten years ago. We’d never been to Canada before and we came because statistically, Canada is the best country to live in in the world, and Vancouver the best city in the world to live. It has since dropped to third place after Lausanne and Bern in Switzerland, largely because of the traffic. We’d never been to Canada before and we knew not a living soul. I was about to turn 45 and we were excited to start a new life. In retrospect, it was the right decision, no question about it.
We took the first month off, then incorporated the business, printed flyers, and business cards and started joint venturing. Within three months, we had a livable income. Now the reason for my trance in the shower was that I imagined what would have happened had I met myself at that time. Imagine if this balding, 54 year old character had sidled up and said, “Hey, Robin, I’m Robin. This is what I can do for you: I will link you up with over 500 people in nine different countries that want to do JV’s with you and pay you. They have all agreed to abide by our code of business ethics and the dishonest ones get fired, plus they understand JV’s, unlike 99% of the owners of small and medium-sized businesses.
I will give you all the tools, support, local meetings, conventions, conference calls, training, access and help you need to create a livable passive income with no cost or risk and very little time. In fact, if you work hard, you can retire in two years. Everything you need is available to you – tried, tested, and proven in this new culture in this new country. You don’t have to waste time or money or find out what doesn’t work. You don’t need to kiss so many frogs to find princes; we have a whole stable of them. You don’t have to interview hundreds of losers and posers and conmen – I can fast track your career as a JV Broker. All the resources you could ever need are already available to you right now through JV’s with hundreds of other Members. All for a thousand dollars.” In fact, you can get it all through our Home Study Program for only $597, including your own website, ready-made JV’s and all you need to succeed magnificently.”
What do you think my response would have been? What’s yours? Of all the no brainers, this is the biggest. The only people who would shun this opportunity are either so negatively conditioned, cynical, and pessimistic that they are condemned to mediocrity and frustration, or people who don’t need more money. Those with an IQ over 100 and an iota of optimism and self-esteem grab the opportunity like a fluttering thousand dollar bill on a windy day on a busy street. As Mr. Frost told us, “Two roads diverged in a wood…” Choose. Today. While you still can. For more information, visit www.DollarMakers.com

Rika recently attended a great Red Hat event and had lots of fun. They had an Elvis impersonator doing his thang and everyone enjoyed themselves. Which made me wonder why so many of us live vicariously through other people and wear our carefully crafted outfits and masks. Like the fool I met in a Scottish quilt at an event. I asked him when he had immigrated from Scotland and he revealed that he was born and bred in Canada and had never even been out of the country. Why not be proud of your own country, instead of pretending to be a Scot? Nothing wrong with Scots – I’m an Elliott – but I’m not Scottish, am I? Do you think so little of yourself and your own identity that you have to pretend to be someone else?
When I was 20 years old I asked my older German friend, Klaus, what he thought about pornography. He replied, “Robin, I don’t watch other people – I do or I don’t do.” I have never forgotten that simple, yet profound advice. When his sports team wins, the fanatic shouts jubilantly, “WE won!” And when the team loses, this couch potato simpers, “THEY lost”. He is not a creator or a participant. He lives vicariously through “his” sports team. He is too weak and insipid to play the sport so he gives advice from the sidelines. People live their lives through their children, their elected officials, their groups, service clubs, and cults – why not live your OWN life and be yourself?
There’s nothing wrong with belonging and being proud of your associations, enjoying your sports team and supporting your church. It’s when your own identity gets suppressed and put on hold for the “greater good” or when your self-esteem is so low that you only feel important by association. Be proud of whom you are. Stand up for what you believe in. Be an individual. Create your own reality and success. Take off the costumes, disguises, wigs and false personas. Balding men who grow ponytails and beards and use comb-overs to avoid reality, and aging female realtors who have fifteen year old photos of themselves on their business cards are a good example of a poor self-image. Reject the collectivism in our society and be an individual.
Ayn Rand said, “Men have been taught that it is a virtue to agree with others. But the creator is the man who disagrees. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to swim with the current. But the creator is the man who goes against the current. Men have been taught that it is a virtue to stand together. But the creator is the man who stands alone.” A great book (my personal all-time favorite) that will help you to take back your life is Atlas Shrugged

Napoleon Hill clearly described the remarkable power of the Mastermind in his “Think and Grow Rich” classic. The most important ingredients in the group were honestly, integrity, common goals and values, and relationship. That automatically precludes people who don’t know one another well from thinking they’re in a Mastermind, simply because they paid someone a hefty fee to join the club. Those involved have to be winners, not losers, or passengers.
By combining our disparate frames of reference, personality styles, intelligence, experience, skills, knowledge, training, and insights, we all become geniuses. Alone, it’s hard to achieve certain goals, but together, we can do amazing things. By combining our resources, we become an unstoppable force. Many years ago, Someone changed the world with only twelve disciples. You don’t need a large group of mediocre wanna-be’s; you need a GOOD group of winners with ethical, exciting and compelling vision in order to make your Mastermind to work.
The DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum provides a wonderful resource for Members who want to form their own Mastermind groups: a huge pool of people to choose from, all with a common understanding of reciprocity and value through Joint Ventures, combined with the capitalist philosophy. By being very selective, doing your due diligence, and testing the water before committing to a long-term relationship, you can find the ideal Forum Members to join with you in this powerful Mastermind process.
Our local Chapter Meetings are an expression of the Mastermind, and function in much the same way, only on a less structured, less formal basis. This is a great training ground. Out of these groups, Members can form their own personal, intimate, Mastermind groups. Make sure you share the same values, ideals, goals, ethics and morals before you finalize your selection of Mastermind Members. Read everything Napoleon Hill teaches about masterminds (be very careful where you obtain your information – I would stick to Mr. Hill.) Our Members have all agreed to abide by our Code of Ethics and all agree with the principle of JV’s and reciprocity, so you’re off to a flying start.
The Dollarmakers Management Team is a great example of a successful, functioning Mastermind with common goals, ethics, and values. Talk is cheap, but money buys the whiskey, so judge us by our results. As an iNTj (Meyers Briggs) myself, I was pleased to find the following, which you will find useful: Click here.
Self-analysis can put us in a position to complement our weaknesses and profit from our strengths in the Mastermind context. We need different personality styles to make it work optimally. There is no right or wrong type; we strive to find the right COMBINATION of characters to make the Mastermind work. Click here to see my profile.

Imagine you at Club Med. Azure ocean, white sand, swaying palms. But you have been locked in small, dark, smelly a room with brick walls. Outside, resting in a deckchair and sipping ice-cold pina coladas, there is a courier waiting for you with ten million dollars if you can get out of the room within 24 hours. Your dreams are waiting for you just beyond the walls of your prison, and you have 24 hours to change your life. You are armed with a heavy, strong steel hammer.
At which point will you take action and start breaking a hole through the wall? At which point will you decide you need to rest, sleep, or “kick back”? How hard will you work, and how much action will you take? Will you stop when you get a little blister of your hand? Will you whine, “It’s just not fair”? What will it take for you to quit? Will you try to call the government or your mommy to help you? Will you start blaming George Bush, your parents and the dog next door for your predicament, or will you enthusiastically smash away at that wall with gusto and passion, knowing that you will work hard for two days to live the rest of your life in luxury?
We have limited time and unlimited opportunities. We have all the tools we need and all the support required to make our dreams come true. There is an abundance of money, fun, success, and happiness to be had for those few who are determined, persistent, hard working and focused. We’re all in our own little prisons, and we all have the opportunity to get out and skip along the beach with more money than we need. DollarMakers offers you the hammer and the opportunity, but you have to break your walls down. Those walls of conditioning, skepticism, pessimism, pride, and scarcity thinking have to come down, and we have limited time.
In my twenty years of business experience, I have found that your success is not determined by your education, age, circumstances or background, but by your attitude, beliefs and level of motivation. After all, if you didn’t believe that courier was sitting outside your cell with ten million dollars and you enjoyed the dank, cold closet because you could smoke putrid cigarettes and sleep without disturbance, why would you even pick that hammer up? The fact is that persistent, unwavering, and consistent action gets remarkable results. Dogged determination and steadfast commitment make you unstoppable and guarantee your success.
I created a special DVD recently to help you achieve a bulletproof mindset that will turn you into a force to be reckoned with. You will become the hammer. For more information, Click here now.
