Imagine if you had ten solid Joint Venture Partners and each of these people was honest and professional and understood JV’s. And each provided a good product or services and paid generous, on-going commissions. If you think this is hard to achieve, it is, unless you have access to the right people, which is what you buy when you join the DollarMakers Joint Venture Club. Over 500 potential JV partners. Pick ten. I have twenty. OK. So now you have these ten good people. Let’s look at the income potential.
Imagine each partner as a letter of the alphabet. You have A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J. If you selected your partners carefully, so that they all serve the same kind of demographic and psychographic target, which is what I teach, then the potential is that you could link A to each of the other letters, B to each of the other letters, and so forth. In other words, A sells to B’s database, B sells to A’s database, A sells to C’s Database, C sells to A’s database, and you get paid on all transactions on an ongoing basis. The potential from these ten JV partners is now ninety JV’s. All within the same group. I always recommend that my students not touch a JV that doesn’t have the potential to make at least $1,000 per month. That’s >$90,000 per month potential.
The best part is that this involves little time and work, no risk or cost, and no stress. It’s really very simple; if A sells travel, and B sells computer services, and C sells legal services, it makes sense that they can cross promote and cross sell, and that all these JV’s can run in parallel. Some of these JV’s will not work, for whatever reason. No problem! Nobody loses any money or sleep. The worst that can happen is that you don’t make any money, but you can’t lose any money either! Here’s the thing: if only one out of ten of these JV’s worked and they only made a measly $1,000 per month each, you would still be earning $9,000 per month in residual income, and if you built in good back ends, leverage and duplication, that amount would grow monthly.
I’m not a mathematician and I have enough business experience to be very realistic about my expectations, especially in a world where it’s hard to find honest, committed, professional people who actually work, but I have never seen anything as powerful as the principles of leverage and duplication, which JV’s give us. Through JV’s you have access to every resource you could ever want, and by acquiring and developing this mindset you have unlimited earning potential.
And it’s great fun to do business only with people you like, to do it with little time and no cost or risk, and to be as creative as you like, with no fear of failure and 100% profit, no overhead and the world your oyster.

Imagine there was a nation-wide lottery for a Golden Acorn. Tickets sold for $100 each, and millions of tickets were sold. The biggest lottery in history. The Lottery people know that most lottery winners lose all their money within two or three years, since they never learned to handle money, so the Golden Acorn win was different. The person who won the Golden Acorn would have to carefully plant, nurture and water it for five years before it bore fruit, at which time it would become a Money Tree, bearing more money than the winner could ever spend. The winner of the Golden Acorn would get a full list of fail-safe instructions to grow the Money Tree. It was a proven system, successfully used by thousands in the past.
So here it is: Five years of work to get this Golden Acorn grown into a Money Tree that produces more fruit (money) than you could ever spend. AND YOU WON THE GOLDEN ACORN. Out of millions of people, you are the winner! Would you plant the Golden Acorn and meticulously follow the instructions for five years, putting in two hours or more a day, every day without fail, to get the Money Tree? Would you follow the system exactly, for two hours a day for five years to get more money than you could ever want? Remember, it’s a sure thing. No guesswork. I think you would. Not five years to retirement, but five years to wealth.
And how about if this Money Tree started producing small amounts of fruit (money) immediately? What if the amount of money started small, but grew along with the tree? EVEN BETTER! At my parent’s home in South Africa, we have a large avocado pear tree that bears more fruit than anyone can eat, so every year they give away bags of these enormous, delicious avocado pears – one is enough for an entire meal. Just like the Money Tree, it bears over and over again.
Here’s the good news: I have a Golden Acorn for you. And the more you nurture and feed it, the faster it will grow! Would you like to change your life by using proven systems, easy directions, and simple activities to get your own Money Tree? This is not a lottery. It’s a sure thing. There is no chance or luck here – you will reap exactly what you sow. But you have to work at it, follow the instructions that many others have, to get the same results. You have to spare us your brilliance and simply follow the system, diligently and enthusiastically. You’ll get all the support you need. If you’re prepared to do what others don’t, you will have what others won’t.

You and I both know that you can’t motivate anyone else. You can remind them of their “WHY”, you can threaten and cajole, you can offer incentives and bribes, and look for leverage, but ultimately people must motivate themselves. So in order to get salespeople selling, receptionists smiling and going the extra mile, admin staff showing up to work on time and maintaining a positive attitude and working hard, your downline producing and showing up to meetings, and cleaners cleaning well, we suggest they read self-development books, don’t we? We buy them books and CD’s and DVD’s and other motivational material and we send them on courses and seminars.
This is what we do. It does work, and it costs us a lot of money. Why? Because people seldom appreciate that which they don’t pay for. I recently talked with a man who has literally thousands of people in his Network Marketing downline. He said the biggest hindrance he has is negativity, fear, and bad conditioning, so he spends a small fortune of books, CD’s and seminars for his leaders. When I showed him this alternative, he nearly went crazy! Here’s what I showed him.
“John”, I said, “You have to motivate thousands of people, but it costs a bundle of money, so you can only focus on a few of them and it still costs you a lot, plus they don’t appreciate or use it because it’s free to them. I have a way for you to have THEM eagerly pay for their own stuff, only they get a hundred times more, for less than the price of a cup of coffee per day. In addition, there is an MLM component to it, so you and they get paid to share this remarkable option.” As I say, he immediately joined and he’s been smiling ever since.

On CNN this very morning, the announcer said that two thirds of Americans were “highly stressed”, the main causes being work, money, and kids. 95% of Americans live in debt, and most walk around enveloped in a black cloud of worry. Mounting debts, a 30-year mortgage, student loans, car loans, and multiple credit cards all conspire to sap our energy and enthusiasm. 90% of North Americans are technically bankrupt - if they were to lose their jobs, realize their assets and pay off their debts, they would owe more than they have = bankruptcy. Two paychecks away from homelessness - scary! I have a solution for you.
With no retirement prospects in sight, relationships adversely affected, no time with family and kids, pressures at work, and no emergency money supply to cushion unexpected financial problems, it’s time to face the facts. It’s time to realize that if we don’t do something about this situation in our lives, things will simply get worse. I have a solution for you.
I know you get bad debt and good debt, and of course you know that you can make 12% on the bank’s money if you have equity or a line of credit - if you want to know how to do that, contact me at robin@dollarmakers.com - but here I am talking about the bad, stinky debt that affects every aspect of your life and grows like a cancer. You don’t see your children growing up - two days a week is not enough - and there are repercussions when parents seldom see each other or the kids, as you know. I have a solution for you.
The anxiety and depression caused by debt, the sleepless nights, frustration, and resulting poor health, which in turn creates more debt - a downward cycle- won’t be cured by tightening the belt or refinancing - those are simply band-aids. The simple reason for debt is that you spend more than you bring in.That’s all. Now you have only two choices: Spend less or make more. That’s it. And I’m not talking about exacerbating your situation and turning the knife in the wound by getting a second job (JOB= Just Over Broke). I am talking about a way to radically increase your income, FAST, that can be used to obliterate debt, to kill the cockroaches of rising debt permanently, and to set yourself free.
People advertise courses that will set you free from debt in seven years. That’s a LONG TIME to suffer! There is a much easier, faster way to create additional income. It costs nothing except the training, which is under $600, and there is no selling required, very little time, and it can work for you regardless of your background, education, age, circumstances, or debt load. And before you say, “But I can’t afford $600″, remember that NOT taking action is going to cost you a lot more than $600! Like when my mechanic told me that the water pump in my car needed replacing. The first question I had was, “How much will it cost me?” To which he wisely replied, “How much will it cost you if you DON’T fix that water pump?”
If you want the peace of mind that comes with being free of debt, DollarMakers provides the solution. Become a Joint Venture Broker. Everything you need, all the training, support, education, and access, is available to you by attending a Joint Venture Broker Bootcamp or purchasing our Success Library, the home study program that includes Membership and support. Whether you have a business or not, whether you are unemployed, have a job, or are retired, a new immigrant or a company CEO, this will work for you.

I just finished watching a DVD that I get from a company I am involved with and I am so motivated I wanted to share this with you, my dear readers. This exceptional information is from exceptional speakers who all became millionaires through this company - one was a mailman, another was a single parent.
Your WHY will determine what you do: WHY = What Hurts You?
What is your IQ (In other words, at what stage will you say, I QUIT? What is bigger than your WHY?) What will you allow to stop you?
What’s bigger? Your dreams or your excuses? Excuses are made to be broken. You can’t make excuses and make money.
What are you willing to sacrifice to reach your dreams? What price are you prepared to pay? We must be the change agents and not allow others to change us. Delete negative people from your FaceBook page, Linked-In, your e-mail address book, your cell phone, your speed dial, and your life.
Apply your WHY - wield it like a sword to slice through negativity!
“Though I am challenged, I’m still winning!”
Who is counting on you to succeed and persevere?
Fear and Faith cannot co-exist.
For average people, the threat always outweighs the opportunity: “I dig the ditch to earn the money to buy the food that gives me energy to dig the ditch” = JOB. They allow their fear to put their faith in a wheelchair. They’re hooked on pain!
My only ENEMY is the INNER ME.

As Halloween arrives, I see a plastic bubble for sale in stores with a talking head inside it, activated by touch, pre-programmed to say funny / scary things - a crystal ball. When Rika and I bought this new home, we threw out the furniture we no longer wanted and completely redecorated before we moved in - walls, floors, furniture, paintings, ornaments, you name it. We changed a lot - alarm system, TV / satellite / cable provider, telephone service, Internet service. We created exactly what we wanted. We spared no expense and we didn’t compromise at all. So now when I sit here in my study, everything I see is what I put here, the mementos, the desks, the lighting, the books, everything.
When you look around your home and life, look at your friends, your bank balance, your attitude, your relationships and health, it’s the same thing - it’s what you have created. 99% of it. We attract what we love and fear, think about, yearn for, consider important and desire. The older you get, the more apparent this becomes, unless you’ve a victim mentality and you like blaming things on God, the Universe, your father, society, the government, your ex spouse or the weather, in which case you probably wouldn’t be reading my Blog. This Blog is designed to repulse and anger losers. That’s why there is no pace for comments - I don’t care what your opinion is and I don’t want your comments.
The fact that you created what you have is fantastic news, because it means you are the creator of your own life and circumstances, and that you can change your life and circumstances. Just like furniture, you can discard bad people, bad relationships, bad attitudes and choices, and replace them with new ones of your choice. You are in charge. You own a crystal ball and the best news is that you control it; you control your future. And if you say, “I can’t control what others do”, you’re right, but you can control your reactions and choices. You can’t control the wind, but you can trim and adjust the sails in your boat, and you can sail anywhere you damn well please. You are the captain of your ship and the master of your own destiny, and the future starts RIGHT NOW.
You need two things- a vehicle or ship, and in this analogy that is a business, because money is involved in around 95% of your choices, and secondly a map, or guidance. DollarMakers provides both: the vehicle is a Joint Venture Broker Business, and the map is our support, guidance, and access to the right people. With the right attitude and the right tools, you become unstoppable. If you want to be bulletproof, motivated, energized and focused on your goals, you need daily input and guidance.
So here’s the recipe for your future:
1. Join the DollarMakers Joint Venture Broker Club www.DollarMakers.com
2. Attend one of our training Bootcamps or get our Success Library (which includes Membership)
3. Join Success University
As you do this, you consciously put your future on track for success beyond your wildest dreams. You take full responsibility for your future. You create exactly what you want, and you get to enjoy the life you have personally designed. The future will arrive - you just have to decide what future you want to live in, because if you don’t design it, someone else will surely design it for you. I’m glad I get to design my life. You should, too; it’s fun.

Make a cup of tea, unplug your phone, and read carefully. This little chat could change your future dramatically.
If you’re concerned about your retirement, you might have read Lee Eisenberg’s well -known book, “The Number” (the Number refers to the amount of money you need in liquid assets in order to retire), and you believe you need more than $1,000,000. The rising cost of medical care and the increasing cost of living in North America will ensure that many of us will be broke, scared, and sad in our old age. One dreads the thought of being a bagger at SafeWay, flipping burgers with teens, or standing in the rain or snow in winter as a seventy-five-year-old security guard. Even worse, watching impudent youngsters in a diner, impatiently snapping their fingers at your sixty-five-year-old waitress wife as she battles with arthritis and fatigue.
While we wear smart clothes paid for by credit cards, walk on financed carpets in our mortgaged house, and drive a leased car, we may feel successful, but the reality is we’re in deep trouble. The government will be unable to help us in our old age. Millions of citizens will return from their home countries in their dotage to take advantage of our health care system, as will the illegal immigrants. And your chances of getting to a million dollars in liquid assets may not be as good as they once were, especially since your divorced, single parent daughter moved back home with her screaming offspring and your 34-year-old loser son still lives in your basement.
Increasing debt and vulnerability is a reality for many as they age.
As we get older, our energy, memory, and health are not what they used to be. Unexpected ailments arise, along with unforeseen expenses. Things break and need replacing. The missus needs special care. We have to hire people to do things we could once do ourselves, and service people are extremely expensive.
We get laid off, fired and “let go” when our employers find that they can pay a younger, eager, and energetic immigrant a fraction of what we earn, and we find that we don’t have the same appeal we once did when going for job interviews. What to do? What real options do we have? Wer’e understandably more careful and risk-averse than before.
A bunch of people are seriously considering retiring in faraway places like Ecuador, Panama, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, Thailand and the like. The grass is certainly greener over the cesspit. I grew up in a country (South Africa) that is now third world and sinking fast, so I know the difference between first and third world countries. I have already immigrated once, and I don’t like the idea of subjecting my wife to an alien culture again, especially in a “developing” country where you are definitely not as safe as you might be led to believe by the person selling you that dream property. I don’t like this option any more than that of moving to some godforsaken little village and calling it “downsizing”, when in reality all you’re doing is delaying the inevitable while significantly dropping your standard of living and quality of life, when that’s the last thing you should be doing at this time of your life.
Here’s the bottom line: This is your option: You can spend less or you can earn more.The latter is a lot more appealing to me and it should be to you, too. I’m not talking about getting involved with some get-rich-quick scheme or risking your life savings, however meager, on some franchise or business opportunity scam.
I’m talking about a minor investment (less than $1,000) to learn how to earn as much money as you want in a relatively short period of time with no selling, overhead, no further investment, or pressure. Part-time. Anywhere in the world. I have run my business comfortably from Los Angeles, Hawaii, Cancun, Johannesburg, Toronto, Vancouver, England - and I live in Vancouver. Regardless of your age, circumstances, background connections, or education, you can become a Joint Venture Broker and retire easily, soon, and comfortably. No downgrading, no tightening of the proverbial belt, no compromise. On the country, you can UPGRADE your quality of life and enjoy a relaxed, secure, and happy old age.
I have a twenty year track record and I teach people all over the world to do this. I’m nearly 55, and I live what I teach. For more information, visit my website at www.DollarMakers.com.

Prison recidivism is the return to prison of ex-prisoners due to new offenses. It’s high. I have coined the phrase, “Job Recidivism” to describe the return to a job after people have been released to get into their own businesses. It’s also high - much higher, in fact, than prison recidivism!
Yes, most fail. MOST. 87% in the first five years, and 87% of the remaining 13% in the next five years. That’s a 98.31% recidivism rate! Scary. Well, not so scary when you understand WHY they fail and have to go find a job again - back to financial, mental, and emotional prison. See, people don’t fail in business by accident - there is always a reason why we fail and why we succeed.
There a few basic reasons why people fail in business. First, the wrong business at the wrong time. Second, wrong advice. Third, no market for the product or service. Fourth, overhead too high and sales too low = cash flow crisis. and fifth, WRONG UNDERSTANDING. That’s right. If people understood business and money better, they wouldn’t put themselves in a position to fail! They would plan correctly, get the right advice, remove risk and the necessity to sell, and spread their income sources. And they would have the right attitude towards money and business.
In the library the other day, I saw a children’s book called, “How to Clone Sheep”. Honestly. Well, sheep should not get into business, and you should not take advice from a sheep. Sheep have jobs. They play hooky, brown-nose their bosses, compromise their values and believe in fairies. Well, not quite, but anyone who thinks he has job security might as well believe in fairies. You clone sheep by sending them to a university they get taught by academic sheep to get an MBA or a marketing degree. Sheep are cloned by mystics, collectivists, school teachers and socialists. They abhor personal responsibility, accountability, and freedom, and they yearn to be controlled. Sheep should not get into business any more than a person with arachnophobia should start a spider day care. But I digress.
Here’s the bottom line: whether you already have a business or if you’re thinking of escaping that prison that you call a job, you need the RIGHT UNDERSTANDING so that you make the right choices and understand what business is really all about. If you know how to remove the risk and make an unlimited amount of money, and if you can put a superb support system in place that doesn’t contain sheep, you will succeed.
The transition from sheep to successful entrepreneur is not an easy one. When I studied psychology and theology (only to discover that I was in a cult!) I took special note of cults, group dynamics, and brainwashing. Did you know that there are people who specialize in rescuing people from cults and then reprogramming them? Fascinating reading. Sheep employees need reprogramming in order to avoid recidivism. You may not realize it, but there are a number of people out there who have sharp butchers knives and they love mutton. They put on the disguise of bank managers, university profs and seminar leaders. They have a vested interest in your failure in business, believe it or not. And they are always very friendly. They’re huggers. They call you “buddy” and smile a lot. But that is for another article.
Give yourself a quick check-up from the neck up: Do you understand business? Your circumstances will tell you if you do or if you don’t. If you can run your busines from anywhere in the world with one hour a day, with no risk, 100% profit, and unlimited potential for growth, I can’t teach you a thing.

You pay to get in to Disneyland, then all the rides are free. Works for me. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could pay once, then all your business after that, for the rest of your life, was free? No leases, overhead, cost of sales, payroll, inventory to purchase, courier costs, royalties or licenses? That would mean, of course, that all your income was 100% profit! Most important of all, what if it only took an hour a day to run your business, and the rest of the day was yours to enjoy - every day? Sounds like a fairytale to most entrepreneurs.
The fact is, you CAN have this kind of Disney business. As a Joint Venture Broker, that is exactly how your business works. No selling, no cost or risk, very little time, no overhead, 100% profit. Plus unlimited income potential, no seasonal ups and downs, no scarcity or competition, no employees (HURRAY!) and multiple RESIDUAL income courses.
“How about the entry fee?” That’s the best part. This is not a huge, overwhelming, frightening, hundred thousand dollar investment. All you need is training, support, and access to the right people. ALL of that is available from $500 for the initial, one-day training Bootcamp, and $250 per year for Membership, access and support. $750 to change your business, change your life, and set you free.
And if you really want a magical life, commit to hard work for one year and you can RETIRE in one year with enough passive income from multiple sources to cover all your expenses and service your debt. You already work hard - how about working smart?
Whether you have a business or not, and regardless or your education, age, background, circumstances or experience, you can do this. We have a twenty- year, international track record of success. Attend one of our Bootcamps - they are presented across the UK and North America.
Testimonial:
“Robin Elliott’s teaching has changed the way I do business. I used to think building a business was risky and expensive. Robin showed me how to build my business using no money and no risk; just some time . Not only did I get to meet some winners by going to the boot camp, Robin has continued to take an interest in my success often taking time to respond to my queries. By adding just 1 of his strategies to my experience, IN MY EXISTING BUSINESS, I make an additional $5000 per month. It’s not completely work free; I still put in about 8 hours per month maintaining it. Not everything I have tried has worked, and a couple have outright failed; but in spite of that within 7 months of attending his boot camp I was financially free. The point is that besides the initial cost of the boot camp there was no risk whatsoever. I highly recommend anyone looking to take the risk out of business and increase your profits attend this next boot camp. I’ll be there!” ~ Patrick Giesbrecht, Abbotsford, BC October, 2007

I often meet “Has-beens” - people who trade on what they once did. Long-gone past successes. They achieved something in the distant past and now they have nothing. A lot of speakers are like that, too; selling out-of-date information and systems that simply don’t work anymore. Recently, I was told what a fantastic marketing expert someone was, and my question was, “If he’s such a hot shot, what was he doing in a meeting where 90% of the people were a bunch of losers with no money?” Has-been.
Ask that has-been why he is even talking to you about how he can increase your sales when you have no sales to increase. “Oh, you have a job, but you’re actually an entrepreneurial wizard? And you say the cat hair and cigarette ash on your coat is actually a fashion statement of the rich and famous? Amazing. Yeah, and I’m out of here. Need a quarter to call your wife to come fetch you, or will you be taking the bus? Oh, and buy a razor.”
Then there are the “Gonna-be’s” with their schemes and dreams and start-ups and silly ideas, selling investments and saving the world, armed with bogus business plans while they arrive at meetings on the sky train because they can’t even afford a car. The scary thing is that many companies survive on investors’ money, and the only way they can keep going is scamming more investors. They continuously promise the world and tell you about successes and promises in far-off countries where you can’t check up on them, especially China and South America.
“If you’re so successful, why are we meeting in a McDonald’s, and where’s your office? Oh, you don’t have a physical address on your business card that you printed on your son’s home computer? Oh, and I see you have a GMail address. Interesting. Oh, it’s actually your wife who is successful, and you’re just her pet conman? Wow. You don’t have a website, and you can’t afford the price of lunch, but you’re expecting to make millions of dollars, right? And you find investors at business networking clubs where 90% of the people are self-employed salespeople with no money? Hmmm. Goodbye, so long, auf wiedersehen, goodnight!”
Avoid both of the above and find people who are actually already successful and getting more successful. Don’t believe anything they tell you; check them out first. The world is full of hucksters who have learned how to pose as real businesspeople. Do your due diligence and remember that the best place to hide is on the Internet. If you’re looking for a good JV partner, make sure you are dealing with the real thing. Gullibility is expensive and can cost you your reputation. And if someone is flashing money around, make sure he actually earned it and it’s not his wife’s, his daddy’s, or his inheritance.
There are some great people around to do business with, but it does take some time to find them. It’s worth a spot of patience.

We all want an easier, less complicated life, don’t we? Less frustration and stress. Less wasted time. Well, here is a message you can consistently send out to everyone you know, and everyone you do business with, that will go a long way to alleviating your annoyance. In fact, you could use it as a signature on all your e mails, if you have the guts to to so! Here it is:
Please note that, unless I am specifically forewarned, if my e mails and calls to you are not returned within 24 hours, I will assume you are not interested in my proposal or working with me and I will no longer be available. Excuses are not acceptable. Do not put me on hold while on the phone with me - I will not be available after that. Regarding business proposals, I interpret “I’ll think about it” as “No.” Results count. Everything else is superfluous. There is no TRY - only DO or do not do. $

A well-known speaker once told a story about a beautiful antique birdcage he bought and hung up in his house. When visitors saw the birdcage, their inevitable question was, “So where’s the bird?” Eventually, he got tired of people requesting whereabouts of the elusive feathered creature, that he went out and bought a bird to put into the cage.
When you create a cage, a bird will arrive. Nature abhors a vacuum. Create the expectancy, the vehicle, the vacuum, the opportunity. If you don’t have a bank account, where will you put the money when you earn it? Buy your skis before hitting the slopes. Prepare to succeed. How do I know if someone will succeed or not? They put money down. If you don’t expect to get a bird, you won’t buy a cage. How do I know you won’t succeed? You will say things like, “When I see it, I will believe it.” Or, “I’ll buy a birdcage once I get a bird.” Guess what? You’re never going to get a bird. Want lots of birds? Get lots of birdcages. A birdcage is like a money machine / Joint Venture.
We get what we expect. Take action. Reinforce your beliefs. Force yourself through the barriers of fear, doubt, and pessimism. Winners expect to win. They prepare for winning. When developers put up those big, colorful, exciting billboards to depict the building that is going to stand on that vacant lot, they have absolutely no doubt that it will materialize. While the building is being built, they face, and overcome, multiple problems and challenges that you and I will never get to hear about. But they never quit. They don’t leave the building half-built. Losers leave things half done. When I look at my genealogies in my Network Marketing businesses, I see how people fade and quit very easily. That is a great way to know who the losers are so that you can avoid them like the proverbial plague in future. What does the billboard for your life look like?
So stop whining - buy a bloody birdcage, or go waste someone else’s time; I’m busy getting birds for my birdcages.

This topic usually invites the description of manipulative, strong-arm, offensive, even intimidating closes that are usually designed to take advantage of the weak, the less intelligent, and the desperate. They include the Alternative Choice, Puppy-dog, Order Form and numerous other sly techniques that often result in Buyer’s Remorse and “OK, the I bought this time, but I will never buy from you again, let alone refer my friends to you, you bully!” response.
Here’s how to close a sale without having to close: Offer people what they want! Now the reality is that usually, the only person that can do that each and every time is a Joint Venture Broker. If you’re selling boats and I want a lawnmower more than my life, it won’t work. But if you’re focused on helping people to get what they want instead of forcing something down their throats in order to earn your commission, become a Joint Venture Broker. That way, you help them get what they want and the supplier pays you, so you get what you want and you make a friend instead of an enemy.

Last night we had good friends over for dinner. During the course of the evening, this couple mentioned in passing that their car had been stolen, and two other mishaps that had befallen them that would have had the average person floundering, complaining, and panicking. Not so these winners. They simply roll with the punches and only afford it the attention it deserves and warrants. They are focused on far more important things. Steve and Sandra are precious friends and a huge asset in our lives.
Imagine a little white plastic ping pong ball rolling down a rutted, bumpy dirt road. It will bounce along, get stuck, and get blown off course by every breeze and gust of wind, and every small rock or ridge will be a major obstacle. This represents the weak, the lazy, and the uncommitted traveler on the road of life. Easily distracted, overwhelmed by every obstacle, looking for any excuse to quit, complaining about his circumstances, whining and feeling like a victim. The small ball.
Now imagine a huge, heavy tractor tire rolling down that sames rutted road. It hardly notices the bumps. It is hard to divert it from its course. It crushes small bumps, splashes through the water - almost as if it doesn’t even notice it. This represents a person who has grown, matured and learned how to handle life. The committed, professional, dedicated and courageous individual who is both self-assured and reliable. The big ball.
My daughter is a big ball. She has endured some very serious obstacles in her life, yet she remains confident, friendly, unspoilt, warm, happy, loving, kind, optimistic, and determined. Others would have used these challenges to justify drugs, addiction, bad behavior, failed marriages, and a negative, cynical attitude. Not Sacha. When you meet her, you would think her life has been a bed of roses sans thorns. BIG ball. Very strong.
When choosing people to Joint Venture with, seek out the big balls. They keep perspective and they’re good people to have in your foxhole. They don’t make mountains out of molehills. While employeetypes focus on problems to justify their jobs (”Look how hard I work, boss! Look how tough my life is, but I persevere!”), and all they really accomplish is to force their boss to start looking for their replacement, real entrepreneurs and visionaries only ascribe sufficient attention to the bumps to resolve them. When you’re focusing on the sun, shadows are not a problem.
Perception is reality. Whatever you focus on will grow. Focus on what is wrong, and life seems a dreary existence. Focus on what is working, and life looks good. You can get better or you can get bitter: your choice. My wonderful wife and raison d’etre, Rika, is the epitome of a positive attitude. She is unstoppable. She can be stranded in the middle of a thunderstorm and she will notice how beautiful the lightning is. She wakes up smiling. Amazing person. BIG ball. Life is as good or as bad as you decide it is.
Simple Recipe for Joint Venture Success: Remove the small balls from your life and replace them with big balls. How do you know you’re dealing with a small ball? You cringe when they call or e mail you, because you know you’re going to hear how bad, how tough, and how unfair life is. They find excuses for everything, quit on you at the last minute, and usually have an ulterior motive. Big balls will cheer you, inspire you, encourage you and brace you. And here’s the most important part of the recipe: Rather no balls than small balls.
How about YOU? The bigger I get, the smaller life’s obstacles become. How do I become a bigger ball? Self development. See www.MoreSU.info and join here: www.DollarMakersWealth.com The most successful people I know are joining Success University. People like Winston Bromley. Big balls getting even bigger. Big balls dream big and accomplish their goals.
I couldn’t resist this: “Life is a ball for big balls and their friends.”

Roy H. Williams put it very well: “Young people have enthusiasm, theories, and fresh ideas. Old coots have experience and answers. It takes years of experiments and mountains of money to discover what will and will not work. Do you want to spend your own years and mountains? Or would you prefer to listen to a coot?”
Let me qualify that: SOME old coots have experience and answers. In business, we need to combine the optimism, open-mindedness and energy of youth with the good experience of old age. I’m not talking about the cynicism or negative conditioning of old age - I’m referring to the rock-solid, tried and tested things they have learned at great cost. Old age doesn’t necessarily make you wise. Be selective in choosing your old coot!
When young people apply the experience of coots to their ideas, they become unstoppable. Hence mentoring. As long as your “Mentor” actually has experience and a proven track record. You cannot buy experience.
At the end of every Joint Venture Broker Bootcamp I present, whether it is in LA, London, Vancouver, or Johannesburg, I get people who ignore the proven, carefully selected Joint Ventures we offer them, and work instead with hucksters, start-ups, nutters, dead ends and illegal schemes. Usually, it is the lure of the quick buck that gets to them. I have walked through many business minefields in twenty years, and I encourage the Delegates at my events to walk in my footsteps to avoid having the odd limb blown off. Listen to the old coot and keep your legs and enthusiasm, save loads of time and money. And get rich.

I watched the movie, “Forrest Gump,” again this morning. The best part was when the bullies chased Forrest, and he started running away (”Run, Forrest, run!”). As he ran, the leg braces started falling off his legs, freeing him up to run very fast. That changed his life. To me, those leg braces represent negative conditioning. As we force ourselves out of our comfort zones and summon the courage to do what we know is right, as we break through our mental barriers, our limitations fall away just like Forrest’s leg braces, freeing us to reach our full potential.
Yesterday, I presented a full day Joint Venture Broker Bootcamp in Vancouver. Rika and I had lunch with Patrick Giesbrecht, who had attended a previous Bootcamp, and within seven months, he was financially free. He said, “I just got on the bike and started pedalling!” Patrick didn’t spend months examining the JV bike, asking silly questions, and analyzing it. He courageously got on, started pedaling, and the braces fell off. He pedalled all the way the financial freedom.
Here’s what he has to say about it:
“Robin Elliott’s teaching has changed the way I do business. I used to think building a business was risky and expensive. Robin showed me how to build my business using no money and no risk; just some time . Not only did I get to meet some winners by going to the boot camp, Robin has continued to take an interest in my success often taking time to respond to my queries. By adding just 1 of his strategies to my experience, IN MY EXISTING BUSINESS, I make an additional $5000 per month. It’s not completely work free; I still put in about 8 hours per month maintaining it. Not everything I have tried has worked, and a couple have outright failed; but in spite of that within 7 months of attending his boot camp I was financially free. The point is that besides the initial cost of the boot camp there was no risk whatsoever. I highly recommend anyone looking to take the risk out of business and increase your profits attend this next boot camp. I’ll be there!” ~ Patrick Giesbrecht, Abbotsford, BC October, 2007
Let’s be action takers and make all our dreams come true, just like old Forrest. Don’t get paralysis or analysis, don’t tremble and and hesitate - start pedalling. RUN! All the way to success. And don’t stop running. Well done, Patrick!

I recently watched the entire Band of Brothers TV series on DVD. This was an excellent program - ten hours of wonder. It’s the story of Easy Company during the Second World War, and well worth watching. My son-in-law kindly loaned it to me. There was one striking lesson that I would like to share with you.
During one of the battles, one leader told the men to retreat, thereby costing lives, while the other leader told them to advance. In an individual, this is typical approach-avoidance conflict, but in this Band of Brothers, the ambivalence and stress faded into insignificance as people died because of incompatible leadership styles and a man who should never have been in a leadership position. Indecision and vacillation is a reflection of weakness and fear.
Unless there is congruency and compatibility among the in the leaders in any group, dispersion and confusion will result. Splinter groups will develop, the weakest of which will align themselves with the weakest leader, who will in turn sabotage the other leaders. A true leader will be strong, focused, emotionally mature, and willing to confront issues. In this Band of Brothers example, the weak leader was conspicuous by his absence. He avoided responsibility and battled to make decisions; he should never have been placed in a leadership role. And Band of Brothers is based on a true story.
My point is that leaders should be carefully chosen and immediately dismissed if they reveal the fact that they are not leadership material. Having said that, one of the most difficult people to find in business is a good leader, so many people compromise. There is a price to be paid for compromise. Also, people are confused between “Management” and “Leadership”. (I have never heard of a Cult Manager.) When a manager takes on the role of leader, he will always be leading the negative faction, the losers who are weaker than he is, and the dissenters. Look for that pattern.
Watch Band of Brothers - some good lessons to be learned there about true leadership.

The purpose of this article is to encourage true achievers who are tired of dealing with losers.
LIKE YOU, I am sick of excuses. I simply don’t believe them anymore. I am not interested in weak excuses - their kid’s sports activities, the rain, the car broke down… rubbish! People lie to excuse their weakness, laziness, fear, and dishonesty. If there was a million dollar check waiting for them, would them be on time? They think nothing of being a week late in delivery. Winston Churchill said, “The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.”
In a whishy-washy, mediocre world, there is very little competition for the three percent of people who are truly committed to achieving their objectives. Nothing can stop the purpose-driven individual who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal and honor his commitments. Benjamin Disraeli said, “Nothing can resist a human will which will stake even its existence on the extent of its purpose.”
Here’s the reality. If you want to do business with a truly successful person who has definite goals and commitment, you may may hitch a free ride for a time, but sooner or later your true motives and level of commitment will be revealed, at which time you will either have a stronger relationship with that person, or “Atlas will Shrug” and you will find it hard to even get him to return your calls. The truth will out.
Absolute, unconditional commitment, true integrity, and courage can only be found, as I mentioned before, in about three percent of the population. You have to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince. And so a lot of people get so tired of dealing with losers posing as winners that they eventually give in and lower their standards to avoid the frustration. They “dumb down”. Read “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand, and you will understand the cost of compromise. The price of discipline weighs ounces, while the price of regret weighs tons. Don’t compromise and lower your standards. Rather, set yet higher standards. When last did you see Rolex cutting prices? Does Mont Blanc try to compete with ten dollar pens? NO - they keep bring out more expensive models.
Refuse to believe or accept excuses. Here’s a good example: I flew across Canada - an hour from my home to the Vancouver airport, ninety minutes in the airport, a five hour flight next to an obese person, thirty minutes in the airport in Toronto, a thirty minute trip to my hotel, and then I was thirty minutes early for the seminar that night. Then I get the excuse that there was a lot of traffic on the 401 and that’s why some loser didn’t show up for my presentation. Guess what? All future Bootcamps 202 in Toronto have been cancelled. Period. Atlas Shrugged. If you want to hear me speak, fly to where I am speaking. I don’t want to hear about your kids or spouse or any other lies. If you’re going to take a week to respond to me, don’t bother. I will have moved on. You failed the honesty test.
Shrug off (Reference: Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand) the wanna-be’s who don’t do what they promise to do. Replace them with winners. The pretenders will drain you, frustrate you, tire you, and milk you. Ultimately, they will attack you. Successful people will inspire, support, strengthen and encourage you. They will empower and and energize you. You know the difference. As soon as the mask slips and you see a loser, cut bait. Don’t be too kind or understanding. Don’t hesitate. Cut them loose; you can’t afford them. You owe it to your friends not to associate with losers. But don’t lower the bar. Don’t quit on your goals. The good people are out there, my friend. Hang tough.
Be the Mont Blanc, the Rolex, the Rolls Royce. Climb Everest and watch the weak ones fall by the wayside, but don’t quit on your way to the top. Don’t settle for grits when you can eat lobster.

Most people underestimate the ease with which they can create a lucrative Joint Venture that pays them good money every month, using exiting resources. No cost, no risk, little time. They’re so conditioned, so cynical, and so pessimistic that it sounds “too good to be true” - too easy - too simple to be real. But smart people understand that if you’re dealing with successful, intelligent, and ethical people, it’s as easy as asking, “What do you want from me in order to send me a check for a thousand dollars a month?”
I ask people why they don’t set up nine JV’s to create nine instant, additional income streams in their lives. They say they don’t know where to start, so I send them my special, free, JV Report with nine JV’s, all of which I personally use. That’s just too much for most people - now they actually have to make decisions and commitments, and what’s worse, they have to actually WORK! Yet, this is where the rubber meets the road. It’s ACTION that separates the boys from the men, the eagles from the ducks, the players from the spectators, the weak from the strong…
I just sent an e mail to someone for whom I have great respect, and asked him to e mail me his JV offer ASAP. I have absolutely no doubt that I will receive it by tonight, complete with tracking device and all the marketing tools I need. I know he will pay me regularly and promptly. It’s that easy. I have JV Broker Bootcamps coming up in Vancouver this Saturday, Edmonton the next, and Calgary the next. At each one, we will teach people to do the same. A few people will take action , and they will be amazed at how easy it is to say to someone, “Want me to send you some money every month?” and actually be able to deliver.
Here’s the scary truth: the easiest people to work with are not the academics, the “professionals”, or the self-employed, gray headed men who are so threatened, egotistical, and territorial that they’re afraid of their own shadows, but the laborer, the man-in-the-street, the low-level worker, who is humble, committed, prepared to learn, and who will follow instructions. They don’t have their arrogance and self-importance to overcome. They don’t question every detail. The university graduate finds it hard to accept that he wasted years and a lot of his daddy’s money learning stuff that doesn’t even get him a job. The professional won’t accept that his twenty years of experience doesn’t make him enough money to retire.
I talked with a network marketing fellow who has no formal education and a speech impediment, and dresses as though he lives in a cardboard box. No social graces, and a monthly income of $50,000 per month. Verified by me. It cost him $100 to start his network marketing business and eight years of hard work. Before that, he earned minimum wage. I also know a lot of people who will never be able to retire. We have the solution: it’s called Joint Ventures, and it WORKS.
Here[’s the questions you should ask yourself: Do you have a better alternative, and would you like me to start sending you money every month? And if you have a kid who wants to go and waste your money on a useless university degree and lots of beer, would you save a lot by sending him on my $500 Bootcamp and then telling him he is responsible for the results? Give him a copy of Atlas Shrugged and $500 and tell him to move on. It could save you tens of thousands, he won’t end up living in your basement with his pregnant girlfriend and sack of pot, and he might even get rich; he certainly won’t have any excuse not to.

Darren Weeks wrote an outstanding article in his latest Action Newsletter (Fast Track Inner Circle, October 2007) about Team. He tells how he fired a team member and his reasoning behind that. He asks, “Does past performance indicate future performance?” And he talks about loyalty and change. Very mature, direct, and obviously the reason why Darren continues to become more successful. You need a team, but you need the right team members.
When team members no longer enhance the progress of your business, when they sabotage, undermine, steal or lie, they need to get fired to make place for winners. Recently, a loyal Joint Venture partner of mine in Toronto told me that a woman told him that I fired her when I no longer needed her. The real reason was that when she revealed her dishonesty, ineptitude, and addiction to men, she was let go. Do not keep team members simply because they used to produce results.
Time reveals all - who is loyal and honest, and who is pretending to be an Eagle, when in reality they’re a duck. When I was talking about my vision for DollarMakers, someone said it was a “Pollyanna approach”. Loser. When beliefs, goals, dreams and aspirations are not aligned, trouble will ensue. If you are happy with a subsistence existence and I want to make another million dollars, we probably won’t work well together. If you only want to cover your bills and I want to build internationally, you will sabotage my success and the success of the other team members.
Carefully observe three things about your team members to decide if the fit is still there:
1. Whom they associate with and do business with - DO judge them by the company they keep. If they are friends with your enemies, watch out.
2. Listen to what they talk about. If they focus on the negative, the problems, and the downside, they’re losers. Period. You want optimists who expect to win.
3. Check their “Hot Button”. When his or her hot button is in no way connected to your business, you need to cut bait. Their performance will tell you what they love and believe in. What do they do, what do they spend their time on, are they eager to attend meetings with you, or are they hiding away, making excuses, leaving early and playing games? This will all reveal their true loyalty, despite what they tell you and the bribes they offer. Do they respond fast to your calls and e mails or do they answer selectively, thereby revealing their hidden agenda? Talk is cheap, but money buys the whiskey.
As a leader, I am responsible to my entire Membership as well as my Team Members. My JV partners are also, in a way, Team Members. The same applies to them. Make business decisions courageously. Always remember that nobody is irreplaceable, and the pain of discipline far outweighs the pain of regret. Do what is right now, and you will benefit fro years to come.
Together, we do amazing things.

Years ago, my late cousin, whom I loved very much, became a drug addict and wound up in trouble. My Mom went to visit him in jail, and I’ll never forget what he told her: “Ray,” he said, “my friends will always get me back on drugs. They will find me and get me back. Eventually, they will kill me.” And sadly, he eventually died as a result of drugs. His “FRIENDS”. Yes, he was personally responsible, but “friends” exert a lot of influence and pressure.
It has been said that you will be judged by the company you keep. The people with whom you do business is a reflection of whom you really are. Birds of the feather flock together.
When you join any group or club, you are passively subscribing to their code of ethics, values, and beliefs. You are actively aligning yourself and your character with the leadership. Recently, one of our Members joined a “Joint Venture Club” that is run by a person who will sell their mother for a glass of beer. When the Member lost their main client, they were shocked, until they realized that their client was well aware of the person running the club they had just joined.
There is an old saying that goes, “When my enemies become your friends, you become my enemy also.”Joining a group is not a simple, additional networking exercise. Getting involved with people is a statement about yourself. It is a billboard to tell the world what you stand for. More than that, you will be, and cannot avoid being, influenced by the people with whom you choose to associate. The group will always mould the individual member.
Before you choose to join any group or club, no matter how enticing it may seem, ask people in the know about the leadership of that group. I recently learned that someone whom I thought I knew was actively working with two people whom he knows are dishonest and dangerous, in order to please his boss and generate business. People are talking. They are surprised that this sycophant would lower his standards to that level in order to curry favor with his boss, and we are questioning his integrity.
By contrast, joining the right group can put your business on steroids and put you in touch with wonderful people who can radically influence your life for the better.But remember, you only have one reputation - don’t lose it by association. When people ask me which groups to join, other than DollarMakers, I happily refer them to groups that can enhance their lives. Their success comes back to DollarMakers. But when I see them getting involved with the wrong people, I need to protect my Members from their new-found friends.
If you are a Member of the DollarMakers Joint Venture Club, we rely on you to do serious due diligence before joining any new groups. Don’t allow bad influences to contaminate or jeopardize your good relationships. Find a group that will inspire you to even greater success. Check the philosophy and background of the leader of the group you wish to join.

Remember the Paint by Number pictures where anyone could be an “artist”? Later, they had the paper impregnated with the paint, so all you had to do was add water - easy.
Entrepreneurs know that they have to be like McGyver - they have to be “Jackie Chans” - flexible, creative, resilient. They have to be able to adapt to their circumstances, change their tactics, and improvise, if they want to stay in business. They can’t use pre-digested plans. Their lives are a series of trial and error efforts. The worst part is that those errors can, and often do, cost too much to survive. The risk is high, so 87% of new businesses fail in the first five years and another 87% of the remaining 13% fail in the next five years. VERY low success rate. Why? High entry cost, high overhead, big investments, a long time to get into the black (break even / start making a profit), cash-flow problems.
How do we overcome this huge threat to new entrepreneurs? How do we make money, get rich, and survive? Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a paint by number business? There are only two possible solutions. I us them both - together, in fact. There IS A WAY to dramatically lower the risk of failure and heighten your chances to get rich. Why do so many people fail in business? Lack of cash flow. Not enough income to cover expenses, seasonality, trial and error, competition, change, and risk. If you’re tired of lying awake at night from worry, guilty because you never have time for your family, and sick and tired of being sick and tired of working harder and harder for less and less, read on.
The key to success in business is to significantly lower or completely remove the risk and overhead, use proven systems (a good Paint by Number system), leverage that frees up your time, lower the entry level to mere pennies on the dollar, and high profit margins. Remove all barriers to income and all limitations. This can only be accomplished by two types of business: first, becoming a Joint Venture Broker, and second, by joining a good Network Marketing Company (MLM). I do BOTH. After twenty years in business, it’s proven to be the right approach for me. I get to do business all over the world, and I carry no overhead. Everything I earn is 100% profit. I can run my business with one hour a day, if I choose, from anywhere in the world. My multiple streams of residual income have allowed me to retire.
When fifty top MLM producers were interviewed, (each one earned between $80,000 and $400,000 per MONTH), they agreed independently that it took them, on average, eleven years to achieve what they had. And they all agreed that the two main reasons why people failed in MLM were: 1. They didn’t stick to the system (Paint by Number) 2. They quit too easily, too soon.
In Joint Ventures, we have exactly the same situation. JV’s is not rocket science, but people have to learn from our mistakes, and they have to actually WORK as well. As usual, the losers quit easily. The biggest enemy of a JV Broker is his (because men have this problem more than women) EGO and PRIDE. It’s not about you - it’s about net profit. DollarMakers has the right formula and combination for you.
We have a proven system that can allow you to retire within ONE YEAR with your residual income from multiple sources sufficient to allow you to cover you expenses, and pay your bills. The entire recipe is available along with all the training, contacts, support and access you need, regardless of your age, education, circumstances, or experience. All we need is someone who is willing to work hard, get trained, and be ready to learn. We will turn you into a JV Broker who uses MLM as one part of his income sources.
If you are serious about financial freedom and this article sounds good to you, I suggest you join DollarMakers and get our Success Library or attend a Bootcamp ASAP.

On Monday afternoon at 2.30 GMT, Justine Robson and I met with two people who collectively have access to many thousands of people. Not only do they have access to these people, they also have their undivided attention. Money is earned in direct proportion to the amount of value distributed. The greater the amount of people you can deliver value to, the more money you can make. And so we were naturally excited about the potential of that meeting. In addition, the people in question have a solid track record of success.
Why is it that some people see only the obstacles and find reasons why they should fail, while dwelling on scarcity, while others see only opportunity and abundance? Two people join the same business. One fails miserably and complains that he was lied to, hoodwinked, and deceived, that the company is useless, and that the opportunity is a hoax, while another person takes hold of the same opportunity, with the same company, in the same city, and makes tens of thousands?
In London, I heard a story about Jeremy and Leslie. When Jeremy was told he could earn $40,000 per month, he openly scoffed at the opportunity. Why? He had only ever earned $4,000 per month. His conditioning and self-imposed limitations made this amount seem impossible to him. He didn’t believe it was even remotely possible. Leslie, however, had somewhat better self- esteem, so she eagerly hopped on board and was earning the promised amount within a year.
There are millions of people spending trillions of dollars every few minutes, and as a Joint Venture Broker you have an unlimited opportunity to work with anyone, anywhere, with little time, no cost, and no risk. IF you believe it is possible, that is. How many people are the type who actually work, believe in themselves, persevere, and achieve success? What percentage of the population actually sets and achieves their goals and partakes in the abundance out there? About THREE PERCENT. Not because they can’t, but simply because they WON’T.
In order to position yourself for an abundant mindset and lifestyle, it’s not your environment that has to change - YOU have to change. If you have lived a life of scarcity, fear, and pessimism, you have simply attracted what you expected. You sabotaged your own success through guilt, negativity, and bad conditioning. The fault has been yours, and nobody else’s. When you change your thinking and beliefs, everything else will magically change for you. There is no limit to the amount of success you can achieve. There is no shortage - only abundance.
When you realize that you can broker multiple Joint Ventures simultaneously and internationally, leverage existing resources anywhere in the world at any level, and be paid on an ongoing basis, and you actually believe it, life looks a whole lot brighter. But in order to SEE the possibilities, one has to clear the conditioning cobwebs from one’s mind. You have to erase the doubts and fears and open your eyes to the potentials. Self development is not an optional means to success - it is essential. The most successful people I know spend a good deal of time and money on self-improvement products, which they use on a consistent basis. Effective self-development programs open the combination lock on the safe of abundant wealth. The best system I have found, and the most affordable by far, also makes you tons of money.

In Howard Roark’s speech in the Fountainhead, he says, “Nothing is given to man on earth. Everything he needs has to be produced. And here man faces his basic alternative: he can survive in only one of two ways—by the independent work of his own mind or as a parasite fed by the minds of others. The creator originates. The parasite borrows. The creator faces nature alone. The parasite faces nature through an intermediary. The creator’s concern is the conquest of nature. The parasite’s concern is the conquest of men. The creator lives for his work. He needs no other men. His primary goal is within himself. The parasite lives second-hand.”
As a Joint Venture Broker, always remember to partner with producers and creators, not with those who would take advantage or participate in the profits without reciprocating. Those who would reap without sowing are thieves. Team up only with those who are prepared to pay their way, contribute their fair share, and take responsibility for their part. After all, it’s a “JOINT” venture, an alliance, a combined effort. The most dangerous JV partner is the one with an employee mentality, who seeks to do the minimum, cut corners, leave early, and yet feel entitled to more. I remind them that, sooner or later, Atlas will Shrug.
The best way to choose a JV partner is to test them first. “Faithful in little, faithful in much.” Monitor them. See how they handle small things to predict how they will manage larger issues. Look for consistency, honesty, and RESULTS. Parasites will be big on promises but delivery will seldom materialize. They will have a selective memory, specialize in excuses, and play the victim. Weak people will stab you in the back and undermine your efforts while smiling and flirting. They are everyone’s friend and your own worst enemy. They are politically correct and dangerous. When you see this, SHRUG.
Good JV Partners will inspire, enhance, encourage, improve, and contribute. They will be generous and creative. Look after them, for they are hard to find.

Your sense of smell is the most emotional sense you have. Odors take a direct route through the olfactory system in your nose and the front part of your head into the limbic area of your brain, which processes the smell based on your past experiences. With this memory comes instant recall of the associated emotion, whether it be good, like happiness, pleasure, warmth, friendship, love, or success, or bad, like grief, sadness, or pain. Your olfactory cells are the only place in your body where your central nervous system is in direct contact with your external environment. That’s why you respond so quickly to certain aromas.
When I smell jasmine, I am instantly transported back to my mother’s front garden and a very happy time of my life. When I small the cordite at a shooting range, it is an empowering feeling for me, reminding me of strong memories. When I unpack my bags on my return from England, I smell the beautiful, 200 year-old-hotel I stay at in Worthing - a very pleasant emotion. There’s freshly cut grass, roses, the ocean, the smell after a rain shower on a hot day, the amazing smells of nature in beautiful British Columbia where I am privileged to live, pine trees, the smells associated with Christmas and the Halloween, spring, autumn leaves, new cars, and puppies… Then there are the negative emotions I experience when I smell cigarette smoke, cheap perfume, etc.
You can use odors effectively to assist you in maintaining a positive attitude. In fact, some businesses and shopping malls inject aromas into the ventilation system to attain certain results. Realtors have found that baking some biscuits in a home they are showing often work wonders. There is also incense, aromatic oils… But that is not the purpose of this message.
Have you heard the old saying, “Something smells fishy here”? Or “the smell of old money”? This is your intuition, your “gut feeling”. This is where you “smell” fear or dissention, dishonesty, courage, excitement or opportunity. How often have you ignored your initial gut feeling, only to regret it over time? Isn’t timing everything? Doesn’t every choice count? A note of warning: Depending what level you’re currently visiting on Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, your emotions will often override your intuition at the expense of your well-being. And, knowing that we are prone to seek evidence to support our dominant beliefs, men, especially, tend to discount the value of their initial impressions. But when you are in a positive frame of mind, relaxed, and aware of your current emotional state, acting on your intuition can make you a lot more successful.
The best way I have found of centering myself and being balanced in my outlook and mature about my perceptions, is to carefully regulate my emotional state through input: the people with whom I associate, the things I read, and what I listen to, as well as my environment. This allows me to take full advantage of my intuition. My planning needs to be accurate, my timing perfect. By being rested, objective and confident, you will be in a much better position to benefit from your undiluted and unpolluted intuition. To this end, I use the powerful tools afforded me by this remarkable source: http://www.moresu.info/ - to acquire same, go to http://www.dollarmakerswealth.com/
I encourage you to align yourself with your beliefs, values, and intuition. Congruency allows a more intuitive approach to life. When you live according to your deepest beliefs and philosophy, you will be happier and more successful. When you smell a good opportunity, you will have the intestinal fortitude to grab it with both hands. And when you smell deceit, you will be less likely to compromise. Take the the time to stop and smell - the roses and everything else.
