“A Real Crystal Ball?”
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.

Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
Let’s Talk About Your Retirement
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.

No commentsJob Recidivism
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.

No commentsDollars like Disneyland
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
