Look The Other Way?
We love to deny uncomfortable facts. Churchill confronted Chamberlain’s weakness and warned of coming problems. Clinton allowed Bin Laden to escape. He has never been held accountable for the consequences. Jim Rohn said, “Discipline weighs ounces, but regret weighs tons.” Churchill saw the future. He warned about communism, “The machinery of propaganda may pack their minds with falsehood and deny them truth for many generations of time, but the soul of man thus held in trance, or frozen in a long night, can be awakened by a spark coming from God knows where, and in a moment the whole structure of lies and oppression is on trial for its life.” He foresaw and forewarned.
But most people are not Churchill. They wait for the lawyer’s letter, the bills, the illness, the divorce order, before taking action. They stick their heads in the sand. They look the other way. And when it’s too late, they start blaming all and sundry for the predicament they themselves created through their neglect, lies, slothfulness, and bad choices. Their self pity when the chickens come home to roost is disgusting to behold. Churchill had the courage to deal with reality, the self-esteem to go to war, the vision to hold on until victory, and the intelligence to know that this was the only route to freedom.
Compromise, mediocrity, cowardice, and denial lead to the imprisonment of the mind and the quiet desperation and passive aggression so evident in today’s western society which each day edges closer to socialism and collectivism. The tolerance, acceptance, and even encouragement of drug addicts, criminals, and army deserters has a consequence, as can be seen in the resulting society. What we sow, we will surely reap. It’s just a matter of time. Countries can be overthrown by immigration when their leaders are rotten, gutless mercenaries; war is unnecessary. Every choice and action has a consequence. The fact that you don’t immediately see it does not mean it isn’t happening.
Look at your life. Are there a few Hitlers on the horizon? Do you have a few Bin Laden friends? Is your neighbor an army deserter? Do you have a Judas on your team? Are you so weak and politically correct that you have become a socialist without even knowing it? If you keep on the way you’re going right now, what does your future look like? You can break the mirror, shoot the messenger, delete this ezine, close my Blog, curse me for making you face the oncoming train, or resolve to make some adjustments, change course, and confront a few issues. What will your life look like in five years if you do? What will it look like if you don’t? Frankly, I don’t care what choices you make. You have been warned, so my job is done.
Here’s the good part: We vastly underestimate what we can accomplish when we face reality and make courageous choices. If people knew what a brilliant future they could create over time without massive changes, they would make better choices than a society addicted to comfort, instant gratification, laziness, compromise, and the mind numbing opiates of mysticism and political rhetoric. Your future does not have to be worse than your past. You can escape the downward spiral which you may realize you are on. You can be strong, free, successful, happy, healthier, and wealthy if you’re prepared to pay the price now.
But you won’t get the recipe for success from those who have a vested interest in your desperation, slavery, exhaustion, and dependency, like the banks, politicians, employers and witchdoctors; your recipe from freedom can only come from those who are genuinely free. Only a strong swimmer with a conscience can help a drowning person.

No commentsAtlas Can Shrug
Atlas had waged and lost a ten-year war against the gods of Mount Olympus. As punishment, the gods condemned Atlas to support the earth and the heavens on his back for eternity. He had grown weary of the task and was only too glad when Hercules offered to take over his burden. In turn, Hercules said he needed help to complete his eleventh labor, fetching the Golden Apples, which were closely guarded by nymphs called the Hesperides. Prometheus had told Hercules that Atlas could easily complete this labor as he was the nymphs’ father and knew their secrets. When Atlas returned with the apples, Hercules tricked him into resuming the burden of bearing the earth and the heavens on his back for eternity. This statue depicts that never-ending punishment.
Ayn Rand wrote a wonderful book entitled “Atlas Shrugged”. You do not have to carry and support leeches, parasites, or scavengers. You should be rewarded for the value you create. Don’t work for nothing. You are entitled to choose whom you do business with and associate with. When people take advantage of you, misuse or abuse you, or steal from you, you have the OBLIGATION to shrug them off. Don’t be tricked, as Atlas was, into bearing an unfair burden. If you want to ride the horse, you have to feed it. People who reap have to sow – those who reap without sowing are thieves and they should be shrugged off your back.
When you’re not carrying unnecessary weight around, you can move fast. You’ll find yourself happier and healthier, richer and wealthier. And because you’re happier, you’ll attract more winners into your life and less whiners. Rid yourself of the fat. You will become a lean money machine, and you’ll have the time and clarity required to find creative solutions and the means to creating more wealth and value. A successful entrepreneur should continually and regularly evaluate his or her relationships and shrug the disloyal detractors and saboteurs off. People are genuinely either for you or against you – never doubt that.

No commentsTo Get Free, You Need New Information
A lot of information that people get keeps them poor, hungry and desperate – the only PhD they’ll ever get. This is the herd – the sheeple – doing what everyone does because they have the wrong information. Read this excerpt from Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead:
“Roark pointed to the picture of the Parthenon. ‘Shall I tell you what’s rotten about it? Look! The famous flutings in the famous columns. What are they there for? To hide the joints in wood, when columns were made of wood. Only they aren’t – they’re marble. The triglets – what are they? Wood. Wooden beams – the way they were laid when people began to build wooden shacks. Your Greeks took marble and they made copies of their wooden structures out of it, because others had done it that way. Then your maters of the Renaissance cam along and made copies in plaster of copies in marble of copies in wood. Now here we are, making copies in steel and concrete of copies in plaster of copies in marble of copies in wood. Why? I want to be an architect, not an archaeologist.’”
Many politicians, mystics, academics, bureaucrats, and employers have a vested interest in feeding the herd with incorrect information that is guaranteed to keep them poor, dependant, blindfolded, hobbled, and restricted. When sheeple have no time or money, they don’t have time to think, evaluate, or question. They’re working too hard to survive to even consider the fact that they could thrive. Lots of meetings, long commutes, high taxes, lots of red tape, and myths keep the herd from breaking free of their prisons of fear and scarcity. They are force fed repackaged lies through confidence tricksters in pulpits, on CNN, in the universities and colleges and in newspapers; people whom they respect and look up to. The socialists, collectivists, witchdoctors, multiculturalists, and environmentalists don’t want you to know what will set you free from their control.
When it comes to money and business, DollarMakers is all about showing people how to make dollars with no cost or risk, and regardless of whether or not they have a business, or their background, age or circumstances. That’s the information we share. How to retire in one year. How to avoid risk. How to get rich. How to be financially free and live a congruent life. How to escape the bondage of debt and a job. We share the same information that we used to achieve retirement twice. Our mission is to give people back their power of choice, their dignity and self-respect, their time, their families and their minds.
Only the free can set others free, and we are free. We are not obligated to share this information – we do it for our own sakes. If you wish to be free, join us.

No commentsUnderstanding Leverage
I wanted to share a portion of a private e mail sent but our DollarMakers Area Coordinator for British Columbia, Canada, with you, regarding the use of leverage in business. Here it is:
Hi Blair, just for some basic info visit www.halfapercentaday.com Register on the right hand side of the page. I will answer any questions after that.
Just to whet your appetite, though; this is short term on-line stock trading. We have put together a JV with the head trainer of a fairly well known trading/educational software company and packaged it like you’re watching over his shoulder and can trade like he does. His track record speaks for itself (you’ll hear more about that later) I became his client; helped him package this so it was unique and has way more value than anything out there that we know of. After trading his stock picks, first on paper then real money, I am seeing with my own eyes the amazing results from the strategy that he has packaged and offers to his subscribers.
He doesn’t sell software; there are no expensive seminars to attend; you just get the analyzed stock picks everyday there is trading for a monthly fee and you can cancel with 30 days notice if it is not a fit for your lifestyle.
I spend 15 to 30 minutes a day doing this and the results are fantastic. My money is usually back off the table within 30 minutes of the market opening. To give you an example of what the results are; if you had traded the picks as they were available in January (it was a terrible month in the markets as you probably know and we didn’t have many chances to trade) you would have made 3% on your portfolio while others were losing 3-7%. If you had been trading with a margin account like I do you could have made up to 10% in the month of January. (I made 7%)
Check it out and get back to me if your interest is sparked.

“Sorry, Sir, we’re all out!”
We were walking down Oxford Street in London yesterday, looking at all the stores, and I thought, what DON’T they sell? Every wonderful product you can think of is available for sale. If I was a store, there would be some things I didn’t sell. I would say, “Sorry, we’re all out”. What wouldn’t I sell, and what shouldn’t you sell?
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of “I ‘ll try”.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of excuses.
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of “I’ll do my best”.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of “It wasn’t my fault”.
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of “I don’t have time”.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of “I can’t help it”.
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of “I don’t know what to do”.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of “It’s the economy / competition / my parents’ fault”.
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of “IF”.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of “I HOPE”.
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of “Maybe / Perhaps / I GUESS”.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of “I THINK / More or less”.
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of “The people in this town don’t get it”.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of blaming, complaining, whining, and weak excuses.
Sorry, sir, we’re all out of showing up late, and not returning calls and e mails punctually.
Sorry, Ma’am, we’re all out of scarcity thinking.
You see, sir/madam, we don’t stock junk and we only work with winners who think big, demand excellence, and take responsibility and make things happen. Our best sales clerk is Mr. Yoda, who taught me that “there is no TRY, only do or do not.”
