Some Words From The Wise

As a member of Wealth Masters International I get access to some great leaders who give me sound advice to combat the coming depression.

Read on for a sample of the high caliber people who help make up the foundation of our financial house.

------------------------------------------------------------

By Wayne Allyn Root, WMI Senior Economic Advisor, Entrepreneur, Small Business Owner, and 2008 Vice Presidential Nominee

I am an economic refugee from California. I escaped to Nevada with my family, my business and my life a decade ago. It was either run for my life, or die trying. I escaped because of the impossible business climate - the highest income and business taxes in the country, the highest workers comp taxes, out of control government employee unions, the most lawyers in the country. It was (and is) a recipe for economic disaster. California had destroyed my ability to do business.
For the last decade, I’ve been traveling the nation as a best-selling author, business speaker and political leader comparing California to Nevada. At each stop I extol the virtues of Nevada - smaller government, fewer government employees, less power for unions and lawyers, far lower taxes. Quite simply, Nevada gives a small business owner a chance to live, to survive, to prosper. It’s called economic freedom. All small business owners want is for government to get out of the way and stop stealing our money. We can’t build a good business without the seed capital you are stealing. If the business actually works, we can’t expand without that money you are stealing. We can’t create jobs without that money you are stealing. It’s this simple - in Nevada we can build, survive, and prosper. In California we can’t.



Yesterday my gut instincts were validated in a big way. Chief Executive magazine surveyed business leaders across America and they rated Nevada as the 5th best state in America to do business…and California dead last (that’s #50 out of 50 states for those of you who need teleprompters to think). The bottom 5 states (Massachusetts, New Jersey, Michigan, New York and California) are all deep purple states with high taxes, too many government employees (that loot and bankrupt the taxpayers), too many rules and regulations that strangle business, too powerful unions, and too many lawyers.

Yet on a national basis, Obama and his socialist friends in Congress are trying desperately to replicate California, New York and Michigan - where business owners, retirees, and taxpayers are fleeing by the hundreds of thousands. In just the past few weeks Obama and his anti-economic freedom Congress have tried to pass 2 bills that each could wipe out small business, destroy millions of jobs, and cause a mass exodus of business owners and high income earners out of this country (just as millions of taxpayers have escaped from New York, Michigan and California). Taken together they are a message from Obama: WE ARE OUT TO SIEZE YOUR PROPERTY, STEAL YOUR MONEY, AND DESTROY YOUR LIFE IF YOU OWN A SMALL BUSINESS.

The first one was part of the 2000+ page Obamacare bill that passed, so it is now law. Starting in 2012 every business owner in America must send out a 1099 to the I.R.S. for every bill they pay that adds up to $600 or more in the course of a year. This new law will create a blizzard of compliance issues and paperwork, and an I.R.S. Nanny State never before even imagined. The cost of compliance will be billions of dollars - in the middle of a depression. Very few small business owners have the time, money or manpower (teams of accountants, controllers, bookkeepers) to comply with this new law. It is intended to bleed small business dry and suffocate us under a blizzard of paperwork and I.R.S. tax compliance. If it isn’t overturned by a new Congress before January 1, 2012, say goodbye to millions of jobs.

The 2nd disaster should be called “The Destroy Small Business Instantly Act.” It is part of the “jobs bill” that is coming up for a vote this week. Warning: Congress is trying to create jobs again - even though every other time they’ve tried, they’ve failed miserably. When will they learn - government can’t create jobs, it can only waste money and kill jobs. Congress is proposing to hit every small business in America with a deadly new 15% tax on profits. That’s on top of all the stifling taxes already on the books. This new 15% tax will be assessed on every Sub Chapter S company - which defines every small business and entrepreneur in this country. S Corps are primarily sole proprietorships and businesses of less than 5 employees that create most of the jobs and pay most of the taxes in America. They cannot survive with another 15% of their money stolen on a whim of Obama. They need this 15% of profits, in the middle of a depression, to create new jobs, or keep current ones employed.

This bill would instantly put most of the small businesses in America out of business. Since small business creates 75% of all new jobs, think of the implications. This is Obama’s way to take the cap off 15% FICA taxes without anyone noticing. This is fraud. It is theft that would make the mafia blush. It is a disgrace. This dishonors the hardest working people in America - small business owners. Obama should be impeached for trying to destroy mom and pop stores all over America.

The battle lines are drawn - it’s us against them. It’s small business against Obama. It’s small business versus big unions and big government. It’s capitalism and what’s left of the American Dream against socialists, marxists and communists. It’s Obama’s attempt to turn all of America into one big California. It’s time to stop this out of control administration. This bill must be stripped out of the jobs bill before small business is wiped off the face of the earth. Obama must be stopped. Please call your Congressman and Senator today.

Small Business Leads to Keep You Going and Growing

A recent article I wrote. Source: http://ezinearticles.com/?Small-Business-Leads-to-Keep-You-Going-and-Growing&id=4175638

You are reading this today because you have made a conscious effort to develop and maintain your business or perhaps you are not yet in business and you are doing some preliminary research. You want to know what it will take to find new customers.

You have likely looked into Yellow Pages advertising. Incredibly expensive is it not? Perhaps even radio, television or newspaper advertising has crossed your mind. After all, these are viable and time tested methods to explore markets and drive new business right? They used to be. Not anymore.

A search engine on the internet has led you to this article. You found it. I did not go looking for you. I strategically placed this content where I knew only those I cared to reach would find it. I find it odd that business owners with real capital and extensive knowledge in their markets would just poke around in the dark in an attempt to bring in new revenues. They do this because they do not know any better, not yet.

I understand internet marketing. I have made that pretty obvious just by being exactly where I needed to be in order for you to find me. I truly believe that business owners like myself need to take control of our marketing platforms. In your case, no one knows your business better than you do. If you want quality, qualified and ready to buy prospects to talk to every every day you need to fully grasp and understand one rule.

"The right prospect, at the right time and the right place is looking for you." Your absolute best prospect is the one looking for you. If you are putting generic ads out there hoping to come across the right customer that is like throwing your net out to sea. Be a lighthouse instead and bring your prospects to you.

If you have purchased leads before you have probably done so with good intentions. The decision to purchase leads usually comes at a time when a marketer, salesperson or business owner has hit a wall. Tired of trying to convince people to become prospects the natural next step is to find a way to cater to the "searcher".

As a result of this niche naturally developing on its own there is a huge surplus of websites selling leads. Lead purchasers from all walks of life and all lines of industry are buying up leads based on the premise that they are not in the marketing business so they should just let someone else do the prospecting leaving the business owner to close sales in his/her area of expertise.

The problem with purchased small business leads is that they are rarely exclusive to you. They are often sold to more than one small business. You end up paying to talk to your competitors prospects! That is insane. Especially when purchasing leads at a premium.

If you want to get ahead and stay there you need a dynamic approach. There is some setup time and a little financial investment involved in setting up your own private lead generation system online. It is worth so much more than you will ever put into it though because you will own and control this system online.

Your next step towards lowering or completely eliminating your marketing expenses while increasing your enjoyment and revenues at work begins with taking control of your small business lead flow

Small Business Leads Need Not Be Purchased

You have likely looked into Yellow Pages advertising. Incredibly expensive is it not? Perhaps even radio, television or newspaper advertising has crossed your mind. After all, these are viable and time tested methods to explore markets and drive new business right? They used to be. Not anymore.

A search engine on the internet has led you to this article. You found it. I did not go looking for you. I strategically placed this content where I knew only those I cared to reach would find it.

Traditional Business Marketing Is Dead, Here is What You Can Do About It

http://budurl.com/JMVideo

Anyone in business knows that they need revenue to keep the doors open. We all know that marketing is key. Sales people are the highest paid professionals in the world, bar none.

Ever wonder why so many business owners don't have a marketing system in place? Why they don't have anything more than a nice website with no visitors, if they even have a website in the first place?

Business as usual means keeping your focus on your specialty. A recent study in the book “YES! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways To Be Persuasive” by Robert Cialdini showed that most people when faced with many choices, don't make a choice at all. This translates into businesses with no marketing in place. Why? Too many options creates fear of making a bad move. Signing the wrong contract or spending too much.

Internet marketing is taking the place of traditional marketing like yellow pages, radio, TV and print. There are just too many ways to skip over the ads when using this kind of media. Internet marketing today is more about attraction marketing. Why go looking for clients when you can have them coming to you?

I know you've probably heard all this before but keep in mind, there are many ways to attract a loyal client base. The main focus however is to ensure you can communicate with them more than once. Ahhhhh, the power of the list.

Skepticism - An Entrepreneurs Poison

Skepticism is not a bad thing. In fact every leader I know in the internet marketing industry is a very seasoned skeptic. There is a fine line to be drawn between being a skeptic or being completely closed-minded.

I exercise caution when I am looking into external sources of information, training, mentoring and marketing. I do this because at first glance just about anything positioned with good timing can look appealing or even needed.

Knowing this ahead of time and keeping yourself open to new ideas is necessary if you plan to be well self-educated and well connected in your industry of choice. Don't be afraid to be a skeptic. You need to be in this economy and especially if you are in the saturated world of online marketing.

It's easy to be skeptical of those who are self proclaimed skeptics as well. For example, when offering up information on my business opportunity and someone says they are skeptic they often end up closed-minded. They are the type of person who will see "business opportunity" and without much or any due diligence tell me I'm "in a scam" and they will have nothing to do with it. They call themselves skeptics. No, they are close minded.

By definition a skeptic is a "a person who questions the validity or authenticity of something purporting to be factual." - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/skeptic

Those who are open minded while skeptic are the few who will see true opportunity hidden behind hard work and a long term commitment.

Always keep your guard up but don't be afraid to explore the world for what it is, full of opportunity.

A Cookie Cutter World of Money and Commerce

Today I hope to make you think.
Think about some stuff that is important
to you and your family..

And offer you a solution to the consequences
of not being informed.

It all starts with business.

The emphasis of commerce in the world
for the most part is competition and scarcity.

We have been taught that competition is
healthy and maybe in a game it might be,
but in life it can be very destructive.

Because when there is competition in
commerce or industry there is usually
a winner and a loser and the essence
of the competition is money or profit.

In the work force it's the same thing.

We are taught to compete not for the
betterment of mankind but to outperform
our co-worker, maybe for a raise or
promotion.

There's a winner and a loser.

And the big winner is your boss
or owner of the company because you as
the employee are competing against a fellow
worker for the betterment of your own personal or
family gain your employer wins no matter what.

That is "business."

The way things are going, technology
and robots are replacing humans and
displacing them, putting us out of work
rather than saying.."go home early."

The reason is is that if big business can
replace you they can make more profit.

So profits become more important than
people.

There is something fundamentally wrong with
that I think...Don't you agree?

Scarcity from a business point of view is
many times artificially created to jack up
prices for profits.

So why are we willing to accept less and not more?

Why do we assume that in life less abundance, love,
understanding, forgiveness, laughter or wealth is acceptable?

Why are we pre-programmed to "live within our means?"

What is within your means anyway?

"Within your means" is nothing more than what
you have personally defined that to be..

Who said you can't have more?

Who said you have to live on less or
with less?

Who said you can't have fun every day?

Why do we place limits on ourselves and
even deny ourselves out of guilt?

We weren't born with guilt.

We weren't born poor.

We weren't born with limits..

But we were born with a brain.

And the things that we think
about daily is how we get programmed
to live our daily life.

The compounding of the framework of society lends itself
to the worker bee. The drone. The laborer.

The haves and the have not's.
You got a brain. When you were born
it was pretty much a blank slate.

Then your family your friends the people
around you help model how you think
about EVERYTHING..

When we were born we weren't born with
a negative thought, disdain, racism, hate,
negative thoughts, anxiety, fear, denial,
mistrust.

We were born neutral..

So what does this all mean?

Well it means that how you are programmed
to act, react, think is within your total control
and if you're not happy with how you feel
or think you can change it in a mili-second
because it's your brain!

Problem is we get so wrapped up in life
that our thoughts become self-serving
and turn into habits. And because we get
bombarded by all the negativity in the world
we can get sucked into the negative vacuum
and start to think from more of a scarcity
angle than abundance.

When you put your head on the pillow at
night your thoughts marinate in your
sub-conscious mind.

Your subconscious mind takes everything for fact.

So what you feed it before you go to sleep, when you wake
up and what you think about during the day
is what your subconscious mind will work on for
you to make a reality.

One of the benefits of working in the
direct sales industry is that the philosophy
is totally different than what we are used to.

It is based on helping others succeed.

Helping others achieve with a universal
mindset of we all get better together.

The model is not set-up for winners and
losers. It's set up for all winners!

The mindset is totally different than
boss-employee. It's we all get better
if we all get better and you want the next
guy to do even do even BETTER than you.

It's just a better model and of course since it's
your own business you have the opportunity
to call the shots and create a residual income
that can pay you even when you're not working.

So is that a better possibility than what you
have now?

Now I'm going to introduce you to concepts
that you probably never heard about or
looked into in depth. What you will see
is very disturbing especially if it's
the first time you have been exposed to it.
But it will give you another way to look at things
and possibly give you the jolt you need to
start taking things into your own hands, rather
that letting others pull your strings.

The link below is to a full length movie that
I highly suggest you watch immediately.

Watch here and be prepared for some shock therapy!

http://budurl.com/zgeist

Then if things make sense for you and you
want to start on a road to freedom and
protecting yourself get your application kit here..

http://budurl.com/submitapplication

It's the best solution I know of for what's going
on now and what's going to happen. After you get
your application kit processed you will learn more
about how & what you can do to dramatically
change things in your life. It won't be totally
apparent at first blush but as you go deeper
you will come to understand what we are doing.

Enjoy the day.

American Health Care

The problem I have with "President" Obama is this: There is no money to spend on Health Care Reform. It is now certain that America and all countries dependent on it's currency's strength are doomed.

BEFORE Health Care reform each American, newborn to near dead, owed 200 000 USD in national debt. What will the numbers be now?

Health Care reform will not cost what Obama says its will. According to history it will cost more than 10 times that. Not to mention the hyperinflation that comes along with this decision to "print more fake money"

Sorry children, you'll have to drop some of your current luxuries when you are in your teens. Nothing big, I mean, who eats EVERY day in America anyway?
