…Without Sacrificing More Valuable Time
Learning how to improve personal finances without sacrificing more of your valuable time requires discernment. The very concept of overtime should prove to anyone that their time is far more valuable than the normal hourly wage or salary they receive. If not, then why would an employer suddenly want to pay you more when you’re obviously beyond the most productive hours in your work day?
Most people want to improve personal finances but the ‘How To’ portion of the equation usually involves losing more time away from family, home, hobbies or other passionate pursuits.
Families have been wrestling with the need for both parents to join the workforce for over 4 decades. Today we find extended families living together, most of whom work, yet rarely see one another.
Inflation Never Helps
The number one problem we face is the impending hyper-inflation that threatens all of the global currencies. Wages just aren’t keeping up with costs and savings continue to dissolve into the funds that pay our way in the world.
A consumer economy that depends upon moving goods also depends upon keeping the cost of those goods low. When the costs rise too quickly those goods usually end up being repackaged in smaller quantities; we still get less value for our money.
The Quick Fix
Most immediate attempts to improve personal finances come at an even greater cost which means investors either become savvy or lose their hard earned money quickly.
The fix once again isn’t just about obtaining more funds, but about improving your lifestyle at the same time. Having 2 or 3 jobs isn’t a lifestyle improvement.
Wealth Creation
Two things must take place for wealth creation to have a chance:
1. You must be educated in all aspects of wealth management and creation
2. You need continuous information from a source more trustworthy and reliable than Wall Street or Government Institutions
Reliance upon Wall Street and Governments has proved disastrous for hard working people and investors.
Trustworthy and reliable sources for serious financial investments are becoming the most valuable assets people can find. Planning for retirement or creating trust funds or any other wealth legacy requires accurate unbiased information.
The Solution
The greatest transfer of wealth in human history has already begun and the beneficiaries are ordinary working class people who’ve been forced into discovery because of their circumstances.
They’ve attached themselves to plans and systems based on solid financial principles. They’ve also attached themselves to one another.
The ‘Need for Greed’ doesn’t exist in this grassroots movement where ideas and methods are being freely shared as opposed to being vaulted in top secret societies.
Some of the practices being put in place include:
• Debt elimination
• Investment strategies
• Asset protection
• Alternative income opportunities
• Increased cash flow
While these sound like good ideas their application isn’t always easy unless you have the education that teaches you how to apply these methods in your situation.
Working Less and Making More
That’s the ideal situation because life is far too short for anyone to spend working 16 hours per day. In fact working constantly not only destroys a lifestyle but makes it almost impossible to research alternative income opportunities because of exhaustion.
The lifestyle of your dreams depends upon knowing exactly how you can improve your personal finances without sacrificing more or your precious time.
Every step made toward this end result is an improvement. The important thing is to realize you need to take the necessary first step and to know exactly where that step will lead you.

You are at the center of your online world and should have complete control over your appearance and the perception people within that world have of you. Always strive to create a world that has value, honesty and integrity at the core because you are that core.
Quickly and Easily
This is what everyone is looking for and fortunately the tools and training to accomplish the creation of a virtual world have made it a painless undertaking.
The speed at which your online world can be created is simply astounding. As you discover what is taking place when you…
1. Start a Blog or Website
2. Create a profile on a social network
3. Spread content around the internet
4. And start linking everything together
… you’re creating a virtual world and you are right in the middle of it.
Parents have been telling their children for generations that the world doesn’t revolve around them but this is different. The world you create is designed to revolve around you.
Whether your world is intended for personal, professional or philanthropic purposes you are the designated epicenter. You are the center of the online business world you create and the more that world reflects you the better your business will be.
What Your World Sees…
In real life the world you live in is unique. No one else has the same exact people in the same exact relationships sharing the same exact experiences as you.
You are a small part of thousands of other people’s worlds all intersecting and sharing some common ground.
So imagine being thrown in the middle of that world with all eyes fixed on you and every ear hanging on your every word; kind of scary.
… Is What You Show Them
The magic of your online world is that for the most part you control what people see, hear and discover about you. The greater the control you have over the media you utilize, the more accurately you can portray yourself to your world.
Honesty is the most important ingredient in any relationship. The people in your online world have limited information to consume about you compared to actually knowing you but they will always recognize sincerity and will always expect integrity.
The clearer your content presents your image or your brand, the more likely the people in your virtual world will have that sense of really knowing you.
Popularity through Value
In addition to the people in your online world recognizing you regardless of where they find you as an honest and sincere person, they expect some type of reward for belonging to your world.
In the same way we expect our friends in life to put themselves out there for us and expect even more from our families, being the center of your own internet universe does command a few expectations.
The most important question to ask is, “How have the people in my internet sphere benefited from their experience today?” This will force you to provide honest value and increase the gravitational pull on anyone who is still orbiting you in cyber space.
It’s never too late to take control of your online world and weave your personality, vision and passion into the world you’ve already created.

“How Strong Is Your Desire To Create The Online World That Defines You And Your Business And To Finish It In Less Than 1 Week?”
Introducing: ‘How To Create Your Online Business World In 6 Days’
In The Beginning…
It’s hard… hard to get passed the suspicions and fears of what to expect, hard to get a good idea of whether this will be something you like or not… and it keeps people from trying.
So I thought to myself, “What if I could put together a guide to take people through the process of creating their online business world quickly and easily?”
These are the basic elements upon which everything else in your online business world will be based. You can have them in place taking only a couple hours a day for 6 days.
How Important Is This?
Every time you push the learning curve back, more people are willing to try. Every time you address fears and concerns more people can relate. You can give a taste of this lifestyle to more people in your niche by allowing them to experience what’s involved first hand with minimal up front expense.
2 hours per day for 6 days… anyone can do that.
My vision is to see more and more people make the journey into online home business with more success. That’s important to me.
Let me know if you’re interested in getting a copy of this book before it goes public which is going to be any day now.
Coolest Find of The Year?
For me it was… ever since first watching someone use photo shop to extract an image… or superimpose an image on a different background simply by erasing an area… like on my header… creating graphics that are stunning and captivating…
Most entrepreneurs outsource most of their graphic arts projects because even when the task is simple they either don’t have the tools or the knowledge to make doing the task themselves cost effective.
Quick and Easy Professional Quality
Enter Picnik.com which allows you to remove or change a background image, creatively edit a picture or design an entire graphic representation.
Working with quality graphics is important for professionals. Either you have photo shop (and know how to use it) or you outsource… unless you want to check out this totally quick and easy alternative…
A word of warning… write down exactly what you want to accomplish because it is easy to get sidetracked with all the bells and whistles this site offers.
Here’s the first tutorial in what will be many more:
More Use For My Bamboo Pen!
I knew this thing would come in handy and when you have to make precise strokes the mouse isn’t accurate enough.
My only regret yesterday is that I didn’t grab a ruler to make straight lines… I’ll be playing with Picnik.com for the rest of the day so that’s on the top of my list.
Crazy Effects
I have a new appreciation for graphic artists and all the cool effects they get to use. As an electronic musician I’ve always loved the cool studio effects and synthesizer equipment that make soundtracks unique.
I’m amazed at how well Picnik.com can touch up a photograph, create a collage, frame a picture or just get weird… this is the stuff that compels thirsty imaginations to grab a long straw, kick back and drink it all in!
I know you’re going to share this because everyone who builds blogs, designs websites, creates greeting cards or just loves to have fun with pictures and images is going to love this site… so… Read It, Feed It & Tweet It then tell me what you think.
Your MLM market is distinct and exclusive but they live among thousands of people who are definitely not who you’re looking for.
Knowing where to find them is a matter of knowing what they look like and what they’re looking for. Attracting your market to you is the easiest way of finding them.
List Building
When you realize that building a database or a list of people is the source for your future in the MLM business you’ve chosen, you’ll want to find ways to build that list.
The internet is undoubtedly the biggest body of water to fish in when it comes to adding names to your lead list. Not all leads have the same value and a big list doesn’t necessarily mean huge profits.
Different lures attract different fish and knowing who you want to reach affects what you’ll use to reach them.
Prescreening
Employers have been using prescreening techniques for years. They realize that by only conducting interviews with qualified applicants they save time and money.
Your MLM business depends upon converting leads into business leaders. It takes less time and resources when you’re dealing only with applicants who have already demonstrated leadership capabilities.
This doesn’t mean that you only have to choose people who have a proven history in leadership, but every person in your training program that isn’t already qualified will require more of your time and expense.
How To Find Them
People with specific interests in the products your MLM offers might make good customers but people interested in how they can leverage your MLM for significant profit or lifestyle enhancement will make great business leaders.
First you want to position yourself ahead of your MLM company or any other affiliate company you want to promote. Fish are attracted to lures but people are attracted to people.
Your demonstration of the exact qualities you’re looking for is the key. When you provide valuable information to people they always want more.
They Want More
Your MLM market is swimming in schools within the ocean of people with one distinct characteristic; they want more.
The people in your market aren’t satisfied with the status quo of working all week for a boss to pay the bills and feed their family.
The good news is that they’re always looking and it is much easier to attract the attention of someone who has their eyes and mind open.

Living an Inspired Life Will Inspire Others…
Proper motivation is necessary to becoming a leader. True leadership respects the source and flow of motivation and maintains balance by ensuring the wells that feed the fountains never run dry.
Motivation is the greatest force behind true leadership and becoming a leader requires knowing where motivation begins and how it flows.
Becoming a leader involves understanding that these fountains contain the water you must drink from; they must never run dry.
The term ‘self made’ is incongruous with what really happens on the road to success. Successful entrepreneurs need the motivational influences outside of themselves in proper balance and alignment.
The 5 Fountains of Motivation
This list is created in order and each fountain fills the next:
1. Spiritual motivation
2. Professional motivation
3. Personal motivation
4. Social motivation
5. Charitable motivation
These fountains spring from the wells that supply the waters of motivation. Leadership flourishes or withers depending upon the depth of each well.
Spiritual Motivation
You may or may not resonate with the most powerful motivational force in existence but people of faith have an advantage when it comes to leadership.
People who learn to worship a perfect leader that cannot be equaled are drawn toward a level of perfection they can never attain. This is motivation at its zenith; the well that never runs dry.
Simply trying to wrap your mind around the infinite will motivate you to get creative. The farther you look outward into space or inward toward subatomic particles your mind is flooded with inspiration and flows freely.
Professional Motivation
When you’re already aiming for a standard, higher than any human standard, professional conduct and integrity will define your business affairs. Your posture as a leader is subjective to and reflects a higher authority.
You begin to see the flow of motivation from a continuous eternal source that is able to fill every other well of motivation.
Your drive to provide the best possible product or service continuously feeds your sense of purpose and meaning.
Personal Motivation
If you find yourself unmotivated or lethargic you should always check the first two wells. Leaders know how to keep their tanks full.
Personal motivation is an extension of a greater purpose and should not be treated as your primary focus. You are inspired and become an inspiration because you are fed and therefore can feed.
We are not meant to be on the top rung. It is a precarious position that is not only self-destructive but affects the wells that actually do lie below us.
Social Motivation
Personal motivation feeds self assurance but if you allow social motivation to fill that tank you subject yourself to peer pressure. Leaders don’t follow the crowd.
Placing the emphasis on what people want above our personal, professional or spiritual integrity is a dangerous proposition. What people want isn’t always what’s best for them and following this cycle leads to costly consequences.
The want for cheaper food leads to poor nutrition, which leads to weakness, illness and disease; society doesn’t always want what it should. A leader is socially motivated based upon the greater good and draws from the previous three wells to meet specific needs.
Charitable Motivation
When you’ve maintained the wells from which motivation springs the end result is abundance of both time and resources. Charity is dependent upon leaders who can optimize schedules and finances.
You can see evidence of improper motivation in landfills strewn with stuff that was purchased and discarded. Shortages in food banks and escalating debt are also signs that motivation is unbalanced.
If you arrive at the point of wanting to give but have nothing to give it is never because of a lack of charitable motivation. Becoming a leader by following this pattern means your capacity to give will always increase.

Leading With Value…
Information product marketing is a full time business for many entrepreneurs but every business owner should include this step in their business game plan. Selling mid range and high end information products and services can generate significant profit. It also builds congruency between your free offers and your primary business.
The 3rd step of the home business game plan elevates information product marketing to a whole new level. Mid and high end products:
1. Can be priced from hundreds to thousands of dollars
2. Can be either one time purchases, ongoing courses or memberships
3. Establish you and your brand as experts within your niche
Entrepreneurs discover quickly how hungry they are for success when they reach this stage. Info product creation at this stage demands a unique selling proposition (USP) and hard work.
Your USP
Your mid range and high end product must still address an urgent problem that is clearly felt by your niche. Defining that problem is the first part of your USP; presenting it is the other.
Presenting your product in a way that makes it impossible to refuse requires a user friendly proposition.
Money Back Guarantee
You enter the process to create an info product because you already know that it works. Guaranteeing your product actually brands you together with your offer.
The guarantee also removes prospective customers from even a hint of buyer’s remorse. State your guarantee emphatically.
Perceived Passion
Entrepreneurs graduate at this stage of the game plan from perceived value to perceived passion. Your information products and services reflect your deep felt convictions and beliefs.
Here the transparency of your business ethic offers unmistakable proof that what you offer is worth far more than you’re asking.
Information products typically reduce extensive education to the nuts and bolts of what must be done to achieve a specific desired result.
Not The Final Step
Successful business owners don’t stop learning. They never stop buying books, attending conferences, forming mastermind groups or consuming info products.
This step is necessary for the professional that creates the product and those that buy the product. It isn’t the final step.
Your Sales Page
The sales page should reflect exactly how your product will solve an urgent problem. It should detail the value of the benefits that can be expected. It should feed off of the urgency of the problem with a passionate appeal to both intellect and imagination.
The vision you’ll be selling is one you’ve already seen. Describe it by telling the story of how this revelation has impacted you and others if you’ve managed to gain social proof.

The 2nd step in your home business game plan requires info product creation for what we call a low cost item. This establishes the entrepreneur as being:
1. Passionate about the needs within their niche
2. Committed to delivering valuable resources
3. Capable in their leadership role (confident enough to charge money)
Information product marketing is everywhere and thanks to the internet the process from idea to first sale is fast and easy.
Your low cost information products and services should be simple and congruent with any free products you’ve created. They should step up and deliver more by offering a specific solution to an urgent problem.
Step 1: Identify An Urgent Problem Within Your Niche
This could be one of the first issues you had to overcome when starting your business. You may have done everything correctly or you may have faced issues that complicated matters.
All of your experiences are valuable to someone who’s never had them especially if they’re about to go through the same trials. Your perspective is unique because it gives others who will come behind you a glimpse into the future.
Step 2: Formulate The Problem/Solution Syntax
This process actually pulls together most of the info product creation details which is why entrepreneurs should always keep wisdom journals.
Once you learn how valuable problems actually are you’ll begin to look at them as opportunities for profit. It goes against common sense to look for challenges and difficulties but reality pays handsomely to the one who prevails.
Everyone resonates with an unquestionable conclusion. If your solution works it can be backed up with a guarantee or promise.
Step 3: Frame The Solution With Benefits
One of the greatest incentives to create info products is also the incentive to buy them… they save time.
If I have a choice between reading an info product that promises to help me setup an account at xyz.com following a step by step process or going to xyz.com and trying to figure it out myself…
Saving time is only one of thousands of possible benefits that information products offer. This is why an understanding of your niche will prove vital because you’ll know exactly what they consider the ‘BEST’ benefits.
Even listing the benefits you’re looking for yourself can begin to frame an information product or service. Wherever you decide to start, you’re only two steps away from creating your first info product.
It’s Not What I Do…
It’s who I am.
When you realize the freedom that comes from a fully automated online home business… work gets really exciting… even thrilling;)
I knew we would be bringing the video camera to the amusement park because having video capability with me at all times is part of this lifestyle. It wasn’t until the long drive there that this idea for a video came to me.
My idea of combining work and pleasure… Trying To Hold A Video Camera While Riding A Roller Coaster!
I won’t say, “Don’t try this at home!” (unless you have a rickety wooden roller coaster) but I will say this, “Wear a wrist strap!”
You Call This Work?
Seriously when you love what you’re doing it’ll never feel like work. Choices have never been more robust for anyone thinking of starting a home business so finding what really excites you should be the first goal.
When I think about the things that just leave us flat out exhausted (like going shopping with 5 girls) it’s usually something that we simply love doing. The exhaustion is typically caused by never saying, Enough!
Not only can’t I stop doing what I love to do… I don’t really want to. When what you do becomes who you are all of life coalesces into a seamless river of fluid excitement and fulfillment.
If this touches you, encourages you, prods you… stay tuned!
