Fire Your Boss Today And Embrace Freedom

Are you thinking of leaving the daily grind of your 9 to 5 job? Are you ready to be your own boss? This is the time to do it because according to the Small Business Administration, this is where a large portion of the jobs from the last 10 years has generated from; small business.
Many of these self-starters have started to think for themselves and wonder “why should I put my dependence on a company that doesn’t even recognize me by more than a number?” I can become my own boss and think and do for myself. I can become responsible for my own income. I can do this.
What are the real cons of 9 to 5 employment?
1. You’re a slave to the clock. You arrive in the morning, say hello to your coworkers, then get your coffee mixed with some milk substitute that closely resembles chalk. You walk back to your cubicle, passing your boss on the way, who lets you know that it’s 9:01, and you’re late.
2. Your boss only sees what his regular procedure will gain for him. He doesn’t want to rock the boat in any way, even if you come up with an awesome plan for the company.
3. You are at someone else’s beck and call when you serve the 9 to 5 master. You must be here or be there when someone else deems it necessary on the job, no matter if it is not directly related to your job.
4. You’re increasingly claustrophobic. Confined to a tiny gray cubicle with industrial gray and orange-flecked carpet, you’re beginning to feel like a trapped lab rat.
5. There’s no guarantee for tomorrow. Gone are the days where great employees were treasured. Even the best performers can find themselves on the receiving end of a layoff.
6. Gone are the days of bonuses and pay increases for the hard-working, committed employee. Even if you were to do something fabulous to increase profits for your company, you will most likely never see the fruits of your labor.
7. When you are on the clock, you belong to someone else. They own you. There is always someone that knows what you are doing and if it isn’t in the best interest of the company, you could lose your job over it.
8. You cannot break the work mold no matter how good your ideas are for a new way of doing something. If it goes against the grain, it probably goes against the company.
9. A personal life is unheard of when it conflicts with the hours of your 9 to 5 grind. You cannot skip the after hours, mandatory meeting just to have dinner with your family, even if it was just announced 5 minutes earlier.
10. Every day is just like the one before it. Your work life is monotonous, doing the same things day in and day out.
Isn’t it time you gave up all of the above rituals to take charge of your own time and freedom? You can be the master of your own destiny and begin to be your own boss by starting your own business. You have so many options. Get out there and fire the old boss and become the new one.
With rampant corporate downsizing, forward thinking entrepreneurs are going after more wealth by capitalizing on the idea to fire your boss instead of working a job that will get you nowhere. This author encourages you to experience the wealth movement to open up your mind to building YOUR future – not your boss’s.
Check Out Why We Want You To Be Rich For Your Future

For many people, financial independence now seems farther away than ever. Deep recessions, the collapse of the housing market, and high unemployment have made many people question whether they can ever become rich. However, two of the most successful businessmen in American culture, Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, have collaborated on a new book.
Robert Kiyosaki is highly qualified to write a book on financial motivation to succeed based on the success of his series of books called “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. Donald Trump is the well known real estate magnate and media tycoon and businessman who is well known throughout the world because of his unparalleled success in the real estate business and in building profitable ventures along with an impressive asset portfolio.
Mr. Kiyosaki is an investor and educator who has transformed the lives of millions of people through his Rich Dad Poor Dad series. In the book, he eschews traditional advice about how to become rich in favor of some new principles. Growing up in Hawaii, Mr. Kiyosaki received helpful advice from both of his fathers. This advice taught him the importance of ownership, financial intelligence, and utilizing corporate structures for personal financial gain. According to Mr. Kiyosaki, financial independence is reached when monthly income is more than monthly debt. His two dads imparted a great deal of financial wisdom into Mr. Kiyosaki and he in turn has shared that knowledge with millions of his readers.
Donald Trump’s storied rise in the New York real estate market of the 1970s-1980s is well known. Hailing from a working class background and humble roots, Mr. Trump initially had a difficult time in school. After graduating from the Wharton Business School, Mr. Trump went to work forging his empire. He initially worked for his father, turning around several decrepit properties and selling them for huge profits. Although he struggled for a few years during the economic downturn of the late 1980s, Mr. Trump has become more successful than ever by branding himself and acquiring a diverse set of assets along with an impressive real estate portfolio.
Robert Kiyosaki’s philosophy in “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, is basically centered on the self motivated person who knows how to value himself and his position in life. Learning to accept risk without losing sight of the practical aspects of monthly expenses is one lesson that Mr. Kiyosaki claims he learned from his “rich” dad.
In addition to unleashing the human spirit, both men practice and teach the notion of courage. There is a path that everybody is supposed to follow. However, in order to become financially independent, you cannot be afraid to deviate from that path and try something new. Everyone has the ability to choose financial freedom, but too few actually have the courage to make it happen.
Another important tenet from Rich Dad Poor Dad, is the idea that stagnancy equals defeat. Mr. Kiyosaki and Mr. Trump were never satisfied with the status quo. If they never changed their thought processes or the way they conducted business, their results would always be the same. You must not be afraid of change. Change is essential for growth.
A final, powerful message of the book is that if they both could become the financial independent men that we all know them to be, starting out with histories like theirs and no distinct advantages over anyone else, then anybody can become financially independent.

Importance Of Robert Kiyosaki Predictions For The Future
Posted by Brandon Boshnack in MLM Thursday, 22 April 2010 20:43 No Comments
A book that was in the top 5 positions on the New York Times Bestseller list for 290 straight weeks, with 13 years of success and 28 million copies sold worldwide rarely needs any introduction and Robert Kiyosaki and his motivational book series “Rich Dad Poor Dad” can certainly attest to that. Why not consider advice on obtaining success from a man who was once named on a “30 Entrepreneurs We Most Admire” list?
In his groundbreaking book, Kiyosaki touches upon the two most influential persons in his life. They are two men with two totally different attitudes regarding all aspects of finance and success. He describes the positive outlook of one father, and the negative outlook of the other. His “poor” dad had the attitude that “You can’t afford to do this,” and sadly, manifested a life of poverty. The other, his “rich” dad rose to wealth by teaching the proper mindset for success and instilling in him the mantra, “Let’s see how we can make this a possibility for you.”
Kiyosaki shares his life-lessons of living and learning from both men. His examples are easy to follow if you are ready to open your mind to the unlimited potential that is within us all. You can benefit from the vast experience of Kiyosaki as he urges you to believe in yourself, instead of scrimping and saving, living from paycheck to paycheck, going nowhere fast. He explores these teachings and expands on his wisdom throughout his bestselling “Rich Dad Poor Dad” books, seminars, DVD’s and games.
Kiyosaki believes that making the decision to become a business owner or investor greatly increases the likelihood of financial freedom. Robert’s “rich” dad always told him to make his money work for him, instead of working so hard for his money. Altering our perceptions of life and money opens one up to alternative options, exercising the brain and making anything possible.
Kiyosaki is not a proponent of get-rich-quick scheme, and through trial and error and re-creating the wheel multiple times, he knows that success in business requires focused effort and commitment. Success does not happen overnight, but it can happen quickly if you have a plan and stay committed to your vision.
By reinvesting in yourself rather than saving every penny you make, you increase your income potential and develop a more stable, secure future. Starting your own business lets you create and build towards your future, rather than having a boss or company determine your potential, income and security. Direct sales and network marketing companies have traditionally low start-up costs with unlimited potential for significant profits.
Who needs to search high and low for a good mentor or struggle recreating the wheel when Kiyosaki’s teachings and insights are right in front of us, accessible to all? Kiyosaki encourages people to tap into their entrepreneurial spirit and to consider direct sales and network marketing opportunities in order to get started in a business with low start-up costs and huge potential for profits. Through these companies, you’ll learn valuable sales and business skills and gain the proper training and support to ultimately create financial freedom. You’re also building a valuable business asset that you can pass on to your children for generations to come.
Investing in yourself through making the decision to work for yourself is one of the most valuable lessons you can learn. Why not invest in your future, rather than your boss or company’s future? When you begin building towards your own future, you will feel a new sense of confidence, inspiration, and you may even stop daydreaming and start really living.

Are You One Of The 10% Who Can Succeed In Network Marketing?
Posted by Neil Jenkins in MLM Saturday, 13 March 2010 13:49 No Comments
For all the hype and hoorah, most MLMers make less than they spend on their businesss. and most of those who survive into Year Two make less than $500 per month.
That isn’t enough money to attract high-quality people. I doubt it’s enough to interest you, either.
you probably didn’t sign up to make $500 per month. More likely, you were attracted by the possibility of becoming financially independent. So what can you do to enhance your chances?
Unless you’re fortunate enough to have a tech-savvy sponsor, you’re probably not going to get much help finding a way to build your business on the internet. It’s not your sponsor’s fault though. (Keep in mind that if he or she is “average”, they have no idea how to build a network!)
Even though the internet has been used to sell everything from houses to horses, it has only recently become a viable tool for MLMers. Through to hard work and insights of a small group or really smart people, it is slowly becoming a reality. But the vast majority of network builders get into an MLM for the wrong reason–they used a product that helped them lose weight or save money, and now they want to tell other people about it.
You sponsor might be under the impression that the way to success in your business is to “sell a lot of product”. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Don’t misunderstand me: you NEED to represent a good product and a reputable company. Otherwise you’re going to spend a lot of time explaining why your product really doesn’t work very well.
Most networkers are initially attracted to an MLM opportunity because of the superior quality of a product. This is an important factor in choosing a company to represent, but it’s not the MOST important factor. Of course, you want to share a product you like and can stand behind. If you’re just selling something for the money, your prospects will sniff you out and know you’re insincere and they won’t listen to you the next time you have something you want to tell them about.
In fact, I’ll say something here that’s almost heresy: “Your Product Is Not Important To Your Success!” Well, it’s important, but it’s not the be-all and end-all of your business.
If you’re getting into MLM as a path to independence, there are two things you can offer your prospect that are more important than which product you offer. 1) The vision of residual income and financial independence, and 2) the belief in YOU, that you’ll help them get there. And the only way you can do that is to provide them with a turn key system that is so simple THEY CANNOT FAIL.
The reason most people fail in MLM is that once they’ve signed up for their primary opportunity, they have no idea what to do. It’s really weird that in the Internet era, the same old garbage advice is handed down from sponsor to recruit: “make a list of 100 people and start calling them.”
OMG! Who in their right mind wants to call 100 people who don’t want to hear about a business opportunity? (Actually, I know someone who LOVES to do that. Thank God for Caller ID. I can avoid his calls and not hurt his feelings! He’s not in his right mind.)
The Net is the ideal tool for building a networking business. But it seems out of reach of most people because it seems like you need to be a computer wiz to create a user-friendly system. Unless you’re a high-end programmer, that’s almost impossible.
(If you’re a computer pro and you also have marketing skills I hope you WILL think about creating an automated downline building system. Let me know because there’s a huge market for a prospecting/recruiting system that non-techie types can use, and I’ll be the first!)
Part One of the best system I’ve found is Magnetic Sponsoring by Mike Dillard. Mike is a very insightful guy. He realized years ago that the most important part of being a success in MLM is the part between your ears. what he teaches in Magnetic Sponsoring is how to acquire the success mindset that will keep you from sabotaging your MLM success.
The second part is called MLM Lead System Pro, which is a turn key system for building an online recruiting “machine” that’s extremely effective and easy-to-implement.
One of the most common “blind spots” for networkers is that we can’t see the gaps in our own knowledge. We want to charge ahead and change the world (and our financial destinies) but we do so unprepared. The tortoises who prepare themselves well always outperform the impulsive hares who leap into action without knowing what they’re doing. These two tools signal the provide the competitive edge that can put any dedicated MLMer in the most-successful 5% of any company.
After struggling to build his MLM for many years, John Zehr discovered a way to attract new business partners almost magically. He’s offering free training videos that explain the “Magnetic Sponsoring” techniques at his web site, free of charge.
