A lot of the title of this article depends directly on how much you currently make. If you are like most people, you are making a salary or married to a business and struggling. There is a very small percentage of people who actually make above 6 figures. Some of these people work jobs and still make that much while others are business owners. The people I am targeting with this article are people who make less than $200k and more than $30k. I doesn’t matter what you do for a living. You can at least quadruple your income with this business opportunity. I say that price range because I was making about $40k a year when I found this opportunity. If I can do it, anyone can.

Before I start off, this business opportunity is home based, part-time, and very lucrative with a potential to generate over a million in any given year. So to say that you have the potential to quadruple your income is a very accurate description. Now, this is not a get rich quick game. This is a business that requires work and effort on your part. Even though it is part time and home based, it must be worked. Treat a business like a hobby and you will get results every once in a while. Treat it like a business and you will get results all the time. I work an average of 2-3 hours a day, four days a week. This is very part time.

You would be working a business in the Personal Development industry which is a multi-billion dollar industry. Up until this opportunity was founded, the big names in Personal Development were the sole recipients of the billions of dollars made in this industry. Now, you have the business model that will aid you in being part of this great industry. This is a simple 3-step business that virtually anyone can do. The simple is this: Place ads, talk to those who respond to those ads, get them the information they require to make a decision and then collect that decision. It is so simple.

So, what is the gold dust, or the secret to success in this business? The secret to success is consistency! The only way to fail in business is to quit. To succeed in business is to persist without exception. That is the gold dust. There are no secrets to success. The most difficult part about this is the decision to get started.

So don’t make 2007 the same as 2008. Increase your income, increase your understanding of your full potential, and put that to use with this business opportunity and quadruple your income.

Advertising is the key element in a successful business opportunity. If you don’t have interested people to talk to or interested people looking at your product or service, then you are dead in the water. Now, I am involved in a business that is not dependent on the local economy, but it is still a great source for leads. I live in a population  approximately 60-80,000 people. Not a huge place but decent sized. If you are in a smaller community, less than 5,000 people, you may want to focus on the next biggest town close to you.

First things first, when advertising a business opportunity, the best thing you could ever do is drive a nice car. People want to see how well you are doing, and a nice car means that you are doing very well. Now, I’m not talking about driving a brand new Nissan Sentra.  I am speaking of a nice car. We drive around an H2. Now that always turns heads. Oh, and guess what? We have our website right across the top of the back window, CREATEFINANCIALWEALTH.COM. That Hummer has paid for itself over and over again. Another way to put ads on your car is on the license plate cover, magnets on the doors or bumpers, spare tire covers, or bumper stickers. I wouldn’t recommend putting bumper stickers on any car regardless of it’s shape, but the option is out there.

Fliers, business cards, pens, post cards, toothpicks holders, business card trays, and fake $100 dollar drop cards are all great things to leave at restaurants and businesses that you may visit during the day. I have had people hang on to one of my cards for several months, call me back and get started in my business. Now, the quality of the card has a direct correlation as to whether or not someone will want to hang onto it. It has to be nice folks. Put a high quality, professional grade picture of yourself on it. Look at a Realtors card to get a good idea of what I am talking about. Make it glossy and nice. Better yet, put an opportunity message on the back of it with an ad about your product or opportunity.

Billboards are a great way to market your business. People see those. Location is the main thing to consider and a good advertisement that catches the eye and is either funny or catchy, or both. It has to stick in someones mind, they are driving and may not be able to write it down. Another form of roadside signs is called a Bandit sign. This is a cardboard sign, stuck into the ground on a busy intersection, with an ad on it. These signs can either be handwritten or professionally printed. Study’s have actually shown that the yellow signs that are handwritten have had the best results. You can visit www.banditsigns.com for some examples.

Keep a stack of business cards, fliers, post cards, sticky notes with ads on them, in your car so that when you make the usual trip to the store you can place a few of these on some of the nicer cars as you walk into the store. Now, be smart here. You don’t want to flier every car. You have a product or opportunity that involves making money. Every bit of money you will ever make is currently in the hands of someone else. People with money drive nice cars and have the means to invest, purchase, or spend money in some manner that would benefit them and you. Pick the nice cars. Put the sticky notes onto the side mirror, not the windshield. It works better. A great place to get these kinds of products would be through www.vistaprint.com.

Newspaper ads have always been a very successful method of local advertising. The important thing to consider here is the audience you are targeting. If you are looking for entrepreneurs who are searching for an opportunity, place an ad in the “business opportunity” section. Usually the Sunday and Tuesday paper have the highest readership. Check with your local paper to be certain. Remember, newspaper readers are very loyal and may not respond to an ad until they have seen it more than once. When placing an ad, do it for at least 3 weeks. Visit www.newspapers.com for a list of countrywide newspapers.

Do a radio ad and have a professional do it if you suck! Now, be honest with yourself when it comes to your voice. If it not a very exciting voice, people will not listen to you. Honesty pays in this case….literally.

Now there is always the internet. Some options you have for local advertising are SEO (Search Engine Optimization), CPC advertising, classifieds, banner ads on local sites, the yellow pages online, etc….When advertising locally on the internet choose local words such as Pinetop Vacation Rental if you are living in Pinetop. You will get more targeted visitors and better conversion on your leads or purchases.

The most effective method of advertising that effects every avenue of marketing is always living your abundant and prosperous lifestyle out loud. People are more attracted to you if you are having fun, making money, and out and about! I have made more money while having fun then I ever did working. That may just be the type of business opportunity I am involved in, but I know it effects every business. Would you rather go to a restaurant that is nice, clean, and classy or would you go to the mobile home added onto four times with 6.5 foot ceilings? Of course you’d go to the nicer one. So, make yourself look enticing by living your life and having fun. People are attracted to lifestyle more than anything else. They will want what you have. I have had people ask for more information on my business just for walking through Wal-mart with my family during the middle of the day on a weekday. The reason was, the lady was always there with her kids and never there as a whole family. She wanted that in her life.

Truthfully, I hate going to Wal-mart…..but love being with my family. Sacrifices have to be made sometimes to do what you love.

So there you have it. We have generated tens of thousands of dollars this year from local advertising. It all works, it just takes consistency, well written ads, and the will to do it. Then again, there is always the most simple way to advertise…..just open your mouth!

Have you ever heard of the metaphor of the cows and Rhinos? Or maybe a more familiar term would be an employee or an entrepreneur? Whatever it might be, the comparison between the two is what i would like you to take a look at. What do cows do? They follow the leader, they stay within the fence, they graze all day and are content with that life. Rhinos on the other hand are the opposite, they are leaders, they stray away from the heard, they are independent, they are free and wild animals.

Employees are the same as cows in most circumstances. They are told what to do, kept within boundaries, follow the leader, and most of the time,feel they are stuck and may be content with that kind of a life. Entrepreneurs on the other hand, complete opposite. Anyway, you get the point. Cows may want to be Rhinos, but they can’t, because they are cows. People, on the other hand, are not creatures of habit. You can do whatever you want. That is what makes us special and unique.

Take a look at this picture. I would like to use this as an example of my point. Look at this Ponderosa Pine in the midst of all the Juniper trees. Do you see how the Pine is trying to fit in. It knows it should be growing huge and tall but wants to look like the rest of the trees it is surrounded with. So instead it is getting wider instead of taller like it should.

Now, look at the potential of the Ponderosa Pine. It is one of the largest trees in the forest. I have seen them grow to widths of 6-8 feet growing over 80 feet tall, yet, this one tree living amongst the Junipers is barely 30 ft tall. It goes to prove, if you hang around the Junipers, you will become a Juniper. If you hang around the Ponderosa Pines, you will reach your full potential. You become who you hang around with. If you desire to be wealthy and successful, hang around those that are wealthy and successful. It isn’t rocket science folks. Get out of the limiting environment you may be in, get into a business opportunity and be mentored by those who are what you want to become. Start living your life the way you want to live it. Realize what your full potential is and take action.

Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy new year and assume that everyone had a blast last night! We spent the evening at the movie theater with just our family watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. Our kids barely made it through the movie and were passed out in the car before we were 5 minutes down the road. Slackers! No discipline. We had about 45minutes to wait once we arrived home, kissed each other and went to bed at aroun 12:30am. The important part, is that I have not worked since the Friday before Christmas eve. Through the holidays I have seen fathers and mothers alike having to go back to work during the holidays. I am just grateful that I have the option to choose for myself, being self-employed, whether or not to work. It is a great freedom that I will never take for granted.

So with this new year here, it important to set some lofty goals for myself and for my family. Of course, my goal is to make seven-figures by this time 2009. I intend on assisting as many like-minded entrepreneurs in doing the same as well. I had great success last year, received an award, assisted many people in this business, but it will not hold a candle to this years results. If you are ready for wealth, abundance, and freedom in your life, jump on the train. I am going places in this business and am determined to assist as many people in board as I possible can.

So, enjoy the day and Happy New Year to you all!

What a holiday season! I have just been full of gratitude for all the many wonderful things that have happened my family and I this past year. Well, if you have been through my website, you know all the places we have been able to visit and some of the things we were able to accomplish. Life is full of abundance and great moments if we but choose to act. In reflecting where I was three years ago, I realize how awesome lfe is for us right now. I wouldn’t change a thing.

The holiday season is always a perfect time to get together with family and friends. I love holidays for that one reason. Well, that and the good food. But, you know, I would like to say that I am going to be able to spend time with my extended family for the next week and just hang out, but they all have to go back to work today. Yeah, we are headed down to stay with them for the next week or so but they will all be gone during the day to their JOB. What a bummer! Why can’t everyone just start this business, mke a ton of money, and take as much time off as I do. Then, that would be ideal. But I guess it isn’t my choice.

This is just a quick note to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Make 2008 the year that will bring much prosperity and abundance into your life. Don’t wait to get started towards your goals. Don’t make resolutions, make goals and as NIKE would say, just do it! If you are looking for a business vehicle, check out my website and don’t hesitate to call me. This business has changed my life and it will for you too. Have a happy New Year!

I am just a normal guy who found an extraordinary opportunity which has assisted me in living a lifestyle that most will never get to experience. I owe it all to this opportunity. I have made a list of 101 things that I would like to and will experience before I leave this world and here are just a few that I have knocked out so far.

1. I have made over $50,000 US in a 30 day period. $42,000 of that was in a 3 day period. I have made more in a 3 day period than I ever did in an entire year working my last job.

2. We bought a Hummer in 2006!

3. We spent a week in the summer of 2007 in Sydney Australia and attended an opera in the Opera Sydney house!

4. My wife and I went cliff diving in Hawaii in October 2006.

5. We spent a week in Cancun in October 2007.

6. We spent a week in Cancun in March 2007.

7. We spent a week on Lake Powell on the border of Utah and Arizona in the late summer of 2007. We took my in-laws and it turned out to be a blast. We had a few waverunners, a couple of fishing poles, and a lot of time! We visited Rainbow Bridge, the largest natural rock bridge is the US.

8. We built a 4500 square foot home in the mountains of Arizona. We moved from our old home which was 2000 sq ft and turned it into a vacation rental. We started construction in the summer of 2006 and finished in February of 2007.

9. We bought some toys to play around with, as a family. This Ranger was an anniversary gift from me to my wife in 2006.

10. We did all this in just over two years. Who knows what else is in store for our future. All I know, is that anyone can do this business. Money, Lifestyle, Increased learning and personal development, whatever it is you seek, this business can provide it.
