Two Men - One Message

Why We Want You To Be Rich is a book written by a billionaire collaborating with a millionaire; Donald J. TRUMP and Robert T. KIYOSAKI. I am sure you guys have heard their names before from the megahit TV series The Apprentice and the New York Times Bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad.

These two men collaborated to write one book, addressing the problems (though focusing on finance) we as a world are facing today, especially in America. The world is facing many challenges and one of them is financial. The entitlement mentality is epidemic, creating people who expect their countries, employers, or families to take care of them. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, both successful businessmen, are natural teachers and have joined forces to address these challenges. They believe you cannot solve money problems with money. You can only solve money problems with financial education. Trump and Kiyosaki want to teach you to be rich.

They each could have written a book on the subject, but they chose instead to write a book together because of their shared passion for education and their desire to bring emphasis to the importance of financial education. In addition they have designated a portion of the profits from each book (Why We Want You To Be Rich) to be donated to charitable and educational organizations that also support financial education. They will not give a portion of the profits to charities because they believe it will only create a poverty as they will always rely on the rich people to give them food.

Schooling Can Leave Us With Limitations

School can incubate our passions to achieve. Like these valedictorians. But it can also instill self-limiting patterns of thinking and behavior.

Robert Kiyosaki recalls his early school years: "Today I don’t use much of what I learned after the fifth grade. But that’s not to say school didn’t leave its permanent mark on me. The fact is, I left school with several behavioral traits I hadn’t walked in with."

Writing in the book Einstein's Business: Engaging Soul, Imagination and Excellence in the Workplace, he continues: "Engraved in my mind was the belief that making a mistake, or 'screwing up,' got me ridiculed by my peers and often my teacher. School brainwashed me into believing that if a person wanted to be successful in life, he or she had to always be right. In other words, never be wrong.

"School taught me to avoid being wrong (making mistakes) at all costs. And if you did happen to make a mistake, at least be smart enough to cover it up. This is where all too many people are today—not allowing themselves to make mistakes and thus blocking their own progress."

This urge toward perfectionism can deeply affect us, he notes: "The symptoms of this 'disease' are feelings of boredom, failure, and dissatisfaction, although most of us never come to understand why we feel this way. After having it drilled into us for so many years, it's hard to imagine that being 'right' could cause such unhappiness."

Network Marketing Online A Perfect Home-Based Business

There are few better ways to make a living than sitting at your computer in your bathrobe and slippers with nothing except your bank account telling you how long and how hard you need to work every day. Being able to operate your own network marketing online business gives you the freedom to set your own hours as well as determine how much effort you want to put into the venture.

There are many companies offering the opportunity to earn an exorbitant amount of money in a very short time doing practically nothing and following those opportunities will usually allow you to do very little and make even less. A very few have made big bucks on line very quickly, but the typical home business opportunity will take time and effort from which to realize an above average income.

Network marketing mainly involves placing advertising for others on internet sites. No, you are not becoming an advertising agency and do not need the training that goes into being one. What you can be doing is matching internet businesses with other sites to successfully advertise what they have to offer. Whether it is a product or a service is irrelevant as the concept is the same. How you accomplish that is a matter of learning what the business offers and who the projected customers are.

It will take the desire to operate your own business from home as well as adequate training to perform the function right. It will also take the self-discipline of running your own business to make sure you can get the job done in a timely manner. It is not the proverbial cakewalk of opening a network marketing business and getting rich. It will take additional effort to recruit others to help you to grow your business so as to create an income sufficient enough to live the lifestyle you desire to live.

Discover How To Build An Internet / Web Business The Right Way

Starting a business on the web is not unlike starting any other business. The odds are against us that we will not succeed and because it is easier/cheaper many times to start on the web, it makes way for a lot more competition.

However, if you do it correctly, you can set yourself up for a wonderful lifestyle where you can work from anywhere in the world, make as much as you want, and have the freedom you deserve.

So, let's take a look at some of the types of businesses you can start and how you should set it up so you aren't spinning your wheels and become one of the large percentage of people that does not succeed.

Types of Web Based Businesses This may not be an all inclusive list as creativity, imagination, and knowledge will help you stand out and come up with new/great ideas.

1. Service business: If you can create a service-type business, this in my opinion is a great way to build a business. Some say you are limited, but not in most cases. If you can automate the process, use the right tools, etc, then a service business is great. If you have to be involved (such as a Lawyer), then you may be limited to how much you can make per work hour. An example is a web hosting company that collect monthly "rent" from various web sites.

2. Product based: If you want to open an online store and carry or dropship a product, then this would be your way to go. There are ups and downs to having to deal with products, but if you can design an efficient system around your business, then the processes will be easy and you will make more money. One difference between people who make a lot of money and those who don't is the systems they have in place.

3. Information products: This is very popular and a great way to start your business. Everyone has knowledge in something or at least can do some research to find out what people are interested in learning about. Ebooks, CD's, etc. are high in demand because people come to the web to find information. They are easy to produce and have great profit potential.

4. Affiliate Marketing: This is where you promote other people's products. There are entire books written on this subject and it is another easy/great way to get the ball rolling.

Man of Substance

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad — USA Today’s #1 Money Book for two years running and the international runaway bestseller — is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.

In communicating his point of view on why ‘old’ advice – get a good job, work hard, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify – is ‘bad’ (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence, and courage.

Rich Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists that report to Publisher’s Weekly – The New York Times, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today – and has held a top spot on the famed New York Timeslist for over five years. Translated into 46 languages and available in 97 countries. the Rich Dad series has sold over 26 million copies worldwide and has dominated bestsellers lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico, and Europe. In 2005, Robert was inducted into the Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that that bookseller’s Top 25 Authors. There are currently 13 books in the Rich Dad series.

Robert writes a bi-weekly column – ‘Why the Rich Are Getting Richer’ – for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column titled ‘Rich Returns’ for Entrepreneur Magazine.

Enjoying Success With Network Marketing

One of the reasons that so many people are not successful with network marketing is because they give up too early. Now don't get me wrong it can appear to be a tough business at the beginning. Recruiting, training, selling, promoting, it can seem like a huge learning curve of "things to do" and when you are not used to running a business in that way it can be easier to give up than go on.

Below are 11 steps you can take to ensure you enjoy success with network marketing, stay on the road to success and avoid potential pitfalls.

1. Be prepared to handle rejection.

Who said that any kind of selling was easy? But it all comes down to attitude. If you can understand that a rejection of the opportunity that you are so excited about is not a rejection of you as a person, then you are on your way. "No" must be interpreted as "next". This is easier said than done but it's the price of success.

2. Be realistic in your expectations.

All new businesses take time to develop and grow. If you go into a network marketing opportunity and raise your bar to a level you can't reach you will soon become disappointed. By the same token I never want to dampen a persons enthusiasm if they truly believe that they can achieve high numbers in a short time. However, many times unrealistic expectations are set and disappointment often follows.

Would you work out in the gym for an hour and then expect to have rippling muscles? Then why expect a business venture to be off the ground and earning you money within a few weeks? Give it time, this is a new born baby, it takes time to nurture and grow. The potential results are worth the initial effort.

If your attraction to a network marketing company was the sales page that mentioned the salaries of their top recruiters find those people and ask them how long it took them to build their business and how much money and time they had to put into it. This information will give you a clearer picture.

3. Be in it for the long haul

Once you find a reputable company be prepared to stay for the long haul. As mentioned above building your business takes time. The most successful people in life have gone through very trying times but they stuck with it and left a legacy behind. It is often said that tough times don't last but tough people do. The same is true for those seeking to build a solid residual income. You should commit yourself to at least 3 years before making a decision either way. Yes! That's right. AT LEAST 3 years. Jumping from one opportunity to the next only shows a lack of decision and stability in your planning.

4. Listen to those who have been successful

Learn from the pros and stick with what works. When you first join a network marketing company it is really easy to "pick holes" in the way things are done. Perhaps you see a b etter way to achieve something. Well before you rush off and try it contact the "heavy hitters" - the successful people within the company and ask them if it has been tried already. If it ain't broke then don't try and fix it.

Be a learner for your first year. Just listen, learn and apply. After you are more established you can always pick up on your idea and if it is a good one then you will have the backing of experience to help you put it in place. Being in a new network marketing company is learning enough for anyone, don't complicate things by trying to do things your way.

5. Empower your downline members ASAP!

Leveraging other people's time and skills is the powerful system that lies behind Network Marketing.

Teaching is an important part of the game of building a strong team but some marketers make the mistake of doing too much for their downline members. This often backfires, however, because the downline members be come comfortable and depend too heavily on their upline and never grow strong enough to build their own teams.

So it is important that you train your downline members and empower them to take the plunge towards getting going as quickly as possible. Avoid doing too much for them, or making them dependent on contacting you for every little thing.

6. Arrange group rather than one to one discussions

Whenever possible arrange to talk to a group of people at once rather than focus on talking to everyone individually, which will be very time consuming. The best network marketing companies will already have group presentations that you can invite people to attend but you may also want to consider running your own. Other things to try include hosting an online chat room, setting up a toll free number with a recorded message that invites callers to leave their details so that you can return the call.

7. Look for people in need of extra income

Many small businesses are in need to extra revenue to help with cash flow problems. If they offer services they may also be interested in establishing a business that provides passive income - especially if it fits into what they already offer.

The biggest advantage is the fact that you are targeting people who are already motivated and understand what it takes to run a successful business. These individuals will also be networking in their businesses and therefore may be in a position of influence. Professionals that come in contact with a large number of people also make good distributors. The more 'business minded' your prospects are the more likely you will recruit them.

8. Make a written plan with all your goals

As a life coach I understand the importance of writing goals down as a way of working towards them. We are more likely to commit to something that is written down, plus you can hang it up within your sight to remind you of what you are working towards when you are in need of motivation. I recommend your top six goals are written out daily and/or read out.

Every business owner should have a goal to which they are aspiring to. If you aim for nothing you are likely to strike it. If your plan is to get to a residual income of $30,000 per month then you should set smaller goals on your way there.
