FINANCIAL COUNSEL

FAINTHEARTEDNESS TRANQUILIZES FISCAL OPPORTUNITIES

IS FEAR OF SCAMS GREATER THAN YOUR DESIRE FOR SUCCESS

COWARDLINESS STRANGLES FISCAL OPPORTUNITIES!

There are a lot of articles and adds, even a best selling book, warning people of scams
concerning internet business opportunities. I wish to take issue with that stance. My experiences have shown me there are very few, if any, real scams.

WHO DECIDES IF SOMETHING IS A SCAM?

By definition, a scam is when someone offers something for sell that does not exist, or is not
theirs' to sell. Most of those who are crying "scam" seem to be either selling something and using
this as a technique to gain your trust, or who are justifying their own fears and unwillingness to
step out and change their lives by labeling such efforts as scams. Before you buy into their crap,
shouldn't you ask yourself, what is their agenda?

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO START A BUSINESS

First it is necessary to find a need you can fill by selling a product, service or skill.
Second is to gain knowledge concerning this need and a plan to market the product, service or
skill. People gain knowledge basically two ways. One way is by experience, learning from
mistakes and successes. This way is painful and costly. The other way is to learn from someone
else's experience.
Third, you need to apply the plan to market the service, product or skill.

OPEN YOUR HEART TO THE POSSIBILITIES.

We live in a wonderful time where there are so many different opportunities to try our wings.
Basically, the internet business offers, real estate investing offers and working toward your
financial independence guru's are people who were successful at it and want to share what they
have learned. How can anyone find fault with that? They should be thanked for their efforts to
help the rest of us. The opportunity is to short cut the process by buying their knowledge.
Over the last ten years I have worked closely with Carleton Sheets-No Money Down Real Estate, Robert Kiyosaki-Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Steven R. Covey-Seven Habits Of High Effective People and others. Each of these gentlemen reached their financial goals in life and took a year off to decide what to do with the rest of their lives. They each decided they wanted to share what they learned to help others.
Not only have I successfully used what they taught, I have also offered the opportunity to help thousands of others who bought their materials, to do the same. Over 90% succeeded. Ask any of these who didn't get it to work, if it was a scam, and most will agree that it was simply their own fault it didn't work.
I have tried several internet business offers and have always gotten my money's worth.

THE CHOICE IS YOURS, AS IT SHOULD BE.

Most people choose to be spectators, watching others succeed. Their fears, doubts and
rationalizing controling them.
We get pretty well what we deserve in life. After all, you are in control of the choices you make,
however, you have no control over the consequences of those choices. If you don't like where
you are or what you are doing, do something about it. If you don't know what to do, get
knowledge. The price you pay for that knowledge depends on how you obtain it. The more you
do on your own, the more expensive in money, lost time and mistakes.

IT'S TIME TO DO SOMETHING.

If you would like to be your own boss, or work from home, or even become financially
independent; here are the steps.
One have a very strong desire, strong enough to want to take action.
Two is gain knowledge, enough knowledge to give you a course of action.
Three is to act on that knowledge.
Four is don't quit. If someone else did it, so can you.
Successfully working from home is good. Being your own boss is great. Being financially
independent is priceless.
