How To Dress For Success

2008-09-01T16:08:00.000-07:00

Imagine not having to wait in lines. Imagine getting the best seats in a restaurant. Imagine being treated with respect everywhere you go.

The way you dress can give you all this and more. Everytime you meet someone new, they will judge you within 4 seconds. Do you want to be seen as a loser or a winner?

In fact, dressing for success can save your life! I know that sounds like a bold statement but let me explain. One day I was on a business trip flying to Europe. I was dressed in a very nice suit and sporting a rolex watch and a gold ring. I looked the picture of success. As I was exiting the plane the stewardess said to me, "You look so nice that if the plane was to crash and I could save only one person, I would have saved you". Wow, I had never thought that dressing for success could save my life.

To properly dress, a man should wear a BLACK suit. On top of that you will also need a shirt and tie. By using the proper color combinations you can increase your percieved value.

If you were going to appear in the media, a blue shirt is the proper color to wear.
White is a good choice for a balanced and professional look. Red is the color of passion and would make a good choice if your were on a first date with a woman you were interested in. Pink and Yellow are top choices for when you wish to display power.

Women should wear black slacks and a white blouse that buttons up the front with a Mandarin collar.

In fact, my wife and I went to the Louis Vuitton store the other day to buy a handbag. We were both dressed very casually in shorts and t-shirts. It took us ober 20 minutes before a salesperson offered to help us. In the meantime, folks in suits who arrived after us were helped right away.

Here is an experiment the next time you go out to a restaurant. While everyone else wears jeans or shorts, show up in your suit. I'm willing to bet you'll get better service from the valet to the hostess to the waiter.

Cut Expenses To Live Better

2008-03-15T21:12:00.000-07:00

In my last post I explained on how you should make your money work for you and not you work for your money.

The secret is to save 10% to 15% every time you get paid. Then take these savings and invest them wisely so your money makes more money.

If you can't save the money then you need to do one of two things (or both). Make more money or cut back on expenses.

Making more money doesn't mean you have to work harder, just smarter. Instead of working for $8 per hour, work for $16 per hour. You work the same amount but make twice as much.

When it comes to cutting expenses, you would be amazed at what you can cut. I want you to keep a notepad and every time you write a check, use a credit card, or spend cash, write it down. After one month (preferably three months) you'll be able to see how much money you waste on things that are not really needed (remember, you can buy these things later once you are rich, for now, our goal is to get rich).

This months assignment, write down your expenses, pay yourself 15% and try to live on the rest without going into debt. Next post we'll discuss some ways to increase your income without working harder than you are now.

Let Your Money Work For You

2008-03-09T14:00:00.000-07:00

One of the questions most asked of me is:

"Will, how do you live so well but never have to work?"

Well I do work, but it is true I only work about 10 hours a week yet I live in a nice home, I'm a single parent and raise a teenager daughter (and that can be expensive), and I drive a luxury car which is only a few years old.

Let me tell you the secret.

Most people get far into debt because they want all the latest gadgets and fancy gizmos. When you get into debt you now have to pay others and then you must become a slave to some employer to earn money which you can then turn around and give to your creditor.

If you have a lot of debt, you will soon find yourself having to work two jobs.

My advice is to NOT get into debt. Only finance things that will make you more money. If it doesn't make you money pay cash. If you can't pay cash, don't buy it! It's pretty simple.
If you don't have bills, you can then work less and spend the extra time laying on the beach, travelling the world, spending time with family, etc..

Now that you have stopped incurring debt, it's time to start creating a bankroll that you can use for investing.

Every time you receive any form of money whether from income, tax return, gambling winnings, whatever, put 10% to 15% into a savings account. Always pay yourself first BEFORE you pay your creditors.

To increase your return, put your savings into a CD or Money Market Account. These pay more and your money will grow faster. (or as I have explained in a previous blog, in an investment that will return 100%).

What you want to do is to have your cash making more cash for you. You'll be making money while you travel, in your sleep, or while having dinner with family or friends.

Let your money work for you, NOT you work for your money. Get it?

Now you may be saying, "I can't afford to save 10% to 15%". I'll show you how to get over this in the next blog posting.

It frustrates me when I see people get fooled by get-rich-quick scheme websites on the Internet. And believe me, there are tons of them out there, waiting to snatch some victims.

Are you one of the victims? Are you giving up your financial freedom?

Please don't.

Allow me to share with you some important truths that are essential to your internet success (and possibly to your mental well-being!).

Don't go chasing every internet marketing rabbit trail.

The internet is literally so big, and there are so many marketers trying to make a quick buck from YOU, that you could spend ALL day,every day just chasing illusions of internet riches. If you only chase after those hyped up illusions every day, then you will NEVER find what you're looking for.

There does come a point where you have to take a small leap of faith and "try" something. In other words, you will have to do some work. The problem is, whose method should you try? After all, your time is valuable and you don't want to waste it on hype.

The best advice I can give you is to find someone who has done it already, and do what they do. I'm not talking about someone who"says" they know some secret method. I'm talking about someone who IS making money.

That person could be me, or it could be another internet marketer that you've grown to trust. The bottom line is, there's just too much crap out there for anyone to find the right way on their own. It took me years to find the right way, and today there's exponentially more hype and junk on the internet than when I started.

If I had to do it all over again today, starting with zero knowledge, I'd be totally lost. Thankfully, there's a simple program that's going to save your time and money. It's called "Legit Online Jobs."

"Legit Online Jobs" has been in business since January 2005. HonestEonline.com, Trust-Guard.com and Truste.org have *PERSONALLY* reviewed this program and said it is not hype - it's the real deal. Finally! :)

Please, don't waste your time on programs that don't work for you.There are so many opportunities out there that there's no need for you to waste your time on the ones that aren't working.

There's also a proof of income that I'd like to show you on thewebsite with glowing testimonials from our members. You owe it toyourself to at least check it out.

Create Wealth Using Compounding

SECRET FORMULA TO WEALTH ANYONE CAN DO

Lets say you were offered a job and your employer offered you two ways to be paid:

Option A) He will pay you $1,000 per day
or
Option B) He will pay you .01 cent the first day and double it every day for the next thirty days.

Most people will choose Option A and will have earned $30,000 within the 30 day time frame. However, Option B pays a LOT more.

Take a look at this chart:
Day 1: .01
Day 2: .02
Day 3: .04
Day 4: .08
Day 5: .16
Day 6: .32
Day 7: .64
Day 8: 1.28
Day 9: 2.56
Day 10: 5.12
Day 11: 10.24
Day 12: 20.48
Day 13: 40.96
Day 14: 81.92
Day 15: 163.84
Day 16: 327.68
Day 17: 655.36
Day 18: 1,310.72
Day 19: 2,621.44
Day 20: 5,242.88
Day 21: 10,485.76
Day 22: 20,971.52
Day 23: 41,943.04
Day 24: 83,886.08
Day 25: 167,772.16
Day 26: 335,544.32
Day 27: 671,088.64
Day 28: 1,342,177.20
Day 29: 2,684,354.40
Day 30: 5,368,708.80

As you can see, in Option 2, eventhough you only start with one United States penny, within 30 days you would be earning over $5 million dollars a day compared to $30,000 total with option A.

This is called COMPOUNDING and it is a secret formula to wealth anyone can do.

To achieve these results all you would have to do is get a 100% return on your money, per day. Now that would be highly unattainable, and if you know how to do that, let me know.

We could make it more realistic by changing days to years. You could take 1 penny and make $1 million per year within 28 years. Now that seems like a long time but most people in the world work 28 years and never make a million dollars.

Let's mess with the numbers again. Let's say we had $1,000 USD to start with instead of 1 penny. That alone would knock off 17 years. If we start with $1,000 USD we could turn it into $1 million within 11 years! Start with $10,000 you could do it within 7 years.

One more mess with the numbers. Instead of every year what about every 6 months, we could make our million within 4 years or so.

Now all of this supposes we could get a 100% return on our money.You could run the numbers using 50% return or whatever number you like. But compounding your money provides for fantastic returns and wealth.

If you had $1,000 what could you do to earn a 100% return? What about buy a car, put $1,000 down and turn around and sell it for $2,000. Couldn't you take one year to find such a bargain and then buy and sell it?

Next year, take your $2,000 and find another car and buy and sell for $4,000. Now when you get up to the bigger money. Switch over to real estate. Buy a house with $5,000 down. Sell the house within a year and if you make a $5,000 profit.. thats a 100% return.

When you get up to $100,000 you could switch over to commercial real estate. Let's say you buy a property for $1 million and put 10% down ($100,000), sell the property within one year for 1.1 million and your $100,000 profit just made a 100% return.

This money you should never touch. Keep reinvesting it and with compounding you could take $10,000 and make $1 million in seven years. (that means you only have to do 7 deals in your lifetime).

After that you could retire and put your money into a safe investment that returns 10% per year and you would have a $100,000 per year incometo live on. Forever. When you die, your children would have the$100,000 per year income for their lives (as long as no one spends the money).

I hope this opens your eyes to possibilities.
