Over the years I have had the privilege of meeting many successful people, and the interesting thing is that most of them are prepared to share their knowledge with others, especially when it comes to financial success.
Many of the secret principles to become wealthy have been condensed into one-line quotes; I will sprinkle a few about here for you to think about - - -
"I will do today what others will not, so I can live tomorrow As others can not"
In other words, get out there and do something, then later you and your family will enjoy a much better standard of living.
" If you always do what you've always done, You'll always get what you've always got."
Sorry folks, if you keep watching television and spending big money on tickets for football, concerts and so on, your money situation will always be the same as it is now.
"To have more than you've got, you need to become more than you are"
The good news is, we can all do this, if I can do it you can too. All I did was read books and listen to successful people who were already where I wanted to be in life.
"Success is not for the chosen few - - - it is for the few who choose"
That quote made me realize that you do not have to be "special" to increase your standard of living, you just need to decide to succeed, have a plan to achieve success, and keep going when it is sometimes difficult.
"Winners never quit, and quitters never win "
That must be the most obvious quote in human history, but millions of people give up on their dreams before they ever attain them.
So, here is another secret that my Mentor shared with me - - -
"The only way to achieve wealth and lifestyle is to LEVERAGE your time"
If you read part one, you saw just a few of the thousands of ways to make more money, - - - but did you spot the problem? I am not knocking any of those ideas, I used them myself for a long time and made good money, but they all involve trading time for money, and my friend explained "if you trade your time for money you will never have both. He went on to tell me that the really successful people leverage their time. We all have the same twenty-four hours in a day, but you can increase that by a few different methods.
You could for example open a factory making a product, if you have 5000 employees, all working eight hours a day, you now have 40,000 hours a day going into your business - - - - Of course, this is not an option for most of us, lack of capital prevents most people from opening a small factory, never mind a big one.
Another good way is to sell something based on the "Royalty" principle, such as a book you have written, or a song, or a painting you can sell prints of.
The key to this method is the fact that though you have just sold something, you have still got it! If you write a book, you write it once, but you get paid a royalty over and over again on the sales.
Again, we are not all gifted or creative enough to write a book, or a song, or paint a picture, so we need see if there are any other ways to achieve this "time leverage"
I have explored some of these other ways on my website, for now I will just outline some facts for you, and then you can have a closer look later.
There is a business opportunity anyone can run, and it has a few massive advantages over a conventional business. You do not need a lot of capital to start with, you can work this from home, you don't need to buy or rent premises, you don't need to buy or stock huge amounts of product, and you don't need any previous business experience.
In part three I will show you how you can achieve more for you and yours than you ever thought possible, it will require some work and determination, and it is not a "get rich quick" scam - - - but others have gone before you, and will help you to get started and then succeed, because this is a team effort, and their success is helped by yours.
