I'm So Thankful We Have a Bad Economy



I recently received this article from a business associate by the name of Mal Emery who I respect and often go to for business advice. It struck a chord with me. I think you will find it very interesting to say the least.

Yesterday I took my wife to the chiropractor and decided to sit in the car park and listen to business tapes. After a while I looked up and noticed with amazement the cars that were parked around me.

Not one of the 15 or 20 cars I saw costs less than $35,000 and there were several luxury cars including two Mercedes and a Porsche.

Going past a major shopping centre on the way home I noticed the car park was full in the middle of the day on a Monday. Then I stopped for fuel and for the first time I actually looked at the price of petrol and was shocked to learn it was only $1.08 a litre.

Yes, I was shocked to learn petrol was so cheap. I thought it would be much more than that based on all the bitching people are doing about fuel prices. If fuel costs so much and if people are truly struggling to the extent we are led to believe then how come the whole country's driving four wheel drive gas guzzlers, why are shopping centres so busy and why is it that every household seems to have two cars in the driveway?

If it’s so tough to get ahead in this day and age, why have real estate prices escalated faster in the last few years than any period I can remember? All across the country interest rates are somewhere close to a 30 year low and incomes are up to an all time high and most working families can buy more nice things than they ever did before.

I have some bad news for you if things are bad around your house. . .

It’s Not The Economy’s Fault, Oil Prices Or The Government Of The Day… It's You

If there's not enough money coming into your household you can blame it on any convenient scapegoat you wish but you know, I know, and everyone in your household knows the real problem. Perhaps it's time you quit bellyaching and start bringing home the bacon. To put it more bluntly.. .get off your butt and do something about your present situation.

Every once in awhile a client actually tries to convince me business is tough and they back this up with the vocal support of all the broke morons they hang around for pity parties. They've convinced themselves, with the help of other losers, that the problem lies... everywhere else but with them.

Sorry Charlie! No Sale. Not to this case hardened veteran who has the luxury of spending time with good people from all over the country who don’t suffer from the same condition and you should see the stack of heart warming success letters we get regularly from them.

The rags to riches stories are incredible to some, but have become expected and quite normal to me. OK, don't get me wrong, I love every one of them and never get tired of getting them but I've seen many of them over the years. I've grown to expect that from everyone I guess. It's one of my character flaws.

Here's something you might want to ask yourself the next time you're looking for a convenient excuse to cop out on your obligations to yourself and your family, to be the best you can be:

Excuse Buster: Has anyone else stuck with similar disadvantages, or worse handicaps,
overcame them and achieved goals similar to my own?

The answer is and will always be... YES! There's not a problem in business that hasn't been solved numerous times long before you came along and will continue to be overcome long after you conquer it or give up. If they can do it, what's stopping you? Why are your problems so special? What's stopping you from making a million dollars a year or more? This much I know...
It’s No-one Else’s Fault But Yours!

Business is good, very, very good, all over the country. Deals are abundant, the Internet has created the Information Superhighway. People are getting very, very rich, very quickly. The good life is now!

Your answers are within you, not the talking heads running for office. Regardless of who wins the election it won't change your life much. Only you can do that. Labour, Liberal, more taxes, less taxes, sellers market, buyers market, high rates, low rates, high petrol prices, low petrol prices, at war or peace, stocks up, stocks down, feeling good or feeling bad, doing well or doing poorly...

You Can Live Your Life Anyway You Want But You Can Only Live It Once.

If you're doing well you can do a lot better. If you're not growing you're dying. Get back to live events where you hang around people who are doing better. It'll rub off. Ditch mediocrity and reach for the stars. Help someone else achieve their dreams. How much longer do you have to make your mark? Will there be a crowd at your funeral? Time's short my friend, and you can't buy an extension.

If you're not doing well take a long look at the real reason and lay out your best options to fix it. Whatever's broke has a cure. What is it? What have others done to fix it?

Stop fussing about all your petty problems and make a commitment to get your life moving, whatever it takes. If you think your problems are big take a trip to a hospice and talk to some of the residents. Ask them what they would do different if they had another chance. When you leave I can assure you all your money problems will seem insignificant and you'll feel lucky to have them.

You are what you think and you'll be who you hang around with.

With all this in mind, I’m going to reveal to you 5 elegant Authentic Wealth Secrets and to most of you they represent ground-breaking, cutting-edge information. I doubt you’ve ever heard them from anyone before (no matter how many ‘wealth’ seminars you’ve attended or how many marketing books you’ve read). Why? Because too many so-called “gurus” are blissfully unaware of what they don’t know. Or if they do, they keep it a secret hoping you never find out.

I don't care. I’m not greedy and keeping opportunities from others is not my agenda.

And RIGHT NOW I’m going to blow the lid on my 5 Authentic Wealth Secrets. The fact that you don’t know about these is possibly keeping you tied down financially. I guess it’s partially because of my sense of fair play, that I can’t stand people withholding information that could take someone’s life from misery to heaven in one fell swoop.

Now, you might know one of these Authentic Wealth Secrets, or perhaps even two if you’re really on the ball - but not all five. That’s the difference. And because you don’t know them, you will never truly put the “pieces” together. In fact it’s impossible. It’s probably why right now you’re staring at a future which is at best ... average (I don’t mean to offend you. But I believe not knowing the truth will hurt you more than me confronting you with it. And when you see what your life could be like if you know these Authentic Wealth Secrets, you’ll instantly agree that you’ve been selling yourself way short. It’s not your fault — you’ve just never truly been shown everything you need to know.)

Who Should Definitely Read the 5 Authentic Wealth Secrets?

1. Anyone currently in business.
2. Anyone considering going into business.
3. Anyone who wants to stop wasting time & money learning the hard way.
4. Anyone interested in wealth creation.
5. Anyone wanting a quantum leap / breakthrough.
6. Anyone responsible for sales and marketing.
7. Anyone wanting to start an online business from home.

Now, you’ve gotta’ be wondering … what these 5 Authentic Wealth Secrets are that are guaranteed to stir up a storm when I reveal them to you. After that, you can make up your own mind if I know what I’m talking about.

I’ll tell you this, in a number of businesses of my own and consulting with hundreds of people, I’ve never seen so many make so much money by knowing these 5 Authentic Wealth Secrets!

As Mal puts it, this information might just "rattle your cage."
