Every year 100 college Grads are tracked from the age of 25 to 65 to see where they end up, here are the consistent results.

Out of 100 college graduate, 1% becomes wealthy. Wealthy to me is when you have 4 figure and 5 figure uncashed checks in the trunk of your car and you’re lazy to cash it. That’s wealthy. Most of us, when we see a quarter rolling on the floor, we immediately step on it and pick it up. 2% becomes financially independent. Financially independent means you could stop working today like most bloggers do and maintain the same level of lifestyle without any help from friends, family, or the government. That’s the 3% class. So what happened to the rest of the 97% class? 5% are still working. I have friends that graduated from major universities but are still working at Nordstrom or even Starbucks. 36% of them end up dead so we can’t really help them out. 56% is what I like to call the walking dead…dead broke.

What’s interesting about this statistic is that 74% of the 3% that are wealthy and financially independent own their own business.  When I was working at a mortgage company, the owner of the company was making more than $3 million a year and I thought to myself “I’m going to marry the boss’s daughter”. But then I realized that the boss doesn’t have a daughter…he had a son. So I said, “forget about it.” I realize I have to be my own boss.  Then my friend Jimmy told me about having your own website and being an affiliate marketer to make money online.  Robert Kiyosaki said, “The number one thing people can do to increase their wealth is to start up part time business.” Because the Internet is the 3rd gold rush…why not take advantage of it. You work from home, you set your own schedule, and you have the opportunity to make a tremendous amount of money.  Find out more about how to become an affiliate marketer and start making money online.

I was reading an article about reasons why people are not rich. Most of the reasons they listed i think were really small reasons why people are not rich. They listed reasons like “You’re house is too big.” or “You spend too much money on your car.” or “You buy things you don’t need.” But then they listed reason like “You don’t understand the value.” and “You are not willing to learn.” which are relevant reasons to being rich but there was one reason that I think is the best reason they listed in the article. “You fail to take advantage of opportunities.”

There are 3 gold rushes that happened so far. The 1st gold rush happened in 1849 when everybody went to San Francisco, California digging for gold. People made a fortune. The 2nd gold rush happened in 1996 when telecommunications was deregulated. AT&T was a monopoly until President Bill Clinton passed a bill saying other telecommunications could compete. The people who positioned themselves in front of that gold rush made a tremendous amount of money. The 3rd gold rush is happening now with internet marketing about to explode.  There are people making money blogging online.  There’s “The Rich Jerk” that is sharing his secret on how he’s making 6 figure a month online.  There are even teenage kids making money by having their own authority site.  We are sitting on top of a gold mine right now.  There are people that have spoons digging for gold.  There are some that have shovels.  Internet Marketing is a BULLDOZER.  Let’s take advantage of it and….GO FOR TEN.

Winning is not a sometimes thing; it’s an all the time thing.  You don’t win once in a while; you don’t do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time.  Winning is a habit.  Unfortunately, so is losing.  There is no room for second place.  There is only one place in my game, and that’s first place.  I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don’t ever want to finish second again.  There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers.  It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.  Every time a football player goes to play his trade he’s got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head.  Every inch of him has to play.  some guys play with their heads.  That’s O.K.  You’ve got to be smart to be number one in any business.  But more importantly, you’ve got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body.  If you’re lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he’s never going to come off the field second.  Running a football team is no different that running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business.  The principles are the same.  The object is to win - to beat the other guy.  Maybe that sounds hard or cruel.  I don’t think it is.  It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men.  That’s why they are there - to compete.  To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game.  The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.  And in truth, I’ve never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart didn’t appreciate the grind, the discipline.  There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.  I don’t say these things because I believe in the “brute” nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency.   But I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he’s exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.

“He failed in business in 1831.  He was defeated for state legislator in 1832.  He tried another business in 1833.  It failed.  His fiancée died in 1835.  He had been nervous breakdown in 1836.  In 1843 event for Congress and was defeated.  He tried again in 1848 and was defeated again.  He tried running for the Senate in 1855.  He lost.  The next year he ran for vice president and lost.  In 1951 he ran for the Senate again and was defeated.  In 1860, the man who signed his name Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United States.  The difference between history’s boldest accomplishments, and it’s most staggering failures is often, simply, the diligent will to persevere.”

Whatever business you are in whether you are in Network Marketing, a business owner, or blogging for money…you must have the B.E.A.R. philosophy.

B stands for Belief. It all starts from here. You got to believe in the industry you’re in. You got to believe in the company. You got to believe in the products you’re selling and the services the company is providing. And most importantly….you got to BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. When others are telling you that you can’t do it…Believe you can do it. When others are laughing…Believe you can do it. When others are telling you No you can’t…Say YES I CAN! You’ve been hearing NO your whole life.  People says no to you not because they don’t want you to be successful, they don’t want to be left behind.  I’m telling you….YES…YES…YES. When you believe…you will get excited. E stands for excitement. You will be so excited at what you’re doing that you’ll be sleeping at night with your eyes open. You’re excitement will turn into action. A stands for Action. You’ll start doing more and selling more. People are going to come up to you and find out what you’re doing. You’ll be the Energizer Bunny…You’ll keep going and going. When you take action…guess what? You will get results. R stands for Results. The best paycheck is an unexpected one. You’ll become more and have more. When you get results…you’ll believe more…then you’ll get more excited and take more action. Then you’ll get more results and it’ll just cycle. But it all starts with BELIEF. It’s not the R.B.E.A. philosophy. You don’t get results first. It’s the B.E.A.R. philosophy. So start believing!
