Hi friends, I got this in my email the other day and it really hit home with my views on our great country and the fact that I am extremely blessed to be living here versus many other places on the planet. However, I see an increasing darkness, selfishness and FEAR spreading across our country like never before.

This nation was founded on integrity, faith and a vision. Without a vision the people cast of restraint! I’m stepping out in faith during a very uncertain economical time to do what men have done before me. Build a business, pour back in to the community and help others reach their goals. I’m proud to be an American but if we continue on this dark course, I will probably be saying, “I’m proud to be an Aussie” very soon!

Enjoy

Jeremy

A Message from one American to Another

By Carl Morris

Out of adversities come greatness; out of necessities come innovations. We must live by these words to overcome the problems facing our country and us. Neither our government nor our employers can change the problems before us only ourselves, only as an America united.

In the image of our forefathers, we must work together, to renew the purpose of our nation and insure the dreams for our future will become a reality. It is imperative to preserve our heritage, understand our roots and defend our freedom. United by a common cause our country became the envy of the world. We must once again unite as Americans.

We as Americans must provide the vision of the American way, the way of freedom, integrity, innovation, leadership, friendship and dreams for every American. We must believe in our country, our creator and ourselves and have the faith that even in the face of adversity our efforts can and will make a difference. FDR stated, “There is nothing to fear but fear itself.” We cannot become stifled by fear, stress, uncertainty or divisiveness. But choose freedom over fear.

The vision that we must share is about freedom, innovation, teamwork and opportunities for our future It’s about an American way the only way to realize our dreams, share our vision and insure our futures. The dream everyone in, or coming to America shared was not a dream of one religion, race or gender but an American dream. A dream of freedom, spiritually, ideologically and economically. Martin Luther King exclaimed, “I have a dream”; John F. Kennedy said, “it’s not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country”.

As Americans, I repeat as Americans, we must embrace those visions and act upon them, not just for our individual benefit, but for the benefit of all. We were not granted freedom to abuse one another, condemn one another, and ignore one another. We were granted freedom to become more than the sum of all of us combined. Freedom to improve upon, not destroy what has been done.

To do this means a shared vision that works for everyone not just a select few equal opportunity for all the desire to dream for all. Without our dreams, without our visions, without our freedom and without “In God We Trust”, we as Americans will indeed fail. The United States of America: “United we stand, United we shall prevail”.

With Hope and Conviction,

An American citizen

Are You Living by Design?

Are you living life by chance or by design? Living by design takes a few simple but neglected steps including purpose, discipline, and one other…

In order to take the first steps towards living by design, you first need to create a purpose for yourself. Find the “why” for you. When you keep the “why” before you, decisions become straightforward. Zig Ziglar, in his great audio program called “Goals,” gives us two questions to ask as we make choices:

1.)   Is it morally right and fair to everyone involved?

2.)   Does it get me closer or further from my primary objective?

With a clear, created purpose and these questions, life becomes clear and you will know the direction you are moving. It’s up to you to find and achieve your best and highest calling. Will you do it?

Strengthening Discipline and Will Power

Thanks to the “me” focus of our culture for the past several generations, we have lost sight of the need for, and the benefit of, discipline and will power. Instead of denying themselves in the present in order to achieve a future benefit, most people want to receive the benefit today and then be rewarded the benefit tomorrow! Credit problems, government programs, and the constant drone of the “blame game” all reflect the idea that there should be no consequences for taking the easy and enjoyable patch today. However, life doesn’t work that way. The overriding law of nature is that of cause and effect: the consequences of your life are ultimately determined by what you have done and how you have done it.

So here is the ultimate question for you: Are you willing to invest now in order to receive a return later? What you do and the way you do it will ultimately determine the path of your life. Jim Rohn often says, “We can choose the pain we experience, the pain of discipline or the pain of regret.”

It takes will power to deny yourself, but with a purpose, it’s easier. If you know you are going to weigh a certain amount, it’s easy to turn down that dessert. If you know where you are going, choosing the turns to get you there is actually pretty easy.

Managing Time

For many years “time management” has been a staple of business management seminar speakers and personal development books. The problem, of course, is that you can’t really manage time. Time just moves forward. Moments turn in to minutes. Minutes turn into hours. Then days, weeks, months, years. There’s nothing any of us can do to “manage” time. Everyone has the same amount: 24 hours in every day. You can’t buy time, save time, or make time. As in the immortal words of that great prophet of my youth who states, “Time keeps on slippin’ slippin’ slippin’… in to the future.”

So if you can’t manage time, you need to learn how to manage and improve what is happening with your time. This is simple but challenging: You have to learn to manage yourself. It is self management. It is discovering in your very soul that each moment passing is a moment that will never pass again. How you are spending it and all of the other moments of your days, months, and years will determine the path and results of your life. You will discover that how you live each moment makes a difference in what ultimately happens in your life.

Remember those goals for the next year that you have written out? How present are they for you right now? Have you thought about them today? If not, why not? Take a moment now and focus on them.

Aligning Goals and Life

Keeping them present for yourself will help you to adjust your days and your use of time to align with accomplishing what’s important to you. That’s one reason that you write them down and a good reason to review them once in a while. I review my goals daily and I actually keep my primary goal on a laminated card which I carry in pocket everyday. It’s on a florescent orange cardstock allowing it to stay really active in my mind so I can use them as I make decisions throughout my day. The more active you are in engaging your goals with your life, the more real they become to you. And the more real they become.

There is nothing as sad as human beings who have left their destiny to chance. Those who think that life is something that happens to them rather than something they design are sad shadows of what they are made to be. You see, you design your life by deciding how you’ll use it every moment of every day. Each moment is the most precious gift that you have. So how do you spend them? How will you spend the moments that stretch out before you? How many do you have?

No Mortal Knows

While we don’t know how many moments are left to us, what we all know is that there are only so many. You can’t recover one that is gone. You can’t buy or find more. So they are valuable, precious and of infinite worth. But they’re free. Because of that we treat them as though they are worthless, but nothing could be farther from the truth. So, starting right now, live your life with focus. Know where you’re going and why you’re going there. Manage yourself and move towards your vision. Let’s go!

Successfully,

Hello friends and eager entrepreneurs. Jeremy Johnston here and if you don’t know it, I’m all about mindset! It is my belief that a person cannot obtain anything worthwhile if they do not have the proper mindset and understand “certainty”.

I wanted to share an article I came across because it couldn’t have been written better if I had done it myself.

I have accomplished more in the last few months because of my new mindset than any other time in the online marketing industry and I’m just getting started. So enjoy the post and I hope you find it as beneficial as I did.

To Your Success,

The right mind-set, especially of the way you think of yourself, can have many consequences in the results of your efforts. Those that acquire positive thoughts and can apply that sense to their lives and efforts made also acquire the greatest outcomes. It’s a known fact that your thoughts control what you attract, whether negative or positive. It’s a simple concept known as the “Law of Attraction”. If you can master this law of attraction, the possibilities are endless. Doors that have been closed by resistance will open without effort.

You must believe that you have what it takes to achieve your goal. Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich”, developed a self mastery in this subject and has been quoted in his book to say “What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” The success of all business entrepreneurs that have gone above and beyond in order to achieve and acquire their goals has been a total result of believing in themselves and NEVER giving up. Picture yourself as already reaching your goals and life has a mysterious way, better known as the Law of Attraction, of making them a reality.

Now, I have a question for you, are you a fence hopper or a fence sitter? The difference is whether you can make a quick decision or not when you are faced with an opportunity. The ability to keep moving forward and not be held back by indecisiveness can make the difference between success and failure. Most new entrepreneurs get stuck in “paralysis by analysis” and become frustrated at the fact that they just don’t seem to be getting any closer to reaching their goals.

When an opportunity confronts you, do your analysis and make a decision. Once the decision is made, don’t waste your energy on worrying if it was a good decision or not, it’s called taking chances. And chances are what we take each and every day unconsciously. From driving, to shopping for the right product or service, to deciding on what foods to eat, etc. These are all decisions we make daily and we are taking chances at all of them. We have no way to know exactly what the outcome is going to be in every decision we make, so when offered an opportunity to make a big change in our lives, why do some still hesitate? The answer: Confidence!

Having confidence in you is one of the necessary success keys to an entrepreneur. Being able to walk tall without fear or doubt about what others think or say about you determines your level of success in anything you set your mind to. One of the biggest dream stealers in life is lacking the belief and confidence needed to do what it takes to be the person you want to be or do the things you’ve always wanted to do.

No one, no matter who they are, were they’re from, what background they have, should feel inferior to anyone else’s success level. We are all the same and all have the same amount of time in a day as those with a high level of success. So lack of self-confidence should not exist in a life of abundance, were there is enough to go around for everyone.

Another aspect of mastering having the right mind-set is to set realistic expectations and hold yourself liable to those short term goals. Unrealistic goals can make a person question whether the actual goal is attainable. Don’t lose the confidence and focus in your efforts to attain your goal by making this mistake. If, for example, your goal is to make $50,000, don’t use a date that obviously is unrealistic unless you have set a definite plan of action in which you believe can be achieved.

Instead, make the amount coincide with the set time frame. That way it is more attainable and motivation will not be lost if the specific goal is not reached. You can always set a later date for the same goal and continue with your efforts in obtaining that goal. The key here is continuing to move toward your expectation with persistence and never quitting.

Most importantly, have Fun! If you’re not enjoying yourself while working at reaching those expectations, you will lose motivation and your efforts will just seem to you work. That’s the great thing about the day and age we live in. We can leverage technology to help acquire new friends and business partners if the time to physically perform this action is impossible. I’ve personally made more friends and business acquaintances through the use of online social networks than I’ve ever done personally. It just becomes impossible to physically be everywhere at once.

Having created these awesome friends give me the necessary positive environment to keep focus on my goals and keep moving ahead in life. Whether it is in person or through the use of technology, enjoy the experience of meeting new people and making new friends. Doing so keeps your mind-set laser targeted, focused, motivated, and confident that what you want out of life you will get.

With that said, I’m looking forward to hearing from all of you so feel free to leave comments or share this article with others.

Wishing You a Life of Abundance,

Pablo Gonzalez

Hi Friends,

I received this email the other day and it really resonated with me because I share the same thoughts and ideas when it comes to life and how to obtain our desires while still having peace in a troubled economy.

I love to build others up until they have the same mindset that has set me free from fear, doubt, worry and anxiety to living the life I want, when i want and how I want. No more working to make another man rich unless I’m pouring in to him what he needs to become rich on his own. To me that is not work, that is passion.

Enjoy the post below and believe in yourself. I believe in you!

FEARLESS IN DIFFICULT TIMES.

By Ton Pascal

Am I making the right choice? Should I change directions and line of work, or should I look for another job? When things are not what you used to know, and difficult times surround you at every turn, it is normal that you start questioning yourself and your motivation. BUT it is then that you need to see YOU for who you really are.

First of all, you need to believe in yourself 100%. You will also need a good dose of strong motivation, lots of positive thinking and positive attitude. Simple no? Yes, very much so, if you have, or are willing to learn how to put the above prerequisites to work.

This task can be very intimidating for people who are not very organized or detail oriented. If this is your case, talk to your friends and family about your situation. They can be a positive support. Or, it may be time to think about bringing in a life coach. Your fear and resistance will try to push you back and a strong supporter will make a huge difference in achieving your goals. This much talk about spiritual evolution didn’t start for nothing. Like it or not, we do live in a very physical, ordinary and dirty world.

If we look at statistics from the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill, Ca., 37,000 Americans die by their own hand each year, one every 16 minutes. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the U.S.A. and the third ranking killer of young people. People aged 65 and older accounted for 16% of suicide deaths in 2004 alone. Of nearly 16,000 violent deaths occurring in 16 states, 56% were suicides.

The difficult times we are facing in our world right now require a more spiritual approach to our everyday lives, I cannot emphasize it enough. More then ever, we need to assert ourselves and find our inner peace. When some people tell you “don’t be a cry baby, life is good,” what you really want to do is to slap them. You have a mortgage, or a payment due, taxes, the wife’s card, kid’s school, and God knows what, and there is no money in the bank. And life is good? It sucks!!!

“There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning,” said Christopher Morley. Being a spiritual self help advocate doesn’t mean I disagree with you. We are on the same reality page.

Here are a few easy and practical things I suggest you can do to make it through these difficult times:

1- Gratitude. Use this simple formula of Positive Attitude and gratitude. You know what it means, this positive thinking and attitude jargon. You are not a moron, but what we often forget is to give thanks for all that we have in life. Don’t resist changes and situations, it only brings anxiety and pain. Each time you are thankful, you transform that moment into positive energy, which then will transform your life.

2- Positive Affirmations. Use positive affirmations as much as possible. Do them from getting up to when you go to bed. It will imprint in your brain a new ‘positive attitude route’ to follow. You may encounter resistance from your old self to this new path, but don’t resist, and be thankful that you have these choices, and it is you who designs and creates your own reality. Make a selection of positive affirmations and paste them around your house. I have a list of them on my blog, Dream Your Life Positively, feel free to copy it. You can start with these: I am good, I am beautiful and I am successful. I am grateful for my life. I am grateful for myself. I accept only what is good and positive.

3- Visualize. Visualize your life and everything you want in a perfect state of completion. Sounds, smells, tastes, bring all these sensations into your dream. The richer and more vivid your visualizations, the sooner you will experience them in your real life. Breathe deeply and rhythmically when doing your visualizations. Deep breathing is like a deep inner cleansing. It purifies your body and your mind of all negative thoughts and feelings.

4- Meditate. In a state of relaxation, slowly bring up your problems. Learn how to look into them as a spectator. Again, don’t resist. Let them come and go without being emotionally involved with them. Don’t judge the scenarios and action playing in your mind. They are neither good nor bad. Observe them, you don’t want to control what is happening. They are situations and different options that make life interesting as it is. Your mortgage, your overdue bills, family problems will be there tomorrow, but you are now able to look at them from a different angle. Your newly learned unemotional focus allows your mind to be clear of despairing thoughts and emotions.

The above exercises have the power to move things around and these desperate challenges become positive opportunities for learning. You now welcome and give thanks for this new opening in your life. It may seem a little simplistic, the above steps, but your challenge is to do it time after time and every day of your life. There are no easy answers or quick fixes for difficult situations, but with this understanding you are a step closer to inner peace.

You were created with wonderful qualities. You are star stuff, pure energy, and a divine creation. Open yourself up and let this positive energy flow free.

Have a great journey,

Ton Pascal

I hope enjoyed the message and I look forward to connecting with anyone who is looking for change and stability in this crazy world. There is a way to have peace and work from home. You can have the desires of your heart.

God Bless,

Faith… What is it and how can I use it to build a business, grow in my current company, be a better person or use it to find something greater than myself.

I have had many ups and downs over my 38 years and even through all the chaos and good times, I’ve always had “A” faith active in my life. I have used that faith to achieve and attract some of the most incredible people and opportunities in to my life.

It’s very hard to stick to your faith when fear is prevalent in the world. All you have to do is turn on the news,  popular sitcoms and movies to see a negative world that reeks of fear which I believe is the root cause of lack and poverty outside of a lack of knowledge.

You cannot entertain faith and fear at the same time. It’s impossible. You are either walking in faith where you just know, even though there is no proof yet, that what it is you’re believing for will happen or you are walking in fear and you actually push away the very thing you desire.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. Your external vision can only see what’s going on around you but your inner vision can see whatever it wants to see and that vision is the substance of things hoped for and it’s the evidence of things not yet seen (externally).

When I knew I was led to network marketing and building an online, home based business, I won’t lie and say I wasn’t skeptical and kind of scared at first. Especially with a child on the way and the so called recession.

Skepticism is rooted in fear. Fear of the unknown and fear of getting hurt again. However, I knew that if God led me TO something, He would lead me THROUGH and see to it that I succeeded. However I do have to take action. Faith with out action is not faith.

Even in this economy that has so many people afraid and becoming scarce minded, I knew that I lived by a higher economy and had no reason to doubt. My faith is strong because I’ve built it up over the years and I still exercise it daily.

Have I asked and believed for something and never received it? Yes, many times, and if I look back I can say I didn’t get it because I had the wrong motives but today, I know my motives are pure and beneficial to many. I also stay focused on that prize or goal until I see it manifest.

There is no reason for ANYONE to ever worry about not having enough unless that’s all you think about. What you think about comes about and how can we live in lack when out of ABUNDANCE He took ABUNDANCE and still ABUNDANCE remained?

You don’t have to live in fear any longer and you don’t have to live in lack. The internet has changed everything and there is no recession on the World Wide Web. You just need to think a little differently than what you’re used to in a typical 9-5.

I can help you but only if you’re serious. I can help you build your mindset to where you will see immediate changes in your overall mood but you’ve gotta have faith!

I’m not talking about finding religion or joining a church.

I believe a Creator has created laws that govern the universe and when you become aware of them, you can tap in to them and they will work for you just like the law of agriculture, law of physics and the law of electricity. I would not say this if I hadn’t experienced it in my own life and now I walk in it daily.

Faith, without it it’s impossible to please God and you will do nothing but continue to live a mediocre, fear filled life. I believe you were created for greatness and I want to see you grow TEN FEET TALL & BULLET PROOF!

So, the next time you are wondering if you have faith or how to implement it until you see the outcome. Think upon this analogy every time you are believing for something:

You call up your local pizza joint or Asian cafe and place a delivery order. They tell you they will be there in 30 to 45 minutes and you hang up the phone. You go about your business by getting the plates, drinks and utensils out and you never doubt the food is on its way. Do you start freaking out 20 minutes later? Hardly! Even at 35 to 45 minutes you are still patient unless you’re really hungry and then maybe, you start getting a little agitated but you KNOW the food will be there. You have no reason to doubt!  It’s the same way once you “place your order”  for whatever it is you desire. Go about your business knowing it will come. Keep it rooted deep in your subconscious (spirit/heart) and be patient. Is that the doorbell I hear?

If you’re struggling with your current mindset, MLM or direct sales business I want to help you. I will teach you the skills required to build your business fast on the internet. If you don’t have a business and want to start one or need a second income, I can help you!

To Your Success,

What’s going on friends, brothers and sisters?? I just wanted to share this video with you so I could show off my beautiful family and tell you just how important it is to follow your heart and dreams.

I care about you and your future. I want to see you succeed and grow to your full potential in this life and I can help you do that. Now I can’t build anything FOR you but I can show you the door and all the tools you’ll need but it’s up to you to walk through that door.

I believe in you dagnabit! It’s time for you to start believing in yourself. Every successful person I’ve met said they started to succeed only after they believed in themselves. Goes for me too!!

Anyways. If you’re looking for a leader who cares about you and wants to help you build your current business or start a new one, then let’s hook up.

Your future awaits!

To YOUR Success,
Jeremy Johnston

Hi friends and fellow entrepreneurs,

Jeremy Johnston here and I have been struggling for months to say this, be this and do this. I am a sold out bona-fide follower of the King of Glory, the Lord of Lords and the God-man who died for my sins and yours. His name is Yeshua Ha’Mashiach or Jesus Christ to the majority. If that upsets or offends you that is entirely on you. That doesn’t mean I don’t care about you… I just want people to know where I stand and what I stand on.

Why do I say this you might ask? Because I know beyond the shadow of any doubt that the Lord directed me to online marketing. You see, I was about to be a dad and I just didn’t want to live a life where I worked in a cube farm making some other guy rich. I wanted to raise my son from home and have the life I believe I and you deserve. The problem is, we are indoctrinated with this belief that we are to go to school for 16+ years and get a good job making what our title says we can make and then retire with a gold watch.

I have found that the majority of wealthy people are the ones who have no formal education and grew from self help and hard knocks.

I have always known in my heart that I was created for great things just like you are. I felt it but I kept listening to the outside sources who had NO clue except those few who understood me.

So I worked and even though I have no formal education and dropped out of high school, God brought me a trade back in 1997 and that was computers. I went from a $7 per hour DO BOY to making 30k per year within my first year. Fast forward to 2009 and I’m just shy of 100k per year. All I did back then was pray everyday, sometimes weeping that I could have a better life. If you check out My Story you will see why.

God is good all the time. One massive revelation I’ve had is that He’s so good, He created laws that will allow anyone to prosper and enjoy a good life regardless of their belief in Him. That’s why so many believers and unbelievers alike can either be prosperous and rich while at the same time they could be poor regardless of their belief in a God.

I just want you to know that my love for this Man has brought me to a place where honesty, integrity and character are a MUST in whatever I do. I have been the bad guy and have made some grievous mistakes in the past and I learned from them. I have felt the sting of rejection from my enemies and my closest friends and family. I am here to fulfill a calling. A calling to reach those who hear me and to teach any man or woman how to build a successful online business whether it be an MLM, direct sales, affiliate marketing or even blogging.

There is over 500 MILLION dollars being traded on the internet and I want to show you how to get a humble piece of that pie. Think about it… 1% of 500 Million… yeah.. do the math and it’s not that hard to make money online WITH integrity. Everything I have on my site is legit and I have been though or reviewed everything to make sure anyone could plug in, take action and get results.

It is my deepest desire that you come to the saving knowledge of Jesus and at least do an 8th grade study of who this Man is. I’m not talking about joining a church or finding religion, I’m talking about discovering exactly who this Man is and why, after 2000 years, He’s radically changing lives and no one can get rid of Him.

Anyway, I am not here to push my faith and beliefs on you. I am here to make a stand for myself and say I will not be ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. I want everyone to know that I can be trusted and I work very hard at always being honest and transparent as well at straight up and bold in all areas.

Thanks to Coty Schwabe at www.GuruCrusher.com for his boldness because it helped me realize that God brought me here and to not openly express that is like a slap in His face. I’ve done enough of that in my lifetime so it’s time to be strong and courageous!

My name is Jeremy Johnston and I approve this message!

If you’re struggling in MLM or direct sales and you need some training please see my site and get plugged in. If you’re on my team you will get some of the best mindset resources that will create change in you almost immediately and no, it’s not Jesus crammed down your throat.

Thank you and I bless everyone that reads this post!

Your In The Mix Marketer

WOW! Who would have thought that 10 months ago I would be able to enjoy a lifestyle I could only wish for? I’m not saying that I’ve reached my first million (YET) but I will say that stepping out in faith and believing I could do this no matter what, is truly starting to pay off BIG TIME!

If you’re struggling with your current MLM or direct sales business and feel like giving up but know that your future will be very prosperous, I have great news for you. Likewise, if you are searching for a home based business and just don’t know where to start, I have great news for you as well.

What if you could finally pay off your debts, fire your boss, work from home and enjoy the lifestyle freedom you desire? What if you could plug in to a proven system unlike any other on the planet that will show you step by step, from industry leaders like myself and WHO GET MASSIVE results to do the very same in a short period of time?

I use that very system which teaches me highly coveted marketing secrets and the skills are so easy to learn it’s almost embarrassing that others aren’t doing this to dominate in their business and crush the competition. I also use another stream of income that is completely mindset based from the very man who taught Mike Dillard, Yanik Silver and Diane Hochman to name only three who have become multi-millionaires.

What a great combination don’t ya think? Getting fed the best mindset that can be used in all aspects of your life including your business AND being taught the very best marketing skills on the planet to grow your business and set you up as a leader in the industry. Remember, people follow leaders not comp plans. I could care less about a comp plan and look more at the person leading. Don’t you? If not, you should because there is nothing worse than the blind leading the blind.

I believe in you! I want to see you succeed in all areas of your life. I want to help you grow to be ten feet tall and bullet proof!

Check out how you can build any business and let’s get you plugged in today!
