For the masses the lights they see are the train comin at them.

From the April 4th Wall Street Journal;

* The average hourly earnings in March were flat for the fourth time in five months with an annual growth rate of 1%, the lowest in 25 years
* The consumer price index (inflation) jumped 2.1% in February year-over-year
* US household incomes peaked in 1999 and have fallen 5% since according to census data
* As of January 1st 85% of boomers over 55 YO have less than $50,000 saved for retirement
* 25 million Americans have less than $1000. saved for retirement.

Do your math. To retire on $3000. per month at today’s interest rates (the high-end CD rate is 2% according to Bankrate.com) you and I would need to have a whopping $1.75 Million in the bank. So you say; “I already know that”. Great! What are you doing about it ???

The question is; which is going to be more “doable” – saving $2 million doing what you’re doing now? or Getting to work – part time – starting another stream of income by building a business that produces $3000. per month of passive residual-don’t-have-to-get-out-of-bed income? You choose > Examples include > real estate rental income, internet marketing, network marketing, write a book, produce a CD, or other.

Use fear as fuel. Find a coach or mentor, get started and let your Light shine brighter than the train’s.

Think you’re selling XYZ product? The real product you offer people is YOU. First and foremost.

Business owner’s – especially in franchises and Network Marketing companies – often think they’re in the “selling” business when in fact we’re all in the “attraction” business. Attracting the right customers and business partners.

So how do you become more “attractive”? Think “garbage in = garbage out“.

In a survey of the top 100 income earners just in one company and of the 1500 attendees my wife presented to at last week’s “Success Summit” here’s what Darren Hardy’s Success Magazine discovered;

From the 1500: 55% watch more than 5 hours of TV per week
From the Top 100 income earners: 83% watch less than 5 hours per week.

From the 1500: 60% spend less than $500. per year on books, tapes, seminars.
From the Top 100 income earners: 65% spend more than $1000. per year on Books, Tapes and Seminars.

Where do you start? Read 10 pages of a business or personal development book recommended by your Coach everyday. That would take an average reader less than 30 minutes. Which roughly equals; Improving yourSelf 1/10th of 1% per work day = 1/2 of 1% per week = 2% per month = 26% per year = compounded = doubles every 2.7 years = 1000% improvement in 10 years! Now that’s attractive!

“Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and grossly underestimate what they can do in a decade.” — Anthony Robbins

A faster way to learn and improve and become more attractive? Attend live business presentations and company events – with guests. Because with guests you become an active listener/learner vs just a warm butt in a seat burning up time and oxygen.

Invest in yourSelf because you’re Worth it.
