My Income Increased 900%

Have you ever experienced an event that was so massively life changing, that while it was confusing and disheartening at first, that it ultimately brought clarity of mind, purpose, and vision to you?

I did. In November of 2003, my (now ex) wife filed for divorce. While I expected it, it still hit me like a dump truck full of concrete being dumped on my head.

Seemingly overnight, I went from having a home, wife, dog, 2 cars, and what I thought was a decent life, to being homeless, having only a few clothes and whatever else I had in the truck was all that I had to my name.

That’s when I went to my friend and mentor Andy Fuehl for guidance, support, and to help me keep myself together so that I could achieve a fair settlement to my divorce, get myself on track once again, and start moving forward again.

Andy had frequently been after me to attend his trainings, and up until that point, I wasn’t ready, nor was I in a state of mind that I would have been able to use that information in any form.

So, I attended the Wealth Without a Job 1 day Seminar, partly out of interest, partly because Andy had suggested that it would benefit me in getting past the divorce, as well as helping me move forward in all of my endeavors.

What I actually got out of the course was a few new friends, and a list of lessons that was longer than my arm! That was the primer for me.

From that, I found my Purpose in Life, which led to the launching of my second business, which has led to my being on the cusp of departing my J.O.B, so that I can run my companies full time.

It merits mention that I have 2 copies of Wealth Without a Job. The first copy is signed by Andy and Phil. It now sits on my desk, beat up and worn out, from all the use and reference opportunities I have made use of it for over the past year and a half or so.

The second one has become the workhorse, and I read it each morning and
evening, and during the day when I encounter a situation that I want some refresher guidance and input. It’s about the next best thing to speaking with Andy or Phil in person.

Since I took that first Wealth Without a Job seminar, I have also attended Win the Money Game and Win the Sales Game 2 day seminar 4 times, and I constantly learn new things each time.

I will also be attending the upcoming Win the Money Game II and Win the Sales Game II seminars in July to further grow exponentially in both my personal life and my professional aspirations.

My experience in working with Andy & Phil is common, from what they have shared with me.

People that make the effort to learn, grow internally, and put aside their fears and work through them, are the people that achieve the greatest returns in the long run.

A wise man once said, “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.” I agree with that, and it applies directly to all of us. The longer we work for “the man”, the more we line his pockets with gold, which enables him to perpetuate that circle forever.

By realizing that it is we who can change that, by taking the necessary steps to achieve our dreams, goals, and through living our true purpose as entrepreneurs, we step up, we serve people in a manner that they truly deserve. We improve people’s quality of life through the products and services that we provide. And we build wealth in the process, for ourselves, our families, and our staff members.

To me, it’s pretty evil to have our prosperity dictated to us by anyone other than ourselves. Would you rather be told what your time is worth, or would your prefer to be paid what you think you’re worth?

At my job, I make just over $20 an hour, which is pretty good in the Job world. Conversely, when I am operating my business, I have made in excess of $180 an hour! My Income Increased 900%.

Which would you rather put in your pocket?

See you at the next seminar!
