You know, that is the idea to get fired up about your future. Gene has called all his friends and told them he is going to be rich and he told his friends that he is going to teach them and help them become rich. He is fired up!
That is what we do. We were fired up about becoming rich and free, when we took the step to join the freedom project. And our friends, and are all of us in the Freedom Project. So do it like my son did. Tell everyone what you want to become. My son wants to become rich. So Peggy Listen I am going to be Rich, filthy rich. My timeline is three to five years where I could absolutely retire from my J.O.B. I will not quit the Freedom Project because I want to be free from corporate America.
As most of you know, Corporate America’s plan is for you to get an academic education, find a job, buy a house, have kids and retire poor. Retire poor because they have your money. I don’t want to retire just to live off my kids. I would rather give them things they want and desire.
There were many lessons to be learned at the seminar which directly correlates with the Freedom Project.
The first day at the seminar had to do with the outline of the program and putting all the participants in the right mind set. One of the things they spoke about is being in business.
I have to tell you folks, what we do is a business! And there are only two outcomes in this business as in any business. Just two outcomes; Success or Failure.
The good thing is we define our success. Yes We Define our success. If Success is an additional 300 a month to you, that is success. You met your goal. If half a million a year is your definition of success in the Freedom Project and you meet that goal, you are successful. I have not set a date with that goal yet but when I figure it out I will let you know.
I am glad Roger Barnett offers incentives like cars and trips. All that is wonderful. But that is not my definition of success. My initial success is to get a J.O.B. meaning Just Over Broke
Why do I want a job? I just started in this business so I need an income. I also want to tell the company I may work for, in two years or less mind you, I will tell my boss, Good by I won’t be seeing you! I just came in today because I want my paycheck to remind me of how broke I was working for you.
Some of you are new to this. Some have been doing this for a while. I have told everyone I can, that I am in business; my business name is Gene’s Mini Office Outlets. Have you told almost everyone you know you are in business and your business name? I have.
I think telling everyone that you are in business lets you know that you are serious about this business. I did not say that it lets everyone know that you are serious about this business. I said that it tells yourself that you are serious. If you are not serious about this business why should your prospects and your sponsored people think that this is a serious business. I spend between six and ten hours a day on my business. If I was working it may be much less but my free time I would work on my business. I have not sponsored anyone yet and all that means is I need to work harder learning what to do. I read, I watch instructional videos, I listen to tapes, I listen to recorded conference calls. I go to conference calls. It is hard for me to do the conference calls at night but soon they will be part of my schedule. I also call Peggy almost daily. As a manager and supervisor I spoke to my bosses everyday giving them reports and going over any new brilliant ideas they came up with. I don’t have much to report to Peggy but she does have a lot working knowledge and great advice to give me. Isn’t it better to receive free knowledge than have to pay for it? I think so. So I call Peggy.
Going to the Rich Dad education did two things. One it open my son’s eyes that he does not want a J.O.B. Gene wants money to work for him instead him working for money. Its called leveraging. Leveraging is where you use someone else’s money or time and effort to make money. In Real Estate you are most likely to use someone else’s money to make money. In network marketing you are leveraging your up line to educate yourself on how to do this business. You then leverage your down line to duplicate the process taught to you and to duplicate your efforts by the effect of multiplication.
The second lesson learned at Rich Dad Education is: applied knowledge is power. As a business person you may come to these conference calls every time. You may read everything the Freedom Project gives you. You may even go to Shaklee University. But until you apply your knowledge and skill sets that are taught to you. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. I learned some things about advertising this week and I applied the knowledge. They gave me a month for free. Their advertising system still will not meet my expectations but they gave me another month of advertising for free. I will take free advertising. I applied my knowledge. Applying what you have learned and applying the skill set you have practiced will make something happen. Not applying your knowledge and skill sets nothing will happen. My prospect, Mike, was the first I did the initial call and Meet and greet by myself. I was confident because I practiced and went on ride alongs with Peggy. I felt I had enough knowledge and enough skill sets to do this one on my own. Peggy felt confident in me too. By applying my knowledge and skill sets I gained experience. So applied knowledge is power. Something happened when I applied my knowledge with Mike. I gained experience.
Side note: Peggy will be helping me with the Classrooms with Mike
One last thing. Priorities. I have a real tough time with my living situation. I live with my ex wife. When we were married it did not work. I can assure you living with her now does not work.
The living situation I am in is not conducive to having a business in the freedom project. I can go live somewhere else but it would be without my kids. I will not have any of that. I did not start having kids at thirty years old to leave them now. Once I find a job and find my own place. I can assure you they will live with me. They will want to because they know they are my number one priority.
Well, you may ask, where does my business, Gene’s Mini Office Outlets fit on my list of priorities? My business is number one on the list with my children. Let me tell you why. If I do not follow through with my goals and expectations of myself in my business, I will become a burden, not a father, a burden on my children’s future. I do not want or desire this. I am sure they don’t either. This business is my priority. I would rather be a provider than my children’s burden.
Thank you
Any questions?
