What are you waiting for?
by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
One day years ago when I was having dinner with her in New York City, the celebrated entertainer Pearl Bailey told me in her inimitable way: "I've been rich. And I've been poor. Rich is better!" We laughed... and the conversation went on, but the comment reverberated: "Rich IS better!"
EVERYBODY wants to be rich, of course; that's a given.. However, being rich is not a condition; it's a process that each and every wealthy person must master. If not, this is what happens: "A fool and his money are soon parted." That will never do.
"The rich are different than you and me."
The writer F. Scott Fitzgerald, who wanted so very desperately to be rich, knew whereof he spoke. It's not just that they have money.. it's that they know how to use it for maximum comfort and convenience. You probably don't.
The average un-rich person thinks that being rich is like a fairy tale; once you're rich you simply live happily ever after. Nothing could be further from the truth. The business of being rich takes constant work, dedication, knowledge, and professional assistance. Being rich is a job, and like all jobs there are those who can do it successfully and there are those who cannot.
Rich people have help. You don't.
The "silver fork" novels of the early 19th century deal endlessly with "the servant problem." It's easy to see why. When you have the means, you want the help; but this help needs constant management.
Do you know how to select, manage and maintain
* house cleaners * chauffeur * cook * people to run your errands * and those to take care of clothes and personal effects?
Rich people have the luxury of being waited on. However, such assistance comes at a price. People who serve you have substantial access... and they can use this access for good or will. There is an old saying: "No man is a hero to his valet." As a wealthy person, you will want an enhanced level of service... but will you be ready for the diminished privacy this brings?
You must have financial representatives and ensure they produce for you
Money cannot simply be earned and left to itself; its increase must be your constant objective and goal. That's why each and every rich person on earth has one or (more likely) more financial representatives. It is only in fairy tales where "the king is in the counting house...." In real life, that's where his "people" hang out... preparing reports showing escalating wealth or grounds for concern.
Rich people understand that money, properly handled, begets more money. Thus, selecting and working with smart people who can take your fortune and increase is key.
Who have you got advising you these days and are they proving by tangible results that they are worthy of assisting you grasp and maintain the lifestyle you truly want?
These representatives must deal with
* your current income requirements
* tax issues
* estate issues.
Because of their pivotal importance in your life, you must be prepared not just to select them, but oversee and manage them too. This is one of the crucial aspects of your new life as a rich person. It's not all champagne and yachts, you see, and only the uninitiated are so naive to think so.
Prepare for the exigent, the wheedling and those who feel you should support them because YOU are rich!
People without means have the enduring belief that the rich are here for their benefit, with the result that rich people find themselves the focus of constant, annoying wheedling by the down-at-heel.
Count on it: your riches will draw forth a legion of beggars, distant family, long-ago friends... and never-ending solicitations from endless "worthy" causes and organizations. Be prepared to learn how to hear with attention but refuse without regret.
Last Words
Being rich will change you in ways subtle and substantial.
* You will not have to dream. Instead, you can plan.
* You will have at your disposal the most important thing in life: choice
* You will know deference, an enchanting thing the poorer never receive.
What's more, as compound interest, time, and financial growth work for you, you will surely know the best is yet to be!

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant
You've heard it and said it since you were a kid: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." That's definitely true if you are the recipient of the words... but absolutely wrong if you are the sender. You see, language completely defines who you are, what you will do, and the level of success you can achieve. If "you are what you eat," it is also absolutely true "You are what you say."
That's why I've identified 7 key phrases that are holding you back, 7 phrases which you must IMMEDIATELY eradicate from your speech as they threaten your success!
1) "I'll do it tomorrow."
Want success? Then understand that "tomorrow" is the enemy of "today." How many people do you know who have a "manana" mentality, always willing to put off until tomorrow that which could so easily be done today.
People who succeed in life are people who do today what can be done today, never allowing themselves the luxury of postponement. These words, then, must be the first to expunge ... and never allow your brain to think. "Carpe diem" must forever be your guide.
2) "I'll make do."
Now hear this: successful people never "make do." Making do is for people who have convinced themselves that they will be happy with less. This, of course, is the direct opposite of what truly successful people think, say, and do.
To the successful, "making do" means imposing restrictions on who you are and what you could achieve if you made achievement, rather than its opposite, your objective. No great thing, no worthy thing, no meaningful or awesome thing has ever emerged when the person in charge said these words. So banish them at once from your vocabulary; if you keep them you will surely get the less you say satisfies and nothing more. Is that what you want?
3) "I'm a survivor."
Initially this may seem positive, but upon further thought you will come to see how invidious this phrase really is. No successful person is merely a survivor; such people do not merely continue to exist (which is what survival means). Instead, they ascend beyond mere existence to the superior state of flourishing.
Thus, instead of touting the mere ability to get by, give yourself a better objective by saying: "I am not merely a survivor. Instead I flourish." (Note: Floreat Etona is the motto of England's most prestigious and influential school, the school that has provided generations of leaders. Let the slogan work its magic for you, too.)
4) "I'm fixing to do it."
Take a close look at these words.
They do not say "I am doing it."
They say "I'm thinking about getting around to doing it."
Now, it should be obvious that truly successful people don't brag about how they are "about" to do something. No, indeed. These people, the people we want to be like and emulate, are people who are masters of "do". And you must be, too. Drop "fixin" from your vocabulary forthwith.
5) "Working on it."
Here's another deceptive phrase which makes non English speakers scratch their heads in bafflement. The phrase, you see, seems to mean one thing, but actually means quite another.
"Working on it" means the complete reverse. It does not mean that a thing is being attended to, completion in sight. It means, instead, that the thing in question is not being attended to, has not been started, and that no completion date can be seen because none has been set. Oh, my!
"Working on it" is a phrase beloved of procrastinators, the slothful and slow-walkers worldwide because it gives them cover for the work they are assuredly are not doing and the success they will not achieve because of it.
6) "It's good enough for me."
This potent phrase has destroyed success for millions worldwide, generation after generation. Success means constant application, work, a vivid striving after success and the thrill that comes from having achieved it.
By contrast, the minute you utter the word "enough" you have signalled an end to absolutely everything necessary to achieve success, including success itself.
"It's good enough" could hardly be worse for your aspirations, strangling success in its cradle and leaving you with crumbs. "There is nothing quite so bad," wrote the insightful Oscar Wilde, "as that which is good enough." This is why you must banish this corrosive phrase at once. Only the good can be good enough for you!
*7) "I could never do that."
Are you one of the legions of people who use these killer words? Be advised: success cannot flourish in this inhospitable terrain.
People who demand success empower themselves by creating an environment where the goal of success is never undercut by the words they use and the thoughts they think. For such people, the keynote is positive potential, not instantaneous death by your own hand.
You see, if you say you cannot do the thing in question, then most assuredly you will not achieve that thing. As Henry Ford, master of the practical, the richest man of his time, rightly said: "You think you can. You think you can't. Either way you're right."
Last Words
Success at the best of times is generally difficult to achieve. Why, then, make it even more difficult by sabotaging yourself, diminishing success by empowering failure? Your thoughts, your words are your realities. Negative words, restricting words, words that sabotage rather than improve and inspire must be rooted out and destroyed.
YOU must create for yourself an environment where the total focus, including every word you utter, facilitates achievement and does not handicap it. Start by eradicating these 7 invidious phrases, replacing them with those that enrich, improve... and never impede. At once, your trek to success becomes decidedly easier. Yes, you are on your way!
This astonishing phrase is dynamite, a sure-fire indicator that the person who thinks and utters it will have the most meager portion of success. In short, it undermines, sabotages and otherwise strangles the very possibility of success.
What stimulates success is the keen desire to be better, to have better, to live better.

As you might have guessed, affiliate search engine marketing has become one of the quickest ways to make a fast buck online. In fact, many business owners have jumped on the affiliate marketing bandwagon as a way to promote their companies.
On the other hand, affiliate search engine marketing is a surefire way for anyone to begin a home-based business. You see affiliate marketing is the best of both worlds.
Don?t worry; if this is the first time you?ve heard of this unique type of marketing you are not alone. But more on that later. You may not know this but search engine marketing has taken the world by storm.
Listen to me carefully now. Many people are using this technique successfully. But many others treat affiliate marketing like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Bear with me as tell you how to get started.
Here goes?
For starters, you?ll be glad to know that affiliate search engine marketing is easy to understand. Quite simply, as an affiliate marketer you will be promoting websites and rewarded for sending visitors or customers to the site.
Understand this: compensation varies depending on the type of program you choose to promote. For instance, some websites will pay for every visitor you send to their site. However, other sites pay you a percentage of the sale of a product or service
If you think that?s nothing, think again. One sale could net you a profit of $50 or more. It?s true; some products are priced lower than that. But the beauty of affiliate programs is the fact that you get to choose which products you promote.
Honestly, you can choose to only promote programs that pay no less than $20. It?s all up to you.
Here?s something else. If you need a way to promote you home based business, affiliate marketing could be the diamond in the rough you?ve been looking for.
In this case you recruit affiliates to promote your site for you. And get this: you don?t have to pay them unless they meet certain criteria. For example you could pay them based on the action the customer performs such as filling out a form, or per sale.
What this all boils down to is that you can get your site promoted for you with will little effort of your own. Look, I?m not kidding around. The majority of business owners choose a pay per sale program.
Here is the reason why?they never have to pay out a dime unless the affiliate makes a sale. It?s a win-win situation for both.
And best of all, you can make a full time income promoting other companies products and services. Just let this sink in for minute - affiliate search engine marketing may be one the best ways to become financially secure. But don?t take my word for it. Try it for yourself.
