Nelson Mandela

I was going through an Inner Circle training with Chris Record and looked him up on Google and the article that came up on his Empower Network blog was about some quotes from Nelson Mandela.

The quote, ”Money won’t create success, the freedom to make it will.” got my attention because it points out a very critical point I have been thinking about for a long time.

How is it possible in today’s world, the western world of free enterprise, especially the United States, that everyone is not making a lot of money?  Folks the United States is the Disney World of opportunity, there is no limit on it, we have the freedom to make as much money as we want. 

The reason why people don’t make money is that most people work at a job and make a limited income. Okay, so you can manage your money, invest and crawl out over many years of prudence, but the truth is, most jobs don’t pay you what I call freedom money. I’m not saying jobs are a bad thing, they aren’t, they are a place to start, but it is not the place to end or to break free. 

Let’s take the Empower Network as one example. What a freaking opportunity! We live in a world where a company like the Empower Network is possible! We should be jumping up and down for joy!  What a gift!

Ordinary people can learn to market their business, the Empower Network or anything else, get crazy amounts of visitors to what it is you are doing and can help you increase your sales for anything you want to sell. 

The Empower Network is awesome because basically they give you the products to sell as if you were the one who created them, giving you commissions based on a 100% commission idea and a pass up compensation plan that is extremely powerful and most importantly unlimited. 

Now, is there any guarantee that you will earn a dime? No, of course not, it is a business, your business, and not an investment where returns are promised. But, with this business a one time investment can lead to sales over and over and over again. 

We have the freedom to earn as much as we want, we have the tools and the infrastructure to facilitate it, yet there is this huge resistance to it and I simply don’t understand why.

When I hear people complain about barely making ends meet I can’t take them seriously, because I know the only reason why that is is because they aren’t doing what it takes to make more money. Obviously getting more jobs isn’t going to be the answer. The only answer is to own your own business. 

I think the most patriotic thing you can do is to have a business. The geniuses of the constitution wrote it so every man can be his own king. But, we sell ourselves into submission by working for someone else and do nothing to increase our ability to sell. 

The internet has exploded the opportunity to new levels. I like virtual online information products because honestly, we have enough physical crap in the world as it is. Education is unlimited in its scope and can be produced and sold to make money.

With the Empower Network, it is education on how to market. So essentially, you have a great product to sell, that you can use to educate yourself and give yourself skills with and you have a compensation plan that lets you earn all of the money, minus fees obviously, to an unlimited number of people.

The only thing stopping you is you. That is the truth.

Want for the ecomonic troubles of the world to be solved? Make entrepreneurship the desired form of money making over jobs.

I know great sales people who work hard and use their talents to sell a company’s products and they do make good money. These companies aren’t stupid, they know that this is the name of the game. But, these sales people are making a fraction of what they could make as an entrepreneur. I wished I had their skill, which is what I am aquiring.

You are only as free as you allow yourself to be. That is the bottom line.
