School's in! Time to look back

I took this entire summer off and we still earned more than we used to make going to work every day. Would you like to duplicate our results? I assure you that it is easier than you think to accomplish this goal!

More on this in a minute. I first want to share with you why I am choosing to blog about this today. There are several reasons.

I am sure you are aware that is now the beginning of August. Summer is just about over and we will soon be looking towards the end of 2009. I will be going out shortly to take Carter and Morgan shopping for new school clothes. Morgan is VERY excited to be starting preschool this year at the same school her big brother attends.

Several years ago I learned the power of reflection from the incredible Mr. Jim Rohn. Jim teaches you should set aside some time to reflect - at the end of each day, each week, each month, and finally at the end of the year. After all, if you don't monitor your results how can you ever know if you are on track to claim your dreams? The truth is you can't. And so, I set aside some time each evening, just before bed, to look back on my day or my week or my month and take stock of where I am and where I want to be. Since I have adopted this philosophy the results in every area of my life have been amazing.

As I write this, it is almost 3:00pm CST here in Arkansas. And while it's not the end of the day or even the week or the month, the grandkids and our upcoming shopping trip for school made me realize that summer is almost over and fall will soon be upon us. Before you know it, we will be planning Halloween costumes, whose house to spend Thanksgiving at, and what to get the grandkids for Christmas. It made me start looking back on my year so far and getting extremely excited for what's ahead.

How has 2009 been for you so far? Are you on track to achieve your goals? Are you one step closer to achieving your BIG dreams? I truly hope you are. However, the sad but true fact is that most people are not making progress in their life. They are either exactly were they were last year or even worse they are quickly moving backwards.

If what I described sounds familiar to you... intimately familiar (if you know what I mean) I have GREAT news for you. You can decide today to make 2009 the best year you have ever lived. It's not too late!

Every year I strive to improve on last years results. As 2009 rapidly winds down I am extremely proud to say that we are finishing up our best year EVER financially. Here is the key. Every year in late December I make the decision to make the following year even better. I may not always know exactly how I am going to do this at that point. But I set the goal and that's the first step. The how-to's always come to me along the way.

Now, I don't tell you this to brag or impress you. I simply tell you this to demonstrate that you too can create amazing results, in every area of your life, if you are just willing to take consistent, persistent and massive action! I learned that from the fabulous Barefoot Exec - the key to success is massive action to completion!

I also want to let you know that my success did not come over night. At one point right after I left the military, I was earning a whopping $500 a month! Try living on that! Now, we can thankfully look back and laugh at it.

Even back then when we were extremely broke financially our spirits were NEVER broken. This may be hard to believe but we were still very happy. I grew up poor (and I do mean poor!) so I knew all about making every nickel work. We may not have had the big cars and the fancy clothes or the house we live in now, but I learned from my childhood that none of that really mattered. We had our family and working together to meet life's challenges each day just brought us closer together. We knew our financial predicament was just a temporary inconvenience and we would be in better shape soon enough.

It was never a matter of if we were going to be successful it was just a matter of when! I used to tell my children "we could only go up from here." That was really the only direction we could go at that point.

Since then, we have experienced success beyond anything we ever dreamed. We still don't have the big cars or the fancy clothes - because they aren't important. But we have a house with room for all the kids and grandkids, and land for them to run and play, and have dogs or whatever sort of pet they want. The youngest wants a goat. I don't know anything about raising goats but I expect I'll be learning soon enough! We have the luxury of sending them to a good Christian school where we know they are not only getting a firm academic foundation but a MORAL one as well. We travel when we choose and spend time with each of our 7 grandchildren as often as they want - which is not as often as we want!

Although we have been fortunate enough to experience incredible results, especially these last few years, we didn't do it alone. I had many mentors who guided me along the way. One of the BIGGEST keys to our success is the fact that we have always been and continue to remain willing to listen to the advice of those who have gone before. Why reinvent the wheel?

As you read this you are probably asking yourself what in the heck does this have to do with me. Here is what it has to do with you...

Dearl and I, as well as the incredible business partners and leaders we personally work with want to mentor you to MASSIVE SUCCESS in 2009 only if you fit the following criteria:

#1 You are the type of person who is willing to listen to the advice of those who are already where you want to be.

Most people fail in life because of two reasons - they are continually trying the "next big thing" and they don't listen to the advice of others. There is no need for that. We already have proven methods to teach you that are working tremendously well right now!

#2 You have a burning desire to make 2009 the absolute BEST year of your entire life. And in every single area of your life, not just financially. Balance is KEY to massive success and TRUE wealth. I repeat - it's not too late! You can still have a year that is filled with success!

There is much more to life than just being successful in business. If you are ever going to be TRULY wealthy you must have abundance and wealth in every area of your life. I know plenty of people who are well off financially but they absolutely hate their lives.

I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the two above ingredients are all that you require to make tremendous transformations in your life.

Now, once you have these ingredients, the last piece of the puzzle is a vehicle to get you to your goals and dreams quickly. I have been working from home for almost 5 full years. I am involved with an opportunity that I feel gives average people, like you and me, the GREATEST shot at massive success from home. In a moment I am going to provide you with a link to review this opportunity 24/7. But you don't even have to be part of my team achieve success.

Let me first tell you what this opportunity has done for us.

In this past month I have earned more than most people make. (We do this every single month. Believe it or not this is not the amazing part.)

Here is the best part... I took nearly the entire summer off and still achieved these incredible results. In early April my newest grandson was born. I took time off to help my daughter with her two other children while she accustomed herself to having one more little one in the house. We also spent nearly three weeks Corpus Christi visiting our other daughter and our new granddaughter. We were only back home in Arkansas for a few weeks and then left for Jacksonville for the birth of yet one more grandchild. Those were all happy occasions and I know some of you are thinking that those trips weren't necessary. You don't travel that much and you don't pay for private school. You make enough to pay your bills and still be comfortable. But shortly after we returned home, Dearl had a heart attack. I took time off to be with him while he recovered. How many of you have had a major illness with a spouse or child and wished that you could be there but instead you had to go to work every day? Our business still rolled on bringing in the cash for us.

Much more important than our own results are the results of the people we work with. There our countless people on our team generating amazing results for themselves and their family as well. This is where my true passion is. I get the most excitement from assisting others to create tremendous results in their own lives!

If you know you have what it takes to be MASSIVELY successful in 2009 you owe it to yourself to take a VERY serious look at what I am doing.

If you are sick and tired of being sick and tired visit www.fhtmus.com/wealthtogether
RIGHT NOW and review all of the information. (Yes, this is the canned company site! I want you to see you don't even have to know how to build a website! I didn't when I started!)

If this opportunity isn't for you, then please - find something. There are so many good business opportunities out there. Once you find your vehicle to the top, stop by this blog and take advantage of the coaching we provide here. Tune in to my teleseminars and listen to my amazing guests as they share their knowledge and experience. Some require a fee but many are absolutely free! Visit the sites of the many mentors I list and learn from them as I have.

Dearl and I look forward to working with you very soon! One of our main goals for 2009 was to assist as many people as possible to turn their annual income into their monthly income. I am VERY proud to say we assisted many, many people to achieve this goal. In 2010 we are looking to dramatically increase the # of people we assist to do this.

The only question right now is will you be one of the people who achieves this goal in 2009 or one of the people who lets opportunity pass them by?

And now I'm off to do some school shopping with two of my biggest reasons for doing what I do!
