Do you want to Fire your Boss ?

Message of Being a Winner and a Human Being

Be careful who you listen to, and take advice from when it comes to making money in your business.

Recently, I read a critical review of Empower Network as a business model.

(so this person can save face, I'll leave their name out of it)

The review was extremely well written as a review, criticizing our marketing training, skewed entirely towards the negative. To be
exact, it had around 3,000 words, was 2 pages long, and had one positive thingt to say about us.

In the comments, the author was responding to every single comment, with responses like "if only people knew the better way... the real online business model... they would never fall for this sort of thing..."

Here's the thing - the site actually LOOKED like someone who makes money.

(By the way, it's rare for people who ACTUALLY make money to directly spend a lot of time criticizing other businesses)

It had good design, decent lead capture functions, and was ranked in the top 12,000 most trafficked blogs online.

It SEEMED like the person was an expert at making money online through blogging... and I even thought they must.

After all, back my 3rd month online - I was making $30,000 a month selling stuff that was impossible to sell, that payed from 20-40% commissions - with a shitty design, a slow loading site, database issues, and working out of a tiny spare room in my parents house in Alaska.

So this site - the top 12,000 online, beautiful design, a list of 19,000 subscribers - this person is an EXPERT at running a business online, right?

Well, I thought so, which is why I was perplexed by the review... until I poked around on the site for 5 minutes and found... (get this) this person ACTUALLY reports how much money they make.

I saw that, and immediately clicked on the most recent report, from October of 2012... I figured - man, this lady must be banking!!!

LOL!

Net income for the month of October? LESS than $700.

Less than $700!

When I had 1,000 people on my list, selling affiliate products, blogging from a shitty design, my income was $30,000 a month - and here is a person, with 20,000 subscribers - blogging for 3 years, who isn't making an AVERAGE American income, criticizing our training!

LMAO!

Seriously?!?!?!?!???? Your going to criticize a business model that has done $20.4 million in sales in 12 months blogging - when you're a blogger that makes LESS than $700 a month with a list that's 19 times the size of my list when I was making $30,000 a month? YOU are going to criticize ME?

"Everyone, save the people from that aweful Empower Network, where people make money blogging... Do it my way!!! It's better! After all, they had way over 500 people last month make more than me, 50 employees who make more than me... ALL of whom know less technical skills... and work less hard at this... but - my way is better! Listen to me! Give me attention, too! I'm an expert... and I can teach you how to be a guru, too... a guru who ALMOST is making $700 a month after my third year... Follow me, and maybe you'll make $700 in 3 years, too!"

How about the unethical practice of criticizing a business teaching people to make money online, and pretending you're an expert, when you can't even make an AVERAGE American income? Last month - we had nearly 700 people make more money than you, mystery blogger.

So here's my advice:

Take your criticism on how we run our business, roll it into a ball, and shove it up your ass. Keep being broke.

"Nobody ever built a statue to a critic." -unknown

Again, this affirmed several things that I've known, and taught for years:

1. People who make money don't directly attack each other generally. It's a waste of our time. (notice how I left this person's name out - and please, leave it out of the comments if you know who it is - this is not a bad person, they just have some poverty issues.)

2. Critics are generally broke.

3. Technical skills do not make money. Pretty sites don't make money. Good marketing makes money.

4. What we give people at Empower Network is extraordinary, in both value, community, our products, and our ability to make money blogging, and marketing. There isn't really anything like what we do online.

5. It's best to ignore the complete, absolute, total losers out there, who spend hours, weeks, and days being negative, criticizing others, and pretend that they're being 'fair' and 'unbiased'

Why? It's because of the truth:

There is no such thing as an 'unbiased' opinion. All perceptions in life are controlled by our beliefs, focus, and perception - when we have a belief - it is by definition biased.

6. It's important to realize, if you're going to be biased, be biased and rich - control your attention, and focus on people who can ACTUALLY help you get what you want.

Here's who those people are not:

People who are not making any money, and are spending an enormous amount of time criticizing others to get attention, who can't make any money with all their 'guru hood' and wisdom.... can only help you have what they have - which is..... (drum roll):

A crappy, miserable existence, that they are doing their best to project on to you. Protect your mind. Ignore the wussies.

I think when we first launched, people thought when I made fun of Gurus, it was people like Dillard, Seig, Ray and Fernie, Budd, etc. Not the case - those guys know what they're doing.

I'm slamming the people who think that they are a guru, and that you need to be like them - who don't know what they are doing, don't know how to sell, have never made a lot of money in their life in this business - who lead you astray.

It's time for YOU to get a massive, unbelievable result in your business.

Hit 'like' if you think people making $700 a month have no right in business to criticize the marketing effectiveness of a business that's doing $5 million in sales a month.

Hit 'share' if you think it's important to listen to people who ACTUALLY know how to get what you want.

Love you all.

God Has Humor

 

On the first day, God created the dog and said, sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this I will give you a life span of twenty years. The dog said, “That’s a long time to be barking. How

about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?” And God said that it was good.
On the second day, God created the monkey and said, “Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.”
The monkey said, “Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?”
And God again said that it was good.
On the third day, God created the cow and said, “You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.”
The cow said, “That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?”
And God agreed it was good.
On the fourth day, God created humans and said, “Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.”
But the human said, “Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?”
“Okay,” said God, “You asked for it.”
So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.
Life has now been explained to you.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I’m doing it as a public service. If you are looking for me I will be on the front porch.

How to Save Money and Get Discount Health Insurance Michigan

As is the case in most states, buying health insurance coverage in Michigan can be confusing. There are two general types of insurance. The first is group health insurance coverage. This is the best choice because it is typically offered by an employer and results in much lower premiums for the insured. The second choice is an individual health insurance plan. If you don't have access to group insurance, this will be the route you need to take. If that's the case one of your main focuses will be how to save money and get discount health insurance in Michigan.

The type of health insurance plan you decide on will be determined by your own unique set of circumstances. If you are a single person you can expect to pay less than someone who is looking for a policy that will protect them, their spouse and their children. It's important to have a clear idea of what coverage you feel is mandatory before collecting any quotes.

Fee-for-service is the most popular type of private health insurance offered in the state. This involves the insured having to pay for every service they receive. A portion of the complete cost of the service is covered by the insurance company, and the insured is left to pay for the remainder. One of the most appealing aspects about this particular type of health insurance is that you can pick your own doctor or treatment facility. This is very important to many people.

After you've decided on a health insurance plan be careful about how you pay your premiums. You may find a discount health insurance policy only to discover that you are responsible for service charges if you decide to pay monthly. Ask about this before making any payment arrangements so you can ensure you are indeed enjoying the lowest price possible.

How to Save Money and Get Discount Health Insurance in Oregon

Oregon is a great state to live if you are looking for discount health insurance. Even if you have no health insurance, Oregon's Prescription Drug Program went into effect at the end of 2006, providing deep discounts on prescription drugs to just about all residents of the state, regardless of income.

According to the Insurance Division of the State of Oregon, 39% of the citizens of Oregon are currently covered by one of the major private health insurers in the state. Many more families are covered by employer-supplied health insurance.

For those seeking discount health insurance in Oregon on their own, here are a few things to keep in mind.

One of the main ways in which people balance the cost of health care is through the raising or lowering of their plan's deductible. A deductible is the amount of money you pay out of your own pocket for your health needs before your insurance begins paying. The larger the deductible, the lower the monthly premiums you'll have to pay.

One of the best ways to keep health care costs down is to make a list of exactly what you and your family need most from health insurance. Do you need to have routine doctor visits covered? Do you foresee any hospital stays in the coming year? Are prescriptions your main concern? Is there a chronic health need in your family that needs to be addressed? Can you put aside enough cash to cover a larger deductible?

Once you know exactly what your family's primary needs and concerns are, there are several websites which allow for side-by-side comparisons of policy costs based on the criteria which you have determined are most important to you.

By taking the time to make a list of your major insurance needs and then comparing policies online, you and your family should be able to save money and get the discount health insurance that you need and deserve.

How to Save Money and Get Discount Health Insurance in Maine

The law in Maine regarding health insurance is very clear. Anyone in the state who applies for individual health insurance must be sold a policy. If you do have a pre-existing condition, you should know that health insurance companies in Maine do not have to pay any benefits that relate directly to that condition for the first twelve months after you purchase the policy.

If you are healthy and haven't been diagnosed with anything serious, this is the time to invest in health insurance in Maine. This is one of the main reasons it's often suggested that a young person buy a health insurance policy. At the top of most people's agenda when it comes to medical insurance, regardless of their age, is the cost. This protection can be expensive if you don't fully understand what it is you need and the various ways you can save money.

One way many people in Maine save money and get discount health insurance is by contacting several different vendors to get a quote. This means calling various insurance companies so you can get a clear idea of how much they would charge you for coverage. Once you've done this you can then compare the prices and levels of coverage from one insurance company to another to determine which offers the best deal for your unique situation.

Obviously if you are insuring your entire family as opposed to just yourself, it will cost more as well. You may be able to save some money by removing your college age child from your insurance. Many colleges now offer low cost health insurance to students under a group plan. If this is the case you'll likely find that the premium for the group plan at school is much less than the portion of the premium of the individual plan that is dedicated to the child.

Save Time, Money and Health - Plan Your Menu Ahead

If you're the typical American family, you're probably part of a two-couple household, both of whom work, maybe with a few children still at home. Or becoming more typical is the single working person either working outside the home or running a home-based business. Whichever category you fall into, the fact is, we are all very busy and often what, where, when, and how we eat is on the low end of the priority list.

However, with more and more information becoming evident about how what we put in our bodies affects our health, we should be more concerned with what, where, when, and how we eat. To that end, I'm suggesting a little time spent in meal planning can go a long way.

Pick some time each week when you can set aside a few hours to plan ahead. This small amount of time will wind up saving you more time-as well as money and health in the long run. Here are some suggestions on how to create a menu plan:

1. Choose the same few hours each week to plan your menu. Good times might be Saturdays from 10am to noon or Sundays from 4pm to 6pm. Pick the same time each week and it will soon become a routine once you have the planning strategy worked out.

2. Create a chart with 7 columns for each day of the week and 6 rows for 3 meals and 3 snacks. Vary this to fit your particular needs, then make 4 copies for one month. Before the last week of the month, make 4 copies for the next month. This is easy to do if you create the chart on your computer in Ms Word or Excel.

3. Fill in the blanks as much as you can with your selections for each meal. You may want to leave some spaces blank for spontaneity. Doing this will take some time as you want to consider health concerns, family members' preferences and allergies, their schedules, any budgetary or time constraints, and any other factors that may be specific to your needs. Also, you might want to experiment with one new recipe each week to add variety.

4. Economize time and resources. Planning ahead allows you to design your menu so you can, for example, bake a casserole on Sunday night and have leftovers on Monday and Tuesday. You can read the grocery store ads and take advantage of specials; you can go to the farmer's market to purchase the local produce that's in season.

5. Learn how you can eat healthier. When planning your weekly menu, you have the opportunity to start eating healthier. That might mean cutting back on red meat, adding more fresh vegetables, or introducing some new foods like tofu or salmon, that your family has never eaten before. Because there are several theories on what constitutes healthy eating, choose a few to examine and then test them on your family. It can get confusing as to whether red wine or coffee are beneficial or harmful, but let your body be the testing ground and see what fuels you and feels good to you. It's best to stay informed and see what makes sense.

Lastly, planning your menu ahead will save you time, money, and health because you'll be eating out less. The average family eats out or brings home prepared foods at least three times per week. It may seem like eating prepared food is saving time, but it's not saving money and you don't know how healthy the food is since you didn't prepare it yourself. And if you plan ahead, you will save time by being organized, with less trips to the grocery, and less meal preparation. Your family's health is worth it, isn't it?

How to Save Money and Get Discount Health Insurance in Florida

Health insurance is generally considered one of the least affordable of all the types of insurance that the average America is expected to purchase. In fact, approximately 17% of all Florida residents can't afford any health coverage at all.

Group health insurance is almost always less expensive than individual health care so if your employer or some organization that you belong to makes group health insurance available to you that may be your best bet.

If you have no insurance and you meet certain low-income requirements then your children 19 years of age and younger may qualify for the state of Florida's KidCare Program. For more information on this state-sponsored program check out: http://www.floridakidcare.org/

If you have a home business check with your insurance agent. Many home-based businesses in Florida, regardless of whether they have any employees or not, qualify for group rate health insurance.

If you are still looking for individual health insurance there may be ways of getting the cost of your policy down to the point that it doesn't make you sick.

Let's start with your smoking. If you smoke or use any other form of tobacco product (such as chew) then you need to quit. Period. Smokers pay a considerably higher rate for health insurance than do non-smokers. If you have a health insurance policy currently and you smoked when you first got your policy but you have since quit you need to speak with your agent - you could be due a rather heft decrease in your monthly premium payments!

Are you overweight? Even though the majority of Americans are overweight it still costs overweight people more to purchase health insurance than it does for people who fall within the "normal" range on the weight charts. The good news is you don't have to lose all of your weight to get a break on your health insurance. Often even losing just a little will place you in a lower-priced category and save you money year after year.

Don't engage in dangerous or extreme sports or hobbies. Unnecessarily placing your life or your health at risk will drive up the cost of your health insurance. Having a dangerous occupation can also increase the cost of your health insurance.

If you've been insured by the same company for at least 5 years you could be entitled to a Long-Term Discount on your health insurance. Similarly if you have other insurance policies, such as homeowner's or auto insurance with the same company you should receive a Multi-Policy Discount on your health policy.

What is your current co-pay when you visit your doctor's office? Many people have a 20% or 25% co-pay. Did you know that if you increase your co-pay to 50% that you can save as much as 20% on your monthly health insurance premiums? This is a particularly good way for people who do not visit their doctor on a regular basis to save a great deal of money every year.

What about your deductible? Your deductible is the amount of money you spend on your own health care each year before you even bother your insurance company. The higher your deductible the lower your monthly premium payment will be - but consider everything carefully before increasing your deductible because this is extra money you will have to come up with each year for your own health care.

Finally its time to go online and take everything you've learned in this article and plug it into at least 3 of the many websites that allow you to quickly make head-to-head comparisons of health insurance policies and prices between companies.

Remember to make your comparisons on at least 3 different sites if you want to make certain that the low price you see is truly the lowest price you can get. It takes a little extra time to make comparisons on multiple websites, but the result is that you really will save money and get discount health insurance in Florida.
