THANK YOU JEEBUS!!!





WOW- I was SOOO HAPPY with how funny and great the Simpsons Movie was. It seemed so effortless, but thinking back, they had to be very deliberate about so many things. It wasn't just funny, it was well written, and carried it's legacy with it.

THANK YOU JEEBUS!!!

It’s an Asset, Not a Job

I am a DEVOTEE of Robert Kiyosaki- here's a great article from him:

Network Marketing—It’s an Asset, Not a Job
By Robert Kiyosaki

I am sometimes asked, “Why do so few people make it to the top of their network marketing system?”

The truth is, the top of the network marketing system is open to everyone—unlike traditional corporate systems, which allow only one person to reach the top of the company. The reason most people do not reach the top is simply because they quit too soon. So why would someone quit short of the top?


Most people join only to make money. If they don’t make money in the first few months or years, they become discouraged and quit (and then often bad-mouth the industry!). Others quit and go looking for a company with a better compensation plan. But joining to make a few quick dollars is not the reason to get into the business.


The Two Essential Reasons to Join a Network Marketing Business


Reason number one is to help yourself. Reason number two is to help others. If you join for only one of these two reasons, then the system will not work for you.



Reason number one, means that you come to the business primarily to change quadrants—to change from the E (Employee) or the S (Self-employed) quadrant to the B (Business owner) or I (Investor) quadrant.




This change is normally very difficult for most people—because of money. The true E or S quadrant person will not work unless it is for money. This is also what causes people to not reach the top of the network marketing system: they want money more than they want to change quadrants.


A B quadrant or I quadrant person will also work for money, but in a different way. The B quadrant person works to build or create an asset—in this case, a business system. The I quadrant person invests in the asset or the system.


The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you do not really make much money unless you help others leave the E and S quadrants and succeed in the B and I quadrants. If you focus on helping others make this shift, then you will be successful in the business.


As a B or an I, sometimes you don’t get paid for years; this, a true E quadrant or S quadrant person will not do. It’s not part of their core values. Risk and delayed gratification disturb them emotionally.



Delayed Gratification and Emotional Intelligence


One of the beauties of network marketing is that it focuses on developing your emotional intelligence as well as your business skills.


Emotional intelligence is an entirely different matter from academic intelligence. In general, someone with high emotional intelligence will often do better than someone with high academic intelligence but low emotional intelligence. That explains, in part, why some people do well in school but not so well in the real world.


The ability to delay gratification is a sign of higher emotional intelligence. In a recent study of emotional intelligence, it was found that people who could delay gratification often led more successful lives than those who could not.


This is why the educational system inherent in a good network marketing opportunity is so important. It’s the emotional education or emotional intelligence aspect of their programs that I find so valuable for people.


Many people write me and tell me they loved my book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, but I fear that many of them don’t get the most important point of the book: Lesson #1, “The rich don’t work for money.”



Once I have built or bought an asset, that asset works hard to make money for me. But I will not work for money—I will work only to build or buy assets. Those assets make me richer and richer, while I work less and less. That is what the rich do. The poor and middle class work hard for money, and then buy liabilities instead of investing in assets.


What Kind of Asset is a Network Marketing Business?


Remember, there are two reasons required to be successful in network marketing: to help yourself, and to help others. Reason number one means helping yourself get to the B side of the quadrant. What about reason number two?


The beauty of most network marketing systems is that you don’t really make much money unless you help others leave the E and S quadrants and succeed in the B and I quadrants . If you focus on helping others make this shift, then you will be successful in the business.



If you only want to teach yourself to be a B quadrant and I quadrant person, then a true network marketing system won’t work for you. You may as well go to a traditional business school, which focuses only on your becoming a B quadrant person.


The beauty of a network marketing business is that your goal is to create assets, which are other B’s working under you—and their job is to create other B’s working under them. In traditional business, the focus is for the B to have only E’s and S’s working for them.



The type of business I was taught to build is a business with me at the top and E’s and S’s at the base. I really don’t have room at the top for many other B’s, which is why in my businesses, I strongly recommend that all my employees look into network marketing as their own part-time businesses.


The traditional corporate system really is a pyramid, because there are a few B’s and I’s near the top, and more E’s and S’s at the base. A network marketing system is a reverse pyramid: its primary focus is to bring up more and more B’s to the top.



One type of pyramid, the traditional type, has its base on the ground; the other type has its base in the air. It’s a pyramid that pulls you up instead of pushing you down. A network marketing business gives everyone access to what used to be the domain only of the rich.

Doing it NOW!!!



Laura and I have been cleaning out the apartment of all our junk, and reorganizing stuff. Something just told us that the apartment was too cluttered, so we got to it.

As I was cleaning out old tapes- yes, TAPES, I found a tape set called "Do it Now- How to cure Procrastination and Achieve your Goals" by Edwin C. Bliss. It is so old, I couldn't even find a picture of the tape set online. This is the book cover.

Anyway, I was putting it in the "give away" pile because it's in great condition, since it's never been used.

Than I started laughing really hard. REALLY HARD.

Harry BORING and the BORING of the BOOOOOORRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGG


Let me say up front that I have NOT read the books, although I HAVE seen all of the movies, and I am strictly reviewing the MOVIE here.

and I was BORED.

Wow- BORING.

There's a new school head, and it takes FOREVER for her to gain complete control of the school, even though we absolutelt knew it was going to happen.

Then all the exciting stuff was quickly over, in the last 15 minutes of the entirely-too-long movie.

I was BORED, ok?

Yawn.

I'm drunk.....

I went to Ryan's house for a bar-b-que, and by the time we were playing the third drinking game, I decided it was time to go... this is appropriate:

Ratatouille- I may NOT hate rats anymore!




I heard this movie was great, but I didn't believe it. I went anyway, because my friend told me I had to, and I SO grateful I did.

The movie is Fantastic!!! The action is exciting, the jokes are funny, the storyline is wonderfully put together. Not too crazy, not too grounded in reality.

From the preview I knew that the mouse was going to "marionette" the kid into cooking (Is that a word?), and I thought that was silly, so it kinda took away my desire to see it. However, watching the movie, it just seems like it's aLMOST possible, and after some prctice montage, it works!

Peter O'Toole is Phenomenal, and I now want him to do as many voice-overs as possible!!

Freakin' Pixar is amazing.

By the way, the short that comes before the movie is great too.

Please go see this movie, it is probably the best film of the summer, but now it's between Die Hard, Knocked Up, and this.

"You want fries with that?"

Do you know how to talk?

When we begin our Network Marketing businesses, sometimes it feels weird to TALK.
We are given scripts and exact words to duplicate, and it can feel fake, foreign and phony. Eric Worre said in his training:

"After they see the DVD, just say 'Did you get it?', and see what they say. If they say 'yes', then you say 'Great- are you ready to get started?' if not, then lead them to the next exposure."

It seems Unnatural.

Even as an actor, I actually HATE memorizing scripts, and would MUCH rather be improvisational about my acting AND my business. But then I thought about it differently.

We have franchises; personal franchises. When you order a burger at a burger franchise, someone will ask you "Would you like fries with that?" immediately.

It is fake, foreign and phony.
And it works.

Since we have our own personal franchises, why not just use the scripts, just like they do at McDonald's?

I guess from now on, I'd better brush up on my lines- Thanks Eric!

Ok, so NOW I get it!

I went away last weekend to ORLANDO for our big "MASTERMIND" weekend, and I had a blast! Not only did I learn SO much, but I met with and partied with a whole big group of people!

And as you now, I like to party.

Here's a pic of me at the 70's party.


I figured I can go shirtless for a little while longer- I AM 35 now... Laura came with me, and I think she NOW understands why I am so excited. I have been writing my Star Trek Book, but I keep thinking about this business when I'm not writing.

Anyway, here's the plan:

1- Show them the DVD
2- Get them to an online event
3- Get them to a ABB or a local event.

Show them to do it too!

"Autobots- Roll Out!"

I took a break from writing my STAR TREK BOOK,

www.CaptainKirksGuideToWomen.com

and saw the TRANSFORMERS movie that I had been waiting for for over a year.
I was giddy with antici.....pation as the previews started, and there was one for some J.J, Abrams movei. At first I thought it was Star Trek XI, but the release date was wrong.. I guess well find out what that is later.

As for TRANSFORMERS, I liked it. I didn't LOVE it. There was a ton of fanboy stuff "One shall stand, one shall fall", and "Autobots- Roll out!" were quotes that excited the hell out of me.

However, the script was pretty bad, in that they spent ENTIRELY TOO MUCH TIME with stupid stuff. Megatron was only in it for 20 minutes, and fights were all too close up, so you couldn't see what was happening. For a lot of the shots, it was just a jumble of metal, and no distinguishable movement.

I wish they didn't spend so much time "Looking for the glasses", as they didn't have what they needed on them anyway.

Overall, I would say it was better than Fantastic Four, but not as good as Live Free or Die Hard.

It wasn't the movie it could have been, but it wasn't Daredevil either.
