INTRODUCTION:

I do some speaking occasionally to different groups of people who would like their circumstances to change.

The problem is that circumstances usually don't change until the people in the circumstances change. Which means that the only way to change your circumstances is to change yourself.

The information in these few pages will only take 10 minutes to read, but has drastically changed my life's circumstances, and it can do the same for you if you take action on the information.

The only difference between what you have and what you want is APPLIED KNOWLEDGE. This booklet will be the knowledge, but YOU have to apply it.

NEW WORDS

There might seem to be a lot of differences between the rich, the poor, and the middle class, but what if I told you that there was only one idea that the rich use that the the other two do not, that makes all the difference?

It’s so simple but so important that when I finally understood it, it changed my life forever.

I'm going to open your eyes and show you exactly what I mean, and you’ll see why the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the middle class are getting squeezed out.

It’s not about what they do, but what they BUY.

I want to make this as simple as I can, but to start I want to give you a few definitions of four important words.

(When I first heard these, I thought I knew them, but it turns out I was wrong)

The words are:

Income- which means money you bring in

Expenses- which means money you spend

These two words are used by the rich, poor, and middle class, but it’s these next two that I thought I knew, but blew my mind:

Liabilities- Something that costs you

Assets- Something that pays you.

Before, I thought an asset was something you own, like a house, a car, or something expensive. But the rich have a different definition of Assets, and this is the one we’ll be working with:

“Something that pays you”

Usually, people call their house an asset, and if you ask an accountant, they’ll tell you it is, but if you use these definitions, it can also be a liability, right?

A house you own but live in COSTS you money, so it’s a liability. BUT, a house that you rent to other people and make money from is an ASSET.

So, a quick review:

• Income is money you make
• Expenses is money you spend
• Liability cost you money
• Assets pay you money.

THE POOR

So, I mentioned that there was a simple idea that separated the rich, poor and middle class, and it’s all wrapped up in what they do with their money when they get paid.

THE POOR take their money and buy…

“DOODADS” or “STUFF”

They buy shoes, and ringtones, and mountain dew, and chotchkes, and blu-rays, and clothes and TVs and games and a bunch of STUFF that they found for cheap- maybe at a flea market, garage sale, dollar store, or Walmart.

Their houses are cluttered with junk, but it was all “just a buck!” or “inexpensive thingys”. Their cars are full of junk, their garages are full of useless trinkets, etc.

They take their money from their income, and spend it through their EXPENSES each month. Right out the door, as fast as it came in.

It’s easy to fall into this trap because everywhere we look there are things to buy! It makes the world go ‘round, the problem is that after years of working, they have nothing to show for it because all the little thingys add up.

I was born with this idea, and for a long time, that’s what I thought you should do with money- Spend it! I had heard of “saving”, but even then, I was saving it to buy something BIG.

The problem is that the poor never let their money create more money.

This isn’t a character flaw, and it’s not WRONG, it’s just that it keeps the poor on a terrible cycle that is very hard to escape from.

You have to be willing to learn and change.

I was willing, and I learned that creating wealth is not a big secret, it’s a recipe.

The only reason someone doesn't create wealth is because they don't know the recipe, don’t want to know the recipe, or never use the recipe.

I have never baked cupcakes because I never learned, never had the recipe, and never tried to bake them. It’s not enough to get the recipe, you actually have to COOK!

So let’s talk about the middle class now.

THE MIDDLE CLASS

Some people in the middle class think they are rich, because they might make a good salary at a good job.

Maybe they make a six figure income, but what they buy with that money is what keeps them stuck in the middle class.

Instead of buying little inexpensive thingys, the middle class buy LIABILITIES.

Remember I said that a liability is something that costs you?

Well, the middle class buy things like big houses, nice cars, vacations, and pay for them on credit that they pay for every month. Each month it’s a new thing, but it just adds a little bit to the monthly bills or expenses.

For example, let’s say someone in the middle class makes $15,000. They pay their monthly expenses like the mortgage (or rent on a fancy apartment) and food and lifestyle with $7000, but then a car costs 7000 dollars down and a few hundred a month.

Then a watch that costs a little bit per month, a vacation that costs a little bit per month, etc. etc. Until they are living on the credit cards that they pay a part of every month.

After a while, their monthly debts catch up to their monthly income, and then they are trapped with what I’ve heard called

“Golden shackles”.

They keep buying LIABILITIES that cost them every month, and then they are trapped by the very things they bought to make them happy.

Now, they are stressed out because they HAVE to make more money next year for the kids schools, or the next vacation, or whatever.

And they put THOSE liabilities on the credit card.

The poor and the middle class get trapped because they also get into a situation where the only way they make money is by trading their TIME for it.

Either their body or their knowledge get traded for the money they make, and there are only 24 hours in a day.

Whether you make $10 an hour, or $1000 an hour, you still have to trade that hour for it. A fast food worker still has to serve food, a dentist still has to see patients.

This is when the 2nd job comes into play. It’s a short-term band-aid to a long-term problem, because there are only so many hours in the day.

Often people with jobs end up being workaholics, waking up just to go to work and pay bills. The added money isn't a solution, just a bigger way to be trapped.

A lot of people think that education and knowledge are the solution to any problem, but they are mistaken.

Education and knowledge must be applied.

“The only difference between what you have and what you want is applied knowledge.”

First you have to gain the knowledge, then apply it.

After you finished reading this, you'll be prompted to take action, and visit a website for more education and knowledge. I hope you choose to take the action and apply what you learn.

For example, earning more money isn't always the solution. I want you to know that you can make a lot of money, but still be a poor person because of how you spend it.

It's not what you make, but HOW you make it, and what you do with it after wards.

But here’s the critical difference for the wealthy:

The Wealthy do something completely different.

THE RICH

Instead of buying STUFF and liabilities with their money, the wealthy buy ASSETS.

Again, an ASSET is something that PAYS you.

This blew my mind when I heard it because I had no idea that you could even do that… BUY something that PAYS YOU?

It made no sense at first, so I chose to keep learning. Here’s what I found out:

The wealthy buy ASSETS. These assets pay them money, which they use to buy MORE assets which makes them MORE money. The ASSETS make them money instead of their TIME.

Here are a couple of assets that you might have heard of:

Stocks

Bonds

Real Estate

Now when I heard this, I said:

“Oh! Investing- Of course they buy ‘investments’- duh!”

And the person who taught me this asked me “What is an investment?”

and I said

“Well, it’s something you buy, and then you hope it goes up in value, and then you sell it for more money...right?”

And he said…

“NO.

That’s TRADING.

That’s GAMBLING.

And that’s what the poor and middle class think investing is.

They are wrong.”

Then he asked me- “Would you like to know how RICH people define investing?”

And I said “YES”!

And he said- “I already told you they BUY ASSETS”.

Instead of buying something that you HOPE goes up in value after time goes by, the rich buy ASSETS that pay them NOW.

You see, they buy stocks that pay a dividend- it pays them money every month.

They buy bonds that pay them every month

They buy real estate that PAYS them every month-

Like I said before, not a house you live in hoping it goes up in value in ten years, but a house that you RENT OUT NOW to people who pay you every month.

But there were two other kinds of assets that I want to talk about now::

EDUCATION can be  kind of asset if you learn how to do something and you can use it to make more money.

There’s an old saying “If you think education is expensive you should see how expensive ignorance is”

but where the rich really make the difference is when they buy or create an asset that is a BUSINESS.

A BUSINESS

Buy or Create an Asset That Is A BUSINESS.

-Especially a business that can create passive income.

When you can build up a business to where it pays you even after you stop working it, then you have a true asset. It’s what the real wealthy people do, and it doesn’t have to be some multi-national corporation.

A great example of this kind of a business is a vending machine.

If you have a vending machine in a place with a lot of traffic, people buy the candy, and you just collect the money.

Sure, you might pay for the candy, and for someone to restock it, but all you do is get the machine, and get the money, and then buy another machine.

And then get the money, and buy another machine.

Over and Over.

Warren buffet did this with old pinball machines… now he’s one of the wealthiest people on the planet.

He started with pinball machines, and now he buys big businesses that pay him monthly. Same recipe, different ingredients.

If you Like Me, feel excited now that you’ve learned this, then here’s where YOU come in.

Years ago, I came across these ideas when I was working a day job.

I am an actor, and you’ve seen me on tv now, but back then I was just working to pay the bills.

I got jobs answering phones, temping, whatever, doing things just for money, so I could pay bills on the liabilities and STUFF that I had bought.

Then someone shared these ideas with me, and I wanted a change enough that I chose to keep learning.

Now things are entirely different. I spend my time doing what I want to do, I’ve been on TV, I’ve written books, and and I decided to take action when I had the chance to build up a passive income business online.

An online Asset.

Kind of an online vending machine (if that makes sense)

I took some of the money I made from that ASSET, and bought more assets in the form of education, so I could LEARN MORE and take MORE action, and build MORE online vending machines.

.

I started telling people about what I had learned, but I found that you can’t understand any of this stuff unless you’re looking for a solution, you’re open to hearing one, and feel excited about the idea.

When I was poor, spending all my money and time on stupid STUFF, I was open when someone asked me if I wanted to make some more money. I answered a very hype-filled ad, was willing to research, take action, and it changed my life forever.

So, on the next page is a passive income business ASSET that I use to make money with.

Remember:

The poor by STUFF

The middle class buy LIABILITIES

The wealthy buy ASSETS-

Preferably businesses that PAY YOU money then take that money and buy another asset that produces more money.

That's the recipe for wealth.

Governor Cuomo- Will he sell New York Out?

It's very simple:

1- New York needs more affordable housing, not less.

2- New Buildings go up all the time for rich people. Fine, great. However,

3- Instead of building those new places, New York Landlords are using their loophole lawyers to kick out old tenants and turn those affordable units into rich people's vacation homes- AND HAVE THE TAXPAYERS PAY FOR IT!

4- That's wrong.

GOVERNOR CUOMO, PLEASE STRENGTHEN THE RENT LAWS!

Responsible Drunk Drivers- Unite!

I go out, I have a few drinks, and I want to go home.

I get in my car, and drive more carefully than I normally would, because I understand that I have a weapon in my hands.

A weapon that can accidentally kill myself and other people.

So yeah, I drive drunk- but I do it responsibly.

If I kill someone accidentally, then I would go to jail because it would be MY responsibility.

I guess I’m a criminal (since criminals don’t obey laws) but I don’t think drunk driving should be illegal, so I’m more of a patriot.

I have the God-Given RIGHT to drink and drive if I want, and no one will take it away from me.

I’m willing to take the consequences, even if other people aren’t as responsible as I am when they do it.

I hate the irresponsible drunk drivers- they make the rest of us look bad- idiots.

Last month, a girl I know who wasn’t a responsible drunk driver killed this soccer mom and one of her children, but the other kid in the car was paralyzed from the neck down. You should have seen the father crying through his anger.

He didn’t know what he was going to do. I actually think he was on suicide watch or something while his paralyzed kid was being fed at the hospital.

The woman going to jail now, and she should. Stupid, irresponsible woman.

She said it was an “accident”, but if she had been more responsible when she was driving drunk, then the accident wouldn’t have happened. She should have known that the mixture of alcohol and a car is like having a loaded weapon, and you should only use it when you absolutely know what you’re doing.

There are too many people who drink and drive without proper safety precautions the way she did.

For example, my kid once got behind the wheel of my car (just being like Daddy), but I showed him how to drive responsibly, and how to drink from a paper bag when he’s driving, just so that people don’t bother him.

There are unjust Open Container laws to avoid, but if you’re a concealed drinker, they can’t really catch you.

This is a call out for all of the responsible drinker-drivers to band together to get rid of these laws that are trying to stop us from getting places we want to go in the state of mind we wish to be.

The criminals won’t obey the laws anyway, so it’s up to us responsible drinker-drivers to get rid of those laws, and protect our children from the “Big Brother” of government trying to “protect” us from accidents and irresponsible drunk drivers!

You can take my drink when you can catch my car!!

By the way, in case you don't "get it", this is about GUNS.

How To Quit Your Day Job Forever

Yesterday, I was pushing my baby Pike in the stroller, and a man commented on how many fathers he's seen lately who seem to not have jobs...

"Don't all of you guys WORK?"

And I told him that I haven't had a day job in about 13 years.

When he asked how that was possible, I pointed him to my book on Amazon,
but I figured that since you guys are MY PEOPLE, I'd let you have it for free:

All you need to do is SHARE IT, and you'll get it for free!

Tasting the New Tastes on The Upper West Side at the Old Junior High School

Last night, my wife and I got to go to "New Tastes On The Upper West Side", and event where all the local restaurants give samples away and compete for a vote to win best.... something.

We had a lot of fun, a lot of good food, and the band was great.

But what was weird for me is that it was held at my old Junior High school, William . O'Shea, I.S. 44 on 77th Street and Columbus Avenue:

It reminded me of playing football out there, going to eat at the Chinese restaurant across the Street and going to Jimmy's Dad's house for lunch and to watch some MTV when it was a new thing that showed "videos" of Music! What?

Thanks to my wonderful Mom for the idea and the tickets, and for watching Pike for us so we could go. THANKS MOM!!!

How to know your life purpose in 5 minutes

I feel silly right now because this short talk was absolutely life-altering for me.



I think ANYONE "looking" for their life's purpose can find it here.



I have been wandering around with a very vague idea about helping people, and being enthusiastic, and being an actor, blah, blah, blah, but this talk (since I was brave enough to participate)  really helped me focus on the person I WANT to be.



You see, I knew that I could just "choose" who and what I want to be in life, but this talk really brings it down to 5 sentences. Please watch it. I'm now going to find everything I can on Ada, Leipzig.







I know you're probably curious as to what I said, but I'm going to make you watch it instead!

:-)

The comments on the youtube page are pretty telling also- people trying t find the loophole, and being scared to CHOOSE what their purpose is.



Again. I loved it. Sharing RIGHT NOW.

I got some sad news today

There I was in LA, pushing my son Pike on the swings,

thinking about stupid stuff- career, money, and whether or not I 

looked "suspicious" in my camo shorts and hoodie.

That's when the text came in::

"They think they found Rachel's body, but her husband is going there to see"

BAM.

My friend was on that train that derailed yesterday,

and she was reported missing.

I posted it on facebook, but I really just assumed she was lost

in a hospital or something. I didn't even think about her dying.

She has a loving husband,

and a two-year old.

 A TWO YEAR OLD.

That hit me, and I quickly felt a sharp, stuttered breath,

and a cough.

My eyes were suddenly wet.

I looked around at the other kids running and laughing 

in the park, and how many of them were with nannies, but

who would see their mommies later... 

and that Rachel's two year old won't ever see her again.

 A TWO YEAR OLD.

I quickly grabbed up Pike, held him close, left the park,

and texted my wife that I love her so very much.

SO. VERY. MUCH.

May I suggest you do the same, for whoever you love,

because you never know when it's all over.

And I asked myself-  WHO DO YOU WANT TO BE NOW?

Now that this event has happened in my life, who do I want

to be in relation to it? 

What does my character do in my story now that

this has happened?

Today, I want to be someone who has been reminded how

precious life is, and that the people who you are travelling through it

with are precious too.

And to be someone who reminds others.

I hope this email did that for you.

Also, remember that if something ever happened to you, that

people care, and would be hurt deeply- even people who

you wouldn't think of.

YOU ARE IMPORTANT. I SWEAR THIS IS TRUE.

Question: What is the Soul? ANSWERED!

What is the Soul?



In This video, Neale Donald Walsch discusses what the soul is, as defined by the Conversations With God teachings.

No matter what religion you are, you may find this answer very interesting.



I am an HUGE Fan of Neale Donald Walsch, and I hope you enjoy him as much as I do!



Watch It Here

To the fathers and sons out there

In case you didn't know, I have an 8 month-old named Pike.



I don't know how you would NOT know that, unless you are just meeting me, because my Facebook has been loaded with baby pictures for exactly 8 months :-D



So, now that I have added "Father" to my titles, along with Actor, Author, and Entrepreneur, I have had some thoughts that I wanted to express:







I want you to know that if you EER feel your parents didn't love you, that you were WRONG.



And, if for some reason you think you lost their love, it is impossible- even if they just didn't know what to do with it, or how to express it, or how to be a loving person.



But those scenarios have nothing to do with you, or your ability to be loved.



I hope you enjoyed this.

The Enemy Named Disappointment

Disappointment sucks.

It's just the worst, and the higher your expectations, and the more excited you are about something, the harder the fall of disappointment.

The more JOY you're investing, the more GRIEF from the disappointment.

Now, I've heard that "attachment to results is the main cause of suffering", but that's for another post.

For right now, here's what I wanted to tell you:

Get excited anyway.

Get joyous anyway.

You see, it's really easy to dampen your hopes, to play down your enthusiasm, and to mute your excitement just to protect yourself from the soul-crushing, rug-pulling, embarrassment of disappointment.

You get news about something great, but you STOP YOURSELF from getting too excited, or too hopeful, because it's possible that it might not work out the way you want it to.

So, you ROB YOURSELF of the joy instead... BEFORE disappointment gets it's chance.

And that means Disappointment has won. It has beaten you because you bring it along with you and do it's work for it.

And the worst part- is that sometimes, because youve muted your excitement so much, you actually bring about the unwanted results, and get disappointed.

And it grows in strength for the next time.

ow, about the "attachment to results" thing, this is kinda true.

Because there's a difference between getting excited, and hanging all of your hopes on a single, particular result.

I went with some friends to a Phish concert, after not having heard them live in a while, and the discussion came to what songs we wanted to hear.

One of my friends absolutely HAD to hear something, and was going to be disappointed if he didn't. Another really hoped they did NOT play something else. When it came to my turn, I really and sincerely couldn't be disappointed. I was just glad that I was going, and whatever they played would be great.... even Guelah Papyrus, which is my least favorite song.

But in truth, I haven't heard it in so long, I might actually enjoy it!

Anyway, this has not been one of my most fluid posts (kinda disappointed in it!), but you get the point.

The next time you feel yourself trying to avoid disappointment, remember that it means it has already won!

This Is Genius - And so are You!

This is Genius- a spoken word poem with a simply directed video tells a pretty cool story:

The question is how far should we take that? We do need some basic education that we can all agree with, but how much of it? And where can we start to divide the herd... and how?

What do YOU think?

How NOT To Talk To An Actor

You're probably expecting some list of "Do it this way..." or "That was nice, but I wish you had.."

But this post is not about that at all. I just wanted you to know.

I recently became a parent, and so I've been reading all sorts of articles, books, and blogs about how to be a better one.

Some people think that's dumb.

But for me, I've noticed that anything I excel in- and it is a great many things- I have done well not because I follow other people's advice, but because I get enough advice that I get to CHOOSE from the options.

In other words, if I just go with what I know, then my choices are limited.

Also, by being a "generalist", I get to incorporate ideas from all sorts of places, and allow my brain to make connections....

I'll get to where ACTORS come into this in a minute, and it's not what you think.

So the other day, I read an article called How Not To Talk To Your Children, and it was all about the random, unfettered praise some people give their kids. Not in the "You're making kids soft" way, I mean the stuff that EVERYONE thinks is a good idea:

Like saying "You're smart!"

I mean, who can argue with that, right?

Well, it turns out that telling kids they are Smart after they do something means that the only way for them to go from there is DUMB.

So many people avoid trying anything they know they won't succeed at.

This is VERY true.

I swear, I'm getting to actors... just hold on!

In my life, I was labeled smart pretty early, and in Junior High school, I was in the "Special Progress" class, and we were kinda isolated from the rest of the school... whom we all knew were dummies. Not our fault- it was kind of an understood thing among us.

Then I went to The Bronx High School Of Science, where being "smart" was the pre-requisite for admission.

I've been around the label "smart" for a long time.

Anyway, I can say with absolute confidence that many of the people I know are PETRIFIED of being "found out" as NOT being as smart as they are assumed to be.

Myself included.

Do you see where I'm going yet with Acting?

So, the study goes on to show how these kids who are labeled "smart" and praised as "smart" when they get a simple test correct are DE-MOTIVATED from trying anything that may be a challenge for them.

However, kids who are praised for their EFFORT are not only emotionally boosted, they are MOTIVATED to try a harder task. You see, we all like praise, so if we can get it through trying something HARD we'll get it.

NOW comes the acting part.

For Actors, this is a one-two punch.

Everyone says that the acting business is tough, and we actors are constantly praised by other people for "trying to be an actor", and "good for you!" for going for our dreams, and blah, blah, blah. And if we're not being as successful as Tom Hanks, then "at least we're trying".

So we get praised for that.

Then there's when we actually do perform... we get APPLAUSE.  I mean, for someone who is feeling unworthy of attention (an almost cliche trait of an actor), that mass praising is an addictive, irresistible drug.

But then- the praise that probably harms and destroys more careers than any is:

"You're so talented"

Talent may kill your career

Because now- we should be rich and famous actors based on our TALENT as opposed to because we WORKED hard at it.

And I don't just mean a performance, I mean being in the business.

Kind of like "If you're talented, you don't need to promote yourself- your TALENT will make you stand out" kind of idea.

It even works to REMOVE our pride when we DO get a job because as we know- "Only the talentless actually WORK" becase they are "promoting", and "networking", and doing whatever "FALSE" things they have to do because their TALENT didn't get them there.

Do you understand what I'm saying here?

Believing in your "TALENT" might be exactly what will prevent you from using it!

"Unrecognized Genius" is a cliche, and the more UNrecognized we can be- then the MORE genius we must have, right?

So, aside from the praise- it's easier to be "Talented", but never be in a position to have that questioned.

From my own life, I am MUCH more attracted to parts that I feel are "within my wheelhouse" of skills. Now, of course that's a good business strategy in general (Tom Hanks will NEVER play an action hero vigilante), but maybe I'm also trying to avoid being BAD and "untalented" in my performances.

Fortunately, I've realized that it's always best to be the WORST in any group, so you can learn the most. How do we teach this to younger kids though? Especially those who show a "Talent" for something....

What about you?

Did this make sense to anyone else, or did I connect too many ideas?

How To Write A Kid's Book, and Make It A Best-Seller

Every once in a while, I get a call from someone who wants to write a book. Sometimes it's fiction, sometimes it's non-fiction, but my favorite is when they ask about my children's books.

I wrote and published "What Kind Of Penguin Are You" and "What Kind Of Owl Are You" not too long ago, and I thought I would pass along a few ideas.

Know this: Parents want to entertain and make their kids happy! Now that I am a father, I will buy and read ANY book that seems half-way decent if it will make my kid smile!

If your intention is to create smiles, then you really can't go too wrong. When I wrote those books, I imagined that I was reading them aloud, because that's probably how they'll be read. 

Is it entertaining on it's own? 

What about the visuals? My books visuals are extremely simple, but other people make very elaborate pictures to bring kids into the world of their books. 

Not many people know this, but my Penguin book was written AND published in a 24-hour period, and has been selling ever since.If you set things up in a smart way, your book can have a long cycle.

HOWEVER, the biggest thing I learned is that there is a difference between writing a book, and publishing and selling a book, and I had to learn that VERY IMPORTANT lesson from someone else.

I learned how to do all of this (and many other things) from my secret weapon- Jay Boyer.

You CAN have this option everyday. I've been saying it for years.
