If You Work Hard, You Might As Well Get Rich

When I was once an employee at Teletech Holdings doing customer care....yes if you had a Nextel phone you may have spoken with me ;), I thought that I was the big shot! I was well liked, well respected and I did my job 110%. But the problem was I never enjoyed my work. Sure I got along great with the staff but let's be honest here. $10.50 an hour is not a livable salary..



I was working hard, my bosses took control over my life! I worked anywhere from 45 to 60 hours a week as a team lead, or a supervisor stand in. It was a very stressful job and the rewards were never that great. Anyone who has worked the phones knows what I am talking about. So why did I keep doing it?

One reason... MONEY! When I was an employee, I was working for money! I was working to barely survive.

After 4 years, 4 years to the day oddly enough I left work on a Friday afternoon and decided that it was time to go. I had had enough. That was May 6 2006. It's been a long three years, but I have never looked back.

You see folks. I didn't start blogging to be another guru, which I am not, nor did I start several websites to rip people off. Believe me, I could. I know all the tricks to make people get ropped in and buy buy buy. I do this to help people. I was raised with ethics and integrity. I have been a victim of spammers, my systems has been hacked, my reputation was destroyed awhile ago by a hacker as well. It happens.

Dust off, learn a lesson and move on. Most people are so close to success online that they quit right when the money was just about to come in. Don't let that happen to you.

I can help. This blog can help. More importantly you CAN succeed.

Look around here and you will find alot of very useful information and if you have a question ask me through here or facebook or twitter etc etc.


Never forget the reason why being rich and owning dream cars and dream houses has just been a pipe dream to the majority of people out there is because of one simple word.

It is FEAR! Yes, F-E-A-R! The FEAR of losing! The FEAR of failing! The FEAR of doing something RISKY! The FEAR of losing money!

Hence, they would rather be secure and not live their dreams, they wait for the lottery numbers to make them rich. They don't push their limits. They are afraid to move ahead. Paralyzed with fear.

Have you ever watched The Worlds Richest People, here are the common words they all say:

1. "Do not be afraid of losing everything, because when you die, you will lose them all"

2. "There is no way that you will make millions and millions and millions without losing first"

3. "For you to be rich, you have to take risks. Calculated risks"

4. "Never give up, no matter how many times you fail"

5. "Failures are just temporary defeats. They only become permanent once you GIVE-UP"


Remember Edison? The guy who created that little thing called the lightbulb?

It took him 10,000 tries before he got it right!! Imagine the ridicule he faced but he kept going and he had a great mindset, when he finally got it to work he said "I never failed, I just found 10,000 ways that did not work". Thomas Edison was a very rich person!

Did you know Donald Trump made millions, then he went bankrupt? True story. He didn't wallow in self pity, he learned what he did wrong and corrected the mistakes he made. Now he is a household name. He didn't give up.

You can be more than you are. You are better than most.

Why?

Simple you read this far. Keep going and make money and when you do I want to hear about it.
