In an effort to assist you on your path to success, I have been feeling the urge to let you in on a little secret - one which every successful person has experienced. It is what makes the difference between struggling to survive, and moving forward to $1,000 a week or more. It is a magical event where your whole world changes. It is a point you can usually remember forever and look back on as the day everything changed!

I used to get mad when I saw others succeed when I didn't. I felt I worked just as hard, but success eluded me. I spent the money on personal development and training, yet, when it came time to roll out the rewards, somehow they didn't come to me.

Sure, I was making a few hundred dollars a month from my MLM business. At lest I made a profit, which was more than most people. But, I wasn't getting any further. Some invisible force blocked my path!

Then one day in June 200 it happened. Facing almost certain bankruptcy, I had dragged myself down the freeway to Sydney to attend yet another MLM meeting with some Guru who had all the answers. After a couple of hours, it was obvious that he didn't! Like everyone else, he wanted me to make him rich - or at least that was the way I looked at it. I mean the product was a web page builder - not very exciting. It was very crude compared to what is on offer today.

I left the meeting for the long trip home and whammo - I was pulled over by a couple of kids in jeans who turned out to be cops! They checked my license plate and discovered my car was a day out of rego - bastards. I was hopping mad. I had spent weeks getting the car ready and was going to get the rego check done next day. There was nothing defective about the vehicle. This was a technicality.

I reluctantly took the two tickets they presented and started driving. They stopped me again. "Where are you going?" "Home", I said. "You can't go anywhere or we will arrest you!" I had to drive to the nearest Service Station across the road and leave it till morning. I was not happy - I was devastated. Don't you hate it when someone else controls your life? When someone else tells you what you can and cannot do, for no seemingly logical reason?

I waited. I rang my mum (she lived a few blocks away). "Can I stay the night?" I pleaded. Then I thought about my situation. Did I really want to spend even more of the money I didn't have? I mean I was facing a huge dentist bill, my business owed $30,000. Pretty soon the credit card company would call for funds I didn't have. The TV stations and Newspapers were circling in on me. The last thing I needed was a huge bill for my car.

I did the only sensible thing. I climbed back in my car and sneaked home! Got back around 2 am I think. I decided then and there not to be pushed around by anyone. I decided I would fight my way out of this and never go there again. I decided I would do what it took to change my circumstances. I decided that no human or circumstance would stop me!

Now, I had thought this many times and very little changed. On those occasions I quickly slipped back to normality, thinking that one day everything would be fine. This didn't work! You may know what I am talking about?

In the next week, I got a job to provide some cash flow. It came from nowhere. The car was registered. I wrote to the cops and eventually they dropped the fines I couldn't pay. I rang all my creditors and made arrangements to pay off the debts. I started in another MLM that for two years provided the funds I needed to pay off the debts.

Wind forward to June 2002. As I neared my goal of being debt free except for the mortgage, a miracle happened. I was laid off from my job. Yes, you guessed it, this provided the rest of the money to get my finances back in order.

This time I felt I was ready to start towards the big time. I put an action plan in place and called my MLM team members. I had picked out one company to become a success with. Over the next few years, my income soared to some $3000 or more monthly. Then I had some problems with up line and company management and got disillusioned. I saw my business slide. What was I to do?

I started marketing on the internet. I had been quietly studying this for some time. First I had an on line course adapted from workshops we used to conduct. Then I built a system around a couple of the MLM products I had in my arsenal. After a few months, one of them started climbing in sales. Two years later, this single sales letter is responsible for over $3,000 a month of my commission income!

Then I had a phone call from someone I met on a company trip in Mexico or somewhere like that. I don't remember him, but he remembered me. He, like many others, was phoning everyone he had ever met to tell them about yet another MLM! I told him to get lost - twice!

A few months later a friend of mine told me of spectacular results with the products, so I rang back and joined. In three months, I was earning $3,000 a month on top of what I had before. This has continued and grown over the last year or so. It ahs provided the additional funds for me to be approaching $10,000 a month in commission only, and over $20,000 a month in business turnover. Not bad for someone who settled for a few hundred dollars once.

Like it or not, it was a decision made all those years ago which started all of this success. I project a doubling of business over the next year or so, and I have the plans to achieve that. All three MLMs I am involved with are growing, where thousands of others have quit or wondered why they didn't work! My progress has been steady. It has been consistent. Now I am so excited, I can't stop telling people how great life is when you work for yourself, and spend your efforts empowering others to move into a life of freedom and passion. I have others in my group who feel as I do. It all started with that one moment.

This industry is a great one. There are many success stories. I bet if you asked those who are making it when this started, they can tell you. It will be a moment when they drew a line in the sand. A time when they decided the buck stopped with them. A time when they decided they would do what it takes to change their circumstances.

Like it or not, you have 100% control over your attitude. I can teach you everything you need to succeed far better than I have. It will only work if you have the right attitude and determination never again to be controlled by external thoughts, circumstances or people. Then you will feel the power of the prophets, and of the great men and women in history.
