Here lately I’ve been receiving a lot of questions, basically wondering how I feel about our recent economic situations. The discussions are everywhere, from the grocery stores to church, even at the dinner table. People running up to me repeating CNN figures and fear filled warnings. Well, you want to know how I feel?
This is how I feel…
I’m not really worried at all myself. All the signs have been there to show us that this all was going to take place. But the thing that most people forget, or possibly just don’t know, is that more millionaires are created during economic struggles than any other time. And with us taking advantage of the Internet age, I have no doubt that it will be even more millionaires created during this depression, or what ever you want to call it, period than has ever been created in history.
We can not take this time to allow fear, lack or limitation to come into our minds at this point. To be honest, that type of thinking is what got us here in the first place, I could talk about that for a while in itself but I’ve already touched on that a little bit in a previous blog, and plan to dig deeper into that later. Another reason not to panic is because there are many things you can do at this time. Most of us just won’t commit to doing them. But honestly, it really is time for us all to start heading toward true independence and freedom.
I personally wouldn’t save money right now because really with the way inflation is going to continue to rise your money will continue to lose it’s value. It’s time to be creative with our invesments!
Here is my opinion on some simple steps these days (that I am personally willing to show you how to accomplish) to create your own bailout plan and become one of the millionaires that usually spring from these times. Everything that I am suggesting is only because I myself, along with many other creative money-makers and soon to be millionaires are taking these type of steps to continue on the push toward wealth and freedom despite the economic woes.
(Own yourself)
I’m a big fan of Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. He really knows what he’s talking about, in fact he actually predicted the situations that we are in now. He laughs about people being amazed cause he says anyone that pays attention can see what’s happening in the economy and can actually always benefit from it. That’s where the problem comes in with us most of the time. Cause the Government makes money issues, investments and things of that nature look so boring and out of our grasp that we usually choose to just ride the mutual fund horse or stick to saving, saving, and more saving. Anyway, Robert seems to think the same way many of us have been thinking for a long time, that network marketing is the next big millionaire maker for the up coming years, regardless of the economy. The leveraging power of a network marketing company and the independence and freedom that can come along with it. Not only that, the investment is cheap in almost every case. If a person had $1,000 (including the small start up fees for most network marketing companies..usually no more than $100) ready to put toward there network marketing business these days, that could possibly start you on the path to creating the life of your dreams. You also help others gain wealth and freedom along the way. It’s a beautiful system and it’s never really been network marketing people were against (even if they thought they were) it was the people that would sometimes represent network marketing. I’ll say this as well, don’t just say you have a business, get paper work. It’s only $100 in most places to obtain a LLC. which we all know comes right along with, wrapped up nice and tight is…tax breaks! Everyone should get an LLC or something more during these times, even if you don’t just have a personal business just set up one and call it a consulting company. (We can get into that later somewhere)
(Creative passive income investments)
A good investment option that really doesn’t seem to be going any where, at least at the moment is the Forex (Foreign Exchange) market. In order for someone to make money in the Forex or currency market all you need is change in the market. Which we know happens all the time…like right now. When the dollar goes up or down and the same with other currencies. That also allows you to create wealth on a global scale. And with this beautiful Internet age we are able to purchase Forex Robots or even participate in programs that allow you to passively create an income of the Forex and currency market without already having to have millions of dollars just to play. All this without knowing how to actually trade in the Forex game as well…and to add value some programs will allow you to earn while you learn.
(Why Precious Metals, Why Now)
Another thing is the precious metals game. This is where you want to invest to gain actual value! I think we have a good ten year time frame to try and purchase plenty of gold and silver (pure). There are companies out there that will allow you to transfer your IRA or 401ks to the precious metals market. Not only are things like gold and silver on the rise they hold actual value, not like our worthless paper money along with the little computer generated money numbers. Precious metals are something you definitely want to start trying to secure your future with (and yes, regular ol’ people can purchase gold, silver and other precious metals). I suggest checking out the info at the Monex website. You can call them as well and get their FREE DVDs about why now is the time to invest in precious metals…800.444.8317
(Asset Protection)
Offshore asset protection! Now is not the time to have all of our eggs in one basket. Especially a basket that the bottom is falling out of. In my opinion learning about and obtaining offshore banking accounts is a must! Well, that’s if you want to keep your money. And seriously, don’t think all of this is so hard to do. Remember we’re in the Internet age. I’m not saying it won’t take a good plan and a plan you stick to. But it’s not one of those things they try to make seem is out of reach. We often think we have to already be rich to participate in certain things, usually leaving use not knowing where to look to become rich in the first place. That’s what makes right now one of the greatest opportunities in the world ever for us…cause the Internet has eliminated boundries and has allowed the little guys to come on in and play.
(Take control of you own life…don’t wait on others and stop passing blame)
We have to start becoming independent overall. Start where you are and basically start taking small action steps to create savings. Like eating out less, cut down on bad habits, lower T.V. packages if you’re really not watching all 700 channels (lol) and whatever you can do that doesn’t just make you feel totally bummed out. Then, I would suggest placing those savings or 10% of the income that is already coming in into some type of passive money making machine. As I stated before there are several well respected programs out there that allow you to passively gain wealth with investment tools like the Forex Market and other offshore money producing vehicles. I say this in all honesty, I made 111% on my money (investments) in this last month! Despite “The sky falling”. I am well diversified, I have a network marketing company, I am securing myself with monthly gold and silver investments, I have an offshore debit card, I’m in the process of choosing an offshore bank that fits my needs, I’m looking into even gaining international citizenship, and I’ve been enjoying life the whole time. Trust me, I’m not saying all this to brag cause there’s nothing really to brag about. This is really regular stuff to think about and do these days. I’m just a regular guy that searched for knowledge in creating wealth regardless of the economy. I have also change the way I think. I no longer look at the doom and gloom of things, instead I dwell on only the things that I want to experience. You’d be amazed at how thought and the mind play into life in general. I’m not rich yet (YET). And I don’t have some special connection or family money or none of that. This stuff can be done now days by the common man and woman. Oh yeah, work to get out of debt. There are plenty of plans and places that can help with that. Try to own assets. Research ways to get that mortgage paid off as soon as you can…there are also programs out there for that. Always back yourself with value like gold or knowledge.
This is what I am doing during these times. I’m not worried, I don’t have to focus on fear…fear is really an illusion anyway, and I’m getting ready to celebrate my 30th birthday with a bash next weekend. So really you guys don’t let CNN tell you how to feel and lead you to believe that the sky is falling and that’s final. The news and taking the advice of the same people that got us twisted up into this mess is really just crazy right now. They know that fear equals more control for them! Things are heading toward a rough time don’t get me wrong but as I said before, I think with the methods that I am taking as I stated above, that I will be one of the new millionaires that pull out of this generations economic crisis. I really hope all of you reading this will be some of the next millionaires rising up from the dust. See you guys at the top! (And please keep in mind that these are all just my honest opinions and proven personal methods that I have taken myself for my own personal bailout plan).
Peace & Blessings!

I have a personal bailout plan of my own! Do you?
Let’s discuss debt, the economy and where fear comes in to play with our modern day, “The sky is falling” lifestyle.
First of all, let us define money. Money is the energy of exchange or transfer of value. It is neither good nor bad, it just is. You build wealth by building some type of value within you, and then extending this value outside of you. For example, you can learn to be a doctor, and thereby build that type of value within you. Or you can learn how to start a business that provides a service to people. You build value within you, and then you extend that outside, through trade or other means, and in exchange of that extension you are compensated with cash money. Cash money is merely an exchange of value within and between beings. See, money in itself is neither good nor bad. It is just an exchange of the underlying values between two or more participants.
I am sure you all know that before cash money was invented in it’s present form, people used to trade by barter. They would exchange goods. Finally, one day, a powerful merchant family said “We have another way we can do this”. I believe it was the Medici family of Florence, although the Romans and other civilizations also had their own coins. Anyway, the first paper money worked as follows. A trader would go exchange his or her goods for gold. They then take this gold to deposit it with the Medici, and the Medici write up a paper with their signature and seal, a paper that would represent the gold that was deposited with them. This solved various security and portability issues and increased trade. This paper, upon return to the Medici, would be exchanged into its gold equivalent. That is where the gold standard came from. This system when it came to added interest and paying back more than was received for loans and such was somewhat flawed to begin with. But even moreso now days since our paper doesn’t even have the gold or anything of value to back it. We circulate paper and numbers these days. Debt, by its very nature, is designed to fail for a certain percentage of the population, no matter how much effort or care they put into it working for them! And it is simply because there is not enough money created for the interest requested. The only reason this illusion has managed to run this far is that there are millions of players. Every now and then, the debt bubble bursts, but someone somewhere comes and rescues it, again with more debt and more conditions of control. It happens to individuals, companies and countries. And it keeps rising, getting bigger and bigger.
Think for a moment about the mortgage game that many of us play. (Mortgage). What does that word mean? Where does it come from? Split it up and look at its origins. Mort, muerto, mortuary, morgue… do you see the root? Gage, engage. Engaged till death. Why would your house loan be called a name that has its word origins from the words that mean death and engagement? Why those two? Of all the millions of words, why those two? Hmmm.
Alright, back to this debt thing. What does debt make you feel; especially when you cannot pay it or you are worried about how to pay it or missing a payment? It makes you feel fear. Whatever is scaring you is attempting to control your thoughts and actions and is stealing your energy for its own growth. There are two ways to grow. Out of fear and out of love. The fear-based growth works, but it is destined for eventual collapse, simply because it is not real. Nothing real can be threatened, and nothing that is unreal exists but as an illusion. This is not the time to blame the issuers of debt, or anyone else for that matter. There is no judgment or guilt in the matter. Only energetic facts. The minute you start playing a blame and judgment game, you enter into the victim position, and that is no good for you. Not good at all!
So really, debt is a product of fear, and a deep seated belief in not having and not being able to have. Not the other way around. And fear is a means of control. We all play the control game. We play it with our spouses, family, friends, competitors, customers, and so on. What happens when you feel that you are in control of another person? You feel powerful, and they feel drained. But, there is a rule that says “As above, so below”. The physical is evidence of the spiritual. Fear, were you to observe it at an energy level, leads to the victimizer sucking the energy out of the victim. It is an energy game. When one is in fear, they lose energy to those who put fear into them. Isn’t that the way any abusive relationship works? It does not matter whether this relationship is between people, institutions or countries.
The fact is this: debt is a function of fear and self-worth issues. You will find that people with more love of their own self, and high self-esteem, are very wealthy and prosperous, especially on the long-term, and if they choose to be. Prosperity is a natural result of love and self-worth. Look at the rich. Even if they have debt, their asset column is longer than their debt column. They only use debt as a tool. And they always have more assets than debt. And what is their demeanor like? Confident, stable, of high self-worth and self-esteem, and their love column is often longer than their fear column. They may have fears, of course, but their fears do not outweigh their love and passion for who they are, what they do, and the world they live in.
Now consider people with debt problems, or countries with debt problems. What is the personality of such people? Chaos, fear, never having enough, support issues, and so on. These do not arise because of debt. The debt arises because of these mental states. Remember, we are not judging anything here. We are merely observing energetic facts. There is no need of tying a thought and an emotion to that fact. Now, the debt merely represents them losing their life energy to an external entity. But they only lose it because they accept to do so. Only they can say “I accept”. And only they can say “OK, I have had it with this crap, I put my foot down, and I am now seeing myself differently.”
The debt rope is always being thrown at us all the time. You don’t have to grab it. The world has built a very large global fear-ego, and this fear-ego is expressing itself in various physical means to maintain itself. Our world is now a world of contracts that try to commit you into debt (we now even have phone contracts that penalize you for not using the service for a certain amount of time!); credit cards that do the same; jobs that scare you towards that end. But none of these systems are to blame. Only you can accept them. And they can only work on you when you accept them. These big bad monsters are rubber ducks, because they depend on your agreement with them for their own functioning. Take responsibility, and you will find then, and only then, that you have response ability. And avoid these debt traps. You must unplug yourself from the group consciousness of the Fear Ones, and join the Love Ones. It may be scary as you make the switch, for there is a gap to cross. Things may fall off to make space for new ones of the new way. But once you cross it you will wonder how you ever had agreed to live any other way.
We have to look at it this way. There is nothing really wrong with debt, when used as a tool. But when it arises, as it mostly does, from fear and negative self-worth beliefs, then it is a control game being played, a painful one at that. A game we created and continue to create.
Arise out of fear and belief in inadequacy. Arise out of issues with negative self-worth. Recognize that there is a game being played. An energetic game with simple rules. As above, so below. Change your above (your mind/thoughts), and your below (your physical actions) will change automatically.
Fear and ignorance are at the root of all the problems we have faced in the past and continue to face today! You want to get out of debt and create your path to health, wealth and wisdom? Turn off your T.V’s and radios and start to search for the RIGHT answers inside of yourself. Life happens through you, not to you. You don’t have to be a victim of the non sense that is taking place around us today! (It’s time to start being creative with our investments and our lifestyle. That’s how the REAL big boys do it!)
