An Inspiring Story :
I arrived at the address and honked the horn and after waiting a few minutes I walked to the door and knocked..
'Just a minute', answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90's stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie.
By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.
There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware..
'Would you carry my bag out to the car?' she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. 'It's nothing', I told her.. 'I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.'
'Oh, you're such a good boy, she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked,
'Could you drive through downtown?'
'It's not the shortest way,' I answered quickly..
'Oh, I don't mind,' she said. 'I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice.
I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. 'I don't have any family left,' she continued in a soft voice.. 'The doctor says I don't have very long.' I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.
'What route would you like me to take?' I asked.
For the next two hours, we drove through the city.
She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.
We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds.
She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, 'I'm tired. Let's go now'.
We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.
Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her.
I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.
'How much do I owe you?' She asked, reaching into her purse.
'Nothing,' I said.
'You have to make a living,' she answered.
'There are other passengers,' I responded.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.
She held onto me tightly.
'You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,' she said 'Thank you.'
I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light.. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life..
I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?
On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life.
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.
But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID ~BUT~ THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL!
You won't get any big surprise in 10 days if you send this to ten people. But, you might help make the world a little kinder and more compassionate by sending it on and reminding us that often it is the random acts of kindness that most benefit all of us.

- The implicit lesson in this is : It is all about how you make
people FEEL. It applies to everything from Business to our
Personal lives. It is also the Secret to being a Successful
Marketer.

"The Secret - How To Create Real Wealth"
What if your mortgage payment was always just one push of a button away? What if you never had to worry about money? What if you had all the time in the world to do the things you've always dreamed of and to spend it with those you cherish most?
Don't you deserve to have your life back?
All you need is leverage, and it's one click away.
Go to this site :
https://daegansmith.infusionsoft.com/go/partner/kader1/
I'd like to share something with you that will prove profound in nature where wealth creation is concerned.
Let me share with you a quick story that will bring our points to light . . .
When I first tasted success in my little online business, the WAY that I created that initial seed of success, was by NOT following the status quo (no surprise).
I saw all the big downline reports, and I LEARNED that this success was created by buying and calling leads. This method didn't work for me. It almost destroyed my credit.
Yet the goal remained strong. I wasn't willing to quit.
I decided to change the method by which I was to reach my goal. I didn't have success calling leads so I didn't.
I added leverage to the equation. Instead of buying and calling leads, I decided to generate my own online.
This ONE change was the first THE game changer for me.
Instead of trying to call and "convince" people to join my business I put myself in a business designed to allow them to convince themselves without me being there.
I knew that if I could just get enough people to convince themselves I'd succeed.
I was right.
A couple years and 8,471+ some odd people later I had achieved my goal without calling a soul. (Later I leveraged this same method into much larger organizations much quicker, but that's a story for later).
I realized that for this methodology to work, it wasn't about me being better at selling, rather it was about me FINDING as many people as I could who would be most likely to say Yes.
That's what I focused on. Getting good at finding those people.
That's lesson #1 - Flexibility Of Modality.
Setting goals is important, but don't handcuff yourself to the method by which you shall achieve your end.
There's often, a better, smarter, and easier way to go about getting what you want if you allow for it.
What I see most people faltering at is simultaneously with setting a goal (no fault there), almost instinctively locking themselves into "HOW" that goal must be achieved. This is wrong.
Once you learn to be flexible in the manner in which that goal can be obtained you will find yourself hitting that goal far more readily and with far greater ease.
To this day when I set new goals for myself I often plot multiple paths to achievement based on my knowledge base and experience.
You should follow suit.
As they say "there's more than one way to skin a cat"
On to lesson #2, which is even more imperceptible but far more powerful for your personal long term wealth creation goals once realized.
This one, you'll take with you, no matter what you do for the rest of your life. It's applications are truly universal.
Once I had my first "taste" of success, here's what mattered more than anything else . . .
After I amassed a team through my own efforts, the first thing that I did was I turned around and started a marketing co-op where I and the rest of our team pooled our money together to take advantage of
advertising opportunities none of us could have accessed individually.
We all pooled our money together to advertise in bulk.
As a result, our individual losses were minimized, we all reaped the rewards of the successes uniformly, and we simply got more traffic and leads because our combined buying power got us wholesale prices on our
advertising.
In other words, we had more success simply because combined we spent more and got more for it and grew steadily past the 8,471 person mark because of this.
Now here's where things get interesting.
The whole time we grew, I put my money back into two things:
1. Paying down past debt
2. Our current successes
Why?
This is a powerful positive feedback loop that you'll find the wealthiest among us leveraging routinely (yet, not speaking much to it).
Write that one down.
I think the examples we see of people buying fancy cars or taking crazy expensive vacations are horrible ideals compared to what removing yourself from financial bondages really buys you till you can do all the things you want without any worries.
Too many people turn a quick profit and just as quickly spend that money frivolously on "experiences" to "reward" themselves NOW, but the smartest thing to do is do the opposite.
So, here is Lesson # 2.
True wealth creators don't play a game of how can I look cool or feel rich with my money, rather they play a game of how can I take this profit and turn it into more profits.
The faster you can take your profits, spend them (recycle them), to create more profits the wealthier you will become long term.
It's a habit like anything else and it's based on simple math . . .
If I make $100 today and use $50 of it to do something cool, I've just cut my future profit potential in half, but if, I on the other hand . . .
Take that $100 profits and focus my efforts and buying power on turning it into another $100 profits I've just doubled my wealth again.
That's why I put every dollar I made in those early days into either getting rid of debt or our team co-op.
That co-op was the most powerful wealth creation asset I could buy at the time.
The faster you recycle a dollar of profit into two dollars of profit, and the faster you can complete that cycle over and over again the more wealth you'll create now and later.
Now Stop.
Take a deep breath and let it all soak in for a second, but we're not done yet.
There's still the keystone that pulls all this together that needs to be explored, so focus back in . . .
We know that setting goals, but being open enough to accept different paths to achievement of said goal is step #1, and that proactively and aggressively recycling profits back into more profits gets the wealth creation feedback cycle rolling, but we haven't discussed what makes a good profit investment, an ok profit investment, and what makes a bad profit investment.
It's important we spend a few minutes on these so your ship to wealth is assured to sail.
Bad assets are all things that depreciate or have no tangible value. Things like the proverbial fancy car.
Mediocre assets are things that do appreciate, but are neither liquid nor create a high return on investment. The most glaring example (if you know anything about me) is property.
Exceptional assets for "us" as entrepreneurs are simple.
1. Our niche specific education.
2. Our marketing know how.
3. Anything that builds our list
We live in an information age.
Ideas are our currency. Those with the best ideas (those ideas that help the most people in our specific niche) and that get those ideas out to the largest number of those who seek them have the highest profit potential and hence the highest wealth creation potential.
That is where ALL your leverage lies and where you'll create the fastest profit recycling potential.
Go here to start your journey to creating wealth now:

Good Luck !

Now here's where things get interesting.
The whole time we grew, I put my money back into two things:
1. Paying down past debt
2. Our current successes
Why?
Getting rid of debt buys you freedom and recycling your profits into winners begets more profits.
This is a powerful positive feedback loop that you'll find the wealthiest among us leveraging routinely (yet, not speaking much to it).
Creating freedom and then proactively turning over profits into more profits is the definition of wealth creation.
Write that one down.
I think the examples we see of people buying fancy cars or taking crazy expensive vacations are horrible ideals compared to what removing yourself from financial bondages really buys you till you can do all the things you want without any worries.
Too many people turn a quick profit and just as quickly spend that money frivolously on "experiences" to "reward" themselves NOW, but the smartest thing to do is do the opposite.
So, here is Lesson # 2.
Lesson #2 - Recycle Profits Aggressively To Grow Wealthy Gradually.
True wealth creators don't play a game of how can I look cool or feel rich with my money, rather they play a game of how can I take this profit and turn it into more profits.
The faster you can take your profits, spend them (recycle them), to create more profits the wealthier you will become long term.

Take that $100 profits and focus my efforts and buying power on turning it into another $100 profits I've just doubled my wealth again.
That's why I put every dollar I made in those early days into either getting rid of debt or our team co-op.
That co-op was the most powerful wealth creation asset I could buy at the time.
While others bragged about "cool" trips or nice cars they purchased I bought wealth instead. So should you.
Why do the best seem to make money so easily?
They understand the way wealth is created and now you do too.
Remember this for the rest of your life.
Recycled profits create leveraged profits and leverage profits create wealth.
The faster you recycle a dollar of profit into two dollars of profit, and the faster you can complete that cycle over and over again the more wealth you'll create now and later.
Now Stop.
Take a deep breath and let it all soak in for a second, but we're not done yet.

That is where ALL your leverage lies and where you'll create the fastest profit recycling potential.
Make money, eliminate your debts, recycle your profits into YOU so your know how can solve problems for and enrich others and create massive profits now and ever flowing wealth for YOU later.
Then build a list of "loyal", happy followers, and never a day will money not flow to you.
