"Are You Denying Yourself Prosperity?"

There are people who believe so sincerely in their own failure, who wallow so successfully in guilt and self-pity, and who love so dearly the idea of being able to leech off successful people, that they purposefully and consciously refuse to prosper. They are determined to be liars and losers and to blame the world, their parents, and their neighbors for their misery. These people are to be avoided like the plague. They refuse to be helped and they will be a drain on your patience and eventually on your ammunition box when you put them out of their misery and save the world some valuable time and energy.

These are the pitiful types who refuse to take responsibility for thier own lives and therefore refuse any opportunity to better themselves. Whatever option you offer them to make money and succeed, they will attack, and the rest of their flock will support their self-defeating decision to the hilt. They are pefect examples of the Self-fulfilling prophecy. They are pessimists extraordinaire, but they do it with a smile (and a hug, if you let them). When you associate yourself with these parasites, you are setting yourself up for a financial haemorage. You will be thrown off course and find yourself majoring in minors, losing your belief and enthusiasm, and focusing on what you don't want.

You will deny yourself prosperity and success when you partner with these sheeple. Do not accept them as clients, associates, downline, upline, or sideline. Don't mix with them or their friends. Rather wander alone than with a loser. Protect your mind from the insidious poison of these dangerous deadbeats, these fungal freeloaders. Judge them by the company they keep, by all means. People who hang around with bloodsuckers are seldom billionaires. So next time you meet one of these poisonous pathogens, turn tail and run for the hills. Your bank account and sanity can't afford them. You don't deserve them, and they certainly don't deserve you.

Rather have five good, productive, creative, inspiring, honest, responsible friends that a host of incompetents and wanna-be's. Talk to three good people and be inspired, rather than be exasperated by a lot of nonstarters. Don't deny yourself the good life by deliberately poisoning the well. Find the 3% and reject the 97%.

Book Review

“The Ancestor’s Tale” by Richard Dawkins

In business, we see that the law of sowing and reaping is always at work. For an intellectual recharge, as well as the peace of mind that comes from seeing that your capitalist philosophy is based on real science, the analogy being evolution, I highly recommend this wonderful book by one of the greatest minds of our time.

From From Amazon.co.uk:
Just as we trace our personal family trees from parents to grandparents and so on back in time, so in The Ancestor's Tale Richard Dawkins traces the ancestry of life. As he is at pains to point out, this is very much our human tale, our ancestry. Surprisingly, it is one that many otherwise literate people are largely unaware of. Hopefully Dawkins's name and well deserved reputation as a best selling writer will introduce them to this wonderful saga. The Ancestor's Tale takes us from our immediate human ancestors back through what he calls ‘concestors,’ those shared with the apes, monkeys and other mammals and other vertebrates and beyond to the dim and distant microbial beginnings of life some 4 billion years ago. It is a remarkable story which is still very much in the process of being uncovered. And, of course from a scientist of Dawkins stature and reputation we get an insider's knowledge of the most up-to-date science and many of those involved in the research. And, as we have come to expect of Dawkins, it is told with a passionate commitment to scientific veracity and a nose for a good story.

Dawkins's knowledge of the vast and wonderful sweep of life's diversity is admirable. Not only does it encompass the most interesting living representatives of so many groups of organisms but also the important and informative fossil ones, many of which have only been found in recent years. Dawkins sees his journey with its reverse chronology as ‘cast in the form of an epic pilgrimage from the present to the past [and] all roads lead to the origin of life.’ It is, to my mind, a sensible and perfectly acceptable approach although some might complain about going against the grain of evolution. The great benefit for the general reader is that it begins with the more familiar present and the animals nearest and dearest to us—our immediate human ancestors. And then it delves back into the more remote and less familiar past with its droves of lesser known and extinct fossil forms. The whole pilgrimage is divided into 40 tales, each based around a group of organisms and discusses their role in the overall story.

Genetic, morphological and fossil evidence is all taken into account and illustrated with a wealth of photos and drawings of living and fossils forms, evolutionary and distributional charts and maps through time, providing a visual compliment and complement to the text. The design also allows Dawkins to make numerous running comments and characteristic asides. There are also numerous references and a good index.-- Douglas Palmer

Testimonial

Dear Robin,
I wanted to thank you for your efforts on behalf of all Dollarmaker members. I would like to tell you of one circumstance whereby the information you provided saved my family up front costs of $125,000, provided us with an income of $50,000/year, and passive income from the business of $30,000/year. More importantly, the income from this medical facility has allowed me to stop being on-call on nights and weekends, and to spend more time with my family, other businesses, and our passion for helping parents help their own children. The patients, my partners, and my family are all delighted.
I am a Respiratory Specialist Physician and based on patient need was going to set up a medical laboratory in my field. My family was going to put out the upfront capital and was going to pay for a location, advertising, and operational costs for this business along with dealing with the uncertainty as to whether our facility was going to be a preferred provider compared to other services available. My wife attended one of your Bootcamps 101 alone as I was at work and she purchased your workbook. I read the material that very night and decided to make some big changes to my proposal.
In exchange for profit which I was going to have to share anyway, I negotiated that since I had intellectual capital, qualification, and a track record of being able to set up this facility, that the other partners should put up the money and that I should be paid a consultation fee. In return, the patients of the partners would have first access (a tremendous advantage in the setting of limited resources) and the partners would have equity share. They agreed and this led to the current agreement and the results listed above.
The power of a different way of thinking, information, and action are incredible. Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours,

Kumar Ramlall, BSc,MD,FRCPC,FAAP,FCCP,(Ped. Resp) Feb 13, 2008

"Robin Elliott's teaching has changed the way I do business. I used to think building a business was risky and expensive. Robin showed me how to build my business using no money and no risk; just some time . Not only did I get to meet some winners by going to the boot camp, Robin has continued to take an interest in my success often taking time to respond to my queries. By adding just 1 of his strategies to my experience, IN MY EXISTING BUSINESS, I make an additional $5000 per month. It's not completely work free; I still put in about 8 hours per month maintaining it. Not everything I have tried has worked, and a couple have outright failed; but in spite of that within 7 months of attending his boot camp I was financially free. The point is that besides the initial cost of the boot camp there was no risk whatsoever. I highly recommend anyone looking to take the risk out of business and increase your profits attend this next boot camp. I'll be there!" ~ Patrick Giesbrecht, Abbotsford, BC October, 2007
