"You don't get what you deserve. You get what you focus on, bust your ass for and stay committed to." Grant Cardone I ran into this quote from Grant Cardone and it immediately rang true. Especially in light of a project I and a team of dedicated friends have been working on. All three ingredients have been present. Now we are almost there, almost. But there won't be any relenting on our grip, none whatsoever until this project is a DONE! Because you see, it it not done until ...it's done! It is such a worhtwhile project to me that all the sacrifices my friends and I am doing now will be for NOTHING if weI don't bring it off. Then what have we all worked so hard for? Yes, what is really important to you requires some effort to achieve it. In English you say: "It was worthwhile", meaning "worth the period of time", hence "worth the time". In the Roman languages (as in French) you would say "Ca a valu la peine", meaning "it was worth the effort" or "the labour". Even expressions within our own languages, from sheer experience of peoples, demonstrate that what has value requires work to achieve it. Let's set our dreams high and go for blood to attain them!

Hello! Hello! Here I am again with the 3rd (and last!) episode of More Money Minute # 1: "If you review the times in your past when you made money, you will see that you were, in most cases, delivering a valuable item or service. What you have done before is a good indicator of what you can do again to make money, or to make more money. A good exercise for you is to fully list out what your knowledge, skills and resources are. List out what you have done in the past to make ...money. List out the things you enjoy doing, making or producing. What is your passion? Look at how you can use those skills, knowledge and areas of interest to now produce a valuable item or service, in adequate volume, to receive the amount of money you need? Perhaps you can find a company that needs your knowledge and skills, or perhaps you can start your own business using those skills. Your knowledge, skills and creativity are valuable. Aligned correctly they can be a powerful force that will help you produce valuable products or services in high volume. And for that you may be well rewarded in personal satisfaction, customer appreciation and an abundance of money." See? Right now, as I am writing this, I have the song "If I had a million dollars" playing on the radio in the background! If this isn't a sign I don't wknow what is!!! Flourish and prosper and till next week! Rob

I was just notified by our Firendly FB reminder that 89 friends who liked my More Money Program Page have not heard from me for a while. I have been posting regularly lately but you don't get notified every time so I will rectify this forthwith! I hope you have been doing well. I sure keep busy and looking at all this activity I realized once again the importance of having more than one source of income. As I wrote in the More Money Program, in the "A COMMENT ON FINANCE", sec...tion 8: "3. You should plan to get the total sum of all the money you need from each of the three or four ways or sources. In other words if you need $4,000 per month you should have three or four income sources, any one of which will provide you with that money. E.g., $4,000 from your day job or $4,000 from your Home based business, or $4,000 from Real Estate, etc. If you are self employed and need $ 4,000 this month then do estimates on 3 or 4 or more jobs of that size and work to close them. That way if one source falls through you have enough coming in from the other areas to cover it." There is too much fall-through in this world: people that have one job on which they count are left unemployed and have nothing to fall back on. Too many beans put in one single basket. Multiple sources of income is the solution. It could be on-line sales, real estate management, Tupperware meetings, on-line translations, you name it. But do it: it will increase your survival potential immensely. If you have questions, need advice or direction, let me know, I will gladly assist you. The Best to you all, Rob

Hey! Here I am again. As I said I am going to post some More Money Minutes here and there. I started one last week, (if you want to see the beginning you need to find the post I made last Thursday). Here is episode 2 of MMM 1: "If you are not providing an item or service that others need or want then they will not be willing to exchange their hard earned money for it. If you do have something they want, or consider valuable then they will be willing to exchange their hard ea...rned money for it. So step one is to review what you are doing to provide a valuable item or service. This applies whether you are an employee, a CEO or a self employed person. What are you doing and producing that others are willing to exchange their money for? Are you doing it in enough volume to make the money you need? One way to make more money then, is to produce more of what you are doing, assuming it is valuable and truly needed and wanted by others. Or you may need to figure out, or find, another item or service that people need and want, and figure out how to deliver that in adequate volume to make the amount of money you need. If you are thinking this is not rocket science, you are correct, it is applying common sense and balance to a subject that all too often gets full of silliness and worry and franticness. But sometimes it helps us to be reminded of the basic, simple steps and aspects of life. There can be lots of confusions and accounting mumbo jumbo and marketing facts and figures associated with producing a valuable item or service, but the very basic of making more money is to ensure that you are producing a valuable item or service that others are willing to exchange their hard earned money for." I hope it helps! Of course, I am ALWAYS available to answer any questions you may have. Robert Spick

Do not let yourself be convinced that any of these points are not an ingredient to success, 'cause it's not true. So, let's not allow the work necessary to accomplish our goals discourage us and stand in our path. Let's achieve them and be successful! Robert Spick

HELLO! I decided to write a few tips on making more money and flourishing and prospering whether it be individually, as a family, a company or other. I wrote a few Money Minutes and I decided to share them with you. However, to make it more interesting they will be delivered...in episodes! Without further ceremony, here is Episode 1of Money Minute 1. To know the sequel...check out my More Money Program page next week! Enjoy! "The first thing one needs to know about making mor...e money or paying off their debts is that a person generally gets money in after producing and exchanging a valuable item or service to another person or company. So if you want to make more money and/or pay down your bills then you need to make sure you are delivering a valuable item or service that others need or want. This may sound simple, obvious or silly, but it is actually often overlooked. It is one of the keys to creating financial freedom for yourself. People often run around frantically needing, looking for, or wanting more money and worrying about getting in more money. If they were to put their attention instead on figuring out what item or service they could produce in volume and then exchange it with others, they would be less frantic about money and more in control of making more money."
