Wealthy mindset subject of seminar

Millionaire Mind event expected to attract hundreds to Cobo for tips on peak potential.
Maureen McDonald / Special to The Detroit News

DETROIT -- More than 700 people are expected to fill the riverfront ballroom of Cobo Center this weekend when Doug Nelson leads a highly energized group in dances, pledges, games and visualizations to make money through the Millionaire Mind Intensive formula.

"Becoming wealthy is not about big cars," laughs Nelson, 38, who lives in Dallas and teaches Millionaire Mind workshops around the world for the Vancouver-based Peak Potentials Training Inc., and drives a Corvette. "It's about being ready to accept life on its terms. Chances are it's going to rain someday; having an ark already built is a good idea."

What changes for people?

"I literally walked out the door with greater focus and clarity for how to take our business to the next level in order to live with purpose, passion and prosperity," said Jill Jordan, co-owner of Smart Women's Coaching in Farmington Hills, who attended twice before.

Here are a few answers from Nelson on the economy and increasing wealth:

Q . Detroit has an image of an auto industry is in turmoil, growing job cuts and city scandals. How can you turn this image around?

A . The people in Detroit are harder on themselves than the rest of the country. Many cities are affected by problems with dwindling manufacturing jobs. Other towns booted out their mayors. Tough situations, not positive situations, capture the national attention. Remember, Detroit could become the world leader for building automobiles with alternative energy.

Q . Do you see the nation's economy situation as cyclical?
A . Yes. After every major recession and depression comes expansion. It goes up and down with frequency. This economy will turn around. Before then, set the stage for capitalizing on the turnaround. How you educate yourself now will determine what happens. Detroiters have an opportunity to lead the country in a different, a positive direction.

Q . How do people cope with the sky-falling bad news?
A . You ought to be out there selling umbrellas to protect people from falling shards of sky. Look up. Everything is on sale right now. Buy foreclosed houses or cheap stock. Rockefeller made millions during the Depression. Rich people look for opportunities this situation left behind.

Q . What do you call a financial blueprint?
A . T. Harv Eker, founder of this work and author of "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind," found people's beliefs, habits and traits, confidence levels had direct impact on their ability to produce and maintain money. Eker identified exercises to uncover individual beliefs and declarations you recite every day to shift your mind into the game of wealth.

Q . What do I do with this blueprint?
A . I've come very close to dying in a natural gas accident in 2003. If I learned anything, it was the gift of life. I don't sweat the small stuff. I know I can generate money. If I share any lesson, it is to tell people to write down their goals and set up an action plan. Do what engages their hearts. Now is the time. In three or four years, tops, the economy will rebound.

Jimmy Williams: How To Make Money During A Recession

How To Make Money During A Recession

Jimmy Williams

October 27, 2008

The status of the economy can change drastically and quite unpredictably. At one time, stocks may be up, fuel prices are stable, and the cost of food is manageable, and a day later, the prices of stocks tumble, the cost of gas skyrockets, and food has become unaffordable. Such a scenario would be termed as an economic recession.

Though not permanent, an economic recession does have impacts in society, some of these effects are good while some are bad. Generally, in terms of work, the employment rate may go down. At this time, it is not exactly easy to find a job, since most companies are taking precautions about expenses. So how to make money during a recession?

But did you know that you can earn money even during a recession? Why waste your time in search of unavailable job openings when you can generate income for yourself with the help of the internet? The answer lies in internet marketing, a strategy that has provided benefits for millions of people around the world.

There are many disciplines that fall under internet marketing, and they all have the potential to generate you income, and you can also do so when you work from home. It does not take extensive computer experience or even a degree in programming to be able to reap the rewards of an effective internet marketing strategy.

Basically, internet marketing makes it possible for products and services to be advertised, seen by potential buyers, and purchased, and everything is done online. Through a well designed and effective website, and with network marketing techniques, you can easily reach a large number of people and make sales. Here are just some examples of ways by which internet and network marketing can make money for you, even during a recession.

Content is valuable across the web, as this determines if a certain website is relevant, informative, and is authoritative on a subject matter. This is why expert writing services are very much in demand. Article marketing involves the creation and selling of content specifically written for specialized niches or sites. You can make money by providing article writing services, or you can compose articles in a niche that you are adept in, and sell them online.

Aside from article marketing, another powerful strategy that helps generate income for work at home businessmen is affiliate marketing. Think of it as becoming a salesman for a specific product, and you come up with our own methods to be convincing and to encourage others to buy from you. Your rewards are determined based on how many you can sell.

In the realm of network marketing, product sellers seek the assistance of affiliates, who are just like online salesmen. Products that are sold in this way can be software, website memberships, e-books, and tons more. Affiliates put up ads and content on their own websites, contact as many people as possible through email, forums, blogs, and the like, and get them to buy the said product. Affiliates are then paid a generous commission for every successful sale they make.

As you can see, internet marketing gives you possibilities to work with. If you are resourceful and willing to exert the extra effort, you can make money even during the most trying times in an economic recession.

Home Based Business - Choose the Right Home Business Today is Guaranteed Financial Freedom Tomorrow By Cindy Floyd

Are you feeling comfortable in your job today with all the economic uncertainty? Are you tossing around the idea of a home based business or joining a network marketing company but are worried about the reputation of the industry?

Well let me tell you something; you really need to get over that. If you do your research you will find that many larger well known companies like Avon, Shaklee, NaturesOwn are all network marketing companies with very successful track records and many people respectfully making good yearly incomes.

How do you define a network marketing company?

In its simplest terms you have a product or service to sell, you contract with distributors to sell the product or service and give them a percentage based on their efforts. This is no different than the sales department of a large pharmaceutical company, or a manufacture like Xerox?

Most people get nervous because of a few highly publicized bad apples in the industry that took peoples money and never provided a legitimate product or service, absconded with the money and everyone was left high and dry. I guess we might say the same thing today about our mortgage lenders, who make loans to people knowing they could not pay them back and they walked off with commissions and large bonuses. Every business opportunity will or can produce bad apples, and none should be judged based on the ugly few.

The network marketing model is still a fantastic business model to provide you with a steady income stream especially in these slow economic times. If you spend some time doing your due diligence to find the right home business opportunity, you will reap huge dividends in the end.

How do you pick the right network marketing company?

The number one key is to know how long the company has been in business. If they are less than one year old you might want to wait. However, others will tell you if it's the right product it's best to get in on the ground floor. And financially that would be correct. You have to make that call based on the product or service.

Number two is the product something everyone wants or will use? Knowing that your product is in high demand will ensure longevity of the company. What industry is it in? Is it an industry that has a strong customer base and will allow you to produce niche products in the future? And don't worry about how much competition there is in the market, the more the merrier.

Last but certainly not least, what does the pay plan look like. Not all pay plans are made equally. Make sure you understand the plan thoroughly; many people are disillusioned after they spend money and time recruiting and selling to end up with pennies. That's a sure way to give up on the business opportunity and call the industry a scam.

So you shouldn't shy away from the network marketing industry. The model is sound and now is one of the best times to start your own home based business.

Much of your home business success is based on your marketing skills. If you would like to learn more about how you can become a successful online business entrepreneur visit my blog at http://www.BuildingOnlineBusinessSuccess.com

Slipping standard of living squeezes middle class

BY JOHN GALLAGHER FREE PRESS BUSINESS WRITER Ron and Laurie Kopack are educated, hard-working suburban Detroit homeowners who, by American middle-class standards, should have earned comfortable family evenings, a little peace of mind and a few luxuries. Instead, they are struggling. Ron, an electrician, spent most of his summer living in a tent city while doing flood repairs in Iowa because he couldn't find work at home. Laurie, who just got a bachelor's degree but is paid only $15 per hour, faces $30,000 in student debt and a teenager coming of age with his dad often gone. "The whole American dream, that's a snow job," Laurie says. "I mean, who tried to sell us that? Is that to keep us good consumers?" Without question, the U.S. economy is an engine of prosperity that produces comfort and wealth admired worldwide. But the Kopacks' plight illustrates an uneasy truth for millions today: Our middle-class standard of living, a seemingly unstoppable vehicle that has carried generations from dirt-floor cabins to manicured suburban subdivisions, has sputtered and stalled. This is a long-term shift, under way long before this year's financial crisis made the economy the key issue in the presidential campaign. The common link is debt. It's swallowing family budgets, with the average household now owing more than $110,000 while saving only about $400 a year. Much of this decade's middle-class spending -- critical to the nation's economic growth -- has been fueled by borrowing. But forces other than debt are pulling down the standard of living. Increased borrowing has helped mask the fact that middle-class household incomes have stagnated for years as expenses rise from cradle to grave. Health care, college education, food and energy costs have risen far more rapidly than inflation. Retirement is riskier: One study -- done before the latest stock market dive stripped $2 trillion from retirement plans -- suggests eight in 10 workers face a lower living standard in retirement. So it is that in El Paso, Texas, Ivonne Moreno, 37, a single mother of two teens, crosses the border to Mexico to find cheaper doctors and medicines because she can't afford U.S. health care. In Tampa, Dalia Pereira, 59, a veteran ticket agent with Northwest Airlines, says cutbacks by the airline have reduced her pay to what agents made in 1996. And in rural Iowa, Scott Davis, 33, and his wife have become a three-income family -- she's a teacher while he farms and runs a trucking business -- yet they pinch pennies at the grocer, limit trips to town, eat out less and worry more. The implosion of major Wall Street firms has pushed the economy to the top of the news in recent weeks. But Wall Street isn't feeling any pain today that middle-income families haven't been struggling with for years. Americans' incomes were losing ground to inflation even in 2002-04, when the national economy was booming, gasoline was selling for $1.50 a gallon and subprime mortgages weren't yet a problem. With gas prices at record levels this year and families burdened with rising debt and falling home prices, the likelihood of Americans seeing their incomes keep pace with inflation grows less and less. Even so, many have faith in the economy's resilience. Certainly, the United States remains a wealthy country, the fruit of decades of innovation and hard work. Productivity, or output per worker per hour, has risen steadily for generations, thanks to new technology and higher education levels. For this reason, Dana Johnson, chief economist with Dallas-based Comerica Inc., says the free market will correct itself as it has in the past. "At the end of the day, we have an incredibly productive economy that's going to continue to get even more productive and evolve in reaction to the changing relative price of things," he says. "The idea that you would look to the future with the idea that standards of living in the United States are generally going to be lower is absurd to me." Others argue that unemployment and inflation remain modest by historical standards. But Jared Bernstein, an economist with the Washington, D.C.-based think tank Economic Policy Institute, says almost none of the new wealth created by rising productivity of recent years has made its way to the middle class -- the broad swath of U.S. households generally described as those making around $40,000 to $100,000 a year, although no official definition exists. Productivity has risen 20% since 2000, he notes, while working families' incomes lost ground to inflation in five of the past seven years. "What's really been violated here is that the bakers themselves, who have been baking a better pie, are ending up with smaller slices," Bernstein says. "We're not talking about the Great Depression," he adds. "We're not talking about massive homelessness. We're not even talking about huge losses. We are talking about stagnation, and we're also talking about inequality." Charles Ballard, an economist at Michigan State University, agrees that prosperity gains have gone mostly to those at the top. "This is a rising tide that has lifted about a quarter of the boats a lot, a quarter of the boats some, and the other half of the boats has essentially not been lifted at all," he says. Rising prices, debt Middle- and working-class Americans' standard of living has been buffeted by the disappearance of manufacturing jobs in states like Michigan, by aggressive marketing of consumer debt and by household incomes' failure since the late 1990s to keep up with inflation. From 1999 through mid-2008, the price of milk has risen 35%, ground beef 54%, eggs 128% and gasoline 244%, government data show. Yet middle-income Americans saw their yearly household incomes fall by $408 during that period when adjusted for inflation, the Census Bureau reports. Over that time, Americans turned more and more to credit. Credit card and other consumer debt, not counting the dramatic growth in mortgages, has soared 150% since 1994, more than four times faster than inflation, according to Federal Reserve Board data. The increasingly easy availability of credit to fuel consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of the U.S. economy, has been important to growth as real income has stagnated. Consumers aren't hapless victims in the explosion of debt; not only rising costs, but also their expectations for how they should live have led them to take on debt -- for necessities and luxuries from cars to college educations, vacations and more. Most families are getting by -- even if the value of their home has fallen or a secure retirement program has been converted to a voluntary plan that is exposed to stock market swings. Still, economic worry and discontent has taken center stage as the country heads into the home stretch of the presidential campaign. Rising living standards are part of the American story. Over the past century, the steady growth created the middle class, defused economic unrest and helped the nation absorb millions of working-class and immigrant families into the mainstream. Against this backdrop, Jacob Hacker, a political scientist at the University of California at Berkeley who studies the risks facing Americans, says he sees a broad decline in the economic security of most Americans. "The unemployment rate or the inflation rate doesn't capture the degree to which people are at risk of losing their home, or see their finances crumbling, or the risk of high health costs without insurance coverage, or the risk of retiring without adequate income," he says. On the road For Ron and Laurie Kopack of Oak Park and millions like them, what philosopher and economist Adam Smith called the invisible hand -- the knack of free markets to reward effort and innovation -- has become an invisible fist, pummeling even those who show old-fashioned American grit. Certainly Ron, 53, is used to working hard. A unionized electrician who helped build the Chrysler Tech Center in Auburn Hills and the McNamara Terminal at Detroit Metro Airport, he has spent several months on the road this year, first in West Virginia and more recently in Iowa, seeking the jobs he cannot find at home. In Iowa, he worked 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, repairing flood damage at a Cargill grain plant in Cedar Rapids. Living in a small tent in a campground filled with itinerant electricians and other tradespeople, Ron says life on the road makes sense only when a job is big enough to pay lots of overtime. When the overtime runs out, he and the other nomads move on. In the meantime, his life, once focused on family and friends in Michigan, has shrunk to encompass little beyond long days of work and phone calls home. "I get back to the tent, by the time I eat and shower and maybe drink a beer, it's time to crash," Ron said this summer in Iowa. "Maybe I'll read for a half an hour. And then up at 3:30 or 4 in the morning. It's not the type of life I consistently want to do for a long time." Yet despite such effort, Ron, and Laurie, 50, a secretary at a college in Detroit, have been unable to put away savings toward retirement. They don't know how they'll pay for their son Leo's college tuition in a few years, particularly after going in debt for Laurie's recent college education. "We're not financial planners," Laurie says, sitting in the living room of the family's bungalow. "We haven't done everything right. But we certainly don't live extravagantly. Our vacations have been camping trips. ... I'm not begging on the corner. It hasn't come to that. We're just doing what it takes to get by. But it's not good, and it's not normal." It is startling for families like the Kopacks how different their lives feel from their upbringing. Laurie's father, a plumber, raised six children on one income while Laurie's mother stayed home with the children. Their family lived in a suburban waterfront house on popular Lake St. Clair and still managed to save money long-term. That secure, slowly improving family lifestyle, once so common as to virtually define America, has become increasingly hard to find in a world of rising prices, risky employment and rocketing debt. "There's no way we could afford that today," Laurie says. "Things have changed radically." Canary in a coal mine Michigan is a good place to help bring this story into focus, and not just because families like the Kopacks abound here. Michigan is the nation's economic story writ large: The state gave birth to the American middle class in the early years of the 20th Century, as rising productivity in the new auto industry boosted incomes for millions of working families. Today, though, Michigan's pain is a portent for what the rest of the nation might soon be feeling. Layoffs are rising as national unemployment is at the highest level in five years. High gas prices have crimped travel plans, with the Federal Highway Administration reporting that Americans have driven 53.2 billion miles less from last November through June than during the same period the year before. These economic pressures, known to Michigan families for years, are increasing elsewhere. And, as a result, Americans everywhere are dialing down their lifestyles in ways large and small. They are giving up vacations and putting off trips to the dentist. They're dropping out of health clubs. They're packing their lunch instead of buying it, taking in roommates to share living expenses. Some of the adjustments, like Ron Kopack's summer in a tent city, run counter to what most Americans think of as their promised standard of living. In Oregon City, Ore., landscaper Gordon Westfall, 39, still walks with a limp two years after an accident mangled his foot because he and his wife, April, could not afford health insurance. Like Ron Kopack's months-long exile from home in search of work, Gordon Westfall's limp doesn't show up in the nation's economic statistics. But it says a lot about how Americans live today. Political scientist Hacker, in his book "The Great Risk Shift: The New Economic Inequality and the Decline of the American Dream," wrote that the American dream itself is at risk. "It is a fixed American belief that people who work hard, make good choices and do right by their families can buy themselves permanent membership in the middle class," he says. "The rising tide of economic risk swamps these expectations." Trying times Some ideas to help working families might emerge from this year's presidential campaign. Repeated campaign trips to Michigan by Democratic candidate Barack Obama and Republican John McCain demonstrate that, if nothing else, the nation is focusing on economic issues. But in the meantime, Laurie Kopack expects Ron to spend many more months on the road. Ron is slowly moving up the list of unionized electricians on a job-call list in the Detroit area. Several hundred names remain on the list ahead of him. When he moved into his tent city in Iowa, Ron met other electricians from Michigan, and he and a few of the men bought a refrigerator and installed it in their campground. But they had to padlock it when they were away so others didn't steal their food. For Laurie, the image of itinerant workers living in tents reminds her of photos of Depression-era Civilian Conservation Corps camps. She says the late songwriter Woody Guthrie, who put the Great Depression to song, should come back to write an anthem for today's struggling families. "These are historical times, I'm afraid," Laurie says. And she gives a small, mirthless laugh. Contact JOHN GALLAGHER at 313-222-5173 or gallagher@freepress.com.

Down Economy Only Means OpportunityBy Michael Cassidy

Michael CassidyLevel: BasicAn executive with two decades experience and specialization in operational turnaround within the non-profit sector. Relatively new to network marketing, yet finding great satisfaction ... ...

We cannot avoid the headlines covering the economy, splashed with photos of Wall Street employees carting personal effects out of their offices or holding their heads in their hands on the floor of the stock exchange. Banks and bankers running scared, foreign banks drooling over the prospect of owning United States based financial firms, we consumers waiting for the next round of bad news and our fearless politicians running to the microphones in order to save our day and futures.
Future is Yours...want it?
I'm here to tell you, the future is ours, however, only if we want it. I will not share wondrous fairly tales of great riches at every turn, however, I will offer a practical perspective that is easy to adopt. Despite working full-time plus in the non-profit industry, I recently became involved in the network marketing business and I am having the time of my life. Additionally, I have never felt more in control of the destiny of myself and my family. This is no sales pitch and I will not even share the business I am involved with in this article. Unemployment is rising and credit is hard to come by even with stellar ratings -- not good signs for any business. In network marketing, I am in charge of my plan, my path, and my success or failure. I do not rely on an employer in determining my success or potential income -- for the first time in twenty-years, I AM IN CONTROL of my future.
Make a Match
In researching business opportunities I researched many franchises, businesses for sale, and home-based businesses. Despite feeling secure in my employment, the old expression always rings in the back of my mind: "you never know". Throughout my research I ran into a friend that invited me to a meeting. Now, I can just imagine everyone rolling their eyes -- how many meetings have we been invited to and had the forms placed in front of us as our heads were still spinning? This meeting was different -- sure it had the contagious energy, however, the data and products presented matched my family's lifestyle perfectly. I had found my match. I don't recommend becoming a network marketing opportunity meeting groupie, but it does not hurt to attend a few. It is important to find that match.
Know Your Keys
The business opportunity had to have four key elements for me to sign on the bottom line (after reading the fine print - making sure we could keep our first born): great product(s), great support, part-time, and would challenge me as I grew within it. Before hunting out that great business venture, make sure that you think about and fine-tune your requirements and expectations (keep them realistic). I have actually turned people down to join me in this business because just through conversation I determined it was not a match for them and they would not likely achieve success. I saved them their enrollment fees and some future disappointment.
With products we believe in, it is easy to tell everyone on the planet about how great they are -- we want to rush on the rooftops and let the world know -- it is exciting. I love the products I represent and hope I can share them with the world. Imagine my excitement when I sat in that meeting and knew I had found the perfect match for me and my family. I've been sharing it since along with the business opportunity and it has been a great experience.
In regard to support, some opportunities sign you up and then set you free, others hold your hand for months or years -- I was looking for something in the middle yet had the hand-holding when I felt it was necessary. I am new to this, it is part-time, and I don't like to be pushed. Know your needs in regard to support prior to researching your opportunities.
Lastly, I wanted an opportunity to grow personally and professionally in addition to a business opportunity. I am a firm believer in being a life-long learner, and I am learning more part-time now that I ever did as a full-time college student. Each day presents new and exciting challenges and I have been exposed to so many new skills as I navigate through my new journey.
Headlines or Deadlines
We are fortunate to live in the land of the free and home of the brave. The choice is ours in regard to the current economic climate -- do we place our hands in the fate of politicians, bankers, or Wall Streeters or do we take control and determine our own destiny. I recommend everyone take steps to ensure their future is in their own hands, it provides a great level of comfort and security. All of the activities I perform part-time lead to my success. I had set a personal deadline of finding an opportunity before the end of 2008, with that big item checked off the list I am slowly working on the many remaining. What is your deadline? I wish you the best of luck and the greatest prosperity.
Michael Cassidy is a proven non-profit executive known for team development and operational turn-around. He has applied his skills to network marketing and is finding success and does all he can to share it with the world. He is always looking for new team members to join him on the exciting journey.

MLM and the Current Financial Problems

By Chris Kosman Platinum Quality Author

There is a lot of talk and coverage from the media the last few months about the current financial problems the US economy is facing that threatens to drag the whole world into a global recession. But what will be the consequences of that crisis to the MLM industry?

Actually, the MLM network marketing industry is to benefit from all this turmoil for many reasons whether we dive into a recession or hopefully manage to avoid it. First let us take the worst case scenario that we do get into a recession or even a depression.

In that case, many corporations will start lay offs in a big scale and many people will find themselves unemployed, while others under reduced salary. Such things could lead to an increase in the people who are looking for opportunities in order to start a home based business and supplement their income. Of course the great increase won't come for those who lost their job, as they would be desperately looking for a new job to survive, but from the rest. It would come from people who will keep their jobs, but would keep feeling a constant threat that their job is the next in the line if another round of lay offs would happen. Probably a percentage of them would be working under reduced salary, so they would have another incentive to start looking for alternatives to supplement their income, as probably their paycheck wouldn't suffice.

Many MLM opportunities are poised to benefit from that influx of new members and many distributors would manage to fill their downlines fast and build networks that would give them passive income in the years to come.

But even if we hopefully manage to avoid a crisis and things would go back to normal, many people took their lesson from what little we have experienced till now. While not in a big scale we still had lay offs, and many people saw their investments in the stock market falling. Investments that were supposed to provide for them when they reach the age of retirement. Add to that that the decline in the house prices hurt a lot of people that were relying on the increasing value of their homes in order to draw equity from them through refinancing to cover a part of their expenses, and you realize how hard people were hit.

Under all this, it is natural that many people learned how dangerous is when you rely on others for your economic future and are going to seek for alternatives.
