The Cold Hard Reality of Money, How to Make Money, How to Double Your Sales, How to Acquire It, How to Make It Multiply, How to Keep Everyone Else's Fingers Off of Yours...
by Kevin Hogan
In the United States, the top 1% earn almost as much as the other 99% together.
Is that "fair?"
I've been reading propaganda out of Berkley saying that it's not. ....That if the government put a much bigger tax on land, etc., that the "poor" would have a more equitable share of income.
STOP.
Wrong.
What is Fair?
Income is something you earn..."wealth redistribution" ONLY causes disasters...there have never been exceptions. Could we name a few countries? Yes. Earn money.
(You can't steal from someone without consequences to the thief and the victim.)
Social Security, Medicare, Medicade and other income redistribution plans are just that.
The government can play Robin Hood, but on a macro or micro level you can't change behavior of those that refuse to work more than 8 hours each day, or want balance, or want anything more than they do than work.
So today, and for the next several weeks, please, play a game with me. We'll call it The Money Game. With a $700 Billion Bail-Out, we all need to think abut this, don't we.
I need your help for this scenario:
Imagine 10 competent, able people competing in a REALLY BIG reality TV show home. Men, women, parents, single folk. You and me are two of them. We all walk in the door having been obligated to quit our previous job.
Part One: The Career Choice Stage
There are 30 different jobs to choose from.
10 of them are sales jobs.
Others include jobs as medical doctor, government worker, and so forth. We all get to leave the house to go to work but must return after we are done working. Some of us have babies and children in the house. Some of us have spouses. Some don't...all the families live in this BIG house....
You and I are smart enough to know that there are only a couple of kind of jobs that are "secure" and have a chance to pay enough to cover the bills, taxes, and build some kind of a squirrel's nest for when disaster strikes the family. (Financial planners who have never personally been through hell call this the "six month rainy day fund." These morons have never experienced what disaster is. They have no idea those "six month rainy day funds" dry up REALLY fast and do no good for the next three years after the Dad dies. Maybe they'll start prepping people to save for 3-5 year rainy day funds after reading this...
I don't know about you but I grew up with the "knowledge" that the orphanage was a viable option if Dad (step-dad) didn't live a few more years. I've seen people who were in tougher conditions but not many with less money.
So, for you and me....Let's see there is...Sales...and sales. Sales careers are some of the best out there for regular people to reallye earn money and to create the financial reserves they need.
Everyone else?
Of course, chose jobs that don't produce a profit for the companies that will be paying their salaries.
That puts them at grave risk.
You and I are in sales, we have essentially little or no risk, although we do wake up "unemployed" every day, and we have a 10-12 hour day.
Nevertheless, our incomes are totally dependent on our work. So, if we produce 18x and we get paid proportionately.
So off we go into our world.
At the end of one year, you and I have earned $100,000.
So did the person who was qualified to be a doctor.
The other seven?
They chose jobs that weren't income producers.
So how did they do? They all earned about $40,000 per year. They had "balance." They got to spend more time with their families than we did. Nothin' wrong with that.
There is no doubt: Family matters more than anything.
Over the next five years, we salespeople got better at our jobs. We built our business portfolios. Now? We have doubled our sales, and indeed even triples our sales. We are now earning $300,000 per year. Still lots of hours by most people's standards. Frankly, maybe up to 70 per week. Relationships at home? They are a bit tense compared to our "balanced" friends but we're hanging in there.
Everyone else, except the doc who is now making $150,000 annually is still making about the same $40,000 per year. They have "balance." They get to spend a lot of time with their families. They wanted a "life" and are living that desired outcome with the corresponding $40,000.00 income. They are connected. Cause and effect. OK? Get it?
Five years later, you and I were consistent at our jobs. Our portfolios of business had grown to about $1,000,000 in commissions each. The doc is making about $200,000 annually and the seven people who chose the "balanced life jobs? Their income has risen to a whopping... $50,000 annually.
They think they are making more than they used to make... But they are wrong. In actuality, they are making less after inflation. But they don't get that. They will be blissfully ignorant....for awhile.
Now that's 8 people in the "room" that have a combined income of $600,000 annually.
2 people in the room have a total income of $2,000,000 annually.
You and I are earning about a million annually. The two of us earn about 82% of the money even though we only make up 20% of the population.
Obviously our dream is now opening up. It's now OUR turn to love and live... We now choose to live the life we have always desired...
But even in this world, we don't live in a vaccuum...
Now one of the ten in the room decides that this is "not fair."
Guess what happens now?????
YES! A politician emerges...
There had to be a connection to the 2008 Presidential election with Barack Obama and Joe Biden and John McCain and Sarah Palin, now didn't there? Yes, there is.
