Re: Moving on up...

Got an interesting generic reply to my last post. I read it this morning. The basic idea was 'You might not succeed, and when you don't, I'll still be around'.
HHHHMMMM, now then, that's kinda the thinking that I'd mentioned the need to separate from. Why? Well, with a multi-millionaire who has not had to go to a job in over 15 years, and another associate who makes $5,000 - $8,000 a month and has done so for about 6 or 7 years... are they going to leave me to hang in the wind? No.
With the association that I'm in, people rooting and cheering me on, a less than 20% divorce rate in couples in my business (can you imagine the team work? less than 20% failure?!)...
Frankly folks, it's over crowded at the bottom (not to mention uninspiring!), but there is HUGE WIDE OPEN SPACE at the top, or so I'm told. Well, rather than wish that I regress, why not come with me? Now that's a personal choice, but it's not MY personal choice. Once I reach the top of the mountain, I ain't coming back down! I'd prefer to go on this journey together, but that's not a choice I can make for another person.
The flip side to the statement I read, is that the sender lacks faith in my ability to perform as a business leader... hmmm, I would guess, let's compare life experience and success.
I admire the business associates that I have, because I am NEVER embarrassed to introduce people to them, or rather, I want every one to know them, because of their success, their hearts, their life out look, their attitude, what they've accomplished in life, where they can and will take people (my self included). I would trust Tom Ellis, Randy Sears, Tom Monroe, Ben Knight, Jarret Merril, Ed Paige, and others with my life and well being. If I needed help with anything, they are there. They won't just hand things to me, feed my greed, or enable me to get 'things' from them, but if I got a serious illness and were in the hospital, they'd be there... probably would raise funds to help cover me (but that's why I'm doing business, so I can have my own emergency funding and to help others later that wear the shoes that I wear today). No 'probablies', or 'maybe's', unquestionably they would be there!
Anyway, long story short, I'd rather you all joined me, but that's your choice. I'm going up and not coming down. I'll give a quick example. There's an associate in Eugene, Oregon who's been in for about 45 days. He has over 90 people that he's sponsored as business associates. A young lady (Jessica) and her husband have been in for about 2 weeks and have 6 - 8 people sponsored, and another 5 or 6 ready to come on board this week. These are the people I want to emulate and associate with... people who are setting the world on fire, getting this thing done... TODAY! Not dragging anything out, no excuses, no whatever... just getting it done!
They say if you light a fire, people will come watch you burn. Well, it's my time to burn and by the time I burn out, I'll own an island in the Caribbean, property in Japan, and an awesome get away in both Madagascar and Sri Lanka! I and my associates will regularly do breakfast in L.A., Lunch in Vegas, and dinner in Seattle (and we're not talking Taco Bell!). Or Breakfast in Buffalo, N.Y., lunch at Niagara Falls, and dinner in Toronto! As one successful associate I heard reacently said, I'll go on about 150 - 160 all expense paid trips (vaccations) a year!
Also,I'll have a room at my house dedicated to my comic book collection and a study and a library! Aside from the in home theater, 4 lane bowling alley, the racquetball courts, my recording studio and my fully equipped martial arts studio!
Y'all can come visit me, but I'd rather come check out your dream.
Anyway, I've gotta go to work... my real job, not my make somebody else money job! So, I hope that I've clarified why I won't be coming back down from where I'm going. Does any of this make sense? I personally know people who live this way, and their deepest desire is to see me live this way too.
