Pyxism: Think Global…Act Local

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:19:19 -0800

All those for whom paying debt has become a headache can now become debt free with an affordable home based business that offers financial freedom and for Utah entrepreneur, Kyle Clouse; this is the business model that is driving success and building the largest organization within Pyxism. "The internet is full of moneymaking opportunities in the form of home businesses that everyone can take advantage of. People can start a home business on a part time basis and operate it full time when the business reaches a certain sustainable level. The distributer would then have an option to quit their conventional job or business and would enjoy the financial freedoms that starting a business can provide." said Clouse during an interview in his Utah home office.

Pyxism is a home based business that is affordable and does not require a lot of initial investment. "We live in a changing economy that leaves people feeling hopeless at times. Pyxism is an opportunity that has been built on the principle of integrity and truly allows the business owner a real chance for success. This is exactly what people are looking for when they are searching for an online business opportunity."

Some key aspects that attracted Clouse to the opportunity are.

It is a true follow me matrix. This means that there is not splitting of boards and that your team stays with you.
The company is debt free.
It has low entry level start up cost of $325 but also carries with it a lucrative compensation plan with payouts of $8,000 plus bonuses.
Pyxism is owned 100% by one individual, Lloyd Wilson. Lloyd Wilson also hosts the company's business presentation webinars and is available to answer questions. He comes with 12 years of experience in both the travel and network marketing industry. Lloyd's experience and track record leaves little doubt that he will provide quality products and business systems.
Pyxism is a based in the US and is 100% compliant with all FTC and Attorney General Guidelines for network marketing.

Clouse is also excited about a new Network Marketing system that he is developing that will allow beginner and advanced Network Marketers to come in and have all the tools and training necessary to be successful. "I have been very blessed in this industry and I fell that it is my responsibility to give back. Our system comes equipped with adjustable capture pages, auto responders, contact manager, Co-Op Marketing, website analytics, blog, weekly marketing training and much more. The PyxismPRO.com site will be ready to launch in early January 2010 and is built specifically for the Pyxism business owner."

Currently Pyxism is in the pre-launch stage and is scheduled for a full launch in early January. Network Marketers who get started now have a huge financial advantage in what could very well be the hottest launch in several years. Pyxism has also received 5 star ratings from professional third party reviews that base their opinions on Overall, Product, Marketing System, Startup Costs and Compensation Plan. They are all in agreement that this business opportunity is poised to radically change the Network Marketing arena and quickly become a global conglomerate.

Louis Lautman and The YES Movie

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 20:12:31 -0700

Enjoying his fast paced, opulent, enlightened life, successful young entrepreneur, Louis Lautman's curiosity and fascination of business achievement at a young age ultimately launched him on a cross country journey to seek out and interview the world's most successful young millionaire minds and entrepreneurs to discover and expose "The Secret" behind their success.

Lautman, age 30, knew from his own experience in business that many young entrepreneurs still struggled and was committed to sharing the strategies these young geniuses lived by to create a thriving life of prosperity, wealth and abundance at a young age.

Like every hero, Louis was thrown into crisis as he was presented with the astounding fact that the fundamental premises that ran his life were untrue. The "reality" of how young people are supposed to grow up; the "belief" that after high school you go to college; and the "fact" that if you work hard and long at your job you will get ahead- are all shown to be habitual mental constructs that limit life and induce a slow-moving, apathetic, tedious, commonly lack filled reality. He saw the trap and wanted to show the world a new way through demonstrating nine key secrets.

His panel of experts serves as a modern day Greek Chorus, whose anecdotes and experiences of starting and running their extraordinarily successful businesses at a very young age are woven through the plot as important lessons young entrepreneurs need to learn in order to understand and change their life. The YES Movie experts answer the great questions of life constructed by both young and older business people. Through the course of the film, the distinction between business and personal life becomes increasingly synergistic as we realize that, in essence, both business and personal life must support each other.

A master at business networking, Louis Lautman having assembled more than 30 Young Millionaire Entrepreneur's to sit down with him and share the amazing stories of their success is unprecedented. They each detailed how they took their idea from concept to reality and how they overcame all of the challenges along the way. Each of these experts serves as a sounding board for young entrepreneurs across the globe. Their products and services have touched the lives of millions and now their inspiring stories will as well in this dynamic film.

The United States Economic Recession: Robert Kiyosaki Responds on October 9, 2008

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:12:07 -0700

In this 10 minute section of an interview conducted by Mike Dillard with Robert Kiyosaki on October 9, 2008, Robert explains that the United States economic recession is only going to get worse and what you can do to prepare. If you are concerned about your financial future I highly recommend sitting in a quiet area and listening intently to this interview with Robert Kiyosaki.

One thing that Robert mentions is that job security is a myth and that people need to start looking for other streams of income. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki both recommend getting started in network marketing. Robert explains that it will only get better for those who take action now and get started.

You Can Succeed in Network Marketing

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:06:00 -0700

Network Marketing is NOT Rocket Science.

Succeeding in network marketing is a lot easier than most people think. It basically comes down to mind set. When you run your business it should be 90% mindset and 10% logistics. Unfortunately most people have this reversed and place most of their focus on the logistics, i.e. generating leads, calling back leads, making sure that their website looks just right, etc. Inevitably they end up frustrated, broke and then quit. It's important to the success of you network marketing business to get this right. Let's look at how this is done.

Start with a decision or goal. This is the most important part of your success. Saul said, "Where there is not vision, the people perish." This is also true for your business. If you don't have a vision your business will perish. Without a clear destination everything that comes after it will be ineffective. You have to make a decision that you are going to be wealthy and you have to be clear on that decision. What is it that you want? When do you want it by? Why do you want it? What will you do with it once you have it? Most people that you speak with will have no idea where they see themselves financial in the next 6-12 months and so it should not be a surprise that they have no idea how to get there because they lack a destination. Go ahead and try it. Talk to 10 people and ask them where they see themselves financially in 6 months. This is the exact reason why 97% of all people stay in the same cycle of mediocrity.

Be in Integrity With You

Once your goal is defined write it out and commit yourself to achieve it at all costs. My darkest days as an entrepreneur are still better than my best day as an employee. Get a goal contract and contractually bind yourself to that goal. The second that you become clear on your decision your sponsoring will take on a whole new life. People don't get started with you because of where you have been but more importantly where you are going. Once you define your goal you will also be identifying who your associates will be. You don't want to sponsor people who are not clear on their goals and who need constant motivation to keep going. Your time should be one of your most precious assets and associates who need constant attention and motivation will capitalize your time and drain your energy. If you have sponsored people like this in the past than you know exactly what this means.

Get Into Emotion

Once you recognize your goal and have it specified and written out you have to attach the emotion to your goal as if you have already achieved it. This is the famous adage, "Be Do Have". If you want to be a great leader than you need to act like a great leader. If you want to be a millionaire than you need to act like a millionaire. Remember that people don't get started because of where you have been but where you are going. When your emotion is attached your prospects will feel the emotion and naturally follow.

I See You as You can BE

If you want to get clear on your goals than visit me at http://www.KyleClouse.com for a personal conversation with me. It is my goal to cultivate leaders. I see you not as who you were but who you can become.

Network Marketing - The No Failure Approach

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 21:08:57 -0700

QUESTION:
How Does a MLM Failure Like Me Go a From Broke Struggling and Confused Network Marketer to Earning over $25,000 in Commissions in JUST 6 WEEKS!??!

ANSWER:
A Kick Butt Marketing & Sales SYSTEM that overcomes the major obstacles we all face - Thats's How!!

Friends... this could be the most important thing you read since you first began your journey of running a successful home based business.

You need the facts!

You need to learn:

==> how to market your business effectively
==> how to generate your own endless supply of leads
==> how to have people chasing you about your business
==> how to make sales without EVER SELLING!
==> how to make money from people that DON'T even join your business!?!

IMAGINE......

No more wasting money on worthless leads.
No more cold calling.
No more chasing friends and family.
No hotel meetings
No presentations.
No prospecting calls.
No explaining.
No convincing
No more SELLING ever again!

Quoting Michael Gerber from 'The E-Myth Revisited':

"It is literally impossible to produce a consistent result in a business that depends on extraordinary people. No business can do it for long. And no extraordinary business tries to! Every extraordinary business knows that when you intentionally build your business around the skills of ordinary people, you will be forced to ask the difficult questions about how to produce a result without the extraordinary ones.
===> You'll be FORECED TO FIND a SYSTEM that leverages your ordinary people to the point where they can produce extraordinary results over and over again."

This SYSTEM is what WE USE!!

I have personally used this system to make over $50,000 in just 90 days... and have already helped others to make at least $10,000 monthly income.

Feel free to ask me how!

Network Marketing Sectrets for Home Based Business Success Revealed by Entrepreneur Kyle Clouse

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 20:49:10 -0700

Entrepreneurs looking for effective advertising and marketing strategies for home based business success have a new resource for developing a financially stable business, thanks to the new system available from www.BlackBeltMarketing101.com.

"Here is what the top earners won't tell you when it comes to home based business success - it's all about attraction marketing," says Kyle Clouse, an Arizona network marketing entrepreneur and owner of www.BlackBeltMarketing101.com. "It's actually a lot easier than most people think. This is the network marketing secret and the one that so many network marketers fail to see."

In previous ventures, Clouse became frustrated with not succeeding, despite following the instructions of his up line.

"After much determination, I came into contact with some incredibly talented and successful network marketers. They basically took me under their wings and showed me what other top producers in network marketing are not sharing. It literally took my business from making a few grand per month to five figures per month," Clouse says. "The system and formula is so simple, and it works for any business. I am now sharing this same system with other network marketers, who are using these marketing strategies to share in the same results."

"As an attraction marketer we simply understand what it is people really want ... which is NOT the latest and greatest juice product or your 'seven-year financially stable company,' Clouse says. "You could have the perfect equation for all of that and fail miserably."

So what do people really want? What is it that prospects are really looking for?

"People want to understand how to market their business so they can actually make some money," Clouse says. "People want to find a real leader who can show them exactly how to overcome their challenges and get results. Those are the two reasons people are going to join you. They either see you as a leader who can help them move closer to their goals, or you have the marketing system, skills or knowledge that will help them make money."

When asked what the advantages of having these two things are Clouse said, "When you know how to do both of these things, people will literally be drawn to you like you're a marketing magnet. When you have the knowledge that we teach here and on my team, you have serious advantages over 99.9 percent of the other network marketers and home based business owners out there. Bottom line, we teach you how to become the hunted and not the hunter."

Clouse says that great training and technologically advanced features that drive interested prospects is how one effectively builds a home based business. "I worked in the traditional world and other home based direct sales programs that were too reliant on the effective interface of other reps to increase your sales," Clouse says.

The business model Clouse is rolling out worldwide is based around one simple statement that is creating massive growth: Smart marketers never chase customers ... instead, they get customers to chase them.

What the Top Income Producers Are Not Telling...

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 23:30:55 -0700

"It's all about ATTRACTION MARKETING" Kyle Clouse said an Arizona Network Marketing Entrepreneur and owner of http://BlackBeltMarketing101.com. "And it's actually a lot easier than what most people think".

Kyle Clouse said that he "tired" of not succeeding despite following the instructions of his up line.

"After much determination I came into contact with some very talented and successful network marketers. They basically took me under their wings and showed me what other top producers in network marketing are not sharing. It literally took my business from making a couple of grand per month to 5 figures per month. The system and formula is so simple and it works for any business. I am now sharing this same system with other network marketers who are also having the same results."

Clouse outlined that "as an ATTRACTION MARKETER we simply understand what it is people REALLY WANT...which is NOT the latest and greatest juice product, or your '7 year financially stable company'. You could have the perfect equation for all of that and fail miserably."

So what do people really want? What is it that your prospects are REALLY looking for? "People want to understand how to MARKET their business so they can actually make some money" Said Clouse. "People want to find a real LEADER who can actually show them exactly how to overcome their challenges and get results. Those are the 2 reasons people are going to join you. They either see you as a leader who can help move them closer to their goals. Or you have a marketing system, skills, or knowledge...that will help them make money."

I asked Clouse what the advantages of having these two things are. "When you know how to do BOTH of those things...people will literally be sucked to you like you're a marketing magnet. When you have the knowledge that we teach here and on my team...you have serious advantages over 99.9% of the other network marketers out there. Bottom line, we teach you how to become the hunted and not the hunter."

Kyle Clouse: Intro of his Business Model Virtually Eliminates Failure for Real Estate Entrepreneurs

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:38:20 -0700

Neil Armstrong uttered the famous phrase of "One small step for man ... One giant step for mankind" in 1969 and in the summer of 2008 Kyle Clouse is following in Armstrong's footsteps, with the rollout of his marketing program that is destined to change marketing campaigns in the real estate industry. "The world watched in amazement when Armstrong stepped foot on the moon ... entrepreneurs are watching in amazement with the rollout of this marketing program that has totally eliminated the challenges of traditional marketing that has killed so many dreams of entrepreneurs," said Arizona native Clouse.

Kyle Clouse is a veteran real estate entrepreneur whose move from a high paying Executive position with one of the Top Arizona Property Management Companies to creating a fulltime income mentoring agents was a total career wakeup. "My partner and best friend is my gorgeous wife Jessica," said Clouse, "and she will confirm to one and all that I definitely have a TYPE A personality. Problem is ... a lot of folks moving into the real estate sector lack that makeup and the lack of interface needed on a daily basis, which is why 98.6% fail within their first 6-12 months of activity. Problems create solutions and I have a marketing model that will cure the illness of all that have any leanings toward a "Personality B" type personality. My wife laughed as she said this system is "ANTI KYLE" as one is not judged on their personality.... they are judged by their ability to take and plug in the system we have created that works for all types of personalities."

The business model Clouse rolled out worldwide is based around one simple statement that is creating massive growth: "SMART MARKETERS NEVER CHASE CUSTOMERS .... INSTEAD ... THEY GET CUSTOMERS TO CHASE THEM!" and my goal of offering a marketing concept that would attract the masses has been reached," said Clouse, "as this multifunctional program (www.hotleadtool.biz) implements Automated Recruiting Software Technology which will allow any real estate entrepreneur to generate a substantial amount of clients with either a startup or established real estate business.   Within minutes potential customers will be contacting your office via this incredible package that I have just started marketing on a nationwide basis that is destined to change the marketing standards in this industry forever."

"Great training and technology advanced features, that drives interested prospects, is how one effectively builds a real estate business in 2008," said Clouse. "Instead of spending all my time in teaching agents how to be great prospectors I now get to watch my 2 great kids grow up and I am so thankful I can introduce this Voice Broadcasting to the real estate market that brings a new body into play every 11 seconds.   Eliminate the human element and you eliminate a lot of mistakes ... and that simply describes what I think is the greatest technological introduction to the real estate industry since day one."

Web 2.0 Ten Step Training Program

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Mon, 05 May 2008 22:19:07 -0700

Oprah Winfrey - a multi-billionaire and one of the most generous people in the world-featured The Secrettwice on her show. She wanted to become an entrepreneur. Oprah said she'd been using The Secret'sprinciples all her life without knowing it, sometimes seeing her dreams come true almost effortlessly. Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and teacher, life coach and motivational speaker, says he arrived at his enviable position in life because he knew and used the principles of The Secret.

John Demartini, a former surfer/panhandler who dropped out of school at age 14 because of disabling dyslexia, later learned the philosophy behind The Secretand graduated magna cum laude with a doctoral degree. Others who devoted show time to The Secret include Larry King, Ellen DeGeneres, TheToday Show, and Nightline.

All over the world, standing-room-only seminars are teaching the principles of The Secret and showing people how to change their lives.

The Secretis literally a life-altering phenomenon that is changing the lives of people who live not just in the United States, but all over the world. The book and DVD have made the top of every best seller list, and have sold over a million copies. In an interview with USA Today, author Rhonda Byrne explained that she discovered the ancient secret to getting everything you want through her study of religious and philosophical texts. As the tagline for the DVD says, The Secret"has traveled through centuries to reach you." Byrne gleaned ideas from great thinkers and creators, scientists and philosophers, artists and writers. It is very likely that many famous people from the past knew this universal law-for example Beethoven, Albert Einstein, Sir Isaac Newton, Leonardo DaVinci, and Abraham Lincoln.

You do not have to belong to any particular religious group to learn, use and benefit from The Secret. It's for everyone, regardless of their spiritual beliefs, IQ, education, current circumstances or station in life. In fact, the author discovered and mastered The Secret when she herself was going through a very difficult time. It helped her turn her life around, and she is eager to share what she learned with as many people as possible. Will you be one of them?

Many people who are convinced The Secret works have watched the DVD and read the book again and again. Why? Because they say that each time they discover another secret, something new. Many who were skeptical decided it couldn't hurt to try anyway, and were simply amazed at the growth in their businesses and in the improvement in their relationships and health.

What can The Secret mean for you?
That simply depends on what you want. Let's start with getting on the path to rapid prosperity, with multiple income streams that take you from a just-getting-by frame of mind to thinking like a millionaire. It can all be yours when you learn how to attract wealth and success and surround yourself with others who have learned to use the powerful principles of The Secret to find unlimited wealth, vibrant health, fulfilling relationships, and abundant success in every area of your life.
With the combination of action and intention, you can accomplish anything you want to, no matter who or where you are or what you believe to be true about how the universe works at the present time. When you adjust how you think, your life will correct itself.

Will you make the choice to use your own free will and determination to change your life, realizing dreams you never thought possible before?

Are you concerned that you cannot let go of old ways of thinking? That old habits will pull you back into the same old rut? The Secret's teachers and others who have used it to win financial, emotional, and physical freedom have tips, tools, and strategies that will help you learn how to use the philosophy of The Secret to change your thinking-and change your life! Whatever your financial, emotional, and physical realities are now, you can improve them immensely using the principles of The Secret.

Are you willing to truly explore personal and business possibilities and goals that you previously thought were unattainable-not only abundant wealth, but true happiness, inner peace, and joy.

One of the principles of The Secret is that you must be open to opportunity. Perhaps that is why you have read this far.

This is your opportunity. You, like millions of others, can quickly learn to apply the principles of The Secret to build financial success and security by starting your own home-based business. Through personal empowerment, you can accomplish anything you want to. You will learn all about how The Secret can help you build unlimited wealth. Before long, you'll find that you'll replace negativity and resentment about your life with gratitude that you have found a different path, a different way of thinking and behaving. You'll look back and wonder who that "other" person was!

Life Is A Series of Choices: How to Become Wealthy by Making Them

Learn to accumulate wealth through personal development

About a year ago, I was on vacation sitting next to a father and his son. We were on a bus tour looking at homes of the "rich & famous." I couldn't help but overhear the conversation taking place in the seat next to mine. It went something like this: "Would you look at those houses, son... This is as close as we'll ever get. Can you even imagine?"

While listening, I was struck by the distinct difference in our thinking. The father spoke to his son as if their life would never give them that opportunity. Their fate was sealed, and all they could do was look.

On the other hand, I believed that if I wanted it and was willing to work hard for it, I could achieve it some day.

If you find yourself as the person gazing through the window at what you'll never have, you need to change your mentality. You need to begin to focus on what you can have, and what you will achieve.

Attaining success both financially and emotionally is possible with a home-based business. It is up to you to go after it.

OPERATING A HOME-BASED BUSINESS REQUIRES ATTITUDE.

I think Hal Urban says it best when he discusses life, money, success and the ability to choose in his book, "Life's Greatest Lessons: 20 Things that Matter." Mr. Urban writes:

"Life is a series of choices...

Look around you. What is happening in the lives of a large percentage of this country? Nothing much. And, whether they realize it or not, it's the result of choices: the choice to take what comes, the choice to let things happen, the choice to settle for less, the choice to let others do their thinking, the choice to merely exist from one day to the next."

Reading this statement was a defining moment for me. Life is a series of choices. You can either sit back and take what life deals you, or you can fight back, take charge, and determine your own path.

If you want and believe in something, you must take the next step and go after it.

To put this in perspective, I distinctly remember sitting with a friend who was discussing her financial woes. This person was stuck in a rut, both mentally and financially. I began to discuss the possibility of a home-based business as a possible outlet.

How did my friend respond? By saying, "I hate to stay at home. I could never do that... I would be bored to tears." And, in the very next breath, she was complaining again about not having enough money or job satisfaction.

So, there you go. A choice was made. She chooses to let her current situation continue to drain her instead of choosing to make a change to improve her future.

Life should not be dictated to you. It is a series of choices. It is there for you to make the most of.

What do you choose?

Right here at this website, I am offering you information about a business that you can operate from the comfort of your own home that is truly changing lives, including my own.

I have taken the initiative and have taken steps towards changing my future. I have gained tremendous personal development throughout the process. Remember: it is much easier to move forward in your journey towards personal development and find renewed confidence when you don't have the burden of debt, bills, and financial pressures weighing you down.

Here are things to take into consideration when beginning your journey towards getting all that you want out of life:

Open your mind and be willing to reach towards new goals and dreams
Don't let fear be a part of the equation. Fear is debilitating, and can hinder you in everything you do in life. Disable that fear! Quiet it with renewed spirit and confidence by moving forward with your financial and emotional goals.
Openly accept change and welcome self-discovery
Be aware of your surroundings; appreciate the opportunities that life presents you.

Human potential is an amazing vehicle. With this business opportunity, you will be working closely with a group of individuals who truly care whether you make it - both financially as well as personally. It is not just about making the "quick buck" (although financial freedom is certainly a main ingredient!) It is also about finding inner peace and emotional stability.

I encourage you to take that first step towards finding peace of mind, contentment, and a renewed confidence. Don't discount the role that financial freedom has to do with these important values. Free yourself from the burden of debt or financial worry. Afford the luxury to choose your direction and set your path.

Fill out the form below, and I will provide you with additional information about the opportunity that is truly shaping my life and allowing me the freedom to live out my dreams. I am living the life that I choose, not the life that is chosen for me by the circumstances surrounding me. I look forward to hearing from you!

Overcoming Debt: How to Become Wealthy

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 11:48:08 -0700

Personal Debt is Skyrocketing

With the exception of a small rise in middle-class wages in the late 1990s, real wages have simply not kept pace with inflation. In fact, the median income of average households has fallen steadily for five years in a row. Despite these facts, consumption continues to increase. How can this be? The answer, unfortunately, is that people are incurring an increasing amount of personal debt. We're talking here about the 95% of us who are not wealthy, who are not saving enough for retirement, and who are bombarded constantly to buy, buy, buy.

It's true that the nation's economy is growing-how many times have you heard politicians point that out, while you wonder why you're still so far in debt? What they fail to mention is that the economic expansion is largely the result of people overextending themselves, using credit to buy such necessities as food and clothing, and even taking cash advances on credit cards to pay mortgage payments. A Federal Reserve study showed that 43% of US families spend more than they earn. The only way to do that is to use credit. And it's pretty obvious that if you use credit to spend more than you earn, you are going to be in debt.

The credit card industry collected 43 billion dollars in late-payment, over-limit, and balance-transfer fees in 2004. The major advertising ploy used by all the credit card companies sounds like a scene out of Brave New World-"You like it. You deserve it. Buy it." It's easy to fall into their supposedly people-friendly trap. But the truth is, they exist for one reason only, and that is to make money from you.

"Uh-oh, the mail is here."

With the typical American family now owing $19,000 on non-mortgage debts, it's no wonder that mail deliveries have become something to dread. Which bill is due or overdue? How much are the finance charges on credit card A, B, C, D...and on and on. (The average family has 13 credit, debit and store cards.) Sandwiched between the bills are offers from other credit card companies-or even the same ones you've already got. "Transfer your balances! No interest for six months!" Many people go this route as a way out. It can buy you some time, but it doesn't work forever. The proverbial piper must eventually be paid-and when that time comes, it will be worse than ever.

"But I always make the minimum payment!"

Making just the minimum payments on your credit cards will keep your credit picture in focus as far as the credit reporting agencies are concerned. "Pays required amount. Pays on time." Sounds good, doesn't it?

Actually, you'd be playing right into the hands of your creditors. The less you pay on your balance, the more interest they make. Let's say you have a balance of $6000 on a credit card and you STOP using it today. If your interest rate is 17.5%, a pretty average percentage, and you pay the minimum payment of $90 every month, it will take you almost 20 years to pay off the balance. You will have paid $21,240 on that $6000 balance. They made $15,240 in interest-and maybe additional amounts in annual fees.

Think about what you could do with $15,240! Wouldn't you rather be tucking that money into an IRA or a college fund?

Medical Expenses Are Enough to Make You Sick
A 2006 study conducted by the Center for American Progress showed that most older Americans who find themselves in debt do so because of the high cost of healthcare and prescription medications. In fact, anyone of any age with a serious illness or debilitating injuries suffered by any family member can soon find themselves in deep financial trouble. Even if you have health insurance, there are deductibles, co-pays, supplies and drugs that aren't covered. With today's astronomical healthcare costs, a policy's maximum lifetime payout can be reached with alarming speed. When they stop paying, and care is still needed, where do you turn? A medical emergency can be devastating to any but the wealthy.

When Keeping Up With the Joneses Is a Bad Idea
In recent years, low mortgage rates and steadily rising real estate costs made home ownership seem like an excellent investment. While that is still true, some people find themselves in trouble now if they financed their home with an A.R.M. (adjustable rate mortgage) or an interest-only loan. When the federal reserve began raising interest rates, ARMs started resetting, increasing mortgage payments by as much as 25%. If you took an interest-only loan to buy a dream house just before the housing bubble burst, prepare yourself for disaster. With prices declining, there's a high possibility that if you can't make your payments, you will have to sell the home for less than you owe-maybe a lot less.

"Wait! There must be a way out."

You could take an equity loans on your house-assuming you have enough equity to make it worthwhile, and that you can handle the equity loan payoff. Although you could try a credit counseling agency, and IRS inquiry in May, 2006, revealed that the 41 so-called credit counselors they examined were of virtually no benefit to consumers. Investigations into other agencies are on-going.

"I can always go bankrupt."

Recent changes in federal bankruptcy law have made the procedure so expensive that people in dire financial straits cannot even afford the filing fees. While people often think that declaring bankruptcy means you can toss out your bills and just pay cash until your credit rating improves, the new laws demand a payback percentage to creditors. Credit counseling is now mandatory, although the chances are you will find yourself paying a bogus "credit counselor" for nothing more than a checkmark on your bankruptcy record that you've completed the counseling.

"Is There a Reasonable Solution?"

Yes. Think about it. If you need more money to pay your debts, then you simply need to make more money. This doesn't mean you need to go out and search for a new job in a crazy job market. It simply means that you need another income source to add to those you already have.

Ideally, you need to find a way to bring in extra income without undue stress on yourself and your family. You should still have some down time for relaxation. If this sounds impossible, there is good news: It can be done. Thousands of other people have already proven it.

If you're determined to get out of debt, a home-based business is a viable method for generating a genuine second income. It's a far cry from working for peanuts at a night job in a retail store, warehouse, or fast-food joint. You'll save money on commute time and gas, and the only equipment you'll need is a computer and a telephone.

Your first goal will probably be to heave a huge sigh of relief as you realize your balances are declining and you're getting ahead. Like many others, you may discover that you were always cut out for running your own business and increasing your personal wealth more every day. Your second job could become so rewarding that you will decide to make it your only job. Imagine working from the comfort of your home, interacting with people who started out just like you and are now making fortunes.

The way to financial solvency-even wealth- is open now.

If you're ready to pop that steadily swelling debt balloon-ready to shape your future the way you've dreamed it could be-you can begin right now.

A Supportive Environment in Becoming Wealthy

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 13:44:57 -0700

Some people balk at the idea of a home business because they think they'll be left completely on their own to sink or swim. With this business opportunity, that is not the case. Instead, you will be working closely with a group of experienced, professional individuals who truly care about you. They will help you every step of the way to attain financial success in the business. They will be there to applaud your personal and emotional growth as well as your financial growth.

You might wonder why these people you don't even know yet would care about you. There are several reasons. The first is simple and obvious. It's got something to do with empathy-that feeling of "been there, done that, know what you've been going through." Yes, they've been where you are, and they know how great it feels to leave behind the hassles of working for someone else. They recall what it was like to slave away for hours at something they didn't really enjoy, all for someone else's gain and with little in the way of reward or appreciation, unless you want to count a paycheck that was woefully small for the amount of work they put in.

Many have also felt the detached remoteness of corporate employers-the feeling that you're "just a number," and worse, easily replaceable for a smaller salary. They feel the business world has lost something important as more and more small companies sell out to corporate giants who then downsize and outsource and just generally play chess with the futures and livelihoods of their employees. In this business, you can count on the pros who will help you to get started because they are real people like you-people you will speak with on the phone and e-mail frequently. You won't be employee #35768 to them! You will be a friend, an associate, and part of a team that is playing with the same goal in mind-for every team member to come out a winner.

Football, baseball and basketball coaches often remind their players of the philosophy that goes "When one of us succeeds, we all succeed." Makes sense, doesn't it? When the receiver makes it into the end zone or the runner crosses home plate or the shooter sinks a three-pointer, the whole team rejoices, to say nothing of the fans crowding the stands. In this business, your mentors and co-workers will all be part of the team that celebrates along with you as you reach your goals and even exceed them.

Okay, everyone's heard a lot about teamwork. You've probably heard plenty about it at every job you've ever had. It's very big in management right now. The sad truth is that corporate teams are often a sham because the employees who comprise them see the transparency of the whole concept. They know who the real beneficiary of their teamwork is: the company. So why bother? Why give THEM your great ideas? You've already learned that the higher-ups only laugh in your face and then claim your ideas as their own. Great team-mate, eh?

That doesn't mean that teamwork is a bad idea. In this business, it works. The pros who will encourage and support you, teach you the tricks of the trade and help you organize your business believe this above all: The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Why? Because they know that everyone can benefit from listening to everyone else's ideas. Instead of just one person using an idea to get ahead, everyone can use it, and with the spirit of sharing the dream foremost in mind, there is a huge diversity of ideas to use.

We're all born with different strengths and weaknesses, and a team that functions well uses this knowledge to strengthen the group effort. Everyone participates. Everyone has something to offer. Everyone is involved. Working toward a common goal together generates a special kind of positive energy that builds on itself and invigorates everyone.

In a supportive environment like this, you will have the opportunity to achieve results far beyond what you could accomplish on your own. So, if you've been hesitant to begin your own home business because of a fear of being alone in the effort, you can put that fear to rest. Seasoned pros will be there from day one to answer all your questions and help you navigate the road to your dreams.

The Power of Responsibility

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:52:33 -0700

The following is a great quote. What we are today is a direct result of extent that we accept responsibility.

"It's been said that the line between childhood and adulthood is crossed when we move from saying "It got lost" to "I lost it." Indeed, being accountable - and understanding and accepting the role our choices play in the things that happen - are crucial signs of emotional and moral maturity. That's why responsibility is one of the main pillars of good character.

Many people have been seduced by the Peter Pan philosophy of refusing to grow up and avoiding the burdens implied in being accountable. Yes, responsibility sometimes requires us to do things that are unpleasant or even frightening. It asks us to carry our own weight, prepare and set goals, and exercise the discipline to reach our aspirations.

But the benefits of accepting responsibility far outweigh the short-lived advantages of refusing to do so. No one makes his or her life better by avoiding responsibility. In fact, irresponsibility is a form of self-imposed servitude - to circumstances and to other people.

Responsibility is about our ability to respond to circumstances and to choose the attitudes, actions, and reactions that shape our lives. It is a concept of power that puts us in the driver's seat. The grand panorama of the potential of our lives can only be appreciated when we begin to be accountable and self-reliant.

Responsible people not only depend on themselves, but show others that they can be depended on. This breeds trust, and trust is a key that opens many doors.

If you want more control over your life and the pleasures, prerogatives, and power of freedom and independence, all you have to do is be responsible."

-Michael Josephson

Work From Home - Be Your Own Boss

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:21:23 -0700

Here's How to Find Financial and Emotional Fulfillment

Your Mom stays at home? Oh, so she doesn't work?
First, let's make something clear. ALL moms are work-at-home moms. Cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning and laundry might not be highly respected occupations, but unless you've got one of those super-husbands who considers these tasks his responsibility as much as yours, the chances are that you're taking on most of those tasks yourself. This seems to be just as true for moms who have worked all day at an outside job and maybe started and ended the day with a long commute.

The Decision to Stay at Home
All this was difficult enough before you became a parent. Then, pure exhaustion set in. When you realized that you didn't want just quality time with your children, but quantity time as well, you made the tough decision: You became a stay-at-home mom. You decided it was best for your family for you to be the one who raises your children-not a babysitter or the staff at a daycare center. No matter how child-friendly they seemed, you always felt that no one else can care for your children as well as you. Best of all, now you don't have that distressing guilt and worry that bothered you ten hours a day or more.

The first thing you probably noticed is a serious cut in income. But then, you aren't spending as much on gas or lunches out or expensive clothes for work. You're really more comfortable in jeans and tees (and they're much more practical anyway). And you realize the kids don't care one way or another if they're wearing designer clothes. You can economize on food now because you're at home to cook nutritious meals instead of picking up fast food or a pizza on the way home.

And there are so many great payoffs! You're there to cheer Emily on when she takes her first steps and says her first word. You never have to miss a school program or a soccer game. Now you can take Madison to ballet and Jacob to his karate class. You're there to wipe away tears and answer those important questions that come up out of the blue-and you've got the energy to really play with your little ones.

There Seems to be Something Missing
You're aware of a troubling emptiness that used to be filled with the thrill of accomplishment that you took from your old job. You miss working with professionals to meet challenges, find solutions, and celebrate success. You miss the feeling of financial freedom you got from having your own paycheck and your own 401K. And you're getting a little tired of living frugally. It would be nice to be able to add something to the family income, but you really don't want to leave your kids!

There Is a Solution
Every day, millions of people search online for legitimate work-at-home opportunities. Thanks to the information age and the availability of jobs not just in the US but all over the world, home-based entrepreneurs have found that they don't have to choose between family and professional fulfillment. It is estimated that over one-third of families with children 18 or younger have at least one parent working in a home-based business. The Internet offers hundreds of different opportunities to be an at-home entrepreneur.

As long as you have the desire to succeed and the willingness to learn, you can soon be enjoying the freedom of being your own boss, the return of that productive, professional feeling, and the flexibility to enjoy your family.

All genuine work-at-home opportunities provide you with the tools and expert guidance you'll need to get started in your own business.

The possibilities are endless!

Online Co-Workers
Look around, and you'll be pleased to find an interesting online community of people just like you who have found a way to continue using the skills they acquired on the job without ever leaving home. They like to joke that their commute takes 30 seconds-the time it takes to walk from the kitchen to their computer in their pajamas, with that second cup of home-brewed coffee fixed just the way they like it. While they work, they're free to snuggle with babies, keep an eye on a toddler, or get dinner started.

These stay-at-home moms are free of the hassles of a corporate job away from home, yet they have recovered the self-esteem that comes from being intellectually and financially productive entrepreneurs. Who could ask for more?

The Next Step Is Up to You
To determine the path that is right for you, you need information about the different kinds of home-based business openings available. Fortunately, finding out couldn't be easier. There is no obligation or risk involved. Just fill in the form below, and you will be provided with additional information about an exciting opportunity.

Will You Ever Be Able to Retire?

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:13:40 -0700

The federal government and employers are shifting the duty of
retirement funding from themselves to workers. How will this affect your future?

Back in the Day...
Twenty-somethings often refer to their parents' youthful years as "back in the day"-and little do they realize how much things have changed since then-economically, socially, and politically. These changes impact every American, but they are especially relevant to those beginning to think about target retirement dates and whether they have saved enough.

"Back in the day" people worked long enough at one job that they drew adequate pensions in retirement. The luckiest (or most visionary) ones are the "triple dippers" who collect a civil service or military pension, a pension from years of working for a private company, and social security.

While triple-dipping is an enviable way to fund retirement, at least one dip of the trio is quickly disappearing and is not the way to become wealthy or rich: the company pension. Only about 40% of the baby boom generation, just now beginning to retire, will have any sort of pension, and the life-long health insurance benefits that were once part of nearly every retirement package are for the most part a thing of the past.

When the government introduced IRA accounts in 1975, they seemed like a great way for people to amass tax-deferred savings, but they are strictly the responsibility of the individual. You have to have the money, and you have to hope you've found a good place to invest it.

Six years later, 401K plans came along. With participating employers contributing some matching funds, employees who participate defer taxes on part of their income and get a literal pay raise from the funds match. Once again, it sounds like a great idea: So why are economists worried that America is facing a retirement crisis?

To begin with, only a little over half of employees who are offered a 401K plan actually participate. Some cash out their plans when they leave, often because they need the money for living expenses while they look for another job, or they want to pay ahead on debts they know they can't handle if they aren't working.

While some of the non-participants have IRA accounts or other individual savings plans, an alarming 31% of workers 40 or older admit that they have not saved anything at all for retirement, according to a recent AARP Bulletin poll. The same poll revealed that 28% of those who had already retired had saved nothing! Like almost 60 percent of current retirees, Social Security is their major source of income.

"But I still have my pension...right?"

Wrong. Many companies have converted pension funds into 401Ks, expecting employees who know little about the stock market to figure out how to invest for their futures. Some companies simply fund 401Ks with 100% company stock. Where does that leave the employee if the company goes bankrupt-as Enron did, leaving thousands of employees out of work and with shares of company stock once valued at $80 worth less than a dollar?

Where Do You Stand?

If you participate in an IRA or 401K, by all means keep doing so. Don't take out any "loans" on them. And remember that according to the fed's own web site, you should expect Social Security to replace only about 40% of the income you will need in retirement. The average couple on social security receives about $20,000 annually from the government. According to Bloomberg's retirement calculator, this couple needs an investment portfolio of an estimated $500,000 to make up the other 60% they need ($30,000) to bring them up to a retirement income of $50,000 a year.

Maybe this doesn't worry you. Perhaps you are right on target. Congratulations! You're in the fortunate minority.

But-- more than half of all workers who are over 55 have saved less than $50,000. That amount is almost insignificant. It will generate only about $3000 a year-and that's assuming a 6% return and no unexpected nose-dives in the economy.

How did people get into this fix? There are plenty of reasons. For one thing, real wages have remained stagnant since the mid-1970s, meaning that despite very hard work, many have needed every penny just to get by. Poor spending habits-the desire to have it all and have it now-have led others down the road to debilitating debt. 401Ks and IRAs are accessible (although you pay taxes and a penalty). People borrow to pay for college and medical expenses, and somehow the money never gets paid back to the retirement fund.

Is retirement security a luxury you can't afford?

With an uncertain economy, skyrocketing healthcare and energy costs, and little help from employers, retirement may seem like an impossibility to you.

It doesn't have to be that way.

We are living longer and longer. Must we spend our retirement years filled with anxiety about outliving our money? Will we just have to keep working forever?

It doesn't have to be that way.

Even if you are approaching retirement age with little in the way of savings, there is still time to make up for the shortfall, relax, and enjoy the rest of your life.

It's all in your hands. But you must be willing to take control of your finances and turn your life around.

As we said at the beginning of this article, the responsibility for retirement income is yours now. The government will help you out a little bit, but you need to find a way to earn about 60% of what you will need.

There IS a way.

Even if you must stay home to take care of an ailing spouse or aged parent, there IS a way. There is a business you can run from your home, your RV, your vacation cottage, even a lounge chair on a sunny beach. Technological advances in the past few decades have made it all possible, and it's working incredibly well for thousands of people. To establish a viable business that will produce income now and for years to come, all you need is an Internet connection and a telephone. Skilled professionals who took back their lives will be happy to teach you the simple secrets of their success.

Why haven't you heard about this before? If you had, you'd be ahead of the game. But the important thing is that you know about it now, and the sooner you act, the sooner you can begin to free yourself from anxiety about how to finance your retirement. In fact, you can look forward to enjoying the rest of your life as you live out your best years in the security of ever-increasing wealth.

Become Wealthy Through Acting "As If"

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 00:19:41 -0700

Many years ago the great psychologist William James announced his famous "as if" principle. That is, if you want to be successful or wealthy act "as if" you already are. That is the most constructive idea which we should put into practice. If you want to be rich, act rich. If you want to be brave, act brave. If you want to develop a warm, friendly, happy disposition, don't go around with a scowl on your face and hatred in your heart. Our mental and spiritual faculties are like servants. They always serve us with exactly what we request. If we acted as though we expected to be "a nobody", life assumes that we are in earnest and grants our prayer.

How to Become Wealthy through Closing off Retreats

Kyle Clouse (www.KyleClouse.com) — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:14:39 -0700

The following has been taken out of the book Leadership by Sterling W Sill. It can be applied to any part of our lives but I will specifically aim it towards making money and becoming wealthy by closing off all areas of retreat.

"Pompey the Great was ruler of the Roman Empire. His most important field general was Julius Caesar. Caesar had some differences with Pompey, and was considering marching on the capital to take matters into his own hands. In 49 B.C. Caesar came to the Rubicon, a small river in Northern Italy that served as his territorial boundary line. It was the line across which no general was ever allowed to pass without special permission from the Senate. If Caesar crossed the Rubicon it would be with the idea of making the entire Roman Empire subject to his will.

That was a momentous decision. It would immediately precipitate a civil war and divide the world between Pompey and Caesar. Caesar know what the consequences would be if he tried and failed. He knew that many lives would be lost, in any event. Surely he must have hesitated before arriving at so great a decision, for he knew there could be no hesitation after the decision was made. Caesar carefully considered every angle. He explored every possible angle. He explored ever possible alternative. Then he made up his mind. He would march on Rome.

One part of Caesars power came from his ability to analyze a situation; another part came because of his habit to always finish what he started. Caesar said, "The die is cast." That expression marked the point where deliberation ended and action began. There would be no turning back. Then Caesar threw himself into the waters of the Rubicon at the head of his legion and the whole history of the world was changed."

Once we make a solid decision every contrary thought should be banished. No energy should then be wasted in doubts, fears, or reconsideration's, and nothing should then be left undone which would help to bring about the projected accomplishment. Far too many of us are guilty and affiliated with the trait of making partial decisions. One thing is certain, if you make a partial decision to become wealthy and leave doors of retreat open you will never become financially wealthy.

He knew that many lives would be lost, in any event. Surely he must have hesitated before arriving at so great a decision, for he knew there could be no hesitation after the decision was made. Caesar carefully considered every angle. He explored every possible angle. He explored ever possible alternative. Then he made up his mind. He would march on Rome.

One part of Caesars power came from his ability to analyze a situation; another part came because of his habit to always finish what he started. Caesar said, "The die is cast." That expression marked the point where deliberation ended and action began. There would be no turning back. Then Caesar threw himself into the waters of the Rubicon at the head of his legion and the whole history of the world was changed."

Once we make a solid decision every contrary thought should be banished. No energy should then be wasted in doubts, fears, or reconsiderations, and nothing should then be left undone which would help to bring about the projected accomplishment. Far too many of us are guilty and affiliated with the trait of making partial decisions. One thing is certain, if you make a partial decision to become wealthy and leave doors of retreat open you will never become financially wealthy.
