So, why aren't you already rich?

Chances are good that you probably aren't rich yet. Do you want to know why? There is an answer. And I'll share it with you. But, first, let me offer you some related questions:

1. Why do people NOT drink 8 glasses of water a day when they know it's good for them?
2. Why do people eat at McDonald's when they know it's bad food?
3. Why do people smoke cigarettes even though they know it causes disease and death?
4. Why do people NOT set aside some of their money for investing even though they know all wealthy people do?

The answer: small errors in judgment compounded over time. Or, to put it another way, they know that the short-term payoff is going to be small so they're not motivated to do it.

But, try this on:

What if you knew the next cigarette you smoked would kill you instantly?
Answer: the tobacco industry would bankrupt overnight - snap - just like that.

See, no one plans on getting cancer and dying. They just figure that quitting smoking tomorrow will be just as good as doing it today. After all, what difference does a day make? Or another Big Mac? Or another day of not investing money?

You're smart. You see the point.

And it's the same way with choosing to be wealthy. One of the differences between wealthy people and broke people is that wealthy people choose to be wealthy today. We make decisions today based on the results we want to have.

It's an easy thing to do. But, as with most things, if it's easy to do....it's easier not to do.

It's easy to stay stuck.
It's easy to get involved in another business that you already know isn't going to get you where you want to go.
It's easy to follow the crowd.
It's easy to let broke people tell you what you should do.
It's easy to make a decision tomorrow.
It's easy to let someone else think for you.

It takes a little more fortitude to make bold decisions and to take a path that most people aren't willing to take, even though that's where all the rewards are.

When I "got" this....when I realized that the only way I was going to be successful in a home-business was to start thinking for myself instead of following the masses.....that's when I started seeing major results.

Liberty League International is all about making decisions NOW to get the results you want NOW. It's about creating a "life without limits" NOW....not 3-5 years down the road. It's about being the owner of your life NOW....not when you have a few thousand people on your team.

Question: when would NOW be the right time for you to start earning thousands of dollars each week?

What level of this chart are YOU on?

FACT: most of the people you see every day are engaged in "survival-thinking". Only a handful are engaged in "success-thinking".

If you're not familiar with Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (pictured here), take a look at the bottom two levels. These are the areas that -- according to Maslow -- give you ZERO positive emotional payoff if you achieve them. But they DO give you a very NEGATIVE emotional payoff if you DON'T achieve them.

This is where most people operate. They spend all their mental resources thinking about food, shelter, clothing, and paying the bills.

They focus on how they're going to get from this payday to next payday. In many cases they're "robbing Peter to pay Paul"; that is, they're running late on their mortgage so they can pay their insurance.

And make no mistake about it: these aren't just people living below the poverty line. Some of these people are making $50,000 a year.

In fact, if you were to poll 1,000 people who earn only $25,000 a year, I'd guess that most of them would think that their life would be problem-free if they earned $50,000.

But it wouldn't. Why? Because they're so accustomed to "doing without" that they don't even have some of the bills that they SHOULD have. Like health insurance. And life insurance. And putting aside a portion of their earnings into investments.

So, when the $25,000 earner gets to $50,000 they often find that they're STILL not living the lifestyle they wanted. They're just operating at a higher level of survival.

Liberty League International is all about helping people achieve the top THREE levels of Maslow's hierarchy of needs; look at the chart. These are the areas where you not only have the basics of life handled....but you're finally able to focus on things that DO give you a huge emotional payoff.

You can spend time with your family.
You can focus on your art.
You can visit the exotic locations on the planet.
You actually have time to sit down with your child and watch them draw a picture.
You can sample the best quality foods, fabrics, clothing and experiences.
You can hire people to make your life easier (a lawn man, a nanny, a personal chef, a trainer, etc.)

So, let me tell you something you already know: you don't live this way on $25,000 a year. Or even $50,000 a year. And usually not on $100,000 a year.

Don't get me wrong. Everyone has to start somewhere. And any new step on that ladder is a step in the right direction. But, when you join Liberty League International and you find how simple it is to achieve a $25,000 per MONTH income.....you'll begin to find that the life you've wanted has been waiting for you all the time.

Where are YOU spending your time? On the bottom two levels of Maslow's chart?

Are you ready to create the kind of freedom and income that will allow you to tap into the top levels?

It all begins with a choice. Contact me for details and I'll be glad to share with you a very special mastermind group I'm putting together within Liberty League International that will assist you in achieving your goals.

I'll look forward to speaking with you!
