If you’re a parent with bills, and maybe some debt to pay off, then you already know that you don’t need to make a fortune to improve the quality of your life or your children’s lives. (If you still have little ones around home.)

While making six or seven figures a month might be a worthy goal for some people it might not be right for you.
It might feel totally unrealistic to you…
If you would be happy with a couple thousand extra a month.
If that would pay your bills and help you quit your job, fully retire, or never have to take another job again then you’d be thrilled.
You know that’s how I felt when I was struggling. The only thing I wanted was to quit my depressing day job.
You probably don’t care if you’re “ultra” wealthy.
The fact is, you would be happy to escape your prison… *cough… job.
The ticking of the clock above your head and the ten cent raises…
The checks that are never big enough to pay for food or bills…
To have time to spend with your family and friends.
Maybe even have some time to yourself… every once in a while… to do what you want to do… when you want to do it…
The good news is that you don’t have to be a genius to figure this marketing and business stuff out.
The good news is that you don’t have to be a genius to figure this marketing and business stuff out.
I’m certainly not a genius or a computer whiz.
Besides, you already know that you’re smart enough to figure things out if you spend enough time on it.
If you have enough time. If you don’t waste any…
But it doesn’t take much to get overwhelmed and frustrated because there’s so many courses, books, and widgets out there.
So you need to focus, lock yourself in a room. Study this stuff.
(I still have to do that from time to time.)
(I still have to do that from time to time.)

That’s what you have to do when you’re first starting out. You live like a shut-in and study your skills when you can’t get out to use them.
Your friends will go out and have fun but you need to study.
If you can’t afford the big courses…
Then you invest in what you can afford right now and you through the material three or four times instead of once.
You have to study and work it in your spare time.
That sucks because you’re probably working overtime to pay the bills and rent or taking care of your kids.
If you never really have “spare” time then you have to make it.
That’s an unfortunate fact of life. But it’s inescapable.
You might start to feel like your job or maybe even your children are getting in the way of your future.
That your family or spouse is “getting in the way” too.
It’s not true. But it feels that way.
They probably won’t be as excited about your new life as you are.
They will probably think that you’re hopeless…
Sometimes you might even believe them.
But I believe in you. I was there.
You know, it would be nice to have somebody to tell you exactly what to do and when to do it.
But isn’t an option if you don’t have dimes to spare.
You might have to choose books over food for yourself.
I had to make that choice many times. In fact, I once went six months without entering a grocery store.
I “raided” refrigerators for leftovers when I visited friends.
I “borrowed” toilet paper from restaurants.
But when you get where you’re going in life…
If you had to do it all over again you won’t change a thing.
That is, except for one small thing…
You won’t waste time trying to reinvent the wheel.
You will find out what is really working now and copy it word for word without shame instead of suffering for months or even years…
That’s the only regret you’ll have about your inevitable success…
The fact that you could have gotten here sooner but didn’t…
If it shaves a year off your learning curve…
It’s worth missing a meal or two.
If you want to know what’s really working now then a good place to start is the What’s Working Now Short-Cut System.
I won’t tell you to miss a meal or two a month to buy it…
That’s your decision to make, not mine.
I tried to “reinvent the wheel” in my bat cave and I was broke and working fast food for nickels and dimes for almost two depressingly miserable years…
I know what I would do if I had to do it all over again…
But you might not be as driven to succeed as I was. I really don’t know…
The bottom-line is: SUCCESS TAKES WORK.
