Take Inventory of Your Assets and Arsenal for Your Future

Contrary to what "experts" who are supposedly on your side say, you do still have a lot of weapons and tools on your disposal. 

First, you have your attention.  Pay attention to what you want.  Pay attention to what you respect and admire.  Don't pay attention to your enemies, as they expect attention, praise, legitimacy, and etc.  People who want you under their thumb will just try to confuse you.

Second, whether you live in the U.S. or not you are born free.  You have rights.  Neither the Federal Reserve or Ivy League politicians gave you any rights.  Those people want to take your rights away.

So be free in your mind.  Reject unfair laws.  Feel free to criticize corrupt politicians and "superiors."  Obviously, you don't want to drink their kool aid.  You don't have to think the way your government professor says you should.  Free yourself from sales talk, empty campaign talk, and find the best options.

Third, you have common sense.  Utilize it.  Our real leaders of the past warned us of subversion, fallacy, scheming, debauchery, immorality, irresponsibility, and socialism.  We used to be warned as children of pied pipers.

If it hurts, maybe you shouldn't do it.  If its not real food, don't eat it.  If it is not a comedy movie, don't try it if it's illogical or unreasonable. 

Just as no one owes you anything, you don't owe anyone else anything.

Fourth, you have your memory.  The "elites" and all their disciples tell us to forget and obey and to accept feces as gold.  Remember the schemes used against you.  If you choose not to forget what will prevent the same scam a second time?  Definitely forgive, but don't become a doormat.  Remember not to bet the farm when the market is at an all time high or when expectations are irrational.

Remember things that really work and are helpful.  Find new ideas and tips that are helpful.  Obviously, you will want to remember friends, how to get customers, where to get the bet deal on anything you may need, how to do a SWOT analysis, ways to improvise, and many other things.

Fifth, you have (hopefully) your earning power.  Increase your earning capacity if you can, by learning valuable skills.  Outsource small tasks.  Begin to create passive income.  Invest in any type of tool you firmly believe will help. Don't do things that jeoprodize your earning power.

Sixth, you have your network.  A person wrongly demonized by some politician, reporter, pastor, teacher, or anybody might actually be a like minded and friendly person who stood up for themself.  Anyone opposed to your success and bliss may demean or socially isolate or bait you.  All your friends must undertand this.  If one does not, then he will be the person who turns against you and your friends (and for a pittance).  Yes, like Judas.

Seventh, you have a Master MInd group (MMG).  At least you should be in one soon.  Your Master MInd needs to be closed to outside influences and negativity.  Figure out how to turn negativity into good productive work.  In your MMG, you need members with skills, knowledge, and resources you do not.  Your members should have similar goals.  The people in your Master Mind have to abide by your group's basic rules and be willing to help each other for money, trade, or for free.

Your MMG needs to operate in a spirit of unity and harmony.

Eighth, you have your cell phone, PC, software, physical tools, physical equipment, cash, real estate, and specialized knowledge that you can use to improve your life or reach any goal.

Ninth, you hopefully have mobility.  You hopefully have a vehicle, and the ability to relocate and travel should you want to.

Tenth, you have your word (and credit and reputation).

Eleventh, you have God.  God can move mountains.  God gave you the power and ability to control yourself, over animals, and more.  You do have the power to watch TV and drink rum but those things only get you so far.

What To Do If You Fail

We tried and failed, some people will tell me.  Try again, I say.  Try a different approach.  Shut out negative and hyperoptimistic opion.  Spend some time with your MasterMind.  Do some group hypnosis or guided visualization,  or a brainstorm session. 

What seems a logical action to move closer to your goal? (Understand I am unable to guarantee any of these ideas will work) Getting a subscription to Guru Focus? Running stock screeners and researching companies you think you like?  Picking an analyst's brain?  Reviewing you budget and bank records?

There are lots of side projects you can start.  It may not be entertaining, but you can start a small venture and try to get a sale.  Like I said, at my site I have a list of fast cash ideas.  Use them.  The "executive" job will never manifest.  

If you at all a sane adult, you can take a vaporous idea, flesh it out, test it, contemplate it and see if you have an idea.  90% of businesses fail, 99% of affiliate marketers fail, 98% of MLM's fail.  Did the ones who succeeded not try?  Failing at a business doesn't make you a failure.  If you can manage the risk, why wouldn't you go for it?

Gain an understanding of your investment vehicle and businesses.  You can usually corect course or make adjustments after you launch.  Do the work you feel will help you overcome the odds.

If you can't afford to lose any money on a business, find a second job.  Be a housesitter.  Work behind a counter on a night shift.  If its allowed, work on your projects then.

Do Extra Work and/or Sell Stuff in Exchange for Physical Silver

I got the idea of exchanging goods and services for silver from the Outsider's Club.

What do you have in abundance that you can trade for silver?

Silver is still fairly low in price.   Look around for deals.

Tony Robbins on Mental Conditioning

UPW Tip of the Day: The secret to achieving your goals is mental conditioning. Review your goals at least twice daily. Post your goals where you're sure to see them every day: on your desk, in your wallet, or over your bathroom mirror so you can look at them while you're shaving or putting on makeup. Remember, whatever you consistently think about and focus upon, you move toward.

The Gold Rush is On - What Can You Sell Modern Day Gold Miners ?

What can you sell app developers?  What can you sell into any crazed or hot market?  It's the same as entrepreneurs in the California gold rush selling tools, clothes, and supplies to gold miners.  Not all the entrepreneurs were gold miners.

Let me list some hot niches you could sell into: MLM's, affiliate marketing, job searching, higher education, eBook authors, fitness, organic food and other organic items, improving credit scores, and the list goes on.

Ok, I have introduced you to some ideas that will get you started.  Now, let's get the right kind of peer pressure so we'll follow through.

Very Real Conspiracy Theories and Your Wealth

As I wrote in part 2 of the Black Book of the Master Mind, the downfall of the U.S. was planned long ago.  Steering the U.S. over the cliff will make things equitable for the rest of the world, a professor told his class in 1994.

After you read the following, you'll see the facts fit.

- We are trained to phrase our affirmations and hypnosis in a positive way.  Telling yourself, "never, ever do that!"  has to be more effective than trying to formulate a mush mouth positive statement.   Sure, 3/4 of our parents over corrected us with "no's" and negative reinforcement, but big deal! 

Experiment on yourself when you use self hypnosis and see if using "negative" affirmations move you at all. 

I honestly think this positive phrasing stuff is conspiracy, made to make Americans dumb, gullible, and malleable.

- Don't be a perfectionist.  Do sloppy performances win big money?  Does sloppy cleaning and maintenance pass inspection?  Does being a perfectionist have to keep you from getting things done? I say no.  If you were a perfectionist, would you ever practice your craft, sport, or whatever? No, you'd practice and learn the lessons via mistakes that are necessary.

- We are trained to watch tv and obey it.  Frequently, us humans try to please mouthpieces, ambush facilitators, mockers, and critics we see and hear on all media.  How much do these programs help you make money? Are you happy with the politicians and society they have given us?  We care too much about the opinions of fools and evil people.

- Our "superiors" act as if genuine achievement doesn't boost self esteem.  It does.  Kill your TV and accomplish something.  Many kids in this country are apathetic and unmotivated because of brainwashing. Don't stop and seek an idiot's opinion if you can avoid it.

- Individualists, entrepreneurs, and people who stand up for themselves are frequently isolated, mocked, hoodwinked, and falsely accused.  "Right wingers" who insist on putting the elite's nonsense in their heads will scatter when their heroes are struck.  They are easily divided against each other and themselves.  If you are divided against yourself, you'll find things not working out.

- They say you have to go to college. No you don't.  Many billionaires quit or did not attend college. You can Google your education, like Sean Parker says.  You can read how-to's.  You can experiment on your own.  You can search for instructional videos on youtube. You can go to a seminar.

- When professors (and others) drop the truth bomb, they immediately put the sh*t back in the horse or sugarcoat the facts so people don't "turn negative" or panic.  Be the special kind of person that pulls the poison pill right out of all the tasty stuff.  They can still say they told you.

- People are told the government can and will take care of them?  Like 19th century Native Americans?  Like bank customers in Cyprus? Like famous whistleblowers of recent history?  Like 86 year old in the  U.S. that need heart surgery?  Like any convenient whipping boy in all history?

Oh, and don't pay attention to the Georgia Guidestones.

Get your MasterMind or the mentors in your MasterMind to kick your ass, take logical steps towards your goals, stay up late, face fears, and even multitask, if you must to get things done.

One Way to Get Rich: Write a Bestseller

You can try to write a bestseller.  Look at the bestseller's list from time to time.  Doing so will get you ideas.  What is selling?  What authors have a cult following?  What is an evergreen topic that readers may want or need to read about for years? 

What can you write that could be mandatory reading for a business or other organization?  What really big phenomena can you tap into? Star Wars? Test prep guides? Healthy eating? Geneology? Conspiracy theories and preparedness?  Use your imagination and brainstorm.

Even if your book or eBook doesn't sell, you probably wouldn't go broke.  You will certainly learn lessons about writing and marketing.  If you fail, try again. 

Look at the sales rankings of books you find in search.  This tells you where there is demand. What is the copy of the book's description like? Is the cover attractive?  What do the title and subtitle say?  Use Google's keyword research tool to find profitable topics and keywords. 

Just a note, my paperback books have outsold my kindle books by 5 to 1.

If you don't feel you are a good enough writer, read a little book called Elements of Style.  I bet you will find Elements of Style very helpful.  

If you come across a template for a useful how-to, use it.  Using a template (or a model) will save you a lot of time and make your eBook easier for the readers to follow.  Copy the style of a book you really like.

Don't solicit advice about the writing business from an idiot who can't understand you are not writing a paper to please some teacher.  Some people may try to steal your ideas, too. 

www.mastermind-university.com has a few more ideas for getting rich.  Tell your real friends about MMU. Thanks.

10 Ways to Make Money in the Stock Market

Your 401(K) probably sucks eggs.

Get a regular brokerage account at Ameritrade, Fidelity, E trade, Scottrade, or Vanguard.

Forget for the sheeple news.  Forget the talk and chatter of people you have to be around.  Forget salesman and politicians.

Definitely forget salesman who get paid whether you succeed or fail.

Remember this: buy low and sell high.  If the market is high, hold off on buying.  Don’t listen to people who act like all time in the market is going to make money.

Don’t be anxious to make a trade or to force a trade when the market is high.

New companies can be great investments.  Research recent and upcoming IPO’s.  Is there a new business you heard of that sounds interesting? Research it.  Visit the store.  Look at the company’s web site.

You have to decide if you have found the next Netflix.

Investigate rumors you read and hear.  There’s a saying, “Buy on the rumor. Sell on the news.” On business news channels, investment newsletters, and major online investment sites, you will hear rumors and hypothesis for investments.

I once read in a newsletter that a small company may land a big contract.  It did, and I made 40% in a few days. (Keep in mind there is risk.)

Some financial writers will identify major trends and predict which stocks will prosper as a result.

You have to use your own judgment to determine which stocks to buy. There are plenty of bad investment advisors out there. 

Throw away newsletters that come in the mail that sell micro caps.

Value investing works.  What major stock is down 50% or more?  You have to determine if the company is finished forever or if it can be turned around.

You have heard of Warren Buffet, the legendary value investor.  Buffett buys shares of excellent companies that are temporarily down on their luck.  You could do the same. 

Next time recession strikes, read investment newsletters, run stock screeners, and look at your watch list and portfolio and see what the greatest values are.

Since the 2000 recession, your enemy has floated the idea of confiscating retirement accounts.  You may want to consider regular accounts and possibly offshore accounts.  You are on your own.  One Congressman recently called retirement accounts “our money.”

A company announcing expansion could be good.  If you read in the news that a store plans to add 50 stores this year, research the stock.  Forget the free newsletters that come in the mail. Forget spam on the Internet.

The major trends are your friends; at least they should be if you have them at your back.  What trends do investors, workers, and companies deal with now and see in the near future?  Here in the U.S. we have the aging of the Baby Boomers, immigration, cost cutting, outsourcing, rising higher ed enrollment, smart phones, social media, app development, domestic spying, and rising welfare costs.  There are way more.

If you read that a company is going to acquire another company or be acquired by another company, you should investigate the company getting acquired. 

New management being announced is usually good for a stock price. 

If there is a political revolution in a country by a party that is pro-capitalist, decide if you should buy the country specific ETF.

Tech revolutions make fortunes.  How many millionaires were made by computers, software, and the Internet?  We may have to sit around a while.  I have to think we’ll see things change.  But nanotechnology, neuroscience, alternative energy, robotics, organics, and more fields can lead to more millionaires.

Again, throw away the free newsletters and avoid spam.  Avoid sales talk.

Last I heard, IBM has the most nanotechnology patents.

Get rich options could be an idea, if you can afford to lose 90% of the time.  Yes, most options expire worthless.  Go to CBOE dot org to learn how to trade options.

Start a Day Care or Preschool to Gain Self-Employment

I stumbled across an eBook that makes starting a day care/preschool much easier.
If you find something NOT in the eBook I'm about to show you, you can call their customer support number.
If you are thinking of a day care- preschool to escape the boss or an income for a spouse, consider a day care.
Of course a day care may not lead to financial independence, but again, you can work for yourself.

Here it is.  (This eBook used to be almost $50. Now it's under $9.)

How You - the Cutting Edge Person - Can Become a Billionaire or How To at Least Get Rich

My thinking, as of today:

You are responsible.  Not your parents, boss, ex-spouse, stock broker, realtor, etc. You are responsible.

The next logical thing to do is clean house and get those barnacles off your ship.  Get a concealed carry permit, if you need one.

Next, the fields.  I'd look into the Internet, tech of all sorts, real estate, hedge funds (and funds for the masses), clean tech and environmental (waste disposal, recycling, etc), and maybe entertainment. 

The governments like the industries above.  They're worried about the environment. (Watch 'em burn us!)

Back to you are responsible...don't shack up with and make babies with looney disreputable people.

Anyway, get started doing the work you can and work all you can.  Remember, it's not what you make that counts, it's what you keep.

One idea, to allow for scalability, is to hire a good employee and have them to most of your work while you work at growing the business, and taking it to the next level. If you have the work, you can hire 2 employees, etc.

Obviously, the more rewarding the work, in all senses of the word, the more you stand to make.

Oh, be sure from the beginning, that you have big trends and/ or big demands working in your favor.  You could try to renew a dying industry or launch a short lived phenomenon, this could be worth a try.  But, my thinking now is to see what you can bring your niche, your sector, your city, maybe, your whole demographic, etc.  What are your best ideas, and inventions? You can launch more than one idea.

A  question to ask is: does your product or service save the public, the government, or businesses a substantial amount of money, or provide security, increased health, etc?  Well, the government over here in the states kinda likes to burn millions at a time on nonsense.

A related question to answer is: where do you find customers and how do you approach them correctly?  What price is right?  Is your product or service exactly right (tailored) enough for their needs?  You have to do market research.

Keep current on all relevant trends and emerging technology that you can use, sell, improve on, and etc.  You have to understand (ball park anyway) what it means.  Keep in mind, things can change fast.

Forget degrees.  Forget 95% of all thought and theory.  You can Google and use amazon to find almost anything you need that can be read.  Stay up and read how-to's ahead of time and as needed.  Read legal statutes, statistics of all sorts could be useful, learn from autobiographies, read other peoples market research.  Research your competitors, allies, and investigate leads and hunches as needed.  In a nutshell, worthy employers don't need a cog with an MBA in this economic environment.

Learn by trial and error.  Adopt a moral code if you don't have one.  Be honest and fair with yourself and everyone else.  Most of us can start by admitting we're rats in cages.

Don't be lazy.  You may need to trade comfort for profit margins.  All of this is up to you.  Because you are responsible, no one else.

A Major Skill for Today's World ...

... is to take the negative information, news, opinions, and emotions and channel them into doing good work.

Cronyism and shell games abound.  But its essential not to get down.

Sure, professors and others will look you I'm the eye and lie.  But know there is and are shell games and you need to expose them, be wary of them, and try to make them obsolete.

Don't delude yourself into thinking you have no help for wealth.  People with serious problems like panic attacks and ulcers sometimes escape the rat race.

Anyway, take a look at the links above for MMU and the Yahoo group and see if those help.  Yes its a lot of reading.  But its much cheaper than mortgaging your future for political thought disquised as career or financial education.

Channel negative input into excellent valuable work

Launch Bank of You Today

But you could succeed too.

Becoming a Billionaire

Keep in mind when airplanes fly they are frequently off course.  You will not feel on course all the time.  Things will f up from time to time.

Research your fields for the most profitable and growing niches.  Sell to that market or sell to the entrepreneurs selling to that market.

Don't get complacent.  Keep an eye on competitors and the people who come around with questions. People will legitimately compete or try to steal.

Look at new variations of old business models. What entrepreneurs are doing business in a new and better way?

If you want to become a billionaire you need to do the same.

A Few More Tidbits that can Help You Become a Billionaire

First train your body and mind to obey your commands. Keep it simple.  Don't curse or abuse yourself in any way.  Reward yourself for getting your body and mind to obey.

Read the previous post.

Act, right now, as if you are now in business,  your own bank, or whatever works for you.  Make a plan. Talk to entrepreneurs.  Form a mastermind.

Look at your habits, attitudes,  and beliefs. One adjustment in attitude,  even a little one, can make a huge difference.  

Ie you might decide to tackle a problem other entrepreneurs avoid. Use your brain. Best your competitors.

And finally,  kill your tv.

How to Become a Billionaire

One of my favorite topics.

Develop and license products, anything with strong demand and/or appeal.  Don't stop at one!

You may need engineers to build prototypes,  that's fine.  But outsource as much of your business you can.  Then you can design and sell more products.

Of course you'll need to achieve scale AND magnitude to have a chance of pulling this off.

Build your team and get to work.

Read the black book of the master mind and read 47 fast cash ideas seen at your right.  These will help with their respective topics.

New Rule On Fantasy ...

Positive fantasies,  visualization, and imagination only.

Ask yourself the right questions.
Be solutions oriented.

Force yourself to only have positive fantasies.

Www.mastermind-university.com has a couple new pages added. A book called Escape the Matrix will be available soon.

Which Opportunities Offer the Greatest Rewards?

I'd say that's the question to ask yourself.

Excellent Quote for Today

"Devote today to something so daring even you can't believe you're doing it." - Oprah Winfrey

Do Epic Sh*t and Gain Publicity, Feel Excitement, or Support Your Cause

What is something epic you can do to get publicity, support your cause, make money, or just feel excitement or accomplishment?

Maybe you should try something.

What kind of stuff could you do?  Let me give you some examples and ideas:

- Bush 41 skydived a while back.
- People make videos and they go viral on Facebook and email. Record your stunt.
- Just do the thing you have always wanted to do.  Book the flight today.
- Apply for your dream job today.
- Join forces with an old foe.
- Find some supportive people and have them hold you accountable for being 100 % positive for 24 hours.
- Face a fear.

There are tons of things you can do.  You are the only one to decide which idea to pull the trigger on.

Learn Everything About Your Field

Anthony Robbins read everything about human development,  personal development, and NLP.

Stephen Reynolds of the One Master Mind read everything about marketing.

Read everything in your field.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

One Idea that Indirectly Leads to Wealth...

... is to focus on doing what you love or are really good at.  Chasing money doesn't always work.

Learn or practice a skill that helps you. Learn something new. Or take a short vacation.

Make sure you are growing.  Go even a little outside your comfort zone.  Spend thirty minutes at my site and be sure to check out the videos.

Cash Solves Lots of Problems

Having cash boosts your self confidence.

Working to get cash boosts self esteem.

Having plans and back up plans brings confidence,  security,  and enhances your leadership ability.

The world throws tons of BS your way.
BS clouds your judgment and fools you.

Detach from the media's nonsense. Detach from the canned crap you hear at work.

Forget senseless advertising.

Spend 30 minutes at:

Boost self confidence,  bs advertising,  back up plans

Threats to Your Business and Investments

You job and business and investments can be helped or hurt by:
- globalization.
- technology (robotics, nanotechnology, computers, software, cell phones, and on and on...)
- demographic and cultural trends

Your environment is quickly changing. Determine what changes will affect you and take appropriate actions.

Detach from your situation and get a clear objective view.

What has helped you to this point? Write down everything that has helped you.
Can you get more of what helps you?  Do you need other types of help?

Can you incentivize the changes you need?  Can you rally or consult your chief stakeholders and see what actions will lead to profits?

Eventually, a recession and a currency crisis will arrive.  Are you ready?  Plan now.

Are your phony allies and bad advisers telling you everything will be rosy?  You can't fail?
Ditch them and do your own research.

If you are going to prosper in the future, its up to you.  Not your boss or fraudulent advisers.

Research your business, career, and maybe investing problems and threats.  Don't be afraid of heresy.
Do your own research.  Remember, sometimes the scandal is what's legal. Ask questions.

Spend some time at every page of this site: www.mastermind-university.com

Lies From Authorities are Still Lies

Don't listen to "Authorities" or critics who talk in one word sentences or who use lame sales talk or play the delay game.  One word sentences and the delay game are dead give aways of socialists and other cons.

Even if you drink the kool aid at school, work, or church, your "super
iors" are not interested in seeing you retire early, learn real skills, or even make a living wage.

That's my rant for the day

An Idea I Have Touted Many Times - Try It!

Fill up a page of paper with your greatest accomplishments.

You best achievements: graduation, an A+, a sales record, an award, being the one guy who got hired out of hundreds, your first stock doubler, meeting a celeb, anything you achieved.

Write it or type it all and print it out.

Now, when you need confidence ( or self esteem ) just read this paper.

I bet you'll have the idea that you at least need a new great accomplishment after you read your paper.

Don't let fraudulent hypocrite enemies see your sheet.

How did you feel before and after you reached your accomplishments?

Reviewing your greatest accomplishments paper must be at least as beneficial as a pericetum pill.

This is one of my all time fav hacks.

Global and Exponential

"Things are not local and linear anymore.  But life was linear and local for generations. 
Today, we live in a world that is global and exponential."

One Way to Become a Billionaire

Clean tech, recycling, waste disposal, and environmentally friendly products could lead to billion dollar fortunes, jobs, and tax revenue.

Nanotechnology will doubtlessly play a role in the above industries.

If you can curb pollution, you could become a billionaire.

Look at what other entrepreneurs have done.  Maybe you can greatly improve on an existing service.

Automate Your Online Business

Plan to automate your online business after you have done all your market and keyword research. 
Before your try to automate as much as possible, learn about your target audience and your initial customers.

Here are three more things to keep in mind:

- You can outsource lots of tasks at fiverr dot com

- You need to start an opt in list from the beginning

- I don't know how you outsource JV's.  But do JV's to sell your product and build your list.

Get Rich in the Next Recession

Recessions are where you get rich.

You buy a business, or stocks, and real estate while while investors, business owners, and workers are fearful.

In the midst of a recession, you can lock in great dividend yields from CEF's and stocks.

If you are sure you are right and can afford the risk, you can use leverage.

Are you prepared for the next recession?

The Challenge: Wealth From Scratch

1st: save money and pay off debts.

2nd: buy real estate, businesses, silver, gold, value stocks, or other paper investments from distressed sellers.  Use your brain.  What is your horizon for your investment? Due your due diligence.  Make sure business and real estate have positive cash flow from the start.  Know what you are doing, strain your brain. Avoid phony friends and advisors that are really salesmen.

3rd:  spread your money around.  You'll look silly if the government confiscates gold or retirement accounts.  Don't put 100% in either. Consider putting a little cash in a life insurance policy and/or an annuity, after you have maxed your Roth IRA.

4th:  Check your credit score.  Pay bills on time.  See if you can raise your credit rating.  This makes financing business and real estate much easier.

5th:  Get the right kind of peer pressure in your life.  You need a Master Mind group.  You don't need seasoned sheeple TV watchers.

If you or someone in your Master Mind is considering starting or buying a business, do research.  Talk to customers who buy X.  Make sure there is sufficient demand for your product.  I'd probably stick with the strongest demand in a field you are comfortable in.

How to Think Big

This is an article I wrote in 2009.  It's time for a review.  Leave a comment if you want to add anything.


Most people think too small. They chase small rewards, and that's what they get, small rewards. Donald Trump has been quoted as saying that it's a good thing most people think small, because that leaves the big stuff for him. "If you're going to think at all, you might as well think big", says the Donald.

How do you think big? Rather than say, "I plan to release a one hour audio", you could say, "I plan to release a series of excellent audio programs which will be a must have in my industry."

A good idea is to think in broader terms. You can take a job where you do one little thing all day, or you can prepare a business that will serve many, either through automation or more employees, or both. If you can add more value to your product or service than anyone else, and effectively serve more people than anyone else, wealth and success will follow.

Solving bigger problems leads to massive success. I used to work with a guy who worried way too much about tiny problems and issues at work. When he wasn't doing that, he was proposing to the company things that would not make money or add to the bottom line at all. When you think about solving a problem, think in terms of the World, or your country, or your industry, or a whole demographic, etc. Solve a big problem and sell your service to people who have that problem. Then get to work making a business plan and finding investors. Make sure your services are seen as superior and worth the price paid by your customers. If the world thinks your products or services solve their problems, you have succeeded on a big scale.

Associate with people who think big. Work for a company that is trying to make it big, by solving big problems. Start or join a mastermind made up of people who have serious ambition. Enjoy some coffee with those studious and ambitious business majors at school.

Piggy back on the back of an entrepreneur by working as an assistant, or at least follow his/her books, articles, corporate web site, and blog. This will give you some insight as to where that entrepreneur is going and where your industry is headed. You could invest in the company (or fund) that your role model entrepreneur is running. You are more likely to follow it if you own some of it.

When you make decisions regarding your success in business and life, ask yourself questions like: how will this increase the bottom line of my business? Am I taking a big enough project? Is the time requirement worth the reward? Will this help me take on bigger projects in the future? Can I take this company public? Can I expand this business internationally? Am I managing enough risk? You get the idea, think big.

In conclusion, make sure you are working hard enough on the things that matter the most, and be sure to always follow through when it comes to your customers.
