My friend Andrea Noble Respectfully retired herself from her Job within 6 months of taking Action on her goal.  Before taking action was the SEARCH for the WAY and before the search was the DECISION about what she wanted.

I wanted to share a little bit of Andreas words with you to INSPIRE you to decide, to search, and to take action on whatever you decide is most important to you.

Most of you have decided what’s really important to you but sadly most of you haven’t made it beyond decision. Most of you are not IMMERSED in the SEARCH for the WAY to make it happen.  And some of you, when you find the WAY, you offer up reasons why you believe you can’t instead of why you HAVE to. Most of you ROB YOURSELVES of even making the discovery of HOW TO because you’re not IMMERSED in the SEARCH for HOW TO.  Most of you will have the HOW dropped right in front of you and you won’t even see it because you’re not Searching. Instead you offered up reasons why you can’t.  Your brain is stuck on why you can’t and won’t even see the obvious Rhino standing in the middle of the living room.  When you focus on why you can’t, you’ll find why you can’t every time.

Change your focus on why you MUST and you’ll see opportunities that were always there.  IMMERSE yourself in the SEARCH and you’ll make the life changing discoveries of HOW TO EVERY TIME.

Read What Andrea Noble Says and let her words IMMERSE YOU into the SEARCH:

Andrea Noble Loving Her New Found FREEDOM

You guys are lucky. Tom is here for you. I found that my job was very unhealthy for me.  It BURNED me every gorgeous day that I had to drive thrive traffic to a prison of an office every day! In my [highlight]searching[/highlight] I was led to TOM who helped me learn how to get into profit mode quickly. I respectfully walked away from the day job forever within 6 months. In the beginning when I told him I aimed to be job free within 6 months, even HE suggested “I don’t recommend it! Unless you are one of the 2% that has what it takes to do it, but so far I haven’t met anyone that has been able to do it that quick yet.” 6 months later, I was job FREE! The 30 days to profit training sequence is what is unique and helped me become successful.

A new round starts every month. My whole life has changed. And I will be spending the rest of it happy, free to lie down beneath a tree in gorgeous weather whenever I want! I hope to see some new faces in the group starting up!

I’m working with Rebecca, a High School DROP OUT, Teen RUNAWAY, Abuse Survivor, Former Druggie, currently ENSLAVED to a corporate job and in financial DEBT that she wants to ESCAPE from as soon as possible. She is totally hungry, Teachable, just an AWESOME lady.

She just sent me a screen shot of all this new money she is Very Quickly creating in her spare time outside of her corporate job. She only enrolled with me a couple weeks ago without using ANY of her own money. This is so powerful because this demonstrates in the Real World that you and I both live in that no matter who you are, what your past is, what your present is, what your hardships are, you can overcome if you can begin to look beyond what the eyes can see. And it can start VERY quickly!

It’s not about the money. There is a PURPOSE behind it. I’m going to copy and past some of what Rebecca sent me because it’s from her mind and only she can express her true self more accurately than anyone else can. I want you to get a sense of what this is meaning for her to INSPIRE YOU to begin searching for answers to overcome whatever pain you have in your life right now, too, regardless of your past or present.

In Rebeccas words:

Rebecca

“Considering my hectic schedule as of late, I’m happy with this start.

I put my faith in this project. I desired to get out of debt (from divorce last year) and pay off my house so I can devote myself to healthy fulfilling work. I’m a corporate slave right now. IF I could make a career change into something that gives back – getting paid while helping people conquer their unhealthy demons right along side me conquering my own, then HOW PERFECT would life be!? Seeing $$$ come in DIRECT DEPOSIT into my bank for merely trying to be happier and healthier is one of those “too good to be true” moments, except it really is true. And I know from seeing this initial reward that it can and will happen. Dreams can and will come true.

Bottom line, I look forward to the day when I have a choice to not be a corporate slave anymore.

I have more to give to the world than making the rich richer at the expense of my health and time.

The quick return means… hope.

The light at the end of the tunnel. I see it.

Of course there’s much more to the story. I may need a whole book.

One of these days I’ll write it. Another project for when I have more free time after the transition. Along with a recipe book.

I’m a high school drop out and teen runaway.

Abuse survivor and former druggie. Lots of fun stuff there.

Lots of juicy drama bits with a happy ending.”

I’ve been running this Closed Group on Facebook that I’ve seen more people experience MAJOR Breakthroughs in their lives than in anything else I’ve ever put together before. It’s called, “30 Days to Profit”.

Someone bails out of the group in the midst of all these others creating BIG breakthroughs saying he believes his gender is causing people not to trust him as much as the opposite gender, so therefore he believes he cannot succeed because he is not a female.

His note sums up why people never make a Breakthrough.  This blog is entirely free and I’m giving you your moneys worth so read carefully, without taking any offense, but to BREAK a mindset that has kept you back from creating your own Major Breakthroughs.

Pick the excuse you use, any excuse, every excuse is a well planned lie you use to protect your ego from getting hurt because you falsely identify your excuse as the reason when in reality you place protecting your ego higher than positively impacting people.

Ever wonder why most people still fail to make their own Breakthrough? Most people have a lot of excuses.  Some people give up their excuses for results. Wanna let your PAST be your GAIN from here on out? Where are YOU making excuses? Where can you draw a line in the sand? In my Profit Training Sequence I have people retiring themselves from the job racket, restoring relationships,  building up their confidence, inspiring others who feel trapped, and the list of successes over hardships gos on and on un-ending. The way one does one thing is the way one does most things.  But for people who are drawing a line in the sand this has been the thing to help them create MASSIVE breakthroughs in their lives.

When most people are squeezed they quit and offer up excuses to protect how they feel; their ego. Deep down inside they know they quit and that their excuse in reality only serves a failed attempt to protect the ego.

Don’t do what most people continue doing.  Buck the trends of excuse making and ego protection.  They go hand in hand. Success is not selfish.  It’s your excuses you’ve used that has kept you from inspiring people that you’re suppose to inspire in a selfish effort to protect yourself.  Your Ego will feel BETTER when you’re INSPIRING people.

This is some of My AWESOME Family. Position yourself to spend more time with your family and whatever is MOST important to you.

What happens if you stop stealing time away from your family to be at your job?  They take your livelihood away and you stop getting paid.

Investing your Time Versus Stealing your time are two totally different worlds.  Stealing your time for money positions you inside of a modern day form of SLAVERY that 49 out of every 50 people are living. Investing your time positions you for FREEDOM, INSURANCE, Security, Stability, Peace..

Investing your time is something that doesn’t typically pay you right away, but, is powerful to set you free to NEVER have to work for money or a paycheck ever again so you can spend your time on the things you decide are most important. 49 out of 50 people have ZERO willingness to delay ANY gratification, so they are unwilling to invest their time, and they stay ENSLAVED to money for which they’ve anointed their master to steal time from their family for it.

Truth Serum: There is so much more money being printed and in circulation than there are opportunities to solve money problems for every person in the united states. So why are most people broke if there is more than enough money being printed for EVERYONE?  Here me out..

In 1971 the government took the dollar off of the gold standard so they could print more to meet the demands of an ever growing entitlement driven society. Today they print a fiat currency backed by absolutely nothing, artificially propping up our economy with the value of the dollar, faster than you could ever save it which is why the savings accounts pay you back very low interest while using DEBT to make money has become financially sound.

looting and Growing entitlements are behind the dramatic de value of the dollar which has made it more difficult for you to support yourself and your family.  One of the best ways you can serve your country, as well as support your family, is to get your hands on as much of this artificially propped up money as you can and produce something with it.

Production creates money and raises the value of that money while people who take and produce nothing devalue money and dishonor people who work hard and produce.  If enough people learn about money and go to work to produce something we can restore the value of the dollar as well as the stability of our nation which is good for everyone.

The ONLY reason so many in the USA are struggling financially is the average person is financially illiterate and constantly transfers any new money they make to people financially smarter than them, and even worse, most who claim to know something about money know absolutely nothing about money and seal their fate with their beliefs and relationship with money.

If you have problems or stress stemming from Money Draw a Line in the sand. It’s a learning process, you can do it, there are people like me Rooting for you because I know you can do it. You’ve learned to do everything that you know how to do today. You’ve already proven you can learn a new skill time and time again.  You are more capable than you realize or give yourself credit for. Instead of looking at how far you have to go look at how far you’ve come and build on THAT.

Desert Blue Sky

I’m going to show you the tip of the iceberg of what’s possible by LIVING it rather than just talking it. Lots of people are full of talk with Empty results to back up their talk inspiring no one to do anything.

What are some of your favorite places to travel to? Where would you like to travel that you’ve never been? What, where, and with whom would you like to EXPERIENCE as you assume Captain of your own ship? And the big question.. How do you get to a place where you can LIVE all of that from where ever it is you are right now?

Those answers are different from person to person, but, here is what I know..

I know living under the thumb of someone else who can tell you to do anything because they have the power to take your livelihood away kills the human spirit making it easier to give in to your current circumstances without even searching for a way out of that enslavement. I also know that all it takes is a new belief to spark a SLEEPING GIANT within you to begin that relentless search for those answers to live FREE from under anyones thumb so you can spend the rest of your life on what you decide is MOST important to you.

It doesn’t matter if you’re broke, in debt, no free time, whatever your past and present there is a pathway that works for EXACTLY where you’re at right now and where you want to go. Sell yourself on being pulled so powerfully by your vision that everything else that’s pulling you away from your vision suddenly becomes weak and insignificant to you anymore.

Inside the VERY “off the cuff” video below I touch on some of these answers that go directly toward your Human Spirit. This video represents part of my Vision which is different than yours so absorb it as that for whatever your unique vision is that YOU get to create for yourself and your Family.

MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL THAT IS GOOD

Hear me out before CLUTCHING YOUR MORALS to judge me with =)

The LOVE of money is the ROOT of and where evil and corruption is birthed.

When you generate money from work and production you give value to money.

Therefore, the value of money is sourced from good people who work and produce.

When you generate money from looting and entitlement you take value away from money and dishonor the people who work and produce.

The devastating paradox happening right now is there are many good working people producing something who say things like, “money is evil” or, “Money causes greed” or “money makes people do bad things” etc..

When you associate a negative connotation to money you actually dishonor the source of that money which is YOU doing the work that you do to produce something that generates money and adds value to money.

So you are both taking from and adding value to money through your in-congruent good work and negative connotations about money.

It’s a sinister form of Self-Sabotage you’re not aware of you’re doing to yourself and to your family.

The looting and entitlement has grown to a level that the united states government decided to take our Dollar off the gold standard in 1971 in order to keep printing more paper money, backed by nothing and giving rise to inflation, to be able to keep up with a demand for an ever growing entitlement driven society and a shrinking VALUE driven society.

Some of you need to place a catchers mit on your mouth when you start talking negatively about money because when you speak such foolishness in reality you are paving an easier way for more corruption and entitlements which only hurts your ability to make an honest living for you and your family.

You need to stop shooting yourself in the FACE, not in the foot, in the FACE.

Line up your values with your mouth and how you spend your time and your money.

Put your money where your values are.

Everything is connected to money because it’s the medium in which we trade goods and services on.

This is how we transform entitled and corrupt business, government, people, and cultures into value driven business, government, people, and cultures.

This is how we can end poverty, starvation, factory farming, the sex trade, human trafficking, corruption in all levels of government and business, and it’s also how we restore HONOR and fairness to every working person who produces something.

Something more to “Chew On”..

When you think about it, as a whole culture we are voting for every problem we have with government, corporations, PhRMA, our food supply etc.

When more people start to put their money where their values are you will start to see banks, corporations, PhRMA etc reflect it with how they change their behavior, too.

When you think about it, they are only doing what we are voting for by the decisions we make about money.

We are corrupt = they are corrupt.

We clean up our own home first = they clean up theirs too or they go out of business.

We routinely vote for Cancer, Chronic disease, Chronic Debt, Corporate Greed, Corrupt Government, entitlement Banking, the lifestyle Death of our kids…

WE vote for all kinds of needless SICK things that are happening because of Our Relationship with Money and the decisions and beliefs we have about Money.

One final thought to inspire you to change your relationship with Money..

Ego says, “I have what I need I don’t need to make more money”.

Humility says, “I NEED to make millions more than what I need because 1 billion kids in the world are starving to death and they need me to put my stupid ego aside to help out.”

Because the Great and Wise Yoda Said it, so it must be true!  People who try to cause harm by taking away from us actually do us some really big favors but most people don’t see the “favors” they only see the loss and feel frustrated.

Hear me out..

This is a VERY human emotion to feel and operate from because we don’t want to lose anything.  We want to gain!  Right?  The fear of loss actually gets in the way our gains. We inhibit ourselves BIG TIME when we operate from a fear of loss.  It sends us down a path to the dark side. We FEEL it!  A fear of loss is a ceiling we place over both our personal and professional lives.

So what are these “favors” we are not seeing? What is the solution so we can arrive at our destiny without this massive hindrance getting in our way?  The solution to liberating yourself from your Self Imposed prison sentence actually has Everything to do with something that no one else on planet earth is better at than you, regardless of your past and present.

Being Broke and even homeless is a blessing depending on what you do with it. HEAR ME OUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THIS BLOG..

The gift of life is in the struggle you’re in. Every challenge is gifted to you by the powers that be to use them to get what you need so you can get what you want. Most people miss the gift in the challenge because they won’t look beyond what the eyes can see.  The powers that be don’t ask if you like them, the powers that be ask you to — USE THEM.

Professional investors don’t find what works so they can rest there.  Professional investors are constantly adapting to external market conditions they have no control over so they can do well when the market is down, up, or sideways.  Most people only know how to do well when the market is up because they never put themselves through the PROCESS to become professional investors.

In life you can professionally invest how you spend your time by re positioning yourself as external forces change.  This kind of ADAPTATION is the ONLY survivable skill available to you, so, it makes sense to focus on developing yourself to be able to adapt as often as external forces you have no control over change.  This way, every time an external force you have no control over changes you pick up more skill and become even more unstoppable and recession proof.  Most people find a bed to rest on. That may work for five minutes but as soon as external forces change, those people find themselves totally broke again and without any skills relevant to the new market conditions because they never put themselves through the PROCESS of becoming professional investors of their time or money. This is true for EVERYTHING from personal life to professional life to spiritual life to relationships with all people in your life past present and future as well as the size of your bank account.

Most people who are comfortable never do anything great because they were never squeezed and not enlightened or selfless enough to want to amount to anything more than what they can do for themselves.  Most of the worlds greatest most inspiring innovators who contribute to the world in which we live come from deep running childhood wounds and financial poverty. Life squeezed them and the BEST of them came out which the world benefited from. When you start from broke, financially or otherwise, you have to get really creative and develop a skill set that is totally recession proof that you can bring with you for the rest of your life even as market conditions change so that you are always relevant and significant. You will NEVER starve even during a great depression. Your company could blow up and you’ll build another that goes from zero to six figures in six months because you already did that so you already know how and nothing can take those skills away from you!  These adaptable skills are your security, your insurance, your ability to build relationships with people and inspire them, these adaptable skills are EVERYTHING.  Sadly they are the skills least sought after. Most people are seeking skills that are not recession proof, do not change with market conditions, and provide ZERO security, insurance, or inspiration. Most people would rather jump ship than get better. Jumping ship makes you worse, not the same, and certainly not better.  Jumping ship is foolish because now you are even more vulnerable for the next challenge that you will have even less of a clue on how to overcome.  Find out what 98% of the population is doing and do the complete opposite.

See the image to the left? This comes from a lady I’m working with who has no money whatsoever. She wrote down on a piece of paper her plan for raising money from no money. She wrote on another smaller piece of paper, the paper you see to the left, a break down of how many days it would take her to come up with enough money to begin putting money to work for her instead of only working for money so she can once and for all solve the problem of having no money in a way that the problem no longer keeps popping back up in her life again. I’m told by other people I’m a pretty cool guy because I’m a guy who is financially free and independent who will actually help people who literally have zero dollars in their bank account. Apparently there are some financial “gurus” who won’t give anyone the time of day unless they already have piles of money. I don’t know about all of that. I’ll help anyone who deserves my time.  I may not require a person to have any money to be worth while for me to spend my time with but I do require they are going to go to work, they are hungry, and they are teachable.   Sadly most people are too ego centric to be any of those qualities and therefore they remain stuck.

The Only industry that makes any sense to start in if you’re broke, almost broke, have no business skills, is the home based business industry because their is far more leverage in this industry than any other.  This industry creates more rags to riches stories and sees more people make Major Breakthroughs financially, spiritually, emotionally, physically, and every other way, than any other industry that exists.  I see it every day in other people.  For me personally it was my starting place when I was broke, no job, no income, almost Homeless, physically weak, emotionally unstable, zero business skills, average C and D student, and no time to do anything outside of what was already sucking up my time.  This was the Only industry that I Could have gotten started in if I wanted to do something Great with my life starting from Totally Broke. Now I’m financially free, independent, retired from the job Racket for life, providing clean quality affordable housing for low to mid income families, starting my own non profit projects to feed starving kids and take care of orphans, all funded 100% by my home business and I’m showing others how to do it too.  Does any of this resonate with you?  Does your heart BLEED to be more and give back more? I cannot make any promises that I will work with you because I do turn people away including people who already have money.

If you are willing to go to work, you’re hungry, and your teachable, watch the video below with your undivided attention for the full fourteen minutes and connect with me over Private Message on Facebook beginning with your primary motivation to private message me.

By the way.. Change this ONE THING and you can have more to give and be generous by in Multiplication tables ~ http://youtu.be/Vuj_07zwMBM You might also enjoy my 31 Ways to Raise Money Now.

I don’t have a job anymore and I never will again.  I get paid so much more money just by living my life by my own design as a FREE and joyously happy human being.  So can you if your brain isn’t shut down and closed from an experience in your past that you’ve used to project and rob you of your future and your families future.  You have no idea what it means to be yourself, to enhance the BEST inside of you, and to be able to use who you authentically are to get out of the Job Racket and inspire others around you who feel trapped, too.  I LOVE Freedom but I HATE the way most people try to obtain their freedom by being someone who they are not and turning everyone else off around them.   When you learn to LIVE authentically in the way I’m going to talk about you’ll be surprised at how you really don’t ever think about money because you’ll have more than enough to do all you wanna do, give all you wanna be, have as much time as you wanna have for whatever is most important to you etc.  It’s when you don’t have enough money a person tends to think about money and the problems it’s causing by not having enough of it.

So this year I finally found my Birth Family and connected with them!!  I’ve always known that I as adopted because I have the BEST adoptive parents one could ever dream for.  They were always open, honest, and even encouraged me to keep looking for where I came from.  Finally after 35 years and 10 months of living, I found them!  And get this, we all want to build relationships with each other.  How amazing is that?  It’s LIFE CHANGING.  And now I have my FREEDOM to fly back and forth between Wisconsin and Colorado as often as I wish to visit, build those relationships, enjoy life, share life, be part of each others life.. If I still had a job I would not be as free to do this. Not even close.  You know exactly what I’m talking about.  You don’t have to be adopted to know what I’m talking about because you have your own pains, wants, needs, desires, and struggles.  Lack of freedom is a MAJOR hindrance and you know it personally.

Would it be cool if you got to do all you wanna do, be as free as you wanna be, spend more time with people you wanna spend more time with? Does your heart bleed to give back more if only you had more to give? What would all of this feel like to be able to design the life of your dreams and then LIVE it?  Would you share your success over your pains with others to give them inspiration to no longer feel trapped, too?  How would that make you feel if by you creating your own success you started receiving “thank you” letters from people for inspiring them to change their lives?  What would that do for your sense of purpose and relevance during your very limited time on this earth?

Life was not like this for me a few years ago.  I was broke, no job, no opportunity that I could see, I was almost homeless, I had no time.  I couldn’t just hop on a plane to visit with and build a relationship with my new found birth family. I overcame so that I could enjoy these freedoms. Now I share my lifestyle that I get to design with you to inspire you, too. I had pains and struggles I had to overcome.  My over coming them, and sharing them with you in an honest way, inspires who I’m suppose to inspire.  I know that if I had been selfish and not created my own success I would not have been able to inspire who I’m suppose to inspire.  Success is the most selfless thing you can create in your life. Self neglect is selfish especially when self neglect is falsely identified as a personal sacrifice to help someone else.  Selfless success actually rewards you and others around you in synergy.  Let this, or some other story, inspire you so the WAVE of inspiration can continue to move and inspire people to get results that feed the human spirit.  When the human spirit is fed, there is no greater force in the universe. This is when humans can accomplish the most amazing things no matter what.

This year, not even one year into our finding each other, my birth mother and I decided to take a dream trip to San Diego, the place where she gave birth to me with the purpose of adopting me out.    See the picture on the left?  That’s my Birth Mother and I standing in front of the hospital where she gave birth to me 36 1/2 years ago.  This time was very different, we left together =)  Our trip started with her flying out to my family in Wisconsin to meet them for the first time.  POWERFUL!  After a few days of visiting here in Wisconsin we hop on a plane to together to San Diego for a few days and rent a car to have an adventure up the pacific coast HWY for a few more days up to West Hollywood.  Just 10 months ago I would NEVER have imagined this would happen.  When I turned 30 I can remember thinking it’s no longer likely I will ever find my birth family. Now that we’ve found each other we get to enjoy life together.

My goal with this blog is to inspire you to do whatever you have to, to obtain your freedom.  It takes money, time, health, and a mindset.  The mindset is the most difficult of them all.  Once you have the mindset then the money, time, and health aspects become so simple.

Most of you, so far, can’t see beyond where you’re at right now.  You can’t look beyond the Zeros in your bank statement. You can’t look beyond the chronic health conditions you have.  You can’t look beyond how little free time you have.  You refuse to look beyond what the eyes can see.  You justify where you’re at by “tellin how it is” and therefore you remain stuck. It’s a nasty circular pattern you’ve allowed yourself to be in for years and years and sometimes you even fight hard to defend what’s kept you stuck. It’s time you SMASH that circular pattern you’ve been justifying all these years.  Isn’t it?

What are you doing to develop yourself and what are you doing to develop other people?  These two questions and answers will determine your success in your personal and professional life.  I heard John C Maxwell say this at a Seminar I attended in Las Vegas.

I’ve also heard Dani Johnson dismiss “Self Help” as a selfish kind of development because the “Self” part of “Self Help” is Ego Centric.

They are both absolutely right.  I personally didn’t have all my money problems of having too little of it totally disappear til I helped enough other people solve money problems.  I didn’t boost my confidence til I began boosting other peoples confidence simply by being a genuine encourager, supporter, and complimenter whenever possible.  I didn’t start living on gratitude til I began giving gratitude to other people.

I witness the same in other people all the time.  I regularly see people on the other side of the fence making the mistake of, “How can I be happy?” and then never really finding happiness.  I regularly see people doing good by asking, “How can I be of service to others?” and then organically becoming Joyously Happy.

The great designer hard wired us this way to encourage us to work together and help each other out.  So learn to cooperate with the way we are wired as human beings. Sew good seed in other people every day.  Encourage, support, speak truth even if it hurts but with the aim of helping, be authentic, be loving, and be GENUINE when we do these things NOT patronizing or manipulating.  Every successful person knows the natural laws of sewing and reaping, and reaping and sewing. So be careful of what you sew you will reap a whirlwind of it.  No one gets more manipulated than the manipulator.  And no one gets help like the helper.

How does it feel to be consistent in your daily ritual only to consistently get little to no results, too?  “But Tom, I’ve just gotta stay consistent and it will eventually work!”.

I’m tellin ya, only being consistent is going to create lots of stress in a fruitless effort.  You can only take so much consistency with no results til you either make a major breakthrough, or, quit.

Consistency is enormously important but it’s only half right.  To say you only need to be consistent without addressing the other half that makes it all work is ridiculous because it’s a set up for stress without results.  The other half that makes being consistent work, and take all the stress away as your tree finally bears sweet fruit, is in my short video.  Check it out:

A fancy logo and graphically designed website by itself is not going to increase your influence or the effectiveness of your brand to mobilize anyone.

Branding is the position you are battling for in the mind of your visitors and others around you.  Are you battling for a favorable position in the wimpy persons mind, or are you battling for a favorable position in the STRONG persons mind?  How about for the person who is carrying on like a wimp but deep down there is a person of immense strength that they themselves aren’t even aware exists?  Are you batting for the wimpy or the STRONG in someone?  How you position yourself in the minds of others is what you will attract to you.  If you’re attracting wimps, ask yourself, “What am I doing to attract wimps?”

If you are trying to get something for nothing, you kind of ask for the problems you get. Ask to pay fair price for everything including developing yourself into a professional brand who is authentic and attracts who you desire to have more of in your life.

I would encourage you to get better instead of looking for an easier way.   When you let someone come into your life, or your deal, or whatever you’re doing, under false pretense of “easy, don’t have to challenge yourself or step out of your comfort zone etc”,  you are letting them set you up for someone to blame when it doesn’t work out for them.  Don’t buy someones “blame pill”.  Go through the worthwhile scenario of Branding the Authentic YOU and FEEL the stress in your life dramatically reduce as the peace  you FEEL goes up as you attract more of who and what you desire into your life.  Watch the videos below..

Let me explain.. I’ve been wrapping my mind around what has happened the past two weeks and still have more to go. It was MAGICAL thanks to the other people in my life I’ve chosen to surround myself with.

First, thank you to Sian Lindemann for step up and playing big instead of small. You started something that had an unbelievable chain reaction that will live forever. Can’t wait to do more this is just the beginning.

Andrea Noble you also played BIG instead of small. I merely mentioned “ok all our flights have been cancelled sooooooooo feel like driving to saint augusting FL from wisconsin, and through a blizzard that happens to be freaking out the state of georgia? You jumped up and said YES! This of course was right after you enrolled yourself into a home business that most people won’t do which lead to you retiring from your Job just a few months later. AMAZING. You are incredible to travel with. You’re an incredible friend, period. This isn’t just a business it’s so much MORe and so much BIGGER than a business or a single person. These connections we are making makes is richer than the ridiculous large sums of money is making is richer.

Denise Jolly, Ricky Fleischman, and puppies, thank you for spending so much time with us for a full week! You made us feel welcomed, cozy, and even emotional in a good way. The only thing more awesome than the location you live is YOU personally. Saint augustine FL is a beautiful tropical oasis, but, I can honestly say its you who brings me back there more than the climate and historic city. Love you both. Can’t wait to see you again!!!!

Melissa Starr and family.. You’ve always been one of my best friends. I have no doubt you’ll always be one of my best friends. New Orleans, biloxi, shaggys, Gulfport, the climate you live, all just icing on an already awesome cake that doesn’t even need any icing in the first place. Love you all. I’m so glad we’ve connected on this earth, however it happened, and have blossomed a beautiful meaningful friendship out of it.

This is a very public post and very much on purpose. Friends, there is no way I would have been able to turn, very last minute, what was originally going to be a three day trip into a magical two week trip with people that I love and care about in beautiful locations of the country during this time of year if I had a job building someone elses dream. People have many GREAT ideas and reasons for wanting to be self employed in a team that covers for one another. But, honestly, you still have No Clue whatsoever what it means to be self employed in a way that brings you FREEDOM until stuff like this (that you cannot predict) happens. I cannot imagine running this by a gatekeeper (an employer) to do this, and change things up and extend my trip as I have. There is no freedom (regardless if you love or hate your job) if you have no passive residual income from an asset that you own that covers all of your expenses. I’m feeling really emotional right now because of all the people I’m bringing with me, and coming to realize more and more with every adventure what this means to me and so many other people. Read this and let it inspire you friends. You were meant for more. Play bigger than you have up to this point. Draw a line in the sand and play big beginning today you’ve got a Dream to build, don’t you?

Draw a line in the sand..

I’ve found that the more time we keep trading for money (a JOB) the less we have and the further in debt we go along with the stress and other problems that stem from that logistical nightmare.

The problem with trading time for money is if you want to keep affording your cost of living you constantly have to keep giving up more and more time without any end, unless, you change your VALUES.  Then you come to a new BEAUTIFUL beginning called FREEDOM driven by a new set of VALUES.

Another problem with trading time for money is eventually you come to a point where you cannot handle anything else on your plate, relationships suffer, more stress, you lose sleep, health problems creep in, you lose more via taxation to the government, you can’t afford to be more generous as you could have been, and even as bad as that is you could lose it all at any time because you don’t own your job or have any control over the value of the asset. We are seeing that a LOT today with record high unemployment and insulting wages for jobs that use to pay well.

NO ONE has to live that way. If you’re already living it, you don’t have to keep living that way. It’s just a question of changing your values from the false sense of security at a job to FREEDOM which is REAL security. Freedom means you can afford your living and luxury expenses whether you work, or if you take a vacation, or if you do some other interesting projects that pay absolutely nothing but feed the starving or whatever cause that bleeds true to your heart.  Freedom is being able to afford to be more generous driven by pure HEART to do whatever it takes to become a FREE human being no longer trading time for money. Now you can spend your time on whatever you deem most important to you rather than at the demands of someone else who can take away your ability to afford your living expenses at any time and without any warning.

I take a lot of vacations these days and involve myself in projects that don’t pay anything, but, provide funds for charities to feed starving people. I can afford to be free, secure, and generous.  So can you if you change your values from the false sense of security of a job to FREEDOM.

HOME BUSINESS

People don’t join a home business because they are passionate about home business. Ancient wisdom says to find satisfaction in what you’re doing. People join a home business because they HATE the thought of not having their freedom more than they hate anything else. And then later they come to LOVE the home business industry because there is nothing else as efficient to gain personal freedom.

Change this ONE THING and you can change EVERYTHING:

Beautiful Natural Flower Arrangement in the Desert Outside of Las Vegas, NV

Do you feel you learn more about someone when you ask them questions for connecting with them or when you make statements about them?

Try this out..

Let this be a new seed you allow to be sewn into your brain to take strong root and grow.  If you’re humble you’ll find that you are commonly guilty of judging others, making statements about them based on what you see or hear, and because you’re now consciously aware you can catch yourself each time BEFORE you do it, make fewer statements, judge less, LOVE more, and go for understanding and empathy rather than statements and judgement.

The last thing the people you are judging needs is for someone else to judge them. The last thing YOU need is to be judged. Someone judged you and now you judge others, too. Someone has to break the cycle and begin a new cycle. Why not let it be you?  Ya know what?  As a human being you have this incredible gift of being able to consciously reject or accept each word people speak over you.  Words are seeds.  Each seed has potential to grow an entire Orchard.  Be Very Careful of each seed that you either accept or reject.  You know you have this gift of discernment.  Sometimes you just need to be reminded how to use your gifts again.

This blog entry I wrote I was inspired to write by someone who judged me for my desire to make lots and lots of money. It didn’t feel good to be judged. Instead of lashing back, which would have been the easy and lazy thing to do, I went for the understanding and connection; BREAKING the cycle of the person who was judged by someone else and now judging me for my desire to make lots and lots of money.

When someone is being lazy they make statements and judgements about my desire to make lots and lots of money.  When someone is not lazy, but truly interested in understanding, they can ask questions going for that understanding.   They can ask me, “Why?  What’s behind your desire to make lots and lots of money Tom?”  That wonderful non judgmental question gives me the PRIVILEGE to express myself to an open mind going for understanding.

If you’re mind is open allow me the privilege.. 

There are a Billion people in the world, mostly kids, starving to death.  There is enough food and resources in the world so that not another person needs to go without basic nourishment to support life.  It takes lots and lots of money to make the dream of ending global starvation a reality.  Behind that money is HEART.  Not enough people in the world care about this problem.  There is not enough collective hearts, so there is not enough money to make sure everyone has this basic necessity for life.

There exists natural cures for all cancers of all stages.  Most people are not even aware these natural cures exist and just continue to go to the medical community who seem to create more EXPENSIVE problems than they solve.  It takes lots of money to raise awareness against a big pharmaceutical industry that profits half a trillion dollars per year.  I believe if more people are aware of and believe in natural cures for cancer then no one else will suffer and die from cancer ever again.  Behind the money needed to make this beautiful dream a beautiful reality is lots of HEART.  Too many people, today, are apathetic.  But we are changing that one person at a time.  Places like Gerson exist who are actually curing people of all cancers, from all stages, and other chronic diseases, with 100% natural therapies and most people still have never heard of them.  That’s inexcusable.

There are tens of MILLIONS of families, in the United States alone, struggling to find Quality Clean Affordable housing to live and raise their children in.  This takes lots of money, specifically lots of compounding accumulative Passive Cash Flow, to solve this problem.

The list goes on of the enormous problems that exist that Heart and Money can solve, but, these are the main ones I chose to focus myself on.  The problem, in my personal opinion, is too many people living in democracies like the United States seem to be “content” making only enough money to take care of themselves while Billions of people in the world are either starving to death, homeless, have a preventable and reversible disease like cancer, or a combination of those things.  In my opinion, to only make enough for yourself while a billion people, mostly children, are starving to death is criminally insanely selfish.  I know your heart bleeds to do more.  It’s not that YOU personally are a criminally insanely selfish person.  Maybe you’ve just never looked at money like that before.  I don’t know what’s going on inside of your head.  I don’t know you so this is not at all to judge you or make statements about you.  I would like to share with you that if you live in a nation of opportunity, like the United States, you can make more than you need for yourself, take only what you need for yourself and the security of your family, and make million and billions more to attach yourself to a cause that bleeds true to your heart to start solving those enormous problems for countless other people.  Wouldn’t that be beyond Amazing?

You are behind the cash-flow that flows from your pockets to the lobbyists who pay for congress to write the laws in their favor and then congress blows YOUR MONEY on Golf lessons and HOOKERS or whatever is is they blow YOUR MONEY on.. *Laugh*

We literally exercise our power to change laws in OUR FAVOR when we flow our cash differently out of our pockets. Easy as that.

We can create a peaceful revolution when more people spend their time and their money differently. Big business and big government always follows the money.

Currently what we are telling big industry and big government through how we spend our time and money is we like being spied on, we like feeding our families GMO contaminated food, we like illegal search and seizure, we like crushing debt, WE LOVE POVERTY, we love greed and neediness, and more than anything we love losing our independence relying on government to take care of us.

Money speaks louder than what we talk about. Principals are far easier to fight for than to live up to.

What are you telling big Industry and government with how you spend your time and money? Is it in alignment with your mouth?

I have Two Fascinating Questions for you.  I don’t ask these two questions to insult anyones values.  I ask them to cause a shift in how you look at yourself and your place in the world of Relationships, Money, Health, Freedom, and to give you a sense of EMPOWERMENT if you wish to TRANSFORM yourself in ALL of these areas of Relationships, Money, Health, and Freedom.

1. Which do you want to TRANSFORM yourself into?

A.) Strong Body at the expense of your mind (Poor)

B.) Strong Mind at the expense of your body (Poor)

C.) Half and Half (average / middle / uninspiring / mediocre / works hard, never gets ahead, bad at solving problems and struggles with most things)

D.) Strong Mind and Strong Body (RICH / Inspiring / Generous / Excellent at solving problems)

2. Which do you want to TRANSFORM yourself into?

A.) Financial Freedom at the expense of your family and friends (Poor)

B.) Family and friends at the expense of your Financial Freedom (Poor)

C.) Half a$$ed everything (Middle Class / Average / Mediocre / Uninspiring / Works hard, struggles the most, pays the Bulk of the taxes because they provide no jobs, housing, energy, or commodities)

D.) Financial Freedom AND the Healthiest Relationships (Truly RICH / Generous / Inspiring / the BEST problem solvers / Works hard but not for money and pays the least in taxes because they provide jobs, housing, energy, and or commodities)

Good and Bad people exist in all poor middle and rich classes that’s not the point of this.

The poor are so poor all they have is money and no healthy relationships and others are so poor all the have are healthy relationships but no freedom.

The middle class believe they can have Freedom or healthy relationships but not both and that is their own belief system that keeps them fronting the brunt of a massive 18 trillion dollar debt burden while they work hard, lose the most, struggle with most things, and never get ahead.  Many of the middle class today are being squeezed out and joining the poor.   The squeeze stems from the beliefs they have that they cling to and fight hard to protect.  They are motivated by what they perceive as safety and security. The reality is the middle class are not grounded in reality and that is why they are the riskiest most unsecured segment of the population.

The Truly Rich believe they can have it all and do.  Money, Healthy relationships, time, their health, and their FREEDOM.  They are the most generous because they produce the affordable housing, jobs, energy, and commodities everyone uses to enhance their own lives.  Their biggest critics are the middle class who accuse the truly rich of being greedy.  This criticism comes from people who provide little to no housing, jobs, energy, food, or other commodities.  The truly Rich are motivated by Freedom not safety and security, which in reality, is the safest most secure place to be because the truly rich have control variables over both their cash flow and income that they pay themselves with.  The middle class have zero control variables over their income and little to no cash flow.  Their employer owns their income and their job.  There are no control variables in that and zero control is high risk.  The middle Class and Poor are enslaved to money, jobs, lenders, social programs, and taxes.  The Truly Rich are Free which means they can spend their time and focus on the most important things.

You live in a country where you can TRANSFORM yourself to transition to where ever you want to be and it Does Not Matter what your starting place is.  But this only works if this is your perception because your perception is your reality.  To TRANSFORM yourself you have to change your Reality from a small poor reality to an expanded rich reality, then the pathways open FOR you..

You can Build amazing relationships or you can destroy relationships.  You can build wealth or you can destroy wealth. You can be average or you can be Great.  You can develop yourself or you can tear down yourself.  Billions of people in the world would first have to over throw their government in a bloody war before they could have many of those options that we have.  We’ve inherited the fruits of our own revolutionary war to be free from a tyrant king July 4th 1776.  We are lucky to inherit our country.   Sadly many of us replaced the oppression of a tyrant king with the oppression of a tyrant mind set.

In capitalism you can turn ZERO dollars into a little bit of dollars and then you can turn a little bit of dollars into a lot of dollars and Billions of dollars if you’re faithful with it.  If you’re faithful with the gifts and talents you’ve been given you don’t need money to make money. Capitalism makes it possible for the homeless, the destitute, the high school drop outs, and anyone with a bad past to become Wealthier, Healthier, and Happier than those with the most impressive IVY League Education and Top 1% impressive resumes.   In fact, those Ivy League Academic Geniuses with an impressive background almost always end up working for C students and high school drop outs.

Want to TRANSFORM yourself so you can transition to where you really want to be?  Do you REALLY?    What are you doing to Develop yourself?  What are you doing to Develope yourself so you can Develop other people and be generous, too?  You can start today.  Not Tomorrow.  Tomorrow is for the poor and the middle class.  Today is Rich and it’s happening right now.  It’s a gift that’s why they call it, “the present”.  Procrastination is the cornerstone of ALL poverties.  Be Rich in TODAY.  Take a step no matter how small.  Getting started is Under rated.  Speed is Over rated.

My Next Thirty Days to Profit Group is beginning soon.  Privately contact with me if you would like to explore 30 Days to making a Profit as an option in getting started with your personal Transformation to make the transition of where you want to be.   I highly recommend transitioning to the truly rich who are Generous, works hard but not for money, who inspire, who are obsessed with personal growth and solving problems, who pay the least in taxes, who don’t sacrifice their personal life because having it all is what we are supposed to work toward and that is Rich.

Is the USA, like other countries around the world, moving closer to being bankrupt because 98% of the populations needs the government to take care of them medically and financially? What cultivated this kind of neediness and dependency in such a large lopsided segment of the population?

I can’t help but wonder if Money were taught in schools would poverty, and people starving to death, be problems all but wiped out?

I made a YouTube Video showing how changing just one thing can be enough to solve this huge problem: http://youtu.be/Vuj_07zwMBM

If money were being taught in our schools how would that help to solve some of our most crippling problems we have today?

One over simplified short answer could be because most people do not want to be poor. So if they taught money in schools they’d graduate with the skills needed to not be poor. And the ones motivated by giving would now know how to give the most.  Today most  kids attending our schools grow up to be poor and needy even if they straight A students.  Why are there more straight A students who are poor and needy after they graduate school than ever before in our history?  Getting As and Bs prepares students for the real world, right?  Maybe 30 plus years ago it did but not anymore.  Our schools have not kept current.  A student might learn a trade which might have paid great a long time ago, but, they are not learning about money which is more important than ever to learn if you want a to thrive in todays economy.  To not teach it, regardless of the major, is to not prepare for the real world of today, period.

Students graduate thinking getting a high paying job and building a big savings account is “money smart” all the while those things wipe them out from taxes and inflation.  Most people believe their house is an asset when it’s a liability, they believe mutual funds and IRA accounts have tax advantages when they suffer the absolute worst losses due to taxes etc…  Confusing liabilities for assets and not having a basic understanding of taxes is a recipe to be poor and that is what’s happening.  The only reason this happens, and that presidents can get away with the promises they make, is because they do not teach money in schools.

What does learning about money do for students who are born into a poor family?

Learning about money can teach someone not to be poor anymore if they don’t want to be poor anymore.  Hear me out.. Some people born into poor get out while others stay there.  That’s not to judge anyone there are very good people in all financial classes.  Where one starts does not have anything to do with where one ends.  Faithfulness in what you’ve already got has everything to do with where you end.  Rich people end poor just as poor people end rich.  Without being taught about money people who start rich often end poor and people who start poor stay poor.  Without being taught money people confuse liabilities for assets which wipes them out, they elect presidents who make promises they can’t possibly deliver on, their biggest expense will be taxes (particularly the middle class on taxes the poor don’t feel this nearly as much), and much of their choices will be oppressed and dictated by money.

That’s just the tip of the ice berg of the consequences of not knowing about money.  Not knowing about money hurts both you personally and our country as a whole because it runs on money, or more accurately, currency.

The fact that the of the evil known as poverty is out of control is one of the Big reasons why learning about money is so crucially important. When a poor person learns about money they will figure out how to cross over from poor to rich. To not teach poor people about money is cruel. I personally am living it. I didn’t know I could turn zero dollars into a little bit of money, and then turn a little bit of money into a lot of money until I Learned about money. We are taught the inexcusable lie, “You need money to make money”.  How is one supposed to know this is a LIE of one does not know about money?  Knowing money is crucial to your success it is not enough to be an expert at your trade without any knowledge of money and have a safe secure future.

I had no idea that I could actually use Taxes and Debt to get ahead. I always thought taxes and debt took money out of peoples pockets. For most people that is true but that is because they are not financially educated so they don’t know any better.   Without financial education we believe these things. When I learned about money I was no longer poor. Our schools should be teaching money.  It’s a shame they aren’t because it lead to our most crippling problems in our country and in most peoples lives.

It’s the love of money that is the root of all evil, not the money without the love of it.
I don’t study money, personally, because I love money. I study money because I love people and solving problems. Without knowing money, whether we like it or not, we can’t solve our most crippling problems both personally and globally.

What if you just don’t have the money to start funding your dreams? What if you’re flat broke and it just isn’t there?? What if you know people like this and you want to help them but you don’t know how and you’re sick of feeling helpless??? Here are just three of countless examples of overcoming this seemingly crippling scenario. See if this sparks some ideas for yourself or people you refer here:

1. Team Mate Lindsay Matway personally sold her clothes on eBay to be able to raise the money to invest into herself. She was half million dollars in debt when she did that. Three years later she has paid off ALL debt and averaging a new income of $22K per WEEK starting from NOTHING. She is also a mother and a wife. She was already a mother when she made this decision so that as a BIG reason WHY she did this.

2. Team Mate Scottie sold his XBOX and then used that money to buy and RESELL video game equipment on Craigslist to come up with his enrollment costs into our home based business. Today Scottie is financially free and independent. He is supporting his family on an income of his own personal resources from this business AND he gets to spend MORE TIME with his family which is the opposite of most business owners.

3. I personally was broke and almost homeless. I found people to pay me ten bucks an hour to do medial yard work and I gave guitar lessons privately out of my students houses for sums of money to cover my initial investment costs. I also cut out ALL luxury spending for the time being. A couple years after almost being homeless I bought a house in CASH, and a few months BEFORE that I declared my own financial freedom, independence, and SECURITY. I called off the depressing job search Forever.

You just DECIDE and then find/make a way where there is seemingly no way. Then you’ll do it. Then you can use my story as well as YOUR STORY to help people who are struggling to do better than Broke.

I have a few more ideas in a blog post I made a while back that may help you to flex more creative muscle in your scenario: https://tombirkenmeyer.com/personal-development/grow-from-where-youve-been-planted/

If you’d like to know what my Team Mates and I are doing here in our home businesses then connect with me on facebook. If I can help, I’ll help.

Most of the time we miss something hugely important.

You can put money into something that puts more money in your pocket and begins to solve that money problem. Otherwise money can make a slave out of an individual and being enslaved to money just leads to stress, LOTS of stress.

For example, I have people putting $129 monthly into a dense nutrition shake that is causing them to save upwards of a thousand dollars per month in groceries saved, other supplements saved, and health care related costs saved. They have hundreds of dollars more in their pockets per month and on top of that the health benefits of the investment they made into themselves.

Most people, faced with opportunity, don’t ask questions to make those discoveries. They live NEEDLESSLY under constant pressure and stress.

Ask yourself if you’re doing that?

When you find yourself doing that, stop for a moment, stop making statements, and ask some questions with an open mind and a mental intention on finding solutions. Otherwise solutions will be planted right in front of you and you will TOTALLY miss them.

But, that is a price many people are not willing to pay!

To be yourself is an incredibly lonely thing because you are the only one that there is. In order to find out who you are you will have to feel alone and do your own thing in isolation. The sadness of isolation is going to help you be who you are supposed to be. It’s just something you’ve got to go through to become your true authentic self.

You want to be cool bad ass future you; you have to go through the loneliness of isolation today.

As weird and awful as it may seem to be yourself some of the time, it will always reward you. You will know that the people who love you will love you for you and not for whom they think you are or who you’re pretending to be.

I forbade the words “I can’t afford it”. Instead I require from myself and others who want my time to ask, “How can I afford it?” – Tom Birkenmeyer

The words, “I can’t afford it,” shuts down your mind to possibilities—you don’t have to think. It is a poor and lazy mindset. The words, “How can I afford it,” open up your mind, forcing you to think and search for answers. It is a rich and creative mindset.

Most important, asking, “How can I afford it,” releases the potential of your human spirit to battle with the lazy mindset. Most people think using the words, “We can’t afford it,” teaches them to battle greed, but really it teaches kids to find excuses, which leads to laziness. – Robert Kiyosaki

I don’t mean to put ANYONE down, but, another way of living which strengthens the human spirit is to Dream very BIG and figure out how to fund it so you’re being RESPONSIBLE about it.

MOST PEOPLE SHRINKS THEIR DREAMS TO BE JUST A LITTLE BIGGER THAN THEIR INCOME SO THEY DON’T DIE. Say What?!

Living below your means traps the human spirit at just below THE glass ceiling you’ve artificially placed over your means. Having the courage to Dream BIG DREAMS and then asking “how can I afford that” INSTEAD OF “I can’t afford that” gives LIFE to your human spirit so you can SHATTER that flippin glass ceiling you’ve artificially placed over your dreams.

Living above your means isn’t about living irresponsibly, its about responsibly figuring out how to fund it. It gives way to a creative RICH mind set that fights against a lazy mind set that settles and no longer searches for answers.

I made a graphical video to demonstrate one thing to change that can any dream you can dream no matter how large..

I can tell you from my own experience I began saving lots of money on food, and getting better quality food so that I feel better day to day, when I began to buy mostly plant based whole foods and making my meals from scratch, and replacing at least one meal a day with Shakeology.  My monthly savings is easily between $$250 and $350 per month and I feel better because I’m eating better.  I grabbed the following from funny.gg.  This is very easy information to digest and implement in our daily lives.  Enjoy!!
