Why You Should Never Use Coupons Or
Shop At Wal-Mart If You Want To Get Rich…
I’ve been debating whether or not to write this email for about two
weeks now because I know that quite a few people will wrongly be
offended by it, and that my inbox will be flooded by derogatory
responses.
Then my new issue of Perry Marshall‘s Newsletter arrived in my mail
box, and I changed my mind…
Here’s the introduction to his newsletter:
“You know what’s wrong with the internet?
Smart people and stupid people get equal airtime. And since stupid
people tend to shout longer and louder than people who have acquired
wisdom and judgment, ignorance usually prevails.
Stupid people proudly step forward and identify themselves. They
self-select. As soon as this newsletter issue hits the streets, people
who are angry about this newsletter and this irrelevant first section
which “obviously has nothing to do with marketing will send nasty
emails and cancel their membership. This naturally weeds the stupid
people out of my Renaissance Club.” – Perry Marshall.
Perry’s point is that you should never stifle the growth of the wise
minority for fear of loud reprisal by the ignorant majority. With that
said, here is a very basic, very simple message on the surface that
will contain deeper meaning for those who get it…
________________________________
I hate shopping at Wal-Mart . It makes me sick to my stomach, but the
important part is why… (And if you’re going to read this, you need
to read the entire page).
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a burning desire to achieve
above average financial prosperity… To have the million dollar home
on the lake, the cars, and the ability to do anything, or buy anything
I want. 100%, pure freedom.
But it’s not just about material goods. Money gives you the freedom,
options, and power to have a large and positive impact on society
through charity, education, and reform.
Because I have such strong feelings and emotions attached to the
desire to achieve wealth and success, I have equally strong feelings
of repulsion for poverty and weakness.
Most wealthy and successful people share this repulsion.
Why?
Because they are consciously aware (unlike the majority of society),
that thoughts, ideas, and attitudes are real things, and that they are
contagious.
You will adopt the ideas, beliefs, and mindset of the people you spend
the most time with (including the people found on TV, in books, or on
tape), which will lead you to make similar decisions, which will lead
you to assume a similar life and lifestyle.
Rich people know this, and they know that a person’s mindset is fluid.
It’s always changing with the ideas and interactions it comes into
contact with on a daily basis.
This is why rich people protect themselves from everything associated
with struggle and poverty.
Ever wonder why they live together in walled communities closed off
from the rest of society with massive gates? Ever wonder why they shop
at expensive boutiques, fly first-class, stay at $500/night hotels?
Ever wonder why most of them belong to “members only” country clubs?
Is it because they want to enjoy the finer things in life? Well sure.
But that’s not the only reason.
They want to protect their minds from the thoughts of  poverty and
struggle that are held by the rest of common society because they know
that all thoughts are contagious, and they have a burning desire to
live un-common lives.
The rich get richer because they only invite and interact with other
prosperous people.
The common man sees this behavior as “stuck-up” and “snobby”. The rich
simple see it as an unfortunate necessity, as I do.
That’s why I never shop at Wal-Mart. Have I? Yes. But just walking
into that store makes me physically uncomfortable. My stomach turns.
I feel that way because I associate that store and the people who shop
there with struggle and poverty.
The entire company is designed around the concept of “saving money”
and pinching pennies.
It’s a physical monument dedicated to thoughts like…
“I only have this much money, so I need to save as much as I can.”
“The economy is crashing, so I need to guard what little I have.”
“I can’t afford it…”
“We’re on a limited budget.”
That kind mindset is a disease voluntarily held by people who go
through life as victims.
They are subservient to their boss, to economic times, to prices, and
to money itself.
Money has the power, and they are lucky to acquire and save any that
comes their way.
The rich think differently.
They believe and accept that they have the power to change and shape
their lives as they wish. Money doesn’t own their lives, they own the
money. They have the power.
The difference between these two mindsets can be summed up like this…
Someone with a poverty mentality says, “I can’t afford it”.
Someone with an abundance mentality says, “How can I afford it?”
The more you start to think like the rich, the more appearant this
mindset will become to you. One day, you’ll walk into Walmart and
you’ll literally FEEL what I’m talking about.
You’ll feel like you’re out of place… Like you’ve walked into a club
or restaurant where you’re the one person who doesn’t belong.
Now I know that there are a lot of people out there reading this who
DO shop at Wal-Mart and are saying, “that’s easy for you to say Mike.
You don’t have a family of 4 to support and you’re not struggling to
get this home business thing off the ground anymore.”
Well I have shopped at Wal-Mart and I have been as low as anyone. When
you’re pawning your DVD collection to eat as I have, you’ve basically
hit the bottom.
But the difference is that even during those times, I have NEVER been
comfortable shopping there because in my mind, I was different. I
didn’t belong in that store. I didn’t share the same mind-set that the
rest of the people in there did.
I have nothing against saving money when you’re struggling. I was
there. But I do, and will always wage war against a poverty mentality.
Whether or not you shop at Wal-Mart is not important. Everyone starts
from the bottom and does whatever they have to do. Whether or not you
are comfortable and happy shopping at Wal-Mart is where your personal
truth is found.
If you don’t have the feelings, desires, and aspirations to separate
yourself from the crowd of Middle America discount shoppers, then I
don’t know why you’re even on this list.
To take this attitude of abundance vs prosperity to another level,
I’ve also adopted the following habits:
I never use coupons and I never accept coin change from a purchase. If
my bottle of water costs $1.75, the cashier gets $2.00 and keeps the
25 cents.
Why?
Because I NEVER focus on pinching pennies. I focus on MAKING MORE.
I constantly hold an abundance mindset, and these two habits are a
physical expression of that mentality that I have held even when I was
making $1,500/mo as a waiter. It’s a message to my subconscious mind
to always see life through a lens of prosperity.
If you find yourself thinking more about saving money, than making money…
If you have trouble seeing yourself as a leader instead of an employee…
If you’re not sure how to make that transition from a poverty
mentality that limits you, to one of abundance that leads to wealth,
I’d encourage you to consider getting a copy of Magnetic Sponsoring.
The new 2008 edition that was released a few months ago contains
instructions and advice that will allow you to take control of your
life… To become a leader of men, and a master of money.
And it isn’t some “rah-rah” feel good speech. The information is based
on the genetic behavior patterns that determine whether you’re a
“beta” in life, (like an employee), or an “Alpha” leader.
If you want to be successful and wealthy so you can have a positive
impact on your life and others, you MUST become an Alpha because
there’s no such thing as a “rich beta.” They simply do not exist.
The first two chapters of Magnetic Sponsoring are dedicated to this
subject matter, because it’s so critical to your success.
If you haven’t read the course yet, I’d like you to take it for a
test-drive just so you can experience this incredible information for
yourself.
Keep it for an ENTIRE MONTH, and let the secrets it contains change
your life for the better.
If you’re not completely satisfied for any reason, I’ll buy it back
from you at any time over the next YEAR.
In less than 5 minutes from now, you could be learning the strategies
and tactics that allowed me to go from waiting tables, to 7 figures in
less than 18 months!

 How Networking’s Top “Super Recruiter” Effortlessly Sponsors 250+
Distributors On The Phone Each Year… Without Rejection, Fear, Or
High-Pressure Selling…
And you can too — even if you’re brand spanking new to networking,
and terrified of calling prospects now.
I just wanted to follow up after sending you the free Black Belt
Recruiting training video I did with Mark yesterday.
And today, I wanted to fill you in on the story behind “Black Belt
Recruiting”, and how I met Mark, who became my sponsoring mentor.
So if you’d like to sponsor as many as 25 (or more) new reps per
month… and do it even if you’re shy, introverted and scared to death
of talking to prospects on the phone now… then you’re about to find
out, so enjoy today’s little story…
“My Life As A Certified Phone Wuss…”
Yes it’s true…
When I was just starting out, I was a certified sponsoring wussy.
I was NOT a born networker, and sponsoring was NOT easy for me.
For six long years I was paralyzed by anxiety at the mere thought of
calling a lead.
I’d sit at my desk and shuffle papers for hours.  Make endless trips
to Office Depot, and sharpen entire boxes of pencils just to avoid
calling prospects.
And when I finally did summon the courage to make calls, many people
would literally hang up on me while I was talking.
My mind would go blank from being so nervous, and not knowing what to say.
I lost count of how many prospects “suddenly” decided not to join my
opportunity at the last minute — even though they were ready to sign
up, credit card in hand just moments before.
Frankly, all I wanted to do was quit.  The constant humiliation, fear
and rejection was just too hair-raising.
Then one day, (by fate or just “dumb luck”), I came across a guy
online who’s considered networking’s top “super recruiter.”
A man so brilliant at sponsoring over the phone… many of today’s six
and seven figure network marketers call him… The “Guru’s Guru” of
phone sponsoring.
No joke.
He’s taught thousands of networkers how to eliminate their fear of
talking to prospects, and sponsor hundreds of reps per year without
ANY rejection or high pressure selling.
He himself routinely sponsors as many as 25+ people a month into his
own business (even with an average start up cost of $800),  and he
easily built his last organization to 10,000+ distributors in less
than 24 months.
Anyway, this man’s name is Mark, and when he agreed to let me listen
in on some of his sponsoring calls, I almost couldn’t believe what I
heard.
Not only did he make all the other phone “experts” sound like scared,
stuttering little children on the phone… but…
He did the exact opposite of what other phone trainers say to do.
For example:
He refused to make follow up appointments.  He ONLY talked to
prospects a second time when they called to process their application.
If someone asked him for free samples or literature, he would almost
laugh at them — and email them a special “homework” assignment to be
sent back to him when finished.
And instead of “hard selling” his leads (like most networkers do)…
Mark woulds sometimes tell prospects that they couldn’t join his team,
even though they had their credit card out, ready to join.
Anyway, here’s the point:
That night of listening to Mark changed my life forever.
I went from being terrified of talking to leads on the phone to
controlling and dominating every prospecting call I made.  (Even with
people higher on the social and professional “food chain” than me.)
My sponsoring rates went from one or two new reps every few months…
to as many as a dozen new reps in a single evening.
And my income soared from zero to multi-millionaire in less than two years.
And if you would like to start using these exact same sponsoring
secrets that put myself (and many other 7-figure networkers) on the
“map”, then I’ve got great news.
Last year Mark and I did an intense, 6-day tele-seminar covering ALL
of his sponsoring secrets and taped it.
These recordings reveal the almost unbelievably effective tactics Mark
learned while sponsoring thousands of reps into his opportunity, and
after learning Clinical Psychology, (which reveals how people make
decisions and process information).
And that’s why no matter how many “gurus” you talk to… no matter how
many sales books you read… no matter how many high-priced networking
seminars you attend…
You simply can not find many of these sponsoring secrets anywhere else.
We call this training “Black Belt Recruiting“, and besides the few
people who heard these private training calls… almost nobody knows
these simple (but highly advanced) secrets exist.
Black Belt Recruiting is finally available to the public, and if
you’re not sponsoring at least 10-20 new reps per month, you need a
copy. Period.
These techniques work so well, that I’m going to actually guarantee
that you’ll come out of this experience as a different person…
Pick up a copy of Black Belt Recruiting. If you aren’t filled with
more confidence, and sponsoring more reps than you ever have before
within 30 days, just send it back for a full, no-questions-asked
refund.
Yes, you heard me correctly… If Black Belt Recruiting doesn’t help
you become a sponsoring dynamo, you don’t pay for it. It’s that
simple.
