Taking Steps to Prepare for the Worst

by Robert Kiyosaki

Posted on Monday, September 28, 2009, 12:00AM

In Sunday school I was taught the parable of the pharaoh of Egypt and his dream of seven fat cows being eaten by seven skinny cows. Deeply disturbed, the pharaoh sought the interpretation of his dream. A young slave boy interpreted the dream to mean Egypt would have seven years of plenty to be followed by seven years of famine. The message: Prepare for the lean years during the years of plenty. The pharaoh prepared Egypt for the lean years and led it into an era of prosperity.

My rich dad used the story of the three little pigs to make a similar point. As you know, one pig built his house out of straw, the other of sticks. Once the first two pigs finished their houses they began to party, taunting and laughing at the third pig who was taking longer, building his house of bricks. After the house of bricks was finished, a big bad wolf appeared and blew down the houses of straw and sticks. If not for the shelter of the house of bricks, the first two pigs would have been pork dinner.

In 2007 a big bad wolf known as the ’subprime crisis’ blew down financial houses made of straw and sticks, houses known as Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, AIG, Merrill Lynch, Washington Mutual, Fannie Mae, and Countrywide — as well as the homes and businesses of people who built their lives on straw and sticks.

Lessons of the Pharaoh

Last month’s column was about reasons why people should prepare for the worst. This article is about how to prepare for the worst. Preparation begins with understanding the lessons of the pharaoh and the three little pigs: Prepare for the worst even when times are good.

For me, it was not easy to follow these lessons, especially during the boom years. It was tough preparing for bad times while my friends were enjoying the good times. It was tough not to climb the corporate ladder seeking higher pay and job security or chasing financial fads such as flipping real estate, day trading stocks, gambling on dotcom companies, investing in mutual funds, or using my home as an ATM to pay off my credit cards. Today, many of my fellow baby boomers who enjoyed the boom years are concerned about survival in the lean years.

In 1973, returning from the Vietnam War, I found my dad, in his fifties and in the prime of his life, unemployed. Although a highly educated, honest, hard-working man — and former superintendent of education for the state of Hawaii and Republican Party candidate for Lt. governor of the state – he was sitting at home, looking for work. My dad’s situation, combined with my experience of the war, was my wake-up call. I knew something was wrong, but I did not know what was wrong.

The stories of the pharaoh and the three little pigs danced in my head. I knew I had to prepare, but for what I did not know. I just knew I could not follow my dad’s advice, which was to fly for the airlines or go back to school and get my PhD. My instincts, sharpened by the war, knew his advice was not right for me. I decided to follow in my rich dad’s footsteps, not my poor dad’s.

One Path to Take

The following are some of the steps I took to prepare for the worst. I do not recommend my path; I will simply state why I did what I did and what benefits were gained.

1. I became an entrepreneur, not an employee. This was a tough choice. I did not have the skills, experience, or financial backing to support me through the lean years and my mistakes…and there were many lean years and mistakes. Many of the businesses I started failed.

Thirty-six years later, I own a number of businesses and employ hundreds of people all over the world. Some of the benefits: A) I make more money and pay less in taxes because I provide jobs, and that is what this economy needs — more jobs. When President Obama speaks about raising taxes on the rich, he speaks about high-income employees and small business owners, not entrepreneurs who build big businesses. As you know today, many big businesses are doing better as small businesses crumble. B) I can start new businesses as the economy changes and new opportunities appear. C) I can start businesses in different countries when new opportunities appear. D) I am not afraid of losing my job. E) My income goes up as my business grows.

The good news is that it is easier to be an entrepreneur today. The Web and new technology offer more opportunities to reach a world market at a lower price. Today a person can start a business at home and reach the world market.

2. I invest for cash flow, not capital gains. Most people invest for capital gains. These are the people who have lost a lot of money or are afraid of losing more money. When a person says, “My house has appreciated in value” or “The stock market is going up,” they are investing for capital gains. Investing for capital gains is like building a house of straw or sticks.

In 1973 I took a real estate course to learn how to invest for cash flow. Even though the real estate market crashed in 2007, my rental properties continue to produce cash flow. Even though banks are not lending money to many homeowners, the government continues to loan millions, via the FHA, to investors who provide housing. This means we receive tax breaks and use debt — other people’s money — to increase income.

The good news is, when prices crash, cash flow investments become more affordable. For example, stocks such as Johnson & Johnson, a company that pays a steady dividend (cash flow), become more affordable. If you want to start your real estate career, now is the time to invest for cash flow.

3. I invest for inflation. In 1971 President Nixon took the world off the gold standard, which means the world’s central banks can print as much money as they want. I was in Vietnam in 1972 and saw what happens when people do not trust paper money. Rather than try to live below my means and save money, I invest in gold, silver, and oil — commodities that go up in price as the government prints more money.

When investing for inflation, I am not investing for cash flow. In this case, I am investing to protect my wealth from the predatory practices of the Federal Reserve Bank, the U.S. Treasury, and the ultra rich manipulating the world economy.
China does not trust the U.S. dollar. Today China is using U.S. dollars to buy commodities such as oil, copper, gold, and silver. The good news is silver is still inexpensive. In 2007 gold was approximately 50 times more expensive than silver. In 2009 the gap is 70 times — which means silver is a bargain.

Silver is used in the electronics industry and is consumed daily; stock piles of silver are dwindling. On top of that, for the first time in modern history, there is more gold in the world than silver. In other words, silver is more valuable than gold. The good news is, at less than $20 an ounce, almost anyone can afford to start preparing for the worst and building their own house of silver.

In conclusion: My mom and dad lived through the last depression. They knew lean years. The baby boom generation is about to have their fat cows eaten by skinny cows. The good news is, if you can thrive when times are bad, these are the best of times

I loved this book…. it’s about balance! By Robert and Emi Kiyosaki two people from the same family yet couldnt be more different in their journeys of life and how they came back together.

The words financial wealth and spirituality usually dont go in the same sentence, they are considered at the opposite ends of spectrum. What I loved so much about this book was that its message was that neither one is better than the other and that to find lasting peace we need to be comfortable with both of our accounts.

We need money its a fact of life. If we deny this reality than we are simply burdening or draining the people around us as Emi a buddhist nun ordained by His Holiness the Dalai Lama found out when she was diagnosed with cancer then later heart disorder and had no savings or medical insurance to pay for these expensive medical bills. Money and her own future wellbeing had never been a priority as she put others needs before her own.  The book is her journey as a spiritual seeker and later having to create a self-serving financial plan so she could take care of her health and therefore continue to help others. 

Without our health or ultimately life we dont have anything to give. The more we have, the more we have to give.

As a yoga and Pilates teacher and business owner it is only through my business skills that I have been able to afford to travel the world extensively learning and training with some of the worlds greatest teachers. It’s through financial planning and strategies that I can afford to offer FREE and low-cost community yoga and Pilates classes every week all year-round to those who can afford full fee sessions.

This book resonated with every cell in my body. At times I feel like I’m two separate people; one a business minded entrepeneur and the other wanting to be a pure spiritual seeker meditating, practicing yoga and learning eastern philosophy and techniques all day. But even as I write this I think of karma yoga (selfless service) and this also comes at a price…. we need to have wealth of time and resources to make a difference.

Robert the author of best seller self-development book Rich Dad Poor Dad message is load and clear. We will all find financial freedom if we are following a higher intention for the greater good and to service others. This is how we balance out the spiritual account sheet….. to be truly abundant we need to give abundantly. Whatever you want you must first be willing to give.

Thank you Robert and Emi for such an inspiring read.

Book: Why We Want You to Be Rich: Two Men – One Message

Authors: Donald Trump & “Rich Dad” Robert Kiyosaki

Donald and Robert want you to become rich to become part of the solution to the problems we face as a nation and the world.

Professional investors, as Donald and Robert are require transparency in all their investments. 

1. Free from pretense or deceit
2. Sheer enough to be seen through
3. Readily understood.

 Mutual fund companies are not required to be transparent – not required to disclose their true expenses.

 401K is a savings plan, not a retirement plan. “Saving money” became an obsolete idea in 1971 when money stopped being back by gold and became “currency.” Saving money is bad financial advice.

 Quotes from Trump:

 “What’s the point of having great knowledge and keeping it to yourself?”

  “We as a nation cannot solve our financial problems if we think with an entitlement mentality. It’s this mentality that’s really at the core of the problem.”

 “Be your own financial advisor.”

 “Being stubborn is a big part of being a winner.”

Quotes from Robert:

 “Most of my wealth comes from my gold mine in China, my silver mine in South America and my real estate companies and oil partnerships in the United States.”

“My poor dad valued security, and my rich dad valued freedom.”

“Money buys me more choices in life.”

“The difference between a saver and investor is one word – leverage.”

 “There is very little leverage in you working hard.”

“10% of borrowers use debt to get richer, 90% percent use debt to get poorer.”

 FOCUS – “Follow One Course Until Success”

“Leverage is the key to great wealth.”

“If you want to be rich and keep your wealth, your mind – your financial education – is your greatest lever of all.”

“Rich dad taught me to use my mind to make money… not to make excuses.”

“Money is the celebration of success, just as lack of money is the reminder that we need to learn more.”

“Leverage is the ability to do more with less.”

“Strategic Partners creates leverage and is often called OPR, other people’s resources.”

“Rich people use more leverage than poor people. If you want to be rich you need leverage. If you want to be really rich, you need a lot of leverage.”

“I like business and real estate because I have control. I do not like paper assets such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds because I do not have control.”

“The tougher the negotiation, the more relaxed the environment needs to be.”

“Rather than living below our means, we constantly work on expanding our means, increasing our income, building assets and serving as many people as we can.”

The hackles of one dragon (Peter Jones) usually bristle, when he finds out just how much entrepreneurs intend to pay themselves from the investment they take from the dragons. It doesn’t sit well with him that he’s “funding a lifestyle” instead of paying for the development of the company itself. Any mention of such extravagances almost immediately turns him off and nothing can bring him back to the table.

I can understand where he’s coming from, really. From the Wikipedia writeup about him, Peter Jones is said to have slept on his office floor, sold his beloved cars, and given up his home just to cope with the demands and challenges of his enterprises. He can deliver a real lecture on sacrifices in entrepreneurship. He’s lived it himself.

So when one presenter came before the dragons to say, “I don’t come cheap”,  I did wonder (similar to what Peter does in other instances) why it is so that that’s a priority to her. That particular entrepreneur ended up with an investment from two dragons, but her business failed soon enough, according to some online sources I browsed. (N.B. Her insistence on drawing a huge salary was because she used to earn upwards of GBP 200,000; her demand of GBP 70,000 or so was actually a “pay cut” — or so she insisted.)

While it’s true that Robert Kiyosaki emphasises that entrepreneurs should really pay themselves, there is an angle to this principle that many entrepreneurs tend to gloss over, conveniently forget, or miss out on: Earn the salary you pay yourself. Keyword: earn. Yes, the business owner’s gotta eat, but she gotta earn it.

I’ve not paid myself for running CAN-DO! Not yet, anyway. In fact, I’ve been stoking CAN-DO! with lots of money from Master Publishing. (You can easily see from the very empty fridge I have and the fact that I normally  eat just once a day that I’ve given up quite a bit. Never mind the fact that I take public transportation and only do cabs when I’m not feeling well, am in a hurry, have a laptop to carry, or really need to be in a suit for a meeting.) It’s only now, almost a year later, that I’m finally seeing the flames dancing happily as all my efforts pay off. I can finally relax a little. And enjoy what I have clearly earned. If I went by “I don’t come cheap,” I’d probably have become an epic fail from day one. But gladly, my parents taught me well enough that delayed gratification has its very real rewards.

It’s all sweet now. I have earned every single shilling.

I started accumulating silver 2 years ago and hold (albeit in small amounts, I’m 25) all types of Silver in various amounts.  You have many different options at your fingertips depending on your risk tolerance and financial situation.  Personally, I don’t care how retired or young you are, I would get AT LEAST 25% of your investment and savings holdings in precious metals like Gold and Silver.  I would hold nothing in US Dollars, such as stocks in companies that are traded in Dollars.  The alternative would be to buy stocks in other currencies such as the yen, euro, brazilian real, etc. but that’s a whole other post.   What I’m talking about is Silver.  I am going to list below the options you have available to you today. 

ACCUMULATE SILVER FREE MONTHLY-CLICK TO FIND OUT HOW

  Silver Minted Coins/Rounds-  This is the most basic form of silver you can hold in your physical possession.  Most people venture to keep this in a personal safe at home or a safety deposit box at a local bank.  Possibly under your pillow or buried in the backyard are two other options if you’re paranoid.  Coins/Rounds are the best for trade and if we have a hyperinflationary period where the Dollar is completely useless, you’ll be able to barter with these things to purchase goods & services.  These are typically 1oz. forms of 99.99% pure silver that are minted by the US or foreign governments.  Silver Eagles and Canadien Leafs are two types but there are many, sometimes even produced by private industry, still holding the 99.99% silver content.  Ways to obtain this type of silver are to go to your local coin shop or purchase online at websites such as http://www.bulliondirect.com/ or http://www.apmex.com/.  I use BullionDirect purchasing with my credit card and the package typically arrives safely within 3-5 days. 

 Junk Silver Coins- Below are the types of US minted coins, the years they were made and sent into circulation, and the corresponding % of silver content.  This is a cheap and fantastic way to increase your silver holdings if you’re short on cash and want to get started.  When you collect these, you have the option of getting the silver content melted down in any way shape or form you choose.  Most choose to create larger bullion bars for storage.  Fact of the matter is, silver is silver, regardless of form.

DOLLARS  

 Morgan (1878-1921) — 90-% silver 

Peace (1921-1928 and 1934-1935) — 90-% silver
HALF DOLLARS
Liberty Head “Barber” (1892-1915) — 90-% silver
Walking Liberty (1916-1947) — 90-% silver
Franklin (1948-1963) — 90-% silver
Kennedy (1964) — 90-% silver
Kennedy (1965-1970) — 40-%silver
QUARTERS
Liberty Head “Barber” (1892-1916) — 90-% silver
Standing Liberty (1916-1930) — 90-% silver
Washington (1932, 1934-1964) — 90 % silver
DIMES
Liberty Head “Barber” (1892-1916) — 90-% silver
Winged Liberty Head “Mercury” (1916-1945) — 90%silver
Roosevelt (1946-1964) — 90-percent silver

Silver Bullion Bars-  Bullion bars are exactly what it sounds like.  Small or large rectangle full bars that hold 99.99% silver in them.  These are minted by either governments or by private industry by companies like Morgan Head, APMEX, Heraeus, etc.  Again, silver is silver but these things look fantastic and you can pick and chose as each company has different designs.  Typically the bars come in sizes (for personal investment) of 1oz., 5oz., 10oz., 100oz., and 1000oz.  1000oz. for the big shots!  These are great for storage and great for transitioning investments from say your stock portfolio or money market account.  Hide these in your house, in a safe, or possibly in a safe deposit box. 

Silver Exchange Traded Fund (ETF)- If you have an IRA or investment trading account with a broker or online, this is an easy way to get exposure to the price of silver.  The only one I invest in and frankly know of is a ticker symbol SLV which is the iShares Silver Trust.  This trust both buys physical silver as well as silver certificates to hold on behalf of the investors, guys and girls like you and me.  Typically the price of SLV tracks almost exactly the 1oz. price of Silver.  I recommend this to get exposure in your online account, but prefer to hold physical silver as SLV doesn’t 100% invest in physical holdings. 

GOLDMONEY.COM-  GoldMoney is an online precious metals holding account for investors with $25,000 or more to invest.  I don’t know too much about this so please check into it yourself, but the jist of it is you basically put your $ into an account with GoldMoney.  They own and operate various vaults in Europe so say you want to own 100oz. of Silver, you take (at spot price of $17/oz.) $1,700 of $ in your account and purchase silver.  They hold it for you in your vault and you never have to physically have it in your possession.  A great alternative for large investments in the metal.  You can trade out of silver easily and they’ll give you the $ based on the spot price.  I prefer to hold my silver in my physical possession but, again, a great alternative for someone with a lot of cash trying to buy silver in bulk.  (Based on the name, you can also buy gold )

Silver Investment/Accumulation Programs(FREE SILVER)-  Go to my website www.silversnowball.com/1953 to learn more about this and email me on my email address there to ask questions or learn more.  I use this to accumulate silver coins for free each month.  A $40/month subscription gets you a 1oz. Silver American Eagle delivered to your doorstep each month, a monthly newsletter, and a FREE Marketing website.  They give you 1oz. Silver American Eagle Coin for every 2 people you refer.  So if you refer 6 people, they give you 3oz. PLUS the 1oz. you purchase in the subscription.  For every 10, you get 5oz., for every 100, you get 50oz.  So, for your $40/month if you refer 10 buddies or other like-minded investors, you’re getting a total of 6oz. for $40 or $6.66/oz., WELL BELOW SPOT PRICE.  This is real and it works, however, isn’t a way to buy physical silver just to buy it.  I recommend this for silver buffs who want to reap the benefits of the coming silver craze and bull market.

I hope this helps.  I can’t stress enough how good of an investment this is at current prices.  I would accumulate as much as possible under $25/oz. and let it ride!

SILVER

Robert Kiyosaki talks about “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and why the Network Marketing business model is one of the best ways to create wealth and leverage in todays tough economy.

YOU: Hey, if I invited you to a private business reception, would you come?

PROSPECT: I don’t know, what is it?

YOU: I know you want to know all about what I am doing because, honestly, it is one of the most exciting things I have ever been involved in.  If I invited you to hear all about it, will you come?

PROSPECT: Is this MLM?

YOU: Do you like MLM?

PROSPECT: Not really. I have never had a good experience with MLM.

YOU: Then, you are going to love this! If I invite you, will you come?

PROSPECT: Sure, since it is you, I am open learning more about what you are involved in.

YOU: Ok, what time is best, Tuesday lunch or Thursday night at 7pm?

PROSPECT: Thursday night looks best for me.

YOU: So, you will come for sure if I invite you?

PROSPECT: Yes, I will be sure to make it.

YOU- Ok, I will send you an invitation right away. Can’t wait to share this with you. You are really going to like what you hear.

Can you do that? Then, you just got started inviting people on your list to your Private Business Reception (PBR)!

Do that twice a month for yourself, and help your new members do that for themselves and you will have a rapidly growing business.

You want to get yourself to the top of the payplan as quickly as you can. There is a LOT of money to be made here, and a LOT of fun to have in the process.  It is easier to build fast than slow!  Do It Now!  Emotions follow action and it is a well-known fact that to create momentum you must act now when you learn something.

“But I don’t know that many people.”

Well, learn to meet new people. And if you follow the lead generation plans in the QuickStart, you never will run out of people to talk to about your business.  And remember, if people don’t know you are in business then you aren’t in business.

“But I am not good at speaking in front of people.”

Develop that skill; it will make you wealthy.

“But I am no good at sales.”

Cool. Can you play a video?

This is a hilarious video for any Gold or Silver Buffs.  This is a YouTube video done by Mark Dice where he is walking down the street with a Canadien Gold Coin (1oz.) worth upwards of $1,100.00.  It makes sense that most people don’t understand the concept of fiat currency and the value of hard assets, but I just think it’s hilarious when you get real life examples of this caputured on video. 

Man Tries to Sell Gold!

People will start to catch on in the months to come that the credit cards, dollars, and change they hold are losing value each day.  Please check out my website for my Silver Accumulation Program I’m involved in and let me know if you would like to join  http://silversnowball.com/1953

This is my first post on this blog.  I am not an economist, a financial expert, or member of the political community.  I am merely just a 25 year old, hardworking investor, that is scared straight about the possibility of an inflationary period here in the United States.  The facts, the charts, and the policies all point in the same direction- our country’s national debt is un-payable and the only way out of this mess is to print more of our beloved US Dollars. 

We’ve bulit an economy on credit, on borrowing from others to live well above our means.  The idea of saving up money to make a purchase was lost generations ago and now we’ve built a culture, a national groupthink that eliminates us from creating a sound policy, a sound solution to fix this mess that we’ve found ourselves in.  Our banking system continues to get worse, our currency is losing it’s purchasing power by the minute, and the jobs picture is as gruesome as ever.

My solution to this issue is to invest in hard assets, commodities.  Things that actually have value and purchasing power.  If you’re reading this, you’ve probably already seen a massive increase in the prices of gold, silver, oil, palladium, copper, and food.  This isn’t a coincedence.  I plan on providing sound facts and solutions over time via the blog and would love to use this site as a medium to network with like minded individuals. 

Check out my Silver Investing Program that allows you to start accumulating silver well below actual cost.  I’ve already received free silver bullion coins and continue to earn more free silver just for spreading the word!  http://silversnowball.com/1953 (If you join through me, I will coach you with quick ways to accumulate more silver quickly)

Social Media has even caused the Guru’s to be humble and start learning again. In fact Robert Kiyosaki states that he spends about $200,000.00 a month managing his social media presence. He mentions how crucial it is to keep learning. The fastest learners and the most humble seem to always win.

Beberapa hari yang lalu saya berkesempatan memberikan training di Bandung. Karena acara dimulai jam 13.00 maka saya berangkat dari Jakarta pukul 9.30. Ketika mulai memasuki tol ke arah Sadang, di belakang saya ada sebuah mobil Lexus berwarna hitam yang melaju dengan kecepatan tinggi.

Tetapi yang saya suka walaupun ia melaju dengan kecepatan tinggi, ia tidak memaksakan kehendak. Jika mobil di depannya tidak mau memberi jalan, maka ia yang mengalah dengan mengambil jalan ke kiri dahulu baru kemudian balik lagi ke jalur kanan.

Supaya tidak ngantuk karena saya menyetir sendirian dan tertarik dengan cara menyetir si mobil hitam ini, iseng-iseng saya membuntuti mobil tersebut dari belakang. Saya ikuti cara ia menyetir, termasuk kecepatannya. Ketika tidak ada mobil lain di tol, kecuali mobil tersebut dan mobil saya, mobil hitam tersebut menambah kecepatannya. Karena sedang membuntuti, tanpa sadar saya ikut menambah kecepatan mobil saya.

Ketika saya melihat panel kecepatan, menunjukkan angka 160 km/jam. Padahal selama ini, kecepatan tercepat yang pernah saya tempuh adalah 140 km/jam, saya tidak berani melaju diatas itu. Tapi dengan adanya mobil yang saya ikuti, saya bisa tembus rekor kecepatan mobil saya. Sesuatu yang sulit saya lakukan jika tidak ada sparringnya. Karena saya berhenti di suatu tempat, saya kehilangan mobil hitam tersebut.

Ketika saya mulai memacu kendaraan lagi, saya coba untuk berlari 160 km/jam lagi. Saya berhasil mencapai kecepatan tersebut tetapi tidak berani terlalu lama karena belum terbiasa. Ketika kemudian ada mobil lain lagi yang melaju dengan kecepatan tinggi dan saya buntuti, saya bisa masuk lagi ke 160 km/jam dengan durasi yang cukup lama.

Sama seperti kehidupan ini, seringkali kita merasa sudah maksimal melakukan sesuatu. Kita merasa tidak mungkin lagi melakukan sesuatu yang lebih baik lagi.

Namun kalau kita mempunyai sparring partner yang lebih hebat dari kita, entah itu seorang atasan, seorang coach, seorang mentor, role model atau apapun, maka kita bisa terpacu untuk mendapatkan hasil yang lebih baik lagi.

Namun jika kita belum matang belajar dari sparring partner kita dan mencoba untuk mandiri, mungkin agak sulit bagi kita untuk terus berada di kondisi sama seperti ketika ada sparring partner. Nantinya jika kita sudah mempunyai pola dan terbiasa, barulah kita mulai bisa mandiri.

Robert Kiyosaki mengatakan bahwa penghasilan seseorang ditentukan 5 orang terdekatnya.

Ilustrasi saya mengenai kecepatan mobil bisa menjelaskan pernyataan dari Robert Kiyosaki tersebut. Jika orang-orang di dekat kita hanya biasa-biasa saja, maka sulit bagi kita untuk melakukan sesuatu yang luar biasa. Namun kalau kita biasa tetapi di sekelilingnya luar biasa, maka kita akan terpacu untuk juga menjadi luar biasa.

Apakah ada penjelasannya secara Science? Ternyata ada. Di dalam otak manusia ada sekumpulan sel syaraf yang disebut Mirror Neuron, yang bertugas meniru apa yang dilakukan oleh orang lain. Jika di sekelilingnya orang hebat atau luar biasa, maka Mirror Neuron kita akan meniru mereka sehingga menjadikan kita juga hebat dan luar biasa. Kalau sebaliknya, maka Mirror Neuron-pun juga akan meniru yang sebaliknya.

- Siapa mobil hitam yang akan anda ikuti agar bisa menembus kecepatan anda selama ini?

- Siapa orang hebat dan luar biasa yang akan anda ikuti agar bisa menembus batas yang selama ini membatasi hidup anda?

Temukan orang tersebut, ikuti dan pelajari bagaimana ia memandang dirinya, bagaimana keyakinan dan nilai-nilai kehidupan yang ia pegang, bagaimana ia membangun kapabilitasnya, bagaimana tingkah lakunya, maka anda akan mendobrak batas yang selama ini membatasi hidup anda !

Step Up, Live Life to the Max and Make Your Dreams Come True !

You have a wonderful idea; you know it could make you millions, do you:

1. Take out an ad in the New York Times broadcasting your new discovery.
2. Write up a research paper and present it at the next tradeshow, university staff meeting, or Toastmasters event.
3. Talk about it to a few friends, but never act on it.
4. Keep your mouth shut, start researching, and keep meticulous records.

I think the choice is obvious, but just in case you didn’t get the point. The answer is 4.  If you have a new invention and you are dying to share it to the world, don’t. You need to start working towards your invention, proving due diligence by consistently  working on your invention is what it takes to make your invention a profitable means of income for you and your family.

Hopefully, these steps will assist you in your goal. It is imperative that you are organized and consistent.  You have two years to prove that you are moving towards your invention. That’s really not a long time when you have a myriad of outside obligations that try and stop you from attaining your goal.

Step 1: The Journal

Get a bound notebook. Use it as place to store all information, research, drawings and diagrams that you create of your project.  Write the date on every page of your journal. Keep track of everything you do towards the project. Are you reading books? Take notes and date it. Are you going to a fabric store? Take notes and date it. Did you go to a trade show, convention, or sales meeting? Take notes and date it. Any type of research! Take notes and date it.  Did you call someone and talk about your business? Take notes and date it.  This shows that you are consistently working on your invention daily!

The journal is so important!!! You must do something EVERYDAY towards your project.  The only excuse that you can use for missing dates is vacation or illness. I strongly suggest saving plane tickets, toll receipts, hotel receipts, whatever you used for vacation. I’m not a tax attorney, but if you decide to take a break on vacation, think about how you can combine your vacation and your business together. If you are deathly ill and can’t continue working on your project, keep track of hospital visits. You don’t want a hanging chad on your patent application. Don’t leave any room for questions!

Step 2: Drawings and sketches

In order to prove that you created this design, find someone who will act as a witness to your work. The witness will not receive credit for invention. Your witness is an outside observer. This person is just a sounding board. They are a witness to your actions and your work on your project. I also suggest going to a notary, this adds more legitimacy to your claim.

Step 3: Explain your invention

The purpose of the patent system is to educate the public and foster innovation. Your role as the inventor is to educate. You need to write a document that fully explains how your invention works. You need to describe the design, structure and possible uses of your invention. After you write this document, get it signed and dated by a witness. The witness will not be considered an inventor.  It’s possible that you may make changes to your invention. If so, re-write your document and repeat the process. Save all papers and dates. This shows your work.

Step 4: Find a reputable patent attorney

While you are working on your invention, start scouting attorneys. Find someone who is compatible. Check their track record. A simple word search in your area may bring up a variety of names and organizations that can help you get a patent. Talk to someone who has experience in your area. Many of them will provide you with a free consultation. Ask as many questions as possible.

It’s a myth!

You may have heard about a cheaper way to get a paten is to mail it to yourself. Well, it’s a myth. If you can steam open an envelope and reseal it, then this form of “patent” becomes invalid.

Don’t waste your time!

You may have heard about provisional patents, something to do in a rush. Well, they are invalid once you start filing the real paperwork. Don’t waste your time!

I am not a paten attorney. I am not an inventor. I am just interested in protecting my ideas. Please seek out your own counsel.

Hoje vamos falar mais um pouco sobre Robert Kiyosaki e seu best seller Pai Rico, Pai Pobre.

No livro ele cita a importância das emoções em como as pessoas lidam com o dinheiro. Sendo as mais importantes, o Medo e a Ambição.

O medo de não ter dinheiro suficiente para as coisas que precisam e a ambição de conseguir dinheiro para poder realizar seus desejos. Muitas vezes o que faz com que a pessoa acumule uma grande riqueza é o medo de ficar pobre, mas mesmo assim com todo o dinheiro, dificilmente a pessoa perde o medo. Fica com mais medo ainda de perder o que conquistou com tanto trabalho. Mesmo tendo tanto dinheiro, acaba se tornando escravo de seu próprio dinheiro. Já que não tem o mais importante: o modo de pensar e a inteligência financeira de uma pessoa verdadeiramente rica.

A ambição faz com que as pessoas trabalhem duro para conseguir as coisas que elas desejam, e muitas vezes nem mesmo precisam. Muitas vezes as pessoas acabam se endividando, ao comprar de maneira impensada e impulsiva, piorando sua situação financeira. Muitas pessoas trabalham horas e horas mas no final acabam não tendo tempo para cuidar de seu dinheiro adquirido com tanto esforço e não conseguem fazê-lo crescer de maneira segura e rápida.

A maior parte das pessoas quando tem que tomar alguma decisão relacionada ao dinheiro é controlada por suas emoções. A principal causa dos problemas financeiros é o medo e a ignorância, a falta de inteligência financeira.

Por esse motivo Robert ressalta a importância da educação financeira como alicerce da contrução de uma grande riqueza. O mais importante não é quanto dinheiro você ganha, e sim quanto você conserva.

Muitas pessoas tem rendas elevadas, mas gastam tudo o que ganham, algumas vezes até mais e não conseguem acumular um grande patrimônio. Por outro lado, pessoas com rendas menores que sabem, administrar e investir corretamente podem acumular grandes fortunas ao longo de suas vidas.

About Tapas Fleming and TAT®

Tapas Fleming began her passionate search for truth at age 15. For many years her focus was on enlightenment, interpersonal relating and emotional release. In 1974, Tapas was initiated into natural meditation, a yoga-meditation for purification and liberation. After losing premature twins and coming close to dying herself, she went to school to learn acupuncture and focus on her own healing. In 1993, Tapas came up with a new simple and elegant way to serve her patients — Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT). She is a leading force in the emerging field of energy psychology. Tapas lives in Redondo Beach, California where she has a private practice and travels worldwide to give TAT trainings.

THE TAT® STORY (HOW I CAME UP WITH TAT®)

Both in my own life and as a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, I have often wondered how to get myself or a patient out from under the negative influence of past events. However much therapy or meditation or other forms of healing one undertakes, certain issues never seem to get resolved once and for all.

I cannot claim to have painstakingly arrived at a solution to this dilemma. Tapas Acupressure Technique (TAT) came to me after taking a nap in my office one day. I woke up with the thought of a particular acupuncture point and how it could be used for healing a person’s whole system. I was specializing in allergy work at the time, using a combination of acupressure and acupuncture, based on the methods of Dr. Devi Nambudripad of Buena Park, California. The acupuncture point is called Urinary Bladder 1 (UB1) or “Eyes Bright” as it is called in Chinese.

I immediately began to incorporate this point in my treatment of allergy patients with great success. After several months, a new patient told me, “My T’ai Chi master told me to use that point with one other for headaches and other problems.” Although my insight was based on my training and experience as an acupuncturist, this simple confirmation of my own experience meant a great deal to me. I added the third point the yT’ai Chi master mentioned.

After another few months, I was contemplating the fact that the occipital area of the brain is the vision center and that the points I was using for treatment were related to vision. I thought that perhaps if I included the brain’s vision center in the treatments I was doing, it would enhance the treatments. It did. An entire layer of complication in my allergy treatments (combining an allergen with other substances in order to achieve a complete clearing) was no longer necessary with the addition of placing the back of the hand on the occipital area of the head. The healing was more complete with less steps.

What I have discovered from using TAT goes beyond what I learned as part of my professional training. I discovered in my acupuncture practice that our bodies, not just our minds, have memories. Not just our memories, but the memories of our ancestors. If we stop and think about it for a minute, it becomes obvious that our bodies are the product of our parents’ bodies. We look like our parents, and often have similar health problems as our parents. Well, to take it many steps further, our parents’ bodies came from their parents’ bodies, whose bodies came from their parents’ bodies, and so on for a long, long way back. The color of your hair and your eyes, the shape of your hands and feet, your bone structure, and some of your health problems are the legacy of both your recent and ancient ancestors. Just as car manufacturers base new models on a long line of previous designs rather than reinvent the wheel, you are the latest model of your ancestry.

Again, I did not come to this conclusion through study and thought, but through experience in my clinical practice. For example, I was working on a patient who was allergic to dust. As I was treating her I “saw,” you might say psychically, a farmer pushing a plow and breathing in copious amounts of dirt. Big clouds of dust rose all around him as he followed his plow. Without mentioning the complete image I was seeing, I just talked to the patient about the dust of the land where she was living, and in her conversation to me she revealed that she came from a long line of German farmers. What was coming to me from her body was what I would call the cellular history of her present life in this body. Our bodies have living histories which we could call cellular memory. When an ancestor experienced something traumatic, that memory seems to be stored and passed down at a cellular level.

I was inspired to explore cellular memory more deeply when I worked with a patient who, by her early 30’s, had been in nine car crashes which she hadn’t caused. She had suffered a concussion and other major traumas to the head, and was suffering from constant neck and headaches with a couple of migraines a week. The story I “saw” was about a young boy of eight or so who was in a mountain cabin with his father. A crazy mountain man came in and killed his father, smashing his head open. When I mentioned this, my patient was silent for a few moments, then told me that her father had fallen, smashed his head, and she was there when it happened. She then told her sisters about what had come up, and her sisters told her that they knew of two men in the family who had been murdered by people smashing their heads in. The sisters also talked about the fact that their young children had already suffered an inordinate amount of concussions and blows to the head in the course of their growing up.

I began to realize that I had been given the gift of seeing the history of the cells of a human body and a way to heal the traumas that had been passed down from generation to generation: TAT. What I have learned from working with many friends and patients in these last several years is that when the story of those cells is heard, they release the stored trauma they have been holding and are able to rejoin the organism they are part of and get on with this business of living. Using TAT, a person doesn’t have to have a conscious or psychic vision of what happened. The TAT pose itself along with your focus on a trauma creates a connection between the cells’ memory and your function of vision. You “re-view” the trauma and it is integrated in a few moments.

WHAT IS A TRAUMA AND WHAT DOES TAT® DO?

A trauma occurs when life becomes unbearable and you tell it “No.” Or variations on the theme which could include: “Hold it right there.” “This is too much for me.” “If this happens, I won’t survive.” This is not necessarily a conscious choice. It is a natural response to your life in that moment. This response sets up patterns of mental, emotional, and physical behavior and health. A blockage, or energy stagnation has just been put in place and your life has been impacted. It seems like a good idea at the time, but you lose the ability of distinguishing the difference between a truly life-threatening event and an event that merely has certain aspects that resemble the original traumatic event. It is as if life were a flowing stream, and at one point, out of fear, you roll a boulder into it to try to dam the flow in order to keep a traumatic event from happening to you. The water, of course, simply flows around the boulder, but in your life – in your body, mind and emotions – there is a blockage that wasn’t there before.

From the view of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a blockage of energy flow creates disease. If you consider the blockage as a boulder in your body’s life flow, you can easily imagine that the life energy that would naturally be flowing along certain streams is going to be diverted. On the upstream side of the boulder, there will be dammed up energy, on the downstream side you will find a lack of energy. This creates emotional, mental and physical disharmony which is also known as a yin-yang imbalance. On one side is too much, on the other is not enough. The goal of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to achieve balance.

TAT is a way of saying to your whole body-mind: “Have another look at this.” It is an opportunity to change, based on taking a new look, rather than continuing to look away. By taking another look, within the context of TAT’s direction of the body’s energy flow, the charge that is still being held is removed from the past event and the event can now be integrated into your whole system.

What has that charge been? It’s traumatic stress which is simply the stress to your system of continually trying to hold off a trauma. That event really did happen. Working to deny its existence or hold it away from you is stressful. Traumatic stress ends when the trauma is no longer resisted. TAT accomplishes this in moments.

I would say that TAT reunites a person with parts of himself or herself that have been locked away or frozen in time. There are many ways to describe the results of TAT. Integration, harmony, peace, unity, connectedness, relatedness, oneness and wholeness are a few of the terms people have used to express how they feel after doing TAT.

Ryan Celestain discusses how the book Rich Dad Poor Dad changed his life and can change yours as well.  Real estate investing is a not just  a way to become Rich….it is an entirely differnt way of thinking and only 5% of the population understands it’s power. 

There has never been a time in history when there has been a greater exchange of wealth. There has never been a more urgent time then now to get educated in your financial future then today. today may even be too late, that is how urgent it is!
You are either informed and part of the 1 to 3% of the wealthy or you are going to settle and be left behind. I am sorry if it sound abrupt but I do not like to see families kick you of their homes and people loosing their jobs. If you do not become financially educated to protect yourself from the greatest transfer of money that the world has ever seen this could possibly happen to you. This recession is only the beginning and in the next three to five year will be significant if you are going to be part of the affluent or sit on the sidelines and wish you educated yourself and your family for what is to come. I highly, undeniably, must start your financial education with Rich Dad’s Conspiracy of the Rich by Robert Kiyosaki. it will light a fire under your butt and make you take massive action.

The major conspiracy is education; conspiracy against our education system to keep the majority of society uninformed so people have to seek outside of our school system if they what to become better informed. It all comes down to education.

The 4 major causes of our finances:
• Retirement conspiracy against our retirement because this country is in such great debt that in our lifetime we will see social security fail. There will be a tremendous increase of forced retirements therefore creating a higher social security class. The baby boomers are in their retirement years and the government is lying about supporting that demographic.
• Inflation conspiracy because money is not money anymore it is monopoly money and it is printed as much as it is needed. The money gets stretched thinner and products get more expensive.
• Taxes are increased because the Federal Reserve System tries to pay down the debt that is created from the printing of money which comes social security and income tax from the middle class and the struggling not from the rich.
• Debt which most of the population is in because of the inflation and taxes. It is from the cost of just surviving today.

As you can see there is an urgency to educate and learn as much as you can to prepare yourself for what is to come. It will get worse before it gets better.
