  • How hard are you willing to work?

    There are lots of ways to make money, legally. Most, if not all, involvle some hard work. Many involve a lot of hard work, or a lot of time. Read Robert Kiyosaki's- Business of the 21st Century. Then come back here and ask about what we have linked up with.
    Yes it is one of those evil networking businesses. However, if you read the book, then objectively look at what we offer, and our goals, I think you will find that there are some really good opportunities for anyone and everyone to be successful(define that for yourself).
    Yes, I am being somewhat evasive, because I don't want to start another bashing, opinion thread. And no I don't necessarily want to recruit you to my business. One fo the main, and stated goals of our business is to help(if they want it)everyone we meet, in whatever way we can, regardless of benefit or cost to ourselves. Hmmm, that sounds wierd, but it is true. We are a resource and information business, primarily. Oh, and isn't this the information age? Actually, it's mostly disinformation from the most common sources(in my opinion of course). Not that I am a conspiracy theorist, as it is pretty much open, in-your-face fact rather than theory now. But hey what do I know, I don't even watch TV. My son was asked if he was stupid because he doesn't watch TV at home. Wow!
    Well there is the challenge. Read, then ask. I will answer.

    There may be a bit of a communication problem here. You are wanting to give us the assignment to read a book and then come here to ask you questions about it?

    Why don't you get the conversation going by telling us a bit about what might be in the book. I see no reason to pick it up otherwise.

      Ok, I will give in a bit to that challenge. It is about businesses today, what is viable, what the climate is like. Who is working, where they are working, what they are doing, and why. Kiyosaki is famous for his systematic approach to everything, and the all important questions of what do you want and why do you want it. This book is mainly focused in the area of networking businesses, network marketing, and those types of opportunities. It does challenge a lot of the common thinking(which is based on actual events-kinda like witch hunting)and offers you a billionaire's view of what average people will tell you to run from. Is that a good enough trailer? Ha ha. thanks for the jab, and no, I don't want to you to ask me questions about the book, but about what we are doing that is relative to the book.

      Oh, and also, I figured if a person won't read a very short and intersting book on a referral, it may be a waste of time to do any further investment of words? Most of us got where we are by our own choices, based on whatever information we had or have. So if we are in a good place, that is great! If we are not in a good place, we probably need some new information? Kiyosaki has the results to back up his opinions.

        Well, it appears that I haven't generated much of an interest. There is another book titled "L.I.F.E." by Chris Brady and Orrin Woodward. Read that. It is a much easier read, and even more pertinent to what is happening today in the world. It is leading up to a brand new information business that is coming soon, where you can really help others, and yourself and generate income at the same time.

            I have worked hard. I mean, I’ve worked really, really hard to be as successful as I can. And I’ve also tasted the awesomeness of success!

              I like working hard. However, I work to live -- not live to work. Having a good work/life balance means everything to me. Life is too short to be stressed out over work.

                How hard to work? I worked as a driller's aid shoveling mud 50 hours a week; I worked behind a baler, tossing hay bales into a truck; I jack-hammered the silt out of the bottom of lead vats. I worked hard as a youth, then as an adult I worked through hurricanes to keep a national computer system up and running; I spent 60 hours a week keeping several different national network backbones up and running before the interwebs made it easy.

                How hard are you asking me to work? Why should I listen to you or read your book?

                  We often told by elders that hard work gets us ahead. That’s true to an extent. if you put effort and focus into something, you’re going to achieve better result.
                  Apart from working hard (putting so much hours into work), we can look for ways to work smart.

                      Evey body will define "working hard' differently. So, here is no one standard answer for it. Me, I work as hard as I need to to make ends meet.

                        hello

                        We really need to work hard for us to earn a big salary if we want to. When we have a job we should do our task and impress our boss that we are a hard worker so that we can prove to them that what they pay for us is worh it.

                          I teach people to make money online and one of the traits that it seems many people lack is the will to work hard. Granted, their are many people who try to lead people to believe that if you click a few buttons on your keyboard all of this money rains from the sky and life is awesome.

                          It doesn't work like that and I think tat can breed misconceptions bout making money online or even offline.

                          I can't tell you how many late night infomercials I've seen in the past where they sell you on the fact that you don't have to do anything.

                          Now, we're all accountable so if we actually believe in those get rich schemes we're as much to blame as the person selling it along.

                          However, that said. You can achieve your goals and what amount of money you want to make if you buckle down, work hard, learn and then work smarter as you grow.

                            True. The key to online success is to do things day after day until you become success!
