Are you building your community?
Here is an interesting article about some former Google employees leaving to build social networking sites.   This was found on the Mashable and it offers an insight into the importance of building your brand or products community.  This continues to be the secret success for online companies as well as traditional companies.  As Seth Godin describes in his book Tribes, once you have a loy...
Memes
Something that I have come to realize is that there is a whole slew of memes that are interconnected in the area of money and success. But these memes are about keeping us from achieving money and success, instead of helping us obtain it. They are very widespread today, and a huge majority of the population is tainted with them. These memes are gladly accepted and replicated because they allow peo...
Thinking Big
I had recently chatted with a Recruitment Director for one of the nation's largest Information Technology firms.  Four months each year she visits college campuses to recruit graduating seniors for her company's junior executive  training  program.  The tenor of her remarks indicated she was discouraged about the attitudes of many people she talked with. "Most days I interview betwe...
Bill Gates – Can he solve the world hunger problem?
Among his many generous efforts to spread good, it looks like one of the richest men is setting his goals on solving world hunger. Recently, Bill Gates called for the second “Green Revolution,” focusing on farmer training and infrastructure in Africa, in addition to new crop varieties and higher yields. “Three-quarters of the world’s poorest people get their food and income by farming s...
Sleep Debt
So here is a repost of an entry I made back on January of 2005 after assessing my 2004-2005 New Year's Resolution.  I'm glad I stumbled across this (and no...this is not a StumbleUpon plug) because I had completely forgot about it until now.  Currently, my life is quite the same, yet very different at the same time.  I don't drink coffee any more.  You will no longer find me smoking a cigaret...
Always Dream Big Enough
There may come a time in your life where you have to make some hard decisions. When you do, half of the people will think you’re crazy and the other half will think you’re right.  You’ll need to make those decisions for yourself and your family when your time comes. I do believe the future is bright and my one hope is that I want anybody that reads to know that inside of you are the see...

The 45 Year Plan

Posted By: Geoff on October 11, 2009 in Finance - Comments: 3 Comments »

The 45 Year PlanHave you ever heard about “The 45 Year Plan”?  The first time I heard of it was about a year ago.  I was just getting started in Network Marketing.

It’s about a graph/report that was done by the U.S. government.  I believe it was the Department Of Labor.  I know of many people in the business that show “The 45 Year Plan” to their prospects.

Today I’m going to explain it to you.  This information will blow you away!

Check this out…here’s what the report shows.  This is about your future and mine. 

Most people, about 95% of men and women in this country, work about 45 years of their lives.  Usually, this takes place between the ages of 20-65….give or take.  Most people start working after high school/college, up to the time they retire.

They spend 45 years of their lives at various jobs, or they’re self employed.  Think about that.

These people (the 95%ers) are your families… your relatives…your neighbors…and your co-workers.  I knew I HAD to change and I did!  Do you want to spend so much time working? 

40 hours per week x 50 weeks per year= 2000 hrs./year
(52 weeks in a year…I’m taking out 2 weeks for vacation)
2000 hours x 45 years= 90,000 hours

This means most of us can expect to spend roughly 90,000 hours of our lives working…can you believe that?  Most people just trade time for money…and the cost of living keeps going up 6-10% each year!

And that’s not all.  When these people retire (the 95%ers), they can expect to live on one-half to one-third of their income.  Is that depressing or what?  Don’t be one of them!  I used to be a 95%er, now I’m a 5%er.  Hopefully you’re on the same path.

If you’re not already involved, get involved in Network Marketing.  There is a 2-5 year plan to help someone become job-optional…you won’t have to ‘work’ anymore!  A 2-5 year plan to make more money than you ever have.  A 2-5 year plan to create a REAL residual income!

Remember this equation…”Money + Time= FREEDOM”!

    The skills of leadership need to address each of the key elements which make up the ‘problem space’ of leadership: (a) oneself, (b) one’s relationship with one’s collaborators, (c) the system in which one is acting and (d) the goals to be achieved by oneself and one’s collaborators in that system.

  • Group vs. Team March 3, 2010
    Groups of people have been around since the as long as I’ve been around… and then some; human nature draws people to one another. Group behavior ranges from encouraging to chaotic, from adversity to success. Many managers are fine with group performance. For me, though, it is increasingly obvious that groups that experience the highest [...]Group vs. Team is […]

  • Destroy bureaucracy! February 11, 2010
    I’ve always hated bureaucracy.  To me, bureaucracy is the enemy. Bureaucracy means waste, slow decision making, unnecessary approvals, and all the other things that kill an organization’s competitive spirit.  I’ve spent many years battling bureaucracy, trying to rid any company I’ve worked with of anything that would make it less competitive. I feel that rid […]
