         <Name>The Law of Abundance</Name>
         <Summary>The Law of Abundance- there is ample money for everyone who knows how to acquire it and keep it.</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;We live in an abundant universe in which there is sufficient money for all who really want it and are willing obey the laws governing its acquisition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You Can Have All You Want&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is plenty of money available to you. There is no real shortage. You can have virtually all you really want and need. We live in a generous universe and we are surrounded on all sides by blessings and opportunities to acquire all we truly desire. Your attitude, of either abundance or scarcity toward money, will have a major impact on whether you become rich or not.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make a Decision&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first corollary of the Law of Abundance says that, &amp;quot;People become wealthy because they decide to become wealthy.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They become wealthy because they believe they have the ability to become wealthy. Because they believe this completely, they act accordingly. They consistently take the necessary actions that turn their beliefs into realities. And you can always tell what your beliefs really are by looking at your actions. There is no other way.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second corollary of this law says: &amp;quot;People are poor because they have not yet decided to become rich.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Decide to become rich and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a title="Get Out of Debt" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=870&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#810081"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Get Out of Debt&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Examine Your Own Thinking&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the book, The Instant Millionaire, by Mark Fisher, the old millionaire asks the boy who has sought his advice about becoming a millionaire, &amp;quot;Why aren't you rich already?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is an important question to ask yourself. However you answer this question will reveal a lot about yourself. Your answers will expose your self-limiting beliefs, your doubts, your fears, your excuses, your rationalizations and your justifications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Review Your Reasons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why aren't you rich already? Write down all the reasons you can think of. Go over your answers one by one with someone who knows you well and ask them for their opinion. You may be surprised to find that your reasons are mostly excuses that you have fallen in love with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whatever your reasons or excuses, you can now get rid of them. The world is full of hundreds and thousands of people who have had far more difficulties to overcome than you could ever imagine, and they've gone on to be successful anyway. So can you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do to apply this law immediately:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, imagine that every experience you have ever had with money contained a special lesson that was designed just for you to help you to ultimately become financially independent. What are the most important lessons you have learned so far?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, analyze yourself honestly and determine your biggest block, your major self-limiting belief that holds you back from becoming more successful financially. Resolve to act from now on as if this block no longer exists.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="Get Out of Debt" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=870&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;Get Out of Debt&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=870&amp;cid=18"&gt;&lt;img alt="Get Out of Debt" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/GetOutOfDebtNow120.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>Three Factors for Financial Success</Name>
         <Summary>What do wealthy people do or have that enables them to accomplish so much more than the average?</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;I believe that these people are successful as a result of what I call leverage. Leverage is the key to maximizing and multiplying your potential for success and financial achievement. Here are three examples of leverage that you can develop to achieve financial independence:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Become an Expert&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, become an expert in your chosen field. Read all the books, take all the courses, listen to all the audio programs. Second, specialize in those areas that are of greatest importance and greatest value to your company or to your customers. And the third key is know your product or service inside out. Aim to be recognized as the industry expert in your field. Remember the person who has the expertise has a far greater contribution to make than the person whose knowledge is just average.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Develop Your Skills&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second type of leverage is skill. The better you are at your job, the more you will be paid. The top 20 percent of salespeople earn as much as ten and fifteen times the average earnings of the bottom 80 percent. There are three keys to developing the leverage of skill. First, make a decision to be the best. Pay any price. Make any sacrifice. Go any distance to become excellent at what you do. Second, engage in continuous improvement. Never allow yourself to become satisfied or complacent at your current level of skill. And third, always strive to exceed the expectations of your customers, your boss, of the people you serve. Always do more and better than you're paid for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I've found the secret of how people become millionaires and I want to share it with you!&lt;br /&gt;Visualize your own millionaire guiding you, step-by-step, sharing the SECRETS of how you can become a millionaire in your life time. Before you know it, you're one of those successful multi-millionaires you've always wanted to become.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Learn the tricks of &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#810081"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Money, Money, Money&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Save Your Money&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third type of leverage is money. Money is a powerful source of leverage and usually follows the development of knowledge and skill in your field. One of the reasons that it takes money to make money is that the accumulation of funds is an essential step in the development of the personal qualities and character that must precede the achievement of financial independence. In other words, you become the person capable of becoming financially independent by accumulating the funds that are necessary for you to achieve it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas on personal leverage into action:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;First, resolve today to become an expert in your chosen field. Set it as a goal, make a plan and work every day to become a little bit better in the most important things you do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, develop the habit of saving money out of every single paycheck. It was once said that, &amp;quot;If you cannot save money, the seeds of greatness are not in you.&amp;quot; The very act of regular saving changes your character and gets you ready to achieve financial independence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="Money, Money, Money" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=442&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;Money, Money, Money&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=442&amp;cid=18"&gt;&lt;img alt="Money, Money, Money" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/MoneyMoneyMoney1201.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>Multilevel Marketing Millions</Name>
         <Summary>Eight Keys to MLM Success</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;If you're looking at a multi-level marketing opportunity, here are eight key considerations. Look for a multi-level business that has, number one, quality products with a good reputation. Never waste your time trying to sell anything that is not of excellent quality. Quality products are the starting point of your success in business. No successful business can ever be built on an average or mediocre product.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look for Competitive Prices&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Number two, look for a company that has prices that compare favorable with the competition. Remember, nobody's going to pay more for your product or service if they can get the same or equivalent somewhere else at a lower price. So check the price comparisons.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Demand a Money Back Guarantee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third thing you look for is a 100 percent unconditional money-back guarantee. In other words, the product must be so good and the company must stand behind it so strongly that they're willing to give a 100 percent refund guarantee on anything that they sell. That's a very good rule for starting and building any business.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Carry a Small Inventory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fourth key in finding a multi-level marketing opportunity is that there should be a small or zero inventory requirement. You should be able to get into a multi-level marketing business with very little money. Not more than a hundred dollars.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Keep Good Records&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fifth requirement is that the company provides prompt delivery and efficient internal bookkeeping. A multi-level marketing business that's well organized will be able to deliver your products within 24 or 48 hours for you to sell, or deliver to your customers. They'll also take very good care of the books and give you accurate financial statements each month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Keep your customers coming back with &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a title="Customers for Life" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=517&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#810081"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Customers for Life&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Seek a Strong Support Organization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sixth thing to look for is a strong support organization. This is perhaps as important, if not more important, than anything else. Look for a support organization that will offer you training, that will give you seminars on product knowledge, that will give you motivation, and give you opportunities for personal and business development. Many people who have started with multi-level marketing companies have gone on to be very successful in their own businesses because of the training they got from the multi-level company. If the company doesn't have a training system, try to find a company that does.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Honesty is the Best Policy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The seventh factor that you require is honesty and integrity. Make sure that the parent company has an impeccable reputation in the marketplace. Remember it has to be a company that you can be proud of. You should never have to make excuses for the company you're working for.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Product Should be Consumable&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Products should be consumable, leading to reorders and repeat business. You should try to sell a product that people use up on a regular basis, so that if they're happy with it, they'll continue to reorder and reorder and reorder. And once you get a customer, sometimes you can have a customer for years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do to put these ideas into action:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, look for a product that you really like, use and enjoy yourself personally. You can only sell something to someone else if your heart is in it. And if your heart is in it you will enjoy using the product yourself. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, look for a product that has something new or special that makes it different and better than any other similar product in the market today. The number one reason that any product fails is because it is not superior to and different from the competition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="Customers for Life" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=517&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;Customers for Life&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=517&amp;cid=18"&gt;&lt;img alt="Customers for Life" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/CustomersForLife_Lg.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>Don't Lose Money!</Name>
         <Summary>W. Clement Stone once said, "If you cannot save money, then the seeds of greatness are not in you."</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;Throughout the history of American enterprise, you've heard the words, &amp;quot;work hard and save your money.&amp;quot; Work hard and save your money. It is the oldest rule for success in America. It's so important, as a matter of fact, that W. Clement Stone once said, &amp;quot;If you cannot save money, then the seeds of greatness are not in you.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Saving is a Discipline&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that saving money is so important? Because saving money is a discipline and any discipline affects all other disciplines in your life. If you do not have the discipline to refrain from spending all the money that you earn, then you are not qualified to become wealthy and if you do become wealthy, you'll not be capable of holding on to it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Law of Attraction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A principle with regard to saving your money is the law of attraction. The law of attraction is activated by saved money. Even one dollar saved will start to attract more money. Here's what I suggest that you do. If you're really serious about your future, go down and open a savings account. Put as much money as you can into it, even if it's only ten dollars. And then begin to collect little bits of money, and every week go down and put something into that account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn more about financial success with &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="The 21 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Money" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=13"&gt;The 21 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Attract More Money Into Your Life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will find that the more you put in that account, the more you will attract from sources that you cannot now predict. But if you do not begin the savings process, if you don't begin putting something away towards your financial independence, then nothing will happen to you. The law of attraction just simply won't work.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Invest Your Money Conservatively&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you begin to accumulate money, here's another rule. Invest the money conservatively. Marvin Davis, self-made billionaire, was asked by Forbes Magazine, &amp;quot;How do you account for your financial success?&amp;quot; And he said, &amp;quot;Well, I have two rules for financial investing.&amp;quot; He said, &amp;quot;Rule number one is, don't lose money.&amp;quot; He said, whenever I'm tempted, whenever I see an opportunity to invest where there's a possibility I could lose it all, I just simply refrain from putting the money in. Rule number two is, whenever I get tempted, I refer back to rule number one. Don't lose money.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Rich Slowly&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George Classon says, in The Richest Man In Babylon, that the key is to accumulate your funds and then invest them very conservatively. One of the characteristics of self-made millionaires, one of the characteristics of old money in America is that it's very cautiously, conservatively and prudently invested.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Don't try to get rich quickly. Concentrate rather on getting rich slowly. If all you do is save ten percent of your earnings, put it away, and let it accumulate at compound interest, that alone will make you wealthy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do to apply these lessons to your financial life:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, open a separate savings and investing account today. From this day forward, put every single dollar you can spare into this account and resolve to never touch it or spend it for any reason.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, whenever you consider any investment of your savings, remember the rule, &amp;quot;Don't lose money!&amp;quot; It is better to keep the money working at a low rate of interest than to take the chance of losing it. Be careful. A fool and his money are soon parted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Learn more about financial success with &lt;br /&gt;&lt;a title="The 21 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Money" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=13"&gt;The 21 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Money&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>The Causes of Money</Name>
         <Summary>Never Worry About Money Again</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;You must aim to reach the point where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. The good news is that financial independence is easier to achieve today than it has ever been before. We live in the richest country at the richest time in all of human history. We are surrounded by more wealth and affluence than ever before. Your job is to get your fair share.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Financial Success Is Not An Accident&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Law of Cause and Effect applies to money as much as to any other subject. This law says that financial success is an effect. As such, it proceeds from certain, specific causes. When you identify these causes and implement them in your own life and activities, you will get the same effects that hundreds of thousands, and even millions of others have gotten. You can achieve whatever level of affluence you really want if you will just do what others have done before you to achieve the same results. And if you don't, you won't. It is as simple as that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Learn how to create the financial independence you desire with &lt;a title="The Way To Wealth System" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=554&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;The Way to Wealth System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Beliefs Determine Your Success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is perhaps no other area where universal laws are more in evidence than in the acquiring and keeping of money. In America today, there are several million men and women who have started with nothing, or deeply in debt, and achieved financial independence. Their attitudes and behaviors have been studied in great depth. We now know the keys to wealth creation better than ever before. And what we know is that your most cherished beliefs on the subject of money will be the primary determinants of how much you acquire and how much you keep over the course of your working lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Primary Aim in Life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your primary aim in life should be the achievement of your own happiness. However, happiness is something that exists naturally in the absence of fears, doubts and negative emotions. One of the factors that most deprives you of happiness is worry about money. And, by the way, when we talk about money worries, we're not referring to your having too much. The problem is virtually always that people feel that they have too little money and their lives are suffering as a result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Build a Financial Fortress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the greatest single fear, the one that causes you more distress and unhappiness than anything else, is the fear of failure. In the area of money, you experience this as the fear of poverty and the fear of loss. Since one of the deepest needs of human nature is security, any threat to your security, real or imaginary, can cause you tremendous stress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can only free yourself from the fears of poverty and failure by achieving a specific level of financial worth and then by building a fortress around it so that you are safe and impregnable. This achievement of financial independence is a key responsibility of adult life. No one else will do it for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do immediately to implement the Law of Cause and Effect in your financial life:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, begin today to implement the causes of financial success in our society. This requires that you spend less, save more, invest carefully and strive toward financial independence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, study other people who are financially successful who have started from little or nothing. Find out what they did to become financially independent and discipline yourself to do the same things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="The Way to Wealth System" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=554&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;The Way To Wealth System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img alt="The Way to Wealth System" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/Way-To-Wealth-200.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>The Causes of Money</Name>
         <Summary>Never Worry About Money Again</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;You must aim to reach the point where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. The good news is that financial independence is easier to achieve today than it has ever been before. We live in the richest country at the richest time in all of human history. We are surrounded by more wealth and affluence than ever before. Your job is to get your fair share.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Financial Success Is Not An Accident&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Law of Cause and Effect applies to money as much as to any other subject. This law says that financial success is an effect. As such, it proceeds from certain, specific causes. When you identify these causes and implement them in your own life and activities, you will get the same effects that hundreds of thousands, and even millions of others have gotten. You can achieve whatever level of affluence you really want if you will just do what others have done before you to achieve the same results. And if you don't, you won't. It is as simple as that.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Beliefs Determine Your Success&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is perhaps no other area where universal laws are more in evidence than in the acquiring and keeping of money. In America today, there are several million men and women who have started with nothing, or deeply in debt, and achieved financial independence. Their attitudes and behaviors have been studied in great depth. We now know the keys to wealth creation better than ever before. And what we know is that your most cherished beliefs on the subject of money will be the primary determinants of how much you acquire and how much you keep over the course of your working lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Learn the keys to wealth creation in &lt;a title="The Way to Wealth System" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=554&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#810081"&gt;The Way to Wealth System&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Primary Aim in Life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your primary aim in life should be the achievement of your own happiness. However, happiness is something that exists naturally in the absence of fears, doubts and negative emotions. One of the factors that most deprives you of happiness is worry about money. And, by the way, when we talk about money worries, we're not referring to your having too much. The problem is virtually always that people feel that they have too little money and their lives are suffering as a result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Build a Financial Fortress&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps the greatest single fear, the one that causes you more distress and unhappiness than anything else, is the fear of failure. In the area of money, you experience this as the fear of poverty and the fear of loss. Since one of the deepest needs of human nature is security, any threat to your security, real or imaginary, can cause you tremendous stress.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can only free yourself from the fears of poverty and failure by achieving a specific level of financial worth and then by building a fortress around it so that you are safe and impregnable. This achievement of financial independence is a key responsibility of adult life. No one else will do it for you.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do immediately to implement the Law of Cause and Effect in your financial life:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, begin today to implement the causes of financial success in our society. This requires that you spend less, save more, invest carefully and strive toward financial independence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, study other people who are financially successful who have started from little or nothing. Find out what they did to become financially independent and discipline yourself to do the same things.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="The Way to Wealth System" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=554&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;The Way to Wealth System&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=554&amp;cid=18"&gt;&lt;img alt="The Way to Wealth System" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/Way-To-Wealth-200.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>The Four D's of Financial Success</Name>
         <Summary>Start From Nothing and Become Financially Independent</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;More than eighty percent of self-made millionaires in America began with nothing or in many cases, less than nothing. I can certainly relate to that because when I was growing up and right into my early 30s, I never had any extra money with which to start a fortune. It seemed to me that there was always enough, if not more than enough bills, to absorb every penny I earned. I was always in debt.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Be Ready for Your Opportunity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And even if a great business opportunity did come along, I wouldn't have been able to do anything with it. As I began studying financial success and &lt;a title="21 Success Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=17&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;self-made millionaires&lt;/a&gt;, I noticed that almost everyone around me was in pretty much the same boat. The idea of becoming really wealthy was a distant dream with very little possibility of coming true. You may be in the same situation, with more bills than money or assets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Look at the Numbers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The statistics are a little scary. Of 100 people who reach retirement age, according to insurance industry statistics, only one will be wealthy. Four out of the hundred will be financially independent; fifteen will have some savings put aside. And the other 80 will be dependent on pensions, still working or broke - this after a lifetime of well-paid work in the most affluent society in human history. Now why does this happen?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Become financially independent with &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a title="Million Dollar Habits" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=522&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#810081"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Million Dollar Habits&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why People Retire Poor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are two main reasons why people retire poor. First, they never decide to retire rich. They wish and hope and pray, but they never make a firm, unequivocal decision that they're going to do it. Second, even if they do decide to retire rich, they procrastinate until it's too late. They always have some good reason for putting it off.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Start With Desire and Decision&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you sincerely want to beat the odds, to achieve financial independence and retire wealthy, there are four critical steps that you must take, all starting with the letter D.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first step is desire. You must want it badly enough to make an unshakable commitment and to be willing to make sacrifices. The second D is decision. You must make a decision right now to do whatever is necessary, to be willing to pay any price, go any distance, to achieve your goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Practice Determination and Discipline&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third D is determination, which is to keep at it until you succeed in spite of all the problems and obstacles you will experience. And the fourth D is &lt;a title="The Miracle of Self-Discipline" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=531&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;discipline&lt;/a&gt; - the discipline to master yourself to develop the habits necessary for achieving financial independence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Those are the four Ds. Desire, Decision, Determination and Discipline. And you can measure how successful you're going to be in the future by measuring how well you're doing in each of those on a scale of one to ten.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, make a decision, right now, that you are going to be financially independent, no matter what obstacles you face in the short term. Then write it down, make a plan and start to work on it every single day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, resolve in advance that you will persist in the face of every setback or obstacle you face. You will never give up. You will keep on moving forward until you finally achieve your goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="Million Dollar Habits" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=522&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;Million Dollar Habits&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=522&amp;cid=18"&gt;&lt;img alt="Million Dollar Habits" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/Million-Dollar-Habits-1201.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>Think Like a Millionaire</Name>
         <Summary>Attitude is Everything</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;The most important attitude for financial success is long-term thinking. Successful people think a long way into the future and they adjust their daily behaviors to assure they achieve their long-term goals. In a longitudinal study done at Harvard University in the 50s and 60s, they studied the reasons for upward socio-economic mobility. They were looking for factors that would predict whether or not an individual or family was going to move upward and be wealthier in the future than in the present.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They studied factors like education, intelligence, being born into the right family, or having the right connections. In every case, they found individuals who had been born with every blessing in life who did poorly. They also found individuals who had been born or come to this country with no advantages at all who had been extremely successful. What was the distinguishing factor?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They finally determined that there was only one key attitude that mattered. They called it &amp;quot;Time Perspective.&amp;quot; Time perspective refers to the amount of time that you take into consideration when planning your day to day activities and when making important decisions in your life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gain time perspective with &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a title="Time Power Package" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=515&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#810081"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Time Power Package&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time Perspective&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People with long-time perspective invariably move up economically in the course of their lifetimes. When you spend weeks, months and years developing your skills and ability and expanding your experience in order to be successful, you have long-time perspective. The average professional person has a time perspective of 10, 15 and 20 years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Begin to see that everything that you are doing today is part of a long-time continuum, at the end of which you are going to be financially independent or financially unfortunate. People with short-time perspective think only about fun and pleasure in the short term. They have what economists call &amp;quot;The inability to delay gratification.&amp;quot; They have an irresistible tendency to spend every single penny they earn and everything that they can borrow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you develop long-time perspective, you develop the discipline to delay gratification and to save your money rather than spending it. The combination of long-time perspective and delayed gratification puts you onto the high road to financial independence.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, here are two things you can do to develop the attitudes of financially successful people:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, think long-term about your financial life. Decide exactly how much you want to be worth five years, ten years and twenty years from today. Write it down. Make a plan. Take action on your plan every single day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, develop the ability to delay gratification. Instead of buying something on impulse, put off buying decisions for a day, a week or even a month. Decide in advance to &amp;quot;think it over&amp;quot; before you buy anything. This can change the way you spend money almost immediately.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="Time Power Package" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=515&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;Time Power Package&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=515&amp;cid=18"&gt;&lt;img alt="Time Power Package" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/Time-Power-Package-LG1.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>

         <Name>The Law of Capital</Name>
         <Summary>The Law of Capital - your most valuable asset, in terms of cash flow, is your physical and mental capital, your earning ability.</Summary>
         <Description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Your Earning Ability&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may not even be aware that, unless you are wealthy already, your ability to work is the most valuable asset that you have. By utilizing your earning ability to its fullest, you can bring thousands of dollars each year into your life. By applying your earning ability to the production of valuable goods and services, you can generate sufficient money to pay for all the things that you want in life. The amount of money that you are paid today is a direct measure of the extent to which you have developed your earning ability so far.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use Your Time Well&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first corollary of the Law of Capital says: &amp;quot;Your most precious resource is your time.&amp;quot; Your time is really all you have to sell. How much time you put in and how much of yourself you put into that time, largely determines your earning ability. Poor time management is one of the major reasons for poor productivity and underachievement in every industry in America. It is the number one problem for both managers and salespeople in every field.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Learn to use your time well with &lt;/em&gt;&lt;a title="Time Management for Results" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=210&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#810081"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Time Management for Results&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Invest Yourself Carefully&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second corollary of the Law of Capital says: &amp;quot;Time and money can be either spent or invested.&amp;quot; One of the smartest things that you can do is to invest three percent of your earnings every month back into yourself on personal and professional development, on becoming better at the most important things you do. In fact, if you just invested as much in your mind each year as you do in your car, that alone could make you wealthy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Invest one hour of your time reading in your field every day. Listen to audio programs in your car. Attend every course that can advance you in your career. Get personal and professional coaching to help you to get the very best out of yourself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Get Better At the Things You Do&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is nothing that will give you a bigger and better &amp;quot;bang&amp;quot; for your buck than reinvesting a part of your time and money back into your capability to earn even more. All wealthy and successful Americans have learned this sooner or later, and all poor and unhappy Americans are still trying to figure it out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Increase Your Return on Life&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The third corollary of the Law of Capital says: &amp;quot;One of the best investments of your time and money is to increase your earning ability.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The purpose of corporate strategic planning is to increase &amp;quot;return on equity&amp;quot; or ROE. This requires organizing and reorganizing corporate activities so that the company is earning a higher return on the capital invested in the organization. In your work life, your personal equity is your mental and emotional capital. Your job then is to earn the highest possible return on your human capital, to increase your &amp;quot;return on energy.&amp;quot; This way of viewing yourself must become a key part of your attitude throughout your work life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Action Exercises&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are two things you can do to apply this law immediately:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, take a list of your output responsibilities, the things you do that represent accomplishments, not activities. Examine the list and rank the tasks by priority, on the basis of the value of the work to your company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Second, take a list of all the things you do, day in and day out. Take this list to your boss and ask him or her to rank your tasks in terms of how valuable he or she considers them to be. Then resolve to work on your most valuable tasks every minute of every day.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a title="Time Management for Results" href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=210&amp;cid=18" target="_blank"&gt;Time Management for Results&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.briantracy.com/catalog/product.aspx?pid=210&amp;cid=18"&gt;&lt;img alt="Time Management for Results" hspace="0" src="http://www.briantracy.com/images/products/originals/Time-Management-Results-120.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</Description>
