Your Very Own Stimulus Package


You already have a stimulus package.  It’s between your ears and it’s called your mind.  A stimulated mind is the most powerful thing that we possess.  Every single man, woman, and child possesses all they need to become a massive success.

Unfortunately our political leaders rather do everything they can to stop you from using your powerful mind.  Instead of stimulating us, the governments of the world, with the help of the news media, are doing everything possible to make you and me dependent on them instead of using our own “stimulus package” to create all the wealth and prosperity that we need.

My friend, you have all you need.  God did not short-change you.  He gave you all you need to succeed, but you are made to believe that you can’t make it, you can’t do it; you need someone else to do it for you.  You need to blame others for your failure in life.  At least that is what “they” want you to believe.

Don’t fall for stimulus package of the U.S. or any other world government.  You must take charge of your own life and bear responsibility for your own stimulus.  I get all the stimulus that I need from the Bible and other great books.  I fill my mind with what is possible, not what can’t be done.  The Bible says, “All things are possible to the one who believes.”  Henry Ford said, “Whether you believe you can or can’t, you are right.” 

Are you struggling?  Good!  At least you are doing something.  Struggling, to the right person, causes seeking and seeking results in finding!  As I have said many times, the secret is not to give up.  Stimulate your mind and keep it stimulated.  You will not stimulate your mind watching news reports, reading news papers, watching or listening to anything that will cause worry, doubt, or fear.

Fill you mind with what is possible.  Read and listen to good material.  You can find great teaching programs from Nightingale Conant or other similar educational outlets.  There is plenty on the Internet and bookstores like Barnes and Noble to stimulate your marvelous mind.  Don’t wait for others to make your life work for you.  Your can and must take charge to design the life you desire.

The Tale of Two Economies


There are two ways to experience the life that God has so graciously given to us:  Toil and hoard according to the World’s economy or trust and give according to God’s economy.

The curse that God put on man after the fall due to Adam’s disobedience was that man would have to toil and sweat for everything he obtained.  The earth was cursed and would not yield a harvest without man’s effort in labor.  As a result, mankind has toiled, labored and tried to hoard whatever they could out of fear of doing without.

Mankind has trusted credit to relieve the pain of toil through instant gratification. The result is that the vast majority of American’s and others in the world have become slaves of credit.  We are enticed to buy more and made to believe that we will be able to get out of the debt cycle, but it never happens.  We cannot get out of debt as long as we keep putting things on credit.  Credit cards have become the god of the typical family on earth today.  We have been enticed to trust Visa and Master Card instead of God who is the source of all wealth.

I am happy to report that there is another economy.  We do not have to stay in the earth cursed world economy.  We can enter into God’s economy.  To enjoy God’s economy one must first stop trusting in credit, bankers, jobs or any other source of supply.  God alone is the source of all wealth.  It is He who gives power to get wealth.  When we put God first, that gives Him the permission to instruct us on how to obtain the wealth we seek.  He will not send money from Heaven, but He will give you connections to the right people and circumstances to obtain wealth.

Also, you must learn to let go of what you have.  Don’t hang on to your last dollar bill as though it can get you out of debt.  Give what you have as a seed to obtain the harvest you seek.  If you give $100, don’t expect to get $1,000 in the mail.  However, you can expect an idea or hunch that could produce thousands or even millions of dollars.  When you give to a worthy cause, such as feeding the poor, promoting the gospel, or helping someone in need you are engaging a spiritual law that says, “Give and it shall be given unto you.”  This law is a sure as gravity.  However, when you give, commit that which you give to God for His blessing.  The giving or your seed gives Him a way to multiply it.

There is so much to say about this matter, however, the purpose of this blog is to offer help to network marketers, not give Bible lessons.  I would love to let go, but maybe I will do so in another way.  As network marketers, we must learn to trust in the living God and commit our businesses and all we have to Him.  When we do so, we give Him permission to bless us.  He will not force His way into our life.  If you want to do it the toil and hoard way, He will not stop us.  But, if we want to do it His way, He will certainly bless us.

There are two economies:  The world’s cursed economy and God’s economy.  Which one will you put your trust in?  As for me and my house, we will put our faith in God’s economy.  I hope you will too.

Seek and Think!


I know you probably don’t want to hear it, but we are in for some very tough times.  People are getting laid off and retirement funds are disappearing into thin air.  The Federal Reserve is printing money like there is not tomorrow, and our government is taking over the banking system and private enterprises.  In light of this here are a couple of options each one of us has:

1.     Complain, murmur, take more drugs and drink more alcohol

2.     Seek and think your way through this disaster

Seek and think you ask?  It sounds too simple, but yes, now is the time to seek.  Now is the time for the millionaire within you to truly come forth.  95% or more of the world population have been marching, unaware, toward the mountain of debt we are now facing.  This mountain is huge and unmovable and most will just give up and look to the world governments to bail them out at the foot of this gigantic mountain. 

Most will just pitch a tent at the foot of this mountain and sing the blues.  Little do they know that on the other side of the mountain is a city of gold!  On the other side of defeat is victory!  On the other side of failure is success!  In order to get to the other side you just have to THINK.  You just have to seek a way or ways to go through or over or around the mountain.

My wife and I travel to West Virginia regularly to visit family.  We have to go through Wheeling.  There are two ways to get through Wheeling:  Go through a mountain on I-70 or go up and around the mountain on I-470.  There was a time when neither route existed.  However somebody with a seeking heart and a thinking mind came up with a way to get to the other side opening an easy way to the east.

Right now, you can begin to seek for a way to get through these hard economic times.  Right now you can put on your thinking cap and use your God-given mind to think of a way to make it through, successful, this seemingly impossible time.

Do not look to the government.  In my opinion our politicians are abject failures.  They are creating a socialist welfare state at the expense of achievers.  You must take matters into your own hands with the help of the Almighty God.  God and man, when paired together, make an unbeatable team.  He will give you the wisdom and knowledge that you will need to get through this man-made disaster we are finding ourselves in. 

The Bible says, “Keep on asking, keep on seeking, and keep on knocking.”  It goes on to say that those who keep on asking will receive and those who keep on seeking will find and those who keep on knocking, the door will be opened to them.  I don’t know about you, but I would rather trust the Bible than CNN and MSNBC.  All the media does is spew negative defeatism throughout the earth.  This just puts people in the state of fear, and according to the Bible, fear has torment!

My advice, don’t look at the mountain as something that cannot be overcome, rather look at it as something to be defeated!  To defeat it, seek the One who knows how to defeat it.  That’s just my advice!
