Thanks for being yourself.

But I have just identified a large untapped market on the Net, thanks to reading and listening and looking at what the successful and the rich are doing. I have noticed, in order to be helped/coached/mentored one has to have money already. (Your own rules: Rules 3 and 5) It infuriates me that all people seem to perpetuate this myth: it takes money to make money! If one starts out, I firmly believe that it has to be possible to start with little, make money, then afford more expensive products, and thus grow exponentially. After the 5th guy phoned me from America now, offering their sterling services as mentors/coaches, only to rudely put down the phone after an "okay then dear", because I asked whether I am not coachable without the large downpayment, my spirit was just crushed (only temporarily, though. I will not give up :-) It just seems, that in order to be sponsored, one seems to be entirely judged on size of wallet, connections, personality, age, nationality, on whether one is what is traditionally known as previously disadvantaged, or geographical location. So, I have discovered, that for the most part, the normal struggling person on the web, you are on your own if you don't meet certain criteria, as outlined above. So, should I be able to make it on my own, in spite of, and not because of, help from others, I will make it my mission to teach others how to start up, and then grow each day, one step at a time, using profits made with process one to pay for process two, and so on, without charging them anything up front first. They could pay me later when the profits start coming in. Just think how many people are out there, waiting to benefit from this type of idifferent, innovative help (according to your rules no 9, 27, 28, 32 and 34 but definitively not 3 and 5!) Thank you for listening, and I always look forward to your next outings, products, articles and books. Kind regards to your family, Ursula Hi Yanik, you seem like a very decent guy who has helped hundreds, if not more, people and is well on his way to having a balanced and meaningful life.

But how is someone supposed to live until everything is set up properly? - assuming money will even be constituted from their efforts. I'll look around the site more maybe another entry will elucidate this. I don’t suppose you’ll read this, I realize it’s very easy just to type “never ever work for hourly pay”.

As fledgelings in this industry many of us marvel at the really successful names who seem to only have to mention their name in connection with any product and wham sales by the thousand and income running into the millions when we are struggling and get excited by a $47 sale. I am currently studying with Alex Jeffreys who too has briken ranks so to speak and is telling us the whole story and not just selling us a hot air dream of wealth. After all this is a business like any other one but our shop is a website and our stock consists of downloadable information in the main rather than goods and chattels. Long m1y your prosper Yanik and I hope some of your enthusiasm and ability rubs off on me. Compliments of the season Norman Pascoe Yanik, what can we say, many thanks for your inspiration.
