$25 Made My Dreams Come True

It is hard to believe that $25 could change my life and make my dreams come true. One day, in late December of 2011, I spent the best $25 I ever spent. I had recently heard about a new company called Empower Network. An acquaintance of mine had joined Empower the previous month. And because I trusted the business judgements and leadership qualities of this individual, I decided to take a look into this company myself.

I had never had any success in marketing. In fact, I had never made a dime in any of the several previous home business opportunities I had attempted. And because my wife and I had lost thousands of dollars with these other opportunities, $70,000 to be precise, I decided to "test the waters", with this Empower Network venture. I began this new business opportunity with a $25 investment of my money. It was the best $25 I ever spent. It has made my dreams come true.







Well, I began my new endeavor with no money to advertise or to use to acquire any type of leads. I didn't have a list. But, I had dreams. So, I went to work in social media. In our first week we had three sales. I was already covering my business costs and making money, right away.

Since that time we have had dozens and dozens of sales and made tens of thousands of dollars. Every sale brings us closer to our ultimate goals and dreams. A lot of the money we make is reoccurring, residual income that comes to us EVERY month. My income increases every month, often every week, and even daily. I was able to quit my job as a postmaster, which was one of my dreams. My wife was able to quit her job. And we bought our RV with cash and hit the road. This was another one of our dreams. So, if you have dreams, needs, goals in life, or just plain want to radically change your life, we have just the thing for you. It's the thing that makes dreams come true.

Empower Network is a marketing training company. Empower Network provides training and tools for the experienced marketer or the common man newbie marketer to develop an online business or to grow their current endeavors. It is a leadership factory. It is a place where you can learn to make lots of money to live the life of your dreams. Most people have found the Empower Network so lucrative that they either put their primary business on the back burner or abandon it completely.

I am happy to say our dreams are finally becoming our reality. The biggest question in our life is no longer; Is this thing going to work? Because we finally found something that really does work with a community of people dedicated to helping each other succeed. The biggest question in our life now is; how much money will I make this month? Or which one of our dreams are we going to start to live today?







I'm not a strange case. Empower Network has thousands of people who have never made a dime online before now. We have success story after success story. I encourage you to invest $25 into yourself today. It is a smart investment. It is the best $25 I ever spent. Who says money can't buy dreams? I bought mine with $25.

How To Have Success, Money, and Have Your Dreams Come True

I have had most of my dreams come true in life.I have learned how to have success, money, and how to have my dreams come true. It is a true saying: "Where there is a will, there is a way".

When I was in first grade my parents thought it would be nice if I learned how to play clarinet. It was

one of their dreams. Over time it became one of my dreams.

Our elementary school in Altamont, NY gave free lessons and had a school band.

I remember my first school concert. My parents, aunt and uncle, and grandmother came to watch me.

I sat there and pretended to be playing as the band played its songs.

It wasn't long before the music teacher told my parents that I would NEVER be able to play the clarinet.


He refused to waste his time trying to teach me.

Years past and I continued to work with the method book I had been given and the silver plated clarinet they make lamps out of now.

One of my dreams was to play clarinet.

I got to junior high school in Hampton, NH and decided to join the band.

My parents couldn't afford private lessons. So, I learned what I could from the band director and continued to teach myself how to play the clarinet.

I remember a concert we had at that school. I had a solo in it playing "Swan Lake".

When I went to play I couldn't get one note to come out of the clarinet.

 I think I was so scared up on that stage that my windpipe of my throat was closing or something.

I raised my hand and told the band director my clarinet wouldn't play.

He came over, took the clarinet, played up and down a variety of notes, and told me the horn was fine.

We started the song and we got to my solo. It was horrible. Squeeking, wrong notes, a total unraveling disaster of a performance.

When my parents and I headed home that night I was crying, ashamed, and saying that I would never be able to play the clarinet.

My dad looked at me and said, " You can do anything you set your mind to do."

That summer I practiced all the time and it was time to go to high school.

I got to the high school band at Winnacunnet High School, Hampton, NH.

It was the 4th best high school band in the country.

 It was directed by Stan Bednarz from the New England Conservatory of Music.

He pulled out a music chart the second week I was there called "Beguine for Band".

 It was in the key of 7 sharps and had began with a series of sixteenth note runs with the clarinets.

It was a train wreck. Stan listened to us play, or try to play, the music one by one - individually.

 When my turn came I played all the notes correct and in perfect time.

From that day on, and for the next four years, I was the first seat, first clarinet of the band. My dreams had started to come true.

Stan told me I needed to learn saxophone to play in his band and to be able to play professionally.

We still couldn't afford private lessons. So I taught myself to play saxophone too.

Four years later I graduated from high school and was traveling around Europe representing the United States for all the international band competitions and dignitary functions abroad. I was playing for presidents, kings, and queens. My dreams of playing in front of thousands at a time and traveling as a professional had come true.

I was playing with the elite US Army Band Europe.



There was one night I had 5 sax solos out of 8 songs our stage band performed at an international stage band competition.

When I finished playing my ad lib solo in "MacArthur Park", I received a standing ovation from 14,000 people for minutes.

You are never given dreams without also being given the power to make it come true.

The achievement of your goals and dreams are assured the moment you commit yourself to them.

If you have the desire, you have the power to obtain your dreams.

You can have anything you want in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it.

 It doesn't matter whether you are pursuing money, success, or personal goals and dreams.

Your dreams can come true if you pursue them.

If you have dreams and the will to achieve them, then we have the way for you to live the life of your dreams.







Remember: "Where there is a will, there is a way." That's me up front with the sax.

Never give up on your dreams. If you want them bad enough, you can have your dreams come true. I have had many achievements in my life. Many of them have been in the face of people saying it could not be done. Never allow discouragement. Your desire and determination to achieve dreams is the fuel to obtain them.

I have many of my dreams in life coming true right now. If you would like to know how I am achieving them and have the freedom in my life to write articles like this, click here.

How To Build A Successful Internet Business

The internet is the place to be these days in the marketing world. Universally, ordinary people like you and me are learning how to leverage the internet and build an internet business. There are many home businesses springing up on the internet. But very few people are successful with them. I am going to tell you why. And I am about to give you the steps to building a successful internet  business.

 

Step 1 – Have A Clear Intention
You may feel this step is silly. Anyone who starts an internet business is obviously doing it to make money. But the specific why and vision of what a person(s) is intending to build for an internet business is the fuel that will drive, motivate, and sustain people through the struggles and obstacles of becoming successful. Building an internet business can be frustrating. So,why have you made a decision to build an internet business? Specifically, what are you going to do with the money you make from this business? Are you going to quit your job? Travel? Travel to where? Spend time with your family? What are you going to do with the family?
Make a picture in your mind of a perfect day. Look at it and see what you are doing and how you feel. Cement this picture in your mind and let it become the goal of your life. This will be the driving force for building a successful internet business. Those who have a clear understanding of the why they are building a business will always be much more successful than those who are primarily focusing on the how. All the highly successful people who have an internet business that I have listened or read about say this. To build a successful internet business, you must first clearly establish your why.
Step 2 - Inspiration
Inspiration is a big key to personal success. No matter what you are intending to do or perfect, there was someone who has inspired you. You saw someone and you told yourself, "I want to be able to do that". Or you said, "If they can  do that, I can too." In either case, you became inspired by someone's example. It is the same with building an internet business. You are inspired by someone or a mentor and you make the firm decision to do the same. This is important. Inspiration is like the speed needed to get a plane to take off a runway. You  can be on the right road, and in a great vehicle, but you need enough speed to get up and fly high i the sky. The correct inspiration will give you the speed you need to take off in your business. If you don't have an inspiring story of a friend or acquaintance, find one. Inspiration is a key to becoming successful in an internet business.
Step 3 - Leadership

Your leadership is an integral part of tour success in an internet business. You must become a leader. First, establish yourself as the leader of your own life. Take personal responsibility for where you are in your life. Starting leading yourself to what you want to be and where you want to be. Develop self - initiative, self - discipline, and self - control. Others will follow a person who has taken leadership of their own lives. You must be a leader to yourself and others to be able to lead and manage an internet business. You asking people to listen and follow your advice in an internet business. People will only do this if they perceive you as a leader that can lead them from where they are to where they want to be.

Step 4 – Promotional Activity
Promotional activity is the most important thing to do with an internet business. You should be doing promotional activity within the first hour you begin an internet business. Too often, people get bogged down on how to do this and that and consequently do not get to their income producing activities. At least 80% of your time and energy should be spent on promotional activity. Think about this analogy. If you opened a sandwich shop , what is the most important thing to do,  put up a sign to let people know you are in business or what the place settings look like? Obviously, people need to know you are in business and you have to get them inside your shop. It is the same with an internet business. You must focus on getting people to your front door. You can worry, adjust, and learn about place settings and how things look as you learn and grow. But if you do not get people to know about your business, you will be out of business soon.
Successful people in an internet business get moving quickly and make the necessary adjustments along the way. People who fail often do so because they want to know all the answers before they get in motion. This is an industry that is constantly changing and innovative. You must always be learning and adjusting. It is important not to get stuck with what worked yesterday but is not working today. Never become immobilized by a new thing. Promotional activity should ALWAYS be your number one priority in an internet business.







Building an internet business is a smart decision. It allows you to have control of your life. If you want to have big results, then take massive action. Take responsibility for your life and your business. You will have to step out of your comfort zone and be willing to do what others do not want to do. But the result will be that you will be able to live a life that others only dream about living. An internet business can produce the income to live the life of your dreams. There is a better way to make money than going to a job, start an internet business.
