In this weeks video blog Anthony Morrison talks about the importance of having some down time to spend with your family or doing things you like to do. Work is great and it should never be neglected, but then again neither should you or your family.

I had lunch with a friend today and it sparked my attention to something very important, and that is knowledge is the key to success in every way. We were just discussing a few things here and there about business. This guy sells insurance and simply wants to get “out of the grind” which makes sense. I think everyone wants to get out of the daily grind of going to work, coming home and eating dinner, going to sleep, and waking up and doing it all over again.
Owning your own business can certainly provide that outlet. Business owners do have a responsibility to take care of business whenever and wherever it’s needed. However, there is a sense of accomplishment, relief, and pride that goes along with being a entrepreneur. My friend turned to an MLM to find his way out of the daily grind. When he first mentioned it to me I immediately thought to myself “I don’t do MLMs and I really don’t think they are worth the time or effort people put into them”. I, however, continued to listen to his story. What I saw in him was the drive and determination to make this work and to make this business his ticket out of that daily grind that he hates so much right now.
Within about an hour I had shared with him enough knowledge about the industry and how to build his business while helping others at the same time that he was absolutely elated. I think this guy is going to be really successful. He is now armed with the knowledge it takes to be successful, and the great thing is he did not try to sell me on joining the MLM.
As a side note the company he is now working with is brand new. It’s a very good concept because it’s selling food (or paying an auto ship to get $50 worth of food sent to you each day). Think about how much you spend at the grocery store every month now imagine YOU making money off everyone buying what they already need and buy every single month? Pretty good concept. My suggestion is that everyone should check it out. I am not signed up but I probably will go ahead and take the plunge because it’s only $199 plus I could use the food anyway. He told me about one lady that made $58,000 last year which didn’t seem to bad to me. Anyway if any of you are interested you can get more information here : INFORMATION
Note: That is not my affiliate link. I do not in anyway make money or profit from you signing up with this program. I simply think it is a good idea, and figure I would help this guy out by listing it here on my blog. If you join you will benefit being in his group because ill be helping him help others be successful with the program.
Anyway just remember having great ideas is great, having drive and determination is great, but without knowledge you will simply get nowhere in business. Read books, work with coaches and mentors and learn what you need to know in order to be successful!

For once I think I would like YOUR feedback on a few things. I know I am always giving advice and speaking my mind here on my blog about business, making money, planning, and sometimes even just life in general. Being only 26 years old obviously puts me at a complete disadvantage when it comes to “what you learn in the real world” seeing as how I have been here only 26 short years.
I am facing something new to me and it’s something I don’t think I am very good at right now. Juggling work and personal life has always been a serious issue for me. Since I was 21 years old I have had a huge responsibility on my shoulders as many of you already know. I know I didn’t have the normal college life because I was busy building a business and taking care of my family. I still somehow managed to find time to sneak away and just watch a ball game or play my playstation 3. It was rare but it did happen. I always found just a few minutes for “me” and it was certainly relaxing.
Now at 26 years old I am in a whole new world. So far out of my comfort zone I am amazed I have been able to stay afloat this long. I’ve finally got a serious relationship and now I have serious issues. Now my responsibilities are far greater than they were when I was only 21 years old. I have many businesses I run on a daily basis not to mention the Hidden Millionaires tour that keeps me on the road quite often. This “relationship” I am speaking of is with the girl I talked about in a previous blog. She’s kind, sweet, and really a good match for me overall. However, work seems to be really getting in the way and causing issues.
I’ve always said “make time for those you love” I even wrote about it in my book. I, however, don’t know that you can really ever make “enough” time for people. It seems they always want what they don’t have I guess that is just human nature. You make 30 minutes for them and they want an hour. Make an hour and they want 2 hours. So how do you have a successful relationship? How do you juggle work with personal life?
I suppose if someone had real concrete answers to those questions they would be beyond wealthy from sharing their knowledge with the world. My goal for this year was to maintain a healthy growing relationship, and still expand my businesses. I am striving but struggling each and every day to learn how exactly that is done.
One thing for everyone to remember. Success is found through struggle. Anyone that tells you there is a “shortcut to success” is lieing. Short of winning the lottery I simply don’t know of a shortcut to millions of dollars being in your bank account. Success take time, effort, knowledge, and it requires struggling during the hard times. You can really learn from my situation here even though it may not be exactly like yours.
Realize that it does not matter how successful you are you will always strive and struggle to reach a higher level of success. Wether that be in relationships, business, or both it will always occur. The people that come out on top simply just know how to tackle the hard times and provide solutions to problems. That’s how people become wealthy in America simply find a solution to a problem.
For me my problem is one that I struggle with all the time. When is it time to just STOP working and START having a life with my family, friends, and people I care about? On the flip side when is it time to STRIVE for more success in business? I will continue to hash this out over the rest of this year and I am confident that when I write my 2009 year in review blog I will be telling you exactly how I managed to have a successful relationship as well as more success in business.
Remember. Success comes from solving problems. Problems typically come from hard times or through struggling…. If you are struggling with something in your life right now simply make a commitment to fixing that problem and realizing success.

Looks like the tour will be slowing down just a bit right now. We have run into a few things that must be taken care of here locally that prevent me from traveling at the moment. We will obviously start back up very soon and again go teach people around the country how to make money on the Internet. I hope everyone we have seen this year is excited about making money online and learning more and more as time goes on.
One thing that is very important is people WANT TO LEARN MORE all the time. We have implemented a 2 day training class for everyone that enrolls in our program so we can spend two full days teaching and helping everyone this year. This is something NEW for 2009 and just one of the things we are implementing to make sure we teach and share as much knowledge as we possibly can with everyone we meet around the country.
Our country is in a state of “shock” right now with the current real estate market, stock market volatility, and job loss rate. It’s time that people in this country realize we are a country of “opportunity” not suppression like many other countries around the world. You have the opportunity as a US citizen to do start your own business and use the Internet as your gateway. My advice to everyone doctors, lawyers, nurses, school teachers, mechanics, and those that lost their jobs is to start your own Internet business now! I don’t care if you do that by attending one of my events or by just reading information on the Internet and doing it on your own.
What we do and what we teach is something that works RIGHT NOW. This works in this economy, with this stock market, in this real estate market…… It can work for you to!
