Well here I am at 2am writing on my blog. I am sure many people wonder why I write so late and share my thoughts with people around the world. I honestly feel like I am living a life that many people strive to reach everyday of their lives. We all strive for success in everything we do and business is no exception to that rule. However, many people really don’t understand the constant pressure and responsibility that come along with being a successful entrepreneur in today’s world. When you are a business owner you have a huge responsibility to your business, employees, and customers. Sometimes that means working until midnight and beyond to make sure they are all taken care of to ensure future growth, success, and happiness.
The problem with that is when you have a family they require the same things. Your family needs your time, devotion, and obviously you are responsible for them in every way. Sometimes it’s very hard to determine how to balance work, life, and family. I know for me it’s been such a trying event I wrote about it in my book “The Hidden Millionaire” as one of my twelve key principles to being a successful entrepreneur. I have always been a family oriented person. My family has and always will be the most important thing in my life.
For me balancing work and family has been tough, however, I have managed to figure out how to make things work in my world. The thing is when YOU start your own business you must figure out how to make it work in YOUR world. Things in your life (and in mine) are always changing and you must be able to alter your plan to suffice. So to all of you aspiring entrepreneurs remember to think about how to make time for your family while still focusing on your business.
One thing I will always say is that family is more important that money. If I wake up tomorrow and my bank account reads $0.00 who’s going to be there for me? Who’s going to make me smile no matter what? My Family. If you wake up tomorrow and your family isn’t there….. Do you think having money is going to make you smile?
I wish you all success in both business, and balancing work & family.

It’s Friday night and I am just sitting at home reading on the internet. Some people would certainly say that reading on the internet, especially on a Friday night, is a bit weird. I, however, feel like knowledge is power and reading gives me interesting new ideas for businesses and growth as an entrepreneur. Some people think entrepreneurialism is just something that happens, but I feel like you must feed yourself knowledge to realize your true potential as an entrepreneur.
You have to think about your goals in life. Do you want to own your own business? do you want to control your financial future? If so then being an entrepreneur is the way to go especially in todays economy. I really believe if your reading this blog YOU have the potential to run your own business and be successful.
Take some time to educate yourself on business, internet business, and entrepreneurialism today. Take action tomorrow, and take control of your financial future.

In my life I have always strived to learn as much as I possibly can from everyone I meet. I know it sounds crazy because most of the time people are trying to learn from me. This weekend I was at a gathering for one of my good friends from high school to celebrate his engagement and upcoming wedding. It was a reunion for me with many of the people I graduated with from High School in 2001. Everywhere I turned people were asking me what I do, how I do it, and just probing for as much information as they possibly could get from me. One of my close friends made the comment to me “that must get annoying”. As I thought about it alittle further I realized that while it does get annoying sometimes I have a great deal of respect for those people who probe me for answers. They are all trying to learn more to better themselves and for that I commend them. I want to make yet another suggestion to everyone who is ready to learn and prosper as an entrepreneur. Read Cameron Johnson’s book! (www.youcalltheshotsbook.com).
I was so impressed with this book that after reading it I gave it to my mom and told her to read it in her free time. She came to me two days later FINISHED with the book. I was a bit shocked considering my mother is quite a busy lady and this book isn’t thin. She said the story reminded her so much of me that she couldn’t stop reading it. She was even inspired by the book and certainly glad she took the time to read it. It’s not that Cameron Johnson has done anything I haven’t done myself, but it is refreshing to find someone else my age that has accomplished many of the same things I have in my lifetime.
I know I seem like I am on the “Cameron Johnson” fanclub right now. I’m really not but I have a tremendous amount of respect for anyone who has accomplished the things he has accomplished. I also respect the way he lives his life and the decisions he has made in business. One of the biggest things that stood out to me in this book is how through his own actions he teaches you to make ethical decisions in business. So many people these days look for the quickest way to get rich, instead of the right way to become wealthy. Do yourself a favor if you have visited one of my seminars, if you are now using my system, or if your just reading my blog because you follow my story purchase Cameron’s book and read it cover to cover. You will understand why I promote this book so much when your finished.

I have decided that I will attempt to write on my blog every day while I am home for the next couple of weeks. I think this is a great way for me to share my story as well as my experiences with the world. I know many of you read my blog every day hoping either to learn something new about me, or to see the updates for our Hidden Millionaires tour. However, this post is not really going to be about me, my business, or even the Hidden Millionaires tour. This post should help everyone get in the right mindset to be successful, and here is what I mean by that. Two weeks ago I decided to do something I have literally never done before, read a book. Not just any book, but a book by a 23 year old entrepreneur, Cameron Johnson. It is completely unlike me to read a book let alone one about entrepreneurship, but I was absolutely compelled to read his book. The book is pretty straight forward as it clearly outlines his life story and how business has taught him many lessons along the way. When I was reading his book I felt like I was reading my own book “I Net Millions”, which will be released in 2008. His story is so much like mine from the time he bought and sold stocks as a teenager all the way to his internet business empire. The only thing that sets us apart is “why” we ventured into the world of entrepreneurship. I must admit when I began reading the book I felt like I was in for a nice story, but wasn’t going to learn anything I didn’t already know about business. I was completely surprised at the end to find that I actually learned quite a few things from a fellow young entrepreneur that I can now use and implement into my own businesses. I learned a good lesson here, and that is you can learn from anyone if you simply give yourself the chance. I suggest everyone read his book I think you will find the book extremely informative as well as motivational. You can learn more about it at www.YouCallTheShotsBook.com
