We’ll I’ve got a pretty special post for you today… In fact, it may be the single most important message I’ve ever produced, so please stop what you’re doing and read this.
Last week, I took a little survey and asked if you’d like to hear about some of my economic insights and resources, in addition to the usual marketing strategies.
This wasn’t an easy decision, because I’m probably breaking every rule in the book right now when it comes to marketing…
Well at least every rule but one, which is the rule I’ve built my entire business upon… “Be willing to give without want, and you will get”.
And the bottom line is that you voted 8 to 1 in favor of getting this information, so I’m here to deliver for you today…
Now before we begin, I have a favor to ask of you…
If you haven’t taken a moment to reflect on what’s happening in Haiti and make a charitable donation, please stop and do that now through the Red Cross. (Thank you!)
Alright, On To The Economy…
So as I mentioned last week, I’ve been a voracious student of what’s been going on financially since the beginning of 2008, which gave me a few months of “heads-up” time before the crash of Lehman Brothers on Sept 15th, 2008.
For the last two years, I’ve literally spent 95% of my free time reading and researching what’s happening, and why its happening, in order to position myself to prosper in the future.
Make no mistake, this economic event is NOT over. Not by a long shot…
What we’ve witnessed over the last two years is nothing more than an incredibly desperate attempt by the government and Wall Street, to protect the “status-quo”… To keep the fantasy going as long as they can.
As sure as 1+2 = 3, it is a mathematical fact that the economic world we’ve become accustomed to will come to an end. (Sooner, rather than later).
That day may come next week, next year, or in the next 10 years. My friends and I don’t know when the music will stop, only that it will.
And when it does, two groups of people will be created… The extremely wealthy, and the extremely poor. The comfortable, and the uncomfortable. There will be no middle ground.
But This Post Isn’t About Doom And Gloom.
It’s about prosperity and opportunity.
I’m not hiding in a cave, or building a bomb shelter.
I couldn’t be more excited about this economic upheaval, because times of great change, are times of great opportunity.
In fact, I’m working more than ever on my business, and I’m spending more money than ever on its future. I’m buying courses, going to seminars, and for the last 6 months, I’ve been spending $25,000 PER MONTH for business growth coaching.
The training we have in development will set a new bar for excellence and value in this industry, (Think “Alpha Networker”), and I just finished consulting on a completely new marketing system for my primary opportunity, that will usher in a new level of growth and success.
So as you can see, I am focused on BIG growth, but I am also diligent and attentive, because times of change like this are times of opportunity for those who are prepared to take advantage of it.
And in a strange way, this post is self-serving for me, as it allows me to alleviate myself of any guilt or pity that may result from watching my friends or family suffer the consequences of this tidal wave of economic change.
From This Moment Forward, “You Can’t Say That I Didn’t Tell You.”
Now the responsibility rests 100% on your shoulders, and I will not take pity on those who did not act on it out of laziness, and who missed this opportunity because of it.
After being exposed to the information below, I vowed to be on this winning side of this change, which has prompted my tire-less study of financial history since.
You get to choose which side YOU end up on, should you take that responsibility into your own hands. If you’re lazy and do not choose, history will place you on the losing team by default.
So in this post, I’m going to bring you up to speed, and share some of what my prove to be, the most valuable information you’ve ever received…
- Mike
This Journey Began Two Years Ago, (and has been quite profitable), Thanks To The Following…
1: Robert Kiyosaki’s book, “Rich Dad’s Prophecy“. Written in 2002 (!!!), Robert basically called the collapse of 2008, six years before they happened.
This book will give you an excellent bird’s-eye-view of what’s happened, why it happened, and what’s still to come. (And yes, there’s still much ahead in the coming years). This is the book that “woke me up” to what was about to happen, and spurred me into massive action.
2: My good friend and financial mentor, Kip Herriage from the www.VRALetter.com. Kip’s stock portfolio has finished up 100%+ annually for the last 8 years, which is insane. The guy is ridiculously good when it comes to the market, and calling critical market changes days before they happen.
3: Through Kip and Robert, I became very good friends with Michael Maloney, author of Rich Dad’s “Guide to Investing In Gold and Silver”
Michael’s book came out about two years ago, and it’s AN AWESOME, easy to read piece that will teach you the history of money, fiat currencies, precious metals, and the Federal Reserve.
As Robert would say, “Once you understand history, you can accurately predict the future”. Michael’s book will teach you the history in a quick, fun, and easy-to-read manner, so you can see the future.
I visit Michael’s site, www.GoldSilver.com several times a day to comb through the news articles on the home page.
I gave the head of every household in our family a copy of this book for Christmas, so he could take responsibility for his family’s future. (Ironically, not a single one of them has found the time to read it yet).
4: www.BusinessInsider.com. This is the best news site in the world as far as I’m concerned, and the only one I read.
5: Finally, I just found these videos through a friend last week. The information wasn’t new to me, but I think it’s a GREAT resource if you’re brand new to what’s going on. http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse
By the time you watch the entire free video series, you’ll know more about what’s happening, why, and what’s to come in the future, than 99.99% of the world.
So there’s a great “getting started” list for you.
For the most part, they all say the same thing, because as I mentioned before, the outcome of today’s economic events are inevitable. Anyone seeking the truth, looks at the same events, the same numbers, and sees the same future.
It’s not too late, but the clock is about an hour from midnight. Arming yourself with this knowledge today, will ensure a prosperous and profitable tomorrow.
To your future,
Mike Dillard
P.S. Please leave your thoughts below, and Re-Tweet if you’d like to share this message with others…
Thanks Mike,
This insight is right on! The Prophecy is an excellent book. I read it a few years back and now it totally makes sense. I have recently listened to a CD of The Creature From Jekyll Island & it has changed my thinking completely.
I had been like an ostrich with my head buried in the political, financial & economical “sand”, but no more!
Now I surround myself with like minded, forward thinking individuals that focus on prospering when others are panicking!
I appreciate your input!
Excellent resources, Mike. Thanks.
Hi Do a lot of advertising but it doesn’t work very well. Thank you
for caring about people and willing to help people.
As we think, so shall we be. Tony Robbins says raise your standards, develop some disciplined rituals, create and execute a plan of action, count one’s blessings and join the mindset of abundance and compassion. Or something like that! See it, Believe it, Achieve it! There will always be those who don’t dare to imagine a brighter future but are limited by their own thoughts. Treasures are always found in the folds of the unfoldment – just takes a bit of discovery and perseverance.
Thanks for this reminder and the links.
prosperous blessings,

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the above information. FINALLY, people are waking up to all of this! It started in 1913 with the take over of our country, without a single shot fired, by the Federal Reserve Act, and in that same year, the supposed ratification of the 16th Amendment, as well. Another good DVD to watch is America: Freedom To Fascism, by the late Aaron Russo. Also listen to Alex Jones. He’s on the radio right there in Austin, TX. His websites are Infowars.com and PrisonPlanet.TV Until people know what is really happening, they run from side to side–Democrat or Republican–and don’t realize they are both really controlled by the same groups.
Thanks for the awesome insight Mike.
I have been following Robert Kiyosaki since Rich Dad Poor Dad and love his teachings. I read his book “Guide To Investing in Gold and Silver” about a year ago and have been getting my hands on as much silver as I possibly can.
Thanks again for all the value you give to this industry.
-Brandon
Thank you Mike for this getting started list.
I’ve just ordered books from amazon.
The economy changed, rules have changed, everything is changing around us.
Regards
I missed buying gold at $600 after Robert predicted it to hit $1000. I didn’t act, that will not happen again. Thanks for getting my head out of my …
Once again, you continue to raise the bar. Thanks for everything that you share with the community. This is not going against the REAL rules of marketing….giving without want. Remember, we ASKED for it!
Rock on, bro.
Shecky
So, glad to see you come out with a Blog.
Thank you for your input as always!
Prosperity and Wealth to all!
Warmly yours,

Great advice! Thanks for sharing. Another great website I would recommend to know what’s really going on in the world is:
http://www.infowars.com
It’s not corporate-controlled media, it’s real news as it really happened. No media bias and BS.
Thank you Mike for your leadership and wonderful products!
With much love and gratitude,

It is frigtening because I believe it is a spiritual battle when people want to make the poor poorer and the rich richer. During the election, there were people so afraid because they said Obama wanted to spread the wealth around. That is the American dream and these people are trying to destroy America. They feel if people are poor and helpless they can enslave them and control them. I believe in changing the whole economic model to one of sustainability rather than constant growth which inevitably leads to downturns. Corporations should exist to create great products and services and provide jobs at a sustainable level. Not the products constantly getting smaller and the price constantly going up. The new millionaires that care, will start implementing new models and practices that will blow everybody away and change the world for the better.
Thanks so much Mike! Regardless if people want to hear it, they NEED it! It is not the time to stick our heads in the sand and just hope it all works out. I applause your courage to post this stuff to your audience even if it does seem like a taboo off subject.
Thanks for the information Mike. I had the good fortune to wake up to the matrix of debt 6 years ago and have also been studying our “government” (which is actually a corporation), debt, adhesion contracts, trusts, what money really is, and how to find remedy. You’re right, what has happened so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Those that are informed and have a strategy will prosper. Those that don’t, and that will be the majority, will suffer the slings and arrows of ignoring the warning signs.
Yours in Privacy, Freedom and Wealth,
Joseph Cotton
Thanks for the additional help, Mike.
I appreciate it.

I could see an economic crisis coming too (my father was made redundant in the 80s market crash and I learned a lot from him) and in 2007 I encouraged my boyfriend to consolidate his nearly $20,000 in debts and pay them off – He hated me for a year! But a mere 11 months later he was completely debt free and we had $20,000 in our savings account.
Unfortunately I never prepared my attitude for the economic crisis and as we went through three redundancies in 2009, lost our money and became homeless I wasted all my energy focussing on how terrible things were and, of course, they got worse! My mantra for 2009 was “We can’t afford it – we’re nearly bankrupt” so of course we never could.
I have nothing in my bank acounts now but I feel richer than I did 2 years ago because my attitude to wealth has changed. I’m still with my partner too because if we can survive losing everything but each other we’ve got nothing to lose!
Thanks Mike, so many of us have been so “busy” making a living we haven’t even been thinking about “Keeping it”. I really appreciate you.
Norm McCurry
Thanks Mike!
I real need to wake up. Thank you for your concern, and your effort to leave it to others, and your generosity.
Very nice Mike, thanks for the heads-up on these resources.
Others that I have found very rewarding are;
“Winning With People” by John C. Maxwell and
“Put the Moose On The Table” by Ronald Tobias and Todd Tobias
Mike thanks for the info.
History repeats itself with the government spending frenzy. We know that the deficit will never be paid off if the value of the dollar stays strong. The collapse of the dollar is all part of the plan, this way the deficit is simply reduced because of the drop in the value of the dollar.
You are right this is only the beginning. We are not the only country in trouble it is worldwide and I believe this is what will bring us under control of a one world bank hence one world government.
Funny Mike, you and I share the same advisors
Yes, I have been following and learning from exactly the same people, and Mike could not be more on the money. I hope everyone that reads this post actually takes action and follows your suggestions and gets educated as to what is going on and how to prosper from it. Thanks for your leadership once again Mike!
Norbert
hey mike, great post,looking forward to the next one. charles d hart
Mike: Really appreciate you sharing all these resources! There is an ancient Chinese curse that goes something like this: “May you live in interesting times” I think we are in “interesting times” and with the right knowledge we can prosper.
Mike… hands down amazing work my friend… I’m just 23 and last month I made 23K, and I did it with your training. You changed my life man… If you ever decide to go to SA gimme a call I’d love to meet with you man

Thanks Mike, great insight and valuable tools. Leaders are people who adapt quickly to change, who are willing to change direction and reassess their position regularly and do what is necessary to achieve their desired results. If we do not accept change we will indeed be left behind.
Much appreciation for your leadership Mike,

This is very interesting. I live in Iceland and in 2008 the economy here went down. We were one of the richest and most in depended nation in the world. That changed in just few months. Now we are way over our head in dept and we don’t see a way out. Now we know that building a strong economy takes a lot longer time then it takes it to tumble. The following is taken from Wikipedia,
“The 2008–2009 Icelandic financial crisis is a major ongoing economic crisis in Iceland that involves the collapse of all three of the country’s major banks following their difficulties in refinancing their short-term debt and a run on deposits in the United Kingdom. Relative to the size of its economy, Iceland’s banking collapse is the largest suffered by any country in economic history.”
Mike,
I love your book list. Thank you for sharing. To a great 2010!
J
Thanks for the valuable information Mike!
I always open anything from you, which is not always the case with other lists I am on.
This info is not really new to me and although I am Canadian, I follow alot of the U.S. market both politically and economically especially all of Ron Paul’s videos and interviews.
Thanks again!

Hey Mike, just want to say that you are “right on the money” as the saying goes. A very important point to note it is: those who are “forewarned” will be “forearmed” its what we do with the information that will determine our ultimate end.So good actionable information, do keep up the great work in updating us.
Mike, interesting that you are going in this direction, in 1999 I was introduced to this through Elliottwave international, Robert Prector presented your awareness and how toprosper in this ultimately devastating down turn, I’m in full agreement with all you have disclosed and very interested in more of your thoughts. Yes, this is going to be very rewarding tonthose of us who see it for what it is, by the way I started investing in gold when it was at 280. and am still scaling in more on every pullback, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be part of your diligent study and action plan, keep on keeping on.
Thanks for sharing Mike, thanks for not allowing laziness and excuses …
For a longest time I was blaming my upline and/or situations for my lack of success. So glad you changed my mindset on that.
Thanks!
Thanks Mike,
It is truly amazing to see how one can use the past to determine the events of the future. Robert has done an excellent job in these predictions, and has enlightened the minds of many individuals including myself.
Thanks much for your continued guidance and leadership.

I highly recommend a book called, Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, by John Perkins. This shows how the International banksters target countries and saddles them with huge amounts of debt which can never be repaid; enslaving the population and sinking hooks deep into their economies. Once the hooks are set only revolution and loan defaults can free that nation.
Incredible information. I started the “Crash Course” video series and my head is swimming. I am fifty and I can say that my head has been in the sand. No more. Thank-you for giving without want.
Thanks for the great resources Mike!!
Thanks for saying what needs to be said Mike. People need to wake up before it’s too late. Keep putting it out there and I’ll make sure my tweeter followers and my list get the information as well.
I can be fairly certain that this will not be published here. Whenever you see 100% positive comments, you know what the moderation policy is. For that reason, I’ll keep it short since it’s probably wasted time:
-Cut the Marketing crap. That’s what has produced and perpetuated the problems we have.
-Go back or start by getting engineering, math, medical or science degrees and training. Build, invent, improve, cure. Don’t continue to scam and suck others’ blood.
Mike can you tell me if their is a sercret to geeting off my ass to make phone calls .I have all the leads I need I just have a hard time getting off my but and make calls .
Thanking you in advance

Most people think that the health of the ecomony is regulated by what the Stock Market relates. FALSE. Check out the History books, especially Pres. Franklin personal notes He kept; they at that time, fliped a coin to decide if the market was going up or down. It is still pretty mush the same today, you just have to know who is flipping the coin today.If you remember the last depression was effectually in progress and running strong at that time. Remember this just beause there is a depression going on now, the Money did not just up and disappear. People in the thirties still bought things. The advantage is to understand how to get them to spend. The physcology to do this has been the same for 7,000 years, and is still being used today. Happy hunting.
And again Mike did it. Sharing his know how and telling us how he did it is all it takes.
It all looks soo easy when he does it.
The books and sites he recommends give sooo much, it will take me some time to go thru all of that.
But I’m sure it will be worth while every second I spend reading.
Thanks again and have a fantastic 2010!
Stefan
Mike,
Continues to provide more valuable information.
This is why is one of the best resources online for attraction marketing.
Thanks Mike!
I real need to wake up. Thank you for your concern, and your effort to leave it to others, and your generosity.
Hi Mike You have the kindest heart of any one I know It is so good that you want to help people There needs to be more people like you out there It is really amazing what you are doing Keep up the good work my friend GOOD JOB
Mike, another daily read for everyone should be Peter Schiff’s website, Euro Pacific Capital.
http://www.europac.net/
Peter Schiff predicted the housing collapse and recession, and was literally laughed at on television.
Everybody needs to watch this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2I0QN-FYkpw
Both my husband and I worked in the world of Wall Street for nearly 20 years. People need to pay attention and I think a lot of people finally are.
You are the man Mike.
Great information Mike. “The Creature from Jekyll Island” is a must read to get a handle on what’s happening right now.
Mike,
If things will go like you wrote:
“The extremely wealthy, and the extremely poor. The comfortable, and the uncomfortable. There will be no middle ground”, then you can pretty much say goodbye to prosperity and well being. This has happened before, for example in Russia, before World War 1. It’s not a sustainable way to live and even if you had millions and there would be millions who had nothing they wouldn’t wait to change that pretty fast.
If you want sustainable progress and peace on earth, there has to be middle class, otherwise there will be too much tension between classes.
It’s important to read about future and economics, but we must never forget what history teaches us. There are too many scary examples of societys you see in the future. Let’s hope your predictions don’t come true because if they come, you or any other rich people won’t have much fun either.
One of the best posts I’ve ever seen from a marketer. Thanks for the resources.
Once again, you lead the pack in helping others help themselves.
Thank you.
In the mid 1990′s a gentleman named George Smith hosted a free radio talk show on which he provided the kind of information others are now espousing. He spoke often of Unsocial Insecurity and that the Federal Reserve had nothing to do with Federal government. While many viewed an increase in their credit limit as a raise – George explained that it was simply an invitation to dig in deeper so you could never get out. Dump the credit based economy, kill credit card companies and stand wall street on its head. Let’s get back to cash.
Hi Mike ,
I have followed the thoughts of Jim Sinclaire at
http://www.jsmineset.com since 2001. Jim was a consultant to the Hunt
Brothers in 1980 when they tried to corner the silver market.
He is an experts expert.You may want to add his insight to your reading list.
Thanks for your input I’m on your wavelength too.
I’ve been searching a long time for the correct
way of doing MLM,like the 97% .
Then +-6 months ago I “found” Randy Gage, Eric Worre and then you Mike. Now I REALLY believe in MLM again…
AND NOW this info….
For many years I have been telling my friends and family what I think gone be the 3rd world war, economic crash..
How often have I heard : “you are so negativ”
Be sure I’m gone show them this message…
Thank you Mike for helping me with this, and for everything you do…

Hi Mike
Many thanks for your great insights and links to websites that you recommend. As you stated, the world is no where near being out of the financial crisis yet – in fact I think there will be crisis followed by crisis for some considerable time. Many countries are struggling to pay the bills, debt is accumulating and growth statistics are mostly down. The “print money” solution is only setting us all up for a harder landing – so best get prepared to endure.
Great tips Mike. I have read three of Robert Kiyosaki’s books but haven’t had the time to read more. I am goign to find the time to read these two now. I didn’t realize that he has an overview of the history of currency and the federal reserve. Very few people are aware of the conspiracy and financial slavery that we live in today due to this history.
Kevin Thomas
Your thoughts are right on track I watched The Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Venture and man he has the governments number and it’s a shame that the government would treat Americans like this but I am with you and I am doing what it takes. Anyone get a chance watch the Conspiracy Theory great show and Great job Mike….
Wow Mike,
I’m new to the thinking related to Mike’s Magnetic Sponoring and much of the thinking that drives the increasing power of the carboncopypro model. Reading the references of those who have preceded this entry, I find myself struck by connections.
These are the connections between economic forces that some writers touched on in the past but that seemed like abstractions to me. Allk of a sudden, abstractions they are no more. Understanding and staying on top of the 21st century marketplace (the internet), the inevitability of major socioeconomic, and what all this is leading toward is shocking and cause for action or else!
I’ve always been a reader. I am now moving toward becoming obsessed with knowing all I am able to consume. What impresses me most is that this is not a lot of flag waving eating up of political nonsense — it is looking past all that and seeing things for what they are and moving accordingly.
Thank you
I can’t express the gratitude I have for Robert Kiyosaki’s contribution to the World. Because of his books I push myself to mlm and because of your book (MS) Mike I now “get it” after tons of money and time wasted.
Keep delivering this information to our world and online community. If it wasn’t for people like you and Robert I think i would never be the way I am and the opportunities that I can share now. God Bless you now and forever!
It takes passion, integrity, and obligation to do something about what one sees. Being a bystander isn’t an option. Can one person make a difference? Oh yeah.
Thanks Mike. I trust it will be more than one person.

Thanks, look forward to more contact and GREAT INFO!!!!
Thanks

Hello Mike,
Thank you so much for the info you have supplied to all of us who are really looking for a change in the now future as well as the future a head.Some times we know we must do somthing different the ideal of making it happen can be a challenge, thanks for making it easy to understand. Thank you. Cherlyn
Thanks Mike, you are a responsible American.I reccomend two books that support everything you are saying. John Perkins “Economic Hitman”. This is a bone chilling account of what is taking place. The other book is by Robert Ringer called “Restoring the American Dream”
These books are not my products, and I am not making any profit.But, I believe every American should read.
…… thanks for the info. – great posts – know now where to go to read them. Overwhelmed with emails – so they don’t work anymore.
Mike,
Great article, and I agree with you 100%. The MASSIVE and unprecedented amount of spending done by our government is only a ‘band-aid’ for the underlying economic situation, and has only prolonged what will be an inevitable descent. Now is definitely the time to be aware of the potential downfalls, but more importantly, the opportunities.
Mike I listened to one of Glen Becks session’s the other day and realized we are in trouble with our lack of finance sense government. I look forward to reading the books you have mentioned. You also, confirmed my thinking on investing in gold/silver. I feel like I can not really comment @ this time until I have read the books. I do feel like you are on the right track and feel like you are definitely drawing everyones attention with your topics of the yet to come.
Mike,
Thank you for your insight, integrity, and honesty. It’s time to wake up and take action!
~Nancy
Thanks Mike, you are a responsible American
Hey Mike. Very effect words man. Becoming rich is a man’s dream and your info is great. I’ll be following your work
-Thanks
I was telling friends in 2008 Silver and gold were going to go up and I was looked upon in dis-belief and Disdane. Thanks to Robert Kiyosaki’s I invested in some Silver. Now I’m greatful to discover Mike Dillard recently. I have been learning daily through the great, timley information you have provided Thanks again Mike Dillard!
Thanks Mike for the list of resource. I will make sure to read and watch those.
Thanks for some more great info Mike…
I have read most of Robert Kiyosaki’s books and have learned so much from them. Lets face it, most people are living under a rock or in front of some TV set soaking up garbage instead of educating themselves about what is really going on in the world…
If you ask ten people on the street who the Federal Reserve is nine if not ten will tell you its owned and operated by the Federal Government.
Another great read by Robert is “Conspiracy of the Rich” which explains why and how we got into this Economic Mess we are in now. It will also teach you how to play by the same rules the wealthy do and prosper in the coming years.
For those that are wide awake its a good time to being an Entrepreneur…
Mike,
Thanks for having the courage to share your convictions honestly and openly. I would agree that the more this info gets out the better prepared the majority of people will be, and indeed the clock is very close to midnight.
I too am preparing as quickly as possible for this turn of events, and have been for several years. The inevitable question you are probably asking yourself is how deep does this go, and is it possible to retain life in America as we know it?
It appears that you are well aware of the unfortunate consequences that history paints for a society that takes the road America has, and yet history also tells us that if only 3% of the population becomes active positive change can result for all!
Keep it up Mike and follow that yet still voice you’re hearing so well.
Rich
Hi Mike
Thank you for the info, I was looking for something like this. I suspect the economy wasn’t that bad at first ,but around us here in Canada big Company are closing puting many peoples on the street.
Robert
Mike,
You should check out the book, “The Creature From Jekyll Island” by Edward Griffin. This book was written in the late 80′s and is right on target with everything that’s happening right now. It’s goes back several hundred years and explains things with documented proof too. Amazing.
Thanks for sharing,
Chaffee
this is something new to me, and i’m going for it,,
Mike I have read most of Kiyosaki`s books. They are must reading. Thanks for your great information. Keep doing what you are to inform us of what is coming and what we can do to protect ourselves.
Hi Mike,
Thank you for the tremendous value that you pass on to those that are willing to take it. Thanks to you and those like you, anyone that dares to dream now has a chance to achieve those dreams.
Thank you immensely, and please keep up your Great work.
Wow Mike,
Thanks, talk about 3rd party verification! I have been trying to get a few people positioned with this kind of knowledge, and most people seem to have their head in the sand.
I am going to send this to everyone I know and see if I can get 1 or 2 smart people to pay attention.
Keep up the research. I am with you.

Hi Mike,
In my previous comment I basically tried to indicate, not sure how effectively, that the ultimate root of the economic problems that we are witnessing today and will also exerience in future is actually not actually “material” in the way that we usually regard and analyse these issues.
Interestingly enough, in the same way that probably you and the many other success trainers teach that making oneself financially successful requires a shift in mindset and attitude actually also points to the – if you like – metaphysical causal factors that actually lies behind the visible outcomes and relationships in the tangible world.
Nature and state of mind; values, beliefs, attitude – behaviour and outcome or consequences. This is also why even in the early part of the 20th Century, One such as Abd-ru-shin, in His Work “In the Light of Truth: the Grail Message”, was not only able to explain the whole development of the entire Creation and human existence in a manner that is logically consistent, but within this was also able to forsee the economic collapse that would take place worldwide. He was able to do so because He was able to see things from the most fundamental basis of the nature of human life and the historical and ongoing conditions of human spirits in our life here on earth as reflected in everything including our systems and institutions of individual mindsets, family,institutions of political and economic systems, et al.
Because, factually and fundamentally speaking we ARE human spirits (spiritual beings)that have wrongly allowed our earthbound intellectual instrument to become predominant,the political and economic systems (entirely governed by intellectual materialism) are no longer driven or motivated by higher (spiritual) human values (except in ways that are pure tokenism).
It is a logical imperative, based upon Natural Law, that anything that is in a state or condition that is not in alignment with its true nature, must eventually manifest negative, adverse outcomes and consequences – sooner or later. for it is not in harmony with its own core purpose and nature. This is the spiritual situation of human beings. It has been so for a long long time; but what we are now seeing and will continue to see in all areas of human life, as well as in the environment that we of course also affect with our self-distortions, are the culminations of these historical errors in our limited earthbound intellectual mindsets, and the systems of politics, economics, jurisprudence, family,etc that reflects this fall in consciousness.
Hence we must never forget that the world of money and finances, is only one branch of the human tree of life where things are going wrong. But the root of it all is self-ignorance as regards the answer to the time-honoured question “what am I”; which is “we are human spirits”. But again I hasten to add that this is not a religious view as such. I am only interested (as a student of Truth) in the objectivity of life, self and reality.
To sum up, therefore, you are so right that the current economic crisis is certainly not over yet; and that worse is yet to come. However, looking at life, self and reality from a “spiritual-holistic” viewpoint, the economic collapse that is happening at such a deep fundamental level, is still only the tip of the iceburg; and is only one among many other sypmtoms of collapse in everything that human beings have built up on a wrong inner foundation.
But well done Mike for going as deep as you have into this one important brach that is about to fall from the tree.
Thank you for reading my thoughts.

Love the information on the resources you shared thank you for your unselfishness to provide information to grow I really need this to move this from infancy.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts insights, mentors,and books.
I have read Many of Robert Kiyosaki’s books and it has also called me into action. When I read “Prophecy”, I also brought that book for several of my relatives for christmas several years ago, who have let it lavish on shelves. I’ve also read “Conspiracy of the rich” By Robert Kiyosaki where he says knowledge is the new money, that’s why I thank you for sharing so much cutting edge knowledge and sources. In my opinion you are already creating money with your programs!!! I intend to due the same. Over the past 2 years I have invested in my education, learning how to trade stocks and option strategies!!!
You were the one who led me to consuming tons of info Internet marketing !!! I’ve read your Magnetic sponsoring, and MlM traffic formula! You’re Super!!! Thanks again for sharing!
Mike I cannot thank you enough! I have just finished the first 12 chaptors of the crash course. (had to take a break – my headset was killing my ears) I have been studying this for some time also but this is the most concise, straight forward, and focused presentation on the topic I’ve seen!
I thank you for your excellent summary of your study which will be of immeasurable benifit to me. Now back to your references!
Thank you Mike for the refreshing ideas on economic health and behavior. Sounds as though I need to renew my buisness insider subscription.
Thanks for this great info Mike.Will take your warning and advice to heart.Will use your suggestions as part of my blueprint going forward.That big changes are on the way is undeniable.We better be ready and prepared.Thanks for sharing.
gracias mike, de antemano de agradezgo muchisimo que me explicaras que estas haciendo, ahora me doy cuenta que de verdad existen personas que se apacionan por lo que hacen, te puedo considerar mi maestro por que considero que tengo mucho que aprender de ti, e leido algunos libros de robert kiyosaky, y los que muestras en este sitio no lo e leido pero pronto lo conseguire, te deseo lo mejor hasta pronto

I am now building my Magnetic Sponsoring sites so I can take advantage of this information. It is slow going but I am learning.
Thank you for all you do.
My vote is a 10!
Thanks Mike for choosing to show and tell with the great stuff you are learning from Robert Kiyosaki and his freinds and network.
Prophecy is also the book that started me moving forward with a sense of urgency. Now I work harder at my business than ever because I choose abundance also.
This is such important info except for Mike’s relatives and mine too.
God Bless
WOW Fantastic information.
You did it again Mike.
Congratulations.
In Gratitude

Hello Mike!
Thank you for all the valuable information you share with world, too many people are blind to what actually takes place, and you help open their eyes. I have just only today begun my journey into MLM with Carbon copy PRO, and am very excited in this new business venture, I plan on reading every book you suggest, so far all the information I have read makes so much sense, and thanks to people like you, who actually care about the success of others, it gives me a great sence of confidence to follow the lead of leaders such as yourself!! Bravo and keep up your awesome work! I hope to shake hands with you one day, and thank you in person!
All the best! Jason (Toronto)
Hi
MIKE i want to know in this field no body is giving interest especially INDIANS because i am also a Indian so how u supports to us. especially Indian people.
I know every body getting advantage through ur’s guidance.
I am doing mlm direct business.I wonder how to get lead from outside?
Hello Mike
I must say, you continue to impress me. I recently became the vice president of marketing for BizNdex, and we’ve been keeping a close eye on you. Your emails are brilliant, and your blog posts likewise.
You are spot on about this economy. Yes, the market is correcting many errors. But I see this as shift in economic activity more than anything. Consumers are spending more wisely, searching more diligently, and expecting more from local businesses. Thank you for these excellent reading and linking resources. – Tony Darrick Baker
I started reading Roberts book series from Rich Dad, Poor Dad on about 12 years ago. While I don’t agree with everything he says there’s no question he was the one that changed my mind to the millionaire mindset. I don’t think I’d have the successs, and financial freedom that I do today with out him.
It’s hard to know where the gold, and silver stocks are going. As soon as markets switch the commodites market may become a little more volatile, and drop. It’s inevitable like every 8-10 there will be another dump in the market. The key is to anticipate things before it happens, and to know when to get out/buy in.
Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump’s Why We Want You to be Rich goes into quite a bit of detail on this subject as well. Definitely worth the read.
Hi Mike
You are absulutely awesome Everybody’s dream to get rich I love the passion of all your ideas no qualm about it . I love to learn more deeper in for magnetic sponsoring
Regards
Adele Whyte
Thanks Mike. I have studied the market a bit and I know what you say to be true.I am not a young man in fact I am very close to retirement but I choose to retire in style. I’m grateful for your advice and will be doing more study as I see it as necessary in order to plot my financial future not only for myself but for my grandchildren who might I plan to put through college.
Hi Mike,
You are great inspiration to a large audience world-wide. I’d like to add one more piece of information worth reading, namely just recently published book by William Bonner and Addison Wiggin – THE FINANCIAL RECKONING DAY FALLOUT (Surviving Today’s Global Depression – Fully Revised and Updated 10th Anniversary Edition) Published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. $27.95
Thank you
Mike,
Thanks for sharing your hard work in researching all of this and taking the time to put together some resources – much appreciated.
It definately serves as a harsh reminder, not so much of things to come, but of how critical it is that every one of us has responsibility for our own financial future, whether we want it or not.
Like you say at the top of this page,
“You get to choose which side YOU end up on, should you take that responsibility into your own hands. If you’re lazy and do not choose, history will place you on the losing team by default.”
I think this serves as a reminder that we all need to up our game, so that you don’t end up on the “losing team”.
Looking forward to your next post,
Ed Hodgson
Hi mike ,
There is no doom & gloom, Get your mindset right , But i think you’ve already done that a, That sounds like an expensive School 25 gee’s a month , Is that Gold & Silver your investing in ? Sounds like the wall street shuffle, Wise move ,
Have a good one Keep investing in the future,
Regards
Roy.
Thank you for this. You are a true leader because you do Give Without Want. This is something that I have been doing for years. It does work, although not the way some people think
The news of the economy on the Mainstream Media is only being presented as a part of the agenda to keep people ignorant and confused.
The real news is that the paper fiat money economy is coming to an end. The Wealth and Freedoms are being transferred and those who are paying attention and will prosper.
Those who are not will be shocked and when they realize they have been hoodwinked the chaos will give rise to a new economy. One that is built with people like, Kiyosaki, Trump and people who give without want and are passionate to provide financial education.
So thank you for Giving without want.
Hi Mike,
Your are a friend of the business community indeed. The links and books you have referred to in this Collapse and Proper special message, is a revelation to me and Iam sure to all who correspond with you.
I personally got great value from it.
Thanks and please keep the fire burning. Who knows who you may save from collapse.
Many Thanks.
Robert Munjanganja
Hi,
Thank you Mike for your comments with which I agree wholeheartedly. I’ve been a part of the YOUnique Wealth company before if officially launched in early 2008. The views of the CEO’s are exactly what Mike is saying in these comments, but they are actively doing something about it by making gold and silver availabe to the average person through this mlm company and a private Swiss Mint. They also recommend Chris Martenson’s Crash Course as part of their financial education and will soon have available their special unique financial education product, as another option for the required monthly autosave.
God bless,
Shirley Mundt
Thanks Mike for the information and thanks for stepping outside your comfort zone on this subject. You have done well because of your honesty so far, so thanks for doing it here once again.
Sound the alarm for those who choose to listen.
Bob Andolina
Am greatful
thanks a million times, being prepared for the future is the best gift we can give to our selves and families
iam ready to take on new economic principles for the new era
i want to win, to prosper to have in abandancy
Investors Daily Edge is whom I just this weekend signed up to get info in this realm of which you speak Mike, and now your post plus all the responses and their suggestions have given me tons of info to aquire/buy ( which I hear is tax deductable) but that may be naive of me since I have not read any of your suggestions or those of thes replys yet.
Mike as always, you over deliver, and I am always blessed with it, even though I have one of those minds not normally wired and takes longer to understand and remember( 4 yrs and still tying to digest just the Mangetic Sponsoring 1.0 of yours you offered and I got ), I got the 2.0 but haven’t gotten to it yet, still dizzly going through #1.0, BUT since I value what you offer MIke, now I will go get these too, so I can go have them to go through too.
Thanks Mike, and also to all who have shared the extras in your followup posts.
Thanks Mike,
You underpin the positive behaviours needed to get through the inevitable challenges we all face. Now, after the big financial warnings and tremors, it should be common sense to be on the outlook for future ‘shakes and landslides’, plus any business/financial opportunities to avoid and overcome them.
There is no doubt that you will benefit from the good work you have done and the generosity you show to others; I can feel the urge to copy your behaviours, something that creates the following we all need to be successful in business.
I would like to add, looking to the medium – long term in financial domains, there is only so much that can distort ethical business between two people (the basic unit of trust) before the balance is disturbed and the framework fails to support further activities. Prospective customers will go their own way, do their own thing and create products and services of their own – just like your example, Mike.
I hope the warnings are already clear enough for many more people to follow you in setting up in business on the winning side, attracting millions more to stick to them through your Magnetic Marketing!
Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for all yr info. They have been wonderful and pleasurable stuff. God bless u and yr family for U really cares …
Hello!
Thank you for helping yourself and many other special people of this world to our better future. I hope strongly the information given will be very very helpful. In fact the possibilities are really endless, endless, endless! If you have the most proper information, you can achieve absolutely anything. I am studying such information, much better than anyone can imagine, all the time. And the other sources prove that it is worth it and any kind of world improvement has a sense! (unlike unsuccessful people spoiling the mood anywhere…
)
Well, take care and do your best.
Cheers,
Fanda
Thanks for the info Mike. But can you give me marketing strategy with minimal cost with which I can make a beginning in promoting my MS program. It will bolster my spirit and my confidence to get a few sales and some amount in online revenue.
Hi Mike,
I am finally gathering momentum, heeding your call for study and understanding, to get back to the student that I was in the 60s! Most comments herein are embracing gold and silver as the solution to protect our money and I agree to a point. The problem with the precious metals, as well as the worthless paper, is, that you can´t eat it!!
What would the unemployed people during the depression have done with a small plot of fertile land, some water and some seeds? Will our economy get to the point of carrying money around in suitcases to buy a loaf of bread? Nancy Pelosi has her hand on the crank, (no pun intended), of the money machine and actually thinks that you just print money to pay all the debt! I don´t know if the Government is accepting the repayments proposed by the Banks, I just haven´t gotten to the core of the matter as yet, but if they don´t accept, ie.. many of the Banks accepted the bailout money because it was forced on them, why forced? Because Pelosi and her gang members want to run the Banking system, Wall Street, and everything else, to save us from ourselves. Didn´t the U.S.S.R. fail? So hang in there, if the Gov. won´t take the money back, and run away inflation occurs, your gold and silver will sky rocket, just make sure that you have lots of grillin beans stored up! By the way those things fall right through the grill into the fire!
I love the comments that Lawton Brown makes from his padded cell on Mars.
Thanks Mike
What a refreshing read. Thank you for the links to invaluable resources that are bound to shift paradigms on the global economy and personal power to rise above socio-economic ills.
To me this article is a beautiful illustration of the relevance of general business and macro economic issues for Internet and network marketing. Not to mention the importance of “Be willing to give without want, and you will get” for marketing online.
Hey Mike,
Thanks for the heads up & the great info. You’re definitely a stand-up guy. I’m glad I got your course as it’s taught me an awful lot. I hope to do well in the coming future and would like to meet & buy you dinner one day.
Thanks again Mike,
Bill
Thank you very much.I m very hapy about your website.
Hi Mike,
Great article and I got a chance to meet and talk with
Mike Maloney at the Wealth Masters M2 conference in Las Vegas in November.
After reading his book and being a student of history Mike really impressed me with his analysis of gold and silver.
Keep up the good work.
Charles
That’t it this one is the icebreaker. I am ready to purchase magnetic sponsoring. All of your blogs are right on and extremely thought provoking. I enjoy and appreciate your writings and as one of your former readers indicated am ready to profit from this new economy. Not take advantage, mind you, but to give generously without the expectation of return.
Thanks
Chris Hall
Mike you have hit the nail on the head! I lived through this last crash working in the auto industry. I knew the collapse was coming but everything in me kept saying, “we shall survive.” The end result was the lost of some very good friends to layoffs, a reduced workforce, 401K and a very sketchy future. It was at that point when I made a conscious decision to never let myself be put in that position again. Like you (Mike) I am studying, and investing in me (Donald). No one can really predict the future but they surely can plan for it.
Thank you very much Mike .
Thank you Mike for the precious information.I must have a new prospect about economic after reading the recommended books.
Agree with mike on this one. Arm yourself with knowlege becaue in today’s world it’s more powerful then the sword or is that just history repeating itself again?
Mike, thank you for giving great insights for our financial well being. You insights and materials provided through MS has been deeply appreciated, and allowed a greater trust to consider your insights stated above!
Hi Mike, very interesting links to business insider knowledge.
I have notice gold prices at $1100 per ounce (last time I looked). There is not enough paper money in existence to validate the numerical records for the richest bank accounts on the planet. Just as well we have digital databases so I can buy goods and services. Eh!
Thank you very much.
THANK YOU so much for this info, Mike!! I had people telling me the same things in the late 90s when I was considering getting into real estate investing. Glad I listened to them then and glad I’m paying attention and listening now. Only the wise, brave, and prepared will be smiling on the back side of the next big wave.
Danni
Mike, Mike, Mike… You really bring the KNOWLEDGE!!!
Thank you for the resources and I will pass this along
to my sphere of influence. I pray that you continue to
be a strong leader in this industry.
Thank you again,
Benne J. Clark
The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching plan, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole…Their secret is that they have annexed from governments, monarchies, and republics the power to create the world’s money…” THE MONEY MASTERS is a 3 1/2 hour non-fiction, historical documentary that traces the origins of the political power structure that rules our nation and the world today. The modern political power structure has its roots in the hidden manipulation and accumulation of gold and other forms of money. The development of fractional reserve banking practices in the 17th century brought to a cunning sophistication the secret techniques initially used by goldsmiths fraudulently to accumulate wealth. With the formation of the privately-owned Bank of England in 1694, the yoke of economic slavery to a privately-owned “central” bank was first forced upon the backs of an entire nation, not removed but only made heavier with the passing of the three centuries to our day. Nation after nation, including America, has fallen prey to this cabal of international central bankers. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-515319560256183936#
You are right on the money Mike, I covered this briefly in my book “Work for Nobody” as well. There will be 2 camps, rich and poor. All you need to do is choose which one you will end up in.
I recall Robert being on CNN when Bear Stearns failed and predicting when Lehmans would follow. Wolf Blitzer -a source most people trust- laughed at him! We all know what happened about 6 months later.
Thank you so much Mike…
I am working my way to a new time in life.
I just wanted to take a few minuets to say thank you for making a difference.Thank you for taking the time to send me this information and it will not be in vain..It will take alittle time to get through all the books and websites you have provided.This is the ultimate brain food..I mean it not only will boost my financial IQ.But it will change my view point on many things..I can use it in my business and in everyday life which is priceless..Its people like you that make a better me.

Sephronia
Great Stuff! I shared it with many others!
Thanks Mike. I’m glad I know you and am open to receiving. Age-old adage that will forever ring true. We can lead a horse to water…when they get really thirsty they will drink water or just die. It’s all about choices. Every option is just a choice and I’ve chosen to drink water…thanks again Mike for the info.
Mike,
You have given so much and continue to give freely! Thank you so much for that.
I am a huge Rich Dad fan as well and I read the Prophecy a couple of years back. That is when I decided I needed to get serious about My family’s future. There have been many struggles along the way. With each one I have learned some invaluable lessons. I think that is why I love the Rich Dad Poor Dad books. They let you into their struggles and help you to learn how to overcome them.
I will be getting the guide to investing in Gold and Silver on my next trip to a book store for sure after reading this!
Thanks for the websites as well!
Prosperity to you in all you do!
Mary Thayer
thanks Mike for all your effort on my successful. i believe you will keep it up to the end, by helping me get all that i need to get to start, as a beginner. thank you.
Thanks Mike,
The times they are a changing, and it’s people like you who have the influence to wake people up to the fact that one of these days our money will not be worth the paper it is printed on.
What a different world it will be. Especially for those who have become students of providing value. So often $ is not what it’s all about, and as you always say the best place to start investing is in yourself. To have value to provide when people are going to be facing what looks like their darkest hour will be priceless.
Thanks for the inspiration to get down to work on creating myself as my most valuable asset.
Miriam
Thanks Mike,
This is indeed the eleventh hour. It is a matter of time before our money will not be worth the paper it is printed on, or the metal it is minted on. Those will seem like the darkest hours for those who have not learned to invest in themselves.
Only those who have discovered the importance of providing value, and having something of true value to provide will be able to come forth with viable solutions for the millions who are blindly following what the mainstream news media is spewing.
Thanks for the reminder to GET TO WORK on myself before the hours up.
Miriam Gruber (The Abundance Networker)
Let’s not forget that more millionaires come out of the last depression than any other time in U.S. history. And even though the economic future may look blink there will be vast opportunities for those who stay in the know.
Mike that’s for these resource’s I’m a huge fan of Micheal Maloney gold and silver is one of the best investments anyone can make right now!
I agree Mike…as you said, you study what’s happening in 95% of your free time. I, as well, study during most of my free time, however I’m currently interested in Ken Wilber’s Integral Movement , Eastern philosophy, psychology, ecology, and economics.
I guess, my point being that all outsides are a representation of the nooshpere and collective conscious of mankind. As well as prepare for the direct consequences of our quite destructive habits, I feel we have to see this as a time of spiritual change and evolution. I hope that everyone also reads The Great Turning by David Korten which presents us with a turn from empire to a potential earth community. In other words, through these upcoming and current pain and trials we may be transformed and motivated to evolve the way we view ourselves, our nation, and our world. Thank you for your insight, Sincerely, John
Thanks Mike, i also follow to Kiyosaki and i’ve begun to buy a little of silver.
Greetings
Thanks Mike! Extremely valuable information, as always. I’ve already signed up for Chris Martensen’s Crash Course and I’m motivated more than ever to grow my business and create a solid financial future.
It’s a new era for those who choose to rise above the economic distress and take advantage of the opportunities that arise.
Mike, I bought some of your courses last semester, but I have not being able to make any sales even with the people I know. I agree with what Sanjay Kumar Dutta Says:
January 19th, 2010 at 11:34 am
some of us need a litle push to get started, I hope you or some of your staff members can help me.
Keep up the good work, I appreciate it very much. I am From a state of Mexico and the language barrier is troblesome for me.
Please there is no need to publish this. Thank you.
Hey Mike,
Thank you for sharing your KNOWING and your connections. I figure you are one of the best connected people on the planet, so to share unequivocably your inner circle is worth only a few if not many millions of dollars to each of us. We are actually as I see it in a financial revolution as has not been seen for some time, and I am ignorant of the history of previous such events. However I have no intention of joining the UNPREPARED and burying my head. I am thankful that I have disassociated from the herd!
I will follow you, I will prosper in a way that reflects who I am BEING here on planet earth, and I am ever grateful to be a part of the team who will always pay tribute for WHO YOU ARE and the incredible value you bring to the table. You give and give some more and then find something else to share and thank God that those of us who CHOOSE to follow and be educated are the few. Your leadership is beautiful and I am thrilled to be a friend. Thank you Mike for the choices you have made and for the VALUE you share.
HI MIKE,”I KNOW”YOU ARE ALL THE FACT YOU PROVIDE,AND MUCH MORE.
MY SINCERE WISH IS THAT YOU MAY BE REWARDED WITH THE HIGHEST REWARD,PLEASE TAKE THESE MY WORDS SERIOUSLY.
I KNEW OF YOU THANKS TO FRANCO GONZALES, HE ALSO DESERVES THE HIGHEST REWARD.
SUCH THING DOES EXIST,MAYBE I AM YOUR LINK TO IT,MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE IS,WHOEVER IS IS.
I’M DOING AND CONTINUE DOING MY VERY BEST,SO THAT IT MAY FULLY MATERIALIZE ASAP.
MEANTIME,MAY YOU HAVE THE BEST DAY.THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I REMAIN,

Hi Mike,
One more thing that Robert Kiyosaki has recently written is his “Conspiracy of the Rich, 8 Rules for New Money” ebook. It is available on his website, conspiracyoftherich.com. He also updates the information on a weekly or so basis with what is happening in the present. He has also published this book and is available as a book in hand.
Very informative and historical information.
Denise Geiser
Mike,
I appreciate your honesty and compassion to empower people to take responsibility for their lives. I read cash flow quadrant about four years and now I am off to get the other two you suggested.
Leaders like you make this industry a whole more appealing to the uneducated.
We all must remember, if we give up our responsibility, we give up our liberty
I really like your no BS approach.
God bless you and your new bride
Jeff Faldalen
Again Mike, thank you for sharing! This post, as simple as it may seem, has already proven to be a turning point for me, and has also served to ignite and solidify my confidence. I now know that what I too have been reading about, and feeling in my gut, is true. When I talk about things such as what you’ve disclosed above, people tend to look at me like I’ve grown a third eye, or that I’m some 7th-level Theory Conspirator. It makes me feel alone sometimes. I really need to find better people to surround myself with and connect to. So, thank you for casting info and education like this out to us, and for being a shining beacon in the foggy and often confusing world.
You da man!
Jordan
Mike,
Thanks so much for sharing this vital information. I am currently reading Robert’s book “Increase Your Financial IQ” and will pick up Mike Maloney’s book next. Since Nixon took us off the Gold Standard in 1971, the potential for hyper-inflation has become a very real threat.
I am grateful for your newsletter and for sending out a clarion call to the naysayers who think the problems are going to be “fixed” by our government. Robert says financial education is paramount and he is right!
Sincerely,
John Judnich
You did it again Mike. I love your programs and information you give.

Well mike i also appreciate the fact that you have gather all informations of yours tru the books of Robert Kiyosaki, because like many others out there, im also a big fan of reading books also.. Mike i suggest that these would be a grand slam on your site, i suggest that this would be the most top of the cream newletter you would share to all of us!
Mike thank you for the Informations and GOD Bless!

Hi Mike, I am brand new to network marketing. I am honest to say I am quite overwhelmed at the present with absorbing Magnetic Sponsoring, and setting up my business. I read this letter not with fear, but with confidence, because I know I have the best mastermind group possible, and with each day of following Magnetic Sponsoring methods, I am progressing in the proper way toward security in the coming years. Thank you for cutting a swath through this jungle of confusion and fear. I am a retired American woman living solely on my Social Security(not for long!), in a poverty ridden foreign country to care for 2 orphaned boys, and I know what I am learning from you, they will be able to learn too. Your work is empowering others to overcome the greatest evil of all…poverty.
Carolyn Blake
Mike,
I’ve come across your site, signed up for your emails, and am very impressed with the quality of your FREE content. You know your stuff
I’m watching one of your videos and you said something that really struck me. You see…I like to learn. I buy tons of books. But…I don’t put into action what I learn. And you said, something like…”Most people are lazy…they’re gonna ‘purchase’ hope.”
Wow!
That really hit me like a ton of bricks. I recently signed up at the highest (most expensive) level of a fairly new, up and coming network marketing company, by the encouragement of a good friend, who I would never have thought he would do it.
Now…I’m studying, reading like mad, but have no new distributors, and really no contacts to even go to.
Cheers,
Mike
Thanks for some of the resources. I think the crash courses at http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse are really help.
Hi Mike
When I get mail from you guys I always tend to ask myself,WHY DO THESE GUYS BOTHER to send me mail!!I go through,why wouldnt they just be spending their time helping people who are already in the business!!
Im not complaining because Im really greatful to find that in the business world there are still people who care to take people with them as they grow bigger.This is truelly what marks great businessmanship!!You guys are totally to be admired and even followed!!
Thanks again for the valuable information!!

thanks again

Mike,
My hat is off to you my man. Way to just put it out there. I sure hope more people take notice of what is going on. There is going to be big things happening soon. I am doing my best to recover and build for what is coming. We have hit some brick walls, but with a little effort we can conquer them. With the information you so graciously share and my drive and desire to win we should be fine. When I say we and talking about my family. I would include friends but they seam to have their head in the sand.
Keep up the good fight,

Talk soon, and thank you for all you do.

HiLLo mike that was very powerful.i do understand that there is a change in this world today.somethings i donot understand but i am willing to get the information and yes i will do that.thank you for that great and powerful information.i will get the books and i will read them thanks for everything.
Today one of my clients brought me a VW Beetle for attention. That’s not so unusual since I work on cars and have had thirty odd beetles over the years.
The unusual thing about this one is that the first owner kept a little black book in which she recorded everything that was done to the car … even a record of every liter of fuel poured in.
Here are some interesting extracts from the ‘Little Black Book’:
The car was delivered to the good lady, brand spanking new, on the 17th of January 1973 with the original invoice for a price of R1942. It was delivered with ONE RAND petrol in the tank and this amounted to 11.3 liters. (to convert Rand to US dollars divide by 7)
With petrol now around R8 per liter I was intrigued to work out just how much things have gone up in price, and how my portfolio would look if I had invested in three commodities back then.
So, R8 back then would have bought 90 liters of petrol. Today 90 liters will cost around R720. That means the price has gone up 90 times or 9000 %.
At that time an ounce of gold was R30. Today it is touching R1200. That is 40 times or 4000%
A property which was bought then for R30,000 is now valued at R1,200,000. That is 40 times or 4000%.
If, instead of buying a Beetle, the good lady had invested her R1942 in a stash of petrol it would now be worth about R174,000. (and walking would have been beneficial to her health!) Meanwhile the Beetle, being in very good condition, has just changed hands at R25,000.
The property on the other hand may have required a deposit of 10% … R3000. Then bond repayments would have cancelled the debt over 20 years. So in 1993 the property was fully paid and now constituted rent free accommodation for the past 15 years. Add that to the 4000% increase in ‘value’ and it looks like a pretty good investment.
The issue here is not so much about which commodity would have been the best investment … and does looking back hold a clue with regard to what course to follow from here … but about: What Happened to MONEY?
Is there a good reason for the price of goods and services to go up relentlessly?
Of course there is! It is precisely this scam which enables the ‘haves’ to acquire wealth at the expense of the ‘have nots’. It begins with the bankers and financial institutions who, through the mechanism of the ‘Fractional Reserve Banking System’ are able to create ‘money’ which does not exist and then ‘loan’ it to people at interest. And the loan so created now has to be repaid from honest effort and hard work…. often with real assets as colatteral. The inexorable rise in prices is the result because this increase in the money supply is inflationary and will tend to push prices up as it is released into the marketplace.
(Check Zimbabwe where everyone is a billionaire but they are starving to death)
The person who is able to secure title to real assets and build capital using money which is constantly being devalued by the unscrupulous actions of the banking cartel will be able to become wealthy since the assets he acquires will generally reflect the current (devalued/inflated) price at any given time. The person who is only able to generate enough income to cover basic every day needs such as food, shelter, clothing and transport is constantly facing the erosion of his buying power and is unable to acquire real assets.
On the other hand this erosion of buying power is reflected in the increased ‘value’ of assets, in money terms, owned by the rich. The first to benefit in the acquisition of real assets at the lowest prices are, of course, the bankers while the next in line are the already rich … who simply get richer.
The point of the little story above is that the petrol, the once of gold, and the property have not changed. It is the buying power of money that has changed.
Had the good lady kept a R100 note from back in ’73 it would only buy her R100 worth of goods today. And that would be around 4000% less than back in ’73.
That change, and the degree of change reflects the extent of the dishonesty … perhaps ‘downright theft’ is a more accurate label… perpetrated on the rest of us by the moneymasters.
Real wealth is about real assets. Money is merely an easily manipulated medium of exchange.
Thanks Mike…I am a newbie am learning so much from you
I would urge everyone to view The Moneymasters on google. It’s very long, but an excellent history of money and where we are today with our fractional reserve system. View it here: http://budurl.com/6bj6. Hans spoke of it, thought I should give the link.
Thanks Mike,
The information you give to people is always amazing. I am a newbie and because of you I have been forced to face my reality and make some big changes. I have also read Robert
Kiyosaki’s “Prophecy”. It is scary as well as eye opening. I am registered with Gold and Silver because of you. Thanks for always looking out.

WELL,
l have just finished digesting the Collapse and Prosper “documentary” video. Enormously powerful — not to mention conspicuously believable and its urgency is more than noteworthy. The messages in it, on a personal level, speak to the urgency with which any debt needs to be abolished, and opportunities in silver and/or gold should be pursued.
Thanks,
Lot of work to be done and not a whole lot of time to do it!

It’s good to read from you. I am greatly motivated to start magnetic Sponsoring. How can i get ur books from Nigeria.
Hi Mike, Thank you so much for sharing. Their should be alot more people like you. God Bless you your wife and family. I love everything you send out. Thank you, BJ
Whoa, keeping the fantasy going as long as they can.
Rich Dad’s Increase Your Financial IQ, read it a few times already. Now I daily read portions of it to let it keep soaking in.
I feel like rock n’ roll, and its time now to keep alive this entrepreneurial spirit that’s beginning to spread.
If you don’t wake up and realize you’re in the Information Age, then see you at the bottom buddy.
Hi Mike, now there is really no more of an excuse, if you keep your head in the sand metaphorically speaking. Thanks for the resources. However I have long been pointing out to all who wanted to learn and those who declared me a conspirationalist that the downward spiral in the US started with the creation of that ill begotten creature of the Fed. It is only thinly disguised, but those who want to know have enough sources of information to realize what the Fed really means: Systematic theft of the nations wealth. With your resources, it becomes even easier to become fully cognizant of what is going on. Thank you again, and keep doing it.
Thanks
Mike for show bme the way how to improve my own capital so i reqeust you to keep up to show me
Best regads
Juhud Felix
Thanks Mike. I’ve heard of Kiyosaki…but not the others. Chris Martenson’s crash course looks great. I’m currently checking out Felix Dennis’s book and it’s a great read.
Mike, As always… Great stuff!
Thanks for the insight and sharing.
I am remembered of a quote that I believe is appropriate…
“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” George Santayana, poet and philosopher.
This post, together with the December and January issues of inner circle are right on point. Keep up the great writing and the good fight.
Looking forward to continuing a wild ride in 2010.

Hi Mike, thank you so much for the information you provide. I have a question. How do you go about branding yourself and not the product.
Hello all,
I took Mike’s advice and watched the entire series over at http://www.chrismartenson.com/crashcourse and I emphatically URGE EVERYONE to view these videos. Chris Martenson is brilliant, the videos are super professional and packed with objective historical facts and figures that predict a rather somber future unless, unless, we exert some focused energy and change our ways. Please watch it. It’s required viewing!!

Hey Mike…I’m a big fan of yours, and I think you are a self-made genius from the school of hard knocks. But I do disagree with you on one issue. I will never donate another dollar to any other country’s disaster other than my own! Don’t get me wrong..I feel bad for the Haitians, but give me a break! Here in the US we have record homeless living in cardboard boxes, scrounging for their next meal, no opportunity for employment, no health care, and all because of the crooked political anarchy…current and past Presidents included.
I used to be proud to be an American, but today I could easily weep for what has happened to “the Land of the Free” over the past few years. If I had the chance I would leave the US and claim residence in another country. I am an avid student of the present state of the economy, and not just in my country, but globally.
I will be ready to collect Social Security in a few years, but will it be there for me? I think not! I have paid into it since the age of 16 when I got my first job. But, if the illegal immigrants are allowed to access the social security (when they have never paid into the system )that is in danger of not being available when baby boomers like myself reach retirement age, we will be lucky if there is a pittance left over for the American people who deserve it. Another pet peeve of mine is…if someone is coming to my country to live and take advantage of our so-called freedom, then if they don’t take the time to learn my language, they are a bunch of lazy asses just taking advantage of the system!
I am very interested in the state of the global economy and will certainly look into your reading recommendations, but I say to you unequivically that I am no longer proud to be an American! You probably won’t publish this, but that would just be another example of how we are slowly losing our constitutional rights…specifically, freedom of speech! Sorry if you see this as negative, but I see it as the truth of reality. Sharon Sandstrom
Hi Mike,
Thanks for all the post and e-mails that you send to me on a regular basis, I had being reading all of your newsletter since 3-4 years back. I only own your magentic sponoring and I am graduating from my studies soon.
The first think I am going to do is to go out and get a full time job and buy your other educational programs and build my business online! Thanks for all the wonderful insights you share regularly I don’t know how you find time to give so much value every week and I am really impress with the work that you have done.
I hope that 1 Day I might earn enough money to fly over to beautiful USA and pay a visit to you!

Hey Mike,
Thanks for the post. I have gone through everything that you suggested and it really opened my eyes.
Thanks a million,
Mitch
Mike is right I have been trying to tell everyone but they wont listen. So when the time comes I pray for financial mercy.
We must all participate and its our duty in my opinion to help everyone in need that is actively looking to achieve a better life and future.
Hi Mike – great stuff – thanks.
Just started on a few of your recommendations – thanks for the work.
REgards
Great post Mike, thank you for sharing your excellent resources. This is the information that will make or break your financial future and you must educate yourself when you want to come out on top!
Thank you so much for the information, your videos are also amazing very helpful
Hi Mike,
I would like to thank you for your great format, the way you explain things is great and very up to date and understanding. I like your suggested books and Web sights along with the 7 training videos.
I also agree with a previous post about Haiti, I will not give my hard earned money to any organization because I have seen first hand how the money is swindled and never makes it to the people who really need it. I live right in the back yard of World Vision; it is a 7 story building. Inside of the building they have lots of check points keeping you out of areas of the building you are not supposed to have access to. You need a special badge to get to the accounting department, as well as access to the president of World Vision, definitely no open door policy in that company. Do not get me wrong they do a lot of good around the world but the amount of money that never makes it to help people is amazing.
I totally agree with you on your prediction of what will be happening in the future. I actually see it happing already in my community.
I am looking forward to learning all that I can learn. My mind is one big sponge and I want to suck up as much knowledge from all the information that you have presented hear.
Dear Mike,
I have been like you however I have a different tale. People need to really get into this stuff now. You see, I am from Zimbabwe, a place where the collapse happened. Trust me when I say people have no idea what it means when the economy is divided into the extremely rich and the extremely poor.
I was there when President Mugabe started to print money. I watched the currency go into freefall. This is where I learnt my entrepreneurial stripes and trust me what is coming to terrible in a way that no American will really understand.
I watched as nearly everyone I knew lost everything. I was fortunate to come to quite a wealthy family so that we did not lose any assets or property during the economic changes. However many people lost everything.
At the same time I saw people become extremely wealthy literally overnight. One guy I went to school with has built a US100 million business in 7 years. There are a few people in Zimbabwe who literally came to own the country and live a lifestyle far superior than 99% of Americans. All this happened due to economic decline and freefall.
What I would suggest people do is take Mike’s words very seriously. Really you must for your life’s sake and the sake of your children and your children’s children. Take it from one who has lived through it and see it happen live, you do not want to be on the wrong side of the curb ball which is coming.
Hello Mike:
Many thanks for providing such awesome information. With this resource how can we not educate ourselves.
Great article, Mike. I’m like you. I’ve been a student of what’s happening in the U.S. economy since 2008. I have watched as the government has attempted to “fix” the problems in the economy.
I write many articles on the economy. I appreciate your views. I write specifically to the baby boomer generation and moms and dads who are confronted with difficult decisions because of the economic downturn.
I am a huge fan of Robert Kiyosaki and Kip Herriage and his VRA Letter.
I agree with you that the music will soon stop. We are in for major problems in the economy over the next few years. Most people don’t realize that.
Many people must make a major decision. They can follow follow people like you and your training. This will allow them to be on the winning side of the economic change that’s coming.
Or they can choose to not put in the effort. Unfortunately, I’m afraid this will result in difficulties for them in the future. Mike, like you say, we have all been warned.
Mike,
I want to thank you with all of my heart for the contributions you have made to my life.
First, in early 2009, I *finally* read Magnetic Sponsoring, and it changed my life. More than anything…despite the 5 figure monthly income I had, I realized I was not fully an Alpha.
A few months ago, your above post about “Collapse and Prosper” really impacted me. I’ve since added both of those Robert Kiyosaki/Michael Maloney books to my collection, and also been through all of Chris Martenson’s stuff. (I already own almost all of Kiyosaki’s other stuff…not to mention over 5 figures worth of internet marketing & network marketing books/audios/videos)
You see, I’ve spent most of my life ignoring history, the news, and even politics. I’ve always just dove into my love/profession, and buried my head there. This has served me well to stay focused, and stay optimistic, while mastering whatever it is I’m doing in life.
The recommendations from your post has really opened my eyes to seeing what’s happening in the world currencies…and also what has happened throughout history.
I’m now the proud owner of some Silver Bullion, and have found a new “why” to drive my business well beyond my current 5 figure/month mark.
I just wanted to write and thank you Mike…you have had a significant impact on my life in the past year, and you’ve allowed me to in turn impact thousands of others in a positive way. I look forward to continued learning from you, and I’m sure we’ll meet one day down the road.
To YOUR Ultimate Success,
Jason Cardamone
thank you Mike for your leadership, the time you spent on research and burden you must bear. you have help me see on the inside and i owe you alot , thank you again harold
Mike,
Thanks a lot for not only giving free insight into not only the USA economy, but also World or Global economy. In addition to that you advise us all on which resources to get all this infoprmation from. In short, what you are doing for us is,to give each one of us the sercets of your wisdom. Then,of cause there are your programs which are the icing on THE CAKE OF KNOWLEDGE.
THanks.
I can’t tell why yahoo sent me to your site but I might as well say I have become quite entertained by the information you have aggregated together. How many month did it take to end up with that many users to your page? I am pretty new to this blog thing.
Thanks Mike,
This is the 3rd. thing I have received worth reading this week on what is happening. I have been a student of R.K. since 2003. B/C of this, I have intentionally followed men of integrity who continually open my eyes to things I would have never known existed. I had to take that initiative. While I am a team driven, servant leader, the change had to begin with me. Listening to a CD on Creature from Jekyll Island a few months ago tipped the scale on how much & fast we need to be aware of things around us.
I appreciate you! (Hans contributed some great research too with the VW Beetle scenario!)

We are even more blown away with internet marketing due to seeing the way the the next generation interact with the online world through their technology. My 11 year old son just showed me a web system they had created to manage areas of interest for their online friends. They wanted to know how to setup marketing on the page to generate revenue. We are so very proud and amazed.
Hello Mike, I appreciate your content and value as always. As well as the links to additional products. We are surely in for a rough ride in this world that we have created. I am glad that you have the foresight as to what is happening and are willing to share it with us. Thanks, Andrew Gallop
Can’t believe I missed this earlier this year! It is perfect timing!
This validates what we are taught as 5% thinkers. I am thankful I am associated with global leaders who educate us through a proven system how to read the writing on the wall.
Your article proves the rules have changed.
Thanks Mike,
Geneva Murphy
