This is exactly how we are creating our dream lifestyle.

The amount of money that can be made is so massive, it can seem unreal. BUT I AM TELLING YOU - IT IS REAL. See for yourself. There are no secrets, only people who take massive action to get it for themselves.

Many people want to get started in a home business to live the dream lifestyle, but few take action. I believe it is because they don't believe they will actually succeed. This fear is wrapped around the idea that they don't know what to do, or they don't know if they can do what they need to do. It is an honest, legitimate fear that will keep most in a paralyzed state.

I can always tell when someone is fearful, (probably based on their past), and even if they know they have everything lined up to succeed, they still doubt. We have an amazing co-op with our business. Which means that you can actually jump in, take it seriously like any franchise or brick and mortar business, and have results quickly. This is rare, and unique, and takes the edge off of a new person who may not know all the ins and outs of running a successful proven home business.

Your biggest hurdle will be to learn to get out of your own way. I can not stress this enough. Be confident that those who lead you know what they are doing. They have results, they have a proven system. It will be up to you to either jump start your business, or stay in fear.

After spending years as a brick and mortar business owner, jump starting your home business with a co-op is one of the easiest ways to get going, make money quickly, and learn quickly by watching how the process works. Seriously, it could not be any easier. Don't under-estimate the power of this!

Now get out of your way and live your dream life. Quit being in fear and scrambling around! Step into your own power and the life you deserve!

Jump start your business NOW!

It is inspiring to see what their passions are, what causes they are helping, and to see how many great people there are in this world. Without people reaching out the hand to help, we would all not be given the chance to rise above a challenge we might be in.

One of the great people we have met through our business is Kijana. What impresses me the most about Kijana is his passion to help others, his commitment to extend a helping hand to really great causes. Kijana is truly a leader, and he and his family are doing great things. They don't stop - it is a commitment that they do throughout the year, and that is an example we should all follow.

Kijana sent me some information about one of his projects. He is a musician (another impressive quality about Kijana), and he has the opportunity to help the American Heart Association. He will be singing as some of their fund raisers, and he has a FANTASTIC TOOL that we all can use, and the money they raise will help an enormous amount of people. We all search everyday - use this tool and help two really great causes.

]]>Earn The Six Figure Income You Deserve - On Your Own Termshttp://www.wealthcreationtemplate.com/blog/2010/1/27/earn-the-six-figure-income-you-deserve-on-your-own-terms.htmlGuy & Michele Luminato2010-01-27T16:41:44Zearn six figures earn six figures work from home onlineAs I talk with people who have joined our team, it is clear they all want to achieve and earn a multiple six figure income. The part they don't always understand is how to get there. Our mission is to help anyone without prior experience of the internet to achieve their dream lifestyle. It does require work - it does require determination. To earn six figures - it requires that you believe you deserve it, and you will get it.

All these people have different reasons for changing their lifestyle. Some have corporate burn-out, and are looking for what is next. Some want to know exactly how we went from $19k - a Six figure income by the age of 30, and how they can have it too. Some are in MLMs and want to know how to avoid the common pitfalls of MLM lead deprivation, and learn how to have people hunt them down. Some are competitive and want to learn how to kick their upline's butt by getting MLM leads fast. And some come to us because they realize that their MLM comp plan will probably not pay them what their worth, and if it does it could take 5 years to reach that goal.

They find us because they want change, they want a new way to live their life, and they all want to learn how to finally make the multiple six figure income they have been dreaming about.

They all want it, but will they all take action to get it? Unfortunately only 3% of all those people have the courage and determination to do what it takes to live their dream lifestyle. These 3% are different, they take action whole heartedly, they have learned to listen to their instincts and go with great opportunities. Others will ponder, question their desires, and look around for another "easier" way.

The bottom line - it takes the same amount of work to find "easier" ways, and in fact, their is no proven way to make a multiple six figure income that is "easy". If you are looking for an easy way - it is not going to happen. You might as well stop looking, and go get a job. You are wasting your time and energy.

For those who realize they have to do the work themselves, and follow the proven methods of other successful people, and surround themselves with people who can show you the way - they will undoubtedly reach their goal.

Just remember, when you do make the money, it comes in fast, and you have to have a plan and knowledge to know what to do with your money so you can finally be financially free. Don't be one of those many people who have made a ton of money, and lost it all.

Are you a 3%er? Dream it, design it, live it.

]]>Visual Branding - upgrade and be realhttp://www.wealthcreationtemplate.com/blog/2010/1/25/visual-branding-upgrade-and-be-real.htmlGuy & Michele Luminato2010-01-26T04:58:45ZVisual Branding visual branding website designYou might be thinking - have I been to their site before? This doesn't look familiar. This is the new FACE of our visual branding. The truth is we have been so busy producing content, immersed in solid marketing methods, and building relationships that we haven't tended to our own "look", "brand image" on this site. It has been neglected. With a design background, it has been a bit annoying to tell you the truth - we are like the cobblers who don't have new shoes. Everytime I posted on this site, the designer in me wanted to revamp. Finally we did it!

Why? Here is the reason why we did it. Yes, we like to be current, and have a modern design because that is our personal taste, but the real reason why we did it was so that you could get to know us better. We wanted to provide insight to who we are, what we like, and how we can help you. We have been in the design and marketing field for 20+ years, and been entrepreneurs for the last decade. Yes, we are old enough to have a twenty year career. (Working on staying healthy is our favorite free time activity - when the kids are napping.)

We hope you get a chance to visit the site again, and comment on our new look for the site. We will be adding new content and rebranding our extended brand sites. Stay tuned, and let us know how we can help you. Seriously, we would love to help you how ever we can. If we can't provide you with the exact answers you are looking for - we will point you to the people who can.

In the meanwhile, post a comment, and sign off with your link - we would like to get to know you better. Visit us on Twitter. Guy - twitter.com/guyluminato, Michele - twitter.com/micheleluminato

]]>Are you an overnight success?http://www.wealthcreationtemplate.com/blog/2010/1/22/are-you-an-overnight-success.htmlGuy & Michele Luminato2010-01-22T16:25:34Zproven home business success tips success tipsI have had time to reflect on our lives with friends that have know us a while, and am so grateful for what has happened in our lives. Many people who don't know us may think we are an overnight success in the home business industry. But in reality, we have been working on our skill set as entrepreneurs for some time. Like you, we had some successes and failures, and mostly stepping stones to get to the next level. The biggest shift in our success happened when we started focusing ONLY on what we want, and eliminating any distractions or things that we didn't want. If you are in a place of transition, wondering how to get to the next level, and jump to an overnight success, here is the exact process we went through.

1. Identify what you want and write it down. Be really clear, and focus on what your life will look like.

2. Clear out the clutter, distractions, and things that do not support or focus on what you want.

3. Draw a line in the sand, and take action to get what you want. Decide that you will get it, and the how will reveal itself.

4. Stick with it, determination is the key to success.

5. You become an overnight success. (We know it wasn't really overnight, because you have been working hard like the rest of us.)

6. Be grateful everyday for what you have, and the blessings you will receive.

Being an overnight success has it rewards, and one of the best gifts is passing this on to someone else who can completely transform their life. Share your experience, and show others how you did it. We will wish you success in all your endeavors.

Everytime you read it, you take it in a dfferent way that brings you to the next level. One of the pieces that I find interesting is what is standing in most people's way of bringing them success. He says there are 6 ghosts of fear, which he goes into, but before he tells you about them he clearly states that you have to understand the three enemies that lead to fear.

It starts with indecision, then doubt, and then leads to fear. He says indecision is the seedling of fear. Then indecision crystallizes into doubt, and then the two blend and become fear. This process might be slow, and undetected. They are so dangerous because they grow without even being noticed.

You probably can think of something that you have had indecision on, and then instead of moving forward you stall out and begin to doubt, and then before you know it - you are fearful. Most all people have fears that boil down to six areas. The basic fear of poverty, criticism, bad health, loss of love, old age, and death.

Look at your fears straight in the eye. You may not be aware that you are fearful. Look at something you have indecision about and you will see your fear directly face to face. Your next challenge is to then do something about it. If you have a fear of poverty, start reframing your thinking into a successful money making machine. Your mind will be your strength or weakness. You have to tell it what you want.

If you haven't read this book. Do it. And if you have read it, do it again, and again! Tackle the fear creeper.

]]>Extreme Productivity Tools - mind blowing tipshttp://www.wealthcreationtemplate.com/blog/2010/1/13/extreme-productivity-tools-mind-blowing-tips.htmlGuy & Michele Luminato2010-01-13T18:20:56Zproductivity tips productivity tools success tipsAll leaders know that capturing their day in the most productive way is the only way they will reach their goals. The are extremely focused, and have a strategy to their madness. We have had the privilege of learning from the best in the industry like, Gregg Davison, Andrew Cass, and Michael Force. All three of those guys have opening shared how they capture their day. Andrew Cass has recently shared some of his EXTREME tips, and to me they don't seem as extreme as they seem necessary. Here is a brief outline of how we apply these extreme techniques to our life.

With all that in mind - consider this quote as the underlying thread.
"Your success is determined by your daily agenda." - John Maxwell.
That is so true!

EXTREME PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS

TIP #1 - Break free from the time management myth
You can not manage time, you can only manage yourself in time. READ THAT AGAIN. You will also want to manage your mental energy, and what you spend your time thinking about. If you think negative, more negative thoughts will come. If think positive, more positive and creative thoughts will come. Manage your physical energy - without this your brain will be fussy, and less productive. When you manage your time, assign scheduled time for certain things, and avoid multi-tasking. Multi-tasking will only keep you scattered and less efficient. (As a mom and dad of two small children, this one is key for us.)

TIP #2 - Tackle being overwhelmed on a schedule.
That sounds pretty funny, doesn't it? It is true, let me explain. How you view overwhelm will determine how you handle it. Being overwhelmed is the reality that we live in - during the information age. Schedule intake by scheduling learning, process, and planning your strategy. Create a system by doing things in a pattern and being consistent. Look at as management of information. You will need to disconnect from the world, and get time to generate ideas, creative time by scheduling a few hours or a day of the week to process this information, and generate how you can implement them. Journal this, track all of this. Batch things like emails, phone calls, and productive time. Put a start time and a finish time to an assigned task. If you don't answer your phone or email for a day or two, life will still go on. Consider turning off all distracting things a few days of the week to keep focused.

TIP #3 - Overcome the biggest time sucker in your life.
Distractions are the biggest time sucker you have in your life. They include things like emails, phones, text messages, and people. People are by far the biggest time suckers. Again, this is related to being productive and keeping a schedule of productive time. What are you allowing in your environment that will distract you? WHO do you allow in your space in a reactive mode? You automatically react to a person(s) without thinking, and let them distract you. When these distractions come up, set up boundaries. No email, no phone, in the morning focus on revenue producing activities. For Guy and myself, shutting off the phone or email is easy, but with two small kids, we have to set aside quality time for our kids. We plan our day around them, and making sure they have what they need so we can focus on productivity in the scheduled time slot, and not do multi-tasking. Many of you moms know we are queen multi-taskers and even think we were created for this purpose. This shift is important to make sure we too can be productive.

TIP #4 - Leveraging your environment
This is key. Identify the best environment for maximum productivity. Where are you the best at copy writing? You want to focus your energy, and some environments are distracting. This is about having spaces that bring out the best you. If you are copy writing, the environment will most likely be different then sending emails, or phone calls. Where is the space that allows you to study the best? Intake of information is important to digest without any distractions. Find inspiring areas, solitude areas, and productive zones. It could be your home office, kitchen table, sitting on the deck, or going to a Starbucks. You decide, and assign spaces to your scheduled tasks.

TIP #5 - Place a dollar value on your time.
You will never be able to waste another hour without feeling guilty again. This is a formula that comes from experienced multi-seven figure earners. Write out this formula, and assign your hourly worth.
You project what your income goals are for the year. For example - $200,000.
You then look at 250 work days a year x 3 hours a day. (Not 8 hours - because you really only have 3 hours of revenue producing hours in a day.)
So that leaves you with about 750 hours a year that are revenue producing hours. You take your income goal, for our example $200,000 - and divide it by 750 hours = hourly worth rate of $266.66.
As your income goals expand you can see how your hourly rate goes up. I don't know about you, but clearly not an hour should be wasted if your income goals are like ours. You will easily have an hourly worth of $1000+ if you are on track to be a seven figure earner. Take this seriously, and consider it with every move you make in the day.


Let's summarize, follow this plan and you are sure to be an expert in productivity.
You can not manage time, you can only manage yourself in time
Tackle being overwhelmed on a schedule
Distractions are the biggest time sucker you have in your life
Leverage your environment
Place a dollar value on your time

A special thanks to Andrew Cass for sharing his top tips for others to learn and use for themselves. Do not under estimate the power of these tips. It could be a game changer for you too.

]]>Proven Home Business - Top Earner Recognizes Michele Luminato and Guy Luminato as Leadershttp://www.wealthcreationtemplate.com/blog/2010/1/11/proven-home-business-top-earner-recognizes-michele-luminato.htmlGuy & Michele Luminato2010-01-11T19:28:53Zguy luminato leadership michele luminato proven home businessIt is a honor to be considered a leader in this industry in a proven home business, and by people who are top earners - the best at what they do. It was my privilege to present to Michael Force's team on Saturday on how to excel in visual branding.

I am recognized as a leader because of what I provide for the community. I am no different than you. I am confident that I have value to offer. I am confident that I will ALWAYS achieve my goals. Am I different than you? Possibly, in mindset.

You can not be a leader in any community without the belief that you are. I am going to say that again. YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE you are a leader. Do you expect others to believe you are a leader if you don't believe in it yourself? You might be saying, "I don't have anything to offer yet, or I'm not an expert yet." Do you think that everyone achieved expert levels from the beginning? NO. They applied themselves, and decided to be an expert, and therefore became one. It is that simple. Is it easy? No, not all the time. But the resources are there for you. If you want to excel and become a leader in a proven home business opportunity, you have to take a chance on yourself, get clear on your goals and get focused. No one can anoint you a leader but yourself. Step up to the plate. This is a new year, and you can really get what you want. We are here to support your success. You have to be the one that takes action.

]]>Multilevel Marketing MLM - sink or swim?http://www.wealthcreationtemplate.com/blog/2010/1/5/multilevel-marketing-mlm-sink-or-swim.htmlGuy & Michele Luminato2010-01-05T18:02:53Zmultilevel marketing mlm multilevel marketing mlmI often wonder when people join a multilevel marketing mlm opportunity if they are just joining on hope or do they really believe they can have the promised residual income? Usually within the first few conversations (if not the first one) I can detect whether they are serious or curious.
The reality is that if they don't believe 100%, they will sink and they will not trust themselves or the opportunities they encounter. Timing has everything to do with being in the right place at the right time. Some people will let circumstances and bad timing stop them from taking the opportunity. YOU have to determine how bad you want something, like we did. Opportunities will pass you buy, if you are always waiting for the perfect moment, or the perfect extra money to get started. The perfect time is now, and the money to get started will reveal itself. If you don't make that decision, it just plain - won't happen. Decisions will set you free. Action will set you free. Make a decision today about how you really want to live your life, and stop being a dreamer that isn't a doer. It takes the same amount of energy to wish as it does to do. The heart breaks are less when you actually put your plan into action. Multilevel marketing mlm opportunities are a dime a dozen. Don't get caught up in one that is not proven, has old school methods that trigger suffering, and learn from mentors that will teach how to really run this like a real business. You have to treat your business like any other CEO, and do what it takes. We are passionate about showing people how. Once you have discovered the secrets, you will never go back to the old life you had. SWIM.
