Light Bulbs and Starvation

Recently, I decided to watch local television (what I refer to as the "peasant channels") in order to make sure I was talking about the subjects most needed by a lot of investors. Here's what I discovered, according to my local news:

  1. We're running out of food.
  2. We're running out of energy.
  3. Gas prices are unaffordable by anyone's standards.

In short, the world is coming to an end!

Gimme a second to wipe the tears out of my eyes from laughing so hard to explain something to you about the 3 points mentioned above:

  1. Food: When you go to the grocery store, what do you see on every single shelf? FOOD – in mass quantities. In his book called "The Science of Getting Rich", Wallace Wattles talks about the fact that when you run out of something or use up all you have of something, more will be provided...And it always is. We grow more, we import/export more, and we go right on eating and living. It's only those who can't concentrate on creating excess in their own lives that create false worry in others by painting a picture of famine. What do you think that says about their bank accounts as well? Poverty in the mind breeds poverty in the bank!
  2. Energy: There's a commercial out right now by BP (British Petroleum, the gas/oil company). You know the one where they're "interviewing" people on the street and they give some BS answers about energy like:
  • "These oil companies should be finding new sources of energy instead of just oil."
  • "The oil companies should diversify."
  • "What will we do when the oil runs out???"

This is a problem! It was people like that who waited for Henry Ford to create a car for them instead of inventing one themselves! Or those who waited for Edison to craft the light bulb instead of making one and selling it to the world! Or who sat around while Ben Franklin made the lightening rod that you see on buildings everywhere instead of inventing their own. Too many people wanna wait for someone else to fix their problems rather than owning up to them and getting out of the mess themselves. Why do you think our current foreclosure rate is through the roof?

  1. Gas prices: How much do you hear about Warren Buffet complaining about the price of gas? Or Bill Gates? Or Donald Trump? Or Robert Kiyosaki? Or me? Betcha most wealthy business owners don't even know how much gas even costs right now! Not because they don't care (well, partly…) but because they're concerned with making more money rather than worrying about how/where they spend it.

    Your thoughts betray what you keep at your core. If you worry about losing money, you will. If you concentrate on creating more, you will.

Next time you hear someone talking about us running out of food, picture any US citizen on one of those "Feed the Children" commercials. It's foolish to even think of because we're all getting so fat, overweight, and obese, right?

Our nation's main concern right now is running out of financially conscious individuals who can create profit where there appears to be none and teaching others how to do the same!

That's what my personal mission is, and that's why I love to teach people how to become wealthy using Cashflow Real Estate as a vehicle. I'll teach you how to do it too at my FREE Real Estate Lifestyle Training Events. Click here to find out when the next one's are.

In the meantime, the next time someone complains about how much a gallon of gas is worth, tell them go find someone else to complain to!
