Our latest guest on The One Way Ticket Show is world-renowned Garden Designer, Madison Cox. The interview was conducted in September 2024 in the Willis Pavilion, beside the house today known as Villa Oasis which was built by French Orientalist painter, Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s, and later owned by Yves Saint Laurent & Pierre Bergé. Adjacent to the home is the famed Majorelle Garden. Madison was born September 23, 1958, in Bellingham, Washington, and raised in San Francisco and Marin County, California. As a garden designer and author of books about gardens, he has traveled extensively across the United States and Europe as well as to Japan, China, Russia, India, North Africa, and Australia. Madison's passion for garden design has also extended to lecturing, leading garden tours in France and Italy, and book publications. He has lectured across the United States and Canada: at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. and the Art Institute of Chicago, as well as at the Portland Garden Club and the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto. Madison Cox is the author of Private Gardens of Paris (Harmony Books, 1989), co-author of Gardens of the World (Macmillan, 1991), and with photographer Erica Lennard, of Artists' Gardens: from Claude Monet to Jennifer Bartlett (Abrams, 1993), and Majorelle: A Moroccan Oasis (Vendome Press, 1999). Cox wrote the preface for The Gardener's Garden (Phaidon, 2014). He was the first American to design a garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in London in 1997, and won a Silver-Gilt Medal. Madison is a member of the following institutions: - President, Fondation Pierre Berge – Yves Saint Laurent, Paris, France - President, Foundation Jardin Majorelle, Marrakech, Morocco - Co-Chairman of the American Schools of Tangier and Marrakech in Morocco - Advisory Board Member, The Aangan Trust, Mumbai, India - Patron, American Friends of Blérancourt, France - Board of Directors TALIM (The American Legation in Morocco) In our conversation, Madison shares his one way ticket destination of choice is to Morocco. His first visit to the country was in 1979. While he was a student in Paris, Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé invited him as part of a small group down to Marrakech for a long weekend. During our sit-down, Madison covers: - The difference between Marrakech in the 1970s and today - The nostalgia for Tangier (where Madison has a home) - The rich backstory behind Villa Oasis and the Majorelle Garden - Yves Saint Laurent's love for Morocco (he first visited in 1966) and how the country significantly impacted his work - The Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts which is housed in the former painting studio of Jacques Majorelle, in the garden - The Yves Saint Laurent Museum in Marrakech - How Morocco has impacted his own approach to designing gardens. Plus, J. Paul Getty, Edith Wharton, Winston Churchill, FDR, and the photographer Horst, all make appearances in the interview.
This Negotiation Club Podcast episode Philip Brown (LinkedIn) has the amazing John Lowry (LinkedIn) as a guest to discuss "The Last Penny" negotiation tactic highlighting the balance between securing a good deal and preserving relationships for long-term value. John shared an impactful story from one of his mentors, who, despite relentless efforts to negotiate a discount for a $15,000 furniture set, encountered a store policy of zero negotiation. Even a simple $14.99 repair pen was non-negotiable, leading to feelings of dissatisfaction despite the purchase. This strict adherence to policy cost the store a future customer and generated negative word-of-mouth. The core lesson emphasised by Lowry was the value of yielding “the last penny” as a strategic investment in the relationship. He referred to a J. Paul Getty quote that encapsulates the idea: if you insist on making every penny in a deal, you risk having fewer deals overall. This tactic suggests giving a perceived win to the other party to create goodwill and encourage repeat business, which sophisticated negotiators understand is essential for long-term success. Key takeaways included understanding the psychology behind making concessions at the right time to maintain a positive relationship. This involves ensuring that the other party feels victorious, even if the gain is minor, thus boosting their perception of the deal and making future collaborations more likely NEGOTIATION TACTIC - The Last Penny (Page) For more details on The Last Penny tactic and other negotiation techniques, visit The Negotiation Club's website.

Paul Getty był wnukiem miliardera. Wkrótce pojawiły się listy i telefony od porywaczy, którzy żądali kilku milionów euro w zamian za wypuszczenie chłopaka. Jednak jego dziadek nie chciał zapłacić wymaganej kwoty. Obawiał się, że wnuk upozorował wszystko tylko po to, by wyłudzić od niego pieniądze. Co takiego naprawdę się wydarzyło?

Eric Siu's take on 'How to Be Rich' by J. Paul Getty challenges conventional wisdom. He paints business as an art, not just a money machine, and argues that true leaders must get their hands dirty—no room for passive CEOs here. He dives into the darker side of success, questioning whether wealth truly enriches life or just complicates it.

This Day in Legal History: Economic Opportunity ActThis day in legal history, on August 20, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act into law, a cornerstone of his ambitious "War on Poverty." The Act allocated $1 billion to fund social programs aimed at alleviating poverty across the United States. It created initiatives like Job Corps, which provided education and vocational training to young people, and Head Start, a program focused on early childhood education. The legislation also established community action programs designed to empower local communities to fight poverty by giving them control over how federal funds were spent. The Economic Opportunity Act was a key element of Johnson's broader "Great Society" vision, which sought to eliminate poverty and racial injustice while improving education, healthcare, and housing. Though the Act faced criticism for its effectiveness and implementation, it marked a significant federal commitment to social welfare. It laid the groundwork for subsequent anti-poverty programs and remains a pivotal moment in the history of U.S. social policy.For context and as stated, the act set aside $1 billion for social programs. The richest American of the 1960s was J. Paul Getty, with a net worth of right around $1.2 billion. Therefore, the program set aside about 83% of the net worth of the wealthiest American of the day. If a similar program was enacted today, Elon Musk is the wealthiest American with a net worth of about $195 billion–so a comparable program would need to set aside approximately $162 billion for social welfare programs. Today, Job Corps has a yearly budget of just $1.8 billion and Head Start just $12.5 billion for a combined total of about $15 billion – we have quite a ways to go. A group advocating for changes to Ohio's redistricting process has filed a lawsuit against the Ohio Ballot Board, accusing it of misleading voters with biased language regarding a proposed constitutional amendment. The group, Citizens Not Politicians, argues that the board's nearly 900-word description of the measure, which will appear on the November ballot, is designed to prejudice voters against the amendment. The lawsuit asks the Ohio Supreme Court to require the board to use new, neutral language that complies with state law. The board's description suggests that voting "yes" would create a taxpayer-funded commission required to gerrymander districts, which the plaintiffs claim is misleading. The case is expected to be expedited due to the upcoming election.Ohio Redistricting Activists Sue Over GOP-Passed Ballot ProposalWalt Disney Co. has agreed to have a Florida wrongful death lawsuit resolved in court, reversing its earlier stance that the case should go to arbitration. The lawsuit was filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, whose wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, died from an allergic reaction after dining at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs, Orlando. The couple allegedly chose the restaurant due to Disney and Raglan's assurances about accommodating food allergies. Initially, Disney argued that it wasn't liable, claiming it had no control over the restaurant's operations. Later, Disney suggested the case should go to arbitration based on Piccolo's Disney+ subscription, the arbitration clause in the terms of service for that streaming service, and his use of the company's website. However, Disney has now decided to waive arbitration to expedite the case in court, expressing a desire to address the family's loss with sensitivity.Disney agrees to have Florida wrongful death lawsuit decided in court | ReutersU.S. expatriates are frustrated with the IRS's proposed rules on foreign-trust reporting, particularly regarding the classification and reporting of foreign retirement plans. Many foreign retirement accounts are considered foreign trusts, requiring Americans abroad to report them to the IRS, which can be complex and unclear. Despite the IRS's efforts to revise these rules, expatriates and tax professionals feel that the new proposals don't provide enough clarity on who needs to report and which retirement plans are affected, leaving many in financial uncertainty. Over 1,500 comments were submitted to the IRS, with expatriates expressing anxiety and confusion about their obligations. Practitioners highlight that the ambiguity in these rules can lead to severe penalties for non-compliance, making it difficult for taxpayers to understand their responsibilities. The IRS's public hearing on the matter is expected to focus heavily on the need for clearer guidance, particularly on foreign retirement plans, with calls for broader exemptions and more comprehensive relief.Americans Abroad Want Relief From IRS on Foreign-Trust ReportingThe EPA argues that the challengers to the Biden administration's power plant carbon limits are unlikely to succeed on the merits of their case. The EPA asserts that its carbon capture technology standard and related limits are based on well-established scientific and technical judgments, which fall within the agency's statutory authority under the Clean Air Act. The EPA's power plant carbon limits set new standards for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas power plants, focusing on carbon capture and storage technology. The rule requires that existing long-term coal plants implement technology to capture 90% of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2032. It also mandates that medium-term coal plants co-fire with natural gas at 40% of their annual heat input by 2030. For new gas plants operating at a significant capacity, the same 90% carbon capture standard applies. The EPA argues that these standards are based on proven technologies that can feasibly reduce emissions, aligning with the agency's traditional regulatory approach of improving the environmental performance of individual power plants.The EPA contends that the rule adheres to the traditional regulatory approach by focusing on technologies that reduce emissions at individual sources, rather than enforcing a generation shift across the energy grid, as the Supreme Court found problematic in the earlier West Virginia v. EPA case. The EPA also argues that carbon capture technology is not only adequately demonstrated but also achievable within the set timelines, based on extensive evidence from current and past projects. Additionally, the EPA claims that the potential impact on coal plants, including possible closures, is incidental and does not invalidate the rule. They stress that the rule's compliance deadlines are reasonable and that states have flexibility in their implementation plans. The EPA concludes that a stay would cause irreparable harm by allowing continued carbon emissions and that the court should deny the stay applications.EPA Urges Supreme Court to Block Bid to Freeze Power Plant Rule This is a public episode.

J. Paul Getty was the wealthiest person in the world for 3 decades from the 1950's to the 1970's! His list of accomplishments are mind-blowing. At the end of his life, it's estimated that his net worth would be worth $27 billion is today's dollars. He was very wealthy. I heard this quote when I was a new business owner in the Amway business in 2002 and it has stuck with me for 20 years. “I'd rather have 1% of the effort of 100 men than 100% of my own effort.” - J. Paul Getty At the time I heard this, I was an engineer working full time and earning $50,000 per year off 100% of my own effort. I saw Amway business owners with teams of 100+ people earned 1-4% off the production of each team member and earning $500,000 per year. This quote hit me right between the eyes. However, I went another route as a solo cleaning specialist after my days as an engineer and multi-level marketer. I decided it was best for me to optimize what I could produce. In other words, how much could I make in how little time could I produce off 100% of my own effort? In my first solo cleaning business, the results were strong. I earned $55,000 and $70,000 per year profit off 2 days cleaning per week in each business respectively. Both provided a decent engineer level lifestyle so I could enjoy time with my family. However, it would never create freedom and lifestyle money. It would never create time, money, and location freedom. This is what I desired.I'm in a different position now where I am growing a cleaning business and I'm learning a lot about myself. This is an episode for the solo cleaner who is thinking about scaling and has fear or would never scale and has arrogance about it like I used to. Let's break down some numbers. The average cleaning technician can create $50,000 of annual revenue for a cleaning company. If you're a solo, that's $50,000 for you. Applying J. Paul Getty's advice, the numbers are totally different. A cleaning team of 100 people would produce $5M in revenue. If you only earned the 1% that Getty quoted, you'd earn $50,000 per year without having to clean. But the reality is much better. A $5M company ought to pay out 15% to the owner. This is $750,000 per year income for the owner and they don't have to clean. Let's play a game of Would You Rather.Would you rather work solo and optimize your business on 100% of your effort working 2-3 days per week for $75,000 per year income? Or would you rather build a company and team to $5 million revenue, lead, and earn $750,000 per year income working on your business to lead your team? In the first example, you have no pressure of employees. You do all the work and have a simple life. You just better make sure to stay healthy, travel for short stints of a few days at a time, and budget really, really good. In the second example, you build a massive company, earn more than you can imagine, and live a life of total freedom. They each have their pros and cons. This episode isn't looking to persuade you, rather get you thinking.Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

In a recent Solo Elite Membership Call, the conversation focused on commercial cleaning. I made one statement about the price per hour decreasing with increasing building size. This does not compute to the Solo Optimizer's mindset. Why would you charge less as it gets bigger? You would lose a lot of profit. This is absolutely true through the lens of the Solo Optimizer's Mindset where success is measured by the best trade of profit you can make for the time you decide to leave your family each day. In the ISO Model Course, this metric is called the Workday Value (WDV). With the Solo Optimizer's Mindset of trading, there is no way a solo could charge less per hour for a larger building. Larger janitorial companies will come in at half the price and win every time. Solos cannot compete. This is why I heavily endorse a solo's commercial niche to be under 10,000 square foot buildings. The Scaling or Entrepreneur's Mindset is totally different. They are not trading their personal time. They have built reproducible systems through a team of employees. Therefore, they are selling manhours like the electric company sells kilowatt hours. In the scaling mindset, they are willing to drop the hourly cost of manhours to get larger buildings. This earns them a lot more volume and ultimately, a lot more profit. I shared in this clip that the Solo Optimizer can max out at $100- $150 per hour cleaning by themselves. This is amazing. It's what I did and it's what I teach in the ISO Model and the Solo Elite Membership. There is tremendous freedom possible in this career path with the Solo Optimizer's Mindset. Just realize that there is another level beyond this that you can only accomplish through duplication. J. Paul Getty is famous for this quote.“Would you rather have 100% of the effort off of you or 1% of the effort off of 100 people?” This is the central question between these two mindsets. The Solo Optimizer will maximize the 100% off the 1, while the Scaling Mindset seeks to maximize the number of 1% checks. You can earn a level of freedom as an Entrepreneur far beyond the freedom of the Solo Optimizer. It's a matter of choice.The end of this mindset and the question of which final career path to choose lies at the end of the Solo Elite Roadmap. Optimize first to freedom. Then you can either STAY, SELL, or SCALE to obtain further freedom. That's why we do this membership.I want to formally invite you to join the Solo Elite Membership. What is it? It's the only system for solo cleaners to optimize your solo cleaning business to earn six figures without the drama of employees! Or if you want to earn full time income through part time cleaning without employees.

On vous raconte ce soir le kidnapping en 1973, à Rome, du petit-fils de Paul Getty, l'homme le plus riche du monde à cette époque. Ridley Scott en a fait un film, sorti en décembre 2017, son titre :« Tout l'argent du monde ». Le 10 juillet 1973, John Paul Getty Junior, 16 ans et demi, petit-fils du premier milliardaire de l'histoire américaine, est enlevé en plein cœur de Rome, par un groupe de ravisseurs masqués. Le jeune homme vivait en Italie depuis plusieurs années car son père, John Paul Getty II y dirigeait la branche locale de l'entreprise pétrolière familiale.
Su visión empresarial, su extraordinaria ambición y su formidable intelecto le convirtieron en el hombre más rico de su época, pero también hicieron de él un personaje controvertido con fama de avaro. Getty era un hombre de formidable intelecto, vasta cultura, ávido lector y capaz de hablar en siete idiomas, entre ellos el árabe. Gracias a esta última capacidad, Getty logró dar un golpe empresarial que le hizo pasar de común millonario al hombre más rico de su época. Clara Ruiz de Gauna, redactora jefe del periódico y autora de la saga sobre los personajes que han hecho historia en el mundo financiero que se publica todas las semanas en EXPANSIÓN, y los redactores del periódico Amaia Ormaetxea y Antonio Santamaría analizan el legado de este magnate del petróleo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a CreepSeason 22, Episode 10The Kidnapping of J. Paul Getty IIIIn 1973, at the age of 16, John Paul Getty III was kidnapped in Italy. The kidnappers initially demanded a ransom of $17 million, but J. Paul Getty, the boy's grandfather and one of the wealthiest men in the world at the time, initially refused to pay. The kidnappers then sent a lock of the young Getty's hair and his severed right ear to a newspaper to pressure the family.Eventually, J. Paul Getty agreed to pay a reduced ransom amount, and his grandson was released after being a captive for several months. This story inspired a feature film by Ridley Scott and a ten-part series featuring our favorite Hollywood comeback story--Brendan Fraser. This story has it all--miserable rich people, hippies, Italian mafiosos, and strained family relationships—trigger warning: addiction & kidnapping.

On July 9, 1973, 16-year old Paul Getty made plans to hang out with friends at a local pizzeria. During the early morning hours of July 10, 1973, Paul began making his way back to his apartment when a car pulled up alongside him. A man asked if he was Paul Getty, and when he said yes, Paul was pulled into the car and knocked out with chloroform. What Paul didn't know is that his kidnappers had a plan to extort his grandfather for $17M dollars in ransom. Only things didn't go as planned. Paul Getty's grandfather, John Paul Getty, Sr., was not only an oil tycoon and one of the richest men in the world, but he was very eccentric and a shrewd businessman. He flat out refused to pay the ransom until five months later, when Getty Sr. and the kidnappers finally reached an agreement. Not allowing anyone to have the last word, however, Getty made the exchange, but not without strings attached.Dying to be Found and Dying to be Found: The DASH are now part of Sound Slice Audio Productions!

A Man's Perspective on Business and Life was a film prepared for the employees of Getty Oil Company and Skelly Oil Company shortly before J. Paul Getty's death on June 6, 1976, at age 83. James C. Leake and journalist Bob Gregory produced a 10-part series on Oklahoma oil men, which aired on KTUL Tulsa and KWTV Oklahoma City. Harold Stuart, son-in-law of William “Bill” Skelly and former owner of KVOO Television and Radio, set up a series of interviews for Leake and Gregory which included J. Paul Getty. The announcer in this audio presentation, taken from the film, was the interviewer Bob Gregory. It is believed to be Mr. Getty's last interview, which was conducted at his estate in Sutton Place, England, where he died. At that time, Mr. Getty was known as one of the wealthiest men in the world. A Man's Perspective on Business and Life was donated to Voices of Oklahoma by Nancy Leake Sevenoaks and her husband Richard. J. Paul Getty talks about coming to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, moving to Tulsa, and his fondness for William Skelly. Getty credits his father for his business success and shares his experience in the oil business on the oral history website VoicesOfOklahoma.com.

In 2005 I made a video movie called Paul Alien. It's a mockumentary about the now deceased Seattle Billionaire Paul Allen … but my fascination with the richest of the rich goes way back to my childhood. I had a copy of the Guinness Book of World Records and there was a picture of John D. Rockefeller giving away dimes. And even as a five year old I thought: “this motherf*cker is the richest person in the world and all he can give away is dimes?” And then of course I became obsessed with J. Paul Getty. Probably as depraved and evil as Elon Musk but at least Elon Musk is peddling electric cars. Getty's business was oil. And look where that has led us. I hope you tune in to Bad Billionaires.

You were getting burned out working in the medical field and wanted something different. How did you decide upon a “notary business?” You have a quote that I've used often from J. Paul Getty, would you care to share it? “I'd rather have 1% of a hundred people, than 100% of one person.” As you began this business with your wife, were you really only going to focus on notary work or were there already other spin off businesses in mind? You, obviously advocate for multiple streams of income. Can you explain for us some of the benefits of having these multiple streams of income? In your book, you make a point of saying you do not subscribe to the “Law of Attraction,” but firmly believe in the “Law of Sowing and Reaping.” How important has your Faith been in helping you to start your own business? In your book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen,”) you outline a “few basic, baby steps…” Can you share those baby steps with us? What is a “Key Stone Habit” and can you share a couple of examples? Folks, as I started this program, it is so important that you are not 100% dependent on your employer to take care of you. That is called slavery. I urge you to get in touch with Mark Sias today. Drop down into the show notes and reach out to Mark. Ask you questions. Check out his website. But you absolutely need to check out his book, https://amzn.to/3B0uD0S (“A Golden Pen.”) It contains a lot of ideas that can you implement relatively easy and affordably that could, I emphasize, COULD, because it depends on how active you are in promoting your services… they COULD make you financially self-sufficient. Amen!

“We need to manage a 35,000 person meeting in real time where decisions will be made that will end up on the 7:00 PM news,” says Pedro Goes, founder and CEO of InEvent. This software platform provides streamlined features such as video transitions, Q&A, polling, live music and the ability to engage with multiple sites at once to create a more multifaceted, interactive and engaging experience for attendees of remote meetings, events and conferences. It's been used by drawn government organizations, the United Nations, and large private organizations to conduct mass virtual events where they conduct crucial business like brokering deals, launching new products and driving sales. Pedro talks about raising money for the company, which he started from scratch while also receiving backing from the prestigious Y Combinator program. Of course, money, both receiving and making, is just there to deploy your vision. What gets him out of bed in the morning is seeing the myriad ways people are using his InEvent software—like broadcasting from the International Space Station. He's committed to diversity not out of some sense of timely obligation but because he recognizes that everyone brings a different perspective and fills in each others' blindspots. Embracing new ideas and new ways not only produces revenue, but creates new possibilities. Tune in to hear what can be learned from both Elvis and Kanye about committing to your passion and giving it your all. Quotes: “Nobody can take Zoom or Microsoft Teams anymore because it's all the same thing– that black background and someone speaking for 2.5 hours. It's challenging.” (4:50-5:01 | Pedro) “When we started as a company, we wanted to do everything. We were what customers wanted us to be. That's good in the beginning but that's challenging for you to grow. If you're just following what the customer wants and not being a product, just being a service, and every time you launch a new event, everything's built from scratch, anyone can do that.” (11:02-11:25 | Pedro) “That's how you win the market: by mapping the requirements and deploying a product that's out of the box that you can use today, and you're going to be successful with it.” (13:18-13:26 | Pedro) “At a certain point you have to make a decision about what's going to be good for you because there are so many good ideas out there that you can actually commit to.” (14:23-14:31 | Pedro) “America is one of the very few countries where you can actually build a huge business by doing one thing really well. In other countries, it's hard for you to do that because there is no ecosystem. So, if you work too long on one piece, then the other nine pieces for the whole solution are not there. In America, you actually have the opportunity to build one piece really well, because there is an ecosystem that supports you because it's all integrated. So, that's really good.” (14:57-15:26 | Pedro) “Once you are with a company of a 150 people or more, you have to have a process, your power as one single person doesn't scale without processes (26:45-26:58 | Pedro) Connect with Brendan Dell: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendandell/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BrendanDell Instagram: @thebrendandellTikTok: @brendandell39 Buy a copy of Brendan's Book, The 12 Immutable Laws of High-Impact Messaging: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780578210926 Connect with Pedro Goes and InEvent:LinkedIn: Pedro Goeshttps://inevent.com/en/home.php Check out Pedro's recommended reads: How to Be Rich by J.

The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is returning ancient sculptures and other works of art that were illegally exported from Italy, the museum announced. The Getty will return a nearly life-size group of Greek terra-cotta sculptures known as “Orpheus and the Sirens," believed to date from the fourth century B.C., according to the museum. The sculpture group was purchased by J. Paul Getty in 1976 shortly before his death and had been on display for decades. However, the museum now believes they were illegally excavated and taken out of Italy, based on evidence uncovered by the Manhattan district attorney's office, the Getty said in a statement. “It's just extremely rare and there's nothing similar in our collection, or closely similar in any collection,” Getty Museum director Timothy Potts told the Los Angeles Times. “It does leave a hole in our gallery but with this evidence that came forth, there was no question that it needed to be sent back to Italy.” The fragile sculptures will be sent to Rome in September to join collections designated by the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Getty said. The museum also is working with the Ministry of Culture to arrange the return of four other objects at a future date. Those include a “colossal marble head of a divinity" and a stone mold for casting pendants, both from the second century A.D., along with an Etruscan bronze incense burner from the fourth century B.C. and a 19th-century painting by Camillo Miola entitled “Oracle at Delphi," the Getty said.

The following points are a composite summary of those that appeared in the DOW Theory Letters (#708, 881, 982 & 1160). The DOW Theory Letters are edited & compiled by Richard Russell, DOW THEORY LETTERS, Inc. See full address details, etc., for the Dow Theory Letters at the end of this document. 1. SELLS TO THE WORLD The ideal business sells to the world, rather than a single neighborhood or a single city or state. In other words, it has an unlimited global market. 2. INELASTIC DEMAND The ideal business offers a product that has an ‘inelastic demand'. ‘Inelastic' refers to a product that people need or desire — almost regardless of price. 3. UNIQUE PRODUCTS The ideal business produces a difficult (or almost impossible) product for a competitor to copy or reproduce. This means the product is an original (such as a publication) or requires very special know-how, or it produces a product protected by copyright or patent. 4. LOW LABOUR REQUIREMENTS The ideal business has low labor requirements; the fewer people needed, the better. Today's example of this is the much-talked-about ‘virtual corporation'. The virtual corporation may consist of an office with three executives, where all manufacturing and services are farmed out to other companies. 5. LOW OVERHEADS The ideal business has low overhead; it does not need an expensive location, it does not need large amounts of electricity, advertising, legal advice, high-priced employees, big inventory, etc 6. LOW INVESTMENT The ideal business does not require huge cash expenditures or large investments in equipment. In other words, it does not tie up your money in the capital. 7. CASH BILLINGS — C.O.D. The ideal business is a business that has cash billings. In other words, it does not tie up your capital with lengthy or complex credit terms, etc. 8. REGULATION FREE The ideal business is relatively free from all kinds of government and industry regulations and structures. 9. PORTABLE The ideal business is portable or easily moveable. You can put it anywhere you want in the world: Australia, the USA, Great Britain, New Zealand, China, Indonesia, etc. 10. YOU LOVE IT Here's a crucial but often overlooked one; the ideal business keeps you fascinated, you love it, and it requires your full intellectual (and often your emotional) energies. There's nothing like being fascinated with what you're doing. 11. CONTINUING NEED The ideal business sells a product that fits a continuing human (or animal) need. It's not a fad product, it's not a product that people can easily substitute or even do without. 12. FREE TIME Another important one: the ideal business leaves you with free time. In other words, it doesn't require your labor and attention 12, 16, or 18 hours a day. Three (3) additional points might be added to this list as follows: 13. A PROVEN SYSTEM A system with a proven track record on which to structure the building of your business. The system might use tapes, books, and meetings (seminars, away weekends, etc) to assist its associates with building their businesses. 14. TAXATION BENEFITS The expenses of the business can be negatively geared against your primary income when determining your tax each year, provided the relevant Tax Office requirements, etc, are met. 15. TIME LEVERAGING A lot of people each doing a little. J. Paul Getty has been quoted as saying: “I'd rather have 1% of the efforts of 100 men, than 100% of my efforts.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/sue-pats/message

J. Paul Getty's estate exceeded four billion dollars. He was considered the richest man on earth. The Los Angeles Times quoted something Getty wrote: ‘I have never been given to envy, save for the envy I feel toward those people who have the ability to make a marriage work and endure happily. It's an art I have never been able to master. My record: five marriages, five divorces. In short, five failures.' The newspaper article continues: ‘He termed the memories of his relationship with his five sons “painful”. Much of his pain has been passed on with his money. His most treasured offspring, Timothy, a frail child born when Getty was fifty-three, died in 1958 at the age of twelve, of surgical complications after a sickly life, spent mostly separated from his father who was forever away on business. Other members of the Getty family also suffered from tragic circumstances. A grandson, J. Paul Getty III, was kidnapped and held for a ransom of $2.9 million. When Getty refused to pay, they held the boy for five months and eventually cut off his right ear. Getty's oldest son apparently committed suicide amid strange circumstances. Another son, Gordon Paul Getty, has been described as living a tortured existence. He was ridiculed in correspondence by his father and was the least favoured son. Similar sorrow has followed other members of this unfortunate family.' Putting money first and family second make you nothing more than a wealthy failure. So if you have been sacrificing your family for your career, start making changes! Don't look back, rich but regretting, having lived for the wrong things.

Have you ever worked for a horrible boss? Or worse, could you be one? The late J. Paul Getty said that “The employer generally gets the employee he deserves.” As we are witnessing a phenomenon the media has coined “The Great Resignation” this assertion packs an emotive gut punch. It's not so much that people leave companies. Especially when the core values and mission of the company resonate with their people. People are even less likely to leave when on they're seen, valued, and challenged to use their strengths in ways that add meaningful value to the customer. More likely, people leave people. Particularly a certain type of person, a bad boss. If you've ever worked for a bad boss, you know firsthand the emotional toll it can take on you and those you work with. Being a bad boss is not only hurtful to the individuals on your team, but it can also be catastrophic to your organization's performance long-term. It can be a massive drain not only on the company's people, but productivity as well. What's worse, because bad bosses typically do not create an environment that fosters honest feedback, nor are they likely to be the most self-aware of individuals, when their behavior is damaging to the company, they're often the last to know. Often blaming their team, competitors, the market, et cetera, they fail to realize that they were the main symptom of a cultural disease that killed their department, division and sometimes the company itself. On the other hand, great leadership fosters engagement, collaborative innovation and supports high performance. Great leaders have compelling visions, are effective strategists, with the ability to communicate in a way that energizes and galvanizes the team. They attract good people. The relish in the development of their people, creating an environment that champions their people, the mission and performance. My guest for this episode asserts that the type of boss you are, largely depends on the energetic impact you have on your people. Marcel Daane is the author of the book “Five Energies of Horrible Bosses: and how not to Become One.”No matter what role you play in your organization, this episode is a must listen. Leadership is not about a title, it's about the impact you have on those around you. We all impact people around us, whether by design or default. That means that we are all in effect leaders. Our ability to perform well as a leader is for the vast majority of us, the key to or the lock on our own potential. Recipient of the 2012 Global HR Excellence Award in Leadership as well as the 2016 Global Coaching Leadership Award, Marcel Daane is a thought leader who believes we need to constantly challenge the paradigm of normal business practice by daring to explore the unknown without the loss of enthusiasm.A Pioneer and Practitioner of Executive Coaching in Singapore, Marcel is considered one of the world's authorities in mind-body leadership, a combination of mindfulness and body-awareness to inspire authenticity, openness, and trust in leadership, strategy, teamwork, change management, and communication.He is the author of his critically acclaimed leadership book and App called: “Headstrong Performance” and is a renowned neuroscience and leadership researcher exploring the link between physical and mental wellness and their impact on leadership and performance capacity in individuals, teams, and organizations.Marcel is a life-long practitioner of Martial Arts and is the son of a celebrated Political Activist who taught him early on that life has greater meaning when we are of service to others rather than merely to ourselves.
J. Paul Getty was the wealthiest person in the world for 3 decades from the 1950's to the 1970's! His list of accomplishments are mind-blowing. At the end of his life, it's estimated that his net worth would be worth $27 billion is today's dollars. He was very wealthy. I heard this quote when I was a new business owner in the Amway business in 2002 and it has stuck with me for 20 years. “I'd rather have 1% of the effort of 100 men than 100% of my own effort.” - J. Paul Getty At the time I heard this, I was an engineer working full time and earning $50,000 per year off 100% of my own effort. I saw Amway business owners with teams of 100+ people earned 1-4% off the production of each team member and earning $500,000 per year. This quote hit me right between the eyes. However, I went another route as a solo cleaning specialist after my days as an engineer and multi-level marketer. I decided it was best for me to optimize what I could produce. In other words, how much could I make in how little time could I produce off 100% of my own effort? In my first solo cleaning business, the results were strong. I earned $55,000 and $70,000 per year profit off 2 days cleaning per week in each business respectively. Both provided a decent engineer level lifestyle so I could enjoy time with my family. However, it would never create freedom and lifestyle money. It would never create time, money, and location freedom. This is what I desired. I'm in a different position now where I am growing a cleaning business and I'm learning a lot about myself. This is an episode for the solo cleaner who is thinking about scaling and has fear or would never scale and has arrogance about it like I used to. Let's break down some numbers. The average cleaning technician can create $50,000 of annual revenue for a cleaning company. If you're a solo, that's $50,000 for you. Applying J. Paul Getty's advice, the numbers are totally different. A cleaning team of 100 people would produce $5M in revenue. If you only earned the 1% that Getty quoted, you'd earn $50,000 per year without having to clean. But the reality is much better. A $5M company ought to pay out 15% to the owner. This is $750,000 per year income for the owner and they don't have to clean. Let's play a game of Would You Rather.Would you rather work solo and optimize your business on 100% of your effort working 2-3 days per week for $75,000 per year income? Or would you rather build a company and team to $5 million revenue, lead, and earn $750,000 per year income working on your business to lead your team? In the first example, you have no pressure of employees. You do all the work and have a simple life. You just better make sure to stay healthy, travel for short stints of a few days at a time, and budget really, really good. In the second example, you build a massive company, earn more than you can imagine, and live a life of total freedom. They each have their pros and cons. This episode isn't looking to persuade you, rather get you thinking. Read the rest of this article at the Smart Cleaning School website

NOTE: This episode was originally published as a VLOG It's interesting to see the world through another person's eye's such as through a book, or art. J. Paul Getty's "How to Be Rich: His Formulas" provides an amazing look at what it means to be rich. I love the title "How to 'Be' Rich" and not how to get rich or how to make money or something like that. After all, they say to not wait to "achieve" something to "be" something. Put another way, don't wait to have a million dollars to be rich. And if you can start to "be" something (happy, rich, creative, successful, etc...), the the beingness will attract the things that person would have. - this is getting esoteric though. The fact is, Getty does an amazing job of giving you a couple hundred pages of his thoughts, experiences, beliefs, approaches to life, and more to let you experience what it means (from Getty's perspective) to "be rich." Very powerful. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/strategic-possibilities/support

EDUCAÇÃO FINANCEIRA POR 39,90 AO MÊS - CONHEÇA A FINCLASS: http://bit.ly/spotSocios_Finclass . Quando perguntaram ao bilionário americano e magnata do setor petrolífero J. Paul Getty sobre qual sua fórmula pessoal para ficar rico, ele respondeu: “acorde cedo, trabalhe duro e encontre petróleo”. Como aqui no Brasil, um país pouco livre, mesmo que você encontre petróleo no seu quintal o mesmo pertencerá a união, e também pensando na revolução que está acontecendo nos negócios graças a tecnologia, resolvemos atualizar essa fórmula para algo mais próximo de nossa realidade: “acorde cedo (ou tarde), trabalhe duro e crie um negócio online”. Para te ajudar nessa tarefa de desbravar um mundo novo e se juntar às milhares, talvez milhões, de pessoas que estão usando a internet e as redes sociais para criar negócios com custo baixo, grande poder de escala e margens altas, falaremos desse assunto no 1º episódio do podcast mais aguardado de todos dos tempos: o podcast “Os sócios”.

Andrew Getty spent 15 years making a horror movie, and it ended up killing him. Grandson of oil tycoon, J. Paul Getty, and cousin of John Paul Getty III, who was famously kidnapped and tortured as a 16-year-old boy in 1973, Andrew Getty became haunted by night terrors that were so vivid and horrifying that he decided the only way he could get rid of them was to channel all of his fear into a self-financed horror movie. Beginning in 2002, he spent the next 15 years, and 6 million dollars, meticulously executing his traumatic vision. Ultimately, he would succumb to obsession and tragically die while locked away in his Hollywood mansion editing the film. This is the story of Andrew Getty's descent into obsession, and the bizarre but mezmerizing movie that he made in the process that has gone largely unnoticed by the public. 01001001 01110011 00100000 01100001 01101110 01111001 01100010 01101111 01100100 01111001 00100000 01101111 01110101 01110100 00100000 01110100 01101000 01100101 01110010 01100101 00111111 Learn more about your ad choices.

J. Paul Getty's timeless wisdom.
El 10 de julio de 1973 secuestraron en Roma a Paul Getty III, el nieto del hombre más rico y tacaño del mundo en aquel momento, Jean Paul Getty. Los secuestradores pidieron 17 millones de dólares al abuelo, y el abuelo respondió: “No pagaré un solo centavo, dijo. Tengo otros 14 nietos; si pago, tarde o temprano secuestrarán a todos”.Dos millones doscientos mil dólares, fue lo que terminó pagando y lo recuperó con un interés del cuatro por ciento a su hijo. Cinco meses después liberaron al nieto y los secuestradores acabaron detenidos.

October saw the Breakfast Club produce an Encore Sunday event and you can enjoy western heritage music performances from that night, a story about the history of chili cook-offs and a tribute to that great western star and good ham an' egger, the legendary Leo Carrillo. Last month, in part 1 of our conversation with outgoing club members Fletch and Nancy Murray, we learned about J. Paul Getty, "life repair", Oklahoma and more. This month, in part 2, we learn about the Murray's camping adventures, their wedding adventure, their grown children, their ongoing filmmaking ambitions and much more. As always, Lily drops by to preview all the events upcoming at the Democracy of Ham an' Eggs for the rest of 2018. The proceedings are brought to you by that miracle drug in a mug - coffee! So, pour yourself a cup of Joe, hit "play", sit back, relax and enjoy!
Join your friend in podcasting, Phil Leirness, and his intrepid announcer, Marc Hershon, on another time-travel adventure through the 93 year history of the one and only Democracy of Ham an' Eggs.

We hear about the Hollywoodland development, the Trousdale Estates, the Pacific Crest Trail and the history of Silverlake bohemia. We are treated to a breathtaking musical performance by Lily Holleman on the banks of the Mississippi Delta. We learn about J. Paul Getty, Scientology's "Life Repair", and Nancy and Fletch Murray's love of each other, of Oklahoma, and love for the Breakfast Club. All that, plus special appearances by good Ham an' Eggers Erynn Petrulis, Joe Selph, Robert Nichols, Richard Gilson and club President Lily Holleman, who fills us in on all that is upcoming at the Shrine of Friendship in October.

FX splashed out on some expensive talent to tell the story of the infamously cheap J. Paul Getty's negotiations for the return of his kidnapped hippie grandson -- whom he and many others thought had engineered the situation to get himself some spending money. The network's really put itself on the map with prestige-crime series in the last couple of years, but when the action moves to 1970s Rome, does it have itself another water-cooler show? Toby Ball and I plan to keep watching, but even if we weren't having fun, Donald Sutherland is having the time of his life gnawing the scenery, and it's nice to see Brendan Fraser again. It's also nice to see The Lost Tapes again; I liked the show when it debuted on Smithsonian Channel a couple years back, and its refreshingly stripped-down take on big cases and turning points -- no whorey talking-heads or goofy re-enactments, just contemporaneous footage and reports -- is perfect for a case like the Patty Hearst kidnapping. By not taking a position on how involved Hearst really was in ongoing events, The Lost Tapes made us question our own received wisdom on the case, and what "brainwashing" is really supposed to mean, anyway. And yes, I have a grand unifying theory about DB Cooper, because it's a day ending in Y -- and an all-new The Blotter Presents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Aquest matí buidem les butxaques del que va ser un dels homes més rics del món. El primer americà en tenir una fortuna superior als mil milions de dòlars, que va ser anomenat per la revista Fortune als anys 60 com l'americà viu més ric i que a l'any 96 va quedar clasificat el 67 entre la gent més rica de la història. Parlem del patriarca d'una de les famílies més riques d'Amèrica, que entre els seus membres inclou actors, compositors de música, productors de cinema i molts empresaris. Tots milionaris, això sí. Un home que ha inspirat llibres i pel•lícules, un magnat del petroli que va ser un tipus fred, insensible, mal pare, mal marit. Un home del que deien “té artèries d'acer per les quals corren rius de petroli, però que té les butxaques com a caixes fortes”. Desplomem un garrepa amb majúscules per a qui l'avarícia va tenir conseqüències terribles: John Paul Getty.
Hey, hey, what's going on, everyone? This is Steve Larsen, and you're listening to another episode of Secret MLM Hacks Radio. Here's the real mystery. How do real MLMers like us who didn't cheat and only bug family members and friends, who want to grow a profitable home business, how do we recruit A players into our downlines and create extra incomes yet still have plenty of time for the rest of our lives? That's the blaring question, and this podcast will give you the answer. My name is Steve Larsen, and welcome to Secret MLM Hacks Radio. Hey, guys, this is a bit of a different episode. What I did is I went out and I found a guy who is a honestly spectacular individual. He is rare, meaning, he's gone out and he has made seven figures in traditional business, and then he made another seven figures inside of MLM. What's kind of cool is he's going to go through and teach. I asked him to come on this podcast and teach some of the strategies that he's been using. Does that make sense? So he's going to go through and he's going to show, number one, some of the strategies that he's been using inside of MLM to grow a downline that honestly it's run like an actual business. He doesn't recruit people personally anymore. All he does is teach his other people how to do that. Does that make sense? He has embraced this idea of duplication. He's embraced this idea of recruiting people the right way without ... Let's say you are talking to family members and friends. How do you do it in a respectful way? So he's going to go through some of those things with you as well as one of the most powerful recruiting strategies I've ever heard. So anyway, kind of sit back. Relax a little bit with this. It is a little bit of a longer episode, but I think this interview is going to be powerful, and I think it'll be ... This is technically the first interview of this podcast, and I plan to do a whole bunch more. I have in my other show, but, anyway, this'll be a good one, and excited for him. His name is Jon Penkert, and he has actually pulled in through his downline over half a billion in revenue, and he's done this kind of stuff several times. He knows what he's talking about. So anyways, very, very honored to have him on the show, and let's dive right in. We have a very unique opportunity to hear from honestly one of the most brilliant people I've ever met. I actually only met him probably only a month or two ago, but right off the bat I could tell something was different. I have on the call with me Mr. Jon Penkert, who alone inside of the MLM industry, he's one of the top income earners. He's one of those rare guys that has done both seven figures in regular business but also seven figures in the network marketing business. One of the things he's taught me is that most people only recruit two and a half, one, two to three people into their MLM business ever, and to say that he's done, which is true, over 500 million in his own downline is absolutely amazing. So anyway, I'm excited to have Mr. Jon Penkert here with me. How are you doing, man? Hey. Good morning, Steven. Thanks for having me on the call. It's a privilege to be speaking with you. I'm really excited that you're here. This is a very unique take. Most of the time when you hear the word "MLM," I'm sure you were the exact same, you kind of tend to run the other way. Most people do, anyway, and I know that you've have figured out, though, the way that this whole thing works. But before we jump into that, I actually wanted to ask, how did you get into MLM? I was an entrepreneur out of college and moved to Southern California. I wanted to take advantage of the business opportunities there and leverage my skills and my degree. When I arrived, in California, it's kind of the mecca for network marketing. I never really heard of MLM, and so a friend of mine invited me to a meeting, and I was very skeptical. It just seemed too good to be true. Sure. I couldn't believe all the money they were making, and so I was like, "Man, I got to check this out. And it's funny. You say that people run from MLM. What happened is I started getting involved in network marketing, and then people started running from me. Exactly. So I learned very quickly that this MLM business, it's rife with problems, and you end up losing a lot of your friends in the beginning because you don't understand what's required to be successful. You don't understand the key ingredients to network marketing that make successful champions are no different than any other facet of life, whether it's business or music or sports. There's a formula to success, and once you figure that out and you embrace the formula, then guess what? You begin to have the success that you long for. Did you know what that formula was when you first started? No. As a matter of fact, I have about 10 years of pain, which means failure. I learned that success is built on the back of failure, and I certainly, I used to tell people, "I'm the biggest loser in network marketing because I tried everything and did it wrong." So I got about 10 years of pain before I figured out, you know what, there's got to be a smarter way to do this. That's amazing. So when you first joined, though, I guess, what happened? Where was all that kind of failure? Most people don't talk about the failure parts, but I think we can all relate to it. Well, I don't fail small; I fail big. I joined a company. Back in the '80s people in California were making $30,000 a month in network marketing, and there was a company called Fund America. You can research it. It actually is the case ... all the case law studies. It changed the industry because back then, you paid a lot of money for your membership fees. It was high membership fee to get involved in these clubs, these MLM clubs. And the federal government shut them down for illegal Ponzi scheme, and so the big boys like Herbal Life and Amway, they all went to school on that, and they changed how they come to a market. So all the case law for network marketing was really centered around that Fund America. You can do the research on the lawsuit. It turned out they came out on the other side nine months later innocent and not being convicted of a Ponzi scheme because it wasn't, but it ruined the business opportunity, and all the downline had dissipated. So all of us had got involved and began to build saw the rug literally pulled out from under us and what we thought was the biggest opportunity of our life, and we're all going to become millionaires, and the truth is you realize, you know what, if you don't have experienced leaders that have set a foundation to do it right, you're going to get taken out, and there's a lot of examples of that today, but the case law began with that Fund America opportunity that I was knee-deep in and got the rug pulled out from under me. So you came in while that was all going on, then? Yeah. Actually I had the misfortune of coming in at the end. I got all my guys in, and we started running right as they closed the doors. Oh, man. Oh my gosh. So did you pick up and go obviously to somewhere else, then, I'm sure? Yeah. Then I got into a couple other companies. I tried to travel industry is big in network marketing, and I tried supplements. That's also big in network marketing. The number one product in network marketing is weight loss. We live in a culture that suffers from obesity. And everybody wants the quick fix. So there's a formula to losing weight, but everybody wants to take a pill, often times in network marketing companies begin with weight loss. It's very common. The problem with weight loss, for those of you who are in weight loss know that 90 to 120 days into the journey, people do one of two things: They lose the weight and get off your product, or they don't lose the weight, and they blame your product. And you lose your residual income oftentimes in weight loss because people don't stay loyal to the product. So weight loss is a tough way to create residual income. Interesting. I mean, so that is fascinating, then. So did you deliberately steer away from that? I mean, obviously you're asking questions that most people who are brand new in MLM like never ask. Those are an awareness of the economy, and the market, and what's selling and what isn't. It's through the roof. It probably wasn't like that at the beginning, though, I'm sure, was it? Well, it's not. I mean, when you look at an opportunity, most people get involved in an opportunity because it's based on hype, right? "My really good friend found the product they love, and now I love it, and we're going to get rich together, and we're going to do network marketing." Those are not good reasons to join a network marketing company. Unfortunately, that's how most people get involved in network marketing, and then when they don't make the money, then they're like, "Oh, what happen?" So there's like five pillars of things that are important in network marketing. For those of your listeners that want to do the ... I was like, "Where do I find out about how to be successful?" Harvard Business Review actually has a study on MLMs and what it takes to be successful. Go read it. Google it and find out here's the key ingredients that you need to be successful in network marketing. It's out there. It's not a secret. That's fascinating. That's fascinating. So you go into was it Fund America? And they go, and they kind of go under and go through all that big stuff. Then you transfer to another MLM. Were you successful, you'd say, in that one, or were you kind of still learning what it took to be successful with it? Yeah. Well, I mean, I had I'm a Type A driver, and I'm very successful-oriented, so I'm a guy that I'm going to just try to make it work. And so I've done a lot of network marketing opportunities, but where I had the light bulb moment, the aha moment was when one of my friends, I said, "Hey, get involved in this one. We're making a lot of money, and we're driving the new cars, and we're doing all this stuff." He looked and me and he said, "Jon, you always get the car, but none of the rest of us do," and that was where I went, "Wait a minute." Powerful. "It's not about how much money I can make or what I can do. I want to find an opportunity where I can mentor people and help them drive the new car." So that was a paradigm shift in my thought process. I said, "You know what? I have to look for something. There's a word that is abused in network marketing. It's called 'duplicated.' I got news for you guys: Everything duplicates. Success duplicates and so does failure. So if you're using your influence to build your network marketing business, it's not duplicatable and ultimately will fail because your people don't have your influence." But if you have a system that people can follow to make money, the system will duplicate, and then you have an opportunity in network marketing to create a sustainable residual income. So the system has to duplicate. You can't just use you influence. And that's when the light bulb went off for me. I said, "You know what? It's not good enough for me to be able to do it. I have to enroll people on the journey and will help them actually accomplish their goals." That's huge. So from that point on, you went for it and just noticed it. I mean, it's got to be a system that's duplicatable rather than you being duplicatable. System-wise what did you go create? What was it that you knew you had to go do? Well, the first thing that I do when I look at a network marketing company is I say, "Look, I need 90 days to see if the system duplicates," because once you begin ... Most people make the mistake of measuring their success on their sign-up bonuses: "I went out and got a few people to sign up, and they got some people to sign up, and in the first 30 days, I made $3,000." That's not a duplicatable system; that's a sales job. And so the money you make on the front end isn't as important as if I sign you up, Steven. How much money do I make on you four months from now when you're on autoship? That's the key because if I want to residual income, it's not your sign-up bonuses, but it's your monthly autoship that creates an income for me. Now, if I have a product that doesn't have a monthly autoship component, you can't create residual income. So it's got to be something that you need or want every month. Most people will buy something for a couple of months. But is it sustainable? What does that mean? Is it something that as a consumer six months from now you're still going to buy, because if you're not going to buy it, then I don't have a residual income stream. So I always measure the opportunity not how much money do I make up front, but what kind of residual incomes am I making on an autoship function three, four, five months out? And then I look at the percentages of growth. If my growth percentage is there, then I've got something, not the paycheck. If you look at your paycheck in the first two or three months of any opportunity and measure the long-term viability, you're making a mistake. Fascinating. So 90 days to prove the system. Got to have the monthly autoship as a component, so the MLM let me choose. What other components should people look for when they are choosing one? So there's a saying in business. Remember, I'm a ... One of the things that made me successful in network marketing is realizing that my entrepreneurship business skills in traditional business, they don't translate will to network marketing, and so when you try to bring you skill set from a traditional business model into network marketing, it doesn't work. It doesn't translate- Like what? What do you mean? ... until you h- ... Well, entrepreneurship requires a skill set where you have an ability to take risks, and make very quick decisions, and cut your losers fast, and leverage a skill set more than a system. And so you try to bring your skills into network marketing, it doesn't work because why? You're managing a volunteer army. Nobody works for you. It's like a sports team. Everyone's part of the team, and we want to win together, but since no one works for me, I can't hold them accountable. I have to motivate them, which is why network marketing oftentimes leverages self-help, right? Become a better version of yourself. Work on yourself because the stronger self you have, the more people you're going to lead. Fascinating. So it's all about the motivation, then, for that. I didn't realize ... I mean, I knew that, I mean, MLM is kind of like biz op wrapped around ... with the personal development wrapped around it. But that's a fascinating way to describe that though. I've never thought of it that way. So, let's look you said, "What's important? What do I look for?" Sports parallels business that parallels network marketing. What am I talking about? Leadership is the number one thing that has the biggest impact on your success. Why is that? Because the rate of the pack is determined by the speed of the leaders, and it doesn't matter if you look at successful sports teams or business or network marketing, you got to have good leadership. So that's one of the things that I leverage going into an opportunity is are the leaders experienced? Are they just a bunch of guys that found a product that have never run a marketing company? Or are their leaders proficient at the global business model? Because, listen, you guys, today network marketing is the business model of the 21st century. There is no greater. And what you are going to get paid to do is monetize networks that you build globally, not networks locally in a local market, but your ability to sell products and services globally in a global marketplace, which means what? Language conversion, currency conversion, you monetize global networks, you want to be with a leader who's done that before, somebody who's opened up other countries, someone who understands logistically how to deliver products into those countries because you can have the greatest product in the world, but if you don't have a leadership team that can deliver, you're going to end up with a lot of unhappy customers. So what are you doing to train people below you to become leaders? Because that, like you said, really does seem where all that duplication is even possible. Leadership, I have my own philosophy on leadership, and in the leadership circles, I've studied leadership, and there's a great argument in leadership, and it's are leaders created or are they born? They go back and forth on that question, and the truth is it's neither. Leaders aren't born. You're not a born leader, and you can't just choose someone and create a leader. I like to look at leadership one of two ways: You're either a cheerleader, which sits at the back of the room and encourages everybody to be the best they can be, and go out there and charge, and go do it; and then there's the servant leader that says, "You know what? I'm going first. I'm going to go, and go across the river, and swim across, and make sure it's not dangerous, and make sure it's attainable. Then I'm going to encourage my people to follow me." So leaders are neither born nor created; leaders are chosen. And the masses will chose to follow you if you're cutting the path, and doing the right things, and having the success. Success attracts success. So as a leader moves forward quickly, there creates a vacuum that people will follow. So my definition of a leader first and foremost is the visionary who's following the path and setting the right example. And the people will follow. That is definitely the best definition of leadership I've ever heard, okay, a cheerleader or a servant leader, and you're chosen by others based on you cutting the path and being an example. Wow, that's amazing. So you go out, and you're teaching others to do that obviously, and that's, you know, because you've chosen an MLM with the monthly autoship and you have to develop new skills, you now have the potential for actual residual income. What are you doing to actually find people? It was fascinating, you told me when I first met you, man, what did you say, the average person recruits only like 2.3 people in their life ever? Is that what the stat was? Yeah. Well, the industry standard, and, look, these are standards. Jim Rohn is a great leader and champion of network marketing, and you can't beat the system, and the system says the average person is going to recruit 2.5 people in their career. So what network marketing companies try to do is they try to attract the superstars recruiters that are going to recruit 200 people, but just do the math. Eventually if you have a system that requires the average person to recruit more than 2.5 people, for instance, well, you're going to set them up to fail because you can't beat basically the laws in network marketing. Interesting. So one of the other pieces you taught me just floored me. I mean, I just was blown away by the strategy. Do you mind jumping into it? Now, I actually before was, before I did any marketing, I actually was going into CIT. I was going to be a programmer, and I was learning about these things called binaries, but you dropped that word, and it meant something totally different for the MLM world. Do you mind describing what it is that you were sharing with me? Well, let's take a step back. The one thing that's consistent in life is change. Change is always going to happen. If you would've come to me 10 years ago and said, "Jon, I got an MLM, and it's a binary. Will you join?" I don't want to join that because an old-school definition of a binary, the way they set them up really hurt people, and so the fairest comp plan was the uni-level. There's matrix, and there's different comp plan styles, and different hybrids, but all of the legacy companies ran a uni-level platform. But the truth is in a uni-level, you got to bring your 20 friends into a room, get them signed up, push them out, and say, "Go get your own 20 friends." That's how I make residual income, but you got to go to work and get a job. That really catered to the type A drivers who could recruit, but it doesn't help the average person. Why? Because the average person is only going to bring in a couple of people, and now you need a front line of 20. So it begins to unravel. Now, I say that; I made a lot of money in uni-levels, but today the hybrid binaries serve the masses the very best. Why do I say that? Because if you have a system where the average person is going to get 2.5 people recruited, and you have a three-legged system, four-legged system, five-legged system to be successful, you're setting yourself up to fail, but if you have a binary system, which is a two-legged system and you're building a team, and 100% of the people, as the recruiter, that you bring in either go into your left team or your right team, that means each person benefits from not only your ability to recruit, but I've set them up to succeed because their 2.5 people does what? It qualifies them, one left, one right, and now they have a least a half a person overflow into their downline. So now every person is adding to the success of the system, and the system supports the 2.5 people they're going to get, if that makes sense. I know sometimes when you talk about numbers, people get a little foggy, but that's the reason the binaries today are the best leverage point to create residual income. So, for example, and just so everyone understands on who's listening as well, my first month of MLM was a classic example of ultimate failure. I did a great job of recruiting people. I literally went down Main Street and I recruited 13 people in that first month, but I spread them so wide. They were out all over the place, and you're saying that's not what I should do, right? Yeah. Let's look at it: I like analogies in life, and if you take a very large room and you have all of these light bulbs that are lighting the room, the light source defuses the light, and it lights the room. But that's not maximizing the energy. Laser beams maximize the energy, so if you took all the light and you focused it into a small beam, you could cut steal with it. So when I'm running a team as a leader, I want to maximize their efficiency, so I don't want them focused on 10 legs on their front line. I want them to run this business with maximum leverage. So a two-legged systems does what? It focuses their time and energy in basically two streams. So you're not diffusing your energy; you're focusing your energy, and your teams can run faster. So you're saying, just in case people don't understand also the lingo or jargon, you said only two-legged, meaning I'm only going to put two people directly below me, right, and then try and do that for the people below them also, right? Yeah. In a binary system, I sign you up, Steven, and you go get two people, one left, one right. They get two people, one left, one right. Now when you get the third person in the business, it has to go under Team A or Team B. So now what's happened is those people that have joined you in the business opportunity, they take advantage of their upline, your ability to recruit to help them build their residual income. That's powerful. That's what J. Paul Getty said when he said, "Look, I'd rather have 1% of 100 people's energy than 100% of my own." Right. I want to join a team of leaders that are recruiting because I'm going to bring my two people, and my people are going to bring their two people. But then you've got the overflow, you have an opportunity now to gain the advantage of your upline's recruiting ability, if that makes sense. Yeah, it really does, actually. That's fascinating. When you were saying that all binaries are not created equally as well, I guess compared to what you just said right there, could you show what a bad binary would look like? Well, I hesitate to step into that because there's a lot of people that make extraordinary incomes in uni-levels and extraordinary incomes at what I would consider a bad binary. There's good binaries and there's, let's say, better binaries, right? Sure. So I look for best in class, and there's a series of things that are qualifiers that will tell me, is this a good deal, or isn't it? You know, honestly, I'm going to step aside for a second, you guys. Look, you don't do this business by yourself, and part of when I lead people, I tell them, "Look, you're a sum total of the five people that most influence you. Who are the five people that surround you?" My life is no different. I've got very good leaders around me that I consult with, and so when we look at a comp plan, I don't look at it by myself? I get my business partners to pick it apart as well because I'll only see certain deficiencies, but I've got guys that they break it down, and they go, "Look, here's why it'll succeed, and here's why it won't." So I don't just rely on my own ability to analyze. I've got strong partners around me, and each of you should do that. Who are your upline, your upline's leadership, and the downline, the people that you're attracting into your business? You have to surround yourself with strong people, and that's a business acumen issue that's not just MLM; it's good business. Now, you've completely opened my eyes to more of these; the way you run the business, it's fascinating. Even the fact that you said, "I have a business card. Why don't you have your own business card to hand out to everyone?" You run it really cool, man. It's like so awesome. I don't have a business card because I want my people to trust me. As a leader, if you lose trust, you lose everything. And so when I go into and speak, I'll speak in front of rooms of 20 people and 2,000 people, but what happens is people come up to me and they say, "Hey, John, I want to join your team. I want to be part of your deal," or, "Do you have a business card so I can contact you?" I'm not there to recruit my people's people. The only way you get ahold of me is really through one of my leaders. So I don't have a business card because I'm not looking to recruit anybody. The other thing is what I've learned in the business as well is even if I come across a cold prospect on an airplane, if I give them my business card, I have a 100% chance of them never calling me. They just don't follow up. But if I say, "You know what? I don't have a card, but let me get your number, and I'll follow up with you," now I've taken control of the relationship. It's amazing how I always have a chance to follow up with them if I don't give them a business card. So it's part of a business practice, but it's also a part of my leadership where I don't want people thinking I'm going to cross-recruit their people. I work for them, and when I'm in one of their business meetings, then you can always contact me through them. If they want to give out my phone number, they can, but I really ... That brings up kind of another subject that you ... I'm going to keep rambling here because- No. I love it. Keep going. ... what happens is as you build these teams, I've only recruited best effort between 30 and 40 people in any network marketing company I've ever been in because once you start building a team, I start working from my downline, so when I go into your home, I meet your 20 people. Guess what? There's two or three of them that want me to help them build their business, and I meet their 20 people. So the masses that I've created, I've done one person at a time, partnering with them and building their business. So I don't have to recruit a lot of people personally. All I have to do is be a leader and work with my downline. And the masses will come if you do that. Yeah, it's great. It's absolutely great, and so if you go out and you have that servant leader attitude obviously that we've been talking about, and ... Anyway, I'm taking huge notes right now, just so you know, and I'm drawing circles around all of the key pieces and putting it together because this is really awesome. I hope all you guys listening are doing that to. I do that for everyone of the people I interview, but this is really, really interesting. So if I'm brand new in MLM, brand-spanking new, or, say, I just joined a new one, or whatever, what would you think, what are the first key pieces you'd have me do as a new person into an MLM? Let's say it's in the chosen one you like where there's a binary with it, there's autoship. All the pieces are in play. What would my roles be? I would seek as fast as I can all of who's in my upline and who the leaders are, because the upline leaders are waiting for their phone to ring with their downline because they want to work with them and they want to help build the business. You might as well leverage their experience because I guarantee your two friends that you bring in, they don't know anything more about the company than you do. So the closer you can get to your upline leadership, the better that it is. I'll tell you what I wish. Here's what I wish I would've done, and for all you guys that are new to the business, I wish when I was out of college I would've gone and looked in ... The DSA today, there's about 20 to 22 legacy companies do over $1 billion. We're in an industry that does $130 billion globally. There's about 20 companies that actually do over $1 billion, but I wish that I would've found a product that I really liked and believed in and then joined the legacy company, for a couple reasons: because then I would've learned the successful tactics and strategies of a network marketing company, and I would've got connected to leaders in the industry because if you think that five years from now somebody's not going to come up with the latest and greatest something and turn it into a network marketing company, you're wrong. The relationships that you build will sustain you throughout your career. So I wish I would've just gotten involved in really good companies, and learned sound principles, and met amazing leaders because that's what network marketing is about; it's about connecting great leaders. So any of your listeners, go find a good company and get involved with them, not because you ... I hope that you spend the next 20 years with them, but you probably won't because the truth is when you're looking for a good network marketing opportunity, the one thing that I cannot teach or coach you is something called timing. The timing it in those companies honestly was 20 years ago when they started, right? Now you're not going to create ... It would be a rare person, you know, somebody probably will prove me wrong, but the average person isn't probably going to get in there and create an extraordinary six-figure income become they've had their run. So I want to look for a company that's been around for a couple of years. They've got their groundwork underneath them. They're doing $40 to $50 million a year, and they haven't hit momentum. The key is pre-momentum, and you'll get that in the Harvard Business Study Review when you read it. You want a company pre-momentum so that you're the one that is building the legacy income. When they do $1 billion, you help them grow from $50 million to $1 billion. So that's what you look for is timing. That's the one thing that you can't teach or coach is to be at the right place at the right time. That's interesting. Do you have any tips for on how you find a company that's pre-momentum? Very difficult it's you got to keep your ears open and be connected to a lot of people, which is why I said, you know, if I was ... A great opportunity for even college kids, I think every college kid, the skills that you learn in network marketing will carry you through the rest of your life, and so go out and find a good company that you believe in the product, and get involved, and learn how to create these residual incomes because it's those people that you meet that are going to introduce you to the next big run. Yeah, and I appreciate it. That's the advice you said if I was brand new. First know the leaders. Know your upline. I never took time to do that my first round at it. Then I joined one seriously just because my buddy was in it. It's the exact opposite of what you just said I should do. Went into that four years ago. Pretty much every entrepreneur I know is out there, whether or not they'll admit it, has been part of an MLM. And it's such an awesome career. It's a great place to go to, but the problem why, the reason obviously why a lot of people have bad taste in their mouth is because some over-eager upline person turned around and badgered their family, and badgered the friends, and honestly hurt some relationships. So how do you actually recruit, how do you get to getting leads in this industry without actually hurting those relationships. You know what I'm trying to ask? That was poorly worded, but ... So what happens, oftentimes people get in these network marketing opportunities, they look at it as a get-rich-quick scheme, right, like, "How can I make money off of you and your friends?" Then they get disappointed because that mindset fails them. It's really not the servant leader model. So when I talk to people who have been hurt by network marketing, and we've all been in a marketing company, it didn't work out for lots of reasons. But I always tell them, Zig Ziglar I think said it best. He said, "Give enough people, or create enough people, or create enough opportunity for people and give them what they want, you'll end up getting what you want." So what I've learned in network marketing, especially if I've dealt with someone with experience, I'll say, "What are the things that your upline didn't do for you?" I teach them to be the upline that they wish they had, and so people resonate with that. They realize, "You know what? If I do the things for my downline that I wish my upline had done for me, I'll create extraordinary success." Again, that's that leadership model of leading by example and not being a cheerleader. I'm going to get in there and do the hard work with them because together we can do great things, so that's really what I try to get people to focus on when they have bad experiences in network marketing is, "Hey, lets you and I be the leadership team for your downline that you wish you had." So be the upline that you wish you had is my best practice. I appreciate that answer. I actually very strongly do believe in an element of business karma, and if you go around, and you start trying to help people, and you put out legitimate value out there, it may not happen all at once. There's got to be this mentality of dropping your anchor and not moving forward for awhile. It's not a get-rich-quick thing. But eventually you do get what you'd like, and it'll come and almost be surprising overnight, just kind of show up. That's great. What people don't realize, that you attract what you put out there, so if you don't like what you're getting, take a step back and look at what you're putting out. I guess, do you have any last pieces of advice for someone who, let's say they are in one. They like the product. There's not really a whole lot moving along. What should someone be involved in daily, those tasks, those rituals that keep them engaged in the process? The biggest thing that I can do for each one of your listeners is, you guys, take a deep breath and look in the mirror because the number one quality that drives my business overall is a belief in yourself. You have to believe in yourself. So find a company with integrity, with a great product and a good comp plan, but then look in the mirror and go, "You know what? You are at the right place at the right time. You were chosen for this opportunity," and go get it because I can't stop a person that 100% rock solid belief. They will go out and break every barrier out there if they just believe. As a leader, most often all I do is get people to see that they have everything that they need to succeed. They just have to believe and go do it. Very enlightening, very fascinating. I appreciate that a lot. Now, you've obviously mentioned you don't have a business card, and you work with the people directly under you. If people wanted to reach out, or learn more about what it is you're doing, or some kind of action follow-up after this podcast, where should people go or what should people do? Well, Steven, I totally appreciate and respect you, and I'm glad that you invited me to be on your broadcast. This, for me, was really a favor to you. It wasn't an opportunity for me to recruit. I don't think I'm that great anyway, but- Lies. ... I think that if you find out who I am and what I'm in, and you want to get involved, I would say embrace a local leader in your local market that's on my team. That's great. I'm not here to recruit people. I'm just here to support, so if they want to reach out to you, you know how to get ahold of me. So let's work it that way. Sounds good. We'll do it that way. Awesome. Jon, thank you so much. I appreciate that. This has been fantastic. It's my absolute pleasure, and I look forward to working with you in the future. I'll tell you something: In life, when you get two people, I love the mastermind principle, and you get two people, it creates a third more powerful mind, and you can change the world getting two people committed, and believing in themselves, and moving in the right direction. So I thank you, Steven, for what you bring to the table and your commitment to success. Hey, thanks for listening. Please remember to subscribe and leave feedback.

If what you thought to be true turned out not to be, when would you want to know about it? Many of you are familiar with the popular radio talk show host Dave Ramsey. Dave is well known for helping people get out of debt. Dave Ramsey heavily markets his “Financial Peace University” course and products through evangelical churches. Dave Ramsey should be given credit for his work in educating people about the devastating effects of debt. That horrible thing that requires you to pay back others with interest. However, when his focus shifts from becoming debt free to capital accumulation, he is often just plain wrong. I (David) encourage you to not take my word for it. Do your own research. Much of what Dave Ramsey advocates when it comes to wealth accumulation can be proven wrong with math. Just one example from his book is below. A Quote From Dave Ramsey's book. “A Government Gift?” “Billionaire J. Paul Getty says that one of the keys to building wealth is not to pay taxes on money until you use it. So you shouldn't pay taxes on retirement dollars until you use them. You should always invest long term with pretax dollars. What if I gave you $2,000 each year and these were the conditions: You can earn all the interest you want on that $2,000 – and keep it – but you have to give the $2,000 for each year back to me when you are seventy years old. If you were thirty-five years old and we did that for thirty-five years at 12 percent, you would have $863,326. You do have to give me back $2,000 x 35 years or $70,000, but you still net $793,326. If you save $6,700 per year in a pretax investment like a 401(k) or SEPP (Simplified Employee Pension Plan), the above scenario would have occurred. If you bring that $6,700 per year home, it turns into $4,700 by the time Uncle Congress gets his greedy cut, so $2,000 of that money is Uncle Congress's – which, if we invest pretax, we get to keep for free all those years. What a deal! I have heard the ridiculous pitch that it is better to pay your taxes today because tax rates may be higher by the time you get to retirement. The only people who believe that argument do not understand the power of the present value of dollars or are life insurance salesmen.” ~(Dave Ramsey, Financial Peace Revisited, Penguin Group, page 154-155) FACT: If all things are equal meaning your rate of return and the rate at which you are taxed are the same today, and when you retired, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE between pre-tax and after tax contributions. You will end up with the EXACT same amount of money. This is a mathematical certainty. First, do you really believe the government only takes that which you put in? Do you really believe that the government will allow you to contribute $2,000, pay no tax on that $2,000, let it grow, and then only pay them back the $2,000 when it's time to take it out? The truth is that the government gets to confiscate as much as it wants of your full account balance. How? The government gets to decide what tax bracket you'll be in at the time of withdrawal. Think about it. If you postpone paying your taxes to a later date, essentially you are subject to a future unknown tax calculation that you have no control over. Only the government decides how much they are going to take. Take a look at USDebtClock.org and decide for yourself if you think taxes are going up, staying the same or going down in the future. If you believe that taxes are going up in the future, then deferring your taxes to a later date is a bad thing. In future shows we will break down some more factually inaccurate teachings of Dave Ramsey. You may ask yourself, how can you claim that some of what D.R. is teaching people is not true.? Well, it can be disproved with Math. We encourage you to be a critical thinker. Just because someone writes something in a book, or markets their products to you in your church doesn't make it the gospel (no pun intended). Be a critical thinker. Think for yourself.
