Monday, January 4, 2010 at 01:43PM Dear WMI Members and Consultants,
First….a very Happy New Year to everyone!
It’s incredible realizing that we are wrapping up the company’s 5th year. We’ve gone from having just 10 Members in our first month to over 20,000 (in over 30 countries) as we begin 2010. Back in 2005, Karl and I had no idea exactly how fast we would grow, but deep down we knew that as long as we remained committed to building WMI with integrity that we had the potential to attract the worlds best marketers, which in turn would allow us the opportunity to serve Members from all walks of life with our holistic approach to world class education in Wealth, Health and Wisdom. The fact that we are now an industry leader proves that we are on the right track.
For those of you with kids, you know how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday that Cindy and I were holding our two boys as newborns. Now, Tyler and Sam are 17 and 13, and I find myself wondering where all of those years went. Finding this industry (in 1999) has given me the opportunity…and the time…to create memories and experiences that I otherwise would have never had. I know I speak for most of you reading this as well. Now, as we head into a new decade, our thoughts turn to goal setting and our plans to make 2010 the best year ever.
As you’ve heard and read about, WMI has some ground breaking developments in store for each of you, from both a Member and Consultant point of view. Thanks to Carbon Copy Pro, thousands of entrepreneurs have had the ability to learn internet marketing from the absolute best in the business. We all have Jay and Aaron (along with the entire Pro leadership team) to thank for this, and their plans for 2010 will only increase your ability to earn record incomes going forward.
With our knowledge of what’s coming down the pipe, I predict that 2010 will be the most important year of your business career. I am often reminded of a favorite quote from Napoleon Hill, and from our point of view, it’s more appropriate now than ever; “Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win, essential to success.”
“Cut all sources of retreat…with a burning desire to win”…what a powerful thought process! And, it’s a mindset shared by every top leader in WMI. Karl and I adopted this mindset over a decade ago, and in early 2009 it was the primary motivation behind our decision to launch a “traditional” marketing approach with Wealth Masters. We didn’t enter into this decision lightly. It was well researched, well thought out, and trust me on this…very well funded. And, talk about a win-win. CCPro’s unmatched online marketing expertise plus our new offline marketing approach. What we are about to unveil is centered around WMI’s new product line, featuring the 1% Solution and The Conspiracy Against Your Money documentary, along with our built from the ground floor up marketing division. We’ve had the air attack covered for years with CCPro… and now we will have the ground attack covered as well.
Make no mistake about it….this will be the first time that this level of marketing expertise has been combined in one company in the direct sales arena, and it’s the reason that you’ve heard all of the industry buzz about Wealth Masters as we head into 2010.
We truly look forward to an amazing New Year together. This has the potential to be the most important year of your life, so make sure you are involved at the ground floor as we launch everything that is the “New WMI” on January 30th, here in Houston, TX.
Wednesday, December 30, 2009 at 07:02PM Now...the more important question is; Do you really want 2010 to be better?
The reality...the sad reality... is that most people go about setting goals in a way thats guaranteed that they will never achieve them. The majority focus on their past; what they either didn't do, or what they did wrong. Then they go about trying to correct those "mistakes" in the new year. Big mistake.
You see, it's by focusing on the negatives in your life that you almost insure that you will repeat those same mistakes....time and time again. Instead, what if you were to focus on what you actually want out of life? Think about it this way; Your emotions...and your thoughts...act as a magnet to your reality.
Whatever you think about....you will most certainly bring about.
Join us in Houston. Together we will make 2010 your best year ever.

Saturday, December 26, 2009 at 08:52PM Long time readers know that I preach the importance of individual stock selection. The market can be falling apart but as long as you own solid companies your investments will perform extremely well over the long run. Another way of putting it...It's a market of stocks, not a stock market.
Having said that, it is incredibly important to have a clear view of the macro environment...how is the overall economy (both in the US and globally) doing and how is it expected to do in the months to come? So...lets start there. It is vital that you understand this subject and where we are headed over the next 1-3-5...and maybe even 8- 10 years.
Long term, I am very concerned about the health of both the US and global economies. Sure, China has held up incredibly well, but outside of this still communist country and maybe Brazil and Australia, there aren't many bright spots to be found around the world. And, once you dig a little deeper into China you will discover that if it were not for their massive government stimulus programs (which were more than twice as large as the US taxpayer funded bailouts), China would be in a serious recession as well. Of course, commodity rich countries, like Brazil, Canada, Australia, etc., have done well and for obvious reasons; the stuff they are able to extract from the ground has given them lots of valuable exports and reciprocal income. The truth is, if it were not for China and their decision to provide a foundation for the weakest global economy since the 1930's, we would likely be witnessing a global depression right now.
As we enter 2010 the question remains; what happens when the "funny money" runs out? After all, at some point governments around the world will be unable to continue printing and passing out money to replace the spending that consumers are responsible for. And we know that consumers are still spending very little money...thats what happens when they don't have jobs. In the US, over 70% of our economy is driven by consumerism...the stuff that we buy. Globally, these percentages vary from as low as 40% to our high levels domestically.
Here's my prediction for 2010 on this most important of questions; As it becomes more and more clear that the US economy is incapable of bouncing back on its own, look for additional stimulus programs to be announced. And this exact scenario will play out around the globe. So, don't be surprised to see these idiotic decisions by the powers that be to move stock markets higher in the short term. In fact, this is one of the reasons that our markets continue to rise today, in anticipation of just this sort of action. These moves are already being made in Japan, which just announced a one trillion (yen) stimulus program tonight. And who knows, these massive bailout programs may propel stock markets higher for months to come. Following the 1929 crash, the government launched one bailout after another until many were convinced that the worst was behind us, only to see the stock market drop nearly 90% in the years to come. In Japan they have repeated just about every page from our 1930's playbook only to see their stock market drop from 38,000 to 8,000...80% + over a 10 year period. This has pushed their debt to levels that make it clear it can never be repaid. And once Japan begins to default, which will begin to happen once interest rates begin to rise, a domino effect will unfold globally with such speed and force that it will be breathtaking in its magnitude.
And this is the key....rising interest rates. Folks, they are on their way and they cannot be stopped. Hyperinflation is a word that few know or understand, but in the years to come it will become a household name...and it will bring a level of fear and panic that make the last couple of years look tame in comparison.
This is why I continue to discuss, educate about and recommend the Armageddon Trade to VRA subscribers. This is why we own gold and silver, gold and silver mining stocks, and its why we are short 30 year Treasury bonds. This trade will be one of the most lucrative of the next 5 years and one that I strongly believe should be a core holding for every portfolio.
This is the central plot line for the $50 trillion wealth transfer. The greatest transfer of wealth in history has begun....make sure you are prepared.
With crisis comes opportunity. In this case, a once in a multi-century opportunity.
