Here's the logic of what to look for in making a living: A living can (and probably should) be made without being part of the conventional "system". It will probably involve the Internet, but for sure it will involve your own network of friends and associates. Everybody has to win at this. And that means every single person on this chain of contacts which stretched through any and every life you touch. While I was checking down these lines, most all regular businesses fell out and didn't make the cut. And as I do web design to pay my bills, I run across a lot of different business models. And this research was after I did the work of sorting out whether college degrees made a difference (they don't) and where entry-level jobs would take you (not very far, even after a 20-30 year career with a single company.) The point all my research repeatedly pointed to this: you have to ignore what passes for conventional "wisdom" and find what really works.

1. Living the American Dream...
- or - Can you make a good living in harmony with Nature?
An open letter to all my friends - present, past, and those yet to
be::
Well, now I've gone and done it. And, as usual, ask you to
reject everything I am about to tell you - at least until you've
proven it for yourself.
You probably know how I've spent most of the half-century on
this planet working out how this universe works, boiling it
down and making it simple for anyone to understand. And
next after that was to make Enlightenment (aka: satori, cosmic
consciousness) also easy to achieve. Finally, I worked out
what a person was to do with all those possibilities they have
after that high state was theirs forever.
These are all written up and available as books. (The final one
is available for free here, and courses on what I cover are
here.)
Now, it's all fine to have a high personal state and so on - but what good is it if your broke and can't
afford to buy good food to keep your health?
A person has to make a living meanwhile. And more money is always better.
But to be honest, while I've been figuring this "making a living" stuff out, it's been quite convoluted.
Mainly because unless you are dealing with someone who is particularly honest and straightforward,
there's always a bit of a slant or scam in it. So that has to be weeded out as well. (And of course, I was
more interested in sorting some major issues like regaining native freedom, peace, and personal
abundance to worry about this other much.)
Here's the logic of what to look for in making a living:
• A living can (and probably should) be made without being part of the conventional "system".
• It will probably involve the Internet, but for sure it will involve your own network of friends
and associates.
• Everybody has to win at this. And that means every single person on this chain of contacts
which stretched through any and every life you touch.
While I was checking down these lines, most all regular businesses fell out and didn't make the cut.
And as I do web design to pay my bills, I run across a lot of different business models. And this
research was after I did the work of sorting out whether college degrees made a difference (they don't)
and where entry-level jobs would take you (not very far, even after a 20-30 year career with a single
company.)
The point all my research repeatedly pointed to this: you have to ignore what passes for conventional
"wisdom" and find what really works.

2. As I've told you before, the other half of the "Thrivelearning System" is based on individual work:
1. Knowing the basics of how to make money - and getting really clear on this.
2. Having a website which makes you money and train how to make money online.
3. Doing the research which allows you to find valuable products which you believe in but can
dropship - or do affiliates sales for - and so carry no (or little) product in your own home.
All the best companies down this line have extensive training
available at no cost. All of them. They really want you to
succeed personally.
But the main points are those three above, regardless of the
company
What I uncovered recently was a single program which fit all
these. Now it doesn't mean that these others I found (and still
recommend) are obsolete. And all that above training you may
have taken up to this point will amplify what I'm about to tell
you.
One of the funny things is that the company behind this
program, as well as the program itself, is that it's as old as I
am. Both of us started the same year. And I'd heard about it all
my life. When I did a web design for one of its distributors, I
had to do my usual amount of homework to understand what he and his wife were trying to do with
their lives. And they had very busy lives - he's a 4-time national truck-pulling champion and had a full-
time business building racing engines. She works full time for the government in their agriculture
branch. But in this last year, they were able to make a full time income using the scraps and pieces of
time they had laying around - essentially by just listening to people they meet and friends, then helping
them as best they could.
That sounds just too easy, doesn't it? But it was true - they made over $30K in a year, plus got enough
to pay half of a new car. You can see them talking on that new website I just built this last week: Real-
Life-Choices.com
The product and business is Shaklee.
Yes, that's all hard to believe - and I don't expect you to.
Why I'm interested in this is that it's probably the best business model you can have these days. It is
basically recession-proof and you earn as much as you work, not just how long you work. It's the
retirement you want, not what your company or the government is willing (or able) to give you. (More
absurd claims I expect you to reject. Please.) And the "work" isn't really - it's helping people.
As usual, I ask you to not believe anything I say - to only check it out for yourself. Just another
opportunity.
Also also as usual, I'm running way too long on this.
The YouTube video channel to check out on this is FC Shaklee.

3. Your choice, as usual.
Thanks for being there.
Thrivelearning System - A Guide
Find ways how to improve your life, run a successful online business, get your
freedom back.
I've searched over the Internet for
really workable programs for more
than a couple of decades. The main
criteria was that they had to work and
they had to help people actually
improve their lives. The goal is that
people are enabled to get their
abundance which is already native.
People don't know how simple it is to
have a peaceful, free life. They don't
know that starting an online business
does have a learning curve, but when
you find the right mentor and the right
partners, it can be really simple and
successful.
So these programs each individually
work. But the real power is that they
integrate into a powerful system that is
more effective than the single parts.
There are two approaches to this - Spiritual and Business
Spiritual: You should be able to have all the freedom, peace, and abundance you could
ever want.
Business: You can and should know how to leverage the Internet to make your own online
success.

4. Like many, I was caught up in the “get rich quick” “how to make money online” schemes that are very
often pushed with Internet Marketing.
And it took me a long time (over a year) to learn enough to earn my money back out
of the scheme I bought into. (No, I had to attend “Hard Luck U” and sweat it out with a keyboard and
Google searches - it wasn’t found in the “training” I bought.) And that company has improved
considerably since that time - it was lessons all around, the way I saw it.
But since then, I’ve really discovered how to thrive - by discovering and testing the exact techniques of
self-help and spiritual training which will attract any amount of money or abundance you want. No
“institute” required, no expensive ”schooling” or “coaching” - learn at your own pace, from your own
home.
Now I am starting to regularly earn money working at home, mostly from online affiliate sales and my
own books . It’s not hard to learn, if you want to invest your time (and a little cash here and there.) But
you only get out what you invest of your self…
Here’s the programs I found that actually work:
Spiritual
1. Find your inner peace - Use Release Technique
2. Learn how to remain calm under stress - Use Silva Life System
3. Thrive financially with your Millionaire Mindset - Learn from T. Harv Eker
4. Simply Wake Up and Live! - Dorothea Brande's classic.
5. Get a library of proven, workable materials - Spiritual Training Materials
Business
1. Do market research for products which can factually earn you online income - Chris Malta's
Worldwide Brands
2. Master social network marketing - Charles Heflin’s Synnd
3. Get a site builder and web host with decades of experience -Ken Evoy's Site Build It!
4. Find the simplicities to protecting yourself legally – Dr. Frederick Graves' Jurisdictionary
5. Get and stay scam free from here on out - Get Scam Free (book and online course)

5. Release Technique
Release Technique is simply learning to actually look at what is happening
around you and letting go of what you don't want. Too easy, actually. Some
people have to know more about such a technique before they can really put
it to use in their lives. Larry Crane used it to save his life. He was already a
millionaire - even on the cover of Time - but found he wanted to commit
suicide because of his own inner stress. He met a guy named Lester
Levenson, who taught him to release the inner programs which caused that. Larry changed his life –
and has been teaching and promoting this course ever since.
Silva Life System
Laura found herself in trouble. Her health was failing, she couldn't keep a
job, she was desperately "in love" with someone who only took advantage of
her. Then she rediscovered for herself the system of active meditation she
had been involved with since childhood, literally growing up around it. Once
she put this to use in her own life, she became more and more successful as she applied it. Now happily
married with several children, she has devoted her life to continuing her father's proven program of
active meditation. More people than ever have found how easy it is to meditate through Jose and Laura
Silvas' works. There are reportedly millions internationally who are using Silva materials to gain calm,
successful lives. You can, too.
Millionaire Mind Intensive
The key point is that you have to re-learn all you've learned up to this point
about money. What he starts out to begin with is to tell you, “Don’t believe
anything I say, but try these ideas out in your own life - and trust these ideas
you are trying.”How Eker gets you to re-train your millionaires mind isn't
all that new. But he took up the study of millionaire and rich-people
psychology in earnest so solve his own inability to make and hold onto
money. While he made (and lost) millions early in his life, it was his own studies into how people did
this which made him an international success. Now he spends his time only in helping others to adjust
their own Millionaire Mindset

6. Wake Up and Live
I was introduced to it by Earl Nightingale (of "Our Changing World" fame).
It was in his "Strangest Secret" recording where he introduced her now
famous credo:
"Act as though it were impossible to fail."
And she explains how she got to that point in this book. The first section is an autobiography of sorts,
explaining the gist of her discovered philosophy of life - and how that credo lead her straight to an
amazing career after a rather mundane existence prior. Newly republished in an easy-to-read format,
this book is an essential classic for anyone's library.
Spiritual Training Materials
For anyone to really make their way through life, they have to find and
follow mentors. With our modern Internet Age, you no longer have to take
time out and travel to distant lands in order to sit at the feet of a Master and
absorb their knowledge. Even the long-passed can reveal their secrets from
their book sand materials. I've assembled a short list of books which have
been proved time and again to hold the secrets to all health,wealth, success,
and relationships. The path is there - you have only to walk it. Build your library today!
Web Site Builder
Site Build It! is the only product that takes the time to prepare you to build a
profitable business, before you jump into building your site. For the
beginner, your learning curve will be shorter and you’ll bypass any show-
stopping errors. For those experienced in site-building, SBI! deepens your
level of understanding. No matter who you are, you are guided all the way until you succeed. This
approach symbolizes SBI!’s steady-and-sure approach. It’s definitely not GRQ (Get Rich Quick) and
keeps you from getting distracted by false promises or dead-end tools and strategies that end up costing
more money. Experienced users will appreciate avoiding time-wasters that don't help you succeed.
Think of it as a simple, direct, hype-free path that leads to success. Check it out for yourself.

7. Profitable Market Research
The reason Chris started WWB is just because he knew how profitable it was
to sell for others - but ran into the same shady operators so many of us do. He
sat out building a company which did the homework for you - so you only
need login to their single interface where they've already predigested the
product discovery, keyword research, and verified the drop-shippers as legit. No middlemen, no
scammers. Just you, your hard work, and your filling bank account. Not for the faint at heart - this is
only for those serious about doing the homework necessary to find salable, profitable products to sell.
Social Network Marketing
Once you have a product and a website, you need to promote it. Charles
Heflin has been marketing at least as long as the World Wide Web has
existed. And he formed Social Media Science just to study the social media
phenomenon. Per their website: "Social Media Science is dedicated to the science of online social
media as it applies to gaining visibility for you ronline or offline business. We are dedicated to
educating the business community through a robust educational system as well as providing cutting
edge software tools to make marketing your business easier, more effective and measurable. See what
sets us apart." It's only here where you learn how to really market online.
Get a Winning Lawyer - Defend Your Company
Dr. Frederick Graves is a lawyer who has taken on the formidable task of
educating people how to figure out what the hell is going on. But it's not all
that complicated. For any business, if you understand the legal system, you
can avoid situations which would lead you into any unnecessary involvement
in the courts. Technically, you learn enough to use the laws to do what they
are supposed to - protect against inequality and bullying behavior. The point
is that when you do need to get a lawyer, you can also ensure that he's doing what you're paying him
for. With all else you need to follow in business, you don't also need the excess expense which legal
costs can bring.
