Sheesh.<\/p>\n
Even when on a “news fast” I STILL hear about the economy. <\/p>\n
Whether it’s from my family, friends, or random Internet chatter, I keep getting whiffs of financial news.<\/p>\n
With one “camp” saying everything’s peachy keen.<\/p>\n
And the other screaming about how the sky could fall at any time.<\/p>\n
Which one is right?<\/p>\n
I don’t know.<\/p>\n
All I know is the whole mess reminds me of those old Loony Toons shows where Elmer Fudd walks off a cliff. But, instead of falling, he keeps walking on the air because he doesn’t KNOW he’s not on land anymore. However, as soon as he looks down and realizes he’s on air — WHOOSH!<\/strong> — he drops like a lead balloon. <\/p>\n Hey, let’s face it:<\/p>\n A LOT of people were walking on air when the banks went ka-blooey.<\/p>\n Question is, how can people prevent it from happening again?<\/p>\n How can you protect yourself and family if things DO get worse?<\/p>\n Below are 5 simple things anyone can do to defend themselves from future financial storms and government\/bankster “hi-jinx.”<\/p>\n Yes, they ARE simple steps.<\/p>\n But don’t let the simplicity fool you. This stuff really does work. And, in most cases, won’t cost you a penny.<\/p>\n Here goes…<\/p>\n 1. Shut Off The News<\/strong><\/p>\n What’s that?<\/p>\n You’ve heard me rail about this before?<\/p>\n I can’t help it. <\/p>\n The news is negative and worthless, IMHO. Unfortunately, you may not be able to totally shut it out. I mean, even if you’re on a food fast, you’re still going to smell what’s going on in the kitchen, yeah?<\/p>\n But you can still refuse to eat their food. <\/p>\n And it’ll do WONDERS for your productivity.<\/p>\n 2. Mastermind<\/strong><\/p>\n Haven’t found a mastermind group yet?<\/p>\n Then what are you waiting for?<\/p>\n This one thing ALONE can get you on the right track and fill you with so many ideas you won’t even know what to do with them all.<\/p>\n If you can’t find one, START one of your own.<\/p>\n 3. Multiple Income Streams<\/strong><\/p>\n “One” is the WORST number in business. <\/p>\n If you rely on one income stream, then I HIGHLY suggest changing that — fast. Otherwise it’s like you’re walking on air in the cartoons and don’t know it.<\/p>\n 4. Be Thankful<\/strong><\/p>\n Count your blessings before<\/em> you count your money, and I bet you’ll find yourself getting more of both.<\/p>\n Hokey?<\/p>\n Maybe.<\/p>\n But try it for yourself and I think you’ll agree.<\/p>\n 5. Learn To Sell<\/strong><\/p>\n Earl Nightingale said it best:<\/p>\n “Selling is the world’s highest paid profession — if you’re good at it, and if you know where you’re going.”<\/em><\/p>\n Very true.<\/p>\n And if you want to be able to sell in a quick, easy and 100% painless way, check out the 101 secrets in my new Crackerjack Selling Secrets<\/a><\/strong> book at: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
