Getting started on the path to making serious money...

OKAY! Let's start talking about making serious money, I am going to show you how to make $5,000,000 this week and you do not have to do any work for it You just sign up with me and send me money and it will happen. How about NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been lured into my share of get rich quick schemes and have learned many valuable lessons over the years. For all of you that have ever been involved in any type of get rich quick plan I will tell you that I know your pain. I purchased Carlton Sheets get rich off of real estate now, Don Lapre's 900 number goldmine, been involved in so many different marketing companies pushing everything from vitamins to magical energy potions, home care products, Internet service, classified ad's. I could go on and on with a much longer list because I was always looking for the next big thing and fast way to make cash. I could kick myself for not doing better research back then and finding a solid company and building from there. I signed up with companies that were closed down 1 month later and I had lost my money and was on to the next one. With all the trials and errors over the years the real world became my classroom and the men and woman that I got involved with my teachers. 

Now some of them taught me good things to do and practices to follow to help ensure success and others showed me what NOT TO DO and how to completely destroy your own business and have everyone around you not want to work with you. So they were valuable lessons learned from both sides and it has made me that much better off then if I had not experienced all of that. I will say that some of those lessons were not only financially painful, but embarrassing because I had tried to bring friends and family along with me on THE NEXT BIG THING! And those that joined were upset and disappointed when things failed and those that did not join were sitting there saying I TOLD YOU SO!!!!! That is one phrase that I got so tired of hearing and it drove me to work even harder. After all the years of trial and error I can usually tell right away if the company that someone is presenting to me is something that I would want to get involved in. 

And I am always looking for new projects that I can fit into my schedule that I feel will be a good fit for me and be worth my time and effort to make some more money. When I look at an opportunity I look at three key things 1. Can I see myself doing this? 2.Do I believe in the product or service? 3.Will I make money?. Of course, there are many more questions to ask when looking at an opportunity, but those three are the ones I use to see if I want to pursue it any further . Once I make a decision to move forward with a company I do lots of research and the very first thing I do is Google the company and the name of the person that sent me the information. There has been times that I was sent a link to an opportunity and thought it sounded good and asked myself the first three questions and searched for information to find out that the company is being shut down and the CEO of the company is being indicted for fraud. After that I will ask around to friends or family that I know may have been involved with that business. I will also reach out to the groups that I am connected with and highly recommend joining groups that are associated with what you want to do. I am into MLM so I join Multi Level Marketing groups and work from home opportunity groups. Join similar groups that share your interest and pool them for information, this is a great resource. So please make sure you do your research before dropping your money down and getting involved in anything.

More work on my website...

  Today was another day spent working on my website and making a bunch of phone calls to new business prospects and with this weather I am glad to do that from home in some sweat pants and slippers .It does take discipline to work from home and most people that I have talked to that do work from home will say that having that DISCIPLINE to sit there and get the work done. With all the distractions that you have in the home, computer and all the distractions involved with getting on the computer. Social media sites are one of the biggest time suckers and if you do not have a boss or Co workers around you to see what you are doing some people tend to stray from the program a little. I enjoy playing some Xbox One and that can definitely drain some serious time from your day and get away from you rather quickly.

 One of the biggest things that I do is plan my day out and use a daily action planner to make sure I get everything accomplished. This planner breaks my day down by the hour and lets me know what I need to be doing and when it has to be done. I also have no problem making sure that I make my money before I take a break and watch one of my shows or play a game. If you set up strict guidelines and stick to them and know that in order to get things done, you have to follow your game plan or you will quickly find out how fast the time gets away from you. Believe me it has happened to me before where I will say alright before I get started for the day I am going to watch ONE episode of The Walking Dead and three or four episodes later I am like SHIT!!! it is hours later and I am behind and you have to hustle harder to try and make up for all that time and it just makes me more frustrated trying to get caught up. So what I do is start the day right away like I am going to the office, I wake up and take a shower and get dressed. Yes sometimes I am in sweatpants a t-shirt and slippers, but not the same clothes I wore to bed. I need to get up and shower and change and that makes me feel like I am ready to start my day.

 There are other things I do to make sure the environment in my home office is going to make for a productive day. Little things like making sure the printer is on the other side of the room so I have to get up and move a little when I print something. I also have music on that is going to keep me pumped up and moving or motivational speeches that I have downloaded. I have been to a few people's homes where they have their office set up and I was blown away at how they were set up. There was one that was set up in a room that had tanks and cages with his pets in them, spiders,snakes and lizards and he would take constant breaks to feed them or play with them or just sit and watch them. I would meet with him on Monday and we were working together on a project that we should have had done by that Friday, so I go back to meet with him and there was about 2 hours worth of work done for the whole week and quickly found out that the animals were consuming his time. That was the first and last time that we worked together because of his failure to get things done. I also met with someone else that loved to cook and had a small desk off to one side of the kitchen and would take breaks to make lunch and it would turn into a whole cooking adventure and would not get all the stuff done that he was supposed to and we did not work together for long either.


It is great to have hobbies and passion about something, but you need to separate them from your work. You need to treat it like you are getting up and going to earn your paycheck, you would not start playing with snakes and spiders in the middle of your work day at the office would you? Well, you could but how long would you work there after that ? yeah not long, HAHA. You need to find out what works for you and what does not work for you it is different for everybody I only know what works for me. MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Working on my website...

Today I spent the day working on one of my BIG projects right now and that is my personal website. I am putting a blog on there that goes into all the detail about my life that I am not allowed to get into on this blog because of the restrictions and I understand that so I have MY STORY on my website, so check it out. http://www.roboaces.com/      I also have a mix of things on the page like funny stuff I find, motivational pictures and quotes,a link to my business opportunities, it is a little bit of everything.

 I never knew how much work would go into getting the page all set up and running, moving widgets around and uploading photos and changing it all around when you find a better theme. Yeah it has been very long days and lots of learning about the different ways to manipulate Word Press  and get it set up the way that I like it, I will probably go change something after I am done here. That is one of my flaws, I am a perfectionist and will spend to much time trying to make sure it is perfect and that can consume you. It was a much bigger problem in the past and I have been working on it and making sure that I continue to tell myself that IT WILL NEVER BE PERFECT!

 Many of us wait for the perfect circumstances or wait until the think things will be perfect and so much time is spent WAITING, get off your ass and get in the game. I have done more learning and correcting things on the fly versus sitting and waiting for the situation to be perfect. Even if you feel the settings are not where you want them to be just get moving and you can make adjustments as you go. I have watched many people wait and wait for the perfect time to join an opportunity and they end up waiting to long and they missed the boat. So a great piece of advice from  me is to do your research and get moving, do not go and join a program or start a business without doing your research. But after jump in feet first and get moving towards your goal and you will make mistakes, we all do. But those mistakes will help you learn and grow in a whole new way that is better than any kind of waiting and hoping to learn something.

 There are so many times that I waited for circumstances to change and I missed an opportunity and was upset with  myself after that. I learned that you will fall down but get back up and get back in the race, the bumps and bruises that you accumulate along your journey will tech you so much and you will be so much better off. And believe me you will be farther than the person that is waiting on the sidelines for the right time to get in the game.

  So get up and get started and go after your dreams and you will be so much happier. As I will always say I am here to help you in anyway that I can and show you how I have done it and the path for anyone to follow to get to where you want to be. MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Making new connections...

 Today I focused on making new connections ad this is important if you want your business to continue to grow. I am constantly trying to meet new people and looking for people who are interested in doing something different with their lives.I will talk to anyone and everyone I don't care if you are the janitor or the CEO of the company I will respect you and give you my time and attention. There are people that will look at some people and put them into a box and say something like "They do not look like they would be interested in what I am doing" . I cannot stand that philosophy, how do you know what they are going through and you are judging them just by how they look. I have talked to people that are pumping my gas and have turned out to be huge assets to me and helped me grow my business so my advice is to talk to EVERYBODY!  Also the quicker you get all the NO'S out of the way you are on your way to the YES'S!

  It is so hard for some people that I work with to go up and talk to a stranger or even talk to their own family and friends about what they are doing. This is seriously terrifying to many people and a huge problem in moving forward at work or in personal business ventures. I used to be very shy and had to work on overcoming that and some people might say now that I am to outgoing, HaHa. There are many different ways to work on this and continue to grow and get better at approaching people and speaking in public . I recommend this article as well it has solid advice and works- http://www.forbes.com/sites/carminegallo/2014/07/22/7-advanced-presentation-tips-to-become-a-great-public-speaker/

   Until you are better at speaking to people in public there are other ways to make new connections and the way social media is set up now you really never would have to meet anyone in person if you did not want to. I feel it builds a stronger bond and a more personal touch when you meet in person, now I do have people  work with in my network that I have not met in person YET! They live in other states or countries and we have not had the chance to meet in person yet but we have developed a solid working and personal relationship  through email,social media and phone calls. Just to hear someones voice builds a better connection than reading emails or messages from Facebook. I reach out to people all the time just to check in and let them know I am here, even if they do not pick I leave a quick message. It is an easy thing to do and does not take long to let people know you care and are a real person.

  Earlier today I met with my girlfriend's best friend and explained to her what I do and showed her how easy it is to set up her own programs and start making an extra income. We met for over an hour and she was taking notes and I think I talked for an hour straight, I had said before I  tend to ramble.
 Especially when it is something I am passionate about I can go on and ON AND ON, there is no off button. She was taking notes and I had to slow down a little so she could catch up and get all the notes that she wanted. That is what I love to do and a few months from now when she is doing her own thing and has built a successful base and thanks me that puts the BIGGEST smile on my face. I just enjoy watching someone take the information that I share and using that to build what they want. That is a great joy to see someone build something from the bricks that you gave them and watch their life change directions  and gain financial freedom and be able to do whatever they want.

 For me helping someone else realize the potential that they have inside them that is going unused  and they can channel that into building their dreams, is just pure pleasure for me. I think most people would love to be able to help people if they could and feel great about it. So I encourage you to help someone else improve the quality of their life, I mean invest some time in another person and help them grow. You may have skills that you can teach or a business that you feel would really help someone so reach out to them. MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!

Thinking of the beach...

  Today I spent a large part of my day working on many different things working from home and thinking about how much I miss the beach. I have had it with this cold weather and the snow I am so over it. I have to convince my girlfriend to move to California and get away from this crazy weather. I think once we get there she will get used to it real quick and want to stay, so I am am working on a plan to get her out there to visit. Her brother is here visiting from Puerto Rico and he said the other day that this weather is ABUSE, he does not know how we deal with it. And that stuck in my head and  I feel he is right it is like abuse when you walk outside and the wind is so harsh that it feels like it is slicing your face off when it blows and tears up your eyes and steals your breath. I no longer want to endure these Pennsylvania winters and want to head to the west coast and enjoy the weather all year round.

 Do not get me wrong I do like to ski,snowboard and take the kids sledding or tubing and it brings back great memories from childhood when I did all that.I have many fond memories of sledding for hours and not wanting to come in from the cold even though I was turning blue, I think many of us did not want to come inside when we were told and now I take a second to think if I really need to make that trip to the store now or can it wait because I do not want to go outside in this.But I want to be able to go do that and have fun and leave when we are done and not have to get up and shovel the sidewalk or scrape ice off the car, you know what I mean. This entire month has been a very cold one and we are nearing the end of February so I should not have to endure the cold weather here much longer.

 So I will start working in my plan to get my love out to California and showing her all the great things the state has to offer. She loves to shop so I think the malls alone will do it for her and the fact that she can wear cut little sundresses and shorts all year long, yeah I will get her out there. My Son and I took a trip out two summers ago to attend a music festival and it was his first time out there and he did not want to come back. We stayed in  Mountain View, California to be close to the  Shoreline Amphitheatre where the concert was. We had a blast and there were 69 different acts at the event and we got to see so many of them.

 There were classic acts from when I was growing up and some new school stuff so it was a great show for a mix of people. My Son and I commented how we were at such a large event with tens of thousands of people both days and did not see one single fight and there was tons of drinking , it may have had something to do with marijuana being legal and smoked freely at the show. I want to think it is just the California vibe and people are a lot more laid back and not so uptight. We were taking a little break to charge our phones at one of the charging stations they had place all over and my Son made a comment about some guys garlic fries, he said "WOW they smell great" and the guy said" here man have some I cannot eat all these" and that is something we were not used to and that was the vibe the entire time we were there, whether it was waiting in line to get in and people were offering us drinks they had in their cooler or fries. It is just so laid back and we loved and talk about going back all the time and we will be going back.

 We had so much fun and got to see so much, we cannot wait to go back to the same area. You could spend a few days alone just down by the pier in San Francisco and not get bored. We walked from one end all the way down to the other and still did not get to see everything that we wanted to. I highly recommend a trip out there and take in all that you can you will not be disappointed. We have a list of other places we want to go and will be posting about those trips and telling you what we think. I always say how thankful I am for making the choice to take charge of my life and work for my self I also recommend that to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You will love the freedom to be able to do whatever you want and live life on YOUR own terms. I am here to help in ANYWAY I can, so decide what it is that you want and GO AFTER IT! MAKE IT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
