I never cease to be amazed.
In the last 24 hours, we’ve had over 334 readers submit comments telling us why they should get a FREE copy of my Business Acceleration Program.
And some of them really spectacular!
Many of the comments were about how the Business Acceleration Program is already or will be making a significant impact on their businesses.
In fact, we’re still sifting through new comments as they come in but so far one stands out from the rest and is clearly one of the winners.
So here we go
I’d like to award the first free copy of my Business Acceleration Program–plus all the bonuses that come with it (valued at more than $20,000 total) to…
(drumroll please)
Winner 1 of 6 - Margaret Chandler!
Margaret submitted the following comment and really blew us away. We’re proud to give her the full Business Acceleration Package and all the extras with our compliments.
Congratulations, Margaret!
Heres Margarets winning entry:
Rich,
Here is THE ONE you wont be able to refuse.Nowhere else
Will you find a group like this.
Nowhere else
Will you find a group of teenagers whose highlight of the week is to willingly and eagerly get up and be at a meeting early on a Saturday morning.
Nowhere else
Will you find adults who believe a bunch of kids can or will do what these kids are doing.
Where am I?
I am in a roomful of enthusiastic, loud, eager, energetic teenagers complaining because the group only meets once a week. Everyone is here five minutes early, why havent we started yet?
They have big ideas keeping them awake at night and distracting them from their studies. They will come BEFORE school any morningjust tell them when and where.
What is this all about?
These kids are enthusiastic and energetic because they know that what they are learning from this mentoring program will insure that they NEVER have the worries they have seen their parents have had. Losing sleep over and get divorced overmaking it from paycheck to paycheck, how will I pay for college, how will I pay for retirement, what if I lose my job, and the list goes on and on.In fact, these teens KNOW they will be able to comfortably banish these worries not only for themselves but for their parents as well.
They dont mind getting up on Saturday mornings because they know they wont have to be on someone elses schedule again unless they choose to. They know that soon they can sleep whenever there isnt an opportunity for contributing to their life or someone elsesmonetary or otherwise.
They want to get started as early as possible this morning so they have the rest of the weekend to implement the plans and strategies laid out in this mornings meeting.
Why am I here?
Every conversation with the baggers at the grocery store, the bored cashiers at Target and Wal-Mart, not to mention every conversation with my own teens friends strengthen my resolve.
What have I resolved? To make sure that any teen, who wants to, can be financially free to pursue their education, dreams and goals without restraint, before they are overtaken with limiting beliefs and told “you cant do that†or “it wont work†one time too many.
Hey, maybe that will be my mission statement!
Why I chose your program?
I have studied and have most of the greats programs. Everyone elses is just one or a few pieces of the puzzle. Yours is the one that effectively puts it all together in a complete package. Not to mention your track record.
Why you should choose me as the winner?
I am going to be THE Thought Maven in my niche with OR without your program. I want to do it with your programit will save me soooo much time, money, energy and many other intangiblesbut I am going to do it either way.
I will use EVERY strategy, tactic and tool you offer to build a mentoring program that gets kids off to a spectacular start in life.
I will build wildly successful, contributory leaders who will blow their parents, teachers and bosses minds with their innovation, sound business decision making, undeniable success, and enviable ability to make money no matter what the “experts†say or the state of the economy or any other factor(s).
Do you want someone else being the backbone of a program that is sure to rock the generations? I didnt think so!
I look forward to sending you the video of me and my first protégés receiving your program!
Take care,
Margaret ChandlerP.S. Oh, by the way, your WIIFM (besides lots of good Karma)a whole new generation of clientscrediting you with their success, trained with your thinking and who know that you are the “go-to†man.

118 Comments to “Are You Our First Winner ?”
I’m the freshly turned 18 year old protege living in South Florida. In love with marketing and business, I’ve loved Internet Marketing since I first discover it through the Rich Jerk ebook and then went deeper through the Warrior forum and now I belong to quite a few marketing lists.
Speed reading – Constantly reading, a speed reading product could help me put a bigger dent into my serious book collection and marketing ebooks. I love reading and reading faster means I can get even more information.
Instincts – Since I’ve already read plenty and have great natural business instincts this tool would help bring out those good decisions that I’m sure are inside of me. I have great faith in myself, so a tool that would help me relay on those instincts would
Persuasion – Being a constant studier of the game I realize how important it is to have great Copywriting or Persuasion skills. I see it as the raw ability to sell, trivial online.
Focus – being 18 years old I’m affected as much by the Attention Age as anyone, being able to have solid focus would help me achieve the success I know I can. It’s one of the only things holding me back.
Brain and power studying- As mentioned I’m constantly reading and studying, being able to increase that ability would be amazing for me.
Product launch buzz – I planning my own product like any true Internet marketer so being able to generate great product launch buzz, especially if it was anything equivalent to the BAP or the Annihilation Method, would help put my product over the top. I remember you saying something along the lines of having a successful product launch buzz is the best way to truly sell your product.
P.S. Congratulations Margaret, I feel in the same boat as a lot of those teenagers.
Excited to see the BAP in my hands,
Sweeney
Copying it from word left some spaces, my bad.

Margaret -
Your cause is simply inspiring - and if no one else, I’m here to let you know
that it’s inspired me.
As a teenager myself, I’ve been at this too but to no avail from what I can
see. I’ve preached (forgive the word) that “anything is possible” to my fellow
younglings; but it has left little impact from what I can see.
They nod.
They agree.
…but nothing happens.
I become passionate whenever I start on the topic in a conversation and I feel
like I could be speaking on stage for everyone to hear - but one fundamental
flaw; I realized every all so fast that I felt I was already there - but I had
no significant result to show yet.
Sure, I made a small sum within two months - but that was probably not enough
to do what I tell them justice.
Teenagers nowadays are bombarded with massive amounts of “You can’t do it” - at
least within themselves.
Not everyone nods. Many argue and dismiss the possibility of success.
Perhaps it’s only here in this urban world where I live (where information
spreads fast), but it seems damage has been done, more than I expected; that
even teenagers who haven’t been through a fourth of the average lifespan are
already tainted by ‘just surviving’.
Margaret, I’d be more than glad to be one of your proteges. In fact, I’d love
to be the mascot - the representative of your group; to help inspire all the
teenagers around the world
..that age is not a factor… and even an advantage.
..that ANYTHING is possible.
..that they should at least try.
Make me accountable by all means.
I’m writing this in class at this very moment - yes, I’m in school and I detest
but 4 weeks to graduation and a good track record (3.5-3.7/4 GPA), I am going
to finish this.
A classmate just came by and spoke, and it got me thinking…
Teenagers are mostly living through life in a way where it seems they are only
preparing for the ‘inevitable’ 9 to 5 life with a job. They do nothing
significant, if any at all, to alter their future for the better.
It gets me feeling mad, for one reason or another.
Perhaps its because its the people that I’ve spoken to who nodded in agreement
- and the fact that nothing changed at all makes me feel that way.
This will be part of my agenda in the months to come.
Let us change the lives of many teenagers, whether we’ll be working in unison
or even if we go our seperate ways.
You deserve the package.
Regards,
Jeremy
P.S. I realized there was no way you could contact me except if I reveal my
e-mail address here.
I’ll get back to you when I get a temporary account just for public exposure
and I’ll give you my personal e-mail address using that account.
Oh, and congratulations again
This has got to be the most ridiculous email address but here it is:
jeremytomargaret [AT] gmail.com
And it seems my last message had a double spacing from copying and pasting it into notepad…
I’d re-post if it wouldn’t look spammy - perhaps I’ll just do it.
In any case, I hope to hear from you soon.
Jeremy
I can’t get over how perceptive this kid Jeremy is for his age.
You’ll make it kid, however you define “make it”. I can hear it loud and clear how strong your desire is. A tiger doesn’t have an off switch.
But here’s something to keep in mind from someone who had many of the same observations 7-8 years ago and struggled to understand how others couldn’t see what I saw or why they didn’t believe what I believed was possible:
Few will see or believe even when later they see what and who you become. The ones who do, though, and who ask for help…it’s your responsibility to help them.
The rest of them? Let them go…you will drive yourself crazy wanting better for others than they do for themselves.
Get out of the habit now.
You’ll be happy you did…
Hello Danny.
I am very, very … well, I don’t know the word to describe it but what you have done in the last blog post was just…
Well, thank you!
I hope my daring (at least I think it is) experiment there won’t cause Rich’s company anything - I’m not exactly sure of the implications of using their name but I’m going to try to get some -attention- there.
I went crazy on this one and I forgot to take my clothes back after coming back home from the gym just because I was too excited to execute it.
You made my day, and it probably led to what I just did on the other blog post in reply to your comment.
But…
only actions will speak louder - so I think the greatest thank you I can offer you is succeeding beyond anything - and you can feel proud that you were a part of it.
I would also like to address what you said about getting out of the habit -
I do not blame these others who simply don’t choose to listen genuinely or do anything about it. It is probably not their fault and I guess… that will be my feat - to change even these people.
It just means that now there’s an even greater goal to achieve.
Regards,
Jeremy
P.S. I am really, really afraid it may stir up some trouble with Rich’s company.
Everything but that thread is the truth.
I am leaking all the information out here as a precaution since it’d be better to allow SP to know the root of it all.
I’ve just reduced the effectiveness this way, so all I can hope for is for people who read that and don’t come here participate. But I’m also hesitating to post this because of the reason I mentioned above.
…instead of just saying, I decided to do something. I believe saying can be great, if the person is genuine. But action is still hardly beatable.
I guess there was one crucial point here - be genuine - and when you find your passion and drive, you create great content that impress and touch people.
Thank you Ron, Danny, Dianne and Sue from the bottom of my heart - I appreciate your comments and they have inspired me like nothing before. It’s rewarding enough to have all these - something I never expected from just participating. Or perhaps I did at the back of my mind. But I’m glad I did.
I guess the BAP will be a strong catalyst - but I believe it’s not a requirement. But I’ll never know whether it will make my attempt cross the fine line between success and failure - which determination and perseverance will still conquer.
All that has happened so far is simply inspiring.
To Rich: Permission to execute attention plan?
This comment is really in response to Danny’s message to Jeremy.
Danny,
I know what you mean about just letting go of the one’s who can’t see…you must have you heard the cliche, “don’t try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig”. I think that is what we are talking about here.
I get the impression you are probably only in your 20’s. I am mid forties and I still try to “teach the pigs to sing”. Every now and then one really does sing and it makes it worth it.
Thanks for the engaging dialogue.
M.
Danny,
I thought I’d tell you more to support your answer that it’s very hard to get these ‘pigs’ to sing -
Perhaps it’s simply my ability to argue well - but I’ve spoken to people and none have been able to get back because what I say just makes sense - and a lot of it. In fact, I would attribute it more to the fact that I have a very complete understanding all that is to do with how “everything is possible” - as I believe the only way I could have articulated it so well to so many people and the way it just flows out is only possible if that was the case.
I always leave with the impression that they are motivated. They all seem shocked when they hear it - and they all seem to be amazed at how true these facts are and that how they never realized these things earlier.
In fact - I may put the blame on other factors; more so than the fact that they don’t believe what I’m saying.
I think they might actually believe it. Many of whom I spoke with seemed to have grasped and believed what I said because it made perfect sense.
BUT…
From personal experience, I know there was a lot more than just realizing that you can do anything - you need the inspiration, motivation and the focus to actually do it. Many are probably chained to where they are, unable to move too much, if any at all - from the bad habits they have built up.
I believe this can be nurtured and developed, something that someone has already done. That person is Anthony Robbins.
It is probably more of a science than an art. Perhaps a mix - because I believe a mix always creates beautiful things.
So no, I won’t take it that these people won’t listen. I believe I have the power to make them believe - now it’s a matter of using science to create the action they need to break through.
I’ve actually made more believe than not. And those that do not - I justify it. It just happens - I am able to get past any doubts they have and create so much sense in my arguments they have no choice but to stop and think.
I believe I had been slowly losing ‘it’. I believe I was almost ready to stop telling people about it until I succeeded more - but when I think about it - I actually convinced so many and the problem isn’t that they don’t believe. They just can’t get out of the habits - and it is something I need to master, so I can pass it on.
Thank you. If not for this comment, I would not have realized so many things that I did while writing this post.
Jeremy
P.S. The BAP seems more significant that it was now - the lessons in Focus and everything about productivity is probably going to contribute a HUGE amount to this step on bringing them to be able to focus and take action on the dreams they now realize they can actually achieve. I’ve done the first part - now BAP will be a big piece of the second.
The third - Creating BIGGER success from the success that the second would already have created.
I am amazed by these concepts myself - even though I came up with them. I’m excited.
The fourth - Creating leaders from the successes that will create even more leaders.
The mighty fifth - The world is changed as the generation of leaders that rose from the ordinary inspire young and old alike - a chain effect that will create abundance in the world. It will break through the barriers of the 99% who do not succeed as each person witnesses someone they can relate to achieve beyond.
Yes. I have a gigantic vision.
…and I have a new idea, a new plan that will help others succeed - a system, a platform and a catalyst for success. What better than to gather the best minds around for others to see? - All in one place. That is all I will reveal.
Hey, Jeremy, check it out!
I quoted you in my blog post. I hope that’s okay with you. If not, let me know and I will take it down.
Don’t forget to sign up for the feeds so you will know right away about the program.
Take care,
M.
P.S. I’ll get that email in my contacts. Here’s mine fitmad@yahoo.com
Margaret,
No, I don’t allow it.
It’s outrageous.
You take my words and put it on your site - and you did it without asking first?!
Where are your ethics?
No just kidding.
In fact, I’m honored to have a part in your first online presence!
I’m going to send you an e-mail - and I’ll be asking questions. I already have plans on how this could work out even if we are ’separate’ entities. Social marketing does the trick - no, an older method; simple collaboration and endorsements.
Jeremy
P.S. I’m supposed to be a ‘techie’ but for one reason or another, RSS never got my attention - and I never used it.
Perhaps I should pick it up, but not at the moment.
I’ll wait until I get Rich’s BAP - where I’ll get the skills to be able to FOCUS even with the powerful distraction that is RSS.
I thought I’d take this chance to add another reason why the BAP will catalyze and speed up everything - and I made it bold to make sure it gets out.
Making sure you catch all the RSS updates within 5 minutes of publishing and STILL making more progress than if I didn’t pick up the skills from the BAP - priceless.
Yes, I’m going all out here -
Perhaps Rich wants me to generate more attention - I’ll keep that in mind.
Margaret, what would you say to a teenager who said this?
x said:
DDAMN U
x said:
ASSKHOEL
x said:
MAKE MONEY FOR ME NOW!
Sorry. I just had to post here.
I just got that.
He is one who knows that I’ve been making quite a sum (at least to teenagers).
I told him how he could make a nice hourly wage doing something - something I would recommend to him.
I’ve given him clients - my clients - and he stopped, saying that it got boring. Simple as that. He even told a lie to ‘disappear with reason’ because he simply felt like it was ‘giving pressure’.
No, it wasn’t that he did not like it. He liked to write (yes, it was ghostwriting). He said he liked it, but he just didn’t like the pressure of needing to give it to him in time. There was more than enough time - two days for a 700 word article?
That was his ONLY source of income, and something I told him he should treasure because my reputation was at stake. I was respected by the client, and he took my word.
Other than that, it’s all parents. And he comes from quite a wealthy family I imagine. He spends quite a lot - so much it’s mind blowing.
It feels so hopeless.
But…
I will push on.
Jeremy
I have been thinking.
…and I’ve come up with one solution thus far.
It may not be the best, but I believe maybe people with such a mindset will need to go through some pain before they get the drive.
I believe it is never their fault though. The upbringing and what they went through as they were growing up probably caused this - and I believe there is a way to change it.
I just could not get over this one.
I had to find an explanation.
Maybe one of you can shed light on this - and perhaps even how drive can be put into these people.
Call me overzealous, but I have this uncanny drive to help even those in that state; and I believe it’s possible if you know the cause, which I haven’t found.
I can’t seem to tell him:
“What’s the point in life when someone else is living for you?”
…because its only financial. He has places he wants to go to, things he wants to do - and I believe that’s living life. So, it’s not exactly someone else living life for him; just providing the finances (if he agrees).
Perhaps he needs to accept the fact that he needs to do something to get what he wants. I can only think of how he will get the drive - when he wants to get out of the pain that having a lack of finances will cause.
I’m still stumped.
Jeremy
P.S. Perhaps you’re right Danny. I just felt like it was going to drive me crazy - and I was ready to accept the fact that they will eventually need to help themselves when they realize no one else will. But I’ll still push on - and perhaps they will not even need to reach that miserable state to achieve something.
Too many people in the urban world live comfortable lives - and it just would not be very effective to wait for pain to drive them; something which may never happen.
Jeremy,
I have some thoughts about this to share, but I am takng care of my sister, who had spinal fusion thursday (yes, the day I won) and want to respond when I can do so uninterrupted.
I am looking forward to working with you!
Take care and hang in there!
M.
Hey Margaret,
I’ve sent you e-mails to no avail, so I’m using Rich’s blog (if you don’t mind Rich) as the platform on which to contact you.
Looking forward to hearing from you - and e-mails to fitmad[at]yahoo.com did not seem to get any response!
Hopefully it’s not too rough there for you; but I’ll be here anytime to receive you.
…and I’ll be here to give you assistance and support on building your business to become something that everyone will be proud of, and watch in awe as they witness the stories that we will create, and the impact on all the lives that we touch.
Jeremy
You Can Live Life with PASSION
P.S. I’ve gone through more realizations and I just came out thinking; no, it’s not anyone’s fault that they think that way.
We may not be able to help them more than they want to help themselves, but we certainly can make them want to help themselves more.
Talk soon.
Hey, Jeremy,
I must have set up that email wrong. I haven’t gotten any. I’m sorry I haven’t been available.
I’m glad you commented here. I’ll figure it out and get back to you.
Thanks and take care,
M.
Looking forward to communicating with you in more privacy.
..and don’t be sorry!
Jeremy
I have no commit at this time.
Congratulations Margaret!
Maybe this competition was the catalyst for you and Jeremy to meet each other….a great result for social marketing…. either way I’m genuinely happy for you both!
What a deserving winner you are Margaret and Jeremy your entry was one of the few that held my attention.
All the best to you both
And thank you Rich for creating the opportunity!

I think you are right. Follow our story and join in at http://www.fitmad.com
Take care,

Margaret, I am so happy for you, for the youth, for the planet…..Mahalo Nui Loa, (thank you from the deepest place in my heart/Hawaiian)…..blessings to you and your wonderful work/passion, my prayers are with you and the youth. Kay
Kay,
Thank you for the prayers and blessings. Everyone of us can always use more of those.
M.
I have to tell you that truly inspires me.
I truly believe deep down, that if every young person was brought up with that kind of training, and mindset, the world would truly be a better place…
That may sound cliche…but it comes from the bottom of my heart.
That girl is speaking from her soul and identifying what so many people have struggled with and got tangled up in through our society.
I was lucky because I came from a father who never worked for anyone in his life…so I followed suit, and have for the last 20 years…
It’s so refreshing to see teenagers getting that message loud and clear….and developing true entrepreneurs who can lead the next generation of wealth creators and leaders…
In my own businesses, I see it everyday too…people in their early twenties or even teens that take to this biz like a fish to water…
God bless you…and take that message and energy and run with it…create a community and be the leader that you already are…
Truly great stuff…and thanks Rich for helping people and providing the platform and resources…no BS approach to adding value and content to people’s lives…
all the best,
Scott

The Right Way to Preach the Gospel; Faith With Works and Prosper While Doing it.
Seattle, WA January 10, 2008. Give them more than hope, give them the things they need, with faith and love and the things they need in the here and now. Show them how to have “Life more abundantlyâ€. The Stone Soup Corporation of Seattle began in 1981 researching suppressed inventors, patents, processes and methods and they have found over Five Trillion Dollars worth in Public Domain to be shared reclaimed in the name of Christ.
You’ve heard of Mythbusters, the TV program where they test legends to see if they are true or not. The Stone Soup Corporation will take the Public Domain patents and “fly†them before they are built using CAD-CAM Apple/Mac cluster computers and either bust them or build them.
In one episode of Mythbusters they examine a battery used by a family in Babylon circa 600 BC then go on to hook it up with a replica of the Ark of the Covenant circa 1688 BC preceding the battery by 1088 years to give shocks and explain away the fact that the Ark of the Covenant of God is the Earth’s first Over Unity or Free Energy device producing 500-700 Volts of DC energy per vertical meter.
The Stone Soup Corporation team goes beyond Mythbusters and has found many new Free Energy devices some of which have been patented such as Yoshiro Namakatsu’s Enerex device which passed into Public Domain in May of 2007 and now it can be built. See it on the site.
Nakamatsu is called the Edison of Japan he has over 2,300 patents and 3,218 inventions to his credit including the floppy disk, the CD and the digital watch.
More than patents were found; the processes and methods for the fastest growing protein on earth; one pound in produces 1,000 pounds out in 72 hours, food for the millions. New desalination methods for freshwater along with the plan to build the plant and pipelines with a new inexhaustible construction material that gets stronger with use and which can be used for anything including affordable housing.
Little known land and desert reclamation methods along with the new construction material for desalination and delivery of fresh water along with other known land restoration methods can be a gift to our Moslem friends to ease tensions in the Middle East and help change opinions of Christians.
Affordable education will be made available using a work for shares program much like Habitat for Humanity.
Alternative energy and high mileage carburetors can also be built to alleviate gasoline and energy prices while helping the environment and global warming. It will be wonderful to help missionaries with new alternative electric generators, building materials and to teach not only the Gospel, which is well covered in the book, but also How-To gain financial independence.
“The wealth of the sinner is laid up in store for the just…â€
Tend the garden together, be faithful stewards of the environment and be ready for His return. The 252 page; The Stone Soup Proposal; The End Time Reversal of Wealth is a FREE at; http://www.stonesoupcorp.com or http://www.conspiracyexposed.com The CD is $11.95 plus S&H, from the site and the print version is $19.95 plus S&H at Amazon.com plus S&H and on the site. The download is FREE on the site. Interwoven through the text is a study on the words; “stone†and “rock†throughout the Scriptures.
On the first page of the site some of the secrets of the Ark are revealed with a color photo of Perry Stone standing by a replica of the Ark. Also shown on the first page is How-To get $168,000 to start a corporation and to network together in this employee owned corporation building and implementing these patents, process and methods with much more.
Ask and ye shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. Many more Over Unity, Free Energy or Zero-Point energy devices are shown in the book with two pages of URL’s to see hundreds of pages of proofs.
Two Arks have been discovered and where they are is revealed. The mysteries of Solomon and his son Melenik of the Queen of Sheba concerning the Ark are explained. Many secrets and mysteries are revealed including mathematical proof of The Holy Trinity in a 3D model of relativity at the point where matter becomes energy in the fourth dimension. The model “freeze frames” this transition in 1/720th of a degree of the whole model and new evidence of the shape of the universe is shown having the same 12 gates or doors on the outside and the 24 Elders can be “seen†in the model and much more.
This is for everyone, believers or non-believers because it is Public Domain. Two things are necessary; the desire to make the world a better place and to work for peace.
At the end of the day all the gifts provided from a Christian source will bring more people to a belief in Christ and God after seeing what is offered to the world as solutions to some very troublesome problems. The LORD has provided this work for such a time as this.
Since Oil has bought up 95% of solar and 90% of wind this allows them and other investors to purchase 48% of individual’s shares of their own “S†type corporations. The forms for incorporation are included as Part III of The Stone Soup Proposal. This will be allowing Big Oil a great turnaround of image and they can still have a non controlling interest in the fuel efficiency and other alternative energy devices that are being claimed while saving their reserves for the future. This allows more than prayer for our enemies, it engages them in peace.
Getting off the electrical grid where internet connections are made through the power outlet could greatly eliminate “hacking” and “back doors†with other safeguards in place by building many of these alternative energy devices and making money selling the excess power back to the electric companies by Federal mandate while answering our energy needs. Nakamatsu’s Enerex patent can be easily made. See site for details.
With a Mac/Apple cluster array and the basic research already complete these independent energy producers could greatly eliminate “hacking” and “back doors†with other safeguards in place. The Stone Soup Corporation can be real Mythbusters, mathematical proof of the God of the Bible is already here and better it is shown How To be true stewards and ambassadors of Christ.

How to win in this competition
Hi all,
It’s Jenny Richter again from Jerrys-ebooks. I submitted my entry to this competition yesterday.
If you want to win in this competition, keep reading.
I got to thinking…..Rich has asked us to tell him why we deserve a Free copy of his course.

Unaccustomed as I am to winning much of anything, it occurs to me that perhaps I would have a shot at this. Saving time and money would be a very big plus to my getting things off the ground so to speak. Here is my story.
In 2002 I bicycled 575 miles from Amsterdam to Paris to help raise funds to find a vaccine for AIDS. That was as much a pleasure trip as a fund raiser since my main loves in the world are traveling, photography and writing.
The following year, I moved back to So California as my Mother was in the hospital having her knee replaced, and Dad was not getting the treatment he needed for a broken back (since it was Mom’s turn in the hospital.) I became the full time on call 24/7 caretaker for them both. My Dad and I finally made peace after a year of him throwing me out of the house and my refusing to leave since Mother and he both needed me despite his insufferable manners and attitude.
Last year at Mother’s insistence that she was unwilling to watch Dad kill me (he would keep me up all night with calling me in to ask me if his feet were on the floor or on the bed… and other equally important issues.) ,l was forced to put Dad into a nursing home. This at least freed up some time to start looking into a way to make a living online.
This is also a critical need for me to be able to accomplish this as my life savings have now dwindled to nothing having been only able to work part time temporary at a tax office where they were exceptionally good about letting me go home to feed the folks etc.
Mother needs me to be at home so this tax season I will not be working for the tax office. Don’t get me wrong, I am not exactally stressing out over the need to make my way, just very very motivated and determined. Now, I have pretty much lost count of the systems I have tried, the programs I have bought and the websites I have put up, doing all the graphics etc from scratch in most cases. Self taught html only gets you so far, and most of the sites have not brought in enough to pay for the hosting.
In my care are also a deaf insulin dependant cat (who I just had to spend $400 on as he became ill recently and is Dad’s favorite cat) , 4 other cats, and a deaf dog that has started pulling up lame and requires accupuncture treatments on a regular basis now (at a tune of $100 a pop)
My brother came for his first visit to see his Dad this past Christmas in probably 30 years now, and he is in pretty bad shape himself physically and financially. If anyone needed a short cut to success, that would be me. I will make it with or without your program, but am sure it would be of immense help to me. (stands up and starts shouting “pick me” “pick me”
I have left off the fires, and the wind damage that caused me to have to replace most of the windows in the house (a debt I will be paying off for a couple of years if I don’t get a fast track going) and the other medical expenses like my having 3 cancer surgeries in a 3 month period then being unable to get the medications that are supposed to keep me from getting cancer again.. yada yada… as a Taoist I find it unhelpful to focus on that which has past that hopefully I learned whatever it was I was supposed to learn ..
I need to turn the trickle of money coming in to a flash flood. Your program just might do the trick, and if it did, then the value of a real internet marketing newbie might be of worth to you and others.
Maurine
Sounds like you have plenty of motivators–hope “this one” works!
You write:
“In my care are also a deaf insulin dependant cat (who I just had to spend $400 on as he became ill recently and is Dad’s favorite cat) , 4 other cats, and a deaf dog that has started pulling up lame and requires accupuncture treatments on a regular basis now (at a tune of $100 a pop)”
Sounds like you never grew up on a farm where “real” decisions have to be made daily about pets and animals! Any, and I say ANY, animal that costs more than the $8 it takes to painlessly put it down, has already outlived its usefulness–I cannot believe people can get so attached to animals that they waste such good money on a terribly ailing pet! Feed an orphan instead!!!
I don’t know where you live (or in what century) but having an animal put down around here costs anywhere from 35 to 50 bucks. The issue is not making a hard or what you call a “real” decision about a pet since I have had to make the call to put down several of my parents pets since starting to take care of them. There is a difference between us in point of view… these are my parents “family” and one would no more put them down if it can be avoided than we would put down a child for having a broken leg or disease. You view them as property, we do not. If an animal is suffering and we cannot ease that suffering, I do make the call to put them down. Their “usefulness” is in the companionship and comfort they bring that keeps the folks going every day.
Feed an orphan? You choose what charities you care to support, I will continue to chose charities to stop the clubbing of baby seals, the machine gun slaughter of wolves in Alaska and to stop global warming. As far as the human charities I support when I can are the American Indians and doing the best I can for my own parents.
Since I wrote the above, Boots, the cat in question, has gotten some worse and now gets infusions twice a day. It is likely I will be having him put down in 2 or 3 months which is the estimated time I figure he will last without suffering.
Perhaps I was wrong that I had any chance since it would appear that animals to the folks here are objects to be used not sentient feeling beings who deserve life and care as much as humans.
Fortunately, failure is not an option with me, and I will succeed with or without this program,it just won’t be a easy or as fast as I would like as I go deeper into debt each year to keep the roof over all our heads, food on the table, and the family values intact.
My first reply to your comment was made in anger. Something I usually try to avoid since sometimes the reasons we get angry have to do with our not facing something about ourselves that we need to.
After sleeping on it, I have seen a certain amount of wisdom to destroying animals who have “out lived” their usefulness. With that in mind I trust you will appear for the defense should I off (humanely and painlessly of course) my father who is far more ill than any of the animals.. having a dissected aorta which is inoperable. His mind is not what it used to be and he has trouble remembering much other than his favorite cat who he asks about pretty much on a daily basis. He has lost the ability to walk on his own although he can still feed himself. I am not sure I can find any life redeeming use for the old man so it stands to reason that he should be put down. (people are animals too in case you are feeling superior.)
Fortunately, Mom is still able to be of “use” since she can still quilt a little, not much but some, she is also quite ill but her mind is still sound so even if her production rate is falling off, she can still teach.
By your definition of “real” decisions, we could probably save the state a lot of money since we could put down all those who have disabilities or illness’ that keep them from being productive and contributing something useful to society. Now we come to the real problem, who is to decide who is of use and who is not? The criteria I suppose must include only farmers who for the most part have little “use” for those who toil with their minds rather than their hands. It is common knowledge that the intellegencia .. those who teach in institutes of higher learning live in their own world apart from the “productive” sectors of “real” life. (and what do we need great thinkers for? Don’t they all live in another world that is not weighed by their productivity of physical production? What use are they?)
Whoever it falls to, I hope you are put down with as much compassion as you seem to have for the other animals in the world when your turn comes.
Obviously I have little hope of any helping hand from people who only value human life and not all life… The animals were here before we were and we are in our greed destroying their habitats at an alarming rate, but then I suppose we are making better “use” of their natural resources by using them up than they are by using what they need to survive. So I thank you for making me realize it is as it has always been, up to me to create the income I need to support a family with growing need and dwindling resources.
I don’t know what I could say, other than I’m happy for Margaret.
That was truly inspiring… I only wish I had a teacher with her vision.
Please, let me know how it works out for you and the kids.
All my best,
David C Ballard
David,
Thank you.
Please join us at FITMAD.

Congrats, Margaret. It takes a lot of work, talent and caring to work with teenagers like that. A lot of people think teens today are hopeless and beyond redemption; I’m glad to see you’re not one of them.
If you’re interested in some inspiration for your teens, check out this story on Yahoo: http://potw.news.yahoo.com/s/potw/52250/teen-millionaire
A 17 year old girl is raking in $1 million a year in an online business. She’s established herself as a maven in her field (providing backgrounds, etc. for MySpace) and this video and article can only help her consolidate that status. Unless she really blows it with her marketing, that is.
I mean, think about it: how cool is it that the 17 year old girl is buying her *mom* a new house? That she’s *hired* her mom?
Joshua
Joshua,
Thanks for the link. This girl is the perfect example of the kinds of things I want for “my” kids. I want to mentor “Ashley Qualls” not “Brittany Spears”.
Back to your comment, I can’t really take credit for a lot of work. I just do it without thinking. I would have to work harder at not doing than at doing it. I am just so thankful to have a more formal way to go about it now.
Young people are and really always have been our “only hope”, not hopeless. Thankfully, there are a few of us who know that.
Take care,
M.
Congratulations Margareth..
See You At The Top..
Ham,
Glad you will be there, at the top. There is plenty room. Hopefully, there will be lots of us there.
Thanks!
M.
Congrats Margaret!
We’ve been trying to get our entry in for two days. Perhaps this time it will get through the gauntlet of mass postings.
Our Planned Voyage on the Good Ship BAP…
As you can tell from our blog http://BigDealFinder.blogspot.com and other related websites, we’re “selling” ahead with or without the Business Acceleration Program.
But I know our “selling” will be much more profitable and easier with BAP to help chart the course for our voyage in the coming years.
For instance, not only our web offerings can be improved, but also the lives of our 5 home-schooled pupils (perhaps also of the four that have preceded them) with the FasterAudio and AcceleReader software, not to forget the Speed Reading Mastery and Photographic Memory development and productivity segments of Rich Schefren’s and Patricia Hutchings’ video DVDs.
David Kolbe’s Sales and Profits DVD should help us fill the “sales” for a speedy and profitable journey, while Scott Martineau’s “Torrent of Money” DVD will certainly stock our hold full of tasty provisions for the long voyage ahead.
Les Hewitt’s “Power of Focus” DVD will be our space-age navigational equipment, while Janet Switzer’s “Profit Creation” secrets DVD will help us to unfurl the billowing “sales” and catch the profits tradewinds.
Tom McCarthy’s “Mental Diet” DVD will give us strengthening meat to bolster us for the work ahead, while Jeff Walker’s DVD will certainly go great with his Profit Launch Formula (which we already own), to give our “selling” vessel a good, strong rudder.
We’ll be all prepared for possible marauders, pirates and governors of foreign ports with Mary Ellen Tribby’s “Agora’s Secret Weapon” DVD, and the decks with be scrubbed and ready for action with Mike Filsaime’s “Viral Campaign” DVD.
Of course, the Master Maven Quick Reference Charts will become our reliable compass, and the 14 full-color Process Maps will be our treasure maps to untold, undiscovered riches.
Rich’s Strategic Profits 12-Month Marketing Blueprint, posters and personal productivity software will be our indispendible sextant and charting tools, to help us pinpoint our every planned maneuver, while the Mavenship Mentoring Live sessions will certainly give us the effective training we need to prepare for setting “sale” immediately.
The seven eye-opening Social Media Magic Webinar Series sessions will serve well as our vital communications equipment, and the two-hour Strength’s Mastery videos toward leveraging our natural talents to the hilt can only augment our selling vessel with all the rigging it needs for every eventuality or emergency.
Plus, who would think of starting out on such a journey without an experienced, qualified captain at the helm?
Our captain’s certification is clearly something the free subscription to Rich’s new Strategic Profits Insider newsletter will ably provide.
Clearly, Rich Schefren’s Business Acceleration Program is just what we’re looking for, to establish us as leaders in our new Internet Trading fleet, and will give us the proper flags to fly to gain us the notice, attention and recognition our fledgling operation needs,
For our new venture, the extra valuable bonuses from Jay Abraham, Frank “Mass Control” Kern, Michael Masterson and Clayton Makepeace are just the kind of passports and visas we’ll need to enter and do business in profitable ports.
As we “sale” into every harbor, the good ship Business Acceleration Program will make us confident that we now have the key contacts and resources we need to gain us the phenomenal success we seek in the days and year ahead.
All aboard!
Yippee! How cool to empower kids like that. Go get ‘em.
Wow I wondered who would take on the teenagers. Now About me:
My Name is Juanita and I live in Maine.Well I was born and Raised in Juneau, Alaska. I had a hard working hard boozing parting mother and a pedophile for a father. So I want to change the lifes of the 3 4 and 5 6 and 7 year olds. I am on a Journey of Inner Healing and Discovery. I Have a purpose to Build Camps for kids who have been traumatized and abandoned. This will be a paradise Kids will play with llamas, sheep, horses, And Teachers will come in and Train them to be conquerers. Because life is tough and you need to know deep inside there is a world of people who care and have rose above their circumstance. This is my purpose how I am going to do it I do not know all I know is I have spent over 50,000 on every home based business. And other business promising me this is the one and do not miss out. I have gone to many Speaker. Only to have my dreams dashed and now to the point were my home is on the line. But I will not give up I am a dreamrescuer and I will do it. http://www.juanitawaterman.com my skype is juanita.waterman My Phone is 207 592 5524
What a great concept! Glad you are a winner. I often think how important it is to train the youth in the ways of the NEW economy! Things have changed so drastically, and if we JUST present college… what a waste of potential.
Keep us all posted.
David,
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Thanks for the congrats,
M.
Hi Margareth
Congrat Sis!
I do believe the packages Rich going to give you will empower you and your gals in internet marketing world.
Study the packages, contemplate and then implemented them according to your strengths and preferences.
That’s way will make your presence AWESOME
And, don’t forget, let us know when you hit the Big Day!
Sudarmaji,
My big day will be the graduation of the first group of protege’s. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.
Blessings,
M.
After reading the contest winner’s submission I agree with you
100%. Nobody could top that! Congratulations to you too for what you are doing. Maybe I can follow her lead and do the same thing in my community. I will definitely get me a copy of your program. I remember doing keyword research and about making money and came across a kid’s lament: “We kids need to earn money too, do you have anything for us kids..please!”
George,
I am planning online and offline programs. Maybe you will want to implement one in your community.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
M.
Congratulations Margaret…that gave me goosebumps to read.
What an exciting adventure you have found! I’d like to offer my services to you also (gratis) as you need it and see fit. You can get all my details at my website, just click on my name and I’ll be looking forward to hearing from you.
Great 1st choice Rich…I haven’t had a chance to read all the entries…but got goosebumps reading that one!
Cheryl Gonzalez

Cheryl,
It gave me goosebumps to write it. I have been talking to kids trying to engage them but didn’t have a plan. When I started writing, I knew I would win and that I was definitely on purpose.
It has to involve all those called to the cause. Even if I could do it all myself, that’s not the way it is supposed to be done. I will check your site, but please join us our list, too.
Looking forward to sharing the adventure with you.

Hi Rich
I am an example of “The Great American Dream”. I was raised by goodly parents, honest, hard working with the standard ethic of the day, namely, “work hard, get as good an education as you possibly can, go to work for a solid company and you will be set”. Let me briefly tell my story. My family was also average in that, if I wanted an education past high school, it would be up to me to work my way through. Bored with what was being taught in high school (the american ethic above), I left in my senior year and joined the military. I spent almost 8 years of my life “serving” my country. The training I received became the basis of my career and I can’t complain about the wages as all of my younger life I earned a higher than average wage. During this time I went back to school for four years attempting to gain my degree, working full time, going to school full time and trying to raise a family. The university, so caring of its students, managed to put that goal out of reach by such tactics as offering two required courses in the exact same time slot only once every four years so that it would take 4 years to complete just those two courses. Also, my major was chemistry, but the labs were only open at times when I couldn’t attend because of work schedule. You don’t have enough room for me to list the other hindrances, such as professors failing to turn in withdrawal slips so that the grade became an F. Hindered as I was, I managed to complete everything up to the required labs and the two course mentioned above before fatigue and a work schedule change caused me quit.
Then at age 53, the underpinnings of life as I knew it fell out. I underwent surgery, anothr lie, for five by-passes. As I was recoverying from this surgery, I discovered that a medicine I had been given had caused severe osteoporosis and I began spontaneously breaking bones, fracturing first my pelvis in approximately 8 places and then several ribs before it was stopped. Adding insult to injury, the insurance through the company for which I worked, the one that “covered 80% of everything” refused to pay over $40,000 of doctor bills, bills that had to be put on credit cards because when you don’t work you don’t get paid.
My company was so greatful for my services that my supervisor decided he could make a name for himself by cutting my salary by over half for the two years I was allowed to work before being “laid off”. After another two years of trying to find another job, even with my health going down hill, I applied for disability. Almost a year later my disability was granted. I am now left trying to to pay off the credit card debt from a social security disability pay that hardly pays the rent and food. I am lucky though in that I qualify for VA medical coverage but only partially. While in the military I was exposed to a nasty chemical that is slowly destroying my nervous system but the military won’t acknowledge that exposure so it and the resulting debility aren’t covered. I have no medical coverage for my wife, who is also disabled through several falls. We fall just outside of the limits for every program that might assist us. Since I earned a higher salary, my social security is slightly (a couple hundred dollars) too high to allow assistance, since all they look at is your income. No consideration is given to things like the $40,000 of credit card debt that I have been able to only pay the minimum on so it comes down a few pennies a month.
Rich, I wrote this not as a plea for one of your packages but as a warning to the young people who may be reading this. It shows what can happen if you rely on the “Great American Ethic”, and I assure you I have not exagerated. You can work as hard as you want to. You can go with what you consider to be a strong company. But I can guarantee you, unless you gain the knowledge of how to take care of your self and your finances, knowledge I was never taught, not by my parents because they didn’t know and not in any of the over 120 hours of college course I took, you could end up in the same situation that I find myself in. The government, including social security and such organizations as the VA couldn’t care less. Since you are no longer paying in, they have no interest in you.
I greatly applaude Margareth and her work. I am thrilled you awarded her the first package. It will be put to a better use than anything else I can think of, helping our next generation.
I am trying to put something together on the internet that might help me but due to my health I can work only occasionally. So I haven’t made much headway.
I would love to be involved with eager young people as Margareth is. I envy her in a way as that was my goal, to be able to teach. Go get ‘em Margareth. You rock!
Thanks Rich for the space to tell my story.
Ken
Ken,
We all need to tell our story.
Remember, it’s never too late. Join us!
Margaret
Hi Rich and team,
I applaud Margaret and I’m inspired by her mission. What a great choice you’ve made!
My own appears a lot more humble and a lot less vital but is no less impactful. I believe that the world can be changed through some surprising avenues – let me show you how.
Mine is a mission to empower women through something that, on its surface, seems very frivolous: a campaign for real beauty. But put yourself in women’s shoes for a moment (no, figuratively!) and consider how much her appearance impacts on a woman’s self-esteem, and thus her impact on the world.
There are not enough Anita Roddicks, not enough Hillary Clintons, not enough Mother Teresas and not enough Oprahs in the world. Why is that? Why are successful women still so rare?
In the developed world there are a huge majority of women who are unhappy with themselves. A lot of this, as strange as it sounds but as you may know from your sisters, daughters and wives, comes from a skewed standard of how one should look.
Furthermore, the people creating that look are a huge swathe of the women and children of the developing world, who toil in seldom-reported, inhuman conditions to provide us with cheap clothing that speaks to few but the size zero.
Trust me on this: mine is the shoulder that my size 26 fiancee cries on in the department store fitting room. As a gay woman, I have a rare insight into how damaging, how wrong and yet how convincing most women’s self-images are to themselves.
I’m just a dressmaker; I didn’t set out to have a mission, but I’m living proof that the humblest skills and interests can produce a maven and a world-changer.
It began with custom-making wedding gowns for plus size and pregnant brides, helping them to feel beautiful, valued and included when they brought me stories of being sneered at or turned away from bridal stores. I circumvented fashion’s vice-like grip by opening up to them the history of fashion in which the hourglass figure was valued. I helped them find a magnificent historical style of their own. They were able to reject fashion’s surreptitious abuse and grow from feeling ashamed to exclaiming “Ohmigod I feel like a queen!â€
What can a woman achieve when she has self-esteem? Answer: she can change the world!
I got online and found that many, many women across the world adored my work and needed what I had; I cannot sew for them all, and some of the women who needed me most could not afford custom made clothing. But they picked up a needle and thread because of me, so determined were they to find a little of that magic for themselves.
Here’s where you come in, Rich.
I’m building a reputation online already as a maven in the field of clothing oneself for success. Not with shoulder pads or by taking on pseudo-masculine roles (what does that say about the value of women?), but with one’s own wits and a vast buffet of historical fashion to choose from. Women are joining my site to come together and create an image of themselves that they love, whether that involves fun with bustles or breeches. On one level I’m “only†teaching people to sew – but can you see how much more they’re learning? They’re empowering themselves to reject what the world tries to impose on them and take their self-image, and their future, into their own hands.
So I’m taking care of the women of the developed world… and through them, those other women will benefit… the resulting wealth can go to the Third World to stamp out the image I can’t get out of my head when I’m at my sewing machine – the image of women in Indonesia, China, the Phillippines, sewing for 20 hours per day, sleeping with heads on their machines in return for a few pennies and a sound beating.
I’ve been developing myself to take this on: most notably, I’ve walked on fire twice with someone you know. But it’s about more than simple empowerment. Now, with your program, I have access to the tools I need to give women in the First and Third worlds the future they deserve.
Rich, it takes some serious speed reading to be a maven on the last 500 years of the history of dress, from Henry VIII to Elizabeth II. To take that source material, know it, turn it over in one’s mind, to mix and match that with modern fabrics and methods? It’s overwhelming!
More importantly, I’ve no doubt that your program can help me to focus this artist’s mind into laser concentration on my outcomes – and in short, to install some new software so that an artist and a teacher can become a mover and a shaker.
Will you help me to raise up the women of these two worlds?
Cathy,
I’m glad somebody is developing role models…we need them.
Good luck,
M.
Congratulations Margaret!
Your vision is so close to mine….
Not only for my daughter who is now 10 years old, but for at least 5 teenagers who I’ve been involved with helping in this past year….
I think it’s time for a little more light to be shed on the aims
of the business I am building - and will do with or without your program Rich!….
I live in South Africa. In Durban to be precise. The woman who comes in to clean my home twice a week lived in a shanty town not ten minutes away for about 13 years. Since then, she and her family have been moved to what was known as a “RDP - Reconstruction and Development Program” home in the last few months of last year. These are 1-roomed houses, with bathroom and kitchen ultra-basics, all crammed into an area the size of a football park.
In this one home, are husband, wife, 3 children under the age of 10 years and one 19 year old. The 19 year old we endeavoured to help earlier this year. She came to live in our cottage for 3 months. There are thousands like her, who have no jobs, who due to their poverty stricken circumstances cannot escape a future without much hope…..
These teens and young adults have tons of energy - misdirected - they become vagrants, drug-addicts, criminal…
Very few of them receive what they need…. or have any hope of ever getting it.
I am building my business…
… so that I may set up a secured centre right in the middle of their home area…..
… so that the skills I learn and pass on to these teens enable
them to uplift not only themselves….
but also their environments…
this is my main reason for wanting your program, Rich!
But with, or without you……..
I will endeavour…..
There are many obstacles I cannot even begin to describe
here…..
but sleepless nights are at a record-breaking point with me!
Thanks again,
And I really hope you do pick me…. us…… this endeavour to give those out there a new community to build their lives upon.
Many thanks again,
Amanda Risi
Congratz Margaret!
Sounds like you run something similar to Junior Achievement Program?
Rich: I had my entry comment in the first posting, did I get it wrong that I should post a competition entry comment here as well? Or?
And having programs to inspire to entrepreneurship is great. I have been attending and getting support earlier by a Swedish program for undergraduate and graduate students called “Drivhuset” - the Green House. Seed your plant, let it grow! And I also participated in SIFE Sweden first year running 2004 - and we won the Swedish contest ;). Two of our programs with the affiliation of our winning contribution in Uganda focused these kinds of Junior Achievement - primary school students in Masaka district (P6 and P7 students) and street kids in Kampala getting back to school and also having some business curricula.
So I know the value of these entrepreneurial stimulation and inspiration programs! Great service for the youth - and the world! Not to mention Muhammad Yunus and the iconization he did for micro credit - my premier role model for the concept of sustainopreneurship!
If it is THE optimal way to accellerate everyone’s business - I would have to make a bulk order for some thousands to spread around our startup centers for sustainopreneurship globally the coming years… ;).
For the rest, I refer to my original posting :).
Peace,
Anders
I couldn’t agree more. Your post was certainly mind blowing and very inspiring.
Congratulations Margaret!!!
and to Rich and his team,… Your pick was certainly the best. Margaret truly deserves it. I’ve actually spent time reading through ALL…, yes you read that right, ALL the comments and she tops the chart.
Once again congrats to you Mag.
See you at the next Maven’s conference.
I can’t wait to hear your success stories.
See you at the Maven’s Conference!
