Marlon, what is the main purpose of Gimme My Money Now?

I wrote it as a follow up to The Amazing Formula That Sells Products Like Crazy.

The Amazing Formula covers a number of marketing methods. It also doesn’t cover product creation with much deth. I found that I was explaining to my closest friends exactly how to make money online in the same way over and over again.

So I decided to create a product that gave just one formula step-by-step that really works.

What is the main benefit of the Gimme System?

The product is all about action. It’s only 50 pages. That is because it’s an action plan. That’s all it is. If you want to learn marketing strategy, buy The Amazing Formula. But if all you want is to take immediate action and make money, that’s the purpose of Gimme.

Finding your life purpose can be a most difficult task.

You have to dig through so many layers of emotions. There are layers of experiences, failures and rejections that will make it difficult for you to work out what your life purpose is. It might take hard work exploring your subconscious and many attempts. But the payoff could be a wonderful change to your life.

You will wonder how to find it. It’s been passing you by for many many years. What will enable you to find it now? Some effort will be required, that’s for sure, but above all else you will need to stop being afraid.

One of the most common thoughts that will crop up as you try and find your own purpose is the statement that you can’t do it. You can’t leave your job, you can’t go back to school and study again, you can’t leave the life you are living right now.

That is a perfectly normal way to think. Your life is a series of instances where you have to weigh your options. You have to decide many times whether you should take the safe route or whether you should put yourself at risk.

As a young person you are more inclined to take a risk. Leaving home to go to college in another State seems exciting. It involves stepping out of your comfort zone as you have to leave your support system behind. It’s an adventure though when you are young.

It is not as easy to do as you grow older. Everything you surround yourself with is important in that it makes you feel secure and safe. You have the same friends, you take the same route to work, you spend your evenings at the pub down the road, you go on holiday to the same seaside resort.

Yet this very sameness lulls you into a false sense of security and seduces you into thinking that this is the ideal life. It therefore surprises you when you feel a sense of dissatisfaction within. Where did that come from you wonder? After all you are so lucky to have this wonderful life especially in comparison to how many people have to live.

This way of cocooning yourself is what makes it so difficult to work out what your life purpose is. You know instinctively that whatever it is, will require you to change if you want to follow your purpose. Things will not be the same again.

From a young age society has conditioned you to take the safe route. Go to school, do well so that you can go to college, get a safe degree so you can be an accountant, lawyer, doctor or teacher and find a stable job because this will take care of you for the rest of your life.

The thought of leaving this comfort zone behind and trying to establish what you really would like to do is very frightening.  Finding the courage to explore what your life purpose is could be is the first step towards finding your passion for life.

Finding your life purpose may not be easy but…

You have probably read or heard about various myths (these are the truths that are valid only for certain cases, but not in general) surrounding wealth and wealthy people, all of which hinder your quest for financial independence. Here are the most common and most destructive:

Myth No. 1: How much you earn depends on how hard you work

If this were true, then the physical, blue-collar workers, who have been working hard for years, would have been the wealthiest people on earth. Of course, this isn’t true. They form most of the workforce and the vast majority of the middle-class.

If you witnessed your parents coming home tired from a long day’s work in your youth, you probably learned that money wasn’t a sufficient reward for all that effort. People who work “just” for the money often have debts because they comfort themselves with whatever they can buy, beautiful things they lack when working.

Myth No. 2: Being paid for something you enjoy isn’t work and you shouldn’t ask for money for doing something that is enjoyable.

Check this with millionaires. They all have so much money that they don’t need to work anymore. Nevertheless, they work for other reasons, challenge, satisfaction, fullness of life, activity, fun … and all are connected to a love for their work. If there was no joy in doing a certain task, they would do something else that would make them much happier and that enables them to realize their dreams.

In fact, if you don’t enjoy your work, you will never become wealthy doing it! However, just because you enjoy your work doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get paid for it – in fact, that is the ultimate goal, to get paid for what you already enjoy so it never feels like you are at work!

Myth No. 3: You need to be in the right line of business to amass wealth

Do you think so? This must mean that all the people who are involved in the same business are millionaires. Of course, this isn’t true. In each business there are winners and losers; winners abound, even in businesses that consist of distasteful (to most) or “impossible” work like sweeping the streets, collecting the trash, working in a factory, pumping gas, selling newspapers, etc. On the other hand, there are just as many “losers” in businesses like selling real estate, management or being a stockbroker.

Myth No. 4: You need the right education to make a fortune

Are the most educated people really the wealthiest? Not at all! In this case, university professors would be the wealthiest people on earth. Ask them about their salaries, if you get the opportunity. The truth is vastly different – the wealthiest people are those who can convert their knowledge (or education) into money, in the best possible way. They can be highly educated people (like inventors, scientists, etc.) or almost ignorant.

Being formally uneducated does not equate to poor performance on the job or the inability to form a strong enough vision to carry a person to success – they can easily be experts without having a formal education.

Myth No. 5: It used to be easier

Statistics show an increase in the number of millionaires in the world every year. Talking about the “good old times” only offers comfort and a convenient excuse. If you look around, you’ll see there are people who behaved the same way in the “good old times” as they do now, yet their success has been recent. With technology and progress come new ideas, desires and needs and there are more business opportunities appearing daily to serve them.

Myth No. 6: I’m too old (young)

If you research the life stories of some of the most successful people, you’ll see that this isn’t true at all. Some became wealthy early in their lives (perhaps from the stock market), while others found their fortune in their old age. Ray Kroc, was more than fifty years old when he bought and made the first McDonald’s.

Myth No. 7: I don’t have enough money to start. You have to spend money to make money.

This is no different from any other excuse or “myth.” Like the others, it’s obvious this one isn’t true either. Many have made their fortunes starting from scratch, living in an apartment or working out of their garage and yet, they developed business empires that are worth billions of dollars today. The other elements of success are far more important than having seed money to start a business.

But yes, often money helps and it certainly doesn’t hurt. Like everything else discussed in other myths: it probably helps, but it is not always necessary.

Myth No. 8: I’ll begin when I know everything

Do you believe that you will know everything someday? Or even that you’ll know enough to ever be “really prepared now?” The more you learn, the more you see what you still need to learn. Success and obtaining wealth is a dynamic process. Even if you “could” come out of the gate knowing everything there is to know, some of those elements will change immediately and many will change rapidly. If you don’t decide now, nothing will happen. Live and learn.

Some millionaires have even allowed themselves to go bankrupt and then (even faster) recreated their wealth, sometimes even greater than before. Money itself isn’t the obstacle that is keeping you from being wealthy. If you’re really good in your business, don’t worry, because someone that will offer you money (a bank or business partner) will appear who will appreciate your talent knowing you are a very good investment opportunity. But you can’t sit around waiting for this – make it happen.

Exercise “taking action” as much as you can. Make your workplace better or more efficient. After all, even if someone else signs your paycheck, you really work for you. Even if you are an employee in a large corporation – it isn’t your corporation – but it is the only corporation through which you can prove what you are capable of right now.

All of us have what it takes to become a millionaire! Born winners, yet few of us know how to take advantage of and cultivate the possibilities hidden inside our own mind!

No one can ever grant you greater potential than your heart already holds…you need only discover its contents to find the one true path to your success in life. Born with the seeds to our success, the greatest decisions must always come from the inside! You will discover a new, deep well of fortune – yourself!

What does it mean to be “On Purpose”?

Let’s try some questions. If you answer no to any one, or possibly even all of these questions you might not be living according to your life purpose.

This one is an easy one. Do you wake up in the morning excited to start the day, every day, not just weekends or on your days off?

How about this one. Do you love your work and is it a career for you or a burden?

Do you often read a book or article online because it is interesting and will enrich your life and could possibly increase your knowledge for your work?

Here are a few that you might want to answer yes to and if you so might just realize you are not on purpose.

Do you often find yourself eating because it makes you feel good, and it helps you cope better with the day?

Are you constantly looking to make more money so that you can do something else, although you have no idea what you might want to do?

How do you answer to this one.  Are you and your credit card best buddies? Do you binge shop regularly and have a cupboard full of clothes which you have only worn once, if at all?

Do you long to go on a romantic cruise because it could let you meet up with the man or woman of your dreams?

You’re in a loving relationship but you like to look at good looking people because there’s no harm in having some fantasies?

When you go on vacation to another city, and especially if traveling outside your country, do you wish you could live there because you imagine things would be so much more exciting, or settled, or interesting, or lucrative?

You would love to buy a new car because you know it will make you feel great to be able to show off to other people that you’ve made it.

You live in the wrong suburb. If you could move to the one on the other side of the city it would be so much nicer. And the houses are much bigger.

So how did it go with all of these questions?

Remember none of the answers to the questions above show that you are doing anything wrong. That’s not the point of the exercise. It was just for you to reflect on whether there are things you might be doing on a daily basis that make you feel better about yourself because you are not doing what makes you happy.

In other words you are not living on purpose.

Do you have the courage to find your Personal Life Purpose?

Many self-help books encourage you to work out what your life purpose statement is. But if you are like most of the people who are trying to work out their life purpose, you will be stuck for words and ideas.

What blocks you from being able to work out what you really want to do?

Why does your life purpose escape you?

Where have all your dreams and passions gone?

These questions are very difficult to answer. You will find that digging deep into yourself to try and work out why you a missing the spark and how to rekindle it again is almost impossible.

What it requires to find your personal life purpose is to scratch your way through all of the layers of pre-conditioning you have acquired through many years to see what is going on inside of you.

Many people live their lives just making do, never finding that passion. With this comes a constant sense of dissatisfaction or discontent. You always feel as if you are missing out on something, that life is drifting past without having achieved anything.

That feeling stems from inside of you where your inner self keeps on saying that what you are doing is not what your life purpose is. Many people never find it and spend their life with a nagging feeling that they are missing something.

Most often people who have this sense of missing something spend their time trying to fill that void with other things. You have probably experienced this yourself. You spend your money on buying new clothes, cars or homes in the hope that it will make you feel good.

It does feel good to drive that new car or move into a lovely home, but the happy feeling is always short lived. It never lasts because it doesn’t address the underlying feelings of unease that you have.

You might find yourself drifting from one relationship to another, hoping to discover in the new partnership a feeling of completeness that you know is out there somewhere but that you are just not able to find.

If all those lovely new things don’t make you happy for long and your relationships are not fulfilling you perhaps it’s time to start thinking about what your life purpose statement is. Finding that and aligning yourself to this purpose could be what you have been looking for for so long.

You would not be the only one looking for this answer. In recent years the number of best-selling books that deal with self-help and personal growth issues have grown into an avalanche. The popularity of the “The Secret” video stunned even the people who produced it.

It seems that people are waking up to the fact that they are not following their life purpose and in fact have no idea what that could be. Many people end up thinking that the problem is that they are not good enough, that they need to improve themselves.

They think that if they work hard enough on the self-improvement angle then they will feel better about themselves and the lives they lead. Is that the answer? Surely not. 

The self-improvement work is just another misleading direction to take. Finding the life purpose and following it is a better way of finding that inner happiness and contentment.

How do you know if you are not “On Purpose”?
