Are You Ready for This?

Is working from home earning a Six figure income what you want?
Are you ready for this?
Are you serious about this?

If your answer is yes to the above, I have a crucial question to ask you.

What price are you prepared to pay for this?

Not every business is for everyone. You have to be honest with yourself and if you make the commitment you must remember a few things:

You must finish what you start, that you and you alone are responsible for your own success. There are no free lunches, only free opportunities for you to explore.

You must be willing to change yourself first and then only can you start influencing those around you.

You cannot give in to failure because it’s not an option. Yes, you will have difficulties and obstacles to deal with. But again I ask you the serious question, what price are you willing to pay for what you want?

However you can only succeed if you make a commitment to yourself with affirmation. If you do not, you will fail. That is the reality of success.

So, are you ready?

A Gift for You

HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE.

Say “Let it be” with affirmation and you shall be blessed.

The problem with many of us is that we don't believe that THE ALMIGHTY will open a window and pour out so much of His blessings that we won't have room enough to receive them. I dare anyone to try Him. He is true to His word. He cannot lie and His promises are sure.

HAVE FAITH AND BELIEVE and …..

You will find favour with someone you don't expect;
You will be too relevant to be ignored;
You will encounter the ultimate power of faith and you will never remain the same again.

My prayer for you today

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil,

The hands of the one that reads this prayer and share it with others shall not labor in vain,


The mouth saying “Truly” with affirmation to this prayer shall laugh forever.


Remain in His love as you read this prayer to yourself and everybody around you.


Trust in Your Maker with all your heart and He will never fail you because He is AWESOME!

Because you are unique

and your Creator's masterpiece designed for greatness.

Have a lovely journey of life!

Living and The Meaning of Life..

Why are we here? What is the nature of reality? What is the value of life? The meaning of life is a philosophical concept about the purpose and significance of human existence.

Life's progression from birth to death is not a mere succession of moments. Real life refers to life in the real world. "Real life" can be a controversial term, as it can serve as value judgement to describe "productive" activities, like work and the support of one's family, in contrast to "unproductive" leisure activities.

Personal life (or everyday life or human existence) is the course of an individuals life. Personal values evolve from circumstances that can change over time and are implicitly related to choice. Today, many people have come to think of their personal lives as separate from their work. Work and recreation are distinct. One is either at work working or not, and the transition is abrupt. Employees have certain hours they are bound to work, and work during recreational time is rare. This may be related to work choices, regulations and the demand for increased efficiency, both at work and at home. The common phrase "Work hard, play hard" illustrates this mindset. There is a growing trend, however, toward living more holistically and minimizing such rigid distinctions between work and play. The accumulation of knowledge and "Webucation" lends itself to this growing trend and need for change.




A person with experience in "real life" or "the real world" has experience and an identifiable purpose. Purpose is the cognitive awareness in cause and effect linking for achieving a goal in a given system. Purpose is central to a good human life. Pursuing a career, raising a family, creative vocation and seeking financial stability to have a soft place to fall during tough and trying times. These are all long terms of purpose for some and just dealing with everyday living for others.

5 Steps to a Wealthy Piece of Mind


Your Passport to Prosperity a key component of personal finance is financial planning, a dynamic process that requires regular monitoring and re-evaluation.

In order to achieve ones financial goal of secure sustainable wealth, think about doing the following:

  1. Review and assess your financial standing by compiling a list of personal assets, income and expenses.
  2. Have a written plan mapping out one or more of your long and short term financial goals.
  3. Next you have to create a plan that details how to accomplish your financial goals.
  4. Then you have to create a convergence of all this information and execute your plan.
  5. Finally as time passes your financial plan must be monitored for possible adjustments or reassessments

WEALTH

“So what is Wealth really”?

"Wealth”, simply put, is that which satisfies our needs and wants of utility as human beings. "Wealth" can also be described as an abundance of items of economic value, usually in the form of money, real estate and personal property.
An individual who is considered wealthy, affluent, or rich is someone who has accumulated substantial wealth relative to others in their society.

Wealth can be categorized into three principal categories personal property, or monetary savings, and the capital wealth of income producing assets.

Wealth provides a type of safety net of protection against an unforeseen decline in one’s living standard in the event of job loss.
The opposite of wealth is destitution. The opposite of richness is poverty.

A personal net worth of AU$10,000 in most parts of the Australia would certainly not place a person among the wealthiest citizens of that locale. However, such an amount would constitute an extraordinary amount of wealth in impoverished developing countries.

Those with wealth are trained and conditioned, technically and philosophically, to handle the wealth that they will control and how to earn more. Wealth and being a member of the upper class requires significant prior preparation and familiarisation. They use the power and freedom that comes with wealth to leverage opportunities.

Would it then be prudent to conclude, this allows them more flexibility in their lives and as a result they have fewer worries?

The accumulation of wealth fosters a growth of power, which in turn creates privileges conducive to more wealth.
There is a distinct difference in views about wealth among the classes. Where the upper class beliefs focus on wealth, the middle class places a greater emphasis on income. Typically the middle class consists of individuals that were raised with families that typically owned their own home, planned ahead and stressed the importance of education and achievement. They earn a significant amount of income and also have significant amounts of consumption.

However there is very limited savings or investments, besides retirement pensions and homeownership. This form of structured wealth accumulation is necessary. Without this structure, accumulation would likely not occur in ordinary circumstances.

The working class has fewer options for advancement and wealth accumulation than the upper and middle classes due to limited income, unstable employment and an insignificant retirement funds. Consequently, there is a limited financial cushion available in times of hardship.

The middle class views wealth as something for tougher times ahead and more of a cushion against such unforseen circumstances arising.

However would sustainable wealth be a measure for a Wealthy Piece of Mind? Could this type of wealth be what sustains you when you are not working or is your net worth, not income, important when you retire or are unable to work.

The key question is how long would a certain wealth last?

So What is this "Webucation" all about?

The method of delivering education strategies via streaming audio and video over the Internet. Online Education, or “Webucation”, allows you to earn money while you learn, through business systems or referral programs.

You learn about personal development education, as well as the tools, strategies and plans for effective business building. This method also exposes the latest trends, news and plans to focus on Internet Marketing techniques for building your business.

Webucation provides an opportunity for people interested in operating their own business to learn more about the home business opportunity offered by a distribution company, and to find out what real people are actually saying about the program.

By simply sharing this technology of the Learn & Earn Referral Program with others, you have the ability to earn large up-front weekly income, as well as possible long-term residual income that can pay you month after month, year after year.

Traditional education, by itself, is inadequate to make people successful and competitive in the 21st century.

Ordinary people, from Graduates to single moms, earn extraordinary incomes, some on a pace to earn in excess of $100,000 in just 12 months!

By delivering cutting edge educational products via the Internet, my business creates a convergence of two very powerful industries. The Internet and Education (Webucation).
