If you have a pulse and a place to live you can

qualify for business credit. When you break it down those are the two basic requiremnts to obtaining $10,000's in credit from businesses. You will have to file an LLC or corporation and build the foundation for a business structure but after that you can use your house, apartment, trailer, etc. to operate your business address. It is called a home business. You cannot use post office boxes or anything similar to that to start your corporation for credit purposes.

After you have done the basics there are many large businesses including gas companies and large chain stores, and department stores that will give you large amounts of credit with a signature and no credit checks. Some will want you to have an account with other companies first. Others will only require that you are in business. That is where I come in to help you put the pieces of the puzzle in place.

My e-book gives you all the information you need to get started and to get credit. You get access to massive amounts of credit for just a $49.95 investment in yourself.

When applying for EIN/Tax ID # from the IRS

and you have chosen a Limited Liability Company (LLC) always choose a corporate EIN (Employer Identification Number) or Tax ID Number (TIN). Tax ID Numbers and EIN's are the same thing.

An LLC is a type of corporate structure. This is straight from my business attorney. When you are applying for your EIN you have the choice of: sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation. LLC is not listed on the application. I am giving you this heads up to eliminate one of the invisible walls you run into in business ventures. I call unknown unknowns invisible walls. That is where you do not know what you do not know until you run into it.

A person or a corporation gets one EIN in life. If you have applied for one as a person doing business that is the one that is attached to you for life. Whenever you open up a new business you use that EIN unless you are starting a new corporation or LLC because they are their own legal entities they need a new EIN.

Nothing breeds success like failure.

There are no over night successes.
"I just called this phone number and I got a million dollars," does not happen.

Colonel Sanders did not just find 14 herbs and spices in his kitchen, throw them on some chicken, and become a world famous millionaire.

The Wright brothers did not just come up with the idea for a plane and take off into the sky. They jumped off a lot of cliffs and crashed often. How crazy did they have to be do that? How much faith did they have to have in their idea to risk death so often?

You are going to have to take a beating to be successful. You are going to have to take a lot of beatings to be great. You will have to be ridiculed to be the best. To be the best you have to think of things no one has ever thought of and then continually refine them while all the experts and naysayers are pointing and laughing at you.

I am not saying this to discourage you. I am saying it to encourage you! Imagine this scene. You are in a river and you are swimming upstream. You are struggling with all your might and you are tired but you know you have to get upstream to something great. You've been told that paradise is up there. You know of a person who knows a person who knows a person who lives upstream and you want that life.

As you are swimming you come across bends in the river and strong currents that make you lose ground but you do not give up. Occasionally you wonder if it is really worth it. While you are thinking that thought a group of people come around a bend on rafts and they are laughing, drinking beers, and listening to music while partying. You know a lot of them. They are friends, family, and colleagues.

They see you struggling and someone kindly tells you to come join them on the raft. There is plenty of room and a couple of cold Heinekens are waiting for you. You tell them no thanks you are heading upstream. Some of your friends and family tell you that you are being too tough on yourself and to relax and join them. You decline. This makes a few people angry.

Some of them start throwing bottles at you and cursing you. They ask you do you think you are better than they are? The truth is you wish they would get off of their rafts and join you. You tell them about paradise up the river and that they can come with you. They tell you that they have never seen this place. Some say it does not exist or that they will not let people like you or them into some fancy place. Get on the raft and relax. Enjoy the ride.

You keep going forward and they float pass you. Some wish you luck, others think you are crazy, and a few just plain hate you. This happens over and over again as you swim upstream getting more and more tired. Some of the people you love tell you to stop chasing a dream and to relax and go with the flow. You come within a heart beat of saying yes but a small small voice inside you tells you not to give up yet. "It's just a little bit farther."

You almost cry from the pain and the sorrow but you keep going. Eventually the rough water evens out and the current is no longer fighting you. You wade onto the beach and you see one glorious mansion after another in the secluded area. There are boats tied to docks at every home. The yards are well manicured. You turn your head and you see a glass garage with your dream car in it and you smile. You look up a little further and you see your dream life taking place inside your dream home. You walk into the yard and up into your new world.

Meanwhile the people who were partying going down the stream wonder whatever happened to you. They turn a bend and suddenly scream in terror. Before them is a waterfall that puts Niagara Falls to shame. There is a sign that says, "Welcome to the folly of man."

They look back upstream one last time with a thousand regrets that they took the easy way. 10,000 "I should have..." come down like rain.

Here are a few statistics.
100% of people end up dead.
95% of people die dead broke.
5% of people control the wealth of the other 95%

Do what everyone else does and you will get what everyone else gets. If everyone around you is agreeing with what you are doing you are losing ground fast. One day you will turn the bend and see the waterfall. The one question that annoys me most in life is, "If it is so good why isn't everyone doing it?"

Look around you at everyone and listen to their stories. Most of them do not have what they want so do not do what everyone else is doing. Find the few who are struggling to do something great and struggle with them. I invite you to join me in the struggle for greatness. Dare something worthy! Email me with your hopes and let me know of your successes.

I do not want to change the world. I want to change my world. I want to help you change your world and in turn you pay it forward by helping change someone else's world.

To be successful you need to have a plan. Don't worry your plan will not work like you think it will. It will fall apart on you over and over again but that is how it is supposed to work. I did not make the rules. I simply follow them. Your plan is not valued for its success but for the process which makes you grow.

Imagine that your over all strategy is a 5 star general of your forces. It makes all the plans to get you through the obstacles of life to get where you want to go. Your tactics are your soldiers. They are the "how's" the general dispatches to overcome challenges. Sometimes the tactics succeed and the strategy goes on as planned. Often the tactic gets ambushed by an unknown assailant in the dark. This is called an unknown unknown. You do not know what you do not know.

If the tactive is rigid and one dimensional it will die. If the tactic is adaptive it will overcome the challenge, grow stronger, and then report back to the strategy. The strategy will use the intelligence to make better decisions and deploy its resources more carefully.

You want to get from Los Angeles to Tennesse. The general has never been there or seen it but you need to get there. The general checks the war chest and there is $700 in it. He has options. Plane. Bus. Car. The general decides that a car would be the best option. The general being a good planner has you buy a road Atlas.

You jump into your gassed up 1987 Subaru Station wagon which gets 25 mpg and drive. Along the way you get to New Mexico on the I-40. It is a hot day and your radiator overheats. The general smiles. This is a problem he has dealt with before so he has you pull over on the side of the road and turn the engine off. Fifteen minutes later you go to your trunk and get a bottle of water. You pour it and are good to go. Tactic successful or so you thought.

You turn the key and nothing happens. You are perplexed. The general has you get out and survey the situation. You left the headlights on while waiting for the car to cool down! The general has you go back in the trunk and get out jumper cables. It is 100 degrees out and you have no one to jump your car.

Fear not the general has a tactic for you. You stand outside your car and hold the jumper cables in the air. 15 minutes later a very nice couple stops on the shoulder ahead of you, turns around comes back and gives your battery a jump. That tactic worked beautifully. You are then on the road. A day later you make it to your destination. Mission successful.

That was a true story of the author. My name has been left out to protect the guilty. The point is that plans will not go as you plan them but you can still make it to your destination. Buy the e-book for $49.95 and adapt your strategy.
