POWER KEY #3: IDENTIFY YOUR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES AND HAVE A PLAN TO ACHIEVE THEM
A bad plan is always better than no plan at all. Passion without a plan is misdirected and will ultimately be wasted. It is a fact of life that if you do not know where you are going, you will not get anywhere. Many get stuck at the bottom or middle of the pack because they never really sat down and decided what they really want out of life, career, marriage, church or environment. Most people have no long time or short term goals other than expecting to wake up in the morning and go to the same tedious or unfulfilling job. Too many losers leave their future to chance while champions have a very clear sense of direction and destiny. You do not become a champion by just praying to become one, and then having no set goals or plans on when, where and how you intend to become a champion. Champions do not arrive by accident. In Habbakuk 2:2, God advised “write down the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it.”
All enduring champions without exception have identified what they really want and set goals and milestones to achieve them before they achieve it. Accidental champions are rare indeed. You must set your career, family, and personal goals today if you want to be a champion tomorrow.
God had a plan for Redemption of mankind when Adam fell in the Garden. He systematically moved from Chapter 3 of the book of Genesis, to Exodus, through all the books of the bible all the way to the book Matthew in the new testament to accomplish the Plan. As a matter of fact, Jesus told us God had a plan to save the world even before He created it! (Jesus was the lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world)
Jesus, the Redeemer who was sent to accomplish the carefully laid blueprint also had a plan for spreading the gospel all over the world- He trained 12 men over a 3 year period, gave them the Holy Spirit and released them as apostles to take the Word to the world.
Tiger Woods had a list of the records he intends to break in his golf career pasted on the wall in his room by the time he was 8 years old. He set his schedule and training regimen to systematically take down those records. He has already achieved 80% of those goals and he is not yet 35 years old.
Bill Gates had a vision of placing a computer on every desk before he dies and he registered a company, Microsoft and devised a plan to achieve it. He had a master plan to make every other program submit to the Microsoft operating system and executed it ruthlessly over the years.
I once read about a study carried out by a university which showed that only 3% out of 100 graduating students had written down a clear list of goals they want to achieve over the next 10 years. About 10 years later, the follow-up study showed that the same 3% who had written down their goals were the champions at the top of the rest in achievement, position and finances. Those who did not set goals were now looking up to, and serving those who had set goals.
The good news is that it is never too late to start setting goals or have a plan. Les Brown started his career as a public speaker and motivator at 41 years old, yet he is a champion today. He was at one point rated as one of the 5 best public speakers/motivators in the world. You can still be a champion regardless of how many years you have lost.
Begin by setting goals for your life, career, and family today!
It is as simple as investing only ONE HOUR each day to think and WRITE-DOWN what really matters to you at this point in your life and what you want to achieve in the next one month, 6 months, I year, 5 years and 10 years down the road. Then take time out to think through and WRITE-DOWN what you need to do to get to each goal. If you can ever do this, you are already ahead of 95% of the world and it is just a matter of time before you arrive at the top! I dare you today to write down your goals today!

You will never find a champion who is not passionate about what he/she does. Passion will propel you to dominion and power. It is a fact that you will never have significant success with anything until it becomes an obsession with you. Passion is a pre-requisite for possession. You will never be a champion if you do not have passion. The 10 spies and their whole generation in Numbers 13 lost out on the promised land because they allowed their observations to weaken their passion for their destiny. They saw giants and fortified strongholds and lost their passion for the promised land and god cut them down right there in the desert.
JESUS, the greatest champion who ever lived had a passion and an obsession with his mission. Every opportunity he had, he declared without apologies that “The son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” He would not be deterred in his passion for his assignment to return us to the kingdom dominion we lost. He concentrated on his passion about the kingdom of God returning back to earth to the exclusion of everything else. Jesus focused on doing the passion of his heart. He insisted on preaching the kingdom to the neighboring cities because that was why he was sent. He healed the sick on the sabbath. He mixed with the sinners, the poor and the discouraged regardless of tradition. Jesus’ obsession with his dream took him to the cross even when the people he came for did not acknowledge him.
Paul the apostle was also a man obessed with his passion to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God to the gentiles. He insisted on going to Rome even when there was a clear vision of danger for him on the journey. He forgot about everything else and focused on his passion and his goal of preaching the good news of the kingdom. Lynching did not strip him of his passion. Beaten did not beat out the passion in him. Prison did not cure him of his passion. Shipwreck did not wreck his resolve. No wonder he became the champion apostle we all celebrate today!
Look around you. Celebrated champions are ALL celebrated because they had a passion for something and it became an obsession with them. Bill Gates was passionate about the computer and its operating system and the obsession with that quest made him the richest man in the world. Tiger Woods was passionate and obsessed about only one thing: golf. He is said to get up as early as 6am and get on the golf course to practice and play golf for 3 hours every day, day in, day out, even though he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Michael Jordan won’t eat his breakfast until he had practiced at least 100 shots and he wont go to bed until he had practiced another 100 shots. Donald Trump is passionate and obsessed with the thrill of the deal particularly real estate.
Examine your passion about what you are doing today. How do you feel about going to the present work you do? Do you get lost in time while doing your assignment or are you constantly looking at the clock waiting to clock out? How do you feel about your present pursuits? Make no mistake, you cannot become a champion just marking time and waiting for lightning to strike. There are no championship rings for those without passion or great pursuit. Don’t waste your life on mindless dispassionate pursuits.
Ask yourself, what is it that you are willing to leave everything else for? What are you willing to risk it all on? If you can have a choice of anything to do in the world today, and money is not an issue, what will that be? Find what makes you boil with excitement and pursue it aggressively and you will become a champion. Passion is a power secret of champions.
Stay tuned... I am waiting for you at the top!

http://www.OmegaSuperProfits.comTHE POWER KEYS OF SUPER ACHIEVERS (Part1)
Contrary to what we may have been told, Champions are not born. They are made! I am convinced that every one of us can be a champion in our lives and in any area of endeavor we choose if only we are willing to study and apply the power keys for achieving greatness. The power keys of champions are not hidden. They are in plain sight. The keys for becoming a true champion are not in any secret books controlled by some faceless power brokers. They are available in the bible and they work if applied. They have been applied by people who aspire to be champions for thousands of years. The Bible spelt them out. You can definitely be a champion regardless of how you see yourself right now.
Now, if you really want to go higher than you are right now, or if you are tired of not going anywhere, then join me as we discover and discuss how to apply these keys over the next few weeks. Your comments and feedback will be highly appreciated
POWER KEY #1: DEVELOP THE ATTITUDE AND MENTALITY OF A CHAMPION
You must understand that grasshoppers do not eat grapes. According to proverbs, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”. No teachings, directions or instructions you receive can ever make you a champion if you do not first win the battle in your mind and develop the mindset of a champion. The lion was not the biggest animal in the jungle, yet he is the champion of animal kingdom. The Lion is not the strongest animal in the jungle, yet he is the acknowledged champion. The lion is not even the smartest animal in the animal kingdom, yet he is the undisputed champion of all forest animals. Why? The single difference between the lion and the rest is the attitude and mentality. The lion has the mindset and mentality of a champion and a conqueror. It believes every other animal is destined to be food for its lunch or dinner. He fears no one and is feared by all, even by those who are much bigger, stronger, smarter. The lion displayed the mentality of a champion for so long that over time he became the champion by default. Now, every animal has an in-born instinct to fear it and cower before the lion having to do anything . When they see the lion, they don’t remember their own strength, size or cunning. All they see is themselves been torn to pieces by the almighty lion. The illusion became the reality for the rest of the animal world.
Know this for a fact: YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP AND EXHIBIT THE MENTALITY OF A CHAMPION BEFORE YOU CAN BECOME ONE. People respond and react to your mentality and over time they learn to respect and submit to it.
Goliath held the whole army of Israel in suspended terror for 30 days by talking and strutting like a champion. The soldiers of Israel cowered before him without him having actually beaten anybody in battle. He maintained his champion status until a little boy named David with a stronger mentality of a champion stepped into the ring. Though David must have looked like a midget compared to Goliath, he had the attitude and mentality of a champion. He believed he had all he needed to win (God on his side). He called Goliath a dog and went into battle with mere stones with full confidence of eventual victory.
THE VICTORY MUST START IN THE MIND. THE BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY MUST BE WON IN THE MIND BEFORE IT CAN BE DEMONSTRATED ON THE BATTLEFIED. This is the first and most important power key of champions.
In Numbers 13, we also saw that the basic difference between the 10 spies and Joshua/Caleb was in the mentality of the two groups of spies. There was never any dispute that they saw the same thing. The majority did not lie about what they physically saw (i.e fortified strongholds, giants,etc) and the minority (Joshua and Calbe) never really disputed the physical evidence. The difference was in how their minds interpreted the implications of those facts. The majority had the mind and mentality of losers (“we were like grasshoppers in their sight” they cried.). They chose to see themselves as losers and conceded victory to their enemies even before battle (they were sure “the land devours its inhabitants” though they saw people still living there).
On the other hand Joshua and Caleb had the mentality of champions. They believed that regardless of what they had seen with their eyes, they can still take the land. They were sure if the Lord is with them, they will capture the land. They understood and believed the promises of god concerning them as overcomers. They focused on the grapes rather than the giants. They focused on the possibilties rather than the problems. They chose to contrate on the promises of grapes and milk and honey rather than contemplate the strong defences and giants in the land. That is what champions do. They realized that grasshoppers do not eat grapes. They knew that though God had given them the land, they still had to take possession of it.
Mohammed Ali was by no means the strongest or smartest boxer in the world in his time. However, he had what no other boxer of his era had. He had the mentality of a champion. He believed in his mind that he was destined to rule the world. He believed he could never lose to another fighter regardless of their records. He was convinced in his mind that every other boxer will fall at the round he predicted. He talked about it to anybody who cared to listen. He called himself the champion of the world when he had not yet become the champion of his state. As he continued to display that mentality in his thoughts, words and deeds, the whole world eventually succumbed to his version of reality and he reigned as the champion of the world. The other boxers come into the ring with Mohammed Ali, focusing on not falling in the round he had predicted but already convinced in their mind they would lose anyhow. Even after he lost his title and retired, people still referred to Mohammed Ali as the only true world champion.
As you go about your business today, ask yourself, "what is my mentality to life". Do you see yourself as a victim or a victor? Do you think about all the stuff stacked against you or do you see opportunities for making a difference? Have you consciously or unconsciously accepted that this is as good as it is going to get for you in your career, marriage or business or do you believe that where you are now is just a temporary stepping stone on your way to greatness? Do you see yourself as leading or you are resigned to being led? Do an honest survey of how you really view yourself and your life. Remember, you cannot become a champion until you see yourself and think of yourself as one. As a man thinketh in his heart, so he becomes!!

The Dream Killers That Can Kill Your Dreams – PART 2 OF 2
Copyright: Ope Banwo, 'The Wealth Apostle'
www.omegasuperprofits.comThis is the concluding part of a 2-part article. In the preceding article, we discussed the first 3 potential dream killers. The last dream killer is discussed in this article
Potential Dream Killer #4:Your Self: Dealing with your Fear, Failure, Frustration and Fatigue
Do not underrate yourself as your own most dangerous dream killer. Too often, dreams of enterprise have died because the dreamer allowed himself to succumb to the dreaded elements of fear, failure, frustration and fatigue.
Fear is a dangerous dream-killer.
The Israelites allowed their dream of a promise land to die in the desert because they gave in to fear. After surveying the Promised Land in Numbers chapter 13, they all agreed that the land was exactly as God promised them and that the land did indeed flow with milk and honey, but they chose to give in to fear of the inhabitants. As the far took root in their psyche they rebelled against God and his messenger, Moses. They were ready to go back to Egypt where they had just been freed from over 400 yeas of slavery. Fear caused them to prefer to go back to the status quo of servitude in a foreign land rather than risking going forward to possess their possession. This attitude provoked God to the point where He had to destroy the whole generation, save for two people, in the desert.
Fear is a very real dream killer and it rears its ugly head in many forms. It could be fear of failure, fear of the effort required for success, fear of your competitors or fear of leaving the comfortable for the unknown. Fear will always rear its head when you try to do something new and unique. The trick is never to give in to it. Your trust in the Lord and His provisions must be allowed to bury that fear. Many other more than in any other area, the believer will be tested on his claims on being able to overcome all things through Christ who strengthens him. Many would-be kingdompreneurs never make into the promised land of owning their own businesses because of the dream killer called ‘fear’.
In contrast to the Israelites, Jesus felt fear and dread for the coming tribulation in the Garden of Gethsemane, but he moved on to complete the vision anyway because he trusted in the One who sent him on the assignment. How well you trust God to provide for your dream will certainly be tested when the action starts. You can count on it because the devil will not let that opportunity to test your resolve and trust in the Lord pass without challenge.
Failure is an dangerous Dream-Killer
Your experience with failure is also another potential personal dream killer. There are no spectacular winners who have not lost been spectacular losers at some point in their careers. The difference between the ones whose dream died and the ones who made it big in the business world is their approach to failure. When you allow yourself to be overwhelmed by failure in your quest to be a Kingdompreneur, your dream may get killed without any help from satan.
Failure is never final until you choose to accept it as final. Joshua is known as a great warrior who conquered the promised land for Israel but he had his share of failure. He just did not allow the fear to keep him from his kingdom assignment permanently. Abraham was a great Kingdompreneur but he also had his share of failures along the way but he never allowed the failures to keep him from his destiny. So did Moses, David, Gideon and all the other great achievers mentioned in the hall of faith of the bible in Hebrew 11.
It is inevitable that you will experience some failure and some disappointments as you make your transition into the ranks of the kingdompreneurs. You must be careful not to allow your little failures to kill the big dream.
Frustration is an dangerous Dream KillerAs you move on, some things may not move at the pace you expect it to. The sources of finance and marketing prospects you were promised before you stepped out may be slow in coming in. The profits or breakthroughs may not follow your carefully prepared and tested business plan. Frustration will rear its ugly head at some point. Frustration is part of the business world. Do not allow it to kill your dream. You must be optimistic that God will come through for you and make a way where there is not way.
Even when things look bleak, do not allow the spirit of frustration to win. When it looks like it will take forever for the breakthrough to come, hang in there and keep hope alive. Our ability to hope for the best when things look bleak is what separates us from the believer. As long as we are doing things in the will of God we must continue to believe that help is on the way. After all, "all things work together for good of them that are called according to his purpose”, and you must keep in mind that “He who comes to God must believe that he exists and that he is a diligent rewarder of those that seek him.” .”
Fatigue is a dangerous Dream-KillerFatigue has played its fair share in destroying dreams of many would-be kingdompreneurs. Sometimes we just get too tired to sustain our desire or be creative. As humans, we sometimes just get tired and give up on the dream. Satan our adversary is aware of the destructive power of fatigue and he generally makes his appearance at such times to give us dream-killing suggestions. You must be vigilant. You are at your weakest mental and spiritual point when you are physically tired. Do not let fatigue kill your dream at a low point in your life or business.
Be sure to watch against burn-out. Do not overlook or neglect the benefits of exercise and relaxation. Sometimes we get too caught up in working so hard to make things happen that we allow ourselves to get fatigued to the point where the devil can get an in-road into our minds to kill the dream.
Elijah basically resigned his ministry because he was tired and fatigued. He had spent the whole day on Mount Carmel dueling with the prophets of Baal. He had single-handedly killed hundreds of prophets of Baal after he won the contest. It must have been a physically and spiritually draining exercise. Next morning, here comes Jezebel with threats to put him to death by sundown. Elijah was so physically drained, emotionally exhausted and spiritually fagged out that this empty threat caused him to run into a cave. He was so tired he believed he could not go on anymore with the mission of revival he just started. He even asked God to kill him because he now believed he was alone and could no longer press on with God’s inspired assault on the false.
This was the beginning of the end of Elijah’s ministry. After God has fed him, he then showed him that there are other faithful prophets around who can carry on the battle. God essentially accepted his resignation and gave him instructions on anointing a new king and a successor and then made arrangements to bring him to heaven by chariot of fire. If only Elijah had not been so tired and drained, he would have realized how empty the threat from Jezebel was. After all, he had just killed all the prophets that formed the back bone of Jezebel’s power and sorcery. I mean, these were the same medicine men that were providing Jezebel with spiritual powers and he had just killed all of them. Why then was he afraid of Jezebel who had no prophets to help her? He was fatigued.
You must be careful not to make a major decision when you are tired or fatigued. D o not resign or pack it in a moment of burn-out. Never decide to quit when you are tired. Anytime you are tempted to bury the dream, learn to Step away from it all for a while and consider your options and the implications of your decisions before you commit to them. Sometimes it is amazing how much better things can look after a good night’s rest. Watch out for the dream killed named fatigue!
Thats it folks. Dont allow anything to stand between you and your dream! Go right now and become all that you have dreamed to be.

The Dream Killers That Can Kill Your Dreams – (PART 1 OF 2) Copyright: Ope Banwo, 'The Wealth Apostle'www.omegasuperprofits.com
To make it into the small field of successful entrepreneurs in the market place, you must be aware that there are certain people and certain elements in your life and around you that have the tendency and potential to reduce your desire to be all you can be in the business world. These factors, if not properly monitored and dealt with can turn into dream killers.
Potential Dream Killer #1: Your Family And RelativesSome of us are unfortunate to be born into a family where people just shoot down your brilliant ideas and dreams. This often happens if you happen to be a junior member of the family. How often have we heard of people who buried their God given visions because the family members, who should have been very supportive only scoffed and ridiculed at your visions to make a difference.
Joseph was one of those people who almost got killed by his family for daring to have a vision. Joseph had a dream of being great man to whom the whole world bows but his brothers only got mad at him and out of jealousy would have killed him but for the mercy and grace of God who ensured that they only sent him to his destiny.
Even Jesus had problems with his family. Rather than being excited that their brother was doing exploits at an unprecedented level, his brothers and family chose to ridicule him. In Mark chapter 6 we see how his neighbors mocked “is this not the carpenter’s son”?, underscoring the fact that they did not expect the son of the carpenter to have any special visions or powers. If Jesus had not been a man fully persuaded about his mission, he could very easily have had his dreams killed in its nascent phase. However, Jesus simply moved to another town where his vision was received and the bible says “only in his hometown among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor.”
To make it as a entrepreneur you must begin to identify members of your family and relatives who deflate your desire for your dreams. Is it your father? Is it your mother? Is it your spouse? Who among your family is always quick to let you know you could not do something? Be alert for the dream killers in your household! Remember the warning of Jesus that a “man’s worst enemy will be members of his own household.”
Potential Dream Killer #2: Your Friends/Associates
Sometimes, your close friends and acquaintances could also be potential dream killers if you do not show proper discernment and manage them right. Sometimes, you may have to take a stand and ignore your friends when you have a clear vision of where you are headed.
The type of friends and company you keep are very important in realizing your dreams. David said it all in Psalm 1:1: “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or seat in the seat of mockers.” Who are mockers? These are the scorners, critics, and the destructive cynics. They are the people around you who keep saying “It can’t be done”, “forget it”, “Don’t waste your time". Nobody has ever done it this way before.” David advised us not to walk with them, not to stand with them, and not to eat with them. David was right on with this advise because if you hang around negative people long enough, you will actually end up sitting and partaking of their negative attitudes.
Psychologists have for long maintained that we tend to perform at about the same level of people who are around or close to us. Proverbs 13:20 says “He who walks with the wise is wise” and that “bad company corrupts good character.” A ‘friend’ in this context of dream-killers is anybody you spend time with- whether are considered a friend or not. Anybody you spend a lot of time with is your ‘friend’ by default and he/she//it will ultimately have an influence over you. For some people, their best ‘friend’ is the television set and nobody denies that the T.V has a tremendous influence on people and their outlook and motivations in life.
Potential Dream Killer #3: Your Present Boss And Those In Authority Over You
Many visions for the business enterprise have been prevented from seeing the light of day because of the jealousy and evil machinations of the people in authority over the dreamer. Most humans by nature feel threatened when those under them can see something they are not seeing.
The worst in humans come to the surface once they can somebody with the potential to take over their crown shows up. King Saul tried all he could to destroy David, the upstart who would be king. Herod did not mind killing all the babies in Jerusalem in an attempt to destroy baby Jesus, the star who was billed to become the king of the Jews. Most employers feel threatened when an employee starts showing signs of setting up for himself. Those in positions of dominance often try all they can to suppress and destroy the upstart. This is a fact that you can neglect to your eternal regret.
While it is honorable to leave your present employment properly, be wise as to when to confide your vision of the new enterprise to your boss or those who in authority over you. Be particularly wary of those who may lose their hold or control over your talents. Do not be naïve. The bible advises us to be ‘as wise as a serpent and gentle as a dove’. Nobody likes a challenge to their dominance and no employer likes to lose a good employee. No Leader likes to lose his most productive lieutenant and many have trouble dealing with the fact that there former subordinate now desires to be on equal footing with them.
At first your employer, boss or overseer will dangle tempting carrots before you to keep you under the yoke of the wage system. They will often give you concessions or offer you pay increases or other perks to keep the status quo. Once that fails, almost invariably, the previously ‘sweet’ boss will bring out the stick. Once you announce your intention to start out on your own, do not count on the goodwill of your superior continuing, even if they are fully born again, sprit-filled and tongue talking. We all wrestle against the flesh daily and it is only a matter of time before the ‘cursed body of flesh’ will let them down. When that happens, the javelin will surely begin to fly. Just be ready to dodge and if possible hightail it out of town like David.
As you make your way towards your destiny, you will face intimidation, harassment, slander and persecution but you must be committed to your vision otherwise you will not make it into the ranks of the kingdompreneurs.

Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?Copyright © Stone Evans, The Home Biz Guy
Author of "Dotcomology - The Science of Making Money Online"These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.
The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.
More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.
I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?
For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.
I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

Are Investment Income Companies Good For You?Copyright © Ope Banwo
http://www.OmegaSuperProfits.com----------
For those who want to earn easy revenue, income investment opportunities may be the best type of opportunity. Some people don’t want to be tied to a computer typing, entering data, or any other type of income opportunity, so they choose income investment businesses as a source of passive income. Whether this type of opportunity is right for you is contingent upon what you seek from income investment businesses. For those who are looking to create some passive income that will later assist during retirement, this may be the best way to do that. For those who are looking for immediate income, income investment opportunities will not provide that.
Before you make a decision you must take the time to discover each of the income investment opportunities that are available
in order to find the ones that may be right for you. From there you can sort out all of the features in order to choose any income investment opportunities that you feel fit within the extent of what you seek. Whether you are choosing one opportunity or several you need to conduct some research before you make any final choices. Failure to properly research any investments you are considering may cause you to make a wrong decision, and if you’re making a substantial investment, that may be detrimental to your financial outlook.
If you have the resources you should go beyond the web to conduct research into income investment businesses. Talk
to your family and neighbors who may have invested in the same source—read the business section of your newspaper for information on the company.
If you are looking into real estate, be sure to check out the area as if you were going to live there. Everything you do will have a positive impression on your income investment opportunities by allowing you enough information to make an unknowledgeable selection.
If you are a first time investor, you may want to use the services of a financial advisor. Even though it may cost you for the service, it will be well worth it if it saves you from making a wrong decision. You might also check at your bank—if you are a long time customer, they may do it for you at a reduced rate. This is especially important when it comes to making real estate investments since income investment opportunities in that field tend to be rather large in size. The information you gather before you make your final decision should be one clear of any omissions that may make your investment unwise. Investigate every possible angle and loophole until you are satisfied that you have left no pages unturned.
It may appear that all this work makes income investment opportunities time consuming ventures, but you have to make certain you protect your investment before you even begin. Making any decision without researching it first is unwise and will almost certainly lead to predicaments at some time in the future. Choose wisely and your income investment opportunities will work well for you.

The 5 Strategic Tools To Get Out Of DebtCopyright © Ope Banwo
http://www.OmegaSuperProfits.comGetting out of debt takes much more than wishful thinking. Regardless of how you may have gotten yourself into the debt trap, you need to be smart and pro-active in climbing out of the 'debt zone. It wont happen with just prayer alone. Your debt wont go away simply because you stopped taking the calls from your creditors. You need to have a plan and you need to have a strategy. Well, I have put together what I consider to be the top 5 things you need to do to get out of debt. Follow the suggestions and you will be on your way to financial health. Ignore them and die a slow financial debt.
Tool #1) Make A Decision to Get Out Of Debt and Immediately Take Action
You need to stop making false ‘positive’ confessions. You must resolve to swallow your ego and need to show others you are okay. You must understand that Goliath will Not Go Away without a Showdown. You must take the action that is desired and God will back you up.
Tool #2) Prayer for guidance and Direction and Strength to follow throughIt is perfectly alright for you to pray for direction and strength to follow through on your plan. The devil is very clever. One of the most successful demons he is fond of sending to us is the demon of weariness and discouragement.
You must pray for strength and direction to resist poverty and debt in your life. Using only your soul or intelligence to attack the problem will not work. Knowledge and native wisdom alone is not going to work ‘for we wrestle not against only flesh and blood’. You will be wise to believe that this injunction from Paul is not only against spiritual attacks of sickness.
Tool #3) You Must Understand that the Joke is on you!
Statistics show that about 20% of money earned by most people is spent on paying debt. The Bank/Lender’s Interest is not in your best interest (Periodic Rate and Annual Percentage Rate). You must recognize that there is very little Grace in the ‘Grace Period’
Deadlines are set by your creditors to make you die financially and minimum payments will keep you in Permanent Payment. The whole credit system is set up to systematically drive you into bankruptcy! You must recognize that the whole debt joke is on you and your family then take action to get out of that cadre of losers.
Tool #4) You must know the sorry state of your Financial AffairsIt is amazing how many people do not even know their net worth or the balance in their savings or checking accounts. You must know where you are financially- how much you owe and how much you are owed
It is important to write your expenses and Income on Paper to see how badly shaped you are. After seeing the whole sad story on paper, you must resolve to perform drastic surgery. Establish a spending plan and Commit yourself to a plan to prayer and fasting for deliverance!
Tool #5) You must adopt Some Debt-Buster Strategies
Debt-Buster #1: Transfer Credit Balances to a New, Lower Interest Card
Debt-Buster #2: Pay your credit card bills twice a month
Debt-Buster #3: Adopt A Pay-As-You-Go Lifestyle
Debt-Buster #4: Pay at Least twice the minimum payment on your bill
Debt-Buster #5: Convert your mortgage to a 15-year Mortgage
Debt-Buster #6: Make 13 mortgage payments every year
Debt-Buster #7: Home equity Line of credit to pay off your credit cards.
Debt-Buster #8: Cut Off your credit Cards and close accounts as they are paid off.
Debt-Buster #9: Erect Barriers Against Financial Temptations by Making It difficult to use your credit Card.
Debt-Buster #10: Work On Becoming a Business Owner while still keeping Your Day Job.
Thats is my friends. I encourage you to take ACTION TODAY. One more day of inaction will probably cost you another year in the slave market. As always, the choice is yours.
Until next time, remember that you are created to dominate your circumstances and not be under them.

Hey folks,As the network marketing trend (popularly referred to as MLM) continues its amazing momentum of attracting thousands of people everyday, it is becoming increasingly clear that the most important decision you have to make when getting involved in this ‘gold rush’ is in choosing the right business opportunity. The statistics show that only about 5% of people actually make it big time in this industry that boasts of ordinary people making millions of dollars every year. As a matter of fact, I personally know several people who did not even finish high school who are making over $100,000 a month in Home business. So, while it is true that some of these people could never dream of the kind of income they make today if they had not got involved in a network marketing business, the fact that many are not aware of is that their success was mostly a result of picking the right business opportunity to get involved with.
The business opportunity you choose to embrace will go a long way in determining how successful you become. If your business opportunity is flawed, it does not matter how hard you work, you will eventually be frustrated by the business itself. Very few people can make a lemonade out of a lemon business opportunity. Unfortunately, making the right choice in picking the right business opportunity is made even more daunting by the fact that many of the bad mlm opportunities are disguised as credible ‘overnight’ success opportunites. It is therefore very critical for the new MLM comer to understand the critical factors to look for before committing their money, energy and emotion to a particular opportunity. This matter of choosing the right opportunity is further compounded by the many myths and lies about network marketing that somehow be accepted as truth in the industry and your ignorance of these myths and lies may be your downfall. If you will like to know the major lies and myths about network marketing that your sponsor is not telling you, you should download this FREE ebook at this link:
http://omegawealth.the7greatliesofnetworkmarketing.com/ and read before you choose any opportunity. Your very success may depend on it.
As a former loser in the mlm business, I have invested time, energy and resources in trying to indentify the most critical factors that make a business opportunity a viable. I have read over 39 books and hundreds of articles on the subject by those who are actually making all those millions you hear about. I have considered what most of them consider to be their ‘secret’ in choosing the perfect business opportunity and it all come down to 7 critical factors. While it is a fact that nothing is guaranteed in the business world, picking a business that has these 7 qualities will dramatically increased your chances of success in MLM.
#1 Factor: Does the Business sell or promote a good product of service? For the business opportunity to survive over the long haul, the product or service itself must be a high demand product that people want and which actually solves a problem or problems for people. The acid test here is for you to ask yourself: ‘would I purchase this product or service even if nobody is paying my any compensation for using it?’. If you cannot answer this in the affirmative, it is highly unlikely that this is the right opportunity for you. After the hype and the hustle dies down, your long time survival in the business is going to largely demand on how useful the product is.
#2 Factor: Does the Business Opportunity have available Free Literature or report designed specifically for the MLM business opportunity? Since long term survival depends on duplication of your business, it is vital that the company has literature that clearly explains the benefits, features and compensation plan of the company. Ideally, the information report should have good testimonials about people already using the product or service succesfully as well as great online audio and video presentations explaining the business. Having these resources in place before you join will make it easy for you to duplicate and expand your business without having to personally make presentations all the time. You simply refer new prospects to these professionally produced resources for all the critical issues the new prospect needs to know before making a decision. One of the businesses that did a great job of this factor is the Agel Business opportunity. You may want to check them out at
http://www.omegawealth.iamagel.com/#3 Factor: Does The Product Or Service Really Really Excite You? The people who became superstars in the MLM business are those who are very passionate and excited about the product or service represented by the business opportunity. It will be a a mistake for you to choose a business based on much money you could make in it without considering the level of your passion about the business. When you hit the rocky patches in your business, and you can be assured that you will, it is your passion and love for the product or service itself that will carry you over the top.
#4 Factor: Does The Company Have A System In Place To Help You Generate Leads For Your Business Opportunity? In case you are not aware of this before, please understand this unchanging MLM truth from the wealth apostle: You will grow or wither away based on how well you can generate quality leads for your network marketing business. All the great products or literature n the world will not grow your business if you do not have a steady and constant stream of leads eye-balling what you have ot sell. Be sure that whatever business you join already has a lead capture system in place which is designed to help you get people to look as what you are offering. If the company does not have one in place, you will have to develop one for yourself and that will take time, money and a huge those of frustration.
#5 Factor: Does the company have a strong operational support to help you keep the sales process going? The real work of growing your team starts after you have actually signed them up for the opportunity. The new recruit needs to be trained, mentored and led through the basic steps of getting their own business off the ground. One of the most effective support out there is the email follow-up system that ensures that the new recruit is trained and encouraged to go to the next level. This is often refered to as an auto-responder system. In addition to the company generated email follow up system, you also want to be sure that there is some human support system from your upline to answer your questions and those of your recruits and also ensure that you keep the fires of excitement burning.
#6 Factor: How solid is the company financially? Many people have found out too late how critical this factor is. You don’t want to spend your time, money and energy to develop a strong organization only to find out that the company does not have the finances to survive long term. When a company folds up, your income disappears from it too and oyu better be sure that whatever opportunity you choose has the financial backbone to make it over the long haul. You must consider the integrity of the top operatives in the business as well.
#7 Factor: How Ready Are You To Commit To The Business Plan Of The Business? This point may not be considered critical by the naive but I consider the perhaps the most important consideration. All the products or literature or systems in this world will not make you succeed in home business. The most critical factor is YOU. Many people found out too late that home Business takes a lot more than excitement and money. you have to be prepared to work it like you work your job. you must be willing to follow the business plan of your business opportunity and you must be willing to attend business meetings. Most importantly you must be willing to learn and improve your skills. If all you really want is to sign up and expect money in your bank account, it wont happen. Before you choose any business, be sure it is one you are willing to go all out to work at and promote.
That’s it. Those are the 7 critical factors that the mlm rock stars have been using to pick the right business opportunity for years. Keep these factors in mind and take them very seriously in choosing a business opportunity and you have a fighting chance of seeing those mind blowing compensation checks over the long haul.

The 10 'Debtly Sins That Will Keep You In DebtCopyright © Ope Banwo, 'The Wealth Apostle'
http://www.OmegaSuperProfits.comHello,
Hope you are winning in the market place!
Today I want to share with you all
the 10 habits or actions that may get send you into perpretual slavery. It is no longer a secret that the debt epidemic is in full swing. Everywhere we read of bankruptcy filings reaching record highs every single month. Individuals and corporations have not been spared. Families and marriages have been streched to breaking points with the debt burden. Any wise person will do well to understand the actions or habits that can lead them into this part of virtual slavery to the creditors.
The 10 debtly sins that I will discuss today applies to you whether you live in acapulco, banladesh or in california. So, brace up and enjoy!
You Must Repent of the 10 Debtly Sins
Debtly Sin #1: Thou shall not be presumptuous on your finances
It is a serious ‘debtly’ sin for you to assume that your job, business or present level of income will continue as it is forever. When you spend all you make without thought to what will happen in the event that your present source of income is interrupted you are committing a debtly ‘sin’ for which you will most likely pay down the road.
We should be grateful for our finances as they are right now but we must manage what we make now without presuming that things will always be this good. While we expect God to continue to provide our daily needs, we err when we begin to assume that the daily bread will always be there no matter how we manage our finances today.
Debtly Sin #2: Thou shall not be Impulsive on purchases
Impulsiveness is one of the quickest ways to get into debt. When we buy stuff not necessarily because we need it but because it just catches our fancy or because it is on sale, we invite the debt spirit to haunt our homes. How many times have we bought stuff on impulse only to have a buyer’s remorse less than 24 hours later? To avoid this ‘sin’, we must have a system in place to ensure that our purchases are made after serious deliberations and consideration of our present needs or requirements
Debtly Sin #3: Thou shall not covet your Neighbors Possessions
Covetousness is one of the cardinal vices God first counseled us against. We often get into debt because we covet our neighbors new car, new clothes or new acquisitions. In our bid to hang with the joneses, we often stretch our finances to a point where taking on more debt becomes inevitable for us. To avoid this debtly ‘sin’, we must learn to be content with what we have within our means
Debtly Sin #4: Thou shall not forget to establish Financial Goals
It is easier to score a goal, when the goal post is very clear. Without a goal post, you can dribble your life away without achieving any goals. You cannot achieve goals if you don’t set one. Financial goals have to be clearly set and doggedly pursued in order to arrive at the financial destination you desire. Your financial decisions will then be guided by the goals you have set for yourself. You will dissipate less energy for greater results if you have a goal you are pursuing.
Debtly Sin #5: Thou shall not be too passive about your debt situation
You cannot afford to wait around thinking that your debt situation will resolve itself. You must be very active in trying to find a solution. You must take your destiny in your hands and seek Godly counsel on how to deal with it. Passivity will kill you!
Debtly Sin #6: Thou shall not be wasteful of God’s resources
God will hold you accountable for the resources He has invested in you. The parable of the Talents is a good warning you are well advised to heed. It is debtly sin to waste your resources and resort to borrowing to fill the gaps in your lifestyle. Borrowing resources to waste on unworthy projects or activities in a sure ‘sin’ that will ruin you.
Debtly Sin #7: Thou shall not procrastinate on financial matters
Procrastination is the greatest enemy of progress. Once you have decided on a course of action to solve your financial problems, you must act immediately. A day wasted is a day wasted forever and that will add many days to your days in the financial wilderness.
Debtly Sin #8: Thou shall not avoid responsibility for your finances
Nobody is responsible for your financial situation but you. Passing the responsibility to others is risking a lifetime of financial worries. It is your responsibility to seek out books, seminars, mentors and opportunities that can help you. People can only help you but they are not responsible for you.
Debtly Sin #9: Thou shall not rob Peter to pay Paul
Money saved up for retirement or for the education of your children should not be applied towards an emergency that does not relate to them. Robbing Peter to pay Paul will eventually disrupt your chances of financial progress and success.
Debtly Sin #10: Thou Shall Not Spend More Than Your Income.
Cut you coat according to your cloth and not according to your size if you don’t have enough yards of cloth. The fastest way to financial ruin is to leave beyond your means. There is no point spending money to buy what you don’t really need to impress people who really do not like you.
That it folks. Let me know what you think. Post your comments now.
