High-Speed Success Shortcuts of Masters and Millionaires

k, you need a hundred thousand dollars quickly, and we have a list of eighty-five thousand people who individually give away at least five million dollars per year. As a favor to us, and because you're only asking for a thousand dollars from each, fifty-five percent of our millionaire philanthropists have agreed to give you a thousand dollars, as long as you personally ask them for it within the next 24 hours.
Our question to you is, how many people will you call and/or visit in the next 24 hours?
Will you even bother going out of the house if you already know in advance that 55% of these wonderful people will say "yes" by phone, as long as you call and ask personally?

How many hours will you sleep in the next 24 hours?

How hard will you work to contact at least four hundred people in the next 24 hours?
The truth, as we both know, is that you're almost certain to stay awake for every one of these next 24 hours, and will dial your brains out, won't you? In other words, you'll have sufficient motivation to make what might be the greatest financial effort you've ever made up until today, true? Knowing that more than half of all the people you ask will actually send you a thousand dollars, you'll pick up the phone with enthusiasm and no small amount of anticipation. That's because you'll have a vastly reduced concern about failure -- you already know in advance that you can raise a hundred thousand dollars or more very quickly.

What's ironic is that, had you personally been performing community service in several of the towns closest to you over the past several years, you'd probably be in a position to ask hundreds of millionaires for a donation. With America producing an average of thirteen thousand new millionaires PER WEEK for 350 weeks in a row (then increasing to twenty thousand new millionaires for each week of 1999 in addition to the nearly five million Americans already earning an average of eighty thousand dollars per month), the odds are high that you have a thousand millionaires living within a hundred miles of your house, if not within a mile or two.

For those who haven't given consistent service to others, you certainly have the Internet, and other resources by which you can easily, quickly, inexpensively obtain contact information for many tens of thousands of millionaires and at least a hundred of America's billionaires.
The only two perfectly common traits you can find among upper-level millionaires and billionaires is that they know precisely what they want, and they ask more people to help them get it.... they ask more people than you do.

Proof? The proof is that they get what they want. They ask more, and they obtain more.

It really is that simple, and if you knew better, you'd do better, wouldn't you?

Can you even think of a better day than today to begin asking more people for what you most want?

Reversing Impossibilities - Shortcuts To Success


Remember when we were kids, and our parents, a relative, or perhaps a favorite elderly neighbor told us, "Nothing is impossible when you set your mind to it?"

Well, it's taken me a long, long time to think of something substantial that is impossible: It's impossible to learn less about anything. No matter how hard we might try, we cannot learn less about how to raise our children; do our jobs, expand our vocabularies; or any other area of human endeavor. So why are most of us so unwilling to reach for an instruction manual, or a magazine that addresses a particular area, or to ask for helpadvice from someone who is already better at it than we are? Let's be honest: Are all of us that happy with our performance levels? Vince Lombardi used to say, "The quality of our lives is in direct proportion to our commitment to excellence -- regardless of our field of endeavor."
Pat Riley has been repeatedly described as the most winning coach in NBA history. After barely losing the 1986 World Championship to the Boston Celtics, the Lakers hired Pat to be the team's coach. The players felt that they'd given their best, & had squeezed out every last ounce of effort... yet had lost anyway. Pat's response? "Gentlemen, there are, as you know, five major areas of basketball play. Can each of you, superstars that you are, at superstar salaries, commit to increasing your performance just ONE percent in each of these five areas?" They agreed this was a reasonable goal for 12 of the world's greatest basketball players.
Pat noted that each player improving just 1% in each of the 5 areas would result in 12 men becoming 60% more effective as a team... and since 1% is such a tiny increase, you'd be correct in guessing that the actual improvement of each player was more than 1%: Every man on the team increased 5 to 50% in each area!! After the 1987 season was over, the new World Champions claimed it was their easiest year in memory. What's really powerful is the fact that, nearly 10 years later, Pat Riley is creating a similar environment with the Miami Heat basketball team: and they're winning!
Are you satisfied with your performance in all major areas of your life? Is your happiness, and that of your loved ones, worth 15 minutes out of a lifetime? Why not take a couple of blank sheets of paper, and creating columns on the paper, for these areas:
Family
Career
Physical Health
Spiritual
Financial Health
Social Life
Under each of these headings, produce just 10 suggestions for improving your performance and satisfaction in each area. Along with your ideas, ask someone who IS doing better than you in that particular area. Obviously, they're doing something right, and in most cases, they will be pleased that you think enough of them to ask; and will be happy to help... BUT DO IT TODAY !!!!
An astonishing total of 84 banks turned down Walter's idea of creating an animated feature before the main feature in movie theaters across the country. How impressive that he didn't stop after 4 banks turned him down, or even 40 banks, or 70 banks... or 84. Bank #85 lent him $1500, he changed his puppet's name from Steamboat Willie to Mickey Mouse... and moved right into history. Walt Disney simply refused to quit.
There are tapes, books, movies, magazines, and more.... designed to help you to help yourself and those you care for. Friends, you can't possibly learn less about how to promote/increase your performance or your personal satisfaction in literally ANY area of your life. And since you and I will only have one go-round on the road of Life, aren't we... aren't YOU... worth at least a touch of excellence?

Best The Interner Web Masters and Millionaires


Let's see if I've got this right on how to beat the web's top producers in 22 hours or less. 
 1) Have your entire web site in a single folder on your computer.

How to

2) create a folder called All My Web Sites
3) Inside that folder, create fifty numbered folders. Name them by number to 50.
(If you can't find any one of HUNDREDS of free or paid or shareware programs such as doorway page generators to create a wide variety of metatag combinations, you're an idiot, and you should open a text file, make a long list of your keywords and keyphrases, one per line and save it as a text doc (.txt). Manually take one line at a time and move it to a different line. After you scramble a dozen of them, save it as 2.txt. Leaving it open, scramble again and then save it as 3.txt. Leave the file open, scramble another dozen lines and save it as 4.txt.
Now you have four different metatag files that the search engines require to list you.
IF YOU HAVE YOUR OWN DOT COM, MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF YOUR LINKS ARE ABSOLUTE LINKS. This is vital beyond description; we'll skip the explanation in favor of sticking to this super effective method.
5) copy the contents of your website, taking it from the folder you named All my web sites, and then copy the files, all of them, into each and every one of the other folders that you created underneath the folder called All My Web Sites.
You should now have fifty different copies of your website, right? Great.
Get ready, because this is incredible and awesome, and is guaranteed to place you at the top of at least eighty percent of all the search engines that you are going to be submitting to.
If you doubt that any of this works, please go to any an just about every major and minor search engine on the internet in the top 200. Type masters and millionaires, or shortcuts of masters or success shortcuts of millionaires. (In truth, you don't even need to bother with three-letter words: the search engine ignores most of them).
In at least eighty percent of the top two hundred search engines, you will find masters and millionaires websites in the top ten.
No, we do not claim to have a top ten rating in eighty percent of these search engines.
WE are specifically stating that, as of this writing, you will find that MOST OF THE TOP TEN listings are Masters and Millionaires web sites.
If you knew better, you'd do better. Close your mouth and open your eyes.
III) Sign up for two email accounts at any free email service. They will be used just for this method.
IV) Go to any top search engine on the internet. Type "free web space ftp" or "free web hosts.
Sign up for a new account at every single free host there is. Yes, I have favorites; that's not so important.
(NOTE FOR THOSE WHO WISH TO HAVE ONE HUNDRED SITES: At the end of each signup, hit BACK on your browser until you get back to that first sign-in page, and sign up for a second account using email box 2. At many free web hosts, you can use all the same signup info EXCEPT for desired user name for that particular host, and the email address you give for signing up. That's why we use sign up for two email addresses at the free email provider.)By the time you get to fifty different hosts, you now have one hundred web sites, with absolute links on each one of them.
Most of the Masters and Millionaires web sites have up to a hundred links per page, almost all of which lead to another Masters and Millionaires page... .... effectively creating more than one million hotlinks to each other, which is why we are the dominant force for our keywords and keyphrases on eighty percent of all the top 200 search engines.


V) Remember those fifty different copies of your web site that you created on your computer? Great. By now you should know how to copy and paste from several open files. Whether you do ten at a time or fifty, open up all of the web pages for your site, and change only the metatags at the top. IF you're a fast worker, invest a minute or two on each page making just a one-paragraph move, or changing the first sentence. Effectively speaking, you are creating fifty completely separate web sites, all fifty of which will be submitted to the search engines, all fifty of which will lead with absolute hotlinks back to your own dot com or favorite free web host.

Speaking for Masters and Millionaires, the decision was made to create not merely fifty, rather, three hundred separate websites. We use over a thousand gorgeous backgrounds and images, we change background colors or types of links, and make other modest changes. As of yesterday evening, we had 485 different web sites, plus 215 redirect addresses, such as http://go.to/shortcuts http://beam.to/shortcuts http://Arrive.at/Millionairehood , etc.
39000 webpages, more than one million and one hundred ten thousand hotlinks..... all leading back to each other.
That's how we beat all the masters.... without spending a dime.
Took me personally, 17 nonstop hours of work last Thursday to do this with fifty additional sites. Expect them to show up in the search engines in the next few days/weeks. What's ironically funny is that, for our key words and keyphrases, it's unlikely that more than a few of them will end up in the top fifty.... because we already have most of the top fifty listings in each category on eighty percent of all the top 200 search engines.


Whatever it is that you want in life, from perfect chocolate ice cream to the ultimate date or a pile of money or an Academy Award,
close your mouth and open your ears and eyes. You must remember why you have two ears and only one mouth; two eyes and only one mouth.
You are intended and directed to use them(EACH!!!!!) twice as much.
Whatever it is you want, no matter what field or interest of human life, if you are interested, more, if you have a deep need to do it, be it, have it, or experience it at world-class level, you have two and only two choices.
1) You can use trial and error, the oldest method on earth. Observe what works, what doesn't work, then make the appropriate corrections along the way.
As long as you are following the only two vital rules of life - making even one tenth of one percent's worth of improvement each time.
and -- making sure that there IS a next time. Amended repetition is the definition of skill.
Or
2) Identify at least 10 to 100 people doing it at world class already. Mimic their actual words and actions.
In both cases you are guaranteed success, faster, stronger and deeper, than by any other methods discovered or developed by Womankind or Mankind these past 58 centuries.

Hopefully, it doesn't require a degree in calculus or physics to understand that both of these methods are strong and certain, and that one of them is faster than the other.
No other point is submitted for discussion here: one of them is distinctly faster than the other.
Even the act of duplicating the words and specific motions of world-class practitioners and performers is decided by one of these same two methods:
1) Find fifty or a hundred expert practitioners and performers,
2) Find someone or some organization who already has found a hundred (or more) individuals at the world-class level.
That's it. Two choices. Either use one of them, or continue to be mediocre. You want to play funny word games, you could say there's a third choice: mix and match the two of these omnipotent techniques.



See it! Write it! Ask for it!

As a master does, or a millionaire; champion or billionaire

From a fun wedding or a better job, directing a movie or increasing your income just 50% within 100 days: no matter WHAT it is you want, knowing exactly WHY you want it, describing in detail exactly what you want, you are accomplishing at least 20 percent of the job. Now you only have 80 steps left - which we further reduce using high-powered shortcuts - your PowerGems.
What possible sense is there in fighting the simple application of mathematics?
If thirty-five and forty world-class masters or billionaires aren't enough to make each of us just shut up and listen, what about hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of world-class masters and millionaires, champions and billionaires, one at a time? Hearing the same methods over and over again has got to get through even the thickest mind; it's surely hoped that you're less intransigent than the average blockhead. The only possible way we know is based almost exclusively on what you do in the next 25 - 100 hours of your life. It will show so clearly whether or not you're willing to learn from the mouths of those who are already doing it at record-breaking levels.

You can actually change your life in the next 5 minutes!!! Put up or shut up. Describe, out loud & in writing, precisely what you most want in life. Begin creating a plan by writing out who can help you, & what 5 smaller steps you'd have to take in order to do or obtain it. You'll actually get energized just by writing down precisely why you want it. Not a generalized answer: a specific answer.

It's really true: you can change your life so dramatically, so far beyond anything you have believed about yourself up until now, and you can alter and sweeten your path in the next 5 minutes, not by talking about what you know... rather, by USING what you know. Talk less; do more: it's the only way we'll ever know who you are.

It's positively amazing how much, and how little, we really understand For example, most people who hear the three words "Write why not," even when they know that there's a "w" in front of the first word, "Write why not?" those 3 words sound perhaps unintelligible.

You understand the words, not necessarily their meaning. Most people who hear the three words "
Write why not," even when told that there's a "w" in front of the first word, "Write" will tell you that this sounds unintelligible. As with all wisdom, reviewing a gem repeatedly yields ever-increasing results.

One thing is certain. Use of these 3 words in the next few minutes can and will radically alter the remainder of your life. Significant, long lasting changes possible within a day or two, at most, a full week or two and beyond. Write why not

Such a wonderful shortcut, partly because it produces over and over again at accelerated speeds, literally without limit. the long-term, Use of these three words comprise not merely a bit of wisdom; much more importantly, one of the most useful techniques you will ever encounter in your life for obtaining more health or money or sex or understanding or whatever else you might want this week, this month, this year.

Write why not

It all begins with stating, out loud, in the next ten seconds what it is you'd most like.
No other talking, no thinking of anything else. Go ahead, say it out loud right now.
Excellent. You're now one fifth of the way to achieving it. No joke, no exaggeration.

Then, we need to list the reasons why we don't have it now... the specific obstacles.

Pareto's Principle reminds us that 80% of all results come from 20% of the efforts. Identifying specifically what is desired is apparently too difficult for the limited minds of most of us. It's the single toughest step, even tougher than taking step one, which accounts for another full 5% of the total task, which is identifying the obstacles to clear.

You need not believe what you're reading. If you're not living your life's happiest possible potential, your opinion is clearly way off base. This means you need to grasp a better, more comprehensive understanding of why you have two ears and only one mouth; two eyes and only one mouth.
If you're not getting it from the horse's mouth, it's reasonable to figure you're getting it from the wrong end of the horse. Proof? Take a look, and be honest, since no one knows but you and I, hm? Perhaps you have more sex than your neighbor does, but he or she (who knows these days?) may have better musical skills, or more money, or more exciting dawns. If you have it all, then why are you reading this unless it's to find faster, more powerful methods for getting where you want? Faster, that is, than you're getting there now, correct? If there's even one dream left in you that you haven't achieved, you'd be smart to simply duplicate the words and actions of those who have already repeatedly done what you want to do or have.

There is no faster route available, or currently conceivable, than duplicating the trails already blazed, true or not?

These people are by far the best possessors of shortcuts. Whether it took them ten, fifteen, even twenty years to find out what worked and didn't work for them, you get to avoid the majority of a trial and error process… because you can make use of their trial and error process. Do you understand how intensely powerful this is as a shortcut?
The basic act of identifying obstacles represents one of the three great powers of all human beings. The moment you commit the obstacles to paper, THEY SHRINK!!!

Please, please; don't tell us you know how true and how powerful this is: make use of it immediately!! Not only do they shrink, they are instantly matched by ideas that start popping up on how to resolve each one, one at a time.

How funny, when people think they understand something, not realizing there is inevitably a second, and even a third more profitable meaning to every intelligent statement that a human being can utter. It applies to all wisdom.

As for "
write why not;" it's simple, and powerful, and here's how it works.
If there is anything on this planet it would please you to have or do in the next few days, weeks, or months, one thing that would really please you that you're not now experiencing, just hush up and write why not; why you don't have it now or why you think you can't have it.


You're invited to tap into this hugely effective technique. Write why not. What are the obstacles? Why isn't it happening in your life? Why not? Why don't you have it?
Whatever the answer is, put it on paper. Write why not

If there's something in life that you want but don't have, there are one or more identifiable things that are preventing you from actually smelling it, having it seeing it, tasting it, playing it, painting it, feeling it, hearing it, whatever. Write down the one or more identifiable things that are preventing you from having it. Stop yammering and do it now. Write why not

This makes it much easier to focus on solving them, or resolving them, one by one, until you achieve it. It's so simple that we fail to see the forest for the trees. Knowing it means little until you're doing it. When you write why not, you are writing a map. You've never in your life arrived at any intentional destination without a map in your head or hands, or somebody else's.


There's no such thing as an accident, and the sooner you understand that the better off you are. A car collision is no accident: it is the result of not looking, or going too fast, or responding too slowly, or a hundred other excuses. There is only one reason for failure in anything. It is called insufficient effort. Everything else is an excuse.

You don't get to the milk store without creating an intentional, mental map of using your legs to carry you to your car, getting into the car, turning on the engine, and the thousand actions involved in getting there. Every one of these individual tasks is the result of uncountable millions and millions and millions of separate electrical instructions, all mapped out in our head.
We're so good at these little skills that we take them for granted.

That they are little skills doesn't change the fact that they're highly technical, complicated skills, accomplished ONLY through the use of millions and millions and millions and even hundreds of millions and more hundreds of millions of intensely sophisticated neurons and muscles and bones and fingers and feet and eyeballs and ears and toes and so much more.

Use this tiny skill immediately in order to begin producing immediate results.

Write why not

.When we see our obstacles in writing, and then go back to the mental image that was created the moment you said out loud what you want, you are stimulated to make action today, and then take action today that will bring you one and two and three steps closer than where you're at right now in relation to what it is you want.

Let me repeat: when we see our obstacles written down, and then connect them to the mental picture of having it already, it constitutes an actual stimulus to resolving those obstacles, so that you can get the feeling you get in that mental video. It's so simple to begin here, and get faster fruit. Stop talking. Please, don't tell us what you can do. Show us what you can do. Better yet, show the most important face you'll ever see in any mirror
.
Write why not
Who knows? Maybe it'll even take you to creating a written list of people and agencies that can help you to make it happen. Either way, we'll know today, won't we? We already know that every significant or difficult journey requires a written plan, called 'a map.'

We already understand that no decent home can be built without a written plan, called 'a blueprint,' correct?

Zig Ziglar used to point out that every great wedding must first be plotted and planned on paper, from lists of food, drink, flowers, etc... to the invitations and RSVP's. He suggested, "Maybe that's why weddings tend to be so successful, and marriages tend to be so unsuccessful: one is planned, in writing; the other is not.

Ultimately, we have to know where we're going if we want and intend to get there. Would any of us argue this point in a debate?

In truth, it's vital to the journey, and ultimate destination of, every human life... ... to plan it out properly, and in writing.
You see, my friend, when we don't know precisely where we're going, we'll most probably end up somewhere else, won't we? So please, for your sake, go ahead... write why not.

Critics via Teddy Roosevelt




"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again because there is no effort without error and shortcomings, who knows the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows in the end the high achievement of triumph and who at worst, if he fails while daring greatly, knows his place shall never be with those timid and cold souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Alfred, the man behind Alkit Camera, was family photographer for President Roosevelt's cousin, FDR, for many years. At Hyde Park, NY, presidential estate, you see photos that communicate what a good photographer sees, beyond the obvious. Young, tall, skinny, energetically gifted with an honest soul, Al had that rarest of accents: the one that physically delights your ears. By the time FDR became President, Al's fortunes were secured. He and a close friend, Armand Hammer, made several trips per year into the center of then-communist U.S.S.R. in days of great peril to help thousands and thousands of Russia's poor. Many of them gave over to his trust lifetime accumulations of a handful of precious rubles, often kept buried underground for upwards of thirty years. He made countless trips to banks in NY, opening incredible numbers of bank accounts for children and grandchildren whom it was hoped would eventually escape Russia. For eighty years of dictatorship, emigration was difficult or forbidden to most, particularly Jewish people. His charity knew no sociological or ethnical limits. He was one of life's helpers.
His presidential access influenced his income greatly. Although providing his wife and cherished only child, Laurel, with a Sutton Place-dignified life and style, they were never spoiled. His charities and personal philanthropy quietly became legendary. When he spoke, your ears felt as they'd been fed ear candy; a musical, truly unique accent.
In the course of his travels, he did countless quiet favors behind the Iron Curtain for the U.S. State Department. There were one or two other official agencies that benefited from his intimacy with back doors and his refusal to display fear to the dreaded, and rightly so, KGB.
Legend has it that his daughter Laurel, who personified the best kind of people we produce, people of rich service, could not resist the blandishments and smooth patter of Eddie Buchbinder, a slightly Jewish John Gotti-wannabe at a time when Gotti was in fifth grade.
By the time that the son-in-law had power of attorney twenty-five years later, he was allegedly blackmailing his father-in-law, who'd just been voted "Man of the Year" by his cherished comrades in the American camera industry. The son-in-law threatened to leave Alfred's daughter and grandchildren with nothing if Al didn't co-sign a one-million dollar loan for Eddie to open his own set of camera shops. Never mind that Eddie had gone from a Marine Corp paycheck to running his father-in-law's lucrative New York chain, and receiving a piece of every dollar coming in. He'd gone from a modest life to parking his own Rolls Royce in the driveway of his million-dollar home.

When Alfred firmly said "Sorry, no," Eddie apparently decided to use his never-suspended power of attorney, which had been necessary with the great man travelling to Eastern Europe so often. Mr. Buchbinder stocked his new Manhattan camera store with upwards of a million dollars' worth of photographic specialty items using Al Sleschinger's line of credit, knowing that he, Eddie, would never repay a dime.

Motivated by instincts baser than a parent hopes for, even when his Ferrari hit a tree on Long Island's Gold Coast in the rain at high speed he gave no thought to assay his lifestyle against the cost to others. He never repented, at least outwardly, and his wife never acknowledged his profundity of anti-connubial activities. Real life can be more of a soap opera than a daytime serial tv show.

After seven decades of service, joy, and giving, it broke Alfred's heart to have been exposed to such evil; broke his heart, and his health, leading to a too-early demise.

Thankfully, his legendary generosity and love of his fellow man live on far past his painful end. The NY Times obituary for Al Sleschiger while full of praise, could hardly have expressed how many people were positively touched and helped by the amazing "Uncle Al." The crowds who jammed Riverside Chapel in Manhattan certainly did, each with a warm story, a warmer memory. From the arts he championed, to family he championed, he won without ever competing.

For all the challenges & obstacles that had to be overcome by that toothpick-skinny immigrant, he made good, and left behind a legacy of giving and service, which live on richly through his daughter Laurel's life, and those he touched again and again. Like his dear friend Franklin Roosevelt, he simply refused to give in to those many early critics. As a result, he lived the life of a winner, a champion, a true role model for the rest of us.

Just as his wife Kitty made the decision to continue their good works of philanthropy and cultural patronage, the wonder of men like Alfred Sleschinger, role models, came through again, as at least one of Alfred's grandchildren has grown up to be an excellent human being, spouse, and parent. The great man, and his greater wife, live on, shining.
Eight million naked faces in the city.
Every one of them with a story, a tapestry of dramatic events. How we will also applaud YOU the day, week, month and year that you, too, take the actions that provide both short-term and eternal benefit, to yourself... ...and to those around you.
