Have you ever heard the parable of the lumberjack who is too busy cutting down trees to stop and sharpen his axe? Or in the modern version, he’s too busy to pop in to the hardware store and pick up a new chainsaw – LOL!

Instead, he keeps hacking away with his blunt axe, building up a sweat, working hard but never getting anywhere.

Sometimes you have to actually stop what you are doing and take a look around at how you can be sharpening your axe.

It can be hard, I know from personal experience (I’ll tell you about that in a moment). Because, like the guy chopping away in the forest, whilst ever we are working up a sweat and seemingly taking action, we feel like we are doing something about achieving our goals, when in many cases, we really aren’t getting anywhere.

Instead, we are …

Too Busy Earning a Living to Make Any Money!

Do you ever feel like that?

Like you’re so bogged down with paying the bills that you aren’t making any progress towards financial independence. And retirement seems like a distant dream; something you definitely can’t afford any time soon.

When you are stuck financially, when you get focussed on the day-to-day challenges of earning a living, when you don’t have time to focus on the big picture, it can be overwhelming. Months and years can pass in what seems like the blink of an eye, all without you growing your wealth very much, if at all.

Running on the hamster wheel of a job or business is an uncomfortable place to be, filled with frustration, worry and even sleepless nights when money is tight.

Have you ever wondered if that’s all there is to life? Surely not! There is an easier, faster way…

I’d like to introduce you to 7 people who’ve been in exactly the same place as you – and they found a way out.

They each used 7 different strategies to get out of the rat race, and yet, they all had one thing in common: every one of them used a planned, proven, step-by-step system that took them from struggle street to financial independence.

Perhaps that’s the one thing you’ve been missing…perhaps you simply haven’t had the right system to propel you forward?

My Own Personal “Lumberjack” Experience

I mentioned the parable of the lumberjack – the person who keeps on chopping away even after their axe has gone blunt, because they can’t seem to stop long enough to improve their tools – because, in some ways, that story is a little too close to home.

You see, back in 2004 the Universal Events team was just 5 people working from an office in Milsons Point. Our marketing had been working brilliantly and we were growing rapidly (picture the guy in the forest chopping away!). The problem was that our systems (in other words, our “axe”) couldn’t cope. We were literally answering every request by telephone – every time anyone wanted to register for an event, yep, they had to call us on the phone!

As you can imagine, that was taking a lot of our time and we were struggling to keep up. That’s when my husband and business partner, Ken, introduced us to a new computer system that enabled us to do a lot more via the web, including taking online event registrations.

It revolutionised our business! Within 3 years we were the 13th fastest growing company in Australia!  And all because we found the right system, at the right time.

Would you rather find a way to really create wealth AND work less?

Just think of Ultimate Success Systems as a great way for you to do that… and it won’t cost you a cent. I am giving you the tickets right now!

The past is the past.

Whatever time you’ve spent making slow progress towards your financial independence, those months and years are gone. None of us can go back to the past. I believe we can only invest the present moment as wisely as possible.

So, instead of spending another day drifting, not really knowing whether you’re getting closer to financial independence or not, I encourage you to make the decision to accelerate your progress; to find a tested & proven system that’s right for you and start now before any more opportunities pass you by.

I look forward to seeing you at Ultimate Success Systems to share these powerful strategies with you!

To your success,

Karen Corban

As you continue on your journey, I wish you every success and I hope to see you at one of these very special LAST EVER Wealth Propulsion Intensive events.

In this video, filmed at a recent Wealth Propulsion Intensive, Chris Howard’s lead trainer, Johnnie Cass asks that question.

Because we are each here for a purpose.

Some people are really clear on what that purpose is, and others struggle their whole lives to find it or bring it into reality.

As Johnnie says in the video, some people live a life of daily inspiration, while others lead lives of quiet desperation.

Are you moving forward towards your goals and dreams or treading water? Does each day seem like Groundhog Day to you, you know the same thing over and over again?

Ever wondered how to break free of the same old routine? Imagine what it would be like to wake up inspired each day to do things you want to do rather than the things you have to do.

In this NEW video, Johnnie reveals there is a reason why you may not be moving forward in the accomplishment of your goals and dreams.

Whether it be financially or otherwise, the blockages you may be experiencing are likely because you haven’t yet discovered this one important thing.

To find out what that is, I’ve included Johnnie’s video from Wealth Propulsion Intensive for you a little further on in this message…

And if you’d like to be part of the LAST EVER Wealth Propulsion Intensive in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth, then join us in March and April for a whole weekend of insights, tools and strategies to help you build your own personal wealth propulsion system and start living on purpose and creating the wealth that you desire on every level of your life – It’s FREE -  I have two complimentary tickets for you valued at $1790.

Here’s to living a life filled with wealth, purpose and joy!

If you dream of one day becoming financially independent, paying cash for luxury cars, a new boat or buying your dream house…

…or maybe you just want to earn a few thousand dollars extra each month so you can escape the rat race, pay off your mortgage or retire comfortably… then this might be the solution for you.

Imagine this for a minute…

What if there was a way that you could potentially earn an extra $200 to $500 a day? Now imagine it took you less than an hour of work each day… something you could do in your spare time.

And what if the only thing you needed was a computer and an internet connection… giving you the freedom to be able to work from wherever you liked… whenever you liked.

If you’re like most people, it probably sounds too good to be true.

When I first heard about this method, I felt the same way. But as you’re going to discover, these results are very real… and very achievable… not necessarily by everyone, but I believe anyone who is willing to put in the work has the potential to make great money… even in their spare time.

So what is this method of making money that I’m talking about?

It’s called Forex Trading. And it’s fast becoming a favourite method of many people ‘in the know’ to create cash flow, build wealth and gain financial leverage.

What is Forex Trading? Basically, it is trading or swapping currency on the Foreign Exchange market.

Now, if you’re unfamiliar with Forex, you’re not alone. Even though it’s the biggest financial market in the world, most people are unfamiliar with the name, let alone with the fact that ordinary individuals like you and I can actually trade it and make money from it… (even fewer are aware that it is relatively easy to get started in this market).

So we decided to do something special.

We’re going to give 500 people a 7 part online training course featuring internationally renowned Trading Expert, Andrew Barnett, sharing everything you need to get started as a Forex Trader… Absolutely Free.

Click here to claim your complimentary 7-Part Forex Online Video Training Course

Here’s a sneak peak at just a few of the trainings and tools you’ll be receiving if you’re one of the lucky 500 to participate in this free 7 part online course:

1. The 6% method… How to potentially make 6% return on investment per month swapping the Aussie Dollar for other currencies such as the US Dollar
2. How to Calculate Forex Profits… Discover how much each trade can be potentially worth to you.
3. The secrets of currency tracking… Discover how to track currencies and where the potential profit opportunities lie
4. When to Buy and When to Sell… Understanding when to get in and out of a trade is one of the most important lessons you will learn
5. What Makes Currencies Go Up and Down… Why do currencies fluctuate and how can you use this knowledge to your advantage whether the currency is going up or down?

This offer is limited to just 500 people, so act now – click here to get started with your 7-Part Online Training Course right away.

The problem with most people is they simply don’t understand how to attract and keep money. And that’s why I’ve put together this video to give you a few guidelines I have learnt from the rich over the years. On this video you will discover…

1. Money is the barrier between where you are now and where you want to be, right? Wrong. This is the true barrier which is holding you back…
2. The two best ways to make REAL money
3. What the richest people in the world have in common (if you’re finding things tough right now, you’ll love this)
4. The only way to free ourselves from the bond of “traditional education” and the prison of old ideas and concepts
5. And much, much more

After you watch this video, please leave me a comment below and let me know what you have learned. I look forward to seeing you at Breakthrough to Success.

- Chris and I recently spent a fun day filming some new educational videos

It’s a fantastic concept.  Chris has studied hundreds of the world’s richest people and made an in-depth analysis of the characteristics each of these hugely successful people share in common.

And on page 62, there is a real gem, where Chris outlines 4 key elements of the New Entrepreneurial Mind, which I really wanted to share with you.

I hope it strikes a chord with you, as it has in me.  You see, whenever I have done these 4 things in my own life I have seen massive change and experienced unstoppable momentum.  Have you found this too?

It’s a great reminder for all of us…

Your New Entrepreneurial Mind
1.    Commit to following your passion
2.    Pour love into the creation of your dreams
3.    Fall in love with the process
4.    Create propulsion by having a heroic grander purpose of making a difference in the world.

Something for you to take into your day with you.

Whilst Carlos Slim Helu’s story is incredible, my interest was peaked by a billionaire who placed 616th on the list.

His name is Isaac Perlmutter.  In 1996 Isaac bought Marvel comics – home of the Marvel superheroes Spider-man, Iron Man and The Hulk – out of bankruptcy. Last year he sold the business to Disney for $US4 billion, personally receiving $800 million in cash and $590 million in Disney stock after the acquisition.

His personal fortune is listed by Forbes at $US1.6 billion.

Not bad for an immigrant from Israel who is said to have arrived in America with $US250 in his pocket.

There are a couple of key reasons this particular story jumped out at me from the list of 793 billionaires featured on the Forbes list this year:

1. Finding the Value

My good friend, Chris Howard, often says the entrepreneur creates wealth through two key ways – finding value and creating value.  In this instance, Isaac Perlmutter is a classic example of both.  He was able to see the value in the under-utilised Marvel asset, even though it was in bankruptcy.  That was the first part. And then, through his leadership he was able to grow the business, creating value through big-budget movies and other innovative means to the point where it was acquired by one of the most iconic entertainment companies on the planet.

2. Anything is possible

Everyday, in the work that I do, I hear stories from our participants of their complete personal transformation.  People going from broke to prosperous in a few short months, or turning their health around, or creating the careers and relationships they’d always dreamed of.  Everyday I am reminded that anything is possible.  And Isaac Perlmutter is another example.  An immigrant with $250 in his pocket can become one of the handful of billionaires on the planet.

I’ll say it again. Anything is possible.

It was an inspiring two and a half days and it has really got me thinking about this idea Chris put forward of each of us having our own personal Wealth Propulsion System.According to the guys at NASA, the word Propulsion comes from two Latin words: pro meaning before or forwards and pellere meaning to drive.  Which makes sense when you consider that Propulsion means to push forward or drive an object forward.  Interestingly, a propulsion system is a machine that produces the thrust to push an object forward.

What Chris was giving us this past weekend was an insight into the “machine” that produces the thrust forward in our own lives – our mindset.

That machine can be hampered by our social hypnosis and fear, or it can be fine-tuned through education and awareness to catapult us forward to live our passions and grow our wealth.

Once we get the machine working, forward movement becomes inevitable.  So many times we are doing the actions we think are needed for forward motion, but we are still operating under our old limiting beliefs and being driven by limiting values and motivations… and not getting anywhere!

The importance of investing in ourselves; in our mindset – the machine that produces the thrust forward in our lives, is not to be underestimated.

According to Chris, “a massive learning machine is a massive earning machine” and I believe that to be true.
