</ul>
<p>Our goals for the next year include:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/MAN-SHADOW-DOLLAR-SIGN.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-558 aligncenter" title="MAN SHADOW DOLLAR SIGN" src="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/MAN-SHADOW-DOLLAR-SIGN.jpg" alt="" width="416" height="303" /></a></p>

<p>At least once in your life&#8211;maybe even once a week or once a day for that matter&#8211;you have fantasized about coming into a lot of money. What would you do if you were worth millions or even billions? Believe it or not there are millionaires and billionaires among us who masquerade as relatively normal, run-of-the-mill people. Take a peek at some of the most frugal wealthy people in the world.</p>
<p><strong>Warren Buffett </strong><br />
Millions of people read Buffett&#8217;s books and follow his firm <strong>Berkshire </strong><strong>Hathaway</strong>&#8217;s ( BRK - news - people ) every move. But the real secret to Buffett&#8217;s personal fortune may be his penchant for frugality. Buffett, who is worth an estimated $47 billion, eschews opulent homes and luxury items. He still lives in a modest home in Omaha, Neb., which he purchased for just $31,500 more than 50 years ago. Although he&#8217;s dined in the best restaurants around the globe, given the choice he would opt for a good burger and fries accompanied by a cold cherry Coke. When asked why he doesn&#8217;t own a yacht, he responded &#8220;Most toys are just a pain in the neck.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Carlos Slim </strong><br />
While most of the world is very familiar with Bill Gates, the name Carlos Slim rarely rings a bell. But it&#8217;s a name worth knowing. Slim, who is a native of Mexico, was just named the world&#8217;s richest billionaire&#8211;that&#8217;s right, richer than the überfamous<a href="http://finapps.forbes.com/finapps/jsp/finance/compinfo/CIAtAGlance.jsp?tkr=MSFT"><strong></strong></a> founder. Slim is worth more than $53 billion, and while he could afford the world&#8217;s most extravagant luxuries, he rarely indulges. He, like Buffett, doesn&#8217;t own a yacht or plane, and he has lived in the same home for over 40 years.</p>
<p><strong>Ingvar Kamprad </strong><br />
The founder of the Swedish furniture phenomenon Ikea struck success with affordable, assemble-it-yourself furniture. For Kamprad, figuring out how to save money isn&#8217;t just for his customers, it&#8217;s a high personal value. He&#8217;s been quoted as saying &#8220;Ikea people do not drive flashy cars or stay at luxury hotels.&#8221; That goes for the founder as well. He flies coach for business, and when he needs to get around town locally he either takes the bus or will head out in his 15-year-old Volvo 240 GL.</p>
<p><strong>Chuck Feeney </strong><br />
Growing up in the wake of The Depression as an Irish-American probably has something to do with Feeney&#8217;s frugality. With a personal motto of &#8220;I set out to work hard, not get rich,&#8221; the co-founder of Duty Free Shoppers has quietly become a billionaire but even more secretively given almost all of it away through his foundation, Atlantic Philanthropies. In addition to giving more than $600 million to his alma mater Cornell University, he has given billions to schools, research departments and hospitals.</p>
<p>Loath to spend if he doesn&#8217;t have to, Feeney beats both Buffett and Kamprad in the donation category, giving out less grants than only Ford and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations. A frequent user of public transportation, Feeney flies economy class, buys clothes from retail stores, and does not waste money on an extensive shoes closet, stating &#8220;you can only wear one pair of shoes at a time&#8221;. He raised his children in the same way; making them work the same normal summer jobs as most teens.</p>
<p><strong>Frederik Meijer </strong><br />
If you live in the Midwest chances are good that you shop at Meijer&#8217;s chain of grocery stores. Meijer is worth more than $5 billion and nearly half of that was amassed when everyone else was watching their net worth drop in 2009. Like Buffett he buys reasonably-priced cars and drives them until they die, and like Kamprad he chooses affordable motels when on travel for work. Also, like Chuck Feeney, rather than carelessly spending his wealth Mr. Meijer is focused on the good that it can provide to the community.</p>
<p><strong>The Bottom Line </strong><br />
The dirty little secret of some of the world&#8217;s wealthiest people is that they rarely act like it. Instead of over-the-top spending, they&#8217;re busy figuring out how to save and invest to have that much more in the future. It&#8217;s a habit you might want to consider in order to build up your own little storehouse of cash.</p>

<p><strong>Most sales people receive some portion</strong> of their  remuneration based on the success of their sales effort. For some, they  operate on 100% commission. And of course this is a powerful incentive  to improve. Their connection to sales is obvious.</p>
<p><strong>What about  other people in your organisation?</strong> The receptionist. The delivery  driver. The accounts clerk. In a small business, pretty much everyone  will talk to your customers. But they probably don&#8217;t consider themselves  in sales.</p>
<p>Whether they like it or not, they are in sales. And  they are on commission too. After all, if sales go down dramatically, or  they cause you to lose an important customer, their whole pay packet  (and job) is at risk.</p>
<p>Do your <strong>non-sales staff</strong> see the  connection between what they do and sales? Every customer contact in  your business with anyone in it is a moment of truth for your business.  Does everyone in your business know that they are in sales, and that  everyone in your business Works on Commission?</p>
<p>So why not make  even some small portion of their package visibly dependent on sales so  that every time they answer the phone, <strong>they KNOW they are Working on  Commission</strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<pre>Hi again

<strong>DEVELOPING A POSITIVE MINDSET</strong>

The following is a statement from a serious money making person -<strong> Jon</strong>
It says it all. Take note and learn.
My footnote at the end

<strong>QUOTE</strong>

I've been ranting and raving lately about the
importance of your wealth DNA.
<a href="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/pile-cash-needs-cropping.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-518" title="pile cash needs cropping" src="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/pile-cash-needs-cropping-300x50.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="50" /></a>
Why is it such a big deal?

I bump into so many individuals, especially at
seminars and when I get to talk to them, it's
obvious to me that no matter how specific you
layout a strategy, you just know they're never
going to be successful.
<a href="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/men-shake-hands-city.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-520" title="men shake hands city" src="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/men-shake-hands-city.jpg" alt="" width="173" height="240" /></a>

How do I know?

It's in the way they speak and the language they
use.

They generally fall into 3 categories. You might
think that this bit doesn't relate to you, but
let's see.

<strong>The first question that I ask them is, what is
that has stopped you in creating more success in
your life so far?</strong>

The overwhelming answer is that they start
talking about events or other individuals who
have somehow controlled their destiny.

They're playing what I call the "blame-game".

They'll blame the economy, the government, the
stock market, their broker, a real estate agent,
a former business partner, their ex-wife, you
get the drift...
<a href="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/panic-attack-man.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-521" title="panic attack man" src="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/panic-attack-man.jpg" alt="" width="80" height="120" /></a>

You'll never become wealthy if you fall into
this category.

You have to take 100% responsibility of where
you are at right now. You'll never be able to
move forward if you don't accept this.

Here's an interesting story. I once told this to
someone, (I wont mention who) and they
aggressively came back at me with...

"So if I'm walking down the street and a brick
falls on my head, it's my fault?"

No, it's not your fault... But how you respond
to the event is your choice.

Let me ask you this, do you have any friends or
family that have been on workcover for 5 years,
waiting for payout?

Now don't get me wrong, of course injuries
happen, but your attitude to how you respond to
events that seem challenging at the time is so
important when you're building a foundation for
wealth.

<strong>The next attitude of mediocrity is
"justification".</strong>

If you're not blaming, you are usually
justifying your situation in some shape or form.

I've had people say to me, "Money is not really
important to me."

Guess what... These guys are usually broke.
Guaranteed.

Another way of justifying their lack of money
position, they generally use dumb comparisons
like, "Money is not as important as love" or
"Money is not as important as your health."

Isn't that dumb? It's like you can only have one
or the other. I know you can have both or all
three.

<strong>The next dumb attitude is complaining.</strong>

In fact, this is the worst thing you can do,
guaranteed to keep you broke, and it gets even
worse... Your health will suffer as well.

I'm a big believer in what you focus on expands.
Read that again... It's THAT powerful.

When you're whining, moaning and complaining,
the only likely outcome is that you're going to
get more of the same crap that you're
complaining about.

When you're complaining, you become a living,
breathing crap-magnet.

Have you ever met a rich person who bitches and
moans all day long.
<a href="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/moneymanwomanstanding.gif"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-522" title="moneymanwomanstanding" src="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/moneymanwomanstanding.gif" alt="" width="173" height="233" /></a>
<em><strong>THINK POSITIVE ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK</strong></em>

Here's some homework for you that could
potentially give you some instant results in
your life.

Are you suffering from a little bit or a lot of
the above "wealth-stealing" principles?

You might say to me that, nup, you don't do any
of the above.

Here's a challenge for you...

For the next 7 days, try this. Don't blame,
justify or complain... No matter what.

Look at every experience and say to yourself,

"Mmmm.... What have I done to create this?"
(Responsibility)

"What's my positive response? If at all..."

"What can I learn from this situation that will
be useful to me?"

See how you go... I bet you it's not going to be
easy. But if you take up the challenge, you're
going to be amazed at the insights and
transformations that will start to appear.

...And remember, it's nothing more than taking
100% responsibility of your own life.

Regards - Jon

Some people have not got a life.
They are so busy complaining that life passes them by
Scared to take risks and explore opportunities
or better still create opportunities.
They are always victims..HA-HA-HA
Get a grip and crush that mentality or
forever walk in someone elses shadow
YOU CAN GET JUST ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANTY IN LIFE -
ENGAGE A POSITIVE MINDSET

<li style="text-align: center;"><strong>Be Your Own Boss &#8211; Build a Successful Business, Not Just an Income Stream</strong></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0522bti_moneypile.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-515" title="0522bti_moneypile" src="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/0522bti_moneypile.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="90" /></a><br />
</strong></li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Being     an employee for life is not likely to make you wealthy. Working for     someone else only makes the employer richer. Unfortunately, the     &#8217;system&#8217; is not designed to make you wealthy.Being     your own boss and building a successful business will enable you to     earn more money and create wealth than you ever could by working at a     &#8216;job&#8217;. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard the saying &#8211; &#8216;job&#8217; stands for &#8216;just over     broke&#8217;.
<p>Building a successful     business, a lifestyle freedom business, allows you to have independence     and determine your own destiny. You set your own hours, financial,     business and growth goals, and time for leisure.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s     take Internet Marketing for example &#8211; it allows you to set up a     business relatively quickly with little expense, without overheads, and     often from the comfort of your own home office.</p>
<p>Like     all entrepreneurs who have the guts to take control of their future,     you need to decide which way is the right way to go. You are the only     person you can rely on to get it started and make it happen.</p>
<p>Success     in business is not rocket science. It&#8217;s not as difficult as some will     have you believe. It takes knowing the difference between what does and     doesn&#8217;t work.</p>
<p>Believe me, building     a successful business is one of the most rewarding things you can do.     Had I known years ago where my business journey would take me, I     probably would have arrived at where my business is now much sooner.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some more tips:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When         starting a business, most people focus on generating income and lose         sight of their long-term goal of having a successful and &#8217;sustainable&#8217;         business that will provide freedom, independence, wealth and support         many years into the future. Keep focused on building a long-term asset.</li>
<li>Take         one idea and build it up until it is successful. Then go back and         decide on what to do next. Keep your focus to the finish line.</li>
<li>The         no.1 question is &#8211; where can I win? Position yourself in a place where         you&#8217;re going to win. Look for the gaps in the market and the market in         the gaps.</li>
<li>Listen to the         marketplace. Listening is one of the greatest skills an entrepreneur         can acquire. This, plus creatively and quickly satisfying the need/s in         the marketplace is the secret formula to creating money on demand.</li>
<li>Get         clued up on how to build a successful business. Don&#8217;t stay clueless. If         you find you&#8217;re missing a key piece or pieces of information to get         your plan going, go get that information. Go in search of what&#8217;s         missing.</li>
<li>Invest in your financial and business literacy.</li>
<li>Become         an avid observer of the things that propel some entrepreneurs to create         major success while others do nothing but struggle.</li>
<li>Then         take the next step &#8211; it&#8217;s not enough just to keep learning, you must         Take Action, Massive Action. Yes, get the knowledge, but then promptly         put it to use. Freedom comes from taking action. Deal with the         information overload and move forward one-step at a time.</li>
<li>Focus on progress rather than perfection. Just do it! It&#8217;s exhilarating</li>
</ul>
</li>

<p>I just got back from a massive weekend in Sydney.</p>
<p>No it&#8217;s not what you are thinking, my party days are over, I was at the Global Real Estate Investor seminar.</p>

<p>Yes I really mean that, I love what I do.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s not why I&#8217;m writing to you today, I want to tell you about a person I met at the seminar on the weekend.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s call him, &#8220;The Accidental Millionaire.&#8221;</p>
<p>That&#8217;s one thing I love about my business, I get the opportunity to meet incredibly interesting people at events.</p>

<p>A young gentleman caught my attention as I was speaking to a group of people on one of the breaks.</p>
<p>He came up to me and just handed me a glass of water.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/man-drinks-water.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-507" title="man drinks water" src="http://www.acbocallcentre.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/man-drinks-water.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="92" /></a></p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t say much, I think it was along the lines of, &#8220;Looks like you might need this&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>He didn&#8217;t stay to be part of the group, he just handed me the glass of water and moved on.</p>
<p>At the lunchtime break I saw him walking my way and I simply stopped him to say, &#8220;Thank you for the glass water.&#8221;</p>
<p>He passed it off as being a small act of &#8220;nothing special&#8221; but then went on to ask me whether I had 10 minutes to spend with him, he wanted to run something by me.</p>
<p>Now, I&#8217;ve learnt a long time ago to never pre-judge anybody. You might think it&#8217;s quite easy to do but I can assure you it is in fact very difficult, and in some cases almost impossible.</p>
<p>To paint a picture for you, this guy was casually dressed, however I noticed that his clothes were very Italian-designer orientated. In other words, they looked expensive.</p>
<p>First, he complimented me on the event and the content, and then went on to tell me that he was serious about investing in the US market &#8211; but did not want to buy one house at the time, he wanted t o buy 100-200 houses all at once. He referred to the speakers comments about how large investors would buy direct from the banks at wholesale for deep discounts and quickly turn them around for huge profits.</p>
<p>Of course this immediately caught my attention and I started wondering who this guy was&#8230; and what has he done to put himself in a position to simply pull out big figures like that.</p>
<p>I wanted to find out if he was serious or just big-noting himself.</p>
<p>I told him I was impressed with his ambition and ability to think big, as well as putting it out there straight away.</p>
<p>Anyway, he told me that his current business was going great-guns and turning over in excess of $30 million per annum with a significant and healthy profit.</p>
<p>This guy is what I call a player.</p>
<p>It was obvious to him from what he had heard at the seminar that the US market was a big opportunity to make some very big returns on his capital and he was not just going to dabble with this &#8211; he was going to be very serious and strategic.</p>
<p>He openly told me that he had millions to invest and he was ready to go right now. I was more curious than ever to find out a little bit about his background.</p>
<p>It turns out that this guy is a massive fan of personal development and self-improvement philosophy. He was able to recite concepts and ideas from some personal development greats such as David Schwartz, the author of The Magic of Thinking Big (the first book he ever read), Napoleon Hill of  Think and Grow Rich&#8230; Zig Ziglar&#8230;.. Jim Rohn&#8230;.. Anthony Robbins&#8230;.. Winston Churchill&#8230;. etc, etc, etc.</p>
<p>All of these success greats had great impact upon his journey to significant wealth.</p>
<p>I wanted to dig deeper into his psychology and find out what made him so successful.</p>
<p>Now this guy is turning over $30 million and he says to me that he didn&#8217;t actually feel as though he was hugely successful, he was just taking advantage of the opportunities that were being presented to him.</p>
<p>I think that&#8217;s very instructive, anybody from the outside looking in would definitely see him as a success, however he just saw himself as a person of action and taking advantage of opportunity&#8230; Interesting.</p>
<p>I wanted more specifics, so I asked him for 3 reasons that he thought had made him achieve the results that he had achieved&#8230;</p>
<p>He said three things&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li>The ability to think big.</li>
<li>The burning desire.</li>
<li>Outcome driven.</li>
</ol>
<p>I was curious about one thing&#8230; He didn&#8217;t mention his ability to take massive action. I quizzed him about this&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Oh!&#8221; he said. &#8220;That comes naturally to me, I didn&#8217;t even think of that&#8230; But now that you mention it, I suppose that plays a big part in what I do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now this is very instructive, and many millionaires such as this guy do this subconsciously&#8230; Meaning they don&#8217;t really know they&#8217;re doing it. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s sometimes really difficult for a wealthy person to explain what makes them successful.</p>
<p>He has gotten himself to the stage where taking action is normal, natural and simply part of his process.</p>
<p>This is a big lesson for anyone who wants to be rich, wealthy and happy. Your actions have to become part of what you do daily, without thinking about it.</p>
<p>All this most likely developed for this guy during his time that he spent with the self-improvement greats &#8211; which obviously changed his psychology greatly.<strong><br />
There are big lessons here, let me summarise them for you&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Never pre-judge&#8230; Be curious about the people that you interact with. You never know who you might be talking to.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Add value&#8230; His gesture of giving me a glass of water was small in the scheme of things, but how often do people do that?</strong></li>
<li><strong>Mindset&#8230; It&#8217;s amazing that most millionaires have similar stories of learning from the great masters of the past.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The ability to think big&#8230; If you&#8217;re going to think, why not think big?</strong></li>
<li><strong>Burning desire&#8230; This is what underpins the philosophy of &#8220;Failure is not an option&#8230; Just a learning experience.&#8221;</strong></li>
<li><strong>Outcome driven&#8230; You&#8217;ll always find a way if you&#8217;re outcome-driven. You wont stop until you&#8217;ve reached your goal.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Action-orientated&#8230; Turn the often difficult task of action into something that comes naturally, easily and effortlessly.</strong></li>
</ul>

So there you have it, a chance meeting with a self-proclaimed accidental millionaire.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>PS &#8211; Things happen for a reason.</strong></p>
