IGNITE YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT 
Many often say, “I’m not interested in learning about business. It is a subject that does not interest me.” 
Yet they fail to see that by saying that, they become slaves to money, working for money, having money 
dictate the financial boundaries of their lives, living frugally and within their means, instead of investing 
a little time, following a plan, and having money work for them. 
One of the reasons the 90/10 rule of money, 10% of people always make 90% of the money, holds true 
is because most people spend their lives seeking more security instead of seeking more business skills. 
The more business skills you have the more abundance you will have in your life. The more a person 
seeks security, the less they can see of the opportunities that abound. 
I have nothing against people who look for jobs, in fact many entrepreneurs started off in employment. 
However the number one rule in becoming an entrepreneur is: “Never take a job for money; take a job 
only for the long-term skills you will learn.” The biggest mistake people make is that they work too hard 
for their money. 
Most people do not get ahead financially because when they need more money, they take a part-time 
job. If you really want to get ahead, you need to keep their day job, if necessary, and start a part-time 
business. I see so many people eager to venture into business and by virtue of reading this article, you 
are among them. 
I mention this point specifically because so many people today say to me such things as: 
1. “I have a great idea for a new product.” 
2. “You have to feel passionate about your product.” 
3. “I’m looking for the right product before I begin my business.” 
To these people, I generally say, “The world is filled with great ideas for new products. The world is also 
filled with existing great products. But the world is short of great business people. 
The primary reason in starting a business part-time is not so much to make a product great. The real 
reason for start a part-time business is to make you a great business person. Great products are a dime 
a dozen. But great businesspeople are rare and rich.” 
We will help you ignite your entrepreneurial spirit; once you find your entrepreneurial spirit, you will 
forever be able to take very ordinary ideas and turn them into extraordinary fortunes. Always remem-ber 
the world is filled with people with great ideas but very few people have great fortunes. 
To taking the leap.
