Money is the worst thing to save
Today I watch a video by Robert Kiyosaki (below) which I really think you should watch.
I know that I have been banging on about this for a long time, but the more we realise that money is an illusion with no real value, the better prepared we can be to become truly free and wealthy.
You see when you realise that money has no real value, then you start to save assets that do have value instead of believing the illusion. Why do you think that the banks look to secure the money they lend against assets? Simply because the money has not value without the assets attached!
So when you borrow money against your home, a car, jewellery etc, you are creating the value in the money. Isn't it better therefore to accumulate the assets instead of the money?
Ways to do this are to buy assets that are attached to real "money" things like gold, silver, platinum, property etc.
One thing to bare in mind is that the Swiss Franc is currently still on the gold standard, so a Swiss Franc bank account wouldn't be a bad idea.
Watch this video and let me know your thoughts.

The Ultimate Success System
About 5 years ago I went on 3 different time management workshops, all of which recommended completely different methods of “managing time”. Each had some good point and each had bits missing. I also reviewed a number of goal setting books and workshops I had been on, again they were all similar, but also each had bits missing.

Definitely a system worth trying
As I studied these systems and read loads of book I realised that the bits that were missing in each of the systems were different. Also several of them had parts to the plan that we completely unnecessary.
This kind of explained to me why I had failed to achieve so many of the goals I had set over the previous years. I knew in that moment that I had all the knowledge I needed to set goals and achieve them, just that it was spread across multiple sources.
I then set about distilling down the best information and creating a system that would ensure that the goals are achieve.
It worked! I started achieving every goal I set, I decided on the goal, broke it down and then planned my activities to ensure the goal could only succeed and be realised.
I then set goals I thought would be the right goals to set and sure enough I got them every time. Then I started to understand a saying I had heard so many times: “I climbed the ladder of success only to find it was leaning against the wrong wall.”
Something had to change, I was “Successful” and yet I was unhappy. Then I was sent a goal setting process that changed the way I looked at my life and the goals I had been setting and realised that happiness is something that must come into every goal setting exercise, without it you are achieving things but slowly dying inside.
Then I created a new goal setting system that included all aspects of my life, not just work and the traditional ideas of “Success”. I also included the concept of happy outcomes instead of goals, with the most important emphasis on the question why?
Now the entire process is complete and the happy outcomes are so amazing that you cannot fail to realise your dreams.
Take a look at this outstanding system and make your life one of true success instead of frustration.

What is the key to massive financial success?
One of the biggest questions most people ask is what can I do to make loads of money on the Internet? And it is a question that many “gurus” charge vast amounts of money giving the answer. But the simple truth is that the answer to that question can be found everywhere you look.
Look in your own town at the businesses that make the most money, the ones that have the most customers and you will see that the secret to the success is in selling small items that people really want for a small price. This is the principle that has made Wal-Mart the largest supermarket chain and why cheap shops have the most customers.
When I saw this I realised why so many newbie internet marketers are struggling and why I had been frustrated by small conversion rates on my sites. I had sites with great products, I just couldn't get the conversion rate up above about 3%. Then I discovered a simple principle:
“Make the price a no-brainer”
The idea is to set the price at a level where everyone buys and no one is disappointed. This means that you have a conversion rate close to 100%, how does that convert into real world money?
Imagine you had a product you were selling at $27 and you were converting at 3%, you would earn $81 for every 100 visitor. Now imagine you change the price to $7 and you conversion rate goes up to 50%. Now you are making $350 for every 100 visitors. So you see the value of that site has now gone up 432%!!! and nothing has changed except that the price is cheaper.
But what is the right price?
The best way to find the right price is to experiment, try different prices and see what results you get. But there are a couple of things that you should consider:
Any price in double figures prompts the question “do I need this?” which can scupper your sale immediately.
Any price below $5, tends to be dismissed as not worth it.
There is a psychological acceptance of prices ending in a 7, so a price tag of $7 would seem to be the best place to start. But as I said before, test your own product and see what happens.
To see an example of how this works, take a look at this "mini-site"
The principle is so simple, and yet we can see how effective it is throughout the world.
