People ask me all the time how I can stay so optimistic and calm when there is so much negativity going on. Most of it comes from experience and the way my life has always been. Albert Einstein wrote in his book The World As I See It, “The most important decision we ever make is whether we believe we live in a friendly universe or a hostile universe.”

Living in a friendly universe doesn’t mean I don’t have problems that can not only come out of nowhere, but upset the apple cart. The trick is dealing with and resolving pressing problems and issues in a healthy manor. While I could write a book about it, I’d rather leave it to someone who already has. Besides, Brian Tracy’s experience and expertise in the field far exceed my own. I’ve read many of Brian’s books and while I’m still far from perfect, he’s a big reason I am who I am today.

When I saw this come in via e-mail, I thought of all the people who are in their own “Crunch Point” right now, and wanted to offer this as a possible solution to help break through those unexpected problems and obstacles that come our way.

Here’s what he said about Crunch Point. (And if it resonates with you, like it did me, there’s a link to buy the package at the end.)

Crunch Point

It’s like things that go bump in the night. Only in this case it’s about things that go bump in your life.

No matter what you do, unexpected problems are sure to pop up. One minute things are rolling along smoothly then BAM! All hell breaks loose.

The economy is kicking you below the belt. You just lost your job. It’s not fair! You’ve worked hard yet things just seem to happen when you least expect it.

Unexpected personal and financial problems can hit you or your business at any time. Suddenly you find yourself up against the wall. You feel like you went from 100 to 0 miles per hour in sixty seconds.

Now you’re in a crunch.

What you do next is vital if you want to survive your challenge. You can freak out. Cop out…Or face it head-on in a cool, relaxed and stress-free way. The choice is yours.

When I first started out in business, I faced many challenges. Not all of them were expected. What seemed overwhelming at first gradually became less severe as I learned how to deal with each situation effectively.

Sometimes it seems like challenges come rapid fire one after the other. Just remember none of these problems are your fault. Life happens to all of us.

After years of putting out fires and coping with unexpected crises, I developed a system for dealing with the inevitable life and business emergencies we all face.

During this time I created Crunch Point as a way to help me cope with these annoying situations. Now you can benefit from my experience. You don’t have to do it alone.

Remember it’s not the situation; its how you perceive it and more importantly how you deal with it. If you let it get to you emotionally it can eat you alive. Your personal power comes from controlling your response.

Sure it sounds easy to say but you and I know it sure doesn’t feel that way.

In my book Crunch Point I give you 21 proven ways to overcome any crazy situation you may be facing. Personal or financial it doesn’t matter. You will be in control of things now.

Imagine yourself:

• Taking control of any situation–You are in charge, feel the power
• Staying cool and rational while others are falling apart–You are in control
• Identifying and removing all obstacles to resolving your problem–No roadblocks
• Dealing with your problems quickly and effectively–Get on with your life
• Developing unshakeable confidence and courage–You are unstoppable
• Generate cash-flow to solve your financial problems–You are stress-free
• Knowing when to cut your losses and walk away–You are a savvy business person

Whatever inevitable and unexpected problems may arise in your future you’ll be ready. Why waste your valuable time trying to figure it out on your own? These proven techniques have worked for me and they will work for you. I guarantee it.

The best part is you can start right now…

I’m making a limited number of my Crunch Point book available to you, my valued reader.

But wait, there’s more.

Act now to get the key to quickly dealing with any problem that comes along–you’ll also receive 5 valuable bonuses worth over $110 for taking action now.

This is your only chance to get your hands on this exclusive bonus-filled package. Don’t kick yourself for missing out on this.

There’s no time to dilly-dally. You’re going to have to move decisively. So please don’t hesitate. Not even for a second.

I was talking to a woman around the New York area late last week. She found my web site after doing a search and requested more information. I followed up with her and she mentioned she was actually looking to go back to school to become a travel agent. After asking a few more questions I found that she had been arranging family travel plans for some time and had a lot of people who used her as a resource on where to go. She had become frustrated with her own “brick and mortar” agency because she could actually find better deals on the internet than her own agent.

I mentioned what my wife and I have been doing with YTB Travel and Cruises and how I could actually get her up and running as her own referral agency, and supply a plethora of information on how she could book this same travel without spending hoards of time and expense in school. After sending her a few links on industry certifications that I know of, and have taken, she sounded very interested in our business model. Both she and I were certain she would get started with us late last week.

I got an e-mail from her Monday:

“Thank you for all your information and answers to some tough questions. After careful reading and consideration and conversations with some people locally I have decided to obtain a degree in Travel and Tourism Hospitality Services at our local college.”

WHAT?!! She more than likely ended up getting that advice from the same agent who couldn’t find the deals she could find on her own! She will also find out very quickly like I did that people who can…do, people who can’t…teach. I’m also willing to bet that she will find out like I did, she is far more intelligent than any of the teachers she will run into. Than why is she listening to others instead of me? Because she’s been trained like I was from a very early age that going to school is the only way to go to get ahead in life. She simply doesn’t know what she will be learning when she does go back to school.

She is looking for know-how, and isn’t aware that travel agent schools are designed, primarily, to train low-paying, entry-level employees for travel agencies. Consequently, travel agent schools concentrate on dull, rote tasks like using a computerized reservation system. Furthermore, travel agent schools do not teach you how to think like an agency owner or how to get out in the community and sell travel. That’s because travel agent schools are designed to serve the needs of storefront travel agencies, providing them a steady stream of entry-level employees who will sit at a computer screen all day and enter orders.

Travel agent schools also don’t go out of their way to teach you that selling cheap, point-to-point airline tickets is no way to get rich quick — or to get rich at all, for that matter. Once again, this is because travel agent schools serve the travel agency business first and foremost.

I ended up wasting 2 years of my life and over $40,000 with nothing to show for it but debt and depression after doing the same thing. I went to school for Audio Video some years ago. It wasn’t until I got an internship at a local radio station in Pittsburgh that I found mentors, not teachers, who were willing to teach me all the tricks of the trade FOR FREE. These men and woman had actually been working in the field of my choice for 15 to 20 years and I learned more from them in 6 months than I did two years sitting in some class room. They also had the connections I needed to get my own gig in radio and by the time the other classmates got out of school, I was already established in the same industry they were trained for.

Every year hundreds of thousands of people aspire to participate in this business transaction called “college”. We have graduating seniors in high school all this month and next who will be listening to their parents and friends to do the same thing.

I’ll give you $80,000 and 4 years of my life, and in return, I get to scramble for a JOB that starts at $32,000 on the high end.

AND PEOPLE STRIVE FOR THIS. Corporate America has done a GREAT job at selling the public that this is a really good deal! That “college” is the way to go!

Well here’s the truth.

As a business owner, I attended a free Sandals Seminar on Tuesday of this week here in Atlanta. The top executives of the company trained my wife and I on the benefits of booking family vacations, honeymoon packages, and large corporate events with their resorts. I make more money, and save money earning free nights at these beautiful resorts selling these packages! This bright, intelegent woman will spend her time and money sitting in a classroom learning how to book airline tickets for pennies for someone else.

A college education does NOT teach you how to make money. It teaches you how to become a productive part of corporate America. It’s a training camp for the next participants of the rat race. They are nothing more than “employee farms”. They don’t have your best interest in mind. You are a product. You are nothing more than low grade human fuel for the guy who started the company.

And you will continue to pay the ultimate “stupid tax” for the rest of your life until you wise up and take matters into your own hands.

If you want to pursue a life in business, college is a scam. If you have dreams and desires to make a 6 figure income, why do we listen to people who don’t make that kind of money themselves? Until you find MENTORS like I did in the REAL WORLD, you will never learn what you need to make it in any business.

Like I said, this was a very smart woman, who is simply misinformed about which direction to go when it comes to learning about the industry of her choice. If she’s as smart as I think she is, she’ll soon realize that what she has been told by others she knows and trusts is not the way to go.
