Debt is like a plague that eats your hard earned money faster than you can earn it. You work for your bills and your bills take everything you work for. Soon it becomes a stressful vicious cycle that makes people bitter and angry. Your outlook becomes bleak; you see no happiness in your future.

For most, debt becomes so overwhelming that choices are made irrationally and impulsively. People begin to refinance bad consumer debt into their home equity which starts a never ending cycle of consumer debt-itis. Simply put a snowball effect that will overextend your resources well beyond your capabilities.

In fact more consumers start off with a 30 year mortgage and end up with a plan that extends out over 65 years or more. You see every time the refinance  is completed the amortization clock starts over. Your creditors have a plan to keep you in debt for as long as possible. I know this since I am in the mortgage lending business. Refinances are essential for many loan officers since that is our bread and butter. Many loan officers are unfortunate that client loyalty isn’t always key to their needs it’s the spur of the moment for many.

As you have seen when creditors stop lending the entire world feels the pain. Money makes the world go round and there is no denying it. You’ve heard the saying “Money Talks” or “Cash is King”, no one ever mentions that credit is Queen. Credit goes hand in hand with cash. Preferably credit is safer to use and easier to get your hands on if you know how. The biggest problem then lies with when to use and when not to use credit.

Our entire nation is build on debt, our Government has a National Deficit due to it’s spending habits. If anyone needs a bail out plan it’s our deficit. The commonality of our National Debt and the little guy/gal is that we too are in a deficit. Sure the proportions are much different but the fact of the matter is the same. If you don’t control your debt it will eat you alive.

We the people don’t have campaign contributions and tax payers to offset our spending. WE instead have a bankruptcy system that ruins our good name for over a decade, even two in some cases. Along with that we are banned from receiving good credit for years even if it was just a point in life that went unexpected. Our finances can very easily consume us if we are not careful.

This is where an plan of action, determination and some proprietary software comes into play. You see not everyone has the desire to fix their financial problems and those that do are usually upside down with their finances and can’t afford any type of assistance except from a governmental agency, or a charitable cause.

Developing a snowball effect on your bad debt is the fastest solution to put you into motion on a mission to eliminate debt from your life and have a certainty that your goal will be reached on a specific date. As the snowball rolls down the mountain it gains both mass and momentum; an unstoppable force if left unchallenged and unobstructed. Remember in the old Looney Tunes Cartoons where the snowball ran over Wiley E. Coyote?

The principle is the same, plan out your debt in a fashion that will execute a growing effect of debt reduction, interest reduction, and principle reduction in the shortest amount of time possible. The important factor is to remember is you’re building a momentum, staying in your budget is critical to your success.

You can’t reduce when you over extend your income, Why implement a plan when it will strap you. Instead you need a team of advisors who will keep you on track, maximize your momentum and provide you with a date of debt elimination. Once you have that established you will also need to have another date penciled in; your cash millionaire date. You see the whole idea behind credit interest reduction and debt management is to become debt free.

While you are in transition you need to also become financially independent, having the means and where withal to go from debt ridden, strapped, stressed to comfortable, self reliant, motivated, energized and happy to receive a paycheck; because now not only do you get to save more of it you actually can take a vacation or sick time and not have to worry that the sky is falling anymore.

Take the initiative to take control of your debt, plan to eliminate it once and for all. Gain control of your life and start enjoying life like you used to when you were younger and responsibility wasn’t a word in your vocabulary. Take charge of today for a better, brighter and more abundant future than you have ever thought possible.

When it comes to business and life opportunities I should head to one warning. Once bitten twice shy should be the order of the day. You see I had always wanted to start my own profitable business and be the one stop shop for everyone.

The problem is I couldn’t serve every persons problem. They tell me “I already have a …fill in the blank…” or my prospects didn’t want what I had to sell. Then one day I was speaking to a very well respected marketer who asked me “who is your target audience?”

Well I have never been the same from that day forward. You see when you must become an expert in a niche you start to learn more about why and how instead of just who. Now you may be asking your self why is this important to me and my finances.

The truth of the matter is that it’s very important. Becoming a financially independent person involves the same logic. You see a marketer, network marketer or an internet marketer all face the same issues. Who is my target client?

For you it is more of a who is my target financial adviser, why should I trust them, how can they benefit me and why should I do business with them? You see marketers have leveled the playing field once and for all.

Information that has been kept secret to the elite is now available for all of those around us wanting to change. It’s now your turn to turn on the info seeker know as the little spot between your ears and listen to what’s being talked about.

I’m not talking about the everyday mainstream media I’m talking about what you never hear people say. Thing like paying it forward or investments that are not subject to the human factor called the human condition where Johnny follows Tim who heard that Sally was doing this or investing in that.

We use the world around us to cross examine our information and come up with a list of questions that will subside our concerns or fears and if you don’t get the answers you have been searching for keep on searching or uncover new questions. We simply ask it another way and see if that sparks the response we have been looking for.

Either way we as marketers have the knowledge and power to uncover what your deepest fears, concerns, and hot buttons as we call them then turn you onto some form(s) of solutions to solve your current impending crisis.

What does this have to do with changing the world around us you may be asking… Well in short it has everything. I just made you aware that your sub conscience is being exploited, your buying habits, your impulse shopping, your search for prosperity, medical research, pet concerns, the wellness of your children and loved ones.

Watch this short video below to see the power of three. Then from here it on out this is  the way life needs to be. A thought and and experiment in kindness. After the video is done look below and see my kind gesture for you.
