Happy New Year Friend, 

I wanted to be first to email you on New Years Day and Wish you all the best for 2008!

I also wanted to ask you a very important question, but before I do that, I want to share with you some important news…

According to survey findings released yesterday, getting one's finances in order has topped the 2008 New Year's resolution list, with the perennial favourite "losing weight'' finishing a distant second.

Research by Wizard Home Loans, which surveyed more than 300 people, revealed 40 per cent considered getting their finances in order as the top priority, ahead of 28 per cent who chose losing weight.

Citibank also conducted some year-end research finding that close to a third of Australian’s were worried about their financial future.

The Citibank research also showed little more than one-fifth of the population had enough savings to sustain them beyond three months if they lost a job.

The survey of 400 Australian adults by CXC Research found 29 per cent were worried about their financial future and 22 per cent rarely set aside money when paid.

The research also found 19 per cent of Australians would last only one week on their current savings if they lost their job, 45 per cent would last up to four weeks and only 23 per cent could last more than three months.

Now I don’t know about you, but that’s shocking to me!! Especially when it’s so easy to become financially strong.

Now the problem with all of this is when asked how they plan to get ahead financially, saving money and entering the property market were top priorities.

Well I have a big problem with that for two reasons.

Firstly, Emerson said,

“Of what use to make heroic vows of amendment if the same old law breaker is to keep them?”

And I tend to agree.

Without personal growth, like examining your beliefs and mindset you simply cannot sustain new behaviours. Personal growth is key, new behaviours follow effortlessly.


Secondly, my friend, unless you do something to increase your income pretty quick, you’ll be saving for a long-long time. In fact, I’ll bet your life time won’t be long enough.
And the reality is I read statistics recently showing actually 70% of people lose money in real estate investment!

So good luck with that one!

Clearly, if you want to get ahead financially and laugh at things like interest rate rises, you’re going to need some personal growth first and some new knowledge and a proven system second.

So far so good?

OK, so here’s my crucial question:

Is 2008 going to be your year?

Yes or No?

If it’s a no, that’s fine. Just play it safe, stay comfortable and do what you’ve always done. You’ll stay in the survey statistics above, but don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of friends at the pub or café to commiserate with next New Year’s.

But If it’s a YES!!

May I suggest you take some action right now? Prove to yourself, right this minute that this is going to be your year!

Because you know James Allen said

“People are anxious to improve their circumstances but unwilling to improve themselves, they therefore remain bound”.

Here’s two things I suggest you do to improve yourself. One is get a copy of Think and Grow Rich and read just one page every day in 2008. (You’ll need it for when we meet.)

And yes, the second is I suggest we meet in person. So do yourself an immediate favour and book yourself into the new 2008 Ultimate Think and Grow Rich Marketing and Wealth Creation training Conference in a city near you, right now. Don’t delay. I assure you there’s nothing that will even look or feel like it in this country and it will be financially and personally liberating for you.
