Loral Langemeier has a new book coming out on October 13th, and they are expecting it to be a best seller just like her three Millionaire Maker books are.

I’ve talked about Loral several times here, mostly about her Cash Machine Workshop live event. The reason I devote so much time to her is that she is for real. She isn’t selling a program that requires you to spend a wad of money to learn a bunch of new skills so that you can hopefully start to make a little money in a year or two. She encourages you (at the live events she pushes you) to use what you already know to start making money today. Once you are making money, then you spend the money to hire the team that will support you.

Here’s the description of the book:

Turn what you know into dough!

You Don’t have fixed potential, why accept fixed income? By following Loral’s simple and straightforward approach, you’ll put more cash – $1000 or more a month, into your pocket in no time. I’ve helped thousands of people make extra cash fast. People from all different backgrounds, in a variety of situations, all over the world. People just like you!

Get on the list to be one of the first to get the book. Click here  to Loral’s site.

In the big lead-up to the book, Loral has recorded a free 20 minute video that is all content. You can get to it by going to my PlayLikeAMillionaire site and entering your name and email address. If nothing else, it’s a great free introduction to Loral Langemeier. Go check it out.

You hear all the time right now about unemployment.  People are going through layoffs, downsizings and rightsizings as companies seek to find a way through the current economy, or give up entirely and close their doors.

On the other hand, if you travel in small business / entrepreneurial circles, you hear people talk about being unemployable.  I’m not talking about people who have no skills and no ambition.  These are bright people with a lot of skills.  So why are they unemployable?

Because they choose to be.  They are of the mindset that they cannot be employed by another person because they have chosen to set their own course, take responsibility for their own results, and not allow any external agency to set limits on what they can accomplish.

I first heard this term in August 2008 at one of Loral Langemeier’s Cash Machine Workshops.  If you have never heard of Loral before I suggest you take a look at what she teaches.  She has come to be known as The Millionaire Maker and her best selling books are published under that title.  One of the things she teaches is that everyone should build a Cash Machine, a way to quickly make money with skills you already have.  Once you do that and have money coming in based solely on your own efforts and ideas you will understand what it means to be unemployable.

So, what are you going to do?

I’m becoming unemployable too.

It is absolutely critical to get regular training if you are involved in a business.

If you have ever studied personal growth then you have probably heard that if you aren’t growing, then you are dying. That is very true. If your business isn’t growing then you will soon find that you have been left behind by the other businesses in your market. Things are always changing, new technologies and methodologies are constantly being introduced. A regular training program is the best way to keep up with everything that is going on.

Training is even more important when you are building your business online where things are constantly changing.

I have decided to build my business online, and it is much more than just building a website and waiting for people to show up.  Right now social media and blogs are the big thing, and most people don’t understand them, especially social media.  Fortunately there are a few people who do have it figured out and they are willing to teach the people who will listen.

So far, the best training programs I have found for Internet Marketing are Mike Dillard’s Magnetic Sponsoring and Ann Seig and Mike Klingler’s Renegade Professional.  They both have a network marketing flavor but the material is appropriate for any small business looking to build its presence online.  If you are completely new to the online world, then I think Renegade Professional is best.  It provides very detailed, step-by-step instruction.

In building a business it is important to stay up to date, improve your existing skills, learn new skills, and learn from other people’s mistakes so that you don’t make them yourself.

FYI, spam is not the right way to use social media.

Have you invested in a 401k for a number of years only to see it cut in half in past year or so?

The idea behind a 401k is a good one.  You can take part of your paycheck every month and invest it long-term in some financial vehicle that will hopefully grow and become enough money for you to live on when you retire.  It’s a lot better than Social Security because it has a chance to earn money through whatever investment it is in while Social Security can’t.

The problem with a 401k, or any other investment like it, is that you have invested in paper and ideas.  Like what has happened in the past year, most investments have declined and some have gone away completely.  When a company goes under you don’t even get your original money back.

To balance that risk you can invest a part of your money in something that has intrinsic value, like private gold and silver.  These tangible assets do go up and down in value but they aren’t likely to “go under” during our lifetimes.  Unlike with stocks, if the company that issued the gold or silver fails, the investment doesn’t lose its intrinsic value because it is accepted as money all over the world.

I have found a company, YOUnique Wealth, that issues private gold and silver.  They are creating a plan where regular people can make a fixed monthly investment, just like you do with your 401k, and they send you gold and / or silver.  Here’s an example of how it works.  You decide to invest in gold, put in $250 a month, and the gold costs $140. The first month you will get one gold medallion at $140 and the remaining $110 will be held until the next month. The second month you put in your $250, add in the $110 that was held over, so you have $360. They will send you 2 gold medallions ($280) and roll the remaining $80 over. It works the same as your current paper investments because you can only buy whole shares. If you look at your investment account you will usually see some amount of cash sitting in a money market or something.

To find out more, there is a Big Day event starting soon, August 12th at Noon EDT. There will be short 15 to 20 minute informational calls every other hour starting at that time.  Go here to get the schedule, get on the calls, and start stockpiling your precious metals.

Here are the two videos that are on that page. The first one is Bob Proctor.

BTW, I’m not a financial adviser. I like gold and silver because they have held their value a lot better than the dollar over the past several years and they have real value as opposed to the dollar, which is just paper.

Gold and Silver are valuable and shiny
