A Secret About Money

Let me tell you a secret about money.
One day Pat O'Bryan, a wonderful Texas musician
well known in Europe, walked into a Master Mind group
we are in and announced, "One day I'm going to write a
book titled, 'The Myth of Passive Income.'"
He was joking. Everyone laughed. He had been
working hard on his site at
www.InstantChange.com
and realized from first-hand experience that there is
little passive about passive income.
I heard an opportunity.
"You ought to write that book right now," I said.
Every one shut up. They looked at me.
"It's a great idea," I explained. "People think
passive income is doing nothing all day and making
mon-ey while you sleep. It isn't quite like that. So
let's blow the whistle and tell people the truth."
Pat was beginning to learn how to act when an
opportunity popped up.
"I'll do it," he said.
We met in the parking lot after the group meeting.
He asked, "Would you go ahead and write a letter asking
people making mon-ey online if they would contribute an
article to our book? We just want to know what a
typical day for them is like. I bet they don't sit
around doing nothing."
Suddenly I was the coauthor in this project. Well,
I see opportunities and jump on them, too. I agreed.
I went home, went to my computer, and drafted a
letter. It was simple. I asked people online if they
would tell us what a day was like in their "passive"
world. I sent the letter to Pat. He approved it almost
instantly. I then sent it out to every list owner I
knew. This all happened within maybe three hours.
Within 24 hours we had wonderful articles by David
Garfinkel and Tom Antion. Later the same day I heard
from Jim Edwards, Yanik Silver, Jo Han Mok, and other
online giants, all agreeing to send articles for our
book.
And we just released the ebook today. (See it at
http://www.MythOfPassiveIncome.com.)
Now note what happened here:
A spontaneous joke became a project. That project
began to take form within three hours. And within one
day the book was being written -- and not by Pat OR me.
This process is how I created such mon-ey-making
digital products as my online e-classes, several
bestselling e-books, and even a few online promotional
campaigns. I came up with the ideas and within minutes
acted on them. The result: Success.
So what does money like?
Money likes speed.
That's the secret few know about money.
Money comes to those who act fast.
If you think, wonder, question, doubt, plan, meet,
discuss, or in any other way drag your feet, money goes
to the next person in line.
If you want to know how I've managed to write so
many books and articles, it's because I act fast. This
very article is an example.
Twenty minutes ago I got the idea to write
something about "Money liking action." I thought I
should write it some day. Then I thought, "Why not
NOW?"
Well, here you go.
It's done.
And I'm now sending it out to the online world. It
will tell people about me and my products, send some
people to my site at www.MrFire.com
and others to Pat's
site at www.InstantChange.com
and still others to
http://www.MythOfPassiveIncome.com and we'll both
make money now and later.
It happened because I know a secret about money.
You now know the secret, too.
So -- What are YOU waiting to do?
