Wealth Masters International M2 Wealth Conference
In my last post, I urged all my readers to strongly consider getting the financial education critical to surviving and thriving in today’s economy.
Today, I am turning over the stage to Mr. Kip Herriage, co-founder of Wealth Masters International. In my mind, Kip is one of the few people in this country who understands what is going on in today’s economic turmoil, how we got there, and what every person needs to do to protect themselves.
Why You Should Listen To Kip Herriage
On November 21-24, 2008, Wealth Masters International will be holding their semi-annual M2 Wealth Conference.
WMI’s M2 Conference allows one to take the foundation learned from the M1 Financial Education Program and APPLY IT to his/her financial circumstances (NOTE: You do NOT need to purchase the M1 Program to purchase tickets to the M2 Wealth Conference).
The results are amazing.
Here is what Kip Herriage had to say about the upcoming M2 Conference:
A massive number of millionaires will be made during this very painful period, while sadly; millions will be made homeless as well. You don’t have to come to this m2. I’m not going to twist your arm. It’s your future, not mine, but I will say this… If you do come, it will be the most valuable 4 days of your life, and here’s why…
You’ll meet Mr. G Edward Griffin. THE economic researcher that predicted this exact scenario well over a decade ago, and he’ll provide you with a specific game plan for the prepared
Robert Kiyosaki’s personal advisor on gold and silver, Mr. Mike Maloney, will be in attendance, and will teach you how to protect your money, and take advantage of the biggest “wealth transfer” in the history of mankind.
Mr. Chuck Butler is one of the world’s most renowned economists, who has called the economy and stock markets moves each and every step of the way like a prophet. You’ll learn his step-by-step game plan that will help you make timely, wise, personal decisions that will help you protect your wealth and prosper immensely.
This is it. This is a time that will go down in history, and this is why WMI was created.
This is why you’re a part of this group. Now is a time to be decisive. You can’t afford to sit on the sidelines and there are no “do-over’s”. You will most likely be wiped out unless you take control of your financial destiny, but as always, the choice is yours.
If you’re going to overcome this… If you’re ready to take responsibility for your freedom, prosperity, and your future, I expect to see you at the Marco Island m2.
To find out more information on the M2 Conference, go to the Wealth Masters International website, click on PRODUCTS, and choose the M2 Wealth Conference.
And while you’re there, check out the WMI Marketing Opportunity.
To your success!

Are You a Sheep Or a Wolf?
I just got off the phone with Aaron Parkinson, co-creator of Carbon Copy PRO Marketing.
Aaron was talking about the recession and the economic prospects for the next few years. He made an analogy that I feel is worth sharing.
The economy is tanking. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the seriousness of that statement. But what are you going to do about it? Are you going to be actively looking for solutions, or are you going to let it be, let it ride, and be like sheep being led to a slaughter.
That’s right. Sheep.
The picture of sheep being led en masse to the slaughter is an appropriate representation of what will happen to us if we take a wait and see attitude.
Wait and see what will happen with my life savings.
Wait and see if I will keep my job.
Wait and see if I can keep paying the mortgage on my house.
In this case, taking a “wait and see” attitude is a disaster.
It’s a well known fact that, in every economic downturn in history, including the Great Depression, there was money to be made, and there were people who prospered financially.
These were the people who EDUCATED THEMSELVES financially, enabling them to protect their savings and make sound investments when no one else even considered them.
I am lucky enough to be part of a company, Wealth Masters International, that have products that you cannot afford to be without right now.
Let me repeat that —
THESE PRODUCTS ARE NOT OPTIONAL.
I don’t like to plug my own businesses on this blog, but times have changed.
I have something that you NEED to have. So let’s put our cards on the table.
Will I benefit financially? Absolutely!
But not as much as you.
Why?
Because you will be gaining the MOST IMPORTANT thing that people who prosper in a recession all have: FINANCIAL EDUCATION.
- You can learn how to keep more of your money.
- You can learn how to protect it and minimize your taxes.
- You can learn the steps to take to secure your financial future.
If that was all, I would go tell you to buy a financial education book and be done with it.
But there’s more…. much more.
With the Wealth Masters Product Line, you get access to several “alliances”, companies hand picked by Wealth Masters to help you PERSONALLY in your specific situations.
Companies that deal in wealth acceleration, asset protection, tax minimization, credit restoration, and much more.
Imagine, a team of financial professionals right at your fingertips, without having to go out and research the internet to find them. Invaluable. And these are the BEST OF THE BEST!
NOTE: Wealth Masters has no financial arrangements with these companies; they are totally independent. Thus there is no risk of any conflict of interest.
Want STILL MORE?
OK. This will blow you away.
Wealth Masters also provides you access to private investments that the public never sees.
Investments that hold true in this type of economy, when others fail. You get to rub elbows with the investment gurus in various sectors and find out the very latest investments that can grow your money.
ANOTHER NOTE: Wealth Masters does NOT give investment advice, nor do they offer investments as part of their services. Rather, they allow you access to the people that do offer these types of exclusive investments.
So there you have it.
- Financial education
- Teams of Professionals at your fingertips
- Exposure to Exclusive Investment Opportunities.
Instead of a sheep waiting for the slaughter, you have now become a WOLF, ready to take action given your new found knowledge.
Guys, you need to check this out.
I am sharing this with you because I truly feel that, without this type of education, we are all one step away from financial ruin. I’m not kidding.
Take action now… be a wolf.
To your financial education!

Is Carbon Copy PRO a SCAM?
I got a nice email from a young lady yesterday. It seems she had visited my Carbon Copy PRO website but was concerned about leaving her name and email because, as she put it, “there are so many scams out there.”
I called and assured her that Carbon Copy PRO is NOT a scam, that it is a legitimate, lucrative home business opportunity, and that it is associated with a well recognized and respected financial education and wealth creation company called Wealth Masters International.
I told her that, NO , it most definitely is NOT A SCAM, that my wife and I are making good money with their system and improving weekly as we learn more and more from their 30 Day Marketing Guide.
She was assured, and she is now taking a closer look.
But I got to thinking about her statement….
“There are so many SCAMS out there!”
Are there really?
I don’t think so, and I’ll tell you why. I’ll also tell you why I feel sorry for people searching for a legitimate home business opportunity.
Surely, there are some scams out there, some illegal at worst and misleading at best. But I think they are exposed fairly quickly and gone from the horizon.
But do this exercise for me….
Go to Google and type in any home based business you can think of. MLM, direct sales, it doesn’t matter which ones you choose. After each business type in the word “Scam.”
Type in Carbon Copy PRO Scam.
Type in Wealth Masters International Scam.
Type in Amway Scam. Type in Herbalife Scam. Type in USANA Scam.
Type in any other network marketing company you know of.
What do you see?
I just performed this exercise with Carbon Copy PRO, and this is a sampling of what I found:
Don’t Join Carbon C. Pro
Don’t Buy Carbon C Pro
(Carbon Copy Pro Scam) *FORBIDDEN* Truth Here
YouTube – Carbon Copy Pro SCAM – TOOK MY MONEY!! (internet business)
Is Carbon Copy Pro a scam?
Work From Home Are Scams
You see a trend here? You will see these headlines for ANY home business opportunity you type in Google.
Surely, THEY CAN’T ALL BE SCAMS! In fact, this last example seems to implicate the ENTIRE Network Marketing Industry!
A closer look tells the story.
Every one of these ads or articles is written by someone who is marketing another home business opportunity. Every one.
And sadly, some are even written by other Carbon Copy PRO associates, who then turn it around and get more leads for their business. Why would they do this?
Because people type in scam in Google all the time. It is always one of the highest searched words, so marketers take advantage of it.
So what is the person to do if they are looking for a legitimate home based business?
Here is my advice
- Be brave and try not to be so suspicious. Most opportunities are not scams.
- Learn more about each company, talk to people actually doing the business, and study the compensation plans and business models (i.e. doyour due diligence).
- Ask a lot of questions, go on conference calls if offered.
- Ask to speak with other members, especially ones who have just joined — not the person who will be sponsoring you and profiting from your joining his business.
- Find a mentor who is knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, willing to take the time to show you the ropes to get you started in your new business.
Remember, the ads you see on Google are meant to draw your attention. But they are almost always written by people selling their own opportunity.
Sometimes they are posted by angry former home business owners who failed and did not make money.
But that is the subject for a different post.
Remember…..
BE AWARE, not BEWARE!
Do your due diligence, but don’t buy into these scare tactics.
Good luck and prosperity!

Make Money, Not Excuses
“You can make money or you can make excuses, but you can’t make both.”
These words were written recently in a blog by Karl Bessey, co-founder of a Texas-based finanical education and wealth creation company called Wealth Masters International.
I have been in this industry for more than a couple of years now, and I couldn’t agree with this more.
As I have said on this blog before, 97% of all home-based business owners fail. I take this to mean that 97% of all people who start a home-based business do not make enough money, and most probably spend more money than they make.
What that also tells me is that 97% of these people MAKE EXCUSES.
I have heard a lot of excuses in this business, some rather unique. But most center on the theme of NO MONEY, NO TIME, NO SUPPORT. OK, OK, and OK.
So what? You want to know how many of the 3% of people who make money in this industry had NO MONEY when they first started? Probably 95% of them.
You want to know how many of these people had time issues? Most of them.
You want to know how many had little to no support, and had to find their own way? Probably ALL of them.
That’s right, guys. It’s time to lay down the excuses and start making money.
Don’t let ANYTHING get in your way.
I am changing my mindset on this issue of EXCUSES.
Here are my new edicts:
- You have money problems? So does everybody. You will find the money if you really want it.
- You have time issues? Too bad. Stay up later or get up earlier.
- Your sponsor leave the company? So what, it happens all the time. Find the support you need elsewhere.
- Your spouse giving you crap about spending money? Work it out. Make money.
- You have too many expenses? Life getting in the way? That’s life — work it out (Rosemary and I have 2 kids in college, 1 going next year, and 1 more the year after… make it work anyway you can).
I know this may sound hard ass to many, but I’ve found in building my business with Carbon Copy PRO and WMI that it’s the only way you’ll make money.
No Excuses, Make Money. $$$
Great advice from someone who has “made it” in the Direct Sales industry. Karl Bessey is someone I really have come to respect. His story is compelling…. coal miner turned entrepreneur. So when he speaks, I listen.
And on this one, he is right on the money!
To your prosperity,
Bob

MLM Success: Make the Effort to Attend a Live Event
I’ve heard it stated that those people who attend their MLM or direct sales company’s live events have a significantly higher chance at succeeding than those that don’t attend.
Why would this be true?
I just returned from the Second Live Marketing Event in Dallas, Texas sponsored by Carbon Copy PRO Marketing. I’ve already reviewed the event in a recent post, but today I’d like to get more into the mindset of attending live events.
What do you get at a Live Event that you can’t get sitting behind your computer?
- Informational trainings and company updates
- The ability to put faces to names of those you have become familiar with in your company
- The chance to form friendships and brainstorm with people in your company
- Many times there will be promotional discounts on company materials
- Time away from the drudgery of every day life and, usually a renewed drive to work your business.
These are all great advantages to attending a live event, but I’m not sure they can explain why people who attend these events go on to success at higher rates than those that do not.
I believe that it is not the attendance at the Live Event per se that subsequently drives a person’s success in their business, but rather something far more basic.
I believe it has more to do with a person’s mindset and drive.
This is a person who understands the importance of self improvement, education, and training in building their business empire.
This is a person who understands that no man (or woman) is an island, that we need to work with others to really make our business thrive.
This is a person who does not hesitate to spend money to advance their business.
For all the above reasons, I believe it is not the attendance at the live event that makes the difference between successful and unsuccessful home business owners.
It is the intent and willingness, the mindset if you will, of the person to take their business to the next level by attending an event that really matters.
The event might be fantastic, with exceptional training and full of “golden nuggets” of information to take home, like the Carbon Copy PRO Marketing Event I just attended.
Or the live event might be lacking in substance, a little boring even….. it matters little.
What truly matters is the EFFORT you took to attend.
This is what distinguishes those that succeed and those that don’t in the MLM and Direct Sales business arena.
Carbon Copy PRO Marketing Event — New Strategies, Inspiration, and a New Porsche
Wow! I just got back from a live training event and here are the details….
That’s all I can say. I have been in the Network Marketing industry for quite a few years now, and I have never been to company live events that actually TEACH people HOW TO MARKET. Until now.
Carbon Copy PRO’s Second Live Marketing Event in Dallas was held on Saturday and it was an amazing mix of new strategies, tips, and great discounts on coaching from experts in the world of marketing.
And they even gave away a new Porsche!
Here’s a glimpse at the schedule of events (non-inclusive):
- M.J. Durkin of Sales Judo Academy started things off with terrific tips on how to prospect, build your list, and secrets of leaving great voice mails. Many nuggets here, folks.
- Jimmy Davis and Dennis Karganilla of MLM Goldmine, the masters of Web 2.0 provided their own gold nuggets for the audience with their tips on making MySpace and YouTube work.
- Howie Schwartz of Conversation Domination continued the Web 2.0 theme and showed everyone how he routinely ranks on the first page of Google using Web 2.0 methodologies.
- Cherie Yvette, the Urban Cowgirl, unveiled for the first time her new Pay Per Click software that will revolutionize the way everyone optimizes their PPC campaigns. Amazing stuff at an amazing price.
- Natalie Stahl of Platinum 7 Consulting presented her Weekly Action Plan, providing consultants with a formal plan that will turbo charge their online businesses. Natalie also outlined the outsourcing services available exclusively for Carbon Copy PRO members.
- Kep Herriage and Karl Bessey, co-founders of Wealth Masters International, provided an overview of WMI’s unbelievable financial education and wealth creation products available to Carbon Copy PRO members. Given the current financial climate, these products and strategies couldn’t be more important.
My point is two fold, here:
- If you are a member of Carbon Copy PRO or Wealth Masters International, you missed something HUGE here. You missed a chance to pick the brains of some of the absolute experts in online marketing, providing THE MOST CUTTING EDGE STRATEGIES.
- If you are a member of other network marketing opportunities, think very strongly about attending a live event. Statistics show that new members of an opportunity that attend a live event within the first few months of joining have a much higher chance of success than those that do not attend a live event.
Oh yea, I almost forgot. The leaders at Carbon Copy gave away a prize for the person who sold the most Business in a Box product since it’s introduction a few months ago. The winner got…. well, you can see it. Again, WOW. Lucky guy!
Glad to be back, guys. And ready to roll.
To your success!

Products That Change People’s Lives: An Essential Component to your Network Marketing Home Business
There are so many home business opportunities out there. How do you choose?
Of course, you must do your due diligence, studying each opportunity in terms of the legitimacy of the business, terms of the compensation plan, and training and support offered.
These factors are all important to consider.
For Rosemary and I, there was one other DEAL BREAKER: The PRODUCTS.
We realized early on that marketing products that we personally use and totally believe in was an essential part of operating our home businesses. Like they say, you gotta walk the walk.
We hunted around looking for another opportunity and then we found it.
A company whose products are life changing to anyone who uses them. And given the current financial climate, these are products that are essential to anyone looking to protect their nest egg.
I’m talking about Wealth Masters International.
The founders of this company, Kip Herriage and Karl Bessey have years of experience in the industry and on Wall Street. They have developed financial education and wealth creation products that provide everyone with the ability to understand financial education, reduce and eliminate their debt, restore their credit, and build (or rebuild) their future.
Here is how Wealth Masters describes their top selling products:
The M1 Masters Program guides you through every fundamental step to building a solid financial future. Soon, your debts will be eliminated, your taxes dramatically reduced, your cash flow multiplied, your assets protected, and much, much, more….allowing you to enjoy the retirement you deserve. All of this is accomplished as you gain access to powerful alliances with hand-selected businesses and individuals in Wealth, Health and Wisdom; WMI’s holistic approach to helping our Members achieve optimal success in every important area of their life.
Now THESE are products I can sell with the confidence that they will really MEAN SOMETHING to people’s lives. These are the kind of products I can sell with integrity and know that they can help anyone who uses them.
If you want to learn more about Wealth Masters and their products, you can check out our Wealth Masters website.
I am not big into plugging my own business opportunities on this blog, but given the current state of the financial world, I thought it important to bring these products to your attention.
They’re not cheap, but they will change your life. This is the truth.
To your success!

MLM Success: No Experience Necessary?
If you spend any time on Google or the other search engines, you’ve undoubtedly seen ads for home businesses where it is boldly stated…..
NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED!!!
Well, I guess it is true that you need not have any prior experience in sales, marketing, or business ownership to START your home business. But SUCCEEDING as a home business?
Well, that’s another story.
I consider myself a fairly smart guy. Ph.D. in physiology at the age of 26, postdoctoral research at Harvard Medical School, Associate Professor at Cornell University Medical College.
But when it came time to start a home business with my wife, Rosemary…… I was MYSTIFIED.
I mean, this was a whole new world!
I had never sold anything, never marketed online or offline…. but I was told that there was NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY to start a home business, so I dove right in.
What did I find? What everyone other network marketing newbie finds…
Confusion, Frustration, and Bewilderment.
Listen up guys… NO matter what anyone tells you….
THERE IS A LEARNING CURVE when you start anything new…. including Network Marketing.
How big is this learning curve? That depends.
- It depends on how much time you’re willing to spend learning your new craft.
- It depends on your level of experience when you start your business. Obviously, the more experience you’ve had, the farther up on the learning curve you will be.
- It depends on the business opportunity and how much in-house training they offer, and the quality of that training.
The last one was the reason we chose our current business, because they offered online training and education above and beyond anything we had seen (or have seen since) in the industry (the business is Carbon Copy PRO, and this isn’t a plug, just the truth).
But it still took TIME.
No getting around it… it just does.
Are you willing to invest in YOU, to get the training and experience you need, and be patient for the results?
I hear so many stories of people quitting their home business opportunity just before they are ready to reap the profits of their hard work. They become inpatient and disillusioned.
YOU CAN BE A SUCCESS IN NETWORK MARKETING.
IT MAY JUST TAKE A WHILE.
To your patience and dedication,

MLM Success Secrets: Can I Make Fast Money?
The quick answer to this question is: NOT USUALLY.
You’d be surprised how many people I talk with who really want to start a home business, or so they think. But when I really start asking the tough questions about their motives for wanting to be a home business owner, things often get a little dicey.
My first 3 questions are always the same:
- Do you have any prior sales/marketing/home business experience?
- How much capital are you willing to spend to get your business started and positioned in the compensation plan?
- What is your monthly income goal and how quickly are you looking to attain this goal?
By the time I get to the 3rd question, you can just see the eyes starting to glaze over. It’s about this time that they realize that a home business is going to mean HARD WORK and some MONEY to get it going and maintain it until a profit is seen.
It’s also at this point that I lose alot of prospects, but that’s okay with me. I’d rather find out now than to invest a lot of time in training and mentoring, just to have them drift away from disillusionment.
In the next few blog posts I will examine each of these factors in more detail, but in general, here’s the truth in making money with a home-based business:
- You’ll make money faster if you’ve had prior experience in sales and marketing, or if you’ve owned a business before.
- You’ll make money faster if you buy into the opportunity at a higher level in the compensation plan (consider this your capital investment).
- You’ll make money faster if you have a marketing budget that will allow you to get the word out. In general, the more you can spend in marketing, the more extensively your product will be in front of people, and the more sales you will make.
We’ll discuss these more in future posts, and how you can shorten your learning curve if you are lacking the experience that will put you in the winners circle.
To your prosperity!
