The TRUE Economic Forecast for 2010 — What The Talking Heads WON’T Tell You!
Hi Friends… Happy New Year to all!
To start off the new year, I’m going to go a little off topic. Typically I search out and report what I know to be the absolute truths in the Network Marketing industry… even if the powers that be don’t like it (and they usually don’t).
But today, I’m going to give you another TRUTH that should be very important to you. I know it is to me.
It’s the TRUTH about WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING TO YOUR MONEY and what is True Economic Forecast in 2010.
You see, for a couple of years now I have been following (and become friends with) a former-Wall Street executive named Kip Herriage. Kip is the CEO of a top tier financial direct sales company as well as the author of one of the most respected Financial Advisory newsletters in the World.
And just before Christmas, he was a guest on the G. Gordon Liddy talk show on Public Radio. Wayne Allen Root was the guest host, and he and Kip spoke for about 10 minutes on the Conspiracy Against Your Money in 2010,, and where the economy is likely to end up by the end of the year.
HINT: It’s NOT what you will hear the talking heads on CNBC or FOX News Channel forecast, that’s for sure.
Kip just sent me an email with the link to this audio, and as my loyal readers I wanted to share it with you.

Here are just a few things you’ll learn in this short 10 minute audio tape:
- In the next 2 years, you will see the GREATEST TRANSFER OF WEALTH this country has EVER seen.
- You have the chance to create more wealth than in any time in history, if you know what you’re doing.
- How the US Dollar will soon be worth nothing more than the paper it’s printed on, and why this so.
- How YOU can profit during this economic depression if you are using the right strategies.
Guys, whether you believe this or not… whether you think this is too radical or totally ridiculous — I strongly urge you to

It will be the most interesting 10 minutes you’ll spend this week, guaranteed.

PS Kip’s company is soon putting out a new DVD called The Conspiracy Against Your Wealth, which will give you even more INSIDER INFORMATION about what is REALLY going on in our economy and in Washington. Stay tuned…. I’ll let you know right here when it’s available.
30 Tips in 30 Days: Day 7 — Do This One Thing and Your Chances of Making Significant Money Triples
If you may remember, back on Day 3 of our 30 Tips on 30 Days Series, I talked about the importance of training and allocating a significant part of your initial marketing budget to laying your marketing foundation with education.
You see, you can buy leads, but once they’re gone, they’re gone. But once you learn HOW TO MARKET, you can easily generate an unlimited number of leads…. sometimes free or at very low cost.
But today, I want you to consider something that you may not have thought important:
ATTENDING YOUR COMPANY’S LIVE EVENT
Statistics have shown that people who attend their company’s live events, especially within the first 6 months of joining the opportunity, almost triple their chance at being successful.
Bob and Rosemary Clarke with our friend Jay Kubassek, CEO of Carbon Copy PRO
It may seem weird that the simple act of attending a conference or live event will have such an effect. It was not until we attended our first live event with our current company that we discovered why it’s so important.
Let’s take a closer look….
Here are some of the advantages of attending a LIVE EVENT:
- You get to meet the leaders of your company, the people who started the company and run it on a day-to-day basis. You get an idea of their vision.
- You come to really understand the value of the products you are marketing, by seeing how they have positively affected the lives of others. Most people who market products use them routinely and can have some terrific testimonials.
- You get to see people who are making REAL money in your business. This no longer is a hypothetical possibility of making money… now you see it first hand. You can talk to these people and find out what THEY did to get to where they are today.
- You can meet people who work in the offices of your company, like customer service reps. These are the people in the trenches every day, and it is strategically very advantageous to befriend one or more of these key people. When you have an issue with your back office, need a product returned, have problems with a customer’s order, now you have someone REAL to turn to.
- You can network with others who are just starting out, get their contact information, and provide support for each other as you struggle to make a name for yourself. Some of my best marketing ideas were borne out of conversations I had in just such circumstances.
- You can LEARN new marketing strategies. I am lucky enough to have joined a company that holds an actual Live Marketing Event twice a year where they teach the latest and hottest marketing techniques. If your company provides such training at their live events, take advantage of it.
So lets get in to the nitty gritty….
6 Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Live Event:
- Dress professionally. Business casual is the norm, so there’s no need to dress in suits, but don’t look sloppy! You are beginning to project your image, so look the part!
- Be a sponge! Listen to everything and take a lot of notes.
- Don’t be a wallflower! Even if you are an introvert like me, FORCE YOURSELF to be bold. Introduce yourself as a new member of the company, and more than likely you will get a very warm reception. If you find yourself at a lunch or dinner table knowing nobody, take advantage of it and meet EVERYONE at your table.
- Get business cards prior to the event so you can give them out to people you meet at the Conference. The purpose? People will now have your contact information, and you can ask for theirs in return. Ask them if it’s okay if you call them with questions. Most will readily agree.
- Watch for special discounts. Many companies offer special deals or discounts on such things as trainings, stepping up to the next compensation level, and products. Be willing to consider any that interest you. Rosemary and I have used several of these discount deals at our Live Events to get specialized training that would otherwise be cost prohibitive.
- Bring your camera!
Why bring your camera?

Well, you need to start building your credibility with your prospects, right? When you are first getting started or don’t yet have a lot of success, you might feel like you don’t have any credibility.
So you have to BORROW some!
When my wife Rosemary and I were just starting out, we went to our company’s live event and took pictures with every leader we could find. These were people who were making REAL MONEY. These were people who had made a name for themselves.
Why would we do this?
First take a look at the pictures throughout this blog post. What do you see?
You see Rosemary and I with some very influential and successful people in our primary business and throughout the Network Marketing industry.
You get the picture. IT IS CREDIBILITY THROUGH ASSOCIATION.
People look at these pictures, and say….
“Hey, look who Bob and Rosemary know! They must be in the “inner circle” to have such friends.”
Whether you are just starting out or have been in the industry for years, pictures at live events give you INSTANT CREDIBILITY in the eyes of your prospects.
Bob and Rosemary with Mr. Andrew Cass, top earner and Exec VP of Wealth Masters International
Put them on your blog, your web page, or anywhere else to build your credibility over night.
Take home lesson for today?
GET TO A LIVE EVENT! Do whatever it takes, but if you’re serious at making it in network marketing, get there. I’ve never talked with anyone who later regretted it.
To your happiness,
Bob
August 7, 2008; Cresskill, NJWe Are In The News!
As you may know, my wife Rosemary and I recently attended the 7th Wealth Masters International m2 Wealth Conference in Marco Island, FL.
In the following press release, we were quoted about our reaction to the conference and it’s value to its members….
Wealth Masters International Holds 7th Annual m2 Wealth Conference
Leading world-class experts in finance, economics, and wealth creation strategies explain the root causes of today’s economic recession.
Marco Island, FL—Wealth Masters International (WMI) is wrapping up its 7th Annual m2 Wealth Conference here as attendees scramble to take in as much information as possible to prepare for what could well become a wide-ranging global financial firestorm. The four-day event, which ran from November 21-24, 2008, featured leading world class experts in finance, economics, and wealth creation strategies who provided attendees with detailed explanations of the root causes of today’s economic recession.
More importantly, investment and wealth creation strategies were discussed to not just survive the coming hard times, but to succeed and thrive financially as well. Experts predict that during the next 3 years investors will be hit hard, and opportunities will abound for those who know how to spot and capitalize on them.
Unique investment opportunities not normally known to the public were introduced and made available to attendees of the m2 Conference through independent business alliances. Finally, the co-creators of WMI, Kip Herriage and Karl Bessey announced an improved, interactive m1 financial education product and the new m3 Private Wealth Group that will greatly expand on wealth and investment strategies and opportunities available to its members.
Two attendees, Dr. Bob Clarke and Rosemary Berrios-Clarke, are health care professionals at a major New York Medical Center and leading marketers in Wealth Masters International. As affiliates of CarbonCopyPRO, the marketing arm of WMI, the two have become leading experts at marketing and promoting these world class group of products.
According to Berrios-Clarke, “The information presented at the m2 Wealth Conference is what everyone in America and abroad needs to hear in order to get through the next 3 years of recessionary economic times and come out the other side financially intact. This is information I will definitely want to share with my family and friends,” she said.Dr. Clarke believes that the general public is not adequately prepared for the coming struggles and financial challenges, largely because they don’t fully understand what’s happening. “I finally understand the root causes of the economic recession we are experiencing at the present time, and it is very comforting to be armed with the knowledge and unique investment opportunities that will allow us to substantially grow our money over the next few years,” he said.
“The financial education and wealth creation strategies that were detailed over the last 3 days of the WMI m2 Wealth Conference will allow all who attended to not only survive the recession we are only now beginning to experience but to continue to build wealth during this difficult financial period,” Dr. Clarke concluded.
After listening to the diverse group of financial and wealth creation experts presenting at the m2 Conference, Dr. Clarke stressed that the coming economic calamity isn’t a matter of if it will happen, but when. He suggests that knowledge is the key to financial survival during the next few years, and it’s up to each one of us to obtain—and to implement—that knowledge.

November 25, 2008; Cresskill, NJUpdate from the Wealth Masters International M2 Wealth Conference
Marriot Resort, Marco Island
Coming from you live from Marco Island, FL….. this is an update from the 7th Annual Wealth Masters International Wealth Conference.
First of all, the Marriot resort is INCREDIBLE — 5 stars all the way. The beaches are amazing and impeccable, temps in the high 70s, beautiful weather and luxury accomodations.
Rosemary came down a day early and just decompressed for the day…. pool, spa, workout room. We just totally relaxed for the first time in a long time.
As for the Conference….
Never… I repeat NEVER have I attended a conference more well timed than this one. With our economy tanking, federal bailouts, and my stock portfolio shrinking by the day, this information has never come at a better time.
Check out the lineup of speakers from today….
Wayne Allyn Root, Best Selling Author of Relentless kicked off the conference with a remarkably motivating story of how he defied the odds of becoming a national news anchor with no professional degree and eventually became the 2008 Libertarian Vice-Presidential nominee.
G. Edward Griffin, Author of The Creature from Jekyll Island. Griffin provided great insight in to the creation of the Federal Reserve, its effect on the banking system and how they equally control our economy.Mr. Chuck Butler, President of EverBank World Markets discussed currency trends of the United States Dollar and why we’ve seen a major deleveraging of assets since July 2008.Finally, Mike Maloney, President of GoldSilver.com and the precious metals advisor to Robert Kiyosaki, discussed the recent downturns in the economy, why they were occuring, and the contrasts between the value of gold and the American dollar.
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
October 24, 2008, Cresskill, NJWhat business am I involved in?
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!
