Change is all around us. We see it everyday in the news. The economic landscape is under a tremendous amount of transition. The job market, which has gone through an extensive amount of change, has begun to stabilize, but it will never be the same again. Can you really trust staying in the job market, or going back to the job market if you have already lost your employment? It is clearly time to change the way we think about our lives and how we want to live it.
But before we begin, we have to talk about mindset. We’ve been programmed by that environment and that way of thinking since the Industrial Revolution. And, up until recent years, that has worked for most people. But now we live in a time where even retirement and pension plans are drying up or stolen in some cases by some companies. And, Social Security Administration can’t even guarantee it will be solvent when the next wave of retirees come flocking with forms in hand. Can you really afford to continue with the same mindset in the “New Economy?”

President Obama was on the Letterman Show last night, and he stated that although the economy has stabilized, new hiring will continue to lag, and unemployment will stabilize but not decrease right away. And it may take a few more years before we see a significant upswing. Can you really afford to wait that long?

However, he did state in the interview that entrepreneurship and small business is rising sharply and that it will be what will significantly fuel the economic recovery. Wouldn’t everyone like to be a part of that! But you are going to have to change your mindset to be a part of that. You are going to have to come out of the stale and stagnant box you have been sitting in, expecting a miracle. You have to MAKE the miracle happen through a carefully orchestrated game plan and MASSIVIE ACTION. It is not going to just plop into your lap. See yourself as a successful entrepreneur and a major leader in your community. Find other successful people and talk with them and find out why they got to where they are. Discover untapped talents you didn’t think you had before and expand on those talents. It’s what leaders and game changers do. They do something they have never done before to get what they never got before.

If you seriously want to change your game plan, your mindset, your sense of self, your lifestyle… just utterly change your entire being… and find successful leaders and mentors who have already paved the way to true financial freedom, GO TO MY WEBSITE, http://www.operationretirenow.com.

In other words, are you in the 3% of people who decided to take all out action and control over their lives…
Or are you in the 97% who decided their fate by working a traditional job on the 30 year plan, or starting a traditional brick and mortar business subject to economic changes and laziness and turnover of undependable employees, coupled with the huge overhead and costs just to keep the doors open… Or perhaps you are in the same 97% of the “tire kickers” of traditional MLM, or the ones that actually poured your heart and soul into your traditional MLM and made little or no money?

My name is Darryl Mason and, like many of you, I was a 97 percenter who once worked a traditional job, ran a traditional business (I own a trucking company,) and worked traditional MLM after traditional MLM and various “other” work from home schemes, home based businesses, etc., and made little if any money at any of them. I was in debt way over my head from trying and investing in other business ventures, coming up void.

I just knew that there had to be a different way. I just didn’t know what it was. Then I started scanning the net for something I could do at home, in my off time, to make extra money. I had to wade through a deluge of “get rich GOOGLE crap,” but, I finally found a way to, not only make extra money, but to replace the income I was already making and put myself on the fast track to creating true wealth. I’m a real person achieving real results through a company that not only helped me build my own custom website, but also created a system that automatically raked in, sifted and sorted all of my leads, and sold the products and services for me. I still had to do some work. After all, there is no such thing as “something for nothing.” It’s not worth having if you didn’t work for it. But with this system you just don’t have to work AS HARD.

“Sound’s great, Darryl! How do I find out more?”

If you are serious about becoming a true entrepreneur, go to my website and fill out the application.

Yes, I have an application process because I only want to work with those who are serious about building a real business, and serious about following directions and duplicating a step-by-step process.

And, yes, it is going to cost you some initial investment. Nothing is free in this world that is worth having. And I will tell you, my trucking company cost me over $30,000 just to start, before I even landed my first client. It won’t cost you anywhere NEAR that amount of money. My trucking company cost me about $30,000 per year in operating costs and expenses, insurance, repairs, etc. You will NEVER spend anywhere NEAR that amount. There is even a refund process if you decide to opt out. Does it get any better? Here’s to YOUR success!

Hello. My name is Darryl Mason and I would like to show you a new way I have found to make money. I tried all of the other “traditional” ways to generate income, including the trucking business I started from scratch but never could achieve the results I needed nor did it give me the freedom I wanted…
I started my trucking business in January, 2004 after quitting my full-time job as a city bus driver. I started my business with the intention of “firing my boss,” and being an entrepreneur. And it wasn’t a bad business. I’ve achieved a certain degree of success with it, although in order to make money, I was still trading time for money. If the truck didn’t move that day, it didn’t make money. And there were times that the truck didn’t move sometimes for weeks at a time. Some contracts I landed were good and paid well and had great hours and gave me great home-time. Some did not and had me on the road 12-14 hours a day–operating illegally (and unsafe) some days–and eating ramen noodles.

So I decided to take action…

I started doing research and I found a business that I could do myself, at any location I chose, with the flexibility of working around my hours driving my truck. I’m not the most technically savvy person and I needed to know the even I could work this business. Now I’m excited because I have learned how to generate huge amounts of income from home! And all I needed was some simple internet marketing training, a laptop, and a cell phone! I learned how to integrate a system that “finds, sifts and sorts” all of my leads for me without bothering all my friends, family members and other “warm leads.” I don’t have to sell, and beg people to buy any products because the website does all that for me! No more potions, lotions, or gadgets to sell or store. Everything’s done online!

Best of all, I am able to give people access to the same system that has put me on the path of generating the type of income I wanted. Since starting my business in August, 2009, I have since replaced my income driving my truck and now have the peace of mind and free time I was looking for when I first became an entrepreneur with my trucking business in 2004. I am real person, just like you, having been through some of the same pitfalls in my career and my business just like you. I just decided to do something completely different and change my path.

“Sounds great, Darryl! I want to know more!!!”

I just wanted to ask you a few questions today…

* What is your “why?”

* Is your “why” important enough?

* What will you do for your “why?”

The “why” I mentioned earlier refers to the reason you decided to become an entrepreneur in the first place. What is your “why?” Is it financial security? Is it vacationing when you want? Is it paying off your bills? Is it your children’s college tuition? Maybe it’s building a community center. Perhaps it is starting a youth program, or a summer camp. Whatever your “why” is, it should be something that is larger than yourself. It should be some goal, or series of goals, that creates value for yourself, and others, creating a positive outcome. My “why” is being able to do the things I want to do, when I want to do them, at my pace, with out anyone standing over my shoulder, nagging me with their own, dysfunctional methods, only to retire to a pittance of a pension, or sometimey 401k plan, subject to any economic calamity. In other words, I have complete and total control over my life and what I do with it, and, the ability to be able to give back and teach others how to do the same.

How important is your “why?” In other words, what are you willing to change in your mindset? What are you willing to do to “rewire” your thought process so you can learn the “how-to-dos,” “what-to-dos,” and “when-to-dos?” I decided to put away everything I thought I knew about starting and running a business and the pursuing of a career and decided to start completely over and be mentored by a group of people, who actually had my best interest at heart and had already achieved the type of success I was looking for.

What will you do for your “why?” What are you willing to sacrifice to make your goals happen? Are you willing to invest the time, money, and fortitude, and relationship building necessary to make your goals become a reality? I made a decision in my mind to do whatever it takes to make the goals happen and never look back. I decided that the “cost quotient” was worth it and took clear and concise action. Learn what is takes to fulfill your “why.”

What is having an awesome coaching mindset? First, you must understand that there is a clear and definite difference between a consultant and an expert. Consultants are experts, practicing and honing their skills in the field. As a business coach, you become the expert. YOU help the client navigate the treacherous terrain while allowing that person to choose the absolute best course on their own. As the awesome business coach you actually partner with the client to help get tasks done in a timely, efficient fashion. This helps tremendously by building the necessary trust to strengthen and anchor your coach-client relationship.

In the coaching process, you allow space for the client to use his/her own creative process to bear fruit in the form of self-discovery. You achieve this by being an expert listener, using your empathic listening skills to understand, rather than respond. This creates a “safety zone” for the clients to open up their own minds and create their own solutions. Instead of becoming the “director,” or the mule doing the work for them, you are the friend walking beside them. The professional coach learns to quickly inspire trust by listening wholly with no agendas. Learn to treat the other person as your OPW, or only person in the world. Be slow to judge, don’t rush to solve, and give them space to be who they are. Coaching is delegation in its supreme form.

In learning to be an awesome coach, you must learn how to economize the time it takes achieving the task. Be an active participant by partnering with your clients rather than be a superior to them. This will help you bolster their confidence and trust in you, tenfold. Developing the necessary skills and strong mindset of professional coaches will minimize your workload because you glean from your business partners, clients, prospects, and professional associates, what the tasks actually are, with vast efficiency.

As a professional coach, you must identify what the underlying issues are. Often it is what is NOT said that is most significant. As the professional coach, you must learn to become a much deeper listener. It is a skill you must practice in order to become a master listener and coach. You can use these skills in any of your relationships, personal or professional, and take them to a much higher level.

Make sure the message you send is the same message received. To find out the state and stage of the client’s business, you must place yourself in the other person’s shoes. Listen to what’s been happening in their lives, what actions they have taken, who they circulate with, what their current background is, anything to give you a context on how they might receive your message. You will be able to tune in to what your clients do and say in a way, using your subconscious mind, developing your skills and mindsets. Learn to see what is and isn’t there. Most may not, but, anyone can apply this skill. You must learn how to have a well trained eye to extract the needs in all your relationships.

What actions can you start executing immediately?
Begin with practicing true listening skills—whether you are speaking with a client or family member, associate, or friend, practice being completely “in the moment with them.” Listen to understand, not to respond. Come into their living rooms. Listen for tones, speed, and pauses. They are the signs along the road to let you know what’s really going on. Feel what they are saying and NOT saying. Those will be your clues as to where they are. Check in with them on occasion. Make sure you hear is what is really being said. Apply these skills to yourself. You will be surprised at what you find out! Use all of these extremely important skills to reduce the pressure and stress that comes with being a business owner. Become that awesome mentor for your client!

Have you reached that pivotal point in your life where you feel like life is dragging you by your toes? Tried of hitting that proverbial glass ceiling of Corporate America? Exhausted from putting in 40, 60, even 80+ hours a week, and your supervisor is still trying to squeeze more of something you ran out of after the 39th hour? Have your debts hugely exceeded your income? Are some of your excuses for staying on your job:

I need benefits and insurance.

Isn’t the JOB what’s making you sick?

I need a retirement plan.

With companies folding at an alarming rate, how do you know you will even have pension? And with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid soon to go belly up, can you count on any of that to sustain you? Or would you really enjoy sitting in that chair and waving to people at Wal-Mart for $8 an hour?

I need a steady paycheck.

With the ridiculously high rate of unemployment not predicted to recover for the next 3-5 years, who guaranteed you would even have a job tomorrow? And who lied to you and told you, you couldn’t achieve this yourself?

NOTHING is safe anymore. NOTHING is guaranteed anymore. The only thing safe or guaranteed in these days and times is death, taxes, and cockroaches… and the certainty of your life and lifestyle IF you take massive initiative now, letting go of that remote, and getting your behind up off that couch, doing something about it.

Remember, you are the person primarily responsible for your well being and the well being of your family. We have been conditioned to go to school, get a good paying career, and trust our families’ well being in the hands of third parties. That income model worked well a few decades ago. But is it working for you now?

The grand solution is within your reach. You absolutely can get back your free time again. You can determine when and where you and your family go on vacation. You absolutely can set your own hours, and you build the income you’ve been needing to fund the things you’ve always wanted to do, but just didn’t have the money to back them. With the home based business market skyrocketing, there are plenty of options to choose from. However, there are only a select few, at the moment—I’m talking about legitimate businesses, not the get rich spam you get in your mailbox–using this new model of going totally online! Although most are still using old models you can still be successful at them but it’s a lot more time and work. But even then, I have discovered a solution that will take any home based business to the next level. None of these opportunities are fast, easy money. You will have to do some work yourself. But once you get past the learning curve and get the proper mentoring, you can be extremely successful! If you are convinced at this point that entreprenuerialship is your best ticket to the absolute best lifestyle, that educating yourself on how to create unlimited wealth is worth doing, and you are ready to live out all of your dreams and get your freedom back, go to: http://www.operationretirenow.com

If you are one of those well read people who have read countless self-help books, or listened or watched intently to every CD and DVD telling you about the next “greatest life strategy” or the next “big secret to success.” Everyone has their own professional angle on the best things you should do and where the top places to start are. But who would know more about your greatest desires—all of these self-proclaimed, self-help gurus, or you?
Although, these publications do have some validity and a place, following every advisement in every self-improvement book is clearly not the answer. You must have a clear and concise understanding of what you really want, and a definite direction. There is no magic bullet to fit every person, but there are some basic premises that should get you started:

1. Write a Personal Mission Statement based on these five premises:
a. What do I really want?
b. Who am I
c. What is my purpose?
d. Where do I want to be?
e. How does what I do add value?

2. Based on your personal values and beliefs, design your lifestyle around YOU, instead of your circumstance dictating your lifestyle. Write these things down as you think of them. These are your “whys.”

3. Write down and prioritize your goals according to your Personal Lifestyle Design.

4. Take massive action! Decide the actions critical to achieving your goals and organize and practice them daily. This will be your Daily Method of Operation (DMO.)

5. Learn and practice good focus skills. Minimize your distractions and stick to your plan.

6. Be a problem solver. For every problem you encounter, come up with two solutions.

With your specific plan in place, designed by you, you have nearly cinched your chances for abundant success! Stay focused and dedicated to your plan and you should have no problem achieving what you once thought were only dreams! If you are ready to start a business that will not only generate you significant amount of income, but will give you all of the necessary training mentoring and leadership skills to get you to the top.

"Darryl C MasonI’m just an ordinary guy, living an extraordinary life, by design and by choice. I was like many of you, struggling to find a better way to live.

I was a school bus driver for 13 years with Winston-Salem/Forsyth Schools. I knew I wasn’t going to achieve the type of success I was looking for there, so I moved to Durham, NC and got a higher paying job working as a city bus driver for Chapel Hill Transit. Along the way I tried various MLMs, working second and third jobs, trying to reach that place where I finally had the solid ground and peace of mind that everyone strives for. I woke up one day and I was 40 years old and I still wasn’t there.

So I started my initial business by buying a truck and becoming an owner/operator, a hugely expensive venture, but, at times, had some rewards. I didn’t have to “clock in” to an unrewarding dead end job that left me not knowing what to expect when I walked through the front door everyday (I won’t get into the conniving and politicking that went on.) But, as the years rolled on the economy went further south, my opportunities to get decent contracts and freight jobs went the same direction. And I was still trading time for money…

It was not until I joined this company that I learned how to design my life, instead of life designing me. And it wasn’t even about the money. It was about learning how to put the things in my life that I wanted the most, and learning how give back by leading others to achieve the same, and having them join a community that will help them get there so they are not alone. Showing people how to use a system to get what they want. Wow! What a concept! Want to learn more? Go here: http://www.operationretirenow.com
