[Jonathan Hearty]

My name is Jonathan Hearty and I am a 19-year-old college drop out. I attended the University of California, Santa Barbara until about 2 months ago when I had an epiphany. Sitting in class one day, I discovered that school was not the place for me. I was wasting my time, my money, and a spot at the school because I no longer had the motivation to take school seriously. I have spent the last few years of my life educating myself on subjects regarding money, business, etc. My financial awakening began with Rich Dad, Poor Dad; since the day I finished that book, my outlook on life has never been the same.

It gradually became clear that school was not my path to financial freedom and would not help me reach my dreams. I decided to burn my bridges, drop out of college, and dedicate my time and energy to business and business alone. I now think of nothing besides family, friends, and my goal to not only reach financial freedom, but help others do the same along the way and lead of crusade to teach people the secrets of the rich.

Shortly after dropping out, I came across a business opportunity that I was originally skeptical to investigate. My roommate had run into an old friend from the dorms, who gave my roommate his number and told him that he should contact him regarding a very intereseting business opportunity. Because I'm always curious about things like this, I immediately had my roommate call his friend to get more details. On the phone, his friend said he would like to meet us to give us more information, but he wouldn't give any details regarding the business opportunity or product/service. I immediately thought "pyramid scheme" and told him that if he could not give me details over the phone, I would not meet with him. After he begged me to come, I decided it was worth my time to at least investigate; we set a meeting for the next day.

When I go to the meeting, I listened to what he had to say with open ears and an open mind, and I was sold immediately. After joining on the spot, I investigated further into the company and more importantly into network marketing, a revolutionary business entity. I read a book by the same author as Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, called Business School for People Who Like Helping People, which explains the power of network marketing The following are some incredibly exciting advantages to network marketing (please keep in mind that Robert Kiyosaki is in no way affiliated with any network marketing companies and didn't earn any of his vast fortune from it. He consequently has an objective point of view on the business entity and gives his unbiased professional opionion):

1. A business with a heart. The beauty of network marketing is that you only succeed when your team succeeds, as opposed to the corporate world where you must step on others to move up. Current management techniques of fear and intimidation are obsolete and create employees who only work hard enough to not get fired (probably because they are being paid the least amount of money that will keep them from quitting). In network marketing, you build a team and help them every step of the way. You win by helping, not hurting.

2. The power of leverage. Working as an employee or even as self-employed gives you no leverage. The more succesful you become, the more hours you are required to work. No matter how many years you work at the company (even if it is your own), you are limited by your own output. If you contribute 60 hour weeks now, you will still contribute 60 hour weeks 5 years from now (if you are lucky!). With network marketing, you can leverage your income by building a team that will ALWAYS be working for you. This way, if anything happens to you (you get sick, you break your leg, etc.), your income won't be significantly disturbed. Henry Ford once said something along the lines of "I'd rather make $1 off of 100 people than $100 off of 1." Pretty profound, huh? Common sense that is uncommon.

3. The beauty of PASSIVE (RESIDUAL) INCOME. What if at your current lifestyle (where you live, what you eat, how you dress, etc.), your monthly expenses were $5,000 and you had $10,000 coming in month after month, regardless of whether you worked or not. What would you do with your time? Probably not work the same job you are working right now. By building a team that works for you, you create passive income that comes in whether you are skiing in Aspen or golfing on Pebble Beach.

There are many more advantages, but reading this book opened up my mind. I stopped thinking about why it wouldn't work and started thinking about HOW it COULD work.

I am a firm believer that without a crusade, your success is limited. I am not saying there is anything wrong with working to make a living, but it is not a worthy crusade that will allow you to rise to the top. I am lucky enough to have two crusades:

1. TO BALANCE THE SCALES OF THE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND MAKE LEGAL REPRESENTATION AFFORDABLE ENOUGH FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN.

2. TO TEACH PEOPLE THE SECRETS OF THE RICH AND HOW BUSINESS SYSTEMS SUCH AS NETWORK MARKETING CAN BRING THE POWER OF BUSINESS TO THE MASSES.

If you are interested in joining my crusades and would like to talk further, please contact me. I am only here to help and to strengthen my crusades.

That's gotta be the blurriest stock shot of white folk I've ever seen. If I had an award for affiliate unoriginality you'd be today's winner, that's for sure.

[Jonathan Hearty]

I'm not really sure what jimmiejo is trying to say, but I can assure anyone who views this that my cause and affiliation are 100% legitimate. Pre-Paid Legal has been around for nearly 35 years and is publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker symbol PPD.

To those who are interested in turning around their financial situations:

1. This not a get-rich-quick scheme. It involves hard work, determination, motivation, foresight, and much more. IT IS NOT EASY, BUT IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

2. The first step is contacting me. I purposely did not include any details about the company or business opportunity itself for reasons I will explain when you contact me. The first step to reaching your goal of financial independence is contacting me. I won't bite, I am only here to help.

3. There are three people that come out of a Pre-Paid Legal opportunity presentation. The first is a skeptic; this person does not believe that the product has the potential to go anywhere. The second person realizes the amazing potential of the service and aknowledges is as a good idea, but does nothing about it. The third person has the courage and determination to make a change in their life and jump on the opportunity. There is very little you can lose and what you can gain is unlimited. WHICH PERSON ARE YOU?

I'm sure most people know wut pre paid legal services are hearty. I'm not trying to be mean, but I would go back to UCSB and finish up. I know it's hard to go to class, but it will pay off more than Pre Paid Legal Services will. Everything you said in the first post about marketing. I don't disagree that Pre Paid is a good idea, but I think people pitch it too much, and too aggressively. What it comes down to is Pre paid is an MLM, and very few people succeed in MLM's.

My Uncle did in Amway and he's loaded with money, but I guarantee over 3/4 of the people that signed up under him wasted a lot of time and maybe even lost money.....

you have this post in two sections, it gets annoying when you are viewing the forum an you notice that their are two of the same topics.

[Jonathan Hearty]

True, most people don't succeed with multi-level marketing. But how many people become Donald Trumps and Warren Buffets. Like I said, it is not easy, but it is WORTH IT. Most people won't succeed with Pre-Paid Legal, but the people who commit to success WILL. I'm not asking people to believe me, I'm offering an opportunity for the people who want to change their lives to do so.

This is beautiful copywriting. Well done.

You say exactly everything that you're supposed to say. It's a work of art.

[dlrsuperman]

I'm not trying to rain on your parade dude, but this forum is the least likely place that you are going to find someone to join your MLM business.

I'm not saying that you aren't legit at all, but most of the people here are interested in running their own business with a unique idea and not working through someone else's.
