    *Must read* for all young aspiring wealth seekers!

    "To Get Rich, you will need to follow a different
    path than your fellow classmates."


    Every year, more and more graduates are leaving school unprepared to create the life of wealth, abundance and freedom that they’re searching for.

    Way too many graduates and young people today are living paycheck to paycheck. They owe hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in credit card debt. They’re still paying off student loans, and have very little time to spend with their families, let alone free time for themselves.

    Young adults go off to college or university for at least 3 to 4 years, spend tens of thousands of dollars on tuition and books, and tens of thousands more on rent and living expenses during their post secondary years.

    The average student debt carried today is in excess of $20,000. For medical students, the amount can be from $80,000 to over $100,000! Debt that will take years to pay off. But before it is paid off, more debt in the form of car loans and even mortgages will likely be added to the tally.

    For graduates who choose to enter the corporate world, they would be lucky to find themselves earning $50,000 per year. To “keep up with inflation,” they may get incremental pay raises, but this is becoming rarer all the time. So, they have just spent the last 3 to 4 years at college or university, racked up somewhere between $20,000 to $100,000 dollars to hopefully get their dream job but will likely end up settling for something that will just pay the bills.

    A college or university education is certainly highly valued and worthwhile, however, the jobs that one tends to get from a post-secondary education don’t likely create either time or financial freedom! And “job security” are two words that just don’t go together anymore.


    "The only security you have is when you
    are looking at the boss in the mirror."


    The truth is, new graduates and young adults, and most middle-aged adults for that matter, usually never end up with their “dream job.” They end up in jobs they don’t particularly like and they spend the next several years of their life trying to like the job they have.

    According to the Fresno California based research firm, Decipher, 72% of all adults would rather work for themselves than for another company and 67% think about quitting their jobs “regularly” or “constantly.”

    Now fully entrenched in the “rat race” spinning their wheels on a treadmill to nowhere, these dissatisfied souls wake up day after day to a screaming alarm clock only to fight traffic, struggle to get to work on time, to do a job that they think about quitting regularly.

    They’re overworked, underpaid and stressed to the max. Even their health takes a beating due to the pace they’re working at and the little time they have for proper eating habits. It’s no secret that obesity is on the rise due to eating at fast-food windows all the time.

    Yet they still hope in vain that someday it will get better. The unfortunate and sad truth is it that for most, it doesn’t get any better. In fact it usually gets worse!

    For everything that seems better, such as a raise because they’ve been working so hard, there is a price to pay. Usually the expectation to work even harder will come with that promotion!

    To make matters worse, there is widespread corporate downsizing and manufacturing plant closures weekly, and people find themselves praying to keep these jobs they don’t even like!

    They’ve spent years in school, thousands of dollars on education, had countless interviews, only to end up stressed and depressed in a dead-end job they cling to for financial security.

    How ridiculous is this?

    You may be looking for a way to have more money and more time freedom in your life. The brutal irony is that in order to make more money at a job, you have to sacrifice your time freedom.

    So what happens is that you end up living to work, not working to live.

    Even the people who earn a six-figure income often find that they are working longer hours, more weekends, and taking fewer vacations than ever before. All in the search of financial freedom.

    They went after the higher paying jobs in hopes of more “time freedom,” but they found out the hard way that those jobs require more time, not less, and they end up even more stressed than if they were working some lower paying job that offered more free time.

    How do you escape this trap? Well that’s what I show people on my website: Building Wealth For Young Adults

    Going out and looking for a high paying job with benefits may seem like the right thing to do. But if you want to be rich, wealthy people will tell you that “getting a job” is not the way to find your fortune.

    If you ever want to create any lasting wealth in your life, you need to understand that…

    You will never become wealthy working for someone else at a job.


    The wealthy play by a different set of rules. And unless you know the rules of the game, you’ll constantly get beat.

    To get yourself on the right track quickly and ensure that you achieve your BEST LIFE, head over to my site to learn about some strategies that you can start to implement in your life - starting today!

    While you're there, feel free to get your hands on my free ebook, "How To Get Rich, Retire Young and Escape 9 to 5 For Good!" You'll learn about a strategy that many young adults are using to achieve the financial results they desire.

    Yours in Success!

    My biggest question to anyone writing these get rich etc books, is how rich and successful are you yourself? It seems like there are far too many 'experts' that really don't practice their 'amazing strategies'.

    Sorry if you actually are successful due to your teachings, but I am sure you understand where I am coming from.

    Just as a side note after reading through your website a bit, I think that internet marketers talk too much about there is no job security for people in the corporate world etc. It is always blown out of proportion, and how can you state they are more likely to get income every week with your home business opportunities, compared to a multi-national billion-dollar company?

    I am sure SOME people do make money through these ideas, though I also state that it is very misleading to tell people how much better off and secure their income will be if they take one of the 'life-changing internet marketing opportunities' online.

    Agreed.. I doubt 99% of these people would write these ebooks if they were actually successful or "rich". Why would you even waste your time writing these things to sell 5-10 ebooks for $5/10 each if you already have a system that's working for you. This particular one is free, but I'm talking about ebook authors as a whole.

    Some people have become very wealthy from this, though it is only the very top who make a great income.

    I hate the misleading statements that anyone can just come and create a new life, work when you want and travel etc. It should be cracked down on by regulatory bodies a lot more.

    well most of above is true, but I think its up to the individual to create change, and the e-books and all that are just for creating a new way for the rat racers to think.

    after all there is a market for most things, and if the e-books sell then that's just one more income stream

    I actually really like this niche market you are targeting Simon. Helping college graduates find financial freedom is a great service.

    Do you speak at many universities?

    Will,

    I totally see where you are coming from and I agree that there are probably a lot of people who don't "practice what they preach." I do assure you that I do and I'm making an excellent living from my multiple streams of income. As I discuss on my site, I invest in real estate, trade in the stock market and I also am involved with network marketing.

    Maybe your reality is that you perceive that internet marketers talk too much about the lack of financial security, but my experience also being a commercial real estate adviser who gets the listings to sell and lease the corporate headquarters of many multi-national billion-dollar companies, the reality in today's economy is that there is no job security any more. I see it every day how the world is changing and I also talk with the hundreds of employees who used to work at the buildings (white collar and blue collar) that are no longer employed.

    As I stated in my original message, I believe (and you have every right to disagree) that the only security that you have is when you are your own boss. Sure it can be a little scary by going out on your own, but I have to say that in my own personal experience and from the experiences of the people in the Rich Grads Network, they do have a lot more security with their income because they have added additional income streams in their lives. And there really isn't anything misleading about real experiences.

    Encryped,

    I going to challenge that comment that you made a bit because I think that many authors may find it way off base to what their motivations are. Many of them may just want to help out other people straight out of the goodness of their own hearts. I see a need for young adults to get better financially educated and I want to help provide the resources to the ones that want them. I think it has more to do with the difference between someone who is just "selling" compared to someone who is "serving."

    I can't speak for the motivations of others, but I know that there are authors like Wayne Dyer, Robert Kiosaki, Donald Trump, Oprah who write not because they need the money, but because they want to give back.

    See where I'm coming from?

    Will,

    In most every company I've ever seen it is the people at the top who make all the money. This is true.

    In network marketing however, people can come in years later and make more money than people who started at the beginning. It's a business model where whomever puts in the most effort, makes the most - and you know what I call that? Fair.

    I don't understand why you hate the so-called "misleading statements" that anyone can come in and create a new life, work when you want and travel etc.... but it's true! When you become an entrepreneur, you have that freedom. What's wrong with that? I don't follow?

    Pacificfame,

    Thanks for the props. I actually do speak at many universities in my home province of Ontario. Two weeks ago was my last seminar at Brock University in St. Catharines Ontario Canada. It went great and they are going to have me back as the information was fully embraced by the attendees. With the way the worlds economy is, many young adults are very concerned with finding work after graduation and they are hungry to learn about alternative ways to secure themselves financially.

    My future plans include taking the "Rich Grads" philosophy across Canada at colleges and universities.

    I usually also dislike the whole "get rich with this system" stuff but I would like to give this guy props. People were slamming his idea and he rebutted quite beautifully. Mad props

    Which is why I didn't exactly question your motive when I saw that it was free. I made that statement for those who do charge, because if they're marketing it to make money, clearly it's not out of the goodness of their hearts.

    My father lived by this same code, "The only person you should ever work for is you", and passed the mantra onto me. However, I must say that self employment is not for everyone. If your goal in life is to get "rich", then you may be one of the thousands of people who fall pray to "get rich quick" schemes every day. What a lot of people don't realize is self employment is a huge risk in itself and requires hard, hard, hard work. I am self employed and I can't tell you the last time I called the day quits at 5! No one matches my 401K contribution, no one pays for me to be on a group health insurance plan, and no one covers payroll expenses... no one but myself. So if you are seriously thinking about owning your own business, be prepared to work (and even pay) for it! But the rewards for your hard work can potentially be sweeter than anything Corporate America could ever give to you!

    Great Information.

    I think everyone should take a step back and look at this gentlemen s real motives. Hes offering value.

    We go to high school for a Scholastic Education

    We go to College or University for a Professional Education

    How can we plan on being financially free if we DO NOT have a financial education?

    I believe the service you are offering to be very vaulable, despite the competition in my given Niche.


    Its great to meet another successful individual who understands the importance of a financial education and is taking the steps to help others obtain one.

    Cheers!
