The Secret to Building a Highly Profitable Business

===================================================
The first business of any business is to make a profit…
Plain and simple!
Think about it…
Regardless of what kind of business it is, regardless of whether it’s selling a product or a service, regardless of whether it’s doing business online or offline, if a business isn’t making a profit it doesn’t have any reason to exist, does it?
However…
Profit alone isn’t enough.
*How* a profit is made has far more to do with the ultimate success or failure of a business than the profit itself.
You see…
In order for a business to make a profit, it must have sales. It might be sales of a product or it might be sales of a service. Either way, a business must have sales in order to make a profit.
And…
In order for a business to have sales, it must have customers – people who are willing to exchange their money for the business’ product or service.
So…
Building a *highly* profitable business really boils down to getting and, more importantly, keeping customers… lots of them!
Now…
Here’s the secret to getting and keeping customers, and thus the secret to building a *highly* profitable business…
In his classic masterpiece, “The Science of Getting Rich”, Wallace D. Wattles wrote:
“… you do not have to get something for nothing, but can give to every man more than you take from him.”
The key word here is *more*.
He continued…
“You cannot give every man more in cash market value than you take from him, but you can give him more in use value than the cash value of the thing you take from him.”
“The paper, ink, and other material in this book may not be worth the money you pay for it; but if the ideas suggested by it bring you thousands of dollars, you have not been wronged by those who sold it to you; they have given you a great use value for a small cash value.”
On the other hand…
Wallace D. Wattles continued…
“Let us suppose that I own a picture by one of the great artists, which, in any civilized community, is worth thousands of dollars. I take it to Baffin Bay, and by “salesmanship” induce an Eskimo to give a bundle of furs worth $500 for it. I have really wronged him, for he has no use for the picture; it has no use value to him; it will not add to his life.”
“But suppose I give him a gun worth $50 for his furs; then he has made a good bargain. He has use for the gun; it will get him many more furs and much food; it will add to his life in every way; it will make him rich.”
Therein lies the secret to getting and keeping customers, and thus the secret to building a *highly* profitable business…
Give every person with whom you deal more in use value than you take from them in cash value.
By giving every person with whom you deal *more* in use value than you take from them in cash value, you’re *adding* to the life of the world with every business transaction, rather than taking away from the life of the world with every business transaction, and thus putting yourself in the way of increase.
Later in “The Science of Getting Rich”, Wallace D. Wattles had this to say on the subject:
“You must so impress others that they will feel that in associating with you they will get increase for themselves. See that you give them a use value greater than the cash value you are taking from them.”
“Take an honest pride in doing this, and let everybody know it; and you will have no lack of customers. People will go where they are given increase; and the Supreme, which desires increase in all, and which knows all, will move toward you men and women who have never heard of you. Your business will increase rapidly, and you will be surprised at the unexpected benefits which will come to you. You will be able from day to day to make larger combinations, secure greater advantages, and to go on into a more congenial vocation if you desire to do so.”
Giving more in use value than you receive in cash value is the single, most important concept you could possibly apply to your business…
It’s *the* secret to building a *highly* profitable business… one that’ll last!

Investing in China’s Infrastructure – Euro Pacific Capital
I’m sure you’re probably wondering why I would post something like this on a Christian blog. Well, this is about the news from a Christian perspective.
Money and financial management should be just as important to non Christians as they are Christians. The reason is that we have to eat just like everyone else. In my house, “you don’t work,you don’t eat.”
This offer is being made by Peter Schiff, the author of Crash Proof 2.0, and the owner of Europacific, an investment company. I’m a big fan of Peter’s because his book is very similar to Dr. Larry Bates, “The New World Economic Disorder.” Both tell what we can expect in the economy, and it’s not good.
If you are currently looking for investments that will see you through the coming economic recession, I highly recommend you check out this free report, as well as Schiff’s book. It’s a real eye opener.

Quite frankly, I’m sick of the victim mentality in the United States. I’m tired of the whining of blacks, liberals, and others who had rather whine and complain about their lives than take responsibility for themselves.
Not one person I ever met lived a perfect life or got issued a perfect life. Life is not for the faint of heart, nor is it easy for anyone. The secret, and the real secret is that if you want to succeed in life, you have to be willing to stand up to any adversity and go through it, over it, around it, or whatever you have to do.
You must conquer your adversities. No one can do it for you. No one will do it for you, and if you are sitting around waiting on someone else to fix your life, you will never know happiness, peace, or abundance. That’s life.
Most people forget that Jesus was from a minority. I really don’t know if He was a Roman citizen or not. Pilate expected the Sanhedrin to deal with Jesus, but they turned the situation around so that it became a civil matter that Pilate had to handle it, and he executed Jesus. The charge was treason, and he labeled Jesus as King of the Jews.
There is a lesson in this for all of us, regardless of your race, creed, color, sex, or whatever. Even when you are right, even when you are doing the right thing, if you are standing up for what is right, you will face a lot of criticism, and you may even have to pay for doing the right thing with your life. This can be the price of success, and no one can argue that Jesus didn’t live a successful life.
The biggest lie told about him is that he was a poor carpenter. Nothing could be further from the truth. Jesus was given more gold, frankincense, and myrrh when he was two years old than he would ever spend. Jesus became a carpenter because it was frequently the case that rabbis had a trade. They only evangelized part time. Paul was a tent maker. He made tents for a living.
Jesus was also a man of authority, and people listened to him. If you want people to take you seriously and listen to you in business, you have to have something to say that’s worth hearing. Trust me when I tell you that when it comes to business, I’ve never heard an intelligent word come out of the mouths of liberals. The ones that do go into business don’t understand it, and most of them won’t because they think they have to “save the world, or the whales,” or something silly like that.
If you want to change the world, change yourself. We can all use a little work to make us better people. Unfortunately, liberals are arrogant enough to believe that everything around them is wrong. When you stop working from the outside in, and start working from the inside out, that’s when you will find true change, and your life will become better.
Educate yourself. Learn everything you can. There is a such a thing as Universal Human Truth. There are things that no matter who says them, or where they came from, are truth. Period.
If liberals don’t like the “rules,” they try to change them. What’s wrong with gravity, or heterosexuality, or the way God made things to work? What’s wrong with mankind being more important than the animals? We are made in the image of God. We are far more important in the kingdom of God than the animals. God didn’t offer them a choice between heaven and hell, or a chance to live a sentient life the way we were.
So, if you want to live a successful life, here’s what you do:
1. Take responsibility for your life. Everything. Period. As Jack Canfield says in “The Success Principles,” you are responsible for your own life. You may not have caused everything that happened, but you are responsible for your response to what has happened to you. Take responsibility, and you will feel a whole lot better about your life.
As someone once said, “Life isn’t about what happens to us. It’s about what we do with what happens to us.”
2. Ditch your baggage. If you like to hold a grudge, stop. Let it go. Turn it over to God. Get rid of your baggage. Holding onto it doesn’t hurt those who hurt you. It hurts you. Period.
3. Why should you care what others think of you? This is something I have noticed that gays, blacks, liberals, and a lot of other people who aren’t sure of themselves do. They allow others to define who they are. “Be nice.”
Nice is what you use to describe someone when you don’t have anything “nice” to say about them. This usually comes from being mediocre, which is something that most people in American society suffer from.
It is up to you to define who you are. Why should you care about what someone you don’t know or doesn’t sign your pay check think? I am all for listening to what others have to say. I will consider your opinion, but don’t whine if I shoot you down as an idiot because your opinion is neither well thought out nor educated. Which leads me to my next point:
4. Educate yourself. One thing I’ve noticed about those who fall prey to liberalism is that they are easily influenced. The Founding Fathers rejected the Enlightenment. They could have based the United States on the principles that later inspired the French Revolution, among other things, but they didn’t. Instead, they chose Christian principles instead. They did this because they understood, and it was obvious to them, that God existed. They made this the basis for writing both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
It is up to you to decide how your life turns out, and if you aren’t willing to take responsibility for your own life, don’t expect others to do it for you.

Free Teleseminar
I recently joined a new direct marketing company called TVI Express. The reason I joined this company is because I love to travel, and this company offers discount travel services.
It turns out that it also offers an excellent business opportunity, and it is one that I would recommend to any Christian who is interested in starting a new business.
As I have gotten to know my new sponsor, Don G, I have found that he is a wealth of information. I also found out that he used his direct marketing business to pay off more than $600,000 in taxes to the IRS. He was able to do this because he earned all of the money from running a home business.
This may seem like an extreme example. After all, most people won’t earn that kind of money in their lifetimes. However, I read the other day that between 2006 and 2016, 10 million Americans will become millionaires. This is definitely exciting. Even if you didn’t become a millionaire, you could still earn enough money from a home business to help live a very comfortable lifestyle.
If you are interested in learning how to get debt free, pay off your taxes, improve your retirement, or whatever you want to do with the money, you want to attend this teleseminar. It’s free.

KMA Cash: Make Money Without a List, a Website, or Expensive Pay Per Click – (Right Click to Download)
One of the things I’ve never talked about that I really wish I had is why I created the Killer Marketing Arsenal classifieds website.
When I first started using classified ad syndication to market my websites, I found that it cost about $75 a month for about 120 ads. This is about $2 an ad, and to be honest, there are a ton of ways to market online that are much more cost efficient.
I found a script that would allow me to build a classified ads site where I could syndicate my ads to over 200 classified ad sites including Facebook, MySpace, Local, Walmart, Backpage and others. The best part is that I could do search engine optimization on this website, as well as use things like RSS, bookmarking, and other internet marketing techniques that these other classified ad sites weren’t using. Not only would this help me, it would help those who subscribed to my site get more traffic and sales too.
On this site you get unlimited classified ads to unlimited destinations, and the ads are syndicated. I do this for only $10 a month.
The entire process to teach you how to make $300 – $3000 a month is fully explained in the ebook above, and you can download it for free, no op tin required.
