Rich is being in the top 1% of all households, that’s $350,000 annual income and $1,500,000 in net worth.   We are dedicated toward building business owners into that 1% club.    
You CAN get rich owning your own business.   Your business can generate positive cash flow – quite possibly becoming a virtual cash cow that only requires your time a few hours a week and still puts you in the top 1%.    I’m going to show you how.
To get rich you may need a gigantic sales program, you might need $1,000,000 investor or you might need a CFO to guide your financials.   You might need all three.    But those are all problems that can be solved with a check book and as my doctor loves to tell me, “any problem that can be solved by a check book, is not a very big problem. ”
Now, getting rich and creating a virtual cash cow business won’t happen unless you know the ONE most important rule of business. However, I won’t just give you that rule – you have to discover it for yourself. Blabbing out some words of wisdom is like throwing water on a ducks back, it rolls right off.   But you’ll find the ONE rule right in front of you many times over the next year.
First thing to know today – it is not easy to get rich, but it is fun and any one can do it. The biggest obstacle you face is one of real estate. Not the location of your building, but the real estate between your left and right ear. To make it to the 1% you’ll need knowledge, wisdom and the guts to take bold actions.    
On this web site I’ll show you how I went from high school drop out to the 1% club along with examples of how hundreds of others, that I personally know, made it too.   I am volunteering to be your mentor.   I want you to be rich.   If you’re rich, you’ll hire more people, you’ll buy more stuff, you’ll give more to charity, you’ll live longer, and by example you will teach your children and staff how to get rich too.   Adam Smith was right – you and I are the wealth of nations.   I am also hoping that you outsource your bookkeeping to our local accountant.   They will become your interactive sounding board on creating wealth.   From time to time we’ll do joint teleconferences to provide some help on the way.
So now how tough will it be.    
I was in a business start up conference last week where the speaker asked the audience how much money they believed their new business would net them per year.      The lowest number in the room was $100,000.   At $100,000 you’re in the 5% club.   Not bad, but not rich.
The sad truth is – that out of the 253 businesses that started in my community last month, only one will ever get to $1,000,000 in sales.   At 10% profit (the average for small businesses) you must generate that much in annual sales just to take home $100,000.    You’re going to need to do even better if you want in the 1% club.
Why such bad results. Well out of the 253 (and these are the real businesses that have a license, bank account and phone number for the new company, so we’re not talking MLM or affiliate deals here)  151 will go out of business entirely in the first 12 months.   Most of those were just so unprepared they had no chance. Of the 102 that are left 50 more will fail in the next 4 years – that group had a chance, but they did not take the time to learn the ONE rule.   Of the 52 remaining – only 1 will get to $1,000,000 in sales, the amount needed on average to make $100,000 income.    
Those odds sound terrible, because they are terrible. But you can skip the trend.   Here is the first step in getting to the 1%.   Every night before you go to bed, make a list of the 3 things you should do the next day that will have the biggest impact on your business one year from today.   Make the list before you go to sleep.    In the morning tape the list on your PC and every time you think of it, look over at the list and ask this one question.   “Is what I’m doing right now the most important thing I could be doing?”
Do this every day for the next week, and you’ll start acting like a CEO,  not the busiest and hardest working person in your company. So as we say in Wyoming when its time to go into action “Lets Ride. ”
