The words just come tumbling out, don’t they?

You know - about how to do a double axel or secret of painting model EXACT color of original or what a beautiful blue flower is. Your enthusiasm and love of subject shows right through and infects other person.

You find that you know a lot about subject because it’s so interesting to you. I mean, no one can ask you a question that you don’t know answer to and you know all best techniques to catch all fish as well as winners of all grand slams for past 50 years.

When we find a subject interesting, we tend to absorb information about it like a sponge. We find every aspect fascinating and love to know every little detail.

Now look at way you feel when you have all that knowledge.

You feel confident, able to hold your own, proud, interested and sure of yourself.

Well, why not try to feel this way about work you do, as well? Think of how much better you’d feel if you knew answer to almost any question that your workmates could ask? The boost to your self-confidence would be tremendous.

When you go into a meeting and you’re well prepared, you can answer almost any (if not all) questions put to you.

Hope can get you through those days boss is screaming at you.

Hope keeps you humming while you are walking down road because your car ran out of that last 50 cents worth of gasoline.

Hope keeps you in a good mood when other person got promotion, or raise that you really did deserve.

Hope provides an inner warmth when you are in cold scraping ice off your windows to get to work.

Hope provides a smile, even when only a dollar is left after paying essential bills, and kids want to go to McDonalds.

Hope gives you a spring in your step as you work at job that promised long lasting rewards, but only delivered a lifetime of bondage.

Hope takes you into a blissful state, when you feel 4 walls closing in from house that has held you captive with domestic duties.

Hope is a healthy drug, provided by our creator(s) that provides relief from physical, mental, and spiritual pain.

Hope is a comforter, when love of your life leaves you.

I have experienced all of these situations, as have most of you. But hope I held for my future helped to bring me through them. I want to help you have hope, this magical ingredient of life.

I will not provide promises of instant wealth and independence, because I cannot provide that. I know that you receive many offers of business opportunities that promise overnight riches. But even if that were true, I do not believe it is natural and good.

Studies of shown that 90% of all persons that come into immediate wealth are worse off financially, emotionally, and mentally after 5 years than before they received wealth. Why do you suppose this is?

I believe that nature must teach us self-discipline, self-respect, respect of other persons, respect of power, and many other things before we are given responsibility of wealth or independence. I have read dozens and dozens of biographies and autobiographies of successful persons, and I have learned that those that were happy and healthy with their wealth, obtained it over a period of time, not instantly.

They provided a product or service that was worth more than money they were charging, and they believed that what they were doing was for good of society. The main motivation was not money, but what they would be able to do to help, improve, build, and solve problems.

Because of experiences they had building their business they learned important character qualities that were necessary to handle wealth as it came naturally. The hard lessons were a blessing in long run, preparation for greater responsibilities.

But wealth that was provided almost instantly, was hope for future. Hope for a better living. Hope for recognition. Hope for love. Hope for many things important to them.
