In fact, she came from a broken family and she was abused as a child. She's also African-American and a woman, so discrimination was likely a factor that counted against her somewhere along way.

So why is she now worth a billion dollars while many Harvard-educated, white males who grew up with every advantage only make a comfortable living?

Ever wonder why success seems to come easily for some people while others struggle at everything they do? What makes difference?

Success in Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), Network Marketing, or anything else in life is predictable and can be duplicated by following time-tested principles that all millionaires use.

In fact, if you don't receive training in these principles of wealth, you can NEVER have it in your life. At least not for long. If you do somehow become wealthy in MLM without learning these principles, you won't keep it.

Want proof? Just look at people who have won lottery:

William "Bud" Post won $16.2 million in Pennsylvania lottery in 1988. Now he lives on his Social Security and food stamps which amounts to $450 a month.

Ken Proxmire was a machinist when he won $1 million in Michigan lottery. He moved to California and went into car business with his brothers and he filed for bankruptcy within five years.

Suzanne Mullins won $4.2 million in Virginia lottery in 1993. Today she's deeply in debt to a company that loaned her money using winnings as collateral.

"Winning lottery isn't always what it's cracked up to be," says Evelyn Adams. She won New Jersey lottery not just once, but twice (1985, 1986), in an amount of $5.4 million. Today she lives in a trailer and all money is gone.

Janite Lee from Missouri won $18 million in 1993. She generously gave her money to a variety of causes including politics, education and community. According to published reports, eight years after winning, Lee had filed for bankruptcy with only $700 left in two bank accounts and no cash on hand.

Willie Hurt of Lansing, Mich., won $3.1 million in 1989 and two years later he was broke and charged with murder. His lawyer says he spent his fortune on a divorce and cocaine.

The Easiest Way to Hit a Goal Is to Give Yourself One to Hit

It seems as though so many people are seeking more, wanting more, and expecting more in their lives, yet when pressed about what “more” would look like, rarely can they give a definitive answer.

They say things like, “I want to be happy,” or “I want to be rich,” or “I want perfect mate.” To be honest, as wonderful as those statements are, they’re far too vague to ever be reached.

What does happiness look and feel like? What’s your definition of rich? How would you describe that perfect mate? Each of us has a different interpretation of what those things mean.
