<p>|today&#8217;s thought| if you make your bed, you&#8217;ve got to lye in it. Even if the blame lies elsewhere, you&#8217;re lying in it. Rather than whine &#038; moan about it, take massive action! Experience how quickly the bed becomes exciting to lye in rather than dreadful.<br />
<a href="http://www.internetfranchisetraining.com">-Internet Franchise Training-</a></p>
<p>All I am trying to say here is that it is up to us as individuals<br />
to man up to our current circumstances.  Once we own it<br />
it becomes very easy to create a plan of action to make any<br />
necessary adjustments.  </p>
<p>Massive action is the cureall answer for most challenges<br />
in life.  Whatever you find yourself in the midst of, taking<br />
massive action will create the momentum needed to achieve<br />
the desired outcome.<br />
</br><br />
There&#8217;s no time like the present!  I mean, what other<br />
realistic choice do ordinary people like us have?</p>
<p>Starting a home business on the side is<br />
what can set you free.  </p>

     I am 100% vested in assisting as many people as physically possible<br />
     take their lives back and create freedom in all respects.  </p>
<p>pps. Imagine a day when your biggest challenge is deciding which address<br />
      to have the checks sent to any given month.  It&#8217;s more realistic than<br />
      you think.<br />

<p>|today&#8217;s thought| when out with friends from high school who are &#8220;obviously&#8221; still a bad influence; lol, it&#8217;s best to go home early rather than drink &#038; party til the sun comes up&#8230;.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s so true that we don&#8217;t spend nearly as much time with old friends as<br />
we should.  Everybody&#8217;s busy&#8230;  Life is happening all around us.  Priorities<br />
become kids, work, etc. etc. etc.</p>
<p>This is not anything new.  Whats new for most is the fact that there is a<br />
way to overcome this challenge.  I have made it my lifes work to assist<br />
qualified people achieve freedom.  Let&#8217;s pray some of my old friends come<br />
to freedomsville with me so we can live life all day every day togther. If<br />
they don&#8217;t, I&#8217;ll have to play golf with the other retirees.  Who cares if they&#8217;re<br />
mostly twice my age.</p>
<p></br><br />
We both know things have changed forever.<br />
Leverage The Change!</p>

<h2><b> There&#8217;s No Way To Justify It Whatsoever!</b></h2>
<p>Can you really benefit using Traditional Solutions To Money Problems<br />
these days? There&#8217;s just no way you can convince me that it makes<br />
more sense for my wife and I to go out and get three jobs between us<br />
in order to duplicate the income we produce with our traditional Real<br />
Estate Companies. For the most part we feel like these companies own<br />
us, bigtime.  I even feel a little bit guilty writing this post.<br />
</br><br />
Even as the so called owners, we find it impossible to create the same type<br />
of revenue in the same number of hours as we once did back in the &#8220;good<br />
old days&#8221; of 2005 &#038; 2006.  That&#8217;s kind of supposed to be funny. Sometimes<br />
my attempts at humor really stink. </p>
<p>What I didn&#8217;t realize until much more recently, is that all the challenges<br />
we faced while relying on Traditional Solutions to Money Problems, along<br />
with the changes in the Real Estate world over the last 5 years, were there the<br />
whole time like a lighthouse at night, shining brightly to warn of the impending<br />
doom if a new course of travel was not set.  </p>
<p>We saw it all coming. We braced for it and we have managed to keep<br />
the ship on course through the storm.  This is primarily due to leverage.<br />
There are many types of leverage.  The problem is, traditional solutions<br />
to money problems typically teach you to become someone elses leverage<br />
rather than use that energy to create you&#8217;re own Leverage. </p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t take me as a whiner.  I am blessed and feel very fortunate<br />
to have had the success we&#8217;ve enjoyed.  The ups and downs in the<br />
Real Estate world will wind up being the thing that we point to most<br />
as the driving force behind our decision to expand our business lives beyond<br />
traditional solutions to money problems.<br />
</br><br />
We love being able to buck the trend and it is such a great feeling<br />
knowing that those traditional solutions to money problems that we used to<br />
rely on, are now just something that other people deal with, thanks to the<br />
leverage we have and continue to create with our Internet Franchise.<br />
</br><br />
Don&#8217;t get me wrong, we&#8217;re not where we want to be just yet.  The<br />
destination has been identified and the course of direction has been set.<br />
What we do know is that the very near future will be filled with some fast<br />
paced action as we follow through on the mission we set out to achieve.<br />
</br><br />
This was not a post for the purpose of plugging our Internet Franchise<br />
so I won&#8217;t say anymore.  There is plenty of time for me to share my vision<br />
with you.<br />
</br><br />
</br><br />
Count your blessings. We multiply &#8216;em.<br />
Freedomsville Awaits,<br />
</br><br />
Chris</p>
<p></br><br />
</br><br />
ps.  Screw getting 3 full time jobs.  There is a much better way.<br />
      It all starts with having a little belief in yourself.   Consider<br />
      for a moment that you had 100% control of your time and<br />
      the money to spend that time however you choose.<br />
      It can be for you too.<br />
</br><br />
</br><br />
pps. It all begins with getting fed up.  If you&#8217;re fed up &#038; you want<br />
       to vent, I am practicing my listening skills this week so you<br />
       can <a href="http://www.chrisolejniczak.com/contact-me">Call Me</a> and vent.  It will really help me out too.<br />
       <a href="http://www.chrisolejniczak.com/contact-me">Call Me And Vent</a>, Or Strategize Your Way Out!</p>

<div id="attachment_219" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 235px"><img src="http://www.chrisolejniczak.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/T-wrench_Full1-225x300.jpg" alt="Knuckle Buster" title="Leverage - Wrenches" width="225" height="300" class="size-medium wp-image-219" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Knuckle Buster</p></div><br />
Leverage is a lesson my father taught me when I was very young. The context was loosening &#038; tightening lug nuts on the wheels of his beat up Chevy pickup.</p>
<p>You see, my dad is an old school small business man that never understood how to apply Leverage In Business.</p>
<p>All the same, Leverage in business works much the same way it does in the practical sense. Utilization of a tool, tactic or talent which makes either a process or an outcome less burdensome for the participants.</p>
<p>I have read [somewhere] that in business either you HAVE Leverage or you ARE Leverage.</p>
<p><div id="attachment_221" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.chrisolejniczak.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/0810-main_Full1-300x199.jpg" alt="Ultimate Leverage - In Motion" title="Leverage - Job" width="300" height="199" class="size-medium wp-image-221" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ultimate Leverage - In Motion</p></div>
<p>This is so true. Whether at a Job, an independent contractor, a small business person or a CEO, Leverage plays an important role. Let&#8217;s look at a practical examples:</p>
<p>-Job- In most jobs Leverage is not possible for the employee. The employer has all the Leverage, YOU and all your fellow colleagues.</p>
<p>-Independent contractor- As an Independent Professional, you can either have Leverage or be leverage. Most are Leverage for the owner of the company that holds their license. Some, build teams of people to work &#8216;with&#8217; them. In this case, they create a small amount of Leverage for themselves.</p>
<p>-Small business owner- Here is where it gets interesting. In the beginning you are your business which means you are the CEO, the Secretary, the Marketing guy &#038; the Janitor. If you make it through that phase, in many cases your business is strong enough to create Leverage (hire staff to do the work) while you build the business bigger &#038; stronger.</p>
<p>-CEO- So you&#8217;ve made it [you think]! You are running a company that in many cases a &#8216;board of directors&#8217; hired you to. Here you definately HAVE Leverage. Your the big cheese. You earn income based on the efforts of everyone. This is great, except that at the same time you ARE Leverage for the board of directors and in many cases the shareholders. This trade off works for some and others wouldn&#8217;t think of it.<br />
<br />
<div id="attachment_223" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><img src="http://www.chrisolejniczak.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/boardroom11.jpg" alt="Leverage - The Stuffy Way" title="Leverage - Boardroom" width="300" height="225" class="size-full wp-image-223" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Leverage - The Stuffy Way</p></div></p>
<p>To wrap things up; Leverage In Business imitates Leverage in practical application.</p>
<p>Specialized use of a &#8216;force&#8217; applied properly can really have a dramatic impact on a situation or circumstance.<br /><div id="attachment_224" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 137px"><img src="http://www.chrisolejniczak.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/HTCAM927BOCADIYO3YCAVUDA6TCAQ14G1DCAPCIEA7CA0JZKESCA2UC9JNCAGEPVGBCAVBHPAPCAX64RV9CAA6XZBNCA96LRG7CAMGTYS2CASVPM5YCAC3ZHYCCAQTQQPGCADJYV4WCARF8VU8.jpg" alt="Leverage - For &#039;Everyday&#039; People" title="Leverage - In Business" width="127" height="102" class="size-full wp-image-224" /><p class="wp-caption-text">***Systemized Leverage*** For 'Everyday' People</p></div></p>
<p>So what&#8217;s best for you? It really depends&#8230;..</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;.on what? On what type of person you are now and what type of person your willing to become.</p>
<p>My story reveals why I feel strongly about this topic and why many people consider me an authority on the subject. You can find &#8216;my story&#8217; at the link below.</p>
