PAY ATTENTION!

Scams run rampant in every area of our lives.
Especially in the Make Money Online industry.

Scams are about distraction. It’s so easily done.

By distracting your focus to the glittering, shiny promises of EASY MONEY, your hopefulness causes you to miss the “slight of hand” distraction and you are an easy target for scams.

You gotta pay attention.

By not paying attention, you can be easily distracted as this professional pickpocket, Apollo Robbins, demonstrates.

PAY ATTENTION to these common distractions in the online marketing industry:

PUSH BUTTON EASY MONEY
FAST $$$$$ IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING
NEVER TALK TO A PROSPECT
SIT BACK AND WATCH THE MONEY ROLL IN

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text text_font_size=”16px”]

Making money online doesn’t have to be hard.

But it does require your investment of time and money,
and a commitment to do the work …including selling.

And the first person you need to “sell” is yourself.

If you have a lack of self-worth, a fear of selling, or
any hesitation to step up and do whatever it takes to
be successful, check out what we are doing to help
you eliminate these limiting beliefs.

and the “writing on the wall” is:

The inevitable?

Technology will replace a ton of jobs … maybe even yours.

Amazon has just announced that it is developing a line of grocery stores that will allow you to shop and leave without ever standing in line to check out.

Now, at first glance, most everyone will say “Whew! That’s fantastic!” because we all hate standing in line to check out.

Have you used self-checkouts at Wal-Mart and grocery stores? That was just the first step towards automation of the shopping experience. But now, Amazon Go has stepped across the threshold of a new frontier by eliminating the need for any check outs, any registers, any cashiers. You will just place items n your cart as you shop and then walk out the door.

Amazon will definitely impact the grocery store business with this “Just Walk Out” technology.

In this article from the New York Post “Amazon Introduces Next Major Job Killer to Face Americans, we read:

The company wants to open more than 2,000 brick-and-mortar grocery stores, compared with about 2,800 operated by The Kroger Co., now the nation’s largest full-service grocery retailer. Britt Beamer, president of America’s Research Group, a consumer-behavior research and consulting firm, estimated that Amazon’s cutting-edge technology had the potential to wipe out 75 percent of typical grocery-store staff.

No matter what you think about Amazon Go, it’s here, it’s coming to your area and whether you choose to adapt won’t affect the momentum and the changes that technology is bringing to all areas of our lives.

It’s the 4th Industrial Revolution and it’s happening NOW!

Here’s what Forbes recently reported about the 4th Industrial Revolution:

The first Industrial Revolution was about harnessing steam power so that muscle could be replaced by machines. The second was driven by electricity and a cluster of inventions from the late 19^th century onwards – including the internal combustion engine, the aeroplane and moving pictures. A third revolution began in the 1960s and was based on digital technology, personal computing and the development of the internet. Industrial Revolution 4.0 will be shaped by a fresh wave of innovation in areas such as driverless cars, smart robotics, materials that are lighter and tougher, and a manufacturing process built around 3D printing.

For example, as automation increases, computers and machines will replace workers across a vast spectrum of industries, from drivers to accountants and estate agents to insurance agents. By one estimate, as many as 47 percent of U.S. jobs are at risk from automation.

Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, author of The Fourth Industrial Revolution writes:

In this fourth revolution, we are facing a range of new technologies that combine the physical, digital and biological worlds. These new technologies will impact all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenge our ideas about what it means to be human.

Schwab said, “The changes are so profound that, from the perspective of human history, there has never been a time of greater promise or potential peril.”

Amazon’s announcement of Amazon Go is a wake-up call to you –

IF you are concerned about job security and your future (and everyone should be.)

And if you haven’t considered creating your own economy, i.e., building your own business … it’s time.

The lure and enticement of being your own boss is the freedom.

freedom from working for someone else,
freedom from being evaluated and rewarded/punished as a result,
freedom from having to ask permission to take time off to attend your kid’s soccer game, recital, school program, etc.
freedom from having to weigh whether you should stay home when you’re sick or go in and work so you don’t get docked.

Everyone wants freedom.

Not everyone is willing to do what it takes to gain freedom. Not everyone will see the writing on the wall. In fact, most people are actually afraid of being free. It’s unfamiliar territory. There are no guarantees. Thus, most people settle back into their comfort zone, deciding life is just going to be like it always has been.

Seth Godin, in his new book “What To Do When It’s Your Turn” writes:

There are three problems with freedom. Things don’t always turn out precisely the way we hope; resolution takes too long; and we might fail. And so, when it’s our turn, we take a pass. It’s far more reliable to stay where we are than it is to leap, to jump to a new place different from the one we’re in.

Everything you do in life has a risk or a reward.

Deciding to have kids is a huge risk, wouldn’t you agree? You risk your health, you risk giving up your free time and sleeping in, you risk losing friends who don’t have children and therefore have nothing in common with you any longer.

And, there are no guarantees you’ll give birth to a perfectly healthy baby, no guarantees you’ll always know the right thing to do, no guarantees that your children will grow up to be well rounded, stable adults.

But the rewards of parenting far outweigh any of the risks. Ask any parent.

Deciding to build your own business to create your freedom is a risk. You risk failing at it several times; you risk money you need to invest in your business; you risk losing your stance among friends and family who now think you’re crazy for giving up such a good job to work from home.

You are not guaranteed success and you WILL have to work at this, you WILL have to learn and apply what you learn (unless you foolishly listen to the push-button-easy, get-rich-overnight hype that many use to attract you to their opportunity.)

You are not guaranteed success. But, I can guarantee you this … you’ll never know what you can do, until you start.
You’ll remain stuck where you are, depending on the good graces of a boss to keep you employed … until technology replaces you anyway.

And the reward of building your own business, of working from home?

The reward comes from making a decision for YOU.
Deciding that for once, you’re going to do something for yourself,
for your family … that no one can take away from you.

Not a boss. Not technology. No one. No thing. Nothing.

What will you do?

Will you see the writing on the wall?

Will you decide that it’s time to learn new skills so that you can create your own income?

Or will you decide to just let things happen as they may and deal with a job loss when it happens?

Amazon Go is just the beginning turn towards job losses due to automation.

A report from the World Economic Forum states:

Across the countries covered by the Report, current trends could lead to a net employment impact of more than 5.1 million jobs lost to disruptive labour market changes over the period 2015–2020, with a total loss of 7.1 million jobs—two thirds of which are concentrated in routine white collar office functions, such as Office and Administrative roles.

What will you do to protect your future? What will you do to create your freedom?

The jobs of the future will require new skills in Computer and Mathematical and Architecture and Engineering related fields, as reported by the World Economic Forum.

That’s great if you’re young, still in high school or your early twenties. There’s a wide world of opportunity available to those who have not spent their entire lives working for a company that could at anytime automate and eliminate most of its work force.

But, if you’re not young, if you’ve been working for years and years, hoping to make it to retirement with a substantial savings or retirement fund to finally enjoy life, it’s a whole different scenario. Rather than trying to be re-educated (at a great expense and time factor,) you can decide to take control of things and start on the path to your freedom, your future.

You’re going to need to re-educate yourself no matter what. Instead of spending thousands going back to college to get a degree that will prepare you for this new age of technology, why not use technology available now to get the education you need to start your own business.

Yes, I said start your own business.

Is it scary to do this?

Yes, because as I already said, no one can guarantee your success.

Is it wise to do this?

Oh hell yes! For so many reasons, but most of all because it puts you in control
instead of keeping you under the thumb of the higher ups
who make decisions based on numbers, not people.

Is it something anyone or any age can do?

Absolutely! When you have the right tools, you can get started
from where you are right now, learning the skills
that will build your business, build your presence online
and create your own economy, free from any worries of a pink slip

The Naked Hippies have always been about creating freedom, for ourselves and for others. We teach and share what we do to fund our freedom, knowing with full confidence that anyone who thirsts for their freedom will be able to follow the steps and the training to get going and get growing their business NOW.

We don’t wait for technology to catch us unaware, we use technology to live on the road, in our camper, fulltime.

The training we have available will train anyone, whether a newbie to this industry, or a seasoned veteran …
it will take you step by step, all without having to figure anything out or doing anything crazy, complicated or technical.

So now, it’s time for you to decide.

Either stay where you are, working the 9-5, worrying about that damn pink slip, or jump on board with the Naked Hippies to start on your roadtrip to freedom.

Your choice. Your decision.

Lingering in a Soaking Bathtub Can Kill You

On May 25, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Personal Growth, Social Media Marketing, Work From Anywhere2 Comments

Who doesn’t love lingering in a soaking bathtub?

It feels so damn good … it relaxes you and relieves stress. You have escaped from the frenzy and you love the feeling.

Did you realize that lingering in that soaking bathtub can kill you?

Forget coming back for the soaking bathtub for a while. It will be there when you need it, but right now – you need to be doing the work, talking to people, making connections, closing the sales.

Building your business requires your participation as the CEO … full out … get it going action.

It’s not easy, it’s worth it.

You’re going to get dirty, you’re going to fall down and scrape your hands and knees, you’re going to sweat like crazy …

Not easy, but oh so worth it.

So worth it to fight for your freedom … fight the daily battles of procrastination, fear, doubt, worry.

So worth it to try something that stretches you.

So worth it to learn from something that didn’t work.

So worth it to see what you’re really made of.

You business won’t grow on its own. That comes later after you’ve been to the battlefront, trained and fought for the victory.

soaking-bathtub-naked-hippies-roadtrip — Dirty-up time!

Don’t come back to the bath until you are covered head to toe in mud … drenched in sweat … smelling like a pig … hands and knees scraped from crawling when you were knocked down …

because that’s who never dies in the bath … the ones who get up and get out there … they don’t need a pat on the back to keep them going … the ones who aren’t afraid of lunging at life … the ones who dare to say “watch me” when someone says they are foolish, crazy, dumb … the ones who leap up when someone pulls the plug on them …

the ones who don’t have time to bathe because there’s money to be made … people to talk to … lives to change.

Get out of the soaking bathtub!

The Real Cost of Raising Minimum Wage

On May 21, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Quit Your Job, Work From Anywhere7 Comments

What is the real cost of raising minimum wage?

It seems like the right thing to do – raising minimum wage to help those who are barely making enough to make ends meet.

But, someone has to pay the price … somewhere the increased costs for salaries have to be covered.

The Los Angeles city council just approved a measure to raise the minimum wage in LA to $15 per hour over the next five years, following the decisions of companies like Walmart and 29 states, plus the District of Columbia who have set their minimum wage above the federal mandate of $7.25 per hour.

From the perspective of a minimum wage earner, this is great news because their income from a 40 hour work week would increase from $290 to $600. That $310 would really help a household pay for groceries, utility bills, etc. and maybe even allow a real family vacation.

From the eyes of the guy making lattes at the local coffee shop, this is going to be a great boost for his personal economy.

Proponents argue that raising minimum wage will benefit the whole U.S. economy … but the figures do not support this claim: If 100% of this income (increased minimum wage) was spent on products and services, it would only equate to 1.25% of total U.S. GDP. [source]

Who will pay the price of raising minimum wage. Who bears the brunt of this? Who covers the cost?

Actually, we all will pay the price, including those whom raising the minimum wage is supposed to help.

We pay it in the form of increased prices at your fast food restaurants and grocery stores, Walmart, Lowes, Barnes and Noble, Target, movie theaters, Disneyland, and well, anywhere minimum wage earners are employed.

We pay it in the form of layoffs and downsizing.

We pay it in the form of reduced hours and reduced benefits.

Of course, this is not what you hear from the proponents of raising minimum wage. You will only hear that the poor deserve to be paid more so they can improve their standard of living.

Once people stop to think about it, they begin to realize where the money for a minimum wage increase will come from: mostly from workers and customers. [source]

So, what’s the solution? How do we help those who are struggling, the moms and dads who are working two or three jobs to feed their families?

We do it by returning to the roots this country was founded on … where everyone had the opportunity to rise, to explore, to discover, to create, to invent, to succeed.

Forbes’ contributing author Mike Patton writes this:

“A minimum wage job, after all, should never be the end game. Rather it should be a beginning step in the career path for those inclined to improve their circumstances. Unfortunately, we have a country filled with individuals who are satisfied with a welfare check, but who are fully capable of working and becoming a productive member of society. If government really wants to help our economy, it’ll focus on getting people off of entitlements and back to work.” [source]

As long as we are dependent on anyone or anything outside of ourselves to provide for our basic needs, we are nothing more than caged animals in a zoo where we wait for the next feeding, spending the day hanging out with all the other caged animals thinking “this is all there is to life.”

Every person has the potential to rise above their circumstances and change the direction of their life.

Every single person, no matter where they have come from, where they are right now. The opportunities for learning and gaining skills are available.

Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the internet marketing industry or online marketing.

Anyone who desires to change their financial struggle can access endless opportunities to begin as an online marketer. No college degree is required, no job uniform necessary … just the willingness to learn, the determination to take action, and the belief that you are worth so much more than what a boss or the government says you are.

I have met many online marketers who dragged themselves out of the pits of hell to rise to a level of income that surpasses the income of many CEOs.

Is it easy to do this? Hell, no! It takes work, it takes focus, it takes determination. But they did it – starting from ground zero and building their own economy, step by step.

But, it sure beats living like a caged lion waiting for someone to toss the next meal to him.

It’s when ordinary people rise above the expectations and seize the opportunity that milestones truly are reached. –Mike Huckabee

America still is the land of opportunity. Heros arise every single day. Success is achieved, wealth is created, families are pulled from the pits of poverty to a lifestyle of freedom through the wonder and capability of internet marketing.

Raising minimum wage does not cure the problem, it only increases the mindset of entitlement.

It’s time to rise up and claim your entitlement to build your own economy and provide for your family, as our ancestors did.

What’s your take on raising minimum wage?

What Is It You Plan to Do With Your One Wild and Precious Life?

On April 2, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Coaching, Personal Growth, Quit Your JobLeave a comment

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?
― Mary Oliver

If you asked me that at age 8, my answer was, “to be Miss America!”

What about you? What did you used to imagine and dream of being?

Do you remember how it was when you were eight years old and you had the belief that you could be, do and have anything you wanted?

What happened … to our imagination, to our invincible, daring beliefs?

You got suckered in, that’s what happened.

Suckered in by other peoples’ beliefs, indoctrinations, manipulations, ideas and control.

Once you entered school you were bombarded with the message to go to college because that was the only way you would ever get a decent job.

And then reality hit. It’s hitting even harder now to the younger generation.

The reality that a piece of paper that cost you thousands of dollars (which you will pay for the rest of your life) is not a guarantee that you will be paid what you are worth.

In fact, you may be a college graduate working at McDonalds because that’s the only job you can get right now.

If you are of my generation, the Baby Boomers, you may have secured that fantastic job and worked your way up for two or three decades when reality hit. When you got the pink slip because the company was downsizing.

Sometimes, we think about what we would have done differently – if we knew then what we know now.

I’m pretty sure there are many who would have skipped the college loans.

elephant — It’s a HUGE elephant in the room!

So now what? The elephant in the room is HUGE. Call it the matrix, call it corporate, call it the way of the sheeple … whatever you call it, it’s enormous.

It’s so gigantic that there’s hardly any room to move. You have to watch your back all the time because one move and you could be squashed. To survive being in this room with the monster elephant, you have to learn to move with the crowd, follow the pattern, stay in line.

There will be times you feel like you can’t breathe. Some days, others will push you out of the way so they can get to a better spot in the room.

You’ve got two choices now.

1. You can stay in the room with the elephant and learn to cope with the cramped and stifling space you are in, OR

2. You can find a way out.

There is a better way to live your one wild and precious life.

It’s to live it on your own terms, by your own design, where everything that you do adds increase. Increase into your own life and also into the lives of others.

It’s becoming a network marketer, being your own boss, working online to create your freedom.

In this video, Eric Worre gives compelling reasons why Network Marketing is the better way:

I got away from the elephant two years ago. It wasn’t because the job was an awful job or that my boss was horrendous. It was because the call to be and do and have more was never silent.

I had a choice … survive or THRIVE.

Has it been easy? Not at all. There have been times I hit a wall and felt like nothing was going to work.

There have been times of extreme success and also times of falling back down. Times of drought and times of bounty.

There have been leaders who misguided and companies who closed their doors.

Has it been worth it?

Oh, hell yes! Every single bit of it.

All the experiences were stepping stones to more. More growth, more confidence, more lessons.

That little eight year old who wanted to be Miss America is now more alive and more fulfilled than ever before.

If there is a spark of desire in your heart to break free from that dang ol’ elephant … just do it.

What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

I’ll keep asking you that question … until you find your answer.

With all the opportunities available, you will find one that resonates with you. You’ll find someone to work with who shares your vision, who believes in you, who walks beside you on this powerful journey.

Maybe that will be me. Maybe not. Doesn’t matter who it is who helps you. All that matters is that you get started now.

what-will-you-do-with-your-one-wild-precious-life — Freedom feels like riding a wave, dancing in clouds. It feels like floating on air and walking on water.

Get out of that room. Breathe in the fresh air of freedom. Take control of your life.

I believe in you. Others do, too.

what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Excuses are the #1 Dream Hack

On March 12, 2015June 6, 2016 By Trisha BarnesIn Coaching, Quit Your Job, Work From AnywhereLeave a comment

Excuses are the #1 dream hack…not time or money or anything else you think.

But, they sound so legitimate don’t they, especially when YOU say them.

“I don’t have enough money” to get started in this business opportunity that will help me change my circumstances and break free from this financial struggle.

“I don’t have enough time” to work on this business.

Here’s the plain and simple truth … it’s not the time and money that is missing here. It’s lack of desire.

Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything. -Napoleon Hill

As long as you keep making excuses, you fall into the trap of the #1 dream hack.

And really, no amount of trying to convince you will change your perception.

He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else. – Benjamin Franklin

If you have been in the habit of making excuses instead of finding solutions, here is a simple way to change your thought process.

Instead of making excuses, do this instead. Ask “how can I?”

How can I find the money to invest in this opportunity?

How can I find the time to work on this business?

How can I learn the skills that I don’t know yet?

How can I find people to talk to about this opportunity?

It’s a simple question that provides amazing answers, once you open your awareness to the people, tools and resources that will become available to you.

The solutions that you seek are already available.

The people that will help you are waiting.

Excuses are the #1 dream hack and it’s up to you to deleted them from your thinking.

As long as you keep making excuses, you will stay stuck right where you are in life.

Excuses are monuments of nothingness. They build bridges to nowhere. Those who use these tools of incompetence, seldom become anything but nothing at all. Author unknown

When Bruce and I first started building our online business, The Naked Hippies Roadtrip …

We could have talked ourselves right out of the dream we are now living. I mean, good grief – we were not young’uns anymore.

We could have allowed the excuses to become the #1 dream hack and continued on living the “normal” kind of life.

Instead, we asked “how can we?”

We knew enough about the internet to get around, but nothing about marketing, nothing about SEO, and auto responders and capture pages and video marketing.

I was still working at the 8-5 so I had to make time before and after work to “work” on our business.

We found ways to invest in opportunities that provided training and support. (sometimes, it mean giving up date nights, or eating
peanut butter and crackers for a while.)

We surrounded ourselves with others who were doing what we were doing so help and inspiration and motivation were available 24/7.

We began to earn as we learned.

We learned that as long as we kept seeking solutions and people to help us grow, we were moving closer to our dream.

Our dream became real on November 14, 2013 when we pulled up stakes and took off to live on the never-ending roadtrip in our pickup camper.

Who were we to dare to go after our dreams?

We were just like anybody else who finally says, enough is enough… let’s just DO IT!

If we can do this, you definitely can, too.

From this moment on, no more excuses.

It’s YOUR time.

What’s your dream?
