Buying Happiness.

“Buying Happiness.”
- Daegan Smith
In the shower this morning, I started
thinking about that old saying …
“Money can’t buy happiness.”
And I wondered …
Why would anyone say or believe
something like that?
Now, I don’t think that money itself
produces eternal joy or anything like
that.
After all …
Look at any of the countless tales of
despair attached to winners of those
mega millions lotteries over the years.
Littered amongst them you’ll find
heightened levels of greed, gluttony,
powerful jealousy, and colors of the
rainbow of sin, and they ALL tend to
result in less than positive outcomes,
but …
I do believe that you unequivocally CAN
buy happiness.
Let me tell you why …
I can remember one time, as a awkward
and chunky kid sporting my fresh new
high top fade, walking to assembly about
two months into the scholastic year.
The walk itself was hilly and probably a
little shy of a half mile.
We held our Monday morning assemblies in
the school gym which was detached from
our main school, so we walked.
Rain, sleet or snow … we walked.
About half way through the walk where it
started to get really hilly I could hear
Rich, an eighth grader, behind me say
….
“Daegan, why are your legs so skinny,
but you have boobs like a girl?”
Having no answer to that question, I
felt it’s sting to my core. I simply put
my head down and continued up the hill.
I had little kiddy man boobs which I
carried with me until the age of … I
don’t know, let’s say 30.
As you can probably imagine I was always
self conscious about taking my shirt
off.
Having boobs and being a boy ain’t all
it’s cracked up to be.
Now, by the age of about 25 I weight
about 235 pounds, had a body fat
percentage of about 7%, and could bench
press 430 pounds for 3 sets of six, and
guess what?
I still had those pesky boobs.
So god knows I tried to get rid of those
bad boys through discipline and sweat,
thats why …
When I see all those eBooks claiming
they “cure” man boobs I get pissed.
It’s horse shit.
Gynecomastia is a medical condition that
can only be solved by one thing.
Surgery.
Last year I bought myself a present.
You guessed it …
A boob job.
And I can tell you flat out, it was THE
best $8,000 I’ve ever spent.
I am happier.
Example #2:
I don’t know ….
Call me crazy, but I love buying my
Grandma stuff.
This Christmas I bought her a brand new
big ass LED TV for her and my
Grandfather to enjoy.
It was delivered a few days ago, and
just imagining them sitting there
enjoying their new TV puts a big’ol
smile on my face.
Buying stuff for people I care about
makes me happy.
Now, here’s one more reason why I think
you CAN and in fact SHOULD buy
happiness.
Yesterday, I shared the story with you
about how I got started online.
Well …
What I didn’t tell you, is that as soon
as I got home from that Holiday Inn,
like a crack fiend, I scoured the
internet for my second “fix” of how to
make money online.
I came across a book called “Google
Cash” written by a guy named Chris
Carpenter, and I can remember reading
the sales letter like 11 times.
Why?
Even though all the ideas about posting
links online and making $30,000 per
month were incredibly seductive. I mean
….
Heart racing.
Skin tingling.
“Ohh my gosh, I’m on the verge of
something HUGE ” seductive.
Every time …
I got to the part where it said “now
give me $67″ and I’ll give you this book
I couldn’t do it.
I don’t know why.
Thinking back, I was SO nieve back then.
I couldn’t get my head around spending
$67 on some eBook.
“The audacity of this guy Chris to ask
me for that kind of money.”
Somehow, I finally clinched my jaw,
pulled out the credit card and did the
deed.
And …
Just like with heroin, it’s NOT the
first hit that gets you, it’s the
second.
An internet addict was born.
Unlike a heroin addiction though …
This addiction is about the ONLY purely
positive addiction I can think of, but I
digress …
It get’s better.
So, I’m out there buying everything I
can get my hands on, making a dollar
here, and a dollar there, but by no
means in profit, and then …
I get invited my, now, best selling
author of the “Unemployed Millionaire”,
Matt Morris to go to my first marketing
seminar.
It was here in Washington DC.
It was a buddy ticket, but still …
It cost me $800 which I was teetering
back and fourth on whether or not it was
a smart of dumb use of my dough until I
got there.
Being there, changed my life for three
reasons which I’ll get to in a minute.
I remember I was SO nervous when I went
to go pick up Matt at the hotel that
first morning.
He flew in from Texas, and the least I
could do was give him a ride to the big
show being a townee and all, well …
We valet the car, and I immediately
start feeling shaky and cold.
So Nervous.
“Who am I? I’m not making money, this
Matt, he’s a millionaire and all these
people I’m seeing … Wow they’re the
gurus I see online, but who am I? I
don’t deserve to be here.”
Time passes.
We go out to dinner the first night, and
I can remember sitting there at dinner
with Tellman Knudson who had just
cracked his first $800,000 year (I
remember because ALL that he spoke
about.), and …
A few people down at the table, was my
now buddy and college wresting comrade
Russell Brunson (I guarantee he doesn’t
remember that dinner at the Capital
Grill, but I remember, I even remember
he got a steak sandwich or something
like that).
Although he hadn’t made 8 figures in a
year at that point, he was still A guy
who was all over the internet, one year
older than me, and making millions, and
there I am …
Because I bought an $800 ticket to an
event eating dinner with them.
So exciting.
Here’s what that did to me, and you’ll
find the same thing happen to you the
first event you go to …
It made the idea of success real.
These people I saw online all over the
place were now very real.
Not better than me, just slightly ahead
of the curve on me.
If not for that event and these
experiences at that event, my belief
that I could do it myself would never
have developed.
(BTW – shoot me a FB message and I’ll
let you know what events I’m headed to
first quarter this year if you’re
curious)
Now, by the second day I’m having the
time of my life.
Every single presenter was dropping
marketing knowledge atomic bombs.
I’m sitting in the front row with Matt
in the VIP section (because he’s a VIP)
and …
I couldn’t take notes fast enough.
I’m having the time of my life.
Then it happened.
A guy a little shorter than me from
Texas that spoke kinda funny gets up on
stage and starts talking.
My ears perk up like I dog trying to
hear something it can’t see.
To this day …
I still have the NOTES I took that day
from that presentation on my desk right
here beside me.
Of course, they’re old and some of the
pages are torn, but man ohh man are
those notes a gold mine.
This guy who calls himself “The King Of
Let’em Come to You!”
He starts his presentation off by
explaining that he’d been a direct
response marketer for many years, and
….
Just 19 months ago he started a brand
new information marketing business from
scratch with …
Literally no money invested, no
customers, no lists, no joint venture
partners, no merchant account, no
nothin, and in that time he developed
that simple idea into a million dollar
business.
I can remember vividly thinking to
myself …
“How awesome. What freedom he must feel
to command such a power. What leverage.
19 months to $1 Million per year. Wow.”
(Sidenote: I’ve since beaten that record
in taking Maximum Leverage from $0 to
$128,000 per month in just under 6
months)
Naturally, I paid very close attention
to everything he said, and it didn’t
hurt that he started saying things that
make a LOT of sense to me like …
“I’m in the business of getting and
keeping money.”
Then he shared that everything that he
did to create that level of success in
his business was preplanned before he
ever sent a single email.
Next, he laid out a timeline that showed
exactly where he started and brought us
up to current.
May 23rd, 2004 – First email sent
June 10th, 2004 – First check $700.36
June 28th, 2004 – Second check $2,421.19
February 2006 – $87,945.28 in sales
Then he went on to show us exactly how
he had created his …
“Highly profitable, extremely
predictable, completely stable,
ulitimate lifestyle business.”
I bet your wondering what he shared …
I’ll give you a hint:
It had everything to do with what I’m
doing right now with you.
He had me hook line and sinker.
That presentation flat out changed my
life.
I went home and immediately double my
business.
He offered a full day consultation at
the end of his presentation for $10,000.
I’m so glad I had the courage to say
yes.
That day at the La Quinta in Austin,
spending time with someone FAR superior
to me at what I wanted to and would
eventually master …
“The Fine Art of Money Getting.”
Cost me $10,000 but has made me
milliuns.
He got the cheap end of the stick (even
though I went back the next year and did
it again.)
Paying for education has bought me a new
and better life.
It’s bought me freedom.
Freedom has brought me happiness, now
….
You tell me a way to get your man boobs
removed without paying a surgeon to do
it.
I mean … You very well can’t cut
yourself open and rip those suckers out
yourself.
And tell me you don’t love buying gifts
for your grandma and I tell you you’re a
liar.
You tell me how the heck you’re gonna to
learn to make millions online without
paying for the privilege to be able to
dig into the brains and experience of
someone who’s already where you want to
go.
These are all things I’ve purchased
outright.
I bought them.
And, in the example of my education I’m
ALWAYS buying.
I have no ego about it.
Only excitement.
I love helping the economy by spending
my cash money on my education because I
learned a long time ago that …
There is no better deal on earth, and
….
For one more other reason that you’d
don’t see on the surface …
When you spend large sums of legal
tender to better yourself you’re self
affirming that you you’re worth it, and
you know what?
You are.
To the top,
Tracy Matthews
P.S. I’m not psychic, but I bet there’s
happiness at the end of the tunnel for
you too when you buy this:
P.P.S. I’m curious, what do you think?
Can you buy happiness.
Let’s talk about it:

“How did I get here?”

My mentor Daegan Smith, you know …
The guy that mentored all the experts
out there and runs “Maximum Leverage”
details here:
He send this to me, and it was just too
good. I had to share this story with
you.
“How did I get here?”
- Daegan Smith
As I sat in the last seat, careful not
to be seen by anyone I knew in the
Bethesda Maryland Holiday Inn I could
almost smell the desperation.
There I was.
One of about 400 people who had somehow
found their way to this “meeting.”
I as sat there I silently wondered if
they had all seen the same commercial
few days earlier that I had.
I had returned home from my job as a
traveling sales rep in the Washington DC
area after a 3 hour stent in the gym (it
was really all I had to look forward to
back then).
I could remember jumping in the shower
and feeling something I had never, in my
life, felt before.
I heart quickened.
My breath grew shallow.
I could feel my eyes going dark.
As I reached for the shower head to stop
myself from falling, there, at that
moment …
I felt true horror.
My mind wandered to my daily happenings
and I realized, for the first, that …
Every day of my adult life I had done
the exact same thing.
Wake up at 6:31am sharp.
Hit the snooze button on my alarm clock
exactly 11 times before actually rising
from bed at 7:50 or so in the morning.
Always so tired.
I stumble to shower like a zombie.
Clean up, put on my suit, and leave to
be paid commercial for some company.
Everyday this is what I did …
The fear came on sharp with this simple
question …
“If this is what life is like now, what’s
it going to be like 10 years from now?”
The horror took over with the answer.
“Nothing.”
That moment changed me forever.
I had “woken” up to the painful reality
that life was NOT going as I had planned
as young kid who once dreamed of owning
his own orange Lamborghini.
Now, as an adult, all I could see, if …
I stayed on the path that was set before
me was mediocrity.
Settling.
I couldn’t let that future come true,
but what do you do?
“How DO you get out of this “damn” job?”
“How DO you free myself?”
That night, after watching my favorite
movie “Apocalypse Now” on my couch with
a couple Serra Nevada’s I saw something
I’d never seen in something that I’d
seen many many times before.
There, in that commercial that promised
wealth through real estate, where I had
once only seen scam artist and
charlatans I saw, for the first time …
Hope.
The “hope” of an opportunity to change.
As I sat there, in the back of that
Holiday Inn conference room I teetered
on complete embarrassment and regret for
a few days earlier seeing opportunity in
a real estate infomercial.
Today …
I live a life that before that night in
the shower, before that Holiday Inn
conference, I could never have imagined.
From my little lap top computer I’ve
generate millions of dollars, literally
at the push of a button.
A reality where literally at any point
in time I choose to write a 5 minute
message and send it out to my list of
180,000 email subscribers from around
the world between $2,000 to $12,000, on
average, comes back within 24 hours.
This reality has allowed me travel to
places I never would have imagined.
Can you believe that back before my
embarrassing night at that Holiday Inn I
didn’t even have a passport?
Now I’ve been to exotic countries like
Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Nicaragua,
El Salvador, The Greek Isle, and just
last year I on a whim …
I moved to Maui, leased a house in
Wailea with an elevator and salt water
pool less than a 8 minute walk to the
MOST beautiful beaches in the world.
My daily reality was literally …
I would wake up in the morning 6am with
the sun, go to my Lanai, and there I
would sit for 30 to 45 minutes in
beautiful silence watching whales from
my back porch.
On a whim, from Washington DC to Maui
Hawaii.
Within a week, I made the decision and I
was there.
Forget about that little voice that asks
questions like …
“What about your homes here in
Washington DC?”
That voice? Silenced. Ignored.
I just left.
I took a year long extended vacation
without even a thought to “if” I could
afford it or if it made any sense.
I wanted to go so I simply went.
Imagine being able to make decision that
way.
Well you can …
You can make decisions like that anytime
you want when you can do this.
Create income in leverage on demand.
That IS the ultimate skill.
Knowing how to do that IS freedom.
Here’s what I mean …
Right before I sat down to write this to
you, I sent out an email, and when I got
up to get a glass of water I saw that I
had already made $1,750 while writing
this to you, and I wasn’t surprised.
That’s normal.
That’s how it always happens, so that’s
simply how it supposed to happen.
Now …
The normal person would never believe
this, but it’s my reality and can be
yours.
In fact, that reminds me, there’s a
funny story I’ll share with you in a
moment that you’ll really get a kick out
of, so …
Don’t forget to remind me about it, but
right now we’ve got a LOT of ground to
cover.
Sitting in that back row of the Holiday
Inn ultimately changed my life for one
reason.
More accurately not one reason.
One person.
But before I met that person I witnessed
one of the most important lessons I’ve
ever learned in my life …
There, right before my eyes, I saw just
how quickly anyone’s fortune can change.
Before I met the man that would
ultimately change my life and yours
another man shared his story from stage.
Hair slicked back, in his black suit,
with a smile on his face, he told the
audience to get out of their seats and
run to the back of the room to purchase
his real estate system and my jaw
dropped.
I counted.
Well over 100 people waited patiently to
hand this man their credit cards and
have him charge them $997 for his
course.
“You mean, one hour, and he just made 3
times more than I make in year?”
It would take me 10 years of perfect
corporate butt kissing to get an annual
salary even close to what this guy just
pulled down in hour right before my
eyes.
It was almost magic.
There, even before I met the man that
would change my life, I learned a lesson
that I want to share with you.
In fact, this might be the MOST
important lesson you CAN learn.
“He (or she) who sells well and has an
audience is already wealthy.”
Now that sounds simple and apparent, but
I didn’t “get” it until just recently in
the form of this question …
In fact, if you can find your own unique
way to answer this question and live by
that answer, it will change your financial
destiny forever.
I guarantee it.
The question …
“How can I fall in love with selling?”
Find the answer to that question and the
ultimate conclusion can be nothing but a
life of infinite freedom and
uncontrollable wealth, but …
I get ahead of myself.
The “pro” who just bested three years of
my income in an hour walks off stage and
although I’m amazed, his solution wasn’t
for me.
I “almost” felt like the evening was a
complete waste.
Then this little short fat bald man
steps on stage.
God bless that man. He doesn’t know it,
but he changed my life.
See, when HE stepped on stage here’s
what happened.
I remember …
My pupils dilated. My eyes widened. My
breath slowed. My ears could hear
nothing but his words as he shared …
That the internet was a place that
regular people were making a full time
living.
My very own personal mental revolution
had taken hold.
I was more than intrigued.
To that point, the ONLY thing the
internet was to me was a place to do
research and email friends.
When he started sharing images of these
simple little sites he had created, and
others like him had create, that were
making $1,000 per month passively I
simply couldn’t contain my excitement.
I remember I began to clinch my jaw.
I rocked back and forth in my chair.
I couldn’t stop my hands from
jittering.
My path.
I had found it …
I believe we only find a few great
obsessions in life and I “knew” this one
was mine.
God bless that short fat bald man.
If not for him my journey that lead me
to writing to you today would never have
begun.
I buy his thing (it’s a piece of crap,
but who cares) then I immediately go
home and start researching “how” people
are making passive and residual income
online.
Curiosity is of the MOST powerful forces
in the world.
My curiosity changed me from a timid kid
who couldn’t speak in front of an
audience to a person who just a few
weeks ago on a whim decided to see “if”
(and completely out of curiosity) I
decided to put on seminar would people
come?
Not only did they come, but with 3 weeks
notice 100 of them showed from all
corners of the world, each paying me a
measly $197 a piece to be there.
Two days, I stood before that audience.
Two days, I spoke and did things that
would have crippled me with fear just a
few short years ago, and I …
LOVED every moment of it.
When all was said and done, that weekend
created, let’s just say, at least six
figures.
Not bad for two days.
How ironic.
Just a few years ago I looked to the
people on stage at such seminars as
charlatans, and the audience as
desperate, now that I’ve played both
positions I see things completely
differently.
Seminars are places of great change.
They are places of personal
transformation.
If you LOVE something or you’re even just
slightly curious, then you owe it to
yourself to immerse yourself in that
subject, in an environment filled with
people just like you and as a result …
You will change for the better.
If there’s a lesson I can give you
before I share something that might
shock you, it’s simply this …
Go to more seminars.
Back to the story.
Realize …
We jumped from being at the back of a
room to being at the front of the room
and loving it.
“What happened in between?”
A lot happened.
I lot of growth. A lot of sacrifice. A
lot of risk. A lot of hope. A lot of
trust. A lot of mistakes. A lot of money
made. A lot of money spent. A lot of
money wasted. A lot of focus. A lot of
confusion, but mostly a lot of
curiosity.
“I wonder what it would feel like to be
financially free?”
That question guided me to my freedom,
so I ask you, what’s yours?
To the top,

Monthly Money Sites

The other day I got a product that really stood out to me…. matthews61.monthlyms.hop.clickbank.net
The product is called the Monthly Money Sites Online Training Course, and what really stood out to me, was it wasn’t a ME TOO product.

Meaning it’s not the same rehashed information that everyone else is pushing.

The product actually teaches something that is very important to every online business which is creating a recurring (also called residual) income.

With a recurring income, you work to get your income where you want it, and then work very little to keep it there.

You work less and still make the same amount of money.

With one off sales, you have to constantly work just as hard to keep getting them.

See how important that is?

Working less and still making money allows you to enjoy life and give you the freedom to do what you want!

The Monthly Money Sites Online Training Course includes…

* 6 step-by-step lessons what walk you through 6 different things you can do to start creating a recurring income.

* Lessons even come with video tutorials that show you how to do everything that is taught in the lessons

* Worksheets that help you create your income for each lesson

This course is taught be one of the best online income developing teachers in the world Liz Tomey….

Liz has almost a “super power” when it comes to teaching. She’s had more successful students come out of her online courses than just about anyone, and goes above and beyond to make sure that her students are success.

So not only are you going to get a course that teaches you how to work less while making money, but it’s backed by a teacher who truly cares about your success!

One of my favorite parts of this course is where Liz teaches you to setup streams of income that pay ALL your monthly bills. This was a real eye opener for me. Creating incomes to pay all my bills each month, makes the rest of the money my “play” money that I can do whatever I want with…

Absolutely amazing!

Now one thing I would like to see in this course is a monthly program where I can get more and more from Liz as far as creating additional streams of recurring income.

Six different lessons is incredible, but I wanted to keep learning and implementing. I contacted Liz about this, and she says she’s working on that right now.

Since Liz is so well known in the industry, she’s pulling in her big time “buddies” and making them give up their coveted information on how they create recurring incomes. She’ll be adding these resources to the site on a continual basis, and she even said she wasn’t going to charge extra for them!

How cool is that…  So grab this course now at matthews61.monthlyms.hop.clickbank.net, start learning, and watch as Liz ads more and more content to make sure you’re getting everything you need to know about creating recurring incomes that will give you that dream lifestyle you’ve searching for!

Super Affiliate Success Story

Posted on by
Reply

We all love to hear about people being successful, and I want you to take the time to read this story because you can learn a lot from it.

Internet marketing expert Liz Tomey is known as a “softy”. She has a real commitment to people, and when she found one of her close friends in need, she came to the rescue, and turned a total newbie into an “insane affiliate marketing machine”.

You see, Liz’s close friend Michele was going through a divorce, and losing her husband’s income. She knew that she couldn’t pay all the bills and in turn would have to sell her house, and uproot her little boy from his “little world”. All Michele really needed was a few extra grand a month to pay the bills and keep everything “normal” for her son.

Now to some of you that doesn’t seem like much, but to most of you, a few extra grand a month means a lot.

So, Liz took 5 days out of her schedule and showed Michele one of her very own affiliate marketing systems that had worked for her for years.

Now Michele had never heard of affiliate marketing before. She knew how to check email and surf the Internet, but had no idea that you could make money online.

Boy was Michele shocked to find that after 5 days of implementing what Liz taught her she was able to make over $500 and get 400 new subscribers that she could make money off of time and time again.

Michele wont be worrying about bills now as she continues to make money. She’ll even be quitting her job in just a few months!

With Liz’s teachings, Michele has an easy to obtain income goal of $500 a day, and now Liz wants to show you how to do the same thing…

trackyourlinks.com/gotolink.aspx?id=7853

Like Liz, I’m very proud of Michele, and hope that you will take advantage of Liz’s help, and start creating your own autopilot affiliate income today…

Grab the new course from Liz, and get started right now …. trackyourlinks.com/gotolink.aspx?id=7853
