Our Tuesday Weekly 7:30am Round Table Meeting

Article: Abu Dhabi Explores Energy Alternatives was discussed in this morning.

"On the outskirts of t his Persian Gulf Boomtown, past an oil refinery and a water desalination plant, the foundations are being poured for an ambitious project that will house a research fcility and perhaps even a power plant, all intended to take this oil-producting giant into the next energy wave. Oil, However, will have nothing to do with it. The sun, the wind and hydrogen will. United Arab Emirates, the fourth larges OPEC oil producer with about 10 percent of the known reserves is seeking to become a center for the development and implementation of clean energy technology. United Arab Emirates has been singled out as one of the worlds' highest per capita emitters of carbon monoxide and other greenhouse gases. UAE maintain a luxurious life of air-conditioning, chilled swimming pools and even an indoor ski slope in the emirate of Dubai, a neighbor of Abu Dhabi UAE say the Masdar project is on way to reduce demand for fossile fuels internally. UAE is only the most serious among Persian Gulf oil-producing countries whose thirst for electrical power has spawned efforts to find other sources of energy to save high value fossil fuels for export. Gulf states get their water from desalinating gulf waters, an energy-intensive process. Saudi Arabia and other gulf states began a research program looking into nuclear power. Iran which has faced off with the US and other international powers, insists that its nuclearn program is intended to serve mounting engery demands domestically.....................................

War is costing us tons of money and already busy with Iraq etc. Too bad we can't use the money on getting involve with Energy Alternatives. Why aren't we as US done this any sooner!!!! We see the growth of renewable energy as an opportunity, not as a problem.

Your feedback on this?

An Article from Jayne Johnson - The Subconscious: Friend or Foe?

The subconscious performs many helpful tasks so you don't have to make a conscious effort to think in order to accomplish them. Have you ever been driving down the road and suddenly realized you have gone two miles without paying attention to the road, your driving or to anything on the planet at all? Your subconscious, in control of your actions at the time, got you safely down the road.

Consider the possibility that the subconscious also has a built in video camera and the ability to tape your life. When there is any hint of trouble or danger, the subconscious set off alarms, must faster than you can think. You step off the curb not looking, while a Mac truck is barreling down the road in your direction. The subconscious will see it, even if you don't consciously see it, and the alarms go off. Just in time you look up and jump out of the way. This security system can literally save your life.

It can be friend or foe. Let's say that you once had a very troubled relationship with a person who wore a particular brand of cologne. Your subconscious will dutifully make a note of that will also conclude quite logically by its calculations that all people who use that cologne cause trouble. That seems to be how the subconscious works. One person who wears that cologne and causes trouble is unequivocal evidence that all people who wear that cologne causes trouble. That is an example of the logic of the subconscious, and just imagine what happens every time you are around another person who wears that cologne!

A key to being successful and powerful is recognizing when the subconscious has jumped in and started talking to you. The subconscious is powerful. Powerful and mechanical. In addition to being a video camera of sorts, it also has the properties of a computer, another mechanical device. Like a computer, whatever is programmed into it stays there and operates in strict accordance with the program. The good news it you can change the program.

Playing the Lottery

We studied several articles in the Tuesday 7:30am Round Table Meeting with Robert, Kim, and Sharon which I was not in attendance due to being sick. The articles were all from the New York Times:

1. Why Libby's Pardon is a Slam Duck - http://select.nytimes.com/gst/tsc.html?URI=http://select.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/opinion/11rich.html&OQ=_rQ3D1Q26hp&OP=174eb4fdQ2FbQ7BenbQ22cQ25mmQ22b4110b1VbQ2FQ2FbmduxumxbQ2FQ2FQ25uQ3AQ7DQ23Q7DQ22Q60N

2. Lotto Makes Sense, Even for Losers - http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/weekinreview/11carey.html?_r=5&em&ex=1173675600&en=2370d25e153825aa&ei=5087%250A&oref=slogin&oref=sl&oref=login

3. Crisis Looms in Market for Mortgages - http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/11/business/11mortgage.html

I determined it is that from the top down and from the bottom up, people are just lying. Either to others or to themselves. In the Libby articles from the presence of WMS to the war in Iraq itself, there was and is a whole lot of lying going on there. I supect we will probably never know the full extent of the deception.

The Mortgage article, artifically inflated values to stated income loans also know as liars loans, this issue is the prime position to unravel fast.

As for the lotto article - it is clearly obvious that the person that plays the lotto regularly is lying to him or her self. The odds are astronomical and yet people are willing to stand in line at the local convenience store to buy their tickets. Households with regular players spends an average of about 2% of their income on the game studies find. The less money you have the more you play. Again, the lie we tell ourselves is that we actually have a shot. Are the mutual fund companies lying to you and why is it worse than the lottery? No capital investment and no risk, the mutual fund company reaps 80% of the return. Not a bad position for the mutual fund company. The reasons why the lottery would be better bet for most people is that there is a greater upside if you win. If you are investing the same amount in either place, your downside risk is the same is that you could end up with nothing. At least with the lottery you have the potential for a very large upside. You know what, I play whether I have no money or money. I don't play very often and it is not a must for me to play. I didn't use to play in the past because I was afraid to win the lotto thinking I couldn't handle the money!! Now I could or am I just kidding myself???????????????????????

FINALLY CAN LOG INTO MY BLOG

After I contacted my IT person and found how stupid I was in not being able to log in! I should Step Away From The Computer!!!!!

Good Morning

Sorry I have not been on for a few days. I have been sick for over a week and am now starting to feel better. I will be back on later to post a topic. Thank you for your patience!

Quote for the day - 3/8/07

Rich Dad's Taping 2/15/07 and 2/23/07 at our Scottsdale location in AZ

Teach to be Rich was a product we developed in 2006. It contains three DVDs, a book and a workbook. The DVDs are an average of 1 hour and 15 minutes long. When we started to develop the franchise program, Teach to be Rich was going to be one of the products we would use in the teaching process at CASHFLOW club games. However, the feedback we received was that the DVDs were too long. Who would be willing to give up over an hour to watch a DVD, plus 3-4 hours to play the game itself? That would not work.

So, Robert's idea was to create a new set of 10 DVDs, each 12-15 minutes in length, that could be used by the CASHFLOW clubs. At each game meeting, the club organizer can play the DVD lesson for the night, then allow the club members to play the game. Each of the 10 DVD lessons will be on a different subject. That way the club members can build their knowledge of investing as they move through the process. Without accepting and acting on the feedback, we could have lost many club members that were not willing to give up that much time.

The second day of filming for these new DVDs. I'll share the lessons as soon as I can get them. Here are some shots of the studio upstairs, as well as the overflow room downstairs. We had a full house!

Oops forgot..........................

We also discussed the mission.

Mission:

The mission is spiritual
The message is for your children and your children's children
Look into the future (per Bucky Fuller) sell the mission, and sell the future
Mission: Shifting to Ronald McDonald instead of Ray Kroc (Franchising)

Our Weekly 7:30am Round Table Meeting

This was a good meeting on writing copy! We reviewed copies that were written my RDE, RDC, and RDF. We looked for headlines, positioning statement, (which my position statements were good) and story. Robert said when you write copy you need to know how to get past the defense, get pass the natural barrier. You don't want to sound like Sales and/or Commericalizing. Sometimes the less said is the best copy like for example the fashion magazines, etc. Less said is more effective.

1. Must get past people's defenses
2. Establish credibility. Have a credible source
3. Have two counter-opposing ideas
4. The less said the more effective
5. Get in through the right brain - use pictures

Example when Robert wrote the RDPD book - What the Rich Teach their Kids about Money that the Middle Class and Poor Do Not - it makes people ask "Which one am I?"

Robert also discussed the 5 - Finger Rule:

Thumb - Start Strong
Index - One Point
Middle - Talk Straight
Ring - Tell a story
Pinkie - Finish with emotion

CARTOONS will go past the defenses.


I realized when I reviewed my copies that I was sounding more sales pitchy. Got to use something more effective like "The prospect of Selling something we really love." I know I am going to be spending this weekend working on re-editing my copies. I so feel grateful for working with the Rich Dad's Company and the education that I have received in the last 6 years is priceless!!

Our Rich Dad Weekly Roundtable Meeting

Good morning!

I had a great meeting yesterday with Robert. Our lesson for the meeting was how to write a catchy advertisement that will get the attention of your readers. Two of our staff member had an exercise to write one for their Rich Dad's Homeschooling Website which will go live next week. Then Robert gave his feedback on the two copies. Then Robert had gave each of us at the meeting an assignment to write one (contest) selling The Rich Dad's Education, Rich Dad's Franchising, and Rich Dad's Coaching. We are to create a catchy headline and tag line and a brief paragraph. I am pretty scare to do it as that is not my area of expertise. But it sure will be a great lesson! I will keep you posted when we have our training class tomorrow at Rich Dad's Friday 3/2/07 at lunch time!
