Afraid your retirement nest egg won’t last long? - Post 417

You’re not alone.

We once thought of retirement as a time to relax, play golf and maybe travel — to finally have a little fun. For some, that will still be the case.

For the vast majority of others, the thought of retirement brings anxiety. They’re worried that they’ll run out of money.

In a recent survey by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, 44% of workers of all ages cited having insufficient finances as their biggest fear.

And a quarter of middle-class Americans, according to a Wells Fargo Middle Class Retirement survey, said they “get depressed” thinking about their finances during retirement. Forty-eight percent of those who have not retired were not confident that they will have saved enough to live “the lifestyle they want” in retirement.

I don’t know that there is anyone who doesn’t have that fear. That is people’s biggest anxiety. That fear comes mostly from people realizing that they are not adding enough to their savings but will soon have to withdraw. The anxiety is that they will have to have this last themselves for the rest of their life. It is the overwhelming fear among baby boomers.

Sometimes, the uncertainties of how long someone is going to live can be overwhelming. Adding to that the thought of health-care costs, can create a sense of hopelessness.

‘Will I have enough money?’

The best way to feel better about retirement is to develop a plan.  Do not be a bystander to your own retirement future. Your chances of not running out of money greatly increases if you develop a monthly, residual income that comes in month in, month out.

The estate of Michael Jackson brought in 145 million in 2012. Elvis Presley was second on the list with $55 million, while Bob Marley took third with $17 million.

I'm not saying you or I will have that type of income but it illustrates what a residual income can do. An income that comes in regardless of whether you work that month or not.

Did you know that if you had a monthly residual income of just $5,000 per month coming in that is the equivalent to an extra $1,000,000 in your retirement fund?

Would an extra $5,000 per month on top of what you already have in your retirement savings give you more peace of mind?

Did you know that if you are very serious and follow an established plan of action, it is much easier to create a $5,000 per month residual income than it is to save another $1,000,000 before you retire?

Folks, I don't have that many more years until I hit that golden age, worse yet, after two years of unemployment I am way behind on my nest egg goals. When I was introduced to this concept by someone that I highly respect. Someone that has been very successful financially in their lifetime, to the tune of multiple seven figure income, I was stunned. In fact that set me on a 4 year search for the best vehicle and best system to reach that goal. Once I found the right vehicle I spent another
year learning, seeking out and learning from the best in the industry and now I would like to share with you what I learned.

For more information visit my website, http://AIMHighForSuccess.com. There you will find a 20 minute video where I introduce this concept. Then I will introduce you to a very successful couple that I know that will give you the details. Once they complete their presentation you will have the opportunity to reach out to me so I can speak with you one on one more about how I can help you reach your financial goals.

Reaching Your Highest Potential - Post 412

We started the other day talking about the law of attraction. Today I want to continue with that theme and talk a little bit about reaching your highest potential.

We all have these grand dreams of what we want our lives to be. We know that we can achieve whatever it is that we want. So why is it that most of us will never achieve our highest potential?

It’s because we allow the doubts, the fears, and the discouraging things people have said to us convince us to settle where we are. Those negative voices inside us speak to us the loudest.

The truth is that we were all created to succeed. We were all created to achieve greatness; to accomplish our goals; to leave a mark on this generation. The key is to set that greatness free; to overcome all the negative thoughts and become all that we can be.

No matter where you are or what challenges you are facing you have what it takes to win. You are talented enough. You are smart enough. You are experienced enough. You have the right personality, the right looks, the right race, sex or nationality. You are fully equipped to become all you can. You are the right man or woman for the challenge.

You may not be reaching your highest potential, not because you don't have the faith, the talent, or the determination but because you are not keeping the right things in front of you.

Let me tell you a story about a guy that dreamed of being an actor someday. As he was growing up his family was so poor that at one point they were homeless. As he got older he kept on auditioning and trying out for different parts but he just wasn't getting any offers. He wasn't getting the big parts he wanted. He was broke and discouraged so he drove his beat up old car to the top of a hill overlooking the city and did something unusual. He wrote himself a big check for 10 million dollars for "Acting Services Rendered". He put that check in his wallet and kept it there. When things would get tough he would pull that check out and look at it to remind himself of his dream. A dozen years later he finally had the breakthrough that he dreamt about. You know him today because of wild success. That actor was Jim Carey.

The point is that we tend to gravitate toward that which we think about most. Think about this. No matter what social - economic background you come from you can find examples of people that have succeeded. You can find people from the worst backgrounds, the worst situations growing up that not only succeeded but had wild success. I can think of people like Les Brown, Opra Winfrey, Dr Ben Carson. And you can find people that had it all, that were born with a silver spoon in their mouth and went on to become absolute failures. I won’t name those but we can all think of people that descend to failure like that.

Ever ponder what the difference was between those failures and success?

Studies tell us that we move toward what we consistently see. So to reach the highest potential for success we must keep something in front of us, even if it symbolic like Jim Carey's check, to remind us of what we believe we can achieve.

When we don't have anything that reminds us of what we are dreaming of, we get stuck and lose our passion. Proverbs says "Where there is no vision, the people parish," The naysayers come along on and nick away at our dream, our enthusiasm until one day we find ourselves stuck in a rut. We've forgotten what it was that we wanted and start shrinking our dreams down to fit in with our current circumstances. The successful people always have that dream, that goal in front of them so they can push the naysayers aside and push forward toward their goals.

James Allen said "Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be. James Mark Baldwin said, "Fires can't be made with embers, not can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks."

I want you to think about what it is that you can put in front of you to keep you on track. What you can do throughout that day to remind yourselves of your destination. Keep your vision in front of you. All over your house, your office, your car, you should have pictures that inspire you. Scripture verses that encourage you. Mementoes that strengthen your faith. Every time you see that reminder of your dream say under your breath, Thank you Lord for bringing my dreams to pass. Thank you that I will become everything that you created me to be. Every time something comes along and try’s to chip away at your enthusiasm look at that reminder and tell yourself that you will achieve whatever it is that you set out to achieve.

Catch Up Time - Post 410

I can't believe I haven't posted a blog since April. Things have been busy but I can't believe it has been that busy. I know that in April and May I was busy with some very intensive training programs and then in June I spent a lot of time traveling to both coasts. A combination of Business and pleasure. I've got so much to share with you so I will try to do much better keeping up with these blogs.

As I was driving from Monterrey California to Reno Nevada a couple weeks ago I kept thinking about the law of attraction and the role this universal law has played in my life. As I have shared with you guys before, I am a Christian so for me the law of attraction is biblically based. I believe that God is the universal force. I'm not going to get into a theological discussion here so you can put your defenses down. I just wanted to give you a brief background about my prospective.

I went to California for two reasons. I wanted to spend some time with my son who is stationed there in the Navy. We haven’t been able to see each other since he graduated boot camp last winter. I also was hoping to have a chance to spend a day or two with Cory Gold. 

Before I left for the trip some things happened to prevent Cory and me from getting together but, while I was disappointed, it didn't stop me from going. I really wasn't sure what was going to happen on the business side of the trip but I was trusting that things would work out and make that part of the trip worthwhile. I knew that the right circumstances and the right people would show up so I was excited about the trip. 

A few years ago I had been a guest on KSCO radio out of Santa Cruz. Since Santa Cruz is close to where my son is stationed I decided to stop by the station on Saturday to meet the owner in person for the first time. I ended up spending 2 hours with him talking about the radio business and talking about the home business I am in and how to take things to the next level. 

Just to show you how this law of attraction works; while I was there I met Pharmacist Ben Fuchs. He is another radio personality that has a daily show on stations all across the country. He actually lives in Colorado and was there for a seminar that he was speaking at later in the day. Well Ben invited me to come to the seminar so I did just that. 

Well while I was at the seminar I met several other folks that I had talked to on occasion but never met. I found out that they were fans of my blog and had attended many of my webinars. These folks were excited to finally get to meet me in person. It was a really humbling experience. 

I also met Phyllis and Andy Anderson at this event. Up to that point I had never heard of them but it turned out that they were multi-million dollar earners in this business and they invited me and my son out to dinner after the seminar. We ended up talking for hours about exactly what it was that they did to earn their income, giving me some incredible advice on how to take my business to that next level. A lot of information that I am implementing in my own business as we speak. 

They also really stressed the role that the law of attraction played in their lives. 

I wanted to share with you folks some of the things that I have learned from the Andersons and from other people regarding the Law of Attraction and how to put it to work for yourself.

To get a better understanding of the Law I suggest that you start out going to YouTube and searching for a video called "The Secret" be sure to look for the complete movie. Now I warn the more devout Christians among you that the video is a little, actually a lot on the new age side of things but if you really think about it you can find a lot of biblical parallels. In fact I've done a blog post about it in the past. Just visit AIMHighWithKeith.com and check out the archives.

Go watch that movie then stay tuned for my next post where I will talk about this and other things that I have learned in the last few months in much more detail.
