The Recession- Is Senator Graham an Idiot?

Senator Graham just put his rich foot in his mouth by telling the American public that they are just a bunch of whiners. Is he right? Here is my take on it. Let me give you this piece by telling you a story.

Back about 8 years ago things were not going very well for me. I was really struggling in my mortgage business, was over my head in about 48,000 dollars worth of credit card debt and the future looked pretty bad. Oh– and I had borrowed about 350,000 from a close relative to open my own mortgage company the year before and had no real way of paying it back.. at least that’s what I thought.

My wife and I had spoken with a bankruptcy attorney and looking back I can honestly say this was my lowest point financially and emotionally. BTW– as an aside — You really need a great spouse when things get like this.. It is the real test of a marriage and thank goodness I picked a great spouse.

SHE SAID WE NEEDED TO JUST CUT BACK..

That’s a natural reaction right? Cut back. Stop spending ! But there was a problem with that. My mother still needed to be in a nursing home at 4000 a month. My son and daughter still needed to go to school. We still needed to eat and wear clothes and have a roof over our heads.

Most Americans are now “cutting back.” Maybe you are too. But what I discovered was that cutting back was NOT the answer.

CUTTING BACK IS NOT THE ANSWER !!!!

I took a full day and just tried to digest what was happening in my life. You know those deep meditations. I could fill pages here with all the CRAP that was running thru my head. But in the end I came to a conclusion that was very simple and yet very profound. So intense that it has changed my life and my finances forever.

WHAT I DISCOVERED IS ..

Now pay attention— It all comes down to figuring out ways to make more instead of focusing on cutting back and having less. This is what Dan kennedy refers to as poverty thinking.  Your mind can either focus on having less and dealing with it or it can be focused on getting and making more money! Your mind will simply do what you tell it to.

SO STOP WHINING — JUST LIKE SENATOR GRAHAM PROPOSED.

Of course what he said is politically incorrect but I think he is 100 % correct. He just didn’t say it correctly. There is still a TON of money to be made in this economy. Some will cutback and some will use this time to make even more money than before.
Once I embraced this idea I went on to create several multi- million dollar companies , all very quickly. I strongly believe that was because I was just focused on MORE instead of LESS. ( I tell my story and how I did it at http://www.brian.in12months.com)

BOTTOM LINE: I know it all sounds so simplistic. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t correct. So start figuring out how to make more and you will never need to worry about whining and figuring out what to cut back on.
