Title: Rawpaleo fortunes
Post by: TylerDurden on March 15, 2011, 08:07:28 pm
OK, this is  a very, very intrusive poll I thought up, so feel free to just poll anonymously if you want to, without commenting down below. Just curious as Malibu-based primal dieters near Aajonus are, for example, usually very wealthy, from what I have heard.

Weak poll.

Anything lower than 100.000 means you're a wage slave aka someone's bitch.

People go out there a make a fortune for yourself. The money is out there you just have to take it.

It's never been more easy.

You should do a poll, how much are you worth? this is more accurate.

Post by: ys on March 15, 2011, 11:33:21 pm
someone selected 500,000+,

not sure how accurate that is.

if i had that kind of income i would have miles and miles of pristine forest with the cleanest wild animals to harvest.  i would still probably supplement some items from grass-fed farms but wild animals would be the staple.

do you guys agree or is it just mine fantasy?

  Not really. For example, in the UK, many people own homes worth a million pounds or thereabouts due to rising house prices, but most such people are just average middle-class types, not earning much.

I earn less than $20 000 per yr and my staple food is wild animals (hare, deer, boar, goose, duck, pheasant, fish). I ate some grass-fed beef today for the first time since jan.

Well you need 3 things: Intent, Entitlement and Detachment.

Write these three words down. They are the keys to the kingdom.

Intent. You've got to decide once and for all that you're going to get wealthy. No half measures you either gonna do it or not. There's power in such a decision.

Entitlement. Do you feel entitled to have lots of money? Does it make you feel uncomfortable if you were to make one million every year? How about $750.000 a month? Still feeling comfortable or did you feel something contract inside your chest? I got most of you right there, didn't I?

Detachment. You've got to be emotionally detached from money. It's just paper with ink on it. You can have more of it by doing certain things.

Money is transferred from one person to the other by means of value exchange. That's the secret. You provide something the other person is willing to give you money for. Look around you, can you notice a need or a problem that a pretty large group of people is having? If not start paying attention, people complain all the time. Then ask yourself how can I solve this problem for them? See where I am going with this. It's just common sense but you are not thinking this way because you lack either one or all three of the above.

I actually gave some tips months ago. How many have used it to improve their situation in life? Has any of you picked up a biography of some of the entrepreneurs I mentioned? Why not? Probably because getting wealthy is not what you really want. You'd rather stay in the fucking poorhouse. That's your choice, I don't really care. But don't come here and tell me it's hard out there. Like you fucking tried and gave it all you got.

You know what's hard? Doing something you don't like for 8 hours every day for the rest of your life. Now that's really really hard.

Only YOU are responsible for the results you're getting and your excuses are just that, excuses.

Absolutely you did, because many people instinctively understand that to make those kinds of money in our semi socialist states would require you to become a sociopath, habitual liar and a fraud to your fellow man. It is certainly possible, but at the core, most people arent willing to pay the ultimate price that wealth often comes attached to. A constant feeling of entitlement leads to absurd an intrusive ambition. Also -interestingly enough- it is a common feature in socio and psychopaths.

Go into any prison today and you are going to meet a lot of people who felt entitled, who are suffering from a bad case of 'unwarranted self importance'.

I don't doubt ActionHero's advice.

It's like all of us just won the health Lottery because we discovered raw paleo diet.

Imagine, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be able to help people cure supposedly medically incurable diseases like cancer, psoriasis, diabetes...

... so if we can learn about health, we can learn how to make big fortunes.

Vander doesn't make that much money.  You can see it in his lifestyle.  The farm is a contribution by a friend who believes in the healing that he does.  Most of Vander's patients are locals, usually from his church group.

Instead do what intelligent entrepreneurs do. Build your own business providing a service or product that people value.

That's how you get rich. Be on the lookout for opportunity. Then dive and don't look back.

Ignore the naysayers. Have compassion towards them, they have it hard.

  That would be foolish as, if you, for example, needed money to expand your business or get a loan to pay for education etc., and then defaulted on your loan, your house would be sold by the bank for much less than it would otherwise. if your house got wiped out by an earthquake or tsunami etc., you would be left with nothing and so on.

I don't share his vision in terms of "wage slaves" and the ignorant masses and "entitlement". However, some of the other things he says are salient & timely (one has to have intent, focus, goals, and intensity).

I am not rich, but I do well enough to make my house payment & feed my family....and a bit more. However, I personally set some creative AND financial goals for 2011 (including increasing my income by at least 50%) and posted them on-line. Money where my mouth is and all that. In 9 more months, we'll see where I succeed AND where I fail.

Post by: CitrusHigh on March 22, 2011, 01:21:53 am
In a universe that seems to be more pliable than conventional thought might have us believe, there is no harm in intent and visualization. Even if there is no universe 'conspiring on your behalf' (there probably really is though) then those intentions and visualizations at least help you to focus on the end goal.

I was listening to the audiobook 'infinite possibilities' by Mike Dooley which I think is very much like 'the secret' of which I have not read, and he said something that stood out to me. This is paraphrased because I don't have the actual book....

{Either money is good and you want more of it, or money is bad and you want to avoid it} If you're thinking money is the root of all evil then guess what, you're probably not going to be inclined to get more of it than you need to live. If you think money is good and you can do things you like with it then you will probably try to get more of it.

In that sense people do want to be rich or want to be poor. I agree that money is often connected with bad ideas, bad actions and bad people, but the reality is that most of us have, however tacitly, agreed to live in a 'civilized' fashion where we buy things instead of making or raising them ourselves. As such we must as well dive in head long, at least until the eventual collapse, when we revert to feral behavior. I have begun to do intentioned visualizations each day because you know what? It really can't harm anything right and frankly it is limiting to deny something that we don't really know is true or not, and is maybe unprovable.

Also what AH said about your self image is mega ultra important. You are to a great extent what you choose to be. Most of us walk around as packaged identities unconsciously agreeing to view others as their packaged identities as long as they agree to view us as what we think we are. So make yourself whatever you want to be.

The naysayers here are the people who claim flight, or space travel is impossible. The people like AH are the people who invented flight and space travel. Pick which one you'd like to be. Whatever else their faults, they at least made it happen!

I am sick and tired of these entitlement issues that pose as creative force. There is no disagreement that focus on what you want to achieve is everything, and working out strategies before you do anything is the only way to succeed.

Quote
The people like AH are the people who invented flight and space travel. Pick which one you'd like to be

The people who invented space flight were scientists who want to do space flight. The mindset of these people in no way compare to gangsters like Trump and likes which AH touts as masters of his trade. Rather, their mindset often prevent the better technology from prevailing to ensure their comfortable lifestyle at the expensive of the collective. A local example is that of wind energy. We can make insanely efficient small windmills that could easily power a farm and still provide excess. the most magnificent design was made by a farmer who now 15 years down the line are still fighting for the right to put it into production, but the rules and regulations keep changing because "the money" want to trade in large ineffective behemoth windmills because they have the potential to generate more income in the long term. It is the entitlement issues I am protesting against because if you are good at what you do, money will come around. If you are good at what you do and have a business plan/model, only genuinely bad luck, force majeure and the Donald trumps of the world can keep them away from you.

We are all here to share what we know.
We cannot assume nor judge what action hero does for a living.

We need a more welcoming attitude so people are encouraged to share what they know, whether it is health or wealth.

We're lucky we all now have health.  Having a lot of wealth with health is a pretty good combo.

Good point...however, I think actionhero (he did make several excellent points himself) invites certain harsh critiques when he uses inflammatory language like "wage slaves" and "You'd rather stay in the fucking poorhouse" and such when such attitudes were unprovoked....

...with the focus on "unprovoked". We're all adults here and we all can get on the edge from time to time, but we generally require some provocation to turn the sharp edge towards each other.

Brother also made an excellent point. Namely, the internet is full of folks posting anonymously who can make all manner of claims because others can't verify them. They can also speak in a manner they'd never use in face-time. Amazing how polite people get when face to face, even if they are rude on-line.

No but as SD pointed out. We can judge his choice of words, his attitude and the people he hold up high (show me your friends and I will tell you who you are). When people reccommend to start adopting the thinking of known gangsters who will stop at nothing to have the riches they feel entitled to. I protest. And I get angry because of the damage this mentality is causing everybody. GS i understand what you are saying, but I am not padding any backs to protect peoples feelings or the popularity of paleo, not when they are speaking shit and its obvious.

There are many ways to generate wealth that doesnt require you to sell your soul. Also, how can wealth accumulation by an admirable goal in itself if you understand that the global financial system
is a racket. Ok, so you do what you can to get comfortable, but if you knowingly join a racket to gain from it you are a muppet all the same. Remember that law, justice and "whats right" are entirely different things and do not connect in our system. Just because something has been made legal doesnt mean it is 'right'.

Hahahaa!!!!

I agree that financial institutions can be gamed and are constantly being manipulated by the rich & powerful. However, I disagree that they were set up as a racket (well, depending on the scope of the statement).

Money in and of itself is a good thing. Makes trade easier between individuals.

The monetary system...not so good. Financial institutions started as a good thing, but for the most part suck.

Personally, I don't seek to engage IN the system so much as I seek to have enough money to get shit done: Take care of my family, create a wealth-based safety net for the future, & enough to actualize plans. Of course, that's probably what robber barons said, too.

I admit I am dead curious as to who chose the option for "earning 500,000 dollars or more a year". I am 90 percent certain that it was just meant as a joke. On the other hand, it is well-known that the rich are far more likely to go in for higher-quality diets than the less well-off. Well, no matter - if that was genuine, then I can fully understand why that person would want to remain anonymous, given the threat of receiving masses of begging-letters etc.

$500 000 isn't that much plus after tax, if you a wage slave in Australia makes it only $300 150. Ouch but I'd take it.

Most multi millionaires I know, you wouldn't even know it anyway, they drive around in crap cars, have houses which really aren't extravagant.

I don't see $500,000 in my immediate future, but some goals are coming within striking distance.

Of course, for the self-employed it's always about diversifying the revenue streams and creating passive income.
