Teenage years for Russ Whitney were not filled with opportunity, stability and financial security. He, as a teenager, was described as youth with no future prospects.

He, at this age, did indeed look to embody a guy that was ‘going nowhere’. He had dropped out of high school and although was street smart didn’t exude much of a potential for achievement. With no education, no qualifications, no ambition, he didn’t justify being taken seriously.

He changed all of that and his job was what gave him the confidence and motivation to change his life.

Russ Whitney and early adulthood

After he dropped out of school he needed to find gainful employment.

It was the Tobin Meat Packing Factory in Albany, New York that gave him the job described as the starting block to a life filled with successes.

His job was nothing remarkable; he was a meat packer and earned an hourly wage. He earned $5 an hour packing meat for Tobin’s.

A wife and child to support at the age of twenty and his meager wage meant that he struggled to stay afloat financially. His financial concerns and uninspiring job led him to seek alternative employment options.

He began to look at the various options available to make extra money. All the wealth creating schemes that he attempted he argued were either “pure junk” or, as he says, “Required a lot of money to start”.

A good book gave him an idea to develop a business plan that didn’t require great start-up capital. He realized that the real estate investment market was a viable means to create wealth and, three weeks after ordering the book, had made $11,000.

Russ Whitney in the money

In order to make his first money, he

He also increased his own net worth by implementing a variety of creative techniques.

He moved his family to Cape Coral when he turned twenty-five. In Florida, he borrowed the amount of $1,000 in order to effectively restructure his strategies. He then went on to create a fortune to the tune of $4.7 million. At this point, he never had to worry about money for the rest of his life.

Russ Whitney the millionaire

Upon making his first million, he wrote first book entitled, “Overcoming the Hurdles and Pitfalls of Real Estate Investing”.

With this book, he hopes to tell people exactly what he did to amass his wealth whether it was the right or wrong move. He intends to let people know how they can also achieve financial success but without making the errors that he made.

Russ Whitney’s incredible achievement

Russ Whitney started off with nothing; he was a high school dropout with no prospects. He decided that he wasn’t going to accept his fate and be a poor and unsuccessful man all his life, and aimed his standards higher.

With determination hard work and a will to succeed, he reached and surpassed his high standards.

He is the example of a man who doesn’t wait for opportunity but goes out and creates his own. With his advice you can follow his lead and create an opportunity of your own.

This isn’t a selfish millionaire. Russ Whitney wants to share his secrets to wealth with you he wants you to experience all the freedom and security of financial independence.

Do you go through the same slump every year? It begins somewhere in November. Your business slacks and you realize that your income is going to come way down at the very time when you want to be spending and buying. You get sad and then you get scared and before you know it, you’re in a full blown depression. Somehow the thought ,” Desperation doesn’t sell” finds a way into your already crowded brain. How can you turn this around, or better yet, nip it in the bud? Here is a way to survive, even thrive this Holiday Season:

Think outside the box:

Here’s an example:

It’s Tuesday afternoon and I’m giving a coaching session to one of my clients, Sandy. I ask her how she is doing and she admits to not only being nervous about money but being downright panicked. Her fear was real. She wasn’t even sure how she was going to cover her rent in January.

Sandy is a new real estate agent and had planned to have some escrows to get her through the holidays which never materialized. When I questioned her on marketing strategies she said , “I really think I’m doing everything I can do.”

The voice of fear:

When we dialogued with the nervous, scared part of her , we found out some useful information. Basically this was a very practical part of her. It wanted bottom line results. Nothing vague would do. It said loud and clear, “Show me the money!”

Now Sandy had something valuable to work withthe only solution to calming down her fear was to manifest money and do it quickly.

She looked at me, stumped. “I’m using every real estate strategy that I know and I’m getting desperate. ” So I asked her what other skills, talents and abilities she had. “Well , I used to do waitressing in the past.” So I asked her about doing that temporarily to get her through the slump. “Oh, I can’t possibility do that, because everyone in my town would see me and think I was a failure in real estate.” When I suggested that she find work out of her immediate vicinity she remembered she had some restaurant connections in a nearby city.

Transforming fear into action:

Her mood lightened and the worried expression changed to a smile. ” Yeah maybe I can do that but how do I keep from feeling like I’ve failed at my major career?” So I asked her, “How many actors and actresses do you think waited tables in Hollywood before becoming famous?” We put our heads together and figured more than 80%.

So I said, “What if they looked at their waiter or waitress job and labled themselves as failures because they had to do socalled menial work to survive?” Sandy carefully considered what I said and decided that she would adopt the same attitude. Further she decided that this meant she really was successful because she was committed to success. She was willing to do whatever it took to succeed in her chosen career.

Look for immediate feedback:

When our session ended, Sandy was looking quite pleased with herself and I knew she was on the right track. What I wasn’t expecting was immediate feedback. She called me about 10 minutes after the session , and very excitedly told me , “I did it, I called my restaurant connections and I already have 3 jobs at 3 parties. They all sound like a blast! The last one is a masquerade party and I’m really looking forward to it.”

She proved my point , you can always turn fear into action. Furthermore, if you focus on what gives you joy, you’ll find a way to get paid for what you love to do.
