It seems everywhere you go these days, at least in the US, the conversations are about the price of gasoline. No wonder, since it's broken the $3.00 a gallon barrier and is causing a lot of people real hardships.

I'm old enough to remember the gas lines of the 1970's when a similar situation occurred. At that time, I had a production services company in New England, in partnership with a man named, Irving Goldmacher.

In addition to being one of the two smartest people I've known - my wife, Georgia, being the other - Irving was a fascinating person. I could probably write a book about him.

One day, in the midst of soaring gas prices, Irving went out and bought a new Caddilac, a car that was known to have low gas mileage. I asked him if he had lost his mind, buying a gas guzzling car when gas prices were at an all time high.

"James," he answered, "if the price of gas goes up, I'll just figure out how to make more money. I'm not going to live my life worrying about the price of gasoline." Talk about a prosperity mindset!

What a great outlook. Irving knew he was capable of creating whatever income he wanted, no matter what was going on around him. This is the real key to living a prosperous life. Be in control of your income.

First, realize that your income comes from God and is not dependent on the economy. If you believe otherwise, you're in for a challenging time.

Then, develop additional streams of income to supplement whatever else you're doing. If you have a job, this might mean starting a part-time business. If you're already in business, it may mean adding new revenue streams to your existing products or services. Whatever your path, it is crucial to have more than one channel of income.

This way, you are gaining more control over your income. For those of you who want to break free of the shackles of economic ups and downs, I've created a new program.

Why did I do this?

Well, if you've read any of my books, you know that I've pretty much done it all when it comes to "The financial roller coaster."

I've been down and out, lived in a car and gone for days without food. I've also traveled first class, live in a magnificent home, drive a luxury car, and am known throughout the world as a leader in the personal development.

In order to change my life, I was forced to come to terms with money and finances.

Only after reading hundreds of books, listening to hours of audio's, working with the best coaches, and years of trial and error, struggle and disappointment, did I finally learn the "Secrets" of financial mastery and how to have more, make more, keep more and get of debt once and for all.

I've put all that I learned through the "school of hard knocks" into an easy to follow new book and audio home study program - "Stop Living Paycheck to Paycheck "

Don't be left out. Act now and make this advantage work for you.

Wishing you abundance and prosperity,

Jim
