Your Focus Becomes Your Thoughts
Often times the mind works a million miles an hour. We live in a day of constant noise and distraction. Lately all I can think about is stock piling and investing in commodities. The problem is as I focus merely on that I forget the very essence that got me to this point... which is the best way I know how to produce capital from my real estate business. I have slowed down in what fuels that business vehicle. That is prospecting and lead generating. Why though? I look at what I am reading constantly and it is all future things for me to do with my capital. Yet with no capital I cannot do those things. So first and foremost I must pay myself.
What does it mean to pay yourself first? It means create an investment account which you will accumulate to a certain capital number. Then once the capital number is sufficient take that capital and invest it into a cashflowing passive income. Cashflow is what the focus of investing should be. Not capital gains. Capital gains can be nice, yet it typically always comes at a loss. Much like vegas... sooner or later the luck will run out.
So what should the mind focus on and how? The mind should focus on the simple joys of life. Yes if everyone had $20,000 a month residual income it would be easy. But what about the guy only making $3,000 to $5,000 a month with 3 kids and and bills running out the wazoo! Is money the real simple joy of life? No. But a focused plan on creating financial freedom should be created. Yet in the mean time when there isn't exactly financial freedom we should seek to enjoy life. And the reality is, joy does not come from activities that cost money, yet from the relationships that are built during the activity.
On Saturday, my wife and I had the opportunity to go with some friends and make mozzerella cheese. They also invited some of their good friends and some family. I realized after it was a low cost night... or should I say day out, and we enjoyed the company of great people.
The B Side to The Truth is this life is about the moments of joy that are developed from the creation of memories. If we put our focus on enjoying life and creating memories our thoughts will be of enjoyment. Must people do not enjoy life, because they do not focus on enjoying life. It must become a priority. So remember... pay yourself first... in all realms of life!

But and a huge but!! If you are going to keep money in the 401k I would look into this company called Silver Wheaton. Check out their website at www.silverwheaton.com. They are booming and will continue to boom as the financial crisis swells with in the United States. They have 15 silver contracts at $4.20 an ounce to mine some where around 40 million ounces of silver by 2013. Current silver prices are just under $30 dollars an ounce. Silver is predicted to be over $60 dollars on ounce by 3rd quarter of 2011. That is double the current value. And if the dollar does collapse it will go back to its 1/16 ratio which means it will be well over $100 an ounce. That’s over 300% return on your money. And having your 401k with a chunk in this company may keep your retirement not only alive but a lot more profitable than expected.
The problem with the upcoming market is fully loaded against YOU! We have inflation on the rise with things such as corn inflating as much as 50% in the last 23 months. Oil is now over $90 a barrel and some of my research indicates it could (I think will) be over $150 a barrel. That means get ready for 5 and 6 dollars a gallon in Gas and super high prices for diesel. You will see commodities at the grocery store more than likely double, triple, or even more. Also with the inflation in gas those numbers will go up. So here is the bad part for retirement plans, the baby boomer’s need their money to survive. So you will see a huge surge in the next few years of baby boomer’s withdrawing their money to survive and very little or none will be reinvested. So the typical long term stock investments will shatter a retirement.
So my advice can be taken for what it is worth.
1. Increase your financial knowledge by understanding this screwed up money system. Knowledge is the best investment.
2. Get 6 months of food storage ASAP.
3. Buy physical silver coins to have at home in the safe.
4. re-diversify your 401k into bull markets. I SCREAM GET OUT! BUT IF YOU INSIST TO STAY IN put it into for sure bull markets! I do not understand how the financial planner’s continually preach long term mutual funds when the US Dollar has lost over 40% value since the banking crisis the end of 2008. Even having money just sitting in the bank is actually losing money right now!!!! It will continue to get worse this year. 95% of mortgages are now owned by the Federal Reserve which is a central bank and not owned by the US government.
5. Don’t waste time beginning your research… financial education is one thing this country lacks and it will cost many their entire life savings. I have seen many Large Privatized Financial and Other experts take a public stance on the current situation, from Tony Robbins, to Stansberry’s Investment Research, to Robert Kiyosaki, and Even Mr. Apprentice himself, Donald Trump. So when I see financial experts heeding a warning along with my own studies I know it definitely is a serious matter.
The B Side To The Truth is simple today... take the time to educate yourself on a very serious matter. A financial matter.

If you're gonna be stuck in paper assets at least MAKE MONEY!
Silver Wheaton Check this company out!
So If you're gonna be stuck in a paper asset as the dollar continues to devalue you will definitely want to check this company out! Silver Wheaton. Right now it has 15 silver purchase agreements at upfront agreements. This means as the price of silver goes up, the price of the purchase stays the same. There for it is an amazing return on your investment.
Most of you follower's know, I always highly recommend buying and holding actual silver or gold. Yet I assume many of you may be skeptical as most of my own family and friends are. So if you just have to have a paper asset, well this is the one for you. With stocks trading around $36 to $38 dollars a share and the price of silver looking to double in the next six months, makes this stock price a bargain with a high rate of return. Even higher rate of return if you were to buy and hold the physical silver.
Still I suggest buying and holding with the to many unknowns a head of us. Yet you are the captain of your own vessel!
The B Side To The Truth is opportunities are all around us... you have to look for them though and get off your ass sometimes. To have change in your life requires action... so take action now! And a word to the wise... if you don't have 6 to 8 months of food storage... get some quick! Wait much longer and it will be to expensive or worse... to late.

Living While Preparing
Life is to be enjoyed. Simple.
As we head into uncharted waters with the United States and the largest financial crisis in history and as we head into this exact unknown future we must remember one thing. Life is to be enjoyed.
With a Mormon back ground and having served a two year mission for the church I recall one phrase from the Book of Mormon that always brought me peace. "Adam fell that men might be, and men are that they might have joy." I know no other reason for existence then simply for the feeling of joy.
With the rush of life and the world full of derivatives, we must remember this simple principle and the "pursuit of happiness". The pursuit of happiness is coined phrase from the United States Declaration of Independence that when paraphrased from English Philosopher, John Locke, it was meant in a fact of being happy. The pursuit is to constantly be looking for happiness in all things.
As my wife and I prepare for unprecedented times, we must constantly remind ourselves of the great things in our abundant life. Constantly cultivating a life full of gratitude. In all the history of time, we are alive now, in this era, and what an exciting time to be in the history of existence!
The B Side To The Truth is life is real and life is to be enjoyed. While we enjoy it we must prepare. Yet let's not get so caught up in preparations that we cannot enjoy the "pursuit of happiness!"

Inflation Insmation!
"The United States would be mistaken to take for granted the dollar's place as the predominant reserve currency. Looking forward, there will increasingly be other options to the dollar." - Robert B. Zoellick, World Bank President.
According to Stansberry's and Associates Investment research, signs of hyper inflation have already began. Stansberry's and Associates Investment Research accurately predicted the 2008 banking crisis collapse, the collapse of GM, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and many other large corporations. As you now know trillions of dollars was pumped into the system through bail outs.
Since early 2009 after the banking collapse we have seen inflation in many of the commodity trade industries. For example:
The B Side To The Truth is the financial crisis is not over. In fact it is just beginning. So take the time to turn off the propaganda and turn on your mind. And I would also recommend turning to God.

- Soy beans have gone up 28%
- Corn has gone up 48%. Also I will remind you corn is used in nearly every thing that is purchased at the grocery store.
- Silver: up 125%. Also to note, there is less supply of silver on the Earth then there is Gold.
- Gold: up 85%.
- Copper: up 170%.
The B Side To The Truth is the financial crisis is not over. In fact it is just beginning. So take the time to turn off the propaganda and turn on your mind. And I would also recommend turning to God.

Ponzi Schemes Unseen
A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to separate investors from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors, rather than from any actual profit earned. The Ponzi scheme usually entices new investors by offering returns other investments cannot guarantee, in the form of short-term returns that are either abnormally high or unusually consistent. The perpetuation of the returns that a Ponzi scheme advertises and pays requires an ever-increasing flow of money from investors to keep the scheme going.
Knowingly entering a Ponzi scheme, even at the last round of the scheme, can be rational economically if there is a reasonable expectation that government or other deep pockets will bail out those participating in the Ponzi scheme.
Bail out is a familiar phrase these days. Trillions of dollars have just been used to bail out the current US economy and also the European Union. How is it so many Americans can continually believe in a false industry such as banking. Since 1920 when Charles Ponzi duped many of investors, there has a become an awareness for Ponzi schemes first described in Charles Dickens 1857 novel Little Dorrit.
It has been said the biggest Ponzi Scheme in history was discovered on December 10, 2008 when the FBI arrested Bernard "Bernie" Madoff totalling in over $64 billion dollars of loses from duped investors. Yet as the unraveling of bail outs and the current fiat money system of the World unfolds it is very clear to those who have any sense of financial education to recognize the real largest Ponzi Scheme of history which is the Ponzi Scheme of Central Banking. The tax payers continue to pay for the bail outs while the super rich are protected with T-notes of borrowed money from the Federal Reserve. Or in other words Government prints money and inflates the currency system.
One of two things will happen... 1. is total collapse or 2. is floating the Giant Ponzi scheme to a World Currency and World Banking System.
Dooms dayer's can sit and dwell on the fact that it is a dual edged sword, yet it is fact. So the question is what can you do to protect yourself?
1. Invest in your knowledge and financial education.
2. Buy food Storage.
3. Eliminate bad debt, ie debt that takes money out of your pocket and not into your pocket.
4. Invest in commodities, ie gold, silver, wheat, tangible usable items.
5. diversified portfolio in the system. NOT 401k's and IRA's, yet get knowledge in the bull markets and invest there.
The B Side To The Truth is the World Economy is not in a good position. The good thing is this, with the right knowledge many can come out a head through this recession. The bad thing is, many will not take control of their life to gain the necessary knowledge needed for the years to come and many will lose everything.
Start today to change the world by changing yourself. If everyone did that one thing... the world would be a better place.

True Wealth... and Acts of Service
“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” - Gandhi
The reality of life is we get lost in the hustle and bustle of things that do not even matter. As the Christmas season has arrived it is a great time to sit back and analyze the things that do matter. Over the last 4 years, the United States of America has definitely had some major changes that effected millions of Americans lifestyles.
Money comes and goes and for some seems to grow on trees, yet real joy requires no money at all. As I have had the opportunity to travel to Brazil and visit from the north part of the country to the south part of the country I have been able to see from the super rich to the slums of poverty. And believe it or not the happiest people I met were the young poor children. The one that could take the pot and beat it with a spoon and never even hear of an Ipad their whole entire life. As many locations outside of the united states are this way, I realized quickly happiness does not come from money, things, and apparel.
The B Side To The Truth is real happiness and wealth comes from acts of service and simple joys of life. Taking the time to let the stress' of life go and embrace the love of another. The ability to give whether it be time, money, or anything for a positive will develop and cultivate a true feeling of joy and happiness. Not to mention the more you give in a particular thing, the more you will receive in the same. Give more money and more money will find its way back to you. Give more time and more time will find its way back to you. Give more of your knowledge and gain more knowledge.
So during these holiday times take a second to forget about the new fancy jeans, the awesome Christmas lights, the wonderful food, the sweet new electronics and fill that time with joy, love, and service. We have created a fallacy of self-gratification during this time, when it really is a time to cultivate charity and love by giving. Ask yourself... how can I give more at this time in my life?
By giving... you will receive what you truly desire.

Beauties of Life
Lately on The B Side To The Truth our consistent theme has been in the financial realm. With the upcoming financial crisis we have been doing as much as possible to get the word out to people to help them protect themselves with the dollar inflation and the weak economy which is falsely growing.
Today however, I would like to touch on a subject that really is why this website started. As the motto goes for us, "Change the World by changing yourself", the reality of life is we have a certain amount of time on this Earth. So today this message is about just being.
On my new blog you can check out at reasonably senseless, I write about the stories our mind tends to create in life, whether good, bad, or the thoughts that makes us feel crazy. Yesterday I wrote about someone that had taken their own life. It really made a hard mental note in those at his jiu jitsu gym. It gives a sense of reality of how precious this life is.
On the new blog it is an attempt to show that everyone has similar mind games in life and give hope of not only a better future but of a better now.
The very essence of existence is beauty in itself. There are five realms to our life: spiritual, mental, physical, social, and financial. A lot of despair in today's world is coming from the fear of not enough. Whether it's not enough money, not appreciated enough, not cool enough, or simply not feeling important.
The B Side To The Truth is each and every person has an incredible amount of worth and value. The secret is to be able to look inside oneself and find it for oneself. Life and bliss is right now. Whether you are rich, middle class, or poor... you have beauty to look at. We spend most of our life worrying about things that in the end they don't even matter. So take the time today to appreciate your beauties of life.
