In the information age, the education you need to get a promotion, a better job or start your own business, is always one click away. Of course everyone and their mother is trying to sell you on something, but with SO MUCH competition on the internet, individuals and companies are just giving away valuable information so you would subscribe to their newsletter or whatever they want you to opt-in for.
Here are some great examples:

Using this free online information I was able to go from minimum wage, which my $40000 college degree helped me get, in a public relations firm, to learning how to increase my own income streams without relying on a piece of paper dictating what I am worth.
If you think you need a college degree in a new area of study to make a move up and on in your life you are buying into what universities were set up for, to make you a good and loyal employee of big business.
Here are two examples of two close people around me breaking the mold:
My father – Driving a limo for $200 per day and working all day and night and never seeing his kids. He got sick of it and taught himself a new computer language, studying on the weekends, while he worked during the week. Went from $45,000 to $225,000 salary in 5 years simply by teaching himself a language that was in demand. (No college degree)
My Best friend Dave – Working in the PSE&G(NJ utility company) making around $35,000 in the call center being a customer service representative. He found out there was a project coming up involving some database computer system which he taught himself in the evenings and weekends and moved his salary up to $120,000 in two years.(No college degree at the time)
There is absolutely no excuse why you can not be where you want to be in your life. Your email entitles you to countless books of free education in the latest money making techniques in almost any industry online. It is up to you to take advantage of the resources sitting online waiting for you to take em.
My network directly influences me in the right direction because I surround myself with people who strive for success and I must tell you it is very contagious. On the flip side, so is mediocrity and misery, if your network consists of those two you should look no further as to why you don’t feel motivated or encouraged to grab your dreams.
So join my network on Facebook and let me inspire you up and above where you are now, because I am always looking for new people to inspire me further. My Facebook
