If youre like me, you didnt have a pampered life. Well, lets say it another way: What should you do when daddy and mommy dont have loads of cash to give you? Or your family isnt so prestigious they can't get you a job that pays well enough for you to take vacations, have several kids, buy a large home and trade-in the BMW every three years?

So what should you do? You have some schooling. You worked in several industries like the insurance business, the mortgage business and dabbled in other various businesses. You started some of your own ventures but they fizzled out for various reasons. Now you need to make money. And most job prospects are paying, what they think is so much money for you, $34,000 a year. After you take out expenses: taxes, gas, lunch, clothes, car payments and car repairs you barely have enough money for rent and food. You definitely dont have enough for going out or other forms of casual low-end entertainment. Forget dating.

What if you like your job and it pays well enough but dont have the time to pursue any other passions? I live in Los Angeles, many people here pursue their acting careers. But plenty more, want to do so many other endeavors. The number one thing: their job pays the bills (most report barely) but it takes about fifty-five hours a week. Consider the commute and any other errands for work during the week.

Ok. Lets recap. Little schooling. Little money. Decent past business experiences. And very little time.

Well, this is what I did. I bought a turnkey system. A turnkey system is supposed to give you all you need to know on the business to get it up and running. I literally bought a Real Estate Turnkey system for less than $80 and promised to do everything the book told me. Which I did. You know what? I didnt make any money. What a rip off, right? Nope, because it opened up my mind to a new market hurdle. But now, I had clarity of mind for a new business: real estate. So I went on the internet and found someone who had the same problem I did. And he encouraged me to buy another turnkey marketing system that just came out but this time it was $300. I did. You know what? I made $45,000. After that, I turned to another turnkey system for $5,000 then made $425,000.

Then I thought I could stop because I definitely know everything. Im the real deal. I must be a millionaire mind genius. Maybe Einstein or Stephen Hawking (a modern day equivalent) want to start taking advice from me. Im a genius, right? Well, guess what? I lost it all. Thats right back to where I started. So what did I learn?

Turnkey systems are good. Turnkey systems are great. Turnkey systems shouldnt be abandoned. Remember, if use a turnkey system, you didnt have the knowledge in the first place. After you apply their principles and tasks keep educating yourself. Its a continual thing. Every six months, or year buy the newest system out there. Find out what has evolved since you started. Find out how the millionaires during the past twelve months did it. There could be vital trade secrets that help you along the way. These were most likely discovered after you purchased a turnkey system. Putting you at a disadvantage. Dont fret, the person who used the new cutting edge technique will probably share it with you for a very nominal price.
