Watch Robert Paisola Train Live on The Cycle of Debt and Why People
Pay their friends, and NOT their enemies!

So, you think you have
"what it takes" to become a
successful entrepreneur, do ya?
Now, I'm not just talking about being able
to pay your bills and have zero debt. I'm talking about being
super successful, so successful that you
become a recognized industry leader
in the industry of your choice, somebody who is looked to
by the public and media as the foremost
expert in your field.
This
kind of success you might consider to be nothing more than a
pipe dream right now,
but guess what! It can be yours, if you have
what it takes inside to push forward AND you can
handle the pressure!
My idea of being an entrepreneur means
that you realize that there is opportunity in everything
you do and everything around you represents an
opportunity unseen.
You are in tune with that "gut
feeling" inside that tells you what you
need to do to take advantage of opportunities
before anybody else even notices it.
Where others
see disaster, you as an entrepreneur
see potential.
When others
think it can't be done, entrepreneurs find at least half a dozen
ways to get it done, if not more!
When others
who do not have
the entrepreneurial mindsetthink of challenge, they run for cover and
hide. Sometimes they will come out of
their hole to throw a few stones at those that are DOING, not
DREAMING.
When
entrepreneurs think of challenge, they also run,
but they do not run and hide and throw stones, they run around like
children in circles of excitement just thinking about the possible
ventures ahead.
That is a tall order and many people
have TRIED their whole life to gain that success that they believe
that they deserve. But Nothing Happens...
Over the past month there have been
individuals who have done all that they possibly can to try to ruin
the reputation that We have built with you, our students, clients,
customers and trainees. You have heard my life story a million
times and I am so grateful for the events that have happened in my
life. Because it is due to these events, that caused me to
have an AWAKENING and realize that I can truly create change in the
world. For one thing that I know is that there have been many
people before me that have tried to overcome the past, and many have
succeeded, but unfortunately, many have also failed.
Western Capital is a complete open
book. We know that what is propelling us to be so successful so
quickly is the attention that we get from individuals such as guys
like "Uncle Normie
and Bill Bauer AKA CreditWrench" who refuse to remove the veil of identity to tell you,
the American Public, who they really are. We could care less.
We will let the Media Deal With Them.
Our relationship with the National
Media is solid, and we have done some incredible things to create
change in the digital world called the internet. We have worked
directly with individuals in 9 countries to provide you with a way
to "fix" the slander, deceit and lies that people spread about you
and your company... We present

While people like Norm are out in the
wilderness, lost in life and creating fake websites ABOUT ME AND
THIS COMPANY and even PRETENDING to be me (that is the most sincere
form of flattery!), We have been busy creating the
Western Capital
Foundation, that supports former offenders who
have been cast away by the system and told that there is no hope in
their lives.
We, in association with our clients,
have donated time and labor to the
Habitat for Humanity Programs. The photos are on this website.
Look at the home that was created from the ground up in only one
week, out of mere love.
We have created a
Venture Capital Fund to
support the dreams and achievements of offenders who have a solid
track record of being Accountable and who have also created change
in the world even in the midst of their experiences.
As an Internationally Recognized Public Speaker and Trainer, I
have had the opportunity to meet tens of thousands of people around
the world. I have seen the best that life has to offer and I
have seen the worst that life can dish out. But one thing that
I have learned is that there are many different types of people in
this world, and I have learned the art of "understanding"
(not judging) each
person's individual situation.
How can you or I judge them if
we have
not walked in their shoes?
How can we make judgments, unless we
have all of the facts? And even then, is it our job to judge them or
do we hold them in their magnificence for what they have
accomplished
(Even our friend and foe "Normie")
and WHO IT IS THAT THEY TRULY ARE? Deep
from Within their soul? do they have a soul? YES? Are they
worth honoring just because they are somewhat misguided? YES!
Now, What if
someone were to judge you for actions that happened in your life 10
YEARS AGO? What would YOU do? Would you become vindictive or
would you simply ask this simple question "What-Would-Love-Do-Here?"
Another lesson that I have learned
more recently is that no matter how successful you become or no
matter how many people you assist to obtain their dreams, visions
and goals; there will ALWAYS be people out there just waiting for
you to fail!
Why is this? Have we
as a population sunk so low, that we fail to look in the mirror at
ourselves and say "I am glad that there are people in this world who
are doing something about the worlds problems.- What can I do to
assist?"
How would you like to go through life knowing
that there are people who want to see you fail? Wow!
Could you really handle
the pressure factor?
There is one thing that makes
everyone in the Universe the same, and that is that each and every
one of us has the ability deep down inside to create the life that
they deserve. The biggest difference is that so many people give up
on their dreams... Why?
There are many who would argue this
point and say "No, he/she does not deserve success" or "He/She is stupid,
and they will never be successful" .... but if
and WHEN that happens to YOU,
how will you deal with it? Will you run and hide or will
you run in excitement for the challenges that life has given you
that have made YOU WHO YOU ARE TODAY?
I have seen and met many "sideline
quarterbacks" who openly state that they are from "the old school"
and that each and every person in the world is a clear victim and
product of their past.
They clearly believe that people that
do drugs will either go to jail, institutions or die.
They say that people who were abused
as children had it coming anyway.
They say that people that have made
mistakes in their past should be shoved to the side as outcasts, and
that there is no such thing as repentance or forgiveness.
Wow! Intense huh?
Well guess
what my friends, there are people like this all over the world and
if you decide that you want to be successful, then you are going to
be in the public eye, there is no way to stop that. By
being in the limelight, you will encounter people like this on a
daily basis. That is IF, you CHOOSE
to PERMIT them to Enter Into Your
Personal Space as you
take the leap in the
entrepreneur venue, The good News is that IT IS SIMPLY YOUR
CHOICE.
Now,
not to blow our own horn, lets take a quick look at what
we at Western Capital have chosen to do.
We have taken them to the mat, and
yes, because of that, they are rightfully pissed and angry.
How would you like me to collect from you? Just listen to the
tapes in the NEWS SECTION.
You see, we are now YOUR advocates.
Besides, how would you feel if you
were a CEO who built a 100 Million Dollar Company and then someone
like me came along and exposed the leaks and secrets in their
organization that only they knew about. You would be furious!
So now, given all of the facts,
you have a choice to make, do you continue to fight the fight,
knowing that you are helping thousands of people? Or do you
run and hide? To A true entrepreneur this is an easy
question, you keep fighting!
So, when the bullets fly, how will
you step up to handle the situation.
Now, lets take this a little further;
what if the opposition started going after people in your family,
your friends and your business associates, in a plain attempt to
harass you? Would you have enough self confidence in your
internal power and abilities to continue forward NO MATTER WHAT THE
COST?
If you said yes to that question,
then YOU ARE AN ENTREPRENEUR. If you are unsure, maybe you
should look in the mirror and define exactly what it is that you
DESERVE in life.
One thing that I know is this, People
in life make mistakes. People end up marrying the wrong "one".
People end up will compulsive addictions that they can not overcome
by themselves. People are victimized as children, and many of
those people can not overcome the trauma associated with that abuse
until "someone" reaches out to help them. People end up in
prisons and jails for mistakes of their youth and are told by
society that they are a nobody and that their opinion does not
matter and that they should just "Run and Hide" Perhaps this
is the reason that the Prison Recidivism Rate in the USA is 77% ! Oh
well, it's not my fault they say. Hmmm...
But here is the real question.....
Once that person traumatized person realized that he or she was not
merely one of the millions of people in this world that I call "The
Walking Dead" and decided that there was a better way to live, how
did they handle the experience?
Did they allow others to trap them in
their personal history, their family history, their past problems,
their past addictions or their past actions?.... or did they see
them as the true magnificent creators that they have been created to
be... And look at the fruits and results of their labors TODAY!
Something to think about.
O
ffenders CAN BE REHABILITATED and turned into wonderful American
citizens. I truly believe that even the most hardened
criminals in America can be softened.... if we just listen to what
they have to say with our hearts.
One of the things that I do as a
trainer, coach and lecturer is visit Prisons and Jails across the
world talking to inmates and staff about the inner power that each
and every individual that is or has been through the criminal
justice system has within himself or herself to make the decision
from deep inside which direction he will go when he reaches that
magical day of personal freedom. Will he have enough inner
strength to simply "do what is right and move forward" or will
he have to become one of the 77% of offenders who are required to
return to detention
tion.
During these programs, We routinely
discuss the stories of their individual childhood experiences, the
abuse, the neglect, the feelings of loss and how they have been
going through every king of "PROGRAM" imaginable, all to no avail.
During these session, especially with
young offenders, We dig deep. And I am not talking surface
"How are you feeling today stuff" DEEP! Stuff that you
could not even imagine.
But at the end of the day, I can
promise you that there is not a dry eye in the audience,
correctional officers included.
After one of the events, I had an
inmate come up to me and say "Rob, you saved my life"
Words can not describe the feelings that I had at that very moment
in my life.
So. how are you doing now? Do you
"Get what's happening in our country"?
Now, we also know that An entrepreneur is
high on life, often hating the fact that they have to "waste" part
of their life to sleep!
They are the
people who always seem to be thinking about business. Their passion
shows in all they do and they rarely lack energy when it comes to
following up on a new idea.
They have moved beyond their past
failures and know that success is imminent.
An
entrepreneurial mindset is not like anything you can define in a few
sentences. It's active, alive, constantly calculating, and always on
the lookout for the next big opportunity.
No matter who you are or where you have come
from, you're not going to be able to do it all yourself.
There will come a time when you will have to hire employees, apply
for loans, speak to investors and be the true
leader that you are. If you are not a
leader, nobody will ever follow you unless you CREATE
the opportunity for them to see the good that you have INSIDE YOU.
You will see that they could care less about your past.
It is kind of like applying for a job with a sterling Harvard
Resume, but you do not get the job? What happened? Well
always remember who the 98% of the wealthiest people in America are.
What is THEIR Education level? Would they trust you with their
life? Think about it.
