is stated in our vision. World Abundance through Business Re-education. In other words, our competition is world abundance, it's enormous, and that's how big we can get. Abundance versus Scarcity And while you're asking for more, you'd better understand that for most people getting more means that someone else has to go without. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is literally more than enough to go around. Scarcity was first espoused by the English preacher Thomas Malthus, who worked out that England would run out of food, as there were too many people for food production, yet even to this day we still produce more than enough food to feed the entire planet. Yet because we believe in scarcity (this is more commonly known as supply and demand), much of it gets thrown away. In business, you've got to realize that there is always more than enough money to go around. The question is, when will you go out and get your share? Abundance is a mind-set, a mind-set that understands how technology has removed scarcity. How the old thoughts in economics are exactly that-old. How Much Do You EarnP Just to prove that thinking differently is so important, write down how much money you earned last year. Now add a zero to the end of it. You've just increased your income tenfold. If you were to make that much money doing exactly what you're doing right now, how hard would you have to work? You've got to stop working harder, and start working smarter. And by the way, notice this one thing about money. Remember, people with jobs earn money, people in their own business make money, and entrepreneurs create money. 14
