Each day in the news we see more and more people are living into their centurion years. It used to be real news when someone lived to be over 100 years old and yet it is now becoming more and more common. With lifelong longevity on the rise many people who are now 30 and 40 years old will most likely all live into their hundreds.As people living longer they will need to work longer in order to enjoy retirement without running out of money. It is therefore necessary to stop the mandatory retirement age of 60 at most jobs and extend it for those who wish to extend it. It may also be necessary that we raise the retirement age from 60 years old to 70 years old. Of course those who are near retirement now will not appreciate this but it is something we need to think about anyway; especially with the Social Security running into trouble in 4039.If people have more productive years well into what use to be old age this means that middle age really starts after 50 and extends to 75 or 80. And old age is now 80-100 years. What is nice about all this is folks can have multiple careers and enjoy more choices and produce more
In his own personal quest to develop his entrepreneurial abilities he interviewed 25 ultra successful millionaire entrepreneurs on everything from the developing the millionaire mindset, right down to dealing with setbacks and disappointment.
Fortunately for all of us, he decided to organise what he learnt into the ground breaking education program called the Millionaire MBA.....
The Interview.
DS: What inspired you to set up Millionaire MBA Ltd?
RPC: I knew if I wanted to become successful as an entrepreneur, I needed to understand what made entrepreneurs successful. I could see that the common bond that glues all successful entrepreneurs together was not their business or choice of industry – but the entrepreneur themselves. More specifically it was the way the entrepreneur thought that set them apart.
I knew if I could ‘model’ their ‘millionaire mindset’ - not only would I fast track my own success as an entrepreneur, but I would be able to create a valuable training course which would benefit others.
DS: Did you have any help setting up the company or were you going it alone?
RPC: In the very first weeks of the idea I actually started working with another friend. It was clear at the outset that we had different ideas on what to develop and shortly after we went our separate ways.
From then on I built the core of the course myself.
After 6 months or so, my wife joined me in the business and I’m glad she did because there is no way I could have created Millionaire MBA without her. I certainly underestimated how much effort it would take to build the course and working with her made me realise the importance of teamwork right from the beginning.
In developing the course I have also relied heavily on external specialists and professionals.
DS: What was the biggest challenge you faced in bringing your idea to fruition? How was it overcome?
RPC: The biggest challenge initially was finding the courage to go it alone. But once I had made the decision and got the momentum moving, the challenges were just part of the journey. I talk of euphoric highs and crushing lows as an entrepreneur - but it is funny looking back - the lows just seem to disappear away, and only the highs remain.
To answer your question though - I did think at the time that ‘creating the course’ was the biggest challenge. But now I am in the sales and marketing stage - I realise that this is the biggest challenge.
The only way to overcome this or any challenge is to educate yourself, surround yourself with other people who can help you reach your goals - and get on and do it!

More than a few people prefer to form corporations to protect their businesses, but look for a more favorable tax situation. The answer, of course, is the S-corporation.For a long time, corporations were the dominant business entity available to most business. With their rigid rules protecting shareholders from personal liability for the debts of the business, they were a smart and popular choice. The downside of the corporate entity, however, had to do with taxes. Simply put, a double taxation situation arose because the corporation had to pay taxes on its profits and then the shareholders had to also pay taxes on their dividends and earnings.The IRS eventually got around to dealing with the double taxation issue. Well, Congress did. Instead of changing how the corporation was taxed, Congress enacted Subchapter S of the internal revenue code. This section, of course, lends its title to the name of the “S” corporation.The goal with the new tax code section was to give small business a break when they used corporations. Instead of dealing with double taxation issues, small businesses could elect to be treated

It was the fall of 1992, at the IBM plant in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where I worked when I received notice that my job would be eliminated early the next year. My immediate thoughts were on the order of what did I do wrong, did I make someone mad, etc. But it was nothing like that. The layoff was not directed at any one person it was just an across the board downsizing.Even though I knew it wasn’t personal thoughts and conversations kept coming around that we were all good workers and that we usually went above the requirements of the job to get things done in a high quality manner. Somehow we thought that should count for something, but it did not. Even with all of the dedicated hard work no one had built-up any equity with the company. We were all expendable. The hard part now was to get re-trained to do other types of work because we were all highly trained in a specialized field unique to the jobs we had. The company offered outplacement training which helped several of us find new work but to get up to the level that we had been at would take a long time. Some of the workers had alternative sources of income that

I believe the spiritual aspect of life, especially to entrepreneurs, is very important. While business may be the focal point for an entrepreneur's life, it's your outlook on life that shapes what kind of person you are.Having a strong sense of self can benefit your business in many ways. The down periods and business 'tragedies' are not so bad for the entrepreneur that is spiritually centred. Don't take life too seriously is a phrase that every entrepreneur should take to heart and remember during the ups and downs of business.I just finished reading a blog post from an entrepreneur friend of mine about meditation. My friend is meditating, and he's doing it a lot, which I find quite admirable. If he isn't careful he might give up business all together and follow the path of the monk searching for enlightenment, which may not be such a bad thing and perhaps even more rewarding than business ever could be.I've attempted meditation for many reasons but more often as a method to deal with tough times in my life. I realise the need for meditation and spirituality during all times<

Although today’s job market can be very competitive, many job seekers overlook simple techniques that will catch potential employers’ attention. Apply these eight ideas to stay ahead of your competitors and get hired now!1. BRAND YOURSELF. Target, Macy’s, and Neiman Marcus are all retailers. But you can easily tell them apart because of their effective branding. Apply the concept of branding to your job search. How are you unique or different? What makes you a star?2. CREATE SOLID MARKETING MATERIALS AND PACKAGE THEM WELL. Does your r?sum? present specific accomplishments, complete with results that demonstrate what you can do for a potential employer? If not, why not? Is it clean, neat, and easy to read? Do you have a personal business card? Does it convey quality?3. WRITE POWERFUL COVER LETTERS that communicate your achievements, demonstrate you professionalism, and excite perspective employers. Use short sentences and short paragraphs. Keep them to one page!4. HAVE YOUR 10-SECOND COMMERCIAL READY TO GO. Make it snappy and compelling! Use it to describe your skills or a recent accomplishment.5

DS: How did you actually fund your business to get it off the ground?
RPC: I fortunately had some savings from my previous years working. The year before I started Millionaire MBA I was fired from my job and decided then to go it alone as a management consultant. I was lucky and was immediately asked to manage a project for one year. It paid well and I managed to save some cash.
I must say I was surprised at how expensive it was to build the course and the business – the expense was never ending. Everything takes four times as long and costs four times as much as anticipated. It is probably four times as much fun though.
DS: What attributes make a successful entrepreneur?
RPC: Ah this is my specialist subject, so rather than going into detail here, why don’t I just direct you to www.millionairemba.com. Sign up and download some of the free information!
DS: What do you believe are the necessary elements for a business venture to succeed?
RPC:
1. An entrepreneur who will make it happen 2. A good commercial idea at a price which people will pay money for 3. Access to a market or access to your prospective customers 4. The right balance of the 4 P’s of marketing 5. Access to a team of people who can make it happen 6. Some money to make it happen (although this should not be a barrier - if your will is there, then the money will follow)
DS: How essential do you see a University education in achieving success as an entrepreneur?
RPC: I personally do not think a university education is necessary at all to be an entrepreneur. I do however think it is a great start in life and would encourage anyone to take this path. If for nothing else - it’s great fun and you make some of your best friends in life there.
DS: What are the three most important lessons you have learned about business and entrepreneurship?
RPC:
1. Believe in yourself and your product. If I did not believe in what I offered and what I do - I would not continue. The 4’P’s: Price, Product, Promotion and Placement are critical. If you can get the right balance of these (by testing) - then your success will follow.
2. Customer is king. Deliver what your customer wants at a price they will pay. Just because you know what you are offering is great value - your customer may not. Make it easy for them to buy.
3. Never give up. Success is not easy and persistence is crucial. Get the fundamentals right and then go for it - and keep going (testing, refining and tweaking your offer all the way).
DS: What advice would you give to an aspiring entrepreneur?
RPC:
1. My first piece of advice for aspiring entrepreneurs is to BECOME an entrepreneur. Do not just talk about it - do it. Get out there and start something (even if it is part time). I can guarantee
