Of course it’s a lot of West and South music as that’s more of my angle anyway. Also, Woman Discretion is advised as this is raw rap music that I listen to while working out or looking for newer instrumentals and it’s not something I usually play in front of women. I have to stay motivated while working out so I just put music on the mp3 and workout. So since most of you cats email me about where I get the music from here’s 40 minutes worth of music. Enjoy!

Complaining about what happened to you personally, expressing personal disgust for the other gender and overall looking for something in common through being a victim is stupid. The Sucker always speaks on what he has in common with other Suckers. The Sucker is so proud of it that they think it must be common to all Men. The expression of Love or Hate when it comes to Chip$ is a mistake made by most Suckers to this game. To tell the world that you cannot control the simplest part of your life is a flaw that should never be revealed.

Well this podcast is both 1 & 2 as I have some things I need to apologize to you for as I didn’t get your permission and I sometimes have to defend my podcasts or my writing. Don’t worry I didn’t sell your email addresses to freedildo.com as I don’t have that ulterior motive. But, I receive so many emails from you cats that I chose to respond to them in this fashion, in this form on my forum. Enjoy… now lets get back to building!

It’s almost like we grew up in a different culture. But when you really look at all that you have to go through just to break even it’s no wonder most people fail. Bad schools, lawlessness, drugs, poverty, violence, ignorance and just a element of chaos. For those of us who make it out it’s no wonder we can’t relate to most people. But, when we do we are stronger for it. Now me saying left for dead seems kind of harsh but if you were to tell a story to someone who didn’t know you it would look like someone left you in the worst possible place. But, enough with that kind of talk enjoy the podcast! Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes The rules to make it for most people don’t always apply to those who started on the bottom.

We get sidetracked primarily by people and small things that are not worth one second of thinking. A lot of us find it hard to stay on point when you get bombarded by so many outside influences. Those influences can be your emotions, finances, depression and even family. The reason why we lose focus is because we have failed to prioritize what is the most important or what is the thing that I can do to solve them all. In order to stay on point you have to focus on the thing that will put you in the best place. When it comes to this chip game that is focusing on your money and getting the necessary money to build your empire. If you think about it the rest of the things you focus on do not build you in any way. The reason why you aren’t where you need to be or making significant movements to your empire is because you let others things be number 1.

So every once in a while I double back to it and listen to it again. It was originally put up in February 2010. I don’t think I can say it any better than what was said on this podcast. You can sum up almost all that I will ever put on the R&G from this podcast. The decision to do for yourself is something way beyond just making sure you have a job. It’s really saying you are your own Man or Woman in this world. The money is byproduct of this kind of thinking but to have independence and control of the way the wind blows is true power. Throughout the R&G I typically speak the method that leads to the solution. But, if you ever want to skip to the end of the book this is the podcast that does all of that. Enjoy, Absorb & Apply!

They don’t know exactly what they have walked into. They sure as hell don’t know what they signed up for. Now that I scared you I’m not talking about the mafia but merely about the rules that weed the undisciplined out on the plantation. This podcast is about things that I have experienced, seen first hand or heard through others about the many tactics used by the Devils who run the plantation. It’s just another one to grow on kind of podcast that had to be said so I can say that I didn’t forget to put this kind of information out. Enjoy!

They think the majority of the people who seem to make it must have a will stronger than most. They think they just haven’t met the right person, read the right book or found the right mentor. The real reason why they will continue to fail is because they don’t know to seek Information over Inspiration. With the right information with or without anyone to inspire you anything can be built. Without the information it doesn’t matter how much the world inspires you don’t even know the first step! Information NOT Inspiration is the way to success. While someone may make you feel good it’s not what is needed. The Lost always look for Inspiration and the Found FOUND the Information!

Of course stemming from all the events of the Occupy Wall Street cats and the raise the taxes on the rich and the neverending foreclosure stuff it was bound to happen. People think I am cold about what’s going on and what’s happening to everyone but the devil is in the debt and I saw the devil when I started this game. I had another podcast for this week but it can wait and go in the queue so I can take a vacation someday.

As a result they will read and/or believe anyone who starts off their unproven solution by saying the words Secret, Forbidden or Conspiracy in front of it. Even though you can build a bomb from google they still think they can’t find out how to make money in business. Since it’s a mystery most of these people think they have to damn near go on a spiritual quest or learn hieroglyphics in order to decode the true meaning of money. How to make money and get wealthy isn’t a mystery its really that cats don’t research the game for theirselves. They never get on the road to building so in essence they are defeating theirselves. OK that’s a whole lot of jawjacking enjoy the podcast… Reading time: 1 – 2 minutes Most people believe there is a secret, forbidden lair and a conspiracy stopping them from getting rich.
