I have seen many brokers coming into this business with visions of grandeur, thinking to themselves that they will be making millions of dollars within just a few months! And when this doesn’t happen about 2 months later, my phone starts ringing and the call goes something like this. ‘Brother, I have a deal that is almost ready to fund but I’m running a little short on cash now, can you please help me? My wife’s having a baby and we don’t have any diapers or food.’ I’ve seen people get divorced over this business, quit jobs, loose homes, lose respect and more… I see people doing this all the time, and this is what I tell them…

This is my friend Magdaline who has a dream of being a pilot. She is from Sierra Leone, but that's not stopping her!!!

Do whatever it takes!

I would say something like this, ‘When I started this business, after a few dry months, I knew that it wasn’t going to be a walk in the park. So I cut out all my luxuries, spent as little money as possible, and didn’t do much but work- work-work… I had 2 jobs. I have my dream job which is international trade and my support job which is anything that pays the bills. But I didn’t care. I decided that I was going to do whatever it takes to learn International Trade and make it happen! Whatever it takes! And when I’m not working paying the bills, I was learning international trade, building web sites and putting together deals that would fund.’

A Few Words of Advice

1. So my first word of advice is this. Plan to work 2 jobs, NOT one. Support yourself and your loved ones. This business takes time to develop. Many complications can arise. And there is a definite growth process. Don’t go into ‘Hail Mary’ mode. Plan for this to take some time.
2. Pick only one or two products to work on. Only work on products that are related. We work on gold and diamonds, gems and copper cathode since they are all closely related. DON’T BE DISTRACTED WITH EVERY PRODUCT ON THE PLANET.
3. Learn those products and how they work.
   1. Find genuine sellers of products that you like.
      1. Learn everything that you can from them.
      1. Find out their payment methods.
      1. Ask them how to find buyers.
