If a person believes in God, it follows that he should know or find out the answers to at least the following questions (and live in accordance with them).
-What relationship is there between me and God? Who is He? Who am I?
-Does God Love me?
-Does he speak? To me?
-Does he have a plan for me?
-Was there anything before this life? Did I exist before my birth?
-Where am I from—really?
-Why am I really here on this earth, in this life? What is the meaning of life?
-Will there be anything after this life? Where am I going?
-If there is, then what? Do I need to prepare for it, and how?
-Will there be a Resurrection? What does this mean?
-What about Heaven and Hell? Christ said in his father's kingdom there are many mansions, what does this mean?
-God speaks of Salvation… What is it, and why do I need to be saved? What does it mean to be saved?
-Why did Adam fall? Was this part of God's plan or did Satan mess things up?
-How can I obtain this Salvation?
-Who is Jesus Christ? What did he do and why?
-If Christ died for me and atoned my sins, will there still be a judgement at the end of this life--and why?
-Are the things I do in this life important? Do they have eternal consequences?
-Why does God give commandments?
-What do they do for me? Obviously they should be for my benefit… How?
-Why has God called prophets and apostles? Does he call them now?
-Why did he have them write the scriptures?
-What are the scriptures about? What do the prophets say?
-If God is unchanging… does he call prophets and do they write scripture today?
-Why is a church needed? Where did it come from? Who started it?
-Are all churches right? Or is there just one true church?
-Does it matter?
-If they are all right, then why do they all have such different teachings and beliefs when there is only one Bible and one God?
-To perform God’s work—to speak or act in His name, does one need authority and permission from God?
-If anyone can, then wouldn't there be mass confusion and different teachings—maybe false teachings?
-Is not God a God of order?
-What do I need to do to be happy in this life and after?
-What must I do to fulfill God’s plan and Will concerning me? Is there one?
-How can I or anyone know any of this?
-How can I approach God for help, knowledge or wisdom?
-What happens to people who lived their lives without knowing—or who ignored these things?
-What will happen to me if I learn these things and don’t do them?
-If I make mistakes, can they be fixed and how?
I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is God's Church on the Earth today and that we have, through ancient and modern revelation and scriptures, answers to all of these questions. Here is found the Authority and Priesthood of God to perform His ordinances and act in His holy name. Here, the Church has the same organization as did the original Church under Christ's direction--namely Apostles, Prophets, etc., We have a living Prophet today who holds the keys of the Kingdom as did Peter of old; and, who under the direction of God, leads and guides the Church. We testify that God lives, that He loves us, and that He speaks to us today as He ever has and ever will. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is found the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ--His teachings and His ordinances for the salvation of all mankind.

Wake Up America!!!
So this is the business that I'm in: Nouveau Riche
I have never in my life been so proud to be associated with any organization save only the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! The vision and the purpose of this company is changing lives around the nation! In fact the very principles and values of this company are so aligned with my core beliefs about freedom, politics, education, social and economical issues, personal development, etc. that I can hardly hold it in.
In a time of economic turmoil, escalating consumer and government debt, irresponsibility, selfishness, and sheer apathy about the problems around us; Nouveau Riche is taking a stand--and one that I feel fits hand in hand with my personal--religious beliefs.
Listen to what our president and CEO has to say on the matter:Watch: WAKE UP AMERICA!!! (http://www.newrichnation.com/eyes_on_u.html) about 15 minutes long. (this was made after he returned home from a meeting with the president in the White House about the economic future of America and how to educate Americans on financial literacy and responsibility.) Also read Rich Dad Poor Dad for an eye-opener!
Nouveau Riche teaches people how to solve all of the above problems starting with the individual. It has taught me the way to success in any endeavor, how to change who I am and to start doing the things that will allow me to free myself from debt and secure my future in an uncertain and financially scary world--it hasn't just given me a fish, but has taught me to build a fishing pole, fish, cook, and sell those fish wherever I go and no matter what happens.
Nouveau Riche has basically 3 integral parts:
1. It teaches the importance of being an entrepreneur/starting a business and step by step instructions on how to do it (whatever it may be for you).
2. It teaches you how to invest the profits of your business in tax-sheltered, extremely profitable long-term investments--Real-Estate (whether the market is moving up or down!!!)
3. It gives you the opportunity to start a business as an independent contractor to sell the above education (Direct Sales--Not MLM). This has extremely low risk, low start-up costs, and is very lucrative! This gives you an application to all of the above knowledge: A business that will free your time and not only handsomely support your family on a part-time or full-time basis, but give you the capital to start investing in Real-Estate!
*Above all it gives you a community of like-minded people and a support system to help you in your efforts, problems and in absolutely everything needed to get started and be successful in every aspect (legal, taxes, questions, investments, etc.!
This is not just another opportunity or sales job selling juice or potions or lotions! This is not a hobby to give you a few extra bucks! It's also not a pipe dream--it's a real business with real, rock-solid educational products (taught in a college format and online)! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication, but it's well worth it! You are only as successful as you are able to help other people change their lives too. It's a service business--it's focused on giving, serving and helping others. Nouveau Riche really does have something that could benefit every single person in this country--bar none!
Please go take a look! Check it out! http://www.nouveauriche.com/ or http://www.nouveauworld.blogspot.com/ Do your homework! I guess it might not be for everybody--but I would feel guilty not letting my friends know about this--don't just glance at it either--I would feel horrible if you just shrugged this off--this really could change your life in every aspect possible! It has changed mine and is continuing to do so. I'm only just starting to grasp the power and scope of this business that I got into just for the Real-Estate education which has made me $18,000 in a few months of part-time effort. I've only just started on the business side of it--now that I see the power and I've realized how much time I have wasted.
This is something I can be passionate about! Something that, like my church and missionary work, I can really believe in and fight for!
So far in my life, I've found three things that seem to focus on the same thing but from different aspects--The Church, Ron Paul's revolution for freedom and the constitution and now Nouveau Riche for personal financial and economic freedom and stability and for the time and means to pursue the other two.

Real-Estate Investing
In the last couple of years, I've been discovering the amazing world of Real Estate Investing. It all started with my attending a free 2-day workshop going over different strategies and tax/legal benefits and issues. During that trip I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and played cash flow. The pieces of the puzzle were coming together!
I had been going through the college thing and was soon to get married, and I didn't know for sure what I wanted to do with my life... I had lots of goals, dreams, and interests, but no coherent way of putting it all together. What can you graduate in or where can you find work if your interests and strong points are: Computer Aided Drafting, Russian, Armenia, Philosophy, & Laziness...alas--lol. I had a few ideas: Foreign Service Officer, Translation Jobs, etc. but nothing that I could really see myself doing.
I had always been biased against business majors and people--I thought it was a lame excuse for not knowing what you want to do. But after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad and learning the power of Real-Estate, suddenly I saw the genius of it all.
Here was something that I liked and that I could do and that wouldn't necessarily hog up all my time, yet would still give me enough money--massive and passive--to travel to see my wife's family in Armenia, to live where I want and in the house I'd been developing plans for since my childhood and to retire young and wealthy! And not only that, but I starting have an overwhelming stream of ideas for new, simple and successful businesses... I'll need to build up some capital to achieve them, but I now know how to do it and know that in a few years of hard work, these ideas in my head will be realized.
Since then I've been attending a college for Real-Estate Investing that covers everything from mortgages (really crazy now!), Tax & Estate Planning, Self Directed IRAs, Legal Issues and Entities, Business Set-up and Management, Over 20 Investing Strategies... To say the least--it's been amazing, I can't stop learning! It's fascinating! To think that I'd love college (and in the field I'll end up in too!).
Well enough about that... and if anyone is interested in attending such a college, just let me know and I'll tell you more about it.
But, while I was still trying to figure out and implement what I'd been learning, several deals that would have made me between $30-$60K slipped through my fingers! Ouch! If only I'd have acted faster... But, oh well, I did finally get one--not quite as good though... I'm signing contracts tomorrow to sell it--which will net my partner and I $20,000! A couple months work (a few hours here and there--on the side) And I'd say it was worth it! My father recently retired, and after seeing how easy it was for me, he decided he'll go at it full time to help supplement his meager retirement and cover mounting insurance and medical costs.
The point is, I haven't really been applying myself to this either--and as they say: "If a lazy young kid can do it, imagine what a successful go-getter like yourself could do!" It does take some time and knowledge to find a good deal and not get burned, but really--all around the country, with the way the market is bottoming out, There's never been a better time to buy! 10 years from now I'll have wished that I would have bought twice as many as I'll have--in fact how many of you wish that you would have bought 20 houses 20 years ago, instead of just one... Well and maybe you're not saying that now because you don't live in the oil field, where Real-Estate is still in high demand and fat with equity... but in a few more years...
Let me ask you something, are there getting to be more people or less in the USA? Are they adding more land to the US? Then Real-Estate WILL go up! (and down---then back up) When should we buy stocks? When it's at the top or the bottom of a trough? The bottom, so that when it goes up--so will our earnings. But the thing about stocks is their not real and can disappear or divide or whatever they want, but they call it REAL-Estate for a reason--even if the house burns down, you have the land, even if a bomb craters out the land, you just have land with a depression... Do insurance companies insure your stocks? Do banks lend you 90% of the money you invest in the Stock Market? And do you make your ROI on the 10% you put in or on the 100% invested? Does the IRS let you depreciate your stocks (tax write-off) while they're making you money and appreciating in value? Can you, through your Stock investments quit paying income tax?
Did you know you can buy Real-Estate with your 401k or IRA (or ROTH)--like the little duplex next door...? Then all your income from rent or sales is tax deferred or tax free? Your broker won't let you because he can't, not because you can't. The only things you can't buy with your IRA or 401k are collectibles (cars, wine, cards, etc.), life insurance, or anything prohibited by law.
Also, did you know banks and lenders will give away houses all day long for less than is owed--or forgive debt... Only if you're an investor that knows what he's doing. Banks rely on investors to get non-producing assets off their books because they drastically hurt banks' lending power.
Welcome to the wonderful world of Real-Estate!
