Do You Have a Future Income Limiter?

Composed in Phoenix, Arizona--

Someone once introduced me at a conference keynote speech as a "word smith"  It's true, I love the English language.  For years, I've subscribed to a service that sends me a new word every day.  It's available at www.Wordsmith.org.

Norm_crosby2 Comedian Norm Crosby used to make up words as part of his funny routine.  Tony Soprano, Archie Bunker and lots of other television characters had a similar fondness for malapropisms

I use words to name Edison House products and programs and I love using words in unique combinations to introduce marketing concepts.  That's how I came up with "predictive dialogue," the art of taking the conversation where you want it to go.

A while back, a friend mentioned a new phrase that immediately captured my imagination.  The phrase was "future income limiter (FIL)."  FIL is featured at a site called Urban Dictionary.com.  My friend was using the phrase to describe the long-term effect of an exposed tattoo.

Al Hatfield, a senior Vice-President at Discount Tire, tells me that an exposed tattoo on a job candidate will keep him from hiring the person to change tires in one of his stores. 

Applicants have been known to get tattoos removed in order to get the job.  Anyway, a tattoo can be a future income limiter. 

Other future income limiters include a lack of confidence and the inability to make a change.  Likewise, a person's inability to think of himself/herself differently can limit future income.

I'm about to announce a unique event for anyone interested in a triple revenue stream.  If you've ever thought about being a speaker, an author or a consultant, this conference will be for you.  And I'm hosting it in Las Vegas

Stay tuned . . . as I roll out this "future income expander."
