“People say it’s all right for you Andrew, you know…… you’ve made a few quid. You know, you’re quite lucky Reynolds.
From an early age, I was programmed to fail. Genetically, I’ve no chance of getting anywhere. I get emails from people saying, “Oh, I’m from working class stock. We’ve never had a business in our family, so there’s no way I’m ever going to be a businessman.”
I’ve been desperately trying to think, “How can I get across to you, my students of the Cash On Demand system, the things that you need to do to change your life?” Hopefully, the things I’m now going to share with you will help you do that…..
In my family, for example, my grandfather on my father’s side used to run a number of businesses.
Any people from Liverpool? Do you know the Liver Building in Liverpool? Huge, great building on the waterfront. My grandfather used to have a company that he owned, that had a cleaning contract for that building. He ran a big cleaning operation in Liverpool.
He went bust! He ended up his days in a little sort of one bedroom retirement flat with no money, living off the state. He was a failed businessperson.
Every single business he tried, went out of business. My grandfather on my mother’s side ran a small building company. He went bust.
My father, God bless him, ran a shop for all the years I was growing up, and never got anywhere. He died in poverty.
I come from a long line of business failures. Therefore, if I follow the logic of all the whiners, I am destined to be a failure.
I believe that when we’re born, we come into this world equipped with every single thing we need to make all our aspirations come true. We are like a blank piece of paper.
Nobody’s got to us yet before we’re born. And yet, once we’re born, they start filling us with all this stuff. We go to school, (I have the greatest respect for teachers,) but we go to school, and they start filling our heads with all this stuff.
Our parents and our grandparents doing the very best they can, feed us stuff based on what they’ve learned in their life. I mean at school, I was taught that success is the result of hard work and sacrifice. At school… I teachers used to say for example; I mean they used to say to me, “Stop dreaming!
Stop dreaming?? Jesus! Take your head out the clouds, son!” They’d say.
That’s the kind of stuff they teach you. These are all bits of the thoughts that go into your head. I was told at school…. they made me write out lines, I will not ask stupid questions. Why the hell not? I will not ask stupid questions??
I mean gradually at school, in your formative years, you gradually start growing up. And they start filling your head with all this stuff. When I went to college for example, because I blagged a place into college and managed just to scrape through to go and learn about business. And looking back on those two years of college, it was the biggest waste of time I’ve ever been to. Because most of the people teaching me were failed business people. The guy that used to teaching me law, wasn’t a successful lawyer.
The guy teaching me economics…. he couldn’t make a quid if his life depended on it. So you’ve got teachers teaching you, and they’ve never done it for themselves.
You go to work, and work colleagues teach you how to do the job, but they teach you based on what they know. You get input from your Dad. I remember, bless him, I came back from America 11 years ago with some video tapes of this guy that I’d seen at a seminar teaching how to make Cash On Demand working from home. I said, “That’s gonna make me a fortune, Dad.” And he said, “Andrew Reynolds….that ain’t gonna work son. That ain’t gonna be very profitable. You want to get a proper job.”
Because it was based on his experience in business. His experience in business was you open a big shop, you take on a lot of overhead, and you just live in poverty.
Yet when I showed him the Cash ON Demand style of running a business, he decided that’s “Not going to be very profitable! You and your bloody big ideas!”
People around you teach you based on what they’ve learned in the past, and they fill your head full of all this toxic nonsense. Because they fill your head full of all this garbage. I have been desperately, desperately over the last year or so, trying to think of a way that I could help people. What sort of gift could I give to people, to help them get rid of this toxic nonsense in their heads?
I’m going to share something with you now which I’ve only shared with a couple of people who have been to my business training academy and paid me up to like, £9,000 to sit in and listen to this stuff. I’m going to share some stuff with you….. I’ve never shared this publicly because it’s quite a private thing. But I’m doing it because I think genuinely it will help you change your life using the Cash On Demand techniques you’ll learn from the course…”
