“In the world you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

If you haven’t read the posts on yesterday’s blog, I recommend you do. It has to do with the trials we as the corporate body of Christ are walking through. I asked you to comment because the enemy of our soul wants us to feel alone… discouraged… fearful. Did I mention feeling very alone? Your comments put the enemy on the run!

Here’s the deal… Jesus told us we would have tribulations. He also promised “he that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” In fact, read Revelation 2 and 3 again. He has much to say about those who overcome. And how could we overcome if there wasn’t something to overcome? This is the moment we are living in right now. This is our opportunity to overcome! Blessed be the name of the Lord forever!

Make no mistake.
Greater trials are ahead for the nations of the world and for us as a people. We are currently in the workout room. Tomorrow we head into battle. (This I say by way of comparison and not to minimize the reality of our current battle.) To win in the battle going forward, I believe we need to be joined with a network of like minded, like hearted individuals who understand the gravity of the hour, the ferocity of the battle and the seriousness of the stakes!

Here is my commitment to you…
In response to the hour we’re in, I am dedicating this next season of my life to pulling together just such a network of people. I will invest heavily of my heart, my time and my finances into raising up a network of people who are called to the battle in the marketplace. I will work full time on their behalf, researching, seeking God and distilling into relevant, actionable intelligence the information and wisdom we need to overcome in the days ahead.

The investment on your part will be embarrassingly modest, but I cannot tread out the grain without eating a little along the way. It will be called the R.A.I.N. Report and it will be delivered to your door, not via email. It’s that important. (We will accommodate international subscribers via either a membership site or PDF delivery for the sake of speed and cost.) Those of you who have purchased the Rainforest Strategy book will get a 50% discount. (The book is foundational to concepts and content going forward.) Details will be following in the very near future.

It is my honor to serve with you!

The Way Our Country Got Into This $700 Billion Dollar Mess Is Not The Way We’ll Get Out Of It!
The Rules Have Changed!
How Will Your Business Survive?

What’s happening on Wall Street is not isolated…

It’s a reflection of the way we as Americans have run our businesses and our lives. The jig’s up. Sure, most of us have not stooped to the levels of corruption and deception now being investigated by the FBI in companies like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG and Lehman Brothers. But too many of us are over extended, weighted down by debt and a slave to a system that is crumbling around us. We are in financial debt, time debt, email debt, relationship debt and the list goes on and on.

But what if God had a business model that could change all that?

Rainforest Strategy is a revolutionary way of approaching life and business that will put you on the fast track to regaining control of your time, your money and your life. Listen. The rainforest is a system… the most productive, diverse and fruitful ecosystem on the planet – despite having limited capital (topsoil) to work with. How it produces so much abundance from relative scarcity – all at the speed of peace – is what every business person needs to know!

According to Zig Ziglar, “business leaders at all levels can benefit from Rainforest Strategy”. Following the strategies contained in this book will allow you to function in a zone where you are no longer the slave, but the master. Where you can acquire products or services of high value without cash and without bartering.

Inside this book you will also discover:
•    The single most important thing that powers the rainforest and helped Wes Cantrell, a Christian service tech go from the shop floor to the top floor to become CEO of Lanier Worldwide, growing it to a $1.5 billion company!
•    The secret every leaf in the rainforest is governed by that will allow you to produce wealth quietly and consistently while maintaining a state of peace.  Without that secret you will always wonder why your growth is limited, why you keep hitting an invisible barrier and why you never reach your goals.
•    The unseen predator that can destroy you and your business when you are most vulnerable and how you can protect yourself from that predator whenever it comes.

Paul tells us in Romans that the hidden things of God are revealed in the created order, that His wisdom and character are embedded in the things He made. Even Solomon understood this and maintained a zoo and spectacular gardens to learn how God does things. Find out why Solomon said, “ it is the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search out a matter” and check out this incredible new book from Michael Q. Pink

My fellow marketplace warriors…
I want to invite a few of you to a special conference call at the end of this week. Let me tell you why and then please let me know if you can make it. As you may know, our mission is to help believers worldwide build successful businesses so they can in turn (with their profits and influence) make a significant and lasting impact on the culture within which we live. How you make that difference is up to you. Helping you succeed in that calling is our privilege and our mission.

A mere 18 months ago…
Our business was dependent on me going out somewhere in the world and doing consulting or training. Product sales were minimal and not much of a focus. The revenues generated through our website were limited to five or six hundred dollars per month. Insignificant. I began applying some of the rainforest lessons to business and it grew substantially. Then we retained on a consulting basis, David Johnson of Epiphany Consulting to really help us establish a long term, reliably growing stream of income using the internet.

Last quarter what used to be less than a couple thousand dollars per quarter, was over $100,000 using the internet. That’s 50-fold increase! Our ranking on search engines has also improved significantly, our number of e-mail subscribers has more than doubled, and many good things are occurring. I know there are many of you who could benefit from his knowledge so I asked him last week if he would be willing to get on a conference call with me and share some of his wisdom and experience with you. He agreed with one stipulation…

He wants to focus his input…
…on folks who have an established business or who are responsible for generating leads or demand for an established enterprise. For example, one of his clients is a specialist in the medical profession who got virtually no business off his website and was skeptical that people would come to him via the internet. But… he was wasting money on ineffective advertising and he knew it. About a year later, over 50% of his patients find him from the internet, due to the help David was able to provide.

David and I have set aside several time slots this Thursday and Friday to discuss specific strategies to help you experience similar results. This is not for everyone, but if you want to grow your business using 21st-century strategies, you are welcome to join us. Register here now so you can be sure to reserve your spot on one of these conference calls. (As always, we are limited on the number of callers we can have on each conference call, so it’s a first-come, first-served basis.)

Warmest regards…

Michael Q. Pink

P.S. Get your calendar out and choose your best meeting time now… these calls will fill up quickly!

“Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the armor of kings, to open before him the two-leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of bronze, and cut asunder the bars of iron: And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by your name, am the God of Israel.” (Isa 45:1-3)

Did you know that God has riches hidden in secret places? And these are riches He is eager for you to possess. Am I saying that God wants you rich? I don’t know what God wants for you with respect to tangible riches. I don’t know your character, your calling or your capabilities. What I do know is that there are great riches hidden in secret places and the kind of riches I am speaking of cannot be seen with the eye.

Take for example the rainforest. People with limited vision see only with their natural eye and cut it down to obtain temporal, tangible riches. They sell the timber and create pasture land for cows. But people with great vision who have spent time in the secret place of God know that God made the systems that make the rainforest the most productive and fruitful system on the planet producing tremendous abundance out of relative scarcity.

In spending time with the Father, they learn the systems. They discover the ways of God. They obtain great wealth of wisdom as they inherit His heart for the created order and in the process they can be trusted with the power that wisdom gives them. It is the unseen riches that produce the visible riches. Most folks chase the visible, corruptible, temporal riches. Wise ones chase the unseen eternal riches and in apprehending them, have everything else they need.
