Turns out I did over a million dollars last year :)

Good work Josiah! Is that million dollar mark for TSV, Total Sales Volume? If so, I am above the million mark too in US dollars, else I am way below as for Net profit.

Keep up the good work! You sure must be doing something right too!

Take care,

A million dollars is fantastic but not if you have to spend $999,999 to get there, ha ha. I am sure you are just talking about revenue but I'd venture a guess that your profit is still a pretty healthy amount, as well.

Yes, anything truly is possible. Takes hard work, persistence, skill and doing the right things. Also, a little luck doesn't hurt but that's the 10% or 1% part, however you look at it.

Thanks

Wish I had that problem

But a great thought on that is "Tax Strategies for Successful Warriors".
You'd need an international team of tax strategists, though...

Congratulations!

And thanks for sharing. It certainly pumps us up.

So, it turns out that the "Secret Strategy" is -

TAKE ACTION &
TAKE ACTION FAST

Or in other words -

JUST DO IT NOW

So yeah, it IS possible

If there's ONE single thing that I'd attribute it to...

It's simply this...

As soon as you learn something or get an idea for something implement
it INSTANTLY (or at least within the week)

DON'T piss around.

Don't put it off 'till next week.

Don't say "I'll get around to it".

I always heard people say it... and every still does say it... but I never
really did it... in actually doing it you really do see how money comes to
those who are fast to implement and take action.

It works.

That's it I guess.

Happy Australia day!

Josiah

Congratulations, Josiah! You really hit the nail on the head when you mentioned about speed of implementation. You really can't make any money in IM if you don't take action and implement things.

Therefore, the more ideas and techniques you implement rapidly, then the more money you'll make in general - you're undeniable proof of this theory at work.

if you're generating a lot of income, spend the money to
bring in a good tax guy... you'd be surprised at how much
you can actually avoid... LEGALLY of course!

I think it is fantastic.

And the hidden lesson here? Take a look at the join date. Obvious that you have been doing this for a number of years. That alone would indicate that you have build a solid business for a solid number of years with a solid income climbing throughout those years.

Notice the word 'solid'? IM is not a fly-by-night proposition, unless you are on the scam!

For those statements regarding the taxes.

Would you rather make $25,000.00 and pay 5% taxes, netting $23750.00. (intentional small font)

OR

Gross $1.5 million with 50% taxes, netting $750,000.00.

Yea, me too!

Well, those are certainly respectfull figures here and we all do know that it takes a good portion of work to break the first sale, then the $500 barrier, the $1k a day barrier and finally the 1mil a year (I'll keep dreaming).

I have deep respect to whom reaches such a task, well done.

And for the IM'ers who are having pain to pay taxes. I pay 0% over my sistem, yep, nada.

I live in Brasil and my bank is in Switzerland. I found a tax free zone :-)

This made me thinking if I should open the IMB (Internet Marketers Bank) and manage your sales charging 5% for it. Limited to 10 clients only, minimum 500K a year in sales commissions, bank and transfer expenses not included.

You stay with 95% less expenses - I stay with 5% net- a good deal for both.

The one who makes a million a year, save yourself a few hundred grands isn't a bad thing I guess.
