There have been studies to show that many mental diseases can be traced back to lacks of love and or recognition. Babies cry for it and men have died for it. That’s love and recognition. We all have an inner circle that motivates us when we want to stop. The inner circle encourages us to make our dreams a reality.  They are the fuel in your emotional gas tank.  The people in our inner circle inspire us to be great. So don’t neglect them. Make it as much a part of your business as setting the appointment or making the phone call. Find ways to monitor the love and recognition that you give to your inner circle because when you take care of them, they will take care of you. Make the birthday party, don’t miss the recital, and remember the anniversary. These things and more are the things that the inner circle can see as love and recognition, so give it to them as often as you can. Making money is great but living a great life is priceless. These are secret keys to great wealth.

Make sure that you share your goals with your inner circle.  When you share your goals with them they know how they fit in so that you all have something to work towards. Put that Disney Family vacation on the vision board or on the refrigerator. Make sure that that getaway for two is up there and scheduled in the books. Then you all discuss what needs to be done to make it a reality. Discuss the plan and the work that needs to take place between now and the trip.

Make sure that you have milestones and a timeline for these things to happen. This is not only a good lesson for them but it gets everyone on the same page and makes certain sacrifices easy when you all see the big picture. If you have kids, this is the best way to teach them responsibility and goal setting, and doing what it takes to be successful. This gives them an opportunity to strive to win and see you win. We have found this to be the best lessons for our kids and make the vacations so much more memorable because we all worked together to get there. The rewards of maintaining your inner circles are always far greater than anything that you can ever imagine. Take care of them and they will take care of you. This is taking care of your business.

Finally, make sure that you and your mate do personal development together.  Read books and when you are done, trade.  Discuss good books that help you grow.  Go to personal development workshops and seminars together.  Take them to conventions and conferences with you so that you can continue to learn together and grow together or be endanger of growing apart.  Relationships that do personal development together are strengthened and the bonds are deepened.  Get your children involved in personal development and personal growth.  Remember that you income can only grow to the extent that you do.  Giving your children the enjoyment of learning is priceless.  A formal education will earn them a living, while their informal education will earn them a fortune.

Is FDI the Right Business….

Posted by: larrylewisjr | Comments (60)

When choosing the right business for you, there are a few things that you really should research.   This article just outlines a strong foundation for those that are looking to become entrepreneurs.  Look for Part 2 of this article on choosing the right company.  These four points will give you the basics to analyze any business opportunity.  Having these guidelines met is where you find your greatest chance of success. If you are not familiar with the analysis and evaluation of business concepts, these are some basic things to look for in every company.

According to Tim Sales in “Brilliant Compensation” a company should have the following core features:

1. Huge expanding market
2. A unique and Consumable Product or Service
3. Timing and trends
4. Ability for great leverage


HUGE EXPANDING MARKET – When choosing the right company, choose a company who is targeting a market that is growing.  Observe the industry, the products, and the services that are the company offers and ask yourself is the market expanding or contracting?  What is the evidence to support it? 

FDI Voice  is a part of a 1.3 Trillion Dollar ($1,300,000,000,000) a year telecom industry.  That means that there is over 1 Billion Dollar ($1,000,000,000) a month.  There are 280 Million people with cell phones in the United States alone and billions world wide.  Oprah Winfrey, President Barack Obama and many others are speaking about the dangers of Texting and Driving.  22 States have passed laws against cell phone usage while operating a moving vehicle and all 50 states are expected to have laws over the next 24 months.  FDI Voice is providing the solution to this growing problem and this huge trillion dollar market.


A UNIQUE AND CONSUMABLE PRODUCT OR SERVICE – Find a product that can set you apart from the competition. With so many companies out there today, there are numerous products to choose from.  But if your product has an edge or your company packages a range of different services for its customers, than you should have an advantage and choosing the right company becomes easy. In order to be profitable, the product must be consumed regularly or a monthly fee for services must be charge. This ensures that you will receive compensation for your services.

Telecom services are a necessary utility that people pay for monthly and can not live without.  This fact alone makes it a consumable product that is unconsciously purchased and you can benefit financially every time someone makes a call.  Someone gets from every cell phone bill and home phone bill and that someone should be you.  FDI Voice has the only family and friends plan that pays you.  Lives are being saved with the Hands Free service to allow people to text, check email, reply to email, dial numbers, post to Facebook and many other features all voice activated.  FDI Voice has unique services are highly consumable every month.


TIMING AND TRENDS – Choosing the right company means finding a company that is current with the timing and trends.  More people are dying from texting while driving than drinking and driving.  22 states already have laws on the books requiring them to put their phones down while driving.  Now we all know people that text and use their cell phones while behind the wheel and they are not going to stop.  FDI Voice offers them a solution that allows them to continues to talk, text, email and so much more but it allows them to do it safely and legally.  Soon there will be laws in all 50 state that people must have a Hands Free solution to keep their hands on the wheel and their eyes on the road.  The timing could not be better to take advantage of this trend and FDI Voice is that solution.


ABILITY FOR GREAT LEVERAGE – Working in traditional jobs require you to trade time for money.  This means that you only get paid when you go into work.  The owners of the company leverage your time and money so that they can make more money.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with that model when you are the owner.  FDI Voice has a Multi Level Marketing (MLM) business structure which allows you to gain leverage for yourself and your family.  This allows you to work and get paid for what you do and as you train others to do the same, you will also get paid a portion from the work what they do.  This business model allows you the opportunity to build a residual income that continues to grow long after you stopped working.  Do you want to get paid every month and every week even though you haven’t worked for months or years?  This is leverage.  Isn’t it time you had some…


Choosing the right company can seem overwhelming, but do your research. Look for a one that you see value in.  You want the right company, with the right leadership and the right compensation.  Having these core qualities will help you be successful.  FDI Voice is making its mark in a huge expanding market, with unique consumable products, that allows you to create leverage in this ripe time. 

Good luck with your decision and as always, if you need more information leave your comments here or contact me at larry@larrylewisjr.com or 443-341-0104.

Building Wealth is a Team Sport

Posted by: larrylewisjr | Comments (83)

Building wealth is a team sport, if you don’t believe me, just ask Donald Trump, Russell Simmons, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, or any other wealthy person. All of these people have two very important things in common: 1) they are all wealthy and in the top 10 % of income earners in this country and 2) they all have a team of financial experts consulting them on every financial decision.

Most poor and middle class people don’t have experts or advisors in their corner helping them make financial decisions and that is exactly what keeps them in their situation. They are getting poor advice from their broke friends. Someone told me that if you want to find a way to move out of your community, don’t ask your neighbor.

Many people are brainwashed to believe that they are doing OK financially because they have a house and a car. They believe this because they are comparing themselves to their middleclass friends and don’t even realize that the middle class is a dying breed. Experts are saying that we have about 12 years left before there are only two classes: the ones that do have and the ones that do not. These experts are saying that people making less than $300,000 per year will be facing financial devastation.


Living in the age of information, knowledge is doubling every 18 months. This is known as Moore’s Law. This implies that with the aid of the Internet, the ability and opportunity for building wealth is doubling as well.

In order to do this, you have to gain access to experts and mentors to help you shorten your learning curve. You do not have time to study to be an expert in every field, nor should you want to. People who need to KNOW all the details and DO all the work NEVER create wealth.

Without a team, your system of making money is totally dependent on one person and that’s YOU. This type of thinking traps you in the world of the self-employed and limits the wealth creating potential. My mentors suggest that if your family’s financial success is dependent on the decisions of less than 50 people, you are in BIG trouble and are on the verge of financial devastation.

Understand that this economy taught us that there is no such thing as a Safe and Secure job. There are people getting laid off in Every industry and the more money you make the longer it will take for you to find a job. We all need a wealth team to mentor to us to success.

Our company supplies us that team and more. We have expert CPA’s and Financial Planners, Cash Flow and Real Estate, Credit restoration experts, Debt Elimination systems and experts and most importantly we have an Expert on Mindset and Motivation. Many other business building tools are given to ensure success.

Know that life without experts, and mentors is critical to financial success and business success. Since I’ve consulted true experts, my family and I have been able to enjoy life much more comfortably while our income and investments are steadily increasing. Weather we work or not, we have the ability to maintain our lifestyle. That is financial security and building wealth at its finest and what we are striving for.


Think about money and building wealth as your favorite NFL team. You have someone that throws the ball; you have several people to catch the ball – some for short yards, some just to get you that first down and some that can take it ALL THE WAY; then you have some that do the blocking to protect the quarterback.

You are your own quarterback for your wealth team and you have to get expert coaches to help you get your team working together so that you can make it to the big game.

Now do you have a bunch of guys just running all over the field? Or do you want to have a solid, lean mean, wealth creating machine.

Building wealth is a game that every one is playing weather they realize it or not. The real question is weather you are JUST PLAYING or are you PLAYING TO WIN. If you are not making at least $300,000 and your income is dependent on the decisions of less than 50 people, or if you want to improve your current financial position, you need to contact us today or find another way to get some experts in your corner.

I Love This Clip!

Posted by: larrylewisjr | Comments (1)

Can you believe that people are still asking that question?  Well a friend of mine asked and I had to talk to him and a few points came out that I wanted to share.  The foundation included me being lazy and looking to work myself out of work.  Being the X-Engineer that I am, I’m always looking for more efficient/ lazy ways of doing things.  We can do this with good systems.  In simple terms, I want to do it bigger, faster, and most importantly, with out me having to baby sit.  Great systems allow multi-billion dollar companies like McDonalds to be run with very low skilled and low cost labor while making money.  Every time you go to McDonald’s, the fries are always on the left…that’s the system. 

The internet marketing allows very lazy people to leverage systems to make money.  The internet never sleeps, it never asks for a day off, never has car trouble or any of the traditional excuses that regular employees use.  Every article that you write, every blog that you post is like a little salesperson marketing you and your products or services.  There is software that will allow you to post an article on thousands of sites all over the net.  Imagine writing 1 article of 300 words and having 1200 people read it in 1 week.  That article took you 15 min to write another 15 min to post because you are slow like me J but now you have 1200 chances to make a sale.  There are many store fronts that would love that type of attention.

Now imagine writing articles for 10 hrs this week and producing the same results.  Let’s do the math….2 articles/ hr for 10 hrs will give you 20 new articles/ employees on the internet working hard for you.  Now each employee talks to 1200 potential clients this week.  That means 24,000 new people know you and your business this week.  Now if you did nothing else for the next 4 weeks you would have approximately 100,000 new people looking at your products and services.  Now how long would it take you to find and talk to 100,000 new clients?

This is the power of leverage.  Here you see that 10 hrs of work can easily get your business in front of 100,000 potential clients.  With an ok product you can surely sell to 0.1%.  How would $100 sales this month help your business?  If you are not doing business online, then you are working way too hard.  Get your free online marketing training here.

Home Based Business Advantages

Posted by: larrylewisjr | Comments (5)

Network marketing offers tons of advantages as a home based business opportunity. You really have the ability to have a work at home opportunity. You have the time freedom, unlimited income potential, satisfaction of building a business on your own with the recognition and rewards that come with it. All while strengthening your family relationship.

Network marketing traditionally starts at home with your own network of family and friends. You get exposed to an opportunity and product and get excited about it. Next you make a list of all your family, friends and associates. You call them to expose them to your business with hopes that you have a new partner or customer.

You can expose them to the business a dozen different ways right from your own home. You can make phone calls, have team meetings, home opportunity presentations, computer opportunity presentations, do three way calls, listen to training calls all from the comforts of your own home.

Your family will see you in action and either participates directly or indirectly in your business. This is what strengthens your family relationship. Your family sees you working your home based business and they get excited.

Your family will participate directly by being apart of the team, helping with the meetings, building their own business/team or many other ways. My children help with my business by doing odd jobs putting labels on envelopes and flyers and we pay them for it.

Best of all – its tax deductible. They are learning how to run their own home based business, manage their own money, and the best lessons of all life and business; working together as a family.

Network marketing has truly changed my family into a truly great team. This reason alone had been priceless. My wife decided to join the business after a major event that we attended, not to mention she liked my checks and decided that she wanted her own.

She was already an entrepreneur, but until that event, she never took my business seriously. Now she is helping more people and building an incredible team. I love watching her work the business and grow as a person and grow financially. She is getting great satisfaction from building her own business and all the recognition and rewards that come along with it.

In her previous career as an engineer, she had patents and lead multi-million dollar projects and many other achievements in Corporate America. But for the first time in her life, she is finally getting paid what she is worth! Only in Network Marketing!

In network marketing, you are constantly recognized for your achievements and with every person you help, your pay is directly impacted. Service to many leads to greatness and network marketing allows ordinary people like me, my wife and kids be great by doing the things we were already doing for free. Now we get paid for helping people. That’s Network Marketing.

Success Is No Accident!

Posted by: larrylewisjr | Comments (1)

Success comes from consistent and correct actions.  It is very deliberate and intentional.  You start by feeling it in your heart.  Next you will see it in your actions; finally others will see it in your actions.  Just as riding a bike consists of deliberately, intentional action of pedaling…so does success.  Don’t stop pedaling

What are you doing today to get closer to your dreams?  A dream without any work towards it is called a wish.  You have to see it, say it, and seize it all in the New Year to make it a reality.  Commit to yourself and working to make this year the best year yet.  Everyone needs to take a look at all that they do to put money on the table for their family daily and ask is this all my family is worth or do they deserve more?  What do you think?  Another question we can ask is “Are you getting any better, or is this it?”

If you know God then you know who your father is and that all things are possible.  And not moving forward because of fear shows that there is a lack of faith.  Knowing God is to be fearless in your actions and literally act as if it is already done.  You have an attitude that you don’t allow anything or allow anyone to do stand in your way.  My God is strong and he will continue to help me whenever I help myself.  So when it comes to success…do your part to make it happen….and know that God will do his.
