Yesterday was April 15th, the day that represents the deadline for you and I to deal with our taxes for 2008 and recon with Uncle Sam.

Many folks had to pay, while many folks got a return.

I mailed my taxes on Monday, and when I did, the guy behind the counter at the Post Offices asked if I had to pay, or if I was getting a return.

“I’m paying”, I said, “and that’s a very good thing”.

“You’re right”, he replied, “That is a good thing”.

He then went on to share his philosophy on getting refunds from the IRS.

“If you get a refund, it means that you overpaid on your taxes, the government got to use your munee for the whole year, and they used it tax-free. That’s B.S. in my book”.

I have to admit, he did have a point.

But the government hasn’t been using my munee.

Come April 15th, I always owe, and the amount I owe gets bigger every year.

And just in case you’re wondering, YES, I’m VERY happy about that.

If I owe the IRS more, it means that I made more.

I’m always amazed when I hear people say, “I don’t want to make more income, because I’ll just owe more taxes”.

Every time I hear this, I think to myself, “Are you kidding me”?

Yeah, I owe more, but I also kept more.

I remember being at a seminar several years ago when Bill Phillips was talking about the subject of taxes.

In case you don’t know, Bill used to be the owner of EAS, one of the biggest health supplement companies in the country.

He was also publisher of Muscle Media Magazine, and founder of the Body For Life Contest.

At this seminar, he was talking about his recent tax bill (which was in the millions, as I recall), and how happy he was to pay it.

Why?

Because his personal income (the munee he kept in his pocket) was FAR more than what he owed the IRS.

So…

If you owed Uncle Sam a good chunk of change yesterday, be thankful for that.

It means you’re doing well and your family is provided for.

The only thing you need to do now is ask yourself, “How can I pay more taxes next year, while simultaneously increasing my personal (in my pocket) income”?

And when you do, be sure to have a specific goal in mind.

Do you want to double your income?

Triple your income?

How about 10-times your income?

It’s possible you know.

A good friend of mine has a goal to 10-times his income in 2009, and he’ll do it, that you can be sure of.

For me, the goal isn’t so much to increase my income, although that will DEFINITELY happen.

My biggest goal for 2009 is to reach out to MANY more people so I can connect with them on a deep emotional level and make a long-lasting positive change in their lives.

In the process of doing THIS, my income will naturally go up.

More money will automatically be attracted to me, simply because my goal is to provide MORE value to MORE people.

So…

What’s YOUR big goal for 2009?

I look forward to having a hand in making it happen for you.

Dedicated to your success,
