In this manner my associate Wesley Virgin's adventure begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.
Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get anything they want.
As it turns out, these are the EXACT same methods lots of famous people (especially those who "come out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and successful.
You've heard that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your brainpower is UNTAPPED.
Perhaps this thought has even taken place INSIDE your very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind about seven years back, while riding an unlicensed, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and with $3 in his bank account.
"I'm very fed up with living check to check! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You took part in those types of thoughts, isn't it so?
Your success story is waiting to happen. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.
