My story - Part 2 of 5
From unbelievable high success to losing everything and making a comeback
Getting to the top in your field is a great achievement. Staying on top is a whole di�erent story. Sometimes people rise to the top and think that they have made it. But then some event happens and they fall back down again.
The same thing happened to me. In only 2 ½ years I became a self-made millionaire. I took my company public in the stock market and it was valued at over $300 million. I had built a worldwide organization and over 60 people were working for me. The stock price of my company went from $0.27 to $3.50 and all of my investors made money. Everybody loved me and I was the new rising star in the investment world. People looked up to me and I felt on top of the world. But then something happened.
I had trusted the wrong people and gave away too much control over shares and accounts. The company’s stock price fell down to nothing because stock promoters had worked against me and they killed the company’s share price.
Everybody blamed me for that failure. It was not my direct doing that lead to that failure. I didn’t do what I was accused of doing but I was in charge and therefore everybody pointed fingers at me.
Over $40 million of investor’s money got lost and everyone hated me. They called me a cheater and a fraud and even people from my inner circle turned against me. I had never done anything illegal and that is why there were no legal consequences. But some people attacked me in the worst possible way. I got death threats and my reputation was destroyed on the Internet because some cowards used fake names to write badly about me.
During that time I fell into a depression, gained weight and lost all my money. I started drinking and my health su�ered a lot. I was a broken man. I lost almost all of my friends and my life turned really bad.
I was devastated because I always had good intentions and the worst part was not that the money was lost but because people that I really liked hurt me the most. It took me years to recover from it emotionally. It also took a long time to find myself again and recover financially.
It was really unbelievable. At one point in my life I made over $100,000 per month and was a multi-millionaire, drove a Porsche and owned several homes. And just a few years later I was broke, in debt and at one point I had to live with a friend for 3 months because I couldn’t a�ord my rent anymore.
Coming back from this was really my biggest achievement. Becoming a millionaire in 2 ½ years was also unbelievable but recovering from it was just as di�cult if not more di�cult.
Today, I have worked through everything emotionally and I am much wiser and stronger than before. I built myself back financially and my business life is back on top. I got divorced and remarried and I have four children, which really is the greatest wealth on earth. I am living my dream. I moved from cold Switzerland to sunny California and I am doing what I love.
Today, I can definitely say that I am a very happy person but I certainly had periods of sadness and depression. But those are the things that make life a more interesting story. When someone had to struggle and overcome obstacles is when the story of your life becomes interesting.
The struggle you are in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.
Success is never an accident and I know exactly what it takes. I also know how it feels to be at the bottom, to be broke and depressed. Luckily, I have found a way to get myself out of that hole and get back on top. In this program I would like to share my lessons, experiences and insights with you.
What can I teach you…?
• In 2 ½ years I was able to raise over $40 million from investors to fund my projects. I am happy to educate you on how I did it and I will also give you the technical knowledge.
• My company was valued at over $300 million in the stock market and as the main shareholder I owned over $123 million in stocks. How do you build a company, get it listed in the stock market and then create wealth for many people (including yourself)?
• This is also the story of how I helped my partner who was $300,000 in debt to get rid of it in 2 years and making $50,000 per month and how I gave a house wife and telemarketer for vacuum cleaners a job and she made over $100,000 per year and bought herself a red sports car.
• But more importantly: It was the lessons that I have learned when everything fell apart and I was broke again to build my life back up again.
• You don’t have to go through all the ups and downs that I had but you can learn it right from the start.
• This program is a no BS program and it not simply motivate you but also enable you with the right knowledge to become successful.

I don’t have all the answers – I only have my answers.
The lessons that I learned to turn my life around for the second time are much more valuable than making the first million. If you are curious and interested in learning how you can achieve similar financial success, I am happy to share my lessons with you.
Setting new goals and making a comeback
If one dream dies, dream another dream. If you get knocked down, get back up and go again.
Just because something didn't work out your way, or somebody disappointed you that does not change who you are. Just because you are having tough times doesn’t mean that then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life is a fight sometimes. You need to stay positive and hopeful.
Let’s face it: your old plans didn’t work out. So simply set new goals. Don’t beat yourself up over it. You can’t change the past anymore.
You might have set goals that were too high or the timeline was unrealistic. Maybe you just need to give yourself a little bit more time and put yourself under less pressure. But don’t give up. You can still dream and get what you originally wanted from life.
Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step.
We all feel lost from time to time. Life sometimes takes unexpected turns and we find ourselves navigating circumstances not of our choosing. If you are experiencing such a passage, remember that life always has a way of working things out – even when we cannot imagine how in that moment. Trust your soul and life to find a way into the sunshine again. Take the first step by setting new goals and making new plans.

My story - Part 2 of 5
It was necessary for you to learn this lesson
What you get by achieving your goals is not as importantas what you become by achieving your goals.
You needed to learn certain lessons and those lessons were specifically only for you. Other people have other lessons to learn.
If you plan to make a comeback you must realize that everything is a mental game in your mind. You can only succeed if your attitude, mental strength and determination are right. In the end it is always in your head whether you win or lose.
If you expect the world to be fair with you because you are fair, you are fooling yourself. That is like expecting the lion not to eat you because you didn’t eat him.
Life is not fair. That is not what life is all about. Have you ever known someone who is half as smart and talented as you but makes twice the amount of money? Have you ever known anybody is who more beautiful than you and rich at the same time? Have you ever met someone who is better than you in one area despite you having more years of experience?
It doesn’t matter how much better off other people are. They have their own situation and struggles. You have yours. Stop comparing and thinking in terms of “fair”. Do what you have to do even if it is much harder than for other people.
The second time around it is harder but permanent
Believe in yourself and there will come a daywhen others will have no choice but to believe with you.
When we first started making our company presentations to potential investors and fund managers, we were being ridiculed and people looked down at us. They looked at us as if we were crazy and unrealistic dreamers.

But as our organization grew, we started to raise more and more money, people, projects and public attention. All the critics turned and became supporters or even admirers. Eventually, the press started writing articles about our company and then everybody believed it.
Success is the best argument.
If you try to do a comeback and have success again, there will be a lot of people who will try to pull you down emotionally. They laugh at you or they can even be very mean to you. Don’t let them have their pleasure.
People in general are jealous and don’t want you to get ahead. But you know that if you can do it a second time around, you will have figured out the secret formula for success.
You will have realized that it is all in your mind and attitude and that if you stay strong in your head, you can do, have or be anything that you want. No one else has power over you and whatever comments you get to hear or read, have no power or influence unless you let it happen.
Developing a di�erent mentality for success
You have to develop a new mentality and stay positive about making a comeback.
Being away from your area or field helps to put things into perspective.
Frustration, although quite painful at times, is a very positive and essential part of success.
The frustration will help you to make changes of things that you didn’t think were that important. A frustration can be your new driving force in terms of motivation to make it happen.
Sometimes it helps to have a break. During this time you can put things into perspective and focus on what is really important in your life.
You can focus on things that need your attention like family and love. You get time to rethink what happened and then you can better understand what the real reasons were why things didn’t work out like you had hopped the first time around.

Making a comeback
“The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.”
(Jordan Belfort – The real Wolf of Wall Street)
It always seems impossible until it is done. Impossible is not a fact. It is an opinion. When you try to do something big, it is hard to fail completely. So aim high and trust in your own abilities.
Follow your path. You are the only one who can. You will know you are on the right track when things flow easily and there are no sudden stops along the way. Trust your own intuition and enjoy the ride.
There's nothing as exciting as a comeback - seeing someone with dreams,watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.
Making a comeback is one of the most difficult things to do with dignity. If you were once on top you can get back there again. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.
Maybe you believed a lie. Life is different than you imagined. So what! But life can be much better than you would imagine. Go out there and claim it. It is your birthright to be successful!
Self-confidence is the basis for your success – but how do you get it?
The one quality that was mainly responsible for my success was self-confidence. Having the courage to do what you want to do and follow through is the most important quality you need if you want to become successful.
The only reason why you don't have what you want in lifeis because of fear and lack of self-confidence.
Human beings are plagued with doubts about their own abilities and fears about every imaginable thing; especially the unknown. They dwell on their own weaknesses and limitations and they eventually settle for far less than they're really capable of. I will show you how to completely eliminate self-doubt and fear for good. You will accomplish things that you never thought you were capable of.

My story - Part 2 of 5
With greater self-confidence, with an unshakable belief in yourself, nothing will be impossible for you. You'll be truly happy about every part of your life knowing that you have the ability to do whatever it takes to assure your life is EXACTLY the way YOU want it. Your future will be unlimited.
I want you to achieve all of your goals and be confident in every area of your life. I want you to be as successful as humanly possible and live your life to it's full potential.
So many people are living an average life and never live up to their full potential. God has given each one of us a series of talents and abilities and if we don't use them, then our life is wasted.
The problem is that most people have no idea what those talents are and what they should do with their life. Finding out what the purpose of your life is, will change your life forever. In a series of questions and tests you will find out what the answer is. You will develop a specific plan for your life.
Be wild at heart
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive.”
(John Eldredge)
Every man was once a boy. And every little has dreams, big dreams. Those are dreams of being the hero, of beating the bad guys, of doing daring feats and rescuing the damsel in distress.
Every little girl has dreams, too: of being rescued by her prince and swept up into a great adventure, knowing that she is the beauty.
But what happens to those dreams when we grow up? Most people end up bored. They end up living a life that makes them unhappy. You need to rediscover your heart and your passion. You need to get your excitement back. If you are a man, go out there and conquer the world.
Sometimes you have to stop thinking so much and go where your heart takes you.
Hearts are wild creatures – that’s why our ribs are cages.
Norman Meier

My story - Part 2 of 5
What is it that you always wanted to do? What does your heart yearn for? You should be wild at heart and have big dreams. Living your dreams will make you happy.
Overcome the notion that you must be regular. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary.
You are not accidental. The world needs you. Without you, something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it.
You will not regret what you do in life. You will only regret what you didn’t do.
You know all those things you’ve always wanted to do? You should go and DO THEM NOW.
Have the courage to do the things that make you happy. It also takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are. Be yourself and be unique. The right people will appreciate it and the others don’t matter anyway.
How did I make my comeback?
I went from multi-millionaire to being broke. For a long time I struggled emotionally and my overall energy level and belief in my own abilities were at an all-time low.
Today, I own several businesses again and I recovered financially and emotionally. I found myself again and I realized what I am here to do with my life and where my true strengths lie.
I have a beautiful family and life couldn’t be better. I am living my dream and the lessons that I have learned during my hardship made me the person I am today. I became wiser and more experienced.
My businesses are doing well and even though I am not making millions anymore, I generate several hundred thousands of dollars each year.
It is only a question of time until I will reach millionaire status again because the foundation has been laid. But this time, things are much more stable and lasting.
