Life Coach & International Investor Presents Business Building Seminar for Anyone Who Wants To Play To Win™

Entrepreneurs from around the globe will learn highly effective business building strategies from November 3 to 5, 2006 in San Diego, California.

San Diego, CA, October 17, 2006 –- “Play To Win” is a pioneering 3-day course that trains entrepreneurs in the variety of principles and practices that are essential to running and building a highly successful business. Through a series of powerful experiential games, the course teaches the techniques of leadership, teamwork, finance, investing, relationships, and laws of success.

"Give me 3 days and I'll teach you the business skills and strategies to ensure your business will not just succeed but thrive in the next 12 months," said Clinton Swaine, founder of Financial Frontier™ and international seminar leader. Swaine is offering the comprehensive 3-day workshop “Play To Win” at the San Diego Convention Center on November 3, 4, and 5, 2006.

“Play to Win” is an immersion in business wisdom and practical experiences designed to stretch participants beyond previous limits to new frontiers. Taught in the form of games such as Millionaire's Market™ and Entrepreneurial Empire™, aspiring and seasoned entrepreneurs will learn business and team building skills as they play to win.

“Each unique game allows you to see how you react and what you create around you in terms of fundamental success principles,” says Clinton. “We observe the universal principles that when followed lead to inevitable success and when broken cause a trail of devastation, heartbreak, and failure. This event will shatter many previous beliefs and challenge you, push you, and demand more of you than you do of yourself, and at the same time invite you, support you, and nurture your spirit so you consistently live the principles and Play To Win!”

Swaine has been a lifelong entrepreneur and investor who learned through his own successes and failures. He was looking for a way to teach all that he was learning in his own life. So he embarked upon a journey to study the mentors and masters of accelerated learning. He took numerous seminars, read books, and coached with the best of the best. Yet, he found a gap in the education offered for entrepreneurs. That’s when he created Financial Frontier.

“I created my games and courses to fill a need to bridge the gap between the ‘seminar world’ and the ‘real world,’ he says. “This is where I see so many aspiring entrepreneurs and investors get stuck. “Play To Win” captures my vision of making life a game, having fun, and being successful. It also does not mean the other side is going to lose, and hence we can bring in win-win concepts.”

"Education is most effective when it is fun,” said Mark Victor Hansen, co-author Chicken Soup for the Soul series. “Clinton's experiential business simulations are not only a powerful teaching tool, they are a fun educational way to learn business without taking financial risks.”

Some of the keys areas taught within the context of the course include: thinking big, modeling, core values, comfort zone, power of focus, acknowledgment, visioning, and financial integrity. In order to offer event attendees everything they need to succeed in their business, Swaine brings in experts in their field to share their success secrets. Participants can expect to leave the event with a greater experience of what it takes to run a successful business, along with tools they can immediately implement and a network of contacts they can call on to build their success team.

Tax Scams by "Tax Resolution" Firms: The People's Tax Lawyer Publishes New IRS Report

IRS Tax Attorney Kreig Mitchell has published a new report entitled "What You Need to Know to Represent Yourself Before the IRS," in an effort to help taxpayers resolve their tax debts without having to pay thousands of dollars for very basic "help" from "tax resolution" firms.

October 1, 2006 - Denver. Taxpayers are often confronted with the problem of having an IRS tax trouble, but the amount of taxes are not large enough to justify hiring a tax lawyer or even an accountant or an enrolled agent.

There are a number of "tax resolution" firms that purport to help taxpayers resolve their tax debts. Unfortunately many of these "tax professionals" use fear of the IRS and other intimidation tactics to get taxpayers to pay thousands of dollars for very basic help.

Tax Attorney Kreig Mitchell gives this example. He was recently approached by a potential client who had hired one of the large "tax resolution" firms. After looking at the "tax resolution" firms website, the taxpayer had hired this firm to file an offer in compromise with the IRS on his behalf.

Kreig Mitchell went on to explain that the "tax resolution" firm filled out the one page IRS form and submitted it to the IRS, but they did not take the time to advise the client that all of their federal income tax liabilities were fully dischargeable in bankruptcy. The "tax resolution" firm did not take the time to review this clients financial information as the client could have benefited from filing bankruptcy for his other non-tax debts as well.

After looking at the case further, Tax Attorney Kreig Mitchell says that it was apparent that the IRS statute of limitations was about to expire for much of the tax debt that this client owed the IRS. As a result, had the taxpayer not submitted an offer in compromise the IRS would not have been able to collect a penny from the taxpayer -- never.

Once the offer in compromise was submitted, the "tax resolution" firm had completed their contractual obligations. Thus, they refused to speak to the taxpayer from that point on. Mr. Mitchell explains that that was unfortunate because the IRS rejected the "tax resolution" firm's offer in compromise and the IRS seized the taxpayers personal assets. The taxpayer lost nearly all of his meager belongings.

The prices that these "tax resolution" firms charge for their "services" are often well in excess of the prices charged by even the most expensive tax lawyer or CPA.

To help combat these "tax resolution" firm scams, the People's Tax Lawyer decided to release a new report entitled "What You Need to Know to Represent Yourself Before the IRS." Mr. Mitchell says that by reading this report, taxpayers will know more than 99% of the "tax professionals" out there today. A copy of the report can be found at: http://www.irstaxtrouble.com/represent-yourself-before-the-irs.htm.

Financial Advisor in Business of Changing Lives

When properly managed, money has the ability to make our lives better. Just ask Roderick Hausmann as he is in the business of "changing lives."

Wilmington, DE, June 13, 2006 -- As a Primerica Regional Vice President, Roderick's mission is to help families become debt free and financially independent.

According to Roderick, his primary responsibility is to "teach people how money works so they can make informed decisions about how to manage their finances. Once a family understands how money works, it becomes easier for them to pinpoint any problem areas."

This education process begins with Roderick and his advisors meeting with families in their own homes to prepare a free Financial Needs Analysis (FNA). The complimentary Financial Needs Analysis pinpoints exactly:

* what they need to save for retirement and a detailed description of retirement savings
* what strategies to they should consider to consolidate, accelerate and eliminate debt
* what ideas they should consider for properly protecting their family, such as using life insurance and understanding the "Theory of Decreasing Responsibility;" long term care coverage, and legal protection plans
* what families should do to achieve their goals, such as the goal of owning one's home free and clear

With the FNA complete, Roderick is able to offer a number of "customized products and services that are designed to help people protect their income, reduce their debt, and save for both short- and long-term expenses, such as college and retirement."

Perhaps the most rewarding way in which Roderick helps people change their lives is through Primerica's independent business opportunity program. As a Primerica representative, Roderick's advisors have the freedom and flexibility to work as much or as little as they like. Best of all, they maintain control of their income and are encouraged to promote themselves to leadership positions as soon as possible. This flexibility and goal orientation allows Roderick to bring in quality advisors and it no doubt comes though in Roderick's planning work with his clients.

About Roderick Hausmann:

Roderick Hausmann has been with Primerica for over 15 years. He oversees 48 representatives throughout Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland. During those years he has helped many families with their financial needs in the areas of income protection, debt elimination, asset management, and education savings. He is on the Financial Independence Council of Primerica since 2001 and truly loves helping people. This is evidenced by Roderick's continued dedication to serving his clients and Primerica representatives and finding time to answer free financial questions submitted to the MechanicsOfMoney.com website.

If you have financial questions or know of someone that does you should contact Roderick at the address below or look him up on the MechaincsofMoney.com website.

Like David and His Five Stones Clarity Wealth Management a New Advisory Firm Competes against Large Brokerage Firms

Clarity Wealth Management LLC a small registered advisory firm actually provides more safety, technology, advice, customer service, and reporting than large banks or brokerage firms who spend millions of dollars on advertising and, in-turn, may not be putting their clients interests first.

Keller, TX, June 5, 2006 - After eleven years of working as a financial advisor for banks and brokerage firms, I now find myself in a position not unlike David once was. I founded Clarity Wealth Management LLC to provide a safer and more effective financial advisory service for my clients.

Clarity Wealth Management provides true and comprehensive financial planning services, services which brokerage firms are prohibited from and do not provide. The problem is that modern day Goliath's are armed with multibillion dollar advertising budgets, budgets which are employed to create a false impression that these Goliaths provide comprehensive financial planning services.

While these modern-day Goliath's spend their time and resources creating a false perception, smaller financial advisory firms – such as Clarity Wealth Management - focus their efforts on providing higher quality individualized advisory services. We are financial advisors, not merely professional salesmen.

Just like larger brokerage firms, Clarity Wealth Management employs third party custodians to hold and account for our client's assets. For example, Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase Bank do not hold their clients assets directly. Both Bank of America and Chase employ National Financial to hold and account for their clients' assets. Clarity Wealth Management also uses National Financial to custody client assets; however, we are not tied to an exclusive contract. We also have access to other options that might be better suited for particular clients, such as TD Water House or Pershing where access to specialty funds and lower costs are important, as well as in-house reports (report cards) to supplement your regular statements.

Because Clarity Wealth Management employs these third party custodians, clients are not permanently tied to any one financial planner or financial planning firm. Instead, the clients' assets remain with the custodian and clients have the option of simply selecting the financial advisor or firm they want to work with. The large banks and brokerage firms do not offer their clients this option or want them to know that this is a viable option, because the ability to easily switch from an unresponsive and uncaring financial advisor would result in a mass migration of their clients. It was important to me in creating Clarity Wealth Management, that my clients know of and have access to this option.

As a registered investment advisory (RIA) firm, Clarity Wealth Management is held to a higher legal standard than a mere unregistered bank or brokerage firm. Specifically, Clarity Wealth Management has a legal obligation to put its clients' interests first. The large unregistered bank and brokerage firms are not subject to this legal obligation. In fact, the government now requires that these large banks and brokerage firms disclose this fact. Have you noticed these disclosures in your bank or brokerage companies' sales literature? One would need a magnifying glass, a couple of hours, and a legal education to read the fine print. Essentially the fine print states that the large bank and brokerage firms will not give advice and they have the option to put their interests ahead of theirs. Ultimately this means that the larger banks and brokerage firms can only provide sales recommendations and cookie cutter financial plans.

Unlike the large bank and brokerage firms, Clarity Wealth Management is dedicated to taking full advantage of technology. As huge bureaucratic conglomerates, banks and brokerage firms simply cannot be early adopters of technology and, consequently, their clients suffer. With Clarity Wealth Management, someone who has actual experience in providing financial advisor service reviews and selects which technologies to adapt. As a result, Clarity Wealth Management uses one of the finest financial platforms available today.

Contrary to what Goliath wants their clients to believe, they do not provide financial planning services, their clients assets are not safer in their custody, they are not able to work in clients best interest, and they do not allow their clients to benefit from newly emerging technology. Worst of all, they have not been forthcoming in explaining these issues to their clients or to the public. This is why I decided to part company with the bank and brokerage firms.
