  1. In this fashion my associate Wesley Virgin's story begins in this shocking and controversial video.

    You see, Wesley was in the army-and shortly after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "self mind control" secrets that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

    As it turns out, these are the same methods tons of famous people (notably those who "come out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You probably know that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's because the majority of your BRAINPOWER is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps this expression has even taken place INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head seven years ago, while driving an unlicensed, trash bucket of a car without a license and in his pocket.

    "I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I become successful?"

    You've taken part in those types of conversations, right?

    Your success story is going to happen. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
