  1. Look at the way my buddy Wesley Virgin's biography begins in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.

    You see, Wesley was in the military-and soon after leaving-he discovered hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.

    As it turns out, these are the same SECRETS many celebrities (especially those who "come out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and famous.

    You've heard that you use less than 10% of your brain.

    That's mostly because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this thought has even taken place INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about seven years back, while riding a non-registered, beat-up garbage bucket of a car with a suspended license and $3.20 on his banking card.

    "I'm so fed up with going through life check to check! When will I finally succeed?"

    You've taken part in those types of conversations, isn't it so?

    Your success story is waiting to start. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
