Steve Pohlit, Business and Real Estate Coach, Consultant, Real Estate Investor. Published Author, Professional Speaker
On July 11, 2014 Steve Pohlit interviewed Wayne Ally Root covering the erosion of the American dream especially for the middle class.
Listen in as Steve explores with Wayne the evidence this destruction of the middle class was purposeful which is why he names his newest book The Murder of The Middle Class. You will be shocked at how it all started, to learn about the true unemployment rate, the unsustainable entitlement statistics and more.
Wayne reminds us that nearly half his book is devoted to solutions to save this country. We must first start with the facts of where we are at now no matter how hard they are to face and how disturbing they may be.
Sit back pay attention to a fact filled and energy packed hour with Wayne Allyn Root.

May Your Success Exceed All Your Dreams and Desires
Stop reading the newspapers, watching TV and engaging in conversations with others about negative news headlines. George Ross, Donald Trump’s key attorney and deal closure reminds us that most news is not accurate and at the very least not the complete picture. As importantly, the most immediate item that affects us individually is what we do for ourselves.
Wayne’s Allyn Root coaches his clients on implementing a success plan that is not dependent on an employer. More specifically start your own business. He uses the opportunities for learning marketing and developing a network that is taught by direct sales companies or network marketing companies as a great opportunity to be your own boss, work with other successful people and not have to worry about what an employer will do.
One of the areas of my own business interests is being with an organization that coaches business owners and other interested in successful real estate investing how to move forward and achieve continually increasing performance goals. The theme here is individual responsibility for what happens in your life. Most of us have the resources to move forward and do a lot better than we are doing today. I like the example I heard once where the question was asked “if you had the opportunity to buy a new $100,000 car for $5000 would you be able to figure out how to come up with the $5000? Most everyone said yes. Then why would you ever resist the opportunity to start your own business because you didn’t have a couple thousand dollars you need for basic infrastructure and expenses during the start up period?
Are you unemployed? Are you struggling to make ends meet? Are you unhappy with the work you do? Don’t look outside of yourself for someone to solve these or any other issue. Do you feel you don’t have enough knowledge or education? I just finished a couple days of coaching a person who has three businesses, lives in a million dollar home with a quarter million dollar boat outside. He is a high school graduate. He figured it out. You may know of others like that or read about them.

Bottom line: you are responsible and the only way to solve any situation you don’t prefer in your life is to develop an action plan and then take action.
Intellectual Understanding Does Not Mean You Will Implement
One of my clients this morning told me the number one benefit of the coaching program was keeping them focused on what is important.
In my experience people make a lot of progress during coaching and lose momentum if they interrupt the coaching process. For a Free Coaching Consultation Click Here

Authentic Disclosure
Wayne Allyn Root is my friend. That happened because when I first heard him speak I was in total alignment with what he was saying and I still am. I have hosted more than 18 hours of interviews with Wayne and when he told me about his book I said I would promote it and I am. I am doing this for a friend who I believe in. There is no commission or any other financial incentive for me to do this. I have not yet learned the art of negotiations as taught by my friend George Ross – just kidding. Promoting Wayne’s book is congruent with the principle of the greatest good for the greatest number of people. I am proud and honored to know my friend Wayne Allyn Root
Wayne Allyn Root I started working with Wayne about 18 months ago as the host of a monthly call for those who have subscribed to this program.
During this time I am honored to say we have developed a friendship that has continued to grow. I am grateful for what I have learned. As an example I have revamped my own “positive addictions” program based on his inspiration. I have expanded my awareness of US and global economic conditions and the impact of outrageously stupid governmental policies on people domestically and internationally. I have advanced my own expertise in the area of business success and especially marketing. And there are times when I share an experience that helps Wayne…demonstrating even the best minds and leaders are always open to learning.
1. We need tremendous energy and focus to flourish in a difficult economy and we are in one. How do you develop this energy? Positive Addictions! While I am not able to detail here his positive addictions program I have published a very important article Getting Unstuck In addition I have started a website dedicated to the energy that Wayne is talking about and more. That site is Health Rewards Now
2. Once we know how to fuel the mindset and physical energy required to be relentless in our mission we need to have the daily discipline to fuel our momentum
3. We all need a mentor and coach and since I am a coach if you feel this is self serving so be it. I have a several key mentors and coaches. Wayne is a key mentor of mine.
4. Wayne said each one of his businesses is down significantly from several years ago. What does he do about it? He is passionate about not losing a customer or client and he is equally as passionate about doing more to grow. He was recently appointed as CEO of a a public nutritional company and added that responsibility to his already full agenda. One thing about Wayne …he is passionate about everything he does and always says yes to an opportunity that is synergistic.
5. That is what I can share for now. Well there is one more thing—Romney will win and Wayne has all the reasons why. Like his Facebook page and you will understand. I am very happy that Wayne is so certain and as he says…”if I am wrong God help America”.

Rahm Emanuel cynically said, “You never want a crisis to go to waste.” It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama’s presidency.
Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos — thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.Â
Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of ’83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they’re alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
— Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn’t care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
— Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama’s biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama “spread the wealth around.”
— Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who’s asking for a 51st state? Who’s asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama’s plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
— Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security.
— Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions — including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means.
— Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition.
With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you’ve got the perfect Marxist scheme — all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama.

There is a complete time management and efficiency system I have been developing from the experiences I have working with George Ross (Celebrity Apprentice), Wayne Allyn Root and from my own business experience. I have used several
International Business and Real Estate Investment Coach
labels for this system in coaching clients including the 80:20 Time Management System. This is an idea that developed from working with George who is a major advocate and teacher of the 80:20 rule for achieving extraordinary results.
Why Brain Surgery Time Management
On a call recently I asked the question “do you think brain surgeons leverage their time?” The discussion included the response that since brain surgery is so specialized there is no leverage. I explained that brain surgery may be the best example of optimal leverage. Nearly everything in advance of, during and following brain surgery is done by others. The brain surgeon evaluates the patient and concludes on the procedure only after a huge number of preliminary steps are taken. Then the actual procedure takes place when all the facilities, equipment and support staff are ready. When ready the surgeon uses his or her specialized skill and then turns most of the rest of the process over to support.
Critical Path
What makes the most difference? All the support before, during and after brain surgery is irrelevant without the surgeon using her or his skills and successfully operating. The surgeon is trained to work with all the support for a successful procedure. In business many people do all the steps themselves. This is why I am completely focused on identifying with clients the actions that make the most difference in achieving their business performance goals.
George Ross reminds us that 20% of what we do result in 80% of the income we earn. Wayne Allyn Root advises on a system of positive addictions with focus on actions that are directly related to goal achievement.
The scope of this topic including how to implement Brain Surgery Time Management is much bigger than what can be covered in an article. However, this presents the key foundation points and if you need help then….

Wayne Allyn Rootis one of the most dynamic, charismatic, colorful, passionate, fiery, and outspoken Libertarian-conservative political personalities in America today. He is a best-selling author of 7 books, a FOX News Channel regular guest, and a national media star.
I met Wayne in 2010 and now connect with him at least monthly for an in-depth discussion on restoring the vibrancy of the US, business success and his positive addictions that are the core of his vitality and success.
Wayne’s most recent editorial published in Forbes online (Click Here) is a clearly factual representation on two very important points:
1. The capital gains rate of 15% paid by Mitt Romney is available to everyone
2. The lower the capital gains rate, the greater the incentive to invest.
3. The greater the investment in companies and innovation, the higher the rate of growth in jobs.
In very recent discussions with business owners and entrepreneurs, it has become very clear to me that most do not really understand the fundamentals of capitalism…not communism, not socialism, but capitalism. Join me in help America stand up for capitalism..the right of all to create value through innovation, creativity and hard but fun work. The right to follow the entrepreneurial dream without a huge tax and regulation penalty imposed by a socialistic mission by the government.

The Real Question Is What Is the Solution For You?
Stop reading the newspapers, watching TV and engaging in conversations with co-workers and others about negative news headlines. George Ross, Donald Trump’s key attorney and deal closure reminds us that most news is not credible or at least not the complete picture. As importantly, the most immediate item that affects us individually is what we do for ourselves.
Wayne Allyn Root coaches his clients on implementing a success plan that is not dependent on an employer. More specifically start your own business.

Wayne Allyn Root is the leading candidate for the Presidential nomination by the Libertarian Party in 2012. He is best known today for his energetic outspoken views on individual freedom which means he is very outspoken on the reason for the debt, unemployment, restrictions to business growth and other less than desirable situations the US finds itself in today.
I have the honor of hosting a private monthly call with Wayne. This experience has helped me understand his passionate focus on the opportunity for individuals to become very successful in any economic environment. This was very evident in Wayne’s response to a key question asked during a recent call that I am able to share with you. In summary, the question was about how an individual can make a difference in our society dominated by growing government and debt. Wayne advised us to focus on the opportunities for individual success. He said there are more than 3,000 new millionaires every day in the US. These people are achieving this success by taking action.
The number one action step successful people take is to start their own business. Wayne highlighted a recent article in a major national publication detailing the benefits of network marketing. I spoke of my experience coaching people developing a real estate investment business. Wayne shared a number of examples of his success starting with an idea and relentlessly pursuing the idea. He is relentlessly pursuing at path that will take him to the White House. He has never failed to achieve something he set out to do and this will be no exception.

I stand for getting government out of the way of our livesIt is called Independence Day and we celebrate the day the Declaration of Independence was signed. The leaders of the day formed the foundation of the United States on “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. Our constitution detailed the intent of the scope and responsibility of government and the separation of church and state. This foundation is cause for massive celebration.
In 2011 what are we celebrating and who are we applauding? Our country is being chocked by the size of the government and debt at the Federal and in many cases the state and local level. Can this country cease to exist? Of course it can. History is peppered with evidence of great nations that expired. We have a choice as to how we move forward and it is time to rise up and say the formulas we are using including the leadership in place is clearly not working. Of course we can maintain the same delusional view that all will be fine and someone will figure it out. They haven’t so far except for people like Wayne Allyn Root, Ron Paul and others with similar understanding and experience. The problem is people who do understand, who are leaders, who can reestablish the solid foundation of this country cannot get elected right now. Why is that? Look in the mirror.
How many more years do we have to celebrate Independence Day? Actually I believe what was once Independence is now only recalled in the archives of history. The government is nearly in our face at every turn and wants more. Obama wants to be in control of our lives and those in Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike for the most part want to let him.
Let’s not forget what this country stands for and why people came to America in the first place
What Is The Reality of the Fourth of July Celebration?
Most people in the US view the 4th of July 2011 as an opportunity to take a long weekend as the 4th falls on a Monday. For the next four years the holiday will be extended in the minds of most. “There is no sense starting anything significant now as the holiday is right around the corner”. The notable exceptions are owners of for profit businesses that grant their staff the holiday and then lose sleep with the related loss of revenue. Yes even one day can make a serious difference in cash flow. Many of these same owners are looking at the performance to date and working on strategic adjustments in order to have some measure of success in 2011. The 4th of July in many cases is not any different in terms of work done than any other day. Contrast that with the majority of government employees who are off and likely not thinking about how to do a better job in the second half of the year. Most governments employees are not thinking about saving money or whether their job is even needed. Most are thinking ” I am so happy I have this regular paycheck and benefits.” And we accept this culture in government even though we are footing the bill for it’s cost.
Overtaxing and Not Extending Credit to Small Business Stops The Growth Engine
Business profits are increasingly hard to earn because generally the banks are not lending for expansion or for any business reason and the cost of doing business continues to increase because of increased taxes, regulatory requirements and healthcare. This is a topic for an entire book. For now, understand privately held small businesses are the lifeblood of this economy and our government is restricting their progress.
Most government employees have the day off. Most small business owners shutter at the loss of revenue with any holiday. The cost of government at the federal, state and local level increases the already outrageous level of debt purposely built by elected officials. The federal deficit was a campaign issue elevated by every candidate running against George Busch including Obama. Obama capitalized on his power of persuasion to be elected president even though he had no demonstrated experience to step into that leadership position. He proceeded to appoint other text smart people as his support team and now look at the accelerating mess: higher unemployment, accelerating national , state and local debt, and a rapidly expanding set of rules and regulations that add even more burden to companies that are the lifeblood of our economy. Privately held business that are the source of the majority of job creation in our country are penalized with ever increasing taxes, costs of reporting compliance, a virtual shutdown on the ability to obtain expansion capital in the form of bank loans and more.
The Key Barriers To Job Creation and Economic Growth
Big government, entitlements and extreme regulations …there is nothing productive about that formula and it flies in the face of the intent of the US Constitution.
A government that thinks it can solve economic issues is dangerous as evidence by the results of the recent past. The fact is that most in government have no experience running a profitable business and have a lifetime of being on public payrolls and benefit programs. Did you know that there was no time to read the $800 billion stimulus package that was pushed through by Obama and passed by the Congress. There are many more examples of the absurdity of how we allow our governments to operate.
What Is Action Plan To Fix This Mess?
First step is don’t believe everything you hear or read including this article. Do your own research. I suggest registering with the CATO Institute. I highly recommend Wayne Allyn Root’s book “The Conscience of a Libertarian: Empowering the Citizen Revolution with God, Guns, Gold and Tax Cuts” You may not agree with all the ideas for solving today’s massive issues. However, it will be hard to ignore the facts of the national debt, true unemployment, loss of economic base resulting from the decline in real estate values and the impact of an ever increasingly intrusive government.
Solutions start with clear awareness of the current situation and a clear definition of the intended goal. Most Americans are comatose on the significance of the issue we have in this country and world. Most spend more time analyzing a sports game or murder trial than on our country’s strength or lack thereof. The first step is to wake up and become aware. The second step is to start paying close attention to those leaders who have the value system espoused by our founding fathers and the experience on making the tough decisions that are need to get government out of the way of economic vibrancy. The related action is to get those people elected and through the rest of the bums out…and there are Democrats and Republicans alike who should be thrown out. When taking out the trash, don’t forget the piles at the state and local level.
Be on the sidelines and watching the play or being in the game.
