Just by reading the following inspiring story, I was able to pick out a pattern that you find in many other stories of people overcoming all odds.

See if you can find the following patterns I wrote below. Do you see other patterns I've missed? If so, please share them.

It can be senseless or useless to meet the requirements of the system (traditional thinking)
One doesn't need to feel ruled or defeated by it.
Scholastic accomplishments don’t necessarily mean anything
Poverty need not be an obstacle
Finding the right market for what you are able to offer is key.
A simple idea and being able to reach the market shattered traditional thinking and brought victory over tremendous obstacles (debt and the system)
People come to you instead of you having to go to people (i.e. your phone rings off the hook).
Your reputation (brand) builds as you are able to successfully deliver.
New opportunities (niches) and markets arise as your business grows.
Personal problems (like health) lead to question for solutions, leads to another niche, leads to another market, leads to more business, branding….and the cycle repeats itself.

Besides these lessons and insights, Mike himself gives some excellent inspiring perspectives on material wealth, helping others, money, character, freedom…etc. What do you think?

I have mixed thoughts on his views on the coming economic global crash. I'd be interested in your views of this.

I think you have drawn some excellent conclusions in your ten points!

Natural News is widely referred to online. I have read many of their articles. I belong to a forum that refers to articles of theirs often and the leaders of the forum have been contributing authors of articles.

We are not all as aware of our gifts as this man and though it may take us a little longer due to whatever circumstances we find our life in, I believe we can all achieve success.

Now the rest I would not normally say, but as you asked for our views - I believe that part of his "healthy perspective" comes from his relationship with God. I believe that God would desire that we all be blessed financially so that we can touch His creation for Him just as this man is doing. Will there come a time such as Mike describes? "End times" of devastation? Well I believe the Bible to be true! So yes, I do believe that this will happen, and actually some believe we see it already unfolding! Yet as I do believe the Bible to be true, I believe ( I know) that if we receive Jesus we have absolutely nothing to fear! For when the great devastation takes place we will not be here for it, and even now in these turbulent times if we pray, if we ask, if we believe and receive His Love, He will take care of us! :)
