The Strauss Secret
Levi Strauss. John Rockefeller. Both of these legendary billionaires started with nothing and created a legacy that will live forever.
A few folks know that they both had one thing in common ... They utilize what I would like to call "The Strauss Secret"
Let me explain .... In the 1849 California Gold Rush, who do you think made the most money? Well contrary to popular beliefs, it was NOT the gold miners.
The people who made the most money were the traders supplying equipment - picks and shovels, clothes, tents, etc.
This is exactly how Levi Strauss made his fortune, and how denim jeans came about - by providing sturdy pants to miners in the Gold Rush. And That's why I call this secret, "The Strauss Secret."
Key Point: When people are making a frenzied rush for something - whether it be gold or information - an entreprenuer using The Strauss Secret doesn't join the "herd" in their rush. He or She makes their fortune by providing the herd with the tools they need for their quest.
And this is the reason why Levi Strauss made more money than the gold miners: He didn't have the risk they did! and he still made tons of cash whether people found gold or not!
A steady gush of cash came Strauss' way, and the blue jeans in your closet to this day are the legacy of this secret in action.
Like Levi Strauss before him, John Rockefeller used this secret to make his vast fortune from businesses that served the "gold rush" of his time, big oil!
In the early 1900's a frenzied rush for oil was on in America, but John Rockefeller just watched from the sidelines, resisting to the join the herd, and went about things a little differently.
Oil prospecting companies didn't want denim jeans, but they did badly need something else to fuel their "black gold rush". So this is want Rockefeller did:
- He bought woodlands so he could sell millions and millions of barrels to the oil companies
- He invested in railroads to transport the oil to the refineries
In a nutshell, Rockefeller's companies became flushed with cash by "servicing" the actions of the herd, just like Levi Strauss provided denim pants to the gold miners.
Are You Starting to get my point here?
Members here at Wealthy Affiliate can learn how to build and create websites with a marketing niches that services the herd, and use The Strauss Secret to their advantage.
Also, creating a membership site is also another vehicle for utilizing The Strauss Secret - Look what is happening for Kyle and Carson, when you provide a membership site that is providing valuable information and training - you create a residual of unlimited wealth.

In closing, I would like to leave you with this thought:
"The weak are forgotten, The Strong Survive .....But A Legacy is Infinite! Leave your mark and Live Forever"
