In this manner my buddy Wesley Virgin's tale launches with this shocking and controversial VIDEO.
As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he discovered hidden, "mind control" secrets that the government and others used to get everything they want.
These are the exact same SECRETS lots of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.
You've heard that you utilize only 10% of your brain.
Really, that's because most of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.
Maybe that thought has even occurred INSIDE your very own mind... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's mind about 7 years back, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up trash bucket of a car without a license and on his banking card.
"I'm so frustrated with going through life check to check! Why can't I turn myself successful?"
You've been a part of those those conversations, right?
Your success story is waiting to happen. You need to start believing in YOURSELF.
