The term “Luck of the Irish” is not Irish in origin, according to Edward T. O’Donnell, an Associate Professor of History at Holy Cross College and author of “1001 Things Everyone Should Know About Irish American History.”
 
"During the gold and silver rush years in the second half of the 19th century, a number of the most famous and successful miners were of Irish and Irish American birth …
 
“Over time this association of the Irish with mining fortunes led to the expression 'Luck of the Irish.' Of course, it carried with it a certain tone of derision, as if to say, only by sheer luck, as opposed to brains, could these fools succeed."
 
This applies to your finances as well … because no matter how you get rich and pay off your loans … it’s a strategy … and luck has nothing to do with it.
 
Tardus takes the "luck" or wishful thinking out of financial success by creating solid plans and giving coaching advice that helps you create wealth—instead of just hoping to get wealthy someday.

A:  It truly depends on what your goals are!  The Income Snowball is the basis for building your future wealth.  Understanding how and why it works are the most important thing to learn in your first year.  The Income Snowball will work with any income stream that provides monthly cash flow whether it is Peer to Peer lending, Forex, Turn-key Rental Properties, etc. 

     What happens after that depends on your goals and how soon you want to achieve those goals.  Some clients just want to continue working their Snowball and might not have a desire or resources to get into rental properties or other advanced strategies.  That is what the Tardus University is for, to help people keep on track with their Snowball, once they have it going.

     Then, for clients that want to expand and accelerate their Snowball, there is the Money-Wise Pro level.  This is getting into the more strategic strategies like purchasing rental properties for cash, going for not only the additional positive cash flow, but for the added benefits of reducing tax liabilities so you can keep more of your own money!  This level is also where you can take advantage of the professional recommendations from Tycon Properties and look at restructuring your 401Ks and IRAs to free up even more money to accelerate your Snowball!

     The VIP level is where you can totally accelerate your Snowball.  This level is also where you can take advantage of th enew strategies and techniques to accelerate your Snowball! At the VIP level, you will be able to take advantage of special investments and professional strategies recommend by pre-screened financial planners, who will help you take your Income Snowball to the next level. 

     Let me illustrate the differences this way.  The old Tardus America taught people how to pay off a 30 year mortgage in half the time, in fifteen years with a simple sweep account.  With the Income Snowball, you can pay off a 30 year mortgage in five to eight years, cutting the time in half again.  With the VIP level strategies, you are looking at paying off a 30 year mortgage in two to four years!  

     So now that you know what is possible using your Snowball to build your future wealth, it is time to redefine and refocus on what you really want to achieve in life and when.  Your coach is there to help you!  Remember that money is not the end goal, money is just a tool.  What do you really want to achieve in your life if money was not a problem?

By Chuck Kettenring

I was born and raised in Utah.  I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Communications from BYU and a Masters in Management from Touro University International.  I have been married for 37 years to my beautiful wife, Vicki, who is an Early Intervention Developmentalist in the local school district.  We have been blessed with four children and eight grandchildren with two more on the way.  

​I began my military career through the Air Force ROTC at Brigham Young University (BYU) and served as a Special Agent for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI).  After seven years of active duty, we left the Air Force and moved to West Bountiful, Utah where we still reside.  When we returned to Utah I transferred into the Utah Army National Guard and later the Army Reserves.  I served a 12-month combat tour as an intelligence officer in Iraq 2006-2007 training Iraqi Soldiers.  I completed my 32 years of service as a Team Chief at the Army Operations Center at the Pentagon.  I retired from the US Army in Dec 2012 as a Lieutenant Colonel (LTC). 

My financial background began in 1987 as an investigator pursuing Property and Casualty insurance fraud for criminal prosecution for fourteen years as a Senior Special Agent with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB).  In 2003, I started a small company named Freakin Genius LLC that dabbles in real estate and am currently employed as a Wealth Coach (American Dream Rehabilitation Specialist) for Tardus Wealth Strategies.

My main passions in life are my wife, my family and my country!  My new found passion is Tardus.  I became a coach because I found a way to help people. To me, Tardus “IS” the American Dream.  It is the first program that I have found in my life that actually liberates people from the chains of debt and financial oppression. Most of my life there have been times when I had some money, but no time to enjoy it, and there were times when I had time and no money.  Tardus provides the means to have both time and money at the same time!  All you have to do is follow the plan and feed your Snowball!  Every Tardus client is a debt-free millionaire, they just might not know it yet!  My job is simply to help get them there!

I have achieved most of my “life-long” goals but the biggest goal I am now working on, thanks to Tardus, is to financially set up my children, my grand-children and my great-grandchildren for success and freedom in their lives.  Money is just a tool, not the end goal.

I love to travel, cook, sing and to go jogging.  My favorite dish is Roasted Cashews with Curry Chicken over Cous-cous. 
 

It’s that time of year again … time for the 2016 Wealth Revolution Competition!
 
This is your chance to compete with others and pay off $20,000 or more in debts within 6 months … and if you are really committed you can turn your whole life around.  While the competition has already started for some, it’s not too late to join in and see what you can accomplish!
 
Just ask Paul Whisler from Florida, Grand Prize Winner of the 2015 Wealth Revolution Competition …
 
He’s been a superstar member of Tardus Wealth Strategies, attending every seminar and event that he can, doing every piece of homework we give him, and finding unique ways to save money and increase cash flow.
 
Paul says, “All of that effort is paying off in a big way, not just because I get to go to Mexico (for Free!) but because I’m making huge strides in eliminating debt and setting myself and my family up for success."

​Reason #1: The Spirit of Competition
The most impressive and dramatic transformations I've ever seen have come as a result of competition. You can count me as one of them. An organized event with rewards gives people a goal and helps them get moving (and keep moving) and give it their best.
 
Reason #2: Hope and Inspiration
Having inspirational role models moves people from "What's the use; I've tried everything and nothing will ever work for me" to "If they can do it, I can do it."
You’ll see other Tardus members succeeding and paying off massive debts, and you can use them as role models to duplicate their success.
 
Reason #3: The Results of Teamwork
Unlike most financial programs which promise results without effort, the Wealth Revolution Competition is a real-life, hands-on competition that lasts for 6-months as you race to pay off $20,000 or more in debts as you develop passive income opportunities. When you take on these goals with a group of other like-minded individuals, I see firsthand the power of solidarity, commiseration, and shared success.
 
 
Reason #4: The Power of Accountability
Accountability is one of the most powerful motivational forces. You’ll be surrounded with positive people with their own Tardus success stories, stories – and those very people aren’t afraid to ask the big questions because they’ve had to ask and answer for themselves already.  This whole program (not just the competition) really makes you accountable to yourself, your wealth coach, and the group of people just like you striving to pay off debts and retire wealthy!
 
Reason #5: Connecting with Your Emotional Motivators
The Wealth Revolution Competition always stirs up emotions that stimulate you to get up off the couch and start making positive changes to advance yourself toward the future of your dreams - that's a good thing! (In fact, it’s our goal!) Sometimes the emotions aren’t welcome at first but as you work through them, you can see that you are dropping the baggage and false beliefs the “old system” has engrained in you and instead embrace new ideas that lead to prosperity. 

You can still earn bonus points that will put you in the running for amazing prizes. But remember, the competition only lasts 6 months – so you REALLY don’t want to wait any longer to join.
 
We hope these reasons have sparked a fire in you that tells you that you are ready to start building true wealth!
