Well don't say it, then, for starters! It's true, if you say "this is not a get rick quick scheme" people read "this is a get rich quick scheme". If you say "this is a legitimate business opportunity" people read "this is NOT a " well you get the point. I work for a web development consulting company, when I took my job, no one told me it's a legit shop or anything like that. They didn't need to. The only people saying that need to overcome the idea that it's some kind of scheme. You might be the 1 in 1,000,000 exception, but on the web you have about 6 seconds to get people's attention before they leave.
What exactly is it that you do? That's really not clear to me, either from your site or your message. What does being successful mean, or entail? To different people that could mean having lots of money, it could mean having lots of sex, it could mean finding Christ, it could mean doing volunteer work. I'm sure you had a particular, narrow definition in mind when you wrote that, but as a user, it's not clear what that might be. Vague language is really, really bad. Or a turn off.
This raises some red flags. "
"If I were starting over today, I would make my millions in the Network Marketing Industry." quotes from both Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki ." How could this exact same quote be from two completely different people? When a user sees things like that, it lowers the trust they have for the site.
Making people give you their personal info to find out what your business is about is, well, like a racing boat with holes in it. You need to give people a good reason before many of them will be willing to give you their email address and other info.
The photos of you fishing and golfing don't help. At least with me.
The right click killer
really needs to go. I use right clicking to go back, to copy text, occasionally to "Stumble" a page, to see information about it, to look at it in IE instead of FF. Frankly if I wasn't doing a review that was aksed for, I'd leave the site and never come back.
Finally, this and a lot of text like it is what makes people think your site is about a get rich quick scheme

Definately add some colors to the menu backgrounds or page background. Earth tones are the least offensive to the eyes.
