Taking Action versus Accepting Fear 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In my last post, I talked about not taking action. As I am looking at my post, I remember that at one point in my life I probably would have not taken action myself. I would have been consumed with humility and not acted for fear of what others would think if I admitted I had not achieved my goals in life. Well, hogwash! It is a very sad state that I lived in such a non-empowering state, and many people live the same way now. Just think, you have not succeeded (failed), and to choose success you have to admit it to yourself and change what you are doing. Successful people take action and admire others who take action. It takes intestinal fortitude to step out of your box and claim your life. Fear (false evidence appearing real) can totally control your life only if you choose to let it.Fear is the exact opposite of faith but yet they are the same thing. Both are believing in something you can not see. Personally, I choose faith in making my choices and it has proven to be an Read more:Taking

The Power of Word 1970-01-01 00:59:59 As students of the Law of Attraction, we know that what we think about we bring about. But, have we taken a good look at those instantaneous thoughts that sometimes create words of destruction?I am overwhelmed with how powerful this is. Thoughts and words all come from emotion, but there are times when emotion controls not only our words but our thoughts and bring about some very negative results for us. When you are confronted with anything in your life you do not agree with or frustrates or angers you, any fleeting thoughts or words controlled by negative emotion can be extremely damaging to you. These thoughts may be instigated by something you read, something said to you or something you hear on the radio or TV. Unless things directly affect you, why would you waste any emotion on them when emotion is such a powerful force?For example, someone does something you do not like (it happens) and you make comments about it (not necessarily to the person) rant and rave and show emot
Limiting Beliefs - The Greatest Enemy of Success 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Limiting Beliefs - The GreatestEnemy
of Success
: "Inside each of us is a Giant. A giant who has the power, the ability, the authority and the belief to create anything we choose in our lives. But, not everyone has found the giant or even realized that it is there. Why are so many people simply settling for what life has dished out, zombies going from day to day, giving up control to others and just accepting what they get? When you realize the power within, you will never just accept where you are. With this power, you do not buy into the limiting belief of playing life small, a symptom of the limiting beliefs you are harboring inside. Allowing your limiting beliefs to control your outcome in life, totally controlling what you do, who you are and what you have in life. " Read more:Limiting
Manifesting What You Really Want in Life 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Manifesting What You Really Want in Life: "Okay, so you have a problem, a challenge or a real situation that you wish had not appeared, but it did and now what do you do? You are a student of the Law of Attraction and know that you obviously attracted whatever it is into your life. At some point you must take time to evaluate the situation and determine what thoughts, memories, actions and decisions attracted the problem. How do you get through it and to the other side without making things worse?Problems do not go away if you ignore them but you also do not want to give them too much 'energy'. You absolutely must deal with whatever your crisis is before you can let it go. So, how in the world do you take care of a problem, without manifesting more of the same?" Read more:Manifesting
Take Responsibility and Take Action 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I am reminded today by how powerful a simple thing such as taking action can be. I talked with a prospect today who had a huge amount of desire to have the six figure income and the lifestyle that I live. She knew exactly what her life would be like when she doubled and then tripled her income. But it stopped there, she just could not bring herself to take responsibility and to take action. You hear all the top coaches talk about moving from where you are to where you truly want to be. They always say "if you want something you have never had, then you must do something you have never done." So my question is, why is this so hard to understand for people?Your best ideas, thinking and actions get you to a situation where you are not happy with your life. Maybe you do not have enough money or maybe you have no time for your family, whatever the reason, you are where you are based on your thinking and your choices in life.It is not an embarrassment to admit you are not where you wan Read more:Action

Welcome to the New Year 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Here we are, it is finally 2007 and we say so long to 2006. I wish for everyone the prosperity, abundance and fulfillment of their dreams for this New Year.Jerry and I are ready for the New Year. Our preparation for the New Year has become a ritual that we look forward to. Since we live ocean front, we use the ocean to cast out anything unwanted we manifested in our lives. No, we don't throw trash into the ocean, what we do is a cleansing of our inner selves and our souls.We write down anything negative that might have been a part of our lives. Anything that may have held us back from our ultimate goals or things that just sidetracked us a bit. Once we have our list complete, we burn it! Yes, just strike a match and let it burn! We then cast the ashes into the ocean for God to take care of. Since they are things we do not desire, we feel it is best to just turn them over to the one who can handle them best. I think back to when we cast lack out and burned it, never to look ba Read more:Welcome
Baby Boomers Beware 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Yes, I am a baby boomer. People frequently ask me why I have started a business in my mid 50's. What an absurd question that is. My life is just beginning and I want to live it in an extreme way. There are many things I have not yet accomplished, in fact, I have a list of over 100 things yet to do in this life.At age 53, I realized that I had very little to retire on. The attack of 911 wiped out my 401k which I actually see as a blessing now. To think that I would have even considered retiring wtih just a quarter of a million saved. How long would that have lasted?When I started my business, I knew that continuing on the road of the "work world" would do very little at my age to give me the lifestyle I really wanted. Instead, I took the higher road, the road of creating my own life. Looking back, it is the best decision I have ever made (except for marrying my wonderful husband of course).Baby Boomers

It Does Not Take 30 Years to Become a Millionaire 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I was absolutely shocked at this article in CNN Money, explaining how to become a millionaire. The article talks about how to put yourself in a postion to be a millionaire within 30 years! http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/moneymag/ontrack_millionaire/index.htmlThis is the mentality that our Corporate Leaders and Universities are poluting the world with. It is a fact that the majority of Self Made Millionaire
s in North America, became Millionaires in less than 5 years. Misleading people into believing that financial success can only come to an elite few, or those who are willing to save forever, is a tragedy! Maybe we should look at the fact that corporate leaders do not want you to succeed, they want you to remain an employee, therefore having an employee or need mentality. And as for professors, how many millionaire professors do you know? They do not teach success strategies or the economics of making money, and they certainly are not financial success stories themselves as a Read more:Years

Moving Beyond a Challenge 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Moving Beyond a Challenge
: "Life presents us with challenges. A simple but true reality. The obvious question is why some people deal with adversity or challenges, better than others, why some people conquer challenges and others just woefully submit to them, only to wait for the next challenge to come. Is there something underlying here, something that some people have that others do not that allows them to deal with challenges better? How do you handle your challenges? Do you balk in the face of them or do you move through them like a Sherman Tank? Do you relive them over and over or do you forget them once they are resolved? Do they energize you or suck the life out of you? Are you grateful for them or devastated by them? These are important questions that you should evaluate for yourself." Read more:Moving

True, some people are born into circumstances that may be a greater challenge to overcome, but the potential remains the same for everyone."

How I Apply "The Secret" to My Life 1970-01-01 00:59:59 I have had several questions since my post of yesterday about how to apply the principle of "The Secret" into your life. This is a very interesting question, because all the information in the world will not change anything if you do not know how to apply it. For me, once I was introduced to the principles, I immediately attracted into my life a business program that took care of that step for me. The way my business came into my life was so bizarre that the only answer had to be that I "attracted" it at the right time.The product that I represent, has provided me an amazing lifestyle and income is based on these principles. It is a tool that walks you through the process of applying these principles on a day to day business. It allows you to make the changes in your life, your habits, your mindset and your expectations to allow these principles work in your life.I really do not like to use my blog platform to promote my business, that is not the purpose of starting this blog.

The Buck Stops Within - Accept Responsibility for your Success 1970-01-01 00:59:59 The Buck Stops
Within - AcceptResponsibility
for your Success
: "We often hear the famous quote "The Buck Stops Here", but how does that apply to your endeavor to succeed in life and in business?When you get down to the nitty gritty of success in any area, it is everything! First of all, you must accept the fact that wherever you are in business, relationships, spiritual life or health, is a result of the choices you have made in your life. You may not have chosen the specific destination, but the choices you made along the way, have placed you exactly where you are today.We live in a blame society, everyone wants to blame someone else for pretty much everything. This blame trend is actually disintegrating empowerment in people's lives. No one is in control of someone else unless that person allows it to happen. "
JT Chandler » The Seven Secrets of Top Performers 2007-03-03 14:38:00 JT Chandler » The SevenSecrets
of Top Performers
: "Let’s put to rest the fallacy that success, in sales or any profession, is due to luck, chance, and/or hard work. There is nothing further from the truth. Think about it, you and I both know people who work incredibly hard, putting in long hours, they may even have two jobs, but they are not consistently (if ever) successful. Hard work certainly contributes to success, but hard work alone will not make you top-flight in your industry. Is success due, then, to luck or chance?After years of study, in a multitude of industries, I have come to the conclusion that success is an absolute science. In other words, there are exact principles of thought and action that all top performers universally and consistently exhibit. Let’s examine seven of these principles more closely:"
After the Decision - What is the Next Step? 2007-03-05 14:22:00 I have written in many of my articles about the power of making a decision. Having anything you desire requires making a decision to have it. The movie "The Secret" talks about the power of deciding what you want. "Think and Grow Rich", "The Traveler's Gift", "The Science of Getting Rich", "Ask and it is Given", and any other book focusing on manifestations or the Law of Attraction tell us first and foremost you must make a decision to have what you desire.But what happens after you make a decision? In my coaching experience, I hear from many people "well, I made a decision, but nothing happened". Excuse me! What did you EXPECT to happen? Did you expect bags of money to drop on your doorstep after you decided to be rich? Did you expect the man of your dreams to knock on your door after you decided to get married? Did you expect your children to stop being kids when you decided to get more in touch with them?Then I hear, "I made the decision but I just couldn't figure out how to make
