Social Security  
Social Security




Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn't know this. It's easy to check out, if you don't believe it..
Be sure and show it to your kids. They need a little history lesson on what's what and it doesn't matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are Facts!!!



Our Social Security

Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social
Security (FICA) Program. He promised:

1.) That participation in the Program would be
Completely voluntary,


No longer Voluntary



2.) That the participants would only have to pay
1% of the first $1,400 of their annual
Incomes into the Program,


Now 7.65% (plus Employer pays 7.65%)



3.) That the money the participants elected to put
Into the Program would be deductible from
Their income for tax purposes each year,


No longer tax deductible



4..) That the money the participants put into the
Independent 'Trust Fund' rather than into the
General operating fund, and therefore, would
Only be used to fund the Social Security
Retirement Program, and no other
Government program, and,


Under Johnson the money was moved to


The General Fund and Spend



5..) That the annuity payments to the retirees
Would never be taxed as income.


Under Clinton & Gore


Up to 85% of your Social Security can be Taxed



Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are
Now receiving a Social Security check every month --
And then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of
The money we paid to the Federal government to 'put
Away -- you may be interested in the following:

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- ----

Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the
Independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the
General fund so that Congress could spend it?

A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically
Controlled House and Senate.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --

Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax
Deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?

A: The Democratic Party.

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -----

Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social
Security annuities?

A: The Democratic Party, wit h Al Gore casting the
'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the
Senate, while he was Vice President of the US

------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -

Q: Which Political Party decided to start
Giving
Annuity payments to immigrants?

AND MY FAVORITE:

A: That's right!


Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party.
Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65,
Began to receive Social Security payments! The
Democratic Party gave these payments to them,
Even though they never paid a dime into it!

------------ -- ------------ --------- ----- ------------ --------- ---------

Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!

And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!


If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of
Awareness will be planted and maybe changes will
Evolve. Maybe not, some Democrats are awfully
Sure of what isn't so.

But it's worth a try. How many people can YOU send this to?

Actions speak louder than bumper stickers.


AND CONGRESS GIVES THEMSELVES 100% RETIREMENT FOR ONLY SERVING ONE TERM!!!



A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have.
-Thomas Jefferson

Cute Story 
One elderly couple is visiting another for supper. The two women go into the kitchen for a moment, leaving the men to talk.

One of the men says to the other, "The Mrs. and I went to the nicest restaurant last night."

"Is that right?" the other inquires, "What was it called?"

"That's just it," he replies "I can't recall. Say, what's the name of that red flower that has thorns all over it?"

"A rose?" he responds.

"YEAH, THAT'S IT!" he says energetically.

He then whirls around and yells into the kitchen, "Hey, Rose! What was the name of that restaurant we went to last night!?"

Still Smoking? 
As a kid and until I was in the Army at age 20 I smoked and in fact I smoked a lot, at time 3 packs a day. I quit while I was in the Army of all places and never looked back or wanted to pick it up again.
I know it is a tough habit to quit and of all people my son smokes and it makes me crazy to thing that he picked it up as an adult in today's educated world, knowing the health problems smoking causes. I know harping on him does not help but as a father I can't stop wanting him to take better care of himself.
Well here is a product that come close to not smoking, these blucigs have none of the bad stuff that regular smoking does. If you know someone that you care about that is still smoking get them to try these.

An Honest Review of Blogging To The Bank 2010 
By now I think most people in the world know about blogs.

What most don’t know as there is a great income to be made as well for free.

Rob Benwell is only a mere 24 years old and has already made several million dollars. Early in 2006 he shared his secrets with the world in his highly successful Blogging To The Bank ebook and has made making money online a whole lot easier for everyone.

Just over two years after the success of his first book and over 20,000 copies sold of it and the 2007 2.0 update he is now releasing his third version of Blogging to the Bank helping to wet our appetites and keep the fat bucks rolling in.

I got this book as soon as I could and it covers quite a lot of new information and techniques to adapt your blog to the new demands of the major search engines. Many of the techniques in the old book are now dated and don’t work so well. This is why Blogging To The Bank 2010 is a godsend.

Also this guy doesn’t consider himself to be a “guru”, he’s just a normal guy who wants to help the little guys out. I find this a nice change as he doesn’t talk “down” to you like most of the other guys do. He explains everything in a nice simple manor so everyone can understand.

Saying that when he “goes off on one” it may take a few reads until you get it but when you do it’s just shear genius. Some of the topics in my opinion could have been covered a little more, then others went into great detail. You also get his 5 Blogging Commandments For 2010 that you must follow to give you blogs the greatest success in 2009 and keep them future proofed. This should be printed out and put on the wall of every online marketer without a doubt! His book starts off with market research (so that you are making the most of your time) to building your blogging empire. Everything is covered in this new outing that helps bloggers withtodays online issues regarding making the all mighty search engines happy.

Final Verdict: if you are out there in the blogging world and want to make money the easy way then I highly recommend Blogging To The Bank 2010.

Why work harder than you need to as the new techniques are there ready for you to simply implement.

Free Energy? 
This looks interesting so I thought I would share it with everyone.

Did you know that you could completely eliminate your power bill, by constructing a zero point magnetic power generator?

A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free Energy Generator. It uses magnets, and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion. It runs by itself, indefinitely without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy, which can fully power your home for free. A Perpetual motion device refers to a machine that runs perpetually i.e. indefinitely, and produces a larger amount of energy than it consumes. Thus, it produces free energy indefinitely, runs by itself, without having to need a third-party device or resource to power it.

The free energy devices have been suppressed by the corporate world, because such devices, would allow people to create their own energy for free, which would ultimately shut down the big energy corporations, because people won't need to pay anymore for electricity to fill their pockets.

By constructing the magniwork power generator, you will be able to generate completely free electric energy, meaning , create energy without needing any source of renewable or non-renewable energy. The generator powers itself and creates energy by itself, without requiring solar energy, heat, water, coal or any kind of resource. This generator powers itself and works indefinitely, without stopping, creating a large amount of energy. Here are some of the benefits that Magniwork has:

Works in every home, it requires only a small amount of space

You can eliminate your power bill by 50% or even completely, depending on how you implement the magniwork generator

Works in all condition, can work in extreme hot or cold without any problem

The Material needed to build the magniwork generator is cheap and easily accessible anywhere in the world

We have simplified the process, The steps are easy to follow, even a complete novice would be able to follow them

Contains a bonus chapter about the backgrounds and history of Magniwork


Our easy-to-follow guide will show you how to construct the Magniwork free energy generator, which will run infinitely and create free electric energy. This method has been thoroughly researched, and is currently considered as a possible mean of completely solving the energy crisis. A Magnetic Perpetual Motion Device much like Magniwork refers to a device that works perpetually i.e. indefinitely, and produces more energy than it consumes, which ultimately results in a surplus of electrical energy which can be used to power your home.

Is Fear Holding You Back? 
In order to become more successful, it is important to continually
strive for personal growth. We need to keep pushing ourselves to be
better than the person we were in the past. As time goes by, we
need to keep growing in terms of our mental strength, emotional
strength, abilities and skills.

We all know this. So, what stops most people from actually becoming
stronger and better each day? What stops many of us from becoming
better at making friends, better at learning, better at leadership,
better at public speaking?

I believe the answer is that FEAR is what keeps us within our
comfort zone. We tend to want to keep doing what is comfortable and
certain than to attempt something that is fearful and hence
uncomfortable. As a result, we may never grow and become better.

Well, I am here to tell you that to grow, you have to get yourself
to stretch out of your comfort zone! Do whatever frightens you (but
benefits you). I can assure you that once you take that first step,
it will not seem that fearful anymore. When your brain has realized
that you have not died from it, you will become even stronger as a
result. After you do it a few more times, the fear will not only
disappear, but you may even find it fun. Remember, that whatever
doesn't kill you will make you stronger!

Movies Anyone 
Well this is interesting; I was doing some surfing and came across a site where you can download movies, current full length movies. I did not know there were any sites like this yet. I think this is the future of movies, download them and watch them whenever you want.

I already have Netflix connected to my Xbox so I can watch some movies that they have online but this has a bigger selection of current shows to choose from.

The 100 Day Challenge - Let's Do It 
We all began this year at GO, and all roads lead to a final rendezvous; the difference is what we've done en route. Goals set, actions taken, and results realized determine if you get to call this year a success or not.

With that in mind, I have put together a number of questions for you to consider as you start this New Year:

1. What specific results do you want to achieve this year?
2. What are the constraints that could prevent you from achieving those results?
3. What habits do you need to change to ensure better results?
4. What price are you willing to pay in order to achieve victory?
6. Are you actively pursuing what's most important on a daily basis?
7. What is the biggest unsolved problem in your life that requires a solution?

You must live to answer and honor these questions, because when it comes to beginning the year strong, every day and everything you do counts.

With that in mind, I wanted to share with you an exciting opportunity to start the year strong - it's called the 100 Day Start Fast Challenge!



One thing we all have in common is that we all love a challenge. For some it could be a goal that puts you to the test, an obstacle that says you can't beat me, a belief system that is begging for a breakthrough, or even a mountain that just dares you to climb it.

Whatever it is, you're attitude should be BRING IT ON, as there's nothing quite like a good old fashioned challenge to see what you're made, to push the boundaries and tests your limits as it is ONLY when we overcome these trials that we get to reap the sweetest rewards.

Gary Ryan Blair, otherwise know as The Goals Guy has put together what I believe to be the most comprehensive approach to goal setting and performance enhancement.

The 100 Day Start Fast Challenge is a structured 14-week performance improvement program where challengers compete against themselves to achieve a number of challenging goals and start the year strong.

Telephone Numbers Lookup 
Ya know, once—just once!—I would like to see a phone number on my caller ID that wasn’t some stranger trying to sell me something or some busybody little PTA mom trying to tell me the very best cupcake recipe for the bake sale. Sure, I know I can turn-off my phone, but people will just leave messages on the voicemail. Ugh, the messages! They go on and on and on and on. And recently someone has been calling and just hanging-up. Of course, caller ID gets the number, but if I don’t recognize it, what good does it do? When I call the number, it just rings and rings and rings. Just once, I would like to see that one of my friends had managed to squeeze in a call among all these other characters.
And ya know what really kills me about all these calls? Our number is unlisted!

Even if your number is unlisted, obviously people can find it. Lots of data collectors have used public information to build databases that contain all your information—not just your telephone numbers and address, but also your credit history, your employment, and other personal data. All kinds of marketers by this information from the data brokers, using it for all kinds of reasons.
A reverse telephone number look-up service can help.
For just a small fee, you can block access to these data bases. The reverse telephone number look-up services not only give information; they also can keep it confidential. Using the service’s privacy protection, you can make sure that no one ever can look at your records or use your personal data for any reason.
Check it online today, because your privacy and peace of mind probably are just a few mouseclicks and keystrokes away.

P90X 
A little something different to start the new year off. I have been working out regularly for ever it seems. I went to the Gym with friends for many years and have been a member of the same location and watched it change names and owners several times. The one thing that I must admit is that when working out by myself it has been easy to take it easy and do the same kind of workout over and over. The results have been on and off because of my lack luster effort until I bought P90X.
P90X is a DVD Workout at home program and at first I was skeptical and after I bought it and read the manual and watched the intro video I put it away for almost a year. Then this last year I made a goal to really get in good shape and I started the P90X program. Wow this is a great program to get in the best shape of your life. It is not for someone that has health problems or is really out of shape, if you are fit now and want to get in the best condition ever, try it.

The 100 Day Challenge - Let's Do It 
We all began this year at GO, and all roads lead to a final rendezvous; the difference is what we've done en route. Goals set, actions taken, and results realized determine if you get to call this year a success or not.

September 23rd is an important date as it marks the 100 day countdown of 2009.

With that in mind, I have put together a number of questions for you to consider as you progress toward the finish line and call this year a wrap:

1. What specific results have you achieved so far this year?
2. Are you healthier, wealthier, and wiser?
3. Are you winning, losing or just holding ground?
4. What results are you committed to achieve by the end of the year?
5. How have you grown and what have you learned this year?
6. Is there any unfinished business that needs to be tended to in your life?
7. Are you actively pursuing what's most important on a daily basis?
8. What habits do you need to change to ensure better results?
9. What is the key issue that inhibits your ability to perform at your best?

You must live to answer and honor these questions, because when it comes to the last 100 days of the year, every day and everything you do counts.

Do you want to make 2010 the best year of your life? 
Would you like proven tools that can shut out all this bad news about the economy and transform your life?

Do you want to become debt-free, stop smoking, lose weight, discover the career you can feel passionate about or make the changes that actually last? Do you desire a new outlook on your life?

If you want more than you've ever had before, you'll want to see what I have to share with you. But first let me ask you a candid but very important question:

Of all of the Resolutions that you started off with this past year, which ones did you actually achieve or make some real progress?

- All of them?

- A few?

- Any?

What would THIS year have looked like if you'd really made major progress with all your Resolutions?

What if you achieved one?

How about two? Which ones?

How about ALL of them?

What will this year look like if you do it NOW?

What if you had a clear step-by-step process that produces results? What if I could prove it?

Now I'm not saying your Resolutions or Intentions will magically appear in your life by without effort. It's going to take ACTION on your part!

No, you can't sit on the sofa and manifest a new home, car or CEO position.

If anyone tells you differently, run the other way.

Have you ever noticed when you KNOW you're going in the right direction that everything just seems to fall into place? It's called "FLOW."

That's what I'm talking about, yet most people don't know how to get it or what process it takes to find it. It's elusive. But not when you have guidance. Not when you have the secret to the process.

A process that anyone can use to actually turn their Resolutions into reality.

Does such a process exist? Is there a proven system to help you achieve every goal you desire, one that will help you to make 2010 the best year of your life?

Yes there is. It's called the Got Resolutions Challenge and it can be yours!


Check it out!


The Got Resolutions Challenge is a personal leadership program that provides a step-by-step system for setting and achieving your New Year's Resolutions.

I was recently introduced to this exciting program and came away extremely impressed with the content, delivery, and the overall impact of its message and execution.

If focus, discipline, and accountability were the things that prevented you from achieving your Resolutions in the past, then you must get the "Got Resolutions?" program!

In fact, here's what Best-Selling Author Brian Tracy has to say;

"There is no one better person to start the New Year with than Gary Ryan Blair. His Got Resolutions Challenge will show you how to finally turn your resolutions into reality faster than you ever thought possible!"

Earlier this year you probably set some Goals and Resolutions, made promises to yourself, and ended up with unmet goals and unmet resolutions.

It's not your fault! You, I, and millions of others mean well but we just didn't have the tools...until NOW!

Right now you have the opportunity to create history rather than repeat it.

You're staring down the barrel of an awesome opportunity to begin the year fast, focused, and full of hope. All you have to do is say YES, I'm ready to turn my Resolutions into reality.

It's easy to get started right away.


I'm wishing you a New Year of health, wealth, and happiness.

Just get out there and pursue your resolutions with open arms and believe deeply in your ability to enjoy the rewards of resolutions and dreams achieved.

Now THAT would be an amazing New Year's gift to yourself, wouldn't it?

Happy New Year!

Jeffrey Bangerter

The Dash 
I would just to share a powerful song that I heard recently called
'The Dash'. (There are some strange number in the message, sorry}

www.bigdogconcepts.com go to the bottom of the page.

The 'Dash' was originally a poem written by Linda Ellis and it has
been an inspiration to millions around the world, including myself.

The song makes us realize that the day we complete our journey on
earth, we will have two dates inscribed on our tombstone, the year
of birth and the year of death. In the middle of both these dates,
is a short dash '-'.

This dash represents all that we have done during our time that we
are alive. It makes us reflect how how we have lived our 'dash'.

At the end of the day, we will soon realize that success is not
about what we have (the cars, the houses and the cash we own)...but
who we become as a person and how many people we have touched in
the process.

It reminds me of a movie I watched a few months ago called the
'Bucket List', about two elderly men (played by Jack Nicholson and
Morgan Freeman) who were dying and wanted to fulfill their last
wishes written on a list before they died.

The most touching moment was when Morgan Freeman said to Jack
Nicholson that the way to know if you have truly lived a successful
life is to ask two questions.

Question 1: 'Have you found true joy in your life?'
Question 2: 'Has your life brought joy to others?'

If the answer is yes to both two questions, then you can go in
peace. Something to think about...

As you watch the video, you may want to read the lyrics below. Enjoy
and reflect!

Click to watch the video:
go to the bottom of the page.

"There was a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend.

He read the dates on her tombstone from the beginning...to the end.

He noted first came the date of her birth and spoke the following
date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash
between those years.

For that dash stands for all the time that she spent alive on
earth...
 and only those who loved her know what that little line is
worth.

It matters not, how much we own; the cars....the house...the cash.
What matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash.

So think about this long and hard...are there things you'd like to
change? 
For you never know how much time is left that can still be
re-arranged

If we would just slow down enough to consider what's true and real
and always try to understand the way that others feel. We'd be much
less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people
in our lives like we've never loved before.

So, when your eulogy's being read and your life is being rehashed...
would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your
dash?"

Sincerely,
Jeff

The Dash has been published hundreds of times in books, newspapers, magazines and company newsletters. It has also been read countless times at company meetings, graduations and funerals. In the last three years, Linda has received over one million e-mails thanking her for writing The Dash, and asking the question ... Where can I get a copy?

Impossible is Just a Word 
Everyone, at some point of his or her life, has dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Who hasn't fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Who hasn't dreamed of being the homecoming queen? And how many times have we dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with our relationships?

Often, we dream big dreams and have great aspirations. Unfortunately, our dreams remain just that – dreams. And our aspirations easily collect dust in our attic.

This is a sad turn of events in our life. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self actualization, we get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you know what? Life could be so much better, if only we learned to aim higher.

The most common problem to setting goals is the word impossible. Most people get hung up thinking I can't do this. It's too hard. It's too impossible. No one can do this.

However, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment.

Remember that scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly. Unfortunately for the bumble, bee no one has told it so. So fly it does.

On the other hand, some people suffer from dreaming totally outrageous dreams and not acting on them. The result? Broken dreams, and tattered aspirations.

If you limit yourself with self-doubt, and self-limiting assumptions, you will never be able to break past what you deem impossible. If you reach too far out into the sky without working towards your goal, you will find yourself clinging on to the impossible dream.

Try this exercise. Take a piece of paper and write down some goals in your life. Under one header, list down things ‘you know you can do’. Under another header, write the things ‘you might be able to do.’ And under one more, list the things that that are ‘impossible for you to do.’

Now look at all the headers strive every day to accomplish the goals that are under things ‘you know you can do’. Check them when you are able to accomplish them. As you slowly are able to check all of your goals under that heading, try accomplishing the goals under the other header-the one that reads ‘you might be able to do.’

As of the items you wrote under things I could do are accomplished, you can move the goals that are under things that are ‘impossible for you to do’ to the list of things ‘you might be able to do.’

As you iterate through this process, you will find out that the goals you thought were impossible become easier to accomplish. And the impossible begin to seem possible after all.

You see, the technique here is not to limit your imagination. It is to aim high, and start working towards that goal little by little. However, it also is unwise to set a goal that is truly unrealistic.

Those who just dream towards a goal without working hard end up disappointed and disillusioned.

On the other hand, if you told someone a hundred years ago that it was possible for man to be on the moon, they would laugh at you. If you had told them that you could send mail from here to the other side of the world in a few seconds, they would say you were out of your mind. But, through sheer desire and perseverance, these impossible dreams are now realities.

Thomas Edison once said that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Nothing could be truer. For one to accomplish his or her dreams, there has to be had work and discipline. But take note that that 1% has to be a think-big dream, and not some easily accomplished one.

Ask any gym rat and he or she will tell you that there can be no gains unless you are put out of your comfort zone. Remember the saying, “No pain, no gain”? That is as true as it can be.

So dream on, friend! Don’t get caught up with your perceived limitations. Think big and work hard to attain those dreams. As you step up the ladder of progress, you will just about find out that the impossible has just become a little bit more possible.

Here is a book that will help you realize your dream.

Improved Performance Both Business and Personal 
I long ago discovered an important strategy that has allowed me, and my clients to continually improve performance (personal and
business) every year.

It's called an After Action Review (AAR), and it's all about leveraging knowledge and experience.

To experience consistent growth you need to leverage you past experience for all it's worth. In this lesson, I'll show you how to do it.

To make 2010 the best it can be, you need to perform an AAR and analyze what took place in 2009. You need to identify every nugget of knowledge your past performance offers and leverage it for all it's worth.

Unfortunately the vast majority of people and companies don't learn enough from their mistakes or their accomplishments. It's like everyone is simply plugging along with their heads down, and it's Ground Hog Day all over again.

But, instead of repeating the same day over and again, both companies and individuals seem to repeat the same outlook, approach, and strategies.

You and I both know that no matter how good or bad your results were in 2009 - you can always do better.

Yet, the single biggest key to improving both your performance and your results seems to go ignored by almost everybody. If you want to be at the top of your game you absolutely must review, analyze, and learn from what has already happened.

Seven Steps That Can Change Your Life

There are seven steps in the AAR process, and you must begin implementing the ideas that you are about to generate immediately.

Step 1 Identify Your Three Greatest Accomplishments In 2009?

Even if 2009 was a challenging year for you, odds are if you look close enough there's something somewhere to be proud of.

Step 2 Analyze What You Learned from Each Accomplishment?

Now that you have identified your three greatest accomplishments, go back to each one. This time though identify exactly what you learned or were reminded of by each of them.

Step 3 Identify Your Biggest Disappointments Of 2009?

Practically every company and individual resists analyzing their mistakes. That's a shame because this is where the best learning comes from.

Step 4 Analyze What You Learned from Each Failure or Disappointment?

No matter how great everything in life is going - we all make mistakes. The trick here is to really analyze them, what preceded them, what could you have done differently, and how can you prevent them in the future.

Step 5 Identify How You Limited Yourself and How Can You Stop It?

Were there certain actions you took or didn't take that came back to haunt you?

In order to make sure you don't limit yourself again - you need to bring these self-defeating actions to the surface, confront them, and most importantly determine what you must do differently to make sure you don't make the same mistakes all over again.

Step 6 Pragmatically Review the Information You Have Gathered?

The goal of this exercise is not simply to know yourself and your business better but to actually use the information to make certain 2010 far surpasses 2009.

What are the big takeaways from answering each question? What do you know about yourself or your business that you didn't realize or weren't thinking about?

Obviously, having this list isn't going to do it all, you still need to take this new knowledge and USE IT!

Fortunately, that's what the last question is centered around. And here it is...

Step 7: Use This Information to Astonish Yourself in 2010?

The purpose here is to build in to your schedule, your interactions, your management style or whatever else you've surfaced in the previous questions and build yourself a new better approach.

Ok, now that we've uncovered a lot of useful information, the final step is to incorporate it into a plan for 2010.

If you'll allow me, I'd like to help you make 2010 the best year of your life by introducing you to a very special program that I have been perfecting for many years.

The Personal Strategic Plan

"The Personal Strategic Plan" is a life changing program that will help you to light the fuse on a performance EXPLOSION and personally experience successes you only dream about!

Let me ask you something 
If you were just one step away from reaching your goal of flooding your life with wealth, would you take that step?

How do you know, right now, that you're not?

What a shame it would be to stop making the effort, when just a little bit more would make it all worthwhile.

What a shame it would be to have taken all those steps, only to miss this very last one.

This next step you take may very well be the one that makes all the others count.

You owe it to yourself, and the efforts you've made, to take this step.

Its simple... go to this website and read my entire letter from top to bottom. I promise you - you'll be a changed person for the better.




Warmly,

Jeff


P.S. Don't delay - run to that website now. At some point success is just one step away. Keep going and you'll be there.

P.P.S. There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs.

But, if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a driver called God, you will make it to a place called success. Go to this website right now

I'm going to predict your future for 2010. 
Forgive me in advance if this is rubs a bit too close to the bone.

It's not meant to be offensive, but it is meant to be objective.
(I'll explain in a second.)

1. You will break your resolutions by the end of January.

2. You will make the same amount of money as the average of your last 5 year's total income.

3. You will gain 2 pounds of body fat.

4. You will struggle with the same habits, patterns, and behaviors that you always have.

5. You will get to the end of the year and have made very little progress in your life.

Why do I make these predictions? Well, statistically speaking, that's what will happen to almost everyone.

So, it's a safe bet that the same will happen to you this year. That is, if you don't make some necessary changes and stick to them.

I know ... I know ...

What nerve? Who the heck am I to say such things?

Exactly.

No one can make accurate predictions about an individual. Only about populations.

The fact is, its people who are outside of the "norm" that really do anything significant with their lives.

Are those people made that way?

Is it just the luck of fate or genetics?

I don't think so.

In fact, I'd like to introduce you to someone that has a large volume of evidence that shows that exactly the opposite is true.

The fact is, success "can" be reverse engineered and reproduced.

You don't have to accept what everyone else is getting but you must make a few new choices.

Suppose you decided today - right now - that you're finally making a REAL commitment to turn your dreams into actions... and your goals into achievements.

And suppose you had more fun doing it than you ever imagined!

It can happen... but you've got to take the first bold step.

Is 2010 going to be the year you accomplish all you've dreamed of...forever?

You can do it, and I've found a way that will show you how.

If you'll allow me, I'd like to help you make this the best year of your life by introducing you to a very special program put together by a very special guy.

The program is the Personal Strategic Plan and it was created by one of the brightest strategic thinkers on the planet, Gary Ryan Blair.

Create a Personal Revolution 
How to Create a Personal Revolution

Think of a day, any day in your life. Got one?

Now ask yourself if on that day, if there will NOT be a need for
honesty, integrity, compassion, discipline, goal clarity, good
judgment, or focus.

And the answer is, of course not.

The reality is that there will never be a day of your life that
will not require all of those attributes as well as the feeling and
opportunity for you to improve.

Each and EVERY day offers an opportunity for improvement and each
moment serves as an advance or retreat in the pursuit of your goals.

Let the Revolution Begin

In this message I wanted to talk about the key decision you must
make in order to get your life, career and business on the fast
track of explosive growth.

One thing about successful people is that at some point in their
life, each one has looked in the mirror and decided that once and
for all they were done playing games, they were done settling for
table scraps, they were done standing by idly on the sideline while
other people that they did not perceive as being as bright nor as
talented lived in nicer homes and enjoyed a better quality of life.

It was at that moment that they decided to get serious about being
a mother, father, spouse, boss, teacher, leader or student. All the
great ones have had this conversation.

So, let's talk about you: Have you honestly made the decision to
get serious about your life, to stop blaming others, and to finally
becoming the best that you can possibly be?

It's a simple yes or no answer, one that is clearly demonstrated by
your actions as behavior never lies.

Simply put, your behavior tells the world if you are serious or if
you are just screwing around. So what's the answer?

You can disagree strenuously with the following aggressive
statement, but eventually you WILL come to the understanding that
you have no choice but to accept it as reality.

You will become rich and successful when you get serious about
becoming rich and successful and NOT a second sooner.

Until you decide to become rich and successful by developing a plan
and executing your plan consistently, you will forever remain in
the situation you are in.

Explode Your Performance...Right Now!

If you'll allow me, I'd like to help you to create a personal
revolution and change your life for the better--and I mean MUCH
BETTER by introducing you to a very special program.

The program is called the Personal Strategic Plan and the 2010
version is packed full of so much useful information that you can
apply for immediate benefit.

You need to strategic plan 
What if you ran your life the way the greatest and most successful CEOs in the world run their companies?

Do you think you'd be more successful, more accountable, and much more focused on getting results?

Sound like a "crazy" idea?

Well, it shouldn't and I'd like to show you how.

Imagine for a moment that your life is a business. Your goal should be to get the highest return possible on the investment of yourself in everything you do.

In other words, your time and your energy - mental, emotional, and physical energy - are investments. Your time and energy are your personal equity.

A business wants to maximize how it invests its equity, because in business, everyone knows and understands that equity is limited. We have only so much.

Isn't the same true of your personal time and energy?

So it makes sense then, that you need to strategically plan how your investments are being made, so that you can maximize them to get what you want.

If you'll allow me, I'd like to help you make this the best year of your life by introducing you to a very special program put together by a very special guy.

The program is the Personal Strategic Plan and it was created by one of the brightest strategic thinkers on the planet, Gary Ryan Blair.

I Live The Diamond Principal 
Residing within me are the attributes of precious diamonds,

Like the diamond I am uniquely created,

There is no other diamond quite like me,

I am precious,

I have a sense of worth,

Review of Master Your Mind 
Do you ever wish you had more time, money, or other resources? If only you had all those things, you believe, you could make all your dreams come true. Alas, you don’t, and so, year after year, your dreams stay just that: dreams.

But it doesn’t have to be like that. In his book, Master Your Mind, Adam Khoo argues that all those perceived limitations are just illusions. The fact is, he writes, we all have everything we need to be successful. We just need to learn how to put it to use. And in this book, he teaches exactly how it’s done.

He starts with the premise that we all have basically the same neurological make-up. We all have roughly the same 1,000 billion neurons in our brains. It’s what we make of them that makes the difference.

So how is it that some people are able to accomplish so much with their 1,000 billion nerve cells, and others accomplish zilch? Adam argues that the key to those differences lies in the behaviors and habits that get installed while we grow up. The majority of people are not exactly brought up with a winning mindset. And unfortunately, most of those people never question what they do and never change their habits. It probably never occurs to them that they could. But of course we CAN change habits, behaviors and beliefs by stimulating our brains in the right way and creating new mental patterns.

The technology Adam uses to reprogram the mind is NLP, i.e., Neurolinguistic Programming, which has proven to be highly effective at that task. And after carefully reading it, I found that Master Your Mind is not just another book on NLP, useful as that may be, but it actually goes far beyond that.

First of all, Adam’s Master Your Mind offers a comprehensive, thorough, and easy-to-follow description of the actual techniques that are necessary to accomplish that goal. But it doesn’t stop there. It’s also an extensive workbook that helps the reader to put all those techniques to use right away. Thirdly, it offers a wealth of inspiring examples.

Adam Khoo himself is a case in point. Starting out as an academically weak student at the very bottom of the pile, he used some of those very strategies he teaches here to reprogram himself and turn himself into a top student. Moreover, unlike his fellow students who were satisfied with a normal career path and income come graduation, he set himself the goal to become a millionaire by age 26 – and achieved it.

He started his first business while still in high school, and several more while in college, and he even became a best-selling author with his book on how to become an excellent student. He developed a program called Patterns of Excellence that he used to teach others to repattern their mind to achieve success as well.

So Adam is quite an inspiration indeed. And he provides us with many more inspirational examples throughout the book, from Sylvester Stallone to Richard Branson.

From the outset, Adam urges us to have the right mindset: And one of the key parts of that mindset is planning for success by setting specific goals, developing strategies to achieve those goals, and putting them into action.

Of course, if you do enough challenging things, some of them will not work out as planned, which is something most people call “failure” and try to avoid at all cost. Adam, however, argues that there’s no such thing really. What may seem like failure is just feedback, and that attitude is essential for achieving any goal because paying attention to feedback helps us stay or get back on the right track and accomplish our goals.

He also introduces two more essential ingredients: an empowering belief system, and the right kinds of values. He doesn’t leave it at that, but provides plenty of specifics and work sheets that help his readers to establish those for themselves.

Next, Adam takes away our excuses! He urges us to stop playing the victim. Instead, he shows that taking absolute responsibility for everything that happens in your life is the key to self-empowerment. Which, by the way, does NOT mean blaming yourself. Far from it. Instead, it means that when something doesn’t go according to plan, you ask yourself what YOU can do to turn things around. Whether it’s customers that won’t buy or colleagues that are uncooperative, reclaim your power to change things. And the only person whose actions you really have control over is you.

And so, this is what it means that you can only change what you take responsibility for. If you believe something is out of your control, how could you possibly do something about it?

Adam takes it even further: not only does he challenge his readers to take responsibility for their results, but also for how they feel. This book is not for whiners but for people who are prepared to do serious work on themselves.

And in keeping with that, each chapter features exercises and action questions that guide the reader through that work that will, as the book promises, help them master their mind.

Among the key aspects of Adam’s mind mastery program are beliefs and how to take control of them and turn them into the kind that will get results. He calls them the “tap to our personal potential” and provides evidence that they can even change our biochemistry.

Once again, that section is followed by an extensive workbook section where you can track down any limiting beliefs and change them into empowering ones.

And that’s just for starters. Adam goes on to provide detailed instructions on how to achieve key performance by gaining control of your emotional states. There’s a long section on successful modeling, one of the key concepts of NLP and a key tool for achieving success.

Next, a detailed chapter on how to manage your brain, with how to take control of all the aspects of your perception and imagination, by manipulating its submodalities, along with instructions on associating and disassociating. While I’ve read about these before, I’ve never seen them treated so clearly and in this much detail. Once again, it comes with detailed workbook so you can actually do it and not just read about it.

Of course, the techniques for manipulating submodalities and emotional states serve a purpose, to motivate yourself, to overcome procrastination, to remove intense negative emotions and change them into neutral ones, to change cravings to disgust, and much more.

He even shows how to use the swish pattern technique to change lifelong habits almost instantly, including how to move from hitting the snooze button and going right back to sleep to jumping out of bed with enthusiasm as soon as the alarm goes off.

There’s more, including a detailed section on anchoring, both on setting anchors for desired states of mind, and on removing unwanted anchors, and another section on meaning.

All in all, this is a very comprehensive program on mastering one’s mind, and anyone who does all the exercises can hardly help but feeling profoundly changed.

Any drawbacks? Master Your Mind, with its 364 pages, is really long for an ebook, and it’s been a bit of a pain to read on the small screen of my ibook, what with having to scroll up and down all the time. But it was so worth it that I didn’t mind anymore once I got into it. Besides, if you have a bigger screen, that shouldn’t be an issue anyway. And, of course, you can always print it out.

BUILD YOUR SELF ESTEEM, A STARTER GUIDE TO SELF IMPROVEMENT 
So how do you stay calm, composed and maintain self esteem in a tough environment? Here are some tips you may to consider as a starter guide to self improvement.

Imagine yourself as a Dart Board. Everything and everyone else around you may become Dart Pins, at one point or another. These dart pins will destroy your self esteem and pull you down in ways you won’t even remember. Don’t let them destroy you, or get the best of you. So which dart pins should you avoid?

Dart Pin #1 : Negative Work Environment
Beware of “dog eat dog” theory where everyone else is fighting just to get ahead. This is where non-appreciative people usually thrive. No one will appreciate your contributions even if you miss lunch and dinner, and stay up late. Most of the time you get to work too much without getting help from people concerned. Stay out of this, it will ruin your self esteem. Competition is at stake anywhere. Be healthy enough to compete, but in a healthy competition that is.

Dart Pin #2: Other People’s Behavior
Bulldozers, brown nosers, gossipmongers, whiners, backstabbers, snipers, people walking wounded, controllers, naggers, complainers, exploders, patronizers, sluffers… all these kinds of people will pose bad vibes for your self esteem, as well as to your self improvement scheme.

Dart Pin #3: Changing Environment
You can’t be a green bug on a brown field. Changes challenge our paradigms. It tests our flexibility, adaptability and alters the way we think. Changes will make life difficult for awhile, it may cause stress but it will help us find ways to improve our selves. Change will be there forever, we must be susceptible to it.

Dart Pin #4: Past Experience
It’s okay to cry and say “ouch!” when we experience pain. But don’t let pain transform itself into fear. It might grab you by the tail and swing you around. Treat each failure and mistake as a lesson.

Dart Pin #5: Negative World View
Look at what you’re looking at. Don’t wrap yourself up with all the negativities of the world. In building self esteem, we must learn how to make the best out of worst situations.

Dart Pin #6: Determination Theory
The way you are and your behavioral traits is said to be a mixed end product of your inherited traits (genetics), your upbringing (psychic), and your environmental surroundings such as your spouse, the company, the economy or your circle of friends. You have your own identity. If your father is a failure, it doesn’t mean you have to be a failure too. Learn from other people’s experience, so you’ll never have to encounter the same mistakes.

Sometimes, you may want to wonder if some people are born leaders or positive thinkers. NO. Being positive, and staying positive is a choice. Building self esteem and drawing lines for self improvement is a choice, not a rule or a talent. God wouldn’t come down from heaven and tell you – “George, you may now have the permission to build self esteem and improve your self.”

In life, its hard to stay tough specially when things and people around you keep pulling you down. When we get to the battle field, we should choose the right luggage to bring and armors to use, and pick those that are bullet proof. Life’s options give us arrays of more options. Along the battle, we will get hit and bruised. And wearing a bullet proof armor ideally means ‘self change’. The kind of change which comes from within. Voluntarily. Armor or Self Change changes 3 things: our attitude, our behavior and our way of thinking.

Building self esteem will eventually lead to self improvement if we start to become responsible for who we are, what we have and what we do. Its like a flame that should gradually spread like a brush fire from inside and out. When we develop self esteem, we take control of our mission, values and discipline. Self esteem brings about self improvement, true assessment, and determination. So how do you start putting up the building blocks of self esteem? Be positive. Be contented and happy. Be appreciative. Never miss an opportunity to compliment. A positive way of living will help you build self esteem, your starter guide to self improvement.

and creates a vision for tomorrow."
Melody Beattie

"Be thankful for each new challenge,

Your Beliefs 
What you want in your life will determine your strategies, your actions, and your beliefs will also determine what you will do when you fail. Do you trigger it as feedback or do you give up? You see, your beliefs are like the operating system of your brain.
They determine how we perceive the world and how we respond to what happens. They determine what we will or will not do or what we will or will not try.
The beliefs we have about a person determine how we interact with that person, whether we go and make friends with or avoid that person. The beliefs you have about a kind of food will determine whether you eat that food.
The beliefs you have about the economy will determine the kind of business or career you will pursue. You see, beliefs are one of the single, most important filters that we have, and at any given time, we have about two million bits of information hitting at us per second and it is physically impossible for us to be aware of everything that is happening around us.
So in order for our brain to cope, our mind filters all this information by deleting, distorting, and generalizing all this data into an internal representation of what is actually happening around us. In other words, we do not perceive reality, we perceive a
filtered version of reality.

The Virtue of Patience 
Patience is a divine gift that we give ourselves.

It helps us to encounter adversity and hardships without losing serenity, without becoming irritated or despondent.

It helps us not to be upset or stressed by trivial incidents such as waiting in line or sitting in traffic.

We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world, that is why adversity must be viewed as an opportunity for disciplined patience.

Take a minute and really think about what I am about to share with you 
I have been in the financial services business for 30 years and I have recruited over 6,000 people to do business with me over the years. I have made great money and have traveled all over the world. The only thing is after doing this for all these years it feels like I am on a treadmill and I just have to keep grinding it out every day.
So I have started down a new business path and it is one that requires no special license or talent but it does require desire. The company that I am promoting is an on-line Ecommerce store and it just started in October of 2009 so we are on the ground floor.
So what is in it for you and why should you care or be interested? The compensation plan of this company rewards recruiting best if you build a down line that is deep not wide, so I will be putting those that I recruit under those that are already on board with me. In a real way me and my partners will be building a down line for you, that does not mean join and do nothing, but it does mean we will building your team because it is in our beat interest to do so.
Remember that I have recruited over 6,000 people in the past and now we are going to use all the things we know to build this, would you like to watch it happen, wonder what happened or help us make it happen?
Take a few minutes and watch this video and then go to www.kachingkachingnow.com and get all the details. My phone number is on the site, you can call and ask questions or Email any questions but once you understand the plan you will understand that those that get in first benefit the most because there is a one line compensation element where you get a piece of every person that joins after you no matter who recruits them.

Don't Give Up 
"Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown." ~ H. Ross Perot

There are two ways to make a significant shift in your life. Either modify your values, or alter what your ideal vision looks like. And if you really want to reinvent your life, commit to a new set of values and repaint a major vision for your life.

Communication 
Make Every Minute Matter...
Are You Sure They Got It?

When you're talking with someone, never assume anything. Take a minute at the end of the conversation to make sure the communication was clear. This will save hours of misunderstandings later.
Eliminate the behaviors that waste your time. Never assume anything.
"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it."~ Lou Holtz

"Bear in mind, if you are going to amount to anything, that your success does not depend upon the brilliance and the impetuosity with which you take hold, but upon the ever lasting and sanctified bull doggedness with which you hang on after you have taken hold. " ~ Dr. A. B. Meldrum


"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. " ~ Vincent Van Gogh


Dream Big -- Lead by Example and Inspire True Commitment...
What Are You Trying To Accomplish?

If you create a shared sense of vision that others also truly value, they'll astound you with their ability and exceed your expectations. They'll do these things, not because they have to, but because they want to.
Dream big, and bring everyone else along with you.
"Skill in the art of communication is crucial to a leader's success. He can accomplish nothing unless he can communicate effectively."~ Norman Allen

Create an Empowering Environment 
The importance of creating an empowering environment by gathering people around you that will empower you on your journey towards your vision. So have you distinguished who these people are in your life? What are the people that always seem to believe in you no matter what? Who are the ones around you that keep saying "well done" or "I know you can do it"?

When you think about it, these people are pretty amazing, right? We may take it for granted sometimes, but the fact that they always back you up, listen to your aspirations without prejudice and maybe dream big with you and make suggestions and/or try to help, is truly extra ordinary and thoughtful. Make an effort to inspire them in return, it is equally important to acknowledge these people around you.

My suggestion therefore is to make sure they know that you appreciate their support and inspiration. Make an effort to tell your partner, mum, friend or whoever inspires you how much it means to you that they believe in you. They will feel appreciated and empowered in return. Keep inspiring each other!

Be Unreasonable 
The reasonable person adapts themselves to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adopt the world to himself. Therefore, all large, significant and lasting progress depends on the unreasonable person.

True success is achieved by the minority of people and requires an unconventional way of thinking.

Great achievements are, have been, and will always be the results of unreasonable people driven by unreasonable expectations and standards.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

YOU ARE "THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE, THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR SOUL," BECAUSE... 
When Henley wrote the prophetic lines, "I am the Master of my Fate, I am the Captain of my Soul," he should have informed us that we are the Masters of our Fate, the Captains of our Souls, because we have the power to control our thoughts.
He should have told us that the ether in which this little earth floats, in which we move and have our being, is a form of energy moving at an inconceivably high rate of vibration, and that the ether is filled with a form of universal power which ADAPTS itself to the nature of the thoughts we hold in our minds; and INFLUENCES us, in natural ways, to transmute our thoughts into their physical quivalent.
If the poet had told us of this great truth, we would know WHY IT IS that we are the Masters of our Fate, the Captains of our Souls. He should have told us, with great emphasis, that this power makes no attempt to discriminate between destructive thoughts and constructive thoughts, that it will urge us to translate into physical reality thoughts of poverty, just as quickly as it will influence us to act
upon thoughts of riches.
He should have told us, too, that our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds, and, by means with which no man is familiar, these "magnets" attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.
He should have told us, that before we can accumulate riches in great
abundance, we must magnetize our minds with intense DESIRE for riches, that we must become "money conscious until the DESIRE for money drives us to create definite plans for acquiring it.
But, being a poet, and not a philosopher, Henley contented himself by stating a great truth in poetic form, leaving those who followed him to interpret the philosophical meaning of his lines.

Lesson from Bob Proctor 
Goals, tenacity, courage and faith have been and always will be
personal qualities required to enjoy any degree of success in your life.
The universe operates in perfect harmony! You are living and working
in a dynamic global marketplace that leaves little room for error. In
future, only those individuals whose beliefs are sound, in harmony with
the laws of the universe and have been integrated with their behavior,
will emerge as real winners.
Praxis Power
Praxis has the potential to cause wonderful things to happen in many
areas of your life. Praxis is a word that, until now, could be found in
the vocabulary of very few people. What the airplane was to travel,
what email is to communication, likewise Praxis will become to human
development.
Praxis is the integration of belief with behavior. When you take time
to digest its meaning, you’ll realize you’re working with a huge idea.
Praxis describes the mental-physical state a person is in which causes
them to get the results they are getting. A deep understanding of this
word will put you in the position to achieve any result you choose.
Is possibility, power and profit within your reach? Absolutely! The
position you find yourself in today is without precedent. All of the
preceding generations put together, would have never experienced the
changes you have in your short lifetime.
Dr. Christopher Hegarty, an international authority on how to adapt to
the tremendous changes taking place tells us, “You can no longer look
to the past in an attempt to predict your future. A large part of the
present is obsolete and, for most people, much of the future is beyond
comprehension.” He also mentions that this is the most exciting time
in all of human history to be alive, if you have the proper information.
Today, success has become a subject … one that can be studied,
understood and enjoyed by anyone. In the past, success was perceived
by many as something that was inherited; a lifestyle a very select
minority enjoyed. Successful people were generally viewed as being
lucky. The beautiful truth is that successful people are not now, nor
ever have been, lucky. This is an orderly universe of which you and I
are a part, and that order, which is an expression of “Divine Law,”
leaves no room for luck.

I listen to Bob Proctor every morning on his Six Minutes to Success program, today it was about Commitment to Character.

How much do you want what you want? 
A young man asked Socrates how he could get wisdom. Socrates replied, “Come with me.” He took the lad to a river, pushed the boy’s head under the water, held it there until the boy was gasping for air, then relaxed and released his head. When the boy regained his composure, he asked him, “What did you desire most when you were under water?”
“I wanted air,” said the boy.
Socrates said to him, “When you want wisdom as much as you wanted air when you were immersed in the water, you will receive it.”
Likewise, when you really have an intense desire to over-come any block in your life, and you come to a clear-cut decision that there is a way out, and that is the course you wish to follow, then victory and triumph are assured.
If you really want peace of mind and inner calm, you will get it. Regardless of how unjustly you have been treated, or how unfair the boss has been, or what a mean scoundrel some-one has proved to be, all this makes no difference to you when you awaken to your mental and spiritual powers. You know what you want, and you will definitely refuse to let the thieves (thoughts) of hatred, anger, hostility, and ill will rob you of peace, harmony, health, and happiness. You cease to become upset by people, conditions, news, and events by identifying your thoughts immediately with your aim in life. Your aim is peace, health, inspiration, harmony, and abundance. Feel a river of peace flowing through you now. Your thought is the immaterial and invisible power, and you choose to let it bless, inspire, and give you peace.

If you would like your own copy of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind you can get it here.

Planning 
Stop and Think Things Through --
BEFORE Taking Action...
Would You Invest A Quarter To Get A Dollar?

One hour of planning can save you at least four hours of hard work. The more time you invest in thinking through your projects the more you'll accomplish in the long run.

Invest your time in planning, before you spend it on acting.
"The beginning is the most important part of the work."~ Plato

"Not the maker of plans and promises, but rather the one who offers faithful service in small matters. This is the person who is most likely to achieve what is good and lasting. " Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Your aids to forgiveness 
1. God, or Life, is no respecter of persons. Life plays no favorites. Life, or God, seems to favor you when you align yourself with the principle of harmony, health, joy, and peace.
2. God, or Life, never sends disease, sickness, accident, or suffering. We bring these things on ourselves by our own negative destructive thinking based upon the law as we sow, so shall we reap.
3. Your concept of God is the most important thing in your life. If you really believe in a God of love, your subconscious mind will respond in countless blessings to you. Believe in a God of love.
4. Life, or God, holds no grudge against you. Life never condemns you. Life heals a severe cut on your hand. Life forgives you if you burn your finger. It reduces the edema and restores the part to wholeness and perfection.
5. Your guilt complex is a false concept of God and Life.
God, or Life, does not punish or judge you. You do this to yourself by your false beliefs, negative thinking, and self-condemnation.
6. God, or Life, does not condemn or punish you. The forces of nature are not evil. The effect of their use depends on how you use the power within you. You can use electricity to kill someone or to light the house. You can use water to drown a child, or quench his thirst. Good and evil come right back to the thought and purpose in man’s own mind.
7. God, or Life, never punishes. Man punishes himself by his false concepts of God, Life, and the Universe. His thoughts are creative, and he creates his own misery.
8. If another criticizes you, and these faults are within you, rejoice, give thanks, and appreciate the comments. This gives you the opportunity to correct the particular fault.
9. You cannot be hurt by criticism when you know that you are master of your thoughts, reactions, and emotions. This gives you the opportunity to pray and bless the other, thereby blessing yourself.
10. When you pray for guidance and right action, take what comes. Realize it is good and very good. Then there is no cause for self-pity, criticism, or hatred.
11. There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so. There is no evil in sex, the desire for food, wealth, or true expression. It depends on how you use these urges, desires, or aspirations. Your desire for food can be met without killing someone for a loaf of bread.
12. Resentment, hatred, ill will, and hostility are behind a host of maladies. Forgive yourself and everybody else by pouring out love, life, joy, and good will to all those who have hurt you. Continue until such time as you meet them in your mind and you are at peace with them.
13. To forgive is to give something for. Give love, peace, joy, wisdom, and all the blessings of life to the other, until there is no sting left in your mind. This is really the acid test of forgiveness.
14. Let us suppose you had an abscess in your jaw about a year ago. It was very painful. Ask yourself if it is painful now. The answer is in the negative. Likewise, if someone has hurt you, lied about and vilified you, and said all manner of evil about you, is your thought of that person negative? Do you sizzle when he or she comes into your mind? If so, the roots of hatred are still there, playing havoc with you and your good. The only way is to wither them with love by wishing for the person all the blessings of life, until you can meet the person in your mind, and you can sincerely react with a benediction of peace and good will. This is the meaning of forgive until seventy times seven.

Summary of steps to happiness 
1. William James said that the greatest discovery of the 19th century was the power of the subconscious mind touched by faith.
2. There is tremendous power within you. Happiness will come to you when you acquire a sublime confidence in this power. Then, you will make your dreams come true.
3. You can rise victorious over any defeat and realize the cherished desires of your heart through the marvelous power of your subconscious mind. This is the meaning of whoso-ever trusteth in the Lord [spiritual laws of the subconscious mind], happy is he.
4. You must choose happiness. Happiness is a habit. It is a good habit to ponder often on Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:8.
5. When you open your eyes in the morning, say to yourself, I choose happiness today. I choose success today. I choose right action today. I choose love and good will for all today. I choose peace today. Pour life, love, and interest into this affirmation, and you have chosen happiness.
6. Give thanks for all your blessings several times a day. Fur-thermore, pray for the peace, happiness, and prosperity of all members of your family, your associates, and all people everywhere.
7. You must sincerely desire to be happy. Nothing is accomplished without desire. Desire is a wish with wings of imagination and faith. Imagine the fulfillment of your de-sire, and feel its reality, and it will come to pass. Happiness comes in answered prayer.
8. By constantly dwelling on thoughts of fear, worry, anger, hate, and failure, you will become very depressed and unhappy. Remember, your life is what your thoughts make of it.
9. You cannot buy happiness with all the money in the world. Some millionaires are very happy, some are very unhappy. Many people with very little worldly goods are very happy, and some are very unhappy. Some married people are happy, and some very unhappy. Some single people are happy, and some are very unhappy. The kingdom of hap-piness is in your thought and feeling.
10. Happiness is the harvest of a quiet mind. Anchor your thoughts on peace, poise, security, and divine guidance, and your mind will be productive of happiness.
11. There is no block to your happiness. External things are not causative; these are effects, not cause. Take your cue from the only creative principle within you. Your thought is cause, and a new cause produces a new effect. Choose hap-piness.
12. The happiest man is he who brings forth the highest and the best in him. God is the highest and the best in him, for the kingdom of God is within.

You must choose happiness 
Happiness is a state of mind. There is a phrase in the Bible which says, Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. You have the freedom to choose happiness. This may seem extraordinarily simple, and it is. Perhaps this is why people stumble over the way to happiness; they do not see the simplicity of the key to happiness. The great things of life are simple, dynamic, and creative. They produce well-being and happiness.
St. Paul reveals to you how you can think your way into a life of dynamic power and happiness in these words: Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. PHIL. 4:8.
Begin now to choose happiness. This is how you do it: When you open your eyes in the morning, say to yourself, Divine order takes charge of my life today and every day. All things work together for good for me today. This is a new and wonderful day for me. There will never be another day like this one. I am divinely guided all day long, and whatever I do will prosper. Divine love surrounds me, enfolds me, and enwraps me, and I go forth in peace. Whenever my attention wanders away from that which is good and constructive, I will immediately bring it back to the contemplation of that which is lovely and of good report. I am a spiritual and mental magnet attracting to myself all things, which bless and prosper me. I am going to be a wonderful success in all my undertakings to-day. I am definitely going to be happy all day long.
Start each day in this manner; then you will be choosing happiness, and you will be a radiant joyous person.

Your Vision 
When you have a big vision in life and large goals you wish to achieve it is really important to have people around you that inspire you to keep on going and who believe in you and your dreams.

I recommend therefore to share (parts of) your vision with the people around you that think big too and who recognize your talents and positive attitude. Hopefully that includes your partner, family members and/or close friends. Let them know what you want to achieve and why. They will most probably be inspired too and will keep you accountable by asking from time to time how well you are doing in achieving what you had set to create.

Of course, it is mutually beneficial if you ask them about their goals and vision, too. Most people love to talk about the dreams they have in life and what they are passionate about. So let some of the people in your life that you are close to know that you are open to hearing about their vision and see how you can empower them too. It may open up a whole new level of conversation that definitely will be fun and inspiring!

I use the Vision Board on my computer to keep my goals in front of my and my vision alive!

Success 
Success, however you define it, is not an accident. It is not a result of good luck versus bad luck.

Even if you have not taken the time to clearly identify how you got from where you were to where you are today, there have been a series of specific steps that you have taken that have brought you to where you are at this minute.

And the fact is they could have brought you to no other place. You are where you are, and what you are because of yourself. It has been your choices and your decisions over the months and years that have inevitably determined the condition of your life at this moment.

The most wonderful part is that at any time you can start making different choices and different decisions, taking different steps and you will inevitably arrive at a different place than where you are today. And, that is precisely why this challenge has been created.

Our world is filled with people with every conceivable type of handicap and liability but who have gone on to build wonderful lives for themselves.

Often people around them have ascribed their good fortune to luck. But if you talk to these people and you trace their stories from where they began to where they are now, you will find that luck had nothing to do with their success, and it has nothing to do with yours.

The law of cause and effect cuts in both directions. It also says that if there is an effect in your life, such as lack of money, problems in your relationships, an unsatisfying job or career, or any other difficulty, you can trace that effect back to the things that you have done to cause it and that by removing the causes you can begin to remove the effects, sometimes as quickly as overnight.

In its simplest terms, successful, happy, healthy, prosperous people are those that have discovered the laws that govern our lives and have designed their lives so that they are in harmony with those laws.

As a result, they experience far more joy and satisfaction, and accomplish far more in a few years then the average person does in a lifetime.

Perhaps the most important corollary to the law of cause and effect is this – “thoughts are causes” and “conditions are effects”.

Your mind is the most powerful force in your universe, and you become what you think about most of the time. You are where you are and what you are because of your habitual ways of thinking.

Your thoughts are creative, and they ultimately create your reality. So if you change your thinking, you will change your life.

The Peaceful Warrior 
Last Night I watched “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior” taken from the book of the same name written by Dan Millman. This was the best movie I have watched in a long time. It truly inspired me to live in the moment, to appreciate the people in my life and to show them that I care about them.
I have been studying and reading so many books about becoming what we think about and the power of attraction which have been great, but this movie pointed out something that I already knew but the reminder was timely, life is about the journey not the destination.
Sometimes our lives can be difficult and we tend to get caught up in whatever it is that is making it hard, but are not all events in our life something we can learn and grow from? We don’t seek out tough times but the tough times can bring out our inner strength, they can reveal the person that you always knew you could be.
Take a moment to just slow down today and appreciate the people in your life. Make sure you tell them how much you care for them.
I have just ordered another book by Dan Milman, The Life You Were Born To Live. http://tinyurl.com/ygbwoaq I can hardly wait for some more inspiration.
Here is a link to The Way of the Peaceful Warrior http://tinyurl.com/yk73ps4 I hope you enjoy it like I did.

Your Subconscious and Marital Problems 
1. Ignorance of mental and spiritual laws is the cause of all marital unhappiness. By praying scientifically together, you stay together.
2. The best time to prevent divorce is before marriage. If you learn how to pray in the right way, you will attract the right mate for you.
3. Marriage is the union of a man and woman who are bound together by love. Their hearts beat as one, and they move onward, upward, and Godward.
4. Marriage does not bequeath happiness. People find happiness by dwelling on the eternal truths of God and the spiritual values of life. Then, the man and woman can con-tribute to each other’s happiness and joy.
5. You attract the right mate by dwelling on the qualities and characteristics you admire in a woman or a man, and then your subconscious mind will bring you together in divine order.
6. You must build into your mentality the mental equivalent of what you want in a marriage partner. If you want to attract an honest, sincere, and loving partner in life, you must be honest, sincere, and loving yourself.
7. You do not have to repeat mistakes in marriage. When you really believe you can have the type man or woman you idealize, it is done unto you, as you believe. To believe is to accept something as true. Accept your ideal companion now mentally.
8. Do not wonder how, why, or where you will meet the mate you are praying for. Trust implicitly the wisdom of your subconscious mind. It has the “know-how,” and you don’t have to assist it.
9. You are mentally divorced when you indulge in peeves, grudges, ill will, and hostility toward your marriage partner. You are mentally dwelling with error in the bed of your mind. Adhere to your marriage vows, “I promise to cherish, love, and honor him (or her) all the days of my life.”
10. Cease projecting fear patterns to your marriage partner. Project love, peace, harmony, and good will, and your marriage will grow more beautiful and more wonderful through the years.
11. Radiate love, peace, and good will to each other. These vibrations are picked up by the subconscious mind resulting in mutual trust, affection, and respect.
12. A nagging wife is usually seeking attention and appreciation. She is craving for love and affection. Praise and exalt her many good points. Show her that you love her and appreciate her.
13. A man who loves his wife does not do anything unloving or unkind in word, manner, or action. Love is what love does.
14. In marital problems, always seek expert advice. You would not go to a carpenter to pull a tooth; neither should you discuss your marriage problems with relatives or friends. You should go to a trained person for counsel.
15. Never try to make your wife or husband over. These at-tempts are always foolish and tend to destroy the pride and self-esteem of the other. Moreover, it arouses a spirit of resentment that proves fatal to the marriage bond. Cease trying to make the other a second edition of yourself.
16. Pray together and you will stay together. Scientific prayer solves all problems. Mentally picture your wife as she ought to be, joyous, happy, healthy, and beautiful. See your husband, as he ought to be, strong, powerful, loving, harmonious, and kind. Maintain this mental picture, and you will experience the

From the 100 Day Challenge  
1. Can you make yourself do something you really don't want to do, in order to get a result you would really like to have?

When you are able to answer this question affirmatively, you will experience a massive shift in your perception of the immediate future.

This single concept can dramatically alter your relationships, your finances, and even your health!

The deeper question, of course, is:

2. What result would you like to have?

- How healthy (or unhealthy) are you willing to be?

- What kind of marriage do you really want to experience?

- Does it really matter to you whether or not your family is debt-free?

Okay . . . So you want to be in peak physical shape . . .

You desire a marriage filled with love, excitement, and laughter . . .

You crave freedom from the stress and uncertainty of monthly bills . . .

BUT...

3. What activities must be done - with a single-minded focus - to achieve the life you long for?

And can you make yourself do those things?

I am betting that you can. Remember, I am The Goals Guy and I have personally witnessed the amazing changes people can make when they challenge themselves to do the things they really don't want to do.

There it is. No more sugarcoating or explanation needed.

Do you truly want to succeed in your chosen endeavor? Do you want to radically and permanently change your life?

Then, can you make yourself do something you really don't want to do, in order to get a result you would really like to have?

Yes or No?

Summary of your aids to the wonders of sleep 
1. If you are worried that you will not wake up on time, suggest to your subconscious mind prior to sleep the exact time you wish to arise, and it will awaken you. It needs no clock. Do the same thing with all problems. There is nothing too hard for your subconscious.
2. Your subconscious never sleeps. It is always on the job. It controls all your vital functions. Forgive yourself and every-one else before you go to sleep, and healing will take place much more rapidly.
3. Guidance is given you while you are asleep, sometimes in a dream. The healing currents are also released, and in the morning you feel refreshed and rejuvenated.
4. When troubled by the vexations and strife of the day, still the wheels of your mind and think about the wisdom and intelligence lodged in your subconscious mind, which is ready to respond to you. This will give you peace, strength, and confidence.
5. Sleep is essential for peace of mind and health of body.
Lack of sleep can cause irritation, depression, and mental disorders. You need eight hours’ sleep.
6. Medical research scholars point out that insomnia precedes psychotic breakdowns.
7. You are spiritually recharged during sleep. Adequate sleep is essential for joy and vitality in life.
8. Your tired brain craves sleep so hungrily that it will sacrifice anything to get it. Many who have fallen asleep at the wheel of an automobile can testify to this.
9. Many sleep-deprived people have poor memories and lack proper co-ordination. They become befuddled, confused, and disorientated.
10. Sleep brings counsel. Prior to sleep, claim that the infinite intelligence of your subconscious mind is guiding and directing you. Then, watch for the lead, which comes, perhaps on awakening.
11. Trust your subconscious completely. Know that its tendency is always lifeward. Occasionally, your subconscious answers you in a very vivid dream and a vision in the night. You can be forewarned in a dream in the same way as the author of this book was warned.
12. Your future is in your mind now, based on your habitual thinking and beliefs. Claim infinite intelligence leads and guides you and that all good is yours, and your future will be wonderful. Believe it and accept it. Expect the best, and invariably the best will come to you.
13. If you are writing a novel, play, or book, or are working on an invention, speak to your subconscious mind at night and claim boldly that its wisdom, intelligence, and power are guiding, directing, and revealing to you the ideal play, novel, book, or revealing the perfect solution whatever may be. Wonders will happen as you pray this way.

We are a busy bunch of people these days 
Most of us have so many things to do, to have or to be. This can create a pretty "busy head":), with many thoughts going around in our minds. To create some peace of mind, the advice I often read or hear is to just be quiet and still and stop your thoughts. "Just" be still and stop your thoughts... that is easier said than done, right? Here is an interesting exercise I learned a while back that helps to still the mind. I thought I'd share it with you.

When you feel your head is spinning and your mind needs a break, a great way to get your mind off things is to go outside (you can do it inside as well but the fresh air will help to freshen up) an do the following:

go for a walk and on your way, start describing the things you see around you in detail. For instance, stop at a tree and start describing it: "it is a big tree, the trunk is green and brown and has wholes in it. I see some insects crawling around as well. The leaves are hand shaped, there are many many leaves. They make a lot of noise as the wind goes through them", etc. I think you get the picture. You will notice that you are so focused on the details that you will forget all other things that where going through your mind before.

You can also do this with someone else and describe things to each other. Alternatively, you can ask each other questions such as "what does that tree look like?" or "what sounds do you hear around you?". Both of you will get a nice break and your minds will be refreshed. A wonderful way to relax together!

Your future is in your subconscious mind 
Remember that the future, the result of your habitual thinking, is already in your mind except when you change it through prayer. The future of a country, likewise, is in the collective subconscious of the people of that nation. There is nothing strange in the dream I had wherein I saw the headlines of the New York newspapers long before the war began. The war had already taken place in mind, and all the plans of attack were already engraved on that great recording instrument, the subconscious mind or collective unconscious of the universal mind. Tomorrow’s events are in your subconscious mind, so are next week’s and next month’s, and they may be seen by a highly psychic or clairvoyant person.
No disaster or tragedy can happen to you if you decide to pray. Nothing is predetermined or foreordained. Your mental attitude, i.e., the way you think, feel, and believe determines your destiny. You can, through scientific prayer, which is explained in a previous chapter, mold, fashion, and create your own future. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

NLP and Success 
If there's one question about success that's on your mind right now, it should be this -

'What do the most successful people in the planet have all in common, that allows them to enjoy the success they have today?'

It's plain common sense, isn't it?

All the rich and successful people in the world must be doing or possessing something similar that have allowed them to achieve the success they have in life.

Success doesn't happen by chance.

So what's the secret behind all these people?

The secret is that they all possess the "Patterns Of Excellence".

Click Here!

And these Patterns Of Excellence could be THE missing link between you and the success you crave in your life.

Imagine if you already possessed all the critical mindsets, habits, and behavior of the top 1% of people in the world.

With that, you could literally jump off a plane with a parachute, land anywhere in the world, and still be a roaring success where ever you are. Because you know the secret to success.

Seeing Is Believing If You Want To Burn Fat - Or Is It? 
I liked this guys way of thinking so I thought I would pass it along.

By Rob Poulos, Fat Loss & Fitness Expert & Creator of 'Fat Burning Furnace'

As with a good majority of the things we do in life, we rely heavily on our vision or eyesight as the determining factor in whether or not we believe something. And this is unfortunately the case in trying to burn fat as well. What’s the old cliché? A picture is worth a thousand words, right?

Well, when we lock our eyes onto that photo of that buff guy or buxom bombshell on the cover of the latest fitness or weight loss product, something happens. We get excited. We may even get very excited!

Unfortunately, this is something that many in the fitness industry are preying on. They know this and use it to their huge advantage. The process is simple: put a great looking and in-shape guy or girl on a product and it will sell. They don’t even have to tell you you’ll look like that person - they already know your subconscious will assume it will happen. When you're desperate to burn fat, this is an easy game for the fitness industry to play.

And of course a few weeks later if it doesn’t, you may start to lose hope and realize that it’s going to be tough to keep up with the unrealistic and overly strict guidelines. You’ve got a life, right? Sure, you want to burn fat, but you’ve got a job, maybe a family, and other interests in life. Don’t get me wrong, I love a great fat burning workout, but I know you don’t want to spend every waking hour for the rest of your life working out!

All of this happened to me several times over as a young man. I wasn’t happy with my weight, wanted to burn fat, and was in search of the most efficient way to get lean, strong, and healthy, but while not spending too much time in the gym, or having to follow crazy diet plans for long periods of time.

After more than a decade of experimenting on myself, friends, relatives, and perfect strangers, I assembled some of the secrets that I found to work best at burning fat and in the shortest amount of time, on myself and the others that I worked with. Now, what led me to do this was an incredible amount of frustration that I know thousands of others are going through right now.

Why? To answer that, I want you to understand the psychological aspects of what we are up against in the world of health and fitness.

What do you call doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? OK, I’ll answer this one…Insanity! In some ways, the fitness industry is making you insane in your quest to burn fat and get a lean, strong, and healthy body. Their promises are too good to be true and often they can’t typically deliver on them. They are over-promising and under-delivering in many cases.

It’s a big psychological game that the fitness industry is playing with us, and it dates back to our childhood. When we were kids, we were all taught in school that we could do anything we wanted to do when we grew up. Your parents might have even told you that you can achieve anything you want if you believe in it strongly enough. I know mine did.

While this can provide great inspiration in life’s pursuits, it can also be used against you by others, and without you knowing. You are largely a product of your genetic makeup. Just as Mini-Me from the Austin Powers movies could never play in the NBA, a guy like Woody Allen could never win a heavyweight bodybuilding competition.

The reality is that these two guys can burn fat and get in the best shape of their life, but our genes are responsible for much of what we end up looking like when in that best shape. But this isn’t what the fitness industry will typically tell you - they want you thinking that anyone can look like a genetic freak of nature…if you just follow their programs, that is.

Please know that I am not saying you are doomed by your genes…everyone can make amazing improvements in their physiques with proper exercise and nutrition habits. It’s when we start comparing ourselves to the guys or gals in the magazines that we get into trouble, and get lost in that vicious cycle of hype and sensationalism all too prevalent in fitness and fat burning today.

As I mentioned before, you’ve got a life. You’re a busy person. We all are. We live in a fast-paced society, the information age, where we have so many tasks to complete and so little time to complete them. I don’t know about you, but I find myself trying to cram everything I do into those few hours between waking up and going to sleep. It’s not easy.

Then comes along the fitness gurus telling you that to burn fat and get in great shape you’ve got to workout everyday or close to it. You’ve got to do aerobics or cardiovascular exercise to burn fat, several times a week. You’ve got to weight train several other days each week, so that you are literally working out 5-6 days each week, every week. If you want it, you’ve got to do it, they say.

I’m here to tell you that nothing could be further from the truth! Many of these programs will also tell you that you’ve got to follow some crazy diet to burn fat. This might include cutting all or most of your carbs, ingesting loads of supplements or other magic weight loss potions. On top of that, when their programs don’t deliver, they’ll tell you that everyone is different and that you’ve got to find what works right for you. Wait a minute...weren’t they just telling you that their program promises the body on the cover?

What they are doing is keeping you in that fitness insanity that I mentioned earlier. They keep you doing the same thing (trying then next hot product or workout and diet regimen) and promising the same great fat burning results. If it doesn’t work, they recommend the next great thing. And too many people go on to that next miracle product or promise and the fitness industry uses this to their advantage!

Unfortunately the fitness industry, in many ways, has become a cycle of hype and sensationalism. Sure, there are some good-hearted trainers and professionals out there, but even some of them are being controlled by the fitness center owners, magazine publishers, and supplement companies. That’s where the money is! Even if they are trying to help you, they can become unwitting victims to the machine.

They advertise their products, programs, and diets by using the cream of the crop in the genetic gene pool. Hey, if it worked for that guy or gal with the amazing physique, it will work for me. I fell for it, too, many times, until I did some serious research and experimentation as I mentioned before.

Then one day I finally woke up and discovered for myself the secrets that few people are aware of. Secrets that will never dominate the fitness industry’s general recommendations because they are unpopular with the people that control the industry. Why?

Because these principles won’t sell loads of crazy exercise gimmicks, gadgets, or magic potions. My Fat Burning Furnace students are schooled in the proper application of brief, progressive, and intense resistance training, eating a diet full of nutrient rich foods, drinking tons of water, and getting plenty of quality sleep and rest.

But our subconscious mind is powerful, and you have to watch out…even today, I can get sucked in to a compelling late night TV ad, even though I know better. So you’ve got to stay on guard.

If people would pay more attention to proven principles like those I teach my students, and spend less time with the latest “butt buster” or “fat stripper” on the market, we’d all be healthier, leaner, stronger, and happier for it. And we'd also be burning a heck of a lot more fat in the process.

Another Interesting Money Maker... 
Are you looking for an inflation and recession-proof business that you can start for less than the cost of a cheap dinner out?

Would you like to find customers who live within a stones-throw of your house? Well, here it is...

I can show you how to turn your love of animals into a full or part-time business that's so easy to run you'll almost be ashamed to get paid for it!

AND YES, there are plenty of people who are willing to pay you good money to help care for their beloved pets!

Every day, millions of people around the world are struggling with long work hours, business and personal trips, home repair chores, grocery shopping and hundreds of other issues that suck up their free time like dirt through a vacuum cleaner.

And while many of these people have come to grips with ignoring some of their own needs in order to get everything accomplished each day, there are a growing number of people who have one responsibility they can't ignore...

It's the responsibility that comes with a wet nose and a waggily tail. That's right; humans may willingly skip a meal or two when time gets tight, or hold their legs together a little more tightly until they have a chance to head for the potty, but it doesn't work that way for the family dog.

In order to remain healthy, pets need to be fed and walked regularly. And when owners don't have the time to do it themselves, they turn to professional pet sitters and dog walkers to get the job done.

This looks like an easy way to make a few extra bucks in our weak economy, to see the complete story check out the site below.

Tap the power of your subconscious 
It has been proven over the last 50 years through many studies and reports that the subconscious mind is able to absorb information that the conscious is not focusing on. In fact, in many cases more so than when it does focus on it! It's opposite to what one would naturally think.

Napoleon Hill told us over 70 years ago that "any impulse of thought which is repeatedly passed on to the subconscious mind is finally accepted and acted upon by the subconscious mind, which proceeds to translate that impulse into its physical equivalent, by the most practical procedure available."

He recognized the power of the subconscious so much that he devoted an entire chapter of "Think and Grow Rich" to it. "The subconscious mind will transmute into its physical equivalent, by the most direct and practical media available, any order which is given to it in a state of BELIEF, or FAITH that the order will be carried out."

Now suppose you could use the power of your subconscious mind to:

* Boost your enthusiasm and physical energy

* Skyrocket your self-esteem

* Become more assertive

* Make better decisions

* Enhance the healing process

* Make it easier to get rid of bad habits

* Become more self-confident

* Enjoy deepened relaxation

Serve yourself with the powers of your mind 
1. Decide to be wealthy the easy way, with the infallible aid of your subconscious mind.
2. Trying to accumulate wealth by the sweat of your brow and hard labor is one way to become the richest man in the graveyard. You do not have to strive or slave hard.
3. Wealth is a subconscious conviction. Build into your mentality the idea of wealth.
4. The trouble with most people is that they have no invisible means of support.
5. Repeat the word, “Wealth,” to yourself slowly and quietly for about five minutes prior to sleep and your subconscious will bring wealth to pass in your experience.
6. The feeling of wealth produces wealth. Keep this in mind at all times.
7. Your conscious and subconscious mind must agree. Your subconscious accepts what you really feel to be true. The dominant idea is always accepted by your subconscious mind. The dominant idea should be wealth, not poverty.
8. You can overcome any mental conflict regarding wealth by affirming frequently, “By day and by night I am being prospered in all of my interests.”
9. Increase your sales by repeating this statement over and over again, “My sales are improving every day; I am advancing, progressing, and getting wealthier every day.”
10. Stop writing blank checks, such as, “There is not enough to go around,” or “There is a shortage,” etc. Such statements magnify and multiply your loss.
11. Deposit thoughts of prosperity, wealth, and success in your subconscious mind, and the latter will give you compound interest.
12. What you consciously affirm, you must not mentally deny a few moments later. This will neutralize the good you have affirmed.
13. Your true source of wealth consists of the ideas in your mind. You can have an idea worth millions of dollars. Your subconscious will give you the idea you seek.
14. Envy and jealousy are stumbling blocks to the flow of wealth. Rejoice in the prosperity of others.
15. The block to wealth is in your own mind. Destroy that block now by getting on good mental terms with everyone.

Hot off the presses… 
Are you aware of the latest “lease on life” with Facebook?

It’s all about having Fan Pages.

And if you don’t think this one simple change is dramatically
changing the face of marketing—think again. In fact, watch
this and you’ll see how crucial this is…

[Why Fan Pages Are So Important]



It’s kind of funny, because when you speak
of somebody being a “fan”, it’s really a polite way to
say they are a FANATIC about something.

You know—like for NASCAR, Britney Spears, or
chocolate!

And when somebody is a fan, they will do almost
ANYTHING for the object of their admiration--
including spreading the word like proverbial
wildfire about anything related to
their “fanship”.

When you take this basic premise and attach
it to your business—well, the results are
nothing short of phenomenal.

So the bottom line is, you should definitely
be utilizing a Facebook Fan Page if you want
to enjoy traffic generation beyond your wildest
dreams.

And now Robert Grand and Ian David Chapman
are going to show you not just one, but TEN ways
you can grow your Fan Page to critical mass.

[Here’s How You Build Your Fan Page]


The content in this is awesome, that’s all there is
to it. And to have access to this today as a gift?
Priceless.

You simply must take advantage of this before they
come to their senses and take this out of public
circulation…

[Ten Proven Strategies To Grow Your Fan Page FAST]



Let me know how you do with this OK? I expect
I’ll hear even more success stories very soon.

To your success,

Jeffrey


P.S. The viral component of this is enormous. Basically this
takes on a life of it’s own and the only way you can stop it
is to turn off your page! And why would you do that when
it’s making you so much money?

The Integrity Pledge 
Commitments present themselves in delineations of black and white; after all, you either honor your commitments, or you don’t.

Success is the result of making and keeping commitments to yourself and others, while all failed or unfinished goals, projects, and relationships are the direct result of broken obligations. It’s that simple, that profound, and that important.

A commitment made must become a commitment honored, as each one counts in more ways than you can possibly imagine. Your ability to honor your promises directly impacts your credibility, reputation, trustworthiness, earning ability, and overall peace of mind.

Character defines an individual; honoring commitments helps to define character.

Every day, you make commitments to customers, family members, and associates. Some are explicit, others implied; but each one ultimately results in success or failure.

Nothing builds confidence and loyalty more reliably than a history of well-kept promises; and by the same token, nothing will undermine your reputation faster than a string of broken commitments.

If you look at successful people in any field, you may not discover that they’re necessarily the brightest, best looking, fastest, or strongest of the bunch.

What you will find, however, is that they are the ones with the deepest reservoir of commitment. They fully understand that all great accomplishment is preceded by great commitment.

So, how great is the power of your commitment?

“Disposable” is a word suited to describe many of today’s products. From razors to diapers, from milk cartons to toner cartridges, it seems that disposability is being built into the very fabric of society.

Have commitments and promises fallen into the same trap?

Is it really “no big deal” to make a pledge and then discard it; to make a promise and simply walk away from it?

Commitment is a virtue—one that requires fulfillment and punishes unfaithfulness. For many, it’s going to take a dramatic shift to embrace the importance of commitments and internalize the meaning of permanence.

A man without his word is fundamentally worthless. It’s like having a stain on your reputation that no amount of bleach could ever remove.

If your word is not supported by action—if you take a cavalier attitude toward your obligations—then the party’s over. You may as well stick a fork in your reputation, because no one will be interested in working with you.

Your word is a form of capital. It’s money in the bank for someone who is counting on it. That being said, you should only invest your capital where and when it counts most or it will lose its value.

And because your word is like currency, you must give it only when the occasion is important enough to call for it.

The person to whom you are promising something must be able to recognize that your word has real value, and that it’s not counterfeit.

You certainly don’t give money out to every Tonya, Dick, and Harry; you should treat your promises with the same level of respect.

Remember, what you don’t protect, you don’t get to keep. A reputation is a terrible thing to waste.

You had best learn not to say you will deliver on something you know you can’t—whether it’s promising to pay someone back, keep a secret, or saying you’ll do a favor on which you have no intention of following through.

Consider this: What’s the point of making a commitment or promise if you don’t even plan to honor it?

This question applies to your relationship with others just as much as it does to your relationship with yourself.

The greatest and most unfortunate betrayal is that of oneself. Being able to adhere to our commitments begins with self-respect.

When we say one thing and do another—when we start projects but don’t finish them; when we go on a diet but quit soon after beginning—then the only thing at which we become successful is sabotaging our reputation with ourselves.

And when we dishonor our own commitments and lie to ourselves, how on earth can we be expected to honor the commitments we make to others?

There is no backdoor to a self-made promise. There is no contractual loophole. Either you maintain the contract, or you are in breach.

By dishonoring your own commitments, you undermine and poison whatever faith you have in your own abilities.

A strong, healthy, psychological immune system is essential for success; there’s no better way to ensure that than by making each commitment count.

What kind of person do you want to be known as: someone who has character and a stellar reputation? Or as someone who’s unreliable, untrustworthy … even a quitter?

Do you want to able to hold your head up high with dignity and self respect?

If so, adopt this philosophy:

If you make a commitment, honor it.

If you make a promise, keep it.

If you set a goal, achieve it.

Commitment is an act of pledging or engaging oneself to do or to perform.

Once there is an authentic obligation—rather than just a passing interest—you will find a way to make great things happen.

To translate your promises into action, and to experience the power of commitment, consider these questions:

* Are you interested in getting in shape or passionately committed?
* Are you interested in simplifying your life or passionately committed?
* Are you interested in spending more time with your kids or passionately committed?
* Are you interested in writing a book or passionately committed?
* Are you interested in spiritual growth or passionately committed?
* Are you interested in improving your marriage or passionately committed?
* Are you interested in paying off your debts or passionately committed?
* Are you interested in starting your own business or passionately committed?

Fantastic things can be accomplished once you move beyond merely being interested to a state of passionate commitment.

Until you’ve committed to them, goals are irrelevant, dreams are useless, and hopes are no more than a pipe dream.

Commitment inspires you to perform to the best of your abilities.

It protects and strengthens your credibility and reputation with yourself and others. It provides you with passionate energy and unstoppable momentum, and fills you with a sense of pride that’s priceless.

Your subconscious processes are always lifeward 
Over 90 percent of your mental life is subconscious, so men and women who fail to make use of this marvelous power live within very narrow limits.
Your subconscious processes are always lifeward and constructive. Your subconscious is the builder of your body and maintains all its vital functions. It is on the job 24 hours a day and never sleeps. It is always trying to help and preserve you from harm.
Your subconscious mind is in touch with infinite life and boundless wisdom, and its impulses and ideas are always life-ward. The great aspirations, inspirations, and visions for a grander and nobler life, spring from the subconscious. Your profoundest convictions are those you cannot argue about rationally because they do not come from your conscious mind; they come from your subconscious mind. Your subconscious speaks to you in intuitions, impulses, hunches, intimations, urges, and ideas, and it is always telling you to rise, transcend, grow, advance, adventure, and move forward to greater heights. The urge to love, to save the lives of others comes from the depths of your subconscious. For example, during the great San Francisco earthquake and fire of April 18, 1906, invalids and cripples who had been confined to bed for long periods of time, rose up and performed some of the most amazing feats of bravery and endurance. The intense desire welled up within them to save others at all costs, and their subconscious responded accordingly.
Great artists, musicians, poets, speakers, and writers tune in with their subconscious powers and become animated and inspired. For example, Robert Louis Stevenson, before he went to sleep, used to charge his subconscious with the task of evolving stories for him while he slept. He was accustomed to ask his subconscious to give him a good, marketable thriller when his bank account was low. Stevenson said the intelligence of his deeper mind gave him the story piece by piece, like a serial. This shows how your subconscious will speak lofty and wise sayings through you, which your conscious mind knows nothing about.
Mark Twain confided to the world on many occasions that he never worked in his life. All his humor and all his great writings were due to the fact that he tapped the inexhaustible reservoir of his subconscious mind.

How The Mind Works 
1. Think good, and good follows. Think evil, and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.
2. Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, “I can’t afford it,” it may be true, but do not say it. Select a better thought, decree, “I’ll buy it. I accept it in my mind.”
3. You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. You can choose to be friendly, or you can choose to be unfriendly. Choose to be co-operative, joyous, friendly, lovable, and the whole world will respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.
4. Your conscious mind is the “watchman at the gate.” Its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions. Choose to believe that something good can happen and is happening now. Your greatest power is your capacity to choose. Choose happiness and abundance.
5. The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you will react.
6. Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle word. Never say, “I will fail; I will lose my job; I can’t pay the rent.” Your subconscious cannot take a joke. It brings all these things to pass.
7. Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends how you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless, heal, and inspire all people everywhere.
8. Never say, “I can’t.” Overcome that fear by substituting the following, “I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind.”
9. Begin to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths and principles of life and not from the standpoint of fear, ignorance, and superstition. Do not let others do your thinking for you. Choose your own thoughts and make your own decisions.
10. You are the captain of your soul (subconscious mind) and the master of your fate. Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!
11. Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action, and all the blessings of life.

Halloween Fun 
OK let me lighten it up a bit. Halloween is coming and it is one of the fun times of the year when adults and kids both can have some fun and be a little crazy. I remember one costume party I went to when I lived in Layton Utah working for Wells Fargo Mortgage, it was a company party and I had my mom help me do a Dracula costume. I went to the party and my wife went in first then I went in a few minutes later and no one could tell who I was, I did not talk for about a half an hour and until I did no one guessed who I was, it was a crack up.

As my kid were growing up we always had a blast trying to scare the older kids and the parents of the little ones that came to our house. We hid under my truck with silly string and let the little ones go to the door and then we would hit the parents with the silly string and watch them freak out... no wonder my son Riley is wild!

Anyway now that I have grand kids that are still a little young for the crazy stuff I have been having fun taking them door to door in their costumes and watching their eye light up from all the treats and the costumes. So in my daily internet surfing I have found a few sights that you might find interesting if you are planning some fun for Halloween.

What do you believe? 
It is not the thing believed in that brings an answer to man’s prayer; the answer to prayer results when the individual’s sub-conscious mind responds to the mental picture or thought in his mind. This law of belief is operating in all religions of the world and is the reason why they are psychologically true.

The Bud-dhist, the Christian, the Moslem, and the Hebrew all may get answers to their prayers, not because of the particular creed, religion, affiliation, ritual, ceremony, formula, liturgy, incanta-tion, sacrifices, or offerings, but solely because of belief or mental acceptance and receptivity about that for which they pray.

The law of life is the law of belief, and belief could be summed up briefly as a thought in your mind. As a man thinks, feels, and believes, so is the condition of his mind, body, and circum-stances. A technique, a methodology based on an understanding of what you are doing and why you are doing it will help you to bring about a subconscious embodiment of all the good things of life. Essentially, answered prayer is the realization of your heart’s desire.

From the way you handle money to what you eat to the people you choose as your friends and companions ... there is a specific reason for every single thing you do in life. And those reasons are part of the programming found in your subconscious mind.

Government Grants 
Well I keep hearing about these Government Grant programs so I thought I would experiment with them and see if it is true that you can get free money from the government with out being on welfare or some other program.

I looked at a bunch of sites that say they will show you the programs but I really like the one I found that provides the software to fill out the forms and actually help you apply for the grant. So this is the one I am using and I will document my progress:

Click Here!

I think most of us are always looking for a quick fix for everything and the other sites that just show you the programs leave you wanting for the solution, this program provides the solution but it is not the quick fix, you must go through the motions to get the free money... wait did I just say you have to do something in order to get free money?

So yes you do have to jump through some hoops to get some money from the government, heck I have to jump through hoops every year to give the government some of my money I think I am willing to jump through a few to get some of it back! Click Here!

Everything Counts! 
Right now, this instant, you are capable of exponential growth. You have the ability to multiply your performance, dramatically exceed your best expectations, and achieve goals on a scale that in the past seemed impossible.

The first step to igniting and creating your breakthrough is the creation of your massive action plan.

What is a Massive Action Plan?

A Massive Action Plan is based on the law of cause and effect which states that for every effect in your life, there is a cause, or series of specific, measurable, definable, identifiable causes.

This law says that if there is anything you want in life, an effect that you desire, you can find someone else that has achieved the same result or effect, and that by doing the same things that they have done over and over you can eventually enjoy the same results and rewards.

There are four identifiable relationships between cause and effect we will focus on and leverage the fourth relationship to ensure maximum results.

No Cause = No Effect

Wrong Cause = Wrong Effect

Right Cause = Right Effect

Massive Cause = Massive Effect

Success, however you define it, is not an accident. It is not a result of good luck versus bad luck.

Even if you have not taken the time to clearly identify how you got from where you were to where you are today, there have been a series of specific steps that you have taken that have brought you to where you are at this minute.

And the fact is they could have brought you to no other place. You are where you are, and what you are because of yourself. It has been your choices and your decisions over the months and years that have inevitably determined the condition of your life at this moment.

The most wonderful part is that at any time you can start making different choices and different decisions, taking different steps and you will inevitably arrive at a different place than where you are today. And, that is precisely why this challenge has been created.

Our world is filled with people with every conceivable type of handicap and liability but who have gone on to build wonderful lives for themselves.

Often people around them have ascribed their good fortune to luck. But if you talk to these people and you trace their stories from where they began to where they are now, you will find that luck had nothing to do with their success, and it has nothing to do with yours.

The law of cause and effect cuts in both directions. It also says that if there is an effect in your life, such as lack of money, problems in your relationships, an unsatisfying job or career, or any other difficulty, you can trace that effect back to the things that you have done to cause it and that by removing the causes you can begin to remove the effects, sometimes as quickly as overnight.

In its simplest terms, successful, happy, healthy, prosperous people are those that have discovered the laws that govern our lives and have designed their lives so that they are in harmony with those laws.

As a result, they experience far more joy and satisfaction, and accomplish far more in a few years then the average person does in a lifetime.

Perhaps the most important corollary to the law of cause and effect is this – “thoughts are causes” and “conditions are effects”.

Your mind is the most powerful force in your universe, and you become what you think about most of the time. You are where you are and what you are because of your habitual ways of thinking.

Your thoughts are creative, and they ultimately create your reality. So if you change your thinking, you will change your life.

The law of cause and effect is a timeless truth; it’s a universal principle that applies to each one of us. Your success in the 100 Day Challenge will come from organizing your life in conformance with this timeless principle.

When you understand the power that comes from the linkage between Massive Cause = Massive Effect, you will achieve a level of success and freedom that is far beyond anything you can currently imagine.

By joining the 100 Day Challenge, you have chosen your path wisely, and you have already started your great adventure.

Throughout the 100 Day Challenge, you must have the belief that the efficiencies of your business and life are infinite, that everything can be improved upon, that every project can be completed in an excellent fashion.

It gives me great personal pleasure to welcome you to the 100 Day Challenge, a community of people and organizations who are committed to living a life of excellence and displaying exceptionably high standards.

Everything Counts!

Last Chance 
Lots of negativity, fear, and doom and gloom going on right now.

I don't need the poisonous thinking and neither do you. My stock and real estate holdings are worth a LOT less today than last year.

Can't do anything about that, but one thing I do know: They always go back up.

Another thing I do know is that in every problem or difficulty lies opportunity and prosperity.

I prefer to focus on solutions, on opportunities and on ways to continue to add greater value.

There are tremendous opportunities for those who are looking for them and expecting them. And who know how to leverage bad times into good times.

I can show you how but ONLY if you act within the next 24 hours.

The good news is that I have extended the enrollment for the 100 Day Challenge.

Yesterday another 1431 enrolled and accepted the challenge to take control of their future.

I am offering you one FINAL opportunity to say Yes, I'm Ready for the Challenge.

Exceed Expectations 
The relentless pursuit of your goals is ultimately a physical, emotional and spiritual demonstration of how badly you want to succeed.

Do something big, bold and beautiful today that makes the world a better place, and which moves you ever closer to the achievement of your goals.

Going the extra mile is a phrase used to describe times when you do more than what was expected, in essence, it’s going above and beyond the call of duty.

It means doing everything humanly possible to ensure success for your clients, company, and colleagues.

The distance between those who achieve their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following has everything to do with one’s ability to go the extra mile.

It’s simply not enough to just show up and do your work. Superior performance is not, never has been, nor will it ever be, the by-product of ordinary efforts, and in today’s lesson you will be inspired to make going the extra mile your meal ticket to success.

Halloween Fun 
Well, Halloween is just around the corner and it will fall on the best of days, Saturday. So this is the year to go all out with your decorating and hosting a Halloween party!

People are starting to unpack their Halloween decorations to decorate their homes. Adults and children alike are trying to decide on their costume selection for this Halloween and preparing for Halloween costume parties, costume contests, masquerade balls, themed nightclubs, and yes, even Trick or Treating.

My Grand kids are still a little young but when my kids were pre-teen and teens it was the most fun "holiday". My son Riley and I would hide in a tree we had next to the front door and we would scare the parents as they waited for their little ones. It was a blast.

If you have some little ones that will be dressing up or if you are going to a party I found a discount costume store you might find interesting, anything to save a buck these days.

Lowest Prices Guaranteed - We will beat it!

Behavior Never Lies 
"Men acquire a particular quality by constantly acting a particular way...you become just by performing just actions, temperate by performing temperate actions, brave by performing brave actions."
Aristotle

Practice what you preach; do as you say, walk the talk, and actions speak louder than words are all derivatives of what I believe are the three most important words in your life – behavior never lies!

Your behavior is a reflection of what you believe to be true about yourself. Your behavior tells me how you think, your behavior tells me how you talk about yourself even when no one’s around, and your behavior tells me what you do every single day.

The real essence of truth, of who you really are is not found in what you say, but by what you do. In today’s challenge lesson we are going to expose and eradicate any contradiction between what you say you want and the actions you are taking.

Goal Setting 
Set Highly Rewarding Goals... Goals that
INSPIRE You to Take Bold Action...
Are Your Goals A Little Too Mundane?

If your goals fail to motivate you, you have uninspiring goals. So don't just set your goal on being able to pay your bills; set it on creating your financial freedom.
Inspired achievements begin as inspiring goals.

"Your goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life."~ Les Brown


Build Inspirational Detail into
Your Dreams & Visions...
Are You Dreaming In Surround Sound And Technicolor?

Have fun creating the details of your vision. Make it sizzle. Make it thunder. Make it glorious. Fill in as many details as possible with color, sights and sound. The more detail, the more real it will become for you.
The best way to foresee your future is to draw a detailed vision and set specific goals. Break out your crayons...it's picture time!

"Success... it's what you do with what you've got."~ Leroy Van Dyke

"Which specific goal or task will make me feel
fulfilled and satisfied when achieved this week?"

How about a goal in the area of...
your health?
your career?
your family?
your hobbies?
your business?


It is very effective to ask yourself this question often, as it will create a stronger awareness of and action towards your goals. So please give some thought to this RIGHT NOW. Don't skip over this..... I know your email box may be full, your diary overloaded and your blood pressure might be rising already.... But just take 5 minutes to set yourself up powerfully for the week.


Try and clear your mind and think about the following:
• What is the goal you wish to focus on this week?
• Why is this so important to you?
• What will it look like when you have achieved your goal?
• How will you feel when you have achieved this? Generate this feeling right now.
• What will it take to make this goal happen, which action steps will you need to take?
• When will you take these actions?

I suggest to make a decision right now to achieve this goal and to start taking the action steps you need to get closer to or achieve it.

Have a powerful week!

Mojo 
I like to refer to your “WHY”, as your psychological mojo, the motivation, burning desire, and passionate fire that gets you to take action on your goals.

The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. A passionate mojo is hard-core devotion to a person or cause; it infuses life with meaning, joy, and unbridled enthusiasm.

A passionate mojo is the desire in your heart, fire in your belly, an indispensable virtue that is far more valuable than money, power, or fame.

Whether you are tackling the issue of growing sales, adding value, focusing on results, embracing change, attracting talent, or raising performance, your passionate mojo will keep you committed to success.

A passionate mojo reflects confidence, spreads good cheer, raises morale, inspires associates, arouses loyalty, and laughs at adversity.

It’s a compelling emotion that enables you to go places others are afraid to go, to try things others are afraid to try, and to be the kind of person others are afraid to be.

A passionate mojo gives you the will to start, the strength to continue, and the sustaining power to overcome the greatest of obstacles and setbacks.

Your life’s path will inevitably hand you your share of obstacles. Common sense slows you down to investigate them, creative thinking will suggest some ingenious way of getting around them, and perseverance deliberately goes to work to dig under them.

But your passionate mojo will boldly face and leap right over difficulties.

Passion is closely related to perseverance, and perseverance is the strong determination to move toward the achievement of a goal, while passion is the mojo that drives perseverance.

Far too many people go through life without making any effort to truly live it, never getting that fire in their belly for enjoying life to the fullest.

The worst bankruptcy in the world is the person who has lost his or her mojo.

Wake Up Messages 
This is one of those wake up messages that you NEED to stop, invest three minutes in and understand the implications of it on your life!

Based on the frightening realities of today's economic situation, this is one of the most serious messages you will ever read.

Because right now, YOUR future literally lies in the balance. And I want to help.

Let me explain...

Your results are a reflection of what you believe to be true about yourself.

Your results tell me how you think, your results tell me how you talk about yourself even when no one's around, and your results tell me what you do every single day.

The Solution - Change Now!

The essence of change is always one of two things:

You are either going to do a different thing, or you're going to do things differently.

When you or your organization needs to change, the basic question will ALWAYS be:

"Do we need to change WHAT we do or HOW we do it?"

If you want new results, if you want a new reality, there's only one way- just change!

Begin today, right now by changing what you think, by changing what you say, and by changing what you do. It's that simple, it's that profound, and it's that important.

It's not that hard either. Do you remember what you did yesterday?

Well, if you do not like the results you got yesterday then change what you think, say, and do today.

Whatever it takes to get better results, be willing to give it a go.

In order for you to have a different life - you actually have to design a better life.

In order to live a better life, you must realize that your ONLY SECURITY comes from your ability to produce RESULTS!

Unfortunately, most people spend more time and energy on their grocery list than they do planning their life.

Right now, there's less than 100 days in the year and you have an awesome opportunity to finish the year strong and I'll show you how.

Something for Couples Today 
Book Review ­ 1000 Questions For Couples

One of the biggest reason marriages end in divorce is because couples fail to ask the big questions before they walk down the aisle.

If couples simply spent some time asking each other the questions that really matter, they'd greatly increase their chances of staying together.

The great thing about a "question book" is that it makes it easier to ask those difficult questions and encourages an environment to address them.

But is Michael Webb's "1000 Questions For Couples" the right book for this?

In short, yes. Most question books 'beat around the bush,' never really providing the important questions, and others simply don't have enough questions.

On the other hand, Webb has put together the most comprehensive collection of questions, covering every single topic you'd ever want to know about before tying the knot.

It includes tough subjects like money, children & child rearing, career, past and present relationships, religion, morals, convictions & beliefs, personality, and even sex.

But don't get me wrong ­ while there are many serious and tough topics to discuss, there are also many "lighter" yet just as important topics, including the car and driving, vacations, food and well being, pets, and your favorite things.

That's one thing I really loved about this book. It covered every conceivable topic from the super serious to the light-hearted and fun, making it easy for couples to start with easy questions and build their way up to important ones.

Also, a great bonus is having the ability to deliver 3 - 5 of the questions to my email each day, making everything automatic. I just go about my day and get new questions to ask my loved one, without having to really think about it.

In all, there's nothing really negative I can say about this book. It delivers exactly what it says and covers every question you would ever want to ask your loved one.

I highly recommend this book for everyone. NOT just couples who are thinking of getting married but also couples who just want to feel closer together, or people dating, who just want more things to talk about.

The Solution 
So what specifically can you do in order to capture the brass ring? What can you do to ensure dramatic and ongoing performance gains? Work
harder? Longer? Set realistic goals?

You don’t stand a chance of succeeding with that strategy, yet that is
exactly what the majority of people will do.
Most people operate within a mindset that success comes one step at
a time.

While unspoken, the court of public opinion says that we must move
systematically from our present level of achievement to the next. Then, the thinking goes, from that stage we can begin working toward graduating to still the next higher level in the sequence—gradual progress.

This is a false and unfortunate misconception, and it’s clearly reflected in the way people function.
They go about, day to day, striving to make incremental gains in their
performance. They repeat the same unnecessary routine which is the
pathway of conventional growth.

The good news is that life does not always have to operate in that
manner. In many areas of your life, you must reframe your beliefs and
think in terms of radical breakthroughs.

I’m here to tell you that you can make a series of radical breakthroughs from your present level of achievement to one that is several levels higher -- directly.

Are You Up For a Challenge?

It's been a fast, challenging and for some a painful year.

And, if you're tired of struggling with debt, fearful of the current economic crisis, and paralyzed by the pace of change, I've got a great way for you to take control of your future and finish the year off with a bang.

September 23rd is an important date as it marks the 100 day countdown of 2009. With that in mind, I want to thrown down a challenge, I want to provide you with an opportunity to redeem yourself and turn things around for the better and I mean much better.

You see, one thing we all have in common is that we all love a challenge!

For some it could be a goal that puts you to the test, an obstacle that says you can't beat me, a belief system that is begging for a breakthrough, or even a mountain that just dares you to climb it.

Whatever it is, you're attitude should be BRING IT ON, as there's nothing quite like a good old fashioned challenge to see what you're made, to push the boundaries and tests your limits as it is ONLY when we overcome these trials that we get to reap the sweetest rewards.

My colleague, Gary Ryan Blair, otherwise know as The Goals Guy has put together what I believe to be the most comprehensive approach to goal setting and performance enhancement.

Gary has been working with executives and employees at Coca-Cola, American Express, IBM, Starbucks, Time Warner, Disney, and many more teaching them exactly how set and reach their goals - if he can do it for them, he can do it for you.

Many of the top leaders in just about every field call on Gary when trying to develop and execute on certain goals. It is so much easier when you know HOW to create a workable plan, and can create accountability and that is where he excels.

Back to your goals and the challenge. Gary has created a powerful program that will show you how to make maximum performance gains in the shortest time possible. It is very effective and very affordable.

I think it is a no brainer if are serious about making changes and finishing the year strong than you simply must check out this program.

It's called the 100 Day Finish Strong Challenge and it begins on September 23rd, which just so happens to be the final 100 days of the year.

Learn more here:

It is a downloadable video and audio program where Gary literally coaches you towards achieving your goals -- the RIGHT WAY!

I recommend the program, I recommend that you download the Special Report, and more importantly I recommend Gary.

So make sure to go to The 100 Day Finish Strong Challenge at:

And put yourself and your family in the best possible position. Also, make sure to watch his video.

Don't Quit 


When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
