Prosperity For You

Take II - My Midlife Awakening

I know my posts have been few and far between on this blog lately but I have been asked to write an article for Rosa Say's Talking Story Blog to be included in her Joyful Jubilant Learning Forum 2006. 

My story kind of tells you why I haven't been posting much lately.  If you care to know you can read it here.

Take a minute to go on over and check it out.  There were 26 other authors that each wrote a post for the forum this month and they are all excellent. 

Have an awesome day!

You can achieve it!

No matter what it is that you want, you can achieve it.  I was thinking about this some more the other day and it dawned on my that we really can have whatever we want.  There is no limit to what the universe can bring to us.  If anyone else has been able to be, do or have something then we can have it too.  Anything is possible.

I think the problem lies in our own beliefs and actions.  Sometimes we really want something but don't believe we can have it or deserve it.  Maybe we feel like only the smart people or only the beautiful people deserve it.  That simply isn't true.

Other times we just don't stick with it long enough to see the fruits of our thoughts and labors.  I know this has happened to me before, on more than one occasion.  I get started on a project and then something happens to discourage me and I give up and start something new.  I didn't even give the first idea a chance.

I have learned from this lesson.  I now have two primary projects that I am working on and will continue to do so until I see the fruit I am looking for.

Take a look at your own life.  Have there been times when you gave up too soon?  Have you had the thoughts that you don't deserve to be wealthy or to be with the perfect mate.  Only you can change those thoughts.  Begin right now where you are.  Take note of the circumstances in your life so you can refer back to them a year from now.

You can achieve it!

Expecting a Miracle

When we were in Kansas City a couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of having dinner with John Jantsch of Duct Tape Marketing fame along with his wife and a dozen other people there for the weekend to learn to be Authorized Duct Tape Marketing Coaches.

One of the things that John said at dinner was that every day when he wakes up he expects a miracle.  That has stuck in my mind since I heard it.  It is a fantastic way to look at life.  It sets in motion the Law of Attraction and actually brings about the miracle that you are expecting.

Since we got back I have been focusing on this thought each morning - "God, what kind of miracle do you have for me today?"

Let me tell you that he hasn't let me down.  Each day something has happened that I totally didn't expect.  People are calling me out of the blue to buy software.  Deals that I thought were dead came back to life.  People are calling for upgrades each and every day.  All of this in a time that is traditionally pretty slow in our industry.

Try it for yourself.  Wake up each day expecting a miracle and when something happens be sure and write it down and give thanks for it.  You have just experienced a miracle!

Have an awesome day!

8 Practices to Better Manifestation

This morning I read a post over at StevePavlina.com called Disciplining Your Mind to Become Better at Manifesting.  In this article Steve explains eight practices he uses to control his mind and improve his ability to manifest the desires of his heart.  Take a minute to read the article now.  He is much better at explaining these practices than I could be.

Steve is clearly a student of the Law of Attraction.  Many of his thoughts and practices appear to be directly related to those of Abraham-Hicks.  As I have mentioned before, my wife and I learned of Abraham-Hicks about a year ago and it has transformed our lives.  We have improved relationships, made more money, and improved our health all as a result of focusing our attention on the things we want and not on the things we don't want.

Take some time right now to go read Steve's article.  It really can change your life.

A different perspective

Yesterday I talked about the impact on Americans of the rise in short term interest rates but I just want to make a simple point today.

If you will make it a priority to pay off all of your credit cards and only use them in an emergency, your life will not be affected as much by what the Federal Reserve, or anyone else for that matter, decides to do with interest rates.

Focus on one thing and do it well.

It became painfully obvious to me last week that I have too many balls in the air right now.  Although I enjoy doing all of the things I do, I realize that I just can't do them all and do them well.

It's important to ask yourself from time to time if what you are doing is getting you the results you desire.  If not, it's time to make some changes.

So, instead of having all the balls go tumbling to the ground, I am just going to gently lay some of them down.  The projects I am going to set aside for now are this Prosperity blog, the Daily Choices blog and The Prosperous Times Newsletter.

From this point forward I am actually going to focus on two things, my job as a software salesperson and our latest project, Holistic Healthcare Marketing Specialists, a marketing company we created to help providers of Complementary and Alternative Medicine promote their services.

I know that I will never realize the long-term wealth that I desire working for someone else.  I believe that the best way to achieve great wealth is to own your own company, whatever your field of expertise.  I know the owner of the company I work for realizes that too.

I will keep the blogs online because I really do want to get back to them and I may post from time to time on the Prosperity blog, but I'm not going to pressure myself to do it.

I want to thank each and every one of you for reading and I wish you every success you can imagine!

Have an awesome day!

Getting Back to the Basics

As we prepare to get back into presenting our Wealth Creation Workshop and other classes I am reminded that there are fundamental principles that need to be observed in order to establish any meaningful level of wealth.  These principles are encompassed in The Five Account System that our web site, this blog, and our newsletter, The Prosperous Times are based on.

This month in The Prosperous Times we will take a close look at The Five Account System and how it works.  If you would like to subscribe, click here.  We only send one email a month at the beginning of the month, so you won't be inundated with emails from us and we will never share your information.  So, sign up today and have the principles of building wealth delivered to your inbox each month.

The Sky's the Limit

"Whatever the mind of man can concieve and believe, he can achieve."  Napoleon Hill

Napoleon Hill was one of the first people to study the thinking and habits of the wealthy and document them so that others could emulate them and realize their own dreams.

Napoleon Hill believed, as I do, that if you have the seed of a desire within you, and you believe that you can realize it, you can.

Believing is a big part of it.  If you would like to live in a million dollar home but don't believe you could ever make enough money to make it happen, then it won't.

Another big part of succeeding is in the execution.  You can't give up.  If you want to go from Los Angeles to New York, you don't give up when you get to St. Louis and say "Oh, New York is impossible.  I'll never make it."  You have to keep your goals in mind and continue to press toward them and enjoy the journey along the way!

A Technique for Getting Anything You Want

I told you yesterday that I had a technique for you to use to get anything you want and desire.  It is called a "Dream Board".  The picture to the left is Ann's "Dream Board".  The picture is not that great, but you get the idea.

The "Dream Board" is very easy to create.  All you need is a piece of cardboard or poster board.  Then you will go through your favorite magazines and cut out pictures of the things you like and paste them to the board.  If you want to have a beautiful, fully decorated home then cut out pictures that match what you desire.  If you want to have a wonderful, happy relationship then cut out pictures of people who are having a good time and enjoying themselves.  If you want to be slim and trim, then cut out pictures of people who are fit and active and enjoying themselves.

Once you have created your own "Dream Board" put it where you can see it every day.  Sit for just a few minutes and imagine what life will be like when you have everything you dream of.  Before long those things will start to appear in your life.

Have an awesome day!

Keep Your Eyes on the Prize

What is it that you are working toward?  Are you a college student working toward a degree?  Are you working to be financially independent?  Are you dieting to get to a certain weight?

Don't get discouraged.  Keep your eyes focused squarely on the goal that you have set for yourself.

If you have a goal in mind but are having trouble imagining it, then break it down into smaller, more achievable goals and focus on those each step of the way.

You have to be able to connect with your goal in some way in order to fully realize it.

Tomorrow I will share with you a technique that Ann and I have both used to success.

Have a great day!
