God Wants You to be Prosperious…

August 14, 2007

Many times i run into people who are still crippled by the dis-empowering thoughts that being wealthy, prosperous or living in abundance is wrong. I saw a guy the other day with a tattoo of a hand holding a wad of cash and under it said “The root of all evil”. Unfortunately that poor guy has it ALL wrong…and he will NEVER have a lot of money (or at least he won’t earn it the right way) because his thoughts will sabotage him every time.

You can’t live or act in a manner that is inconsistent with your dominant beliefs. How the heck can you become wealthy if you believe the root of all evil comes from money? You can’t because subconsciously you’ll mind will not let you. You have to develop a good attitude and thoughts regarding money if you want to make a lot more of it.

Let me address one more common misconception. Many people also believe that making a lot of money “changes” people. As though money makes you evil…or changes you to bring out the worst in a person. It makes them do things they wouldn’t normally do. That is completely incorrect. …and if that has happened to you or someone you know, here’s the truth and a wake up call.

“Money simply brings out more of the true character of a person”

If you’re a loving, giving and good hearted person than more money will only bring out more of that in you. BUT if you’re a selfish, prideful and egotistical moron..than that is what money will bring out of you. It’s really simply a “character enhancer”. The wake up call is that if you didn’t know you were a very selfish or prideful person and you got an increase in money and it “changed” the way you act…well let that serve as a chance for you to work on your heart because it’s not where it’s supposed to be. It’s time you start reading, listening to, watching and hanging out with better people and things.

Now for the title of this post…of course God wants you to be wealthy and to have your cup overflowong, BUT he only wants it if you can handle it. If you can’t hang in character than you’re not qualified. It starts with the internal.

“every branch that bears fruit he prunes that it may bear more fruit” ~ John 15:2 “By this my father in heaven is glorified that you bear much fruit so you will be my diciples” John 15:8

God want good stewards to raise up to make a difference in the world. Are you going to be one of them?

Live or Die by Your Programming…

August 11, 2007

As we discussed earlier your success must be defined by you. This becomes your purpose or your “why” in life. Once you have it defined the first ingredient you must possess in the attainment process is to have a “burning desire” and “relentless commitment” to its achievement.

Without desire and commitment fueling your success adventure you might as well just throw in the towel now because you’ll never achieve anything worthwhile without it. This is what gets you through in the trenches of life where most people fold and quit.

You see I believe firmly that “Freedom is worth fighting for” because you and I were created to live in liberty (Gal 5:13). Deep down nobody wants to have other people or things controlling them. We all desire freedom.

One of the coolest things about a state of freedom is your ability to live your divine purpose in life. The point of freedom is not to just do nothing, but to create a way to benefit others by doing what you truly enjoy.  (you can visit
www.Net-Marketing-Secrets.com
to learn more.)

You were not created to do things all day long that you “dislike”.  You have been given interests, inspired opinions, skills and talents to be used to benefit others. This is where you’ll most likely make your best money and definitely enjoy yourself and life the most.

Ok, so back to the first of the success ingredients desire and commitment…

Some people seem to naturally have desire and or commitment while others seem bankrupt in those departments. I’m often asked why? ..or how do I get them?

Let’s start with desire. Through experience the only way I’ve found to increase desire level is to have you understand “programming”. The computer was invented based upon the human mind and what ever is programmed into a computer is what comes out of that computer.

It’s the same with us. Desire and commitment level to a large degree are determined by what you are programming into your mind. Every single thing you do from the people you hang with, to the movies you watch, the music you listen to, the sermons you hear, the seminars you attend or listen to on CD, and the books you read all count as programming.

“Everything that goes into your mind right now is programming your future”!

If you want to get fired up about your life and raise your desire and commitment levels simply Control or Filter what goes into your mind.

Basically limit the negative input and greatly increase the positive and empowering stuff and you will be doing success back flips of excitement every morning as your new programming starts to kick in and begin working.   It takes some time so you have got to hang in there at the start which brings to how to stay committed.

We go into this a lot more in =>
www.FitnessForSuccess.com

I’m going to give you an amazing commitment secret in the next email but for now understand this… “commitment doesn’t even start until you don’t want to do something”.

Most people are led by their emotions and therefore never stay consistent. When I do fitness coaching and I’m training someone to work with weights I explain this as key ==> The secret is to “ignore you emotions”, especially in the beginning because they will tell you to stop.

“Let your schedule lead you, NOT your emotions”. It doesn’t matter if you feel like working out or not, if your planner says Tuesday at 3PM it’s time to train…you have to show up to do it. NO EXCUSES you absolutely must honor your self promise, it’s vital.

Simply put.. toughen up, man up, woman up. Stop being a sissy and get a little pissed off sometimes. Remember “Freedom is worth fighting for”. The enimy comes to steal, kill and destroy YOUR POTENTIAL. He’s out to rob from your future!!!!
 
Start putting empowerment into your mind everyday and watch the transformation in your life. The bible states that we are to “focus and meditate” on GOOD things. Start choosing your programming right now…

Elevate Your Level Of Consciousness!!

August 5, 2007

One thing that is imperative yet rarely talked about in business circles is understanding and raising your level of consciousness. This is key in leadership and business success.

Consciousness is similar to awareness. When you are unconscious you are unaware of what is going on. It’s possible to be right in the middle of somewhere and have no clue what’s going on around you.

Conceptual understanding is the ability to see “the big picture”. It means you’re consciously aware of the truth of how things are and what’s going on. You can “see and understand” many different facets at once.

To increase your consciousness is to gain a higher level of conceptual vision and understanding. It’s the ultimate character building. It’s getting closer and closer to absolute truth and understanding.

One of your constant goals should be to elevate your level of consciousness.

IN John Maxwell’s book the 21 irrefutable laws of leadership he talks about the law of the lid. This means that it is very hard (almost impossible) to lead someone else who is at a higher level of leadership than yourself.

I would say that you could lead someone who is more talented and has more skills than you. You can lead others who are smarter than you, so you don’t have to be the smartest…phew that’s good news!! Henry Ford understood this and simply hired smarter people in all the areas of his business because he had a higher level of consciousness.

In my experience it is very hard to be lead by someone who has a lower level of consciousness than you. ON the flip side it’s almost impossible to lead someone who has a higher level of consciousness than you. That’s what I would call the law of the lid.

There is some food for thought for you.
Until next time…I’m signing off

ATTITUDE Plays a Huge Role in Attaining Success And Living The Life of Your Dreams

August 1, 2007

The first step in the road to success lies within the importance of our attitudes. Our Attitudes and thoughts dictate our future for better or worse. The wrong attitude is probably the cause of more failure then any other principle, philosophy or strategy.
 
So before you think about the secrets that will lead you down the road of prosperity, happiness and wealth, let me say this… You must first cover subject of attitude or face the fact that you will never have what you truly want. On that note; we all must make a choice to either go after the lifestyle we truly desire or remain were we are.

Attitude is a choice. It’s your choice. It is not based upon feelings it’s strictly a mental thing. Attitude is a mental position toward a particular fact, state or situation. Again that means that you have control over it. Sometimes you can’t change a situation, but you have control over how you react to it. We all do.

The fact that you are happy, joyful and excited or sad, depressed and angry is a direct result of the attitude that you have chosen to take at that time. It’s not like you have to be in that mood. You really have just chosen to be. It’s not too complicated.
 
It took me a long time to figure this out for myself. But know I can honestly say that it is 100% true. Every time I am in the state of having a bad attitude it’s because I choose to dwell on something that I should not have instead of focusing on the solution or reframing it to find something positive within.
 
Now obviously there are some things that occur in life that will cause it to be more difficult to control but the key is not to stay in bad places too long.
 
Here’s why…
 
“As a man (or person) thinketh in his heart so is he”. Basically this means that our thoughts (or attitude) are what determine our future. You have the power to create or destroy your own future based upon your thoughts.
 
So have a great attitude and think big…
 
I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty score.

For life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.

I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have surely paid.
 
The bottom line is whether we believe we can or believe we can’t, we’re right. In order to receive we must first ask and then believe that it’s possible.  You must believe that you can have an abundance of money, have a great marriage, be the best parent.. or that you can actually create any lifestyle that you desire.
 
The truth is…”You are in control of your future the minute you choose to be and you can create absolutely anything you truly desire to as long as you start with attitude.”

Attitude
by Chuck Swindoll

“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our attitudes.”

Do not allow what other people say or do to dictate your attitude. People will with out even realizing it try and bring you down. You have to fight against it. The statement that misery loves company is more often than not a true statement. It’s not always the person’s fault that they are disrupting you because they are not aware of it, but you need to be so that you can knowingly choose to remain in the right mindset.

A miserable person or even someone who just happens to be in a bad mood (we’re all guilty of this sometimes) will try to identify with you by bringing you into their negative mental state. They don’t purposely do it, it’s just a reflection of their inability to control their attitude at that time. Don’t allow others to steal your dreams and literally destroy your future by associating with negative people.
