--

Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu,
Happy Birrrrthday Dear Robert,
Happy Birrrrthday to Youuuu!

A few years back, not so long ago, heaven and earth erupted into a major celebration with the news of your impending adventure into this very time and space. You see, someone like Robert Short doesn't come along all that often. In fact, there's never been a single one like you, nor is there ever ANY possibility that another will come again. You're an Angel among us. Someone, whose eyes see what no others will EVER see, whose ears hear what no others will EVER hear, and whose perspective and feelings will NEVER, ever be duplicated. Without YOU, the Universe, and ALL THAT IS, would be sadly less than it is.

Quite simply:

You're the kind of person, Robert,
Who's hard to forget,
A one-in-a-million
To the people you've met.
Your friends are as varied
As the places you go,
And they all want to tell you
In case you don't know:
That you make a big difference
In the lives that you touch,
By taking so little
And giving so much!

Robert, you are so AWESOME! For your birthday, friends and angels from every corner of the Universe, including buddies you didn't know you had, will be with you to wish you the HAPPIEST of days and an exciting new year in time and space. You won't be alone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Robert!

What To Do When Trying Harder Isn't Enough by C.S. Hughes

2011-03-23T07:43:00.000-04:00

A fly is buzzing around in my home, franticly looking for an escape. He can see the outside world through the window and smashes his whole body into the glass trying to make his get away. It didn't work, so he tries again, and again, and again. I tire of watching him, and walk away. Hours later I return, and there he is, still bashing his head against the window. How futile, I think to myself. And I leave him.

The next day I pass by the window again. The buzzing has stopped.
I notice him laying lifeless in the window sill. He spent the final season of his life, the best he had, trying harder at something that clearly wasn't working. His goal of freedom was noble, but his approach was unavailing.

When my children fail at something or aren't getting the immediate results they want, and begin to complain, I'll have them recite with me, "If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, again. Don't give up too easily, persistence pays off in the end." I'm a big believer in the power of persistence. However, persistence has it's limitations. The fly trying harder to break through the window is an example. And there are many others...

I have a friend who has been laid off several times in the last three years. He went from earning more than $100,000 a year to less than $40,000. Each time he was laid off, he went right back to looking for another job. Each time he found work, he was soon laid off again. Like the fly, he too, continues to bash his head on the window of employment, and still has not found freedom.

Albert Einstein calls this insanity; doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. The fly in my home, my friend and so many others like him, continue to do the same thing over and over, and over, expecting that somehow, things are going to change and get better.

I learned years ago, that in order to experience something you've never experienced, you've got to try something you've never done. For 27 years of my life, like the fly, I used my body to forge my escape. I cleaned used appliances, roofed houses, painted curbs, washed cars, mowed lawns and waited tables. One day I realized the body wasn't doing the trick and I decided, for the first time in my life, to use my mind to pave my path to freedom.

Archibald MacLeish said, "The only thing about a man that is a man...is his mind. Everything else you can find in a pig or a horse." If you are not using the higher faculties of your mind to craft creative solutions to your challenges, you will be no better off than a pig, or a horse, or a fly in a window.

You have the power to see, do, and accomplish anything you desire. If you've been trying hard and trying hard is not working, may I suggest a different approach? Think. Really think. Don't remember. Because remembering isn't thinking. And don't worry. Because worrying isn't thinking. Think. Really think. Write down your new ideas and take new actions, and then think some more. In this process, you will find solutions for your challenges and a far more effective route to freedom and success.

You can. Your choice.

Who is smarter?

"Humans think they are smarter than dolphins because we build cars and buildings and start wars etc., and all that dolphins do is swim in the water, eat fish and play around. Dolphins believe that they are smarter for exactly the same reasons."

Persist through adversity and disappointment

2011-03-10T16:59:00.000-05:00

"The courage to persist in the face of adversity and disappointment is the one quality that, more than anything, will guarantee your success.

A Word About Habits

"The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might of the force of habit and must understand that practices are what create habits.

The Prayer of Protection

2011-01-17T08:54:00.001-05:00

The Light of God Surrounds You
The Love of God Enfolds You
The Power of God Protects You
The Presence of God Watches Over You
Where You Are, Now and Forevermore, God Is

The Prayer of Protection - brought to you by Mary Morrissey

Note: Reciting any affirmation or prayer without injecting emotion and feeling into the words will have much less impact than truly being present and emotionalizing the words. As you read the prayer above, feel the warmth of the light of God's love. Feel His presence with you and around you. Imagine him being in and about everything you encounter and the prayer will become real in your life.

Who do you appreciate?

2011-01-11T07:49:00.002-05:00

"The best way to keep relationships happy, healthy, and supportive can be summed up in one word: appreciation. What you appreciate, appreciates. When we demonstrate our appreciation for the support we receive from others, it reinforces that behavior and deepens our connection to them."

Love is all that matters

2011-01-10T08:49:00.000-05:00

Life introduces challenges from time-to-time but remember that Love is the only truth, the only thing that really matters.

Strengthen that "why"

2011-01-06T13:47:00.001-05:00

Arnold Schwarzenegger said that "Drive" is the method for his great achievements as a bodybuilder and Hollywood actor.

Because thoughts are things, all success starts with a single idea. To cultivate and nurture these thoughts into the things we want them to become, we must have a very strong reason to go after this success.  I say it and hear it a lot in my business, "If your why doesn't make you cry, it's not strong enough."   Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich refers to it as a "burning desire."

So how do we get a burning desire? How do we make this why a driving force?
I have read a lot on the need for it, but not the how. You see, I live a pretty good life. And it gets better and better every day. So I must continually improve my why to keep stoking that fire and keep the desire burning.

Some steps you can take to stoke your fire of desire, increase the quality of your why follow:

Start with the goals you've set for yourself. It is imperative to have goals and I'll cover that in a separate blog post. Are you truly committed are you to achieving your goals? Under what circumstances would you stop taking the required action to achieve them? If you can list anything that would stop you, your desire is NOT strong enough.

Once you set your intention to the universe, the universe will bring all necessary conditions into your life to get you there.  A lot of these conditions are ones that you must simply go through on the way to your goal. And these things may or may not have anything to do with the goal. Perhaps there is something in the way of personal growth you must achieve first.

So how do we significantly increase our desire to achieve these goals? You can achieve the level of certainty that you will never ever ever give up on your goals by taking a few preliminary actions. You can want your goals so much that quitting is simply not an option.

How? change your environment in ways that will strengthen your resolve and commitment while eliminating ALL doubt. If you take the time to do it right, you will absolutely establish a positive feedback cycle that will continue to increase your resolve each and every day.

Step 1: Burn your Ships
You may have heard this expression but what does it truly mean? The expression "burn your ships" comes from the Spanish Conquistador and Explorer Hernando Cortes who instructed his men to remove everything from their ships once they arrived from Spain and literally burn their ships so they had absolutely no option but to conquer the land. I encourage you to read more on this incredible leader.

If we have safety nets in place we end up letting them pacify us and actually keep us from achieving our gols. As an example, if your goal is to be a successful entrepreneur in your own business, and you maintain a good-paying job, you need to get yourself to the position where you can walk away from your job as quickly as possible so you can persue your opportunity full-time. Here's a great idea I read recently; write a letter of resignation addressed to your boss, put it in a stamped envelope and give it to a trusted friend with firm instructions to mail the letter on a certain date in say 60 or 90-days. Now get to work and focus on your goals. That letter IS going out on that date. Period! You ARE quitting your job. How is that for a fire under your desire? If you don't write that letter, your sub-conscious does not believe you are serious. That's it! Do it now!

2. Visualize and emotionalize your next big step towards your goal.

If your goal is to reach the next level in your business, create visualizations of what it will feel like to be at that level. If your goal is to lose 20 pounds, put sticky notes all over your house that read "I an so happy and gratefulnow that I weigh x pounds." Now go find pictures in magazines that represent about the body you are aiming for, paste your face on that photo, and place it where you can see it all the time. Move it around every day or two so it stays close and fresh! Put pictures of good foods and correct portion sizes all around you and imagine how good you feel at your new weight.   Put you r"big" plates away and eat off of the small ones.

If this were a business goal, imagine your business bank account with your target income deposited into it (You can screen print your back statement and paste in the target amounts.) Imagine and visualize the customer and business partner count needed to meet your goals. Put up org charts with your team structure.

3. Surround yourself with positive and growth-oriented people.
It's been said that we are only as good as the people we associate with. Have you ever been around a person whose life is always terrible? They got up late, the water heater didn't work so they had to take a cold shower, the car wouldn't start, the bus was late, the coffee was terrible and they tripped on the doorway threshold? Seriously, people are creating their own realities and these events are simply reflections of their true thoughts. Recommend to this person the book Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Living Your Dreams, or buy it for them and GET OUTA' THERE! Go find someone who woke up early, excited, had a great workout at the gym, watched the beautiful sunrise, got five new customers in their business by 10AM and took the rest of the day off to read personal growth books at the beach. Seriously, you will be a better person and the will lift you up. It's awesome! If you cannot find people like this anywhere, join me in my business and I'll be one of them and those I work with will be more. Do whatever it takes to fire the negative people and get good positive people in your life. Even if you were friends with the negative person for a long time, if they won't at least meet you half-way by being quiet about anything negative and reading a good book to help them become a better person, fire them. Seriously. You will never expand beyond "their" influence on you.

4. Feed your mind daily with personal-growth materials and success stories in your field.
I am always looking for something new to read or listen to. I am always asking the leaders in my organization "what are you reading?" and "what topics are you studying right now? Find other people in trade magazines from your industry that are having incredible success.

5. Replace all sources of negativity with positive energy
Start with a current inventory of what you are letting in your mind. Are you gossiping about the co-worker at the office? Are you watching or listening to political talk-show nonsense? Do you follow the morning news every day? Who was killed overnight? What tragedy occurred? What mess is brewing? Come on--enough already! Take control of this stuff. You cannot populate your mind with this stuff and still remain a good person.

look around your house. Is it clean and organized? How can you have a clear and organized mind if you can't walk across the room from all the clutter? Clean it up! And while your cleaning it, listen to a great Audiobook from one of today's top personal growth leaders... Brian Tracy, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Rhonda Byrne, Mike Dooley... find something good. (Check out my recommendations to the left)

6. Dress for success.
Clean out some space in your closet. Clothes you don't fit into NOW. Clothes that you never wear. Now go out and get a couple new pieces of clothing that make you feel great. Splurge, spend a few buck and go get it! You are worth it. Get some nice shoes and accessories to match it. Now wear these new clothes and your best clothes, every single day. Be the image of the person you want to be by wearing the clothes of the person you want to be. Unemployed? No problem, dress your best with what you do have in your closet. Feel good about what you are wearing and how you look. That alone will carry you a long way each day!

What about a manicure or pedicure, perhaps a massage. Maybe you could change your hair style to something more professional and confident. Get a new pair of eyeglasses that represent the person you want to be. Does your watch and jewelry represent the person you want to be?

Now, every chance you get, hold your shoulders up high, smile and look at yourself in the mirror. Do this often. Remind yourself to emanate confidence and poise.

8. Take immediate action.
Every evening write down your immediate short term goal and five necessary action steps to achieve the goal. Going to the drycleaner or shopping at the mall is not a goal-oriented action step. You know what they are. Write them down. Now put a number 1 next to the most important, 2 next to the next important and so on.

Then, every morning, after your daily ritual of dressing for success, nourishment, personal enrichment and any other routines you have... begin working on your number 1 activity until it is completed. Do the best you can. Stay focused and keep pushing yourself until it's done. Turn the phone, TV, radio, computer, whatever might distract you, OFF and do that goal-oriented action task. DO IT! I know your computer is still on. Stop text messaging for a minute already! Now, move on to your goal-oriented action task 2 ONLY AFTER task one is completed or completely exhausted for the day. Then repeat the process through your FIVE goal-oriented action tasks.

Take a ten-minute break every hour (at least) but GET BACK TO IT. Limit yourself to 10 minutes off. After lunch, get back to your goal-oriented action tasks task list and pick up where you left off. Persist! Then finish your day by planning tomorrow and repeating this process. Feel yourself as one full step closer to your goal.. go on, cliose your eyes, feel it. And give thanks for everything you have now, everything you accomplished today, and everything that is happening in your life.

That's it, you are well on your way to the life you deserve. You have to believe it now. You have to know that you have the white-hot fire burining under your desire. You are absolutely experiencing the life of your dreams. It's that simple. You now have all the keys to become that driven person you want to be.

With Love,

Robert

Book: The Go-Giver

2011-01-02T11:52:00.004-05:00

This book is a must read:

The Go-Giver
Author: Bob Burg & John David Mann

The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes he feels as if the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. And so one day,
desperate to land a key sale at the end of a bad quarter, he seeks advice from the enigmatic Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to by his many devotees simply as the Chairman.

Over the next week, Pindar introduces Joe to a series of successful “go-givers”: a restaurateur, a CEO, a financial advisor, a real estate broker and “The Connector,” who brought them all together. Pindar’s friends share with Joe the Five Laws of Stratospheric Success and teach him how to open himself up to the power of giving.

Joe learns that changing his focus from getting to giving—putting others’ interests first and continually adding value to their lives—ultimately leads to unexpected returns.

Imparted with wit and grace, The Go-Giver is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that brings new relevance to the old proverb “give and you shall receive.”

Why

2010-12-31T05:00:00.002-05:00

A Compelling "Why" by Denis Waitley

I have a suitcase for you. In that suitcase there is $1 million in cash. The suitcase is sitting in a building that is about an hour’s drive from where you are now.

Here is the deal: All you have to do is...
get to this building in the next two hours. If you get there before the end of the two hours, I will hand you the suitcase, and you will be a million dollars richer.

There is one catch, however. If you are even one second late, our deal is off, and you will not get a dime. No exceptions! With that in mind, what time would you like to leave?

Most people would respond to that scenario by saying that they would leave right now. Wouldn’t you?

So off you go. You jump into your car and start driving for the building. You are excited and are already starting to plan how you are going to spend your million dollars. Then, suddenly, the traffic comes to a complete stop. You turn on the radio and find that there has been a series of freak accidents between you and the building and there is no way to get there!

Now what would you do? Would you give up and go back home? Or would you get out of your car and walk, run, hire a helicopter, or find some other way of getting to the building on time?

Now let’s suppose for a minute that you are driving to an appointment at your dentist’s office. The traffic again comes to a stop. Amazingly, there have been freak accidents between you and your dentist’s office. What would you do then? Probably give up, go home, and reschedule!

What is the difference between these two situations? It all comes down to why. If the why is big enough; the how is usually not a problem. This compelling why is connected to your personal objectives, mission statement, or magnificent obsessions. It is the basis of your motivational support beam. Truly motivated people are able to identify and tap into the power of a compelling why in everything they do.

It is time to sit down and take inventory of yourself!

Self Inventory: 28 Questions You Should Answer
Annual self-analysis is essential in effectively marketing yourself, just the same as annual inventory is essential in retail.

In particular, the yearly analysis should disclose a decrease in faults, and an increase in strengths. One can either go ahead, or go backward in life. The objective should be, of course, to go ahead. Annual self-analysis will disclose whether progress has been made, and if so, how much. It will also disclose any backward steps one may have taken. The effective marketing of personal services requires that you move forward even if the progress is slow.

An optimal time for your annual self-analysis is the end of each year, so you can include in your New Year’s Resolutions any improvements the results of the analysis indicate should be made. Take this inventory by asking yourself the following questions, and by checking your answers with the help of someone who will not allow you to deceive yourself as to their accuracy.

Take your inventory NOW from the list provided by Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich. It has been provided for you here: www.practicaldreamersread.com

Are you a Shark, Whale, Dolphin, or Urchin

2010-12-19T08:59:00.001-05:00

I was at a company leadership training last weekend and I learned about relating people to Sharks, Whales, Dolphins and Urchins. Let me explain:

A Shark is someone who is highly motivated by money, freedom, and recognition. He or she can take a lot, has a "thick skin," is ambitious and aggressive. The shark is not interested in the details, usually impatient and may come off as abrasive. They dress sharp and drive expensive cars. They wear high-end designer clothes and jewelry.

The Whale is more motivated by helping and serving others. He or she would love to change the world if given the opportunity. They are very compassionate, patient, kind and thoughtful. They are less interested in how fast something gets done (lacking urgency) but rather how well it is done and how it serves the greater good. These people are often shy or timid and can be emotional; wearing their emotions on their sleeves so-to-speak. They dress to blend in, very conservative and earth tones.

Next, there is the Dolphin. My friend Jim is definitely one of these. He is motivated by anything social, fun and exciting. The dolphin-type is popular and has a lot of friends and acquaintances. He or she is very outgoing and charismatic. On the downside, they are late for everything, very disorganized and don't have the attention span for too many details. They wear trendy clothes, often bright colors and can be very conspicuous in a crowd.

Then, and finally, there is the Urchin. I have a lot of this in my personality. I am highly motivated by technology, market timing and being efficient. I like to be prepared (fully and sometimes over-prepared) and everything must be in it's place (organized). I want all the details, even those I shouldn't care about, just to have all the facts in case I need them. This may cause me to lose focus on the big picture, the long-term vision. It holds me back as I am afraid to take an action because I am not certain I am 100% prepared. The urchin-type also overloads others with too much detail or information. This person tends to dress neatly and organized. He or she will have a pen on them most of the time and prefers comfortable clothing over fashion.

Now to be fair, we all have some of each of these qualities in us. There are usually one or two which are dominant (my other Strong type is whale). For the types you find yourself weak in, you should practice and develop those by facing the fear of doing what that type of person does, be it wearing more trendy clothes or stop over-analyzing something and taking the necessary action, even without all the facts.

Oh God, Forgive me when I Whine

2010-12-09T13:45:00.000-05:00

Today upon a bus, I saw
A lovely maid with golden hair;
I envied her - she seemed so gay -
And oh, I wished I were so fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle,
She had one foot and wore a crutch,
But as she passed, a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two feet - the world is mine.

And when I stopped to buy some sweets,
The lad who served me had such charm;
He seemed to radiate good cheer,
His manner was so kind and warm.
I said, "It's nice to deal with you,
Such courtesy I seldom find."
He turned and said, "Oh, thank you, sir!"
And I saw that he was blind.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two eyes - the world is mine.

Then, when walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play;
It seemed he knew not what to do,
I stopped a moment, then I said:
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word,
And then I knew; He could not hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine;
I have two ears - the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I'd go,
With eyes to see the sunset's glow,
With ears to hear what I should know:
I'm blessed indeed, The world is mine;
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.

...here and now!

2010-04-20T14:44:00.000-04:00

To allow the Universe to move you in your life to happier and better things, you are going to need to look around you and appreciate the good things here and now. Seek the beautiful things and count the blessings of where you are. Dissatisfaction will not bring the happier and the better into your life. Dissatisfaction roots you to the spot where you currently are, but appreciation for what you have attracts the happier and better to you.

Remember that you are a magnet! Appreciation attracts appreciation!

Rhonda Byrne

Are you passionate about what you DON'T want?

2010-04-13T09:53:00.001-04:00

"Most people don't realize how much passion they put into what they don't want. When you speak to a friend and you tell them all about an "awful" situation, you are putting passion into what you don't want. When you react to an event negatively, with the response that it is "terrible", you are putting passion into what you don't want. You are a beautiful passionate being, so make sure you direct your passion wisely."

Rhonda Byrne

Whatever has happened is over!

2010-04-08T09:30:00.001-04:00

"There is nothing more damaging to your future potential than spending your present dwelling on the past. Whatever has happened is over. Glory or defeat, once the clock struck midnight, the day was done. You are reborn each morning, and who you are each day is defined by what you do that day and that day only. What did you do today to define your existence?" Darren Hardy

How long...

2010-04-05T08:58:00.001-04:00

How long should a baby try to learn how to walk? How long would you give the average baby before you say, “That’s it, you’ve had your chance”? You say that’s crazy? Of course it is. Any mother would say, “My baby is going to keep trying until he learns how to walk!” No wonder everyone walks.

There is a vital lesson in this. Ask yourself, “How long am I going to work to make my dreams come true?” I suggest you answer, “As long as it takes.”

-Jim Rohn, from his article The Four Emotions That Can Lead to Life Change

Nurture your mind...

Personal Relationships Matter

2010-02-15T05:55:00.000-05:00

Your close relationships are either a catalyst for manifesting what you really want, or they're a hindrance to your manifestation. If you truly value the power of love in your life, you owe it to yourself to discover how to tap into the power of your relationship as a force for manifestation."

The Woman Behind the Counter

2010-02-05T11:11:00.002-05:00

The other day I was in the Phoenix Airport on my way to a meeting in Denver. Unsure of how long it would take to get the car parked, get the luggage checked, get through the security line...
and get to our gate, we (my husband Michael and I) ended up at the airport early. Once we parked our belongings at the gate, I did what I always do when I'm early to the airport; I headed toward the News Stand for the sole purpose of staring at the tabloid magazine covers. Yes, I know, it's a nasty habit, but before you cast your stones, I should tell you I only allow myself to read the COVERS of the magazines. JUST the covers. And even in those few moments I can feel my brain cells rotting and my dislike for humanity mounting.

However, on this particular trip to the News Stand I witnessed something much more fascinating, and disturbing, than any tabloid could offer.

In this particular News Stand there was a friendly looking gentleman. He had a pleasant face th at was graced with a cheerful smile. He and I were hovering in the same area; I was looking at the magazines, he was looking at the Snickers bars. Though, "looking" wouldn't be the right word -- "agonizing over" would be a better way of putting it. You see, this friendly-seeming man was about 200 pounds from healthy. As we stood silently by each other, I could hear him as he struggled to breathe, and watch him shift uncomfortably from foot to foot as he worked his way down the candy display.

I watched him out of the corner of my eye as he picked up a regular sized Snickers with his right hand and a KING sized Snickers with his left. He looked at his two options, back and forth, back and forth. He rolled them around in his hands, crinkled their wrappers, contemplating his decision. After at least a minute, he reached to put the regular sized one back ... a shame, I thought. He was so close.

But then, like a flash of lightening from above, at the very last moment , he THREW the KING sized Snickers back. It landed atop the gum with a deafening THUD. The man turned and looked at me with regular Snickers in his hand. Gripped it tightly, shrugged, and smiled.

For a moment, I saw a glimpse of pride on his face; the kind of pride that comes from taking control of your life. Granted, it wasn't the BEST decision, but it WAS a step in the right direction and it was clear he was pleased with himself. I smiled back and nodded; a silent congratulations for a job well done.

He took his regular sized Snickers strutted to the register where a 50ish woman waited. She was friendly in an abrasive sort of way, and as I moved to look at the cover of Men's Health I heard her say to the man (who was still in the glow of his recent victory):

"Sure you don't want the KING sized Snickers? Looks awful good..."

The man who had just made a good decision, froze. He stared at the woman behind the counter. In that moment, it was as if t he Phoenix Airport stopped.... As he stared at the abrasive woman behind the counter, I stared at him. The woman reached for the KING sized and waved it in front of his face. "Don't do it. Don't do it," I willed him. But in the next moment, he nodded, took the KING sized Snickers, paid, and slowly walked away.

I wanted to say something, but it wasn't my place. As he walked past, he didn't look my way, instead he looked to the ground and to the KING sized decision he held in his hand.

Now, it would be easy to blame the woman behind the counter for the demise of our Snicker loving friend. She didn't HAVE to offer him the KING size when he seemed to be perfectly content. However, it is not her fault; she was only doing her job (I swear they get paid on commission -- every time I try to buy a magazi... I mean, a pack of gum... they always ask if I would like water or a snack. It can't JUST be because they're really concerned for my hydration or hunger). No, the responsibility lies solely in the man who ultimately made the choice.

We relate to this man. Whether you struggle with your weight, or you struggle to make good financial decisions. Maybe you make poor decisions, of any size, in your personal relationships. Whatever your vice may be (and there may be many), we have all been here before; on the brink of a breakthrough, only to fall short with no one to blame but ourselves. Whether you've been there once or been there 100 times, there is an important lesson to learn here; one that may not be the most obvious.

Who you are now does not determine who you will be.

I'll say it again. Who you are now does not determine who you will be.

Sounds nice, right? Easy lesson, nice lesson, hopeful lesson. The catch is this: you have to MAKE it so. The difference between who you are NOW and who you will BE happens because of choice. It doesn't have to be a heroic choice, it can be small/consistent choices made everyda y in the right direction, that make the difference. But they MUST be made and can only be made by you.

How do you do this?

First: start seeing yourself NOW as the person you will BE. If you're broke, start seeing yourself as un-broke. If you're alone, see yourself wrapped in the warmth of a healthy relationship. If you're heavier than you would like to be, see yourself thin.

Second: It is not enough to just SEE yourself there, you must start behaving in a way that mirrors the behaviors of the kind of person you will become. Un-broke people make sound decisions when it comes to finances -- do that now. Healthy people find joy in salads and low-fat dressing -- you should too.

Third: Stay focused. There is a good chance that others will continue to see you as you are now, and that's ok. It's not their fault. They may not be aware that you have made a decision to change; not aware that you are making small consistent decisions toward the person you wa nt to become. They may not SEE those small decisions or REALIZE what they are adding up to. Stay focused on YOU. On YOUR vision for yourself. And don't be afraid to verbalize your desires to those around you so they can aid in your transformation.

This is where I believe our friend at the candy counter went astray:

Perhaps he was seeing himself not as who he IS, but who he could BE -- well, healthy, happy...

I KNOW he was making a small decision in the right direction...

But when he got to the counter, the abrasive woman saw him as he WAS: a man who "must" love KING sizes. And instead of staying focused, instead of standing as a warrior for his future-self, he crumbled with the words "I will always be this" ringing in his defeated ears.

We all relate to this story. We have all been there. I just urge you to not go there again. Fight for you future self, and beware the woman behind the counter.

When all was said and done, I walked out of the News Stand empty-handed and heavy hearted. I took my seat at Gate C27 and waited for our plane to arrive.

(Post Note: Michael ended up sitting next to this man on the plane. When I told Michael this story, looong after the flight, he said, "That makes it worse ... he was such a nice guy.")

Trump says "Being a leader means being prepared"

2010-01-27T13:51:00.005-05:00

"My best advice today for young people starting their careers is to be globally aware. This requires a daily discipline of keeping up with worldwide events, as well as national and local events. You must know what's going on in the world...
to be an effective member of the world. My father always said to me, "Know everything you can about what you're doing" and I have followed his advice.

Being a leader means being prepared. That also means being prepared to never give up. Being tenacious with your goals is absolutely necessary. Great success rarely comes easily. Even today I encounter problems every day, but I remain positive, disciplined and focused. Approach every day that way and it's likely you will succeed. Adversity is very often an opportunity in disguise.

I am listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the biggest financial turnaround in history. I owed billions of dollars in the early 1990's and many people thought I was finished. Even the newspapers were announcing my demise. The difference is that I didn't believe I was finished for one second, no matter what people thought. I simply refused to give in to negative circumstances and I kept working. In short, I refused to give up. I am now far more successful than I ever was.

The world is a big place. Think accordingly, be prepared, and never give up. That's a great combination for success. Work hard and good luck."

Are You Tending to Your Garden?

2010-01-12T12:33:00.003-05:00

Whatever you do in life, whatever you think you know, you still need training and support to truly elevate you to the next level. I just spent the weekend in Las Vegas in my teams leadership training and it was phenomenal. If there is but one significant thing you can do for your business, hang out with those who are already successful. Follow them, learn from them. Understand what their dreams are and how it is possible to attract whatever you want into your life. Visualize yourself in their position, able to control your time and money. Visualize yourself achieving your why as I talk about in my book, Be the Boss. Stop holding yourself back by settling for the norms... for the mundane. Don't be average. We all have seeds of greatness in us that must be watered and fertilized to become a reality. Most people don't tend their "Garden of Greatness" and instead let the "weeds" stifle their greatness and hold them back. It's up to you, make the decision today to grow and learn and become more.

Where will YOU be in 7-Years

2009-12-29T14:07:00.002-05:00

"7-years ago I found myself unemployed and 90 days away from bankruptcy. I needed to do something FAST !. I started to look for a JOB but everything payed me a fraction of what I was earning before. ARGHH !!!! I was frustrated and mad because I was sooo limited in my capacity to earn a good living...

I recalled the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" and went back to read it again. The first time I read it, I thought it was inspiring and enlightening. This time, I needed ANSWERS as to why, after 10 yrs of College and 15 yrs in Corporate America, I was still struggling for financial survival. Why were ALL of my friends trapped in the struggle for financial freedom?. Reading the book again, almost everything Robert Kiyosaki wrote about hit me like a ton of bricks... "studying" the principles and philosophies explained in this book, caused 2003 to become my breakthrough year !!!

Here are a few of the ideas that became the "mental" breakthroughs I had on that fateful beginning of 2003:

1) The Rich do not work for money. They work to build Assets (Mainly real estate and businesses). The poor and middle class work for a paycheck and then spend it on depreciating assets (TVs, cars, etc...)

2) The Rich become rich in their spare time. Think of how Bill Gates started his business from his dorm while going to school.

3) The Rich Build Networks. Everyone else is trained to look for work. The Rich leverage their time, their money, and their efforts. Everything that is Mega successful has the word "network" attached to it. NBC "network". Microsoft "network", Real Estate "network", etc....
and so on.... Then I read a statement that truly impacted me forever : You can not teach a poor person to be Rich... Ouch! I had never considered myself poor but when I understood the formula I had been following to make money, I understood that I could never become financially independent with poor thoughts and limited financial education. I challenged my preconceived ideas, changed what I read and whom I listened to, and within 3-years I had a net worth approaching 2 Million Dollars!!!

BUT I lost it last year because it was mostly Real Estate based... Oh well....

BUT and I am building it again, applying the lessons, and having a Ton of fun doing it...Yeah !

On that fateful beginning of 2003 I freed myself of my old ideas and I decided to take on the changing world around me with excitement and enthusiasm ....

Now you understand why I began my ACN business from home, in my spare time, leveraging my time, resources, and efforts and started to build an Asset that today gives me the Residual income and time Freedom to be at home to enjoy my wife and my kids (can you put a price tag on FREEDOM?) Not to mention little bit of cash flow to invest in real estate (the smart way this time around).

Here is my challenge for you in 2010:

HAVE A BREAKTHROUGH YEAR !

Recharging and Relaxing

2009-12-29T11:42:00.003-05:00

LIfe can be stressful and event-filled. We can find ourselves in ruts and intense work schedules. It is good to be busy and focused on your goals but it is also important to plan some significant time away from it all and just relax. Usually, it takes a week to break out of the patterns of everyday life so you should plan to take at least 2-weeks off every few months to re-focus and re-center yourself by doing nothing, going within, and capturing your inner strength.

Also, remember "success is a journey, not a destination" so enjoy yourself a little more in everything you do, be it vacation or "work."

It is now time for me to return to my vacation and continue my time away from work. I'll be recharging my batteries and simply relaxing right through the first week of January. I wish you the best as we all transition into our new and most exciting ear ever.

What's Your Mood?

2009-12-03T12:07:00.002-05:00

"In the emerging field of psychology titled positive psychology, they have discovered that you and I can choose what mood we want on a daily basis. Some of us are subject to the moods of the moment, the moods of the weather, and the moods of other people's opinion.

What they discovered is that people who live in the deepest levels of personal satisfaction choose their own moods. That's an exercise just like exercising a muscle.

I invite us, in this moment, to choose what mood we want to generate today. Is it the mood of joy, the mood of support, the mood of forgiveness, the mood of compassion? What would be the mood that you choose? What mood would you like to be contagious to every person that you meet?

Let us practice exercising that we can actually choose our mood. We can generate, broadcast and feel any positive thing we choose. Notice what happens in our own energy of wellbeing and personal satisfaction when we choose our mood. "

With a mood of gratitude,

Practice Gratitude

2009-11-24T08:43:00.008-05:00

One of the most important things you can do for yourself and for your business it to practice gratitude always. Be grateful for everything you do, have, and are. If you are feeling down or scattered, take a break and write down twenty-five things you are grateful for. Then take five more minutes alone and quiet, set a stopwatch, and don’t let yourself get up until you have released the anxiety with gratitude and serenity.

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." -John F. Kennedy, 1917-1963, 35th President of the United States
