Use Your Head Not Your Heart

Posted on by

“Faith and feelings are the darkness to reason’s light. Reason is the very substance of truth itself. The glory that is life is wholly embraced through reason…. in rejecting reason, one embraces death.”
-zedicus zul zerander

OK, you ask, who the heck is zedicus zul zerander?
He is a fabulously inspiring and humorous wizard in a great fantasy book series I am currently reading … The Sword Of Truth by Terry Goodkind.

Why am I so inspired by Zed, a fictional character, you may ask? Well, he so often makes the obvious obvious to me. What I mean by that is that even though I feel I have a different kind of vision in things because I am blind, I, like everybody, can so easily miss the most obvious.

Why this quote hit me so hard when I read it was because I was reminded of something my father always tried to teach me when I was growing up

He saw my tendancy to use my heart in making decisions in my life and knew this would ultimately lead to hurt. He always used to try and get me to “use your head, not your heart”

Well, my heart always told me this was wrong, as I felt that to have any meaning, the things I believed in and did had to come from my heart to feel right.

What I later learned, was that I could not completely ignore what my head told me. What my heart told me was very often based on emotion and what got my heart pumping. This is the most effective way of marketing any business and anyone will tell you so. If you get a person so excited about things that you tell them, they will be dying to give their money away. Unfortunately, most often the promises given in many ads are not actually true. This leads to disappointment and frustration for any internet marketer who is being sold on faulty ways to succeed in their online business.

My heart was telling me this was no way to do business and I would not feel right in promising something I could not, myself, prove to be true.

So, I had to fall upon what I knew to be true … my heart and my head must be in agreement for anything to be right.

I had to find something out there that could get people’s heart pumping with excitement and also be able to deliver what it promised.

Well I’ve found this with Smart Media Technologies

From the day I learned of it, my heart started pumping but I stayed back, learned more, and was cautious to be sure I was being told the truth as it seemed too good to be true. As time went on I found it all to be true. My head and my heart told me it was the right thing for me.

Not long after I began, I started to see some promising results and the best part was that My Head and my heart were in agreement … thus was born my true success with my business. I actually began to make money, not just piddly money, but money on which I can actually grow my business and have promise of becoming as rich as I want to be.

The team grows every day and as time goes along, more and more people are jumping on board.

We are currently in phase 3 of the beta test of the product which will make this company the biggest thing online and the next Internet superstar.

Achieving A Wealth Mindset

wealth mindset

Do you have a wealth mindset?


Achieving a wealth mindset

In order to achieve a wealth mindset it is necessary to have a look at the definition of the terms.

Definition of wealth mindset

definition of mindset according to Webster’s:

1
: a mental attitude or inclination
2
: a fixed state of mind

Both definitions of course have to do with mentality and the mind so in order to transform your mindset into a wealth mindset, you must work on fixing your mind on wealth.
Simple, right? Well, not always.

Notice the word “fixed”

When we have been raised to believe that money is the most valuable thing in the world and that we must save every penny or we will be broke, fixing on a wealth mindset is not so easy.

What we can do here is better define what wealth is: we again, have been raised to believe that wealth has to do with how much money we have. When we look at the

definition of wealth according to Webster’s:

1
: abundance of valuable material possessions or resources
2
: abundant supply : profusion
3
a : all property that has a money value or an exchangeable value b : all material objects that have economic utility

So, we see here that the definition of wealth nowhere includes the word money. Instead it focuses on value and abundance.

transforming from a lack and want mindset to a wealth mindset

So to transform from a lack and limitation mindset into an unlimited wealth mindset, you only have to change the way you look at things and what you consider wealth.

The way economics works is that if you have something of value, you will be able to exchange it for something else of value. If you wish your wealth to include money, it simply comes down to finding your wealth as what you have in abundance and learning how to exchange it for money to someone who needs and wants it.

It really is very simple, but if you hold on to a mindset that it is difficult, you will never have a wealth mindset.

Something of value does not always have to be a tangible material thing, it can be something like knowledge, inspiration, expertise, etc. Any number of things, if it is something that someone else lacks or wants, it is always of economic value.

the law of attraction and wealth mindset

There is a proliferation of mentors out there who teach the law of attraction and how to apply it into your life. The key is in finding the right one. I, personally like Sandy Forster’s Millionaire Mindset and Summer McStravick’s Prosperity Challenge .

You can simply do a search in Google for law of attraction mentors and find thousands who can show you the way. Start to listen to a number of them and find the one that you will know resonates with your needs.

honesty and the wealth mindset

The law of attraction is always going to come into play when talking about what you wish to attract into your life. If you have not yet learned that this law is an absolute law and that it works for everyone, then you are not using it right. I know this because you have already brought the thought into your mind that it does not work. You are therefore attracting the fact that it does not work.

It may sometimes be difficult to believe in something that has not manifested for you, but if you ask anyone for whom the law of attraction works, there’s no way to make them believe otherwise. If you are trying to You may as well admit that you can not have a wealth mindset.

Here you should have a look at how honest you are being with yourself. It can not be denied that there can be no blame put on anything that happens in your life, except for on you. You are responsible for every thought and action you have and this is what brings you to where you are in your life. You can try to blame failure on your inability to believe the law of attraction works, but there are others who have gone through worse and still have found wealth and abundance in their life. You are not different, and as soon as you realize this, you are taking the first step toward honesty and being able to use the law of attraction to achieve a wealth mindset.

Open your mind, be honest, and practice recognizing when you are thinking defeating thoughts and you will soon see a difference in being able to achieve your own wealth mindset.

To your ultimate wealth transformation!

Secrets of the Wealthy Revealed


What are the real secrets of the wealthy?

Secrets of the wealthy start with what you consider wealth to be. It should not be purely thought of in terms of money, but all of the things you have to give away to others in terms of value. These include love, time, understanding, knowledge, etc. When you understand this, then wealth in money will come your way naturally.

There are only two things you truly have control over and that is your Thoughts and your actions. So, if you are looking for the true secrets of the wealthy, you must align these two things with the thoughts and actions of the wealthy.

In reality, there are only common characteristics that all wealthy people share. If you develop these characteristics you will have learned the so called secrets of the wealthy.

Leveraging time, money, expertise, and the efforts of others
Hard work will be necessary to begin, but in time, when you use leverage in the correct way, your effort will be minimal.

Secrets of the wealthy – vision

Sharing your vision, far and wide always strengthens your own belief that you will achieve it and sends the message out to the universe to give it back in return.

The law of attraction governs the fact that Your imagination and your thoughts create your reality.

To be wealthy, you have to think wealthy and create a new relationship with money. You must give up on old beliefs about money being difficult to obtain and think in abundance. The world is abundant with money and you must know that you deserve your fair share.

New Years Resolution – Ideas To Help You Succeed

Posted on by

fairy sprinkling you with the help you need to make a behavior change


New Years Resolution Ideas To Help You Succeed

Do youMaking behavior change can be difficult. want some new years resolution ideas or are you even considering not making one?
“New year’s resolutions depend on a list containing one or more lasting personal goals, projects, or the reforming of a habit.” (from Wikipedia)

The word resolution comes from resolve or coming up with a new solution to a problem, question, or desire. So in order to make a resolution in your life it is necessary to make behavior change.

As always, the first place to start with any type of transformation is with changing your mind about how you feel and what you believe.

In a behavior change, as with most resolutions, you must first look at it as something that, not only can you do, but what you will do. Start with the belief that you will not quit until the goal is achieved and that you will not be a new years resolution statistic.

New Years Resolution Statistics

New years resolution Statistics say that 80% of people who make them will give up within the first 45 days. This is the first belief that you must change … do not start off with seeing yourself as the 80%, but know that you are one of the 20% that succeed.

So, once you know you’d like to make a resolution for 2012, then you must decide on one of a number of new years resolution ideas.

I found a list of the
“Most Popular New Year’s Resolutions of 2012” from http://www.43things.com

1. Lose weight! 330 people
2. Read at least one book each month! 266 people
3. Keep a notepad of awesome moments! 252 people
4. Eat, drink, learn or try something new! 224 people
5. Get enough sleep! 216 people
6. Take charge of your own financial life! 214 people
7. Sing a song at the top of your lungs at least once a week! 211 people
8. Set an attainable athletic goal, like running a 5 or 10k! 204 people
9. Embrace your personal style and beauty! 203 people
10. Take time to read! 190 people

Making Behavior Change

These are all great New Years Resolution ideas and of course there are many others you may have. Each one is attainable if you find different ways on how to stick to it and make the behavior change.

Following are some good tips for beating the defeating new years resolution statistics:

  • Have a big “why”.

    • Instead of saying just “I will achieve financial freedom in 2012”, make it very clear and write down your why. It may be because you wish to spend more time with your family, or you might wish to take more vacations, or buy a nice new car. Whatever the reason or reasons, write them down and post it where it is in clear view to you on a daily basis. When you do this, your resolve to achieve the goal will be stronger.

  • Make a plan.

    • Making a good plan is a critical part of reaching any goal. Experts say that it is best to spend time planning out exactly how you will be successful in achieving any type of behavior change. You should begin by writing down your goal, making a list of things to do to work toward the goal and be aware of any obstacles that mightbe be a hinderance. Being aware of the possible downfalls will make you better prepared to work harder to stay on track when they occur.

  • Learn more about why you may have difficulty.

    • A good example of this is in weight loss. If you happen to continuously cheat on a diet then learn more about your body. Make it part of your plan to learn about how your body works and why losing weight may be difficult. Often when we can’t achieve weight loss, there are more underlying reasons.

    Click here to see why.

  • use tools to help you.

    • Tools such as visualization, post it notes with your goals posted around the house, and FlowDreams such as found by clicking here

    can help you greatly to stick to your goals.

  • Don’t let a slip make you stay down.

    • When you fall off, take the best advice I know and keep getting back up on the horse.
    Often, as soon as a slip occurs in trying to form a new habit, a person quits with the thought that failure has occurred. A very important thing to remember is that change is always difficult, but with perseverance, it will eventually stick.

  • Take baby steps.

    • Many times a change in habit can not be achieved because the goal is too big. If you break it down into baby steps it is more realistic.
    For example, if your goal in 2012 is to run a half a marathon, start by running a few times a week and stick to a schedule. Just gradually build up on the distance and number of times per week you run.

    If you have a big why, make a good plan, learn, use tools, persevere, and just take it slow, you will most definitely be one of the 20% new years resolution statistics!

Christmas Truce In The Trenches – A Stunning Story About Christmas At Wartime

Christmas Truce In The Trenches

Christmas Truce In The Trenches – A Stunning Story About Christmas At Wartime

Merry Christmas, everyone … yeah, I don’t abide by all that politically correct Happy Holiday stuff …
I say Merry Christmas on the days of Christmas and if you let me know you celebrate in another way, or do not celebrate at all, then have a merry day, anyway …
Blessings to you for whatever you do in this season.

Why should it matter? …
Just go ahead and get in the spirit.

This was something an amazing group of men did during Christmas at wartime in WWI. It happened nearly one hundred years ago, when enemies laid down their arms to join in friendship.

We did not learn about this in our own history class in America, but this story is known far and wide here in England. It was called the Christmas Truce. I guess some think it’s a bit of a tall tale, but you will find out from John McCutcheon, the writer and singer in the following audio, “Christmas In The Trenches”, it’s completely true …
he tells of testimonial proof that it is exactly as it is told.

It is a powerfully inspirational story of the spirit of man. …
It is an incredible story of how even enemies can reach down into their hearts and find a level of friendship …
They can lock arms together to fight the forces of evil …

Now, I know it is a stretch to believe that in our current situation of war with Muslim extremists, that we can ask them to find peace at Christmas, but remember that the thing that is being fought in the war is really not about religion. I am certain that it is only The men at the top who pull the strings and have other agendas that wish to continue the fighting. …
They’ve just used propaganda to get all us little guys to hate each other, but that’s another story …

I have hope it will end soon … after all, they are running out of people who are willing to strap a bomb to their chest to go and meet their 72 virgins …
The gig’s up and word is that they are now kidnapping youngsters and convincing them to do it by threatening to kill their sisters and do horrid things to their grandmothers …

Is there proof of such a thing? I don’t know, but I believe it because desperation makes people do terrible things.

OK, so there I digress, again, but my point is The ones who actually have to spend Christmas “in the trenches”, so to speak, are all men and women with families , good hearts, and ideals. I would guess that all of them really want to stop the killing. It is just the nature of most men deep down in their hearts, who haven’t been conditioned otherwise.

If you don’t believe it, have a listen to “Christmas in the Trenches” by John McCutcheon and have a wonderful holiday season of peace and hope.
Christmas in the Trenches – written and performed by John McCutcheon

Song lyrics

My name is Francis Tolliver.
I come from Liverpool. Two years ago the war was waiting for me after school.
To Belgium and to Flanders, to Germany to here,
I fought for King and country I love dear.
It was Christmas in the trenches where the frost so bitter hung.
The frozen field of France were still, no Christmas song was sung.
Our families back in England were toasting us that day,
their brave and glorious lads so far away.
I was lyin’ with my mess-mates on the cold and rocky ground
when across the lines of battle came a most peculiar sound.
Says I “Now listen up me boys”, each soldier strained to hear
as one young German voice sang out so clear.
“He’s singin’ bloody well you know”, my partner says to me.
Soon one by one each German voice joined in in harmony.
The cannons rested silent. The gas cloud rolled no more
as Christmas brought us respite from the war.
As soon as they were finished a reverent pause was spent.
‘God rest ye merry, gentlemen’ struck up some lads from Kent.
The next they sang was ‘Stille Nacht”. “Tis ‘Silent Night’” says I
and in two tongues one song filled up that sky.
“There’s someone commin’ towards us” the front-line sentry cried.
All sights were fixed on one lone figure trudging from their side.
His truce flag, like a Christmas star, shone on that plain so bright
as he bravely strode, unarmed, into the night.
Then one by one on either side walked into no-mans-land
with neither gun nor bayonet we met there hand to hand.
We shared some secret brandy and wished each other well
and in a flare-lit soccer game we gave ‘em hell.
We traded chocolates, cigarettes and photographs from home
these sons and fathers far away from families of their own.
Young Sanders played his squeeze box and they had a violin
this curious and unlikely band of men.
Soon daylight stole upon us and France was France once more.
With sad farewells we each began to settle back to war.
But the question haunted every heart that lived that wondrous night
“whose family have I fixed within my sights?”
It was Christmas in the trenches where the frost so bitter hung.
The frozen fields of France were warmed as songs of peace were sung.
For the walls they’d kept between us to exact the work of war
had been crumbled and were gone for ever more.
My name is Francis Tolliver. In Liverpool I dwell.
Each Christmas come since World War One I’ve learned it’s lessons well.
That the ones who call the shots won’t be among the dead and lame
and on each end of the rifle we’re the same.
– John McCutcheon “Christmas in the trenches”

A Real Life Fairy Tale of Love and Prosperity

A Real Life Fairy Tale of Love and Prosperity

Do you remember being a kid and hearing those stories of true love and love at first sight? The same stories that over time in the real world just turned into fairy tales that could never happen to you?
I do. Not so very long ago, I had just turned 40 and feeling the pressure of the fact
that I still hadn’t found “the one”. I even went so far as to join EHarmony and began to date a few guys who seemed nice enough, but just didn’t spark that fire.

I soon tired of that, realizing that if it was meant to be, then somehow he would find me … I couldn’t go chasing what just wasn’t there.

I sat one day, using the power of attraction and envisioning the man of my dreams that would make me happy. I told my god that if this man is out there and if and when I am ready for a real lifelong relationship, “please send him to me”.

Because the qualities I was looking for and needing in a man were so contradictory and unlikely, I didn’t hold out much hope. Such a man just couldn’t exist. However, I had surrendered and went on with my life, believing that it was possible.

Funny enough, it was not too long after this that I got myself kicked off of a mailing list … it was a jokes list. This happened because I inadvertently insulted another member of the list … really didn’t mean to do it, but I can tend to have a strange sense of humor and I guess the list moderator didn’t like what I said.

I was devastated to suddenly be missing my daily jokes and banter with the list, so decided to contact one of the members whom I had taken kind of a liking to. As soon as I had sent my request, I suddenly remembered that this person was a very good friend to the person I had insulted … whoops!

I was mortified and just knew he wouldn’t reply … or if he did it wouldn’t be very nice … I waited biting my nails for what seemed like an eternity … to my delighted surprise, he agreed gladly to forward on the jokes to me.

Wahoo! Not only would I get my jokes, but now I had a chance to continue to correspond with this man who had somehow caught my fancy… was there hope for love?

Yes, indeedee dee … in no time, we were writing daily and really finding that we had a lot in common … it took only about two weeks for Allan to have a flight booked from England to come and visit in 3 months.

It felt like a year, because each day that went by told us more and more that our feelings for each other were mutual and powerfully strong. Could this be him? I waited with giddy anticipation for the meeting day to come!

When it did, we were not disappointed. Within 6 visits and a little over 2 years, I joined him in England and we were married.

I can remember coming to the time when I had planned to move. I had my own place and I had so much stuff that I just couldn’t possibly take it all with me. I made a rash decision to just give it all away and start a whole brand new life!

What a rush! Can you imagine!? Maybe not, but I did it and haven’t regretted a moment of my decision.

I tell you this story because since the start of my new life, a similar thing happened with my business. I had spent years looking for that perfect internet marketing system to finally give me the break I needed for my success. I did the same I had done with my love life and gave it up to fate … you can read about it here: Why I Joined Empower Network .

I was desperately searching for that perfect system, after struggling with all of the difficulties of setting up my blog, learning SEO, struggling with accessibility issues with my blindness and I just gave it up to fate. Voila! Along comes this answer to my dreams and since I have found “the one”, I haven’t regretted a moment. I have finally found the results and the means to the ultimate prosperity I envision in my business.

3 Top Tips to Network Marketing Success

Posted on by

Network marketing companies come and network marketing companies go, but tried and true authorities in the industry are as solid as Plymouth Rock. This is for one reason and one reason alone. It is never the network marketing company that is faulty, it is the system used by the marketer trying to succeed in their business.

Ask any network marketing leader and they will probably tell you that they have been involved in many different companies and no longer belong because either the company failed or they found a better opportunity with perhaps a more lucrative compensation plan. What they will all tell you, in the end, is that it never is the company that is faulty, it is a person trying to use faulty systems.

You see, even when a company fails, you will notice that the top earners in that company will not fail along with it. They will move on to a new venture and find the same results they found previously. This is because of their ability to lead and teach the system they are using.

In the best case scenario, the most successful leaders are using a highly duplicatable automated system which ultimately allows their team members to make money, and they will also benefit from the residual which allows them to sit back and enjoy their success.

So what are the keys to being able to become a tried and true leader? There are only 3 things that you need to do.

1. Create a strong list
To do this you must build active buzz around your brand and your name. This can be done in a huge number of ways, but the one thing that has been proven to work best is to start a blog. Be sure to update regularly with information that will keep people coming back and spreading the word. You will get plenty of leads this way and have your strong list in no time.
2. communicate with this list
Keeping in touch and in front of your list is crucial in strengthening the relationships you need to keep building your team. Sending them regular but not spam like emails is tantamount to continued success. Jazzy and unique subject lines will keep them curious and opening them up.
3. Giving away as much informative and valuable content and tips to help people toward real success is what is going to get them to join your team in the end. If you show them success, even if a particular company fails, the team won’t care and will follow you wherever you lead them.

The tried and true leaders in the field have developed their own system to ultimately work on autopilot and have the team getting them leads, but until you have your own system, your leaders, along with these 3 simple tips, will work to help you build your team and lead them to success.

To your ultimate wealth transformation!

Be A Kid Again

Posted on by

I Want to be a Kid Again!

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult.  I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 6 year-old again.

I want to go to McDonald’s and think that it’s a four-star restaurant.  I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and write on a sidewalk with rocks.

I want to think M&M’s are better than money because you can eat them. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a
hot summer’s day. 

I want to return to a time when life was simple.  I want to think the world is fair.  That everyone is honest and good.

I want to live simple again. I don’t want my day to consist of computer crashes, mountains of paperwork, depressing news, how to survive more days in the
month than there is money in the bank, doctor bills, gossip, and illness.

I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, the imagination, and humankind.

So . . . here’s my checkbook and my car-keys, my credit card bills and my 401K statements. I am officially resigning from adulthood!

And if you want to discuss this further,  

you’ll have to catch me first, ’cause…  

“Tag!  You’re it.”  

Be a Kid Again!
Give yourself a gold star for everything you do today.
Grow a milk mustache.
Open a pack of cupcakes and give one to a friend even though you wanted both of them for yourself.
Have a staring contest with your cat.
Ask “Why?” a lot.
Believe in fairy tales.
Wear your favorite shirt with your favorite pants even if they don’t match.
Hide your vegetables under your napkin.
Make a “slurpy” sound with your straw when you get to
the bottom of a milkshake.
Stick your head out the car window and moo if you see a cow.
Walk barefoot in wet grass.
Make cool screeching noises every time you turn.
Count the colors in a rainbow.
Take a running jump over a big puddle.
Giggle a lot for no real reason.
Enjoy your all-time favorite candy-bar. (Forget you’ve heard of calories!)
Squish some mud between your toes.
Put an orange slice in your mouth, peel side out, and smile at people.
Be a kid again!

Offline Marketing Ideas For Your Online Business

Posted on by

We are so obsessed about learning how to build our online business on the internet that we forget that people don’t live on the internet 24/7. Network marketers often ignore that potential team members can also come from the real world. Here are a few offline marketing ideas you could integrate with your online marketing strategies:

Business Networking Ideas

• Networking can be accomplished in many ways. Your network can provide the leads and information necessary to get the word out about your business and to expand your reach.

• Attend forums, conventions, and business meetings. These are where many local business owners gather together to throw around business ideas. These are also where the latest and greatest strategies and technologies are introduced to help online business owners learn more about their niches.

• Network yourself with local business professionals. Join business associations and activities like industry events, Chamber of Commerce, trade shows , and networking organizations to expand your network.

• Know and be particular with whom you are networking. Select only the best and most well known networks. It is always best to be referred by someone you know.

• Establish decent, strong relationships with your network business members.

• chat with people about your business. It is amazing how many people are genuinely interested in finding out ways to build up their own businesses. You’ll also find out new business building tips in this way.

Relationship Marketing Tips

• Don’t forget about your base market. Maintain and continue to strengthen your relationship with current and past customers. Don’t throw away your initial marketing efforts by not sustaining your current base market. Continue marketing to your existing list.

• There are a few things you could do to keep your base market loyal to your business. You can keep in touch with them on a personal level by sending out holiday and birthday cards. Some online business owners go so far as sending their clients handwritten letters that update them regardinginteresting updates and promotions.

• Create a newsletter. Never allow your base market to forget about your business. Keep it foremost in their minds by giving away things, printed newsletters for example, that may directly or indirectly remind them of your business, your services, and your presence.

• Develop relationships with new markets. Don’t settle on just your current market base. Expand as much as possible within your current resources.

• Participate in local trade shows. You can either be behind the booth or outside doing the talking to potential new leads.

• When introducing yourself to potential new customers, neverfluster them with complicated ideas. If you’re trying to build new business relationships, keep it simple. Most people don’t have the attention span to be able to figure out what you’re trying to say.

• Throw special events or promotions for your customers using telephone conferencing. Such events will help you to brand yourself as well as expand your network connections.

Print Marketing Ideas

• Use spiffy business cards that contain everything people need to know about getting in touch with you or finding your websites. Hand out your business cards to anyone you might meet or leave them at local shops and restaurants.

• Use brochures and flyers. You can leave these on bulletin boards in your community or even send out as mailings to your current clients or purchased mailing lists.

• Advertise in print sources. Newspapers and magazines are still popular as strong offline marketing tools.

Be creative and try things that aren’t being used. People are reactive to new and exciting ideas. Using these tips will most definitely find your business growing online!

Moving From Information Overload To Transformation Explode

Posted on by

Today with the world overloaded with information on the internet, how can you make sense of it all? How does this information help you? There’s an endless amount of it out there and can it really help you to get results or in other words, find transformation?

With so much information available and much of it not being absolutely true, it is time to learn how to filter through the rubbish and learn to discern what is really important for your business transformation.

I teach that we must use our head along with our heart to know what is right for us. When you are presented with something that makes your heart pump you should take the time to let the excitement die down a little and be absolutely sure that what that something entails and whether it resonates with your beliefs, your passions, and your ethics is going to help you transform.

Just knowing something and actually being able to apply it to get results is a completely different thing. For example, there is an overload of information about how a lot of people are making money on the internet, but what information is useful to allow you to do it, yourself?

The first step to be able to find information that will actually help you is to define goals very specifically. The brain is very effective at giving us exactly what we think and believe. So be very definite in what you are setting for your goals.

For example when you say that you are going to get more reps into your business, well this is fine, but how many more. You may be actually asking for just 2 more reps into your business and that is not going to help much, is it? Be very specific in how many reps you want to attract into your business and within what time period.

The exact time period must be stated because tense is important as well. If we say we are simply going to do something, then it will always be perceived by the brain that we are going to do something in the future but not defined as to when it will happen. Be sure to use words that are in the present tense as if it is already happening and give it a set date as to when it is complete.

Another thing to remember is that when you say that you want something, you send out the message that you want something. The energy of want is sent out and that is exactly what you will get back: Want.

Visualization is the key here to actually know and believe that your goals are a reality. Visualize what it is like to actually have those reps in your business and how you work to help them succeed.

Also be careful of negatives in your thoughts and words. The brain does not interpret well the words “don’t” or “not”. In other words, if you say something like “I am not failing in my business”, your brain only hears “I am failing in my business”. So, it is more effective to use a phrase like “I am successful in my business”.

Knowing all of this, you can define your goal as being “I am successful in my business and I have 50 reps in my business by January 15th and I am teaching them the things I know on how to do the same.”

Once your goals are clearly and definitely defined and incorporated into your regular thoughts and words, you can now determine what information is going to help you to achieve these goals.

When you come across information, ask yourself a simple question about this information. Ask exactly how and why it can or can not help you to reach your goal.

As I have mentioned in other posts, the best way to know this is to be choosy on whom you get your information from. If the person giving information and claiming to have the tools or solution to what you need, then be sure they are readily available for you to talk to them and ask questions. If they are inaccessible, then it is likely that this person will not truly be able to deliver what they are promising. I find the best way to find good, valuable information is to visit blogs. Blog writers are generally knowledgeable in their niche and will be accessible when you wish to ask them about something. You can also determine the credibility easily of bloggers by the number of comments and likes you find on their posts.

So to be able to sift through information to find what is useful for you, first set specific and definite goals, ask how information will actually help you to achieve these goals, and then contact the person or organization offering the information and go get ‘em!
