Follow The Habits of Highly Successful People For Awesome Success!...

2011-05-11T00:05:00.001-07:00

The Success Habits of Highly Successful People reveal eye-opening insights into how they achieved their Success…

In this Guest Blog Post, Jason Oman, co-author of 'Conversations With Millionaires' and the newly launched sequel 'Conversations With Female Millionaires' reveals that one of the biggest and most powerful Secrets revealed by Self-Made Millionaires is the life-changing power of concertedly developing positive, success-creating HABITS that lead to incredible Business Success!

The stand out factor over above visionary and ambitious Goals, Dreams and Aspirations, was the vital ingredient of cultivating life-transforming Success Habits that facilitated the achievement of those Goals and Dreams.

They read like a Ritual of How Dreams Get Turned Into Reality… Here are the Success Habits common amongst most Entrepreneurs and Self-Made Millionaires. They:

1. Wrote down their list of Goals and Dreams, and kept them clearly and visibly at the forefront of their minds on a continual basis. This made all the difference to achieving their Goals! They also reviewed, assessed, and tweaked them often as they progressed along their path to Success!

2. Identified and worked out the Actions they needed to take on an ongoing, consistent basis to transform their Goals and Dreams into Reality.

3. Worked out, identified and drew up lists of the specific HABITS they needed to develop on a consistent daily basis in order to turn their Goals and Dreams into Reality.

4. Took Massive Action and turned those specific Actions into daily Habits so that with repetition and doing them consistently over time they didn't even need to think about them, and it became easier. They just happened naturally and automatically and became 'Habitual' and part of their way of operating…

5. Committed to continuous Self Improvement - life-long learning and upgrading knowledge and skills on a continuing basis. This created a forward and upward trajectory of Taking Actions that then became Habits that brought results, desired outcomes and benefits… And this created even more momentum.

There's so much to learn by observing and following the Habits of Highly Successful People. Make it your commitment to do just that today!…

How To Get Clarity For Business Success

2011-01-13T20:52:00.001-08:00

Clarity about your Business is absolutely essential to increase your results and ensure your business success.

As a Home Business or Small Business owner, you probably often find yourself working "in" your business rather than "on" your business.

If you're like most Home Business and Small Business owners, you work hard, and put in many long hours. Every so often, you really need to take stock and step back to refocus on the "big picture" and what's important.

Increasing your business results doesn't always come from working harder, but working "smarter".

For some great tips and advice on what you can do to get out of the haze and maze and get Clarity about your Business direction, go to YourSuccessMasteryNow blog.

Success Requires Clarity

2010-12-20T03:15:00.001-08:00

I find that when I have Clarity, I’m way clearer about what needs to be done, and I’m far more productive in getting those things done – moving through what I know needs to be done and taking action to get me to where I want to be.

Clarity definitely unlocks your next steps to take…

I check in with my Vision and Goals, and find a greater instantaneous connection that translates quickly into Taking Action… Inspired Action, way more instantly and powerfully, without any doubt and hesitation…

Money Mindset Determines Your Success

2010-11-18T19:30:00.000-08:00

Your Money Mindset determines your success or otherwise with money... whether you can attract money easily and live prosperous life, or struggle constantly with the lack of money in your life.

It's the foundation to the kind of relationship you have with money and abundance. It's like a litmus test, or temperature guage that sets how easy or difficult your relationship with money play out.

Just imagine on a scale of 0 to 10 (with 0 being low/negative and 10 being high/positive), where would you rate your Money Mindset right now?

T Harv Eker refers to it graphically as your "money thermostat" - just like setting the heating thermostat in your home. If your money thermostat is set on a low setting, no matter how much more you want, or try to raise the setting, you won't be able to raise it beyond what's been pre-set from your past conditioning.

Even if you do manage to temporarily raise it for a short time, it will automatically go back to the pre-set.

You can learn more about this and more here.

So, it all begins in your mind, your psychology, your inner game. Change your inner world, and your outer world changes too.

The good news is you can change your Money Mindset. It does take effort and commitment, but you can do it. It involves:

1. Identifying your negative limiting beliefs about money. It helps to recall your first memories about money and the messages you received from others as a child.

2. Clear and change those negative limiting beliefs.

3. Clearly set your new intentions and beliefs about what is possible for you, and reinforce them with visual and audio reminders - vision boards, audios, affirmations, visualizations, meditation.

4. TAKE ACTION to put in place new habits and behaviors that support and reinforce your new vision about your relationship with money.

5. And, take it a step further - take Inspired Action - whenever you feel an intuitive urging, a new idea, act upon it quickly and put it in motion. Remember, Success and Money like speed.

8 May - Enhance Your Success!

2008-05-06T21:23:00.000-07:00

8 May has special significance as a great day to start a new project or venture, as this recent email from one of my subscribers explains -

"Dear Kathy

Thank you very much for "Your Success" E-Newsletters.

I would like to share with you some things I have learned which may help you and enhance your success.

I follow a Vedic system of astrology and it says that 8 May is called "Akshaya Tritiya" which is the "Day of Lasting Achievements".

If you have a big undertaking/project etc that you would like to commence and have not started working on it already, then it is very auspicious to start some action on that project on that day.

It is called "the Day of Lasting Achievements" because if you commence some action (it does not have to be a big action, just some action to commence the project) on that day, the project will gain more support of all the laws of nature.

In Vedic astrology they have what is called "Muhurtas". Muhurtas are special times for starting an important undertaking, such as getting married, buying a home, looking for land or starting a business/writing a book. Normally these are calculated when an astrologer looks at a person's chart, however, these are special days in the year when the "flavour" of Natural Law is more geared towards certain things for everybody.

There is a saying in Vedic astrology which is about the purpose of Muhurtas - "well begun is half done". So if the starting time is favourable, the project will experience more support from the very beginning. ........

With best wishes
Patricia"

Now, let's make the most of the 8 May!

To Your Success!

Some Vital Things You Need to Know About Your Energy and Intentions

2007-02-27T23:22:00.000-08:00

Did you see The Oprah Winfrey Shows featuring ‘The Secret’ movie? With the Oprah Show’s amazing power to reach a much wider audience, the first show got such a huge reaction with an avalanche of incredible feedback, that a second show followed a week later … and more are planned in the near future.

If you didn’t catch them, have a look at what this incredible coverage is doing for people from all over.

Oprah Show 1 (February 8 2007) - ‘After The Show’
Oprah Show 2 - The Reaction - (Feb 16 '07)

So, what is the significance of some of the key lessons?

The Energy You Put Out

On the shows, ‘The Secret’ teachers talked a lot about the energy frequencies we emit and how this impacts on what we attract, what we manifest, and our experience of our world.

Basically, what this means is that -

In Quantum Physics, and the Law of Attraction, everything is energy - and the flow of that energy is controlled by our thoughts, emotions and ‘feelings’, which create an energetic ‘vibration’ of varying levels of intensity. Each one of us is a field of energy, within a larger field of energy, and so forth.

The frequency you project out through your thoughts, emotions and ‘feelings’ is what you have a tendency to manifest in your life - whether those thoughts and emotions are conscious or unconscious, positive or negative, it makes no difference. The Universe doesn’t judge - it delivers to you what you spend most of your time thinking and feeling about.

As we are all made of energy, the frequency at which we vibrate connects with other people who are vibrating at the same or similar frequency. We attract people and circumstances into our lives accordingly.

If we are projecting at a low frequency - fear, blame, guilt, shame, anxiety, humiliation - we connect with, or attract with others at similar frequency. Even if our conscious mind wants higher goals, our actual feelings and emotions will connect with the lower frequencies at which we are ‘feeling’ (causes self-sabotage, blockages, and time delays in manifestation).

If we are operating at a higher frequency - acceptance, love, joy, peace, bliss, enlightenment - we will connect with others who are operating at higher frequencies also.

To help illustrate this further, in the book 'Power vs Force', Dr David Hawkins provides a Map of Consciousness chart which plots emotions and their energy frequency levels - here's an excerpt to give you a broad idea.

Enlightenment - 700-1,000
^
Peace - 600
^
Joy - 540
^
Love - 500
^
Reason - 400
^
Acceptance - 350
^
Willingness - 310
^
Neutrality - 250
^
Courage - 200
< Pride - 175
< Anger - 150
< Desire - 125
< Fear - 100
< Grief - 75
< Apathy - 50
< Guilt - 30
< Shame - 20

You will see that Courage is the middle point, the turn around point (at 200). At this point, you might say - “I am willing to take this on”. “I am seeking truth”. “I am looking to go forward” …

At Acceptance, you get to the level of disabling your ego (which is so powerful) – it relieves your ego from the need to win.

As this topic is so important, I will devote an entire upcoming edition of ‘Your Success’ E-Newsletter to it.

The Power of Intentions

‘The Secret’ teachers also talked a lot about intentions, and the importance of clarity, commitment, and being absolutely totally unwavering about your intentions.

It’s all about keeping your vision crystal clear and steadfast before you in the utmost positive light (with no doubts, not even for a moment) along the way, and holding that space consistently until you manifest your desire.

My friend Brendan O’Keefe has a wonderful resource called the Intention Engine which is an online interactive tool to help you with getting clear in your intentions, and it’s fr*ee too!

If you are serious about improving your life through the power of intention setting, there are some amazing tools at the Intention Engine to help you do so, like Goal Mapping, Vision Board, Creative Visualization, Auto Affirmations Generator, Auto Ideal Scene Generator, and many other resources. You can use it as your online journal and go back and revisit and update as often as you like. Go check it out!

Enjoy!

With Much Gratitude and
Wishing You Great Success!

I Believe! - Do You Believe?

2006-12-06T05:22:00.000-08:00

I recently came across this wonderful poem by Michael Gaudet - please do enjoy -

I Believe -

I believe in the power of creativity
and the power of a Higher Being.
I believe angels all around me
are eager to help me in times of need.

I believe in my own powers of decision
and making up my own mind.
I believe in perseverance
and not taking ‘no’ for an answer.

I believe in my ideas
and I will not be discouraged by cynics.
I believe in friends
who believe in me.

I believe in the stroke of genius
and the ‘aha!’ experience.
I believe in my heroes
and emulate their courage in my life.

I believe I can defy the odds
and change the world.
I believe I can make a difference
with my own two hands.

I believe that if I believe
I give myself permission
to be happy in my heart
and strong in my spirit!

I believe in reaching out to the world
by expressing myself
in whatever medium
I freely choose.

I believe I can launch my ideas
with dedication and commitment.
I believe my ideas will be appreciated
by the people that really matter.

I believe everyone has a soul-mate
and a life-path to follow.
I believe that we are here for a reason
and that is to nurture our creative spirits.

I believe in a community of friends
who share common ideals.
I believe in working together
and getting results.

I believe in clarity
and a blazing conviction.
I believe in passion
and an eagerness to work.

I believe in humor and laughter and joy
especially when times are tough.
I believe in the fertility of the universe
and the abundance of opportunity for all.

Happy Thanksgiving to you …

2006-11-25T04:10:00.000-08:00

I’ve always loved the idea of a special holiday to give Thanks – what a wonderful and noble sentiment ...

Many of you live in the USA and celebrate this wonderful tradition of Thanksgiving. And, many of you live in other parts of the world where there isn’t a Thanksgiving holiday - and you may even choose to celebrate with your own unique version of Thanksgiving.

Wherever you are around our globe, whatever country you live in, I’m sending you my best Thanksgiving greetings with Gratitude.

Thanksgiving is a great time to remind ourselves to focus on Gratitude. Remember that one of the very important lessons and the most powerful, vital ingredient in Manifestation is Gratitude – real, genuine and heartfelt Gratitude.

I know many of you are on your personal growth journey and have been attracted here because you’re looking for better ways to improve your life, and find more meaning. The Law of Attraction, Manifestation, and the Success Mindset are important to you and part of your quest to really enjoy life, be happier and more fulfilled.

Actually, every day should be a day of Thanksgiving, where each one of us takes the time to say thanks with a sincere, deep feeling of gratitude and appreciation for the things that we do have, and the great things that are on their way to us …

Do you spend enough time and focus on expressing Gratitude each day? I know our lives can get so busy and distracted on the treadmill of daily life.

Take special time to think about and write down the things you are grateful for, and review it and update it regularly, each day if you can commit to it. Wake to each day thinking thoughts of gratitude, and end each day reflecting with gratitude, and as many times during the day as you can.

Appreciate what you have, and the boundless abundance and wonder of nature all around you. Take time to appreciate the big as well as the small things.

Take the opportunity each day to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you. Give a big hug, hold a hand, make eye contact that engages the person and reaches their soul, and say those words with meaning from the heart. Call a friend or send a card of thanks – it will leave a lasting feeling, impression, and connection.

I would like to say a special thanks to you for being part of this community, and for pursuing a better way. I’m grateful to you for desiring and being committed to your personal growth, for taking action and no longer willing to settle for a mediocre life without direction running on autopilot.

Thank you also to those of you who have kindly taken the time to send me feedback emails. I appreciate your thoughts, your interactions, and your time – way beyond words. It affirms what I’m doing.

I trust that you will continue to find value in the information shared with you here.

Happy Thanksgiving with Gratitude

Significant Day - 17 October 2006

2006-10-17T05:56:00.000-07:00

This is an in-between “Your Success” E-Newsletter “Special Message” that I truly hope you get in time to make it useful and practical for you.

I want to share some information about the significance of 17 October 2006 with you and my other subscribers. Sincere apologies for the short notice as I’ve just discovered this myself.

17 October 2006 provides a very significant and great opportunity for us to take special time to focus our thoughts and energy on the things we want to manifest.

As you know, I'm a Law of Attraction Practitioner and Success Mindset Coach. When I came across this information earlier, even in spite of the short time frame, I just HAD to share it with you.You can read the search excerpt information below and then you can decide if it has any interest and meaning for you.As with all of Life’s experiences, the choice is always, always all yours to act upon ...

So, here’s what I found. You too can do a search on this on Google or any other search engine as well – on 17 October cosmic trigger event.What I discovered is that 17 October is a VERY powerful day for manifesting and creating our desires. There is a major magnifying and multiplier effect happening on this day.You need to be EXTREMELY mindful about what you put your thoughts on.Here is an excerpt from some information I found:
______________________________________________

“A cosmic trigger event is occurring on the 17 October 2006. The effect is every thought and emotion will be amplified intensely one million-fold.

Yes, we will repeat, all will be amplified one million times and more.

Every thought, every emotion, every intent, every will, no matter if it is good, bad, ill, positive, negative, will be amplified one million times in strength.

What does this mean ? Since all matter manifest is due to your thoughts, i.e. what you focus on, this beam will accelerate these thoughts and solidify them at an accelerated rate making them manifest a million times faster than they normally would.

For those that do not comprehend. Your thoughts andwhat you focus on creates your reality. If you are focused on thoughts which are negative to your liking they will manifest into your reality almost instantly. Then again this UV beam can be a gift if you choose it to be.

Mission-1017 requires approximately one million people to focus on positive, benign, good willed thoughts for themselves and the Earth and Humanity on this day. Your thoughts can be of any nature of your choosing, but remember whatever you focus on will be made manifest in a relatively faster than anticipated time frame.

To some the occurrences may almost be bordering on the miracle. All we ask is positive thoughts of love, prosperity, healing, wealth, kindness, gratitude be focused on.

No matter what time zone you are in the hours are approximately 10:17am on the 17 October to 1:17am on the 18 October. The peak time will be 17:10 (5:10pm) on 17 October. You do need to be in a meditative state through out this time, though would be beneficial. The main key time no matter what time zone you are in will be the peak time of 17:10 (5:10 pm).

Perhaps at this time if you can find a peaceful spot or location to focus. The optimum is out in the vicinity of grounded nature, likened to that of a large tree or next to the ocean waves. Focus on whatever it is you desire. What is required for the benefit of all Earth and Humanity is positive thoughts of loving nature.

Please forward this message to as many people as you know who will use this cosmic trigger event to focus positive, good willed thoughts. This is your opportunity to take back what is rightfully yours i.e. Peace and Prosperity for all Earth and Mankind. This is a gift, a lifeline from your Universe so to speak, an answer to your prayers. What you do with it and whether or not you choose to participate is your choice.”

___________________________________________________

No matter what your beliefs are, you have nothing to lose by trying this. After all, it’s only 24 hours or so.I myself will be practicing extra special care on this day with my thoughts and words focused very clearly on what I wish for, for myself, for others, and the world.

It’s a perfect time for you to focus on attracting more abundance into your life, or sending healing thoughts and energy to people you care about, or focusing on a peaceful world, or all of these things and more.

And, if we join together with our focus and concentrate our energies, imagine what we can achieve ...

To help you along with your focus, here is a Guided Imagery on Healing Thoughts and Abundance from one of my favorite EFT experts, Brad Yates -

Please email me or post on my blog anything that you experience that you'd like to share -
http://success-self-help-tips.blogspot.com/

If I can help you further in any way, please let me know.

There aren’t many things that come around twice! Be sure to pay attention to the signs of the Universe.

Expect miracles and make this a truly magical day!!! Be prosperous and abundant and be all the wonderful person, in every respect, you were meant to be! ...

To Your Success!

Finding and Following Your Life Purpose and Passion (Part 3)

2006-06-11T02:55:00.000-07:00

How To Know If You’re Living Your Life On Purpose With Passion – 11 Key Tell-Tale Signs

You've Just Got to SO-OOOO Love What You Do !!!...

What are the signs that you're on the right track and on the way to, or actually already living your life with true purpose, real meaning and passion, and fulfilling your true potential? You'll know when –

1. You're totally obsessed with what you're doing – time just flies by and you're on a 'high' when you're doing your 'thing' you love. To you it's not 'work' at all because you're enjoying every moment an spending your time doing exactly what excites and makes you happy. It's what gets you 'springing' out of bed in the morning, and when you're away from it, you can't wait to get back to it …

2. You're totally hyper focused and in a trance-like state when you're doing what you love. You feel like you've been transported elsewhere, and your immunity to distraction is on 'high'. Often you may not hear people around you speaking to you, and only realize when you find yourself being roused and brought back to the sound of words "Are you listening to me? Hey, did you hear what I just said?"...

3. You've got a strong underlying Belief, all the while, that this IS definitely what you're meant to do …

4. You keep a strong clear Vision afloat all the time of where you want to get to - even when you're dog tired and exhausted, events and circumstances aren't flowing, things seem to not be going your way, and people are against you ...

5. You just keep going when the going gets tough, an keep getting up and on with it …

6. You surprise even yourself at your unfailing persistence to keep going and you feel propelled by this inner life force that is driving you ...

7. Despite the hurdles, trials, tribulations and frustrations, you look back with a smile and know that you've really enjoyed the experience anyway. You know deep down inside that you're going somewhere worthwhile and what you're doing has meaning and purpose ...

8. Things just seem to fall into place easily and just happen 'serendipitously' - people appear, telephone calls come, offers of support and guidance present, new relevant resources are introduced to you. You stop for a moment and you're in the right mindset to see the flow of what's happening and you smile and muse with sincere pleasing satisfaction …

9. You see that what you do makes a real difference in the lives of others beyond what you imagined. You give real value. Their feedback says it all and you're constantly amazed with great humility …

10. Sometimes you have a clear vision of what you want, but the pathway there isn't always clear. As chapters unfold and phases roll out and define themselves, ones you didn't even expect, you stay open to guidance …

This one is a bit tougher –

11. Even if your passion or purpose is a bit off the acceptable 'mainstream' track and you're not sure exactly where you'll end up, you go for it anyway with perseverance and patience. Even if you don't know exactly where your hunches and intuitions are leading, you trust and you're never disappointed with the outcomes and where you find yourself going. You're fascinated by the journey and your faith seems to balance out the odds even when it seems you're going against all the odds.

I came across this great quote recently –
"If you follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be." (Joseph Campbell)

Doesn't it make sense that if you LOVE what you're doing, you'll do it more often, more easily, and keep getting better at it? When you do so, the value you give to others will grow amazingly and exponentially.

In a business context, your perceived value to your customers, clients or subscribers will increase naturally.

So the key is to start doing what you love now. Take action! Make yourself immune to distraction! Get on track and be committed …

Sure, it might not result in a successful or even million dollar business overnight, but over the course of time, it's entirely possible, and it's happening all the time. If others can do it, so can you!

There will be nothing more satisfying than turning your calling, purpose and passion into a rewarding and prosperous business or career venture that you love doing, every single day, and to live the life you were meant to live.

To Your Success!

Finding and Following Your Life Purpose and Passion (Part 2)

How To Determine What Your Life Purpose Really Is –
3 Guiding Steps To Help You Get Clear

Doing What You Love Springs From and Goes Hand-in-Hand With Following Your Life Purpose

So, What is Life Purpose? Why is it So Important?

It's feeling that there's real meaning to your Life and a reason for what you do. It's having clear direction and a driving force flowing, even bursting out from you, leaving you in no doubt about your value and how best you contribute.When it just flows effortlessly, or even rushes out, that's a clear sign, and then you'll just know …

It gives you a foundation for knowing your reason for 'being' rather than just what you're 'doing'. The difference between Human 'Being' and Human 'Doing'. You'll know and feel that your internal compass is directing you, coming from a higher consciousness source.

It's the difference between your answer to the question – Who are you? - as opposed to - What do you do (for a living)?

How Do You Determine Your Life Purpose?

Discovering your Life Purpose is part of your own individual journey.

How do you know? How do you get clear? It's a very individual path. Some of you will just know and some of you will need to go through a process to find your way to get clear.

Here are some steps you can take -

1. Consider What is 'Uniquely' You and What You Offer

Find a quiet place for yourself where you can reflect peacefully without distractions or interruptions. Put yourself in a relaxed state. Do some deep breathing to relax yourself and fix your eye on an object or spot in a trance-like fashion, or close your eyes if you wish. You may like to use meditation if you're comfortable with this.

Place yourself in a state of mind focused on your purpose – one in which you feel inspired, directed, significant, with a vision ad 'purposeful' - and focus on asking what your purpose might be.

Ask yourself – What are my gifts? What are my talents? What do I do easily and naturally? What do people feedback to me that I'm really good at doing? What do I find meaningful? What do I think I'm here to do? What is my purpose? Listen to the answers that come up from within you.

2. Consider Further - How Do You Help Others?

When you help others, how do you do it? What effect does it have on others? Do you help others discover their own truth?

3. Write Down Your Life Purpose

Set aside time to write down a clearly crafted Life Purpose statement for yourself – one that resonates and has meaning for you. Put it before you in a place(s) where you'll see it often.

The 'Power' of a Clearly Defined Life Purpose

As Dr Wayne Dyer says - When you shift into a 'purposeful' state of mind, then all you need in the way of personality characteristics will naturally surface.

What this means is that when you're doing what you love and living on purpose, giving of yourself in a joyful way, your personality will reflect that bliss and all it involves.

This will not require struggle or detailed written goals and action plans. You will not require intelligence, skills or confidence from outside of yourself because you'll find these qualities already exist within you.

Your ability to manifest the necessary talent, intellect and mobilize changes in yourself to fulfill your purpose will already be intact.

Knowing Your Purpose Helps You Live With Integrity and In Alignment With Your Life Purpose

For instance, I know my Life Purpose is Life Enhancement - to teach and guide people how to improve their lives, from my own learning experiences, by example.

How did I arrive at my purpose? By learning unconditional Self Love first, being true to myself, discovering my authenticity, and my unique way to achieving a self-determining life doing my own thing, finding and following my own passion.

I had to learn these things first before teaching others. If I'm to show other people to be truthful with themselves, I had to be truthful with myself.

Learn Self Love first and everything will take care of itself ...

When you're inspired by a greater Life Purpose things just start to fall into place for you in your life. Knowing your Life Purpose on a 'big picture' level really helps you know how you relate to your life as a whole. Life Purpose serves as a focus around which to arrange, orient and direct your life.

To Your Success!

Finding and Following Your Life Purpose and Passion (Part 1)

2006-04-20T02:53:00.000-07:00

How To Achieve a Life that You’re Passionate About By Doing What You Love To Do

We all have a definite purpose in our lives, a key part of which is living a life of joy and abundance. It’s also about doing what we love to do and fulfilling our highest natural potential.

Some call it ‘career’, some call it ‘vocation’, others call it following your ‘calling’ – doing something that you’re perfectly naturally suited to do, and fulfilling your life purpose in being here.

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying – ‘Do What You Love and the Success Will Follow’. I can hear you saying – yeah well, its not always that easy! Yes, sure, I agree – it’s not always that easy. But why not? This is a complex question. Let’s explore this a bit further in this posting –

Some people find their way easily and naturally early in their lives and live a passionate life on purpose. Others find their way and make changes years later, or in mid life. Yet the majority struggle and never do ...

So, why does this elude so many people who think they’re on the right track, in a good ‘job’, earn reasonable money, sometimes even great $s, yet still something is lacking, still they’re not happy or fulfilled, still there’s a yearning for something else, something more?

They wonder if there's any purpose or meaning in their life. They find themselves just existing from day-to-day, operating on autopilot, or by default, dreading getting out of bed in the morning, and trudging and dragging their way to their 9-5 job ('job' = 'just over broke'), or these days more likely to be an 8-8 job ...

Many know they’re stuck in the wrong career or in an unfulfilling job, and say they will get around to fixing and changing that some day, when the time is right, when they get a chance …

Yes, for many, ‘Life gets in the way’ ... The mortgage and bills have to be paid, family to take care of, school fees, other life responsibilities, climbing the corporate ladder as society expects … and so it goes on ... and life goes by ...

Yes it’s a complex issue ...

OK, so - How can you achieve a Life that you love and enjoy by doing what you love to do? How can you do this?

It takes major soul searching and the courage, and the ‘guts’ to give it a go ....

For the next few minutes – set aside some time for yourself to explore the following questions below. For that time, answer honestly from your heart ... Put aside any limiting thoughts ... Think big ... Indulge yourself ... Don’t edit or sensor yourself ... Most importantly, have fun with this exercise. And, write down your thoughts - grab a piece of paper, or jot on your computer.

Ask yourself –

* What do you really love doing?
* What are your hobbies? (not always the same thing as previous question, so differentiate them)
* What are your ‘big picture’ dreams and goals that you have and would love to achieve?
* What would you really like to do if you absolutely knew you would not fail?
* Take this a step further, if money wasn’t an issue at all, what would you do or like to achieve?

* What do you think about when you get a private moment to yourself?
* Have you ever fantasized or wished you could spend more time at your hobby than at your job?
* What dreams did you have in childhood? Have you lost touch with or forgotten dreams and goals you had in childhood or earlier in your life? What are they?
* What interests, desires or passions do you have that you keep inside and do not tell others?

* Have you dreamt about ‘working for yourself’, starting your own business, perhaps home business?
* Have you actually tried setting up a business or home business before and failed?
* What things do you do really well and give away to friends – perhaps gourmet goodies, paintings, arts and crafts, floral arrangements, party and event planning, pet treats, plant cuttings or propagation, woodwork items, other hobby items …

The answers to these questions will give you the clues to your passions, or the career or business for you to consider pursuing –

If you’re passionate enough, love it enough, are fuelled enough, and have a raging ‘fire in your belly’ enough … You’ll find a way to DO IT … That’s what it takes …

Find your LOVE and PASSION and pursue it and you will find success. Yes, it will be difficult starting out. That’s the way it is in any business. Let me ask you - do you know of any business that hasn’t taken time, commitment and perserverance to build? It doesn’t happen overnight. (Please avoid getting hooked into ‘get rich quick’ biz opp schemes – most of them are just scams).

If your business is also your passion, YOU WILL find a way to do it, and YOU WILL make it through and won't quit when the going gets tough, because you LOVE it. Once you make up your mind that it’s what you want to do, then JUST GO and DO IT! …

To Your Success!

Expressing Gratitude

2006-04-03T22:41:00.000-07:00

Gratitude has been very much on my mind, as it always is, but it’s particularly meaningful for me right now and in the last couple of days.

Over recent weeks I was feeling especially positive and grateful for what I already have in my life, and looking forward with optimism and expectation for good things unfolding. Together with stating my clear intention for what I want, it has played out perfectly for me, before my very eyes – ‘Voila!’ - a wonderful opportunity appeared for me to be part of a fabulous Internet Marketing Case Study Program. And, I’m in and away! …

There will be many benefits galore and further opportunities so I’m totally on Cloud 9! … Law of Attraction in Action! …

So, its timely that I’ve just written an article on Gratitude for my recent
E-Newsletter edition. I included it here for you. Enjoy your reading and have fun with expressing your own Gratitude ...

Have You Got the Gratitude Attitude Thing Happening?

Don’t you just just love the whole Gratitude thing? – I remember when I first read about it in the context of Personal/Spiritual Development and Law of Attraction, it really captured my imagination. It made so much sense.

Whenever I feel myself getting off course a bit or out of kilter (or going into a mini meltdown about something I’m trying to grapple with, like internet marketing for example! – I’m human too!), I reach for the Gratitude Attitude and express thanks for all the great and wonderful things I already have to be thankful for in my life, right now.

It’s such a great reminder and major grounder. It makes such an amazing and immediate difference to how you feel about things. It's the purest and quickest way I know how to get myself shifted into a positive mindset, to 'Be' in the ‘Moment’, and change my energy frequency.

Gratitude can be your best friend and an amazingly effective tool - and fun at the same time! Take a moment right now and look around you and express your Gratitude for what you have, and feel the magic ...

If something really great has happened and you’re saying thanks, watch out for the physical sensations and tingles that well up in your body in that moment of glee (remember a couple of editions ago we talked about watching out for and learning more about reading the feelings and physical sensations in your body and what they mean – all part of your deepening self awareness).

The more you feel grateful, the more you radiate an energy that attracts more about which to be grateful. When you’re genuinely feeling grateful, in that very moment, you are at the same time creating a space, a vacuum to invite and call in abundance and prosperity into your life.

In her book ‘You Can Heal Your Life’, Louise Hay says ‘Expressing gratitude for what we already have enables it to grow’. So true …

Here are some practical things you can do to get your Gratitude practice happening regularly –

* At night when you’ve gone to bed, for a few moments as you relax, reflect back on your day and express gratitude for the good things that happened. Perhaps even some of the not so good things as you reflect positively on the lesson that it may have brought to your attention and its possible hidden meaning.

Then reflect and give thanks for the broader things – your loved ones/family, your friends, your beautiful home, your wonderful lush, invigorating garden, your great job, or the opportunity to be your own boss, work from home and build a great business you’re passionate about and totally love … and so forth.

* In the morning, look forward to the day and before setting your intentions for the day, reflect on and give thanks for all the great things in your life.

* You can keep a daily Gratitude Journal or Notebook where you set aside a few minutes every day and reflect on what happened for which you are grateful. Do this at a set time, so that it becomes a joyous habit.

* Take a Gratitude Walk, or turn your daily walk into a Gratitude Walk – by using the time for thinking and developing the gratitude and appreciation mindset.

As your eyes focus on the immediate things that come within your close range, as you walk along, you can truly appreciate what ‘being in the moment’ is like.

This is a wonderful time to look at and take in all the wonders of nature around you – the gardens, the plants and flowers, the colors, the scents, the birds, the blue sky, the fresh breeze ... This is also a fabulous way to appreciate the true boundless, natural abundance of nature.

As you continue to walk, keep your mind on all the positives in your life ... from the beauty and variety in your neighbors’ gardens, the changes from day to day, the way your local council maintains communal park areas ... to the way walking makes you feel invigorated and alive … to your appreciation of all the wonderful people in your life.

Give special thanks to the marvel of how magnificent your body is for working the way that it does ...

Keep your positive Gratitude thoughts coming right through your entire walk and you’ll feel fabulous and refreshed, both emotionally and physically.

* And, now let’s focus in on you by having you express gratitude to yourself, for yourself - your talents and abilities, your accomplishments today, your sense of humor, the wonderful qualities you bring to your interactions with other people, and how you make a difference just by being you.

This is a very empowering exercise. Try it. You can even do this while looking in the mirror at yourself and affirming how deserving you are of all good things.

Practice these techniques so that they become automatic and second nature to you. You’ll be so glad that you did … And then, look out for the positive results as they come flowing into your life ...

To Your Success!

15 Key Success ‘Behaviors’ - Make Them Your Constant Practice ...

2006-03-11T04:09:00.000-08:00

Here’s a checklist of behaviors common to successful people to support you in achieving your own Success Mindset.

1. Make the ‘Decision’ to be Successful - Success is a ‘Decision’! …
Success starts with a Decision – to BE Successful! Success isn’t a journey or an end result – when you decide you want something, & mean it with your heart, the journey is what happens as a result of that decision. And, what a journey it is! …

2. Recognize that Success is an ‘Inside’ Job –
You must choose to make the changes & shifts on the ‘inside’ before you can make real changes & achieve the success you desire. Our minds are like a big filing cabinet – you need to insert new positive files to empower yourself to get what you want. Be committed to your ongoing personal development.

3. Know How To Work with the Law of Attraction to Achieve Success
Access & put into practice Law of Attraction principles to help you Get WhatYou Want …

4. Set Goals –
No matter how far fetched, work on your higher Goals. Winners do!

Write down your Goals & Desires & review them daily. Write your Goals into specific Action plans. Break your Action plans into activity lists & chunk them into small steps (at least 3 next steps). Get rid of the time wasters.

5. Take Action!
Successful people know what they need to do to get what they want & they waste no time taking action & doing it … Effective Inspired Action. Success likes speed ...

Just take action. You'll feel fabulous when you do. Make it simple, take the angst out of it, & just do it. It'll make up for a handful of imperfections. Aim for progress, not perfection.

When you take that step, it will shift & move everything forward – you’ll see magical things start to line up & happen in your Life

6. Make Smart Choices to Support Your Success
Ask yourself - will this choice empower me or disempower me? Successful people make choices that support achieving the life of their dreams. The more choices you have & create for yourself the more success you’ll have.

7. Overcome Procrastination -
Be clear on what it would mean if you did it! Don’t put your life on hold – build a life that’s meaningful ... Successful people know how to overcome procrastination.

8. Be a Risk Taker -
You’ll never know unless you try ... Go on, give it a try! You'll be pleasantly surprised & feel like a million bucks! ...

9. See Opportunity –
Be savvy about recognizing opportunities around you. Be aware that an obstacle is often an unrecognized opportunity.

Successful people know how to make their weaknesses work for them. Embrace your weaknesses or shortcomings & turn them into teaching others how you overcame them & triumphed – tell your story ...

10. Know How To Pull & Attract Resources Around You –
Recognize that your weakness or something you hate or aren’t good at doing, is someone else’s passions. Build a network of people who can help you.

11. Keep Learning New Things – Constantly! …
Make this a lifetime habit. Successful people know what they need to learn & equip themselves to get what they want or move to their next success level. They never stop learning. Once you believe you know it all – you’re stationary. The 4 most dangerous words are - "I already know that."

12. Look for Role Models –
Success leaves clues. You need to look at others who have succeeded & gain access to those skills. When you know what the skills are that you need, you can go about getting them.

Successful people admire & model other successful people.

13. Participate in Mastermind Groups –
This is a powerful way to move to your next level by getting together & working with likeminded people. They act as a force field holding the energy of your intention for you – whether learning new behaviors, sharing knowledge, growing businesses, or marketing businesses together. No one can succeed to their full potential without ‘community’.

14. Inspire Others in Your Vision -
Your enthusiasm will be infectious – get other people excited about the possibilities.

15. Know when to Relax & Refill Your Energy Reservoir –
It’s important to replenish yourself ... Keep a balance between work & play & be mindful of the health of your Mind-Body-Spirit …

So, you know how successful people think & act – be one of them! …

To Your Success!

8 Key Personality ‘Characteristics’ of Successful People ...

2006-03-10T22:00:00.000-08:00

Here’s a checklist of personality characteristics shared by successful people.

1. Always Dream Big! -
Successful people always see the ‘big picture’. It takes the same effort to dream big as it does to dream small. You have to believe it’s possible.

2. Have Passion – it’s Paramount! -
‘Do what you love & love what you do’ … Success is more than just money – it’s being challenged, happy, & passionate about what you do, & the success & money will follow …

3. Have Clear Vision & Focus -
Keep your Vision clearly focused before you. Live your highest Vision, & affirm it every day with joy & fun …

4. Maintain Powerfully Supportive Positive Beliefs -
Successful people always see the positive. It’s vitally important to your success that you cultivate positive Beliefs. When we try to make changes, our brain & ego goes for a search in our inner filing cabinet of beliefs to support the status quo. When opposing beliefs show up people tend to cave in.

5. Maintain a Deep Conviction that You Will & Deserve to Achieve the Success You Desire –
True winners know they deserve … Don’t waver because the Universe will pick up on your equivocation & think you’re really not serious about wanting it.

6. Are Persistent - Never Give Up …
Unstoppable people have persistence – you’re not going anywhere without it. If you want it badly enough, you’ll find a way to get it. You’re in this for the long haul.

Winners know how to get beyond problems & obstacles. ‘NO’ does not exist in the Success Mindset. Successful people find their way around obstacles. They see them as a challenge - it fires them up even more ...

7. Are Quick Decision Makers
Successful people are decisive. They know that Success & money likes speed ...

Make your decisions with power & clarity & make more decisions in every day. Each time you make a decision, you become a filter that clarifies what you want & the Universe begins flowing circumstances & people towards its manifestation.

8. Bounce Back from Failures –
Successful people bounce back from failure because they know how to learn from them & see it as a step closer to succeeding. It’s a learning experience that also enables them to de-bug what they’re doing.

The quicker you bounce back from adversity, the faster you’ll get to enjoy Success. It’s a numbers game – the number of things you try, the number of calls you make …

Do you have these characteristics? Know that you can cultivate them – if you can dream big, have passion, clear vision & focus, are supremely positive & believe that you’ll succeed, are persistent, think & act decisively, & bounce back easily …

To Your Success!

Living Your Passion, Your Life Purpose & Making Money at the Same Time

2006-03-09T05:24:00.000-08:00

Another great question came recently from one of my valued Subscribers who asked – ‘How can I achieve my higher potential & at the same time get paid good money for my passion, my hobby, which is writing jingles & slogans’?

In response, here are some thoughts & suggestions that I hope you’ll also find helpful -

The challenge for creative people who pursue their life purpose is how to turn their passion into their livelihood. This is a biggie! ...

You’re achieving & living your higher potential if you’re actually already doing what you love doing & are passionate about it. Congratulations for that! It often takes courage to pursue your life purpose & true calling. You're obviously looking for answers & to find a better way ...

Many people have found their life purpose when they've taken time to reflect & see that something or some hobby they've been doing all along for friends (like coaching, crafts, gift wrapping, floral arranging, gourmet goodies, or whatever ...) fr*ee or charge, is a tradable commodity.

The challenge is then to make the 'internal' shift & put a 'value' on your creativity, talent & contribution - & believe it with conviction!

When we start out in whatever we pursue, it’s good personal & business karma to give generously of yourself & your talents, which you have already probably done. But, there comes a time when you must decide to take action to make this a paying proposition, if that is what you desire.

You may need to go 'inside' & ask some vital questions of yourself & make some 'internal' shifts to achieve what you want 'externally'. You may have some beliefs, conscious & subconscious, that you are/or aren't fully aware of that may be holding you back. Our 'outer' results are completely correlated to our 'inner' thoughts & feelings about what we want & desire.

Ask yourself these questions, in this sequence -

* What is it that I Do NOT Want? What are my thoughts, feelings & emotions around this?
* What is it that I DO Want? What are my thoughts, feelings & emotions? Our thoughts, feelings & emotions directly influence our behavior & results.
* Why do I Want this? Really connect with the emotion of your Why, you're compelling reason.
* What are the beliefs I hold to be true around these areas - positive & negative/limiting?

Try to identify the limiting beliefs that may be holding you back. To get what you want, to achieve your goals, your highest potential, you have to clear any limiting beliefs you may have.

Limiting beliefs stop us from taking action. They get in the way & create blockages to our achieving the success we desire & deserve … They stand in your way of making the changes you really desire.

When you've made the 'internal' shifts, then the 'external' actions you pursue (packaging your proposition, getting referrals, networking, actions to 'attract' 'ideal' paying clients who are more than happy to pay for your services...) are more likely to get you the tangible results you want.

Visit my website often - http://www.allinteractivesolutions.com/ - as I add a lot of helpful content & resources there (fr*ee & otherwise) about achieving & living the life of your dreams using the principles from the Universal Law of Attraction & Quantum Physics.

While at my website, you could also subscribe to my fr*ee 'Your Success' E-Newsletter & you'll get regular tips on how to attract what you desire into your life & get what you want faster & with more ease.

You’ll also have access to my new fr^ee E-Course titled 'How to Achieve a Success Mindset & begin Creating & Manifesting All of Your Dreams & Desires' - which takes you through the process of Self Coaching & going 'inside', clearing limiting beliefs, & raising your vibrational frequency & ability to manifest.

You also may like to consider enlisting the support of a Coach for a period of time to help you move through this process faster & more effectively.

I hope this helps. If I can be of further assistance, just let me know.

Wishing you ALL the very best of Success!

Here's to You having it ALL!

Best Wishes

Overcoming Your Fear & Taking the Challenge Head-On

2006-02-27T04:27:00.000-08:00

Recently, one of my much valued Subscribers posted the following question at my website in response to my 'Ask Question' Panel that asked - What's your single biggest challenge or most important question about what's preventing you from creating a more SUCCESSFUL & HAPPY LIFE that you want & deserve?

My Subscriber's response question was - How can I ensure that I do not feel scared when taking on a new challenge?

In response, here are some thoughts & suggestions that I hope you will also find helpful -

Fear is one of the major things that blocks us & gets us stuck. It's natural to feel fear, we are all human. Our life quest is to conquer that fear, take the chances, move forward, & grow from the experience.

1. The first step or part of the answer is to peel away the layers & look at what's behind your fear - Ask yourself - What's behind my fear? What am I scared of? What do I think will happen? What do I worry about? What’s bothering me? Really listen to yourself & dig deep ...

Keep asking yourself - What is my underlying 'belief' about taking on new challenges? Where does that belief come from or originate from? What’s really holding me back? Why? Be really quiet & listen to what comes up from inside of you. Really listen to yourself, in perhaps a way that you’ve not allowed yourself to do before … Indulge yourself … You deserve it …

If you can pin-point it, define it, see it’s shape, look it straight in the eye, then you can know more exactly what you're dealing with & take the appropriate course of action to challenge it head-on.

Keep asking yourself – Is it rational? Is it a true fact? Does it serve my purpose or best interests? Does it get me what I want? What is the pay off for me in feeling/believing this way? Walk through the worse case scenario.

Focusing on fear, allowing it to paralyze you, blocks what is possible & could flow naturally - your true potential. When we resist our life, we resist the opportunity to learn & grow.

2. Our beliefs have been formed from our past experiences in childhood & our adult life so far. Perhaps things haven't worked out at points in time in the past when you took on a new challenge. Review what happened - What did you learn from those experiences? What would you do differently now?

3. Our thoughts create feelings & if you think them often enough they create a cellular remembrance. Think of it as a well-worn pathway - you create well-worn neural pathways in your brain of thoughts & beliefs that you hold as truth for you.

Well-worn pathways of thoughts like perhaps – ‘If I take on the challenge, I fear I'll fail, & then what?...’ Or ‘I fear that I'll succeed & then I don't know if I can handle the consequences, the pressure, the added responsibilities, other people's reactions etc ...’ Or ‘I fear I'm not good enough & won't make it, it’s too hard or difficult etc …’ or what ever is appropriate to your particular situation ...

When we keep thinking well-worn patterns of thought, we feel the ‘emotion’ – the 'emotional' reaction we had in the past & your body reacts as if the feared event is actually happening right NOW.

4. Also, the subconscious mind is programmed to maintain the ‘status quo’ - so whenever you start to rock the boat a little, & start thinking about or introducing change, your subconscious will go searching through your inner files for the unfavorable past experiences in an effort to derail you & keep you in your safer comfort zone. You may want the change in your conscious mind, but your subconscious is operating at another level.

5. That's why stilling the mind & truly 'being' in the moment is so important. We tend to spend so much of our time remembering past bad experiences & projecting them into our future, or spend our time on the 'what ifs', the ‘maybes’ & the ‘yes buts’ - & these are all being created by our mind.

6. Quantum physics & the law of attraction tell us that what you spend most of your time thinking about is what you get & attract into your experience. So, it’s important to shift thinking time onto the positive outcome as if it were happening here in the now & experience the 'feeling' & 'emotion' of it.

7. The answer is to stay focused on the moment & just do it, step-by-step, stay in the moment, & move forward. Walk into & through your fear & be proud that you took the steps. Congratulate yourself for having the courage to take it head-on & challenge it. When you move forward, you'll feel absolutely fabulous for doing so. Often, we find that the imagined fear we had around a certain 'thing' is nowhere near as bad as what we thought.

That’s why its so important to focus on the ‘positive’ scenario until we jump in & just do it & then actually live out & experience the positive scenario.

8. Another great thing to do to give greater clarity is to ask yourself when you’re facing a challenge – What would the consequences (positive & negative) be if I do this? What would the consequences be if I don’t do this?

9. Everything is 'choice'. At every moment we face choice & make a choice, whether good or bad, whether you move forward or not, you are exercising a choice, even if you don’t do anything, or back away, or put it on hold. It's a choice, a flick of a switch.

The fact that you posed this question reveals that you're wanting to improve your life, & you’re not content to just sit back & live your life on default or auto pilot, so that’s great. You may already be doing some of the above & sometimes its interesting to see something reinforced, or experience a new revelation.

Here's to Your Success & Being Your Magnificent Self ...

Best Wishes
