Empowering Your Belief

Posted on June 9th, 2010 in Critical Thiking, Self Development, Mental Cleanse MasterMInd Sessions, Personal Development, Recent Posts by Laurie

Recently I had the good fortune to get on a call that, I can only say, I still feel  resonating with the energy and vibrations stimulated by the topic of discussion:  BELIEF.

Talk about residual input!  We were encouraged to share one moment of success or something good we each experienced in the past week or so – and share we did – everyone on the call did – believe it - I was there.  And the successes ranged from personal to business and were all a cause to really celebrate.  Some stories included being in the moment, in the “flow” and having things just appear or line up as needed – incredible.  Others were triumphs, still perhaps in the flow, of product sale, product testimony and new relationships to build.

There’s a new buzz of awareness within this Universe which we all are a part of, not to re-invent but to become attuned to a timeless truth within us all.  A Belief so strong it’s woven into the unconscious, yet we act upon our Beliefs every single moment.   Leaders, Coaches, Mentors, teachers,  are accelerating their efforts to reach out, encourage, support and help anyone willing to listen to Believe in themselves.

You’ve probably heard this a thousand times by now, that All that You need is already within You!  What You Think, You then Believe You Are!

Let me take this a step further.  One predominant thought throughout the evening was the power within a single word and it’s positive or negative effect.

When You hear the word, L o v e, every single person reading this automatically brings forth the definition of it; we can relate on various levels to the emotional impact this word implies.  Think of it, LOVE was first felt and expressed by our ancestors as a feeling or emotion; then later perhaps transferred into a symbol to express the emotion, and finally a civilized word for all to understand.  So since the beginning of time, the word Love, the emotion or feeling it emotes, has always been interpreted on a universal scale as a positive, powerful and good thing!

Naturally, Universal Law  demands that with every positive emotion there is an opposite negative emotion, and of course through time negative words have also been passed down to the present time.

Words have Power, and within that power (the meaning and definition we attach to each word) resides our Belief.  The Belief we have in ourselves comes from what we choose to say and feel.  Through the use of positive emotions and words we can celebrate even the smallest of victories; by the same token, we can totally destroy our self-esteem, confidence and even doubt our value when resorting or allowing a negative word to escape our lips.

The Word alone, Belief, cannot elevate Your Being nor move You forward or backward – after all its “just a word.”   When You fortify the word with a decision to focus on all the positive and good things, and being  the emotional creatures  that we are, Feel it - nothing can stop You from moving forward, experiencing more successes to Celebrate!

By Definition the word Self-Talk is Mental Thinking:  The things that an individual says to himself or herself mentally.  Think about that power for a moment!  What are You saying to Yourself?

Consider this:  The Power of Your Self Talk Builds Belief.  Re-examine Your Self Talk – what words have You written down and/or memorized?  You must Believe every word You’ve chosen within Your Self Talk in order for Your Belief to grow.

Did You know it takes 21 days to form a habit?  It takes just as long to break a habit You no longer wish to participate in as well.  Do You Believe that?

Any Critical Thinker will want to question and consider the truth behind that above statement.  Are You willing to discover the Power of Your thoughts and words? 

Challenge Yourself for the next 21 days.

1.    Celebrate any and every success daily; No matter how small, Celebrate any good thing that happens – whatever Your going through, if You look hard enough and keep the right attitude, You’ll find something good about the experience. Believe it!

2.    Stop All Negative Words.  Be conscious and aware of Your choice of words and do not allow any “bad” or “negative” utterance to escape Your notice!

Dreams Create New Careers for the Unemployed!

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 in Critical Thiking, Self Development, Success Stories, Personal Development by Tracey

New Careers birthed for the unemployed in this dubious economy!  I recently read an article in Parade magazine by Mitch Albom titled, ‘Dreams Do Come True’ that inspired me and reminded me that this happened before as a result of the Great Depression.  The article is a story about Tom Smallwood, who like many over the last year and a half, found himself unemployed two days before Christmas in 2008.

This is a trying time for many in the United States and around the world, many are losing hope and having a hard time keeping their dreams alive as their savings and retirement dwindle away.  If this is you then this story is for you!

It is about bring our dreams to life and stepping out of what we consider ‘normal’.  For many it is time to rekindle our passion, our dreams and to find a way to make money doing the very thing we love!

We all have dreams and talents in which we excel, things that we have a passion for. Unfortunately most have been told to put those things aside, to keep them as a hobby. That they are not what has been considered a viable means of survival; that will support our selves let alone our families.

We have been told to be practical, to go get a ‘real job’.  Just like Tom had a ‘real job’.  Tom was a second generation autoworker, following in his Dad’s footsteps, until that day he was fired.  Tom, unable to find employment anywhere, still need to provide for his wife, 1 year old baby and to pay the mortgage.  Tom was uncertain of how he would do this in today’s tough economy.

Tom loved to bowl and was good at it, but knew in ‘normal’ times this was what was considered a nonviable means to support his family.  But in these times when the ‘normal’ rules no long apply, Tom picked up his bowling ball and went to work!  And work it did!  One year later Tom earned the title of PBA World Champion and a check for $50,000.  More than he had ever earned for a year’s wages working for someone else at a ‘normal’ job!

So to all of you out there wondering how you are going to survive and recover from this economic nightmare that you find yourself, grab your passion and find a way to make money doing it!  In the past you may have been told it was silly and no way to earn a living, but today it could be your saving grace!

So pull your dreams and your passions out of the closet that society told you to stick them in, dust them off, polish them up and turn them into your ticket to success!

The Four Pillars of Deceit

Posted on December 12th, 2009 in Self Development, Critical Thiking, Mental Cleanse MasterMInd Sessions, Skills Training, Personal Development, The 5 Pillars To Success, Recent Posts by Ken

Pardon me while I take a break from the
Five Pillars for Success. Time for a little
critical thinking. I’m not trying to stir up
debate, just to open Your mind. This a long one,
so please bear with me…

Dogmatic vs. Critical Thinking

Lies, Myths, Money and Power

…and The Four Pillars of Deceit

Tom “Big Al” Schreiter taught me Decisions are made by
the Subconscious Mind, although we’d like to think our
Conscious Minds are in control. He also taught me how
to employ this knowledge to influence the Subconscious
Minds of others directly.

Unfortunately Tom is not the only master manipulator of
the Subconscious. There are many today and there have
been legions of them throughout human history.

I believe Napoleon Hill teaches us in “Think and Grow
Rich” how to break the bonds of manipulation and take
Conscious control over our thoughts.

First we need to understand something about Truth.
TRUTH resonates deeply within us and we recognize it
when we encounter it.

Tip To Attract Abundance Thru Your Vibration

Posted on December 2nd, 2009 in Critical Thiking, Self Development, Whats Your Plan?, Mental Cleanse MasterMInd Sessions, Recent Posts by Laurie

A quick tip shared by Susan Hanshaw to raise Your vibration is when someone asks You
“how are You?” notice your response.  Do You typically answer “fine”, “ok”, “hanging in there”?  Or do You respond with a resounding “Awesome”, “Fantastic”, “Fabulous”?

When You notice the way You answer this simple question it can tell You a lot about where Your vibration or energy levels are, and in turn what You are creating and attracting!

Check it out.  Just say, “I’m fine.”

What’s Your energy feel like? How  does that make You feel inside emotionally, spiritually?  Do You get an uplifed and excited feeling or do You just feel fine?

Ok,  now try saying to Yourself,  “I am AWESOME!” Say it with FEELING and conviction. (Stand in front of a mirror and SEE Yourself expressing that higher vibration - nobody will know!)

How do You feel now?

Be honest, do You feel the same as Your previous response or has Your energy increased?

The entire Universe and everything in the universe is Energy, including the feeling behind the words we choose to think and speak.  The words You use have meaning to You.

In critically thinking would it be in Your best interest to be aware of what Your projecting and attracting?

The next time someone asks You “How are you?”  What are You going to say?

Staying in the “positive” means aligning Yourself with Positive people.  If Your struggling or a bit frustrated and not attracting abundance in Your life and business, make a Critical Choice for Change.  You can start with our Free Ebook, Success in 10 Steps; download it today and see if Your Vibration doesn’t positivly change!

Have an AMAZING DAY!

What Are You Attracting In Your Life Today?

Posted on December 2nd, 2009 in Self Development, Critical Thiking, Mental Cleanse MasterMInd Sessions, Notes from the Universe, Inspirational & Motivational Video's and Quotes, Personal Development, Recent Posts by Laurie

I read an interesting blog by Susan Hanshaw I want to share about Raising Your Vibration to Attract What You Want

To simplify, Your vibration is Your Energy, and I think we all know our energy levels fluctuate on a daily basis.  I’m not referring to the physical here, it’s the emotional and spiritual Vibration I’m addressing.

I’ve often noticed a smile begets a smile (mostly, or I see shock on a person’s face that someone actually noticed them and smiled a greeting of hello).

The other night I came home from work and brought my “high” vibration with me.  Together my daughter and husband and I made dinner, had a light, uplifting conversation, teasing each other about our day.  I noticed I was doing a bit of a jig when cleaning up the dishes and entertaining my family with little quips.  Although my daughter was rolling her eyes at me she was laughing and so was my husband.

I noticed I didn’t get the usual grumbling about a hard days work from my husband or the “I’m fine” polite conversation of “pass the condiments please.”

My Energy was attracting and lifting my families vibration!

The point is I’m raising my energy level or Vibration and staying within the positive emotions that in turn attract more of what I’m putting out there.

Focusing On Quality to Create the Dream

Posted on November 17th, 2009 in Critical Thiking, Self Development, Notes from the Universe, Personal Development, Recent Posts by Laurie

“All pathways to success are dotted with enticing rest areas where laziness can cause even the best of dreams to sputter and stall…..” (a commentary by Stephen Covey)

Dear Universe:

This morning I read an excerpt on a couple of famous comedians and a hotel magnet’s success in life. One common thread for their success was a focus of quality efforts to detail they incorporated while working through the “hard parts” in their everyday life. Success would not be achieved had they not persisted in striving to add quality in all aspects of their life.

Is it an inherent part of human nature to take the “easy” route?

I cringe when I hear the word “lazy.” It conjures up a dozen other adjectives that can literally suffocate productivity in the every day actions I take to succeed in my life.

YUCK! To even put the words in print would be like puking negativity all over the place. Yet I know if not careful I could be easily enticed to set aside productivity and “rest idle.”

Every day there is a “To Do List” of things that must be done to achieve success. Yet it’s very easy to ignore the details or put off the “hard parts” of a job or task.

Instead, I resolve to tackle the hard parts with a “focused Quality” in mind in both my business and my personal life.

Quality or lack of affects the way I speak, dress, work, entertain, and generally how I feel about myself! It impacts how I walk, teach, listen, exercise, learn and play. It is one of the principles that is ever woven throughout the entire tapestry of my life, directly and indirectly touching everything I am and everything I do. Quality doesn’t require a lot of expense just careful attention to detail.

One True aspect of success is in the quality put forth in every day actions and efforts.

To strive for quality in every task, doing my best at the moment puts me in the best place for the next moment

Why You Should Never Tell Your Best Friend Their Spouse is Cheating on Them

Posted on November 8th, 2009 in Self Development, Critical Thiking, Marketing Tips, Skills Training, Companies/Opportunities, Personal Development, Recent Posts by Ken

Let’s say I have a best friend named Carl. We’ve been friends a long time. We care very much about each other. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for Carl, and nothing he wouldn’t do for me.

One day I found out his wife was cheating on him. I went to a new place, Joe’s Pub, on a Friday night and saw Carl’s wife in a corner booth in the back, snuggling and smooching passionately with I guy who wasn’t Carl.

I didn’t say anything to Carl. The next Friday night, I went to the same pub and saw the two lovers again in the same corner booth. I still didn’t tell Carl.

The following Friday night, and there they are again! Somehow, I’ve got to let my best friend know he has a real problem. Remember, I would do anything for him.

But, if I tell him, “Hey Carl, Your wife is cheating on You!”, how will he react?

Probably something like, “You’re full of crap, Ken! She would never do that. You’re an a-hole!”

But I’ve SEEN her with the guy! I’m obligated as a friend to do something, but I don’t want to risk losing the friendship in the process.

Even if Carl learns the truth later and says, “Ken, I’m sorry. I should have listed to You,” there will still be a scar on our relationship.

So, what to do? What if I arrange for Carl to discover the truth on his own?

“Hey Carl, what are You doing Friday night?”

“Nothing, Ken, just watching TV as usual.”

“Listen, Carl, there’s a cool new place in town everybody’s talking about - Joe’s Pub. Why don’t we go there together, check it out, have some fun?”

So, we go to Joe’s Friday night, and I arrange it so Carl is sitting facing the corner booth in the back. At some point, he spots his wife smooching with her boyfriend. Carl says, “My God! That’s my wife back there in the corner!”

I turn my head around to look and say, “No, that’s got to be someone who just looks like her.”

“No! It’s her, it’s HER!” Carl shouts as he rises out of his chair.

I grab Carl and say, “No, man, this is not the time or the place. Let’s get out of here and talk about it somewhere else.”

Now Carl knows the truth and I can be there for him as his friend to help him through this.

What does all this have to do with Network Marketing?

Let’s say You have a friend who’s in what You know is a bad MLM company. You’ve researched and found out the owners are crooks who will probably grab the money and run to Cyprus to avoid extradition.

Or You know the products are crap and no one will buy them and the price they demand, or - even worse, there IS no real product or service - it’s just a Ponzi scheme.

Or their compensation plan is so bad, even though the company is raking in so much cash their headquarters are expanding to overtake an entire county, their distributors are starving.

Or whatever.

Should You tell Your friend at the risk of Your friendship? He’s bought into it hook, line and sinker. He’s MARRIED to the dumb thing!

He will probably think You’re just trying to recruit him into YOUR company by bad-mouthing his.

Better to point him to someone like Mentoring For Free, where he will be educated and learn how to spot red flags on his own.

When he becomes a critical thinker, then he will discover the truth on his own - and You’ll be the trusted friend who pointed him in the right direction.

Heck, he might even join You in YOUR company!

Your Friend and Servant,

Network Marketing - You Are Perfect to Play!

Posted on November 3rd, 2009 in Critical Thiking, Self Development, Whats Your Plan?, Mental Cleanse MasterMInd Sessions, Recent Posts by Laurie

I shared this with my dear friends and Mentors this morning.    “I think I just got “IT” when you say, “Your Perfect Just The Way You Are…”

I always looked at that statement to mean anybody can “play this game” no matter Your background, education and such; but I didn’t take it further - I don’t think I took that from my head into my heart.

My kids were watching an older movie, “Dodge Ball”, with Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller; a bunch of misfits from a run down gym gathered together as a team to compete for the National Dodge Ball championship - the prize money to save the gym.  The usual slap stick, funny in parts, brilliant really when I stepped outside of the humor and saw simple people with their “fears” and “lack” super exposed in a comedic way.

The “leader” is riddled with his own “fears,”  and accepts the flaws and weaknesses in each individual.   While they come together as a team to practice and play the game,  their strengths emerge one by one.  Their weaknesses take a backseat.  Each member on the team draws upon an inner character strength when he or she was ready.  At the end of the movie, Vince Vaughn has his gym and walks across the screen saying,

“Hi. I’m Peter so n’ so, owner and operator of Average Joe’s Gym.  I’m here to tell You, You’re perfect just the way you are.  But if You feel like losin’ a few pounds, gettin’ healthier, and makin’ friends in the process, Joe’s is the place for You…”



I’m perfect right now, today with all my faults and flaws and weaknesses because at the same time my strengths are emerging in my own time.


I’m an Average Joe with a dream.


My plan?


I’ve aligned myself with a team of like-minded people all desiring what I desire; people who have successfully achieved their dreams!  Mentoring For Free led me to my mentor, who in turn is leading me away from wallowing in weakness, my frustration with lack, and helping me grow in strength, confidence, and self-assurance right into my burning desire.


I’m perfect just the way I am and am ok with failing forward.   I don’t want to “dodge the ball” anymore or take a hit and sit on the sidelines.   I want to catch that ball and run with it. I have the team and the tools I need to Succeed; as an added bonus I’ve received friendship, guidance, understanding, patience and belief until I could believe in myself.


My Team gave me TIME to understand I’m right where I should be.  Today with their help I’m strategically re-formulating my plan to achieve my “Why.”


If you want to get into this Game, download our free ebook, and don’t worry  – “You Are Perfect Just The Way You Are” to grow into anyone You want to be.



					
						
			



				



				

		

	




	



	
		

					


				
Are You on Network Marketing System Overload?



				

					Posted on  November 1st, 2009 in Success Stories, Self Development, Critical Thiking, Mental Cleanse MasterMInd Sessions, Skills Training, Personal Development, Colors Training, Recent Posts by Laurie 				



				

					
So are You on System overload?  Do You have a system that goes, “blah blah blah” course after course, manual after manual, theory after theory?  Do You have so much information thrown at You Your mind is like scrambled eggs on a griddle?


Have You figured out yet that maybe the system Your using doesn’t meet Your style of learning?


There are two types of people in Network Marketing.  The first group is those that have figured out they need a system in place that can first provide ongoing education and skills training and secondly help them duplicate their mentor’s success.


The second group is those suffering for Network System Overload and haven’t figured out they need to be in the first group to achieve any sort of consistent success.


Since both groups are interested in creating a business that provides financial freedom to enjoy life, with a few other personal desires sprinkled in the scenario, what advantage do some have in accomplishing their goals and heart’s desire?


They found a system that works with their learning style allowing them to truly duplicate on-going success.


Not everyone learns in the same manner.


Some of us are auditory learners, some visual and some “hands on” or kinesthetic.  Add the fact that individually we have different strengths, abilities, and weaknesses, it stands to reason  You need a system in place that complements Your style of learning.  A system that enables YOU to successfully learn and participate in Your choice of business.


If a system only offers knowledge and a theory of business practices in written dialogue, a visual learner may excel in understanding and putting this knowledge to use, but the auditory and “hands on” learner will have difficulties.  If a systems only offering implies getting into action by a “watch me and do what I do,” plan, the visual and/or the auditory learner will go nuts trying to implement action before education!


For real success Your system must provide You with all the tools to meet Your individual needs, whether its audibly, visually or kinesthetic.  You need a system that compliments not only Your style but offers Leadership and coaching geared to Your strengths.  This System needs to provide personal development, practical business techniques, and knowledge of how to build a successful business by offering on-going and up to date skills training, and effective methods for lead generation.  Most of all Your system must be able to duplicate so You, in turn, can teach others!


There are some people who have found a system that meets these criteria encompassing all they need and allowing them to consistently build a successful network marketing business.


If You want to grow Your business, be an effective presenter and lead others ask Yourself this:  Would it be ok if You had a duplicatable system geared to Your Style of Learning?  A system in place that provided ongoing education, hands on skills training, personal growth to develop Your leadership skills, and a host of professional network marketers available to mentor You every step of the way through Your business?


If you’d like more info on a truly viable and successful system offered for Free, start with our Free Ebook, Success in 10 Steps and start learning Your way to Success.



					
						
			



				



				

		

	




	



	
		

					


				
How Do You Eat a Bear?



				

					Posted on  October 28th, 2009 in Critical Thiking, Self Development, Skills Training, Personal Development, Recent Posts by Laurie 				



				

					
“A young woman of old surrounded by a population of giants responds to a comment made by her Priest of all the changes she’ll have to make in order to get along and fit in.


She wonders back, “Father, have you considered it just might be the others making all these changes?“


“I fear you’ve set yourself an impossible goal,” he chuckled.


“How impossible?” she asked.  “As impossible as my eating a giant Bear by myself?  I could do it you know.”


The Priest, appreciating a good sense of humor, responds with a smile, “How?”


“I can, Father,” the young woman replies, “One Bite At A Time!”


Today I was reminded of this small segment in a book while I paced from room to room surveying all the unfinished tasks and projects and goals I had set for myself from the day before.   I’m ok with not completing my entire “wish” list of tasks but yesterdays efforts seemed less than desirable as I was caught up in my families dramas, needs and distractions.


Intellectually, I know the importance of being organized, planning out the day before I begin it (maybe the night before even) and sticking to the Plan.  Life, though, always seems to throw a curve ball into my “good intentions.”


I’ve repeatedly drummed the importance of my purpose at home to my family. I stress the need for time, space and lack of interruption to accomplish my desire for a livelihood from home.  I haven’t made much of a dent in their understanding.


This mornings drama of searching for a coveted hoodie, seemed an extension of the day before.  It’s my tendency to look and search for something until I find it (this can take days, months, years until I get it into my head the item is truly lost; I know, it‘s a shortcoming I can‘t seem to overcome).


It took me a moment but I became consciously aware that I myself added to the drama and distracted myself by involving my energy along with my daughters.  I allowed myself to get distracted from my purpose.


Ok, enough!


It was then I then remembered being impressed with the above.  Ahh, that put a bit of focused perspective on the day.  In order for change to happen, I have to be a part of the Change!


I stopped searching high and low for the hoodie and declared that I would not make a lunch I specifically reminded someone to prepare the night before.  Today I took a bite out of the Bear enabling the change I wish to accomplish.


There is always going to be interruptions and distractions, that’s a given!  But as is my tendency, I can persistently focus my energy in searching for those Changes I seek!  As far as that mountain of tasks I desire to accomplish? Maybe I wont get everything done in one day, but I can consistently chew through them “One Bite At A Time.”
