How to Make Change in Your Life

When it comes to make a change in your life, there is a saying that rings so true to any sensitive brain: “What Ever You Focus On – You Will Attract In Your Life”.

This is the introduction to an e-mail that a member of my business and mastermind team is sending to his patients-customers. I found it so true and simple and valuable that I want to share it here with you: thank you to Dr. Kyle Gilmour.

Whether physical, emotional, professional or personal – focus is a key part of state management. (Simply said, state management controls how we perceive and react to any situation).

In order to change focus and manage your state, there must be daily rituals.

Here are 4 of my TOP FAVORITE RITUALS that have helped transform my life, starting with my day:

1. Exercise. Everybody knows that exercise stimulates the release of “feel good” chemicals such as endorphins. Exercise relaxes the body and reduces stress allowing you to clearly focus on that which you want to achieve.

2. Nutrition. Start the day off with a protein shake after your workout, a fish oil supplement and a healthy breakfast which includes fruits, fresh juices and fiber.

3. Threshold Rules. I learned from Tony Robbins years ago – you must create a “personal code of conduct” or” guidelines” on how you would want conduct your life. These threshold rules allow me to avoid vices and focus on my virtues. These would include guidelines on nutrition, exercise, drinking habits, personal development, family time vs. work balance etc.

4. Positive Mindset. I start every day with 10-15 minutes of morning meditation – to manifest that which I want in my day. Never allow anything negative – such as news, people, or events to influence your emotional state. I’m a firm believer that “he who controls his emotional state over people and events…WINS”.

To this 4 advices, here is a reply by another team member of our mastermind:

Marc Drizin:
Kyle, my friend, mentor, and fellow author Matthew Kelly talks about the need to balance four things to achieve The Rhythm of Life. I’ve switched the order, and use the acronym PIES: Physical, Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual. Matthew talks about the “classroom of silence”, I create that classroom by walking my dog(s) first thing in the morning (usually at 6 am), or as I did this morning, exercising. This takes care of my spiritual balance, and handles most of the physical as well. Intellectual I get from my Plan A work, like the workshop I just gave to 250 folks here in Indiana, and surprisingly for me, one of the hidden benefits of WV and this team. Emotional balance is discovered as we come to grips with our past, while living in the present and dreaming about the future. I love yours, and would like to use them in future workshops and speeches…

You can see here not only good information, but also an example of the chats that our team has daily on Skype with this “Global Game Changer Mastermind ” whose leader is Eric Allen.

7 Reasons NOT to Have a J.O.B./Part 2

Reason #4

PANTYHOSE

As I write this, I’m working.

I’m wearing a tank top and shorts. I’ve got my feet propped up on the deck railing as birds sing at the feeder.

When I had a J.O.B., there was a dress code. And rules about what you could have on your desk. There was limited time for lunch, and no time for creativity. And don’t even get me started on pantyhose! Those high heels I wore were a killer by the end of the day too!!

What would you do with a million dollars?

Happy Shopping

* Give money to charity
* Fund a 529 Plan
* Research cancer
* Retire early
* Travel
* Pay off mortgage
* Tithe to church
* Pay down student loans
* Quit my job
* Spoil my family
* Pay off credit card
* Buy a house
* Invest in my business
* Buy a car
* Invest the money
* Buy a computer
* Go back to school
* Buy an island
* Go on vacation
* Buy parents a house
* Ski everyday
* Buy stuff
* Take care of my family
* Hire a maid
* Become a writer
* Buy a boat

#5 Reason

Your Money doesn’t go as far when you are an employee as almost half your salary will go to taxes.  You get to spend what’s left on living expenses. One of my first self-employed discoveries was that my money went MUCH further- investing in myself or supplies for my business. Owning your own business…helping your dollars expand…It’s a Good Thing!

Reason #6

Focusing on your Weaknesses.

Have you ever heard of a “360?”

That’s when your co-workers and supervisors (and anyone else who wants to chip in) analyze your job performance. You learn all about your weaknesses – and you get a review outlining the ways you need to work on them. Often, people leave these “360” reviews in tears.

In the world of the solo-preneur, we don’t mess with our weaknesses. The motto is Strengthen your Strengths. Hire your Weaknesses. In other words, as you become aware of your weaknesses, you don’t waste your precious energy fixing them.

Reason #7

Many office environments don’t encourage creative thinking or positive energy. Instead, there’s lots of negativity among employees who feel powerless.

In your own business, you set the tone, and you choose who enters your environment. You become deeply personally responsible for every aspect of your life.

This is often more uncomfortable than sitting back and blaming “The Man,” but it will absolutely free you.

It was about 5 years ago

It was about 5 years ago.

Here is an article written by my friend Linda, I couldn’t stop reading ’till I was at the last word. Enjoy it, and then find Linda and become a friend to her too at :

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/profile.php?id=100001149857844

I bought a ticket to see Dr. Wayne Dyer on one of his personal development and motivation tours when promoting his book, “The Power of Intention.” I drove 7 hours to Seattle, WA from where I live here in Oregon. I sat with people I didn’t know because none of my friends wanted to go with me.
I listened to Dr. Dyer’s 2-hour opening speech in awe. I spent the day going through the journal he gave to the participants – as he encouraged us to face our own “stuff” and get clear about our lives. I answered every single item honestly and with as much vision as I could muster.
I drove back home on a “Hope High” that I thought would never go away.
I’m sure you know what happened.

About…. oh, 3 hours into the very next day, I was face to face with “reality.” My old thought habits came back to crush my new “Hope” High. I was face to face with my life, my money problems, and all the “stuff” my current mindsets had created for me. (Where was Dr. Dyer when I really needed him?)
The cynical among us would have us believe that my day with Dr. Dyer (or your day in a similar situation) was bullsh*t. That I was only momentarily distracted from the practical reality of my life. Disillusioned. Duped. Dumb.
Here’s the thing though:

I recently found that old journal that Dr. Dyer gave me 5 years ago. Everything… (everything!) I wrote in there has come to pass. And during these 5 years, I’ve gone to other cool events, read uplifting books, and talked face to face with people who inspired me to no end. Again and again, I’ve gotten lost in the pure potential of possibility. And of course – I’ve had the old crummy thought habits come up the very next day trying to convince me that the possibilities I saw for myself were just pipe dreams.
But I’ve come to see the pipe dream (and the hope high differently) now. After that day, I began to ask myself one very un-cynical question that changed it all:
What if that HOPE, that HIGH, that inspiration I felt was the TRUTH? What if that was the REAL ME – and all this other icky stuff is the BS?

Think about it. From the day we’re born, we’re taught that the cynicism and doubt are “smart.” We use them as a protective shield. We ward off the hope, the dream – and we successfully keep ourselves stuck.
Still, we get these amazing glimpses of ourselves, of what’s possible. We also get these fantastic ideas and opportunities. We see our greatness as if it’s standing right in front of us. Sometimes other people or big events help us see it. Sometimes it’s a book. Sometimes it’s just a moment of pure living in the present moment.

If you’re like most people (and me), it’s easy to crush that hope the minute the voices of “reality” set in.
It is imperative that you learn to trust that hope. Here are five things I’ve learned since that day with Dr. Dyer. They are true even now as I keep on expanding and changing into even bigger dreams. Let them guide you through the new hopes AND the old habits!

1 – It’s much easier to stop trying than it is to keep believing.
It’s so easy to just believe the old habit voices that whine, criticize and shame. Why? Well – let’s be honest – cuz then we don’t have to DO anything!

2 – The Pipe Dream and the Hope are part of the process.
But, so are the moments when our thoughts make something much worse than it is…so just realize they are thoughts…lay them aside and do the work.
Without the dream, you’d never get started. Without the work, you’ll never get anywhere. (And yes, the work is sometimes slow, boring, clean-up work.)

3 – Expecting to feel inspired and happy 100% of the time is the real pipe dream.

I’m a huge believer in Martha Beck’s “shackles on/shackles off” approach.
AND, in my own experience, much of what I thought was a “shackles on/doesn’t feel good” experience – was my assumption about that experience. In fact, sometimes just getting something done or being proud of myself was the “feel good” I was looking for! When I expect inspiration and happiness to constantly be there before I do anything, then I set myself up for staying stuck.

4 – There’s a connection between discomfort and happiness.
We imagine that true happiness is hanging out by a pool sipping froo-froo drinks. While that can indeed be fun – it will eventually get boring. Our souls have more in mind for us than froo-froo drinks. Our souls have more in mind for us than protecting us from failure. Time and time again, I’ve found myself in a stuck place and even move into deep places of discomfort (and then success). Now, I’ve revised what I say to myself when I feel off-balance, “This is the most uncomfortable I’ve been in a long time – but I am so happy and alive! It’s way better than being Stuck!”

5 – Make time for more hope.
Feed your hope, I do this by focusing my thoughts on how I want to BE, In This Moment. Feed your vision, I’ve created a vision board and vision journals for when I travel. Read books that inspire. Hang out with people who believe in you. Make time in each day to tap back into that place of hope and vision. This will act as navigation and keep you moving in the right direction. I am on the same journey as you are…together…it can be the most exciting adventure of our lives….taking it just one day at a time. Now that’s worth a few exclamation points!!!

Love & Blessings,

Linda

A Life-Style lesson by an Expert: Tim Ferris

Tim Ferriss: 7 Great Principles for Dealing with Haters:

these are a video and some comments that I like to share with you today, as you’ll get here very valuable information, and that is giving me time to write the next surprise to you.

Tim Ferriss keynote The Next Web Conference 2010 – Love the Haters from Boris Veldhuijzen van Zanten on Vimeo.

11843466

1. It doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it. What matters is how many people do.

“It’s critical in social media, as in life, to have a clear objective and not to lose sight of that,” Ferriss says. He argues that if your objective is to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people or to change the world in some small way (be it through a product or service), you only need to pick your first 1,000 fans — and carefully. “As long as you’re accomplishing your objectives, that 1,000 will lead to a cascading effect,” Ferriss explains. “The 10 million that don’t get it don’t matter.”

2. 10% of people will find a way to take anything personally. Expect it.

“People are least productive in reactive mode,” Ferriss states, before explaining that if you are expecting resistance and attackers, you can choose your response in advance, as opposed to reacting inappropriately. This, Ferriss says, will only multiply the problem. “Online I see people committing ’social media suicide’ all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you’re never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don’t warrant a response.” This, says Ferriss, lends more credibility by driving traffic.

3. “Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity.” (Colin Powell)

“If you treat everyone the same and respond to everyone by apologizing or agreeing, you’re not going to be recognizing the best performers, and you’re not going to be improving the worst performers,” Ferriss says. “That guarantees you’ll get more behavior you don’t want and less you do.” That doesn’t mean never respond, Ferriss goes on to say, but be “tactical and strategic” when you do.

4. “If you are really effective at what you do, 95% of the things said about you will be negative.” (Scott Boras)

“This principle goes hand-in-hand with number two,” Ferriss says. “I actually keep this quote in my wallet because it is a reminder that the best people in almost any field are almost always the people who get the most criticism.” The bigger your impact, explains Ferriss (whose book is a New York Times, WSJ and BusinessWeek bestseller), and the larger the ambition and scale of your project, the more negativity you’ll encounter. Ferriss jokes he has haters “in about 35 languages.”

5. “If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.” (Epictetus)

“Another way to phrase this is through a more recent quote from Elbert Hubbard,” Ferriss says. “‘To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.” Ferriss, who holds a Guinness World Record for the most consecutive tango spins, says he has learned to enjoy criticism over the years. Ferriss, using Roman philosophy to expand on his point, says: “Cato, who Seneca believed to be the perfect stoic, practiced this by wearing darker robes than was customary and by wearing no tunic. He expected to be ridiculed and he was, he did this to train himself to only be ashamed of those things that are truly worth being ashamed of. To do anything remotely interesting you need to train yourself to be effective at dealing with, responding to, even enjoying criticism… In fact, I would take the quote a step further and encourage people to actively pursue being thought foolish and stupid.”

6. “Living well is the best revenge.” (George Herbert)

“The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you,” Ferriss advises. “That, and [show] how much fun you’re having!” Ferriss goes on to say that the best revenge is letting haters continue to live with their own resentment and anger, which most of the time has nothing to do with you in particular. “If a vessel contains acid and you pour some on an object, it’s still the vessel that sustains the most damage,” Ferriss says. “Don’t get angry, don’t get even — focus on living well and that will eat at them more than anything you can do.”

7. Keep calm and carry on.

The slogan “Keep Calm and Carry On” was originally produced by the British government during the Second World War as a propaganda message to comfort people in the face of Nazi invasion. Ferriss takes the message and applies it to today’s world. “Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers,” Ferriss concludes. “Keep calm and carry on!”

A Shocking Demo of Why You Want to Brand YOU.Inc

The Blue Sunset Yesterday

A few hours ago, thousands of independent associates of the iLearning Global company received the shocking e-mail of the day , which announced the closing of the marketing network part, in favor of their retail mode.

I am one of those marketers for iLG. shocked and unable to believe it at first reading of that e-mail. I’ve been only 4 months with this company, and a genius as my up-line, David Wood, and I imagine how huge can be the shock for him too: he built the best top earners team of iLG in less than 6 months, moved 1000s of dollars in that company, helped 100s of people to make money and grow their business, and one of a sudden, in a few words the company says to him, thank you for your so great work, we don’t need you anymore, bam.

In 30 minutes, this guy came from a shocking news that has the potential of destroying big part of his life, to a continuing of his leadership, his company, his people gathered around him to start over with an other product! That what winners do. Make decision fast, and implement fast. He choose immediately to not complain, not blame anyone nor anything,not to cry on himself, but to go forward and continue!

How could he do that? He followed the rule of success in marketing: brand yourself. He was not dependent of a one company , and still is not, and will very probably never be. He created his own business.inc, and multiple streams of income.

I’m glad I followed Dave, and did what he did, and being able today to continue, like he does, and I do it with him. ILG was his primary business-opportunity, it was mine as well, but it’s only a product, like many others good ,excellent products. It was not his, nor my business. Who do we continue with?

Numis.

Numis is my new product and my primary business-opportunity from today. And I choose as well to act fast, and to continue, to keep my people with the teams that I build able to continue with me , as I continue with David. Remember, people do business with people. Not with things. So we are looking for many others leaders like us, who have or want to create their own business, grow it, and grow themselves as the same time! This team is uplifting for your all life. Don’t believe us, TRY us:

THE STORY OF MISS-MARKETING MISTAKES, in 12 steps, or how to burn yourself fast in marketing – part two -

If you want to be part of the 5% top-earners in the marketing industry, you must read the 12 mistakes that would cost you the loss of this status.
You need to have a good marketing plan , and use in this plan the most effective strategies possible……AND avoid the most costly ones, the money-wasting ineffective strategies. But also, to avoid anything, you must know it. So here is the story of Miss-Marketing-Mistake , or Mimi in 12 steps : steps 5 to 8

5 – Mimi used the old “one-Step” marketing strategy. Big waste of money!

Mimi use the most common strategy that in fact today small business owners use.
She used different classical media-support, like brochures or flyers, cards, or others, where she simply announced her business name, show a small list of basic features that she promotes, and mentioned her address and phone number.

With that type of marketing pieces, she expected the prospect to be responsive by immediately come to her shop and buy her product and service.
This kind of strategy completely forgets the psychology of the buyer, in the buying process. This one step is skipping all others steps. and drive to little to no response.

Mimi took the tree for the forest: she thought her product would be perceived as an exceptional high demand one ( a $4000 value for $500, or a Rolling-stones last concert ticket…) . But it was not, and she went into studying that “psychological buying sequence of consumers”.

6- the “copy’n paste” the competition’s mistakes.

Mimi deduced from the “this is what every is doing” that it must be “this is the right thing to do” . The mistake number 5 can be a very good demo for this:
look at the ads and promotion that small local business publish in newspapers, and /or magazines : you’ll see they all very similar, basic messaging, basic strategy, and basic small or no results.

We all tend to do this, as we feel safe doing what everyone is doing, assuming that what works for others will work equally for us.
We do not look at the big picture, how the success is build in some one’s business: it comes always from several different elements in a marketing strategy: the location, the targeted niche, the small or no competition, the personality the originality……

We rarely take in consideration all the strategic elements when “copying” our competitors, and we miss the pieces that , put all together, can give efficiency to the completed recipe.

Mimi understood her that she’d better start branding herself, be unique and original, and follow the update rules of marketing rather than her competitors “experience”.

7- Mimi did NOT tell her prospects what to do!

What was she thinking? She was “assuming”! Never do that! Assume that the prospect will know what to do when he has read the ad…. what a costly, not result guaranteed mistake!
Once again, when you look at your competitors most ads, you see generally just the address and phone number at the bottom. When you ask the business owner :
” What do you want the prospect to do , after he read your ad?’
The answer is often:
” but come and buy my product! it’s obvious!”
No, it is NOT.
There are 2 reasons to that:
One is the typical marketing piece contains rarely information that makes the consumer to immediately decide to buy,
and two is the competition for the same product or service is all around, and the prospect is not making a decision to buy, based on one single ad.

If you want to be sure that the prospect will respond to your marketing piece, and take specific action that you want, simply TELL them what to do! You as a business owner must know what that action should be.
To know this, as we say in mistake 6, study your customer psychological buying sequence.

8 – Mimi used the basic ” for more info…call…”

That mistake is closely related to the mistake number 7. We have a marketing piece that announces the business name, list a few features offered , ends with an address and phone number, and with the small invite “Call for more information”.

Doesn’t this sound like you are dumb somewhere, not understanding enough about what is said on the ad? What information should you ask for? Why do you have to call, does it mean this company has no brochure or other literature to describe the product?….
That is the last thing that the prospect want to wonder about.

Also, this “call to call” makes the prospects feel pressured, he can expect to get an heavy sales-pitch when he calls, and he surely will avoid this pain….

Instead of this marketing mistake, brainstorm and be creative with some exiting promise, for taking the action that you say.

For instance, as you are at the end of this part 2 of the story, I can strongly suggest now that your action be to put your name and e-mail address into the form on the left here, and get NOW a free big value content marketing video!

WHY BE ORGANIZED IN YOUR HOME-BUSINESS AND HOW? part two

Ok. You’ve watch Daily success Stream website? What did you like in it? What has it got to do with being organized, and try to get all things done every 24 hours?
Many many many things
It’s about trainings, videos, DVDs and audios and CDs that give you high quality Educational Content, and where you can find most of your solutions, to most of your questions, regarding most aspects of your life.

So today, after I stated the main issue of what to do to fit in 24 hours, what requires 28 hours, I’ll tell you how I organized that, and get results that I feel really well with, save me time and money. Which is the main topic of this blog by the way.

“What are those ducks doing here again….follow them, you’ll know”

Lets make it a 5 points solution:

Point one: Don’t put the cart before the horse.

Have an overall strategy for your business, and for your life goals.
Then only, plug in specific monthly , weekly, daily tactics. It’s like you are building a house: layout first, know what’s the big picture, and then start taking the bricks in order.

Point 2 : Choose well the bricks, and how and what for use them.

It’s very important to use the right things , with the right tools, and in the right process.
Yes, you need a process, and the tools, and the map. With those, then I learned to apply the ” 3Ws” rule: What am I gonna do with this (brick)
When I’m gonna do it,
Where I put it if I do it later?
Every “brick” that can be put somewhere in less than ten minutes is to be put there now.

Point 3 : Prioritize, this is an essential skill to learn, if you don’t have it already.

There are so many things to do , you need to be very clear on what is important, what is urgent, and how important it is, and how urgent. I learned a quite efficient way to use this technic: the quadrant page: you divide a page in 4 parts, upper left part is Important to do,
upper right is Not Important to do,
lower left part is Urgent to do,
lower right part is Not urgent to do.
Then you list each item in the category it belongs to, and it’s easy to prioritize this way: you want to stay first things to pick from the left side of the quadrant, and last pick from the right side.
Example:
you want to prioritize something Important, and not urgent, or urgent , before something urgent but not important.
Got it? Skype me if not sure. I’ll be glad to speak with you. That’s important.

Point 4 : Have a DMO, written down. Yes, a Daily Method of Operations.

You’ve list your tasks, prioritized them, know which tools you’ll use to do the tasks, get your bricks ( your contents for marketers) , and you have 24 hours available 7 times a week, as we saw in the part one of the article.
My DMO is simply the written order of my task, scheduled according to my life style, my goals, and guided by previous points 1 2 and 3.
You can choose any system to organize your life and business, paper, digital, planner book, what fits you the best.
I do personaly use an A4 format planner, where I have the view of the week on the 2 pages, and I write every day and time, my tasks on one side for each day, and useful notes and information on the other side. from here, I can track almost everything, especially build my list of prospects and follow up.

Point 5 : Be a good Note-Taker.

That follows the DMO, as it’s essential to be productive. I personally write done everything
, which allows me first, to free space in my mind to think when I need, and not embarrass it my things to remember, and second , I can impress people when I call them, as they see I take them for important person.
Always use , when you have a discussion , the “let me take my notes….” so that you can show how confident and solid person you are, speaking no mistakes, and sure of that.

Those 5 points are basic fundamentals to achieve your goals by being organized, which we have been talking about earlier this year.
The short descriptions here are mainly part of all topics developed by top and best and awarded speakers and business people, CEOs and coaches, who are involved in the ” iLearningGlobal.TV company.

WHY BE ORGANIZED IN YOUR HOME-BUSINESS AND HOW? part one.

We all want to be wealthy , healthy and wise, so we follow the rules that we believe will help us to be successful, to live our ideal lifestyle, to grow our business and our wellness.
But there are so many “rules” out there, that we are overwhelmed so easily, and we look ten for ways to manage to do everything which make us succeed. Today, we are going to look at what is our situation, and how to be organized , in order to reach all our goals of wealth, health and wisdom!

First, here’s the story in which most of us are immersed in:
We are told to eat one apple a day, for the iron, and eat one banana a day for the potassium.
Also, one orange or better a kiwi, for vitamine C and a big cup of green-tea-no-sugar for diabetes.Everyday, we must drink half a gallon of water( and then go to the restroom, which takes double time than you already lost drinking it)
Every day we have to eat a yoghourt, to get our “L.Cassei Defendis” in order to digest all the others things we eat.
Every day one Aspirine to prevent heart-attack, a glass of red wine for the same thing,an other of white wine for cerebral system, and a glass of beer for I don;t know what…If we drink all that at once, we can get a cerebral haemorrhage, but don’t worry, you won’t even see it happening to you.

Every day, we need to eat fibers, a lot of fibers, until the stomach scratches,and we must eat 5 to 6 light meals, and we must chew 100 times each bite. So that if you start counting, you get to spend 5 hours to eat daily.
Ho, and after each meal, you must brush your teeth, after the yoghourt, you must brush your teeth, same after the apple, and after the banana, and so on , until you have just 3 teeth left…. and don’t forget to brush the tongue, and to floss ,and to rinse with listerine….
We have to sleep 8 hours, work, or be active trying to work 8 hours, plus time for eating, that’s 21 hours. You’ve got 3 hours left.
According to the stats, we watch the TV 3 hours, which is not at all possible , since we must walk half-an-hour each day.
We must see our friends regularly, be innovative in sex, wash the dishes and the socks, wipe the floor and change the sheets ,play on the computer, open your e-mails, and I don’t mention here the fact that you might have children, and dogs and cats, or a crocodile in your yard….Yes ,we have duckies. see!?

When you make the maths, that goes to 29 hours per day.
That’s a good motivation to change something in your life, to make more money and less hours working!
I considered many solutions to the 29 hours, before I came to the one that made my life simple, joyful, and with several happy hours a day! ( that, I forgot in the previous list above.., the happy hour, would have make 30 hours total).

If you want to know what is this best solution , what can free you hours of time and at once let you be productive in your business, be patient and read the next article on this site.
