Do You Know How To Get What You Really Want?

There is no difference between the way you manifest in your personal life or your business life. The fears that are lurking in the deep recesses of your mind are the same obstacles that prevent you from having what you want in either area of your life.

Everything you truly desire is manifesting in your life now. The question is what are you really asking for?

If you’re not sure, look at what’s in your life.

You have created what your thoughts give the most attention to. You may on a conscious level desire one thing, but on a sub-conscious level feel undeserving and over-rule yourself with self-sabotaging internal dialogue.

If you are concentrating on something in your life that you are trying to get rid of, remember the law of the Universe stating, “What you resist persists.”

You won’t get the (person, body, home, car) of your dreams by concentrating on how much you don’t want what you have. Acknowledge where you are and concentrate on the positive goal you will achieve.

For example, “I now have the perfect _______ for me. I am truly happy and grateful.”

Be aware of what you say to yourself 24/7. How did you feel just now reading that you have in your life exactly what you really feel you deserve?

Take a look at where those feelings came from. Are you trying to avoid being in charge of your life by putting the responsibility for your situation on someone else?

Affirmations and written goals are a good way to stay focused. Do you have written goals? Do you repeat them out loud at least 4 times a day?

Write your 3 top goals right now.

Accept your life as it is now. While you are resisting some part of your life your energy is focused on something that is not the way you want it.

Can you accept the realization that your life is the way it is because of the choices you’ve made based on the information you had?

Now you can let go and stop blaming either yourself or someone else. There is no longer a need to explain or defend. You did what you could with what you had. End of story!

You can let go and make different choices based on new information. When you no longer have an attachment to what you don’t like in your life, you create an opening for something better.

While you are still hanging on, trying to force something to change, there is no open space for anything better to enter your life. Let go, be open and be ready to surprise yourself.

Most likely there is something you want to do that you’re not or you would like to stop doing something you don’t like. Either way, you are resisting taking more productive action.

What are you resisting in your life?

What do you have to gain by letting go?

What steps are you going to take now to let go and make room for something better?

If you would like personal mentoring, send me an email detailing what you would like help with. As your mentor I hold a bigger vision for you than you hold for yourself. When you have faith and a team that believes in you, it gives you courage. When you don’t have to do it all yourself, all things are possible for you. Commit today to go for your dream 100%.

“5 Keys to Developing the Courage to Go for Your Dreams”

How do you develop the courage to go for your dreams?

That’s the million-dollar question, isn’t it? Because if you don’t learn how, it will not only cost you the millions you could have earned, it will cost you the realization of your passion and your purpose.

It’s a lot of fun planning the vision for your life and the action steps you’re going to take to live your passion. It’s another thing to keep moving forward as it all starts to become real. That’s where the fear sets in and you start to wonder what ever made you think you could do this.

Here are 5 keys to developing the courage to go for your dreams:

1. Move Past the Fear

I’m sorry to tell you I haven’t found a magic pill for this. It has to come from inside of you. Nobody can do it for you. And it all starts with your vision.

There is so much more to creating a vision for your life than just discovering your passion. There’s so much more than just writing down some goals. I would venture to say that you’ve done that before and it wasn’t enough to get you where you want to go.

Fear not! There’s a system for creating a vision for your life, just as there is a system for anything else you want to be successful at. The question is whether you will take the time to learn it.

Discovering your purpose was only the first step. To walk through your fear, you have to be clear on where you are going.

2. Create a Strong Vision

You need a vision that is so strong you can’t possibly walk away from it.

Once you have a strong, compelling vision that’s based on your passion and purpose in life, how could you let anything stop you?

When you know what you want and you’ve visualized it over and over and over until it becomes part of who you are, how could you stop?

When you see yourself in the life you will have upon the realization of you vision, how could you stop?

The answer is, you can’t! You can’t stop; it’s impossible! You can drag out the process, but as hard as you try, you can’t stop!

3. Stop Projecting Future Catastrophes

Are you aware that 95% of the things you spend your time worrying about never happen? So, isn’t worrying about the outcome of things you haven’t done yet ridiculous?

Once you realize you’ve invested so much of yourself into your vision that there’s nothing that’s going to stop you from creating everything you’ve envisioned, what’s the point in letting your fears delay the inevitable?

And it is inevitable. With the vision you’ve created, you’ve tapped into the Universal Laws and everything you need is being drawn to you as we speak.

You’ve used the law of attraction by being clear on what you want and asking for it. You’ve used the law of creating a vacuum by clearing out a lot of the things that no longer fit in your life to make space available for something better to show up. Think about it.

You can run and you can hide, but eventually everything you visualize will come to you if you take all the necessary steps. So why fight it? This is what you want more than anything, isn’t it?

Are you crazy?

Why would you spend your time discovering your passion and creating a vision for it if you had no intention of following through?

Are you the kind of person who does things like this for an intellectual exercise?

Well guess what, the joke’s on you. You’ve created a process you can’t stop. It will move forward whether you have chickened out or not. So what’s the point in trying to avoid your future success?

4. Get Out of the Way

When did you want something so bad you could taste it and then decide you were too scared to go for it?

The only courage you need to go for your dreams is the courage to get out of your own way. Just take a deep breath and move aside.

If you look back over your life, I’m sure you can find many examples when you did just this.

So the next time you feel like your courage to go for your dream has abandoned you, just tell yourself there is no reason to fight it. Falling into your fears can postpone your success for a while, but you can’t stop it, so why even try.

Get back on that horse and keep riding to the finish line.

5. You’ve Always Had It, Dorothy

The good news is you don’t have to worry about how you’ll develop the courage to go for your dreams. You already have it.

When you feel like it’s too big for you to go on, look at how far you’ve come already.

The bottom line regarding courage comes from the Wizard of Oz.

Towards the end of the movie, Dorothy thinks she’ll never go home. Just then Glinda the good witch shows up. She tells her she’s always had the power to go back to Kansas but she didn’t tell her before because she wouldn’t have believed her. She had to learn it for herself.

But to find out how to unleash the power she had inside, she needed to ask for help. Don’t be afraid to ask for what you need.

So my little Dorothy, you’ve always had the power inside you. All you have to do is have someone show you where it is. You’re so much stronger than you give yourself credit for.

Get a mentor if you aren’t achieving what you want as fast as you want it. You may need an outside perspective and a little refocusing. Because when your actions and your purpose are in alignment everything falls into place. Things just flow. I can help you get there.

I’d be happy to mentor you to successfully:

* Make your dreams a reality

* Develop specific, targeted goals

* Take action on your goals

* Create a plan that gives you the courage

* Create a simple step-by-step personalized blueprint to follow

How to Recover After a Dream Falls Through

Just when I had a tight schedule of interviews and teaching, a big project that I as very emotionally invested in and had been working on for several months in fell apart.

And it all collapsed at the last minute when it appeared that it was a done deal. It was a shock and it was devastating to me personally.

I was emotionally distraught and I had an interview to do in 10 minutes.

I won’t go into details now, but I had 2 choices. I could totally fall apart and go into the ‘why me’ victim mode or I could take what action was available to me to repair the situation. I chose to look for ways to put the project back together if at all possible.

I’ve been working on it for the last week and it’s not something I’m able to fix, and now I’m going through a grieving period for a personal dream that isn’t going to happen right now in the way I had thought.

I have not given up on the dream though.

Now, if I was looking for an excuse to not take action on some of the things on my plate, this would be a perfectly acceptable excuse.

But I am going for my dreams 100% because I’ve created a vision for my life that’s running down the tracks like a runaway train. My life is moving forward because that’s the power of the momentum I’ve set in motion. I’ve created my life so that it’s virtually chicken-out proof unless I move to a far away land and take a vow of silence. (Me, silent?)

Wouldn’t you like to create a vision that strong for your life?
Wouldn’t it be great to have a plan that is virtually self-sabotage proof?

Could you benefit from working with a mentor who gets back up and keeps going when things get tough? If you’d like to work with me personally, email me.

I also want to let you know that the Memorial Day special discount on WBES expires at 5:00PM pacific time today. So go the the site above and grab your seat at the lowest price since 2004!

This week’s featured article comes from my observations of too many people looking for excuses for their lack of success. Enough said. Feel free to send it to the whiners and complainers in your life. Unfortunately it takes a lot for those
people to see themselves in anything, so you might use this to give them a nudge.

I know personally, I’m implementing a zero tolerance policy in my life and also my busienss. Our time is too valuable and better spent than responding to those who refuse to take responsibility for themselves.

Remember to join the conversation on my blog where you’ll also find each week’s ezine posted for your comments.

You Take the Good, You Take the Bad…And You Take Responsibility:10 Easy Steps to Successfully Get Where You Want to Go

Sometimes it’s hard to tell when a person is sincerely blocked by a particular situation that once removed would allow them to move forward. I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but I’m finding that in most cases when you remove the block they still do nothing. This is very sad and at the same time, I realize that it is the major contributor to 97% of the wealth in the world being held by 3 % of the people.

Why does this happen?

Let me give you 3 scenarios for lack of follow through:

Before I do, let me just say that these are excuses, not acceptable reasons and you are still responsible for each of these possible choices you make
in your life.

You may not have a clear perspective on where you are mentally and emotionally as far as negative beleif systems you haven’t cleared or not being willing to look at your commitment level to moving forward.

It could be that deep down you really don’t want to do whatever it is you’re not following through on. I’ve done this over and over with Internet marketing programs I’ve bought and events I’ve gone to and even high priced mentoring.

Hey, I never said I was immune to this. But what I found was that I absolutely hated doing it, so I didn’t. And yet, since it’s part of my business, someone has to. It just doesn’t need to be you, I mean me.

Some of this also comes from fear of thinking you are all alone and you have to do it by yourself. If you are sincerely looking you can find help for whatever is blocking you, as deep and dark as you may think it is. You aren’t the only one facing your challenge and you just need to get the proper help to release this block.

Given those situations, if you don’t get clarity in a short time, then you need to look at the solution you’ve chosen. If it doesn’t lead to the results you want let it go, take it as a learning expereince and move on. Don’t try to blame someone else for your choices is the bottom line there.

I do a lot of training courses and live events and there is always something that if it were removed this person or that person could attend or they could succeed. On some occasions I have removed the block once I receive the same request from several people just to see who is real and how is whining.

If someone is sincere in their desire to move forward, they will not only jump on the opportunity once their particular block has been removed, they will follow through to the fullest extent in the course or what they learn at the event.

Many times a person has deluded themselves for so long that they may actually believe they are really ready to move forward when they aren’t, and
probably never will be.

I’m sure I’m not alone when I tell you that most of your potential mentors are more than happy to do what they can to accomodate your needs if you are eager to succeed. Sometimes it’s through more information, preview teleseminars, stretching out multiple payments, having different entry levels to their programs, early bird discount, etc.

But in the end, you are the one who must take action, not only to invest in yourself by buying a course or attending an event, but by taking the information you receive and implementing it. If you think there is something that needs to be added to the course, take responsibility for giving your feedback.

The actual percentage of people who follow through on implementing what they learn is extremely low. This is solely your responsibility.

If you truly are interested in taking responsibility for your life and creating a better life for yourself than the one you have now, there are some very simple steps you can follow.

10 Easy Steps to Successfully Get Where You Want to Go:
1. Clearly assess the reality of where you are now and why

2. Choose the correct path of action for the next logical step for you

3. Find the course or event or mentor that can help you get there

4. Be fully present and engaged during your time with your choice from step 3

5. Do all the work necessary to complete the process of step 3

6. Access your success of how well you were able to complete step 3

7. Ask for more help if you are not clear and needing further clarification

8. Give yourself a reasonable amount of time to gauge your success with this step

9. Repeat step 2-9 until you have achieved your desired result

10. Take your life to a higher level by starting again with step 1

If you would like more information on exactly what it means to take responsibility for your life and the amazing benefits of how this moves your life forward, scroll back to the January 21, 2008 post on this topic.

As always, I’d love to hear your thought about this on my blog.

Don’t Let the Cost of Airfare Stop You from Succeeding

It’s Memorial Day in the U.S. and everywhere I turn, all I see is the high price of gas and how it’s affecting airfares. I’ve even had a few emails today complaining about airfare prices.

I sent this to my training call list of 841, giving them first shot and now I’m opening it up to my loyal blog readers before I release it to my entire list of almost 14,000 people tomorrow.

So, I’m slashing the registration for Women’s Business Empowerment Summit until Thursday at 5:00PM pacific at the latest. This offer could be pulled at any time before that because this is really ridiculously cheap.

I’m effectively giving you back the cost of a normal cross country airfare of $500 as a discount off the already low early bird discount. That means that for a short time, you can grab your seat for Women’s Business Empowerment Summit in Scottsdale August 1-3rd for only $497!

There haven’t been seats priced that low since 1994!!!

No more excuses, seats are now so cheap your friends don’t have any excuse for not joining you.

So get on over to:
http://WomensBusinessEmpowermentSummit.com

You’ll be registered for our free weekly training calls and then be transferred to the page with all the details on the summit so you can register quick!

Grab your seat, email your friends to grab theirs, and all of you book your $99 hotel rooms before the whole place is sold out.

Don’t Worry About What the Gurus Think About You

This is in response to a comment by Susan today on the “3 Ways to Position Yourself” post on April 30th.

Yes, it would be great if the gurus in your industry came out and rallied around the content in your book. But in the scheme of things, it doesn’t influence the quality of what you are creating with your work or it’s ability to help people.

Here’s a tip for you that anybody can use:

A great way to get their support is to send the entire manuscript or a partial manuscript and ask for their feedback as an expert in the field that you admire. It’s much more likely that you will get an endorsement fromt hem and they will support it in the marketplace, because you asked for their input.

It’s natural to have all those thoughts. You’ll always look at all the reasons maybe it would be better to not finish or I better be prepared for any negatives once I do.

Get ready for some conflicts

If you’re coming from a position of disagreement with what the big boys say, there may be some flack coming in your direction. You can’t tell someone the world is round when everyone has always believed it was flat and not have some controversy. You have to ask yourself if your belief in what you have to say is strong enough to want to put it out there and help people.

But I think this is a great idea for a book and will help so many people especially if it’s done by someone who cares about helping in this situation where so many people end up feeling taken advantage of. Depending on the depth and content covered in the book, it’s possible you have material that could go further than a book.

You could get a publisher and I could help you with that. Or you could self-publish, but it won’t get as wide of a distribution. It depends on what role you want this book to play in your career.

How does this product serve you?

You may have heard me say this before, but I don’t approach product creation from a cookie cutter prospective.

Look at 2 things:

What do you want your life and your business to look like?

How do you want this book to facilitate that?

What comes after the book, where does it take you?

Where does it take your readers?

I’m done giving the html template another try so I’m putting it out of my misery. I’m so focused on my move and the training calls for WBES and all the other interviews I’m doing that I’ve let getting a new template slide.

This week’s featured article was inspired by a movie I really wish I hadn’t watched, “No Country for Old Men”. Have you ever ordered a movie and then let it sit because you weren’t quite sure if you really wanted to see it?

Well, I let that one sit for what may have been about a month. I started out by just looking away and then graduated to leaving the room and then to fast forwarding. It was a little too much for me.

Anyway, besides the performances being excellent, what really stuck with me for days afterward was the coin toss. It happened twice. And I kept thinking about what it really said about those people and human nature, so that’s our
article for today. I hope it inspires you to click over to my log and post a comment.

I’m wondering if you’re as tired of reading this as I am of saying it, but I’m still getting ready for my move to Maui. I did some packing of the personal bookcases in my bedroom and packed my office supply closet, but until I know exactly when I’m leaving it’s hard to pack up too much more of my office.

Tuesday night I interviewed Fran Harris on how you can have a 6 or 7 figure speaking business without ever getting paid to speak for the training call series for Women’s Business Empowerment Summit and the call stopped recording while I was still doing the intro, so I’m checking to see if Fran is available to redo the call.

If you haven’t signed up for the calls yet, you’ll get the link to the call and the replays in your welcome email. Next week I’ll be interviewing Norma Hollis on finding your authentic voice and how that leads you to wealth.

The interview Rick Frishman from Planned TV Arts did with me last week is still available for replay. Call 507-726-3837 We talked about the summit and also how to discover your passion and create a blueprint for the life of your dreams. It turned out to be a conversation I haven’t had with anyone else, so I think you’ll find it interesting.

Last night I was interviewed by Carolyn Ellis, on “Your Dream Career.” I know divorce is an issue that some of you are facing as well, so I wanted to be sure you knew about this. So if you registered for that call last week, I’m sure Carolyn will be forwarding you the replay details.

On May 27th I’ll be interviewed by Selma Santos for her series, “Honoring and Loving our Children around the World” You can get information on that call at this site: http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=2962794
