Global Financial Crisis

Posted by Andrew    Posted in Uncategorized    Posted in November 26, 2008    |    No Comments

HI all, once again, the title link goes back to 'Movember' so you can still donate there only a few days to go now, and to be fair I am looking forward to having a shave!

Now today the title says Global Financial Crisis, so I really just want to touch on what it means to the masses and what it means to the minority.
For anyone who has read any of Robert Kiosaki''s books you will know that it really doesn't matter what the economy is doing if you mitigate your risk. When Kiosaki talks about mitigating risk he is in fact referring to educating yourself against what could happen.
In plenty of other teachings we know that when we focus on something thing we are going to get it, and if we then add emotion to the mix, then we are going to get it super fast!

So now think of this, the masses listen to the media, they watch TV the News, all the doom and gloom that is happening around the world, ever heard of Chicken Little? I think you get the picture.
Now the reason I bring this observation up is simple. Note that the sentence said 'the masses listen to the media' So they watch, they read, and all of a sudden, where is their attention now directed? On the doom and gloom right? So therefore due to the law of attraction, they get what they focus on, and if we are referring to the 'Global financial crisis' all we are hearing is that people are being laid off, unemployment is rising, retirement funds are shrinking. Note, all of this is bad, negative news. There is nothing good about it, again, if we focus on that, we are destined only to get more of it.
So then if the masses listen to the media, and watch the news and focus on that, what does the minority focus on and do?
Well I have read in more than one piece of literature that Average people watch the news and media, and that's why they have average results.
What the minority do then is fill their mind with empowering information in order for them to prosper even when the markets are down, or the 'global economy' is shaky.
In effect they DO NOT LISTEN TO THE HYPE AND BULLSHIT that the masses do.
I have been privileged enough to have seen a sneak preview of my good friend John Lavenia's book 'Integrity is everything' and I am so excited to say that John nails this right on the head. It is one of the best books I have had the pleasure of reading on the topic of personal development. It is no holds barred and written in very plain easy to understand English. The chances are if you do not get the message or understand what it is about, they you may very well be stuck where you are right not for sometime, you see it takes a different way of thinking to succeed in any climate, and this is what the Minority know. Johns book is due for its first shipping on the 1st of December, you can purchase it here

OK, so you have heard why the 'global financial crisis' does not effect the minority, and in case you missed it, IT IS BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE NOT TO LET IT EFFECT THEM. So then what can you do about it?
Well the first thing is make a choice not to be a Victim and take control of your life. It might not be comfortable, think of it this way tho, whats a bigger price to pay?

The price of failure and living week to week for the rest of your life?
Or
Growing a little now and going through the discomfort for a little time to have anything and everything you want.
I am sorry, this is a no brainer for me. Hence we have set this massive goal to show you it is very possible to make a million in a year, just with the right mindset!

The second thing you want to do is get very clear on what you want out of life, this is not a dress rehearsal, once you have the clarity and laser focus, the rest falls into place. Once you get emotionally involved in what you want to achieve then it will come super quick, the same as with negative thoughts about the lack of money, you are sure to have a lack of money.

It is that simple, and think of this, what sort of people do you hear saying things like; 'If it sounds to good to be true, then it must be'?
If you said the masses you are right, you really don't hear that sort of comment from the people who seemingly have it all, and it because that know beyond doubt that anything is possible, so long as you believe it is.

I am lucky in the sense that I starting thinking differently when I was a lot younger, I always knew that there was a way out there to have anything I wanted, now, as I have stated previously, it has not always been easy or comfortable. That's OK, because 'the juice is worth the squeeze' Through many trials and tribulations I found a business that is economy proof.
Despite all the doom and gloom in the media, world wide, people are still making anywhere from $1,000 to $20,000 a week. Do you think these people are worried about what the media is saying? I think not.

If you would like to know more about the business opportunity I speak of then visit here to find out what it is all about.
I choose to work with about 8 people per month that are serious about making some changes in their lives and who have some big goals and ambitions. Is that you?

Make it a great day, you all most certainly deserve it.

When riches begin to come they come so quickly, in such great
abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding during all those
lean years.

Winners Creed

Posted by Andrew    Posted in General    Posted in November 21, 2008    |    No Comments

Again the title Link is there so you can easily dontate to Movember!

Here is a little something that was passed on to me from Kurek Ashely, it has served he and I both well, and I would like to share it with you, so here it is;


The Winners Creed.

I know I have the ability to achieve my definite purpose in life; therefore I

Demand of myself persistent continuous action towards its attainment,

And here and now promise to render such action.

I fully realise that no wealth or position can long endure unless built upon truth and justice;

Therefore I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it effects.

I am succeeding by attracting to myself to forces I wish use and the co-operation of other people.

I induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others.

I eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, cynicism, anger and fear;

Because I know that a negative attitude towards others will never bring me success.

I cause other t believe in me because I believe in them and in myself.

This is my creed, this is my quest,

To never stop striving for the top, to always keep moving forward,

To always be the very best I can be.

I am the power, I am the magic, I cannot be stopped, I am a winner.

I promise to always be true to myself, because I am the creator and master of my universe, and I am

Responsible for making a positive difference in the world and to the quality of life in it.

I live in constant and never ending improvement!

That's all I have to share today, Make it a great one I am sure all of you reading this certainly deserve it. Also make it a great weekend.

How Aware Are You?

Hi all,
just a reminder that 'Movember' is still on going and if you haven't yet donated you can still do so by visiting the title link or here.

Many thanks in advance for your generosity.

So now with this post I want to pick up on a subject that I touched on a few weeks ago, and that was of course the Be Do Have I have had a some great feed back from that so thank you all very much.

So now I want to help you out there who want to know where you can start. If we have the ultimate control over our outcome, simply by choosing it, then where do we start?

Well first you have to identify what it is that you want to change. Is it that you want to loose some weight? Do you want to quit smoking? Do you want to create more income? Do you want to have a better relationship?
We have control over all of these things, now this does come with a caveat of course, and that is we have control over these things, once we have taken responsibility for where we are in life right now.
Lets take being over weight for an example, are you over weight because you were picked on as a child? Your parents are large? You're 'big boned'?
Or are you over weight because you eat to much? You have an unbalanced diet? You don't exercise regularly?

Now hopefully you can already see the difference in what is written there. If not, the first set of questions asked if you were over weight due to an outside influence, and the second set asked if it was due to something you were doing, or not doing.
So by blaming the outside influence you are striping yourself of the the power you have to change it. If you are stepping up and taking responsibility you have the absolute power to change it. This is how.

Once we have identified what it is that we wish to change, then we need to know why we want to change it. If for example we wanted to give up smoking, then the obvious one might be for our health.
So now this is where the topic links back with the post I made a few weeks ago of the BE DO HAVE. No I am not talking with a forked tongue.
Bare with me here.
Now when most people want to give something up, or to change something, they look at all the things they are not, i.e. if someone was to quit smoking, more often than not they will say I am going to give up or quit and really who likes to give up at anything? Or worse be a quitter? This is where your BE DO HAVE comes into play.
Now instead of quitting or giving up why not become a non smoker? If you can see the difference in that statement then you are already half way to achieving your goal, any goal. If not then keep looking, it will come to you.
Alright, now you have become a non smoker you are essentially BEing, what then are your actions? What do you DO on a daily basis that is consistent with who you are BEing? Once you have mastered these then you will ultimately HAVE.

So if like energy attracts like energy and BEing is living in the end result, regardless of the appearances around you, and DOing is actions that let you HAVE the results.
What does that person in which you are BEing, do on a daily basis?

This post today was one sent to help you tap into your inner self, to give you the questions you need to be able to make the change that you want to make.

I want to leave you with this today;

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought.
The mind is everything.
What we think, we become"

Two Weeks Into Movember!

Posted by Andrew    Posted in Uncategorized    Posted in November 12, 2008    |    No Comments

Well what a week it has been, and two weeks since we started growing for Movember! Must say, this year is somewhat different from other years.
If you wish to donate towards Movember and Mens health issues then you can click the title link or click here.

So what else has been happening? Well in the past few months I have talked a lot about personal growth, and the journey that we are on. It is fun filled, and not necessarily in the sense that you might think. I have been getting feed back through other mediums and it is fair to say that it has been very humbling and has truly hleped me to grow, and after all, is that not what life is about? As Kurek Ashely says "Your either Evolving, or your Desolving" You see, nothing stays the same!

There is a lot to be said about 'getting to know yourself' you can have some massive insights in to your self and your habits, after all, we are creatures of habit. I know that I have been far from perfect in the past, and there is nothing to predict that I will always be perfect in the future, that does not mean that I should give up, although this is what most people think you should do.
"Never let perfect get in the way of better"
What does that mean? It simply means this, do not let the fact that you are not perfect at something in particular keep you from trying, and giving it another go.

Have you ever heard of the fast food franchise called Kentucky Fried Chicken? Well if not it was founded by a man by the Name of Colonel Harland Sanders. Col. Sanders received his first social security cheque at the age of 65 of $99, he was broke, and as you can read right here. All he had was a chicken recipe. Long story short, he was told no and had the door slammed in his face over 1000 times. Who would have given up after the first one, or the tenth, how about the fiftieth? It would be safe to say that he did not let perfect get in the way of better.
Another example, when we first learn to ride a bike, we start off, well most of us, with training wheels, and then slowly we get weened off those and slowly but surely we ride, not perfect at first, however we do get better.
If we let perfect get in the way of better then we may have never learnt to ride.

So where I am going with all this is here, as long as we keep refining and honing our skill, and as long as we keep moving on, we are going to have success. Here is the kicker though, it starts in your mind. I know too simple right?
Wrong. It is not too simple at all, the problem is that we as creatures of habit like to over complicate things, how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. Simple.
It is safe to say that during the time we have been here I have been working on me, and I sm so pleased that I have, it has helped me to see things in a light that most people never have the pleasure of, and that is something I am truly grateful for.
When you are truly grateful for what you have, how ever little or large it may be then every problem, or issue fades away. Its not that it disappears, it is more the fact that the universe will give you the right tools needed to cope with what ever is going on.

Thats about me for now, however I wanted to leave you with this, a little something that Tony Rush posted on facebook, its great "I Got Scammed" Enjoy the read, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Be…..Do……Have!

Posted by Andrew    Posted in Uncategorized    Posted in November 5, 2008    |    No Comments

It is safe to say that one of the very the corner stones of Personal Development is the principle of BE, DO and HAVE.
You hear it all the time, be the person you want to be, do the things that person does and then you will have their results. I have spoken of this before, and it something that has been bugging me, why has it been bugging me? It was bugging me for one simple reason, when I first heard it, I was open to it, in fact it made perfect sense. As I began to put into practise the principles of BE DO HAVE I immediately got results. Wow I thought, how simple is this, why are not more people using this simple philosophy? Obviously it works! There are any number of reasons why people are not using the principle, fear, lack of faith, self doubt. These would be the most common. I want to go back to my experience however, and the reason for this is quite simply because I was not actually using the principle correctly, and because of this I inadvertently caused a few people a bit of frustration, and for this I do sincerely apologise. Those people should know who they are, and if not, my thoughts are with them regardless. As I have previously posted, I have not always got it right, and I really do need to be, and am truly thankful for that, as if that had not happened I would have never really seen how the BE DO HAVE principle really works.

I spoke with a friend of mine today by the name of Kurek Ashley, this is a guy who really knows what its like to have been down and climbed back up, he is a shining example of what 'can be'. For those of you who have not heard of Kurek he is a 'Peak Performance' coach, he coached the Australian Woman's Olympic Beach Volley Ball team to a gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. He gives one of the best examples of the BE DO HAVE principle on his book 'How Would Love Respond?' in Chapter 11 'The Fortune Teller'. I suggest if you have not read this book that you must!
If anyone knows about pain and suffering Kurek does, and as he said to me today,

"I've been down the road of being at the bottom, there is nothing new for me to experience there".
If you were not looking for it, or did not quite understand the BE DO HAVE principle then you might well miss the message, not that it is not written well, in fact the contrary can be said, no what I mean, is that if you are not ready for the message, you may not see it right away.

I listened to the wake up to success call this morning with Tony Rush from Liberty League international, and he had a guest on the call, another person that I am blessed enough to call my friend, Shannon Lavenia. Now what Shannon and Tony were talking about was about playing games and being able to create cash on demand because of the games. It was very entertaining and very insightful. She also highlighted the very heart of the BE DO HAVE principle. It was because of this that I finally can see the easiest way of explaining it.
When you are in a state of BEing, a lot of us miss the point. Some of us think that acting in the certain way is BEing, and I guess in part that is true. For me however I think the best way of BEing is by living in the end result let me say that again just to sink in;

Living in the end result

For Natalie Cook, 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist, it was buying her display cabinet for her gold medal 3 years prior to winning it.
It is BEing able to live in the moment, even tho the moment may be years away. It is BEing able to stay true to your outcome in spite of what others are saying or doing to cause adversity.

To me, and of course this is my opinion, to be able to see your future so clearly and vividly in spite of what is actually happening around you, and actually living with a knowingness that what you are doing is the right thing and that it will produce amazing results is where your power lies.
When you are consistent with BEing then the DOing becomes apart of your natural flow, and therefore you must HAVE the Results.
Never ever let go of that clarity and vision, for the moment you do, you have a long climb to get back to where you were. It will not insermountable, however it may take more time.

I can not explain it any simpler than that.

I want to leave you with something Buddha said;

'There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way'
