If you are interested in blogging, consolidation, debt, and
other financial topics are sure to appear in many of the
blogs that you regularly read. Techniques to make and
manage money are some of the most popular topics for
bloggers to explore on the web, so it is little wonder that
so many bloggers turn their attention to dealing with
debt. Falling into debt is all too easy, and getting out of
debt can be very difficult for people who do not have a
lot of financial expertise. For people who have a knack
for dealing with finances, blogging about their insights
and knowledge can be a great way to literally and
figuratively share the wealth.

If you are considering getting into blogging,
consolidation, debt, savings, and investment topics can
prove to be very fruitful things to write about. Many
professional bloggers who make a living off of their
blogs spend their days writing about money. If you
know how to court advertisers and build a blog fan
base, you can make money just by talking about money.
If you are familiar with loan consolidation, negotiating
settlements with credit card companies, or any other
financial topics, consider using your knowledge to
create a successful blog. By sharing your expertise, you
may be able to help your readers get out of debt while
you reap sizable monetary rewards for your time and
knowledge.

Lean January

Posted by Andrew    Posted in Uncategorized    Posted in January 29, 2009    |    1 Comments

Well It has been a lean January as far as BLOG posts is concerned, that's not to that January has not been fantastic!

I have now been back from LA for almost three weeks and what an amazing three weeks! We are starting to generate some great momentum with our business and we are on target to be meeting some of our goals!! So it is safe to say that we are very excited, well I am anyway!!

So whats been happening, why was I in LA? I was in LA to attend our 2009 Kick Off event and it was a whistle stop tour, it was absolutely fantastic! So many great insights from so many great people, people of integrity and are not interested in be-littleing others, why? I would surmise that it is because they are far to successful to try and point out the flaws in others or make slanderous false remarks.

Yes the people I choose to associate with (these days) have integrity, more so than anyone in the past that I have had the opportunity to associate with. Well apart from my Military days, and even some of them were questionable.
Now I wonder why that is? Is it because of some outside force? Is it perhaps because I have moved countries?
The answer in case anyone was wondering is most certainly NO, it is not.
You see what I have learnt on my journey here, and do not get me wrong, I still have some ways to go, is that is that no matter what out external influences are, no matter what our circumstances might be, until we change the way we look at things then nothing will change.

I would like to share this with you if I may;

There was once a Farmer who lived on the edge of town, right off the main road. One day, this farmer was mending his fences when a wagon came rolling up. It appeared to be a new family moving into town. There wasn't a single space anywhere on that wagon that didn't have a box, blanket or frying pan strapped to it or hanging off of it. As the wagon got nearer, a man on the wagon called out.

"Howdy. We're thinking of relocating to this town. Do you mind me asking what sort of folks live in these parts?"

The farmer called back, "What were the people like where you came from?"

"Not a kind bunch," said the newcomer. "They'd stab you in the back just as quick as look at ya."

"Well that's exactly the kinda folks you'll find here."

It wasn't more than an hour or so later when another wagon approached looking much like the last. It was another family looking to put down roots.

"We're fixing to move into town. We were wondering what kind of people we'll find here," says the man sitting on the wagon.

"What were the people like where you came from?" asked the farmer

"Oh they were wonderful! Any one of'em would give you the shirt off his back," said the newcomer.

Then the farmer said, "Well, that's exactly the kinda folks you'll find here."

So what am I getting at with this little story, (which by the way is out of the best personal development program I have ever seen!! Beyond Freedom) We can not out perform our own self image. As long as we are seeing things in a certain way we are going to attract certain people, things, what ever into our lives.

What I am getting at here we do not see the world as it is, we see the world as we are. If we see the world from the point of view of a victim, then we are a victim

So when I referred to my past, I made a lot of decisions out of lack, or a poverty consciousness, that of course set me up to fail.
Now in referring to my past I made mention about some of the people that I used to associate with, and this not limited to the people I contracted for, it includes the people I chose to go into business with. The reason I made mention of this is it has a direct connection to the story I just laid out above. I was seeing the world as I was, I thought that everyone was out to get me because I had made decisions from a lack perspective. When operating from the perspective, no matter how much you think that you are playing win/win you really are not, you are playing for yourself. And because I had made decisions from that lack perspective, others suffered.

So whats changed now? Well I am living at the cause of my circumstances for one, and now I am still seeing the world as I am although now when I look I only see opportunity, I see so many things to be thankful for.
Here is an example, some of the people I used to associate with find it necessary to post blasphemes and false comments about me on the Internet, you see they are operating from a lack perspective. I have a choice, I could be angry and upset about it, and I believe I have every right to be, however instead I choose to be thankful for that. I am thankful for that for a number of reasons;

  • It has shown me how much I have grown.
  • It gives me more drive and power to complete what I have set out to do.
  • It Reminds me of who I am no longer.

Just a couple of reasons there that I am thankful, and it serves me well to reflect upon that from time to time.

So I am thankful and full of gratitude to all the people, who I might ad, don't even use their real names, who have posted ill informed and down right untrue statements about me on the Internet, you know who you are. I know they will be reading this. Instead of empowering themselves they are slowly wilting with negativity.

So, again, thank you, thank you, thank you.

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.
