When Columbus first proposed the idea of the world being round, everyone must have thought he had gone mad. I mean, look in front of you. It is clearly visible that the earth is flat. Most people have been to the ocean, and it really looks that way doesn’t it? After you reach the end, you will fall off the edge of the world. The thought of being able to go completely in a circle around the world and ending up right where you started was outrageous. Who would have known? Sometimes, what your mind tells you it is, isn’t the way it really is.

Columbus, along with many others who have accomplished many great and wonderful things, had to go against what was taught as traditional thinking. He had to let go of that one “huge” limiting belief, that the world was flat and that he would eventually come to the end of the earth. He had to go with his premonition that the world was more than just that. He had to believe that he could sail forever. Otherwise, why would he go? I’m sure people thought he was crazy, that he was going to his failure. I’m sure he was popular with few and thought of as a fool to many.

But you know what, he was a do-er. He visualized something greater than most. He saw the bigger picture and was thinking outside of the box. I have seen so many take the advice of the nay-sayers, the ones who never accomplish much in their lifetime due to their lack of vision. They jump on the bandwagon and follow the advice of the majority. I’ll tell you what, if I had followed the advice of the majority when I got started in this opportunity, I would still be working a JOB for a wage and stuck in a life of misery.

3% of the world actually live this concept of being the do-ers. They think outside the box, go with their own gut feeling, they discover a new world out there and live a life of prosperity and abundance. So the next time someone tells you that you will fail at your dreams, leave them thinking the world is flat, because that is where they will stay. The the truth of reality is, there is so much more than what is really right in front of your face!

You know, success comes very easily to some and is very difficult for others to even comprehend. What is the difference between these two types of people? Why do the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? Why, when one thing goes well it seems to happen over and over again? Or, vise-versa, if something goes wrong, why does it happen over and over again? I like this definition given by a dictionary of the word “allow”:permit to be attainable or cause to remain. What are you allowing when it comes to the results you seek?

I believe, that the only thing standing in the way of your success is you and you alone. What kinds of limiting beliefs are you holding on to that may hinder you and what you attract? Believe it or not, but success scares some people. Becoming an outrageous success just does not feel right to some people so they actually block it, without even knowing it. When they experience a little taste of success, they savor the moment and store it away for a rainy day. Maybe it’s because it is something that is unfamiliar to them. A different feeling that they haven’t really felt before. It’s not that they don’t like the feeling of success, they just fear that it will go away.

The feeling that I speak of is almost something that can’t be understood in writing but only by the heart. It is the feeling of the uttermost joy to know that you have done it. You have won and you want to share it with anyone and everyone. It is a feeling of fulfillment but yet a hunger for more. Confidence and boldness surround you as the thought of fear and worry no longer exist. You are on top of your game and unstoppable. You are in flow and that flow will continue. That, is the feeling that you must have within you constantly and learn to recreate at the drop of a hat. You must allow that feeling to stay with you and most importantly, allow it to continue to grow within you and swell.

By applying the principles of the law of attraction, we learn what we think about, happens if we give it enough focus and energy. Learn to train your mind. Allow success. Allow money. You are a money magnet and you deserve to live a life of abundance and prosperity because you have allowed it to happen for yourself. Success is not for everyone else, it is for you.

We have been in this business since March of 2005. We were like most of the world, living paycheck to paycheck. We were unsatisfied with our current results and stuck in a world that we had no clue how to change. We were doing the same things over and over but expecting different results. Through this business, and more specifically it’s products, we have learned that in order to get different results, we first had to change our way of thinking. Change starts within, first. It then filters outward. Through these products we have been able to change our thinking process and have experience outstanding results in our lives and in this business. We have also realized through this opportunity, that we own our day. Today is mine and what I choose to do with it is up to me and me alone. This business not only gives me the time and money to do so, but also the frame of mind to do it with.

Have you ever know someone in your life who was driven by fear in all of their decision making? When faced with an important decision the thought of what might go wrong is the main factor in whether or not they move forward? Most people are just like that. Instead of seeing the great amounts of success they could have or the happiness that would derive from succeeding or making a good, solid choice in the direction of their dreams, they choose to submit to fear. They allow this fear to keep them from their happiness. These people don’t even know it, but they are living life in fear. They fear consequence. Taking responsibility for their own actions is hard.

There is no degree of success that has ever been achieved without the possibility of failure. Failing is not the end of the world. It is an attempt at something great. The only difference between the ones who succeed and the ones who fail is what they do after they fail. They have two options, lay down and stay defeated. Or, try again until success! Abraham Lincoln failed at many attempts to be elected in different political offices throughout his career until he was finally elected President of the Unites States.

Someone who is passion driven will have an unmeasurable amount of success. Decision making and going forward without fear is something that comes easy when you are driven by your dreams. Failure will come more often to those who are driven by fear. That emotion is always lingering in the subconscious, waiting to take control. Don’t allow it. Look forward with confidence and make decisions based on what you want in your heart, not what logic tells you. Logic will not allow you to live your dreams.

Fear is just a frame of mind. Passion radiates from every member of the body and is far more powerful. Live a life of abundance that is fueled by your passion.

A little over a year ago my wife and I decided to jump out of a perfectly good airplane at 13,000 ft. But before we did so we had to fill out about 20 different forms basically stating this: “Even though it may be a perfect day, all equipment works properly, your tandem partner is not suicidal, the plane works fine, things are going great, you still may die! And you do this on your own free will.” It is just like saying, yes, I am willing to die today. So off we went until we reached the point of no return…..the part where you jump.

I can tell you, it was a blast! I loved every minute of it. But, a few minutes into the jump I was faced with a very important decision. That decision was whether or not to pull the cord. Now, did I pull it? I typing this right? The obvious answer to this question is to pull the cord unless your head is not right and you are thinking other-wise. Choosing not to make a decision, whether you choose to pull the cord or not, is still a decision. You are going SPLAT!

Now, at first you may think that indecision in life isn’t nearly as fatal, but in business as well as life, it is. I would say that almost 90% of people who fail, do so by indecision. If you are to create any amount of change in your life, it takes action. You must make a choice and come to a decision that will lead you forward. In business and in life there is only forward or backward. There is no such thing as standing still. Successful people make decisions quickly and change their minds slowly. That is where conviction, confidence and determination come in.

The greatest computer ever created lies within each of us. It is always on, connected to the the internet, and networked. The brain is the most complex, yet, least used computer that is in existence. We use only a fraction of it’s full potential. Imagine what we could accomplish if we accessed and used the whole brain. The world would be changed and would become a completely different place.

As children we used our brains very well. We were creative, passionate, we had many dreams and ambitions. We could be anywhere at anytime as long as we could think it up. There wasn’t a single doubt in our minds of what we could become. A dream was a reality. Whatever existed “Once upon a time” was an everyday thing.

Somewhere along the time line of growing up, our computers began to get viruses, adware and spyware. The viruses began to slowly distort and slow down. The spyware and adware effected our view on things and controlled what we were exposed to. Our computers became messed up and pretty much useless. They were operating on foreign programs instead of the ones that were installed in the beginning.

You know what? A good portion of the world is barely operating. Their computers are bogged down with so much junk that they are barely able to think for themselves. It is time to install an anti-virus program, remove all the crap, and reboot. The anti-virus is personal development. Personal Development is the cure for any limiting belief or operating malfunction. It is creating millionaires every day in this world and will continue to do so. In order to experience any significant change in life, it must begin from within.

I am involved in a business that is on it’s way to becoming a trade mark in the Personal Development Industry. In this business, as you improve yourself, your bank account also improves.
