To attract and retain money in your life, it’s vital to think and speak words of abundance and prosperity. Hence the words “the secret to money is to have some” but you can also have money in your mind in order to attract and retain more in the physical world. Imagine and really feel what it will be like to drive your dream car, live in the dream house and enjoy earning the level of passive income you desire. Conversely by speaking and thinking words of lack or limitation, it will be impossible to attract and retain more money in your life. The vibration of your thoughts and words literally attracts more of what you are thinking and talking about. This is one of the reasons why it’s most important to be around successful and positive-minded people on the journey to financial freedom. Hanging around with and joining in the conversations of people who spend time complaining and using the language of lack and limitation can only attract more of the same into your life.

Be very specific about the amount of money that you desire by when and what you intend to deliver in return for that specific amount of money. This is the most important message delivered by Napoleon Hill in his classic book with the intriguing title “Think And Grow Rich”. Hill interviewed literally hundreds of the world’s most successful people in the 1930s in order to summarize the key thought and language patterns that successful people use to achieve financial freedom and become truly wealthy.

Being specific about what financial freedom means for you as a coach, therapist or trainer involves sitting down and adding up the monthly passive income required to fund your desired lifestyle. Start by working out how much you need in order to fund the current lifestyle entirely from passive income. It’s probably much less than you think, especially if there are some areas of life can be simplified. Once you’ve achieved financial freedom, and then focus on building wealth and greater abundance, freed from any thoughts, words and feelings of lack and limitation.

Using positive thought and language patterns in relation to money is certainly one of the easiest and most powerful ways to achieve financial freedom.

Ever wonder what’s wrong with the touchy-feely advice that’s so popular now-a-days telling people to stay positive, say affirmations, and just think good thoughts?

Ever wonder why people aren’t seeing much success by doing these things?

Answer: Because they are using positive affirmations incorrectly and using them incorrectly is a detriment.

Three Guidelines for using Positive Affirmations Correctly

1. Stop looking for the one thing that will make the difference. There is no one thing.

Positive affirmations are like the chocolate chips in a delicious chocolate chip cookie. If I asked you what made your chocolate chips cookies taste so good and you said, “Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips are the key,” I would say, “ah-ha” and run right out and purchase those specific chips thinking they would be what I needed to make a delicious chocolate chip cookie.

This is one of the things people do wrong when it comes to saying and using affirmations. They are looking for the one thing that will make the difference to their business success. And by doing so, they focus on the one to the exclusion of the all.

2. Don’t be so far out with your affirmations.

The mind does not value what it hasn’t invested in. Said another way, the mind does not invest in what it does not know. One of the common mistakes of saying positive affirmations is intending them too far into the future, too far ahead of your current business situation. Repeating, “I own a million-dollar business” isn’t likely to create that business for you when you are barely making ends meet. The difference between what the mind currently sees and the intended affirmation is just too far apart.

Instead, focus your intentions no farther than your mind registers as possible to achieve. Next, align your actions with the fulfillment of your vision and add positive affirmations in support of that direction. Then, your mind will register that as something that is attainable and invest in it.

3. Be on the look out for hidden hope.

Hope is just a nice way of saying that you’re not sure something is going to happen, but you sure wish is would. Affirmations that hold the energy of wish are really negative affirmations in disguise. Hope is not the same as knowing, without a doubt, that what you intend is going to happen. Fervently repeating affirmations that hold the energy of hidden hope will not help bring what you intend any closer, any sooner.

There isn’t much room for hope when planning a business formula for success. Running a business takes a lot of thoughtful, consideration. It involves some very clear, concise, left-brain thinking. It also requires the ability to envision the kind of success you want for your business. That’s where positive affirmations can come in. Done correctly and with care, positive affirmations can be a valuable ingredient for your business success. You’ll soon be on you way to using affirmations correctly and turning them from a business liability into a business asset, by following these guidelines.

Whether you start a traditional business, a home based business or an internet business, Robert Kiyosaki  (Rich Dad, Poor Dad and The Business School) talks about three different types of education that are required for the successful business entrepreneur. If you want to achieve this financial freedom to live your own life, you need scholastic education, professional education and financial education.

Let’s unpack those three first.

Scholastic education basically is what you get at school. In the main part, it’s about basic literacy. You are taught how to read, write and do maths, very important for survival in today’s information age. Throughout our childhood we are taught the importance of getting a good education.  As adults, we are encouraged to become lifelong learners and invest in our personal development. It is pretty much indoctrinated in us that getting good grades at school, even going to university, is the best way to get a high paying job.

Professional education is what teaches you how to work for money. This type of education you can get from apprenticeship and training as well as through to your work experience. This type of education can range from apprenticeships in a trade or service to higher level training to become a doctor, lawyer, accountant, pilot, and so forth.

]]>

Financial education is rarely taught at school or at home or anywhere else for that matter! This is where you learn how to make money work for you (as distinct to you working for money as above). Most people don’t even realise that scholastic and professional education will only get you so far.

Without financial or wealth education, you may not appreciate the ‘different path’ available to you and will end up always working for the rich, not becoming rich. This is how Robert Kiyosaki’s distinguishes the two with his Rich Dad, Poor Dad concept.

However, these days if you are doing business mostly on the internet, there is, in my opinion, a really crucial fourth type of education and that is social education.  So I’ll add this one into the mix.

Social education is important in any business where you are making sales and dealing with customers. But online, it’s even more important since you cannot ‘meet’ in person and much of our social behaviour relies on body language and visual and auditory cues.

Social education is about developing “emotional intelligence” towards others. It is learning to communicate effectively with people with regard to their situation, needs and feelings. It’s about active listening and empathy. It’s about connecting with a person’s highest hopes and worst fears.

Some would say that you develop the ‘sales’ skills to manipulate people. I advocate you develop social skills to match what you can offer to what people are looking for! (In that scenario, there is no need for a hard sell.)

On the internet, social education is critical to every part of your marketing, sales and support. This is because buying decisions depend so much more heavily on people’s sense of trust. Being seen as an authority and a leader builds your online credibility.

This is evident in the growing trend towards social networking and personal branding – what is termed “attraction marketing”, which is nowadays the business model of all successful internet marketers. People need to know you, like you and trust you before they will do business with you, become a customer or partner with you.

Social education is therefore one of the cornerstones of effective marketing. It teaches you aspects the psychology behind different personality types, how people make decisions, how to attract others to you, how to reach win-win outcomes, and so on.

If you spend time learning how to translate that knowledge and understanding into your personal branding, your copy writing, your presentations and your conversations, it will skyrocket your business success.

Positive daily affirmation – Guide

Using a positive daily affirmation is a great Idea. Affirmations can truly help you change your life and train your mind into positive thinking modes.

After using a good positive daily affirmation for over 30 days, you will start feeling changes regarding the subject you chose.

If you are working on attaining more money, you will start observing many changes in that arena. It really doesn’t matter what subject you choose, a well written positive daily affirmation can work wonders.

I have been using affirmations for many years and have managed to create many positive avenues in my life, thanks to this wonderful method.

There is no perfect way of using a daily positive affirmation. Some use computer visual and audio software and others use workbooks or more conscious methods. I relate more to the later.

I enjoy practicing and using my mind consciously, I believe it is the true way of using any personal development tool, Shortcuts are really not my way.

]]>

Here are some tips you can use to enhance your positive daily affirmation routine:

Meditation

Before every session, I meditate for about 10 minutes. Meditation is a practice of quieting the mind. After some practice, you develop the ability to enter a relaxed non resistant state. It works great when you are studying new materials or even when you just want to learn to relax.

If you meditate 10 minutes before every session, I guarantee you will see much faster and better results

Practice daily and at the same hour

This is one of the most important points when working with a positive daily affirmation. You must do it every day for a minimum time of 30 days. Also, it highly helps to practice at the same hour. This is the habit creating business, practice is a must!

 Record your progress

Training your mind to see positive change occurring around you, will help you learn to focus you mind more positively. The more positive things you observe the more positive things happen. It’s like rolling a snowball down a hill. It will get bigger and bigger

 Be thankful

Adopting a thankful attitude is a great way to increase the work you are doing. Appreciate what you have in the present moment and you will be showered by more.

It is amazing how many people are not thankful for what they have, always looking for something outside of them to make them fulfilled

 I would like to conclude by saying that one good positive daily affirmation can change your life from a negative one to an abundant easy flowing one. It takes time and patience but is well worth it.

1) The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason

This book you can read in as little as a week without ever taking it out of your bathroom. I know, because that’s how I just re-read it! But don’t let this book’s brevity fool you into thinking there is anything small about the powerful wealth-building messages it contains. This is timeless, priceless wisdom you’re going to read. Mostly written in an entertaining, storytelling style through the voice of the Richest Man in Babylon and those he teaches, this book will take you under the wing of an ultra-successful entrepreneur who will teach you in simple bite-size nuggets the fundamental secrets wealthy people have passed along in oral traditions for thousands upon thousands of years.

I never had a wealthy family growing up. In fact, we were downright poor. It is in part because I have been fortunate enough to find books like this (and driven enough to apply what I learn) that I feel confident my family will now be wealthy for many generations to come. If you too lack successful references in your family, do as I did and imagine you are part of the family of the Richest Man in Babylon— and take those references into your mind and make them your own. You can.

2) Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

This book is one of the best if not THE best empowerment books to have ever been written, and probably the most recommended success book of recent history. If you haven’t read it, don’t take my word for it that you should, my friend,  go and get it and read it immediately. Do NOT get this book at the public library. More than almost any other book, you deserve to OWN this book for your own personal success books library. Go ask the five most successful people you know if they have read it…and I will eat a raw onion if at least 3 of them have not read it. And if you read this book long ago, I urge you to read it again immediately.

Read this book while holding in your mind each minute you’re reading it a specific problem, obstacle or challenge you are facing in your personal, financial, or business life and you have my solemn guarantee that by the time you finish the book you will have at least 3 concrete potential solutions you can apply right now to solve that problem. I have done so over a half dozen times already, and expect to read this book at least once a year every year I am still breathing. It’s THAT powerful.

I hope that after having read this article about how to develop the mind of a millionaire, you are inspired to add these books you YOUR success library, and if you don’t have a success library…get started starting one and get started reading for success as an entrepreneur.
It’s never too late to start reading for success, and it’s never too late to BE a success.

What is The law of attraction ?

The law of attraction is a universal law ,which turns our thoughts to positive ones. This law attracts our thoughts and makes them come true. In this research, we’d like to discuss the meaning of that law, and how we can use it in our lives.

There are two ways you can approach life.  You can approach life as if you are at the effect of things or like you are the cause of things.  Both are true.  The way you focus  creates your reality.  It’s clear that you are being the cause of your life because you are reading this article about self improvement.

The only question is, “Are aware of what you are causing?”

In order to manifest a new lover, the perfect job, that next big opportunity or millions of dollars…you have to get present to your ability to magnetize what you want.  You have to see it, realize it, know it and trust it.  That’s why I host classes to create a structure for seeing your power in action.  That way you can trust it.  Because of the exposure people receive in my classes,  they are never the same again.

The Law of Attraction is operating in the background of your life at all times.  It is similar to gravity, which is so much a part of your life that you are almost never present to it.  Yet, whether you are present to gravity or not does not stop it from affecting your existence.

By getting present to the effect of gravity, we are able to use it to our advantage.  Airplanes, rockets, kites and cars all use gravity as a part of their operation.  In order to learn to fly, airplane designers had to get present to the invisible forces that pull objects back to the ground.  Rocket designers realized they needed to go 17k miles per hour to pull away from the Earth’s gravitational field. If you only go 16k miles per hour, you won’t make it.

Similarly, in order to manifest your desires and outcomes, you must get present to those unseen forces that orchestrate the activities of the universe in the background of your life.  The Law of Attraction: You attract into your life what ever you give your energy, focus and attention to, whether you want it or not.

]]>

Like gravity, the Law of Attraction has no opinion or discernment.  In other words the Law of Attraction does not care what you attract.

You are free to create whatever you want.  The problem is that most people have been conditioned to believe they have no control over their lives and therefore keep attracting what they don’t want by focusing on it.  The Law of Attraction is always affecting you, whether you believe in it or not.  If you said to yourself “That’s it!  I give up on gravity!”  would you float away?  No.  Gravity is there whether you believe in gravity or not.

Even more important is the fact that we have named the unseen force gravity.  Is it really “gravity”?  No.  That’s just what we named something we observed.  It’s not true or false or right or wrong, it’s just something that occurs predictably.  By naming it, we make it useful to us.  So it is with the Law of Attraction.  By naming it, we make it useful.

As a child, you didn’t think about gravity.  Gravity taught its properties to you through demonstration, right?  Learning to walk was learning about gravity.  Gravity is invisible, and yet it’s obvious and measurable.  Gravity was revealed to us by an apple dropping.

The Law of Attraction is far subtler yet no less real.  Our senses can easily identify the effects of gravity because it’s instant.  Yet, the effects of the Law of Attraction are much harder to spot.  Not because the principle doesn’t hold true, but because of the duration of time it takes for it affect us.

Some of your desires manifest instantly, others take a life time.  It depends on how attached you are to the results.  The more attached you are, the longer it takes. The less attached you are, the shorter amount of time it takes.  Just like it was hard for us to see that the world was round when it appeared flat, the Law of Attraction is hard to see because it usually happens over long periods of time and is very subtle… But eventually you are living exactly what you had thought about, in one way or another.

I’ve been experimenting with this concept since 1989.  Through my tracking I have seen that approximately 70% of my dreams have materialized in one way or the other.  Like the Law of Gravity, the Law of Attraction becomes a powerful tool when you align yourself with its effects.  Fight against gravity and you’ll die.  Fight against the Law of Attraction and you’ll suffer.  Work with gravity and you can soar…Work with attraction and you can live a totally fulfilling and satisfying life.

Thinking is manifesting.  Thinking is setting forth intentions and delegations.  You get what you think about whether you want it or not.  The Law of Attraction is absolute.  Your life is the sum total of what you have been thinking about.

How many people decide to live a better life? Well most people in the world barely survive so there is your answer. How many people decide to do what they love in life? Very few enjoy that luxury. Most people hate their job. You can see now where I am going with this.

Napoleon Hill in his book “Think And Grow Rich” wrote an entire chapter on decision. I strongly recommend for you to read this book. Don’t get me wrong. I am not trying to pitch this book to you, I just think it would help you understand this topic more.

Do an exercise. What are you trying to decide and it’s holding you back. What inner paradigm forces you not to take that decision. There are people who want to take a trip, but they never make a decision to do it. Instead the make excuses why they can’t go.

Decision is a battle against an inner paradigm. Spend a couple of minutes and think of things that you really want to do, that you have been holding yourself back. Things you really want to do, but you are not making a decision. Keep thinking what you really want to do.

]]>

When you are spending time thinking about your decision making, ask yourself two questions:

Why I am holding myself back?
What am I holding myself back from?

Yes, only you can hold yourself back. Stop blaming everybody else, stop making excuses and take action. It is time to make some quick decisions. The sooner you will accept that sooner you will understand that you are responsible to yourself. This is a key to freedom.

Understand, that I am not trying to judge you, but improving your life can be achieved only by decision. Big and better things in life happen by decision. I don’t believe that something happens by accident and I don’t believe in overnight success.

If you study the most successful people in the world, you would see that they make decisions fast and the rarely change their mind.

This is a skill that you really want to fall in love with. Henry Ford was a great decision maker and look what he accomplished. Remember, never quit if something goes wrong on the way towards your goal. When You make a decision to do something, stick with it. It doesn’t matter how absurd or illogical may sound. If it doesn’t work, change the plan, don’t change the decision. Ignore what other people think.

The point is that people who make fast decisions go straight to the top, and the people who don’t make them seems to go nowhere. Be one of those people who makes decisions.

Find out what you want in life. Write down your goals dreams. Make a decision to change your life with simple mindset techniques and mind power exercises.

Being able to use the law of attraction to manifest your desires is not something that you will EVER be taught in schools. However, this could be the most beneficial thing that you can learn. Most people will end up attracting more of what they do not want in life. When you know how to use the law of attraction to manifest your desires, you will be able to finally start attracting the things that you DO want in life.

Here are 3 Law of Attraction Tips that will help you Manifest YOUR Desires:

1. This is not something that will happen overnight. A lot of people want to believe that they will somehow be able to learn a method of using the law of attraction to make changes happen instantly. This hardly ever occurs. You are not going to read this article and wake up tomorrow with a brand new car in the driveway. It takes time and work to properly use the law of attraction.

]]>

2. You have to think positive, but positive thinking alone will NOT attract your desires. There are some people that try to convey the message that the law of attraction is all about positive thinking. While it is beneficial to you to think positive, this is not going to attract the things that you want, by itself. You have to USE the law of attraction and apply it to YOUR life.

3. Money is not the only thing that you can attract. While the image of people just “attracting” money may sell more books and Cd’s, there are many more things that will make your life better that you can attract with the law of attraction. Things like romance, friendships, and even better opportunities are all possible with the law of attraction.

If you are familiar with Napoleon Hill’s classic, “Think and Grow Rich”, in the chapter entitled ‘Organized Planning’, he discusses thirty one major reasons for failing.

Hill’s checklist is a quite useful one to study. You can easily discover if any of the thirty one reasons discussed applies to you. If you really want to be successful not only in business, but in other areas of your life, try to figure out what is standing between you and achieving your dreams. Here are the top reasons for failing not only in MLM but life:

Reason #1: Lack of a well-defined purpose in life. If you have no definite goals, not only for your network marketing business, but life in general, you will not be successful. Hill reports that 98 out of every 100 people he talked to had no well-defined purpose. Don’t be one of the 98 who are wandering aimlessly in life. Spend some quiet time brainstorming what you want out of life and your business, write down your goals and aspirations, and then read them out loud every day to keep them fresh in your mind.

Reason #2: Lack of ambition to aim above mediocrity. If you are the type of person who is totally indifferent to your lot in life, have no desire to get ahead, and are not willing to work for it, you will not succeed at anything.

]]>

Reason #3: Lack of self-discipline. A lack of self-control can wreak havoc in your life. You must learn to control all negative qualities, including the ones that are in you. This, of course, isn’t always easy to do. If you don’t have self-control and discipline, your self will conquer you!

Reason #4: Procrastination. This is one of the most common causes of failure. Every human being on the planet faces this demon which can spoil your chance of success. Many of us float through life waiting for just the right opportunity to come. You must learn to take action. Why? This is important because many times things won’t be “just right”. The key is take action with whatever tools and resources you have. If you do this, you will be amazed at what a difference this can make in your home business and life.

Reason #5: Lack of persistence. Many people become professional quitters. Most of us are very good at starting, but the “quitter” category usually claims the majority. Plus, many people give up at their first defeat. You must learn to be persistent no matter what obstacles you are facing. If you are persistent, you will find that “failure” will not able to keep up!

Reason #6: Negative personality. To put it bluntly, if people avoid you because you are the king or queen of negativity, there is no hope for success. Success comes by applying power and this is obtained through cooperation of others. Negativity does not glue people together, but tears them apart.

Reason #7: Desire for “something for nothing.” Any type of “get rich quick” attitude, an unwillingness to actually work at your network marketing business, or wanting others to do tall the work for you will doom you to failure.

Reason #8: Lack of concentration of efforts. If you are one who jumps from opportunity to opportunity because things seem to be going too slow, or to generate as many streams of income as possible,things will not be good for you. If you constantly chase the next this will “get you rich quick” opportunity, you are in grave trouble. Everyone will view you as a highly unfocused person who clearly has no idea what you want. Learn to concentrate all your efforts on one definitive aim.

Reason #9: Lack of enthusiasm. People will view you as someone who is not convincing if you seem ho-hum about your opportunity. If you are not excited about what you are doing, why should others be? Remember, enthusiasm is contagious and people will want to be around you if you have this spirit.

Reason #10: Egotism and vanity. If you are one who likes to control, don’t want to listen to what others have to say, have an attitude of “my way or the highway”, etc., people will see this as a red light and will keep away. These attitudes are fatal to success in your network marketing business, as well as other areas in life.

So, there you have it. The top ten reason that could be influencing why you are having difficulty finding success not only in your MLM home business, but in other areas of life. Work on eliminating these fatal attitudes from your life and you will be well on your road to achieving your hopes and dreams.
