Moving Forward

Last year, my husband and I set a huge goal for ourselves. It was one that gave us a shiver every time we thought or talked about it. That goal, was to assist 100 people to become millionaires within the next 5 years. We were passionate about this goal and with great focus and intent, moved forward toward making it a reality.

It was not the money that we were passionate about, not the "millionaires" themselves, but what it would bring to the people who were involved directly with us. When we moved to the coast in 2005, the power of the lifestyle was overwhelming to us. What we learned was: when you live the life you really want, you become more of the person you were meant to be. You become the person hidden deep inside who lives without stress, without fear and without LIMITS! You become a greater positive influence in your home, your community and even your world.

This is why we set this huge goal and why we were so passionate about accomplishing it. We wanted to empower 100 other people to find their true, empowered selves and do our small part to help the world to be a better place.

When my husband became ill and then subsequently died from his cancer, I was overwhelmed by the impact not only on my life but the lives of others, because he was a special man with empowering qualities which he readily shared with everyone he encountered.

Now, just 5 weeks later, I am beginning to create the video of my life. And that life definitely includes the goal we set in 2008. I am just as motivated and focused on our goal today as I was when we set the goal together.

But many of you will ask "How can you move forward toward such a goal, so soon after the loss of your husband?". The answer is very simple. First of all, Jerry gave me specific instructions to continue on and accomplish the dreams we were working toward together. The movie of my life has not changed. Only the ending has changed.

Secondly, I am empowered to accomplish this goal by celebrating his life, not by just mourning his death. Not moving forward, would be a slap in his face and I would never consider that option. He is looking down on me today "expecting" me to be the person he knew for 29 years. He is expecting me to accomplish even more than ever before, and I am absolutely determined to do exactly as he expects.

So, here I am, moving forward. Each day will be easier than the day before but each day will be a part of my movie. The movie of my life and I am creating the ending myself. I am being true to my dreams, my desires and most of all, I am being true to my promise.

I invite you to join me in this journey as I assist 100 people in becoming millionaires within the next 5 years. There has never been a better time than right now.

To your unstopable success...

5 Steps to Getting the Most out of Personal Development

Personal Development is a life changing journey, not a destination but a journey of creating your life to fit your design. It is a journey that is completely within your power to control.

Too often, people think they are working on themselves because they are broken and need to be repaired. This is in no way true. You are who you are and where you are because it is where you should be right now. It may not be where you choose to be, but where you are is directly related to your current and past thinking, who you are inside and the choices you have made. It in no way reflects on the future and where you can be 1 year, 5 years or 20 years from now, it is simply the past.

This is the challenge we face. Instead of giving energy and effort in fixing ourselves, we should focus on molding or creating ourselves to be exactly what we really want to be. We must have a solid vision of what we are creating and go about the process of creating it.

In order to do this, we must have a solid Personal Development regimen to guide us so we can get the most out of our development. The universe likes speed and once the alignment of your desires, your goals and your actions are in alignment, things can happen very quickly.

Here are a few steps you can take to get the most out of your development:

1) Have crystal clear goals - know exactly what you want. The more specific the better.

2) Write out your goals everyday - Spend time first thing every morning to set your goals into your subconscious mind. Write them out...

3) Visualize your goals. See yourself in possession of whatever it is you are working toward.

4) Read good books, books that will help you get what you want.

5) Practice diligence. As I tell people I coach in my business, "the only way you can fail is to quit".

If you want something badly enough, it is worth commiting to yourself the diligence necessary to have it.

Draw yourself a clear map of the journey you are on. Develop a daily plan of operation and stick to your plan.

If you do not have the level of commitment to accomplish your goal, then possibly you are working toward the wrong goal. Spend quiet time every day to meditate on your goals and make sure the goals you are working toward are what you truly want.

Millionaire Status in Much Less Than 30 Years!

I was absolutely shocked at this article in CNN Money, published a while back, explaining how to become a millionaire. The article talks about how to put yourself in a position to be a millionaire within 30 years! http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/moneymag/ontrack_millionaire/index.html

This is the mentality of our Corporate Leaders and Colleges today. Our young people are not being taught how to achieve success while they are still young. It is a fact the majority of Self Made Millionaires in North America, became Millionaires in less than 5 years.

The truth is, our society is misleading people into believing that financial success can only come to an elite few, or those who are willing to save forever, while the corporate gurus are making millions themselves. Maybe we should look at the fact that corporate leaders do not want you to succeed, they want you to remain an employee, therefore having an employee or need mentality. And as for professors, how many millionaire professors do you know? They do not teach success strategies or the economics of making money, and they certainly are not financial success stories themselves as a rule. I do believe that education is extremely important today, I do not however believe higher education is an absolute necessity to succeed financially. The best way to learn how to make money is to learn from those making money.

This is exactly why Network Marketing creates so many millionaires. Successful people are teaching others how to have the same level of success. It's all about learning to work smart, not necessarily hard. It is very important to live your life while you are making your million.

The old saying "you are the company you keep" is so true. To make a million dollars, start associating with people who have made a million dollars. Successful people are so, because they are willing to share and assist others in the same or greater level of success.

If you are shooting for a higher level of success, first of all, take a look at who you are spending your life with. Are they providing you the empowerment to get to where you wish to be? Be sure to bring powerful people and mentors into your closest circle of acquaintances.

Another important step is to fill your mind with empowering information. Read biographies and the works of powerful and successful people. Turn the TV off and be very focused on what you put into your mind.

These simple actions will get you closer to becoming a millionaire faster than any other action. Sure, you should save and invest, but never count on saving a million dollars, decide to make a million first.

To your success...
