In this 3rd and final part of the How To Stay Focused … theme, I want to share with you my most effective method for being energetic, focused, and on top of my game.

It’s really simple you know.

I’ll share it with you in a minute…

But before, I’d like to point out something that is obvious and yet often overlooked by so many people.

And that is that we’re constantly exposed to the influence of the society and the media.  Check out the headline from yesterday’s home page of CNN Money Site:

What kind of crap is that?

I understand that people are getting laid off, and companies are downsizing, but does that mean that if you’re in your 50’s and you get laid off, that your life is over?

You’re out of luck?

Some of the other headlines were:

- Oil soars to settle above $133

- Dollar sinks as Fed forecasts weakness

- Mortgage applications drop 7.8%

- Record gas prices: 14 straight days

- Reverse mortgages: Beware the come-ons

And my favorite one -

“Consumers can’t save the economy” - Americans are too deep in debt to lead the economy into a recovery, according to a new forecast. The result: The recovery will be a bit slower.

Now, just reading this list can make you depressed, don’t you agree?

Now you might be saying, ok I don’t really read stuff like this.

Well, someone does, because it’s 50th most visited site in the world.  That means that tens of thousands of people get on this site, and the first thing they see is these headlines.

Most people just run around having no sense of where they’re going and what they’re trying to accomplish, in the big scheme of things.

For a long time I thought that focus was something you needed to really work on and be extremely persistent with. At least that made sense to me.

Here’s what I believe about that today. Your focus will come from your subconscious mind, automatically, without you having to force yourself to do it, when you put the right programming into it.

If you subconscious mind doesn’t have a specific target it’s going after, it will still go after something, but it may not be what you consciously want.

So let’s say you want to make a $100,000 a year. You focus on it, you write down your goals, and for a while you become focused doing the things you need to do to accomplish that.

But then Read the rest of this entry »

One of the most revealing things I found out years ago is that how we feel about others in sales effects your ability to attract money and success.

Since everything is attracted to us at an energetic level, then our most dominant thoughts and attitudes act as activating forces to what we attract.

When you’re in a situation where someone is selling something to you, what’s your initial response?

Is it one of irritation – “… oh there goes another salesman …” or something like that?

A lot of people get irritated by sales people, telemarketers, and anyone who tries to sell anything.

For years I sold insurance and investments, and was recruiting people into that industry. And often I would here people say something like, “I never want to be in sales” or “I don’t want to be pushy and try to sell something to people”, or “I don’t want to work on commission because then I’m not acting in the best interest of the people”, and so on …

What these people don’t realize is that, sales is great. If it wasn’t for sales, no one would have a job, because companies wouldn’t make any money.

Also, if someone is selling something, and promoting their products or their business, even if you’re not interested, why is that bad?

When you have an attitude that you don’t like sales people, you take on the attitude and mindset that you don’t like companies marketing and promoting themselves, and what kind of a message are you sending to the Universe?

Is it one of lack or abundance?

There’s a great saying in one of my favorite books, “The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” – ‘… the way you do anything, is the way you do everything …’

The way you feel about others in sales, is the way you feel about sales and business, and that transfers over to YOUR business and what you attract.

Every time you’re in a sales situation you need to get excited about the fact that there’s an exchange of money going on, this is what the free enterprise system is all about.

Let me give you an example from my life.

As you may have already read in my posts, I just Read the rest of this entry »

Recently I got a great email from one of the newsletters I subscribe to.  The person was describing how much he hates going to Walmart.

Now before you get all bent out of shape, try to understand his logic.  The reason he despises going to Walmart, is because most of the people who shop at Walmart are usually scraping pennies.  They’re cutting coupons, trying to save as much as possible.  The whole idea of that store is about saving money.  And he wants nothing to do with that type of mentality, nor surround himself with those type of people.

It was a pretty long email, but here are my thoughts on it.  First of all, I personally don’t despise Walmart, however I completely agree with his thinking in terms of trying not to put yourself where you’re surrounded by others who are consistently in the poverty mindset.

For me it’s Big Lots.  My wife loves going to Big Lots, because sometimes she finds a good deal on something good there, but me, I never walk into that store, because it depresses me.  The people that shop there, and the attitudes that I see.  And I don’t want to feel depressed.  To me that’s more important than saving a couple of bucks.

Now there’s nothing wrong with those people, but when you’re constantly putting yourself in a situation where you’re surrounded by others who have lack and limitation as their dominating attitudes about money, how do you think it effects you?

If you think it doesn’t, think again.  The saying ‘birds of a feather flock together’ is very true.  Thoughts are energy.  And when you’re around people who have those thoughts, and are sending those types of low frequency vibrations, you are picking that up and it is effecting how you think and feel.

This post isn’t about Walmart or Big Lots, and not about judging what kind of people shop there.  This is about becoming aware of your environment and guarding your thoughts.

You ever notice when you walk into some stores, you feel good and empowered, and then you walk into others, and you feel a little out of place.  That feeling tells you that there’s a mismatch with the vibrations that are around you.  And if you constantly put yourself in situations where the vibrations around you are not what you’re after, then why put yourself in that situation?

There’s nothing wrong with coupons and discounts.  However, what kind of vibration are you sending out when cutting coupons and pinching pennies.

The last thing I want to do is tell anyone how to live and what choices they should make.

BUT, when you set big goals and objectives for yourself, and you’re after creating abundance in your life, then be careful what you allow to go into your mind and who you let effect your energy level.

It’s been a hectic week.  We closed on a new house, and there’s a bit of remodeling that needs to be done, so I’m running around negotiating with contractors and so forth.

But here’s what I’d like to share.

If you’ve been following my blog and have listened to my course on “Attract More Business In 7 Days”, then you know I’m big on the power of your imagination and putting that to work for you.

I firmly believe that whatever you program into your subconscious mind is exactly what you’ll receive, and the speed at which you attract it, will be based on how much resistance (mental blocks) you’re putting up.

The house that we just purchased, I’ll use attracted, has been on my wife’s and my mind for quiet some time.

When we decided that it’s time that we want to move, I immediately Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s an important question to ask yourself. Are feeding your dreams or your nightmares?

What influences your mind the most? Is it what you want or what you don’t want. Are you letting fears or desires dictate your state of mind.

One of the 13 principles of success that Napoleon Hill wrote about in his classic “Think and Grow Rich” is the principle of Autosuggestion. Which is all suggestions that reach your subconscious mind by what you allow to remain in your conscious mind.

We get exposed to lots of stimuli in our day to day activities. The media, the society, the books and magazines we read, and our interpretation of this huge stream of information and what we think and how feel it will affect us, is what gets programmed into our minds.

Whatever we allow to dominate our mind is what gets imprinted into our consciousness.

Here’s what’s important to realize. Is that we have complete control over what we allow to go into our mind.

Some people will argue that they’re not in control, but I disagree. If you tune into a station on the radio or a channel on TV that you don’t like, why keep watching or listening to it, just change the channel or tune into a different frequency on the radio.

If you go see a movie you don’t like, are you going to buy it on dvd to watch it again?

That’s kind of obvious, isn’t it? But that’s exactly what most people do when it comes to thoughts and ideas.

Changing the course of your thoughts is as simple as changing the channel on your TV.

It simply takes a decision. It’s a lot easier when you know specifically what it is that you want, and you can feed those dreams, and starve your nightmares.

Every now and then, I stop by a forum and eavesdrop on what people talk about. As it relates to the Law of Attraction, it seems that there’s a group of people that firmly believes in this amazing power, and also there’s a group that questions it, and doesn’t really believe that it’s that simple.

One comment I saw from someone who saw “The Secret” and stated that “…where’s the proof? … it can’t work just like that…”

My first reaction was that it’s just another cynic. However, after I thought about it for a while, it made me realize that there are a lot of people like this guy. They don’t believe in anything or anybody. They’re always looking for the catch.

When I was recruiting people in my former business, and I would do a meeting, talking about the opportunity, there would always be someone in the room who would be a total skeptic and question everything.

I remember 2 specific times. One lady Read the rest of this entry »

I heard a great quote on the radio today, by an unknown author.

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift.  That’s why it’s called present.”

That’s a great way to look at it.  As far as our past is concerned, it’s gone.  We can’t change it, only learn from it.

Jim Rohn says “Don’t use the past as a hammer, but use it as a book.”  That’s a good outlook on the past.  We can’t change it, so why waste our mental energy on it.  All that does is recreates in the present, by us focusing on it.

Tomorrow is truly a mystery.  We don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.  Goal setting, and dreaming about the future is very important, but we only live in the NOW, not in the future.

Even when we think and ponder about the future, we’re doing it NOW.  So it’s the present, the now, where we have power.  We only have power of what we’re doing right now.

Your subconscious mind Read the rest of this entry »

When you set your mind on a specific target, the Universe truly does conspire to help you.  I’ve had this happen so many times in every area of my life.

When I start thinking about the things I would like to attract (and I’m using the word ATTRACT deliberately), it’s as if people and situations start appearing in front of you to pave the way to your objective.

A lot of the things are happening in my business right now and have been for some time, because of some unthinkable circumstances.  Like, I would meet someone (out of the blue) and this person would introduce me to someone that I was looking to meet.

Or I would get a phone call (again out of the blue) and the person was looking specifically for my product, but what’s more interesting is that they would open doors for me in something that I was looking for.

Currently my wife and I are looking for a new house.  I have a specific picture in mind and an area that I’m looking at.  And I don’t like wasting too much time driving around with an agent, I like to find homes I’m looking for on the internet and then contact someone to show us the house.

I’d like to share with you another powerful business attraction concept.

When I first started in the financial services business 13 years ago, being at very young age for that kind of a business, I was happy that anyone would see me.

I wasn’t focusing on trying to get some big accounts. If someone simply opened an account with me, and invested $25 a month, I was excited.

Of course as time went on, I moved on to bigger accounts. But the habit of providing good service regardless whether the person had invested a lot of money or little stayed with me.

Over the years, a lot of the people who originally started with small amounts with me, invested a very significant amounts of money.

As a matter of fact in all of my career, some of the best and biggest customers came from these small initial accounts.

Very recently Read the rest of this entry »
