"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it. I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning."
Mahatma Gandhi 1869-1948
Indian Nationalist Leader

Your Mental Attitude Is The Most Dependable Key To Your Personality...

Your view of yourself will greatly influence how others perceive you. If you are a confident, cheerful, positive person, your co-workers, friends, and family will be attracted to your personality. If you are unhappy, negative, and always complaining about your situation, others will be repelled. Even when at times you don’t feel very happy, by forcing yourself to behave in a positive fashion, you will find that you soon feel genuinely upbeat, because your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between an artificial emotion and the real thing. When you behave positively, you will positively influence everyone around you-including yourself.
You are in control - change your thoughts and change your life!
Cheers to you!

Choose To Be Healthy, Wealthy and Wise!

No doubt about it, people are concerned about the uncertain economic times we find ourselves in. More specifically, their own job security, continued business success, and the value of their investment and retirement portfolios. Indeed, these are uncertain times, and for many people, there is a great deal of anxiety over this economic turmoil. However, with all the doom and gloom about the economy, there IS a solution!
There are many ways in which you can THRIVE in the midst of all this uncertainty. Here are several simple ideas I would like to suggest you consider that will help you make the most of where you are at and where you want to go....

Take a media fast. This may sound a little over-simplified, but the truth is the media amplifies the inherent fear people have in this situation. Most of what goes on in the media is hype and overstatement. The media business is based on creating an overstated, sensationalized point of view. I am not suggesting that the media does not accurately report the facts. I am simply suggesting that the media amplifies the insecurity of the situation, and in many ways, is a distorted and biased lens that does not support a more balanced and neutral assessment of our current circumstances. It is far better for you to trust your own inner wisdom about your financial circumstances and not let any outside influences breed more uncertainty in your life. Do yourself a favor and go on a media fast.

Think about others, not yourself. Uncertainty and fear drives people into an isolated point of view. A more useful approach is to focus on the areas of your life where you can be of value to others. Find ways to help instill confidence and light into people's lives. This shifts your energy into a more useful vibration and puts you in a place of wisdom and service. "The more people to you help get what they want, you will in return, receive everything you have ever wanted", Jim Rohn.

Focus on current opportunities. Focus on the now - it is the only time we can ever control. Your power to create a result resides here and now. know where you want to go in the future, but do make the most and be grateful for where you are right now. There is always opportunity in every circumstance.

Focus on creating more rewarding relationships. In uncertain times, it is natural to worry about the commodity of our jobs, products, and businesses... However, it is more useful to strengthen your relationships with people- your employer, your customer, your family, your community. By putting energy into the practice of strengthening all your relationships, you will add greater value to the people around you. In turn, the value of what you have to offer the world is increased.

Focus on what is available to you now, not what's missing. Uncertainty has a way of putting your focus on lack and limitation. When things adversely change around us, we tend to fixate on what is no longer available to us. A more useful strategy is to put your focus on what resources are available now. What skills, talents and inspired ideas can you use right now. Resourcefulness is a great discipline in times of uncertainty, and the results prove more powerful when things turn positive again. You have, whether you know it or not, all the resources within you to prosper no matter the outer circumstances.

You can't control the economy, or others... so don't waste your precious energy trying. Regardless of what is happening in the world, you can't control people, places or things. You can, however, control your responses to the events in your own life. Everything is a choice. Choosing to respond in a manner that serves you is a useful skill. There's nothing like adversity to sharpen this life skill.

Always be in gratitude. This is the most important strategy you can employ in tough, uncertain times. No matter how bad it is, there is ALWAYS something in your life for which you can be grateful... start with the fact that you are still alive and able to play the game of life! A feeling of lack and limitation cannot exist within a mind that is focused on being grateful. Gratitude is an amazing tool for your best thinking to emerge and your results to transform your life.

Yours In Gratitude!

"Whatever course you have chosen for yourself, it will not be a chore but an adventure if you bring to it a sense of the glory of striving, if your sights are set far above the merely secure and mediocre."
David Sarnoff 1891-1971

Woman Entrepreneurs... Setting The Pace!

Women today, have a much more entrepreneurial, gutsy spirit, than they did 40-50 years ago. I have been a successful entrepreneur since 2005, and I have seen for myself the number of women that take bold step into the world of entrepreneurship, often driven by the desire to spend more time with their families, and these women are setting the pace for what is possible, for women and men alike.

When I began having children, that is precisely what led me to this wonderful world of being an entrepreneur! I wanted to be home with our children, but needed to make some extra income to do so. So, like many young mum's, I looked for a way to do that and entered the wonderful world of being an entrepreneur. Looking back over my 5+ years I wouldn't have it any other way!

There are so many benefits to being an entrepreneur, especially when you work from a home office.

-set your own schedule

-work around your family commitments

-volunteer at your children's schools and extra events

-take the time off during your children's school holidays and really be present with them

-be home with your children if they have a sick day

-no day care fees

-life balance

-less stress

-literally choose your own 6 figure income

-time to travel

-total freedom ~ time & financial

In today's world, there are so many opportunities to be able to create a business from home and with the support of technology today, you can literally do business all around the globe, while being at home with the people you love most.

As I write this blog article, I am amazed still at how incredible it is to be able to sit here in front of my laptop, coffee in hand, children all happily asleep (after another day I was fortunate enough to spend with them), listening to some beautiful background music. There is no need to run around, jumping to every order that the corporate world dishes out, just to make a living. I have learned that we work to make our family life better so that we can do the things we want to do, with the people we love most. Many people in society have this backwards - many people are working so long and so hard, that they have lost touch with their family - they are working to survive. Many people have literally lost touch with why they are even working - they are in survival mode. Put your family first - find a way to make your family life better and a business that supports that - there are SO many options available today!

I encourage every women reading this post that has the desire within them to take that next step - Do not let fear, past conditioning or limiting beliefs hold you back. Do not be swayed by family or friends that might give you "their best advice" to stay in your "secure" job. Follow your heart, that is your guiding light! When you are following your own guiding light, you can never go wrong. Becoming an entrepreneur has been, and continues to be, one of the most rewarding things I have ever done - I am grateful to my children - for if it wasn't for them coming into our lives, and being inspired to be home with them, I may not have discovered that there are other options than working a job your entire life.

Contact me today, I would love to discuss your goals and how you can achieve them!

Top Ten Ways to Increase Your Influence

1. Maintain impeccable character - make your character one that others know and trust.

2. Develop your skills to excellence. In everything you do, make sure you are a person of excellence.

3. Help others in all that you do. Make sure that you are a win-win person who does things so that everybody can enjoy the fruits of the victory.

4. Be successful at what you do. Success is the ultimate influencer. If you are successful, others will want to learn how - and they'll listen to you!

5. Speak well. Speaking is a powerful tool of influence. Speak well and you will attract others to you - and to follow you.

6. Go the extra mile. Don't quit at average. Go further than anyone else. Make people know you will give them more than they asked for.

7. Be known as the "go to" person. Let it be your name that people think of when they need something done. Develop the reputation that you can and will get the job done. This will attract people to you like flies to honey.

8. Be generous. Give to others. Help others. Let others succeed, make money, and gain recognition.

9. Know more than others but don't be a know-it-all. People will come to you if they know you will have the answer. They won't if you arrogantly remind them that you have all the answers!

10. Deliver the goods and get the job done. No excuses, get the job done. That's what counts. That's the language people speak. Period.

Living an INSPIRED Life!

PERSISTANCE Takes Jessica Watson Around The World in 210 Days!
What inspires someone at 11 years of age to set a 'Goal' to circumnavigate the world non-stop in a small yacht, solo and unassisted?

What I find even more impressive than the attainment of the goal, which for her can be only described as an 'extraordinary project' is the fact that for 5 years of her life since the inception of that first 'thought' she held steadfast on her dream, her project, her calling and was then able to attract the people, the places, the circumstances, the skills, the finances and above all else the emotional intelligence and tenacity at such a young age to manifest it's reality.

This is an extraordinary feat from an exceptional young woman. It also demonstrates that we are powerful beyond measure. Jessica Watson has sailed into our hearts and into our minds and at the same time proved a nation of sceptics wrong.
Why is it when someone wants to live their dream, there is always someone standing by to plant the seed of 'fear and doubt'? This is what Layne Beachley (multiple female world surfing champion) had to say; "Extraordinary. Most of the population will spend most of their lives not going outside their comfort zone. But she has, and what she has achieved is enormous…"

Jessica was quoted as saying, "For me it was never about the record…
"It started out as something that was a personal challenge , but it's become so much more, and it's amazing to be able to share it and inspire other people…"
What is also interesting is the mute farewell she received when she set off 210 days earlier. Barely two dozen boats were on hand to say goodbye, with much of the nation questioning the wisdom of allowing her to set sail and fulfil her dream versus an estimated 50,000 spectators and the pride of the nation displayed on her arrival back home.

"The whole country is proud of Jess's wonderful achievement" – Prime Minister Kevin Rudd
Jessica has been hailed as – "our newest Australian hero" and almost everyone is now bathing in her glory. Refreshingly down to earth and humbled by the response to her extraordinary achievement she made these profound comments...
"I don't consider myself a hero, just an ordinary girl who believed in a dream"
"You don't have to be someone special to achieve something amazing. You've just got to have a dream, believe in it and work hard"

On Australia day her message to young Australians was to "Live Your Dreams". She pleaded for more respect to be given to other youngsters who wanted to chase their dreams. She was quoted as saying;
"We can behave how you want us to if you treat us with respect and if we're given the freedom to achieve things…"
When her parents were questioned about their extraordinary daughter, they replied – "we always held an unshakeable belief in our daughter and Jessica was quoted as saying – "she was grateful for the faith shown in her, by her family and by those who believed in her…"

So what are the Big Ideas from this message?
*Never loose sight of your dreams.
*When you hold you attention and intention of an extraordinary project the universe conspires with you.
*Detach yourself from the 'good opinion' of other people. What they think of you is none of your business.
*Records don't count. The attainment of a worthy ideal, an extraordinary project or goals has inexplicable personal benefits
*Belief, Faith and Action coupled with Persistence is the secret recipe to achieve extraordinary results

"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored."

7 Keys To Effective Leadership..

John Maxwell is an international legend when it comes to the topic of leadership! In "The Right to Lead"...Learning Leadership Through Character and Courage, you will read about people who have earned the right to lead others. They became effective leaders not by making other people follow, but by making themselves the kind of person people would want to follow.
This book is loaded with stories, quotes and "nuggets" for anyone wishing to sharpen their leadership skills. Today, I'd like to share John's introduction to The Right to Lead. Enjoy!
Excerpt from: The Right to Lead, by John Maxwell...
WHAT GIVES A MAN OR WOMAN THE RIGHT TO LEAD?
It certainly isn't gained by election or appointment. Having position, title, rank, or degrees doesn't qualify anyone to lead other people. And the ability doesn't come automatically from age or experience, either. No, it would be accurate to say that no one can be given the right to lead. The right to lead can only be earned. And that takes time.
The Kind of Leader Others Want to Follow
The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. You must become someone others can trust to take them where they want to go. As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:
1. Let go of your ego.
The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. They lead in order to serve other people. Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, "Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things, and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things."
2. Become a good follower first.
Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first - and why West Point has produced more leaders than the Harvard Business School.
3. Build positive relationships.
Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. That means it is by nature relational. Today's generation of leaders seem particularly aware of this because title and position mean so little to them. They know intuitively that people go along with people they get along with.
4. Work with excellence.
No one respects and follows mediocrity. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.
5. Rely on discipline, not emotion.
Leadership is often easy during the good times. It's when everything seems to be against you - when you're out of energy, and you don't want to lead - that you earn your place as a leader. During every season of life, leaders face crucial moments when they must choose between gearing up or giving up. To make it through those times, rely on the rock of discipline, not the shifting sand of emotion.
6. Make adding value your goal.
When you look at the leaders whose names are revered long after they have finished leading, you find that they were men and women who helped people to live better lives and reach their potential. That is the highest calling of leadership - and its highest value.
7. Give your power away.
One of the ironies of leadership is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. You're meant to be a river, not a reservoir. If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.

The followers who looked to these leaders learned from them, and so can we. As you explore their worlds and words, remember that it takes time to become worthy of followers. Leadership isn't learned or earned in a moment.~John Maxwell

Not Getting The Results You Are Looking For?

Our successes don't just come out of nowhere. It usually isn't just one thing that changed the course of our future either. It is a series of little things that have led us to where we are. These are all within our control. When you focus on what isn't working, what you aren't achieving, what you haven't gotten... That is exactly what you are telling the outside world and your own subconcious mind that you want more of. The aggravation wraps your mind up into actually working to bring you more of what you don't want.

So, how do you get what you DO want? Focus on what is working, what have you been able to accomplish (no matter how small), how far have you already come. Focus on the success of your life and that is what your brain and the world will begin to bring to you, more success. Many researchers will tell you a positive thought or vibration is stronger than a negative one. Absolutely true and I am very thankful for that. However, we all have two types of vibrations going out, our surface vibration/thoughts, and our deep seeded or core vibration and thoughts. The surface thoughts are the fastest and easiest to change and must be done. The ones that will truly bring to you what it is that you want is the core, the most difficult to change. This is where your personal development is a must. Personal development not only works with the surface but helps CHANGE the core.

Two simple practices to help with both sets of vibrations/thoughts are... journaling and meditation.

Jack Canfield refers to a journal as an Evidence Log, Results Journal, or a Gratitude Journal. This is a great way to see your true core and surface but also a way to help you steer and harness the power of your thoughts and to renew your vision to yourself. Jack suggests starting each day of journaling with reflecting upon what you are grateful for in your life and what has gone right either for that day, week, or your life as a whole, no matter how small. Also include what you see to be your future success and discuss how those achievements make you feel.

Meditation will help to quiet your mind so you can regain control and focus. This allows you to shut down the surface layer that is typically highly judgmental and critical. This practice will also allow you to tap into a higher level of creativity and help you achieve the results you are wanting. Many times you may ask yourself for the answer to questions that are hindering your success and as you quiet your mind, your own brain will offer you up the answer you have been searching for and now that the judgmental outer layer of your focus is quiet, you can hear the answers you need.

The other component is to remember, if you keep doing what you've always done, you will keep getting what you've always gotten. If you aren't getting the results you want then change what you are doing or how you are doing them. Take new actions or modify what you are already doing. Jack Canfield also mentions to remember the Rule of 5- every day do five things that will specifically take you towards your goal. Successful people are the ones who do the things that the failures won't do. What are you willing to do? What is success worth to you?

A friend shared this quote with me today. I believe it sums up success nicely...

The road to success isn't straight.
There is a curb called failure;
A loop called confusion;
Speed bumps called friends;
Red lights called enemies;
Caution lights called family.
You will have flats called jobs.
But if you have... a spare called DETERMINATION, an engine called PERSERVERANCE, insurance called FAITH and a driver called VISION... You will make it to a place called SUCCESS!

Business ~ Just like baking cupcakes!

I spent this morning having fun with my kids: baking cupcakes!

Baking is simple. Just follow the recipes as laid out, add the ingredients in order, heat the oven to the right temperature and watch the time and the results come out perfect every time.
Business is the same…especially Network Marketing and/or direct sales. The recipe for success is already in place. There’s no guesswork, just follow the recipe and the results come out perfect every time.

Like baking, people sometimes like to get a bit creative with business. Add an ingredient here or an ingredient there…make a substitution or two. Sometimes the result may be better but often the cake falls flat or the result taste like crap.

It’s OK to experiment once you’ve perfected following a recipe. This is particularly true because if the new creation fails, you always know what to do to get a good result again (go back to the original recipe). When you’re new at something, that’s not the time to experiment. Truly master the already existing recipes for success, get the results you desire and then get creative.
Well…I’m off to eat another cupcake.

Enjoy your day! Make It Count!

"Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core that you can't get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, you're not setting big enough goals."
Bob Proctor

Follow Your Intuition

I have had an interesting day... and one that has, once again, taught me to follow and trust my intuition! And it feels fantastic to make a decision knowing you have trusted your intuition, it just feels RIGHT!

Intuition is an immediate recognition of the truth, independent of any reasoning process.

When you follow your intuition, you have more energy moving through you - you are in the flow, you feel alive! When you don't follow your intuition, life can become a struggle, like swimming against the tide. You can train your intellect to listen to your intuitive knowingness, and learn not to ignore, discount, or contradict the intuitive feelings you are getting. You can trust your own inner knowingness, and make yourself the authority of what is right for you.
Your intuition guides you to do new things, to be in the flow, to experience more grace and ease, to follow your heart, and guides you to be in the right place at the right time. It also leads you to taking good care of yourself, your health, and your emotions, and to having improved relationships with people. It can make your career, creative endeavors, and work life better, more enjoyable, and even effortless. Following your intuition can increase the flow of money and prosperity in your life, for as your internal guide and teacher, it is always showing you what to do to increase the flow of energy.

"The only real valuable thing is intuition." Albert Einstein

Never underestimate the power of YOUR intuition!

Your Financial Destiny... You CAN Control It!

How Can You Control YOUR Financial Destiny?

...especially when there is such doom and gloom regarding the economy. The state of the economy does not have to effect you!

You’ve probably heard me talk time and time again that YOU are ultimately in control of what happens in your life. In this post, I talk specifically about how you can RIGHT NOW gain control of your financial future and create your own DESTINY, rather than leave it up to chance.

One quote that I believe sums this up nicely is:
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your reality.”
Your fate…your destiny begins with a thought, much like in the book ‘Think and Grow Rich’.

What are you CHOOSING to say to YOU and to others?
Because again…it is the THOUGHT…that becomes the WORD, which becomes your ACTION.
What kinds of actions have you been taking?
What have you been saying to yourself?
What have you been thinking about?
If you don’t like it, you can change…even RIGHT now. Or…tomorrow. Again…a choice.
Putting off today what can be done tomorrow is a recipe for failure.
Get done what you can today so that you can do something ELSE tomorrow.

The ACTION you take becomes a habit that is hard to break.
Your purpose should be moving your toward making specific ACTIONS now HABIT….
The Habit of being RESPONSIBLE.
The Habit of taking you and your business seriously.
The Habit of Showing up to Play each and EVERY day.
The Habit of nourishing your mind.
The Habit of Talking to People and Prospecting.
The Habit of ALWAYS being someone that can be COUNTED ON.
CHOOSE to think differently if your destiny requires it. Do it…and do it now.

Another great quote comes from Anthony Robbins:
“It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped”.

Make a decision RIGHT NOW, in this MOMENT to change the small simple things that need to be changed in order for you to fulfill your destiny.

To Your Financial Freedom... if that's what YOU choose!
