The World is Evolving
The world is evolving and it's a great thing to be a part of. I would say the world has had enough of the negativity, the wars, the economic throws of globalization, the corporate "who cares about you" mentality, the "take this pill" and it will all be better solution, and the medias sensationizing of everything bizarre, cruel and haneous. Just turn on the news...where's the positive stories of people assisting people, of the successes in life, of the accomplishments? Instead we get death counts, misrepresented information, crime statistics, warnings...even the weather is rarely correct. We are inundated with information from every direction: TV, radio, e-mail, RSS, newspapers, magazines, etc. You can stream it to you in millions of ways so you never have to face the silence of yourself. ever source is telling a different story with a different angle intended to attract you into the black hole of information overload. People aren't even comfortable sitting in silence anymore.
John and I were at a restaurant the other day (a daily experience for us) and there were numerous families present. The story was the same from table to table...drones disconnected from each other barely even conscious of each other's presence. The kids mesmorized by portable electronic games, parents sucked in the paper or sales circulars. I'm sure their convinced of the urgency to "know what's going on the world". How about what's going on in THEIR world?
People are sucked into the commercialization of everything. They NEED this and NEED that, racking up tons of debt, working harder, enjoying less and constantly stressed out about the inevitable dooms day of job cutbacks, layoffs or downsizing. The clock is ticking. Just drive in rush hour on any given day. You can feel the frustration, disappointment and stress. It's a killer. But don't worry, there's a pill (or 10) you can take for it. How about just eating healthy, exercising more and relaxing. Most people don't even "have time" for a vacation anymore.
I think the world is waking up. They've had enough. People are getting back to the basics of connecting. Just look at all the reality shows that have popped up. People want to connect to "real people". They want to see success...they want to see SOMEONE win, even if it isn't them personally. It gives them hope there's more out there. The world is changing. People are seeking answers to break free, to realize their potential. They've known there's more, they've dreamed of and now they are seeking it. I remember being in this grey haze, of going to work, surviving until the next day. Believing there was more and then I found it, grabbed it and ran with it.
The personal development marketplace is thriving. People are seeking to grow, to achieve, to live. The stories of constant death and destruction are making their own personal mortality even more apparent. Last year people spent more than $8.9 Billion on personal development and growth products (and that's not including the diet market). Tony Robbins' business is exploding. New personal development gurus are popping up left and right. What the Bleep? has become a household name. Bob Proctor's The Secret is taking the world by storm...he's been on Larry King, Ellen and even Oprah. People are tuning in to empower themselves, their tired of choosing to be disempowered for so long. They are turning off the TV and opening up books filled with worlds of wisdom, enlightenment and success strategies.
The more people who join this movement the more change we'll have - every person contributes the change in the energy of this planet. People are learning how to move from a lack, struggle, victim way of being to a prosperity, creative, empowered way of being. It's a natural happiness that is passing on to children. The school systems have been restricting kids for so long, it's time for them to empower children but we have to be the leaders first. We're on a mission. This evolution is building serious momentum and I'm excited to be a cause for the transformation of the world. Leadership is the most precious commodity. Time is the greatest gift we have. Using our time to provide people with leadership and an example of powerful living is the greatest contribution you can make in the world.

Taking Time for Me
In our society today, it is so easy to be consumed with the urgency of things. We are inundated with urgent matters - emails, phone calls, people, TV, media, etc. We live in an information society filled with distractions. We get consumed in our business, consumed by the "big of little things" and before we know it another day is gone. Recently I found myself in this position. I was very "busy" but at the end of the day, I found myself overwhelmed by what I hadn't accomplished. In looking at my day, I realized that somehow I had gotten off the path of prioritization. I was allowing little things to consume my time and had forgotten to take time for me. I was consumed by emails (emails that didn't even matter) and lots of other things that I was giving my attention but that were not moving me forward to my goals. All it was doing was leaving me overworked, overwhelmed and exhausted. Not to mention a little bit moody:)
Fortunately, once I recognized it, it was easy to "fix". In my life, the times when I am the most successful, relaxed and having fun in my life are the times when I take the most time for me. I think we get the idea in our head that if we work more and work harder, we'll get better results. We put technical things in front of the things that really matter such as personal development, meditation and visualization. We are consumed with activity and eventually after "forcing" and "pushing" are disappointed that all of our efforts haven't produce the results that we wanted. Why is that? It's because we are in a place of force instead of a place of power (Dr. Hawkins's book, Power vs. Force is a great guide to this).
We think that if we just put more in, do more activity and get consumed with busy-ness, we're going to "make it happen!". I've actually found the opposite to be true. The more time I spend on me, whether it's doing my personal development, getting a message, going for a hike, or doing some travelling, the more successful my business is and the more I'm enjoying my life. I'm in a place of Power rather than Force. I'm spending time focusing on my goals with an inherent knowing of their manifestation. When this is, I don't feel the "need" to push or force it. I'm just relaxed, confident and having fun. Not just that, but I find myself being giddy because I'm having so much fun, loving my business and loving my life. The energy of success and happiness is magnetically attractive to so many people and business explodes. I also find that I have an abundance of time during my day. It gives me tons of time to do my animal rescue work and operate my business as well as pursue other interests I have like real estate.
A few weeks ago, John and I made a decision to take an hour a day to do personal development together every day. I have to admit, I was being a slacker. I was frustrated with so many things because I wasn't putting time into me. I wasn't spending time meditating or journaling. It's funny, as much as I often think I've "arrived", I can still fall of the path so easily. I'll blame the holidays!
We're currently doing Bob Proctor's Born Rich Program everyday for an hour together. Simply taking this hour a day, in the middle of my day, has had an incredible impact. First of all - Bob Proctor is truly a master. He's one of the most powerful self-development coaches in the world. He's also responsible for creating the movie the secret (www.thesecret.tv). He's a stand for transformation in this world and I'm glad to align myself with him and his teachings. Spending an hour a day with Bob has gotten me to take a look at myself, to who I am, to who I am becoming and where I am going. I've set some incredible goals for this month and this year and I feel empowered to achieve them. I also feel relaxed and am having fun!
The key to success is simply focusing on you. The more relaxed, confident and empowered you feel, the quicker the manifestation of your goals. Spending relaxed time each day, allows me to realize my personal power and to move confidently throughout my day and week to manifest greatness. There's no stress or forcing, no breakdowns, just the confident beingness that attracts all I desire.
I invite you to take time to focus on you. You are the creative realization of your pure potential. I'd love to hear what you have created from taking this time each day, so be sure to share!

Wealth Builder's Blue Print
One of the things that has made me so wealthy, is my committment to consistent study of empowering materials. When I got started in business, I was fortunate enough to get started with a personal development company; exposing me to empowering information that enabled me to tap into my true potential.
At the time, the only thing I knew about personal development was how to read. I was reading empowering books and gaining alot of knowledge, but really had no idea or commitment as to how to apply it. I was getting smarter by the minute but I definetly wasn't getting richer.
Then I found LLI and the Beyond Freedom Program. It tought me how to practically apply personal development tools and techniques to get real results in my life. It's been incredible - so much so that we've shared it with many of our friends and family and have watched them get remarkable results in so many areas of their lives. For more about Beyond Freedom click here.
I was listening to Donald Trump's Wealth Builder's BluePrint
today and something struck me. In it he talks about focus and the dedication that he has given to building his enterprise. It's no wonder he's a success. This is a great program and has served as a reminder of some of the key elements I've learned from LLI - how to be focused, how to develop and maintain a mindset of success and how to develop my entrepreneurial mind - unleashing my creativity. I love learning from people who have achieved extraordinary wealth - a path I am on. Donald Trump is one of my favorite people. His passion and zest for success is inspiring and he is a phenomenal leader.
Liberty League International taught me to study successful people and emulate them. My mentors here taught me how to take these people off of the pedestal most people put them on so that I could relate to them and see myself on the same level, with the same capabilities and potential. It also helped me to model their "beingness", follow their actions and, most importantly, model their decision making abilities. It's made me wealthy in so many ways...wealthy beyond my wildest dreams.
Remember...everyone has this potential, it's simply your choice to realize and express it.

Viva Las Vegas!
I just returned from Las Vegas where John and I hosted a one day training event for about 400 of our team members. It was fabulous. I'm not in the event planning business, that is for sure...but this event was spectacular.
What struck me most was the energy, momentum and power that comes from having 400 excited people who are all moving forward in their life come together to support each other in success. The people who attended were simply amazing. The diversity of the crowd struck me too - there were people in their early 20's all the way to people in their 70's and 80's. All different backgrounds, ethnicities, shapes and sizes...it was wonderful. What everyone had in common was a desire to create greatness in their life and the willingness to learn and grow.
Which brings me to Las Vegas. I can absolutely say I dont' like Vegas. I'm not a gambler, I don't smoke and if it weren't for the shows, I probably would never go there. It's a place of desperation...people blindly hoping to win a jackpot, sucking down some pollution and wasting precious time. I watched some of them... like drones just hitting the button on the slots over and over and over again.
Wake up! is what I say. Everyone is filled with such incredible potential. Instead of "hoping" to win a jackpot, you could create your own. You could live a fulfilled life of greatness, job and prosperity. It's simply a choice.
Anyways, this was a great weekend, spending time with other self-made millionaires, inspiring millionaires and people who are committed to experiencing life to the fullest instead of watching it pass by at a slot machine.

Little Differences
How fitting. I decide to start an acknowledgement journal, recognizing each day the little wins and today I get this inspirational message from Bob Proctor:
"We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee."

Law of Attraction at work.

Acknowledging Your Success
Today I had to opportunity to spend time with some great friends of mine. These friends are mentors that I hold dear...they have served as a guiding light on the path to success and have assisted me in facing myself to create my life as it is now. I honor who they are and the journey they have endured to their success. It's been an honor having them as partners in my success!
During our visit, we were reminiscing about the journey we have been on together for the last 4 years. While we talked, I realized how often I acknowledge the journey I have been on; often looking back at how things were and how things are now. But, what I often miss are the right here, right now wins. The little things that add up to big things. The daily acknowledgements of my success. It's easy to focus on what isn't right, what isn't working, what people aren't doing or what I'm not getting...it's like a TV re-run; a program that just keeps repeating itself. To consciously choose to focus on the wins in a new habit I'm committed to developing.
Acknowledging ourselves for the day to day wins that move us forward is so critical to our achievements. Afterall, success begets success. The more successful we feel the more successful we become the more successful we are to others inspiring their success as well. It's builds confidence and allows us to see how powerful we are in our own lives. It's WIN/WIN.
Now comes the follow-through! So, here is my idea. I am going to keep an acknowledgement journal. Each day I will write in it my win for the day. At night I'll acknowledge my win before going to bed (always wonderful to focus on success before resting) and in the morning I'll wake to it. I'm excited to see the results that manifest in my life as a result of instilling this habit.
Would you like to join me in the journey? This will be a blast! Once a week, I'll create a blog entry sharing one of my successes and we can all share in each other's wins. It could be something in business, home, health, family, etc. Anything that is a success in your day. Simply click on the "Comment" button and submit your win for the week.

Fulfilling Expectations
2007 is already proving itself to be a remarkable year! I started this year off with my first venture into real estate investing and it's going great.
A couple of things about real estate. First, it's WAY harder than my current home-based business. My LLI business is very simple...place some ads, call people back, show them the information and collect the checks. Easy. With real estate, there's so much to know, so much to do, a ton of coordinating, lots of risk and it requires people to really love it.
So, why am I even endeavoring into real estate? The reality is at 32 I've generated millions of dollars and had lots of fun. I've travelled all over the world - first class, bought the cars I wanted (Bentleys, Masaratis, Range Rovers, Lexus....), live in a gorgeous multi-million dollar home and have all the goodies I could possible want. Now it's time to put my money to work...to build a massive fortune for myself.
If someone asked me to describe myself, I'd say I'm a "doer". I focus my eyes on something and then go full out after it. So, I decided real estate was going to be an avenue for me to duplicate my wealth and leverage the income that flows in from my LLI business. I've made over a million in my personal real estate holdings, now it's time to duplicate that in investments.
So, my I closed on my first property on December 29th. It was a great deal. The woman needed out so her priority was time, I wanted price which she conceeded to and we went from offer to close in 2 weeks...quite remarkable! That is the power of intention. I've owned the property for one week, have it fully furnished and already have it rented to vacationers for the months of February and March.
Lots of people have warned me about real estate. Some people told me that vacation rentals are hard to do...you have to find customers, deal with them, etc. etc. My mortgage broker - Karen Fisher with Nova Financial - told me it's a great way to make money on real estate. I followed her advice and my real estate mentors advice and proceeded forward. I placed two online ads, created a website www.luxurytucsonrentals.com and put a flyer in my gym. The flyer produced one renter and the online ad produced the other...simple as that.
It's all in intention. I think many people fail in real estate because they don't have the intention of winning. They aren't coachable, they listen to the wrong people and they let fear get the best of them. I'm winning with it because I did exactly the opposite...I moved forward through the fear, sought council with experienced people and am staying coachable.
Through this whole experience it has given me incredible gratitude for LLI. Just a couple of hours a day has produced incredible income. Doing this real estate deal was hard work...I haven't worked this hard in years!

Become a Millionaire....SLOWLY!
I saw this article in Money Magazine: http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/moneymag/ontrack_millionaire/index.html. I was quite suprised on their advice on how to become a millionaire. It's probably because the person writing the article (as is true of most media) isn't speaking from experience and most likely isn't a millionaire.
I became a millionaire by doing almost the opposite. I didn't save much initially...invested in my business. I dont' have fancy degrees and I'm not working from someone else.
Is this really how most people do it? It seems way toooooo slow. I wanted to be a millionaire now...in my 30's (I actually hit it by 30), not wait until I'm 75.
There's far easier ways to generate wealth than following the slow plan to nowhere. Gosh, there's no guarantees you'd even live long enough to finally enjoy it based on this plan!
