Gathering the Strength and Power to Move Forward to the Attainment of your Goals.

As you move along your path to the achievement of your goals there will be times when nothing happens. Everything seems to come to a standstill and there is no movement forward. You become disenchanted, unmotivated and your goals seem so far away and unattainable.

This is the most dangerous part of your mission. This is the time where most people quit as they feel it just won’t happen to them. You have to be aware when this is happening so that you too don’t succumb and quit too. This is momentary pause is not a signal to you that nothing is happening and its time to find another way.This pause is the moment where you need to re-gather and prepare as it’s when things are about to really fly for you.

I’ve been on over 100 hundred flights and still the scariest part for me is just after take-off when the engines seem to cut off and the plane seems to stall and I think that it is about to fall out of the sky. I panic every single time. But every single time after that momentary pause, the plane re-gathers, flattens out and moves forward. And every single time I have arrived safely to my destination.

What do you do then when you arrive at this moment? How do you overcome the fear and the thought that your goals are about to drop out of the skies and aren’t going to reach them?

First recognize what is happening. You are just having a pause to gather your strength. So gather your strength. Focus on why you are doing what you are doing and then do something. That something maybe just to put everything to the side while you take some time out. There is nothing wrong with that. It’s better to have a temporary time out than a permanent one. During your time out enjoy life. Do something fun that will ignite your passion again and remind you of what you want to do and are capable of.

At the moment when I let fear overcome my rational thoughts and I think the plane is going to fall from the sky I have to use all my strength to talk myself around to being calm. I’ll usually hold (squeeze) Craig’s hands to rely on his strength, affirm over and over again what I know to be true- all will be okay and I will get to where I want to go safely, if I just have enough faith. And there lies the key; having faith.

Have faith in what you are doing. Have faith in your ability to get where you need to go, even if you have to have some time out to get there.

During your momentary pause if you just go with it, you will come out refreshed and with even more power to excel your growth. Just stay with your goals. I’m just coming out of a momentary pause. Several big things have been surrounding my life lately- my daughter and husband’s birthdays, a house move, my husband’s parents visiting from Australia and so with that trips away and so forth. (Hence the absence of my blog posts recently).

At times I felt overwhelmed and frustrated by it all and my goals seemed pushed away. I felt all momentum slipping and with all this came the feelings that it was all to much and I just couldn’t do it. Luckily for me now, I recognize what this is and so I know what to do. First I accept it, then enjoy and deal with the other things going on in my life, do as much as I can do well and with enthusiasm and then get excited because now I know my plane is just re-gathering and is about to take off!!

Know for Yourself: Don’t Die With your Music Still Inside of you!

 

Don’t die with your music still in you’This has to be one of my favorite quotes. Dr. Wayne Dyer has inspired many to find and live their true purpose in life. He first got me asking the serious questions about my life; where it was going and where I wanted it to go. I was at the point of my life where soul was dying- I was not living my true purpose. I didn’t know what it was but I knew that inside of me was a great song that was dying to be played and I was afraid of never getting the chance to play it.

Dr. Dyer gave me what I needed to start playing the first note. I didn’t like the song my life was playing and knew that it was up to me to play a different tune. And so I began playing it. Step by step, I began to open up and allow my song to play. It is being composed each day as I flow with life and I am so grateful that my music is now being played and heard by others.

Being successful is not easy, you don’t hit every note right the first time but you continue to practice. I called upon the support and encouragement of a community of people to assist me along the way. I committed to learning all I could about what it took to be successful and know for myself what it was I came here to do.

What music did you come here to play? Inside of you is a special song that was orchestrated just for you. What is it? What is your song? What is your music? Why are you afraid to play it? The world needs to hear it- of course they do as it’s what you came here to do. The world needs you to develop you; to play your music to help make this world a better place. The world deserves to hear your song!

Your responsibility now is to yourself; to discover what your true purpose is. Education can help you to know this for yourself. Your future depends on you, the music you play depends on you. Whatever you choose to do, don’t choose to die with your music still in you. Don’t quit on you!

There is no excuse for not trying. Where you are now does not determine your future. You write your future, the notes are there, you’ve just got to play them. We all face challenges, sometimes we just need a little help with setting our goals and gaining confidence to know for yourself.

On this special day today 09-09-09 an extraordinary DVD, set to change the lives of many people was released. In it contains the very knowledge that I used and many other successful people, to learn how to play their music.  It will build your confidence, giving you the education and the tools you need to start living your true purpose.

You can receive a $5 discount by entering the coupon code: 147551 at http://www.KnowforYourself.com

Get excited! This is the help you have been waiting for. Your music is dying to be played. It’s time for you to play it. Know for Yourself what your music will be.

 

Do Not Die with Your Music Still in You!

Get on the Field and Touchdown- Join the Evolution

 

We went to the UNC opening football match on Saturday. The stadium was a sea of electrifying blue, charging up the atmosphere with anticipation, celebration and downright fun! The Tar Heels exploded onto the field and spent the remaining four hours carving it up and smashing their opponents. Even though it really wasn’t a big game it felt like the biggest game of the year because of the charged up energy- the best is yet to come.

Just being there at the beginning of the season with all it’s charged up energy and excitement reminded me of what is happening right now with my business. We are launching tomorrow onto a new platform that is destined to transform the lives of thousands of people both financially and personally. There is so much  excitement and anticipation in the air, and we are all charged up for the season of growth that is to come. We are ready to drive our opponents all the way back as we take each player forward to score touchdown after touchdown. Just watch those firecrackers explode.

The question for you is are you going to be on the field experiencing all the guts and glory or are you going to remain in the nosebleed stands forever, looking on just wishing you could be part of the magic? We are taking things to a new level, changing the world one positive news story at a time and one millionaire at a time. You are in the right place, right time to join the evolution.

 

This is your chance to be there at the beginning of the season, to run out onto the field and make a difference. Information is one of the most consumed products on the planet and we are releasing an educational curriculum that will uplift, inspire and transform. Polaris Media group is about to become a household name. It’s time for you to get on the field and start running.

Stay on the Rails No Matter What

As a child I loved to immerse myself in Golden Books. I loved the little stories and pictures and would read them over and over again. I held on to most of them and now delight in sharing them with my daughter.

Little Golden Books are just that as they contain within in them little Golden pieces of wisdom. Who ever knew as a child that the words of a golden book held such priceless lessons that could teach us how to live a rewarding, successful and fulfilling life.

I re-discovered some of their pearls of wisdom just yesterday when I was reading to Kalyra the book ‘Tootle.’

Tootle is a baby locomotive who attends a school for engines so he can learn how to be a big locomotive. He attends many classes but the most important is ‘Staying on the Rails No Matter What!’ His instructor is adamant that the trains will never be any good unless they can get 100 A+ in this course. They can afford to ‘spill the soup pulling the diner’ and ‘turning the milk to butter now and then’ but if they come off the rails they fail!

Tootle wanted to be the NY flyer; the fastest train around. He began to work very hard to learn all he could but as time went by he kept getting distracted by all the fun things in the meadow and he would get off the tracks to go play.

Tootle had the makings to be the fastest train on the rails but he just couldn’t stay on them. Despite all his skills and deep desires he just could no help being enticed by the meadow. He began to fail ‘Staying on the Rails No Matter What’ and he was just going nowhere. His dream to be the NY flyer was getting further from becoming a reality.

The people of the village came up with a plan to get Tootle back on track and out of playing in the meadow. Tootle knew he always had to stop at a red flag and so the villagers hid in the meadow and at every turn of Tootle’s playing they held up a red flag and Tootle stopped.

He began to feel frustrated and disappointed in the meadow. How could he have any fun when he constantly had to stop? All the fun was gone and he found himself going around and around in circles. He couldn’t understand why the meadow was such a fine place to begin with and he longed for a green flag to help him get moving again.

Eventually he saw his teacher holding a green flag on the tracks and Tootle raced to get back on track. “This is the place for me” said Tootle. “There is nothing but red flags for locomotives that get off their tracks.”

And of course Tootle then went on to become the famous ‘Two Mile a Minute Flyer!’

What a profound message this story holds for it’s reader. Think carefully about it’s message and how it applies to your life at this moment.                                                                                      

What is it that is in the meadow distracting you from become the ‘fastest train around?’ How do you see these eventually turning into red flags? 

Distractions such as TV, facebook, wii, eating, playing, gossiping, non-productive tasks etc don’t help you to stay on track. Sure they are fun for awhile but eventually you’re going to get lost in this maze of red flags that just keep stopping you from getting to your destination. Pretty soon the fun will be gone and you will be frustrated, longing for a way out.

How are you going to get back on track and Who is going to help you?

Sometimes we need the help of a community and leaders to help us get back on track. Tootle’s community recognized his power, saw he was having difficulty staying focused on his goals and living up to his potential, and so they devised a plan to help show him the cost of his distractions and to get him back on track to becoming great.

My business has phenomenal success because it is founded on this principle. The community of people I work with in my business and the training I receive have taught me how to stay on track, ignore the diversions of the meadow and power on to be the best that I can be. There is always someone waving a green flag to help me just in case that meadow becomes too enticing.

It doesn’t matter how talented you are or how much you say you want something, if you don’t commit 100 A+ to staying on the tracks no matter what then you just aren’t going to go anywhere!

Trump and Kiyosaki Support the Network Marketing Industy

I am constantly gobsmacked by the amount of negative attention the network marketing industry receives. Network marketing allows anyone to have the opportunity to make a lot of money and quickly. It also provides systems, leadership, training, and a community of supportive people who are celebrating you and working with you to help you rise to the top of success. Why wouldn't anyone want to be involved in it? When I think of network marketing I think of freedom, wealth, security, support, self-improvement, success, lifestyle choices and control over my life. I love that I can set my income and work hours and I'm working to receive the benefits not to make one person at the top rich.

Okay so my words might not hold much weight for you. So I"m going to start off with the words of some very influential, wealthy businessmen. A millionaire and a billionaire- both self made. I'm sure you've heard of them, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump. Now I don't know about you but I usually pay attention when either of them speak as they are where I want to be. They know how to create wealth and the best way to do it.

Donald Trump was on the Dave Letterman show one night and Dave asked him if he lost everything what would he do?....and Trump replied: "I would find a good network marketing company and get to work!".... to which the audience laughed and jeered at him. He then replied to the audience by saying:..."that's why I am up here and you are all sitting down there!"

What I love and respect the most about Donald Trump is that he understands real results takes work and that he always takes full responsibility for his choices in life. Back in the 90's when everything in Real Estate was busting Trump was heavily in debt and was on the brink of failure and bankruptcy. No one gave him a hope of surviving the disaster, no one except Trump.

Trump could have blamed so many things for his dire situation: the economy, bad loans, the real estate industry... but he didn't. Trump blamed himself! He took responsibility for the position he was in and he was there simply because 'he took his eye off the game'. Because he could accept responsibility for his position, he could choose otherwise and he turned his situation around and became the billionaire real estate mogul that he is today.

Too often I hear in the network marketing industry people bad mouthing it because they failed. Legitimate opportunities that can offer someone a more rewarding and fulfilling life are labelled as scams because some individuals entered into it expecting a free ride and weren't willing to put in the work and follow the systems and take responsibility for their success or failures. Network marketing works - just ask Trump or Kiyosaki. If it didn't work for you it's because of the choices you made, accept it and choose otherwise. (Yes there are legitimate scams out there as well and if you got done by one accept that it happened because you didn't do your due diligence and you expected something for nothing).

Robert Kiyosaki gives the best explanation of network marketing and why it's an amazing wealth creation tool. As he explains it, the top of the network marketing industry is NOT like traditional corporate systems which only allows one person to get to the top. The corporate system is really a pyramid as there is very little room at the top for more than one person's success. "Network marketing is a reverse pyramid: it's primary focus is to bring more people to the top. It's a pyramid that pulls you up instead of pushing you down. A network marketing business gives everyone access to what used to be the domain only of the rich".

He also states that you don't make much money unless you help others to be successful as well (wow..People working together.. how revolutionary) and that another beauty of network marketing is that it develops your emotional intelligence and well as your business skills.

Why do people fail in network marketing? Kiyosaki says it's because either you quit too early, or making money is your primary focus when it should be on helping others to become successful.

Well, I am certainly following the advice of these two successful, wealthy businessman on how to create wealth. I'm not listening to Joe Bloe down the road who hasn't managed to get off his comfy couch to create real results. Follow in the footsteps of those you wish to be like.

What do I love the most about this business?

1) The strong, supportive community of like-minded individuals who are cheering me on with every step I make. In the Corporate world do you think you could phone the guy at the top and say
"Hi, I want to be like you, how did you do it, can you help me be as good as you and help me to get there quickly?" Do you think that would be a long conversation?
I have immediate access to self-made millionaires who willingly offer me advice as to how to do the same thing as them, they support, train and encourage me - their success depends on my success! They have a financial interest in me being successful! A true co-operative environment in which success could be the only outcome (if it's not then the only variable is you!)

2) A strong focus on Personal Development and growing as a person. Your income can only grow as much as you do. I work on myself everyday and I'm provided with empowering tools to do so. My life is dramatically improving in all areas. I'm learning how to create the life of my choosing.

3) Very low start up costs in comparison to other business models but with fantastic rewards. It's a fact that many traditional bricks-and-mortar type businesses and franchises can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in starting capital, and typically you may not see a profit for 18-24 months. You can make unbelievable money in Network marketing in a short period of time if you are prepared to do the work and follow the system.

4) A brilliant lifestyle. I can work from home, or anywhere in the world I like that has an Internet connection. I set my own hours and have time and financial freedom to do what I love. I meet people from all around the world and travel to amazing places.

I invite you to think carefully about the advice of Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki. Both are strong supporters of the network marketing industry and know it's the fastest way for anyone to achieve wealth. Now you just have to decide if you have what it takes to be successful in the industry as it works the only variable factor in it is YOU!
