Next Post:  #WordOfTheDay: Magniloquent

So .. .earlier this week I was listening to what’s called an Inner Circle Audio. It’s basically something to help you develop not only as a person but, you know, as an entrepreneur and as someone who can be a positive influence on the world.

Well, one of the things it talked about in that audio is: “What are your non negotiables?”

And I’ll provide a link HERE for that blog post.

One of the non negotiables I decided to do for myself is to learn something new every day.

Now, recently I’ve been watching TED videos and you know that is a great and easy way to do that, get that 20 minutes in a day of listening to a good audio – something that interests me, something that I’m PASSIONATE about … and so TODAY I watched a video called “My Stroke of Insight” from the “Brave Neuro World” Netflix playlist by Jill Bolte Taylor.

And this 16-17 minute video? … It’s very hard to explain what I went through listening to the story of this woman who with clarity and insight and … just … BRILLIANCE …

She was able to not only tell you her background of being a neuro anatomist, but how she was able to study he rbrain from the inside out when she had a stroke. And what she experienced. And it – it really hit home for me.

It was a LITTLE emotional, so I WILL WARN you of this, but …

It was emotional for me because I experience a life threatening situation and do not remember what happened after I lost consciousness…

And I hear stories like hers … but her explanation was just so touching and so moving and it’s something that I’ve been looking for for a while.

Y’know, I’ve got life mentors – life coaches – y’know people in my life that I look up to in so many different ways … How they talk about how you should be MEDITATING and I’ve heard that meditation can lead some people into states or feelings of nirvana, and Jill – in a moving demonstration and less than 20 minute speech gives you an idea of how your brain works, and the hope and knowledge that you can achieve a similar state without actually being in a life threatening situation.

So, I’m going to provide the link for you here as a YouTube embedded video for your reference and so you can watch it when you have the time …

But I also wanted to provide you with a funny, quick little YouTube video of Bo Burnham who did a really great audio / song that I absolutely just love and it totally fits, so …

Below you’ll find the 2 videos that I’ve just referred to.

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where do you find your bliss?

Have you found that state of mind wherein you feel like you’re in Nirvana?

If not and you’re interested, what does you path to enlightenment look like?

Leave comments below and I’ll see you next time!

To Your Success!

Are You a Non Negotiator?

Do you know what a non negotiation is?

For this post in particular, it’s what I refer to as the things in whatever aspect of your life that HAS to be done, no excuses, NO NEGOTIATIONS.

Do you have anything like that?

Now, I’m not talking about the laws of the land … but they’re similar.

To succeed in something you have never done before, you must do something you have never done before.

You must be constantly learning, or else you will become stagnant and begin to wither away …

You must constantly strive to improve yourself, or you will always be as you always were …

I was listening to an audio from my inner circle (check out the presentation below for more information) and the audio I heard today was a personal development audio that not only helped me pinpoint some weak spots in my business plan, it hit me with the cold, hard, truth that I had allowed negotiations amongst my non negotiables.

Today’s audio really struck home … because I pride myself on having integrity.

That’s doing the things I say I’m going to do, no matter what – NO EXCUSES!

But then I’m tired …

Or I have work to do …

Or a business to run …

Or I want to spend time with …………..

…………………. you get the picture.

I find negotiations for not doing my non negotiables.

But we have big dreams and aspirations! And why not? The world is our oyster …

Only problem is we don’t have the tools to open it. And why’s that?

Because we don’t have non negotiables.

We don’t study about the thing we’re interested in. We don’t take action after going to that seminar that taught us x, y, and z about investing …

We don’t do what we say we’re going to do.

But that’s it! NO more!

You’re with me, right?

AWESOME! Then here’s my list of NON NEGOTIABLES:

  • Always smile when talking to someone!
  • Do my daily discipline of either listening to 30 minutes of an audio or 10 pages of a book that will teach me enhancements to my life, health, and wealth
  • Learn something new DAILY

While that list is super short … I’m taking action and focusing on what’s important – daily disciplines that will bring me closer to my current goals!

 

 

“If you don’t have ‘always’, you’ll end up with ‘nevers’.” – Grant Cardone

 

Imagine if you had a non negotiable where what you say goes. No excuses.

Would you live life with more urgency? You only have 24 hours in a day – and some of that is spent eating and sleeping.

When you make the decision to succeed, to win – you must manage that decision daily.

And if you don’t?

Your day will become managed for you. And the things you dream about, the lifestyle you want to lead?

It will slowly slip out of your hands and stay in the back of your mind instead of within your reality.

If you don’t respect yourself, you won’t go through with your own non negotiables.

You must attach massive pain to whenever you don’t do what you set out to do. Otherwise, it becomes negotiable.

Establish borders or “laws” in your life so you don’t violate them, which in turn is a violation against yourself.

What would life look life with several, consistent non negotiables? How much faster would you have what you want?

 

Don’t give up your non negotiables, b/c you will prolong or hinder seeing your timely success.

 

This is about YOU being able to take actions to see the success you’ve longed for.

If you don’t have non negotiables, you are not doing anything intentional about your success.

 

Take action IMMEDIATELY should be a non negotiable.

Listen to audios daily that will help you progress in your goals.

Read daily those books that will provide the knowledge to achieve your dreams …

Allow yourself to become the person you need to be in oder to achieve the goals and ambitions you have for yourself!

 

What are the non-negotiables in your life? – write them down!

 

Our body operates under laws. If it didn’t, things wouldn’t function properly. So why not take that same idea and apply it to the rest of our lives?

 

Only difference between people who are more successful than us is that our routines and what we do daily differs.

 

Your reality is a reflection of your routine. So if you’re not pleased with your current reality, lifestyle, or money situation, all you have to do is change the routine that is giving you your reality.

 

Have your routine SERVE you instead of work against you.

 

How much would it cost you if you don’t have these? Feel the pain!

 

You are worth a lot more than anyone has ever told you.

 

You will never see what you’re worth unless you figure out your purpose.

(A higher calling!)

 

If you STAND for nothing, you fall for anything.

The longer you continue to fall for anything? The longer you are going to NEVER see the things that you want.

 

Write down your non negotiables.

Read them.

Say them.

Become them.

 

You deserve to be honoring certain things in your life … What are they? What’s stopping you from honoring them?

 

Do what others don’t want to do. If you’re in business, you believe you are worthy of better things.

 

You have to first understand that in order to live the life that you want, there’s a certain type of person that GETS to live that type of life. There’s attributes/qualities you need to obtain so you can become that person. It’s through that person that you can step into that life.

 

You should have non negotiables for EVERYTHING in your life!

Next Post:  Are You A Non Negotiator?

While I was working on creating my legacy, I had some TED videos playing in the background …

The one that inspired this blog post was created by incredible story teller named Julia Sweeney.

This video of Julia Sweeney is of her performing

the first 15 minutes of her 2006 solo show Letting Go of God.

When two young Mormon missionaries knock on her door one day, it touches off a quest to completely rethink her own beliefs.

What really hit me most about this video was the fact that while her talk was amusing and thought provoking …

I could see so many similarities between her shared story and my own past.

We all know how we feel, right?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Thoughts lead to feelings.

Feelings lead to actions.

Actions lead to results.

Therefore, it only goes to show that we know what we are feeling … Because our thoughts brought them in to being!

Would it also not therefore mean that you could think your feelings away?

The question posed to Julia when she was a child:

Do you believe that God loves you with all of His heart?

With which I think the hesitation she felt on the wording of this was quite intriguing …

But if she had been asked:

“Do you feel that God loves you with all of His heart?”

Without hesitation she would have been able to answer this question …

One is logical. Thought based.

The other is emotion – centered. It is what leads to action.

But it is also fueled by one’s thoughts.

We know how we feel … Don’t we?

Sometimes we can’t make sense of our thoughts and feelings … that’s when we’re being led by our feelings, not our thoughts …

And no matter how much we may tell ourselves that it’s not worth it, we tend to wrap ourselves in the feelings and the moment in time ….

I felt like I understood and felt the same.

Sometimes you don’t know how to explain it. You just know it’s true. It is your truth.

What Else Did I Learn?

“start with a personality test before sharing the good stuff” … ok, so that’s not a direct quote but it’s close enough. 🙂

All of my life coaches, my success coaches, and my money mentors have said something to the extent of:

You are the average of the top 5 people you hang around with, listen to, and learn from.

Who is in your Inner Circle? Who do you hang around most? You need to guard your thoughts!

What About You? What Did You Learn?

What do you like to do for fun?

Do you enjoy swimming on the beach? Bowling with friends?

Maybe you love a good strategy session with your business partners on how you can add value to your customers’ lives?

Or maybe … just maybe you’re like a good portion of the population and you enjoy sitting in front of your widescreen TV or perhaps in front of a wall that your projector points towards, watching some form of entertainment …

Well, as most of you probably have figured out by now … I am competing in another 21 day blogging challenge (where you do 21 blogs in 21 days).

I have also heard of a vlog challenge where you do 100 vlogs in 72 hours or some CRAZY number like that (fortune favors the bold) …

But I already find it semi-difficult to either:

(1) find topics I’m passionate about that take less than an hour to create a blog post on (there’s just so much info!)

(2) find so many topics of interest that I want to share with you that are in line with my dreams & visions of the future that I find it difficult to choose just one

(3) find it difficult not to just want to always share this amazing funnel with you … or even this one that has helped create 13+ new millionaires in the last 3 years …

So while I will not be creating 100 vlogs (video log) or 100 blogs in the next (insert some tiny amount of time here) …

I figured I would share one of the ways I’m able to create as many blog posts as I can WHILE I’m doing other things I also enjoy … Like watching TED videos!

When my friends sit down to be entertained, for the most part (if it’s not game night) it’s for awesome movies filled with action, sex, love, and the typical Greek comedies or tragedies.

But what happened if you turned that veg time into time where not only are you entertained while using your sweet, precious, limited time left on this Earth …

What if you used it to provide your brain with information it can store away and use for another time?

  1. You could check out a TED Life Hack!

    My boyfriend will agree that I hate making decisions. I really do. There’s so many choices out there I just don’t care sometimes.

    But when I do? Boy, that’s the decision I’m making!

    (One time I didn’t get ice cream I was craving because the two places that were on the way home I wanted to go to were closed.)

    So if you’re like me where you hate to make decisions, or perhaps you just need some help making them, instead of watching The Walking Dead you could check out “How to Make Choosing Easier”!

  2. Do you have a passion for health care?

    Did you know that every cell in the human body has a sex? That means men and women are totally different – right down to their cellular level! (No need to get in a tizzy my fellow feminists! It’s science.)

    Here’s “His and Hers Healthcare” – a brief discussion on why healthcare shouldn’t be lumped together as a unisex care system:

  3. Ever have money issues? Maybe know of someone who is?

    What if you used your time wisely in front of the electronic income reducer and watch some of these videos from the TED playlist “Talks to Watch Instead of Shopping” like “How to Buy Happiness“?

  4. Have you ever been in the mood to just laugh your ass off?

    TED can help with that, too!

    One of my favorites from the Smart Laughs playlist is “Nerdcore Comedy” …

    It started off a little slow, but got so good! (And inspired me to share this blog!)

     

  5. Do you like to help people?

    What if you were like me, a yellow (thank you Marc Accetta and WorldVentures), who loved to help people? Helping in any way you could?

    You could stumble upon some of these TED Talks in “The Quest to End Poverty” playlist … Like “Poverty, Money – And Love” the shows how microloans puts power into the hands of those who live on a few dollars a day:

     

So as you can see, there’s something for everyone with TED. So if you’re just looking to veg out and be entertained? You can find a bunch of short bursts of whatever floats your boat and can find just about anything on a variety of subjects!

 

Now, as I mentioned earlier … People being in debt or barely getting by, living paycheck to paycheck?

This is something I know can be eliminated.

We were all made for greatness … We were all born to win, but programmed to lose.

In each and every one of us (you included) — we all have the power to bring about a positive or negative change.

I want to be remembered for helping people rise above their limitations and leave their own positive and powerful legacies.

And for me? My biggest limitation growing up and deep into adulthood was always money. I always felt limited in what I could do (or not do) because of what I perceived to be a lack of wealth and prosperity.

Debt is a crippling thing to a lot of people these days … what if you could help others by helping out yourself?

My biggest dreams are to:

– provide information to late middle schoolers and high school kids on money, wealth, residual income, etc
– help 1,000 people every year become DEBT FREE
– help 100 people every year to become financially free (where they no longer have to work for anyone else)
– help 10 people become new millionaires EVERY YEAR

I want you to be happy and prosperous in every aspect of your life. If this is something you want for yourself as well, you must check this out and get the information I am freely providing to you RIGHT NOW!

How Will Personal Development Improve Your Life?

By 16 Comments

Previous Post:  How to Recognize Jealousy & Overcome It

Next Post:  Alternative Entertainment to Typical TV Theatrics

Why would anyone be interested in personal development?

I love this explanation from Wikipedia:

Personal development includes activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, enhance quality of life and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations. The concept is not limited to self-help but includes formal and informal activities for developing others in roles such as teacher, guide, counselor, manager, life coach or mentor. When personal development takes place in the context of institutions, it refers to the methods, programs, tools, techniques, and assessment systems that support human development at the individual level in organizations.

It’s been on my heart for a really long time that I become a wealth and life coach. I followed my path in life so that my future children would not have to go through what I went through … But if I knew now what I knew then? I may have made different decisions.

And I realized within the last few years that I want to be able to provide the knowledge I have been accumulating in order to improve the lives of those around me and my circles of influence.

So I would like to thank you for stopping by and helping me achieve one of my dreams … and also provide you with some of the sites I use for some of my own personal training.

Enjoy!

  1. Modern Problems, Ancient Solutions:  Ancient Jewish Wisdom via Rabbi Daniel Lapin

    Did you know that you can learn a lot from the ancient Jewish wisdom? (I didn’t.)

    Being of Jewish descent, you would think I would know a lot about my own heritage, right?

    Well, when you don’t grow up in a household that follows all traditions or even ensure that you are knowledgeable … It’s kind of hard to be a “good Jew”. (Whatever that means to you.)

    Now, I am a follower of Christ. But I was shocked when I started listening to the teachings of Rabbi Daniel Lapin. There are links in the Good Book that most people do not understand or follow because they do not know the wisdom of ancient Jewish knowledge.

    I truly believe that whether you are Jewish, Christian, or (honestly) any other faith … No matter your background, I agree that everyone needs a Rabbi.

    There is a mountain of wealth in the ancient Jewish wisdom … whether it is understanding the 10 Commandments, learning more information on how to eliminate debt and increase your wealth, or even about the problems in the Middle East … There is so much you can learn from this incredible Rabbi.

  2. Zig Ziglar’s Home Page

    I was first introduced to this incredible figure, outstanding motivational speaker, and power leader when I first started attending trainings for the business side of my VIP lifestyle on a beer budget club.

    Zig Ziglar has had an incredible impact on my life. He is the creator of the Born to Win book, written from his audio series.

    He has helped thousands of people realize that we were all born to win, but we’re programmed to lose. His teachings not only help you be a better version of you, but helps rebuild relationships, increase motivation, improve goal setting, and so much more!

  3. Official Tony Robbins Site

    I was also first introduced to Tony Robbins when I went to a training for my first direct sales business. I loved the personal development those trainings provided, and so I wanted to dive into anything and everything I could get my hands on.

    So I went to an event in October 2014 called Unleash the Power Within — and it was INCREDIBLE! There was so much I took away from the event, so many people I met with the same mindset (which is important when you want to achieve something most people don’t care to shoot for) … And then the programs you can do through him!

    There’s so much people can learn from others in any field … And Tony has stuff on time management, debt elimination, fixing broken relationships …

    Every success and wealth mentor I have ever know has said:

    Find someone who has what you want and do what they do.

    And it’s so true. Why go through all of the hardship and heartache when you can learn from the people who have already been through it and can lead you through the muck?

    tony robbins

  4. John C Maxwell Home Page

    One of my major dreams is that I want to lead people. I want to be able to inspire thousands of people to improve their lives … to do ordinary things on a daily basis in order to live an extraordinary life …

    And in order to be a great leader, you must also learn to be a great follower. So I listened to Scott Ross when he mentioned John C Maxwell in one of his trainings …

    And I have read several things by John Maxwell that were both enlightening and inspiring.

    If you’re looking to lead a team (whether as a manager working for someone else, or leading a team in a business of your own), then you can either check this out, or you can check out John C Maxwell. ^_^

    maxwell

  5. Rich Dad Poor Dad (Robert Kiyosaki) Home Page

    And finally … Robert Kiyosaki!

    Again, I was introduced to Robert Kiyosaki when I went to one of the very first trainings for my first home business.

    I purchased the “Rich Dad Poor Dad” on my Kindle and read it within 2-3 days. And this was the first book to change my views on money, assets and liabilities.

    There is so much that can be learned from the materials provided by the Rich Dad company … Now, some of it may be redundant, but as I mention in the above video, the cone of learning confirms that you need to have a constant reinforcement.

    Over time, we as humans forget things – especially if what we’re learning has no link for us … No way for the information to be cemented into our brains.

    Like Zig Ziglar said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing, that’s why we recommend it daily.”
