I just recently was talking to a gentleman that was working for his brother cleaning a factory and his brother was paying him cash. I asked this man what was he doing before he started helping his brother and he said ” I draw a check and I am not going to be here very long because I don’t need to work. The world is full of people that are drawing a check and don’t want to make any different with their lives.

I call this a broke thought and even categorize it as a poverty mindset.

So when we think about what the book ” Think & Grow Rich” teaches
that thoughts are things. Most people have not been taught to take risks and are classified as the 98% that aren’t financially free.
There is a state called Unconscious Incompetence that I speak of
that really details that people don’t know what they don’t know.

You should want to be empowered & become coach-able and learn the principles that it take to make the necessary changes to allow your thoughts to transformed & then learn the skills and technical know how to achieve the financial freedom that you only have dreamed of.

Fear is the root means for all excuses & most are genuinely blinded
to the fact that this has been the pattern of thinking that has caused them to reap the lifestyles that isn’t conducive to a life of
financial freedom. So in closing don’t stay the way you are if it isn’t what you want. Click on the banner above & listen to the video
& sign up for updates and teachings that can put you in transition
to get out of debt and receive your chief aim in Life.
Remember your character is developed from your acts and thoughts &
it is your responsibility for all that goes into its development.

Goal Setting

In order to advance forward we need to set goals which could be both short term and also long term.  This is obviously useful if you are suffering from motivational problems, whereby you can not seem to get started or you can not achieve anything. Not withstanding you can set yourself a reward once you achieve your goal.

Goal Setting – Defined

You must attempt using the goals by defining them by time period and then by priority. List them below by time period, daily, weekly or monthly. After each goal, number them in order of priority with # 1 being the highest priority or most important goal for each time frame. Identify a suitable reward for each time frame or goal.

Specific The goal should identify a specific action or event that will take place.

Measurable The goal and its benefits should be quantifiable.

Achievable The goal should be attainable given available resources.

Realistic The goal should require you to stretch some, but allow the likelihood of success.

Timely The goal should state the time period in which it will be accomplished.

Goal Setting - Main Points

Main points:

• One of the most commonly asked questions is “How do I stay motivated and take action?”
• What motivates you? And how do you get motivated?
• We are all motivated by different things.
• Short term motivation vs. Long term motivation

Examples: Losing 5 pounds or getting a new car by a certain date = short term
Feeling good about yourself or living a certain lifestyle = long term

• Goals = short term
• Vision = long term
• Your primary motivation should to be tied to your vision.
• Your vision needs to inspire you for the long term.
• This business requires self-motivation.
• External factors vs. Internal motivation
• Externally influenced motivation is not a bad thing. It is a natural part of life.  But it is not enough.
• You need internal (intrinsic) motivation to keep you going when the going gets tough.
• Some of my internal motivators include:

-My faith
-Family (external factor, but there is also internal side to it)
-A sense of fulfilling my purpose

• Figure out what your internal motivators are, and then make sure that they are a part of your vision.
• Tips and tricks are NOT the solution for why so many people are not motivated. However, they can be helpful for short term daily motivation. Here are a couple of lists for you to check out to see  if you are interested in those kinds of tips.

Goal Setting - Action Steps
Action steps:
1) Figure out what really motivates you internally
2) make sure those things are a part of your vision
3) Think about whether your vision will motivate you for the long term, and if not, tweak your vision.

Even if you follow all of my advice from this lesson, there will still be times when you do not feel motivated. There will be times when you don’t want to complete the steps. It involves a choice, and the choice is yours. As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below. (Feel free to share something that motivates you)

Goal Setting - Theory & Research

Goals enhance self-regulation through their effects on motivation, learning, self-efficacy (perceived capabilities for learning or performing actions at given levels), and self-evaluations of progress.  Initially people must make a commitment to attain  goals because it will affect their performance if there is no change.  Goals motivate people to exert effort necessary to meet task demands and persist over time. Goals also direct individuals attention to relevant task features, behaviors to be performed, and potential outcomes, and goals can affect how people process information. Goals help people focus on the task, select and apply appropriate strategies, and monitor goal progress. As people work on a task they compare their current performance with the goal. Self-evaluations of progress strengthen self-efficacy and sustain motivation.
This produces commitment. This is why goal setting is essential to success on every level.

Set limits. Many people will walk all over you, if you allow them. Setting thresholds means determining what’s okay and what isn’t ok when it comes to how people treat you. One of the simplest habits to carry out this is to perform using the word “no”. Too frequently we are able to state “Yes” when we have a tendency to reply “no” simply through letting others understand they have restrictions on what is OK or not OK will propel a influential message that you are in control of your life. Take Back Your Power. You are in control of your life or you’re not, there is no in-between. This means that nobody has the authority to make your life a misery, unless you permit them. Start to take back the authority today affirming the same in the mirror to wake up every morning and every night before retiring to bed, “Love and support of myself.” Just this action will simply make an enormous difference. Never stoop to their level. No matter what other people do or say to trouble or irritate you by no means permit yourself to be sucked in or hooked on their psychological or emotional games of guilt.

Keep yourself admiration and integrity, selecting your vocabulary and actions with knowledge, even if you feel like giving them a knuckle sandwich. Assert their rights. You have the right to enforce the same, your thoughts and decide who you socialize with. You have the right to take pleasure in healthy and joyful relationships, productive with all the people you know or meet. You too have the right to finish relationships that suck the life right out of you and grasp it back from shine your light for all to see. Love yourself first. Seems simple if you say so quickly. This is actually the answer to the problems of life so why don’t more of us accomplish it. The response is straightforward, fear. Find out what you fear and then turn around and walk to it. By face your fears and defeat them will develop their self-esteem. Then you’ll just be a magnet for those who desire to celebrate your love with you. Learn new skills. One of the easiest things you can perform right away to advance your work or social life is improving their communication skills. Only learning new ways to deal with differences of personalities, moods and behaviors can make your life massively. Gaining extra skillsets in managing psychological and emotional games that people attempt to participate with you, your confidence immediately will skyrocket. Treat yourself to others the way you want to be treated.

If you want others to treat you with admiration and then give everyone is meet respect no matter how to treat it. If you wish for people to understand who you are, then, understand all you come across for who they are. This Action by itself will alter all their relationships. It cannot occur overnight, but if you don’t begin at this moment, then it most likely will not at all happen. Here are various useful tips for building healthy relationships: Don’t settle for any type of abuse. Never allow yourself be mistreated. Time someone’s actions over the line and abuse in any shape is the point to stand up for yourself and assert their rights. Sometimes, this may mean walk away. Other times it means speaking what you believe and think about their actions. The bottom line is that you are the only one who can alter how other people treat it is an option that only you can do. A winning formula. If you have a relationship in your life that is functioning well, it’s worth your time to sit down and figure out why. By understanding that this is a relationship that is satisfying for you will permit you to recognize and recur the attitudes and behaviors that work. Life is very short to waste time with people who try to drag it down to your level of negativity or victim hood.

Once you arrive across these people in the future, keep in mind that you deserve to be treated with due respect. Keep your head up, look them in the eye and say through their words and deeds. Almost immediately they will leave it alone or alter their attitude, anyway you win! Its great life and health!

In this article we will talk about how to prosper in a down economy. One question in mind, how do does people prosper in a bad economy ? If you know what to anticipate you can prosper and be very profitable even in a slow economy. A poll taken and the results revealed where that anywhere from 4 to 31 states have been in a recession at any given times since 1986.
 
  Still you can prosper in a downturn. Look for right the opportunities in adversity,  Many that is determined will be able to start a business in such a climate. Here are some considerations that you need to do in order to prosper. First, you must develop a positive mindset. Yes, as you are going through trials you have to keep your mind positive,so you do not get stressed out and frustrated. You need to established a innovative mind that you can come up with ideals on how to meet people’s needs and or solve people’s problems. That is the key to success in a down economy.
 
 What happens in a down economy is products and services cease to flow because of a down job market. When this process change quickly and dramatically, this produces opportunities for advancement and prosperity when the right platform is chosen.Products or sevices tha with low risk changes lives. The innovative mind seizes opportunities and capitalizes, this is what sets apart successful entrepreneurs from those that allow pressures to conquer them in a downturn.
 
The next tip is that you can’t listen to negative news that is spoken to on a day-to-day basis. You can’t listen to talk like ” situations are getting worse”. You have to determine in your mind that our economy Is getting better and improving everyday. Even when there is a average of 14 million people unemployed and statistically that totals about one in  nine people that are out of work. You have to determine that you are going to be a part of the solution and not a part of the problem.
 
This can be a great time to start a business, in fact 16 of 30 companies that make up the Dow industrial average were started doing a recession or depression. These include companies like Procter & Gamble, Disney, McDonald’s,General Electric and also Johnson & Johnson.
 
Also it is important not to listen to negative people,plenty of people are in the category of negativity. Instead of allowing this to enter your thoughts, you need to get with people that  visualize success and prosperity in their mind just like you. You need to pair up with those people who are successful are actually not feeling the effects of the recession. Really this is a key because it change the way you think.
 
 We need to keep in mind that this thinking process will make a difference in how we attract prosperity in a down economy. Learn a new skill set because the marketplace pays for value. Make conscious decisions to decide that you want to prosper during these times. The Bible speaks in Proverb 23:7 ” For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he..” Be innovative and make life changing futuristic conscious decisions like starting your own business. You may ask, Why is it important to own your own business on your own business? This means job security.
 
 When you work for an employer, that company make the decisions on what your future decisions are. But as a business owner, you can not be fired and you have a great deal more control on your destiny than a traditional employee. Also as a business owner your earnings is virtually unlimited. As a employee you are subject to how much you get paid by your employer. You may receive bonuses or raises over the years but your yearly earnings will be limited to the company’s pay plan.
 
If you have doubt as to if you can make this a reality then your first change is to start with your mindset. Now as stated earlier, here are some more companies that were started in a down economy. Let’s take Burger King Corporation. This company began in 1954 and as it introduced its successful signature burger the whopper, it still exsists today and the company operates in more than 11,100 locations in over 65 countries.
 
IHOP Corp., started in a recession. In July 1958, this restaurant started and now nationally chains over 1300 locations across the USA.
 
 FedEx  Corp. began operations on April 17, 1973 as federal express, a branch of the Federal Reserve.  Mr. Frederick W. Smith had hoped to get a contract. He didn’t but the company that delivered under 86 packages to 25 cities on his first night of operation now manages more than 7.5 million shipments every day worldwide.
 
There are many more that got started in a slow time including MTV networks in 1981, Wikipedia foundations in 2001 and also Sports illustrated was launched on August 16, 1954. Here is a big one, Microsoft in 1975  was created by, Bill gates, a Harvard university dropout. With the determination and the desire and with skillsets that offer value in the marketplace. Also teamed with the right mentors you too can Prosper in a down economy.

When we ask ourselves Why Should We Pursue Another Career, we often  Try To not make a big deal out of it , although We Should Be always in control of our Lives  no where we are headed In life, especially if we are not content with our current situation. Day after day thousands are finding out that there JOBS are not as  secure as they thought it was.

We are To Listen to our Hearts and know what our Specific Destiny is. I have Outlined three things that I know that reallly defined my Reason and realize that it Must Be Love. Whatever Anyone Say As To If  You Can Achieve What  You Want : Just DO IT ANYWAY.

Hi:  My name is Kristi Buckley and i’m going to be writing a 3 part series about the The Woman With A Name.It is my heart to see every woman know their true identity as women of The Lord.This in my opinion is the highest,yet most humble honor there is.Even in this there must be a progressive journey that we walk in order to truly understand what it all means.

 Before we began let’s look at a few words.The word Woman-an adult female human being;Womanhood-the state of being a woman;and last but not least,Name-a word or phrase by which a person,thing,or class is known;title.In the Bible,The Book of Genesis 1 ;the first thing we read is IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED the heavens and the earth.Then it goes on to talk about the creation of the environment as a whole.

 The Book of Genesis 2;we see the creation of man.The Lord says”It is not good for man to be alone“. We read about the first ever performed surgery by the hands who makes hands,The Lord puts Adam into a deep sleep,takes a rib from his side,closes up the flesh.Then the rib which The Lord had extracted from Adam,he made into woman and he brought her to the man and Adam named her woman because she was taken out of him.

 This story to me is the greatest love story ever told,why?because for me it shows the that Gods greatest creation is mankind, man and woman.By taking a bone from Adams side and creating Eve, God implied equality and mutual respect.As a young girl growing up i totally believed the myth that once you got your menses you were a woman,I was a bride at 17 ,a mom at 18 and then again at 19 and still had yet to realize after all of this that i was not yet the woman that i was created to be.

 I have been blessed in my life to have 3 wonderful women who are daughters of  The Lord,wives,mothers,grandmothers,sisters,aunts,you get the picture,most of all they are mentors to young guys and girls who like us are on a journey,trying to understand what it all means.I am a prolific reader,i have been since i learned to read and last year for some reason i felt compelled to read about pioneer women.My mind has so opened up even more about the strenght of women and how much more we can accomplish, and still be the unique,creation that we are.I am going to introduce to you a woman who has touched my heart in such a way,i am profoundly challenged in my mind,heart,even in my physicality,and i honestly believe you will be to.

I was born in the 60′s,raised in the 70′s and early 80′s,so if this lady was taught about in history i so was not there,yet looking back i really don’t think she was.Her name? Wihmunke-Wakan

In this Post, you will find some great insights on how to create success,

 by changing some important factors that maybe hindering you from creating the success you deserve. Finding out how to combat wrong attitudes, behaviors and mindsets which are enemies to success and can prevent you from going forward with personal growth which is a must and if these habits are not acknowledged and changed they become pitfalls that can prevent you from achieving your goals and dreams.

 The word create means to bring into being or to bring forth, so if you can imagine, you already posses what’s needed” A willing vessel” add strong desire & you have the means of tapping into the most powerful tool, the mind, you begin by learning how to apply positive thinking with strong desire and proven techniques that if applied could propel you forward to a life of empowerment, avoiding the very things that could be causing you to fail that you are not even fully aware of. The first change we want to focus on is our behavior and attitude which are habits derived by our Mindset.

 Let’s define success, this word means to accomplish a task or Goal with positive outcome or also favorable or desired outcome, desired in this definition, falls in the realm of mindset. Strong desire plus a winning attitude will bring forth the outcome of success, when we have a strong desire to succeed it allows a state of mind that produces a progressive vision which in return we develop a definite plan which births a genuine determination to succeed. 

So if you could change the way you think it can create a whole new you and this is how the mind begins to produce a never ending direction towards success.

 With this in consideration, let us examine one thing that we might face that could prevent us from becoming successful and moving forward with achieving Personal Growth to the level of the success we desire.

 Going to a training seminar “First Steps to Success” it was stated one of the main reasons for failure lies in getting to the root of an individuals problem which could stem all the way from childhood, now I know that we all want to become financially free and have time & freedom to do as we like, with family and love ones so pay close attention to this cause, as it can choke the peace out of the life that promotes reality.

There are many dysfunctions that could occur during childhood that follows a person to adult life. Here is one Giant.

1.         Self Image, Self confidence, Self esteem

If you for any reason as a child felt that you where not good enough or did not measure up to some level that was expected of you, then you could be a victim of this category of major drawbacks. After all, the scriptures states that “So a man thinks in his Heart, so he is” this is important of our mindset and it can allow failure.

So one way to combat this is to begin by writing a list of affirmations that changes those thoughts and images in our sub-conscience mind and begin to speak to ourselves on a consistent basis until we can began to build confidence and start raising our self esteem and self image. More powerful, use pictures in conjunction with the affirmations with your face attached to the surroundings and atmosphere you desire, Words cut out of magazines like I am successful, I am a winner etc. This is called a visual board. This will cause the sub-conscience mind to re-establish the way we think about ourselves over a period of time and after all, we deserve this, you need to convince yourself of this before you can go forward.
