Introduction.

How to Attract Wealth into your life and Be More Than a Winner--- A Champion?

The Journey To Self Discovery
 
Life is strange. Ever wondered how some people just seem to be in the right place and at the right time, they just get it right time and again without much effort? The Midas touch is theirs, where everything they touch simply turns into gold! They have health, peace, prosperity, security and happiness. This is not just about luck, coincidence or having  extraordinary talents, they have it because they tap into and use an important principle or law to manifest what they want. What I have for you is not something new, in fact this has been used successfully for thousands of years by a selected group of people who have discovered and used these principles to be the winners.

It is so simple that the majority stumble over it and just don't realise the importance of what it means to them. I know that I just did not get it for years, I was looking out there for the secrets to success and just did not them. I was looking but could not find it, because I was looking in the wrong place. I was expecting some external force to show me, that I was blinded to the answers to my burning questions that were there right in front of my nose all the time. How can I find my own success in life and more importantly how can you? Do not miss this like I did.

You Always Get What You Focus On.

Many books have been written on this subject. Movies have been made, lectures given and it all boils down to these 7 simple words. "You Always get what you focus on”. Focus means an intense, sustained interest or attention on that, which is what you want. Some call it the law of attraction, visualizing or manifestation, it all comes down to this. You must identify what it is that you want or desire, then this brings with it a burning fire, an intense emotional charge from within you, “Your Personal Force” that motivates you to taking massive action.

Don't expect some external force to do it for you. The energy comes from within you, as simple as that! Once you decide to take action on what you want, new doors begin to open for you.

The way I see it, confidence comes by starting, doing something, then seeing an outcome, to build on that result, to work with what succeeds. Seeing progress excites and motivates, then practice makes perfect. Any mistakes that you make, you need to learn from, adapt and move on. Each of these adds another rung to your ladder, or building block to take you a step higher, closer to your goal and success. Once you have set your sights on what you desire that is where you will go. You will make your own luck and coincidences will happen, and everything will begin to fall into place for you.

Have you ever had epiphany? A time when out of the blue you have this realization that the answer you have been looking for is the one that you subconsciously have known all along and you know with certainty what your next step should be. That you will succeed at it. This is what can happen more often, if you desire it.

To do this, keep looking within yourself for direction. Your subconscious which works for you 24 hours, 7 days a week will direct you. Trust that still small voice, your six sense, whispering in the shadows of the periphery of your mind and then take action on that prompting. Do not be distracted or disappointed with any of your results. Determine to make a decision and follow through, to make it happen!!!

Great men like Edison tried over a thousand materials before he discovered the secret to his light bulb invention. In fact he knew he was going to succeed because he said that he was running out of things to try out. Just how badly do you want it, remember successful people never quit and practice makes perfect to be a winner.

100% Commitment.

What I am about to give you is powerful stuff, but you need to commit to this 100% in order for it to work for you. Only about 2% of the worlds population really succeed in life, by being people of value. It is not because they are special in any way, with higher education or through privileged positions. They have achieved this position because they have taken a journey of self discovery. They have all used the principles explained below, incorporated them into their lives, were committed to and locked onto what they focused on.

This top 2% nurtured a belief that they could do it. This gave them confidence and boldness to step out of the circumstances that they were in, take hold of their dreams and made their own destiny. They decided to be winners, took action, and became that, then winning made them into champions.

There are experts in the study of successful people who estimate that 80% of these top winner’s success was put down to psychology (How they perceived life, thought and what they believed was possible), the remaining 20% were the mechanics involved. It all starts with an idea, implemented, developed and then carried through to completion.

The difference between success and failure is almost always a matter of inches – the distance between your ears- 'Live out of your imagination, not your history.' quoted by Dr.
Stephen Covey
 
The mechanics did it by learning all the skills, discovering the know how that they needed,  sourced all relevant information, mixed with successful people and developed networks with them to perfect their game to make a difference.

In fact, a large proportion of this top group did not even complete a high school diploma. Countless studies have been made of successful people and they all have used these same principals and adopted these same attitudes without the necessity for higher education. This is all you need; “Work diligently with effective action! Reach for the stars! You can be ANYTHING you'd like to be if you are willing to make some sacrifices. Study the right people, use the right methods and follow through...

20- 80 Rule.
There is what is called the 20-80 rule or phenomena. It is dubbed this because 20% of any population earns 80% of all income, while the other 80% earns the remaining 20%. This rule seems to work in all walks of life, 20% of the population receives 80% of all awards and so on… What I am getting at here is, if you aim for the top 2% of what you want in life and you only get into the top 20% you will still do Ok…no matter if it is for finances, fame, recognition, security, peace of mind or happiness.  Decide now what it is you want, and start your own journey to personal, emotional, and financial freedom.

Set your mind to become a student to this and you will see the results in getting what you desire. This will not be through some mystical means or just positive thinking, but by utilising certain laws and principles out lined here. Some times this may happen sooner than expected, although for others it could be a life long pursuit, depending on some of the decisions made and on how well you listen to, and obey that still small voice within you.

The Journey To Self Discovery,

“Your Development Of Self Awareness”.

Right from your conception to now, all of your senses have been accumulating experiences, recording your actions and all the consequences, storing them to make up the YOU right now. Learning to tap into this reservoir of wealth deep inside you is part of what this is all about. By uncovering this information, experiences, knowledge of the past and present that is inside of you now. These become the resources for your future, by building on your goals and the decisions made today.

Most of your future success lies not in external elements but how you work with and utilise all your strengths, and know all your weaknesses so that you can strategise around them?

We all are specially and uniquely made with greatness inside of us. We all have great potential. The tragedy is that 98% of the worlds population either never really discover or develop what they have. They do not nurture a belief within themselves, or take the view with certainty that they can rise out of the mediocrity that surrounds them and their circumstances. There is no ambition, desire, motivation or encouragement to obtain a higher level of freedom, with financial security or satisfaction that can bring true happiness and peace to their lives.

What is inside of us, is what makes us great? Our brain is an incredible, complex arrangement of wonders that has even put men on the moon…
Napoleon Hill, an American author of personal-success literature who has motivated millions of people to greatness through his book “Think And Grow Rich” once stated:

What ever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.
"Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it
can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things
at that, when mixed with a definiteness of purpose,
and a burning desire, can be translated into riches."

If you are going to dream and believe then don’t limit your self, make you dream big. It takes no more effort to just think or if you choose, to “Think Big!!!

It all starts in the mind, so in order to continue lets go over a little bit of what we understand about this amazing organ called the brain.

It is important to understand the foundation on how our brain functions and how we can use this to get what it is that we want. This little understood organ has only just begun to reveal it’s secrets to us through modern science and technology. Some of these have been known for thousands of years, but never fully understood.

We all operate on a three legged tripod, we have a conscious, a subconscious and a spirit. The problem is however we do not utilise our subconscious and our spiritual side fully. Most of their full potential and the vast wealth of resources remain locked up in there.

The conscious mind is the part that we are aware of, the part that makes decisions, which decides on our attitudes, beliefs and how we view our world. It uses all our known and little understood senses to do its job. This is all wrapped up in the continuous thoughts that run around in our mind. (A little side note here, thoughts travel at the speed of light from A to B to C > within our mind. They are tangible, real and there is no end to them. They happen even though you might not be aware of this happening.)

Up until now, Scientists have identified 3 recognisable brain waves that operate subconsciously (so far), that a person does not even realise that they are there. Subjects that have been connected to a brain scanner and then shown a video clip that was sliced through with a quick pleasant or repulsive frame that was too short for any conscience awareness. These scans have shown that the subconscious brain has recognised them by showing unique brain wave activity for each of these images.

 The Subconscious- The Powerful 800 Pound Gorilla Of Your Mind.

As a back drop to understand this better, take this scenario: When you walk into a room your eyes take a complete picture of what is there, the brain however identifies the key areas to focus on , it scoops up the important elements for our survival and brings this to our conscious awareness. (For some people the feel for the room is what is noticed, warm and homely, for others it could be the floral couch that was similar to the one they had growing up). This is a small proportion of what the brain is actually recording, the most of it goes into our subconscious. All the extra material is there but we are not made aware of it, as our brain is busy processing all the stuff that is important to us, at that point of time. If we became still and wanted this other information, it would be slowly released to us and we would then become aware of it.

Our mind is normally filled with loud thoughts that tend to drown out most of what the subconscious is trying to tell us. The key here is to regularly take time out to tune into these still small thoughts, sixth sense or intuition. This is where you decide to focus  your conscious awareness to take precedent over any chatter of the mind. If you don’t do this, it means that a vast amount of information that our brain receives becomes redundant and unused.

What Is Reality?- How Do You Decide On What Your Reality Is???

It is all about perceptions and what idea or conclusion we may have on what we notice and experience…These perceptions are influenced by our beliefs and interests which in turn are influenced by a number of factors, such as how you were raised, educated, your environment, the media, who you associate with and what people in authority tell us is true. At one stage peoples reality was the sun went round the earth which was in fact flat and that it stood still in space.

Have you ever noticed how two people could witness the same accident and have conflicting reports of what actually happened? One would say a woman wearing a red coat standing on the pavement was waving at her friend across the street, when this car came round the corner and hit her. Another would say the car coming around the corner swerved to avoid a little black dog, skidded and went into the pavement. Both saw the accident but had totally different reports of what happened. The one did not even notice the dog that caused the accident. The perception of our world around us is to our own making, depending on how our minds are wired and what we are looking for.

This out look is the direct result of what we choose to focus on and the decisions that we make, as to what is important. THIS IS YOUR OWN PERSONAL REALITY. Your reality differs to the next person because they have decided on different priorities and sets of values. Some of this is deeply programmed from your early child hood (During your first six years) and difficult to change, but it is possible once you find out how? Here it is…

Our brains are very malleable with new neuron connections made daily as new skills are learnt or experiences that are deemed valuable. We are continuously rewiring our brain with new neurological pathways for our brain waves to follow— comfortable pathways created as we experience something new or exciting. This creative process can be fast tracked when combined with strong emotional ties or feelings. When a strong emotion is present the brain gives this a higher priority and builds more synapse connections to this thought or experience. This means we can train our brain to develop in a way of our choosing.    

It is a documented fact that when a person imagines, visualises or feels things in their mind, the same parts of the brain are activated as when they actually experience it. This means that your brain does not differentiate between fact or fiction. In your mind they are both the same. What this equates to, is your imagination can be used to build a belief system of your choosing. These thoughts or decisions can become what you want, when mixed with strong emotion and imaginative thinking. It is important to understand the mechanics of the mind, as you begin to use these techniques to be explained.

Desire- “Your Personal Force…The reason behind taking action. ”

Desire is a want or urging mixed with strong, powerful emotions to be used in reprogramming your mind.

We can train our brain to think and take notice of what is important for us when fused with desire. Our subconscious (SC) takes notice and is tuned into this desire. When we decide and focus our mind on the same repeated desires (when strong feelings are experienced), the SC will kick in. This will begin to sift through all our past and present experiences, will take note of, retrieve all that is relevant, make sense of it all, then formulate a plan together with the means for our conscious level to progressively act on.

“Once your subconscious is programmed and tuned into a desired outcome, it acts like a guided missile seeking out its target, not stopping until it gets what it was directed to do…

This processed and collected intelligence can sometimes come in dribs and drabs, at the oddest of times and must be immediately captured and acted upon, trust this intuition, your epiphany moment.            

“Take Massive Action On All Promptings-
 
Become a doer there and then, there is no time like now!!!
(Remember - don’t try to be a perfectionist who needs to have
every single little detail planned out first before taking  any kind of action.)

This technique gives our brain a power boost by building circuitry that leads to new creative ideas, to see gaps and opportunities, to hone your focus with super concentration to see subtle differences to help you make the right decisions. By learning to listen to your subconscious you will be able to feed off thoughts that this radar will be finding and bringing to you 24 hours of the day.

You will come across more apparent coincidences, you will be able to tap into what could be called a type of luck generator, as this marvellous organ continuously finds new opportunities for you to seize.

We Are Greater Than The Sum Of Us---The Spirit Within.

What this statement means is: If we added up all the parts to our bodies, there would be a huge  short fall that makes up the total, which makes up you. We have emotions, character, humour, whit, creativity, feelings, sensors and memories which are far more than a dead body total at the end of it all.

Albert Einstein in his E=MC squared theory states that there is a direct relationship between mass and energy. Our body (mass) and these thoughts (energy). So what happens to this energy at the end of life?

Please forgive me, I am digressing here, my point is, we are a spirit being made up of an energy not yet understood and not always acknowledged. We need to tune our conscious mind to learn to listen and work with our sub consciousness and the spirit within us.

Light, electricity, sounds are all energy that are able to travel, so why would it seem strange to think that our thoughts which are also energy, can not travel out side of us and be picked up by someone more sensitive to this?

I firmly believe that, what we have inside of us is capable of becoming sensitive to this, through training. How often have you heard of a simultaneous scientific break through, in different places, independent of each other. Or a mother that has known that something traumatic has happened to her child without being there. Other times these experiences could be more subtle, less dramatic, but never the less still received and not realised where these inklings came from.
Make a point to regularly touch base with your inner self, for inspiration, wisdom and direction. In a later section, how to do this will be covered.

*****************************************************************

The Thirteen Principles.


1. Decide What It Is You Really Want. “Let Desire Be Your Motivation”.

Find The Reason “The Why” in your life with what you are not happy with and “Why” you want to change. ( There has to be a reason or no action will be taken.) Identify your main objective and attack it with passion. Desire is one of
mans greatest motivators to drive you to your goal. Desire brings with it energy, it raises your energy levels to drive your mission forward. This is your personal force that gets you over any obstacles that obstruct your path to completing your mission, to fulfil your dream.

Your success in getting what you want in life depends on pin pointing exactly what it is you want, then locking onto it with passion and determination. Have you seen how a bull terrier locks onto a bone, there is no letting go of it? This is an idea of what is required here.

What are you working towards? What is your great goal in life?
Always be reminded and working towards what you want and desire from life. Make a decision to follow your heart. Tap into a resolve, drive and determination to reach it... This will carry you, together with a positive attitude, as you enjoy this productive time.

What you have to focus on has to be very specific and then you must decide that this is it… Write it down on a 2x4 card in the present tense, “I Have Now In My Possession…“to carry around with you as a reminder. There has also got to be a burning desire included in this focus. The stronger and more specific this desire is, the easier and quicker your journey will be.

Having a goal of:  “Lots of money” is too vague, write down a specific amount that you want by a set date. If it is a partner you want write down and describe exactly the kind of person you want and by when? This is not some wishful thinking, but the start to something serious that your subconscious mind, will from this point on start to develop a plan of action for you to follow. This is a base to build from. More about this later.
 
2. The Power And Freedom Of Choice.

Choose What It Is You Want In Life. The Choice Is Yours, You Have The Freedom To Decide On It.
Choose today- Now- that from now on to become more Empowered, Excited and Enriched. When you throw off the shackles of the past, all the limiting factors in your mind that have held you back, then your eyes will see that you do have the freedom to choose, because self limitation will be gone.

Decide that today is better than yesterday, with infinite possibilities for tomorrow.
The life that we are now living is the direct result of past choices that we have made, so choose today what you want for tomorrow and you can make this happen.

The Power Of Choice. Choosing a positive attitude requires a decision that gets to make the difference between success and mediocrity or failure. By doing this you open up your mind to new exciting possibilities.
Don't see life as a battle but instead as a learning curve, with problems to be seen as challenges, as a way to make a brighter, more colourful world around you. Make today your fun time. The mind is a very powerful tool. We can accomplish our dreams by just reprogramming the thoughts that we entertain in our mind. It is a matter of learning how to think differently and then acting on that learning.

Instead of seeing doom and destruction, expect to see Opportunity in every situation, solutions to problems. Reap the benefits and fruits of today as you learn to cultivate a positive attitude which can be described as Self-help Positive Cognitive-behavioural Therapy

a. The power of your intentions. Make the whole time ahead of you a time to help and share with others. See it as “A Win, Win situation“, an opportunity to change peoples lives, to empower, motivate, educate, inform and create interest in new exciting concepts, strategies or opportunities. You have much to give, so get down and share those extraordinary pieces of wisdom trapped inside of you. Decide life is fun and to be enjoyed.

 b. Aspire to put your best foot forward. You go where you set your sights, goals or intentions. Have a vision to be the best, most helpful, then see success and open doors ahead of you.

c. Open up your mind and your souls eye to all the opportunities that are presented to you, to see all the abundance surrounding you. Choose a positive attitude to life and that will be the life you will begin to live. I am not talking about walking around with rose tinted glasses, but this will be the life chosen for yourself. It takes no more effort to aim high in life, than it is to live a life of mediocrity and this choice is now yours .Anything is possible. Make your choice, a life lived without limits…

d. You are the Captain of this ship called life and you are in control to decide what course you set. Don’t be afraid that you are unable to make the journey, have faith that those skills will develop along the way to get you there safely.

3. You Always Get What You Focus On…   (You Have Your Hand On The Steering Wheel Or Rudder, You always Head And Travel In The Direction That You Are Looking)

“Focus, Lock Your Mind On To Your Desires And Intensions For Your Life…

By locking in your subconscious to your desires, makes this a priority. Your subconscious will start to tune into what ever is out there, find what it needs to feed your conscious with the means and plan to obtain it.
By seeing the reward in front of you, is also the driving force or motivation to getting it done. Let this reward permeate and become rooted in your mind and soul. See it, touch it, feel it within your minds eye. Remember thoughts laid down with emotion  become embedded quicker and more firmly.

Your 2x4 Card…

Take that 2x4 card I told you to do with your specific desire on. Put time aside and write that goal out 100 times on another sheet of paper. Experience the emotion that goes with it as you do it. As you write your subconscious will begin to give you thoughts, take notice of these and amend the statement in line with these new thoughts.

For example a statement could change from: “I will have £200 000 in my bank account by Christmas 2009” to say: “I will have £100 000 In my bank account by Christmas 2009 for a deposit for my dream home on the Costa Del Sol, Spain”. When your subconscious and your conscious are in harmony (which is the aim of this exercise), all obstacles deep rooted within you will be addressed, taken care of and removed.

If what is hidden deep inside does not come out here, it will hinder any future plans to make this happen. After writing out your goal 100 times and you are not at peace with your goal or you feel that it is not obtainable, keep at it until you become comfortable with it. Having completed this, read your card once when you wake up and then again before sleeping at night. Don’t mentally strive for it, but allow your conscious mind to rest as your subconscious does its thing. By mentally striving, we clutter our mind with thoughts that drowns out instruction, putting us in a position not to receive.

4. The Words You Speak Create Your World In Which You Live.

Choose carefully the words you speak and believe that what you say with your mouth, will become your reality,

"The words you use and what you believe is real, and thiscreates your world".
You always get what you focus and take massive action on.
 
Self Fulfilment Prophecy is defined as speaking words of your choosing, then fulfilling your aspirations, hopes, dreams etc. through your own ability, belief and effort.

Here is my understanding of how this all works.
By speaking words out loud reinforces your belief system, as it hears these words that come from outside of you. All I really know is this works. If it is positive, that is what you will get, as simple as that! Just do it and it will work for you.
 
5. The Out Come You Want--- You Have To See It, Touch it, Feel It.

What You Want Has To Be More Than a Dream or A Goal, It Has To Be Something That Grows And Becomes Real Inside Of You.

Use your imagination here. For those who are more visually orientated, visualise what you want and see it in full of colour, with smells and laughter. You have to experience this as the real thing. Others might want to write down and describe in detail what it is they want. People who are more auditory orientated might like to hear what they want.  Record yourself describing your desire on a tape or a MP3 player. Replay this at least once a day, to be continually reminded what it is you want. Better still, once when you awaken and then again just before retiring at night… Impregnate your mind with these rich emotional desires.

These emotions are energy, this is your fuel for your journey forward…

Create your own vision board and place it where you can be continually reminded of your future. A vision board is a large poster that can be created by pasting pictures and writing inspiring messages, to represent what you want in your life.

Display items, pictures, statements, or anything else that inspires you.
 
Place in the centre, a picture of yourself, then surround this with the people you want to share your future with. Now surround this with everything you want to attract into your life. Make it colourful and specific. Pictures of money, your dream car and home, travel destinations, life styles, healthy bodies, just fill it all up with what you desire. This is to impregnate your mind with the future that you aspire to. This can be placed at your work station, bed side table, somewhere where you will constantly be reminded of it.

Test drive that car of your dreams, visit estate agents and view the homes you want to be living in. Allow yourself to see yourself living happily in that dream home you want and NOT in the one that you think is affordable. Look out for the one you really want. Doing this sets the tone to make it a reality, it opens up the mind to believe in more.

Mind movies are also a great tool to use. These are the same as the vision board but made into video clips, backed by powerful music.

http://www.mindmovies.com/vid2/DownloadVid2.html

Use What Ever You Are Comfortable With. Keep going back to it daily so you are reminded and motivated to stay the course. There are many genuine, successful testimonials of people getting what they wanted using these tools.

Once again you always get what you focus on. The subconscious does not differentiate between the imagined and reality. By seeing your desires as real, prompts it to bring it to pass.

The anticipated satisfaction of creating something inspiring, insightful, informative, that can help others could be your reward. See your self as a person who gives value, is a contributor to the world around you. See that outcome and that is what you will produce. By seeing a successful outcome in your mind, is practice towards a successful outcome. Remember the brain can not differentiate between reality and what is imagined. Perfect practice makes for a perfect outcome.

This is more than goal setting, this is the fuel to get you where you want to go. If you decide to set out on a journey it would be difficult if you don't have the energy and conviction that you could get there. This is your #1 short cut to getting your work or goal done with enthusiasm and passion.

6. Believe You Have It.

Conscious and Subconscious  Must Align to be in harmony. When this happens you will be free to believe it, you will be free to live it, you will be free to have it. Condition your brain that you have it with certainty. Once you obtain these beliefs then your success becomes a certainty.
Faith and belief go hand in hand. Have faith that this is yours. Faith is the substance of things unseen as if they were. This has to become a sure thing in the here and now, both mentally and spiritually. You have to seize your dream by believing it is yours…

Y our only limit is what you believe and have faith in!!!

The 4 minute mile.

Up until May 6 1954 no athlete was able to break through and cross this barrier of running a mile in under 4 minutes. That was until Roger Bannister crossed the finishing line after covering four laps of Oxford's Road track in under four minutes. In the next 2 years this barrier was broken no less than 37 times.

Many previously had desired to cross this barrier but they did not believe it was possible, that was until Roger Bannister did it. When this psychological barrier had been broken this allowed others to do it because they then knew with certainty that it could be done. This alone pushed them further than what was up until then deemed possible. It was just a psychological barrier waiting to be broken. The potential was there all along…

Using all the techniques previously explained, all contribute by conditioning your mind to getting here.

Have Faith and Belief in yourself, your prosperous future and abundance all around. Many millionaires were made during the 1930 world depression, even though there was apparent lack all around them. These people saw opportunity and seized it with both hands by making a difference in other peoples lives. They never saw lack or recession, they saw problems as opportunities, and by using creative thinking, solutions were there to  be found or solved to benefit others.

“They took massive action on their dreams because they believed it was possible, then by taking these actions, it made them into champions…

7. Allow Your Self To Receive.

A large majority believe that they are unworthy to receive anything good. They feel that they don’t deserve an extraordinary life or have much to offer. This is false thinking, I am here to tell you that you can have a blessed life, that you are worthy and you are capable with much potential, so go ahead now and receive it because you do deserve it. Release yourself from any limiting thoughts that are binding you from receiving what can be yours. Recognise now who you are and what you are capable of, which is far greater than what you previously thought. Break through these limiting thoughts by replacing them with “I CAN!!!”

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. - Norman Vincent Peale, 1898-1993

There are two obstacles here, that are of our own making, a sense of unworthiness and the second is the fear of stepping out of our comfort zone. We want familiarity more than change or stepping out into new territory. Getting past these hurdles requires a stronger emotion than fear, it takes desire enforced with a decision to take action.

Take action now with a grateful heart, adopting an attitude of gratitude for all the good things coming to you as you see your anticipated reward…See the results in advance, know you can do it. This is your moment now to make it happen
Our attitude and belief are the engines that drives our experience.

8. Capture, Write Down And Then Act On Promptings,

Ideas, Suggestions That You Get, Take Action, Be Open To What Comes To You. All the greatest ideas and opportunities will come to nothing, if they are not acted upon. Become self aware of all thoughts that come to you and be sure to follow these through.
Make a habit to carry around a note book and pen in your pocket, or next to your bed side table. You never can tell when an idea or thought arrives, if you do not write it down there and then, you are more likely to loose it. Don’t rely on your memory, as this fades to become unclear. If it is in your notebook or MP3 recording, you can always return to it, to clarify exactly what you got and if it was done.

These thoughts are valuable to your success, so make a decision to act on them now, these are your priorities, so do it…There is no room for procrastination here. Each step you take means one set closer to your goals and dreams, the sooner the better!!!

9. Have Confidence In Yourself,

Confidence is a key player- Believe In Your Ability, Competence And Your Expertise, With Courage To Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone And Try Something New, To Go Beyond What You Previously Thought Possible.

If you are not happy with the place you are in right now, choose to change it- decide on taking a new course of action.

The definition of stupidity is carrying on doing the same thing, with the expectation of achieving a different out come!!!

Doing the same thing as what you are now doing will not change your circumstances, you need to step out of your comfort zone and try or do something different to improve your lot!!! It’s up to you to decide now that you’re ready and capable to be an expert in your field to make a change to your situation.

Once you start your new journey, the further you travel on the path to excellence, the greater your confidence, as each obstacle is overcome. Make an effort to continuously improve your knowledge and skills. Learn all you can from leaders and model yourself on those that you admire in your field. This can be your inspiration for your own success.

These people you admire have developed these gifts within them to become who they are today. You too can learn, develop and follow in their footsteps, but with your own uniqueness and flavour.
 
10. Forming Positive Habits.

By doing something in a consistent and regular manner over a period of say 3-4 weeks, becomes a habit or second nature. Depending on what this action is, it either works for or against you. By deciding on a course of action to better equip you on your desired path, will take between 3-4 weeks of consistent repetition, to establish this as a habit. So begin by creating a ritual, a little step that you do every day to build momentum that gets you to follow through This will then continue to work for you, without effort, in your favour for as long as you want.

These can only become habits, if you decide to continuously implement them like brushing your teeth. Once established it becomes second nature to do it. This establishes and sets your path in the desired direction of your choosing. Every time you do it, it becomes easier to remember and your confidence grows. Allow yourself the self satisfaction of seeing the improvement or results from this, knowing that this came from you. Decide from now on, all new habits are going to take you one step closer to your goal.

11. Persistence.

Persistence and Determination Go Hand In Hand.
Keep hold of your dream, be determined to fight for it if you have to and push through until you succeed. When you hit a problem, say to your self, “How do I get over, round or through this?” Asking a question demands an answer… Just the fact that you have taken action means that you are one step closer to your goal.

Encountering a problem means you are starting to see a result from this action, (this might not be the one you want, but you are learning by it, for your personal development). This is all part of your journey to mastery, to become the expert who has overcome and you now become the person that is able and qualified to show others how to do it too.

"Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life.
If we were to go through life without any obstacles, we
would be crippled. We would not be as strong as we could
have been." ~ Author Unknown

You have to see failure as a temporary set back, all part of the learning curve. It gives you life experience, that gets you to grow and adds character, makes you wiser- so persist and push through. This is where 90% of the people stop, give up to try something else.

Remember “Failure only becomes failure once you quit”.

Quitters never win and winners never quit…Be a winner and see this set back as temporary and a challenge that you have to overcome to make your life richer and fuller.
Always believe in and see the light at the end of the tunnel…

There are so many true stories of gold and diamond prospectors who have walked away from their claims, due to disappointing results. The next owners, persisting on from where the previous diggings ended, have hit the jack pot, by just going a few feet further.

12. Resources Are Abundant
See the world we live in as a world of abundance, full of opportunities: If you see scarcity and lack you are placing an obstacle in your path that will block your progress. The truth is this world is full of resources, there is more than enough for all of us. There need not be any fear that your competition will take your share, as there is more than enough to go around for everyone.

Never limit yourself as to what is there, what you can have, or are capable of doing.
Do not focus on what you don’t have- instead focus on what you do have, skills, expertise knowledge, contacts, resources, or ideas. Run and make use of everything that is available to you. You do this by asking yourself, “What can I do to overcome this problem?” By asking a question, it demands an answer.

Charles Dickens wrote:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

For every crisis you face there is a hidden opportunity. Problems need answers and solutions, figure these out and you are in a position to help someone else out who is in the same position as you. This service means business for you, an opportunity waiting.

By attacking this problem with boldness and determination- using all the resources that you have available to you- will bring about a break through. Open your eyes and don’t just look but also see what is around you. By finding a solution and marketing it with a helpful attitude goes a long way to establishing yourself as a contributor and leader.

13. Surround Yourself With Like Minded People.

Tony Robbins was once asked how he became the multi millionaire he now is? His reply was that he spent time with multi millionaires. He brain stormed, got advise, and learnt from them. He moulded and built his success on the successes and attitudes of these over comers. He saw success there, he saw what was possible, this gave him certainty, a belief that if he did the same, he too would live that kind of life. It caused a hunger, a drive and the motivation to get it.

He saw abundance all around him and believed it was possible. His level of expectation and anticipation was raised and that became his reality. The decision “To Be That” was made at the start of his journey to greater things. He identified what he wanted, decided to take action, set his goal, then took his first step.

It is OK to befriend people in high position, if that is where you want to go. Don’t mind what others have to say. Make your own choice to where you want your path to lead. Step away from the 80% with no ambition, guard your own dreams by being careful about who and what you listen to. Negative words can shoot down and destroy any hopes. Life was once described to me like this:
“It is like putting a whole bunch of crabs into the bottom of a bucket. If one starts to climb out, all the rest will cling on, to prevent it escaping“.

Disregard any negative comments or discouragement around you and be the one who climbs out to escape. Albert Einstein once said:

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre
minds.”
Position yourself to get ahead by aligning yourself with those you aspire to.

In the personal development book called 'Lead The Field' by Earl Nightingale he states a very relevant truth:

"If you have no successful example to follow in whatever endeavour you choose, you may simply look at what everyone else around you is doing and do the opposite", because
The Majority Is Always Wrong

When the student is ready the teacher appears!!!

STUDY other Experts in your field, see how they are doing it, identify the patterns and introduce the best practices or business models into your life. Become the master in your field. Carve out ‘your own speciality and focus your efforts on your strengths’.

Approach life with a Win, Win attitude. If the other person wins, you win…

Be the person who is of value and makes a difference to other peoples lives, the greater this field of influence becomes the greater your success will become. Position your self as the person others turn to for solutions for what ever they need, by becoming THE Expert of your niche.

Differentiate and promote your brand to stand out from the other gurus. This means focusing on what is unique about you.

Success Tips To Use.

Here are 3 tips to help you tap into your own creative and productive well.

1. Take time out to reflect and day dream at least once during your day.

No one can operate at full steam 9 hours a day with out losing peak performance. You have natural cycles of high and low mental activity, so snatching 5-10 minutes for power                                                                                                                             
nap in this trough to recharge, reinvigorates the mind. Allowing it to take stock, prioritise and give a fresh perspective to your thoughts. Working with your natural energy rhythm, that ebbs and flows through out the day, brings out your hidden abilities just waiting to be uncovered. This practice will sometimes be frowned upon, thought slothful and unproductive, but to find those hidden gems this could prove to be your creative and inspiring source.

2. Preparing your Mind before taking a Power Nap, To Finding Your Break Through!!!

What is inside of you wanting to be let out? A book, a song, business idea or solution? Here is one way to find your break through, to bring it up to your conscious awareness.

First run through in your mind what you still want to do. Visualise the end result, goal or objective that you want. Keep a note book and pen handy to jot down any passing thought that might come and then relax, by allowing your self to drift away for a few minutes to allow your mind to wander without any conscience control on your part. It helps if you become aware of your breathing, the rise and fall of your chest that happens on its own, your rhythmic heart beat and the pulse of blood flowing through your body.

Become aware of any tension in your neck, shoulders, arms or legs, then relax those areas. This takes care of any distractions that could hinder your progress. By following this tip allows you to connect with your subconscious mind that continues to work for you, to find those answers, insights and ideas that you were not aware were there. Allow your mind to drift and wander while tuning into any ideas in the periphery of your consciousness.

3. Write down or capture these thoughts in some form or other.

Even some remote idea that could easily be dismissed could prove useful or is key to some lateral thinking process, only realised later. Keep an open mind here and who knows, new widows of clarity could be found.

Become aware of what is happening within you. Learn to work with these natural rhythms to recharge during your lows to boost your highs. By becoming self aware connects with your inner self to uncover what would otherwise be locked away. Expect to find that this also super charges your over all productivity to bring out the best in you.

Quit Striving For What You Want.

To start with, quit striving, release that pressure of having to complete something. Remove the stress from your life, don’t allow it in. Instead turn your mind and see your self with it all finished and done. Visualise this, the clearer you experience this moment the better. Then enjoy, bask it that feeling of having just done a good job.

Embrace that emotion to cultivate an attitude of gratitude. This puts you into a receiving mode that replaces all the stress that you had previously felt.
By seeing the end result in advance, nurtures a desire to realise this. You must really want it and know with certainty that you can do it. This is totally opposite to having to do it. Having to do it makes it a chore that has a negative effect. All it takes is to nurture and cultivate the desired mind set. A change in the way we think makes all the difference to the final out come of what we want.

The other reason is to remove all stress and tension that inhibits creativity. All this takes is a reprogramming of your mind to allow these ideas inside you to flow. We all have genius inside us, all it takes is to make that connection to that part of us that holds these treasures. That zone where greatness lies.

Learn to tap into this vast reservoir of genius. Some people find it easier to capture this creativity by writing it down on paper first. Others prefer talking out loud their ideas and use some sort of voice recorder to capture this, to be transcribed later. Find the method that works best for you.

It is easier for some to find this zone of ideas than others. It is still there and can be found if you truly want it.” Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves
miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the
same." ~Francesca Reigler
This does not just work for happiness, but for anything you wish…

For Creative People Who Want To Tap Into Their Creative Side.

There are seven universal laws that we all live with. Two of those laws are the law of attraction and the law of vibration. We as humans are made up of more than the sum of us, meaning if we took each cell of our bodies and added them together we would end up with all our physical state.

But we are all more than that, we have spirit, life, emotions, reasoning and the ability to create within us. We as humans are a very special creation that have the ability to tap into extra energy using the emotions that we generate within us and use our subconscious as the receiver. The arts and what we produce is the extension of those thoughts as a means of capturing these vibrations in a coherent and understandable way.

At times we are at a loss and just not tuned in to that zone of creativity, we just can't find those words or feeling that we need for our craft. To tap into that flow we need to
understand what drives us, how to find that state of vibration that attracts what we want.

As stated earlier, emotion and desire are the greatest drivers to all human exploits. We are all motivated to full fill and satisfy our emotional desires. It gets us to make a decision, then act on it to find, create and manifest those desires. For all creative thinking, it is the same. We need to generate a strong positive emotional desire within us to start our new thought process.

This is how I do it, I think of the goal that I want to achieve, then cultivate desire for what I want to manifest, then fixing my mind on the finished result. I imagine or visualize this to get a real experience in my mind of the finished out come. I am a visual person so this works for me, if you like to feel it through sound then use that. Work with whatever suits you. Nurture feelings of satisfaction, joy and gratitude in your anticipated future accomplishment.

I have created energy for the fuel to my creative thinking. I then say "Find, Find, Find" out loud and then again quietly to my self and then I wait expecting ideas or thoughts to come and surface in my conscience mind, that my subconscious has prepared for me. This is my way to tap into this law of attraction and using my intuition. It works for me every time. The first thoughts come very softly or quietly, you need to be tuned into them and become aware so as not could miss them. I write down every thought and as I do this, the tap is opened and I am in the zone.

I hope these thoughts have helped you to become the Winner and Champion---Living the Life Of Your Choosing…

Many Thanks For Your Interest.

To Your Success.
Best Regards.
