Motto of Paul J. Meyers..Attitude is everything

I have a goal to write out my thoughts in hopes of assisting others along my same journey. Moving from the Employee mindset to business owner. It's been a great ride however I still find myself getting stuck.

Facebook is a great resource for me to be inspired by great quotes of others' postings. I saw this one today. What struck me were the words pursued and attracted.

"Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become" ~ Jim Rohn

My first response to getting started on any day IF I am feeling like I'm falling behind is to begin pursuing activities. Figuring out, planning my days activities. Nothing wrong with that but it puts me in my usual habit of busy work. The saying BE DO HAVE stays firm in my mind and busy work is simply hustling around "doing to have"....where's the "BE"?

I love to read and found this article in Success Magazine ... By Todd Eliason, writing about Paul J. Meyers.
Interesting point that was made was in Paul's reflection of his parents teachings. His dad was a carpenter and taught very wise lessons.

Paul states, "One tool that stands out in Paul’s memory is his father’s magnet, because his father used it to demonstrate an intriguing law that Paul would use his entire life. “Experimenting with this magnet brought the law of attraction to life for me,” he says. “Positives attract, and negatives repel. When people allow fear, worry, doubt, indecision and other forms of negative thinking to determine the direction of their mental attitude, they shut off the positive power of their magnets.”

So the first part of the facebook post was how pursuing was NOT the answer to success but attraction was. When I read this part from the article, it made sense and re-centered me in striving to become the person who attracts success.

A second part of the article that impacted me was when he described what it takes to become a winner!
Paul states, "Over the years Paul realized even more fully the powerful role attitude plays in determining success and winning in life. “When people think of themselves as successful, they succeed,” Paul says. “When you believe in yourself, others tend to believe in you. When they see your self-confidence and positive expectancy about your goals, they believe in you and begin to accept your ideas.”

I am successful therefore I succeed daily.

I live in my power, therefore my belief in myself and my venture is embedded in my soul

I accomplish my goals easily, quickly and efficiently

I am grateful for all the money I have now

I love people

People love me

I am enough

Unveiling...

Today is Wednesday, a day that is offering great reflection. I am reviewing my business plan for 2011, my marketing plan for 2011. Reflecting on thoughts that have assisted me...Rambling on in my head. I thought this morning I would do something most would never even consider, that is a 20 minute writing. I do them often but I usually am writing, not typing. I promise I will go back and reread this to make sense out of my random thoughts. When you are writing, that is one of the "rules", not to rewrite your words. When you reread them you will know what your core issue is hiding deep down. The more your do these exercises, the deeper you clean.
This is being pretty open for me. I am walking through what I guide my coaching clients through to give them an awakening. I thought I had already been awake, but now knowing we all go to sleep as well and awakening is an ongoing activity. Funny how I learn so much from my 20 minute writings. I can do them because no one else ever has to read them. My kids or husband may find my notes in journals then all the truth will come out. A part of me wants to know when I am to die, I have considered burning them. What good would that do? keep me hidden from the ones I love? Silly statement when I see it written out. But truth is like that, learning to know who you are with full acceptance, well anytime you want to hide you are not accepting. I feel resistance in writing down what is in my head for fear of retribution or criticism. Funny how that always is the case, I try to be open but when I am I get reprimanded because I'm not following someone 's. I have simply learned to keep it to myself. Interesting. When Doug and I were driving home from Highland, UT we stopped at a red light. Doug mentioned we could turn and get to Draper from here. Great idea but I was still drawn to go straight into the traffic, construction and willing to participate in a longer drive home ALL because it was familiar to me. I was startled at how hard it was for me to deviate from my norm, my normal actions. Long story short, we turned and enjoyed a pleasant drive to Draper without the traffic and construction. Beautiful views, great weather and great company.
If any of you reading this... you can see I simply ramble. Pause, Pause, Pause, I'll do it! I am faced with negative thoughts, thoughts of me not good enough right now. I only have three houses I'm working on, to me that's not enough. I find myself in the same cycle over and over never doing or being enough. That right there is false! I know I am good enough and I know I do enough. I can only do what I do that moment and it's the best I can give right then. Can I become even better? YES that is the goal but you notice I said "even better" which gives me the words of acceptance but improvement all at the same time. It don't hear lack of anything. It pushes me forward to become even better than before. That feels good.
I was wondering who I could talk to, receive council from but I realize I have put myself in the position of leader. People come to me to get council not to give it. Being that leader is sometimes a lonely place so I revert to my 20 minute writings.
I am learning to be more open to others about my feelings of lack, my feelings of not being good enough. That is hard all reverting back to the fear of being criticized, fear of rejection, fear of retribution. Interesting facts I have learned about myself. Showing me I have more work to do to walk through these fears.
After this writing I am more motivated to enhance my killer marketing plan, my killer business plan :) Love it!!!! I get so pumped after I write because of clarity --- the reason I do what I do becomes the driving force of my day. Love it!!!

Leverage...great word but what does it really mean?

I was thinking of the word leverage. Leverage is a great tool to use when you need something other than your personal strength to get something done. How would one use leverage in Real Estate? How did the leverage of the banks lead us to ruin? I looked up the word Leverage and the definition is as follows: to use for gain : exploit (definition: a notable or heroic act) shamelessly (definition: a painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety) leverage the system to their advantage — Alexander Wolff. By adding in the definitions of the not so common word, let's reword it to make sense for us normal people!

Leverage is use for gain, worthy of noting, leverage is used without consciousness of guilt or in accord with fact, truth or right procedure so they can take advantage of the system.

Rewriting it that way it sounds pretty underhanded. Is that how we interpret the word Leverage without even knowing it? Is that what keeps us stuck in the mundane cycle of our working careers? Is that what keeps us from learning the secrets of the Rich? Is that why we interpret or say "the rich will climb over anyone to get to the top", interesting for me. Now that could all be true but why is leverage so important to use?

I believe how I understand it now is to do that different from the "norm", different from solely being dependent on oneself. Why does that sound so contradicting? Sometimes you simply need assistance, agreed? Because one requires assistance does not mean they are weak, it does not mean they are not honest in their business dealings. Isn't that the core challenge we hear unconsciously with the reworded definition of leverage? Moving through life less than honest. We all strive to be honest people but don't we catch ourselves saying "he's not honest in his business dealings" or "it's business" ...like that makes doing business anyway different than doing right by/to other people. As T. Harv Ecker states in his "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind", our money blueprint is a critical clue into our current situation. How does your bank account look?

How impressive would it be to learn the honest art of leverage? In real estate investing you can do that. You learn the correct way to conduct a transaction, treat others with respect but you can leverage your knowledge to squeeze out greater income from one deal. How? by learning how to do it right, by learning to understand how assets pay you and by learning how to remove the emotion out of the deal. You are buying the numbers! Period! If it doesn't work for the other party that's fine. Move on. Let's look at it this way...if you had $1.00 and you went to buy a candy bar that cost $1.50. You have a choice, either come up with the other .50cents or ask the owner if he would sell you that candy bar for $1.00. Now not only you have a choice but the owner has a choice. The worse thing that they could say is "no". They are not saying no to you, they are saying no to those numbers. Make sense?

Now to leverage your retirement fund with real estate investing....simply buy property through your R.F. and put the proceeds back into your account. Watch it grow exponentially tax free!!!! That my friends is the correct use of Leverage!!! now it's time to put it into effect and get started.

Create yourself a wonderful day!

Enjoy the day!

I'm sitting in our backyard arbor enjoying the beautiful summer weather. I watch as cars go by busily going here and there. I reflect on my business and have learned to create a business that keeps working whether I am or not. I can sit outside and enjoy the knowing I am making money no matter what I choose to do. That my friends is Freedom to me. I took it upon myself to figure out how to create what I have. I educated myself on how to work smarter not harder ... which I did so often. You see I believed if I was busy, I was productive. NOT! Working to create a working system that works automatically, nothing is more powerful. I also educated myself on what to do with the money I generate. Do I hang onto old techniques? Do I hold onto old habits? Depend on other's knowledge believing they have the answer? Depend on others to really be concerned about my finances? NO....NO again and again! I educated myself with sharp instructors who walk their talk. Learned how they set up their business', learned how they understand Taxes, learned how they think, how they act to simply duplicate their results. AMAZING!!!!
