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

Financial Health..how fit are you?

Financial Freedom is what I hear most people say when they tell me why they want to learn Real Estate Investing. They understand the power of leverage through Real Estate, however, financial freedom is a vague statement.

Let's take it a bit deeper. Those who tell me I am looking for Financial freedom are really looking for more time to do what they "want" to do. They want the choice of their schedule. They want more time with family. These are all good and fine but still we must dig a little deeper. Get to the core issue of what we must learn and do to obtain this goal.

Interesting! I am all about Fitness. I work out and I strive to learn how to eat healthy. My basic physical make up is a high fat content which I have dealt with all my life. In fact, I have my fat percentage checked regularly something most people don't even know what % they have. I do, and have been labeled in the "obese" category all my life. If one looked at me, that wouldn't make sense but I swear based on the charts I am borderline ALWAYS in the obese category. Is that frustrating? YES!

I am doing a body "rehab" to get my body fat % under control. I know it is healthier for me to get it lowered. I continue learning how to maintain it through healthy eating. I learn more and can handle it better each time I focus on the goal of getting it lowered. Is it easy, not really. Is it simple YES.

Those who know me, know I use analogies in everything and financial health and physical health compare nicely. Here's what I have found.

I have been financially obese most of my life. My debts were out of hand. On paper, our debts didn't look so bad but come every month our checkbook took a beating. We usually had more month left over money.

I began my financial rehab 2 1/2 years ago. Doug and I wrote down every penny we spent and on what. We learned where we spent our money. Once we knew where our priorities were, we could split up our monies in different categories. Yes we have a "play" account. As T. Harv Ecker states in his book, "Secrets of a Millionaire Mind" a play account is to be spent every month. It's not fair to "save" up for something big. That something big is your "future vacation" fund or "Future whatever" account.

You spend your play money on quality not quantity. For example, If you had $100 dollars to spend. You would spend it on an expensive dinner vs buying 100 dollar items at the dollar store.

There is a game plan just like a diet plan to achieve your goals of financial health. Stay tuned...more to come in following posts

Create yourself a great day!
