Then you need to focus on both first time and
every time impressions. READ ON...
First impressions are a one time event. People
immediately make decisions about you and these
decisions will impact whether they want to buy
from you.
I know, most people getting this email will say
but I'm not a sales person. Think again. You are
always selling. We all are.
We are selling ourselves and how you come across
will determine how people think and feel about you.
Here are three things you can do - not just on the
first impression, but on every impression, to create
a million-dollar impression on others.
1. how you dress matters, even going to the store.
People make decisions about you by how you
present yourself. Is your hair combed? Are your
clothes neat and clean? Did you take the time to
present yourself as a winner?
2. Take interest in them. Ask them questions
about their life, their business, their day. Then
listen and pay attention. People rate others more
positive when they care about them. Don't you?
3. Have a firm yet warm handshake. Think about
what someone touching you in a handshake tells
you about them. Others think the same way as
you. How do you like your hand shaken? Others
are probably seeking the same thing.
You are always selling YOU. And, if you want
to achieve millionaire success, remember that
people do business with people they like.
How you come across will have a great deal to
do with whether they like you - and want to do
business with you.

Whether you own a business now or want to start one, here are three secrets for managing your business:
1. Always hire people who are aligned with your values and the vision that you have for the difference your business will make
2. Focus on your customer – this is the most important factor in becoming successful
3. Next, take care of your employees – without them you won’t make your profits.
4. Keep your eye on the finances – create a quick set of #s that you look at every day, these are the ones that tell you the vitality of your business (for example: # of sales closes, # of new contacts, revenue/profit for the day)
5. Establish high expectations and goals for your company, yourself, and your employees – involve your employees in creating these expectations so that they buy in and own them as their responsibility

Whenever two or more thoughts, actions, or events come together in a different way, a new possibility is born. Because this is true, there is absolutely no limit to the possible ways in which you can have more success, wealth, happiness, whatever it is YOU desire in life.
If YOU are not getting everything you want, right now, today, there can be only three reasons:
1. YOU are not conscious of who you really are;
2. YOU are not conscious of what you desire in life; or
3. YOU are not conscious of how to best achieve what is possible for you.
When you become conscious of your values, the difference you want to make, what you deeply desire in life, you are able to make better decisions about your life. Then by using the Formula for Total Success, you can learn how to turn your opportunities into results!

I made far more money by cashing in and selling our family's companies than from the year to year running of them. And, it positions you in a cash position to act on new opportunities, ones that leverage you to new financial heights.
Here it is in simple terms. You sell your business for some multiple of your current annual cash flows. If you have considerable land and hard assets, that can add to the equation. In my case, I kept the land, leased it to the buyers, then when it appreciated further, sold it to cash in even bigger.
When you start looking at your business as an asset that you are building not to continue owning, but to sell, you approach your business completely differently. You start to care about what matters in terms of maximizing your selling price. These are your customer lists, the speed with which you are growing your cash flows, the untapped, or only partially tapped opportunities (which you may not be in the position to tap - but which a buyer, with other resources, may be and will give them reasons to pay you even MORE for your business!).
You also can benefit when selling the business by getting more for your companies (because you are conscious that they exist and bargain for part of the savings they buyer will get) for the savings the buyer will have in terms of synergies and leverage due to size. These include purchasing power to buy supplies and services for less than you are having to pay as a smaller business.

This is what commerce is actually all about – reciprocity and the mutually beneficial exchange of value. You create abundance by developing and selling the products and services that add value to your customer’s lives. When you make a profit using these Conscious Millionaire principles, you are profiting, quite literally by profiting others!
Just take a moment to think about this: when you create an idea that results in a new product or service, or perhaps a new way to market, the idea itself starts a process that creates more wealth in the world.
By becoming a Conscious Millionaire, you aren’t taking something from someone (which would be the scarcity view of financial success), you are adding value to them and at the same time adding value to yourself.

We live in a country with amazing possibilities for success, yet many people struggle just to have enough money for basic living expenses. Likewise, many people fail to attain the level of happiness and fulfillment they want—and can easily have.
What causes this?
It’s not a lack of raw talent or an ability to learn new skills. Nor is it actually a lack of education—after all, many current millionaires didn’t even finish college.
I think the answer is clear.
Until you know what success means for you, and how you personally define it, you can’t know which goals are right for you, or even if you are headed in the right direction.
The simple truth is millionaires know what they want—while the impoverished and even the middle class often never clearly define it. As a result, they fail to live and achieve success at their highest levels.
HOW DO YOU DEFINE SUCCESS – ON PERSONAL, FINANCIAL, RELATIONSHIP AREAS OF YOUR LIFE?

I am visiting my father who is 88, has Parkinson’s, and continues to decline in various ways.
My goal is to support him during this chapter of his life which is why I moved back to Florida. I wanted to be with him during this time.
Richness is certainly about financial wealth, which is why I teach the principles that I used to become a millionaire in my 20s.
However, Richness that is only about money, lacks depth, as does a life without quality relationships and vitality. Loving and being loved, sharing precious moments with friends and family – this is what being free is really about. It is having the time and resources to just “be” with people you love.
And, that doesn’t cost money – it is, instead, an investment of your time, your energy, your consciousness in sharing a present moment with those whom you love.
Share time today with your friends and family – enjoy the journey you are on right now and all that it brings you. Connect in ways that let others know how much you care for them. Then, let their love in as well.

We are at a major shifting point in history.
We are at a pivotal moment in our evolution as humans.
Now is the time for a shift in consciousness, both in our individual lives and in our society.
It is time for a shift that will bring you total success in all areas of your life—personal, financial, and relationship.
It’s time to move from a way of creating wealth that is based in scarcity and greed, to an approach to wealth based in abundance, living with purpose, and making a positive difference.
Abundance is a state of mind, a set of beliefs that in every situation there is always opportunity.
What opportunities are there for your business today?
What opportunities are there in your life today?
What opportunities are there in your relationships today?
CHOOSE ONE – ACT ON IT!

You may have experienced a time—and perhaps that time is right now—when you have felt drawn and quartered by all the demands in your life. In these moments, it is easy to feel like you are on a nonstop treadmill going nowhere!
Stop right now and consider these questions:
How can you become happy if you don’t consciously choose to do things that make you happy?
How can you become fulfilled if you don’t consciously choose a life and vocation that fulfill you?
How can you achieve a sense of inner purpose if you don’t consciously choose to make a difference?
My point is simple.
No matter how much money you make, unless you consciously choose to do what makes you happy, fulfilled and gives you as sense of purpose, you will only have the money.
And, while money can provide you with many options, without the other parts of success you will just end up feeling empty. Aren’t you honestly seeking more?
Conscious Millionaire is a path for creating millionaire success in a way that fulfills you and makes a positive difference to others. How much happier will you be when YOU know how to make money by doing what you enjoy and helping others?

Whether you want to become a millionaire, create greater happiness, build better relationships, support social causes, or move ahead in any area of your life.
How?
By becoming aware of what is true, developing insights as to your real opportunities, and taking responsibility for turning opportunity into results.
Now is the time for a major change—a shift in consciousness.
The old view of being a millionaire was only about making money.
While money is still a major element in what millionaire wealth means, we’re beginning to realize that money alone can’t give you total success or lasting happiness.

There are three levels to YOUR success:
1. Internal—any success that occurs inside of you—such as feeling happier or more fulfilled, having a sense of connection to your core being, and intuitively knowing when and what to do.
2. External—any success that occurs outside of you—such as money and the things it can buy, promotions, awards, and external accomplishments.
3. Relational—any success that occurs between you and anything external to you—such as relationships with people, animals, our planet.
All three dimensions are interrelated. Therefore, increasing your success in one dimension of your life positively affects all of the others.
For instance, if you increase your physical fitness or have more harmonious relationships, you’ll naturally have more positive energy to achieve more in business and make more money.
Having strong financial success frees your energy from worries about paying for life, so you have more energy to just enjoy it!

The irony is that when we pursue money at any cost, we make a series of sacrifices. One of these sacrifices can actually include making less money, not more.
Why?
When the only basis for our decisions is short-term financial gain, we often throw out our values and lose a sense of what matters most in life.
Instead of living with a sense of purpose and doing what we love, we focus on greed at the price of becoming out of sync with who we are, deep down inside.
Many people confuse greed with the amount of money one makes. The fact is someone could make 50 million a year and not be greedy, while someone else could make 50 thousand and be acting with greed.
The reason is simple.
Greed has nothing to do with the amount of money you make—it only relates to how you make it. Greed occurs whenever you make money in ways that are not in the overall best interests of yourself, others, and the world.
Getting Rich doesn’t make you “greedy” – Greed is acting against the best interest of yourself, others and the world. It has nothing to do with whether you become rich. The issue, my friend, is HOW you make your money, not how financially wealthy you become.

The Formula for Total Success is the ultimate formula for creating any type of success – personal, financial, or in your relationships.
Whether you want to create millionaire success, lose weight, become happier, build a better relationship, or make your difference in the world, this formula will help you achieve it!
You can use this formula to create any time or level of success or wealth that you want.
Here is the foundation of the three part formula:
1. AWARENESS of what is true – for you, others, the world. What are the facts, what is occurring, right here, right now?
2. INSIGHTS into the opportunities that exist for you, others, and the world. The more you connect the dots and see what is occurring, the easier it is to notice the real opportunities.
3. REPSPONSIBILITY for turning opportunity into results that help you, others and the world. Responsibility is twofold – sometimes you just need to “be” with a situation and consider matters longer. At other times, now is when you should take action.
You can apply the Formula for Total Success to achieve success in your business, finances, personal and relationship life starting today. It all starts with choosing becoming consciously aware.
