Conscious Millionaire

Greetings!

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!

Start creating success NOW! Consider attending one of our teleclasses.

To Your Success,

Let’s consider more completely just what Abundance is. It is the belief in possibility combined with the action of adding value – to your life, to others, and to the world. The new Conscious Millionaire approach for creating wealth and building lasting financial freedom is about adding value, literally expanding the value that we are adding to the world and others.

Living in Abundance is a choice that you make. It is the direct result of choosing to open yourself to more possibilities and then taking action in ways that creates more value to you – how? by first giving more value to others.

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.

To Your Wealth,

Greetings:

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.

Regards,

Greetings!

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?

To Your Success,

Phase 1 began in earnest this year and will end in the next few months. This is the phase in which the major initial collapse of credit and banks occurs - and the government responds to it. The major event in the market this phase is the initial bottom with the bear market rally. If you look at charts, as I do, then you will find that the initial bear market rally is usually the best one.

This is the time to choose to live in a resourceful state, not one of fear. The reason is when you go to fear, you constrict your energy and vision for what is possible, As a result, you miss seeing the real opportunities that abound all around you.

Ask yourself right now how many ways you can profit during this downturn? What will other people and businesses be needing - and wanting right now and over the next 6 months to 3 years?

Wealth Exercise:

1. make a list of the needs and wants (make these 2 lists - needs and wants) that people will have over the next 6 months to 3 years.

2. make a list of the needs and wants (make 2 lists - needs and wants) that people will have over the next 6 months to 3 years.

3. NOW list out all the ways that you personally or your business can meet those needs.

This is your beginning step for PROFITING IN BAD TIMES BY HELPING OTHERS GET THEIR NEEDS AND WANTS MET.

To Your Success!

Greetings and welcome!

I have been reading books, articles, and reviewing the market action, including the charts the past month. One of the reasons I work with people to achieve financial freedom through how they handle their finances and build their businesses is that this is my passion. I can stay up all night reviewing charts, taking in the information and developing a view of what is occurring.

I have divided this into 3 Phases. We are now in the first phase.

PHASE 1 = bank/credit crunch with government response. Early stage of bear market.

PHASE 2 = global recession/down turn that may last 2-3 years. It will be shorter than it could have been if the world governments had not acted in the past few weeks. At the same time, I expect it will still be deep and prolonged. US unemployment should reach 8-9% by spring 2009 and I still believe that housing has 10-20% more on the downside in many places.

We will go through many more foreclosures, business failures, and credit collapses, especially of individual credit situations as the majority of people are over-extended and new credit will be harder to obtain as this downturn progresses.

PHASE 3 = recovery. As this is the longest projection, it is the one most subject to revision depending on how Phase 2 unfolds. Currently I believe we will be in recovery starting 2-4 years out.

What can you do?

How should you respond?

I have decided to devote the next series of blog entries to providing you with ways to approach your small business, personal finances and maintain the right mental/emotional framework. This is important because instead of going into a place of fear, which is NOT resourceful, you go into a place where you SEE the MANY OPPORTUNITIES that will ABOUND in this environment.

Many NEW millionaires result from the opportunities that are already all around YOU.

For now, consider the three phases and start to make a list of what the NEEDS and WANTS other people will be as this downturn unfolds. That, my friend, is your starting secret for turning hard times into millionaire success - and helping others get what they need in the process!

In my next Blog, I will tell you more about PHASE 1.

To Your Success,

Take out your check book and write yourself a check in the amount of $1,000,000.00 - One Million Dollars.

How does that feel?

Now Date it for a date and time in the future when you want to be able to cash it - as money you have earned for doing something specific. Maybe it is owning your own business, or being a Super Sales Person, or using your talents in a specific way.

On the check write the date and on the line below the amount, the memo line, write down the reason you are getting paid this much - what you did to get this.

Put it in your wallet - every day ask yourself what you will do today so that you can be certain to cash that check on the date you chose.

Yeah - you just planted a seed that can grow into a Million Dollars. You just made a shift in your Wealth Consciousness.

I was in Brazil in June - only to come back and within 4 weeks to have had thousands of dollars missing from my checking account.

How? I used my ATM card - and here's the crime angle. And, by the way, this happens in the USA as well. Crime rings add a second attachment, about 1 inch deep, that goes in front of the area on the ATM machine that you use to slide your card into it - then they add an extra camera to record your PIN #s as you punch them in.

Then they reproduce the card and go around to ATM's making withdrawals until the Bank - or YOU, catch on and then have the bank account frozen.

When you use your ATM, look at the machine carefully for any protruding part where you put your card in - notice if it looks like one piece of like there is an added part to it. Being aware of what can happen and then being careful any time you use your ATM is the best step in stopping Fraud.

My Bank replaced the money - but I went through a lot of hassles’ in the process.

Awareness if the first of three parts of the Conscious Success Formula. Awareness of what? The simple answer is always the same, "Awareness of what is TRUE". It is easy to instead start off when what you think "should" be happening, of what you think is missing, or all kinds of advice about what to be doing.

The best place to start in creating ANY type of success, and this is certainly true with Financial Freedom is with becoming aware of what is true.

What is true about how much money you make?

What is true about what you can afford to spend each month?

What is true about how much you are saving and investing for the future?

What is true about your real priorities and therefore how you prioritize your spending - daily, weekly, monthly, annually?

What is true about what you really need, and must have?

What is true about what you want and could do without?

What is true about how you deal with money? Do you save and not spend or on the other end of the continuum, do you just impulse spend on whatever you want, whenever the mood hits you?

What is true about your relationship with money - is it how you sooth your emotional ups and downs? Are you honest with yourself about how much money you have in your bank account?

What is true about how you and your family talk about money? Is it like a secret or do you openly discuss how much money you have and make joint decisions about how you spend it?

Starting with awareness of what is true is the ONLY way to make solid sound finanical decisions, and without those, you can not find your way to Financial Freedom.

AWARENESS is the real starting point for any type of success and is the first part of the Conscious Success Formula.

Here’s to YOUR Wealth!

As with all of life, the real first step to any level of success is AWARENESS. Until you become aware of who you are, what you want, and how you can best achieve it, you can't make any true progress your in life.

One of the most important things I do every day is cultivate greater awareness by doing 30 minutes of a combined mediation and visualization. I mediate by focusing on my breath and when I notice a thought, I just label it as a "thought" and come back to my breath. My mind opens and I become more present. In fact, I first started to mediate over nine years ago. I consider it to be one of the most important tools for opening your mind so that you can actually get out the clutter and start to notice the real millionaire opportunities that are all around you.

This helps me become more aware of what I am wanting and the options for how I can get it in life. It literally helps me create the space in my mind for new wealth ideas to enter. I have all of my one-on-one coaching clients mediate daily - and as a result, instead of just reacting to what they find in their life, they have greater control and focus for getting what they are wanting.

I'll tell you more about my visualizations this weekend. They are how I end my 30 minutes, visualizing my goals and what I want to create with my life.

If you want success, you can't afford the cost of playing the victim game.

The Victim Game is about blaming - that is the way that you know that you are playing it.

My boss doesn't treat me right
I can't get a raise, I'm stuck in this job
The Credit Card companies kept sending me more cards, so I spent more
I can't get ahead, my bills are too much
I was late because something unexpected came up

Victim is about blaming and not taking control over your life. It's the game of not winning

If you want to be free financially, if you want to start living the life of greater abundance, then the Game you want to play is called Success. It is played with a whole different set of rules and beliefs.

Here are the SUCCESS RULES:

1. YOU CAN BE, DO, HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE, PROVIDED:
2. YOU WILL NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS, AND
3. YOU ARE PREPARED TO HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE FOR ACHIEVING IT.

It's not about blame. Stuff happens you don't like. That will always be true. How you respond to it depends on whether you are playing a losing game of victim or an empowered game of Success.

YOU GET TO CHOOSE.

Want to stop sabotaging your life and putting up with what you don't want, then make a new decision. Yes, it is that simple - and that hard.

Hard because you actually think that this may not be possible. I can just hear some people saying "but you don't understand". Yes I do. I've been there - the world of victim and blame. Most people have - so you aren't different.

What makes a difference is making a new decision. Make a Decision, right NOW, in the next 10 seconds. How do you want to live the rest of your life?

victim or EMPOWERED FOR SUCCESS?

Hello and Welcome!

Today begins a new series of blog entries on How YOU Can Achieve Financial Freedom.

I am 52, a self-made millionaire, and have been Financially Free - have had Financial Independence for over 10 years. I have been a millionaire since my 20s. If you are determined to get ahead, you too can achieve financial freedom. I am here to help you.

Unlike many people who tell you there is some simple magic pill, I want you to know upfront, that if you are head over hills in debt, if you don't have good money habits, if you spend more than you make - and most people fall into these categories - that you got what you chose. NOW, you can choose a new path, the path to total financial wealth and freedom.

It will take work, energy, and a desire to live differently. You will need to make changes in your mindset, and in your habits. Yet, if you want it, you can get it. Any situation can be changed. I'm here to help you with straightforward, practical ways to reach your financial goals.

Now I am building a new program to help anyone achieve their own financial freedom. I will be doing regular blog entries that give you tools and strategies, the real secrets and insights, concrete practical ways to move out of debt, build your nest egg, and move into long lasting financial freedom.

As I blog on the strategies that I use, and that I teach my clients, I invite your comments.

If there are any areas that you want to hear more about, let me know.

Today, enjoy time with your friends and family. Next week, I will begin providing entries that will help you Achieve Financial Freedom.

We've all heard of the 80% factor - that 20% of your people create 80% of the results. Well, if you want to create Financial Freedom, you have to apply the 80% factor differently.

I was in the book store the other day in the business book section. I was talking to a guy about what I do and told him I teach people how to become financially free. He wanted to know how.

It's easy, I told him it's just that most people don't do the basics - they aren't consistent in their discipline so create they don't create any freedom.

The 80% factor - take no more than 80% of what you make, after taxes, and live on it. Then take 20% and put it into a diversified portfolio (this spreads your risk and any financial advisor can offer you many options) - and this is the magic:

Put it in regularly - then leave it alone, in up and down markets. Over 10, 20, 30 years this will make you financially free. So, if it's that simple why aren't most people financially free.

They don't do this.

To Your Success!

A lot of people get stuck in life. I've been thinking about that this afternoon. This happens for a number of reasons, but the main one is where my Conscious Success Formula begins, and that is with becoming more Aware of what is True right NOW. It is hard to make any real progress in life until you stop playing the inner game of avoiding what is true - of being aware of what is actually occurring.

This is true whether it be a behavior pattern. I usually coach people about money, but as I'm in the final stages of loosing a lot of weight and really getting in great shape, I'll use myself as an example (and if you are wanting to loose weight, heads up and pay attention!).

On November 10th, 2007, just last fall, I was 270 pounds. Today I weighed in at 203 and by the end of August 31, 2008, just next month, I will be at 185. How do I know - drive, plan, strategy, discipline - and all of that begins with being aware of what is true.

Here is what I mean in practical ways. I had to stop kidding myself that eating 4,000 to 5,000 calories a day was going to work if I wanted to be in shape. Then I become aware of the fact that I have some natural food addictions (most people do) - in my case they are to sugars and white flour (very common, actually), Another awareness came from reading a couple of books, both of which I recommend to many people: Bruce Lipton's "The Biology of Belief" and John Robbin's "Healthy at 100".

These two books made me aware that it is possible to live past 100 and what is necessary to do that. Once I had that information, I started thinking - do I want to die in my 60's or 70's from being overweight and eating unhealthy foods (sugar, white flour, fried foods, fats etc - and LOTS of it) or did I want to make a LIFESTYLE CHANGE?

Once I was consciously aware of my situation - and my options - that I had made a choice to be overweight and now I could make a choice to be in great shape and healthy, I looked in the mirror and got honest with myself. I was going to die early from being overweight or I could make a decision and choose another path. I decided to change my eating and exercise patterns and create a life long approach that would make me both healthy and fit, yep, for life!

Notice that every bit of this comes from being aware - the first step in the Conscious Success Formula (more on this in future blogs). The FIRST STEP to moving ahead is becoming aware of what is true in your current situation. This blog I used my own loosing weight as an example.

Next week I'll apply this to how you use Conscious Awareness to rapidly move yourself forward financially. I wanted to share about loosing weight because I know that many other people have this same problem.

If you have any comments about this, you are welcome to add them.

Best to YOU!

This is the beginning of the month and I suggest taking time every month to get focused. I decided to share how I do this - I set up a clear vision of the 3 goals I want to accomplish this months. I've found that 3 goals are what I can personally focus on and be highly successful.

The 3 words I wrote on my white board next to me is how I will stay on track:

DISCIPLINE
CONSISTENCY
FOCUS

Think about how you will stay on track. I also work with my own coach which is why I know it adds value to have someone to help you strategize and stay accountable.

My 3 focus goals for the month:

BOOK - I am in the final rewrite of my book and staying on track, writing each day, having specific goals for what I will write and accomplish keeps me moving forward toward my goal of it being in the next round of editing.

BODY - to reach my 185 - I was at 270 on Nov 10th - so this has been a journey that has changed my vitality, health, energy - it's made a strong difference in my confidence and how I see my life.

BUSINESS - I am now accepting applicants to work with me one on one and am networking, setting up speaking, blogging, doing articles, ezine, and other activates to build my business.

Without PRIORITIES, you have no idea of how to plan your day, what actions will yield the best results, which ones will take you in the direction that is right for your life and business.

What are YOUR 3 PRIORITIES FOR THIS MONTH?

If you don't yet have priorities for this month - sit down right now and get clear on the 3 TOP PRIORITIES for your month - then consider what you want to accomplish in the final quarter of this year and begin to create a bigger plan for how you will achieve them through Discipline, Consistency, Focus.

To Your Success!

Most people look out and see difficulties - it's what they focus on all day long. Perhaps you have even noticed yourself doing this at times. It's something that will drag you down and destroy your positive energy.

The truth is - there are endless possibilities for what you can do at any time.

There are also endless possibilities for what can be occurring all around you in your environment at any time.

There are also endless possibilities for ways you can interact with others at any time.

There are also endless possibilities for what you can be thinking at any time – after all, YOU do choose what your thinking.

And, very one of these possibilities, can be an Opportunity for YOU!

I've been working on my book, which is a practical approach to creating Conscious Millionaire Wealth. Think of it as a guide. While it's important that you have the right motivation, skills, strategies, the most important part of creating high levels of success and wealth - the real "Secret" that apparently most people never focus on is maybe the simplest.

Know what YOU WANT - clarify matters most to you. In a phrase, cultivate self-interest in your own life.

When I'm at networking events where there are sometimes 100's of business people, I routinely ask people "where do you want to be in 5 years". I'd say 80% have no ready answer, many clearly do not know. Surprisingly, many have no real plan for their life.

While I believe in taking a path that feels right to you - absolutely - if you have no idea where that path is going, what you really WANT, how can you have any commitment to an outcome - I mean, you don't even know what it is.

Right now, take out a paper and pen - write out a list of what you want. I don't care about the time frame at this juncture - just right all weekend, add whatever comes into your mind, what YOU WANT. It is your life and until you know what you want, you really aren't headed any where in particular.

The real secret to creating any type of success or wealth is to get completely clear about what YOU WANT.

To Your Success!

Week 1 "Financial Independence" Category
Topic: ….. FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE – STARTING OUT

What does it mean to become Financially Independent, have Financial Freedom? And how is this related to becoming a millionaire? Can I do this? Absolutely – if you have a system and follow it.

Financial Independence (financial freedom) is being able to live the lifestyle of your choice without actively engaging in work. The way to accomplish this is to create enough passive income to pay for your lifestyle. I’ll discuss options for doing this in future blog entries – as well as my 3 stages of financial independence and how YOU can do this!

Financial Millionaire – is having a net worth of one million dollars or more. That is the total value of your assets (cash, investments, including retirement funds, home and personal goods) MINUS your debts (lines of credit, credit cards, mortgages etc).

Depending on the lifestyle you want (and at which of the 3 stages of financial independence you are at) you may or may not need to be a millionaire to be financially free. At the same time – you can be worth a million dollars and not have it invested in a way that gives you financial independence (the ability to live without having to work!)

Where are you at on Your road to financial independence and millionaire wealth?

Here’s to Your Wealth, Success & Fulfillment!

I look forward to reading Your comments….
