Applying The Law Of Attraction Will Change Your Life

For those of us that have studied and live the principles of The Secret, we understand that like attracts like. This means as you think a thought, you attract it to you. Thoughts actually become the things in your life. Our thoughts actually become things!

Bob Proctor is quoted as saying "If you see it in your mind, you're going to hold it in your hand". Those that understand this secret, and apply this knowledge purposely, can change everything in their lives. You actually become what you think about most, and you also attract what you think about most.

Individuals must understand that wherever they are in their life right now, it is a result of their past thoughts....in many cases, their very best thinking. To make changes towards what a person does want, requires the individual to "change" their thinking...to think about what you want in your mind so much that it becomes your dominant thought.....then take the actions required and you manifest it in your life. Nothing will change until we change our thinking, and that is why many people stay stuck in their lives, because they never step out of the current level of thinking they have.

The challenge most people have is they spend most of their time thinking about what they don't want and living in the so called "reality" that most of society has bought into. The law of attraction is obedient, you always get what you focus on....you must learn to listen to your thoughts and words you use. There are no exceptions with this.

It is helpful to be aware of who you surround yourself with to accelerate the results of applying the law of attraction in your life. If you are surrounded with negative, skeptical people, chances are, you too will buy into this way of thinking, and you will be negative, skeptical and things just seem to keep going wrong for you. If however, you surround yourself with positive, like minded, enthusiastic people that are passionate about personal development and the teachings in The Secret, chances are wonderful things start to manifest in your life. If you are looking for people like this, here is a great place to find them http://www.BeHome.ca

With so many people learning about and studying the law of attraction and The Secret, it is a time in history when a shift is taking place and those of us that embrace this and share our knowledge with others about this thought movement have an opportunity to make significant positive change in our own lives,and in the lives of the people we come in contact with around the world.

It feels magnificent to a part of something so great that changes people lives in such a positive way!

Wealth Building Strategy - Business Ownership

I have referred to T Harv Eker before....he has so many great success strategies that everyone should have the opportunity to learn from. I have his"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" cards on my desk, which are quick daily "thoughts" based on his international bestselling book of the same name. The insights are fabulous....they are designed to show you how to think and act like wealthy people do, and get rid of the conditioning and past beliefs we have all grown up with about money. I pull one out of the deck each morning and reflect on the message....

Here is the message I got today - "Start a business full or part-time, work on commission, get a percentage of revenue or company profits, or get stock options. The vast majority of millionaires became rich by being in their own business."

This is so true! Business owners take control of their lives, they control their incomes, they control their time, and their results. Employees on the other hand, are victims of "circumstance" - downsizing, low pay, not enough holidays, no chance of advancement or promotion, etc. Business owners understand they can work for someone else and build their dream, or they can take a stand, make a bold move, become a business owner and start building their own dreams. Again, as I often say in my posts here, it is all a choice. We can all be victims of employers decisions or we can be victors in our own businesses. Bottom line, you will NEVER get rich working for someone else! I am so grateful that I have been a business owner for the past 22+ years, and now have the pleasure of teaching other people how to start their own businesses and create the type of wealth and freedom I enjoy, AND, how to do that working from their own backyards!

Harv Eker has an excellent program that I highly recommend to anyone that wants to shed their limiting beliefs about money....it is a 3 day intensive weekend that is done worldwide to assist people in getting their heads straight about creating wealth in their lives. Check it out on google....it's called the Millionaire Mind Intensive.

Applying The Secret Through Business

If you have read the book or viewed the movie, you realize that The Secret has been transforming lives all around the world for several years now. Many talk show hosts have done segments on The Secret - Oprah, Ellen DeGeneres, Larry King....the strategies and success principles taught are fascinating to people, and for the first time for many people, these teachings have been the start of creating many new possibilities in their lives.

People are learning that their old way of thinking is not working any longer, and many are realizing that there is a better way and are searching for new possibilities in their lives. Old fears, past conditioning and limiting beliefs are being replaced by more positive, focused thinking to bring about better results.

This has been wonderful for people! Society is starting to see the connection between their thinking and their results and that by changing their thinking and their actions, that they can attract what they really want in their lives.

It is interesting how things work and all fit together in our lives. About 5-6 years ago a dear friend of mine gave me a book for Christmas "The Law of Attraction" by Michael Losier. (at the time I had never heard of this) I read it right away and found it very interesting and then about 6 months later, I had the opportunity to hear Michael speak. The whole concept of the Law of Attraction was playing on my brain, and I was starting to ask myself different questions, and began questioning what I really wanted in my life.

About a year later I was looking for a new business ...... I didn't quite know what I wanted, but had identified all the things I didn't want..... and the business I found was based around the teachings of The Secret and the Law of Attraction... http://www.BeHome.ca ..and look how the universe works......Michael Losier and Bob Proctor were people that spoke at our company events and do a lot of teaching in our company. There are no accidents in life.....we attract to us what we think about. When people really understand this and start deliberately taking actions that support their goals, they start living a life by design.

Big Thinking & Big Actions = Big Results

I love this quote from T Harv Eker: "Small Thinking and Small Actions Lead to Being Both Broke and Unfulfilled. Big Thinking and Big Actions Lead To Having Both Money and Meaning. The Choice Is Yours".

If we are authentic with ourselves I am sure we can all think of a time that we can relate to in our own lives where we have thought small and took small actions, and where we have thought big and taken big actions. Until about four years ago I was definitely in the "small thinking and small actions" category....I had a business that was failing, I thought the only way to survive was in that one business and by working "harder". I was afraid to make a move and do something different....what if I failed, what if I lost my material possessions, what if......there was literally dozens of "what ifs". Actually, I was afraid to even admit to myself that I didn't like what I was doing! I realized I was surrounded by people that thought like I did. Most of us have been raised to go to school, work hard....if times get tough, work harder....and to fear all these "what if's".

Ask yourself this question - Am I being totally authentic with myself, with what I truly want, and with what I absolutely don't want in my life? Tough question for most people to answer. I avoided even thinking about this question for years. And, I was stuck in the "small thinking and small actions" category.

I realized that I hadn't admitted that to myself because if I had of been absolutely honest and authentic with myself, that would mean I would have to make a change....and change is not a comfortable spot for most of us to be in. It means we have to do something different, perhaps step out of our comfort zone, take a risk, do something we have never done. That is why most people walk around in a fog, play it safe and wonder why they are broke and unfulfilled.

Thank goodness I woke up from that fog! I admitted to myself that what I was doing for a living was not working any longer, and that it was unfulfilling and I needed a change. Because I was able to get authentic with myself (for the first time in my life) it was like a sense of freedom. When you are backed into a corner and you can't go anywhere else, THAT is when wonderful things can happen.

Because of that experience, I found a new sense of determination, I let go of the fear that had been holding me back for years, I learned that playing small in life had only led me to being broke and unfulfilled. I learned that it was time to decide what I really wanted, and then take the action that would lead me to that goal - even when it was uncomfortable, even when I was afraid, even when I didn't know what to do. I learned to take a risk on MYSELF and trust in my decisions, my actions and my belief in what I was capable of....wow, THAT was a new concept.

I learned, actually I simply ALLOWED myself to think big, ALLOWED myself to think of all the possibilities in my life, starting taking different actions than I had ever taken, surrounded myself with people that had the results I wanted and followed their lead.

This process has been life changing for me! Because of that corner I was backed into, and the willingness to start thinking big and taking BIG actions, I now have the life I once dreamed of. Working part time hours from my lawnchair by the pool, spending every day with the people I love most, travelling the world several times a year, retired my husband at age 45 (not 65), having the financial freedom to live life the way we want.... Of course the money part is great, but money is simply a tool to let you live the life you truly want.....a life of meaning, doing the things that are important to you, with the people that are important to you, rather than running around working 50, 60, 80 hours a week, to pay the bills to live in the house with the people you love that you never get to SEE because you are working so much!

As Harv says "the choice is yours!" I am so grateful I woke up from that fog and made conscious choices to create the life I now live.

Qualities Of An Entrepreneur

Transitioning from being an Employee to becoming an Entrepreneur can be a bit of a learning curve. There are specific things you can do to make this transition smooth and prosper as an entrepreneur....

-Start thinking bigger - entrepreneurs are big thinkers and don't limit their potential
-Learn from an experienced mentor - entrepreneurs are independent, however, they learn from people that can mentor them and accelerate their success (this can be a business coach, a speaker at a seminar, books, audios, etc from successful people) and also from other business owners in their field of business that can network and mastermind ideas with
-Understand that ANY business will require start up and running capital. Business owners do not take this capital out of their own pocket or "save up" until they can start a business. They understand leverage and find ways to finance their expenses to get off the ground, and to put them into a position to profit.
-Take advantage of all income streams available in the business....i.e. a fast food restaurant franchise - if you were buying one of these franchises, you would want to profit from the hamburgers, the fries, the milk shakes, the apple pie, and and other producs offered. You would also understand the value of having a drive-thru. Someone buying a franchise like this would not limit themselves to just selling hamburgs and fries and send them down the street to another fast food spot to buy the milkshake and dessert. And, they would also understand the value of a drive-thru and treat it as another way to generate sales. If you are getting in the game of being a business owner, GET IN THE GAME! Don't stand on the sideline and "wait" until you have saved enough money to put all the pieces in place. Ask yourself "What do other top successful business owners in this particular business do" and then just duplicate that exactly. For instance if all the fast food spots have a drive-thru, and this is something that is important for the success of this type of business, then YOU should also have a drive thru...it is not about whether you can "afford" a drive thru or not - If that is your thinking, you are definitelly thinking like an employee. It's time to make that transition to thinking like a business owner.
-Learn as much as you can possibly learn on an ongoing basis about your industry. Knowledge is power.
-Know who your target market is and direct your marketing efforts towards that specific group. There are so many basic, cost effective things you can do....
-Do something you are passionate about! When I started my business back in Feb/05, I had been an entrepreneur for 18 years prior.....I knew I did not want to work for someone else....I also knew all the types of businesses that I was not interested in. I couldn't define exactly what business I wanted to start, but, I knew all the things that were important to me....so I made a list of what I was looking for:

-I wanted to have a home based business
-I wanted a business that was portable, so I could travel for 3-6 months at a time if I wanted, and still be able to run my business from anywhere in the world - preferably from a lawn chair by a pool, or on the beach
-I wanted time leverage so I could reduce the number of hours I was working
-I wanted to set my own hours and work when I decided to work
-I wanted to take as much time off to spend with my family as I choose
-I wanted to work with like minded people
-I wanted to find a business that was of great interest to me.....I only wanted something I could get excited about in terms of what it offered people
-I wanted something extremely lucrative so that I could retire my husband and we could start living a life of total freedom

When you first make the list for yourself, sometimes it can seem daunting and you may wonder if what you are looking for even exists? When I made this defined list, these were the things that were important for me to find in a business, even though I didn't know what that business would be. But, because I was crystal clear on WHAT I wanted, when it came along, I knew I had found the perfect match! There was no "thinking or deciding" required to make my decision. I found the business that met all of this criteria and the decision was then very simple.

Being in total control of your future is what being an entrepreneur is all about. People never get that luxury by being an employee. If you are willing to get clear on what you truly want in your life, and then are willing to do what other successful entrepreneurs do, you will develop a life for yourself that people dream about. A life that employees think is just for a select few. But here is the key - YOU can be part of that select few - you simply have to stop thinking like an employee and start thinking like an entrepreneur and take the actions we take.

Utilize This New Economy

It's time to wake up, stop living in fear and realize that what is happening in the economy right now is one of the greatest opportunities in our lifetime!

Some people are choosing to resist change and resist what is happening around us in the global economy. Yes, companies are downsizing, jobs are being lost and people are panicking. Much of this panic is being fed by the fear promoters in the media! What are some constructive steps you can take right now to become one of the people that not only survives these next couple of years, but actually creates financial freedom for themselves?

-Stop reading the paper and listening to the news....make a bold decision to create your OWN economy
-Find the opportunities in the "problems" - some people only see problems....Stop "resisting" the economy.....successful people see the problem and invent an opportunity .... they "utilize" what is happening in a positive way
-Use your intelligence and don't let emotions rule your intellect
-Think long term.....successful people ALWAYS think long term.
-Gain knowledge - learn, read, go to seminars....add to your skills
-Learn to trust yourself....don't be swayed by your broke co-workers and friends - know that you can always find or create a way. With self trust you will gain confidence.
-Be one of the people that is willing to do what it takes - Most people are NOT willing to do what it takes - they say they are, but they make excuses....if you are 100% willing to do WHATEVER it takes to reach your goal, you will put yourself in the top % of people that absolutely creates massive success during these next couple of years
-Build passive streams of income....real estate is a great option...think about this....during the next 5 years, how many houses can I buy for the least amount of investment....one every 6 months?......in 5 years you would have 10 houses, that could all be rented, paying off your mortgages and creating passive income for you.
-If you have been downsized or are afraid of the future with your employer, make a decision to find a business for yourself that is growing and prospering BECAUSE of this economy! http://www.BeHome.ca
-Surround yourself with like minded, goal oriented, driven, positive people. This in itself will lead you to more opportunity than you can even imagine.

Wealthy people have been waiting for the opportunities that exist right now! We understand that this is one of the greatest times in history to build wealth. Just make a choice to surround yourself with these type of people, that are optimistic, positive, that can teach you how to be a part of this exciting opportunity.

Grateful for Motherhood! Living Life With the People I Love Most!

I am so grateful to be the mom of two incredible young adults! Our daughter Amy is a a recent web designer/graphic design graduate, (Multimedia Design and Production and 3D Animation) has started her own design business, http://www.wickedwench.ca works part time in a high end Thai restaurant as a server/bartender, and is focused, professional and goes after what she wants. She is a beautiful young woman, and besides being our daughter is one of my best friends.


Our son Jeff is working in a sales position utilizing the personal development knowledge he has been passionate about for the past 4 years His thinking is more advanced and focused than most people twice or 3 times his age. A true testimony of what personal development can do for someones life that makes a decision to learn success principles and then actually apply them to their own lives. He is strong in character, integrity, determined, and besides being our son, is also one of my best friends.

None of this would have been possible without my incredible husband, Barry.....who has taught me patience, incredible love and is such a great dad.

All of us that have experienced motherhood know all the good and the sometimes challenging times that come with the role....to me, it is an absolute honor and privilege to have been and continue to be a part of our kids lives and to be the one Amy and Jeff call "mom"....

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!

Do "What If's" Hold You Back?

How many times in your life have you wanted to do something and you said "yes, but...what if?....." It is so common for most people to live their life this way.....

This is just one of many phrases that have been drilled into our brains growing up....we have been "conditioned" to think this way, however, that does not mean it is the RIGHT way to think!

Here is another example - "get a good job, work until you are 65, get a pension and then you will be set". Set for WHAT? How about this instead "take control of your life, work for yourself, find something you are passionate about, retire in your 30's, 40's or 50's, travel the world and live life with the people you love most". I guarantee that most people that read this statement will never believe that is possible for them - because, they have been conditioned to buy into fear and limitations and the "it sounds too good to be true" phrase (another classic example of limiting beliefs)

But, here is the exciting news....you don't have to keep thinking that way! Living your life by the "what if's" means you will not take chances, that you are fearful, that you miss out on incredible experiences, and opportunities in every area of life. Really, the "what if's" are just fear based excuses.

Most of these "what if's" NEVER come true.....but people waste so much time and energy playing their lives "safely" in their perceived "safety net" just in case.....then life passes them by and they wonder what happened to all the possibilities....they wonder why they didn't experience more, they wonder why their life wasn't what they wanted it to be.

It is never too late....anyone can take a firm stand for what they want in their lives, and make a bold decision to move past the excuses, the what if's, and start living the type of life they want and start experiencing all the things that are possible.

We are surrounded by abundance every single day....some people will choose to see it, embrace it and be a part of it....others will stand by frozen in their past conditioning and keep "waiting" for the perfect timing for something they want to be, do or have...these are the people that get to old age and wonder what happened?

It is all a choice....

Global Economy - We Are In A "Changing" Economy

It is interesting to observe all the doom and gloom talk that so many people are engaged in regarding the "global recession". I have recently read several excellent books that addressed the need for peoples thinking to change....the people that will survive are the people that are willing to change the way they think and become innovative and creative in terms of their futures and stop holding onto the past way of earning their livings. I have personally observed this in my own business. Our sales are up approx. 60% over the same time period last year....at a time when everyone around us are complaining about the lack of jobs, or opportunity or money, etc., we have people prospering at a higher level than ever before. Ask any successful business person, this is a time where fortunes are being made by the people that embrace this time of change and take control of their own futures, and stop buying into the media and the mass panic. You can be part of the problem, or part of the solution! We welcome anyone that wants to be a part of the solution to contact us.

It's time for people to get their foot off the brake and put the throttle down...we are surrounded by huge opportunity right now...but not for those that live in fear and limiting beliefs and buy into the mass panic the media is feeding everyone!
