Earn a Living Through the Power of Touch

admin on Nov-6-2008

The healing power of touch is not unknown. A personalized massage regimen not only relieves the body of the toxics generated within, but also helps the person regain vitality emotionally and mentally. A career as a massage or spa therapist can be particularly rewarding for this very reason. If assisting people relax and find peace through touch therapy thrills you to bits, there could not be a better career option. And since what you give away comes back to you, you can revel in the satisfaction that comes from doing a job well. A career in massage and spa therapy would ideally be perfect for a person who rejoices in others’ relief. A pleasurable job comes sans work related stresses and hence increases the chances of you enjoying it manifold.

The present scenario

The spa and massage industry has experienced an unprecedented high in the last decade. Several trends in massage suggest that the opportunities for massage therapy careers are exponentially rising, with an increasing number of people opting for massage and spa relaxation to relieve themselves of stress and pressure. A spa therapist hardly ever faces a dearth of job opportunities, which makes this area of study one of the most rewarding fields in current times.

Massage and spa therapies have come a full circle and are today known to supplement traditional medicine. The myriad specializations that can be pursued have only made the profession more organized and hence, respectable. From relaxation massages to specialized clinical applications that require rigorous training, students of this vocation can choose to work with medical offices, clinics, spas, or varied segments of clients including athletes, infants, elderly or people with injuries, sicknesses or handicaps. The most preferred option, though, is the setting up of a massage saloon.

Massage therapy as a career option

The decision of whether or not to take up massage therapy as a career depends upon a number of factors. Answering a few basic questions – such as 1) Do I like interacting with people? 2) Am I satisfied with the smile on their faces at the end of a session? 3) Do I believe in the power of touch therapy to cure illnesses? 4)Do I love contributing in my own way to the overall well being of an individual through personalized care? - would put to rest the dilemma. Deciding whether this field is the right choice as a career goal is not as difficult as pursuing this goal.

The training required

Recognizing the needs of the growing spa industry, many institutions have come up with courses on massage therapy. These dwell upon the overall anatomy of the human body with detailed emphasis on muscles and their particular functions in the body. Apart from this, the certification courses involve giving and receiving massage to learn about the intricacies of touch therapy.

Choose a course keeping in mind the requirements of the industry. A course that is in conjunction with the industry standards will help enhance your prospects as a massage and spa therapist. A certification course or a degree that is recognized by a national accreditation agency and offering a minimum 500 instruction hours is a good option. Many states that regulate massage and spa therapies ask for these criteria from the practitioner. Taking up the national certificate exam for therapeutic massage and bodywork is the next step towards a career. Meeting the requirements of the local body governing or regulating such therapies is imperative. Be aware of their requirements and stand in compliance of them.

A massage therapy is both an art and a science. See if your chosen program offers both theoretical and particle knowledge. Make sure that the basic of massage therapy is covered by the curriculum in depth. Try to find out if the course encourages the development of your touch skills. The importance of continuing education cannot be pooh-poohed either. Advanced training in the departments of therapies for sports, orthopedic, neuromuscular therapy, therapeutic touch and polarity and Shiatsu proves to be an added advantage and decreases the competition you might face in your career as a massage therapist.

Marketing or business administration courses, though not essential, will definitely add value to your basic course. These will be of immense help in targeting the niche clientele your business focuses on, and retaining them.

Making a career

Once you are armed with the necessary degrees and certifications, its time to contemplate what exact option would you like to plunge in. Do your home work and decide whether you want to set up your own saloon or work in association with other businesses? Are you looking for a full time career or do you want this career to supplement your other income generating work?

If you decide to work in conjunction with some other businesses or want to get employed at a spa as a therapist, choose the type of spa you would like to work in – be it a day spa, resort spa, destination spa or a medical spa. Writing a good resume listing your qualifications and experiences along with a precise cover letter is half the battle won. Since it is the first communication from your side, avoid spelling mistakes, and grammatical errors in the document. Speaking up with the managers of spas that you intend to wok in will give you an idea of the ambience and work culture there. Forward your resume to all the businesses you intend to work with.

A personal interview is the best opportunity to convince the manager of your strengths. Explain in what way you could contribute to the growth of the spa. Reaching a little while early than the scheduled time will not only help you prepare for the discussion, but will also help you gauge the ways of the employees and superiors.

A career in massage therapy is a way to help people overcome personal anxieties and allows the practitioner a unique personal interaction with fellow beings. Even though money can be the motivating factor in the choice of this career, majority prefer being a practitioner solely for the joy of personal connection.

Coaching Models Used In the Workplace

admin on Nov-6-2008

Workplace coaching revolves around establishing a mutual relationship between staff members and the supervisor or manager. As a coach, the supervisor is not limited to remedial or corrective coaching.

History of the Coaching Models:

Many of the early coaching models made an attempt to formulate a coaching model based on the static models of learning. This was seen from the 1950s to the 1980s. However, the 90s saw the additional option of sports coaching.

Coaching models should be assessed individually. They are expected to be flexible and adaptable, to facilitate easy implementation according to the need.

Coaching models are also expected to follow certain criteria like:

. Presenting a complete, comprehensive description of all the processes involved.
. Establishing the connection and nature of the component parts.
. Predictive enough to make attaining goals easy.
. Ability to produce sustainable and measurable changes.

Types of coaching models:

Traditional coaching methods were constructed around outdated change models, like the grow model, action planning, simplistic personality profiling and goal setting. Most of these models fall short of formulating measurable and long-lasting behavior competences.

Commonly used coaching models and the change factors addressed:

Stages of the trans-theoretical or change model:

Willingness to make or attempt to bring about a change in behavior differs from individual to individual. A reversion to the old model is a part of the process.

Social learning theory or social cognitive theory:

The main criteria under this theory are environmental influences, personal factors and behavior.

Theory of planned behavior or theory of reasoned action:

Being rational in nature, people pursue a common motto to perform, keeping in mind the beliefs, subjective norms, attitudes and perceived behavioral control.

Solution focused theory:

This particular model is known to assume that the client knows the answers. Considering the critical role of commitment, trust and collaboration, formulating solutions encourages change.

Multi-modal approach to coaching models:

The multi-modal approach to coaching models uses features of various coaching models and techniques. It is considered one of the most systematic and technically diverse approaches. The success of this professional approach lies in the coach training method and the fulfillment of the client or employer needs.

Role of a workplace coach:

Coaches not only help in reaching the goals but also motivate the team members in performing better, like sports coaches do. Coaching is not merely telling someone what to do or offering advice. An efficient coach presents the team members with more challenges, while considering a different approach to deal with workplace problems.

Coaching is a lesson in self-improvement and self-discovery. In the workplace, the managers act as coaches. It is part of their duty to be firm with the team members and monitor their progress. They are expected to act in a specific manner towards the different challenges faced at work. Moreover, coaches double up as mentors. They generally use questionnaires and feedback from the co-workers and role-play exercises to assess the leadership style. To attain all the goals in the workplace, it is essential for the coach to be efficient.

The Golden Rules Of Motivation

admin on Nov-6-2008

Why is motivation important?

Whether you are trying to achieve something yourself or lead others towards an achievement, the ability to be self-motivated or to motivate is crucial. When we meet people who are regarded as successful or high achievers, it is tempting to assume that they are innately self-driven, or are natural leaders with high levels of motivational ability. This may well be the case, but it is just as likely that they have learned and used some effective techniques for either motivating themselves or to motivate others.

The benefits of motivation to an individual are fairly obvious – people who are motivated tend to be more successful in achieving their personal and professional goals, which in turn has benefits in terms of their self-esteem and confidence. Given that people are usually the most important asset of any organization, motivation is also a critical factor in the overall success of a team or business.

Three golden rules of motivation

Motivation does not take place on its own. In order to be motivated or to motivate others, it is important to remember three golden rules of motivation before considering any specific techniques.

1 Motivation is impossible without clear achievable goals

Motivation and goal setting are inextricably linked. Without a goal or purpose, motivation is meaningless, whilst motivation is a vital part of intentionally achieving any goal. Two of the most basic motivators are to know exactly what you are trying to achieve, and to then go out and achieve it. Not having a clear idea of your goal or not believing that a goal is attainable will severely dent your motivation.

2 Motivation and goals need to be in alignment at every level

How often have you felt that you have been performing well or doing a good job, only to be told by your manager or colleagues that you have been focusing on the wrong thing, that priorities have changed or that you have simply been underperforming? For example, imagine an experienced sales person who has an excellent track record of retaining business with their established customers, but is heavily criticized by their manager for failing to develop as much new business as their less experienced colleague. As a result, the sales person feels alienated, undervalued and ultimately de-motivated. Their performance and results are likely to suffer. The chances are that there has been a lack of dialogue between the manager and the sales person over how individual goals need to fit with the overall goals of the company. If the emphasis is on generating new business, has this been communicated effectively to each sales person, and in a manner which will motivate each of them to succeed?

Every business needs motivated employees in order to be successful and achieve its goals. If employee motivation is not closely matched to these business goals, the chances of success are diminished.

3 Motivation is neither fixed nor infinite

Motivation is not a one-off event. Something which provides motivation at one particular time may not be as effective in the future, due to changes in environment and circumstances. If someone is driven to become the best in their field, how do they maintain their motivation to perform once they reach the pinnacle of their profession? Even if circumstances remain constant, the most powerful motivational factors will lose impact over the course of time. For instance, you may attend a conference and feel energized by a particular speaker or meeting, and leave the event highly motivated to put what you have heard into action. How long will the impact of what you heard last before you slip back into old ways of doing things?

Motivation is a constant process and constantly changes. As an individual or as a leader trying to motivate others, it is vital to remember this.

You Can Learn to Play the Guitar

admin on Nov-5-2008

In high school, did you ever dream about starting your own rock band? Want to duplicate the soothing sounds of folk tunes for family and friends? Does your favorite musician work magic with a Gibson ES 335? Is Jimi Hendrix your idol? It doesn’t matter the reason why you want to play the guitar - a seed has been planted and now it is time to nurture the desire.

Where to begin? Playing guitar (whether for fun or professionally) takes patience and determination. By following a few tips, you can harness your passion or interest for the instrument. You will also find that fueling your creativity and developing this new form of expression will take time. Great guitar players do not blossom overnight.

Purchasing a Guitar

Before you start learning the ropes of guitar playing, you’re going to need an instrument to carry out your lessons. The type of music you wish to play will determine the kind of guitar you require. For example, an acoustic guitar is used to generate the sounds of country, ragtime or folk. The body of the guitar is large and hollow, creating a sound that many deem “natural.” Rock music often utilizes an electric guitar, which offers a rather distinctive amplified sound. Additional guitars to look into include the steel, solid body, archtop, resonator, bass and twelve-string guitar.

With the purchase of a guitar, there are other necessary pieces of basic equipment. A guitar pick is required to help play the chords of your instrument. The size of guitar pick is quite small, prompting easy breakage and it can also be easily misplaced. This is why beginners should have a good number of guitar picks on hand. When purchasing picks, the medium gauge varieties are suggested because they are less apt to break. You should also invest in a comfortable chair.

Getting Lessons

While some guitar players are able to naturally experiment with chords by ear and strum along with less guidance, others require the assistance of structured lessons. There are numerous ways to learn how to play the guitar. If you are able to afford a private tutor, you can take advantage of one-on-one instruction, which may speed up the learning process. Sometimes, beginners benefit from group learning, which provides a wealth of constructive criticism. The Internet also offers a way for beginners to privately learn online. Some websites offer a computer keyboard lesson on learning scales, which some beginners find quite easy.

Whichever approach you take in learning to play guitar, you should know that setting goals for yourself makes the process more rewarding. Achieving personal milestones further motivates your desire to find a common ground with the instrument and who knows how far your lessons will take you.

Recognizing why you want to play guitar in the first place will also help you to better accomplish your goals. Some people want to learn to play for fun, peaking with a performance in front of family and friends. Others would like to share their talents with a slightly larger crowd, probably visiting a few coffee shops or open-mic nights. Then there are the masses of learners who have bigger dreams of taking to a stage in front of thousands. No matter what the goal is, you can’t get there without loads of practice.

What You Will Learn

Guitar lessons usually start with building a basic foundation, such as how to properly hold the guitar and establishing correct posture when playing. There is a wide range of techniques involved in playing the guitar and after a few lessons, you may start to find your niche.

One of the most important things to focus on when playing a guitar is understanding and mastering the chords. There are books and charts to help you along this important part of the process. There are many different chords to familiarize yourself with and taking them one at a time will lead to better results.

Additional areas of guitar instruction may include learning how to properly hold a pick, memorizing scales, tackling music theory and selecting a music style. Instrument maintenance, such as tuning and caring for your guitar is also of importance.

Sticking With It

Staying motivated is one of the best things you can do when learning to play the guitar. It is easy to become frustrated with a new project and abandon it before truly experiencing any benefits. On some days, you may have to dig deep to reclaim your passion and dedication. Other days, you could be composing the next pop hit. Give the process a chance and remember that it takes time to get the hang of this instrument. The best thing you can do is continue to practice and soon, you will reap the rewards of hard work and focus.

Paths To Profit Online

admin on Nov-5-2008

The path of least resistance is by nature the course most traveled. In economic terms this path is most difficult to measure at start up because no personal experience is present and so we must rely on the experience of others to guide us. Other persons experience at this point is theory and sold using a variety of techniques that every internet entrepreneur must choose from to get it.

My first impression of web marketing tactics was that there were many people offering their experience for sale as a quick and easy way to earn extraordinary income. Understandably there was no mention of what experience was brought to the theory of success before start up. Claims like “If I can do it anybody can, broke to riches in 30 days.” were allegedly proved by pictures of bank or pay statements. However, there was still a leap of faith or trust that did nothing to clear the view of start-up reality even after buying.

Competition for sales to new marketers is fierce because every one that has gone before tries to copy the tactics they have purchased only to discover a saturated niche. Competition in a saturated market is the first object lesson delivered and once learned used to open the door to the next level of opportunity. Alternatively, the experience may also be considered as a rite of passage that tends to be implied, not stated, and so acts to filter the short run opportunist from the long term business builder.

To help business builders better understand the economic value of experience, bitter and sweet, I’ll construct a simple view of start-up to better characterize the short and long term view to prosper.

Everyone who has chosen to earn money online enters the market at some point, and at some time. They bring whatever knowledge and skills they may have to bear upon the single goal of selling something for profit. Start-up then begins at this point and continues until income meets or exceeds what was being earned upon entry. In other words the first marker of progress is income replacement.

Income replacement occurs when average monthly income from internet business meets or exceeds present income. For example, $3,000 a month means the replacement income target would be $36,000. The time it takes to get there is the actual time it takes to start-up. Since there is no way to forecast this variable, genuine offers will usually include a disclaimer to this effect.

Time then is relative to variable factors like how much time you spend to learn, to build your business, and recover from choices that lead you in directions that may differ from your goal. While some may argue that the lower your present income is the shorter the start-up will be, the other side of that coin is setting a target income that enables a standard of living you need or desire. Now standard of living implies another variable of setting an appropriate income value as your start-up milestone.

Notwithstanding the well meaning and important value of being all that you can with visions and plans for future achievement, present reality is a stark contrast. For the purpose of this discussion it is the place from which measurement begins. So we must start by making a distinction between the present and the future standard of living.

To begin then, a standard of living is a measure of what you can afford to purchase with your present income. Typically, as income increases so does the standard of living. However, a common approach to improving living standard is to leverage earning potential by taking out a loan to buy what you feel improves your standard. This is a basic concept of leverage used both personally and in business. This form of credit is based on an optimistic forecast that the person or business can meet the payment obligations according to the terms. What makes this optimistic is to assume the basis for the ability to pay will stay the same or improve. Sometimes it doesn’t.

In economic theory, theory and practice are the same. In reality they differ. After all, why would anyone want to start an internet business with little money or time to invest except in the event the reality of their financial situation compels them to seek a path of least resistance to sustain or improve a standard of living. Now let’s return to putting a value on present standard of living and set an economic cornerstone.

First let’s disconnect living expenses from debt. This places present standard of living without debt as a number value or target value for replacement income. Debt and current income are variables. Time and experience then becomes your main assets on the path to prosperity where debt is short term, standard of living is paid up, and income meets demand. Once this point is reached start-up matures to business operation for the purpose of sustainability and growth. So the day you start to do business on the internet until you have paid your debts and have reliable recurring income that pays for your ongoing standard of living and business operating expenses is the day start up ends and business begins.

To put the time factor into some perspective here is an excerpt from an interview Ewen Chia did with Graham Hammer.

“Ewen: When did your ‘big break’ come and what was the turning point that changed everything?

Graham: My “big break” came when I set up Profit-Plan in 2002, but you’ve got to understand that “big breaks” don’t just “happen”. They are worked-for and hard-earned.

Let me explain… I started planning and constructing Profit-Plan in mid 2002 (it actually launched in late January 2003). But before I could construct the site, I had to learn how to write HTML pages, and I began that process in 2001. (I still write my pages “by hand” in raw text. I just feel it gives me more “control” over how the page looks.)

So a journey that appears to have begun in January 2003 with the launch of Profit-Plan actually began in 2001 when I picked up a book about HTML code. Profit-Plan was an instant hit, not least because the headline read….”Make a profit today, or your money back today” (which I guess shows the power of a great headline).”

The path of least resistance still requires the learning and practice of skills whether you pay large sums for trial and error or take a path of lower cost. The question is how much are you prepared to spend in time, money, trial and error to start-up your business. Fortunately for those with limited budgets there are options to start-up faster in a collaborative online workspace at low cost. The h4h.biz projects are well on their way to becoming the workspace of choice for those determined to walk the path to prosperity online.

Goals & Priorities are a Must for your Organization

admin on Nov-3-2008

Goals: A goal is a pre-determined result. Something you intend to achieve over the long term.

Priorities: A priority is a ranking. 1-2-3 and A-B-C, etc. of your daily tasks so the tasks related to your most important goals become your top priorities.

Our goals provide our direction. Until we have established our goals much of our activity is pointless. Without goals, we have no reason to organize, ourselves and our time because we are not going anywhere in particular. It then makes no difference how long anything takes. Every activity is of equal value.

But once we have identified our goals, we are able to judge the effectiveness of or time choices. Did our choices make real progress toward our goals, or were they distractions?

Goals and time are your keys to success. You achieve success as defined in your goals, through the medium of time. Nothing approaches the motivating power of setting demanding goals and then systematically measuring progress toward achieving them.

If you do not manage your time, you will never achieve your goals. But if you do not have goals, you do not need time, because you are not going anywhere. Top goal achievers are always top time managers.

Goals.Goal setting is a common denominator of effective individuals and organizations. Weekly goal setting will help ensure that you devote time to your first things, your important things.

Weekly goals contribute to the achievement of your personal mission. To help you identify your weekly goals, ask yourself: What is the most important thing I could do in each role this week to have the greatest positive impact?

Weekly goals are not typical to dos or daily action items, but represent activities such as relationship building, planning, preparation, personal development, and personal renewal. They are important, but not necessarily urgent.

Goethe is quoted as saying: Things that matter most must never be at the mercy of things which matter least!

Characteristics of Effective Goals. Effective goals share the following seven characteristics:

I.Owned by those affected
Goals which are defined by those who are effective are much more likely to be carried out with enthusiasm and commitment. People have a better understanding of a goal when they have participated in its development. They are also far more motivated to carry it out.

When people in organizations together develop goals consistent with their mutual success, they have taken the first step toward highly effective time management. They have created a standard for evaluating whether or not their is activities make sense in whether or not their use of time makes sense.

II. Demanding
Goals that are not demanding are barely goals at all. Nothing is more motivating than setting demanding goals that reflect your values and then figuring out how to achieve them systematically.

III. Achievable
Goals must be feasible enough for you to achieve them. If you set goals that are so unrealistic you have no hope of attaining them, you set yourself up for frustration and failure. However, if you have an impossible dream that you really want, do not abandon it. Break it up into smaller, more realistic, attainable goals and begin achieving them, one at a time.

IV. Measurable

Your goals must be measurable so you can judge your progress so you know when you have succeeded. Measuring progress is also an excellent motivator and enables you to correct your course when necessary.

V.Given Deadlines
Goals need deadlines. Otherwise, they will be shifted aside to whatever seems pressing at the moment.

VI. Written
Goals should be written so they are not be forgotten. One person said Out of sight, out of mind. Another reminded us that The palest ink is better than the best memory.

VII. Flexible
Goals must be flexible enough to accommodate changing conditions.

Doing Things Related To Your Personal Goals…

admin on Oct-31-2008

There are those who are bounded by laws and rules, yet success is too distant for them. On the other hand, there are those who appears to be easy going people but are successful. Think you have what it takes to be like them? Or would you rather do something different to achieve the elusive success? Take heart and set your personal goals.

What do goals represent by the way? These are actually representations of your visions about you and your future. Goals should be achievable and realistic. These kinds of goals allow you to put them into practice or at least do some activities that allow you to monitor your progress. However, more is involved in just merely setting realistic personal goals.

Remember that in order to achieve your goals, you must act according to your goals. Otherwise, all else would be vanity if you do not exert effort in reaching them. The following will help you set achievable personal goals:

1. Enhance your skills in achieving targeted personal goals by setting objectives, as well as standard and optional activities that will help you meet your goals.

2. Strategize and take risks in meeting your goals. Strategic thinking is very important because this will allow you to be productive and focus on the activities according to your personal goals.

3. Act in accordance to your personal goals. Proper mind setting is very important in achieving your personal goals. Take the extra mile. Try taking risks but never compromise your safety. Taking risks means that you are ready to learn new things and challenges that will help you in the long run.

On one hand, you may wonder why there is a need for you to set goals if you think you have not failed at all in your endeavors.

Remember that setting goals does not mean that you always fail. Setting goals means that you are acknowledging your limitations and you are ready to work your way up towards success, professionally or personally. It is for this reason why objective personal goals matter.

Moving forward, you also have to consider that there are personal goals that are just too hard to achieve on your own. At times, these goals even create conflicts that you might think of surrendering in the long run. Take heart. Everybody have similar concerns at times.

If this situation occurs and you think that surrendering is the last option, why not look for a partner, a friend maybe who is willing to help you out with your personal goals? Collaborate with your prospective partner and learn to prioritize. If it requires spending time in plotting all the possibilities, both the pros and cons, try it.

Remember that goal setting is focused on your benefits. So try working things out and focus, focus, and focus. Minimize or avoid distractions if possible so you can work your goals better. Work that proper mindset for a clearer vision of you achieving those valuable goals. If you are vying for promotion in your workplace, it is important that you see yourself already in the position you want.

If you are aiming for a personal or educational goal, make things happen by planning and doing things related to your personal goals. You will then realize that personal goals, no matter how difficult they may appear, are still valuable to consider.

Once your personal goals are achieved, sweet success knocks on your door commending you for a job well done.

Getting our Aims in Life Sorted

admin on Oct-30-2008

Probably the hardest part of setting goals is the first step of actually deciding to take action! The main hurdle that most people face is the incorrect assumption that goals are only for business or sales-minded people. The reality is everyone subconsciously sets goals throughout their day. There are always occasions where something has to be done at a particular time or place. Simple examples could be getting up at a certain time in order to be at work, or to meet with a friend for a leisure activity.

After years of sales meetings, one small statement made me realize that this process is as natural as breathing. The beauty of having goals is the uniqueness of each one to the person setting the goal. They are very specific to them and their circumstances whether in the area of business, financial, personal or spiritual.

The most important part initially, is to write them down. Having the goals written down gives incredible power and focus to your efforts.

Aim for something that will stretch you whilst remaining achievable. If the goal is achieved too easily it is not high enough to make any significant change in your life and needs to be adjusted. On the other hand, if you consistently miss the goal, re-evaluate and consider setting it a little lower as you will probably get discouraged and give up. The aim is to keep growing, and moving into a more satisfactory position for your circumstances.

The goal should be as specific as possible with a benefit of attaining it. Another good idea is to also have the result of not reaching the goal. This will strengthen your resolve to take the necessary action.

As you obtain the levels that you have set for yourself always include a small reward at each point. This will only need to be a small treat in the beginning, such as a meal out or a weekend vacation.

Remember that these changes will not take place overnight and there will be a period of time when nothing seems to be happening. This is why the goals need to be detailed and as specific as possible with a consequence and a benefit.

Allow some time on a daily basis to educate yourself on how to make the necessary adjustments in your life. This could include listening to a cd or reading a book on motivation etc. There is an enormous amount of resources available to anyone looking for help in this area.

A simple method to start with could be one goal in the main areas of life to be achieved in one month, six months, one year and five years. Break that down further into a daily, weekly and monthly plan.

To summarize. Write them down, be specific, and allow time. Review and adjust on a regular basis. Stay focussed and disciplined to achieve all you desire.

The Begining of Wealth Part One

admin on Oct-30-2008

Seeing as I am here to help you make money. Perhaps if I help you change some values and bad habits and start to show you the path to Financial Freedom, maybe then you will make the tiny step forward and
join with us.

We have many affiliates benefiting from our guidance but, I have to admit there is much contempt on the internet, this I understand and to a certain degree promote this same scepticism.

As I have said before we will never ask you to send us money to join our members area, what we do require is you join one of our main partners, this shows your commitment to success. I would of course encourage you to join them all, with this said don’t.

Just join 1, join Empowerism or Success University. Why? because they are both directed and learning training duplication and understanding, with a sound network marketing model. Also now this is where I am going to lead into the reason I started this post.

I said to you the secret that was taught to me. Create a product everyone wants market that product to people who want to make changes to there life, then teach those people the business until they can teach the next person.
“what is the perfect product? financial freedom”

Now the cruncher, you want residual income and to work from home right!
Most internet ‘Guru’s’ are not offering you this, they are offering you advertising and marketing advice if you are lucky , but no vehicle.

A vehicle you ask? yes a vehicle to take you from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Here we go then, for you to have a successful residual income you want a sound network marketing model, we go all the way back to the birth of truly successful network marketing, ‘Amway’, yep you heard it. Say good things say bad things, at the end of the day they have produced more millionaires than any other single organisation. “A sound network marketing model is the key to residual income”

Now i am not about to tell you to join ‘Amway’, but they have a residual income model, a network market model.

This is what you want for residual ongoing income, all of our top programs offer this, that is why our system is so powerful. By the time you finish our program, you have generated multiple income streams spread between different platforms. This is the most powerful income generation program available anywhere. We are the only organisation to incorporate ‘hot sponsoring’ and ‘wealth creation’ with money management training.

98% of all lotto winners have lost/spent the money within 5 years! Why? They have never had money. Just because you suddenly have some does not mean you have the tools to hold on to it or make it grow.

Now onto the reason I started this before venturing into verbal diarrhoea.

Wealth creation the first steps.

Why does the neighbour next door, who earns the same money as you, own the boat & caravan which you don’t?
Make your money work for you. Most people work for money. This is wrong thinking completely. Money has to work for you!

Okay first we need to attack our budget. If you are a typical working person and earning your wage, I am not going to set an amount as that will defeat the purpose.
How much money are you saving every week? If you are saving nothing you will never get anywhere. It does not matter how small the contribution is, it is a start.

Save your change I can not tell you how big this one is. I still keep all my change in two separate tins, gold and silver. Every year we have over $15,000 complete “mad money”, as I call it. This April my fiance and I are heading off to Ireland. We have eagerly been trying to out do each other on our tins. I predict that this year we will probably come back with unspent money, all this from spare change.

Do you smoke? If yes give up! if you can’t give up change to rolling tobacco $30 per week saving to average smoker $70 saving if you quit.

How many times do you stop on the way home, to work, from school, to school, at the local convenience store, to get that loaf of bread or carton of milk? $10 per week saving. Carry out a weekly shop and stick to it. Buy in bulk for bigger savings, and they deliver in most cases. Do you only buy name brand goods i.e. no savings or plain brands, gain you are not to good for this, and with most products their is little difference.

How many times do you drive where you could of walked? Do you own a bicycle. I do as it keeps me sort of fit and gives me time to enjoy the sites of summer. It also gives quality time with your partner and children.

Cut out coupons. No you are not above that, or you wouldn’t need to. Greet your snail mail spam as ways to save a few more dollars. Companies send out millions of dollars worth of free and discounted product every day.

What are you good at? What can you give to people you know? i.e you are a computer tech? have you considered starting a little side concern? Every extra dollar helps.

Offer to do your neighbors lawns for a few dollars better yet send the eldest son/daughter around to do it, and split the profits.

Hold a garage sale. You could have thousands of dollars of things you don’t need any more.

Sell the second car. Yes I am serious. That money alone put into only one program would earn you more than you are currently earning at work. A car valued at $5000 gives nearly $100 per week to invest into a second income stream for a period of 12 months.

What goals in life do you have? For life with no goals is football with no goal posts, pointless! Unless you have achievable goals and a concise plan and image of where you are going and how you are going to get there? Successful people set many goals, financial, personal, family, spiritual. I can not stress the importance enough of goal setting.

Split up savings, put your main savings every week into an account you can not touch easily, here is an even better way. Go to Bullion Vault .com and sign up for an account. You can trade and save with the best currency in the world “gold” In the members section you will see me talk much about the forgotten resource and ho we are going to make extreme profits, from one of the most secret gold currency in the world. Your smaller of the savings is your reward pot. I go into great detail in the members section about the importance of saving and rewarding your self for good saving.

Do you give your children pocket money or do you teach them the value of money? I was fortunate enough to have a privileged up bringing but with that said, I was not spoilt. I do believe some of the values that were installed into me have been invaluable and I want more people to pass on such life changing thoughts.

I like anyone even with more chances than most to get it right, failed many times in traditional business, most millionaire’s have been broke at least 3 times. Even when you have the tools and training, you can still get it wrong so to speak, or make a bad decision and, you are back to square one. I am a strong believer in ‘Murphy’s Law’ it wasn’t until I got traditional business right, that I discovered I should of been putting my efforts into network marketing.

But when i first saw network marketing, about 18 years ago, I did not have the tools needed to build the business. It wasn’t until 2003, a good friend convinced me to look at this business plan, that I became involved in a business that was to change my life.I still have traditional business, I believe it is good to diversify as much as possible. Traditional business serves a purpose, and we need them. In my opinion though and the opinion of many friends, is that network marketing offers you freedom to pursue traditional business you normally wouldn’t. It gives you the freedom to travel as you wish, and to spend time with the most important asset in your life, your family.

My mother told me from a young, “do not work for someone son, for you will not have time to make money! you may work harder longer and for less holidays, but in the end you will have more time to enjoy life”.
Also I was told excuse the French from god rest her soul a woman who never usually cursed, my inspirational mother,” Don’t ever let the bastards beat you”.
I still thank my Mother to this day, wherever she may be, I thank her for the education she so desperately installed into a youngster that did not want to now. I am glad I somehow did listen, to her wise words they have kept me in good steed over the years.

There is much education you never learn at school, most will never hear the teachings that keep generations of privileged family’s just that for generation after generation. What the whole marketing world tell you to buy, will always be a lie! The first attitude i will change on you, is to take your thinking above the hype and noise.
When you can think and see clearly a whole new world will start to appear to you.

I am not saying if you work for someone you are never going to get anywhere, but you must practise the secrets to success so much more closely. I have designed this program for people with normal lives, for you are the people who want a better life. One in 1a hundred people are still millionaires. I believe over time we could raise that bar.

There is absolutely no reason for you to fail. We have taken the elements of failure out of your way. There is only a brighter, more successful future ahead of you, if you will only make the first step and commit yourself to improving your life.

We have every tool you need to become successful. We have the training in place to teach you all you need to know from small business to taxation to how to plan a holiday. Remember we are the only organisation to offer world class training with wealth creation. Even if you joined with us and did nothing with the program, except to make the changes to your thinking and life attitude, you would still be more successful and happier.

Imagine if you have the fore thought to join with us now, where you could be in 12 months.

5% of the worlds population hold 95% of the wealth.This has been a statistic for too many years now. It does not change because we do not teach the systems of wealth and success to just anyone. This is about to change! Remember the most important fact of all, Wealth Creation. We can show you how to make money from home and online with legitimate programs that will bring money to you year after year, after year. However, what will make your children’s futures brighter than you could possibly imagine is the power of wealth creation. These are the tools that no one teaches you. These are the tools that were handed down to me. These are the tools kept closely quiet as they tend to be simple life changing ideas and opportunities.

Once you are in the wealth circle opportunities and ideas flow freely to you. Making money online is just our vehicle presented to you, so you can take part of where the real money and wealth is invested.

To be free in this world, you must have the tools needed. You do not need the system! Only once you elevate yourself above the hype of what is everywhere will you see the world in a different light.

I have spent most of my years in Australia. For that reason some of my analogy’s may be a little foreign to you. None the less I have seen it throughout the so called advanced nations.

We are only opening training for 20 affiliates at a time. This is because we want YOU to reach a certain financial position and have the training and knowledge needed to teach people after you. This is not an offer that you will see extended or always at 20 people. If you are not in the current group of 20 affiliates you will have to wait until our next induction into the training course. You can still join our members area where you will still benefits from all the marketing material, discussion on current marketing etc. You will still be presented with all the tools of wealth creation in a simple and concise manner.

What you won’t receive is our personal training course, designed to hold your hand from day one and guide you to home business profits. It is a step by step interactive support with me and my support crew. This is not the end of the world if you don’t make the 20 you want, just be patient your turn will come. In the mean time use the resources designed to help you succeed. The 20 only plan is to make sure each person achieves the most out of the training system. We guarantee that by the end of the course you will be earning a minimum $2500 per month. This is $576 per week to you. Not bad seeing as you are still working, and this is just the beginning. You wont become an instant millionaire with us but we guarantee if you stick with us, put the principals we teach into practise, put your honest hard work and time into your business you will have an income over $730,000 per year within two to three years.

This income will never go down!

Your children’s, children will thank you for making that first small step so many generations ago

The Begining of Wealth

admin on Oct-30-2008

Seeing as I am here to help you make money. Perhaps if I help you change some values and bad habits and start to show you the path to Financial Freedom, maybe then you will make the tiny step forward and
join with us.

We have many affiliates benefiting from our guidance but, I have to admit there is much contempt on the internet, this I understand and to a certain degree promote this same scepticism.

As I have said before we will never ask you to send us money to join our members area, what we do require is you join one of our main partners, this shows your commitment to success. I would of course encourage you to join them all, with this said don’t.

Just join 1, join Empowerism or Success University. Why? because they are both directed and learning training duplication and understanding, with a sound network marketing model. Also now this is where I am going to lead into the reason I started this post.

I said to you the secret that was taught to me. Create a product everyone wants market that product to people who want to make changes to there life, then teach those people the business until they can teach the next person.
“what is the perfect product? financial freedom”

Now the cruncher, you want residual income and to work from home right!
Most internet ‘Guru’s’ are not offering you this, they are offering you advertising and marketing advice if you are lucky , but no vehicle.

A vehicle you ask? yes a vehicle to take you from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Here we go then, for you to have a successful residual income you want a sound network marketing model, we go all the way back to the birth of truly successful network marketing, ‘Amway’, yep you heard it. Say good things say bad things, at the end of the day they have produced more millionaires than any other single organisation. “A sound network marketing model is the key to residual income”

Now i am not about to tell you to join ‘Amway’, but they have a residual income model, a network market model.

This is what you want for residual ongoing income, all of our top programs offer this, that is why our system is so powerful. By the time you finish our program, you have generated multiple income streams spread between different platforms. This is the most powerful income generation program available anywhere. We are the only organisation to incorporate ‘hot sponsoring’ and ‘wealth creation’ with money management training.

98% of all lotto winners have lost/spent the money within 5 years! Why? They have never had money. Just because you suddenly have some does not mean you have the tools to hold on to it or make it grow.

Now onto the reason I started this before venturing into verbal diarrhoea.

Wealth creation the first steps.

Why does the neighbour next door, who earns the same money as you, own the boat & caravan which you don’t?
Make your money work for you. Most people work for money. This is wrong thinking completely. Money has to work for you!

Okay first we need to attack our budget. If you are a typical working person and earning your wage, I am not going to set an amount as that will defeat the purpose.
How much money are you saving every week? If you are saving nothing you will never get anywhere. It does not matter how small the contribution is, it is a start.

Save your change I can not tell you how big this one is. I still keep all my change in two separate tins, gold and silver. Every year we have over $15,000 complete “mad money”, as I call it. This April my fiance and I are heading off to Ireland. We have eagerly been trying to out do each other on our tins. I predict that this year we will probably come back with unspent money, all this from spare change.

Do you smoke? If yes give up! if you can’t give up change to rolling tobacco $30 per week saving to average smoker $70 saving if you quit.

How many times do you stop on the way home, to work, from school, to school, at the local convenience store, to get that loaf of bread or carton of milk? $10 per week saving. Carry out a weekly shop and stick to it. Buy in bulk for bigger savings, and they deliver in most cases. Do you only buy name brand goods i.e. no savings or plain brands, gain you are not to good for this, and with most products their is little difference.

How many times do you drive where you could of walked? Do you own a bicycle. I do as it keeps me sort of fit and gives me time to enjoy the sites of summer. It also gives quality time with your partner and children.

Cut out coupons. No you are not above that, or you wouldn’t need to. Greet your snail mail spam as ways to save a few more dollars. Companies send out millions of dollars worth of free and discounted product every day.

Unless you have achievable goals and a concise plan and image of where you are going and how you are going to get there? Successful people set many goals, financial, personal, family, spiritual. I can not stress the importance enough of goal setting.
