The Missing Link to Success in Life and Business

I know lots of business people, and many of them are more and more successful, which is great for them, and very encouraging for me, too, because my job is to help people create the life and business of their dreams.

However, a lot of people get to a certain point and then plateau – they feel a little stuck, a little bored or frustrated – or possibly very frustrated or angry. They look for business programs that wtill help, and sometimes they do. They seek out coaches and mentors who can give them advice and support, and that helps as well. If you’re reading this, I can pretty much guarantee that you’ve tried a lot of ways to be more successful, both in your life and your job or business.

That’s when you start looking for programs that will help you get out of the rut, right? And I’m sure you have tried many, and found them wanting… because they DON’T include the true missing link that you MUST have to take your business success up to the next level. It’s not enough to be profitable if you don’t to have great quality of life, as well!

For the last 15 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of people, and I’ve noticed that the main component that makes a difference to your overall quality of life is SPIRIT. That is, you need to get in touch with your spiritual core and bring that awareness into your daily life in order to step into the larger life you are designed to enjoy.

How can you do that? I’ve observed that there are five main principles, which I call the Five Ps:

• PASSION
• PURPOSE
• POSITION
• PRODUCTIVITY
• PEACE OF MIND

Together, these five lead to your ULTIMATE PROSPERITY. So let’s have a quick look at each of these principles in turn:

PASSION is the intense, positive feeling you have towards any person, place or thing that you love or feel fascinated by. When you come into this lifetime, you agreed to a veil that blocks direct communication with your eternal soul and the information fields of the universe. However, you do have a divine blueprint that you agreed to before the foundation of the world. It tells you what you’re here to do, and how to do it, with all the resources you require to fulfill your assignments. And best of all, your divine blueprint uses all your innate skills, talents and passions to create a wonderful life including your unique service to this planet.

Your passions are what your eternal self uses to nudge you in the direction of what you are here to do. In fact, your passions connect you with God. (I’m not talking about religion here, but about the larger, more complex intelligence of which you are a part.) Passion says “this one over here, not that one”; it reminds you of the strongest part of your nature, the unique programming you are here to embody.

The more you align with your passions, the easier it is to identify your PURPOSE here, because you will then do what you are best suited for and most interested in. I mean, someone who loathes children is not going to be a school-teacher, right? Not if they have any sense! People who love numbers become mathematicians or accountants; those interested in the human body become healthcare practitioners; people passionate about design become artists, arch-itects or interior decorators. People with a passion for music become musicians, composers or enthusiastic opera fans! Whatever you’re passionate about becomes your purpose, either because you choose it, or because you can’t imagine being/doing anything else. For instance, my best friend has loved quantum physics since the age of 12; naturally he’s a physicist now!

Once you know your passion and purpose, it’s just a matter of POSITIONING yourself develop your purpose. My friend had to study physics; he won a scholarship to Cambridge, got his doctorate, and immediately found a job that he still enjoys at a well-known university. Mozart had a musical passion, and his purpose was to compose the finest music of his time; he got himself born into a family where his father taught keyboards and could develop his genius. If you are passionate enough, and in tune with your purpose, you will find a way to position yourself to learn and lead in that field. This is how we see people of impoverished backgrounds rising above all difficulties to shine and soar.

PRODUCTIVITY is about being fully engaged with what you are doing. Are you passionate about your purpose here? Have you positioned yourself to learn how to express your innate genius? Then your work feels like play, and your PRODUCTIVITY shoots up because you focus on what you are here to do, and to do it with your whole heart. In fact, if you decide to do anything with your full attention, you’ll always become more productive, because productivity flows from your alignment with your divine blueprint. “Faith without works is dead faith”, meaning a conviction or persuasion without corresponding action is really not that meaningful. In productivity, we see the action that goes along with faith in your spiritual direction – whatever that might be.

Most important of all is PEACE OF MIND – the quiet mind that comes from being who you were designed to be and doing what you are here to do. I can tell you from experience that there is nothing as satisfying as being in the right place, at the right time, accomplishing your assignments. Rather than simply shutting down your brain or nervous system, this combination of passion, purpose, position and productivity brings an active peace of mind that stimulates even as it reassures.

PROSPERITY is about adding the other five together to create your great life. The Five Ps create expansion in every area of your life, encouraging you to step beyond your comfort zone and into excellence and prosperity. We all have a sense of our own limitations that combine with the lowered expectations of others to imprison you in a box of mediocrity. Trust me, you were not designed to be mediocre, less than, or stupid (meaning unconscious, stupified or unawake). You are not meant to fit into anyone’s picture of what they need you to be. You are here to do very specific things, and to do them with excellence. In God School, no one volunteers for Poverty 101, or for any kind of loss, lack or failure. So why do you put up with them in your own life?

Most people can make money through hard work and taking advantage of the opportunities that come their way; however, true prosperity is more than just piling up the dollars. True prosperity touches every part of your life. Edwene Gaines talks about this in The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity – which, by the way, I urge you to buy, read and use. Edwene defines true prosperity as

• A vitally alive physical body to provide a comfortable worldly home for the spiritual beings that we are
• Relationships that are satisfying, nurturing, honest, and work all the time
• Work that you love so much that it’s not work, it’s play
• And all the money you can spend.

That kind of prosperity is a lot bigger than just going to work, coming home, eating, watching television and sleeping, right? Well, in my opinion, that true prosperity comes from knowing there is a bigger life that you are designed to live… and the way you get to that larger life is through passion, purpose, positioning, productivity and peace of mind. THAT’S how to create a prosperous life, with a higher level of success in business AND in life!
