Self Talk – It’s ASTONISHINGLY Powerful

I have very few regrets in life, but one of them is that I did not realize early in life just how incredibly POWERFUL words are. Words spoken out loud. Words spoken to yourself. Words spoken over people. Words you hear. Words you read. Words you assimilate as a child and as you are socialized. You and I have an shockingly powerful ability to impact both the world around us and what we believe by the words we speak out and the words we allow to influence us. Please allow me to share a personal view:

Overcoming Our Mental Barriers

I was raised in a conservative household where my Dad worked full time and my Mom worked part time. My parents never owned businesses or rental properties while I was growing up and so I never thought about business or real estate or being an entrepreneur. In hindsight I think that if I had been exposed to these opportunities when I was growing up, I would have made the transition to business, real estate and entrepreneurship in my teens or early twenties.

Making Money as an Author

I am blessed to be an Amazon #1 Bestselling author. But… - there is something about us authors! We are often reluctant to allow ourselves the luxury of the thought that we can make money from our hard work! Plumbers don’t have this problem, office workers don’t, and construction workers don’t. But somewhere along the history of writing it has become accepted that we should spend hundreds of hours creating a wonderful book and then be delighted with a few crumbs in return!

Paper Books are DEAD – and YOU can profit!

Paper books are DEAD. Traditional publishing is dying and you do not want to have anything to do with it. You have just 5 years left to buy a paper book on the main street. You have just 7 years left to go to a library and borrow a paper book. I love paper books too, and I am sad about their demise. But I have romantic thoughts about steam trains too; - but they are GONE! Scary Video I don’t want to scare you – but I am going to – in this short video are some VERY scary statistics about paper books and how few copies authors are selling. Watch this short video now:

Failure – It’s a Good Thing

Did you know that statistically the people who are the best at anything have had the most failures? Let’s look at an example. If you are a reasonable skier you can go from the top of a run to the bottom without falling over. But if that is all you do, you improve very slowly. If however you push yourself to go faster, turn more quickly, do slalom and try jumps you will wipe out many, many times. It is only by trying new moves and failing that you improve. The same is true of just about any endeavor.

More Money (It's a Good Thing)

More Money means more choices, more activities and less stress. Most people associate their time with their ability to make money i.e. “If I work harder I will make more”. We have to stop thinking like that and start to recognize that the best way to maximize making money but minimize time spent is to: • Plan everything out at the start. • Spend some time at the beginning. • Make money for a long period thereafter without putting in any (or very little) time. Let’s take three simple examples:

Is Your Life an Excitement Machine?

You know, I still get mad when I think about the thousands of hours we spent at school, and yet we were never taught about success in life. Remember the ongoing joke at school where you would be working on some crazy math problem with brackets and you know (x + y)/z etc. And we all knew that its application in the real world was zero! Or when your English teacher tried to teach you how to “subjugate a verb”!

Overcome Obstacles and Succeed

Every person faces hurdles and obstacles. It’s just a part of life. What stops us is that we often give up in the face of life’s challenges. Success always involves coming across obstacles and working out how to overcome them. There are many obstacles to achieving our dreams and wonderful lifestyles. Some people: • just don’t know how or where to start; • chase money instead of their passions; • don’t go after what they most love doing; • forget their calling; • dreams get buried by the busyness of life; • settle for second best; • just follow the crowd, and react to life;r

Time - Your Most Valuable Resource

Time is your most valuable possession. More time means more fun, more recreation, more money and more options. Below are Three Critical Tips for getting more time and therefore more “Life” out of your Life! Everything you own now will either be rust or dust or be owned by someone else in 100 years time. Think about that! Therefore you don’t actually “own” anything; in effect you are leasing it. The one thing you do actually “own” is your time. Time is the most precious commodity you have. Unfortunately it is a diminishing resource so you must use it wisely.

Live to Serve

Serving others means more satisfaction, more contribution and a better life. Learning to serve others is difficult for most of us, perhaps especially men. We are often taught to be independent, to go out and get what we want for ourselves. But serving others seems to be a law of nature that confers huge benefits on the person doing the serving!

Overcoming Fear

Living without fear means acceleration, speed and endurance in achieving your Lifestyle goals. Everyone has aspirations and dreams they want to achieve but many people don’t follow through because of fear. There are three main fears that stop people from achieving the lifestyles they want: 1. Fear of Rejection Take the classic example of the guy who meets a beautiful girl. He really wants to ask her out but the fear of rejection is too strong and he misses out. Another example is writers who write stories or books but they never submit them for publication for fear of rejection.

Passive Income

Passive Income means more time, more cash and more options. You could say the Holy Grail of maximizing the ratio of income earned to time expended is passive income. In its simplest form passive income is when money comes in regardless of whether you are asleep, on vacation, or in a coma. Its close cousin is semi-passive income which is when money comes in all on its own but you have to do a little bit of work now and then to keep it coming. Some examples of purely passive income are: Interest on bank deposits or similar; Dividends on equities (stocks);r

The Secret to Success

The times in my life where I have experienced the most success (and therefore the most enjoyment) are when I have focused my energy, worked hard, and persevered when it wasn’t working. I used to practice my guitar four hours a day when I was 20 because I wanted to be a Rock Star. I didn’t get to be a rock star but my band made money and we had a great time. In my honors year at University my car was always the first one in the car park in the morning and the last one left at night. That is the reaso I was successful.

Real Assets

Real Assets mean your wealth compounds and grows – without you working for it! I was trained as a Chartered Accountant (CPA) and I still hold that qualification. I also have a first class honors degree in Accountancy. So you could say I was well qualified to give advice on accounting. However, what you are taught in: • School accounting classes; • Small business classes; • University accounting classes; • On the job accounting and book keeping; is almost exactly the opposite of what you and I need to know about our own personal finances.

Finding Your Soul Mate

Finding the right person to share your life with is probably the most important decision you will ever make. Here are the key factors in giving yourself the best chance of finding and staying with a Soul Mate and life partner: 1. Understand Yourself You cannot hope to find the right person if you don’t know who you are and where you are heading. Invest time in finding out what really makes you excited and holds your attention. Work out what you believe and why. Until you get to that point, don’t dream of making a life-long commitment to someone else! 2. Understand Your Partner
