We Have Been Duped

Robert Kiyosaki and his infamous book Rich Dad, Poor Dad lays out the reality of how we are being taught wrong concerning money. We are taught from birth to be slaves to money and society is the jailer. We need to start thinking outside the box that the world has kept us in.

I am quite offended on how we are trained to be obedient little workers bee's and conform with the status quo. To go with the flow. Everyone I know that works a job they hate complains about never having enough money. They get behind on their bills. They are devastated if an unexpected expense comes up. Why? What is it that separates the haves and the have nots?

Why do we live like we do? Ultimately it all boils down to being a choice so why do we choose to not live the life of our dreams?

Crazy right?

I Am A Rock - I Am An Island

Entrepreneurs are a breed of their own. 

While many people fantasize about breaking free from their 9-to-5 to be their own boss, few people actually follow through. This is because the entrepreneurial lifestyle might look great from the outside, but is filled with speedbumps, challenges, and plenty of stress.

The entrepreneurs who are successful on this rocky road, however, share a few traits in common. Thinking like an entrepreneur means leaving the beaten path and going off in new directions. It means leaving behind the fear of the unknown, because from now on, the unknown is where you’ll reside.

The entrepreneurial life isn’t for everyone. While you might dream about saying goodbye to your boss for good, the stresses of starting your own company solo might be worth a little annoyance to keep your day job.

A worker bee can kick back and relax, but entrepreneurs have to keep their eyes on the future at all times. Like a shark, they can never stop swimming or they’ll die.

I would like to build a network of entrepreneurs, whether you are just starting out or are a seasoned vet - CONTACT ME NOW!

A Look Back At January 2014

Part of my "Success Journey 2014" is accountability and closely monitoring my progress. As I look back I want to give myself a pat on the back for what I have accomplished and also for what I have yet to accomplish.

Change - REAL and TRUE change - takes time and massive effort of concentration and focus. Knowing full well that it CAN NOT be accomplished overnight. I have been conditioned for WAY too many years to think and react certain ways that have not taken me in what I want my life's direction to be but I have learned specific ways to change that direction.

I am excited about what is to be!

Mindset Matters (Revisited)

Mindset Matters

Sometimes it may feel uncomfortable to change.

Change can be where your biggest breakthrough’s are in life and business. Be ready and open to step out of your comfort zone. Don’t look for the negative in change, look for the positive.

Do you spend time with people who affect your mindset?

You may have also heard that your income is dictated by the people you spend time with. A mindset of a millionaire is different, they think differently. Surround yourself with big thinkers, positive people and entrepreneurs that have already reached a goal you are aiming for.

Are you looking back at past experiences that may of been negative in your life? Your beliefs determine your behavior. Change your beliefs so you focus on goals and look ahead. It’s almost impossible to move forward if you are stuck thinking about something negative in the past.

If you look at the word “attraction” at the end of the word is action. There has to be a balance between mindset and action. As you start to take action resources will show up in your life. Your vibration and confidence will begin to rise. Taking action shows that you are confident in your projects.

What is your purpose?

What drives you to get up early in the morning and go to bed late at night? Deep down everyone has a purpose. If you are not sure what it is, you need to find it. Everyone has some unique gift. What are you passionate about? Also, you must limit your excuses. It’s one of the biggest success eliminators.

Don’t look at change as bad, change is good. Be careful at what you spend your time thinking about. Make sure you are taking action daily. Even if it’s small steps, be consistent. Lastly, find out what your purpose is and focus all of your energy on it.

Remember....Mindset Matters!

Contact me for details on how I can help you change your mindset. This is not some weak attempt to sell you on an opportunity, it is a network of like minded folks that Im putting together to help each other.

What Are You Thankful For?

As we enter my second favorite time of the year, I find myself reflecting on the past year, as I'm sure a lot of you are.

Last year about this time I found myself in a life situation that was to be a stepping stone and I was ready to take that "next step" and move forward. I had no clue as to the how's or when's but I mentally made that commitment.

And then DISASTER STRUCK!

My family - my wife and dog - woke up to find our apartment was waist deep in flood water from some storms that devastated much of Illinois. We literally  lost EVERYTHING except what we could carry out while in shock at 3 AM.

And then something magical happened.

Friends, family members and even strangers reached out with their love and support. I was deeply humbled by their kindness and generosity and we survived a horrible life event. It renewed my faith in mankind and it also showed me the power of people and social media. It also broke me out of some tunnel vision thinking. It changed my life.

So as I sit down to our Thanksgiving meal this year I am thankful for of course family and friends but I am most thankful that I made a decision to improve my situation. It didn't matter that I had no idea as to what I was going to do or how I was going to change things. I made an inner commitment and NOTHING was going to deter me from that.

AND I am thankful for the coming year because I have made ANOTHER decision. And this one is a doozy. All I can say is STAY TUNED because I will do some GREAT things in 2014.

Because I made the decision to.



The morals to be learned for this story are:

1. I made a conscious decision to change my life
2. I reached out for help when I needed to. I wasn't embarrassed to accept the guidance of people.
3.I must ALWAYS exercise my decision making muscles

I recognize that I am more thankful this year than I have been in a very long time.

So make a decision. Drop me a line. Friend request me on Facebook. Together let's make 2014 a prosperous year in all area's of life
