Serenity

I always love the journey of building a successful home business and how personal development is so entwined in this success. I spend time each day study all the different resources out there and have been given a book sometime ago from Bob Proctor. This book is called "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen. When I was given this book it was suggested that I read the last chapter everyday and it is a great practice. This little chapter continually reminds me to calm down, not slow down. When you are calm your creative thoughts can flow freely, this is the power. These thoughts are the money makers and if you want to have a successful network marketing home business then read this chapter each day. So here is the chapter print it and read it every day, I am sure you will find great rewards in this practice.

Serenity – "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen

Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more that ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought.

A man becomes calm in the measure that he understands himself as a thought-evolved being, for such knowledge necessitates the understanding of other as the result of thought, and as he develops a right understanding, and sees more and more clearly the internal relations of things by the action of cause and effect, he ceases to fuss and fume and worry and grieve, and remains poised, steadfast, serene.

The calm man, having learned how to govern himself, know how to adapt himself to others; and they, in turn, reverence his spiritual strength, and feel that they can learn of him and rely upon him. The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Even the ordinary trader will find his business prosperity increase as he develops a greater self-control and equanimity, for people will always prefer to deal with a man whose demeanor is strongly equable.

The Strong, calm man is always loved and revered. He is like a shade-giving tree in a thirsty land, or a sheltering rock in a storm. "Who does not love a tranquil heart, a sweet-tempered, balance life? It does not matter whether it rains or shines, or what changes come to those possessing these blessings, for they are always sweet, serene, and calm. That exquisite poise of character which we call serenity is the last lesson of culture; it is the flowering of life, the fruitage of the soul. It is precious as wisdom, more to be desired than gold- yea, than even fine gold. How insignificant mere money-seeking looks in comparison with a serene life- a life that dwells in the ocean of Truth, beneath the wave, beyond the reach of tempests, in the Eternal Calm!

"How many people we know who sour their lives, who ruin all that is sweet and beautiful by explosive tempers, who destroy their poise of character, and make bad blood! It is a question whether the great majority of people do not ruin their lives and mar their happiness by lack of self-control. How few people we meet in life who are well-balanced, who have that exquisite poise which is characteristic of the finished character!"

Yes, humanity surges with uncontrolled passion, is tumultuous with ungoverned grief, is blown about by anxiety and doubt. Only the wise man, only he whose thoughts are controlled and purified, makes the winds and the storms of the soul obey him.

Tempest-tossed souls, wherever ye may be, under whatsoever conditions ye may live, know this – in the ocean of life the isles of Blessedness are smiling, and the sunny shore of your ideal awaits your coming. Keep your hand firmly upon the helm of thought. In the barque of your soul reclines the commanding Master; He does but sleep; wake Him. Self-control is strength; Right Thought is mastery; Calmness is power. Say unto your heart, "Peace be still!"

This is a great little piece and is a great place to turn when you feel that things are not just the way you planned. Calm and Serene Thought will take you through that time. This is how we are able to create a multiple 6 figure home business.

Doing In A Certain Way!

The hardest and most important work we will ever do is to keep our mind focused in the positive direction of our desired life outcomes.

Once again, yesterday I had the luxury of spending a few hours in airports and on planes. I enjoy this time as it is a perfect way to catch on some reading and reflecting.

Yesterday's gift came in the form of a little book entitled "The Science of Getting Rich". I had read this book a couple of times before, yet like all great works in the field of personal development it is one that must be reread and studied.

It was very evident for me yesterday that the "Doing in a certain way" that is often referred to in the world of personal development, when folks are looking to create wealth, really means first of all to "Think in a certain way." It refers to thinking and believing the truth at all times despite current appearances and our so-called daily reality. This truth is that each and every one of us is meant to be healthy and wealthy in all ways. The invisible supply of the world's goods is limitless. We see the goods manifest as fast as each one of us can receive them and use them.

The following steps can help each of us move towards our desired outcomes:

Step 1: Get clear on what you want. Decide what you want and arrange it in a coherent whole. You must know what you want and want it badly enough so that it sticks in your mind at all times. It helps to make a mental movie of your desired life. The clearer and more definite the picture the stronger the desire will be.

Convey your wants through thoughts. It is by holding the vision of your wants that you impress your thoughts on the formless substance.

N.B. You can eliminate resistance in your attempt to create wealth by quieting your mind. This is often done through meditation. Fabulous books that can help you in releasing resistance are those written by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

Step 2: Come into unity of mind with your Source/God through the power of gratitude. Learn to be grateful for everything that you have and are experiencing now, even the stuff you do not want, as it is there to teach you a lesson. Being grateful every day keeps us in touch with the creative mind. A grateful mind leads to expectation, and expectation leads to increased faith that what we desire is on its way.

Step3: Believe everything comes from one substance. The substance gives us all we want. Again, be grateful and have faith that what you desire is all ready here in the invisible world and is coming to you in the visible form.

Step 4: We must all step away from the competitive mindset and work from a creative mindset in order to create our wealth. We must know and believe that there is enough for everyone. There is no need for someone to have less or to lose in an area in order for us to receive what we want. You can have anything you want as long as it is for the advancement of everyone (no one gets diminished). Your desires must be for a fuller expression of life.

Step 5: Use your will to keep you on the right mental path, on the path of your desires and vision. Use your will to hold on to faith despite appearances. Use your will only on yourself. Keep Your Mind at Home!

I was once again reminded that we lose ground if we permit our mind to dwell on dissatisfaction of things as they are. We need to focus on the best, and expect to receive the best in the physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and financial areas of our lives.

The above suggestions are only a few of the gems shared in this small, yet extremely powerful little book, in the field of personal development, "The Science of Getting Rich."

I am so looking forward to embarking a plane once again, in only a few short days... and I will get back to you with Part 2 of "Doing in a certain way" shortly.

Get A Life -- If You Are Really Willing

Get a Life.

How did you just react to that sentence? Did you find it amusing? Or perhaps alarming? Was it insulting?

Ask yourself this, "what does my response to that sentence tell me about myself?"

And ask yourself whether in fact, you really are willing to get a life?

I've been reading Larry Winget's book Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life. And I have to tell you, it's really beginning to rub off on me.

The world is full of people who are quick to complain about their circumstances and their lot in life. And they're quick to blame everything and everybody around them for the result they're getting, but never willing to take responsiblity for themselves.

It's sad.

It's sad because the world has more than enough victims and so what it sorely needs is more leaders. And the step to taking personal responsibility by beginning to lead yourself is not particularly difficult.

But it does require commitment. It requires commitment to yourself and a genuine willingness to change. As Larry points out in his book, it's the willingness most people fall short with.

You have the ability to change your life for the better. You may even have the desire to change your life for the better. But neither of those things is going to enable you to change your life for the better if you are unwilling to change.

So here's the question to really ask yourself. "Am I willing to change?" Are you really willing to buckle down and do what it takes consistently, day by day, in order to create the change you want in your life?

Here's the good news. Assuming the answer is "yes", there are some tools that can help you.

Firstly, Buy Larry's book, Shut Up, Stop Whining, and Get a Life: A Kick-Butt Approach to a Better Life. It's a great reminder and it's written in a no pussy-footing around style which is very refreshing and effective.

Secondly, there is a brilliant self study, personal development program you can buy that teaches you a daily recipe you can follow in order to get a life -- that is the life you really want. It's called Beyond Freedom and it has helped transform my life in a profound way. So learn how to get a life by visiting http://www.InspiredAbundance.com/beyond-freedom.htm

It's so easy to whine and complain about our lives. And it's the rare individual who is prepared to take personal responsibility and begin to lead him or herself to a new life. It's the rare individual who is willing to step out from the crowd.

So which are you? Are you willing to step out and change your results? If you are, then do something -- take one action step right now today that moves you in the direction you'd like to go. And then take another step again tomorrow.

So now it's time to ask yourself the key question. Are you ready and really willing to get a life?

Remembering to Lighten Up and Have fun

With the help of two great conference calls in the last 24 hours, I was reminded of a crucial element of business; taking the time to have FUN, and making the tasks enjoyable.

Having been a serious, detail oriented person for the majority of my working life ( AKA - suffering from intellectual constipation :) ) I appreciate being reminded to let go and choose the Fun path. One of the elements to practice in order to sustain a positive healthy mind set is to take time out for laughter and humor. I remembered once again that laughter, and fun are part of a healthy mindset. Any time I get too rigid about anything, even if it is something for my own good like exercise and time spent learning, I end up being too attached to a particular outcome. This can also lead to feeling a burden on my shoulders and carrying around a sensation of heaviness. This feeling or vibration also gets communicated to others when we are doing business. People are already overburdened and overwhelmed, they certainly are not looking for more of the same.

Most of the things that occur in our life are there to teach us a lesson. I loved it when I heard, "We will probably be laughing at this same stuff in 3-5 years from now, so why not laugh a little now." I was especially grateful for being reminded that sharing laughter after a lesson learned, lets the individuals be more in balance. It can prevent adopting a false belief around the situation or adding to negative programming.

Jessica Rush on the Wake Up call showed me that I could take this same principle and apply it to my goal setting. We are all aware that if we do not know what we want out of life we are not likely to get it. There were times where I have made goal setting serious rather than fun. I too have followed many steps to get exactly the correct wording or the right pictures for my dream board. I could relate when Tony shared about going to a quiet place to sit or in his office behind closed doors, to do this goal setting. It need not be this way.

I am choosing to have more fun and just FEEL lighter.

Have yourself a joyous and prosperous day!

What is meant by detatchment?

Frequently I have heard successful people in the industry of network marketing speak about being attached to our goals, but being detached when speaking to prospective clients and business partners.

It took me a while to understand and grasp this concept, but then a friend shared the following with me and I was able to get a clear picture.

Let's say you the business owner is Person A and your potential client Mary is Person B. When you have finished sharing the information with Mary, if you choose to mentally and emotionally "stand there" then Mary has no space to move forward. Once you have finished being the informational tour guide, you need to let go which means get out of the way emotionally and mentally. Mary will then have the breathing room and space to do her thing, till she can make a decision one way or the other if this network marketing opportunity is right one for her. This is one way of viewing detachment.

When prospecting we can think of the pipeline theory. Our job is to stand at one end of the pipeline and to expose the potential clients to the information. By the law of nature when you have exposed enough people to your opportunity and put them through the pipeline, some folks will start falling out of the other end. Standing at one end of the pipeline only is another way to be detached. You need to take yourself out of the equation once you have put them through the system.

Some business owners expose people to their opportunity at one end of the pipeline and then quickly run to the other end in order to coax the prospect out or worse yet, drag them out.

So by simply being an informational tour guide and then getting out of your prospect's way as well as your own, you will create wealth more rapidly.

Taking Time to Reflect and Assess

September is really the New Year for me, much more so than January. This long weekend, I took some time just to sit and start assessing this past year. It was my first year working full time from home. I decided to be a full time entrepreneur, in the belief that it would move me faster toward my desired life.

A few months earlier, at the dinner table, my then 17 year old son Rémi, interrupted the family conversation, looked at me in the eye and said, "You are always encouraging others. When are you going to take your own leap of faith?" Needless to say, it can be a little unsettling to have your own children call you on your stuff. He knew what he was talking about, as he had participated in some personal development conferences with me, and had internalized great information.

Shortly afterwards, I left the world of formal education, after 24 years. WOW, what a change it was for me! Throughout this past year I did go through moments of feeling that I was not busy enough. At times, I even felt guilty for spending so much time taking care of myself, diving into my personal development programs, and just enjoying life. There were moments of self doubt and wondering what I had done.

You see, I left my day job not knowing how everything was going to turn out. Now that required a real stretch for me as I was an analytical type. I took a leap of faith and believed that the net was going to appear. And, it has. Did everything turn out like I wanted it to? Certainly not! However, the rewards have been tremendous.

During the past 12 months, I have gotten to know myself and my family at a much deeper level. My husband and I have been able to have a deeper connection and chart out our desired future. I have been more present rather than rushing from one activity to the next, and having continuous mind noise.

My sense of gratitude for everything around me has grown by leaps and bounds. More and more I am in a state of awe, and I am also realizing that everything material was first a thought.

My sense of personal responsibility has increased greatly, though that has not always been comfortable. I have had to accept that it is o.k. to ask for help.

I am now walking around with a greater sense of knowing, and a deeper trust of self. I have been able to shed more layers when it comes to other people's comments and opinions. I am aware of my own personal power. Yet, sometimes this power still takes me aback. More and more I know who I am. I realize that personal growth is something that must be experienced and cannot only be read about. Concepts must eventually pass from the intellect to the heart and to the gut level. Believe me, the Universe in its kind and compassionate way, will always offer you the circumstances that you need in order to learn the next lesson.

My self esteem and self confidence have increased. Being decisive is easier. My mind is becoming more anchored.

I am more comfortable and excited to share my opportunity with others because I know what I have my hands on and what is possible. I know personal growth is the foundation piece required to Being, Doing, and Having what we each want. Some folks choose to play it safe, because playing it safe does not bring up your own stuff. One can sweep it under the carpet for the time being. That is O.K. However playing it safe was not my choice. One of my joys is watching my husband and kids go forward with personal growth, ask questions, read, and do their own discovering. This personal growth is ongoing and we never fully arrive. There is always another level at which we can grow, expand, and lead a fuller expression of life. Rather than being discouraged by that, I now find this provides excitement and gives me HOPE.

Everyday I remind myself to Breathe and Breathe deeper, and to go forward believing the bridge will appear as I walk on.

Super Saturday, Las Vegas

Hello one and all,


Roland and I got back from Vegas on Tuesday and we just had a blast.
Super Saturday was definitely SUPER! We learned a ton, met some great folks and
saw what is possible for us, here at Liberty League.

Those of you who know us, know that I am the one who works the business with Roland's total support. However, in Vegas, Roland realized WHY his attendance (and the attendance of spouses) at these events is important.

Roland got to put faces to the names he continuously hears of. He enjoyed getting to know our team mates.

Roland got an even deeper understanding of the compensation plan, with Brent's presentation.

He thoroughly enjoyed the speaker Larry Winget, and his no nonsense approach to life and business. Roland found the anecdotes amusing and refreshing.

Furthermore, together we both got clearer on our individual and common goals, and
we have restarted the Beyond Freedom program.

Coming home and sharing what we have seen and heard on an individual basis, can never compare to actually being there together!


Make it a joyous and prosperous day!
