Why Your Networking Is Not Working
Does this sound like you?* You're spending way too much time trying to network online and are on networking overload.* You're trying to keep up with all the threads that relate to your business in all the social networking groups you've joined.* You're also monitoring all the discussion lists you're on looking for an opportunity to jump in and share your pearls of wisdom with the others on the list.* You're afraid to keep track of the hours you spend in online networking because whatever the number is, it's way too high.* You've just gotten an invitation to join yet another social networking group and while you're very flattered, you realize if you join one more group in an effort to network your way to a full client roster, you won't need any new clients because you'll be out of business* You're spending so much time trying to master online networking that you've totally neglected the face-to-face networking that has been working for millions of people for centuries. (Come on, how do you think people built their businesses before the Internet came along?)I mean, seriously, how much time can you afford to take

Beware Industry Association Leaders Who Act Like Bureaucrats
If you own a small or medium sized business and you believe that by joining an industry association they will some how help you, then you might be rather upset in the future to learn that your association acts more like a bureaucracy than an actual business operation. Some say that organizations and associations act like bureaucracies in order to deal with the government bureaucracies better. This might be so but;Anyone who thinks that an Industry Association somehow helps the little guy, well they simply do not understand how all this really works. First thing you need to know is who is funding the association? Who are its members and who is paying its bills? If you have service vendors to the industry paying its bills then you need to be very careful, because these companies make money off the regulations in place. Parasite companies if you will - Insurance, leasing companies, on-going education firms and lawyers.As a case study, let's take a look at a Trucking Association for instance and specifically let's look at the Illinois Trucking Association and their various Premium and Gold Star Members. We find insurance agents, publishers of regulatory c

It is time to stop being so serious and have some fun with the universal Law of Attraction, also known as the Law of Belief.

In simple words, this Law states that "you get exactly what you believe", "it is done unto you as you believe", "be it done unto you according to your faith", "your deeply held beliefs are materializing your reality"."you materialize on all planes the subconscious beliefs held in your subconscious mind".

Let's see if we can share some light on this Law and winning the Lottery.

(1) Some state there is no such thing as LUCK. That is their BELIEF. These people have no luck at all.

(2) Others keep repeating this sentence preached by so many gurus and so called experts: "Luck is the intersection of preparation and opportunity". These are the ones who want to impress people with the HARD WORK they NEED to perform

in order to achieve their goals. They glorify working real hard, struggling against all odds, and all that NONSENSE. They just don't know any better. The idea of things being EASY and even FUN never crosses their minds. Their BELIEF is that they must work real hard for anything they achieve.

(3) Then, there are those who are just plain LUCKY. They keep winning in contests, bingo games, raffles. They always get parking spaces right in front of the places they want to go to. Happy events keep materializing in their lives without them really making any efforts whatsoever. People who know them keep commenting on how LUCKY they are. That reinforces their beliefs that they are LUCKY. And they keep getting LUCKIER by the day.

If you analyze those three examples, they all have ONE common factor: BELIEF.

The first group BELIEVES there is no such thing as LUCK. And that is exactly what they get: NO luck.

The second group BELIEVES that by preparing themselves opportunities will appear. They prepare themselves because they BELIEVE opportunities will appear to those who are ready and prepared. And these opportunities DO appear as they BELIEVE.

The third group BELIEVES they are lucky. Therefore, they BELIEVE good things happen to them all the time. And they do happen since that is what they BELIEVE.

Interesting, they are all getting results according to their BELIEFS. That looks TOO MUCH like the universal Law of Attraction, also known as the Law of Belief, at work -- giving each group what each group BELIEVES.

Changing focus a bit, this is a true story about a fellow I know. I caught him once sitting in front of his TV checking the winning lottery numbers. He kept always saying that he would make millions winning the Lottery.

A friend of his decided to have some fun and asked him "John,

I always hear you saying there are only three ways to make lots of money. Refresh my mind. What are they?"

John replied, "You can make lots of money by (1) inheritance, (2) having your own business, and (3) investing in real estate, stock market or commodities. There is no other way.".

His friend laughed and made the following comment, "Then, why do you waste your time and money playing the lottery? You BELIEVE there are only three ways of making lots of money and the lottery is definitely NOT one of them. You'll NEVER win".

John gasped and said "My God, you are right".

John was trying to achieve something his own BELIEF does NOT allow him to accept..

Based on what you read so far, there are two prerequisites to use the Law of attraction i order to win the lottery: (1) BELIEF that you are super LUCKY and (2) total and complete BELIEF that you will win, not just partial belief.

There are many who constantly 'poo-poo' the idea of playing the lottery. These people do NOT understand the Law of Attraction. They also have very limiting beliefs that the ONLY way to achieve goals (like making lots of money) is ONLY through hard work, making lots of sacrifices, working really hard, long hours, fighting against all sorts of odds, lots of struggles.

You should look at playing the lottery as just another type of investment. Think of real estate, stock market, commodities and lotteries as simply different types of INVESTMENTS.

Because that's what the lottery is:: just another way of investing your money and time. This investment takes very little knowledge and time, and you could get a huge rate of return the EASY and FUN way.

IF you totally and completely BELIEVE you will win, you SHALL. Otherwise, the universal Law of Attraction (= Law of Belief) does NOT work or has exceptions.

The ONLY roadblock is in DEVELOPING the complete, total and absolute BELIEF that you are going to win.

Now, let's see what it takes to totally and completely BELIEVE you shall win.

All your beliefs, values and rules must be aligned and there must be NO conflict among them.

In all lotteries, mention is done of the ODDS of winning. It is 1:35,000,000 or 1: 50,000,00, and so on. The truth is that there is only a 50/50. You either win or you do not win. There is no other result. As long as you believe there are ODDS you have to deal with, then, you do NOT believe 100%.

if you are going to use the lottery as another INVESTMENT, be aware of your beliefs about it and any conflicting beliefs, values and rules you might have.

Let me give you a few examples so that your job will be easier.

You most definitely MUST come to have the complete, total and absolute belief you shall win.

But, you may have all sorts of conflicting beliefs. Examples

- it is real hard to make money

- it is better to give than to receive

- I am not lucky

- I was never lucky

- I never win/won anything

- The odds against me winning are too high

- I believe in the odds

- it is very difficult to win the lottery

- If I win, I will have to pay lots of taxes

- If I win, I will lose my privacy

- If i win, many people will ask me for money

- If I win, my family members may be kidnapped for ransom

- If I win, I will be forced to learn how to manage money

- If I win, (write here your own beliefs)

You may also also have conflict of values/rules:

- Money is not that important to me (you will never win if you think this way)

- I'd rather be honest that rich

- Money isn't everything

- Rich people are dishonest and mean

- If I win, I will become like those crooked rich people

- Having lots of money is evil

- Easy money is NO good

- Easy money has no value (Easy comes, easy goes0

- Only working hard to make money has merit

- Getting money the easy way has no merit

Being Self-Employed - Is It All That It's Cracked Up To Be?
Ok, Here's the question. Is being self-employed all that it's cracked up to be? Ask anyone what they think about people who are self employed and I will guarantee you that the first response will be that they are all "rich". Yup, it's true, every self employed person is rich or suppose to be, baloney! Now, ask that same question of a dozen self-employed entrepreneurs and I bet you that you will hear twelve different responses.Before working for the "man", I was self-employed on the East Coast having owned 4 small businesses; not all at the same time, thank the Lord. Being self-employed has it's pros and cons, ups and downs, good days and bad days etc. I was responsible for making sure that my employees made an income. I was responsible for my making and income and providing myself with Health Insurance and vacations. There was no one there when I was sick to answer the phone to tell them that I was taking a sick day as I had no sick days! I had no paid vacations as when I was lucky enough to take one, it was my own paid vacation and if i shut my business down to take the vacation it was also a loss of income for that period. When days were good I wa

know them keep commenting on how LUCKY they are. That reinforces their beliefs that they are LUCKY. And they keep getting LUCKIER by the day.
