The Relationship Between Leadership And Success
Posted by Mandy Swift | Filed under Self Improvement
Leadership demands respect, and respect has nothing to do with ‘like’. It took me a long time to realize that ‘respect’ does not have to go hand in hand with ‘like’ and, similarly, ‘leadership’ does not have to go hand in hand with ‘telling people how to do something’. Rather, it has everything to do with empowering them to do things for themselves.
To be a leader, we need to first start respecting ourselves. We need to are absolute best at home and at work and give both of them the level of respect that they deserve. Quite simply, we can not expect respect from others if we don’t respect ourselves.
As a child, we naturally assume that our parents will be our leaders. At school, we look to our teachers to be leaders. As adults, in every single one of our daily transactions, there is an expectation of leadership from one person or another.
We expect the boss to lead the company. We expect the shop assistant to lead us through our purchasing decisions. We expect the bank clerk to explain the state of our finances and to lead us through our financial transactions.
Every day we expect leadership in others. What then of the leadership we expect from ourselves? If we expect those around us to be in leadership for us, shouldn’t we shoulder some of the responsibility of leadership too? Shouldn’t we expect ourselves to also be a role model?
So, the next time you find yourself getting frustrated whilst standing in line at the bank, or cussing the traffic warden for leaving a ticket on your car, ask yourself this - Are you a good leader for others in every area of your life every single day?
If you are a good leader, congratulations, I have no doubts that your life and your business are thriving at the moment. But if not, before you point and accuse other people, remember that every time we point a finger, three more are pointing back at us.

Culture — How To Make It A Stepping Stone to Global Freedom
Posted by Bob Proctor | Filed under Reference & Education
Culture– what a powerful tool to change your life. Culture is what you call the established ideals, beliefs and values of a particular block of people. There are set cultures in families, one’s workplace and world as well.
Every era have been home to certain destructive parts of a national culture that blocked the way of many who desire to become rich in their monetary and personal lives. Imagine this, only several years earlier, unfair discrimination against groups of people have been allowed to fester in cultures all over the world. The world would be a darker place without moral and outstanding luminaries like Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Amelia Earhart.
It would be an easier life to not challenge paradigms-however wrong we may know it is. Fortunately for the rest of us, the examples of courage these heroes made let us know that it is indeed possible to make a difference; furthermore-use one’s culture as a step up to global freedom.
Reflect on this for a moment: what specific paradigm is influencing an aspect of the culture you want to change? For many it is the idea that it is difficult to become rich and make money in the present economic climate we are experiencing. Don’t consider the externals before the internal. Tap the limitless potential within you and consider stepping into and being a success in the global market.
Write the goal that you have and put down all the associations you have on it as well. If you are planning to build wealth and make money in a global platform then begin looking for international jobs that interest you. Find out how you can make money on the internet. If you are unsure that you can earn money online, find out what the cause of this feeling is. You are in effect, uncovering personal paradigms that needs to be resolved to align with the goals you have.
Ever body has a choice. You can stay a victim of your culture-or use it to boost you to higher ground. When you make money on the internet, you open yourself up to many income opportunities. More than that, it will improve your personal quality of life as well. How so? If you decide to earn money online, you can be working from home instead of the office. Working from home will mean more time you can spend for your family and loved ones.
Study all your options and choose the best one that will allow you to build wealth and give you a quality of life you have always wanted to have. It may not be international jobs or the other income opportunities we talked about here; but it does have to be something you can be passionate about and follow through regardless of the cultures that may oppose your dreams.
Your culture may seem big, but your attitude will make space for you in the world regardless of what comes against you. Remember, you not only can change your life– you can change the world.

Avoid Chaos — Learn To Make Decisions
Posted by Bob Proctor | Filed under Reference & Education
How many times have those “if only” moments come back to haunt you for whatever it is you have or have not done? Too often, we find our dreams lie just within our grasp-if not for the indecisions that kept us from making that all important commitment to follow through.
Decisions are as much a part of living as breathing is. It carries purpose life needs in order to function at its highest capacity. Your dream may be to build wealth or a certain relationship-whatever it may be, decisions can change your life.
Decision-making organizes your mind, which effectively helps to bring you to the course of action you must take for you to reach your goals. It sounds simple until you get hit by valid reasons for not making decisions-take care that it will not hold you back from enjoying an amazing quality of life you can have.
What is indecision? Indecision is the lack of ability to choose a stance and stick to it. People underestimate how indecisiveness can largely impact the way we live. If we are constantly unsure of what to do and how to feel, emotional and mental wars will always cause us stress.
Experts define indecisiveness as being ambivalent. If you have conflicting emotions over a particular matter, it will keep you from taking the necessary steps to carry out your goals. Ambivalence results in unproductive living-a hindrance from attaining the quality of life you want.
If you find yourself in such a state, arrest these thoughts and choose to bring yourself to where you want to be by making a decision or a constant series of choices. If you want to build wealth, then decide on pursuing a path that will help you accomplish that. You cannot change your life if you do not do anything about what needs to be done.
Do not be intimidated by whatever circumstance you may be in. Decisions are not externally determined; it starts in your heart. You can choose to build wealth no matter what the economic forecast may say. Self-awareness and strength of will see you through any goal you want to attain.

Want To Make Money While Staying At Home?
Posted by Cody Scholberg | Filed under Finance
Given the recent economic changes, it?s no wonder that an increased number of people are reorienting themselves towards home-based profit solutions. From less difficult tasks such as paid surveys to online data entry jobs or affiliate marketing, they all have something in common and that is the desire to earn money.
The Internet has something to offer to each and every person, helping them make money while staying at home. You?ve already been informed about a few of the opportunities available; however, you should know that a lot of people have made a profit out of their own shop, selling different products. Others have become successful blog writers and found a service that could be sold over the Internet, generating important profits.
The percentage of home-based profit solutions depends directly on the number of Internet websites. It goes without saying that the more websites appear, the more chances for profits are available to those interested. Affiliate marketing has become a solution with guaranteed benefits, and handsome profits can be made by promoting a website and driving the targeted sector of the market towards that actual resource.
If you?re looking to make a profit whilst working from home, then affiliate marketing is the best thing to consider. You can even get paid just for convincing other people to visit the website, thus covering the necessary traffic. Who would have thought that something as simple as affiliate marketing could bring such important profits? Prepare yourself to receive financial rewards every time a person visits the website, registers to become a member or completes a purchase.
You can always decide to start your own business and tap into the resources that network marketing has to offer. Out of all the home-based profit solutions available, it seems that network marketing comes with the most benefits. Money can be obtained from the sales that you make with your products, a network distributor often being chosen to work with to make more money. You might have heard of this before, multi-level marketing being a business that has helped a lot of people become rich.
You can make money while staying at home and getting paid to take surveys seems like the perfect solution for first-timers. The liberty to choose your own working hours is great and you cannot deny that you do not feel attracted by the profit opportunities. On the other hand, you should know that there are a lot of companies searching for virtual customer service agents. The pay is good, so why not give this job opportunity a chance?

Belief
Posted by Dr. Jay Polmar | Filed under Writing & Speaking
Beliefs determine how we see, interact and feel the world around us. Beliefs are ideas that are formed after repetition and contemplation that are accepted as truth and reality and therefore impact how we see life.
Belief and knowledge are often in conflict. The difference might be subtle, but significant. Knowledge is something that you and others, who might be considered experts in that field, consider to be true and there is reasonable, plausible, and provable scientific explanation for that wisdom.
A belief on the other hand is founded on personal experience or faith.
To many people require you to accept their belief based on blind faith. Belief is not a fact and therefore usually not provable beyond a shadow of a down.
Remember, its wasnt long ago that people believed the world is flat, and that we thought women were witches, hunted them down, and then burned them.
Welcome to belief, which is based on superstitions, or blindness.
Ignorant humans who once believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, and that it was flat. Really demonstrated that what really was FLAT was the human ability to think outside the box and perceive something that others could not observe.
When scientists discovered great things, hundreds of years ago, they were imprisoned, tortured and murdered. The Catholic Church did not want people to see clearly, and therefore stopped the voices of these researchers.
Actually, during that time in history it was thought to be common knowledge that these ancient flat world beliefs were true. Even though humankind was sincere in its ignorant beliefs, those beliefs were false and by not believing as the others told you to, you were subject to arrest, imprisonment, and torture which often lead to death.
Times have changed. Today, things that you believe have changed, and you may believe in something so firmly that you count it as knowledge. When, in fact, there may be considerable evidence from the past experience that a particular belief is a truth,” its only truth for you from your personal experience. Just because you believe it is true, does not make it true. Although it might become a truth for you personally, by believing it you are limiting yourself by holding on to self-limiting beliefs.
The trick is to pull back the veneer and see the real truth. That is one that is universal and does not need to be believed, it just is. These are referred to as universal truths. They exist and work beyond our own self-limiting beliefs. They shape and work through the universe and in our lives.
Gravity is a truth. Believe in it or not” its still a real truth. If you drop something it will fall to the ground. If you trip, and fall, you could hurt your butt. You can only fall DOWN you’ll never fall up.
Now this is only a truth that exists here on Earth under normal circumstances. There are other forces that can resist this law such as a strong wind. You may have been programmed since childhood to conceive things that you thought to be true ” but, once you realized that they were not true, you may have wondered why you wasted time and energy believing in them at all.
Take the case of Santa Claus. You thought that he was real. You believed that by some mystical miracle he went around the world in one night and brought presents to every well-behaved child. You may have further believed that he ate the burnt cookies you left for him and he drank that horrible lactose free milk. You believe that it was all related to your doing good things and not bad things, and that Santa was well, almost like God!
There was potent evidence to your faith:
Your parents told you he was real. (You trusted your parents without question)
The cookies were eaten and the milk glass was empty. Also the crumbs disappeared.
There were gifts under the Christmas tree in the morning.
You saw Santa at the mall, and you had a picture of Santa to prove it.
Your friends believed in him also.
All of this evidence pointed toward knowledge, you just knew he existed. It pointed to a truth in that not only did you know he existed, everyone around you knew also. This belief as you found out was not true. It had shaped your view of the world as a child and still may have a lingering impact on your current belief system.
The point is that there are other things that you may think are true, but are not. You have been told things all your life for a variety of reasons: to make you feel better, to be funny, to hurt you, because other people believed it was true, and for other noble and not so noble reasons. You made the choice whether to believe what was being told you. You weighed this information and decided whether it fit or not into your already existing belief system. You either rejected the idea straight out, accepted it as part of what you already believed, or it changed your belief system.
Beliefs are very powerful, and they do shape our reality. If you believe in something strong enough, it becomes real in your life. There is a universal law that states that likes attract like. If you believe in something strong enough it not only becomes your reality, it attracts similar things to your life.
Suppose you believe you are clumsy. Your parents said you were clumsy, your coach as school did and so did your friends. They told you that you were an accident waiting to happen. You thought this to be true. Your whole life you tripped over your shadow. Not only did you believe this, but you also created that reality and circumstances of being clumsy.
Examine your beliefs and draw back the veil. Well, Ill be. They seem to have repeatedly hypnotized me to trip myself up — all my life” well, Ill be! And, then” you dont have to be! Its all your belief.
