Mind Movies to Create Your Own Destiny

Create your own destiny with mind movies!

Oh my, this is incredible…

I just saw this interview of a guy from Australia that
could change the way you manifest anything you want
into your life. You really do have to see this:

mind movies


You see, he figured out this powerful way to tap into the
Law of Attraction that practically guarantees
you’ll get whatever you want.

And the surprising thing about it is it is SUPER easy to do,
you can start doing it right now…and here’s the really cool
part…

*****************************
He’s GIVING it away! ForFREE
*****************************

He obviously understands abundance, because he’s
practicing it in a very big way here:

mind movies

So what is it about Aussies anyway? They seem to totally
have this figured out, especially when you consider that
the land down under is where we got…

***********************
The Secret
***********************

I’m sure you’ll agree that was life changing all by itself.

And now, this guy has added another dimension to the
Law of Attraction that ramps up how fast you can manifest
anything you want into your life.

**************************************
This makes the Universe say YES even faster!
**************************************

He even got marketing expert Frank Kern excited about it.
If you haven’t heard of Frank, well, he’s a marketing genius
who makes millions of dollars online. Everything he does
seems to turn to gold.

But he’s not exactly what you’d expect when it comes to using
The Law of Attraction to manifest your goals and desires.

You’ll hear his personal experience with this when you
watch the video:

mind movies


So, if even HE is doing this, what does that tell you about
how effective this is? Bad news for the naysayers who think
it isn’t for “regular” people, or the Law of Attraction is some
kind of mumbo jumbo.

So if you’re really serious about increasing your power to
manifest anything you want into your life super fast,
you need to check this out right now:

mind movies



I’ve already started using this, and I strongly recommend
you do too.

Create your own destiny with mind movies!

P.S. I’m extremely excited about this, because it could
literally transform your life. So be sure you share your story
with me when you start doing this, OK?

Leaders Take Action

Ready, Fire, Aim!

The number one reason people don't achieve the success they want is not because of the lack of time, money or knowledge. Ii is because they do not do anything.
Others get started and don't give it enough time and quit, sometimes only days from success.

If you are going to start something at least follow through with some action plans so you don't get known for being a quitter.

Also it is not good for your self-esteem because you will feel like you never get anything accomplished.

Set a goal right now to do something, even if it is a small thing.

Don't wait for perfect circumstances. They never come. Just do it!

Ready Fire, Aim!

You've Got What You Got Because You Did What You Did

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

If you are not satisfied with what you have in life, doesn't it make sense that you need to do something different?
If you want to change something in your life, you gotta change something in your life.
That is where a mentor or success coach can help you.
If it seems like you are going round and round the same mountain over and over then it is time to have someone look at your situation and give you their opinion of what you might do differently.
I don't know how many times I was doing something and not getting results and my mentor might have made a simple suggestion and if I listened to him , I got better results.
Even just a simple "do what your doing but do more of it "might have helped me see definite improvement. Sometimes I was just like a cat chasing a tail doing something ineffective or not necessary.

You did what you did to get what you got, so if you don't want want you have you must do something different.

Leaders Read - Free Download of Think And Grow Rich


Download a free copy of Think and grow Rich by Napolean Hill. free download

"Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich" is regarded as a classic on success and achievement - with good reason - millionaires credit their fortunes to the principles he outlines in this book.

I don't know if you are familiar with the story behind Think and Grow Rich, but I'd like to take a moment and explain it so that you can appreciate exactly what this book offers.

Andrew Carnegie, the Scottish steel industry tycoon, was the Bill Gates of his day. Not only was he rich beyond imagination, he was said to have more millionaires working FOR him than anyone else at that time.

Obviously, to get that rich Mr. Carnegie must have been in possession of a fair bit of knowledge that the rest of the world wasn't.

After revealing the secret of his success to Napoleon Hill, who was at that time just a boy, the canny old Scotsman asked him if he would be willing to spend 20 years or more preparing himself to take that secret the rest of the world...

Thank goodness for us, Napoleon
Hill accepted that assignment.

Napoleon Hill set out to find a practical formula that average men and women could use to generate wealth, happiness, and overall success.

In order to do this, he interviewed over 504 successful people including:

  • Henry Ford
  • Thomas Edison
  • Theodore Roosevelt
  • John D. Rockefeller
  • Dr. Alexander Graham Bell
  • Wilbur Wright
  • Charles M. Schwab

Can you imagine being able to sit down and chat with these people about how they achieved all that they did? To be able to spend even 5 minutes with any of these fellows would be priceless. These men are now -- quite literally -- heroes.

Napoleon Hill was able to extract these great men's philosophy on life, their tips for success, and their advice to others. The product of this research is now known as Think and Grow Rich."

Leaders Criticize With Encouragement

Praise and then criticize.

We all have to correct and/or criticize people almost on a daily basis, especially if we have kids! Before you blast them with your criticism, praise them for something good they have done first.

You might want to ask a question before you critcize them or preface it with a statement.

Examples:
You know how much I love you, don't you?
If I could share with you something that ......
We are glad to have you on our team and we see alot of potential hidden inside of you......
If you could do this alot faster would you like to know how?
If I could give you some advice on one thing you need to be more relatable to people would you like to know what that is?

Think how much people need encouragement. People are criticized more often than they are praised. You can make a difference in someone's life with positive encouragement.

Praise and then criticize.

Leaders Know Primary Motivation Factors

Do you know your primary motivating factor?

There are 2 primary motivating factors:

  1. Pain
  2. Pleasure
Pain motivates you to get away from something.
Example: Look in your checkbook. That should be painful enough to get you to do something.

Pleasure motivates you to do something. Look at your dreams list and imagine you are in your dream car. What make, model and color is it? Can you smell the new leather? Can you hear your Bose stereo system? Do you see yourself in the driver's seat?

Pain motivates you to get away from something. Pleasure motivates you towards something. Pleasure motivates you more frequently than pain.

If you enjoy eating a piece of cheesecake, pleasure might motivate you to eat it everyday because it makes you feel good and you enjoy eating it. However you are going to gain weight, so don't indulge yourself everyday. If you do, then the pain of the extra weight gain will have to motivate you to stop eating it.

Do you know your primary motivating factor?

Leaders Don't Procrastinate

If you can do it today, don't put it off until tomorrow!

How many times do we sabotage our success by procrastination?
What are the underlying reasons that so many people procrastinate?
How many things do we do haphazardly because we ran out of time to do them right?
How much money does procrastination cost us in late payments and extra interest charges?

Successful people have learned to conquer procrastination. It takes 30 days to break a habit.
Why not pick one thing you procrastinate with and do it?
Make a decision to pay your bills on time and avoid the late fees, or empty your kitchen sink before you go to bed.

If you can do it today, don't put it off until tomorrow!

Leaders Don't Make Excuses

Making excuses will kill your momentum.

If you allow yourself to make excuses you will never get your goals accomplished. There are over 1.000.000 excuses and we have all made plenty of them.

We are experts at making excuses because we have been doing it all our lives. Just ask any school teacher! I'm sure they could write a book about the excuses they have heard about why homework was not handed in.

We go through school making excuses and excuses will stop us from achieving what we want if we do not change our thinking.

The excuses we tell ourselves are the very worst.

The next time you start making an excuse, stop and replace it with a powerful excuse why you should do something, instead of why you are not going to.

When you are going to watch TV before you read your book for the day, tell yourself you are going to read your book because it will help you learn, and it will help you earn, and it will help you grow. What is watching TV going to do for you?

If you keep telling yourself why you can't do something, you will never get it done. You won't be able to create momentum. You will create inactivity instead.

Making excuses will kill your momentum.

Leaders Create Momentum

You can have momentum or excuses but you can't have both.

Momentum smashes through obstacles.

A small snowball rolling down a hill gets bigger and bigger as it goes and eventually you won't be able to stop it.

If you create momentum and keep focused you will become unstoppable.

The biggest momentum killer is inertia or inactivity.

Inertia starts an never ending cycle of despair - depression- unaccomplished goals - low self esteem- total failure.

I have been there-done that- and I got the t-shirt and the battle scars to prove it!

Life is so much more exciting when you have big dreams and you are focused on them. It is even better when you are plugged into a personal development system and have a mentor to keep you on track.

You can have momentum or excuses but you can't have both.

Leadership Is Believing It Can Be Done

You have to see it and believe that you can do it and then come up with a plan to get it done.

Once you "see it" accomplished in your mind, then you will be able to believe it can be done. When you believe it can be done, then you must map out a plan of how you are going to accomplish it.
If you don't come up with a plan, you won't ever get it done. You must have a plan and focus on the results. If you don't have a plan, you will get distracted and and "forget" all about your goals and dreams.

You have to see it and believe that you can do it and then come up with a plan to get it done.

Leaders See The Impossible And Figure Out A Way To Get It Done

You have to "see it" before you can "do it".

Leaders look at the impossible and "see it" completed before they believe they can "do it". If you don't look at the end product of what you are planning to do, you will never do it because you won't believe it can be done.

One thing I have noticed about the leaders and mentors I work with is they all believe the impossible can be done, and because they believe it can be done, they get it done.

Remember Henry Ford? He told his employees he wanted a V-8 engine designed. They told him it couldn't be done. He told them to design it or he would replace them with engineers that could design it. Guess what? That was the motivation they needed to "see it" and after they saw it they designed it.

Wealthy People Think Differently

What is the difference between a millionaire and a hard-working employee?

For one, the millionaire probably owns his own business and has employees working for him.
Millionaires put their pants on the same way, they just put more expensive pants on. They live in nicer houses, travel the world, eat better food and have an unlimited shopping spree because they THINK differently than we do.

They don't sit around watching TV or wondering what they are going to do next.
They get information from books and cd's and they go to seminars. They are constantly working on themselves because they know if they are not growing they are dying.

Many millionaires will talk about reading a book that changed their life. Some refer to a speaker at a seminar that got them to change their thinking. Others talk about a cd program they listened to.

You can't change your thinking unless you change what is going in your mind.
That is why I am so excited about the personal development and leadership I am involved with.

Leaders Are Proacative, Not Reactive

How you react to a situation will determine the outcome of the situation.

If you are going to be a leader you must be ready to handle anything at a moment's notice. Things constantly change on a moment's notice. That's life.
How you react will determine how everyone else deals with the situation.

One example I heard recently is from a speaker who was planning to use his wife's van to come to PA to speak at a leadership seminar. The day before the trip, they found out the garage made a big mistake and could not have the van ready to go in time for the trip.

The speaker could have reacted negatively and canceled the trip or he could react proactively and find a way to make it happen. Fortunately he is a man of his word and he didn't even think of canceling. He found another vehicle to come out.

How you react to a situation will determine the outcome of the situation.

You Must Have Some Audacious Dreams

You must have outrageous dreams to make any dreams come true.

One thing you must do if you are going to move forward in your life is have some wild dreams. I mean dreams so big that people that know you will think you are crazy! You need to write down what your ultimate life would look like if you could live your wildest dreams.

If I were............
If I had..............
If I were doing......

then I would be profoundly happy and fulfilled. My life would be complete and I would consider myself a success.

What car would you drive?
What house would you live in?
What habits would you break?
What would you do with your life if time and money were no object?
What inspires you or excites you?
What are your biggest dreams?
If you want to be famous, what do you want to be famous for?

Don't hold back. Write everything down.

Some people put their lives on hold because they can't figure out what they want out of life. Meanwhile, life passes them by.

Don't let this happen to you.
If you can't think of anything, commit to thinking about it and write something down.

What are your wildest dreams?

Seriously, if time or money was no object what would you be doing right now? Don't
be afraid to post what you want! It will put your mind one step closer towards figuring out how to get it!

I will share my wildest dreams with you, but you have to share yours with me!
I have huge dreams, but what I want you to know is they are all based on Zig Ziglar's principal - If you help enough people get whatever they want in life, you will get whatever you want.


Financial freedom is a big dream. I would love to have as much money as it takes to do whatever I want to do anytime, I want to do it, anywhere in the world.
I will admit I have wanted a Mercedes Benz since 1985. I still don't have one, but it has been my dream car, and I will have one someday.

We are on our 4th pre-owned Cadillac, but someday there will be a new Mercedes sitting in front of my dream home which will cost $3,000,000 to build. I can see my dream home in my mind.
I am constantly writing more things down that I want in it.

My other wildest dreams include being an internet millionaire, being a famous songwriter with Dove awards for my worship songs, and being a best-selling author with people lined up waiting to see me. I want to be a leadership coach and mentor to thousands of people. I want to speak all over the world teaching leadership skills. I also want to speak all over the world telling people how Jesus has set me free from the chains that bound me.

Leadership Is Personal Development

A personal development program is not an option.

If you want be a leader, a life coach or a mentor to someone then you must be involved with a personal development system. How can you lead others if you let your own brain or leadership skills get stagnate?

The personal development system I am personally involved with has the minimum requirements as follows:

  1. Listen to at least 2 cds a week.
  2. Read a leadership development book at least 15 minutes a day.
  3. Attend a leadership development training seminar monthly.
Of course, you don't have to do everything, but if you really want grow this is what you need to do.

Would you go to a doctor that does not keep up with ongoing developments in health care? I don't think so!
What about the mechanic that bought his tools five years ago and never picked up a new auto mechanic manual since then? He would be out of business quickly.

You have to stay involved with the latest trends in your field and that includes personal development and leadership training.

If you are looking for a life coach, ask them this important question!
What personal development system are you personally getting your training from?
If they can't give you an immediate answer and tell you about it and who they are learning from.... RUN!

A personal development program is not an option.

A Successful Leader Must Think Outside of the Box

A leader has to change with changing times.

One thing I have learned over the years is a leader must think outside of the box. You can't just say we have always done things this way, so that's the way we will keep doing it. Most of the companies that went out of business probably said the same thing at one point. A leader must change with changing times.
You have to move with the changing current. The boats rise with the tide.
Remember a popular soft drink slogan in the 80's, "Catch the Wave"? Well if you don't catch it you are going to miss it.
There are still a lot of companies that don't have a presence on the web, and they are missing out on business. I never reach for a phone book. I always look in Google for what I need. I don't even own a phone book. They take up too much space to just sit around.
Take network marketing for example. What worked for the networking giants for 40 years definitely is not working now. The companies that keep doing the same old marketing strategies are struggling because they won't think outside the box.
A good example of thinking out of the box is some of the newest innovative network marketing or MLM companies. There are several companies that will allow their distributors to market their products on the internet. This is a very important point to consider before joining any business! Social networking and internet marketing have become innovative ways to reach millions of people on the internet. However, many companies still don't realize we have stepped into the information age, and they prohibit distributors from advertising on the internet.
Many companies are even setting up holding tanks so if a new distributor signs up online, they have an alloted time to specify which leg they want them on. Also, many new companies are setting up their structure that if a person goes off autoship and loses their points, they lose their position and their downline that is on autoship will move up. That is really thinking out of the box!

Is It Important Or Or Is It Urgent?

What can you do in the next 15 minutes that will take you closer to your goal?

One of the hardest things for me has been getting sidetracked with stuff that needs done, but it really isn't going to get me closer to my goals.
It seems like I always have a gazillion things to do, but which one of them is really going to help me reach the goals in my life?

One thing I love to do and I am very good at is selling on ebay. I love to buy at yard sales and sell the stuff on eBay. I love taking pictures, writing the descriptions, uploading the auction and watch the bidding wars start and end!
I took pride in my auctions and to satisfy my personal best I put time into alot of detail. I uploaded 10 pictures for 1 item, and a description about the slightest detail.

I made a lot of money doing eBay, but it was a the expense of having a personal life, family time, time to devote to my personal development and life coaching business, etc. I also had a very disorganized house, messy and cluttered,but clean. People kept telling me it was not worth it, but to me it was at the time.

Finally I closed up my eBay store because we were doing a total remodel on our house for at least 6 months, inside and out. After we moved back into the house, I had no desire to get started again.
Maybe after I get closer to other goals and have more free time, I might list a few high ticket items now and then, but not spend hours and hours of my life doing it.

Why am I telling you all this? Because I was making money, I thought I was doing good. When I looked at my goals, I was way off. I was doing what I wanted to do, not what I needed to do.

Now before I do something, I ask myself:
What can you do in the next 15 minutes that will take you closer to your goal?

A Mentor is a Friend For Life

A mentor is only a phone call away.

A friend sees you as you are, and does not try to change you, but a mentor loves you too much to let you stay the same.
When my husband had a heart attack in 1998, the first calls I made were to our mentors. I knew they would pray for us, and help us make important decisions.
I actually went to a leadership training seminar the day after his heart attack. I figured I could sit and cry all alone all day or at the hospital, or I could go to the seminar and stay focused on what I needed to do, since I would be the only one making money for awhile. It helped to be around my mentors and people that loved us. After the seminar, several people went with me to the hospital and hung out with me.
We have been through some pretty severe financial struggles and we could always count on sound advice from our mentors. We could also count on them telling us to get off the bench and get on the team. They don't mince words.
We could either look at all that went wrong with our life, or get back on track with their help. One thing they never did was join our pity party. They always got us refocused on our dreams.
They never felt sorry for us and paid for our next seminar, but we knew they were expecting us to be there.
We did what it took to never miss anything, even when we were short on income. They didn't take our excuses and we don't take other's excuses.

Who Do You Associate With?


You Can't Work Hard Enough to Overcome a Negative Attitude.

No matter how hard you try, you can not maintain a positive attitude if you are constantly hanging around people with a negative attitude.
I personally had to quit hanging around my family and friends as much as I was, because I was constantly being told I was a dreamer and I live in a fantasy world, etc.
I heard the negative from them on a constant basis, and I could not wait to get to a weekly workshop or a monthly seminar with like-minded people to get around my mentors.

It has been said that if you list the incomes of the 5 people you associate with and average them together, you will be able to figure out how much your income is.

Personally, I would like to hang around 5 millionaire mentors on a consistent basis, because they think differently than me, and I would not mind having their income, either. When I am around my mentors, they encourage me and help me raise the bar. They tell me I can have whatever I want in life if I am willing to help other people.

The sky is the limit. I have super-sized dreams because my mentors have super-sized leadership and coaching ability.

Sorry, but I can't afford to hang out with the 95% crowd any longer. I need the constant positive energy from my mentors.

Mentorship Is Priceless

The biggest mistakes I ever made, I made on my own.

Personal mentorship is probably one of the greatest benefits from being involved in a personal development program.

I know so many mistakes I have made would not have been made if I thought to pick up the phone and call someone and ask for their advice. Mistakes that have cost me thousands in business.

We can call our mentor who is a very successful entrepreneur, and counsel with him about almost anything in almost every area of our lives. We have discussed so many things over the years about business, family, spiritual, relationship, financial, etc. issues.

We have gone to them after we made some big mistakes and they helped us, but the question is always, why didn't you come to us before you did this. I guess we were being stupid.
Why make major decisions on your own when you have somebody that really cares about you, and has your best interest in mind?

If they can't give us an answer they are quick to tell us that, and they will go to their mentor and get their advice and get it back to us.

How many people will ever have this kind of opportunity in their entire life? Not many!

Another thing we did already was to ask their opinion and still go with our first decision, and once again it cost it a lot of money, because we didn't listen to their advice.

We have finally learned our lesson and we do not make any major decision without at least a phone call to one of our mentors first.

One thing that is important is we know who their mentors are. It is important that your mentor has a mentor. If they are accountable to someone, they will help you make better decisions.

I have heard that it is better to learn from other people's mistakes, rather than learn from your own. I believe that advice is so true.

The biggest mistakes I ever made, I made on my own.

Why Attend A Leadership Seminar Every Month?

Associate with like-minded people at least once a month.

One thing I heard all the tine growing up is "be careful who you hang around with."
Why? You become like the people you associate with.

We are exposed to so much negative that we really do need to get with a positive team of winners to get refueled.

No matter how much you want to accomplish, no matter how big your dreams are, no matter how motivated you think you are, you still need to get with a crowd of excited, fired-up people who are hungry to learn and keep growing.

My husband and I have been involved in an on-going leadership development program since 1991. We were young when we started our first company, a water treatment dealership. We had no clue about business or how to deal with people. We struggled but we were successful. One thing I learned early in business was I could learn a lot from the other dealers.

We went to every seminar the company had, every dealer meeting, sales meeting, management school, etc. I even went to every service meeting and learned how to work on water softeners so I had more knowledge talking to customers. At the breaks and lunches, I always drilled people for their marketing ideas, service policies, advertising strategies, etc.

When we had a opportunity to start going to theses monthly leadership seminars, I jumped at the chance. I looked forward to every seminar. I was anxious to learn from other leaders and hang out with excited people.

After dealing with customers and employees all month, it was a breath of fresh air to get in a positive atmosphere.

Associate with like-minded people at least once a month.

Reading A Book Every Month Keeps You Growing

A book can make a difference in your life.

I can not wait to get the book of the month from our personal growth and leadership development provider.

A book can change your thinking and when you are thinking right, so many things get better in life!

I love to read. I always have. I love the fact that I am reading a hand-picked book that the world's foremost leaders
and my mentors are reading also. I don't need to go to the bookstore and waste my time searching for a book, spending a lot of money, and realizing the book was of no value to me at all.

We often had employee meetings to discuss the books and tell them exciting things we learned. We even gave our employees books to read and tapes to listen to.
I even took time with my secretary and we did a book study together. I was actually paying her to study a book with me. It was A More Excellent Woman. I saw her change little by little before my eyes. We set goals and worked on things together. I watched her blossom and she became more enthusiastic. That book made a difference in both of our lives!

In addition to the book of the month, I also get cds and other books every month for spiritual growth. I support several ministries monthly, and some of them send us a cd every month. I also purchase alot of cd or dvd series on subjects that I want to dig into.

Don't forget to read your Bible, even if you only read one verse a day. Even 1 verse a day will get you through 365 verses. That's more than most people read.
I find that even reading 1 verse a day will get your day started off on a better track than if you don't read it at all.

Sometimes my plan is to read a verse or two and before I know it I have read several chapters, just because I couldn't put it down. There is a lot of good stuff in there, and the more you read it, the more you will want to read more.

I like to read the Bible that has the words of Jesus in red. If I'm in a hurry, I will read His words. It's like He is speaking to me. It always seems that no matter what I am going through at the time, that what I am reading that day will apply to me.

A book can make a difference in your life.
