New Years Resolutions versus Real Life Goals

Here is an article that appeared in Yahoo News and
other media outlets. This is vital success knowledge
and thus us being included here.

By Vic Johnson

Forget New Year's Resolutions - They
Don't Work

Goal setting expert explains real success lies in life plans,
not in making resolutions.

"You can forget about making New Year's Resolutions
if you're hoping for a successful outcome. Most aren't
worth the paper they're written on," says Vic Johnson,
a leading goal setting and motivation expert.

Most New Year's Resolutions have gone by the wayside
before January is over and most won't even be remembered
six months later.

And the reason is pretty simple.

Most are made in response to something negative; a
habit or situation that the person wants to change or
end.

And therein lies the problem - it's hard to develop
momentum from a negative response. It is always
easier to move toward something than away from
something.

Consider one of the most adopted goals --- weight
loss. No one can get excited about losing weight - it
requires deprivation. It's a negative response to
concerns about appearance, health, etc. The results
of weight loss New Year's Resolutions demonstrate
their weakness.

A survey sponsored by Gardenburger found that
more than three-fourths of all women between the
ages of 25 and 54 make diet and weight-loss plans
each year.

Nearly nine of 10 respondents reported only
occasional or no success, while almost half lost little
or actually gained weight instead.

"The people who succeed at losing weight and
maintaining the loss have usually been motivated
by a dream much bigger and more positive than
just losing weight," explains Johnson. "They see
themselves living a healthy lifestyle. They begin
to act and think like people who are in good
physical shape.

"There's more of a radical change in a person's
thinking and actions than you see with most
resolutions. It wouldn't be possible to effect and
sustain such a radical change unless the person
is motivated by a big dream that is positive in
nature."

Another popular aim is to quit smoking. Johnson
himself was a three-pack-a-day smoker until he
celebrated a smoke-free New Year's sixteen years
ago.

"For over twenty years I had tried to quit many
times using every tool and technique I'd hear about.
But as long as I was trying to quit, I couldn't break
the grip.

"Instead, I developed a dream to become a non-
smoker. I fell in love with the idea of breathing
clean air instead of smoky air, of my body and
clothes smelling nice instead of smoky. I thought
about how wonderful it would be to taste food
again."

"I decided to start acting and thinking like a non-
smoker, and when the thinking took hold I simply
quit smoking. In all the years since, I've never
wanted another cigarette, never even thought
about wanting one."

According to Johnson, the best goal to set
is one that calls for the individual to create
a plan for their life based on a set of personal
dreams.

"Most people are in a free-fall through life,
careening from one crisis to the next. If you
were going to build a new house and you had
this idea for a fabulous master bedroom suite,
you wouldn't rush out and start building the
master bedroom. You'd have a complete plan
before you started."

"When you approach resolutions and goals in
the same manner, you end up with a much
better chance of achieving success."

This blog is about wealth building. It is a subject
that most people love to think about but only 5%
actually DO for real. Sad but true.

May be a bit unpleasant to think of, but it is very
much like quitting smoking or getting in shape. It
is not the ONE SHOT IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION
that this lazy society adores. It takes some planning
and work and a lifetime commitment.

So you can take the hard way out and do nothing
and then one day die broke or end up in your best
retirement years with only your shirt on your back.

Or you can decide that you need A LIFE CHANGE
and make a commitment that will improve the
ENTIRE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

Anything worth accomplishing takes some work. So
you have a choice. Start now and you can be wealthy
in 10 years.

Good luck, a happy holiday season to you and wishing
you the best for 2009 and beyond!

Magnetic Sponsoring

Here is one of the most valuable articles I have read on
how to invite people into a program, to build a team, to
build a business or anything similar.

It is the whole subject of how to get anyone to join you
in something you are doing.

It is written by Doug Firebaugh, Chairman/CEO of
Passionfire International (see the end of the article for
more about him).

If you 'hate' or 'dislike' 'recruiting' - read this. If you are
a 'bad marketer', read this! If you can never get anyone
under you in a business or online program, read this!

And start to change your mind! You CAN do it!

And you will simply make 2-5 times as much money if you
do, so just determine to learn this subject.

And remember, the only reason something is 'hard' is
because:

1. you do not understand it (you have likely never
learned it)

2. you do not know exactly how to do it (you have never
practiced it)

Remedy: study and practice, just like a baby learns how
to walk (you have to fall down a bunch of times), how a
bird learns how to fly (do it), how you learn how to tie
your shoes (do it over and over), etc.

NEVER feel stupid because you don't know how to do
something! Ask yourself - where did I ever study or
learn that?

If the answer is 'no where', then get to work!!

You will find more helpful articles here in this blog
on how to do this more exactly.

This puts a whole new light on building a team and
this information IS some of the key information
you are missing -guaranteed!http://www.truewealthathome.com/cemmedia/magnetic_mlm.pdf

Condo Vultures -- Profitable Trend In Real Estate Investment

A hot subject on Google right now is 'condo vultures'.

This is a term and action that has come about for the
incredible bargains that are to be found on condos and
other real estate in the Miami area for example.

Some months ago there were 40 cranes in the air
building condos around Miami. Now there are only
three.

The condos are not selling as expected and
THOUSANDS of condos were repossessed and are
in the hands of banks who need to GET RID OF
THEM at a steep discount (short sales).

People who had put a 20% down payment on these
$400,000 to $500,000 condos are walking away
from their $80,000 to $100,000 investment.

Miami is not the only area where you can pick up
greatly discounted real estate. It is now a BUYERS
MARKET, meaning the advantage is to be a buyer.

This all presents great real estate investment
opportunities if you are savvy as to how the market
works and can capitalize on it.

Check out the following video from FOX News that
explains this with some experts and will give you
some ideas how to capitalize on the trend.

The Success System That Never Fails - W.C. Stone

W.C. Stone became a very wealthy self-made man
earlier in this century.

He, like many others who have become wealthy,
started with absolutely nothing and created a multi-
million dollar business.

The only thing stopping you from doing the same is
that you do not know how he did it, specifically, the
system he created and used.

Well, now you can learn it in great detail and for free.

And you can use it over time and get spectacular
results in your own right, building your own home
based business if you choose or just working from
the comfort of your own home in your chosen niche.

There is a book by this author called 'The Success
System that Never Fails', a classic written in 1962.

I have it in my library and have read it within the
last year. You can get it at Amazon.com for as little
as $2.43.

Better yet, I found on YouTube (free content), a
series of narrated videos that tell the whole story
in the author's own voice! This is really a classic!

It is great content that YOU CAN USE to make
yourself wealthy. The actual wealth building
information and techniques he used to make
himself a millionaire.

Simplify Your Business Strategy

The following was taken from a TriVita newsletter
(modified somewhat for general use).

I feel it applies well to any home business you may
have or that you may want to start!

During this time of economic change, it is important
to have a solid business strategy in place.

And that includes having your own business working
from home. THAT is your certainty and safeguard in
these unselttling economic times!

Consistency is key while focusing on your business
goals.

A simple strategy:

Talk to ten people every day – either face to face,
exchanging your business cards, sending video
(or other) e-mails or contacts by phone.

Ten contacts per day results in fifty per week.
(working your business 5 days per week)

Fifty contacts per week may result in five new
customers per week or 20 customers per month.

(Editor sidenote: or even if it results in only one
new customer per week, you would have 50 new
customers per YEAR and that is growing your
business very well!

With 20 new customers per month, you may
develop 2 new Business Affiliates (business
builders under you) that can help expand
your business!

Work smart, work consistently, and follow-up in
24-48 hours!

And remember, the most important thing is building
long term relationships with people who trust you to
help them with your products or services.

Worried about Your Job? The Economy?

Well, the economy just took another turn for the worse. Or
can we really call it a turn? Another 500,000 plus jobs were
lost last month (November 2008) in the USA, bringing the
unemployment rate up to 6.7%!

If you have been affected by this or you know someone who
has and you feel you may be next, NOW is the time to do
something about it before it is too late.

More and more people are starting their own businesses. Those
who do not have the time and capital to start a 'brick and mortar
'business and starting on-line businesses from home.

Home business is a booming $427 billion industry. In 2009 it will
go out the roof as more and more people catch on.

This can be started in one or a few hours per day in the beginning.
It can grow to a full time income and replace your day job.

There are many ways to work from home but the main things to
know are the following:

0. It is not as hard as you think. You can do it.

1. Find a good home business to join. I can help you with this. And
make sure you join it with a good TEAM under someone you can
TRUST.

2. If you hate selling, make sure there is a way to make PASSIVE
INCOME with the business that you join or start. You would be
amazed at what is available.

3. Be willing to learn about business and marketing as there is no
escaping this learning process if you are to make money.

Clue: learning (self-education) is a lifelong process and all millionaires
spend a lot of time on it! In fact, this is the most MAJOR difference
between them and you.

4. Take action: all the hope and study in the world will do nothing
for you in the absence of some bold action once you have a pretty
clear idea which way you want to go.

Don't try to get it all planned and perfect first. Get it GOING, then
perfect it as you go and as you learn.

5. Tell others what your business is composed of. Invite them to look
into it and join if they want. DO NOT SELL. Put your info out there
and make yourself known and let people come to you. This is called
'attraction marketing' and you can learn a lot more about this.

6. Build lifetime relationships with people who join your business.
This is the secret of businesses that prosper and make a difference
over the long term.

You will profit to the exact degree that you create value and benefit
for others. This is what billionaires know and do that no one else
does.

How To Think Like Millionaire

Before you can start to develop a large income or net worth,
you have to think and act in a certain way and do certain
things.

In order to do those things you have to think the way a
millionaire does, and that is often opposite to how the poor
or middle class think.

Take another step in your thinking transformation process,
putting you closer to a millionaire mindset.

I recommend you read this article by T. Harv Ecker. http://www.mindpowernews.com/ThinkLikeAMillionaire.htm
