I am excited about my prosperity product that is now available to everyone. I created this product for my own personal use and I loved it so much that I decided that other people could probably benefit from it too. It is called Prosperity Wristbands and it is seven wristbands, each with a unique affirmation and color. You wear one wristband on your left wrist each day of the week. It comes with a comprehensive Prosperity Wristbands Guidebook that explains the affirmations and colors in detail and gives proven techniques for creating more prosperity in your life. The initial response has been terrific! I am very grateful.

I started a blog on my Prosperity Wristband’s site. I thought I would put my recent post from there on here. I will probably be writing more about prosperity as that has now become my passion. I am not just talking about money. I am talking about elevating our consciousness to create more prosperity in all areas of our lives including finances, health, relationships, work, etc.

Here is my article entitled, The Gift of Giving:

The holidays are a time of year when people get into the spirit of giving. We feel good when we give to others. I believe that it is our highest purpose to be of a giving mind-set. There is a Universal Law of Giving and Receiving and it simply means, “when we give, we receive.” Our highest good comes from serving and giving to others.

One of the fastest ways to create a prosperity consciousness is by developing an Attitude of Giving. Give great service with the work that you do, give great love to your relationships, give unconditional love to yourself, give (tithe) to organizations and people that provide you with spiritual nourishment, give your time to those who can be inspired by your presence, and give your commitment, attention and focus to strengthening your connection to the Infinite Power and God Force that exists within you.

The more we replace the “take and have” way of living with the “give and be” way of living, the more happiness, health, security and prosperity we will experience in all areas of our lives.

I love to talk about investments. I love a finding something undervalued and investing in it and then making money. Who doesn’t? Late last year I watched Apple stock go from $190 per share to $80 per share in two months based on health rumors about the CEO, Steve Jobs. I knew, at this price, the stock was a bargain. All I had to do was walk into any Apple store during the holidays and see how packed it was. I bought as much of this stock as I could and it trading at around $200 today.

I love a great investment. Over the years I have figured out the best investment that we can ever make. No investment in any stock, fund, business or real estate comes even close to this investment that I am going to write about. This investment will pay a return more than a thousand times greater than the best stock tip or other physical investment. This investment is the kind of investment that can change people’s lives very quickly on all levels, not just financially. Are you ready for the greatest investment tip that you will ever receive?

The greatest investment tip that you will ever receive that will yield the greatest return that you will ever get is to invest in YOURSELF. Yes, that’s it! YOU are your greatest resource for creating happiness, personal freedom and financial abundance. In order for YOUR investment to pay returns, you have to invest your time and energy into getting clear on your purpose and your vision for your life. You have to create a plan for achieving your vision, and most importantly, you have to get out of your own way so you can achieve it.

Investing in yourself is taking time every day to be in gratitude for what you have, to contemplate where you want to go, and to celebrate the successes in your life. It is taking time every day in self-reflection and getting clear on your goals and action plan. Investing in yourself is making your own personal development your priority every day before you do any kind of work. It is meditating, thinking and writing. It is visualizing and spending some time listening to your Inner Guidance.

Investing in yourself first sends a powerful message to the Universe that you are a deliberate Creator of your life. Investing in yourself is setting the table for your success first with your mind-set and then backing that up later by taking action, not the other way around (which is ways of the masses). When you invest in yourself and your own personal development every day, you will begin to see positive results very quickly and you will be building a strong foundation for consistent joy, bliss and abundance in all areas of your life. You will be living your life on purpose. Are you ready to take control of your life?

I just got back from a conference in Puerto Rico related to my personal development business. I had the privilege of hearing three amazing Adventurists share their story of overcoming their circumstances to survive against all odds and then go on to achieve greatness in their lives. There was a common message from all three people – Life Happens Now!

Life is about making the most of every moment. The gift of our life is the gift of time. What is time? Time is the present moment which we get to experience right here, right now. We only have the present moment. The past is history and the future is nothing more than the present moment. The future is Now. There is no light at the end of the tunnel unless we shine our light right now in this very moment.

We can chase happiness or we can choose happiness right now. We can chase our dreams or we can create and manifest our dreams right now. We can hope to feel better next week or we can choose to feel better right now. We can hope that our financial situation gets better next month or we can choose to make it better right now. It is all about the Now.

All of us have the opportunity to live our lives fully in every moment. A Great Life is a life of seizing the moment and molding it and shaping to joyfully create our desired experiences. What is a desired experience? It is a pleasurable present moment. Isn’t amazing that we only have the present moment? What we think, feel and do in this present moment determines whether we are going to be happy or sad, rich or poor, nice or mean, healthy or sick, in love or out of love, etc, etc. etc.

I would be remiss if I did not mention that a Great Life is also a fulfilling life that comes from taking every opportunity to make another person’s life better. When your dreams are bigger than you, you become a shining star on the world all around you. Dare to dream big and make the world a better place. When you enrich the lives of others, you are also enriching your own life. Happiness is always connected to the spirit of service and giving.

How do you feel right now? How would you like to feel right now? Then choose to feel that way right now. Don’t Worry, Be Happy! Are you ready to live your Greatest Life Now?

Most people go through life Playing Not To Lose rather than Playing To Win. The successful people in life are always Playing to Win. Playing to Win is a choice. Playing to Win is a mind-set. How do we get the mind-set of Playing To Win? We often have to let go of past conditioning. Most of us, from our earliest childhood days, were taught that failing is a really bad thing. Playing Not To Lose is about playing it safe. It is defense rather than offense. Playing To Not Lose is being afraid to fail.

A perfect example of Playing Not To Lose can often be seen in sports. One of the teams has a stellar offensive performance for almost the entire game. However, not wanting to lose, they change their game plan to a defensive one with only a few minutes left in the game. As if it was written in the stars, the team that was down all of sudden garners some offensive life and the next thing you know they make the winning score. It happens over and over again.

Our society is so conditioned that failure is bad. You didn’t get the job, you are a failure. You didn’t win the game, you are a failure. You went out of business, you are a failure. If you look at people who achieved extreme greatness in our world, almost all of them had some major failings in their life. If you ask them where they had the most growth in their life, they will always say it was from their failures. I know this to be very true for me.

The failures in my life have added so much richness to my life. I have learned so much and it makes the Wins that much sweeter. It took me six business attempts to finally succeed in business. All my previous failures taught me some valuable lessons about succeeding in business. For me, failure is taking a step backwards in order to have the momentum to make that giant leap forward.

Whatever you are trying to achieve in your life, it is worth doing a self-assessment to see if you are Playing To Win or Playing Not To Lose. Is there anything holding you back from achieving your big dream? Is there any past conditioning that you need to let go in order to succeed? What beliefs do you hold about winning and losing that might be preventing you to take that big step forward?

When you jump to the side of Playing To Win, life is exhilarating! You feel so good and you are so happy and proud of yourself. You grow and expand and you eventually achieve all those experiences you have been craving to experience. Life becomes fun! You are no longer one who sits on the sidelines. You become the Powerful Creator of your Life!

Here is a great exercise to break free of the mind-set of the masses – do a 30-day media fast. This is one of the most powerful things that I have ever done for myself. I used to be addicted to some reality shows on television. I got enjoyment out of watching them but that was about it. It was time wasted in moving me in the direction that I wanted to go. I also used to read two newspapers everyday cover to cover.

If one is paying attention to the media of the masses, the unconscious outer world, they are getting a lot of their energy from there. Most of the energy in the media is nothing more than negative, hyped and horrific spin on what is really happening in the world. We all know that we get what we focus on and energy flows to where attention goes. When we align our attention with something for more than 17 seconds, our vibrations start to move in the direction of what we are focusing on. If we are focusing on negative energy and information, guess where our vibrations go?

Being a deliberate creator of our lives is about focusing on our inner world, our vision and our desires. It’s about putting our attention and energy there and taking right action to move in the direction of our desires. It’s about always looking for ways to “feel good” so that we can attract those things that we want to us.

After I did my first 30-day media fast my life was changed for the better and forever. I stopped watching television and I stopped reading the newspapers cover to cover. I had so much more free time in the day to focus on creating my ideal life. My income increased just from avoiding the negative media. Now, that’s an easy way to make more money!

Make a conscious decision going forward to spend more time focusing on your inner world. Get clear on your vision for yourself and put all your focus there. Avoid the negative media. Ask yourself, am I being a positive receiver allowing the good to come into my life? Doing a 30-day media fast is one of the fastest ways to shift your vibrations to attracting what you want. Give it a shot. You will be glad you did.

All of us have aspirations, goals and dreams. I like to refer to them as desired experiences. What we cherish more than any physical thing or goal is the experience of the thing that we want. When you win the race and get the nice big trophy, you put the trophy on your mantle. You really don’t care so much about the trophy itself as you do reliving the experience of winning the race. Whenever you glance at that trophy you get right back to those wonderful feelings and emotions of winning. That’s what it is all about.

When you want the dream house or the dream car, you really want the experience of the dream house and the dream car. Getting yourself into the feeling of what it would be like to be experiencing what it is you want will go a long way towards manifesting those things. When we are visualizing and feeling the emotions of what it is that we want, we put out the exact same vibrations and energy as if we were actually experiencing the thing itself. It is exactly the same! Science has proven this to be true. The brain patterns are exactly the same in both situations.

The more we get into the positive feelings and emotions of what we want, the more the Universe is lining up the people, places, things and circumstances to make those desired experiences a reality for us. It is worth spending some time everyday practicing what it is like to already have what we want. Make this your priority everyday and then back it up with the action part. This is how you set the table for your success – mind-set first, action second. This is the magic dust for creating what you want.

Another important piece of this puzzle is detachment. It is about the art of allowing. You get clear about what you want, visualize and feel what it is like to have it, and then relax and trust that the Universe will deliver. Do not try to figure out the How. That will only limit you. Let the Universe figure out how and when your desired experience will become your reality. The more detached you are, the more faith you have, the quicker the manifestation. Isn’t cool to be such a powerful creator?

Would you like to know one of the quickest ways to manifest your goals and your dreams? This one is worth a drum roll…….the answer lies in feeling good. What do I mean by this? When we are feeling good we have no resistance to what we want. We are a vessel of pure, positive attraction. The Universe is moving those goals and dreams toward us at light speed.

When we are feeling good we are so in alignment with what it is we desire. Our Inner Guidance System is saying this thing that we want is a match for how we are feeling in this moment. In other words, we know that the thing we desire is going to make us feel good (otherwise why would we want it). We are also feeling good in this moment. So, when our current emotions are in alignment with what it is we desire, the Universe responds in a co-creation to move those desires towards us.

Sometimes just getting ourselves into a space of feeling good is all we need to do to put us over the top with attracting a specific desire. It is like pulling the plug in the tub that prevents the water from flowing. A little tweak here and a little tweak there with our emotions can make a huge impact in the results we are getting on a day to day basis.

Be conscious of your thoughts and feelings everyday. Reach for thoughts and feelings that are positive and move you in the direction where you want to go. In every moment we can to decide how we are feeling. If in a given moment you are not feeling good, know that you can change it on a dime. Energy flows where attention goes. Choose positive feeling thoughts and feelings as much as you can.

Whoever wrote those lyrics for that one Sinatra song, “I’ve got the world on a string…I am sitting on a rainbow…Got the string around my finger…What a world, what a life…”, you can bet they were feeling good at that time and look at the abundance that song brought them. What lyrics are you writing for your life today?

I flew to Washington, D.C. this past weekend to visit family and attend my wife Nancy’s high school reunion. Before I left, I picked up a copy of Dan Brown’s latest book, The Lost Symbol. This book is over 500 pages and I thought there was no way I would be able to finish while on this trip. I was wrong. What an amazing book!

As most of you may know, Dan Brown wrote The DaVinci Code. The setting for this new book takes place in Washington, D.C. In fact, the main character, Robert Langdon, flies into Dulles Airport which was the same airport I was flying into as I started reading the book. “How cool” I thought as I pondered this synchronicity. I do not want to give anything away here so I will be very careful about what I write.

This book is about the secrets that our Founding Fathers knew and lived by and how they hid certain information that would eventually be revealed and benefit mankind. What I love about Dan Brown’s books is how he keeps you in suspense for the entire book. I never wanted to put this book down once I started reading it. The other cool thing about his books is that, in many instances, you do not know if a certain part is fiction or non-fiction. He really gets you to think which is a really great thing.

I believe this book is going to do a lot for the personal growth of the masses in our country. I never thought that Dan Brown would have a significant impact in the area of spiritualism and personal development. This is now my all-time favorite “fiction/non-fiction” book. If you want to a book that you cannot put down and will open your eyes to some amazing information about our country’s history, run (don’t walk) to your nearest bookstore and get yourself a copy. You will be glad you did!

In my last post I talked a little bit about the Be, Do, Have principle. I would like to expand on that a bit. The first step to changing our life is getting clear on where we want to go. The next step is finding the easiest, quickest and straightest path to getting there. The answer can always be found within – it is who we are Being in any given moment.

Most people go through life and react to their circumstances around them. It’s all about the Do. We do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do all day long. The formula for the masses is Do, Have, Be. Take action (Do) and hopefully you will Have some success and then you can finally Be that person you have always wanted to Be. Does this scenario remind you of anyone?

To live our life on purpose is to depart from the ways of the masses. It means doing things differently then everybody else. It is getting on a core level that we first must Be the person that we want to Be. When we are Being the person that we want to Be, like a magnet we start to attract the results that we desire in our life.

The thoughts, feelings, decisions, beliefs and action we are taking while Being the person that we want to Be are attracting like results back to us. The Universe works in complete harmony and in a perfect co-creation with us. It is called the Law of Attraction. Likes attract likes and what we focus on expands. What we put out comes back to us.

Your desired experiences will be in your lap before you know it as soon as you start to Be the person that you want to Be. A great exercise is to project yourself out to your future self and experience what it is like to have already achieved what you want to achieve. To do this, close your eyes and project out to the estimated time that it will take you to achieve your goal or desired experience. You have achieved this desired experience. Put yourself in the feeling of your future self. What kinds of thoughts are you thinking? What is your perfect day like? What beliefs do you hold? What decisions are you making and what action are you taking as this person, your successful future self? Spend some time in this space. When you are ready, slowly bring all of these thoughts and feelings from your future self back into who you are Being today. Be this person right now!

When you Be this person (your future self) now, you will Do what you need to do now so that you Have the results that you want now. It sounds simple and, you know, it is simple. It takes the same amount of effort to Be someone that you want to Be as it does to Be someone that you do not want to Be.

I am excited to be penning my first post on my blog. It is my intention to inspire you to reach your full potential with your life. Science has now caught up with the spiritual world to acknowledge that we are all part of an infinite quantum potential. You can call it God, Infinite Intelligences, Source Energy, Universe, etc. We are all part of this Greater Power and all of us can shape and mold this energy in creating the life of our dreams.

Have you spent time getting clear on a vision for your life? If we do not know where we are going, we may experience things that we do not want to experience. A great exercise is to get out a piece of paper and write out your perfect day. What would your perfect day be like from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep? If money were no issue, what you be doing everyday of the week?

If you are unclear about your vision, spend time in quiet reflection. Spend time getting connected to the essence of who you truly are. When you spend time connecting with your Inner Guidance, you will start to get a clear vision as to what is important to you and what you want to create in your life. Most people go through life reacting to their circumstances everyday. Living on purpose means to know where you are going and to know that you are paving the way. It is about being “at cause” over your life rather than at the effect of the world around you.

My priority everyday is my personal development. Before I start my day, I am doing some meditating, affirmations, reading and writing in my journal, contemplating my goals and creating the vision for my greatest life. I know this is where I set the table for my success. The action that I take, although it is very important, is secondary to my mind-set. It is about Be, Do, and then Have. You Be the person you want to Be, then you take the Action, and then you Have the results.

When our vision is clear, we then want to align our thoughts, feelings, beliefs and action with our desired experiences. When we do this, we are Being the person that we want to Be. We are acting as if we already have the results that we wish to create. We are sending a powerful message of expectation to the Universe. Through the Law of Attraction, the Universe delivers.

One of the greatest things that I have learned is that we are in a co-creation with this infinite power. The weight of the world does not have to be on our shoulders. Our job is to get clear on what we want, and then find the place of trust and knowing that the Universe will bring us our desired experiences. When we can really get into that space of trusting and knowing, we can create our world with ease because there is nothing more graceful than the power of the Universe.
