The Ten - Day Mental Challenge



Consistency... Isn't this what we're all after? We don't want to create results once in a while. We don't want to feel joyous just for the moment. We don't want to be at our best sporadically. The mark of a champion is consistency - and true consistency is established by our habits.

  This article is dedicated to producing a measurable increase in the quality of our lives.

 This can be accomplished only through a new pattern of taking massive action. The true value to an individual of any new strategy or skill is in direct proportion to the frequency of its use. As I've said so many times, knowing what to do is not enough; you must do-  what you know.  

 In order to take our lives to the next level, however, we must realize that the same pattern of thinking that has gotten us to where we are will not get us to where we want to go. One of the biggest challenges I see in both individuals and corporations is that they resist change (their greatest ally) justifying their actions by pointing out that their current behaviour is what got them to the level of success that they now enjoy. This is absolutely true and in reality, a new level of thinking is now required in order to experience a new level of personal and professional success.

 To do this, we must once and for all break through the barriers of our fear and take control of the focus of our minds. Our old patterns of allowing our minds to be enslaved by the problems of the moment must be broken once and for all. In their place, we must establish the lifelong commitment to focus on the solutions and to enjoy the process. Throughout  this book you've learn't a wealth of powerful tools and strategies to make your life richer, fuller, joyous and exciting. But if you just read this book and fail to use it, it's like buying a powerful new computer and never taking it out of the box, or buying a Ferrari and letting it sit out in your driveway, collecting dust and grime.

 So let me offer you a simple plan to interrupting your old patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving, a way that can help you condition these new, empowering alternatives and make them absolutely consistent.

 Years ago, I found myself caught up in a pattern of frustration and anger. I seemed to have problems everywhere I turned. At that point, thinking positively was not high on my list of solutions. After all, I was being "intelligent"  and intelligent people don't make things look positive when they aren't! I had plenty of people who supported this idea (and they were equally frustrated with their lives, as well!)

INVESTING : Can You Borrow Money to Buy Stocks?

  It seems like an obvious move. We’re in a bull market and stocks are soaring. Interest rates are still near historic lows. If you can borrow money at a single-digit annual interest rate, you should be able to earn enough in the market to pay off the loan and earn a substantial profit. But how does that work in practice? Can you borrow money to buy stocks? And more importantly, should you? Let’s take a closer look. Yes, You Can Borrow Money to Buy Stocks The simple answer to the question is yes: you can invest borrowed money in stocks. It’s a risky strategy. It’s also quite popular, especially during bull markets. Some people have used it very effectively and made money. Others have lost, sometimes badly. That’s the simple answer, but how do you go about doing it? The decision to invest with bor rowed money comes down to comparing the cost of borrowing versus the expected investment returns… If the returns exceed the cost, then the transaction makes economic sense. How Can You Inv...

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

Take control of your financial l future...

Today we will learn about Finance  and the keys to building lasting wealth.  Wealth  today, has become a very critical aspect of our lives.Most of the tensions in life, relationship problems and self-esteem problems is because of  lack of wealth.  People don't see  who or what you are, they see  WHAT YOU HAVE.  We are often judged by our economic status.    We fail to remember that  "Money was made for Man, and not Man for Money".   True, wealth is important, but so also are human values. You may have all the wealth in the world but you may be too old to enjoy it, or you may have a  major illness which does not allow you to enjoy your wealth. Then what use is the wealth?  When we are young, our whole life goes by working hard in our jobs to  create wealth. Then after 30 or 40 years are over we find out that the wealth needs to be maintained so we work more hard to keep our wealth and we ...
