The Art of Influence

Okay if you want to grow in life you must read and put what you read into action. This week was all about the parable. I read 3 different ones, and all were outstanding in their own right. Today were going to talk about "The Art of Influence, Persuading Others Begins With You." I love this story about a graduating college student who gets to spend a few days with a billionaire. His grandmother was the billionaires nanny when he was a teenager. He is so excited that he gets to learn lessons about life from a billionaire. This is a great book that just needs to read. It's an very easy read and you will loved it. This book is hard for me to review only because it is so good. I will give you one excerpt from the book that hit home with me. "For now, know this. If you want to attract people of vision you have to be a person on vision. If you want to attract people who are passionate, you have to be passionate. If you want to attract people who are fair and honest and positive, you need to be fair, honest and positive." So you can see with messages like that this book should be added to your library if you are serious about growing. Enjoy this one, Way to go again-Chris Widener.

Giving is the Secret...

I just finished reading two of the best books ever written. Okay, so I'm a little biased.... they just happend to touch me in such a profound way. The books are called "The Go-Giver" and "The Go-Givers Sell More". I bought "The Go-Givers Sell More" first not knowing an even better gem exsisted. As I was reading and getting more excited with every page I knew that I had to read "The Go-Giver". I read half of it in the book store before buying it and finishing it at home. So much wisdom in 132 pages of pure gold. The testimonials for the books come from great people. I want you go and order a copy for yourself and buy 5 more to give away to your best friends and maybe some not so close. The go buy "The Go-Givers Sell More" and digest that one and give those away as well. I believe your life and the lives of others will change "FOREVER" Go read it for yourself and then post what you think. Apply what you have read and I think you will be amazed how simple it is to be successful. Thank you to Bob Burg and John David Mann for writing two amazing books. I really appreicate you and just wanted to share.

Watch out for the Gotcha's

I highly recommend the book Whale Done! The Power of Positive Relationships, by Ken Blanchard. It shows us why we must accentuate the positive and not the negative. It's written in story form and based on how killer whales are trained at Sea World. When you are trying to train a killer whale you don't really want to focus on what they're doing wrong. They focus on staying positive and rewarding them with food and affection when they complete the right behavior. So why do we as people always want to find faults? Stroke our own ego, and make us feel better. Why do adults love doing that to their children? Just think about this for a minute, if your Child had the strength and size of a killer whale would you treat them the same? I don't think so.... so why do we? If you want to change behavior, start focusing on what they are doing right. The littlest thing will make the difference. How many times have you crushed your child's spirit? Stop reading this right now and go find your quite place and think about all the times you crushed your child's spirit and you will remember I can assure of that. Ok, I'm glad your back and I sure you feel bad. Good news, you can fix that by finding all the times you can say well done. The book called it Whale Done, get it. So start finding the good in everything and watch how much easier your life becomes. Think big and you will live big by finding the good in everything.

You are what you think!

Over the past year I have read several books on the subject of how our mind works. What I have found out is that most people choose to live with the herd. What do I mean by that? People don't think on their own, they follow the crowd and forget why they even do what they do. Ask anybody why they go to work. Answer to earn a living. How many people are actually following their passion in life? Not too many, most fell into the work their doing and have not figured out how to get out of it. A recent survey stated that over 50% of Americans hated what they did and hated who they worked with and who they worked for. So why is this so, because people have chosen  to sit and veg in front of the TV. The late great Jim Rohn said that formal education will get you a job, and self-education will make you a fortune. So how do we take control of our minds? First, you need to stop reading the newspaper. Second, stop watching the local and national news. You are now thinking how do I stay informed, trust me on this, you will have plenty of people watching and reading for you. When something important happens somebody will ask you if you have heard about such and such. You will feel much better when you do this and your attitude will change. The news is designed to be negative and to draw you in, it serves no purpose. So go to your local library and pick up a book to improve yourself. Just think how much you can change your life with self improving. In my next post I will give you some suggestion on what to read..... Okay, here is a classic must read ..... Think and Grow Rich .... By Napoleon Hill... So throw out the news papers, turn off the TV and Read to Grow... To your Success

Do your ENDS meets!

Sometimes I wonder why we like pain so much when it comes to finances. Did you know that in United States, the average family has more that $10,000 in credit card debt. That figure does not include car loans, student loans or personal loans. Did you know that 3-1o people have never sat down with anyone to figure out what they will need to retire. So I ask the question, do your ENDS meet. You are probably wondering what I mean by that. Do you run out of money before you run out of month, if you do, then your ENDS don't meet. What do you do to fix it? First your just like a business, either you have a revenue problem or you have a spending problem. Don't worry most people have both. If just have a spending problem that is easy to fix, if you can't pay cash for it you can't afford it. Pretty simple is it not. Second, admit that you have a problem and work to solve it. Not sure who to turn too, You can watch Dave Ramsey on Fox Business and check out his website, You can read Suzy Orman books. Those are good options to help you with your financial picture. If you have too much debt and no savings you will have a hard time retiring. If your money is a bank, I suggest that you move it to where it will grow. The only guarantees at your bank is that it is guaranteed to loose money over time. Most people are never taught the rule of 72, and it says that if you want to know how long it takes for a lump sum of money to double, divide your interest rate in the number 72 and that will give you an approximate time in years. Example 72 divided by an interest rate of 4% it would double in 18 years. So you do the math banks pay savings accounts at a rate of about.75% or less. That's why it is important to start saving early in life. You want your money to double as many times as possible. Just invest wisely. Learn what your doing, this is one part of life where you don't want to be ignorant.
