Today’s My Birthday How About Some Self Help Gifts?
By admin | June 12, 2010
“Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgets them.” – Ogden Nash (1902 – 1971)
Today is the day I turn 55 years young and I have more than 300 fr.ee gifts for you today. But more about that in a minute.
I want to talk to you for a minute about measuring your level of personal success. There are a lot of ways to do it. Money, fame, professional awards are all ways to keep score and track how you’re doing. However, there are better ways. Ways that are much more meaningful and significant. This morning my wife gave me a birthday that really made my day. No, it wasn’t the pretty picture or the “Hallmark” verse. It was the signature. Just a few words.
“Thanks for being the man you are.
Love ,
Joan”
After 23 years she’s still definitely a keeper! No doubt I’m truly blessed. So, if you don’t mind – I’m going to spend my day feeling smug and assume I did something right;-)
Oh yea, I almost forgot your 300 gifts. Well truthfully, there not all from me. There’s a great, unique “Self Help Giveaway” that launched today. These are brought to you courtesy of a pair of my favorite marketers who are running a massive “mind and body” self improvement giveaway right now:
http://selfhelpgiftsgiveaway.com
The Self Help Gifts Giveaway event is definitely one of the better giveaways that I have seen recently, and I think you will really enjoy what they have to offer. Here’s a little tip, I set up a folder on my computer desktop to download all the gifts I was interested in. Then later I can go back I can actually find what I downloaded.
Well, I need to get ready for an engagement party for niece. Make it a great weekend and make sure to get your self help gifts!

Man – Am I Ever Psyched To Take Action
By admin | May 12, 2010
“Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit.” Conrad Hilton
You Gotta Take Action
I’m going to be flying out of Albany International airport tomorrow to Wilmington, North Carolina. But I’ll get back to that in just a minute.
I recently had one of the saddest conversations with a mentoring client I’ve ever had. The social economic currents were really spinning this person around in circles. Uncertainty and fear were stopping this person from going on the offensive and accomplishing anything useful.
Well Bill, there really is some scary stuff going on!
Yes, I there is. But you still need to act, your actions are your choice and within your control. I know you’ve heard it before but many of the world’s great fortune’s were made during bad economic times. Personal success requires action!
The saddest epitaph for any tombstone says:
“could have, might have and should have, but never did“.
Oh, almost forgot! I’m so psyched because I’m flying out to meet my brand new grandson, Tyler. All 8 pounds 5 ounces of him. We’ll talk again when I get back next week.
Wishing you a larger life,
BB

Personal Success Requires Thinking In Terms of Benefits
By admin | April 19, 2010
- “Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.” – Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862)
Personal Success Benefits
When you’re thinking about your goals and objectives, visualize the benefits that will come from accomplishing them. Focusing on benefits, rather than the goals themselves will help you to understand how accomplishing your goals will palpably improve your life.
For example, when you think about a goal, you might consider:
1.How accomplishing it will make you feel
2.How accomplishing it will improve your business
3.How accomplishing it will make you richer
4.How accomplishing it will your schedule freer, so that you have more free time to spend with your family
Focusing on these benefits will help you develop a clearer, stronger motivation for accomplishing your goals.
Wishing you a larger life,
BB

For Personal Success Remember The Little Things
By admin | April 15, 2010
“It comes down to the way you treat people, … When you treat people with dignity and respect all the time, you can work through anything.” – John Bacon
Little things mean BIG things to other people.
During the course of daily lives, we forget that the little things that we do like a heart felt thank you, saying “hi” or “hello”, greeting someone “good day” or telling a work mate “hey, I love your haircut!” are simple things that can mean so much to other people. You can change a bad day to a tolerable one with one positive, friendly gesture.
When we appreciate others and the things they do, we are also appreciated by others. So do the little things, everyday.

Little things mean BIG to other people. Sometimes, we don’t realize that the little things that we do like a pat on the back, saying “hi” or “hello”, greeting someone “good day” or telling Mr. Smith something like “hey, I love your tie!” are simple things that mean so much to other people. When we’re being appreciative about beautiful things around us and other people, we also become beautiful to them.

For Personal Success Think in Shades of Gray
By admin | April 6, 2010
“The more you know, the harder it is to take decisive action. Once you become informed, you start seeing complexities and shades of gray. You realize that nothing is as clear and simple as it first appears. Ultimately, knowledge is paralyzing.” – Bill Watterson (1958 – ), Calvin & Hobbes (THERE’S TREASURE EVERYWHERE)
When we think about goals, we either think in terms of all or nothing “either I will accomplish this goal in one week or I will never accomplish it at all.” Unfortunately, things don’t always work out this way. More often then not, we’ll run into a snag when we attempt to accomplish goals; and we’ll need to reformulate our plans accordingly.
And this is precisely why it is important to think in terms of shades of gray, rather than black or white (success or failure). If things don’t work out this week, it’s okay. Take stock of your progress; and then figure out how you can do things differently over the course of, say, the next week to ensure that you don’t miss that goal again.
Wishing you a larger life,
BB

Equation of Wealth (Bob Proctor’s student leaks the formula)
By admin | March 24, 2010
It’s OK to admit it, wealth is important to you.
So you’ve tried positive thinking. Maybe you even have a vision board. But for some reason,you just can’t seem to
unlock that “tap of wealth” using the Law of Attraction.
Is there an ingredient you’re missing?
It seems not. At least, not according to Brian Wong, successful entrepreneur and student of Bob Proctor.
According to my friend Brian, most of us already KNOW the ingredients needed to attract wealth. But,
in the same way a recipe is useless if you only have the ingredients and not the instructions, a recipe for
wealth is pretty much useless if you only have the ingredients but not the equation.
Brian is going to leak out the equation soon in his upcoming webinar. I’d reserve your spot before it gets full.
You can register here now: wealth webinar
See you there!

The webinar is happening March 25th, so register your spot quickly.

The Law of Attraction Not Working For You – Not Attracting Any Money?
By admin | March 17, 2010
I keep hearing that people are generally frustrated that the Law of Attraction (featured in the “The Secret”) is not working, especially in the area of wealth.
Sure, people have used the Law of Attraction to help them in many areas of life, from love and relationships to career to health. But wealth seems to be the area of priority for most people, and ironically, it also seems to be the area most people find least success in. It almost feels like there’s a correlation…
I’m curious to see if I’ve somehow hit the nail on the head with this observed correlation, so I’ll be interested to know on a scale of 1-10, how much focus have you put into expanding your wealth by using the Law of Attraction? And, on a scale of 1-10, how successful have you been with the Law of Attraction to attract money into your life?
Just let me know in the comments.
Wishing you a larger life,

For Personal Success Create Positive Momentum
By admin | January 28, 2010
With 2010 well under way, are you creating positive momentum or have you stalled out? If you’re looking for a surefire source of momentum, then make every effort to learn and implement new information and skills. Yes, you may have to invest time and money into learning. But it can make all the difference.
Here are three personal success tips to keep you building personal momentum.
1) Avoid Ignorance
“The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.” – Elbert Hubbard
What you don’t know can hurt you. Whenever an individual or company ceases to learn or reduces its storehouse of knowledge, decline swiftly follows. In today’s climate, change happens too quickly for businesses and individuals to fore go learning. Unless individuals make a concerted effort to gather information and re-educate themselves, their organizations will suffer the negative momentum of ignorance.
2) Guard Against Negligence
“Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolves” – Owen Feltham
Executives at Philip Morris were well aware of the health hazards of smoking, yet they chose not to warn customers about the harmful effects of their products. When the truth about tobacco became widely known, the public was outraged at the company’s negligence. Scads of lawsuits were filed against Philip Morris, alleging that it deliberately withheld information from customers. To date, the company has paid out millions of dollars in court-ordered settlements, and is on the hook for millions more.
When companies refuse to act on important information – then they are said to be negligent. Philip Morris failed to respond properly to the information at its disposal, namely that its products fostered addiction and had adverse health effects. In the end, the company paid dearly in financial penalties and lost significant momentum.
3) Take Action
“An organization’s ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage.” – Jack Welch
In 1987, Merck realized it had a drug that could counteract river blindness, a disease endemic to impoverished regions. At great expense to its pocketbook, Merck agreed to provide the drug to all who needed it, as long as they needed it. In the 20+ years since making that commitment, the company has provided over 600 million treatments.
Merck’s public image was boosted exponentially as a result of its generosity. The best and brightest minds in the pharmaceutical industry flocked to Merck to associate themselves with an organization that genuinely seemed to care. By putting its knowledge to work in such a benevolent way, Merck enjoyed a surge of momentum.

Dealing With Uncertainty
By admin | December 29, 2009
“The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation, which depend upon the future. We let go the present, which we have in our power, and look forward to that which depends upon chance, and so relinquish a certainty for an uncertainty.” – Seneca (5 BC – 65 AD)
What’s This Uncertainty About?
Well, according to Seneca uncertainty has been with the human race for quite some time. Where’s this uncertainty come from? Fear about the future? Fear of the unknown almost always cause stress. However, experts estimate that at least 90% of the things we worry about never come true! Yet, how much time and energy do we waste worrying about what may never come?
If you’re feeling anxious or worried about what might happen, use these tips to help alleviate your fear and stress:
Avoid worrying about the “What ifs.”
Instead of sitting around imagining all the bad scenarios that could possibly happen, funnel your energy into taking action to improve your situation, find a solution to your challenge, or work around the problem.
Adopt an optimistic attitude.
Redirect your thoughts so you vividly imagine good outcomes. It’s a funny thing, but expecting good outcomes more often results in the positive outcomes you desire!
Live in the moment.
As mentioned earlier in these posts, when you’re focused on this moment, worries about the future just don’t exist.
Wishing you and yours a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
