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:

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!

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.

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.

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.

Thankfully, most of us are not facing life or death battles, but the idea still holds true. You need to understand fully both the great gifts with which you have been graced and the inherent shortcomings that accompany those gifts. We must understand that the things we do well and the blind spots that often accompany our gifts. When we understand both our gifts and our shortcomings, we can move beyond the shortcomings, leverage the gifts and motivate ourselves to success in our chosen goals. Always remember that all gifts are double edged swords – they have both a light and dark side.

Bill, what on earth did you mean by that title?  Well,  I’m glad you asked. Both a bottle rocket and the guide missile both operate using the same basic Newtonian laws of physics. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. But do you why do you understand why the flight’s of the two are so different?

Feedback makes the difference.

The bottle rocket has no real target and no mechanism to direct it to a target. Once fired off, it’s in free flight. Any structural imbalance or shift in the wind can knock it off target. The rocket has no way to tell if it is getting closer or further away from the intended target.

The guided missile has the benefit of a constant feedback loop. The target is very clearly fixed (set) and once fired the feedback directs the missile’s flight mechanisms to constantly adjust the flight to stay on target. At any one point in the flight the missile may be blown off course but, the constant correction brings it back on target.

Fire and Forget

So, I’m suggesting that to achieve personal success, you must choose to be like the guided missile. The most important dynamic of achieving personal success is the “what” (the target), rather than the “how” (the path). Your conscious or thinking part of your mind devises the goal, or target. Stay focused on your goal and the subconscious mind will guide you on the path to its attainment. Put the “fire and forget” mechanism of guided missiles to work for you.

We had a little health scare in the Becker household (everyone’s OK, thanks for asking) Wednesday. Since our family physician was away on vacation, we ended up in the emergency room. It was the usual drill, health insurance info, blood work, x-rays, awaiting results, working to the top triage queue, finally leaving after 8 hours.

As it happened, I had a copy of  Peaks and Valleys: Making Good And Bad Times Work For You–At Work And In Life by Spencer Johnson, M.D. in my bag. I took advantage of the “wait time” to do a little reading.  “Peaks and Valleys” is a great little (101 pages) book which I recommend highly.

Let me share a favorite passage from the book which is “Make Reality Your Friend”. As I sat waiting for my wife to return from a CAT scan, I tried to ascertain the reality of our situation. The reality was that Joan and I were tied of the process, but in truth things weren’t so bad. A group of skilled professionals were working to find the problem and get it fixed. Due to that effort, we found out her condition was not life threatening, treatment was straight forward and both of us walked out under our own power. None the worst for the wear.

Is this the end, or the start of something new?

Many people look at the daily challenges we all face as ends.  The end of a job. The end of a relationship. The end of a vacation.

I choose to perceive these things as beginnings, as the start of something new.  A new career, the chance to meet new people, the chance to begin work with new vigor.

Why do I choose this strange path? Well, because I choose to be happy. Endings are generally thought of as sad negative things that imply loss. I prefer to be as positive as possible, even when there is evidence to the contrary.

After all since you’re alive, you might just as well be happy about it!

During my yearly physical in June my physician was pleased, even though he went through all the reasons I need to loss some additional weight. All the numbers that are suppose to be up are and all the numbers that are suppose to be down are headed that way.

Life is interesting isn’t? As we age the things that should be thick get thin – like my hair. Yet at the same time the things that should be thin – like my waist – get thick. Life is just a grand comedy, make sure you take time to laugh.
