1 Million Dollars in 365 days…

I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine last week, and he mentioned something he read in Kurek Ashely’s book - “How would love respond?“. (FYI - this is a great book and if you’re looking at investing $20-$30 to begin to turn your life around, this is an excellent way to start. I suggest you pick up your own copy by clicking here……[end of shameless plug])

Seriously though, I’ve been to one of Kurek Ashley’s live seminars, walked across searing-hot coals without getting burnt, and totally transformed my life. Kurek doesn’t get all the credit, however he certainly started me on my journey, and what a ride it has been so far - life ROCKS!

So back to the point: The theory is that you choose an area of your life (for example, your finances) and then each day you do something that will improve this area of your life by at least one percent (1%). This kind of leads on from my previous post about the 30 day plan.

After a year….you guessed it, you should have improved in the region of 365%! Now that’s quite a major change, even taken over a whole year. When you look at all the things you did that made up each one percent, they probably weren’t big things or very difficult to carry out.

It could be as simple as:

• making a phone call
• talking to someone
• thinking something about someone or something
• Trying something new
• Ending a bad or dis-empowering habit
• Doing something good for someone else
• The list goes on….

The thing I like about this approach is IT WORKS! Not only do you actually improve the areas of your life that you set out to, but you also begin doing something much more important. You start to think yourself rich. Now by rich, I don’t necessarily mean money, I’m talking about wealth in the holistic sense. You’re having a thought that you may not have normally have had:

“What can I do today in order to improve my finances/relationship/friendship/health/etc by one percent?”

By asking yourself that single question on a daily basis, you are beginning to form a pattern. Keep working at it and soon that daily pattern will turn into a habit, which means it becomes part of your every day life, just like waking up and going to sleep. This habit happens automatically, so you are automatically improving your life!

So I hear you ask, “Well if I can turn this into a habit, couldn’t I repeat this process with other strategies and turn them into habits”? OF COURSE YOU CAN! Imagine living your ultimate life - everyday, and all you’re doing is doing the same stuff you normally do?

So swap for you negative thoughts for positive thoughts. Get those dis-empowering thoughts and actions and replace them with empowering thoughts and actions. Spread the love. Make hapiness you mantra. Enjoy it and stay positive…

My loyal subscribers, spam assassins and random blog hunters! Welcome and thank you for your patience over the last week or so. I’m fully recovered from my marathon and I’ve been having the most amazing time taking action to achieve my goals!

Now as corny as that sounds - it’s the truth. The people I have been meeting just keep getting more empowering - and they all seem to be in the right industry, willing to lend a hand with whatever challenge is at hand….coincidence? I think not….

On my path to make a Million dollars, I have a number of strategies in place, with new plans being made daily Recently, I have just acquired an Email Marketing company. I’m really excited about what we are doing in this space and know that this is going to be one of the must-hear stories in my interview on October 6th 2009!

I’m also currently undertaking due diligence on another start-up company, which I hope to be involved in within the next month.

Why am I investing in companies?

I see these organisations as opportunities, vehicles to achieve my financial goals, so that I can continue my work to achieve my other goals and help people be successful in their lives.

So do I have hundreds of thousands of dollars lying around, ready to splurge on the next new business idea? No - not yet.

Am I smarter than everyone else out there? No.

Am I crazy? Some people think so.

The thing that separates me from average Joe out there, is one, simple word. Action.

“Action is what happens when you decide to stop dreaming and start living your dreams!”

So stop worrying about what other people think and take action on something that’s important to you. That’s what I’m about to do.

On personal note - thanks to everyone that has emailed me over the past week and I will reply to you all personally - it means a lot to be able to help other people.

Have a happy, productive and empowering week my friends

It’s a beautiful day today. Luckily the weather man got it wrong, and we’ve been enjoying the sun all day long. Summer is great, with bbq’s the evening and days at the beach. There’s a seemingly more “positive” atmosphere in air, which is great in these uncertain times.

I’m just about to shoot out for a run shortly, but thought I would just check in with the blog and tell everyone about a new idea that is in the works at present. With all the negative and dis-empowering stories in the media lately, I thought it would be good to add some positivity to the mix!

I’m really excited about it! The more I think about it, the more I realise that my “purpose” is to help other people achieve their goals and be successful. This new idea is going to help do just that!

The best part is, that because I feel so passionately about it - I know it’s going to do great things for lots of people. I’m really going to put everything I have into this as I can see the wider benefits already. (more…)

How often do you celebrate success? I’m sure we all lead lives that revolve around putting in effort to achieve results, in some form or another. Usually people have a party when they get a promotion or for their birthday or some other occasion.

Why do we celebrate? Because we like to feel good about ourselves? (more…)
