Is Attitude Everything?
Posted by: | CommentsI was listening to my good friend Troy Dooly on his Radio Show “Radio for your Mind”. and he inspired me to think about this quote for myself.
“The Greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind”
William James
So what are your thoughts on it?
Allegory of the Cave and your Job do they have anyhting in common?
Posted by: | CommentsMy goal with this post is to help other struggling Network’s to find hope, by bringing thought provoking ideas, marketing techniques, and just plan Motivational tips. I hope that this will be truly enriching to your life, and not just to your success, but spiritually and mentally. I think all of these have a huge factor in achieving great success.
I remember seeing Anthony or “Tony” Robbins a while back and he talked about the idea of being just a couple millimeters off from turning everything around. I think that is so true, and I hope through my studies, and just critically thinking deeply about certain things; that this will truly help you find out where you might be a couple millimeters off in life.
Also I hope that this can be a help for those who are at the edge of quitting. Owning businesses in both realms, I’m a 100% sure that owning your own business is the best way for people to make real income and change their families life’s for generations with the right company or idea. So I would love to be able to give my time to others who are really at the point where they can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. This reminds me of the “Allegory of the Cave” by “Plato” I will give you short abbreviated version of it. Basically it’s a dark underground cave where people are all sitting with their backs turned to the cave’s opening, They are chained to the chair at an early age. Now this is where it’s get’s interesting. There are other people in the cave to and they are referred to as Puppet-Masters and they never see them. Well the crazy thing is that the people don’t even know that they are prisoners. Their reality has been shaped at an early age. Because this is all they have ever known. Then the Puppet-Masters hold objects that are flickering through the fire to produce shapes on the wall. The prisoners are only able to look forward because they are chained that way. Well one man escaped the cave “which “Plato” called an intellectual one”, and finally gets to see the true images, like trees and grass, sun, and ect. He is amazed, and tries to go back and tell others, and they say what are you talking about, we have everything here; why would want to escape this!
I hope this hit’s home and I would encourage you to read and think about it. Last time I remembered, this is the land of opportunity, not the land of job. So if I can help anyone be free from the Matrix, Cave and etc, please let me know. Again I will bring stories and thoughts like this to help people strive harder to get out.

Last thing I will say is this. What is your “WHY”? This is the most important thing, and it should be something that is convicting to you and personal. That you can’t quit, because that “WHY” will stare you in the face every time you look in the mirror. When the trials of life come and beat down upon you, and your telling yourself that you can never do this, I want you to stop yourself, and quit listening to “THE HOW” Quit asking How am I going to do this. “Les Brown” says give that “HOW” to God, and just do. Learn something new, try a new system, and ect. If what your doing is not working, try to learn something that can help you turn things around. Remember in the beginning of the first paragraph, you are just a couple of millimeters off having things turn-around.
We will Miss You, R.I.P. Jim Rohn

We are all saden by his lost today. He has help so many people in the world achieve there goals and dreams. Let us all say a prayer for his family in this tough time.
Jim Rohn (September 17, 1930 – December 5, 2009) was an American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker.
His work has been influential in launching or furthering the careers of many others in the personal development industry, including Anthony Robbins, Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy and Jack Canfield.
Born to an Idaho farming family, Rohn began his early adulthood without acclaim, leaving college after his first year, starting a family, and trying to get by as best he could as a salaried worker.
By age 25 (according to his accounts), he was in a personal rut familiar to many middle-class families whom were in debt, unable to see a way that would lead to his personal ambitions.
Around this time, he was introduced to John Earl Shoaff, an entrepreneur who impressed Rohn with his wealth, business accomplishments, charisma and life philosophy. Rohn joined Shoaff’s direct sales organization, and began a process of personal development that culminated in his becoming a millionaire by age 31. Unfortunately, Shoaff, who had challenged Rohn to reach for this goal, died one year before Rohn achieved it.
In the years that followed, Rohn discovered a demand from people outside his industry to hear his rags to riches stories, and the personal development philosophy that he felt had led to his accomplishments. Rohn has been presenting his seminars for more than 40 years.
He has addressed over 6,000 audiences and 4 million people worldwide. He was the recipient of the 1985 National Speakers Association CPAE Award. He is also the author of 17 different books, audio and video programs.
Jim Rohn is considered a “Business Philosopher”. He does not claim to teach novel truths, only fundamentals – and as he is fond of saying: “There are no new fundamentals. Truth is not new, it’s old. You’ve got to be a little suspicious of the guy who says, ‘come over here, I want to show you my manufactured antiques!’ No, you can’t manufacture antiques.” Whoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness – great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy
Jim Rohn’s “Five Major Pieces To the Life Puzzle”
Philosophy – how you think
Attitude – how you feel
Action – what you do
Results – measure often to see if you are making progress
Lifestyle – the kind of life you can make for yourself out of the first four pieces
Got FEAR?
