Summer is Over, Is it Time to Focus on Success?

Finally, Labor Day has passed and Fall is on it’s way. For me, I welcome the end of the summer. Living on the beach is great, but sometimes it is so crowded that I forget how much I love it. September and October however are wonderful months to live at the beach. Still very warm (90 today) and yet the crowds are gone (thank Heaven for school starting).

Anyway, someone mentioned to me just yesterday that now with summer behind them, they could focus on their life and having success in their business.

That started me thinking about the mentality that thinks you have to have all conditions just perfect before you can move forward or continue your life, or have success. Times are only perfect when we allow them to be. If you wait for the “right time”, you will never find it. Why? Because the right time is within you. All you have to do is look within to find the “right time” for anything.

If you look within and the desire and the intention are there, then so is the success so the the time is perfect, right now!

Sure, Summer is a time of fun and outdoor events, but who said you have to put your life on hold to have fun and enjoy yourself? Success comes from the fun! Should I repeat that? “Success comes from the fun”.

The power of intention should be all anyone needs to have success. Success is already within each and every one of us. Once we set the intention to bring the success out, then having fun and living one’s life will set the law of attraction wheels rolling and the success will show itself.

The only piece that is missing here is the mental focus on what you want and how you want that to show itself. The energy and the emotion of the intent can be fed by the fun of living your life. The fun you have, when the focus is on your intention, it is like adding jetfuel to the desire.

So, what am I trying to tell you? Very simple, have fun everyday, but keep your focus on your goals and your intention (aka expectation). Let the fun of living your life be the fuel your intentions need to move you to your destination of allout success.

Sound too simple to be true? Try it. Do the things you need to do and then go out and have fun. Allow the intention of your efforts work for you. They will every time.

To you success…

Plant Your Flag and Claim Your Success

When great explorers found new territory, land, islands or even the moon, the first celebration always involved the planting of their flag. By this act, not only did they claim “the new land” but they also made the claim “I assume responsibility for the ownership of this new land”.

Have you planted your flag with your business?

Have you claimed your business as your own?

Have you claimed your business as your responsibility?

Have your claimed the success of your business?

Have you actually gotten excited about the unlimited possibilities of your business?

All are very important questions. Too often, we start businesses, especially from home and then never make the claim of success. Would an explorer have just passed by a beautiful uninhabited land and kept going, looking for the perfect land, a land with no challenges, no obstacles, looking only for a land with abundant life but no effort and no belief in the new land?

This is what new business owners do everyday. No wonder more than 80% of new home based businesses fail.

There are many opportunities available to the home marketer and a very large majority of those are absolutely legitimate and offer the opportunity to achieve dreams. The underlying factor of achieving success and experiencing failure must lie on the shoulders of the marketer.

As Wallace Wattles points out in the amazing book “The Science of Getting Rich”, two people can do the same thing, in the same place, but one succeeds and the other fails. Only because the successful person “did things in a certain way”. Or as Napoleon Hill suggests in his amazing book “Think and Grow Rich”, One must operate a business as an entrepreneur instead of an employee.

When it comes to your business, the time is “NOW”. Do not wait for the perfect time, the perfect person, or the perfect teacher. Waiting will destroy your business and it will never succeed.

The time is now to take action. Be the leader in your business. Apply the “certain way” to your business and of course your attitude. That “certain way” separates leaders from followers.

In order to succeed at any business, you must be the leader. Leaders are irresistibly attractive to other leaders. When you fail to be the leader, you are therefore the victim. The victim gives away all power, the victim will never succeed because no one who is looking to succeed will associate or give any authority to the word of a victim.

Leaders look to work with other leaders. So plant your flag. Claim success for your business. Read these two powerful books and apply the principles in them now, not later. Be the outrageously successful leader you truly are.

Plant your flag and claim your success today!

The Only Way to Solve Money Problems – Name it and Claim it

I am frequently astounded at how people “claim” their problems. Just look around the Internet and pay attention to how people talk about problems. I am even more astounded that people have web sites based on their problems. What could possibly be the purpose of this focus and attention?

I am reminded of a great quote:

“Celebrate what you want to see more of” Thomas J. Peters

Celebrate what you want to see more of, is basic Law of Attraction. I refer to it as Name it and Claim it. What you give focus and attention to comes to you, so why would anyone give attention and focus to any “problem”.

Now, first of all, I do not support simply ignoring your problems. However, you deal with problems as temporary challenges, taking whatever action is necessary to resolve them and then you let them go. Once something is history, it should no longer control your energy and attention. This means you should not talk about it, write about and dwell on it.

Constant discussion only buys into the drama of the story and brings more adversity into your life. It is the “claiming” things as a problem and holding them in our lives that puts us in situations we can not climb out of.

When you give attention to something at this level, the drama of it brings more of into your lives.

You have total control over your life, not only the way you handle things and react to them, but how long they are a part of your life and to what level they affect you. You even have total control over your finances, but if you talk about them in the negative, you get negative results, not prosperity. So why would you want more of the “bad stuff?”

The only way to resolve any problem, especially financial is to deal with it quickly and succinctly and then let it go. Put it in the past where it belongs.

Do not dwell and talk about things that bring you frustration or anguish.

Talk only about the positive things and leave the negatives where they belong.

Yes, I have had great adversity in my life and every time, it was very short and very temporary. Instead I chose to have more and never told anyone about the problems, because I did not want more of them to come to me.

And that is the point, I choose success, I choose happiness, I choose everything good to come to me.

When it comes to money issues, it is best to get someone else to deal with them for you. The energy you give the situation, will bring you down, so by having someone else deal with it, gives you an opportunity to focus on what life will be like when it is behind you.

Name and Claim only what you want in your life, never what you do not want. Talk about it, think about it, dream about it, write about it. The more energy you give it, the faster it will come. Name and Claim only the good stuff, never the bad. Get rid of the chatter in your mind that holds you back. Do not voice your problems out loud either, words have a power of their own and will completely block your prosperity.

Keep it simple, keep it quiet and keep moving toward your goals.

To your success!

Financial Mindset – How much money are You Really Worth?

I spend my days working with people to teach them how to make money and every day, take a serious look at the mindset people operate from. It is very interesting to see the result of someones life as it compares to their mindset. Simply said, I can only teach people to make what they think they are worth.

First of all, let me clarify. Living a prosperous life is not really about the money, it is about the lifestyle the money provides. It is about the freedom, the choices and the options available to those who create their lives.

But the greatest challenge to me is helping people to see that the amount of money they earn is directly relevant to how much they think they are worth. I talk with people everyday who see themselves in a very small place, the challenge is to move them to see the bigger picture.

What does this mean? Let’s do a very simple exercise. Take out a piece of paper and without much thought, simply write down on that paper how much money you want to make this year. What did you write? Was it $1 Million, $500,000 or maybe even $50,000?

Whatever you wrote on that piece of paper is what you are worth (today)! Value is a perception only, so if you have the perception that you are worth $50,000 then I am sorry to inform you, that is all you are worth (at this time). But you may say… sure, but it is June and the year is half over, or, I don’t know how to make more right now, my current salary is this or this or that or whatever!

The fact is, 90% of the result is the mindset. So if you see yourself making only $50,000 then you have the mindset of making that amount. On the other hand, if you see yourself making $500,000 this year, then that is the mindset you are working with and your chances of making that amount dramatically increase.

I have said in many of my articles that making a Million Dollars is the easiest thing in the world, the hard part is DECIDING to make a Million Dollars. It is one thing to WANT a Million, but if you have not decided to make it, then you are just in a state of want and will never move past that with your current thinking. Your current thinking is responsible for where you are today, in order to move beyond where you are, you absolutely must change your thinking.

Another very important point is this…

It is not your job to figure out HOW to make the amount of money you desire, it is your job to DECIDE what that amount is. Once you make a decision, which involves a fever of desire and an unstoppable mindset, then the method will come to you, but you must DECIDE first.

Bottom line, as I said, I work with people to show them how to use a simple system to achieve financial success. But, if a person has the mindset of $50,000 then they will take this Million Dollar opportunity and make $50,000 with it. On the other hand, if they have a Million Dollar mindset and desire, they will make the Million. The other person will literally leave $950,000 on the table for someone else to make and then complain that the opportunity is not worth more than $50,000.

Think about it very seriously. What is your financial mindset? Whatever it is, is what you are worth. Let’s talk later about how to increase that mindset.

Make it a fabulous day, you deserve it.

Praise and Celebrate Your Life – The Power of Gratitude

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” Oprah Winfrey

This is a powerful quote and I encourage my readers to post this where they can see it everyday. Turn on the power of gratitude. Gratitude is an energy, a force, beyond all others.

You can not open the doors to receive in your life until you are grateful for what you have, and not just the things you have, but the circumstances the people, your mind, your inner power, your dreams, your desires, your life and all things touching your life. It is all a part of who you are and the future you have.

Be grateful

We ARE Liberty League, not just DO Liberty League

So, people ask me all the time what I do. Obviously, I work from home, have tons of free time, do what I want to do and am assisting my community. Liberty League is why I can do these things. The truth is, yes, Liberty League is what I do, but more importantly, I AM Liberty League. I love this company, the community and every thing that it stands for.

I started with Liberty League International in June 2004. Literally, I was exhausted, fed up with my management job and just tired of living someone else’s dreams. So late one Sunday night, knowing that Monday would be horrible as they always were, I was searching the internet, hoping for a new beginning.

And, I found it…

Thanks to this amazing opportunity, my husband and I both left our jobs, moved to where we really wanted to live (the beach) and very proud that we are making a real difference in the lives of other people and our community. Before coming here, we only talked about “some day” and “maybe” but now we live our dreams everyday.

Through LLI’s product, Beyond Freedom, I learned not only that I have total control over my life and my lifestyle, but how to take control of my life. Beyond Freedom is part of my daily personal development, guiding me to be the best I can be. Before Beyond Freedom, I never really understood how to make the Law of Attraction and The Secret work for me. Now, they are part of everything I do because Beyond Freedom assisted me in changing my thinking to allow them to work.

There is no end to what we know we can create. We are so grateful to have this product and this company in our lives and know without any doubt that God brought us here and we are where He wants us to be. We are grateful to Him for putting this piece of our life puzzle together for us. And we are grateful to the founders of Liberty League for creating something so powerful.

Always, to your success,
Wanda Grindstaff

Be the Rhino, A Life of Purpose and Intention

Jerry Clark, extremely well known in the Network Marketing industry for not only his success but for his powerful teachings at Club Rhino, uses the analagy of Rhinos and Cows to explain the difference in successful and unsuccessful people.

Most entrepreneurs have heard the story of The Rhino escaping from the Cow Pasture. The point of the story is, the Rhino knows where he is going and will not be misguided or held back by the beliefs of others, namely the cows.

While in the cow pasture, the Rhino has a vision of his goal, escapes and keeps on purpose for getting there. As a Rhino, he can see himself where he truly wants to be and is driven by his desires and purpose.

With Rhinos, the joy is in the journey. With consistent action, integity and the ability to do what cows will not, he creates a journey filled with joy, charging through the jungle regardless of appearances. The Rhino sees every situation as part of the journey and is grateful for the events that move him to his destination.

Cow conditioning on the other hand is giving in to the evidence of a situation. By concentrating on life’s mistakes and failures, he fails to move toward a goal simply because the route of travel is not crystal clear, smooth and guaranteed.

Rhinos get results because they, unlike cows, do not sabotage their success with inconsistency, excuses and drama. Rhinos always team up with other Rhinos, surrounding themselves with goal achievers. Rhinos play to win instead of playing “not to lose”.

You deserve to know, by making a few modifications in your thinking and your actions, you too, can be a Rhino. By taking total ownership of your results, removing any blame and moving consistently forward toward your ultimate destination, you will see yourself as the Rhino you are inside. Instead of being a cow waiting for the slaughter, take charge and create your desired outcome.

I will talk further about being a Rhino and living the Rhino life in later posts. In the meantime, when you look back to where you have been, see yourself as a Rhino who thought he was a cow, instead of a cow, living a cow’s existence.

To your success!
