Video – The Someday Syndrome

In this video, The Someday Syndrome is presented by former US Congressman and speaking legend Ed Foreman.

The someday syndrome strikes when you constantly are looking to the future to be happy. For instance, “Someday, when I get a raise and that new car, then life is going to be really good.” Or, “Someday, when I get married, I will be happy.”

How do You Become Recession Proof?

I first learned of Tom Peters in 1995 when I listened to his program In Search of Excellence. His ideas and advice has been invaluable to me for more than a decade now.

Over the years I can think of no other business authority that has a clearer understanding of what works and what doesn’t. In my opinion, if you are looking for a model of management excellence look to Tom Peters.

Mr. Peters was recently asked how people can deal with the current challenges that this economy is posing. Below Read More...

Perception: Good Luck – Bad Luck – Who Knows

Do you ever judge people? I know for me, there have been many times when I have judged my clients for not buying, my contact for blowing off my call, my colleagues for doing something I didn’t agree with, my spouse for not doing something I wanted, my kids for throwing their food, myself for many things…I have found that it’s not very helpful.

How about you? I get frustrated and negative. And you know what? Sometimes those things that upset or frustrated me were blessings in disguise. This brings me back to the old Chinese proverb about the farmer:

An old farmer had an old horse for tilling his fields. One day the horse escaped into the Read More...

Financial Abundance

Filed under: Financial Freedom — Tags: , , , , , — Freedom Personal Development @ 6:00 am

I wanted to write briefly about abundance and scarcity.  Specifically how it applies to our financial lives, aka our money mode.

Are you living your life in a scarcity money mode?  For instance, are you trying to stick to a tight budget and feel like you have limited resources and opportunities?  Do you find yourself saying, “We cannot spend,” “We cannot do,” We cannot have the things we want because we cannot afford them”?

If this sounds like your situation, I have a simple tip to create more financial abundance in your life.  If you want to have more money in your life then spend more money.

The mindset that money is scarce will result in money being Read More...

Step by Step Instructions for Creating Financial Freedom

We’re all after financial freedom, but what is it anyways? What does financial freedom look like? What does it feel like? How do you know when you’ve attained it?

Correctly answering these questions is fundamental to your creating financial freedom, because it’s impossible to reach a destination if you don’t know where you’re going. So it only makes sense that before we dive into the specifics of how to create financial freedom, we first define what it is.

I recently attended a conference where the instructor asked people for their definition of financial freedom. The answers ranged from “not being in debt” to “being able Read More...

The Key to Financial Freedom – Your Financial Pyramid

Download The Financial Pyramid mp3
(1. Right click the link 2. Choose “Save Target As”)

The idea of financial freedom is so fascinating to me. What does it take to achieve financial freedom? I ask you, quickly, write down how much money you would need to make in a year to feel financially free?

That’s usually a pretty tough exercise for people. In my observations, many of the most financially enslaved people I know are those that make the most money.

My husband’s a financial planner and he tells me people assume that if you make more money, the Read More...

You Shouldn’t Read This

Many people have talked with me recently about getting motivated when they don’t feel like it or when they are having a bad day. If you have ever wondered that then read on.

There are many ways to get yourself motivated. Anyone who has listened to Tony Robbins have learned about changing your state, specifically using your physiology, your focus, and your language. And because the “state” that you are currently “in” is determined by those three forces, if you change any of those three then you will change your “state”.

For example if you are feeling sad you might feel “down” and usually, you will droop your shoulders a little and your Read More...
