Surefire Secrets To Abundant Wealth



The Power of Perseverance and Persistence:

Everyone knows the power of persistence, but few people fully put this into practice. The difference in someone who succeeds and who doesn't is simply persistence. When you see obstacles, be encouraged because that means you are outside your comfort zone!

Consider how long you are prepared to try before you give up or get results. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb, or did he just find 10,000 ways how NOT to make a light bulb?

The Power of Regulating Expenses:

Debt is a habit. If you are in the habit of spending more than you make now, chances are you would continue this habit even if you make 1 million dollars a year. Learn to work on a budget and live within your means.

The Power of Integrity and Honesty:

Some people think the wealthy are corrupt. This is as wrong as saying that all poor people are honest. When pursuing this power ask yourself these questions:

Is it legal?

Is it morally correct?

Will pursuing this make me feel proud?

Will I respect myself after I do this?

If your answer is "yes" to each of these questions, then move forward.

The Power of Faith:

This is not necessarily about religion. Faith is the ability to see the invisible, believe the incredible and that will allow you to have what the masses call impossible. How is your self talk? Sometimes we wouldn't speak to our worst enemy the way we talk to ourselves.

Believe in yourself as you are responsible for your life and every result you get.

The Power of Charity:

Giving is contagious. If you are thinking about what you are going to get in return, you are trading, not giving. When you freely give, it develops your feeling of worth and abundance. That is a vibration. You will then attract more of that into your life. Wealth is like fertilizer. If you spread it, it will bring forth riches. If you leave it alone, it will become stagnant.

And now the free tool I told you about. Are you familiar with the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill? I was first introduced to this book many years ago when I started in network marketing. Just reading the title fills your mind with possibilities doesn't it? With a quick online search you can download this book for free. I challenge you to read in this book every day for 30 days. It will transform your business and your life.

5 Strategies for Communicating When You Don't Even Like to Talk



The stereotypical entrepreneur talks to everyone easily, but introverts need not be discouraged. Reticence does not doom you to failure.
Social science finds at least a third, and maybe half, the population is introverted. Successful entrepreneurs who are introverts make their personalities work for them. With less interest in the spotlight than accomplishing goals, introverts are inclined to let talented employees run with their ideas. Here are five strategies for making introversion an asset.
1. Learn to work with your personality. Even if it makes your palms sweat, as an entrepreneur you need to communicate with people. That does not mean you need to do it in situations that are terminally uncomfortable. If speaking in front of a large crowd is too much, one-on-one meetings are often just enough. When  you must talk to a group, prepare a script. Identify your strengths and weaknesses and adjust accordingly. Successful introverted entrepreneurs own their introversion, know their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses.
2. Discover your strengths. People tend to underestimate the introvert but the introvert surprises those who listen. Research reveals introverts are more concrete when describing things, and concrete descriptions are known to make a better impression. In comparison to extroverts, who may skim the surface, introverts study the big picture. Research shows introverts have more neuronal activity in brain regions linked to vigilance control and motor control, and they process external stimuli faster than extroverts. Introvert entrepreneurs naturally talk less and strategize more.
3. Prepare for working outside your comfort zone. Introverted entrepreneurs enjoy spending time alone but no entrepreneur can build a business completely on their own. Cultivating good social skills to connect with others is essential to hiring a team, persuading investors and selling your ideas. You can be an introvert most of the time, but there are times when even an introvert needs to be sociable.
4. Be aware of your energy. Occasionally you will need an extroverted front to accomplish a task. Make reasonable adjustments. For instance, if you must make calls during your shift, do so when you’re ready and prepared. Do things that don’t drain your energy too fast and leave the extroverted activities for times when you’re more energized.
5. Technology is never shy. The information age offers introverts a safe haven at the click of a button. As an introverted entrepreneur, you can use this to your advantage. Since introverts are good with details, creating and managing systems is a great way to interact with people without actually interacting. Let your software talk for you.  If approaching someone in person is daunting, use social media. Outsourcing can grow your business and reduce how often you need to talk face-to-face.
Ultimately, technology doesn’t solve all problems and personality is not destiny. Keep a level head and build a support system. Good advice for extroverts, too.

6 Secret Weapons of Shy Entrepreneurs

There’s a misconception that all entrepreneurs are extroverts — boisterous or bubbly personalities who are always the life of the party. But they’re not. And even those who are extroverted can be shy.
There is a distinction. Introverts feel rejuvenated after they take time to be alone. They often enjoy quiet activities like reading their favorite book or spending time with a close friend. On the other hand, extroverts like to spend their free time amongst people, but shy ones are less likely to open up to a new acquaintance right away.
Shyness doesn’t have to be debilitating nor does it disqualify you from becoming successful. In fact, shy entrepreneurs have one big advantage over their extroverted counterparts: they almost never overtalk or overshare. Effective listening is the most important skill any entrepreneur could have and it’s a talent that comes very naturally to individuals who are shy.
If you consider yourself a shy entrepreneur, here are some ways you can cultivate your strengths.
1. Show, don’t tell. If you’re naturally shy, you most likely don’t enjoy public speaking, even on a small scale in a boardroom. Don’t risk embarrassment by trying (and most likely failing) to pitch an executive off-the-cuff. Instead, when you pitch a client, show them what you can do for their business. Create a presentation that speaks for itself and doesn’t rely so heavily on your ability to make the perfect pitch.
2. Prepare, prepare, prepare. Write and practice your elevator pitch before you ever need it. You never know who’ll run into on the way to lunch or as you wait in line for coffee. If you get the opportunity to introduce yourself to a potential client or investor, simply deliver your speech as if you’re speaking to a friend. You’ll come off more natural the next time you need to introduce yourself and your company to a group. 
3. Hire your employees wisely. You are your own best business card, but it doesn’t hurt to have a strong sales team to back you up. Especially for positions in marketing and sales, hire people whose strengths are your weaknesses. Make sure the people you hire share your vision but embody skills you lack.
4. Use technology to your advantage. If you’re extremely shy, try having a meeting with your clients via technology. You may be more relaxed and find it easier to communicate through IM, Google Hangout and Skype. You’ll be more comfortable if you plan to follow-up with a face-to-face interaction.
5. Show genuine passion. Real passion, the kind that makes your eyes light up and drives you to keep working, is contagious. Your passion for your business and your customers will set you apart and make others notice you. Skip the small talk about the weather and share your passion with others. Share with your clients and customers how and why you started your business and what you love about it.
6. Push outside your comfort zone. It’s not always about who you know, but who knows you. Even if the thought of attending networking events makes you feel uneasy, attend them anyway. Make a goal to attend one or two every month. Introduce yourself to at least one new person at each event. You may be surprised at the number of doors you’re able to open simply by being at the right place at the right time.
