How To Succeed In Business By Spiritually Trying

By Walter E Jacobson, MD

If we continually procrastinate and sabotage ourselves to the point of not getting the lives we want, we need to re-program our subconscious minds because it is not our being a victim of bad luck or some more concrete scapegoat that is getting in our way. It’s us.

When one self-improvement effort after another has failed to deliver us our aspirations, it behooves us to keep our Shakespeare in mind. Particularly, that “the fault, dear Brutus, lies not in the stars but in ourselves that we are underlings.”

Point being: We can be masters of our fate or victims of our fears, fantasies and foolishness. We can continue to know what we need to do and not do it, and not get where we want to go. Or we can recognize that everything we’ve tried hasn’t worked, so we best do something different.

Self-Sabotage

In order to do something different, best we know the root cause of the problem and then design a unique and effective solution.

The root cause is self-sabotage. Consciously, we want to make money, make friends, lose weight, get healthy and fit, find our soul mates and partners, and by golly we’re gonna start tomorrow morning for sure, you betcha. This time I really mean it.

New Year’s Resolutions come and go. Again and again. Year after year. Unconsciously, our resistance to change is great and our resolve to put into practice the principles and techniques we’ve learned is weak. The resistance wins out, any attempt at establishing a habit of behaviors, a pattern of focused thoughts and exercises all devoted to the achievement of expressed goals fails sooner or later.

We’re back at step one. With another healthy dose, so to speak, of guilt, shame and self-loathing that we’ve failed another attempt to attain our goals, whatever they might be.

Why is the unconscious resistance to change so great? It’s because of what I just made reference to: guilt, shame and self-loathing. Buried deed in the unconscious mind is the belief that we are not good enough and don’t deserve abundance and success.

That core thought compels the subconscious to act in ways that creates that reality. We experience a world which reflects that self-concept that we are not worthy. Rather than attracting success, happiness and prosperity into our lives, we attract accidents and potholes.

If this premise is correct, then we must change our core thoughts about ourselves which compel our subconscious mind to do our bidding if we are to attract the life we want without resistance, negativity, obstacles and unpleasantness.

We must rid ourselves of the unconscious guilt, shame and self-loathing. Not a simple task. Nonetheless, a worthy one. And the way to do it is to be of service to others, to engage in estimable acts towards others as best we can, without conditions, exceptions or expectations.

As we esteem others through our respect and service to help as best we can, we are esteeming ourselves and sending our subconscious the message that we are good enough. But that’s not enough. We must forgive ourselves as well if we are to eliminate the deeply submerged guilt and shame.

As we forgive others, which involves letting go of our harsh judgments of them, we are actually forgiving ourselves, letting go of our harsh judgments of ourselves. It’s Confucius’s Law of Reciprocity. It’s a Golden Rule sort of thing. It’s the way this world of ours works. It’s all projection. People are mirrors of our thoughts. Trust me, there’s a lot of that going around.

As we forgive others, we forgive ourselves. It’s as simple and as difficult as that. Esteem others, let go of judgments and resentments and anger, forgive others for they know not what they do, among other things, and be of service to others. We get out of ourselves.

We get out of the crazy thinking in our head which makes us feel alienated and frightened. We help others. We count our blessings. And guess what? Things get better. Life gets better. Life has greater meaning in addition to greater clarity, direction, transformation, happiness, contentment and good fortune.

Are you riding a dead horse? If you’re not getting anywhere in your business and life… if you keep doing the same old things day in and day out with the same old tiring and dismal results…. Then you’re riding a dead horse.

Ok…so maybe you can try some of these to make the dead horse work:

1. Get off and then get back on over and over to see if by chance it comes alive again.
2. Get off the horse and beat it…
3. Put a new saddle on it…
4. Put some new shoes on it…
5. Get a new bridle…
6. Show it a picture of a tropical island and a new car to motivate it…
7. Throw lots of money at it…
8. Get a shiny new apple to pass under its nose to see if it comes back to life…
9. Get on someone else’s dead horse to see if you can make it work…
10. Take some time off from riding the horse, then when you’re rested jump back on it…
11. I could go on and on…and you get the picture… THE HORSE IS STILL DEAD!

If you’re involved in or own a home business and it’s not working, maybe it’s not the business. Maybe YOU need to do some serious reinventing of YOU!

There are opportunities abounding on the internet today, and many of them are terrific and hold limitless opportunities for you….but no matter how good the compensation plan is, no matter how simple the concept is…if YOU’RE not ready it won’t work!

So, here’s the deal…It really isn’t the horse….it is YOU. Your business will only get better when YOU get better. Plain and simple! But just taking random shots at motivational gurus, millionaire mindsets seminars, unstoppable workshops, and paying the internet gurus thousands of dollars with the ultimate result of no real improvement, then it’s time to get real with yourself and figure out what you really need to do.

At Life Power Formula we have worked tirelessly to create an assessment that will help you realize where you are right now and help you build a plan to get to where you want to go. This is NOT a business opportunity. This IS a life transformational event if you are serious about creating the life of your dreams.

This assessment is a simple tool to help you get a grip on your life in terms of your profession, your finances, your health, your relationships and emotions, and even your spiritual and community needs. And the best thing is that you can do this all for just $7…There are well over $500 of added resources and tools available with this assessment and there are NO recurring costs. Buy it once…use it now and ongoing.

Order it today and get started on the transformation you deserve….start riding a new horse in a new focused direction today!

Strategy and Action: Two Keys to Success

Over the past 26 years, I have been involved in leadership positions from school settings, to community projects, to business, to personal life coaching clients. Throughout those years I have spent countless hours reading and researching what makes people successful. I have also been fortunate to have great mentors in my life like Brian Tracy who have helped me personally excel. There are many attributes contributing to success and countless books and dissertations detailing them. However, today I’m going to have you consider two attributes that remain consistent in the research as keys to success:

Strategy and Action!

Let’s first address strategy. When you are trying to accomplish an important goal what do you do? Understanding clearly what the goal is, articulating it so it becomes a vivid vision, and writing it down are all key to getting started. But, just writing the goal (although very powerful) isn’t enough to make it happen. You have to strategically plan “how” you’re going to accomplish it.

There are several questions to ask when it comes to strategy:

• How will I measure my success of achieving this goal?
• Are there constraints of obstacles in my way keeping me from my goal?
• Are these constraints internal? Am I holding myself back?
• Are these constraints external? Is there something or someone holding meback?
• Are there additional skills and knowledge I require? Whose help and cooperation do I need?
• What should I do more of? Less of?
• What should I start doing, or stop doing?

It is important to write these things down on paper:

Don’t type them into a computer, get a piece of paper and physically write them. The neuro-connections made by physically writing makes you embed the answers in your subconscious mind. You will be able to more clearly understand each step necessary in order to achieve what you want.Once you have these things written, don’t be like most people and put off action. Have you ever had the frustrating experience of serving on a committee and all they do is talk never taking action?

Likewise, there is nothing more frustrating than when we simply sit on our goals and don’t take action to make them happen. Remember, “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”We know accomplishing something we have been working toward makes us feel terrific. We release endorphins in our bodies that literally give us a “high” and make us even more effective.

Think back to a time when you achieved something or did something really well. Do you remember the feeling of accomplishment? It felt great, didn’t it? Well, that’s what you’ll feel when you take action and execute your plans.Brian Tracy says, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.”  Take the time to plan and strategize, then get busy and take action. How do you take action? Use the mind-storming method I learned from Brian Tracy many years ago.

1. Take a clean sheet of paper.
2. Write the goal in the form of a question at the top.
3. Write down a minimum of 20 answers to the question.
4. Select at least one of your answers to take action on it immediately.
5. Write that answer as a question on a new sheet of paper.
6. Develop 20 answers to THAT question.
7. Take action on ONE idea immediately.

Try these things when you are ready to move ahead with making a goal a reality.

Dedicated to your success…Ron Stebelton

Successful people understand the importance of and practice forgiveness.

As you read this post,  please contemplate who needs forgiven.

• Forgive those who did it
  
• Forgive those who did nothing
• Forgive yourself

This post contains lessons learned from my Christian faith. I make no apologies to anyone for sharing my faith through this writing and so do not ask forgiveness of the reader in that regard. However, even if you are not of the Christian faith, these lessons work.

1.  Don’t tell anyone! That means you don’t go around telling everyone. You don’t brag about it. You just do it. That also applies to forgiving yourself. Rick Warren has said, “Every time you hold your tongue when attacked or misrepresented, your spiritual power grows. Humility gives you authority.” Forgive them, but keep that to yourself.

2.  Don’t let them be afraid of you! What does this mean? It means that if you have forgiven them, you welcome them back without condition. You do not make them afraid or cautious to talk to you; you simply welcome them and let them know how happy you are to be with them. That’s what Jesus taught us through the parable of the prodigal son.

3.  Don’t make them feel guilty. Well, isn’t that a tough one? You forgive them, but now you’re told you can’t make them feel guilty. Then you say, “Where’s the fun in that?” People who like to make other’s feel guilty truly do not experience the power of full forgiveness.

Imparting guilt is as much a wrong as what the person who wronged you did. I know what you thinking… “but what about the person who kills someone or severely hurts someone on purpose?” Remember that arguing from extremes is the weakest kind of argument. We are talking about regular folks and situations that would likely exist within our daily lives. And, we also know of those who have had severe emotional and physical attacks who have learned to forgive in this manner. It is possible.

4.  When forgiving someone it is important to let them “save face.” Protect their self-esteem. Forgiveness does not involve humiliating them privately or publicly. What good does it do for you to forgive someone only if you humiliate them in the process? And, think about this….part of not humiliating is also forgetting.

You say what? Now I have to help them save face and also forget about it? Yes! Christ teaches us that when we are forgiven, He also forgets. That’s an amazing thing to contemplate. I’ll bet you have said, “Oh, I forgive him. But, I’ll never forget.” I have too, and I guess I still do at times. Forgetting is tough, but we have to try in order to fully realize the power of forgiveness.

5.  Protect them from the darkest secrets! Maybe you are the one who needs forgiveness. There is no doubt about the fact that at some point in time we all do things that are wrong. This is when self-forgiveness really comes into play. God really does want to forgive us and because he desires that, He also desires for you to forgive yourself. It eliminates the negative thought patterns that can so often drag us down. He wants you to confess what you have done to Him, but you don’t have to air out all your dirty laundry to your family, friends and neighbors. Realize your faults, but don’t dwell on them. Learn from your mistakes, but don’t dwell on them. Remember not to argue this point from extremes.

6.  Total Forgiveness is a “life sentence.” You may have to forgive them again and again. You may have to forgive yourself again and again. Ok, now you’re making it tough on me! You mean I have to forgive them multiple times? Yes! Because it may just creep back into your life, or something similar may happen. But, we are taught to forgive many times over, because we are forgiven endlessly. If it is done for us, we have to do it for others too.

7.  You bless them! OUCH! This one is the toughest point. Now that you have forgiven unconditionally, you expect me to bless them? If you can do this final step, you will have advanced to the highest state of forgiveness possible. As humans we have a hard time with this one. But, try it. If someone or some people have wronged you, bless them. If there are people who witnessed others hurting you but did nothing, bless them. Bless them continuously until you absolutely believe in what you are doing. Yes, this is the toughest of all the points of forgiveness, but it is the most powerful and liberating. Remember what Jesus said on the cross? “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.”

An Open Letter To My Readers…

I QUIT!

That’s right, you read it right….I quit!

• I quit moaning about how tough it is…

• I quit blaming non-performance on others…

• I quit procrastinating…

• I quit saying “I can’t afford it.”…

• I quit letting my ego tell me how things won’t work…

• I quit making excuses for not making enough money, not having enough time to get things done, for not taking the time I need to take with my family…

Did you know that the habit of quitting is the easiest habit to learn. Most people aren’t quitting the things I mentioned above. 95% of all people never accomplish what they could because they are quitters. Just before a big break happens, they quit. Just before the business they are developing is about to take off, they are thrown a curve ball and have to delay, so they just quit.

I want you to quit quitting…and you can start that habit today!

If you want a better life, if you want more money, if you want better health, if you want more time to do all the things you want in life, then you have to take action and focus forward every day. Someone once told me that God will lead you the edge of a cliff where you must learn to fly, or jump and let Him catch you. It’s about having faith!

When you are determined to succeed and you only think about what you want in positive terms, it begins to come to you. Taking time for you is critical! You have to plan out your success. You have to unleash your life power.

Andrew Carnegie once stated that you could take any one of his teams and put them anywhere in the world and they would be successful. He knew it was possible to achieve anything and was personally responsible for creating 40 millionaires in his lifetime. In 1908 Carnegie commissioned Napoleon Hill to interview the 500 most successful people in America and was given the task of identifying the commonalities of success among them.

Carnegie and Hill discovered that one of the characteristics of successful people is the ability to persevere. The ability to forge ahead and stick with whatever you’re doing and to see it through to completion, is a rare trait. But it is a skill you can learn.

Do you have what it takes? Do you have the ability to stick to it? Do you want to quit quitting? If you’re ready to take that step to join the top 5% of people in the world, then I am inviting you become a part of, Life Power Formula Coaching.

Your Personal Power: How to Live Above the Line

In 1995 I was in a hospital room visiting my brother when he was told by an oncologist that he had Stage-4 lung cancer. The doctor spoke of more tests to do and possible treatments, but he told him that he would “never” be free from cancer and that in all likelihood he would die within 8 months. Eight months later my brother Keith, age 39, died.

Then, I watched my mother fall into a continuous state of overwhelming grief which led to her decline in health and early death. In both cases I watched two very important people in my life wither away and die from what I believe was their inability to master and eliminate their own negative emotions, of grief, depression, and despair.

Napoleon Hill stated, “Whatever your mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.” That is much more powerful than most people understand. You see, if you believe you’re going to do anything it will happen. The more you concentrate on anything, the more likely the occurrence. Good or bad, it will be attracted to you.

I have been working with a mastermind group researching how emotions manifest the good or bad you experience in life. We have calibrated our research and have made a significant yet simple discovery. Anyone can harness their own mind power to create a “mind-culture of continuous improvement.” We help people do just that with a tool we call The Personal Power Index.

The PPI actually measures and calibrates our emotions on a scale of 0 to 1000. Emotions below the level of 200 are harmful and responsible for most of the dysfunctional behavior exhibited by many people, businesses, organizations and governments. People who operate constantly at this low level calibration actually create Cortisol a hormone produced by the adrenal gland which is physically harmful. Once it gets into your system it will take at least a full day to leave; and if you allow yourself to dwell in these low level emotions, Cortisol will linger in your body perpetually. We call these low level emotions “The Red Zone.”

On the other hand people who learn to live at or above the line with a calibration level of 200 or more are embracing positive energy and create endorphins that are healthy for you physically and mentally. A person operating above 200 will begin to attract all of the right people and resources to create lasting success and happiness. I like to say, “they are living above the line!”

The ego is that little voice in our heads that often trips us up when we seek to change our thinking in order to improve our lives. Ego is not the same thing as self-esteem. Positive self-esteem is healthy. An overactive ego can lead to significant dysfunction. When I speak to audiences, I use The Personal Power Index to help them realize the role ego plays in our lives. I tell them to remember that ego can mean “Edging Good Out.” So far, no one has left during that part of the talk and everyone remains focused. It’s like they are hearing this for the very first time and it makes perfect sense.

Embedding and embracing this information in your daily life is transformational. Masterminds with like-minded people will help that happen. Masterminds create accountability partners who will be there for you tomorrow, next month, next year and five years from now. Few people seek that kind of support. Lots of people attend seminars for motivation but as a friend of mine says, “You can’t learn to ride a bike in a seminar.” You must remain engaged with a powerful support team and practice what you learn daily.

Most people experience what I call “discreet and disconnected acts of improvement.” They attend seminars and workshops, but go back to life as usual the next day and seldom implement what they learned. Only those who purposely embrace continuous learning and who are supported and held accountable through masterminds (and other like support mechanisms) are the ones who will make consistent growth in their lives and businesses.

Andrew Carnegie said, “You can take any of my teams and place them anywhere in the world and they will be successful. “ Carnegie didn’t have The Personal Power Index, but he knew his teams and he knew their mental attitudes would make them perpetually successful. It can work for you too! Embrace life with all the wonders it has to offer. Commit today to live your life with passion and purpose by striving to live above the line and out of “The Red Zone.”
