Daymond John has been practicing the power of broke ever since he started selling his home-sewn t-shirts on the streets of Queens. With no funding and a $40 budget, Daymond had to come up with out-of-the box ways to promote his products. Luckily, desperation breeds innovation, and so he hatched an idea for a creative campaign that eventually launched the FUBU brand into a $6 billion dollar global phenomenon. But it might not have happened if he hadn’t started out broke - with nothing but a heart full of hope and a ferocious drive to succeed by any means possible.

How To Attract Money

2016-04-24T17:39:00.001-07:00

See yourself as a money magnet then position your mind to same frequency of the flow of money. To quite number of people money is scared! A lot of them will not believe that money is always available, the rich they said will keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer!

Even if you teach it to a large audience that money is present in overflowing abundance. This is just one truth that is very difficult for most people to believe. They justify their wrong belief with these thoughts, saying how come a lot of people do not have enough money in their pocket to spend if it is true that money is not scared? What a missing link.

If your hands find nothing to do attend to the cultivation of your brain! Many years ago it was said that men of old were living by their physical strength through the use of swords and arrows but the world of today the brain is the power house of success.

People do not possess money just because money likes to come to them, money comes to them because they are doing something in a certain way that attracts money to them. If you are always not having enough money to live a life of your choices, then you need to learn to do the things that attract money.

Quite a number of people live their lives doing what Repels money and thinking they are actually doing things that bring money to them, this is one major reason why a lot of people are poor.

Repelling money Equal attracting money. Many are in the business of selling their time. The only thing they know how to do best is sell their time working for people, not even considering whom or why they are working, with the people they work for.

Your time spent Equal a fraction of your life.

If you are in a business of selling your time, what you are simply doing is that you are selling a fraction of your precious life-time which is usually sold for a peanut. You cannot get rich by selling your time, you can only stay poor or be an average person doing what you are doing. Selling your time for money will give you the money that you can only manage to get.

Selling your time sets a limit on how much money you can attract in life, you cannot go above your boss in office. They wake up at early hours every day doing the same thing without change for peanut called salary, which is slavery mentality. Selling your time will not earn you the abundance of money you desire. It will not make you rich.

The Solution, Your Mindset;

Selling your ideas will do. The rich do not sell their time; they specialize on selling their wealth, what they do is convert their time into wealth and then employ others to help them sell the wealth while they pay their employees for the value of their time spent selling for them. The rich therefore convert their own time into wealth by using their time to create wealth. The rich think of creating the wealth that will fetch them unlimited money while the poor think of selling their time for limited amount of money, be wise.

NOTE:

Is working for others wrong? No! My next article you will learn the principles of how to convert your job to becoming a boss, you can Leverage on your job to become financially free.

Thanks Readers

Three Motivation Tips - It Start With a Goal

2013-02-08T22:46:00.002-08:00

Do you ever wonder why some people have so much motivation that they can graduate from college at 20, have their PhD by 25 and, have traveled the world by 30 - yet others are the complete opposite when it comes to motivation, and are still living at home with their parents at 40? Do you ever wonder exactly how you can be one of those people who are so motivated, they seem to get and do anything they put their minds to? It doesn't have to be that difficult, all you need are a few motivation tips to boost your day to day productivity and happiness - and guess what? They're all around you.

Most people need simple and easily implemented motivation tips. The vast majority of people who are highly motivated are generally running towards something (a dream, a goal, a desire, etc.), and in some cases, are running away from something (a fear, negativity, etc.). Your best option is to learn from these people and increase your own personal motivation. You need to discover exactly what it is you want to run towards (even if you are running away, there is usually something you are running towards at the same time). The first motivation tip is to find your passion! So, maybe you're 5'6" and known as 'shrimp' on the court.
This shouldn't matter to you. If basketball is your love, then you should play. Whether you want to play for the NBA or just a local neighborhood game, if you can motivate yourself to get out there and start playing, than why let anything else stop you? Motivation tips number two - don't let others determine what you can and can't do. Your professional life is on target, but you personal life is suffering. You find it easy to socialize at work, but lack the nerve and esteem to go out after work to meet new people. Whether you're looking for a soul mate or just some friends, you need to start attending social events and put yourself out on the line. But first, you need to set yourself a goal, i.e. meet ten new people. Don't stipulate about what will happen when you get there, just go.
Motivation tip number 3 is to set a goal, and don't be afraid to break out of your barriers to achieve it. These three easy motivation tips will help you get started. Remember, it all starts with a goal and how you will achieve it - this is an important step. Many who are wallowing in self-pity with a lack of motivation, aren't getting out because they don't have a clear idea of what they want. To most effectively motivate yourself, your goals need to be well-identified and focused. Goals such as "finish my BA within two years by taking 12 units a semester" or "increase my personal happiness in six months by improving my health and well-being through diet, exercise and interpersonal relationships" are much more achievable than nebulous goals. The person who merely says, "I want to be happy", or "I want to lose weight", or "I want to go back to school", is not going to have the same success.

When you narrowly identify your goals, it is easier to make well-thought out plans for them and your levels of motivation are easier to maintain because you start to see daily progress. When you want to maintain a consistent state of motivation, you need to plan and focus on one thing. You can't focus your efforts in several areas, you focus them on the areas that will help you succeed. If you are trying to get your BA, you need to focus, you need to study and you need to dedicate time towards it. It's that simple. The more consistent you are with maintaining motivation in one area of your life, the easier it will be to apply it to others.

Taking on too many goals at once, will just kill your motivation. Just like the old saying goes, "you can have anything you want, but you can't have everything." This may be true, but when you apply the motivation tips from above, you will start to see a difference. It will no longer be 'what you want', instead it will be 'what you can'!

Money 101

2010-09-15T02:52:00.000-07:00

A man worth is not measure by the abundance of money he has but how many life or situation he is able to put in order. Somebody says if you want to be successful just help enough people success. I tried to explain to us on my previous article, some of the things we can do to attract just enough money to our life, one of sure is how Time Management , time management can help you to be productive.

Time management is a very vital resource we should take very serious, there is a saying that says that time is money. Time is not actually money in quote, but can be a vital instrument that can put money in your bank account if well managed. Take all my money away and give me time I will double the money again.

Every time you spend working for people you have just sold a fraction of your precious life-time which you usually give out for a peanut.I just found a resoure that can you put a stop to it. Check it out! and let me know what you think.

What might be going through your mind right now is how can I attract this money, wait a minute, take a pause for a moment, let us first understand or define what money really is, reasons is it can change our mind –set, our believe and attitude about money, understand that money is never SCARE, this is a mind-set I have battle for long that money is scare, It take an ideal to call money to reality.
According to the definition of Commerce we are made to know that money is anything that is generally accepted, an not here to tell you what commerce say, they have all failed us, there is no sure class as Money 101, money is not taught in out elementary school, our community and family has all failed us. As entrepreneur we see things different from just definition, which is what our high school teachers has lived by for many years which has not bring any changes, we have to live beyond the boundary of what our school had taught us.

Still trying to understand what money is, let me put it this way that money is a Game and to every game there is a rule guiding it, so when you play to the rules you win, if you go against the rules you lose. I have two younger brothers. The first, there is nothing you give him that you come back to meet, he just spend it within a short time. The second, give him a bottle of coca cola he save it, give him money he save it that even you that gave him the money come back to borrow from him sometime with interest on it. He is productive with everything in his hands; he is not wasteful with every cent that comes to him.

This illustration is a picture and the beginning of attract money…… no matter how hard you work if you do not manage what come to you; you will not amount to anything in life. To control an empire of wealth, these 3 keys should not be ignored.

1. Value It
2. Control It
3. Save It

The secret to life is, anything you Value most you tend to Control it and if you can controlled it, there is every tendency you can Save it and if can save it, it will eventually work for you, by so doing you are already attracting money to yourself.Thanks

How to Use the Power of Words to Your Benefit

How to Use the Power of Words to Your Benefit
By Colin Dunbar

Someone I know maintains that "motivational words are great coming from philosophers, but that's because they're not in the real world." The power of words can be an incredible aid to helping us remain motivated and focused.

Abraham Lincoln certainly was in the "real world". So was Henry Ford. Napoleon Hill, Anthony Robbins, John Kehoe, and so the list goes on.

For most of us, the words we read have little impact on us and our lives, and especially on the setting of our goals. Here I hope to offer another way to look at words, and hopefully give the value of what words can mean with our goals and our lives.

The enormous amount of motivational material available - books, articles, motivational quotes - can (and does) help us to develop a positive attitude. But this does not occur by reading them as a novel or short story, that is, reading it once, and then never returning to the material.

When we use the concept known as spaced repetition, which is the reading of material repeatedly, but with breaks in between, words, and in particular motivational words become a powerful aid. This has an exceptional effect on our subconscious mind (and also works well with learning new material).

How much effort is there in that?

To use an example, consider the following motivational quote: "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it." Let's consider how these words can help us to develop a positive attitude, and as result make us more content.

"If you don't like something, change it."

Example, are you in a job that absolutely drains you mentally, and emotionally? Have you seriously looked at changing jobs? And here the key word is "seriously". Do we really investigate all our options? Do we consider dropping in salary (in the short term), but have work that stimulates us? Do we make a concerted effort to look for other positions?

Now for the second part. "If you can't change it, change the way you think about it."

Do we have any control over the petrol price? Do we have any control over getting a flat tyre? There is no way in the world we can change these occurrences by moaning about them.

Too often we throw up our hands in frustration, or drop our head in desperation. And what is the value of that? Does it rectify the problem? Absolutely not! So why do we allow outside influences to affect us detrimentally? Accept that which you have no control over, and your attitude will soar proportionately.

In practice, using spaced repetition, committing these words to memory, when the occasion arises, we almost automatically retrieve these words and the whole situation looks entirely different.

This is where the value of words comes into its own. A while ago, while pulling away from a traffic light, I was too slow for the driver behind me. He hooted and showed me to move. My first reaction was to become annoyed, and I was "talking" to him - in no uncertain terms. Then I asked myself what effect does that have on the situation? And realizing this I relaxed I continued on my journey. By the time I reached my destination, I had all but forgotten the incident.

Words can be of real value to us, if we use them correctly. Give it a try, and see the effect it has on your attitude, and on you as a person.

As Rudyard Kipling said: "Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind."

Make it your goal to...

Find a motivational quote and write this down. Give it a read at least twice a day - you'll be surprised at the results.

The Power Of Words

2010-06-21T03:27:00.000-07:00

The Power Of Words
By Mel Avila Alarilla.

Words can hurt. Words can build up or destroy. So let us be careful with what we say and how we say it. Words are cheap. There are words that cut deeply into one's soul and no amount of apologies can rectify the hurt that was done. We may feel good when we give someone a piece of our mind, but what about that someone? We may have left him devastated.

Disapproving words and words that belittle a little child can become a self fulfilling prophecy when he grows up. We may be disappointed with our children and we rebuke them with hurting words that cut deeply into their souls and shatter their self confidence. We can be sure that those words will hung in their necks and manifest in their lives when they grow up and mature.

Sometimes, words can provoke anger and violence. It is better to hold back our tongues when there is nothing good that we can say. As they say, silent waters run deep and a bubbling brook holds no depth. Gossips, idle talks and back stabbing are some of the worse words that can ever leave one's mouth. They do no good and destroy the reputation of others. Better to keep our peace and hold our tongues in check.

If we must speak, let us speak words of encouragements, words of inspiration, words of love and words that uplift rather than deflate others. Let us become harbingers of peace and joy to the world. Together with a winsome smile, gentle words of approbation uplifts the spirits of those we come in contact with. Let us bring joy, love, peace and harmony into the world by our gentle and soothing words.
