As The Midas Method practitioner myself, I am looking forward for more review and testimonial, here is one testimonial that with weekly review, great stuff!

“The Midas Method” In Real-Time : Week 1

Posted by Sylvia Dickens on 20th March 2007

As promised, here is the real-time report of my progress using The Midas Method.

Let me start with a brief overview of my situation and my expectations of this product.

Hi. My name is Sylvia Dickens and I’m a procrastinator. According to many ‘experts’, this has a base in fear – fear of success or fear of failure. I’ve yet to determine which one it is for me. The important thing is, it needs to change if I am to meet my goal of becoming financially secure for the rest of my life. I’m just tired of living a hand-to-mouth existence.

My Situation: Right now, I’m struggling to create success with my online business. I’ve been at it now for 2 years and it’s not where I want it to be. Apart from this, I’m constantly living in fear that I can lose everything because of the mounting bills. My mortgage is $800 a month, my income taxes are in arrears (again) by several thousand dollars, and my current $2,000 bank overdraft grows every month because my income doesn’t cover my expenses.

When I discovered The Midas Method, it promised to help me turn this around. It ‘claims’ that it can teach me how to overcome my current situation and become as wealthy as I wish. I don’t expect miracles, but having a $100,000 a year income would be very comfortable for me. So that’s my goal.

I’ve read about 1/2 of The Midas Method and have already learned a few other things about myself. Basically I’m a “can do” type of person. What I don’t know, I’ll learn. This creates more confusion within me because with this approach, I can’t help but wonder why can’t I succeed.

All my life I’ve been a serious procrastinator. I can always find other things to do, am easily distracted, and often don’t complete tasks I plan.

So far, I’ve learned that I probably am being held back by the negative feedback I endured most of my childhood and teen years.

Stuart Goldsmith, author of The Midas Method, claims he can show me how to get into my subconscious and eliminate the negativity that has become part of me.
I’m still struggling to grasp the statement he implies, that I don’t feel I deserve to succeed and that it’s likely I have an “I can’t” mentality. Then, I listen to how I phrase my thoughts and I realize that while I tell myself, “I can do this, all I have to do is learn and I can do that,” I also hear, “If I’d had the positive feedback and support early on, I would be able to succeed. It’s difficult when you’ve been brainwashed with negativity about yourself and your accomplishments.”

I need this to work. The Midas Method all but promises to turn it around.

Exercise #1:

This morning, I did my first exercise. This will be my daily exercise for the next 2 months.

Now, I can’t tell you what it is without divulging the entire program presented in The Midas Method. What I can tell you is it only took me a few seconds to do when I first awoke. I’ve also been taking a closer look at those two thoughts I mentioned in the paragraph above. It’s true. I’ve always told myself that I’d be far better off if I’d had the right support from the beginning.

Exercise #2:

The second exercise involved goal setting, but with a twist. He takes a totally different approach to this and blows away all other advice on just how to do this. Using his technique, I can see how your mind actually changes. It’s refreshing because you aren’t trying to trick yourself into believing you can become a millionaire or have all the nice things you desire, or that you already are in possession of those things. Your subconscious and conscious minds seem to appreciate this and seem to become more responsive to your suggestions for change.

Result:
I must admit, this did make me feel a little better about my potential, but it’s too early yet to tell. I’ve also come to realize just how much I use the lack of positive support as an excuse to fail. He might be onto something there.

My impressions so far:

Stuart covers some familiar territory here with his discussions of positive thinking and negative self-talk. I’ve done considerable work in the past with positive thinking exercises and do believe in them. At first, I thought this book was just another positive thinking manual, but it isn’t.

Stuart really shows you the trick to making direct contact with your subconscious mind, where all the negativity and road blocks hide. The first 2 exercises were a surprise, if for no other reason than their deceptive simplicity. I could actually feel a slight shift in my thinking right away. It’s only minor at this point, but this is just my first day.

I can’t wait to repeat these exercises for the next 8 weeks and see what results they bring.

Stay Tuned!

Success With Midas Method!

2009-07-20T23:44:00.000-07:00

Dear Friend,

If you can spare just 20 minutes a day, relaxing in an armchair with your eyes closed, then I can show you how to quickly and easily make all the money you could ever want, and achieve your dreams of freedom, empowerment and security - for yourself and your family.

Here's what it's about....

Some years back, a man of quite average intelligence accidentally stumbled upon one of the most potent wealth creation systems known. Using it for just a few minutes daily, he rapidly transformed himself from miserable debt-ridden wage slave to internationally famous multimillionaire author/entrepreneur.

He calls the system he discovered The Midas Method (after the mythical King Midas, who turned everything he touched into solid gold). And once you learn it, YOU too can have the golden touch.

Too good to be true? I'd have said so, if I hadn't experienced its power myself. I have personally used this system to manifest financial independence (no more 9 to 5), a debt-free countryside home, and as much free time as I desire.

But let's face it. Most "get rich" information out there is pure baloney. You already know that, if you've bought much of it. Big promises. Fancy systems only a genius can figure out. Frankly, those self-proclaimed "gurus" are the only ones getting fat out of the whole deal.

So, you're right to be skeptical. You need solid evidence. And by the time we're done, you'll have it.

So what makes The Midas Method different? 3 reasons:

(1) Unlike all the fancy schemes out there, this wealth creation system really is simple. It doesn't require money, connections, or a genius IQ. In fact, you do 75% of it in just 20 minutes a day. And that's with your eyes closed!

(2) The Midas Method was discovered by a person with no special talent or advantages. Which means, if he can do it, so can you.

His name is Stuart Goldsmith. And he used The Midas Method to create a $16,000,000 fortune, starting from debt. Stuart's life proves the system can work for anyone. As he says:
"I became a millionaire in eight years, starting with an overdraft! I promise to you now that I am just an ordinary guy with no special gifts or talents for making money. I wasn't lucky either; in fact I had a lot of bad luck...", Stuart Goldsmith, author of The Midas Method

(3) Stuart Goldsmith's secrets have helped thousands of people find freedom, empowerment and financial independence.

And they've gained the sheer joy of knowing 100% for certain that they'll never ever have to do what they hate, just to "make a living" , again!

Click here to read the testimonials of just a few of the many people Stuart has helped through his courses and books, including The Midas Method.

Imagine what this could mean for you...

To really know you can easily generate all the cash you want - for a beautiful new home, luxury car or a sunny vacation abroad. How proud you'll feel seeing your family totally provided for. Feel what it would be like to have all the spare time you need to pursue your personal dream. What would that dream be, for you personally?....

This really is possible for you...

Paradigm Shifts, Change The You See Things And The Things You See Will Begin Change

2009-04-06T20:36:00.000-07:00

Introduction:

According to the Science of Getting Rich Principle, you will get rich regardless of the place you live, the business or job you are in or the people surrounding you, you will only get rich when you change your own believe, it is all in your mind.
Let's begin the story:

I first came across the idea of paradigm shifts I believe in Stephen Coveys book, “The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective people”, which as I have mention on a number of occasions I highly recommend. Since then I have found the topic cover by Anthony Robbins, Wayne Dyer and a number of other authors in the personal development field.

The idea is this, you cannot always change a situation that you find yourself in, however, you can always change the way in which you interpret that situation and apply meaning to it. This change of meaning is the paradigm shift. Perspective would be another good word to describe a paradigm shift, to change your paradigm is to change your perspective.

To illustrate this Stephen Covey uses a great example of a man on a train with some very noisy and poorly behaved children. A fellow passenger becomes more and more irritated at the parents inability to make any attempt to control his children, believing that the parent just doesn’t care the passenger becomes very upset. Finally the angry passenger snaps at the parent demanding that he controls his children. The parent responds with an apology and an explanation that their mother had just passed away hours earlier and neither he nor his children really knew how to deal with the situation. Immediately the passenger changed his attitude from anger and frustration to one of sympathy and understanding. This change in attitude was the paradigm shift, you could also say he gained a new perspective of the situation and found new meaning.

As you can see, the situation this passenger found himself in did not change at all, what changed was how he view and interpreted what was happening in that situation. To quote Wayne Dyer, “change the way you see things, and the things you see will start to change”. The lesson here I think is this, if a situation seems poor, do not immediately judge it at face value! Look for paradigm shifts and look for alternative meanings. Take a second and ask the question “what else could this mean? What else could possibly be happening here?”. Sadly it is very easy and natural to jump to conclusions, often the wrong conclusion, by asking yourself some good questions it is possible to change your perspective and generally make life easier and more enjoyable.

The Power of A Smile

2009-04-06T20:26:00.000-07:00

Introduction:
This article is very true for the current situation where everything seems very bad, people loosing job everyday, bankruptcy everyday and many people are now out of a shelter to live, why not put a smile on your face and let's begin with a positive mental attitude, change your within and you can expect the change in without!
Let's begin...

Have you ever been around someone who is constantly grumbling about how bad things are? Whether it's something big or something small, they choose to grumble. Life just can't be that hard. Some people just haven't taken the time to realize that what we dwell on is what we create. If we dwell on how bad things are and that thought consumes our days, then we can only bring other bad things into our lives.

Quite a few years ago I met a remarkable little girl named Alahna. Her brother was taking lessons at the karate school. Alahna would come to watch her brother take class. During class she would attempt to do the same movements that her brother was doing while she was watching class. The movements of the martial arts were difficult for Alahna because she was supported by a walker. Alahna needed the walker because she has cerebral palsy. For those unfamiliar with cerebral palsy it is a condition where the brain can't properly tell the muscles what to do. In Alahna's case, the muscles become too tight.

Years have now passed. Instead of watching karate class, Alahna has convinced her parents to let her take karate lessons. This young lady chooses to make the best of what many might perceive as a difficult situation. You can recognize Alahna by her effort and her smile. It's not a once in a while thing. It's an everyday, an every minute thing. Alahna is always smiling. That smile of hers is even there when she's having a tough day or when she is unable to do something during one of her classes. Her incredible smile is the outward sign of the remarkable spirit within.

Alahna is the ultimate example of strength of mind, power of choice, and power of the human spirit. She chooses to live her life to it's fullest and she chooses to live it with that great smile. All of us could learn from this incredible young lady. Our daily struggles pale in comparison to hers. She chooses to fight the good fight and always do it with that ever present smile. Watch her in class sometime and invite anyone that you might know who chooses to complain and gripe about how bad they have it to come over and learn something from Alahna. We should all be so blessed as to have her passion for life. She's an inspiration to all of our students. Be sure to smile.

Make the plan, work the plan,

Fred Nicklaus

Allow Me to Hold Your Hand to Success!

2009-01-04T21:30:00.000-08:00

Once, a man named Joe and his little girl were crossing a wooden-bridge in Tarrytown, New York.

Joe was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, "Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river."

The little girl said, "No, Dad. You hold my hand."

"What's the difference?" Asked the puzzled father.

"There's a big difference," replied the little girl.

"If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go."

In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

As you may already know, over the last 40 years of Bob Proctor's life he's been holding people's hands and leading them step-by-step across the bridge to a life of richness and success.

If you allow him to hold your hand... he promises to keep your faith and lead you to a world of insane wealth and prosperity.

Your Energy Level Determines Your Luck

2008-03-02T18:31:00.000-08:00

Original posted in Mind Power New.

Many people think that luck is something that is purely random, unpredictable and difficult to control. That is because they do not know what luck really is. When you are able to know the true definition of luck, you can learn the whole science behind this phenomena and gain control over it.

Luck is another aspect of your reality and perhaps the most powerful and important one. The more conscious and aware you become of the elements of your reality, the more of a conscious and powerful creator you will be.

Your luck is your psychokinetic resonance with the environment you are in. Like everything else, luck is an energy. It is something that is quantifiable not in physical but in nonphysical ways. You can quantify it physically only in terms of its physical manifestations in your life. Luck is dependent on time, place and consciousness.

When you are lucky, you are in mental and emotional resonance with your surroundings.

When you are unlucky, it is the opposite. The level of resonance is the level of your luck.

Luck is also a feeling or emotion because emotion is energy in motion. When you are lucky, you are also feeling lucky. Your feeling is your vibration and therefore you are vibrating luck and feeing it. You feel and experience that everything is working for you when you are lucky.

You feel that everything is working against you when you aren't lucky. A state of vibrational harmony or disharmony with your environment is the whole explanation for this. You either feel that things are in a flow or things are disrupted.

Your energy level determines your luck vibration. At times when you are feeling low of energy, that is also when your luck vibration is at a low point. You are more likely to make careless mistakes, become more accident prone and flop up in some way. When you are feeling high of energy, that is also when your luck vibration is in a high state. You are sharper, clearer and more in the zone. You seem to be able to do amazing things in ways that baffle others to the point that makes you seem very skillful or lucky.

Actually luck and skill are one. The more in energetic resonance you are with your environment, the more your skill will work and the luckier you'll seem. You can always observe that when the best are in action, they always seem to have both their skill and the situation working for them. You can never separate luck from skill because after all, they are both part of the same thing called psychokinetic resonance with the environment. Your skill is your capability of handling the situation which depends on luck.

Once you know that luck is an energy, you can depend on it in that manner. You cannot depend on luck that is considered to be random chance occurrence. You can't depend on such things because they do not exist. A non existent thing cannot be depended upon. Everything that exists is a part of consciousness and can be controlled by consciousness. Therefore luck exist and is fully under your control. Knowing this, you never have to fear of bad luck because you can make all things work in your favor.

Since luck is dependent on energy, you have to pay attention to your level of energy in every moment and take charge of it. When you notice that your energy level is low, be more careful with the things you do especially if they are important. You may make mistakes that usually never happen, and wonder how could you be so unlucky or stupid.

You may realize that every time you have made careless or stupid mistakes that seem to be like bad luck, it was when your energy level was indeed at a low point.

Lack of focus and lack of being adequately present minded also creates bad luck. Do you notice that when you make stupid mistakes in situations, you felt that you were not ready? What do you mean by not being ready? You mean that you weren't focusing properly or fully enough, and you weren't being adequately present minded. The first step to controlling luck is to be present minded. If you want to be lucky, you must put your focus in the activity you are doing. Or else you'd create bad luck and mistakes.

Your level of focus and placing your mind in the present determines your psychokinetic resonance with the environment. Focusing is how you channel energy towards a particular time and place. When your focus is here, your energy is channeled here and you experience luck here. Where you focus is where you generate luck in. That is why the secret of success is focus. Successful people are lucky people because they have more focus than the unsuccessful and unlucky ones. Focus to be a lucky one.

Seek to maintain a high level of energy or vibration at all times. People who experience their luck going up and down throughout the day allow their energy to go up and down. People who experience their luck being consistently high all the time maintain their energy and vibration at a high level. At times when your energy is low, seek to increase it to a higher level again. Do not continue doing any work at a low level of energy because you will tend to make mistakes. Recharge your energy first, then work.

Be aware of negative thoughts and feelings that will bring your level of energy or vibration lower. Positive thoughts and feelings bring your energy level and vibrations higher. Therefore choose to think positive thoughts and feel positive emotions, and you will experience more luck and success in your life. You can also increase your luck when you are more intent of succeeding in a certain situation. Your energy of intent will energize you with the luck you need, and that is why willful intent bends the world to you.

Noah's Ark Found in Mont Ararat

2007-11-15T21:47:00.000-08:00

一支由科學家和方舟探索家組成的探索隊，於土耳其東部的亞拉臘山上尋找挪亞方舟遺蹟時，發現巨型的木結構化石。

背景資料：傳說或歷史
土耳其東部的亞拉臘山，據基督教《聖經》及伊斯蘭教聖典《可蘭經》記載，大洪水後挪亞方舟即停於此。當地世代流傳着有關方舟的傳說，及其停泊位置的秘密。遠古的歷史記錄，以及近代聲稱目擊方舟的報導、人造衛星圖片、尋獲木塊的消息等，這些繪形繪聲的描述，令人深信方舟依然存在。支持這說法的發現眾多，惜當中擁有實質証據或經過詳細考查的卻寥寥可數。

登山契機：發現木結構化石
為解開方舟之謎，挪亞方舟國際事工自從首支華人探索隊於2004年首次登山尋找方舟後，一直密切聯繫土耳其考古學家、地質學家和潛水及登山專家，計劃進行科學探索。

2006年8月，一名庫爾德族的探索家於亞拉臘山上一個洞內發現不明物體，懷疑是木塊。他立刻聯絡相熟的香港探索隊隊員，並於9月把樣本送往香港作科學分析。香港大學地球科學系應用地球科學中心對該樣本進行岩相分析，鑒定它為石化木結構。

2006年11月發佈的研究報告(AGC/NSD-A/PE/7-9-2006)節錄如下：

「木結構：
…所見的深色、平衡及極為扭曲的紋理，相信是沿著樹枝末梢中管狀木組織原來的洞孔。大洞孔應該是樹木長出橫枝的地方。.

礦物學
於某些位置，洞孔被個別礦物部分或完全取替。礦物是岩石中的結晶体物質。…[是次樣本有兩種礦物，主要是長石，以及角閃石。]…

四次探索：重大的發現
木結構的確證促使方舟探索隊於發現現場進行實地探索。這支由香港及土耳其人組成的探索隊於2007年2月由土耳其和伊朗邊境的城市杜古拜亞斯出發前往亞拉臘山，展開長達半年的艱辛旅程。

2007年2月13日，探索隊開始首次探索，企圖到達發現石化木的位置 (地點A)。惜登山途中遇上大風雪，旅程被迫中斷。經過多番奮力掙扎，探索隊最終在一星期後，成功抵達位於海拔4,000米以上的地點A。在進入洞穴及拍攝途中，隊員駭然發現野熊居住的痕跡。在缺乏打獵裝備保護的情況下，眾人只好撤退離開。

探索隊亦曾嘗試穿過一個水洞，要到達另一懷疑方舟所在地(地點B)，但急速的水流令眾隊員卻步。基於天氣及安全理由，探索隊惟有結束探索。
2007年3月及5月其間，探索隊再兩度嘗試登山探查。然而，通往地點A的山路受大風雪封鎖；地點B亦因早前地震而下陷。尋舟過程困難重重，探索隊幾番努力也未有所獲。

至今年夏天8月，探索隊終於在第四次旅程中取得成功。探索隊隊員再次冒險進入該尋獲石化木的洞穴（地點Ａ），進行量度和拍攝。石化木體積龐大，長11.5米，高2.6米。在移除石化木上的火山灰後，白色的木質地清晰可見。

這是探索隊在亞拉臘山上首次發現巨型木結構，並具科學驗證、以及清晰的實地影像記錄等憑據。這次的發現不單能堪稱近代方舟探索史上最大的突破，更成為擁有最多實質證據的發現。

石化木來源：方舟推論
正確的木塊鑒證，是探索方舟遺跡其中一項的重要問題。化驗報告清楚指出，在亞拉臘山上尋獲的樣本為石化木。據土耳其大學的鄂台．貝利教授說，亞拉臘山高處的嚴酷氣候，已持續4000多年，令高地缺乏樹木生長。因此，挪亞方舟國際事工推斷，該石化木極有可能為古老文物，而非自然生長於海拔4,000米以上的樹木。

另外，埃迪爾內省蒂拉基亞大學的烏茲霖．捷域博士說，該洞穴位於高海拔地帶，其嚴峻環境不宜人類聚居，亦從未發現人類棲息於附近地區的證據。此外，木結構的龐大體積，亦無法輕易運載登山。與會的考古學家認為，該木結構不可能是高海拔地區的建築木材，而傳統上在亞拉臘山鄰近一帶，也主要以泥磚建屋，只輔以小量木材。

亞拉臘山上有關木塊來源的線索中，有確實記載只有《聖經》中的挪亞方舟，此外沒有文獻可考。因此，挪亞方舟國際事工認為，這木塊是方舟遺骸一部份的推斷是合理的。當地人相信，亞拉臘山上的方舟遺骸於1840年地震後，斷裂成三段，並分佈於山上不同地點。而地質學家、卡赫拉曼馬拉什省舒主教長大學的阿密．烏茲伯博士認為，斷裂的部份有可能在其後被地震引發的雪崩或火山泥流掩埋，而尋獲的石化木，原先可能於地震後被火山灰急速掩埋。在合適的情況下，開始石化過程。

未來展望：深入探索
與會的科學家和土耳其政府官員均認同這次探索是重大的發現，有進一步研究的必要。挪亞方舟國際事工將於2008年1月於土耳其亞勒省杜古拜亞斯 –亦即亞拉臘山所在省份，舉辦新聞發佈會，與土耳其當地學者及政府官員簽發共同合作協議，並計劃於2008年夏天再次登山，進行更仔細的探索。

由十月二十一號開始，一連四周，逢星期日晚上九時正，在亞洲電視本港台，【地球深度行IV】將會播出幾次探索的精彩過程。由本年12月開始，化石會存放於挪亞方舟國際事工的總部，市民可以預約形式參觀。

Food for Thinking - Positive Thoughts

2007-11-14T20:11:00.000-08:00

I want to share this good read from a post in Positive Club Forum

Greetings Friends,

We are constantly creating our World around us, our environment and ourselves; that’s why I feel we should be more creative with the thoughts we think. I will give you an example of the devastating effects the wrong kind of thinking can have in our lives.

These two people were both in the same Hospital, where they had been diagnosed with the same type of cancer and both were given the same prognosis…they had 3 months to live.

They both were given the same orthodox treatment, and they do not know one another…
Here is how each reacted to the news that they had cancer and only 3 months to live.

One, when he was told he had cancer and about the prognosis, went into thinking by Default; he started making associations with his past experiences, “the big C” and all the people he knew who got cancer and died. He went into a downwards spiral of Negativity…he was as good as dead because he abdicated all responsibility for his body, and left it to the Doctors…he did die in the space of 3 months.

The other had a totally different attitude; when he was told the news same as the previous man, his reaction was completely different. He did not go into Default thinking, he went into Creative thinking mode and decided his body was his responsibility, and he had to be involved in the healing process in order to get well again; so, he thought to himself…I am going to beat this thing.

He started by finding out what was there for him to take Positive action and an active part in getting well. The first thing he did was to learn to Meditate, this gave him the calmeness and clarity of mind and thought he needed, he did not go into dispair, doom and gloom. He used Natural Alternative methods in tandem with orthodox treatment he was on. He left no stone unturned looking for ways in which he could help himself get well again. He had no time to sit around feeling sorry for himself, or doom and gloom. He was a man of action, a man with a mission and it was the mission of his life. He knew of no higher incentive.

He got well, and last I heard 8 years after he was diagnosed with only 3 months to live, he was alive and well and enjoying Life to the full with his family and friends.

Why did one die and the other survive? It was all in the thoughts they were thinking and their attitudes!

Positive thoughts create happy, healthy body cells, whilst Negative thoughts create diseased cells in your body; so we do not have to be rocket scientists to know which thoughts to think, do we?

So, in short; if you suffer from a life threatening disease, such as cancer…cancer thrives on Negativity and pessimism, because these states create Free Radicals in the body and these free radicals which will go on getting more cancerous. Whereas Positive thoughts and Optimism thoughts create healthy happy cells in our bodies, thus depriving the cancer of what it needs to grow.

I am presenting this to you as food for thought, and not as food for thinking by Default.

Cheers.

Antonio.

An Inspiration True Story From a Beijing Taxi Driver

2007-11-13T23:47:00.000-08:00

I was in Beijing last week for business meeting, I hoped on a taxi from the hotel to the meeting place, we start a conversation with the taxi driver.

I have not taken down his name but he is surely using the Law of Attraction unknowingly.

He has a family of 3, unlike other taxi driver who trying to get more passenger a day to earn a living, he live happily with a mindset of let the universe decide his earning, when there are a 2 taxis in the queue waiting for a passenger, he just let another taxi driver to take on this passenger if another taxi driver is claiming that this is his passenger, he told me that miracle always happen if he give away to another taxi driver, the next passenger who hop on his taxi usually travel further and more generous for tips, he will make back in 10 folds with his kindness.

There was once a tourist from USA who have short of 1 RMB (1 US$ = 8 RMB)to pay for the taxi fare, he wave his hand and said in friendly tone taht it is OK for 1 RMB short and he do not find 1 RMB cause him any trouble at all. In return, the visitor insisted to pay him US$5 as a tip and he was so happy to make an easy 40 times of what he has given away.... A true Law of Attraction in Action.

San Francico Family Can't Make it on $55,000 a Year

2007-11-13T17:42:00.000-08:00

This is an interesting article about Living Expenses in San Fransico

Maria Frias thinks of herself as middle class.

She works as an office manager for Bay Area Legal Aid, where she draws a salary of about $27,000 a year. Her husband, Ricardo, drives a laundry truck and takes in about $26,000.

But all they can afford is a $750-a-month, one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood. They sleep in the same room as their daughters, Stephanie, 10, and Andrea, 6. They have no telephone. And Frias has to set aside about $400 a month to pay off a credit card balance that went into collection.

"It's so hard," Frias said. "I'm falling behind."

The hard truth is that $53,000 a year doesn't cut it anymore in the Bay Area. Tens of thousands of working families in the region, even those with what many would consider decent-paying jobs, find a modestly comfortable standard of living is out of their reach.

A family of four in the Bay Area with two working adults must earn $77,069, equaling an hourly wage of $18.53, just to pay for basic necessities, a study released today calculates. If only one adult works, that figure falls to $53,075, largely because the family doesn't have to pay for child care, according to the report by the California Budget Project, a liberal Sacramento research group. But that one wage-earner must make $25.52 an hour.

And a single parent with two children needs to take in $65,864 annually, at an hourly wage of $31.67, to cover expenses, the Budget Project figures.

Statewide, the two-working-parent family needs an annual income of $72,343 to cover necessities; the family with one working adult must earn $50,383.

That's in a state with one of the highest minimum hourly wages in the country - $7.50. In San Francisco, the minimum wage is even higher, $9.14. The federal minimum wage is $5.85.

"Most Californians live on less than $50,000," said Michael Shires, an associate professor of public policy at Pepperdine University.

The Bay Area is by many measures the richest region in the United States. Median household income - the level at which half of households are above and half below - was $62,024 in 2000, the highest in the nation, according to the Census Bureau.

But that means that almost half of all households in the region don't take in what the Budget Project reckons is needed to make ends meet. Those families often must do without some of the things viewed as essential to middle-class life, such as health insurance or a separate bedroom for the kids.

The federal poverty threshold, used by the government to calculate how many of the nation's people are poor, is an income of $20,650 for a family of four. That means basic necessities in the Bay Area cost roughly 2.5 times the federal poverty level.

"This report shows that we do need to look at families substantially above the poverty line," said Jean Ross, the Budget Project's executive director.

Today's report marks the fourth time the project has toted up the cost of living in California. The last study, issued two years ago, showed that a two-parent family with one wage earner needed to bring in $46,919 to maintain a minimal middle-class living standard; a two-earner family required $70,708. The higher cost this year largely reflects rising health insurance premiums.

Project researchers looked at a living standard above a bare-bones existence, but covering only basic expenses, with little margin for discretionary outlays such as vacations and college tuition.

They estimated prices of housing, child care, transportation, food, health care, taxes and miscellaneous, a category that lumps together everything else. They looked at rental costs rather than home ownership and made certain other assumptions that have big effects on living standards.

For example, they included as a necessity individually purchased health insurance, although many families are covered at least partly through work. And, in an effort to figure what it takes to support a family without public assistance, they didn't consider the help many families get from government benefits such as housing and child health care subsidies.

According to those assumptions, the biggest expense was rent, estimated at an average of $1,312 for a family of four in the Bay Area, higher than the statewide estimate of $1,160. Child care was the second biggest outlay at about $1,216, followed by taxes and health coverage.

Real families, of course, vary tremendously in their spending. Until a few months ago, Maria and Ricardo Frias, who are both 34, paid a babysitter $800 every four weeks. Now, the daughters attend after-school programs until Maria is able to pick them up at the end of the day.

They pay rent far below the project's estimate, but the trade-off is that they don't have the space they need. Maria gets medical insurance through her job, but she says her out-of-pocket expenses are heavy. The Friases also are paying today for past living expenses, when they earned far less, in the form of credit card finance charges.

The couple has tried many times to come up with a way to pay for a two-bedroom apartment and adult education.

"Really working hard and maybe getting a second job ... that would be the only way," Maria Frias said.

Families in the Bay Area and the rest of the state use a variety of strategies to cope with high living costs, Ross noted.

"People cut corners in a variety of ways," she said. "Some are in below-market-rate housing. Many people go without health coverage. And a lot of people live by spending more than they earn.

The project says its findings show a need for public spending on social programs, such as subsidized child care and health coverage. Health spending is at the center of a major policy debate in California, where Gov. Schwarzenegger and state lawmakers are weighing plans for universal coverage.

"Many families may need assistance to make ends meet," said Ross, the project's executive director.

Those who believe government's role should be limited disagree.

"To say $50,000 is a minimum to have a modest middle income lifestyle is a reasonable statement," Pepperdine's Shires said. "But you have to be careful when you start talking about policy implications."

For her part, Maria Frias is sometimes frustrated and at other times philosophical about what it costs to raise a family.

"I see other people who are worse," she said, "and I consider myself lucky."

Think Like a Millionaire

2007-11-12T19:28:00.000-08:00

You do want to know how to earn a million dollars, don't you? This article may challenge some of your beliefs about millionaires. I will suggest you read it with an open mind, digest what is being discussed here and apply them for six months.

Wealth is in the mind

Firstly, see the million dollars in your mind. Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich said, "What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."

Millionaires see the money in their mind before they make them physically. They visualize making the millions in their mind. They focus their mind and energy in making that money rather than the lack of money.

Your thought sends out intention on what you focus on. You attract what you focus. The more energy is focused on money, the more you will have it. Likewise focusing your mind on lacking of money will attract the lack of money.

Ask yourself, did you focus on the amount of money left in your bank at the end of the month and starts to get worried about it? That's probably is the reason why you remains stagnant in your financial result. You focus on lack, instead on abundance.

Your mind is a powerful tool to attract wealth. However, it can also be a powerful tool for poverty. Use it wisely, see it in your mind and believe it strongly.

Think hard

Most will say millionaires work hard. I disagree with it. If working hard brings you enormous money, there won't be too many poor people in the world. There are billions of people who worked very hard, but they are no where near being a millionaire.

Well, it's true millionaires invest 60-70 hours a week in creating wealth, but it may not be true that they are physically working. I would suggest that instead of working hard, they are thinking hard.

They are thinking of ways to create more money. Creating new ideas and solution for any challenges.

Give generously

Most people have the mindset that the rich are stingy. That’s absolutely not true. Some of the rich are probably the most generous people in the world. Warren Buffet gives away all his money. Bill Gates donated millions away.

Start giving today with no expectation of returns. The Universe will return what belongs to you ten or hundred folds.

Teen Millionaire - Inspiration

2007-11-12T18:54:00.000-08:00

Teen Millionaire

Not so long ago, teen Ashley Qualls lived in a one-bedroom apartment with her mom and sister. But with her computer and savvy business sense she made a better life for all of them.
By KEVIN SITES, TUE OCT 30, 12:11 AM PDT

Ashley Qualls doesn't sound like a typical high school student. Maybe that's because the 17-year-old is the CEO of a million-dollar business.

Ashley is the head of whateverlife.com, a website she started when she was just 14 — with eight dollars borrowed from her mother. Now, just three years later, the website grosses more than $1 million a year, providing Ashley and her working class family a sense of security they had never really known.

This teenage CEO bought her family a 4-bedroom house and built herself an office in the basement.

It all started with capitalism 101, the law of supply and demand. Ashley became interested in graphic design just as the online social networking craze began to catch fire.

When she saw her friends personalizing their MySpace pages, she began creating and giving away MySpace background designs through Whateverlife. The designs are cheery, colorful and whimsical, with lots of hearts, Ashley's favorites.

She also pulled quotes from popular songs and built backgrounds around those themes. "Teenage girls love quotes," Ashley says, scrolling through some of her site's 3,000 designs, more than a third of which she made herself.

Thanks to Ashley's work ethic and savvy cultivation of her peer group as a target market, Whateverlife began pulling in more teenage girls than a Justin Timberlake concert - about a million a day. With a big audience, the site attracted advertisers. Ashley's first check was for $2,700. The next was for $5,000, the third for $10,000.

"OMG Robot" is one of the backgrounds designed by whateverlife.com

At the time, Ashley's parents were divorced. She and her little sister, Shelby, were all crammed into her mother's one-bedroom apartment.

When first the check arrived, her mother was doubtful, wondering if her daughter could really make money off a website. But Ashley was confident, telling her mother: "No, I really trust this. I think it's really gonna happen."

Ashley was right. The checks kept coming and the business kept growing-to the point where she could afford to buy a brand new four-bedroom house for them to live in. Ashley also hired her mother, Linda LaBrecque, to help manage the company.

"You know, when I'm with my friends, I'm still 17." — Ashley Qualls

It was and has been a bittersweet time for them both. "It's hard to be a mom and a manager," LaBrecque says. The roles clash every day, she says, but they manage by keeping a sense of humor.

She's proud of Ashley. Prior to starting the business, she says, her daughter was too shy to even order a pizza by phone. Now she's making presentations to business executives.

The job has also made LaBrecque's life easier, allowing her to quit her job and work from home following back surgery.

But Ashley's life has become much more complicated. When her business took off, the former straight-A student quit school to concentrate on Whateverlife.

"It's a busier schedule," Ashley says. "There's more to keep track of, whether its finances or employees and making sure everything is up to date and the content is secure."

Ashley has created background designs for songs by popular artists like Britney Spears.

This MySpace background design includes lyrics from the new Spears song "Gimme More."

In addition to her mom, Ashley hired three friends to help with the business, teaching them design and then requiring them to make a minimum of 25 designs a week.

Bre Newby says Ashley is a better boss than her past employers. "It's cool to have your best friend be like your boss," says Bre, "'cause she's a good boss. She's not like rude or it's not like working at McDonald's where you have like supervisors and people over you all the time."

Has the price of Ashley's business success been the loss of a part of her childhood? She doesn't think so.

"You know, when I'm with my friends, I'm still 17," she says.

But time with friends sometimes has to take a back seat to business. On a recent afternoon, her three friends drop by to hang out with Ashley, but they have to wait for her to finish with her business advisor, internet consultant Robb Lippitt.

Ashley and Robb sit on plastic chairs around a white conference table in Ashley's basement office, the walls decorated with hearts, like a Whateverlife background.

The conversation includes overtures from Hollywood and a possible deal to help promote Britney Spears's new album on Jive Records.

Ashley has even turned down a deal for her own reality television program. "I'm really stubborn, like my mom," she says, "So I know what I want from business. And I don't want that. I like my privacy. I like to hang out with my friends. I don't want cameras following me around."

For his part, Lippit says he had concerns about working with a teenager, but Ashley won him over in the first meeting. "She doesn't sit there and say, ‘I did something well-that's good enough,'" says Lippit. He says Ashley knows, without being told, that she needs to keep developing her business, or it will stop growing.

Unlike many adults, Ashley has not succumbed to the temptations that new wealth can bring. She pays herself a modest salary of $3,000 a month. Aside from the house, she hasn't made any other major purchases.

"I don't even know how to put this," says Ashley, "But it's just kind of like the shiny feeling that when you have this money, it kind of goes away after a while. It gets old, you know. Yeah, I can go out and buy you know something really cool. But at the same time I mean I don't really need too much. I like to invest it back into the business."

Despite all her success, one thing that has eluded her - something most of her friends already have - is a driver's license.

"My mom does drive me. And then my friends drive me wherever we go," she says, "And I want to drive. Believe me. But it's just been kind of crazy lately."

It may be the one thing about Ashley's life that reminds you she really IS still a teenager.

8 Simple Steps To Manifest Money Fast
- as in NOW
By: Jeanna Gabellini

Let me start off by acknowledging that I have been flat broke before. Not just once or twice. I have had those times where I was completely stressed about how I was going to pay for the bills sitting in my payables files that were due two days ago (in some cases very past due!) I have also had times where I've had more than enough money to pay all my bills and buy boats, cars and take big vacations.

I have had both of the experiences above in a matter of weeks. I tell you all this so that I can give you some back ground about myself and that you know I'm not going to be talking in theory. I'm going to explain, very simply, what I've done to get back into alignment with creating more than enough money and how to go beyond my current level of wealth.

1. Draw a line in the sand. Make a choice. From this moment forward you will attract more money and create a structure and habits that support a new and improved level of wealth. You have to mean this. You need to be hungry for change.

2. You must believe you can do this. Even if you are scared that this time won't be different from the other times, you have made this choice. You will take some actions now that will not allow you to slip out the backdoor on yourself. Take a little bit of effort now to support yourself in the bigger goal.

3. What is it exactly that you want to be different? If you want more money to come in the door, how much and how often? Do you want an extra $10,000 this year or every month? Do you want your business to gross an extra million or net an extra million? When? This month? This year? By next year's end? You have to choose or it becomes one of those "someday" goals (aka a "wish!) If, an amount feels way to out of reach, then make it smaller. If the amount you have chosen feels too small and you'll still be wishing you had more money, than make it bigger. Most importantly, whatever amount of money you are choosing to have, mean what you say. This is so simple, but this is where most people fall down and the rest their efforts don't yield successful results. And one more thing, it's nobody else's business what numbers you choose. Some people might judge your numbers as being too small or big based on their own life. As long as you feel solid about your choice and you're not wimping out on yourself, go with it!

4. How will you spend the money? Again, this is your money and you need to be emotionally connected to it. Where is it going to go? If you are going to pay debt off, make a plan for how you will do it and then decide where the money will go once the debt is paid off. Now you have the beginnings of a plan. That was easy, huh?! If you're going to save money, how much and to where? You may have to do a little thinking and research to complete this step. If you want to expand your business with some of this extra cash, it may take you some extra planning, but you will be very excited. This excitement will help move you toward success.

5. Now, clarify and write down how this is going to feel once accomplished. I know to some of you this step will sound like a waste of your time. Do not skip this step. You want to make this goal so real in your mind and heart that you run, not walk, to more wealth. This step is crucial in both strategy and the Law of Attraction.

6. Create exact actions and habits that you will implement starting today to support this goal of more wealth. You may only need to take a few actions. This is not rocket science. For some of you, it may simply be a matter of creating accountability. You already know what to do. For some of you, it may be about creating an entire new relationship with money. I know a few of you need to quit your job or get rid of or add new team members. Yes, you may dread a couple of things on your list, but will you be happy once you do it? If the answer is yes, keep it on your list. Break down big actions into small steps so they're digestible.

7. Inspired action. Many of you have heard this a million times but you're still not practicing it. Are you taking actions that feel good? Are they someone else's "should's" or are they truly something you have chosen to do. Your intuition is talking to you. Are you listening?

8. Bring in the big guns. Who is going to support you? Are you committed enough to see this goal through? Will you trust that you will succeed even when you don't think there are any signs of improvement over a long period of time? Who is going to assist you in a way that truly works for you? Consistency is key. If you really want to have more cash in your bank account and wallet, then print this out and follow the steps in the next 24 hours. This entire process may take as little as an hour or two. Steven Callahan was lost at sea in a small raft for seventy-six days. His boat had sunk west of the Canary Islands. He was able to write his book, Adrift, only because he was committed to getting back home. It wasn't a matter of "if" he got home, he always thought about what he was going to do "when" he got home. Every action he took to keep himself alive was inspired from the passion he felt about getting home. He always found a way to eat, drink and keep his body working from his belief that he could survive at sea alone. And that he did! How passionate are you about being wealthy? Get yourself into the same frame of mind as Steven. It's not a matter of "if" you will be more prosperous, but "when." I vote on choosing it for yourself now.
