If everyone getting started in this industry would reach out and become mentored by a Coach,  they’d most certainly cut the learning curve quite significantly. One Coach and Mentor that I definitely maintain in high regard, is this 24 Year old Genius “Kid” Jonathan Budd.

In this video, he just so eloquently and clearly demonstrates how one can diffuse emotions and remove them from your business. I have personally Struggled MOST with what he is talking about in this video. Removing emotion from your business is CRUCIAL to moving forward and attracting incredible people into your business.

When we “CLING” To emotions, they basically stop us in our tracks and literally weigh us down. There is a time and place for emotions, and if you can FREE yourself from them in business, you will see more progress, and ultimate Success.

This is why Personal Development is Absolutely ESSENTIAL to Network Marketers.

I have literally CHOKED my progress at times, from getting emotionally involved with situations and people in business.

BIG NO NO.

Keep in Mind, your EMOTIONS are NOT YOU.  Your Emotions are produced by Thoughts, which are also NOT YOU. Think of Emotions as Passing Clouds, one minute they are here, one minute the are gone. But what happens to most of us is that we hang on to the Emotion, we CLING… instead of just letting it go, like a cloud just moves beyond your realm of vision. And then we ACT on Emotion rather than Level Headedness.

So Let’s Re-Cap what Jonathan States in the Video:

When you feel an Emotion Creeping up on you Ask Yourself These questions:

1. Identify the Emotion – What is the Emotion? Anger? Fear? Jealousy?

2. Do I want it, is it Serving me? Of Course not, I feel Awful or spiteful (All Bad feelings)

3. Can I let it Go? (Absolutely YES, let it Go like a Passing Cloud…)

4. If so, When? (RIGHT NOW, Take a deep Breath… poof, let it go…)

The “EGO” Wants to Cling..
It wants to be “Right”

Well there is a wise saying that states, would you rather be Right? or Rich?

My Friends, this is a SUPER Powerful lesson, and, my Coach, Jonathan has such a powerful way to explain it.

One More Recommendation:

As I had struggled with this Very Issue, I went STRAIGHT To work on Myself, and Highly Recommend the following book to help you Recognize exactly what Emotions are, and quite literally, how to TRANSFORM the way you think about things in as much time as it takes to read the book, which is about 2 days, if you stick with it.

It’s Called The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer.

Have you seen this commercial up on Youtube Yet?

It’s got absolutely NOTHING To Do With Chocolate…

It’s About 2 Kids sitting waiting for their Photo Shoot to Start, but, when the photographer is distracted and the brother switches Freestyle’s 1989 track Don’t Stop the Rock, the siblings begin to let their eyebrows start to dance in sync with the music before the girl finishes the by squeaking a balloon.

Now here is where you SERIOUSLY Need to pay Attention:

According to the AD AGENCY that created the  £3.7 million (British Pound) Commercial for the Cadbury Chocolate Giant,

“…, we asked the agency, Fallon, to create another ad that would make people smile and feel good, as if they were opening a chocolate bar and taking that first bite.”

Notice the Commercial DOES NOT Sell Chocoloate Directly to the Viewer…

The Commercial Sells The “GOOD VIBES” The Feeling one would have after Purchasing Cadbury Chocolate. This takes us back to an old addage that says, “When people are buying drills, they are actually looking to make a hole”…

In otherwords, what is the RESULT people are looking for?

And how can you tweek your marketing so that your potential BUYER has a certain Feeling attached to your product?

Also think about this: The MIND and the psychology behind marketing is extremely profound and totally GENIUS in this commercial.

What is going to happen the next time you hear that Catchy little Old Freestyle Tune?

What may you do the next time you go to a party, and see a balloon?

Or even go to a scheduled Family Portrait ?

If you either, hummed to the tune, or played with the balloon, or giggled at the portrait studio, then CADBURY has definitely done it’s job!

Why?

Because all these elements of the commercial have made a lasting impression in your MIND, by giving you a Feeling that you now associate with the Cadbury Chocolate Commercial.

Case in Point: All I have to do is just play a snippet of the song, and my OWN KIDS will make a MAD DASH to my office because they KNOW that I’m playing the commercial on my Computer.

They Associate the Music to the Commercial.

Just as WE associate eating chocolate with Fun and Goodtimes – Make Sense?

By the way, the “Cadbury Eyebrow Kids” Commercial went VIRAL to over 4 Million Views, with Celebrities like KANYE West Posting it to his Blog and Shows and other random people making SPOOFS of this commercial and uploading them to Youtube.

It’s become so incredibly INFECTIOUS that Cadbury has also partnered with mobile operator Orange (also a Fallon client) to give away the commercial’s soundtrack as a mobile ringtone. This was downloaded 125,000 times in the first 11 days.

As a Marketer, MLM or Otherwise, when you can succeed in making your Audience FEEL a connection to YOU… You are one step closer to becoming an Attractive MAGNET that people will be naturally drawn to, and will happily call you with credit card in hand.

This commercial had NOTHING, Absolutely NOTHING to do with chocoloate.

Really THINK About that for a minute.

It had everything to do with making the VIEWER FEEL a certain way.

Making them Smile, Giggle and associate eating Chocolate to those feelings.

Got it?

You have just gotten a glimpse of what ATTRACTION Marketing is About.

Have you Visited my Personal Development Blog yet? Find Tools, Mp3’s and Articles that will help you literally TRANSFORM your thought process in order TRANSFORM your Business ==>> http://www.loawealth.com

Unless you have been living under a rock, you’ve most certainly have heard about http://www.twitter.com

As a matter of fact, there’s a good chance, that’s exactly how you ended up on my Blog. For all intents and purposes, that’s proof that using Twitter, to develop relationships for marketing and business purposes, absolutely works.

For a little 140 Character Microblogging platform, Twitter sure packs a punch. I mean, there are atleast 50+ tools that I know of that were created to enhance your Twitter Experience, making this particular Social Media Platform one of the Hottest Trend in 2009.

Branching into Mainstream, meaning, it’s even getting mentioned on TV, Twitter is THE place for Small Business Owners, Network Marketers and MLMers to engage with a multitude of folks who share common interests.

Ahhh, but there’s always a better way to do anything in life, and if you have caught the “Twitter Bug” like me, you’re probably looking for a way to streamline, enhance, and get the MOST of your Twitter Marketing Efforts.

So I kept seeing people on my Twitter Stream (Twitter Stream refers to the conversation going on by the people you are following) posting from a place called “Tweetdeck”.  But of course, sometimes, my unwillingess to change, made me disregard even looking into it.

But then another, and another and yet another person was using it and I thought, I definitely have to look into this thing, to see what the Fuss is all about…. and I’m so glad I did.

As you can see by the picture above, opening up the All Friends  @replies and the DM (Direct Message) is just one of the functions that Tweetdeck streamlines. (PS, as you will also note in my Pic Don’t use DM to SPAM!

Tweetdeck, is an Adobe Air Platform, which in it’s simple yet sophisticated format, gives you more power to streamline the way you use Twitter. 

Watch the video below to see exactly what I mean:

You Can Download Tweetdeck here at: http://www.tweetdeck.com/beta/

It is currently in public Beta, and aims to evolve the existing functionality of Twitter by taking an abundance of information, ie, twitter feeds, and breaking them down into more manageable bite sized pieces.

Both MAC and Window Users can download directly from the site:

Linux users, you can download it right here:

Download TweetDeck beta for Linux (manual installation)

TweetDeck requires the Adobe Air 1.5 runtime be installed first.
Then download the TweetDeck AIR file

I also suggest you keep it running in the background and turn off your speakers. You can easily get distracted by the “Submarine” Sounds from the Friend Activity Notifier which will “Blooop, bloooop” everytime someone posts a tweet. If you have a lot of friends, that could and WILL get annoying, and even worse, distracting.

And Finally, here are a few other Twitter Enhancing sites you can use to further Optimize your Twitter Experience, by building a “Relevant” Following of people you have similar interests with.

http://www.twellow.com  – This is like the Yellow Pages for Twitter. Find any user in your Niche right here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://tr.im – Snip and TRACK your URLs at Tr.im . As a Marketer, you need to analyze where your traffic is coming from. When you post a link on twitter, this is a great way to see how many people actually clicked on your link.  Very Useful Site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

http://www.twittersheep Use this Site to gauge your following. After entering your Twitter ID, Twittersheep will produce a tag cloud from the “Bios” of your Twitter Flock. This is a useful tool to see if your followers and your Content, is relevant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Technology like Twitter and the platforms that support it like Tweetdeck not only have revolutionized the way that people connect and develop relationships online, but it sure makes it alot more fun!

Like everyone else (and there mother), I got the invitation
to RT the Viral Twitter Tool, called Tweeter Getter, that sends you to a page to RT the following message:

“ @Garymccaffrey has a crazy idea, 19,530 new twitter followers in 30 days? Check it out..”
Then it requires you to proceed to enter your Twitter Username and your Twitter Password (that was actually
the first RED Flag for me, but onward with the story)

Then there are a list of 5 people that you will automatically follow and then they “return the favor”
by following you too.

(sounds like, I’ll show you mine, if you show me yours…)

 

 

When I first clicked on the link, I intuitively PASSED on partaking of this “MASS COLLECTION of FOLLOWERS”.

After all, who doesn’t want a “Rock star” Presense on Twitter, in only 30 days?

But Curiousity got the best of me, and I went through with the sign-up, “just to see what would happen”.
ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR INTUITION

The voices in your head will usually give you stupid advice and will turn on you in a nano-second.
My intuition told me, why on earth would you want all these people who could give a crap about you
following you?

I’d much prefer a “BRITNEY” Following of Loyal followers who will love you through thick, thin, and bad hair days…rather than a bunch of people who followed me, just so they could “get MORE people”.

It truly defeats the purpose of Social media, which, to me, is about building relationships with people
who are genuinely interested in you, and you are interested in them, and you share value amongst each other.

Think of Twitter like one big party.

The Best parties I’ve been to are the ones that I had with family and friends - people who actually give a crap
about well, partying with me.

Tweeter Getter kinda reminds me of that episode of Hanna Montana, where Miley Cyrus and her brother forget their Dad’s Birthday, and then bring the Gardener, and the Plumber the day after to celebrate.

They didn’t care, the dad didn’t care…

What was the point?

Tweet Getter in my humble opinion, taints the meaning of what social media is about.

You skip the whole, lets get to know each other part, and just follow, cuz, well, cuz everyone else is doing it.

And I’m the type of girl that likes to march to the beat of her own drum.

I hate following the crowd! ( I should have known better!)

OBSERVING DEMI MOOORE

I really began to look at the REAL Influential people on Twitter, people who had a Ton of Organic Followers (meaning, people who had a GENUINE interest in who they were following) 

Take  Demi-Moore for example.

Every last person who is following her is either a hard core FAN or family and friend.

She shares personal photos of her and Ashton, sharing pics of their trips across the globe, it’s absolutely charming.

You can bet that Demi is not going to follow back a bunch of Marketers who want her to sign
up for their Biz-opp.

Quite Frankly, her Twitter Stream was so “intimate” that I almost felt I was intruding because, even though I like Demi Moore, I don’t like her enough to “follow” her.

Part of the Fun of Twitter is the Conversation, the interaction, I love @ ing with people I have stuff in common with, it’s just so much darn Fun…

But @ing with the drop shipper in China, just woudn’t make sense for what I do..ya know?

WHAT WOULD PERRY BELCHER DO?

And then after I really started to analyze the most followed people on twitter, like @garyvee, @perrybelcher  

@ mike_dillard  @alejandroreyes, @leolaporte  

I decided to even DELETE my entire Tweetlater Account.

Tweetlater is that oh so convenient, instant DM and Follower tool that allows you to Schedule your Tweets, or instant Private Message people as soon as they begin to follow you, which seems like a terrific idea except for the fact that it can come off as real ingenuine.

(Note to self: The next time one of these viral tools come out, think to yourself – WWPBD? (What would Perry Belcher Do?)

I mean, think about it, seriously, anyone who really gives a damn about their online reputation, before one of these new shiny tools surfaces think to yourself, would Mike Dillard, Perry Belcher, Frank Kern or any of those influential marketers use  a tool like Tweet Getter?

(I rest my case.)

Some of you may be reading this and Gasping, but you know what, a wise personal stylist on a Fashion makeover show I wathced once said,

“You can’t control what people think of you, but you CAN Control how you are presented” and
I don’t want to be perceived as a “spammer”, and sorry guys, but Tweet Getter, in my opinion, crosses that line.

I think that the instant tools, however convenient they can be, lack the essence of what social media marketing
is about, and it’s about being GENUINE and AUTHENTIC, and it’s about Building Relationships.

My decision to Delete my Tweetlater account once and for all ignited in my mind, after I had made
a connection with someone I regard extremely highly on twitter.

He’s was a well known MTV VJ back in the 80’s and is  Currently the Co-CEO of http://www.Mevio.com and the Godfather of Podcasting (the Podfather) Adam Curry.

He has a show I listen to faithfullly called “No Agenda” which you can check out here: http://noagenda.mevio.com

I began following Adam a couple of months ago when I heard he was on Twitter.

He’s got over 8,000 followers and was only following a couple hundred, but after a few cool @ interactions
with him (super Smart and Fun Guy) He began Following me, Super Cool.

When I went to look at my Private Welcome DM’s I realized that my CANNED Tweetlater Message was sent
to him, and I was flushed with embarrassment that a Canned, superficial, meaningless message to go
visit my BLOG was sent to him. YUCK!

It was at that moment I realized, that if I wasn’t going to look at each and every follower, and
DM them Personally, then I was totally missing the point of social media, which is QUALITY over Quantity.

So, although I do see alot of these tools as “convenient” and many of them are very Useful, if they
don’t maintain the integrity of who I am at a core level, then I won’t use them.

It’s more important to develop quality relationships with people who want to hear your message.

Not doing this would be the equivalent of the Pope following Jenna Jameson, or Mother Teresa following Howard Stern.

It just wouldn’t happen, and much less, make sense.

From here on out, I’ve privately and personally DM’d  every single follower manually, who I have a genuine interest in, and ignite a long lasting meaningful relationship.

The response is so much more meaninfgul becasue, lest we forget, that on the other side of that TWEET or DM is a “REAL PERSON” and if you can manage to bring back the “human touch” to marketing, you will have fans for life and THAT my friends, is more important than having a bunch of followers.

After all, that’s how it Works in the “Real World!”

Starting an Internet marketing business is probably the best way of growing a residual income and at the same time achieving financial freedom.

It really sounds easy and fun, yet there are several things that will cross your mind—things that will probably stop you in starting your own Internet marketing business.

Time and financial resources.

You need to accept the fact that in order to make money, you must have sufficient time allotment and financial resources. It is not advisable to start your online business if you feel that you do not have that financial capability of sustaining your own business in the long run.

Getting large web traffic to your online business site is your main priority in starting your Internet marketing business. You will be able to achieve it through advertising your site.

However, when you find out that the cost is not within your reach, there is a slim chance that you will achieve success in getting traffic and converting them into long-term clients. Keep in mind that without a strong clientele base, it will mark the end of your Internet marketing career.

Is there any other way to escape expensive online business advertising?

Keep in mind that the word “free” still exists.

In other words, there are still low-cost alternatives and even free methods of advertising your Internet marketing business. You must be confident that such free or low-cost advertising alternatives will work, after all it is still a type of promotion that will help you get the targeted traffic that you need for your site.

 It does not necessarily mean that free or inexpensive advertising will not work effectively whereas expensive advertising mediums will always work. Quite the contrary!

I have personally paid hundreds of dollars in Solo Ads and Pay Per click that did not work, yet doubled my income in 2008 from 2007 using Free Methods like Video and Social Networking.

 Confidence and a “clever thinking” on how you will be able to make it as effective as the expensive advertisement packages on the Internet will be your key to making Free Strategies work for you.

As previously mentioned, there are many ways of advertising your online business without spending much of your fortune. The best idea that you must consider is writing original articles containing fresh and juicy information that will help your website visitors know about your business and the products and services that you are offering.

Write your own original articles and sign with free or low-cost article distribution services that will distribute your articles to publishers around the Internet. If you want a wider distribution of your articles for increased awareness, you may pay for a small fee.

Once your articles are distributed and published around the Internet with hyperlinks directing to your site, you will have your first set of new web visitors in no time. If you do not want to write the articles by yourself, you can hire different article writing services that will do the job in exchange of a small fee.

Article writing and distribution is one of the best means of Internet marketing promotion.

Just like article writing, you may also use weblogs or simply blogs for your Internet marketing business promotion. This is completely free of charge and an ideal way of getting quality content on your website as well as getting repeated visitors who are interested in reading what you want to say.

 You can write your views about your business or include some photographs of the products you are offering. Do not forget to include your site’s link on your blogs so that your readers can visit your site if they want more information about what you have written on your blogs.

Posting to online forums is another free yet effective way of getting your hyperlinks noticed by majority of Internet users. There are thousands of online discussion forums out there that offers subjects related to the nature of your online business.

You may also help other individuals by posting your comments or suggestions that you know with regards to a certain issue. The more assistance that you can offer, the more your name will stand out of the crowd as the authority on the subject, and the more likely forum readers will click on your website hyperlink to find out more about you and what you are into.

It is one of the best ways of making sales without even selling actual products or services.

Why spend a lot if there are free and low-cost advertising alternatives for your Internet marketing promotion? With some careful planning and little spending, you will be able to earn a lot from your online business.

If you are truly building on a budget, you’ll want to grab this course that will teach you the top Free Strategies and exactly how to implement them! –>> http://snipurl.com/br2jv

Your subconscious mind is like a computer in that it runs programs.

Right now, as you are reading this, you are running programs to control your breathing, your heartbeat and your thoughts. Your programs are neither good nor bad. Some of them benefit you while others limit you. Your programs control your life in the background.

You can think of programs like beliefs or mindsets.

Manifesting is difficult until you re-program your mind.

Why did I use the word re-program?

Well, you and I were programmed as we were growing up. We run wealth programs, health programs, sex programs, relationship programs and self image programs – just to name a few.

Our programs define how we think about the world and ultimately, how we experience life. The frightening thing is that a lot of your programs are complete nonsense.

For example, I used to run a program in my subconscious mind called “No pain, No gain.” Sound familiar?I learned this belief from my Dad, who worked hard and didn’t really love his work. Here’s what showed up later on in my life… If I was succeeding, there was always pain and struggle involved.

When I saw this, I invested sometime installing a new program – “Effortless Living.” Within months, my world was very, very different. Financial success began falling into my lap effortlessly.

‘No Pain, No Gain’ is an example of a nonsense program. It is not true that you have to work hard and suffer in order to succeed in life.

See, you might want to manifest wealth, but if your subconscious mind is programmed for ’scarcity’, you’ll NEVER be wealthy, or at least not for long.

Why are 50% of all lottery winners broke within 2 years?

In America today, 50% of all lottery winners lose their winnings are are back in debt within 2 years. Take a moment to let that statistic sink in. It’s incredible. The lottery winners were programmed to spend money, not to keep it, so their subconscious mind makes sure that they lose it!

Here’s a take away for you: If you want to create wealth and keep your wealth, you need to remove your limiting programs and install programs that are supportive of creating wealth.

One of the easiest and fastest ways to re-program your mind is through visualization. Make a daily practice of visualizing yourself living the life you want to lead and being a person with the mindsets you will need to have to create that life. Here are some tips to help you along…

Two tips to help re-program your mind.

Tip #1: Stop visualizing and begin experiencing.

If you want to re-program your subconscious mind, you need to be able to communicate effectively with it. Your subconscious mind speaks the language of the five senses, called VAKGO.

VAKGO is an acronym for Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, Gustatory and Olfactory. These are just fancy names for seeing, hearing, feeling (emotions and tactile feeling), tasting and smelling. As far as your subconscious mind is concerned, a REAL experience contains all of these five elements (VAKGO).

Here’s my point. If you are just visualizing (using the visual sense only), it’s unlikely that you will trick your subconscious mind into believing that your mental visualization is an actual experience because you have only given your subconscious mind one fifth of an experience i.e. sight.

So STOP visualizing and begin experiencing. The next time you relax and begin your mental practice of conscious creation, be sure to include all the FIVE senses in your imagination.

You see, the subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between a REAL experience. By imagining an experience using VAKGO, you are tricking the mind into believing that your IMAGINED experience is real. You make your mental experience real by including all the FIVE senses in your imagination.

Tip #2: Cycle VAKGO

During your creative visualization time, cycle the five senses round and round in your mind. Notice what you are seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling in your imagined experience. Then repeat that cycle over and over again throughout your visualization time.

This process of cycling VAKGO has the effect of branding your experience into your subconscious mind. You subconscious mind instantly communicates your intention to the Quantum Field (a physics term for the energy that hold the universe together) and your manifestation wheels are set in motion.

If you are not spending some time in your imagination every day, you are missing out and you’ll probably never re-program your mind for success.

I’ve spent 2 years creating a manifesting tool that will reprogram your mind for success  in just minutes a day. Its worked incredibly well for thousands of people and I’d like to invite you to go check it out so you can re-program your mind for success and make manifesting easy.

Yep, it’s True, Americans Keep Getting Dumber and Dumber each year. Sad yet true. We’ve become a nation of programmed bots who more often than not, do not have an original thought in our heads… and it’s affecting our IQ’s.

Why?

Watch Bruce Muzik’s Video Below as he explains why The American Population continues to get Dumber and Dumber, and what we can do about it.

I first discovered Bruce Muzik while taking courses at Success University and his Mind Mastery 101 Series really impressed me so much I went on to look at his other products.

Bruce is an Amazing Teacher and since I’ve implemented some of his Visualization strategies, I’ve become way more imaginative (in a good way) and more relaxed.

PS. I cut the Cable at my house. Drastic you may think, but now I have a ton of extra time to consciously create my own reality and engaging in reading more books and become an avid student of Personal Development.

I’ve also prohibited my children from watching cartoons anymore, as with one look at cartoons like the ones on Cartoon Network, you’ll quickly realize just why people are becoming so Dumb, because the TV programming starts from childhood.

You don’t have to be as drastic as I was, but carefully choose what you watch and realize that every image, every word that enters your head, gets soaked up into your subconscious mind as it is highly influenced by external stimulus.

If you take this one step further, and look at the MASS POPULATION, their perception of reality is based on the NEWS. Everyone makes decisions based on what happens in the news. Pretty Pathetic, I know, but it’s been that way since I can remember. I’d be willing to place a bet, that if the News reported that the economy was on an upswing and it was SAFE to spend again, things would be quite different.

But since we all know that is not going to happen, you have the power to choose, and create your own world, and starting with personal development and controlling your thoughts and imagination, is the best place to start!

Nicole Cooper is a Team Mate of Mine in my Primary company and we were having a discussion that led up to her pointing out that she had just written an article on the subject we were talking about. I thought it was so fanstastic, I asked if she would appear on my blog as a “Guest Poster” and she so kindly obliged. Here is her Article. Thanks Nicole!

Guest Post by Nicole Cooper

 

We can not turn on the t.v. today without hearing how bad things are. Job layoffs, foreclosures, suicides, Wall Street Bailouts…..The list goes on and on. If you weren’t grounded or rooted, one would think that the world has already come to an end and that we are in the “rapture”. Even those who once spoke positively and had a glimmer of hope left are not singing the songs of doom and gloom.

I have been “unemployed” since 2006 when I saw my booming Real Estate business decline and I went from making 6 figures to no figures in a matter of 6 months. I went through a bankruptcy, foreclosure, repossession all while being pregnant with my first child and no where to go. With good friends housing us for a few months, and my husband finally getting a job….We were forced to either fold or find a better way that offered a more secure future….That lead to my discovery of Network Marketing.

Network Marketing was a great lesson on why we must have a Plan B. Aside from the income opportunities, I found such great insight on running your own business and becoming a master at marketing on how to generate leads. But one additional thing that Network Marketing did for me was bring back my passion for reading and learning. There wasn’t one meeting that I attended where some reference was being made from a book or famous quote. Being the researcher that I am, I’d go to the library to get the book or look up the quote online to jot it down in my “mental quote rolodex”.

Ever since the continual plummet of our market, I’ve been reading tons of books by Napoleon Hill, John Maxwell, Frank Rambauskas and the list goes on and on. I’ve read on topics from business building, sales and marketing to pursuing your passion and doubling your income doing what you love. My point for sharing this is because this is what I’ve discovered (that may help all of us out)….

- Life happens in cycles, and in order for our economy to be renewed, change must occur. Otherwise, the seperation of class would continue to dominate causing the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer. This recession, although appearing as a sabatoge to “everyone”, is really an opportunity to level the playing field. Those that once enjoyed the “luxuries” of life, while looking down on the little people, are now being held accountable and regulated for their misguided attempts to rule the world.

Meanwhile, for those of us that were “everyday” people, we are given an opportunity to seperate our emotions from our rationale, and begin to act on the ideas and visions that we’ve had for so long, but ceased to pursue them due to our “obligations”.

- For many that have lost their jobs, I admit that it is extremely challenging to compromise your way of life and deal with the fear of not eating….but one thing that I learned in my experience of “losing it all” is that God will provide and allow you to eat and have shelter…even if it is in an uncomfortable setting.

- This recession has been a time to hit the “reset” button. There are things that we’ve known we should have been doing, but with our cushy situation, we ignored it, allowing ourselves to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, with our world being shook up, this gives our Spirit a chance to get our attention and speak to us, allowing us to rekindle the fire of passion and purpose within.

What goes down will come up, but my question is, where will you stand at the end of this recession? Right now, Millionaires are being made in their thoughts first, then their actions will lead to the frution and birthing of wealth in their lives.

For many years, we’ve heard the churches quote “God’s taking the wealth of the wicked and laying it up for the righteous”, but my question is, can you handle the process?

Now is the time where your vision shall come to life..

Now’s the time where you can start from scratch and pursue the things you’ve always desired to do, with no excuses in your path….

Now’s the time where your spiritual strength will reveal your character and sustain you to the point of peace in the midst of this storm….

Now’s the time where your life shall transition from what you always dreamed, to what you shall live…..IF AND ONLY IF YOU CAN HANDLE THE PROCESS….

Now is the time where Millionaires are being made. It is in the midst of darkness that your light shall be able to shine. Remember, the darkest hour is always right before the break of day…..

Will you make it???

To your success,

Nicole S. Cooper
