Second Thoughts

I had thought that I would drop all affiliate agreements except for programs that were over the top for me but, common sense struck back and that will not be the case. I will create an affiliate relationship with any program-good, bad or indifferent. The more income that this site makes, the greater I can invest in reviewing new programs and the greater amount I can give to charity. I will, however, only put up banner ads in the sidebars for what I call over-the-top programs. So if you see an ad in the sidebars, it is a program that I believed had a direct and profound effect upon my life.

It would have been foolish of me not to receive commissions from the many excellent programs that I have reviewed but I will only advertise the programs that are my personal favorites.

Revisiting the Power of Concentration

It seems that I was a little ahead of the curve on my post about the power of concentration. A number of the gurus have come out in the past couple of weeks telling us about how the power of concentration has been a major contributor to their success. From Stuart Litman, Dr Anthony and even Richard Branson have been stressing the importance of focus (concentration) as opposed to the multi-tasking that is so prevalent in corporate America.

Either way, I still have a free copy of the classic “The Power of Concentration” by Dumont available. Just right-click here to download it-no registration required. There may be newer books on improving your power of concentration but there are none better than this 100-year-old classic. Enjoy the read and put it into practice.  You will be absolutely shocked at how much you will accomplish.

Clear Your Limiting Beliefs – Easier Said Than Done

There is no question that the so-called “Secret”-”The Law of Attraction” is real and that it is one of the universal laws of the entire universe. It can be proven with Quantum Physics and more recently with String-Theory. It is real but some of the practitioners of the “Secret” are leading us down the garden path.

The gurus of the “Secret” don’t mean to mislead us. They are sincere in their beliefs but, in telling us that all that we have to do is visualize and we can eliminate our limiting beliefs is pure conjecture. In visualization, we attempt to use the conscious mind to visualize our perfect life but the conscious mind only comprises about 10 percent of our mind and the sub-conscious 90 percent of our mind will fight these conscious visualizations tooth and nail. As a result, the followers of the “Secret” soon become disheartened and come to believe that it is either worthless or worse yet, a sham just to take our money.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The “Secret” is real and if applied properly will lead to that life of abundance that we all seek. While simple visualization may work for advanced practitioners, it is virtually worthless for the newcomers.

The newcomers might be better of looking into hypnosis (which speaks directly to the sub-conscious) or perhaps Neuro-Linguistic programming. These are age-old methods of affecting our sub-conscious minds and releasing our limiting beliefs. In addition, there are some newer programs coming on the market that show extreme promise in overcoming our limiting beliefs. Once these techniques are successful, then one only needs to go back to simple visualization to be able to achieve the same results. The trick is in finding a method that works for you in the beginning and then and only then can we make “The Secret” work.

Visualization does have its place but only after you have overcome the sub-conscious minds natural resistance to change. It has taken a lifetime to build your sub-conscious ego and simple visualization is not going to be sufficient to overcome a lifetime of false beliefs. Look into the new alternatives and your life of abundance can be realized. As Bruce Lee said: “I think and I become.”

My sincere wishes for your achievement of the life of abundance.

I am Sick and Tired of This and I Won’t Take It Anymore.

I am Sick and Tired of This and I Won’t Take It Anymore. That is actually an affirmation that I use and to some people it sounds very negative but, it really is a very positive and necessary affirmation.

Because of something called a set-point, No matter what kind of diet you might try, you may get a short term change in weight but over the long run your body will return you to your natural set-point weight. The same thing happens when we attempt to increase our wealth, success and self-fulfillment.  We will typically on make some temporary gains and then our subconscious will bring us back to our old standards.

In dieting, it is called our set-point. In our quest for self-development, it is called our comfort-zone. Our subconscious is used to a certain standard of living and although we may make some temporary changes, our subconscious will always try to bring us back to our comfort zone.

That is why I use the above affirmation.  We must convince our subconscious that we will no longer settle for our comfort zone.  We must convince our subconscious that we have an intention for total self-fulfillment and then those changes will start to happen naturally.

By keeping us in our comfort zone, our subconscious is trying to keep us safe. The subconscious fears change and is only trying to protect us.  In order to make great changes in our life, we must reprogram the subconscious into an understanding that change does not threaten us.  It may take substantial work to reprogram our subconscious but once the subconscious understands that change is a good thing, then and only then will growth become automatic.

I have tested many programs and have yet to find a single program that will work for everyone.   There is no one size fits all.  The Law of Attraction, affirmations, self-hypnosis, NLP (Neurolinguistic programming), subliminal audios and many more all work but, only for a small portion of those on the quest for self-fulfillment. I wish that there was a single program that will work for everyone but since all of our minds have their own individual characteristics, what works for me may not be right for you.

I personally use several of these techniques and it is that combination that works for me.  It may be an arduous task but once you find the right program or combination of programs, you will easily reprogram your subconscious and wealth, success and self-fulfillment will become automatic. Personally, I use a combination of affirmations, self-hypnosis, NLP and meditation.  In combination, these techniques work for me.

Many people will blame their motivation, procrastination or any of a number of excuses for not being successful but, these are only symptoms of the problem. Change your mind and you change your reality.  One must reprogram their subconscious in order to effect any real change in their life.

If I ever find a single program that will work for everyone, I will be the first one to tell you.  In the meantime, study the different techniques and find what works for you. With the wealth of free information available on the internet, there is an answer out there for you. You absolutely deserve wealth, success and self-fulfillment and when you apply the techniques that are right for you, ultimate success will be yours.

You will likely read many sales letters from different self-help gurus claiming that they have the one and only secret.  They don’t necessarily mean to lie to you but, there is no one who holds the one and only true secret.  What they have found is the secret that works for them. It is your job to find the secret that works for you.

Part of my secret, is that I am grateful for everyday that I exist on this earthly plane and helping others gives me great joy.

Going Out on a Limb:The Power of Positive Habits

Just yesterday, I said that I would not become an affiliate of any programs that have not impacted me profoundly and here I am 24 hours later promoting and affiliate program for the Power of Positive Habits. I have ordered the program and will be doing a review but by the time I have completed the review, it is likely that the special introductory price will be gone and I don’t want you to lose out on this deal. Normally, $47 it is now only $24.50. Fortunately, it is a ClickBank product and you get a full 8 weeks to try out the program and if it does not live up to expectations, they have a simple and immediate refund process.  I have never been shy about asking for a refund and neither should you.  All it takes is a short one line email. If this program does not work for me, I will be first in line for a refund.

So, why without trying this program do I thing that you should invest in it.  First of all, we all know that wealth, success and self-fulfillment are simply nothing more than habits and using a process called “cognitive restructuring” this program will give you these positive habits. Literally, wealth, success and self-fulfillment will become automatic.

I have never gone overboard in recommending a product prior to testing it but at this price, it is almost a no-brainer (especially with the iron-clad refund policy).

So, why am I so impressed with this new Power of Positive Habits program? Believe it or not, it is the testimonials. You know that I normally disbelieve testimonials but, the testimonials that this program is receiving are from all of the top gurus in the self-development genre.

Dr. Robert Anthony:”Dan’s book is an absolute masterpiece,just read a couple pages every day, you will not recognize
yourself or your life in a VERY short time.”

Jack Canfield called it a “powerful program that can transform your life.”

Brian Tracy: “This program shows you how to develop the lifelong habits for
great success.”

Famed hypnotist Steve Jones: “let me tell you a little about this incredible program. (I have NEVER seen
anything like this before!)

With Gurus like those, putting their reputations on the line by recommending The Power of Positive Habits, it really does lead you to believe that this must be a powerful program.

The Power of Positive Habits consists of: an e-book,MP3 audiobook, integrated PC program andaudio MP3 files to create an audio CD) Plus amazing bonus products are listed on the web site, Bonuses include fantastic
e-books, e-courses, audio programs and more.

Don’t wait for my review and miss this special introductory price. You can get the program for less than $25 bucks and it it doesn’t meet your expectations, just use their simple refund process. Personally, I am excited to try this program out but, I don’t want you to miss the special price.

Just so you know, I make about $10 bucks if you buy the program. Obviously, it is not going to be a big money maker for me but the program really sounds like a win-win situation.

Click here to visit “The Power of Positive Habits.”

Finally, here is my personal promise to you. I will test this product and will give you a review within 6 weeks. If I find the program does not live up to my expectations, you will still have 2 weeks to get your refund.  I have a lot of hope for this program but if it sucks, I will recommend that you get a refund.

Thank You Dr. Anthony

I am going to be making some major changes to this blog within the next few days.  In his newsletter, this morning, Dr. Anthony  offered this advice: concentrate only on what is working for you and forget the rest. It sounds rather simplistic but I think that he just might be right.  As a result, I am going to drop almost all affiliate links that I have on this site and only actively promote the programs that have absolutely worked the best for me.  As it stands now, whenever I review a product, I create an affiliate link. I will be replacing almost all of those with direct non-affiliate links.  I really only want to promote the programs that have really worked exceptionally well for me.  For example, Silva Mind programs are excellent but they do not work well for me. The Silva direct link is: www.silvaultramindsystem.com So in the future I will give you a direct non-affiliate line to the Silva programs.  On the other hand, the work of Alan Tutt has worked wonders for me and I will continue my affiliate relationship. My affiliate link to Alan’s programs is: http://www.powerkeyspub.com/?r=1562

There are many excellent programs that I have reviewed which receive high ratings but, I will only promote programs that were over the top, the best for me. In addition to dropping affiliate programs, many of the banners in the sidebars of this blog will be gone. In fact, I have already deleted them.  Although many of them are excellent programs, I will only actively promote programs that worked exceptionally well for me. I will continue to evaluate self-development programs.

I always give a program a fair review but even programs that are receiving top ratings will only receive my affiliate link if that program worked as a personal best for me.

By the way, I want to thank Dr. Anthony for the advice but you will also notice that Dr. Anthony’s banner is gone.  It is an excellent program but not a personal favorite.

From the Mind of Alan Tutt

You already know how much respect I have for the work of Alan Tutt but, I did not realize that I had never told you about his Why Beliefs Matter Introductory Package.  It is both free and extremely powerful. Just click here to receive access to the Beliefs Introductory package. Even if you don’t do anything more than read and apply the content of this package, it could impact positively your life.

Book Review: Instant Wealth-Wake Up Rich

I just completed reading Christopher Howard’s Instant Wealth-Wake Up Rich. I have not checked the best sellers list but I am sure that it is on them.

The book is filled with sound methods and strategies to become wealthy.  I am not going to try to give a play by play description of this book but, I will tell you that you will get far better information out of this excellent work than the classic Think and Grow Rich.

Instant Wealth will find a permanent resting place on my bookshelf and I am sure over the years that I will re-read this book many times. I have already reread several chapters and found with each reading, I got even more information out of this new classic.

I highly suggest that you go down to your favorite bookstore and pick up a copy.

I have no financial interest in the sale of this book, I simply believe it to be one of the best books on growing your true wealth available today.

Here is one quote from the book that I found most profound: To increase your wealth keep asking:”How can I create more value for people?”

Chris goes on to say:”The instant you commit to a sharing intention, you embrace an even larger purpose than riches for yourself.  Your desire to give back energizes you to achieve much greater levels of wealth.  This makes your passion and purpose far more meaningful.  It clears the way  not just for prosperity, but for ultimate success.”

Christopher Howard is a lifestyle and wealth strategist who has helped hundreds of thousands of individuals and businesses achieve breakthrough results.

Get this book, it is really worth the read.

More Real Science Supporting the Law of Attraction

Ever since “Scientific American” came out with an article that questioned the validity of the Law of Attraction, I have been looking at substantial scientific research that supports the LOA. As you may remember, several weeks ago, I came across some advanced brain research that proves the existence of mirror neurons in the brain which directly mimic the brain patterns of other target individuals even without direct contact.  That alone provides us with a scientific basis for the Law of Attraction.

Just today, I came across the research of Dr. William Braud. He has 2 websites both dedicated to the entire area of research that supports the Law of Attraction.  One of Dr Braud’s papers provides substantial proof that human intention without direct contact can effect the outcome of a random-effects generator. This work proves without a doubt that human intention can have a direct physical effect upon what we would normally call external events.  That, of course, is the basis for the Law of Attraction. Dr. Braud does not speculate on Quantum Physics.  His work is based solely on solid scientific research.

If you ever wondered about the effectiveness of the Law of Attraction, I would suggest that you visit his websites for further proof.  His first website is: http://integral-inquiry.com/index.html and his new website is: http://inclusivepsychology.com What I found really interesting was his Cyberlibrary which contains a wealth of peer-reviewed scientific studies.

If you ever questioned the Law of Attraction, read Dr. Braud’s work and then start making the LOA work for you.
