Recently, I have been revisiting my study of the work of Dr. David Hawkins (Power vs. Force / Highest Levels of Enlightenment) and have come to some interesting conclusions based upon his work.
If you have not studied Dr. Hawkins work, and are interested in the science behind how the world around you affects you, you might consider reading his now-classic book, Power vs. Force. Dr. Hawkins did a 29-year study of Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing) made a number of profound discoveries.
First, nothing is neutral. Whatever you come into contact with — whether it be the food you eat, the people you meet or the environment in which you live and breathe — either strengthens you or it weakens you. Nothing is neutral.
Recently at the Harmonic Wealth Weekend I attended with James Ray (featured teacher from The Secret), he did a demonstration of applied kinesiology using various test objects and three test subjects from the audience. First, he did a blind test with each of the three subjects holding an envelope to their solar plexus. In each case, the muscle test (applied kinesiology) caused the subjects to immediately go weak. It turned out that inside the envelopes were packets of artificial sweeteners! So much for better living through chemistry!
Next he began testing music. As a musician and composer who creates music designed to raise vibrational frequency and enhance learning experience (MasterMind Enhancement Music), this really got my attention. Again, each of the subjects were given CDs (the music wasn’t actually played) to hold against the solar plexus. The first one caused the subjects to go weak…it was the Rolling Stones. A groan from the audience…and James said, “Yeah, I like the Stones too, but I don’t listen to them now because I know the music weakens me.” The next CD test produced a strengthening result and it turned out that CD was The Beatles.
I have been doing testing on lots of music, educational programs and other materials now in my own experiments. After the music was tested, I was very curious how my music and educational home study program fared in Dr. Hawkins world of The Enlightenment Scale. Near as we can tell, my Law of Attraction ACTION PACK program (which includes a custom music piece called Attraction) tested around 600 on the 0-1000 enlightenment scale. Anything above 200 is strengthening you and according to Dr. Hawkins, above 500 is in the pure love realm, 600 is approaching enlightenment and as you move toward 1000, you reach total energy/enlightenment/oneness. Very interesting stuff.
Nothing is neutral. Everything either strengthens or weakens you. Perhaps it’s time to pay closer attention to what we choose to allow into our systems, and even into our personal field. Remember that the music test didn’t require even playing the music and the artificial sweetener test didn’t even require using the sweetener, only coming into contact with it. Quite fascinating stuff.
Here’s a short video piece with Dr. Hawkins for you to enjoy.
I am pleased to say that my first official foray into the personal development world, at least on a conscious, chosen level, was when I read Napoleon Hill’s classic bible on success: Think and Grow Rich.
I have spent countless hours over the past three decades since then absorbing everything I can to expand my own horizons but rarely have encountered anything with the awesome raw power and message of success than Dr. Hill’s work.
Recently, I came across a video piece of Dr. Hill discussing his initial conversations with Andrew Carnegie, the insightful steel magnate (and the world’s first billionaire) who put the young Hill to task in studying the most successful men of the day and determine their common threads for creating that success. The resulting work changed the lives of millions of people around the world.
One of my favorite variations on Think and Grow Rich was the Nightingale Contant recordings called The Science of Personal Achievement. I was particularly moved by this because it includes so much of the original recordings done by Dr. Hill himself. This may not seem like much to us today but it is important to note that Hill first published Think and Grow Rich in 1937. The recordings from The Science of Personal Achievement were from old radio interviews, recordings made on 78 speed records and were really the first serious work in audio recordings. It was cutting-edge stuff at the time…the information still is and now, the piece is (finally) available on CD. I had two different cassette version of the piece; one for me and one that I always circulated through my network, and always passed along from one person to another with a letter telling the next one in line how the work had affected his or her life.
I tell this story today to share with you that some concepts are universal and remain true throughout the generations. Think and Grow Rich and it’s related material is just such a work. If you haven’t read it (or listened to it if that’s your preferred medium), I strongly encourage you to do so.
For now, have a quick taste of Dr. Hill himself laying the foundation for what is a very similar idea to what I now teach in my Law of Attraction programs.
Life is challenging enough without having to create and achieve your goals all on your own. The truth is that very few people, if any, can actually do that.
Throughout history, the most successful people of all time have surrounded themselves with teams of people who support their vision and mission.
What is your vision and mission? Are you clear? Are you focused? Are you on your way and doing great? Are you passionate about your life and what you’re doing with it?
Who is on your team? Are you a typical entrepreneur trying to juggle all the balls at once? Are you an entrepreneur who simply “owns” your job? Are you feeling like a hamster running on a wheel?
In order to create anything great and substantial, it is vital for us to create a team and most small business people find a lot of ways to stay “busy” all the time and try to do everything on our own.
A business and/or life coach can help you to bring clarity to your goals, then keep you on the path toward reaching them. Everyone needs a great coach to keep them on track! I’m a coach and I use coaches and mentors to assist me all the time. Why? Because I KNOW that I can’t do it all on my own. I know where my skills are effective and where they are lacking. I know that I can’t create my big dream without a team.
Some of the greatest business minds of all time have chimed in on the subject of coaching. The media is talking about coaching. The concept isn’t going away.
Here are a few quotes that I’ve gathered up for you on the subject of coaching.
“Coaching can certainly help you strengthen your sense of self-worth, focus on your goals — and get there, fast.” – The London Daily Telegraph
“I absolutely believe that people, unless coached, never reach their maximum potential.” – Bob Nardelli CEO, Home Depot
“…a personal coach is better than a best friend.” – Sausalito.net
“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.” – Timothy Gallwey
“People who are coaches will be the norm. Other people won’t get promoted.” – Jack Welch, CEO, General Electric
“A coach maybe the guardian angel you need to rev up your career.” – Money
“Part therapist, part consultant, part motivational expert, part professional organizer, part friend, part nag — the personal coach seeks to do for your life what a personal trainer does for your body.” – Kim Palmer, Minneapolis-St. Paul Star-Tribune
“Coaching simply speeds up a process of change that would most likely occur anyway if an individual had enough time. Without a coaching program that forces a client to focus and make time, people sometimes miss the real issues they need to focus on.” – The Ivy Business Journal, September-October 2000
“No matter how strong a person mentally is, without proper mental nourishment he or she will crumble. Personal coaching is one of the best ways to help you get that nourishment and to keep you stay focused.” – BeingLive.com
“If you want to build your business and at the same time have a rewarding personal life, you call a coach.” – Robert Schwab, ‘Businesses Hire Coaches to Build Winning Teams,’ Denver Post
“When all is said and done, teaching is what I try to do for a living.” – Jack Welch, CEO, General Electric from ‘Jack: Straight from the Gut’
“The hottest thing in management is the executive coach…Coaches are everywhere these days…Corporate coaches are in such demand that they can charge from $600 to $2,000 a month for three or four 30- to 60-minute phone conversations.” — Fortune
“Our chief want in life is someone who will make us do what we can.” – Emerson
“To get the most out of yourself you need to tune yourself regularly, just like a musical instrument needs regular tuning. Personal coaching is one of the best ways to help you improve yourself and stay focused.” – BeingLive.com
“A coach can play any number of roles –mentor, consultant, motivator, but one thing she [or he] is not is a therapist. Coaching deals with the “how”: how you can move on from where you are and make change. It’s action-oriented, and concerned with the present and future, not the past.” – Shape Magazine
To schedule your complimentary Discovery Coaching Session, visit our web site:
Someone contacted me the other day about the free coaching sessions that I offer and responded in a really “interesting” way. I don’t often get these kinds of responses anymore because of how I work with the Law of Attraction but every now and again I get a mild “heckler.” So, the guy writes to me: “You know the only reason you do these free sessions is to get people to buy your coaching!” Maybe he was having a bad day but…
Wow! I had to stop and think long and hard about that one. Why would someone approach me like that? I’m looking at this as a gift that I give to people and he’s challenging my integrity. And course, there was a part of me wanting to say: “Uh, duh! (I mean, of course, there is a marketing strategy involved…)” but that really doesn’t begin to tell the reason why I REALLY do free coaching sessions.
Money is just an exchange of value and energy and I have yet to work with a client who didn’t tell me that I brought WAY more value to them than the money they were paying for my services. So, I decided to really put some thought into how to respond to this gentleman.
Think about this for a minute. When someone offers you a free trial, what is the purpose? It is to prove to you that what you are trying is worth buying in the first place, right?
This happens every day in the marketing world and no one thinks twice about it. You see it in the grocery store when someone offers you a taste of a new food product. If you like it, you buy it. You see it in internet marketing a lot these days with $1 trials and free this and that to lead you to EXPERIENCE what is being offered, thereby being able to make a better buying decision. It helps you to get to know the product, or the service, or in my case, the PERSON. Let’s be realistic, you’re not going to sign up to pay for for coaching services without even knowing the slightest bit about me or just from reading my web page, are you?
So, let’s break this down a bit:
Of course, I don’t provide my coaching services just for the money. There is a lot easier work you can do if you’re just about money. I do coaching and mentoring, first and foremost, because I love it. One of my favorite experiences is that of seeing one of my clients rise to a new level in his or her life, or discover a greatness that they didn’t previously acknowledge, or helping someone make more money and see their lives changes as a result.
Everyone has at least one unique skill set. One of the highest and best uses of my unique skill set in the world is to help people break through barriers, structure their business to bring them freedom, get clear on how to move forward, solve challenges and provide a plethora of different ways someone can create more time, money and personal freedom in the process…just to name a few things that I do in life and business coaching. Virtually everyone I work with believes that brings great value to their lives, whether or not they end up paying for my services in the long run.
For example, check out what one of my clients (an actress) had to say recently:
There are more examples like this on my coaching page, if you want to take a look.
Rarely do I work with a client that hasn’t created a new way to pay for my services and much, much more in the first 90 days. As a business coach, if I don’t bring actual bottom line monetary, dollars and cents (and sense) value to your life, what’s the point of paying me, right?
Going back to how this all lays out from the “you’re only doing this to get people to pay you!” comment made by our skeptical friend earlier in this story…let’s take a look at how “free” looks from my perspective…
In my Platinum Coaching and Mentoring Program, people pay $777 per month, although most people just go ahead and pay $1497 for three months of coaching because it’s like getting a whole month for FREE. That’s about three hours a month, plus a bunch of other perks including recording every single session and maintaining a web page for each of my clients so they can have those recordings and other bonuses available 24/7. Again, it’s all about bringing great service and value. So that basically comes down to my hourly rate falls in the $175-250 range.
So, addressing our skeptical friend’s concerns, these complimentary sessions, that I call Discovery Sessions, are not some scaled-down version of a coaching session where I’m holding back the “good stuff” and offer no real value. It’s the real deal.
Just like any other session, we spend time examining your life and situation, your business, your strategies and where you might make things more effective. We usually spend 45-60 minutes on these calls. That breaks down to about $250 of my time…that I give you, as a gift for FREE.
The design is to determine whether I can provide a greater value to you, to see if we are a good fit in working together for some period of time after the initial session. My intention is to put you in a position that you have powerful new ideas and tools to work with from DAY ONE (Day One – The Free Discovery Session).
I don’t work with everyone, not even with everyone that wants to pay. I believe we have to both be clear that our working together is a good fit. Our personalities need to connect, and my skills and your project, or your business, or yours goals in life, have to be a good match.
So, I can’t work with everyone…there aren’t enough hours in the day. However, while I’m still in a position to be able to do it, I will gladly provide anyone with a true desire to improve their current situation with complimentary coaching session.
So, like the man who wrote me the email and was skeptical about my intentions, are you willing to walk away from a $250 gift? It is just that: a gift to you, with no strings attached and no pressure.
If you do find that this interesting and intriguing, what have you got to lose? Really, what’s the worst-case scenario? Less than an hour of your time and at the end, perhaps we don’t mesh? Hardly a risk, don’t you agree?
The bottom line for me is that my greatest passion is to help people find the best parts of themselves and bring that out into the world. I love helping people discover new business ideas and potential income streams. I love finding new ways to MasterMind with people to overcome challenges and have more time, money and freedom in their lives. That’s my passion!
By the way, the skeptical man I referred to earlier has now come back to me with an interest in pursuing a session. Isn’t that interesting? Sometimes it’s all about someone’s slightly skewed perception. All it took was just sharing my true motivation.
I’m very excited to report that I had an uneventful trip driving down from the Bay Area to LA where I will be presenting, for the first time EVER, my new Attraction Marketing system this Sunday at the Speak Your Way To Wealth conference. If you happen to be in the LA area or close enough to drive, there’s still time to get on board and join us this weekend.
Speak Your Way to Wealth is one of the top events for speakers to hone their craft and learn from some of the best of the best…I’m humbled to have been asked to be a part of it.
I just wanted to check in and let you know that I haven’t disappeared (again…sheesh, I feel like I’m making excuses lately), just preparing for a massive explosion…I promise I’ll be back next week with lots of great new content, new videos and the introduction to the two new products…including very special arrangements I’ve made for my subscribers and followers to access Attraction Marketing and Attraction Mastery.
There is a direct correlation between the Law of Attraction and creating a MasterMind alliance or MasterMind group. In fact, I think Napoleon Hill was really onto the concept of attraction in his classic book on success, Think and Grow Rich.
Hill discusses the MasterMind alliance in great detail and in fact was the first to actually coin the term. He describes the MasterMind concept as follows:
“No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
Consider that quote for just a moment:
“…an invisible, tangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
It’s a powerful idea to be sure. I have always felt that the Law of Attraction was directly connected to that third mind to which Dr. Hill directs us. In fact, the Law of Attraction, that powerful universal force that magnetizes all things of similar vibration to each other really stems from that third mind, or the God mind. All things creative stem from this same force.
I would invite you to experiment with the MasterMind concept. In your current circle of influence, with whom could you partner to create a common and mutually beneficial outcome? A friend, a family member, a business associate? Who do you feel could support you in creating your dream and who can also be trusted with that dream?
Start getting together by phone or in person, even if just for 15 minutes a week to discuss the your mutual goals and how you might achieve them. As you stay open to the MasterMind/Attraction process, watch closely and "follow the trail" of what comes up around your intentions. When two or more are gathered, magic begins to happen.
And consider this: if two people create the power of a third mind, what happens when you add more? It has been put forward in the concepts of quantum mechanics and zero point energy field theory that as you continue to bring more and more people together, focused on the same outcome, the energy increases, but not in a linear way, as in 1 plus 1 plus 1, etc., but in an exponential way. So if you have 3 people involved, it becomes the energy of 3 x 3, four becomes 4 x 4, ten becomes 10 x 10, and so on. Imagine then, what would happen when we are able to create a focused, conscious group of people all lasered in on the same outcome.
We’ve seen the results of such experiments already, reducing violence in Washington, DC, creating a peace treaty in Bosnia/Herzogovna over a decade ago, and there are more examples.
We can and do make a difference. Keep in mind also that the scales can tip either direction. Last week, I posted an article discussing our participation in "attracting" the current economic conditions in America. It is important to monitor your thoughts, feelings and actions as you become more conscious of this process.
Know and trust that the process is working. Step up and reach out to others. Your participation DOES make a difference. And we need you to facilitate the great positives changes required on our little blue planet.
What do you think? I look forward to hearing from you on this. Be inspired…is your time!
In my coaching practice, I often work with people who are overcoming blocks to their own success. Time and time again, we overcome obstacles based entirely in the mind and emotions. I have no doubt that virtually everything impeding our progress and success is self-created or installed beliefs from events that have taken place in our lives.
The power of the mind is amazing. Our ability to overcome challengs is unlimited. The human brain is a super-computer that has virtually infinite capacity.
The next time you start believing that you are limited by your circumstances, your current conditions or even your thoughts, I would invite you to witness Stephen Wiltshire, an amazingly beautiful mind, who is also an autistic savant. Witness a miracle of the human mind.
Throughout our entire lives, we have been accumulating information and experiences.From the moment we saw the first light of day, and perhaps even before, messages and programming have been installed into our conscious and subconscious minds.
Some of this programming serves us well.For example, we learned not to touch the stove, sometimes by trying it first and burning our hands.Most of us learn those types of lessons quickly and easily and those experiences stay with us and protect us from harm.
Other deep messages, past experiences and internal programming create stumbling blocks and obstacles that don’t allow us to move forward in our lives, or at least not as quickly as we would like.We repeat old patterns and continue to have the same experiences over and over, even when we don’t enjoy the experience; even when it causes us pain.
In deeply examining the elements that keep people from attracting what they really want into their lives, whether that is prosperity, the perfect romantic relationship, or some other experience, I have found two things to be primary root causes.
The first is the inability to be clear about what we really want. Getting clear and vividly detailed about what you intend to attract is a primary element to success with the Law of Attraction.
The second key area that seems to be lacking in most people is defining and releasing internal blocks and programs that keep us from attracting what we truly want.Running old patterns and doing things in the same old way is a formula for getting the same old thing.
As Albert Einstein so cleverly shared with us:
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
Unfortunately, it’s not always as clear and simple as just consciously stopping this wheel of insanity.Many of these “same things” that we do over and over again are Pavlovian patterns that we just perform like trained circus animals without even being conscious or aware of them.
We easily can begin developing our awareness processes and learn some powerful tools to quickly release any blocks that we may be carrying that keep us from successfully attracting our desires.
To help you get clear about what your blocks to success may be, try the following simple exercise.
1.Make a list of positive statements about things you really want to have in your life and put that list in the form of an “I AM” statement as if it were already true.For example, if you want to have a great romantic relationship, write something like:
“I am in the perfect relationship for me.”If you desire more money in your life, write down a statement such as:“I am wealthy and my life is abundant.”
2.Now read each statement out loud.
3.After each statement, pay close attention to what “comes up” for you.Be aware of that inner voice you hear or any feelings that come up around your statements, especially the little “devil-on-your-shoulder” voice telling you that “you can’t” or “you shouldn’t” or “you aren’t good enough.”These are you best clues for what may be blocking you.
4.Jot down on a piece of paper anything that comes to your awareness after reciting each “I AM” statement.
This awareness will allow you to begin to pinpoint the challenges that may be keeping you from what you want to attract into your life.The next step is to practice a release technique to get rid of all that junk that’s blocking your path.
There are several methods that I recommend, but I have had some huge breakthroughs lately, both personally and with my coaching clients using the Emotional Freedom Technique, widely known as “EFT.”EFT is a method of tapping on certain acupuncture points while stating phrases about your blocks.
In this short article, I can’t go into detail about how to do that, but there are numerous places you can find valuable information and instruction about how to use EFT.Try doing a search on YouTube for EFT (or EFT and whatever block you’re trying to release) and I guarantee you will find a wealth of video demonstrations that will help you.
Also, Nick Ortner and his team have recently released an excellent documentary/instructional film on DVD about this powerful tool that is changing so many lives worldwide.You can learn more about this very well-done film at:
There are other great releasing techniques that are fast and simple as well.As you may know from reading this newsletter:
WE LIKE FAST!Fast is good…at least when it comes to getting rid of your old internal junk.
You can try The Sedona Method for a simple and fast releasing technique too.Hale Dwoskin, the co-founder of Sedona Training Institute, was featured in the movie, The Secret and teaches this amazing program.Learn more about it at:
I’ll be talking more about releasing techniques in my upcoming book, Seven Days to Success:Mastering the Magic in the Law of Attraction, and I have some great tools in my LOA Action Pack home study program.Whatever method you choose, find something that you like and work through your process of releasing those pesky internal blocks.You will watch the floodgates of your life open up and begin attracting the life you truly desire and deserve when you get out of your own way and break through your barriers.
A friend said something to me the other day that really amused me.“Oh, that Law of Attraction stuff…it’s just a bunch of new age mumbo jumbo.”I actually had stopped attracting this debate for quite awhile, so I really paid attention when this subject came up again in my world.So I decided, sure, what the heck, I’ll engage him on this subject and see where it goes.
Even after proceeding to share with him several stories about the wonderful and fun things I’ve attracted into my life — and the amazing ways that some of them showed up — he still wasn’t convinced, or even mildly moved from his original position.Just in the past year alone, the stories are so numerous and so “strangely coincidental” that even the staunchest skeptics have scratched their heads wondering whether maybe there really is something to this “Law of Attraction stuff.”
Stories like the cool new car (attracted as a result of a non-injury auto accident), the financial gains (from seemingly out of nowhere), the perfect relationship (with someone that in theory I should never have had the opportunity to meet), the shifts in my relationships with my boys (simply by intending something different) left him unimpressed.The stories about how the numbers of other people who had been creating their own amazing results:houses, greater financial gains, career shifts, travel and vacations, relationships, and more using the systemized approach I have created with the Seven Days to Success program were still met with rolling eyeballs and doubt.
Then came the moment of truth.My friend said:“It’s not like you have some magic formula.Stuff like this never works for me!”There it was in a nutshell.
My response:“It may not be magic, then again it might be…I believe in magic….but I DO have a formula.And it works.I know it works, so it keeps working.You believe it doesn’t, and that’s YOUR formula.But your formula isn’t in your belief, it’s in your thoughts and the related actions you take.The interesting part about this is that your formula is working for you too.You are putting out your intention to the universal forces that ‘stuff like this never works’ for you.And you’re right.I’m betting you get pretty consistent results with your formula, just like I do.”
He gazed at me like with that look that a confused puppy gets.“What do you mean by that?” he asked me as if I had just let all the air out of his brand new balloon.I responded:“I mean that your results are directly in line with your intention.You are intending – or thinking — that ‘stuff like this never works’ for you, so it doesn’t…but it really is working because it’s giving you exactly what you’re asking for…or more clearly, what you are feeding into it.”
“OK, tell me one more time, in plain English,” he said.I was making progress.At least he was listening now.
“Here’s what ‘s happening with you.It’s very simple, no complexity to this one at all.You are putting out a message to the universe that ‘stuff like this never works for you’ and in response, that’s exactly what you’re getting back…the stuff isn’t working.It’s really that simple.It’s not a matter of whether you “believe in it” or not.It’s purely a matter of what you are feeding into the machine. Garbage in, garbage out.And just like the genie in Aladdin’s magic lamp…the Law of Attraction responds with:Your wish is my command!”
The confused puppy look was gone and was suddenly replaced with the “light bulb” look of someone who had just discovered the magic in electricity, or fire.
“So, this stuff really works for you, huh?” my friend asked.
I just smiled and responded:“Your wish is my command!”
The Law of Attraction isn’t magic but there is magic in it, as there is in all things.The LOA is working whether you believe it or not, whether you like it or not, whether you are working with it intentionally or randomly.It’s your choice.
But now that you know…What will you do differently?
It’s a brand new year and time for some brand new techniques. This year, I will be sharing bits and pieces of my Law of Attraction ACTION PACK – Seven Days to Success with the Law of Attraction. This newly released program is designed with you in mind, it’s fast and doesn’t waste any time! After all, with the turbo-charged pace of life these days, we need things to happen as soon as humanly possible right? That’s why I developed this program.
Lots of my coaching clients and friends started asking me a bunch of questions about the Law of Attraction during the past year or so…questions like: “I’m meditating and I’m visualizing but I’m not having the success I want with the Law of Attraction, what am I doing wrong?” So, I would ask a few questions in return, such as: “When things start showing up around what it is you’re visualizing, what do you do?” Typically, I would get a cold stare in response, something like the confused dog look with the cocked head and confused face…”what do you mean, when things show up?” I realized that what most people were missing in the equation was the action part. You have to take action as things are put into your path that match up to what you’re attracting with your thoughts and emotions.
In order to assist people in making this work better in their lives, calm the active chatter in their mind and allow for the process to really take effect, I developed the Law of Attraction ACTION PACK and one of the elements in the program is the Law of Attraction MasterMind Movie. This is a 11-minute movie showing stunning visual images, text affirmations and is scored with a very special MasterMind Enhancement Music piece called (of course) “Attraction.”
As a New Year’s gift to my readers, newsletter subscribers, friends and associates, I’ve put the movie, in it’s entirety up on YouTube for all to view. Of course, the quality is compressed and not as good as the actually DVD that comes in the course but you can experience this for yourself and get the idea.
There is nothing like the real thing though….this product has recently been endorsed by my friend Marci Shimoff, teacher from the movie, The Secret and co-author of Chicken Soup for the Mother’s Soul and Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul. Marci has just released another fabulous new book called Happy For No Reason that you should definitely check out too.
This is so much great stuff to help you create your ultimate dream life…there really are no more excuses. Please, whether you use my program, or find another way, do something great! Because you can and there are others out there that need to be inspired by you…IT IS YOUR TIME!
