We Are In Charge of Our Attitudes
Our Attitudes
Chuck Swindoll once said, “We are in charge of our attitudes.”
Attitude affects everything in life. No matter how bad a situation may be, we ultimately control our outlook.
We can choose to be miserable, or we can choose to be happy and make a change.
Full Text and Quote by Chuck Swindoll
The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important that the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, that, successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company… a church… a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past… we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude… I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you… we are in charge of our attitudes.

PMA
How To Achieve Success with a Positive Mental Attitude
With a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA), dreams are realized, motivation is improved and greater confidence is created.
PMA101 is the class you could never take in school.
You can learn how to program your mind with pma to achieve success. A positive mindset will motivate you to achieve your goals. Your attitude is your determining factor of success.
Your vision of your world is created by your attitude. In other words your outlook on life is determined by how you approach things mentally. By programming your mind to think positive thoughts you can change the picture in your mind and increase your control over the outcome of your actions.
How To Stay Motivated
How can you program your mind to think positive thoughts and stay motivated? Over the years I have personally experimented with a multitude of ways to control my attitude, and some work better than others.
You’ve no doubt experienced the uplifting feeling of being in a room full of people who are all chanting, yelling or singing; perhaps at church or a pep rally. On the other hand you’ve probably been surrounded by negative people, complaining or arguing, leaving you feeling mentally drained.
Unfortunately, our minds are bombarded constantly with negative information. The television is just one example of this, but probably the best. Today’s programming is filled with news stations that run 24/7 broadcasts of the latest travesties. And, we eat it up even though we know that we shouldn’t. It’s like a drug that we can’t get enough of. And, of course nowadays we have our mobile devices and social media that follows us wherever we go.
Maintaining a Positive Mental Attitude
Our decision to fill our minds and thoughts with positive, truthful information is a hard one. Partly because of peer pressure and partly because of the curiosity we have.
Curiosity can work for us in different ways, but often it encourages us to drag ourselves down. The rush of adrenaline you feel when you suddenly find yourself in a pressure situation is similar to the rush of endorphins that flood the mind when you think positive thoughts.
Advertising and Seduction
How many times have you been seduced today? It would be hard to know the answer because it is the job of advertisers to arouse you without your knowing. Today, and every day, that you turned on the TV and watched a commercial, picked up a magazine and saw a print ad or simply logged on to your favorite social media or opened your email inbox, you have been assaulted by mind altering advertisements that your mind may not detect.
As adults we can train ourselves to avoid these ads and to simply turn the channel, but they are becoming much more sophisticated. Advertisers purchase your demographics from sources that you thought were protected to send you targeted messages. Spammers use complex algorithms to fill your email box with sexy solicitations and trash. Avoiding this negativity is becoming much harder.
We will delve deeper into ways to avoid the rubbish later, but for now let’s focus on the positive. Obviously not all advertising is bad, sometimes it’s just hard to interpret. For instance, you’ve probably been touched by ads from charitable organizations that urge you to donate, or insurance companies that encourage you to protect your family. Perhaps these types of ads will leave you with a feeling of hope or accomplishment, because they have touched you in a way that inspires you to do what you feel is good.
Good and Bad
Throughout every day we have to decipher the good from the bad. In order to focus on the good it is important to avoid the clutter and pay close attention to our surroundings. Just as our parents warned us to watch who we were friends with, the same applies as adults.
We as humans are likely to read, watch and use the same materials as our peers. So, what are the people you spend your time with doing? Is that congruent to what you want for yourself? If not, then you have some important decisions to make.
Motivation and Inspiration from Reading
It’s easy to get caught up in every day life and avoid the things we know can improve our lives. You may want to ask yourself, what was the last book I read? Perhaps you already read motivational or inspirational books.
Books and quotes are my favorite way to clear my mind and replenish it with positive thoughts. You may even listen to positive or educational tapes or cd’s in your car, if so you are on your way to a better life.
The Bible is a great source of inspiration and one that can provide hope and instill faith. Attending Church will allow you to surround yourself with others that also have a desire to improve their lives.
Inspirational music can fill your heart with love and open your mind to hope. And prayer can provide you with strength in any situation.
“To You I will cry, O Lord my Rock: Do not be silent to me, Lest, if You are silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.”
(NKJ) Psalm 28:1
Keep reading and keep learning. Inspire hope and faith by surrounding yourself with positive and uplifting people. You have what it takes to be successful in whatever you choose.
Until next time, whatever your dreams are, Go For It!

How To Make Sure Your Financial Goals Actually Happen!
It’s mid-year and usually by now many of us have lost track of the goals we set at the beginning of the year. If you are on track, then consider yourself fortunate or at least persistent. Regardless of where you are in your goal setting, I encourage you to take some time now to reevaluate your financial goals and make sure they actually happen. And, I’ll share with you the steps you can take to create success relatively quickly as an entrepreneur.
As we are blessed with the abundance of life, we often find ourselves sidetracked or too busy to fulfill our plans and commitments as first intended. But… don’t let that stop you. You can absolutely turn the table and accomplish your goals in less time than you originally anticipated. However, it will take some effort and determination.
The good news is, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel, buy some expensive training, or invest in some new opportunity to make your dreams a reality. But, you may have to change your habits, or your friendships, and maybe even let go of some detrimental beliefs.
What I will share with you came through my personal experiences and a lifetime of personal growth. These philosophies and principles were taught to me by others who have graciously shared their secrets and wisdom. Business leaders like Adam Smith, Dale Carnegie, Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, Jim Rohn, Denis Waitley, Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracey, Robert Kiyosaki and a host of others. So, get ready to accelerate your path to success and take action on your goals.
You’re going to learn in this short post proven steps that will position you to become successful as an entrepreneur and achieve your financial goals quickly. Everyone has different goals and commitments, but one thing that is usually common among all of us is that we want to increase our ability to create wealth.
The following Principles are Imperative to Your Success:
1. You have to change if you want change to happen.
2. You must be willing to accept complete responsibility for your success or failure.
3. You have to take action and focus your efforts in order to succeed.
Since this entire blog is fundamentally based on mental capacity, it is pertinent to recognize the importance of having a positive attitude. As Earl Nightingale pointed out, you become what you think about. Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, said that attitude is the number one attribute that constitutes real riches. Bottom line, if you want to win in the financial game, you have to have the attitude of winning. Denis Waitley in speaking on winning, said, “It’s really all in your attitude.”
Okay, so you may be saying, that’s fine and dandy, but what do I do? Clearly, You have to learn from those who have been successful doing what you want to do. Chances are there is someone right in your community who has created great wealth in your particular field or occupation. Perhaps you want to create wealth in another industry, you can. There are no limits as to what you can do.
Important Economic Philosophies:
A job will earn you a paycheck, but a business can earn you a fortune. ~Jim Rohn
You can have everything you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want. ~Zig Ziglar
Each person, by looking out for him or herself, inadvertently helps to create the best outcome for all. ~Adam Smith
In his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki describes how you can create wealth by increasing your cash-flow. If you work in a traditional job by the hour or for a salary, you may think this is impossible. And, to an extent it is, primarily because you have to depend on others for your paycheck. In this case you may want to consider a side business.
If you are not happy with your income and you strive to attain higher financial goals, maybe it’s time to start a business. Most people have thought about owning their own business, but fear they could not be successful. Many times this fear is brought on by naysayers or a false illusion in our minds. Zig Ziglar calls this False Evidence Appearing Real or FEAR. You can overcome these fears by simply changing who you associate with and surrounding yourself with positive, goal-oriented people. Denis Waitley said, “Take a good look at your friends and you will see your future”.
While there are literally thousands of side businesses you can start, most will require an investment of some sort. This should not be looked upon as a bad thing, because the best investment you could ever make is in yourself. Many times this investment is relatively small and can primarily come from changing some spending and time habits. Though it is never easy, the benefits of owning a business far outweigh the effort.
You may be familiar with the “latte experiment” where a person was spending $3.50 per day on a coffee latte, and wasting a half hour waiting in line and traffic. By simply changing some habits this person could make a coffee before leaving home and recoup $100 per month as well as 10 hours that could be used to create wealth.
As a lifelong entrepreneur I started with my own paper route at age 11. From there I sold t-shirts and eventually opened a retail store. I’ve worked door-to-door selling Bibles and I even sold soap with Amway in the early 90’s. I’ve invested in multiple businesses, the stock market and real estate, where I have made and lost money. Today, I earn my living as a financial consultant where I teach others how to protect and create multiple sources of income.
Through all of these experiences I have continued my education. I’ve purchased literally hundreds of books, cd’s and training programs on finance, business and success. And, if I had it to do over again, I would. You see, these investments were in myself. They were an investment in my knowledge, and this knowledge can never be taken away from me.
In reality, you can learn everything you need to know about business and finance by simply reading. You can get the equivalent of a college degree or even a doctorate by visiting your local library, and it’s free! Charlie “Tremendous” Jones said, “You are the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read.” I agree wholeheartedly with this statement, but I may add one thing more, “the places you go.”
By simply reading 15-30 minutes per day, you can read a book per month. That means you could read 10 books per year! That’s more than 95% of the population and that would provide you with expert knowledge. You can use this expert knowledge to build your fortune. Once you have educated yourself properly you can determine the business that’s right for you.
When choosing or starting any business, you’ll want to keep these 2 things in mind:
1. Do what you enjoy
2. Find a starving audience
“The biggest mistake people make in life is NOT making a living at doing what they most enjoy.” ~Malcolm Forbes
One of the best options for starting a business and becoming an entrepreneur is network marketing. Network marketing companies typically have a low-cost of entry and provide excellent training.
Network marketing may not be for everyone. The important thing is to do your research and look for a company that provides a product you believe in. You’ll also want to look at the people behind the company and their background. It is also important to choose a product that provides a benefit that is a solution to a problem.
Probably the greatest benefit of network marketing is that you can work from home, part-time. So, you don’t have to quit your day job until you have created the income you desire. Another great benefit is that you can potentially earn more part-time from home than you can full-time at a normal job.
Regardless of where you are in life, you can change today! You don’t have to depend on, or wait for anyone to improve your life and reach your financial goals.
Follow these 6 Steps to Create Success as an Entrepreneur:
1. Create Your VISION
2. Determine Your WHY
3. Develop a PLAN
4. Take ACTION
5. Become a LEADER
6. Take RESPONSIBILITY
If you follow these steps and make the commitment to follow through on each one, you will be successful. Take each step, tailor them to you, and write them down. Then read them aloud every day with passion and desire because when you do, you will achieve your goals!
Until next time, Go For It!

How To Live A Life Of Abundance
How To Live A Life Of Abundance by Realizing The Value of Your Time, Money and Health
Living a life of abundance is within our reach, when we realize our value.
Reflecting on time gone by helps me to realize my value to society and my worth to myself. Not the tasks I completed or the purchases I made, but the time I have spent with my family, and what I have done to increase my value as a person.
I also consider the value that I have created for others, and what I have traded my precious time for… Because once the day is gone, it is gone forever. So, I must strive to live an abundant life today, and every day.
“Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.”
~Denis Waitley
How To Live with Gratitude
As I grow older I have learned to appreciate my time and my health more and more. Fortunately, I have been blessed far beyond my expectations with spiritual, physical and material gifts.
I can use my time and these gifts to share and benefit others or I can waste them. I’d like you to consider the value of your time and the impact you have on others lives.
Abundance
“Time is more valuable than money.”
~Jim Rohn
All of our lives we have been told that in order to increase our success and material worth we should trade our time for money. We’re told to go to school and to work hard.
And, once we achieve “success” we’re told that we should turn our money over to the financial institutions, but only after the government takes their share… for the betterment of society of course.
Our minds have been brainwashed into believing that the accumulation theory of compounding in retirement plans will create financial success. When you follow this type of thinking, you are devaluing your importance and decreasing your self-worth by basing your beliefs on economic models that are dependent on opinion.
Examining Our Worth
Our human life value, as described by the late Solomon Huebner, is the capitalized monetary worth of the earning capacity resulting from the economic forces that are incorporated within our being: namely, our character and health, our education, training, and experience, our personality and industry, our creative power, and our driving force to realize the economic images of the mind.
“It isn’t a coincidence that governments everywhere want to educate children. Government education, in turn, is supposed to be evidence of the state’s goodness and its concern for our well-being. The real explanation is less flattering. If the government’s propaganda can take root as children grow up, those kids will be no threat to the state apparatus. They’ll fasten the chains to their own ankles.”
~Lew Rockwell
Our schools indoctrinate our children from a young age with biased information and fictional characters instead of focusing on history and learning from our past. Case in point, my children participate in an accelerated reading program at their elementary school. Their available literature is almost entirely fictional consisting of fantasy and witchcraft. The problem is over time fallacies and falsehoods develop into myths. And, myths destroy our confidence by instilling our minds with doubt and fear.
“Myths which are believed in tend to become true.”
~George Orwell
Myths are based on a scarcity mindset and can be perpetuated from generation to generation. When we embrace the scarcity mindset we buy into the belief that our resources are limited. Scarcity fails to account for self-worth and further limits our opportunity for ownership and growth.
As you can see these myths can destroy your ability to create real wealth and your value as a person. Instead when you follow your purpose and focus on creating value in yourself and others, you can live a life filled with abundance and prosperity.
Adding Value to Life
“Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.”
~Albert Einstein
We must breakthrough the boundaries of traditional thinking and challenge our minds if we want to achieve our maximum potential in life. An abundant life is developed by practicing our own talents and abilities, and by aking action.
When we take action on our thoughts and ideas, based on our knowledge, we increase our worth. As we increase our knowledge, we also increase our confidence and ability to follow our free will, and make our own choices.
Live A Life of Abundance
By living a life of abundance you can follow your soul purpose and increase your value to others. You are free to focus on God’s work and your personal passions, without the limits and confines of a scarcity mindset.
When you focus on others and giving you create value for others by sharing your knowledge and developing their abilities. You are theen free to live a life of prosperity.
God has blessed us with an abundant supply of spiritual and material gifts. Our challenge is to utilize these blessings to honor God and fulfill our purpose as Christians.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Matthew 13:12
Many believe that the end of time, as we know it, is near. Ultimately, our future resides in our own hands. Our world is going to change… the question is, will you be ready for what’s next?
“You are the same today as you will be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read.”
~Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones
Personal Inventory
In closing, I’d like to encourage you take a personal inventory by asking you a few questions.
Ask yourself what’s really important to you? Why do you do what you do?
Are you spending your time with the ones that matter the most?
When making investments, consider if you are investing in yourself, as a person. Will these investments increase your value?
Are you expanding your knowledge? What are you reading and whom are you listening to?
Until next time,
Live a Life of Abundance!

Achieve Success With PMA
It’s easy to achieve success when you have PMA. With PMA or a Positive Mental Attitude, dreams are realized, motivation is improved and greater confidence is created.
You can learn how to program your mind to achieve success with positive input that will motivate you to achieve your goals.
Attitude
Your vision of your world is created by your attitude. In other words your outlook on life is determined by how you approach things mentally. By programming your mind to think positive thoughts you can change the picture in your mind and increase your control over the outcome of your actions.
