Science of Visualizing

How To Maximize The Power of Attraction Accelerator

Attraction Accelerator background music was developed by a group of scientist. The purpose of this audio is to maximize the ability of our brain. The beats in the music is design to put our brain into a very positive or ideal state.

This article is not about the audio but on how we can use the audio in the process of attraction. If you want to learn more about Attraction Accelerator, you can click on the link below.

I personally use this tool during my visualization process. As a writer, ideas are very important to me. I will usually play the Attraction Activator and visualize the ideas pouring in to my brain. I picture my brain sending out waves to find some great ideas like a wireless card sending out waves to find the connection signal.

From my experience, I attract more and better idea as I visualize with the Attraction Activator than without it. Attraction Activator will not only put my brain into a great visualization state but also put myself into the right emotions.

I can not describe exactly how it feels but it can change my emotion from low and down state to high, cheerful and resourceful. It works like magic. I was doubt when I was first told about it.

However, when I am trying to visualize my goals in front of my vision board, I prefer to play Attraction Accelerator because the music is softer and more appropriate for me.

I can think of what I want when I try to visualize my goals in front of my vision board but I can not feel that I live in it. Since I started to use the Attraction Accelerator background music, everything changed. I can feel exactly that I already have what I want and I can live in the life of my dreams.

Until today, I can not figure out how and why. It just works like that.

Best Way to Start an Internet Business

The Best Way To Start Up In The Internet Marketing Business

THE “KICK” OF STARTING UP A NEW PROJECT

We all know the feeling about starting up a new project or idea, where you have this feeling of this great “KICK”, you just have so much motivation and the adrenalin in running around in your body.

You have a feeling you can fly, you feel invincible, your body and mind is filled up with this magic feeling and:

  • You are full of plans.
  • You are full of energy.
  • You can hardly sleep at night.
  • You can work 20 hours a day with the project.
  • You make plans for the future, when this project has become a big success.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG

But all that comes to an end all too soon, and after this first big “Kick” has disappeared, and when the project/work begin to be a daily routine, where only hard persistent work counts, we all know this feeling of:

  • Things are not going as we hoped/planed.
  • Feeling of isolation with your project.
  • Lack of motivation.
  • Lack of new ideas for the project.
  • Depression by not being able to move the project to the next step.

And soon there is a big risk, that the project will be another failure of projects…

We all know that feeling, we have all had this awful feeling at some time.

That Feeling of Being Alone on the Planet.

How can we avoid finding ourselves in a situation like this again ?

The answer is Simple “BEING PART OF A TEAM OR A NETWORK”.

Successful business people are team players. They do not work alone.

You just have to look at successful marketers, they have all seen the big advantages of being part of a group/network. team. When they have an idea, or need inspiration or sparring, they have a network to get feedback from, and that help them to form and marketing the idea in the right way. You should do the same – build up a network or join a group, which can help you to build up this network.

MOTIVATION, DISCIPLINE AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Lets admit it - 95% of all Human beings are lazy!

We all fall into the habit of procrastination. So do the successful people.

But do they let procrastination stop them from stepping onto the fast track to success ?

Definitely not!

While with great discipline it is possible to keep procrastination at bay, successful people use a two-pronged attack.

Prong 1. Discipline and accountability through TEAMS/Network Groups.

A public commitment to your team keeps you accountable for your words and actions.

Prong 2. Support and Encouragement from Your Team/network mates.

Teams are capable of bringing an arsenal of thinking hats to your life and your business.

Brainstorming sessions lead to new ideas and breakthroughs.

DON'T WORK ALONE!

If you have been working alone all the time, its time for you to step out of your comfort zone! Teams and communities are a powerful concept.

Your next windfall may lie in the next team meeting or the next blog you see or get involved with.

Just make your own observations of all the successful Internet People. They all engage in Mastermind group meetings.

Andy Jenkins, Brad Fallon, John Reese, Frank Kern are all successful internet Marketers and great Networkers, and they have accumulated great internet success through their Network groups.

MAGIC KEY TO SUCCESS

When you work on the internet, it is hard not to feel isolated.

Joining an Internet Community means that you have available all the advantages of joining a Network group. But you can only make full use of that opportunity if you join a Network.

Additional Benefits of Being involved in a Wider Internet Community

The benefits of playing an active part in a Network are not limited to individual benefit.

There are big advantages for the whole network too, joining forces to synergistically escalate the networks Marketing Potential, both as individuals and as Groups.

A big advantage of being in a network and in a wider community is that helping others is a big motivational factor, and by helping others there is a big chance that you will also receive a lot of input and help for yourself.

It has been truly said, that the best way to learn something well, is to teach someone else who knows less about that subject than you do.

Helping others is a Win – Win situation for everyone.

THE INTERNET - A GIGANTIC MARKETPLACE

Remember the internet is so big, that there is plenty of room for all of us to be successful with our internet marketing, and indeed, within reasonable limits Competition is very good for us.

  1. It fires motivation.
  2. It engages the interest of the Potential Customer Group to whom you Market.

  4. You can measure whether you are better than your Competition more easily than in the absence of Competition you can create a standard which will be perceived as high value by your Potential Customer.

So therefore I urge you to join a Network/community, get involved in the community/Network, be active with the community/Network, and hereby everybody inside this community/network will help each other to become part of the exclusive group of successful internet marketers.

Learning to Be Great at Your Office

Socialize Successfully With Your Boss and Employees

During the twenty-three years I spent in management, there were many occasions when I participated in social events with my employees. Likewise, I attended parties where my supervisors were present.

By participating in hundreds of receptions, dinners, celebrations, award ceremonies, fund raising campaign kickoffs and other out of the office happenings, I have learned which communication behaviors work and which ones backfire.

You will agree that, handled wisely, social time with employees can boost morale. Employees welcome chances to get to know the boss as a person, not just a manager. During the frenetic work week, they encounter the boss as the source of discipline, assignments, occasional reprimands and, typically, very little personal chit chat. So it's refreshing to be around the supervisor when she showcases her humor, asks about your family and hobbies, and gives an unrestrained laugh.

However, both employees and bosses should be aware that the social scene does not erase the workplace lines of authority. Example: Because the boss likes your personality at a party does not mean you will get the next promotion, which depends instead on your professional skills.

Here are seven guidelines that every employer and employee should keep in mind for after-hours mingling:

ONE: Avoid off color humor. The jokes you would tell your golf buddies could jeopardize your professional reputation if you share them with workplace colleagues, no matter how informal the setting. True, they might laugh out of courtesy, or maybe from discomfort. Yet you risk losing their respect. Play safe. Don't tell any joke that you wouldn't tell at an office staff meeting.

TWO: Refrain from touching, other than a handshake greeting, unless you happen to go dancing with the group. Draping an arm around a colleague might prompt an eventual lawsuit, especially when you don't give that person an expected raise. And the employee who caresses the boss can create an image of fakery and pandering.

THREE: Drink moderately. Every year, holiday parties, company picnics and similar outings become career graveyards for bosses and employees who want to become "the life of the party."

Sometimes we assume that two more drinks will help us talk more easily. That's a mistake. Two more drinks will encourage you to talk more--period. The impaired speaking and unsteady walk that follow those extra cocktails could brand you: "lush," "a drunk," "undisciplined," or something similar.

Along those lines, never mention that drinking is important to you. Stay away from "Nothing like a stiff drink at the end of the day to help a guy unwind." Whimsically, we slip into comments like that, such as "Thought that bartender would never bring our order." Although you are trying to inject a bit of levity into the conversation, the quips could backfire, categorizing you as a problem drinker.

FOUR: Make sure you circulate among everyone present, not just the managerial group you feel most comfortable with. The person who talks with his or her clique and avoids everyone else nullifies the inclusive good will the event is intended to foster. Spend time with line employees as well as "the suits."

FIVE: Avoid shop talk. Demonstrate that you have an interesting, meaningful life away from the corporation. Nobody wants to hear your opinions about a five year plan, a drop in sales or the employee you had to fire. As an old song advises, "talk happy talk, things that people like to hear."

Stay well informed about major sporting events, releases of new movies, great places to vacation, new restaurants your friends have recommended, bestselling books and national events. Definitely, party goers want to talk about them, not corporate problems and plans.

SIX: Listen attentively. Good listeners become our favorite people. We move away from motormouths who dominate conversations. Encourage others to talk, with comments like "very interesting," "tell me more," and "What happened next?" When Stephen Covey wrote 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he titled chapter five, "Seek first to understand, and then to be understood." Follow that advice, and you'll become the hit of the company's social outing.

SEVEN: Mind your manners. If the occasion includes a meal, pay special attention to your table etiquette. You want to look like you belong at top-tier banquets. Illustrate that you have acquired polish and grace.

Goal Setting Secrets of the Real Life Indiana Jones

Remember when you were 15? Can you recall some of the dreams you had then? How many have you accomplished?

My reflection on that is what attracted me so strongly to the story of John Goddard, of whom the LA Times called, "The real life Indiana Jones," and one of his expeditions, "the most amazing adventure of this generation."

When he was 15, Goddard was inspired to create a list of 127 “life goals” (he called it “My Life List”). By his last count, the young seventy-something has accomplished 111 of these PLUS 400 others he set along the way!!

Here’s just a few of the ones he’s reached:

He’s climbed many of the world’s major peaks including the Matterhorn, Ararat, Kilimanjaro, Fiji, Rainier and the Grand Tetons.

He followed Marco Polo’s route through all of the Middle East, Asia and China.

He’s run a mile in five minutes, broad jumped 15 feet, high jumped five feet and performed 200 sit-ups and 20 pull-ups.

He was the first person to explore the 4200-mile length of the world's longest river, the Nile. (It was the number one goal of the 15-year-old Goddard and the one the Times called “the most amazing adventure of this generation.”). He has also been down the Amazon, Congo and others.

John has been to 122 countries, lived with 260 different tribal groups, explored the underwater reefs of Florida, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Red Sea, and more.

He has flown 40 different types of aircraft and still holds civilian air records; has read the Bible cover to cover and learned to speak French, Spanish and Arabic.

The last two on his original list included marrying and having children (he has six) and living to see the 21st Century, which he has done in style.

And I’m just getting started. But I think you get the point.

More than just one of the greatest adventurers the world has ever known, Goddard is an incredibly wise person, as this quote of his demonstrates: "If you really know what you want out of life, it's amazing how opportunities will come to enable you to carry them out."

How did John Goddard manage to live such an incredible life of achievement? Two simple, easily duplicatable “secrets:” He chose BIG dreams and he WROTE THEM DOWN.

There’s no power at all in small dreams. When the dream isn’t big enough, it’s too easy to give in to the obstacles that appear in our life. It’s very difficult to maintain the persistence that all great achievement requires when the dream is small or ordinary.

Harland Sanders was 65-years-old, with little more than a $105 Social Security payment in his pocket, when he started Kentucky Fried Chicken. He is said to have been rejected by over 1,000 banks before he became successful. If he hadn’t had a big dream his self-esteem could never have withstood such rejection.

One of the biggest dreamers in the world is Mark Victor Hansen. Working with his partner, Jack Canfield, their idea was rejected by 140 book publishers as “unsellable.” Today, their Chicken Soup series includes more than 70 titles that have sold more than 90 million copies in 39 languages. Mark says, “The more goals you set - the more goals you get. Think big, act big and set out to accomplish big results. ”

Not only must your dreaming and goal setting be big, but it must be in writing. Brian Tracy says that this act alone increases your odds of success by 1000%! Like many people, I’d heard that I should write my goals down, but like most people, I rarely did. Looking at Brian’s formula another way, the failure to write your goals and dreams down means that you’ve got less than a 1-in-10 chance of succeeding. Can it be any wonder then that most people don’t live their dreams?

Who knows where your life can go after it is driven by life goals. You may find yourself landing on the moon someday, which happens to be one of the few original dreams that John Goddard hasn’t realized.

Whatever you dreams may be, when you're doing your goal setting, make them BIG and WRITE THEM DOWN! Don’t be like the chap in this poem that Napoleon Hill included in the original edition of Think and Grow Rich:

"I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid."
