One of my favorite people in the whole world is T. Harv Ecker. His book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind ” changed my whole perspective and financial thermostat surrounding life and money.

One of his creeds I live by to this day is: “Don’t believe a word I say – unless you can verify it on your own to be true.”

Harv is launching a brand-new 3-part Teleseminar/Webcast series called “Your Turning Point to Financial Freedom.”

And I am inviting you – your friends, family and colleagues to be a part of any or all sessions free of charge. Personally, I urge you to stick with the entire series. (Why not, it’s complimentary – and that’s hard to beat!)

In this Teleseminar, you’ll learn the 3 key strategies to creating your financial freedom in any economy.

You’ll become even more successful and watch your earnings and bank account soar.

And you’ll avoid the “feast or famine” cycle that millions of people go through.

Here’s what’s in store for you and your referrals at these life-changing sessions ….

======================================
Session #1: How to Create Financial Freedom
====================================

One of Harv’s students once asked him, “I wish I had enough money so I didn’t have to work anymore.”

“And, how much money would it take?” He asked him.

As with most people, he couldn’t say.

Listen: the key to financial freedom is to have enough money that you don’t have to work anymore if you don’t want to. Then you have the freedom to do only what you want.

The “Freedom Number” is the exact amount of money you need never to have to work again — and in this session, we show you how to calculate YOUR Freedom Number down to the penny!

Once you know your Freedom Number, your wealth-building efforts can focus on that goal. Make sense?

============================

In this Teleseminar/Webcast, you’ll learn how to avoid the one mistake that 98% of people make in managing their money.

You’ll discover key strategies that flatten out the personal boom and bust cycles so many folks go through … and in this economy, it’s more bust than boom!

You’ll master the money rule of rich and successful people. And you’ll learn how to create a steady plan and follow it all the way to financial freedom.

I’m not a big fan of Network Television. I will watch an hour or two a week for shear entertainment value – but I can’t remember the last time I saw even a minute of Network News. It’s been years. I’d rather listen to an audio book, participate in a webinar or conference call or find a home study course to feed my mind as I continue to learn and grow. The only exception I make in arranging my schedule is during Football season, and that can turn into an entire day, typically on Sunday when I’m taking a break anyway.

Hey – I’ve been a Football fan all my life and this old dog ain’t about to turn a new trick when it comes to my Pittsburgh Steelers.

A show that I do have an interest in however airs on NBC tonight – the first of six primetime episodes entitled Breakthrough with Tony Robbins. It’s reality TV with a twist – it’s designed to inspire and enlighten you which is typical Robbins.

Some of the oldest tapes I have in my library (which should tell you how long I’ve been of fan) are from Tony Robbins. He’s one of the earliest mentors I can think of for personal development and self-improvement. In an effort to reach and positively impact even more people, Tony Robbins has created 6 one-hour primetime television specials that begin airing on NBC starting this Tuesday, July 27th at 8 p.m., 7 Central. They will run every Tuesday evening for the next six Tuesdays including tonight.

I applaud Tony for putting something positive out there in the main stream media. One of the reasons I haven’t watched a network news program in years is because it’s so negative. This person killed here – that robbery there – and the economy as always – in the toilet. If you really think about it – do you really need to know how many murders and robberies there are?

If something is important enough that you need to know – it’s going to make it’s rounds in one form or another. I certainly don’t need to go looking for it.

Tony has always been different. He’s offered tools and insights to improve people’s lives. If you’re a follower of Tony like I am, you’re going to want to tell friends, clients, family or anyone you care for about this show. Some will thank you – others will ignore you – while I’m sure there will be others that scorn you for telling them. (If that’s the case – maybe you need to reconsider who you call “friends”.)

Here’s a little bit about the show that came through an e-mail from Chet Holmes (more on Chet latter):

After more than a dozen offers and years of turning away producers and networks, Tony finally found a format that appealed to him and one that can really impact you, your friends, family and clients.

I was in the studio audience for segments of some of these shows, and there was not a dry eye in the house. You will be inspired, moved, motivated and profoundly affected. I mean this first episode is a knockout. Imagine you’re on your honeymoon and jump in the pool and hit your head on a step and, wham, you’re a quadriplegic for life.

That doesn’t just affect you. It seriously impacts your loved ones. In the very first episode, Tony shows you that “the story” you tell yourself shapes the entire quality of your life. Powerful. You have to see it.

But wait! There’s more! (I’ve always wanted to say that for some reason.)

Tony and Chet built a program called: Four Ways to Double Sales in 12 months. Because your reading this – you’ll be able to download that program as well. Even in this bad economic period, all four of these ideas help dramatically strengthen any company and give you paths to serious success.

Chet offered the free training in the e-mail —a 90 minute program from Chet Holmes and Tony Robbins absolutely free. (And no registration or e-mail required either.) You can download it here.

For more information and insight into tonight’s powerful new show, you can read more about it and watch a couple more videos @ www.breakthroughinsider.com. Everyone in the personal development and marketing world that I communicate with is talking about it. (About two dozen e-mails yesterday.)

Personally – knowing what Tony is all about and how he’s transformed lives – I can’t wait.

Some time ago I wrote about an idea given to me called “The Happy File“. I created this file for special e-mails as a suggestion from one of my subscribers as a way to save all the compliments and sincere gratitude I receive to say “Thank You” for what I do. Every time I receive a thank you, a compliment, or gratitude as a direct result of something I’ve done for them – it’s moved to this file for safe keeping.

Yesterday morning, I got a “forward” from one of my subscribers that originated from one of the best (actually he’s not “one” – he “is” the best) internet markets and copywriters in the world. The marketer I’m talking about is a good ol’ boy from Macon, GA who is now living the good life in San Diego, CA named Frank Kern.

Frank is one of the most “real” marketers I’ve ever subscribing too. I fell in love with his honestly and style from the very beginning and he’s one of those guys that knows how to communicate to the masses – but makes you feel like you’re the only person in the world he’s writing too.

Be warned however, Frank’s personality isn’t for everyone because he’s so brutally honest and he pokes a bit of fun at like – stupid people.

Hey – kind of like me!

Anyway, my subscriber (who I don’t think even knows I also subscribe to Frank’s database) sent me Frank’s e-mail with a message that I exhibit “Total Coolness”.

Now let me explain…

“Total Coolness” isn’t about struttin’ your stuff around and thinking your all that. Total Coolness according to Frank is:

“never underestimating the power of being totally cool to people and doing good things for others. I’m not talking about being manipulative and lame. I’m talking about just being a genuinely nice person who actually gives a damn.”

More from Frank’s blog:

Picture this:

You’ve got a guy who subscribes to your “Cat Juggling” list. He wants info on how to get started in the exciting career of Cat Juggling. (The prestige!) So you send him a few videos about Cat Jugging and he digs them.

He still doesn’t buy your stuff, but he’s stoked you gave him the free videos.

Then you send him a pdf outlining a great step-by-step blueprint for really making it big in the exciting world of cat juggling.

Once again, he’s stoked. Loves it. Thinks you’re awesome.

You keep this up for another six months. All the way up until Christmas.

The guy gets his Christmas bonus check and the first thing he does is run home to your site and buys your Super Deluxe Triple Diamond Level Cat Juggling Bootcamp-In-A-Box!

It’s the most expensive thing you sell, and here’s this guy who joined your list AGES ago …happily forking over full price for it.

Why?

Because you were consistently cool to him. You were actually nice. You actually helped the guy out. A LOT.

That my friend is what you get from “Total Coolness”.

Over the last two and a half years, I’ve gotten more comments about how nice and unselfish I am for giving of my time, my knowledge, and my insight into YTB because of our Newsletter. There’s a TON of crap out there on the internet. (Big surprise there I know.) I not only write about news and events – I document it with third party links to add validity and substance. This thing is LOADED with information. If you’ve gone through my “7 Day Quick Start Guide” you’ve also seen all the free stuff I hook you up with. Free Video’s, Free CD’s, Free Seminar’s and Webniars, free e-books, and a free app that helps you hunt down the best bargains on the Internet.

Just last week, subscribers were hooked up with over a dozen free travel training webinars alone. They’re by far the most popular “clicks” in every newsletter that goes out.

When it’s time to buy, they buy because I don’t offer a bunch of junk. The trust is already there, the value is there, and when the solution shows up – they find a way to buy. It may be 6 months down the road, but they’re reminded of who turned them on, and the loyalty is unbelievable.

Don’t take my word for it – take it from a guy who’s made millions doing the exact same thing – Frank Kern.

Now Frank’s not a Network Marketer. He’s a copywriter and internet marketer. I’ve used a couple of his formulas however and they work like magic. (If nothing else – they work far better than the spamming I see from “network marketers” which is so lame and totally uncool.)

Frank’s doing – you guessed it – a free series this summer on marketing. All you have to do is cough up an e-mail address, and he’ll send you the first free report right away.

Frank’s irreverent, he’s bold, he’s funny and he’s filthy stinkin’ rich.

Oh…and one word of caution: Frank isn’t for the faint of heart – only serious marketers need subscribe.

If a redneck (and he talks like one too) from Macon, Georgia can do it – so can you!

Phil Mickelson was once known as the best player without a major title. When Tiger Woods exploded onto the PGA scene back in 1996, questions if Phil would ever win a major began to circulate even more.

For me, Mickelson has always been one of those players I’ve always rooted for. It seems like ages since Phil’s second place finishes were the major topic of conversation after major tournaments. His third green jacket yesterday put Phil an elite group of golfers with names like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicholas, Sam Snead, Gary Player, Nick Faldo, and Tiger Woods.

Mickelson’s victory and his moment with his ailing wife, Amy was a stark contrast to Tiger Woods’ behavior that was exposed to the public last November. Ironically, both the Masters win, his third Green Jacket, and his wife cements Phil Mickelson’s place in this era alongside Tiger Woods.

Phil’s dedication to his wife and family make him a fan favorite for even the part time viewer of major tournaments like the Masters.

There were so many shots during this tournament, but the one I’ll always remember was Phil’s shot off of the pine needles on No. 13 between two imposing trees trying to reach the green in two shots. A risky shot with Ray’s Creek protecting the green that could have eliminated Phil from contention. (Memories of The Shark back in 1996 and Nick Faldo winning ran through my head when Phil hit the shot.)

A stroke that will be overlooked because of his win however was back on the front 9 on hole No. 2 during his birdie bid. In the middle of the green, during his back stroke a seed dropped out of the sky from nowhere directly in line with the hole. As a result, the seed bumped the ball ever so slightly to the left which robbed him of a birdie bid early in the round.

He admitted during his press conference that the shot raised questions if someone was out to get him. Like a true Champion however, he put it behind him rather quickly with a birdie on the very next hole and he never looked back.

That’s what true Champions do. There will always be situations that appear to be beyond your control. You can’t let a little bump in the road ruin your main focus. 

Augusta National will always have a special place in my heart. It’s one of most beautiful places on earth for some of the world’s most elite golfers. Television, even HD TV doesn’t do this course justice. You have to experience the course for yourself to realize just how beautiful and majestic this course really is.

I received a Facebook “tag” yesterday morning from one of my connections. One of the things I love about the growing list of friends on Facebook are the quotes I see from famous people or simple words of wisdom provided by them personally.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate reading these words and quotes on my wall. Quite often the quotes I see are extremely timely for what’s going on in my current life – or like the one I found yesterday, I can relate to through my own experience. As I wind down the week, and get ready to spend a week with my family on vacation (the kids are on Spring Break) I thought I’d share my thoughts on what was forwarded to me – and see if you can relate.

It’s entitled “Winners vs. Losers”

Winners are always part of the answer.
Losers are always part of the problem.

Nobody’s perfect and everyone has problems – but why on earth do some people constantly dwell on the problem rather than looking for an answer? I mean – does complaining actually solve anything? While “venting” can make some feel better, it doesn’t resolve squat. Furthermore, until you actually find a solution to the problem – it’s never going to go away.

I’ll expand a little more a little later on how coming up with an answer can not only eliminate problems, but can also be extremely profitable.

Winners always have a program.
Losers always have an excuse.

Remember the goal setting you did back at the beginning of the year? (You DID do the goal setting right?) That’s your program – your road map – your blueprint. You wouldn’t build a house without some type of blueprint to follow. And for guys, I know this is hard…but it IS a lot easier when you actually READ the directions. You don’t however have to tell anyone. ;-P

Let’s say your “program” comes up short, or even worse, doesn’t work at all. Instead of making excuses and thinking you’re failure, think about what you could change or tweak that to produces a better result. I never look at anything I do as a failure, only a result.

Next time you think you need to make an excuse because somebody (even your own head) screams at you that you “failed” – think about this quote:

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
~Thomas Alva Edision

Instead of coming up with excuses the next time you stumble and fall, think about what kind of adjustments you need to make to your program. What you come up with could be the light bulb you need to complete your program.

Winners say, “let me help you.”
Losers say, “that’s not my job.”

The appreciation that I receive on an ongoing basis for our newsletter is humbling. I remember a time in our company that if you weren’t part of a particular team, you didn’t get much help. I never understood that concept, and the thing that I’m probably proudest of these days is a willingness to help each other out regardless of who your sponsor is, your Power Team Leader, or your Director.

You’ll never know how good it feels to give unconditionally until you actually try. You know what they say about tithing – that works with actions too. What you give happily and without any expected return – comes back to you many times over.

Opening up our newsletter to everyone in our company has proven to be not only extremely rewarding – but produced ample opportunities for new ventures and income I could have never imagined if I didn’t freely give of my knowledge, skills and talents.

Winners find answers in every problem.
Losers find a problem in every answer.

Wanna hear a really cool definition of an Entrepreneur? An entrepreneur is a “problem solver”.

Think about it.

Have you ever heard the story of Mike Nesmith’s mom? For those who don’t know the name Mike Nesmith – think back to The Monkees’. (And if you don’t know who The Monkees’ are – just call me an old fuddy duddy and read on…)

Anyway, Mike’s mom invented “liquid paper”. Her problem was she couldn’t correct her typing mistakes on one of those old fashion typewriters. (Please tell me that you at least know what a typewriter is.) She ended up using her experience as a starving artist to solve this problem and the rest as they say – is history.

An average housewife who was simply looking for a way to solve her problem.

Winners see a green near every sand trap.
Losers see 2 or 3 sand traps near every green

It’s so odd to me how so many people focus on the sand traps instead of the green. The Masters is coming up next week. Is there any question that these professionals have a laser focus on one thing and one thing only – the green. Imagine what their game would be like if the thought going through their mind as they take the club back is “Don’t hit the sand – don’t hit the sand – PLEASE don’t hit the sand!”

Those types of thoughts only ensure that the next thing that comes out of their mouth is “[expletive]! I just hit the sand!”

I can tell you from personal experience that listening (or reading) from those who focus on the sand will land you in that trap. And it doesn’t matter how strong willed you think you are. That kind of negative crap will rub off on you like it or not.

Instead, get yourself a Coach who will not only show you the green – but how to hit it every time.

All those Golf Pros you’ll see next weekend at The Masters have a Coach, and it’s because of their Coach (along with a lot of hard work and practice) that their playing on one of the most pristine tracks known to man – and you’re sitting at home watching.

Winners say, “it may be difficult, but it’s possible.”
Losers say, “it may be possible, but it’s too difficult.”

What the mind can conceive, it can achieve. Kennedy knew this when he gave our nation the goal of sending a man to the moon and landing him safely back here on earth. Ford knew it when he gave his engineers the task of creating a V8 engine.

Imagine where we would be if someone said “Nah – it’s too difficult.” The amount of problems and scenarios to overcome in order to land a man on the moon is mind blowing. Nothing worthwhile is ever easy – and I don’t know about you, but I’m nowhere close to knowing everything or feeling like I can stop learning, growing and expanding.

Walking was once difficult when you were a baby – but possible. Becoming financially independent in this current economic climate is difficult – put possible. If you see others doing it, it’s possible. The trick is finding out what they think – how they act – and what they feel. Then just model that behavior.

I won’t be around next week. Instead, I’ll be spending some time with my family and myself to work on more goals. I’ve checked off some born and achieved back in December and January – and it’s time to re-evaluate and create new ones. My own quarterly report if you will. I’ve also got some new ideas that you’ll find out more about in this weekend’s Newsletter and you’ll see one of the steps I’ve taken and how I’m planning to achieve this new idea.

So food for thought as we move into your week – be it spring break or not:

You’ll enjoy your weekend and you’re week much better if you think and act like a winner instead of a loser.

Every watch a scary movie and your heart starts pounding out of your chest?

Have you ever thought about why you do that? I mean it’s a movie – you know that – right? The people on the screen are actors and while nobody actually comes right out and says it; consciously you know that no humans were actually harmed in the making of that film. Consciously, we know that it’s all make believe.

So why does our adrenalin start to surge through our bodies, and our blood pressure rise when watching these actors on the screen?

Because your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined. Our subconscious mind is preparing us for the fight or flight response we have when watching. Subconsciously – that movie is very real!

The vast majority of what we do is subconscious. It’s why we can walk and chew gum at the same time without giving it a single thought. We just do it – seemingly without effort.

We’ve all learned how to do certain things that appear to be effortless now. Walking, riding a bike, swimming, even driving a car. When we first learned how to drive, we couldn’t even hold a conversation at the same time. All our focus and energy was focused on the act of driving. Today, we’re talking on the phone and texting while driving. Which I don’t actually recommend by the way, but see it done all the time. (And what’s with you women putting on makeup while driving?!)

The subconscious mind stores everything that’s not in your conscious mind. All your life experiences, the geometry you learned back in grade school, images of summer camp, to the piano teachers who use to bust your knuckles with a ruler for not doing your scales properly. Everything including your current belief system about money, and society in general all reside in the subconscious mind.

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
~Napoleon Hill

Bill Gates was only guided by a “belief” that a computer would be in every home. Those computers needed software. Some called him crazy; companies like IBM didn’t think software was where it was at. You couldn’t touch software – and most didn’t understand software at the time. To this day, the average computer user doesn’t have a firm grasp on computer code to this day.

But you don’t need to understand HTML in order to read this article. Just like you don’t need to understand how electricity operates to turn on a light switch. Nor do you need to know how a combustible engine works in order to drive a car.

My point here is that you don’t really need to know how the subconscious mind works in order to change your circumstances and beliefs. You just have to be willing to believe there is a better way.

“Don’t believe what you see – See what you believe.”

If you’ve been around YTB for any length of time, you’ve heard that before. And it works!

Let’s go back to the car example again. Ever see a car that you really – really like and want? Once you pick that car out it’s amazing how that car all of the sudden pops up wherever you look. It’s happened with every car I’ve ever purchased. When Mustang changed their model back in the early 90′s I fell in love with it and everybody was driving one. Same thing happened early at the turn of the century when Chrysler came out with the 300M.

Why is that? Because the subconscious has triggered a “Google Alert” that provide examples of that car at every possible turn. The cars have always been there, it’s just so happens that you’ve set an alert to provide examples for you without consciously thinking about it.

If it works for cars like this, could it work for clients or prospects for your business? You bet it could!

The trick is finding the desire and belief that it’s possible. You don’t have to know how, nor do you have to have the means to actually do it right now. However, like the movie example, your subconscious doesn’t know that you don’t have your first client or recruit. It’s primary job once you set that desire and belief is to alert you of the examples of a potential client or prospect. All you have to do is recognize that alert and act on it. Dr. Joe Vitale calls it “inspired action”.

Truth be told, this is the exact reason why people get lucky. They not only desire the outcome, they believe it’s possible. The only difference between someone like them and you is that they took action when the subconscious mind sent out the alert.

So the next time someone tells you that a belief or an intent is silly, doesn’t work or impossible. Remember that the subconscious mind can’t tell the difference.

And if you need reminded of that, go rent a scary movie.

I had the following story forwarded to me this weekend by one of my subscribers. I have no idea who the author is, or it’s origins. Heck, I don’t even know if it’s true or not. (Although if it isn’t – it should be.)

If you do an internet search on this piece you’ll find pages and pages of this piece – my guess is because it’s touched a lot of lives. My hope is that’s exactly what it does for you.

Change Your Thinking

It will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs.

His bed was next to the room’s only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation..

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity an color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.

Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats.

Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band – he could see it in his mind’s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep.

She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.

He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, ‘Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.’

Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can’t buy.

‘Today is a gift, that is why it is called The Present.’
