How 3 simple words got mountains of thanks

I have heard before that when you give, it comes back to you ten-fold. This idea apparently works with gratitude as well.

During my last trip, I met a guy at the hotel breakfast one morning who is in the same business as I am. He has one of those contagious personalities where people tend to gravitate toward him because of his energy. He reminded me of a mix between Jack Black and Chris Farley. He was fun to be around and we had several conversations throughout the day.

I knew immediately he would be awesome at this business. We exchanged numbers to keep in contact. That evening, during an after hours function, he was also there. I watched how people interacted with him. Truly amazing how people he did not even know were immediately attracted to his personality.

About a week later, I was looking through some pictures from the trip and came across one of him. It reminded me how much fun I had that evening. I thought I would send him a quick text just to let him know.

The text was 3 simple words: "Dude your awesome".

He send me a text back that only said "thanks buddy".

Later that day, he called me just gushing appreciation for that text. He said he had been thinking about it all day. He could not get over that fact that anyone would take the time to send him a text like that. He wanted to know what it was that would make me do that.

I just simply thought his energy was worth being noted. I didn't want anything from him. He's not a customer or prospect. I was actually kind of surprised that it affected him so much.

Those 3 simple words not only made his day, but may have created a friendship that could last a long time. In addition, he shared some information with me that may help me in my business. He only lives an hour away and wants to meet up with the wife and kids and just get to know each other.

Gratitude goes a long way. The good news is it does not cost a thing. Had he been a customer or prospect, this could have easily led to additional business.

There seems to be a very simple formula for this: Gratitude = Prosperity. There is plenty in life to be grateful for. Once you learn to discover it and show gratitude, you will begin to reap the rewards ten-fold.

Gratitude Video-"Thank You" is a gift

Every night, I always ask the kids what they are grateful for. Sometimes the answers are silly, sometimes they are profound. Either way, the point is to really take a minute and think about the good things that happen on daily basis, and not dwell on the negative.

Unconditional Love

I made this video awhile back. I never realized how important UNCONDITIONAL love was until I went through a divorce. The support I got from my family at a time I needed them made me realize just how important unconditional love really is. I learned that the real reason we do ANYTHING in life is for love. Receiving and giving of love is the true meaning of life.

Making money online: Is it for me?

People can make a decent if not very lucrative living by working from home, but it always seemed like there is some secret to making it work. The perception is that people usually fail in their attempt to start a home-based business. People don't really fail, they just quit.

There are three main reasons people quit when starting an on-line business:

1.) People believe that little or no effort is needed to succeed and make money from home
2.) People have no clue how to market or advertise their work from home business.
3.) People start their business alone without partnering or affiliating with successful work from home entrepreneurs.

In order to be successful, here are 3 things to remember:

1.) Be willing to put forth some effort in their work from home business.
2.) Duplication - Learn and train on how to market and advertise your business. Why be a pioneer when you can copy what the successful people do. This is an adult version of simon says
3.) Leverage - Align and associate with successful individuals who can help me be successful. Statistics show that the people that are your closest friends typically earn 10-20% of each other. Therefore if you hang with millionaires, you will learn the techniques needed to become a millionaire yourself.

I recently aligned myself with millionaires to ensure my success. The training and mentoring I am receiving will surely skyrocket my home based income.

Something to consider:

Are you the type of person who relishes every chance to gather around the water cooler for social interaction?

If so, then home business ownership may not be the right decision for you.

Instead, if you feel that you can be quite content sitting alone at your desk, speaking only to clients and really minding your own home business, then you might have what it takes to succeed as a home business entrepreneur.

If you feel at ease with your own company and don't need a dozen co-workers milling around your desk, then you, too, could savor the freedoms that will allow you and your family to live the lifestyle you know you want and deserve

Benefits of a home based business:

A home business means that you can take good care of your family and make money from home, simultaneously. You will have the best of both worlds! Just think--no more dirty laundry piling up--you can do it while you work. No more scurrying around at the last minute searching for a babysitter, either. And no more worrying about getting fired; you'll be the boss!

Stay positive and focused on your home based business, even if, when sales aren't up to par, you get occasional negative remarks or derogatory comments from people with stuffy, dead-end jobs. Ignore their cutting words and bear in mind that success is the best revenge! Keep your admirable, positive attitude at the forefront and show them what you're made of!

"How To Manage Yourself And Your Time (And How To Dramatically Increase Your Personal Productivity)"

I came across an amazing video today titled "How To Manage Yourself And Your Time (And How To Dramatically Increase Your Personal Productivity)".

This video clearly defines me as a low IQ monkey mind. Watch the video to find out why . One of my biggest struggles is dealing with the insane amount of distractions throughout the day. My wife says I have ADD since I am constantly going from one though to the next. I really was starting to believe her, but I realize now..It's not me. It's simply the amount of distractions throughout the day. The video is about 35 minutes long so you will want to set aside some time. It is very worth it. He outlines methods to reduce the constant bombardment of distractions to make yourself more effective and productive
