I recently attended a webinar conducted by Darren Hardy, Publisher of SUCCESS magazine. He talked about simple steps you can take to make 2010 your best year ever. As a self-made millionaire who has interviewed the most successful people on the planet, I consider Darren an authority on this subject, and thought I’d share what he discussed and encourage you to implement these simple suggestions.

If you saw the movie The Secret, you definitely heard about the Law of Attraction. A critical element to making the Law of Attraction work is to continuously express gratitude, regardless of the situation you are in. We can express thanks any time of the day, but there’s a systemic way to do this, which you can easily turn into habit. When you wake up (or after you hit the snooze button), try to do these three things – 1) Express what you are grateful for, 2) Picture in your mind one person who you want to express love to, and 3) Think about your number one goal, and then think about 3 things you will do today that will help you reach that goal. It takes only a few minutes to do these exercises, but it will put you in a positive mindset that will set you up for a productive day.

Next, consistency plays a critical role to ensure long-term success. Darren observed over a period of time three women who worked for the same company, made the same amount of money, and are in the same position. Let’s say their names are Alice, Brenda, and Carol. Alice decides to make very small, but positive changes in her daily routine, such as listening to a personal development CD on her half-hour commute to work every day. Brenda decides not to make any changes and keeps to her daily routine. However, Carol decides to allocate an hour each day to listening to news and reading gossip columns. After 10 months, Darren did not notice any significant change in the circumstances of these 3 women. But after 20 months, he noticed some changes. Alice got a slight raise after her performance review, Brenda was in the same position, and Carol was given fewer responsibilities and even got a pay cut (the company mentioned budget cut). The results were even far more noticeable after 27 months, with Alice getting a major promotion and salary increase. Brenda’s situation remained stagnant, while Carol’s performance dropped considerably.

He relates this example to the notion of compound interest. If you invest your money, you will not see results right away, but over time, you’ll see significant increases due to compound interest. Similarly, small changes in your routine will not be noticeable at first, but will yield compound effects over the long term. Therefore, you don’t have to make major shifts overnight – smaller, baby steps in making positive changes is far easier to maintain consistency. It’s far more effective than making a major change, having an explosive start, and then losing momentum and quitting after a short period of time.

Finally, Darren mentions that learning to love failure is a key element of success. We’ve all heard that failure is necessary, which gives us the opportunity to learn from our mistakes. However, embrace failure, and don’t be afraid of it. If you’ve been rejected or heard “no” many times, take this as part of the learning experience. Think about it – if you fail, it’s an additional blessing in disguise because you know you’re going to learn something from it, and that you’ll become better.

Hope this helps! If you have time, let me know what your top 3 goals are this year, and give me a shout if there’s anything I can do to help you get there.

I’ve been studying Attraction Marketing the past few weeks, and incorporating its principles into my business activities. People do business with other people, so it’s important to build trust and credibility with others before you even engage in some business relationship. I came across the below article on http://www.SolveYourProblem.com and thought I’d share with you. It gives a very good overview on the Law of Attraction, which everyone must understand if they want to succeed in the network marketing and/or online marketing business.

Enjoy the article!

What Is The Law Of Attraction?

Perhaps you’ve become aware of the popularity of the Law of Attraction. The big question is: how can you incorporate its principles into your daily existence?

To do this correctly, we must first understand what the Law of Attraction means and what its guiding principles are. Thankfully, they’re quite simple and easy to comprehend.

The Law of Attraction states that negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive. The universe can understand our subconscious minds, and it delivers things according to the way we’re thinking.

If we want the Law of Attraction to provide us with positive rewards, joy, and happiness, here are some simple strategies to follow:

1. Always give thanks. For us to live the Law of Attraction on a continuous basis, we must always give gratitude. What this means is that, no matter what we have up to this point in time, we must profess thanks for it.

If you sincerely practice this on a continuous basis, you’ll be rewarded with many positive things.

A good way to practice this on a daily basis is to give thanks each day upon rising and at night before going to bed. At these times of the day, our subconscious mind is most receptive.

Proclaiming gratitude keeps us humble and reminds us of all the good things in our lives.

2. Escape negative thoughts and feelings. More than likely your life is extremely hectic and stress-filled. It’s easy to become frustrated and negative about a lot of issues and situations. According to the principles of the Law of Attraction, we must redirect these feelings immediately. Remember that positive attracts positive, but we also must not forget that negative attracts negative.

Because of this, if we focus only on the negative, we’ll only attract negative things back into our existence. For example, if you’re in a long supermarket line, instead of thinking about how much you hate food shopping, think of your kids’ faces when you make their favorite meal.


There are many people in this world who live a positive existence; those are the

kind of people you must emulate.

3. Voice what you want. As per the Law of Attraction, if you request something, it will be brought to you. Do you want happy children, more money, love, and a well-paid job? All this can be yours, but you need to request this through your subconscious.

For instance, if you’d like love brought into your existence, you must truly picture yourself with love in your life. Imagine how happy you are, the smiles on your faces, and enjoying things together.

Just remember that you must request this sincerely. Only true positive energy will attract back more positive things. You can’t fake it!

The Law of Attraction proves to us that our subconscious is a powerful tool. It’s a tool that can provide us with everything our heart desires if we know how to use it correctly. Incorporate the principles of the Law of Attraction, and with an open heart, you can have a happy and fulfilling life.

As part of my ongoing commitment to personal development, I attended a seminar over the weekend where the speaker talked about the seven inherent growth steps every leader must take.

I have made a firm commitment to follow these steps as I develop as a leader within the network and online marketing industry. I’d like to share these seven growth steps of leadership with you, and ask if you are already incorporating these steps as a leader.

1) Connect your passion for success with a common moral good.  You must focus on connecting with other people, and create a vision that is rooted in win-win. If you focus on providing others what they need, success will eventually follow. Knowing that your product or service is a win for others creates a deeper and more legitimate passion for you to strive.

2) Become a student of your work and industry, not just a servant to it. This involves acquiring knowledge, developing ideas, and improving your skills.  With increased knowledge and skills, you are more valuable to others, which is a necessary trait of a leader.

3) Avoid extreme shifts in mood, focus, and determination when building your foundation. We must be careful not to let our emotions get the better of us. When faced at a low point or stressful situation, we must exercise calm and patience.

4) Learn to endure hardships and inconveniences with a positive spirit. Complaining about a situation will not encourage others to help you. Maintaining that positive spirit will rub off on other people, and they will be more inclined to help you get through the hardships.

5) Improve yourself more than you grow your business. Spend time on personal development, read books, listen to CDs and podcasts, and find successful mentors. If people are attracted to you because of what you achieved in personal development and the value you can offer, they will naturally follow you and eventually follow your business.

6) Foster interaction with others by renewing your faith in the inherent ability to rise to the occasion. Have the belief that people can succeed no matter what. The three keys you can do to motivate others are optimism, encouragement, and enthusiasm.

7) Understand that the greatest avenue of creating success in other is love. Always give more than you take and create a culture of generosity.

Good luck, and feel free to comment if you think there are additional steps I haven’t mentioned but worth noting for every leader.
