Practicing Praxis
By Bob Proctor
Published: September / October 2008

Praxis is a word that, until now, could be found in the vocabulary of very few people. What the airplane was to travel, what email is to communication, Praxis will become to human development.

8 Action Steps to High Performance Achievement
By: Dave Ramsey
Published: July 1, 2008 (Digital)

Earlier this year, at the age of 46, I took on the daunting task of running my first marathon. It takes a special level of training and effort to push yourself that hard. And as I was training I began thinking how the principles of what I was doing also have implications in every area of life where I want to be a high performance achiever.

21 Days To Change
By Bevv Beirl
Published: June / July 2008

Summer is the perfect time to make a change. Summer is the perfect time to commit to a 21day challenge that will enhance you personally and readjust your success meter for your business. Summer is the perfect time because you usually have less contact with your business colleagues and your normal business patterns are interrupted by vacations.

EGO
By Dr. Brian R. Beirl
Published: May 2008 (Digital)

The centre of Paris was quiet on that cool November morning of 1783. The cataclysm of the French revolution was still six years away. The brothers Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier were busy preparing to fulfill mankind’s dream since antiquity; to fly with the birds of the air. Their cloth balloon was a simple inverted gourd design. The vessel was suspended over the glowing embers of a fire pit. The adventurous brothers had calculated that their return to earth would be possible by the gradual cooling of the air in the balloon. Their understanding of the dynamics of air pressure and their controlled plan allowed them to view the roof tops of Paris for 20 minutes and return safely. The world had changed.

Wealth It’s Not About the Money
By Bob Proctor
Published: April / May 2008

One of the key concepts to creating wealth is to understand that money is not the goal. That’s right, I said, money is not the goal.

Frequently people will tell me that they want to make money. However, I know it is not money they are really after. It is the things that money can buy and the freedom of time to do what they really want. While you may think this is an insignificant difference, it is actually the reason so many people never become wealthy.

Overcoming Adversity
How to be calm, cool and effective in dealing with any problem in life

By Brian Tracy
Published: April / May 2008

You will have to deal with countless problems and difficulties throughout your life. They never end. The only question is, “How good are you?” when it comes to overcoming the inevitable adversities of life.

Live, Love, Laugh and Linguine
by Bevv Beirl
Published: February / March 2008

Linguine you say? Yes, linguine I say! Why? Because in our effort to make sense of it all, we’ve lost the impromptu, impetuousness, and fun of life. We’ve dissected, analyzed, scrutinized and categorized everything from laundry to love.

Are You a Resolution Keeper?
By B e v v Beirl
Published: January 2007

Ready or not, 2008 has arrived and you are on your way to another successful, exciting, and enlightening year. Or not! You decide. Once a year we get to wipe the slate clean and “once and for all” do what‘s necessary to fulfill our dreams and aspirations. The questions are – are you uncomfortable enough to follow through with your resolutions? Can you keep your promise to yourself this year?

You Have Promises to Keep
By: B e v v Beirl
Published: December 2007

How well do you keep your promises? Are you good at following through? How many times have you started over in a career, fitness plan, or relationship? Are these questions making you squirm a little?

Many people go through life as dabblers. They’re always trying something new or moving from one job, career or relationship to the next. It’s not uncommon for people to choose their vocation based on family or peer pressure, only to realize they hate what they’re doing. They may also choose the career based on potential income and financial security. After climbing several rungs of the success ladder, they realize the ladder is against the wrong wall, so they move on to the next ladder.

Fantasy, Theory, Fact
By Bob Proctor
Published: November 2007

Everything has its origination in the form of a fantasy, which some adventurous soul dares turn into a theory and then becomes bold enough to turn into a fact. This entire transition is the result of the highest form of no-limit, positive thinking available, yet the cautious may construe this as erratic or irrational behavior.

A Better Life … Only a DECISION Away!
By Bob Proctor
Published: October 2007

Decisions, or the lack of them, are responsible for the stagnation of many a career. Individuals who have become very proficient at making decisions are the same people whose annual incomes fall into the six and seven figure category. However, it’s not just your income that is affected by decisions; your whole life is dominated by them. The health of your mind and body, the well-being of your family, your social life, and the type of relationships you develop, all are dependent upon your ability to make sound decisions.

 

Your Wish is Your Command!!!

By: B e v v Beirl
Published: October 2007

Remember the story about Aladdin and the lamp? Can we learn from this fable? Absolutely! In the July issue article Are You Attractive? you were introduced to the Law of Attraction. You learned that there are two possible energies: negative and positive. You learned that the most successful, creative and powerful people in the world understood/understand and utilize this basic universal law of attraction. Now it’s time to put the law to the test in your own life.

 

Attitude

By Bob Proctor
Published: September 2007

Victor Frankl once wrote, “Everything can be taken from a person but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one’s attitudes in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.” Frankl was right. Attitude is a choice. You could be faced with a thousand problems, many or most over which you have absolutely no control. However, there is always one thing in which you are in complete and absolute control, and that is your own attitude.

 

How you see is what you see!

By B e v v Beirl
Published: September 2007

This is a test!  Before reading this article, grab a pencil and paper and write three statements comparing the 4 objects above.

Have you ever been asked what the USP is of your business? Maybe you decided to create a brochure or a display ad to use in your marketing campaign and the marketing company insisted you give them your USP. Unique Selling Points set you apart from all the other sandwich shops or carpet cleaners or insurance companies. Your USP will highlight how you are different, better and why a customer should do business with you.

Imagination
By Bob Proctor
Published: August 2007

Have you ever wondered how children can sit through replays of their favorite Lion King or Little Mermaid video? It amazes me that they’ll watch the same show every day without a single complaint or request for something new.

Goals are Useless ...
By B e v v Beirl
Published: August 2007

Whoa!!!! Did a business coach actually say goals are useless? Let’s complete the thought. Goals are useless if there’s no vision. It seems that somewhere along the way emphases have been on setting goals. We’re told we must have short-term, mid-term and long-term goals. We’re told that the goals must be specific and measurable with a time frame attached. All of that is great advice; however, what is a goal without a vision?

What Millionaires Know ... and Do!

by B e v v Beirl

In April we talked about defining what you really, really want and creating a mission statement of 10 or fewer words. You should be able to spout off your mission at any moment, even if awakened from a dead sleep. Your mission/wants statement should become a part of your very fiber. Millionaires know this!

 

Are You Attractive?

by B e v v Beirl

Are you attractive? More than you would ever imagine. Not only are you attractive, you are magnetic!!!

Take a walk on Clearwater Beach, open any magazine, or observe the signs and billboards on Dale Mabry or US 19 and you will find proof positive that our society is obsessed with outer attractiveness. Botox, body contouring, hair transplants, and slimming fashions, are just a few examples of how we think about becoming more attractive on the outside.
