The “missing link” for most people is their own personal development.  Unfortunately, many people are not aware of how much they really need it.

Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to re-read one of the great classics of the personal development genre.  The book is Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill.  It was on my list of books to pick up from Amazon.

There have been a lot of reprints of Think and Grow Rich, including this version by author Ross Cornwell.

However, courtesy of my friends over Subliminal MP3s, I was given a copy and I am reading it again now.

If you are not familiar with the book.  It will give you the very same formula that Andrew Carnegie used to become one of the richest men in the world.  He later taught it to students like Charles Schwab and other notable men of that time who used the formula to amass fortunes and success.

The reason that I am tying Subliminal MP3s and Think and Grow Rich together is that Subliminal MP3s has a way to put your reading of  Think and Grow Rich on steroids.  They sell subliminal Mp3s that will subliminally influence your subconscious with the affirmations needed to change your way of thinking as your read the book.  I am using the MP3s and I think they work great.

They have Mp3s for just about any change that you may want to make in your life.  Subjects range from weight loss to improving your organizational skills.  The best part about their product is the price – $14.95 or less. That’s right, only $14.95!  If you purchase 3 or more, your price per Mp3 actually goes down.  If you follow this link, they will give you a free sample.

Also, if you would like a free copy of Think and Grow Rich for yourself, just leave a comment on the blog.

Before you can answer that question, I should probably define success, because success can certainly mean different things to different people.

I define success as having healthy relationships with your family, having physical health and having enough money so that your money is working for you and you are not working for your money.

Success is a lifestyle.  A lifestyle that has very few limitations.  You can go where you want, when you want.   A lifestyle that very few people enjoy.

So what does it really take to have that kind of lifestyle?  Well it might come as  surprise to some that probably 90% of your success in life will come as a result of your mental attitude.  As Zig Ziglar used to say, “Your attitude will determine your altitude!”

Because this blog is for network marketing leaders (and for those who want to become one), I am going to reference one of the leaders in this industry.

One of my mentors is Mike Dillard.  In the first book of his that I read, Magnetic Sponsoring (a must read for anyone participating in this industry) he says that people are attracted to leaders.  People are attracted to people that give value.

If you go to a big hotel to attend a network marketing company meeting and you see that guy up on the stage, that guy (or gal) is a leader and people are attracted to him.  That is why he is so successful. In order for you to become successful like that guy, you have to become that guy.

When I first read that, that was a profound statement for me.  It was profound because it made so much sense.   I got it.  But, there was a problem.  How was I going to become that guy?  I was broke, I did not know anything and I certainly wasn’t adding any value.

Well, what I have discovered is that while much of your success in this business will come from the skills that you acquire in marketing, prospecting, copywriting, etc I would say that the majority of your success will come as a result of having the proper mindset.

You must have the proper mindset as it relates to money, abundance, prosperity, health and wealth.

The funny thing for me is that I ignored that advice for so long because I thought that I already understood it.  I had tons of books and tape sets on personal development in my basement.  But, that was the problem, they were in my basement and I wasn’t studying them.  For that reason, there should be no wonder why I wasn’t achieving the kind of success I wanted.

The discovery…

The realization that personal development was the missing link for me led to a discovery.  A discovery that was right under my nose!

The path that led to my discovery began with a book by Asara Lovejoy called “The One Command“.  In her book, she asserts that we can shortcut the accomplishment of our desires by speaking directly to our subconscious mind at the theta brain level.

With out going into too much detail (you will have to read the book for that), there are 4 levels of brain activity.  Beta (14-3o hz), Alpha (8-13.9 hz), Theta (4-7.9 hz) and Delta (.1-3.9 hz)

The highest level is the Beta brain level.  This is the conscious mind, the one that you are in now.  However, the 2 deepest levels (Theta and Delta)  are where your subconscious mind resides.  In her book, she takes you through an exercise to take you into Theta so that you can speak directly to that part of your consciousness.  When you do so, you bypass all the filters of the the conscious mind (the filters are what tell you that you can’t accomplish what you want) and speak directly to the subconscious.  This is the shortcut for achieving want you desire.

The problem I had with the book was because I had not been practicing any kind of meditation like the author of the book has for so long, I found it difficult to get into the Theta state using the exercise.  I am not saying that it does not work, however because I was not practiced in the methods, I found it difficult.

However, that experience reminded me of something that I already had in my library.  About 10 years ago I had purchased some CDs from Centerpointe Research called Holosync.  Using aural technology, the Holosync CD’s take you into an Alpha state just by listening to them with headphones.

My Holosync Experience, thus far…

Since, I already owned the CDs, I began using them again.  My experience thus far has been good.  When I first started using them, I experienced something strange.  It was almost like a  tension in my forehead.  However, it was not like a headache.  It was different.  That feeling went away after the first few days.  The main thing that I have noticed that I am really excited about is an increase in energy.

I had really been having a problem with keeping my energy level up. It gets so bad that if I take a long drive, I have a difficult time doing that without an external stimulant like “5 Hour Workday”.  I don’t like putting drugs into my body, but it was do that or fall asleep at the wheel and crash.  However, since I have been listening to the CDs,  I feel like I have a lot more energy and I am really curious about what my next long distance driving experience will be like.

The next thing that I have noticed, although more difficult to quantify is my attitude has definitely improved.  I feel more powerful and confident.  I feel like I can accomplish much more.  Like I said, that aspect is difficult to quantify.

Holosync is  definitely a hi-tech solution.  But, if you know me I a little bit of a techno-geek (ok, a lot   ); there has been an improvement and I doubt that I could have  seen some of the results that I am seeing with out it.

I know that it takes some time, but it is very important that you do this. I did not see this mentioned in the back office, but someone did mention it on the one of the Wake Up Calls. I created this video to help members of my team.

Coffee from the Magic Power Coffee MLM could actually be deadly.

If the Magic Power Coffee MLM was on your radar screen, sorry better look at something else.      

FDA Warns Consumers to Avoid Magic Power Coffee
Product marketed as sexual enhancement is contaminated with potentially dangerous ingredient      

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers that Magic Power Coffee, an instant coffee product marketed as a dietary supplement for sexual enhancement, contains an active drug ingredient that can dangerously lower blood pressure.      

Consumers who have Magic Power Coffee should stop using it immediately. Sexual enhancement products that claim to work as well as prescription products are likely to expose consumers to unpredictable risks and the potential for injury or even death.      

In the case of Magic Power Coffee, the FDA collected and analyzed the product and determined that the product contains hydroxythiohomosildenafil. This is a chemical similar to sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra. Hydroxythiohomosildenafil, like sildenafil, may interact with prescription drugs known as nitrates, including nitroglycerin, and cause dangerously low blood pressure. Consumers and health care professionals should be aware of this problem and the health hazard it presents.      

When blood pressure drops suddenly, the brain is deprived of an adequate blood supply, which can lead to dizziness or lightheadedness.      

“Because this product is an instant coffee labeled as an ‘all natural dietary supplement,’ consumers may assume it is harmless and poses no health risk,” said Deborah M. Autor, director of FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Office of Compliance. “In fact, Magic Power Coffee can cause serious harm.”      

To date, the FDA is not aware of any adverse events associated with the use of this product.      

The product is distributed on Internet sites and online auctions by multiple independent distributors participating in an online multi-level marketing scheme. It is sold in a 2-serving box and a 12-serving carton containing six 2-serving boxes.      

The FDA advises consumers who have experienced any negative side effects from sexual enhancement products to consult a health care professional and to safely discard the product. Consumers and health care professionals should report adverse events to the FDA’s MedWatch program at 800-FDA-1088 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              800-FDA-1088      end_of_the_skype_highlighting or online at www.fda.gov/medwatch/report.htm      

During the past several years, the FDA has found many products marketed as dietary supplements for sexual enhancement that contain undeclared active ingredients of FDA-approved drugs, analogs of approved drugs or other compounds that do not qualify as “dietary ingredients.” Multiple alerts issued by the FDA about these contaminated dietary supplements can be found here.       

“The FDA is committed to protecting public health and stopping the illegal marketing of unapproved drugs,” said Autor. “We support vigorous law enforcement and criminal prosecution of violators of safe drug laws.
