Remember, “A life lived by choice is a life of conscious action, a life lived by chance is a life of unconscious reaction. Choice is a function of awareness.”



Due to the popularity and oversubscription of the previous event, this powerful teleseminar returns to help you overcome the most common and limiting misconception about what influences success in life.

Contrary to popular belief, there is a Science to Success.

Incredibly, the subject isn't featured within the traditional education curriculum, structured to reward people for what they know, not what they do. Paradoxically, life rewards people for what do not what they know.

To make matters worse, the vast majority of adult and business education training initiatives are underpinned by the same archaic approach to learning, which assumes that IQ, an individual's intellectual, analytical, logical and rational abilities, is the primary intelligence that denotes success. It simply isn't so.


Einstein knew it. He told us that humanity "should take care not to make the intellect its God, it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality"

In this service-led, creative economy of the 21st century, success depends upon human intelligences beyond the intellect, the essential character traits responsible for drawing untapped potential into performance. Sadly, few people ever have the opportunity to understand and develop these aspects of their personality.


In this insightful and powerful teleseminar, internationally respected Leadership expert Christian Simpson discusses the IQ myth, and outlines the broader human intelligences that are fundamental to success in all aspects of modern life.


Christian will also share how you can empower yourself and develop these intelligences to create fundamental performance improvements in every aspect of your life in 2010.

If you are in the business of creating success, this is not a call to miss.


Places on this ground-breaking teleseminar are limited, so please register early.

P.S. Excerpt from Lesson 1: "Become a conscious participant in your life. No longer subject yourself to the pull of the societal drift. Observe what you are being, doing and having, and decide whether it is serving you. The purpose of daily life is not discovery, it is to create who and what you are, and then to experience that which you create"

Travesty at the Airports !


As someone who fly’s more than average, I was very disappointed to learn about the latest airline idiot who has created even more Fear and panic than there ever needed to be when it comes to flying. It is not that I am anti safety measures, nor am I someone who lives in a bubble, it is just that I feel that we the majority (people who fly should have human rights, respect and humility) when we walk through the rouse of “sovereign” nation of the international airport.

What is it going to take before people say…enough is enough! Stop wasting money on treating the symptom and let’s start considering curing the causes. These band-aid solutions are not going to keep working for too much longer before people get wise to the “swindle” taking place right before our eyes. What if instead of spending more money to hire people to scavenger through the underwear in my carry on …we start looking outside the airport to once and for all correct the problems. Outside, like the other 750 redundant levels of government bureaucracy that was set up to police the suspected terrorists in the first place. “I am sure that these systems of government run almost as effectively as every other level of government” I say extremely sarcastically ..(with the exception of the tax department blood hounds.) That is why it gets a lot more press announcing changes at the airport rather than the pulling up the governments’ socks and communication skills between departments.

It was all a magic trick pulled on not only the nation but also the world by broadcasting no more liquids over 100ml. Magicians use diversionary tactics in order to successfully pull off a trick. This diversion involved participation by every single audience member…we the flyer's, all of the sudden the government is doing something! Outstanding…but wait, hold on a second, what has this accomplished? Countless hours of lost time, billions of government (our $) debt spending, and loads of money spent on site at the airport by bilking customers that now have to get their liquid fix behind the gates.

So before everyone is subject to pre-flight enemas, can we have some changes in the places that really could make a difference? In the agencies that were set up to combat it all from happening. Why didn’t anyone listen (this time) when President Obama hit the nail on the head by publicly announcing that the “SYSTEM failed! “ He said the system failed… that mean’s the PEOPLE, the conversation and the practices failed! So, instead of firing the cafeteria lunch lady because the cow never produced milk…. (I know it doesn’t make any sense.) What if we were to address the real problem, fix it and carry on…instead of continuing to live in the anti-democracy that we have now, where the few dictate to the many?

Think about this for a second, “Your chances of being involved in an aircraft accident are about 1 in 11 million. On the other hand, your chances of being killed in an automobile accident are 1 in 5000.”

Let’s address the ridiculous overlap of government fractions and start streamlining, simplify and fix what is not working. Focus on conversation, communication and restoring the dignity of the frequent flyer. Think about how much safer it would be if the right hand knew what the left hand was doing… but that would mean intelligence sharing and to do that, it would take some intelligence to start with. Let’s get it together!

I am on my way to the airport on Saturday, the nice thing is that it is a smaller airport so the lines etc, will not be a problem. Paying for luggage… I can handle, no carryon… is not great but let’s do something before the smaller airports have to do naked pat downs because they can’t justify the multi-million dollar expense for the transparent body scan machine. PLEASE!

Humbly Yours,
Marcia

Inspire YOUr Business

I love sharing great business ideas that help elevate everyone in leadership. I just listened to a great webinar that was included in the free bundle form 180 Coaches, there were some simple easy to apply ideas that will help build your business simply...with a little bit of effort.

One of the great things that you will learn about is Joint Ventures (JV’s). I know firsthand how extremely successful this business strategy can be. In my Husband and my Electrical company, we have used the joint venture idea since the onset of our business. Some of the ways that it has worked for us is … we have bid for a job that was almost double our employee’s capacity…because we borrow employees from other like companies. This was so very successful because it allowed us to stretch our company without having more paperwork… the other employees remain employed by the other company, so they remained on the other companies benefits and payroll…we just wrote the company a check at the end of the job with a little commission to the second company. It was win/win for both companies because we were able to do the job and the second company was able to maintain good employees without having to lay anyone off. We have also had many other JV approach’s that I will share with you on another blog.


To hear about the other suggestions and to be INSPIRED into Action…. It is as simple as signing up with 180 for free… in return they will send you lots of amazing information and outstanding tools for the social development of your business. http://www.180coaches.com/ The will also send you a link to a free webinar that will show you three ways you can at least double your client database. These ideas are not rocket science, you just need to take action and implement them :)


The Creators of Beyond the Secret are very proud to announce the 180 Quick Start Coaching System! And the very thrilling part is it's FREE!

Literally everything you need to start your coaching business and/or motivate your existing business to rise to new levels of profitability… http://www.180coaches.com/

The Sovereign Man

A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of interviewing one of my favorite people. Simon Black is a world traveler and international investor. He spends his days with boots on the ground checking out the fundamentals and more of global business opportunities. Every day he sends out his newsletter called the Notes from the Field. In his letter you will find priceless information from investing to travel tips and everything in between.

Before branching out on his own, Simon wrote a newsletter (Beyond Borders) for his good friend Doug Casey. Learning first hand from under the wing of the investing "Guru" himself, Simon was a quick study and became very successful and honed his skills in not only investing but also relationship building. His personality, experience and mystery have gained him access into many closed door meetings with some of the world's biggest players.
Meet Simon, in his own words:



"Simon Black has never been a conformist. Home schooled in
his early years by his European mother who spoke six languages and had an
accounting degree, Simon spent a significant portion of his formative
learning years sandwiched between romance languages and balance sheets. It
turns out that both would come in handy.

As far back as he could trace, his ancestors had been
staunchly independent- a pair of Italian bakers, an English explorer, a
Texas farmer, a small town real estate mogul, and a Chickasaw Indian hunter.
Self-reliance, freedom, and opportunism flowed through his veins, along with
a healthy distaste for convention.

By the time he reached high school, Simon was already
working the system to his favor, devising innovative schemes to put deals
together and make money... some of which occasionally landed him in the
custody of school administrators or the local police. As such, it was a
surprise to everyone when Simon successfully sought an appointment to the US
Military Academy at West Point. Everyone thought he would fail, and he was
determined to prove them wrong.

While at West Point, Simon excelled academically and
athletically, yet struggled with the regimentation of military life. And
though he never quite figured out how to shine his shoes properly, it was
during this time in his life that he harnessed his financial background and
began investing in the market.

Graduating near the top of his class, he opted for the
counter-culture lifestyle of an intelligence officer, and for the next
several years lived two lives-one of an entrepreneur and investor, the other
as an American intelligence officer in the Middle East and elsewhere.
During his military service and throughout multiple deployments, Simon
managed to start several businesses, including a real estate holding company
that exploited a little known government program that provided substantial,
guaranteed payments to landlords.

Happily enriched, idealistic, and patriotic, Simon
enthusiastically performed his duties with the honest opinion that he was
contributing to national defense... until the windup to the Iraq invasion.
He remembers vividly how US politicians made the case for Saddam's
nonexistent nuclear arsenal, and his idealism instantly tumbled.
Ironically, around the same time, Simon discovered the writings of HL
Mencken, Ayn Rand, and his future friend and mentor, Doug Casey.

Simon found an intellectual and philosophical home in the
common sense, anarcho-libertarian ideals espoused by these authors. And
though his life as an intelligence officer deployed overseas had been
thrilling to say the least, it was a misguided career in the service of
corrupt bureaucrats.

Simon left the military almost immediately, sold his US
assets, and began a long financial and philosophical journey that has taken
him to nearly 100 countries on 6 continents. Along the way he has
participated in dozens of interesting, profitable deals and become
associated with a unique cast of characters that includes heads of state,
billionaire investors, former mercenaries, celebrities, arms dealers, CEOs,
drug traffickers, NGO fat cats, as well as legions of bankers, brokers, and
lawyers."


Simon has created his life to be one of abundance in all areas. No matter where on earth he may be, you can bet that Simon has access through his network of connections. Offering value where ever he goes, he is defiantly one investor that you do want to have a part of your business venture...and not merely for his financial contribution but also his vase understanding of
the Global business world.

Be it China, Panama, Venezuela, Germany, Argentina or pretty much anywhere, Simon has built strong relationship with the top lawyers, bankers and government agents. Since these are usually the ones with their finger on the pulse of the business culture, they are who Simon spends most of his time with... that is when he is not in the gym. He is extremely self disciplined, self motivated and self reliant. However, "Despite any measure of success, Simon's ethos is not about money; it's about freedom."

If James Bond were a real person... his name would be Simon Black. This 007 is the real life version of adventure, excitement and charisma. "Simon is an international investor forever in search of the next investment and lifestyle opportunity." Through his daily writings, he shines a light on the real world...as opposed to the one that the media has portrayed. Ranging from medical care to military, Simon fractures the stereotypes that most of the world has been spoon fed for the majority of their lives. His sharing inspires and motivates the reader to step past the F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real) and remove the limiting beliefs that are holding most of us back from creating the life of our dreams. Even if you have the ability to step outside of your own world to see the possibilities and opportunities that are waiting for you, I would still highly suggest that you sign up for this Simon's newsletter, 'Notes from the Field.' http://www.sovereignman.com/

Humbly Yours,

Climbing the Mountain to Reach my Goals...

Wednesday, July 1, 2009

A couple of days ago, I had the privilege of accomplishing one of my first summer goals... climbing to the very top of the mountain that I have looked at every morning out my office window since September when I moved here. I am sure that on the grand scale it would be considered a small mountain; however after hibernating all winter behind a nice warm keyboard, it was a monumental task to say the least. My husband and I set out on our trek early on the bright sunny Sunday morning. Fashionably dressed in tank top, shorts and hiking boots, I was grateful to head out of site and into the woods. Even though the day prior I had hiked ¼ the way up the same mountain, with a couple of my children, I was determined to see where the rest of the trail would lead us. Since that part of our journey was 95% straight uphill… we decided it would be best to leave the children home. As Brad and I made it to the point where I had ended the day before, I could not help but feel my body disagree with my current decision to go further. My back started to hurt and my feet felt every degree of incline in our progress up the path to the top of the timbers. Even with spotting a couple of locations where Bears no longer lingered, we kept going…until, my husband said, “Stop.” In fear I ran closer to him wondering if he might have to use the can of bear spray on his hip, all the while thinking about the jokes of how its true purpose was to ‘pepper the meat’ before the bears had their dinner and that bear bells were really just ‘dinner bells.’ My husband very carefully leaned over and moved some ferns from their resting place onside of the mountain. As I was about to ask him what the heck he was looking at, he said, “I don’t believe it!” I was expecting the worst when he pointed to… a frog! A frog ½ way up the side of the mountain with no visible water around. Once my head slowed back to pre-bear-attack thinking, I was able to be shocked as well. Beyond all reason, there should be no water needing creatures in sight let alone a Frog!

Since my mind works in symbols and analogies, I could not help but compare my mountain climbing adventure to that of the adventure of creating Stock Harmony. The mountain that we are on… is the world markets, current business ethics & practices. Every piece of deadfall and root blocking the trail…are the obstacles that we have had to overcome to get to this point in our climb to launch Stock Harmony. The beautiful flowers and foliage along the way… are our friends who are offering kind advice and encouragement. The massive fallen trees that were now visibly becoming one with the earth… symbolized the corporations that once stood mighty and proud, only to be blown over by winds because their values (roots) were not strong enough to hold them in this economy. The bear droppings & stinging nettle… well, you guess that one… The 95% slope that we are climbing to get to the top is the hard work and dedication that it will take in order to achieve our intention. Two hours, two sunburns, sore knees, scraps, stings and uphill perseverance later, we were standing at the very top ridge of our mountain overlooking the entire valley and our house. Even though my body was not happy for the majority of our trip, I was extremely grateful that I did not give in…and I achieved what we set out to do.

Now I can look out my window every morning and think to myself, I did it, I made it to the very top! (of this peak)As I sat there in the moment, in wonder of our accomplishment, I took in the majesty around me and again reflected. …even though, we have climbed to the summit and pre-launched Stock Harmony, as I look around, there are even higher mountains to climb…but this trip has helped given me the prospective and strength that I will need, when I climb the other mountains that are waiting for us to get to the top of them as well.

The journey home helped me appreciate the other 5%..the 5% that had now become, my new uphill. Everything, which was previously uphill, had now become my downhill… and now my knees screamed at me every step of the way. Even though we saw that a bear had crossed our trail we thankfully never did cross his path! We made it home safely even after we misplaced the trail and got to climb over hectares of deadfall. (We even saw another frog!) This just helped reassure me that I was not in spry enough shape but it was also a good idea to withdraw my nomination to be on the television show ‘Man Tracker.’

As I gaze out my window this morning looking at the mountains before me, I am not only thankful for the obstacles in my life to that I have had climb up to this point…but for the ones that are yet to come… because I know that I CAN…and so can YOU!


Most Humbly,

Marcia
