Your beliefs create the world you live in and experience. If you wish to make any lasting change to a habit, pattern, repeating experience and so on, you do it at the fundamental level, at the level of belief. Affirmations are a great way, one way, to change beliefs.
"Your beliefs form your reality, your body and its condition, your personal relationships, your environment, and en masse your civilization and your world." Seth
In the creation of wealth, you require to ensure that you are clear and positive (allowing, not resisting and negating) in four key areas of wealth:
1. Earning (receiving)2. Spending (giving)3. Saving4. Investing
These are the four corners of wealth. The first two function like breathing, like your body's circulation system, or even like the weather pattern. In other words, money, just like breath and the rest of life, moves in cycles. In and out. Giving/receiving or earning/spending are two sides of the same coin. They both need to be healthy. Without circulation, the system dies.
The remaining two are what allows for growth in wealth. Saving represents many things. For one, it represents the fact that you value your future enough to save for it; you feel you have a future worth saving for. It also represents paying yourself first, valuing yourself. Instead of spending all the money you earn and leaving nothing for yourself, you spend some and keep some for yourself. By the way, you are not saving to buy consumables like a TV or a trip in future. No. You are saving to use that money to invest in yourself, and to have it make money for you. And this is where the final corner, investing, comes in. You invest so that the money you earned, at least part of it, is not forever lost in a spending spree. Instead, it remains with you and works on its own, without your further effort, to make more money for you. In other words, you work for the money (earn) and then stop, after which you allow the money to work for you and give you much more than you produced in the first place. That is the point of investing - having the money work for you and produce more of it than was originally, without you having to spend more effort. Investing is similar to nature's principle of creating more of itself effortlessly. Without this last step, it is very hard to become wealthy. Remember: Invest wisely.
Here are sample affirmations gathered for you from various sources (affirmations partly gathered from You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay and Rebirthing in the New Age by Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray). As you do the affirmations, notice how you feel about them. Then follow these feelings freely without resisting or manipulating them and see where they lead you (they will always lead you to the beliefs behind them).
Earning (receiving)
1. My income is constantly increasing2. I enjoy earning.3. I deserve to be wealthy.4. My job/business is one of the pipelines through which I tap the infinite wealth of the universe for my own desires.5. My personal connection to Infinite Being and Infinite Intelligence is enough to yield a huge personal fortune.6. People enjoy paying me for what I enjoy doing the most.7. Life always holds out as much goodness as I am willing to accept.8. I am enjoying creating value for the people that give me money.9. I have the right to give myself permission to become wealthy or do anything that I want.10. Each year, my money increases faster than I spend it.11. It takes less effort to be wealthy than it does to keep out the universal supply.12. Life rewards me with abundance.13. I deserve to be wealthy, rich, prosperous and affluent.14. I enjoy expressing my abundance.15. I don’t have to work to get money.
Spending (giving)
1. I spend money wisely.2. I always have more money than I need.3. I bless all my bills with love.4. I pay all my bills on time easily.5. I enjoy spending.6. My income now exceeds my expenses.7. Every dollar I spend comes back multiplied.8. The more willing I am to enrich others, the more willing others are to enrich me.9. I now have a positive personal cash flow.
Saving
1. I am worthy of having money in the bank.2. I am financially independent and solvent.3. I enjoy saving.4. A part of all that I earn is mine to keep.
Investing
1. I enjoy investing.2. I find investing to be relaxing, easy and safe.3. My income increases every day whether I am working, sleeping or playing.4. All my investments are profitable.5. I don’t have to work to get money.6. Part of all my profits goes into permanent wealth creation, capital and reserves.
You have many beliefs about money. Many of those beliefs are transparent to you (you do not consciously know you have them) and so they work behind the scenes producing results that seem to come from some external source (thus the idea of being a helpless victim of circumstances or chance). But you can bring them out of transparency and even change them. You can also discover your beliefs by asking yourself questions like:
- What did I learn about money as a child?- What is my biggest fear about money?- How did my family handle money?- How do I handle money?- Do I feel worthy of having and enjoying money?- What do I criticize and praise myself for regarding money?
It is of great help to have some kind of a guide as you go along making deep changes in your belief systems. It also helps greatly to keep records and measure your progress. The degree of guidance you can get varies greatly as well, and it is important to choose a guide that fits well with you yet moves you further than you imagine (this helps you see beyond your "fence"). With the advent of technology, we are now able to produce software that does a great job as a guide, thereby multiplying the ability of people to advance in these areas. One such software package is the Prova LifeTransformations, Healing and Empowerment software package for Microsoft Windows, available from www.imagesofone.com. Whatever you choose to use, remember always that change proceeds from willingness to change, and that is all that is required to initiate it. How easy is that!

By Dr. Jeffrey Lant
When I started in MLM over 20 years ago recruiting,training, and selling were arduous. You had to dothings like hold regular meetings (the motel rooms alwayssmelled), use "warm" marketing to recruit family andfriends, even mail out expensive audio cassettes inpackages which often cost up to $10 each. Yikes!
But, mama, things are sure different today!
Today you can work 100% from home and easily reachall your prospects and distributors online -- allthanks to the magic of webcasting. It's a whole --and more profitable -- world out there, and it'stime you were benefiting from it!
What's Webcasting Anyway?
With webcasting
* speak live to up to 150 people at a time withoutyour guests ever having to download software or payone red cent to attend. Just think what this will dofor your recruiting and training.
* in addition to live meetings, you can also record each and every meeting, so that people who cannot attend willNEVER miss your valuable messages.
* you can post recorded messages in an area wherepeople can access them for free -- or for a fee, howeveryou like. When you've finished recording, eachprogram gets a link. This link can be used in yourstationery file, in newsletters, on your website, wherever you want to post it! To get your message,people just click on the link. This gives your importantmessages real impact and longevity.
Want to talk LIVE to a prospect or distributor?If the person you wish to speak to has a webcam (verycommon these days), you can bring her on screen andtalk face-to-face. If this person doesn't have awebcam, no problem. He can type in his remarksand question; you can respond live on screen!
Use Audio, Too!
Having a "bad hair day"? Still want to get an importantmessage out to the independent distributors in yourorganization or prospects you want to close? No problem!
Record in your pj's -- no one will ever know. Recordmessages of any length. When you're finished you'llget a link you can post anywhere you like -- for instanceemailing out to every single person you want to hearwhat you've said.

What It Means To Be Good
By SuccessNet Michael Angier Date Created: 15-Jun-05
Someone asked me awhile ago what I was really good at. Half kidding, I responded, "Starting over!"
The reason I was only HALF kidding is because I am very familiar with starting over. I've started over in business. I've started over in marriage. I've started over financially and in my career.
And unless you live a spectacularly blissful life, at some point—usually many points—in your life, you'll need to start over, too.
We all do—in big things and in small.
A project gets delayed or terminated. We get laid off, downsized, right-sized or repurposed. We go off our diet or our exercise program. Hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, cancer, the flu—all sorts of catastrophes and inconveniences can thwart or stop our forward progress—sometimes sending us all the way back to the starting line.
But you can't let it stop you. To be successful you must become and remain resilient.
Hardly anything goes the way we hope or plan that it will. I'm not being negative here; I'm being realistic. Setbacks, roadblocks and disappointments are just part of the natural ebb and flow of life.
I remember speaking with a young investor a few years ago who was perplexed that the stock market went down. As long as he'd been investing, he had only seen it go up. When the bull turned into a bear, it soured him on the whole thing, and he got out of the market. I bet he wished he'd stayed in now.
Getting upset, frustrated or quitting in the face of difficulty doesn't work and is usually indicative of immaturity, a poor attitude or both.
Every day is a new day. And it's a good thing because it's another opportunity to start over again every day. It matters little what's happened. But it matters a LOT what we do now.
Where most people get in trouble is they lament having to start over. They use up valuable energy being angry and thinking and talking about how unfair it all is. It's a waste of energy and only detracts from their ability to get on with things.
Picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and starting fresh is the hallmark of a successful person.
What about you? Where have you gotten off track? Where do you need to start in again, recommit and plod ahead? It doesn't mean we do it in the same way. It means we learn from what we've done, adjust and move on.
My research of successful people has taught me that they are not people who had it easy. In fact, they had it harder than most. But they were resilient. They grew stronger and wiser. They stayed the course, and they won out because of their persistence.
And so can you.
Jim Rohn says, "Don't ask for things to be easier; ask for you to get better."
And starting over isn't always a bad thing. It often can lead to things we would not have found had we continued on in the same mode.
It's not always fun and it's rarely an easy thing to do. But it IS necessary in order to achieve what's truly important to us.

Getting Over The Fear An On With Your Life
DirectMoneyNow.com's Home Business Report
- Tuesday, May 1, 2007
Publisher: Ephran Price
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By Chris Widener
I have worked with thousands of people through the years and written for millions of others, many who have written to me for advice and the like. One of the things that I have found to be common in so many people is fear. Fear is something that cripples people and keeps them from pursuing and reaching their dreams. This does not have to be so! I truly believe that a person does not have to have fear in their life. I can honestly say that I do not have any fear in my life. Now, I am not perfect by any means but fear is not something I have because I have dealt with it.
The main reason I do not have fear is because I have come to grips with the concepts surrounding fear. I have understood fear, primarily from two angles. The first angle is psychologically and the second angle is theologically. You see, I think that if we address the issues of life and the fears we experience from both a good understanding of psychology and theology, then I believe we can be free from fear.
Psychology is the study of the mind and that is where most of our fears take place. Theology is the understanding of God and the world we live in as it relates to God and what takes place in this world. I know from personal experience, that as we settle just a few basic issues, we can be free from fear. A few weeks ago I spoke to a group on fear and here are a few of the insights I gave them on how they can get over their fears and get on with their lives. Look and see how each one of these principles fits either psychology or theology.
Disciplining your thoughts.
Fear is an action of the mind. Fear is a use, or better said, misuse, of the imagination. In reality, when you fear something, you are simply choosing to imagine a future happening. You are fearful that your spouse will divorce you (future), or that the snake will bite you (future it hasn t yet), or that you will lose your job (future you still have it). So when we fear, we are simply letting our minds imagine a bad future. That is what fear is! Imagining a bad future. So what is the answer?
Well, there are two things you can do. One would be to imagine a good future. The other would be to stop thinking about the future and just take one day at a time. If you are a fearful person, either one of these would be preferable to living in the prison you currently live in. The principle remains true in that we have to discipline our minds and choose not to think about a bad future. We can do that. We can choose our thoughts. It just takes discipline.
Accepting the realities of life.
Much of what people fear are the realities of life. Some may think this cold, but people die, people lose jobs, people choose to do crazy things in relationships etc. There is nothing you can do about that. Period. For example, I know many fearful mothers who won t let their children play in the front yard because they are afraid the kids will get kidnapped. Now, what should they do? Do everything they can to make it safe and then let their kids play in the front yard! Some people are afraid they will go bankrupt or broke and worry endlessly about it. What should they do? Work hard, save, invest and live life. Could someone get kidnapped? Yes. Could you go bankrupt? Yes. These things happen and all you can do is work to make your life what it can be and accept that sometimes things happen, even tragic things. If they happen, you experience the pain and emotion then there is no sense forcing yourself to experience it before it happens IF it happens! This is a mental adjustment that we make that enables us to get over fear.
Give yourself good information.
Much of what we fear is irrational and not based on good information. For example, someone afraid of snakes will scream when they see a gardener snake, even though the reality is that there is absolutely nothing that snake can do to them! Take the time to educate yourself about whatever it is you fear and see if that doesn t help you gain the mental edge you need.
Taking control only of those things you can control.
There are things you can control and things you can t. Much of what we fear is out of our hands and we can t control it. You can t control if your spouse leaves you. You can control how you treat your spouse. You can t control a downturn in the economy. You can control whether you save for a rainy day or not. You can t control whether or not you will get a fatal disease. You can control whether you eat right and exercise. You can t control how your kids will turn out. You can control how you raise them, what kind of example you set, and what you teach them. You can t control how others will treat you. You can control how you will treat others. Control what you can control, and let go of the rest.
These are some basic points that I use to shape my heart and mind so that I don t have to spend my life in fear. There are a few others as well, I am sure, and many you probably use yourself, but for now, this should be enough to chew on. Getting over fear is an issue of the mind and the spirit and, believe me, the battle over fear can be won!

For example, I know many fearful mothers who won t let their children play in the front yard because they are afraid the kids will get kidnapped. Now, what should they do? Do everything they can to make it safe and then let their kids play in the front yard! Some people are afraid they will go bankrupt or broke and worry endlessly about it. What should they do? Work hard, save, invest and live life. Could someone get kidnapped? Yes. Could you go bankrupt? Yes. These things happen and all you can do is work to make your life what it can be and accept that sometimes things happen, even tragic things. If they happen, you experience the pain and emotion then there is no sense forcing yourself to experience it before it happens IF it happens! This is a mental adjustment that we make that enables us to get over fear.
Give yourself good information.
Much of what we fear is irrational and not based on good information. For example, someone afraid of snakes will scream when they see a gardener snake, even though the reality is that there is absolutely nothing that snake can do to them! Take the time to educate yourself about whatever it is you fear and see if that doesn t help you gain the mental edge you need.
Taking control only of those things you can control.
There are things you can control and things you can t. Much of what we fear is out of our hands and we can t control it. You can t control if your spouse leaves you. You can control how you treat your spouse. You can t control a downturn in the economy. You can control whether you save for a rainy day or not. You can t control whether or not you will get a fatal disease. You can control whether you eat right and exercise. You can t control how your kids will turn out. You can control how you raise them, what kind of example you set, and what you teach them. You can t control how others will treat you. You can control how you will treat others. Control what you can control, and let go of the rest.
These are some basic points that I use to shape my heart and mind so that I don t have to spend my life in fear. There are a few others as well, I am sure, and many you probably use yourself, but for now, this should be enough to chew on. Getting over fear is an issue of the mind and the spirit and, believe me, the battle over fear can be won!
