laserworldHey,

You know I’m just such a soppy thing sometimes, especially when it comes to animals.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that I’m vegan because I just can’t possibly think of eating them just to saitisfy my tastebuds. And truth is I feel darn healthy and have been told I look fantastic – I am 46 in about 45 days and stilll wear the same size from 20 years ago.

But actually I just wanted to show you this lovely video.

Don’t you think it’s gorgeous too?

And while we’re on the subject let’s talk about Louis Armstrong who was a man that came from a poor background in an era where racism was acceptable. Loius had to enter through the back door to come and play for the people who were eager to hear his music. Miles Davis revealed the same treatment in his autobigraphy.

Even though he had all odds stacked against him he became a world star. Every where in the world every one knew who Satchmo was. He put his heart into his music.

Here’s the same wonderful world video again but this time minus bambi. Check out Loui’s face, you can see with what passion he is singing.

So the point is if you dream it and take action you can do it. Louis didn’t just dream about playing the trumpet and singing songs. He picked up his trumpet and blew into it. He sang songs. He was unstoppable.  He was authentic down to the last DNA cell in his body.

You and me we can make more of ourselves. Every day is another start, another opportunity.

Sadly most people have been misguided, given false information.

Take a talented kid that loves drawing and painting. He wants to become an artist. At home and at school he is told, “Don’t be ridiculous, you’ll never make a living like that. Who do you think you are anyway? Picasso?” So the kid forgets about his paintbox and struggles through school forcing formulas into his brain that he couldn’t care less about. He lands up with a hum drum job, earning enough so he can uphold the status quo of the system. A cog in the machine.

Truth be said, Picassos painting wasn’t THAT marvellous – that’s why so many envious people said, “I don’t get it, this guy is earning millions and my 4 year old could scribble that together.” Well that’s it – they just don’t get it. Having a passion and giving up your need to always be right about everything goes a long way. Picasso felt he derserved millions – he really wasn’t hung up about it.

If you haven’t already read Stuart Lichtman’s Book – How to make money for anything fast – you are missing out. I know the title seems so how can i say? Cheesy? – but watch out because inside is a whole course on coming to terms with where you are now, who you really are, and a plan to overcome all the excuses and bullshit that is the way. It’s excellent, at least be brave enough to sign up for the FREE Mini Course.



money_grabberSeth Godin talks about get rich fast schemes for people who want to get rich fast.

It is true these poor people buy into every scheme possible, borrowing money from relatives because they believe this will the next big thing that will teach them how to get rich fast quickly.

I’m amazed that people can be so gullible. My logic tells me you can’t get rich, let alone get rich fast by stuffing envelopes or wiring jewellery together. Common. There is manual work involed in that. Not for me – I’m far too lazy. Besides I already know that is trading time for dollars and that does not insure instant riches.

But I’ll admit when I first heard about the Science of Getting Rich and The Secret I was so yippy skippy that I sat down and visualised till the cows came home. I got clear on what i wanted. I felt myself being rich. Nothing happened. nada.

The point is you have to take action of some kind. I knew that stuffing envelopes was not for me but I did know being rich is very much for me.

Even though I knew in my heart I had to do something – I was’t sure what I had to do to get the ball rolling. Due to me not wanting to do not do any menial job because inside of me I knew that I din’t coem here to just be a cog in the machine – uphold the system. I’ve always felt too special – so I guess a kind of procrastination had set in which kept me dreaming but poor.

One day I had stumbled across something that had the cheesy title, “How to Get Lots Of Money for Anything Fast“. I thought to myself no, not another scheme, yet I couldn’t help reading the long sales letter and getting more convinced than ever before that I really needed this How to Get Lots of Money Fast Ebook. Besides it had all these testimonials be people like Jack Canefield, you know the author of  Chicken Soup for the Soul. And David Garfinkel the author of eBook Secrets Exposed. I thought to myself if these guys that are obviously rich and recommending this book then I MUST get this too.

I’ll admit the book has visualisation stufff in it. It went even further into me visualising actually doing something. It even had me visualing measuring my success! It had me take such a deep look at what was causing my inaction and fear that I was able to get into real productive action.

The productive action then began bringing in finacial rewards and I was having fun doing it!

Seth Godin is so right when he says it seems as though some people are just opportunity seekers and not oppoertunity finders.

Don’t get caught up in sales letters that promise to make you get rich fast by doing measly jobs. Take action on your dreams. One step a day goes a long way.
