The 48 Laws of Power - Lesson 1

There is a book written by Robert Greene copyright 1998 titled the 48 Laws of Power.  This book opens up the mind to a set of behaviors that can benefit most people with navigating through life.  I will attempt to provide each law with a bit of clarity so that it is easily understood and applied.

LAW 1: Never Outshine the Master:  

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior.   Make sure your masters (superiors or managers) appear more brilliant than they  are  and you will attain the heights of power.  This law has two rules that are at work.  First you can inadvertently outshine a master simply by being yourself.  Some people are very insecure and others you may naturally outshine just by your own charm and grace.   Be very careful to see people as they are and just because the master, supervisor, manager, etc. likes you does not mean you can do whatever you want.

You cannot worry about upsetting everyone you meet.  If your superior is a falling star there is nothing to fear by outshining  him/her.  Do not risk outshining a feeble superior - it might appear cruel or spiteful.  But if your master is firm in their position, yet you know yourself to be the more capable, bide your time and be patient.  It is the natural course of things that power eventually fades and weakens. 

Your Journey Starts with WHY?

In the past few months it has become ever present in my life that personal development is key to any relationship, career, organization,work experience, marketing strategy, business plan or anything else we decide to do.  

It is this crucial element that allows us to walk into a seminar and actually "hear" it.  Or to speak to a friend, relative or associate and "listen" to them.  So many times our own issues cloud what we hear, how we speak and how we interact in our own lives.  

Personal Development is about being the best "YOU" that "You" can be.  It is about understanding who we are as mothers, wives, fathers, brothers, sisters and everything else.  I have found that it is almost impossible to love anyone else until you learn to love and  embrace yourself.  I am not saying that we have to be happy with every aspect of ourselves but we must love who we are first and then we make the changes we want to make to ourselves.  

What journey are you on in your Life, Career, Family?  Do you like where you are in your life?  Have you ever wondered why things remain the same no matter what you do?  If any of this sounds familiar then you are ready to open up your mind to expand your mindset to embrace the next phase in your personal development journey.  

I want to help you no matter where you are in life and show you how to gain personal wealth as well as spiritual wealth.  Someone once told me that when your WHY gets bigger your HOW gets easier. Which means once you know what direction you want to go in life, getting there is the easy part. Complete clarity of mind, body and spirit is the best way to focus on what you want out of life and begin to take the steps to make it happen.

What your personality says about your ability to get rich!

Hi There,

Do you sock away pennies like a squirrel hoarding nuts for the winter?

Or do you subscribe to the "you can't take it with you" philosophy of money management and spend it as fast as you get it?

Or do you prefer the "ostrich" approach ... figuring what you don't know about your finances can't hurt you?

Turns out these common ways of "doing" money aren't just quirks. They're huge predictors of how wealthy you'll be.

comF5 (R) - White Paper - Personalized Video Messaging

We are visual creatures. Have you ever been misunderstood in a text  
email or couldn’t articulate or get your point across? Have you have
wished you could simply show someone what you were talking about
rather than try and explain it with text email?
Numerous studies show that video communicates better than text and
graphics alone. People often say that “a picture is worth a thousand
words.” Well, video is even better.

In the life-cycle process of online marketing and promotion, the
personalized video messaging system is used throughout to increase
exposure, create engagement and enchant your customers. Used
properly with the other components of the eMarketEngine, the
personalized video messaging system will generate significant results
and guarantee your success.

What is personalized video messaging?

Personalized video messaging is simply having the ability to add media,
including audio or video, into an email message. People would rather watch than read, and people would rather talk than type. Video messaging allows you to better communicate with prospects and customers which in turn build better relationships. Customers will feel more confident and trustworthy in you if they can put a “face” behind cold text and webpages.

Learn How to Deal with Change - Who Moved My Cheese? Spencer Johnson, MD

It is 2011 and the world has changed. The economy has been in a recession for the past 3 years with little to no improving. More people are finding out that their 9 to 5 job they thought they could retire in, is no longer enough.  Car manufactures are shutting down, newspaper subscriptions are at an all time low and the banking and real estate industry has become less than desirable. 

Technology has gone digital, the classifieds have been replaced by Career Builder, Craigslist and Monster.com.  The internet has become the new TV and movies are all in 3- D. Your job changes, people change, your home changes and so does your finances. There is so much going on in our lives and our communities that we need to learn how to deal with all the changes around us. Change is not easy, but necessary when the time comes.

Who Moved My Cheese? (1988), Spencer Johnson, MD, is a simple parable that reveals profound truths about change.  It is an amusing and enlightening story of four characters who live in a "Maze" and look for "Cheese" to nourish them and make them happy. 

"Cheese" is a metaphor for what you want to have in life - whether it is a good job, a loving relationship, money, a possession, health, or spiritual peace of mind. The "Maze" is where you look for what you want - the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in.  A must read for everyone. 

Words to live by:

1. Change Happens - They Keep Moving the Cheese
2. Anticipate Change - Get Ready for the Cheese to Move
3. Monitor Change - Smell the Cheese Often so You Know When It is Getting Old
4. Adapt to Change Quickly - The Quicker You Let Go of Old Cheese, The Sooner You Can Enjoy New Cheese
5. Change - Move with the Cheese
6. Enjoy Change! - Savor the Adventure and the Taste of New Cheese!
7. Be Ready to Quickly Change Again and Again  - They Keep Moving the Cheese

If everyone knew The Secret, it wouldn't be a secret anymore

The book The Secret came out a few years ago written by Rhonda Byrne. This book possessed answers for the people who were ready to receive them and frustration to those who weren't. I happen to be one of those people who needed to hear exactly what was being said.

In a conversation I had today, I was reminded about some of the basic principles of attraction. By the very strength of our minds we create our destiny. Individuals have the power to attract things to them. Bob Proctor said it best, "Everything that is coming into your life you are attracting into your life. And it's attracted to you by virtue of the images you're holding in your mind. It's what you're thinking. whatever is going on in your mind you are attracting to you." (The Secret, 2006)

Why do you think that 1% of the population earns around 96 percent of all the money that's being earned? Do you think that's an accident? Its designed that way. They understand something. They understand The Secret, and now you must begin to shift your conscious mind and awareness so you can understand it to.

The Secret is just one book that teaches these principles. One of my personal favorites is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Napoleon Hill spoke to many wealthy people who articulated some basic reasons they were wealthy and others were not. Think and Grow Rich covers the Power of Thought, Desire, Faith, Autosuggestion, (Influencing the subconscious mind), Specialized Knowledge, Imagination and much much more. If this book is not in your home or office and you have not read it at least 2 times go get it, read it and continue to refer to it.

I bring up these books because, most of the people I know are in a battle with themselves. They want to go from poverty to wealth but can't seem to do it. Something "Always" gets in the way. We find ourselves circling the same old situations that never seem to improve. Well, here's the key, change your mind and you will improve your situation. Believe that you have the power to alter the course your life is going then take the steps to do it. The kind of changes I am suggesting don't just happen over night, but they do happen. The longest journey starts with a single step. Make today the day we take our first step and continue taking them until there are no more steps to take.

One last food for thought, another book to read is Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth Another one to keep and read over and over. If more people read these 3 books and truly understood how to effectively utilize them in their lives we could begin to get rid of poverty. Think about it...how many people do you know who identify themselves by their struggle, their job loss, sickness, The "Man"? How many times have we helped these people just for them to repeat the same negative unproductive behavior. There is a reason some people are in the situations they are in and it doesn't have anything to do with money, education, or opportunities. Take it from me, I used to try to save everyone until I realized not everyone wants to be saved.

Tempus Neminem Manet - Time Waits For No One!

Limitations

There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.  Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought. - Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Fear No Evil

I will fear no evil, for thou art with me...Psalm 23:4
No Matter what is going on in your life Do Not Fear.  Things seem harder when we do not have faith in the Creator. Do not fear what people say, Do not fear what people do, Do not fear your boss or the employees, Do not fear your job or the economy.  For we can do all things through Him and if he be for us, who can be against us (paraphrased).  Do not fear disapproval, Do not fear judgment or darkness or divorce. Believe and walk in the power of the Creator and all things are possible.

Just take one day at a time. Be thankful for what you have and make the most of everyday.
