It’s Independence Day in the US…

An important day to thank and appreciate all military personnel and people who help us stay free and safe. As a 1st generation American from parents who came from a country where things are not as easy… I know we are SO blessed to live in this amazing country where we can pretty much do whatever we want AND decide to reinvent ourselves whenever we choose.

Is there something you can choose to free yourself from today?

• Maybe a past experience or “failure”
• A low self-image or pattern of self-talk
• Someone in your life who doesn’t believe in your dreams and works hard to make sure you doubt yourself and your abilities (I affectionately call these types of people “dreamkillers” – Jeff & I both were able to free ourselves of people like this in our past)
• A self-imposed, self-destructive pattern (maybe eating fast food, not exercising, or procrastination)

These are all things you can CHOOSE to FREE yourself from… right now. Granted, some of them may take time to really change, but it doesn’t have to take that long… You do have a choice.

Whatever you decide to change and free yourself from… write it down clearly, keep it somewhere where you see it EVERY day (and sometimes you’ll want to change whatever sign you put up… because you’ll get acclimated to it and get “used” to it until you don’t “see” it anymore!) Whenever you find yourself falling back into old, self-destructive patterns, choose again… and again… and again…

Keep a journal of appreciation (not a negative diary!) chronicaling your small victories and celebrating your progress…

Change does not have to be difficult once you are aware of what you want to be free of…

A few things I’m SO happy and appreciative of freeing myself from:

• panic attacks
• friends and family who became dreamkillers in my life (I kept the supportive ones & made new wonderful friends)
• self-imposed limitations on what I could achieve

So celebrate today by giving yourself the best Independence Day gift and freeing yourself from something keeping you from a joyous Life, emotional, financial and mental Liberty and so you can continue your Pursuit of Happiness.

Your Financial Freedom Bill of Rights
1. You have the right to a fair exchange of energy. Abundance is energy and money is simply a tool to facilitate energy exchange.
2. You have the right to knowing the secrets of the wealthiest people in the world. No one can keep you from this knowledge.
3. You have the right to be inspired to live the life you deserve. You are not required, nor does the universe want you to live a life that meets the expectations of others.
4. You have the right to learn the biggest obstacles to becoming wealthy. And the simplest steps to make money.
5. You have the right to know why lack of money is never the problem. And how to identify what is really holding you back from pursuing the life of your dreams.
6. You have the right to create a life that will be a shining example to everyone around you. Your life can be an inspiration to the world.
7. You have the right to dream big and ignore negative people. If you can dream it, you can live it, and anyone who tells you different is just plain wrong.

It’s here… There are officially 25 shopping days until the Christmas Gift Giving holiday… We have a great tradition at my home in Texas. No gifts. We started this tradition years ago after one year, my cousin and I were frantically wrapped presents (everyone asked us to wrap theirs) and we almost missed Christmas dinner. We all realized as a family that we’d forgotten the real meaning of Christmas and one of those is spending quality time with loved ones celebrating the season. I stopped spending money on gifts that were just for the point of giving something.

I now give gifts that have meaning and purpose… for example, Jeff & I decided this year to give each other a year-long high level coaching program with a brilliant teacher and marketer that will end up costing us hundreds of thousands of dollars. It’s an investment in our own learning and growth and that’s the kind of gift we both want for ourselves and each other. Another thing we are giving ourselves (and the boys) is helping feed homebound seniors on Christmas Eve morning.
It’s well known in marketing that people will find a way to pay (with money or time)  for what’s important to them… they will forgo other things. That’s why you see people with fabulous cars or huge big screen televisions while they are living in squalor. Or people who have big dreams whiling away the evenings in front of mindless tv instead of working on their dreams…

What’s important to you..? Shopping for gifts that will be forgotten by January 1 or investing in your own learning (or your childrens) or giving time to people who will truly appreciate it?

That being said, I’ll get off my soapbox for a sec   & for those of you who will be buying presents (and I will be now that I’m in a home with two young boys!) check this out for free shipping coupons to over 1800 stores. Here’s to stimulating the economy and just being clear on knowing what’s important to you.

Wow! I’m in the middle of creating a video series with Jeff Herring about how business has transformed over the last 12 months… and I came across this video from last Fall… I am completely bowled over by the difference in video quality compared to the high definition videos I’m now producing!

The content of this video still applies though, it’s theTop Ten Ways People Disempower themselves (personally & professionally)!

When you;re done watching the video, I’d love to ask you to fill out a quick survey to help Jeff & I with our upcoming (high-definition, schmanty, information-packed and fun) video series…

Thank You in advance!

Here’s my Thanksgiving Gift video I created for my subscribers… It’s all about realizing that no on’es coming to save you and it’s up to each and every one of us to become your own hero! And no matter how many failures you’ve had in the past or how low you may feel at any particular time…

“With Each Failure Lies the Seed of an Equivalent Success” Napoleon Hill

It’s the story of how I picked myself back up after divorce and severe panic attacks wondering what I was going to do…

I learned to become my own best friend again and started doing weekly meeting in my city to help others conquer their fears and empower themselves…

and Harpo Inc ended up calling me for an interview and Oprah liked what I was doing so much that she asked me to mention one of my websites at the end of the interview! 

I didn’t have a website up for what I was doing at the time, but I did have a domain name.. so it flew out of my mouth and I had 6 weeks from the time of the Oprah interview til it actually aired.  So I knew this was a great opportunity!  I got it done and started doing telesminars at Our Law of Attraction Podcast, I made products out of them and began coaching my listeners to do the same!  And now I teach people to get their products out of their heads and turn them into reality!  (yes, that’s me on the horses and those are my Law of Attraction cartoons)
