We all have ….the trick is knowing how to deal with them. In this Podcast, I want to share some ideas you can use to identify and eliminate Energy Vampires from infecting your consciousness.

Listen to this podcast and I will reveal the three ways you can identify an Energy Vampire and then I will show you what to do to eliminate them!

Your priority must be to live a life on purpose that leads to fulfillment and happiness. This can only happen when you are growing. To grow you need to monitor and manage your energy levels and the people around you.

Back then, most houses were surrounded by walls, almost like large fences. So the girls could go outside but were not allowed outside of these walls. Naturally, they became very curious as to what the world was like on the other side of the walls.

Thus, the Korean seesaw was born….

Children would place a thick board on top of a straw bag or a log for support somewhere in their yard. Then, two people would stand on either side of the board, and going back and forth, they’d take turns jumping.

Every time they were propelled into the air, they could catch a glimpse of the world beyond the walls.

Click here to see just how high they could jump.

Amazing, isn’t it?

But look closely.
Someone has to push down on one side for the other person to see the outside world.
There’s no way to seesaw like this on your own.

I share this analogy with you, because it demonstrates an important point. To achieve anything really worthwhile requires the support of enough good people. Make it your policy to help others to obtain their goals and reach new heights by pushing down on your side of the seesaw, and you’ll see that based on the law of reciprocity they will do the same for you. This may not happen with each and every person you help and that is fine; but more often than not this law will be respected.

This happens to be one of my favorite movies of all time.
The message is simple and often not fully appreciated.

Have you ever had a dream that you did not protect or talk yourself out of?

Being successful in life and business is a decision – it has nothing to do with fate or your destiny. It has everything to do with being clear about what you want and what you plan to give in very definite terms to get it. Many people in life go through the process of living in an automated way. Some never take the time to figure out exactly who they want to be, and what they plan to do, so they can have what they really want.

When you “want something in life …go get it period.”

Watch this clip and then watch the movie… even if you have seen it before (great learning lessons can be found here and if applied can make all the difference in the world).

PS: Provide your name and email and I can let you know when I have new blog post that makes you think.

Whether you are working with your employees, your children, a group of peers or even when working with yourself – expectations drive performance. Rarely do people rise higher than the expectations placed upon them. (Even if those expectations are self-imposed.)

Start this day by reviewing your expectations of yourself. Then review the expectations you have for the individuals you lead. Have you settled for mediocrity in your personal performance? Have you settled for mediocrity from the people you lead?

Raise your expectations, and always remember to express confidence in people’s ability to achieve greatness and deliver the extraordinary.

I just got back from the Bob Proctor 2008 cruise to the Caribbean. I had an incredible time and experienced something very special which is the subject of my blog post today.

One year ago I was on the Bob Proctor cruise when we went to the Mexican Riviera, and as I sat in the first row absorbing everything that was taught I said to myself that -next year I would speak on stage while on the cruise-. This idea made its way from my conscious mind to my sub conscious mind. As I emotionalized this concept, I began to attract the people and resources needed to make my wish come true. I acquired specialized knowledge and followed Universal Law and 1 week before leaving for this cruise an opportunity surfaced to help Steve Siebold with a demo speech to show case how presentation skills can drastically impact a message even using the same words.

Steve and Dawn Siebold are amazing people and I am very grateful for the time they invested in me to prepare this short clip and the continued coaching I receive from them. If you have a dream to speak professionally please visit their website: www.speechworkshop.com and tell them I sent you.
