Or... never give up on your dreams. Paul Potts, a 30 something British cellphone salesman had up to this point kept his singing voice mostly to himself a few others. By a simple flip of the coin (if I remember correctly from his NPR interview a few weeks ago) he decided to go try out on England's TV show Britian's Got Talent. (England's version of America's Got Talent). Now he's living his dream as an opera singer.
Go here to see his first round audition on TV Paul Potts on Britian's Got Talent
Careful, you might get all misty-eyed ;-)
Now if you think this was all a bunch of media manipulation then check out this person's lengthly commentary on the whole thing Is it all a bunchof hooey - a charade that falsely elicits one's true emotions?

DOMAIN NAME SEARCHES ***WARNING****
****WARNING****
All is not well or fair in the Internet arena - Big surprise, right?
Sites such as Ulrarpm and metapredict will screw you over and steal any domain names you don't IMMEDIATELY snatch up. I don't know HOW they are doing it, but let's just say that if you are an entrepreneur, and are looking for a particular domain name and do a search at any registrar out there and it shows it's available and you don't grab it right then and there, don't be surprised if one of those companies above or similar doesn't own it the next day and have it 'parked' like some opportunistic squatter wanting $100000s for a $5 name.
I always suspected this was the case, but now I see it's for real. Someone is feeding a list of search requests or selling them or whatever, to these people who can then decide if it's a good sounding name and then take it for themselves. This is called domain kiting - - like kiting a check. Apparently there's a 5 day grace period with domains and what this company and others like it do is grab all of these domains, toss up a parked site and see what sort of traffic comes to see it's potential value.
Too bad most of us don't realize this goes on. So here I am trying to notify the masses.
I know I may sound like I'm whining, but what I'm trying to do is make everyone AWARE that the playing field isn't level and if you are someone who needs domain names, then be very careful when you go search and be ready to buy then and there or you can expect it to be gone tomorrow.
Think I'm crazy? Check out these links Domain Stealing
and this site - metapredict/Ultrarpm should be brought down and beaten senseless Registering 100,000s of thousands of domain names daily turning the internet into a giant empty parking lot

Cookie Monster forced to sell out years ago.
OK, to keep in line with the theme of this blog, I'll start off by saying I'm thankful for remembering Cookie Monster from Sesame Street back when he just ate cookies.
Unless their parents tell them or they happen to see old reruns, kids these days have been gipped by the Political Correctness and Accountability movements. Although I myself haven't seen it in person (I'd rather hold on to the memories of how he used to be), Cookie Monster has to eat other 'healthy for humans' foods like veggies... and sing the cookie is a sometimes food song... UGH!
Let's think about this, Cookie Monster doesn't need health foods. He's a monster (or a muppet with a guy's hand up his ass). I'll stick with, he's a monster.... A monster who eats cookies - preferrably chocolate chip cookies that are large, stale, and have a high crumble factor. Poor ol' Cookie Monster needed those big plates of cookies due not to his high metabolism, but rather his horribly messy and inefficient eating habit. If he got 10% of a cookie down the hatch, he was doing good. Most of them ended up on the floor, which explains why you never saw cookie monster doing ads for diabetes medication or weight watchers.
I'd talk about the Count and how a dream I had in my teens scarred me for life, but that's not appropriate for this blog so you'll just have to wonder :-P

The Prophets Conference Los Angeles november 9-12
It's not too late to attend this amazing event!!
MANIFESTING A RICH LIFE
The Prophets Conference Los Angeles
November 9-12
Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City
The Premier Conference Event of The Year
The Manifesting A Rich Life Conference taking place in Los Angeles in
November will be one of the best if not the best conference we have
presented over the last 10 years. This will be the Premier Event Of The
Year, bringing you timely information you can use, along with a fresh
group of today’s hottest presenters. This is more than recycling the same
presenters with the same familiar teachings. This is new and passionate.
Opening up this special weekend to all of the aspects of living richly,
including the richness of right livelihood, financial wellbeing, loving
relationships, radiant health, gracious aging, and living in the present
moment, tools are being crafted for you to use in creating richness in
every aspect of your life.
"There is nothing quite as wonderful as money," sings Monty Python's
Flying Circus. "There is nothing quite as beautiful as cash...” We all
seem to want to have more money. As we create a new story of our
spiritual and material lives coming together in harmony, the real art is
in discovering our true essence and aligning with the source of creation
from which all manifestation unfolds. This is true wealth and opens us to
all possibilities.
This conference is designed to help you get a grasp on your possibilities
and make them real.
Rick Jarow, Ph.D., one the amazing faculty members coming together at the
Manifesting A Rich Life Los Angeles Prophets Conference, teaches us that
we can live a spiritual life while being fully engaged in the material
world.
“Be grateful you are alive under the blue sky, receive every gift that is
given to you. Manifestation is not about getting everything you want--it
means that you open yourself to the fullest extent of your love and
creativity. Then miracles happen.” – Rick Jarow
- So, how do you ignite your spirit, bust out of your box, call upon your
imagination, and awaken to new heights of passion and creativity?
- What are you passionate about?
- How do you really get your mind around and assimilate the fact that your
life is rich with opportunity?
- How do you go about upsizing your life?
- How do you get past the anxieties and jolts that worry you, especially
if you’re living paycheck to paycheck?
- How do you create right livelihood - doing something for a living that
has heart and meaning for you and is of benefit to others?
- How do you move into a life of ease and grace?
- How do you gain traction in moving from things unwanted to things
wanted?
- How does your personal Manifesting A Rich Life work for the betterment
of others and the planet?
These are some of the questions that will come up during the conference.
Many delegates will find this to be a turning point in their quest for
happiness and fullness of life. Many will learn the process of happiness
allowing them to leave behind the anxieties and frustrations of life.
This is the time and place to meet others on similar paths as yours, and
develop a support network of new friends.
Let’s take a quick look at the luminaries who will be there for you.

The Secret to Success - Do Work You Love
The secret to success is to do work you love. So do you love your work? Many individuals do work as a means to an end. Now, fundamentally there is nothing wrong with honest labour except this - whatever you do you are exchanging your life for it. In other words, if you do not enjoy your work you are literally living in a prison - one which you have created for yourself.
"The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life."
Charles M Schwab
It is not a coincidence that many of the world's richest people love what they do so much that they don't see it as work at all. There are others who make vast sums of money but they don't enjoy what they do. They are stressed out and often burnt out. Many end up drinking excessively and or taking drugs. Some, tragically, take their own life.
If you don't enjoy your work you are not fulfilling your purpose in life. Life will always seem like an uphill battle.
"The work of your life is to discover your purpose and get on with the business of living it out."
Oprah Winfrey
When Oprah started out she was not what was considered typical talk-show host material. Today, she is setting the standards for the industry plus it has made her a billionaire.
It is sheer folly to put off doing work you love because tomorrow is promised to no one. If you ask someone what prevents them from doing work they are passionate about a typical response is "I've got bills to pay."
People often believe that they can't make money doing what they love. However, the chances are that, whatever you come up with, someone, somewhere is doing it and making a lot of money in the process. If they can succeed in that line of work so can you. To think otherwise is a self-imposed limitation. All you have to do to succeed is to model (an NLP technique) the person who is, or even has been, successful in the area that interests you.
No doubt someone will tell me that they don't know of anyone who does 'x'. In that case, think laterally:
• What industry is similar to 'x'?
• What are the lessons from that industry that you can apply to your situation?
This works because very often what is a success strategy in one industry can be a success strategy in another industry. It can even provide you with a competitive edge. You may have to make some minor modifications but why re-invent the wheel when you don't have to?
So if you are in a deadbeat, dead-end, boring, frustrating, soul-destroying (am I hitting home yet?), "just over broke" job make a plan today to quit.
"Your chances of success are directly proportional to the degree of pleasure you desire from what you do. If you are in a job you hate, face the fact squarely and get out."
Michael Korda
Please note I did not say quit today. That would be irresponsible and for many would be a recipe for disaster, although many individuals have taken this approach and because their desire to succeed in their chosen endeavour was so strong they have been hugely successful. With planning and dedication you too can make a successful transition from working from pay cheque to pay cheque because you have to pay the bills to doing something you find rewarding, exciting, inspiring and challenging and still have your needs met.
Are you ready to take the plunge? Yes, here are a few simple steps that will enable you to transform your life:
1. Decide what it is you really want to do. What would make you leap out of bed in the morning?
2. Evaluate whether or not this is something you can start initially on a part-time basis until it generates sufficient income for sustain your desired lifestyle.
3. Set a date by which you want to be doing the work you love on a 'full-time' basis and by this I don't mean 24/7.
4. Commit to making your career a success. Remember, when you commit to something you close off the prospect of failure.
5. Do work you love; love the work you do and be a great success to boot!

THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF: THE SCIENCE OF HOW WE CREATE OUR LIVES
by Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.
A child walks across hot coals. A woman lifts a car to save her trapped
child. Congregants of the Free Pentecostal Holiness Church drink toxic
doses of strychnine during exultation without harmful effects. We can
walk on fire, drink poison and lift a thousand pounds. Yet, we have fallen
victim to the myth that we are vulnerable and frail organisms whose
limitations are programmed in the genes.
Facing crises in health, home and heart, to survive we must recover the
true powers with which we were endowed. The path toward self-empowerment
is now offered by leading edge science that is synthesizing a grand
convergence of the Body-Mind-Spirit trinity. A renaissance in cellular
biology has now described the nature of the communication channels linking
the mind and the body. This new science reveals how our thoughts,
attitudes and beliefs control our abilities and create the experiences of
our lives.
Research scientist and author Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., introduces this
long-awaited paradigm shift in an illustrated and animated lecture that
will take you on a fast paced journey from the microcosm of the cell to
the macrocosm of the mind. Experience the amazing discoveries of how
childhood programming and our “learned” perceptions control behavior,
regulate gene expression and even contribute to the rewriting of our
genetic code.
Based upon his bestselling book, “The Biology of Belief”, Bruce provides a
solid scientific foundation for creative properties attributed to the
“Power of Positive Thinking” and “The Laws of Attraction.” More
importantly, the awareness he offers reveals why and how we unconsciously
sabotage our deepest desires for health, happiness and prosperity. This
information will inspire your spirit, engage your mind and challenge your
creativity, as you comprehend the enormous potential for applying this
science in your life and in your profession.
"I have learned to think of everything I see as having an
energetic template that makes it appear as it does in
the physical. When I want to change something in my life,
I start with changing my energy. I do that by changing
my belief about it and the emotions that I associate with
it. It might sound crazy but it works every time. That
is what the Law of Attraction is all about."
-Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.
BIO: BRUCE H. LIPTON, PH.D., the bestselling author of “The Biology of
Belief”, is a cellular biologist, and former medical school professor.
His pioneering research on cloned stem cells at Wisconsin’s and Stanford’s

Desktop recording software for Mac users
I'm currently involved in using web 2.0 marketing for my shaklee business and my SGR program promotion/sharing.
Most of us out there are on PCs, but not me - a die hard MAC user and sometimes we pay the price with some software not being free or available.
Well, for those of you who, like me are only happy using MAC OS X, and want a great and inexpensive desktop recording program, check out "I Show You" by shiny white box dot com
What this program does is allow you to record what you see on your desktop or any customized area of your desktop while also recording audio... you can then save it as a quicktime movie for example and import it into imovie or other video editing software and add to it if you want.
here is their link - www.shinywhitebox.com/home/home.html
it's only $20 and I've found it's very versatile and easy to use.

Copy videos off of YouTube and GoogleVideo with VIXY
Vixy.net is a great service to rip videos off Youtube or Google Video. Just copy and paste the video URL into the form on Vixy.net, then select the type of video you want to convert the file into and download into your desktop. I love its simplicity and effectiveness! Minor complaint is if the site is very busy, it doesn't always work and you'll have to reload the page. and try again. I've used it several times and it usually works great!

SGR Program 2.0 Rollout coming Sept 20, 2007
Even though the SGR program is barely 6 months old, they're making huge improvements and enhancements to this already life changing, amazing program and busines opportunity.
The movie the Secret came out in march of 2006... I saw it for the first time in september of 2006. . . 6 months later. I also saw the original version with ester hicks mind you. I was still considered one of the people who were in on it way before most everyone else was - like when oprah and larry king/cnn picked up on it earlier this year - march/april.
So here is the logical next step for those wanting to really apply the law of attraction in their own life and those of others in a big way. I got involved a little under 5 months with this (in august of 07). Check this video out and see what you think!

One person can make a difference/ Drivecleaner.com, you suck
I seem to like the song medley title thing...
Yes - even more in this age and time with technology leveling the playing field in so many areas, one can make a difference out there and you don't have to be rich, famous, powerful, charismatic, or a martyr to accomplish it.
Case in point. Many of you have probably already been a 'victim' of this irritating method of internet advertising spam by the drivecleaner.com website. I experienced it on iwon.com... What made this soooo annoying is I use a mac with safari browser, popupblocker turned on. A post on a mac forum site said:
"...it's an annoying pop-up add that thwarts Safari's "Block Pop-up Windows" using a Javascript error to force you to their website (clicking Cancel or OK takes you there), and it resizes your window. The website then logs your IP, system, and browser type."
The method they used bypassed all of that and would redirect and resize my browser window with a popup msg saying it'd found porn on my computer and was taking me to a site to download a free software program designed to remove it. What it failed to notice is they are marketing for PCs and I don't use windows. So it was a dumb scare tactic designed for the masses. What's worse though, is if you didn't read the popup window carefully and clicked the default button, it'd also start downloading the software. boy, talk about aggressive. . . their software must really suck to use these tactics.
Anyway, i got sick of it after a week and googling them to find out that i wasn't alone - they'd been pissing off countless people. So I emailed iwon.com and brought it to their attention and said i wouldn't even use their site until they took care of it.
Turns out, they didn't even know about drivecleaner.com's method of spamming and thanked me for telling them. They also removed the advertiser's ad.
So there you have it. Little ole' me made a difference... and it didn't even take much on my part. Here's the email correspondence between iwon.com and me.
So yes, one person can make a difference - even if only in a small way or to one other person out there. We are fragile creatures and kindness and love are everything. Remember, you ARE important. You ARE worthy. You ARE loved. you are LOVE. Be the ONE.
And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make
- the beatles

Do you want to be rich and live life abundantly NOW?
Are you tired of yet another missed opportunity? Is life passing by and you aren't having any fun?
Are you lacking the $ to enjoy all the things you want to do?
Have you heard of the movie, the Secret? How about the Law of Attraction?
Do you understand what it is and how it works? Do you want to?
I'm currently working with a seminar program called The Science of Getting Rich, which is based on the law of attraction and the teachings of the book Science of Getting Rich. You can get a free taste of it too by going to this website and signing up for them - the form is at the top right of the page.
Ever notice that it seems like you are much more experienced and competent with being negative and manifesting negative experiences but when you try being positive and focusing on positive outcomes that your results aren't as noticeable or significant?
Well, I'm hear to tell you that it can take just a moment to change all of that around... For many, it might take a little time and practice to get yourself there. It is said that it takes 30 days to develop a new habit or way of thinking to the point that it sticks and becomes the automatic response or reaction to things that you experience.
30 days doesn't seem like all that long but it can feel like an eternity when wanting change. Still, in this day and age, most of us have such busy lifestyles with so much garbage and distractions taking up our time and attention to what really matters. And even 30 days can seem a daunting task to stick with consistently every day.
For many, just trying to decide what it is that we really want is a major challenge and block. Often when we pick something to go for, later on even before we get it, we suddenly realize that we don't really want that thing that we are working on after all.
The universe answers our desires and wants, but if what you are getting isn't what you thought you wanted, maybe it's because you aren't being clear enough on what it is that you are asking.
I see this over and over with people putting out there the kind of mate they want to attract into their life. Too many times, the person that shows up isn't what they thought they asked for. Sure, there might be certain traits they possess that you wrote down or thought about, like, they're rich, or funny, or smart, or attractive...but then you didn't make it detailed enough and they have some trait that you just can't stand at all. And you think the universe is playing a cruel pratical joke on you.
When talking about manifesting things into our life and using the Law of Attraction, one key thing is often ignored, especially when it involves people. You aren't the only one in the equation. The other person that you attracted also attracted you to them whether or not they were conscious of it.
Then there are times where you are very specific with something easier, like a car, and you still end up with something a little bit different than you asked for. A friend of mine recently proved that with her new car. She had wanted a light cream convertible and even drove the car she thought she was going to get, but long story short, she ended up with a brand of car she never even considered. And it was black. But it was a convertible. The main thing was she wanted a softtop. Money was an issue as well as reliability (new car vs old one). After having it for a week, she now thinks this new car is better suited for her needs than the one she originally wanted. Maybe this is the universe, or your subconscious looking out for your best interests and making a few minor adjustments to your 'wish list'.
Then there's the concept of Vibrations.
On the surface many seemingly unrelated things are in fact very similar as far as their vibration or frequency. And this is very important when it comes to the law of attraction, where like attracts like. You can see it very plainly in our emotions and how it affects our environment. But I'll leave that topic for another post. Did you remember to sign up for your free lessons?

What Happens When 3 Extraordinary Teachers from "the Secret" Come Together to Teach the Science of Getting Rich?
The Science of Getting Rich is a timeless classic written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. It is a bold title for a book and suggests that getting rich is a predictable outcome if one can master the principles outlined in the book. Here is how Wallace D. Wattles puts it in his own words, "The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich."
Certainly, this book is well referenced by many of the great teachers today and it is the same book that inspired Rhonda Byrne to produce that runaway success "the Secret". Here is what Rhonda Byrne said on her introductory note to the book, "I can honestly say that, since that first night when a tattered printed manuscript found its way to me (thanks to one of my daughters), my life has never been the same. Once you read it for yourself, you will understand why". Rhonda went on to produce the movie "the Secret" and the best-selling book of the same title which has sold millions of copies worldwide.
However, learning how to do things in that "certain way" as described by Wallace D. Wattles may be more challenging for some as the book was written nearly 100 years ago. Some of the language is a little dated and much of its wisdom lost from a modern day perspective.
Fortunately, a new training seminar for the Science of Getting Rich has brought the wisdom of this timeless classic back to life for modern readers. Called "the Science of Getting Rich", this program is the most comprehensive training system for mastering Wallace D. Wattles wealth creation philosophies and principles since its creation. It comprises written, audio and live seminar formats for learning, applying and mastering the Science of Getting Rich
A unique "twist" to the program is the fact that it has an in-built vehicle for creating substantial financial wealth through its affiliate program. This is truly a unique wealth eduction and wealth building program designed to empower any individual with the resources to get rich. It is a program whose time has come. The program would not be possible without the original text from Wallace D. Wattles, the skills of leading teachers of our time, the phenomenal success of "the Secret" and the Internet as a learning and distribution tool.

The Science of Getting Rich Teachers:
Bob Proctor
Bob Proctor is an author, lecturer, counselor, business consultant, entrepreneur, and teacher preaching the gospel of positive thinking, self-motivation and maximizing human potential. In that endeavor, he follows in the footsteps of such motivational giants as Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale and Wallace D. Wattles.
His extraordinary teaching ability has won Proctor acclaim around the globe and has carried the Canadian-born motivator to the far reaches of the earth. He is as well known in Australia and Malaysia as he is in Alberta and Mississippi.
Born in a little town in northern Ontario, Canada with the low self-esteem that often befalls a family's middle child, he performed poorly in school, dropped out and did a hitch in the navy. Afterward he drifted from one dead-end job to another until a friend introduced Bob to the concept of self-development through Napoleon Hill's classic Think and Grow Rich.
With the spark generated by Hill's words, Proctor found the initiative to start an office cleaning business which he grew to international scope in his first year of operation. From that experience - after seeing what he had been able to accomplish with just a rudimentary knowledge of personal motivation and goal-setting - he hungered for more information.
His quest took him to the Nightingale-Conant organization to study under his mentor, Earl Nightingale. Once on board, he rose swiftly through the ranks. Eventually, while the Nightingale-Conant organization assumed the forefront in wide-scale distribution of personal development programs, Bob felt the need to take his ideas and methods directly to the individual, to the one-on-one level which had proved so successful for himself.
In the mid 1970's, Proctor established his own seminar company and secured a contract to work with a few hundred agents of Prudential Life Insurance Co. of America in Chicago. During his first seminar Bob made the suggestion that any agent present could write $5 million in business that year if the agent made a decision to do so.
The fact that the seminar took place in July with the year half over and that no agent in that region had ever written so much business in the 100-year history of the company made Bob's suggestion appear to be outrageous. However, when the performance level of the entire division increased substantially with more than one agent actually accomplishing the deed, Bob's reputation as a motivator was established.
Over the ensuing years, Proctor has shared his special message and expertise with hundreds of business entities worldwide and, through a program of live seminars, with thousands of people of all ages in all walks of life.
Meanwhile, in addition to his international best-seller You Were Born Rich, he found time to author other works as well, including Mission in Commission, The Winner's Image, The Goal Achiever, The Success Series, The Success Puzzle, The Recruiting Puzzle, and Being Your Very Best.
Jack Canfield
Jack Canfield is an American motivational speaker, trainer and author. He is best known as the founder and co-creator of The New York Times No. 1 best-selling "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series, which currently has over 65 titles and 80 million copies in print in over 37 languages. According to USA Today, Canfield and his writing partner, Mark Victor Hansen, were the top-selling authors in the United States in 1997.
With a BA from Harvard University, a Masters from University of Massachusetts, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Santa Monica, Canfield has been a high school and university teacher, a workshop facilitator, a psychotherapist, and for the past 30 years, a leading authority in the area of self-esteem and personal development.
Canfield is the founder of "Self Esteem Seminars" in Santa Barbara, and "The Foundation for Self Esteem" in Culver City, California. Self Esteem Seminars trains entrepreneurs, educators, corporate leaders and employees on how to accelerate the achievement of their personal and professional goals, while The Foundation for Self Esteem provides self-esteem resources and trainings to social workers, welfare recipients and human resource professionals. Canfield is also the President of Souperspeakers.com, a speaking resource service that provides inspirational speakers for event planners worldwide.
Canfield has traveled to over 21 countries, delivering hundreds of keynote speeches, workshops and trainings each year. As part of his presentation style, he always uses inspirational, motivational and uplifting stories to help his audiences discover, experience and retain key concepts and approaches. After each session, audiences everywhere had encouraged him to put his stories into a single book.
In 1990, while on an airplane home, he felt that it was time. He shared his idea with author Mark Victor Hansen during breakfast one day. Hansen liked the idea, and so began the Chicken Soup for the Soul phenomenon. But with their busy schedules, translating what worked on the podium onto the written page proved more challenging than either of them had anticipated. After three long years, the two had compiled just sixty-eight stories — a far cry from the 101 they believed was the magic number for a successful book. Nonetheless, their successful partnership has spawned many other titles that have made them enormously famous.
Canfield has appeared on numerous television shows, including Good Morning America, 20/20, Eye to Eye, CNN’s Talk Back Live, PBS and the BBC. Today, he speaks shares his success strategies with companies and associations worldwide.
The most recent book Canfield has written was the 2005 publication of The Success Principles. In it Canfield shares 64 principles that he and other people have utilized to achieve great levels of success.

The Science of Getting Rich Teachers:
Bob Proctor is an author, lecturer, counselor, business consultant, entrepreneur, and teacher preaching the gospel of positive thinking, self-motivation and maximizing human potential. In that endeavor, he follows in the footsteps of such motivational giants as Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale and Wallace D. Wattles.
His extraordinary teaching ability has won Proctor acclaim around the globe and has carried the Canadian-born motivator to the far reaches of the earth. He is as well known in Australia and Malaysia as he is in Alberta and Mississippi.
Born in a little town in northern Ontario, Canada with the low self-esteem that often befalls a family's middle child, he performed poorly in school, dropped out and did a hitch in the navy. Afterward he drifted from one dead-end job to another until a friend introduced Bob to the concept of self-development through Napoleon Hill's classic Think and Grow Rich.
With the spark generated by Hill's words, Proctor found the initiative to start an office cleaning business which he grew to international scope in his first year of operation. From that experience - after seeing what he had been able to accomplish with just a rudimentary knowledge of personal motivation and goal-setting - he hungered for more information.
His quest took him to the Nightingale-Conant organization to study under his mentor, Earl Nightingale. Once on board, he rose swiftly through the ranks. Eventually, while the Nightingale-Conant organization assumed the forefront in wide-scale distribution of personal development programs, Bob felt the need to take his ideas and methods directly to the individual, to the one-on-one level which had proved so successful for himself.
In the mid 1970's, Proctor established his own seminar company and secured a contract to work with a few hundred agents of Prudential Life Insurance Co. of America in Chicago. During his first seminar Bob made the suggestion that any agent present could write $5 million in business that year if the agent made a decision to do so.
The fact that the seminar took place in July with the year half over and that no agent in that region had ever written so much business in the 100-year history of the company made Bob's suggestion appear to be outrageous. However, when the performance level of the entire division increased substantially with more than one agent actually accomplishing the deed, Bob's reputation as a motivator was established.
Over the ensuing years, Proctor has shared his special message and expertise with hundreds of business entities worldwide and, through a program of live seminars, with thousands of people of all ages in all walks of life.
Meanwhile, in addition to his international best-seller You Were Born Rich, he found time to author other works as well, including Mission in Commission, The Winner's Image, The Goal Achiever, The Success Series, The Success Puzzle, The Recruiting Puzzle, and Being Your Very Best.
Jack Canfield is an American motivational speaker, trainer and author. He is best known as the founder and co-creator of The New York Times No. 1 best-selling "Chicken Soup for the Soul" book series, which currently has over 65 titles and 80 million copies in print in over 37 languages. According to USA Today, Canfield and his writing partner, Mark Victor Hansen, were the top-selling authors in the United States in 1997.
With a BA from Harvard University, a Masters from University of Massachusetts, and an honorary doctorate from the University of Santa Monica, Canfield has been a high school and university teacher, a workshop facilitator, a psychotherapist, and for the past 30 years, a leading authority in the area of self-esteem and personal development.
Canfield is the founder of "Self Esteem Seminars" in Santa Barbara, and "The Foundation for Self Esteem" in Culver City, California. Self Esteem Seminars trains entrepreneurs, educators, corporate leaders and employees on how to accelerate the achievement of their personal and professional goals, while The Foundation for Self Esteem provides self-esteem resources and trainings to social workers, welfare recipients and human resource professionals. Canfield is also the President of Souperspeakers.com, a speaking resource service that provides inspirational speakers for event planners worldwide.
Canfield has traveled to over 21 countries, delivering hundreds of keynote speeches, workshops and trainings each year. As part of his presentation style, he always uses inspirational, motivational and uplifting stories to help his audiences discover, experience and retain key concepts and approaches. After each session, audiences everywhere had encouraged him to put his stories into a single book.
In 1990, while on an airplane home, he felt that it was time. He shared his idea with author Mark Victor Hansen during breakfast one day. Hansen liked the idea, and so began the Chicken Soup for the Soul phenomenon. But with their busy schedules, translating what worked on the podium onto the written page proved more challenging than either of them had anticipated. After three long years, the two had compiled just sixty-eight stories — a far cry from the 101 they believed was the magic number for a successful book. Nonetheless, their successful partnership has spawned many other titles that have made them enormously famous.
Canfield has appeared on numerous television shows, including Good Morning America, 20/20, Eye to Eye, CNN’s Talk Back Live, PBS and the BBC. Today, he speaks shares his success strategies with companies and associations worldwide.
The most recent book Canfield has written was the 2005 publication of The Success Principles. In it Canfield shares 64 principles that he and other people have utilized to achieve great levels of success.

The Secret" and the Science of Getting Rich
Have you heard of the DVD called "the Secret"? Well it isn't such a secret anymore. The DVD was released in March 2006 and according to Time Magazine, the DVD has sold 500,000 units within the first 6 months. Today it sells well over 5,000 copies a day! It ranked in Amazon's Top-5 sellers during Christmas week; and a tie-in hardcover book just entered the Top 10 on the New York times bestseller list.
The amazing thing about "the Secret" is that you won't find it in your local Blockbuster or Barnes and Noble, it is selling briskly through new-age bookstores, New Thought churches like Unity and AGape and the official website at www.thesecret.tv. "It's become the biggest selling item in the 30-year history of our store," says Harmony Rose Allor, a buyer at West Hollywood's popular metaphysical bookshop, The Bodhi Tree. it is "word-of-mouth" marketing at it best.
So what is the secret to "the Secret's" success? It's is a "transformational movie", where a person's view on life and the laws of life will no longer be the same after watching this movie. In a sense, it has created the same kind of effect as "the Da Vinci Code" and the 2004 hit cult movie "What the Bleep Do We Know". The movie has created such waves that it has already been featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live and the Ellen DeGeneres show.
At the core of the movie is a central philosophy called "the Law of Attraction". In fact, the movie itself was inspired by this very same law when the producer read a book called "the Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace D. Wattles. This books was written in 1910!
This philosophy states that we create our reality, both good and bad! The message is delivered through 24 "teachers" which include prosperity preachers, chiropractic healers, relationship gurus, life coaches and motivational speakers — into one clear, cohesive voice. The movie is a "must watch" for anyone interested in taking charge of their life and in creating the life of their dreams.
Following on the success of the Secret, 3 of the core teachers - namely Bob Proctor and Jack Canfield have collaborated to produce a wealth building program called "the Secret Science of Getting Rich Seminar". This program is based on the book that inspired the movie and is set to make history as the fastest selling personal development program in history.
What is the Science of Getting Rich about? Well in the words of Wallace D. Wattles, "The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich." The Science of Getting Rich is all about teaching how to do things in this "certain" way to create wealth.
The success of this program is built on several rock solid foundations. These factors include: the phenomenal success of "the Secret", the timeless concepts from the Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, the credibility of successful personal improvement teachers and New Thought leaders of our time, and the Internet as the distribution medium.

Abraham and Esther Hicks and The Secret Revealed
The reasons behind the Esther Hicks omission have been well documented for months now, BUT up until now it has never come from the horse’s mouth - well never face to face.
Live in Gratitude has uncovered this exclusive video where Esther Hicks reveals the whole truth of The Secret saga. In a recent 2007 seminar on the teachings of Abraham, Esther is quizzed on the hot topic of why she was omitted from future copies of the Secret.
As Abraham states in the video, people don't talk or share the 'secret to creating' which is we are all Source Energy - because the student is not ready for it yet - a really good teacher understands where his student is. Yup.

HAPPY FOR NO REASON : HAPPINESS AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
HAPPY FOR NO REASON : HAPPINESS AND THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
by Marci Shimoff
(Watch Marci's video at: Video)
Imagine your fairy godmother is standing before you, ready to wave her
wand and make your wishes come true. Suddenly, the world appears a
different place, full of possibilities and magic!
Well, it turns out that this imaginary scenario is actually how the
process of manifestation works—and is based, not in magic, but in science.
The film “The Secret” vividly explains this powerful universal principle
called the Law of Attraction, which simply stated is: like attracts like.
Whatever we think, feel and put our energy into, whether positive or
negative, we magnetize to us. The universe, like a good fairy godmother,
simply responds.
Sounds easy enough. So, why don’t we all have everything we want?
The answer lies in my favorite formula for applying the Law of Attraction
that was given to me by my good friend and advisor Bill Levacy. It has
three simple, easy-to-remember steps:
1. INTENTION – Be clear about what you want
2. ATTENTION – Experience the thoughts and feelings of already having what
you want, AND take the action steps to manifest your intention.
3. NO TENSION – Let go. Relax. Shift from being tightly focused on your
specific desired outcome to being wide open to all possibilities. Trust
that your highest good will come to you, and feel the happiness of that.
A lot has been written and spoken about the first two steps. Many of us
have mastered them, but have stopped there. We end up holding on to our
desire like a terrier chewing on a bone. We have to take action towards
our goals, but when we push and struggle and hold on too tight, we get in
our own way.
The problem is we haven’t taken the last step. We haven’t let go.
Surrendered. Said, “Okay, this or something better.” The third step, “no
tension,” frees our minds, opens our hearts, and, most importantly, lets
us be happy in this moment. If we skip this step, it’s like having a
closed fist; how can we receive anything when our hand isn’t open? In our
“gotta-get” culture, this is the step most people miss or dismiss.
When we let go and trust that all is ultimately working out for the best,
we feel happier. And happiness attracts more happiness.
When I first heard Bill’s formula, I had an “a-ha moment.” I realized that
every time I had succeeded in manifesting my desires, it had happened only
after I’d done step #3, let go, relaxed and felt happy. In fact, one of
my greatest successes is a perfect example of this.
In 1994, I had been working for ten years as a corporate trainer and a
professional speaker focusing on self-esteem for women. My career
intention was clear (step #1): to inspire and empower millions of people
around the world to live their lives to their highest and best potential.
My attention was focused on thinking, feeling and visualizing BIG success
(step #2). I was the queen of persistence and had taken all the “right
actions” to further my career. Although I had achieved a good degree of
success by then, I knew I wanted to take my work to a higher level, and it
just wasn’t happening. I had done everything I knew to do and was burned
out.
Needing to take a break, I decided to go on a seven-day silent meditation
retreat. After a few days of silence—no easy feat for a Chatty Cathy like
me—the most amazing thing happened. I began to tap into something deeper
in myself, and started to feel peaceful, relaxed and fulfilled. I moved
into that state of no tension, where my grip on achieving my goal melted
away, leaving me with a feeling of deep contentment.
Then, on the fourth day of silence, while I was sitting quietly in
meditation, a light bulb went off in my head, and I clearly saw the words
Chicken Soup for the Woman’s Soul in my mind. This was back in 1994 when
only the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book had been published, so the
idea of spin-off books for different niche markets was a breakthrough. As
soon as the idea came, I knew it was a winner. I was so excited that it
was all I could do to sit silently for three more days without shouting
the idea to anyone in earshot!
The minute the retreat ended, I ran to the closest payphone and called
Jack Canfield, who had been my mentor for the past six years and was the
co-creator of “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. I told him my idea and he loved
it. Before long I had a book contract to create what would be one of the
first in the now legendary series of over 150 titles. Within a few years,
I had co-authored six New York Times bestsellers in the Chicken Soup
series, with over 13 million books sold. I had finally, and thrillingly,
fulfilled my original intention of touching millions of people’s lives.
I am absolutely certain that it was by using all three steps of this
powerful formula—intention, attention, and no tension—that I was able to
realize my dream. Any two of the steps would not have done it.
So, did I live happily ever after? Not right away. After using this
formula for many years to attract extraordinary situations, people and
things that I wanted, I eventually realized, like many people before me,
that having the things and circumstances you want in your life is
wonderful AND it’s not enough. It was then that I discovered another
essential key: there is more. . .
Having things and circumstances – money, success, relationships,
health--brings a certain happiness, what I call being “happy for good
reason.” Unfortunately, this temporary experience of satisfaction or joy
soon fades and we have to hurry up and fulfill the next desire to get a
new high. To experience true and lasting happiness, we must be free of
the need for any external reason to be happy. As Deepak Chopra has said,
“happiness for a reason is just another form of misery.”
What we all want most deeply is to be what I have come to call “happy for
no reason”—a lasting neurophysiological state of peace and well-being that
is not dependent on circumstances. I’ve spent the last few years
researching the latest findings on happiness and interviewing truly happy
people for my upcoming book, "Happy for No Reason." The good news is this
is an achievable state.
Ironically, we seem to have things backwards. True happiness isn’t a
result of getting what we want; getting what we want is a side effect of
happiness. Why? Because, when we are happy for no reason, we have
mastered that tricky step #3, no tension, and then our desires manifest
more quickly and effortlessly than ever.
Perhaps we need to focus a little less on getting what we want to make us
happy and a little more on creating a deep inner state of happiness. When
we are happy for no reason, all else is just icing on the cake.
That is the ultimate secret!

Now I know there can appear a problem for many wishing to attend this conference - money and time constraints are the main issues for most of us.
What if there was a way to afford to go? Sure, you could borrow the money from someone.... charge up your credit cards, buy a winning lottery ticket. How about adding a stream of income to what you are already making?
Here's an opportunity I present to you that is an excellent and simple way to get plenty of extra money in time for the convention ... if you work it... and don't delay, ACT!
Go to my website: Imagination: The Science of Getting Rich
Read it over and see what you think. go ahead and get your free lessons from bob proctor and jack canfield if you're not ready just yet to do it. However, every day you wait to act on achieving a goal, that's one more day away from getting there. Maybe you don't have any goals... or they don't motivate you enough to take action. If going to this conference isn't a big enough goal for you, perhaps becoming wealthy or wealthier IS.
You have nothing to those but your achievement of your dreams!

The Law of Attraction and the Science of Getting Rich
What are you thinking about right now? The Law of Attraction states that "whatever we think about, we bring about". This law may initially seem like new age fluff but believe it or not, there are scientific merits to this proposition. The top quantum physicists of our time have discovered that our universe and our reality is very much directed by the "observer".
When studying quantum particles (the smallest observable unit of matter), these scientists discovered that such particles behave in accordance with the person conducting the experiment. It the scientists "predict" that quantum particles behave in a certain way, they do. And yet, if the scientists "predict" that quantum particles behave in another way, they do. It is the "observer" that dictates the outcome of the experiment!
What does all this mean for us normal people? Well actually, these scientific experiments has far reaching implications for us as our world is made up of these same quantum particles! In this case, we are the "observer" the director and hence the creator of our reality, our world and our experience.
So, be careful of what you think about! for example, have you thoughts ever begun with the following phrases:
I don’t understand…
I don't want...
I’m frustrated that…
I hate my…
I can’t figure out …
I’m stressed about…
I’m worried that…
I should be able to… but I can’t…
Why am I having so much trouble?
The Law of Attraction indifferent to the words preceding your thought. Whatever you think about you will attract into your life. When you think "I don't understand why bad things always happen to me?", you are "attracting" bad things into your life. When you think "I want to get out of debt", you are attracting more debt into your life. When you think "I'm worried I will get sick", you are attracting sickness into your life! The Law of Attraction brings about what you focus on even if it is not what you want. Get it?
If you understand this principle, here are some examples of how to make the law of attraction work to support you rather than to act against you. Try observing your thoughts and changing your thinking in the following way:
"I want to get out of debt" to "I want to earn amazing riches"
"I hate my boss" to "I look forward to owning my own business"

Now that we have a better understanding of the Law of Attraction, it is no surprise why so many people struggle with regards to money. It is been said that "the rich get richer while the poor get poorer". This is actually the Law of Attraction in action. Because the wealthy have money, they often think about how to best use their money and hence they attract more money. The poor on the other hand often think about their present lack of money and unfortunately, that also attracts lack into their lives. Currently, 96% of the world's wealth is being earned by just 1% of the population!
To address this issue, the main teachers behind the movie is launching a program is called "The Science of Getting Rich" and it is based on employing the law of attraction to create wealth. This amazing program is based on the principles and philosophies outlined in a book of the same title written in 1910 by Wallace D Wattles. This is the same book that inspired the movie.
What is the Science of Getting Rich about? Well in the words of Wallace D. Wattles, "The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich." The Science of Getting Rich Seminar is all about teaching how to do things in this "certain" way to create wealth.
