Yellow Car Game - Easy Prosperity Technique

When I was 17 I wanted a Yellow IROC Z-28...what do you expect I'm from New Jersey :)! There was one where I grew up, that always cruised around Old Bridge. You could always find them at the Dance Clubs too. It felt so good to see that car. I knew it was fast, unusual because of the yellow paint and it was really attractive to me.

Today, yellow cars have taken on a whole new perspective. Now to me when I see yellow cars, they trigger the important feeling of PROSPERITY. My good friend Wendy Matthews taught me a technique to help trigger good positive feelings that will attract the things or situations I want to attract.

Here's how is goes...Statistically, yellow paint is the color that is least used within stock paint colors. In other words, only about 20% of cars on the road are yellow so the chances of you seeing a yellow car compared to other colors is slim. As you are driving, set the intention of seeing yellow cars. Be excited & challenge yourself to see them: "Today, I'm going to see yellow vehicles of all shapes & sizes!!" By you setting the intention from a place of excitement, the Universe sets in motion a series of events that will present to you yellow vehicles-school buses, SUV's, cars, motorcycles, etc. Keep the faith and KNOW that you will see them & you will see the vehicles. When you see them, you have now just proven to yourself that you have the power of intention AND the power of manifestation. In other words, you set out to see yellow cars, and you have manifested yellow cars during your path today.

So now, apply a feeling to this game - health, happiness, success - whatever you want. For me, whenever I see yellow vehicles, I say "Prosperity" or "thank you for those 10 leads." It's a trigger or a signal to get me back to the JOYFUL place, a place of belief in myself that I can manifest whatever I desire - whether it's yellow cars, a relationship, prospects for my business or $20,000. By seeing the yellow car, I KNOW I have the ability to stay in the constant state of JOY...it's from JOY that we create our destiny, our life. You too have the same ability.

My whole family intends yellow cars during their day now, attaching different feelings to the visual. My son Rex evens shouts out "Prosperity" when he sees a yellow vehicle...and he's 2 1/2. It's a super fun game that all can enjoy. Have fun with this; you'll always yellow cars where ever you go now.

We've been doing this now for about 2 months. Bill & I work our business from home http://LiveInProsperity.net. The other day I was sitting at the desk, looking out the window thinking about writing this post and guess what flies by my window...a Yellow Helicopter...low and slow - it was awesome - as if to say, "Prosperity is all around Nancy!" It surely is & it's a good life.

Home Business Expert: Top 10 Myths of Home Business

Today we have more home businesses than at any time before and the number of such businesses seem to be increasing with each passing day. This only points to one direction and this is that, home businesses are making a lot of money for their owners. Yes, it is true you can start a business from your home and begin to amass wealth. But to make it really successful you need to know what are the myths about home businesses, and then work around them.

So here are the top 10 myths about home based businesses for your convenience.

1. It is too technical.

2. Running a home business is easy.

3. You just need to work for a few hours.

4. Since I am working with Bob and Bob is a millionaire I will be one too.

5. Only the first people or the top people will ever make any money in a business.

6. You don't even need a website!

7. You don't have to pay for advertising!

8. You won't have to spend any money.

9. There is no need to meet people at all.

10. You can put things on autopilot.

It is too technical : This is one big myth. There are thousands of entrepreneurs with very little technical skills, and no technical skills even who are making money all the time from their work at home enterprises. So you can too. Most businesses do not need you to be a technical wizard.

Running a home business is easy : Yes it may seem that there are many who are easily earning a 6 figure income, but you should know that this is not necessarily an easy job. To become really successful, you will obviously have to know your business inside out and then do the right things properly and only then can you begin to amass enough wealth. But yes, it can be done.

You just need to work for a few hours : Of course you can decide the number of hours you want to work and even select the time of the day when to work when you are working from home, but this does not mean that just working 1 hour a day for 3 days a week will make your business a hit. There are many small business owners who really slog it out and many of them even work on weekends. But this work is usually fun because you are working for yourself and not your boss.

Since I am working with Bob and Bob is a millionaire I will be one too : Here's another popular myth. Yes Bob has been a great success story, but you still have to make it happen even though you are following him.

Only the first people or the top people will ever make any money in a business : Many believe that only those who join first or the ones who are at the top will ever make money in a program. But this is wrong. If you do the right things, you can succeed too, no matter where you are placed or when you start. You simply have to start!

You don't even need a website : At the very beginning when you are starting off, in many businesses, you may not have a website, but as your business progresses, you will see that having a website has become a necessity. We are now in the Information Age & the Internet isn't going anywhere.

You don't have to pay for advertising : No matter what your business, you still need to inform your customers about it and thus you need advertising. Advertisements are most effective when you are paying for them and this can also give you the mileage you need.

You won't have to spend any money : This is another myth because often you will find that it becomes necessary to spend money for many reasons such as business promotion, paying people etc.

There is no need to meet people at all : You might be working from home, but that does not mean that there will be a need to meet anyone at all for your business.

You can put things on autopilot : There are those who think that you just start the business and put the things in place and the autopilot will take care of everything. If your business has systems & the tools in place, you'll have the ability to leverage your time & make money while you sleep. However, you will always be the constant & therefore your business will never be on autopilot.

These are the top 10 myths about home business. Needless to say, they are not true.

I See Dead People!!!!

Friends...If you're not learning, reading or expanding your mind - you are dying, plain & simple.

I give you my list of books & CD's I've read or listened to in the past 10 months. Most of these I've repeated more than once. It is absolutely incredible what you will find as you reread something again - the next level of growth, a deeper understanding of who you are and the power of knowing where you are going. You get to the root of all the bull shit you still have inside of your head & heart that's blocking you from your dreams. According to one of my Mentors, your emotional baggage actually blocks your dreams from coming true. Think about that for a minute... Everytime you get upset, angry, sad, fearful...you are blocking what you want most! If you are not seeking out the wisdom you require to propel you to the next level, if you are sitting in front of the TV every night, if you are distracted from diving deep insdie to find out about yourself, you will never get out of your own way. You have the right to be prosperous, successful, happy, in love, in joy, and full of complete bliss everyday you walk to earth. Do something for yourself, read or listen to one of my recommendations...it will change your life, I promise. I am a life long student of personal development and I have an unquenchable thirst for learning about how I tick!!

Beyond Freedom is NOT for Whimps!!!

The BEYOND FREEDOM Program

BEYOND FREEDOM, a 90-day program for individual growth and advancement, is Liberty League's premier product. Using a variety of media, this unique program was specifically created as a guide for those who desire more than the ordinary, those who dare to believe that dreams can come true. BEYOND FREEDOM shows you how easy but essential changes in your frame of mind and the way you organize your days can improve every aspect of your life.



The wisdom behind BEYOND FREEDOM comes from a long-held belief that YOU are the captain of your own ship, and that you can and should steer it anywhere you want it to go. Implementing this idea, BEYOND FREEDOM is a comprehensive methodology that begins working deep within you and then radiates outward. As you recognize and modify patterns and ideas that are holding you back, your life begins to transform in a very positive direction.

The chief components of the BEYOND FREEDOM program are an audio program, a workbook, a DVD, and a journal to track your progress. These are the first steps to taking your own life BEYOND FREEDOM. You will find that the brilliant philosophy of the program will extend far beyond its tangible elements.

Audio Program
As you listen to the multiple-disc audio program, you will discover how large a part your subconscious mind has had in framing your current situation in life, and you will also find out how to use your conscious mind on a daily basis to change subconscious habits and to create what you really want. You will also further explore something you may already think you know: the real connection between giving and receiving. A wealth of people who have used the BEYOND FREEDOM program will tell you their stories, explaining how their lives have not just improved but vastly exceeded their expectations.

BEYOND FREEDOM Workbook & Goal-Achieving System
An accompaniment to the audio program, the 131-page workbook contains simple exercises that reinforce the ideas you've listened to, help you identify your purpose, and show you how to set your goals. You'll use the exercises to zero in on how the BEYOND FREEDOM philosophy applies specifically to you, and you'll map out a plan and develop a system for accomplishing your highest aspirations.

DVD Video
The DVD is especially exciting because it's a preview of your future in the most amazing voyage of your life. Inspiring men and women tell how they triumphed over all sorts of odds by using the principles and philosophy of the BEYOND FREEDOM program. Through these real-life stories, you'll see how ordinary people learned to soar far above what they assumed was their maximum potential, and how they did it in an amazingly short amount of time.

Journaling System
The final element of the BEYOND FREEDOM program is a 90-day journal. You'll have plenty to write about as you progress through the lessons and expand your understanding of the ideas that will transform your life. With each new entry, you'll see your growing self-confidence and change in outlook. Later, as you look back over your entries, you will be able to see just how far you've come-and your journal will always be there as your personal reminder of when your life took a turn for the better, and the best way for you to stay on track to success.
Your passage from where you are now to a place BEYOND FREEDOM will be a journey you'll take pleasure in. As you become more and more mindful of your inner being, it will show in your outer being and you will benefit in every way you choose. And despite the power of this highly informative program, it is not one bit complicated. In fact, those who use BEYOND FREEDOM say they enjoy it so much they can hardly wait to use it each day.

As you practice the BEYOND FREEDOM principles, you will begin to realize that you are indeed in charge of your life and that your goals ARE attainable. If you can imagine it, you can do it, whether your goal is to lose weight, make more money, communicate dynamically, or improve your relationships. Everyone has hopes and dreams. With the BEYOND FREEDOM program, they CAN come true.

Think Big. Work Less. Live Free. http://LiveInProsperity.net

Home Business Expert: 5 Daily Habits Of Leadership/Successful Entrepreneur

There are basically two kinds of people – those who are successful and those who have under achieved. Now if you do some analysis you will surely find that in almost all the cases, the ones who have been successful are the leaders. In fact it can be safely said that the issue of leadership and success are inter related. And interesting observation is that, those who are leaders have surprisingly common things between them. In other words, there are certain things that the leaders do, and most of them do the same things. Is this what makes the critical difference between and success and under achieving? And this similarity begins with their daily habits. Let us take a closer look at 5 daily habits of those who are leaders or successful entrepreneurs.

Following a routine: Having a discipline, and following a routine is very important always. To become truly successful whether in your traditional job or home business, you need to have a routine and must consistently follow it, day in and day out. Many people believe that in a home business, working for just an hour or two in a day may be enough. But in many cases this is not really what happens. You might have to put in 4 hours a day – but of course, you can work the hours you want to. So if you are in the habit of starting your work at 8 in the morning and then working till 12 noon, make it a point to follow this routine. Further, if you have decided to work 5 days a week and spare the weekends, then never do your work on the weekend unless you absolutely have to.



Keeping the focus: In a traditional job there are deadlines, and there is always the boss to ensure that the targets are honored. But a home business owner can often lose the focus as there is no one to ask for an explanation when the job s not done. You might not be in the mood for working and there may be a lack of motivation. There are so many distractions too and all these factors can bring down the focus level. When you are a home business entrepreneur, make it your habit to not lose your focus – keep doing your job and be persistent, no matter what happens.

Interacting with people: You will need to meet people and interact with them even when you are a home business entrepreneur. Remember, these people are your prospective customers and what they think about your service/product and how they perceive your business is very crucial. So talk to them and ask for their feedback as this will definitely improve your performance when what they say can be incorporated.

Research: The market changes very quickly and this is why you must make it a habit to do some research. Browse the Internet and read books to know about the changes in your area of business, to find out what your competitors are doing and also to look out for new developments.

Lead your team:
A home business can often also have people working for it. They may be working from their own home but they are still your employees. Make it your habit to show them the way to perform better (your own experience, particularly if you yourself have been an employee before will come in handy here) because as the leader you must have the ability to lead people – this will definitely lead to better performance.

Home Business Expert: Testimonials, Your Secret Sales Force

The value of testimonials is tremendous and this is why you will find that those websites that are successful almost always has them. The fact is, all of us say good words about ourselves, about the services we offer and the products that are on display. But most websites on the Internet face a credibility problem where everything they have to say is taken with a pinch of salt by the prospective customer. In this situation what your actual customers are saying has a great effect as people tend to believe those like them who have been customers themselves and have tried the company. Yes, testimonials often have a great impact and can push up the sales. Credibility indicators such as testimonials can lead to a higher conversion rate. This is why it is said that testimonials can be your secret sales force'.

The main problem with online shopping is that on the Internet, people cannot touch anything, and nor can they have a feel of a product. The only thing that they can do is see their pictures and read the descriptions. This is why they hesitate when making a purchase they would rather buy it from an offline store but still visit websites because it is convenient to do so. Thus, if there are testimonials where the users are actually saying good things and about their user experiences, then it definitely helps.

But the testimonials need to be well written and not something simple like this "I have used this product and I liked it Thank You". Customers want to know whether the product is good or not and whether it delivers what it promises, but they want to know much more too. Such as whether the company selling it is reliable, are there any money back guarantees and whether the company honors these guarantees or not, whether the product reaches on time or not and lastly, is the customer service department functional, helpful and prompt.

So you should request your happy customers to write testimonials that are more detailed, offer value propositions and speak of personal experiences. And if they cannot do so, you may even write them yourself and send them over to the customers for their approval.

There are those websites that also publish audio and video testimonials and many believe that these ones have more credibility as visitors can actually see happy customers speaking or hear them.

But in whichever way you may publish the testimonials, you can expect them to work as your secret sales force. That is why they are so popular on the Internet.

Home Business Expert: Importance Of A Personal Note

You might be offering the best product or the service and might have the most effective business plan, but your business venture can still fail if you are not maintaining a great relationship with your customers. The fact is, in a business, the relationships you make with your customers can matter a lot and this can be the crucial difference between success and failure. They can not only come back for a repeat business, but a happy customer can also refer your business to others and such independent referrals are always extremely effective. And of course a happy customer himself/herself can be a long term customer.

The entire process of sales has to be finely designed to make a good impression. It is always advisable never to appear desperate to sale your product or service. Yes you must never hard sell because firstly, you will surely come across desperate and might transmit this idea that your business is not doing that well. And secondly, no one likes to be pushed around, and if you are too aggressive, this is exactly how the prospect will feel.

Following up after the sale has taken place is also very important, and this is true no matter whether the sale has happened online or offline. Sadly, this is quite rare, and so this is where the opportunity is for you to make a difference and strike up a relationship with the buyer. You can send the person a personal note of thanks for doing business with you either through email or you may also call the person up. This should quite easy to do because you must be having some contact information of the person. Also tell the person with your personal note of thanks that you will always be available to answer any questions or concerns. And if it is the buyer who has made the first contact after the sale and you happened to be away at that time, do call back immediately on return and thank the person for making the call.

A personal note and a good relationship with the buyer are sure to benefit the business in the long run. For example, there might be a problem in a future transaction where there are delays in shipping or come computer glitch that is holding you up, and if you just inform the person he/she will understand simply because you have a great relationship with the buyer.

So a personal note adds that personal touch to your business it is a foolproof formula to make your business a long term success story.

Home Business Expert: Importance Of A Mastermind Group

In the timeless classic titled "Think and Grow Rich" the author Napoleon Hill first introduced the concept of a mastermind group' and since then the idea has caught on the imagination of thousands of business people and professionals from across the world. According to Hill, the mastermind group was the union of two or more people when they come together to achieve something similar and both of them naturally has the same objectives and goals in mind.

But ironically, though we agree that such a group can be extremely helpful as both the people involved can gain from each other's knowledge and experience, but in reality we do not see this happen in most places. This does not happen at a traditional job because of competition and ego clashes between peers, and this does not happen in a home business because in this case, the entrepreneur has shut himself or herself up from the rest of the world mostly. His interactions with people have drastically gone down since the time he/she started the home business.

But if you can be a little more pro-active and if you can leave your ego behind, then there is definitely a lot to be gained from a mastermind group. Remember the popular phrase "Two brains are always better than one." Even if you are a home business entrepreneur and do not get to meet so many people, then too there are forums and groups you can be members of. These are the places where you will come across others like you and some of them are true experts. Thus, you can gain a lot from their knowledge and experience. So form your mastermind group and begin to share your knowledge and for sure, you will see a positive change.

Your mastermind group members will provide you the opportunity to discuss complicated issues concerning your trade. This is drastically reduces the chances of a mistake. You will know how to react in a particular situation and also be able to identify new opportunities. Plus of course, it always helps to know someone else who is in the same trade and this is particularly helpful for a home business entrepreneur because when you are working from home, you run the risk of becoming somewhat of a loner.

Home Business Expert: Establishing A Connection

Establishing a connection with your prospect goes a long way towards making a successful home business or home based business. This can be done in several ways of which the Internet is probably the best because of the many opportunities it provides. It is not only the best medium for establishing a connection with a prospect, but is also the fastest, easiest and the most confidential way of doing so. Yes, the Internet can truly be utilized for establishing a connection and building trustful relationship.

For establishing a connection, you need to understand the desire and the preferences of your prospect. Do remember that the prospect can become your customer if you can understand him or her and then offer something that the person needs. Establishing a connection serves this purpose as it helps you understand the prospect and thus this is a key act for any business, including your home based enterprise.

But establishing a connection begins with knowing who a prospect is and here marketing can help you. If marketing is considered to be a means of making connections, every marketer would do well to learn with whom to connect as well as how to connect in order to serve its prospects to the highest level and when this is done, business success and expansion is just a matter of time.

Home business owners interested in business relationships are always on the lookout to communicate with people and establishing a connection because you never know who can be that next big customer. The key here is never to miss out on an opportunity to reach out. If nothing, you at least can know someone new and have a new friend.

Establishing a connection can be done both online and offline. On the web if you have a website, you can carry a form where you ask the visitors to fill out and let you know their preferences. There can also be a guestbook where the visitors to your website can post and let you know their thoughts. Plus of course there is the email option using which people can send you emails (and you can then answer back) this too lets you establish a connection with your prospect. Remember, communication is a key in establishing a connection.

Establishing a connection offline? This can be done by participating at fairs and local trade shows. Be friendly and reach out to as many people as possible you never know who is a prospect and who is not and you never know which prospect can convert.

Home Business Expert: Create Your 101 Personal Accomplishment List

Welcome to 2009 - Cheers to Prosperity & Abundance!

What do you want to achieve in life? There are so many kinds of people and their preferences are also so diverse, but surprisingly you will find that when it comes to accomplishments, there is a lot of similarity. We all want a good life we all want to amass enough wealth so that we can lead a comfortable lifestyle. We all want to own a great home and perhaps even one for the weekend in the hills where we can spend a day or two in luxury, quietly. And that's not all we all want a great automobile a jazzy sports car or a stylish sedan, and we all want to go on that exotic vacation.

But to achieve even half of what we set out to do, we need to be very successful. A personal accomplishment list can be of great help in this. So make this list and enter here everything you want to achieve in life and when you have all of them clearly written and right in front of your eyes, you are sure to feel motivated. For many people, a lack of motivation and persistence is a major reason why they never achieve most of their goals. Let this not happen to you.

Divide your accomplishment list into short term, mid-term and long term accomplishments. Then as you keep achieving one milestone after another, just tick them off the list but do not forget to mention what you did and how you achieved them, and also mention the time it took you. The simple fact that your list is shortening over time can be a great motivator to keep you going and it will also keep your focus too.

There is another reason why a personal accomplishment list is a great idea. This is because the human brain is a funny thing and our preferences and what we truly want often keeps changing and this may make us lose our focus at times. For example, if your priority is to buy that great mansion you once saw, then you should work hard toward it. But there may be so many temptations like a cruise vacation to Alaska or spending a week in the Amazon rain forest. These distractions can leave a hole in your pocket and in the end, you will not achieve what you set out to do in the first place.

Making your personal accomplishment list will also make you think about all the things you want to achieve in life and pen them down in one place. This will ensure that you will accomplish your dreams.

Home Business Expert: How To Overcome Poverty Consciousness

Poverty consciousness is the consciousness that you are poor. Now interestingly, this has got nothing to do with how much money you have because even if you have quite a bit, you might still believe that you do not have enough and this makes you an ideal candidate for poverty consciousness. In fact, poverty and poverty consciousness are two different issues and they may not be related at all. There are so many people who are not extremely well off financially and yet the material possessions do not seem so important and they can remain happy. And then there are those who are extremely rich but even then they are unhappy.

To become successful and lead a happy life, you will need to end your poverty consciousness. Here are some ways that can be useful.

Never brood over the fact that you may have so little. Just take a look around you there are so many people who have so little and you will see that you are much better off. Yes ambition is necessary and you should make the conscious effort to generate wealth, but while you are doing so, do not forget to thank God for what He has given you.

Never feel jealous about all those people who may seem to have everything in life. On the contrary try to get inspired from their wealth and achievements learn what they did and how they did it, and perhaps you may also be able to do the same things to amass enough wealth.

You need to change your focus from what you do not desire to what you desire. The human mind works in a way in which if you keep thinking about something and attach too much importance to, it will keep expanding. For example, if you give too much thought to scarcity, it is sure to grow manifold in your mind. So think of abundance instead even if you are not abundant because thinking of scarcity never helped anyone.

Do not nurture bad thoughts about anyone even those who owe you money. Pray to God so that they may become prosperous and if and when they make the payment, always end up thanking them but do not sound satirical when you do so.

Recognize that money is important in life but in the end money cannot buy you happiness. Even if you have the best luxuries in life, you may still be unhappy. So being happy is more important than being rich.

Thinking of poverty never did anyone any good. So stop thinking of all those things that are missing in your life remember that no one can get everything. Overcoming poverty consciousness has many benefits.

Home Business Expert: How Far Will You Go For Your Business?

Before starting your home business, as the entrepreneur, you need to know how far will you go for your business. Actually asking the question how far will you go for your business and the answer you find to it is a key that will determine whether you are successful or not as an entrepreneur. You need to ascertain what kind of drive you have and whether you are mentally prepared to experience the pitfalls or not.

While some may be satisfied with a medium-income range, to others, the sky is the limit. But then, they can't reach the summit overnight they have to put in endless hours of labor, but when you love the work and have a goal in mind, the labor becomes enjoyable. But on the other hand if you do not know how far will you go for your business, and are prepared for it, then all this might be simply too much. However that should not be the case and thousands of home business owners are successful so you can be too. In fact, you can be the next big success story.

Home business owners should set up a goal and then keep on pursuing it till they reach the desired pinnacle. The drive should always be there to ensure a steady upward journey.

The answer to the question how far will you go for your business is never the same for two people, as individual definitions of success differ and so do individual needs and wants and ambitions. You can go as far as you wish, provided you do not lose your drive and are not distracted. Here, goal setting plays a significant part. This has to be broken down to several segments. As soon as you finish up with the lowest segment, reach for the next higher goal till you have reached the top. Reaching the milestones becomes easier when you know how far will you go for your business.

Another important issue related to how far will you go for your business concerns the time that you are devoting to the home business. The fact is, it will depend on what kind of a home business you have. If you are running something that needs you to put in 8 hours daily, then you need to ask yourself how far will you go for your business before you start off.

So go ahead and start your home business. Take the first step towards financial independence but ask yourself this important question first - how far will you go for your business?
