My 12-Month Webinar Series: A Year On The Magical Path — Starting January 11

Please join my 12-month webinar series, A Year On The Magical Path, starting Wednesday, January 11.

 

Discover the short path to 

creating the life of your dreams 

and a world that works for all!

This course is for anyone — anyone is capable of creating magical results — but it’s especially powerful for artists, young people, and the overworked, underpaid, overwhelmed, or hopelessly lazy.

This course is based on my new book, The Magical Path, which will be published in the Fall of 2012. Each webinar will cover a chapter of the new book, and you will be emailed a chapter a month — in advance of the book’s publication. At the conclusion of the course, you will receive a signed copy of the new print book. The book and course are my most powerful work — filled with simple and effective practices that can change the course of your life in wonderful, even miraculous ways!

It is the intention of this course to help develop an army of visionaries, artists, entrepreneurs, businesspeople, teachers, and leaders who are transforming their lives and the whole world as well, creating a world that works for all.

My Next Free Teleseminar: Success With Ease / The Short Course -- November 2

Please join my next free teleseminar, Success With Ease / The Short Course, on Wednesday, November 2.

 

In 2003, The Millionaire Course was launched. It’s nearly 300 pages long, and contains just about everything I ever learned that helped me move from complete poverty to a pretty amazing level of prosperity. Over the years, the book became a live course we started calling Success With Ease — a better title, I feel, for there are many people for whom the word “millionaire” is a far-too-distant goal — or a goal they’re simply not interested in achieving. Everyone, however, wants to be successful as they choose to define success. And who doesn’t want success with ease?

We recently presented the Success With Ease Course as a 12-download audio series (available on my website). I’ve had several people, however — including a few young relatives of mine — who found the book and the audio course too long. They wanted the Cliff Notes, the condensed version. So I came up with the Success With Ease Short Course, specifically for artists, young people, and the overwhelmed, overworked, or hopelessly lazy.

It’s extremely simple, involving four steps anyone can take:

1. Decide what you want to do with your life.

Decide to do what you love.

2. Do it, in whatever way you can, and keep doing it.

Sooner or later, you’ll get good at it.

3. Imagine yourself being successful

doing what you love to do.

4. Make a plan,

and take the first obvious steps.

How much simpler can you get?

Join me in my next free teleconference. Perhaps it’s all you need to chart your course to remarkable success — doing what you love, in an easy and relaxed manner, a healthy and positive way.

Be well, be in peace,

My Next Free Teleseminar: The Power of a One-Page Plan--October 5

Please join my next free teleseminar, The Power of a One-Page Plan, on Wednesday, October 5.

   

The older I get, the simpler things get. And I can put what I know in simpler words.

The simpler the better.

“You must make things simple,” said the great architect I.M. Pei. “You must break down your complex projects into simple steps, and take one at a time.”

Over the years, I devised a very simple system that I have used to rise out of poverty and into pretty remarkable success. The essential part of the system is:

1. Dare to dream your ideal. Start with the end in mind, and keep it in mind.
2. Make a list of all the goals necessary to create your ideal life. Rewrite your goals as affirmations, and start affirming you are now creating those goals.
3. Make a one-page plan for each goal. Keep your plan simple.

Plan your work and work your plan.

Can it really be that simple? Absolutely. I’ll do my best in our next free teleconference to explain why. I’ll do my best to explain, as well, why every excuse you think you have for not succeeding brilliantly is not valid.

There will be more on this on our next teleconference!

Be well, be in peace,

My Next Free Teleseminar: How You Can Be Lazy Yet Successful--August 3

Please join my next free teleseminar, How You Can Be Lazy Yet Successful, on Wednesday, August 3.

    

Someone emailed me some very good questions the other day — questions that intrigue a lot of people:

Can someone who’s lazy really be a successful professional?

The answer is: Yes, absolutely! There are a lot of people who have understood and mastered time and money enough so that they’re successful and lazy as well. How did they do it? In a great many different creative ways of course — everyone is absolutely unique and develops their own unique methods that lead them to success. The way I did it was so simple that I can teach it to nearly everyone:

The day I turned 30, I took a sheet of paper and wrote “Ideal Scene” at the top. Then I dared to dream the kind of life I wanted ideally. It included financial success, but it also included having
a life of ease. I didn’t want to work too hard. I wanted plenty of time for other creative things, and for family, and fun. In fact — ideally — I wanted to be pretty lazy a lot of the time. That’s my natural inclination, and has been since I was a kid.

My ideal is to work when I feel like it, and not work when I feel like doing something else, especially if it involves lying down flat on my back.

I started affirming that I was becoming successful — in fact I was creating the life of my dreams — in an easy and relaxed manner, a healthy and positive way, in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all.

After I affirmed it a few thousand times over a few years, some pretty remarkable changes started happening in my life — including going from rags to riches, in my own lazy way.

Is it possible to be lazy and productive at the same time?

Absolutely. Most of us think that we have to be active all the time to be really productive. And where does that lead? To burnout, or illness, or something else that limits or destroys your productivity. But if we allow ourselves to be lazy, what happens for almost every healthy being is that after a period of time, we wake up one day and find we’re filled with energy. There’s nothing we’d rather do than be highly productive.

So many people feel they have to work 40 or 50 or even 60 hours a week — but half the time, they’re not being productive anyway. Sometimes during the day it would be far better to take a nap, because you wake up with more energy and get more done in the long run.

I live my ideal week: I don’t do mornings, ever. I have no plans before noon. I don’t do Mondays either: That’s my day to myself, with no plans at all (my favorite day of the week).

When I go into my office Tuesday afternoon, I’m energized. I really look forward to it — there’s nothing I’d rather be doing. I work Tuesday through Thursday afternoons, usually. Friday afternoon is a swing day — I might work or do something else. Saturday I’m at home. And Sunday is family day — I never work on Sunday.

That’s a fairly lazy week — I usually don’t work much over 20 or 25 hours a week. But it’s enough: I’ve built a company that has fulfilled my dreams in every way, including financially, for the past 30 years.

There will be more on this on our next teleconference!

My Next Free Teleseminar: Work Smarter, Not Harder--July 6 and July 9

Please join my next free teleseminar, Work Smarter, Not Harder, on Wednesday, July 6, and Saturday, July 9.   

It happens only when I am still
Then, sometimes, a small voice comes
Whispering in my heart
Words that guide my life
Words that know the power of words
To change the world
Yes
Words create our world
Sustain and destroy our world
And that is why
The dreamers are the saviors of the world ork Smarter, Not Harder

That last line is from James Allen, in As You Think: "The dreamers are the saviors of the world." Great success begins with a dream. Working skillfully, working smarter not harder, begins with first daring to dream and then daring to write a plan to reach that dream. It's as simple as that.

The stock market is up today, and I earned more money today, doing absolutely nothing (except writing some of this), than I earned in total in the first 35 years of my life. (Of course, when it goes down I lose more money than I made in my first 35 years - but, in the long run, the stock market is still a good place to have some of your assets.) I've learned something over the years about the great wisdom of the phrase we've all heard a hundred times:

Work smarter, not harder.

When I was 30 I decided to start a publishing company. I had no money, no job, and no knowledge of business. I simply decided to do it and started affirming In an easy and relaxed manner, a healthy and positive way, I am creating total success. Sometimes I'd add in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all. And I discovered over the years how powerful those repeated affirmations can be.

The first five years of the company, however, were chaos. We lost money every month. I was affirming that I was creating success, but I was blocking the power of those words to become fulfilled thru my doubts, frustrations, fears, and limited thinking.

During the first five years we kept consulting with other people, trying to find the right mentor, someone that would take our hands and guide us. We learned a lot from other people during those years, but no one stepped up and told us how to run the show. I finally realized I had to be that person.

I can probably trace the moment that my company began to be successful - it was the moment I stopped looking for someone else to guide me because I finally realized, after five years of looking elsewhere, that the best possible guide was within me.

The best possible guide and mentor for you
is within you.

Instead of asking other people the important questions you have, ask yourself first. See what answers you get.

Ask the teacher and visionary within you for
guidance, and you'll get it.

Ask and you will receive.

I often just wander around my yard asking myself questions. (I remember a phrase from an old Buffalo Springfield song: Well hello, Mr. Soul, I dropped by to pick up a reason. Whoever wrote
that song was doing exactly the same thing.) I ponder things, just by asking myself questions, and then quietly listen and hear what words emerge.

Over the years I've often pondered the words Work smarter, not harder. I stroll around and ask myself, What do those words mean? I know they're meaningful words, important words, words that can help me tremendously.

A funny thing happens with words and phrases like that: They're so obviously true that they're repeated, over and over and we've heard them so many times that we just blow them off because they're clichés. Oh yeah, the mind says, I've heard that before. I know that.

Yes, we've heard it before, but do we really know what it means? Has it had any effect in our lives? I've always had the sense with that phrase - and with so many other great words - that if we really understand those words, they can be applied in our lives. They can change our lives. That is how powerful they are!

Work smarter, not harder.

What do those words mean? I've gotten many different answers to that question over the years. Here are a few of them:

(1) Hard work is not the answer.

This runs counter to a lot of our early conditioning. Doesn't it take hard work to succeed? Isn't working hard a virtue?

It is, to a point. But our society has taken it to an extreme, and the result is a workaholic, Type-A culture that has forgotten to relax and enjoy life. Don't work too hard. Take it easy, in fact. In the long run, working with ease will accomplish more than working from stress.

(2) Dare to dream. Look at the big picture.

These words are powerful, life-changing words:

The dreamers are the saviors
of the world.

- James Allen, As You Think

(3) Make a plan.

What does it mean to work smart? It obviously means looking at the big picture, your long-terms goals, and then making a plan.

To work smart is to set a clear, concrete goal in your mind, and to keep focusing on that goal and taking whatever steps can lead you to that goal.

These are just some of the words that come to me when I ask myself what it means to work smarter, not harder. Sometimes the words I hear from within are words I've heard elsewhere, from James Allen, Eckhart Tolle, Jesus, Buddha, Thoreau, Gandhi, Martin Luther King or many others. Sometimes the words are completely original, as far as I know.

The most powerful words for you are the words you hear in your mind when you ask yourself questions and then listen silently for the answers.

The best answers are those
that come from within you.

Work smarter, not harder.
Dare to dream, make a plan, and go for it,
one small step at a time.

There will be more on this in our next teleseminar.

Be well, be in peace.

My Next Free Teleseminar: Three Simple Secrets of Success--June 1, 2011

Three Simple Secrets of Success:
Set Your Course, Keep Correcting It,
and Don’t Dream Too Small

Please join my next free teleseminar, Three Simple Secrets of Success, on Wednesday, June 1.    

Great success is the result of a great many steps,
all moving toward a clearly defined goal.
That is the secret of manifestation.

When we dare to dream, when we set a goal, we set a course for ourselves. If that goal is expansive — if we dare to dream about the most wonderful kind of life we can first imagine and then create for ourselves — doubts and fears will inevitably come up.

The two most important things we can do is (1) set our course, and (2) deal with the doubts and fears that arise.

Once we have set a goal, the journey of our lives becomes like the flight of an airplane: A plane is off course over 95 percent of the time, but the pilot keeps correcting, over and over, until the destination is reached.

How do we make this course correction during all the activities of our daily lives? In many, many cases it can just take remembering one phrase. The essence, the essential teachings, of so many books and seminars and mentors can be summed up in one phrase. And it just takes that one phrase — and sometimes just one word — to remind us of what we know.

When we’re frustrated, depressed, confused, upset, sad, or angry we have wandered off course again. We get off course, over and over, and need to reset our course. How can we do this? It can be as easy as picking a phrase, almost at random, and repeating that phrase over and over.

Pick a phrase, any phrase that works for you. Here’s a great one from James Allen you’ve probably heard me spout before, for I say it often:

You will be what you will to be….

When spirit rises and commands,

the gods are ready to obey.

When you dare to dream, and dare to make a clear, focused goal, the creative energy of the Universe rushes in to support that dream. Spout one phrase like that and you’re back on course.

Go to any book that inspires you, or grab your audio player, and read and listen until you find the right phrase, the phrase that will get you back on course. I put these phrases up in big type on my wall, and keep them there until they’re indelibly etched in my mind.

I pondered this phrase for months:

To offer no resistance to life

is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness.

— Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

Just quietly repeating those words fills you with grace, ease, and lightness — and you’re back on course, able to focus on your dream, your goal, and take the next obvious little step toward it.

All kinds of things can get us back on course. Remember some book you’ve read or course you’ve taken that inspired you. What was it that you learned? Remember it, again.

We all know this.

We all know the keys to success;

they’re not complicated; they’re simple.

We just keep forgetting them, over and over,

and need to be reminded of them, over and over.

Listen to a talk by Eckhart Tolle, or to anyone who inspires you at the moment. It might just be one phrase you take with you through the rest of the day that keeps you on course.

Great art gets us back on course, showing us that all of creation (including us!) is a miracle. Music gets us back on course, reminding us that life is extraordinary. Rebecca West gave us a great key here:

“You are allowed to read the newspapers now.

I hope you will not attach too much importance to them.

They give you a picture of an ordinary world that does not exist.

You must always believe that life is as extraordinary as music says it is.”

—   Rebecca West, The Fountain Overflows

A sunset… an infant’s shining eyes… a dog or a cat… a flower springing through a crack in the sidewalk… a tree in the wind… a bird on the wing… these words right now: It all reminds us of the wonder if what is.

And we’re back on course; we remember again that we’re phenomenal beings, each gifted in our own ways, and filled with the gift of life. We have something special to share with the world. We have a dream, and we’re taking the next steps in front of us that lead us to realize that dream. One small step at a time is all we need to take.

One small affirmation is all we need at times. Find the words that inspire you and repeat them, like a prayer or a mantra. Words like this:

In an easy and relaxed manner,

a healthy and positive way,

in its own perfect time, for the highest good of all,

I am now living the life of my dreams.

Keep repeating words like that and see what happens.


Remember: we can be off course over ninety-five percent of the time and still reach our destination. We just need to keep correcting our course, over and over. Many, many times the only thing we need to do to correct our course again is just to remember one phrase.


What words inspire you at this moment? What do you want to keep reminding yourself throughout the day?

A close friend of mine once met a wealthy man at a party on his yacht. He was strolling around, having a drink, dressed very casually in his bathrobe. My friend is one of those people who can make a conversation memorable, and take it into meaningful places. She went up to him and asked, “What’s the secret of success?”

He told her one of those too-simple phrases, one of those obvious things that your subconscious mind at first completely rejects. He just said:

“Don’t dream too small.”

That’s obvious, right? It’s simple. Your subconscious mind may blow it off, thinking it’s way too simple. But it’s also brilliant; it’s a great piece of advice that I’ve taken to heart.

It’s all a matter of persuading your subconscious mind to work with you rather than against you. It involves changing old, limiting conditioning deep in your subconscious mind. Our subconscious minds have no limits, other than those we impose upon ourselves through our own limiting beliefs.

Dare to dream — maybe even an impossible dream — and go for it. You’ll never regret it.

Focus on your dream.

Your focus becomes your reality.

If you could create the life of your dreams,

what would it look like?

Think about it. Maybe even put your answer in writing. Then see what happens. It will be extraordinary, if you dare dream expansively.

First imagine how you can create your base of support, where you live abundantly, and then dream even more expansively to see how you can help make the world a better place for all.

This is the Great Work ahead of us.

There will be more on this on our next teleconference. 

I hope you can make it!
