Now that’s a very bold statement and I can’t blame you if you think that’s just another one of those throw away cliches.

We hear them all the time of course and most of the words simply flow through the air, we hear them but they do not register and the moment passes without any action being taken.

But today I beg you to pay attention. Read those words again:-

“Today is the day you begin a new way of being and create your dream lifestyle.”

Because, today, if you decide it to be, can be the new beginning for you. The day you finally start to create the dream lifestyle you have always imagined for yourself.

Perhaps just once in a lifetime an opportunity that is so powerful and relevant to you as an individual presents itself – and today it may be that you have come to this page to seek that very special opportunity.

Click the video above (it will open a new tab to access the video series) – I honestly  think you’ll be inspired to watch more. I know there’s an opt-in but PLEASE do sign up and watch the videos. In particular Chapter 2 of the free “Power Pause” you’ll be given access to. If you’ve ever struggled in life with money problems you’ll find this inspirational.

I’ve been waiting for this new beginning. This change. I’ve been talking about creating your perfect lifestyle for years but have had difficulty in finding the right teacher to help others achieve their dreams.

The reason why I’m so enthusiastically recommending you watch these videos is that I know about the technical side of running a successful business from home. I know all about the challenges and the joys of being your own boss and the issues faced when working alone from your home office. But above all I know that to be successful there is one crucial factor that most business opportunities overlook. And the videos provide the answer.

That one issue is ALWAYS the difference between success and failure and yet so little is made of it. Most “gurus” focus on the “system”; the “methods”; the “tactics”; the “technical issues” and virtually all of them avoid the biggest and most influence element…

The Mindset

Although I know this to be fact and have spent years reading, researching and listening to “motivational” tapes (told you it’s been a long time!) and CDs/DVDs I have never found the teacher who is so in tune with the way I need to hear these things – until today!

I was introduced to John Harricharan just yesterday and I know that the teacher that I want to help my readers and members at Lifestyle Created has arrived.

I urge you to (no, I’ll be more foreceful – I insist you) watch the video you’ll find behind the link below. I’m sure you will be moved, inspired, and transformed. Don’t stop at the first video – watch them all – there’s 12 there already and more to come.

If you’re not familiar with John Harricharan, let me tell you a bit about him…

You will probably have heard the saying: “When the student is ready, the teacher appears.”

Well for me that seems to have been so true. John is one of these guys that “appears” during such a time… When you’re ready to learn some of the deepest secrets of life.

John has helped thousands upon thousands of people discover the true secret of creating success in life, effortlessly, with joy and happiness.

What John has to share is profound. Most of us are taught that to live an incredible life there are certain things we have to DO. Certain things, like getting a good education, working hard etc etc

Although this is true, to a degree, in reality, there is so much more.

The reality is this… success, abundance, prosperity, these are all WAYS OF BEING.

Seamless Flow

Have you ever wondered why some people’s lives seem to flow almost seamlessly?

As if anything they touch turns into gold, abundance in all forms surrounds them all the time…
…friends, health, relationships, and money.

To be honest, I sometimes find myself feeling envious when I see that they’re not any smarter than me and they seem to work less hard!

The Struggle

While others, perhaps you included, seem to constantly “struggle”, and have the same problems come into their lives day after day, month after month, year after year?

Most people struggle to achieve success… Most people struggle, throughout their life, without the “success” at all.

In fact, “struggling” is almost like a disease that most of us get “infected” with very early in our lives.

How would it feel if you could tap into a power that allowed you to effortlessly create success and abundance in any area of your life? What if you could attract what you
wanted into your life, instead of having to chase it all the time?

All these amazing things are all really just “side-effects” that happen in your life when you tap into a new way of being.

Very soon, John and a good friend of his, Kacper Postawski, are putting on a very special event called:

“Begin A New Way Of Being”

The Event

During this event, you’ll see how to get deeply grounded in this way of “being” – so that you too can create incredible success in life – by being in alignment with Universal Laws
and Principles, to experience success as a birth-right, as a natural part of your life that “just comes to you” – instead of effort & struggle.

Before the event, they are publishing some incredible, life-changing video presentations that I’m sure will help you tremendously in experiencing this new way of being. I’ve watched them already and they are excellent.

What I really I like about John is the way he teaches this profound knowledge.

He teaches these principles through telling you stories alive with rich detail, with words that drip like honey into a part of your soul you may have lost touch with over the years…

When you listen to John, it’s kind of like listening to your favorite song over and over again, except it never gets old, it just strikes a deep chord inside of your heart which gives you these “aha” moments as you say to yourself “yes – I know this, this is true, this is what I’ve been waiting for all these years”

There’s no cost to watch these videos (apart from the customary email sign up) and this is honestly one goldmine of information that you need to access if you really do want change in your life.

So I’ll say it again – “Today is the day you begin a new way of being” – but only if you take some action.

There are all kinds of reasons why people procrastinate. Some do it because they don’t like the task, others because other things mean more to them, and still other people might be struggling with depression, sickness, or just feeling down. Sometimes it can be as simple as just not knowing where to start. No matter what your reasons for procrastinating, you can take control and get things done.

Identify What Really Matters to You

It’s important to be able to do things that you want to do, but the reality is that someone has to take out the garbage, wash the dishes, or complete that long-winded business report. There should be a healthy balance between things you must do and things you do simply for pleasure.

Of course, what you like to do won’t necessarily be the same as what someone else enjoys, and that’s just fine. Some people like to clean their homes. Others prefer to pay someone to clean so they can do something else. Neither person is wrong, nor should they try to convince the other person to change. They are both focused on what they enjoy doing.

If you want to stop procrastinating, your first step is to determine:

• What you absolutely have to do
• What others have told you that you have to do
• What you can get others to do for you – either volunteer or paid

When you’ve been totally truthful with yourself and worked out what really matters to you, you can focus on the tasks that you simply must get done.

Give Yourself A Treat

Ensure you give yourself a small reward whenever you achieve something. In other words, avoid doing a lot of tasks that you don’t enjoy without treating yourself.

It’s important that you reward yourself for doing things you don’t like doing. The reward should be simple and realistic, but also something that you can look forward to. A treat can be anything from a scoop of ice cream to your favorite movie to taking a walk under the stars – whatever brings you joy.

For example, you can tell yourself, “When I finish cleaning the kitchen, I’ll read another chapter in that book I enjoy.” You’ll be more likely to finish cleaning faster if you know you can do something fun afterward.

More Tips to Stop Procrastinating

Rewarding yourself is a great way to stop procrastinating and making unwanted tasks more enjoyable so that you’re more inclined to get them done also works.

Try these techniques to convince yourself to complete those tasks:

1. Get others involved. Need to paint your house? Get your family or friends involved and then enjoy some time together afterward. Order a pizza. Watch a movie. Play in the yard. Do something that makes you feel joyful and connected. This way, you can actually look forward to it!

2. Do one thing each day. Divide the task up into more manageable bits. For example, rather than cleaning your entire house in one day, just clean one or two rooms each day, on a schedule of your choosing. When you do that, the smaller tasks seem much easier to handle and you won’t spend your entire weekend cleaning.

3. Set realistic deadlines and goals. If you set unrealistic goals, it’s easy to get discouraged. Avoid discouragement by setting goals and deadlines that are attainable. Your confidence and motivation soar when you know you can achieve what you set out to accomplish.

Overcoming procrastination takes work and some time, but it’s something that anyone can do. Start right now – make a commitment to yourself to stop procrastinating and start moving forward with your life.

You can take control, and you’ll be glad you did as you find yourself reaching your goals and enjoying more free time. You’ll also find that tasks you avoided become just routine and you don’t fret over them anymore.

I don’t know her name – even now.

We never spoke.

When I say “shared” breakfast what I mean is I watched her eat. Shortly afterwards she put on her makeup, in between making a few calls on her mobile.

I’d only first caught site of her.

And this is why I could never return to being a commuter!

… I had to go into London (the reason is unimportant) and rather than sit on traffic, pump out exhaust and pay an unsavoury “congestion charge” I decided it made more sense to take the train.

After buying part of the car park and the train (the cost before 9.30 am is beyond a joke) I found my way to a less crowded part of the platform and boarded the train. There were a few seats free and I sat on a 2 facing 2 area.

She followed me on to the train and sat opposite.

She was looking a little dishelvelled.

Within a minute the area of the  train where we were sitting had transformed itself into a kitchen!

First there was the banana. Not too bad. Then came the apple. Far to green and crunchy. How a good looking girl can think she is attractive making the row she did I just don’t know.

That was followed by the yogurt. At least a spoon was used but frankly the mess that was made she may have been better of using her fingers.

It was all washed down with a Starbucks coffee. You’d think they’d make those cardboard cups differently so they didn’t slurp every time they’re lifted to your lips.

By now I was seriously wishing I could move elsewhere but the train was now overloaded but at least it appearred breakfast was over.

What a delight then when out came the mobile dressing table. It wasn’t quite a full sixe mirrow but had the sun been shining there may well have been snipers taking pot shots at the train due to the flashes of light.

Out came the trowel and after an age mixing some creams the artist began her latest creation.

I really tried not to look but I was fascinated in not only how she could do what she was doing on a train that was bouncing along the tracks but also what was going through her mind.

There was no embarrassment – she was at times talking at the top of her voice to someone at the other end of the mobile phone giving them a running commentary on her make-over progress.

She clearly couldn’t care less about her fellow travellers – what they thought of her, the noise she made as she was eating, the fact the whole carriage could hear her conversation.

But after half an hour or so – she quitened down. Everything had been put away from whence it came. She was, in fact, looking stunning.

The train pulled in to London and the butterfly that had emerged from the dishevelled crysallis that got on the train less than hour ago went off to work to a place where nobody would believe the transformation I had witnessed.

Yes it was an eye-opener but I certainly wouldn’t want to go back to a daily commute, sharing a kitchen and bedroom like that everyday.

No, give me the relative boredom of a quick shuffle across the hallway to my home office any day – I just love the work from home lifestyle!

OK, we’ve had a little more snow that in recent years but it seems from the news the country has come more or less to a standstill.

Roads are covered in ice (not enough grit to go round – oh yes, sorry I forgot we don’t normally need it in the winter!). Airports are closed. Trains and buses stopped running.

People struggling to get to work, taking 3 or 4 times longer than normal to get to a place where the extra effort is not appreciated to do a job they hate.

Is that any way to live?

And here I am looking out of my office window at the beauty of nature. I’ve played with the kids – because I have the choice to do so – not because I couldn’t get in  to work.

I don’t have the pressure of a boss expecting me to fight my way in to the office. I have no demands placed upon me. I have no clients demanding my attention or my presence at meetings. Corporate life? No thank you – that’s a thing of the past for me.

As I was thinking about this post I got to thinking about how we ended up in this sorry mess. I guess it must have been the Industrial Revolution or something after which life changed.

Have you ever thought, I mean really thought, about why we all follow some long dead idiots’ rules about how we should life our lives?

Why, oh why, do we all subscribe to this ridiculous pattern of:

School – 9am to say 4pm

Work – 9am to 5pm (if you’re lucky but more like 7am to 7pm with travel time)

Retirement at 65 – time to do what we want at last – only we can’t because we didn’t earn enough to create a big enough nest egg

Of course, in the times of factories having to work at maximum capacity that model made sense – at least it did for the owners and the workers enjoyed regular work and thus pay. But who cared about the conditions? Who then decided that we had to work all day every weekday in whatever field we chose to work?

Sorry, but if that’s the life for you – you are most welcome to it. It’s not for me anymore. I want to be responsible for deciding on my own lifestyle.

The work all hours possible, corporate treadmill is an outdated and frankly, extremely unattractive model.

We should work when we need to and only then to generate a sizeable profit for our endeavours. Trading our time for income is a ridiculous notion. Surely that’s why we educate ourselves. So we are able to offer more of a service because of our training, experience and/or knowledge. That makes us more valuable BUT hopefully much more valuable than we could realistically charge as an hourly rate and certainly more than an employer would pay.

The only way to generate our true worth is to run our own business – preferably with multiple streams of income from a variety of sources – where we are not confined by a cap on earnings or the “generosity” of an employer to dish out bonuses.

This summer I’m planning on spending 5 weeks in Spain. That would be impossible if I was employed but for me it’s just a matter of deciding!

Now that’s what I call the Freedom Lifestyle.

So if you are still wondering why you do it (the daily commute, the thankless job) – go ahead, think about starting your own internet business, part time at first maybe, and create your own work from home lifestyle.

Let me know if you need any encouragement or ideas how to go about it.

I recently found myself struggling with a new project I’m working on. Everything seemed so difficult and I simply wasn’t making any progress.

I took some time out, got a cup of tea (yes, I know, terribly British of me) and read a few emails.

One inspired me to write a post at my Bob Proctor’s Science of Getting Rich site because it hit home with exactly what I was experiencing at that time.

I’d found myself paddling upstream, fighting everything instead of getting in the flow.

The universe was telling me I was working on the wrong project.

And here’s the real hard bit; the real challenge; the do I or don’t I moment

Should I trust my instincts and my heart and what I was being told or should I carry on with the project regardless?

It’s easy to reach a conclusion to go either way but much more of a challenge to actually see the decision through.

1. Sticking with the project (we’ll call in Project one)

• That would entail more struggle – I still wasn’t progressing

• It would be the obvious thing to do as I was sure I was on the right path

• It would mean some toying with the idea of spending money on a top quality copywriter or to try to come up with a masterpiece myself. And that’s not my forte nor was I getting any inspiration as to0 the angle I needed

• It would be easier to go on with something I was already working on rather than find something else

2. Postponing the project and moving on

• I could easily accuse myself of jumping ship

• I could argue I was flitting from idea to something better that wouldn’t get completed either!

• I didn’t know what the alternative project was at that point!

• It may be much easier to complete

The balance looked in favour of completing the project I was working on, but something kept niggling away and I decided I would look to go with the flow.

As soon as that decision was made things “miraculously” started to fall into place!

One of the DVDs  I was planning on promoting (Project one) contained some live footage of Bob Proctor (The Secret). I decided to watch it or rather I was “attracted” to watch it.

That led me to follow up on a reminder that popped up on my screen to revisit the Science of Getting Rich affiliate program.

Something was at work and I found I was definitely in the flow. I quickly created a new site, a new blog post promoting the site and I initiated a Synnd campaign to generate the Social Buzz I wanted around the project. I’d set up a new autoresponder series and created an opt-in on the blog.

All within a few hours of making the decision I should not be struggling but going with the flow.

I’m now writing an e-book for that project and the words are flowing.

And the real revelation?

I’ve seen how simply I can fit Project One into the back end of the new project.

So thanks to that one email, Bob Proctor’s Science of Getting Rich program and a leap of faith I took a massive leap forward with not only the project I was struggling with but created a new one virtually out of thin air to go with it.

I love this Law of Attraction thing sometimes!

When I started blogging I just blogged! No thought about who would really read what I posted. Actually, that’s not strictly true. I imagined the world was waiting with baited breath ready to cling on to my every word.

But then after studying how to get visitors to my sites I realised that it took much more than a reasonable post & hitting the publish button.

So I embarked on a program of writing content that people were searching for and using appropriate tags, keywords and categories to meet the search engine criteria.

Sounds less than 100% spontaneous I know but it became easy enough as all I needed to do was weave the words people were searching for into my posts.

But today my motivation is something very different.

And the cardinal sin…

I’m just writing this for me. I don’t know if anyone will be looking for this or whether they’ll even read it.

But today I just have to reach out to the universe and hope that someone or something cares!

I’m so tired of being the person that everyone depends on, the person everyone comes to with their problems, the guy who knows the answers. I’m tired of being the crutch for what seems like everyone in my personal life and my business life…

How do I do this?

What should I do about that?

So what should I do?

Can you?

Today, my motivation for writing this is that sometimes in life we hit a brick wall head on. There is no answer. There is no one to turn to. There is nobody there able to tell you what to do.

And that’s where I find myself today.

I don’t know the answer and I don’t know who to turn to!

So you actually want to know what this insurmountable problem is do you?

I’m not sure you really do!

It has nothing to do with business and for most parents they’ll never face this challenge – at least not in the extreme.

What do you do when your child absolutely refuses to go to school!

The school has virtually stated it cannot meet the child’s needs.

You can’t find the real reason for the refusal.

There’s no point in insisting – it’s like trying to pull a wild animal in towards a fire. If it doesn’t want to go it won’t.

And the school’s solution “bring the child screaming and kicking – we have to set the boundaries”

Oh, yes. That works – like turn your back for a second,  you have a runner and another challenge to deal with!

So much for the so called “experts” who are expert in nothing other than telling you they’re experts!

And now I’m left feeling that it’s my fault because the solution is to drag a distraught child to the school and leave the uncaring experts to deal with the situation!

Oh, yes. The punishment for leaving the school without permission (the very condition that causes the upset results in stress, anxiety and running from facing up to matters)…

Detention!!!           and that equals…  more refusal.

And the positive in all of this?

I work from home. I don’t have a boss that’s going to give me a hard time or fire me for not being there!

I’m in control of my time and can manage my life and business around such challenges.

But, how nice would it be to ask somebody else “what should I do about this” and be able to rely on them sorting it all out for me!

Thank you for listening – I feel much better.

Unless you have cash to last a lifetime a work from home online business is probably the best way to integrate making money with your desired lifestyle.

Image via Wikipedia

So much rubbish is written online about internet riches, overnight fortunes being made and instant millionaire creating products. As a result many people simply avoid any mention of an online business and yet if you know what you are doing an online business may well be the perfect solution for you.

No more rushing to get the train to work or sitting in traffic wasting away your life. Work when you want in a niche you love. But…

It is not a magic formula

Despite the hype, there is no such thing as a plug and go, turnkey, cash spilling system that will make you your fortune overnight. Everything comes at a price and an online internet business is no different.

There may be a steep learning curve and it will involve you in some good old fashioned hard work. But, there are some great systems that will make your life so much easier and give you a head start because much of the work is done for you.

Here’s my word of warning – before you jump onto a product because you’ve read a great salesletter and have been convinced by the testimonials and promises think very carefully about the type of business you want to be involved in. Think through what you want the business to do for you and what commitment you can make to it.

For example, do you want to earn an extra $1,000 a month to cover the cost of say a dream car? Or do you want a full blown business that can replace your existing income? Or are you looking to build an empire that you can ultimately sell for a small fortune?

Whatever your objectives, if you’ve not run a business before you need to learn the basics first or you’ll simply run into a brick wall.

The main reason why I’m so positive about working online is that you can succeed in virtually any market, with little experience and with no prior list of customers. Of course, it is more difficult, but there is evidence everywhere of people making money in obscure little niches without a big budget or indeed massive traffic to the site.

Will that work for everyone? Almost certainly not BUT with the right information and support it can be done.

When I first started online I followed a course by a guy called Michael Cheney and everything fell into place.

He is now about to launch his Golden Thread product (it will only be available for a very short time period so if you are reading this after mid October 2008 the doors will be closed) and this promises to be a fantastic start for anyone looking to start a work from home online business.

Although there will be some work to do, everything from website page, script, products to sell and full training will be provided.

You can read my review of this product at Cash Cannons

If you are looking to start an online business watch the video at Michael’s page about a work from home mom who makes around $1,000 a month from a very small number of visitors to her website. In fact it’s only one page, so not even a website really. This should be an inspiration to us all.

So whether you want a little extra income or a full time work from home online business you can learn something from Michael’s videos – whether your interested in his product or not.

Working from home is brilliant. It has some drawbacks for sure but the many, many benefits far outweigh those.

Unfortunately, for most people they cannot simply move what they currently do into a home based business.

• Work on an assembly line?
• Customer facing office job?
• Call centre?

Forget it.

So unless you are fortunate enough to be in a job that allows working from home you’ll need to set up your own business.

But who can afford to take such a massive jump with all of the uncertainty and risks attached? Would you know what to do anyway?

The only way most people could consider this is to make a start by setting up something they can do part time initially. At least until some money is flowing in and the confidence that it will work has been gained.

I was in the fortunate position that my original business could easily be run from home but the business itself has too many constraints and doesn’t allow me the lifestyle I really crave. It ties me to the phone and meetings where I really want the freedom to play golf when I want!

About 18 months ago I stumbled across a blog written by an Australian guy named Yaro Starak. He had started his blog almost as a record of his journey as a businessman. He was running a “real world” business but wanted to move more online so that he could control when he worked and allow himself to do what he wanted, when he wanted rather than live in the 9 – 5 world!

Now I’d call Yaro a work from home success. I’ve followed his progress and seen some dramatic changes to the quality of his blog (where he still talks about his journey but also teaches others how to make a living by blogging).

What I particularly like about Yaro is his honesty and admission that he still has things to learn.

He wrote an outstanding post yesterday entitled How To Start An Internet Business in 3 Easy Steps and unlike many blog posts I was captivated enough to read the whole post! It’s not the usual “this is how you get rich quick” nonsense but a well structured piece that highlights the challenges faced by anyone trying to generate an income online.

So many “products” sell the myth that you just “open the box” and add traffic and a world of riches awaits. Unfortunately, getting enough traffic is the number one issue (I’ll testify to that as would most of the commentators at Yaro’s blog)

You may want to learn more about Yaro Starak and his outstanding BlogMastermind program.

This extract from Yaro’s post highlights the very challenges that I faced and I’m sure 99% of everybody with a dream of working from home online also have to deal with.

If It Is So Easy – Why Isn’t Everyone Doing It?

The problems lie in the details. While the explanation I provided in this article may present a process that is conceptually easy enough to understand once you get used to the basics of Internet marketing, pulling it off is difficult.

Most fail at step one – traffic. Despite best intentions and some initial hard work, people are sporadic workers at best, and without some kind of immediate gratification, give up long before results come.

Worse still, many begin an Internet business with existing hindrances that plague their ability to perform – things like mortgages, full time jobs, families to support, ingrained self defeating belief systems, unrealistic expectations, poor work habits, an inability to let go of control or hire help when required, inferiority complexes, low self esteem or all manner of roadblocks can get in the way.

For those who persist long enough minor results come there way, yet after such a long journey and so much effort, they are disappointed and discouraged – they expected to be making better money by now.

I’ll add one further reason why “everyone isn’t doing it”. The list of challenges seems too daunting and it is easier to stick with the devil you know. It’s the “it would be nice but..” syndrome.

I’m sorry to be so blunt but if that’s the way you think you’re just dreaming of a better future and it won’t happen.

You have to take action, you have to be brave and do something to make the lifestyle you want happen. As you will have heard me say before “Nothing Changes Without A Change”

It’s unbelievable. So few people actually set goals and yet they are the same people who complain they don’t achieve success.

Everyday we achieve hundreds of tasks. And most of those, if not all, we do as a result of setting a goal.

Think about it. You have to go to work. Whether you think about it or not you set two subconscious goals:

1. Get to your place of work
2. Get there on time

If you left home with no idea where your place of work was would you get there, let alone get there on time?

As kids we used to play football (soccer) in the park. There were no goals and if we started kicking the ball around we soon got bored.

We needed goals. So we used our jumpers and bags. Why?

Firstly we needed a target. A reason for kicking the ball rather than an aimless exercise.

Secondly, we needed a measurement. How well was each team doing. How well we each of us doing compared to the others.

It’s the same with everything we do in life.

Without a goal we have nothing to shoot at. With nothing to shoot at it doesn’t matter if we miss – we’ll never know.

In my opinion that’s the number one reason why most people don’t set goals. They don’t want to risk failure. Without a measurement neither they nor anybody else will ever know. Are you guilty of that?

But, there is no point in having some vague goal like, to lose weight, to be rich, to change my job. There’s no measurement.

The goal has to be specific as to quantity and time (to have £$5,00 in my bank account within 3 months). But it also has to be achievable. If your mind cannot believe the goal is possible it will sabotage you.

Is it possible to go from broke to a millionaire overnight? Possible (lottery) but highly unlikely. That may be your dream but as it is not realistic it won’t happen because your mind cannot believe it. You need to break your goals down into manageable sections. Then measure your progress and reward yourself for success.

That way your motivation stays high. Your belief system grows – you know you can do anything if you’ve done it once. And your confidence is boosted allowing you to take on new challenges.

Before you watch this video think about what you want and more importantly why. If it doesn’t really matter to you whether you achieve the goal then you won’t.
