Six Steps to Create an Instant Shift in your Results
Author: Melanie Benson Strick  | Posted: 02-08-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 8 | Rating: (50)  (?) 
What would you do if you knew that you could change your results in an instant? Would you create more money? More fun? More freedom? The ideal relationship?
I'd like to share with you a story about John.
John, a real estate agent, listed 2 properties. Three months later John was quite frustrated that these two properties hadn't moved quickly. He had tried everything - lowering the prices, advertising, leaving the house open all weekend long, sprucing up the listing, etc.
The worse part of all was that no one was even showing them!
John became sullen. He had succumbed to buying into the negative stories about the real estate marketing being bad. He started to tell everyone he came across how bad the market is and talked non-stop about how his money source was drying up. He started to feel sick a lot and had no energy. It was almost as if John had given up somehow.
So I let John in on a little secret.
It isn't a new secret to everyone, but it seemed to be new to John.
What you focus on expands. If you don't like your results, you need to change your thoughts.
OK, many of you might think this is really simple. And John did too. He challenged me and said, literally, 'That's Crap! How can changing the way I think about something change my results? Are you saying that I can create my cold? Or that I created the house sales to slow down?' Well, yes, sort of.
Here is the deal. There are laws that work all the time, no matter what, just like gravity. If you know how to work with the law, you will be tapped into the secret that will get you everything you dream about. If you don't, you will continue to feel frustrated and overwhelmed with life. I'd like to share my insights on this secret with Six Steps To Create an Instant Shift in Your Results.
1. Change your thinking. This is where it all begins. Knowing that the law of focus means that what you think about will expand in your life, then if you aren't getting the results you want, it would make sense to focus on what you DO want, right? Right.
2. Feel what it is like to live the outcome NOW. Sometimes thinking positively isn't enough. That's why affirmations alone don't' always work. In the ULTIMATE Business Breakthrough Intensive we conduct a process that helps you feel what its like to really live a life of ultimate success. That feeling sets off an electric vibration - almost like a magnet. Imagine all the juicy details of your life as if your desired outcome is already there!
3. Reverse engineer the vision. Reverse engineering literally means 'take apart a finished product to see how it works.' In all of my coaching programs I teach people how to see the result they want, then put themselves out there in their mind and look back over who they needed to be and what they needed to do to actually achieve it. It's easier to see the steps this way.
4. Be in focused action. Take action to support feeling as if it's already real. If it's about attracting money, you must begin to make choices in your head as if you are already wealthy. I'm not saying spend money you don't have. I'm saying you may need to create new habits, new to-do lists, or make new choices to be in alignment with being wealthy. If you keep doing what doesn't work, you can't energetically connect with the new results you want.
5. Get grateful. How often during the day do you focus on what you already have? Do you think, 'I'm so lucky that I have my own business?' or are you focused on everything you don't have? Do you cherish the people in your life or do you ruminate about the partner who left you last? Being grateful is part of how you shift away from what you don't want and turn on the attraction magnet.
6. Surround yourself with yes's. This little trick is worth thousands. You must create an environment where focused 'yes' thoughts can occur. If you are a farmer who needs a crop of beautiful corn to grow would you plant it in cement? No, you would plant it in fertile soil and give it lots of water and sunshine. If you are planting new seeds of positive outcomes in your life but you continue to surround yourself with negative, limited thinking people and situations you will choke off the new growth. Or at a minimum, find a lot of weeds in your garden that stifle you.
Here is what I want you to do now.
Think of ONE THING that you would like different in your life right now. It could be money, new opportunities, time off, a new client lead source - whatever. Now, make a commitment to clearly define this new outcome in your life and when it will be true. Then every day for 14 days, follow the 'shift' process above. Now just get ready for amazing shifts in your life. You might even notice them today.
What ever happened to John?
Four hours after John put the 'shift' process into action; he called me and said, 'I sold the condo today. And I've had 10 calls on the house and two potential offers coming into tonight.' I asked John what changed and he said, 'I did. I changed my attitude about these houses. I sat there and I saw myself selling those two houses today. And this time, something was different. I felt it!'
Now it's your turn. Time to get your shift and achieve all your goals.

Father needs help protecting children
By: tuotsjd | 20-10-2007
I wanted full custody of my 2 children due to neglect and physical abuses taking place between my ex and her boyfriend. I was put thru things that I thought people made up in books about fathers wanting physical custody. I was drained of everything and settled for joint. My ex buffaloed the courts. She has a new boyfriend of 2 years. My children are telling me horrible things going on (just as with her previous boyfriend)such as them hitting eachother and her moving them out 3 times. The only proof I have is what my children are telling me and the fact that the teachers at there school says both children are struggling. My children are afraid to talk because of what will happen to them and they do want to live with me. Should I stick with my original attorney or search for an aggressive one? Should I have a separate attorney for my children (8 & 10 yrs.old)? My children were severally maniputaled last time we went to court, literally grilled the previous night of court on what to say and not say. Can I stop this from happening? They live in Lancaster, CA. Is there any aggressive,strategic attorneys that you may recommend ion that are or L.A.? Thank you. D.Newman

Advanced Strategy to Sell More T-shirts

Plenty of t-shirt sites offer specials. Buy three get one free, free shipping of orders totaling a certain amount, percentage off an order and a bunch of others to increase the amount of the purchase. One method that isn't seen too often is the standard up sell. Many large online retailers use this method successfully, but it appears that most t-shirt sellers have been convinced that the shortest path to checkout is the most successful which it may not always be.
