To be deaf to false information, bad advice and negativity is a discipline that must be practiced by those that want to make their dreams come true. This is especially true during times of turmoil and uncertainity. The world is overpopulated, not with people, but with bad news and even worse advice. "The only people I take advice from are those that have proven themselves not by what they say, but the products of their life!"
Even the American Medical Association believes your mental state is largely responsible for your physical well being, suggesting that even the best of treatments fail those that don't believe. Statistics validate that environments that are mostly destructive, rather than creative, results in people with poorer health, live shorter lives and have less. These contagious and destructive environments are not restricted to a certain economic class of people or third world countries but can include the school room, the work place and even the kitchen table at home where the parent rages on the children about what is not possible!
People go to great lengths to protect themselves from the flu, but do nothing to protect themselves from bad news, false information and poor advice.
Consider this the next time someone offers their 'free' advice:
BE DEAF WHEN SOMEONE SAY YOU CAN’T!
by Grant Cardone
Be DEAF when someone says you cannot do it!
Be DEAF when someone says it is impossible!
Be DEAF when anyone tries to put limits on you!
For these people that make efforts to limit you and suggest that you cannot fulfill your dreams are dangerous people. These people have given up on their dreams and seek to convince you to do the same.
And do not be confused by them when they suggest that they are only trying to help you! Help is not what they offer, what they really seek to do is have you join the ranks of slaves, the apathetic and the hopeless.
Be DEAF to all of them!

Take the Challenge
By: Amanda Harvey | 30/11/2009Take the challenge! Whatever it is that you dream of in your life, look for ways to begin making your dreams come true. When you find an opportunity, no matter how big or small, or how scary, summon every ounce of courage you can, and dare to try. The only real failure in life is the failure to try, so make a leap of faith whenever you can.

Car Dealers: Great Entrepreneurs and Cash for Clunkers
By: Grant Cardone | 31/08/2009 | Business2009-08-18-Clunkers_080109.jpg I don't believe any set of entrepreneurs could have gotten more out of a government program than car dealers did with the recent Cash for Clunkers, and they should be applauded for making the most of it. I wonder if any group of entrepreneurs from any other industry could have made so much out of this opportunity. Dealers fully maximized this government subsidy opportunity...
