My thoughts on the Millionaire Mind Intensive…

The weekend of December 4 – December 6, 2009, I attended T. Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive. Harv is the author of the #1 Best Selling book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. His company is Peak Potentials “one of the fastest growing business and personal success training companies in North America.”

I was invited to the event by the organizer of my Master Mind group. I was very skeptical because I’ve been invited to these types of events before and have been disappointed. Most events are nothing but “glorified” sales and marketing pitches. The Millionaire Mind Intensive was different. I was blown away by the event and it was FREE to attend if you were invited by someone. The event is usually priced at $1,295.

The Millionaire Mind Intensive is for those who are “sick and tired of being sick and tired.” You’re tired of having financial setbacks, living in mediocrity, and not knowing why you haven’t been successful in life. You will receive the answers to your questions.

Attending a Millionaire Mind Intensive requires an open mind. There was a lot of “hi-fiving,” clapping, and dancing — mostly by people who went up on the stage. It may seem a little hokey (I thought this), but keep an open mind and you’ll have a good time.

For those who are familiar with Think and Grow Rich, The Secret, The Master Key System, and the Science of Getting Rich will enjoy the Millionaire Mind Intensive. People at the MMI event are familiar with these books and other self-help books. They constantly work on changing their mindset around money and attend the Millionaire Mind Intensive as a stepping stone to the other courses offered by Peak Potentials.

All of us promised that what happened at the Millionaire Mind Intensive would stay at the Millionaire Mind Intensive, kind of like “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.” Again, I was very skeptical going into the seminar, but my mind was changed by Sunday night. I highly recommend you attend a Millionaire Mind Intensive if you’re fortunate enough to receive a FREE certificate. Not only will you learn the secrets of the rich, you will learn what is holding you back in life and business!

What’s stopping your from having a Millionaire Mind?

Many people compare manifesting your dreams and goals to planting and harvesting a garden. However, gardens do not take that long to grow. You till the soil, plant the seeds, cover them, and then water the seeds. Some people even use MIRACLE GROW to speed up the growth process and to enrich the soil. It does not take 10 to 25 years to grow a garden!

People who are trying to manifest the lives they desire are often told to think of their life as a garden. This is true to a certain point — gardens do not take that long to grow! Telling people this can dampen their spirits because theoretically gardens do not take that long to grow.

Yes, in order to manifest your desires, you must “plant the seeds of your desires.” You must cultivate a positive and powerful mind-set and keep tending to your “desire garden.” But, how long does it take before you see results? Some people see results straight-away, some people do not. What does this mean? They’re cultivating a powerful, positive mind-set. So why does it take so long?

Maybe the universe is trying to find the right people to come into your life. Perhaps they are not in your area — they could be thousands miles away from where you live. This is where patience comes into play. Yes, it is a virtue!

A garden does not take that long to grow. If you want to manifest your desires in your life do the following. First, till your “mental soil” — clear out the weeds — strangling your mind. You must have a clean mind before you can plant your desires. Second, plant your seeds of desires. Finally, let your desires go and grow within your mental garden. This is where people (including myself) get tripped up. Sometimes we get in our own way. Let go and let the “powers at be” (God, universe, spirit, or whatever name you give to a higher power) do its job and bring to you that which you desire. Think of it this way — it’s one less thing on your to do list!

Some may like it, some may not. In the end, it does not matter what these people think. In fact, you may be surprised that your hair receives more air time than the U.S.’s stimulus package!

Getting a new hairstyle and color is very liberating. Just be prepared for people to give you their opinions — not once, but twice! Napoleon Hill was right when he said that opinions are the cheapest commodities. What matters is that you are happy with your new look.

Opinions not welcomed

People love to give their opinions. Do not let this deter you from changing your hairstyle and color. Remember, it’s your hair — it’s only hair. Furthermore, Hollywood actors and actresses constantly change their hair styles. If they want a major role in a movie, they’ll be more than happy to change their hair.

Isn’t it amazing that people will devote so much time to telling you they how you feel about your new hairstyle and color. It’s not like you heard them the first time. They probably mean well or they have nothing else to do. Accept their opinion and move forward with your life. After all, you paid for it; you’re the one who better be happy with it.

Model behavior

Tyra Banks of America’s Next Top Model is famous for her makeovers on the show. Some of the girls are happy with them, while others carry-on like a banshee. Tyra reminds the girls that if that want to make it in the modeling world, they may have to change their look. This is a great lesson. Unfortunately, not every girl sees it that way.

The lesson

Even though you could care-a-less, people will spew their opinions about your new look. For some reason, they may feel compelled to tell you a couple of times how much they like you better as a blond, red head, or brunette — with or without highlights. You may be tempted to get upset about this and you have every right to because it’s your hair. But, it’s not worth it. Your thoughts and energy can be spent elsewhere.

Are there people in your life who feel compelled to tell you over and over that they like you better as a blond, red head, or brunette? How did you handle it?

Many people dream of being a millionaire. It usually goes something like this, “if I could only win the lottery!” Being a millionaire is not as difficult as people make it out to be. In fact, most millionaires work for themselves. These people are considered to be self-made millionaires. They did not wait for someone to hand over the family business or fortune to them. Whether they did it by themselves or with a team of people, the point is they did it!

According to the article “10 Things Millionaires Won’t Tell You” on Smart Money.com most millionaires shop at Wal Mart. Many people will be shocked by this revelation. Millionaires know how to be frugal. They shop for items on sale, look for the bargains, and clip coupons!

People can become millionaires by investing in the stock market, opening a savings account, purchasing a franchise, opening an IRA or Roth IRA, and buying and selling property. Do not be fooled by the latter. In the real estate business, there is a buyer for everything. What you need is a good understanding of the real estate market. Do not let talk of economic woes get into your head. Find a “real estate guru” and learn the tricks of the trade. People make money with real estate no matter the economic situation of the U.S. For real estate tips and tricks, please visit real estate investors life.

Now is the time to become a millionaire. Even people working 9 to 5 jobs can become millionaires. All it takes is dedication and time. The main requirement to being a millionaire is that you must want to be one. Another tip is to live within your means. Today, many people are luxaholics. Most of these people have a Target budget but spend like they have a Rodeo Drive one. Visit MSN Money to learn more on how to become a millionaire.

How many people would love to fire their boss? Most people have dreams but choose not to pursue them. They show up day after day to perform a job they do not like. It’s not fair to them or the organization.

The main reason they stay is because of FEAR! They dream of doing what they love and getting paid for it, but wake themselves from the dream. They focus on their current reality which breeds more fear and contempt.

Take a chance and choose to escape from a job that you dislike. Flexibility and freedom are within reach. Make the decision today to grab hold of them.

All women have cellulite no matter their size or shape. Even models and “skinny girls” have cellulite. They may not have a lot of cellulite when compared to other women, but they still have it!

The Tyra Banks Show asked five women to take the Nivea Good-bye Cellulite, Hello Bikini Challenge and the results were amazing. Some women used the cream and others used the patches. Also, all of the women took Nivea Nutritional Supplements. Within four weeks all of the women had dramatic improvement in their “problem areas” such as buttocks and thighs.

Tips to Combat Cellulite

Stay active. Being sedentary will only increase cellulite because the fat will build up quicker over time.

Exercise and Dieting: Get a customized work out based on your body, metabolism and goals! Remember to eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and drink plenty of fluids such as water or Green Tea.

Incorporate vitamins and supplements into your diet and fitness plan. For vitamins find Great Prices on Vitamin World’s Best Sellers! Click Here and get healthy today.

To conceal dimples, use a self tanner such as Jergens Natural Glow Firming Daily Moisturizer or Jergens Natural Glow Express.

Dry brush your problem areas. Take a large, flat brush and in a circular motion rub it over your skin. This increases the circulation and improves the appearance of cellulite.

Have confidence and smile! Stand up tall and be proud of who you are because you are one of a kind!

Visit Nivea to learn more about Nivea Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream. Look for special packages of Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Gel-Cream that offer a free workout DVD from the New York Sports Club. It’s a fantastic half hour DVD that can be used in conjunction with the cream and or patches. Take it from me, the cream works and it’s only been a week and a half! The DVD was a nice surprise and bonus!

Lately, I’ve been doing yoga. I love my yoga ball! I used to do yoga but then stopped to pursue a more rigorous workout routine. Lifting weights, kick-boxing, running, power walking, hiking, and anything that is rather “intense” was my workout routine. I will admit that I still enjoy doing a “high intense” workout. But, I cut back on “how much” I do intense workouts!

Yoga has “transformed” my body, especially my arms! I cannot believe that I finally have “definition” in my arms. Do you know how many repetitions of weights I used to do? Amazing! Yoga is a good way to quiet the mind. It is also good for the mind, body, and spirit connection. When I’m doing yoga, I feel at peace. My mind is quiet, and I focus on my breath. I incorporate the use of a yoga ball (aka stability ball) to strengthen my core. The yoga ball is a challenge because you must “stabilize” yourself on it. You definitely must concentrate when you do crunches! Check out the “Strengthen Your Core” article on weight watchers.com to learn more.

Om! Om!: I have Cathy Smith’s Yoga, and I really like it. Visit Buy.com to purchase yoga DVDs and other accessories!

Perhaps your workout could use a makeover. Why not give yoga a try? You never know what it will do for you. Not only will you tone your arms and lose inches, you will gain a connection with yourself!

I’ve been reading “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle and it has truly opened my eyes to what has been happening in my life up until this point. Not all of it has been pretty! The good news is that I recognize how I was really “stuck in my head.” I truly accept responsibility for my current situation. I also realize that NOW is what matters!

I have been “chasing my tail” like one of our dogs used to do! I was always thinking about the past or the future. I would replay what happened in the past or “throw” myself into the future; visualize my success in the future versus now. The here and now was just a “means to an end” as Eckhart Tolle says in “A New Earth.” I agree with this. Eckhart speaks in depth about the “ego.” I believe I have a better understanding of the “ego.” I thought I understood what the ego was, but the truth is I did not. After reading “A New Earth,” I understand “ego,” and I recognize that mine was “running” my life (content). Talk about being “asleep at the wheel!”

The truth is that the “ego” will not be satisfied. It will always look to people or situations to “feed” it. Once it is satisfied, the ego will move on to the next person or situation. It is a vicious cycle! Most people (myself included) do not recognize what they cannot stand in others, is a direct reflection of what they do not like or fear about themselves. Yes, this can be a tough pill to swallow. Embrace it, feel it, and you will start to move forward with your life!

If you are ready to “wake” from your sleep, visit Buy.com or Barnes and Noble to purchase “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle. The choice is NOW yours!

On April 18, I met Bob Harper (from NBC’s The Biggest Loser) at Changing Hands Bookstore. He was there to promote his new book Are You Ready!: To Take Charge, Lose Weight, Get in Shape, and Change Your Life Forever. I think there were over 100 people at the store! It was some night! The women went nuts for Bob. I felt like I was “backstage” at a rock concert. And…Betti Sue, Ali Vincent’s (winner of The Biggest Loser) mom showed up! She is very nice and personable. Betti Sue took time to speak with people and even signed Bob’s book for people. BONUS! Bob’s and Betti Sue’s autograph! Go Pink Team!

Anyway, Betti Sue told how Ali had a bell by her bedside at the ranch and each morning Ali hit the bell and said “Believe It To Be It.” Ali truly believed that she was going to be the winner of The Biggest Loser! Ali also used the “visualization” technique to make her dream come true. She visualized what she would be wearing, being on the scale at the finale, and the confetti falling on the stage. It worked! Ali was the first woman to win The Biggest Loser!

Betti Sue also said that Ali likes to say affirmations in addition to “visualization.” I can relate to Ali because I myself use affirmations and visualization. I am down with affirmations and visualization, it’s the BELIEVE IT part that I am a “wee” bit stuck on in my life. I listen to Hay House Radio which I find to be very informative and inspirational. But, belief or having faith is something that I work on each day. I always say “if I could just get a break or just give me a “taste” of success, then I will know what it feels like. I guess it does not work that way!

Speaking of Hay House, the I CAN DO IT! 2008 WEEKEND CONFERENCES! in Las Vegas is coming up. Vegas is close to me. Hmmm….I will have to think about that one. I think it would be an interesting event to attend. We’ll see!

Anyway, the ironic part about all of this is that there are people in my life that believe in me. Go figure! Now, it is up to me to believe in myself and to have faith that everything is working out in “divine timing.” Each day I ask for more understanding and to be more aware of my thoughts. It’s a process! I’ll get there eventually. As soon as I get out of my way!

Eat Well & Be Happy with Genisoy. What a great statement! I just discovered Genisoy at Fry’s. I love Genisoy’s Soy Crisps! I tried the Ranch flavor (bought at Fry’s) and Rich Cheddar Cheese (at Fry’s and online). They are absolutely fabulous. The crisps are light and do taste great!

I have yet to try other products by Genisoy. I would like to try the Trail Mix, Crispy Dippers, Soy Nuts, Soy Tortilla Chips Nacho, and maybe a Genisoy Protein Bar. I’ll think about the Protein Bar. Most Protein Bars taste awful, that’s just my opinion. I think I had one that tasted good, but I cannot remember the name. Oops! Anyway, when I try another product by Genisoy, I will give you an “update.”

Snacking gets a “bad” rap! Not all snacks are bad for you. And, it is everything in moderation. Try not to deprive yourself a snack if you want it. Your options are to eat the entire snack or take a taste and put the rest back in the refrigerator, freezer, or cupboard. Of course, there are options like Genisoy!
