Lifes all about Rituals!

If we take a step back and look at the things we do in our lives, is not hard to conclude that we  as human beings are bound and structured by our rituals. For example, We wake up, have a smoke, relax for a half hour, brush our teeth, head to work for 8 hours, watch 2 hours of television, clean the cat litter watch a hockey game and so on.. and we do the same thing on almost everyday of the year. now if we split up the hours of the rituals of an average person. they...

work for 1920 hours a year
brush our teeth for 16 hours
672 hours of television!!!

Are we being controlled to do these things so constantly and I am not even including cleaning cooking and  essential things. 2 out of the 3 rituals most would say are essential, you have to work to live, and and everyone wants whiter teeth and the first step is brushing them. But television, merely 2 hours per day (and i  underestimating by a long shot) and after only  one year, a staggering figure of 672 hours of what I like to call  wasted time.  Now for a moment , imagine that you changed your rituals, but even before that we have to identify what stagnates a ritual? We have to work.. and we have to brush our teeth, but why would television be such extraordinary ritual in my life? Because it appeases to our immediate gratification. It entertains us and becomes desirable in our needs and wants.  It might make you laugh bring you excitement heartfelt comfort. But beneath the surface we see thing happening. People on television entertaining and making
money from your expense and wasted time.  Your rituals come from what brings gratification. Now our job is to decide to invest our time in rituals that bring us either immediate and temporary or long term and permanent gratification

 We cannot see the difference in the whitness of our teeth after simply one brush, however we know that by being consistent in doing so, we will eventually see results. But what long term benefits
 does immediate gratification entail?  

This is my second tip in the 3 part series in being more successful in whatever goal your want to achieve, that
we are bound by our rituals. Change the rituals to support goals of long term gratification and your life will begin to change if you like it or not! Instead of watching television or participating in activities that appease to your immediate gratification, invest your  wasted time in productivity that will help you down the road!

Stay tuned for the 3rd and final part of the 3 part series!

The Definition of Work

what is the definition of work. most of us would agree that the word itself brings  a predominate thoughts of a hard job they had themselves or witnessed someone else doing. so what does work equate? one thing! MONEY.  so do we dread money$ of course not. but the thought of making money , good money for that matter can incorporate thoughts of doubt discouragement and planned disappointment.

it doesnt have to be this way. and it all starts with  these 3 imporant principles.

throughout the next 2 weeks i will state 3 principles that will gaurantee a more successful approach to any thing you want to be or go in your lifetime!

1. association

dont take this the wrong way but take a look around you and who do you see. it might be your family friends and of course people close to you. a vital question to ask yourself is, are the people who you associate yourself with in the same direction or heading in the same direction in accordance to your dreams and goals? 

im not saying by any means to dissociate yourself from people who you care about. but additionally if you for instance, want to be successful in your area or field. than befriend someone who has what have, who have achieved what you want, study his or her habits.  football is a great analogy. in professional levels their are coaches hired for a specific position within football. They do not place defensive backs with a  coach who specializes in field goal kicking.  

in my industry the mlm industry. i can consider mentors and sponsors as coaches. all working towards one goal. just like both the players and coaches, we all want to win!

association is a vital key to keeping you on tract in observing, mimicing and perfecting  the proven  processes from those who have done or achieved what you want

If the dreams big enough, the facts don't count!

And we begin...

This is it. My first Blog. Did i ever think id be writing a blog. frankly last year i was quite unaware what a blog was and what purpose  its purpose holds. here it goes.  Why did i Write this blog, what purpose do i hold as a small  pebble  in this ocean called the internet. First of all. I am an independent business owner in the exciting world of multi-level-marketing and I love what I do! Before a few months ago, before I was introduced into the business I'm currently involved in, I was lost, stuck in a perception that lead me to see life as one huge struggle. I grew up in a middle class home, and watched my father work long hours as a machine operator, leave early in the morning and return right before dinner, tired, sore and filthy to the point where the most fulfilling evening would include sleep and sleep alone. Week after week month after month, year after year. I always perceived that as the only option, go to school, get a job and slave yourself to the system just to get by. 10 years later I found myself jumping from idea to idea, job to job, course to course searching for the right direction for me, because if i'm going to work from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday, for the next 40 years, I mind as well enjoy what I'm doing to some extent. I kept searching, doing career surveys, in a blunder, terrified of university, and even more the entry level workforce. I hit rock bottom. One day i ran into my cousin, and asked him what he was doing these days, he said he was busy with a business he started and i, of course, inquired. Upon a full inquiry, I met a self made multimillionaire named Bill Kerr. I was introduced into a comparison of where ALL the money of the world is generated and distributed. It turns out my entire perception of the workforce was wrong! and man does it suck to be wrong.He told me about Robert Kiyosaki,  famous for his book "Rich-Dad, Poor-Dad" . He created the cash flow quadrant. 95 % of the world , is employed and works for an hourly wage (time for money) and they fight over only 20% of the worlds wealth! The other 5% are business owners and investors and share 80% of the worlds wealth. My jaw dropped in amazement. Could this be true? It definitely is!

At this point my mind was filled with new thoughts and perceptions.

I thought why have a man, who cares not about me, tell me when and where work, and most importantly, tells me HOW much Im worth!!

I was introduced into a way that I can define what I'm worth by my own success.

 I realized that No matter how much you make or where you work. If your working time for money your limited to how many hours there are in a week. And Ironically, People typically have either Time and no money or lots of money and no time because your working so work to earn it.

WHAT A PARADOX!
 

 As it turns out The true purpose of this blog  to share my Goal for 2013 which is to earn $100,000.00 by the end of the year and help 10 others do the same and in the process  share my  journey,learned skills, concepts important points, philosophies, success stories, bumps in the road on the way, and overall the experience. I hope in doing so that I will assist other business owners in proven techniques and skills learned along the way and also inspire others to follow their dreams and pursue whatever they desire. Cheers. I hop
