Quantum Mechanics Theories and Mysteries

If you don’t believe that anything – if not everything – is possible, I challenge you to spend half-an-hour with a scientist specializing in Quantum Mechanics and/or Quantum Theory and rue the day if you happen to be in the room with two or more of them at the same time (I know you guys are reading this, and I have zero disrespect for your research, in fact, I sincerely have great admiration for the work that you do).

I have had people invite me into their world of discovery, like my friend, Norman, who wanted me to join him on his research into the Cosmos. What? As if I wasn’t already feeling insignificant enough, now you want to tell me that I am but a speck on our planet, in our galaxy surrounded by other galaxies, in a universe alongside an unlimited number of universes all laid out side-by-side? (Give me a break.)

Then, throw in the quantum ideas that amidst all those universes, I am there. Me. In this moment in time, in the past and in the future, living out alternate realities… Yikes!

I can handle a few minutes and grasp some of the concepts, but when you get out into Many Interactive Worlds (MIW) it gets so complicated for me, that I just try to grasp what ideas I can and leave the rest to the physicists at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) and the other researchers and scientists – who have chosen this to be their life’s work – to unravel the details.

Like many other popular topics of interest around the world (and beyond the known world) I prefer not to get distracted by the details of certain things that are so fascinating that drilling down in an attempt to uncover the most minute details could keep me from accomplishing my mission, purpose or achieving my highest and best.

In my line of work it is not uncommon for me to be interacting with research and development (R&D) teams who are integrating quantum fields into their areas of study, and the concepts boggle the mind as it is so far removed from what our current level of understanding is. You can go through school – even upper levels of education – and never be exposed to quantum mechanics.

On the other hand, government agencies, like the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has well-documented interests in quantum R&D and there are courses of study that cater to those who can handle imagining excavating ideas that are incongruent for the rest of us.

Thanks to Fred Alan Wolf, Ph.D., I have somewhat an idea about the double-slit experiment (which I find the most significantly intriguing), though talking with him at length about other topics is unproductive, to say the least.

And if that wasn’t enough, there is some cross-over between the psychic, paranormal, religious belief, traditional science and quantum theory… It’s all possible, though admittedly not my area of expertise.

I get overwhelmed by the ideas of atoms, electrons, entanglements, superposition, energetic field(s), quarks, dark matter, dark energy, black holes, etc… leaving the intricacies of those to the specialists. If I have need of any specific details about any of their properties, I can consult an expert and I suggest you do the same. In lieu of not having a person to call on, then by all means consult Google.

You guys (and gals) keep delving into the unfathomable on our behalf and keep me posted; I love you!

Guard Your Heart and Mind

In life, many times, as we keep moving gleefully along our merry way we are awakened to the idea there are others who may not have out best interests at heart, when suddenly our attention is seized and the realization becomes clear.

You discover that someone you trusted may not have been as trustworthy as you thought, authority figures are not as compassionate as you had imagined, a friend – or lover – betrayed you, or you may have been a victim of a random act of violence perpetrated by a stranger, etc…

In this moment you have the thought of the world not being as nice a place as you once thought it was.

It is natural and normal for your initial reaction to be one of self-preservation as you begin to shut yourself off from being vulnerable to the world and others, though, I think, most of us realize this approach does not lead to much satisfaction in life and would certainly prevent one from enjoying all that this life has to offer.

The key is to guard your heart; to be mindful and cautious about whom you let into your innermost self.

Sure, you say, “I was being careful, but someone I trusted betrayed and hurt me.” True.

If you look back on the relationship from this vantage point, you’re likely to be able to see things that you overlooked prior to – and during – the relationship that (had you been looking) could have been interpreted as warning signs.

This is the life-learning process, for which you are deserving of a Masters’ Degree (yes, you can get one from me) declaring that you have mastered this difficult process the hard way; but grueling and diligent life experience. I don’t think it can be adequately addressed or learned from books or story-telling. Unfortunately, when you’ve learned it, you’ve felt the pain of its learning.

You must not let this person or circumstance prevent you from achieving your highest and best.

If you really want to experience the best from this life, you must defend your right to live, laugh and love.

Take living action

Make certain to take action to achieve a quality of life that brings satisfaction to you. Get out in public, mingle, see a show, make new friends…

Create opportunities to laugh

Find ways to enjoy life by embracing joy whenever you can. Start by smiling more. Maybe start with smiling at yourself in the mirror, then share your smile with others, wherever you go. You will be surprised at how your joy (even though it may be uncomfortable at first, feeling as though you’re just going through the motions) is infectious. Your smile not only puts you in a state of joy, but it helps others feel better. Go to a comedy show and yuck it up, and start watching more comedies for your viewing enjoyment. Laughter really is good medicine.

Love more

I don’t know if you could ever love too much, but in this day and age, it is prudent for you to proceed in unbridled love without restraint; but with your wits about you.

Be aware that there are people who might not be a good fit for your all-out love. Allow yourself to offer them some love without putting the innermost you at risk.

Guard your heart and mind; defend your right to live, laugh and love.

How Long Do You Want to Live?

Now, there’s a question. Everyone ponders their own mortality and as I talk to people, it appears that everyone has their own perspective on what would constitute a full life. According to statistics, a man will live to be 76 and a woman 81.

Recently, three vibrant people that I know ceased to participate in this life their ages varied from 45 to 77. Their life’s cessation was not accidental nor due to “natural causes.” As I grow older, I continue to see many people in my life having thoughts of suicide and opting out of life as we know it. Why do people commit suicide?

At this point in my life, I have a firm intention to live to be 120 or more and be in pretty good shape as the number of centenarians continues to double year-by-year.

Then, I see other people’s reaction when death comes knocking on their door – maybe not ready to take them away – but they receive a wakeup call, a reminder that if you don’t make some changes in your lifestyle, you may not have much longer to live.

It’s interesting to watch how different people react to warnings of potentially window shopping at death’s department store. Some people re-evaluate and find other things to do and places to be that might not have such ominous foreboding, while others brazenly march inside in an effort to get the best deal they can, checking out as soon as possible.

Some people are just done shopping; they just want to get what they need and get into line at the checkout lane as quickly as possible. Some stand in line longer than others, but eventually, their turn comes as life scans their items and rings ‘em up. They pay and they leave; done.

I have many friends who have beat the odds greatly – and they are my heroes, my hope that my long-life goal is within reach – and they are vibrant, in great shape and continue to make the world a better place. Wow! (I can even spell it backward.) That’s what I’m talking about.

Interestingly, many times when I share my personal view on my own potential life expectancy, I am somewhat shocked by the response of people who get emotionally tweaked (if not utterly upset) when I propose the idea of living past a more moderate age.

Passive folks immediately become passionate sales clerks for grabbing ten items or less and rushing for the speedy checkout lane. This never ceases to catch me off-guard as they say things like

But life’s so hard…
What, more bills and taxes?
Do you want to be alone in a nursing home?
You want to out-live your family & friends?
Do you want to be sick and feeble the rest of your life?
What if you’re unable to ambulate and communicate (walk and talk)?

And so it goes, on and on…

The truth is, I have had the most amazing life. It has been the best life ever. My life has been a full spectrum color wide-screen surround-sound roller coaster experience and I wouldn’t change one iota of it.

For other folks, life is hard and as they age, they find themselves running out of fuel to continue the journey any longer.

But isn’t it all just a matter of perspective?

Those who know some of the more intimate details of my life assume that the trials and tribulation that visited me would be unbearable. Yet these are the same life circumstances that have brought me to where I am today. I embrace and highly regard every challenge that has crossed my path (likely not in the moment, but after I gained a more aerial perspective).

What about you? Are you ready to check out, or continue to shop?

Think about it (you probably already have)…

How long would you like to live?

Why?

Thought is Precognition

I thought I should share this principle with you. Since I had the thought, the information immediately became available to anyone with the ability to consider the same thought and this thought would persist and grow until someone had the nerve to share it. So share it I shall. Here goes:

When you have a thought, the thought becomes reality. Maybe not in the exact moment that you have the thought, but at some place in time and space the thought that you just experienced is, was or will be realized in the universe.

A frightening thought, you might think, to have this kind of power. Is it possible that anyone could possess such power? Not only do some people have this power, but all of us have this power.

For example, if you have the thought that you would like to own a new Mercedes Benz. Just the thought of your Mercedes Benz has caused it to be available for you in the moment that you experienced the thought.

There is often a gap between you and your Mercedes. It could look like this:

Me – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Mercedes

There exists between you and your Mercedes any number of obstacles that stand between you and your new vehicle.

As you do the work of removing whatever stands between you and your vision (there are many ways to conduct this work we can talk about later), your ultimate goal draws more near to you.

Me – – – – – – – – – Mercedes

As you close the gap between you and what you want it gets closer to you.

What happens if you have the thought about your new Mercedes and do no work to bring it into your reality?

Since your thought made the Mercedes available, your Mercedes will go to someone else.

Me – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Mercedes – – Someone Else

If someone gets to your Mercedes before you do, not to fret. You can simply think of a different one and start the process again. Maybe by this time you’d rather have a Maserati.

Take a look at the well-known example of Thomas Edison’s light bulb.

Edision – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Light Bulb

Edison (and others) had the thought of a self-contained lighting device that did not use the conventional flame technology available at the time. The light bulb at the moment of thought became reality in time and space.

Edison went about the work of closing the gap between the thought of the lighting instrument (which seemed to be impossible at the time) and realizing it in present time and space.

Edision – – – – – – – – – – Light Bulb

While he was doing the work (and his staff of lab technicians), other people were also doing the work.

Edision – – – Light Bulb – – – Someone Else

Due to Edision’s tenacity, he realized the light bulb before anyone else.

Edision = Light Bulb – – – Someone Else

Leaving someone else to find an alternative thought (or continue to create an alternative light bulb).

If you’ve followed me this far, you can see that thought – if you are open to it – can be precognitive. Thomas Edison had the vision of the light bulb, saw the future of its being realized, and saw it come to pass. He saw – and predicted – the future.

Not much different than the imagination of Gene Roddenberry who created a wildly fantastic science fiction fantasy called Star Trek; many of his ideas – impossible – crazy – when he had the thoughts. Today, they are showing up all around us.

Does that mean, if I have a thought about my spouse having an affair, that it actually becomes reality?

Think of it like this:

Let’s say that you have gone to see a fortune teller who can see the future with 100% accuracy. The fortune teller sees your spouse having an intimate encounter with someone who is not you. This is the unrealized future.

Armed with this knowledge, what will you do about it?

You have the ability to affect the future, to prevent it from occurring, eliminating (or decreasing) the affect the act will have on you or change it altogether. Knowing the future is an awesome ability and what you do with the information puts you in control of your future.

You are psychic. When you have a thought, it becomes real – if it’s an undesirable future event, you have time and space to change the outcome or create new possibilities.

What are your thoughts?

To Blog or Not to Blog My Favorite Blogs

It was a tough decision for me to decide to start a blog. It is not something I take lightly. To open one’s self up and make a commitment to expose yourself a little more on a regular basis; it is a challenge.

And a challenge is what it was from the get-go. I recommend that my clients engage in blogging regularly as a means of connecting with their audience; because that’s what it’s all about. Certainly there is a lot of data available for anyone to access via Google 24/7, but to actually connect with someone is a difficult task – a regularly updated blog can make the difference – bridging the gap between a stream of analogous unlimited data and real people.

As a coach and supporter of blogging (even wrote a book on the topic) I am, more often than not, encouraging my clients to consider taking on the challenge – and responsibility – of blogging.

Because I realize how important it is to proceed with both caution and commitment, no one is more aware of the fact that such a decision – to blog or not to blog – should not be taken lightly or made haphazardly.

Think about it; what if I told you that I would be at the Starbucks on the corner, every weekday morning from 8:30 am to 9:00 am. Then, I invited you to sit with me and I would give you five minutes of my time, just giving you a few ideas about what was on my mind in that moment.

You might think, “Oh, what a thoughtful gesture,” and the following Thursday, you thought you’d give it a go and see what Masters has on his mind. Sure enough, you show up and there he is sipping away on his venti mocha. The two of you make eye contact and you are invited to take a seat at his table. Then just as promised you hear five minutes of whatever appears to be on his mind.

This is the Blog Experience that you want to capture with your audience, only instead of a face-to-face one-on-one interaction, with a web site blog you can interact with your people en masse. There is nothing more beautiful and revered by your followers and supporters, who are becoming your friends.

What happens if you came to the Starbucks to hear what I had to say, for that little extra eyebrow-raise for the day – a little something to make you think – and I wasn’t there? You might think, well, last week I was here on Thursday, and today’s Wednesday; maybe I’ll try again tomorrow.

The next day, still no Masters. Even though you may not stop by every day, the days that you do stop by, I’m still not there.

How do you feel now? Okay, so it’s nothing personal; there really was no obligation or commitment. We didn’t have any kind of a deal or contract, even though you may have like having that to look forward to, now it is gone; Que sera, sera. No harm – no foul – but not feeling great about it.

Letting down you audience is not a marketing method that I encourage; though sometimes it is necessary to move on, streamline one’s operation and sometimes projects will have to be cut to make room for others.

So, I accepted the challenge and agreed to stretch myself in good faith. We will see how it goes.

Here are some of my favorite blogs that exemplify the commitment that it takes to create and maintain a good blog:

Brian Tracy Blog

Deepak Chopra Blog

Human Performance Research Center Blog

Jack Canfield Blog

Joe Vitale’s Blog

Mind Hacks

Research Digest Blog on Brain and Behavior

The Blog Herald

Scientific Discoveries and Distraction

Is it too much to think that what we know about history and science is still basically nothing in comparison to what will be known in the next hundred years?

If you think about it, we have learned so much in the last couple of hundred years that it nearly boggles the mind altogether.

Over the last couple of decades, numerous scientific assumptions that scientists and researchers once believed to be true have been overturned by discoveries.

As an avid researcher, I have also opted out of seeking answers to everything. There are so many recent developments that I cannot keep up with them all – and I can afford to be sidetracked from my higher purpose. Therefore, I defer to others whose passion is to uncover and delve deeply into the facts, revealing discoveries.

New revelations can be an unwarranted distraction, luring me to drop what I’m doing and jump into the race for facts and data as the scientist within desires to dissect and understand the mysteries of life. When I catch myself standing on the springboard, I try to regroup, reassess, and get back on track, thinking to myself, “Whew! That could have consumed the rest of my life.”

While new scientific advancements are being made every day, I’ve decided to remain open to all possibilities and hypotheses as they emerge, for if I’ve learned anything, it is that anything – possibly everything – is possible.

Things that were previously so far removed from human consciousness as to be considered impossible are now not only possible but also facts of our everyday lives. Things that were mere fantasy and science fiction only 150 years ago are now a factual reality.

This can’t help but challenge anyone’s belief system. Is what I believe true? Yes. Can truth change over time? Yes.

Is anything possible?

Yes. Given the proper time and circumstance.

A brief example might be: Can a man fly?

The initial answer is no. Unequivocally and absolutely “No” 200 years ago, right? Wait a minute; what if you placed a man in a catapult and launched him like a cannonball? Wouldn’t he be flying? What about the man who leaps off a ledge into a bottomless pit? Would he not be flying? No, you say, he would be falling. Isn’t that a matter of perspective?

What if you put him in a hang glider or on an airplane? What, if anything, in the next 50 years, will be developed that, when worn, makes a man’s independent flight possible?

There is Isaac Newton’s renowned statement, “What goes up, must come down,” which refers to the principle of gravity. Fact. Unless, of course, we begin to challenge, manipulate, and use gravity’s forces to alter the outcome.

Yet, some hold so tightly to the notion that a man cannot fly, that they are willing to fight for their unrivaled authoritarian view. Do they have the right to believe whatever they want? Absolutely; in that regard, you’re right: men cannot fly.

Just as you have the right to believe they cannot, I have the right to entertain the idea that they could. Fair enough?

Rather than wasting my time being a skeptic – fighting and arguing over something that I may regret later – I will be a believer in all things, allowing others to sort out the details. At the same time, I remain committed to my mission of helping others reach their highest potential.

Are scientific discoveries a distraction?

Take the high road: Be open.

Media Distraction Challenge

So, here we are, on our life journey in the pursuit of happiness with a desire to achieve our highest and best while making the world a better place. We’re focused with clear intention, getting to know who we are, what our life’s purpose is and know where we’re going…

Just then, the phone rings, you win a free prize, there’s a knock on the door, you’re involved in a fender-bender, there’s a sale at Macy’s, you get a buy one get one free coupon, a new reality TV show comes out promising to be more outrageous than the last or you witness a terrible tragedy on the television.

Any of these – and a nearly unlimited host of other things – break your concentration, distracting you from your life’s work. Some of the distractions affect you so deeply that investigating and researching them could consume you so much, that you could forget your unique personal calling altogether.

In fact, with the prevalence of the information age, it is clearly nearly impossible to maintain any level of focus without being interrupted by a cell phone text, telemarketers, broadcast advertisements, facebook memes and messages, twitter tweets and youtube videos, not to mention Google.

How many times have I Googled something to simply find a quick answer, only to awake from a Google-search-trance that consumed far more time than I had planned to spend there? Many more times than I would probably want to count, or admit.

Today, we are fortunate to work fewer hours than we did a hundred years ago; the average worker’s hours spent laboring went from 70 hours a week to 40 hours a week. That’s 30 more hours a week that each one of us could spend achieving out highest and best and making the world a better place.

Only, what is it that we actually do with those extra 30 hours a week? It may not surprise you to realize that those hours are spent recreationally in front of a television, computer, on a tablet or smart-phone, consuming entertainment, information and drivel at ridiculously rapid rates and velocity.

Most of us realize that television and the news is controlled by someone-or-something that filters and uses the data to get us to react in certain ways; to frighten us, make us angry, polarize us against each other or rally us into supporting a cause we otherwise would have not agreed with, etc…

Isn’t it time that we took control of the media, instead of letting the media control us?

Do you have what it takes to take the

Media Distraction Challenge

The Media Distraction Challenge has two options:

1 Take back one hour per day to be free-and-clear of all media to spend focusing on you and your life’s mission

Or take the ultimate challenge

2 Unplug from all media, maximizing your effectiveness in the world exponentially

It may be difficult to imagine participating in a media hiatus, living without your media connections, television shows, etc…

One thing for certain; taking control from the mass manipulators and unplugging from the force-fed-media disarms them empowering you.

It’s time to take YOU back.

Vegetarians vs Carnivores

“Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the main event here at the Chrome Dome. In this corner we have Ferocious Fig representing the vegetarians and in this corner we have Ravenous Rex representing the carnivores. In this cage fight to the death, where the victor wins the Champion’s Belt of Rightness, while the loser – er, ah – loses all!”

And the crowd goes wild!

“Ready fighters… Fight!”

And ‘ere it goes, another division between us and them, me and you, cause for debate leading to discord, angst or worse.

Many of my friends and relatives are vegetarians, while others are animal-killing meat-eaters and I love them all equally. Me? I’m somewhere in the middle, a sort of closet veggie. I eat vegetarian and meat (not meat and vegetables) something they refer to as semi-vegetarian (who would not kill something to eat it), which makes me a heretic in both camps.

I have observed pleasant conversations about differing views about what foods people prefer to eat turn into heated debates that render down to both opponents asserting, “I’m right; you’re wrong.”

Like we haven’t seen that before; it’s the classic right vs. wrong, good vs. evil, love vs. fear, truth vs. lies, us vs. them, ours vs. theirs, and me vs. you mechanism that keeps us separated, prohibiting our world from evolving past its current state.

Look how far we’ve come in the last 150 years!

I travel a lot and almost every time that I spend time in transit for two hours or more, at some point along the journey, I am absolutely amazed that I am able to get from point A to point B in such a short period of time because it was only 150 years ago, that I would have been riding a horse.

With the utmost reverence, I am awestruck by technological advancements we are blessed with. We have motorized transportation, electricity, light bulbs, mastered transmission over radio waves, audio, photographic and video recording and playback devices, movies, refrigerators, plastic, aerospace technology, lasers, footprints on the moon, satellites, robots, and exploration in outer space.

It’s easy to take for granted the modern convenience of television, computers and cell phones as they are now a part of our everyday life; yet all this, within less than three generations?

Since the earliest inkling of our beginnings, people argued, fought and killed each other and only he who possessed the best skills – or luck – survived.

It has been less than 5,000 years ago, when we started killing by declaring war between peoples. It wasn’t enough for two people to duke it out between themselves; “I am the leader and I will enlist my people to battle on my behalf.” With all our advancements, we still are running these 5,000-year-old programs?

I am surprised that we still let leaders (those who control wide-reaching collectives of thought) to manipulate us into dissention, leading to mass conflict.

I love being born into a system that is represented by a constitution that was crafted by rebels attempting to create a Utopian society. I find it interesting that also, in the last most forward-thinking and technologically advanced 150 years, we’ve seen our government slipping backwards. Tightening their controlling grip on Americans, requiring them to purchase licenses to get married, drive a vehicle, build or renovate your home, be remunerated for providing trade services, selling something or even hunting and fishing.

And for god’s sake, don’t have a rain barrel to collect water!

A psychopath told me, “It’s your First Amendment right to lie and deceive.” While I disagree with his interpretation of, “Free Speech,” I love the idea that anyone can think or say, what they want (as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else). Yes, I realize that my parenthetical inclusion is what creates a conundrum with the concept at hand.

Oh, yeah, back to vegetarians vs. carnivores.

It comes down to this: Do you have the right to be a vegetarian? Answer: Yes.

Then celebrate your right and eat all the veggies you want. Hooray! And I will celebrate with you; Wa-hoo!

Same goes for the meat-eaters.

I know, I can already hear my favorite PETA maven interrupting with, “What about the rights of the animals who are killed for their meat?” And she has a point.

Maybe our society is moving toward a meatless diet; I don’t know. But I do know that we are not there, yet.

In the meantime, people are allowed to eat meat, and some of them do so vigorously.

I would say this to both the vegetarians and the carnivores:

Arguing and fighting for your cause has never in the history of our civilization converted anyone.

Celebrating your passion for something you do and exemplifying the happiness you feel by participating in what you feel passionate about will make others want to know what you are doing. And they might inquire about it; even want to try it for themselves.

This is not politics or religion (which should consider a similar approach).

Love, let love, share your love and let people find their own way.

Find your happiness and let it be.

God Bless the Doer

You know who I’m talking about – the person who doesn’t just hear about it, talk about it or dream about it – the one who actually takes action and does that thing! And blessed is he that does it, like nobody’s business. That’s the kind of people I hang out with.

Often we look at people voyeuristically we admire those who step out in faith – especially against all odds – and creates an impactful outcome. For better or worse, we honor their courage; and might think to ourselves (or even say it aloud), “I wish I could do that.”

Certainly there are people born with an innate ability to go where no man has gone before and push-through the envelope regardless of what the terrain might look like; these are the Battle Cats in our society. They suit up in their coat of armor and set out to accomplish their task, and rue the day if you get in their way; they’ll lay to waste anything that gets in their way. We love it when Battle Cats are heroes and even (from the viewpoint of our darker self) enjoy the show when they are villainous.

Working with these individuals is exhilarating and can be exhausting in an effort to keep up with their pace. Though my personality is quite dissimilar, there are many attributes that I admire, integrate and emulate into my professional style. It helps bolster my fortitude and doingness.

My favorite doer is YOU

You are the doer that we long to support. Though you may not have been born with the innate skills of the more-endowed Battle Cat, there is a fire that burns within, though at present it may only be a spark, you have a dream or desire for seeing that thing come to fruition.

Regardless of what kind of cat you are, you have the wherewithal to get this thing done; But…

“Everyone’s got a big but.” ~ Pee-wee Herman

Immediately all that suppressive training and bad-learning kicks in and you begin to question yourself, your abilities and your worthiness.

When you are ready, you might as well accept that your birth started you on this hero’s journey and – Surprise! – Guess what? You are the hero of the story of your life.

Think about all the great stories you’ve read, watched or heard about. Take a look at the journey of the hero of the story. In many cases the hero does not start off as much of a hero at all. In all the greatest stories, it is the meek and humble, undeserving individual who accepts the task (though sometimes reluctantly) of taking that first step toward their own growth and heroism.

YOU ARE THE HERO

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, begins in the doing.

Are you willing to do what it takes to do that thing that has been calling you from within (or above)?

Then be the doer you know that you can be.

“But what if people make fun of me?”

Here’s your head’s up notification: People will mock you.

They will try everything they can to dissuade you from achieving your thing. Want to know why?

Because, if you can actually do your thing, it will make them realize that they might have been able to do their thing all along, too. And this might break their heart. They have built their whole life around dreaming about their thing but accepting that it would never be possible for them, so they settle into their complacent position in life. Therefore they are compelled to encourage you to stay with them in the same place.

But there are others, who are watching you, hoping that you win!

They are looking for signs that someone like you can do it because that gives them hope that they, too, can join the ranks of heroes who have gone before and will lead others out of the darkness.

Your heroism will be the light that banishes the darkness that engulfs the lives of countless others because you took that first step and became the doer.

You are the doer

You are the hero

If I Could Just Get One Dollar from Every Person…

If I had a dollar from every person (client or not) who said to me, “If I could just get one dollar from every person…” (fill in the blank), I’d be almost as rich as those who fantasize about the idea, dream of being.

Sure, it’s a great idea, and there are people (and companies) who have done it.

But can you do it?

How to make a million dollars

Can you actually get one dollar from everyone in your target market?

Well, to start; it’s up to you.

You must be willing to start to get the ball rolling… You are going to have to be willing to do some work (just like those who have done it before)… “But,” you say, he/she, “didn’t have to do any work, and look at what happened to them.”

Really?

You’re confusing possible with plausible. While a thing may be possible (as in it actually happened at some time in the past) to think that it is duplicatable may be highly unlikely; for if it were plausible, wouldn’t everyone do it? If you really think that you have a chance of being that lucky, but a lottery ticket and save yourself the grief.

Okay, let’s assume that you’re not looking for free money but you are looking for passive income. Passive income is income that is generated from something that you did in the past that requires little or no maintenance.

Is that plausible? Yes. Many people engage in investments or opportunities requiring work in the beginning that generate recurring income over time.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the biggest selling authors in the world and cash from their continued sales of their books exceed the $1 per person that may seem so illusive to you at this point.

So, if you’re willing and able to write and publish a best-selling book, your chances could be better because you create and market your book in the beginning and if it’s a hit, you earn over the life of the project (as well as possible merchandise tie-ins and maybe even the film rights, etc…).

Besides writing a book, are their other ways to make passive income? You bet; people just like you are doing it every day. For instance you could buy and own a business that you don’t have to work. May be a little spendy at the outset but the continued income could be just what you’re looking for. But if you do this, make sure that you’re the owner, and someone else is doing all the work.

Enterprising creators can create a franchise, phone ap or software, designers (who create an original item that is replicated and they get a piece of the action) as well as inventors.

Rental real estate (where someone else manages the properties and you earn everything over actual expenses), rental stores, in fact rental anything!

Some of the other examples that I’ve seen include ATM machines, vending machines, blogs, e-stores, membership sites, online courses, Laundromats, sell ad space (physical or virtual) and licensing your ideas are just a few more examples of ways you can create continued cash flow off the back end.
