Get out of your own WAY!
I, like many people, love personal development and peak human potential. I read all the books I can get my hands on. I made a study of personal development and I can't get enough of it. I get bothered when I see people waste their talents and gifts or worst, never even discover their gifts. It's so sad to hear people say the things they say about themselves or their circumstance.
I don't deny that we all go through tough times. I have had my fair share but when I talk to someone who tells me about there goals and dream they usually follow it up with reasons why they have not achieved their goals and dreams.
Typically, I hear about how bad their past was. They would go on for awhile then it would dawn on me that they are not simply remembering the past they are living it. And reliving it over and over again. It's as though they are trapped in this perpetual cycle of pain and hurt. They don't realize that it is them that is keeping them in the past.
Listen, I know people who lug around 30+ years of garbage because they can't seem to let it go. But it doesn't have to be that way for you or I. You future starts now! Independent from the past. The past is okay to visit but you can't live there.
Project into the future then work your way backwards. Giving up the past and striving for what lies ahead. You are limited by your attitude and thought about who you are. The great news is that you control both!
Oliver Wendell Holmes:
Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -- but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
Anais Nin:
Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death.
Until next time....Robert

Repost:10 Social Networks for Entrepreneur
This is a article I just had to share. Enjoy!
Top 10 Social Network for Entreprenuers
Dan Schawbel is the author of Me 2.0: Build a Powerful Brand to Achieve Career Success (Kaplan, April 09), and owner of the award winning Personal Branding Blog.
Looking for a job? Consider creating your own. There are a number of social resources to help you connect with other entrepreneurs and get your business ideas off the ground.
Here are the top 10 social networks for entrepreneurs. Each helps entrepreneurs succeed by providing them with the guidance, tools and resources they need to setup their company and gain exposure.
Have another social site to add to this list? Tell us about it in the comments.
1. Entrepreneur Connect
Entrepreneur Media, the company that produces Entrepreneur Magazine, started a social network over a year ago specifically for entrepreneurs and small business owners called Entrepreneur Connect. Like all social networks, you have the opportunity to create your own profile, explore the community, share ideas with other entrepreneurs and network. Unlike most social networks, this one frowns upon too much self-promotion and applauds idea sharing.
You can use this network to connect to service providers, suppliers, advisers and colleagues. Just like LinkedIn and FacebookFacebook, there are professional groups that you can join or create. Another cool feature is that you’re able to start your own blog and possibly have it appear on the main page. This is similar to what Fast Company has done with their website.
2. PartnerUp
PartnerUp is a social network for entrepreneurs who are searching for people and resources for business opportunities. Anyone can join, but business partners, co-founders, executives and board members will get the most out of this one. In this network, you can ask or offer advice, find commercial real estate and find service providers like accountants and marketers for your business.
The big differentiator with this social network is the commercial real estate “MoveUpSM” program that serves entrepreneurs who have experienced a hard time trying to find office space for their business. They also have a Resource Directory that allows small and mid-sized businesses to advertise their services.
3. StartupNation
Most social networks neglect the content aspect that makes StartupNation so useful. With articles, forums, blogs, on-demand seminars, and podcasts, entrepreneurs will be better prepared for their ventures and have the resources required to make better business decisions.
There are a wide range of topics being discussed on StartupNation right now, including business planning, marketing and web-based business. The site also offers a series of competitions, such as a dorm-based 20 contest and an elevator pitch competition. If you’re an entrepreneur or hope to become one, this site is definitely one you can’t miss out on.
4. LinkedIn
It’s difficult to leave LinkedInLinkedIn off of any social networking list because it’s so useful for anyone who’s either searching for a job, is trying to network with like-minded individuals, or building a company. LinkedIn offers many resources for entrepreneurs, such as groups, including the very popular “On Startups” group that has over 54,000 members.
Entrepreneurs on LinkedIn should brand themselves properly so they can attract the right kind of business opportunities, and perform searches to find service providers or partners. As an entrepreneur, you should also be looking to participate in LinkedIn Answers, events and applications to spruce up your profile and become a valuable member to your community.
5. Biznik
This isn’t another LinkedIn clone. Instead, Biznik brands itself as a social network that “doesn’t suck.” The Biznik community is composed of freelancers, CEOs, and the self-employed. Like the other networks, this is a place for you to share ideas, instead of posting your resume. It is mandatory for all members to use their real names and provide real data, and Biznik editors actually review all profiles to ensure compliance with that policy. There are three levels of membership, including basic, active ($10 a month for an enhanced profile) and supporting ($24 a month for increased visibility).
6. Perfect Business
If you want to meet thousands of serious entrepreneurs, experts and investors from a variety of industries, then Perfect Business might be the perfect social network for you. The type of people you’ll find are potential business partners, potential clients and advisers. Additionally, the site has leading business partners like Entrepreneur and Virgin Money.
From business networking to a video center where you can learn from successful entrepreneurs, a business plan builder and even an investor center, you’ll have most of the resources you need to create or regenerate your business. There is a free basic membership and a gold membership that costs $29.99 per month.
7. Go BIG Network
The Go BIG Network embraces job seekers, in addition to funding sources, service providers and entrepreneurs. In this social network, you post requests for help, which are then routed to other people in the network that can answer your questions or support you. Members of this social network can search through profiles of other members, contact them or post a request (a classified ad) to talk about what they are looking for (such as a business partner). The profiles on this network are targeted and specific so it’s easy to find an investor in a particular region.
8. Cofoundr
The Cofoundr network is made up of idea makers, entrepreneurs, programmers, web designers, investors, freelancers and executives. The primary purpose of joining this network is to start a new web venture. Unlike most of the social networks already listed here, Cofoundr is a strictly private network, which means that you can’t view member profiles before you register for an account.
Membership requires having a valid university or work email address, which means high schools students and younger aren’t allowed. The first thing you have to do is sign up, then specify your abilities and the people you are trying to network with and finally, post your idea on the bulletin board or in the forum.
9. The Funded
The Funded is an online community of entrepreneurs who research, rate and review funding sources. Entrepreneurs can view and share terms sheets to assist each other in finding good investors, as well as discuss the inner workings of operating a business. General benefits of this site include viewing facts, reviews and commentary on funding resources, and accessing RSS feeds of the most recent public comments by members.
By joining the site, you have access to detailed fund profiles with specialty, reference investments, and investment criteria, in addition to accessing partner vCards that have full contact information of all partners at venture funds. In order to get any value out of this social network, you pretty much have to become a member.
10. Young Entrepreneur
If you’re young, entrepreneurial and socially active or just curious, then Young Entrepreneur is a great starting point for you. This community appears as a discussion forum, with topics such as e-commerce, search engine optimization, marketing, IT & Internet, and franchising. Aside from their main forum and threads, there is a popular blog and some great videos.

Repost: Thriving in a bad economy
This is an interesting piece from Tony Robbins Company. I need to get one of his events.
How to Thrive in a Changing Business World
The Benefits of the Uncertainty Paradox
Today's small business owner faces monumental challenges. The economic meltdown, global competition and customers' reluctance to spend have woven together to create the perception of an impenetrable barrier to success. Underpinning these challenges is evolving technology that's changing the way consumers and businesses make decisions. Many business owners feel they've been forced into intense white water rapids—without a guide or familiar signposts. Simply keeping afloat is the goal of many. Finding new customers is also much harder. Shrinking attention spans, more choices and excessive marketing noise have most people tuning out. Add that consumers can effortlessly jump to competitors, and business owners face major obstacles. What can be done to course correct the business? Is there a fast track to business success, even in these tumultuous times? Despite the challenges, businesses are thriving in this complex environment by implementing the uncertainty paradox—a business model that applies a series of proven steps, concepts and tools to help companies succeed in uncertain times. This white paper will reveal how uncertainty offers opportunity to those who embrace the paradox. Major Trends Impacting Businesses In times of constant change, trust becomes the new currency of business. Who do customers trust? Unfortunately, most don't trust companies. A global study on consumer trust found that people trust friends over businesses. Nearly half of the study participants trust suggestions from friends, while only 27 percent believe what's on a company's website and a mere 18 percent trust what's in the company brochure. Consumer trust has plummeted over the last two decades. In 1993, slightly more than half of consumers trusted major brands, according to The Brand Bubble. However, by 2008 consumer trust shrunk to only 25 percent. "Consumers increasingly sift brands that genuinely deliver superior value from those that are simply going through the motions of branding— advertising, logos and so on—but are in fact little more than commodities," stated the Los Angeles Times. The recent global economic collapse has likely pushed consumer trust to new lows. The lack of trust can stop people from making logical decisions. For example, one in three Internet users in the United Kingdom do not shop online due to a lack of trust. Despite the discounts available via the web, a significant number of consumers stick with their trusted offline relationships. In an interesting twist, 92 percent of consumers are more confident about the information they view online than comments from salespeople in retail outlets, found a LinkShare study. "The new online consumer is independent and less likely to trust recommendations of a salesperson or be swayed by the emotional appeal of a TV ad," says Jeffrey Grau, eMarketer senior analyst. Clearly the business world has changed, creating many challenges for small business owners.

There are different types of currency that makes the world go round and money is only one of them. First there is emotional currency, spiritual currency, physical currency, character currency and financial currency. Let’s examine each:
Emotional currency: emotional currency can be defined as, for example, filling your spouses love tank. You have heard of the term emotionally bankrupt. You have to keep investing emotionally in your relationship in order to keep the passion or bond strong. Building emotional currency comes when you speak your spouses love language and practice forgiveness among other things for emotional connection and interaction.
Spiritual currency: spiritual currency is the inner strength of a person. It’s the power that lies beyond the physical and the ego. It’s renewed inner strength, emotional integrity and power to change your reality. It is acquired through prayer and communion with the Creator.
Physical currency: this currency is simple to understand. The more we invest in our health through exercise, nutrition, relaxation and stretching the greater output we get from our bodies. We feel rejuvenated and gain certain vitality when we take care of our bodies on a deep level. I often say being physically fit is not a goal, it’s a lifestyle. Physical currency pays off in good health.
Financial currency: We are aware of the currency of cold hard cash but there is more to it than that. Financial currency comes in the form of a financial statement, credit, assets and commodities. In fact, financial currency is anything that can gain or create value. Obviously, financial currency can be abused and misused and lead us to financial ruin. While others who properly manage money and assets prosper beyond compare.
Character currency: The greatest of these is character currency. Character currency can get you all the rest, you can’t buy character but character can get you money. You can’t exercise your way into character but character can get you to exercise. Spirituality is part of who you are and a way of life, It will take strength of character to live it out. Character also gives you the self control in order to manage your emotions.
The universe is governed by laws be it spiritual, metaphysical or scientific. Call it karma, cause and effect, relativity, motion, attraction or any other law. Call it what you will, they all stem from the creative source, God. We are only discovering what God has already done but we create our lives through character. We can either shape our life through character or our life will shape our character. The difference is being proactive or reactive.
You’ve heard of Newton’s law: “For every action there’s an equal reaction”. This is found in the bible in Matthew 18:18 when Jesus said “I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. The same is true for character, what you do in your character has effects in the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual realms. At the end of the day your outer world is determined by your inner world. It’s time to start living consciously and proactively.

Investing in Significance
Hi all
I am very excited about the release of my new book; Character Coins: Investing in Significance. It took 2 years but it is finally done. I will be looking for reviewers for the book, if you are interested let me know. (limited quantity for reviews)
About the book
Character Coins are the spiritual side of success. In short it is character development. It's about creating inner victories so that your outer world will reflect your inner experience. It's called the Law of Correspondence but the book is also based on biblical principles as well.
I've made a study of character and looked at it from multiple angles; biblically, metaphysically, and through philosophy.
Biblically
Proverbs 12:2
The Lord approves of those who are good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness
Matthew 12:35
A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.
Universal Law
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world: it corresponds with your dominate pattern of thinking.
Philosophy
Nature magically suites a man to his fortune by making them the fruit of his character. -R.W. Emerson
Instead of saying man is a creature of circumstance, it would be nearer to say that man is the architect of circumstance. -Thomas Carlyle
It's a whole new way of looking at personal growth and success!
I'll keep you posted

Character Coins are the spiritual side of success. In short it is character development. It's about creating inner victories so that your outer world will reflect your inner experience. It's called the Law of Correspondence but the book is also based on biblical principles as well.
I've made a study of character and looked at it from multiple angles; biblically, metaphysically, and through philosophy.
Biblically
Proverbs 12:2
The Lord approves of those who are good, but he condemns those who plan wickedness
Matthew 12:35
A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart.
Universal Law
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world: it corresponds with your dominate pattern of thinking.
Philosophy
Nature magically suites a man to his fortune by making them the fruit of his character. -R.W. Emerson
Instead of saying man is a creature of circumstance, it would be nearer to say that man is the architect of circumstance. -Thomas Carlyle
It's a whole new way of looking at personal growth and success!
I'll keep you posted

Hello All
Well I had to change blog locations due to technical difficulties and so here we are. Unless I find some way of archiving I may be doing some reposting. That's how it goes!
I'd love to here comments on all posts because you add value to me as well. So feel free to tell me about any success stories on moral victories, prosperity and goal achievements.
Welcome to my blog and I'll talk to you soon!
