Financial Abundance: 5 Factors

As an “Abundant Life Coach” I get asked about the meaning of “financial abundance” very often. What this means to you can be the difference between living the lifestyle of your dreams, or settling for something less than your dreams. I want you to live the life of your dreams!

Here, then, are the main 5 Factors of Financial Abundance:

“The Abundant Mindset”

Thousands upon thousands of books, articles, media, programs, and so much more have been produced that discuss the awesome power of our minds, and the influence of our thinking upon our lives. It is difficult to say enough or emphasize enough that truth. As I see it, we are exactly as we think.  Read more... (723 words, 5 images, estimated 2:54 mins reading time)

Pay Dirt: 7 Important Concepts To Understand About Money

In my lower-middle-class youth, I was raised to discuss money almost never; money was mostly to be associated with all the evils of the world. As a result of my childhood, I came to hold internal conflicting messages about having money, which made it tough to go out into the world and build abundance.

As I reach the age of fifty, my money intelligence has evolved, of course. I no longer regard money as evil. Just as a gun becomes evil in the wrong hands, so it is with money. How we go about earning it, keeping it, and using it is what truly counts in the end run. Now that may sound elementary, but the implications are many.  Read more...

Aside From Honesty: 7 Vows To Being Happily Married

Despite all the millions of articles, studies, advice, and other “stuff”, it is not rocket science; staying happily married is much easier when you are true to the 7 vows I will share with you. And I warn you: if you see yourself failing in any of these 7 vows, you either have intensive work to do, or you should not be married! I will add that the success of the traditional vows we take on the day we marry – each of those vows – are made possible by these 7 vows.  Read more...

The 3 Best Actions To Take For Depression Or Extreme Difficulty

Depression and having extreme difficulty is a natural and normal fact of life that most of us will deal with either continuously, or at one point or another. This is a very serious condition; it is an illness that often leads to death when untreated.

We live in a fast-paced, fast-food, fast-business, high-stress society. Each new generation faces ever-increasing variables. It is no wonder that people are born with brain-chemical imbalances and/or predisposition for depression…or worse.

There are trained medical and mental health professionals that can absolutely help! If you have a loved one or a friend that is suffering, it is your responsibility to try to get that person to take action for help.  Read more... (662 words, 5 images, estimated 2:39 mins reading time)

5 Steps to the Best Idea You Have Ever Had

I love to get movie DVDs that have an additional disc of just special features! Last night I watched all the documentaries about Howard Hughes, from the DVD “The Aviator”. The special features almost always contain tidbits of this idea or that idea that went into making the film. So often these features are inspiring and are just one place to trigger ideas of my own.  Read more... (666 words, 5 images, estimated 2:40 mins reading time)

The 6 “Must Know” Steps to Lifetime Success and Abundance

So much has been written about success. So many success programs, books, CDs, and other media exist on the subject. A Google search (06.29.10) on the keyword “success” returns over 335-million results.

The term is like one tiny star in the cosmos.

I think it’s safe to say that ‘success’ is/has been an over-used word throughout our human world and throughout (recorded) history.

It’s also fair to say that success means something different for each and every person, and yet most would agree that a simple and accurate definition might be: to obtain a desired result (or set of results).  Read more... (1208 words, 5 images, estimated 4:50 mins reading time)

Motivation and Education

As a teen, my parents made it clear to my sister, brother, and me that successful people attend college and obtain a degree. By implication, it was also clear that those who have no college education are something less than successful. I do not fully agree. Certainly I would agree that higher education equals higher income perhaps ninety percent of the time. The other ten percent or so, who are financially prosperous without college academics, make their fortunes through experience in a lucrative field, and/or good fortune.

As an employer, I have learned that very many employers regard 2- and 4-year degree programs as evidence that a person can complete goals. Beyond that, most companies would agree that education promotes critical thought, refines communication and complexity of expression and reasoning. I enjoy the Albert Einstein quote: “Education is what remains after one has forgotten everything he learned in school.” It is advanced education – specialized post-graduate degrees – that are the extreme value and prepare most effectively for success. Medical school, law school, masters and doctoral certifications absolutely translate to higher incomes. Such people have made a lifelong commitment to education.  Read more...
