http://yourguidetogreatness.com I have received an incredible number of calls and emails over the past few months from people just like you asking how can I overcome fear and move forward with my life or how can I become more courageous? These are fantastic questions and I am excited to share some powerful and life changing insights with you right now on both fear and courage. Have you ever stopped to consider what exactly is courage and how does one obtain it? Personally I think its a complicated, misunderstood and elusive human virtue. We tend to want to define it in terms of deeds or circumstances we think of it as something that we do once in a while rather than who we are as human beings.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ Do you often put off your most important tasks until later, while filling your day with the emergencies of others and jobs you know are not really that important? Do you lie to yourself and say that you will have more time tomorrow to start the task and do it properly? Do you fool yourself into believing that you work better under pressure when the deadline is imminent? Do you hesitate and worry when you need to make a decision? Speaking to you as one who knows, procrastination is in fact the number one reason that most people are not as successful as they say they would like to be.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ Goal setting is an area that is largely misunderstood and we receive emails every day from people asking why does goal setting work and how they can reach their goals? I would like to share with you some valuable insights and information that answers those questions clearly.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ It is very possible that the concept of forgiveness may be the most misunderstood and underutilized skill in the human experience. In the Greek language, forgiveness is the same word as release or letting go. This definition conjures up sensations of liberation, capitulation and freedom. On paper, it reads like a natural and benevolent process something one freely GIVES to another to release yourself and others from the past. In practice however, it is often misunderstood as something that someone who has done us wrong must ASK of us.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ One of the most popular questions that I get from clients and from our community of supporters around the world is this how can I change my life, right now..TODAY? It seems that many people want to put the past behind them or make some changes to some aspect of their life that will transform the future and their results for the better. The good news is that for the first time in history we are able to prove through empirical scientific study just how relevant our thoughts are. We are able to show that our thoughts do influence the world around us in a measurable way.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ I asked you right now whether the past = future, most of you would say well, of course not. We all know that what happened in the past is no guarantee of what will happen in the future. We know this theoretically, but unfortunately, few people live their lives that way. Many people struggle to let go of what happened to them in the past. They feel that because they have been unsuccessful in some endeavour in the past (an intimate relationship gone wrong, losing weight and gaining it right back, quitting smoking and restarting, a job/business that didnt work out....) that it is somehow a sign they will not be successful in the future.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ Do you find yourself asking for THIS and THAT with the Law of Attraction... and not getting the results that you want? In fact, the secret to manifesting your desires may be as simple as asking the right question... I believe the critical question to ask is: WHY do you want IT _____ (the desire)? Do you believe that getting it will mean that you'll finally have ____ (the real result you desire)? Is having the ____ (real result) the driving force behind you getting the ____ (desire), or is there a much deeper reason _____ (a deeper meaning)?

http://yourguidetogreatness.com Are you? •Having trouble reaching your goals? •Concerned something seems to be blocking your way? •Constantly doing things you know are not helpful/productive? •Not doing (or avoiding) some of the things you know you should be doing? You may be a victim of self-sabotage... But WHY on earth would you want to sabotage yourself? That's a complicated question with a very simple answer... Because your mind is wired that way: Self Sabotage is an automatic response of the subconscious mind.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ Without a doubt, the number #1 question I get asked by clients is How do I break a bad habit like procrastination, worry, insomnia, negative thinking, smoking.... There are a million examples of ways that each one of us holds our own success back by doing an unproductive habit. It has been scientifically proven that our brain circuits take engrams or memory traces, and produce neuro connections only if they are bombarded with the information for 21 days in a row. This means that our brain does not accept new data or habit changes unless they are repeated each day for at least 21 days, without missing a day.

http://yourguidetogreatness.com/ Science has already proven that the brain does not know the difference between what is vividly imagined and reality. If we experience only a fraction of what is possible in terms of the stimuli that we notice or pay attention to, and our experiences are directly influenced by what we value, believe and expect, then it follows that by changing what is happening in our mind we can actually change our entire reality. If you act as though you are courageous, then you will be courageous. If you act as though you are confident and take on the persona of someone who is confident, then you become confident immediately. Because our mind has such a profound influence on our external experience, adopting and making beneficial emotional states a regular habit is the first step to truly mastering your life.

http://financialforeplaybook.com It’s Not Them, It’s YOU! Why you’re the biggest obstacle in your business... If you didn’t have any problems or challenges in your business, would you consider yourself successful?  Most business owners make the fatal mistake of assuming that because they face issues and difficulties, it means they must not be successful.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

http://financialforeplaybook.com I want you to imagine that you are playing an important game of tennis. There is a big crowd and everything seems to be going to plan. You’re playing well…you’re winning points... victory can’t be far away. There’s only one problem: there’s no scoreboard and no one except the umpire knows what’s really going on.

http://financialforeplaybook.com Finding the right balance between debt and equity At some point - for the purpose of start up, acquisition or expansion - every business owner must make a decision to either borrow money… or inject funds (in the form of equity). As you know, equity can come from your own personal savings or the cash of a third party and is exchanged for an ownership interest in the business, with no set repayment term. Debt on the other hand does not give the lender a share and usually has a repayment term and interest component.

http://financialforeplaybook.com If you’re in business, one of the most important questions that you must be asking yourself is “what is the best way to grow your business?” How can you take what you have, expand on it but keep your costs as low as possible? Fortunately, history has given us plenty of good examples of how NOT to do this. Perhaps the best of those, happened in 2001 – when thousands of companies went under in the dot com bubble.

http://financialforeplaybook.com How is Your Hard Earned Profit Trapped in Your Business? I would like to ask you a provocative (and controversial) question: Do you plan on dying in your business? In the past 2 months I have presented to over 5000 business owners and I’ve asked them all that same question. Usually it generates a laugh – which is great for me as a speaker because I want to connect with and engage my audience. There is only 1 problem......I wasn’t, and I’m not trying to be funny. I’m quite serious about asking you this confronting question.

http://financialforeplaybook.com It doesn’t matter whether you are an entrepreneur or a senior manager of a large company, if you’re in business... you’re likely on the lookout right now for new and cost effective ways to grow your sales and your bottom line. Aren’t you? And chances are you’ve looked around and found 101 ways to use social media to find new customers, write effective press releases, talk to your customers with permission based marketing, write a better yellow pages ad.....blah blah blah. And all of these tactics have one thing in common – they all cost time and money and they might not improve your bottom line. So what if I told you that you are actually making a classic business mistake – You are chasing customers instead of focusing on profitable sales. There’s a difference.

http://financialforeplaybook.com If your business doesn’t operate on a COD basis – you may be wondering “how can you get your customers to pay you quicker”? Receivables directly impact your cash flow position. Your ability to keep the total amount outstanding and the age of those debts low, will help you pay your taxes and creditors on time and reduce your need to rely on external financing.

http://financialforeplaybook.com Release The #1 Pent up Frustration in Your Business Did you know that inventory is one of the great hidden costs of business? Very few business owners understand its importance and the significance of keeping it under control. Inventory ties up your cash while providing little benefit to revenue – until the items are sold. Excessive inventory can weigh a business down and ultimately lead to revenue losses.

http://imagineeringunlimited.com It has often been said that “profit is pointless and cash is King”... But do you know why? Knowing exactly where you stand financially – i.e. your cash position – means that you don’t have to wonder “do I have enough money to cover my rent and wages this month?” The health and vitality of your business are dependent upon your ability to cover all tax obligations, payments to suppliers and operational expenses as they come due in your business.
