Yesterday in our Seize Your Day call Entrepreneur Developement session we talked about being a victim of our past and how it can keep us from moving forward in our lives. Are you a victim of your past or are you a victor? Being personally accountable for our actions is the first step in getting victory.
I found this article written by John Robson which I found to be helpful in understanding this toppic.
All of us carry wounds from the past. We may or may not be conscious of them. Either way, they inhibit our ability to embrace life. If we want more of life’s blessings, we need to heal our wounds – our repressed emotions and old patterns and limiting beliefs.How do we identify these wounds? We can dig deep into our memory banks in an effort to uncover the experiences that first brought us pain and trauma. Or we can address our pain when it surfaces in daily living.
The past makes itself known to us in the present. We get clues about subconscious issues when we become aware now that we are uncomfortable, in distress or pain. Pain is there for a reason: to make us conscious of what is presently unconscious in us. If we become aware that we are tense, angry, resentful or afraid, for example, we know something is calling for our attention. Unhappy memories from the past are being triggered. We have the opportunity to heal the past by dealing with our discomfort in this moment. We grow by moving into and through pain, not away from it. That’s the only way we can learn from it. And so we grow by embracing those qualities we instinctively want to resist. Our aim is to embrace the ‘bad’ and the ‘good’ in wholeness.
How do we do this? By bringing love into the situation and by using the power of imagination to see a bigger picture.A Healing Process: The 4 E’sThe 4 E’s give a basic framework for working with any challenges that arise so you may more easily learn their lessons and let them go. 1. Experience your realityBe aware of how you are feeling and allow yourself to experience your reality. We cannot heal something we have not yet owned! So really feel what’s happening in your body. Feel the emotions. Be aware of what you are thinking. Honour your experience by being present to it! What is it telling you?
2. Elevate and expand your perspectivesBecome an impartial but loving witness to your own personality’s experience. The key here is detachment. Elevate your perspective so you can see what’s going on without being swallowed up by it. As a witness to your own experience, do not judge, criticize, condemn or commiserate – just watch with compassion. From this perspective, ask yourself, “What am I being invited to learn?” When we glimpse the answer to this question, we find purpose in our suffering.
3. Embrace the lower and higher qualities together in wholenessIdentify the negative qualities that are challenging you, like fear, anger, doubt, jealousy, despair or grief. Then identify the opposite positive qualities. For example, the opposite of fear may be courage or love. The opposite of doubt may be faith. If this is a challenge for you, consider what you would prefer to be feeling. If you’re feeling angry, you might prefer to feel peaceful.Now use your imagination to sit with both qualities of the duality at the same time. (I imagine myself as a loving or courageous grandparent hugging the distressed part of me.) Recognize that both qualities are part of the same spectrum of experience. You cannot have one without the other. Together, they create wholeness. Also recognize that a part of you always has access to the higher energy. That’s what we have to learn. Trust that this experience of wholeness heals.
4. Express to anchor your experienceAnything you can do to reinforce the healing will strengthen the integration. For example, you might:• write about your experience in your journal. • meditate on your experience. • share your insights with someone you trust. • express forgiveness to yourself and/or others. Any effort to affirm accepting the ‘bad’ and the ‘good’ in wholeness will support a shift in consciousness. This simple process is powerful. Some degree of healing always occurs. It teaches us to acknowledge rather than resist our discomfort. It helps us abandon our need to be perfect and become authentic instead. It connects us to the higher qualities that are always available to us. It brings unconditional love to situations where love is typically absent. It helps us accept, forgive and love ourselves. And this is the essential first step before we can accept, forgive and love others.
Take time to learn the process by repeatedly doing the following exercise. Once you become familiar with the steps, you will be able to apply them on the spot, when you become aware that you are upset in some way. The more you explore and release the irritations and suffering that naturally arise daily, the more you will heal the past. Life will open up for you as your personality blossoms from your own unconditional love.EXERCISE: Learn the 4 E’s Healing ProcessFind some quiet time where you won’t be disturbed. Recall a recent experience that upset you. Close your eyes and use your memory to relive that scenario. When you’re ready, begin to work through the first 3 steps: Experience, Elevate or expand your perspectives and Embrace. When the pain of the memory has eased, gently and slowly bring your consciousness to the present and then take some action to Express what you’ve learned.

8 Competitive Advantages
When choosing a business, there are several things to consider which are important to you making money or you losing money in your home business. Be sure to consider each of these points when making your decision.
· Continuity product program – does it continue to expand on a real time basis. This is important as the market is continually changing as well as the marketing strategies that we need to use.
· World Class Training - does the company you are looking at provide world class training and support? Most of the time the distributors and enrollers are providing most of the training which takes a lot of time and skills. Few people have the time and skills necessary.
· No pass up sales – When you get into business I assume that you are doing it to make money. If you make a sale, do you want to give those profits to someone else when you did the work and bore the expense? No. I wouldn’t either.
· In profit with only 3 people – Wouldn’t it be nice to be making money without having to recruit many people? Well you can in some business opportunities. Make sure that the business is set up so that you can start making profits fast. Also check the commission percentage. Seven or eight percent is pretty low. Aim for fifty percent, otherwise you will just be making money for your sponsor and upline.
· Marketing set up service – when we first get started, most of us don’t know anything about getting everything set up. Does company X offer me help in getting my marketing set up?
· Focus Group – will you have access to the leaders of the company? Can you share your ideas with someone who has the power to implement them in the company if they are viable? Will I have the opportunity to express my concerns or get things changed that don’t work. This should be on a regular basis.
· Combination of high and low profit points – Everyone has different needs and desires. Is there something for everyone or will I be limited to the few people who want what I have or can afford it? The majority of the people coming into this industry don’t have extra money.
· Ultimate product – What is the ultimate product? In the affiliate marketing and network marketing or MLM business arena, the most important thing for me or any newbie coming into the business is to have the proper training, teaching and entrepreneur development program so that their success can be certain. There are companies that provide this part of the equation and do a very good job at it. In the past, the industry has had a 97% failure rate and that has been largely because this part – the know how training – has been sorely missing. Make sure that you have this kind of training available even if you have to outsource it from your primary company.
For an example of a company that provides excellent know how training and entrepreneur development, click here.
I’m know that you are like everyone else; you are in business to make money. So do your homework and make sure that the business opportunity that you are looking for has these competitive advantages so that you are sure to make money.

Why is Having a Coach/Mentor Important?
Every aspiring athlete has a coach. The top athletes whether Olympic or Professional hire their own personal coach and trainer(s). Each trainer has their own specialty. Take Tiger Woods for example. He doesn’t just do it on his own.
Is it a weakness to need a coach to help you?
My answer to that is NO. A coach helps you to stay focused and accountable. There are so many opportunities around us to get us sidetracked. Whether it is family, entertainment, work or just wanting to take it easy, these things can keep us from reaching our goal. Or like many of us we needed help to believe in ourselves and in the business or we will not take the action that we need to take. You also need someone to teach you the skills that are necessary to be successful, whether in business or as an athlete or even as a mom or dad.
As a business owner, I want to be a successful as I can be. So I wanted to find the best mentor that I could find in my field of interest. For me that is in network marketing and internet marketing so I looked for a coach who was being very successful. In fact I have more than one coach because each person has their own areas of expertise. Some are good at goal setting while others are good with mindset and others are able to teach you the technical skills or communication skills that everyone needs to be successful.
So now, if you are wanting to be successful in something whether just starting out or wanting to go to the next level, begin looking for a mentor and a coach who can take you there. Everyone that I know of who has been very successful in anything has had a coach to help them get there. Now they too can be a mentor to others and what a fantastic way to build a business to help others to build their business because now everyone will want to join your business because you Know How!
Don’t wait to look for an entrepreneur development program. Remember, every Olympian and every top athlete had a coach and mentor to help them get to where they got. With the right mentor, you can and will do it too!

Make You Day Count
Every day is a gift to us! What we make of it is totally up to you and me. Do you know what you are going to do today? Have you made any plans for your day yet?
As a business entrepreneur, I have goals and targets that I want to get accomplished. Some of those goals are long term like 5 to 10 years away but some of them are much shorter like one month to a year. What I do now will determine whether or not I attain those goals in the future or not. And if I really apply myself well and have a little luck, I may just blow right by those goals. Wouldn’t that be just great!
It all starts here and now. TODAY! Today must count. What is it that is the most important thing or task that you need to accomplish today. Then plan to do that task during a part of your day that you are at peek performance and are least likely to be interfered with. Each of us has our favorite time of the day in which we prefer to engage in those tasks that require our complete attention and concentration. You know when that is so when you plan your day, schedule the tasks that will require the most concentration during that time. Then go from there and schedule in the easier things that need to be done.
Those things might be washing clothes, mowing the lawn, washing dishes, fixing the car and the list goes on. Do you understand why you need to ‘seize your day’ if you are going to get all of those things done? For me, I have lots of things to do. As a farmer, there are times when I am very busy in the field or working on machinery or doing paper work. As an Organic farmer, there is a fair amount of documenting and record-keeping that needs to be done. So when am I going to do the necessary tasks that need to be done to build my internet marketing business?
Well for me that time is right now. Before I get busy with everything else. If I don’t take the time to do my marketing at the proper time, it just might not get done. And oh, I forgot about my family. Four kids and a wife… yes they need some time too! I’m sure that you get the idea by now. Each and every one of us needs to plan out our day so that we are sure that we accomplish those tasks that ‘must be done’ in order for us to reach our long term goals. Remember this-we will reach our long term goals and dreams because we reached our short term goals and that may be as short as planning one hour at a time.
I was told by an elderly person many years ago that a successful day starts the evening before. Start thinking about your next day. What do I want to accomplish and what do I need to line up now to make that happen. Also, what time do I need to start my day to get it all done. So maybe I should get to bed in a good time so I will get enough rest. Take some time to think about these things. Don't work youself too hard, be sur to take some time for R&R!
And remember this; every day is a gift to us! What we make of it is totally up to you and me. Have an awesome day!

I Took The 21 Day Challenge
This past week I have been taking the 21 Day Challenge. It has been a good week and I am now getting more accomplished each day than I was before!
You might be wondering what is that all about? Well my entrepreneur development coach is the one who challenged each of her students to take the challenge. Our lives are filled with many different things. Many of them are important things such as Work, Family, Church, House work, Helping others and many of them are not so important such as watching TV, Surfing the Internet (for fun) or reading all of our emails, or maybe just relaxing and thinking about what is going on in our life.
Most of us have a dream or a goal that we would like to reach and accomplish during our lifetime or maybe even this year. That dream may be to be an entrepreneur making six figures, or maybe a Noble cause of some type, or maybe to doing something for your family, or to just have freedom in your life. Maybe you just need to make ends meet for your family. But more often than not, for most people those THINGS that take up our time keep us from ever reaching our dream, UNLESS… we take the challenge and deal with those things that are obstacles keeping us from seeing our goals fulfilled.
If that is you, I want to invite you to join me in the 21 Day Challenge. Every week day at 11:00am EST I join my coach in the Seize Your Day conference call. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur and want to grow, this is a free training session—every day! Take advantage of it!
Yes it’s not easy to obtain your dream. That’s why most people never reach it. I am challenging you to not be satisfied where you are at right now. Take the challenge and be one of those that can say, I DID IT!!!
