Popularized in The Secret movie and book, the concept of “Be Do Have” has created a great deal of controversy.  There are those that believe, those that don’t and those that want to believe but can’t figure out how to apply it in their lives.  Whichever group you fall into, I say … Great! 

Turning people’s attention toward the possibilities has given each of us as individuals the opportunity to assess our beliefs.  In the process, you decide.  Either way, it brings you to YOUR truth and that’s all that matters.  The ultimate outcome is you live your life more consciously and that is the only agenda I have.  That is my mission.

My mission is to help people like YOU live consciously.  Decide how to live life, realize who you really are and the ability, no the *power* you have to create a lifestyle you want, rather than be a victim to the external circumstances that surround you.  Just be open enough to consider for a moment the possibility that you are not a victim to your circumstances.

Every Moment Is A New Moment So The Past Does Not Equal The Future

For years people have commonly assumed, thought, and been culturally programmed to believe that

• IF they HAVE what they want (car, house, boat),
• they will be able to DO what they want (play with their friends),
• only then will they BE what they want (happy). 

Hence, the underlying assumption that external factors dictate or *cause* internal responses.  In other words, my happiness *depends* on what is happening in my life on the outside.

Well following that logic will only cause misery and heartache and unhappiness, because you cannot control every-thing and every-one in your environment.  Nor is it fathomable to think you can or have a right to dictate what another chooses to create in their life.  You are setting yourself up for failure right from the start.

In essence, the basic tenets of the BE DO HAVE philosophy is that the order is actually reversed from what people previously believed for years.   Try this on for size …

• First, you allow yourself to BE in a state of mind (happy, content, without inner conflict of intention)
• which will inspire you to DO whatever it takes (work hard, start an online business, buy property, visit an orphanage)
• to attract what you really want to HAVE in your life (financial security, world peace, a rewarding relationship, help others). 

And that pertains to all areas of your life, not just financial.  Hence, the underlying assumption that the only thing you *can* control is YOU, and more specifically, what about you?  … your thoughts.  You can only control what you choose to focus on.  And yes, you do have a choice.  Let’s explore that a bit further, shall we.

Psychology – Perception is Selective

Many theories in psychology academia concur that perception is selective.  Well, who cares what they say … what’s your experience?  Don’t give up your power to others.  Go within.  Trust yourself.  Look to your own experience, your own feelings.  So, let’s see …  in your environment right now, there is (let’s just say) 1 million pieces of information and for whatever reason, you choose 100 of them to give your attention. 

For example, what does the tip of your toe feel like right now?  Can you feel it?  Now that “feeling” was a piece of information that was in your environment, being processed, before I drew your attention to it, but it wasn’t until I mentioned it, that you became *aware* of it.  It wasn’t until you focussed on it, that you became *conscious* of it. 

I remember, when we bought a new red Mitsubishi I started seeing them everywhere and yet I had never noticed them before.  Well, do you think everyone went out and bought one the same day I did?  No.  That piece of information in my environment became more relevant to me personally and so I noticed that.  See what I mean?  Focus influences perception.

Well, given that you actually have a choice, you have two options: You can choose to focus on the positive aspects of a particular subject or you can choose to focus on the negative aspects.  They are both there – no denying.  One is no more real than another.  It always astounds me that people say “I’m a realist” when they are really justifying their choice to focus on the negative.  The fact of the matter is … one is no more *real* than the other, because nothing is really real; it’s all relative.  Because the way you see something may be different from how I see it.  You may see something as negative and I may see it as positive.  So what is real?  We won’t go there right now.  We’d never come back.

The point is .. you have a choice of what to focus on in your mind.  You can direct your thoughts.  It takes discipline to constantly focus on the positive aspects, that’s true, but the effort is worth it because of the influence it has on your vibration – the rate at which energy vibrates.  Now don’t be scared off by that term.  It’s not heeby jeeby; it’s actually quite logical and firmly based in the scientific realm of quantum physics.  Stay with me here and let me explain.

Science – Energy Vibrates Predictably

We all know that energy is the building blocks of the universe, right?  We are all energy.  Everything is energy.  Every single atom, molecule, quark … (you know all those funny named balls you memorized for the science exam) is made up of energy vibrating at different speeds.  Well, now scientific studies are confirming theories regarding the influence of our thoughts on the energy within us and also around us.  Turns out, what you focus on in your thoughts has an influence on how fast those molecules vibrate, it has an influence on the energy you emit into the universe.

Now the ramifications of chasing down that rabbit hole are outside the scope of this article, but it is an incredibly interesting study to find out how the world works.  I’ll add some links later that go into this subject further.

In fact, more than interesting, a thorough understanding would empower you to consciously control your energy vibration and hence attract or create a life that you want.  Mmmmm??? Now that’s starting to sound an awful lot like thoughts attracting results to me.  Go figure.

Hence, the evolution of our universal beliefs about HOW the world works.  Given that one theory sets you up for failure and the other sets you up for happiness, or at least the positive side of the scale, it seems logical to choose to follow the Be Do Have Model of Thought.  In studying and applying this model, you will come to understand how The Secret of How to Apply the Law of Attraction so you can create a life that you want – maybe even a Dream Lifestyle.

You will be absolutely amazed at the results in your life.

hello world.. how the heck are ya????

Nowhere does that expose its truth more than on the internet.  I have several online mentors that inspire, motivate and coach me to greatness constantly, even though I’ve been in business longer than one of them has been alive … (well, nearly).   

I wanted to add that little quip to demonstrate that wisdom can come from anywhere.  Personally, I don’t judge the messenger when deciding whether or not the message has merit.  Instead, I decide whether the message works for me.  I ask myself a few key questions:  How do I feel about it?  Does it resonate with me?  Will it work in my life? 

I want to share with you part of an email that I got today from my 25 year old mentor, my mate (in the ozi colloquial kinda way) … Jonathan Budd.  I intended to do a post

So what is it I’m talking about?  I’ve talked about it before… and I’ll talk about it again.  It’s called ‘Attraction Marketing’  And it is the art that will allow you to EFFORTLESSLY manifest your business desires.

In fact, attraction marketing is just down right fun.  I can’t even tell you how fun it is to come home from your massage therapist and find you have new voice mails from interested prospects, made $500 in sales, and generated over 10 new leads while you were getting those kinky knots out of your back.  It’s a tough existence I tell ya…  And the SCIENCE of how to do all of this comes down to one thing and one thing only…

Demonstrating, Conveying, and ‘COMMUNICATING’ Genuine value that will help people move closer to their goals in life.

In other words…you ‘GENUINELY’ have value to offer people… so they are attracted to you to receive more of it.  It’s so simple, yet so few of us actually put this universal law into action.  So few of us actually take the time to DEVELOP skills and abilities that are GENUINELY useful to other people.

I want you to think about this for a moment…

You want to be successful right?  You want people to follow you, join you, and trust you as a leader who can help them achieve their goals right? Well…can you truly give that to them?  Have you developed the INTERNAL and EXTERNAL value to offer people…so they ‘actively’ will choose to join you over 98% of the other people out there?  Hmm, that’s a tough question to ask.  Because the answer might not be an easy one to swallow.

Here’s what I see sometimes…

I see so many of us ’skipping’ crucial steps to success.  I see us wanting the money to be flowing in, but having skipped the DIRE steps needed to attract that money to us.  I’ll use my life as an example.  When I really didn’t have much value to offer people in my business…NOT MUCH was coming in.

I had just gotten into network marketing, I was young, fiery, and thought this line of work would be a piece of cake.  I made almost no money at all for 10 months straight.  I couldn’t get a successful person to join me, or take me serious for the life of me.  And I had no idea why.  MEANWHILE…I hadn’t ‘developed’ the internal and external traits that attract success straight to you.  I was insecure, felt unworthy of my own success, was nervous, afraid of failure…and worst…a part of my own sense of self was dependent on whether or not I was successful in my business.  If someone rejected my business…they rejected ME.  And I got down…

Sound familiar to anyone?

It’s at this point where I could have given up, blamed network marketing, blamed my sponsors or company, or just blamed the world for everyone else being such a sheep who didn’t want to work for themselves.  But that was all crap.  The truth of the matter was…I wasn’t worth joining.  I didn’t have enough value to offer people who were actually successful, so I couldn’t get any successful people to join me.

Fast forward 2 years for me…

I came online in August of 2006.  Last month was a nice $84,000+, with over 600 new distributors joining my business in less than 30 days.  What the hell happened to me you might ask?  One thing and one thing only…I BUILT my value.  I dedicated myself, committed myself, and applied myself to LEARNING the skills and abilities that are INCREDIBLY valuable to have…and all of a sudden people were lining up at the doorstep to learn them too.

Not only that…but I was HONEST and EARNEST with myself.

I didn’t run away from my fears and insecurities, which we all have, I looked at them DEEPER.  I took the time to BE with myself, to learn more about myself, and GROW stronger within myself…so I loved myself more, had more confidence, and now KNOW deeply that I have inherent value to offer people.  And when that switch gets flipped inside you…just watch what starts to happen in your life.  Just watch what will FLOW into your life when you are genuinely giving value out into the world…and giving to people real knowledge that will help them.

So my point of all this today is to get you thinking about the bigger picture.  Stop thinking about, “will I hit my volume requirements this month?”, and start thinking to yourself, “what can I do that will increase the value I have to offer other people?”

That’s the name of the game folks.  If you want people to join you…then you simply need to have more value to offer them.  And by no means should anyone take this information and some how use it as an excuse for why you can’t be successful!

We all come into this world as a pooping, peeing, puking little baby…that has barely enough skills to operate our motor functions.  Yet here we are…surfing the web, living our lives, performing our jobs, taking care of ourselves.  We are LEARNERS.

That is the nature of the human being.  There is no END to how much you can grow.  There is no end to what we can accomplish.  It’s purely awe inspiring and magnificent what each and every one of us is capable of…

That’s my reality.  And that’s why I’m going to make over One Hundred Million before I’m 40.  Just watch.

His PS cracked me up.

P.S. If marketing your business is a skill you think worthwhile
to develop (I’m being sarcastic) then it’s time you learn how
to sponsor THOUSANDS of people on the Internet here:

Without this one key, the foundation crumbles and your successful life never even gets off the ground.  And that’s obviously where people like Jonathan and myself come in:  we have developed the personal belief, the knowledge and the skills to be able to help others.  In fact, we are constantly adding VALUE to OURSELVES.

I could go on forever following this thread of thought, but I will leave it at that for now and invite you to learn and then apply the lessons shared here.  Obviously, you are on my blog, so you know how to get in contact with me if I can help in any way, but I can also put you in touch with Jonathan.
