MOVING FORWARD and GETTING METHODICALLY BETTER IN WHAT I GOT POTENTIAL IN AND STILL CAN IMPROVE!

PAST: This is what got lost and people are trying to rob from another to become wealthy and making economical systems collapse as they have been doing the last decades.

FUTURE: The right questions can always be asked to the right person, to get the right and valuable answers.

GETTING MORE OUT OF RESPECT, by SHARING ADDED VALUE!

If someone ask me today, how life is doing, than I got the answers right:

“Fine man, learning each day to become a better teacher…..to do it more efficient……and not adding up to the fear arresting and blocking people these days.”

UNDERSTANDING THE STRUGGLE OF HUMAN KIND!

Yes people are intentionally blocking understanding (sharing of reason, meaning in life) and arresting the case of others (arguments) for moving forward in life.

It is getting more about the physical and utter looks than about respect for the inner values, which is the basis for understanding.

IMPROVEMENT IN MY LIFE!

Yes I know it is going better, since I reached out to get to understand understand better which are the bases (studying spiritual things and upgrading know-how about methods and technology) for better production and sharing better values (codes of conducts for screening purposes) when choosing partners in business.

I LET GO OF THOSE NOT MOVING FORWARD!

People not moving forward are not eager to grow, but want others to feel as sick, frustrated en disturbed as they do.

You can try to explain this to them, but it will not result in any understanding and respect for your right not to get entangled in this downward spiral (history of failure, and addictions to drugs, alcohol, gossip and sex) they are in.

While thinking this trough I realize that my intuition is working better in business and private life now, because I seem to be getting better in the stream of innovation (business) and higher spiritual (moral) standards).

And where there is innovation, there is more understanding about the standards and setting norms of consulting and advising.

Getting hold of this, I feel free and redeemed from a lot which only were causing contradictions and emotional disturbance, causing lack of energy and time to invest in.

So if you see me making choices, it’s all about the basis for respect and information is needed.

The right questions can always be asked to the right person, to get the right and valuable answers.

This what we promote with Bannersbrokers (www.bannersbroker.com/senad) as MOST RESPECTFUL FORMULA FOR ONLINE MARKETING and CREATING ADDED VALUE while SHARING PROFITS:

No real success possible without this understanding and factual innovation!

Don’t ever more let your mind go blank on this!

T Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar

Are You Hardwired For Success?

Have you ever wondered how millionaires make their fortune, and how some people seem destined for wealth and success while others never quite manage to achieve their financial dreams?

Winning the Money Game

Each of us has a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious mind. And it is this blueprint that will determine your financial life. Unfortunately, your current money blueprint will stay with you forever unless you identify it and change it.

Most people go through life lacking the skills required to help them win the money game, and as adults are never quite able to achieve success financially. In general people are lacking the financial education, the knowledge and the skills to build wealth… especially in a “slow” economy.

In order to change this you need to get re-educated. You need to reinvent yourself for success in the current economy.

This is where the Millionaire Mind Seminar comes in. T. Harv Eker, best-selling author of the book ‘Secrets of the Millionaire Mind‘ teaches you how to re-program your money mindset and unlocking the secrets to wealth, as you learn the secrets and habits of rich people.

Here’s just a part of what you’ll learn:

The big mistake 98% of people make and the reason they never create wealth.
Exactly what your current money blueprint is set for (poor, mediocre or rich).
How to alleviate your current blueprint and how to reset it for “automatic” success.
How rich people think differently from broke people and what to model from them.
How to “rule” money and not let it rule you.
Why it is important to become rich in today’s economy.
How to thrive in today’s economy.
How to identify your true “purpose” for wealth.
The secret of money and relationships; how to never argue about finances again.
How to identify your money “personality” and work with your “natural” self to succeed.
What’s your “number”… the exact amount you’ll need for you to become financially free.
The simplest, easiest, most effective money management method on earth.
How to achieve success with balance (perfect for workaholics).
Passive income vehicles that are perfect for today’s economy and will be even better for tomorrow.
To create an action plan that will get you started and keep you on the fast track to wealth.
To think, feel and act differently about money, wealth, and most importantly… yourself!
The “new” way of doing business that is best suited for today’s economy.

NOTE: The Millionaire Mind Intensive is a financial education seminar of creating a wealth mindset, it is not a money making seminar or a get rich quick scheme. It educates oneself on how a millionaire thinks and acts and does not guarantee that you will become a millionaire. The Millionaire Mind Intensive is aimed for professionals, managers, executives and business owners. It can also be aimed at anyone who is seeking to improve their personal and money knowledge.

The World’s Simplest System for Money Management

The Millionaire Mind Seminar is designed to give you a reliable and effective money management system that actually works. It is designed to show you how to save a fortune but at the same time allowing you to invest and grow your money right away, whatever your current financial situation may be.

T. Harv Eker also shares his in depth knowledge and tips to teach you the missing link between wanting success and actually achieving it, giving you a good basis to help you repair your attitude towards success and finances.

Over 1 million people have benefited from the Millionaire Mind Seminars by breaking bad or destructive money habits, and putting new habits into play with the secrets of the wealthy and successful!

Intense Breakthrough Learning

The seminar will take you through groundbreaking exercises and workshops to help you understand how the money game works, and how your experiences and early understanding affects your behaviour as an adult. You will learn how your outer world reflects your inner world – helping you to re-think your attitude towards money.

The first 2 days, focuses on your “roots,” your inner game, and you will learn how to reset your money thermostat for a new level of wealth. The 3rd day is a special day called the Financial Freedom Intensive. This day is specifically designed to teach you exactly what to do and how to do it, to become financially free, giving you examples of business- and income vehicles that are suitable in today’s economy.

You Have a Personal Money and Success Blueprint

One of the biggest aspects of the Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar is the Secret Psychology of Wealth – the key to identifying your personal money and success blueprint.

How does this work exactly? It’s simple – each of us has a ‘blueprint’ when it comes to our attitude and approach to money. Our blueprints are learned in childhood in 3 major ways: Verbal Conditioning – what we heard; Modeling – what we saw; and Specific Incidents – what we experienced. These patterns go on to shape our financial futures, whether we become rich or not.

With that said…

Your Financial Blueprint Can Be Changed!

The good news is that we don’t have to keep this blueprint – with the right mindset and skills, we can change the way we see money and achieve success, even if we were programmed otherwise.

One of the main objectives of the Millionaire
Mind Intensive is to show you:

How to recognize your “money personality” and learn to build on your strengths and overcome your weaknesses.
How rich people think and how to adopt their ingrained blueprint for abundance
How to break through obstacles, fear, beliefs and habits.
How to alleviate and change the negativity you have around wealth and money.
Why it is your duty to be rich and how resenting other rich people can never make you rich.

“Your income can only grow to the extent that you do!”
T. Harv Eker

You’ll receive free tools and resources at the seminar consisting of the following:

90 Day Wealth Conditioning Workbook:
This book gives you the opportunity to keep up with what you’ve learned at the seminar and will help you stay focused and determined through exercises for a full three months after the seminar has taken place.

Attitudes of Wealth Worksheets:
Full A4 pages filled with wealth declarations designed to be posted on a wall of your home or office to remind you of the wealth declarations taught at the seminar.

Belief Questionnaire:
This belief questionnaire will be the touchstone for the work you will do at the seminar. By establishing a snapshot at the beginning of the event of your financial belief “files”, you can refer back to this later and see how many of those limiting beliefs affected your real world financial results. Print this out and reflect on it occasionally to determine where you still harbor unsupportive beliefs.

Financial Freedom Account Chart:
A chart that keeps a graphic monthly record of your growing Financial Freedom bank account. Where attention goes, energy flows and results show!

Money Association Worksheet:
This worksheet can be used as a great refresher to help remind you of your past conditioning around money and what you thought of it.

Networth Tracking Sheet:
Similar to the Financial Freedom Tracking Chart above, it is an important success habit to revisit your entire net worth at regular intervals which this sheet helps you with.

VAKS Exercisers (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic and Spirit):
Exercises to take home with you that integrates the left brain and the right brain; your logical side with your creative side. It is the most effective way to change beliefs and drives the conditioning process to the deep subconscious mind.

Change Your Settings

If you are tired of swimming along without ever getting anywhere and you’re not able to break through financially then you need to ask yourself about your current financial settings. We all have them, whether we are spenders or savers, investors or wasters. How do you fit in, and what are your money settings like?

Knowing the answer to this is the key to start changing your inner financial settings. Think of it like room temperature – if the temperature is 72 degrees, then it makes sense to assume that this is because the thermostat is set at this temperature. In the same tone, if you are achieving average results, then most likely your financial thermostat is set to average.

The Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar will help you identify your own money settings so that you can swap them for for better, more effective money patterns and habits – using tried and tested skills and techniques.

Are You Attracting or Repelling Success

At the Millionaire Mind Seminar you will learn how to attract wealth rather than repel wealth, helping you start improving your finances like it’s second nature. It’s about making success seem something that comes naturally and automatically, as a way of life, rather than something to aspire to without ever achieving.

The main objective of the Millionaire Mind Intensive is for you to come out of the seminar with a brand new attitude towards wealth and achievement, a millionaire’s mindset! You will find that the same principles you learn to enhance your financial life will also help create inner peace and contentment in other areas of your life. Simply put, the Millionaire Mind Intensive aims to teach you to be wealthy in every sense!

Grateful: 101 Things to be Grateful For

Do you want to live a rich, meaningful and abundant life?

The key is to have a grateful heart. It sounds so simple, I know. Masters and Teachers all across time and space have taught us this powerful truth. And yet, it becomes challenging when we have to deal with the problems and burdens that come our way —bills, debts, annoying and seemingly cruel people, illness, death and so on.

And yet when we truly begin to be grateful, it can change our lives dramatically.

You don’t have to believe me.

Just try it. And you’ll see how it can transform your life.

THE BEAUTY OF YOU

1. YOU ARE ALIVE. Life is a gift. Mornings are gifts. Every time you wake up, stretch out those arms and say, “thank you for the gift of a brand new day!”

2. YOU CAN SEE. Oh to have the gift of sight! What a blessing! With your eyes, you can watch the magnificent world you live in. You can see your face in the mirror. You are able to enjoy the beauty of a leaf, a flower, a snowflake, a child, a star, a rainbow and the look of love.

3. YOU CAN HEAR. The thousands of fibers found in your ears could pick up the whisper of the leaves in the trees, the waves of the ocean, the raindrops falling on the roof, the loud thunder, the laughter of children, the ringing of the phone, and hear the words “I love you.”

4. YOU CAN SPEAK. You can utter words that can encourage, inspire, teach, guide, comfort, uplift, motivate and say the words “Thank you”; “I am here for you”; and “I love you.”

5. YOU CAN MOVE. You are joy in motion. You have the ability to dance, walk, run, hop and skip as you travel the road of life.

6. YOU CAN EAT. You can enjoy different food…the sweetness of ice cream and cakes, the crunchy veggies, mouthwatering seafood, the tender juicy chicken, pork or beef. Aren’t we thankful that that the healthy food we eat gives us energy and helps us to grow?

7. YOU CAN DRINK. And be merry? (Grin) You can drink and allow water and fresh juices to quench your thirst. You can drink a toast to celebrate a wedding, a romantic evening, or warm your body on cold winter nights.

8. YOU CAN SMELL. Your sense of smell can enhance the taste of food. It can connect you to wonderful memories like remembering your baby cradled in your arms, the perfume of your beloved, or their sweet smelling hair.

9. YOU CAN TOUCH. Your hands can caress and soothe a loved one. You can touch and feel the different textures- soft, rough and silky smooth. With your touch you can express your love without words.

10. YOU CAN READ. When you look at the words and letters, they are not jumbled or inverted. Having the ability to read has open your doors to knowledge and wisdom found in books, magazines, newspapers and the internet.

11. YOU CAN SING. Whether it be extraordinary talent or simply singing in the shower, you can sing. You can sing your favorite song. You can hum a tune. Or even a lullaby. You can sing as you cook or clean the house.

12.YOU CAN WRITE. You can write and share your experiences. You can write love letters, thank you notes, and compose songs and poetry. Or write a check list of the things you need to buy in the grocery.

13. YOU CAN THINK. You have the ability to think, to plan and to analyze. When problems arise, you can come up with solutions to solve them.

14. YOU CAN FEEL. You have the ability to feel and experience all sorts of emotions - happy, sad, angry, confused, surprised, and disappointed and so on. Your feelings add spice to your life.

15. YOU CAN SLEEP. You can rest when you are tired and exhausted. Your body has been given the gift of sleep so it could recuperate and re-energize itself.

Instead of focusing on what your life is missing, be grateful for what you DO have and do the Gratitude Dance!

OUR AMAZING BODY

I grew to appreciate our bodies and how wonderfully it has been designed when I studied human anatomy as a dental student. A particularly strict yet very interesting teacher explained our immune system so well that up to today, I still remember her story. And I continue to be grateful for my body! Shouldn’t you start being grateful for yours as well?

16. YOUR SKIN covers you from your head to your toes and keeps away germs that might make you sick. Steels may eventually rust but not your skin.

17. YOUR MUSCLES help you move. Hundreds of them, both big and small, help your run, walk, swim, do your laundry, share a smile.

18. YOUR BONES like your ribs protect your heart and lungs from getting damaged. Your skeleton is hard and strong and yet quite light. Imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have bones? You would be like a bag of jelly!

19. YOUR LUNGS filter life-giving oxygen. Your lungs labor every second of every day as they help your body rid of gaseous wastes.

20. YOUR KIDNEYS are bean-shaped organs, each about the size of your fist, are sophisticated reprocessing machines. Every day, it filters your blood; and the waste and extra water is excreted when you urinate.

21. YOUR STOMACH is an organ of digestion. Once food is inside the tummy, gastric juices come out to break down the food.

22. YOUR INTESTINES help you remove wastes from your body.

23. YOUR LIVER is the largest glandular organ of the body. Some of its functions are: It produces substances that break down fats, filter harmful stuff from your blood like alcohol, stores some of the vitamins and minerals.

24. YOUR OVARIES produce hormones which give the female its body characteristics like breasts, body shape and hair. It also regulates menstrual cycle and pregnancy.

25. YOUR PROSTATE GLAND is part of a man’s reproductive system, helping to regulate bladder control and normal sexual functioning. The prostate gland stores and produce seminal fluid, which nourishes the sperm.

26. YOUR THYROID produces thyroid hormones that control your body’s metabolism. It has influence over your body’s organs, tissues and cells. These hormones also control heart rate, body temperature and weight, energy level, muscle strength and even menstrual regularity.

27. YOUR HEART is responsible for supplying oxygenated blood to your body. Your heart pumps nearly five quarts of blood through your body every sixty seconds. Imagine that!

28. YOUR BRAIN is the control center of your body. It is there to help you store away every perception, sound, taste, smell, every action you have done since birth, sleep, hunger, thirst and all the other activities you need to do in order to survive.

29. YOUR BLOOD carries the necessary oxygen and nutrients to your different organs. Without it, we can’t fight infection, get rid of our body’s waste products, or keep warm or cool. If we lack blood, we would surely weaken and die.

30. YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM is the body’s defense against viruses, bacteria and other invaders that may be harmful to you. You have cells that chew up invading organisms while other cells have built in memory on them so that your body recognizes and remembers previous invaders and help the body destroy them.

There are still a LOT of things that can be said about our amazing body. It would take a book to list all of them. But for now, just pause for awhile and be grateful for what each cell, nerve, tissue, organ in your body is doing for you. It is working twenty fours a day (without breaks) and even if you are not commanding it to. How truly marvelous are our bodies!

Relationships are Blessings

When you begin to see that each person is brought into your life for a purpose and reason, you begin to appreciate them and view them in an entirely different way.

Silently, say thank you for the person, and watch how they seem to change right before your eyes.

And then…something marvelous happens, all around you, you will see “angels.”

Ways of the Warrior

I am a warrior…

I create every moment of my life.
My choices create my reality.
My response creates my outcome.
There is no “can’t.” I choose to or choose not to.
There is no “try”, I do or do not do.
I am true to my own heart.
I speak my truth… with compassion.
I keep my commitments.
My word is law.
I approve of myself, now.
I don’t have to please everybody.
I don’t take anything personally.
I understand that how others judge me is about them.
I look ‘em in the eye, I tell ‘em who I am, and if they don’t like it, fuck ‘em! (Stuart Wilde)
