Finally - Someone Who Agrees With Me - It's Better To Give Than To Receive

0 comments
Hello everyone,

As 2008 comes to a close, it's no secret that this year has been a very challenging one to say the least. It's been hard to publish a blog about being positive when all around us negative stories and events are happening every day. And, I'll be the first to admit that things haven't looked this bad in a long, long time. But, that's one of the reasons why we all need to change our attitude.

We can't just give in and say, "Well, things are bad, so it's alright to feel bad. It's okay to feel depressed. I mean, look at the stock market. My savings are almost gone. Life sucks!" I'm sorry to be so blunt today, but the truth is we all need a good swift kick in the butt. It's time we started affecting the world and stopped letting the world affect us. If everyone in America started thinking this way, I truly believe we would see a swift turnaround very soon.

To this effect, I came across a book over the holidays that I would encourage everyone to read. It's called Kickback by Robert Urbanowski and it's about what it takes to achieve success, happiness and real fulfillment in your life, and it's just what this country needs right now. Here's what this book can do for you:

1. It will reveal the myths and flawed ideas that the media promotes about how to obtain success, happiness and fulfillment.
2. It will reveal the truth about how to achieve and be happy in life, and at work, or in business.

This is not a theory. It's a proven truth - a Law.

During the five years that Robert Urbanowski was writing this book, he was "experimenting" with this Law. Like a new user of Windows Vista, he wasn't sure exactly how it worked, so he spent a LOT of time working out the bugs.

"I applied this principle with one of my corporate clients at the time. Over that five-year period, the company's revenue grew by more than 2000," says Robert Urbanowski.

Robert found this Law produced a very favorable Kickback in his own personal life too.

"My income grew many times over, and I went from a salesman to owner of my own business. Now, I help other business owners and executives grow their businesses. I love it. It's my dream job (OK, my first choice would have been a fighter pilot - but this is a happy second option)."

The book, Kickback, is about more than a means to an end. It is about a fresh new outlook on life that reveals the truth behind all true success and happiness.

An experienced executive, who read an advanced copy of this book put it this way: "I think this is a fresh and hugely worthwhile offering to a new and total-life perspective. Clearly, I thought this was another B.S. do-all, flimflam book, but -- from all I've seen thus far -- it is neither."

To get an idea of what the book is about, you can download Chapter 1 for free by visiting the Law of Contribution website here. After reading this chapter, I think you'll want to get the book. And, as a special incentive, if you order the book today, you can download the audio version of the book for free right away.

Let's all make 2009 our best year ever. Let's stop thinking about ourselves so much and start thinking about others. I guarantee you your life will improve, and you'll definitely start enjoying life more.

Good luck and make it a great day!

Want To Be Successful? Make Your Momma Proud!

0 comments
For those of you who are golf fans or used to watch the Masters golf tournament years ago, then you recognize the name Ken Venturi. Mr. Venturi was CBS' lead golf analyst for years, and he was a very successful golfer himself, winning the US Open, and almost winning the Masters as an amateur.

I was reading an article about him this morning in GolfWeek magazine, and one statement he made really made an impression on me. He said that the key to his success is always making sure that whatever he does would make his mother and father proud. As I thought about it, it made even more sense. If you're doing something that you know your mother and father would not approve of, then no matter how much success you have, something will always be missing.

Obviously, this is just another way of saying, you need to do the right thing, but it's a very creative and powerful way to live your life. And, hey, there's nothing better than knowing that you've made your mom or dad proud, right?

Good luck and make it a great day!

The Law of the Garbage Truck

0 comments
Here's an email I received the other day. It didn't have an author, but it definitely passes on a valuable lesson:

-------

How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, curt boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day?

However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly he/she can get back her focus on what’s important. Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a New York City taxi cab.

Here’s what happened. …… I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station. We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car’s back end by just inches! The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around and he started yelling bad words at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was friendly.

So, I said, "Why did you just do that?" This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!? And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck."

Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don’t take it personally. You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You’ll be happy you did.

So this was it: The Law of the Garbage Truck. I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people: At work, at home, on the streets? It was that day I said, "I’m not going to do it anymore."

Well, now when I see Garbage Trucks, and I see the load they’re carrying. I see them coming to drop it off. And like my Taxi Driver, I don’t make it a personal thing; I just smile, wave, wish them well, and I move on.

Make it a great day!

Here is a great quote from Peyton Conway March:

"There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else."
