Watch Mike Maloney’s movie “Why Gold and Silver” and learn about all these:

Currency creation, the Federal Reserve, fractional reserve banking, how central banks steal our wealth, runaway deficits, the second wave of mortgage resets, Mike’s prediction of short term deflation THEN hyperinflation, New Media, Ron Paul, and the Constitution.

and more!

This is probably one of the most important movies you will watch, EVER.

Will you survive the economic winter?

As I walked through the streets of Tokyo tonight, I saw that most of the leaves on the trees on the sidewalks have fallen to the ground. It’s getting a lot colder these days.

Goodbye autumn. Hello winter.

Time sure goes by so fast. It’s been more than two years since the Lehman Shock hit the globe.

Since then, the economy has been crawling. It’s been a slow and painful process. Despite all the stimulus packages the government gives out, people aren’t spending as much.

People from all over are trying to reduce their spending, cutting back on expenses.

The same thing goes for businesses. They are not expanding.
They have been trying to run as efficient as possible with smaller workforces. Unemployment is up.

A lot of people have lost their jobs. A lot of people have lost their homes. Others have lost even more.

And here’s Tony Robbins. He’s a man who has been coaching some of the top financial people in the world for almost 2 decades.

If you were that close to such a group of people, obviously you would have picked up a thing or two about business and finance stuff.

So here he is, giving us a word of warning about what lies ahead. Just when you thought the economy was getting back on it’s feet.

If you think that the worst is over, and we’re in for some good times ahead, then think again. Now, I didn’t say that to make you feel bad.

I said it because I want you to be informed, so that you can prepare and protect yourself and your loved ones from what could be a harsh winter ahead.

Here’s part 2:

The one thing you can take away from this is that, with every great adversity comes great OPPORTUNITY. It’s not all gloom and doom.
Yes, you can prosper in a down economy.

So here’s 7 steps you can take to help you thrive, and not just survive, through this economic winter:

1. Decide NOW to Get smart
Know the overall trend so you know how to react. I totally agree with Tony on this point. You gotta know the rules of the game so you can play to win. Get smart now!

2. Start to educate yourself
I cannot stress this enough. Education is key to successfully navigating through this crisis. Learn and understand how to take advantage of the current situation.

3. Find your role model
The best way to learn is to find a role model. Find a mentor. Seek out successful people. Learn from them.

4. Get a strategy going
Figure out where the money is, how to get in the game. But most importantly, think about your exit strategy.

5. Make a plan and get it in action
Once you figure out your strategy, plan out what actions you will do to execute that strategy. Most important part: TAKE ACTION!

6. Measure it
There has to be a way for you to know that you are on track. You have to measure your progress against your plan and make adjustments along the way.

7. Add more value to people
I believe in karma. The more you give away, the more will come back to you. The more value you give to others, the more success will come your way.

There you have it. I hope it helps. Stay tuned for the next post!

How do you perceive your world?

I noticed how more and more movies are coming out in digital 3D these days.  Watching them in 3D makes me feel like I’m “inside” the  the movie. The images just pop out of the screen and it just seems so real. That’s an amazing thing about how we see things.

People look at things from their own perspective.

In almost any aspect of life, how we perceive things defines our reality. There’s always more than one way of looking at any experience. How do you perceive your experiences?

Do you find opportunity in every difficulty? Or do you find difficulty in every opportunity?

Focus on Finding Solutions

Often times, we dwell too much on our mistakes. That invites a lot of self-doubt and it’s going to affect you emotionally in a negative way. It’s like watching a 3D movie without the 3D glasses. All you can see are blurry images. That can be quite a frustrating experience. My point is that there are different and better ways to see things.

Instead of whining about the blurry movie, try wearing those 3D glasses! Instead of focusing on mistakes, focus on finding solutions and how you can do better next time. Change your perspective!

Recognize that there is No Easy Path

Everybody encounters problems in life. Especially in business. Trust me, there will be a lot of unforeseen obstacles that you will bump into. It is important to recognize that there is no easy path to success. We are always going to encounter obstacles. But it’s how we confront those obstacles that makes the difference between failure and success. It’s important to look at them from the right perspective.

Perception is Reality

You create your own reality. If you perceive that you have all these opportunities in front of you, that you are growing to be a huge success, then that’s what your reality is going to be.  On the other hand, if you merely focus on all your mistakes, and setbacks, all you get is a feeling of anxiety and frustration.

How do you perceive your world?

When faced with a setback, how do you respond? What have you learned from those setbacks? How will you respond to your next challenge? How do you perceive your reality now?

I hope you are perceiving a great quality of life. Great health. A booming business. Onward and upward!

Yes, I admit that I’ve had my share of crappy moments in my life. I didn’t realize it then, but I was actually attracting all that crap! Unbelievable! But then I found out about a way to turn things around…

There used to be a time when nothing seemed to go my way. Everything I did didn’t seem to work.

Then a good friend of mine introduced me to a great book about how to master the inner game of wealth. It’s called Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, by T.Harv Eker.  And I’d like to share some valuable things I’ve learned.

I read about a lot of wealth principles, and the first one I learned was this:

“Rich people believe “I create my life.”
Poor people believe “Life happens to me.”"

If you want to attract wealth into your life, you have to believe that you are in control. Think of it this way. If your life were a car, you are the one holding the steering wheel. If it were a boat, then YOU are the Captain of your Ship.

This reminds me of a poem by William Ernest Henley: Invictus

“It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.”

If you don’t believe this, then I guess you think that your life is not in your hands, and of course that includes your financial life as well.

Playing the role of “Victim”
People who believe they are not in control often play the role of victims. So how do you know if you’re “playing victim?” There are signs…

The Blame Game: “It wasn’t me!”
Victims blame either something or someone else. They blame the traffic, the weather, the government, the bad economy, the market crash, the recession… They blame the boss, the manager, the co-worker, the subordinate… the neighbor, friend, parents… And the list goes on and on!

Justify This: Rationalize til you drop
Financially-challenged people often rationalize their situation by something like “Money is not really important”
If that’s the kind of relationship you have with money, do you think money will stay with you?

If you said this to the one you love, “You’re not really important,” would they stay with you for long? Well, guess again. It’s the same thing with money. You may think that “love makes the world go ’round” but you still need to pay the bills/rent, buy food and clothing, etc etc.

Sidenote: OK, I suddenly remembered a song that goes: “When we’re hungry, love will keep us alive” Guess what kind of mentality that sends out? Anyway, moving on…

Complaining: Bad for your health and wealth!
According to the Laws of Attraction, “like attracts like“.  What we focus on, expands. If we keep on thinking about the bad things, the more we complain about what’s wrong in our lives, we are actually attracting more crap. Imagine turning into a living, breathing crap magnet! When the sh*t hits the fan, you have to steer clear from people who complain a lot. Because when that crap lands, some of it is gonna hit those nearby.

Holy cr@p! I did a lot of blaming and complaining in the past. The people closest to me were not happy about it at all. My colleagues thought I was irresponsible. My boss thought I was a real pain. My friend once told me that I “exude too much negativity.”  So I said to myself: Stop! Wait a second. This isn’t me. This isn’t what I want. I’ve gotta turn things around!

After learning about this wealth principle, I have struggled day in an day out to do the following:

• avoid blaming by take responsibility for my actions
• always keep myself accountable for my life
• keep complaints out of my mind and out of my life
• protect my mindset from people who play the role of victim

Because I strongly believe that the mind is very powerful. I believe that this works. And I believe that I can do it.

Take Control
I create everything in my life, and everything that’s not in it. I create my wealth, non-wealth and everything else in between. I choose to be rich and not to be a victim. And I invite you to take control. Grab the wheel and steer your life towards wealth and happiness.

So which do you choose?  I’d like to know about your thoughts and insights. Please do take time to leave some comments. I would like to hear from you soon!
