The Contest! THE DETAILS!

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone out there enjoyed their long weekend (in Canada) or are anxiously awaiting the long weekend ahead (in the US).

I am sending this message out to day to everyone on my friend list and in the groups that I manage.

As some of you know, I am putting together a bunch of stories for a new book that I am writing. I would like to encourage everyone to get their “Rags to almost Riches” stories to me, as soon as possible. We are hoping to have a good idea of what stories we are going to include by the end of this month. I am very excited and passionate about this project and look forward to sending you updates as we progress.

The real reason behind today’s message is to announce a little contest that I will be running over the next 8 days. The premise of this contest is to test the power of that one can leverage with the aid of social networking and is only open to those who are on my Facebook friend list.

This is how it works:

For everyone who responds to this message with a simple message that says, “Give me my $$$, Scott!” and your email address so we can notify you when you win, they will receive a single entry into the contest, which the winner will receive $500 USD cash! Not bad hey? Could you use an extra $500 for sending a single message?

Well….If you could increase your odds exponentially by sending just one more message, would you do it?

Let me tell you how…

If you copy and paste this message into a second message, then send it out to everyone on your Facebook friend list, and they decide to add me to their friend list (as I mentioned before, this contest is only open to people who are in my friend list) then turnaround and paste your message into another message, add the words "Give me my $$$, Scott" and send it to me, they will be entered and you will receive an additional entry into the contest. So, if you have 20 friends who send me a return message, that will give you 21 entries into the contest. Make Sense?


**IMPORTANT** they need to paste the original message in so that I know it was YOU that referred them, including the name and date imprint on the top left of the message.

Yup, just like that you could have hundreds of entries into this contest with nothing more than 5 minutes of time spent on Facebook. You’re here anyways, so why not give yourself a shot at winning $500?

So, to summarize:

1. Reply to this message “Give me my $$$, Scott!” (include your email address we can contact you at after winning)

2. Copy this message and send out to everyone in your friend list

3. Have your friends add me to their friend list

4. Have them send me the same message, copied from your original message so I know you referred them which will include the name and date imprint.

5. Have your friends repeat the same process.

FHTM - Business Presentation

This thing is really going now... GET IN NOW!

So where are we at? Let me tell you...

www.mydetoxsoulutions.com is about 3 weeks away from being launched. We have almost everything in place. We have our fulfillment service agreement in place. We have our campaign management in place an starting May 1, 2009. I have training calls for both booked for next week so hopefully I will be able to share a little more information on both afterwards.

FHTM - After seeing Bob Proctor live because I was an FHTM representative, there has been a fire reignited within me. I am really looking forward to working harder and harder on FHTM. The best part about it, is that it's a system already in place and all you have to do is what they suggest you do. It really is not that difficult at all. I was just allowing myself to get wrapped up in everything else but now, I am ready to rock it!

The campaign management company I am using for detoxsoulutions estimates, right off the start, that they will be driving 500 or more visits to our site per DAY!!! 500!!! That's great right off the bat for detoxsoulutions but what if we apply it to a lead generating site for FHTM? Because of FHTM's business model, we are not bound by borders. Let it roll! So I have contacted a designer about developing a simple but inspirational sales letter site to generate leads.

Now is the time to get in because this thing is going to take on a life of it's own! Ride the wave people!





ERP Nutrition - Logo is finished! Website is coming! First round of samples are here! Message me for your free samples. Still waiting on a container prototype and still need to work on product names for the fat burner and multivitamin. The multivitamin will be the first joint care focused multivitamin. More on ERP to come soon - I hope!

Real Estate - A lot has been going on here. I have made contact with a few more people. I have met a woman in Calgary that focuses on the American market and has been for quite some time. She helps people get vacation and revenue properties and focuses on the Phoenix area. Her and I have discussed an agreement where I would be her point of contact to get into Edmonton and offer her services there.

I am still waiting on the word from the guy in California who is working on my financing. What he's doing is setting me up with $100, 000 line of credit that I will be able to use to purchase some of these bargain properties which will be spitting positive cashflow.

I have also been approached about promoting some other opportunities in the states which I don't fully understand at this point. I will have more on this later as I understand it better!

Still working towards getting the RTO (rent to own) thing going on in Edmonton and I have a friend creating the website for me. I will post more on this as it progresses.

Opportunities seem to be flooding in more and more. I remember a couple years ago, thinking, "Why doesn't anything good ever happen to me?" Well I am now making up for that. I realize now that I wasn't ready for it. Well, I am now!

I have also contacted an individual who has created a very comfortable living purely by posting on EBAY. He started out in 1998 selling products he would find at garage sales. He has now grown into a warehouse where he holds thousands of products he purchases from liquidators and auctions and has created a business that does over $250,000 a year in sales. He has offered to show me his systems he uses and mentor me along, sharing his wisdom and knowledge so that I can duplicate his results in a very short amount of time.

MSI's! Multiple Streams of Income! Like I said from the beginning, 9 streams of income by the end of 2009!

Think and Grow Rich

AUTHOR'S PREFACE

IN EVERY chapter of this book, mention has been made of the money-making secret which has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years.

The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a century ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a boy. Then he sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had said to me.

When he saw that I had grasped the idea, he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty years or more, preparing myself to take it to the world, to men and women who, without the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie's cooperation, I have kept my promise.

This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie's idea that the magic formula, which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test and demonstrate the soundness of the formula through the experience of men and women in every calling. He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and colleges, and expressed the

p. 9

opinion that if it were properly taught it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced to less than half.

His experience with Charles M. Schwab, and other young men of Mr. Schwab's type, convinced Mr. Carnegie that much of that which is taught in the schools is of no value whatsoever in connection with the business of earning a living or accumulating riches. He had arrived at this decision, because he had taken into his business one young man after another, many of them with but little schooling, and by coaching them in the use of this formula, developed in them rare leadership. Moreover, his coaching made fortunes for everyone of them who followed his instructions.

In the chapter on Faith, you will read the astounding story of the organization of the giant United States Steel Corporation, as it was conceived and carried out by one of the young men through whom Mr. Carnegie proved that his formula will work for all who are ready for it. This single application of the secret, by that young man--Charles M. Schwab--made him a huge fortune in both money and OPPORTUNITY. Roughly speaking, this particular application of the formula was worth six hundred million dollars.

These facts--and they are facts well known to almost everyone who knew Mr. Carnegie--give you a fair idea of what the reading of this book may bring to you, provided you KNOW WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT.

Even before it had undergone twenty years of

p. 10

practical testing, the secret was passed on to more than one hundred thousand men and women who have used it for their personal benefit, as Mr. Carnegie planned that they should. Some have made fortunes with it. Others have used it successfully in creating harmony in their homes. A clergyman used it so effectively that it brought him an income of upwards of $75,000.00 a year.

Arthur Nash, a Cincinnati tailor, used his near-bankrupt business as a "guinea pig" on which to test the formula. The business came to life and made a fortune for its owners. It is still thriving, although Mr. Nash has gone. The experiment was so unique that newspapers and magazines, gave it more than a million dollars' worth of laudatory publicity.

The secret was passed on to Stuart Austin Wier, of Dallas, Texas. He was ready for it--so ready that he gave up his profession and studied law. Did he succeed? That story is told too.

I gave the secret to Jennings Randolph, the day he graduated from College, and he has used it so successfully that he is now serving his third term as a Member of Congress, with an excellent opportunity to keep on using it until it carries him to the White House.

While serving as Advertising Manager of the LaSalle Extension University, when it was little more than a name, I had the privilege of seeing J. G. Chapline, President of the University, use the formula so effectively that he has since made the LaSalle one of the great extension schools of the country.

p. 11

The secret to which I refer has been mentioned no fewer than a hundred times, throughout this book. It has not been directly named, for it seems to work more successfully when it is merely uncovered and left in sight, where THOSE WHO ARE READY, and SEARCHING FOR IT, may pick it up. That is why Mr. Carnegie tossed it to me so quietly, without giving me its specific name.

If you are READY to put it to use, you will recognize this secret at least once in every chapter. I wish I might feel privileged to tell you how you will know if you are ready, but that would deprive you of much of the benefit you will receive when you make the discovery in your own way.

While this book was being written, my own son, who was then finishing the last year of his college work, picked up the manuscript of chapter two, read it, and discovered the secret for himself. He used the information so effectively that he went directly into a responsible position at a beginning salary greater than the average man ever earns. His story has been briefly described in chapter two. When you read it, perhaps you will dismiss any feeling you may have had, at the beginning of the book, that it promised too much. And, too, if you have ever been discouraged, if you have had difficulties to surmount which took the very soul out of you, if you have tried and failed, if you were ever handicapped by illness or physical affliction, this story of my son's discovery and use of the Carnegie formula may prove to be the oasis in the Desert of Lost Hope, for which you have been searching.

This secret was extensively used by President

p. 12

[paragraph continues] Woodrow Wilson, during the World War. It was passed on to every soldier who fought in the war, carefully wrapped in the training received before going to the front. President Wilson told me it was a strong factor in raising the funds needed for the war.

More than twenty years ago, Hon. Manuel L. Quezon (then Resident Commissioner of the Philippine Islands), was inspired by the secret to gain freedom for his people. He has gained freedom for the Philippines, and is the first President of the free state.

A peculiar thing about this secret is that those who once acquire it and use it, find themselves literally swept on to success, with but little effort, and they never again submit to failure! If you doubt this, study the names of those who have used it, wherever they have been mentioned, check their records for yourself, and be convinced.

There is no such thing as SOMETHING FOR NOTHING!

The secret to which I refer cannot be had without a price, although the price is far less than its value. It cannot be had at any price by those who are not intentionally searching for it. It cannot be given away, it cannot be purchased for money, for the reason that it comes in two parts. One part is already in possession of those who are ready for it.

The secret serves equally well, all who are ready for it. Education has nothing to do with it. Long before I was born, the secret had found its way into the possession of Thomas A. Edison, and he used it so intelligently that he became the world's leading

p. 13

inventor, although he had but three months of schooling.

The secret was passed on to a business associate of Mr. Edison. He used it so effectively that, although he was then making only $12,000 a year, he accumulated a great fortune, and retired from active business while still a young man. You will find his story at the beginning of the first chapter. It should convince you that riches are not beyond your reach, that you can still be what you wish to be, that money, fame, recognition and happiness can be had by all who are ready and determined to have these blessings.

How do I know these things? You should have the answer before you finish this book. You may find it in the very first chapter, or on the last page.

While I was performing the twenty year task of research, which I had undertaken at Mr. Carnegie's request, I analyzed hundreds of well known men, many of whom admitted that they had accumulated their vast fortunes through the aid of the Carnegie secret; among these men were:--

HENRY FORD WILLIAM WRIGLEY JR. JOHN WANAMAKER JAMES J. HILL GEORGE S. PARKER E. M. STATLER HENRY L. DOHERTY CYRUS H. K. CURTIS GEORGE EASTMAN

THEODORE ROOSEVELT JOHN W. DAVIS ELBERT HUBBARD WILBUR WRIGHT WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN DR. DAVID STARR JORDAN J. ODGEN ARMOUR

p. 14

CHARLES M. SCHWAB HARRIS F. WILLIAMS DR. FRANK GUNSAULUS DANIEL WILLARD KING GILLETTE RALPH A. WEEKS JUDGE DANIEL T. WRIGHT JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER THOMAS A. EDISON FRANK A. VANDERLIP F. W. WOOLWORTH COL. ROBERT A. DOLLAR EDWARD A. FILENE EDWIN C. BARNES	ARTHUR BRISBANE WOODROW WILSON WM. HOWARD TAFT LUTHER BURBANK EDWARD W. BOK FRANK A. MUNSEY ELBERT H. GARY DR. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL JOHN H. PATTERSON JULIUS ROSENWALD STUART AUSTIN WIER DR. FRANK CRANE GEORGE M. ALEXANDER J. G. CHAPLINE HON. JENNINGS RANDOLPH ARTHUR NASH
CLARENCE DARROW

These names represent but a small fraction of the hundreds of well known Americans whose achievements, financially and otherwise, prove that those who understand and apply the Carnegie secret, reach high stations in life. I have never known anyone who was inspired to use the secret, who did not achieve noteworthy success in his chosen calling. I have never known any person to distinguish himself, or to accumulate riches of any consequence, without possession of the secret. From these two

p. 15

facts I draw the conclusion that the secret is more important, as a part of the knowledge essential for self-determination, than any which one receives through what is popularly known as "education." What is EDUCATION, anyway? This has been answered in full detail.

As far as schooling is concerned, many of these men had very little. John Wanamaker once told me that what little schooling he had, he acquired in very much the same manner as a modern locomotive takes on water, by "scooping it up as it runs." Henry Ford never reached high school, let alone college. I am not attempting to minimize the value of schooling, but I am trying to express my earnest belief that those who master and apply the secret will reach high stations, accumulate riches, and bargain with life on their own terms, even if their schooling has been meager.

Somewhere, as you read, the secret to which I refer will jump from the page and stand boldly before you, IF YOU ARE READY FOR IT! When it appears, you will recognize it. Whether you receive the sign in the first or the last chapter, stop for a moment when it presents itself, and turn down a glass, for that occasion will mark the most important turning-point of your life.

We pass now, to Chapter One, and to the story of my very dear friend, who has generously acknowledged having seen the mystic sign, and whose business achievements are evidence enough that he turned down a glass. As you read his story, and the others, remember that they deal with the important problems of life, such as all men experience.

p. 16

[paragraph continues] The problems arising from one's endeavor to earn a living, to find hope, courage, contentment and peace of mind; to accumulate riches and to enjoy freedom of body and spirit.

Remember, too, as you go through the book, that it deals with facts and not with fiction, its purpose being to convey a great universal truth through which all who are READY may learn, not only WHAT TO DO, BUT ALSO HOW TO DO IT! and receive, as well, THE NEEDED STIMULUS TO MAKE A START.

As a final word of preparation, before you begin the first chapter, may I offer one brief suggestion which may provide a clue by which the Carnegie secret may be recognized? It is this--ALL ACHIEVEMENT, ALL EARNED RICHES, HAVE THEIR BEGINNING IN AN IDEA! If you are ready for the secret, you already possess one half of it, therefore, you will readily recognize the other half the moment it reaches your mind.

WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST?

Is It Money, Fame, Power, Contentment, Personality, Peace of Mind, Happiness?

The Thirteen Steps to Riches described in this book offer the shortest dependable philosophy of individual achievement ever presented for the benefit of the man or woman who is searching for a definite goal in life.

Before beginning the book you will profit greatly if you recognize the fact that the book was not written to entertain. You cannot digest the contents properly in a week or a month.

After reading the book thoroughly, Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison, nationally known Consulting Engineer and long-time associate of Thomas A. Edison, said--

"This is not a novel. It is a textbook on individual achievement that came directly from the experiences of hundreds of America's most successful men. It should be studied, digested, and meditated upon. No more than one chapter should be read in a single night. The reader should underline the sentences which impress him most. Later, he should go back to these marked lines and read them again. A real student will not merely read this book, he will absorb its contents and make them his own. This book should be adopted by all high schools and no boy or girl should be permitted to graduate without having satisfactorily passed an examination on it. This philosophy will not take the place of the subjects taught in schools, but it will enable one to organize and apply the knowledge acquired, and convert it into useful service and adequate compensation without waste of time."

Dr. John R. Turner, Dean of the College of The City of New York, after having read the book, said--

"The very best example of the soundness of this philosophy is your own son, Blair, whose dramatic story you have outlined in the chapter on Desire."

Dr. Turner had reference to the author's son, who, born without normal hearing capacity, not only avoided becoming a deaf mute, but actually converted his handicap into a priceless asset by applying the philosophy here described. After

p. 2

reading the story (starting on page 52), you will realize that you are about to come into possession of a philosophy which can be transmuted into material wealth, or serve as readily to bring you peace of mind, understanding, spiritual harmony, and in some instances, as in the case of the author's son, it can help you master physical affliction.

The author discovered, through personally analyzing hundreds of successful men, that all of them followed the habit of exchanging ideas, through what is commonly called conferences. When they had problems to be solved they sat down together and talked freely until they discovered, from their joint contribution of ideas, a plan that would serve their purpose.

You, who read this book, will get most out of it by putting into practice the Master Mind principle described in the book. This you can do (as others are doing so successfully) by forming a study club, consisting of any desired number of people who are friendly and harmonious. The club should have a meeting at regular periods, as often as once each week. The procedure should consist of reading one chapter of the book at each meeting, after which the contents of the chapter should be freely discussed by all members. Each member should make notes, putting down ALL IDEAS OF HIS OWN inspired by the discussion. Each member should carefully read and analyze each chapter several days prior to its open reading and joint discussion in the club. The reading at the club should be done by someone who reads well and understands how to put color and feeling into the lines.

By following this plan every reader will get from its pages, not only the sum total of the best knowledge organized from the experiences of hundreds of successful men, but more important by far, he will tap new sources of knowledge in his own mind as well as acquire knowledge of priceless value FROM EVERY OTHER PERSON PRESENT.

If you follow this plan persistently you will be almost certain to uncover and appropriate the secret formula by which Andrew Carnegie acquired his huge fortune, as referred to in the author's introduction.

Final Version of Site

Bob Proctor

On Wednesday, I was able to go and see Bob Proctor speak to FHTM representatives only, at the Fantasyland Hotel. It was absolutely amazing! For a man who is 76 years old, he is so full of energy and so inspirational. I walked away thinking I could take on the world.

Bob's focus is all about successful mindset. Using your thoughts to create the life that you desire. Everything I have written about in the past. He is thought of as, one of the worlds foremost authority on the Law of Attraction.

It was a great day!

I know it's been a while but I'm back from my friends wedding in Mexico.

So, here are the updates:

Website is still being developed. They are actually writing the code. I still haven't decided on a manufacturer which I am hoping to do by the end of the weekend.

ERP Nutrition has a logo!
What do you guys think?

Real Estate, I have been working with a guy in California to set me up with a line of credit to help with funding for the real estate deals. It would help get around the issues with being a canadian trying to enter the American market.

It's looking very good!

Also, I have made contact with a woman in Calgary who does the same thing... She helps people purchase properties in the states as revenue properties or vacation properties. Her focus is on the Phoenix area. She has extended an invitation to work with her and I can focus on the Edmonton market. We'll see what comes of that.

Introducing....

WWW.MYDETOXSOULUTIONS.COM

COMING SOON!

This is just the first mock up of the site. The site will be up and fully operational by April 30, 2009

Fast and Furious today! See below for status updates...

ERP Nutrition: Samples were just shipped yesterday, judging by the tracking number and details on the UPS website. At least I know they're on the way. Drew also assured me that the new formulas will be ready by the time I leave. I suppose we shall see.

Real Estate: It looks like I have found some substantial funding. More on this as the details present themselves and I can determine if it's a good course of action but a trip to Memphis may be in order.

Website: WWW.MYDETOXSOULUTIONS.COM

We have our first stage almost complete, made first payment on the work, picked the fulfillment house, have our campaign management ready to go, and our payment platform chosen as well. All that's left is to finish our part, the content, submit that to Kinkar and then wait for the finish date.... April 30th!

We also have to decide on our supplier which I intend on having that all buttoned up by the time I leave to go to Mexico on Sunday morning.

Healthy ME

Yup... almost puked again! Driving to work I thought I was going to let her buck! It was a tough one and I am absolutely exhausted now! We have moved to 7:00 am start time at work so it's a go go go type of routine in the morning now for me. No rest!

Legs and Triceps today! Nothing new or out of the ordinary really!

The Rest...

Other accomplishments for the day:

I made contact with a private finance guy in the states and he's looking into seeing what kind of financing options he may have to offer to me. We'll see what come of that.

I have also been really hitting up the networking on Facebook. I have added another 40-50 contacts for real estate investing all over the US and Canada over the last week or so. Word to the wise: be careful, facebook does not like you adding random people in an over abundance. I was warned! HAHA

Over the next 6 days I am going to try and message some of these people and see what kind of networking opportunities we can come up with.

I emailed my ERP Nutrition guy the following message:


Drew,

Here's the time line I am looking at. I leave for Mexico on Saturday night. I would like to have the following completed by then.

1. Have the multi-vitamin formula completed and ready for manufacturing

2. Have the official formula for the energy/fat burner pills.

3. Receive the samples which I was promised over 2 weeks ago now.

4. Have label mock ups made.

5. Container prototypes

I looked back and noticed that we started our dialogue 2 months ago now and all we have is a label. I am by no means blaming this all on you but I also see that to make sure I meet certain time lines, I need to see progress, which has been minimal as of late.

I enjoy dealing with you Drew and I think you are very capable of meeting these requests but if for whatever reason you feel they are unreasonable please present a more agreeable time line based on your expectations.

Thank you

Scott


I thought it was a good one. I stroked his ego just enough but I also made sure I sounded like I meant business!

He emailed me back and asked when I return from Mexico... I told him the 30th and I have yet to hear from him. More to come...

Website

For this site to work the way I envision it and the way it has already worked for Daniel, there are 5 elements we need to implement to ensure success.

These are:

Product Supply

Website Design

Campaign Management

Fulfillment Services

Self Confidence/belief

Product supply: This is where we choose our product which we are going to offer. I mentioned before that I found our detox foot pads at www.alibaba.com. You can find absolutely anything there. Anything! I would suggest deciding on a subject that interests you and searching it on alibaba. Email a few distributors and ask them about:

Product Cost

Shipping Cost

Max. Orders

Min. Orders

Shipping Time

Product information or ingredients

Product Pictures

If the product is approved by your target market's governing agencies

There are plenty more questions you may want to ask as well but these are some that I found were vital when researching a product distributor or manufacturer.

Website Design: As I said yesterday, Kinkar is working away on it as you read this. He is in the initial design phase and as we proceed I will update.

Campaign Management: This could be the most important factor in our success with this project. A campaign management service is the driving force behind your presence on the internet. They will aid you in your quest to get the word out about Detox Foot Pads!

I had Kathy from ROI Revolution provide this brief description of what their service provides:

Thank you for your email!

I’d be glad to put our services in laymen’s terms below.

The core of our business is tracking the traffic we’re sending to your site from AdWords with Google Analytics.

Google AdWords is the majority of the online search market and this is where we focus our work at first by building the campaigns composed of many relevant keywords and also negative (terms that you wouldn’t want to show for). We also write the ads that will show up for these keywords making everything relevant to your landing page. We track all of this with Google Analytics which allows us to know which keywords and ad text sells the best and also which are not worthwhile.

Basically we’re getting you as much profitable traffic as possible. We have a lot of experience in qualifying visitors based on what they type in and what ad text shows. Our experience also extends to tracking many different websites to ensure the data is correct

Your team here would include 3 people:

1. Your Relationship & Strategy Manager who directs the progress of your account based on your business goals.

2. Your Google Analytics Consultant who oversees the tracking of all the data for your site.

3. Your AdWords Account Manager who builds out your AdWords campaigns.

There are quite a few details to keep track of in a process like this and especially with all of the changes Google continually makes. As an AdWords Qualified Company we maintain a close relationship with Google so we are prepared for any changes.

Fulfillment Services: I don't know about you, but the idea of boxing up 10's, and soon, 100's of boxes of Detox Foot Pads and shipping them out, really doesn't appeal to me. The whole reason I'm doing this is to create freedom, not more shackles!

Enter Fulfillment House Here!

A fulfillment house will receive your product from the manufacturer, store, pick your orders as they are ordered, box the order and ship it to the customer for you. The become your own complete warehouse!

Once Kinkar has comepleted the design, he will link the shopping cart system to the fine men at AtLast Fulfillment and they will automatically receive the orders, pick and pack the orders, and then ship it to the customer all for a very reasonable cost.

Self Confidence / Belief: As I always talk about, this is where everything both begins and ends. Self belief is the biggest factor in determining success. If you believe that this is going to be too hard or not sure that your product will sell, it won't! If you believe in the people around you and what you are doing and that you ARE going to SUCCEED... YOU WILL!

Give yourself an opportunity to be a winner. Already picture yourself on the podium as the best in your event.

If your event is downhill skiing, picture yourself having the fastest, cleanest run and raising your arms in victory as you cross the finish line.

If your event is the 100m dash, picture yourself as the powerfully graceful champion who tears first through that ribbon!

If your event is online sales / marketing, picture yourself collecting that steady stream of income created by your creativity and working with some amazing people. Picture yourself quitting your job to spend more time with family and friends because you have a money making machine that you have placed on autopilot, doing all the work for you. Take that vacation, buy that car, give to that favorite charity and then offer to show the person standing next to you... how you changed your life!

Healthy ME

Weekly Goals

Here's something new. I always talk about goal setting and mindset so I thought that every Sunday I would share my goals for the week. This will help show my mindset and plans going into each week and it helps me to set my accountability for the week.

This weeks goals are very important. This week is going to be a big week since I'll be gone next week. I need to make things happen.

Weekly goals for the week of March 15-21:

1. Workout every weekday morning and ride the bike every other evening.

2. Complete Daily goal setting to ensure weekly goals success!

3. Complete Phase I in website construction and Begin Phase II.

4. Complete Pre-Mexico Goals for ERP Nutrition.

5. Research 80 properties.

6. Make 5 new real estate investing contacts.

7. Contact RTO company on West Coast and discuss future plans with RTO in Alberta.

8. Talk to 5 new people about FHTM.

9. Get American Money for TRIP TO MEXICO!!!

10. Have fun, Enjoy life, be grateful and inspire!


Tomorrow I will get into more detail on the website and how we are pulling everything together as well as how we are going to completely atomize it so we have to invest the minimum amount of time possible.

Also, later on this week I am going to share some amazing FHTM success stories with you and we are going to discuss simple, time tested strategies on how to beat "worry".

Healthy ME

HEalthy Me is still going really well. I am not having a hard time following certain eating habits or the exercise demands I have placed on myself. I feel good every morning even though it is a little tough to get up on some mornings.

Throughout the day I am not struggling with energy levels ever. It's actually been better.

The thing I love most about working out is the energy and momentum you get from a good workout that stays with you for the rest of the day! After a good, hard workout, you feel like you can accomplish anything and you're ready to take on whatever the day has to offer. Things that used to be difficult, don't seem so hard any longer. That's what I love... the confidence you get from a stronger, faster, healthier body!

Below is the ab workout I have been doing at home in the morning. I do all 5 movements with no rest between movements. I take a 2 minute break and then complete the circuit a second time.
Let me know what you think.

Ok.... OK! I know Donny! IT's been a while... but it has been a very busy week! Let's have a look...

Website:

We decided to go for Detox foot pads! Yeah... that's right.... your opinion apparently means nothing! ;)

We made contact with a website developer from India named Kinkar. Now, obviously I was a little concerned about potential language barrier issues but, I'm happy to report that Kinkar speaks fluent English. We discussed what I was looking for and expectations in terms of timelines and functionality. Below is our timeline:

*Milestone I: (Design Phase) ( 5 Days )*
Scope Review & Finalization
Mockup Finalization
HTML of the Home page.

*Milestone II: (Integration Phase) ( 20 Days )*
Database Design
Front-end Coding ( Payment Gateway & Shipping Gateway
Information Required )
Back-end Coding ( Intelli-Chat & Live Face Information Required )
Administrative Panel integration

*Milestone III: (Testing Phase) ( 4 Days )*
De-bugging ( Hosting Server Information Required )
Project Completion Review
Delivery/Transfer of Website

As of right now we are in the middle of phase I. As we work through the different phases I will post more information. As of right now, in phase I, Kinkar and his team are putting together the basic mockup "look" to the site and then when they are done, we will approve and move ahead.


As you saw earlier in the week, We have a label for our PRIMER Whey Protein. By the end of the week I want to achieve the following goals for ERP Nutrition:

1. Have the multi vitamin formula completed and ready for manufacturing

2. Have the official formula for the energy/fat burner pills.

3. Recieve the samples which I was promised over 2 weeks ago now.

4. Decide on names for the multivitamin and energy pills.

5. Have label mockups made

If any of the 5 goals are not reached by the time I fly out of Edmonton International Airport at 6:00 am on the morning of March 22, 2008, we will be going to our second choice to do our private labelling.

Chew on all that for now...

The Diet has changed a little bit but it looks like this:

Wake up: Protein Shake / Superpump 250 / Multi Vitamin

Post Workout: Protein Shake

12:00: Chicken breast wrap (cheese, salsa, whole wheat tortilla)

I drink at least 8 liters of water every day as well. MINIMUM 8 L!!

SUCCESS!

It was a great day today! First of all... as you can see I finally have made some progress with the supplements. We have a label!! PRIMER Whey Protein! Available Soon! ;)

I also have "skidded" my marketing guy because he was in la la land, not getting anywhere so I contacted a guy by the name of Josh who has worked with my brother in the past. His site can be found at:

www.idreamdigital.com

Some nice stuff he has on there so I am really looking forward to seeing what he can create for ERP Nutrition.

I also have made contact with a gentleman in India, who will be creating our foot pad (i know, yet to be determined) website. I never really realized how much pre planning is involved before a stitch of code is ready to be typed. Functionality? What the heck does that mean? Anyways... the conversation has started and hopefully we can get moving soon. I do already have a supplier and I also contacted a fulfillment house who will be handling all my order picking, shipping and handling. I also contacted the company that will be optimizing and advertising my site for me... All of this on my 30 minute lunch hour! How's that for productivity?!

Last night I also researched a bunch of houses. It seems like more and more amazing deals pop up every day in Memphis. It has huge opportunity for those who can recognize it. I magine spending $25,000- $30,000 and create $700-$850 a month cashflow... EVERY MONTH! For as long as you want to keep it. Not to mention these houses are valued at anywhere between $60,000 and $90,000 giving you up to $60,000 in equity immediately!!

This week coming up is going to be busy!

Goals for this week:

Time line the release of ERP Nutrition product line.

Decide on product for website (leaning towards detox foot pads) and research manufacturers.

Make contact with my web designer (in India)

Keep going with the Healthy Living! (More later)

Develop a game plan for the RTO strategy

Decide on 5 properties to target in Memphis, TN

Mentoring Phone Call

Diane and I got down to more of the nuts and bolts behind finding funding and Joint Venture (JV) partners. She mentioned placing ads in the free listings sites, stating the the numbers that would bring people to you. So basically sticking the carrot out there to lure in the investment capital. So over the next couple of weeks I will post some of the properties I can get under contract and how much money people can expect to make off of these properties. Watch for the first of these properties later today!

She also provided me with some valuable legal documents. A purchase agreement, a non circumvention agreement and a Joint Venture agreement. These will be posted for you to have a look at.

She also gave me the contact information for a gentleman in the states who can set up an American bank account for me without me having to actually go down to the states and sign the paperwork, as I described in an earlier post. NICE! Gotta love that convenience! His name is Guy Vichnel and I am hoping to speak with him by the end of the day today!

We also discussed another strategy to try. She helped a previous student accomplish creating a business based on this strategy. Basically, you create a webpage and on that webpage you say:

"Need to Sell a House This Week? You're in the right place. We buy houses fast!

WE SOLVE PROBLEMS! Our goal is to help people get into properties they want or to help people get out of properties they either don't want or can no longer keep."

OR

"Can I stop foreclosure by selling my house?
If you or someone you know are facing foreclosure or other hardship related to a property, don't wait, call us NOW! We can often STOP foreclosures in 72 hours!"

And then you take those properties and use them on your ads on the free posting sites. Make sure the numbers work out in your favor. We are only looking for motivated sellers otherwise the business does NOT work. If you are going to try and sell the advantages of these properties to potential investors, you need to make sure that it is going to appeal to those investors! Like I said before, CREATE THAT CARROT!

Detox Foot Pads

Detox patches are the rage in Asia with million sold every month. It took Japanese scientists over 24 years to develop the technology. So, it is safe and simple to use. While it appears the majority of users are applying the patches to the bottoms of their feet, many are finding uses on other parts of their bodies as well. Now, you can purchase our amazing product - Detox Foot Patches - in the US. Detox Foot Patches are an all-natural product that amazingly extracts heavy metals and other forms of toxins from your system while you sleep.

Detox Foot Patches are an amazing combination of two powerful components.

Detox Foot Patches contain Brazilian Tourmaline, a crystal silicate mineral compounded containing elements such as aluminum, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, or potassium mineral. Tourmaline is prized as a semi-precious stone and comes in a wide variety of colors. But, while the semi-precious gem status increases the gemological value, it is the mineral aspects that are of interest to us and has become the focus of research at universities and research centers worldwide.

It is believed that infrared Tourmaline is the only single mineral to show permanent electricity on the earth. It is also a natural source of negative ions and far infrared (FIR) rays. Because of FIR rays, it is believed that Tourmaline can directly interact with the human body just like light does, reach well into subcutaneous layers of the body with its deep penetration ability causing internal warmth and, once illuminated, can cause natural vibration of water, protein, fat and enzymes. To put it simply, in many cultures, Tourmaline is believed to be helpful for improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function (Niwa Institute for Immunology, Japan. Int J. Biometeorol 1993 Sep; 37(3) 133-8). FIR rays also generates negative ions. Negative ions are odorless, tasteless, and invisible molecules that are abundant in certain environments like mountains, waterfalls, and beaches. Once in the bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of serotonin, a mood elevator, helping to relieve stress, boost our daytime energy and allow us to get a good night's sleep.

Detox Foot Patches also contain a wood vinegar also called pyroligneous acid. Wood vinegar is the fluid or sap from trees that has been distilled into a dry powder. Chinese medicine has long used the fluid from trees for it's perceived sterilizing properties and for it's use in physiotherapy to relieve minor pain and selling. As was reported in the Journal of Immunity, “The benefits I noticed are deeper and more restful sleep, better sense of well being the next day, joints feel more limber.” (Journal of Immunity, Vol 1 No 3, Oct-Dec 2003).

While the majority of users apply the adhesive Detox Foot Patch to the bottoms of the feet, the patches may be applied to many parts of the body. The foot is the most common place to apply the patches because according to the study of Reflexology, the various spots on the bottom and sides of the feet affect the well-being of the person. In addition, the feet are not subject to the daily environments most body parts are, thus making them more sensitive and responsive to treatments. The charts to the right shows you how, according to the study of reflexology, areas on the feet relate to specific organs in the body and how pressure points can be used to increase blood to those regions. So, use your best judgement and experiment trying Detox Patches on your feet and other part of your body to get the best results for you.

Why am I in a Hotel?

Well, on days off my land lady called me. I never answered and she left me a message. After the meeting I was in finished up, I checked the message:

"Hi Scott, it's Brandie. Sorry to bug you on your days off but, I had to go into the rental suite today. I just wanted to let you know. When I got in there, I heard a noise coming from the crawlspace so I opened the trap door to find water rushing in at an alarming rate! I called a family friend and they came over to help me and I'm not sure what's going to happen but I just wanted to let you know what was happening. Call me when you can!"

"GREAT!" with an abundance of sarcasm, was my reaction!

"What am I going to do now?" Hotels and dogs don't usually go hand in hand and the hotel I know that allow dogs, goes at a rate of $120/night! I started to panic!

Then the thought came through my mind, "this is exactly what I always tell people all the time, not to do! I tell people to not focus on the bad or it will bring more bad. Focus on good and creative ways to solve the problem instead of perpetuating it." So I changed my thinking instantly and enjoyed the rest of my days off, knowing a solution would either work itself out, or it would manifest itself to me and inspire me to take action when I needed to.

To make a long story short-er, I came back up to Dawson and stayed in a hotel until tonite, which will be my third night, and tomorrow we go back to the rental unit. Thankfully the water never raised above the opening of the trap door down to the crawlspace and no water was able to enter the living space. The restoration company was able to come and clean it up and we are no longer orphans away from home!

Healthy ME - Today

So today I decided to add a little something to the routine. I was up at 4:30 again and did a 15 minute ab routine as soon as I woke up. Really helped me to wake up and get going. Then I wrote down my goals that I wanted to accomplish today (as of noon I 80% complete already! More to come on this later) and I took Jax for a nice 10 minute walk! Then, off to the gym!

Today was Chest and Biceps again and since I already worked my abs at my hotel room (Yes! Hotel room! I'll discuss this later too!) I just focused on Chest and Biceps with minimal ab movements.

A) Detox Foot Pads

B) Cellulite Cream

C) Detox Tea

D) Male Enhancements

Over the next week I will take the time to give some more information for each product to help you make your choice. Or take the time to do the research yourself. Who knows, if we pick another product maybe the one you choose could be YOUR million dollar idea!

Healthy ME - Day.... ummm... Today!

Even though I was up until almost midnite, the first day back in Dawson, I got up at 4:30 am and got right back on track with the "Healthy ME" routine. I did go to the gym 5 days while I was at home but to be honest... I slacked! The intensity wasn't really there. It wasn't a total waste of time but I could have done better!

This morning was Legs and Triceps. I started with Jump Squats and did 5 sets and then did the wall sits and stair lunges. Check it out....

Stair Exercises: Lunge with Arm -- powered by ExpertVillage.com

For people looking to push it a little harder, try 30 pound dumbells and prior to doing lunges, do a wall sit for 30-45 seconds (shown below). You will feel the burn... TRUST ME!

The Wall Sit Exercise -- powered by ExpertVillage.com

Make sure to keep your knees bent at 90 degrees!

I did 3 different tricep movements which I will share with you the next time I do legs. I also did some calf raises to finish up.

POST # 100

Apparently we missed post number 100! Wow! That's crazy! Just over 2 months! Sure I haven't really made anything yet but I am on the cusp of doing some great things! One thing I have noticed is I think I have gotten myself into a situation where I have experienced "paralysis by analysis"! What that means is, I am analyzing too much and not moving forward. I need to trust my intuition and, like Nike tells us, JUST DO IT!

So in the next 30 days, there will be some major steps taken. Stay tuned to see. The next 100 posts are going to be very interesting, you won't want to miss it!

ERP Nutrition

Supplement line you ask? What happened while I was gone in regards to that? NOTHING!!

I was expecting to get my samples in the mail but apparently due to downsizing, my contact is run off his rocker and has a lot on his plate right now. He is dealing with multi hundred thousand dollar contracts as well as piddly little old me, so he is run a little ragged right now.

Bottom line is I need to see progress here. I have set a time frame for him to get me answers and see progress or else I take the idea elsewhere!

I know, I AM tough! I DO play hardball! HAHAHA

Honestly, I would prefer to go ahead with these guys. Drew, my contact is actually a good guy and an American who actually loves hockey so, he can't be all that bad! :P Bottom line is, if he can't get it done for me, I will have to find someone who will.

Anyways... anyone who was waiting for free samples may have to wait a little longer but it's on the way!

I will update as it progresses!

Ok... Ok I know... it's been a while. I just got back up to Dawson Creek yesterday (Wednesday). I spent the week at home running around, making phone calls, meeting up with people and wow... there is a lot to share. It may take me a couple of days to run it all done but here we go.

I have mentioned that I have set up my American corporation to make it possible for me to invest in the States. The papers have been sent away and I heard back from my contact saying that it's just a matter of time before that's all said and done so when I receive my articles, I'll scan and post them.

She also mentioned that it's not so hard for a canadian to get an american bank account now. She gave me the name of her contact and said that she has already started the wheels in motion there. All I have to do, is find some time to get down to any branch across the states and sign the paperwork. I believe the name of the bank is Washington Mutual.

I researched a bunch more properties which I will post over the next couple of days and Chris Peak has sent me a bunch to have a look at as well.

The most exciting thing that happened over the last week and a bit was I had a couple sit downs with a young man who is making quite a killing on the internet. He markets teeth whitening products to the American market and is doing quite well with it. He agreed to, in a way, apprentice me through the process he used to set up his business. The potential here is massive!
Looking at his numbers, dividing them in half, because I am so technologically inept, as we have seen... It is a situation that could help finance our real estate endeavors, therefore releiving us of any financing requirements.

I will expand on this more in the coming days...

Other than that, I also did some work for FHTM and had a bunch of phone calls but those would be the highlights of the week! Back in Dawson and ready to get to work! Mentoring phone call for the week is tonite! Let's see what we come up with!

Travelling Home

I'm headed back home today! I am leaving here in about 30 mins and just wanted to make a quick post because usually, I do my best thinking as I am driving this route. It gives me a solid 5 hours, at least, of good quality thinking time!

I am expecting to speak with my supplement guy from the states, my property management guy from Memphis and my connection with the Rent to Own properties out on the west coast. When I get home, as long as I have time tonite, I will post an update concerning all these phone calls.

I expect over the next month, for things to really take off! It is going to be very busy but I anticipate some huge strides forward in the weeks to come. I am going to set my goals in the next couple of days while I'm home, so stay tuned to see what I have planned. There will be opportunities for anyone interested in getting involved!

Also... Get your FREE SAMPLE OF PRIMER WHEY PROTEIN by sending me an email. Samples will be available later this week!

Alright... I'm going to hit the road! See you in Edmonton!

Healthy ME - Recipe

Double Chocolate Fudge
Add 8 oz of Non-fat milk or water. One scoop of chocolate "PRIMER" Whey Protein powder. Add 1/2 packet of Swiss Miss fat-free hot cocoa mix and three ice cubes. Blend at high speed for 45 seconds. For Muscle gain - Double recipe.

Healthy ME - Day 13

Back and Triceps!

Close Grip Pullups
3 sets of 6-10 reps

Wide Grip Lat Pulldowns
3 sets of 10-12 reps
Tricep Rope Cable Extensions
3 sets of 10-12 reps

Reverse Pushups
3 sets of 12 reps
Crazy Tricep Movement
3 sets of 12 reps
Over head tricep extension
3 sets to failure

One arm dumbell row
3 sets of 10-12 reps
Ab routine


Yet again, as little rest as possible between sets. The ab routine I will be adding its own posting over the next couple of days. I'm heading home for the next week so hopefully I will have a little extra time to spend on postings. We'll see ya in Edmonton!

7 Spiritual Laws of Success

The Law of Dharma or Purpose in Life

The seventh spiritual law of success, say that we are spiritual beings who have taken physical form to fulfill a purpose. Everyone has a purpose in life - a unique gift or special talent to give to others, and for every unique talent and expression of that talent, there are also unique needs. When we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our spirit. This is the goal of all goals.

There are three components to the Law of Dharma. The first component says that each of us is here to discover our true self, to find out that we are spiritual beings, or divinity in disguise.

The second component of the Law of Dharma says that each of us has a unique talent that we are here to express. Our talent is so unique that no one else alive has that talent, or that expression of that talent. When we are expressing our unique talent - or more than one talent in many cases - we are happy, and we lose track of time.

The third component of the Law of Dharma says that we are here to serve our fellow human beings with our talent. By asking the question, "How can I help all those who I come into contact?" we combine the expression of our unique talent with service to humanity, and make full use of the Law of Dharma.

The experience of our spirituality, coupled with the expression of our talent in service to humanity gives us access to unlimited abundance. This is the spark that generates abundance, and it's permanent, not temporary, because this is the real way abundance is achieved. By asking the question "How can I help?" instead of "What's in it for me?" we go beyond the internal dialogue of the ego, into the domain of our spirit - that part of our awareness where we experience our universality.

The Law of Dharma implies more than seeking work that we love; it implies our unique destiny, our place in the cosmic plan. It implies a shift in consciousness that begins when we align ourselves with our highest vision, and then become the manifestation of that vision. The force that serves as a bridge to such a transformation is also dharma.

First comes the moment whe we realize that life cannot succeed without vision. Then we arrive at the biggest mystery of all. What is the meaning of our lives in the scheme of the universe?The root word dharma, in Sanskrit, gives us a valuable clue: It means "to uphold." We know we've become part of the cosmic plan when the universe upholds and supports us. The seventh spiritual law of success brings the preceding six laws to fruition, for when we master the Law of Dharma, the whole universe is on our side. Every law and power of nature comes to our aid and supports us spontaneously.

Self-exploration isn't a task we accomplish and then abandon. Every person is a never ending project of the universe. we are like ships in the night, and the current that holds us up and carries us toward the dawn is dharma. If we open our spiritual eyes and see through the illusion of our conditioning, then the path of dharma beckons us. It was there all along. It is there now, at this very moment, calling out from the depths of our own awareness.

If you want to experience the Law of Dharma, there are several things you can do. The first is to seek your higher self through spiritual practice and discover your divinity; the second is to find your unique talents; and the third is to serve humanity with the expression of your talents.

If money was no concern and you had all the time in the world, what would you do? If you would still do what you currently do, then you are in dharma because you have passion for what you do. How are you best suited to serve humanity? Answer that question, put into practice, and you can generate all the wealth that you want.

When your creative expressions match the needs of your fellow humans, wealth spontaneously flows from he realm of the spirit to the world of the form. You begin to experience your life as a miraculous expression of divinity - not just occasionally, but all the time. And you will know true joy and the true meaning of success - the ecstasy and exultation of your own spirit.

To experience the Law of Dharma

-Nurture the divinity within you, the spirit animating your body and mind, by carrying the consciousness of timeless being in the midst of time-bound experience.

-Make a list of your unique talents. Then list all the things that you love to do while expressing these talents.

-Ask yourself daily, "How can I help?" and "How can I serve? The answers to these questions will help you to serve your fellow human beings with love.

Healthy ME - Recipe

Black & White
Freezer 1 cup of 2% milk. One scoop of PRIMER "Cupcake Batter" protein powder. Add 2 tablespoons non-fat french vanilla creamer, and 2 tablespoons Hershey's chocolate syrup. Blend at high speed for 45 seconds. For Muscle gain - Double recipe.

Healthy ME - Day 12

Great start to the day today! I woke up at 4:15, took Jax for a walk and I hit the bike for a quick 15 minute warm up. I grabbed my chicken breast and salad for the day and left for the gym. I got to the gym and was ready to rock and roll!

Workout was as follows:

Incline Dumbell Chest Press
3 sets of 10-12 reps
Hanging Leg Raises
3 sets to failure

Incline Dunbell Flies
3 sets of 10-12 reps
Barbell Bicep Curls
3 sets of 10-12 reps

Stability ball Pull overs / Chest dips
3 sets of 8-10 reps / to failure
Incline Dumbell bicep curls
3 sets of 8-10 reps

Stability ball pushups
3 sets of 5-8 reps
Hammer Curls
3 sets of 8-10 reps

I finished up with a nice ab routine! Today I felt energized and I really felt like I pushed myself. It's such an amazing feeling when you leave the gym after you feel like you have really pushed the limits. It's almost a euphoric type of feeling! I can't wait to get at it again tomorrow morning!

Tonite I will spend some time on the bike again. My focus is to really burn some calories over the next week to 10 days!

Stability Ball Pushup

For people looking to add another level of difficulty, try placing your feet on an elevated surface such as a bench, etc. Try using this movement right at the end of your workout to really abuse every muscle fibre in your chest and feel that "DEEP BURN" that Ron Burgundy speaks of!

7 Spiritual Laws of Success

The Law of Detachment

The sixth spiritual law of success, the Law of Detachment, says the way to acquire anything in the universe is to relinquish our attachment to it. This doesn't mean we give up the intention to create out desire; we don't give our intention, and we don't give up the desire. We give up our attachment to the outcome. The moment we combine one-pointed intention with detachment to the outcome, we will have that which we desire.

Anything we want can be acquired through detachment, because detachment is based on the unquestioning belief in the power of self. The source of wealth - or of anything in the physical world - is the self, the field of pure potentiality that knows how to manifest everything. All we need to do is nurture our deepest intentions in our hear and go with the flow.

Detachment comes from an inner knowingness that we are a pattern of behavior of a higher intelligence. When things don't seem to go our way, we can let go of our idea of how things should be. We know that in our limited awareness, we cannot see the synchronistic, harmonious patterns of the universe of which we and our intentions are a part.

Attachment, on the other hand, implies doubt and distrust in nature's intelligence and its infinte organizing power. Attachment is the melodram of the ego, because it is based on fear and insecurity, and this comes from not realizing the power of the self. Those who seek security chase it for a lifetime without ever finding it, because security cna never come from material wealth alone. People say, "When I have a million dollars, then I'll be financially independant; then I'll be secure." But it never happen. Attachment to money and security only creates insecurity, no matter how much money we have in the bank.

Attachment to symbols of wealth - cars, houses bank notes - creates anxiety because the symbols are transitory; they come and go. When we exchange our self for the symbols of our self, we end up feeling empty inside.

The search for security is actually an attachment to certainty, to the known, and the known is the prison to our past conditioning. Freedom from our past lies in the wisdom of uncertainty. Without uncertainty, life is just the repeition of outworn memories. There's no evolution in that, and when there is no evolution, there is stagnation, entropy, and decay.

In ancient wisdom traditions, the solution to this dilemma lies in our willingness to detach from the known, step into the unknown, and surrender our desires to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe. The unknown is the field of all possibilities, ever fresh, ever new, always open to the creation of new manifestations. This field can orchestrate an infinity of space-time events to bring about the outcome intended. But when our intention gets locked into a rigid mindset, we lose the fluidity, flexibility, and creativity inherent in the field.

Attachment to a specific outcome freezes our desire into a rigid framework, and this interferes with the whole process of creation. True wealth consciousness is the ability to have anything we want, anytime we want, with the least effort. Detachment is synonymous with wealth consciousness, because with detachment there is freedom to create. How can we create when we're clinging and grasping, and full of anxiety? We don't need to have a complete and rigid idea of what we'll be doing next week or next year, because if we get rigidly attached to that idea, then we shut out a whole range of possibilities.

The Law of Detachment does not interfere with goal setting. We still have the intention of going in a certain direction, but between point A and Point B there are infinite possibilities. With uncertainty factored in, we might change direction if we find a higher ideal, or if we find something more exciting. When we experience uncertainty, we're on the right path, and it's the fertile ground of pure creativity and freedom.

How can you apply the Law of Detachment? Begin by practicing detachment involvment. This means whenever you encounter a problem, you stay grounded in the wisdom of uncertainty, while expectantly waiting for a solution to emerge. If you remain detached, you won't feel compelled to force solutions on problems. This enables you to stay alert to opportunities, and then what emerges is something powerful and exciting. The state of alert preparedness in present meets with your goals and intentions, and allows you to seize the opportunity within every problem you have in your life.

Every problem is the seed of an opportunity for some greater benefit. Once you have this perception, a whole range of possibilities opens up, and this keeps the wonder and the excitement alive. Only by practicing detached involvment can you have joy and laugher. Then wealth is created spontaneously and effortlessly.

The word universe means one song. Your every intention or heart's desire is like a melody in nature's symphony; all you have to do is sing your song. A Rumi poem says, "I want to sing like birds sing, not worrying who listens or what they think." If you can sing your song with that attitude, you are participating in the Law of Detachment, and nothing will be able to stop the force of your intentions.

Relinquish your attachment to the known, step into the unknown, and experience all the fun, mystery, and magic of what may occur in the field of all possibilities. When your preparedness meets opportunity, a solution will spontaneously appear that benefits you and all those around you.

What is commonly called "good luck" is nothing but preparedness and opportunity coming together. This is the perfect recipe for success, and it is based on the Law of Detachment.
