Recession-proof yourself!


It is the perception of most today that we are in a recession. Although I see evidence of that as being true, I still choose not to participate in it. :) Don't want to either? Well, recession-proof yourself! This recession is like a bad network marketing company that has all the pretty brochures and lots of talk of it truth, but if you look deeply, there is no truth to it at all! Don't believe the hype! The media, which thrives on gloom and doom loves to tell the people whatever they think will sell...choose not to buy. Turn off the mediums that deliver those messages and find something good that will fill up your mind. Recession-proof your mind. Give yourself a gift and choose to do things differently. I am participating in a class called the 30 day mental cleanse, designed to clear your mind of the negative chatter. That is a good alternative to the muck that is out there. You could also participate in your own experiment like the $1000 a day game that I am playing. It is so important to remain stout-hearted and keep your thoughts to things other than lack. That is why it is so important to keep your mind on things that are abundant! The key is to experience the abundance along with the imagining. If there is no excitement tagging along with the imagination, you will keep yourself farther from your desire! So get psyched up and imagine your wealth building up and up and up! I have heard from Paul Zane Pilzer that this is the time that more millionaires are going to be made than EVER! That is the news that I want to be a part of. All these retailers, suffering in this economy, are going to herald a new way of doing things, a new way of thinking, a new way of life. We need to find our niche in this new way that is being born, since, in life, it is always painful when a birth is taking place. I have chosen to be a part of the home based business community...that is where I believe you can find a recession-proof way to build YOU! Networking and building up YOU is where it is at! I can help you build yourself up if you choose to take on the challenge.
All the best, always.

My THOUSAND Dollar experiment....Day TWO

It is now day 2 of my experiment. What will I do with my $2000? I will take my family on an excursion to the City in a chauffeured Hum V! (I would need something that big to fit everyone!!) We would get to the city, visit Central Park, stop in Toys R Us to get some toys the kids have been thinking about getting, go eat at an awesome Italian Restaurant, Tony's DiNapoli (oh I just die thinking about how good that food is!!) Then we would go to see the Tree and Rockefeller Center, walk around some more, maybe do some window shopping, and call it a day! Everyone would be so tired, but happy! The day would end with a lot of "Thanks, Mom!"s It would be so much fun! Can't wait to go!

My THOUSAND Dollar experiment

One of the exercises recommended by a book I have read recently is to make a log of how you would spend $1000 in one day and add $1000 to each day with a goal of spending that virtual money by the end of the day. I started to do this at the beginning of this year and got away from it, so I am going to have fun and play with it here. I promise I will try to keep it short, but it will be increasingly harder to cut short as the money gets bigger! It will be fun nonetheless. Today, I am going to spend the money on some new audio equipment so that I could make better audio sound bytes for my business.
What do you desire with your virtual thousand dollars? Give this exercise a try and see if it changes your financial situation! I will let you know what happens!
