Mentoring with Self Made Millionaires!

I'm off to Nashville tomorrow to mastermind with a small group of leaders. 2 of them the top income earners in this business and well known in this industry as a whole. It'll be about 15 of us training intimately with the two of them and this is what I LOVE about this business. They're not making a dime off this weekend. They're doing this because their vision is to give back what was given to them. Knowledge and Action. This woman was even sought after by Laura Langmeyer. I made a decision to be there because I understand that we are all like the 5 people we hang around the most. Where else do you get to meet up with people who are abundant, wealthy and generous? I love love love this business because it's forced me to be okay looking fear straight in the eye, to walk in unfamiliar territory for something that I believe in. I'll be back on Monday with all the great nuggets I've learned. Yeah!

Cancer

My aunt died from breast cancer last week. She was only 50. She had been a survivor for 20 years! The doctors said she was a miracle to even last this long, but I attribute that to her strong mind and positive thinking. I didn't know this until but a year ago, but part of her daily routine would be to go for her morning walk and as she would walk she would stretch out her arms and as she outstretched her arms she would verbalize and visualize..."I'm am healthy! I am going to live a long long time" and her prayer would be that she would live to see her daughter turn 18. When her daughter turned 18, her cancer came back and my cousin is now just 19. The power of the mind. The power of intention!

My mom died at 62 just 2 years ago and she had anaplastic thyroid cancer. One of the rarest and deadliest forms out there. My mom died within 2 weeks of being diagnosed, even though they said she had a few months still. The power of the mind. Her body gave out so quickly because she didn't want to live. I saw her body shut down and I had never seen anyone die before. I didn't realize that your body shuts down one system at a time, with your breath being the last. At least this is what happened to my mom. Long story short, I learned a lot about the power of the mind and what you think in these 2 examples. The point: TREAT EVERY DAY AS IF IT WERE YOUR LAST and TAKE HOLD OF YOUR MIND AND FILL IT WITH THOUGHTS OF JOY AND LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND LOVE.

Switzerland

That's where Keith was ALL last week for work. I was here with Tae and we were BUSY the entire time. I thought I was going to have a moment to breathe with Keith away but one thing after the other seemed to come up with the rental. It sucks not to have family in town so that I could just drop Tae off with in times such as these, but this is the EXACT reason we're doing this business. With his widowed mom in Nova Scotia, and my widowed dad in California, it just seems wrong to be living so far from family, ESPECIALLY now that there's grandkids involved. The beauty of this business is that it works ANYWHERE so it'll definitely give us the flexibility I always dreamed of!

The Most Awesome Tenant!

Wow...it worked! I had a ton of showings, and out of all the showings I had, some wanted it, some didn't, but only one came with a briefcase with all her information...credit report, income verification, references, everything! I've never since this day ever had someone that prepared. I called her landlord and her references were EXCELLENT! She even had the entire deposit AND rent beginning the middle of this month! I even went to see her place and it was VERY clean. AND, it was the best rent that I could get for that area outside government assisted housing. Now that this is wrapping up, I'll be using the same thoughtful process for the rental coming up at the end of this month.

Tenants

I've had a busy week. I evicted a tenant and so I've been busy coordinating the clean out and renting of it. My old self would worry with fear about getting it rented out again and worried that we would not get a tenant for the price we wanted. I would obsess about it and of course this would result in nagging Keith. This time, it's been a total relief. My attitude is that I'm grateful that she's moved out cause it'll make way for a FABULOUS, CLEAN and RESPECTFUL NEW tenant. I absolutely envision it and believe it. And when I get glimpses of fear creeping back in my mind, i STOP, and I visualize with emotion the tenant that is coming. This technique is awesome and has helped me get my mind muscle in more shape. I'm getting things wrapped up and ready for our move to the mountains this summer. That'll be AWESOME and I'll write about that one at a later date. But I've got one other tenant move out this next month and we'll be good to go! Life is good.

Focus on what you DO want.

I am always blown away when B. speaks on the leadership call. So insightful. It was full of incredible nuggets as usual but it was also inspiring to see the growth and development of people that I have met in this business. What really resonated with me is throwing poverty consciousness out completely. You know how you set goals for yourself and along the way you get whispers of doubt? KILL THAT. Set goals and ONLY entertain thoughts that will get you excited about the achievement of your goals. If you were to have a dollar in your bank, some people (like my prior self) would freak out and feel poor and therefor start focusing on the fear and start hoarding money. I got reminded today that you don't look at that one dollar, you look at the million that you are in process of attaining and move forward with your income producing activities. What a way to live! I'm GRATEFUL, that there are no guarantees in life for it is in the process, the achievement of goals that is so ever thrilling. This process that I feel within me, of stretching my intellect, my inner being, is ever so tantalizing and I'm completely ecstatic.
