I spent the weekend at
the InternetIncomeSummit.com in Santa Clara. I know that doesn’t fit in
with my normal postings that are more about the Law of Attraction and conscious
living. Yet, as I was listening to the impressive line up of speakers and
realized they were promoting the intent to release the audience from the
binds of chain of those employed. When someone tells you they went from
zero to $6,000 a month, it dawned on me that they were referring to the
law of attraction.
The event sponsor, Srini
Saripalli is a blog expert in his own right and hosts several Meetup groups
around the Silicon Valley. He managed to bring in speakers, although not
well known names for the general public, are well established in the world
of 2.0 and marketing.
I was pleasantly surprised
to here Jerry Clark’s story about how he came from such humble beginnings
to being about to send his mother who still works for $40,000 a year, $50,000
a month. He started out by listening to motivational tapes and changed
his perspective on his ability to Create his Own Reality ala the Law of
Attraction.
One of the true surprises
was Gary Spirer who professes that true business is conducted face-to-face.
The reason I enjoyed this declaration is it coincides with my core belief
of people enjoy doing business with those they know, like and trust (I
know it’s an old adage, but nevertheless, true even today).
What are you doing to
control your income and live a lifestyle that supports your ideals and
doesn’t involve the survival syndrome?

I went to an event in
Oakland last Friday night; I was looking forward to it for weeks. It was
my first “White” party. I even made a special outfit since I didn’t have
a single totally white one. I enjoy sewing and creating things that are
unique, so it was a fun to prepare for. I was supposed to meet up with
a colleague who didn’t show up and I was standing there after talking with
several people that I’ve known through business and this delightful woman
walks by and I asked if she knew anyone there.
My new friend Jaruwan
Taylor
As luck would have it,
her friend had just texted her to say she had decided to party hop! Geeze!
So, we got to spend the time getting to know more about each other and
having a lot of fun people watching. As it turned out, it wasn’t a business
event at all. It was like one giant “pick up party”. I haven’t seen people
that obvious about “checking each other out” since I was in my 20’s. And
yet, we still had a great time.
It has to do with being
in the moment, not basing the ultimate outcome on what was expected, but
what actually was. We even talked about how easily it would have been to
be disappointed and not have a good time of it, but we made the conscious
choice to make the best of it.
Life is but a series
of choices and whether we live our lives with the possibilities in mind
is always totally up to us.
If you were to take
30 minutes each day and work toward that goal, in one month, you would
have spent 10 hours working towards your ideal!
Go for it! |
