I’ve had many struggles in business over the last few years. When I lost my job a few years ago, I thought it was the end of the world. The economy came crashing down, and I couldn’t find another job. I was struggling so much with finances, and when I searched online, I came across all these “Make-money online” opportunities.

With taglines like “Make thousands of dollars with just a push of a button,” I simply couldn’t resist. So I tried one money making system, and then another system, and then another. A year and a half later, I was still in the same boat and none of those systems seemed to work for me.

Why were all the other guys making a lot of money, but I was barely making anything?

Over the past year, I realized all of my issues were internal, and that I wasn’t very clear on what I wanted. Sure, I wanted more money to pay my bills and live a comfortable life. But what did I really want?

After going through my personal transformation this year, I realized that I wasn’t even clear on my own values. Our actions are heavily influenced by our core values, and our actions usually determine our results and outcome. So when I wasn’t even clear internally, my external world simply reflected back the confusion that I was experiencing inside of me.

After cleaning up my inner world (though this will always be a lifelong process), I’m now ready to realize my vision and start creating my own external world. I want my business to be a reflection of Who I Am inside.

So it was timely that I came across Cathy Demers’s presentation on creating your business that is aligned with your purpose and vision. One of the most important things Cathy stressed was that your vision should contain your core values.

How do you identify your core values? Cathy presented to us a very straightforward process:

1. Identify 3 people who you admire
2. Ask yourself what qualities you admire in them
3. Determine if you see those qualities in yourself

So here’s how I identified my values using this simple exercise:

1) I chose Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Richard Branson

2) Qualities I admired in them:

• Mahatma Gandhi – spiritual, leadership, courageous, influential, freedom fighter, committed to self growth

• Martin Luther King Jr. – courageous, outspoken, determined, high integrity, freedom fighter, committed to self growth

• Richard Branson – creative, innovative, adventurous, always looking to expand and push the barriers, successful

3) After looking at this list, I feel my values are:

• Courage
• Spirituality
• Integrity
• Adventure
• Self-growth
• Freedom

Now that I’ve identified what my core values are, I’m ready to create a business and work on projects that are aligned with these core values. This will perhaps evolve over time, but at least I’m clear right now on my values.

Do you know what your values are? If not, go ahead and do that simple exercise. Please make sure to spend a great deal of time on this. Good luck!

What Is The Law Of Attraction?

Perhaps you’ve become aware of the popularity of the Law of Attraction. The big question is: how can you incorporate its principles into your daily existence?

To do this correctly, we must first understand what the Law of Attraction means and what its guiding principles are. Thankfully, they’re quite simple and easy to comprehend.

The Law of Attraction states that negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive. The universe can understand our subconscious minds, and it delivers things according to the way we’re thinking.

If we want the Law of Attraction to provide us with positive rewards, joy, and happiness, here are some simple strategies to follow:

1. Always give thanks. For us to live the Law of Attraction on a continuous basis, we must always give gratitude. What this means is that, no matter what we have up to this point in time, we must profess thanks for it.

If you sincerely practice this on a continuous basis, you’ll be rewarded with many positive things.

A good way to practice this on a daily basis is to give thanks each day upon rising and at night before going to bed. At these times of the day, our subconscious mind is most receptive.

Proclaiming gratitude keeps us humble and reminds us of all the good things in our lives.

2. Escape negative thoughts and feelings. More than likely your life is extremely hectic and stress-filled. It’s easy to become frustrated and negative about a lot of issues and situations. According to the principles of the Law of Attraction, we must redirect these feelings immediately. Remember that positive attracts positive, but we also must not forget that negative attracts negative.

Because of this, if we focus only on the negative, we’ll only attract negative things back into our existence. For example, if you’re in a long supermarket line, instead of thinking about how much you hate food shopping, think of your kids’ faces when you make their favorite meal.


There are many people in this world who live a positive existence; those are the

kind of people you must emulate.

3. Voice what you want. As per the Law of Attraction, if you request something, it will be brought to you. Do you want happy children, more money, love, and a well-paid job? All this can be yours, but you need to request this through your subconscious.

For instance, if you’d like love brought into your existence, you must truly picture yourself with love in your life. Imagine how happy you are, the smiles on your faces, and enjoying things together.

Just remember that you must request this sincerely. Only true positive energy will attract back more positive things. You can’t fake it!

The Law of Attraction proves to us that our subconscious is a powerful tool. It’s a tool that can provide us with everything our heart desires if we know how to use it correctly. Incorporate the principles of the Law of Attraction, and with an open heart, you can have a happy and fulfilling life.
