Access Your Full Circle of Power!

September 19th — 23rd, 2012
Oso Vista Ranch, 126 Kestrel Rd, Ramah, NM 87321

I hope you can make it to our Fall Retreat later this year.  We call it the “Access your Full Circle of Power Retreat” because that is exactly what we will be doing.  Helping you tap in and find your power, your truth, your authenticity and your genius.

These 5 days will be dedicated to helping you redesign your life, around the very essence of who you really are.

1. Are you ready to live the life God intended you to live?
2. Are you ready to live a life filled with love, purpose, passion and prosperity?
3. Do you believe that you can have it all?
4. Are you ready to get to the next level … whatever that might be for you or your business?

Then this workshop is for you. Seriously.

Overview:
We will leverage the teachings of the Wha-Dho Philosophy. We chose to do this retreat in the high desert country of New Mexico, in the city of Ramah, which is 7600 feet above sea level, because the land is truly enchanting, alive and very intense. You are going to love it. Listen to your heart and let the land speak to you. The retreat center is right next to the Navajo Reservation and the Zuni Territory.  I have been going there since 2004 and have done several personal retreats and workshops in the region.  Its just outstanding – Check out these photos from a similar retreat we did there in 2010.

You will also have the opportunity to do work with a few other healers and medicine men and women who will join us.

Leyton Cougar:

Author, Speaker and the Executive Director of the www.WildSpiritWolfSanctuary.org – Leyton will work with us one afternoon, sharing his message of connectivity to the wolves and the land. We will visit the sanctuary and hopefully get to play with the wolves.

He will teach us how we humans and wolves, as well as all things living; are interconnected spiritual beings. Once you can tap into the spirit of nature and understand the nature of your own spirit your life can become more free and in harmony with nature.

The wolf is a symbol of the wild. That symbol represents freedom, strength, balance, harmony and oneness. These are just a few of the attributes that the symbolic wolf represents. There are lessons we can learn from the wolf the wild and nature.

We can learn much from Mother Nature… from nature’s engineer, the beaver to nature’s candy makers, the honey bee.

It has been said, that the wolf is the primary teacher of man, as part of its role in nature. For over twelve years now I have lived in the company of over 200 wolves and wolf dogs. I have hundreds of stories and first hand experiences that have taught me volumes about wolves and nature, the nature of spirit and the spirit of nature.

I wanted to share a marketing strategy that one of my clients is using. To some this might seem self centered and a brazen act of self promotion — well yes! it is! Welcome to reality.

Notice the creativity and the leveraging of resources that we all might have access to. I learn’t this from Jay Abraham at our last MasterMind group with Larry Benet the Connector.

Rocky, the CEO of Icon Environmental Group bought a few of my books The Market Has Changed Have You? and had his sales execs cold call the best prospects — leading with a gift, a signed copy of an award winning book. But we also scripted their pitch to include narratives about how different and kick-ass Icon was, … because guess what? The market has changed over the last few years and businesses have had to do things differently.

The response to this sales calls where they gave the book as a gift – were so significant, that Icon decided to expand the campaign and reach out to many more prospects.

Consider doing the same – Lets have a conversation about how you can leverage the book, my strategies and your sales process to get to more of your “ideal clients and prospects”.

Have a fantastic week!

Jay Abraham (www.abraham.com) talks about how it is super important to leverage the relationships you have because it is too costly, too time consuming, too hard to act alone trying to do things by yourself.

Once you are clear about what your are committed to accomplishing – it is wise and power to leverage the collective resources you have access to; which is simply other peoples ….

• infrastructure
• distribution
• goodwill
• brand currency, etc;

Let me ask you a question; Is your thinking diluted; with a delusional fallacy in thinking; which is very common amongst people.  It goes like this …

1. Do you think you have to do what ever you are committed to doing, …alone?
2. Do you think you need to grow in logical small steps? or
3. That you have to  re-invest all your earning into your business, resulting in a not so comfortable life?
4. Do you believe that you have no alternative but to suffer, and only when you do this for a long time, will you earn the right to be successful?

Well, let me tell you; this my friends is totally crazy.  It is time, you took a hard look at the relationships you have and make powerful assessments to see what valuable resources you have access to. Take stock, make a list of who you know and what the degree of seperation is?  How well do you know them? and … Go build more relationships.

My friend, Bob Beaudine who wrote the book “The Power of Who” says it well – you know everyone you ever need to know already! to live a totally successful life. He and the people in his company have a real interesting practice.  Every Friday – from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. they do no work in particular; except pick up the phone and personally call the top 100 people that are close to them.  Just to check in and see how they can add value to their lives.  Many great things have come out of this one single practice.

Have a fantastic week and start enhancing and leveraging the Relationship Capital you already have.

Some of the ideas he talked about were …

1. Tenacity – stay the course, if you fail, get up and get with it. Keep going till you succeed.
2. Lean on friends and leverage the power of friendship.
3. Listen to your wife – he did not say it directly but kept alluding to how she weighed in on business decisions.
4. Focus on only 10 prospects at a time and close a higher percentage.
5. Take time to think about the effectiveness of your marketing strategy to these 10 prospects. Make them count.
6. Keep innovating – he designed a new approach to publishing and is using it now to win big time!

We were talking about the 12 Steps to Success and diving deeper into the process. On Small Biz Fight Club yesterday, I worked through the process with a couple of business owners and talked through a few real-life situations. Listen to the recording and see how you can leverage this process to take your life and your business to the next level.

Check out what Ian Liddell talks about his Finance Leasing business and how he his changing his areas of focus. He now works with Summit Vendor Finance and has a real good solution for business owners that want to lease their computers. In today’s business world leasing might make good business sense. You should reach out to Ian if you thin you need to consider that option.

By the way – here this the link to the Audio PodCast

When it comes to planning an Annual Business Strategy, it is very important to make sure you are address exiting and new markets. One thing we talked about is how important it is to make sure you are conducting “Business As Usual” while you make changes and address new markets and new strategies. I am a big believer in playing is safe and smart.

Keep doing what you are currently doing and bring in your base line of revenue while simultaneously assigning some of your resources and attention to new markets, new market segments and new activity to bring in the added growth. If you do not do this, you could very easily get into trouble and loose market share and revenue. Managing “Change” is very important.

Look no more for a strategy to get you from a place of discomfort to financial and life success.  After all this is the goal right? That is why we do any of this. To live a good life, enjoy the ride and also save enough resources to take care of us and our children when we retire.  By the way, there is a number that is enough for retirement.  It varies for everyone, but at a minimum; I believe it is $2million capital at work – or CASH that is producing interest income that you can live off of.  That is if you life in the Midwest.  If you lived in NYC or any of the other high cost of living areas; that number will need to increase. More on all this later.

So here are the 12 steps …

1. FEEL YOUR DISCOMFORT:
   This is key – if you do not do this, and know exactly why your current situation does not work for you, you will not shift.  You will remain content and not change.
2. FIND YOUR PASSION:
   Get clear about what wakes you up, fires up your creative genius and offers you a platform to excel in and grow your business to succeed.
3. BUILD & MAINTAIN STABILITY:
   This is key – remember we are talking about growing your business, improving your sales and revenue.  Things take time, so make sure your current operations provide you the stability needed to play the game. Its not just about money.
4. DESIGN A WINNING STRATEGY:
   This is about finding a valuable market opportunity, a need that you provide a solution for.  You have to focus on “Valuable Opportunities” and once you do; design a strategy to go after this market segment and make some money.
5. BECOME THE EXPERT:
   You have to be an expert anymore.  Nobody has the time to waste dealing with someone who is an amateur – well if they do, they will NOT pay you top dollar and that is what we are shooting for.  We have financial goals to attain.
6. ACCESS FINANCIAL RESOURCES:
   You need money to roll-out your business strategy. Make sure you have enough of it.  Get smart about being frugal and do as much as you can with as little as possible.  But make sure you have enough.
7. LAUNCH YOUR BUSINESS:
   When you have everything you need to get started … get started!  All the steps so far have helped you get ready and prepare.  Now its time to make things happen.  Ask me about my thoughts on starting a new business … actually I would not.  Go buy one.
8. THE PRINCIPLE OF PURPOSE:
   This is the fundamental principle that suggests you get very clear about what is the Ultimate Sake for which you are acting?  What is the core sense of what you want to do in life? What do you want to accomplish? What is your purpose for living?
9. THE PRINCIPLE OF PROSPERITY:
   Every dream has a price tag!  Whatever your plans are for life? It has a price tag.  Get clear about how much money you need to fulfill on your ultimate goals in life that you are committed to accomplishing.
10. THE PRINCIPLE OF PROCESS:
    This is the principle that specifies the process you will follow to make the money to fulfill on your life’s goals.  Do you see how these principles will help you stay grounded and focused in your business activity?
11. THE PRINCIPLE OF PEOPLE:
    You cannot do anything without people – make sure they are good people.  These can be folks you work with, your clients, your partners and vendors.  Make sure you make powerful assessments and connect with the “Right” people.
12. THE PRINCIPLE OF PRACTICAL LEADERSHIP:
    This is the the force multiplier – help all these people that you have picked out carefully; live their dreams and fulfill their sense of purpose.  Once you show up as that resource in their lives … they will go the extra mile and reciprocate your care and concern.  Which in turn helps you increase your ability to act.

Join Small Biz Fight Club and learn how to put all this into action, so you can take your life and business to the next level and fulfill on your life goals.  We wish you only the very best.

Really enjoyed this interview – Dr. Herb Greenberg started Caliper Corporation – that company that does personality assessments for employees – helping companies match the right talent with the right job.

Herb and my friend Patrick Sweeney who is the CEO wrote an award winning book Succeed On Your Terms.  After interviewing 200 leaders – they realized that these four traits exist in all great leaders – I find them absolutely right on target.  Check them out.

1. Definition of Self – you have got to know exactly who you are and what you want out of life.  What makes you successful?
2. Knowing yourSELF -  know your strengths and weakness.
3. Courage to take advantage of a Defining Moment – could be a bad or a good event or even a great idea.
4. Love the work you do – you cannot be at the top of your game, if you do not love what you do.

Thought I would also embed the video interview for you here.

Over the last couple of months – we have been having a few conversations on Small Biz Fight Club (http://tinyurl.com/3qxrxwf) calls, on “WHY” we do anything at all in the market place.  We all have different goals and passions; dreams of a life we want to live.  Question is – how many of us are living our dreams? Are you? Are you on-track to live the life you have always wanted?

My invitation to you is this – have you figured out what that dream life will cost you?  Remember, very dream has a price tag.

Say you plan to live in Gainsville, State of Florida when you retire and live in a Condo – that has one price tag.  Now if you change that and say you want to live in the Wellington are in Florida – the real estate costs will be different and the cost of living will be different – so please take the initiative to plan your budgets and be clear about how much your dream life will really cost you.

In my opinion – I think the “minimum” amount of money we need to have in this country is about $2,000,000.  This is capital at work – which will produce about $80,000 in annual income that you can use for your living expenses.  Is that enough? Will $80K allow you the life-style you want? Or do you need to more?

The question is — you need to protect yourself for living in the future, when you cannot work everyday. I want more of us to work through this, so we can protect ourselves and our families.  Work through this for yourself and make sure you are on track to live your dreams and the life you have always wanted to live.  This is the magic of life.  This is authenticity and integrity.

Let’s make this a reality for you. I have even taken this further and am now coming up with a plan to help you get on track – where you will be confident you are on track to make your $2M within 5 years.  Not make the $2M necessarily, but get you on track to make it. I have started working with some business owners now and things are going well.

Ask me about my 2-in-5 program!

To your massive success!

Paul
