We love Dan anyway because he also runs PR Leads, which provides many opportunities for us to speak to journalists about MoneyMinding. It’s a real bonus to be able to tell the world exactly why Enlightened Wealth is a life-changing read for the starting out, the lifestyle-financed and the worried wealthy alike.

At his year-end meeting, Kevin’s mentor asked him “How much are you planning to make this year?”
Kevin said that he was going to make a quarter million - that he was going to write a cheque of $250,000 to himself.
Her immediate response was “NO, that’s not challenging enough! You need to add a zero instead. It won’t be easy but it’s a good goal for 2008!”
Kevin did what she said, and wrote himself a cheque for one million dollars. Although he wasn’t convinced in himself that he could achieve that much, he was excited to go for it.
Soon after, something clicked, and he found a strategy that had his clients invest 4 million dollars with him from December 15th to 31st. This will bring in a commission check of $100,000. And the year is just beginning!

Ever wonder how other people seem to find opportunities and chances that never present themselves to you?
I used to think the same way too. If you were to ask me if I’ve always been successful, if I’ve always been able to network with others and spot the opportunities that come my way, my answer would be NOT AT ALL!
It may seem like my life has been a very smooth and successful ride. I wish that were true; however, I have discovered that only through challenges and struggles can a person grow and expand himself or herself to another stage of capacity.
The majority of people wish only that they had another’s success; what they never consider are the struggles and obstacles behind that success. Yes, i am blessed by the grace of God in all I have achieved this year, buy many don’t realize how much time, effort and money I have spent on personal growth.
Having an annual income of only ten to twenty thousand dollars in the last couple of years was not an easy thing, what with a mortgage and other buills to pay. Quitting a job that paid $35,000 annually to work full-time in the financial industry (making very little at first) is certainly a riskmany are unwilling to take. Most people are not willing to give up their comfort zone.
I have cried out to God many times, Why do I have to go through this? Why must I actively talk to people - something I am not comfortable with? At the time I was digging deeper into my line of credit and juggling credit cards in order to pay bills. I knew I couldn’t give up. I received an e-mail that said, “Don’t fear pressure for pressure is what turns rough stones into diamonds”. It was a constant reminder to me that these challenes were expanding my capacity to contain greater blessings.
And it’s true - your wealth is directly related to the capacity of your mind. Ever hear that most people who win the lottery lose everything, even becoming bankrupt, within 3 years? This is because they lack the mental capacity to contain their wealth. So they lose it automatically. We would all like to have lots of money, but 95% of us wouldn’t know how to hang onto it. Now ask yourself this question: What would I do if I had 5 million dollars? 95% of people will think of what to spend it on and then live on what’s left over. However, a successful individual will think of you to use this money to create more money, enought to live the lifestyle they desire.
Wealth and opportunity are everywhere. Every client has had a different reaction to the same strategy I presented. Many learned to think differently and do something outside their comfort zone. Your ability to earn wealth is within youself. I love one quote: “You want your life to be hard at the beginning so that it will become easy, instead of easy now and hard later.”
Tracy’s MoneyMinding program is excellent in this area of relating money and mindset.
