JUST FEEL GOOD NOW

THE TRICK AND MAGIC I learned this in my days as a professional musician. I was at a recording session and I was observing the producer. (Without mentioning names, a very successful, seasoned and experienced gentleman) He was making a lot of money on the session and I couldn't help but notice, he looked as if he wasn't doing ANYTHING! Just listening, with the occasional chime in of "Sounds Great Fellas," "Nice," "I like it." You get the idea. How could a record company pay this guy so much  money for doing so little? - Came break time, and your young "Match" with no sense of decorum walked right up and asked our experienced producer the question. What is it you do that they pay you so much and it looks like you're not doing anything? A soft understanding smile from the Read the full article

Such A simple question and yet when understood, it becomes truly life changing! Do you react or respond? What's the difference? And how do you learn to have control over your fears and learn to make better decisions? Let's discover some of the answers together shall we?.... THE SIMPLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REACTING AND RESPONDING React: Typically when we react to something, we are not putting much thought into what we are doing or choosing to do. We are more or less having a "knee jerk" reaction to something, and acting out of habit or pure emotion without much thought to the desired outcome we want. Respond: Now when we choose to respond to something it is much different! When we respond, we tend to "step back" take a moment, and actually think consciously about what we want to do in the situation we find ourselves in. It is thinking with intent rather than being a victim without choice.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       UNDERSTAND? If you can understand the difference you are well on your way to a much happier life! Let's explore this a little further together shall we? Pleasure/Pain As human beings we either motivate by moving away from pain or moving towards pleasure. It is never based off of logic. Let me repeat and put it another way, as human beings we are NOT Logical creatures! We act on emotion! We think, then we feel, then we take action based on how something is going to make us FEEL. And that is either more pleasure (Good) or less pain (Also Good) Win/Win! If you want to help someone or help them change something negative in their life, or break barriers and fears they've built up their entire life, logic just ain't going to cut it! Don't believe me? Right now, during this pandemic, all one has to do is turn on the TV, radio, internet, or simply go outside to see the evidence of this. Everyone is different and has their own unique way of coping with things or in some cases not coping at all. It is NOT our responsibility to endlessly debate logic, and tell people "Just because you don't do as I do. YOU"RE WRONG." However, it IS our responsibility to help people, and the situation and make them feel better! That is, if they so choose and want to feel better. Understand? Your Map Your Reality As people, we all have our own unique way of looking at things, our unique reality or "map" of the world. The "filters" we choose to see the world through. It is based off our own experiences and what we intact through our senses. All 7 billion of us are convinced we are right with our own unique map and make the assumption everyone else agrees. GUESS WHAT.....THEY DON'T! I have a great post on this very subject, which is, a very profound ability to acquire, is the ability to meet someone where they are at and understand without having to go there yourself! Check it out here: Do You Have This Profound Ability? How We Process We each have our own view of reality and how the world works, or should work. And from there, we go out into the world and find the people and things that support our feelings and views. When we find them, we accept and invite them into our world and agree together. I have another great post on "Rapport." Bottom line, WE LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST LIKE US. You can check it out here: Do You Know The Single Greatest Way To Establish Rapport Fast?  Now continuing further from above... Everyone and everything else that doesn't fit our "picture," or "map," we will tend to ignore, won't acknowledge, and even completely deny, "write off," or vehemently oppose. Don't believe me? Consider the current climate and I will say two words....Democrat / Republican. You see this now, don't you? It is in action everyday! The ironic thing about that is, I have friends and colleagues on both sides of the aisle and when I bring issues to them in a completely unrelated context that's not political, they tend to agree with each other more times than not! AMAZING ISN'T IT? I'm sure you have experienced this as well. Another word you can use to describe this, is something called "Conformational Bias." Learn To Drive The "Bus" Rather than just be a passenger in your own "ride," learn to take control and be the driver of your own bus! Whether you think so or not, our thoughts and emotions ARE A CHOICE. SO CHOOSE WISELY by stepping back taking a moment to think before reacting and choose to respond instead. 9 times out of 10 if you "Respond," you will make a better choice! PATIENCE is the key. Then "THINK" with purpose and not just out of habit. Choose to FEEL the way you desire to feel, because it is a choice. You only have to learn how to access that part of you which is already inside you! Understand Now? I will leave you on that note and offer up this tool: “Two Envelopes” Explained How To Apply Try it out, give yourself 30 days doing it, and I guarantee your life will change for the better and you will be happier and well on your way to having the ability to control your anxieties and have true peace of mind in your life, no matter what challenges life brings! As always, JUST FEEL GOOD NOW! If you agree, leave me a comment, subscribe, like, etc. If you don't, do the same, because I would love to hear from you as well.

TRUE RAPPORT Let's start together here. Rapport is defined as: "A close relationship in which the people or groups concerned understand each other's feelings or ideas and communicate well." Have you seen it? Do you know how to recognize it, when you have it? Do you know how to establish it quickly?  Yes these are all great questions! By the time you're done reading this post I guarantee you WILL be able to! So let's dive in and discover together shall we: What does true rapport look like? Have you ever seen an old married couple, two close friends, or two people who have been in a relationship for a long time? If so, than you have probably witnessed "True Rapport." Question for you, Are the two people fishing in the picture above in "true rapport?" Hmm....Let's go deeper and find out... The Mistakes We Often Make Over the years I have had the pleasure of training many sales people and it always amazes me how they will continually make the mistake of "thinking they're in rapport," when the exact opposite is often the case.

All one has to do is look up to see the incredible magnitude and sheer size of what can be created out of the simplest of things.

Boy wouldn't our high school science teachers be grateful to know we all retained something from this class. ;-) Back to our friend hydrogen. It has one proton and one electron. Simple and yet anything in the universe can be created by building off this fundamental. I am here to give each and everyone of you the "Hydrogen atom!" One Proton, and One Electron for life! And A "Neutron Bonus" :-) THE "PROTON" You may be familiar with the quote, "If you can conceive it and believe it you can achieve it." Yes? It's is a quote from Napoleon Hill (I changed just slightly, because I think it is simpler :-) ) Now if you subscribe to this belief, the result you get is HUGE!

I recently found an article I had saved, pressed between the pages of one of my favorite books. It was something my father showed me out of “Investor’s Business Daily.” this was about 20 years ago, I clipped it out saved it and would periodically go back and read it. Here it is: Enjoy! 1. HOW YOU THINK IS EVERYTHING: Always be positive. Think success, not failure. Beware of a negative environment. 2. DECIDE UPON YOUR TRUE DREAMS AND GOALS: Write down your specific goals and develop a plan to reach them. 3. TAKE ACTION: Goals are nothing without action. Don’t be afraid to get started now. Just do it. 4. NEVER STOP LEARNING: Go back to school or read books. Get training and acquire skills. 5. BE PERSISTENT AND WORK HARD: Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Never give up. 6. LEARN TO ANALYZE DETAILS: Get all the facts, all the input. Learn from your mistakes. 7. FOCUS YOUR TIME AND MONEY: Don’t let other people or things distract you. 8. DON’T BE AFRAID TO INNOVATE; BE DIFFERENT: Following the herd is a sure way to mediocrity. 9. DEAL AND COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY: No person is an island. Learn to understand and motivate others. 10. BE HONEST AND DEPENDABLE: TAKE RESPONSIBILITY: Otherwise numbers 1-9 won’t mean anything. Peace & Blessings! Nick Read the full article

As I promised, I would be posting, this Easter weekend, another very powerful tool for you to use! If you apply this in your life I PROMISE YOU it will CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR YOU!! Some of you may be familiar with what I'm going to show you now, and for some of you, it is the first time you are being exposed to what I'm going to show you. Either way, we all can benefit, learn and continually apply this throughout the year and our entire lives!  It is one of my fundamental building blocks, so to speak. and I use this all the time, as well as, teach it, and make it required material of all my employees! The Bottom line, when you know how to use this tool and implement it, IT IS SO POWERFUL YOU WILL BE AMAZED AT THE RESULTS YOU WILL ACHEIVE!  Without further delay, let's discover, now together, exactly what I am talking about. I wish I could take credit for the following, but it is not mine to take credit for. It is only mine to share and expose as many people as I can to it's brilliance! It is taken from Napoleon Hill's unprecedented work, "Think and Grow Rich." I highly recommend reading and studying it. :-) Here are the six steps to do very specifically: Step 1 Decide the exact thing you want. IE: Amount of money, Relationship, House, Car,  etc. etc. The key here, you MUST be definite. Don't just think "I want to be wealthy or successful. Write down EXACTLY and SPECIFICALLY what it is YOU DESIRE NOW Example: I want to have $50,000 Step 2 Determine Exactly what you intend to give in return for what it is you want. This step is hugely important and the one most people will ignore and not do. THE FACT IS, THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. And Remember you have to give to get! ( Just Ask yourself the question; Have I ever gotten something for nothing?) When you do that you understand now. Example: I am going to give and freely share all my wisdom and knowledge, I have acquired over a lifetime, to everyone I meet. Or, I am going to give by helping at my local charity, or I am going to give by starting a business so I can employee people and bring them opportunity, etc. You get the idea. Anywhere you feel you can contribute and give value, do so. Step 3 Write down and establish a definite date you want to receive what it is you asked for in step 1. Example:  January 1, 2021 Step 4 Create a definite plan for achieving your desired outcome. Get started right away, whether you feel you are ready or not. Just start now and put your plan into action! YOU CAN DO IT , I KNOW YOU CAN, and REMEMBER JUST FEEL GOOD NOW and  ENJOY THE PROCESS Example: My plan of action is: I'm going to enroll in school and take classes, or I'm going to read that book on business, or I'm going to watch youtube videos on how to start an online business, etc. Step 5 Now write a very clear and direct statement summarizing the first four steps. Example: "I desire to have $50,000 and I intend to start a business and provide an opportunity for many people in return for the $50,000. I will possess the $50,000 by January 1, 2021. My plan of action is to start an online store where I can sell my goods and services. NOW SIGN IT AND DATE IT (Once we put things in writing, we tend to "own" it and follow through) Step 6 Read your statement aloud in the morning and before you go to sleep. As you read it, see, feel, and believe yourself already having what it is you want. Direct from Napoleon Hill: "The steps call for no hard labor. They call for no sacrifice. They do not require one to become ridiculous or credulous. To apply them calls for no great amount of education. But the successful application of these six steps does call for sufficient imagination to enable one to see and to understand that the accumulation of money cannot be left to chance, good fortune, and luck. One must realize that all who have accumulated great fortunes first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, desiring, and planning before they acquired the money." THAT'S IT! IT IS SO SIMPLE AND EASY TO DO! If you like, share your statement in the comments below. Let me know how I can help you along your journey in MAKING YOUR PICTURE! I'm here to support you in your dreams, goals, desires. Let's live life by design, not by a series of reacting to the things that happen to us. Which reminds me, I'll be posting this week, speaking to this very thing. Life by design, the difference between reacting and responding. Keep an eye out, it's going to be another good one. ;-) Until then, stay healthy, happy, and safe. Peace and blessings - Nick And to all those who celebrate, have a Happy Easter!

As I promised yesterday when I posted, I would present and explain the "Two Envelopes" Many of us are familiar with the great Napoleon Hill and his masterpiece "Think and Grow Rich."  The two envelopes is not the traditional math problem from school. Oh no no no......this tool is far more useful and literally life changing when you understand and use. It comes from the great Andrew Carnegie and some of his very first advice to Napoleon himself. Much as the statement, "if you can conceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it," has everything to do with your mindset and belief. I promise you, if you apply this tool in your daily life it will bring you peace of mind, make you more aware of everything, and all around immediately improving your quality of life! THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT DOING THIS IS, IT'S SO SIMPLE AND EASY TO DO!  My Prefece: As I say on my "WHY" page, we all stand on the shoulders of the great giants and mentors of all time. Along with most "Gurus,"  "movers and shakers,"  motivational speakers etc., in today's day and age, I would consider just about everything out there I hear, read, and listen to, as another brilliant way to package the same fundamental brilliant information that has been presented many times before. This one is coming directly from one of the original sources in Andrew Carnegie. Myself, as a person always looking for the easiest, simplest way to learn and master things, I look for the very fundamental. The "atomic' and "Sub-atomic" level of things, if you will.  And with the fundamental particles of matter, I AND YOU TOO CAN CREATE ANYTHING! Sorry for the geek out into physics land;-) I WILL BE POSTING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE MY FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS. MY " PROTON, NEUTRON and ELECTRON," if you will. So, if you like what you read, comment, follow me, and come back for more great stuff! AND AS ALWAYS FEEL GOOD NOW!! Without further delay here it is the "Two Envelopes." And how to apply  DO THIS: Get two envelopes. !. On the first envelope label it: "The riches I enjoy if I take possession & control of My own mind and direct it to the ends of my choice." 2. The second envelope label: " The penalties I pay if I neglect to take possession & control of my own mind and direct it." After you have made those labels, put in the envelope labeled #1 cards or paper labeled: Sound Health Peace of mind A labor of love of your choice. IE: go back to school, start my business, etc. Freedom from fear and worry A positive mental attitude Material riches of my choice and quantity Hopefully you get the idea now and you can put other things in the envelope as well :-) In the envelope labeled #2 put cards or paper labeled: Ill health Fear and worry Indecision and doubt Frustration and being discouraged throughout life Poverty and want Evils, such as; Envy, greed, jealousy, anger, hatred, and superstition Again you get the idea now and can put other things in the envelope. HOW TO APPLY Put both envelopes somewhere where you can see them first thing in the morning. Each day as you wake up, before you do anything else, look at them, and look at the contents inside. Then make the life changing decision every day, which one you want to open today. IT'S THAT EASY & SIMPLE TO DO! As time goes on, and you have created that daily routine and habit, you will be able to do this automatically by just looking at the envelopes without opening up. As well, you'll be able to do that every day without even having the envelopes, but it is the first thing in your mind each day. As well throughout the day, I find myself making that choice multiple times. I promise you, if you do that consistently for at least 30 days, you will never stop doing it your entire life. I guarantee you will have less stress, peace of mind, feel better, and the quality of your life will go up exponentially! TRY IT!  As always IMAGINE the POSSIBILITIES and FEEL GOOD NOW Peace Read the full article

Do you have this profound ability?... A great question... Let's discover together shall we? Throughout the years, I have trained many sales people and although each one was unique in their own way, the most effective people had this ability in common. The ones that didn't have this talent and ability certainly acquired it by the time I was done training them! IT IS A MUST TO LEARN NOW! Not only in the world of sales, but in your relationships and all aspects of your life when you are dealing with people! Now unless you are living on a remote island alone, where there are no other people, this applies to each and every one of us! As you read on you will discover exactly what I am talking about and if you feel you don't have this ability already, you are in luck, because I can teach you! What I am referring to is: The very profound ability of: MEETING SOMEONE RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE AT without having to go there yourself. Some sales trainers would describe this as empathy. Yes, you do need to have great empathy, but what that usually means for most people is "sympathy." Or even worse something I like to call "Empathetic Disease." To truly help someone or lead them, you MUST meet them where THEY are at without going there yourself. True empathy!  As an example: Let's take the alcoholic. To help them, you don't have to become an alcoholic yourself to understand them! And you certainly don't want to "enable" them with your sympathy, do you? But you do need true understanding of them, don't you?. Understanding where they are at, before you can help them or take them anywhere! How do you gain that understanding? Read on... It is very similar when you are making a sale or trying to help someone, lead them or influence them in a positive direction. YOU HAVE TO STOP TALKING SO MUCH AND LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN!!! Listen to "Where They Are AT!" IT'S THAT SIMPLE Now if you're TRULY LISTENING you will gain great clarity and insight on exactly "where they are at." What they need, what they want and desire, then and only then you will be able to help them get it. I go into much deeper training where I teach exactly "what" to listen for and "how" to listen for it! If you would like to learn more, leave me a comment or contact me directly. But For the purpose of this blog post, I think you are beginning to understand. I'll use a simple metaphor here... If you called me and said "Nick I have to get to New York City." My first question to you would be ok, "where are you at?" "I'm at home." "Ok, home is very vague, where are you at exactly?" You proceed to tell me exactly where, what country, city, street, etc. etc. You get the point. Once I know exactly where you are at, then and only then can I begin to formulate a plan and solution to get you to NY. The next question might be something like: "Do you have any money for a plane ticket?" "No." So now I would have to get creative and find another solution. Ex: "Ok, I'll loan you the money for a plane ticket and you can pay me back." From listening to you now I know exactly where you're at, what resource you have, and what you are trying to do. Now it becomes very easy for me to give this solution, doesn't it?: Solution:  "Go to the airport and there will be a ticket in your name waiting for you at United Airlines. It is a non-stop flight to JFK airport and arrives tomorrow night. The pilot knows how to get there ;-). I will meet you at the airport and pick you up." UNDERSTAND? If I take the time to understand you exactly "where you are at," the solution reveals itself very easily! Once you know where a person is at, it becomes very easy to become their trusted advisor and help them! But you can not skip this process or rush it!  (There is no magic pill, magic email to write, or magic system to shortcut it, but if you are willing, it is a VERY TEACHABLE AND LEARNABLE SKILL) And if you truly have THEIR best interest at heart, they will follow you. So be a leader and always do what's in your customers' best interest! And remember: "You can have everything in life you want as long as you help enough other people get what they want." - Zig ZIglar Feel free to share your thoughts, questions, or this entire post to someone you feel can benefit from reading it! As Always Peace & Blessings- NIck Read the full article

This is a great question, Isn't it? The reason  most peoples' "Thermostat" is stuck on the same "temperature," is, because they don't know how IT really works or how to raise it...That is.... not YET... BUT IF YOU READ THIS POST ENTIRELY, YOU WILL!  So let's get busy learning and understanding together shall we? Now follow along with me..... The Thermostat Metaphor We all see the dial on the wall, and logically understand, if we turn the dial up, it eventually gets hotter. And there are those times when the dial seems to get turned down colder, without us even touching it. True? It's as if there is a piece of glass covering the thermostat dial and we're not aloud to touch it!  Very frustrating To say the least! Isn't it? So now what?... What do we do?... And how can we break the glass and control our own dials? Hopefully, at this point, you are now understanding the "Thermostat Metaphor." So let's dive in further and explore together, shall we? As an example, and I'm sure you've seen and experienced the following: The person who can "SHOW YOU" what it feels like to have a thermostat on 100 degrees. They can also walk you in a room where it's 100 degrees and say over and over to you, "Wouldn't YOU like to have a life like this?" Read the full article

I didn't create it or make the rules, but I do know those are the rules! SO live in them, and you will see the result! ACTION: Give Value RETURN: Value is given unto you.

As I promised yesterday when I posted, I would present and explain the "Two Envelopes" Many of us are familiar with the great Napoleon Hill and his masterpiece "Think and Grow Rich."  The two envelopes is not the traditional math problem from school. Oh no no no......this tool is far more useful and literally life changing when you understand and use. It comes from the great Andrew Carnegie and some of his very first advice to Napoleon himself. Much as the statement, "if you can conceive it, and believe it, you can achieve it," has everything to do with your mindset and belief. I promise you, if you apply this tool in your daily life it will bring you peace of mind, make you more aware of everything, and all around immediately improving your quality of life! THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT DOING THIS IS, IT'S SO SIMPLE AND EASY TO DO!  My Prefece: As I say on my "WHY" page, we all stand on the shoulders of the great giants and mentors of all time. Along with most "Gurus,"  "movers and shakers,"  motivational speakers etc., in today's day and age, I would consider just about everything out there I hear, read, and listen to, as another brilliant way to package the same fundamental brilliant information that has been presented many times before. This one is coming directly from one of the original sources in Andrew Carnegie. Myself, as a person always looking for the easiest, simplest way to learn and master things, I look for the very fundamental. The "atomic' and "Sub-atomic" level of things, if you will.  And with the fundamental particles of matter, I AND YOU TOO CAN CREATE ANYTHING! Sorry for the geek out into physics land;-) I WILL BE POSTING IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE MY FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS. MY " PROTON, NEUTRON and ELECTRON," if you will. So, if you like what you read, comment, follow me, and come back for more great stuff! AND AS ALWAYS FEEL GOOD NOW!!   Without further delay here it is the "Two Envelopes." And how to apply  DO THIS: Get two envelopes. !. On the first envelope label it: "The riches I enjoy if I take possession & control of My own mind and direct it to the ends of my choice." 2. The second envelope label: " The penalties I pay if I neglect to take possession & control of my own mind and direct it." After you have made those labels, put in the envelope labeled #1 cards or paper labeled: Sound Health Peace of mind A labor of love of your choice. IE: go back to school, start my business, etc. Freedom from fear and worry A positive mental attitude Material riches of my choice and quantity Hopefully you get the idea now and you can put other things in the envelope as well :-) In the envelope labeled #2 put cards or paper labeled: Ill health Fear and worry Indecision and doubt Frustration and being discouraged throughout life Poverty and want Evils, such as; Envy, greed, jealousy, anger, hatred, and superstition Again you get the idea now and can put other things in the envelope. HOW TO APPLY Put both envelopes somewhere where you can see them first thing in the morning. Each day as you wake up, before you do anything else, look at them, and look at the contents inside. Then make the life changing decision every day, which one you want to open today. IT'S THAT EASY & SIMPLE TO DO! As time goes on, and you have created that daily routine and habit, you will be able to do this automatically by just looking at the envelopes without opening up. As well, you'll be able to do that every day without even having the envelopes, but it is the first thing in your mind each day. As well throughout the day, I find myself making that choice multiple times. I promise you, if you do that consistently for at least 30 days, you will never stop doing it your entire life. I guarantee you will have less stress, peace of mind, feel better, and the quality of your life will go up exponentially! TRY IT!  As always IMAGINE the POSSIBILITIES and FEEL GOOD NOW Peace   Read the full article

  As I paraphrase from our friend Napoleon: Perhaps the greatest Mastermind of all time was the 56 gentlemen who gathered, thought, constructed and signed the Declaration of Independence!   From a single idea, surrounded by people with a common focus; all contributing and supporting one another with their resources, talents, skills and ideas, became the birth of the GREATEST IDEA SEEN to man. The idea of the United States! The United States of America is the only country in the world that was not founded on a genetic tree, a geographical location, or royal family. Quite the contrary it was founded on an IDEA... A COMMON IDEA. AN IDEA FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE YES... A POWERFUL IDEA INDEED Now you can see just how powerful The Mastermind IS! The fact that you are here now reading this post, subscribed to my blog, digesting the content I am giving you, and responding to it is an of itself a Mastermind. Understand? You may have heard the term "Deal Flow." Which is the same idea as the Mastermind. Basically, with more people come more resources, and with more resources come more opportunity for all. It is all "Leverage" in the most positive way! "Remember a rising tide lifts all boat." Now that you understand the Mastermind Principle, go out and start your own Mastermind group. Get together once a week, or every other week, but the point is find people with similar goals and focus and help each other! AND REMEMBER ABOVE ALL YOU HAVE TO GIVE TO GET! SO GIVE VALUE! "You can have everything in life you want as long as you help enough other people get what they want."   As your visiting my site, and enjoy the content I give freely, "subscribe, like," and spread the world! I'm here to help in any way I can - Nick Read the full article
