Choosing and Claiming It!

I’m going to share with you a very subtle but powerful distinction that may well change the rest of your life. If you have been reading this newsletter for any length of time, you know that I say over and over again that there is great power in setting your intention. If you want anything in your life to be better, different, now, all you have to do is ask. Yes, and there is so much more to it than that. Once you state what you want, you need to positively focus your emotion on what you want. Then the biggie: You must trust that your desire will be created.

Well, all of this is true. But, if you’ve been doing all that and your desire isn’t here, it’s frustrating! I know! I practice everything I’ve ever offered in my articles. So here’s the distinction: Have you actually chosen and claimed your desire?

Let me backtrack for a moment. One of my companies is called Abundance Abounds, and we offer the 12-week teleclass called The Prosperity Game. We have coaches who lead the class, and every week we have team meetings. Last week we were discussing the fact that there are certain things in our lives that we have been passionately wanting for a long time. We have set our intention, we have been talking about the desire, we’ve been visualizing the dream and taking inspired actions. Why the heck isn’t it here yet?! Aren’t you sick of wanting it? It should be here already!

So, in the middle of this “venting,” one of our brilliant teleclass leaders, Edie, said something that changed my life. She said to another gal, “Have you chosen for it to be different?”
Hmmmmmm. Chosen it? Well, maybe wanted it to be different, but not chosen it.
There is a big difference between wanting, desiring, hoping and wishing for a desire versus choosing and claiming the dream. Choosing means I choose. I am in the driver's seat. It’s the same as going into an ice cream parlor and drooling at the flavors. You want an ice cream. You have not yet chosen your flavors and placed the order.

Choosing is an action. It is an internal process that manifests itself through your attitude and actions. I can keep wanting my perfect house on the hill with the view of the bay, or I can choose to have it now. If I choose it now, I get very clear … It is mine! I then feel inspired and call my real estate agent. I tell her exactly what I want. I will not buy the house that will “work” for me. I choose the house I really want. I don’t choose a house that I have to completely remodel to love. I choose a house I love. I don’t settle for anything less than what I really want because I understand that I get to have the dream house now.

Now, this concept applies to things that seem a bit more challenging as well. I choose to have my body totally healthy. I’m choosing to heal myself. I choose to feel good. No more putting up with pain. There is a choice that is happening. Out of choice, there is a commitment. Why would I keep choosing pain? Well, I was. I had not made a solid decision, with every cell of my being, to have it be different.

When you choose, it is powerful. I think a lot of times we are letting something or someone else choose for us. We forgot our power. Choose and claim the prosperity you want. You choose -- your schedule, your friends, your life purpose, the amount of money in your bank account, to be powerful, that you are worthy of massive amounts of wealth, and everything in your life.
You are at choice about everything in your life. There is no exception to this rule. Play with the concept. It takes guts, and you have to be willing to give up being a victim to the way it has been for you. Choose, choose, choose. Claim what you want and it will be yours. Be patient. It will happen fast when you stop being attached. Choose and relax.

Creating Your Advisory Board - Part 1 Steps 1 & 2 - Thanks Kevin, I will go through each step in detail, starting with this post. 1) determine the objective of your advisory board. Why do you want an advisory board? to generate better ideas, open up new markets, launch new products? brainstorming, problem solving, fiduciary duties etc? Whatever you need from your board, be very clear in presenting what you want to accomplish by building this team. A good advisory board can be general in scope or targeted on specific markets. know how often you want to run meetings and set agendas appropriately. 2) Choosing the Right People once you are clear in what you want to accomplish it will be substantially easier to find the right people. Consider this a full time recruiting process to begin with. Start with your dream list of advisors. Perhaps you want to launch a new junk removal service, wouldnt it be great to have the CEO of 1-800 Got junk? start there. determine the areas of expertise that you need to recruit. Big names can be a bonus but not always. Find people who are going to be able to give you the time you need. People who will be honest, open and free with their ideas, resources and connections. You will want problem solvers with diverse skills, expertise and experience. If you need help approaching people, email me and I will give you some direct assistance. Until next issue, items 3 & 4 Jude
Avoid Franchise Mistakes - I Came across these 7 tips for helping you avoid costly mistakes when buying a franchise & thought they would be helpful... It takes a lot of money to build a business, and you certainly don't want to waste any. Check this list of 7 costly mistakes to avoid. 1. Letting emotions rule. Falling in love with a franchise concept is a common mistake. Don't let your emotions guide your decisions. Use your head, do your due diligence and take the time to thoroughly investigate the franchisor's offering. 2. No professional team. Don't try to do your own financials, contract reviews, or negotiating. The cost of professional franchise attorneys, accountants, and advisors is money well spent. 3. Too little cash. Lack of capital is the number one reason franchisees fail. Item 7 in the UFOC will tell you how much money you'll need with a low and high range. Be smart-go with the high range. Then ask current franchisees if the numbers are high enough. 4. Penny wise and pound foolish. Choosing one franchise over another because the initial franchisee fees are lower is shortsighted. It assumes that all franchises are alike and nothing could be further from the truth. Choose the franchise with the proven concept and strongest track record. 5. Too much help. Payroll is the biggest part of overhead for most franchise businesses. New franchisees often hire too many people or pay too much in wages. A good franchisor will provide a good staffing plan. Stick to the plan. 6. No comparison. Never buy expensive equipment, supplies or inventory without shopping around first. Even if your franchisor offers group purchasing, do your own research, shop as many vendors as you can, consider aftermarket suppliers, and weigh different financing options (loans or leases). 7. Marketing blunders. As a new business owner, you're going to be targeted by every ad salesperson around. Ignore them. Follow your franchisor's marketing plan to the letter to avoid wasting thousands.
