My simple guide to creating an Extraordinary Life
It is easy to get stuck in
routines, in jobs we don’t like and to focus on all those things that
don’t work they way we would like them to. It is easy to hide in our
comfort zones, close the doors and pull the curtains. But there is also
another way to engage with life, a way that is a lot more satisfying in
the long run. Here a few simple tips to help you create a more
extraordinary life.
1. First and most importantly,
if you don’t love what you do in life or business, change how you do it, or
develop a plan to get out completely. There’s almost no chance that you
can have an extraordinary life if you hate what you do, who you do it
for or who you do it with.
2. Lose all friends who are
energy-sucking, negative, manipulative or self-absorbed and spend more
of your time with positive, intelligent people of good will.
3. Commit to never lying
intentionally.
4. Always consider first the
result you want to create and then start mapping out the steps of how to
get there – and keep in mind that Imagination is more important then
knowledge.
5. Establish some routines that
help you relax - Listen to your favorite music, treat yourself to a
massage, invite friends for coffee and cakes, plan a candle light
dinner, arrange mini breaks for yourself and your loved ones (a week end
trip, a show, a movie, a bowling night….)
6. Give… volunteer… practice
random acts of kindness. Get involved in projects you feel strongly
about… or just open a door for someone.
7. Read books and watch movies
that inspire you.
8. Say ‘thank you’ out loud for
at least 3 things every day.
9. ____ Add your own
idea for creating a more extraordinary life
Simple, do-able thoughts on how to create a more extraordinary
life, whatever your budget might be. What will you do, starting this
week to become more awake, open the doors and draw back the curtains?
With my best wishes for
your success,

The Second Life Platform
- Greetings! I'm not sure how many of you have heard of or are sensitive to Second Life and its related entities. However, Second Life is a fantastic platform to mimmick real life business operations in a real currency based economy. There are plenty of successful stories for creative individuals, but I'd highly suggest doing your research and appreciating Second Life for what it is, and what it isn't.

Hi JBunion,
I've heard about the site. So are you currently a member? And more importantly, have you tried to open a store front in that virtual world?
Re: Charge what you're worth
- [quote="Tami Szabo":292ze3jd]People will pay you what you ask. Very few will ever up the price. You are the one who decided what you are worth. The key is that we believe our services are worth the price we are asking.[/quote:292ze3jd]
Hi Tami,
You're absolutely right. In "Think and Grow Rich", Jessie B. Rittenhouse says "For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menial's hire Only to learn, dismayed , That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid" (Napoleon Hill 35).
I think the same can be said when setting prices on eBay or Craigslist, especially when people are trying to haggle you.
