Ultimate Success Program
Looking for Ultimate Success? Click here
*****************************
I'd like to let you know about something I've been up
to over the last year, and it's open to only a few more
people who are positive and success-minded.
Here's what others who are already in the program
have to say:
The neatest thing is that I am starting to think differently.
I am seeing and recognizing the failure attitudes and actions
that up to now I was engaging in unconsciously. I guess I
unknowingly trained myself to turn a blind eye to these
attitudes and actions so I didn't have to take responsibility
for my own success.
The thing that has really made the difference for me with the
USP is that instead of reading a book and skipping the
exercises, I am actually writing out the answers to the
questions and taking the time to think about how to put what
I am learning into action.
Thanks Mark. This is really starting to pay off.
- - -
I am more self confident, more successful, with a can do
attitude an I do not let the negativity of others bring me
down. I start everyday with positive reinforcement and focus
on the good things in my life. I have developed more of an
attitude of gratitude and am less selfish and more giving.
I have become more focused and more self motivated to
complete all tasks that need to be accomplished in my work.
- - -
I don't procrastinate as much and I am less fearful of
failing. I am moving forward and less fearful of trying new
things.
- - -
I have always lived with the sense that I wasn't there on
the day the manual of how things work was handed out to
those around me. I have now discovered that part of this
lies in several holes in my thinking which neither my
parents nor my schools were able to teach to me. My current
experiences thus far did not help me to understand either.
By becoming aware of these holes through the USP program,
I am more able to:
* see opportunity and assess whether it fits with my big
reason why.
* be more relaxed around people, as I am more in control
of my own thoughts.
* work more organized meaning I get more done with the
same hours as everyone else.
* become more focused & concentrated mentally, allowing me
to better workshop ideas and concepts inside my head
before capturing them on paper.
* I've become strangely more excited about life in general.
* I have become more choosy with how I spend my time.

You can read all about the program and read even more
comments from others who are already involved here:
Looking forward to having you join us!
To your Ultimate Success!!!

Perceptions
Vacuous blonde
Brittle brunette
Too often we let our perceptions
of what we think people are
interfere with their reality.
We are influenced by the movie industry
who portray women in such roles
and we believe them to be true,
so much so that we sometimes
cannot believe in,
An intelligent blonde
A soft brunette,
A calm readhead.
How many other opportunities do we miss?
How many times do we dismiss people
because of their outer appearance.
Fearing them,
Distrusting them,
Demeaning them,
without giving them a chance
to show who they really are,
the person inside the outer shell.
The dreamer
The poet
The artist
The singer
The writer
The caring soul.
Perhaps it’s time to open our eyes
and hearts
and minds
and really look at those around us.
To reach out to them,
to gain new ideas
to learn about others,
and share something of ourselves,
instead of dismissing them so lightly.
Let’s start today with an open mind
and a smile for a stranger
who might someday
become a friend
to you or someone else
Because of that smile.
Have a wonderful year!!

What Do You Want To Attract?
Whether wanted or unwanted.
That with synchronicity, we attract from the outside what we resonate with, on the inside, bringing into our life what we momentarily strongly focus upon.
In other words, that by having an optimistic attitude and focusing on success, one attracts these, while having a cynical depressed attitude attracts negative experiences.
During my introduction to the Law of Attraction, I needed to make a shift to the positive; I’d surely had enough negative experience to last a lifetime. Before to long my life carried on staying the same, bills, debt, more bills, more debt, you get the picture. What was happening?
Understanding the Law of Attraction principles was not a problem, I focused on the positive, and all I was getting was the same old deal.
So watching The Secret DVD for the umpteenth, I started to get the message, I needed faith, I needed to believe and be grateful and this elusive Law of Attraction would kick in.
Great, I had the answer, say thank you to everyone and all would be OK!
The postman got a thank you for not bringing a bill, the trolley boy at the supermarket got one for leaving a trolley out for me, so did the checkout girl because there was no queue.
I thanked the ATM machine, the bank manager, the kid on the bike, my computer, the cooker, heck I must be the most grateful person on the planet, this Law of Attraction ain’t going turn me down.
After a few days of this everything started to go wrong, you guessed it, the postman brought a bill, the trolley boy left no trolley, the checkout girl left a queue, even the ATM stopped giving me money.
What’s going wrong?
Back on went the film The Secret,
What was I missing?
Then those words rang out at me again, in understanding the Law of Attraction process you needed Faith and Belief.
But how could I Believe? This stuff hadn’t worked up to now, so how could I believe? Tell me how it works and then I’ll Believe,
Don’t worry about How The Law of Attraction works, the film The Secret tells us. “You don’t need to know, you don’t know how electricity works, but you still use it”
But that’s not fair! With electricity, I don’t need faith, I plug the kettle in and get a steaming cup of coffee, whether I believe it or not.
So the question is, if I focus on the fact that I have little money, bad health, or a poor relationship, how and why does the Law of Attraction respond by giving me more of what I’m focusing on?
And if I shift my focus to the positive how do my desires come true?
And this is the great secret of the secret, in understanding The Law of Attraction and knowing how it works, you’ll start to trust it.
Trust it and you’ll start to believe it. Believe it, and it will start to respond and only then can you start to refine, mold, and create your desired reality.

Comfort Zones
A comfort zone denotes the limited set of behaviors and environments that a person can engage in without becoming anxious.
The Comfort Zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustom too. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.
Most of us love the familiar. Whether we realize it or not, we put a lot of work into ensuring that certain things in our lives remain constant. This personal “comfort zone” is the invisible, but very real area that defines the boundaries of what we know and understand. By staying within this comfort zone we reassure ourselves that we are safe. And as long as we are safely held within the walls of what we know we feel secure and confident.
As we move closer to the edges of that zone we begin to feel a bit shaky and unsure of ourselves. But those edges are where we grow. And by stretching those boundaries we increase our ability to receive.
T. Harv Eker, the author of The Secrets of The Millionaire Mind has said that our comfort zone equals our money zone. In order to have more money in our lives we must expand our comfort zone.
I would add that our comfort zone equals our joy zone, our love zone, our fulfillment zone, our spiritual connection zone, you name it.
So if you want more of anything in your life, the place to start is with your comfort zone. By expanding your comfort zone you will get more of what you want. It’s that simple.
Now it sounds easy enough, but most of us have built up some pretty sturdy walls around our comfort zone. Pushing them out or breaking them down requires conscious, concerted effort. And I have found that it’s easier to expand the comfort zone in small, steady, steps than in great big leaps. But in order to do that, you need to intentionally take expansive action on a daily basis.
So to get you started, I’ve created a list of 50 actions that might expand your comfort zone.
Keep in mind that the parameters of everyone’s comfort zone are different. So if you already love to Scuba dive, number 30 on this list isn’t going to expand your comfort zone very much! But there are most likely other items on this list that will work for you.
Also realize that many of these can, and may need to be, turned around to work for you. For example, number 6 is “Be the first to say, “I love you.” But if you’re the one that always says I love you first, you’ll need to turn it around to “Let the other person say ‘I love you’ first.” For some of you that’s going to be quite uncomfortable, especially when the other person doesn’t say “I love you!”
This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list. It can’t be. Instead, it’s a catalyst and a reminder for you to take small steps each and every day that expand your comfort zone.
Here’s the list:
1. Try some new food.
2. Go on a silent retreat.
3. Ask for a raise.
4. Smile at strangers.
5. Say hello to people in the grocery store.
6. Be the first to say “I love you.”
7. Perform at an open mike night.
8. Eat at a local restaurant by yourself.
9. Take a day off from work to volunteer at your child’s school.
10. Go back to school.
11. Start a new business.
12. Moonlight as a waitperson.
13. Unplug the TV for a week.
14. Write in a journal every day.
15. Learn to surf.
16. Go to a different church/temple/mosque each week.
17. Get your news from different sources.
18. Live in another country.
19. Do a house-swap for a month.
20. Use public transportation.
21. Wear an outrageous outfit.
22. Meditate for 15-minutes a day.
23. Put your cell phone in a drawer for a full week.
24. Make a fool of yourself – on purpose.
25. Call someone you admire in your community and ask them out for lunch.
26. Ask someone you admire to be your mentor.
27. Switch sides (of the bed) with your partner.
28. Confront a phobia.
29. Jump out of a plane (with a parachute please!).
30. Learn to scuba dive.
31. Say I love you to your parents/children/siblings/friends.
32. Admit you were wrong.
33. Go to a movie by yourself.
34. Take responsibility for something you didn’t do.
35. Give away all one-month’s income.
36. Give a public talk on a topic you’re passionate about.
37. Join a networking group.
38. Disconnect the Internet for a week.
39. Ask for help.
40. Get a part time job as a checker at your local grocery store.
41. Enter an art show.
42. Forgive someone.
43. Join Toastmasters.
44. Start a blog.
45. Ask for a partial or complete telecommute arrangement at work.
46. Take lessons in something you’ve always wanted to try (art, music, woodworking, dancing, etc.).
47. Learn a foreign language.
48. Read a book in a genre you don’t usually read.
49. Delegate more of your work.
50. Get up an hour earlier than usual.
51. Try a therapy or modality that seems a bit “out there.”
Which of these have the most potential for expanding your comfort zone? Which ones made you gulp or start to sweat a bit?
Which actions did I leave off this list that, for you, are particularly effective at expanding your comfort zone?
Leave a comment below and share some of yours.
Take a chance, step outside of your comfort zone every now and then and see what happens. If public speaking is outside your zone, Check out #43 on the list - attend a Toastmasters meeting just to see what it is all about. You won't be required to give a speech, you can just listen.

The Secret Masters
But none of these hard-core Secret fans seem to know that some of the most vitally important... crucial knowledge... has been kept from them... actually stripped from the movie!
This information has unlocked the doors to manifesting riches, cars, houses, food and financial freedom for those few individuals who know the real secret... want to know what it is?... I'll give you a hint:
http://www.mastersofthesecret.com/?join=10795
You'll only find out from the web site above.
Why?... Because some of the exact same teachers of The Secret (from the movie) are together once again, this time in a project that exposes the lies, deceit and deception about metaphysics, spirituality and manifestation that seem to rule the world of the mainstream audience.
No wonder there are so many skeptics of The Secret... they clearly see the holes that were never filled in the movie's lush "new age" philosophy... until now!
Click Here and See This Now:

Sincerely,
Fran
PS. I'll warn you... this isn't for everyone. Some folks will be offended, others may cry... but all will know the REAL Secret that you were never supposed to hear!
