Feedback: An Amazing Miracle
We recently received a new comment (07/2009) that I wanted to share with you. Katie writes:
I can't even describe what an amazing miracle this course has been in my life. Everything has changed and I am a completely different person from when I started this journey in January.
In a nutshell...I went from a happy, but blah, letting-life-take-me-where-it-will-and-be-happy-with-it person, to a vigorous and excited, let-me-partner-with-God-in-creating-miracles person.
My husband is overwhelmingly excited to see this change in me and seriously awesome things are happening. I never would have imagined 8 months ago when I was sitting in my dingy apartment that I would be in a house on an amazing adventure with so many exciting dreams and achievable goals! The only downside is that it can sometimes get overwhelming how much there is to do right now. I know that I can use the laws to help me with that though also. This is just the next phase in my learning process! God is great.
PLEASE TAKE THIS COURSE, it will literally change your life. I tell everyone that I can about it. Thank you Leslie and Trevan!
Thank you, Katie for sharing this. I realize it isn't the right time for everyone to be doing FTMF right now, but if you've been thinking about it, remember that our ORIGINAL July sale is still underway for just a little longer.
I've been following Kevin Thompson and I'm so impressed. Thankfully, he's given me permission to share excerpts from one of his blog posts that hits the nail on the head: Kevin says,
Talk about having a job where you get paid for doing what you love. This lady and her husband get to spend their time traveling the country, doing what they love, and getting paid for it.
And just in case you’re thinking, “Oh, I could never do something like that”, I happen to know that up until 9 years ago, they had NEVER done this before.
In fact, the lady of the husband wife team had absolutely NO previous experience at this. But…
Once she was exposed to it, she LOVED it.
She was hooked.
And now, she and her husband have turned this passion into their life’s work.
Now, I’m not suggesting that you do what they do, but I AM suggesting that it’s high time you start getting paid for doing something you love.
Recently I shared a video with my readers and gave them yet another example of a local business owner in my area who’s doing some incredible things:
Funny thing is, every other business that was ever in this location has failed miserably.
Yet this guy is doing what none of them could accomplish. He’s running a booming business and making a huge profit.
So how can that be?
How can this guy’s business be doing so well, when everyone else who came before him did so poorly?
Well, there’s two reasons:
1. He loves doing what he does.
2. He understands the importance of good marketing.
Those who watched the video I shared, saw his incredible marketing in action. They saw him take a situation and leverage it to his benefit. They saw him packing in the people, and having fun in the process.
Most people get into business solely to make a buck. That’s their driving motivation.
Now don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with making money. Making money, and lots of it is a VERY good thing.
But… if that’s your sole driving motivation, you’re doomed to failure from the beginning. If you truly want to be successful in what you do, it’s critical that you LOVE what you’re doing.
For example:
There are plenty of people in the “how to make money on the internet” and “how to have an online business” niches, which are the niches people mistakenly think I’m in.
That being the case, I have plenty of competition.
And those who don’t take the time to read my emails, view my blog posts, participate on my training seminars and get to know me – mistakenly assume that I’m just like everyone else.
But, if you’re reading this right now, you know that’s not true at all.
You know that I’m COMPLETELY UNLIKE anyone else.
Far beyond having an online business, I show you how to have a business that pays you for doing what you love.
A business that allows you to have a positive impact on other people’s lives by providing them with something of true value.
A business that provides for, and fits into the lifestyle you really want to live.
That’s what separates me from all of my competition. That’s what attracts people to me. That’s why people refer their friends and family to me.
(Leslie: And why I'm referring my readers to him!)
Isn’t it about time you start getting paid for doing something you love?
Because I’ve got to be honest here, life is FAR too short to waste time (and go broke) doing something you hate.
Dedicated to your success,
Kevin Thompson “The Automatic Income Coach”
Kevin knows what he's talking about. Join us August 4th at 5 pm Pacific on the phone when I'll be bringing him in to talk to you more about all this. You won't want to miss this one... get all the details at:
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape
In this economy, if you don't want to break, you've got to be flexible. Maybe your expected path to cash hasn't panned out. Maybe all you've worked for has evaporated and you don't know where to go from here.
To be flexible means to be open minded, to be teachable, to be able to bend into a form that may be unfamiliar, uncomfortable, awkward.
But when the alternative is snapping in half, it's better to bend.
If you're ready to look at how you might be able to thrive in a new environment, join us for a training on the New Rules Thursday, August 6, 2009 at 6 pm Pacific.

Life is full of ups and downs, no matter how good you get at living the principles of success. You can be assured that everyone, everywhere will have plenty of opportunity throughout their life to experiment with different ways to deal with the inevitable and occasional pain.
Sometimes the pain is occasional, sometimes it seems pretty relentless. Sometimes it's physical pain, sometimes it's emotional pain, or some other kind of pain that gets our attention and causes us to start asking new questions that have never perhaps crossed our minds before.
One thing that most people don't seem to realize, however, (and this is something my good friend Garrett Gunderson taught me), is that while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
Let me say that again: Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.
What does that mean? That means that it doesn't matter what happens to you, it's your choice what to do from there. So the pain is there. It deserves to be acknowledged, but does not deserve to rule you. You are the captain of your soul, and don't you forget it.
How do you take charge and steer your life in spite of the pain? Though it's possible, it's rarely accomplished through a grand and sweeping immediate transformation. It's accomplished in the moment - that one small, quiet moment when you choose to find the good that can be derived from the hardship.
The good always exists, and the more difficult the problem, the more glorious the potential victory. It's accomplished one quiet moment at a time. The toughest work is internal, but conquer it there, and your external circumstances will ultimately be a reflection of that personal victory that took place in your mind.
Stop looking for the external world to change before you feel differently inside. That's a sure formula for endless suffering.
The only thing you can truly control is your thoughts. Your thoughts determine your feelings, and your feelings emit vibrations that resonate with external factors. God's Universe responds to those emissions, and your awareness becomes heightened to the ideas, resources, and people who will support you in those feelings, whether they're progressive, or regressive... you'll be supported either way.
Wallow, and you'll be amply supplied with ideas, resources, and people perfectly suited to enable to you keep wallowing (or to even supply you with more reasons TO wallow!)
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, find gratitude for SOMEthing to change your vibrational emission, and you will be supplied with the ideas, resources, and people perfectly suited for helping you rise above the problem.
Remember, pain is inevitable but suffering is optional. Suffering is wallowing. Wallowing prolongs the suffering.
When we allow ourselves to wallow too long, inspired ideas are smothered away and cannot be discerned.
I'm not going to tell you that you can't ever wallow at all - for heaven's sake, I still have my turn once in a while and I'd be ticked at anyone who denied me the right to go there now and then. But I also know that there comes that point when it serves no more good purpose, and that's the time to move through it and look for the ladder out of the pit.
The ladder's always there, but until we're ready to find it, and until we have determined plans to use it when it appears, it remains unavailable.
Are you ready to climb out? Is your pit of a financial nature? Are you looking for something you can do that will be more portable, more profitable, and more reliable than what you're doing now?
Join me August 4, 2009 when I bring in Kevin Thompson (the happy guy on the phone I mentioned a few weeks ago) to talk about developing automatic income.
How do you do it? Where do you begin?
He used to work a very dangerous job, and on the day he came too close to death for comfort, he decided he had to find another way. He'll share his story with you in a free tele-seminar, so register to get the dial-in details at:
Have you ever looked at a word for a long time, and the longer you look at it, the stranger it looks? I remember that happened to me once with the word "CAT".
Well it just happened to me again with the title of this blog post. FTMF HALF OFF, FTMF HALF OFF... seriously, what an odd collection of letters.
Anyway, back to my original point for posting ... forgive me for the tangent... it's after 1:00 am and I'm beginning to feel a little punchy.

I'm doing something very special starting right now, for one week, in honor and celebration of the amazing, deeply heartfelt support and life-changing stories we receive every day from people just like you who have experienced our Family Time & Money Freedom (FTMF) programs, the Jackrabbit Factor, and our variety of other resources.

Last week the phone rang, and my 14 year-old son picked it up. I heard him say, "Hello? ...Uh, yeah, just a minute." Then he turned to me with a quirky look on his face and said, "A really HAPPY Kevin is on the phone for you."
After I hung up the phone, my son had to know: "Mom, why was he SO happy??"
I just smiled... because it was no reason in particular except that this guy spends his days helping people create automatic, portable incomes. He makes a difference in people's lives and has everything to be happy about.
In the past, he used to put his life on the line for a living, literally. (You should hear those stories!) but now his work is safe, flexible, lucrative, and extremely fulfilling.
The bottom line is, he loves what he does.
His happiness is contagious, too. I saw what his cheerful, energetic demeanor over the phone (for just 5 seconds) did for my son.
How do you answer your phone? Are people glad to be around you because you leave them feeling happier than before?
Think on that for today... and put a smile on someone's face by the way you speak to them.
Anyway, stay tuned... I'll be introducing you to Kevin in a couple weeks and you'll see what I mean. In a free telecall, he'll give you some tips on how to create an automatic income doing something you love, too.
(P.S. The image above is not Kevin, but captures the feeling of the moment so I just had to include it!)

Do you ever feel overloaded with too many options, too much information, too many people telling you what to do to succeed?
You're not alone. Here's an email I received, and my reply on the matter. Linda said:
I don’t know if you will actually answer this, but I am getting frustrated because I am getting INUNDATED with various “I have the secret YOU need to be successful in life” emails / offers / programs / gimmes!
I certainly can’t do them all simultaneously, and while they may all be worthwhile, it seems to me there is a lot of redundancy. I am STILL trying to work my way through your FTMF materials, and I don’t know that I need to get something ELSE while I still have not finished what I HAVE!
Mind Movies, the PerfectBizFinder, Franklin Covey Training, The Masters Gathering, etc., etc. I feel like I am spinning my wheels with a “Lo here” and a “Lo there” ... like the poor guy trying to catch the rabbit in the same way the fox / wolf / whatever did! Any words of wisdom you could share would be appreciated. Thanks! Linda
My response to Linda (with a few more little notes):
Breathe, Linda, breathe. :)
There’s a lot of noise out there, and you can trust that the RIGHT next step will be there when you’re ready for IT. Just because it's good, it doesn't mean you have to jump on it immediately. It will be there again when you're ready for it, if it really is the right thing for you to do.
I don’t open all my soliciting emails. I only open them if I’m currently seeking an answer to a burning question, and only if the email that shows up seems like it might have the answer to THAT question.
I get overloaded if I look at all of them. Sometimes I have to say, “I just don’t have the mental bandwidth to wrap my brain around ANYthing else right now” - and then I go forward - at peace taking things at my own pace, knowing that I do not have to run faster than I have mental, emotional, or physical strength.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears. If too many teachers appear, get clear on your overall objective. Once that is back in focus, the right ones will be obvious - you'll know it in your gut - and the wrong ones in that moment will no longer have a magnetic pull on you.
Recently as I was playing with my kids, my sweet little two year-old stepped on my hair.
The instant I felt the pain, I pulled away to get out from under her little feet. It was my instantaneous reaction, albeit not very smart.
Lesson learned:
When someone steps on your hair, don't pull away. Lean in, and gingerly remove them from off your hair before pulling away.
I know, I know... it's not an experience that most of the people in the world will ever have, but it reminded me of a principle worth mentioning.
When you have pain in your life, financial or otherwise, just don't panic. Panic can lead to instinctive reaction, and instinctive reaction can often result in more pain overall than is necessary.
Subconscious programs kick in when you're in "fight or flight" (panicked) mode.
The key is to lean into the source of your pain, address it without panic or negative emotion, and handle it with a cool head. You'll be able to solve your problem and avoid unnecessary suffering.
If the problem is that you're short on money, don't retreat from your problems, lean in. Go to the person you owe money to, and talk to them about it with a cool head and with the intention of finding a workable solution. If you just pull away, hoping the problem will go away if you just retreat quickly enough, remember the lesson I learned from the two year-old who stepped on my hair.
Watch this short clip from my friend Garrett B. Gunderson:
Garrett is my co-author (for the upcoming sequel of The Jackrabbit Factor) and is the New York Times best-selling author of Killing Sacred Cows, and has taken everything I've ever known about success to the next level.
It's an honor to work with him, and I've learned and grown a LOT during the time we've been collaborating. I'm excited for you to get to know him better.
With a background as a financial advisor, and with tremendous experience with, and a solid understanding of the laws of success, Garrett is uniquely qualified to give a real-world perspective on how to prosper with real money, even in today's economy.
Do you have a burning question about money, finances, prosperity, or just how to navigate the economic uncertainty the world faces today?
"After nearly a decade of searching, I disovered that prosperity comes in direct correlation to personal development. This is one reason I've
been a self-help junkie... because I've seen what self-help products and programs have done for me. It is of my humble opinion that you can expect
to make money and create wealth to greater and greater degrees as you allow yourself to learn, grow, and change as a person.
"As you learn about the law of attraction
and its seven sub-laws, your ability to make money by appling them will depend on your willingness to also submit to personal development. The law of attraction is,
and always has been available for our use, just as the law of aerodynamics was available since the beginning of time. However, just because the law
always existed, it didn't mean we flew. We had to discover and apply the law, just as now we must learn the
laws of success, and put them to use. If we do, the
results can be as predictable and dependable as the law of aerodynamics."
