Have you ever gotten paid for telling your life story?

A few months ago I heard about a guy who was taking the world by storm. He came from nowhere and suddenly he was on Tony Robbins' stage and then sharing the stage with the Dalai Lama, all the while making millions through speeches, seminars, products, coaching, and memberships.

What's insane about his story is that 24 months ago he was in bankruptcy. Since then he's up $4 million by leveraging five little known "expert strategies".

Watch how he QUICKLY positioned, promoted and got paid like a "guru".

Anyone can take their life's story and their strategies for success and build a million-dollar empire—that's what Brendon Burchard believes and he's proven it himself.

Have you been paid yet for your story or how-to advice? In the video Brendon shows you 5 secrets for doing that.

- Tony Robbins thinks Brendon is "smarter than hell"

- Brian Tracy says Brendon is the "smartest, nicest, most creative marketers I've ever met".

- Paula Abdul says he's "captivating, present, magnetic and awesome".

- NY-Times best-seller Dr. Daniel Amen "wishes I would have met him 20 years ago...it would have put my business and myself as an expert in hyperspeed".

So just go to this site, watch Brendon's complimentary video, and ask him any questions you have on his blog. Brendon told me he's personally replying to as many posts as he can and creating more training videos answering the most common questions.

Forget "resolutions" and do this...

OK, so it's February and if you're like most people, guess what has happened to your well-intentioned New Year's resolutions?

They've disappeared into the dark valley of
 shame, regret, and discouragement.

Hey, I'm not any pinnacle of virtue either, that's for sure.

But I really do not like feeling like yet another statistic when it comes to making lasting and positive changes in life.

That's why when I previewed this, I immediately wanted to tell you all about it too, because this IS the answer!

Forget resolutions and do THIS instead!

The reality is, my colleague Natalie Ledwell (one of the creators of Mind Movies) has hit the nail on the head with this video.

Nat has worked closely with people who were involved with "The Secret". In fact, she has used the law of attraction to reach a number of really phenomenal achievements in life.

But she quickly realized that something extremely important was missing from the message of The Secret.

And it was causing a LOT of disappointment among those 
of us who want with all our hearts to attract our deepest desires into our lives—but can't seem to get there from here.

The difference between Natalie and "the rest of us" is that she set out on a mission to figure this out. And she did!

Simply by putting her philosophy to work and PROVING it to herself first.

And when she saw how incredibly reliably this works, she knew what she had to do: Make it available to anyone who wanted to fully access the incredible power of the law of attraction...so you can actually get RESULTS by implementing a few very easy-to-understand concepts.

It all starts with four steps you can take right now to get started.

And you know what? It makes so much sense, it is so easy to do, and it WORKS!

You'll see when you do it—things just seem to start falling into place to deliver your goals to you. But they key is actually DOING this...

Natalie shows you the way right here.

She clearly explains the four steps, and it's super easy to begin.

Actually, I'm still shocked that she's giving this away, but she is.

I watched this video twice, just to make sure I could jot 
down some notes on the steps—and I have to tell you, I was so excited to get started with it, I began immediately.

I'm already seeing and feeling the difference this 
makes. Once you do this, anything is possible for you if you just follow these four easy steps!

I'm totally stoked about this, and I think you will be 
too. Because once you see how effective this is for ANY goal you want to achieve, I believe you'll be applying this simple but powerful formula to accomplish ANYTHING.

So watch the video—and don't forget to leave your e-mail to get 3 other awesome gifts Natalie has for you. No funny business or small print—she just wants to get this into the hands of as many people as possible so you can 
realize your dreams too.

Oh and by the way, this takes all the struggle out of trying to keep your New Year's resolutions. It's a whole different way of going after what you want with one big difference...

It WORKS!

8 Master Steps Towards Becoming The Leader You Need To Be by Diego Ortiz

An important part of success in life is the ability to lead. It is important that we not only be able to lead others but be willing to lead ourselves. No one succeeds in life by simply following others. Sometimes we simply must strike a bold new path for ourselves.

Being a good leader is more than simply being at the forefront of the crowd. A leader must act. Too often in America, we simply accept that someone looks or sounds like a leader and too rarely do we actually look at the actions that leader performs—and that is the true test of leadership.

However, in order to become good leaders ourselves, we need to concentrate on actions rather than simple appearances. The title of this article refers to eight steps, but do not think of these as progressive steps like so many recipes or instruction manuals describe. Instead, think of these as actions that you must take on a regular basis.

First, be alert to new potentials. “Reality” is not absolute but rather subject to constant change. Think about inventors, explorers, and agents of social change who have achieved greatness. Some might simply say that certain people are successful because they are lucky to be in the right place at the right time. Maybe so, but if they hadn’t had their eyes open for the opportunity, then it wouldn’t have mattered if they were in the right place.

Second, accept inspiration from wherever it comes; even your opponents. The wisest leaders constantly study their competition. In war, politics, and business we constantly see examples of this research and reconnaissance. Too many times though a certain study, many concentrate on finding a weakness to exploit. If you want to a be a leader of positive change don’t fall victim to this trend. Instead, if you find a weakness, make sure to avoid that pitfall yourself. If you find the strength then find a way to strengthen your own qualities to match.

Third, learn something new and promote in new ways every day. This means you must continually seek to expand your horizons, internally and externally. Feed your mind with new lessons and knowledge, but constantly expand your social horizons as well. Seek out and meet new people and immerse yourself in new social situations. You never know when these new experiences will help you in your leadership role.

Fourth, search for and find answers in subtle clues. Look beneath the surface and constantly question. This is an extension of the third step in that you are seeking new knowledge. But this also means that you will need to step off the traditional paths of knowledge. Don’t simply read books in the literary canon or the bestsellers list. Take seminars rather than classes as there is more room for questioning and debate. Seek out the unconventional thinkers, teachers, and writers.

Fifth, improvise if no existing solutions are available. No excuses. Necessity is the mother of invention. How do you know it won’t work if you’ve never tried it before? Remember, not all approaches need to come from the front. Look at your problem from all sides and systematically attempt different solutions in various combinations.

Six, make at least one person you care about happy every day. If you make it a point to be thoughtful and caring for one person every day then soon this thoughtful, caring behavior will become a habit and that habit will spread to the others around you. Making someone else happy also feeds your own personal happiness. Just imagine how much better the world would be if we all did a little bit more to spread happiness.

Seven, offer help, even if there’s no apparent advantage to you. This means more than writing a check. It means giving of your time and energy and yourself. Sometimes it will mean helping someone you don’t know and sometimes it can be a very personal action.

Finally, never let negativity be your last word on the subject. If your final words are negative than no matter how hopeful you may be about the potential of a project or action the lasting impression you give to others is one of negativity. Accentuate the positive and you are more likely to see a positive outcome.

If you follow these eight action steps not only you will be a better leader but also lead yourself to a more successful life.

How Happiness Happens by Marshall Goldsmith

Most parents will tell you they just want their kids to grow up to be happy (even if they're nudging them toward the Ivy League). But how does an adult achieve a high level of contentment while living a frenetic and distraction-packed life? The two of us have just reviewed results from our new survey designed to elicit insights into short-term satisfaction (happiness) and long-term benefit (meaning)—both at work and away from it. Our respondents weren't randomly chosen. They're well-educated (more than 60% have graduate degrees) managers, entrepreneurs, and professionals (split almost evenly between the sexes), numbering over 3,000.

Our findings were in many cases unexpected but clear-cut. There is an incredibly high correlation between people's happiness and meaning at work and at home. In other words, those who experience happiness and meaning at work tend also to experience them outside of work. Those who are miserable on the job are usually miserable at home.

The implication is unmistakable. Since work and home are very different environments, our experience of happiness and meaning in life appears to have more to do with who we are than where we are. Rather than blaming our jobs, our managers, and our customers—or our friends, family members, and communities—for our negative worklife experience, we might be better served by looking in the mirror.

One commonly expressed excuse for not getting more happiness and meaning out of life is: "I'm working too many hours." But our results show that the number of hours worked had no significant correlation with happiness or meaning experienced at work or at home. So much for that excuse.

Part of our survey asked respondents to rate their overall satisfaction level at work. Again, our findings paint a clear picture. The amount of time respondents spent solely on stimulating activities (high short-term satisfaction but low long-term benefit) had no bearing on their satisfaction at work. The same was true of more purposeful activities (low short-term satisfaction but high long-term benefit). Overall satisfaction at work increased only if both the amount of happiness and meaning experienced by employees simultaneously increased. This indicates that professionals don't gain satisfaction at work either by being "martyrs" or by "just having fun". Companies may want to reduce communications designed to encourage employees to make sacrifices for the larger cause. They may also want to cut out "fun" morale-building events that lack a meaningful purpose.

We had (mistakenly) guessed that those who spent more time outside of work in activities that produced more short-term satisfaction might score higher on overall satisfaction. After all, we assumed, people don't go home to find meaning; they want to relax. We were wrong. The correlations between happiness, meaning, and overall satisfaction at work and home were very similar. Those who were more satisfied with life outside of work were the respondents who reported spending more time on activities that produced both happiness and meaning.

These links between how we spend our time and how we feel may seem confusing, but specific patterns arose—some commonsensical, some not. Here are a few quick takeaways from our initial research:

- Reduce TV watching. It's stimulating but doesn't increase overall satisfaction with life—at work or home.

- Cut back on surfing the Web for non-professional reasons. It's negatively correlated with the experience of both happiness and meaning.

- Do as few chores as you can (whatever that word means to you).

- Spend time exercising and with people you love (respondents who did this had more satisfaction with life at work and at home).

- Feeling challenged is linked to greater satisfaction, so challenge yourself.

What can companies do differently? They might stop asking, "What can the company do to increase employees' experience of happiness and meaning at work?" which encourages dependency. Instead, managers can encourage employees to ask themselves, "What can I do to increase my experience of happiness and meaning at work?" This strategy may produce a higher return in employee commitment—and do so at a lower cost.
