Today’s Daily Affirmation: I am willing to devote time and energy toward my goals.  They are a priority in my life.

Daily Affirmation: Remember – Dreaming is a form of planning! 🙂

Today’s Affirmation: I love Me!

It isn’t every day that I have the opportunity to tell you about a friend

Sonia Ricotti is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and I have been lucky enough to travel with her several times.

She is funny, incredibly smart and authentic.

If you are going through challenges that life has thrown at you she will teach you once and for all how to quickly and easily bounce back bigger and brighter than ever before.

She brought me to tears…

As I sat in front of the fire last night thinking about all of the good that happened in my life in 2014 I began to focus on the challenges.

Work was getting tougher including a pay cut….

Kids were growing up too fast and they aren’t babies anymore…

My body is beginning to show signs of age as I am not as mobile as I once was…

There are a lot of negative people who I pushed out of my life last year…

Then a video popped up on my phone from a pop singer named Taylor Swift.  If you can spare 5 minutes out of your day I ask that you watch it.

Taylor Swift is responsible for bringing tears to my eyes.  She might just do the same to you.

Here is to an amazing 2015.

Love, Michael

Do you know what the majority of the world’s most successful
people have in common?

Well, besides being wealthy and sometimes famous, many of them
actually use affirmations and visualization to bring their dreams and
goals to reality!

One really good example is the story of Jim Carrey. Jim used to go
up every night to Mulholland Drive and sit on top of his car, look
out at the city, stretch out his arms and say: “Everybody wants to
work with me. I’m a really good actor. I have all kinds of great
movie offers.”

He would repeat these affirmations over and over until he convinced
himself that he had a couple of movies lined up. But he didn’t stop
there, he also wrote a check to himself for 10 million dollars, kept it
in his wallet and then 6 months later he got this amount as a payment
for his work on ‘Dumb and Dumber’! Not bad, huh?

As you can see, affirmations are extremely powerful and the reason
is because they directly affect our conscious and subconscious mind.
And by consistently repeating them with conviction and passion, they
reprogram our thoughts allowing us to not only change our state of
mind, but to also materialize our dreams and goals regardless of how
big or crazy they may seem.

So if you’d like to follow the footsteps of some of the most successful
people in the world…

Then follow these 5 simple tips to create powerful affirmations, and
start manifesting your dreams right away!

1. Start with the words, “I Am…” These two words are extremely
powerful as your brain knows that you’re referring to yourself. Starting
your affirmations with these two words will give your subconscious
mind clarity and belief that whatever comes after them, IS your reality.

2. Write in the present tense. When you say affirmations in present
tense, you’re reassuring yourself that you believe whatever is in your
affirmation, is factual and real right now.

Your mind can’t tell the difference between past or future, fake or real,
this is why when you imagine yourself drinking lemon juice, you start
producing saliva. Also, when your words are in the present tense, your
mind can visualize the image at the same time.

3. Keep it positive. Avoid words with negative connotations like ‘not
to’, ‘don’t, ‘can’t’, ‘fear’, etc. Our minds focus more on these words
instead of avoiding them. For example, if I asked you NOT TO think
about a blue elephant, your mind will picture a blue elephant even though
I asked you not to think about it. Instead of saying ‘I am able to get rid
of stage fright’, say ‘I am enjoying the excitement of speaking on stage’.

4. Make it short and clear. Remember that the main purpose of an
affirmation is for you to be able to picture it and ingrain it into your mind.
So when creating an affirmation, make it direct and specific.

5. Make it exciting. When creating affirmations, you want to create
positive, self-affirming, self-empowering statements that uplift and inspire
you. So make sure you add fun and exciting words like, ‘I am
ENJOYING making $100,000 a year.’

Repeat your affirmations as many times a day as you can, even when you
may feel you don’t need to. Remember that consistency is key if you really
want to make a positive and lasting change in your life.

Now that you know one of the greatest secrets for creating wealth and
success in your life, I want to share with you something that personally
helped me achieve the financial success that I had always desired – which
was figuring out (and removing) any mental traps that were lingering in
my mind!

The Art of Influencing and Empowering Others

If you really want to affect a change – big or small, in your own life or in the life of another – it is essential to master the art of influence and empowerment.

So, how do you do this?

It begins with the act of listening. The single most important gift we can offer anyone is the gift of being heard; listening is the cornerstone of every relationship.

Most of us have a running dialog and a perpetual stream of fleeting thoughts running through our heads that prevents us from really listening. Influencing another requires us to compartmentalize our own internal chatter in order to receive the communication of the person who is speaking.

Receiving the communication of another person is more than simply registering their words. It’s listening for the nuances that reveal the emotions behind those words. Often the things people don’t say is more significant than the things they do. If we are preoccupied with our own thoughts or have formed a foregone conclusion about what someone else is saying, we miss these subtleties completely.

Two important things occur when we listen to another without distractions, preconceptions or judgments.

1) We forge an intimate connection that goes directly to the intention behind the words being spoken; and

2) We open up a space for others to imagine new possibilities and conceive a new vision for their lives.

Creating a vision is the first – and most important – step we can take toward fulfilling it. The next step is generating the certainty within ourselves that we have what it takes to turn that vision into reality.

Through the Quantum Success Coaching Academy, which I founded in 2008, I have taught women and men all over the world to understand and apply the universal principles that govern the process of manifesting the visions they hold for their own lives – and how to facilitate this process for their clients. QSCA coaches have mastered the art of influence and empowerment. They know that influencing others is not about employing a specific technique (although the yearlong program teaches them plenty). They are naturally influential because every one of them has broken through limiting beliefs – whether in the area of their finances, their relationships, their physical wellbeing, or their careers – and are living a more deliberate, inspired life then they previously thought possible.

The Quantum Success Coaching Academy teaches a proven process for achieving extraordinary results for both you and your clients.

Thousands of people around the world are using the universal principles I teach in my coaching program to transform their lives, the lives of others, and earning a six figure income while doing so? Click here to find out how you can too.
