Do you want the key to financial success?

Quit trading time for money.  All of my financially independent clients have one thing in common, they have systems in place that earn income, even when they are not spending time on generating that income.  For some it is owning a business that they do not work in, some have rental properties and for others, it is internet sales of their products.  The bottom line is their financial freedom came from passive income streams.

All successful coaches, speakers and authors know that product creation is the key to help spread their message and…(wait for it)…financial independence. 

So as I have been making plans toward product creation I was directed toward a course, Total Product Blueprint.  Total Product Blueprint is from Brendon Burchard (Life’s Golden Ticket, Expert Academy, The Millionaire Messenger).  No one in the industry has had the growth curve and broad success across multiple niches and programs as Brendon.  He has a lot of perspective to share and his new course teaches you TACTICALLY how to CREATE information products and programs, AND how to MARKET them strategically and effectively to generate recurring revenue while building an enduring expert/guru brand.

He started with 3 free videos that were chalked full of content. His course provides sample outlines, scripts, examples, and marketing emails and sample web pages.  It seemed like a great investment for someone like me – someone ready to create a passive income from products that help spread my message.

As always, when I learn something great, I share it.  I wanted to share this opportunity with you.  So here it is.  Total Product Blueprint .  Now this links to my affiliate site, but here is the great thing, if you decide that this program is a good fit for you, and you are ready to create a passive income, AND you buy through my affiliate link, I am giving you, my loyal reader, 3 free months of customized coaching.

You know that I am focused on implementation.  There is so much information out there, but I am more interested in programs that help me to implement that information to help me and my clients reach their goals.  Are you ready to invest in a program that will help you implement a system of product creation?  Me too.  That is why I have bought Brendon’s program.  I want to help you with the accountability part.  I am throwing in 3 months of my basic coaching package ($750 value).  On top of that Brendon is giving you 12 months access and his own coaching.  We are both committed to your success!

So if you decide to join me on this awesome adventure, let’s make some money together!

When I was a kid I was exposed to the following story by Loren Eiseley.  I remember it as a lesson in the importance of character.  I also remember learning the value of doing what is right, not because someone is watching or to be recognized, but rather to do what is right because it is the right thing to do.

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.

He came closer still and called out “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”

The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”

“I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” asked the somewhat startled wise man.

To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, “It made a difference for that one.”

As we get older our focus becomes more global and we forget the power of helping one.  We forget the impact small actions can have on another.

My challenge to you is take pride in the small actions of your life.  When you think it doesn’t matter, change your approach.  Act like it is the only thing in the world that DOES matter.  This week, practice random acts of kindness, or Doing Small Things
with Great Love.

“We cannot all do great things,
but we can do small things
with great love.”
- Mother Theresa

Much of my focus lately has been teaching myself to be grateful. Gratitude is a never-ending lesson. There is so much to appreciate around us, yet it seems to get lost in the desires of something new. Autumn is a wonderful time to work on this lesson. The air is crisper, the world is full of color, the trees are full of their fruitful bounty, and of course there is football. But fall offers us a great perspective on the lesson of gratitude, because fall doesn’t last very long, and very frequently it is gone before we take the time to truly appreciate it.

Take the time today to soak in the glory that is your world around you. Excite your senses by seeking out and noticing the many stimuli around. Stop and smell your world. Do you remember what crushed dried leaves smell like? What does that remind you of? Have you listened to the cooler nights? Or observed the wind conducting its symphony with the trees and leaves? Have you appreciated the brisk morning air as it fills your lungs? When was the last time you laid down in the grass, listened to the sounds around you and watched the clouds?

My son still reminds me to take pleasure in the little things. Often on a hurried morning as I try to get him off to school (his daycare) he sees the sun and says “good morning sun. Boy you are awfully bright this morning. Thanks for being warm and bright.” It stops me cold and makes me grateful for the lessons he has learned and now teaches me. It makes me slow down and seek the many blessings I was missing.

The other morning it wasn’t Jackson that gave me my reminder it was the boy across the street. He said “hi”. Actually he said “hi” about 4 times until I stopped what I was doing and acknowledged him. Then he said very matter-of-factly, “clouds”. I replied, “yeah look, clouds” and I went on to get into my car. He then yelled and pointed, “clouds!” I paused for a minute and looked up. I saw clouds. I was preoccupied with getting in my car. I was thinking about the order I was going to run my errands. After I got Jackson buckled in his seat, I looked over at the boy. He was fixated on the sky. I took a minute and looked to the sky with him. They weren’t just clouds, they were beautiful. There were 3 different types of clouds. There were birds flying with the clouds as a backdrop. As I took 20 seconds to soak up what was so captivating to this boy, I again received my reminder to see the blessings around. Then I knew I had done it right, because the boy across the street began yelling and clapping his hands, “Clouds! Clouds!” He looked over to me and smiled as he kept clapping.

In this day and age of constant contact and 24 hour media coverage, don’t lose sight of the small things. The smiles. The sound of nature. Watch a child. Watch their interest in the little things. Let it remind you to be grateful for all those little things. Look around and count your blessings. Take the time to say thank you for all those blessings.

“Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” -Robert Brault
