THE ONE KEY TO ALLOWING ABUNDANCE

I was an anxious, scared of the world child. This negative, fear based mindset attracted everything I did not desire which included incurable diseases, a box full of medicine and a cane.

I was unaware of the Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction states that like energy attracts like energy. Or as Buddha stated – “What you think, you become.”

For myself, I can clearly see that I was on Autopilot going through life, allowing the subconscious mind to take over 99% of my actions. The subconscious mind learns how to walk, feed ourselves, and even develops conditioned responses to the way we respond to daily challenges. Most of the time I was not making conscious choices. The mind had a huge too do list that kept me chasing happiness. Ultimately, the mind seeks constant gratification – it desires to always be happy. Expect the happiness that the mind chases is conditional. And those conditions are constantly changing, making a state of happiness for most people difficult. Being happy was nearly impossible for me – I had a lot of pain and suffering.

When my subconscious brain was in full control, life was miserable. It gave me everything that I didn’t really want and yet I had no idea that my energy was only returning that same energy. I would have made life easier for myself, if I would have slowed down and allowed the conscious mind to make the choices. The subconscious mind works incredible fast, the conscious mind is very slow.

Try this experiment. Go grab a glass of water. Now without thought, take a drink. Now with thought, take a drink. Make your arm grab the glass, lift it up to your mouth, then open your mouth, then tilt the glass so you can receive the water, close your mouth, and then swallow. Those are basic steps, you could easily add a few hundred steps to this process.

Without interrupting the subconscious mind you will be forced into autopilot. When we are in autopilot then we are not in this moment, we have allowed the subconscious mind to take control. By slowing down, and becoming aware of our choices we take back control from the mind

A person in this exact moment is abundant and prosperity comes easily. Being present is simple yet difficult. Taking back control of the mind becomes difficult when the loud mind is in your face with a huge to-do list. One has to be willing to spend time in meditation or performing tasks mindfully. These practices become your keys to abundance.

I help guide people out of the mind, by creating a unique program that will undo their subconscious mental programs that are attracting everything they do not want. My signature service is “The Undo.” “The Undo” allows everyone to re-write the programs in their subconscious mind. It’s our choice when we want to stop the cops in our head.

Have you wondered how to trigger motivation and focus immediately and then keep it going? What about when you needed to write that article, clean the house or focus on reading something? Then there’s confidence, have you needed confidence to do a presentation, interview or talk to someone?

Numerous researches are proving that the key to triggering this quickly is through music.

Why?
Music has been shown to trigger memories, emotion and the most important dopamine in our brains which is responsible for motivation and focus. In addition, music releases endorphins in our brains, which is the feel good chemical, that is the same chemical released when we feel love, have sex, foods we crave and eat chocolate.

Listening to the right type of music is like rewarding our brains with something pleasurable, in fact, when our pleasure signals are lit up in our brains, we’re more able to stay focused and motivated at the task we’re doing. In the book “Drive”, by Danial H. Pink, he tells about a study that was done with monkeys in the 1940’s, the monkeys were given a puzzle to do and to the amazement of scientists, the monkeys stuck with doing the puzzle with complete focus and motivation, not because they were anticipating a reward, but because the act of doing the puzzle was triggering the pleasure center in their brain, causing them to stick to it.

Music stimulates pleasure.
Listening to music can do the same thing, while doing a boring task such as cleaning or reorganizing, because it’s rewarding our brains with pleasure, making us more able to stick to and complete the task we’re doing.

Music can give you a rush of unstoppable confidence.
A new study finds certain types of music, especially tunes with a heavy bass beat, such as 50 Cent's "In Da Club," Queen's "We Will Rock You" and 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready For This,” can make one feel more powerful. This sense of confidence and ability, the researchers add, can subsequently shape the way we think and behave.

Different music for different moods.
It’s important to take constant inventory of how a specific song affects your mood and mindset. Play around with lots of songs, artists and different genres knowing that all music is a powerful tool you can use to alter your perceptions at a neural level. Personally, when I’m writing and studying, I listen to mellow jazz or anything soothing with only music and no lyrics, when I want to clean the house, I listen to upbeat Broadway musicals that can trigger my emotions and when I want to feel powerful, my favs are Roar, Let It Go and Girl On Fire.

The Secret to Defining Your Lucrative Niche

THE SECRET TO DEFINING YOUR LUCRATIVE NICHE

Article by Ling Wong

Many people struggle to “figure out” their niche. Some are starting out, and some have been in business for a while but feel that “something is missing” in their message, target market and offerings.

“Plugging along” doesn’t mean progress. We have to reignite our FIRE to get out of “clone drone” existence.

To escape limbo and lit the FIRE for impactful actions, we need to determine our big WHY, WHO, WHAT and HOW – which will also conveniently translate into your niche.

Unfortunately, many people took some “niche” trainings packaged in a canned, “digestible” manner, with a disproportionate emphasis on “formula” and “research”.

They got “pushed” into a niche before they are ready to “claim it”, picking something from the “viable niche” menu only to realize it doesn’t resonate after spending months down the rabbit hole of building everything around this “made-believe” niche.

The emphasis on research and data has distracted you from the most important thing – YOU, the secret sauce in your business!

Data cannot synthesize and innovate without your creativity and individuality.

We stuff ourselves with “other people’s view points” at the expense of living our own beliefs, passion and conviction. All those templates, checklists, blueprints and formula are weighing us down.

The first step to nailing your WHY, WHO, WHAT and HOW is to question if an idea, belief, or concept is coming from deep within YOU, or something you were told that is “supposed to be?”

With that mindset, ask –

Why the heck did you go into business in the first place? (Be selfish here.)
What do you want your business to do FOR you?
What is your passion and conviction? What riles you up?
What are your superpowers?
How are you going to blend you desires, conviction, superpowers and personality altogether and express fully in your business?
What kind of clients really lights you up?
How does your conviction apply to these people? How can your superpowers serve them in a unique way?

When you get to the bottom of it and find YOU, you will also nail that CONVICTION that leads to COMMITMENT, fueling the GUMPTION to make it happen. It is not easy to get to the ultra-clarity, formulate it into an Identity, claim it and translate it into marketing communication that sells while expressing all of your individuality and personality.

It took me 12 months and 5-figure private coaching; I want to make it happen for you in 60 days, for less than a grand in this brand new Nail Your Message Private VIP Intensive.

You know you have some powerful programs that will change your client’s lives. Hey, you’re the next best kept secret in personal development. But no one knows your name – let’s go over some of the most effective ways you can change that today.

As a coach you probably have heard this, taught this and preached this first tip, yet, not matter how successful you get this daily practice is a must.

1. Believe you are the expert no matter what. Yup, that is it. You can keep studying “HOW” to do business forever. But magic happens when you can take a stand and make it non-negotiable that your programs and messages get to the masses. Choose to be the expert in your own life and business.

Debunk the big myth that it takes forever to gain visibility and fame in an industry. What it does take is:

2. Don’t wait for someone to discover your services, discover yourself. Then join a community, no one get’s known on their own. It is all about who knows you, join groups that are doing what you want to do and get yourself known. Hooking my clients up with opportunities to fuel their dreams within our community is one of the most rewarding parts of being a Risings Star coach.

Now let’s get into the visual of the whole thing. This piece I have been learning over the past year with myself and my businesses. Ask yourself this question:

3. Do you know your style? Your personal unique look, the one that lights you up and makes you feel fierce, powerful and sassy? If not it is time to hire a stylist and get your look together and then work your look. Then bring it into your marketing making your brand as unique as you are.

Last but not least create a clear vision of what you desire for your business, just because your fellow friend is getting noticed as a writer doesn’t mean it’s the right move for you and your personality.

4. It’s refreshing to get super clear know how you want your vision to feel, touch and smell. Once you know where you are going you can work backwards. To master this skill you can hire a visibility coach and become the Rising Star that you already know you are destined for.
