So far in this 5 part article series, I have introduce the first 3 of the 4 Success Saboteurs & How to Capture Them.

#1 is Multi-tasking - Trying to accomplish more than one thing at a time and getting sparse results.

#2 is Distraction and interruption - Losing 20 to 40 minutes of production for each interruption

#3 is Friction - Being subject to anything that does not support you

The last of the top 4 is one every successful entrepreneur I know identifies as most persistant challenge:  Mind Chatter

Do you ever try to sit quietly and find it difficult to concentrate on one thing for more than 15 seconds?   Do thoughts, ideas, conversations, and memories race through your mind like a film running at high speed? 

Some describe this like standing in a dark room full of people all of whom are speaking to you at once.

Regardless of your experience with this, Mind Chatter keeps you from focusing your thought energy on the desired outcome and inhibits the realization of success. 

It turns out that Mind Chatter is actually most often caused by a collection of subconscious memories playing in a constant loop all at the same time.  Sort of like listening to 10 radio stations all at once, while you are trying to play a musical instrument of your own. 

What we know about subconscious memory is that it can, in fact it must, be cleared and so silenced.

“Any conscious intention you set to succeed, can and will be frustrated and possibly completely thwarted by one or more ‘counter-intentions’ that are lurking within a subconscious (limiting) belief that you cannot, will not, or do not deserve it.” - The Secret to Astonishing Entrepreneurial Success.

Mind Chatter not only keeps you off balance and in constant interrupt, but it also disrupts the flow of subconscious energy so vital to the manifestation of your success.

It is the 4^th success saboteur.

In my next post I will provie you 3 simple steps you can take to capture and disable all 4 of these success saboteurs.

In the mean time, I would appreciate your comments. 

As you scan back through each of the 4 success saboteurs, consider how they effect you and your productivity. 

I would be interested in hearing how you deal with them now, before I give you the magic keys.

As always, I am standing for all that is possible for you.

With sincere gratitude,

Steve

PS - Watch you email for the launch of 2 fantastic new products my team and I have been working on.

A relative shared this video with me today.  I had heard of it but really did not have the full appreciation of the significance of this presentation until I watched it. 

It is positively amazing.

In it Jill Taylor, a renowned neuroanatomist (a brain scientist) provides a detailed recollection of a deeply moving spiritual awakening she experienced during her own stroke.

She provides clear experiential evidence that everything in our experience is energy or spirit.  When allowed to experience an existance outside of the limitations of our human mind, it becomes clear that we are indeed all spiritual beings having a human experience.

This realization indicates that thoughts truly are things.  To the extent that we learn to develop our thoughts, it is clear that we can indeed manifest our human experience any way we want it to be.

How does it feel to know that you are truly the life force energy of the universe?

Consider the implications of this perspective as it relates to creating a life of success, abundance, and joy; entrepreneurial, retirement planning, or otherwise.

Please comment I would love to hear your thoughts.

With deep gratitude for your visit.

I have been reminded several times this week of the importance of knowing and passionately pursuing purpose.

Here is an excerpt from a free report entitled “The Secret to Astonishing Entreprenuerial Success“.  You can download a copy from www.secretforentrepreneurs.com

Purpose is central to good human health.  We are all born with a purpose. 

“Purpose is a permanent, common thread woven throughout and in all parts of our lives….Purpose is energy.  It’s the single most motivating force there is.  Discover your purpose, be on purpose, and you will have a life filled with meaning and significance.” The On-Purpose Person, Kevin W. McCarthy.

Although deaf and blind, Helen Keller became a world renowned speaker and author.  She wrote that “happiness comes from fidelity to a worthy purpose“. 

A Russian immigrant who became a worldwide success as philosopher, novelist and play-write, Ayn Rand wrote that “purpose must be one of the three ruling values of human life.“ 

“The first principle of ethical power is Purpose…It is the picture you have of yourself - the kind of person you want to be or the kind of life you want to lead.” Kenneth Blanchard and Norman Vincent Peale, The Power of Ethical Management.

…

You have a cause or a purpose which is bigger than yourself.  Break-through the belief that you are, or must be, a victim of economic, ethnic, or social circumstances beyond your control.  Accept a new view of the future which includes the manifestation of a life of choice, abundance and opportunity.  Take on the challenge of creating a new world for yourself; a world which includes the accomplishment of personal and professional success, financial freedom, happiness, joy, health, wellness, and longevity.

Fulfill your purpose and passionately contribute to a cause greater than yourself.  Whether your purpose is to be a factor in the elimination of poverty, starvation, crime, or war, you can create the future as you want it to be, regardless of any thoughts or beliefs you or others around you may have to the contrary.

Live your life passionately, joyfully, and on purpose right now.  If you do, you will create the successful, rich, secure, healthy and accomplished life you desire now and in the future.

Start here now.

To do this, you must identify, explore, and engage in the pursuit of your purpose.  Take the time to invest in creating the personal entrepreneurial success you desire, by engaging in the purposeful pursuit of your passions.

The simple inner exploration of what is truly important to you will save you years of wandering, searching, and wondering about the future.  Once you are onto your purpose, don’t fall prey to the notion you must defer your passion until after you make enough money.  Implement a set of daily practices that will support you and help you get and remain ‘on purpose’.

Follow your passion and the money will come.

The report goes on to provide a number of exercises you can do to find your purpose. 

Download a copy and do the exercises in it.  www.secretforentrepreneurs.com

You will be amazed by how much clarity you will derive from this exercise.

My friend Todd Goldfarb speaks to this in a recent post on his blog.  Click HERE to read his message about finding your purpose.

Once you have a vision of your purpose, you will know what you wre ‘up to’ in life and an important distinction will become clear:  Accomplishment vs Result.

It is the commitment to a purpose that brings accomplisment from result. 

My experience of this was in my career in technology.   I was very successful and had big results financially.  But, at the same time felt no sense of accomplishment. 

The results were distinct from accomplishment becuase they lacked the commitment of purpose.

Once there was a clear purpose to which I could commit and through which the results could contribute, accomplishment emerged.

You can imbu all that you do with a committed purpose and literally redfine your experience of life.

That job you hate, can be imbued with purpose and become a statisfying vehicle of accomplishment through which you create the life you love living.  The frustration, anxiety, anger, and fear you feel will be replaced with joy and satisfying accomplishment.

Your experience of life will shift.  You will no longer live circumstantially.  Instead your experience will be generative and creative, joy-filled, abundant, successful, and accomplished.

With sincere gratitude for your visit,

Steve

PS - “Don’t ask yourself what the world needs.  Instead, ask yourself what what makes you come alive and do that.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

On Tuesday of this past week I hosted the “Retirement Shifts” Teleseminar with my associate Bill Losey, “America’s Retirement Strategist” and author of “Retire In a Weekend - The Baby Boomers Guide to Making Work Optional“.

Click here to listen to the recording:  http://www.thesecretforretirement.com/teleseminar-recording.html

The fact of the matter is your retirement is coming.

The question is - Will you be ready?

Bill and I present information that will help you know with 100% certainty how to have everything you want in retirement, exactly as you want it to be.

PS - Listen to the recording and then let me know if you found it of value. 

I was interviewed by business consultant and entrepreneur Todd Goldfarb earlier this week. 

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know that our paths are running a close parallel.  This is good for you because you get a double dose of ‘great stuff’ that will help you accomplish more and win big in life.

In fact, I interviewed Todd 2 weeks earlier and just have not gotten it posted yet.  Stand-by for more information on that interview.  Todd is awesome.

So, in the mean time, check out the Secrets to Success interview Todd did with me this week.

At one level it is about helping others accomplish more and win big in life. 

At another it is about changing the world.

I promise you will get something valuable out of our converstation.

Listen to me:

Every successful person I know follows very similar principle daily disciplines.

These disciplines create the experience of the day and keep the joy of accomplishment from disappearing into the fog and turmoil of life.

These disciplines are what give you power and illuminate the inspired actions you ahve taken that manifest miracles each and every day.

Often times, however, people believe that these principles and practices will not work for them. 

I want you to know that this thinking is nothing more than a limiting belief which is literally stuck in your subconscious mind. 

It is the same limiting belief that sabotages success in every area of your life in which you struggle.

Following the daily disciplines of truly successful people;

people who live in abundance and joy each and every day,

people who are not derailed by adveristy of challenge,

and you will experience the same miraculous manifestation of abundance and joy in your life.

I wish you much success and happiness,

With sincere gratitude and appreciation,

I heard from my friend Joe Vitale this morning about a book entiled ‘AIDS Orphans Rising‘ by Sister Mary Elizabeth Lloyd.

I commented on Joe’s blog that this is a topic my oldest daughter, Emily, and I are quite famlilar with. We travel to Arusha Africa each year and workwith a group of 600+ children who have been orphaned by the spread of aids in that part of the world.

In many cases this circumstance exacerbates an already serious shortage of food and shelter. It is not at all uncommon to find young 10 and 11 year old girls caring for 5 or 6 other younger children.

These are amazing, loving and caring people who want to stay together but can not do it without help.

By purchasing a copy of Sister Mary’s book, you will be helping.

100% of the profits generated by the sael of this book will go toward supporting these orphaned children.

It is available in Amazon right now at a 25% discount. For less than $12.00 you can make a difference.

Buy a copy right now. http://www.aidsorphansrising.org/book.html

I thank you for your generous support of such an amazing effort.

With love and appreciation,

Steve

Here are some other photos of our experience:

My dear friend Maryellen Little, creator of ItsMySymphony.com,  told me something really interesting today.

Apparently the forces of the universe are particularly available to us for a period of 24 hours following a new moon. 

This means that the best time to ‘put an intention out there’.

The next new moon is tomorrow, February 7th.

I am sure by now we all set intentions every day, but on this day it is a good idea to make a point of really putting it out there with lots of feeling and emotion.

Like my good friend Joe Vitale says, really “Nevillize” your desire.

You will be astonished at what the universe will send you.

With sincere gratitude,

Steve
