Abundance Vs Scarcity – Give and Take?
October 27, 2010
Dedicated To All Who Embrace Abundance
Question I ponder on today is "Give or Take?"
Would you seek to add value in your actions, words and posts or will you take as much as you can and not want to acknowledge, support or give back to others?
These are extremes. Most of use will be somewhere in between this spectrum.
But give this a thought.
- The Abundance mindset is happy to share and support.
- It rejoices with those who succeed.
- It is also happy to acknowledge and give back to the person whom he has taken from.
In simple terms if we use another person's quote, phrase or articles we acknowledge the source.
If we ask for referral or advice, we acknowledge the support and give credit to the referral.
Simple right? Yet not everyone sees this though.
Let me give you an example.
I continue to see my articles being published without the resource box (where there are links back to the author's blog).
One coaching client asks why I put my article, podcasts and videos on the internet where others can take, copy and use as their own?
Here's my response to him:
1 – The more my ideas, articles and quotes are copied, the more certain I am that I am on the right track.
2 – It also shows that there is value and quality in my services and products and I am thankful for that.
3 – The one who copies does not really understand the issue at hand and our audience is getting more savvy. They can tell if you are the creator or if you are merely regurgitating. Also know that upgrades and support comes from the creator. Those who copy gets sketchy images of the real thing.
4 – I choose to concentrate on those who embrace the Abundance mindset and not focus on those who choose scarcity. Think Bill Gates, as my coach constantly reminds me. There are lots of pirated copies of Microsoft software floating around, but that doesn't stop Bill from researching, inventing, creating, producing. Today he still dominates a greater part of the market. He is the real deal.
5 – I choose more of Abundance and less of Scarcity. There is no need to be stressed-out by events that are not within our control.
Abundance is knowing that there is enough to go around.
Start sharing, acknowledging, praising and feel Abundance!
The more you contribute to the success of others, the more blessed you will be
May you have an Abundant Day!
Who Needs A Facebook Page?

Facebook Page – For Those Who Want To Promote A Brand or Services
This is Facebook 101 for newbies – so don't expect to see mumbo-jumbo and complicated in-depth study here (there's a place for that).
500 Millions people are using Facebook, about 70% of the users are outside the United States with more than 70 translations available on the site now.
Some are using Facebook to their advantage, some are not.
My intention is to share with you the basics of what works for Facebook – whether you are using it on a personal level or for your business. I see fundamental things that once changed can bring you much benefit and leverage. If left unchanged, they can cost you dearly in terms of your privacy, safety, time and effort.
Imaging building a large base of "friends" on your account only to get the Facebook slap (they close down your account). You have just wasted your time and effort in building your database! Imagine having your personal data shared online – we do not want to go there either! So to use this social media tool properly, we need to know some guidelines and play within the rules.
"There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught". ~J.C. Watts
We have seen why we do not want to have more than 1 personal Facebook profile account. We also do not want to use the profile page as a business entity i.e. not use your business entity name for your profile account and not conduct business activities using it either.
To do any form of promotion and branding, you can make use of the Facebook Page – which is also free and easy to set up and use. Here are some reasons why you will want to have a page:
- Unlimited number of "fans" as supposed to limit of 5000 friends on your profile account
- Promotion using links are allowed so you can conduct business activities (this is not allowed in your profile account)
- Pages are public and are indexed by search engines and are part of Google Real Time Search. This means if you have a conversation around your business niche using certain keywords, these key words becomes your tool for bringing free traffic to your site. How? When others do a search online (using Google or Bing) and type in your keyword, your page could show up (depending on the keyword match and competition which I will not go into here). Doing this on your profile account does not have the same effect.
- Watch this short video and get an overview of what you can control.
These are great tools that can greatly help you whether you are a Coach, an Author, Trainer, Stay-At-Home-Mom, Work-At-Home-Mom, PA/VA or an offline business owner. Often it does not require you to do a lot more to get great results. If you know the rules and play within the game you can leverage on technology and automation.
How is it possible that solo entrepreneurs are thriving with productivity without a team? They leverage on streamlined and automated critical processes. That is why I am so attracted to technology …
The key to success in life and business lies in discipline and consistency. Market leadership and expert authority is not built over night. And believe me, you ARE marketing and selling yourself everyday, in every situation whether you are in "Business" and "Sales" or not.
You need to consistently and regularly create and provide relevant and valuable content/solutions to your market, build relationships and trust before any other endeavors. Facebook Page is a platform that enables you to do that easily, regularly and inexpensively. Laying the right foundation using technology helps you move in the right direction with great leverage.
If you find this helpful I invite you to press "share" or "like" at the end of the post. Someone will be glad you share this with them. And stay in touch with updates of new videos and tips by signing up to be on my VIP priority list. You will find lots of useful tips and inspiring posts/articles prepared for you that may not be made available to the general public.
How To Win – Keep Moving Forward
August 13, 2010
Dedicated to All Who Are Committed to Win
Do you sometimes feel like you have so much to deal with and have so many reasons for not "making it" that those reasons actually sound fearfully convincing?
And then by some strokes of enlightenment, you are awakened to "see" the real picture from a totally different angle and the entire picture ("truth") is turned around?
Watch this short clip; not your warm and fuzzy clip. It has truth that some may not be ready to hear.
Don't stop being the real you, the strong and compassionate you. Do not allow others to tell you what you can or cannot do. It is not going to be easy being the real and authentic you. It is going to cost you pain, sweat and tears.
"It ain't about how hard you are hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
How much can you take and keep moving forward?
That's how winning is done."
That is some powerful speech.
Watch this a few times and let the message sink in.
Let it speak to the part in you that is beaten and challenged.
Let it speak to the weakness within so it can be awakened to realize how much more strength it has to keep moving forward.
Keep moving forward, that's how winning is done.
Let the real you triumph, let it shine and live!
I salute the greatness in you that is waiting to come out and shine!
