How grateful are you?

How grateful are you?



Do you know what they say is supposed to
be the short-cut to riches?

GRATITUDE

What are you grateful for?

One of 'The Secret' teachers said it best when
he was on the Oprah show:

"Nothing new can come into your life until
you're grateful for what you already have."

What are you grateful for?















Another way to feel gratitude is

to ask yourself the opposite:

'How would I feel if this weren't there?'

How would you feel if your family was gone?
Or your car?
Or your clothes?
Or your house?
Or your health?

Usually not too good.

We often don't appreciate (feel grateful for)
things until they are gone.

You might not have the nicest car in the world,
but you have a very nice car if you compare it
to having NOT car at all.

You might not be grateful for your health, but
consider you were sick, wouldn't you be grateful
the moment you turn healthy again?

If you can't feel gratitude for what you have,
use this strategy and see how it will lead you
to feel more grateful in your life.

May gratitude lead you to more wealth in all
areas of life - money, friendships, emotions, etc.

What are you grateful for?

With deep gratitude,

Ben

Do You TRULY Live?

Do You TRULY Live?


One of my favorite movies of all times
is the movie "Braveheart".













Chances are pretty that you have watched
the movie, since apparently half the planet
has.

In that movie, the main character William
Wallace also says one of my favorite quotes
that I wanted to share with you:

"Every man dies. Not every man truly lives."

Do you truly live?

Do you live the life of your dreams?

Do you do what you love to do?

Or do you let your fears stop you?


What could you do today to truly live more?

Get excited,


Ben

P.S. If you want to learn strategies to

to Success Seminar' on http://www.influence7.com/

Test Your Dream Car NOW!

Test Your Dream Car NOW!



Dear friends,

What is your dream car? What would you
love to drive one day?

One of my dream cars is a Lamborghini. It costs
around $500,000.

Last week my friends & I tested out some of
our dream cars (you can see one example above).

We leaned onto them, we touched them, we sat
inside them and we will at a later point test drive
them.

Why did we do it?

Why didn't we just sit at home and download the
pictures of our dream cars?

So we can FEEL what it's like owning them!

And the cool thing is we can FEEL like that NOW.

You don't have to wait forever until you can feel
like that. Go out today and test drive your dream
car.

Take a picture.

And remember afterwards what it FELT like.

Using this little strategy, you will get your car
faster, because you will have the motivation
for it.

Enjoy testing your dream car!

Where could you do that TODAY or TOMORROW?

Get excited,

Ben
