5 Abilities

1- Absorb - Be a sponge
Don't get through the say, get FROM it!!

2- Learn to Respond
Let life touch you
Let sad things make you sad, happy things make you happy

3- Ability to Reflect - Remember
Go back over, through the notes, the texts, etc, over your day
End of the day, capture it, recall it, so that it locks in
A few hours at the end of the week
Have a day at the end of the month
take a week-end at the end of the year, to establish this year
Learn to reflect with yourself
Go away to the closet (CLOSE the door)
I'll take care of me - for you, so please take care of you, for me!!!

4- Ability to Act
when the idea is hot, and the emotion is strong
Action as soon as possible
or the law of diminishing intent
There isn't anything that doesn't matter
Take charge of your own life, pension, etc or divide it by 5

5- Ability to Share
Pass it along
When somebody shares, everybody wins
I've been on track ever since
When I do this teaching I can hear it once again
In order to hold more of the next experience

HOW TO SET GOALS
Have good goals = Good bank account
Is your way to view the future
You can face it:

1- with apprehention
= you have given it up to someone else's plan! ) But what does someone else has for you? Not much

2- With anticipation


The price is easy if the promise is clear, powerful
Let children see the promises of the future
If they can't see, the won't want to pay

Get a handle on the future, don't let it on to someone else, design your own future

Decide what you want, and make a list:
* Where do you want to go?
* What do you want to do?
* What do you want to be?
* What do you want to have?
* What do you want to share?
* What project would you like to support?
* What would you like to be known for?
* What skills would you like to learn?
* Wome extraordinary things you'd like to do? Ordinary/ Silly/ Important

Why to be a millionair?
For what it will make of you to achieve it
The major value in life us - What you BECOME
Don't set the goals too low
Don't join an easy group - with high expectations
I don't need that much - well, you don't need to become too much!
The greatest source of unhappiness is feeling unhappy about yourself
Don't compromise your values

Chapter 4 - Financial Independence And Communication

Financial Independance

1-IDEAL Financial plan
never spend more than 70
30 rest
10 to charity
10 active capital for PROFIT - leave a profit to everything you touch (make it better)
10 passive capital so pays you interest for lending this money (bank) earn interest

not the amount counts but the plan

these numbers change with time: would be obscene to live on 70% of too much money!

2- Keep strict accounts
"I don't know where it all goes"

3- New attitude
Its what it represents of your life that counts, not the amount


Communication

Words can work miracles
1- Have smth to say (prepare, learn, read)
- develop new interest in people
- fascination make you learn (kids)
- turn frustration into fascination
- be sensitive about ppl, be touched by the misery, moved
- gather the knowledge

2- Say it well, with - sincerity
- repetition is the mother of skills
- brevety (all that I am that I don't have to say'
- vocabulary = personality
- words = way of expressing what's going on inside you / problems of behaviour - can't express themselves

3- Read your audience
see body language
read what your hear
listen to the response
read what you feel
Intentions words mixed with emotion are powerful
put more of you in your words!
good measure of emotion in your words
WELL CHOSEN WORDS MIXED WITH MEASURED EMOTIONS
the more you care, the stronger you can be

4- Learn how to deal with the negative

5- The day that turns your life around
1* Disgust (enough is enough)
2* Decision - better to act directly after you decide to make a life change
3* Desire - waits for a trigger
4* Welcome all experiences - take down the wals that keep you from deception and happiness
5* Resolve - promise yourself you'll never give up UNTIIIIIIIIIIIIIL it makes sense

2 MOST important stuff
1-Learn to help people with their lives, not just their jobs, or their skills
2-If you work on your gifts, they will make room for you
