We all have a self-concept of how much we can earn. To break out of this we must upgrade our self-concept.

We have to see, think, and talk about ourselves & plan and set goals for ourselves that start us to think more successfully. Achieve it in our minds before we can expect to achieve it in reality. from Brian Tracy's "The Psychology of Selling" Track 1.

Shuswap resort is on the West bay of Lake Nipissing, near the French River. This is paradise. The main house with dining room is surrounded by several modern cottages hand finished by owners Heinz and Gerda Loewenberg. Wood beams and cozy touches. This is where to unwind and enjoy nature. You can relax on your cottage deck just a metre or two from the water, go boating through the pristine waters and islands, or walk around the garden-like grounds.

See it, Say it and Savor Your Success! by Robin L. Silverman

"When your mental images are in line with what your soul considers life-enhancing, you are full of energy. (... But) When you think worried, angry or frustrated thoughts, you're more likely to feel achy, stiff or tired.

Home Page  |  New Releases  |  Best Sellers  |  Books  |  CDs  |  MP3s  |  E-Books  July 31, 2011 Seven Keys to High-Energy Living By Brian Tracy Energy is a key luck factor. For you to be at the top of your form, to be action oriented, fast moving, and extremely productive, you have to have high levels of physical and mental energy. For you to be able to take advantage of all the possibilities around you, and to have the continuous enthusiasm that keeps you and others motivated and moving ahead, you have to organize your life so that you feel terrific about yourself most of the time. 1. Eat the Right Foods The first key to high energy is a proper diet. To perform at your best, you must eat the right foods, in the right balance, and in the right combination. Your diet has an inordinate impact on the amount of energy you have, how well you sleep, your levels of health and fitness, and your performance throughout the day and into the evening. 2. Watch your Weight The second key to high energy is proper weight. Proper weight is essential for health, happiness, and long life. Being slightly under your ideal weight is best. As they say, you can never be too rich or too thin. If you are not happy with your current level of physical health, you need to set specific goals for yourself for the weeks and months ahead. 3. Exercise is Essential The third key to high energy is proper exercise. The best activity for high energy and physical fitness is aerobic exercise. This type of exercise requires that you get your heart rate up into what is called the training zone three times per week. This training zone is about 120 to 160 beats per minute, depending on your age. You then keep it there for at least 20 minutes or more each session. "Learn the secrets to being healthy and happy for life." Discover how to lose a pound a day--and keep it off. Studies show that health and weight loss are areas of our life we say we need the most improvement in. If what you're doing on your own isn't getting the results you're looking for, I will help you get there. Click for more >> 4. Get Lots of Rest and Recreation The fourth key to high energy is proper rest. You need an average of seven to eight hours of sleep each night to be fully rested. You need to take off at least one full day each week during which you don't work at all. You should take regular mini-holidays of two or three days each, every couple of months. You should take one and two week vacations each year when you relax completely and get your mind totally off your work. 5. Develop a Positive Mental Attitude The sixth key to high energy is the elimination of negative emotions. This can be the most important thing you do to assure a long and happy life. Your ability to keep your mind on what you want and off of what you don't want will determine your levels of health and happiness more than any other decision you make. 6. Start a Personal Mental Fitness Program The seventh key to high energy is for you to go on a 21-daypositive mental attitude diet, one day at a time. Resolve that, for the next 21 day, you are going to keep your mind on what you want and keep it off the things you don't want. You are going to think and talk positively and optimistically about your goals, other people, and everything that is going on in your life. 7. Become a Personal Powerhouse The more you practice the health habits we have talked about, the more energy and vitality you will have. The more you keep your conversation focused on your goals and on the things you want, the greater the amount of strength and power you will feel. You will be more alert and aware. You will feel more positive and action oriented in every situation. Action Exercise Resolve to become intensely action oriented from now on; whenever you get a good idea or something needs to be done, move quickly. "Can Setting Goals Really Determine Your Successful Future?" I've worked with more than 2,000,000 successful people over the past four decades. Most worked their way up from the bottom to achieve great success. Once you start meeting the goals that you set, your life will change dramatically. Start listening to my lessons today and start accomplishing your goals faster than you ever have before!
