Developing the Mental Competitive Edge  to have success in what can be a highly aggressive world it is essential that you have something that makes you stand out, something that gives you a competitive edge.

The question is; how do you get that edge?
Success in the form of wealth mastery and for that matter any form of life mastery come as a result of discovering your resources.
Therefore to get that competitive edge, you must first look at what are the resources that are available to you.

There are the obvious resources like; money, time and people. However there are the less obvious ones, and if you are not tapping into them you can pretty much kiss your dreams good bye.

In order to discover these most important resources it is imperative that you develop yourself beyond what you have believed you were capable of. The bottom line is this: the level of development you have so far, has got you to where you are today.

“Growth by its very nature demands that we extend beyond where we are, or what we know.” ~ Dõv Baron

To go beyond where you are presently, you will have to become more than you have been. Becoming affluent, (meaning to be in the flow) is a result of getting out of your own way. For many people this seems like a quantum leap in consciousness. However, you can be certain that the transformation of yourself will result in the transformation of every other area of your life including your finances.

Obviously there is a plethora of personal development programs out there that you could sign up for and sink your money into. I suggest that you start at the level of self awareness. Simply by developing the awareness of paying attention to the thoughts that most commonly float around in your mind you will begin to develop a level of mind power previously unknown to you.

By observing the repetitive thoughts something miraculous happens, instead of all the old internal messages going through your mental system uninterrupted, you get the opportunity to interrupt and ultimately derail thoughts and beliefs that have been a hidden process of self sabotage.

Research shows that we think approximately sixty five thousand thoughts a day. More than eighty percent of those thoughts are negative and recycled, (the same stuff you been thinking about for years and years). Realize this; wherever you have gotten to in your life, you have been able to get there even with all that crazy making, self sabotaging thought processes have been in the way.

Now, just for a moment, let yourself imagine how much of a competitive edge you would have over all the others who never even knew they could examine their recycled thoughts?

Your greatest resource comes from managing your mind to create a level of Quantum Mind Mastery. Because; the level of your success will never exceed the level of your development.

Going down …”Deeper”

Standing on the beach is not the same as getting in the water. Being knee deep, is not the same as swimming. Swimming is not the same as snorkeling to see below the surface. And snorkeling is not the same as strapping on the tanks and really diving deep into the depths…

Very few have the courage to strap on the tanks and dive deep into their own psyche. I am honoured to be working with some very brave emotional divers!

I’m excited for everyone who’s already registered for the “Deep” Modules; two things I can absolutely guarantee; One you’ve never been part of something like this before. And two, you’re going to get some life-changing perspective by completing this tele-series.

I’m already getting feedback from people who were on the live program telling me that they’ve already having breakthroughs and that even in the first module things are getting pretty “Deep”.

In my last article: “Promise to Be Normal” I stated that:

“Most people’s lives are nothing more than the realization of a promise they made to themselves.”

Come with me and let’s take this a little deeper…

These promises that we made to ourselves were, in all likelihood, “unconsciously” chosen and chances are you made them when you were very young.(Although as you read this you may have had a “light bulb moment” and realized exactly when you made your promise and why you did it).

My life has been dedicated to discovering, understanding and sharing with my friends and students how we create our reality. However, as much as we may want to jump on the Law of Attraction bandwagon for a quick fix solution for reality creation, what you may want to understand is this–most people are creating their realty at a very unconscious level.

In fact, for most people even the idea of “creating reality” becomes only vaguely conscious when something different shows up. When that happens, they quickly write it off to luck or fate and scramble around to get things back to “normal.”

Now there’s that fascinating word again: “Normal.”

For most people reading this you likely realize that normal is at least somewhat subjective. That means, what’s normal for you may not be normal at all for someone living on a different continent in a completely different culture…right?

Normal is relative to the individual. Church on Sunday morning is perfectly “normal” to a “born-again Christian” while, smoking crack on a Sunday morning is equally normal to a crack addict. What’s really interesting about all this is how we just love to judge people who don’t fall inside the realm of our version of “normal.”

However, “normal” goes much “Deeper” and the implications of holding onto your “normal” are vast! Without even knowing it, many individuals are unconsciously busy policing themselves and their reality to keep things normal. Again please note: the normal I’m speaking about is your own version of normal. It is the place you have become comfortable; it’s what you are used to. In fact, you may even feel a little threatened if something interferes with your normal.

You may have noticed that many of things we held as normal are disappearing. For instance, when I say normal some people automatically think of the suburban family with two point five kids, a white picket fence and a minivan. Let me be absolutely clear: the normal I am referring to has must greater implications, not only on how you see/judge others, but also on how much joy you experience.

You are probably already beginning to see that what I’m referring to is your own particular brand of normal.

Have you ever heard the saying:
“Situation Normal All F*%ked Up?”

Well for some people unless the situation is “all f*%ked up” it’s not normal, since that kind of situation is their own brand of ‘normal’…

That being said; here are a couple of challenging questions for you to bathe in for a while…

What have you made normal that might not be healthy?

What promise might you have made to yourself that without you realizing it, is in fact keeping your life pretty much the same as it was?

To get to your dream, you will have to believe it is possible or at least be willing to believe it is possible. One of the ways to begin believing that you can reach your goal is find out how it is done from someone who has done it before.

The best way to do that is to find a mentor. A mentor will be able to offer the benefit of his/her experience, expertise, and knowledge, and will listen to you when you need the support the most. Having someone who’s “been there and done that”  is one of the best ways to get yourself on track with what you want to accomplish or become.

"Don't Read This...Unless You Want More Money"

How can you get in that flow of affluence you so desperately desire?

Something I’d like to make clear is this:

“In life you don’t get what you deserve;

you get what you believe you deserve.”

~Dõv Baron

What that means is the idea or belief you have about your worth will end up determining your bank account.

This is why bad things happen to good people and real “douche bags” seem to have good fortune.

This part may be a bit of a stretch for you, but I promise that I’ll back it all up with science later. For now I would like for you to consider that all the situations and circumstances we find ourselves in come from something I call Unconscious Deserving.

Our Unconscious Deserving is held in place by a set of beliefs that you have accepted without question up until now. This set of beliefs tells us our worth and, as such, what we deserve.

Now before you jump to any conclusions, you should know, for the most part, this is all going on unconsciously and all too often doesn’t make any sense to the conscious mind. Nonetheless, whatever it is that we unconsciously believe we deserve is what is being fed directly out into the quantum field. (We’ll take a good look at this later in the book.)

Now, what’s great is that when you begin questioning even your conscious beliefs, you are inadvertently questioning your level of unconscious deserving. As a result, you begin changing or at least shaking the foundations of what has been your unconscious deserving. By doing that, what starts showing up in your life is very different from what has been your usual fare.

So Where Are We?

As you might have guessed, what all this means is your wealth is based on your self-worth, which is why so few people ever achieve financial independence. They either devalue or just don’t recognize their worth.

Feel free to share this article with your friends and leave you comments and feedback.

Each Ending is a New Beginning

What follows is an except from my upcoming book: “Don’t Read This…Unless You Want Mare Money!” subconscious tactics of the truly affluent. Due for release May 4th 2010

The years immediately preceding 2008 were politically turbulent ones. The United States and many other countries were actively involved in two major wars and several smaller ones. The threat of terrorism had become
media normality and the housing market had gone nuts. Nonetheless, money was flowing, there were lots of jobs, and the Internet was booming.

Despite insane gas prices and greater evidence of global warming, cash was flowing and people were still buying bigger and bigger homes, Gucci bags, and gigantic SUVs. The economic theme song could easily have been made famous by the Beatles:

“Money…that’s what I want.”

Then in the late summer of 2008, there came a whispering of something many refused to hear. Many went out and borrowed more in hopes of buying even at a high price because they were sure it would get higher. Suddenly, at least for those who refused to see the signs, the economic airbus crashed into the mountain of hope.

A wave of economic devastation that would potentially collapse the global economy began to drown us.  A tsunami of fear flooded the globe and jobs disappeared under the surge. Homes were foreclosed. Banks went under and long established old money companies went bankrupt or needed the government to bail them out.

Was it all over? Would business recover? Was this some kind of an apocalyptic warning that the end was near?

These were questions spoken about on the news, late night talk shows and in living rooms around the world.

As I write this book, it’s more than a year ago since it was made official that we were in a global recession. Although bankruptcies were up by an unprecedented 34.6 percent over the first quarter of 2009, a subtle but growing sense of hope is returning.

This hope is not for things to return to the way they were, although there are many who would want it that way.

The growing hope seems to be for a growing “healthy economy,” based more on collaboration that direct and adversarial completion.

The world and its economics have changed, and I don’t believe it can ever be the same.

The belief in a stable job has buckled at the knees.

The corporate ladder has been pushed over.

The result is that many people are less willing to be dependent on some outside force for their financial certainty. In many ways, it is that quiet rumbling within the middle class mind that has catalyzed this book into reality.

Yes, the economy has changed. However, the opportunity to live the life of your dreams did not die with the announcement of a recession.

There have been many recessions, 14 since the “Great Depression” of  1929 and although people thought some of them were going to be financially fatal, in the long run that was never an actuality.

In this new economy we will have to do things differently, and this book is dedicated to you discovering how you cannot only survive but flourish by tapping into what you have that no one else has—even if you don’t know what that is—yet.

So let’s use this ending as a new beginning.

What if the apparent economic devastation ends up being a gift, what opportunities await you?

I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback.

Freedom or Slavery, which would you choose?

You’re probably thinking that I’m an idiot for even asking. Maybe for you the answer, at least superficially, is obvious….Well maybe the answer is not as obvious as you would think.

I would put it to you that in order to be truly happy we must be truly free. However, what is freedom?

Here we are in the twenty first century and it is evident ( at least to me), how many people living in first world, democratic nations are living as slaves.

No, I’m not taking about slavery in the way we envision it in the seventeen and eighteen hundreds. Nor am I addressing a conspiracy theories of dark overlords pulling political strings and subversively running a big-brother system. It would be easy to see it that way because a person could say it’s something they have no control over.

What I’m talking about is far more consensual and submissive…

Slavery is not necessarily got anything to do with chains around the ankles. Slavery is mostly about the chains of the mind.

It’s easy to assume that no one wants to be a slave. But is that really true?

When you think about it; many would say that there certain advantages to being a slave.

As a Slave:

• You are ruled by some version of “fear of loss”, so you never let yourself have anything you could lose

• As a slave: You don’t have to concern yourself with what to do, because as a slave you know that is someone else’s job, and not yours.

• Therefore you do only what is required of by your master.

• As a slave: You don’t have to push yourself to succeed because you already know there’s no place to go

• As a result; your basic survival needs are taken care of.

• As a slave: You don’t have to let down your guard and trust others because slaves live in “fear of loss”

• As a slave: You get to blame others for your problems

• As a slave: You get to whine about your situation while while claiming that you are impotent to change it.

• As a slave: You get to hold resentment, which supports you not trusting

• As a slave: You get to stay in victim mode, which justifies you not having or following your dreams.

As you can see: Slavery has its own set of advantages.

Like I said to be truly happy we need to be free. However, being free requires a considerable amount of mental, emotional, and even spiritually work and responsibility.

To become free we must dig a tunnel under the foundations of our own beliefs.

This takes a lot more consistent effort than staying in a comfortable mental jail, especially if there’s a nice car in the drive way.

Let me show you what I mean: Did you ever see the movie, “The Shawshank Redemption“? In the movie there is an old guy who has been running the library in the prison for many years. This guy has been in jail almost all his life. While he is inside, he and his fellow prisoner speak often and fondly about the day when they will be on the other side of those gates, the day when they will be free.

The years go by and finally the day comes and the old guy is released.  He steps onto the other side of the gate, he smells the fresh air. He gets a little job in a grocery store and he even has his own little apartment.  He’s finally free, he can eat meals of his own choosing, whenever he decides he wants to eat them. He can turn the lights on and off whenever he decides. He can walk outside anytime he wants to.  He is free!  Just  a few weeks go by and the news finds its way back to the prison; the old guy has hung himself, he couldn’t handle it out there!

Freedom is a foreign land to anyone who has always lived in slavery….  Therefore, a slave has to be prepared to learn how to live in freedom.

As a kid one of the first movies I saw in a cinema was with Charlton Heston as Moses in “The Ten Commandments.” In later life as I studied the bible I became particularly fascinated with the piece of that story that said: After Moses takes the Israelite’s out of Egypt they spent forty years wandering in the desert. I don’t think that they were wondering around for all those years because they had a lousy sense of direction, so there must have been a more important reason.

What’s fascinating is that during that time they constantly complaining and saying how they miss the food and other things they had while they were slaves in Egypt. They begged Moses to take care of them, and they even had several rebellions against him.

Let’s remember Moses is the fella who has climbed a mountain and been chatting with “The Big Guy”.  On many occasions he’s put his own life on the line in order to get these people out of slavery and now all they are doing is moaning, complaining and missing slavery.

It seems to me that they had to wonder the desert for forty years so that all the people who had only know slavery could die out and with it their slave mentality. That way those who would enter “the promised land” would never have lived in slavery and could actually appreciate their freedom.

Even today in a “first world”, “democratically free” country so many live as slaves.

The slaves of today are dress considerably better. Some of them even drive fancy cars and live in big houses… Yet so few people are really free!

When I look around I see people imprisoned in their jobs, their mortgages, their relationships and false obligations.

As I speak about in my upcoming book; “Don’t Read This…Unless You Want More Money” (Release date May 4th 2010) Freedom is possibly the most driving of all human desires.  Just stop for a moment and consider this because in one form or another I think you’ll agree; we are all in our own way, looking for higher and higher levels of freedom. That’s a good thing because it is our nature to be free.

There again, I ask you: What is freedom? And how would you know if you actually got it?

“That’s easy,” you say. “More money!” But is that it? Is more money really what freedom is? I doubt it.

Over the years, I have met and worked with people from all kinds of financial backgrounds. Some of the individuals who have hired me to take them from success to fulfillment and on to creating a legacy have more spending money a month than the average person has to keep a small family going for a year.

In my travels, I’ve met people who are so financially poor that the poverty line would be a giant step up on the income ladder. In both extremes, I have met people who were free and those who were far from free.

Money, I find, is rarely a guaranteed path to freedom.

I want to challenge you to look at how you would know if you were free, and how you may be in some form of servitude.

“Money will not solve all your problems, make you more spiritual or bring you eternal happiness, but there again, neither will financial struggle.” ~Dov Baron…

I look forward to hearing your comments and feedback.

With gratitude,

The recession has had so many people in a sweat on a daily basis. With layoffs and jobs being downsized, it’s only natural to feel the stress of these very uncertain times.
Now, I want to say something that will sound a bit radical, but if you’ve been following my work for a while you’ve probably come to expect that. So here goes: In many ways, what’s happening now with the economy is a very good thing.

“Wait a second, Dõv!” you might want to scream at me.

“These times certainly don’t feel very good. In fact, it feels downright crappy. My job is being threatened, and I’m in danger of losing my home. What’s good about it?”

I repeat:

These times ARE  a very good thing.

Stay with me, it will make sense in a moment.  In fact, I wrote a new book about dealing with money, the recession and becoming wealthy that’s due out in May, 2010 called:
Don’t Read This…Unless You Want More Money.

Sorry, but it’s at the publisher’s right now, or I’d send you a copy — asap.  Until then, I’ll take this blog space each week to give you some of the highlights of one of the most important books I’ve ever written because it will change your life and the circumstances for your family.

Now, let’s get back to all your worries – or should I say the collective worries – about cash these days.

Stop for a second and realize that this change in our economy is not fatal, and you do not have to become a slave of the economy.

Yes, many jobs have disappeared and no one can deny that fact. However, in their despair, many people have forgotten to notice that many new jobs are arriving.

In fact, 20 percent of the jobs that are here today didn’t exist six years ago.

Jobs constantly disappear while new ones are created on a daily basis. That’s a fact of our modern economies.
Worry comes from uncertainty… Therefore, one of the best ways to stop worrying about money and jobs is to replace your fear with concrete facts and knowledge. Yes, you might have been in a job that was the equivalent of a sinking ship, but remember that the new jobs are coming quickly.

Think of it as if you’re really on that ship that’s taking in water. You know your ship is going to sink in two hours. Isn’t it less painful when you also are informed (and see with your own eyes) that beautiful rescue ship that arrives in half an hour? Why, you didn’t get much more than your toes wet on that one!

The economy is changing and so is everything else. We also have to change, including the way we think about how life is supposed to be. Many toil away at what I call “slavery jobs” that they hate and that pay very little. Often times bosses aren’t mentors, but tormenters. The treatment is terrible and the end result is devastating to yourself-worth. Yet, so many people go to these jobs year after year because they think, “It has to be this way because I have to pay for my condo and my car. The kids need new shoes. Hell, the kids always need something.”
Look, I know it sounds radical but:

If that’s the way you’re thinking, you should know…

That’s slave thinking!

If you’re thinking like that then you are a slave to this life you’ve created. And your real fear is you must stay in your horrible situation because the next one might be worse.

What if you stopped for a moment and refocuse your way of thinking?

How about trying on a mentality of freedom?

One where you have several rays of hope that laser through the darkness and open several new life possibilities. Isn’t that worth taking a chance on…especially these days when change is often thrust upon us anyway?

As for all the economic upheaval around us, it actually makes me smile and remember a favorite quote:

A man falls to his knees because the foundation of his reality has been shaken. While down there he decides to pray to God – only to discover that God is doing the shaking.

The bottom line is simple. Everything in the universe is evolving and expanding and you are part of this universe, which means you must expand and grow. It has always been this way – always will that way.  Of course, you will probably resist any change including losing that job you hate. The ego-mind wants to keep things the same because then you will feel safe. However, too much safety numbs your life and is, again, slavery. It sucks the marrow from the soul of your being.

Okay, so now that you have this inkling that you must embrace change, I want to give you a few tips that will get you back to sleep at night. This is exactly how I want you to stop worrying about money right now:

• Change your focus. I’m not going to say, “Stop worrying.” That never helps because you’re going to have these anxious feelings. What you can choose to do is change your focus and ask yourself one question:

“What are you able to do today that seemed impossible five or ten years ago.”

Actually, take out a sheet of paper or write the answer in your journal. When you’re done realize that what is possible tomorrow seems impossible today. For example, ten years ago, I wanted to reach people all over the globe. It was impossible, unless I got on ten trillion planes. Now, it’s very possible to do this on a daily basis via the Internet.

• Ask yourself this question: “What skill do I possess or value that has gone unrecognized?”  In my upcoming book, I talk about “genius blind spots.” This is the part of you where real genius lurks, but either you ignore it, don’t recognize it, or take it for granted. This exact skill can result in amazing new cash flow. Don’t take your brilliance for granted. I’ll give you more details in upcoming blogs and of course in my new book.

• Another way to stop worrying about money is by asking: “How you can be of service?” You’re not doing this for the money, but for the sheer joy of giving. By the way, giving is a natural way to stop worrying and shift your focus.

Here’s a great example:

Let’s say you’re fretting about paying the mortgage while sitting on your front porch. You’re deep in worry land when you see an old lady walk into the street. Tires screech and…oh my God…she has been hit by a car! You rush to her side, call for emergency services and comfort her until the pros arrive. Quick question: During that time, how much of your energy did you devote to your own personal problems like your impending electric bill?  I’m guessing zero.

Service to others is the best way to re-direct.
Those are only a few ways to get you back on track. In upcoming blogs, I’ll discuss how making what seems like a completely insane life change often pays off in the biggest way possible. How do I know? I did it myself.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

With gratitude,

Are You Grateful Before,  After or Both?

Let’s face it. Many take the stance that they will be grateful when they have what they desire. To those folks I say there’s a pretty good chance you’ll never see it. You’ve got to be willing to open up, and gratitude opens you to receiving.

The more you sit around moaning and complaining, out in the world or even inside your own head, about what you don’t have, the more you are out of sync with what you do want and in turn the more you push what you want away.

The strange thing about this is that the more you complain, the more your ego-mind can justify complaining, because less and less abundance will show up.

Your ego-mind will likely scream “it’s unfair”, but nevertheless the fact is it’s just your energy in motion, responding to your feelings.

What if, click, in the next moment you found the missing piece for you? Again, I challenge you to open up. The Universe is willing to supply
you with exactly what you need. However…

It’s difficult to get the ocean through a drinking straw.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,
but the parent of all the others.
