To get the competitive edge, to really begin attracting the kinds of opportunities you want and need, that facilitate attaining both “life mastery” and “wealth mastery” there’s certain things you may really need to look at, maybe you could consider starting here…

Do yourself a favor and just sit up and pay attention for the next few minutes. Look, I’m aware that I am about to lead you into a place that may be less comfortable than you might prefer. However,where we’re  going will offer you a shortened path to true affluence. That being said, before we take another step, you will want to know this:

What you want doesn’t exist where you are!

Therefore, you will likely have to crawl out your “comfort zone” and cross the “dis-comfort zone” to get the quantum leap in consciousness that brings you your desired future.

Here’s the truth of it…

Part of you has been holding onto something that another part of you actually wants to let go of.

Can you feel that?

Well, until you let go, you are very unlikely to experience that quantum consciousness leap you so deeply desire.

Most people have had the experience of feeling the frustration grow within as the pressure to get somewhere on time quickly slips away. It is a fairly universal anxiety, we can all relate to, but for most of us, not one that requires the need of medication to get through.

There again that is not always true and for some people their medication is literal and obvious. As I’m sure you are aware, some people for example have an anxiety disorder for which they take a prescribed medication. While for others, the medication they use for “what ails them” is less obvious, because what they use to control it can be quite socially acceptable. Sadly, many of us who have used more socially acceptable medications may have frowned upon those who use ones that are not so acceptable.

Maybe you’ll recognize this example…

The workaholic often claims to be committed to providing a better life for their family. Sadly, it is often a family they are not really a part of, due to the work schedule they keep. As I’m sure you can see, if this person stopped medicating themselves with work they would have to feel and deal with the real issues they get to avoid by working.

Does that make sense?

To be absolutely clear, there are numerous ways to medicate yourself both socially frowned upon ones, and socially acceptable ones;

food, TV, compulsive cleaning, volunteering, alcohol, religion, sex, sports … and the list goes on.

None of these can I say are categorically “bad” in and of themselves, although when they are used to avoid dealing with issues in our lives, we are actually using them to medicate against pain.

In other words, whatever you are doing, consciously or unconsciously, to avoid undesirable feelings is the “medication” in your life.

Feelings that are not dealt with become repressed, and
what we repress controls us.

At this point, you may be internally (or externally screaming), “my behavior is not medication!” However, the ego-mind is a liar and that’s who’s doing the screaming.

No matter how nice, good or right a behavior may seem – if it enables you to avoid certain areas of your life, it is a medication!

And whether you believe it or not doesn’t change the fact that, long term it can be every bit as destructive as hard drugs.

Please feel free to reblog and share this post.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

With gratitude, Dov…

From the hallway I could hear the muffled sound of the TV in the other room. Curiosity pulled me into that room to find my mother watching our old black and white set. I glanced at the set where I saw a man I didn’t recognize speaking in a way that commanded my attention.  As compelling as this man was, there was something else going on in that room that had an even stronger pull… my mother.

Looking over at my mom I saw her dislodge her glasses upwards as she wiped a steady stream of tears from her eyes. I had seen my mother cry many times. To be honest at that point in our lives there seemed to be an abundance of reasons for my mom to be in tears, but this was different.

As a ten year old boy seeing my mother cry was something that always disturbed me. I walked over, put my hand on my mom’s shoulder and in an attempt to comfort her I asked what was wrong. Looking up at me, she tried to smile but it clearly wasn’t working. She stumbled for words and pointed at the TV saying: “He’s dead?” I looked back at the set and the powerful charismatic presence of Martin Luther King Jr. rang out like a bell in the fog.

I was a boy living in a ghetto environment of a dirty industrial town in England, I had no idea why my mother would be crying about a man I didn’t think I’d ever seen before. I didn’t recognize him as a movie star, a pop star or even a British politician. Why was she crying? In my boyish naivety I asked “who is he?” My mom said; “that’s Martin Luther King, someone shot him.” I was still puzzled. My mom continued through a flood of tears and said; “He was a great man, and now he’s dead”.

I became fascinated with finding out who this man had been. I asked my uncle who I considered to be the smartest person I knew and he told me of Martin Luther King’s fight for civil rights; how Dr. King had followed Gandhi’s model of peaceful demonstrations. He told me of all the people black and white people alike who had stood by Dr. King’s side for the civil rights of all people.

April 4^th 1968 was the day I not only became politically aware, it was the day something within my very soul was awakened. I began to grasp the difference this man had made, the impact he had left as a legacy, not just for black people but for all people. That day I began to understand that one person can make a massive positive difference. That day as a naive 10 year old I decided that I wanted to have the same kind of massively powerful impact on humanity that Dr. King had had on humanity, including my mother a Jewish woman living in a place that might have been a million miles away.

I of course, had no idea how I could make that difference; and to be honest, it seemed impossible based on the “facts” of who I was and the environment that surrounded me. I just knew that day that something within me had changed and it would never be the same.

Many people have seen Dr. King’s message as a message about freedom for black people. To me, his message was much deeper than color or creed. It was about the understanding that we are all the same, that at a soul level we are all on a journey, and it’s important to remove the blocks to our spiritual, mental, and emotional evolution. Although we may perceive those blocks as being outside ourselves, the truth is that they would all instantly disappear if we would commit to removing the ones on the inside.

40 plus years ago something tragic happened, a great man, a man who will remain a giant, died. I still see some of the injustices he fought against. However, that tragic event gave birth to a flood of awaking and opportunities that has changed the world.

Dr. King’s message is, I believe, even stronger today than it was in the 60’s. Today is Martin Luther King day, it’s a day we can be sad for the loss of a great man, or a day we can rejoice for the difference he made that we benefit from, no matter what our colour or creed is. Martin Luther King the man is gone.  However, I believe it is the strength of our heart’s desire to become the magnificent beings we were born to be that keeps taking this world, (despite what the media feeds us), to a place of knowing, what I believe Dr King was trying to teach us… we are all one. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can separate us from the truth of who we truly are, not racial profiling, not extremists of any colour or religious belief, not even war. Because who we truly are is… A gift!

Remember this always:

You are a gift from the universe, and when you are truly willing to know it, you will become the gift to THE world that you were born to be.

When you let yourself truly know this, then it that moment you are, I believe, keeping Martin Luther King’s Dream Alive

Happy Martin Luther King Day.

Long live Dr. Martin Luther King, in all our hearts, minds, and actions.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.

With gratitude, Dov…

I was recently in Bali and I’m sharing some video’s blogs with you.

Take a look, leave me your comments and tell your friends as I’ll be adding more over the next few weeks.

Here’s Lesson #1 from Bali, enjoy….

How people have you met since “the Secret” phenomenon who are bitching and moaning about how what they asked for just doesn’t show up?

Is that really true, or do they actually get exactly what they asked for and they can’t even see it?

Manifestation is not some magical process where the universe reads your mind and knows ‘what you really mean by that.”

Listen, you, me, no one, can manifest specifics with a general request.

Stay with me here because I really want you to have what it takes for you to have what you want to want you. Like I just said; no one, can manifest specifics with a general request, so you need to specifically know what it is that you want in every detail.

Once you have specifically outlined what it is that you want, then you can begin designing a plan to achieve it. In the words on one of my songs from the album “Resonantions” (available on iTunes) “Get Clear.”  Please pay attention here because I have a warning for you.  The ego-mind may have some challenges with your actually achieving that outcome and it may try to sabotage you by whispering stuff in your ear that will take you off target. So to make sure you stay on target I implore you to keep a success journal, ( like the one that comes with EFM Audio Tech) and monitor your progress.

DO NOT change what it is you are going for until you achieve it. That way you can acknowledge your success. I can’t over stress the importance of this. If you keep changing your desired outcome, how will you ever know when you achieve it? Make sense?

To achieve truly living in and from a place of abundance, what you desire cannot remain something you’d merely like….

How many times have you heard people watch someone do something say, “I’d really like to do that.” Then that same person walks away and you know as well as I do that they will never do anything about they say they’d “like to do.”

To bring whatever it is that you want into your life, you must develop an insatiable hunger for it.

That means, for a while, it’s all that matters. You vigilantly watch the ego-mind; you refuse to be taken off track. You know your direction and you will allow nothing to move you from it.  At that point, all obstacles are viewed as challenges to be overcome, with each one giving you a renewed sense of focus. You meet difficulties with the mindset that there’s always a way to overcome them, and moreover, you are committed to finding it. You approach, go through and attend to your outcome without the option of griping or complaining. You keep moving forward, you make it a “must” and as a result it will happen. Guaranteed!

That being said, the obvious question is “What do you want?”

I look forward to meeting you in person during 2010.

With Gratitude,

Dov…

Okay, the party is over and we’re all back at work, now what?

Do we get back in the groove that sets the rut? Or do we set in motion a locomotion of unstoppable resolve?

Now that the door of 2010 has opened do you find yourself hiding in a corner afraid of what’s on the way? Are you there at the brink ready to bolt over the line, feeling your foot come down into the certainty of where you will ride this Tiger of a year, because you have, in advance, taken the time to decide the direction of your 2010 .

Almost everyone gets some level of excitement at the prospect of a New Year, (even if it’s just as a reprieve from the last one). However; entering into anything with merely “hope”, Is a lot less than a plan for success.

What are your Goals and commitments for 2010 ?  Whether your goals and commitments are in the areas of finances, health and fitness, career, or relationships, the question worth asking yourself is: Do you actually want to fulfil yours this year? What if there was a simpler, effortless way to do that?  What if it were as easy as listening to some CDs and writing down your goals? Would you do it?

Before you say it could not possibly be that easy, know this:

You’re Right!

It doesn’t matter how many times you put my Resonating Riches CD program, or EFM Audio Technology or for that matter any program into the CD player, just listening is not ever going to be enough!

But part of what gets in the way of people’s success is that they come to believe that accomplishing goals has to be hard, it has to hurt . However, as thousands have experienced before you, with the right guidance, it could be a heck of a lot easier.

keep reading and you’ll understand how and why…

I want to help you keep your Goals and Commitments this year and avoid the disillusion that comes from setting half-assed goals that don’t really matter, and in fact stand in the way of your complete authentic and joyous success.

As I’ve spoken about in other posts and at some of my leadership programs: It is important to pay attention to our rituals . Much of what we do, we do ritualistically. We do things over and over again and we do them to invoke an outcome . Whether that outcome is a change in our mind state that leads to a hangover or one that leads to greater and greater levels of success , all rituals are about invoking a “preferred state change” either within ourselves or our reality.

There are personal and societal rituals that we make personal. One of those society rituals has been to set “New Years Resolutions .” The purpose of which has been to invoke that “preferred state change” either within ourselves or our reality.

Sadly, all too often many people think that their looks, talents and simply making the resolution will be enough to propel them to higher ground. All too often these are the people whose ”wishful thinking” will have them do little more than splutter over the starter line.

The fact is: Nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals brimming with talent.

If you have ever set a New Years Resolution or Goals or you know people who have, you are probably wondering: Why do so many people fail when it comes to fulfilling their Goals and New Years Resolutions?

The #1 Reason: First and foremost without even realizing it… Most people are setting goals that are not their own!

I can not make this more simple and I know it seems obvious: Whatever goals or resolutions you set for 2010 make sure they are your own!

Quite simply, take a minute or two and really question your goals… Are they really about you, (who you really are)?  Or are they the goals you are setting in order to be liked a little more by your brothers, sisters, friends, bosses, peers, or even mom and dad?

(By the way, to your ego mind approval is golden, so anyone’s approval will do).

The fact is, anyone can come up with a set of goals that sound right. But it’s worth checking with yourself to truly find out if they are goals aimed at getting approval rather than truly making you happy.

If you are unconsciously setting goals that are not in resonance with who you really are, you are likely to find a way to not reach them or at the very least sabotage the process of reaching them.

A few years ago I was working with a guy we’ll call Paul. Paul at that time was a successful corporate Vice President , who had a goal to buy a particular model of a new Mercedes .

I helped him to get absolutely clear on the specifics of what he wanted: model, year, color of both the exterior and interior and many other details that would make it absolutely real for him. By the time we were done, he could describe the exact sound the air made as it left when the car door closed.

Paul’s ’goal’ was to get the car by March 1st. This was something that was a stretch, but with everything in place it was definitely doable.  March 1st came and went, as did the entire month, and then April and May. When I asked him why he thought he had not manifested what he wanted, he gave me a long list of what he called ‘reasons’ and I called ‘excuses’.

My statement to him was that ‘it’ (the car), clearly didn’t matter enough to him. If it did, he would have done whatever it took to have gotten the car. Paul wanted to argue about it, until I asked him the question I’m now asking you:

Who’s approval do you make up you will get by achieving this goal?

t was like I’d slapped Paul in the face with a wet cod . He was stunned by the list of names that fell out of his mouth. There was a guy at work who had made a snide comment about how he thought Paul was doing better than to be driving what he was presently driving. There was his dad, who had always wanted a Mercedes but had never been able to afford one. There was even some woman he had the hots for ten years ago; she thought Mercedes were sexy.

Do you get it?

Sure, Paul ‘liked’ Mercedes and he certainly wouldn’t mind driving one. But, in truth, there was no genuine passion there ; it was not something that mattered enough to him. The reason Paul didn’t manifest what he ‘desired’ was there was no personal juice to fuel what it would take to bring that thing into his life.

Paul, like most people, had unconsciously set a goal that was more about ‘what other people would think’ than it was about what he truly, soulfully wanted .

If you’re on a few “Self-Help” lists, you’re probably getting a lot of input on how to ‘properly’ set goals for 2010. I am sure they are all full of great stuff, but here are the basics: It is important to have a goal written down. Goals in your head tend to mutate into things that, A) we will never reach or B) we’ll just settle for.

In the words of Mark Victor Hansen (co-author of the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series)

“Don’t Just Think It, Ink It!”

Listen, this coming year, I predict , will be a defining year for so many people. I believe It will be a year where you will need a better plan, more commitment and a heck of a lot more flexibility . For that reason it is equally important to make your goals and resolutions totally and absolutely have deep personal meaning . When you make that goal or resolution, be specific!

Go into the details , get all your senses involved … What would it look like , sound like, smell like, taste like, feel like to touch , and most important of all what would it feel like, to have ‘it’ in your life?

Whatever your goals are, ask yourself:

• What would my life look like having met this goal?
• Having met this goal what do I hear around me?
• What do I smell?
• What is the taste in my mouth?
• What am I touching now that lets me know I have fulfilled the outcome of my goal?
• What does it feel like to know I have become what I had a goal of becoming?

Now that I’ve given you some of the reasons why so many people fail at achieving their goals , let’s get into the next powerful tip that make achieving your goals a certainty:

Take out a sheet of paper, (I find there is a deeper emotional connection when we write by hand).

Write down as many reasons as you can about “why” you deeply want this specific goal.

What is it that makes having this in your life so important to you?

If you can’t get emotionally charged by what it is you are going for, chances are you will find a way to NOT get it!

It is this directed emotion that sets up the quantum resonance wave that draws to you every opportunity to fulfill your desire . The drive to keep going, to accomplish your goal or resolution is not in the thing itself, it’s the “reasons why” that will power you through the obstacles, (and make no mistake, there will be obstacles.)

Whether it’s personal , business , health, relationship , make the goal specific, and emotionally charged , because that’s what creates compelling goals that pull you towards what you want and what you want towards you!

Having gone through this Goals Blueprint let me ask you to remember:
Whatever you dream of having in life… more money, more romantic and fun relationships, a booming business or fulfilling career… whatever it is… start your journey today toward making your New Years Goals a reality in 2010.

Start now!

Take out your pen and paper and begin applying what I’ve given you in this blueprint that Makes Achieving Your Goals a Certainty .

Thanksgiving; a wonderful opportunity to return to gratitude…  Love is Gratitude in Action

Isn’t it strange that we need an actual holiday to remind us to be thankful?

I know that many of you who read my articles don’t live in the US and for many, where you live there is no such holiday as ‘Thanksgiving’.  However, wherever you are in the world, please accept my gratitude as you read on you’ll know why I’m specifically talking to you .

I know that at this time of year you’re probably pretty busy however,  I think you will see that by investing a few minutes to read this article will prove well worth your time.
No matter what country you are living in, right now, let me ask you to be honest and answer this question:

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

I’m sure you’ve noticed that very day there seems to be a million new things to do, every day it can seem difficult to slow down enough so you can catch a little down time.  Maybe you turn on the TV to unwind, only to once again be assaulted with the news of doom and gloom.

Most of the time, most people are running around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, while feeling less and less connected, to themselves or anyone else.
The result is that most people are running on empty!
So, in a crazy hectic world what can we do to fill up a little?

Right now let me challenge you to STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.

There is a wonderful ‘new’ movement of interest in manifestation.
Perhaps you have read about it in my books or have heard me talk about it either at a workshop, my podcasts or in a tele-program: Quantum Resonance energy is the necessary ingredient for manifestation.  Well, one of the most powerful quantum energies for manifestation is gratitude.

Okay, you need to stop skimming for a moment and really take this in, because by gratitude I mean genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection. In other words, delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory…”thanks“.

Recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it does not have to be built on guilt or the complacency of ; ‘I don’t have the right to ask for more, I’m so much better off than those less fortunate’.

Genuine appreciation can come from stopping and considering all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted; the smile on a child’s face as they say ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’ to you.

Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing. Being able to breath and smelling the flowers or even coffee.

How about gratitude for having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do.  Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you.  Receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.

I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and I want to stop and say:

This Thanksgiving and everyday, I am grateful for you… Yes, I am talking to you!

If you’ve been following my work at all you already know that I have a dream…

My dream is to raise consciousness. Now you may be saying; “what the heck does that mean?”

Raising consciousness means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that they are truly powerful, that you have the power to create the life that your heart and soul cries out to live.

I am truly grateful to you because through you I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission. You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstoppable team are the fuel that moves me forward. I know that I am the voice of something bigger than myself and you carry that voice

out into the world and in so doing, share in my mission, my dream, my purpose.  I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!

I am grateful to you…You, who are committed to growth. You, who are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity. You, who stand up and fight to be free, even from the prison of your mind.

I believe that the education we offer at Baron Mastery Institute is a way out of the mental emotional jails we can lock ourselves in.

Thank you for inspiring me with your feedback, emails, phone calls, photos,  testimonials, courage, vulnerability and your stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received from us at Baron Mastery Institute.

I love taking the time to read and hear them all. They are all fuel in my tank to keep going.

Your work on yourself and your support of our collective mission keeps me believing we can raise the consciousness of this magnificent planet.

Thank you to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration: Renuka.
Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.
Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter, you have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled…thank you!
May I suggest that once a year, maybe right now:

Take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that, I would suggest that you  go and buy some thank you cards and write notes of gratitude. At least send an email or make a phone call to those people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss written words).

Someone said to me once “it must be wonderful to touch all these people’s lives”.  My reply was and still is that it is wonderful, however, what is equally wonderful is that you touch mine just as much.

Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.
I look forward to meeting you for the first time or seeing you again soon.

Remember; nothing can crush you unless you allow it…
Aspire to greatness for that is your true nature!
Your value far outweighs your circumstances.

With my love and sincere gratitude,
Dõv…

P.S. I look forward to reading your comments and feedback.

P.P.S. If you found this message valuable, feel free to send this to your friends.

Earlier this week I posted a status on FaceBook that got some very interesting responses.

If you are on Facebook I’m sure you’ll agree that Facebook in its self is a rather fascinating ‘place’ or phenomena.

Originally, when certain people tried to get me on FB, I was resistant and now I have more than a couple of thousand ‘friends’. However, the question I have is do our FB ‘friends’ really know us? Do they even care about who we are, what matters to us, or even what we do?

When I posed the original question on FB so many of my  FB ‘friends’ shared wonderful kind words that touched my heart. I am so grateful to those who replied to my FB status question… I feel enormously honoured to be seen by you all and I deeply value our relationship. What was fascinating was that there were many people who I feel I know well who did not write anything, (of course they may never have seen my question). Just as surprising were all the wonderful comments I got from people I did not even know.
Many years ago I gave a presentation on: “Friends, when to hold them, when to fold them.” I like to share with you a portion of that presentation and you can let me know what you think and feel.

We have all heard people speak of ‘fair weather friends’. These are the people who are your friend in good times.  It is said that when you hit hard times ‘fair weather friends’ will move out faster than bugs from a burning mattress. Clearly it makes sense that if a friend is only there for the good times this isn’t much of a friend.

What I want to share with you are some other kinds of friends you may want to pay attention to, in particular ‘bad weather friends’. I know you’ve been told that real friends will stick with you in times of trouble, and although that is true there is a certain type of friend who is only really there for you in your bad times.

You can probably remember a time when you were in a crappy relationship and this particular friend was right there for you. They told you that s/he is a fool to let you go.  Or maybe you can remember a time when you were in serious financial ‘doo-doo’, and that certain friend was once again, right there for you, telling you that ‘they’ just don’t see your talents and skills.  In fact the worse things get the closer this kind of friend is. I can almost hear you say; “well what’s wrong with that?”

It’s not that there is something wrong with it, in fact I would agree that a ‘real friend’ would be there for you in such times.  As much as I highly suggest that you be in full gratitude for those who are genuinely there for you in such times of challenge. That being said; we may want to examine this kind of relationship with at least the same level of inquiry as that of a ‘fair weather friend’.

In the case of a ‘fair weather friend’ it’s pretty easy to see why the person is your friend, but have you ever considered why a ‘bad weather friend’ might be hanging out? Just as you might notice a ‘fair weather friend’ fade into the distance during tough times, a ‘bad weather friend’ will disappear during the good times, (particularly if the good times last).

At this point you may be wondering why a ‘bad weather friend’ would go away in good times, well the answer may surprise you. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying:

Misery Loves Company

There will always be these type of people in your life because at either a conscious or unconscious level they find that you being in the crapper allows them to feel better about themselves. A ‘bad weather friend’ is incredibly supportive when you are down however, when you are up, you are seen as a threat. They my even use the kind of language that will tell you what kind of friend they really are.  If they say:  “when you become successful, find a lover, get promoted, (or any other kind of status change) you won’t want to be around me anymore.” This is the language of a ‘bad weather friend’.

Good friends, real friends, are there for you in both the good and the bad times. When things are tough they will hold you and tell you what’s great about you. However, when you are wallowing they will kick your ass to get you going if that’s what it takes. This same good friend will be overjoyed for your success in any given area. They want the best for you even if it means that for you to be truly happy and fulfilled they could lose out.

Real friends want you to become all that you are at that soulful level of fulfilling your potential.

A real friend would rather walk away than support you playing small.

A real friend will lift you up so that you can describe the view ahead and in turn inspire them to go to the next level.

I said earlier that Misery Loves Company, well so does Joy! So…

Get yourself around those who are playing big in all areas, especially joy!

I am a blessed man in more ways than I can say here. However, one way I know this for certain is I am surrounded by “Real Friends”. Some I have known for years, some I have known for moments. Some are blood family, some are spiritual family. Some I have hugged and kissed with deep affection, some I know only via the electronic world of this blog, our members site at BaronMasteryUniversity.com, and some even through Facebook and Twitter.

However, we know each other, I thank you for being more than a ‘fair weather friend’ or a ‘bad weather friend’.

I am deeply grateful for each of you who lift me up upon your shoulders to shine a light out into the world.

Thank you for celebrating my success, and telling everyone you know about what I teach.

I look forward to your comments and feedback.
With sincere gratitude,  Dov…

P.S. I deep enjoyed the FaceBook responses, so I  have copied my question and some of the responses below as I thought you’d enjoy the wise and sometime funny insights:

My Question: Are we friends? If you do consider me a friend, please tell me why that is.

• Alexander Kozupytsya
  I heard a lot of good things about you plus you like Tom Jones! They say you’re the new Anthony Robbins….the self help buffs!

• Danielle-Nicole Lareau
  Because..you are me..and I like who you are..pure love and compassion my friend…ciao for now Dani

• Andrea Lachner.  Facebook (and My Space and Twitter LOL) has opened a whole new world to us – we can become ‘friends’ with people we’ve never met (and possibly never will meet) in person. Not to mention people in completely different time zones. Why do I become ‘friends’ with someone like you? Because you are inspiring!!! And I am always keen to read what you have for us to read & think about.
  I have learnt along the way that there are many different type of friends in our lives. There’s the ones that will always be in your life no matter where in the world we each end up. There are the ones that are friends to you only when they need you or when you yourself need them. Which is a paradox to the saying that some people are your friends only in the good times – yup, I know of people that are only your friend in bad times – weird huh? But nevertheless, every person we meet (in person or these days in cyberspace) has something to offer to our lives in some way or another.
  The word ‘friend’ has many more meanings and levels to it than just one or 2 words
  My 2 cents worth this early in the morning (for me) LOL…

  I love you Dov because you are kind and considerate, but also, you have a backbone and stand up for the truth, you are gentle and honest.

• Rosally Saltsman
  Yes. A friend is someone you trust, who possesses qualities you admire, who shares things in common with you and with whom you feel an emotional or spiritual chemistry. A friend is someone whom you feel you can grow through or with and help them to grow as well. It isn’t unusual in today’s technology or higher spiritual awareness to have friends you’ve never met. It’s just hard to have friends you never see.

• Kim Dushinski… Yes, I consider you a friend because you have gone dog walking with me more times than you know. (Via my MP3 player, of course).

• Natalie Gibson
  Because you are who you are and you’re not afraid to show it, because you’re continually pushing your own growth at an exponential rate, because you are profoundly integral with yourself and with others, because you don’t bullshit me with social nice disease and because we laugh and have fun together. simple, really.

• Naseem Rahman
  We are born into our families and we are related to them by blood. Yet, there are some people who enter our lives for a reason and they become a part of our family, leaving a lasting impression on our lives. You are one such person in my life, Dov. You are my friend, my mentor,my guide and the voice of reason for me when the chips are down & I … feel cornered in a dark place. You are God’s gift to this universe, making it a better place to live. May the light of your enlightenment spread to places afar …You are simply the BEST….with Love Naseem

I see you, you are me…

What I see can only be a reflection of me

If I want to make you wrong it is because I fear that I am

If I put you down, it is because I fear seeing what I have turned my back on within myself

You are always and only the mirror of what I love or dislike about myself

When I am willing to see this, I am finally willing to embrace that we are one, this is the root of all compassion

What do you believe is stopping you from having more  Power, Passion, Prosperity and Purpose?

Many years ago, I remember working with a client who was on the very brink of making a quantum leap in her finances.
This lady had this wonderful idea which we had worked on and really refined. She took the project by the reigns, did the leg work, did the research, and then found the investors.

The excitement was building, and with, her dreams started to get bigger. Finally the negotiations were over, the deal was done. All that was left to do was getting a signature, and then suddenly, it all started to go south. You may be wondering: Why?

In an instant this person started to talk herself out of doing the very thing she’d been dreaming of doing for years.
Why would anyone do that you ask… Simple answer, FEAR!

Maybe you can relate… Have you had that experience, where you were just about to get what you want…and towards the end you let fear take over?

Over the last year, the media has been feeding us some very sticky  “stuff” around how there’s not going to be enough, (of anything, especially money). Let’s face it, they did a wicked job in convincing the majority of people that the current economy was in the toilet, and about to be flushed. Every five minutes the media tells us about the high unemployment rate, closures and credit crisis just to name a few. If you start buying into these media messages, it’s easy to start creating fears around your ability to create real abundance and true wealth and this of course will keeps us stuck!

One certain way to predict your future is to live in fear!

Because If You Fear It, It Will Come!

Here’s what’s interesting for me: Many of the people I know in business, did indeed start off the year with some adjustment needed in how they did business. However, every single one of the people that I know who have made changes that can now see needed to be changed earlier, are now, less than a year later, doing brilliantly. What’s the difference between them and the average guy or gal? They were willing to change and adjust what was no longer working.

Those who adjust the fastest make the most.

They didn’t wait to adjust. Here’s what is equally interesting…Even though they adjusted, not one of them backed off on their investment in themselves or their business.

So the question becomes:

Have you, consciously or unconsciously, cut back on investing in yourself and your business in order to fulfill the prophecies of the media?

Listen, they don’t run your life, unless you let them. Take back the reigns, do what you know you must do. Master your own “Attracting Force”.

Your Attracting Force is what unconsciously determines not only what you attract but also what you repel.

Mastering your Attracting Force gives you your personal keys to your Power, Passion, Prosperity and Purpose. My Attracting Force™ program is a system that will turn those keys and unlock your new affluent future for you!

If you’ve not attended yet, what are you waiting for? You will love it.  Look, if you have been reading this blog, or listening to my podcasts, you know I’m all about empowering you to the highest levels of what I call the full spectrum of success…. Affluence in your finances, your health, your relationships and the resonance that you put forth. Because, as you know, if you are familiar with  my work, we all need to raise the consciousness of the planet, and you are an important part of that.

In case you’re interested in finding out more. The Attracting Force™ program gets you Building True Wealth & Abundance From The Inside Out, applying the practical science of affluence.

Staying on Track:
Give yourself at least a moment everyday to stop and fully deeply imagine yourself smiling with calm confidence as you become immune to the negativity of others scurrying around in confused panic over their finances.
Right now ask yourself:

What will my life be like at the next level?

Fear is one the biggest blocks between you and the success you desire, right? So again; stop for a moment and allow yourself to ask yourself:

What would happen if I were able to destroy my fear?

Just so you know, when you attend the Attracting Force™ program you will completely crush your 3 biggest fears… Guaranteed!

Can you imagine how unstoppable you’ll be with your fears out of the way?

Let yourself imagine how that would impact the quality of your relationships, the quality of your health, and of course, the quality of your finances!

Honestly, Attracting Force™ gives you the competitive edge without losing your soul!

Whatever you decide to do, remember that;

Those who adjust the fastest and invest in themselves the most are the ones who will receive the greatest levels of Power, Passion, Prosperity, and Purpose.

I look forward to your feedback and comments.
Until next time, live with courage, Dov…

P.S. If you want to find out about the Attracting Force™ event, go take a look at: http://www.attractingforce.com

A traveler who had traveled over a long period of time and a great distance, came to sit at the feet of a wise sage.  Finally receiving the gift of being with the sage the traveler in that wonderful moment realizes he is being granted the rare gift of being able to ask the sage absolutely any question the traveler wishes to ask.

In reverence, the traveler took  a seat, calmed himself and his breathing.  In a moment that resonated pure peace, the sage softly asks;  “Of what do you wish to know?  What question do you wish to have answered that will bring more joy, ease, enlightenment and love into your life?”

The traveler, taking in a deep breath replies: “How can I be happier?” Because our traveler was genuine in his question, the sage sat quietly for a moment, and in his wisdom, the sage explained that question was vague, in that it was a general and the correct answer is completely dependent upon the mood and situation the traveler finds themselves in, in any given moment.

The sage offered to guide the traveler into a more specific question. The traveler understood and indeed asks a more specific question, to which the sage answered a deeply wise answer.

Sadly, the traveler did not like the answer given, and stated something similar to: “That won’t work for me”.

The sage seeing the struggle and pain in the eyes of the traveler and redirects the traveler until the traveler has an answer that goes straight to the heart of the matter.

The traveler is deeply grateful and walks away holding in his mind this cherished gift.

Two years go by and the traveler returns to the feet of the sage asking the same question.  Sadly, the traveler like so many who had sat before the sage had done nothing with the gift received and two years later the traveler is still lost, still complaining about the same problem.

We are all travelers in need of answers. In my last post I suggest that…

The right question at the right moment can be like being given a secret key to the knowledge you have always wanted and needed.

There are other factors to be considered when it comes to the power of questions and just like the traveler in our story we must ask ourselves:

• Are You Clear About What You Want To Know? (A vague question almost always will result in a less than satisfying answer)

• Are You “Truly” Willing To Hear The Answers? (All to often people ask questions of themselves or others that they don’t want to hear an honest opinion about)

• What Are You Willing To Do With The Answer’s You Get? (Sometimes people ask questions as a form of intellectual stimulus rather than genuine guidance)

I’m preparing for “First Access” which starts on Friday Evening. To attend live, details are at

Until next time live with courage, Dov…
