One of my favorite seminars, The Millionaire Mind Intensive is going to be in Chicago February 22nd thru 24th. I have encouraged many to go to this weekend intensive because it transforms you from the inside out. Although the premise is about changing your financial blueprint, it is about so much more.

I received a comment/question today from someone I referred that prompted me to write some thoughts down. The person had just gotten their confirmation and saw the times for the seminar and asked:

I don’t understand why anyone who is healthy and self respecting would stay in a conference from 9am to ll pm two days straight.  This is very unappealing to me.  Can you offer some thoughts?

I have received this same reaction before and know there are more out there thinking the same exact thing.

I thought the best way to approach it is to talk about the top five things that I truly appreciate about the long hours and tight schedule.

1. Having very long hours over three days means that I don’t have to take a whole week off of work to get this really great information. Think about this…over the three day weekend you will get close to 40 hours of life changing instruction, and you only had to take one day off of work to get it in!

2. Having an entire three day stretch consumed with learning how I can change leaves me little to no room for distractions. I get to stay focused on the subject at hand, be immersed in it and take it all in.

3. When captivated by the subject matter, I don’t notice the time passing by.

4. I have plenty of time to meet other like minded people.

5. I love the fact that going to seminars that are this long (which are actually very common) are a great reminder to me to take care of myself and that I am the only one responsible for my comfort. I make sure that I have a sweater or two in case the room is cold, a water bottle to refill and stay hydrated, a whole food bar or two in my purse in case I need a snack and it’s not break time yet, etc.

Now, only you will know if the seminar is right for you to go to. Check in with how you feel. A major thing to note is that this seminar is not for someone that needs to be coddled or have things sugar coated. This is pure tell it like it is interaction. The main question I have for you is do you want to learn how to think like a millionaire or do you want to stay broke the rest of your life? It’s your choice. This seminar is simply one tool that I have found to be very effective in expanding your abundance in all areas of your life.

I’m happy to announce that the conversion of our blog from B2Evolution to WordPress went relatively smoothly. Some of the more exciting upgrades is that we now have podcast and video capabilities, so you can look forward to seeing and hearing more of us in the near future.

Thanks to everybody (you know who you are) for your support, encouragement and patience!

It’s true - you ARE worthy, you ARE valuable, and you DO deserve all the best things in life.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Today we are having our first snow fall of the season, and I’m happy about it. Interestingly enough I’m a little amazed that I just typed that. In the past, I have not appreciated snow that much – or even at all. I considered it a four letter word not to be mentioned in my presence.

Today, for the first time in many years, I am looking at it with fresh eyes. Rather that focus on what I don’t like about snow like cold weather, slush, etc. I’m appreciating the beauty of the big fluffy flakes floating outside of my window. I also have tremendous gratitude for the things that protect me from the harsher elements of nature.

Once you start appreciating and expressing gratitude for one thing it starts to spiral into a gratitude fest. Well my gratitude fest, hmm or feast per se, started when I woke this morning and said to Chris Happy National Gratitude Day! I quickly started thinking of all the things that I am grateful for and you, the collective you of all the people I’m connected with, came to mind. Chris mentioned it was snowing and instead of my knee jerk cringe when I hear those words, it didn’t even faze me. You see, all I could think of was how much I appreciate having each and every one of you in my life.

So to you, I say thank you for being here. Thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for providing joy or contrast into my world. Thank you for being a part of what I do to create more joy in my life. And thank you for being my first serving in my gratitude feast for today.

So now, what about you? What are you going feast on during this national day of gradtitude we know as Thanksgiving? What will nourish your soul on this day? Will it be the abundance around you? The love you give and get? How about the joy that you’ll be enveloped in? I know I’m going to go back for seconds and thirds of all those delicious morsels.

I’d love to hear about what you’re feasting on today and how it nourished your soul. Please comment. I’d love to hear from you.

May today and everyday be filled with abundance, joy and love!

Yours in gratitude,
Lena

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. - Henry Ford

Know precisely what you want and keep your eyes on the ball. You cannot find what you are not looking for.

Last night I had an experience that was a good reminder for me.

While working on a project I decided to write in my calendar in red marker the countdown in days to the end of the year from 90 down to 1. To my surprise it turns out that I miscalculated when day 90 was – Oct. 3 instead of Oct. 4 – and therefore my countdown to the end of the year was off by a day.

When I saw what I had done, I began to laugh. When you’re setting your intentions and outcomes, you should always ‘begin with the end in mind.’ Having a clear vision of the outcome keeps your eyes on the prize and makes it easier for you to hit your mark. Working backwards from the perspective of your outcome also makes the path to take much more apparent.

Had I started writing the countdown from day 1 – December 31st – and worked backwards to day 90, there would be no way that I would have missed my count – not to mention having a lot less scribble marks on my calendar.

Action cures Fear. Feel the fear and do it anyway.
