			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>In this post, we&#8217;re going to be introducing you to a NEW mentor (we&#8217;ll be interviewing him &#8220;live&#8221; on <strong>March 4th</strong>), via some of our own commentary first. Hang tight&#8230; the Monkey train is now in motion.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, like a lot of SEEMINGLY well-meaning (even though obviously trite) &#8220;goodie two shoes&#8221; phrases that have been inoculated into the <em>conscious psyche</em> over the past several hundred decades, the phrase in the blog post title DESERVES some critique.</p>
<p>So does the fact that some people throw them out there without even realizing the implications of what they&#8217;re saying.</p>
<p>&#8220;Stan,&#8221; we countered in unison, &#8220;that&#8217;s like being in a romantic relationship with another, experiencing some patterns of blame, emotional distance, and one-way communication, yet PRETENDING they don&#8217;t exist (denial) or choosing NOT to discuss them (repressed feelings in progress)  because it&#8217;s all NEGATIVE in your mind.&#8221;</p>
<p>Our question to this community member of ours was: <em>What is your greatest concern about where your future is headed?</em></p>
<p>His response: &#8220;I don&#8217;t discuss negative thoughts.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yup, it was time for another round of GOSS-VALE common sense and whup-ass wisdom.</p>
<p><span id="more-624"></span></p>
<p>====== <span style="color: #000080;"><strong><em>Continued</em></strong></span> =======</p>
<p>Actually, we&#8217;ve been invited (or, inadvertently egged-along by people who set themselves up as an apparent opponent, while refusing to admit that they really want to be) lately to talk OPENLY about a lot of very head-shaking things.</p>
<p>Recently, a teacher and author we&#8217;re trying to get to know better (for the sake of passing along someone your way who stands in alignment with his VALUES and his IMPLEMENTATION of those values) has gone out of his way to explain to us that he [paraphrased] views &#8220;negative thinking&#8221; as the abomination of the world.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s on such a beat about it that he takes it to all kinds of radiating levels.  Like &#8220;<em>critical thinking is the inclination to criticize, and therefore judge things severely negatively.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><strong>Oh, booooooooy&#8230;. here we go again !</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Critical thinking,&#8221; we had to counter using the accepted REAL-WORLD definition of the phrase as our ally, &#8220;does NOT mean &#8216;thinking that is critical&#8217; as in &#8216;trying to find fault&#8217;.  Critical thinking is more related to the other definition of &#8216;critical&#8217;:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Forming or having the nature of a turning point; crucial or decisive: a critical point in the campaign.</em></p>
<p>In other words, it is doing due diligence (DD) over what is essential, what is crucial, or what needs to be investigated in a subject.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-636" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px 7px;" title="see1" src="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/see1.jpg" alt="see1" width="191" height="412" />So, let&#8217;s take the <em>Three &#8220;Wise&#8221; Monkeys</em> and put some DD spin on these little hustlers:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;"><em>&#8220;See no evil&#8230;&#8221;</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The MORE you take the stance of COVERING your EYES</span></strong> to avoid <a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/blog/part-2-manifestings-grand-conspiracy/" target="_blank">Forest Reality</a>, the LESS you&#8217;ll be able to SEE life in full-color mode (ever heard of rose-colored glasses?)</p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;">&#8220;What you see depends on whether you&#8217;re looking at it with blinders or with rose-colored glasses. You&#8217;ve got to see beyond what you&#8217;re looking at.&#8221;  &#8211; <strong><span style="color: #000080;"><em>Linda Carter</em></span></strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Trying to shut out what you don&#8217;t want to see causes you to see things that aren&#8217;t there, based on your own skewed perceptions of what<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> is</em></span>, and to <em>react destructively</em> rather than <em>respond productively</em> when push comes to shove.</p>
<p>Take the example, appropriately enough for today&#8217;s post topic, of the chimp cartoon in the New York Post.</p>
<p>It shows two police officers that have just shot a chimpanzee, while one says, &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #000080;"><em>They&#8217;ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill</em></span></strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p>The cartoon was drawing a parallel to the real-life shooting of a 200-pound chimp in Connecticut; the 15-year-old chimp had been a well-behaved pet for a long time, even appearing in TV commercials, but had suddenly attacked a friend of his owner for no explicable reason.</p>
<p>Tragically, he ended up being shot by a police officer. The New York Post thought it would be a jestful and timely fun-poking to say that the chimp had written the stimulus bill. You know, like if you have 100 monkeys in a room with a bunch of typewriters, one will end up churning out a novel?</p>
<p>So maybe it wasn&#8217;t in good taste to make fun of the poor chimp. After all, he was a loving member of the woman&#8217;s family for many years, and it must have been a devastating experience to her, not to mention the painful injuries suffered by her friend.</p>
<p>But that&#8217;s all it was.</p>
<p>However, some people, especially civil rights activists, claimed it was a racist stab at Barack Obama. The king and protector of any and all suffering from an inferiority complex or being bullied by illusionary bullies, Al Sharpton, went so far as to tell Keith Olbermann, on MSNBC, that [paraphrased]: &#8220;<em>we all know, from a historical perspective, the chimpanzee has always been identified with black people, and since Obama is black..</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>WHAT? !</p>
<p>First of all, Obama is only half &#8220;black&#8221;; and secondly, why the hell do you, Al, defender of the oppressed, need to accentuate such an idiotic juvenile association?</p>
<p>We sat scratching our heads as we first heard about the nutty story, trying to figure out what the kerfuffle was all about. After all, to us, the intention was simply to say how ridiculous the stimulus bill was.</p>
<p>When we finally heard the word &#8220;racist&#8221; from the many professional panels set up to discuss the cartoon on TV, we couldn&#8217;t believe some people would perceive that as being the intent.</p>
<blockquote><p>Today, the New York Post&#8217;s owner, Rupert Murdoch, issued a statement saying: &#8220;<strong><span style="color: #000080;">I have had conversations with Post editors about the situation and I can assure you, without a doubt, that the only intent of that cartoon was to mock a badly written piece of legislation. It was not meant to be racist, but unfortunately, it was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">interpreted</span> by many as such</span></strong>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>And then what happens? </strong></p>
<p>Still more expert panels on TV, discussing how the cartoon couldn&#8217;t possibly have been taken or intended any other way but deliberately racist, and that Murdoch&#8217;s &#8220;apology&#8221; was in fact a further insult to them.</p>
<p>It kind of reminds us of how people will write into our support desk with &#8220;victim vocabulary&#8221;, complaining how a certain product didn&#8217;t magically fix their life, or how a particular offering &#8220;isn&#8217;t for them&#8221; because of their financial or social or other situation.</p>
<p>Then, when the <em>help</em> desk staff appropriately try to <em>help</em> (which often includes pointing out their victimitis approach, or over-the-top reactions, or defensive accusations so that they can overcome those self-defeating patterns), the customers nearly always react by crying, &#8220;Wolf!&#8221; (&#8220;in sheep&#8217;s clothing!&#8221;) and claiming that the support staff is &#8220;rude&#8221;, or &#8220;nasty&#8221;, or &#8220;accusing&#8221;, or &#8220;insulting&#8221; when, in fact, the only person doing all that is themselves (that&#8217;s the ever-so-present &#8220;mirror effect&#8221; in full swing).</p>
<p><em>Intention</em> always overrules <em>perception</em>, and yet some people stubbornly cling to their own perceptions as being the only way things can be. They are blind to any other possibilities.</p>
<p>They are so bent on &#8220;seeing no evil&#8221; that they end up seeing evil where it never was.</p>
<p><span class="mediumtext">Shut your eyes to the world, and you won&#8217;t like what you do end up seeing, because it will appear to you as far worse than it ever really was.<br />
</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;"><em>&#8220;Hear no evil&#8230;&#8221;</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The MORE you take the stance of COVERING your EARS</span></strong> to deafen your mind from the people, news, and counsel who pass along constructive (helpful) criticism, investigative facts, and hard-to-swallow truths &#8212; whether about the world around you or yourself &#8212; the LESS you&#8217;ll be able to HEAR life in Hi-Fi surround sound.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;They [the folks who dig putting their index fingers in each ear and yelling out, 'la, la, da, da, na, na, na... I don't hear you!'] are like the football receiver who doesn’t understand he must land with both feet in bounds for the catch to count. Don’t be negative and tell him that he was out of bounds. They’re like the musician who’ll never make it because she doesn’t want to be told that the notes she’s playing don’t sound good.&#8221; &#8212; <strong><span style="color: #000080;"><em>Our March 4th Simulcast Mentor</em></span></strong> (link below).</p></blockquote>
<p>As we asked the &#8220;Negativity Busting&#8221; teacher, mentioned several paragraphs prior:</p>
<p>&#8220;Are you happier with the phrase &#8216;free thinking&#8217; because &#8216;free&#8217; is a<em> positive </em>word and &#8216;critical&#8217; is a <em>negative</em> word? Well, that&#8217;s your interpretation and perception based on the fact that you have what you see as an ongoing EXCESSIVE battle with negativity.&#8221;</p>
<p>In other words, folks who are adamant about NOT hearing what they deem to be negative (regardless of how 4 out of 5 people could see it as constructive), often end up proliferating the very thing they&#8217;re trying so, so hard &#8212; and putting so, so much energy on &#8212; to avoid.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Our March 4th mentor provides the following definitions</span>:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong><span style="color: #000080;">Law of Attraction</span></strong> &#8212; that which you focus on expands or contracts based upon how you focus on it (his definition)</p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Law of Distraction</strong></span> &#8212; that which you ignore may also expand or contract depending on how you don’t focus on it (also his definition)</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the distinctions the March 4th mentor is talking about, through these definitions, is this:  you ab-so-lute-ly can, and for the sake of expediency and effectiveness, should SIMULTANEOUSLY move towards what you want as you move away from what you don’t want.</p>
<p>Ideally they work in harmony, baby!  Straying from one to molly-coddle the other is a lesson in foolish manifesting.</p>
<p>Yup, it&#8217;s all about where your FOCUS lies, and the meaning you attach to it and for how long.</p>
<p>Those who have a FOCUS (call it a &#8220;foundation&#8221;) of SEEING life with exploratory eyes &#8212; with curiosity, fascination, and appreciation for unvarnished truth &#8212; can ACCEPT, and therefore view a phrase like &#8220;critical thinking&#8221; for what it is. Meaning, instead of pulling it apart in way that&#8217;ll justify their identity for being a &#8220;negativity buster&#8221;, they&#8217;ll SEE the following definition:</p>
<blockquote><p>[ <strong>Def </strong>] &#8220;Inclined to make nice distinctions, or to exercise careful judgment and selection; exact; nicely judicious.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Alright, let&#8217;s move on to the Monkey who loves covering his mouth (where the hell is the banana going? Uhmm, we wonder):</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800000;"><em>&#8220;Speak no evil&#8230;&#8221;</em></span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The MORE you take the stance of COVERING your MOUTH</span></strong> to satisfy societal norms, to not rock the boat, to not stir the pot, to not ruffle feathers (okay, enough analogies?), the LESS you&#8217;ll ever be in a position to effect real change.  Self-expression, whether confronting yourself or your loved ones, can be a very transformational tool when used correctly. Without it, however, you can find yourself &#8220;in secret&#8221; letting emotions boil and self-defeating behavior run rampant.</p>
<p>Can you imagine if you were the ONLY one around who could nudge yourself away from re-creating the same UNWANTED situations over and over?</p>
<p>What if everyone around you believed the more they &#8220;stay quiet&#8221; &#8212; regardless of the incompetency and B.S. swirling around your home, your family, your office, or business &#8212; the better it will get?</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Today, I think most people will agree that our nation is in great peril. Yet, it’s amazing to me how many people are playing &#8216;see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil.&#8217;</p>
<p>It’s amazing how many people are closing the blinds and ignoring what is going on. It’s amazing how many people think that if they &#8216;believe&#8217; nothing bad will ever happen &#8212; that nothing ever will.&#8221;  &#8212; <strong><span style="color: #000080;"><em>Our March 4th Simulcast Mentor</em></span></strong> (link below).</p></blockquote>
<p>We wholeheartedly KNOW (not just believe) that you grow by not falling into the status quo (hey, that rhymes), by keeping things candid, straightforward and refreshingly REAL.</p>
<p>You grow, and help others grow,when you question, when you destruct identities, when you stay away from the molds that come with pre-programmed (often implied) ways to say things a certain way, to BE a certain way (as in &#8220;passive&#8221; and &#8220;unattached&#8221;), or DO things a certain way.</p>
<p><span class="mediumtext"> Step beyond boundaries of what&#8217;s considered normal; lash out at cherished ideals; don&#8217;t be afraid to offend or put your reputation at risk sometimes (i.e., what you feel people will perceive you as by doing a certain thing outside your norm).</span></p>
<p>To us, LIFE isn&#8217;t so much about striving to perfect our ego, or continually evolve into this &#8220;beaming light&#8221; sort of always-happy being, as much as it is being in a state to appreciate little amazing moments and be awake enough to SEE the magical things that are already happening in our lives.</p>
<p>We see enlightenment simply as an &#8220;experience,&#8221; not a permanent way of life. We don&#8217;t feel somebody &#8220;gets&#8221; enlightened like they get a tattoo, get a college degree or get married. Instead, it&#8217;s just an experience. It begins, it ends, and another one takes its place.</p>
<p>So, to end this little (well, long) <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Three Wise Monkeys critical-thinking commentary</span>, here&#8217;s one more insightful quote from our forthcoming mentor:</p>
<p>&#8220;People who automatically associate others who foul as negative, fearful, angry, resentful and so on are acting like the golfer who is totally unaware of the rough, the sand traps, the ponds and the pits &#8212; so he is continually in them.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yup, sometimes borrowing song titles from famous artists is what it takes around here to <em>reel in </em>your attention from all the &#8220;other&#8221; distracting stuff you read online.</p>
<p>Er, well, we&#8217;re not claiming we&#8217;re distracting too (annoying, maybe, but distracting, &#8220;no&#8221;).</p>
<p>So, like Tina Turner, who kept asking us over and over in the &#8217;80s why &#8220;love&#8221; even matters (jeeesh, we told her the answer and she kept asking), we&#8217;re going to annoy you with this question (but, only once):</p>
<p>Does gender &#8212; male, female, transsexual, cross-dresser &#8212; really matter when it comes to getting results from teachers?</p>
<p><span id="more-499"></span></p>
<p>====== <span style="color: #000080;"><strong><em>Continued</em></strong></span> =======</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t care about the specifics of &#8220;who&#8221; or &#8220;what&#8221; the teacher is; we care about the message that comes from the messenger (and&#8230; we also care that the messenger is congruent about delivering that message.  In other words, they <em>walk the talk</em> and practice what they preach).</p>
<p>Now, so far, we haven&#8217;t featured any cross-dressing or transsexual teachers (at least, not that we know about); however, we have interviewed a vast array of both men and women.</p>
<p>And normally, we don&#8217;t give a second thought to their genders.  There is more than enough segregation in this world without dividing up or categorizing our experts based on something as superficial as that.</p>
<p>However, sometimes when we put together an interview package, matching up cohesive messages with each other, we notice that, synchronistically, one gender or the other dominates.</p>
<p>For instance, our <strong><a href="http://renegadegrowthpak.com" target="_blank">Renegade Growth Pak</a></strong> features ALL male mentors.  Does that mean there aren&#8217;t any female teachers who come from a position of &#8220;tough love&#8221; &#8212; i.e., teach from a foundation of irreverent, candid energy that is unmindful of the status quo, and demand their students take self-accountability for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">where their life is now</span>, before moving on to create something dramatically better?</p>
<p>Not at all!  It&#8217;s just that this type of teaching style has <em>so far</em> been primarily presented to us in male form.</p>
<p>Yes, RGP is full of testosterone. No doubt about it&#8230; their brand, their style, their way of getting results lends them to <em>naturally</em> be part of that package.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, it&#8217;s all about the message anyway, NOT the messenger (which is also why we don&#8217;t name those MEN-tors on the sales page, but simply let you know what valuable life-changing lessons you&#8217;ll learn from them).</p>
<p>Similarly, the newest package we&#8217;ve just put together &#8212; the <strong><a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/GR/intuition-cd.html" target="_blank">Intuition CD/MP3 Interview Set</a></strong> &#8212; features two very knowledgeable and insightful <span style="text-decoration: underline;">women</span>.</p>
<p>And in these cases, having taken part in the interviews live on the phone, we can say without reserve that their feminine energy greatly contributed to the power of the content.</p>
<p>Could men have delivered the insights and wisdom we&#8217;re about to share with you just as <em>effectively</em>?  Probably&#8230; but we don&#8217;t know any who would have given MORE impact to the interview topics than Sonia and Terri did.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been quite awhile since we&#8217;ve interviewed two people who know more about the spiritual side of our selves, and how tapping into that can greatly impact our physical selves&#8230; who have a more intuitive nature, or soul-driven insights about reality creation, personal achievement, and no-limits conscious living to share with you.</p>
<p>But this package is only available for a limited time&#8230; so make sure you grab your <strong><a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/GR/intuition-cd.html" target="_blank">Intuition CD/MP3 Interview Set</a></strong> (plus some great bonuses) by <strong><a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/GR/intuition-cd.html" target="_blank">clicking here today!</a></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of the Dog Whisperer&#8230;</p>
<p>But not so likely the Dog Interviewers.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s going to be quite a feat, but on Thur,<strong> Jan. 15th</strong>, 2009, at <strong>9pm EST</strong>, we&#8217;re actually going to put <em>The Pitbull of Personal Development </em>on the hot seat.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-443" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 2px 8px;" title="winget-l" src="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/winget-l.jpg" alt="winget-l" width="200" height="200" />This pitbull is otherwise known as Larry Winget, the bestselling author of titles like <em>Shut Up, Stop Whining And Get A Life: A Kick-Butt Approach to a Better Life</em>, <em>It&#8217;s Called Work For A Reason: Your Success Is Your Own Damn Fault</em>, and <em>You&#8217;re Broke Because You Want To Be: How to Stop Getting By and Start Getting Ahead</em>&#8230; and host of A&amp;E&#8217;s TV reality show, <em>Big Spender</em>.</p>
<p>His latest book has perhaps the harshest title of all: <em>People Are Idiots And I Can Prove It: The 10 Ways You Are Sabotaging Yourself and How You Can Overcome Them</em>.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the deal&#8230; are you really an idiot who&#8217;s broke because you want to be?</p>
<p>And why are we interviewing this guy, anyway?</p>
<p>Well, let&#8217;s answer the second question first&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-435"></span></p>
<p>====== <span style="color: #000080;"><strong><em>Continued</em></strong></span> =======</p>
<p>There are mentors who teach from a &#8220;warm fuzzy&#8221;, &#8220;love and light&#8221; stance.  They&#8217;re all about positive thinking and supportive messaging&#8230; atta-boys and atta-girls all the way.  They say &#8220;Namaste&#8221; a lot, and tell you that you&#8217;re perfect as you are and don&#8217;t need to change a thing.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re kind of like the equivalent of school teachers and elementary coaches who give every child a blue ribbon, &#8220;Just for showing up and giving it your all, gosh-darn it!&#8221;</p>
<p>Okay, that&#8217;s nice and everything.  But we sure hope that our child, Konan, only gets handed blue ribbons when he&#8217;s performed in an outstanding way.  When he truly deserves it.</p>
<p>We don&#8217;t want him to be molly-coddled into mediocrity, thinking that any amount of effort is &#8220;good enough&#8221; to get recognized.  That kind of thinking carries over into adult life as people who expect a pat on the back for taking out the garbage, paying attention to their spouse, or just showing up for work on time.</p>
<p>The other type of mentor believes that you&#8217;re never as good as you could be, you&#8217;ve always got room to learn, grow and develop, and that sometimes you need to be shaken out of your comfort zone in order to move yourself along to a better place.</p>
<p>They believe that being stuck in a rut is a normal human tendency, but that you do have the power to dig your way out &#8212; and even climb over those roadblocks that you&#8217;ll find once you do climb out &#8212; <em>if</em> you truly want to, <em>and if</em> you will be responsible and accountable for your own life.</p>
<p>And we believe that too.  <a href="http://www.lwlwebcast.com" target="_blank">That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re happy to interview Larry Winget, </a><em><a href="http://www.lwlwebcast.com" target="_blank">The Pitbull of Personal Developmen</a>t</em>, and to bring along the mop so you can clean up your crap after you&#8217;ve heard from him, and move on to where you want to be (we won&#8217;t say we&#8217;ll mop up the mess for you though; you&#8217;ve got to do that yourself).</p>
<p>As for the first question&#8230; <strong>are you really an idiot who&#8217;s broke because you want to be?</strong></p>
<p>Well, Larry says you&#8217;re an idiot if you know what you need to do to get ahead, but you don&#8217;t do it. Or if you&#8217;re too lazy to do it, and claim to be just too busy (like any of us <em>aren&#8217;t</em> busy!)</p>
<p>He says you&#8217;re an idiot if you say you want a better relationship with your spouse, but don&#8217;t take the time to pay attention to them or do things they like; you&#8217;re an idiot if you say you want to be a better parent but, like most parents, only spend a few minutes each week in meaningful conversation with your kids.</p>
<p>He says you&#8217;re an idiot if you say you want to live a long, healthy life, but eat junk food, grab dinner at the drive-through, don&#8217;t exercise, or smoke.</p>
<blockquote><p>Can you honestly say that none of the above applies to you? That you never indulge in idiotic behavior?</p></blockquote>
<p>Hey, Larry admits that he does.  So do we.  So if you still say you don&#8217;t&#8230; why do you deny it? And does that denial have anything to do with where you are today?</p>
<p>And as for being broke because you want to be&#8230; well, if you think you want more money, but don&#8217;t have it, it&#8217;s because you&#8217;ve spent more than you&#8217;ve made, or you&#8217;ve made bad decisions.  It&#8217;s your own actions that have put you where you are financially (as well as in every other area of your life), and it&#8217;s your own actions that will change that for you, if you finally decide to do them.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s right, Larry doesn&#8217;t mince words.  He believes you&#8217;re fully responsible for your <em>own</em> life (what we like to call your &#8220;tree reality&#8221; lately).  He&#8217;ll show you exactly where you&#8217;ve been going wrong up until now, and how you can do better from here on out.</p>
<p>To get a better sense of his style, watch this short video.  It&#8217;s for his Nightingale-Conant program&#8230; something that took him 20 years to manifest (he doesn&#8217;t use that word, but that&#8217;s what he did) and something he never gave up hope on:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In our ongoing tribute to the six Gold Sponsors who helped us make SuperManifestor.com a success during our second major promotion of the Gold Pack, we&#8217;re passing on several powerful interview clips from Heather&#8217;s conversation with:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/blog/lwl-tools-post-4/#more-137"><strong>Dr. Joe Rubino</strong></a></p>
<p>Joe saw the immediate benefits in endorsing the Gold Pack a few weeks ago, and we thank him for his support.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve known Joe for awhile, and every time he hops on the phone with us, he&#8217;s full of <strong>inspiring insights</strong> and <strong>immediately usable advice</strong>.</p>
<p>He is an internationally acclaimed authority on self-esteem building, and the author of &#8220;<em>The Self-Esteem Book: The Ultimate Guide to Boost the Most Important Ingredient for Success and Happiness in Life</em>”.</p>
<p>And towards the end of these interview clips, he has a free tool for you use: A recording titled “<em>7 Steps to Soaring Self-Esteem</em>.”</p>
<p><em>To listen in and get your free TOOL [ #4A ]&#8230;</em></p>
<p><span id="more-137"></span></p>
<p><strong>How important are your values, and how do you determine what yours are? </strong> And if we all have special gifts and talents that help us fulfill our true potential, then how do you uncover them?</p>
<p>What does it mean when we say values come in pairs &#8212; and more importantly, how does that affect the unfolding of your life?</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>Find Out Here</strong></span>:<br />
[audio:http://lwltools.s3.amazonaws.com/Clip-DrJoeRubino-values.mp3]</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>How fast can you get from where you are to where you want to be&#8230; especially if you&#8217;re dedicated to doing the inner work it takes to get there?</strong> And in fact, if success is a journey, not a destination, then do you ever really &#8220;get there&#8221; at all?</p>
<p>In what ways is life a game, and how can you &#8220;win&#8221; that game?  What happens if you &#8220;lose&#8221; instead?  How should you handle the challenges that life throws your way?</p>

<p><strong>What does it mean to say we have all we need &#8212; and how does that affect the concept of &#8220;self improvement&#8221;?</strong></p>
<p>How do our perceptions and definitions control what we are able to achieve?</p>
<p>In order to not get stuck in a rut, should we turn off our thoughts and stay in the now&#8230; or devise a vision and look forward to the future?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s the best way to find balance between the different areas of our lives?</p>

<p><strong>What does it mean to live a &#8220;Life Without Limits&#8221;?  And why do people so often judge others who are striving for different results?</strong></p>
<p>What is truly the #1 ingredient for success and happiness, and why is it so often looked at as something negative?  How can you determine which is actually ruling your own life, and where you need to make some shifts?</p>

<p>A true &#8220;Oh My God&#8221; kinda tool&#8230; as in, we were shaking our heads last week and as said to ourselves:</p>
<p>&#8220;This easy web-based landing page and mini-site builder sure could have saved us lots and lots of money spent on IT folks who had to build our pages for us.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lwlurl.com/r/lpg.html" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-147" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px 15px 2px 0px;" title="lpg1" src="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/lpg1.gif" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a>All the tools in the <em>LWL Tools</em> series on this blog are  resources, vendors, and contacts that we use, have relationships with, and know. In other words, if we tell you that something will save you money, make your life easier, or allow you to leverage your time like never before, rest assured, it&#8217;s saving us money, making our life easier, and leveraging our life already.</p>
<p>And, <a href="http://www.lwlurl.com/r/lpg.html" target="_blank"><strong>Lead Page Generator 4.0</strong></a> is a PRIME tool that we won&#8217;t be without.</p>
<p><strong>Why?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Well, after 4 years of being online and looking for a tool like this, we can say without hesitation that it&#8217;s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">the best </span>when it comes to creating super-professional looking squeeze pages and mini-sites that do the technical heavy lifting for you&#8230;</p>
<p>The bottom line is, this products rocks!</p>
<p>Even if you&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>*</strong> Hate or don&#8217;t know HTML<br />
<strong>*</strong> Don&#8217;t know the difference between an opt-in page and a squeeze page (hint: they are the same thing)<br />
<strong>* </strong>Have never built a website<br />
<strong>* </strong>Are a technophobe</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lwlurl.com/r/lpg.html"><strong>Lead Page Generator</strong></a> is the one thing that will, without a shadow of a doubt, make the difference between no list AND A HUGE LIST!</p>
<p>Stay tuned&#8230; we&#8217;ll be showing off some of our pages, using LFP, starting next week!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>If you haven&#8217;t yet read our reasoning / push / commitment for posting more brief, frequent posts that cut directly to a resource, contact, interview, or recommended vendor, <a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/blog/bionic-how-tos-life-accelerated/" target="_blank">read the introduction here.</a></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">[ </span>TOOL 1A <span style="color: #000000;">] </span>- <span style="color: #000000;">Want to Manifest Wealth Beyond Reason?</span></strong></span></p>
<p>Usually when we talk about &#8220;manifestation&#8221; or the &#8220;law of attraction&#8221; (among the many other important Universal laws that influence the reality you create), we leave it pretty open-ended&#8230; in other words, whatever <em>you</em> want to manifest &#8212; be it health, wealth, relationships, that &#8220;perfect&#8221; job or house &#8212; the same tools and techniques work.</p>
<p>But time and time again, we hear from people who specifically want to manifest more wealth.  It seems to be one of those things that makes us all think, &#8220;<em>Well, if I had enough wealth, I could buy whatever else I wanted, so money is really all I need.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-84"></span></p>
<p>(In the big-picture view of things that&#8217;s a slightly flawed approach, but when you&#8217;re starting out, or if you have troubles manifesting wealth, it certainly does make sense&#8230; AND the same techniques still do work for other areas of your life, so it&#8217;s a valid desire.)</p>
<p>And no, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with wanting &#8220;things&#8221; or prosperity to be part of your reality &#8212; you deserve it!</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen <strong><a href="http://lwlurl.com/wbr" target="_blank">Bob Doyle</a></strong> in <strong><em>The Secret</em> </strong>or <strong><em>The Opus</em></strong>, and you&#8217;ll be interested to find out that he was one of the original eight people targeted to be a <em>Secret</em> teacher.  He&#8217;s been training people how to manifest wealth for several years now, and he really knows his stuff&#8230; as well as being a down-to-earth real person that makes it easy to learn from.</p>
<p>Heather recently pinned him down for a 40-minute interview to talk about how his life has changed since appearing in <em>The Secret</em>, and what new offerings he has for his students.</p>
<p><strong>What else can you learn by listening in?</strong></p>
<p>Is it really possible to do what you love and have the money follow?  And what&#8217;s the secret to making that happen that most people miss out on?</p>
<p>How might you be stopping yourself from manifesting wealth, and how can you change that around?  What does it really mean to &#8220;attract&#8221; wealth?  What principle will allow you to manifest it faster and easier?</p>
<p>What are some tools you can use to &#8220;boost&#8221; your results?</p>
<p>Can you make money using the law of attraction <em>without</em> selling info on how to do so?  And what&#8217;s the deal with charging people for information about &#8220;spiritual&#8221; or Universal laws, which are available to all of us at all times?</p>

<p>As close to 1,000 new SuperManifestor.com Gold Pack students came aboard over the last 10 days, it has become pretty apparent that quite a few people out there still suffer from <em>PC Rage</em>.</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s learning how to update the Windows operating system, installing/operating Adobe Flash so videos can play properly, enabling Javascript in a browser, or running diagnostics, we&#8217;ve learned to be okay with the fact that not everybody has our same skill-level, or time, to be on the PC and Internet.</p>
<p>While we often tell a customer/client who is struggling with their computer to find a good reliable local PC tech (to us, they&#8217;re as essential as knowing an honest, knowledgeable car mechanic), we know not everybody can.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re the <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>learn it yourself</em></span> type, here&#8217;s a fantastic resource:</p>
<p>The <strong><a href="http://newbieclub.com/comp/?lwlmedia" target="_blank">PC &amp; Internet Companion</a></strong> &#8212; it&#8217;s a unique and lavishly illustrated library of 6 Volumes, 43 Chapters, 32 Topics, 123 charts images &amp; screen captures, and a MASSIVE 849 Tips, Tutorials and additional resources.</p>
<p>The creators of these PC/Internet tips and tutorials have studied every PC and Internet learning publication they could get our hands on, so that they could be guaranteed to produce the most effective publication of its kind. And it&#8217;s written in the easy, laid back language which has made them World Famous.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://newbieclub.com/comp/?lwlmedia" target="_blank">Check it out here</a> if you want to start handling your PC and the Internet with the supreme confidence of a polished veteran.</p>

<p>For the last 4 years, we&#8217;ve stayed away from the idea of charging monthly fees for products or new websites that we build, manage, and market. Mainly it&#8217;s been due to the flawed reasoning that we&#8217;d be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">under pressure</span> to create content that meets the billing cycle of the user.</p>
<p>But, after looking at what it truly means to serve the same person, in a dedicated way, on an <strong><em>ongoing</em></strong> basis (the Lifetime Value of a Customer premise), we&#8217;ve decided to take the plunge into starting a few membership sites that resolve around a monthly, quarterly or annual fee for the end-user to maintain their access to the content.</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t, however, until we ran across one of <strong><a href="http://www.lwlurl.com/r/membernaire.html" target="_blank">Jimmy Brown&#8217;s</a></strong><a href="http://www.lwlurl.com/r/membernaire.html" target="_blank"> latest offerings</a> that we even knew just how flawed our original thinking was.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lwlurl.com/r/membernaire.html" target="_blank">Feel free to join in yourself as we go through Jimmy&#8217;s training</a>.  You have no excuse to not figure out a viable way to turn your interests, hobbies, passions, or specialized knowledge into a six or seven figure income!</p>
<p>Even if you don&#8217;t partake in his reasonably-priced course, you&#8217;ll learn a lot about the new model of starting and maintaining a membership site just by reading <a href="http://www.lwlurl.com/r/membernaire.html" target="_blank">his sale page</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight we&#8217;re putting master coach and speaker, <strong>Terri Levine</strong>, on the hot seat as part of our brand-spankin&#8217; new <a href="http://lwlwebcast.com" target="_blank">LWL Simulcast series</a> for 2008.</p>
<p>Terri&#8217;s a popular keynote and motivational speaker, and a successful bestselling author.  Before entering the coaching arena, she worked as a corporate executive with an impressive track record of growing million dollar businesses, and is known for her marketing expertise.  In fact, she was a speaker at <strong>Joe Vitale</strong>&#8216;s <em>Spiritual Marketing Super Summit</em>.</p>
<p>Terri&#8217;s a true professional in the personal development and the business industries&#8230; she understands how the two come together, and is able to teach from both perspectives to seamlessly bring balance into the lives of those she teaches &#8212; whether they want to focus on one, the other, or both.</p>
<p>Why is this important?</p>
<p>Well, the topic of tonight&#8217;s call is <strong><a href="http://lwlwebcast.com" target="_blank">Top 10 Laws for Living a Life of Abundance</a></strong>.</p>
<p>And understanding the power of those laws automatically takes us to a world where we bridge the personal and business worlds&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-46"></span></p>
<p>One of the laws, for instance, is <strong>The Law of Loving</strong>.  Okay, sounds like a <em>personal</em> growth law&#8230; but once you&#8217;ve learned to love yourself, and love others, you need to love what you do in order to achieve abundance.</p>
<p>And what you <em>do</em>, when it&#8217;s rewarded with the energy of wealth, takes us into <em>business</em> growth.</p>
<p>Another of the top 10 laws is <strong>The Law of Action</strong>.  And while planning and following a path to success could just as easily apply to your personal life&#8230; as soon as we&#8217;re talking about the action bringing about abundance, we&#8217;re now &#8220;taking care of business&#8221;.</p>
<p>We talk a lot about doing what you love and loving what you do, and being okay with receiving wealth and abundance in return.  It seems that everyone who has &#8220;money problems&#8221; (which usually boil down to &#8220;creativity problems&#8221; instead) is somehow resisting the notion that they deserve to be paid &#8212; and paid well &#8212; for what they love to do, and are good at.</p>
<blockquote><p>Provide value to the world, and the universe provides value back to you.</p></blockquote>
<p>Okay, now let us point out something kinda obvious to you&#8230; you&#8217;re reading this on a blog.</p>
<p>What might not be so obvious is that a blog is an incredible tool for allowing you to tap into these laws of abundance yourself&#8230; to creatively give value to the world and be rewarded for it back, with minimal technical know-how or hands-on effort required.</p>
<p>Yes, anyone can have a blog.  Write about what you love, and people who love the same things will find your blog.  Our peers and colleagues, <strong>Anik Singal</strong> and <strong>Rosalind Gardner </strong>(two top internet marketers who believe in the power of giving) can even show you how to get traffic to that blog in only 10 minutes.</p>
<p>If you watched Barry&#8217;s video the other day, you will have seen the free resources that Anik and Rosalind were giving away to help you set up, write, publish and promote your blog within minutes.</p>
<p>But that was just the tip of the iceberg&#8230; today they&#8217;re launching a highly anticipated webinar coaching program called <strong><a href="http://lwlworldwide.net/blogclassroom" target="_blank">Blog Classroom</a></strong> that will show you exactly what to do, step by step, in order to have your own &#8220;blog of abundance&#8221;&#8230; a place you can write, publish, share, and make money.</p>
<p>We believe so much in this program and its value to you that we&#8217;ll give you a gift worth $200 &#8212; our latest <strong>Life Enhancer Toolbox</strong> full of gifts and resources to increase your business and personal efforts &#8212; just for enrolling in <strong><a href="http://lwlworldwide.net/blogclassroom" target="_blank">Blog Classroom</a></strong>.  To collect your bonus, <a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/support" target="_blank">submit your receipt to our support desk here</a>. <strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Terri Levine is a coach&#8217;s coach&#8230; as one of the top professional coaches in the life coaching industry, she&#8217;s the one that other coaches come to in order to learn the ropes.</p>
<p>Anik and Rosalind are marketer&#8217;s marketers&#8230; top performers in the affiliate marketing, pay per click marketing, and blog marketing arenas that other marketers come to in order to learn the ropes.</p>
<p>So yes, there are some very uncanny similarities between the two groups of people we&#8217;re talking about today&#8230; and the two opportunities you now have for increasing your own abundance.</p>
<blockquote><p>1. Join us on tonight&#8217;s <a href="http://lwlwebcast.com" target="_blank">simulcast with Terri Levine by clicking here</a> and choosing &#8220;Print Details&#8221; beside her name (you can also add yourself to our simulcast mailing list for updates on every call, and a free gift).</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>2. Or join Anik and Rosalind in <a href="http://lwlworldwide.net/blogclassroom" target="_blank">Blog Classroom by clicking here</a> and checking out everything they have to offer you.  Then <a href="http://www.lwlworldwide.com/support" target="_blank">submit your receipt</a> to collect your bonus <strong>Life Enhancer Toolbox</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Or, hey&#8230; why not do both?</p>
<p>After all, abundance is not about living conservatively.  It&#8217;s about getting out there and embracing a life without limits.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Allow us to put something on the table upfront&#8230;</p>
<p>Even in the arena of higher-learning &#8212; that seemingly sacred place in life where success<br />
experts, inspirational teachers, metaphysical mentors, and peak-performance coaches share their insight &#8212; you&#8217;ll still see the game of &#8220;cat and mouse&#8221; being played out.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s funny, ya know &#8212; but also quite normal in the sense that&#8217;s it&#8217;s just pure human nature in action.</p>
<p>( No matter how you dress it up, as they say in Vegas, &#8220;<em>let&#8217;s just call a spade a spade</em>&#8221; )</p>
<p><span id="more-45"></span><br />
* * * * * * *</p>
<p><strong>Mentor A)</strong> lets you know (or highly suggests) that you&#8217;re broken, or flawed, or a diamond covered with a bunch of muck.</p>
<p>But, hey, wait a minute&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Mentor B)</strong> tells you that there&#8217;s nothing wrong with you, and that everything you need is already within you. Just relax and live. This is the disease of Self-improvement, says Mentor B, if you think otherwise.</p>
<p>So, holy smokes, Virginia&#8230; now it&#8217;s getting thick in here.</p>
<p>These two extremes are both so convincing, you say. They both are darned passionate about the guidance, and wisdom, they can bestow upon you.</p>
<p>Well, it sure comes across like they have the Midas touch for you, huh?</p>
<p>While we&#8217;d also love to be able to say we have found the &#8220;final answer&#8221; &#8212; life&#8217;s equivalent to the Goose that  laid the Golden egg &#8212; it just isn&#8217;t so.</p>
<p>Certainly, after interviewing hundreds of super-achievers over the years, we&#8217;ve come across several nuggets of wisdom that can alter a person&#8217;s way way of thinking, believing, doing, and having&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>Yet, we always walk away feeling good about the fact that it was just an &#8220;experience&#8221;, <strong><em>not</em></strong> a <em>permanent</em> way of life.</p></blockquote>
<p>There are too many unseen, unexplored, and unknown parts of ourselves to prevent us from being pigeon-holed into how we &#8220;should&#8221; approach self-improvement activities.</p>
<p>Nothing &#8212; including what we&#8217;re telling you here &#8212; should ever be accepted without some critical thinking and questioning on your part.</p>
<p>And <em>nothing </em>is never &#8220;static&#8221; (substitute &#8220;nothing&#8221; with the words, truth, wisdom, knowledge, etc. and you&#8217;ll see what we mean).</p>
<p>For your consciously-desired experiences to expand, you must EXPAND, and the most vital tool (one that requires nothing out of pocket) that can instantly cause you to be a BIGGER you is CONVERSATION.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s a big part of what we&#8217;re all about here at LWL Worldwide &#8212; Life Without Limits through eclectic conversation.</p>
<p>Look, let&#8217;s be real &#8212; and if you already are, then pass this on to somebody you know who isn&#8217;t being real with themselves about this:</p>
<blockquote><p>You do not need to be on some ascended, hard-core spiritual quest, or anointed by an enlightened guru, to invest in yourself.</p>
<p>You, just like we do, just need to have consistent access to multiple viewpoints, theories, philosophies and personal stories.</p></blockquote>
<p>Yes, it&#8217;s absolutely true that no amount of self-improvement can make up for lack of self-acceptance&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;but, write this down for good measure too:</p>
<blockquote><p>No amount of self-acceptance (personal contentedness) can ever make up for <strong>spiritual arrogance</strong> or <strong>mediocrity</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>The former, we know, based off the many conversations we&#8217;ve had with people, comes from being constantly immersed into every course, mega-book, or seminar package of the week, or from following around a Mentor A-caliber teacher (as mentioned above).</p>
<p>The latter comes about by just plain taking the message of Mentor B (that there&#8217;s nothing wrong with you) out of context, or not digging deeper into the idea&#8230; and deciding that your comfort zone is just too darned <em>comfortable</em> to get out of.</p>
<p>You see, if you&#8217;re a super-achiever&#8230; getting the results you want, are happy with your life, and are connecting with people and offering your passion and value to the world&#8230; you&#8217;re most likely not buried and consumed in the <strong><em>constant </em></strong>study of self-growth material, classes, conference calls, books and seminars.</p>
<p>Notice that we put emphasis on &#8220;constant&#8221;&#8230; because invariably, here&#8217;s what happens with the super-achiever who&#8217;s not all-consumed:  someone like this usually wants to keep accomplishing bigger things, and ensuring they&#8217;re on top of their game.</p>
<p>Great!</p>
<p>That is where the books, tele-calls, CDs and DVDs come back into play.</p>
<p>With this caliber of person, self-improvement is the foundation of who they are, but not an addiction that they <em>need</em> to have in order to live.  They usually do know that from time to time it&#8217;s best to take a step back in their quest to learn, grow, and develop.</p>
<p>And the difference in how they go about it, in relation to somebody who&#8217;s not getting results, is that they approach exploration of themselves from <strong><em>a place of strength.</em></strong></p>
<p>Approaching life from a perspective of lack (that you constantly and consistently need fixing and improving) is always going to hold you back from what you&#8217;re capable of&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8230;And, the rub is this: approaching life from a perspective of righteousness (that you&#8217;ve got life all figured out, either through one sage or yourself) is ALSO always going to hold you back from what you&#8217;re capable of!</p>
<p>So the solution, again, is to not get too bogged down into any particular inner-world strategy, or course of instruction, but to just tap into the personal pulling-power of listening to an interactive conversation.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lwlwebcast.com" target="_blank">Listen in</a> when you feel compelled. Not when forced.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lwlwebcast.com/" target="_blank">Listen in</a> when you can be honest with yourself about what you&#8217;re experiencing in life, and if you&#8217;re truly manifesting prosperous, uplifting, fun experiences (and, yes, THINGS) for yourself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.lwlwebcast.com" target="_blank">Listen in</a> when you just need nothing more than a whiff of inspiration or a taste of success through the eyes of another.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re so sold on the benefits of listening and learning from the stories, experiences, and insights of others that we&#8217;ve created an entire 16-page complimentary e-report called:</p>
