What is CNN Not Telling You?
I have a confession to make…. I stayed up late to watch CNN to get updates about what is going on with the economy so I can stay up to date on current events. I was sincerely looking for information to help me understand what is going on at the moment. I was only intending to stay for a minute. It caught my attention with an interesting sound bite. I apologize I do not know what I was thinking, I know better. I know the secret that CNN is not ever going to tell you.
It reminds me of the time when my five year old niece Sydney was three. She was enjoying our friend’s in ground swimming pool . She jumped in while Sheila was in the pool waiting to catch her. Her swimmies slipped off and as she was caught she got sucked under water, not a good thing for a three year old. When she came up we were expecting a scream of horror but instead she opened her eyes and said confidently, Sheila ” I got lost!”
Well, Sydney love, Auntie got lost too. In the negativity of the news. Unlike Sydney I am embarrassed. I got a headache and if I am really being honest a little depressed. I took a step back I to see why I didn’t feel good and I remembered what I know about news. It is addictive, like eating a bag of store bought chocolate chips cookies. You know it is bad for you, so you say you are only going to eat one and before you know it you have eaten the entire bag and afterward you feel sick.
I thought if my focus could be led astray and I know the secret it is important to share with you what is really going on when you watch the news .
I have recently heard a new name for CNN… Critically Negative News I think that sums it up pretty well. NBC, Fox and the other stations are not much better. Every day it is the same old story. No Jobs, Failing Banks, Doom and Gloom, No end in sight. Stay tuned for more bad news right after the commercial break…
The news makes its money by hijacking your focus.
Their ability to lock you in fear has unwillingly enlisted you to contribute to a global economic crisis.
The news says “The Banks Have No Money.” What happens then next day? The Dow drops and your investments take a dive. They create what I call the Fog of Fear. Then the news reports that Former President Bush, President Obama and World leaders will bail out the economy. Why?
Because World leaders know the secret.
They are working overtime to rebuild your confidence in money and the markets. They are attempting to restore your belief in the banks so you will create cash flow and shop, putting money back in the market place and the economy. They are not doing this by sending billions of tiny pieces of paper into the global economy. They are backing debt to make you feel better so you will go back to consuming which is what this economy has been relying on for at least 40 years.
The World economy depends on you.
You are that important and Powerful!
Now, let me say I am not an economist and I do not have a degree with three letters next to my name from a fancy university. But with that said I do know this: Since the time of President Nixon, the dollar has not been backed in gold and it currently holds no inherent value. What makes money valuable is a feeling of confidence and common belief of what that value is.
What the news is not telling you is that this credit crisis is an illusion and they are perpetuating it. This economic correction is a result of a game that is no longer working. The rules of economics went out the door when the gold fell off the back of George, Teddy, Abe and good old president Grant. You are buying into the illusion that the “lack” of money is real and by doing so you are creating what we call the “Economic Crisis.” You buying into the F.E.A.R. that is fueling the current economic downturn.
What the news doesn’t want to tell you that this economic correction is being created not by a money crisis but by a BELIEF that there is a money crisis.
The truth is there is plenty of money available.
Governments know how to create money at any time. So can you if you know the secret.
I know your mind must be shouting like a trucker in a traffic jam right now. If it is get excited. You are about to wake up to a brand new belief that is going to blow the fog of fear right out your door. I can say this to you because when it comes to belief you are talking to the expert. As the Success Genie I have a PHD in the power of belief and I have the results to prove it. I have also done my research so what I am telling you is true.
If you are making the mistake of BELIEVING what the news is saying, you are allowing yourself to be an unwilling co-creator of the on going economic crisis.
I do not think that is what you intend to do so…
If you are listening to the News, please STOP!
Listening to the negative news is costing you your belief. The key thing that makes your money game work. Your lack of belief has stopped your participation in the game so now the game is frozen like a computer screen when a component isn’t properly engaged.
Now I know you thinking I have lost my mind which I assure you I have not. This is all provable fact and you can do the research to for yourself. I don’t expect you to believe me. If you would like additional resources leave me a comment and I will share my resources in an upcoming post. If you are looking for accurate information the news is the last place to look for it.
Have you figured out the secret yet?
The secret is this economic crisis is not about money, it is about a belief.
Belief engages the life law of focus. What you focus on expands. The law of focus is just as relevant as the law of gravity. It governs our reality.
CNN and all the other news channels report the life law of gravity every night.
We all hear about the law of gravity when they tragically report the jumper who threw themselves off a building because they believed the economy ruined their life. They compare this economy to the Great Depression.
Why won’t the news show you the law of focus? They won’t because they would loose all their viewers. Studies have proven negativity sells more than positive news.
They make money by fattening you up on a steady diet of F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real.)
When you believe the economy is bad you become fearful. When you become fearful you stop focusing on what you desire. When you disconnect from desire you loose your power. Once you are in the confines of fear it is all you can see.
The natural response to fear is to Forfeit Everything And Run. The news is whipping up a huge “fog of fear and you are running right into it.”
What is the news getting you to visualize? Bad news that makes you feel terrible. You create what you feel. Your current reality is a mirror of your constant thoughts.
Think about when you hear the stock market went down again. You see your money go down and it creates a feeling of fear. That fear prevents you from taking action and investing in things that can grow your business.
Try on what I am saying to you and see which story when you focus on it makes you feel better. What you believe becomes true for you.
Napoleon Hill once said “Every adversity carries within it the seed of equal or greater benefit.”….Author of “Think and Grow Rich”
Napoleon Hill was a student of Dale Carnegie, who I affectionately call the Grandfather of coaching, sales training and all personal development training. Both of these men lived during the depression and led the way to the most millionaires being created during that time. The people who were successful during the depression and the past few recessions were not special extra-ordinary people. They were every day people who CHOSE to release their F.E.A.R.
Napoleon Hill knew the secret…
You are bigger than any bank and you are the hero the economy is hoping for. Like me they were willing to spend time re-directing their focus to develop a millionaire mind set.
Isn’t it time that you did too?
You are the economy and you have power!.

The Key to Success
I have been getting a lot of emails from people talking about the downsizing economy and horror stories of people closing their business and loosing their jobs due to the recession. Everywhere I turn I hear nothing but bad news. I make a conscious effort to stay plugged in to positive sources and successful people. I am surprised by how many sources are selling the bad news and giving you just enough information to freak out but not enough to actually make it a non-issue.
Even what I call the “success sellers” are choosing to focus you on the bad economy and techniques that they say will build your business and make you “recession proof”. In my humble yet professional opinion they are not focusing you on the REAL problem. They are offering to treat your symptoms instead of teaching you the secret skill that will make their techniques work for YOU in your life with your current circumstances.
Reality check
Now, before I go any further, let me say that I firmly believe in education and investing in yourself and your business. I have been learning more to benefit myself for the past twenty years. I have built three businesses during recessionary times and if it was not for my education and willingness to learn I would not be the success that I am. What really confuses me is that I don’t see people investing enough time and capital on the one skill REQUIRED for you to take action on all these wonderful techniques.
Here’s what happened to me…
On our wedding day in 2006 we found out our real estate coach and mentor embezzled all our money and put 2.6 million dollars of our real estate in to foreclosure. Despite the news we found a way to have the most wonderful and magical day of our lives. It was the next day that I did what any rational human being would do….freak out!
A week later my new husband and I jumped on a plane to California with my American Express Card to spend a week with self made millionaires to learn how to rebuild ourselves instead of going on a honey moon. I had never been in debt for 2.6 million dollars before. We were alone and way out of our comfort zone. I lost my focus and confidence about what I thought I knew. I needed help.
One of our teachers in California was Bill Bartmann, self made billionaire, listed once as the 25th richest man in America. He has an amazing story and personally has experienced the true challenges of life. He made my life story look like a fairy tale.
Bill Bartmann told us he could sum up the key to success to just one thing, something which he had identified at a young age.
“All the successful people I knew in life had high self-esteem and all the losers had low self-esteem.” – Bill Bartmann
Were you expecting something more profound? We often unnecessarily complicate things. Why make life more difficult, but that’s what we end up doing to ourselves.
Our self-image drives everything that we do and our self-image is inexorably linked to our self-esteem and self-confidence. Improve your self-esteem and improvements in your life will naturally follow.
Having high self-esteem is indeed the key to success.
When Bartmann was growing up his self-esteem was low. He gave credit to his childhood sweetheart, Kathy, for opening his eyes to this fact. It is as Barbara D’Angelis says,
“Until you’re aware of what you’re doing, you have no choice but to continue doing it.” – Barbara D’Angelis
I almost fell off of my chair when I heard him tell me his secret to success.. I felt as if I was “Dorothy” in the Wizard of Oz was hearing “Glenda the Good Witch” say “you have always had the ability to go home. The power has been inside of you all along.”
I got the final confirmation I needed. What I teach and focus on is right on track and very relevant to business. I have something very valuable to share with those who desire to live a successful life and be financially free. What I was missing was the confidence to trust what I knew and apply it to the current situation. What I learned is that I am NOT my experience. What I choose to be true for me is true.
I Can Help You
For over 10 years I have been coaching people who before working with me have been to every seminar under the sun. Like me they have invested in there future and success. Some of them come to me with over a $100,000 of debt just from flying the country from seminar to seminar. I call them affectionately “Unopened Libraries”. Full of information but no one is using it. When they first meet me they are panicked, broke, frustrated because despite all that they learned, they end up doing the same things they did before the seminars. By having them focus on what I call the “foundation of success” and self-esteem, they immediately and naturally get off the hamster wheel and see the results that they were searching for.
In this economy I speak with so many people who are paralyzed with fear or frantically subscribing to trade-technique based programs as if taking these courses will “magically” fix what isn’t working in their life and business. They are good people who are tired and working really hard for very little. They are stressed out and panicked about their future and retirement. They say they desire success and go to seminar after seminar hoping to find out the answer to take away their pain. They fail to take action on what they learned so what do they do…take another seminar.
To all my fellow seminar junkies, I respectfully say to you: “If brains were bucks we would ALL be BIGGER than Bill Gates.” “There is a hidden secret is inside of you and you are missing it…”
Being a collector of seminars and strategies without practical and expedient application is a recipe for personal and financial bankruptcy. Without high levels of self-esteem you are investing in a car without an engine to run it. You and the way you feel about your self drives your car (your life). Studying strategies will not make you rich or successful. You feel successful and get rich by building your self esteem so that you can take action beyond your comfort zone.
Without YOU all the techniques you are investing in will not work. Taking the time to make sure your personal needs are met and that your life is set up to take action on what you are learning is essential if you plan on making money with what you learn at seminars.
Here are some tips to Jump Start Your Self-Esteem and take action:
Be Aware
Like Bill Bartmann said if you cannot change what you are not aware of. Take some time every day to acknowledge what you did well. Take some time each day to review your strategies and track what is working and what is not. When you find something that is not working immediately….
Focus on What You Want To Happen
Most people when faced with a challenge is to focus on the obstacle. That is a bad strategy because whatever you focus on expands. So, shift your focus on what you would like to experience so that your mind will automatically begin to develop a solution to give you what you asked for.
Do What You Love Every Day
Have you ever heard the old adage, “Do What You Love and the Money Will Follow”? It is true. When you do what you love you build self-esteem and what I call your “success signal.” Your success signal is what attracts things to you. You can only receive what your signal can attract. If you need more success spend time making your success signal strong.
Create a Plan
Now that you have identified what isn’t working and what you would like instead it is important that you have a plan. I recommend beginning with a personal plan because until you can take care of yourself you really can’t effectively run a business or take care of others. You can not give from an empty well. So if you have a lot to do you must give a lot to yourself.
Take Consistent Action
Once you have a plan, show up and take action daily. Small steps each day build momentum and before you know it you are moving quickly and seeing results.

Close the Gate on 2008
Happy New Year!
I am so excited about this New Year. My business theme this year is “It time to shine in 2009.” I invite you to share it and make it yours too. One of the first things that I do every year is put closure on the previous year. I take time to reflect on what happened and what I learned during the past year.
This year was a difficult year on a personal note with the passing of my Great-Aunt Eleanor, and the death of our beloved cat “Angel” who was hit by a car on my birthday. They were my personal mentors and life pillars who have shaped the person who I have become. It also was a fantastic year of growth and personal development and new friendships.
But as with every year it is time to “Close the Gate on 2008.”
This is my process to complete the old and ring in the New Year:
Record and Resign the Previous Year
Write down what happened during the year. Record your feelings and thoughts as an act of acceptance. Acknowledge that you did your best at the time and compile a list of all the things you learned from your experiences.
Release the Past
Once you are finished writing about the year, forgive yourself for anything you did or did not do. Release the “woulda”, “shoulda” and coulda” in your life. If you have any goals that you didn’t get to or finish, do NOT bring them with you into the New Year. Put them on your energy drain list. This leaves you free to…
Realign with your Birthright
Re-align with what is really important to you and create goals to make them real in 2009.
For example if you set a goal to loose weight in 2008 and you didn’t accomplish it take it off your goal list and put it on your energy drain list. The fact that it didn’t happen makes it a drain.
Re-align with what you felt loosing the weight would do for you and make that the goal. Maybe you thought loosing weight would make you feel happy or feel sexy. Make a list of things that make you happy and take action on those things. Make feeling sexy your goal and do things that make you feel sexy. Go get dressed up in great clothes, go dancing, or get out of your rut by doing something active. These things will bring you what you desire and the by-product will be loosing weight and looking healthy.
Make a list of things that you really love to do and make these your priorities in 2009. Doing what you love always brings money and success to you. Dare to be different and do what you love.
Receive and Say “Yes” to Success
By taking the above steps you are removing your obstacles to success and allowing success to come to you. You are now ready to set business goals and really see results.
