Janet’s Planet of Intention Creating More Millionaires

I love the fall season! Even though it’s still in the low 90’s where I live, I can feel the humidity changing and great news . . . we have a cool front coming this weekend! Growing up in the Midwest, the trees returning to their fall colors and pumpkins everywhere, colder weather, rain, all were my favorite time of the year, second to the breath of spring. But this fall season, many industries and career opportunities will not be returning to their former state despite indicators of recessionary recovery.

First, the good news. The last two quarters our personal retirement statements have reflected 10% increases for each quarter — a welcomed sign! The county just north of us only has four months of remaining inventory of single-family homes — those foreclosures are being bought up! And the average home price is up 4% over a year ago. All positive signs of changes in our economy. The returning of a prosperous economy will take time — maybe longer than we all anticipated.

But there’s something I believe that will not change back to what it once was. And that is the number of career openings with a guaranteed salary, full benefits and retirement package.

This fall season things look different. Many industries are changed forever by further regulation: financial, banking, mortgages, real estate — all to protect the consumer but make careers in those areas viable for only those passionate and willing to be tightly regulated with mandatory additional licensing, education, etc. And consumers are far less trusting making sales careers a bit more challenging.

Some industries and companies coming out of this recession are not willing to take the full brunt of responsibility for overhead of salaried positions with comprehensive benefits and retirement packages. The unemployed seeking a career change already know the competition for each position is greater than ever. But here’s the bottom line. Many compensation packages are very a-typical now. A company wants to know that you understand how they expect you to impact THEIR bottom line. You cannot take for granted that you will be able to leverage your time for a typical paycheck in the six figure income range. In fact, many companies want to establish an ‘on contract’ position to give you an opportunity to prove yourself and prove your impact to their bottom line. ‘On contract’ is turning out to include a wide variety of compensation models, some never seen before — hybrid if you will — commission only or much smaller base salaries tightly monitored toward quotas and performance measurements. So more than ever before — you are definitely not in control, no matter how hard you think you are working.

It is for this reason that I have focused on supplying personal development resources on my blog for those who want to be at the top of their game in that existing career or management position, or if you’re seeking a position. Especially in these times, MINDSET is more important than ever! For the small business owner wanting to position themselves creatively to be at the forefront of their markets coming out of this recession, mindset training is critical. It’s the ‘thinking out of the box,’ sure, but it’s more than that. It’s about erasing the affects of all the negative messages you are bombarded with daily, and making room for your subconscious to reveal to you the secrets that have been kept abated by the crazy rat race existence. I am truly over-simplifying what work is done in personal development and mindset training, because it is work. But if you are determined to make your first million dollars, or your next, proper mindset position will assure your rise to the top of your game.

So, this fall season, with industries and careers forever changed, it’s time to prepare for a new personal season of change — the time is now to change your mindset and become that to producer, become that entrepreneur and start that business you’ve been wanting. It’s time to reinvent yourself to become your greatest potential. If you want to achieve success and be at the head of the pack finally achieving the life success, and financial success you’ve always desired, then make a commitment to become your greatest potential by working on your self. Personally, as a student of personal development of 14 years I can only attest to what has worked for me and it’s the resources you’ll find on this blog. I welcome your comments — if you’ve been on a path to reinvent yourself, what techniques or products have you been using. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Earlier this year I read a book by Alan Seale, The Manifestation Wheel. I picked it up again a few weeks ago and wanted to share a few things that came up for me. Being detailed and business-like in most everything I do I found his book brought me to new places of deeper understanding. Alan’s ability to take the intuitive spirit side and bring together the proven science to roll out a step-by-step guide for manifesting is simple yet powerful. However, it is still important to understand that just treating the manifestation of your dreams like a business project, because you now have a checklist of steps to go through, doesn’t assure that you’ll achieve the success you desire.

There’s an incredibly important element that most people bypass — passion, your ‘why’ and being ‘in flow.’ Although the book discusses it and there are many other books that focus on this important element, what I want to emphasize is that it is crucial to your success in manifesting that you persist in creating a stream of passionate and emotional energy. The type of emotional energy that is created when you are ‘being’ that person you intend to become. That person who just landed that big account, who accomplished their financial goals, who successfully launched that non-profit — you get the idea. It is your ‘why.’ The big ‘why’ for the reason you have the goal in the first place. Feeling the energy of your having accomplished that already and living from that place actually uses the powerful Law of Attraction. Being ‘in flow’ means you are emanating that dynamic energy that draws from the universe the abundance of opportunities and produces people to be in the right place at the right time and provide just what you will need to create your success in accomplishing that goal.

The challenge is not to block. Blocking, by going with the ebb and flow of your emotions and being stuck in fear or in a place of wanting and lacking what you want, reverses the work already accomplished when you were ‘in flow.’ So to pray without ceasing is basically the same message here, to persist in your laser-like focus on your dreams — the end goal in mind. And to, without ceasing, create that continuous outward flow of positive emotion and energy that you know you will be feeling as if you’ve already accomplished that goal. You must be that person already emotionally and make the business decisions that person would make, taking the deliberate actions toward what you are creating. And because what you see in your current reality is not what you are intending to create, it is easy to get side tracked.

This is some of the most difficult personal work you can do to stay in laser focus to create what you intend. It takes courage to set yourself on a committed course of self development and face all the fears you have of failure of not reaching that goal, of being criticized, of being alone having set yourself apart from the crowd. You must have an entrepreneurial mindset, a millionaire mindset if you will. Be the leader, not the follower. Even if you’re in a career and not a home based entrepreneur like I am, having an entrepreneurial mindset will set you apart from the crowd and that alone can open doors and create opportunities you never had before.

There are many programs, books, audio sets, etc. available to assist one in learning more, but only a few quality educational curriculum that diligently assist you in becoming involved daily in the positive practices that will produce results. So be cautious and do your research. My blog is one of many focused on self growth and personal development with many resources to assist you in your development. Here’s to your success and staying ‘in flow’! — Janet the Planet
