With the New Year, every one is busy setting goals, focusing on making some major things happen this year and motivated to work hard. These are all key elements to success, but one element so often overlooked is the Time to Play.

As children, we looked forward to our friends knocking at the door asking if we could “come out and play”. It was a huge element to our growth and development. But as adults, we tend to see play as a time wasting activity. Sometimes, we confuse competition with playing. Golf for example is a great sport and personally something I have spent a great deal of time doing. But even golf can sometimes simply be a Business Endeavor, with the component of networking and business activities thrown into the game. Read More→

All great accomplishments in history began with the imagination. The imagination is the single most powerful tool we have in our mental and physical arsenals. Nothing is by circumstance, you accomplish what you actively and creatively see in your mind’s eye first.

People often ask me what the most important thing they can do to assure they reach their goals is, and I ALWAYS answer “just Imagine it”. Call it visualization or imagination, it is all the same. But nothing great ever happened without it first being seen in the imagination.

So how do you use your imagination to create something phenomenal? And yes, anyone can do great and phenomenal things. It may be in sports, finances, art, or in relationships, but until it is imagined, it is never accomplished.

Here is a simple 5 step process to use. Take out pen and paper and go through these simple steps:

1) Ask yourself; “What do I really want to do?”
Write the question down and think about it in detail. Do not think about what you have done in the past. The past has nothing to do with your future. What do you really want to do?

2) Assign a time line
Once again, do not think of the past, and especially, do not think about the “How”. Think only about what you really want and when you want it. It should be within 1, 3 or 5 years, or may even be as early as next month, but make sure you put a time line to it.

3) Write a detailed description of doing this thing.
Spend some time using your imagination and write out what you want. But here is the “key”, it must be in present tense. I have or I am are necessary. Be very specific. Use your imagination and create every bit of detail surrounding your desire. I like to refer to it as “my perfect day”, with this “thing” being the centerpiece of your perfect day.

4) Why do you want it?
Get clear on this. You must have a powerful why. Sometimes, you will find in this step that you really do not want the thing you have imagined and something else comes up as more important. If this happens, start from the beginning again.

5) Apply the power of Gratitude.
Beginning immediately, everyday until your goal is achieved, be grateful for it. Spend some time each day being grateful for everything you currently have and for the goal you are working toward. Your gratitude must be in present tense. I am so happy and grateful now that I …….

This may seem to be a very simplistic approach, but it is a very powerful one. Anything your imagination can see, you can achieve. But the achievement of things comes through faith and belief. Believe that your intention is yours. The fact that you have put time and emotion into creating your intent, makes it a very powerful force. So just believe. When you can believe, you can and will receive.

To your unstoppable success…

I am reminded today by how powerful a simple thing such as taking action can be. I talked with a potential business partner today who had a huge amount of desire to have a multiple six figure income and the lifestyle that I live. She knew exactly what her life would be like when she doubled and then tripled her income.

But it stopped there, she just could not bring herself to take responsibility and to take action. She had tons of excuses and fear of making a decision to change her life and her results. You hear all the top coaches talk about moving from where you are to where you truly want to be. They always say “if you want something you have never had, then you must do something you have never done.”

So my question is, why is this so hard to understand? Or, maybe I should ask, why so much fear about taking control of your results? Your best ideas, thinking and actions get you to a situation where you are not happy with your life. Maybe you do not have enough money or maybe you have no time for your family, whatever the reason, you are where you are based on your thinking and your choices in life.

It is not an embarrassment to admit you are not where you want to be, 97% of people are in the same group. What should be embarrassing is to realize you are not where you want to be and where your family deserves to be, but then, do nothing about it.

So to my point. Adults may want more than they have, but instead of taking responsibility, taking action to change it and giving up what it takes to have it, they frequently choose to do nothing. Sure they come up with some great excuses, but that is exactly what they are, excuses. There is no excuse for not taking the action required to have what you want in life. There is no excuse for accepting what you are dealt when you have the ability to change everything.

There is enough of everything available for everyone to have exactly what they choose, plenty of prosperity to go around. It is all there for you. If others are living the lifestyle you would like to have, then there is no reason why you can’t as well.

So suck it up, set your goals, set your sites but then take action. Where you are is your responsibility as well as where you are going. In most cases, where you are going is a lot more exciting then where you have been.

To your success…

I spent this past weekend masterminding with extremely successful entrepreneurs. This was not just wannabes, but people who are living an extreme lifestyle. One thing they all have in common is they are students of personal development and have used these principles to create a life of dreams. The topic we discussed primarily was duplication and I was repeatedly moved by one question over and over again.

“What Questions are you Asking “Yourself”?

Who we are and who we want to be are frequently two different people. Often, we have a clear picture of the person we want to be. We know the basic principles for making the change but there just seems to be a block keeping us from our desired destination. We know what we want and we know we can have it, but the results seem very challenging to materialize.

Unfortunately, we are our own worse enemy when we are “working” toward changing ourselves, or shall I say when we are creating the person of our dreams. We can completely miss the most important element since it is not frequently discussed. This is an element which completely removes the work involved in change.

As students of personal development, we watch what we say, what we think and even how we react. But, do we listen to the questions we ask ourselves? These questions can either block the development and prosperity we desire, or they can propel us to a level of untold wealth and prosperity. The questions we ask ourselves are more powerful than any meditation or affirmations.

Questions for ourselves come from deep within. When we ask ourselves questions, we tend to be brutal and not entirely objective.

Self questions should not replace meditation or affirmations, but should be a part of our development. We should create a habit of asking the right questions at the right time.

Questions have more power with our subconscious mind. When we ask ourselves a question, it forces our subconscious mind to deliver a specific answer to our conscious mind. Our subconscious mind must rely on information we have fed it, it does not know if we are telling it the truth or pretending. When we ask a question of ourselves, the subconscious mind must work at delivering a response, providing great energy and vibration.

Let’s take a look at some of the questions we could be asking.

When you look in the mirror, do you ask yourself;

Why did I color my hair?
Why am I wearing this ugly sweater?
When did I put on that extra weight?

These are very negative questions, and even though you may apply good principles in providing yourself an answer, the damage is done through the question itself.

Try these questions instead;

Why does that color look so good on me?
Why does this sweater look so unique?
Why am I looking so thin and healthy today?

This approach may seem a bit uncomfortable at first but you will find the emotion of the question is extremely powerful and uplifting, increasing your vibration dramatically. And of course, the vibration holds the power of the Law of Attraction.

Practice this method often. Always ask yourself awesome questions. Questions that are as big as the goals you desire. The bigger your goal, the more powerful your questions should be. For example:

- Why am I so brilliant?
- Why am I so good at what I do?
- How can I increase my income this month by an additional $40,000?
- How can I give an additional $20,000 to charity?
- How can I change the lives of more people?
- How can I make a big difference today?

Awesome questions will raise your vibrations and dramatically speed up and increase your results. Give it a try.

Just another tool for your personal development toolkit to take you to the life you deserve.

When great explorers found new territory, land, islands or even the moon, the first celebration always involved the planting of their flag. By this act, not only did they claim “the new land” but they also made the claim “I assume responsibility for the ownership of this new land”.

Have you planted your flag with your business?

Have you claimed your business as your own?

Have you claimed your business as your responsibility?

Have your claimed the success of your business?

Have you actually gotten excited about the unlimited possibilities of your business?

All are very important questions. Too often, we start businesses, especially from home and then never make the claim of success. Would an explorer have just passed by a beautiful uninhabited land and kept going, looking for the perfect land, a land with no challenges, no obstacles, looking only for a land with abundant life but no effort and no belief in the new land?

This is what new business owners do everyday. No wonder more than 80% of new home based businesses fail.

There are many opportunities available to the home marketer and a very large majority of those are absolutely legitimate and offer the opportunity to achieve dreams. The underlying factor of achieving success and experiencing failure must lie on the shoulders of the marketer.

As Wallace Wattles points out in the amazing book “The Science of Getting Rich”, two people can do the same thing, in the same place, but one succeeds and the other fails. Only because the successful person “did things in a certain way”. Or as Napoleon Hill suggests in his amazing book “Think and Grow Rich”, One must operate a business as an entrepreneur instead of an employee.

When it comes to your business, the time is “NOW”. Do not wait for the perfect time, the perfect person, or the perfect teacher. Waiting will destroy your business and it will never succeed.

The time is now to take action. Be the leader in your business. Apply the “certain way” to your business and of course your attitude. That “certain way” separates leaders from followers.

In order to succeed at any business, you must be the leader. Leaders are irresistibly attractive to other leaders. When you fail to be the leader, you are therefore the victim. The victim gives away all power, the victim will never succeed because no one who is looking to succeed will associate or give any authority to the word of a victim.

Leaders look to work with other leaders. So plant your flag. Claim success for your business. Read these two powerful books and apply the principles in them now, not later. Be the outrageously successful leader you truly are.

Plant your flag and claim your success today!

I am frequently asked how the Law of Attraction brings things to us. Some people actually expect good things to just appear (like money on the doorstep) but in real life, that is not how the Law of Attraction works.

All good things come through relationships. All increase and growth will come through people you meet along the way or people you already know. The Universe (God) will put into your path the people you need to meet in order to accomplish your goals.

A perfect example is an associate I am currently working with. Two years ago I originally spoke to him, he responded to an ad. At the time, he did not have the level of belief or faith that he could accomplish more in his life so was not ready to move forward.

After two years went by, he had learned a great deal and had started dealing with some of his limiting beliefs. Amazingly, he responded to an ad of mine, not realizing it was someone he had talked to before and now he is ready to move forward.

The universe brought us together originally but since his vibration was not in line with what I offered, he opted not to move forward. Now he is ready and his vibration is one which will allow him to achieve his goals and once again, the universe put us together at the opportune time.

This is how it always works. Someone introduces you, someone answers an ad, someone bumps into you, whatever the method, the universe will bring you together.

When vibrations are in line, the universe is super charged to work putting everything into place. People you meet will have the nuggets you desire. It is simply a matter of keeping an open mind to allow those relationships to develop.

All too often, skepticism, anger, frustration and other negative energies block the view of the person you should meet. You shrug them off, think “too good to be true”, run and anything else to self destruct the opportunity you need to reach your goals.

So, while working toward your goals, always keep an open mind and heart. The right people will come to you but it is up to you to welcome them in. It is your responsibility to trust and allow change to happen.

I spend my days working with people to teach them how to make money and every day, take a serious look at the mindset people operate from. It is very interesting to see the result of someones life as it compares to their mindset. Simply said, I can only teach people to make what they think they are worth.

First of all, let me clarify. Living a prosperous life is not really about the money, it is about the lifestyle the money provides. It is about the freedom, the choices and the options available to those who create their lives.

But the greatest challenge to me is helping people to see that the amount of money they earn is directly relevant to how much they think they are worth. I talk with people everyday who see themselves in a very small place, the challenge is to move them to see the bigger picture.

What does this mean? Let’s do a very simple exercise. Take out a piece of paper and without much thought, simply write down on that paper how much money you want to make this year. What did you write? Was it $1 Million, $500,000 or maybe even $50,000?

Whatever you wrote on that piece of paper is what you are worth (today)! Value is a perception only, so if you have the perception that you are worth $50,000 then I am sorry to inform you, that is all you are worth (at this time). But you may say… sure, but it is June and the year is half over, or, I don’t know how to make more right now, my current salary is this or this or that or whatever!

The fact is, 90% of the result is the mindset. So if you see yourself making only $50,000 then you have the mindset of making that amount. On the other hand, if you see yourself making $500,000 this year, then that is the mindset you are working with and your chances of making that amount dramatically increase.

I have said in many of my articles that making a Million Dollars is the easiest thing in the world, the hard part is DECIDING to make a Million Dollars. It is one thing to WANT a Million, but if you have not decided to make it, then you are just in a state of want and will never move past that with your current thinking. Your current thinking is responsible for where you are today, in order to move beyond where you are, you absolutely must change your thinking.

Another very important point is this…

It is not your job to figure out HOW to make the amount of money you desire, it is your job to DECIDE what that amount is. Once you make a decision, which involves a fever of desire and an unstoppable mindset, then the method will come to you, but you must DECIDE first.

Bottom line, as I said, I work with people to show them how to use a simple system to achieve financial success. But, if a person has the mindset of $50,000 then they will take this Million Dollar opportunity and make $50,000 with it. On the other hand, if they have a Million Dollar mindset and desire, they will make the Million. The other person will literally leave $950,000 on the table for someone else to make and then complain that the opportunity is not worth more than $50,000.

Think about it very seriously. What is your financial mindset? Whatever it is, is what you are worth. Let’s talk later about how to increase that mindset.

Make it a fabulous day, you deserve it.

So, people ask me all the time what I do. Obviously, I work from home, have tons of free time, do what I want to do and am assisting my community. Liberty League is why I can do these things. The truth is, yes, Liberty League is what I do, but more importantly, I AM Liberty League. I love this company, the community and every thing that it stands for.

I started with Liberty League International in June 2004. Literally, I was exhausted, fed up with my management job and just tired of living someone else’s dreams. So late one Sunday night, knowing that Monday would be horrible as they always were, I was searching the internet, hoping for a new beginning.

And, I found it…

Thanks to this amazing opportunity, my husband and I both left our jobs, moved to where we really wanted to live (the beach) and very proud that we are making a real difference in the lives of other people and our community. Before coming here, we only talked about “some day” and “maybe” but now we live our dreams everyday.

Through LLI’s product, Beyond Freedom, I learned not only that I have total control over my life and my lifestyle, but how to take control of my life. Beyond Freedom is part of my daily personal development, guiding me to be the best I can be. Before Beyond Freedom, I never really understood how to make the Law of Attraction and The Secret work for me. Now, they are part of everything I do because Beyond Freedom assisted me in changing my thinking to allow them to work.

There is no end to what we know we can create. We are so grateful to have this product and this company in our lives and know without any doubt that God brought us here and we are where He wants us to be. We are grateful to Him for putting this piece of our life puzzle together for us. And we are grateful to the founders of Liberty League for creating something so powerful.

Always, to your success,
Wanda Grindstaff
