Whatever you conceive and believe, you can achieve
Come and SEE and HEAR Dr. Napoleon Hill as he explains the success formula: Whatever you conceive and believe, you can achieve.

Ken Donaldson Introduces the The F-Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction…
You’ve heard of it, right?
Here’s a reminder: Some people thought it was “The Secret.”
You know, “the secret” formula that would bring you riches, fortune and fame.
Well, I actually believed in it…and still do…but not so much…well, not exactly.
Let me explain…
The Law of Attraction was most recently described – more or less –
as “the energy you create and put out into the Universe is the same
energy that will be returned to you.”
It’s also very similar to written an old sacred text: You reap what you sow.
And, as well, it was also written in another older sacred text as:
As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
(They spoke and wrote funny way back then.)
Sounds clear, rather simple and, above all, easy, right?
Wrong! Sorry, life doesn’t give us shortcuts.
Although I will, say life does give us “formulas” that work when properly applied.
Look at the word “attraction” for a moment…what do the last 6 letters spell?
If there was any “secret” this is it: A-C-T-I-O-N!!
Massive, targeted, focused action!
And that is where most people fall down.
I have known thousands of people from around the world who have
“semi-applied” the law of attraction, and most of them have gotten little or no response.
Myself included.
Why? We didn’t get into “proper” action.
I asked myself why…and then I went back to what I believe is the real cookbook for the
Law of Attraction…at least for me (and tens of millions of others): Think and Grow Rich.
Napoleon Hill, who I casually refer to as “Uncle Nappy”, did the research for most of his life.
Has asked tens of thousands of people, successful people and unsuccessful people,
what they did to create their success (or lack thereof).
Originally he discovered 13 principles of success, but as he continued to research
throughout his lifetime, he discovered 4 more principles.
Here’s the list, with some minor editing to make the terms a bit more understandable
(they were originally written in the language of the early 1900’s; a bit archaic I thought):
• Definiteness of Purpose
• Mastermind Alliance
• Applying Faith
• Go the Extra Mile
• Pleasing Personality
• Personal Initiative
• Positive Mental Attitude
• Balanced Enthusiasm
• Discipline of the Self
• Accurate Thinking
• Controlled Attention: Focus
• You and Me: Teamwork
• Reframe Adversity
• Creative Vision
• Health Maintenance
• Budget: Time and Money
• Attraction Principles
So, after seeing that and reading that, can you see that there’s a whole lot more to this law of attraction stuff!!
That’s why I think, as well as many others, that this has become The (F)Law of Attraction.
People don’t think they have to work at creating their prosperity.
It takes physical AND mental energy…lots of it!!
Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the bottom line: You will have to work for what you want!
Work hard, in fact, and also work smart.
Here’s what I suggest…I call it my “four-step”:
1. Create a powerfully huge vision for your life
2. Write out the goals that will fulfill the vision…
SMART Goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time Oriented
3. Break down the goals into more specific plans and projects
4. Out of the plans and projects, make action steps: The smallest actions you take, starting today, to be moving towards your vision
THEN, stay in alignment with it all…stay focused…follow Nappy’s 17 principles every day in every way.
You’ll get there if you do all that.
Oh, by the way, Nappy said that only about 5% of the people actually applied all this stuff.
I figure YOU must be in that 5% since you’re reading this.
Now go for it!!
By the way, since you’re a loyal subscriber, I also made you a success “cheat sheet.”
Just click on the button below and you’ll have access to a chart, similar to what
Benjamin Franklin used to track his daily virtues, but used with Nappy’s success principles.
I think we can all use a little guidance, accountability and feedback, right?!!
Oh yeah, remember: A-C-T-I-O-N!!

Marry YourSelf First Meets The Dream Manager
I just finished reading The Dream Manager which is a great book about creating – and living- the dreams you want in your life.
I highly recommend it…very few books get my attention like The Dream Manager has.
Here’s a couple of quotes about dreams you might recognize:
“You see things; and you say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say, ‘Why not?’”
~George Bernard Shaw
“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”
~Gloria Steinem
So, here’s what I made for you…to help you look at, create and live your (wildest!!) dreams…Enjoy!

Ken Donaldson: A Free Love Poem about Deal Makers and Deal Breakers
Warning: It’s Sunday morning and my wonderful team of
Brenda, Lynne and Shannen all have the day off,
so nobody has proofed this except me, which means you’re liable to find
a bunch of typos…all I ask is that you humor yourSelf with them!
I was driving to get a cup of early morning coffee today when
I quickly noticed the beautiful full moon setting in the western sky.
It reminded me of a poem I wrote a while back…
which, in turn, reminded me of a time when I read the poem
at a very important event. Here’s the whole story…
In my role as a relationship counselor, I have realized
the absolute importance of Deal-Makers and Deal-Breakers
for your happiness in life.
Just in case you’re not clear about Deal-Makers and Deal-Breakers,
here’s a quick little review for you:
Deal-Makers – These are the non-negotiable absolutely, positively,
got-to-have characteristics, attributes, qualities, behaviors and/or involvements
that you have to have from another person. If you accept someone who does
not have these, you will set yourself up for unnecessary disappointment.
Never lower your standards or else you lower your self-esteem.
Deal-Breakers – These are the non-negotiable, absolutely, positively,
will-not-accept-ever-ever-ever traits, qualities, behaviors, attitudes and/or
involvements of another person. If you make an exception, you automatically
discount yourself, violate your own boundaries and set yourself up for
unnecessary pain and heartache.
Basically, this is Boundaries 101!
Many years ago, as I struggling with my own Deal-Makers and Deal-Breakers,
I found myself writing a poem which helped me to clarify these important dynamics.
This poem, The Yin and Yang of Perfect Love, has been my guiding light ever since
I wrote it many years ago…it’s always steered me in the best direction.
As it turned out, I read this poem a couple years ago as I was the
Marriage Officiant for a couple friends of mine (Beautiful Tina and Amazing Alex).
Let me digress for a moment, as I’m sure you’ll enjoy the photo from this amazing ceremony:
(Yes, that’s me, the Buddha-looking guy in the middle!)
And I figured since this is the last day of the Love Month,
it’d be appropriate to share this poem with you.
So here it is:
The Yin and Yang of Perfect Love
I am the sun…you are the moon
and you do reflect my every tune
You are the earth and water am I
together we mix creating no lie
I am the wind…you’re the clouds up so high
our energy intermingled all through the sky
You are the fire…I am the wood
together we burn as Life says we should
I am the night…you are the stars
we fill the universe from here to afar
You are the Eagle and I am the sky
we’ll take this here Love and fly it so high
When you are cloudy, I’ll be the sun
and you do same when I’m feeling done
When I’m a river, you’ll be the stone
gently I’ll cleanse you, no more all alone
You be the sunrise, my fog you’ll break through
together we make the sweet morning dew
I am the storm and rainbow are you
complementary energy…we give Life it’s due
Yes, you are the Eagle…I’ll be the tree
a place you may perch from, but fly as you please
And you be the earth for all my roots
together our energy creates loving fruit
And finally I say, let’s answer Life’s call:
Grow as we dance and rise from each fall
Okay, if for some reason you have not written your
Deal-Makers and Deal-Breakers list, do it now…
it matters not if it’s a poetic version and just a list.
Write it…follow it…and live it!
THIS LIST is THE #1 element that is very often ignored in
the Law of Attraction formula.
You’ll only attract to you what you truly want when you live in integrity with yourself.
Sorta like Marry YourSelf First! Gee, where have you heard that before?!!
