Riches Through Specialized Knowledge

We gain riches through our knowledge and the actions that we take. The things that you love to do and your knowledge of a particular subject can deem you a specialist in a field.

There are many ways that you can gain knowledge. Whatever the subject is, most likely there is someone in the world who is making a great deal of money because of their knowledge on that subject. They are passionate - sometimes to the point of being obsessed - and want to learn as much as they can.

In the book, “Think and Grow Rich”, Napoleon Hill said that there are two types of knowledge: general and specialized. It is specialized knowledge that will help you turn a desire into money. So, what can you do to gain this specialized knowledge?

1) Learn on your own. Some people are self-taught. They read books, magazines, and research the Internet. They take what they learn and create experiences for themselves, which can provide unique knowledge that they share with others.

Practice Make Positive

I've had so much to share with you, but haven't been able to post anything. I hope that you're doing well!

The one thing that I've been practicing these past few months is being positive. When you start off your day in a positive mindset, nothing but positive can come to you.

What I've learned is that when things don't go your way, there's something to learn from that. The Universe is always conspiring on your behalf, so what may seem like "bad luck" is just a blessing in a disguise. I'm sure many of you already know this, but sometimes we need a reminder every now and then.

Hope you're doing well and living like someone left the gate open! Just go and have fun :)

Getting Out of the Financial Comfort Zone

Are you in a financial comfort zone?

I was reading an article by Steve Pavlina, How to Raise Your Financial Vibration, and I realized that my financial situation has been pretty stagnant. Yes, my income has increased compared to last year, but I've gotten into this comfort zone in which my productivity has been more or less the same, if not declining. I've been pretty happy where I am at the moment as far as my health, relationships, and place of residence, but when I find myself getting close to that tipping point of increasing my abundance even more, I start to feel overwhelmed and get these mental blocks and thoughts that It's going to be too much work.

Overcome Negative Thoughts and Feelings in 5 Minutes

As much as I love to be happy and inspire people to live more blissful lives, I admit that I'm not exactly "perfect" in this area. I can say that I am happy about 98% of the time, but once in a blue moon negative thoughts and feelings will creep up. However, I'm grateful to now have the awareness of these negative feelings and can stop them in their tracks with tools I've learned these past few years.

Living Your Life With Purpose

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing one of my favorite bloggers, Stephanie Quilao, for the Studio 747 BlogTalk Radio Show. The topic of conversation was about living your life with purpose, and Stephanie shared her thoughts about what that means to her in addition to offering some advice to people who are not sure what their life purpose is.

Stephanie mentioned that she is at a pivot point in her life in that she only wants to do things that are fun and exciting to her. She's come to realize through her blogging and tweeting that her purpose is to inspire people to live healthier lives.

3 Positivity Practices From Sheri Riley

Need help staying optimistic and calm - even during times of financial strife and relationship turmoil? Consider these 3 “Positivity Practices” from work/life balance expert Sheri Riley, founder of GLUE, Inc. and creator of the Exponential Living program:


1: Reflect on Positive Past Events
Cultivating and maintaining a peaceful, calm and optimistic life must be a goal of paramount importance.  Distractions and life’s distresses both small and large, most definitely including those work, financial and relationship-related, will pull you away from this goal each and every time you allow it.  Your thoughts are the training ground and spring board for your overall disposition and perspective on life.  Many accomplished people never pause to revel in or acknowledge their past successes.  They are constantly striving for what’s next. While not entirely a bad thing, when your desire to achieve and earn becomes bigger than your desire to BE, your existence will be likened to a hamster running in an endless circle, never at peace and never at a point of rest.
