			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img border="0" alt="Success_and_happiness1" align="right" src="http://freeformliving.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/success-and-happiness1.jpg" />What Does Financial Freedom Mean To You?<br />Decisions! Decisions! Decisions! Which opportunity is best for you. Should you keep on working the 9-5 treadmill? Maybe, if that is where your passion is. But finding a job is tough. Society is in transition at this time. The old industrial age, go to school , get a job/career days are numbered. Yes we will need professionals of every sort to help us with our needs but what of the small guy, the one who was an assistant, secretry, labourer, receptionist, ad infinitum. The majority work force, What about them?</p>
<p>As we have progressed into the information age, more jobs are becoming obsolete because of all the techonological advances of today and what will be there tomorrow.</p>
<p>So here you are, you gave 5, 10 , 20 years of your life to a company and now find yourself with no job nor experience in business building. So what&#8217;s next?</p>
<p>After exhausting all the job centers, newspapers and pull tab ads that you could, you have the stunning reality that you may not find a job in the field you worked in, again. It&#8217;s been outsourced or unnecessry, due to the advances in techonology.</p>
<p>So now, you have to reinvent yourself. Well, yes, it&#8217;s time to turn to the internet. <br />Welcome to finding a needle in a haystack. Welcome to scams, wanna be clubs and virtual addicts. Let&#8217;s try this, let&#8217;s try that. But also, welcome to a big wide world of opportunities that awaits you!!! Yes, there is both and it comes down to this: How do you know the opportunity that is best for you and how much should you invest and should you invest money? </p>
<p>So here it is, you&#8217;ve worked all your life as an employee, you&#8217;re on your own, now thrown into internet shark infested waters and you&#8217;re dizzy with the prospect of tapping in to all this internet knowledge, but, you can&#8217;t decide, you may try one or two, only to find out that they didn&#8217;t live up to your expectations and you&#8217;re still lost and little less richer for it. You are now in hamster cage caught in the middle of the internet maze. You need Help.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s step back a bit. When you were at work, you had a question, didn&#8217;t know how to do something, who did you go to? Your supervisor, sometimes your boss or a colleague in the office. Did they help you? 9 times out of 10 you&#8217;d have to say yes. So take this same principle and apply it to the internet. You need someone you can trust who is knowlegeable, who will find out what skills you have, what amount you can really invest and help you on the road to success.</p>
<p>So, you need a mentor, sponsor, affiliate, business owner, internet marketer, someone who cares about you and where you need to go. You need the right opportunity to build your income starting at square one, where you can visualize yourself waking up every day and making a profit on a daily basis. You need something that will help you grow while you grow it.</p>
<p>So go ahead and pitch your fork in the giant internet haystack, look at as many offers as you can, but if you really want to know if you&#8217;ll get where you&#8217;re going with this opp or that, look for sincerity, caring that you make it and will be successful. There is a lot to learn and it will be a road well travelled if you have the right support and tools to get you to where you want to go and truly experience the life of financial freedom, working from home, spending more time with your family, travelling etc. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img border="0" alt="Power_of_Communication" align="right" src="http://www.freeformliving.info/images/Power_of_Communication.jpg" />Never, never send people&nbsp;to your site first.</strong></p>
<p>If you are sending people to your web site from any form of advertising that is a big mistake. And if your not sending them to a great live call that is the difference to continuing a relationship that breeds greater human possiblities and people joining. You see people join with people and people buy from people not web sites&nbsp;</p>
<p>When you send them to a site instead of a live call with or without contact from you&nbsp;you are wasting your advertising money every time. Yes you may get a few sales but if these people are going to be contributing to your business.. you don&rsquo;t even know them and you are going to end up&nbsp;broke. <strong>I have found that doing it wrong contributes to one tenth of what you could have done doing it with a human approach.</strong></p>
<p>Calling and talking to your prospects is critical&nbsp;for your business .. it says to the prospect that you have a real program. Sure everyone wants an easier way but in cutting out the human element you have taken many more sales off the table and&nbsp;will be wondering what is wrong.</p>
<p>A lot of programs out there know that people have a bit of a hard time in communicating, selling and try to give you a solution that you do not have to talk to people to become successful. If you have fallen for that BS you know. </p>
<p><strong>Communication is everything for your bottom line.</strong> Once you learn to communicate everything becomes easy.</p>
<p>Getting to be a good communicator is much easier than staying broke. When you do confront the challenge it&rsquo;s good to be working with someone that knows and is willing to help you become stronger rather than offering for you to join a program that makes you weaker and hangs you out to dry for the money.</p>
<p>The great thing about web sites is that once you have made a connection communicating with your prospect your information on your site will be filling in the details of your offer&nbsp;with someone that knows that what they have experienced is real.</p>
<p>From some one interested in your success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why&nbsp;am I&nbsp;feeling so happy lately?</p>
<p>Why am I feeling so peaceful and strong?</p>
<p>What I just did was treat you to a few &#8220;afformations,&#8221; a new psychological tool <br />everyone needs to know about.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of &#8220;affirmations.&#8221;&nbsp; These are sentences uttered in order <br />to create or &#8220;install&#8221; in the mind a supportive or generative belief about <br />reality.&nbsp; &#8220;I am peaceful and happy.&#8221;&nbsp; &#8220;I am making plenty of money.&#8221;&nbsp; &#8220;I deeply <br />accept myself.&#8221;&nbsp; Etc.</p>
<p>The practice of affirmation is based on the fact that our minds contain a whole <br />structure of beliefs about reality, some of which are supportive and generative <br />of success, others of which are limiting and generative of paralysis or pain.&nbsp; <br />If, for example, we are beset by shame, we might want to install the belief, <br />&#8220;I deeply love and accept myself.&#8221;&nbsp; If we feel financially stuck and think we <br />can never make an adequate income, it may be useful to install <br />&#8220;I can easily make enough money to satisfy my needs.&#8221;&nbsp; If we feel overloaded by <br />duties and obligations, it may be helpful to install &#8220;I set boundaries <br />gracefully and powerfully to create space in my life.&#8221;</p>
<p>WATCH THIS AND SEE HOW THEY WORK</p>
<p>&nbsp;<embed height="385" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Pc3bg2JCmyc&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></p>
<p>I was never a huge fan of affirmations, even though I used them on occasion.&nbsp; <br />I always felt unpleasantly tense when saying them, like I needed to work the <br />affirmation against a strong internal resistance.&nbsp; </p>
<p>But, a revolution has occurred.</p>
<p>I have learned from a teacher a new way to install beliefs, and I&#8217;ve been <br />finding it powerful and effective.&nbsp; <span id="more-43"></span>More</p>
<p>It is this: </p>
<p>Instead of saying, &#8220;This is so,&#8221; about what you want to believe, you ask <br />yourself the question, &#8220;Why is this so?&#8221;&nbsp; </p>
<p>So, instead of, &#8220;I am peaceful and happy,&#8221; you would say, &#8220;Why am I feeling so <br />peaceful and happy?&#8221;&nbsp; </p>
<p>Instead of, &#8220;I make enough money to satisfy my needs,&#8221; it would be: &#8220;Why am I <br />making such a satisfying amount of money?&#8221;&nbsp; </p>
<p>Instead of, &#8220;I set life-serving boundaries clearly and straightforwardly,&#8221; it <br />would be, &#8220;Why am I setting boundaries so clearly and straightforwardly lately?&#8221;</p>
<p>You don&#8217;t actually need to answer the question, though you can say answers if <br />they pop into your head.&nbsp; But all that is necessary is to ask the question, and <br />to ask it repeatedly if you want to make it stronger.&nbsp; Then, let your <br />unconscious mind do the rest.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been using these &#8220;afformations,&#8221; as they&#8217;re called, for several weeks now, <br />and I love them.&nbsp; They&#8217;ve worked well for me on both short-term and longer-term <br />issues.&nbsp; </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done &#8220;Why am I giving such a good math lesson?&#8221; and then taught a great <br />math lesson.&nbsp; </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done &#8220;Why am I enjoying myself so much at this family dinner tonight?&#8221; and <br />then enjoyed myself at the family dinner (when I&#8217;d walked in feeling like hell).&nbsp; </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done &#8220;Why am I getting along so well with so-and-so?&#8221; when so-and-so and I <br />had been arguing, and then got along fabulously with so-and-so. </p>
<p>For longer-term issues, I started with &#8220;Why am I feeling so happy lately?,&#8221; and <br />lately I&#8217;ve been feeling happy after years of feeling not so great.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve done, <br />&#8220;Why am I making such a good income?&#8221; And, wouldn&#8217;t you know it, my income has <br />gone up significantly in the last few weeks.&nbsp; I&#8217;ve even done, &#8220;Why am I enjoying <br />my body so much lately?&#8221;&nbsp; And for the first time since I was a little child, <br />I&#8217;ve had in the last few days moments of enjoying my body.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t mean to imply that these afformations are magic or that I have not also <br />been doing other things, and other work, to bring about these changes; I have.&nbsp; <br />I also don&#8217;t wish to suggest the new age premise that we can be totally happy <br />and peaceful and blissed out at every moment of our lives, and that if we are <br />not, we just need to &#8220;believe&#8221; differently.&nbsp; Life is far more complex than that.</p>
<p>But I acknowledge that complexity.&nbsp; I know how to look at challenges and pain <br />straight in the eye; I understand the importance of accepting anger or sadness <br />or pain with kindness and compassion; I am well practiced at allowing myself to <br />be aware of uncertainty, doubt, and the like, as facts of my experience.&nbsp; And in <br />this context, I really feel like these afformations are helping me markedly &mdash; <br />and I&#8217;ve also gotten great results teaching my math students how to do them.</p>
<p>Now, why are the afformations so powerful?</p>
<p>For a very simple reason: they hypnotically address the unconscious mind, in a <br />way that brilliantly bypasses resistance.&nbsp; </p>
<p>You see, when you ask yourself a question, your unconscious mind cannot help but <br />begin to search for an answer.&nbsp; This is simply the way the unconscious mind <br />works &mdash; ask it a question, it begins to generate answers.&nbsp; And the answers to <br />questions like, &#8220;Why are you so happy lately?&#8221; are, indeed, useful answers to <br />know.</p>
<p>But more importantly, an afformation is a loaded question.&nbsp; Which means that in <br />order for your unconscious mind to work on answering, it must accept the premise <br />with which the question is loaded.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really quite brilliant.</p>
<p>Now of course, when someone uses loaded questions against you maliciously, it is <br />important to identify the trick and block the trojan horse from entering your <br />mind.&nbsp; </p>
<p>But given that the premises with which you are loading your afformations are, <br />presumably, premises or psychological realities you want to install, there is <br />obviously no need to block them out.&nbsp; </p>
<p>That is to say, you can &#8220;trick&#8221; yourself enthusiastically and with a clear <br />conscience.</p>
<p>So: Why am I feeling so happy lately?&nbsp; Why am I making such a good living?&nbsp; <br />Why am I setting boundaries so clearly and straightforwardly?&nbsp; Why am I learning <br />so much about life, and at deeper and deeper levels?</p>
<p>Go ahead, try some of these out right now, out loud!&nbsp; See what it feels like.</p>
<p>And then, whatever state of affairs you&#8217;re looking to promote within yourself or <br />in your life, I&#8217;d heartily propose that you experiment further with <br />afformations.&nbsp; Ask, ask, and ask again; imbue your questions with a spirit of <br />intense curiosity; and then watch what happens over the next few weeks, months, <br />and years.&nbsp; </p>
