The HBB Connection

One of the best sources I’ve encountered for living your best life came from McIntosh’s Steve Jobs commencement speech to Stanford University.

If you’re at that place in your life where you’re not sure which direction to take, listen to Steve.

If you’re feeling lost in your quest for the right home-based business, listen to Steve.

If you’re been struck a blow that is holding you down, listen to Steve.

His stories will help you find your way to greatness and peace.

Love and Success,

Because of various challenges clients have been facing while business building, I’ve decided to add a little “extra” to each ezine issue to help others who might also find themselves blocked in certain areas.

I’ll share them here as well for HBB Connection readers…

Challenges in business aren’t always business-related. Sometimes the biggest blocks to your progress are beliefs you have around relationships, money, body image, the economy, etc.

So starting today, I’ll be sharing some helpful resources you can refer to that can help you overcome issues that are interfering with your progress.

Because relationships (particularly the search for romantic relationships) are such an important factor in many of my clients, readers, colleagues, lives, we’ll start with the subject of love.

I’ll precede this with a disclaimer — I’m not the Love Guru (Guru Pitka, aka Mike Myers, has that ground covered :-), but do have respected colleagues and friends in the field who are helping thousands of people find love, happiness and true life partners.

If you find yourself distracted by thoughts of finding your soul mate and if you’ve tired of the traditional means of meeting someone, ie. blind dates, local singles dances, bars, etc., you may be ready for the Law of Attraction Singles site. 

Basic membership is free and gives you access to helpful relationship advice from LOA experts Bob Proctor, Dr. John DeMartini, Mark Victor Hansen and a host of others. It’s also the world’s only Law of Attraction-based dating service.

If your thoughts about LOVE are getting in your way, explore this site. Not only will you increase your awareness around the Law of Attraction, you’ll also meet like-minded individuals and receive excellent guidance from the top teachers in the field.

LOVE and Success,

While training astronauts for space travel, NASA made an amazing discovery on how our brains create new neuropathways after 24-30 days of continuous programming.

Now, you might be saying, “Yeah, so what? I don’t plan on visiting the moon anytime soon, what’s your point?”

The point is, this information can serve you in a very powerful way as you build your home business.

In order to create a successful business, you need to create new habits and learn new skills and this can be tough.

Although we always set out with the best of intentions, sticking to a new way of doing things is hard and it’s easy to fall off the path.

If you have a goal that you’re struggling to achieve, identify a new habit you have to form in order to meet that goal. Then, make a commitment to practice that habit for a minimum of 30 days.

Declare your intentions here for all to see. Writing down a goal gives it substance, makes it “REAL”. Writing it down and sharing it with others, gives it life and you an extra push.

I’ll start with my 30-day commitment. Post yours in the comments section and keep readers up-to-date on your progress. Use this thread as a source of commitment and support for yourself and generously share your support for others as they reach for their goals.

Here goes …

“I commit to getting out of bed at 5 each morning for 30 days. I commit to use this time to listen to training calls on the subjects of marketing, sales, and the Law of Attraction.”

Now it’s your turn… 

Take this powerful step towards creating your new habit, and start building momentum.

I marked last year as the Year of Experience and created and took advantage of every opportunity I could to create new experiences for myself.

I studied with top business minds, joined new mastermind groups, traveled thousands of miles to attend conferences and put myself into every position possible to experience new people, ideas, situations, locations, etc.

As a result, I collected more new experiences in 2007 than I had in the previous five years combined.

I have now deemed 2008 The Year of Growth.

How can I grow myself?

- professionally

- personally

- financially

- spiritually

- relationally

- physically

And the first step I took was purchase Jack Canfield’s Breakthrough to Success home study program.

Because I can’t attend his live event in Arizona this year due to a schedule conflict, I signed on for the next best thing.

This outstanding 7-day program set the foundation for an amazing year of growth in all areas of my life and business. Now it’s up to me to continue down that path as the year unfolds.

Consider creating a theme for yourself this year. Do you want to make this your year of:

- New Business Start-Up

- The Healthy Body

- Learning New Skills

- Improving Relationships

- Creating New Habits

Whatever it is that’s important to you, consider making it a theme for this year and from this point forward, let every decision you make and action you take revolve around honoring that theme.

This is a great way to keep your efforts focused so you don’t get sidetracked or derailed.

Make this your year to accomplish something important to you. Start with a theme and run with it!
