Dieting can be so hard on a woman’s body by not eating right.
New research shows that eating more dairy foods rich in protein, calcium, and vitamin D can prevent that while helping to lose weight.

It’s amazing how you can read something over and over and always get something new. It’s so beneficial to remind yourself of your self-talk, truths, etc.
It’s definitely similar to a mirror. We always have to go back to it because we forget what we look like.
Commit yourself to be all in and realize your dreams. Whatever you conceive, it is possible. Don’t be afraid. Those that never make a mistake are those that never try. Don’t be afraid to fail. Without imagination there would be no electricity, the automobile, and anything else that makes our lives easier.
Go forth and dream! Go forth and achieve! Believe in yourself!
I know you can do it!!!
This chapter is amazing. Failure is our own decision and we must get up and replan.
Chapter 7 – Organized Planning
OPPORTUNITY has spread its wares before you. Step up to the front, select what you want, create your plan, put the plan into action, and follow
through with PERSISTENCE. “Capitalistic” America will do the rest. You can depend upon this much— CAPITALISTIC AMERICA INSURES EVERY PERSON THE OPPORTUNITY TO RENDER USEFUL SERVICE, AND TO COLLECT RICHES IN PROPORTION TO THE VALUE OF THE SERVICE. The “System” denies no one this right, but it does not, and cannot promise SOMETHING FOR NOTHING, because the system, itself, is irrevocably controlled by the LAW OF ECONOMICS which neither recognizes nor tolerates for long, GETTING WITHOUT GIVING.
Wow what a chapter – Napoleon Hill leaves us without a single excuse for
failure! This chapter give us all the tools we need for success.
Once we have used our imaginations and decided what we want – then we are
ready to follow the principles, instructions and guidance that this chapter
offers.
We cannot expect to receive any more than we are truly worth to the
marketplace. We must get rid of all entitlement attitudes. We must go much
further and offer far more in value than we get paid for.
This step towards riches that Hill is talking about requires anyone who is
serious about applying the principles of this book to do a great deal of
honest soul searching, continued self analysis and adoption of great
leadership qualities. Hill describes the practical process we need to take
to position ourselves in life in the right vocation and it requires a lot
of honest effort on the individual.
After much soul searching and digging I have found that unless I believe I
can do something 100% I do not do it with all my heart. I recoil from the
pain of fear of failure. This chapter is probably the hardest advice to
follow that Napolean Hill gives, self examination. I believe this step
requires you to dig really deep and this takes time. In fact each year
Napoleon Hill recommends we do this self examination and honestly evaluate
ourselves.
Hill talks about the 30 reasons for failure and these are the ones I find
myself needing to do some work on. Some of them are still a mystery to me
as to why that is so.
First, is number 8, Procrastination, there are some things I need to do in
my business that I’m not doing through fear of rejection. To overcome this
I must increase my skills so I can have the confidence I need to go out and
talk to people locally and help them change their lives. Number 13, Lack of
a well defined power of decision ties in with this also. My first step is
to acquire the skills I need then make a definite plan of action.
Number 14, fear of rejection.
Number 16 Over caution this is my most recent affliction. I must remember
the past is past and have the confidence that I will not repeat my past
mistakes.
These are the ones that stick out for me the most, there are elements of
improvement needed in all areas. The thing that strikes me the most is I
must remain coach-able and open to hear positive constructive suggestions
from my mentors so that I can continue to grow and develop and strengthen
in all these areas.
My self analysis reveals that I have not attained the goals I had planned
for in a timely manner. My chief failing has been procrastination and fear
of rejection. I do need to work on my belief more so that I can take the
courage and take action on the parts of my business I know I need to. I’ve
never had trouble acting when I have the belief that I can do it.
I know the more I work and apply the teachings in this chapter the more I
will grow in the areas of success in my life and my business. I’m grateful
to belong to this mastermind group so we can all encourage one another and
embolden one another to these worthy goals.
forever grateful

This chapter is very long so we discussed it for two weeks. It’s by far one of the most important ones, too. Planning is essential. The saying, fail to plan, plan to fail is soooo true.

In this chapter Napoleon Hill tells us that desire and imagination are nothing without sound, concrete plans to put them into action. In short, we must do everything we can to ensure success. We have God given gifts and then we have areas that we need to develop. Only through our own personal growth can we be of any use to anyone else.
Hill tells us that, “No man is ever whipped, until he QUITS – in his own mind. This line could go on to say that man must also begin or perhaps that would be construed as quitting from the get go. Inferred here is that one must have an awareness of things within that need developing. So many of us go through life without ever utilizing any sort of check list to determine why we have failed…it’s much easier to blame. Mr. Hill’s check list to determine why we may have failed, and believe you me it is a tough one to get through if one is doing an honest inventory, could take a life time of development to ensure success. Perhaps the most important step here is the awareness of the need to keep developing and the determination to not stop until we get there. How many times does Hill remind us that nothing will come without effort? The ONE dependable method of accumulating and legally holding riches is by RENDERING USEFUL SERVICE.
I have come to realize that when I serve others my focus is on them and not on me. Focusing on others and what I can do for them helps me develop myself. The by-product of this process builds my leadership ability and enhances my skills. This is what Jim Rohn means when he says, “what you become is far more important than what you get”. So far, my plan for my success has involved only me. Now I see it’s time to soundly and concretely expand my plan so that it is about serving the members of my team because their success will expand my success. I’m almost in tears here as I realize how Michael and others on the team patiently come along side us week after week and walk us through each passage way (which must be exhausting for them since we are all on different paths!) because their only desire is to serve us and help us to succeed. It inspires me and makes me feel unworthy all at the same time and all I can say is…thank you.

Organized PLANNING?
Not exactly. POWER is Organized EFFORT.
Many readers get sidetracked in this middle section of
TGR. They forget about the BASICS:
1. DEFINITE CHIEF AIM. This is not a one-time goal, or
a pinnacle – this Your Major Life Purpose, Your WHY.
2. BURNING OBSESSION to LIVE Your CHIEF AIM. This is
not a passing fancy – this is the reason You rise from
sleep every day.
3. A grain of BELIEF You are LIVING in Your CHIEF AIM.
4. Repeated SELF-TALK to create Neural Pathways to
achieve Unconscious Competence.
5. Listen ONLY to those who have what You want. LEARN
by OBSERVING then, and by Your own EXPERIENCE through
ACTION. Remain COACH-ABLE as long as You draw breath –
You can NEVER know it all!
6. Focusing Most of Your Time on Your WHY, You allow
the Universe to feed You the HOW through the faculty of
IMAGINATION.
Greens see the word “organized” and go, “Woo-HOO! I get
to play with the file cabinet!”
When Hill uses the word he is talking about
coordinating and cooperating EFFORT in PERFECT HARMONY.
You know You can’t do this stuff alone – it takes a
TEAM. When Your Team is in Harmony, You have POWER.
Without Harmony (or organized via Fear), any Team will
crumble.
The primary reason most people fail in ANYTHING is
because they do things they do not enjoy. That is why
YOU MUST organize Your Mind, free of chatter, to
discover what You truly like to do.
If You truly dislike every aspect of Network Marketing,
then You will hurt Yourself by putting effort into it.
If the only reason You joined Your company is because
You thought You get rich quick, then please, please,
please get out of the business!
(If You have a small team of loyal customers and like
the products, then – by all means – keep Yourself bonus
qualified. Just don’t spend major Energy and Effort in
it.)
ALL great wealth is created via a Culture of SERVICE.
The major CHOICE You must make in Your life is HOW You
Will SERVE – it must be something You thoroughly enjoy
doing.
THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID FOR is one of the Key
Attributes of the Millionaire Mindset. Over time, the
Law of Increasing Returns will deliver money far out of
proportion to the service rendered.
The HABIT is also a Key Attribute of LEADERSHIP. We are
building a volunteer army here. We LEAD through
SERVICE.
Noticed that all Leadership Attributes are ATTITUDES,
not Skills.
Your Friend and Servant,

P.S. Your greatest asset is the CAPITAL VALUE of Your
MIND.

CHAPTER 7 – ORGANIZED PLANNING
The Crystallization of Desire into Action
The Sixth Step toward Riches
It is the workshop of the IMAGINATION which takes that DESIRE and produces the end results. Now there is CREATIVE IMAGINATION and SYNTHETIC IMAGINATION. For the most part we usually look at that SYNTHETIC IMAGINATION first. Those tried and proven things are given a new twist. How did that work – for Edison it took more 10,000 attempts before there was success. I think he had to dig into that CREATIVE IMAGINATION.
Hill reminds of our need for a Master Mind Group. (Compliance with this instruction is absolutely essential. Do not neglect it.)
Hill also reminds us that:
First. You are engaged in an undertaking of major importance to you. To be sure of success, you must have plans which are faultless.
Second. You must have the advantage of the experience, education, native ability, and imagination of other minds. This is in harmony with the methods followed by every person who has accumulated a great fortune.
If the first plan which you adopt does not work successfully, replace it with a new plan; if this new plan fails to work, replace it in turn with still another, and so on, until you find a plan which DOES WORK . Right here is the point at which the majority of men meet with failure, because of their lack of PERSISTENCE in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.
The most intelligent man living cannot succeed in accumulating money — nor in any other undertaking–without plans which are practical and workable. Just keep this fact in mind, and remember when your plans fail, plans have not been sound. Build other plans. Start all over again.
Temporary defeat should mean only one thing, the certain knowledge that there is something wrong with your plan. Millions of men go through life in misery and poverty, because they lack a sound plan through which to accumulate a fortune.
No man is ever whipped, until he QUITS — in his own mind. It is so easy to “take the count” at the first sign of defeat.
Most great leaders began in the capacity of followers. They became great leaders because they were INTELLIGENT FOLLOWERS. With few exceptions, the man who cannot follow a leader intelligently cannot become an efficient leader. An intelligent follower has many advantages, among them the OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE KNOWLEDGE FROM HIS LEADER.
The Major Attributes of Leadership
1. UNWAVERING COURAGE
2. SELF-CONTROL
3. A KEEN SENSE OF JUSTICE
4. DEFINITENESS OF DECISION
5. DEFINITENESS OF PLANS
6. THE HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID
7. A PLEASING PERSONALITY
8. SYMPATHY AND UNDERSTANDING
9. MASTERY OF DETAIL
10. WILLINGNESS TO ASSUME FULL RESPONSIBILITY
11. COOPERATION

This is a lesson from our Mental Cleanse by Loddy Micucci from Chapter 5
“Specialized Knowlege”

« on: October 19, 2011, 07:55:11 PM »

I just drove my son to school. It took approximately two and a half hours all up.
I hadn’t written a post for this topic. That was fine. However something was
stirring up inside me.
The magic of self talk proceeded to bring it to the surface.
So now I feel compelled to write about it.
Man I pity those nine to five office workers that have to fight the traffic everyday.
I just feel so blessed to only have to do it once a week.
Why do I feel compelled to write a post at this late hour?
Well it’s from all the brilliant posts that have been presented up till now.
Willena, David, Roisin, Steve Par and the list goes on, with every piece of
brilliance impacting strongly on my own situation and experiences.
Mentoring For Free is about having freedom! When you own your life
you are free.
Michael and our great leaders know that feeling. I am beginning to get a taste
for it.
The Mentoring For Free system is about solving all of the specialized knowledge challenges
we may have. The free stands for freedom to own our lives.
The system does this! It allows people to own their lives.
So how come only some people do it? Here is where it gets interesting!
What is the missing part of the equation?
It struck me like a sledge hammer as I battled the traffic on the way home.
Here is the system packed with everything that we need to own our lives
and I question it?
It’s too slow, it doesn’t work for me, I dont want to trick people into changing companies,
and a thousand other excuses will surface as my conscious mind diverts me from
the unavoidable truth.
Michael and Linda have virtually gift wrapped the freedom that I was looking for all along.
They hold it out with outstretched hands and I find a way to reject it?
Dah!
I have to take stock and have a good hard think about my why! I’m
the only one that can make my why a reality. It is up to me to balance the equation.
I need to get in the zone by having laser focus to work the
system to the letter.
I sense that up until now I have been faking it. My conscious mind has always
supplied an alibi for not achieving my desired goals.
After 13 months of mental cleansing and masterminding I shouldn’t have anything
holding me back.
Yet why am I not at where I want to be?
The answer is faith, belief, ego and trust. I thought all of this was in relation to the system.
Now as I dig deeper I realise that it’s about me!
Having faith, belief, trust and (surgically removing my ego) in me to balance out
the equation.
Nobody else can do it!
I have committed to travel this road and I must become the person I was meant to be.
This will give me freedom.
The system and the person I was meant to be equals unstoppable.
Love you all.
Loddy Micucci.

I’ve been on a mental cleanse for the last week and half. I am trying to get rid of all the unnecssary chatter that goes on by saying my positive affirmations, my why, and by not listening to the news. Easier said that done but nothing’s really worthwhile unless it’s challenging. Right?
We are reading Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill. It’s been really good. As a group, we go on the conference call every Wednesday at noon through Mentoring for Free. I suggest you get rid of all the chattering, to
Be more than you thought that you could be!
That is the age-old question. What should I eat before a workout?
Healthy Lifestyle Tip: Pre-Workout Snack That Torches Extra Calories
Before you spend time pumping iron or getting your heart pumping, feed yourself a little protein-rich snack. Research suggests that a protein fix before a workout could boost your metabolic rate and thus your calorie burn for a full 24 hours after you strength train.
Strength training revs up your body’s calorie burning from hours to days after a single session. And there are two reasons why: First, your body is simply working overtime to replenish the fuel – oxygen and blood sugar – you used up in your workout. But second, your body is also trying to rebuild the muscle broken down in the workout. As it turns out, a little extra protein may encourage your body to work even harder on that second part.
In a study done on exercisers, a protein-rich drink consumed 20 minutes before strength training resulted in an 8 percent increase in metabolic rate, and the increase lasted for a full day. However, a carb-rich pre-workout beverage only produced a modest boost in calorie burn rate afterward – just a 3 or 4 percent bump. All of which suggest that the extra protein in the first drink helped fuel a more powerful or extended muscle-rebuilding effort after the workout. So for extra calorie crunching, consider a little pre-workout protein fix, such as a slice of low-fat cheese, a hard-boiled egg, or a few ounces of Greek yogurt.

It’s been almost a week since I finished my 28 day cleanse. I feel like I have more energy and my desire for carbs and sweets have diminished greatly. I am so conscientious of my habits and behaviors. I am better at determining why I eat so I don’t eat out of boredom, habit, etc.
I encourage others to do this as well. You will feel and look better in 28 days!
Why not start? This will be the beginning of a new and improved you.
