Course Description For: A SENSE OF DIRECTION

Workshop No.1 (PERSONAL POWER) You will learn that you become what you think about most of the time. This is the foundation principle of all religions, all philosophies, all psychology, and the entire science of success.

Hundreds of thousands of men and women have been interviewed extensively to find out what they think about most of the time. Now, we know what they think about and how they think about it. The good news is that you can learn to think and react like the most successful people in our society. Like typing on a computer, or riding a bicycle, you can develop a high level of personal magnetism and personal power, by practising thinking and acting the way other high achieving men and women do.

Based on 25 years of research we find that the one quality that predicts success and happiness more than anything else is the quality of optimism. On a scale of 1 to 10 successful people are generally far more optimistic than average people. They are unrealistically optimistic. They are cheerful far more and far longer than could possibly be justified by the circumstances.

Optimists, have two wonderful qualities.

First , because they are unrealistic they have a far higher expectation of success, in everything they do. Therefore, they are willing to try far more things, and experience far more from life than the average person. Since success is very much a matter of probabilities, the more different things you try, the more likely it is that you will try the right thing at the right time and achieve the success you desire. In sales and entrepreneurship, optimists are far more likely to make far more sales calls, or attempt far more different ways to build their businesses than average people. By trying more and more different things, they eventually stumble onto the customer who buys, or the idea that works.

The second quality of optimists, is that they have an unrealistic expectation of success, if they persist long enough. They are therefore, willing to call back on perspective customers far more often than the average sales person. As business people and entrepreneurs they are willing to persist far longer than the average and as a result, based on the law of probabilities, they eventually succeed.

They get from their life the results they want.

The average person living in our society doesn”™t know what it is that they really want from their life!

As a result, they don”™t take care of the hours, they postpone, they procrastinate, they don”™t have a schedule for the day. They wander around reacting to events as they happen and not being prepared ““ because they didn”™t plan.

In the first workshop, you will discover, design, and plan the life that you want!

To have a plan – A SENSE OF DIRECTION – to get you from where you are now to where you want to be… Is the purpose of Workshop No.1 ““ “YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE”

Workshop No. 2 (MANIFESTING SUCCESS) In this workshop you will learn to focus your thoughts on the things that you want, and off the things you don”™t (or shouldn”™t) want. Your mind is a marvellous and amazing organ. Your thinking has the ability to make you healthy or unhealthy, happy or sad, successful or unsuccessful. Your brain has the capacity to function at very high levels of creativity and inspiration, or very low levels of hostility and anger.

Imagine that your brain has a dimmer switch. This dimmer switch can be turned up high, or can be turned down low; it can be bright or dark. Each time you think happy, positive, optimistic thoughts, the dimmer switch on your brain turns onto full brightness. You are more creative, more energetic, and more personable. You radiate magnetism and charisma, you are far more powerful and influential in your relationships with other people, with your dimmer switch, your brain, on full.

On the other hand when you are worried, or angry, or afraid, your dimmer switch is turned all the way down. You begin to function from the emotional and instinctive parts of your brain, rather than the creative parts. These parts of your brain cause you to react with negativity, pessimism, depression, anger and blame. Not only that, but negative thoughts make you tired and fatigued, they drain you, they shut down your creativity. They reduce your ability to get along well with other people. If you engage in negative thinking long enough, you will undermine all your hopes for success, in business, sales, entrepreneurship, and personal relationships.

The fact is this: Positive thoughts empower you and make you stronger, while negative thoughts disempower you and make you weaker. And the choice of what you think about and how you think about it, is always up to you. You are responsible.

If you can accomplish just one goal from this course. And that is to become a totally, optimistic, happy, self-confident person. That one achievement would do more to improve the quality of your life than anything else that could happen to you.

The good news is that an optimistic self-confident way of looking at life is learnable.

Pessimistic people have learned to develop an attitude of helplessness. They feel incapable of changing, or improving their situation in anyway. As a result, they set few goals, they make very few plans, and they have very few expectations. They meander through their working days and then go home and watch television. They seldom read, they never listen to audio programmes, and they don”™t attend self-improvements seminars. They are convinced, maybe even unconsciously, that it”’s no use. They have developed learned helplessness. But this is not for you!

The fact that you”™re reading about this self-improvement programme shows that you already have an interest in your personal development ““ Congratulations! This action places you in the top 5% of the population. It”’s nice to be different!

This course is dedicated to all the people who have a dream, yet to be fulfilled.

” YOUR DESIRE IS THE STARTING POINT OF ALL ACHIEVEMENTS”

A Sense Of Direction

So what does success look like to you?

We all see success differently. Our aspirations are influenced by our upbringing, our environment, our image of ourselves and the people we live and work alongside. Success is not just about having more money, nor is it about simply feeling happy. It is deeper than that.

The theory of success

There’s been a lot of research carried out to find out what makes us feel successful. Perhaps the best-known work was carried out by Abraham Maslow. He was a New York psychologist and academic who studied human behaviour in the first half of the last century. He summarised his work in what he called a ‘hierarchy of needs’. What he said was simple: without the basic needs covered, you won’t have the time or inclination to worry about anything else. In order of importance, these are the things that made up his hierarchy of needs:

1. Food, water and warmth – this is all that matters when you’re cold and hungry

2. Personal safety – if you feel threatened, little else matters

3. Once fed and safe you begin to want to be with other people

4. With other people, you want to feel needed and respected

5. Once respected, you want to realise dreams and ambitions

In our modern society, the chances are you are already at steps four or five on that list. Success then is really about feeling that you belong, that you are getting noticed, and that what you are doing is good for both you and the people around you. It sounds simple, but of course the complexities of life make it quite difficult.

A Sense Of Direction

A Fr*ee Gift of Prosperity

Dear Fellow Achiever

Today is my birthday (43) and as the founder of XQISIT LIFESTYLES, I’d like to take this opportunity to share our good fortune as a ‘Thank You Gift’ to all our subsribers.

Attention: Anyone who wants to break Fr*ee from life’s rat-race . . .

Showing a Simple and Scientific Way to Prosperity, Harmony, and True Happiness.

The Goose That Laid the Golden Eggs is one of many fables attributed to Aesop. In the English language, “Killing the golden goose” has become a metaphor for any short-sighted action that may bring an immediate reward, but will ultimately prove disastrous.

In Aesop’s fable a man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose which laid a golden egg every day. Lucky though they were, they soon began to think they were not getting rich fast enough, and, imagining the bird must be made of gold inside, they decided to kill it in order to secure the whole store of precious metal at once. But when they cut it open they found it was just like any other goose. Thus, they neither got rich all at once, as they had hoped, nor enjoyed any longer the daily addition to their wealth.

Much wants more yet oft loses all, and greed destroys the source of good. The moral of this story therefore is: Think before you act. The eBook PROSPERITY Plus teaches the reader how to train the mind to think in a constructive way that will produce enduring prosperity and lasting success.

The “Plus” factor is the establishing of a “Prosperity Consciousness” utilizing Proven Scientific Principles that Guarantee Success when followed over a period of time. These principles will in due course help you grow into the consciousness of the dynamic Superman, attracting to yourself the very best that life has to offer.

You will in time become a creative channel for values enriching everybody. As you saturate your mind with this sense of abundance you will have the power within you to make everyone who touches you richer and happier for the contact.

If someone could show you that there is a definite “science of money-making” which lies not outsideyou but right down inside your own mind, you would be greatly interested, would you not?

Well, that’s what the author of this book has set out to do. In it he shows that there is a psychology of creativeness which, when applied to business, inevitably succeeds.

And we are not talking mere theory here. The author of this book, John Seaman Garns, taught these principles over many years and received testimony of scores of men and women, that the technique of mind explained in this book have helped them from poverty to affluÂence. These principles work, I know that. And I feel sure that you will agree with me when you have tried them.

Briefly, what is given you in the pages of this eBook is a technique of creaÂtive thinking,””a way of handling your mind, which, if practised, inevitably brings results.

To make “abundance” a certainty in your life, I recommend that you print this eBook out and keep it beside you for a year. Once you write its technique upon your heart and in the habitual reactions of your mind, never will Old Man Poverty dare to show himself to you again.

Someone has said, “Every business or income is but the lengthening shadow of some mans mind producing.” That’s it! We are either good producers or poor ones, and every man’s ability to produce is a law-governed process. Hence, it is subject to improvement.

Becoming prosperous is not a matter of trial and error … It is a scientific process with clearly defined rules!

You will find nothing revolutionary or earth-shatteringly new here. That is, every man or woman who has ever succeeded from the beginning of time has done so by the application of the principles stated in this eBook. You have used them many times yourself, and have been rewarded. The trouble has been that you did the thing unconsciously, and you can’t repeat.

This book was originally published way back in 1938, and original copies are very scarce indeed, but thanks to today’s digital technology Xqisit Lifestyles are able to offer you this previously extremely hard to find and sought after volume Fr*ee to our subscribers. In just five minutes from now you could be discovering prosperity principles and techniques that will benefit you for the rest of your life.

The function of these “Talks” is to make this Law or Technique by which you always have succeeded, when you did succeed, so plain that you henceÂforth USE IT CONSCIOUSLY, and may thus always succeed by a consciously used scientific process, and not by a method of trial and error.

Here are the main topics discussed in this very well written, easy to read and informative eBook:

	Introducing You to Prosperity (Talk 1) . . . . .
	You Already Have the Power (Talk 2) . . . . .
	Our Feelings Intrude (Talk 3) . . . . .
	Business Conditions Are Not Causes (Talk 4) . . . . .
	A Case From Life (Talk 5) . . . . .
	How It Works (Talk 6) . . . . .
	Five Steps to Mastery (Talk 7) . . . . .
	Establishing Prosperity Consciousness . . . . .
	Training the Mind to Higher Efficiency . . . . .
	Prosperity Sidelights . . . . .
	The Game Fish Swims Upstream (Sidelight 1) . . . . .
	You Can Do Anything (Sidelight 2) . . . . .
	The Awakening of Man’s Mastership (Sidelight 3) . . . . .

Although there is nothing complicated here, don’t reject the simple teaching outlined in this eBook till you have put it into operation for at least three months. Then you’ll know that there truly is a LAW of PROSPERITY and a Technique by which you may make it work for you.

Original copies of this very hard to find book sell for upwards of Â£30, and this new eBook version is currently being sold for Â£10, but as a ‘Thank You Gift’ from XQISIT LIFESTYLES to our subsciribers. You can download this ebook Fr*ee from the special link provided!

It is not enough merely to understand how to operate the mind and expect at once to create for one’s self and for others, anymore than it would be enough to read books on the science and art of swimming, and then assume that one were able at once to swim.

There is a knack of using the mind so that it consistently and inevitably proÂduces. In the first place, most people have lived for years in a sense of limitaÂtion which might be called a “poverty consciousness,” and they must develop a deep conviction of “abundance” as the normal condition under which the inÂdividual should work. Not only so, but the technique of creative thinking must be not merely a formula objective to one’s self but must be a skill handed over to the deeper mind so that in nerve centres, in emotional reactions, in judgÂments, and in attitudes of mind, both toÂward the self and toward the universe, the individual is keyed to produce.

This eBook has as its chief purpose the giving of brief lessons in training of the mind for this kind of creative activity.

Some people pretend to scorn such commerce as outlined within the pages of this eBook. They say that “business is dirty,” and they call pounds “filthy lucre.” But you will notice that they spend from eight to sixteen hours a day busily chasing after a livelihood.

Most people, however, come to realize that “making money” is, or should be, a truly creative process, and they would be more than happy to know more about it scientifically. They see that even though we are all interested in “higher things,” that we shall only be able to attend to them with fr*ee minds when we can easily supply all our immediate needs, not at a bare subsistÂence level, but in the realm of abundance and even of moderate luxury.

“But,” you remonstrate, “do you mean to tell me that any book (to say nothing of this one) can tell a man or woman how to make money?”

And to this the author of this book replies: “That’s exactly what I do mean to say. And I have proved the worth of these ideas by asking several hundred people to test their value beÂfore writing them down in these pages. I know scores of folk who have doubled and trebled their producing power by means of the principles which I have set down. So please don’t preÂjudge these ideas. Try them. ExperiÂment before you close the doors. I know what the result will be.”

A School of Expression teacher and one time President of the International New Thought Alliance, Dr. John Seaman Garns was an expert in the field of business leadership and management training, and said that “Real leaders are ordinary people with extraordinary determination.”

Many books have been written on the subject of prosperity and the acquirement of material wealth, but few explain the principles and techniques so clearly and in such simple terms as this one. This book is not a long drawn out, complex exposition on the power of thought, requiring a certain amount of mental gymnastics just to read and understand! This is 76 pages of practical help and sound advice on building a “Prosperity Consciousness” and thereby attracting abundance in a most natural way.

Leaders are readers, and by reading, absorbing, and practising the principles and techniques explained in this eBook you will be able to train your mind for high efficiency and the attainment of prosperity, harmony, and true happiness.

Are you determined enough about becoming prosperous and successful in life to invest some of your time in your future?

At XQISIT LIFESTYLES we know that you are a lifetime learner, and offer you this Fr*ee “Thank You Gift!”

THE MIRACLE OF THINK AND GROW RICH

Achieve Impossible Dreams

(If the audio excerpt does not begin automatically click here)

When you were in early school, you felt like you were the unluckiest person on earth, for you were burdened with the task of learning alphabets and numbers which seemed to be an almost impossible thing to do! A few months hence, you proudly wrote your name on paper and boasted of your little achievement! Your parents watched you in awe and were so thrilled that their little child has learnt to read and write! Transformation of a small dream into reality.

A new born baby does not know the laws of the society. It is ruled by the “˜id”™ which are basic instincts that we are all born with. As we grow up, we learn to live with certain constraints and be a part of the society. We learn that certain things are “˜possible”™ and certain things are “˜impossible”™. But from where exactly has this concept of impossibility crept into our minds? How do you know that a particular task is “˜impossible”™ to achieve?

Our “˜ego”™ is meant to protect us from prospective dangers. Based on past experiences, the ego makes judgments. However, one should not let ego control him/her. Instead, from the moment one starts taking control of the ego, all the so called “˜impossible”™ things will suddenly seem “˜possible”™, almost instantaneously!

We have preconceived notions about various things and we assume that it is “˜reality”™. Eg: When you touch a hot stove by mistake, you take your hands off almost immediately by reflex action. So the “˜ego”™ has learnt that fire is dangerous. Now if someone asks you to voluntarily touch a hot stove, you will not, because, your ego warns you against consequences. On the other side, have we ever wondered how certain people have been able to walk on fire?! They have proved that fire-walk is NOT impossible. These are the people who take control of their ego. This is the first step to achieve any dream that you think is impossible.

What we see is only our perception. To a large extent, our perception is influenced by our level of awareness. Sometimes, we find some problems difficult to solve. The same problem will look a lot easier when you look at it a little later. This happens because we grow constantly and we should work towards gaining more knowledge and increasing our level of awareness. Those who achieve the impossible have an everlasting thirst for knowledge. The more you gain of it, the concept of “˜impossibility”™ will vanish from your mind.

There are only three key focus points to achieving impossible dreams: Clarity, Commitment and Focus. Be clear of what your “impossible dream” is. Have the burning desire in you to convert it into reality. Channel all effort towards achieving the dream with a single and focused mind.

Visualize yourself and your state of mind when after having achieved the goal. How would you feel? Wonderful, right?! You feel are in a state of renewed confidence and self-worth. Keep these fruits in mind, and work towards it. Draw a road map to achieve the goal. Put down the goals in writing and stick it on your wall/pinboard such that you are reminded of it everyday. Establish timelines, review your progress periodically and take alternative courses of action when necessary.

The ultimate mantra is to dream BIG. Balance time and resources; take efforts to do things that will lead you one step closer to your dream every time. As you dream bigger, you will find yourself constantly raising the bar for yourself and sooner or later, you will realize that NOTHING is “˜impossible”™.

A Sense Of Direction

Are You A Mr. Assertive Or A Mr. Aggressive?

(If the audio excerpt does not begin automatically click here)

One of the most essential skills needed in handling people and situations is assertiveness. You are assertive if you are clear in letting others know about your expectations without any anxiety or hesitation. This is one area of development to be focused on when coaching executives. Many in management sectors confuse “˜assertiveness”™ with “˜aggressiveness.”™

What are some of the differences between assertiveness and aggressiveness?

If you are assertiive you ask people of what you want directly and openly. There is an air of reassurance and confident around you at all times. While you do ask for your wants and preferences, you make sure to respect other people”’s rights and you do not expect others to know what is on your mind without expressing yourself.

If you are aggressive you try to get what you want in someway or the other and you may often cause bad feelings in others. You may resort to different tactics – request, beg, entice, persuade, manipulate or threaten as your means to get what you want. In the process you do not respect other”’s rights or feelings. You do not even look into situations that may get both sides what they want, such as win-win situations.

Aggressive behavior might help one to achieve immediate or short-term results but the longer outcome is a steady decline in performance due to unpopularity and non- cooperation from others who are often victims of aggressive or bullying behavior. With the result the aggressive person ends up being over stressed and depressed. Mr. Aggressive is often not supported by his colleagues and is therefore unable to reach his goals in his career.

Mr. Assertive is able to lead, direct and motivate without much of huff and puff. Since he already is clear about what he wants and is able to convince others without hurting their sentiments and feelings he is popular among employees and he gets good cooperation from his colleagues.

An assertive person is able to give unequivocal direction and leadership through his positive motivational messages to his team members. As a result he is able to achieve his goals sooner and rises up the corporate ladder easily.

Body language is an important factor of assertiveness. You could keep the following in mind if you would like to develop assertiveness:

A warm smile or a friendly expression shows respect to your listener
Maintaining eye contact shows that you are actively listening to the other person
A relaxed and straight stance should be adopted during communications
Your hands should be kept in an open position to show candidness.

Assertiveness in appropriate situations is bound to win you friends and supporters in your career and in society.
