			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>There are times when it is difficult to make sense of the experience we have in Life. How are we to get ahead without money? How are we to overcome intangible obstacles? How are we to move through the challendges, difficulties and limitations we face at every turn? It may seem that no matter how hard you try, something or someone is there to block you. In those times remember the words of Dr. Benjamin Mays:</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; color: #0000ff;">It is not your education or ability;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large; color: #0000ff;">It is the quality of your mind that predicts your future.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>One of the “Success Systems Keys” to creating a life that you’ve always wanted, accomplishing your goals, and making your dreams come true, is taking regular focused action towards their achievement. One tool that has had a profound impact in my life, is something that I learned during one of my coach training programs.</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jimdonovan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/dreams.jpg"><img title="jims-jems-live-your-dreams" src="http://www.jimdonovan.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/dreams-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="198" height="198" /></a></p>
<p><strong>You have created a long-term vision, set your one-year goals based on that vision, and then broken those goals into smaller three month goals. We will now take it one-step further.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Look at your three month goals and see what you can do in the next thirty days to move toward this accomplishment. Then, write each of these on an index card, on your smart phone or iPad. These are something you can carry with you and read whenever you want.</strong></p>
<p><strong>You may want to complete a mini version of this exercise for a specific area of your life. I have a mini version for my books and writing, as well as, my seminars and business programs.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I also have one for my health and fitness goals. These simple tools help keep me focused and on track as I actively create the life I want to live.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I use my cards like this: On one side of the card I write the goal in an exciting and positive way, being sure to put a great deal of emotion into it, include why I want this, and how I will feel when it is accomplished.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Then, on the other side I listed specific actions that I will take during the next thirty days that will move me toward making the goal a reality. After using these cards for a period of time, I discovered some interesting things. Before I begin my day, or prior to working on a particular area I will read the card.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This puts me in the high, positive emotional state and I’m already attracting what I want to me. Additionally, I found when I do this, and then turn the card over and read my actions, more often then not, I will think of another small action that I can take to move me toward my desired outcome. I call this inspired action.</strong></p>
<p><strong>For example, in working with the card for my seminars recently, as I read my goal and looked at my list of actions, I was inspired to contact a non-profit agency and discuss how I might help them by leveraging my seminars. This “inspired action” will produce additional income for me and help the struggling charity raise some much needed money.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The reason this is so effective is that by first reading your goal, with feeling, you create a mental and emotional state that is conducive to manifesting it. The ideas that come while you are in that state tend to be more inspired and creative then what you might normally think to do.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The more passionate and excited you are about your goals and the more that you’re in that state of feeling as though they have already happened, the more you are tapping into the Higher Guidance that is available to us all.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Your sub-conscience mind will go to work to find new ways for you to accomplish your goals. Doors will open. The right people will come into your life. All sorts of things will occur to help you along your path.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you find this idea a bit to far out, I challenge you to use it for a few months and see if you don’t agree that the actions you are being inspired to take are significantly more creative than you have been used to.</strong></p>
<p><strong>This is not just a nice theory. All of the ideas, tools and techniques I write and speak about have been used successfully by myself and others.</strong></p>
<p><strong>I have never written anything without first using it in my own life for validation. I believe that this is one of the reasons people have responded so well to my coaching. I am able to Coach with certainty, having appointed myself as the test subject in my own life’s experiments.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4><strong>Ten new university studies confirm an amazing fact: If you want to be more successful, accomplish more goals, and improve your self-confidence, write down your objectives and achievements every day. Writing trains key parts of your brain to become more focused and motivated. But you have to state your goals in clear and positive ways. If you focus on negative thoughts, feelings, or doubts, you’ll become more emotionally distraught, and you’ll accomplish less than you can. But, as the research shows, if you simply write down three good things that happen to you each day, and do this for a week, your sense of happiness will continue to grow over the next three months!  Unlike placebos, the effects do not fade away.</strong></h4>
<p><strong>A new study by Gail Matthews demonstrated that you can increase your productivity by 50% simply by writing down your goals. And if you write out a clear action commitment, and share it with a colleague or friend, you’ll double your achievement/success rate.</strong></p>
<p><strong>All of my  training programs take into consideration the best research to enhance your chances of success by incorporating as many known elements to increase the likelihood of you achieving your goals. My tracking system sheet and ongoing support ensures that in addition to writing your goals, you receive the support needed to follow through on them.</strong></p>
<p><strong>When you are ready to go to the Next Level send a email to Coaching@MrTycoon.com.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Here’s How 1 + 1 equals 11!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Do the Math: If you are a business owner or entrepreneur  and you want to increase your revenue and find innovative ideas for your business, you need a mastermind!</strong></p>
<h3><strong>The What and Why of Masterminding</strong></h3>
<p><strong>You’ve all heard about it and seen the results successful business owners are achieving, but do you really know what a Mastermind is? In short, a mastermind is two or more people who come together to share their ideas, skills and knowledge to increase business revenue, create innovative solutions for complex business challenges, and form an alliance of minds to be the best they can be!</strong></p>
<h3><strong>Why Masterminding is Essential for Business and Personal Growth</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Masterminding is not a new idea, or the most recent business growth quick fix! Masterminding was first introduced by Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich, who said “No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind.” The most successful business owners, either now or in the past, have been involved in a mastermind group. Think Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and even Disney, all of whom have belonged to a mastermind group and have achieved enormous succ</strong></p>
<h3><strong>How a Mastermind can significantly improve your business</strong></h3>
<p><strong>It can be lonely at the top, and recent studies have shown that our brains work better when collaborating in groups versus relying solely on ourselves. Working in a group allows for the “third mind,” this greater intelligence, to expand what is possible. Wouldn’t it be great to have a group of people with opposing strengths that compliment one another? One of the key benefits in forming a mastermind group is having a support system in place with people who have a diverse skill set, unique experiences, and a desire to be the best. Also, a mastermind group provides a medium for you to share your unique skills and knowledge to reinforce what you know. Furthermore, you have instant accountability, and we all know that we are 90% more likely to achieve our goals when we have to answer to someone else! Making instant contacts and connections with other business owners is one of the many bonuses of a mastermind group.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>How to live a holistic life of personal development, in five straight-forward steps.</strong></h1>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>A - Aware (Being) Being aware turns our lives and improves them</strong>. It is not a one-time task, it is a life-long exploration. It can start in different ways, from different reasons. Being aware starts with understanding that the present is the only tense which really counts, and here the only place where we are. The past made us what we are today, and the future may give us the time to put our skills at the service of our beloved ones, but it is only here and now that we can do and make what we want to. Being aware also means considering the needs and wants of ourselves, the people who are dear to us, the people who do not arise any specific feeling in us, and the ones who we would not rather meet.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>M - Meditating Meditating can be done in a non-sectarian or religious way</strong>. Praying is a form of meditation, loving kindness is contemplated in meditation, meditating may also be a way to relax the mind. It can be done standing, sitting, walking, and it has also been said that sleeping may be the most effective form of meditation.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>A - Active (Being) Being active to put in practice what we learn is extremely important</strong>. That shows to us if we are motivated enough, and also provide a loop of thinking-acting-rethinking which is the way to progress. Holistic living is a state of mind, and also a state of action. One basic example about the importante of being active. We can find online thousands of tasty recipes, but even if we learn them by heart, they do not feed us. We can also find many advices about empowering people and solving the world's challenges; words and speeches are as important as the actions they inspire.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>R - Respectful (Being) Being respectful starts with respecting ourselves</strong>. By being both objective and loving about who we are, we build the start for improving relationship with the one we care for, and the world. Being respectful with ourselves is implemented in many ways: listening to our body, for signals it may be very comfortable, in need of a rest, etc. Listening to our feelings, needs and wants, and communicate them in a respectful way to our beloved ones.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>E - Eating (properly) Eating properly is self-evident</strong>: we are what we eat! Still, even if we heard it many times, we need to remind it to ourselves when we sit at the table. Eating properly is a form of respect towards our body; and also towards the generations which preceded us, and to whom we owe our nativity.</span></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>"<em>In reality there is perhaps not one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself...For even if I could conceive that I had completely overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility."</em> - Benjamin Franklin</strong><br />
<strong> "It's hard to be humble," says an old country <a title="Write a Song" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Write-a-Song">song,</a> "when you're <a title="Control Perfectionism" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Control-Perfectionism">perfect</a> in every way." Very few people, of course, actually think they're perfect in every way, but it can still be pretty hard to be humble, especially when you live in a society that encourages <a title="Eclipse Your Competition at a Job Interview" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Eclipse-Your-Competition-at-a-Job-Interview">competition</a> and <a title="Express Your Individuality" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Express-Your-Individuality">individuality</a>. Even in such a culture, however, humility is an important virtue. Learning to be humble is of paramount importance in most religions and <a title="Become More Spiritual" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Become-More-Spiritual">spiritual</a> traditions, and humility can also help you develop as a person and enjoy richer relationships with others.</strong><br />
<strong> <a name="Steps"></a></strong></p>
<h2><strong>Steps</strong></h2>
<p><strong><a name="Evaluate_Yourself"></a> Evaluate Yourself</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Conduct an honest evaluation of yourself. Honesty with yourself is the best policy. If you know you are weak in a certain area, your enemies will not be able to have that power over you. Accept yourself as you are.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Understand your limitations. No matter how talented you are, there is almost always somebody who can do something better than you. Look to those who are better and consider the potential for improvement. Even if you <em>are</em> the best in the world at doing one thing, there are always other things that you cannot do, and may never be able to do. Add to this the fact that there are a great many things that no person can do, and you can get some idea of your limitations. <em>Recognizing your limitations does not mean abandoning your dreams, and it does not mean giving up on learning new things or improving your existing abilities.</em></strong></li>
<li><strong>Recognize your own faults. We judge others because it's a lot easier than looking at ourselves. Unfortunately, it's also completely unproductive and, in many cases, harmful. Judging others causes strife in <a title="Improve Your Relationships" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Improve-Your-Relationships">relationships</a>, and it prevents new relationships from forming. Perhaps even worse, it prevents us from trying to improve ourselves. We make judgments about others all the time, usually without even realizing it. As a practical exercise, try to catch yourself in the act of judging another person or group of people, and whenever you do, judge yourself instead. Consider how you can improve <em>yourself</em>.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Think about yourself under different circumstances. Much of what we give ourselves credit for is actually a product of luck. Suppose you graduate from an <a title="Get Into an Ivy League School" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Into-an-Ivy-League-School">Ivy League university</a> at the top of your class. You definitely deserve a lot of credit for the many hours of studying and for your perseverance. Consider though, that there is someone just as <a title="Be Intelligent" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Intelligent">intelligent</a> and hardworking as you who had less supportive parents, grew up in a different place, or just had the bad luck to make one wrong choice in life. That person—you, really—might be in <a class="mw-redirect" title="Deal With Being in Prison" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Deal-With-Being-in-Prison">jail</a> now; they might be shivering in the entryway of a darkened storefront or clinging to life in a hospital bed. Or they may already have died, far from a hospital, from the very same illness for which your doctor treated you with a one-week course of antibiotics. Always remember that with a little bad luck yesterday, your whole life could be different today and, furthermore, that today could be the day your luck changes.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><a name="Appreciate_the_Talents_of_Other_People"></a> Appreciate the Talents of Other People</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Appreciate the talents and qualities of others. Challenge yourself to look at others and appreciate the things they can do and, more generally, to appreciate people for who they are. Understand that everybody is different and relish the chance you have to experience different people. You will still have your personal tastes, your likes and dislikes, but train yourself to separate your opinions from your fears and you will <a title="Love Others" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Love-Others">appreciate others</a> more - you will be humbler.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Stop comparing. It's nearly impossible to be humble when we're striving to be the "best" or trying to be better than others. Instead, try describing things more objectively. Rather than saying that so and so is the best guitarist ever, say what exactly it is that you appreciate about his skills, or simply say that you like his playing style. Let go of meaningless, simplistic comparisons, and you'll be able to enjoy doing things without worrying about whether you're better or worse at them than others.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><a name="Acknowledge_Your_Limitations"></a> Acknowledge Your Limitations</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Part of being humble is understanding that you will make <a title="Avoid Repeating the Old Same Mistakes All over Again" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Avoid-Repeating-the-Old-Same-Mistakes-All-over-Again">mistakes</a>. Understand this, and understand that everyone else makes mistakes, and you will have a heavy burden lifted off of you. Any one person can know only the smallest bits and pieces of the tremendous knowledge that has accumulated over the past. What's more, each person experiences only a sliver of the present, and knows little to nothing of the future.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Don't be afraid to defer to others' judgment. It's easy to acknowledge that you make mistakes and that you're not always right. Somewhat more difficult however, is the ability to acknowledge that in many cases other people—even people who disagree with you—may be right. Deferring to your spouse's wishes, to a law you don't agree with, or even, sometimes, to your child's opinion takes your recognition of your limitations to a different level. Instead of simply <em>saying</em> that you know that you're fallible, you take action based on that fact. Of course, if you know that a particular course of action is wrong, you shouldn't follow it. On closer inspection, though, you may realize that you don't actually know this as often as you think you do.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><a name="Rediscover_a_Sense_of_Wonder"></a> Rediscover a Sense of Wonder</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Rejuvenate your sense of wonder. Because we, as individuals, know practically nothing, you'd expect that we'd be awestruck more often than we typically are. Children have this sense of wonder, and it inspires the curiosity that makes them such keen observers and capable learners. Do you really know how your <a title="Clean a Microwave" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Clean-a-Microwave">microwave</a> works? Could you build one on your own? What about your <a title="Start a Car" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Car">car</a>? Your <a title="Exercise Your Brain" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Exercise-Your-Brain">brain</a>? A <a title="Draw a Rose" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Draw-a-Rose">rose</a>? The jaded, "I've seen it all" attitude makes us feel far more important than we are. Be amazed like a child and you will not only be humbled; you will also be readier to learn.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><a name="Continue_Learning_New_Things"></a> Continue Learning New Things</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Seek guidance. Contemplate moral texts and proverbs about humility. <a title="Pray" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Pray">Pray</a> for it, <a title="Meditate" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Meditate">meditate</a> on it, do whatever it takes to get your attention off yourself. If you're not into <a title="Become More Spiritual" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Become-More-Spiritual">spirituality</a>, consider the <a title="Use the Scientific Method" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Use-the-Scientific-Method">scientific method</a>. <a class="mw-redirect" title="Get Kids Interested in Science by Crushing a Can With Air Pressure" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Get-Kids-Interested-in-Science-by-Crushing-a-Can-With-Air-Pressure">Science</a> requires humility. It requires that you let go of your preconceived notions and judgments and understand that you don't know as much as you think you do.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Remain teachable. Find people you aspire to be like in certain areas, and ask them to mentor you. Under mentorship; good boundary setting, confidentiality and discernment is required. As soon as you cross the line of being 'unteachable', bring yourself back down to earth again.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><a name="Help_Others"></a> Help Others</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong><a title="Volunteer" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Volunteer">Help others.</a> A big part of being humble is respecting others, and part of respecting others is helping them. Treat other people as equals and help them because it is the right thing to do. It's been said that when you can help others who cannot possibly help you in return, you have learned humility.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Practice gentleness. Gentleness of spirit is the sure path to humility. Use 'Aikido' where possible when faced with conflict. ie. Absorb the venom from other's attacks and react with gentleness and respect.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><a name="Recognize_Your_Talents"></a> Recognize Your Talents</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Appreciate your talents. Being humble doesn't mean you can't feel good about yourself. <a title="Develop Self Esteem" href="http://www.wikihow.com/Develop-Self-Esteem">Self-esteem</a> is not the same as pride. Both come from a recognition of your own talents and qualities, but pride, the kind of pride that leans toward arrogance, is rooted in insecurity about yourself. Think about the abilities you have, and be thankful for them.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><strong><a name="Tips"></a></strong></p>
<h2><strong>Tips</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Keep in mind that being humble has many benefits. Humility can help you be more content with your life, and it can also help you endure bad times and improve your relationships with others. It's also essential to being an effective learner. If you think you know it all, you won't be open-minded enough to seek out new knowledge. Humility is also, somewhat counter-intuitively, an excellent tool for self-development in general. After all, if you feel superior, you have no incentive to improve. Most of all, being humble allows you to be honest with yourself.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Seek trusted and wise counsel and obtain accountability partners if you find this to be a weakness in your life. Pride comes before the fall and prevention is definitely better than cure.</strong></li>
<li><strong>It is fine to talk about yourself a little, but make a conscious effort to ask people about themselves too.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong><a name="Warnings"></a></strong></p>
<h2><strong>Warnings</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pretending to be humble isn't the same as being humble, and often people who pretend to be humble do it in order to seek out praise. Other people will recognize this, and even if you fool some, you won't derive the same benefits as you would through actually developing humility.</strong></li>
<li><strong>Similarly, don't confuse being humble with being sycophantic (being overly-praiseful of someone for your own profit). This is a common misconception, but the two attitudes are completely different.</strong></li>
<li><strong>While a bit of humility is a good thing, don't take it too far, thus becoming a doormat. Remember, everything in moderation.</strong></li>
</ul>
