Lifepath Unlimited Asks: Are You Ready or Are You Just Getting Ready?

Posted on by

The end of 2011 is a little over a month away. It is the time of year when we tend to take an Lifepath Unlimited Asks: Are you ready or are you just getting ready?inventory and assessment of our accomplishments over the last 11 months. We start to plan what we might possibly share in that Christmas letter that goes out to family and friends. What did I do? What did I achieve?

Most of us started the year with a fresh vision of what 2011 was to look like. In our minds we had an image of what was to be… personally, professionally, financially, relationally, physically. In January we were at “Point A” and in December we will be at “Point B”. For some, 2011 is their year. They consistently “seized the day” and find themselves victorious with their goals. For others, however, it is not uncommon to reach November and realize that the year was not as productive as planned. Some may actually find themselves further off course than when the year began. How does this happen? How do 11 months go by and we find ourselves no closer, or even further away, to a goal?

There are probably several answers and ways to look at this, however, one answer came to me during a personal mentoring session with Mitch Axelrod, author of The New Game of Business. Mitch consults with Fortune 500 corporations, small businesses and individuals on how to boost income, increase sales and profits and derive more fun, fulfillment and satisfaction from work.

His teaching is outstanding and during our session he asked a simple question, “Are you ready or are you just getting ready?”

I found his response to this question was very interesting: “Until you are ready, it is premature to talk about a solution.”

I found this response applicable to assessing our 2011 New Year’s resolutions…. perhaps we wanted solutions to problems that we weren’t really READY to solve. Perhaps we were “ just getting ready”. This answer implies that “Ready” has a certain resolve to it. That “Ready” requires overcoming. “Ready” requires courage and decision-making, and maybe even risk taking.

So, as we look at 2011 and plan for 2012 here are the questions to ask:

  •  Am I ready to be fit and lean… or am I just getting ready?
  • Am I ready to be a connected parent to my child… or am I just getting ready?
  • Am I  ready to be a spouse that loves and serves… or am I just getting ready?
  • Am I ready to grow in my faith… or am I just getting ready?
  • Am I ready to experience deeper more meaningful friendships with others… or am I just getting ready?
  • Am I ready to pursue that dream… or am I just getting ready?
  • Am I ready to read great books… or am I just getting ready?

The American poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said it well when he said, “We are always getting ready to live, but never living”.  It reminds me of the cat shifting from side to side getting ready to pounce on it’s prey.  Time waits for no one. It’s time to quit getting ready… let’s be ready.

Lifepath Unlimited offers products and programs for you when the answer is “Yes, I am ready”.  Contact me directly to find out how to jump start your 2012 at 573-256-1139 or lpuleader@gmail.com

Personal Development: The bridge between where you are and where you want to be.

The role of personal development in achieving your dreams.The Key to How Personal Development Bridges the Gap.

 

What is the role of personal development in accomplishing your dreams and goals?   I read the most powerful book recently that described how and why personal development is important.  The book is The Dream Cycle by Steve Moore.

One of the first concepts he explains is the Capacity Index.  Are you living to your full potential?  In other words, are you at 100% capacity physically, mentally, socially and spiritually?  The truth is that none of us are at 100%, but that is how we begin determining just where we are on this index.  If you are not at 100% then where are you?  Moore states that “most people rank themselves between 50 and 70 percent”.  The difference between 100% and where you rank (subjectively) is called your P/A Differential – the difference between what is POSSIBLE for you and where you ACTUALLY are.

Moore poses the question:  “What are you currently doing to increase the value of your ACTUAL capacity”?  He goes on to say that it is impossible to make progress toward your full potential unless you “grow purposely” and invest intentionally into your physical, mental, social and spiritual development.

The second concept that Moore explains is what he describes as the D/A Differential.  Going back to the index above, somewhere between where you ACTUALLY are and your full POTENTIAL is your DREAM.  Something you aspire to be or something you aspire to yet do.  Something that will take more of you than you have already given.  Something that stretches you to reach beyond where you are… that inspires you, energizes you and requires focus.   And the difference between where you are (ACTUAL) and your DREAM is the D/A Differential.

Don’t let the technical nature of this throw you.  Here is what Moore calls the really, really big question:  What will you do to close the D/A gap… the gap between where you are and your dream?  This, my friend is the role of personal development.  Moore describes it as a ‘unique relationship” between dreaming and growing.  He says that “the reason you keep growing is because your dreams are at stake”.   Moore also goes on to say that most of the time this is not because someone “risks everything, but because they risk nothing”.

The most powerful part of The Dream Cycle is a certain paragraph that I am going to quote word-for-word because it paints the role of personal development perfectly:

“To say that you have a dream yet fail to grow is like bluffing in the poker game of life.  It is pretending to be doing something that you really are not.  The problem is that destiny never folds; it always calls your bluff.  The time will come when you have to play your cards, make your move, seize the day.  In that moment, if you have not demonstrated ownership of your dream by acting on a commitment to grow, you will be left with an empty hand”. 

Don’t be left with an empty hand and an unfulfilled dream.  Personal Development is the key to bridging the gap between where you currently are and your dream.

The Best Business Model for Financial Freedom: A True 21st Century Business

Best Business Model for Financial Freedom

Click here to watch Robert Kiyosaki explain his Cash Flow Quadrant

What is the best business model for creating financial freedom?

Finding the best business model for creating financial freedom can be overwhelming and confusing even with the array of information available.  I prefer to rely on reputable sources and one such source is Robert Kiyosaki. He is an investor, businessman and best-selling author.  Three of his books, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Rich Dad’s CASHFLOW Quadrant, and Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing, have been on the top 10 best-seller lists simultaneously on The Wall Street Journal, USA Today and the New York Times.

Kiyosaki’s book, The Business of the 21st Century, loudly shouts the best business model for financial freedom is actually a business.  That may sound strange, but it is important to make mention of this fact.  He states “that working as an employee during a recession is the least reliable source of income there is”.

The best business model for financial freedom is one that reduces the typical barriers to achieving success in the business.

Franchises have become a popular business model and Kiyosaki addresses these.  The upside of a franchise is that much of the risk is removed by purchasing a system.  However, the number one barrier is the start up costs.  The better known franchises start over $100,000 and the best exceed $1 million.   Keep in mind that this expense is only for the rights.  There are additional costs for training, advertising and support.  In fact, Kiyosaki states that “one in three franchises eventually go broke”.

What is the best business model for financial freedom? 

According to Kiyosaki:  Direct Sales/Network Marketing and here’s why:

 

It’s a $110 billion dollar industry and growing.   The industry operates on the win-win principle.  You can achieve personal success and “help others create their own success as well”.  Lifepath Unlimited is the best business model for financial freedom as it is positioned in the top tier section of this industry.  Their compensation plan pays the highest profits in the industry.

 

Receive a Real-World Business Education.  Kiyosaki says that in order to be successful, there are three different types of education you require:  scholastic, professional, and financial.  A real-world education teaches overcoming personal fears and doubts, fear of rejection, communication and people skills, goal-setting and accountability.  Scholastic and professional educations do not often address these very crucial elements.  Lifepath Unlimited covers all the bases to help you succeed as you gain your real-world education.  Mentoring, goal-setting, business plans are conducted on an individual basis so that your needs are specifically addressed.

 

The opportunity for personal development.  Kiyosaki writes “Direct selling/network marketing gives you the opportunity to face your fears, deal with them, overcome them, and bring out the winner that you have living inside you.”   For many people this is the real victory.  Shedding long held fears and doubts is priceless.   Living at your highest self determines your destiny and your legacy.  Lifepath Unlimited offers the best personal development program in the industry.  In fact, it is designed to be repeated for continued growth in all aspects of your life.

Kiyosaki addresses six other assets of this industry that can secure your future.  It is a must read for any entrepreneurial minded individual looking to find the best business model for financial freedom.

Lifepath Unlimited is the best business model for financial freedom as it is a direct fusion of the common sense business models that Kiyosaki promotes.

It put together the best features of franchising, direct selling and and network marketing to produce the best business model for financial freedom ~ a powerful 21st Century hybrid that delivers results!

My Short Love Story with Lifepath Unlimited’s 56 Days of Discovery

Lifepath Unlimited’s

56 Days of Discovery

Improves Marriages!

Lifepath Unlimited’s 56 Days of Discovery provides insight and tools to help you have valuable, healthy, loving, fun and healing relationships.  One of the most significant relationships a person can have is a marriage. Unfortunately, the divorce rate for first marriages in America is around 41%.  It climbs to 60% and 73% for second and third marriages, respectively.  Just think of how many men, women and children have personally been affected by divorce.   Marriage does not need to be this way.

I am so grateful for the 56 Days of Discovery Series focus on improving relationships, especially between a husband and a wife.  I have been married for 21 years to a wonderful man. We started our marriage out like most people… totally in love with each other, dreams of creating a life together that included commitment through the good and bad times, having and raising children together, creating a home environment that was loving, experiencing some adventure and growing old together.

Over the years, however, I have discovered that “together” hasn’t always been fun.  That man I fell in love with actually has some annoying habits.  We don’t always agree on important issues.  I haven’t always felt in love with him, and there were times I just didn’t even like him (he would say the same for me as well).  Every year, more couples I know get divorced after their children leave home.   How do two people go from having such dreams and goals together, from losing children and/or parents together, from sharing so many of life’s ups and downs together to having nothing in common with that person 20 years later?  What happens?  The truth is marriage is hard.  All relationships of value are hard.  For this reason the 56 Days of Discovery devotes an entire pathway to creating great relationships.

Lifepath Unlimited’s 56 Days of Discovery offered me a powerful exercise that improved my marriage.  It is an exercise called “The Short Love Story”.  It’s very simple:  write your love story in 50 words.  I thought it would be a piece of cake.  I mean, fifty words is a lot, right?  I was floored at my first attempt… over 100 words.  It took awhile, but I whittled it down to 50 words.  In the process, however, a beautiful thing happened.  I recalled everything about how we met, everything about him that made me smile, how he proposed to me, and our wedding.  I remembered how he supported me as we lost a child, how strong and courageous he had been through the years.  Tears were streaming down my face as the clouds of his imperfections and annoying habits blew away.  I was able to see clearly the man I fell in love with 21 years ago.  I was able to see clearly only the good in him, the things that make him unique and special.

I encourage and challenge you to write your short love story.  Even better… write them separately and share them together!

 

My Short Love Story

It was a chance meeting at a stop light.  Another chance meeting 2 days later.

The attraction grew into friendship, into respect and into love.

Then came the end.  There was no more time.  They parted for “forever”.

Love doesn’t let go.  It attracts.  It’s strong.  It overcomes.  It Wins.

 

Thank you Lifepath Unlimited’s 56 Days of Discovery for helping me see my husband clearly!

 



Lifepath Unlimited Scam

Lifepath Unlimited Scam

Is Lifepath Unlimited a scam? Most people reach this page because they are considering starting a home based business with Lifepath Unlimited and are doing the first stage of research… checking out what’s on the internet to see if there is a Lifepath Unlimited scam!   Type in the name of any company or person and you will most likely find the word “scam” as a possible search.  It’s just the way the internet works.

How do you decide if Lifepath Unlimited is a scam?

First, it is important to clarify the difference between a legitimate business opportunity and a scam.  By definition a scam is “the act of swindling by some fraudulent scheme”.   Scams are real and should not be taken lightly.  Most of us have received emails about being the recipient of a large sum of money from someone’s estate.   A business opportunity can be defined as an “an opportunity that involves the sale or lease of any product, service, equipment and so on that will enable the purchaser-licensee to begin a business”.

Lifepath Unlimited is an opportunity to begin a business that involves the sale of tangible products of value, therefore, there is no Lifepath Unlimited scam.  Not enough to satisfy you?  Here is a checklist of things to ask yourself when looking into Lifepath Unlimited or any other business opportunity.

 

HOW TO DISCERN IF THERE IS LIFEPATH UNLIMITED SCAM!


1. Am I cautious or am I skeptical?

The spirit in which you look will determine what you will find.  Keep in mind that the Direct Sales/Network Marketing industry has never been as main stream as being an employee.  Because it has been a non-traditional way of making a living, it often has the image of being a scam.   However, this image is rapidly changing as more people are looking for an alternative means to create an income and lifestyle for themselves.  This industry is going mainstream, and as it does its image is changing.  Read for yourself a recently published Wall Street Journal supplement about the industry:  http://www.businessforhome.org/wp-content/uploads/DSN_WSJ_book.pdf.  You may decide you are interested in this industry or you may find out that it is not for you.  You will definitely learn that there is no Lifepath Unlimited scam.

 

2. Have I looked at Third Party Reviews? 

A company that has been around for awhile will have received some third party reviews.  Such a review tells you that a company does in fact exist, and how it compares to other companies in its industry.  Take a look at what the recent report published by Home Business Consumer Review has to say about Lifepath Unlimited.

Comparing top-tier companies in the direct sales industry, the HBCR report ranked Lifepath Unlimited number 1 overall.  LifePath Unlimited received top honors in all categories reviewed: 1) products marketed, 2) profit potential, 3) longevity, and 4) systems.

The mission of The Home Business Consumer Review is “to look at the facts, remove the hype and give you a qualified objective analysis of the home-based business opportunities that exist so that you can make better informed decisions regarding this critical choice in your life”.  This third party review will help you discern that there is no Lifepath Unlimited scam.

 

3. Is there an opportunity to connect with the business community and have I done so?

Community is important.  It is vital to enjoy and feel that you “fit” the business community you are joining.  Lifepath Unlimited offers a variety of LIVE community calls each week.  Guests are welcomed and encouraged to join these calls.  This is where you learn more about the company by getting a feel for the community.  Here  you are able to listen to members of the community share about their experiences or to trainers sharing about a certain aspect of the business.  Once you take the time to peek into the Lifepath community you may be excited or you may decide it’s not a good fit, but either way, you will know that there is no Lifepath Unlimited scam.

 

4. Do I value hearsay and opinion or over my own experience?

This is a principle I most often see neglected.  It’s amazing the number of people willing to make business decisions (or other life decisions) based on the opinion of an anonymous internet post versus taking the above steps and relying on their own ability to discern.  One lesson that life has taught me is: do not believe everything I read or hear about someone.  There have been many times I received a bad report (or gossip) about someone only to decide for myself that I did not experience that person in the same way they were gossiped about.  In other words, take the negative into consideration, but always VERIFY for yourself.

 

Is There a LifePath Unlimited Scam?

NO.  There is no Lifepath Unlimited scam, but is it right for you?  Only you can decide.

LifePath Unlimited is committed to being the best top tier business opportunity in the industry and provides some of the best personal development products.  In fact, Lifepath Unlimited offers a full money-back guarantee on their Discovery course.  If you purchase and complete the 56 day course in earnest and are not completely happy with your results, your money will be returned.

You are invited to take a guest tour of the LifePath Unlimited products and opportunity… find out for  yourself why so many people are getting started with this opportunity.
