thanks for your tips. It is certainly true that SEO takes time, and overnight success with a campaign is extremely rare these days.

Re: The Real Scam: Tai Lopez On How You’ve Been Lied To

Tai Lopez is on point. Unfortunately it's getting worse every single time. We get exposed by TV all over. Not just TV, but the internet, our devices, it's ALL over.

We are here to make a difference and the better we make our lives and help the others around us to make a better life for themselves, the better off we will be. And we need to make this a focus of our lives on a daily basis.

I agree that action and creating new habits is the key to success, and leadership unlocks doors in our professional and personal lives. Even though I know this, sometimes it is hard to actually TAKE action. I've been using www.EasyGoals.com, which is a goal-setting platform, to help motivate me when I'm feeling a bit unactionable. The program sends texts and emails as often as every day, so it's impossible to forget what my goals are. It may help others in a similar situation, so I wanted to share. Thanks for a great post.

Stephen Covey positively many lives and institutions. His works would continue.

I agree with you that when we focus our attention on helping others, miracles will
happen. Being self-centered will only lead to defeat. When we see the value and gifts of others it will create something extremely powerful. Thanks for this article to remind us all to put
others first.

Re: Are You Making a Difference in the Lives of Those in Your Social Netwoks?

John Clark — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:59:16 -0000

David,

I would suggest not to be in a zero sum game situation. This is a problem that we run into, with scarcity thinking we would think that what we see is all that there is. But this is not the case, there is ALWAYS something that we can do in a creative way that will satisfy all sides.

But it also requires that all sides have some skin in the game or be willing to give something up to get to the optimal situation.

We just need to be open to thinking creatively about these scenarios.

Thank you for the comments.

John,

That is a great quote! I question whether that can always work, such as zero-sum game situations. What if they want what you also want - like your money?

Re: Where Do You Stand in The “Occupy” Movement?

John Clark — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:27:48 -0000

I have asked myself that question and the conclusion that I have come to is that Jesus would not be standing with the Occupy movement. You are right He did turn the table of the money changers over in the Temple, a place where commerce should not have been taking place. A sacred place. Wall St is certainly not a sacred place.

The fact that the majority of people are complaining about foreclosures and student loans, contracts that they willfully signed, the point is absurd.

Read the parable of the talents and you will find "What Jesus thought about commerce and PERSONAL responsibility.

Thank you for your comment.

Re: Where Do You Stand in The “Occupy” Movement?

Anon — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 21:04:09 -0000

You have to ask yourself "What would Jesus do?" He was the original activist. He took direct action and turned over the tables of the money changers. If he walk amongst today, he'd be at Occupy Wall Street, and he would probably have the same idea in mind!

Re: Are You Paying Attention to the Patterns in Your Life?

Lois Julan — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 00:18:44 -0000

John,

I absolutely agree. I think many have forgotten to be thankful
for the blessings they already have - especially in this economy -
where money is the primary focus. If we shift our focus to being
grateful for what we've already been given, maybe we'll realize
how truly blessed we are.

Re: What Values Do You LIve Your Life By?

Wishbomb — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 15:00:44 -0000

Thank you for the great post! We think it's very important to define your own values in life, however it's also good to have a support group around you, who possesses similar values and goals in their lives. This will help you reach what you wish to reach in life and at the same time, create a community around you to help you get there.

Values in conflict with each other are like hitting the gas and slamming on the brakes at the same time.

Re: DEMANDING Change, Is This a Philosophy That Has Ever Worked?

John Clark — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 17:01:14 -0000

Monica,

Thank you for your insightful comment.

When I make a post about things like this, I look at it from a "what values are the people doing the marching trying to advance" viewpoint.

And when it involves not living up to a decision that you made, such as taking student loans, or a mortgage for a home that you couldn't have afforded in the first place, I don't see where that is a good thing.

You commented, "For example, I'm certain that for most people, it's not that they don't want to pay back their student loans, they just want decent jobs that will allow them to do that and still live. Most people don't want handouts, they want to work and provide for themselves. It's how we're wired."

Decent jobs come by serving others. It shouldn't come from government regulation or by demand. It should come by applying skills that you have learned in order to serve others. And if there is no demand for the skills that a person has they should go back to school and learn another skill that is in demand.

This is not an easy thing, but it takes a mindset of personal responsibility. Not one of demand.

We see this happening in the Gay Rights movement. I personally do not agree with that life decision, but if someone decides that is the life they want to live, that is up to them, I will not try to jam my thoughts about it down their throats.

But I do not feel the opposite is true, meaning that it is constantly being jammed down the throats with all the parades and media coverage. Thankfully I have an on and off switch on my television.

I like that you quoted from Stephen Covey's 7 Habit's, I have found that book to be quite a blessing in my life.

And that book has to be viewed on the total as well, meaning that we have to exercise all of the habits.

And one of the best chapters is the one regarding the Circle of Concern and the Circle of Influence. And it is my opinion that we spend far to much time in the circle of concern and very little in the circle of influence.

And if we were a little more proactive and spent more time paying the price up front, these banks, companies and even our government wouldn't have any where near as much power as they have.

Thank you for your comments,

God Bless You,

Re: DEMANDING Change, Is This a Philosophy That Has Ever Worked?

Mmoody — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:25:07 -0000

John,

Sometimes it seems that demanding change is the only thing that does work. If it were not for a group of concerned citizens demanding change, where would we be in America, let alone the rest of the world? Slavery was abolished because people said "no more". Women received the right to vote because people said "no more". We gained our very independence as a nation because we demanded it.

Also, please don't be so quick to throw all of the people who are rising with the occupy protest in the same bucket. To broadly characterize them as being people who just want handouts is very dangerous and it does not advance us in anyway.

One of my guiding mantras is "Seek first to understand then to be understood" from Stephen Covery's 7 Habits. Before you dismiss the entire movement, consider dedicating time to really trying to understand why these people are showing up in mass.

They might not have all of the answers but so many are walking around feeling that there's just something not quite right about what's happening with our economy and our livelihood. For example, I'm certain that for most people, it's not that they don't want to pay back their student loans, they just want decent jobs that will allow them to do that and still live. Most people don't want handouts, they want to work and provide for themselves. It's how we're wired.

I could go on and on but I'll stop here. Again, I implore you. . . please dig deeper and try to understand.

I have no interest in engaging in an egoic battle, but if you would like to have some genuine heart based dialogue, I am open and available.

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts.

Monica

Dan,

I am always open for honest debate. But what I find from most people who make comments like yours, is that they believe in freedom of speech as long as you only say things that they agree with.

Exactly what do you take issue with?

Re: Are You Breaking the Rules?

Dan — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 10:11:52 -0000

I believe in freedom of speech. But in your case, it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

I enjoyed your thoughts and insight into the topic of worry. Well said. I believe worry is probably one of the most dehabilitating emotions that people deal with everyday.
