One of the definitions of philosophy in the dictionary is "the pursuit of wisdom". I once read in a fortune cookie that experience is a comb that nature gives to man when he is bald. I guess wisdom works the same way - most of us don't start to wise up until a lot of the fun is over. However I have been blessed, and although I am not a spring chicken, I have enough life in me to reap the benefits of some of the wisdom I have acquired up til now. The French talk about the stages in life and especially the third age ¨le troisieme age¨ and the wonderful thing about that is being able to benefit from all the learning and experience from the past and then use it rather than be filled with regret.

Everyone is talking about THE SECRET, which I love. I completely believe in the Law of Attraction, and especially in the Law of Reciprocity and the Law of Polarity. It is clear that the universe responds to what vibrations we put out there. However my personal philosophy is that if you just sit and wait for the universe to do its thing you might be disappointed. So if there was any one thing I would tell people it is be pro-active, get into action. If you have dreams start to believe in them. Build a vision board. You can download a vision board as a screen saver at my mentor John Assaraf´s web site www.johnassaraf.com. You can order John´s book from the link on the resource page on this site. If you want to learn more about the coaching progam at John´s company, One Coach go to www.onecoach.com or contact One Coach consultant, Andrew Barden at the One Coach office in San Diego and let him know that I recommended he take you through the proess that helps you decide if the Business Mastery program is a good fit for you. You will get much more than you could imagine from this program. You will learn to reprogram your thinking and how to take your business to the next level both financially and personally. This program will show you that you don´t know what you don´t know and then take you from where you are to where you want to be, enjoying each stop along the way.

Learn to meditate - Reprogram your mind - and if you want to know how to do that I can steer you in that direction with a resource of one of the best in the business who will teach you how to do that in incremental steps.

Most importantly have a philosophy of your own - embrace it - be comfortable in your own skin - risk more - fear less and you will be on your way.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."
