New Years Resolutions Futile MKMMA Week 14-3

An Alternative To New Years Resolutions A new year is upon us. For those who take the Master Key Experience (MKE) seriously and have been faithful to the reading, exercises and special assignmnets, the idea that it’s time for New Years Resolutions is antiquated.

Unique Gifts You Own Are Valuable Only If Shared

Discover Your Unique Gifts It’s a fact. You are unique. Right down to the smallest detail of your physical, mental and spiritual makeup.

Selling Not Just About Dollars

“The better portion of all sales I have made were after people said ‘no’.” (Napoleon Hill). That’s probably true of all sales made by anyone regardless of age, gender or way of life. Have you considered the fact everyone is selling something to someone all the time? It’s true.

Who did you think of when you read that line? Like most people I thought of sales people; those who sell products or services for a living. I’m guessing you did too. But really the concept applies to anyone.

We are constantly in the business or at least the process, of selling something. It could be we want to sell the idea we must have that new car, or new appliance to our spouse. We may sell the idea it’s in our son’s or daughter’s very best interest that they get their homework done correctly and on time. How well we sell those ideas depends on how persuasive and convincing we are in describing the benefits of doing what we are trying to get them to accept.

Attitude Comes Through In Many Ways One of my favourite bloggers is Seth Godin. I just read his recent post about a sign on every entrance to La Guardia Airport in New York. The sign has much to say about the attitude of its creator, and perhaps about that of those who manage the airport […]

Meditation And Seeking The Silence

Meditation Helps Access The Universal Mind I form good habits and become their slaves. That’s a mantra I’ve adapted from Og Mandino’s classic little book The Greatest Salesman In The World. In a nutshell one of the habits I cultivate is spending at least 20 minutes every day in meditation. But it’s more than meditation; […]
