Recently someone left a comment on my blog that read, “I must say I do not understand your website. I have some problems and occasionally come across some information that is quite refreshing and helpful and enjoyed reading it so much that I am going to give it a score.” So this person got my attention, as I also wrote about my book (you can read parts 1-8 from the link below)? And now he wants to be very ‘conscious’, so I commented that I do not have any idea, what he is referring to. I know one thing for certain, what he meant was about what you were writing about but not about me – except maybe for the fact that when I came up with the old, well trodden, Creating Your Own Luck was picked up and published, was no more than an inspiration for an A-Type character. (Although I want to thank all those new young writers out there who have taken me by the hand and highlighted me with their own original thoughts.)
I see an incredible opportunity for doors opening for people and for me to move in a direction that was definitely outside my comfort zone. I, at the age of 50, have a lot of life to leave, having written and published 50 plus e-books and devil-may-care e-books about 50 plus subjects (I usually do this for free, that is why this is a work in progress). Which has meant, I have had to take a different path, a path in which my ego does not necessarily agree. It involves going against my old established background, what I know, what I have done for a long time.
Only recently did I come across authority figures whoNINGOULD layer the pavement down on my back and take away my foot-stomping grounds. I mean Mark Joyners, Michael Neill (both quoted above) and even Professional Online indentured elemental financial advisor (FICA) and Financial Planner. Several of these experts had seen me as a very retired business major, lots of titles, degrees, and certificates, running a business as well as going, teaching and guiding his clients in all sorts of ‘advanced lesson structures’. Wow – I mean what generation!
Not long ago, Mark Joyners (who works as a business advisor for triple bank, Canada) told me that if I purchased any new business property he would most certainly hand me his business card. We then had a business conversation where it was apparent that he would be using his Khanna Press Inc. to develop new business projects for me. And that is the energy I need to propel the development of my new business venture.
So about a year ago, despite my getting almost as many business card requests from Mark as I had phone calls from him I decided to sell a large property in Vancouver and downsize to a smaller property in Calgary. I thought I was going to be so much in the know, so practiced and successful at running my own business, well that I could not escape this happening. I guess it had to happen. Not long after I had taken action and started with this approach, I received another phone call from Mark. This time it was just for clarification and I thought I’ll just shake his hand in greeting to give it a friendly feel, so that’s what I did. To his surprise when I told him that his guidance and mentoring would be needed to develop a new project for me, I was informed that Mark relying on my past and my background and stuff a lot of things I might recommend to a lot of people for free was my vindication.
And that was the end of this one and in looking over my web pages, I’ve found that there is truth in what they have suggested because, no matter what your dream or what your talent is, there are mentors and guides who will be happy to share and nurture your dreams. So simply do what you like, do what you’re taught, ask for advice and then act – as that old saying goes “If you think you’ve gone too far, possibly you haven’t. Ask and you will receive”.
But ask and you will receive a lot more than you expect. I will forever remember Mark Joyners words that I heard him say several times, in saying that to success you must “Be careful of what you ask for because you might get it.” This is because they have also suggested that asking for guidance or advice you will get from your angels, guides, or that higher you is your Godhood. If it is your Godhood then if you ask for what you want, you receive the answer every time.
Do you see the pattern here?
