Debt Free…The New Status Symbol

Several people I coach are working business models that have more than a normal risk of not being successful. That is not typical of all the people I work with. My responsibility is to guide all on the successful performance of the business selected as measured by an increasing rate of revenue and profits. When I am skeptical, I advise people to have a back-up plan.

This week I was asked directly “Steve what do you do?” I described my core businesses with the main one being my business turnaround and real estate investment coaching business. I also discussed what I have gained from being part of the network marketing industry and especially the marketing and networking lessons I have learned.

There are many great people in the network marketing industry. One who particularly stands out is Eric Worre. He is always giving back with his persistent release of videos and more that teach people the principles of successful professional network marketing. It doesn’t matter if you have an interest in network marketing or not. You will be well served to register at Eric’s site Network Marketing Pro. Click Here after you watch these vidoes

“Debt Free – The New Status Symbol and Eric Worre’s Advice On How To Get There….Great Stuff!!

Eric’s primary business is Send Out Cards. The best way I know to help you see why this is a marvelous opportunity is to share the following”

Sending gratitude is one of the pillars of prosperity. The Law of Attraction teaches us what we send out we attract. What happens when I send gratitude is I fell really good. That feel good energy is going out to the Universe …yes to you too! I signed the commitment to the 30 Day Gratitude Challenge and I have already started…I recently read one person is on day 473. I know why.

Getting Unstuck

Getting Unstuck

I recently listened to a presentation where the speaker accurately listed four of the major reasons companies get stuck. They are:

Lack of Marketing

Lack of Talent

Lack of Systems

Lack of Capital

These are reasons for being stuck. They are not the why or the foundation of being stuck.

In my experience coaching hundreds of business owners and leaders, there is a main element at the core of a person or company that is the why. That core is….. FEAR.

“Success Is An Inside Job” which is why I spend about 20% of my coaching time advising business owners and leaders on how to strengthen their “Internal Guidance System”.

Once we address the core element of FEAR there are many additional steps to getting marketing, talent, systems and capital in alignment. I will address some of those in future articles and videos. As for FEAR and other negative emotions, I have been publishing articles for nearly four years to subscribers of my Manifest Mastermind program with most of the content being free. Members receive in-depth guidance. In fact I name these reports Guidance Processes. I am close to finishing a detailed Guidance Process to members on getting your internal guidance system unstuck. Non- members will get a lighter version on the Manifest Mastermind Blog.

Action Steps for Getting Your Internal Guidance System Unblocked or How To Remove Fear and Other Negative Emotions That Are Blocking Your Progress ( The biggest benefits to having a coach is guidance on action steps that make a huge difference and accountability for getting them done. I have 5 openings. If you are interested in more information email me or call me at 727-587-7871.)

1. Register for the Free Course at Manifest Mastermind and become a member if it is in your budget.

2. Buy a high quality journal that is leather bound and has high quality paper.

3. Buy the Daily Word and Science of Mind (Google them)

4. Buy the Yes Attitude by Jeffrey Gittomer (Amazon)

5. Have your own resources that will help you. The classic Think and Grow Rich is fantastic as well as all the books by Catherine Ponder, Jerry and Esther Hicks, Neil Donald Walsch, Wayne Dyer, Randy Gage and more like them.

6. Commit to a minimum of 15 minutes each day and ideally 30 -60 minutes reading the Daily Word, Science of Mind and Yes Attitude ( at some point you will finish the Yes Attitude and then replace it . Spend additional time with a book like Think and Grow Rich

7. Write in your journal the most compelling guidance from any of these resources that you want to focus on and have make a difference in your life. Now you can see why I advise invest in a journal. This is where very valuable thoughts and ideas go. There are many ways you can use a journal. At a minimum do what I am suggesting.

8. Carry the journal with you when possible or note cards from your journal and then when you catch yourself doing or saying something that represents a behavior you are intending to change refer to your journal for guidance. If you are journaling that you are going to take some forward moving action steps each day, write it visualize it as done and take action.

9. This all takes a commitment, persistence and practice. However you do want to become unstuck don’t you?

10. Register for my lists. You will be amazed at how great the information is that I send out free of charge. Join this list http://stevepohlit.com Also http://confidencesuccessblueprint.com

Goals Vision Ideas Action..How To Select A Business Opportunity

“Nothing ever happens until a customer says I’ll take it” I will never forget the shareholders meeting at The Limited when I heard Les Wexner make that statement. I was a senior member of the team providing audit, tax and consulting services to The Limited. I will be forever grateful for the lessons I leaned from working with Les and his team.

Les started with one store in Columbus, Ohio. He has always in my experience had a vision of where he was going. He took his vision and was inspired to ideas. Many of those ideas were implemented after many others were tested and failed the test. Les and his company took action on ideas.

Do You Want More Money For You and Your Family?

The principle of taking action on ideas linked to your vision of achieving goals is timeless. Neale Donald Walsh has written “pay attention to the messages you are intended to receive” This is about the messages I received and took action on and why. For clarity I am not writing my history of how I got to this point. There is alot of history. The point is I got this message on the topic of multiple streams of income and residual income. That message is to be excited about what you are presenting and talking to people about and especially focused on what conversations they are already having in their head.

I have two primary businesses where I focus most of my time. Those businesses started and grow by continually defining my goals, visualizing how they develop, getting ideas on growth and expansion and taking action. This article is about using the same process in connection with my interest in selecting other business opportunities supporting my goal and vision of a vibrant residual income flow. I am sharing this with you as it may save you a bunch of time, money and trouble. It took me quite some time to appreciate what I am going to share with you.

Steve’s Business Opportunity Selection Criteria

1. Capitalize on products that people are already using in mass quantities with an alternative offering a unique selling proposition. So when I discovered two companies whose products I was already using I was immediately drawn to those opportunities. They are easy for me to talk about as I am excited to personally use the products of those companies….love em.

2. Re-read Number 1

The Exception …Or Is It?

A very brief post on Facebook by a FB friend something along the lines of retire in 24 months along with a comment by a lady who said she read it and already “was in” caught my attention not because of the product but because of the marketing. Then I watched a couple of brief videos and felt the company One24 had gotten it right…kinda like Apple getting it right with the iPhone then the iPad. One24 is simple, it has an amazing “hook” which is “Check Out My Website and If You Like It, I Will Add You To My Waiting List” …that is their 30 second training and it works.

The following is about the entire email I sent out to a list and to several of my groups on Facebook….Check Out My New Website and If You Like It I Will Add You To My Waiting List. I sent that out on a Sunday morning (very low traffic time) and within 24 hours I had 20 people on my waiting list and in the next 24 hours maxed out the number of people I could add at that time to the business.

Now your turn…Check Out The Video At My New Website and If You Like It I Will Add You To My Waiting List..Plus There Is Very Nice Sweepstakes The Company Is Running For Those On The Waiting List. Click Here Now!!

Brain Surgery Time Management

Time Management for Optimum Results

There is a complete time management and efficiency system I have been developing from the experiences I have working with George Ross (Celebrity Apprentice), Wayne Allyn Root and from my own business experience. I have used several

labels for this system in coaching clients including the 80:20 Time Management System. This is an idea that developed from working with George who is a major advocate and teacher of the 80:20 rule for achieving extraordinary results.

Why Brain Surgery Time Management

On a call recently I asked the question “do you think brain surgeons leverage their time?” The discussion included the response that since brain surgery is so specialized there is no leverage. I explained that brain surgery may be the best example of optimal leverage. Nearly everything in advance of, during and following brain surgery is done by others. The brain surgeon evaluates the patient and concludes on the procedure only after a huge number of preliminary steps are taken. Then the actual procedure takes place when all the facilities, equipment and support staff are ready. When ready the surgeon uses his or her specialized skill and then turns most of the rest of the process over to support.

Critical Path

What makes the most difference? All the support before, during and after brain surgery is irrelevant without the surgeon using her or his skills and successfully operating. The surgeon is trained to work with all the support for a successful procedure. In business many people do all the steps themselves. This is why I am completely focused on identifying with clients the actions that make the most difference in achieving their business performance goals.

George Ross reminds us that 20% of what we do result in 80% of the income we earn. Wayne Allyn Root advises on a system of positive addictions with focus on actions that are directly related to goal achievement.

The scope of this topic including how to implement Brain Surgery Time Management is much bigger than what can be covered in an article. However, this presents the key foundation points and if you need help then….

Mr. George Ross is Donald Trump’s attorney, he is the celebrity of The Original Apprentice, he is a very successful businessman. Each month I host a call for a private group of subscribers who connect with George and JT Foxx. I have been working with JT since early 2009 and have seen his business grow dramatically during one of the worst periods in US history.

With this experience I asked George who is one of JT’s coaches this question: “We teach branding and the support of brand development as part of the coaching program…what is JT’s brand because knowing him and his business I am not able to define it.”

George Ross’s Answer To The Question What Is The Brand of JT Foxx….Absolutely Brilliant!!

Knowledge ….that is his brand. JT brings the knowledge people need to succeed in their business.

United Air Reports Successful Transition To Continental Air Systems ..or How Not To Do It

Business Building Principle 101: Take Very Good Care of the Customers You Have While Marketing For New Ones

I am a frequent traveler and have earned status with United Air. I also have a significant number of points with Continental Air. I have been looking forward to combining all of that into one account. Beyond that I simply want the continual ease of booking reservations and online check in. I particularly enjoy having my boarding pass available on my iPhone when it is not convenient for me to print one out.

Overall United treats me well and they take the opportunity to let passengers know on each flight their advancements and plans for new equipment and technology. With all that marketing promotion I am surprised at how poorly the systems conversion this past weekend was handled. Specifically,

There was not advance communication of this conversion along with contingency plans in the event of any snags.

There is no information that I have found on the combining of frequent flyer accounts.

Saturday when I was trying to simply confirm my Sunday morning flight and retrieve my boarding pass I could not. I read a message to get to the gate early which is not very comforting. I also noticed a number to call for help. I did call and it took 40 minutes for the call to be answered. While on hold I heard more than 20 times a prerecorded message that United was investing 500 million in new equipment. I wanted to scream ..invest a few bucks in people staffing the phones so customers can be helped. Once connected it took another 10 minutes for the issue to be resolved…which thankfully it was. Normally it takes me about 2-5 minutes to log in, check in and confirm my boarding pass so 50 minutes was not fun.

Now that I am able to see my account under the new system I noticed today the payment information and some of my profile information is gone. I have to re-enter it. I noticed there is no evidence of my frequent flyer accounts being merged. There is not communication on these items. In fact there was nothing more than a press release this morning saying this merger was largely successful.

United Airlines Should Fire The Executive Responsible For Customer Relations!

Other business owners use this example of what not to do and more specifically when you have major changes planned over communicate with your customers and set up contingency systems should things not go according to plan. This is fundamental…United Airlines did not ask me in advance. I am telling you now!!

When There Is No Way, We Make One – Chrysler 2012 Superbowl Commercial

Does This Capture The Spirit of America?

The message is inspirational. Inspirational material can be very powerful. Each person I coach, uses the accelerated accountability worksheet I have developed for planning weekly optimal performance. This plan is linked to a longer term financial goal that we reverse engineer to what is required today in order to meet and possibly exceed the goal. The first line of the accelerated accountability worksheet is “self development..mindset”. I started with that line for everyone based on my own experience observing my own life when I did this work first and when I didn’t. huge difference.

This video is a call to action and a reminder of being focused. Each of us has different interpretations of what the second half means and what we need to do to win the second half. The teams come out with a plan and adjust the plan based on a continual evaluation of new information. Each one of us can view videos like this one and other resource material and do one of two things:

1. smile and say “that’s nice”
2. develop an action plan on how we can become better in the second half then implement that plan.

I have already picked #2…. and you?

Wayne Allyn Root Complements Mit Romney on His 15% Tax Rate and Is An Advocate of A Zero Capital Gains Tax Rate

Wayne Allyn Root is one of the most dynamic, charismatic, colorful, passionate, fiery, and outspoken Libertarian-conservative political personalities in America today. He is a best-selling author of 7 books, a FOX News Channel regular guest, and a national media star.

I met Wayne in 2010 and now connect with him at least monthly for an in-depth discussion on restoring the vibrancy of the US, business success and his positive addictions that are the core of his vitality and success.

Wayne’s most recent editorial published in Forbes online (Click Here) is a clearly factual representation on two very important points:

1. The capital gains rate of 15% paid by Mitt Romney is available to everyone

2. The lower the capital gains rate, the greater the incentive to invest.

3. The greater the investment in companies and innovation, the higher the rate of growth in jobs.

In very recent discussions with business owners and entrepreneurs, it has become very clear to me that most do not really understand the fundamentals of capitalism…not communism, not socialism, but capitalism. Join me in help America stand up for capitalism..the right of all to create value through innovation, creativity and hard but fun work. The right to follow the entrepreneurial dream without a huge tax and regulation penalty imposed by a socialistic mission by the government.

Relationship Capital and Leverage

Relationship Capital

The value of the relationships you have and are developing is relationship capital. This is the single biggest reason for my career moving forward again in 2009 after being stalled for a number of years. It was late summer 2009 and I had successfully launched an on line membership site using social media marketing. However, financial prosperity was not developing as I preferred. I reflected on my situation at that point in comparison to those periods in my career when I was “on my game” and doing very well financially. I identified personal contact with highly successful people as being the difference. In 2009 I was connected with a large group of people online. However, my personal connections were largely dormant. I made a commitment to reestablish a vibrant network with successful people….I visualized that already being in place. Several weeks later, I received a phone call from a person I didn’t know. However, I spent time with him and that one call led to an acceleration of my business and real estate coaching career. Most importantly, it led to a rapid acceleration of my network with successful people.

The door was opened and I worked it very hard and still do today. The relationship capital continues to get stronger because I focus on bringing as much or more value to the relationship as I gain from it. In the Universe it is called the Law of Reciprocity. You may be familiar with “what goes around, comes around” or what you send out comes back to you. Personally adding value to another is my greatest reward. Just yesterday I received an email thanking me for the work we did in 2011. The person said he would have most likely lost his business had it not been for our relationship and our coaching.

This is so important I am modifying one of the chapters in The Book on Business Profits which is in development. In this message I will share with you several key steps you can take to build your relationship capital in a major way even if you are in a situation with very limited financial resources. Relationship capital extends to our personal lives as well and that is a subset for a future article.

Leverage

Leverage is a term that is not well understood in the business sense. I summary, leverage is where you focus on where your talents are best used and work with others who have complementary skills for work that is needed in your business. For example, in the real estate investment business there are just several key categories of activity including: finding the deals, renovating the properties and sourcing the funding. Some people are very skilled with building and repairing. I can assure you I am not one of those people so I find those with that skill set. One important point if you are responsible for your business…you cannot leverage the responsibility for being the leader. If you don’t want to be a leader then you probably are best served working on someone else’s team or for a company. There is nothing wrong with being a team member or working for a company. I held a number of those positions and those experiences contributed to my growth and development.

Five Steps To Developing Relationship Capital Right Now Even If You Are Not Connected With Anyone Successful and Have Very Limited Financial Resources

1. Network Marketing or MLM – I am a major advocate of quality companies in this industry because of the network you can build and the training you will receive for very little money. The one principle that took me many years to learn was to market those products that many people are already buying and using. With that criteria in mind there are primarily two businesses I suggest everyone take a close look at because you will benefit greatly from using the products and they are easy to suggest to others. Both of these businesses have greatly enhanced the incentives to getting started right now. They are:

a. Send Out Cards – I love this as I can send cards more economically sitting in front of my computer than I can going to the store, picking out a card, writing a note, addressing it and mailing it. You can get started in this business as a business owner for about $300. Imagine that for $300 you can be in business and if you don’t want to be in that business, people will love getting cards from you. Sending cards is the number one tool in my view for building relationship capital following a personal meeting. Click Here Now for More Information

b. Organo Gold – Amazing health benefits just by drinking what most people are already drinking…coffee , tea, hot chocolate. This article will be on line for a long time. Right now and for the next 60 days I know you can join this business by acquiring a special gold pak for $500. That is how I joined the company nearly a year ago. Gold members are positioned for maximum compensation. Normally a gold pak is about $1,200 which is still a deal but $500 is better. Click Here For More Information

c. Coaching – joining a coaching program is much more than having an expert help you. The right coach will help you build relationship capital. You will be hiring an expert which takes funds. Personally I have my next level of coaching expertise identified and will hire that person as soon as possible.

d. Leverage your time and skills with people who have funds to put to work. For example I would love an energetic person to introduce Organo Gold to every independent coffee shop in my market and help charitable organizations understand how this product line can help them raise sizable funds. I am prepared to sponsor them, and help them with some expenses like the cost of samples and gas for their car. In the real estate business, we are always looking for people who want to learn real estate investing and want to become an apprentice with us. They need to be able to fund their personal expenses for 4-6 months. There are other ways to leverage once you start thinking in terms of what you can bring to the table in terms of time and skills and combine that with a deal partner interested in putting their money to work. Note if you are in the situation of limited funding it will require alot of work to find a person who will work with you and support your plan.

e. Network business events, training events, charitable events, political fund raisers, social events and more.

Summary – Relationship Capital is key to your success, Leverage is key to you optimizing productivity and performance.

One Dollar’s Worth

One Dollar’s Worth
===================

The United States One Dollar Bill.
Take out a one dollar bill, and look at it.

The one dollar bill you’re looking at first came off the presses
in 1957 in its present design.

This so-called paper money is in fact a cotton and linen blend
with red and blue minute silk fibers running through it.

It is actually material.

We’ve all washed it without it falling apart. A special blend
of ink is used, the contents we will never know.
It is overprinted with symbols and then it is starched to make
it water resistant and pressed to give it that nice crisp look.

If you look on the front of the bill, you will see the United
States Treasury Seal.

On the top, you will see the scales for a balanced budget.
In the center you have a carpenter’s square, a tool used for an
even cut. Underneath is the Key to the United States Treasury.
That’s all pretty easy to figure out, but what is on the back of
that dollar bill is something we should all know.
If you turn the bill over, you will see two circles.

Both circles, together, comprise the Great Seal of the United
States. The First Continental Congress requested that Benjamin
Franklin and a group of men come up with a Seal. It took them
four years to accomplish this task and another two years to get
it approved.

If you look at the left-hand circle, you will see a Pyramid.
Notice the face is lighted and the western side is dark.
This country was just beginning. We had not begun to explore
the West or decided what we could do for Western Civilization.

The Pyramid is un-capped, again signifying that we were not even
close to being finished. Inside the capstone, you have the all-
seeing eye, an ancient symbol for divinity. It was Franklin’s
belief that one man couldn’t do it alone, but a group of men,
with the help of God, could do anything. “In God We Trust” is on
this currency, but that phrase was added in the 1950s during the
Red Scare.

Prior to that, none of our paper currency had that phrase.

The Latin above the pyramid, Annuit Coeptis, means, “God has
favored our undertaking.”

The Latin below the pyramid, Novus Ordo Seclorum, means, “a new
order has begun.”

At the base of the pyramid is the Roman Numeral for 1776.

If you look at the right-hand circle, and check it carefully,
you will learn that it is on every National Cemetery in the
United States.

It is also on the Parade of Flags Walkway at the Bushnell,
Florida National Cemetery and is the centerpiece of most heroes’
monuments. Slightly modified, it is the seal of the President
of the United States, and it is always visible whenever he
speaks, yet very few people know what the symbols mean.

The Bald Eagle was selected as a symbol for victory for two
reasons:

First, he is not afraid of a storm; he is strong, and he is
smart enough to soar above it.

Second, he wears no material crown. We had just broken from the
King of England.

Also, notice the shield is unsupported. This country can now
stand on its own.

At the top of that shield you have a white bar signifying
congress, a unifying factor. We were coming together as one
nation.

In the Eagle’s beak you will read, “E Pluribus Unum”, meaning,
“one nation from many people.”

Above the Eagle, you have thirteen stars, representing the
thirteen original colonies and any clouds of misunderstanding
rolling away. Again, we were coming together as one.

Notice what the Eagle holds in his talons. He holds an olive
branch and arrows. This country wants peace, but we will never
be afraid to fight to preserve peace. The Eagle always wants to
face the olive branch, but in time of war, his gaze turns toward
the arrows.

They say that the number 13 is an unlucky number. This is
almost a worldwide belief. You will usually never see a room
numbered 13, or any hotels or motels with a 13th floor.
But think about this:

13 original colonies,
13 signers of the Declaration of Independence,
13 stripes on our flag,
13 steps on the Pyramid,
13 letters in the Latin above,
13 letters in “E Pluribus Unum”,
13 stars above the Eagle,
13 bars on that shield,
13 leaves on the olive branch,
13 fruits,
and if you look closely, 13 arrows.
And, for minorities: the 13th Amendment.

I always ask people, “Why don’t you know this?”
Your children don’t know this, and their history teachers don’t
know this.

Too many veterans have given up too much to ever let the meaning
fade. Many veterans remember coming home to an America that
didn’t care. Too many veterans never came home at all.

Share this page with everyone, so they can learn what is on the
back of the UNITED STATES ONE DOLLAR BILL and what it stands
for. Otherwise, they will probably never know…

The Ant and The Grasshopper..Modern Lesson

THE NEW ANT and the Grasshopper, Two Versions:

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:

You Are Responsible For Yourself!

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving..

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant
in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not EasyBeing Green…’

Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, We shall overcome.

Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper’s sake, while he damns the ants.

President Obama condems the ant and blames President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper’s plight..

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2012.

I’ve sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant not a grasshopper!

Make sure that you pass this on to other ants.

Don’t bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn’t understand it, anyway
