If I had a superpower and could grant you the lifestyle you wanted, what would that look like?
Now, let me ask you: Is that what you really want? I've noticed what people really want is modified by a few boundaries that are, for the most part, imaginary or imposed by others.
You must separate what you want from what you think you should want. Do I want this because my parents told me I should want it? Because society wants it? Because you think it will get you more favor with the opposite sex?
Many men secretly make decisions only after having conversations with replicas of their parents, friends and a "desirable female" template inside their minds.
You may have not noticed it yet, but if you pay attention to the conversation which goes on in your head before you make a decision you'll find yourself passing through a series of these templates you've constructed.
This is not bad if you realize it and take it for what it is - just a little more input for the decision. The mistake comes when you mistakenly think it is your desire or input.
"How would you have lived differently if you had never tried to please your father? If you never tried to show your father that you were worthy? If you never felt burdened by your father's critical eye?" (The Way of the Superior Man, by Deida p. 19)
Do it totally because you want to, because you've considered the options and still want it� (Be More Selfish)
Next, is it bounded by what you think is possible?
If you really want to build the coolest skyscrapers in Manhattan but are settling for building townhomes in Podunk, Arkansas because you feel like you can't measure up, then free yourself. You're compromising your own masculine power and everyone around you can feel it when they're in your presence.
"How do you propose to force your ideas on them?"
"I don't propose to force or be forced. Those who want me will come to me."
Then the Dean understood what had puzzled him in Roark's manner.
"You know," he said, "you would sound much more convincing if you spoke as if you cared whether I agreed with you or not."
"That's true," said Roark. "I don't care whether you agree with me or not." He said it so simply that it did not sound offensive, it sounded like the statement of a fact which he noticed, puzzled, for the first time.
"You don't care what others think - which might be understandable. But you don't care even to make them think as you do?"
"No."
"But that's, that's monstrous."
"Is it? Probably. I couldn't say."
(Excerpted from "The Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand, p.26)
You might fail. You might get to Manhattan to build the coolest skyscrapers ever seen and find yourself barely living in terms of income, but you'll be full of Life. This will attract others to you. Before you know it opportunity will find you. When this core of purpose and masculine power is focused others will "fall under the spell of your power."
Roark says, "I don't propose to force or be forced. Those who want me will come to me."
But, even worse than others sensing your lack of power, you'll feel it too, you'll know you're not living up to your fullest potential. You'll know you're not a Warrior and can therefore, never be a King. This will sap your energy. It will be difficult to attract and keep a woman. Business deals will fall through. Projects will not get started or will never be finished.
Your life will slip away one day at a time until you're on your death bed, full of regrets.
Decide now to accept nothing less than your fullest potential and go for your Ideal Lifestyle.
Here's my Ideal Lifestyle (in shortened, less specific form):
My time is my own. I don't have a set schedule. I can work from anywhere: this week it may be a nice cottage on the beach, next week a Hotel Suite overlooking Central Park. I have at least one beautiful woman in my life who thinks I'm the greatest Man to ever walk the earth. I earn the majority of my income through passive investments. The rest of my income comes from writing on subjects I care about.
The steps to designing your ideal lifestyle are:
1. Think about what you would do if anything were possible.
2. Distinguish what you want from the voices of influence so you get to your pure desire.
3. Make a list of things you do not want to deal with. (My list: set schedule, office, employees, etc.)
4. Create a picture of your Ideal Lifestyle.
5. Answer: How would I know if I�m there?
6. Create a list of �next steps.�
7. Work on the next step each day.
We'll cover more about lifestyle design in a future issue of The Warrior-King Society's newsletter.

Don’t Stifle Your Cash-Pulling Creativity
Don’t Stifle Your Cash-Pulling Creativity
Most marketers don’t realize that they’re selling themselves short when it comes to profitable idea generation. Most of us go by the rules – seeking out and the following a proven formula for success.
It’s easy because we read what someone else has said works, implement a cookie-cutter approach, and start to see some results. Even if they’re small results, we’re elated because at least it’s something.
Tiffany Dow teaches, in her new eBook Building an eBook Empire that you have to veer off the beaten path from time to time and give yourself the opportunity to shine in the spotlight. Unless you create a breakout product or develop an innovative idea, you’ll always be trailing the top money-producers on the ‘net.
If you really want to see the amount of money that you’re making explode, then you’re going to have to think outside the box. Only then will you be able to set yourself apart from your competition in the eyes of your target audience and position yourself as an authority figure in your niche.
You may be able to find that there’s a void that needs filling that your competitors haven’t yet discovered. Whatever it is that your customers are searching for, but are unable to find online, this is where you want to make gains off of the other guys’ shortcomings.
Not following the leader will help you advance in the money game. Be willing to be the first to do something, whether it’s a new traffic strategy you’re teaching, or new customer service technique, or a creative product idea that has everyone buzzing about it.
There are so many different ways to figure out what needs still aren’t being met. You can post a survey or questionnaire on your website asking people what they would like to see developed. You could also ask questions of people on forums or spend some time watching TV or looking through magazines to see what the average consumer is interested in.
Once you find your answer, you need to develop the product that will fill this need. You can even create your own niche for a product that already exists. For instance, people created clothes and display cases for Ty Beanie Babies and made a lot of money off of that.
You could even recreate an older product by looking at books that are now in public domain. These books could be spruced up for you to sell. Your other option is to improve upon an existing product that’s already successful. You would be fixing the weaknesses in a product by making yours, which is better than what already exists.
Be willing to eke out your own place as a leader in the marketplace, and don’t fall in line and conform with what’s considered the “norm.” Being different, in the case of online sales, can make you rich. Pick up a copy of Building an eBook Empire
Success and Peace be with you always

Just Recieved This Email From My Business Partner Gary Evans
Just Recieved This Email From My Business Partner Gary Evans
Hi Timothy,
When I first heard that in order to manifest your hearts desires
all you have to do is simply 'feel good' ...
I didn't believe it.
I thought that there had to be something more to it. I thought that
it was simply too easy to work. And after all, I'd felt good before
but never seen money come into my life, or my perfect relationship!
So I dismissed that idea pretty quickly.
It wasn't until I saw the same message keep cropping up over and
over again until I finally started to take notice.
Joe Vitale summed it up in just 2 lines in his book, The Attractor
Factor and said that if you can just feel good then everything
you've been wanting would begin pouring into your life.
'Feeling Good' is the core teaching of Esther and Jerry Hicks who
were the first ever to coin the phrase, The Law of Attraction.
That got me thinking....
Why do you think these people would make such a statement??
The truth is that 'feeling good' really is all you have to do. I
now understand this because I've practiced it.
You see... when you feel good for 10 minutes, but for 50 minutes you
feel negative. The dominant vibration that you send out is one of
negativity. This negative vibration that you emit goes out to the
universe more than a positive, fast vibration of feeling good.
Think of it like this .....
If you were to pour into a cup 3 table spoons of boiling hot water
but you also added 13 table spoons of cold water.
Would that cup contain hot or cold water?
Most likely it would be cold, going on luke-warm!
This is the same with your manifestations. They are most likely
sporadic in nature unless you can maintain those boiling hot table
spoons of water.
Eventually, if you keep adding hot table spoons of boiling water,
then the cup will overflow and dilute the cold water until you're
left with a cup of boiling hot 'feel good' water! :)
And that really is all there is to manifestation.
The more consistent you can be with 'feeling good' then the more
consistent your manifestations will be. Before long, you'll find
yourself thinking of something you want, then you won't give it
another thought and you'll see it manifest into your experience.
Why?
Because you'll be emitting high and fast vibrations of 'good' which
will continue to attract 'good' into your life effortlessly.
If you don't believe me - try it.
Test this stuff out, just like I did.
You'll be amazed at what you can experience.
PositivitySpace was put together to help people 'feel good' and get
into alignment with feeling good so that their manifestations occur
deliberately and effortlessly.
Feeling good the majority of the time and effortlessly thinking and
focusing about things you want and then SEEING those thoughts
materialize is an incredible experience.
In fact - it is the most enjoyable experience I've ever had and will
continue to have all of the time because I do not allow anything to
make me feel negative thoughts any more.
(Okay ... the odd 1 or 2 might still slip in there, but the
majority of the time I feel great!!)
What can you do, right now to feel good?
Don't think of things you can do tomorrow, or later on tonight.
What can you do, RIGHT NOW?
- Make a list of everything you like about your partner?
- Go for a walk in the woods?
- Tell your Mum or Dad that you love them?
- Meditate?
Whatever it is that can make you feel good is what you should be
doing all of the time. Forget about the stresses and strains of
life. That stuff is just called 'what is'.
Here's a nugget of reality for you....
If you continue to stress and worry about events in your life then
you are going to attract more of it - it's as simple as that!
If you can feel good, NOW, then you're energy will shift and you
will begin to attract more things you associate with being good.
I've been meaning to tell you something for a while now,
Timothy ...
Thank You!
Thank you for being a part of my joy. Thank you for reading this
email, Thank you for being you.

Top 10 Limiting Beliefs
Top 10 Limiting Beliefs
This is an excerpt from Clear Limiting Beliefs by Amanda Goldston a contributor to the universe and my favorite spot on the web PositivitySpace.com.
At PositivitySpace.com you will have access to Thousands of articles, E-books, and mp3's for $7. We think it is a great deal.
Top 10 limiting beliefs
1. Fear of our GREATNESS
For many people this is the biggest one, though often the least discussed. What if I was really GREAT at my own business? My job? As a spouse/partner? As a parent? As a public speaker? Etc.
What would other people say? What would my "friends" say if I suddenly outshone them or my income took off? I bought my dream home or my dream car etc?
For most people this is one of the most uncomfortable thoughts they can consider, and as a result holds more people back than almost anything.
As Marianne Williamson said in her book, a Return to Love (1992):
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."
And also:
"Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you"
and:
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others”
2. Fear of Not being (good) ENOUGH
If you have a dream or a desire to be, have or do something, then you already have everything you need within you to achieve that dream. You already have all the skills, talents and abilities that you need.
You cannot be given the dream and then not have the resources to achieve that dream.
So many people hold themselves back by feeling they need to read one more book, take one more course/seminar or do one more thing before they go for their dream.
3. Fear of NOT being LOVED
This is quite closely linked to the previous belief. Often people fear that if they are their true selves, people will not like and love them and they will lose their friends and end up alienated and alone.
Many people go through life trying to BE who they think other people- family, friends, employers, employees, partner etc- want them to be, in order to win love and acceptance from those people.
The most important person, however, is ourself. It is far more important to totally LOVE & ACCEPT ourselves exactly as we are. Once we can do that, we attract to us people who also love and accept themselves and they can then love and accept us exactly as we are.
Our Angels, Guides, The Universe and Our Creator love us exactly as we are. Children and animals do as well. We don't have to pretend to be something we are not to love ourselves and to be loved by others
4. Fear of Rejection
This comes in different forms, from not asking for the date with the person you really want to be with, to being afraid to make that all important call or being afraid to ask for the raise you deserve or not asking for the order, just in case the person says "NO".
Well, what if they do? What's the worst that could happen? Probably nothing much, yet they might say YES! In most cases, people are not rejecting you as a person; they are most likely simply not accepting what you are offering to them.
Success is a matter of ASKING, and keep ASKING until you find the right person who can help you achieve your dreams. If someone says NO to you, it's a signal to either change your strategy or ASK someone else.
Look at a child who wants an ice- cream in a shop. What do they do? First they ask Mum, then Dad, then Grandma or Granddad, and if that doesn't work
they change tactics. Do they eventually get their ice-cream? Frequently. And when they don't, they ask for sweets in the next shop or a cake in the next and a toy in the next- just for good measure!
One tip: ASK with the biggest SMILE you can and start nodding your head! It is amazing how often people will follow you and agree to your request.
5. Fear of FAILURE
What if I try this, and it doesn't work out? Failure is often considered to be something bad, to be avoided at all cost. However, it is the flip side of success, and in order to succeed you need to try different things- some will work out, others won't.
Most successful people don't use the word failure. In fact they consider it simply as a learning experience that showed them a way that didn't work, and try another approach, while still moving towards their dream.
You can decide how long you allow yourself to feel bad or you can move on and try the next thing.
OK, other people may laugh at you or talk about you for a short time. Most likely they are too busy with their own lives and problems to even notice you or anything that may have happened to you.
6. Fear of SUCCESS
This is closely linked to most of the above, especially number one.
People often fear the positive changes, maybe extra responsibility, that great wealth and success brings.
They get caught in all the old negative programming about rich people being mean, selfish, arrogant and not spiritual and that money can only be acquired by foul means, and decide that it is not for them.
They get caught in negative thoughts of people begging for money and others taking it away from them, or what if they make it and then lose it? How much of an idiot would they look then to their friends and family?
Yet, Success and Abundance is our birthright.
We were not meant to live in poverty or stress. Once we hook up to our source of Abundance, we know that money is like air- there is always more than enough for everyone, and it flows as freely as air.
The more Abundance you have, the more you can freely give to others and help them to improve their lives. Abundance is very spiritual. Money builds homes, schools, hospitals, and many other great things.
7. I don't DESERVE/ I am not WORTHY of SUCCESS
Who decides who is worthy/deserving of success or not?
It is not the Universe or our Creator because they want us to have all the abundance we can handle. Our natural state is joy and abundance.
What are the criteria for someone to be considered worthy/deserving of success? Is family background? education? age? sex? religion?
You can CHOOSE for yourself that you are worthy of success and abundance. Claim your birthright NOW!
8. Rich People are…
“all mean, selfish, arrogant, unspiritual crooks who have made their money by cheating others.”
If you hold these beliefs then it is likely to be very difficult for you to allow yourself to have great wealth. If that is how you see rich people, then it is unlikely you would really want to become one.
Today there are more and more "Enlightened Millionaires" (Robert Allen & Mark Victor Hansen- The One Minute Millionaire 2003) than ever before.
These people made their money by SERVING others and helping them grow in every sense of the word.
They know and understand that the more abundance they allow to flow to themselves, the more they can help others, and the quicker and easier poverty is eliminated.
9. I have layers of deep-rooted beliefs that hold me back
A belief is a thought and You can choose your thoughts. In any instant you can choose an empowering belief or a dis-empowering one. Why choose to hold onto old beliefs and keep bringing them back up. Let go of them.
10. I have to work long and hard for my money
Why? That is often a pattern that many of us saw from our parents.
Yet for many people, working longer and harder does not actually produce more money or a better quality of life. Most millionaires only work long hours if they choose to, and many of them do not work particularly "hard". Wealthy people create money through creative ideas.
If you follow your heart and your passions, money will follow and your means of earning money will seem like PLAY
11. You need money to be able to make money, and I don't have any!
Many great fortunes have been built from nothing, sometimes less than nothing. Creativity and ideas are the starting point of riches. There are plenty of people out there, who have more money than time, and who will back good ideas.
Money is an energy and creating money begins by creating wealth in your mind. By living and experiencing great wealth, and truly knowing and believing that it is on its way to you because you deserve it.
It begins by BEING wealthy and abundant in your mind, and making it so real that the physical then must catch up.
Some suggestions:-
Go shopping for a luxury car, your dream home, go and have a coffee or a drink in the cafe or bar where the millionaires meet or buy yourself a small item from the best store in town.
Mix with the people you aspire to be like. Many of them are very pleasant, very approachable people. You will soon become like them.
We also have some very powerful and effective relaxation CDs ( at http://www.getyourdreamlife.com/clearlimiting.htm ) for clearing limiting and unhelpful beliefs.
Many of the beliefs we hold about ourselves, our worthiness for success and great wealth come from our experiences as a child. Many of the attitudes we hold towards money and rich people are generational.

As Marianne Williamson said in her book, a Return to Love (1992):
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us."
And also:
"Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you"
and:
“As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others”
2. Fear of Not being (good) ENOUGH
If you have a dream or a desire to be, have or do something, then you already have everything you need within you to achieve that dream. You already have all the skills, talents and abilities that you need.
You cannot be given the dream and then not have the resources to achieve that dream.
So many people hold themselves back by feeling they need to read one more book, take one more course/seminar or do one more thing before they go for their dream.
3. Fear of NOT being LOVED
This is quite closely linked to the previous belief. Often people fear that if they are their true selves, people will not like and love them and they will lose their friends and end up alienated and alone.
Many people go through life trying to BE who they think other people- family, friends, employers, employees, partner etc- want them to be, in order to win love and acceptance from those people.
The most important person, however, is ourself. It is far more important to totally LOVE & ACCEPT ourselves exactly as we are. Once we can do that, we attract to us people who also love and accept themselves and they can then love and accept us exactly as we are.
Our Angels, Guides, The Universe and Our Creator love us exactly as we are. Children and animals do as well. We don't have to pretend to be something we are not to love ourselves and to be loved by others
4. Fear of Rejection
This comes in different forms, from not asking for the date with the person you really want to be with, to being afraid to make that all important call or being afraid to ask for the raise you deserve or not asking for the order, just in case the person says "NO".
Well, what if they do? What's the worst that could happen? Probably nothing much, yet they might say YES! In most cases, people are not rejecting you as a person; they are most likely simply not accepting what you are offering to them.
Success is a matter of ASKING, and keep ASKING until you find the right person who can help you achieve your dreams. If someone says NO to you, it's a signal to either change your strategy or ASK someone else.
Look at a child who wants an ice- cream in a shop. What do they do? First they ask Mum, then Dad, then Grandma or Granddad, and if that doesn't work
they change tactics. Do they eventually get their ice-cream? Frequently. And when they don't, they ask for sweets in the next shop or a cake in the next and a toy in the next- just for good measure!
One tip: ASK with the biggest SMILE you can and start nodding your head! It is amazing how often people will follow you and agree to your request.
5. Fear of FAILURE
What if I try this, and it doesn't work out? Failure is often considered to be something bad, to be avoided at all cost. However, it is the flip side of success, and in order to succeed you need to try different things- some will work out, others won't.
Most successful people don't use the word failure. In fact they consider it simply as a learning experience that showed them a way that didn't work, and try another approach, while still moving towards their dream.
You can decide how long you allow yourself to feel bad or you can move on and try the next thing.
OK, other people may laugh at you or talk about you for a short time. Most likely they are too busy with their own lives and problems to even notice you or anything that may have happened to you.
6. Fear of SUCCESS
This is closely linked to most of the above, especially number one.
People often fear the positive changes, maybe extra responsibility, that great wealth and success brings.
They get caught in all the old negative programming about rich people being mean, selfish, arrogant and not spiritual and that money can only be acquired by foul means, and decide that it is not for them.
They get caught in negative thoughts of people begging for money and others taking it away from them, or what if they make it and then lose it? How much of an idiot would they look then to their friends and family?
Yet, Success and Abundance is our birthright.
We were not meant to live in poverty or stress. Once we hook up to our source of Abundance, we know that money is like air- there is always more than enough for everyone, and it flows as freely as air.
The more Abundance you have, the more you can freely give to others and help them to improve their lives. Abundance is very spiritual. Money builds homes, schools, hospitals, and many other great things.
7. I don't DESERVE/ I am not WORTHY of SUCCESS
Who decides who is worthy/deserving of success or not?
It is not the Universe or our Creator because they want us to have all the abundance we can handle. Our natural state is joy and abundance.
What are the criteria for someone to be considered worthy/deserving of success? Is family background? education? age? sex? religion?
You can CHOOSE for yourself that you are worthy of success and abundance. Claim your birthright NOW!
8. Rich People are…
“all mean, selfish, arrogant, unspiritual crooks who have made their money by cheating others.”
If you hold these beliefs then it is likely to be very difficult for you to allow yourself to have great wealth. If that is how you see rich people, then it is unlikely you would really want to become one.
Today there are more and more "Enlightened Millionaires" (Robert Allen & Mark Victor Hansen- The One Minute Millionaire 2003) than ever before.
These people made their money by SERVING others and helping them grow in every sense of the word.
They know and understand that the more abundance they allow to flow to themselves, the more they can help others, and the quicker and easier poverty is eliminated.
9. I have layers of deep-rooted beliefs that hold me back
A belief is a thought and You can choose your thoughts. In any instant you can choose an empowering belief or a dis-empowering one. Why choose to hold onto old beliefs and keep bringing them back up. Let go of them.
10. I have to work long and hard for my money
Why? That is often a pattern that many of us saw from our parents.
Yet for many people, working longer and harder does not actually produce more money or a better quality of life. Most millionaires only work long hours if they choose to, and many of them do not work particularly "hard". Wealthy people create money through creative ideas.
If you follow your heart and your passions, money will follow and your means of earning money will seem like PLAY
11. You need money to be able to make money, and I don't have any!
Many great fortunes have been built from nothing, sometimes less than nothing. Creativity and ideas are the starting point of riches. There are plenty of people out there, who have more money than time, and who will back good ideas.
Money is an energy and creating money begins by creating wealth in your mind. By living and experiencing great wealth, and truly knowing and believing that it is on its way to you because you deserve it.
It begins by BEING wealthy and abundant in your mind, and making it so real that the physical then must catch up.
Some suggestions:-
Go shopping for a luxury car, your dream home, go and have a coffee or a drink in the cafe or bar where the millionaires meet or buy yourself a small item from the best store in town.
Mix with the people you aspire to be like. Many of them are very pleasant, very approachable people. You will soon become like them.
We also have some very powerful and effective relaxation CDs ( at http://www.getyourdreamlife.com/clearlimiting.htm ) for clearing limiting and unhelpful beliefs.
Many of the beliefs we hold about ourselves, our worthiness for success and great wealth come from our experiences as a child. Many of the attitudes we hold towards money and rich people are generational.
