"How Your Environment Impacts Your Income"

I spent a couple of days earlier this month at a
Dan Kennedy Mega-Conference in Scottsdale.
For those who don't know him, Dan is one of the
top marketing and direct response experts in the
business. He teaches copywriting, positioning and
business strategies, and over the last 20 years has
created quite a bunch of millionaires. His newsletter
is one of my "must read" items each month.
There's nothing like spending 2 days with a couple
thousand millionaires and on-their-way-to millionaires.
It really improves your ability to envision larger sums
of money.
You see, most people can't set really big money goals
because they can't envision themselves with that much
money. We can only achieve what we can believe,
Napoleon Hill said. And we can't believe really big
numbers.
The winner for big vision at the conference was Mark
Victor Hanson, and I was privileged to spend some
time talking to him. He and Robert Allen have the
goal of making a million millionaires (that's one
trillion dollars) and raising so much money for
charity that they can save the planet.
When I realized that he could really SEE $1trillion,
it blew my mind! That's an economic statistic, not
an income! But then I realized why he could.
You see, it's the Law of Relativity. Things are only
big or small depending on what we compare them to.
Mark has sold over 100 million books, and seen income
well over $100 million bucks. A trillion's not that much
more to him.
Think for a minute. How would your consciousness
about money change if you were hanging around
with people like that? People who thought that $1million
was just a rounding error, because they made over
$100 million last year and only worked 3 weeks a
month to do it? (Like Mark)
I can now actually SEE my former yearly income as
my monthly income, because Mark made my goal
seem so small that it looks easy. Of course, being
surrounded by lots of other real millionaires helped, too.
There's a lesson in this, and it's really important.
It matters who you hang out with!
Randy Gage says that your income will always be the
average of your 5 closest friends. If you want more,
hang out with people who already have it. Begin to
think like they think.
Mark told this story on himself. He met Tony Robbins
and they were working an event. He said, "Tony, you
and I do the same thing, but you make $10M and I
make $1M. What's the secret?"
Tony said, "Who's in your mastermind group?" and
Mark said that they were all millionaires. Tony said,
"That's your problem. I have a couple billionaires in
mine."
Get the point in this - it's not what you do, it's the
energy, the consciousness, the beliefs around you.
To a billionaire, a million dollars may be just a
rounding error, but to someone making $50K, it
looks enormous. And it's the same amount!!!
Thnk about the people you hang out with; your
friends, your business associates, your networking groups. I bet that very few of them
have incomes substantially bigger than yours.
This does not make them wrong, or bad people.
It just means that there's no one there to really
lift your money consciousness.
Set yourself a goal to find out where the people
on the higher levels hang out, and spend some
time there. Add some people to your circle that
make 10X what you do.
Hang out with people who see your goals as easy,
and that's the way you'll see them, too.
And once that happens, you're unstoppable!!!

We only have a few copies of Bob Proctor's Winner's
Image program left. This program is CD audio
with VHS video, and deals with creating a new
and powerful self-image. Since your self-image
is the ultimate control of your life, you will want
to study this program!
The video, filmed at the
Toronto Science Center, uses terrific visual effects
to illustrate how the mind works. This material is
not in any of Bob's other programs!
Normal retail is $147, but you can have one for
only $97. Order at

Article #2 - Mind Matters
The self-image, Maxwell Maltz said, is like an autopilot
that keeps you on a preset course. Every time you get
off course, the self image brings you back.
We know that the self image is part of our subconscious
mind, the emotional mind that stores all our beliefs. We
can think of the self image as the sum total of all of
our experiences and all of our beliefs about ourself, no
matter how they were developed.
When we were children, our minds were not totally
developed and we accepted everything we heard about
ourselves, without judgement. We learned that we
were "bad", "stupid", "selfish", "good little girl" (when
we did what we were told), "no good at math", "a real
man" (when we didn't cry), and "didn't live up to our
potential".
We took the good and the bad that we were told and
applied them equally to ourselves, contradictions and
all! No wonder we're confused at times!
My friend Butch Hancock, the Austin singer-songwriter,
summed up these childhood memories and their
contradictions quite well when he joked, "I learned
two important things growing up in West Texas. First,
God loves me very much and I'm probably going to
burn in Hell. Second, sex is dirty, filthy and nasty, so
you should save it for someone you really love."
We laugh at the absurdity of it all, but our self image
is composed of these kinds of conflicting instructions
and can cause all sorts of difficulties for us. Mostly
what we remember, of course, are the limitations,
the things we can't do.
I've had people tell me, "I'm not a good speaker", I'm not
very smart", "I can't write", "I'm not good at meeting new
people". My response is usually, "Who told you that?"
Your assignment this month (should you choose to
accept it) is to keep a journal and write down every
single thing you tell yourself that you can't do or you're
not good at. Then ask yourself, "Who told me that?"
And then ask, "What could I do if that wasn't true?"
And get the Winners Image program.
