Subject: Insights on Fear
Date:   March 23, 2008

Alan gave one of his best ever lectures yesterday on The Zones of Knowledgism and how they relate to learning, selling, the 5 pillars, objections, other best selling ideas--law of attraction, be here now and how to introduce it to others--
The zones direct a person's attention and are the pathway to increasing and becoming more whole and having everything you want to have or manifest. This is a must see lecture--see it on youtube soon--

He also briefly introduced and shared some very important new data on fear.

Fear goes toward whatever your target is or where you attention is, if you want to be successful, it'll go to that.
The dot of fear goes onto your target, so if you have no goals, you'll have no fear, but when you target something, the fear will stick to it and start to appear and grow.

Fear has always been thought to be part of something else by many people, but actually it floats free because when you've got fear its always connected to a conflicted thought, --if I invest, I could lose my money--and it locks itself to it and up.
The key thought is the major purpose in the fear that is attracting other similar thoughts.
But the moment you isolate it, it can disappear.

I have often wondered why I don't seem to have alot of fear in areas where I don't have the results I want. Now I can see another viewpoint on this, that maybe in reality, by keeping my attention OFF what I want or on bigger dreams and goals, I don't have to experience the fear, but also I have created the reality of not manifesting alot of what I really want.
A funny red zone game to play...

Subject: The Haka
Date:   March 23, 2008

While lecturing today Alan spoke of how you can see and experience 'definite of purpose' while watching the New Zealand All Blacks perform the Haka.
Not many people realise it, but in 2005 they 'released' a new version called Kapa o Pango which is used on special occasions in addition to the original Haka.
The NZ All Blacks have won 318 of the 429 matches played since 1884, a win percentage of 74.13% and are one of the all time winning teams spanning over 100 years or more in any sport--(except world cups!)
They seem to have a huge fear of success as they often snatch failure from the jaws of victory and it is the anguish of many New Zealanders who watch them 'freeze' on big occasions.
I think they could definitely use some of Knowledgism's technology to handle those big game fears!

Subject: How I Can Be Aligned With Everyone
Date:   March 23, 2008

Running the first process indicated to me how asking questions to find others wants can greatly expand connecting to others. Rather than tell, tell, tell others about what I have to offer, I can ask them a few questions that will indicate what they want, then assess whether or not I can help them, then do it.

I also realize how I can be aligned with everyone around me by sharing the zones with them. What a fantastic way to coach all my teammates, have all of us reaching upwards together, and be empowered to help others in meaningful ways.

I have much more clarity on how fear causes restraining, which leads to reluctance and limits utilization of power. I am much
more capable of failing my way to success and am more willing to take on larger, more worthwhile games.

Thanks Alan and classmates for a great 'first day'!

Subject: The Gift of Getting Here and Studying
Date:   March 23, 2008


This morning did presence as a group and I was pared off with my father, Rick. We did a 10 minute stint, which at the end just didn't feel like enough so we did another 20 minutes. Something happened for me during the 20 minutes. At one point I felt the whole room fill up with love and I felt the spiritual team mates, everyone's team mates get really present and emanate love. It was a brilliant moment, especially since I've been disconnected from my team mates for a long time. This trip to the ranch has been a real win on reconnecting and communicating with them and running upgraded processes on them and them me.

Another win I want to share is also connect to doing presence with my father. Doing presence with a family member is quite interesting. There can be alot of game and "stuff" between family. I've worked with my father, Rick, enough to have clear much of the big bad degraded games, but doing this presence time I could actually see the games as I look at him. They were like little particles flying around, old ones and new ones. And something that Alan had said in the lecture yesterday, I believe was about fear. Love your fear. So I decided to love the games that my father and I were playing and suddenly I got more and more present and I could perceive each game and duplicate them. I only got to a few before I got distracted. But it was an amazing feeling to have cause over these games I had felt at effect of before. It also created a bigger timeline for me, I started to perceive other games we'd played in past lifetimes. It was a tiny glimpse and it filled me with excitement.

There is much more, but I'm still writing those in my head.

I hope you are all well and can give yourself the gift of getting here and studying. Thank you Alan and the wonderful staff at he ranch for continuing to put this safe place here.

Best,

Raphael

Subject: The Danger In Opposition
Date:   March 14, 2008


Hello!

I've now been here at the Ranch for 5 days on my 30 days stretch. I'm having a great time here and am already feeling like the time is moving too fast. The Team here is awesome and well experienced and I'm trying to soak up as much as I can from them. I sometimes feel a little guilt on getting so much focused attention and nuggets of knowledge and tricks of the trade, but it passes and I just try to be present and continue my training. I'm worth this knowledge I'm getting here and pursuing this knowledge is the most worthy activity I've done so far in my life.

Having said that, It clarifies a few things for me and a few things have come to view.
I've come to understand more and more the importance of being present and how this relates to my goals and dreams. Being present is the basis of one's future. We create our future every moment of every day and it extends from our ability to be in the here and the now. It extends from our ability to be present with our goals and dreams. This may be a simplistic way to say "How well can you have your dreams?" or "Vision is the software for the mind." But It is the piece about being present that is the beginning, it is the building block for the way forward and the way upward and the attainment of a goal.
On any of the charts and graphs that Alan has created, it starts with Absence and along side it is Presence. I've looked at the Zone Charts with a lot of precepts in the past and those precepts have kept me from understanding which way was up, even with the chart staring me in the face.

See, to be present you must arrive. This is well covered in VF2 as it covers a good amount of coaching materials. To arrive, you are first absent. Being absent is basically "not being here or there." If the baseball player isn't on the field he can't be there to catch the ball. If Tiger Woods isn't on the golf course, well he isn't there winning the tournament. To play you must arrive.

If you can't arrive, then you can't play the game. It seems so simple, but some interesting things happen sometimes when I try to arrive, to be present, to play the game of achieving a goal. Sometimes I get opposition. "My car broke down", "there was traffic", "its too far away" and the list goes on. My favorite is getting in an argument with girlfriend and ultimately being too drained or in such a low mood level that I just don't do what I had set out to do.

In VF 2, Alan covers physical manifestations and determinism. Both are used in coaching and processing and in the VF course they are broken down and explained so that one can attain some fundamental understanding in the area. As a coach and a processor one needs to be aware physical manifestations of the client so they indicate and get them more present or help handle whatever is keeping the client less present.

My point is: physical manifestations are the indicator to opposition to being present. The best way I've found to not be present is to not arrive. Not arriving is the easiest physical manifestation to spot. If one's dream is to be an Ice Skater, but can make it to the rink because it is 25 miles away and one doesn't have a car, then distance was just to great an opposition versus their determinism. If that same person decides that distance isn't an issue, gets a drivers license and a car or ropes a team player/firend to help them get to the rink, then that person's determinism was greater than the opposition of distance.
Ultimately we create or un-create our opposition. The danger is agreeing with opposition, especially when it relates to our dreams. Itmeans we are then opposing our own dreams, which means we are opposing our own power, which means we are choosing continue to stay in our box and not grow and not reach and not get better. The ultimate sabotage is to not arrive, to not be present and not be ready to start. It is a self sabotage.

Just before coming to the ranch on this trip alone I ran into a serious illness, money issues and relationship issues. In one way it was really tough to deal with, but I started to see the pattern, I started to see the opposition to this big move forward and the pressure of all the agreements I had with opposing my own dreams. I'm glad I pushed on through and made this trip happen and have arrived here at ACLC (the Ranch) and am training and learning what I need to make my next step.
If you feel the opposition building about getting here, that is ok, note it or handle it and move forward and get here. When it comes to opposition "don't believe the hype." If the opposition seems too much, call Ceil, Brian, David or Lola and get some support, or book a phone session and get the help from the excellent team here. This is the best processing team I've seen so far at the Ranch, so get it while it's hot!

One last thing, The VFs are not just about Processing, but also about Coaching. And though they both require much of the same skills and training they have different purposes. When I'm not certain I want to pursuit the professional processing as a career then I look at the coaching side of it as a way to be a better partner, parent, business owner, friend, friend to yourself... and the list keeps going. Being a good coach means I'm able to help move others up the zones towards mastery. Something that will help me in whatever I endeavour in the future.

But first I had to arrive. What a positive process arriving is to ones dreams!

I look forward to seeing you here.


Raphael

Subject: The Perfect Game
Date:   March 6, 2008

Hi,

This post is in response to Alan's recent post on THE PERFECT GAME.
Thanks for re-establishing that concept Alan! Just creating an
agreement that a "Perfect Game" can be played on planet earth brings
about cause indicators :-) There is perfection, integrity, fun
and more in playing a spiritually sourced and spiritually rewarding
game. I'm sure each one of us has experienced that to some degree. If
we process life from the top down, the mental and physical become part
of the spiritual gold or green zone game. As Alan outlined in his post,
the perfect game is all inclusive, that is, if you define what you
really really love to do, and then align your life to that, you are on
your way to creating the Perfect Game for yourself and your team. It
includes all one's spiritual dreams and demands all of one's skills to
make it viable.
Sounds so easy!!

I'd like to share what I've done recently to forward the Green Zone. I
attend a weekly Law of Attraction meeting (which basically is the
public trying to get their vital fundamentals in). On Tuesday night, a
Reiki Master was leading the group discussion. The premise of most of
the lectures or discussions is attracting what you want into your life.
The Reiki Master was explaining her method of clearing the body of
negative energy . Someone asked a question about how to get rid of
negative mental energy, or thoughts. The Reiki Master said it was
something she was still attempting to find the answer to but offered
some suggestions. She said she was trying to overcome the stuck thought
she's had of " being rich hurts". This is where I took over.

I described "thoughts are things". It was surprising that so few people
understood that concept, even though some had read Wattles, Hill and
other sources of that concept.
The group was thoroughly engaged in the holographic description I
created of a thought having mass. With the precept that we now had
floating in the room and triggering similars, I gave the group a few
questions to ask that would start dissipating the thought. It was
basically a short version of mass handling - they were blown away. It's
just incredible to see what huge changes can occur on the front lines
with the very basic of basics. The group really moved into the zone.
They had notebooks out and were totally fascinated.

One of the guys asked if I would do a demonstration of a "session" so
they could learn "how to". My immediate thought was "no" because it's
"not how you do a session - it's one-on-one!" (lol). But a moment later
I thought, why not. Break out of the box. Reach out more. I asked the
Reiki Master if she wanted to try this right here in the room and she
immediately went into session. I asked her to pull her chairs into the
center of the room, as i did and away we went. I ran a full mass
handling on her, running out the precept about being rich. It was
actually quite a heavy dark mass she was sitting with and had we been
in a one-on-one session there were several more things that would have
been addressed. But to K.I.S.S. I simply ran the mass and unlocked a
huge amount of stuck life force. There was such a shift in energy
everyone in the room could feel it. I ended the "session" with having
her put her attention on the positive and the whole room filled with
warmth, lightness and high moods.

The group was so turned on by this they all wanted to find out more. It
was fun and easy and completely spontaneous. Just being in the right
place at the right time! Doing a demonstration of how the tech works
has got to be one of the fastest and easiest ways to explain processing
to people. I've already received emails from people who weren't even
there but heard about it wondering what this fantastic process is.

It seems that if we each defined what at Perfect Game is for ourselves
and our families and friends we'd find we're all on the same page. Who
wouldn't want to be happy, prosperous, extraordinary and creating a
Perfect Life?? I want it!



With love,
Maureen

Subject:  New Agreements, New Realities
Date:   March 5, 2008

I've experienced a substantial rise up the Zones this past year and it's caused me to break a vast number of agreements I'd had in place for quite a long time. To say this has been uncomfortable is quite an understatement. For when one breaks an agreement with another or others, quite a bit of charge is activated on both sides. One of the biggest areas of agreement that I had locked in place was with money.

After turning myself upside down financially in attempting to start my own business, I returned to my previous career of selling technology. After several years of self-employment financial stress and strain, I had a banner year in 2007 in my sales job almost doubling my previous highest income. My investment in Knowledgism Training was paying off big time. Given this windfall of income, I was able to pay off over $50,000 of a dozen high interest (up to 32 %) credit cards over the past 6 months - foolish debt racked up in my quest for entrepreneurial adventure. In doing this, I was now breaking all agreements that I had with the people in my family and in my past. For no one in my extended family and friends made the income I made, took risks and borrowed recklessly as I had done and then was able to extricate themselves from this debt so easily and quickly. The Knowledgism Technology was now working full speed ahead. I was now operating at a much, much higher level of financial existence and was completely out of agreement with pretty much everyone I knew. Frankly, I was now out of agreement with myself and not sure how to behave or operate.

Two weeks ago, our washer and dryer began to die so off to Sears to get a new set we went. Ordinarily, I would have purchased the middle of the road set (my middle class heritage kicking in). This time, for some unknown reason, I went straight to the premium aisle and chose the top of the line GE washer and dryer. After purchasing these machines, a whole bunch of charge turned on as I had violated a family agreement - no one in my family ever bought top of the line new stuff. What will my mother think, my father think, everyone else I know think. Who cares I thought, but the charge was activated, nonetheless.

I then found myself with quite a bit more money than I was used to having in my checking account. As my wife's car (a 1996 Volvo wagon) is getting old and starting to wear down, I again, for some unknown reason, started looking for a car to replace it. I now had enough money to pay cash for the car if I so desired. This was a break from my agreement that we must borrow money to pay for large purchases like a car. I found a car that she liked (a mint condition 2001 used Volvo Wagon) and we decided to buy it. Normally this would have been a process of months - should we spend the money, maybe we should wait, let's put it off until next year....... This was my parent's thinking. Another agreement about money broken. (I did actually borrow some money - knowingly and at cause for a change - so I could conserve my cash to purchase VF 6-8 from the Ranch).

A new money reality is dawning for me. That, of having more than I need to pay the bills. That, of greater prosperity and financial abundance. And with this new reality comes new responsibilities and choices. For as I rise up the Zones into a more Green Zone existence, life becomes quite different - agreements must change, realities must change, my operating basis and behaviors must change, and my ability to be responsible and make choices must increase.

In breaking these agreements and their associated realities, a certain sense of aloneness, confusion and isolation has set in. Thankfully, I have Knowledgism to help me through this transition. For without Knowledgism, the change would probably be quite challenging and difficult to handle. With Knowledgism, anything and everything is now possible.

With love,
Anthony

Dear Friends,

I'm glad you are reading this because...

I have had something else to share with you related to my recent post of wins.

One might think that the achievements I've made are because I have special abilities and talents that have come easily to me - my ability to contact, professionally work with, and make friends with celebrities and leaders; my speaking ability, my writing ability, my ability as an Executive Producer and Director of my own radio program.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Let me tell you a story -

I started to learn how to be a good speaker about 26 years ago when I joined toastmasters and a few years later - Hawaii Speakers Association.
Some of my friends who were with me learning to speak, were far superior to me in their speaking talent and ability -
but a number of them did not put in much effort to get better. I kept learning new speaking skills and practicing speaking. I have delivered
hundreds of speeches over the years - as many as 3 or 4 a week. I have passed many of these friends by in my speaking ability.

Perhaps I have had to work harder than most. You see I was painfully shy as a young child. It was scary to speak to practically anyone outside of my family and very few friends.
I was also very serious, had practically no charm and had a critical and displeasing personality.

I've even had to train myself to learn to smile - This is a process that has taken years of practice and I still have a way to go on it.

The skills I have I've worked very hard for.

To get to Amazon best-seller status I took a course and I had private coaching. It was a very tough course for me. I studied lectures over a period of months, and there were hundreds of pages to read. I also got private mentoring. The actions I took in contacting centers of influence to help me, and all the details - I worked harder than I ever had in my life.

To learn how to be executive producer and host of my own internet radio show, I listened to lectures, read many pages of materials and had a little private coaching. Then the implementation. Wow! rewarding, yet a lot of work and challenging.

I just completed the first run-through of a course to learn how to put on teleseminars. This is a very extensive course - the lectures are as long as 7 hours each. I can listen to them at my own pace. I've gotten up 5 or 6 many mornings to listen to them.

I will be taking a course in a couple of weeks on how to write articles, and how to submit them on the internet to grow your list, get publicity, and make money.

For the past 19 years, I have taken a tremendous amount of courses that Knowledgism offers to become a very good processor. I have practiced these skills with my clients.

I realizing I'm describing the actions of someone learning to be a champion. In recent years I've stepped up my effort to excel at what I do - many fold. I owe a lot of this to Alan.

I'm closing with a favorite quote of mine.

FULL EFFORT IS FULL VICTORY
-Mahatma Gandhi

With love and gratitude,
Bruce

Subject:   Anchoring Wins
Date:   February 27, 2008


Dearest prosperity readers
It's been a while since I've posted but the wins have not stopped arriving so I'm going to make them more real by sharing with you all. Hope you can get something from them too.

Item 1
A couple of weeks ago, just before Del and Linda got married, I was at their home with our usual Wednesday night study group. We chose to watch the movie "The Secret" which I had heard much about. I was not familiar with the details.

Much to my surprise, the secret had to do almost exactly with the Reach and Withdraw exercise I have used and written about in this venue. It also duplicates the concepts in Waddles' "The Science of Getting Rich".
To recap, the concepts are 1: create a precise, powerful vision of what you want, 2: keep your attitude and outlook upbeat, positive, green zone. 3: The universe figures out a way for your vision to become your reality.
I am realizing that the withdraw part of my exercise has a lot to do with the second part about keeping positive. If you must have something occur in a certain way then your attitude may drop if your expectations are not matched exactly as you had envisioned. Withdrawing allows the universe (our spiritual teammates) to become creative in their assistance.

Item 2
I spent the weekend of Feb 9 in Phoenix attending Jayne Johnson and Blair Singer's Goals workshop. Powerful stuff. Helped me reconfirm the direction I've taken in this life.

Item 3
While sharing some of my wins with Reach and Withdraw over a lunch at the workshop, a woman at my table became very interested in what I was saying and asked if she could hire me to do some of the same for her. I agreed, and we arranged an after-meeting session. I am keeping in touch with her to monitor the results. Although I have helped dozens of people with this process, this is the first time someone has actually paid me, and insisted on paying me, for my assistance in generating a specific vision for them to reach into and withdraw from.

Item 4
While in Phoenix I met with a client I had done some engineering work for in the past. We conducted further business in that he honored some of the payment conditions by issuing a very generous number of pre-IPO shares from his company in my name.
This is part of the vision for my life I have been working on for approximately seven years now. That vision is to be a consultant to start up companies in multiple capacities. My studies at the Ranch are aimed at acquiring the powerful arrow of "Processor" to my quiver of other arrows such as "Mechanical Engineer" "Experienced Small Businessman" "Start up Experience" and "Really Nice Guy"... Ok that last one could be called "Friend!"

My vision is to help numerous small businesses get their feet on the ground in exchange for early stock purchases. It will not take many businesses being even modestly successful for this plan to pay off in huge ways. I am willing to trade smaller up front fees for the opportunity for the big payoff in the long run as many start ups fail due to lack of capital.

I expect a lot of the companies I help will not succeed. I know from experience that even the failures create growth for those that go through it. I'm willing to endure some of that growth ;)
As a further evidence of the good I have done for the Phoenix client, he asked me if I would be willing to come back and do some more work for him. I did not agree to do so, but did not shut the door, either. Neither one of us are the same person we were last time we worked together. Both of us have grown in powerful ways and the dynamic between us will differ for it.

Item 5
My level of confidence in me is higher than it has ever been. I can feel this almost daily as I go through experiences and situations that in the past I would have been nervous, uncertain, afraid to act, afraid to be known, afraid to make a mistake. I marvel at how far I can see I've come. I wonder how far I can go. Guess I'll just keep processing, being present.

Item 6
My reach and withdraw results on "more income per customer contact" continues to develop. My delivery business bill-ables are now up 80% over what it was when I started the exercise. Part of that is that people have moved from companies I served to companies I was not serving and have invited me to begin serving the new company.

Item 7
I would like to thank the staff and all who were at the ranch just before Christmas who did a Master Mind session and a Reach and Withdraw with me dealing with converting my dry cleaner/laundry into a passive cash flow situation. It was a rather unusual session in that Immediately after I did the R&W, I stuck my head in the sand, as it were. Renee and I took our two daughters to Hawaii for Christmas to celebrate the eldest's graduation from college.
While in Hawaii I did not even think about my business to speak of, nor did I have my antenna up or ears open to any possible solutions which may have presented themselves there. Maybe stupid me, but I forgive myself. We had fun and relaxed very nicely.

I returned to Dallas after a week away on a Monday. Tuesday I received the first call dealing with a possible road to passive cash flow. It came from someone I did not know, but from someone who knew someone I know. I invited him to view my plant and in the process triggered another person to pose a solution to the passive cash flow situation. Since then, I have had at least three other spirits offer ways to convert my business. None of them yet has presented the entire solution that matches my vision, but it may be a combination of several of these that is the solution I can be comfortable having. Stay tuned...It's still working.

Item 8
I admit that I get a bit of a glow inside when someone on the list mentions me as a teammate. This is most common in regard to my writing or practical input about reach and withdraw and how it has helped in their lives. I feel so honored to be able to help my friends. Some of those friends I have not yet met in this lifetime except through the words of this medium. Thank you all. I know I learn from each of your writings, as well.
Thank you Alan for providing the space, research, and education for the substantial growth I have experienced and have seen in others due to their exposure to this information.

Thank you Del and Linda for opening your home to those willing to grow with you.
Thank you teammates for all you input into my life and spiritual growth.

Love and Presence
Damon

Subject:   I'd love for you to read all about this
Date:   February 22, 2008

Dear Friends,

Ceil asked me what I’m doing that is bringing in so many people who want to do a profile analysis....

It's giving me lots of contacts to build my business.

When I started to answer her question, so much came out that it shifted into a big win. Thank you Ceil.

1. I'm totally committed to my life purpose and I have a deep sense of mission – I have a deeply burning desire to do what I came here to do.

2. I'm constantly studying the following: sales, marketing, promotion, internet marketing, how to put on teleseminars, and how to do presentations. I implement what I learn as quickly as I can.

3. My revised edition of my Amazon best-selling book, The Giving Zone, has on the front cover "Free Bonus Pack - See Inside." One of the bonuses in the book is the free profile analysis. Also the people who sign up for any of the three bonuses get captured on my email list.

4. The same bonus pack www.givingzonebookbonus.com I am offering as a bonus in some situations on the internet. For example I had to change the service that sends out my emails. For the inconvenience of having to switch, I offered my list the free bonus pack. (The free bonus pack offers the profiles, a MP3 recording of mine for them to listen to and a newsletter.

5. I reach, I reach, I reach...

6. I hand out my book like a business card especially to powerful individuals. Shoshana and I handed out one of my books to a woman who makes 1.7 million per month. We are becoming friends. She loves the book and told another powerful Center of Influence about it. He was mailed my book.

7. My website www.livinginthegivingzone.com offers the profile for free.

8. My radio show www.givingzoneradio.com helps me get known. The people I interview have email lists that they can let know about the show. This builds my list. I get known, my brand The Giving Zone gets known. And people can do a search and find my www.livinginthegivingzone.com and get the free profile.

9. When I speak I give people the www.givingzonebookbonus link to get the profile and the other two bonuses.

10. At the end of emails that I send out I often have the phrase "Tell a Friend" This can generate referrals.

11. I'm forming joint venture partnerships with others and many of them love my book. I started one such partnership yesterday with two people. One of them is a successful financial consultant who has a couple of Fortune 500 Company clients. He is going to interview me for a sales training program he is doing. The recording will have my name on it and my brand - The Giving Zone, and I plan to have website information on the recording.

12. I have a brand - The Giving Zone. I got it through the US Patent Office. I work on establishing this brand and also my name Bruce Painter is a brand.

13. I'm doing a media campaign now. I was on Top 4 Market Radio last weekend interviewed by Jon Griffin in Dallas.

14. I've written some articles, I plan to write more.

15. I am blessed with a partner Shoshana who is in charge of Marketing and Promotion. She is an awesome marketer and an awesome mentor of mine. When she talks with people, projects start forming and turn into gold.

16. I make sure I'm in front of people delivering processing if I don't have paid sessions to deliver. I especially target leaders who know people.

17. I've become very good at networking. One international business woman has given me 14 referrals. I got referrals from these referrals and so on. Some of these are well known people.
i) How did I get the 14 referrals. I was of service to her in an awesome way. I interviewed her for my radio program. In interviewing her I edified her. It's what Alan talks about that you ask people about their story. So currently about once a week I ask a celebrity, expert or author to tell me about their story through my radio program Giving Zone Radio.
ii) I am giving her a gift of some processing sessions because she gave me one of her most valuable commodities – some of her top connections. The processing is changing her life. Her best friend (one of her referrals) who works with Les Brown and some other well known people is getting processing from me too. The word is getting out about me.

18. My posture in life is that I'm of service to people. I've let go of some restraints on giving and I love giving to others. An example of this giving is that I'm forming a friendship with a celebrity who is a featured speaker of "The Secret" and has a #1 New York Times best selling book. For a new book of hers, I helped promote it by giving her over 300,000 people to promote her book to. The 300,000 are from people that I know who have big lists. I asked the list owners if they would like to help her book campaign by letting their lists know about her book. What this did is give them a new friend - a celebrity. They wanted to help her and be connected to her. One corporate trainer, speaker and best-selling author that I connected her to communicated to me that when I want to get my work out into the world he will help me.

19. I'm beginning to do what the wealthy business people do. According to George Fraser, Author of Click, the wealthy business people spend 54% of their time building relationships. The average business person spends 18% of their time building relationships.

20. I build relationships when I speak to audiences.
i) I discovered the importance of this when I observed the results of two speeches I gave two days apart. In the first speech people raved about my talk. I had two people who came up to me and want to connect me to different organizations. One wants to put me in front of charities and churches. Another says that what I have is very marketable. He wants to connect me to some corporations and to some leaders of a college.
ii) In the second speech, I thought I was brilliant, but I had no people show interest in working with me. What was the difference? In the first speech I formed relationships with the people in the audience. Not only did I give great content, but I loved on the people I presented to. I was there early to meet and talk to them. In the speech I projected a lot of warmth. At the end I stayed and talked with them. I had a mindset of giving to them. In the second speech my focus was on myself. It was “look how brilliant I am. I have this great knowledge and I'm great and you'll see how great I am.” Well, I was ego tripping. I was not connecting or serving them at a high level.

21. I've launched myself as an opinion leader and a celebrity. Being an author was huge in this process. In addition, having my own radio show put me as part of the media. Being Executive Producer and Host of my own radio show has given me tremendous power and status. People want to be interviewed to tell their story and get their word out. Quite a few of the people I interview are powerful. And I cross promote with a number of these people.

22. I now target leaders as my most important market – one great emphasis of mine is processing leaders. The business leaders who work with people are the cream of clients. They tend to process like a dream and tell others about me. The more able and successful they are, the easier it is to serve them and expand my business. Alan taught me years ago to select clients on this basis.

23. I’m getting over my prejudices. Recently I was at a very high powered networking meeting of a group of about 100 people who want to get in the media. I was one of the presenters of a panel of experts telling the audience how to start their own radio show and profit from it. Before getting on the stage, I saw a woman sitting on my right who seemed to be very average. She dressed plain and I prejudged that she was very ordinary. Well, my pre-judgments have a lot of inaccuracies. I introduced myself to her. It turns out that she is extremely wealthy and influential. She has a seven figure per month income. Shoshana and I are becoming friends of hers and we are helping each other out business wise. I got big enough to overcome my pre-judgment and introduce myself to her. It also turns out that one month previously we had given her my book. I forgot that she was one of the people I gave my book to. We gave 14 books out at that previous meeting. Robert Kiyosaki says your book is your business card. I also sell books, but putting the book in the right hands is a powerful process.

24. I put in long hours. I am currently working 7 days a week to break through. I’ve had it with mediocrity. Yes, I take a few hours off here and there. I have to in order to restore myself.

25. I get a lot of help. I have a book agent. I have a couple of friends who mentored me on how to become an Amazon best-selling author. Also two people mentored me on starting my own radio program. I have a number of Centers of Influence friends I can help and they can help me. I have advocates – some of them are evangelists who tell others about my work.

26. I work at cultivating gratitude. For me this is an essential part of success. In the morning before I get out of bed, I take time at acknowledging what I’m grateful for. I’m also beginning to do a process of setting goals of what I want to accomplish for the day. In this process I’m beginning to cultivate a sense of gratitude directed towards the things I want to accomplish.

27. I’m grateful to Alan, Staff, and Knowledgism because without the help of Knowledgism, I don’t think I would have made it. My 19 years of being involved with Knowledgism has been a quintessential part of my success. It has helped me become literate, courageous, learn to reach, develop mastery, learn to work with, and learn invaluable leadership, communication and sales skills. And it’s given me the skill of processing. The processing skill helps me form Gold Zone friendships. Shoshana and I were socializing with a person who runs a large international organization. I caught a trigger of hers; she opened up about it, and now I’m processing her. I also feel that Alan and Knowledgism helped save my marriage. I had destructive patterns that were handled, and now I am a much better husband.

With love and gratitude,
Bruce

Hello Prosperous People: It’s been a while since my last posting in spite of incremental wins and advancements.
“What game are you playing?” opens many opportunities, and this is one of mine.

At one point I could have characterized my relationship with my mother as quite toxic having endured the physical, emotional and mental abuse that she employed as her parenting technique. As a child, I really couldn’t understand what was going on. Very confused and upsetting points of view dominated my experience as this relationship blossomed into all out war. I really resisted such suppressing behavior. Confused, really about how to connect to this person and get what I really want from her.

As a young adult I resorted to blame and shame on her for my misfortunes but this really didn’t help much. Somewhere along the line, I realized that I should figure out what I wanted from this person who was just as stuck as I was and if I were going to ever get this “want” I was going to have to manufacture it because there was absolutely no possibility of getting it from her. Eventually I was somewhat able to create this for myself and perhaps even for some others.

After training and studying various Kn courses and weekends I was surprised recently. I’ve been spending a lot of time with my mom lately. She’s getting older and I just wanted to have some moments with her. Through this course of time, I’d moved from just trying to “express” my love for her into exploring the games that we’ve played together. The games of the past were as mentioned, quite toxic. Somewhere along the line it was possible to create new games and give up the “now known” negative games. One of my games became, “I want her to experience being loved and cared for beyond her own dreams”.

A few days ago my mother fell and “wounded” herself, nothing big, just some cuts and bruises. She called me first (I have 3 siblings) to help her. Through the course of a few days of treating the wounds and changing bandages, she told me that “she feels so loved and blessed by her family”. She said this so profoundly that I really got her reality on it. This, at another point, would have been unthinkable to have heard from her lips but it was now released into the world and I was the witness. This is a miracle in my universe. I better go find some more unthinkable thoughts to think and better games to play.

Thank you for reading.

Rick

Hello,

Recently, I have been achieving some unexpected wins at wok and among people I have deluged with Knowledgism material in the past.

I was unexpectedly approached by a friend at work to give a lunch time introductory talk on Knowledism. Well my friend also confirmed a room reservation for noon last Monday. Two people showed up. I still need a lot more practice but it went over well.

Also, I recently emailed two messages from Ceil to friends and relatives. One message concerns Ceil's biography. The other one concerns the $97 introductory package.This is a grat package.

An old time friend from my human potential days said she would contact Ceil for information about coaxching. The other was a niece who loved Ceil's biography. Ceil, your bio really resonated with the women.


What has happened for me is that co-processing with Shirley Bleu has helped lift my regular mood level. It appears that my having a higher mood level , being friendly and caring and funny seems to bring people to me.

Thanks for reading,
Hillory

Hi Everyone,

I have had some great wins over the last few months, it is a little long but that’s what happens when one doesn’t post frequently.

One of the wins that I have had has come from Life Mastery. It is simple as “not taking it personally” this is a win which has been in the process over a period of time. The amount of times something would happen and I would take it personally, people would be commenting on something I had done and I would take it as it is me that is wrong or I did it wrong and it was not good enough. It certainly is a relief not to be carrying that around with me everywhere I go.

Coupled with being willing to experience more (still some work to go) and not go effect to it has been a major win. To be able to experience when someone is in a bad mood and not go small to them or take on there stuff has made my life a hell of a lot easier. I was out to dinner with some people and a woman we were with had very strong intentions with what ever she was talking about (there was no negative stuff in it). I found myself trying to hold off the amount of intention she had behind it. Until I spotted what I was doing and then was willing to experience it and then it felt very easy. Things seem to flow all because I was willing to experience it more. So it is not just the negative experiences I have to work on. It feels so good to not be a cause all the time and be willing to be at effect. As I said I still have work to do.


A number of us (Up to 20 people at one stage) have been playing the Cashflow game, sometimes 4 games running at the same time. We have played it as a team vs team and the only way to win is everyone on your table must get out of the fast track. It has been a great learning tool to be able to play in life as a team and help everyone on my team win. It certainly is a work with, high mood level way to play. I have been practicing investing this way and it is so much fun to play win/win and everyone move toward there own goal also. Playing this way has been so good, thanks to Warren and Nerisa for your help with investing also. You both have shared a lot of support and help when ever it has been needed. I certainly could not have done it with out you both and the opportunities that come with it. I have the opportunity make lots of money with it too J My family is also stepping up and creating the financial freedom they desire which really makes my heart sing since is has and is a long term goal which I have.

Cath you have been instrumental in nearly everything I have done J. Thankyou so much for your care and willingness for me to win without any judgement. It is certainly the sessions we have done together which have led to me where I am today with a much happier life. You have constantly supported me with the growth and the ability to play bigger games. I am making a real effort to leave my work which I have been doing for the last 20years. I working part time now J Been able to set up other forms of investing and create an income at the same time which is fantastic. Cath it has been the little steps that have made the big difference.

I realise how important many of the courses I have done have been instrumental in me winning. BOLP, OAB, Omni-sovereign Life by Design, Life by Design Power Coaching and the VF’s not to mention the weekly lectures that Cath has done in the past and Carmel does weekly. The workshops that Cath has delivered which have been awesome. The continuous learning and taking the next correct steps have been phenomenal. Alan thank you for keeping the tech alive, creating the Ranch, delivering the training and technology, holding the courses and having the resources to keep doing what you do.

My relationship with Carmel has just gone from strength to strength and much more meaningful relationship. Carmel thank you for all the time and space not to mention the support you have given me.
Cath you have constantly challenged me to reconceptualise myself and the bar keeps on rising, I know I have more in me and the challenge has been to let myself get out of the way J. I have been fortunate enough to have many friends involved with the tech who do not let me play small. Trudy and Rob have always demanded more from me than I have of myself, I thankyou both for only wanting the best for me and doing drills with Carmel and I. I think you both took a page out of Catherine’s book.

There are so many others who have supported me in many ways. Tim, Mike and Leanne, Ivan and Sue and Steve with out you all there I would not have a team. It is everyone mentioned above that has made my life so much easier. You all play with the best of intentions and the willingness to kick me up the butt when needed and boy I know I have needed it. My biggest win is having the team I have. Thank you all!

Love Dave
