Transform your Mind

Are you lifted by your purpose? This week on Mindset Transformation Radio and Podcast, I interview Ms Arifah Yusuf who is not only lifted by her purpose but founded a company called Lifted By Purpose where she helps youths in Toronto, Canada to become lifted by their purpose. As Arifah was working with the youth she noticed their tattoos and decided to have a spin off company called Tattoo Stories. She used the tattoos stories to help her clients share their stories through the images they permanently put on their bodies. That brought me to my tip of the week: How we perceive images can link us to our purpose. How you react to an image can tell you a lot about you, including your life’s purpose. Art speaks to us because it’s about us. It’s about our collective and individual journeys in this wondrous, immeasurable universe. As Chuck Klosterman said, “Art and love are the same thing: It’s the process of seeing yourself in things that are not you.” Images stir up numerous emotions in the beholder: awe, shock, sorrow, rage, and even repulsion. You may feel an intense, nameable emotion within seconds of seeing an image, or it could take several minutes of staring at the image before you can decide what it means to you. And as art is as diverse as the people who create and perceive it, the responses to it naturally vary. Art can play a crucial role in self-discovery and an individual’s purpose in life. Click the link below to take your image purpose test and see what it shows is your purpose. https://themindsjournal.com/this-image-test-will-reveal-your-true-purpose-in-life/ I took this test and my test revealed that my purpose was to spread Happiness. So True. "Your master purpose in life is to spread happiness. You will always see the optimism in life no matter how dark it may seem. You can distinguish the lightness from the darkness and this is what takes you to another level. With happiness, everything can be cured and your purpose is to spread this feeling in times most needed." Here is some more information on my guest: Arifah Yusuf, is a registered social worker from Ryerson University. She has 12 years experience engaging and developing programs for youth, facilitating workshops and providing counseling services. Ms. Yusuf was nominated and awarded the Community Health Champion Award for her dedication working with youth. In 2015 she received the leadership award from Canadian Alliance of Black Educators and in 2016, the Ontario Leading Women in Community Award. She is trained and certified by the National Organization for Victims Assistance, Traumatology institute, and is a Mental Health First Aid Instructor. In her role at Lifted By purpose, she is the Founder and Executive Director.

Question 1: Can you tell us your journey as a social worker and how it transitioned into founding Lifted by Purpose? I grew up a a rough neighborhood in Toronto. As a youth, I had a family member who died from Homicide and that affected me profoundly but I did not have an outlet to grieve so I became very depressed. As i got older, I wanted to become a social worker so I can help other youths who experienced trauma to have a space to talk and get help. Today "Lifted by purpose" provides services to help the youth with coping skills and prepare for a purposeful future. 2.

Is the secret to Love, Sex? This week on Mindset Transformation Radio Podcast, I interview Love Coach James Green. James answers the question "Is Sex the most important factor in a relationship? Tune in to find out the answer. So, let me ask you. What do you think is the most important factor in a relationship? In my research for this interview. I found this article on the secret to a long marriage. Hint it was not Sex! Secret to a long Marriage A couple was celebrating their golden wedding anniversary. Their domestic tranquility had long been the talk of the town. A local newspaper reporter was inquiring as to the secret of their long and happy marriage. "Well, it dates back to our honeymoon," explained the man. "We visited the Grand Canyon and took a trip down to the bottom on the canyon by pack mule. We hadn't gone too far when my wife's mule stumbled. My wife quietly said, 'That's once.' We proceeded a little further and the mule stumbled again. Once more my wife quietly said, 'That's twice.' Hadn't gone a half- mile when the mule stumbled the third time. My wife quietly removed a revolver from her pocket and shot the mule dead. I started to yell at her for her treatment of the mule when she looked at me and quietly said 'That's once." Lol. Hope you had a good laugh. But in all seriousness. We have heard the phrase " A Happy wife a happy life" Here is another article about a couple married 79 years. “Just want you to know that you’re still the one I would choose. Still the one I give my heart to, still the one I love.” So, what’s their secret? “To support one another, whatever the problems may be, good or bad. Stick together. That’s about it,” Bertha said. “You know why this lasted 79 years? She has the last word,” Dan added with a smile. Let me introduce my guest this week: James is a certified Love and Emotional Intelligence coach. His mission is to teach people how to love themselves as well as love each other. James specialty is Relationship and Personal Development Coaching. Show notes: 1. Question 1: Tell us of your journey to become a Love and emotional Intelligence coach. Do you have a personal story that made you specialize in this field? I was a single parent and realized that when looking for a mate, I had to look for someone who would fit into my lifestyle as a single father. The woman had to accept me and my son as a package deal. That made me look at factors other than Sex. As far as my journey to becoming a Love and Emotional intelligence coach, I found I had the aptitude to reach people. People opened up to me. I remember once standing in the line at McDonald's and this man in line started talking to me telling me his story. I decided to get my certification as a Life Coach 2. Question 2: How does emotional intelligence fit into the relationship dynamics? Emotional Intelligence is the ability to hear what your partner is not saying. It is the ability to realize that when your partner says Fine, I am okay with that. for example. She is not fine with that, from her tonality or her body language. Another facet of emotional intelligence is the ability to keep your cool and not fly off the handle at the slightest provocation. 3. Question 3: What problems do find are the most common and how do you coach your clients to solve them? I find Trust, Communication and the inability to seek out coaching until after they start experiencing problems. Couples tend to think that coaching is not needed until there is a huge problem in their relationship and when I...

This week on Mindset Transformation radio and podcast with Coach Myrna Young, I interview Leadership Coach and Trainer, Gail Green. Gail teaches us How to Become an Open Communicator. Gail is the founder of GoGreen Learning. To receive her Free Gift of 3 Go Cards send her an email from her web site www.gogreenlearning.com Here is a brief Biography of my guest Gail Green. • Gail is a leadership coach and trainer and her topic today is "How to find out if you are an open or closed communicator" in your business environment. Gail is a leader who connects individuals and teams to their truth, helping them to discover their full expression of courage, joy and fulfillment. Gail works with all sizes of companies, as well as individually with leaders, and do life coaching with individuals from all walks of life. • Gail’s primary work is in leadership development, teambuilding, stress management and all forms of communication skills. Why is being a closed communicator bad? Because as a closed off person, you become defensive, resistant, bitchy, moody, easy to anger, confrontational, and not open to feedback. So as a Leader, it is important to be open to your team and employees. Open people radiate outwards from their heart and is able to touch others. If you want to impact your employees and your customers, then learn how to be open. Listen to the podcast as Gail teaches us how to be Open vs Closed with the help of her Go Cards. Brian Tracy The author of "Eat that Frog" also teaches How to become an Open Leader and achieve new levels of success in sales. Click the link below to find out how. Are You also Closed Off in your personal relationships And Don’t Even Know It? How Would you answer the following questions? Are you emotionally guarded? Are you willing to take risks? If you answered yes to these questions, it could mean that you are closed off emotionally. Sometimes being emotionally guarded gets you into bad situations; but most of the time it gets you nowhere. In every area of life, there is no reward if there is no risk taken. So that could be why you keep finding yourself in relationships that bore you, or in relationship with other emotionally closed off individuals. Because like attracts like. Those relationships aren’t very rewarding, are they? If you don’t take the risk by putting your true self and your true feelings on the table, those are the types of relationships that you will attract. Your emotionally open friends will get those giddy, best-friends-lovers, movie-type romances; you will get the dead-end ones. Maybe you’ve never had your heart broken, and maybe you think that’s a perk. But it’s not. It is said that it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all! So, I will ask the question. Are you closed off and don’t even realize it? Here is an article from Madame Enoire that asks 10 more ways to tell if you are closed off personally. Here are 10 ways to tell if you closed off personally: 1. Do you feel like first dates are interrogations, and are put off by the line of questioning you receive during them? 2. Does it feel very inappropriate to you whenever someone becomes emotional around you? 3.

In today's episode I want to share with you Life Coaching Part 1: Who am I? from my 6-week Life coaching workshop. We can never become who we were meant to be unless we can first recognize who we are. To know thyself is to grow thyself So let’s dive right in. First a little about Who I am. I am a certified Life coach specializing in Mindset and consciousness. In 2012 I wrote my first book “Becoming conscious, my awakening” because I started to understand Who I was. In this episode I will take you through the process of discovering Who you are. If you like this content please share with your friends and remember to rate, review and subscribe to the podcast. Thank you Question #1 What are my deepest and truest values? Your deepest values are the ones no one can move you off of. Your deepest values are the ones that if not met, hurt the most. Your truest values are the ones that make you cry. Your deepest value could be that you would never hit your child. You were abused as a child and you vowed never to hit your child; but you get married and your spouse believes in spanking. He or she believes the bible that says spare the rod and spoil the child. So, your spouse spanks your child. It hurts you so much that you are forced to file for a divorce. Irreconcilable Differences! Another example could be that you were brought up that nice girls do not have sex before marriage. It is a deal breaker in all your relationships. Your dates either leave you or they cheat on you; but you can't bring yourself to have premarital sex. It is one of your deepest and truest values. As a result, you are single and unmarried at 40 years old. Your deepest values could be about how you feel about charity. I never pass someone on the street begging. I feel it is a blessing to have a dollar to give. My husband on the other hand, feels that everybody can find a job, and only the worthless people stand at the corner and beg. That is his deepest value and this is mine. Your deepest value could take the form of image. You may be willing to endure a passionless marriage if it gives you status in your community. There are lots of big houses with white picket fences that house very unhappy families. One of my deepest values was on domestic abuse. My ex-husband slapped me and I divorced him. Simple as that! My value took the form that I would never become a battered woman. I knew that if he hit me once he would hit me again. My daughter was 5 years old at the time. Most women would have a value in giving their children a family with a mom and dad. But mine was more self-centered. Nobody should judge your deepest values. They are yours. You must know them and accept them. They make you who you are. A unique being! Your truest value could be in how you love and receive love. Do you believe that you could only love one person and there is only one true love for you? What happens if you get a divorce or your spouse dies? Does that mean that love is over for you? How do you receive love? I heard a story once about a woman who would ask her husband every day if he loved her. He would say of course I love you honey. Yet she did not believe him and would ask him again the next day. She felt love by how much attention she received from her husband. As her insecurities grew she required more and more attention. The marriage ended in divorce. Your deepest value could be on why you feel you are on this earth, in this body. Do you take the time to consider your purpose and your legacy? Question #2 Ask yourself What are my preferences and priorities? What kind of house would I like to live in. What country would I like to live in if I had a choice.

Do you feel that you are called to make a difference in the lives of others? Do any of these statements sound like you? • I want to help others and make a difference in the world. • I want to have a life purpose beyond what I am currently doing. • I want to be happier, satisfied and fulfilled with my life. • I want to get unstuck and feel more in control of my life. • My friends all tell me that I should be a coach! Becoming a Life coach is both a rewarding career and a financially viable career. Life coach’s life Tony Robbins make millions of dollars per year. Top Executive coaches can charge up to $3000 for a 45-min session to coach top CEO's of major corporations. As a starting Life coach, here is the statistics of what you can make in the first year of business. Average coaching salaries according to Sherpa: Executive Coaches make $325 per hour. Business Coaches make $235 per hour. Life Coaches make $160 per hour. A Life coach is the umbrella that all other coaching fall under. A top CEO for example is coached on how to be good leader and motivate his managers to excellence but if his personal life is a mess he cannot be effective. Who you are shows up in all your interactions As you coach others, you are also coaching yourself. Here are the steps to becoming a certified Life Coach: 1: Figure out your niche - what are you going to specialize in For example, would you want to coach on happiness? The goal of every living person is to find happiness. As a Happiness Life coach, you could coach your clients on the following: Defining Happiness – What is Happiness, how is it measured Benefits and Challenges in finding happiness Finding happiness through networking and getting to know people. Most of us need others to make us happy. Worksheets and Workbooks for Your Clients, e.g. to remove old conditioning and beliefs. You could do an Intro on how You found Your Happiness Peeling Off the Layers – What is making your clients unhappy Layer 1: Desire (influences/programming/expectations) Layer 2: Limiting Beliefs (unconscious/agreements) Layer 3: Ego and Identity (attachments/roles) Layer 4: Time (past and future vs. the now) Layer 5: Patterns and Conditioning (rewiring for joy) Layer 6: Your Current Mood (emotions) Certification Completion – You are now ready to go do it! 2: Find a school that teaches the foundation of the coaching business as well as the principles 9 Key Considerations for Choosing the Right Coach Training Program for You 1. What is the training school’s underlying philosophy? The traditional method of coaching often brings about only incremental and short-lived results. Of course, when you help change a person’s actions, they do get results—but not sustainable results. That’s because the underlying thoughts and emotions that truly drive actions are not addressed. Without changing core thoughts and emotions, individuals eventually revert back to their old habits, routines, and actions. Find a program that teaches you how to help your clients change the way they think and feel. A program that teaches you how to help clients break through limiting thoughts and emotional responses, and replace them with supportive, empowering beliefs. As a result, clients are moved to take powerful and consistent action. 2. How does the school deliver training? A very important aspect in choosing the right coach training school is determining which program employs the most effective training and learning techniques for you. There are many ways to deliver coach training: • Live classroom training • Telecl...

In this week's segment of the Mindset Transformation radio show and podcast with Coach Myrna, I teach on the topic how to Raise your Self Esteem by Erasing Self Doubt. Self confidence and self esteem is the belief that you can accomplish any task or any goal. Self doubt is the negative narrative that plays in your head. It is like PAC man. It is there to eat up your confidence I was listening to a Ted talk YouTube video last week and the speaker was telling his story. He said for 10 years he smoked crack when he woke up and before he went to bed. Hoping to numb the pain of living. He was a disappointment to his mother, his wife and his children. He felt worthless! On his second trip to prison, he spent a total of 8 years in prison, his adopted mother had a heart attack and he was told she was not going to make it. He felt pretty low that this woman who he adopted him and loved his as her own and tried to give him a better life was now in the hospital, in a cold dark room and he was not there to offer her comfort. This was the first spark of change in him. Maybe he should do something with his life other than being a mess up. When he got out of prison this time he decided to go to college. He was now a middle aged black man and he was in college with 20 year old white students. Never the less he did good and now looked forward for the accolades his teachers gave him because he was performing better than expected. He said that praise was now his new drug. He lived for his teachers praises. One day one of his teachers put an application for a job on his desk. He couldn’t believe it. His teacher had confidence in him, his teacher had confidence in his ability to do the job. The self confidence seedling inside him got water and grew a little. As his self confidence grew, his life changed. No longer was he a non contributing member to society, he was making a contribution. He now had a new family and 7 years after he was released from prison, he received his PHD in Physiology! Self confidence doesn't always come naturally. Sometimes you have to practice and practice until you build it. Sometimes it comes from your teachers or your parents. So today I will share some tools to help you build up your self confidence and self esteem while starving the negative self talk. The negative talk that tells you, you are not good enough. You can never make it, you are not smart enough, pretty enough, thin enough. But before we can get to the solution of anything or before we can get to anywhere on the map, we have to know how we got to where we are right now and pinpoint where we are. For example. If you are at the mall and you are wanting to go to Macy's department store you look at the map and it shows "You are here" if you want to get to Macy's than you know you have to walk right or left. It is the same way in life. Statics show that we can shed a lot of light on how we got here on the map by looking at our childhood. You see parenting does not come with a manual and some parents get it right; but most get it wrong. Understanding your inner child is very important to unlocking the door of where you are on the map today. You see when you came into the world you were totally dependent on someone else to care for you. Not just to feed you, bathe you, and to keep you warm but to love you, protect you and nurture you. If whenever you cried your mother or caregiver came and picked you up and smiled at you and comforted you then you transformed that into the feeling of you are important. If however when you cried you were ignored, then you formed the feeling that you are unwanted.

This week on the Mindset Transformation radio show and podcast with Coach Myrna, I interview Online business coach Jessie Guilford. Jessie is a marketing expert and she will teach us the top "Seven Social Media Tools to Grow your Online Business." Tip of the week from coach Myrna: How You Can Use Pinterest To Grow Your Online Business Pinterest exists for people to come together to gather, collect and share snapshots of their own ideas, memories, and interests. In the early days of the social networking platform, that was all Pinterest really was. A simple place for people to come together and scrapbook. It was a collectively personal experience that gave the world something nice. These days, Pinterest is more than just a nice global scrapbook. With 100 million active users (emphasis on the “active”), it’s now being used by some of the biggest companies on the planet to build awareness, drive traffic to their websites, and sell. Pinterest is popular with users because it allows them to choose how to interact with brands and businesses — not the other way around. Users can navigate based on their own interests so product endorsements aren’t quite as invasive here as in other social media platforms. Most people on Pinterest are actually looking to make purchases, which means brands are only really guiding their products to the people who need them. Guest Biography Jessie grew up on a grain & cattle farm in Manitoba, Canada with a passion for the outdoors, horseback riding, shopping and creating the life she desired. She graduated University with her Bachelor of Business Degree and achieved the Duke of Edinburgh's Program Gold Award before entering the corporate world.

Realizing that the 9-5, slowly-climb-the-corporate-ladder world was not for her, she soon realized her passion for coaching amazing women from all over the world to help them achieve their business goals and build a life they loved. Show notes: 1. Question 1: How did your love of website design from the early age of 22 come about? 2. What are 3 things to think about before starting an online business? 3.

This week on The Mindset Transformation Radio show and Podcast with Coach Myrna and Rich Dad trainer Trevor Evans, we discuss the topic "Is Starting A Real Estate Investment LLC A Good Idea?" This is the 6th episode in our Funding, Fixing, and Flipping Series: Listen in to understand how important setting up your Real Estate Investment business with the right tax structure, would allow you to keep most of your investment income and not pay all of it to the tax man! Tip of the week from Coach Myrna: Landlord LLC benefits If you hold and rent Real Estate, this article could offer massive insight on one possible way to structure your company. We are not giving legal advice, just questions for you to ask you asset protection attorney. Keeping in mind the risks associated with opening your business as a sole proprietorship, consider using this scenario for your business. Open an LLC, purchase a property, but don’t manage it. That’s right, don’t be the one to manage the property. You can use the combination of a C-Corp and an LLC. Let the C-Corp manage the company. This is good to reduce liabilities. How? Let’s take an example. For the last four months, the tenants have been complaining that the parking lot in the complex you own is too dark. They don’t feel safe walking to and from their cars at night and want to have you install more street lights to brighten up the area. They continue to complain to the management company, the C-Corp, letting them know of the issue. Having not addressed the concerns, the parking lot remains dark and one night, while walking in from her car, a young mother of two who live in your property is robbed at gun point in the dark parking lot. When she sues, who is liable? The LLC? They own the property, so it would be them, right? Wrong. The C-Corp, as the managing entity, is the responsible party when it comes to any damages and liabilities incurred because of this incident. The LLC, having limited liability, is protected. This is something very important to keep in mind when making the decision on which type of entity you wish to use. For more information on setting up the structure of your Real Estate Investment business, check out this Connected Investor Blog post https://connectedinvestors.com/blog/real-estate-investment-llc-vs-s-corp/ So, What are the Pro's and Con's of LLC for Real Estate Investing? Is starting a Real Estate Investment LLC a good idea? Tune in to hear Trevor's answer. What exactly are the major differences between an S-Corp, C-Corp and an LLC as it relates to real estate investing? A C-Corp is a management entity. As per my tip of the week. Use your C-Corp to manage your rental properties. So, in case you are sued for negligence, the C-Corp would be the benefactor of the law suit and you as the owner would have no liability. The C-Corp also has more leniency in regards to what expenses can be written off; but the biggest benefit of having a C-Corp manage your rental properties, is the ability for the C-Corp to collect rental revenues and pay the HOA dues and other expenses from these revenues. You as the owner of the property, would only be responsible for your positive cash flow at the end of the month. If you were collecting the rents in your personal name then you would have to claim the entire amount as income. LLC - A single member LLC offers no asset protection and is charged with self employment tax. A multiple member LLC has asset protection. A multiple member LLC,

In this episode of the Mindset Transformation radio show and podcast, coach Myrna interviews Valeri Bocage. Valerie lost everything in hurricane Katrina and used her pain to create her company Powerful Women International. She believes that the greater your pain the greater things that are birthed from this pain. She believes that whenever you focus on what you have lost, you can never move forward. Her purpose was to make a difference. She says to figure out who your audience is. Who are you supposed to make a difference to? My tip of the week is: How to Create Positive Core Beliefs Our guest today shared her story of losing everything in hurricane Katrina and bouncing back to become the CEO of Powerful Women International. To do that she had to have positive self-worth and positive core beliefs. Beliefs are the truths people hold on to that guide our life. The power of belief can trap you, as in the belief that you deserve only a limited amount of happiness. Or belief can free you, as in the belief that you are safe and protected in the cosmic plan. When you open your awareness to your strongest beliefs, which are known as core beliefs, two things happen. First, you find out who you are and why you behave in the ways you do. Second, new energies become available when you pursue the core beliefs that are life-supporting, fulfilling, and spiritually transforming. How to Create Positive Core Beliefs A powerful core belief is pure and direct. It gives you a clear sense of who you are. It isn’t confused, conflicted, or compromised. Let’s take steps to make this the kind of core belief you are activating. Step one is to bring your core beliefs into awareness. The four key beliefs you want to activate are: I am loving and lovable. I am worthy. I am safe and trusting. I am fulfilled and whole. You already have existing core beliefs in these four areas of love, self-worth, security, and fulfillment. Your beliefs can't be changed simply by throwing out an old one and adopting a new one like changing your wardrobe. The change must come at the level of self-awareness. At the core of your being, where your true self resides, the truth about you is clear and unequivocal: You deserve unconditional love; you are of unique worth in the universe; you can trust Nature to protect and uphold you; and your fulfillment comes from being whole. To overhaul your beliefs means that you get closer and closer to your core beliefs, these four inner truths, which are absolute. Right now, there's a gap between them and what you experience. For most people, the positive and negative side of their core beliefs depend on how good or bad their experiences have been in the past. If you have been deeply hurt in love, for example, it is hard to adopt the core belief that you deserve infinite love. A Self-Awareness Exercise to Create Your Core Beliefs Reliving experiences from the past only keeps you stuck in the past. Your core beliefs are activated in the now, every day. They can only be changed in the now! Here's how: Look upon what's happening now as a reflection of your core beliefs. If the reflection is negative, pause and ask yourself why it fits the storyline your beliefs create. If you experience any kind of abusive treatment, for example, this reflects a victimhood story supported by a core belief that keeps you in the story. If you experience unexpected kindness, on the other hand, this reflects a storyline that includes compassion and reflects a core belief in how much you deserve love. A core belief that God has plans to prosper you, will take you through any setback. • Valeri Bocage started Powerful Women International in 2006 after moving to San Francisco,

On this weeks episode of the Mindset Transformation radio show and podcast with Coach Myrna, we discuss the Power and Purpose of Journaling. My guest today is Margaret Elizabeth Hulse, a novelist who uses her fine art and jewelry designs to illustrate her journaling stories. Margaret writes stories with her body, mind, spirit that she says exist in the beauty of Texas, the Caribbean, and New Orleans. Before opening Mpulse Studio | Charlotte St. Charles, Margaret Elizabeth Hulse graduated with a degree from St. Edward’s University and began her career in the arts apprenticing under metal sculptor, Daryl Colburn. She then served as the director of both Tate Gallery Austin and Urban Roots Gallery before she spent time in non-profit development and coordinating effective programs for various organizations. Margaret Elizabeth opened her fine arts studio, Mpulse Studio, in 2014 and launched both her women’s and men’s jewelry lines, Charlotte St. Charles and Stanley Kemp & Co in 2016. In 2016, Margaret wrote her first novel, Sketches from the Heart of a Texas Artist, based on her short story, The Sketchbook and is working on her second novel in the series, Antoine’s Lament. Margaret feels that the problems experienced by women that are related to feeling stuck can be inspired to transcend from the monotony of day to day, obligatory tasks and into a life life filled with passion and purpose from the power and purpose of journaling. She says "I write relatable, yet sensual, passionate stories that take my readers on new adventures and create custom jewelry so that the wearer has something unique to set her apart from the typical, ‘go-to’ designs. I evoke an excitement that people feel they haven’t been able to tap into for a while, whether it’s because they’ve been hurt, or have simply lost themselves as they’ve tried to make ends meet." She feels that through journaling, she learned how to manifest her dream work through writing her way out of a trauma. Her first published journal simply titled, "Sketchbook," is an illustrated short story that serves as a preamble to her novel, Sketches from the Heart of a Texas Artist. I write and speak often about the power of healing through creativity and how the more you write about something, the more likely it is to come to fruition. On a personal note, I have always journaled to download and to write down my goals and dreams. The power and purpose for my journaling for me has been manifested in my life over and over. There are 3 ways to attract anything into your life. First you think it in your mind, then you speak it into the atmosphere, then you write it down to give it form! Journaling can also help you out of a bad mood. You Can Write Your Way Out of an Emotional Funk. Here’s How. journaling-can-help-you-out-of-a-bad-mood. James Pennebaker, a distinguished professor at the University of Texas, got married right out of college in the early ‘70s. Three years after his marriage, he and his wife started to question their relationship, and Pennebaker, confused and unsettled, sank into a depression. He ate less, drank more, and started smoking. Embarrassed by what he saw as emotional weakness, he became more and more isolated. One morning about a month into this decline, Pennebaker climbed out of bed and sat down at a typewriter. He stared at the machine for a moment, then started writing freely and frankly about his marriage, his parents, his sexuality, his career, and even death. As he wrote, and continued to write in the days that followed, something fascinating happened. His depression lifted and he felt liberated. He began to reconnect with his deep love for his wife.

You convert them into Hard Money lenders and pay them a good interest rate. 4. Borrow from your Whole Life Insurance policy. 2. Take a loan from your 401K. 3. Take out an Equity line of credit on your personal house. The commonly used strategy in real estate investing is the use of a Hard Money Lender. So, if the Hard money lender does not look at your credit, what does he look for? 1. Your expertise. Most Hard money lenders want you to have 3 investments under your name. This does not include your personal residence. 2. The ARV or after repair value. The property must have equity before the deal is made. 3. How did the property come on the market. Eg is it a Foreclosure, short sale or probate. 4. What is your exit strategy? Are you buying to hold or buying to rehab and Flip. 5. How long you need to complete rehab work. 6. How much is the estimated cost of repairs. Tip of the week: Confessions of a Hard Money Lender -And Why We Hate Hearing “I Need 100% Financing” Make no mistake, hard money lenders need borrowers to deploy their capital and get a return on investment for their capital partners. They often enjoy repeat business – real estate investors aren’t typically one-time borrowers, so asset-based lenders like hard money lenders or private money lenders value the business relationships they develop with quality borrowers. One way to invest in real estate with no money down or little or no cash is to borrow from Hard money lenders who charge high interest for short term loans. When hard money lenders provide a loan, they want to be confident that the borrower is able to repay the loan on time. If the borrower isn’t able to pay back the loan, this creates a great deal of extra work, stress and potential financial loss for the lender. A strong borrower with a significant down payment (or equity in the property) and cash reserves has the best chance of obtaining a hard money loan and succeeding with their real estate project.

Have you found your purpose? Our topic today is "How to find your purpose" by becoming a Diamond. My guest today on Mindset Transformation radio and podcast is Marlene M Bryan, inspirational speaker, author, business coach and President of Small Biz Evolution. Marlene is going to teach us "How to find your purpose" by becoming a Diamond. Marlene asks this question: Do you remember the day you asked: “Why am I here?” “Why was I born?” “Why don’t I know my purpose?” And the best of all: “Why me?” It’s okay to ask the question why? Yet some people get hung up on the “why” and never move forward or take action to put what they have learned into action. Coach Myrna tip of the week comes: From the book "As a man Thinketh" by James Allen on the topic "Thoughts and Purpose" Until thought is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment. Those who have no central purpose in life, fall an easy prey to petty worries, fears, troubles, and self-pitying; all which lead to failure, unhappiness, and loss. For weakness cannot persist in a power-evolving universe. A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. Even if you fail again and again to accomplish your purpose (and you must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of your true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph. Those who are not prepared for the apprehension of a great purpose, should fix their thoughts upon the faultless performance of their duty, no matter how insignificant their task may appear. The weakest soul, knowing its own weakness, and believing this truth- that strength can only be developed by effort and practice- will, thus believing at once begin to exert itself adding effort to effort, patience to patience, strength to strength will at last grow divinely strong. Only by searching and mining are gold and diamonds obtained, and man can find every truth connected with his being, if he will dig deep into the mines of his soul! Our topic today is "How to become a Diamond by Finding Your Purpose" Diamonds are created far below the earth's surface from immense pressure and heat. Diamonds are the most indestructible element. How does finding your purpose compare to mining for diamonds? We come into this world from pressure. But we come into this world as coal in the rough says Marlene Bryan. Similarly to the diamond we need diamond cutters to shape us. Our diamond cutters are our parents, teachers, coaches, mentors, relationships, They cut and shape us either to shine like a Diamond or stay as coal! Finding your purpose make you a diamond because then you will believe that you are precious. How do you find your purpose? Your purpose can come from a place of pain or from something you love. If you can't figure it out, get the help of your diamond cutters! Ask them what you do well or what your talents are. Pain is an energy much like anger that moves us out of our comfort zone into our purpose. What are the 4 C's of a diamond and how does becoming a Diamond Help us Find our Purpose? CUT: The cut of the diamond determines its value.

“A real estate wholesaler contracts with a home seller, markets the home to his potential buyers, and assigns the contract to the buyer. The wholesaler makes a profit, which is the difference between the contracted price with the seller and the amount paid by the buyer.” Tip of the week: So What Exactly is Wholesaling Real Estate? Wholesaling is often marketed as a low-to-no cost way of getting into real estate investing and this can be true. A new wholesaler can certainly profit with a much lower initial cash outlay than an investor who has to buy a property and rehab it. However, the successful wholesaler has to have a firm grasp of what makes for an attractive deal – once you understand this process of wholesaling, it becomes much easier and can be broken down into a serious of repeatable steps.

Finding beauty in your Now is the point of all power that unlocks healing, growth, strength, peace, desires, success, and happiness says my guest this week on the Mindset Transformation radio show and podcast. This week I interview Aireka Harvell, aspiring motivational speaker who focuses on transforming the minds and lives of women with her blog “Be That Woman.” She is also the Founder of Nodat Place Advertising LLC. where she encourages and promotes female entrepreneurship and offers daily motivation and support through her social media platforms. Today our topic is "How to find Beauty in your Now" Aireka has a powerful story of overhearing a mother telling her son that she was ugly and that she would treat him better when she was just 9 years old. That tag stayed with her throughout her life and gave birth to low self esteem, becoming a Pleaser and allowing her husband to mentally and physically abuse her. Aireka lived in darkness for most of her life, until one day she heard the voice of God telling her to Help other women "Be That Woman" he made them to be. Today she has a huge following on Instagram and on her blog and offers Hope and Encouragement with her daily posts. Listen to find out How to control your mind and bring it under subjection when thoughts of fear and hopelessness threaten to stomp out your joy. Learn that there is opportunity to learn and grow from every situation. The tip of the week from Coach Myrna is an except from the book The University of Success by Og Mandino A Conversation with our manufacturer (God) God: Tell me "what is your purpose down there on earth" Man: Well you know "I want to work hard and not hurt anyone, and I want to get along with folks and stay out of trouble" God: "But what about your talents" Man: Well what talents I have and there are not much, I take good care of. I kind of pace myself, you know. No, No,No God shouted, your answers are all wrong. Don't you remember the story of the talents? Man: Yes I think so ... You gave each of three men a different set of talents. To one man, you gave five talents. To another man, you gave two talents. And to the third, you gave but one talent. "That's right says God: and some years later I checked up on each of these three men. I was pleased to find that the man with five talents had multiplied his talents by working hard, and applying each one. The man whom I gave two talents had also labored hard and multiplied them. But when I checked with the man I had only given one talent, I became very angry. For that man had buried his talent in the name of protecting it. To which I cursed him saying "thou wicked and slothful servant" how dare you not use the gifts I gave you. You Knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed. Do you not get the point of this parable? Man: Yes I think so. I am to use the talents you gave me and multiply them to help others. God: Let me ask you another question "Who is in charge of your life?" Man: I am responsible for my life - but with a few exceptions. I mean sometimes you just don't get the breaks, you know. Sometimes things just don't go my way, but that is the way the ball bounces or the way the cookie crumbles" God jumped to his feet "No, No, No, he shouted. "When will you learn, you are totally responsible for your life, no exceptions. You are totally responsible for the results you obtain. Not your mother, not your father, not your boss. It's not the breaks,
