Only Quality People (OQP)

February 19th, 2010

admin

Years ago a billionaire friend of mine said to me “Tom, 5 years from now your income will be the average of your five best friends.” I also remember my parents saying to me as a young child ” You are who you hang around with.” My friend and my parents are all very smart people who have achieved great success in their lives, and over time I have found profound truth to this wise bit of advice. Since applying this concept to my life I now make more money, have better physical and emotional health, and have developed deeper and more satisfying relationships with those people in my circle of influence.

When listening to world famous motivational speaker Les Brown speak live at a conference, I heard him use the acronym OQP or Only Quality People. He could not stress enough, how important it was to surround yourself with only quality people. He said “If your the smartest person in your group, you need to find a new group”. He said “If your the strongest one in your group, you need to find a new group”. I think we can, without permission, take that a step further and say “If your the most happiest and most successful person in your group, you need to find a new group”. Why is this so important? Let me explain.

In every relationship in your life there exists a struggle of influence. Meaning, when you engage in any form of regular communication with another person wither it be physical, verbal, non-verbal, spiritual or otherwise, you are affecting, and are being affected by, that person in either a positive or negative manner.

Think of a relationship as an ice cube in a cup of hot water. Lets say the water in the cup is 130 degrees Fahrenheit and the ice cube is around 28 degrees Fahrenheit. As soon as the ice cube is placed in the cup of hot water the struggle of influence become evident. Simultaneously the ice cube begins to warm and melt, while the water in the cup begins to cool. This will happen until the ice cube has fully melted. At this point the ice cube and the water in the cup have reached a dynamic equilibrium of sorts and have achieve a temperature of around 79 degrees Fahrenheit depending on room temperature.

Now in this example, the influence each substance had on each other is of no consequence and can not really be looked at as neither good nor bad. However, in a real life setting, with each component being a real person in a relationship, the influence that each person has on the other can significantly effect the life of each person involved. What I want you to understand is that every relationship you have with someone in your life has the potential to damage your life progress and overall happiness if you let it. On the other hand, every relationship you have has just as great a potential to lift you to new levels of personal growth, achievement and overall happiness. This is great news! This means that you are in 100% control of who you choose to let into your circle of influence and can therefor start taking immediate action in surrounding yourself with OQP. Lets dig a little deeper.

I think its safe to say that all of us are currently engaged in several relationships in our current lives. Have you ever taken a step back and asked yourself, “What is this relationship doing for me?” or “What is this relationship doing TO me?” Heavy analysis of all of your current relationships, I’m hoping, will be an eye opening experience for you. You must ask yourself ” Does this person support me, encourage me, inspire me, love me, look out for me, respect me, advocate for me, listen to me, challenge me, motivate me, have compassion for me, teach me, believe in me, and complete me?” Or does this person “Defeat me, anger me, disrespect me, lie to me or about me, insult me, deflate me, drain me, frustrate me, discourage me, doubt me, limit me or crush my dreams?” I understand that sometimes your relationships are not always this black and white, however through careful evaluation you should be able to figure out if the relationship is having a more negative or more positive effect on you as a person.

You need to learn how to manage your current relationships, as well as the relationships you will form in the future. Only Quality People needs to become a way of life for you. You need to develop an automatic regulatory component in your very being, that allows you to surround yourself with the kindest, smartest, happiest, and most successful people you can find. This is absolutely detrimental to your success and is concept all of the most successful people in the world understand and employ.

You can either spend your life at the mercy of the negative influence of your relationships, or you can take control, and increase your chances for success by letting Only Quality People into your life. The choice is up to you.

I love you all and wish you the best of success.

What You Must Understand About Making Money

January 8th, 2010

admin

There has mostly likely been hundreds of thousands of books written on the topic of money. Most of these books focus specifically on how to make money. It is the force that runs our world wither we like it or not. This may not always be the case, but for now it is one of the driving forces that motivates us on a daily basis.

What most people don’t understand, is that its not really money were after at all. Its a feeling. We see money as the means be which we may achieve a specific desired feeling. A way to make us feel good, or any number of the other desired positive emotions that define our own personal pleasure. What we are after is a feeling. At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to feel incredibly happy? Of course! I think anyone who is truly honest with themselves would agree to this notion. Knowing this, I would like to make the assumption that, in most cases, it would be near impossible to be blissfully happy without having enough money to pay your bills. Fair enough?

With that said, let me give you a few helpful pieces of information to point you in the direction of financial independence.

The first battle that must be won on the war path to great wealth, is between you and your own mind. You must make it your belief that you can and will succeed from the very beginning. Once you have said to yourself “I’m going to do it, that’s it, period!“, you will have an easier time with this next potential road block. Remember, you never fail until you quit!

Mastery of this next mental skill, in itself, will propel you with lightning speed toward achievement of your financial dreams. Understand that, the excitement of winning must always be greater than your fear of losing. If you can train yourself to think this way automatically, you will become very wealthy in a relatively short period of time. However, if you let fear continue to run your life and keep you from taking calculated risks, you will most likely never achieve anything substantial in the financial sense.

The next habit you must remove from your unconscious is that of comparing yourself to other people when evaluating your financial success or progress. One of my very wealthy mentors once told me, ” Success is not what you’ve done compared to what other people have done. Success is what you’ve done compared to what you COULD HAVE DONE.” Always keep this in mind when trying to determine if your taking the appropriate action steps toward success. This is truly the most effective way to judge yourself if you want to achieve a great financial outcome.

Finally, this last concept is, by itself, the biggest reason why 95% of people in the United States make less than $100,000 a year. Don’t look outwardly and blame everyone else for why you are not making as much money as you should be. If you truly believe that everyone else is to blame, then your only option is to try and change everyone else. This is not an easy task. I would go so far as so say its impossible. Once you come to the realization that you are the problem, you can change, learn something, and grow wiser. It is far easier to change yourself, than it is to change anyone else. That is where your power lies. I cannot place enough emphasis on this. Without this, you will never create wealth in your life.

I hope that you see these last few concepts for how important they really are to your success. Please do not consider them simplistic. They will take time to master, however the rewards of your efforts will be life changing. I will go into greater detail in forthcoming blog posts on the specific mental and physical exercises you must master, in order to attract money into your life. Until then I will leave you with a statement of universal truth; The Poor and Middle Class Work for Money. The Rich Have Money Work for Them. More on this next time.

The Ways to Wealth, The Government Wont Tell You

December 6th, 2009

admin

I sincerely believe that the last part in the title of this post is the major reason why 1% of the population earns or controls 96% of the money in this country. Roughly 99% of the people in this country spend the majority of their hard working lives working for money, while the remaining 1% has money work for them, your money! This is such a gross imbalance of wealth that I sometimes find it hard to imagine how we got here. That is, if I didn’t already know.

When you really get down to it, all we are talking about is a nation wide, and often global example, of organized crime on a massive scale. This inexcusable monetary nightmare is secured by a multitude of different factors. The most important and affective of these factors include, the regular administration of misinformation to the general public. The people of the United States of America are fed a constant and heavy dose of lies every time we turn on the news, every time we read the paper, every time we open a magazine, surf the internet, and even when we listen to a live public address from our friends in Washington. For years we have been bombarded with massive amounts of purposely misleading information on a daily basis. With most people having no idea as to the hidden agenda of those who take dominion over us.

There are a few select groups of people who, at the very highest levels, and within associations that you have never heard of, for lack of a better term, control the world we live in and how it functions. These individuals include, primarily, people of government and industry. They are the ones who make up the 1% who is making nearly all the money. These associations, or secret societies, have been around for hundreds of years and have been very successfully at keeping the general public in the dark.

The good news to this unfortunate circumstance, is that there are a group of individuals who are currently working night and day to make sure this economic slavery does not continue. They are a very capable group of individuals, with only your best interest at heart. They are leading the charge against the most devastating adversary ever to face the American people……….our own monetary system. You see our monetary system is flawed in its very design, and because of this fundamental flaw, it will cause most people to stay in debt their whole lives. I happen to believe that this flaw is not a flaw, but potentially a perfect design created for the benefit of the powerful elite. Interest rates, fees, taxes, price manipulations, inflation, corporate monopolies, media, planned obsolescence, are all strategies designed to make a few people very very rich largely through the process of cyclical consumption. The worst part about these people getting rich is that the only way they know how to do it is by keeping you poor. They live their lives as parasites, feeding off our confusion, lack of education and low belief shown by the American people.

Knowing all this, I wake up every day with a smile on my face, knowing everything will be alright. My faith comes not from the pages of history nor from predictions of the future. My faith comes from my belief in our ability as human beings to do what is right. I still believe that there are far more good people on this earth than bad and that even those who have lost their way will have a chance to make it right.

Here is where you can make a difference in your own life as well as the lives of your friends, family and neighbors. On November 1st 2009, a group of very wealthy, powerful and morally sound individuals, launched a global foundation, who’s initiative will change the world as we know it for the better. The sole mission of this association is to provide the opportunity for financial independence, dynamic health and the attainment of truthful information, to every and all individuals willing to put forth effort. Put simply, they are going to show you how to make money, improve your health, and provide you with truthful, previously withheld information with the sole purpose of improving your life.

All information on this life changing opportunity can be found here at TomLavigne.com. You have been given the only opportunity, that I know of, to take control of your life through the attainment of valuable, truthful and immediately usable information. Be the change you wish to see in the world. The life you want it waiting for you. Go and get it!

God bless.

The Best Retirement Strategy

November 29th, 2009

admin

Up until a couple months ago I was living in Sarasota, Florida. During my two years in the sunshine state, I was privileged to speak with hundreds of older adults about about the topic of securing a worry free retirement. Needless to say most of the people I spoke with were at least somewhat concerned with how they were going to make their retirement dreams a reality. This worry was largely due to the instability of 401k’s , IRA’s as well as the depreciation of their property due to the crashing market. Huge money was lost, with very little time to make up for the damage. At the time I could not see a logical solution to this widespread problem.

I saw most people losing the hope of ever being able to retire. I believe this was due to the consensus that the accumulation of a solid retirement fund requires a lot of time. I have no doubt that if they attempted to do this using traditional methods, they would be right. However I do believe that there are at least a few underutilized methods for securing your retirement, given you have an open mind and depth of vision. It is my belief that what I’m about to share with you could be the best retirement strategy currently available.

Recently an association called the Global Information Network launched a global attempt at increasing the financial independence of qualified members of the general public. The mission of this foundation is to provide proven methodology, as well as comprehensive training, that will allow the average every day person the ability to accumulate substantial wealth, in a relatively short period of time. They do this by providing previously withheld, vital information, to individuals as part of The Global Information Network membership. Members of GIN benefit not only from the information they receive, but also from the associations they have with other members.

The Global Information Network specializes in providing information on The Law of Attraction, money making opportunities, investing, world wide real estate opportunities, stocks, bonds, trading, commodities, world wide currencies, offshore banking, asset protection, and natural remedies and cures for illnesses. This information is available to members and affiliates through audios, books, and live training events all over the world. The credibility of this member only association is second to none, with its 30 founding members having a net worth of over 500 billion dollars.

I believe that GIN could be the answer that millions of potential retirees are looking for. Not only does GIN provide outstanding, detailed information on exactly how to turn knowledge into money, but they also have a compensation plan for affiliates they will blow your mind. The founders of GIN have used statistics, combined with advanced propitiatory algorithms to create the most powerful compensation plan ever created. It has been specifically designed to allow someone to completely retire in 2-5 years, due to an accumulation of potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars in residual monthly income.

I have decided not to wait until retirement to take advantage of this amazing opportunity. The Global Information Network officially launched on November 1st, 2009. I’ve never seen success come so quickly for so many people. This company is really changing the world. Visit The Global Information Network international website to see if this opportunity is right for you. Any of the blue banner ads on my page will connect you with the GIN official site. I wish you all health, wealth and prosperity.

30 of The Worlds Wealthiest Billionaires Have This In Common

November 22nd, 2009

admin

One of the concepts that I touched upon in an earlier blog was “Who do you listen to”? After reading that blog, you should have come to the conclusion that you should only listen to people who have what you want and have been where you are. This means, the people you want to listen to are the ones who started with nothing, figured out the formula for success, and used it to achieve something great.

I have personally used the above technique when seeking council from individuals who would help me achieve financial independence. My quest for determining who to listen to, led me to an organization comprised of 30 individuals. The collective net worth of these individuals is around 500 billion dollars. Many of them have what I want and have been where I am. Since joining this organization, each day of my life is better then the last. I know my life will never be the same, and because of that, I am inspired to share bits and pieces of what I have learned with you. Most of what I learn in this organization is kept completely confidential, and is for members only. However, my best judgment tells me that what I will share with you today will be fine with my organization.

Now pay attention, because its about to get real! I am about to share with you how these 30 multi billionaires developed the necessary skills required to make, and keep, billions and billions of dollars.

I’m sure you are all aware that there are three basic learning styles. They include Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. Also known as seeing, hearing and doing. Do not concern yourself with trying to determine what style category you fall under. The only thing I want you to understand at this point is that the most powerful, and affective form of learning, occurs when all three styles are combined. Knowing this secret, and consistently putting it to practice, has allowed these 30 mindblowingly successful individuals to retain the necessary information to make and keep more money than you can imagine.

Allow me to explain further. These super wealthy individuals have always, and still use to this day, a combination of visual, auditory and interactive learning to develop very specific wealth creation habits. They read books, listen to CD’s, and participate in seminars, conferences and meetings, where they are involved in mastermind sessions with other like minded individuals. They read books every day. They listen to specific audios every day. Lastly, they attend functions as often as possible. They feed their mind just like they feed their body, giving it information EVERY DAY. It is by this consistent repetition that they build the fundamental habits and ways of being, that allow them to become money magnets. This was exactly what they told me to do. They provided the quality information, and I used these three methods of learning to absorb, and then apply, the information that has changed my life forever.

There it is! One of the major secret practices that 30 of the worlds richest people have used, and currently still use, to accumulate massive amounts of wealth. Historically speaking, most people will fail to use this technique, and as a result, fail to create wealth. This is because most people will think the information to be overly simplistic and not even begin to apply it. These people will often stay broke their whole lives. If your serious about achieving financial independence on any level, you will make this your life.

Some of you may be thinking. “Ok, I think I understand the most affective way to learn, but how do I find the right people to listen to?” Well, your off to a good start here at TomLavigne.com but you may want to take it a step further. If you want to learn directly from these billionaires themselves, there are several blue colored links on this page that will take you to the source of the knowledge. The rest is up to you. Take care and I will see you on the next post.

The Training Balance Scale

November 14th, 2009

admin

Number three of the five proven and time tested success principles, is called The Training Balance Scale. This could possible be the most important principle of all, because it embodies the godfather of all success principles, known as The Law of Attraction. Like the Teachability Index, the Training Balance Scale also has two components that you must fully understand and apply in order to make your dreams a reality. Is may be looked at as having both mind and body potential for creating what you want. Meaning, that one category involves your thoughts, and the other category involves your actions. What must be understood about these two components is how much time should be spent on each, in order to achieve the desired result, in the shortest amount of time.

Contrary to what the average person might think, it is actually the thinking portion of the Training Balance Scale that all of the wealthiest people on planet earth spend their time in. How do I know this? Because they have shared the information with me directly. More on my relationship with these individuals in a later blog. This concept of spending the vast majority of your time thinking your way to success may seem like a waist of time to many of you. If you let that be your mind set, then I can honestly say you have a long hard road of mediocrity ahead of you.

For those of you who can grasp this concept and combine it with a high level of belief, you have a monumental advantage over the rest of the general public. If you learn anything from my website, I want you to leave with the understanding that the key to your success will come 99% from your thoughts, and 1% from your actions. This is a universal truth that only the most successful people in history have known about, and applied.

Now that you know this technique, I want you to apply it. As we start to put the power of the mind to work, we must first provide it with some direction. Providing your mind with a central focus is the key to getting what you want. First, you must have a definite aim or a clearly defined dream. This dream or goal has to be large enough to get you extremely exited when you think about it, but small enough that you firmly believe you can achieve it. When your dream satisfies this criteria, then its in your sweet spot. Having your clearly defined dream in your sweet spot is the most powerful use of the mind for bringing what you want into your reality. Put simple, the more often you hold that dream in your mind, and the better you feel while thinking about it, the faster your dreams of wealth, health and anything else you focus on, will manifest. Remember that I am only giving you a mere outline of these concepts and that more details will be coming later. Let the thinking begin!
