Free Car From Blogging – Goal Manifested!

by 1 Comment

In January of this year I wrote a blog post where I set a goal to manifest a “free” car from my blog income.

When I set that goal in January, my blogging income at that point in time was at approximately negative $300, meaning my expenses to run my blog were costing me $300 more than I was making from my blog.

However, even though my then current reality was showing me one thing, I believed that I could get my blogging income to the point where I could make enough profit per month from my blog to be able to pay for a monthly payment on a brand new car.

A couple of days ago I realized that goal and I picked up my brand new car, which I’ll be paying for from my blogging income.

Before I continue, I want to offer a disclaimer.  My results are not typical.  In fact, most bloggers who try to make money blogging don’t make any money at all.

Making money in any type of business, online or offline required hard work and persistence as well as access to proper training and mentoring.

That’s why I recommend joining my team with Empower Network to get access to proper training and mentoring.

Now that we got the legal stuff out of the way, here are some pictures of my new car!

 

I decided to go for the brand new 2016 Honda HR-V compact SUV.  It offered pretty much every feature I was looking for in a car and a great price!

One of the cool things about the HR-V is what Honda calls “Magic Seats”.

The back seats in the car actually fold up, to open up a space on the floor in the back which is perfect for transporting tall items (think flat screen TV, or a plant), but for my purposes it makes it perfect for my dogs!

I will no longer need to worry about having the dogs sitting up on the back seats and getting them dirty. 🙂

Also with the dogs sitting lower, it’s safer for them, and they won’t be blocking my view in the back.

 

 

Here’s Zoe enjoying herself in the new car.  I can’t wait to start shooting some more “Driving with Paul” videos, and taking the dogs along for the ride! 🙂

 

The car is also fully loaded with pretty much every feature, bell and whistle I could ever ask for.

Full navigation system, touch-screen, amazing audio system, back-up cameras, side-mirror camera, heated seats, sunroof, bluetooth integration, push-button start, all-wheel drive, heated seats, keyless entry, and a LOT more.

I’ve had the car now for a few days and had a chance to drive it around a bit and although I’m still learning how a lot of the features work, so far I absolutely love it!

If you could get a new car paid for from blogging about your passions, what kind of car would you get?

Time For a New Car

by 1 Comment

At the beginning of this year I wrote a blog post titled “Free Car From Blogging“, where I described my plans to use my Blog to help me generate enough income to cover the monthly cost of a car payment so that I could essentially get a new car for “free”.

Of course it’s not really “free”, but I just mean that if I could get my blog income to cover my car payment (or more), it would be like getting a free car from blogging.

One of the reasons I wanted to do that is because I really don’t like having a monthly car payment each month.

I don’t know why, but I have never really liked having a monthly car payment.

I have no problem having a monthly mortgage, or a monthly cell phone payment or any number of other monthly payments, but for some reason I’ve always avoided having a monthly car payment.

It’s probably some sort of limiting belief or engram I picked up growing up or something.

In fact over the last 10 years, my wife and I have driven two Mazda 3’s, both of which I paid for in cash so that I wouldn’t have a car payment. 🙂

Both of those cars actually serves us very well, and for the most part we had nothing but a great experience with them over the last 10 years or so.

A few months back, my wife’s Mazda 3 started to have some mechanical issues and we decided that instead of dumping money into trying to fix a car that was starting to break down, we ended up getting a new car for her.

I wrote a short blog post and shot a quick video showing the new car she got a few months ago.  You can check it out by clicking here if you’d like.

After she got her new car I started thinking about what kind of car I would want to upgrade to once I got my blogging income to the point where it would pay for a car payment.

I actually got my blogging income past that point months ago, but I wasn’t 100% sure yet whether I wanted to commit to getting something new or of I should just keep driving my old car for now.

Then, a few months ago I decided to invest in getting a personal trainer to help me get in better shape.

My personal trainer actually comes to my house once a week and trains with me for an hour making sure I’m doing all my workouts properly, with proper form etc.

Of course, this type of 1-on-1 training at home costs money, so THAT has been where I’ve been investing a portion of my blogging income in.

In essence, instead of investing into upgrading my car, I started investing in upgrading my body / fitness / strength level.

At the same time I have been keeping an eye on the car market, looking around to see if there were any cars coming out that I liked and that would fit into my lifestyle.

A few days ago, however, something happened which is now going to accelerate me getting a new car.

I was driving my Mazda 3 and all of a sudden I started hearing a really loud clunking noise when turning and driving around a corner in a parking lot.

I drove the car a little bit more, to see what was going on and the clunking persisted.

When I would drive straight, it was fine, just when I was turning it would make a noise, so I started thinking that perhaps one of my CV joints broke or something.

I managed to drive it home, and then over to my brother’s house for us to take a look at it.

My older brother is basically a self-taught mechanic, so I brought it over to his place for us to take a look.

We parked it over-night, and then yesterday we took the CV joint out but then discovered that it actually wasn’t the CV joint, but rather my transmission / differential.

What that basically means is that the car is pretty much useless now,as the cost to fix a transmission / differential on that car would cost more than the entire car is worth, so there’s really no point in me fixing it.

So what does this mean?

Well, what it means is that I manifested a situation which has lit a fire under my butt forcing me to stop procrastinating and to start looking for a new car.

It’s kind of interesting that I just wrote a blog article not too long ago where I talked about one of my friends wanting a new car and manifesting a similar situations as well.

I’m a little bit sad to see the car I’ve had for over 10 years finally packing it in, but I’m also excited about the new car I’ll be getting soon.

I’m still looking at different options as to which car I want to get, but I’ll keep you guys posted with new developments on this front.

What is exciting though is that with my blog helping me to generate some extra income each month, my car payment will be more than covered, so I’m excited about that.

Why The Hell Did I Manifest This!?

by 3 Comments

I’ve been a student of the Law of Attraction for about 13 years now and one of my earliest questions that I always used to wonder about, and probably the most common question I hear from people is “Why the hell did I manifest this!?”

Meaning, usually something happens in a person’s life that they perceive as a “negative” thing and they’re confused as to why that thing happened.

The usual example I like to use is car accidents.

Someone gets into a car accident and then they say to me “I don’t understand!  I wasn’t thinking about getting into a car accident!  I was just driving and thinking about what I’m going to have for dinner the next day and then BOOM, someone hit me!  There’s no way I manifested this.  I was in a good mood, I wasn’t thinking about someone hitting me!”

Well, look… NOBODY drives around thinking that they’re going to get into a car accident when it happens.

Then it wouldn’t really be an accident – LOL.

Let me share my perspective on how these things work, where something manifests in your life that you weren’t thinking about.

If you manifest something unexpected and seemingly “negative”, like for example a car accident or an injury or something like that… it’s for one of two reasons…

#1 – It’s Working to Your Benefit

Sometimes we ask the Universe for something that we really, really want, but we get STUCK in not knowing how to manifest the thing that we want.

For example, a friend of mine wanted a new car.  She kept talking about how she wanted a new car.

However, she already had an older car she was driving and she didn’t really want to sell it.

So the position she found herself in was where she wanted a new car, but already had a used car that she didn’t want to sell.

So then, one day while driving, one of her tires blew out suddenly and she crashed her old car into a pole.

Nobody got hurt, but the car was pretty much totaled.

Problem solved. 🙂

She now drives a new car.

Now, I’m not saying she crashed the car on purpose, or that she even THOUGHT about her old car crashing.

What I’m saying is that she wanted a new car, but felt a bit trapped in still having her old car, so the Universe manifested a set of circumstances which took care of that situation.

In the same way I’ve seen people talk about wanting a new job, but feeling trapped in their old job, and then one day they come into work and get fired or laid off and they’re surprised like “I can’t believe I got laid off!!!!”

Well, you’re asking the Universe for a NEW JOB, so what do you expect to happen!? 🙂

A lot of times when we manifest seemingly “negative” things, they aren’t actually negative things at all.

They are things that lead us toward what we REALLY want, and often times much faster than we ever imagined… it’s just that we haven’t seen the whole plan the Universe has for us yet.

So if you’re clear on what you want, and you’re feeling good about it and you’re keeping your vibration aligned with what you want, but something seemingly “negative” still happens, it most likely means that this thing will help you get what you want.  You just have to wait a little bit to see how it plays out.

Or, the other reason is this…

#2 – You’re Projecting / Vibrating the Matching Feeling to the Event

Going back to our car accident example…

Let’s say you get into a car accident, and it’s nothing related to reason #1 I mentioned above.

The other possibility is that you have been projecting / vibrating and thus ATTRACTING the same feeling that the car accident caused you to feel.

For example, lets say you got into the car accident and afterwards you felt anger and frustration and a sense of “I can’t believe this is happening to me!”

If that is the feeling that you went to after your car accident, look at your life for the weeks leading up to the car accident and ask yourself where in your life have you been feeling ANGRY and FRUSTRATED and a feeling of “I can’t believe this is happening to me!”

For example, let’s say that you run a business and you just found out that one of your employees has been stealing from you.

And let’s say that this causes you to feel angry, frustrated and a disbelief of “I can’t believe this is happening to me!”

And now let’s say that you fire this employee, and you spend the next 3 weeks telling and re-telling the story of this horrible employee to everyone you know and reliving that anger, and frustration and disbelief.

When you do that, you’re essentially sending out and order to the Universe to attract the same feelings…

“Hello Universe, I would like you to send me situations and circumstances where I will feel ANGER, FRUSTRATION and DISBELIEF…”

That’s basically what you’re telling the Universe.  That’s the order you’re giving it.

“Send me more of those things.”

So then, the Universe responds to that request, perhaps by manifesting this car accident in your life.

Why?  Because then you will once again feel ANGER and FRUSTRATION and DISBELIEF.

It’s not that you were telling the Universe “Hey, send me a car accident.”

You’re just saying “Send me ANYTHING that will make me feel this way.”

And the Universe just manifests whatever situations and circumstances that will mirror those feelings.

That is how it works.

And of course if after that car accident you then spend the next 3 weeks telling and re-telling the story of how this idiot hit you with his car, or whatever the situation was, guess what?

You’ll once again feel those feelings of ANGER and FRUSTRATION and DISBELIEF while telling your story to people, and guess what the Universe is hearing you ordering?

“Oh, you want MORE ANGER and MORE FRUSTRATION and MORE DISBELIEF?  Well, sounds dumb to me, but sure I can give you more of those…”

And then a few days later you once again manifest yet ANOTHER thing to be angry / frustrated about. 🙂

What to Do About This

So what do we do about this?  How do we stop this kind of crap from happening?

Well, in the first case, if it’s the Universe manifesting WHAT you want, but just in a method that you’d prefer to avoid, then just be more clear.

Let’s say you want to manifest a new car, then tell the Universe you want a new car in an easy and simple way, for the greatest good of all.

Essentially be more specific as to what you want.

Also, learn to ask yourself the question I cover in this video.

If it’s the second case, where you’re manifesting things that are a vibrational / feeling match to how you’ve been feeling lately, the only solution is to STOP feeling those ways.

If you’re angry about something, find ways to RELEASE that anger.

Don’t re-tell your story 100 times!

It’s okay to feel angry at times, but take that feeling and channel it into something positive.

Don’t just get stuck in an endless loop of constantly feeling anger over and over again.

Get help from people who know how to release stuck energy and unexpressed feelings so that you no longer have to keep manifesting more things in your life that make you feel that way.

If you don’t, then you’ll continue to manifest more and more situations, people and events which bring up those negative feelings again and again.

 

 

 

5 Mind Hacks For Living a More Awesome Life

by 1 Comment

Here are five very simple mind hacks that you can use to live a more awesome life.

All of these things are simple to DO, but unfortunately they are also simple NOT to do and that is why most people don’t do them.

If, however, you make a conscious effort to do these 5 simple things more often through your week, you’ll notice that you life becomes more and more awesome.

Here are the 5 things…

#1 – Laugh and Smile Often

Go out of your way to laugh and smile.

Tell jokes, listen to jokes, make fun of yourself or the situations in your life if you have to, but just find something to smile and laugh about every day.

This sounds simple, and obvious, but most people don’t do this on a regular basis.

Or they only time they laugh or smile is like once a month when they watch a movie or something funny happens to them.

That’s a great start, but if you actually make an effort to laugh and smile every day, at least once, you’ll notice that your life starts to become more and more awesome because the more you smile and laugh at things, the more the Universe gives you things to smile and laugh about. 🙂

#2 – Stop Making Excuses

Another habit that most people are in is the habit of making excuses and feeling the need to explain yourself and your actions to everyone around you.

For example, this morning I was working with my personal trainer and the first question he asked me was “Did you do your workout on Monday?” and my answer was “No I didn’t.”

End of story.

There was a valid reason as to why I didn’t do a workout this Monday, as I had done about 7 hours of landscaping work in my front yard the previous day (which is normally my rest day) so I made the decision to not work out on Monday.

But my trainer wasn’t asking me what my excuse was.  He was just asking IF I did the workout so that he knew which workout we were going to work on today.

When people ask you a question, answer it, but don’t feel the need to give excuses and explain yourself.

Most of our excuses and “reasons” are just stories we tell ourselves, and they’re neither true nor untrue… they’re just STORIES we’ve invented for ourselves.

However, if we get out of the habit of always making excuses and inventing stories, our life becomes more awesome.

You’re an adult.  You’re not a kid anymore.  No need to explain yourself to everyone.

You can make decisions.  If you decide to do something or not to do something, you don’t need to explain yourself all the time.

Even if you just reduce your habit of making excuses by 10%, you’ll notice a powerful shift start to happen in your life and it will become more awesome.

#3 – Escape From Reality Once in a While in a Healthy Way

Being too “realistic” all the time numbs the mind.

Make a conscious effort to escape this reality we live here on earth, at least on a weekly basis.

This doesn’t mean going out and getting drunk, wasted or high.

That’s not what I mean.

What I’m referring to is escaping from reality by doing something that engages your imagination and allows you to transport your mind to another reality and another “story line”.

Some people do this by reading books.

Some people do this by watching movies.

Some people do this by playing board games or getting involved in tabletop gaming.

Some people do this by going to a show, or a play or things of that nature.

Find ways to just take a break from day-to-day reality and find something that can engage and expand your imagination.

#4 – Get Out in Nature

Nature has a way of grounding and detoxifying our energy.

Go out in nature at least a few times a week, and ideally on a daily basis.

If you’re lucky enough to live on a property with a yard, get outside and touch nature.

If not, find a nearby park.

Touch a tree, sit on the grass, smell a flower, put your feet in water, etc.

Even just sitting and staring at a tree swaying back and forth in the wind for 10 minutes can have a profound effect on your energy.

Try it out.

#5 – Do Something Different

Get it he habit of doing something different.

This doesn’t have to be huge, but just make the conscious decision to change something you’re doing in some way.

For example, today when I was doing my workout with my trainer, we finished off with a step up/step down exercise where I was stepping up on my Powerplate machine and then stepping down while holding some dumbbells.

Now, for whatever reason I noticed that when I was stepping up onto the machine I was stepping up with my right leg first, then my left leg second and then stepping down with my right leg first, and then with my left leg.

I thought about it for a second and realized that I probably unconsciously do that every time I go up the stairs.

So what I decided to do is to switch things up throughout my set of these exercises and I kept changing which leg I would step up with.

I started with my right leg, then switched to my left, then back to my right and so on.

Now this might not seem like a huge thing, but if you make a habit of doing at least one small thing daily in a different way, you’ll expand your awareness.

Have you ever driven in the back seat of your car when driving with your spouse?  Meaning, if there’s just two of you in the car, have you ever driven in the back?  Why not try it?

If you normally order certain types of food at a restaurant, why not try one new thing?

If you normally buy clothes at a certain store, why not try buying one piece of clothing in a new store?

These things don’t have to be HUGE.  Just do SOMETHING different.

Try eating with your non-dominant hand.

Open the door with your non-dominant hand.

Try it out.

You might notice that life becomes a little bit less boring and a lot more awesome when you’re willing to try new things and do something different each day.

The Dead Simple 4 Step Formula for Achieving Results

by 10 Comments

There is a very simple formula for achieving worthwhile results in virtually any area of your life.

The formula is dead simple, but each part of it must be followed in order for it to work.

The formula is simply this:

“Do the right things, correctly, long enough, consistently and you’ll achieve the results you want.”

Sounds pretty simple, right?

Well, it is, but let’s dive into each of the parts individually to see what it really means.

# 1 – Do the RIGHT Things

The first part of the formula states that just going out there and DOING things is not good enough, you must also do the RIGHT things!

As an example, I first started working out when I was still in high-school.

My older brother had a very basic weight lifting bench he bought and I used to use it to do bench press and a few other strength training exercises hoping to build muscle.

Then for the next 20 years I dabbled with all kinds of different ways of strength training.

I bought a gym, barbells, dumbbells, and a bunch of other strength training equipment.

I then read some books on strength training and tried working out based on what the books taught.

I only stuck with it for a short period of time before giving up.

Then I tried joining a gym, and that didn’t work for me at all.

I found it so time consuming I never ended up going to the gym.

I tried programs like P90X, gym equipment like the Bowflex, free weights, a vibration plate machine, and a whole bunch of other things.

The challenge with all of these different things is that at the end of the day, no matter what equipment I had, *I* was still in charge of creating my own “workout plan”.

What I didn’t realize though is that I wasn’t QUALIFIED to do that.

It seems like it should be something that SHOULD be easy to do – right?

Just get a book like the encyclopedia of bodybuilding, and pick some exercises that focus on the upper body, then pick some that focus on the lower body, and then maybe some that focus on the core, and boom – you’re set, right?

Well, not exactly.

See, as human beings, what we tend to do is if we’re given a LARGE list of possible THINGS that we could do towards achieving a certain result, and we are given the task of CHOOSING a small set of things from that larger list, more often than not we will pick things that are either easy for us to do or that we are already proficient in doing.

Continuing on with my strength training example, given the choice of over 300+ different strength training exercises I could do, when I would put together a strength training plan for myself I would choose 10-20 exercises that were either EASY for me to do or that I was good at doing.

For example, I’ve always enjoyed doing bench press, so that always ended up on my short list of 10-20 exercises I would do, but something like PLANK would never make the list.

Why?  Because as anyone who has done PLANK will tell you – it sucks!

It’s not an easy / comfortable exercise to do, especially if you’re out of shape and doing it doesn’t make you feel strong and powerful like bench press does. 🙂

So what I’m basically saying is that for 20 years, when I’d try to start a strength training program, it would already pretty much be doomed before I even started because *I* wasn’t qualified to know how to choose the RIGHT things to do in order to strengthen MY BODY.

Now, contrast that with my recent decision to hire a personal trainer from Ivanco Fitness and we’ve got a totally different situation.

Before even putting together a program, I went through a body assessment process with my personal trainer and we identified my goals as well as doing a proper assessment of my strengths and weak areas in my body.

Then a qualified personal trainer put together an exercise program for me which told me exactly what the RIGHT exercises are for me to do.

So now I’m actually following a plan which shows me the RIGHT things to do.

It’s the exact same thing with something like building a blogging business online.

Most bloggers get overwhelmed with about a billion different things they could do as a blogger, but very few know exactly which RIGHT things to do in order to start making money with their blogs.

This is why you need a blogging mentor.

Otherwise you’ll just waste years struggling and accomplishing nothing like I did with my 20 years of “Do it yourself strength training”.

If you’ve never made money blogging you are NOT QUALIFIED to mentor yourself to make money blogging.

Sure you can waste your time trying to figure it all out via trial and error, but why would you want to?

It’s so much easier to just join my team with Empower Network and learn from the best of the best!

Now, let’s look at the next part of the formula.

#2 – Do the Right Things, CORRECTLY

The next part of the formula takes things to the next level.

See even if you know what the RIGHT things are that you need to do in order to succeed, you can still do the right things INCORRECTLY and fail.

This is why you need to also be taught how to do the right things CORRECTLY!

With my strength training example, when I work with my personal trainer, he doesn’t just tell me what the right things are for me to do, he also makes sure that I’m doing them CORRECTLY.

Meaning, my personal trainer watches my form, posture and body mechanics to make sure I’m doing the right exercises CORRECTLY as well.

He makes sure I know HOW to do the exercises, which muscles groups to engage throughout the movement and keeps an eye out to make sure I’m doing them correctly.

Again, it’s the same thing with making money online with a business like blogging.

Even if you know WHAT to do, but you’re not doing it CORRECTLY, you will still fail to produce the right results.

This is why it’s so important to have a blogging coach / mentor, who can not only teach you what are the right things that you must be doing every day, but also who can watch to make sure that you’re doing those things correctly.

Once again you could spend the next few years trying to do it with the “trial and error” method, and perhaps you MIGHT figure out how to do the right things correctly, but why waste that time?

And what if you never figure it out?

Why take that chance and waste that time?

It’s so much easier to just join my team with Empower Network and learn from the best of the best!

Now, let’s look at the next part of the formula.

#3 – Do the Right Things, Correctly, LONG ENOUGH

The next part of the formula states that it’s not good enough to just do the right things correctly…

… we must also do those things LONG ENOUGH to produce results.

Meaning, just because I do the right strength training exercises, and just because I do them correctly ONE TIME, doesn’t mean that I’m going to wake up the next morning having achieved my strength training goals.

In order to reach our goals we must be willing to persevere and do things LONG ENOUGH to produce the results we want.

Again, this is where having a coach / mentor can really pay off, because they can help us to stay the course, to maintain the right attitude and have the mental toughness to keep going especially when we feel like giving up.

Most people fail because they gave up just two feet away from gold, and usually because they didn’t BELIEVE that what they were doing is going to work anyways.

When you work with a coach / mentor, and you know that you’re doing the right things correctly, and they can keep your mindset focused on your goals, it’s so much easier to stick to things long enough to produce results because at least you know you’re doing the right things correctly!

If you’re not working with a coach, and you’re just trying to do the “trial and error” approach, it’s so hard to stick with things long term because you don’t know if you’re even doing the right things, let alone if you’re doing them correctly!

When it comes to building a successful blog, I’ve seen so many people give up on their blogging dreams after just a few weeks or months because they didn’t truly believe that what they were doing was going to produce results.

If you want to build a successful blog, don’t put yourself through that pain and torture.

Instead just join my team with Empower Network and learn what to do from a proven system that’s guaranteed to work!

Now, let’s look at the next part of the formula.

#4 – Do the Right Things, Correctly, Long Enough, CONSISTENTLY and you’ll achieve results.

The next part of the formula states that once again it’s not good enough to do the right things, correctly and for a long enough period of time — we must also do those things CONSISTENTLY!

For example, if I did my strength training program that my personal trainer put together for me, and I did it correctly, and I did that program for 5 years, but I only did strength training once a month or once every 3-4 months, that would STILL not produce the results I want.

In order to achieve the results I want, I also have to do my strength training CONSISTENTLY.

In other words I have to follow a schedule which will optimize the results I get from my program in the shortest period of time, while still allowing me to live my life and to have enough rest time in between for my body to recover.

This is the final piece in the formula.

If I DO the RIGHT things, CORRECTLY, LONG ENOUGH, CONSISTENTLY I will produce results.

If I DO the RIGHT strength training exercises, CORRECTLY with proper form / posture / and activating the right muscles, LONG ENOUGH for my body to transform, CONSISTENTLY enough based on a weekly schedule, I WILL produce results.

It’s virtually impossible NOT to produce results if I’m following this formula.

Again, it’s the same thing with Blogging and making money online.

If you DO the RIGHT things, CORRECTLY, LONG ENOUGH, CONSISTENTLY, you WILL produce results as a Blogger.

If you’d like to learn what those things are, and how to do them correctly and consistently, check out this video of a proven system that has already produced more than a dozen multi-millionaire bloggers.

I warn you though, their results are not typical.  They’ve achieved results that go far beyond what the average blogger achieves with their blog, but every single one of them has followed the simple formula I described in this blog post.
