Do you have any daily rituals you derive power from? There are so many different ways millionaires make themselves feel good at the end of the day, and these rituals are often something they’ve done most of their lives.
Take Teri Hawkins, for example. Teri is a motivational speaker and bestselling author based in the USA. She was paralyzed in a car accident as a teenager and told she would never walk again. Yet she defied doctors’ predictions and became a world-class athlete and millionaire by age 30.
Every night, Teri’s ritual is to forgive everyone for all the small wrongs that day. She even forgives herself for the things she did wrong. This ritual takes her 15 minutes a day, and provides her with the energy she needs to get a good night’s sleep and be able to get up refreshed the next morning.
“I just let go of the little things,” Teri says. I just forgive myself. I forgive my brother for this, my mother for that, the stranger for that. I just do that for 15 minutes. That’s all.”
Forgiveness is not just about letting someone else move on. It’s about letting yourself move past the things that hurt you. Some days can seem like everything in the world is wrong. Instead of feeling like you’ve run your head up against a wall, sit down and start forgiving.
You’ll be amazed at what you can do the next day once you’ve moved past all the wrongs you suffered. Once you get into the habit of forgiving the world every single night, you will find yourself reaching your potential and soaring far beyond.

Ever wonder how the big named conglomerates get their brand?
Ever wonder how the Fortune 500’s got their success?
Think that you could never work with Disney, General Motors, or Wolfgang Puck?
Think again…
My good friend and colleague Kim Castle, co-creator of BrandU has not only worked with these guys, but they were her clients.
While Kim is known for helping thousands of clients and entrepreneurs around the world translate their business ideas into marketable money-making brands, as well as working with the “big Kahunas” —she’s got some pretty amazing information to share that I think will shock you.
Don’t worry you’ll be pleasantly shocked.
You may already know BrandU and you may have witnessed the insane growth of BrandU right before your eyes. Their business skyrocketed within only a few short years and their revenues continue to grow.
You might assume it’s because they have worked with huge named companies like IBM, m&m’s and Domino’s Pizza.
But actually it has nothing to do the roster of influential big brands. It’s something else, and guess what? It’s not such a mystery.
But it is a secret that Kim has been holding in her back pocket… until now…

2008 Was The Year of The Rat … On To 2009
They don’t call 2008 “The Year of the Rat” for nothing. Although some small businesses will emerge from 2008 relatively unscathed by the financial turmoil, it is likely that most will be affected negatively as we move ahead into a recessionary economy and the perils of uncertainty in the global economy. This period is likely to last at least 1-2 more years and could go longer. Although new and great challenges are always coupled with new opportunities, my feeling is that the best small business strategy moving ahead is to cut your expenses as much as possible, assume the recession could last for several years and seek stability more than growth unless you can grow the business very inexpensively. Rather than borrowing to grow, consider options where you can effectively monetize your own time and experience towards the longer term goals rather than take on more business development expenses (and thus usually more debt) as one tends to do in a normal business environment. Following are a few examples:

Will you act during the economic downturn, or simply REACT?
Don’t let fear of the recession guide your goal setting
plans for 2009. This is a BIG mistake…!
Fear is an emotional response, only good for short-term
survival.
When you’re in “fight or flight” mode, you’re not thinking
clearly about the path you’re running… You’re just RUNNING!
So your efforts lack strategy, planning, and insight.
I want you to do more than just survive 2009.
Internet shopping is predicted to hit $145.1 Billion in
the coming year, a significant 14% increase — despite the
recession!
Consumers will be spending more time at home, using their
computers for everything from bargain hunting and product
research to upgrading skills.
Studies show this shift is ALREADY well underway…!
I don’t want the Big “R” to stop you from pursuing exciting
personal, financial, and business goals in 2009, so I’ve
arranged to get you exclusive VIP access to an important
video that Internet marketing guru Derek Gehl just put up
on his site.
Derek’s been successfully selling on the Internet for over
a decade now, and he’s brought in over $100 MILLION in sales…
… so he’s by far the BEST person to advise you about how
to thrive in ANY market.
When you watch his FREE Goal Setting Video, you’ll discover
how you can make 2009 your richest year yet:
