It was an easy answer, it’s this one:

http://www.escapethematrix.net/blog/how-to-use-the-secret/224/

The sad part is, I can’t take much credit for it, I just found a great video by the makers of “The Secret” and posted it to my blog. But every time I watch it it gets me right there.

I try to watch it as often as I can, there’s nothing quite like it for getting me mentally and spiritually focused. See what you think. Maybe it can help you get in your “happy place” too ;-)

In the teen breakout, one of the kids asked him about making money. His response was fantastic.

I basically said, “Never chase money. Make money chase you.” Wow! A whole sermon in a single sentence. But think about that. Most people are chasing money. Few develop their skills, work hard, and are thought leaders in their industry to the point that money would chase them.

What a great challenge!

Adam Smith and why you should stop making needles. http://www.escapethematrix.net/blog/karl-marx-vs-adam-smith/710/ http://www.escapethematrix.net/blog/karl-marx-vs-adam-smith/710/#comments Fri, 05 Mar 2010 05:27:22 +0000 Dave Sherwin http://www.escapethematrix.net/blog/?p=710 Thought I’d share a little online network marketing mojo from my other site where I’m in the process of building a six figure income from home in 30 minutes a day. Sounds tough, I know, but why not? It’s fun. And it’s working!

Anyway, here’s the video of day 25 of my challenge, enjoy!

Somebody gave me a cassette tape (remember those?!) with it and I listened to it over and over again. Time passed, and I lost the tape, but recently Dan Putnam posted the speech on his blog, and pointed out how important it was on his path to financial success.

I just watched it again, with my 17 year old son watching over my shoulder, and when it was done he said, “That’s amazing.” (And he’s the type that hates it when I turn on personal development stuff in the car ;-)

If you’ve never seen it before, it’s raw, it’s Georgia “down home,” and it really is amazing:

Got Money Worries?

A little birdie just came my way and
mentioned a deep, soulful desire of yours.
Heavens no, not that one!
She said that you’d be eternally grateful if, once and for all,
you never, ever had to worry about money again.
Well, I couldn’t resist.
Wish granted!
You never, ever have to worry about money again.
Anything else? Anything at all?

-The Universe.

Aren’t you THRILLED to know that you never have to worry about money again?! Man- the amazing stuff you pick up on my blog. I really should charge for this stuff

Cheers, Dave

Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are both amazing books.
In this black and white movie, Gary Cooper plays the architect Howard Roark and delivers his courtroom defense of why he dynamited the Cortland project.

If you want the whole story, read the Fountainhead- but for a small taste of the independent philosophy behind Ms. Rand, check this out:

Nothing like a little independent thinking to clear the air in this new era of socialism, entitlement, and government control! Long live Howard Roark!

The whole conversation takes a very interesting turn towards the end.

I am a huge Will Smith fan, and some of the secrets of his success are right
