		<description>Ah well now,.. another one caught with his pants down. But  wait !..could this be another smoke screen to discredit a man, (Spitzer), that has been trying to sue the  corporate minds behind the mortgage fiasco ? 
 What better way to get him off their backs by digging for the dirt and  look how great that  has worked !  Money talks and heads will roll if you try to tell the truth and buck the system.
Just goes to show the biased, paid off, media can skew things to fit their agenda.
Check this out people.</description>

		<description>Hey Rich

Thanks for those words of insight. I'm a newbie to internet marketing but I've done a fair amount research so far. This post was really encouraging. I have always believed that the key to success lies within. I'm definitely motivated to keep moving forward with my business and get it to where I need it to be.

If anyone else has any great ideas and words of wisdom, I'm all hears!

Thanks</description>

		<description>Smelling good also changes confidence levels!
(and your income and your relationships)

Highly suggest 'jitterbug perfume' from tom robbins.
but that is another story.

&lt;strong&gt;Visualization&lt;/strong&gt; first came into my life years ago, and has brought me many 'things' and magical moments alike.  Some things to remember about this:

.everything we do begins somewhere sometime in our mind, with the vision of doing it, regardless of if we visualize intentionally or unconsciously.
.our brains release the same chemicals and fire the same neurons during visualizations, dreams, and imaginations as they do during the 'real' experience.  therefor visualization puts us in the habit of activating the parts of our brains which are associated with the actions required to make things happen.

I've attained cars, money, skills, etc. etc. with the power of visualization.  The science of why it works makes perfect sense, and proof is in pudding.

Notes about the color selection:  pay close attention to the compliments you get from others when you're wearing this or that colored shirt.  feedback.  also, i know that i am more confident in certain parts of my wardrobe, and i know it has to do with both the color and the style.

It is interesting to see the governor topic turned into a color scheme topic turned into a hypnosis and visualization topic.  very creative Rich, applying your own maven lessons in your publishings.  teaching by example.  kudos.

&lt;strong&gt;Visualizing in the Gulf of Mexico&lt;/strong&gt;
With my mind focused fully on being the guy behind the largest barter network in the world ever i dove into the waves, each crest over my head being another oath and contract with myself that with time and hard work i would attain.  Since that day i have progressed quite well with the development of the system for that barter network, far surpassing my competition in many ways.  One thing though, now that the foundation is in place, the marketing is in need of some visualization and action.  &lt;i&gt;That is what i get from todays post, Rich, is that it's high time to jump into some waves again, with the visualization of rapid growth.  thank you.&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;Oh yes, and there is the third eye&lt;/strong&gt;
Regardless of the third eye being 'real' or not, it has proven itself repeatedly to me to be a mega-amplifier to the power of visualizations.  maybe it's because when using the third eye technique, all other thoughts and distractions loose their power.  I don't know why this is so, but it is so.  Try it out and you'll probably see right away what i mean.  Trance yourself out a bit with some breathing meditations or whatever you do to prep yourself for inner work, then visualize your desired state of being or doing and bring that vision to the spot between your eyes just in front of your forehead.  The results are pudding.

&lt;b&gt;Rich,&lt;/b&gt; I have much respect for you and your knowledge and insights and abilities.  You do a lot of good for a lot of people, myself included.  Many Thanks..  so Rich, here's a  &lt;b&gt;Open Window..&lt;/b&gt; - If you'd consider helping to bring Barterfest into it's fullest potential (huge and rapidly growing market) we would consider some generous profit sharing.  know what i mean?  let me know if you're curious/interested.

Blessings to all.

		<description>Excellent post, Rich.

Most of what I would say has already been said.  So to avoid redundancy, here are just a couple of observations:

(1) Want to learn about COLOR?  I was analyzed by the premier business color analyst in Atlanta around 1981 - Carole Jackson. Don't spend a fortune - Get her book on Amazon:  "Color Me Beautiful."  You will discover a full spectrum of colors that are right for you - and which to avoid like the plague.

(2) Focus and visualization are key, indeed. Yes, "As a man thinketh in his heart..." So consider what gets down into your heart and spirit.  

It's those things to which you expose yourself.  We are instructed to guard our eye gate and ear gate - what you read, the images that get imprinted on your brain, what you hear (music, lyrics, cursing, blessing?)... 

You know, the pretty woman whose picture you keep seeing or that incredible sunset.  

How about the tune that pops up in your head as you are driving down the road?

Doesn't that also tie in with surrounding yourself with positive, encouraging people, not the toxic ones?

The Word of God instructs us to meditate on those things which are beautiful, pure, good... Meditate on those things toward which you would have your life gravitate... Which ties in with your highest goals and aspirations.  (Look upward, not down. See the half full and rising glass with an attitude of gratitude, not grumbling at the half empty one.)

SEE those things that you would achieve ... Be specific, such as visualizing the very motions as you shoot a perfect basket and follow through, how it feels ... and believe that you receive, that you achieve.

POWERFUL!

The checklist you gave, Rich?  That's powerful, too, and will help me refocus my own life at this critical juncture. 

Thank you!

		<description>Many of these posts include very valid thoughts. 
Along with wearing the correct color to make ourselves shine, folks should send out their writings with correct spelling and grammer. When I read an item which is not well written, it loses value in my eye. 
I learned how to spell and write correctly when I was in grammer school (good place for that!!). My ESL parents made sure that I always handed in school work which contained very very few errors, if any. Perhaps that is why they earned MS andPhD degrees and are successful in the US.
And even if you do not type well and make mistakes, you can reread what you have written and correct it. 
Thank you to everyone who contributes to Rich's pages and blogs, I do learn a lot of information from you.</description>
