On becoming a “Thought Leader”

You cannot be a thought leader if the words you use to express yourself sound like what everyone else is saying on the subject. In the beginning “they” think you are crazy, until everyone else catches up with your pioneering thoughts -  then “they” call you a “Thought Leader”. — Melody Campbell, Inspiration Coach

Silence Fear and other Anxiety Disorder Symptoms

Fear and other strong emotions that come with it are very powerful and not to be ignored. In fact you must REFUSE to allow yourself to be afraid.

The good news is that fear begins with and can be controled by thought. You and you alone are in charge of what you think.

From Dr. Don Colbert’s book Deadly Emotions: Understand the Mind-Body-Spirit Connection That Can Heal or Destroy You it reads,

“As in the case with all intense, toxic emotions, a chemical response occurs in the brain when a person experiences severe fear. This chemical activity excites these vital brain centers in particular - (the area of the brain that controls memory and helps the brain learn and retain information)……Fear and anxiety seem to occure on the same general spectrum. Fear is a concentrated, short term bout of anxiety. It’s the acute immediate “anxious” response.

…Some fears occur repeatedly in the same environment; in other words, certain experiences or circumstances always seem to trigger fear in a person. In these cases, the fear is called a phobia…Part of the definitiobn of a phobia is that it is a crippling fear. It keeps a person from moving about in society in a normal manner.

…When a person has a sudden attack of fear, the body responds with an intense and acute stress response; adrenaline flows into the bloodstream and immediately signals the body to go onb it’s highest level of alert to fight or flee. (When) the stress response does not shut down…hormones continue to pour into the body (causing) the cardiovascular or immune system to suffer damage.”

Realize that continuing to listen to reports of bad news can fuel the fear that paralyzes - both mentally and physically!

Watch and listen to Dr. Joe Dispenza describe “emotional addition.”
 

Stepping out of ones comfort zone to do something different or better during this time of reported “doom and gloom” can be frightening or stressful. Read what Napoleon Hill wrote about fear:

“Fear of poverty (or recession/depression) is a state of mind, nothing else! (He also says “a state of mind is something that one assumes. It cannot be purchased. It must be created.) Fear is sufficient to destroy one’s chances of achievement in any undertaking, a truth which becomes painfully evident during any time of economic difficulty and uncertainty. Fear of poverty (or recession/depression) paralyzes the faculty of reason, destroys the faculty of imagination, kills self reliance, undermines enthusiasm, discourages initiative, leads to uncertainty of purpose, encourages procrastination, wipes out enthusiasm, and makes self control impossible. Fear takes the charm from one’s personality, destroys the possibility of accurate thinking, diverts concentration of effort, kills persistance, turns willpower into nothingness, destroys ambition, beclouds memory, and invites failure in every conceivable form. It kills love and assassinates the finer emotions of the heart, discourages friendship, invites disaster in a hundred forms, leads to sleeplessness, misery and happiness and all this despite the obvious truth that we live in a world of over-abundance of everything the heart could desire, with nothing standing between us and our desires except lack of a definite purpose and the plans that derive from it.”

It’s so important to stand guard over what goes into and what goes on inside your mind.

You may be reading this and saying “not my problem,” but because of the environment of our economy right now you will be working with, doing business with, etc. other people that are overcome by fear.

It’s important to understand what happens to ourselves and others in this state of fear. Let’s set ourselves free from fear, let’s do our part to release others from fear.

Life Success Coaching Model Performs Miracles!

We live in an age where we are bombarded with  too much of EVERYTHING; mostly we are hit with too much information. Now the information we are hearing that there is a recession, we are in a supposed economic crisis and doomed to a life of barely survival. In light of all this information overload, telling us that we are doomed and that it will be getting worse - if we achieve anything at all - it is a miracle!

I’ve been listening to John Maxwell on “Developing the Leader within You.” One of the examples he uses describing how leaders become inaffective is the lion and the lion tamer.

The power that the lion tamer has over the lion is confusion and irritation. The reason that the lion tamer holds up a stool in the face of the lion is not because the lion has any fear of the stool - but rather because the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the stool as four separate things. The four legs of the stool confuse the animal until he’s paralyzed (rendered inaffective) with confusion and cannot attak the trainer. All the while the trainer snaps the whip in the face of the lion as a continued source of irritation - thus making the confusion and the paralysis worse.

You - Me - We are are powerful beyond measure, made in the likeness of the creator. It’s amazing how a little bit of powerless confusion can put an amazingly powerful beast into a state of paralyzed confusion. We live a life of quiet desparation, tolerating irritations and “too many things on my plate.” With no burning desire to act as a compass for all the environments of our life we creep through life in paralyzed confusion without realizing our amazing power.

With the confusion removed we are creative, abundant and productive - living in an abundant, fruitful universe.

One of the most powerful things we can do to not participate in this fear filled prophecy of recession is to put every area of our lives in order and remove sources of chronic irritation.

As a Life Success Coach I start by asking questions and having my clients look at the different areas of their life and making a list of the irritations that they are tolerating.

I guide my clients to start with the small irritations and eliminate them.

Does the dust on the furniture bother you? Then dust! Don’t keep walking about being irritated. How about the dishes in the sink? Don’t go to bed until you kitchen sparkles. When you wake up you will be refreshed to see a clear and clean kitchen.

How about this? I just bought a new computer. I didn’t realize until I had it for three months that my cd/dvd drive was not working. I put off dealing with it because I didn’t want to be without my computer if I had to send it back. I REALLY needed to install some software. I tried to make do for another two months. The missing software was starting to seriously affect my productivity.

Finally, taking my own advice, I saw that this was a simple irritation that I was not taking action on. I discovered that I had a feature on my computer that would allow me to chat with Dell’s online tech support. I logged on and described my problem. In less than 15 minutes I had a fully functional disk drive and was installing the software that I had been working without for now a total of 5 months!!

What are you tolerating personally or professionally that when solved could catapult you forward towards the success you’re chasing? Let me invite you to a complimentary session where we can discuss the possibility of unlocking your fully powerful potential. Together we’ll redefine your focus and bring the power back online in your life.

REFUSE to participate in the so called recession. Put the “lion tamer” out of the cage - I can hear you ROAR!

Unlock Your Hidden and Rich Potential

If you are to succeed or achieve anything in this life you must first understand how your mind works.

It is important, as you seek to unlock your potential, that you realize how powerful your thoughts are.

King Solomon’s Proverb says, “As a Man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Napoleon Hill said it like this, “Thoughts are things.”

Andrew Carnagie said, “Any idea that is held in the mind, that is either feared or revered, will begin at once to clothe itself in the most convenient and appropriate physical forms available.”

Everything in this world is a result of a thought. Every thing, every action, every result - came out of someone’s thoughts. When you begin to think on the enormity of this thought it might make one feel guarded for a moment. To understand that the thought you are thinking at this very moment has the power to profoundly affect the rest of your life and the lives of the people around you.

The world that we live in operates by very predictable laws. The Law of Gravity is an example that you can probably relate to easily. Gravity is a law applied to everyone in the world - with no respect to color or creed, race or religion.

In the same way the laws that govern our thoughts are as sure as gravity. Science tells us that our thoughts are energy. Energy is manifested in varying degrees of vibration. Our thoughts are vibrations that emanate from our beings and affect other humans and the material world.

Since the 1940’s science has used the EEG (electroencephalograph) to read the electrical activity of the brain; and the ECG (electrocardiograph) to trace the electrical changes which occur from heart contractions. These machines demonstrate and reveal that we do indeed vibrate.

Have you ever come into the presence of someone with a negative attitude and made the comment, “That person really gave me the creeps. He or she had bad “vibes”. ” Intuitively we on some level read the vibrations of the people around us. And, we constantly broadcast our own “vibes” to the world, all of nature, matter, and other human beings.

The vibration of our thoughts is either in harmony with the world around us or the vibrations repels the world around us. Vibrations in a similar frequency unite and become stronger - Vibrations that are moving at different frequency will neutralize or cancel each other out.

If every thing, every thought, action and result in our life is the result of our thoughts, the understanding of how this is possible by understanding that every thought we think - all day and night - is a vibratory frequency that is broadcasting continuously to the world around us.

It is extremely important that we really understand this Law of Vibration to gain a better awareness of how you can take control over your results. From this understand it takes us to the next law which is the Law of Attraction.

The Law of Attraction operates because of the Law of Vibration. Negative thoughts are a low vibration; and positive thoughts are a high vibration. When you are in a negative state of mind you can only harmonize with other negative vibrations; and when you are in a positive mindset, you can only resonate with positive vibrations. Thus you attract what you present state of mind is vibrating.

To compound the power of this is our memory. In an instant we can recall a story from our past and replay the entire thoughts of a particular situation and put ourselves right back in the very same state of vibration as when the story happened originally.

Your thoughts are the one thing that you CAN control. Yes, you can.

I will post again on this concept of vibration and attraction in relation to the nine environments of You. An exciting revelation will begin to unveil itself as you begin to play “thought police” and watch everything that goes in or comes out of your mouth, mind, and consciousness.

Will you take the key and unlock your hidden and rich potential?

Coach on a Mission - I want to Coach 100 people in 100 days - No Charge to You!

Photo by Benimoto

Wow! I am loving my life after my career change! You might remember that I was previously a promotional products distributor - until early last year when I decided it was time to finally do what I love. It is and has been a beautiful thing to put my energy into coaching. My coaching practice is still growing and I’m inviting you to join me in this exciting adventure.

This week I learned of a Coach who works with the University of North Carolina Alumni who opened up to UNC Alumni - a group of 70,000 - a complimentary coaching session. Coach Linda Conklin was astounded at the response. Coach Linda has provided 220 complimentary coaching sessions in just 51 days! (http://www.coachblog.com/?p=90).

Coach Linda shared that the experience was not only revealing to her as a coach, but to her clients who were not aware that the university offered coaching to the alumni, nor were they aware of exactly what coaching offered.

This sparked an idea for me. I would like to offer you or your organization a complimentary coaching session. If you are an employer or manager, I am offering individual coaching sessions with each of your employees. This would be a 50 minute session where we discuss whatever is most important to you. This is your chance to be heard - to have a sounding board. The session is completely f.r.e.e. and is absolutely confidential.

You can schedule you own appointment using my online calendar. The coaching sessions are done on the phone. Arrangements can be made for onsite appointments upon request.

Who should take advantage of this complimentary coaching session?

• If you’re thinking about making a job or career change
• If you’ve already made a job or career change
• If you want to enhance you current job or career
• Employers who want to connect with employees for improving retention or work environment
• Entrepreneurs or Self Employed needing to strategize, grow, stabilize or exit business
• Improve Relationships with co-workers, employees, boss, family, spouse, friends
• Parent(s) with concerns
• Improve Customer Service
• Discover Customer Needs
• Many organizations offer training -  Training inspires and motivates, but the real change is rarely more than minor and temporary. Coaching takes training to the next level by setting incremental goals for the trainee to move towards mastery.

What does a Coach provide?

• A Coach helps to define a “winnable” game - “what would this look like if you were winning?”
• A Coach acts as a sounding board helping you discover and define your game plan that leads to a winnable game. Working with a Coach will help you take a large project and break it down in to smaller, manageable and actionable steps. A Coach will see things you might not and become that creative sounding board, asking you the questions that you might not ask yourself. 
• A Coach helps to keep you focused
• A Coach will champion your “Win” and not allow you to crash and burn with “learning experiences”  Coaching expands ones thinking. What have you been conditioned to expect? Could you be expecting or delivering more, bigger, and better? A Coach is trained to champion your greatness and expand your success. Coaching accelerates an individuals personal evolution.
• A Coach helps the client to understand that we should not suffer trying to change the world to meet our thoughts
• A Coach helps to provide a new fresh perspective that may release new energy and productivity
• A Coach helps you eliminate tolerances from your environment. Imagine walking around with a rock in your shoe, for a while it’s annoying but if you tolerate the rock in your shoe for very long it can make you downright miserable. Many people live their whole lives tolerating many things that make them unhappy. Toleration can become an energy drain leaving you with fewer mental, emotional and creative resources to face your day. A good coach will help you identify and remove tolerances and release new power and energy into you life.

What does Melody have to offer?

I have been an entrepreneur all of my adult working life. I have worked alone as well as managed employees. Some of my most recent adventures have included both marriage and divorce, parenting teenagers and caring for a dying parent. I have trained with Bob Proctor (from The Secret) and Paul Martinelli, as well as Coachville (the largest International Coach Training School). All of these experiences and education have shaped me and my work. In growing as a person through these life cycles I was keenly aware that I have the opportunity to posture myself and define my own success. These rich experiences have made me even more aware that one cannot separate one’s personal life from earning a living. Without a doubt the personal life either hinders or enriches our work. My clients and I discover how to bring harmony into their life with a whole life perspective.

Employees find themselves more successful as they serve their employer; and employers gain new appreciation for the employee as a whole person not just who they are at work. The entrepreneur finds that living harmoniously as a whole person gives new energy to their passion for work.

My clients and I learn to experience life as “serious play” rather than “resented and tolerated work.” The whole life approach allows for a peace that does not emerge when life is compartmentalized.

If any of this resonates with you, You are invited to join me in a complimentary coaching session to explore the possibility of a Whole Life.  You can schedule you own appointment using my online calendar.

Heard in the Universe!

Guess what?!!!

I had a conversation with a representative of Bob Proctor’s Life Success Coaching System yesterday. I am preparing to start training with Bob Proctor and Paul Martinelli to teach Bob’s material.

The story get’s better from here.

I am now in training with Bob Proctor and Paul Martinelli in the LifeSuccess Consultant Program.

My training begins now with master mind groups, DVD’s, conference calls, lots of reading and finally I will be at the Ritz Carlton in Florida in October for one week of intensive training.

I can be reached for speaking and training your organization with any of Bob Proctor’s courses:

• Science of success
• Goal Achiever
• Born Rich
• Mission in Commission
• Your Winner’s Image

To kick this off I am putting together master mind groups on Napoleon Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich.” If you’re ready to use the power of thoughts, ideas and organizezed plans to not only accumulate the wealth you desire - but also receive every thing else you desire - lasting friendships, harmonious family relationships, sympathy and understanding between business associates, and inner harmoney and peace of mind - email me for information on one of my master mind groups.

This master mind group will be done with emailed lessons and privately recorded teleconferences.

The really wonderful thing is that this first master mind groups is FREE - It’s my gift to you!  The downside is that I only have room for 12 people in the group. Once it fills up we’ll start and once it fills up I don’t know how soon I am going to start another one.

Email me if you want me to reserve your spot.

So how’s that for the Laws of Attraction!?  Oh, and I’m interviewing Paul Martinelli (Bob Proctor’s partner) on one of my podcasts.
