What Makes a Social Business “Social?”

Posted: 28 Oct 2011 08:43 AM PDT

Jacob Morgan what makes a social business “social?” and what does a non “social” business look like?   @Britopian | October 23, 2011 Jacob, Thanks for the great question. My short, quick answer is that social business is “social” in the sense that it (a) enhances modes of collaboration that already exist in an organization [...]

Have you been watching the news lately?
As you listen to people across America and around the World, talk about the increase in unemployment, bankruptcies and foreclosures while their income, savings and investments decrease, one word seems to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue - FEAR.
There is a lot of talk about things “crashing” in this Global Crisis. With the government giving dire warnings, it doesn’t sound like a very vibrant economy, does it?
Do YOU believe everything that you hear and read?
Maybe the crisis is worse than the news indicates. Or, maybe it isn’t nearly as bad as they say. Whether the news is right or not, the real question is:

What are you going to do about it? The emphasis is on "YOU!"
Depending on what's "between your ears - your BRAIN," it's is either a horrible time to be in sales or business, or it's a great time. The bottom line is - whether it is horrible or great is...ULTIMATELY up to you, not the news.
In every crisis, there is OPPORTUNITY waiting to be born. Despite the negative news, the world isn’t going to stop spinning. The sun is going to rise in the East tomorrow, and another day "will" unfold.
Each day is a blank slate..."a spring board of opportunity or a crisis." Which will it be for you?

Each morning, you have a choice!
Are you going to be controlled by circumstances that you don’t like, or are you going to make your own circumstance happen? It's easy to become paralyzed with fear, if you are not FOCUSED.
Fear isn't something that is planted in the ground. It isn't in the water we drink, or in the air we breathe - "it is in one's MIND, only. So, the choice is yours; you can either eliminate fearful thoughts, or you can let fear control you. Which will it be?
No matter how bad the ECONOMY may or may not get, people and companies still have "problems that need to be solved." And, lucky for you, they need your HELP solving them "more today" than ever before.
Business is not going to stop. The PROACTIVE professional with "good Feng Shui skill and knowledge," healthy work habits and with "impeccable" business ethics will PROSPER, and those "without" will struggle and fail...in any economy.

Here are some things that you can DO IMMEDIATELY to get your
ENERGY and Business UP!

  • Whether you are employed or unemployed, "increase" your CALL VOLUME; don’t let it drop. Introduce yourself to a minimum of 10 "new" people and re-connect with 5 past clients, associates and/or accounts, 5 days a week - "every" week.
  • In Feng Shui, if your home and office are in BALANCE, you cannot expend ENERGY without "more" energy - "business, blessings and opportunity" - coming back to you. Also, keep in mind that your net worth is a reflection of your "network."
  • TIME MANAGEMENT is key to your success. Are you spending your time worrying about what you can’t control or are you working to develop "new" business, connections and strategies?
  • If you are in "sales," get the MOTIVE. Prospects have a reason for talking with you. Find out what it is. Knowing "motive" is a key element in any sale, even in a good economy. When people are afraid, "understanding" your client's motive is even more important.
  • When you are following up with people, ADD VALUE by giving them something they can use. If you do, they will come to you when they are ready for your product, service and/or to hire you. Don't pester them with endless calls or you'll end up chasing them away.
  • Whether you are self-employed, unemployed, work in a bank or sell real estate...work on your "CLOSING" skills. Learn how to ask the right questions. Dig deeper. Ask more follow up questions..i.e... “How can I provide you with "more" or "better" service in these challenging times?
  • Work on your "LISTENING" skills. Don’t let vague words pass you by. "Soon" is a vague word. Ask the question, “What is soon in your world?” When you hear a vague word, learn to ask a question.
  • Watch your LANGUAGE. Are you using positive or negative words? If negative words, phrases or complaints are creeping into your communication, get rid of them. They will impact you and your business in a negative ways (sha chi).
  • Keep in mind that "we are what we hold in consciousness," so choose your words and thoughts "wisely" so they EMPOWER you and others.
  • STOP the "soap" about the economy being bad; its old news already, anyway.
  • Keep your ATTITUDE - UP. A "positive attitude" is contagious in all areas of your life and career.
  • EXERCISE. Get out and walk, run, jog, stretch, swim, bike, practice yoga or anything else that gets your body moving. Exercise releases endorphins that make you feel GOOD.
  • Don't be your own worst enemy. Stop "blaming" people, lenders, the government, and even Feng Shui for your problems and lack of success. BLAME reflects "victimhood," and being a "victim" creates conflict, struggle, depression, scarcity and "more" fear in your life
  • FOCUS ON THE SOLUTION, not on the problem. If you are not getting the results you need, focus on "what must be done DIFFERENTLY in order to succeed." If you focus on the problem, you’ll only get more problems back. Focus on the solution and you’ll find the answer.
  • Come from ABUNDANCE and create a WIN. If you own your own business or company and "believe" your product and/or service is "valuable" and "beneficial" in this economy, then consider "reducing" your pricing, so that you can "help" those you SERVE...get ahead.
  • SPACE CLEAR your desk at the end of each day, and your office at the end of each week. Monitoring your business Feng Shui will allow doors to open, opportunity to find you and ABUNDANCE to bless you.
  • Write down 3 things you are GRATEFUL for and make sure to BLESS your customers,' clients,' (or soon to be - new employer) at the end of each day.
How the current economic situation plays out for you, and your business, is up to you. The government is not going to solve your problems. In every crisis, there will be people who fall by the wayside, and there will be people who PROSPER. The only thing that matters is:
Which kind of professional or person will you be?

If your goal is to INCREASE your Client Data Base, IMPROVE your Time Management, EXPLODE your Sales and Income while enjoying "more" free time like our clients below, it's time for you to WORK SMART - NOT HARD in business.

They are offering specific action steps you can take to express your deep care and concern for the crises we face. We all want to stop world hunger, solve our climate crisis, prevent animal cruelty, eat in ways that are healthy and nourishing to our bodies and see peace flourish around the world. But, we haven’t been taught what we can do - beyond recycling and using compact fluorescent light bulbs. And we certainly have had very little support, tools and community to help us act on what we do know. That’s what this course offers. If you’re hungry for the truth - and want to know specific steps you can take to create a world that works for all - then you’ll want to join this 7-week telecourse. It will help you align your values with your actions, align your personal health with your social impact, and align your service with your joy. You’ll discover those leverage places where the same choices that build a world of justice, liberation and peace can also help you to be happier, healthier, and more passionately ALIVE. This course promises to support your health, uphold your spirit and help you to fulfill your true nature and reason for being born. http://su.pr/1oJUr5 In the last 20 years, we’ve spoken to more than 600,000 people in person and have reached many millions more through our books and articles. Everywhere we go, we find people who know something is wrong with the status quo. People are sick of being sick, they’re weary of dysfunctional relationships, they’re fed up with watching the destruction of people and the planet, and they’re frightened by the breakdown of our economy. We need to know what we can do, we need to know the steps we can take, and we need to have the tools and community support to help us act on what we know. Fortunately, the path of liberation isn’t just altruistic, it’s also fulfilling. When we bring our lives into greater congruency with our values, we start to feel better, and we build positive feedback loops. Greater health, self respect, and contribution aren’t just concepts. They are real; they are attainable; and there are practical things we can all do to get there. If you want to take a stand for your own health and wellness, then please join us.

Make the Shift Real at Every Level of Your Life with Two of Today?s Most Celebrated Change Leaders

Be part of an historic event with 14 evolutionary leaders coming together around a shared vision for global change. Learn how YOU can play a part in this inspiring movement. Do you want to become a more effective, joyful and passionate catalyst for real change and give your greatest gifts to the Shift in our world? Then, you’ll want to join us and the 37,000 other global change agents who have signified their commitment to evolving humanity into the next era through Birth 2012! As we find ourselves in a time of great changes, many people are faced with uncertainty and fear, which is only exacerbated by the media frenzy of doom and gloom scenarios, an escalation of natural and man-made disasters and so called “preachers” claiming the apocalypse is rapidly approaching. Barbara Marx Hubbard -- visionary, social pioneer and author -- has put forth a more hopeful vision that centers on the year 2012. In this vision, she declares that the fears around a prophetic “end” date are actually a "birth" date - a symbolic marker of the movement into a new era of human evolution. Seen through this lens, we can celebrate what is already shifting toward sustainability, peace and innovative solutions in every field. Barbara calls this vision Birth 2012: a growing movement of worldwide citizens who are committed to linking hearts and minds with others and consciously co-creating the next stage of our evolution. The movement is envisioning a global Birth Day celebration on December 22, 2012 to cap a year of programs and initiatives that will help us make a positive evolutionary shift. Barbara has set this day as a "due date" -- a vital evolutionary signal -- for all of us to wake up, synergize among ourselves, celebrate what is working and ignite a new way of being. Many respected thought leaders have joined Barbara in this powerful vision. The Welcoming Committee of 12 leaders from different sectors will model how we can have cooperative, synergistic leadership of many movements in service to us all giving our greatest gifts to help make humanity Shift in time. This first event of the Welcoming Committee represents an unprecedented gathering of leaders. You’ll learn: * How new social networks and models are coming together like a planetary nervous system, helping to create a global renaissance and move us to the next level * The role you can play in shifting the consciousness of our world and how you can be involved in movements for peace, sustainability and creativity. * The best ways to navigate the challenges and fears of our time. Chances are you, too, sense a rising "impulse of evolution" within, a growing heart’s desire to activate your own creativity and participate in co-creating something truly extraordinary -- a planetary shift towards a new era of human evolution. Yet you may not have the structure, community of support or language to fully awaken your own evolutionary potential and give your greatest gifts. The Birth 2012 movement offers you a vision and powerful next steps to connect and commune with other pioneering souls who want to learn, grow and work together toward this emerging era.

Join this historic event on October 15th and add your passion and energy toward co-creating the next stage of our evolution! http://su.pr/2Ba6CZ

Conscious Change Movements Uniting to Co-Create a Global Shift

Are you truly ready to make the shift from ego to essence - the foundation of being an agent of conscious evolution? If you understand the central importance of this deep inner shift to liberating your consciousness and living your full creative potential, you will want to continue this powerful work that builds upon all you learned in the ACE Training. Barbara has become so enthused about the importance of this work that she will join her sister Patricia Ellsberg as a co-teacher for the full course, giving you more intimate access to both of the sisters’ wisdom, and more of the intimate details of their awakening journey. The Summer Program is for those committed to BEING the change and being an activation point for conscious evolution. It’s designed to help you live as your Essential Self -- the wise, loving, compassionate, powerful and radiant part of you. When you shift your identity from the egoic "local self," which often feels separate, critical and anxious, to your Essential Self, you will access guidance and live with greater grace, confidence, creativity, purpose and joy. You become the Beloved you have been seeking. This process itself can be powerfully transformative and during this special session for ACE graduates, you will be guided to: * Develop a new identity, healing and lifting up your wounded local Self to a higher vibration as it becomes one with your Essence * Live at a higher frequency and become a frequency holder and generator at a new level * Experience a joyful, life-enhancing journey as we travel together on the path to becoming co-creative Universal Humans http://su.pr/1LHtyo Shifting from Ego to Essence is an evolutionary requirement for us to fully give our potential selves into the world. Otherwise, we remain limited by the sufferings of our separated egos. This 9-week expanded training now offers you the opportunity to: * Heal the wounded parts of your ego, your "local selves" as the illusions of separation are dissolved and lifted up into the vibrational field of your Essence * Draw upon your own intuitive inner authority, the aspect that is able to heal, illuminate and guide your whole being * Strengthen your inner masculine and inner feminine. Become both the good mother and the good father to your egoic selves, self-parenting yourself from within and forming a new "inner partnership" of both * Stabilize the feeling of the Beloved being yourself - peaceful, all-knowing and fulfilled * Practice "initiatory love." Transmit this bliss to others as you recognize and help them experience their Essential Selves * Re-pattern your life, replacing overwhelm with ease of effort and creative discovery * Deepen your experience of our co-creative community and gain greater support as you give your gifts to the world as an expression of your Essential Self You don’t need to worry about missing live calls or teaching session. You can get all the teachings and engage the full community and leaders via our private community website

Basic Goal The goal of this is to teach "monetary model" efficiencies and the ability to test profit lines and take corrective action. The present recession has taught us that monetary models of the past have failed and are very unstable. The goal is to change fiscal paradigms and help companies indentify hidden financial dangers which are unseen due to the flow of money. In an effort to unearth the dangers, we also seek to teach the true profit cycle and indentify the strength of its cash models / monetary structures. The focus is not on fiscal forecasting or historical variances but the mastering monetary flow and the resulting exponential profits. (see below for seminar details) Our aim is to connect all aspects of the organisation towards maximium profits. Hold On To Your Money: What are Monetary Models ? - Before any person can dissect monetary flow , it is imperative to understand money models. This seminar will seek to define and construct relevant thinking which enable creative profit lines. Money Model Efficiencies - It is important to understand money models , however vital to master the efficiencies of fund flow and management. The lack of this skill erodes very strong primary monetary models. Testing Profit Lines - Very skilled investors and business owners often "mistake making money" for profit or product lines. Profit lines are the basal monetary foundation which communicate with every department or investment. Learn about true profit lines and how to test their strength or weakness. Business Variables - What are the things which can defend your profit and those that attract losses. The movement from asset mentality into monetary cash flow are essential for correcting business variables. Hidden financial Dangers (Introduction)- Cash solve problems, however also hide bad financial structures. The section will seek to unearth hidden cash flow problem which can shut a business down. Expense Cycle Investments - The difference between good and bad investments are those based on an expense cycle and those that are not. Mastering this concept alone can transform your entire view of business, money and investments. Interest Flow Cycle Investments - Investments using the interest flow cycle method create multiple monetary foundations for a portfolio. It is simple to understand, however very effective at creating short-term and long-term wealth . Sales Flow Cycles Investments - Marketing is the key to cash flow, this section teaches foundational thinking required for sales, investments and their respective linkages. Process Flow Cycle Investments - Understanding the processes which connect your money and investments is vital to success. This technology introduces foundational and advanced strategies for investment processes P2F Investments - This is a fantastic technology which move individuals away from waiting on success and knowing how to generate success in any thing they do. Compounding - This concept is rarely understood or applied, however it is a powerful money "maker" . This techniques is used by every single investor worldwide. Primary Investment Techniques - This is the graduation from foundational information into setting up a progressive portfolio which has one specific purpose - to make you more money. Understanding How Money Works - The understanding of investments and how money affect losses and profit is pivotal for long term income Difference Between Bank Deposit and a Interest Flow Cycle - While this is an advance concept from our business seminars, it is necessary for you to understand that bank deposits are Not a good thing. Developing and "IFC" should be your only priority. Investment Expansion (Portfolio) - How to expand "firstly" your mind and then you investment portfolio. Global Investment - A Global interest flow cycle will lead to many investment portfolios. These entities will produce money instead of just talk! Advanced Investment Structures - We will teach you the creation of processes, money and financial "legs" for any invesment. And Much Much More - This seminar will open your eyes to financial freedom and help plot a course to business wealth and success http://su.pr/17viEQ

Executive Speaker Training

If you have been on a path of transformation but still feel stressed, ungrounded, disconnected, or lacking in love, you've probably never learned the fundamental steps to bring your heart into coherence with your brain and body. That coherence can unleash the heart's transformative power, which reduces your stress, increases your well-being, enhances your performance, and leads you to experience much more positive emotions. The full activation of the heart is essential for those of us who are committed to being a powerful agent of change in the world. If you want people to experience you as a positive, healing presence and feel excited and drawn to work with you, activating your heart's intelligence will have a powerful effect on your life. Your heart can improve your baseline health, the positive emotions you feel, and help you access your deepest wisdom about life. Our goal is to empower you to live in a healthy, fulfilled, and sacred way! You will: •Learn foundational techniques such as Quick Coherence® and Heart Lock-In®, for the intelligence of your heart and increasing coherence at the beginning of the day and whenever you become stressed. •Understand the science behind the heart's intelligence and thus how to better access its full power. •Shift to a baseline of positive emotions such as compassion and appreciation that activate a coherent heart/brain interaction. •Access your heart's intelligence to bring your work and life into greater alignment with your deeper purpose, as well as create more fulfilling relationships. •Learn how to help calm and center others, from your children to people at work, both through practices you can share and the extension of your own heart-field. •Receive information from the frontiers of research showing how we create collective fields that affect the health of whole communities. •Activate your heart's intelligence in relationships, learning to forgive and heal old patterns, which opens you to greater love and appreciation. •Learn how to cultivate intuition and knowledge that come from the heart's awareness of people and situations. •Develop a greater state of appreciation and gratitude, which helps to harmonize situations, deepen relationships, and improve productivity. •Discover easy methods to clear negative emotions and unhappy life experiences. Mystics, social change agents, great leaders, and healers have long known that the heart is an important gateway to wisdom, health, and enhanced well-being. However, they did not have the rigorous understanding that science provides of how to unlock these higher potentials and make them available in a systematic way to everyday people leading busy lives. Over the years, we've honed powerful practices that take just a few minutes each day. These practices help you navigate stress, emotional turbulence, and discordance in your life and find a more harmonious, coherent, positive way of being that simultaneously makes you more desirable to be around and more effective in the world. We've tested these techniques within health care and business, as well as through our large network of customers and supporters.

People with a higher IQ are not just smarter. They're also happier, healthier and wealthier, too -- according to the latest social statistics. So, how can you improve your IQ? For years, it was thought that you were either born with a high IQ - or you weren't. But the very latest in scientific studies has found that IQ is just another "muscle" - which you can build using specific training techniques. Not only that, advanced studies have shown that there also special "shortcuts" to building your mental IQ muscle - in the same way that protein and creatine are shortcuts to building physical muscle. For the first time ever, the leading techniques for rocketing your IQ have all come together - inside a brand new course, called Guaranteed IQ. Like the simple lifestyle change tested on a million people, which boosted IQ scores by an average of 14%. Or the "Image Streaming technique" which boosts your IQ score by one point, for each hour you use it. Discover these methods -- and more: http://su.pr/2mqjZJ You'll be glad you did!

Are you eager to once and for all move beyond limiting beliefs and into your greatest life of love and infinite possibility? Do you want to experience the delicious ALIVENESS that comes from living from your heart and walking your path with ease and grace? We all have access to a reservoir of limitless possibility and vast wisdom. When we tap into this power, the abundance we experience is deeper (and truer) than that which comes from just accumulating material possessions. It satisfies a soul hunger so many of us feel to be fully, truly, authentically ourselves and to live more naturally, even effortlessly. When we are “plugged in,” we are constantly filled and rejuvenated from the INSIDE – and that results in an abundance of loving relationships, meaningful work, success, service and material beauty on the outside. But too many of us have distorted ideals of what it means to be conscious or enlightened, often involving sacrificing and undermining our core human needs to simply give, give and give some more. It’s how most of us have been taught. We haven’t known another way. And yet, we ARE the divine source as well, so if we close down our connection internally and deplete ourselves, we have far less to give. A better, more joyful way is possible! http://su.pr/2iHYub you’ll take leaps in understanding the science and practice of real abundance, learning things such as: •How to master your own bodily energetics to begin to break free of long-held limitations •A more efficient use of your energy, focus and consciousness and how to manifest according to your original divine blueprint •How you can transform the “lack consciousness” within our reality into a higher dimensional version of reality •How to interpret your body’s multidimensional language so you can be more relaxed, aware and fluid throughout your day •Practices for clearing out lower vibrations and patterns and opening up to the higher frequencies •Techniques to release the blocks you carry in your central nervous system, electromagnetic energy field and subconscious memory fields •How to create intentions that really work •How to create a shift to true self-love as the new foundation for your life "I wanted to send you my sincere and overwhelming love and gratitude for the impact you are having in my life. Your work and material that I have been studying for the last 8 weeks has changed me and continues to change me every day as I grow more and more into the higher self that I am meant to be." J.F. Wisconsin "I have tried to meditate in so many ways, with so many different techniques all of the country. I’ve gone to Assisi in Italy and Lourdes in France, tried Wayne Dyer and japa meditation. I moved to Sedona, Arizona and tried everything possible. I could not meditate. But for some reason, the way Dr. Sue did it, that’s when I went into my deepest meditation ever. It was unbelievable. Thank you so much for the experience. It changed my life." Donna C. Arizona "One day I was jumping around YouTube and just happened to see your face on one of the videos and opened it. The video I opened was ’You are the one you have been waiting for.’ Your presence hit me so deeply at a time when I was absolutely ready to just fall down with mental and physical exhaustion and call it quits... You were able to touch my soul... you EXACTLY expressed what I needed to see and hear in the perfect time and in the perfect way." A. United Arab Emirates

Find a Great Seasonal Job Whatever type of seasonal job you are looking for, we can help. Browse seasonal jobs from employers around the country, read our resources to help you prepare for interviews and give yourself the best chance of landing the job you want. Find summer jobs, camp jobs, winter jobs, ski resort jobs, ranch jobs, lifeguard jobs, resort jobs, guide jobs, cruise ship jobs, beach jobs, outdoor jobs, retail jobs, restaurant jobs, internships, and jobs abroad. http://su.pr/1JGF7D Tips for Landing a Seasonal Job With the holidays fast approaching the stress for many is mounting. The December holidays, like most holidays, is not an inexpensive time of year. There are presents to get for people, parties to attend, and vacations to take. The holidays can be a grand expense. For many the only way to combat the rising cost of the season is to get a part-time job. Seasonal employment, regardless of the time of year, can provide relief to many, but it’s not always easy to get. The market is flush with many who need a little relief as well as college students looking to earn cash for their next semester. So it’s important to get every advantage you can when applying for seasonal work. Here are some tips and tricks to landing that much needed seasonal employment. In seasonal employment, it is often that the early bird gets the worm. Being the first to turn in your resume and your application will give you a leg up on everyone else in the field. Most employers looking for short-term help are in a bind and are looking for someone to help them out quickly. Waiting too long can put you at the bottom of a pile of qualified applicants. Making sure you get in early is paramount to finding employment. Employers who are in search of seasonal help are often in need of someone who can work odd hours or perform unusual or unpopular tasks. Most companies have full-time employees that work the nine to five shifts and perform register work or do bookkeeping acitivies. Your application should reflect the fact that you are willing to work late at night or do tasks that consist of more manual labor. Employers will look to applicants who are willing to do the things there full-time employees are not willing to do or simply cannot do. Making yourself available for work beyond the season is a great way to get noticed by a company that is looking to hire. There are a lot of companies that would like the option of hiring on their seasonal staff if there is a need or if the work performance warrants a continued position. Giving a prospective employer that option, without making it a demand, is almost certain to get you in for an interview. Being able to provide long-term assistance will put you ahead of those who only want a couple of months and have no flexibility for further work. Last but not least is experience. As stated earlier, employers are looking for someone who can hit the ground running; letting them know you understand the job will help you land that job over someone who has no prior experience. Having prior experience working a register will help get you a retail job, or having a strong knowledge of computers will help you get a job at the electronics store even if you don’t have retail experience. The name of the game is making yourself valuable. Seasonal work is not always easy to find, but with these helpful hints you’ll have a leg up on the other applicants.

Bringing the Spirit of Shamanism into Your Everyday Life is a unique opportunity for you to receive the guidance and heart-based wisdom of a Mayan-trained priestess and leader in the International Council of the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers. You will learn from the ease of your own home, in a way that feeds your soul, while also empowering the shared work of our collective healing. Join us for this extraordinary offering with Grandmother Flordemayo – one of our most revered elders and modern-day shamans. When you immerse yourself in these healing practices and ancient wisdom, you can help us all address the crises of our modern culture. You can help bring greater harmony, prosperity and sustainability to our families, our communities and to our world. What’s in my heart today is that humanity, like never before, is at a critical crossroads. We can only go one way – as we cannot go in two directions at the same time. And what I know is that we must go into the light, into our deep knowing and connection with all of Life – as one tribe. We have the opportunity to set ourselves on a new path, and we can do this by tuning into the stillness, our innermost being and to the world around us. We can connect deeply with nature and learn from her ways. And we can learn to fall in love with the world exactly as it is. When we do this, we transform ourselves – and everything around us. It’s a simple message, I know. But it’s not always easy to practice this way of life. Since the age of four, my mother trained me in the ancient healing practices passed down from mother to daughter for many generations in our Central American culture. I’ve been honing my skills and working with people from all over the world, so they can heal, thrive and connect deeply with their inner being. And now I’m so excited to share with you here in this virtual format. In the spirit of love and deep gratitude for all that is, I invite you to join me for these 5 weeks. >>> http://su.pr/18ZsgU

Bringing the Spirit of Shamanism into Your Everyday Life

Do you find yourself rushing from one thing to another, over-booked, over-busy and over-buying just because you have no time to focus on what really matters in your life? Yes? This offers you a transformational roadmap for bringing your lifestyle into alignment with your deepest Self, creating a feeling of personal ease, as well as a better relationship with the planet. The truth is that we all want to be happy, satisfied with our lives, fully alive and contributing. But does the stuff of our daily life - our things, our consumption, our relationships, our commitments - give us the happiness we want? When the answer is no (and it is all too often) we keep trying to adjust our stuff - get more of it, get rid of it, get over it, get ahead - in order to become happy. In a culture of information overload, hyper-consumerism and uber-connected lifestyles, most of us feel a certain amount of stress in regards to our material possessions, our bodies, our livelihoods and even our relationships. Much of our creative genius - our real potential - is oftentimes squandered, sidelined or blocked. And it doesn't have to be that way. You'll gain a new way to relate to your money, time and stuff as well as understand how much is enough of anything, what really makes you happy and how to expand your options for having what you TRULY want. You may find out that what you truly want is more - or less - or different from - what you now believe you want. You'll never know without looking. You will also have fun discovering multiple strategies for having what you truly want, and feel confident about your capacity to keep having what you want well into the future. http://su.pr/2y1zvh

A transformational roadmap for bringing your lifestyle into alignment with your deepest Self

Let’s face it, men. Life can be stressful. Daily we deal with financial pressures, relationship problems, work and job difficulties, aging, health issues, too much to do, not enough time, and everything changing too rapidly to catch up. And then there’s things like feedback and criticism from women, competition with other men, being a great husband, father, brother or son - all while trying to be of service to our communities. On top of all that, we face an uncertain future and huge challenges for our planet and civilization -- economic uncertainties, job losses, political turmoil, wars, environmental disasters and critical resource limitations. Most of us feel isolated, too - we don’t have the support of our team, our brothers or a community of men. So, imagine what your life would actually be like if: You are free to bring more passion to your work and your romantic relationship. You are clear in your life’s purpose and know how to be successful. You dramatically increase your productivity and effectiveness. You are comfortable in your own skin and could always be true to yourself. You have deep, honest and soulful connections with other good men. You tap into your full power and had a significant impact on the world. You are easily able to create the life you want If a life like this sounds like what you want, you’re already on the road to becoming an Ultimate Man. “Ultimate” isn’t a destination you reach someday and then you’re done. It’s a continual process of honing your best qualities, engaging in practices that enhance your goodness and making better choices to become more and more successful in your life. Your best qualities are known as virtues. The term “virtues” sounds a bit old-fashioned, but the concept has a rich history. Aristotle (384 - 322 BC) said, “The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons.” Virtues are developed through repeated practice - like a knife being sharpened on a whetstone through continuous strokes. During the course, you’ll learn practices you can engage in to become more accountable to yourself and others. This will sharpen your integrity. Like that knife, you’ll press yourself up against your own highest values, until your edges are sharp and clearly defined. Over time, you become known as a man of integrity. Do you want to feel more personal power and have greater impact at work, in relationships and in the world? If so, join us for an extraordinary training with some of today’s greatest teachers in the men’s movement. http://su.pr/16M8um
