Do you have a book in you? Many people do but have no idea how to bring it to fruition. In these times of digital media, Kindle and iPad, a traditional paper copy is not the only way to go.
There is a wealth of information which might spark your creative juices.
I recommend the blog becoming-a-writer-seriously.com
Two acquaintances of mine, Bert Verdonck & Mindy Gibbins, publish
Write a Book in 100 Days
Mindy Gibbins is The Book Midwife
A great resource for Printing on Demand is Ecademy Press.
I also recommend you consider John Eggen. He gave a teleseminar last week about how to "Write a Client-Attracting Book Fast that Makes Up to $150,000 Before It's Published" (and more thereafter)?
It was an exceptionally content-rich teleseminar.
If you've ever dreamed of writing and publishing a book -- or are doing it now -- I recommend you download the recording from this event (available for a limited time
only).

What Can You Do To Improve a Poor Memory?
Do You Have A Poor Memory?
Of all the mental faculties of humans, the faculty of memory has been the most mysterious from times immemorial. Most of us think that if a person is born with a good memory, he is lucky. We tend to categorize people into two segments – those with a good memory and those with a poor memory.
We believe that a person having a poor memory is cursed for a life time and no matter what he does, there is no way of improving one’s memory capacity. A very small percentage of world population has a fairly good knowledge of how memory works, why most often our memory fails us and how, at times, we can remember certain things so well.
Interestingly, any two individuals on this planet have exactly the same capacity for memory. This may sound incredible, as it is in opposition with our daily experience of witnessing people with varying levels of memory.
If we really get into the basics, every human being has exactly the same mass in the brain. If we take a look into the basic units or the building blocks of the brain – the brain cells or the neurons – any two brains contain approximately the same number of them. It is estimated that every human brain consists of billions of neurons.
Each neuron is capable of making millions of connections with other neurons. All the possible interneuron connections run into several trillions. Coming to the number of inter-neuron connections, the more the merrier. The reason being, the more connections you have, the more is the “processing speed” of the brain. Viewed in this perspective, the memory capacity one can summon from the brain is awesome.
There is absolutely no reason why any individual has to suffer from a poor memory. The individual differences in respect of memory capacities, which we perceive are just the differences in the utilization levels and not those of built-in capacity.
The situation may be likened with two manufacturing units with exactly the same installed capacities. One of them may be fully harnessing its potential and deriving maximum potential. The other might have been ridden with several problems and hence is performing far below the actual capacity.
The point is any two individuals in this world have the same built-in capacity of memory. But how much positive result they take out of it, actually depends on how they utilize the innate potential.
If that be the case, then, how do you explain the unmistakable experience of witnessing some people having good memory and some other people having bad memory? In fact, there is nothing like a good memory or a bad memory. Every person has good memory in some areas and also bad memory in certain other areas.
For example, a student may find it too difficult for him to remember the Newton’s laws of Motion. The same student may have an excellent memory for facts and figures on tennis. People around us tend to brand us as a person with a good memory or otherwise, depending on whether they attach importance to what we remember or what we forget.
In the above case, the student may be branded as a person with a poor memory by his elders and teachers as he was unable to remember his academics. Whereas, his friends etc. may be all praise for his memory, as he can reel off so many facts and figures on tennis.
The student in question now has a choice. He can accept his friends’ version that he has a good memory. Or he can succumb to the verdict of his authority figures that he has a very poor memory.
If you were that student, what is your choice? Of course, your friends' version, right? Please understand that this is only the starting step. To improve your memory in your so-called “weak areas”, you need to use certain memory improvement techniques. Using these techniques, it is possible to improve your memory to an incredible level.
Top 3 Myths On Memory Improvement
Improving your memory is a skill and involves a process. Before you initiate this process, it is important to get some facts right about your brain. Nothing is sadder than not being able to take action by believing in certain myths about memory. How do you come out if this?
There are several myths about memory improvement. Here, I have given information on the top 3 myths. I know these are the "most popular myths", because, the most frequently asked questions people ask me in my training programmes necessarily involve these issues.
MYTH 1
Consuming memory pills and tonics is the easiest way to improve your memory.
Fact:
Most pills and tonics are effective, but in a very very limited way. These pills are definitely good for the well being of your brain. These pills help you have a "healthy brain".
Please understand that healthy brain does not necessarily mean sharper brain. And if your brain is healthy, there is no guarantee that you will have a great memory.
I will give you a good analogy to explain this concept. You can take some medicines/pills etc to have healthy and strong hands. Does that mean you will be able to play a piano? If you want to play a piano, you need to train your hands to be able to do that. This requires effort and patience. Just having healthy hands will not suffice.
Similarly just having a "healthy brain" will not suffice to have a great memory, though it definitely helps. If you want to have a great memory, you need to train your brain for that. The easiest way to improve you memory is to use memory improvement techniques. These techniques give a really good workout to your brain and build your "memory muscles".
MYTH 2:
If I cross the age of 40, it is certain that my memory power will deteriorate.
Fact:
Age is never a deterrent to learn any skill. And memorising is a skill. At any age, anyone can learn any skill. The only thing which is required is the "willingness to try'.
Have you not heard of people who went to ballroom dancing classes at the age of 50? And you must be seeing several 60 yr old people jogging on the streets every morning.
Now, these people chose the option to learn new skills. If a person can choose to be physically fit the age of 60, there is nothing that can stop him to be mentally fit. The most important word here is "ACTION". If you are willing to put in action, you can improve your memory irrespective of your age.
MYTH 3:
By using more of my memory, I am doing a disservice to myself, as I am using up the precious space in my brain.
Fact:
This is probably the "biggest" myth. You brain has the storage capacity of more than a million computers. You can never use up the entire capacity of the brain in your entire life. It is just impossible. What you must know, here, is an amazing secret of your brain:
That's right. The more exercise you give to your brain, the sharper it becomes. You learn new information by "hooking" it to the existing information in your brain. So, the more you learn, the more hooks you create in your brain. The more "hooks" you have in your brain, the more information you can "hang" on to your brain.
Now that you are aware of these myths, from now onwards, make sure that these myths do not stop you in your quest of memory improvement.
The 3 Stumbling Blocks of Memory Improvement
Do you have a good memory?
Can you remember any information fast?
Can you recall information whenever you want?
If your answer for the above questions is “No” or “sometimes”, then you need to know about the 3 stumbling blocks of memory improvement. Just the awareness of these blocks would also help you in a great way. So what are thee blocks?
1. Disbelief
Most people have an “amazing level” of disbelief on their memory capacity that they don’t even try to memorise new information.
In my seminars, I usually write a 50 digit number on the white board and ask the audience, “how much time you would take for memorising this number?”
And I get some great answers like:
“You mean the whole 50 digit number?
“I think I will never be able to do it”
“Come again. Memorise what?”
“It will take an year for me”
etc
Well, I do not find fault with any of the above responses. But what is interesting to note is that no one wants even to try it. What causes such disbelief in people in their memory power? The simple answer is “lack of awareness”.
Your brain is the most amazing machine on the planet. If you train your brain, nothing is impossible. Make sure that you give your memory it’s true value.
Many people brag about their memory, but don’t do anything to make it good. You just can’t wish to improve your memory. You need to act. You have to give your memory a good workout.
The next time you want to memorise anything, just make a committed effort to memorise it. Believe that you can do it. You will be surprised with the result.
2. Disinterest
You know that interest plays a vital role in the process of memory. If you have to memorise any information, YOU HAVE TO BE INTERESTED IN IT!
If you don’t, then you will not be able to memorise it. Trying to memorise information, without getting interested in it, is a great way to waste your precious time.
Try to find out ways and means of making the information fun to learn. Try to find an expert on that information and discuss the topic with him. The expert can explain the same information in a way you could never think of. Well, that’s why he is an expert!
Remember this: If the information is not interesting enough, it’s your duty to make sure it is interesting.
3. Disuse
The fastest way to forget information is to not use it in your day-to-day life.
Research indicates that people forget about 80% of the new information they learn in as less as 24 hours. Unbelievable, isn’t it? To stop this loss of information, you have use the information you learn as much as possible.
Some ideas are:
Teach the information to someone else.
Discuss the points with your peers.
Write a summary in your own words.
Write an article about it!
Think how can you teach it to any 5 year old kid.
Memory improvement is not possible unless you kick the three stumbling blocks out of your way. Eliminating these blocks early on in the process of memorising can save you a mighty amount of time and mental energy.
Coming out of the traps of disbelief, disinterest and disuse is you first step to memory improvement.
It’s easy. If only you take action.

We Can All Learn from Disney Principles
As Sir Isaac Newton said: “If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants”. As a huge inspiration, Walt Disney is one of those giants.
The Disney staff all have ONE purpose. Powerful, full stop. It is very important to ensure that ALL cast members understand their role towards the BIG purpose. “We create happiness. We provide the finest in entertainment for people of all ages everywhere.”
There are four Walt Disney value principles: dream beyond the boundaries of today, believe in sound values, dare to make a difference, and go out and do it. And, another set, this time, four priorities: safety, courtesy, show and efficiency.
Walt said,“We strive for perfection, but settle for excellence.” Knowing these values and priorities, it is no wonder that the organisation is recognised as having the best customer service in the world.
Remember this, "We have 2 ears and one mouth and we should use them in that ratio." It is key to listen to your audience, that way you can give them what they need.
Ten Disney quotes
1. All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. If you can dream it, you can do it.
2. All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
3. Disneyland is a work of love. We didn’t go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money.
4. It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.
5. It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.
6. The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
7. We believed in our idea – a family park where parents and children could have fun- together.
8. We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
9. You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality.
10. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable.
Walt Disney said, "The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." Disney started in 1923 during a recession. The corporation he co-founded, now known as The Walt Disney Company, today has annual revenues of approximately USD $35 billion. I am sure we can all learn something for practical application in our own lives or business.

Motivation quote
"Motivation alone is not enough. If you have an idiot and you motivate him, now you have a motivated idiot." —Jim Rohn
It is Up to You by Jim Rohn
One of the first things successful people realize is the old adage, “If it is to be, it is up to me.” That is, for you, the fact that your success and your course is up to you. This doesn’t mean that you do it all alone. It simply means that you take responsibility for your life and your career.
Too many people today look at opportunity and figure it is up to someone else to make sure they get it. They look at financial security and hope that the government will make sure they live safely in retirement or in case of disability. They wait and wait, figuring that it is up to someone else. And then the wait is over, and it is too late to do anything. Their life is over and they are filled with regret.
This isn’t true for you however. You know that you must take responsibility for your life. It is up to you.
The fact is that nobody else is going to do it for you—you must do it yourself.
Now, some people may say, “Jim, that’s a lot of responsibility.” Friends, that is the best news you can ever hear. You get to choose your life. Hundreds of millions of people all around this world would give anything to live in the situation you do—just for the chance to have the opportunity to take control of their destiny. “It is up to you” is a great blessing!
Here’s why:
1. You get to chart your own destiny. Maybe you want to start a small business and stay there. That’s great because you can choose that. Maybe you want to create a small chain of stores. Maybe you want to have a net worth of $100 million. That’s okay too. The idea is that you get to choose. You can do whatever you like. Different people have different dreams and they should live them accordingly.
2. You can reap what you sow. Sleep in and go to work late and reap the return. Or get up early and outwork the others and earn a greater return. Place your capital at risk and earn a return—or place it at greater risk and perhaps reap a greater return. You decide what you will sow and thus what you will reap.
3. No one else can stop you from getting your dream. Yes, there will always be things that come up and people who may not like what you are doing, but you can just move on and chart your own course. There is great freedom in that.
4. You experience the joy of self-determination. There is no greater pride than knowing you set your mind on something and accomplished it. Those who live with a victim mentality never get to experience the joy of accomplishment because they are always waiting for someone else to come to the rescue. Those who take responsibility get to live the joy of seeing a job well done.
Let me ask you a question: Where will you be in five years? Ten years? Or 25 years? Do you know? Do you have an idea? Have you ever dreamed about it or set a goal for it? Are you willing to take responsibility and recognize that, “It is up to you?”
You will be wherever you decide to be in those timeframes. You decide. It is up to you.
And that is very exciting!

Are you a Perfectionist or a Completionist?
"No need to be a perfectionist but its good to be a 'completionist.' If you start it, finish it or forget it."B Kumaris
Perfectionist is definitely not a term I relate to. I tend to be a completionist most of the time - but not always.
At the end of the year I reflected on the goals I set out to achieve, the ones I completed, and those that were left undone. I feel great about my accomplishments and I want to determine what got in the way of completing the goals that were not achieved.
A common reason a goal remains on our to do list and never ends up on the done list is because we are not 100% committed to do what it takes to get them done. Completion may mean moving into our discomfort zone because we are stepping into unknown territory. We busy ourselves with other seemingly urgent or maybe unimportant activities and then use the excuse "I don't have time."
Other enemies of completion are perfectionism and procrastination. Perfectionism and the subsequent procrastination are rooted in fear. It is not fear of the task itself or perfect results that causes the procrastination. What is there to fear about speaking in front of a group, teaching a teleclass, or making a sales call ? Yet we procrastinate about doing certain tasks because of a fear that we often do not recognize. Instead of prioritizing the task and working to complete it, we hide behind an excuse such as "I don't have the time, the money or maybe the know-how." When in reality what we really fear is a concern that we may fail, or be rejected, laughed at, judged, or criticized. So we procrastinate. We are often not even aware that these and other related fears are the real reason our progress gets derailed.
Coaching tips:
Read Take a new look at achieving your goals
• Identify the benefit of completing your goals - what will be different
• Focus on the benefits/results not on the process
• Find a mentor, coach, or accountability buddy to support you
• Join a Mastermind group
• Revise or eliminate goals that never get achieved
Excuses be gone! No more "yeah but" Take action today!

The Power of Concentration
I'm going to quote the great author Napoleon Hill on overcoming procrastination.

Ready?
'The principle of concentration is the medium by which procrastination is overcome. The same principle is the foundation upon which both self-confidence and self-esteem are predicated.'
