The advice given at the seminar was not only how to love your work, but how to love your work and get paid really well doing it. Here I shall share with you what the speaker shared with me.

I’ve broken down the seminar into 6 key areas, learn about these and apply them to your life and you are guaranteed more success and satisfaction.

1) Our Belief Systems (BS ) are the number one reason for not earning more and you need to be aware of what yours are, improving where necessary.

Conviction that you will succeed financially and in your career/business is very important. To learn more about belief systems an excellent starting point is a Tony Robbins book or course, he talks about belief systems and how to change them in great depth.

2) Being in flow can make any job enjoyable.

Even the most mundane job can be enjoyable if it means you are “in-flow”. The speaker presented a way to determine if your life is in flow which I really like…

“Flow is when you need an alarm clock to remind you to go to bed.”

“When life feels like it is ‘difficult’ – you are definitely not in flow”

3) Know where you are on the 9 levels of wealth and make a commitment to move to the next level.

The different levels of wealth are:

Levels 7 to 9, the Trustee, the Composer, and the Legend

He didn’t go to deeply into these but they are the real high achievers such as Steve Jobs and Richard Branson. Top political figures may also feature here. Anyone at this level is able to influence on a global scale.

Levels 4 – 6, The Player, The Performer, and The Conductor

These are the marketplace levels, here you’ll find people that don’t depend on a regular monthly wage from an employer such as business owners, self employed people, and people with in-demand talents.

Levels 1 – 3, The Victim, The Survivor, and The Worker

These are the workplace levels. Hopefully no one reading this is at level 1 or 2, if you are then aim for Level 3. Level 3 is where most people are and if that’s you then the move to one of the marketplace levels may well be your goal.

At each level there is upward and downward envy. For example, at the performer level you may be an accomplished performer in an orchestra, but you may feel like you’d be better off with the responsibility of the conductor. Likewise, you may have downward envy and long for the days where you could step back and be a player – out on your own and not having the responsibility of playing within a group of musicians.

For more information on the Wealth Dynamics, Roger Hamilton’s books were recommended to me as an excellent resource. I’ve just ordered ‘Wink and Grow Rich’ on Amazon and cant wait to read it.

4) Have a big “why?”

To move up the wealth spectrum you need to have a good reason to do so, otherwise it won’t be a priority in your life and you’ll end up getting caught up in other things. The speaker gave an example about Sir Richard Branson. You may know about his Virgin Galactic company; the first to offer the general public the chance to go into space at a reasonable price (well if $200k sounds reasonable to you, I’m sure it will get cheaper in time). Richard Branson didn’t actually have enough of his own money to start the company and make it work, but he had a big ‘Why’, so he made it happen regardless.

The speaker said that Branson’s ‘why’ was to allow politicians to see the world without any borders. With a ‘Why’ like this it gave him the motivation to see the project through no matter what obstacles got in the way. When it looked like the engine would be too expensive to produce within the constraints of his budget, he used his creative ability to devise a competition which gave the opportunity for engineers to develop the engine and win 10 million pounds. This was a substantial saving on what it would have cost him to develop the engine conventionally.

5) Know where you are on the Wealth Spectrum.

I have to admit I was concentrating a little too hard on what the speaker was saying about this to take notes. It’s all about the different types of people there are in terms of what behaviour is most comfortable to us, it’s quite involved but luckily I found this excellent little video…

‘Wink and Grow’ is sure to have has lots of information on this topic.

6) Know about the process of “luck”

The critical elements of luck are:

• Location – be at the right place in the right time (and be the right person J). As nice as it can be, a critical moment is unlikely to occur sitting at home watching TV.
• Connections – knowing the right people, and different types of people (see number 5) is key.
• Knowledge.
• Understanding.

For luck to occur you need to take advantage of critical moments when they crop up, and you do need to be clear on your vision to be able to do this. There are plenty of great resources I can recommend with regard to vision so please let me know if you need them.

So there you have it, 6 cool things to help you not only love your work, but get paid well for it too, I hope there is something here of benefit to you!

In the book the author presents the idea of setting aside an hour or so each day as your designated time to worry about things. The author’s idea is to deal very tough adversity. Hopefully you are in a good place right now, but that said, doesn’t everybody experience the odd bit of negativity here, and, a bit of beating up on yourself there?

I use to worry a lot… about the past, the future, where I was heading, that I wasn’t achieving enough etc. The first technique I learnt was to go on a ‘negative thought fast’, where for 30 days whenever anything negative enters your mind you instantly banish it. This can work well for some people, but I found a major flaw in it. Whenever you catch yourself with a negative thought you are very likely to beat yourself up (mentally) for thinking it, and what you resist always persists! The more you try and stop yourself having a negative thought the harder you beat yourself up for having one.

So, how to solve this problem? Whenever I want to program a new behaviour into myself I always try and make use of the ways we naturally operate. For example, procrastination is a natural behaviour for most of us, everybody does it to some degree and I know I do it a lot. So I decided why not procrastinate on my negative thinking? I decided to set aside 30 minutes at the start of each lunch hour whereby I was allowed to have all the negative thoughts I wanted, I gave myself permission to really let rip about every aspect of myself and my life.

After trying this, two incredible things happened. Firstly, I found it quite easy to procrastinate on my negative thoughts.

Secondly, when it came around to the time where I allowed myself to have the negative thoughts, I no longer felt like doing it! Honestly, I couldn’t even if I tried… really REALLY hard!

So, the next time you catch yourself in a negative mind-set, don’t beat yourself up about it, just make the decision to procrastinate until the next day at a specific time. Don’t be surprised that when the time comes to dwell on your negative thought it has either vanished or simply become irrelevant. I bet that when you try and force yourself to be negative it’s actually much harder than you might think!
