Okay, so you’ve been victimized by a person by his so-called mind reading abilities, and you’ve done your share of searching the internet for free mind reading tricks to get even with him. Admit it, you were outsmarted by that guy’s crafty moves and mastery of the trick. But always remember, if he can do it, there’s no reason why you couldn’t as well.

It doesn’t take a genius for one to know that there are thousands of free mind reading tricks available in the internet. However, if you’re truly determined to pull off that one amazing, trick, the internet may not necessarily be a good place to start. One person somewhere must have come across the same tricks, and might have considered doing them to please a crowd.

If you want to learn a single trick to help you read other people’s minds, then you better read on. There may be different versions of this trick but this version of the trick truly sets it apart from the rest out there.

The name of the trick is the “Quick! Quick! And Don’t Think!” game. The game is simple. It is best played with close friends, people you have known for a long time and have had a long time being together. Before the trick, write the words ‘poodle’ and ‘golden retriever’ on 2 separate slips of paper. Then, have 3-5 people join you in this game. Give each person a pencil and a small piece of paper.

Now, inform your friends that you’ve recently discovered that you have been given with mind reading abilities, and it was only just a week ago that you’ve found that out. Of course, most often your friends would laugh at you, most probably they won’t believe you. If this happens, don’t panic. Instead, celebrate. This is exactly what you want them to think. They can laugh now, but after the trick, you’ll be the one doing all the laughing.

Have your friends be seated along a circle. Then, ask them to spell out simple words. Ask them to write down these words on their slip of paper. You can use any word as long as all words belong to a certain category. For instance, your category is astronomy. You can use Star, Moon, Sun, as long as these words have something in common or belong in the certain classification or group. Have 5 words for these. Next, after the 5th word, instead of asking for another word involving astronomy, ask them to write a type of dog, and to write it as quickly as possible.

At the slightest hint of any of your friends thinking (maybe looking up, closing their eyes, mouthing the word ‘um,’ etc.) approach them quickly and pressure them! Panic them, shout at them, do everything you can! After you’ve made certain everyone has finished writing, tell them that even before your simple game began, you’ve already guessed their answers for their last question. Show them your piece of paper containing “poodle.” Most likely, a few of your friends wrote the same.

Yes, this trick involved luck, but quite honestly, luck is on your side here. If it turns out “poodle” is wrong, tough luck! You’ll get them next time. At least you’ve finally found your go-to trick. You don’t need to look for free mind reading tricks ever again!

Learning to read doesn’t just happen. It has to be taught through systematic, organized instruction. Reading is a skill which is built upon through stages and is an ongoing process.

If a stage of reading development has not been learned, students will flounder in their reading ability, which also affects their writing skills. It is imperative that teachers make certain students fully understand each stage of the reading/writing process before they move on to the next level.

Jean Chall, world renowned reading expert and psychologist for fifty years, and past professor emeritus at Harvard University cites her five stages of reading development below:

Stage 0:

Pre-reading Stage:

Unsystematic accumulation of understandings about reading between pre-school and kindergarten.

Stage 1:

Initial Reading or Decoding Stage (grades 1-2; Ages 6-7 )

Student’s central task is learning arbitrary letters and associating them with corresponding parts of spoken words. Learner acquires knowledge about reading. Phonics.

Stage 2:

Confirmation, Fluency, Ungluing from Print, Automaticity Stage (grades 2-3; Ages 7-8)

Consolidation of what was learned in Stage 1. Requires reading many easy and familiar books for developmental reading. Gradual increase in functional and recreational reading. Common use of the basal readers. Functional reading important – content area texts – here’s where we fail in our attempts to prepare our students. Range of possible recreational reading increases.

Stage 3:

Reading for Learning the New Stage: A First Step (Grades 4-8; ages 9-13)

Readers need to bring prior knowledge to their reading. Children acquire facts.

Stage 4:

Multiple Viewpoints Stage: (High School; Ages 14-18)

Should include instruction in reading/study skills, and reading strategies for success.

Stage 5:

Construction & Reconstruction Stage: College ; Ages 18 & up)

Adult literacy should stress acquisition of skills useful to the participants and the ability to apply those skills.

These are the stair steps of reading development. They are built upon and climbed, as students grow in their literacy development. Sometimes students get stuck in one of the stages. It’s my job as a literacy specialist to “unstick” them so they can move on to the next phase and beyond, empowering them to become enthuiastic readers and writers.

“The rules won’t let me” Is the thirteenth of my series of the eighteen excuses people most commonly use, consciously or unconsciously that can slow down or eliminate their chance of becoming successful. Mind Set is a very substantial part of success development. Through various strategies like this and Personal Development can be made a lot easier.

There are areas of your life, and I am not referring to laws or legalities but social rules that can intimidate us not to cross lines because they are the rules we grew up with that either our parents or our piers instituted for us. Things that we perceive to be real only are they?

For instance, you can’t move out of state and leave your family or I have to do it that way I always have. Sometimes we need to march to the beat of our own drummer and do it our way. That is our form of originality.

With continued mind set training will aid in your success development. There are is a lot of mind chatter that can be in your mind holding you back from success. So continue to learn and grow.

We know you are all capable of this. You had to step outside of societies box to enter the realm of free enterprise to start with. Don’t let this mind virus limit your originality and perhaps keep you from your true path. Listen to your heart and follow its rules, that is usually our best guide.

For the longest time, I always thought that success in life meant financial success. I mean, most of us would love to live in a huge home located on a sunny beach and not have to worry about finding enough money to just to pay the bills each month. I soon realized though that fame and fortune does not dissolve away the problems associated with a troubled life. With suicides and drug problems associated with some high-profile people, I had to rethink my former notion of what success exactly is. This fact was further brought to light by a client of mine who was a self-made millionaire at a very young age and had a tremendous amount of success in business, but as I soon found out, his personal life was littered with drugs, adultery, and alcohol.

So I began to think, “Well, maybe money has nothing to do with success.” This idea lead me to an old gentleman named Carlos, who in his 60s, was a happy and friendly person, but also very poor by most standards. Carlos had a large family and was the proud grandfather of six beautiful grandchildren. Carlos unfortunately passed away a year after I had met him and although he lead a happy life, I could not help but feel a sense of loss for his family who now struggled to make ends meet. Although Carlos led a happy life, the absence of money in his life brought a level of stress and pain to his final legacy and for his family. I determined that the feeling of happiness alone, just like money, was not enough to qualify as being successful in life.

So what is success then if it is neither feeling happy, nor wealth alone? I had to discover for myself that success involves not only completing the things that you plan on doing in life, but also planning on completing the things in life that are important to your values as a person. These values are made up of:

• Physical health

• Professional growth and development

• Spiritual growth

• Financial security

• Happiness

• Personal development

• Relationship maintainance

• Love and romance

I have found that success does not require vast wealth, nor does it require you to have a fitness model body. Success in life, means that you have achieved your own optimal balance between all of the above-stated components. In this model of success, one cannot focus on just making money because it would cause the other components to significantly drop. This model of success means that the person does not focus solely on money, but instead shares a more bountiful marriage, or establishes better relationships and leaves this world a happy person.

So as a Personal Development Coach, I recommend that you should assess where you are at currently with respect to the above-stated components of your legacy. It’s natural that some might be higher or lower than others. It becomes your task to identify which ones are significantly higher and lower than others and focus on bringing those values which are low up to a higher level. That is the path towards success in life.

I see a lot of people online ask this question, “Can anyone make money online”? The answer is yes, but in order to become successful there are a few things that you need in order to see the results that you want. The fact that 97% of all online marketers spend more money then they make is daunting I know, but shift your perspective for a moment. That only leave 3% that you actually have to compete with, 97% are already out of the way. So can anybody make money online? Sure they can and in this article I will explain what is needed to make a significant income from home.

The absolute first thing that has to be mastered before you can make a dime is your mindset. This is something that is rarely talked about but extremely important, and it’s the reason people ask “can anyone make money online”. I want you to understand that there will be times where you will just want to give up, so you have to set your mindset to be prepared for this. If you don’t you will find yourself with that 97% who quit within their first 90 days or spend more money then they make. Reading personal development books and surrounding yourself with like minded people is a great way to shift your mind set.

Finding the right system is the next key here. In order for you to see true success online you have to find the right system that will be able to leverage yourself and knowledge effectively. That’s why the Internet is such an amazing medium. You must have a system in place that does most of the work for you like, sorting through leads, selling, follow up, training new team members, etc. Having a system like this will immediately eliminate the question ” Can anyone make money online” and you will also be able to achieve results at a much greater level.

Finally the last thing that it takes to make a significant income from home is all out massive action and severe consistency. Without these things you will fail. I know it sounds harsh but it is the truth. You have to jump in with both feet so to speak, never look back and be vicious sort of like a pit bull. Nobody is going to be there telling you what to do so it is up to you to hold yourself accountable and come up with a daily action plan. Marketing is hard work and that’s why the numbers are they way that they are in this industry, and they aren’t budging either. So commit to excellence and run your business like a multi-million dollar industry by taking massive action.

So for the people asking “Can anyone make money online?” I tell you it’s really up to you. Apart from having a great system the only element that really matters is you. Remember that the system is just the vehicle, you are the one driving and it is on you where your final destination is. Apply this in your life today. I sincerely hope that you received value in today’s article and remember, massive action gets massive results!

In order to find the answer to the question; why is personal development important, you must first find out what it means to you. Personal development is a way of life; you can’t know everything so if you embark on learning new things to broaden your horizons then this is personal development.

The best way in my opinion, to develop you, would be to learn the laws of success and prosperity. I am usually in heavy debate about the educational system and how it fits into to society. It creates people who believe that the only way to make it in life would be to follow a path that was predetermined by those who were or never will be truly wealthy in life.

Let’s take a closer look at this. We go to school and we are told that we have to learn in order to get a good 9-5 job. We then go to work and realize that all of our time is spent between working, sleeping and coping with the stress of never feeling successful. My friends if this is the way the scholars have determined success to be then we have all failed at life.

How can we go to work and get paid while the government makes more money out of our income than we do, I find this simply comical and this is what we are forced to accept.

Do you think you need to ask; why is personal development important, because clearly we need to develop a new way of thinking. We don’t need to become more educated to have a fulfilling life.

I know by saying that I may stir up some trouble but I don’t care because it true. The most successful people who have ever lived and have achieved success higher than Mount Everest were not educated, most of which were high school drop outs.

I’m not bashing education but I’m bashing the educational system. I’m surely not saying that you should not get educated but I’m saying that the educational system doesn’t hold the secret to success but you can become a successful tax payer. The more you earn for the time spent working the more taxes you must pay the government.

You need to develop the success traits of the wealthy and 99% of them will tell you it has to do with developing the power from within you and not cramming more words into your brain from text books.

If you learn how to control this power then you will surely find a way to be truly successful. Now sit down and ask yourself the question; why is personal development important to you?

Do you think you have an answer now? Do you think that you need to find ways to build multiple income streams to reach financial freedom; I’ll tell you a secret, if you want to become really successful find ways to give true value to others. Find a way to help people enrich their lives and you will reach financial freedom at an astonishing rate.

Want to know how true this is? Look around you right now. Look at all the marvelous inventions around you today like the television, radio, light bulb, computer, cellular phones and I can go on forever.

These things ad value to your lives and if you get in touch with your inner genius through personal development, then you will realize how you to can add value to other peoples lives too.

I hope you can now answer the question; why is personal development important. Realize that if you don’t seriously embark on developing yourself then you will be hindered by the way society have developed a strategy to keep you under it clutches as an employee and not an employer of success.

Meditate on what I’ve just said. The persons who may own the businesses for which you work are employers of success strategies. They’re successful because they have embarked on learning the laws of success and millionaire mindset.

You are the employee of this success because their businesses run on autopilot through your efforts not theirs. While you’re making your way to work they’re making their way to the gym. Are you getting the bigger picture now?

It’s time you become the employer of success and not the employee. That time is now. Never again should you ask the question; why is personal development important. It holds the answer to changing you entire life. Learn to develop the millionaire mindset today.

Personal Development – Action vs Daydreaming
Personal Development (PD) is one of the hidden pillars of the successful home business and for business leaders in general. The will and drive to build success has to be sustained over time. We actually need to work harder on ourselves than we work on our business to sustain our commitment. Its about controlling and disciplining our minds and becoming more because success is not something we pursue – success is something we attract.

Attracting Success

In order for us to attract success we need to become that person that attracts success. We are not going to attract success if we are not mentally ready to attract success. At least 30 minutes of PD every day. The key here is not to look outward for excuses, fall guys or success – everything is in our hands. There is no outside force that is going to make us change. Invest in books, magazines, etc. in terms of expanding your mind and becoming more prosperous.

Also, no one book is going to answer everything for you, even if you are saying to yourself right now “YES – I have the magic Book”. YES – it is funneling ALL wisdom about everything to me right now”. What you need to look for is material that resonates and moves you the most – start there.

Because the more you do – the more/faster your circumstances will change. It’s not about working hard – it’s about becoming more. So we can achieve more. Personal Development is not an end in itself it is a tool, one of many in your tool kit. Don’t get lost in empowerment or feel good messages. PD HAS to become accompanied by action – it is NOT a replacement for your plan.

Communicate with people and tell them where you are going at every opportunity. Giving your vision a reality through declaration and then implement. Implementation is one of the hallmarks of a becoming a leader.

Being a leader is a process. We can all say the same thing but it is how we language it to our teams. This is a process we are all working to become better all the time.

Practice it — Every opportunity with your team/friends/family/etc. – tell them where you’re going. Is it frightening – YES. Why? Because you committed yourself to take action by exposing your vision to the world.

Problem Solving
The only person who doesn’t have problems is in the cemetery. So all of us are and have been here. Formula for embracing problems:

We all come from backgrounds that say avoid problems
FORGET THAT
We need to get better at facing challenges and solving problems.

Good problem solvers and going over obstacles and being able to talk about to other people about and through it is incredibly liberating. We want to become a person to see a problem as an opportunity to get us where we want to go. We need to embrace problems and work to solve them. Obstacles, challenges, problems are all the same. Why?

The bigger the problem- the bigger the check.

Overcoming Fear

Here’s what I like you do. The great thing about PD is that when you take action you do really feel better. Start manageable and grow. Write a list of what you don’t like to do – what makes you feel uncomfortable.

This lays out action items and it puts you in control. If it we put ourselves out there – we are going to get more of we want so we need to be prepared to put ourselves out there and the first step is to make a list – make it real – get it out of our heads.

After you compiled the list – make the opportunity to do those things. In this world we all have choices – nobody’s forcing us to anything – we need to become willing to do and become more (see time management piece). Then you have to be willing to DO the things to get you where you want to go. No magic – just choice. Am I willing to do that? If you see something to be taken care of – you step up and take care of it.

In general, people are not willing to do the things which are uncomfortable – that is what keeps them where they are. A good leader is someone who is willing to do the things that make them uncomfortable. First, you do it yourself and then tell others to do the same. Your team, family, etc. is thinking the same as you used to – let them that no one is going to put an obstacle in front of them except for them. And that the faster we remove our barriers the faster we are going to move forward.

Becoming a Leader

To be a leader the best thing you can do is to be around leaders

Understand their thinking

Feel their belief and passion

Know that YOU can join them anytime YOU wish
Get Committed — Don’t hold back — Willing to learn

The American dream involves success in one way or another. A successful person either has the home, the car, the family, the yard or some other measuring stick for how they think life should be. In order to achieve success, however, one must first know what will make them feel successful. Once they have that, they must then figure out how to reach that pinnacle. Though it sounds relatively simple, many Americans struggle with the concepts of goal-setting and achievement. For this, they have the option to turn to motivational speakers for training and development.

Many people and techniques can fall within the “motivational” category. It can be as involved as hypnotherapy and hypnosis, or as simple as sitting down and reading a book. Whatever the game plan, motivational speakers such as Anthony (Tony) Robbins, Zig Ziglar, Jack Canfield and Earl Nightingale have contributed their own thoughts on the best ways to form and achieve goals.

When you look at the teachings of these individuals as a group, there are many similarities to be seen. However, individually, there are some interesting contrasts that seem to separate the sensational from the commonsensical. Anthony Robbins and Jack Canfield celebrate extensive monetary and cultural success, along with personal drama such as divorce and family estrangement. Zig Ziglar and Earl Nightingale, however, experienced moderate success but appeared to maintain a healthy family life. The difference between these two groups: the latter infused their philosophies with Christianity, while the former did not.

Anthony Robbins has built a media empire on the foundation of ‘personal power,’ which he describes as the ability to take action. Anthony Robbins’ power theory is his explanation for why some people are successful and others are not; namely, that successful people who achieve greatness do so because they take action. Anthony Robbins’ personal power offerings include Anthony Robbins books and Anthony Robbins CD collections with titles such as, Unlimited Power: The New Science Of Personal Achievement and Awaken, The Giant Within. Live With Passion!, The Power To Shape Your Destiny. He has also explored neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) training as a method for teaching people how to duplicate the successes of others in their own lives.

Anthony Robbins showed his ability to take action when he chose to divorce his first wife, Becky Robbins, after nearly 15 years of marriage. In the same year his divorced was finalized, he married his second wife, Sage Robbins. After the fact, he developed a program called Ultimate Relationship Program, despite some negative feedback from fans and critics alike. When he spoke on Larry King Live, Anthony Robbins’ quotes on the topic included his reflection on loving vs. being loved:

“I think everyone wants to be loved, whether everyone wants to love is a part of emotional maturity.”

Jack Canfield, co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books, had his own personal challenges. Despite his ability to reach out and touch millions of people worldwide with messages of inspiration and hope, he found himself in two divorces and the subject of a book his son wrote which cast doubt on the legitimacy of “self-help” media. Though Canfield identifies himself as a Christian and incorporates spirituality into many of his texts, specific excerpts or quotations from the bible are not found.

Decades prior, Zig Ziglar and Earl Nightingale laid down the foundation for motivational speaking with noteworthy titles such as Ziglar’s See You at the Top and Nightingale’s, The Strangest Secret. In both cases, examples or citations were taken from the Bible and infused into their text somehow, seeming to indicate the importance of Christian text to their motivational endeavors. Likewise, both gentlemen remain with their first wives.

Is the Bible required for a motivational speaker to maintain success in his professional and personal life? The hard evidence isn’t in this text, but it’s something to consider.

Internationally renowned business philosopher Jim Rohn says, “We want to set the goals that our heart conceives, that our mind believes and that our bodies will carry out.” We are intelligent beings and as intelligent beings we need to have SMART goals. The acronym S.M.A.R.T. outlines the set of criteria that your goal must follow in order for it to be a well-focused and achievable goal. That set of criteria is:

Specific: Do you know exactly what you want to accomplish with all the details?

Measurable: Are you able to assess your progress?

Attainable: Is your goal within your reach given your current situation?

Relevant: Is your goal relevant towards your purpose in life?

Time-Sensitive: What is the deadline for completing your goal?

Create Specific Goals

Jack Canfield in his book, The Success Principles, states that “Vague goals produce vague results.” There is no place in your life for vague goals. Your subconscious mind will fulfill whatever it focuses on and if your goals are ambiguous or incomplete, then you will achieve results that are also ambiguous or incomplete. You want to make your goal as detailed as possible in order to achieve the specific results that you desire. A specific goal is one that is clearly defined in such a way that anyone could come by and understand what you intend to accomplish. Your goal should contain a detailed description of what you want to accomplish; when you want to accomplish it by; and the action(s) you will take to accomplish it.

Bad example: “I want to write a book.”

Good example: “I want to write a book on time management that is at least 200 pages in length and have it done by December 16th. I’ll commit myself to writing at least 2 pages every workday until I reach completion.”

Create Measurable Goals

Always set goals that are measurable in some way. You need to establish a measuring stick for assessing the progress towards your goals because if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. A good measurable goal will be one where anyone can come up to you at the deadline and, by viewing the results, determine whether or not you have completed your goal. You also want to be able to see the progressive changes that you make on your goal so that you can judge whether or not you are reaching the completion of your goal. Select a standard unit of measurement that will enable you to see exactly how far you have come from the start of your goal and how far away from the completion of the goal you are.

Bad example: “I want to be rich.”

Good example: “I want to generate $100,000 in passive income within 5 years from this date.”

Create Attainable Goals

Having high goals that stretch you is important, but you need to also need to create goals that are realistic for your situation and skill level. Many people unfortunately set their goals and dreams so high that they are just not very realistic and, as a result, they never seem to reach their dreams in life. Creating goals that are not attainable is very disempowering and will only serve to demotivate you in life. Remember to set high goals, but be realistic about your goals. On the same note, goals that are too easily accomplished do not stretch you or make you grow as a person because they are not challenging enough. You will want to find that right mix of goal that is challenging, but not extreme.

Bad example: “I want to become a millionaire in 2 months.”

Good example: “I want to become a millionaire within 10 years by starting my own personal development company and doing seminars all over the world and by creating a line of passive income products.”

Create Relevant Goals

Having goals is great, but what is the underlying purpose for those goals? You want to create goals that are in-line with your personal mission statement or your purpose in life. Relevant goals ensure that you are dedicating your effort towards goals that are focused towards who you are as a person. It is similar to a college curriculum that focuses on specific courses for each major. All of us should create a mission statement for ourselves which is basically our purpose in life and all of our goals should spawn from that mission statement. Goals are just a means of achieving that mission in life. A goal can be very evil in nature and still abide by all the other criteria, but relevancy is the ethical check on that goal to make sure that this particular goal fits within your purpose in life.

Bad example: “Within one year, I want to become a warlord and have many loyal soldiers who will commit acts of terrorism on my behalf.”

Good example: “By the end of the year, I want to build a philanthropic foundation that helps feed the homeless.”

Create Time-Sensitive Goals

Every goal that you create must be time-sensitive in nature. Not having a time element attached to your goal breeds procrastination. We would simply be motivated to put the goal off for a later time and never get around to it. Goals must have definite starting points and ending points and milestones along the way.

Bad example: “I am going to do my homework.”

Good example: “I am going to finish my homework by 8pm tonight and I’ll achieve this deadline by spending one hour on each subject.”

By spending some time towards making sure that your goals fit the SMART criteria, you will ensure your success.

Have you toiled day and night searching for a success guide?

Have you searched and read all success tips, success articles, success ideas, success books, personal development books but you have not really recorded any success story in whatever you do?

Do you desire a proven personal development plan or a genuine personal growth and development?

Have you read the success stories of successful people all your life and you believe it is about time people read your own story?

If you answer “Yes” to these questions, then I advise you to read on.

I am sure you know very well that nobody wants to be associated with a failure. Everybody loves achievers. This is the simple truth!

You can make yourself stand on the winning podium always by studying and applying the success keys that I will be sharing with you in this article.

Success Key 1: Believe in yourself: You must understand that there is something unique that has been deposited into you by God during creation. You are a STAR (Genesis 1:17). Stars are meant to shine lights! You are very relevant wherever there is anything representing darkness. A star has in-built characteristics that are necessary for it to perform its great work of light-shining. Since you are a star, there is something great in you to succeed on this earth. You only need to make yourself believe this.

Success Key 2: Never stop learning the Truth about your success from the Word of God: I believe it is very important you make yourself learn the truth in the word of God-the Bible on a regular basis. It is the best place to learn. I have always read the success stories of Jesus Christ from the Bible on a regular basis. You can begin to do this too. He is the most successful Human Being that ever walked the surface of this earth. So position yourself to learn from Him the various success keys He used to open success doors. You can claim a FREE copy of my e-book “Jesus and Your Success” at http://www.sesanoguntade.com/freesuccessbooks. You will have access to 10 super-success secrets of Jesus.

Success Key 3: Update your knowledge of your industry: We all belong to one niche or industry or the other. Things are changing nowadays at a very fast rate. You can’t afford to loose sight of the changes in your industry. If you do, you are making yourself very irrelevant and this will never make you open success doors.

Success Key 4: Have a great relationship with man: You must find a way of learning about how you can have a great relationship with man. If you must succeed here on earth, you need the company of people on most occasions. You must understand how you relate with people for you to gain tremendously from your relationships. I am assuring you if you can learn this skill so well, it will make you open success doors on regular basis.

Success Key 5: Be bold to take actions: This is also very important. You must be bold to take actions. If you are not bold, you will never do anything worthwhile that can ensure your success. Obstacles are always there to stop you, so you must be strong to overcome them. One of my hobbies is “crushing obstacles”. You can’t crush if you are not bold. Be bold to take actions always.
