Happy President’s Day everyone! And what a beautiful, morning we have here today.

Last night, I had a chance to make my first pass through Napoleon Hill’s chapter on Sexuality & Charisma. The focus is on taking our vital energy, and instead of diffusing it through sexuality, taking that passion, and channeling it (or as he calls it, transmuting it) into a creative channel, using our sixth sense. read more

Our next chapter in Think and Grow Rich appears to be an interesting one. It’s on sexuality, charisma & creativity. I’ve not had a chance to read it yet, so this morning I pulled out a little book Spencer got me a few years back … from the Napoleon Hill Foundation: “365 Meditations for Making Each Day a Success.”

So I’ll share with you today’s meditation from February’s topic of Personal Initiative. read more

You can’t stay in your corner of the forest waiting for others to come to you.
You have to go to them sometimes.

So yesterday, we talked about the importance of key alliances, what Napoleon Hill calls the Mastermind Group.

I spent alot of time thinking about that concept, as I spent the day prepping for my same-day villa turnover.

There’s an old English saying “Many hands make light work”.   And  I’m always grateful when I’ve called in cleaning help. read more

I’m a bit sleepy this morning, but fortunately I heard my villa guests out on the patio above, which woke me up just in time to catch this heart in the sky as it was dissipating …

Happy Valentines Day !!!

And what a perfect topic we have in store to start this holiday: The power of the mastermind group.

Truth be told, we need one another !!!

And if we are to succeed in life, Napoleon Hill says that our spouse needs to be 100% on board with our dreams, goals and desires. read more

It’s gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiny day:)

And it’s hard to believe we are already half way through February, and yet I’ve just barely surpassed the midway point of Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”. It’s alot to grasp!

So I think it’s a perfect time to summarize where we’re at. This will also allow me to get ahead, and spend some time today thinking about our next step to growing riches, which is the Master Mind. read more

It’s a beautiful morning here, and special birthday wishes go out to my friend Bridgette … Who is being released from the hospital today!  After much persistence and testing, the doctors finally have discovered what has been at the root of various health concerns much of her life. Great news!

So today, we finish up our contemplation of how important Persistence truly is to the philosophy of achievement. This chapter sure is packed with valuable information. I’ve been jumping around the chapter the past few days, as various thoughts caught my attention. read more
