When I coach with other business owners and people that have ideas I often find reluctance on their part to share those ideas with others. I think this boils down many times to believing that ideas are scarce in this world.
I happen to think that ideas are a dime a dozen. If your big idea is how to make $1,000,000 with a brand new internet program that helps people, then you should tell everyone you know about it. Unless you are willing to share your ideas and let those around you know, how will you ever get the word out?
This can be backwards thinking for many people. “What if someone steals my idea?” I hear that one quite often. I’m sure that your big idea is not the only one out there.
If it is a great idea, then do something with it. Turn it into income. I help people do this each week. You must be willing to share if you want to receive on the other end.
Aren’t the people with the most friends the ones who are the friendliest in return? This should be your new way of thinking. Give away whatever you can. For this reason I give away almost everything I do for free on our website. It is also why I train others to do what I do. I routinely field emails and calls from coaches around the country that have questions about a part of their business. If I believed in scarcity instead of abundance, I would never talk to other coaches and counselors. I am not so naive to think however that I am the only one that can help everyone in this world, or even in my own city.
As stated in The One Minute Millionaire, “give your time, your approval, your smile, your advice, your wisdom, your compliments, your sense of humor, your talent, your attention, your encouragement, your love. All these things will flow back to you in abundance.”

Who is on Your Side
You cannot do it on your own. It’s as simple as that. This is why singles have it so much harder than married couples when it comes to devising a plan and getting out of debt.
Singles obviously do not have to answer to anyone, but the downside is that singles do not have to answer to anyone. Do you have someone in your life that you can share with? Even if you’re married you may need someone outside your family to share with and hold you accountable. I do that every Thursday morning with a great friend of mine.
Circle the number below each of the next 3 questions to find out where you stand. 1= Disagree Completely 5= Agree Completely
I’m willing to let down my guard with a trusted friend and reveal private thoughts, admit failures and share even the tough things.
1 2 3 4 5
I’m honest and consistent with my thoughts and words even when I have a hard truth to share with a friend.
1 2 3 4 5
I can acknowledge when someone else may be right and can even accept a friend calling my action into question, even if it is not delivered perfect.
1 2 3 4 5
The name of a person I am willing to share truth in my life is: ________________
If you cannot fill that blank in, then you have some work to do. A church is a great place to start, but you can also get closer to your neighbors and friends.
Do not make the mistake of doing life on your own. Life is far too important to go through alone. This is the very reason that those who have a professional coaching relationship or simply a great friend in their life do so well.

My Life Story On The Big Screen!
When the final chapter in my life's story has been written and work on the screenplay for the movie begins, someone will be faced with the difficult assignment of deciding who will play me on the big screen. It won't be an easy task because it will take an actor of the first water to capture the true essence of me.
My life has had the same assortments of successes and failures, tears, both of joy and of sorrow, grand excitement and heart-rending disappointments as everyone else in this world. I can say though, in all honesty I've never been bored a day in my life!
I guess I've been thoroughly blessed to have survived in this world as long as I have without the benefit of a burning desire for anything, leaving me slightly out of step with all the movers and shakers of this world. Does that mean that I've been without dreams and goals to achieve them? No!
Having no great desire to save the world, cure cancer or control a corporate empire has worked well for me. With only a few exceptions there's not a thing I would change if I had all this to do over again. There are enough surprises jumping out at us when we least expect it to overcome any thoughts of succumbing to boredom, which I believe is a sin!
Who then, if this epic of human survival were cast today, would I choose for that role of a lifetime? Not just anyone could carry off such an assignment. After much thought, I've narrowed the field down to just a few that could seriously portray me on the big screen.
As my younger self, would be the one I would definitely choose to play me, if for no other reason than he's the only young actor I can think of at the moment. He's obviously talented, for I've seen him in several movies, other than "Second Hand Lion," with Robert Duvall and Michael Caine. Dye his hair a little darker and he could be me in my younger years.
Al Pacino would be a favorable choice for an older me. He lives the character and in just a few scenes you forget that he's Al Pacino. That's the kind of man who can capture the real Bob Alexander. I can see Al now, smiling as he says, "Say hello to my little friend!" Oops! Wrong movie!
Unfortunately I don't believe this part is crying out for Mr. Pacino. This is the role every actor dreams about, but he seems a little too serious accurately portray me. I've never found a serious situation that couldn't be improved by a little humor. Some believe this to be a flaw in my character but I believe it to be genetic and it's not my fault! I was born with this affliction.
I think the ability to find humor in the most dire of situation has been passed down to my brother also. A case in point is a dilemma my family encountered when my mother passed away.
As befitting a good country song, it was raining on the day before her funeral and the weather outlook for the next day was more of the same. In addition, when my brothers and I were seated in the funeral home with the director, we found that the day was already booked. There were four interments already scheduled, but the gentleman said that he could squeeze us in at 8:00 a.m. We all determined that this was much too early for such an event.
My brother broke the silence that ensued with, "What's the chance there will be a cancellation tomorrow?" The funeral director looked surprised and in a shocked voice replied, "I don't think I've ever been asked that before." We all had a good laugh that broke, for the moment, the somber mood that had been cast over the room. Mother would have been proud!
When it comes down to deciding just who will be the lucky fellow to play me, I'll have to go with George Clooney. Not only is he a good actor, he has a wit about him that is reminiscent of my humor. Put that together with his good looks, and he would be the perfect choice to play the role of Bob Alexander.
Bob Alexander is well experienced in outdoor cooking, fishing and leisure living. Bob is also the author and owner of this article. Visit his sites at:

How Adversity can be overcome by inner wisdom
First we will see what the meaning of Adversity is. Adversity means hard times going through his or her life.Adversity seems to be a brawny and tough word if we allow it to be superior to us. Unluckily it comes in ones life and the effect of it is such that, the person is psychologically disabled to move further in his life.
Our inner perception guides us what has to be done but we are so much in tension that we are not able to perceive it. In this case if we use the god given inner wisdom, we can clear the all dirt and bring the rays of happiness in our life. But before coming out of adversity through inner wisdom we have to know the meaning of inner wisdom first.
Inner wisdom also known as “intuition” at times forces you to think, act, or speak. It acts as a lashing force which motivates, inspires, initiates thoughts, measures, and interactions. Inner wisdom also helps to achieve greatness in life guided by a Devine Spiritual Force. From the above discussion we can know that Adversity is just one of the objectives of inner wisdom.
After knowing inner wisdom now you can know when last time you have used it. You may have used it but you didn’t know at that time. Whenever you need it the inner wisdom is there for your service. All you have to do is to perceive it. What internal sound is telling you? When Adversity is witnessed in your life, what action you will take, will you mount over it? Avoid it, go through adverse phase, or get away from it? In this situation you have to listen to your inner wisdom, which is filled with inner knowledge which in turn helps to find clearness of the moment. You will take correct course act to overcome the adverse situation. This clear mental picture rationalizes you and gives you the ability to think wisely.
Now we will see how to enhance the intuition. Focus plays a vital role in enhancing the intuition. For this you have to do 10-15 minutes meditation every day. There are many ways by which we can meditate I will tell you one method in briefly. Take a candle light it and keep it at a distance of four to five feet’s from you. Keep such that the candle’s flame is at the height of your eyes. Then close the doors and windows of the room and start looking at the candle. Even if your eyes flow doesn’t matter, practice this for 10-15 minutes on daily basis. This will help you greatly to improve your inner wisdom. This meditation will help us to define and listen what the inner wisdom is telling us.
After improving our inner wisdom by meditation we will be able to face adversity with more ease. We will learn to prevent and contend Adversity instead of getting panicked by it. It will help us to move beyond it effectively when it occurs. We will see opportunity in such situation and move forward in life.

Have You Considered a Chemical Face Peel as an Answer to Your Wrinkles?
The rate at which our skin ages largely depends on how we care for our skin in our genes. The most common neglect is sun damage and smoking which can result in fine lines and wrinkles appearing earlier. A chemical face peel may be a treatment you might want to think about, even to help with acne and uneven skin tone. There are many face peel products on the market and the range is ever expanding. Face peel products range from those containing mild AHA acids to a deep chemical peel that can take several weeks to heal. The end result is that the peel reveals new fresher skin and wrinkles and blemishes are diminished meaning a new more youthful look.
Prior to considering a face peel a consultation with the dermatologist or qualified individual should to take place to determine that there will be no lasting adverse side effects. Chemical peels come with varying amounts of risk. Chemical peel is normally a safe procedure when it is performed by a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon...However, some unpredictability and risks such as infection and scarring, while infrequent, are possible.
These are some examples of chemical face peels that are available today:
AHA Peels: The milder face peel products usually contain the more naturally occuring AHA's. AHA's should be by a qualified dermatologists and require no anaesthetic although one might experience some redness and mild irritation. There are milder versions that can be applied at home after a 'patch' test has been done. AHA's are effective in treating fine lines, blotchy skin tone, acne and sun damage. The peel may need to be repeted periodically for maximum results.
Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA): Peels containing TCA's are deemed more suitable for those with pigmented skin who want a stronger peel as it does not bleach the skin and is more suitable for pigmentation problems. It is a more potent peel but an anaesthetic might not be required as the peel has a mild numbing effect on the skin. Contact with the sun is imperative for some months after the peel to prevent damage to the fresh layers of skin.
The Phenol Chemical Face Peel: Is made up of croton oil. This face peel product acts deeper and must be applied by a qualified cosmetic surgeon as it usually does require an anaesthetic or heavy sedation because it is painful. The outcome is the smoothing of deep wrinkels, it can permanently lighten the skin as the skin will more than likely be unable to produce pigment after the peel hence it is not recommended for darker skinned individuals. It will get rid of freckles and precancerous growths. One treatment is all that is required due to it's strengh. If you suffer from a history of heart disease then you must make your surgeon aware of this pror to discussing this treatment.
One thing that must not be underestimated after having a phenol chemical face peel is the importance of skin care. The gentler the better and one must keep out of the sun to prevent damage at this stage. After this treatment sun care is of utmost importance, even when the skin is fully healed.
The three chemical face peels above are the most commonly available but there are others available that the practitioner will be able to advise you of.
