INSPIRATION

“The depression was a blessing in disguise. It reduced the whole world to a new starting point that gives everyone a new opportunity” Napoleon Hill

We have not experienced a great depression, however we have experienced the great recession.

Webster’s Dictionary defines recession as: A temporary falling of business.

Webster’s Dictionary defines depression in more emotional terms: Condition marked my hopelessness, self-doubt, lethargy coupled with a period of reduced business and prosperity.

This leads us to the important questions regarding who are going to be the people that realize and benefit from some of the greatest opportunities being created in the history of our nation at this writing. It comes down to how are we controlling our mind regarding the state of things and how it relates to our personal economy. How has the world been reduced to a new starting place, and what are the industries that are developing out of this new need creating environment? What are the businesses that are experiencing massive growth? Who are the growth companies and who are the new leaders of industrie? Lastly yet importantly what is the mindset that we need to develop in this new business and social environment? We believe if you are in anything business having to do with Telecom, Voip (Voice over the internet), Video, Cell Phones, Digital TV and Computers/Web 2.0 technologies you will do very well. These are very high growth industries with massive demand for new technologies popping up everyday. Case in point, “Did you talk on the phone today”, will you talk on the phone tomorrow, and the next and the next. Traditionally MLM business thrive during a bad economy as a result of people desiring to replace lost or reduced income. So why should we waste a good recession with the wrong outlook. It’s all in how we look at the situation and relate it to business. We like to say, “Develop an Inspired mindset“, which is very different form a motivated mindset.
Inspiration: Having experienced the short lived exhilaration of a motivational seminar as opposed to the long term affects that result from inspiration that is derived from a deep burning passion. It really hit home when I saw Lance Secretan make a very important distinction between motivation and inspiration in his video clip Lance Secretan's Inspired - What Great Leaders Do. He says we mix up the definitions all the time. That by definition the word motivation is a form of bribery, exploitation, manipulation and control. In short an act of selfishness. Inspiration is the exact opposite in that the meaning derives from a latin word meaning ‘spirit’ to breathe, to give life to, the breathe of god. Inspiration is an act of love. With inspiration there isn’t a need for motivation. You will become consumed with a need to fulfill your destiny.
