What visualizations to you use when you see yourself being materially abundant?
If your getting your car fixed, your portfolio reviewed, and so on quality professional service sets you apart.
No one with good sense shops amazon to fix their car, get their portfolio review, fight their case for them.
I truly appreciate high quality service and will on my own tell everyone what a good company they are, or how skilled and professional was that service.
Saving $300 on a good portfolio review is a fool's pinching pennies and losing pounds.
Life is so much easier, better and more pleasant dealing with good people.
This is not a lesson everyone learns, but of course the thread and the posts are for those aiming for outstanding excellence in their lives. Mediocracy and masses both start with "M" as does mainstream. Lifting oneself above the churning sea of masses requires vision and excellence, and is appreciated by kindred souls those who value these same qualities.
Let others waste their lives struggling and fighting in the same low mindset. The air is clear and clean on the high mountain slopes.
Aim for the stars. Your life is what you chose to make of it.
Someone once observed that the reason we often fail to recognize opportunities is because they come disguised as problems.
When a customer, a colleague, or your boss has a problem, it may create a valuable opportunity for you.
It isn’t important to the person with the problem how your company is organized or whose responsibility it is to solve the problem; he or she only wants the situation resolved. The next time a customer, a colleague, or your boss asks for your assistance in something that falls outside your area of responsibility, instead of referring them to someone else, offer to help. Look at the situation from the other person’s point of view. How would you like the situation handled if the roles were reversed? Take the initiative to find the answer, solve the problem, or keep the project moving forward.

Four Multi-Millionaire Traders Share Their Thoughts On Trading
February 16, 2009 by Adam Hewison
“The key is consistency and discipline,” says Richard Dennis who grew $400 into $200,000,000.
"The key is consistency and discipline. I don't think anybody winds up making money in this business because they started out lucky."
For legendary trader Richard Dennis, the importance of being consistent isn't just theory. In 1984, on a bet, Dennis trained 23 individuals off the street to religiously follow a set of trading rules. His point was to provide that discipline was the key to trading success. All but 3 of those beginner traders made over 100% return their very first year of trading and Dennis won his $1,000,000 bet. Consistent discipline is also what is taught in the "Futures in Motion" advisory service.
“It's perseverance” declares Tom Baldwin who started with $25,000 and made untold millions trading upwards of $2 billion dollars a day in T-Bond futures.
"It's perseverance. You don't need any education at all to do it … because it is like any job. If you stand there long enough, you have to pick it up."
By most accounts, Tom Baldwin may be the single largest individual trader in the T-Bond pit and Tom attributes his success to perseverance. This is a principle on which "Futures in Motion" is based. According to Tom, you need no special education to become a super trader. Ken agrees and believes that if you just follow him every day, eventually you have to pick it up.
"It is a happy circumstance that when nature gives us true burning desires, she also gives us the means to satisfy them. Those who want to win and lack skill can get someone with skill to help them."
“Always use stops” recommends Michael Marcus who turned $30,000 into $80,000,000.
"Always use stops. I mean actually put them in, because that commits you to get out at a certain point … to be a competent trader and make money is a skill you can learn."
“Get someone with skill to help” advises Ed Seykota who turned $5,000 into $15,000,000 trading commodities.
Ed Seykota lives on Lake Tahoe and trades from his office overlooking a view of incredible beauty. Ed's living his life exactly as he wants and the gentle philosopher within him wishes you to enjoy the same privilege. To Ed, it's a simple matter; if you have a true burning desire, get someone with skill to help you.
Nature yields her most profound secrets to those who are determined to uncover them.
The field of science is perhaps the best illustration of how success always seems to come to those who apply the principle of accurate thinking in a persistent, determined effort. America’s great inventor Thomas A. Edison is said to have failed 10,000 times in his attempt to develop a workable electric light bulb. He learned from each failure and refused to quit until he succeeded. Breakthroughs occur every day because a determined person continues to search for solutions to complex problems long after everyone else has given up and gone home. You may not invent the light bulb or the next supercomputer, but you can find creative solutions to old problems if you apply the proven principles of success consistently and persistently.
Due to the dynamics of trading it is necessary to apply new and inventive techniques to discover your own personal edge.
(in most cases (1).).
Your edge is your unique discovery that has eluded others and gives you the ability to generate profits greater than losses on a consistent basis.
You need to add something to the known knowledge to create a value-add that is your edge.
-----
Note 1: It may be possible to apply a known method in a unique way. That is, your insight is in the "how to apply" and not in the "what to apply".

Gratitude brings brings us closer to the source and in harmony with God.
The law of gratitude is one of action and reaction. When you send gratitude to God you send energy to him that cannot fail to reach Him and causes an immediate reaction from Him. Draw nigh unto God and He will draw closer
unto you. When you are closer to the source of all Good and the Power of the Universe your ability to tap into the connect to the source is easier.
IF your gratitude is strong and constant the reaction from the Formless substance will be strong and continuous. The movement of good things will always be to you.
Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought with things as they are. The moment you begin to dwell with dissatisfied thought upon things as they are you begin to lose ground. You fix your attention on the ordinary, the squalid the poor and the needy. The mind takes the form of these things and then your mind will transmit these things to the formless and the squalid, the poor and the needy will come to you.
To permit your mind to dwell upon the inferior is to become inferior.
To fix your attention on the best is to surround yourself with the best.
The mind grows only through use, and it atrophies through idleness.
Just as the physical body becomes strong through regular exercise, so does the mind require regular use to remain strong. Make sure that your personal development plan includes plenty of mental stimulation. One of the best ways to develop your imagination and visualization skills is through reading. As you read, your mind translates the words into images that help you better understand the concepts about which you are reading.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said: “It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”
When you are able to maintain your own highest standards of integrity — regardless of what others may do — you are destined for greatness. When you have developed a carefully thought out code of personal conduct, you will know what the appropriate course of action should be.
