Birth of the Opportunist…Death of the Company Man

Not long ago I had a conversation with an older group of friends who asked me about my latest job. Their question came across as a bit condescending because they know my philosophy is much different than theirs. See, every couple of years for the past several years I’ve taken a new job. To them, a much older generation, it’s taboo to take on new opportunities outside of your current organization of employment–they see it as a sign of disloyalty and lack of commitment. However, this is the reality of our day and age. I see it as being loyal to what’s best for me and being committed to progression.

It’s an old school world view versus a current one. Neither one is right or wrong, or better than the other, in general. However, I think it’s important to understand the differences between the two.

Conversations with Rob: Learning from a Multi-Millionaire (Final Chapter)

Hi Jk – I’ve enjoyed this joint-venture very much. I always receive accurate direction when I listen to the truth. Truth speaks a language that is natural to success. You speak a language that is natural to success. Thank you, Jk.

Accurate direction does not come from parroting good advice. It requires letting go of cherished opinions and theories that limited your outlook in the past; now there is truth (combined with feeling), in what you share. Real goodness comes from this kind of sharing.

Some members of your internet community were able to get involved in our conversation, really involved, Jk. And some stood on thecorner, casually listening, like you and I are passerby’s chatting. Those who really get involved are willing to give up their cherished opinions and theories in the name of personal Growth and Development. You can feeeel the difference in their comments. They are a gift to us, to themselves, and to the world…

Conversations with Rob: Learning from a Multi-Millionaire (Part 2)

This week we continue with part 2 of the series: My Conversations with Rob. If you haven’t checked out part one, make sure you do so to learn more about the series and also about Rob White of mindadventure.com.

The conversation below is a display of Rob asking me several questions (in black bold) and my answers (in blue). I ask that you also answer these questions for yourself to unmask your understanding on how you think about certain things and how they may affect you. Who knows…you may develop a millionaire’s mindset!

Hi Jk- I like the community that you’ve attracted to you on the internet. The Force of Harmonious Attraction, which is always in action and never in error, has proven its power once again. This Universal Force tells us the kinds of thoughts we entertain (it shows up in our lives as the kind of company we keep)…

Conversations with Rob: Learning from a Multi-Millionaire

I always thought if I had the opportunity to learn from a multi-millionaire, I would ask them all the questions in the world about making my bank account look like theirs. But what I’ve learned from Rob White is that financial prosperity is an effect, not a destination. It’s an effect of living the truth.

I’ve been in contact with Rob for just shy of a year. My conversations with him have helped me grow immensely, which has directly translated into growth in other areas of my life.

I share this conversation with you in partnership with Rob because I suspect that most people contemplate how to become wealthy. I also suspect that the traditional focus in successfully achieving financial prosperity is ‘business’ and not so much on self-improvement. I believe that without improving ourselves, the battle to improve anything else is highly unlikely.

How to Get to and Maintain a Higher Level of Motivation

With such treacherous terrains to maneuver through in life, we have to stay fueled from the right source in order to maintain a balance of motivation. And just as every car manufacturer recommends a certain grade of octane in order to properly power an engine; we have to properly power our motivational level with the right type of fuel. If the recommendation is premium grade, but a lower quality is used overtime, the engine will eventually breakdown. Fuel for motivation works the same way.

The Motivation for this Article

In recent weeks I’ve received a number of emails asking me for tips on maintaining a high level motivated. I find this question challenging to answer because I believe our motivation is driven by personal factors; what is important to me may not be important to someone else.
