How do you spend more time on things that creates value in your career or business? How can you be worth more?

There are certain careers where the multiplication approach is already inherent in that business.

A very good example I can give you is the insurance business or financial planning. If you’re a financial planner or an insurance agent and

you sell an insurance policy, you are paid a commission. Now that is what we call active income.

But the next year, your client will have to renew the policy, and when your client renews the policy you get a commission on that renewal. And on the third year, when he renews his policy again, again you get commission on that renewal. And on the fourth year, when he renews again you get a commission on that renewal.

In other words, you sell the policy one time and you get paid again and again and again and again and again. So your value is multiplied. In fact, insurance agents and financial planners, in their fifth year in business, 50% of their income is passive, it is scaled in value. That’s why there are insurance agents who make in excess about half a million dollars to $800,000 a year.

Another good example is the financial planning business, besides being an agent yourself, you start an agency and you recruit people within your agency. Every time that person sells a policy, you’ll get a commission on their commission. So again your value is magnified and multiplied.

Here’s my personal example.

There are many other trainers around in Asia, but one of the reasons why I’m paid more than a lot of the other trainers is because I create more value. A lot of trainers when they go out there and they speak they are just giving information and techniques.

For myself and the rest of our other trainers, we help people by touching them in different ways than just intellectually. We help people transform their own lives and we add a lot of value there

The next thing is scalability. No matter what you do, whether you are a chef, or feng shui master, you can scale your value.
Here’s an examples on fengshui masters. Most feng shui masters are never really wealthy, why? Because most of them only give one-to-one consultations, thus there is no scalability.

But there is a particular fengshui master called Lillian Too. And she is very wealthy. Why? That’s because she is able to magnify herself. She creates so much value for people. She does a lot more than what an average feng shui person would do. She knows where to focus her time where she creates the greatest value through writing books, selling, and providing consultations.

So as you can see through these examples, that only by multiplying and creating more value will one be able to achieve massive success in the particular business that they are in.

In December, I attended a two-day workshop on Manifestation and Abundance. It was a small group and part of the class included shifting beliefs and attitudes, especially ones that were beneath the surface, in the subconscious. Those deeper beliefs are harder to recover because they are not readily accessible through conscious thinking.

One of the exercises we worked with was asking ourselves the question, “What is it I really desire to manifest? ”

More money? A thriving business? Great vacations? A new car? Weight reduction? Vibrant health? A soul mate…..?

Imagine releasing the genie from the bottle and and given limitless wishes. WOW.

We broke into partners to support each other in creating our visions for 2009 (and beyond). What I chose to do was to close my eyes and ask my spirit to create my vision rather than to imagine what I thought I wanted. By inviting my spirit to create the picture of my true desires and having my mind step aside, I watched the vision take deeper form as my partner asked me questions. The clearer you are in what you wish to envision the better the Universe understands your desires!

My vision was very exciting. One thing I saw was sitting at a table with a line of people waiting to have me sign my new book. Their comments and feedback were high praises for the book and I could feel the joy of having accomplished what I intended when I wrote it. I can still feel that joy today because I know that the book is already written energetically and this year I will bring it into reality. (Giving myself a nudge on that one!) I also saw myself at peace and happier than I have ever felt in my life. I can still feel that too! It’s wonderfull.

While we visualized (sensed, saw with inner sight) what we desired to manifest, we were asked this question, “Was there any challenge or obstacle that came up in manifesting this desire?” In other words, anything that posed a potential roadblock? If there was, we were then asked, “How were you able to overcome, heal, resolve, transform (whatever word fits) that…….?” Those questions invited us to see what we might create in our future and showed us the path to overcome, heal, transform, resolve…whatever… before it happens. Have you ever looked at something in your past and said, “If I had known then what I know now….”

When you open to your inner wisdom and spirit and shift into a higher state of consciousness, you can develop the ability to tap into answers that affect future creations.

What are some keys to magnetize more good stuff into your life?

Here are a few:

1. Gratitude. Bless everyone and everything even if it is undesired. Look for the blessings and gifts in each experience that invites you to remember who you are. Anger, fear, judgments, resentments create blocks to flow. Genuine gratitude transforms negativity and fears and magnetizes good to us.

2. Embody the qualities of God. Unconditional love with everything and everyone you meet. When you find yourself reacting negatively, ask yourself, “What would love say?” Love is our true nature. Cultivate a loving, compassionate heart and attitude. You’ll see your life blossom.

3. Shift non-serving beliefs and attitudes that create constriction in your life. What you put your attention on, manifests even if is unconscious. Getting to the heart of subconscious beliefs can be tricky because of our conscious mind. Hypnosis and Theta healing are two highly effective modalities to transform beliefs and programs at the subconscious level.

4. Extend a hand to others. The UnitedStates was originally founded on the message of Brotherly Love. If you believe that we are all connected as part of the ONE, as I do, then you know that when we help others, we also receive the gifts. Look for opportunites to be of joyfull service to those who would benefit from your support. What goes around, goes around.

5. Follow your intuition. Listen to the nudges and whispers that come from within. Take time for meditation and spiritual practices that reconnect you to The Divine. The Universe is conspiring in your favor to help you have an abundant and happy life. Bring your instincts and intuition into your business practices.
