Is Your Mindset On Your Resolutions?

Jan-11-2009 By Barbara Zak

How are you doing with those resolutions you made almost two weeks ago?  Don’t feel bad if you’ve already botched your resolved efforts.  Many people give up, because they do not have the proper mindset.  It is key to achieving your goals and desired results.

I’m sure you know, you can have do or be anything you want in life.  But, do you believe it? We’ve been conditioned to think we can’t achieve or obtain the life we want.  So, we are left to wonder how do we get there?

The last resolution that I made and kept, was 27 years ago , when I quit smoking. I ate lemon heads when I wanted a cigarette.  It worked!  It was a lot better than that gum they had out then.  How is chewing something that tasted like you licked the ashtray going to make you quit smoking?  No Thank-You!

First of all,you need to know what it is that you really want.  Then get in touch with it.  Set aside some quiet time to meditate and take an inward journey.  Like the Bible says get to “know thyself.”  It is a learning process as well as a commitment, to train your mind to get in the proper mindset.  A proper mindset is complete with vivid visions and positive actions necessary to help you create the life  and desired results you want.

The Law of Attraction teaches us that like attracts like.  Whatever your thoughts are, you attract those thoughts into your life.  But, did you know your thoughts create your life? So, with that thought in mind, there is no room for negativity.

Resolutions, no…I don’t do that.  What I do is set goals, both long and short term goals. I put them in writing, and put them on a message board where I am sure to see them at least three times a day.  It gives me a sense of empowerment, when I can cross something off the list as an accomplishment.

Which brings me to a great example of accomplishment.  Did you ever ask yourself how President elect Barack  Obama, executed the most effective campaign ever created to win the election?  Well, obviously, he has the proper mindset, to have achieved the winning results.  I believe he used something like the five P’s, which are proper preparation prevents poor performance.  He properly prepared for the goal he set out to  achieve.  The outcome, the most brilliant campaign ever, lacking any poor performance.

Whatever, your choice is, resolutions or goal setting, understand that the process takes time and commitment to yourself.  Always tell yourself that you are worth whatever it takes, to get to where you want to be.  Be consciously aware of the steps necessary to creating change.  It is a process.  Take one day and one challenge at a time, and live everyday in the NOW.

Finally – A Company That Listens !

Jan-8-2009 By Barbara Zak

For those of us that have signed up already, the launch of Web Prosperity is filled with excitement.  As you may have heard, the pre-launch was supposed to take place on Tuesday, January 6th.  Well it didn’t.  Why?…. Because finally, there is a company that listened. They have given YOU more time to get involved…so, don’t waste it.  Here is what they had to say on January 6th:

Over the last 24 hours we have received a flood of emails asking, begging and pleading with us to extend the Web Prosperity Pre-Launch and continue to accept FREE sign-ups that are coming in like a flood.

You asked, we listened and responded!

We’ve made a decision to extend the Pre-launch by one week. The Web Prosperity Founders’ Launch will begin on Tuesday, January 13th at 12 Noon EST (9 AM Pacific, 5 PM UK, 6 PM Europe). Please mark this final date in your calendar.

As I am writing this, Web Prosperity has over 62,000 users with new sign-ups joining every few seconds. Yesterday we signed up a record of over 10,000 new Members and it looks like we’ll be breaking another record today! Our goal and my expectation is for us to reach 100,000 Members by our Founders’ Launch next Tuesday!

We realize that by listening to your emails and making the decision to extend the FREE Pre-launch by one week, Web Prosperity will grow by tens of thousands of Members. This will create more momentum for our launch on January 13th.

More sign-ups equals bigger commission checks for you and your entire team!

Please note that as of January 13th (12 Noon EST) *no* more free sign-ups will be allowed into the system. You will be able to lock-in and secure your free pre-launch position with a credit card purchase until Friday, January 30th the next phase will begin (WebProsperity Global Launch) when all unpaid positions will be flushed out and the matrix will be finalized.

Thank you for making WebProsperity such an enormous success!

Start the New Year right by becoming part of this great opportunity before it’s too late!

There’s Green Boots On The Roof !

Jan-3-2009 By Barbara Zak

Are you considering a career change or wanting to get in on the ground floor wave of “green” jobs that will be here to stay?  Then visit Boots on the Roof.  They offer various solar training bootcamps for electricians and entrepreneurs interested in starting their own solar business.

Boots on the Roof delivers top-quality market-ready training programs for solar energy industry professionals.  They are the solar energy training division of Unitek Education, a long-time national Learning Partner of high-tech companies (having received the highest education honors awarded by Microsoft, Cisco, Citrix, & RedHat).  Their team has a 16-year track record of successfully partnering with large organizations to train tens of thousands of students nationwide.

Here is some of the history of Boots On The Roof and where the company is headed.  They have spent several years investigating the green energy industry, especially solar, and were amazed at the wide variety of often-conflicting standards & practices in training, certification, and regulations.

So, they committed themselves to delivering courses that point to where those elements are likely to stabilize in the market, instead of teaching the “home-grown” information that has commonly been taught for the past 30 years.  Things are changing rapidly now, and moving towards standards & certification.

Boots on the Roof is committed to working with industry associations, manufacturers, installers, government, financers, and educators to implement solar power for businesses and individuals who expect stability, predictability, and return on investment.  They specialize in training the next generation of Solar Entreprenuers and successful business people.

The NABCEP ( the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitoners) has approved Boots On The Roof, as an educational institution and testing center.  By attending the 7- day Solar Bootcamp, you will learn and be given the NABCEP Entry level Certificate of Knowledge of PV systems exam.

The certificate was first rolled out in 2oo5 by NABCEP, and the exam certification process, was most recently updated in July 2008, to meet current energy standards.  It is intended to measure basic solar power knowledge of professionals entering the field in any capacity. It is not just for installers.  It demonstrates that the student has achieved basic knowledge, comprehension, and application of key terms and concepts of photo voltaic system operations.  A person receiving this certification is then qualified and suitable for a supervised entry level position with a dealer/installer or other PV industry company.  These skills in no way replace those that are learned in an Electrical Trades or Engineering program.

So, take a look at what Boots On The Roof can offer you, and start the New Year off  with a new “green” career.
