Social Media is a Game Changer, especially for small business owners, but do you REALLY know why? There is a ‘Game Behind the Game’ – and it’s being played by Forward-thinking Entrepreneurs who will lead their industry in this 2nd decade … and beyond.
Social Media has brought business owners out of isolation and into community. Friendships are being formed and fun is being had by all … BUT … it is NOT the fun and frivolity, it’s not the market reach, it’s not the fame building and it’s not even the conversation and community that makes Social Media a Game Changer … IT IS THIS …. it is COLLABORATION! Collaboration of minds with a common purpose to solve a problem and assist a person to move forward.
Dr Napoleon Hill, author ‘Law of Success’ and ‘Think and Grow Rich’ assessed and taught the power of Masterminds for business people nearly 100 years ago. Today, his principles and process are being used by solo entrepreneurs and small business owners to move forward faster and easier than ever before.
Hill describes the power of the Mastermind as: “The Principle of What You Can Accomplish In One Year, using the Mastermind, is More Than You Can Accomplish in a Lifetime, if you depended entirely upon your own efforts for success.”
Napoleon Hill also says “Borrow and use the education, experience, influence and perhaps even the capital of other people to carry out your own plans in life.” In collaborating with a Mastermind, you can build your business and the business of co-masterminders but more importantly, you can drop the barriers of competitiveness and secretiveness and build trust and collaborations that propel all members. Here Napoleon Hill further explains the nature and facts of the Mastermind that any entrepreneur in any business - include entertainers can use this powerful format for greater, quicker success:
During his presentation, Dr Hill talks about Kate Smith - a singer you may never have heard of (died in the 70s). She could barely pay the rent from her performances, until she discovered the power of the mastermind … to collaborate and gain support so she could move forward quicker and easier than ever before with the help of Ted Collins. She was reported as earning over $30 million dollars, that’s alot of money today, let alone 80 years ago! (A true leader for all entrepreneu, especially female ones to follow.)
Husband and wives, like Henry Ford and his wife can Mastermind to move each other forward faster. It was Mrs Ford that inspired Henry to move forward in creating his ‘horseless carriage contraption”.
TO BEGIN YOUR OWN MASTERMIND, here’s the guidelines from Napoleon Hill:
1) Decide definitely where you wish to be and what you wish to be doing during the next 3 years
2) Decide how much money you desire to be making and what you are going to do to earn it.
3) Form a Mastermind alliance with at least one person in your immediate family and at least one other person among those to whom you are selling your services.
4) Heed Napoleon Hill’s advice about your Positive Mental Attitude – the one and ONLY thing over which you have total control!
Success is something that has to be planned and Success is something that has to be earned in advance.
“Success is the knowledge with which to get whatever you want in life from life without violating the rights of others AND by helping others to attain it.”

Jennie Armato and Sharon Lecther celebrating Dr Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.
Jennie Armato and Don Green, Executive Director of Napoleon Hill Foundation celebrate Dr Hill’s work.
In the above presentation that I made to Pete and Dave’s audience, I talked about Napoleon Hill and his Law of Success.
It was his life’s work investigating the components and processes of success, abundance and wealth. From all of his research, Dr Hill developed 17 Principles of Success. Principle 1 is “Definiteness of Purpose” – the starting point of all achievement. He says firstly - find out what you want, then find out how to get it and then do what you have to do to get it.
You may wonder about and even be inspired to start transformng your business and your life right now! If so, you will have this question … how and where DO I start?
“Transforming your business and your life - through empowering and educating your clients to solve their problems and improve their position in life is a great place to start.”

In the words of Mahatma Gandhi (who’s life is celebrated today) “YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD” … he transformed lives with this thinking.
This is a tribute to great social and cultural leaders including YOU – who continue to THINK DIFFERENT too. Dont be afraid to be a Rebel or a Mis-fit, because that’s HOW You Can make change. People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. Salute ……
“Power based on Love is 1000 Times More Effective & Permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment”
Leaders need to think differently and Mahatma Gandhi definitely did that. This a tribute to all who think differently, and in particular Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, a pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian Independence Movement. Born 2 October 1869 – Died 30 January 1948 and renamed Mahatma Gandhi due to his great sage soul.
“Mahatma” is a Hindu term of respect for a Brahmin (member of a social and cultural elite) Sage – A Leader of Leaders if you like. Gandhi was called a Mahatma as a reflection of his great soul and the respect held by millions around the world, including many other great leaders. Gandhi was killed by another Hindu Brahmin, Nathuram Godse. He shot Gandhi 3 times at close range because he believed Gandhi was betraying India by doing negotiations with Pakistan to try and stop the war.
Here is a snap-shot presentation of Gandhi’s core philosophy – The Philosophy of Non-Violence:
“An Eye for An Eye Leaves the Whole World Blind”
Gandhi was a practitioner of non-violence and truth, and advocated that others do the same. He lived modestly in a self-sufficient residential community and wore the traditional Indian dhoti and shawl, woven with yarn he had hand spun on a charkha. He ate simple vegetarian food, and also undertook long fasts as means of both self-purification and social protest.
The United Nations declared October 2nd (Gandhi Jayanti) as International Day of Non-Violence. That is the impact one person can have when you think differently and devote your life to transforming the lives of others.
Even Google Celebrate the Legacy of Gandhi.
Here’s What Martin Luther King, another great Leader of the modern era said (briefly) about the impact Gandhi had on his life:
Aggression draws violence, even in our words. Think Differently next time you are provoked, especially online in a social network or alike or by email. Here’s to a Peaceful World, you can start by bringing more peace to your ‘world’ and to the people around you.
And again in the words of Mahatma Gandhi “Outward Peace is Useless Without Inner Peace“.

Confucius is An Ancient Chinese Teacher, Social Philosopher and Great Sage Who Still Impacts Life and Business Today.
28 September – China Celebrates his life, his work and the work of all teachers (coaches and mentors) too.
If Napoleon Hill is the “Father of Great Success”, then there’s no question that Confucius is the “Father of ALL Great Teachers” and ran the Best Life and Business Coaching Program … EVER! Dont know much about Confucius? Start with this mini documentary, it will enlighten you … if you have a general idea, skip it and read on …
Today, thanks to the internet, many great teachers, educators, coaches and mentors like you are able to share your gift with the world, using your web business as a base for your global message of empowerment and education, in your expert field. On 28 September each year, China celebrates the birth of Confucius and in line with celebrating this great teacher, they celebrate the work of all great teachers of the world.
Throughout my development as a teacher, coach and mentor in my web business coaching and mentoring program, I have referred to the thoughts and wisdom of Confucious many times – usually in those times of need - where I’ve sought guidance greater than that which I can give to myself. I am a controversial person at times, I have never been afraid to speak my mind and to speak out when things and people appear out of alignment with intentions of goodness for people. This has, as you may well imagine, bought me many great allies and also some enemies – something I really prefer not to do, but then I battle with being in the knowledge of ill-intention and not taking action. It’s in these moments of confusion – (do I speak out or do I transcend the issue?) – that I have sought the clarity of Confucius and Confucianism.
Here are the basic values of Confucianism that you can use to guide you as a teacher too:
Mercy … Righteousness … Courtesy … Wisdom … Faith
It is on contemplating and reflecting these values that you are able to keep your intentions and actions in alignment with goodness for all people. I find these values also help you to ‘Let Go’ and let it be. Helping oneself and others at the same time, by referring to these values, is characteristic of the “worldliness” of Confucianism and Chinese civilization. I hope you adopt this course of ‘counsel’ and refer to them too.
To further help you continue to empower and educate people around the world, using the power of the internet and the best coaching program ever invented (Confucianism), here are eight of my favorite Confucius quotes that make an excellent representation of the attitude, approach and actions of a web business owner and teacher. (Who would have known something written so many thousands of years ago would directly reflect with relevance to how we live and do business today!)
Eight of the Greatest Quotes of Confucius, the Social Philosopher and Teacher that work perfectly for Web Business owners, Teacher, Coaches and Mentors today:
1) If you enjoy what you do, you’ll never work another day in your life.
2) Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
3) Respect yourself and others will respect you.
4) The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions.
5) When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
6) Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes.
7) He who will not economize will have to agonize
8) I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.
… and I thought this one was an excellent ‘Life Success and Happiness’ quote, for those moments when things dont go well with someone else and you really need to let go …
“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”
… and finally, this from Confucius:
“To be able under all circumstances to practice five things constitutes perfect virtue; these five things are Gravity, Generosity of Soul, Sincerity, Earnestness and Kindness. ”
Hey, as a side point of interest, even Google Salutes Confucius on this day to celebrate his teachings, work, impact and leaderdship. It’s their way to make a tribute – by adding his picture to their logo for the day – that’s pretty cool and perhaps representative of the philosophies the people of Google work to align themselves with too. If that is true, what an excellent example of their leadership (rather than domination).
Google Celebrate Confucius too
To all educators teachers, coaches, mentors and people that empower others around the world … I wish you ”Happy Teachers Day”.

What I’m about to present to you is not easy to understand or accept. It will probably hurt your heart at first. When I first saw this story, I was totally heart broken. I sat at my desk crying out loud, it was really tough to watch – my heart was physically hurting. Then there is an AMAZING follow up story that shows you where there is love, there is hope … and Love Transforms Lives!
You and I see very little of the pain and suffering that true isolation can bring, especially to children. This mini movie will open your heart, maybe in a way you were not prepared for it to be opened … but PLEASE watch on for how the power of people like you and I can and does transform lives. What you’re about to see will give you that added inspiration and insight to help you transcend your challenges … and change your life, so you can change the lives of others.
The Heart-breaking Story of Sam and Esther and their big sister Jane
Love is all that Matters … Where there is Love, There is Hope (Follow Up Story)
Love Transforms Lives … Big sister Jane Sings and Celebrates “You Changed Our Lives!”. No matter your religious orientation, this little girl is living a new life thanks to the love of people like you and I:
WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER ….
TRANSCEND YOUR CHALLENGES SO YOU CAN TRANSFORM LIVES!
USE THE POWER OF THE INTERNET TO SHARE THE GIFT YOUR BUSINESS GIVES, SO YOU CAN GIVE THE GIFT OF RELIEF AND JOY TO OTHERS TOO.
In 2010 I have the honor and privilege to educate, empower and share the power of the internet with entrepreneurs in Namibia – those capable of accessing opportunities like you and me. It will be my hidden agenda on that trip to affect people around the world with stories and opportunities for you to be “the big sister” (or big brother) of children like Sam and Esther. Get focussed on solving your own money and life issues, so together – you and I can be the change we want to see. We are all in this together …

Increase the Power and Influence You Have in Your Web Business, with Your Family and in Your Life by Engaging in thoughts that Validate you as a business, family and community leader.
Isn’t it true that the people around us, who care for us and support us often see our Greatness easier than we do?
I know it has taken years to really believe I am worthy of my success (yes it’s true). I AM a slow believer, no doubt about that but it was more to do with the inner dialogue I had (and in some aspects of my life still do have) that controlled the amount of Influence and Power I’ve been able to bring to my business, family and life. Chances are you can relate, maybe just a little, to what I have experienced as I’ve transcended my challenges and transformed my life. This is something I wanted to share with you – and bring to front of your mind – IS the dialogue you’re having in your own mind Validating you in ways that really work for you?
We really do rely on the validation of others, more often than we may realize – and others rely on your validation too. Everyone wants to be loved, accepted and supported and VALIDATED in some way by as many people as possible. We can often self-sabotage our success when the Validations we are getting from ourselves and others are negative. It is true that we need to surround ourselves with as many people as possible that will Validate us in ways that are uplifting and weed out those that affect us negatively.
I found this FANTASTIC short film, all about Validation, infact it’s called VALIDATION. I urge you to take 15 minutes RIGHT NOW and watch it. The message is most uplifting and the experience will make you more powerful and meaningful with your positive mental approach to validating yourself and others – and the shift will happen INSTANTLY. You’ll immediately approach your work, your family and yourself with a view to empowering and inspiring yourself and the people that you love and care about that are around you.
“Validation” is a fable about the magic of free parking … and a whole lot more!
We dont need a parking attendant for Validation and we cannot count on finding one each day. In other words, we cannot expect other people to validate us unless we validate ourself first (love for self). Here’s a 3 minute meditation to celebrate YOU – YOU ARE AMAZING! That’s all we need each day, 3 mins of validation by meditation. Please take that 3 minutes now and reflect on the Brilliance, Influence and Power your possess – to transcend your challenges and transform your life – by helping others do the same too. ENJOY!
I also found the lyrics to a great song about Validation of yourself and others, no matter what’s happening between two people. I’ve posted them here for you to print out and stick on your wall or carry with you. Also bookmark this page so you can come back anytime you want a ‘quick lift’ – you’ll get back on purpose for you and disconnect from any negativity surrounding you.)
You Are Amazing
(Alex Lloyd)
when all you want to do is rock, but you don’t want to bear the sock no more
when it’s just sweat that fills your eyes, Belated feelings that you have denied
when every wolf is at your door, just like a hundred times before
but you don’t want to leave the end
cause you were amazing, and we did amazing things
and I wouldn’t change it, cause we were amazing things
rebuilding bridges in your mind, your eagerness now is on the line
the plastic mountain at your feet, divided streets now as you look to find a seat
when every wolf is at your door, just like a hundred times before
but you don’t want to see the end
you were amazing, and we did amazing things
and I wouldn’t change it, cause we were amazing things
and I really didn’t want that push today
no I really didn’t want to end this way
but the things that seem to bind us
are the things we put behind us on this day
you were amazing, and we did amazing things
and I wouldn’t change it, cause we were amazing things
——————————————————————–
My final thoughts about Validation belong to preserving the best you – whereever possible, take the ‘higher ground’ in emotional issues and walk away if you can (I know it’s not always easy) but some fights are worth avoiding. Few fights if any will add value to validating you! Sometimes, it is better to extend a genuine apology, let it go and move on – even if the other person does not.
Remember, YOU ARE AMAZING! Live by that every day and watch your life and the lives of those around change – for the better!

July 10 is International Happiness Day – A day to remember to celebrate your state of happiness as often and as fullsomely as possible.
No one wakes up thinking …
“May I suffer the whole day”
What is happiness, and how can we all get some? Buddhist monk, photographer and author Matthieu Ricard has devoted his life to these questions, and his answer is influenced by his faith as well as by his scientific turn of mind: We can train our minds in habits of happiness. Interwoven with his talk are stunning photographs of the Himalayas and of his spiritual community.
Here’s a short story I prepared on this blog post to celebrate Father’s Day – a symbolic celebration of being someone’s dad. Fathers Day is celebrated at different times in different parts of the world. BUT this is not just or only about Fathers, what I’m about to share with you is about experiences of children (and that’s all of us) – we are all children of our biological and/or adopted parents. This is one common thread we all share along with the lasting affects of these relationships.
Our experiences in childhood really do seem to impact our thoughts, feelings and behaviors in our adulthood and depending on your own personal ability to process, embrace and erase those elements that have the greatest impact will directly affect our beliefs and decisions as adults. It’s a complicated topic and one that can bring up warm, loving and dark, hurtful memories and that’s something for the Pros to talk about really, not me.
What I want to share with you here is the greater awareness of our words – written and spoken and the impact they can and do have on others, especially children. It’s very easy to forget this and say things in a defensive state or perhaps as a deliberate attack on someone. Especially as parents, it’s incredibly easy to snap or go off at a kid going on and on – I remember my own parents – they had immense patience with me and my brothers but occasionally my mum would snap and we’d run for the hills! Understandable and forgiveable but it doesnt hurt for all of us to take a moment and reflect on the wonderful opportunities and experiences we are given and learn to control our words, live for the enjoyment of the present – it really IS a gift … and enjoy children, especially when they are exploring their pleasures and feeling fulfillment in their lives.
Have you seen the movie ”The Pursuit of Happyness“? (Yes spelt with a ‘y’). It stars Will Smith and his real-life son who play a father and son in the movie. Here’s a scene from the movie where the father forgets momentarily, the power of his words and the impact they can have on others – and maybe even ’steal their dream’ (it’s very touching so be ready) …
“Dont ever let somebody tell you you cant do something, not even me
….. You got a dream, you got to protect it!”
Maybe someone close to you - your parent/s, a sibiling, relative of influence or maybe a teacher once told you that you will never be good at ‘it’ … maybe you’re hearing that now as you pursue your ultimate lifestyle by building a profitable and sustainable web business portfolio. Maybe you’re being affected by it so strongly that YOU have started to believe it too!
A few terse words from someone that matters to you can impact your life for a long time and if you dont have dreams bigger than the ’drama’, you will probably give up … what else have you got? It seems the EASIEST thing you’ll ever do is believe someone else’s negative perception of you and give up!
As I’m writing this, I am personally experiencing a very difficult time from some people in business that is hurtful, absolutely un-necessary and is designed to affect me negatively. It’s not easy to let that kind of deliberate anger and fear on their part blow past you, but I know I have to BE bigger than the drama and not let someone else steal my dreams.
(Sharing that with you has made me quite emotional and I feel like a goof sitting here at my computer with the tears in my eyes blurring the words on the screen as I type but I want you know, EVERYONE has someone that can steal your dreams – IF YOU LET THEM!)
NO MATTER WHAT, it IS your birthright to complete your human journey to fulfillment and happiness, no matter what anyone around you says – we can choose to concede, we can stand and ’try’ to resist or we can connect with our inner truth and move forward … no matter what … and do it with the belief and bewilderment of a child. The Pursuit of Happyness, no matter how it’s spelt is a journey you should never want to stop being on.
Maybe you are like me, not perfect, maybe you make mistakes, maybe you say things that (even if you didnt know it) rob others of their Pursuit of Happyness … the journey of discovery and fulfillment is always about being the “BEST YOU … YOU CAN BE” … that’s all anyone can ask of you and me.
Here’s a great song from Coldplay, it’s a 3 minute meditation FOR YOU, FROM YOU. I have just played it to myself and it’s a wonderful way to reconnect with yourself and understand you really can Do it, you really can Have it, you really can Be it!
The song is set to highlights of the movie and I’ve included the words below so you can follow them, sing them, print them, share them, enjoy them!
“Fix You” by ColdPlay
When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
And high up above or down below
When you’re too in love to let it go
But if you never try you’ll never know
Just what you’re worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I…
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I…
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Sometimes when things dont go quite to plan for me, I have actually stood in front of the mirror and talked to myself and said things like “You CAN Do This Jennie”. Of course we cannot fix others, it’s their journey and their pursuit that will help them grow. Enjoy YOUR journey – Your Pursuit of Happyness (You can Fix You as you Grow).
Oh, Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there and Happy YOU Day too!

Enjoy the Space that Comes with Giving Up and Letting Go … Align Yourself with Love, not Revenge!
If you don’t ‘let it go’ you will never grow.William McMullin
There’s a great ‘Wealthy Life’ Motto I just love, it’s helped me move through challenges with people both personally and professionally (coaching and mentoring can be challenging at times). The Wealth Life Motto is “If you dont have anything valuable and helpful to say to or about someone, best you learn how to let IT go.” (IT being whatever YOUR issue is with that other person – YES, it’s YOUR Issue.) I know that’s hard to hear but it’s true. The moment YOU let it go, it exists no longer for you.
We can make ourselves emotional wrecks and labour over experiences that happened years, months, weeks and even days ago. These experiences can bring you nothing but an inner misery. Now for some people, that might be what they actually like – you know there’s comfort in familiar experiences. Life for them is a series of inner misery experiences, because they have never learned how to LET GO!. BUT IF YOU REALLY want to live an Extraordinary Life, a Wealthy Life, then you gotta behave like an extraordinary person and learn to let it go … with love.
Here’s a quick insight from one of my favorite Mentors and Authors, Stuart Wilde. Here he talks about people (you and me when we’re angry) being like a Swamp Monster because we refuse to “Let It Go”. “If I fight with you … we both get held back ….”
(Turn up the volume, he speaks very softly … and his point is made right away. I had to replay it a few times to catch the first few lines.)
Have a disposition of COMPASSION and TENDERNESS for Yourself and for Others
… an act of Peace and Forgiveness … and Self-Love
Letting Go is NOT Easy for many people – they can spend years angry and unforgiving – and of course attract more of THAT kind of experience in to their lives. I think alot of people make themselves sick, mentally, physically and emotionally with anger. Sometimes we ’pick fights’ for the sake of the fight, when you could just move on. (I know I’ve done it.) We’re a funny lot aren’t we … wonder what we look like as a species being ’studied’?
It’s time to lift a weight off your shoulders, your mind and your heart … and Let It Go, with Love. Teach Your Children by how you LIVE, not by what you say.
Here’s a process I have gone through personally to find forgiveness for my own mistakes and my perceived mistakes of others, to help me and them Move On.
I imagine a small version of the person and that they are floating in a bubble just touching the palm of my hand at around eye level in front of me. I then take a few deep breaths in and out and as I’m inhaling and exhaling, I’m saying to myself “I’m breathing in love for me, I’m breathing out love for you“. I do that a few times. Then on an outwards breath, I blow onto the bubble and the person to ‘float’ them away from me. I do it with a genuine smile on my face and I say these words to myself “I let you go with love” and like watching a helium-filled balloon disappear in to the distance, I watch them being blown away until I can see them no more.
I do this whole process when I am alone and feeling like I would like and could do with some more self love. This is particularly evident if I’m awake thinking about someone or something or I’ve driven home mulling over a bad phone call or situation. It brings an inner peace and love and puts a smile of contentment and love back in to my heart and my face.
Unfortunately many people you encounter in your life will blame you, abuse you and accuse you – for their misery. A quick and easy process like the one I use can help you keep centered and aligned with love … for the sake of you and the people that really love you – let those that love you experience your true inner beauty and do not let the sum of what other’s misery might project on you to be representative of you. YOUR LIFE AND THE GIFT YOU HAVE TO SHARE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT!
If you cant fix it, LET GO … WITH LOVE and MOVE ON!

Even if it’s not International Womens Day today, Join me in making today AWESOME – I’m feeling INVINCIBLE ’cause I started MY day with this 3 minute Meditation – pick from the 3 versions … or play all of them … Join me!
COME ON … LET ME HEAR YOU ROAR!
Can you hear those applause? They are for YOU!
(Can you see the conviction in her eyes and voice as she sings “I am Strong …”?)
CRANK UP THE VOLUME AND BELT IT OUT BABY!! I’m singing it with you.
The United Nations declared 1975 ”International Year of the Women”. They chose this as the theme song. And it’s lived on for today’s younger generations of women too, who know you really can have everything you’ve ever wanted, because you now have the power to get it.
Imagine the ‘walls and blocks’ Helen Reddy and many other leading business women would have faced back 30+ years ago. We are alive at an amazing time for women – it’s up to each one of us to embrace our authentic power and beauty and share our message, through the love and energy women naturally possess and make, live and leave our legacy. And it’s equally important to support, encourage and empower one another. Our way, I believe, really can heal the world.
Notice the conviction in this woman’s eyes and voice (you’ll want that too) when she/you declares …. “I am Strong, I am Invincible, I am Woman”
Here are those powerful, meaningful words (print them out, carry them with you, stick them on the wall, remind yourself YOU ARE INVINCIBLE).
I AM WOMAN(Helen Reddy and Ray Burton)
I am woman, hear me roar In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an’ pretend
‘Cause I’ve heard it all before And I’ve been down there on the floor
No one’s ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes, I am wise But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price But look how much I gained
If I have to I can do anything
I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
You can bend but never break me ‘Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer ‘Cause you’ve deepened the conviction in my soul
Oh, yes, I am wise But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
I am woman watch me grow See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin’ arms across the land
But I’m still an embryo With a long, long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
Oh, yes, I am wise But it’s wisdom born of pain
Yes, I’ve paid the price But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong) I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman I am invincible I am strong
I am woman I am invincible I am strong I am woman
In 2006 Vanessa Amorosi (Australia’s No 1 Pop Rock Chic) honored “I am Woman” with her rendition as Helen Reddy accepted her induction into Australia’s (ARIA) Hall of Fame – notice Helen Reddy in the audience, bopping along on those high notes.:
Make “I AM STRONG, I AM INVINCIBLE, I AM WOMAN” as your daily, weekly, monthly mantra too, it will uplift, inspire and excite you. You really are STRONG and INVINCIBLE … You Are WOMAN!
HAVE YOU SEEN SEX AND THE CITY 2 YET? This scene of the girls in a Karaoke Bar in Abu Dhabi singing “I am Woman“ is hysterical … hope you get a great laugh from it too.
Let your inner “Samantha” shine brightly today!!
YOU are a Center of Influence, Power and Love …. YOU Are Woman!

Have You Ever Met Someone and Immediately You Feel Connected or Disconnected to Them?
Have you ever walked into a room full of people and without anyone saying a word, you sensed the mood? After receiving a warm hug, have you felt like a huge burden was lifted? You were experiencing the power of their energy (also known as Hado).
” The word ‘Hado’ may be new to our ears, but it has existed in the Japanese language for centuries. Literally translated, it means wave motion or vibration. Within the past few decades hado has been spoken of in the context of philosophy, science and quantum physics. More recently, the definition has expanded into the spiritual realm to express the healing properties and transformative powers of this life-force energy.” – Toyoko Matsuzaki
Hado is everywhere. It’s in you, your house, your office, your plants, your water, even your computer. And everyone and everything, including your pets, your wood floors, and the mug on your desk act as an antenna to receive it. After circulating inside the body or innate materials, hado returns to the atmosphere around you.
I want to introduce you to Dr Masuru Emoto, a Researcher based in Japan who has dedicated his life to creating hado experiences with water and photographing the condition of the water to compare its look when exposed to different energies or feelings, given to it by people’s thoughts and written messages they have prepared (and their energy or Hado).
Here’s a segment from a documentary called “What the Bleep Do We Know“ – it will shock and surprise you. In this segment, the power messages have on water is explained.
Dr Emoto says “Hado is the intrinsic vibrational pattern at the atomic level in all matter, the smallest unit of energy. Its basis is the energy of human consciousness.”
So what does this all mean to your web success and life? Well, there is intrinsic energy in everything that we do, including our online communcations.
People pick up on that energy and move towards or away from you. Just because you’re on the net does not mean your energy is not transmitted – think about that email you received that you did not like because of it’s ‘tone’ or that Facebook message that affected you negatively or perhaps positively. Well those words that you expose other people too are a reflection of your feelings, which connects to your energy or hado and you’ll either attract or repel people from your business depending on the state of your hado. It’s the unspoken word if you like.
Every time you commit words to the screen or paper in the offline world, you’re transmitting an energy and that energy impacts how other people will react to you. Working on keeping your energy well and restoring your wellbeing is so very important to helping you create the success you desire in your web business and your life. And so I wanted to share this news with you so you can learn and grow to take greater control of your Hado – so we can work and play together on the beaches of the world!
WHERE DO YOU START?
Firstly, connect with the idea of Hado in all things, including us. One of the best ways to connect with an idea that you can integrate in to your thoughts immediately is through meditation. I dont mean you have to lie down in a dark room or anything like that, but moreso to sit up straight in your chair, relax your shoulders, take 3 deep breaths in and out and begin a process of self control.
Then watch this beautiful video of the power of messages for water. It’s set to music and shows the crystallisation of water after it has been exposed to messages communicated to it. The contrast between the condition of water that received healing and loving messages versus those exposed to messages of hatred are quite astonishing, remarkable even – but more importantly, this could be a representation of the condition of water in our bodies, depending on the messages we are receiving (and giving).
Watch it again if you want to, it only runs for a few minutes. Come back here and watch it as often as you want to, you will become re-energized and realigned to your purpose of raising Hado for yourself and others and will cope better with the challenges life seems to be able to serve up to us everyday. Remember, our bodies are made up of majority water (about 90%).
We can impact the condition of the water in our body like we can impact the condition of water in a petri dish. This means Our Thoughts can Control our Physical Condition … and our Physical Condition affects our Emotional and Intellectual state, infact they cycle around and with one another.
As I grasped this concept and was willing to accept this was possibly true, I started to observe the impact my thoughts about myself was having on my physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. I also began to change the ‘tone’ and languauge used on my websites, I improved the underlying message of my words so they impacted better on people and I opened myself up … and even started using words like Love in my written communications and website (this did not come easy for me as containment of emotions was a protection mechanism I was using for many years – but of course only feeding the fear of rejection and judgement and in return, this reflected in a bad body condition). I opened up and shared … and people began to respond with their love and so I became part of the experience of an upward cycle of improved Hado.
Thanks to Social Engines like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and even this blog, I can (and you can) get feedback that’s pretty immediate about how our words are accepted by others and the impact our words have on them.
Something I learned that unlocked great riches in my life and I believe can unlock great riches in your life too:
“To improve your own life, bring positive change to others.”
Dr Emoto has brought positive change to my life (here I am with him in LA, October 2009), I know his work can do the same for you too.
I believe we can consciously program our mind to receive and then transmit to our body the messages we want it to accept. When we get our Hado for ourselves right, in our body and our business, we can start to help and affect others in a positive way, and they will respond by exchanging the Hado you provide for their money. In other words, people will want to do business with you because your Hado helps them — or if you do not look at aligning your thoughts in a positive way, they will repel your Hado.
