Do Business In Your Bathrobe – At Home and in Hotels Around the World!

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”.

LOVE TRANSFORMS LIVES

Are you a fan of the writings of Napoleon Hill, like me and thousands of other people around the world?

If so, then add your comments at the end of this post so we can continue to connect, share and learn from his teachings.

I want to share a few of my experiences with his works and how they’ve influenced my life.  I believe it was my mind-set shifts and personal growth that enabled and allowed me to create opportunity and do “Business in My Bathrobe .. from Home and Hotels Around the World” (the name of this blog).

The fact that I used the internet and web businesses as my money-making medium is inconsequential, although it does resonate with me very well as it indeed fits with his teachings, but again, unless I changed the way I thought about life, myself, money, opportunity, peace, self-fulfillment and true happiness, the money (if I still managed to make it without a mind-set shift) would have been meaningless and I would have still been inherently miserable, even though I thought I was a positive, happy person … the truth was only revealed by working through the lessons taught by Napoleon Hill.

Firstly, I’d like to share this video, from Napoleon Hill that captures the very essence of transforming your life (by unlocking your spiritual forces) - to be where you want to be, do what you want to do and have what you want to have.  After this video, I have made notes about the Blessing and 3 steps he says you must take, so you will start benefiting immediately from the power of his work … Enjoy!

In this video, Napoleon Hill says we are given two sealed envelopes at birth.  We decide which one we want to open.

One envelope is labelled “THE RICHES  YOU MAY ENJOY IF YOU TAKE POSSESSION OF YOUR OWN MIND AND DIRECT IT TO ENDS OF YOUR OWN CHOICE   “. It contains these Blessings:

1)  Sound Health

2) Peace of Mind

3) A Labour of Love of Your Own Choice

4)  Freedom from Fear and Worry

5)  A Positive Mental Attitude

6)  Material Riches of Your Own Choice and Quantity.

The 3 Action Steps he tells you to take right now are:

1.  On a loose page, write down a clear description of your major desire in life.  The one circumstance or position or thing which you will accept as your idea of success.  (And remember before you begin writing, that your only limitations are those that you set up in your own mind or that you allow others to set up for you.)

2.  Write down a clear statement of precisely what you intend to give in return for that you desire in life … and then start in right where you stand now to begin giving.

3.  Memorize both of your statements – what you desire and what you intend to give in return for it and repeat them at least a dozen times daily and always end your statements with this expression of gratitude for the blessings with which you were gifted at birth.

and the Expression of Gratitude is:

“I ask not for divine providence, for more riches, but more wisdom with which to accept and use wisely the riches I received at birth in the form of the power to control and direct my mind to whatever ends I desire.”
