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.”

Wondering how effective I am as a Collaborator and Masterminder? Recent feedback (January 2010)

GULLIVER (Thor Sales WarLord) says: “OMG! The plumbers daughter from Altona breaks hearts and wins minds whenever and wherever I see her, what an INCREDIBLE day, thank you SO much for your ULTRA valuable distinctions – you made me a LOT of money today… Seeing someone years ahead of where I am – GIVING BACK with NO thought of gain, and giving SUCH pearls… Humbling. Awesome.”
Corinne Maunder says: “Hey jennie, well i’ve been thinking what I can write to you that will truly let you know how much I appreciate your advice and caring words during Saturdays mastermind. But I’m a little stuck for the right words. Thank you just doesn’t seem enough! You really have a way about you. I felt so comfortable sharing ideas and problems with you because you made me feel so at ease. Thank you for your honesty when answering my tricky questions. I appreciate that so much. I’m so excited about the future and can’t wait to see you again soon. X”
Stacey Currie says: “Jennie I only met you yesterday attending Chen’s awesome mastermind group but man you are one knowledgeable women.

Tracey Habron says: “The mastermind yesterday was inspirational. The contribution of everyone made it really worthwhile. Not an ego in sight! Everyone contributed but Jennie, you have a level of contribution that surpasses most people. It doesn’t mean theirs is any less worthwhile, it is just that your experience means you can contribute m…ore and your generosity means that that you do. Your handling of sensitive ‘turn off the recorder’ moments was something to which I can only aspire!”
Calling All Web Business Owners, Internet Marketers, Web Designers and Programmers:
“Your Leverage Years are Here!”
If you’ve spent a week, a month, a year or even a decade like me on the internet so far, doing business in some way, then THIS could be the most exciting news going forward and building wealth on the web EVER for you.
We have just completed the first decade of successfully marketing and selling products and services on the net along with new and powerful ways to connect directly with prospects and customers … and more importantly, that technology developments have also allowed many of these functions to be fully or at least semi-automated.
Your experiences, both the good and bad, since you have engaged in any of these functions on the internet may or may not have given you the desired results you sought out. For many, that was enough to ‘quit’, to ‘give up’ – but unlike them, you continued. You have developed new knowledge, new skills and new experiences – and YOU are part of the pioneers who ‘were there in the beginning’ – the small group of web entrepreneurs that learned alot. You have experienced technological functions that make communications, marketing and sales easier - you have developed a whole range of experiences that very few people have actually got to do … yet!
SO, WHAT ARE THE LEVERAGED YEARS EXACTLY THEN? GLAD YOU ASKED! It’s a time for you to maximize the return on your investment made in developing your web business knowledge, skills and experience – and that time is NOW!
I’ve prepared a Special Message that will help you to better understand the leverage you may have ’unknowingly’ created.
Quotes from Jennie:
“The Internet and Technology have transformed the way we live, the way we communicate and the way we buy and sell. It’s an extraordinary time for entrepreneurs that have embraced this new frontier of business marketing, sales and customer relationship management.”
“Social Media Centers online are the Web Business Owner Media of the Future”
“Mobile Devices such as iPhones are the Communication, Commerce and Cash Registers of the Future.”
“Profit in Your Pocket = Learning How to Monetize Communication Mediums and Media … it’s not just about learning and doing because everyone else is doing it”
“You must be multi-faceted in your skills and with your products”
“The single most important personal skill to possess for future web success is ADAPTABILITY”
“It’s just not enough to rely on only Search Engines like Google or only Social Engines like Facebook or only Spender Engines like Ebay. Your future web marketing MUST be across all 3 groups, not just focused on Google, not only using Ebay and not spending all your time on Facebook – you need to learn about all 3 engine types for web success.”

The following presentation was delivered as the ‘morning-starter’ speech at the Crocodile Marketing Inner Sanctum Workshop held in Melbourne and hosted by Pete Godfrey and David McMahon.

Here are some photos from the day Think and Grow Rich was presented to me.
Here’s are a few pictures capturing the moments when I received my personally autographed copy of Think and Grow Rich from Sharon Lechter, Bob Proctor and Greg Reid.
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.”

This weekend it’s Fathers Day in the South Pacific region, it’s 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!

Many people, like you and me hear quotes like the one above and because we are never taught the insights I want to share with you right now in this article, we assume Conceive and Believe equals imaging success and ‘things’ and then if you’ve heard about “The Secret” (who hasn’t), you think (and rightfully so), “Oh ok, this relates to the Law of Attraction. Well in part you are almost right, but your ability to Achieve what you desire goes much deeper than that and infact, the process of Conceive and Believe actually has a physical brain and scientific aspect to it. And that’s what I want to share with you today – not just the Art of getting what you want, but the Science connected to it too …
“Your NECK-TOP COMPUTER is the single most powerful tool you will ever use to create the future you really want.”
Your Reticular Activating System is an Automated Filter for Your Brain.
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.”
