Finding The Right People

When it comes to Ad Hoc Committees, there is no such reality or question as to who are the RIGHT PEOPLE. The RIGHT PEOPLE are the ones that DO, and the WRONG PEOPLE are the ones that DO NOT. The RIGHT PEOPLE will help you or aid your personal or Committee's growth and development.

The WRONG PEOPLE can not, will not and DO NOT. However, finding the RIGHT PEOPLE is not an easy task. If it were, we would all be living in paradise on earth for real. In this blog post, we will discuss:

1. What Have Done By Forming An Ad Hoc Committee
2. How To Get Community Participation
3. Bayne Street's First Prototype Flyer


What Have You Done?
When you form an Ad Hoc Committee, you have automatically created a community action team. Depending on how you choose to use your Committee, you can accomplish a variety of different objectives. If you choose supplemental income; like we have done at Bayne Street, then, your activities should be designed to increase your earning capacity without interferring with Committee member's current source of income. By using your Committee to find supplemental income sources, your entire neighborhood can benefit. Participating members can increase their family's income without leaving their present occupations, and in some cases without leaving home.

Surely, you must know people in your family or community that are tired of being in debt, need additional income, want to have a better lifestyle for themselves and their families or find ways to cope with the rising cost of fuel and other necessities? Your Ad Hoc Committee can help these people. An Ad Hoc Committee can work with anyone that has a sincere and honest desire to improve a specific condition.

Using an Ad Hoc Committee to initiate a neighborhood or supplemental income project that will help your neighbors and community is different from any other format or concept you have been exposed to. Not only is this concept duplicatable, it can plug-in into other neighborhoods, community organizations, businesses, churches and anything else your Committee decides to investigate, improve or join as a single unit.
  • Your objective is to help like-minded others that need additional income plug into the system you have developed or solve community problems you have discovered.
  • Your workable method is opening your mouth and talking to people that have a similar interest or the same mind-set.
  • Your simple strategy is sharing information with as many like-minded others in your community as possible.
  • Your purpose for engaging in this activity is to solve a persistent community problem, achieve a specific objective or whatever else you decide by building a team of committed like-minded others. This program format helps you and it helps others.
By assembling an Ad Hoc Committee, you are developing a Collective Enterprise; which is the fastest and the most cost effective method by which human beings can succeed in worthwhile endeavors in the shortest possible period of time.

Any Collective Enterprise is a group of like-minded people working together for a common cause, to reach a common goal, improve a specific condition or change a situation for the better. The entire universe is essentially a Collective Enterprise. This planet we live on, nature, the vast majority of the people in any nation, state, or province have formed all kinds of Collective Enterprises.

From governments to scouting, and everything you can think of in between as well as our bodies are essentially Collective Enterprises. A Collective Enterprise increases its efficiency, proficiency and potentcy when it's organized, properly managed, directed and focused. An organized Collective Enterprise always works better and is more productive than individual effort.

The bottom line is Collective Enterprises work and it will work for your Ad Hoc Committee. All you have to do is invite like-minded people to participate. The only people you want to invite to your meetings are people that have expressed an interest in achieving similar goals and objectives. If you can open your mouth and talk, and put forth persistent and determined effort, your Committee will grow and succeed. The more like-minded people you talk to or people that need or want to improve their individual or collective circumstances or condition the faster you grow.


How To Get Community Participation

The absolute best way to get community participation and increase the size of your Committee is by talking to people in your neighborhood. In the event, you live in a community or neighborhood where people or isolated in enclaves to themselves, then a simple flyer will do. It is also best to name your Ad Hoc Committee after the street you live on or the subdivision you live in. This creates instant recognition and commonality.

Your flyer can be simple or sophisticated. However, the simpler, the better. Your flyer must state your purpose for being and how community residents can benefit by participating. Use the following as an example or develop your own.


Bayne Street's First Prototype Community Flyer



The Bayne Street Project
Ad Hoc Committee


With the cost of fuel & food rising,
we want to help ourselves and our neighbors
meet these new economic challenges.

Our objective is to help every family in our community
increase their income from $100.00 to $500.00 a month
or save $100.00 a month or a combination of both.

If you have a computer or access to a computer and want to join us in this project,

Call Lorraine Primrose At:
803-928-2681

Or George Sistrunk At:
803-534-6727

If These Numbers Are Busy...Call Our 24/7 Answering Service
1-800-331-1274 Extension 39125

Leave your name, phone number and best time to call.
Someone from the Bayne Street Committee will contact you.

Thank You.


When you develop your Ad Hoc Committee, understand there is absolutely no selling, arm twisting, misrepresentation of facts or enticement. You and your Committee members must conduct yourselves with integrity and honesty. This is essential for your credibility and the credibility of your Committee. You want your Committee to succeed, because success means duplication and expansion. Failure is not an option.

It is vitally important that the means, methods, programs and/or companies you use to increase income are based in your country. This is important for legality. You want your actions and activities to comply and conform to the spirit and the letter of the law. It is also important that you choose worthwhile and attainable goals if you are involved in a community improvement project.

If you follow these simple precepts, concepts, principles and procedures, you will have a prosperous group and your neighbors will thank you for it. When it comes to Bayne Street, the RIGHT PEOPLE are those individual families that want to increase their income or save more money to cope with rising living expenses. It is for this purpose (Ad Hoc) that we began to organize ourselves.

A Success Outline That Has Never Failed

Many well known motivational speakers, authors, and soothsayers from around the globe are very fond of saying, "Success comes to those that are prepared to meet it." NOT SO!! Success only comes to those who have done what is necessary to have it and paid the price to get it.

And...Success can only come when all the parameters, circumstances, and factors have aligned themselves in accordance with achieving your particular goal or quest. This might sound harsh and unfair, but, unfortunately, that's how it works. Let's go through the outline and you'll come to understand what we mean. And...while we are at it, we might as well, expose and destroy all the other myths surrounding personal, or corporate success, or achievement. In this blog post, you will learn the importance of:

1. Defining What You Mean By Success
2. Determining The Price You Must Pay For Success
3. The Common Law Of Business Balance
4. Determining What You Are Willing To Do
5. Asessing Your Strengths & Weaknesses
6. Developing An Action Plan & Implementing Your Plan
7. Identifying Objectives
8. Managing & Completing Objectives

I: Define What You Mean By Success

This is the Definition Step: Basically, what you are doing at this step is firmly and finally deciding and defining your goal or quest. What do you want to accomplish and; in our case, how much monthly income do you need? This should be a specific dollar amount, for Bayne Street, it's $500.00 a month. Clearly and specifically defining your goal or meaning of success is crucial to whatever you want to accomplish. This is one of the few steps that sooner or later, everyone that succeeds at something gets right.

Your definition of success might be different from Ed's, and Ed's is probably different from George's. Your definition is what success means to you...and this is a good thing. You might not need to live in a mansion, or earn a million a month to be happy with yourself.

Since we are only concerned with increasing income or saving money, we will limit further discussion to these specific topics. Increasing a family's income and improving their lifestyle are attainable and realistic goals. Defining clearly and specifically what you mean by more income is a major break through. More income to you might be $3,000.00 a month. For Lorraine, more income might mean a "Luxury SUV", for John, more income might be a new 5,000 square foot home.

What is your definition of more income? Or..How much more money do you need to earn per month to offset the rising cost of fuel, food, utilities and the cost of living? As stated previously, our goal at Bayne Street Business Development Ad Hoc Committee is to increase the income of participating families by a minimum $500.00 a month; either by saving them money or increasing their income.

In addition to the goals and/or objectives of your Ad Hoc Committee, you can have your own personal goal/s. Think about this long and hard. Be very specific, then write it down. There is a reason for this: Unless you can state clearly and specifically how much money you need, or what your income goal is, you will never achievement it. Why? Unless you and your Committee know where you are going, you will never get there.

Writing and/or typing your goal on paper, or your computer screen helps clarify your thinking, focus your energies, and helps you formulate a comprehensive vision of....

1. What you have to do..
2. When you have to do it...
3. How it must be done...
4. Where it must be done...
5. Who to contact to start getting it done...
6. Why it must be...and...
7. Now is the time to start getting it done....

When you achieve one goal, you can always set a new one. Living a life of setting and achieving goals is a very productive way to live.


II: Determine The Price You Must Pay

This is the Payment Step: Motivational and self-help material rarely ever mention this important step. The reason: This is purely a personal matter that has little or no mass appeal. No one really wants to hear about paying a "nasty", "ugly", price for his/her success. Just like the vast majority of overweight people don't want to pay the personal price to lose weight, the vast majority of people that want or need additional income, don't like paying the price to get it.

Until you and your Committee can come to terms with the inherent cost of reaching your goal/s, your goal can not be reached. You and/or your Committee are the only people that will know the price, because it's your price, and you are the only people that can pay it and must pay it; either individually or collectively.

The amount of sacrifice, what is sacrificed in terms of personal assets and resources, and sometimes who is sacrificed, (literally and figuratively) how often you make that sacrifice, the time allocations for reading, studying, investigating, experimenting, preparing, growing, developing, practicing-rehearsing-practicing, and delaying your satisfaction and gratification are just a few elements involved in the price you will pay.

What's even worse, every goal has a different price. If you can not or will not pay the necessary price for your achievement, then you absoulutely and positively can not have it. However, there is always the possibility that luck, fate, or good fortune will send a favor or two your way. Afterall, this is the primary method by which dysfunctional thinkers acquire wealth, and it is the only way, by which, they can stumble upon a fortune. Lottery and sweepstakes winners can attest to this fact.

The "so-called" role of luck, fate, or good fortune covers everything from games of chance, to meeting the right person, or being in the right place at the right time. Even though these happenstances have their role to play in life, they are unreliable as a means to prosperity for the overwhelming majority. When it comes to achievement of any kind or increasing your income, they have no role to play at all. No one will ever know the price you really paid for your achievement, not even those closest to you.

The Common Law of Business Balance prohibits getting something for nothing. Paying a little and getting a lot, and doing a little, and receiving huge rewards. Embodied in the law is the reality that you must pay for what you want. Genuine success, requires a genuine price. This is why it is not wise to be envious of another's success. Unless he/she is born or marry into great wealth or tremendous success, you will have no idea what price was really paid, or the circumstances that were involved in achieving it.

This is why it is critical to find an occupation, profession, career or an income program or opportunity that you will enjoy doing. As you progress toward your goal, the price you are paying will not seem like a price at all. In fact, you wake up every morning looking forward to the process. Whenever reaching a goal becomes toil and drudgery, achievement is either non-existent, substandard or marginal at best.
Don't ever participate in an income opportunity just for money. Find something about what you are doing that brings you joy, happiness, or a feeling of fullfilment or accomplishment. Otherwise, your ability to succeed at it will be slim and none.
This brings us back to you and your Committee. What is the price you are willing to pay to reach your goal/s? Think about this as deeply and profoundly as you possibly can. Your final decision will determine whether you succeed or fail.


III: Determine What You Are Willing To Do

This is the Reality Step: This is another area rarely covered by motivational professionals or success gurus. It is not profitable to tell the teeming masses that there are many things they can not have or will never succeed at, regardless of how motivated, enthusiastic, positive, persistent and determined they are to have it. Before you decide upon what you are willing to do, first determine, whether or not the goal you want to reach is attainable or right for you.

A positive mental attitude can be dangerous and unhealthy if it is not firmly rooted in actuality and reality. You can be as positive as like about jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet without a parachute. You can do it, but you won't live to tell about it.

For example: If you are a male or female, that is 4' 2" tall and weigh 80 pounds, chances are excellent you won't be playing basketball for the L.A. Lakers, football for the Dallas Cowboys, baseball for the New York Yankees or be considered for any other high profile professional sports team.

The price you are willing to pay, and what you are willing to do to accomplish this goal become irrelevant considerations. It is simply not going to happen in your lifetime. On the other hand, if you pinned your hopes and aspirations on riding the winning horse in the Belmont Stakes or the Kentucky Derby, you might have a better than average chance of making this dream a reality because of your height, weight and size.

The same holds true for income opportunities. Marvin's goal is an online business that generates $70,000.00 a month. He wants to accomplish this feat in 90 days or less. Is this goal attainable or realistic for him? Presently, Marvin can't afford to invest heavily in advertising, or afford to find others that are also willing to invest heavily in advertising. He can not even afford to go offline and bring people online. At this point in his planning, Marvin's goal is not realistic or attainable, regardless of what he is willing to do or how badly he wants to achieve it.

Setting and achieving goals require a heavy dose of reality. This heavy reality dose will always have a positive impact on your life and your plans for personal achievement. The diminutive male or female in our first example, could realize his/her dream as professional athletes in an entirely different sport. If Marvin paced his growth and expanded his business ventures over an extended period his goal becomes more realistic and more attainable.

In order to establish realistic and attainable financial goals, give yourself a heavy dose of reality. This will always improve your thinking and planning. Now that you know setting attainable goals based on actuality and reality is an important step in your fiancial success program, what are you and your Committee willing to do to achieve your goal/s?


IV: Assess Your Strengths & Weaknesses

This is the Personal & Group Assessment Step: Know your strengths and weaknesses. Know who you are and what you are. Know the talents, personal assets, abilities and capabilities of yourself and members of your Committee. The more you know about yourself and participating members, the easier it becomes to select programs and/or opportunities that are right for you, individually and/or collectively. Whatever you select should cater to your strengths and not your weaknesses.

For example: If you or members of your Committee are not good at demonstrating products, don't select an income program that requires in-home product demonstrations. If you or other members of your Committee are mechanically inclined, an opportunity of this type might be perfect for you. If you are good conversationalist, then programs that require people skills would be a good choice.

If you and/or your Committee members don't know very many people, and prefer to live your life in isolation or relative seclusion, then changes must be made, or all of you need to focus more on legitimate Internet based income programs, or select a different community based structure that suits your lifestyle preference.

Income programs that do not require frequent personal contact might be much better for you, than those that do. Regardless of what program/s you and your Committee choose, you want to be comfortable with what you are doing. Knowing what you and everyone else can do well or can not do at all are very important considerations. The bottom line is find income and/or savings programs that are best suited for you and your Committee, the way you are right now.

Since knowing yourself and your Committee are important to reaching your goals, what are your strengths and weaknesses? What abilities, capabilities or talents that currently exist within your Committe will help you reach your goal/s? What liabilities can hinder you?


V: Develop An Action Plan & Implement Your Plan

This is the Planning & Implementation Step: The reason why this step is called "Planning & Implementation" is because: "There is no need spending time, energy, and/or resources developing plans if they are not going to be implemented". To reach your income goal, you must implement your plan. Even a bad plan is better than no plan at all. The reason: Plans can be adjusted, modified or changed when and if needed. Besides, any human endeavor proceeds much better with a plan than without one.

In this section we are going to help you outline key aspects of your action plan, but before we do, let's review and recap what you have accomplished so far. By now, you should have a clear understanding of your particular mind-set.

You should know whether you are an "Empirical Thinker" or a "Dysfunctional Thinker". If you are an "Empirical Thinker", you will proceed through these steps with little or no difficulty, come to your own conclusions, do your own investigations, make your own plans, and go on to develop or participate in income programs that will earn the monthly income you need with little or no additional help or support.

If you are a Dysfunctional Thinker, you can change your mind-set at anytime. Go back to the Life Science section in our previous post and review the characteristics of an Empirical Thinker. Begin adding these characteristics to your life. Otherwise, you might not be able to overcome doubts, inhibitions, and fears. Many of you are probably still not sure of who you are, what you are, or where you are going.

Even though you are participating in an Ad Hoc Committee, and have access to this blog, you might not be sure what to do. You might still lack confidence in your choices, our methods, and inwardly, you might long for a program that will get you rich quick with little or no real effort on your part. If this is you, the only way to help you is to build your confidence as you proceed through these outline steps. Your confidence should be growing because of the positive steps you have already taken. You have already:

1. Joined or formed an Ad Hoc Committee.
2. Decided on an income goal for people in your community.
4. Decided on a price you are willing to pay to reach that goal/s.
5. Decided on what you are willing to do to achieve your goal/s.
6. Assessed your strengths and weaknesses and/or of your Committee members.

You might not realize it; but, these are all major accomplishments from where you were. You are now at a critical point in your Committee's and your personal development. If you and your Committee can not find the courage to act on what you have collectively decided for yourselves and others, have confidence in yourselves, believe in yourselves, and your collective ablilities to reach your income goal/s, then your goal/s; whatever they may be can not be reached.

Developing and implementing plans is not as difficult as you think. All planning follows the same basic outline and have the same basic elements.

1. The first thing you want to do is give your project a name. (This will help you stay focused on what you have to do, and it will help you explain your actions and activities to others. We named ours Bayne Street)
2. Establish a start date. (This is the day you will actively start working on your project. For the sake of this example, let's assume a start date beginning on July 7, 2008.)

3. Establish a realistic completion date. This is important. Give yourself enough time to work your plan effectively. (In this same example, let's assume an ending date on July 7, 2010.)

4. Re-state your goal with your starting time and ending time and how you will accomplish it. (For Example: Starting July 7, 2008 our goal is to increase our monthly income by $500.00 a month or save $500.00 a month by July 7, 2010. We will accomplish our goal by developing and implementing the following operational procedures.)
5. Devise operational procedures of what you will do and how you will do it in a timely and consistent manner. (This will help you stay on course and direct your ongoing daily or weekly activities.)
Your operational procedures might include, but are not be limited to the following:
  • Going to your home office or online virtual office for your business/es and learning all you can about the company/ies you are working with.
  • Thoroughly examing the support services your company/ies provide that will help you develop your business.
  • Reading and studying to improve your knowledge, skills and/or abilitiesyou feel you need it.
  • Setting target dates for specific activities.
  • Analyzing your local market to find more like-minded people.

Your overall operational strategy is your blueprint for completing your objectives and reaching your goal. Give this strategy serious thought. Revise it when needed to compensate for situations and circumstances you encounter that you did not foresee occuring.

6. Establish a work schedule. (Set aside time on a daily or weekly basis to work on your project.)

7. List the objectives that must be completed in order to make your goal a reality or complete your project. To complete your objectives as quickly as possible, it would be helpful to have a daily or weekly do list. Set a deadline to complete each objective. (Objectives are the activities and actions that must be completed in order to reach your goal or complete a project.)


Your objectives list may include but not be limited to the following:

1. Decide on a name for your business (if you want to go beyond an Ad Hoc Committee).
2. Get an Employer Identification Number (if you want to go beyond an Ad Hoc Committee).
3. Establish a business bank account, if you need one (if you want to go beyond an Ad Hoc Committee)
4. Decide on a legal structure {non profit, sole proprietor, corp, etc} (if you want to go beyond an Ad Hoc Committee).
5. Set an advertising budget (Committee or Legal)
6. Get a prospects list of likely people to approach or an opt-in list (Internet based only).
7. Find a hosting company (Internet based only).
8. Decide on a website or blog (Internet based only).

Sponsor or recruit our first person (networking enterprise) or complete our first sale (business enterprise). Establishing and completing objectives is an ongoing never ending process that involves, your spiritual, business, personal and family life. It can also help you amd members of your Committee improve themselves and how all of you relate and interact with each other and people in general. Self management by objectives is also a useful method to enhance personal and Committee strengths and improve or correct weaknesses.

Use the following formula to manage and complete your objectives

Start Date>>>Your Objective>>>State the Method Needed to Complete It>>>End Date

Below is an example of how this self management system works:

Start date: November 7, 2008
Your objective: Find products, services or programs that will earn or save participants $500.00 a month.
The method you will use: Investigate and research government and business programs that will accomplish these goals.
Completion date for your objective: March 7, 2009
  • Since objectives are relative and specific to a particular plan, and plans are specific to goals or projects. It is difficult to give you any real help with specific objectives in this section. We don't know how you have organized your business venture/s, or what your current lifestyle requirements are. Therefore, if you need help with your action plan.
  • Tell us about the goals or objectives of your Ad Hoc Committee. We will contact you by phone, regular mail, electronic mail or post it on this blog.

8. Divide your income goal or project into 30, 60, or 90 day intervals. (This will help you monitor your progress and measure your effectiveness on a regular basis.)

9. Reward yourself and Committee Members at periodic intervals when specific activities or objectives have been completed. This is necessary to deal with the ups and downs of daily life.)

If you like, you can write down the benefits you will receive from reaching your income goal. We prefer not to include this as a step, because we believe you already know the benefits, otherwise, you would not be involved in an Ad Hoc Committee that was formed to increase your monthly income. Some success gurus like to include "indentify obstacles" in their success programs. However, objectives are really only objectives to reached.

There are other elements you can add to your plans as well, but these are the ones you need to reach your income goal. Therefore, any steps, procedures, or guidelines that do not directly relate to accomplishing your goal are not needed, and should be discarded.

Your Mind-Set - The Key to Success Or Failure

Your decision to take action is emotional, intellectual, and spiritual, all at the same time. Emotional, because you have to overcome the fear of loss, which is greater than the desire for gain. Intellectual, because you have to use reason, judgment, common sense and rationality to arrive at your decision to take action.

Spiritual, because you have to have faith and belief in yourself and your abilities to manage and govern your resources, time, and talents. You also have to have belief in the income opportunity/ies you have selected, life, the higher powers that govern all creation and the future.

As you can see taking action is a lot more involved than you realize. The reason why so many people fail in business and at networking is not because of a lack of information, training, will power, resources, intelligence or the system. In this blog post, we will discuss:

1. Your Mind-set
2. Life Science
3. Dysfunctional Thinking
4. Empirical Thinkers
5. Free Will Vs Freedom To Choose
Your Mind-set

One of the biggest reason why so many fail is this: They never examine the knowledge they carry around in their heads or how they got that knowledge. If you don't have the right mind-set, it is much more difficult for you to increase your income by any means. Your mind-set determines whether you will succeed or fail in any endeavor.

The only people that don't have to worry about their mind-set are professional athletes and entertainers that work alone. They can survive on their honed skills and natural talents and the world will pay a premium to be entertained by them.

The rest of humanity needs to have the correct mind-set and continually improve the way they think, what they think, how they think, and their decision-making process. Using your mind properly is the only known method to realize success or achieve great wealth. Do you know what your mind-set is? Do you know what is the absolute best mind-set to have? If you don't, we will discuss the various mind-sets in "Life Science".
Life Science
Life means to exist, to have essence, or being that is characterized by metabolism, growth, reproduction, and internally initiated adaptations to the environment. Science is knowledge as to facts, phenomena, laws and proximate causes that are verified by exact observation, organized experiment, and correct thinking. Science can also be considered the sum of universal knowledge. "Life Science" revolves around knowledge.

Therefore, it is important to know and understand how one achieves knowledge. Nothing is more important to your success in business, and in life, than knowing the nature of your current mind-set, and which mind-set is the most beneficial to your personal growth and achieving your goals.

First: There is Mass Induced Knowledge: This is knowledge that comes from people around you and the mass media. If you are afflicted with mass induced knowledge, you believe something is true simply because everyone around you believes it is true.

Second: There is Theoretical Knowledge: This knowledge is explanatory in nature and remains to be proven by using the scientific method. The vast majority of the time, individuals whose mind-set is rooted in theoretical knowledge, think they have empirical knowledge because the academic community, government, and the intellectual community have given this form of knowledge credibility.

Third: There is Subjective Knowledge: This knowledge has no basis in fact, science, or reality. With the exception of Christianity, it is the primary source of knowledge and understanding used by all religions on the planet and totalitarian governments. And.. It is the most dangerous form of knowledge. If your mind-set is heavily tilted toward subjective knowledge, you believe something is true, simply because you want to believe it is true. This belief can be in anything or anyone without evidence or proof.

Finally: There is Empirical Knowledge: This is knowledge that comes from intelligent observation and experimentation. This knowledge is factual in nature, and generally comes from study, and piecing together various bits of information to form an objective view of reality. If your mind-set is firmly rooted in empirical knowledge, then you already have the highest form of personal knowledge, and your life should be filled with meaning and joy. If it is not, then your mind-set is one of the other three or a combination of them.

In reality, because of these 4 forms of knowledge, only two mind-sets actually exist. One is the mind-set of "Empiricial Knowledge". This is the mind-set of science, value production, true happiness, prosperity in all its manifestations, pleasure and meaning.

The other mind-set is that of "Theorectical Knowledge", "Mass Induced Knowledge", and "Subjective Knowledge". Millions of people live out their entire lives engrossed in one of these 3 forms of knowledge. As a direct result of these 3 forms of knowledge, millions lead unhappy, confused and unproductive lives, consumed with guilt, fear, and hopelessness.

These 3 forms of knowledge and the mind-set they produce can be grouped under one heading and called "Dysfunctional Thinking". These 3 forms of knowledge collectively try to recreate, evade, or alter reality by intellectual dishonesty, rationalizations, half truths; and in far too many cases, by out right lies, deception, misinformation or force.


Dysfunctional Thinking

A dysfunctional mind-set promotes the idea of using your mind to create reality; rather than using your mind to identify and integrate reality. Because of this, people become detached from their true selves and remain ignorant as to what is really happening to them.

Dysfunctional thinking is a disease that progressively undermines your capacity to think, identify reality, and live competently. It blocks awareness and can actually create physical diseases.
Dysfunctional thinking can make an intelligent person stupid. It can even open people up to irrational ideas. Dysfunctional thinkers seek to lay the blame for their failures on others, and on good fortune for their successes. The symptoms of dysfunctional thinking are dishonest communication, out of context assertations, and jumbled non-integrated thinking.

Dysfunctional thinking creates false realities, values, and value systems. People afflicted with a dysfunctional mind-set, seek external guidance for their lives. Their lives are not self directed. Many times dysfunctional thinkers and empirical thinkers have similar problems and concerns, feelings and thoughts. The difference is this:

An empirical thinker will take responsibility for his/her life, solve his/her own problems, and reject the idea that mind created reality can replace objective reality. Dysfunctional thinkers avoid responsibility, honesty, and the effort needed to identify and integrate reality. They make realities out of what they feel, think, wish, or want; rather than accepting the actuality of their existence.

Dysfunctional thinking can blind you to truth and cause you to create problems where none exist. You spend all your time focusing on symptoms, rather than causes. Thus, you can become increasingly more incompetent, immature, and irresponsible. As a result, you can't achieve or retain the major values of life, genuine prosperity or romantic love. And what is even worse, you will become increasingly more unhappy, lost, and confused the older you get.

A dysfunctional mind-set can cause you to live out your entire life engrossed in illusions, rather than reality. It can lead you to an irrational lifestyle, that only has scattered islands of happiness, and rationality. Dysfunctional thinkers always seek honesty in others, while they are always dishonest with themselves. They choose to deny or contradict nature because it is easier to live with lies and half truths, than with truth itself. Dysfunctional thinkers usually end up hating life; rather than enjoying the wonders of life.

A dysfunctional mind-set can make you long for an escape into a magical paradise. The nature of this paradise doesn't matter. It could be drugs, booze, insanity, or religious asceticism. Dysfunctional thinkers are limited, rather than expansive. Unproductive, rather than productive. Lazy, instead of energetic. Cowardly, instead of courageous. And when a dysfunctional thinker is involved in religion, for all the faith and belief he/she claims to possess, he/she is faithless, fearful and uncreative.

Dysfunctional thinkers generally end their lives as parasites in the system; rather than contributors to it. The vast majority of people that fail in business, networking, or any moneymaking system that will improve their lifestyle are primarily dysfunctional thinkers. Their own mind-set is their greatest obstacle to overcome.

If you have a dysfunctional mind-set, you must do everything within reason to change it. If you don't change your mind-set, you won't succeed here or anywhere else. The vast majority of people that are always looking to get-rich-quick are dysfunctional thinkers. The only known way for a dysfunctional thinker to acquire great wealth is by a game of chance; such as, a lottery, gambling, or any other game of chance. Sooner or later someone must win, and it is generally a dysfunctional thinker.
Empirical Thinkers

Empirical thinkers are rational, continually growing and evolving as human beings. They accept the personal responsibility to think objectively and act consistently to support themselves by producing value for others. They generally produce more than they consume, and earn more money than they need. Therefore, they become benefactors in the system. They live in concert with reality and in harmony with others.

Empirical thinkers strive to honestly integrate their thoughts and words. They also strive to integrate their actions with the objective reality they see. They seek to identify reality by intelligent observation and experimentation. Since empirical thinkers earn far more than they need, they never steal, deceive, cheat, misinform or mislead others to earn their income. They are constantly engaged in genuine value production.

Empirical thinkers do not live their lives by the dogma, dictates, principles, or opinions of others. As a result, they benefit everyone they come in contact with, and society as a whole. Unlike dysfunctional thinkers that find anxiety and unhappiness when they look within themselves, empirical thinkers find happiness, equanimity, peace, joy, and love.
Free Will Vs Freedom To Choose

For centuries, and even today, people mistakeningly believe GOD gave us "Free Will". GOD never gave human beings "Free Will". He gave us "Freedom to Choose". Even to this day, you can still choose him or reject him. Men and women have always had, and still have "Freedom to Choose". You can choose what you will or will not do or be.

"Freedom to Choose" determines the future of all human beings. Millions suffer from irrational choices made by a dysfunctional mind-set. So many have diminished themselves and their potential to live happy productive lives because of dysfunctionality. GOD has "Will". Humans have "Choice". Consistenly making the same or similar choices lead many to believe they are exercising a manifestation of "Will", which is not the case.

However, empirical rational choices allow people to live happily and productively and go far beyond nature's preset course. In fact, empirical choice is the only known method to achieve lasting happiness and prosperity. The choice between exerting effort or defaulting to laziness determines the course of all important human actions. There are 3 choices constantly confronting every human being.

1. Exert effort
2. Default to laziness
3. Act somewhere in between

The choice to exert effort or default to camouflagued laziness is the key choice that determines the character, competence, and future of every human being. These crucial choices must be made by every intelligent living person throughtout his/her entire lifetime.

This same "Freedom to Choose", determines the direction of every known human institution. This includes the movement of entire nations of people, and the ideologies they value as true and sacred. Unlike animals whose survival instincts and mechanisms work automatically, human beings can choose to exert effort, default to laziness, or act somewhere in between.

By exerting effort, you can acquire the ability to reason. Reasoning is the very foundation of intelligent life. This single ability to reason elevates human life above all other forms. Reasoning, thinking, and using your mind with "Freedom to Choose" is your only true survival mechanism and is the very foundation upon which is based.
The vast majority of people have replaced reason and rationality with dysfunctional non-integrated thinking. Therefore, it is impossible for the vast majority to grow and develop or acquire great wealth. You can choose the course your life will take wisely, foolishly, or not at all.

You can choose to participate in community wealth building strategies and moneymaking systems or not at all. The choice is yours to make. You have chosen to participate, and you have taken 2 major steps toward reaching your goal. Now that have you chosen the correct mind-set, a successful life is virtually assured, even if you don't acquire great wealth.
