Where do you look for help and advice, when you decide to follow your creative dreams? The best advice someone like David Horvath will give you these days is, to get as much input as you can, and then not follow any of it.

He may also share with you his “scientifically proven method by the hour” of how to achieve your goals. And it would sound like this, “How you generally feel inside and what thoughts you generally carry in your head is what’s going to keep coming at you.”

More of this type of advice and why a “real” job with late hours, weekends and comfortable money coming in is a dream killer,  read in this David Horvath interview for SUBvertMagazine.com

1099095_smiling_pakistani_girlA speech can be interesting, informative and highly entertaining without being humorous.

Inspiration – It’s More Than A Good Idea!

It’s funny how the mind works. It loves making connections, detecting patterns and creating stories.

It’s the mind that generates inspiration – when the conditions are right. Looking at how we experience inspiration, there seem to be three levels. This brings me to a story of my own.

Recently I converted an old garden shed into a hen house. Most of the time, the project went well but every now and again I got stuck. What I needed then was some inspiration to lead me naturally to an elegant solution.

The technique I used was to form a clear vision of the end result I wanted and then leave the hen house and go and do something entirely different for a while. Meantime my unconscious mind would continue to quietly explore options in the mental background.

Are You Owning Your Gifts?

By Molly Luffy

So many people stay stuck where they are because they don’t value themselves fully. Recently I started working with a person – we’ll call her Susie – who has so many obvious talents and abilities. She’s smart as a whip and has an encyclopedic knowledge of a variety of interesting topics. She happily rattles off resources, ideas, tidbits of information. It’s very clear that Susie loves to help others and is always right there with some relevant information.

While Susie has many talents that are obvious to me, she has a difficult time recognizing them in herself. During a recent phone call I was telling her how much I appreciated her intellect and she started to cry. She shared with me that she doesn’t really feel that way about herself and struggles to appreciate her own qualities. I can certainly relate. There was a time when I struggled with my own gifts too, thinking they weren’t really that special.

But I’m over that, and Susie is on her way now, too. All of us have wonderful qualities that are unique and special. And we should lovingly appreciate ourselves for all of these qualities. It’s a delicate dance, though isn’t it? We don’t want to come off as an ego-maniac or a jerk by flaunting how great we are. But we also owe it to ourselves to heal the part of us that tells us to play small and undervalue our own gifts.

The world is changing every day. More, now than ever before, people are waking up and realizing that in order to make a difference and be their best in the world, they need to follow their soul’s lead and let go of those old beliefs about themselves that aren’t serving them anymore.

Susie is working on developing her own sense of self-love and appreciation. She understands the value that comes from this and is taking steps to live her life from this space. Are you ready to do the same thing? Are there qualities that others tell you they appreciate, that you can’t appreciate in yourself? Are you hanging on to past hurts or beliefs that aren’t serving you?

It’s time to let this all go. It’s time to get in touch with yourself, your gifts and let your inner star shine brightly. The world needs us now more than ever before, to stand in our power, to know who we are, what we believe in and be willing to take a powerful stand for those things that we care about. Loving yourself is the best gift you could ever give yourself – or the world.

“Integrity” Doing What is Right Even If Nobody Sees It!

Being a good person is not about doing the right thing because someone else is watching you, it is about always doing the right thing because YOU are watching. You must have that litmus test within your own soul that governs your ability to operate at a level that cannot be altered by the simple thrill of any unethical enticement.

Sometimes it is very easy to do the right thing. If you believe you will get some kind of credit or reward, for example, doing what is right comes quite easily. It is also not very difficult to do what is right if you are afraid that there may be negative consequences to doing something wrong.

Integrity is different. When you have a good sense of integrity, and allow it to be the leading force in your daily life, you will do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do. Instead of fearing the consequences of doing wrong, your own conscience will dictate that stronger drive of how much better the right thing feels to your spirit. You will not need rewards or praises, because how you feel about yourself is a wonderful reward in itself.

It should be easy to see how important integrity is in your life. It is also strongly related to how you get along with other people. When you are known to others as a person of good character who can always be trusted to do the right thing, your integrity will help other people respect you. It will enrich your relationships with the people who are in your life, and lead you to have a good reputation even amongst those who do not know you well.

When you live your life with integrity, you will also be a positive example, especially for younger people. They will know that you can be counted on to do the right thing, and they will want to be the same way. Children can learn how to be trustworthy by observing your behavior.

A strong sense of integrity will benefit you, also. When you let your conscience guide you to do the right thing in all situations, you will feel good about yourself. Even more important, you will have earned the pride that you feel. Instead of waiting for an opportunity to do the right thing, if you really think about it there are many such opportunities in your life every day. When your conscience is more important than fear or rewards, your integrity will be one of the best parts of your life.

The Heart Centered Revolution

By Suzanne Evans

Feel like you lost your calling in all this marketing madness? I know. In the quest to build our dream business we can sometime lose sight of the gift that fueled that BIG business dream. One of the best ways to attract clients and quantum leap your business results is to reconnect with the special gift. We can overwhelm ourselves with marketing information overload and find ourselves not living our purpose, not loving the work, and frankly… tired.

Here is my quick fix for the marketing weary! A mini revolution!

1) Check your message

What is it you are sharing with people? Are you clear? Are you sincere? Are you sharing the benefits of working with you and how you can offer solutions to people’s problems? But mostly, are you speaking from passion and your divine purpose? People can smell sincerity and they will know if you are not connected to your calling.

2) Mediate on your meaning

There are certainly strategies that allow you to market effectively, but all of them fail miserably if you have lost your meaning. Why are you marketing? Why are you using the strategies you are using? Why the language? Every choice in your marketing must reconnect with your meaning and the big mission you are on. Take a moment in your marketing strategies to pause, meditate, reflect, and reconnect with your meaning.

3) Ask more

We can not help anyone without asking. I try to ask 100 people a week to join me in my movement. 100 people MINIMUM. I started this business to help more people and I simply can not do that unless I am actively asking people for their business. You can not ask enough. You can not help too many people. It is your blessing.

4) Appearing as defeat

Recognize that the obstacles may well be opportunities. Napoleon Hill says, “We see men who have accumulated great fortunes, but we often recognize only their triumph, overlooking the temporary defeats which they had to surmount before ‘arriving’.” Our opportunity may not come in the package we had expected. Temporary defeat can blossom into great opportunities.

5) Make your mess Your Message

Tell more of the not-so-pretty stuff. Clients want to connect with your message. They need you to tell the whole story and not just the success parts. The greatest gift we have is empathy. Don’t hide your empathy to look “good” or “impress”. Your full story is the impressive story.

6) Become Hype Free

Are you sharing the best of you and giving away the good stuff? People don’t need hype and they certainly don’t buy hype. Check your messages, your language, and your marketing and make sure you are providing high content, high value, and the highest level of support.

7) Start a Movement

Your calling is your blessing to the world. It is not just an idea or a method… it is a revolutionary tool to make a difference. Don’t just market – find the grass roots calling inside of you and create a movement. You and your gifts are revolutionary – go big! Start a movement.

Business Speakers Boost Profits In Economic Downturn

By Mark Woodcock

Businesses need to be innovative in order to succeed in times of economic distress, when consumers are more particular about what they buy, and high quality is no longer separate from value for money. Company leaders are looking for ways in which their organisations can be innovative to beat their competition, maintain a healthy income and make their staff feel as valued as possible. This is why business speakers are so high in demand, because they have the skills, knowledge and experience to influence employees at every level. The benefits of business innovation in periods of economic struggle last into times of recovery and so their long term impact should be considered as well. If innovative strategies can save you money in the short term but allow your company to grow later, you have a win-win situation.


There are several ways in which businesses can develop their practices. From changing your manufacturing, distribution, service or strategy you may find ways to do these things at a lower cost, which will be transferable when your business starts to grow again. Innovation has several knock on effects, from increasing your productivity and profitability, to forming new business relationships and reaching new consumers. All of these factors will outlast periods of economic hardship.

Business speakers can help your company in so many ways, all of which impact on each other. From team building to leadership exercises, customer services help and communication, business speakers make the employees of you organisation more open about new ideas and help them to take notice of customer suggestions. If your employees know how to listen to the market, you will end up delivering services or products that people will want to buy because they have a use for them. The perfect example is the mobile device industry. Smaller and smaller gadgets are able to do the function that four or five separate appliances had to do five years ago.

The format that you introduce your team to a business speaker is important to what you want to get out of the occasion. Brainstorming days and events help with team work and communication skills as employees are encouraged to be open with their suggestions for innovation. In-house workshops and lectures really cement company loyalty and make employees feel as though they are part of the business instead of just working for a bunch of managers. These can drive towards working processes such as suggestion boxes around the workplace, regular sessions where departments come together to listen to innovative ideas and incentives for when these implemented ideas are successful.

Success stories always affect us because of their inspirational content. Business speakers who have proved their worth in a similar industry or situation will more likely than not inspire employees from management to labour level that they are all part of your organisation’s family, and you will get more productivity and business innovation as a result.
