2010 is upon us and social media is hot! After a bit more than a year on Facebook, I am discovering how to get out of my comfort zone and meet fabulous people beyond the scope of my past or current affiliations!
Just today I had a great conversation with a woman I met when I went looking for like minded people through facebook. What a marvelous opportunity to spend time on the phone chatting with her clear across the continent. She is on much the same journey that I have been on.
So here's to exploring and searching for new friends who have similar values, experiences, passions, and dreams! Meet the friends you haven't met yet. What if in 2010 you could add one person from each state who met this criteria? How much richer would your life be? How could you enrich their lives through your business, wisdom, and insight!
Cheers for social media in 2010!

"Taking Time to Dream Everyday Increases Your Creativity"
The title for this blog came from a quote in The Top 10 Distinctions Between the Millionaires and the Middle Class, by Keith Cameron Smith. We have been talking in our calls about Empowering Questions. These questions stretch us and give us an opportunity to dream and therefore engage our creativity.
In an earlier blog, I asked the question, "How could I create such an exciting Noevir event that I would have six prospective clients at my dining room table every Tuesday evening and watch them turn them into raving fans for Noevir before my very eyes?"
I have been asking that question off and on for over a week now, and the wheels of my creativity have been churning out ideas. In fact, I believe I have one.
Will my idea work for you? No--it works for me because of my style and the way I do things. I invite you to ask yourself that same question and see how you might foster some fresh new creative ideas!

Five Principles for Success in Life
Principle #1: There is no such things as failure, there is only feedback. (Andrew Peacock) What is your feedback? How could you change the feedback?
Principle #2: If you continue to do life the same way--will you get different results? What results do you really want?
Principle #3: Everything is a matter of choice. (Dr. Zonnya) What is your choice?
Principle #4: Imperfect action is better than no action! (Giovanna Garcia) What is your imperfect action?
Principle #5: Ask, Seek, Knock! (Jesus) It's always "no" unless you ask! It's always hidden until you seek. The door remains closed unless you knock? What is your question? What are you seeking? Where are you knocking?

If you knew...
If you knew that you were to be promoted to a wonderful new position in your company in the next several months what kind of questions would you ask?
Would you ask--"Why does this always happen to me just when other responsibilities are heavy?" or "What if I get my hopes up about this promotion and then the whole thing goes south?" or "What if I can't maintain this new level?"
Or would you be crying, "Woohoo! How can I best prepare myself for this promotion with the added responsibility? or How can I be ready to give this new opportunity my best shot?" or "What do I need to know that will make me a more effective leader at this level?"
Every opportunity comes with the power to fear failure or exercise faith for success. They both--faith and fear--expect what is unseen to manifest itself. One expects dragons in the inkiness of midnight and the other expects miracles at sunrise!
What questions are you asking? Could it be that the questions you ask today--will either pull you forward into promotion or cause you to sink into failure. Maybe you really do call the shots!
It's worth pondering!

Ten Benefits of Empowering Questions
Check out www.empowering-questions.com. It's a great website. Andrew Peacock has written a list of ten benefits that come from asking empowering questions. I like them. Do you?
Creative
Open-minded
Opportunistic
Positive
Inspired
Resourceful
Productive
Capable
Happy
Confident
Empowering questions will change your mind-set in many areas and open you up to some wonderful possibilities.
"What You Fear--You Empower"
When I wrote the first four posts on Empowering Questions, I used the term "Disempowering" questions to speak about those that don't produce for us. Since hearing the quote in the title of this post given by John Paul Jackson, I am rethinking the word "disempowering."
It occurs to me that all questions are empowering. Some empower faith; some empower fear. Jackson continues, "Fear and faith are the same thing. It's the belief that something invisible is going to happen. Faith believes something good will happen. Fear believes something bad will happen."
So think carefully before you write your empowering question. It will empower either faith or fear!

Empowering Questions Produce Results in Two Weeks? True or False?
Last evening in our Millionaire Mindset Conference Call, we began to see a pattern for how long it takes for answers to come from empowering questions.
Several weeks ago I asked, “How can I give value to 10x the number of people that I am investing in weekly?” Repeatedly, I asked the question, looking in my mental database for answers. I got a few ideas, but suddenly from outside in about two weeks doors began to open and I found myself in front of groups of people that dramatically increased my visibility.
I asked a friend who had been contemplating a career move about her experience. Six months ago, the new opportunity was presented to her but for months she rejected it. Then about a month ago, she changed her mindset and began asking, “How could I launch this business?” “Where is the template that I could follow?”
About two weeks later, her phone rang with information about a brand new system and now she is moving forward.
In our experience it seems that within two weeks of asking, answers start coming. Are you ready for new open doors to open in about two weeks? Are you ready to design and ask empowering questions? You'll get results in about two weeks! Be certain you are asking empowering questions!
Do you already have an experience that would validate our observation?
