It’s everywhere. People are talking about it everywhere. Not only is it in the media, you go to the coffee shops, they are talking about it. They are talking about it in the living room, in the dining room, in the break room at work. If you go to the grocery store, they are making some comments about the economy! Now, I’m not an economist. There are a lot of things I don’t understand about the economy. But my question is, where is the money? Yeah, whatever happened to the money? Ok, do you remember the commercial for Wendy’s? Where’s the beef? Where’s the money? I know they didn’t pile up all the money and set it on fire. The money didn’t vanish. A few companies went under, but they still had billions of dollars of assets and some cash. What happened to the cash? What happened to the assets? The earth didn’t open up and the assets went under. I know that didn’t happen. Ok, some of you lost some of your money. If you were fortunate enough you had a portfolio and your money was in mutual funds. Chances are you lost what about 25-30% of your money, correct. Or if your money was in the stock market you probably lost 50% of your money. Maybe you lost everything depending on where your money was invested in the stock markets. Why is it that people are not spending money? Let’s face it, let’s look at it this way. Your job, if you are working somewhere, is still paying you your check. Okay, depending on what company you are working with, maybe you don’t have a job. But for the most part, at least the people I talk to, they have a job. They get a paycheck every week. If your money was in the bank, lets say you had $5000 in the bank, it didn’t go anywhere, and you didn’t lose anything from that money. Why is it people are not spending that money? Why are they still getting a paycheck, but not buying more? What’s going on in the economy? Let me tell you, I think it is FEAR! Fear is the reason why all of this is going on. Most people are paralyzed–emotionally and mentally. They are in a state of inertia. To them, things are still. Now I can understand a state of inertia when it comes to our money. But… A state of inertia when it comes to our dreams? I don’t understand it. I really don’t. I know this is a time to put your money on hold. But, you should not put your dreams or goals on hold. Ok, if you own a small business, I know you are hurting. As a small business myself, I sympathize with you. You see, we are always the first ones to feel the pinch of a bad economy. We feel the impact first. However, I want to say this to you. The problem is not in our small businesses. The problem is not in the economy. The problem is head. The Law Of Cause And Effect You see, the things outside of us are effects. The cause is our mind. The state of you business, your car, home, bank account and all are all effects. Our mind produces those effects. If we want to change what we have, we have to change the thoughts we entertains. I was talking to a coaching client on the phone. She has a business on the Internet. We spoke for about 70 minutes. Maritza never mentioned the economy once during the conversation. She kept talking about how well her business is doing and how much money she is making. She didn’t say anything about the economy. You know why? It’s because she is not focusing on it. Her mind is too busy thinking the thoughts that create better results. Simply put, she’s too busy following her plans, strategies, dreams, and goals. My friend, you don’t have to participate in a bad economy. It’s a choice that you make. I’m not saying everything is rosy. I understand what’s going on. However, there are a bunch of people who are going to b[...] Rene Godefroy no no The Law of Comparison or Contrast http://www.villagehero.com/blog/the-law-of-comparison-or-contrast/ http://www.villagehero.com/blog/the-law-of-comparison-or-contrast/#comments Sat, 31 May 2008 21:19:21 +0000 Rene Godefroy http://villagehero.com/blog/?p=67

But I do remember what I did promise you the last time. I promised to share with how you can get whatever you want when you ask for it. That’s a great tool to have at your disposal. See The Video >> Click Orphanage Video<< As I mentioned to you the last time, I was in my village last December. A man came to me and asked me for some money. I don’t recall how much it was but I do know it was a ridiculous amount. I say ridiculous because the man is not a family member. I don’t even know him. Apparently he is not from my village. I said to him, “you must be kidding? Aren’t you?” He went on to tell me that he was serious. Then he proceeded to share with a whole list of problems. He was on to something. Once he noticed that he was not going to get what he asked for, he immediately lower his request by something like 75%. That sounded very doable to me. Without a flinch, I gave him the money. He was happy. Well, 15 minutes later, it downed on me that the man used a very powerful strategies I had learned years ago. I picked it up while I was devouring books at the public library. Are you ready to learn what that strategy is? Great! Here it is… It’s the law of comparison or contrast if you will. The way it works is very simple. And you can start using it today. When you want something, always ask for something much bigger. Let’s say you need to borrow $1,000 dollars from a friend. You might want to ask for $7,000 or more. Once your friend flinches, you automatically drop your request to $1,000. You see, the mind must have options before it can compare and decide. Supposed you want a raise? Instead of asking for what you want, ask for far more than you think you can get. Then drop your request significantly. You’ll have a far better chance in getting what you want. Simply put, always plant a big number in the person’s brain before you drop the lower number. Make sense? It’s like in business. You ask for a high price. Then you lower it on the spot to a price that’s ridiculously low. That’s called “the irresistible offer”. Remember the television ad? Yeah, the price for today is $900. But if you act today, you can get this, that and the other for only $97. When Ugly Isn’t That Ugly After All. Well, maybe your car is average to you now or somewhat ugly. But if you take that same car and put it next to a very ugly and beat car, you might notice that your average car is suddenly very beautiful. Have you ever heard the saying that you never know what you have until you lose it? It’s because you have to something to compare what you had with. Alright, that’s all I wanted to share with about this. Also I told you about the Christmas dinner I had with 28 kids at an orphanage in Haiti. To them it was the best Christmas they’ve ever had. They thanked me profusely for giving them so much for that Christmas. But in reality, I should be the one thanking them. They made that Christmas the best ever for me. They sang, danced and performed for me. They hugged me and made me feel so appreciative. So, I want to share with you one of the songs they sang that brought tears to my eyes. Enjoy it!
