Going Beyond Incremental Innovation By John Bessant We know that there is more to the innovation game than just doing what we do a little better. It may be a safe space in terms of moving along established pathways but there’s a high risk that someone else is building a motorway a short distance away and we are about to be surprised, and very possibly disrupted by a radical new idea.

What Are You Willing to Give In Order to Have What You Want to Have?

She Beat Her Sweet Tooth and the Amount of Weight She Lost Will Blow Your Mind!

Who can fathom the mysteries of the body?

If only we could control our metabolism the way we can control our thoughts...

Addictions to many substances, including drinks, chocolate and other sugars, are fueled by the body's insulin-response system. When you have a drink or a candy bar, your body's blood sugar soars, prompting the pancreas to release insulin, which helps to move sugars circulating in the blood into the body's tissues--which then either use them for energy or store them as FAT.

After the insulin is released, your blood sugar crashes, prompting your body to send a message to the brain: "We need more sugar!" You then experience either a feeling of tiredness or a craving (varying in intensity from mild to extremely uncomfortable) for another drink or more sugar.

Little Ways To Upgrade Your Internal & External Value...

You are powerful.

Creating and manifesting the life of your dreams is your choice.

You broadcast your own estimation of your value to yourself, your family and the world around you, loud and clear, with every word you speak and every move you make.

Most people out there, especially those who are meeting you for the first time, are going to take your word for it if you think highly of yourself (or not).

The Neuroscience of Self-Esteem:

Self-hatred rarely accomplishes much. With the rise of positive psychology, recent decades have seen a substantial cultural emphasis on the importance of self-esteem. Unfortunately, being told to keep liking ourselves, no matter what, hasn't done a whole lot get us back on our feet when we hit a big ole' bump in the road... Read More>>>

A Simple Way to Calm Down and Feel Better...

Neuroinstructor and brain training expert Mark Waldman is one of the world’s leading experts on spirituality and the brain, and he has some simple advice for those experiencing unease and tension: Yawn.

No, we're not ignoring you--that's the advice!

When you yawn several times in succession, your brain releases chemicals that dampen the fight or flight response mechanism of the Amygdala. According to Mark, yawning relaxes you faster than any other method of which we are currently aware.

Mark is on the faculty at the prestigious College of Business at Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles, where he teaches people how to rapidly identify behaviors and beliefs that hold them back from achieving their fullest potential in work and relationships.

His extraordinary NeuroWisdom product empowers the user to transform those old habits into practical strategies to achieve their goals... Read More>>>

Brain Retraining Techniques For Financial Success... The 5th Annual Live Brain-A-Thon Event!

Yesterday, I told you I’d spill the beans on the breakthrough methods my friend John Assaraf created for re-training your brain for financial success.

Today, you’re going to get a chance to learn these techniques to finally breakthrough your limiting beliefs, shatter your financial glass ceiling, and start living a life of financial success.

Here’s an uncomfortable truth:

Growth can be painful.

It’s tough to try and step out of your comfort zone, unsure if the path you’re heading down will lead you to success or failure.

It’s even harder to try and make the leap from “just scraping by” to “financially free” without any guarantee of success.

But there is a way that you can guarantee you’ll have a better financial future, regardless of whatever life throws your way.

You can train your brain to think differently about money. And that can help safeguard you from whatever the future may hold.

There are a variety of techniques you can use.

But the easiest way is to try the techniques John Assaraf is going to share on The 5th Annual Live Brain-A-Thon Event.

When you sign up for this amazing, life-changing live event you’ll discover… Read More>>>

Mindset Secret Of Financially Independent People... Annual Live Brainathon!

Most people think wealthy people got that way because of sheer dumb luck, a huge inheritance, screwing people over or being “in the right place at the right time.”

But nothing could be further from the truth.

Let me explain.

Imagine we took five first-generation multi-millionaires (meaning they didn’t inherit their money, they made it themselves) and stripped them of everything they had.

Let’s say we took away all their money, their houses, their business connections and the rest of their worldly possessions. Now, let’s say we dropped them off in the middle of a big city with nothing but the shirt on their back and lint in their pockets.

What do you think would happen if we checked up on them five years later?

I can guarantee that every one of those first-generation multi-millionaires will be a millionaire again. And if they aren’t they won’t be far off from their goal.

Now let’s try another experiment.

Let’s take five ordinary, working class people and put 5 million dollars in their bank accounts. They can spend it or invest it however they like.

If we checked up on them in five years, I guarantee almost every one of them would have blown through most of that money. It’s the same reason that every lotto winner who seems to go broke within a few years after hitting the jackpot.

So why is there such a striking difference between these two groups of people?

It seems like the first group, the first generation multi-millionaires just seem to be ‘wired’ differently.

And that is in fact the secret that separates the financially independent from everybody else.

Their brains ARE wired differently.

They have different views about money. They have different ideas about earning, saving, spending and investing. They don’t view money as the thing that controls their lives. They view it as a tool to build the kind of life they want.

That’s the secret to becoming financially well-off.

It has nothing to do with your job, your bank account, where you live or what you learned in school…

… But it has EVERYTHING to do with your mindset toward money, wealth and your future.

Maybe you DON’T have this ‘wealth mindset’ yet. That’s OK. Most people aren’t wired like this.

It takes training and practice to rewire your brain.

It’s very hard to do this on your own. Even the world’s wealthiest men and women ALL had successful teachers, mentors and role-models who took their hand and guided them down the path to success.

You might not have those kind of connections.

But there IS hope for you if you WANT to make a change… Read More>>>
