Self Confidence
Start with self
Before we talk about self-confidence, we first need to talk about “self.”
What is self? 
Who are you?
What are you about?
What are your core values and beliefs?
What do you love to think about?
Self is who you are inside.
You have to understand this self.
If you don’t understand your Self, how can you have faith in yourself?
How will you have direction in your life?
If you don’t fully understand yourself, there are hundreds…maybe thousands…of messages hammering you each
day from media and the people in your life. These messages will define you instead unless you understand yourself.
You want to reach your destination rather than be tossed about like a ship without a sail.
Start taking time to get to know yourself.
Learn to enjoy your own company.
And…dare I say it…fall in love with yourself.
Then you will have the confidence that will carry you forward.
So get to know your Self.
Sometimes outside encouragement is helpful.
So here are videos that you can watch effortlessly to help you get in the right frame of mind to grow and get to know
your Self.
TAKE ACTION
Warmly,
Dee Britton
P. S. Having a strong sense of self doesn’t mean you have to become arrogant and full of pride. It means being
completely content and confident with who you are. And when that happens, look out, because your income will grow too.
7 Secrets of Millionaires
Millionaires have certain guidelines they live by - that’s one of the reasons they become Millionaires. If you haven’t created the wealth you desire, it can seem the Wealthy are privy to secrets you aren’t. The biggest secret is – you probably KNOW some of these so-called secrets already! You now need to APPLY them in your life, instead of just knowing them and you too can create your own Millions.
1. CONTINUE LEARNING To become a Millionaire, you must first create a Millionaire Mindset. Many Millionaires believe that your greatest asset is your knowledge. Your thoughts shape your future – choose your thoughts wisely. To realise your full potential, you need to continually be learning, discovering and educating yourself. Invest in your greatest asset by reading books, listening to audios and attending seminars constantly. By continuing your education beyond formal school years you will achieve more in life than you ever imagined. For dozens of free prosperity resources visit Wildly Wealthy.
2. LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS This may not be the hot tip you expected, but this secret will assist you toward Millionaire status no matter what your income. A quote from Bill Earle sums it up perfectly “If your outgo exceeds your income, then your upkeep will be your downfall”. The typical Millionaire spends less than he earns, and invests the difference. Millionaires prefer to sacrifice high consumption today to achieve financial freedom tomorrow and for a lifetime.
What's your path to Financial Freedom?
3. BUILD A BUSINESS AROUND WHAT YOU LOVE Most of the richest people in the world own one or more businesses. To create true wealth, you must involve yourself in your own business – preferably doing something you love. Millionaires get that way because they do what they love. They love what they do so much that it rarely feels like work – they put their heart into it and the money just flows. This is where the money is – you will never get rich working for someone else. Find something you love, something you’re passionate about, create a business around what you love and watch the money flow to you.
4. BE PERSISTANT On your way to creating your own millions, you will definitely face some minor and major obstacles. The secret is to overcome these obstacles and move on. Do not give up – be persistent. True long-term wealth is achieved only by striding over, under and through the obstacles along your path to riches. “The road to success leads through the valley of humility, down the path of patience and across the wide barren plains of perseverance. As yet, no short cut has been discovered”
5. LEVERAGE YOUR TIME AND MONEY Millionaires do not have the time nor the inclination to do everything themselves and when it comes to making millions they don’t just use their own money. If you want to be a Millionaire you have to know how to leverage. Millionaires hire the right people to do far more than they possibly could themselves. And they utilise other people’s money to invest in income-producing assets.
6. INVEST IN REAL ESTATE ”One thing the Rich uniformly have in common is that almost without exception – the Rich either made their Wealth in Real Estate or they keep their Wealth in Real Estate” stated world famous Real Estate Investor, Dr. Dolf de Roos. It’s never too late to begin your Real Estate Investing career – with the right education and support you will be able to create long term secure wealth to pass onto future generations. Real Estate investing is one of the best-known ways to create millions – even if you have NO money to begin with!
7. GIVE BACK Many Millionaires are generous with their time and money in helping others. This wasn’t something they began after they became rich, they were givers before, during and after they made their millions. In fact many Millionaires even have their own foundations. They donate a percentage of their wealth to a cause they believe in. The more you give, the more you will receive. Don’t hoard your wealth, share it with others and watch it multiply.
Millionaires dream big, create a strong desire to achieve those dreams and then take consistent action to see their dreams come true. Follow these guidelines and you too can be on the way to your first Million!

Focus on Abundance
Australia’s Leading Prosperity Mentor
Abundance, Wealth, Prosperity, Financial Freedom – we all crave it, not just for what the money will do, but for the choices it will give us, for the fun we can create with it, for the life we can live with it. Why is it that some people seem to attract money and riches so easily, and others live their entire lives struggling to make ends meet?
Why does it often seem that the rich just get richer and the poor just get poorer? Well guess what – it’s not about how MUCH money you make, but how you THINK about money and what you DO with that money that will make all the difference between whether you will live a life of Prosperity or one of continual money challenges. But no matter what your situation – it CAN be changed. If you desire MORE Abundance in your life – then read on!
Living the life of your dreams instead of just dreaming about it is all about creating a Millionaire Mindset. And that’s my specialty! I have been a Prosperity Mentor for over 4 years with clients from all over the world. I love to share different strategies, skills, exercises and ideas on how to keep your mind focused on raising the levels of Wealth in your life. Because the more you focus on something, the FASTER you will attract it into your life.
Take a moment to think about where your focus or predominant mental attitude is. And if it’s more on your bills, debts and lack of money, then you MUST begin to focus on wealth, riches and prosperity – or you will never be able to attract it into your life. A surprisingly simple but amazingly powerful exercise to attract prosperity to you takes less than a minute a day, and if you do this daily, you’ll be amazed at what you begin to attract into your life. This exercise is called Abundance Breaths and basically all you need to do is breathe. Well, actually, it’s a little more than that…
As already stated, you become what you focus on. Too often, it can be challenging to know exactly what you do want. You get caught up in trying to make up your mind – “Do I want this or that? What if I get that and I really would have preferred this?” “I thought I wanted this, but now I think I want that”.
Sometimes it’s easier if you can just focus on the feeling of abundance, rather than the specifics of what that abundance will be. It is the feeling that has the attraction power anyway. You can get specific when all the money comes in!
What you should do before this exercise to create avalanches of abundance and prosperity is find a comfy chair and sit down with your feet flat on the floor, back straight and hands resting in your lap with palms facing up. Gently close your eyes and keep them closed. Before you get started just imagine that you are now surrounded by tiny, minute particles of abundance; that you are immersed in a sea of prosperity and you can reach out and touch it and bring it into your life whenever you desire (which you can!).
When you’re ready, take a long, slow, deep Abundance Breath in to the count of three, totally expanding and filling your lungs. Imagine all the while that you are breathing in those particles of prosperity and they are filling every fibre of your being. Feel that feeling of being flooded with abundance. Hold your breath for the count of nine and feel every atom, every cell in your entire body being plumped up with prosperity, filled with abundance, vibrating with riches. And then slowly, to the count of six, breathe out that Abundance to circulate throughout the Universe – really force all that air out.
Once again, take another long, slow, deep Abundance Breath in, and this time, see your body light up from the inside out, glowing with prosperity, sparkling with riches, dazzling with wealth. I like to imagine that my body is glowing from the inside out with that same golden glow that radiates from Scrooge McDuck’s millions, or the gold in Aladdin’s cave! Once again, hold for the count of nine, seeing that glow, feeling that glow, then on the out breath, once again breathe out the abundance to circulate throughout the Universe.
One last time, slowly breathe in a huge big Abundance Breath for the count of three, and while you hold that breath for the count of nine, imagine and feel what it’s like to be totally abundant, amazingly wealthy, to have achieved financial freedom and be rich beyond your wildest dreams. Feel how that feels; feel how light and free and good that feels. Expand that feeling; feel it flood through your body. Embrace that amazing feeling throughout your body, mind and spirit. And for the last time, slowly breathe that abundance and prosperity out to circulate throughout the Universe.
And when you’re ready, slowly open your eyes, feeling prosperous, feeling wealthy, feeling rich, rich, rich! As I said, this is a very easy, very powerful little trick you can do daily or many times, if you want to attract MORE into your life. It only takes a couple of minutes, but has amazing money-magnetizing powers. Once you get really good at your Abundance Breaths, you won’t even need to close your eyes – you will be able to feel those feelings, see your body glowing with prosperity and really feel you are beginning to attract money anytime, anywhere – what fun! Remember, the idea is to focus on what you DO want – and that’s a life filled with prosperity, abundance, riches, wealth and happiness!

Plan & Prepare for Your Fabulous Life
‘If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.’
Now you have your dreams and you believe that you are capable of achieving them, it’s time to get ready for where you are going. You must focus on the end picture, your BIG DREAMS, and ensure that you have the people, the resources and the steps in place in order to accomplish your desires. To ensure the very best success you need to first create a ‘follow your BIG DREAMS’ action plan.
It is a great idea to begin with the end in mind by starting with the clear picture of what it is you really want to achieve (remember THINK BIG). Focus on one area at a time and determine what aspect of your life you want to improve first. It is usually best to start with the area you spend most of your time with—self, family, career or business. Self-improvement in one area will positively affect all other areas, so there is no need to develop a program for each area in the beginning.
Once you have determined which area you want to focus on, find out where you are right now. How do you see yourself now? Then fast forward the movie of your life and look at the future, having achieved your dreams. How does this make you feel? Think about what you need to do to advance forward (to fill the gap from where you are now to where you want to be) and then start setting up an action plan on how to get there.
‘The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one’ – Mark Twain
An action plan is designed to be a guide or a road map that will help keep you focused on what you want, what you need to do and when you plan to achieve it by. It is created to keep your dreams and goals clearly defined and out in front of you at all times. Taking small steps will make your journey easier and will help ensure that you get to where you are going.
Planning to achieve your dreams is similar to planning a holiday. You never go on holidays without knowing your destination, knowing what mode of transport you are using to get there, getting information and knowledge from others that have been there or reading books about where you are going.
If you really want to succeed you must read books, watch DVD”s, listen to audios, interact with others and ask questions. If somebody else has already achieved your dreams then there is no reason why you cannot achieve them also.
To help make your plans take concrete shape I recommend that you address four key questions: What? Who? When? and How?
What?
This is the broadest question to consider.
- What are you willing and able to do in order for your life to change and set your dream as a priority?
- What time, equipment, support and resources do you require in order to fulfill your dreams?
- What specific actions will you take? Consider first what you’ll cut out of your schedule in order to make space for productive advancement.
- What are you willing to give up or scale back on (say, television or excess work hours) to increase your commitment to your dreams?
Who?
Consider, in broad terms,
- Who will be involved in supporting your dreams. You, certainly, but you may also want to draw on some additional support, whether it’s a friend, a family member or a life coach www.feelingfabulousforever.com .
- Who do you know (or have access to) that could serve as a skill-and-knowledge resource for you?
- Who has achieved your dream that you can learn from? Do you have a role model? If so, what characteristics and accomplishments inspire you the most?
When?
Saying you’ll make time to focus and follow your dreams isn’t as powerful as committing to specific days and times.
- When are you going to start?
- How often will you be pro-active, for how long each day and will you commit to following your dreams until you accomplish them. Schedule some time everyday (even if it is only 5 mins) and write it down in your day planner.
How?
Once you’ve decided what kind of ‘what, who are when’, decide on how you’ll track your progress and support your success.
- How will you stay motivated to stick with your plan? For some people, hiring life coach or mastermind group is the answer. For others, it’s regular check-ins with a mentor or tangible rewards for meeting small goals along the way.
- How will you track your achievements?
- How will you respond if you run into unexpected or apparently insurmountable obstacles? What are your next steps or sources of support if things don’t go as planned?
- How will you celebrate your successes — not just for achieving your defined goals, but also for reaching key points along the way?
Take note of your answers to these questions: They’ll prove important as you work through your action plan to success.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have all the answers to the above questions straight away. They will come. The important thing is you just have to prepare to begin and answer the questions along the way. JUST GET STARTED!
You are the most important part of ensuring that you dreams become a reality so you must continually invest in yourself.
‘Believe and act as it was impossible to fail’ – Charles F. Kettering
You are now ready to take action
Make a decision and commitment to yourself to really follow your dreams to a fabulous, happier and healthier life. Start planning TODAY!

Believe in Your Dreams, Believe in Yourself
‘You can be anything that you want to be, if only you believe with sufficient conviction and act in accordance with your faith; for whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve’.
- Napoleon Hill
7 Keys to Living a Fabulous Life
- Dream
- Believe
Believe
Once you have decided that you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams then you must adjust your attitude. BELIEVE that you are capable of achieving your dreams. You must believe that your dreams are possible and believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is a choice and an attitude that you can develop overtime. It is your responsibility to take charge of your own dreams and beliefs NOW, no matter what has happened in the past. Learn to live each day with a positive mindset and begin to instill in your mind the unquenchable desire of your heart.
When you truly believe you get a gut feeling and you know that your dream is possible, even if it is far out of reach at this point in time. Many successful people living fabulous lives where not the most gifted or talented in their fields, but they chose to dream big and believe that anything was possible. Most people fail not because they lack the skills or aptitude to achieve their dreams but because they simply don’t believe they can achieve them. If you believe that your dreams are possible then you will do what is necessary to produce the desired results.
‘Whether you think you can or think you can’t – you are right’. ~Henry Ford
One of the first things that you MUST do is to give up the phrase ‘I can’t’. These two small words actually disempower you and make you weaker each time that you say them. So start by taking responsibility from removing ‘I can’t’ from your vocabulary and replace them with the question ‘How can I?’
You must believe that there is a plan and a purpose for your life. You reading this article is no accident. You must believe that you have a destiny of success waiting for you. You have talents, abilities, personality, character, skills, knowledge and looks that make you unlike anybody else – you are UNIQUE. You are designed with these talents, abilities, skills, personality and you bring value to the world. What you know and what you are able to do and who you are is designed to bring value to other people’s lives as well as your own. What is your purpose in life? You must believe that you were made for a reason.
Whatever your dream is, look at yourself in the mirror and declare that you are indeed going to achieve it – no matter what it takes. It is amazing what happens to your self confidence when you tell yourself forcefully what you are going to do.
If you dream and you believe, and you are willing to see it through then don’t listen to those around you who tell you that it is not possible. Surround yourself with people who believe in your dreams. Don’t waste your time listening to people who do not support your dreams. Ask yourself: Are they living their dreams? Support other people with BIG DREAMS and believe in their dreams also.
Never worry about what others think of your BIG DREAMS. If having others believe in you and your dreams was a requirement for a successful, fabulous life, most people would never accomplish anything. Base your decisions about what you want and what your dreams and desires are – not those of your family, friends and co-workers. Follow your heart, follow your dreams.
‘Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle’. – Christian D. Larson
Don’t waste years of your life. Decide that you are capable of doing anything that you dream of and start working towards it TODAY.
Share you belief in yourself or any obstacles you believe you have.
See you tomorrow for key 3 – Prepare & Plan

7 Keys to Living a Fabulous Life
You were designed to live a fabulous life filled with abundance, so WHY are you living a mediocre life? What barriers do you need to break through? What excuses do you need to stop using?
What is stopping you from reaching your true freedom – physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and financially?
What does a FABULOUS LIFE really mean to you?
We often mistakenly think that we do not deserve a fabulous life or wrongly feel that a fabulous life is far beyond our reach. We were all designed to live a fabulous life and in order to do so we must first see ourselves as being fabulous and look within.
The following 7 keys are designed to help you live your fabulous life.
- Dream
You have to have dreams and those dreams need to be BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC, MONSTEROUS. Why not? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain from dreaming BIG. If you dream small, then small is all you are going to get.
DREAM BIG
Knowing your dreams and living them is the whole purpose behind your life. By knowing your dreams and living your passion, you have a powerful motivator to make changes in your life. By starting to follow your dreams your life takes on a whole new meaning and your journey to fabulous begins. You deserve to live your dream life and you definitely have the capability and the potential to do, be and have anything that you desire.
I recently learnt to dream big and follow my dreams and I am creating amazing results fair beyond what I ever imagined. I am creating the fabulous, abundant life that I was designed to live. I dream that I will be a successful business women, I will be financially free, I will take holidays with my family to destinations all over the world, I will live in my dream house and I will make the most of every day by being happy and having fun. I dream that I will make a positive difference in the lives of many and my goal today is to ignite or fuel the PASSION and DREAM in you.
What is it that you dream about?
What is your ideal vision of your body and your physical health? Do you dream about a fabulous relationship? What is your ideal job or career that makes you jump out of bed excited every morning? What does your home look like? What do you do in your free time?
You have two choices: Either you are going to live your life according to the circumstances that you have in front of you, or you are going to live your life according to your dreams and where you want to go. WHICH one will you choose? It is time to rise up and understand where you priorities really lie. It is time to really live your life, not just exist!!
Whatever your BIG dreams are you have got to latch onto them.
I’d love to hear about YOUR dreams.
Check out Key 2 tomorrow – BELIEVE!
