Hi Everyone,

We have two very exciting Lifeonaire Casting events coming up on June 5th-6th in Baltimore and June 19th-20th in St. Louis.   Please see below and visit http://reitips.com/special/lifeonaire-2009/ for more information!  We hope to see you there!

Dear Friend,

I want to change your life!  I want you to experience a full and abundant life!  I want you to stop spinning your wheels, get off that hamster wheel and start uncovering the opportunity-rich, abundant life you’ve always imagined and truly deserve.  In short, I want you to become a Lifeonaire!

What is a “Lifeonaire” you ask?

We all know what a millionaire is.  While technically it’s someone who owns at least a million dollars, I’d say a better definition for most of us would be that a millionaire is someone who is full of money.

Well a Lifeonaire is sort of like a millionaire, but also different.  A Lifeonaire is full of life!

Most of us spend our lives just enduring the life we’ve been given.  Tragically few of us actually end up experiencing all that life has to offer.  No matter what your circumstances are right now, your life is rich with untapped potential.  And you can and should tap into that and start enjoying it!

By understanding the Lifeonaire ideas, I’ve learned not to set goals based on other people’s expectations of how I should live my life, but instead how to design my life and pursue the things in life that provide the most fulfillment. 

The truth is, since I’ve become a “Lifeonaire”…

• My business is more profitable than ever.
• I’ve eliminated more than $600,000 in debt (yes, in less than a year…).
• My relationships with friends and family are more prosperous than ever.
• My relationship with God has strengthened tremendously.
• I have more time to “experience life” and focus on the things that mean the most to me.

Can we all be really honest for a second?

We’ve all found ourselves feeling unsatisfied, unfocused, unfulfilled and maybe even unsure of why…  We’ve all imagined how just having “enough money” would finally solve all our problems with time, family, friends or whatever.

But here’s an absolute truism: There is no amount of money in the world that will guarantee you a full, abundant life.  In fact, the sad truth is that it’s often those with the most money whose lives are the emptiest and least fulfilling.

Listen, I’m here to tell you that…

• Yes, you can begin experiencing the life you were created for starting today!
• Yes, you can uncover the full, rich and abundant life you’ve been searching for.
• And the best part is…No, you don’t have to have a million dollars - or any amount of money for that matter

What you need is a “Lifeonaire Vision”…

A person who lives a rich, fulfilling life also has a crystal clear vision of what they want out of life.  These are the people who start with a clear picture of the end in mind, and have established a unique big picture plan as well as specific short term, actionable “waypoints” and goals to get them there.

In its simplest form, this is the Lifeonaire Vision. And armed with it you can set clear goals along with a specific action plan to help you achieve what you really want.  It’s the difference between having good intentions and a specific, step-by-step plan of action.

Just as you’d be pretty crazy to try driving someplace you’ve never been without a good map or driving directions (i.e. a plan), you’re not the smartest tool in the shed when you try to meander your way through life, striving for success without a specific roadmap to getting there.

Let me really spell it out for you…

• … If you want to eliminate your job, you can do it with a proper plan.
• … If you want to start a business, you can do it with a proper plan.
• … If you want to lose weight, get out of debt, buy a home, travel the world, drive a classic car, go on a missions trip or vacation, spend more time with your kids, you can do them ALL with a proper vision and plan.

I’m a realist, so I don’t believe in just getting all hyped up about an idea, and then not turn it into action.  Simple motivation tactics don’t last.  It’s one thing to have some motivation in your life, but it’s a completely different experience to have a life shaping vision.

One of my own personal goals for 2009 is to open as many eyes as possible to the power of discovering your own Lifeonaire vision, so that people can finally begin achieving the incredible results I have been so blessed to experience.

I truly know what it’s like to struggle with turning dreams into goals.  I also know what it takes to crystallize your goals into a specific plan of action, and then actually achieve them. I’ve lived it.  Even more importantly I’ve worked through it.  And now I’ve taught it to others, and I’d like the chance to take you by the hand and teach you how to do it as well.  Will you join me?

Here’s What You’ll Learn at This Event:

Ø  We’re going to take you gingerly by the hand and give you step by step instructions on how to find your passion and create the vision for exactly how you choose for your life to look.

Ø  You will know exactly what’s been holding you back from accomplishing your goals and aspirations in the past.

Ø  You’ll have a specific plan for achieving your vision, and you’ll know exactly how long it will take for you to get there.

Ø  You will know the exact dollar amount your vision will cost you to create.

Ø  How to devise a specific action plan to ensure the accomplishment of your vision, regardless of how extraordinary it may seem.

Ø  You will own a step by step action plan for eliminating debt (regardless of how much debt you have)

Ø  How to ensure your business corresponds to your vision (ensuring you not only love what you do personally, but professionally as well.)

Our goal at these events is to flip your life upside down and open your eyes to possibilities that you have never seen before.  We’ll also be right there with you to help you put together a vision and plan that will truly change your life forever.

“I’m in! How much does it cost?”

For most 2-day events of this nature, it’s common to charge in the thousands of dollars.  And while the Lifeonaire paradigm is incredibly powerful and truly life changing, the fact of the matter is we also want it to be within reach for as many people as possible.  We’re on a mission to get help as many people as possible with this information, so we’re making a point to be fair to your pocketbook with the tuition.

Your investment in this life changing 2 day retreat is only $197.  That’s it. No games, no gimmick, no tricks.

A message every adult should read because children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I heard you say a prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I
learned that we all have to help take care of each other.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing, and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don’t.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn’t
feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it’s all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I learned most of life’s lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up.

When you thought I wasn’t looking I looked at you and wanted to say, ‘Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking.’

I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW WHO DO SO MUCH FOR OTHERS, BUT THINK THAT NO ONE EVER SEES. LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT .

Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, friend) influence the life of a child.

How will you touch the life of someone today? Just by sending this to someone else, you will probably make them at least think about their influence on others.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly..

Leave the rest to God.

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine that is feeling a bit overwhelmed by his financial situation. He said that over the past few months, he has spent more time worrying about things than ever before. I’m pretty sure he’s not the only one feeling this way. In fact, I believe a lot of people are feeling similar pressures right now so I thought I would share my biggest secret on how to deal with this type of stress and worry. As a matter of fact, if you apply these principles every time you begin to let worry sink in, I promise you that you’ll never have to worry about another thing in your life. You can eliminate worry as fast as you can flip a switch if you know how. I know it sounds like a tall promise, but click play on the button below and I’ll explain…

Take a few minutes and really let this sink in. It may just change your whole life.

Here’s to life,

I just watched this video with Darryl Strawberry. It was awesome listening to him and how he has discovered what it means to be a Lifeonaire.  Furthermore, he is living the life and more satisfied than he has ever been.  Check it out and let me know what you think:

If you’re interested in reading more of Darryl’s story, his new book, Finding My Way, is available in bookstores now.

The Millionaire Next Door

This book, written by Thomas Stanley and William Danko, is obviously going down in history as a classic.  It’s a book that I skim-read, but never REALLY read or gave much credence to, many years ago. Recently, I decided to sit down and take the time to really read this book, and I highly recommend that you do the same.

The Millionaire Next Door is well-written, engaging, and easy to read.  Although, I’m certain that the financial theme increases its appeal, since money is a topic that is on everyone’s mind, especially lately.  The authors provide tremendous insight into the mind of the “typical” American millionaire.  However, you’ll quickly find out that “typical” is not what most people would believe or imagine; in fact, it’s often completely counter-cultural.

If you haven’t read this book, I recommend that you take the time to do so.  I do, however, want to give you some direction before you begin.  The book is written with the assumption that most people’s goal in life is to accumulate as much wealth as possible.  While this presupposition is exactly opposite of how a true Lifeonaire thinks, we can still learn a lot from the sound principles in the book.  Being a good steward, living within one’s means, and investing wisely are all prudent financial goals toward which Lifeonaires should be striving.  Wealth can be achieved by anyone; it’s the wise use of that wealth that’s the key for a Lifeonaire.  As you read, be sure to have a clear picture of your personal financial goals and weigh the author’s advice against the Lifeonaire principles that you are practicing in your own life.

Most importantly–remember this is not a “christian” book.  As a Lifeonaire, glorifying God must be your ultimate goal.  As you read, contemplate each chapter through the lens of God’s word and your own desire to bring him glory with your finances-and your life!

Enjoy!

Blessings,

Steve

You think you have it hard?  Think again.  Here’s a quick video that you should stop what you’re doing and take a few minutes to watch.

Sometimes the biggest mistake we make is in thinking that we should have no problems in life. We think problems are a curse, instead of knowing that our problems are a gift. The only way we usually grow is if we get a good enough problem to stimulate us to use our resourcefulness to find a part of our
self that is not being used.

Here is an extraordinary example of a man who chooses to view his “problems” as gifts, and a resource to show the world that there are no limitations to what we can do.

I hope you will be inspired.

If you missed the interview with Roger Clyne, you missed a GREAT call!

Roger spoke for nearly an hour on life as a rock star, his passion for music, the importance of his family and his faith, and so much more!

Listen now to how Roger uses lifeonaire concepts in his approach to a fulfilling and amazing life.

Join me this Friday, March 6^th at 2:30PM CST time for a one on one interview with lead singer Roger Clyne. (Formerly the Refreshments)

Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers is an Alt-Country/Rock band from Tempe, Arizona. The band is typically referred to by the fans as “The Peacemakers” or by the abbreviation “RCPM”. The Peacemakers’ music is known to cross genres, with some songs showing a more Country influence, and others sounding more like a modern pop song. More recently, the band’s influences have included more of a Reggae/South of the Border influence.

Roger Clyne’s lyrics frequently showcase his Southwestern roots, and frequently invoke images of cowboys, Federales, and references to Mexico and places in Arizona, amongst other Southwestern references.

TO ATTEND THIS EVENT, CLICK HERE!!

Here are a few samples of his music.

You have GOT to make this call. Not only are the Peacemakers one of my all time favorite rock & roll bands, I think you’ll agree that Roger also has a lot of Lifeonaire qualities that you’re going to LOVE to hear about.

I’ll see you on the call THIS FRIDAY at 2:30PM CST

For those of you that missed our Lifeonaire call with Joan Geison, let me just tell you that you missed one heck of a call!

Joan stayed with us for almost an entire hour and out of the hundreds of people on the call almost NO ONE dropped off the call early. She started by telling stories of how she became a true Lifeonaire… she then shared real life stories of miracles that have happened right before her very eyes. So much so, that at 72 years old she was able to literally feed more than 18,000 people in need over Christmas this year.

You’re going to love Joan’s simple, yet completely fulfilling approach to Life!

Inherently within most of us is a desire to “do-good”.

I’ve been very disturbed at the irresponsibility that has been advocated in this world today.  Bail-outs, workouts, spreading good fortune all seem to be very noble acts, and many justify such acts in times of perceived emergency as an act for the good of society as a whole.  Decisions are made quickly without much thought to the repercussions and the domino effect such events would create.

You see, I view all such “do-good” acts as nothing more then a band-aid.  The sad part is that such acts actually create more harm then good.

Do-gooding gone wrong…

I know of a person who had inherited a good deal of money when his parents passed away.  He’s done nothing good with the money, he’s become an alcoholic, borrowed against the assets and not made payments.  He can always be found in a bar, getting into fights and arrested for DUI’s on a regular basis.
