To those who scorn imagination and believe that us dreamers are lost in our own thoughts more than in reality, listen carefully to one of the greatest minds of our time, Albert Einstein.

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."

"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."

"To know is nothing at all; to imagine is everything."

If I can assist a leader in this one area we are 98% done. If you can begin to see life as an adventure that you will enjoy and not dread, as a challenge you will conquer rather than be crushed by, as the fun of defining your future by your intentions and imagination rather than your present circumstances, you will succeed! 

If you refuse to engage and embrace this powerful Divine gift then cloudy days are a source of depression rather than a blessing of rain to nourish the land. Then relationship challenges are personal attacks rather than teaching moments for everyone involved. Then financial problems are curses rather than helpful symptoms of unbalanced living that can be repaired and re-invented.

Take a moment to re-write this week. 
Let this week be one of enormous influence and powerful assistance. 
Let this month shift your whole team into momentum of extravagant proportions. 
Let his quarter be remembered as the season when you developed a business co-creative partnership that changed your financial legacy. 
Let this year begin decades of financial freedom matched with outstanding global investment.

Imagination it is the power train of The Evolved Economy. 
Let's get started! 

It is such a privilege to get know the amazing people who are building within The Evolved Economy.  They are exceptional people with amazing skill sets. But as they begin to appreciate the possibilities of their new opportunity they struggle with dissatisfaction with their traditional careers and business opportunities. This creates a problem. This leads to a number of "wall kicking moments" that inevitably leads to a sense of self loathing and harsh self analysis. All of these activities lead to a drain on your self confidence and in The Evolved Economy that is one of your major selling points. So what should you do?

Appreciate that your greatness will get you paid in numerous ways and just because you found a preferred reimbursement method does not mean you have wasted your skills, no you have been honing them for such a  day as this when you can receive the revenue your investment deserves.

Allow for your traditional business income to support your lifestyle demands as your revenue building activities develop in The Evolved Economy. This is not a lottery, building your business takes time. Building out of a sense of desperation will only delay you stability not accelerate it.

Realize that Leaders Choose. You are not trapped in your job or career. It is not a punishment or detainment  to keep providing for your family with a traditional income. It is a tool. It has served you in the past and when it`s usefulness runs its course you will put it back in your tool box. You won`t throw it away in disgust.

In The Evolved Economy the product is YOU! Anything that diminishes your own sense of self importance or uniqueness will become a ``mojo vampire`` Don`t allow anything to distract you from appreciating you, including any sense of impatience you may have with your  progress in The Evolved Economy. 

You are a Rock Star, make sure everyone, including yourself, treats you that way everyday!

This Ain't Rocket Science, 

It's The Evolved Economy!

True story, I was at a new church being started in a movie theater in Pennsylvania a few years ago. Because it had temporary facilities they were required to set up and tear down and transport everything they used each week. I have done this and it is no fun. I was a visitor so I was just standing around watching this finely tuned machine of a work team effortlessly put everything in its place. As I watched the sound system being assembled I was confounded at the complexity of the process. I then utilized a common assessment of brilliance and said, "Man you gotta be a rocket science to put this thing together every week!" The man who is on his knees working diligently pauses for a just a moment and replies, "Good thing I am one."  Yes he was in the aeronautical industry and in fact he designed rockets! What are the chances?

We have brilliance before each day and most of it goes unnoticed. Any child who has enjoyed a teeter totter has employed the mystery that is the lever. You also have employed the magic of science numerous times this week unknowingly.  The process of accomplishing more with less exerted energy is all around us. And some of you have even learned that this principle can be implemented into your business.

Most of the workforce remains trading time for money their entire lives. The hope of saving enough money for a "comfortable" retirement is the major motivation for living your life in such a manner. Unfortunately pensions aren't what they used to be and the days of seeing steady returns on money left in "savings" are gone. So the individual has to find another solution.  The answer is The Evolved Economy.

If you are willing to learn there is an industry willing to training you in how you can earn and provide in a more reliable fashion.

“Corporate America is a 20th-century dinosaur, trembling on the edge of extinction, and the only way for you to have a genuinely secure future is for you to take control of that future.” 

-- Robert Kiyosaki, Entrepreneur, Businessman and Author

The Evolved Economy is that option of learning that you can shift the income to investment equation through your own initiative  not by just leaving it to the whims of the government or your employer. Become the CEO of not just your own business, of your entire life!

This minute I leave for Edmonton AB to teach the Co-Creation Principles, David Wood and Travis Garza are teaching in Toronto, ON on building your own future through Isagenix. Susan Sly is Costa Messa, CA training people to Step Into Their Power. 

It is nearby, but will you make that investment to re-invent your own future. You don't need to be a rocket scientist, you just need to be willing to learn. The Evolved Economy is waiting.

"Once upon a time..." If you listen to the gurus enough you would think that The Evolved Economy is built on mystical principles that only a select few "special" people have knowledge of and for a small "investment" they will share them with only you. 

Sorry folks there is no "pixie dust!" The Evolved Economy is about assisting other folks to take control of their own future and build an ethical business with an outstanding product as well as an exemplary compensation plan. 

By the way I only teach The Co-Creation Principles to traditional business who are willing to begin to re invent themselves, charities so they can make a tremendous difference in this world and Isagenix. I have not found another corporation within The Evolved Economy with such a tremendous compensation plan. Yes I see companies with "fast money solutions" but when you examine the how this money is being manufactured you will find out that the model is flawed. Someone else has less of an opportunity because you are getting more of an opportunity. That kind of thing just isn't ok with me.

So represent The Evolved Economy with pride. There are ethical businesses functioning within The Evolved Economy, Isagenix is my best example. Don't be fooled by the snake oil salesmen. There are simple principles that can guide you in your build within The Evolved Economy. Anyone can master them and you can do so more quickly if you build within a team based system as in The Co-Creation Model. 

Co-Creation Masters are not life time MLMers, they are folks who have courageously left the traditional model and are at first taking baby steps in The Evolved Economy. They live by a new set of principles for success but with a well worn sense of personal ethics. If you are interested, you can do it. Save the "pixie dust" for the gullible, this is for everyone! 

It has been called a lot of things by many different trainers, your dysfunctional inner voice, your drunken monkey, your negative self talk re generator. It doesn't matter what you call it we all have one.
Our personal experiences, circle on influential friends and our family of origin all have a way of programming the messages but we all have messages that do not serve us. 
The trick is two fold:


1. Don't argue with your inner voice. If you have an above average intelligence your subconscious voice is better at forming a convincing argument than your conscious voice. Having a battle of the wits with your inner voice is like taking a knife to a gun fight, foolish. Also these battles can last for days or weeks or more. While you are battling your are out of momentum and ostracizing yourself from your team. Stop arguing and get back into action. Take inspired action whether your drunken monkey is screaming or not.

2. The presence of a self sabotaging, self deprecating or idiotic self talking inner voice is not proof that you cannot succeed in The Evolved Economy. You are not flawed. You are normal. I coach people at every level of personal success and they all have one thing in common, self talk that does not serve them. More cash does not silent the monkey, in fact it gives him a mega phone! 
You are gifted and talent, inspired and exquisite and the person who is trying to convince you otherwise is either in competition with you or has their hand in your pocket. 
Surround yourself with people who recognize your greatness and are willing to remind you when you forget. 
WE ALL FORGET FROM TIME TO TIME!

The Mentoring Dance

This visual teaching moment is so pivotal to your learning to develop leaders within your Evolved Economy.

If you aren't actively mentoring then your Evolved Economy is really just an elaborate sales position. But if in fact you are raising up leaders as well as attracting great leaders then you are experiencing the true magic of The Evolved Economy.

The tricky thing about mentoring work is that there is very little applause. Usually only a few people will know immediately that you have been privately bringing out the best in your leaders. If you are extremely skilled no one ever knows but the individual you are pouring greatness into. The Evolved Economy runs on some what counter intuitive principles and this means that the most influential leader within the traditional economy will require mentoring so that they do not waste resources applying antiquated methods on this hybrid economy. So plan to be a mentor.

I have been teaching mentoring principles for over 25 years now and one thing remains the same, very few people actually know how to mentor leaders. They think they are mentoring when followers are learning, but that is just leading. Mentoring is quite different. A leader responds to a different language and energy than anyone else in your team. You must adjust to them, not the other way around. Most organizations are nothing but frustrating to leaders. Leaders are very predictable as they have a code of principles that they live their life by and decisions come easily. They are not emotionally driven but principle focused. This can aggravate the untrained mentor.

The video I share here is about the concluding days of a mentoring relationship. It is a painful and careful dance as the mentor earns to decrease and allow the mentee to increase. But it is a dance that is all too necessary in order for your Evolved Economy is mature. I have shared the anguish and joy of mentors stepping back so that their mentees can shine.

I hope this will inspire you to become just what your team needs you to be, a mentor. Begin to share those four powerful words with those who are aspiring to lead, "I Can See You..."

Do you love what you do? When will you begin? I guess I am too self focused, I couldn't imagine not doing that which I am immensely proud of, happy to do with ease, and pleased with myself for having done it.

The Evolved Economy Leader never uses guilt and driving to motivate anyone, including themselves. They know that the reliable and trustworthy model is one of describing and predicting greatness and drawing ourselves and others into an amazing synergy of passion and productivity.

We are taught from an early age to be immediately responsive to guilt, but if you have to make yourself or other people feel bad before you are they can feel empowered to do great things, it's going to be a very unfulfilling journey.

As a pastor of a brand new congregation we were forming I told our key leaders that I personally was not going to use guilt as a motivator. Before he could think of what he was saying one leader blurted out, "But we won't be able to get anyone to do what we want them to do!" My response was that then we would be a very guilt free but unproductive congregation. It was true we were guilt free but unproductive, no we got a lot done and those congregants are still doing amazing acts of service and leadership in their community and around the world.

This trusting step is a big one for many of you who have been let down and disappointed in the past. I know how you are feeling, and that is why I love the Evolved Economy. 

In a truly evolved model everyone is an independent business owner. Words like "Upline, Downline, Crossline" are all mythical descriptions of how we are reimbursed but not actual ties that bind. The freedom of The Evolved Economy is to take full responsibility for where our business is and how it is performing moment by moment. In The Evolved Economy we know we can improve our position and our revenue without anyone else's permission or input.

Happy people are those who have embraced that they are in control of their own destiny. Happy People Do Life Differently

So start investing in an economy that values you, all of you, 360 degrees of you. With The Evolved Economy your personal sense of value and "purposefilledness" is where the reimbursement gets ridiculous. I am embracing ridiculous, are you?
