Your Secret Barrier to Wealth

By Dr. Joe Vitale

I just read Dan Kennedy's September No B.S. Marketing Letter and was thrilled to see him talk about mindsets and language.

In one section he explained that talking about negative things makes your clients and customers feel bad, which in turn makes them less inclined to buy from you.

People want to feel good. I talked about this in my book, Life's Missing Instruction Manual. Even Kennedy, who can be a grump, realizes that focusing on doom and gloom will simply make people tighten their hold on their wallets or purses.

Instead, focus on the good, talk about the positive, and help people feel better.

Dan's back page essay -- always my favorite part of his No B.S. newsletter -- is all about how your own thinking leads to the reality you create.

Dan begins his article by saying the other day he deposited $802,486.00 in the bank.

Not bad for a day's work. (It was for more than a day's work, but you get the idea.)

Dan goes on to brilliantly explain that most of us -- even him, even me -- have a "secret barrier" within us that keeps us from bringing in a larger income.

Whatever income you have right now is there because you are comfortable with it.

You probably made far less money decades ago. As you grew more comfortable, as you raised your secret barrier, you could allow more money into your life.

In short, you are earning what you are expecting.

The way to sell more and raise your income is to help people feel good and to work on your inner secret barrier.

How do you change your secret barrier to wealth?

You read this blog. You read Dan Kennedy. You read books about the wealthy. You subscribe to magazines for the affluent. You read my book, The Attractor Factor. You watch the movie The Secret. You get into or create a mastermind group of wealthy people. You surround yourself with wealth and prosperity so you can begin to accept it, feel it, own it, and expect it.

In short, you get comfortable with the idea of wealth.

Two tips:

1. Subscribe to Dan's newsletter. He's a genius and a living legend. You can get a three month subscription, to try it out, at www.freegiftfrom.com/dankennedy/ 2. Get the Milagro Manifestation Method CD's and put them in your iPod or on your PC or Mac, or in your car or wherever you can soak up their music and messages. See www.milagromethod.com

These CD's are so powerful that last night at dinner Bill Hibbler said when he puts one of the CD's on, he instantly becomes a powerhouse copywriter.

I think the CD's are so potent that I asked Pat O'Bryan at dinner last night to bring me another set, so I can send them to a company I know that may want to promote them.

Get your own set at www.milagromethod.com

Bottomline: You get what you expect.

Or, as Dan says in his newsletter, "You'll only get to bank what your internal system permits you to accept."

Ao Akua,

Obtaining Texas Health Insurance While Avoiding Fraud

By Jordan FeRoss

When most people think of fraud, they generally think of credit card or identity fraud, They do not realize that one of the fastest growing forms of fraud today is health insurance fraud. Because you provide personal information when applying for health insurance online, it makes you more vulnerable to fraud. As with any online purchase, you need to use simple, common sense safety precautions, especially because of the amount of personal information shared.

Because setting up an online insurance shop is so easy for just about anyone, it can be difficult to know who to trust when providing sensitive information to someone supposedly selling you insurance. You must always be vigilant when using the Internet to shop for health insurance in Texas. And keep in mind that if it sounds to good to be true it probably is, especially with regard to health insurance.

Here are some different ways to detect fraud when looking to get health insurance in Texas. One trick to look for is what is called a "pyramid" scheme. It works when you sign up to pay a membership fee online in order to get health insurance. The scheme offers people financial perks if they agree to this and invest their money. They also try to encourage you to get more people involved to do the same thing.

This will create more cash in the pot. In addition to that, others are asked to sell memberships to others and pitch the same script. With the so-called "health insurance", members are also told that they can take money against the value of their insurance policies. Unfortunately, there is nothing to show for it. Health insurance in Texas is a big business and there are people that will try to profit from it any way they can.

Another popular scam leads you to believe you are purchasing a regular health insurance plan in Texas. They advertise the lowest rates around and draw you in with false promises. As soon as you try to submit a claim you find out that you don't have any insurance at all.

There are other scams where people get duped easily. There are people that set up bogus companies only for the "owners" to take the money and run. There are others where an agent advertises online to get business and find out that it's just another scam.

Another one of the major frauds regarding health insurance in Texas is when unlicensed agents attempt to sell you health insurance. The laws in Texas require both the insurance company and the agent to be licensed in order to sell you health insurance. This protects the consumer and makes sure that an agent knows what they are doing before they sell a product like health insurance in Texas that has a huge impact on a person's life and well-being. If you find suspicious activity that may be fraudulent, you should report it to the better business bureau and any other local or state agency that deals with fraud. - 15275

Avoid Winter Harm to Your Skin - Naturally

By Marilyn Etzel

Winter brings cold temperatures when it comes. It can also provide us with glistening white snows for sledding and skiing. But, winter weather can dry the skin and damage it if we are not careful. Learn methods for keeping this from happening without resorting to chemicals.

It is not uncommon for skin to appear dry, red, and itchy during the winter months. Our skin lacks moisture do to the drying conditions of winter. Layering clothing doesnt stop the dryness from occurring. Moisturizing our skin is the key.

1. Hydrate with water"Drinking water gives our bodies an internal shower. The more moisture we take in, the better our skin will look. It will also resist drying when we sweat. Our skin is also an organ that needs moisture to stay healthy.

2. Moisturize at night"Even if we put on lotions or creams during the day, we might forget to do so at night. We cover up to stay warm, but that is not enough. Activities throughout the day deplete the moisture in the skin and not moisturizing at night continues the process. Cover your skin with a layer of moisturizing lotion before bed. To keep feet from getting dry and cracked, massage them with a natural salve or balm and cover them with socks.

3. Dont go outside without sunscreen"The glare of the sun on the snow can cause sunburn even if you dont feel hot. Without a protectant, the radiation penetrates deep into the skin and can cause damage that ruin our skin and put us at risk for skin cancers. Prevent dryness and skin damage with zinc and other moisturizers with sunscreen.

4. Use a humidifier"The air in winter can be very dry. Even in the house, the heat can have a drying effect on the skin and the nasal passages. To add bits of moisture to the air invest in a humidifier. There are two types: warm and cool mist. A cool mist humidifier adds moisture to the air but lowers the temperature a few degrees for comfort.

5. Exfoliate your skin"This can be accomplished with skin creams that contain microbeads, a sugar scrub, or by using a loofah sponge. Using gently circular motions, the exfoliant removes dead skin from our body. A weekly scrub allows healthy skin cells to absorb the moisturizers better and the skin can maintain a healthy level of moisture.

6. Lukewarm showers"Taking a shower at cooler temperatures keeps pores closed so they dont lose moisture. Shorter showers prevent skin dryness. Rinse off quickly after lathering up to keep skin soft. Apply a moisturizing lotion after toweling off.

Winter winds can wreak havoc with our skin and leave us irritated. Learn to protect your skin by adding these simple steps to your daily routine. - 15275

Who was Eleanor Rigby

By John Savage

Do you remember that haunting song by the Beatles, the one with the line Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried along with her name, nobody came?

A rather depressing song I think and not one that we had grown to get used to from the Beatles.

So, who was Eleanor Rigby, and was she a real person or was she just a figment of the imagination, something like lovely Rita, meter maid?

Well now, as a matter of good fortune I recently had the chance to play a few gigs in Liverpool, and during my free time I decided to see just what I could find out about Eleanor Rigby.

So, I popped along to the local library, did a little bit of research, and then headed for the part of Liverpool known as Woolton.

When I arrived in Woolton I straight away visited the local church, and their in the churchyard my eye was drawn to one particular tombstone.

Wait for it. The headstone is dedicated to an Eleanor Rigby.

So, having found this fascinating tombstone I then wondered if any of the Beatles might possibly have lived nearby. And guess what, John Lennon used to live as a child in Menlove Avenue, which is quite close to the church.

This made me think back to my childhood, and I remember as a young boy I and my friends would often play in our local churchyard, playing hide and seek and other games behind the headstones.

Is it therefore not very likely that John Lennon, as a child, was also a frequent visitor to his local churchyard, and knew about the tombstone dedicated to Eleanor?

This was becoming very exciting for me, but sadly I only had a couple of days in Liverpool before heading off, so was not able to complete my research.

But I will be back. This is becoming very interesting to me, and I want to know more about Eleanor Rigby, and the other names that appear on her tombstone.

If you would like to be kept posted on this, and kept up to date with my research, then please click on the following link at the bottom of the page. You will be taken to another page and near the bottom you will find my email address. Just send me a note saying keep me informed or something like that, and I will email you whenever I have found out some fresh information. - 15275

Chlamydia 5 minute guide Chlamydia Quick guide

By Andrew Histon Andrew Cambridge

The most common STI in the country, as well as the one which many people do not know enough about, is chlamydia.

Chlamydia is the most common STI in the UK today, with many people not even knowing that they have it. Nicolette Heaton-Harris explains in Sexually Transmitted Infections, You can be infected by chlamydia [clamidia / clamydia] through vaginal, oral or anal sex. If you are sexually active in any way, there is a risk that you could get infected with chlamydia (clamidia / clamydia).

Symptoms include: a burning sensation when urinating, pain in the lower back and abdomen and discharge from the penis or vagina.

If chlamydia [clamidia /clamydia] goes undiagnosed for a very long time, then serious problems affecting future fertility and health can present themselves.

Females who have contracted chlamydia present themselves with an increased risk of also contracting HIV if exposed to it.

Being tested for chlamydia usually involves either a swab test or urine sample, and can be carried out by your GP, who will test for chlamydia infection. Your doctor will also provide you with any STD facts to help prevent you contracting other sexually transmitted infections in the future.

Your doctor can also provide you with STD facts to help you prevent any other infections contracted through sexual activity.

In order to prevent yourself from catching chlamydia, it is essential that you use a condom, and that you become aware of all the information available to you, so that if you do contract it, you will know the course of action to take. - 15275
