Hello High-Achiever,
--- Welcome to MARK'S CORNER ---
It's the time of year I usually think about where I am and where I'm going. For goodness sake, we're at the middle of 2006! Time is flying.
If I told you how many knuckle-head things I've done this year you'd have one long, loud belly-laugh. Just one example is how I have NOT written to you. I should have done it sooner. But I'm making changes. My commitment is to get you practical, useful information that saves you time, money and helps you achieve your goals (hey, I'm using this information also ).
What about you. How much progress have you made in the past 6 months? If you maintain your current pace, how will you feel at the end of the year? Now is the time to make adjustments. Remember, if you want different results you have to do something different!
And with Memorial Day approaching my thoughts and prayers go to our troops and all families impacted by the pains of war. It's a reminder of how precious life is. How we should cherish and make the most of every moment.
So lets get on with the show...

It's new and people are giving it 'rave' reviews!
Today's issue is about 'emotion' and success
Quote Of The Day
"Emotions aren't always immediately subject to reason, but they are always immediately subject to action”
The Emotional Secrets of Success
Most people discount the powerful impact emotions have on their success or failure. But this can be a big mistake. Consider the words of Napoleon Hill the author of the legendary classic 'Think And Grow Rich'...
Napoleon Hill On Emotion
"The emotions, or the 'feeling' portion of thoughts, are the factors which give thoughts vitality, life, and action."
He also said...
"ALL THOUGHTS WHICH HAVE BEEN EMOTIONALIZED, (given feeling) AND MIXED WITH FAITH, begin immediately to translate themselves into their physical equivalent."
Now you might think that Napoleon Hill, in the above quote, over promises but let me give you some surprising research by a billion dollar retail corporation.
In the book "The Marketing Power of Emotion" by O'Shaughnessy and O'Shaughnessy, they discuss an unusual study. The study reveals the "Emotion in Cola Buying by Teenagers". That's right 'emotion' in cola buying. Did you know that there's emotion in cola buying? Neither did I. But it turns out that there's a huge emotional thought process. Let's take a look...
Marketers collected the thoughts of teenagers in New York City, aged 13 and 14. The teenagers were asked to think aloud "off the top of their heads," about the 3 different stages of the cola-soda experience.
The teenagers were asked...
1. Think aloud about your thoughts just before you buy cola (anticipation...)
2. Think aloud about your thoughts during buying
3. Think aloud about your thoughts after buying (the retrospective account )
Here's how they answered the first question... just before buying they thought of "being full of life, not miserable or sluggish".
Notice that emotions are driving their desire to buy cola. And their emotions are based on imagination (Napoleon Hill's 5th Step To Riches).
Here's how they answered the second question... while buying they felt "relaxed, not tense or anxious".
Wow! When you consider all the emotion they got for just 99 cents it doesn't sound like a bad deal. And it didn't end there...
Here's how they answered the final question... After buying they felt like they were "part of a social group, not and outsider looking on".
Did you know so much thinking and emotion went into buying a cola? You can be pretty certain that even the teenagers weren't aware of their own thought processes. In fact, cognitive psychologists estimate that 99% of our daily thoughts are unconscious!
What does this mean to you? How can this information help you succeed?
You can take a page out of the marketer's book. Examine the 3 stages of 'buying' your own "success producing activities".
How do you feel about success-producing activities like goal-setting, affirmations, planning, visualizations or reading?
Key Question: What emotional thoughts do you attach to activities that build your success?
How do you feel BEFORE the success-producing activity?
How do you feel DURING the success-producing activity?
How do you feel AFTER the success-producing activity?
A negative answer to any one of these questions can sabotage your success.
Everything you do has 3 sets of feelings. Unfortunately negative feelings in any of the 3 keys areas can prevent you from taking action.
The beauty of this new information is that now that you're aware of these stages you can consciously set yourself up for success.

Funny of The Day:
When you have had one of those TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT days, try this.
On your way home after work, stop at your pharmacy and go to the section where they have thermometers. You will need to purchase a rectal thermometer made by *Q-Tip. Be very sure that you get this brand.
When you get home, lock your doors, draw the drapes, and disconnect the phone so you will not be disturbed during your therapy. Change to very comfortable clothing, such as a sweat suit and lie down on your bed.
Open the package containing the thermometer and remove the thermometer and carefully place it on the bedside table so that it will not become chipped or broken.
Take the written material that accompanies the thermometer and as you read it you will notice in small print the statement that *every rectal thermometer made by Q-Tip is PERSONALLY tested.
Now close your eyes and say out loud five times, "I am so glad that I do not work in quality control at the Q-Tip Company." !
Well, that's all for today. Know that I'm in your corner.
And keep Thinking And Growing Rich!
