The Power of Stories

The following is a copy of an email I received from Dan Klatt.  The subject of the email was:

 

Case Study: Terry’s Story (The perspective shift will be valuable)

 

Hi Gary,

 

Look at this interesting story and appreciate the important perspective

shift…

 

Imagine for a moment that it’s the first of the month. Your refrigerator

is very nearly bare. You really don’t have enough to feed your wife and

kids breakfast, let alone lunch. And dinner? No way you have enough for

that. You’d like to pay your rent, yet your account is negative.

 

Worse, the electric company is coming tomorrow to turn off your power

unless you can pay the bill; which you can’t.

 

That was the position Terry Mills found himself in. He’d been laid off

some months previous and hadn’t been able to find work. A foolish and

misplaced sense of pride had kept him from applying for unemployment or

welfare … decisions he was sorely regretting.

 

Later, that night of the first of the month, he was in desperation over

what he could possibly do to feed his wife and kids and keep a roof over

their heads when he saw one of those “Save The Children” commercials.

You know the ones. Showing starving and homeless kids from around the

world and pleading for you to help out with a donation.

 

Terry realized something, and through that realization came a decision.

First, he realized that as bad as his situation was, he was living like a

KING compared to many others. As such, his situation really wasn’t that

bad. That then lead him to make a decision. He decided he would do

whatever it took to be able to donate ten grand to that charity … and do

it before the end of the month. He went so far as to call the company and

make the plege.

 

Understand that at this point his bank account was negative, he had little

food, and his electricity was in emminent danger of being turned off. In

fact, Terry didn’t even have any loose change in the house because he’d

already used it all buying what little food there was left in the house.

 

Yet, here he was making a HUGE plege to donate money. He was literally

pleging to give money he didn’t even have yet.

 

Some would say that what he did was irresponsible and/or foolish.

 

However, the morning of the very next day he met my friend Richard.

Somehow, and for some reason, Terry spilled his guts about his situation

to Richard. Also for some reason, Richard took the time to listen.

 

After the two had talked for a while, Richard gave Terry an idea he

could use to make some fast cash (keep reading for details on how to

get the same info Terry got).

 

Almost miraculously, Terry used what he learned to make $1,000 THAT SAME

DAY. It kept his electricity on and put food in his house. Further (and

while his landlord wasn’t happy, he understood) two weeks later Terry got

his rent paid. Two weeks after that …

 

Terry sent a check for ten grand to the charity.

 

So how did he do it?

 

How did he go from so totally broke to so … being able to give a nonprofit

$10,000 (and so quickly)?

 

Well, to prevent this from becoming a crazy long email, Richard and I

have put together a special report that explains what happened, how it

happened, and *WHY* it happened.

 

You’ll be given the exact same methods and techniques Richard gave

Terry to use, and you’ll understand exactly how he transformed his life

the way he did. Most importantly, you’ll learn how to get the universe to

align with you and your actions to get what you want, which can help

you enjoy similar results as Terry by doing what he did and using the

exact rapid cash generation technique Terry learned.

 

This report comes with absolutely no strings or anything like that. We

aren’t selling it to you, there won’t be some opt-in form to fill out to

get it or anything like that.

 

To download the report just go to:

Warmly,

Dan

 

 

P.S. Did you look at http://www.PersonalGrowthLounge.com yet?

 

If you didn’t, take a few minutes to visit, because I think you’ll be

excited about all the things you’re getting to “learn and grow and

become a better person, in just a few thoughtful minutes each day”.

 

*********************************************************  

When I put the email in my word document, I noticed many spelling errors, yet I did not notice them when I read the email.  That’s the mesmerizing effects of a story.  Did you download the report to learn how Terry pulled himself up out of despair?  I bet you did or that you will soon.  Yes, I am going to work on writing more by telling stories.  After all, that was one of the main forms of communicating and teaching 2,000 years ago.

Have We Reached the “END TIMES”?

10. October 2008 by admin.

We are living in perhaps the most interesting time in history. People are stating that we are in the times the Bible describes as the End Times.  If you believe this then you are 100% correct.  However if you believe in your ability to make your life whatever you choose it to be then you are also right.  After all we are the only animal on earth that has the ability to choose.  There must be a reason for that.  Perhaps it is because our creator wants us to be in charge of our own life.

During the first “Great Depression” people were saying the same things and many people suffered and died poor.  However, others chose not to believe that and they did very well and actually made a lot of money during the Depression.

I just listened to the teleconference call by Robert Kiyosaki and Mike Dillard spoke about predicting the future.  Basically they said that whatever we believe will be true for us.  However talk is cheap.  If you feel that the end is near and you crawl into a hole and cover your eyes and ears then your end is upon you. 

If on the other hand you say “I am going to do the very best I can to make things better for me.”, and you take action to make the very best of today, then you can come out of this depression better off than most people.

I was at the dentist yesterday to have my teeth cleaned.  I asked my hygienist what other people are talking about.  She said people talk about and are concerned about the economy and the upcoming elections.  She told me that people are concerned about whom to vote for, that it is a choice between the lesser of two evils.  My reply was “Why do we think we have to choose between the two most visible candidates?”  We do have other choices in the elections.  We do not have to vote for Obama or McCain.  We can choose not to vote for either of them or we can vote for anyone else on the ballot.

When I told my Mom about this she said that I would be throwing away my vote if I didn’t vote for either one.  Well, imagine, what would it be like if McCain and Obama only received 2 votes each?  What would that be telling the politicians?  What would that be telling the world?  I guess you could say the silent majority has spoken.  Besides our votes actually don’t count anyway.  The Electoral College decides who becomes president.

Well, back to Kiyosaki.  He strongly feels that we each must take care of ourselves.  We must choose to be in control of our own lives.  We must take responsibility for our lives.  He also strongly recommends having your own business and he feels network marketing is the very best business model to follow.

So we have two main choices.  We can either buy into what the media is telling us and hope the government will somehow bail us out or we can decide to take responsibility for our lives and begin our own business.  There are no excuses for not starting your own business.  Whether you are old or young, rich or poor, educated or uneducated, there is a business you can successfully run.  You just need to find a way to add value to the lives of others and make money doing so.  It will take work and it may take time and it will require stepping out of your comfort zone.  But change we must if we want to come out of this depression standing on our own two feet.  Robert Kiyosaki said, “If you are not ahead of change, you become a victim of change.”  Another word for “change” can be “growth”

So we are not in the “End Times”.  We are in the “Time of Change”.
