Back when I was in college I took a ‘gym’ class called “Physical Fitness for Life”.  Half the time we stretched in a small gym, and the other half we lifted weights and did cardio in an exercise room.   After this class I would go to my gym and work out again.   I was 20 years old and life was good.

The whole concept of the class was to build routines that kept physical activity a part of your life after college so that you could enjoy life and reduce risks of disease.   While the concept is genius, in practice it is very tough.

Building habits are very tough.   It always take time, and focus.     The truth is if you build good habits, then Physical fitness for life is relatively easy.  Whenever you encounter a stressful situation, or you have to make a last second choice your instinct is often formed by your mental habits.

For our purposes the lifestyle habits that are essential are:  Diet and Exercise.

Diet:  This is the toughest one for me.   I have never been a “proper” eater.  My diet has always been full of sugar, fats, fast food, etc.    These habits have made me develop a sort of addiction to the taste of these foods.  The salt, the sugar, the fat, the cholesterol.   Do you have the same situation?

Steps for Change: 

1. Make a strong mental decision to change the way you eat.

2. Reinforce that decision every time you find yourself eating the things you want to eat less of.  ex: At Burger king, tell yourself how bad the food is, and how you don’t need it.

3.  Slowly begin to phase out the bad foods in your diet.   Be slow, and be successful.    Going cold turkey is reserved for the hard core and those with the plan to fail.

4. As you start putting healthier foods into your diet, reinforce this decision by telling yourself how good things taste or how much better you feel.   You have to be real with yourself.

5. Keep phasing good food in, and bad food out and soon enough you will be in the Top 20% of the people in the country.

Now:  Did you notice something?    Out of 5 total steps 3 of those steps were only mental decisions.    The first two steps were initiated before any changes were actually made.   I feel this is CRITICAL.   For diet, and for life in order to make sweeping changes and become ultra successful at something you try it requires mental dedication and re-dedication.

If you take away one lesson from this post it should be:  Always commit yourself mentally before changing your actions, and if at all possible, commit yourself at least twice over.   The more positive, committed self-talk you have, the more successful you will be.

Stay tuned for the 2nd part:  Exercise.

At the Minds of Wealth we focus on all areas of Wealth, including Physical Wealth. This is a short summary of what I went through when someone said “Got Fiber?”

First off.. what the hell is Dietary Fiber? Ok.. Fiber.. Metamucil.. Grandma’s and Grandpas.. bland.. boring. These were the first things that popped into my mind.

However according to a small site known as Wikipedia: it is the indigestible portion of plant foods that move food through the digestive system absorbing water and making defecation easier.

So in plain English: It makes you poop better. There is a whole lot more than just this, however this is the first thing you may notice.

Just don’t go diving into piles of Fiber though, or you may end up living in the bathroom for awhile. Studies have shown that most people in the U.S. do not get the recommended amount of fiber in their diet.

For most the correct amount is: 20-35 grams per day. I decided to study my own diet and check out the nutritional labels on the foods I consumed most. Uh oh.. almost NO fiber. Whoops.

The more I looked into it the more I found that I needed to get some Fiber.

There is a great article here: Fiber 101

The benefits included:

Reduced risk for heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer. These are things that aren’t in my mind at 26, but will be at 56. The best way to build Physical Wealth for the future is begin today.

In changing my bad eating habits I am starting to mix in: Peanuts, Carrots, Eggs, Super Whole grain bread, and apples. Green leafy vegetables are also on the horizon including broccoli and spinach.

If your natural eating habits need a little “American” help, then my suggestion is supplements. There are many Fiber supplements that will help you get your Fiber.

*If your body is used to consuming little to no fiber do NOT overload it!   This will cause cramping, bloating, and other bathroom issues.  So please ramp up slowly and you will have NO problems. *

How will you do it? Make a commitment!

Good luck and stay tuned for more healthy eating tips.

In the massive cluster of the virtual blog world, you can find many sites with many visitors.  We hope that our site will eventually reach this status.  In the meantime we have assembled an in person group based on the Master Mind philosophy in the Power of Focus.

This small set of individuals meeting about once every two weeks is the only one of its kind that we are aware of in our area.  There are many so called “Leads groups” which seem to be more focused on bureaucracy and telling the same people about their same business than actually trying to improve business. 

Our goals are to use each other to stay focused on our individual goals, get feedback and opinions about how to better our businesses, and to use our collective thoughts to create something exponentially more powerful than any of us could do alone. 

We currently have a lawn care company, an eBay store, a contractor/real estate expert of all trades/ and a media creative computer genius.  Each of us from very different backgrounds, in different boats but in the same small pond.  

I encourage anyone reading this blog to put together their own group.   We initially were going to put an ad in the paper looking for a “Super Mentor Business Extraordinaire”. Due to some procrastination and missing newspaper deadlines we didn’t make that happen.  We were fortunate enough that Matt made some phone calls and put together the group as it stands now.

Stay tuned to the blog for updates about the future we hold in our hands.

Read this special article before considering buying or joining a “Get Rich Quick” program.

This article came from the experts at www.AlltheDough.com

January 27th 2008

From the desk of Jane Sanders (Senior Reviewer)

Wouldn’t it be nice to make a bundle of money quickly, with minimal effort, working at home in your pajamas? Of course it would. I for one would love to have money flowing into my bank account, working only a few hours a week from home, so I’d have more time to spend with my kids and my husband, without any boss looking over my shoulder.

Whether it’s real estate investing, selling by classified ads, stock market investing, internet affiliate marketing, or something else, we’ve all seen the fantastic claims people make about making tons of money, AND how they can show you how to do the same thing. I can tell you right now that 99% of these people are total frauds. You may have even fallen prey to one of these scam artists, selling you their latest “Get Rich Quick” program. Me too. I’ve bought so many of these programs that I can’t even recall how many. I don’t know why, but I tend to find the “good” in people, and I was “sold” by the marketing schemes time and time again, even after being scammed by another. Finally, after so many disappointments, I got FED UP. I decided to get to the bottom of this fascination we all have with get rich quick programs, and find out if there really were any LEGITIMATE programs for making money.

I literally contacted the administrator of every get rich quick website I could find. Posing as an investor, I managed to convince the owners that I was seriously interested in purchasing their entire website and business. That way, once the dollar signs flashed in their heads, they would give me free access to their member’s areas to review what I would be ”buying”. Well I was disgusted with 99% of what I found. Many of the owners actually boasted about how many people bought their useless programs. I repeatedly found:

• Outdated information
• Non-working links
• Links leading to other sites that asked for more money
• No help section
• No real e-mail support

I quickly realized that these so-called Get Rich Quick programs were totally useless. And the owners knew it, yet they were laughing all the way to the bank! Needless to say, I didn’t respond when they asked me if I was still interested in buying their websites. Surprisingly, while sifting through all of the scam artists’ websites, I was able to locate a couple individuals that actually ran legitimate programs.

The owners were everyday peoples like you and I that found a way to make extra money working from home on their computers. Their membership areas were impressive, with a good amount of quality information on how to make $100-$200 per day on your computer doing very little work. I even chatted with a few of their customers on several online forums, and they verified that they were making extra money through the sites. It was like I found a few diamonds in the rough. But don’t take my word for it, you can visit the 2 sites for yourself. See what you think.

They do charge a minimal fee for access to their program, which is to be expected for any legitimate company that actually has people on staff who are dedicated to helping you get started. What a friendly group of people! Anyway, if you do decide you are interested in either of the two programs below, I advice you join quickly, as the owners have informed me that are getting so many new members by word of mouth referrals, that they are closing off membership completely in the next 2 or 3 days. (By the way, you didn’t hear this from us!) They don’t have a large enough staff to accommodate many more people, and they are dedicated to providing excellent service to each person.

Well, my search for legitimate Get Rich Quick programs has come to an end. I have to say I was thoroughly disappointed with most of what I found, and I strongly advise that you do not take chances joining any programs other than the ones listed below! Whatever you do, I wish you a healthy, prosperous year for you and yours.

All the best.

Signed,                                                                                                                                                               Jane Sanders
