The Bizarre Overlooked way to open the flow of riches into your life...Proven Results Guaranteed

The easiest way to open the flow of riches...

Unfortunately we are surrounded by a lot of negative energy. Yet,
if we can raise our energy, we will start to feel ourselves pulling
out of the negative energy surrounding us.

The energy in our environment is often pulling us down so we have
to protect ourselves by aligning ourselves with people and situations
that do not deplete our energy.

Bottom line, if something makes you feel bad, do something else!

Easy,Proven,Guaranteed Results-is it possible?

How can we build up our energy? By only focusing on things that
make us feel good. I have also found associating with like-minded
people raises my energy faster than anything else because I am
surrounded by the groups combined energy.

The problem is, when I leave that uplifting energetic environment
and go back to my normal daily routine, that higher energy level is
often dissipated.

The power of a made up mind-

I soon realized that I had to learn to condition my energy to
maintain or vibrate at a consistently high level. Once I learned
how to maintain my energy, I could also use that energy to uplift
other people.

The easiest way to do this is to make the decision
that you will feel "good".  That's all it takes.  If you feel "bad"
in any moment, reach for a thought that makes you feel just a
little bit better and see what happens.

Proven Results Guaranteed-

One of the fastest ways to open the flow of riches into your life
is to help other people raise their energy. In fact, it has become
a major part of my purpose to raise the energy of every person I
meet.  This is not easy to do, but the rewards are far beyond the
effort it takes to do this on a daily basis.

The Unusual Power of a Simple Smile

I practice it every day. Even when I meet a total stranger, I make
the effort to uplift their energy, even if it is as simple as
giving them a smile or being warm and friendly.

Since energy is transferable without having to say a word, you can
raise the energy level of the people around you just by sending
them your thoughts.

Try this experiment.  As you come into contact
with other people, especially the ones that seem unhappy or
stressed, take a moment and project a good feeling toward them. Say
something like. "I wish the best for you."  Or better yet, say "I
love you".

Now I know this is not easy, but the rewards will be
well worth your time and effort if you do it consistently, moment by
moment and day by day. It has an accumulative affect that will
simply amaze you.

Why Feeling "Good" is Overlooked

If you are like most people you will read this and say, "I cannot
see how this is going to help my money situation. I bought this
program to increase the flow of money into my life. Just show me
how to do that!" 

That's EXACTLY what I am showing you right now.
The money you desire will flow into your life in direct proportion
to the energy level or consciousness you are willing to maintain.

Now you have two choices. You can read this and forget about
it, agreeing that it is a good idea but do nothing about it, OR you
can DO something about it.  Just try it for a week and see what a
difference it makes in your life.

I highly recommend that you get this product, Today! It is a step by
step guide on exactly how to open the flow into your life AND the
cool part is there is a 15 min. audio that walks you through on EXACTLY
how to get your purchase price back, Guaranteed!

the actually purchase price, how cool is that!  Get the information

The more you know about Marketing and Business, the lazier you get!

Marketing & Business are simple, just do something!

The more one know's about marketing or business, the less they do...have you noticed that. We get all goo goo eyed at the big names who are knocking it out of the park, and so we have to stop our business to learn the latest fad, or trick... what are they doing with there marketing and business?

ACTION creates ACTION or Motion creates Motion.

You see, the more time you spend learning business and marketing, that takes away from your the hidden energy that provides the result.

Have you ever heard of ignorance on fire? I personally would rather have a 100 of those as one accomplished "know it all" you know what I mean, you have this super person talking about all they are going to do, how they can do it, they sign up, your excited because your going to be rich, and then NOTHING happens...(been there so many times, lost my count)

Back to how the bigtime people do it, Action means a body in motion, Inaction is a body at rest:

Now with that being said, see if this sounds familiar-

You set lofty well intended goals, and then you rush around trying to find information about how to market, the latest trend, what's the magic bullet of the day, right!

The bigtime marketers know this and guess what they offer you, exactly, information on the latest trend, facebook marketing platform whatever, there is no shortage of it,

WHY:

They learned that action creates more action, so they take action to offer a service that creates inaction so they can take action to create another service or tool that promotes inaction.

The more you learn about Marketing and Business, you start doing a little of this method here, a little of that black hat trick there and you see NO results, so you go back to playing games on facebook, watching tv etc...

Then low and behold, there is another commercial, email or service that promotes LAZINESS, whoops I mean the latest and greatest way to get all the riches you ever desired.

For 21 years, I have been following this one thing, granite I do not know much about marketing, business or any advanced stuff, what I do is to set a small attainable goal and take action, do the action of an ad, an email or a blog post and let it go!

It does not matter what you say in the ad, you could hire some ugly person to dance around naked holding signs and put it on youtube directing people to your website (it may not work but? lol) bottom line is make it your goal to do one sale a day, it may take you 6 days, 6weeks or 6 months but it will happen, want to know why?

INTENSITY

What would you do if every grocery store went out of business, and you were starving, I bet you would learn how to get food in a hurry wouldn't you.

The problem with all those gurus selling you more how too is they learned if they can make it sound comfortable for you to get rich you will buy! That's it PERIOD...

Refrain from anything comfortable, teach your brain to do what is uncomfortable and you will see tremendous almost super natural help show up, sometimes completely out of the blue!

What ever your comfort is, is what is zapping your intensity, if you place your intensity high around food, making a sale a day, spending more time with family and friends, what ever it is, The law of physics will take over and the corresponding energy will show up!

Don't think it is true, do this, REFRAIN from eating or drinking for 24 hours (I am personally doing it right now, on my 17th hour) and see how your brain tries to make you go for that pizza, or whatever your favorite food is, the more you refrain, you will train your brain that you are in control and a major breakthrough will happen.

You can do this with your crack berry (I mean black berry) media, what ever you think you have to have, refrain for a set amount of time and focus on what it is you want every time the feeling of I have to have it, in that moment you feel or think that while your refraining, just say NO, I am going to make a sale a day, or whatever it is your doin it for.

Me personally, I am doing a 24 hour absolute fast from food and water, followed up with a 4 day food fast, I started the year off with a 3 day fast and had some major mountains moved out of my life, so for me I know it works.

Don't get lazy with information, just do something everyday, no matter how small or ridiculous it is and you will start accumulating intensity around the thing and that magic will happen, I promise!

Better yet, get something like this and push a button to get people that are interested right now and use this tool to contact them all, if they sign up, great if not, do it again tomorrow, just keep doing something!  Action creates Action-Everytime!-Read more about it here:

How to make Everyday a Friday-is it possible? TGIF

Just imagine your feelings like you have on Friday but every day of the week, is it possible?

That feeling of come on 5 o clock, and then it arrives, you feel so elated, the possibility of what fun and exciting times await, where do I go, who do I want to have fun with, well Great News!

It's not only possible to feel like you do on Friday but it is an absolute fact that feeling can be generated Everyday! Have the TGIF feeling 7 days a week on autopilot.

The following is excerpts from Joel Osteen's book-  Everyday a Friday, How to be happier 7 days a week... It is worth the read, if you have not read it, here are the cliff notes from my point of view.

Here is a 6 step plan to make  Everyday a Friday happen for you:

1. Don't Give Away your Power you need it all for you.

What I mean is stop complaining about how bad it is, or I don't have enough money or can you believe what so and so said.  When you complain you remain stuck in that position and most likely you will be subjected to this test until you get it, if you would just turn the complaining into praise (gratitude) you will be raised, taken to a new level. 

When you feel like complaining, catch yourself, this has to a conscience effort until you do it long enough to create a habit when the feeling of complaining strikes but once it is a habit, it is so wonderful. 

If you do not like something, find something about it that you can be grateful about and you will bring into your world more things to be grateful about.

For Example:

My spouse gets on my nerves - find something good like, My spouse is an excellent kisser (you get the point-just find something no matter how small it is)

Memorize this phrase-

If I Complain I remain when I Praise I will be raised...

2. Know what to ignore, run your race and let others run there’s.

Too often our Joy is robbed from us by our on need to stick our noses where they do not belong.  We interject our opinion in a bad situation or just plain give our Joy away by allowing some one’s bad day to effect us.

If we could learn the art of forgive quickly and zip our lips, we would realize most of the time that we would be happy not getting involved.

Most of the time our perspective is way off basis and that destroys our moods.

A lot of people are losing their jobs, have you ever thought that is a blessing in disguise?

You may lost your job so that a better one can come to you, as long as you were at that old job you were stopping the gift of a new job where you could excel, be promoted, heck even appreciated.

Taking life from a different perspective and looking at the brighter side of life is hard but it is worth it, I have never heard of someone on their death bed saying “bring me my latest bank statement and my assets portfolio” No, instead they want friends and family members.

Live a no regrets life, we only get one shot, if someone has wronged you, forgive them, you will be vindicated if you keep on the high road.  Forgive yourself, most of the time you are carrying hurt done by another that is doing nothing but hurting you, I bet the other person does not even know you are hurt.  This too shall pass, Forgive and let go so the miracle can be unleashed into your life.

3. Live without crutches, you do not need to depend on anyone as you have tremendous power and talents yourself.

I have seen so many people that are diamonds in the rough, they are so talented and the potential inside of them is so great that it would change mankind.

The Problem is they allow themselves to live by the approval of others, I am not saying to be a jerk what I am saying is, you have seeds of greatness in you and the only way to get them to take root is to plant them.

Yes, sometimes people will not understand, That’s OK, ever great Man or Woman had naysayers, yet when asked “what do you think about this person” they say who is that, and the person asking the question says it is your biggest outspoken critic. 

You see, if you run your race and focus on your dreams, goals and aspirations, you will not be distracted by all the turmoil going on around you, I promise staying focused you will attract into your world people that will celebrate you and help you to achieve your goals. 

The others will come around and if they do not, they did not need to be in your life in the first place.  Just say thank you for helping to know I am doing what is in my heart and to let them go.  If they are truly for you, they will come around…Guaranteed!

4.Laugh often, researchers have reported that children laugh 200 times per day, adults laugh on average 14 times a day, laugh, it is free..I will explain why this is so important;

Our society numbs us down, we get so busy chasing the golden handcuffs that we let life just pass us by, you speed through life thinking you have to go go GO to make your dreams come about, that maybe true but, there has to be a balance of work and play.

Why show up to death a bitter person. See how this makes you feel:

"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other - body thoroughly used up and totally worn out, screaming: WOO HOO! What a kick ass ride!"

or

"Work like you don't need the money, love like you'll never get hurt, and dance like nobody's watching."

Stop relying on people to make you feel good, do what your heart tells you and if they do not understand, keep going, if they catch up, great if not, lucky you, your dream is still intact.

5. Be a dream releaser, the fastest way to attain your dreams is to help others achieve there’s.

I am pretty sure you have heard this, “Whatever you sow you shall reap” if you want money give money (cheerfully) if you want time, give time, if you want love, give love.

Too often our society has programmed us to be self centered prideful arrogant people, I know I became one and paid the price- Read my post on it here- http://workwithjohnpate.com/pain-misery-and-utter-destruction-in-your-life-and-why-this-is-a-good-thing/

The programming is flawed, the age ole principle of “whatever you sow you shall reap” applies every time for both good and bad, choose the path that you think is best.

Just know if you’re broke, you’re holding onto your money to tightly, if you’re depressed, you have not given love, if you do not have the time, you are destroying the precious moments with those you are running so hard for.

You do not have to go overboard, just a few kind words here, play a game with your child, give your loved ones a hug, be happy you have a car to be stuck in that traffic, as a lot of people do not even have that..get your perspective right, be kind, loving and happy with everyone you meet, do not pre-judge as you do not know their story on why they did what they did, just smile and move on.

This works, try it, I switched my mind to this and my life is getting better and better…I love you and here is my smile to you J pass it on!

6. Celebrate yourself; take pride in knowing that the mold was destroyed the moment you were born.

Even if you’re a twin, triplet or whatever the truth about you is that you are a magnificent unique creation.  Every gift, talent and ability is your own to use and to express.

Regardless of whatever is going on in your life, the most powerful weapon you have is your smile.  Your smile conveys so much about who you are it is insane. When life throws you a curve ball, send it back as a fast ball, right down the middle at 100 mph. Smile and know that you are a wonderful being…

I have never seen anyone like you, you are smart, talented and your beauty shines like a beacon in the night. 

Self esteem and a healthy self image is your birth right, you worth is priceless!  Take pride in the fact of who you are, if you are lacking in an area, do not beat yourself up, do something about it so you feel whole.

There will never be another YOU, so share you with the world, I am so grateful to have met you, you have changed my life for the better…

How to make money, even in a down economy-low cost-high income potential!

Are you looking for a low cost - high income money - making machine?

My name is John Pate and for the past few months, I've reached to the far corners of the internet, I've left no stone unturned.

I've joined many systems and started many online businesses to actually test their money making ability first hand...

I've spent several months trying to find a way for people to make large amounts of money, while not breaking the bank!

I've found a real business that produces massive results, that you can have up and running in minutes!

Take a few minutes and watch the video below about the business that the Part-Time Income System promotes 24 hours a day. It's an automated money-making machine that never sleeps.

After the video, you'll see how easy it is to use this system as an extra income stream in your spare time.

You'll see exactly how it works, and how you can have your own Part-Time Income System in a matter of minutes!

The system works, just work it!  Your Search is over:

You've just found a unique system for making extra cash part-time, and actually delivers what others don't... Real Results!

Everyone seems to claim that they have a way for you to earn extra cash online fast. They also claim to have the two essential ingredients...

Leverage and Residual Income

While these two ingredients are crucial for money-making success, other systems simply fail to deliver them, even though they claim to be packed full of them.

What's more disturbing, they want to charge you an arm and a leg, sometimes even your first born child, just to get started. It seems all they use their leverage for is to pry your credit card out of your wallet.

I've been marketing online for years and I have to tell you... I have never seen these kinds of results, fast results, anywhere...

And it's all due to the massive leverage and residual potential that this system has right from the start!

if you're interested in finally making some extra money online, finally seeing the results that you should, like all the other people promise but fall short of...

...then I want to show you how you can get started today, with a PROVEN Money-Making System, for less than what you spend on coffee every month. Take Action Today!

To your Success,

(New!)-The secret to mastering your inner game-Success leaves clues, this list of books is a major clue

Leaders are Readers Period.

Success leaves clues; this list of books below is a major piece to the puzzle.

Throughout history most all great men and women have been known for their great insights into many areas of life that affect us today. Reading has been proven to give average people an edge over non-readers that is measurable and noticeable.

Another staggering statistic is that people who avidly read tend to be smarter and are less likely to grow old (or at least they want feel old). Reading stimulates the brain, which enables you to handle problem solving, creative thinking and it reduces stress.

My name is John Pate. I think I can now come clean with the world and talk about my Utter destruction and why this will give you hope.  There is so much to this story I am sure I will not be able to put it all in context, just know I will do my best...

I am going to be candid to show the transformation, so reader beware...

Almost 15 months to the day (todays date is Jan.4th 2012), my world was rocked and completely blew up, a part of me knew it was coming but you never plan for the unexpected bombshells or landmines and the desmise that follows that would stop most (trust me it about did me in). Let me explain:

My beautiful young wife had me locked up on a misdeamnor charge borderline felony, the funny thing is I thought it would be a fine and I would let the dust settle at home and all would go on as we planned, HA, what unfolded is a NightMare!

Over the next few weeks, (I am still in jail mind you) the state started shoveling as much horse crap as they could up with truth or not, by the time Oct. 27th rolled around they had allegiations against me to have me in prison for 150 years, my wife left with all of our possessions and children to Fl. let the house go etc....this is the beginning of my chaos-keep reading!

Finally, on Dec. 11th I was able to get ahold of someone to get bonded out of jail, the very next day, my wife called up my parents and demanded to know why I was out, just like my dad told her, your looking for support and I can't help you the way my son can.  He has been blessed with unprecented wealth in his life and I am sure he will do a much better job than me... that was the last communication at all from her, so I do not even know if she is alive, if my children are ok...surely you can see where this pain is goin, keep readin...

Anyway, I will be honest, I did not have time to grieve in jail (67 days of pure enjoyment, yea right) as that is a sign of weakness or better yet like blood in the water which invites unpleasant behavior from the others that are jailed for good reason.

I was able to determine by Dec. 21st that I had lost it all, my home, my businesses, my partners, friends, family pretty much EVERYONE and EVERYTHING was gone. This was the lowest point of my life and I am ashamed to tell you the next part but I said I wanted to be open, honest and candid with you, so here goes...

By the time New Years Eve 2011 rolled around, I had been with out my family for 87 days, we spent every wakin moment together, did everything together, I mean we were always together for everything, no exceptions etc..., knowing this I decided I could not bare the pain anymore, I was willing to take the coward way out, I ordered a case of wine, went to walmart and bought a bottle of sleeping pills. What happened next has to be a miracle as I am still amazed.

I consumed 5 bottles of wine and took a bottle of sleeping pills figuring if I was done, I was really done...little to my knowledge, I woke up 16hrs. later completely refreshed? How???

I know I have been blessed in the past with tremendous wealth, oppurtunities, connections to die for, why would I be spared after doing this cowardly act of trying to kill myself?  I am still not sure to this day but there is good reason for it...I promise, keep reading

Jan. 3rd 2011, The state tries and tries to indight me on all the charges (little did I know that it was an election year for the sherrif and he needed a big case to win-thanks dude, for the unnecessary push to destroy me)  that would have me sent away for 150 plus years, they had to submit it multiple times to the grand jury and finally after it was all said and done, they indicted me on the lesser charge, my attorney told me it was the catch all, so they did not end up with egg on there face for wasting the State's money...OK, that helps, I said...

Granite I am still missing my children, my wife, despite all the utter ruin I was and had been subjected too, so I decided agaisnt the injunction order to tell my wife I loved her and I forgave her immediately (I am not one to hold a grudge, she knows that) well, my reward was they revoked my bond and through me back in jail...funny how they intentionally waited to 5:30pm on that day to hear my case...the damned banks were closed...hahaha, not really but you get my point.

I realized even though I had been indicted on the lesser charge all the big charges were still just hanging out there, which put me into a tailspin of despair once again...what have I done, I was so motivated, giving, caring etc..and I had become this monster, a work a holic, not spending time with my family...any and all negative statements I could think of, I was really beating myself up at this point!

My wife always said with passion and feeling, "if we were not here you would have it all back, that we (my family) was holding me back from greatness"...well, her declarition or affirmation came true, partly...

Why pain, misery and utter destruction is a blessing in disguise you may ask, I have not forgot...

Here's Why-

You see, what happened to me is a nightmarish hell, I was reliving it over and over with passionate anger, disgust, despair etc...and it was just prolonging the pain I was in...this next part is hard to grasp but if you get it, it will change your life dramatically!

I am not going off on a religious rant here but I started reading the bible and started listening to preachers preach the word...what I discovered, was in short this:

The past is history, The Future is a mystery and the point of power is now!

Just like my wife kept saying "if we were not here you would have it all back, that we (my family) was holding me back from greatness" you and I both can do the same thing but for positive good.

I began to speak powerful affirmations in the present tense:

I am rich

I am free

I am loved

I am confident

I am good looking (no seriously I am, I got it from my dad...he is a stud :-)

What is meant for my harm will be used for my good.

this too shall pass

etc...

There is a lot more, but my point is this, when I took back my power, the depression left, the feelings of this is the end left, all those stupid charges were dropped, I have not had any contact with my wife, children or her role model (her mother) in 15months, well, I got a facebook friend request out of the blue from the "role model" of course my attorneys said do not accept until we see what the angle is, why did she contact me? Could it be that I was saying, I love to hear the voices of my family? who knows?

I mean I only said that about 10,000 times lol...

To make this come to an end, when ever trials, tribulations or holy crap moments hit you, stay calm and be grateful for it knowing that you are being allowed to go through this because the universe knows you are strong and are ready for the next level, keep your power, and your reward will be greater than anything you could hope, think or ask for.

I am truly grateful all this happened to me, it has shown me who my true friends are, business partners and who has my back regardless of the storm that is raging in my life.

For all you naysayers and people who stopped communicating with me, those who will not return my texts, emails or phone calls...I have only one thing to say to you!!!!

I love you and thank you.

I found out yesterday (Jan.3rd 2012) all of this is being dismissed...the lesson I have learned from this whole ordeal is that no matter what, give love and thanks as it could be gone in an instant and your left scratching your head saying what the hell just happened.

If your down, please know it is temporary, you will bounce back, this test is just uncovering a character flaw that needs repair, if your going through hell, don't stop...keep going, as long as you have air in your lungs, your best days are still in front of you...

If it helps, I love you and I know you will pull through and get double for your trouble my friend.

In love,

John Pate
