Let Me Show You How I Went From Working 60 Hours Each Week to Just 5 Hours And Doubled My Income Year Over Year.

But before we get right into it, let me preface our time together by saying, Some of what you read may challenge you in one way or another. For me, that's a good thing, because if something that you read stirs accord in your heart, that something is alerting your attention for a good reason.

Your first challenge may well be just getting to the other end of this long article. But, if you do read every line, I guarantee something inside you will inspire you to do something different. And that small change could be the one that does it all!

What do you really want? Freedom, independence, extra income, more time for you and the ones you love, a home with no mortgage, work from home in your own business? It's yours! It's actually knocking on your door right now. But maybe you're so busy being busy that you cannot hear it. I know this because I was right there! "Was" - past tense.

Can this be the penultimate life changing experience for you... the one that really gets you excited, stimulated, motivated, standing on the chair punching the air ... determined to take the first step to where ever it is you want to go?

I don't know what's going on for you right now, so honestly, I can't answer that. Only you can! I do know that every book you read, every CD you listen to, every DVD you watch will release at least one gem of information or inspiration that's meant just for you.

If you choose to open up to that context, I request that you complete a few exercises as you go through.

First exercise, you will need a sheet of note paper. So go get that now.

What sort of notepaper did you get? Is it small or large and what colour is it? Is it scrap paper torn from somewhere? Does it have columns, squares, lines, dots, borders or such printed on it? Or is it a standard piece of blank paper?

Whatever you chose, will actually give you an insight into who you are and where you are in your life right now.

Stop reading now and think about that for a minute or two. Write down how you feel about that on that sheet of note paper. Once you have completed this first exercise, put the notepaper in another room or in a drawer away from where you are sitting. Come back with a blank sheet of A4 paper.

Because you chose to continue, I now know that you are truly serious about making the transformation that you are looking for in your life. Thank you.

Indulge me a little and let's look at what you have done so far. Picked up a piece of paper and written a few pertinent observations on it. Then you put it away and picked up a sheet of blank paper as requested. So what?

If you are like most people, you chose notepaper with blue lines on a white page!

I challenge you with this question: why?

What do those lines represent?

You see, I want you to make this a new discovery, a new you. To re-invent you and I request that you do this with a blank mind - just like that piece of blank paper. Did you choose that first sheet of paper from habit, convenience, or because it has lines to guide you - convention!

Give a child a blank piece of paper and ask them to draw "animals at the zoo" for example. That child will happily draw their personal interpretation of "animals at the zoo". You might not get it straight up, but they do and that's what matters most, right?

Give a child a colouring book with a page of "animals at the zoo" and they will happily colour away, keeping between the outlines and filling in the scene as directed by someone other than them.

Which is the better way to grow and learn? Opening your own imagination and unleash the freedom of expression that goes with it or .. fitting in the guidelines given by someone other than you?

To re-invent you needs an openness and creativity. And you get to be selfish about it, because you're the only one involved in the process.

Who said that you had to right in a straight line from left to right, top to bottom. Why can't you right on an angle? What's to stop you from turning the page 90 degrees to landscape format? What's to stop you marking the page anyway you want? Whose notes are these anyway? Yours! Who is this information for exactly? You!

How does that reflect on the way you live your life right now?

So why not invent you - your own way ... create your own path ... choose your own destiny? It's really not that scary at all!

Agreed, it is valid that our society has to have rules and regulations to survive and produce harmony. But, have those rules and regulations been the same for the last 2,000 years?

Of course not. So what happened? Our history books record the actions of hundreds of people who understood what "Blue lines on a white page" signifies.

Driven by a passion to contribute to a better society, (in ways big and small) they transformed the world - not just for their time, but for all time!

Today, you are offered the same choice. You can impact the world in your own family, your own district, or the whole planet. The degree of impact is not so relevant right here, right now.

The transformation is! Your impact is the footprint that you leave behind long after you're gone. Your destiny as an individual is to make that impact.

Can you do this by conforming to someone else's opinions, beliefs, desires, lack of vision, complacency, lack of drive and lack of motivation? I suggest not .

Chances are that most of what has happened in your life so far is the same as "Blue lines on a white page." You just received as "adequate" the guides for your mind, your way of thinking, your attitudes, your acceptance and so ön.

It's all programming. Just like a computer, your mind has been trained over time to react in a predictable manner under all kinds of conditions and stimuli. Who programmed the 'computer'?

Are you consciously or unconsciously allowing these limitations to go unquestioned? It's a closed mind-set. And to date, it's probably set the context for your life - the way in which you live your life! Blue lines on a white page.

Only one question now. Are you ready to Wake up and Get Rich?

The dictionary describes "wake up" with several meanings:

• rouse from sleep; cause to stop sleeping • rouse a feeling: different images can awaken new emotions within us. •make someone aware of something for the first time : •an act or moment of becoming suddenly aware of something : the war came as a rude awakening to the hardships of life. •formal an act of waking from sleep. • the beginning or rousing of something •coming into existence or awareness

The dictionary defines "rich" as an adjective with many meanings -

Some are: •possessing great material wealth •having great worth or value •magnificent •having an abundant supply: •rich in ideas. •meaningful and significant •containing a large amount of choice ingredients: •rich as in unusually heavy or sweet •having or exuding a strong or pungent aroma •containing a large proportion of fuel to air: a rich gas mixture •highly amusing.

So which definition of rich is beating your heart right now? It all depends upon context. The context in which you have lived your life so far.

What may be more relevant is the context in which you intend to live your life from hereon in. The footprint you will leave behind.

I once worked in a major ad agency. I learned a lot at that agency for which I am truly grateful. Those things have carved the path to where I am now. I particularly recall one day when the whole Australian team spent in a briefing session conducted by the International head of the agency. It was a day filled with recognition and reward amongst other things; including the company's vision for moving forward. One thing out of all of that has stuck in my head every day since. It was this quote, "The best way to predict the future is to create it."

I had to stop and reflect on my entire being at that moment. It really struck accord for me and for many years it was my mantra. That one phrase challenged me to the core and transformed my thinking from. That one gem changed my footprint.

The best way to predict the future is to create it! Are you ready to create your future - right here - right now? Of course you are.

So the first thing you must do is to visualise exactly what it looks like.

Visualisation is easy. It's the same as dreaming with your eyes open. And with that comes your next exercise.

If you are good at sketching, do that. Sketch everything you desire. If you prefer you can use words instead of sketching. Word pictures are just as powerful. Creativity doesn't have limitations, no boundaries and no master.

With your blank paper begin. There's no place for "Blue lines on white paper" here. And whether you use pictures or words, attention to detail is very important.

For example if you desire a new home, car, yacht - whatever. Design it in detail. You must include locations, colours, design, textures and so on. The most minute detail is important to the result of this exercise. And don"t forget to include you IN the picture.

If it's a new career you desire, what position will you start with and where to from there 5, 10, 15 years forward. You must see your office, your achievements and the remuneration package. Every detail is important - including placing YOU in the picture.

Perhaps your desires relate to relationships; a spouse, a family, business or life partners, whatever. You might want to cut out pictures from magazines that look like your desired partner. If you want to have children, how many, what sex, what are their names and so on. Again, every creative detail is important - including placing YOU in the picture.

There's no limit to the number of desires (which equals) visualisations you put on paper.

You can choose to pause here or do the exercise after you have finished the recording. In either case, take as much time as you need to complete the task.

The best way to predict the future is to create it. So get creative!

Pause now. How was that exercise for you? Did it really put a laser-like focus on your dreams and desires?

So let's continue to Wake Up and Get Rich.

Where does every fortune come from? The answer is an idea or a passionate desire. Where do ideas come from? The answer is imaginations. And every one of us has an imagination. So every one of us - yes - even you - can create a fortune. Everything you need to make it real is already inside you. You have the skill and the ability already, it's built in.

What you are looking for is a plan. See, now that have completed the visualisation exercise, you have uncovered your real desires. Once you have completed the visualisation exercise, you most definitely have given tactile form to the intangible desires. Desire is the first step to achieving the results you want for your life. In other words, you have created step one in your plan for its realisation.

Now here's the formula for steps 2 onward.

Basically, imagination leads to ideas. Ideas plus specialised knowledge equals rich success. (I'll expand on that shortly).

It really is that simple. You have the ideas and you want the rich success. Now all you need to do is put specialised knowledge into action and you are guaranteed to succeed.

Every one of us has the inherent ability to earn more. "Earn" can be many things. Refer to the earlier definition of rich if you like.

To earn more, you just have to follow a proven path.

I said before that you have everything you need to build a fortune already inside you. The skills and the knowledge are in your possession right now!

The biggest skill you have is knowing how to access the knowledge. One of the richest men on the planet spends 26 hours a week reading books. He's a billionaire twice over and he dedicates equivalent hours to one day a week to access knowledge. He himself is an author of many books. He is Donald Trump.

What's knowledge anyway?

How about this: facts, information and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject.

So with reference to your plan, it's you cashing in on one person's or a number of people's hard won experience on the subject you're investigating.

You get what you need in an instant.

In the majority of cases it's taken them years of trial and tribulation and/or of pain and suffering to acquire that knowledge.

In other words, you cash in for free! Specialised information that will take you to the next step. It's gifted cash in the bank, a gift that keeps on giving!

But this gift has terms and conditions attached. That is; the gift will remain dormant until you give it life. How's that done? Just open your mind and put the knowledge into ACTION.

Knowledge without action is a book. Knowledge with action is power!

That power will take you wherever you want to go in this universe, every minute of every day for the rest of your life.

Huge! Take a breath and let's summarise that last section.

Each of us has the inherent ability to earn more: it starts with your creative talent (desires=visualisations) you use a proven system (follow a proven path and access knowledge) knowledge with action is power apply organised planning

Desire (imagination) leads to ideas. Ideas planned with the correct application of specialised knowledge in action equals rich success... guaranteed.

Believe it! It is a guaranteed formula.

Right now you're probably thinking, "Yeah right Ken, nobody can guarantee anything." And with that is the fundamental flaw in the system you have used to get you to this point in your life. And, by the way, it's done well to get you here, so applaud it.

What it's telling you today is; that it is now time for a new strategy, so pay attention to what I am saying.

I ask you to answer a couple of questions with sincere honesty. You don' need to write the answers down or even discuss them with anyone but yourself.

First question: "Are you failure minded or success minded?"

The answer is most likely observed in the way in which you participate in life. If you take no risks, you are more likely pre-conditioned to be failure minded. The converse is generally the case for success minded people.

Second question: Is the fear of criticism bigger than your desire for success? The answer to that question is most likely observed by the people you hang out with. The one's whose opinions you "say" don't necessarily matter to you - but most likely that's not the case. If you don't have the bank account of your dreams, look at who you are spending most of your time with. Blue lines on a white page! I have many people I dearly love in that situation and I have made it my life's purpose to make them rich too. I could not do that if I personally hadn't made the transformation from a "failure mind" to a " success mind."

It's a fact - do the maths: Rich people hang out with rich people most of the time. Like attracts like. Iron sharpens iron.

I have driven out of my life the fear of criticism. My desire for success is insurmountably bigger. It began when I read the book co-authored by Robert Kyosaki and Donald Trump entitled, "Why We Want You To Be Rich." The title had me contemplating, "Why would these self-made multi-millionaires take time out of their life, so mine would be much, much richer?" Without consciously knowing it, I was already accessing knowledge and putting it into action.

If you want the answer to the previous question, I recommend you buy a copy or borrow it from your local library.

In the book, they make some very pertinent points that have since reshaped my thinking. For the first time I really understood my personal programming.

For one, our education system is designed primarily for one clear outcome. So everyone has the choice to earn an income, equivalent to providing the essentials for life. That is clearly an honourary outcome. It does means however, that the majority of people work for a living and in today's world, it's a week to week - just getting by with wages in exchange for labour. Most people wouldn't survive for four weeks if their income suddenly stopped. Do you want to stop and think about that for a minute?

I did and concluded that it truly is a debilitating thought. A prime example of failure consciousness versus success consciousness. I was programmed for working for an existence.

Blue lines on a white page.

Bread crumbs when a feast was available to me and to everyone else on the planet. But here's what I observed:

The business world is structured to keep those with a poverty mindset in employment to serve the corporate economy. Again, I see much honour in that because it surely fills a significant purpose. Yet, I get a little edgy when I see corporate capitalism greedily praying on the poverty mindset.

It is an abundant world, no question. Greed is the devil's workshop.

Freedom from greed is so easy. Feed others to feed yourself - abundantly. A message I later realised was hidden between the lines of Kyosaki and Trump's book. Part way to answering the question posed in the book title.

One of the highest honours available to us today has been around since day one and will remain the highest honour until the last day. That is: to be of service to others. The greatest men and women in history have all been servants of the collected people. So what made them who they were? They were all rich in one or multiple ways. Their fear of criticism was non-existent because their desire for success or a successful outcome infinitely more powerful. They were leaders. All successful people are leaders.

Just like you, they came to a point in their lives where they chose to transform themselves. They chose to bring their desires into reality as opposed to remaining in mediocrity. Success consciousness won over failure conscious.

There are only two categories of people in the world.

Leaders and followers.

Which one do you choose to be?

Yes, choose to be, because leaders are not born - they are created. Everyone, every one of us has the choice to be a leader. We already have the skills and ability programmed inside us. Let's go back to the corporate world to illustrate this better.

In any corporation there are (broad) ranks, namely; CEO, CFO, Senior Management, Middle Management, Supervisors, Teams. Did the CEO leave school and become the head of that corporation the next day? Of course not. Did the Senior Management personnel leave school and start in their position the next day? Of course not. Did the Middle Management personnel leave school and start in their position the next day? Of course not. You can fill in the dots from here.

The pertinent question is, if they all started in a team at the bottom of the corporate pyramid, how did the CEO, Senior Management and so on, move toward the top while everyone else stayed below them?

Answer: Blue lines on a blank page.

Desire (imagination) leads to ideas. Ideas planned with the correct application of specialised knowledge in action equals rich success... guaranteed.

They learned how to be intelligent followers first and with the application of a success consciousness and a focussed plan they burst out of mediocrity to become top income earners. Leaders in their field with a remuneration package to fit their talent. Do you think that if the CEO of any major corporation would suffer if he or she suddenly stopped working for that company. Absolutely not! They have already set themselves up for life. In support of their honour, they lead corporations to success so that the millions of people at the lower layers of the corporate pyramid can access gainful employment. That's the system we have been educated to understand and conform into. Personally, I'm very grateful that it was there for me when I needed it.

Okay, you don't need to be a mathematician to understand that the corporate pyramid can only hold the place for one CEO, a couple of Senior Managers, a few more Middle Managers and so on. The majority of people have to be workers on the lowest wages for the system to work. A point also well illustrated in the Kyosaki/Trump book.

So how do you, "Wake up and Get Rich?"

Firstly, use the system to your advantage. Don't give up your day job. There's dozens of easy, tried and true ways to make money in this world and that's the subject of my next article. All are proven systems that work and you can adopt any number of them to fulfill your dreams. However, not one of them will work for you until you transform yourself.

Right now I am challenging you to reassess your current way of thinking. Create a new paradigm that fits your plan perfectly. I recommend a paradigm where your reality becomes making the impossible happen.

It's probably fair to say that everything that has happened in your life until now is "Blue lines on a white page." There is nothing but honour in that.

But the message it's shouting at you is, "NOW IS ... your time for transformation." It's the next step in your master plan.

I keep using the word transformation and you might ask me just what is transformation? Well it's not just "change". Change is much simpler and smaller than that. Change is a physical action or reaction. Change is like adding juice concentrate to water. Same stuff, just weaker. Change is a few coins in your purse or pocket. Quite frankly, it doesn't have the power you need to succeed.

Transformation is a deliberate and pre-determined purpose to alter the way you are being i.e. affecting your world and the footprint you will leave behind. Transformation is creating something that is not currently possible in your current reality.

A simple illustration of the difference between change and transformation. Take a volume of cold water add a colour dye to it and you have change. Does that "changed" water have any power? No. But take the same volume of water and heat it until it transforms into steam. Harnessed steam energy drives machines, that's raw power! It's impossible to drive a steam engine on cold water.

The next step is to set up the context in which you will live in the new paradigm you created. Making the impossible happen starts and ends with the way you talk, the way you think, the way you act and importantly, the way you are being.

Here is your next exercise and this one never ends.

Vow from this day forward, you will not utter a single word of negativity. That includes phrases like (for example), "I am still in debt." That's a negative. Choose instead to say, "I am accessing all the money I need to satisfy my obligations and desires."

It'll take practice and a determination but it must be done. Vow from this day forward, you will not think a single negative thought. Included in the ban is judgment against another person or circumstance. We all so easily fall into that one and it is one of the most debilitating forces in our lives.

Vow from this day forward that you will act in accord with all that you will become. You already are the successful, happy, compassionate person you visualised in the earlier exercise. Stop yourself in every situation and take a look at "how that makes you feel." If you felt negative, that's because of your action or reaction. Take full responsibility for the flaw in your plan, then move on. You are allowed to make mistakes as long as correcting your course is your natural reaction.

Making the impossible happen is your weapon in the war against mediocrity and complacency.

You are where you are right now because you are doing too much of "Blue lines on a white page."

If you are doing it, you are not being anything but conformist.

It's time to break out of the norm and stand on your own two feet. Have the resilience and conviction to take create that plan and then make a guarantee to yourself. That no matter what, you will transform every one of your desires into reality even if it means taking risks. Nothing will get in your way. In actual fact, it will all come to you because you have planned it that way.

You will have transformed your life. Remember, The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Invent equals create. You are very creative.

So I trust that by now, I have given you a few gems to work with. In the very least I have challenged you in one way or another. That being true will have achieved my goal. But it's not about me, it's about you. Only by being the master of your future can you actually make it real for life. You have singular control of your future and therefore your destiny. You also have the power to affect the destiny of others. It's referred to as 'an impact on someone else's life.'

A last request before I go, I would like you to ponder this question.

Ever wondered what they will say in your eulogy?

Here's a clue: it'll be exactly the same as the footprint you leave behind.
