Let's Play the Abundance Game -Together!

Continuing with this week's theme of creating AND living a great life…an abundant mindset is very essential to achieving this.

Fred Casteneda of the Struggling Entrepreneur podcast series interviewed me today..the third one in a series of my "business launch" process…the "opening the kimono" or the story behind the story..the good,the bad and the outright ugly lessons learned along the way..and there are many!

Today it was about the Fun Factor and how important it is to have the fun factor in our lives..once that goes it is very hard to attract the abundance we are seeking..those of us with hearts of champions and bruised knees from the many stumbles along the way need this more than ever-don't you agree? Anyway I promise to let you all know when the podcast is on itunes..that's right..I'm on itunes. Crazy thought isn't it?

Come share this experience with me….This Virtual Abundance Expo promises to be a fabulously meaningful and provocative series…you can't beat the $1.00 price!

All of this yet I am going to pay the $97.00 for the replay recordings..I don't want to miss one session..not one idea…not one pearl of wisdom from these giants of personal development.  I suggest you do the same.

Abundance is a concept often debated in spiritual and
entrepreneurial circles.

Entrepreneurs commonly use the catch-phrase "thinking
BIG," but they really mean the same thing.

Abundance is tough to define because it's one of those
unique ideas that must be experienced to really be
understood … it can't just be explained.

Yet the most encouraging part of adopting an abundance
mindset is how it can connect you to people with totally
different set of beliefs and values.

It instantly sustains inclusivity even with people who
are dramatically different.

POP QUIZ: What do Mother Theresa and Donald Trump
have most in common?

The answer is their abundance mind-set.

Donald Trump says, "If you're going to think anyway,
you might as well think big."

Mother Theresa said: "The more we discover the
magnitude and abundance of God's gifts, the more we
will find ourselves."

Again, the abundance mindset creates connections.

Bucky Fuller had this to say about the abundance mindset:

"The condition of planet earth is abundance. Our belief in
either scarcity or abundance determines how our financial,
legal, political and military systems are set up or exist at all.

Scarcity and abundance are foundational and contextual ideas.
They each give rise to a distinct system of thought and a number
of rules, characteristics and measures which only make sense
within their own system."

Above all, the abundance-mindset is a choice. In other
words, you choose to look through the lens of scarcity, or
through the lens of abundance. There is no in-between.

"Do … or do not. There is no try." ~ Yoda

Because there are are so many differing opinions about
abundance, my colleagues and I have decided to conduct
this worldwide survey get more opinions – your opinion – on
this highly debated topic.

My JV partners, Alex Mandossian and Scott Martineau are
hosting the Virtual Abundance Expo next week, so I figured
this a great opportunity to host a survey and attract the
best single sentence that clearly defines abundance.

What to do now: Please use the comment box at the bottom of this page to write your
definition of abundance.

The survey ends at 5pm PDT on
Monday, July 27th, right before Jack Canfield's keynote
speech for the Virtual Abundance Expo.

All the definitions will be gathered and tallied the next day
and five finalists will be chosen for the final vote.

If you are one of the five finalists, your definition of abundance
will be personally evaluated by our Virtual Abundance Expo faculty.

The top vote-getter with the clearest and most concise definition
of abundance will be personally interviewed by Scott and Alex as
a honorary faculty member for Virtual Abundance Expo.

So what do you say … are you game?

If you are game, then take a peek at these 9 abundance quotes
to get your heart and mind moving…
