* And so much more ...

My new book tells the entire story, opens a gateway into playing The New Business Game, and gives you everything you need to leap through it and begin your own personal and professional journey of expansion.

What Being Rich, Poor, Wealthy And Prosperous Really Means ...

Paul Getty, leadership and spirituality, small business advice, small business marketing success, small business solutions, small business success, small business successful, spiritual businesses, spiritual entrepreneurship, successful entrepreneurship, time management, wealth and poverty

J. Paul Getty, who, at the time was the world's richest man, wrote this about his friend Hal Seymour:

Hal considered himself to be very wealthy in personal freedom. He was always able to do things he wanted to, and always had time in which to do them. He seldom missed a chance to remind me that, in these regards, I was much poorer than he.

Before his death a few years ago, he frequently wrote me letters which opened with the wryly humorous but meaningful salutation: "To the Richest Man in the world from the Wealthiest. ......"

I'll have to admit that I envied Hal his abundance of time--which is one of the forms of wealth that people tend to disregard these days. Rich as I may be from a material standpoint, I've long felt that I'm very poor, indeed, in time.

For decades, my business affairs have made extremely heavy inroads on my time, leaving me little I could use as I pleased. There are books that I have wanted to read--and books I have wanted to write. I've always yearned to travel to remote parts of the globe which I've never seen.

(J. Paul Getty, How To Be Rich, New York: Jove Books, 1965, preface, p. vii)

Why would the world's richest man (and so many others who play The "Old" Business Game in Phase 1) create "poverty" like that? Because in Phase 1, with the "convince yourself you're the opposite of who you really are" dynamics in place, it has to be that way.

Who you really are has total control over Your time and can do as please in every moment. So, in Phase 1, you must experience the opposite of that most or all of the time. In Phase 1, there are so many things outside your control that create endless items on your to-do list, including so many urgent ones, that living in your natural state simply isn't possible.

In Phase 2, however, after you knock out enough cloud cover, the game is about having more and more of a direct experience of who you really are, including total control over your time and absolute freedom to say, be, and do anything.

In Phase 2, therefore, once you expand enough and knock out enough cloud cover, you begin to experience new "stories" that reduce the number of items on your to-do list, reduce or eliminate the need for you to be involved if those items stay on the to-do list for your business, or whatever else you choose to free up your time and energy to focus only on what you really love.

The Sun And Clouds Metaphor As It Applies
To Business And Marketing Success

Topics: business and spirituality, creativity entrepreneurship, entrepreneur innovation, financial abundance, leadership and spirituality, manifetsing abundance, small business advice, small business coaching, small business marketing success, small business solutions, small business success, spiritual businesses, spiritual entrepreneurship

Following is a video that shares what my Sun and Clouds metaphor. It is a way of looking what limits our success in business in life, why we experience ups and downs with sales, profits, employee morale, the stock market, the economy, on and on.

It also discusses what I call Phase 1 and Phase 2 of This Human Game we're all playing.

The video also lays a great foundation for future blog posts that can support you in busting loose from the "old" Business Game and beginning to play The New Business Game where you're no longer vulnerable to all the forces that appear to be outside of you and beyond your control -- and where you get to play for the sheer pleasure of playing, no limits, no restrictions of any kind.

Power Outside Is The Key ...

No Comments | Leave a Comment

Written by Robert Scheinfeld

Topics: blocks to success, business game, power, true power

As I look back on my experience playing The Business Game in Phase 1 and now in Phase 2, one of the biggest differences, one of the absolute keys to busting loose, is the issue of where the power really is.

In Phase 1, most of the power appears to be outside of you, in clients, customers, competitors, the government, the IRS, employees, the stock market, the economy, attorneys, accountants, partners, board members, etc.

You may be very skilled in many ways, but deep down, in business, you're vulnerable to so many forces that appear to be outside of you and to have lots of power over you.

But that's not The Truth. There is no power outside of you. All the power is inside of you. One of the Phase 2 Truths I'm fond of sharing is "If you're aware of it, you're creating it, down to the smallest detail."

Once you expand enough, and begin having a direct experience of The Truth of who you are and where the power really lies, this whole dynamic reverses itself and you start using your power to create new ways to play The Business Game, with no limits or restrictions, for the sheer pleasure of playing.

Sound hard to believe? Like pie in the sky, woo-woo nonsense? Maybe, depending on your background and training. But it's The Truth nevertheless, and if you commit to playing the Phase 2 game, you'll prove it to yourself - beyond the shadow of a doubt.

The Failure Of New Years Resolutions ...

No Comments | Leave a Comment

Written by Robert Scheinfeld

Topics: goal achievement, goal setting, new years resolution, new years resolutions

Every year, a common custom is to create "New Years Resolutions." The idea is to take a look at the year that just passed and make decisions on what to do differently to make the new year "better."

However, as you know, most if not all New Years Resolutions go nowhere and nothing really changes -- at all or in a lasting way.

There are 3 reasons for this:

1. Where do the resolutions come from? Intellect, logic, wishes, wants, and pie in the sky dreams.

2. There's too much power in the forces in motion wanting to keep things the way they are and resolutions have no real oomph to overcome that inertia.

3. New Years Resolutions will almost always fail to create true and lasting change as long as you're still playing the Phase 1 game. It's only when you begin playing the Phase 2 game, knock out cloud cover, and expand into more and more of a direct experience of who you really are that anything will really change -- in your business and personal life -- in a significant and lasting way. And then, there's no need for resolutions because everything begins to crank in amazing ways on its own, without you needing to focus on it, intend for it, or "resolve" for it.

Cool Time Management Strategy ...

4 Comments | Leave a Comment

Written by Robert Scheinfeld

Topics: efficiency, productivity, time management, to do list, to do lists

OK, this isn't a "radical" strategy, but it's a solid one that has served me well throughout the years as it relates to time management. It seems obvious, but I don't know many people who employ this simple strategy.

Whenever I have a bunch of to do items on my desk, I do an initial sort of them into piles based on:

What tasks must I do all by myself?
What tasks do I play a part in but others must contribute to?
What tasks must others do all by themselves?

Then, here's what I do:

If someone else needs to get it done all by themselves, I hand those items off first
If I need to get part of it done, then hand it off to someone else to finish or contribute, I do my part, then hand those off too
Then I focus 100% on the items I must complete myself in high productivity mode, pausing from time to time to work on something I passed off that comes back to me for further attention.

This way, while I'm working in high productivity mode, the other people are working on their parts or tasks simultaneously which gets everything done more quickly.

Try it, you'll like it!
