Prosperity Attraction – you create your own reality

I recently finished reading Waiting for Autumn, the new novel from Scott Blum, the founder of the popular personal growth website, the Daily Om. The semi-autobiographical book follows the narrator, Scott, through a period of intense personal development and the awakening of powerful insights and awareness.

Anyone who has been through - or is going through - times of great spiritual growth will relate to the questioning, confusion and uncertainty that Scott experiences on his journey of discovery.

In the tradition of other books of awakening - The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, Conversations with God - Scott Blum weaves together a compelling story with deep insights to draw you into the book.

And for those just embarking on a spiritual journey, a time that can lead to a great deal of stress and even fear, you will get to look over the shoulder of another person and watch as he steps onto a spiritual path for the first time.

This is a book that is much needed in these times of confusion and uncertainty. And while each of our journeys will lead us down different paths, this book provides a road map for the journey of awakening. We may not follow the same road or use the same tools, but the feelings and experiences will be very similar for all of us who walk on the path of the spiritual seeker.

I definitely recommend Waiting for Autumn, and if you order it now, you will be entered to win some great prizes in addition to receiving over 175 free gifts.

Go find out more and order Waiting for Autumn here.

I’ll make this one short since this blog is not about Internet Marketing.

If you have a website and want to learn how to optimize your site for the search engines, go get the new program from StomperNet.

It’s got a retail value of $497. It’s worth at least that much. I know because I’ve been going through the 7 video modules for the past week!

But the crazy thing is, it’s FREE!

Go get Stomping the Search Engines here!

And if you want to hear more about the Net Effect Monthly Action Guide that comes with it - also free - go read my review on the Sparkplugging Ask the Coach blog.

Welcome to another installment of the Personal Growth Resource Roundup. As you may already know, in these roundups I bring you personal growth resources from unexpected and sometimes surprising sources. I believe that there are life lessons everywhere. So, while I do include great resources from more “traditional” personal growth sources, the focus is on getting us outside of that box. Here are this week’s resources!

Let’s begin with one last reminder about Earth Hour. It’s tonight! The movement has definitely picked up some steam since the first time I wrote about it and even since last week’s personal growth resource roundup. Apparently it’s grown so much that their site is being very slow! If you haven’t watched the video yet, and their site is slow or not responding, you can watch the Earth Hour Video here. And then tonight, in just over 12 hours, at 8:00pm, turn off your lights for 1-hour, Earth Hour! Let’s see the difference we can make when we all turn our lights off!

What will you do during that hour without lights? I’ll be putting Ella to bed. And once she’s asleep I’ll probably play the piano softly by candlelight. Hmm. Sounds like something I might start doing more often!

Leave a comment and let me know what you’re going to do.

Next up is a reminder that Part 1 of my free report - The Energetics of Attraction: Understanding and Applying the Harmonics of Human Awareness is available.

Part One, which is available now, begins with an exploration of why the Law of Attraction may not be “working” and then moves into the five levels of human perception, awareness and response.

Part Two, which will be available soon, will cover the following topics:

* Recognizing your primary perceptual level.
* The role of the subconscious in the Law of Attraction.
* Understanding the Harmonics of Human Awareness.
* Using the Harmonics of Human Awareness to empower your work with the Law of Attraction.

Just fill in your name and email below and you can download the free report now!

Now let’s move on to Problogger! And just what, you might say, does Darren Rowse and Problogger have to do with personal growth? Well, even as far back as February of 2007 I was wondering if Darren was going Personal Developmenty on us!

Personally, I think that one of the reasons why Problogger is so successful is because Darren has infused it with a positive energy that encompasses much more than blogging. And while he probably would not say this, I feel that the underlying message of Problogger is that if you want to be a better blogger, become a better person. Now, maybe I’m reading too much into what’s happening between the lines… or maybe not.

But either way, this guest post, by Easton Ellsworth, on The Greatest Blogging Skill, most certainly qualifies as a personal growth post, even though it uses blogging as a vehicle to express it.

And while we’re on the subject of blogging, let’s talk about SOBCon-08! Oh how I would love to be there! You can just tell, from the buzz, from the energy, and from the amazing people who go to SOBCon that it’s one of those business events that will inspire you to become a better blogger by becoming a better person. It’s not looking like I’m going to get there this year. But if you have that weekend open, and want to get some great information and connect with some amazing people, I definitely recommend it!

And speaking of the amazing people you’ll get to meet at SOBCon, Wendy Piersall is one of them. Currently, Wendy is moving through quite a process over at Emomsathome. She is rebranding her blog network. And having been privileged to be part of the process, I can assure you there is a LOT of personal growth happening over there. Don’t believe me? Check out this post on the Empty Blog Nest.

Let’s get at least one resource in the mix from a more personal developmenty blog! You think money can’t buy happiness? Check out this post from Rick Cockrum at Shards of Consciousness, How Money Can Buy You Happiness. You might be surprised.

And finally, don’t forget that Oprah and Eckhart Tolle’s Worldwide world-changing Webinar moves into week 5 on Monday evening. This week will focuon on Chapter 5 of Eckhart’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose.

If you haven’t watched last week’s class, you can access the On Demand version Oprah’s New Earth Web Event here and download a video, MP3, watch a streaming version or grab a transcript of the show.

If you haven’t already registered, head over to Oprah’s site now to sign up. It’s free and most definitely personal developmenty!

That’s it for this week’s personal growth resource roundup.

See you next time.

Welcome to the 14th edition of the Personal Growth Resource Roundup.

Let’s begin with another plug for Earth Hour which is less than a week away! If you have not watched the Earth Hour video, go check it out, and then head over to the Earth Hour site and get signed up. Then, on March 29th at 8:00pm, turn your lights off for one-hour. Let’s see how much energy we can save while we’re having fun in the dark!

Next, Alex Blackwell, from The Next 45 Years, has released a new eBook: How to Finish Strong in Life. By compiling some of the his best posts from The Next 45 Years into a beautifully formatted ebook, Alex has created a valuable and very affordable personal growth resource. This ebook sells for just $4.95 and it is most definitely worth it!

If you’ve ever wondered What do I do when someone in my life does not believe in the Law of Attraction and I do? Jenny Manion at Heal Pain Naturally answers this difficult question. If you’re a Deliberate Creator this question has probably come up for you. It’s a big one. So go see what Jenny has to say about it.

Next is an amazing resource for future bestselling authors! I wrote about Mark Joyner’s Bestseller Blueprint product a few weeks ago. The full Blueprint product is now closed to new registrations. However…

Mark has released a series of unedited, uncensored interviews with 9 bestselling authors. If you’re a writer and want some powerful insider information from authors who have already made it to the bestseller list - some of them MANY times! - check out Conversations with Bestsellers.

And how about winding down with some QUIET personal growth time. NOT! Aaron Potts, at Today is That Day, has a post of 5 not-so-QUIET methods of personal growth and development. Go find out how the QUIET method can take you to the next stop on your personal growth journey.

And finally, a head’s up that part 1 of my new report on the Energetics of Attraction will be released on Monday. Part 1 covers the five levels of human perception, awareness and response, and lays the foundation for part 2 which covers the concept of the Harmonics of Human Awareness and how to put it into use to rapidly create the life you desire.

If you want to receive a copy of this free report, just fill out the form below. In addition to the report, you’ll also receive the Energetics of Attraction intro package.

It’s time for another roundup of the best Personal Growth Resources on the web. This one has some interesting and unusual resources for you. So be sure to check them all out.

First, lets take a trip over to visit Oprah. Last week when I went to check out the Law of Attraction Carnival posted at Living The Law of Attraction, I noticed a link to an Oprah Book Club discussion on Eckhart Tolle’s book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose. I thought, “You’ve got to be kidding.”

But no, it’s for real. Beginning on March 3rd, Oprah and Eckhart will be hosting a 10-week webinar exploring the ideas in A New Earth.

Having been a huge fan of Tolle’s since reading his book, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment several years ago, I jumped at the chance to read A New Earth when it first came out in 2006. It’s an amazing, life-changing book. Get it! And then get over to Oprah’s site and register for the Eckhart and Oprah Webinar on A New Earth.

Next up is a new program from my friend, Adam Kayce, of Monk at Work. For the past week I’ve been checking out his new Inner Peace Audio program. I’ll have a full review in a week or so, but if what I’ve heard so far is any indication, this program is definitely worth checking out. I’ve already gotten great insights through using the Inner Decision Making process. Go check out the Inner Peace Audio program and watch for a full review soon.

This next resource struck a chord with me the moment I (literally) stumbled-upon it. I admit it: I’ve been a procrastinator for much of my life. It’s a pattern that has held me back for much of my life. And I am actively looking at the opportunities for growth that this pattern holds for me. But this article on Structured Procrastination by John Perry provides such a unique way of looking at this habit, and provided such a powerful way to leverage procrastination to actually get more done, I just had to share it with you. I’ve started looking at how I can use Structured Procrastination to accomplish more. And if you have a tendency toward procrastination, I highly recommend you check it out.

And if you haven’t read Mark Joyner’s new report, Rise of The Author, I HIGHLY recommend you go download it now. Even if you have no interest in becoming a published author, there is some truly paradigm busting information in that report! Go check it out.

And finally, let’s end with a powerful, positive message from Alex Blackwell at The Next 45 Years. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your forward momentum going, his post, Nine Ways to Keep Moving Forward, will give you some great ideas.

Well that’s it for this roundup. I hope you enjoy these resources and I’ll see you next time.
