Second Effort Concept
Vince Lombardi, former football coach of the Green Bay Packers football team, described the Razor's Edge concept in football very well when he said, "most games are won or lost in the last two minutes of the first and second half." But what Lombardi is best remembered for - with respect to football's Razor's Edge - is the "Second Effort" concept, which he introduced for the edification of his players. In a nutshell, the "Second Effort" concept simply meant, that when a player was initially stopped by the opposing team, he would always surge forward a second time, with the added thrust of a "Second Effort."
Now, just consider the tremendous difference you could create in your own life if you were to adopt a similar mental attitude. For example, if you are a person who is working in sales and currently selling only three units a week, what would the consequences be for you if you were to decide to make one additional sale per week, through a conscientious application of the second effort concept. Well, on a weekly basis, it might not appear to be a major breakthrough. However, viewed over the time frame of an entire career, it would actually amount to well over two thousand extra sales. Moreover, from a monetary standpoint, it would mean you would actually receive an extra ten years' income, over the span of a forty-year career. Yes, that one sale would be the razor's edge difference, which could catapult you into "the big leagues" in your chosen career.

Your Habits Are Your Mental Prisons
Mental Prisons
Some time ago I did a show on Habits. They play an important role in your life. Like many aspects of your life, habits can be considered both a blessing and a curse. Robert Russell in his magnificent little book "You Try It" wrote that habit was God's way of making good automatic in your life.
I had a wonderful friend in Atlanta, the late Dr. Jay Dishman, who wrote an excellent article about habit in his monthly newsletter dated February 1985. I have shared Dr. Dishman's article with thousands of people around the world. Today I want to share it with you. Here goes!
"Recently I visited Alcatraz Prison. Once it housed the most hardened of criminals. Today it is open to tourists under the direction of the United States Parks Department. Many men have tried to escape Alcatraz; no one is known to have succeeded. As I listened to the tour guide explain the impossibility of escape, I thought of other prisons equally confining but where the doors are never locked, no guards walk the halls, and escape is encouraged and possible. That prison is Habit."
Our habit is thinking about ourselves and our environment as a jail or a paradise. We need but to look around us to see people who are rich emotionally and materially because they think and feel rich. We also see people who are laden with emotional and material debt because they think lack. Some are inspired with vision, others are encumbered with doubt. Some are moved by ambition, others feel safer in monotony. Some reach for the mountain tops, others huddle in the pits. Some seek opportunity, others wait for it to knock. The sad fact is that more people are confined by their thoughts than are fed by them.
Negative thinking shuts us in a prison, but there is a way out. The apostle Paul said, "Be transformed by the renewal of your mind." Paul knew a lot about prisons, both physical and mental. You renew your life by renewing your mind. You renew your mind when you change your habit of thinking.
Dr. Jay Dishman helped thousands change their habit of thinking in his lifetime. Now hopefully he has helped you.

There's a problem with The Secret
There's a problem with The Secret.
Maybe you've experienced it.
Now when I use the word "problem," I don't mean that it's a bad thing.
Not by a long shot...
The Secret did it's job. It raised the awareness of millions of people about the control they have over the wealth, abundance and success that flows into their lives.
And it's already transformed the lives of thousands of people across the world who have put the ideas into practice.
But there are millions more lives to be changed... and some of those lives want even more information about how to get started.
Of course, I'm happy for those who have already seen big success. But I'm not talking about those people today.
My focus today is on you. Your Life. Your Success.
And if you've been using the principles from The Secret in your life, but have questions... or you're wondering why it hasn't worked for you yet, then today's message has the potential to transform YOUR life.
Some of the biggest questions I get about The Secret are things like:
..."Now What?"
..."What do I DO NOW?"
..."I'm doing it. Why isn't it working?"
Today, I have an answer for all of those questions.
And you'll find all of the information at the page below...
Now is the time to take action. Go to:

Bob Proctor Quote
"I believe people should study a little bit every day. It should become habitual, like brushing your teeth, combing your hair, having a shower or getting dressed. Study the mind, the laws of the universe and paradigms. There's enough information on those subjects to keep a person studying forever."
