"Two Key Ingredients to Living A Successful Life"
A Conversation With John Harricharan
The following is a excerpt from the exclusive AudioMotivation interview with lecturer, author, businessman, and motivational icon John Harricharan. It contains so many gems relevant for living your dream that I wanted to share it with you.
AUDIOMOTIVATION
What other tools and resources would you say are essential to achieve personal success and I'd love to pass that along to the AudioMotivation members today.
JOHN HARRICHARAN
You know, I always thought there were two important things in the recipe of success. Two of the most important ingredients in success are, number one a sense of purpose and number two a touch of madness. You've got to be crazy. And I mean that in a really lighthearted way.
Let's touch on a sense of purpose. It's actually where do you want to go, what do you want to do, what is it you want to do with your life and what is it you want to do for humanity or your family or your friends or just for yourself? Which means you have to believe in who you are.
You have to have a feeling of self-worth, a feeling of self, not self-importance, but of a positive self-image that you are worthy of being here on this Earth.
Until you can come to terms with that, you can't go on to the other thing or the other one won't do it alone. It's like baking a cake with half the stuff you need for it. It won't be a really good cake so the other recipe is you've got to be crazy enough, you've got to be mad enough to say to yourself, you know the universe may not owe me a living but I owe the universe a life and because of that I will follow my dream, I will follow this inner feeling, this
intuitive guidance, this whatever it is that calls to me from deep within me. I'll follow that and I'll do the necessary things, I'll take action and I'll get to where I want to go. That's the nutshell version of it, two of the most important things.
AUDIOMOTIVATION
Now people really need to do this every day to kind of affirm that within themselves and free themselves of any guilt that may be holding them back, right?
JOHN HARRICHARAN
Yeah, well you know, one of the greatest detriments to
becoming wealthy is actually guilt. A friend of mine, a late friend of mine, Foster Hibbard, many people have heard of him. He was a friend and student of Dr. Napoleon Hill of Think and Grow Rich and Foster and I were friends for many, many years until he died a few years ago and once I asked him about money.
I said "Foster, what is it you think that prevents people from becoming wealthy?", and he looks at me and says "you know, John, it's guilt, guilt, guilt". Because the only message guilt brings is that you don't deserve it. It says to you, you don't deserve, you don't deserve, you don't deserve. And if there is a feeling within you that you do not deserve, if you do not deserve to be wealthy, you won't be because you will stop yourself.
It's like watering your garden and standing on the hose because nothing will come through. So what we have to do is erase guilt. Guilt is actually paying the price for something you've paid for before, you're just doing it over and over again. So one of the very important things is get rid of guilt, it's a poison.

U.S. Job Satisfaction Keeps Falling, The Conference Board Reports
Many are Simply 'Showing up for a Paycheck'
March 8, 2005
I thought you might be interested to see a excerpts from a survey which shows similar results to the survey I did a couple of months ago.
Americans are growing increasingly unhappy with their jobs, The Conference Board reports. The decline in job satisfaction is widespread among workers of all ages and across all income brackets.
Half of all Americans today say they are satisfied with their jobs, down from nearly 60 percent in 1995. But among the 50 percent who say they are content, only 14 percent say they are "very satisfied."
F*R*E*E Law of Attraction Teleclass
We had over 30 people in the teleclass last week on How To Create and Maintain a Six-Figure Practice Using the Law of Attraction Plus Inspired Action. If you missed this class, you can hear it online here.
Here is what one person had to say:
"The teleclass was great! I learned a few things and was reminded of a few things I’d forgotten to practice. You helped me to see the pieces I’d been missing.
If you do this teleclass again, I’ll recommend it to several people.

New Group Forming NOW: Live Out Your Dreams Teleseminar/Coaching Group
Imagine in a few short weeks, you could be on the way to making your greatest dream come true... here's how.....
Live Out Your Dreams is a group coaching program that was designed specifically to support and help you get the results you've only dreamed of by implementing the strategies used by extremely successful people outlined in "I Can't Believe I Get Paid To Do This!"
I know for a fact what a difference implementing just a few of these strategies can make both from my own personal experience and from the work I've done with my clients. I also know that it can be challenging to do that on your own. Well, now there is help!
Working with a group is great because statistics show that people who have support, including attending group meetings, always do better than those who don't - 100% of the time.
This group is great for professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, those who want to start their own business and anyone who has a dream and wants support in making it happen. And the good news is you can do it over the phone from the convenience of your own home or office.
