Free Teleclasses

Tray Gamble — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 00:07:02 +0000

Promoted on their http://mlmteleclass.com site as "Training Without Traveling" this teleclass site is new to me. My first visit via email invitation looks promising. I saw links to sign up for classes on "Financial stress reduction" with Chellie Campbell, "How to build powerful relationships and connect with anyone" from Larry Benet, "Building your life and business on purpose" with Dr. Brad Swift and much more.

Lately I've been really bad with scheduling things and keeping online appointments for things such as teleclasses, webinars and teleseminars. My kids have football (thank you so much universe that my son can now stop driving me crazy asking how much longer, how much longer...) cheerleading, and therapy schedules so I'm all over the place... happily waiting on the two to three hours of blessed bliss as my children belong attitudes and mind entirely to their coaches.

To see all these free goodies at the site for yourself click the link. Free Teleclasses Hey, this was my first time using the Flock blog editor. Loveee it!

“Outside The Circle… Of My Comfort Zone”

"Outside The Circle...Of My Comfort Zone"

Stepping outside my zones of comfort has been difficult the last few months. I know this is largely because I can't sleep. So, why can't I sleep? I'm exhausted as everything, but seem to be driven like a mad woman to get something accomplished towards my personal and business goals each day in spite of life's chaos. At this point, I've admitted it would take ten clones of myself and at least fifteen years to see the end of the deadlines I've been trying to catch up to.
So, here's what I am going to do. Today I have decided to stop "efforting" or trying to make heaven and earth move by sheer force of my will. My daughter Sadie was reading several life cards out loud from new decks I bought this year. They were, "Goddess Guidance Oracle Cards, Magical Unicorns Oracle Cards and Mermaids and Dolphins" by Doreen Virtue, "The Perfect Calm Deck, 50 Exercises To Soothe Mind And Body" by Duncan Baird Publishers, Ltd, "Ask Me" and Contemplation Oracle Cards, A Deck of 54 Cards" by Susan Woldman.

My eyes opened wider as she continued. The cards she was reading directly related to things that were happening in her life and many of the personal challenges she was having. I was blown away at their accuracy. Several times I raised my eyebrows at her to hear, "Mommmm!" She knew they were hitting the nail on the head too. The messages were making her angry because she knew they were areas she struggled with daily.
That experience helped me see my own lack of balance. Spinning here and there has taken a huge toll. Partially, that's why I stepped away from this blog for a few days, to get perspective. The vastness that is the internet is totally overwhelming when you feel you're in a losing game of "catch-up." Rather than speed up more if that's even possible, the need was to step away.
I'm looking forward to growing this site with the help and feedback of every single reader who is willing to share. Let me know what challenges you're facing in your own lives, I'll always be here to offer encouragement and support. As Bryce, one of my new online friends says, sometimes you just need to know someone else cares.
I'm not sure where this new journey of discovery will take us, or how long it will take. I'm totally following the Universe on this one. You can be sure of this however, it's going to be wicked fun so stay tuned...

Cool Social Networking Search Engine

Tray Gamble — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 00:04:46 +0000

Thanks to Greg, I've just learned of another interesting tool that I really like. It's called Searchme, and is a visual search engine.

When I tried it, I was amazed at all the useful sites it returned for me to take a look at. Remember, this is the Beta so there may still be a few bugs with it, but overall, I'm enjoying it a lot.

A smooth scroll bar lets you navigate between sites and the first pages give a pretty decent representation of the page content.

These are some of the images my first search revealed when I searched for "Success Chronicle." There were many other pages that the Searchme search engine thought might have related to success displayed, but I stopped counting at site number 91...

"The Brave May Not Live Long, But The Cautious Do Not Live At All." The Princess Diaries

photo credit:TheAlieness GiselaGiardino²³ Today was "one of those days" where I was feeling out of sorts, missing my online friends and colleagues I've had to be away from far too long, because of health challenges in my children. That's one reason I asked in a previous post, who has a harder time as an Entrepreneur. Many of us started this new internet marketing venture together, helping and supporting each other emotionally as we followed our hearts, nurtured our dreams and renewed our spirits. Celebrating everyone's individual growth is natural for me. Seeing others progress confirms for me that we have all found most, if not all of the pieces to the internet marketing puzzles, blogging and successful relationship developments. These friends and colleagues online are, and have always been my inspiration, even though they probably didn't know that until...well, until now. Other inspirations come from the visitors, commenters and readers of my blog, my small but growing following on Twitter, those hearty few who have been requesting to follow my RSS feed, Facebook Friends including the many successful marketers, who were generous enough to add me as their friend, and keep me there, even when my posts are so sporadic, my new social bookmarking friends and all those people who can't (or won't) see the big picture possibilities of internet financial freedom. Most of my life I've been a positive person, a nurturer of sorts to the world, an affirmation lover and very prosperity conscious. Growing an online income that would last over the long haul, creating financial freedom and abundance for my family was, and still is a heady goal. I know that others are hurting and feeling unsupported in their dreams and goals too. That's why I want to make something good come from all the challenges and pain my husband, our children, and I have overcome these past years. If I can' be an inspiration to others to continue in the face of tremendous odds then it can't be done. LOL Mental health care is not cheap, so it's hugely scary paying for it out of our retirement funds now. I keep thinking of an old movie called the "Money Pit" with Shelly Long. It's like one huge whirlpool sucking up everything that comes in. Feeling sorry for myself makes me feel bad, more like weak and overwhelmed. I don't like that, so I keep protecting my head and charging forward. That's the only direction I know how to go in. The Michael Losier training my friend Suzie just completed, was on my future schedule too, but I found I would have to do it next year after things settle down financially. I read recently the next year's session will be in Malaysia, so that kind of took the wind out of my sails again. I've only started flying and the long hours in flight concern me. I'll check to see if maybe they're doing one closer in the states any time soon and worry about funding it when the dates get closer. Tonight I was excited because I found a Law of Attraction Training Center that is more affordable for me and more in line with family time constraints, because I can take modules one at a time as I can generate and attract funding for them. For example, one of the courses is Teaching Law of Attraction Using Accelerated Learning Techniques for Faster Student Integration! [Six hours] Instructor: Michael Losier Fee: $259.

After looking at the coach listings and more on the site, this does not seem to offer the same support system that the Facilitator site does, so it looks like back to the drawing board. Heavy sighing...

This part actually started out as the beginning of my post, so I don't know where all the other venting came from. Someone else out there must have needed to hear that you are bigger than your challenges in life. Since I was feeling drained, I decided to catch up on my bloglines feeds. I came across this one at Becoming Your Stellar Self URL: A Mighty Wind When things are so challenging that you don't know if you'll have the strength to look tomorrow in the face, it's easy to be forgetful about gratitude. There was a tremendous lesson in this post for me. I hope you will enjoy it also.

Which Path Is Choosing Me?

Tray Gamble — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 08:26:34 +0000

Which Path Is Choosing Me?

Today I feel pulled in too many directions. A few days ago after a discussion with another business owner, I was looking at where I was in my life, what I was willing to commit for the lifestyle I want to attract, and wondering if I would recognize "the one" opportunity or direction when it appeared.

Several times I could see the brass ring but it always slips out of sight just before I can grab it firmly. Listening to Michael Losier after Suzie Cheel, my online friend and colleague, attracted her Facilitator dreams, he was saying that whatever situation or results we're getting in our lives, somehow the energy we're putting out or surrounding ourselves with is attracting negative or positive stuff in.

Thinking back to the time we adopted, my husband and I focused so much on what we didn't want, I mean our thoughts were seriously directed to certain health or behavioral characteristics. There were already special circumstances which were overwhelming. So intent were our prayers and thoughts, we got exactly what we didn't want in our children. They are beautiful but all struggle with some health aspect ranging from barely there, all the way up to "Oh, My God! How Will We Ever Get Through This?!"

I love blogging here and sharing my thoughts with everyone, but my original goal for this site was to be more resourceful than I've been able to develop so far. One of the things to come out of that earlier conversation I mentioned, was the realization that somewhere along the line, I became so intent on being a good blogger, affiliate marketer and social networker as I was being instructed, that I forgot to be a business person, and most importantly, I forgot to just be myself. No excuses, just awarenesses.

Comments are always welcome, so thanks in advance.

Lessons On Living… From Randy Pausch

Lessons On Living... From Randy Pausch

Image via Wikipedia

"Brick walls make us prove how badly we want things. They stop those who don't want it badly enough." ~Randy Pausch

Every time I see or hear Randy Pausch, I am filled with mixed emotions. He is such a phenomenal person! And although I marvel at his humanity and the legacy he is living, I am so deeply upset that his space on the planet will one day be physically empty.
Recently I was over at Joel Christopher's Master List Building site and he had this video there. How can a person with so little time live larger, better and share more about living life fully than most of us?
During the lecture, Randy shows a photo of himself as the "child dreamer," and you can still sense this in him as an adult. His incredible strength as he faces the future with the same boyish wonder, has not only made him a hero to me, but to millions of others around the world as well.
At one point, Randy mentions a professor who had "Dutch Uncled" him. It feels like he has found a way to return the favor by presenting this life altering message to a starving world.
Randy Pausch inspires me to be a better person. Using my life and talents to make a difference in the world on a massive scale is one of my dreams. I hope you too, will be uplifted to make a difference in someone's life today.

Listening To Your Inner Voice

Tray Gamble — Thu, 22 May 2008 02:16:50 +0000

Listening To Your Inner Voice What would life be like if you were a tender aged 19, and just won the $35 million Powerball lottery? One young man who listened to the "voice" in his head, is finding that out. I just thought I would share his story with you as an encouragement to the power of our thoughts, when mixed with action. AOL News reported today that Jonathan Vargas of South Carolina purchased his first lottery ticket ever, selecting numbers based on family birth dates. You can go here to read the full story. Hello to old and new site visitors alike. I know many of you are probably wondering why I call this the "new and improved" Success Chronicle, when much on the surface hasn't changed yet. For me, these changes are happening on both an inward and outward level. Ultimately, the result will be a much better resource for you, and a more efficient management system for me, so we all win. Quick reminder about the upcoming "Google Analytics" seminar May 22, 2008. There may still be time to sign up if you haven't done so already.

Doing Work You, Love Discovering Your Purpose

Tray Gamble — Mon, 19 May 2008 03:51:42 +0000

Photo Source Wikipedia
Have you noticed lately that a lot of people are looking for something else to do in life? I'm talking about Physicians or Lawyers who have become Musicians, Teachers who return to school to become Caterers or Florists.
This isn't a new trend, I think because much of the stigma has been removed from mid-life, or mid-career switching, people feel more empowered to change.
I was reading a review of a book called "Doing Work You Love" recently, by Cheryl Gilman that discussed similar topics.
According to Gilman, a key question was how to first learn what your naturally developed talent(s) were, then once discovered, how did you know best where to use them in the work environment.
Gilman also favors instructing young people on how to find their own unique paths in life. What a lot of wasted time that would save, if we all learned to listen to the ebbs and flows of our own body rhythms early on in life.
This is an excellent book that can really help others struggling to live and work in a fast paced world, but who seek the serenity of a much calmer lifestyle.
Tools are provided to help you really discover what it is you love, and there is guidance for all, whether you're currently employed, out of work, or unhappily employed.
You owe it to yourself to take charge of your life and live it to the fullest. To read more about the book yourself, you might want to take a look below.
