From The Palace:

I cannot imagine how scary these times are for most people.  I have been up and down financially through the course of my life, and all I know is I wouldn’t want to be facing these times without the tools and strategies I have been using over the last twenty years.  

I want to invite everyone who is afraid right now to come stay at my house until it all blows over, (well not everyone).  One thing is for sure: it will blow over.  Where it lands, though, is a different story.  While I have plenty of room at the Palace for a lot of people, I am not going to allow just anyone to come stay.  The reason is simple: As the patriarch of the Palace, it is my responsibility to protect those under my care.  It is my duty to make sure the ones willing to do their part in our Alliance are protected for the betterment of all.

I haven’t ever in my life been one to have much in the way of houseguests.  Over the past two years I have had more people visit than all of my life combined.  In fact, as we speak, I have four members of the Prosperity Alliance living with me so we can get as much as possible done.

Here are the rules of Prosperity Palace and my reasoning behind them:

1.    No complaining.  If you don’t have a better solution, or at least a desire to make things better, shut your pie hole.  Criticism isn’t constructive.  Present your desire for change in the form of a suggestion of what would work better or get over it.

2.    Be positive.  The world is doing its best to bring everyone down.  This is our oasis, our safe harbor.  Even in challenging times, let’s stay the course.

3.    Have fun.  I mean, without fun what’s the point?  Take time to breathe.  Go for a soak in the spa, play in the skateboard park, play basketball, play tennis, shoot some pool, play some Crokinole.  It makes everything easier to have the mindset and attitude of smart seven-year-olds. Let’s laugh.

4.    Get some exercise in.  A clear mind is a creative mind.  Use the gym, go for a walk, do some hot yoga.  Twenty minutes a day really is simple. Consistency is everything.

5.    Read something useful.  Learn to fall in love with learning again.  If you never fell out, up your consumption.  Put a book in each bathroom so you have something to do when you are flushing and flossing.

6.    Pray and take a long hot shower.  Prosperity is a state of mind, not a state of finance.  Let the water cleanse you from your trouble of yesterday.  It’s a simple pleasure.  While you are at it, sing in the shower.  You will be happy because you are singing.

7.    Lock the gate.  Even though it’s not a positive thought, make sure your ducks are in order.  Lock the gate, lock the door, set the alarms.  Only a fool sets themselves up for an attack.  People are doing things that are selfish and dishonest in the outside world.  Desperate times create desperate people.  Protect your family and yourself by paying more attention to the little things.

8.    Give other people space.  Tempers are short these days.  Remember to breathe.  You don’t always know what someone else is dealing with.  Be patient and kind.

9.    Contribute to the household.  It’s not always about money.  Time, talent, attitude go a long way toward creating harmony.

10.    Remember the cameras are on.  Live your life as if you were totally responsible for your actions whether you think anyone can see you or not.  While right and wrong are sometimes subjective, consequences are not.  Be the same in the dark as you are in the light.  Have no grey area and you won’t worry if someone finds out what you are doing. Have total integrity.

11.    Be grateful.  You have a roof over your head; you ate today; you are reading this on the Internet. Count your blessings.  We don’t have it bad; we are way better off than most of the world, even in our darkest moments.  Find some simple pleasures like giving and receiving a hug.  

Even if you don’t come live within Prosperity Palace (we are totally full up at the moment, although you can put in for an opening should one come up ;) ), you can create your own.  I have always named my homes. It puts people on notice when they step inside.  It lets them and you know what is expected.  When the spirit in the home is a warm and welcome one, good things happen.  You don’t need square footage; you need appreciation.

Prosperity Alliance has already made two people almost $50k and we haven’t even launched yet.  It’s working out better than I expected and only getting bigger.  Being able to share concerns and inspirations with like-minded people that are committed to going for more is totally essential right now.  If you are not a part of a Prosperity-Conscious Community, come join ours… Prosperity Alliance.

God Bless,
