The reason we’re here in Bend is for our quarterly meeting of principals for REITeam LLC, the investment company Liz and I helped found.
I don’t normally talk/write about our business dealings on this blog, but today’s opening meeting was something worth sharing. Rick O’Bill is a distinguished personal success coach and trainer. He has taught seminars on the subject of achievement and the science of getting what you want out of life for over 30 years. He is buddy buddy as well as a business partner with people like Bob Proctor and Mark Victor Hansen. Anyway, he came and gave a talk just to our meeting this morning for about 2 hours. I couldn’t imagine a better way to start off a board meeting. We discussed the importance of controlling what we think, the power of our paradigms, the effect of our vibrations on our results, as well as some practical step-by-step procedures that we could use to get the same positive results every time.
I’ll just mention one thing here, but I’m going to write more about it in future posts. Our lives and our progress towards improvement can be thought of as a four step process.
1. Think 2. Feel 3. Act 4 Result
Our thoughts start everything off. They come to us primarily though the Physical Factors of sight, smell, touch, taste, and sound. However, being blessed as we are, we can also filter this input through our Intellectual Factors. They are 1. Perception 2. Imagination 3. Memory 4 The Will 5. Intuition 6. Reason It is once we can learn to master and control these 6 Intellectual Factors that we can really start to control and create the lives we want for ourselves. Remember, everything starts as a thought. As Andrew Carnegie said (I’ll paraphrase) “Any thought that we hold in our concentration, whether we fear it or desire it, will become physical reality though the most efficient and sensible means available.”
Somewhere in this process I must have been thinking of a good bottle of wine and a delicious steak because that’s what we’re off to do right now.
