		<description><![CDATA[<!-- excerpt -->Whether you're walking out of your doctor's office with bad news after a physical, leaving a deeply inspiring workshop, saying good-bye to a friend whose dying, trying to decide about leaving your marriage or boiling over because you're not getting any traction or satisfaction from what you're doing...something deep inside of you says "It's time!" But how and where do we start?

</center></p>
<p>We are brought up to believe a certain set of rules: The early bird gets the worm. Slow and steady wins the race. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Good things happen to good people. Keep your faith, work hard, and all your dreams will come true.</p>
<p>But then we grow up. We learn that life isn&#8217;t really fair. There are no fairy godmothers, and not everything works out in the end, no matter how good we have been or how hard we&#8217;ve tried.</p>
<p>Why, then, are these myths perpetuated? Because clichés and over-simple recipes for living provide a soothing way to manage our daily lives without confronting the harsh reality that some parts of our lives are out of our control.</p>
<p>For several decades, Ken Druck has been willing to stand up and write about what we have hidden from ourselves for so long: we need to confront life as it is, not as we want it to be. We cannot magically wish things into reality. We cannot expect happiness or success to manifest from daily affirmations. By embracing the real rules of life, we discover life&#8217;s terms and learn to balance them with our own, preventing costly psychological debts and developing the life skills, underlying wisdom, and emotional freedom essential for fuller, richer lives.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://c5.praxisnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cheryl-t-campbell-headshot.jpg" alt="" title="cheryl-t-campbell-headshot" width="150" height="150" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3636" />From a simple farm girl to a business entrepreneur extraordinaire: Learn how Cheryl released limiting childhood beliefs to attain her lifetime dreams!</p>
<p>Author, business leader and community advocate, Cheryl will win your heart!  Cheryl’s enthusiasm and passion is inspiring, and her zest for learning contagious.  From her humble beginnings on a farm, she used her love of learning and teaching to reach her ultimate goal of teaching others how to create and grow a heart centered business using personal connections as the foundation for success.  </p>
<p>As an internet marketer in heart centered business for the past three years, Cheryl says, “There were a lot of twists and turns along my path to get me here.” She teaches other women, and local business owners, how to run a successful online business based on building relationships and using personal connections to build partnerships.  Already an established author, she is launching a new book titled, <i><b>Relationship Marketing and the New Entrepreneur:</b> How to Model a Leadership Based Business></i>. She also just completed her first telesummit, which was a huge success!  How did she reach this pinnacle, you might ask?  She reached these heights by building a strong skill set, taking risks, and following her heart.</p>
<p>Cheryl’s career began in the environmental field in the early 80’s when she was asked to run a hazardous materials and spill control conference because of connections she made early in her life.  She came from a family of entrepreneurs and her father actually started the first Connecticut based oil spill clean-up and recovery firm in 1976. Even though her degree was in marketing, she was quite comfortable forging her way through unknown territories. Because this was a relatively new industry at the time, Cheryl was able to learn and grow as the industry matured.  By 1997, she had been in the hazardous waste field for several years, and she was losing her zest for her work.  She says, “The whole atmosphere of the environmental field changed. The stress of being director of regulatory affairs for a high profile hazardous waste facility was changing my personality, and I hated that.”  Shortly after she was married, Cheryl made the decision to leave this high paying job and start anew.</p>
<p><img src="http://c6.praxisnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/cheryl-t-campbell-family-picture-300x138.jpg" alt="Cheryl T. Campbell Family Picture" title="Cheryl T. Campbell Family Picture" width="300" height="138" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3637" />Through another personal relationship, she interned with the owner of a small custom upholstery shop.  She traded a high income, no fun job to learn a new trade with very little income, but a lot of joy.  Eighteen months later, she started her own custom upholstery and interior decorating business!  In 2005, she built a website for the business and after spending thousands of dollars for marketing and still getting no traffic, she “hunkered” down and learned internet marketing for herself.  She was so successful in what she learned that she began to do affiliate marketing and built websites for others, teaching them how to tweak and improve their websites. All of this experience led to speaking engagements around creating heart centered businesses using new media technology.  </p>
<p>The road was not always easy for Cheryl.  As a young girl, she struggled with speech problems, namely a lazy tongue.  Cheryl overheard adults talking about her using words like “stupid” and “lazy.”  These words were not only hurtful at the time, but unconsciously resonated throughout her life.  It wasn’t until she began listening to Winning the Game of Business that she was aware these unconscious beliefs were still very present and affecting her success.  She says, “I burst into tears while listening to Winning the Game of Business when all of those hurtful words came flying back” and she realized these limiting beliefs were holding her back from achieving her ideal life.  Her biggest challenge was self-doubt.  She always had the feeling of not knowing enough until she began the brain training program.  “The programs made it easier for me to transition out of negativity and into action,” says Cheryl.  Before listening to the brain training audios, Cheryl would get stuck in a pit of inaction because of her fears.  Now, “within hours” she can walk through the negative self-talk and get right into taking on the next challenge.  She still has doubts from time to time, but the doubts don’t keep her from doing. In addition to the brain training, Cheryl also listens to the training and coaching calls and expert interviews. She says, “For the first time ever, I created a strategic business plan this past December, thanks to John.” Cheryl also participates in the PraxisNow community, a community of people who are as passionate and supportive as she is.  She has transitioned from a mere doer to a leader and has more confidence than ever before!  Saying, “I can’t do that,” is now replaced with a resounding confident “Yes!”  She boldly affirms, “I have found my true path in life and I love what I am doing.”  </p>
<p>Cheryl is so much more than an entrepreneur.  She serves on several nonprofit organizations to help make her community a better place to live.  “My community service is a big part of who I am.”  She is visiting Italy soon where she will be speaking about relationship marketing and how to use new media technology to create a heart centered business.  With all she does in her professional life, it’s hard to believe she finds time for leisure, but she makes the time.  Cheryl loves any type of water sport, cycling and reading.  She spends as much time as possible enjoying the outdoors with her husband Alan and his son, Ian. She says, “Ian has been the son of my heart since I first met him eighteen years ago and Alan is the kindest person I know and has always been so supportive of me.”  When I asked Cheryl if she had a particular message she wanted to share, she immediately responded, “Value your life story—everyone has knowledge to share. Most of the time you won’t know that you’ve made a difference, but once in a while, someone shares with you how you impacted their life &#8211; that’s an amazing and humbling feeling! Just get out and do it! What you know and share can make someone else’s journey easier.”  </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<!-- excerpt -->You can use vision boards to increase the power of your brain to achieve your goals and dreams. When you see pictures of what you want, and you visualize people engaged in activities that bring them closer to their vision, the mirror neurons in areas that control consciousness and motivation are stimulated. As you look at your vision board and visualize taking active steps toward achieving them, your brain begins to push you into action.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Activating the Neurological Laws of Attraction</strong> </p>
<p>Science reveals to us that we are social creatures with brains hardwired for relationships. In order to have fulfilling human relationships, we need to develop the capacity to peer into the intentions, emotions and interior minds of other people. When we learn how to do so, we can communicate with empathy and compassion. You might think of this as a form of “mind reading” In which two brains begin to function as one.  This is known as neural resonance, and it helps us to understand and actually experience the thoughts and feelings of others.<sup>i</sup> It may even involve specialized “mirror neurons” that allow us to mimic the actions of other people.<sup>ii</sup></p>
<p>The Law of Attraction depends on our ability to resonate to other people, and the more we train our brain to <em>communicate</em> our dreams and desires to others, the more we will attract people into our lives who share a similar vision.  In fact, by building an image of your ideal <em>future</em> self, your brain will begin to program itself to make that image become a reality.<br />
Here’s a simple exercise that will allow you to feel this powerful principle of self-realization:  Visualize the type of person you ideally want to be.  How would you think about yourself?  How would you handle conflicts?  What is the ideal way that you would relate to your loved ones?  </p>
<p><img src="http://c8.praxisnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/iStock_000011464574XSmall-300x199.jpg" alt="" title="Summer Clouds" width="300" height="199" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3540" />Now imagine yourself in the workplace.  Visualize yourself as the best leader you can possibly be.  Notice how that makes you feel.  Even at this moment, you are changing your brain and the old self-image it has created.  You are building a new you simply by thinking about the “you” you want to become. </p>
<p>The more you hold this vision in your mind, the more other people begin to resonate to your new self-image. That’s how the neuroscientific law of attraction actually works, and the more you focus on this ideal  relationship with your future self, the more people you’ll attract into your life with similar visions and goals.  And, as the two of you interact with each other, the more your brains begin to function as one.  </p>
<p>Together, you can build a powerful positive emotional state that becomes associated with your product and services.  This, in turn, will attract other people who will want to buy those services and products because they will intuitively know that it will bring them closer to their own goals of achieving an ideal self. </p>
<p><strong>Vision Boards, Mirror Neurons, and Neural Resonance</strong></p>
<p>You can use vision boards to increase the power of your brain to achieve your goals and dreams. When you see pictures of what you want, and you visualize people engaged in activities that bring them closer to their vision, the mirror neurons in areas that control consciousness and motivation are stimulated. As you look at your vision board and visualize taking active steps toward achieving them, your brain begins to push you into action. Follow the steps below to optimize your vision board, stimulate your mirror neurons, and thereby activate the neurological laws of attraction: </p>
<ol>
<li><b>Choose images that evoke strong, positive emotional states. While some of these images will be pictures of certain material things you desire, it’s also important to include pictures of important figures whose lives you wish to emulate in some way. If possible, include pictures of these individuals exhibiting emotions and actions related to their biggest achievements.</b></li>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<li><b>Take a mental and emotional journey into these images every morning and evening, and visualize yourself taking the necessary steps to bring you closer to your goal.  Become deeply familiar with the interior states of the important people you’ve included in your vision board. What intentions have they formed in order to achieve their success? What is most important to them? How do they feel? What impulses do they act on? How do their priorities order their lives?</b></li>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<li><b>Relate these interior states to what you most desire, and envision yourself thinking these thoughts, feeling these feelings, and acting on them with as much sensory detail as possible.</b></li>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<li><b>Write down whatever creative ideas and positive action items come to you.</b></li>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<li><b>Finally, and most important, map out on paper a strategy that encourages you to take immediate and consistent positive action each and every day.</b></li>
</ol>
<p>Because your brain does not clearly distinguish between inner visions and outer realities, vision boards make it easier for you to take such actions consistently. In addition, the positive emotions you evoke during this practice will not only elicit similar emotional states in the people around you, but will also be more likely to attract to you new relationships that foster identical positive and empowering emotions. <sup>iii</sup></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loving, kind and open hearted, Agnes Csurgai was hesitant to share her experience because she thought it was too subjective.  She wasn’t sure her story would make a difference, or even appeal to others.  For those of you who may be struggling with health problems or struggling with fear, this story will give you hope, hope and a path to overcome your unconscious fears that are holding you back from living a healthy, happy and productive life!  You, too, may face a hesitation to begin and commit, but once you do, you will be in awe of all you can achieve!</p>
<p><img src="http://c7.praxisnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/headshot-agnes-csurgai-216x300.jpg" alt="" title="Agnes Csurgai" width="216" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3506" />Born in Hungary, Agnes says, “My home country is wonderful, has a great culture, but at the same time, people are always complaining and very negative… as if the country has a very heavy spiritual burden.”  Although she began in Hungary, Agnes now lives in Brussels, Belgium where she works as a translator for the European Union.  She is fluent in Hungarian and English and also speaks conversational French and Italian.  Even as a young girl, she loved languages, and as a teenager, she travelled extensively.  </p>
<p>She continues to travel and learn languages today.  She works out six days per week, either swimming, doing yoga or hiking.  She loves music and plays the piano.  It’s hard to believe less than one year ago, she was on medication for high blood pressure (a genetic condition she inherited), was tired all the time, was over-weight and consumed a large amount of caffeine and sugar on a daily basis.  How did Agnes go from tired, caffeine and sugar consuming to energetic and working out every day?  She faced her fears using brain training, and took action to turn her life into magic!</p>
<p>About 4 years ago, Agnes had the flu with symptoms that never seemed to go away.  She consulted several doctors, but they couldn’t find a reason for her symptoms.  Her blood pressure was rising and this, too, according to doctors, was just part of her genetic makeup.  Agnes took it upon herself and began actively seeking a way to feel better.  She spent time researching on the internet and found several different avenues, one of which was transitioning to whole foods.  From here, she was led to a list of recommended programs, one of them being The Mind Mastery Summit.  The speakers impressed her, and one of them, John Assaraf, seemed to have complete control of his life.  At the time, she hesitated investing in Winning the Game of Money because she is not a business person, but she says, “My desire to try this program became greater than my reluctance.”</p>
<p>The road to brain training wasn’t an easy one for Agnes.  As soon as she began Winning the Game of Money, she started to develop fears that she had not been aware of prior.  She lost her mother at the tender age of 17, and her father became very ill two years later.  She looked after her father for 10 years, a very difficult time for both of them.  She knew these fears could be “linked to her personal history,” and related to her family’s illnesses she saw as a young woman.  She began to experience panic attacks, and felt anxiety she had never experienced prior.  She stopped and started the program several times due to the anxiety, headaches and dizziness.  However, she persevered.  Agnes says, “The love and support I received from the PraxisNow team, my accountability partner and the community was what got me through it.” </p>
<p>One of the most helpful bonuses to Winning the Game programs is the community, according to Agnes.  She began participating in the forums regularly and gained immensely from several threads.  The “healing power” of the community has deeply affected Agnes.  Along with the tremendous support from other members, there are great topics that aid in taking action.  “There was a thread ‘30 days—Start this, stop this now!’ in the community” that Agnes used as a challenge.  She gave up coffee and refined sugar and began exercising regularly.  </p>
<p>When Winning the Game of Fear and Procrastination became available, Agnes made the investment because she still wanted to achieve more.  Even from the introduction, she “understood certain patterns” and this was very helpful in overcoming fears.   “There was a shift in my thinking,” says Agnes.  “I could see my fears from the outside and manage them, in the sense that I could receive love and replace tragic memories.”  </p>
<p>Agnes has lost 20 pounds, and she has had measurably improved health results!  More importantly, she has more energy and is able to spend more time doing the things she loves.  She also participated in Having It All, Success Manifestors and How to Get More Done in Less Time. By planning her day, Agnes took control of her life and continues to use these time management skills today.  “I achieve more because I choose what and who is important, and I plan,” she says.  “I didn’t expect to have all of this success… I did it for my health, and I feel changed, optimistic and grateful,” she says in disbelief.  The unexpected results from the brain training programs, the involvement in the community, and access to the training and coaching calls occurred in a relatively short period of time.  “I got back more than what I invested… I got back a lot of time,” she says.  Agnes would absolutely recommend the brain training programs to others, but she says, “I would tell them to take it slowly because they are very powerful.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://c4.praxisnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/vicki-higgins-headshot-213x300.jpg" alt="Vicki Higgins" title="Vicki Higgins" width="213" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3447" />From Indianapolis, Indiana, Vicki’s energy is contagious!  Her zest for life and learning spreads across all areas of her life.  Tenacious, vibrant and hard-working, Vicki’s story of overcoming emotional and physical abuse, releasing limiting financial beliefs, and finding great mentors along her journey will make you want to embrace your challenges as an opportunity to create the life you deserve and desire! Read how Vicki turned turmoil into triumph, and how looking into her heart lit her way to happiness! </p>
<p><strong>Power of Purpose</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes, life gives you lemons… some of us choose to swirl the bitter taste in our mouths and live from that acidic spot, while others use those same bitter moments to plant seeds of growth.  From Vicki’s unique perspective about facing challenges came a calling to write a book with two partners and created a business called Rainbow Walker Books*.  “My goal is to continue to grow and inspire others.  I have been blessed with the lessons I have learned.”  Vicki’s main purpose is to challenge others to think about their lives, question what makes them happy, and help them get unstuck right now.  A brief synopsis provides the basis for this life changing book:  “The Beginning is intended to appeal to many people at different parts of their lives.  It is meant to challenge them to think about their lives and the direction their lives are headed in.  It is designed to get them to ask themselves if they are happy on the path that they are on.  It is intended to get them to look inside of themselves for the answers of where to go and what path to be on.”  </p>
<p>The challenge of this “new beginning” is to encourage others to spread their wings and release the societal expectations of what “should” make them happy and pursue what is in their heart to find true happiness.  “In the silence, you find truth and what makes you happy,” Vicki says.  During those times of silence, Vicki found her way by embracing her past experiences, learning from them, and turning them into assets.  This venture brings an expansive smile to her face!  Vicki took her early struggles and used them to manifest her dreams! </p>
<p><strong>Taking flight</strong> </p>
<p>Even with limited financial opportunities, Vicki found grants and worked two jobs to pay her way through college.  She became a Pacers rep right out of college and stayed with the Pacers for ten years and managed 1200 clients!  She admits, “I tend to be an overachiever, mostly because of a ‘not enough’ feeling.”  She continued to push herself and earned an MBA while working 18 hour days to “prove” herself, she says.  She literally threw herself into her work and career, which also led to her divorce.  </p>
<p>Vicki met her first great mentor while working for ATA Airlines in April of 2011. Although she is very book smart, her business mentor helped her learn how to execute what she learned.  Even after the events of September 11th, she worked four more years with ATA and took on seven different departments from advertising and marketing to public relations.  She says, “This was a great opportunity for me to put in practice all of my business skills, such as marketing, advertising, online efforts, public relations, brand management, and strategic partnerships.”  She learned destination marketing in the 2nd most visited destination in the country: Los Angeles.  In a brand new city where she didn’t know anyone, she threw herself into work again and created a whole new department at LA Ink, the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau.  </p>
<p>“I was the go to person for what to do in LA,” she says.  Although she learned quite a lot, there were several challenges.  Up to this point, Vicki was doing what she believed society expected of her; working long hours, taking on more responsibilities, and earning a living.  All of this hard work, she realized, was for someone else, and she “wasn’t looking inside of her heart” for what she wanted to do.  Shortly after this realization, she was found by a recruiter to work as Sr. Vice President of Marketing for Visit New Port Beach, Inc.  Today she says, “I love my job and the work that I do and it allows me to spend my free time teaching and inspiring others.”</p>
<p><strong>Overcoming past pain and limiting beliefs</strong></p>
<p>Life was not always so easy, and like many of us, Vicki faced numerous challenges during her childhood. Vicki’s childhood times were challenging, to say the least.  She came from a lower middle class family.  Her mother has always been and still is very loving.  Vicki was quiet, shy, insecure, and basically, ignored at school.  From the ages of 9 to 14, Vicki experienced physical and verbal abuse at the hands of her father.  Her dad split on them, but this was a good thing for Vicki because when he left, so did his abusive nature.  Financially, her mom struggled to take care of her two children, and those struggles created limiting financial beliefs that Vicki would later face and overcome.  She had no great mentors in her family while growing up, but she knew she wanted more out of life, so she pursued an education to forge her way in the world.  </p>
<p><strong>Seeing the light by taking ownership</strong></p>
<p><img src="http://c8.praxisnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/vicki-higgins-with-donald-trump-300x200.jpg" alt="Vicki Higgins with Donald Trump" title="Vicki Higgins with Donald Trump" width="300" height="200" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3451" />Vicki read hundreds of personal development books, as she tried to change the pattern of struggle in her family.  She realized, through her courage and strength that she could take her past challenges and struggles and turn them around to create the life she wanted. She recognized that all of the learning from personal growth materials offered great information, however, it wasn’t until she looked inside herself that she really found her own path; nothing would change until she reached deep inside of herself.  Attending a book marketing event in September 2011, John spoke as a guest speaker, and Vicki, who had met John while working with the Pacers twenty years ago, had a chance to catch up and visit.  “I always had respect for him and admired his deep level of personal awareness.  He has a genuine passion for helping others,” she says.  She was then introduced to John Assaraf’s brain training programs, and Vicki had never seen this type of program before.  “It made perfect sense to me.”</p>
<p><strong>Shifting Gears with Winning the Game of Money </strong></p>
<p>Vicki made a “solid commitment” to Winning the Game of Money in November.  She knew she had limiting beliefs about money.  In fact, she had a fear of not having money and carried a small amount of debt, even though she could easily pay it off.  During the brain training program, Vicki experienced a profound shift in her mindset and started taking ownership of her thoughts, body and spirit.  Something clicked in her thinking, and she paid off all of her debt!  Her major turning point was when she looked inside and started to believe that she deserved all she desired.  The brain training program gave her the courage to look inside and find what was right for her in her life.  “I have a great life, and I am excited about what is happening in my life!  I have a child-like zest for life again,” Vicki beams.  Things weren’t always so good, and she confesses there were periods of depression and sadness, but the answers came to her during silence.  </p>
<p>“I came from a place of fear, and now I am in a place of abundance.” Through Winning the Game of Money brain training, meditation, and a dedication to growth, Vicki was able to release the limiting beliefs she had from childhood.  Vicki maintains a strict schedule, allowing for time to take care of herself.  She works out regularly, even while working long hours.  To give you some idea of just how focused she is, she even schedules her social time.  She credits the many training and coaching videos from John for her focus and time management.  “How to Get More Done in Less Time was really helpful in learning to be more effective and efficient with time,” she says.  Winning the Game of Money, Having it All, and replays “are very impactful and keep me moving quickly on my path.”</p>
<p>Vicki is definitely on her path!  Not only is she getting in gear to launch her book, The Beginning, but she and her partners are also launching a website, a blog, and have started focus groups to make sure their mentoring is on track with people’s needs .  Vicki’s longer term goal is to speak in front of others with the purpose of “sharing and providing inspiration.  I love to grow and be challenged.  I love my life, and I am more balanced now.”  I have no doubt her childhood zest for life, her contagious energy, and by following her heart, she will continue to reap amazing rewards for this and any other project she takes on in the future.  </p>

<p><i>*Rainbow Walker Books was created out of the meaning of “Rainbow Walker.”<br />
Rainbow Walker is important because a rainbow is bright, energetic, and encompasses the light in beautiful ways. A rainbow brings smiles to people and is somewhat magical when it manifests after a storm or a rain shower.  A rainbow shows people they have come through darkness and returned to the light.  The rainbow is symbolic of what we hope to give others.</i></p>
