I checked my credit score recently as I typically do every few weeks. It's a good thing to keep track of. Your FICO score determines your interest rate and even the ability to get financing. It also can alert you to erroneous entries.

Most of the credit reporting services—of which I've tried several—are the same services repackaged by different companies. I've been disappointed by ones that claimed to offer reporting from Experion, Transunion and Equifax.

In some cases, they provided the report but not the FICO score. And in others, they gave the score from all three, but provided a full report on only one of the agencies.

The one I like the best so far is CreditCheckTotal.com as they provide all three reports AND scores for $19.95 per month.

Just paying your bills on time will not assure a high score. Credit capacity is king.

What many people don’t know is that your score can be adversely affected

As you might imagine, we get a lot of DVDs and CDs that people want me to review. Most of them just pile up.

This one was different.

I sat down to review this DVD while thumbing through a magazine. It didn't take me long to put the magazine down. I became fully engaged for the rest of the program.

And you will be, too.

Do you sometimes think that there is more to your life than just this? Are you sick of the same old things everyday? Do you want to live the life you desire or the life somebody else mapped out for you?

If you want to change your current situation, you need to know how to think big. This isn’t just about coming up with wacky ideas or outrageous solutions, but thinking about your life as something that is bigger than what it is right now.

Every choice you’ve made has led you to where you are now; every choice you make now will create your future. Your choices come from your thoughts and how you perceive your place in the world. By thinking big, you will rise above your current situation and begin to create the future of your choosing. Here is how you can think big and become big . . .

How to Program Your Mind to Attract What You Want . . .

We all aspire to be, do and have great things. Yet most of us simply aren’t creating the results we want. We don’t have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives. But what we need to understand is that greatness exists in all of us. It is simply up to us to pull it out of ourselves. We all have genius.

We just need to learn how to apply it.

Decide What You Want
In order to get what you want, you must first decide what you want. Most people really foul up at this crucial first step because they simply can’t see how it’s possible to get what they want—so they don’t even let themselves want it.

Don’t sabotage yourself that way!

What scientists now know about how the brain works is that you must first decide WHAT you want, before your brain can figure out HOW to get it. Once you lock-in your desires, your mind and the universe can step in.

Are you ready to get started?

Dawn and I went through an interesting exercise this past weekend.

We each made lists of what we would like the other to do MORE of and what we would like the other to do LESS of.

The resulting lists are a bit too personal for me to share here, but I can tell you that we were both surprised at some of the things that ended up on these two lists. The process allowed us to each gain greater insight into what the other wanted—or DIDN'T want.

Some great dialog ensued, and we came away from the experience with better understanding and more awareness. And since we both want to support one another in the best way we can, I'm sure we'll be able to please each other more and irritate each other less than before.

It goes to show that even after 15 years together, we still have a lot to learn about one another.

Since this exercise worked so well for our relationship, I decided to apply it to our business.

It's a take-off on the old Start/Stop, More/Less process. Let's say you were starting your business all over again, or you were buying it from someone else. What would you START doing that you aren't currently doing and what would you STOP doing that you're doing now?

Clarity leads to power. These are the top ten things I think are worthy of you becoming and remaining clear upon.

Here they are in no order of priority . . .

1. What You DON'T Want
As important as it is to know what you want, it's also important to know what you don’t want. We highly recommend keeping a Toleration List—a list of things you're tolerating in your life and your business that you no longer want to tolerate.

The mere act of identifying the things you are putting up with that are detracting from your success and happiness will begine the process of eliminating them.

Start your Tolerations List today—and review it at least monthly.

2. Your Path and/or Your Vehicle
When you know what you want, what you don’t want and are clear on all the other things in this list, you have to become clear on the path to getting where you want to go. What's your plan? What's the vehicle that will take you there? Is it a good plan and are you using a dependable vehicle? Is there a backup plan?

Get clear on your plan and make sure you have the right vehicle.
