Doesn’t every mom think their kid is cute as a button and could be a child super models?

Did you know that a child super model can earn millions of dollars every year? That’s what children of every age are doing by appearing in television commercials and movies.

Could your child be next?

If you are constantly being told how beautiful your baby or child is, perhaps it’s time to talk to an agent about getting started in the profitable business of modeling

Here are 3 Simple Steps to Find a Child Model Agent:

1) Make any size copy of a recent photo of your child. A nice recent 4 x 6 snapshot of your baby/child will do. You don’t need to spend money on professional photos. Child model agents agree that babies and children change too quickly.

On the back, be sure to write your child’s name, birth date, contact number, height, weight, hair color & eye color.

2) Include a short note about your child & what you are interested in pursuing. (modeling, commercials, film, etc.)

3) Then mail out to prospective, licensed agents.

I would also attach a well-written cover letter. For example, tell an interesting or funny story that will make your child stand out.

Agents get hundreds of pictures daily so the competition is fierce…but it’s worth the effort.

Especially if your child is able to pay for her own college tuition being a child super model! Or maybe even a trip to Walt Disney World.

You might also want to use an online modeling website to put your child’s picture and information about modeling interests to get worldwide exposure.

So where do you find a list of licensed agents in your area?

There is a company that has been in business since 1992 and has done all of the hard work for you by compiling a list of licensed modeling agents.

You can buy preprinted mailing lists that are updated daily. Plus, easy to mail peel and stick labels.

For less than you’d pay to go out to dinner, you can help jumpstart your child’s modeling and acting career - right now!

Lists are a very reasonable $16.95 and Peel & Stick labels are $19.95.

If there’s not a list for where you live…there are NO modeling agents in my small town…a list of New York or Los Angeles will work just fine.

They hire child super models from all over the country.

So if you’ve been thinking about getting your child in modeling or acting, now might be the time to give it a try.

It’s a lot of fun and it doesn’t cost you much - except maybe some time.

Unique Ways Your Millionaire Kids Can Make Some Extra Money To Become Self-made, Generous Millionaires…Even While Still in High School!

The internet is considered a gold mine of valuable information as it can offer everything you need to advance your knowledge in any field that you can think of; from SEO to gardening, from sports to entertainment, from biology to scrap booking; name it and you’ll find all the information you need over the World Wide Web.

This is the reason why more and more people are hooked in the internet. They know that they will be able to find the information they need in just few clicks on their mouse. If you want to attract these people to your website, you better start writing very informative articles that you can post on your blog, website, and on various publishing sites.

Here’s how you can advance with article writing:

1. Be entertaining. Have you ever watched a movie that is so boring you have to leave the cinema before you can even finish it? This is how exactly your readers will feel if your articles are not entertaining enough. That is why, it would help if you can make your articles sound more personal and if you can insert interesting quotes or personal stories that will lure your readers to read on. Of course, you will need to make sure that your copies are content-rich so your readers will not feel that they are wasting their time on your articles.

2. Help your readers. Instead of thinking about the dollar sign when writing your articles, it’s better if you can focus your attention on helping your readers and the money will surely come afterwards. Don’t hesitate to share what you know to help these people resolve their pressing issues or understand the issues that affect their areas of interest or chosen careers. When you are able to feed them with the information that they need, they are most likely to consider you as an expert. As you know, this can ultimately lead to a fruitful and trusting business relationship.

3. Carefully proofread your articles. One of the common mistakes that most writers commit is that they do not manually proofread their articles before they post them online. As a result, their copies are full of grammar, spelling, and even factual errors. As these can easily damage your online credibility, ensure that you take the time to review and revise your copies before you make the available to your target audience.

What?

I guess at this point in my life, some would say I have gone completely “around the bend” or “over the edge” about this issue of getting more focused, organized and productive. It is no longer just an area of interest for me. It is my career, my passion and pretty much all I want to do for the rest of my life. I believe that studying about and teaching this body of knowledge is my true “calling,” and my fascination with this field continues to grow stronger each day.

If you study any topic diligently, sooner or later you begin to see fascinating connections and begin to understand how the various strands of knowledge and snippets of information come together at a common point. When this starts to happen, you can’t help but wonder about the unifying element of it all. You wonder, “Is there a central idea, concept or focal point that pulls it all together?”

So…is there a focal point or unifying element of getting focused, organized and productive? I’m beginning to think there is!

So What?

If you observe highly focused people, you can usually track their behavior to the same controlling source. If you trace good organizing habits to their source, you always arrive at the same place. If you track down what makes a person highly productive, once again, you find yourself heading in the same direction. It’s as if you backed down the train tracks heading out of New York City until you arrived at their originating point. If you do this, sooner or later, you arrive at or near 42nd Street and Park Avenue…New York’s Grand Central Terminal.

In similar fashion, if you back down the tracks leading to focus, organization and productivity…they take you to the Grand Central Terminal of human beings…the brain.

I often tell people who are struggling to get organized, “If you get your mind right…everything else will begin to easily fall into place.” I suspect most people probably pass this off as a casual statement or consider it tired, worn-out advice. However, in my mind, there is no better advice I can offer. I have studied this topic for a long, long time. I am becoming more convinced that the human brain is the focal point that pulls everything together. Therefore, if you understand more about how the brain works, you will begin to uncover the true secrets of living a more focused, organized and productive life.

Now What?

A friend of mine recently bought a very expensive, very sophisticated new car. Right after he bought it, we jumped in his car and took a short ride. The car is the high-tech automotive equivalent of a thermos. It knows! Just as a thermos somehow “magically” knows to keep cold things cold, and hot things hot…this car knows how to assess various situations and respond accordingly and appropriately. It has enough buttons, switches, bells, whistles, gadgets and features to keep a rocket scientist happy for quite some time. Fortunately, my friend is a maven with regard to such matters, and I am convinced he will learn to use all the technological wonders available in his new car. However, I imagine some people will buy a car just like my friend’s and never learn to use a fraction of the gadgets. All the gadgets will be available, ready for use…but they will get little use out of them until they take the time to understand how these features work.

In a sense, this is a good metaphor for your brain. It also has a lot of interesting bells, whistles, gadgets and features. You increase your ability to take advantage of these wonderful features if you know more about how they work. Here are just a few examples:

• The brain has three separate systems that either work in harmony or compete for control over your behavior. One system is in control of your automatic functions such as breathing, heartbeat, temperature, metabolism, etc. A separate brain system controls your emotional functions. A third system controls your ability to think and exercise sound judgment. Everything works best when the systems are in balance and working together. When you see someone who is focused, organized and productive, the three systems are operating in harmony. The best way to create balance among the three systems is to pace yourself properly (as opposed to overloading your systems with too much input) and simply think about what you are doing…when you are doing it. Another way of saying this is: Do one thing at a time! Somewhat rare behavior these days. The brain systems work together best when you focus on one thing at a time.
• When you begin to overload your brain systems by multitasking, rushing or operating under too much stress, your emotional brain (the limbic system) takes over and starts calling the shots. One part of your emotional brain (the amygdala) hijacks your body and takes total control over your behavior. Although this can be a good thing at times (for example, if you find yourself being chased by a saber-toothed tiger), unlike a thermos, the emotional brain doesn’t always know how to respond appropriately to incoming messages from your five senses. For example, when the incoming messages indicate a tiger is on your tail, every nonessential brain system that doesn’t have a lot to do with running in the opposite direction is essentially shut down. One of the first systems to shut down is the thinking system of your brain (the neocortex). Your emotional brain basically says, “Don’t think…run!” The good news…we are not chased by tigers very often these days. The bad news…the brain doesn’t know that. Anytime you operate under too much stress, the brain thinks a tiger is on your tail and shuts down the thinking functions of your brain. In general, when the thinking functions of your brain are shut down, you default to your habits…good or bad.
• The moral of this story…if you are going to operate in a state of heightened emotions, you had better install some very good habits in your brain and nervous system to handle things important to you. That’s why they make pilots, astronauts and military people drill on emergency procedures so much. When the amygdala hijacks their bodies, they can still function effectively. Therefore, forming habits is the key to success in getting more focused, organized and productive. Planners, file systems, electronic gadgets and gizmos only work if the proper habits are formed first.
• The brain also houses your memory system, which operates much like a sophisticated tape recorder. Unlike a regular tape recorder, the brain’s memory system stores both facts and feelings. When things happen to you, a part of your emotional brain (the hippocampus) records the facts related to what happened and another part (the amygdala, again) records the feelings associated with the facts. When a similar, not necessarily identical, set of facts occur in the future, the tape recorder is turned on and the recorded feelings resurface and strongly influence your behavior. For example, if your parents scared you as a child by saying, “Don’t talk to strangers,” a little too often with a little too much emotion, you may have trouble being a superstar salesperson as an adult. You’ve probably got a tape running that inhibits your ability to perform one of the most critical functions in sales…talking to strangers. Most people have strong tapes related to money, taking orders, giving orders, being assertive and other issues related to being a successful businessperson. Some of your tapes serve you well…some don’t! Learning more about your tapes can be an enlightening experience.
• Although people often compare the brain to a computer, it is really better to think of it more as a chemical factory. All instructions issued by the brain are carried out by chemicals call neurotransmitters. Therefore, what you eat, how much you exercise, how you breathe, and anything you do that alters the chemicals flowing through your brain can alter your behavior. Basically, the neurotransmitters running through your brain and nervous system fall into two categories…excitatory or inhibitory. So, take a look at your current life speed and figure out if you need to slow down or speed up. Here’s a hint…learning how to breathe properly is a good use of your time if you want to influence neurotransmitters.

I could go on and on about how the brain, tapes, neurotransmitters and other factors influence behavior. But here’s the main point: If you really want to experience quantum leaps in your ability to get more focused, organized and productive…learn a little more about how your brain works. When you understand more about how the brain works, you can actually begin to exercise some measure of control over it, especially when you are operating under stress. Otherwise, it controls you…and you wonder why you intended to do one thing…but did another thing entirely.

Our spiritual mind is the garden in our backyard with acres of diamond.

There are unlimited riches to be discovered within us, if our spiritual mind is fully centered and aligned.

In “Recovering The Soul”, Larry Dossey. M.D. said that the human mind exists somewhere in time and space in concert with the physical body, which opens it up to boundless opportunities:

“Suppose for the moment that we could show that the human mind is nonlocal; that it is ultimately independent of the physical brain and body, and that as a correlate it transcends time and space.This I believe would rank in importance far beyond anything ever discovered, past or present, about the human organism.

This discovery would strike a chord of hope about our inner nature that has been silenced in an age of science; it would stir a new vision of the human as triumphant over fresh and blood.

It would anchor the human spirit once again on the side of God instead of randomness, chance and decay. It would spur the human will to greatness instead of expediency and self service … And once again we might recover something that has been notably absent in our experience of late; the human soul.”

Despite its importance in our personal growth, our spiritual mind is often relegated to second fiddle when we are hopelessly conditioned by years of formal training in quantitative and analytical skill; all of which are left-brain dominant skills.

Our spiritual mind opens up a new paradigm for personal growth. It can potentially move us to a new dimension of possibilities that we otherwise would never encounter.

Think about many highly successful corporate executives, who are prompted by their spiritual mind to change course by doing communities services, pursuing spirituality, committing to nature preservation, etc. Success takes a different meaning for these executives who have all “been there, done that”.

The human spirit is our ultimate home.

All the tools that we acquired with our mind power will not make us a complete human being, if the human spirit is lacking. Our spiritual mind is the finest part of our mental faculty. It brings freedom from fear and pain, and gives purpose and meaning to our life.

We often start our career defining what we have known to be success, and work for it passionately years after years. Many of us reached varying degree of success in career and life, only to start rethinking what it all means. Many find that the success they have achieved does not satisfy the deeper yearning in their spiritual mind. Despite the financial and social success, we find ourselves insecure and unhappy. We realized that, without spiritual fulfillment, all our achievements become meaningless. If we are not successful as human beings, all the material success looks painfully shallow.

Too often, underlying the glamorous and successful life that we see in our society is personal misery that stems from an unfulfilled spiritual mind. And so, more and more people embarked on a journey of spiritual awareness, to develop the three powerful spiritual skills: A sense of wholeness and community, humility, and love.

Sense of Wholeness and Community

Our sense of wholeness and community empowers us with the recognition that we are part of something greater than ourselves - a relationship, a family, and a community. Our ability to act for a greater good of others enriches our spiritual mind and frees us from self-centeredness.

It is commonly observed that breakdown of cooperation occurs quickly in organizations where superiors are ‘only out for themselves’, and corporate policies don’t respect individual needs and concerns. Such environment only fosters disloyalty, apathy, and self-serving behaviors.

Humility

With humility, we realize that we are a small but integral part of something greater than our own small self. That is the key value that builds the belonging of people.

Humility seems to run contrary to a world where everyone is trained and encouraged to be the best. The word “humility” conjures the impression of weakness, meekness, lack of drive, and easily taken advantage of. It is hard to associate humility with personal power.

Humility is one of the most powerful qualities that arise from inner strength and health. We experience humility through a deep sense of awe when we participate in the birth of a child, gaze at the stars, experience the power of thunderstorm, or experience the awe and beauty of nature. These experiences strike a chord deeply with our spiritual mind.

I remember the younger days when I participated in school brass band performance, Chinese orchestra concert, and public choir performance, those are truly humbling experiences. The performers, crews, and the audience are all integral part of the whole experience that is transcendental. At the end of the performance, everyone leave the hall with a feeling of kinship with everyone there. There was no longer any need to feel more important than the next person. Everyone was part of the unique awe-inspiring experience.

Our sense of awe opens up our spirit of humility and nourishes our spiritual mind, making us a better human being.

Love

Love is shown in selfless giving, be it money, time, care, concerns, and attention. The more you love, the less fearful you become. The more you give, the more abundance you gain. Love and selfless giving release us from the limitation of our ego.

It is interesting to know how the nature of pain is related to love. Whenever we experience pain, whether physical or psychological, we experience a boundary or limit. Many people who suffer chronic pain, which medication or surgery can no longer help, learn to eliminate pain by visualizing and eliminating the boundary lines around the pain. Once the boundary is removed, the pain no longer exists. This is usually done by relaxation, concentration and imagery.

If we take this to a broader scale, our life suffers pain whenever there are limitations and boundary that we could not overcome, be it physically, emotionally or psychologically. These limitations are mostly created by our ego. And love is the powerful force that could break and dissolve all the limitations.

The more we empowered our spiritual mind, the more we are able to work on our ego to break these limitations, which is the essence of inner healing. This is the path to boundless and abundant living. This is what success is all about.

Public speaking is a curiosity; most people either love it… or are absolutely terrified of it.

Some people are physically ill just saying their name in front of a group… while others will wrestle you to the ground to rip a microphone from your hand.

Over the years I have done somewhere over three thousand presentations nationally and internationally (including corporate stuff, educational stuff, sporting teams, schools and fitness industry stuff).

And at least five of those talks were good.

Alright, three.

I get emails every day asking me how I got to do what I do and what advice I might have to offer the would-be public speaker.

So rather than re-writing the same reply nineteen thousand times over the next ten years, I thought I might make my life easier and formalise my thoughts on the matter with a post.

Okay, pens poised.
(or printers turned on).

Here we go… Public Speaking 101:

1. Decide what kind of speaker you want to be:

Find your public speaking niche; what are you good at?

What are you suited to?

What are you passionate about?

Who do you want your audience to be?

What is your key message; your mission?

Do you want to do it professionally?

Are you an educator… “Okay class, let’s take a look at the physiological benefits of progressive resistance training for the elderly”

Are you a motivator… “I’m not interested in your comfort or enjoyment, I’m interested in results… now stop whining, stop bleeding and get up off the floor!!”
(Mmm… maybe that’s a masochist!)

Are you an entertainer… “hey guys, a funny thing happened on the way here tonight… “

2. Have a U.S.P.

In business we want something which separates us from our competitors; we call this a Unique Selling Proposition. If you want a successful career as a speaker then you need to give people a reason to want to utilise your services. People always have options… so we want to be the best option (eventually)… or a better option at least.

3. Spend significant time writing, preparing and committing your presentations to memory.
You need to (1) have great content (fresh, interesting, challenging, stimulating, confronting, funny, relevant) and (2) you need to know your stuff inside-out.
The better you know your material, the more relaxed you will be in front of your group.

Looking at notes repeatedly while you speak… not cool.

4. Practice often.

In the car.

In front of the mirror.

To your dog, cat, rabbit… plants!

Recruit an audience… your family perhaps.

5. Get feedback.

When you do any presentation (even if it’s a dry run in front of friends or family) ask for constructive feedback. Don’t be precious and consciously work on your weaknesses.

6. Film your presentation.

Want some real perspective?… watch yourself on film.
The first time I saw myself on video (it was the 80’s) I was totally weirded out by all of my little public speaking idiosyncrasies and habits… I repeated myself, I spoke too fast, I spoke with my back to the audience (as I wrote on a board), I kept rolling up my sleeves in this kind of unconscious nervous little ritual thingy (embarrassing) and my finish was about as exciting and empowering as porridge.

I hated watching myself.

But what it did was let me see what everyone else sees.

Not a particularly comfortable process but a valuable one.

I instantly became a better presenter after that.

(I didn’t want to put anyone through that pain again).

7. Do freebies.

Every public speaker has done hundreds of freebies along the way.
You can only develop a skill… by practising that skill.
Reading about, talking about and thinking about public speaking doesn’t improve your actual skills…. public speaking improves your public speaking skills.

8. Be able to present on different topics… or at least variations of the same topic.

If you can speak (competently) on a broad range of subject matter, you are more likely to be in demand.

9. Study other speakers.

Next time you watch another (quality) public speaker, take a look at the process through the eyes of a student public speaker; you will learn a bunch.
Watch how they engage their audience, their timing, their use of (appropriate) humour, how they dress, how they incorporate their audio-visual stuff, how they start, how they conclude.

10. Create opportunities

“So Sam, tell me a bit about yourself…”

“Well I actually do a bit of public speaking in the health and fitness area…”

“Hey that’s fantastic… how would you like to talk to my team of fat sales execs?”

11. Join a public speaking organisation

There are some great organisations (like toastmasters) who get like-minded people together and help them develop their public speaking skills and careers.

12. Don’t be impatient.

If public speaking is something that you might want to do long term, don’t be impatient.
Spend adequate time learning, watching, researching, practising and developing before you rent your first ten thousand seat auditorium.
Be ambitious.
And realistic.
And patient.

13. Know your audience.

Research the company, organisation, group that you’re speaking to.
What kind of group are they?
Will there be thirty or three hundred in the audience?
Are they corporates, are they truck drivers, are they predominantly male or female, are they kids, are they students… have they been presented to before?
Talk to the organiser (the person who gave you the gig) and get some insight into your audience.

14. Use audio-visual aids when appropriate and relevant.

The occasional well-placed video or slide can be a valuable addition to a presentation and can provide you with a nice opportunity to re-group, collect your thoughts and take a look at your crowd.
This concept is not to be confused with the mindlessly-boring presenter who feels compelled to base his entire presentation around a series of slides, photographs, charts and statistical tables.
(all high-lighted with his laser pointer gizmo).

If I see you doing that, I’ll hurt you.

15. Don’t rush your material.

Don’t talk too fast, don’t try and present too much information and don’t have too many slides (if you are doing a power-point presentation). Not too long ago I sat in a presentation where the speaker had over forty slides for a forty minute presentation.
It was a disaster and it hurt my brain.

16. Have a great finish.

Leave them inspired, challenged, excited, curious and impressed.

There you have it; Craig’s mini-seminar on public speaking.

You just graduated college, started a new career, got married, had a child, bought a house, bought a boat, whatever the case may be budgets are used at every stage of life. Budgets are used as a planning tool to set financial goals. Budgets are used to plan for the future to be allocating the proper resources today. Setting up a budget is very uneasy and uncomplicated, there are even online tools that will do it all for you. The harder part of the equation is determining what percentage of your income goes where. There are general guidelines about personal budgets out there, but a budget can provide you with a much better comparative advantage if it is tailored directly to your finances. Personal budgets serve people to plan and see how much money they want and can spend on each sector of their life. It is up to the individual how much money they want to put where so budgets differ greatly. Some budgets can provide people with a mechanism to save up for something that they desperately want, and once they have achieved that goal their budgeting is done with. Others use budgets as a daily tool to regulate how much money they spend on each sector of their life so that their finances can be balanced with the adequate funding.

Whether people admit it or not, budgets are complied in the mind of the individual even if they do not put it on paper. Most people have an idea in their mind how much they want to spend on what but when unexpected occurrences arise they get confused and often make bad financial decision. This shows the importance of putting budgets down on paper or on the computer so you can see the ratios of where your money is being spent. Budgets also act as an indicator to see where you are over spending and overspending. You might have not been aware of it before but your entertainment budget is greater than your food budget, may you have a problem with this and maybe you do not, it is up to you. But budgets allow you to see this information and you can assess any way you want.

Personal budgets can give a person more freedom because they do not have to worry about any unexpected expenses from affecting their daily life. When setting up a budget it can be beneficial to over account for such items as food or utilities so that there are no surprises when the bills come around. Personal budgets not only act as a planning device but they also act as a regulating device. If you go over budget in one sector that means that you have to directly reduce funding in another. This means that you will never go over budget because you are manipulating your budget so that you do not. Your budgets can be flexible must you must be aware that providing to much variance can cause you to loose track of the general concept of budgets.

The Brett Favre Saga continues. On July 23, 2008 it was reported that the National Football League commissioner Roger Goodell has now ordered the Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson to finally come up with a resolution to the unfortunate standoff between the Green Bay Packers and their retired, then un-retired star quarterback Brett Favre.

It has been made clear by Thompson that the team is fully committed to proceeding as planned, without Brett Favre as the starting quarterback. The Packers main intention right now is to start a completely untested in the NFL quarterback by the name of Aaron Rodgers; this is instead of openly taking back the 3 time National Football League Most Valuable Player Brett Favre.

It is somewhat understandable how frustrating it must be for the Green Bay Packers to have accepted the retirement of Favre as an understandable and logical decision, only to have him come back a few months later and announce that he has changed his mind and wants to continue to play professional football. There was no animosity on either side; it was just time for the 38 year old star quarterback to complete his NFL career. Unfortunately this decision was probably not as well thought out as it should have been. To announce your un-retirement just months after your retirement is a bit of an unsettling move for all involved. This is currently the center of what has become known as the Brett Favre Saga.

It is understandable that the Green Bay Packers National Football League franchise is first and foremost a business. To run a successful business many plans are carefully laid out and each portion of a plan affects other portions of the plan as well as other plans which are all in the grand scheme of things. In order to devise and test ideas and plans it takes money, and in the case of big business on a scale such as this it takes big money. To simply erase all the planning and arranging would certainly be a huge financial waste. And the fact that the beginning of the 2008 National Football League season is just around the corner certainly does not help matters.

The fact that Brett Favre has had such an outstanding career and has accomplished so much on such a grand scale is actually the other side of this coin. To choose to go with a whole new direction and offensive leader at this time, when the quarterback who led a thirteen and three regular season finish just last year is ready and willing to step back into the role of offensive leader, is highly questionable. This is questionable even when you consider the business and financial side of things.

To add to the unpleasantness of this whole situation, known as the Brett Favre Saga, the Green Bay Packers have now filed tampering charges against the Minnesota Vikings NFL team franchise. This is apparently the result of Brett having used his team issued cell phone to communicate with the Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress on several occasions apparently in order to discuss the possibility of him joining the Vikings as their starting quarterback for the 2008 NFL season.

After choosing the right broker, you need to get the feeling of the market, but without the risk. This is where the demo account of the broker comes in handy. After you sign up with your broker, don’t start trading with real money right away. Ask your broker for a demo account with virtual money. This way you will be able to understand how the trading platform works, and you will be able to perform trades in the Forex market without risking your money.

When you can make trades with your eyes closed, it is a good time to choose yourself a Forex trading system. Such system is supposed to give you exact rules about entering and exiting trades the most profitable way. You can either make your own system or get a pre-made one. If you are a beginner, it is better to get a system made by someone else, a system proven to work. When you gain more experience, you may want to develop your own system.

The next to last step, after you have your system, is practicing it on the demo account and seeing if it works. Never trust a system blindly, always check what you receive. Practice trading according to the system, including all technical and mental aspects of trading like this. When you do a good job following the system and the system proves profitable for you, you can make a deposit and start trading real money, making real profits.
