In my last blog I spoke to the reality that there’s no money for all the changes people are hoping for… 

We did however elect a President who absolutely inspires.

So let’s take a deep breath and look at what our new President elect’s own advisors are now saying about what he can realistically accomplish:

From the front page of  New York Times (online) November 5, 2008:

–The caution reflected the inevitable perils of taking control of the White House at such a difficult time, particularly after a campaign that stirred so much hope among voters. The economic crisis will certainly complicate Mr. Obama’s more ambitious domestic efforts like broadening health care coverage and cutting taxes for most Americans. His call for a change in the tone in Washington would require a sharp shift in history. Even with substantial Democratic majorities in the Senate and the House, passing major legislation could still be time-consuming for Mr. Obama and require compromise.–

Do you get the message?

DON’T WAIT FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP YOU.

I’ll make another prediction:  You’re going to hear a growing theme of “self reliance” coming from our newly elected administration (It’s good and about time!) … Because the problems are so overwhelming that it’s going to take an enormous effort to reverse.  You’re going to have to become responsible for your own welfare in the coming weeks and months.

As you know I’ve been working on a video with the working title: “Radical Prosperity Mindset”. I’m happy to announce that Gwen and I have decided on an upgraded title more befitting and frankly kind of obvious when you think about it:

“Intentional Self-Reliance” 

So we’re moving ahead with this exciting new video.  In fact our new report – “Intentional Self-Reliance — 5 Radical Tips You Can Use Now”  will be on the web site within the next 24 hours so make sure you download your copy.

“Intentional Self-Reliance Workshop” is our new video that’s going to give you a step by step process for transforming your current mindset and your lifestyle into one you can face any challenge or change in the coming weeks and months…

As I’ve written before now that the election is over you are going to start being told the real immensity of the financial crisis we are facing.  I think the New York Times article is just the beginning of the “reality check” we are now all in for…

For those of you who know you have to take control of your day-to-day reality — the coming days are going to be a chapter in your life full of possibilities and opportunities.  

But it’s an attitude thing:  If you are prepared to amplify your personal self-reliance you’re going to successfully ride the wave of change…

If you choose to bury your head in denial or worse, wait for the government to help you out — just remember what happened in New Orleans, during hurricane Katrina.  

Don’t wait around…
