Now matter what’s going on with the economy you still have to move on with your life.

Everyone is becoming affected in one way or another by the growing recession. Even if you have a secure job – like working for the government – you’re still going to feel the effects of the rapidly changing “rules of the game”.

So what can you do?

You have to “keep going”. There is no alternative. You still have to live your life.

Oh sure, I am going to urge you to adjust how you think, act and what you expect — so you minimize the effects of the recession — that’s why I’ve spent so much time on the Intentional Self-Reliance Boot Camp. It’s a very timely process — that is “streamlining” your life so that you are in the best possible position to face any unknown challenge.

But .. You should be in this “self-aware” position anyway.

Being in control of what you actually can control, being present in the moment — not “sleepwalking” through your life — these are all things that apply no matter if it’s the best of times or the worst of times.

It’s just human nature to not “rock the boat” until you actually see the water rising inside the vessel. Then you get motivated to do what you should have been doing all along.

As I’ve been putting the finishing touches on the many video segments in the Intentional Self-Reliance Boot Camp –  I’ve realized that the information it contains is timeless. It applies to anyone in any economic cycle. Yet, it took this sudden downturn in the economy to make it somehow more relevant.

The basics of living life on your own terms and following your passion – which are found in “The Intentional Prosperity™ System” – still requires the same information I’ve put together within the Boot Camp!

I guess that’s what makes the information so credible.

It’s always applicable.

It’s unfortunate that so many people who would scoff at the consideration of adjusting the trajectory of their lifestyle will — because of the economic hard times — finally begin to pay attention to the very aspects of their lives they should have been aware of all along.

But that’s how it goes in life… We just walk along until we stumble and fall. Then as we pick ourselves up and we finally look around to see where we’ve been walking. Hopefully, we use this “glitch” to change direction — which is where the Boot Camp comes in.

The truth is a year ago not many people would not have paid much attention to phrases like “self-reliance”. Now, all of a sudden, doing what you can for yourself and your loved ones has become a matter of survival for many.

Funny, I always believed doing what you can for yourself and your loved ones — to live the best life you can — was your ongoing responsibility. Waiting for a global meltdown to finally take a serious look at the direction your life has been going — seems like it might be too little, too late.

In the great scheme of things, however, it’s just another opportunity to find out who you are and what your real purpose may be.

If it takes getting hit on the head with a “financial hammer” in order to wake up – it’s way better than not hearing the alarm at all.
