It is time we take the hint. I speak about it in Little Miracle 59. I want to give you my definition of love; to assist another in fulfilling their goals and dreams. That is giving to the next dimension. It is so imperative that we begin now. Too many people are not loving their neighbor. They are bashing their neighbor. If you have been listening to some of the talking heads that do nothing but bask others; turn it off. Listen to a CD with positive thoughts. This toxic diatribe corrodes the container. When you continually listen to bashers you will face your next prospect with a negative mindset. Then the prospect will become someone else’s client. Become a beacon of hope to the next person you meet. Become a beacon of hope to your community. Soon you will have to build a larger barn to hold your crop. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Mel Kaufmann&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9037713751664151526-1222346148859242362?l=prosperityforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/feeds/1222346148859242362/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/10/love-your-neighbor.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/1222346148859242362'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/1222346148859242362'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/10/love-your-neighbor.html' title='Love your neighbor'/><author><name>Prosperity Forum</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07915006211028451852</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037713751664151526.post-6513221358031747295</id><published>2009-08-27T10:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-27T10:48:02.547-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Greed</title><content type='html'>I have yet to hear anyone address the root cause for our recession. Maybe the following will explain why we have arrived at this moment in our history.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Greed&lt;/span&gt; is a nasty five letter word; more filthy than any four letter word. But what is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;? I believe it is taking something that is not yours and failing to reimburse. Before we can solve the economic dilemma we must understand the root cause. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Greed &lt;/span&gt;is the cause of the financial tsunami. We must not blame Wall Street entirely. We must not blame Main Street entirely. The blame begins on our street. Each of us in a small way caused the recession. Each of us at some time or another has taken something and gave nothing in return. President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a bill that gave the indigent an opportunity to purchase a home. This bill was well-intended. It wasn’t the law that caused a problem; it was the abuse of the law that was the inception of the recession. Some people began to purchase a home they could not afford. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. Some realtors sold homes to folk who knew they could not afford. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. Some bank and mortgage companies went along with this idea and loaned the money to some who could not afford the payments. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. Many bankers and lenders began to loan more than the value of the property, hoping inflation would take care of the difference. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. The rating agency was tainted. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. Most firms on Wall Street got the creative idea of packaging these loans as derivatives and selling them as a security. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. Many Wall Street firms sold these securities to pension fund managers and large investors and guaranteed them. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. Many Wall Street firms set up a sham company that would insure the securities. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. These Wall Street firms could not call this sham company an insurance company because it would have to be regulated. That is &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;greed&lt;/span&gt;. The loans began to default at such a rapid pace, many firms on Wall Street could not honor their guarantee. This financial tsunami will continue until someone says, “Enough is enough!” Let’s begin the next generation of investments with The Golden Rule as the foundation stone of our financial system.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9037713751664151526-6513221358031747295?l=prosperityforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/feeds/6513221358031747295/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/08/greed.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/6513221358031747295'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/6513221358031747295'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/08/greed.html' title='Greed'/><author><name>Prosperity Forum</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07915006211028451852</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037713751664151526.post-2345432581637067280</id><published>2009-07-22T10:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-22T10:49:22.509-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How do you find the time to schedule networking into your day?</title><content type='html'>This is a very valid question. If you follow all the wisdom in The Little Miracles book you will develop more business by networking than all the other marketing methods combined. Many networking events do not nibble away at your business day. Many are breakfast meeting. Many are luncheons events and some are after work business opportunities. I would not take time during the day to attend any event. If you will turn to the definition page in the Little Miracles book you will notice the second definition of an event is when two or more people meet. This means you should be asking two or three of the Link questions with every one you meet for the rest of your career.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9037713751664151526-2345432581637067280?l=prosperityforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/feeds/2345432581637067280/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-do-you-find-time-to-schedule.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/2345432581637067280'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/2345432581637067280'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/07/how-do-you-find-time-to-schedule.html' title='How do you find the time to schedule networking into your day?'/><author><name>Prosperity Forum</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07915006211028451852</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037713751664151526.post-2375174048066862749</id><published>2009-07-13T01:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-13T01:53:56.844-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Are you frustrated about not attracting the right people at networking events?</title><content type='html'>Networking is very frustrating because I can never seem to attract the right people. I get bombarded by people that are not the business professionals I want to meet.  How do I change this?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a great question! This is the reason I wrote the Little Miracles book. You need a game plan. Begin by reading and applying Little Miracle 46 (The Careful Organization) and Little Miracle 47 (The Careful Event). People who bombard have to have a target. You cannot be bombarded unless you give permission. I would suggest you quickly move past those who you do not want to spend time with and head directly for your target. Begin to target people rather than being the target. Remove yourself from nonproductive people by using Little Miracle 73 (Conversation Conclusion Two). Take control of your financial destiny. If you don’t take control of your business life, there are plenty of people who are eager to bombard you.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To order the Little Miracles book visit &lt;a href="http://www.littlemiraclesbook.com"&gt;www.LittleMiraclesBook.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9037713751664151526-2375174048066862749?l=prosperityforum.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/feeds/2375174048066862749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/07/are-you-frustrated-about-not-attracting.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/2375174048066862749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9037713751664151526/posts/default/2375174048066862749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://prosperityforum.blogspot.com/2009/07/are-you-frustrated-about-not-attracting.html' title='Are you frustrated about not attracting the right people at networking events?'/><author><name>Prosperity Forum</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07915006211028451852</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9037713751664151526.post-2517727277339713375</id><published>2009-07-10T20:11:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T20:29:26.433-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Little Miracles Book</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style=";font-family:Garamond;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Little Miracles is  a very unique and profitable book that does not explain networking but  teaches how to use networking.
