Change Your Life For 5 Dollars A Month

The deluxe version of My Life Changes is a cheap 5 dollars a month. It’s really, really cheap compared to the cost of developing it.

For 5 dollars a month you get E-mail reminders, Private journal, Archiving, a motivating timeline and no Advertisements!!

We spend 5 dollars on a coffee at Starbucks or a Happy meal. Why not consider 5 dollars a month on My Life Changes?

It would really help me add more tools to this website and give you all these great options!

I’ll even give you this cool link to a hilarious comic about where not to spend your hard earned money.

This is how I feel about buying apps

Thanks!

How I Started A New Life With One Hour

There are 24 hours in a day. Once those 24 hours are up, that day will be gone forever. Then a new one starts all over. Then it is gone forever too. How are you spending each day?

The burning question is how do you spend your 24 hours? During the week, we may have 7 hours to sleep,8 hours for work, 1 -2  hours for various and traffic, 2 hours for meals. This leaves us with about 6 hours. Let’s say we exercise for 1 hour and if we have a family, 3 hours with them.

We still have about 2 hours left over.

1-2 hours to start your dream.

1-2 hours to begin your blog.

1-2 hours to meditate and relieve your stress.

1-2 hours to read self development and expand your mind.

I spend 1 hour a day on this website, writing, editing, modifying, creating and finding incredible meaning and purpose.

What is stopping you from planting the seeds of the dream life you always imagined? Why aren’t you spending an hour a day on what YOU love? Why are you giving 8 hours to a corporation and leave nothing for yourself?

It’s time to stop screwing around, wasting your time and make the life changes you want right now.

There is absolutely no excuse.

Create Habits That Are Important And Make You Happy

Are you doing the things in life that are most important to you? Are you doing the things that make you happy? That bring you joy?

What are the habits or rituals that give your life the most meaning and purpose?

The more you put your habits on autopilot the easier life gets.  Think about it.

In my life I have a number of important habits that are automatic for me.

  • I don’t keep sugary snacks in the house because I don’t buy them at the grocery store.
  • I listen to self development audio books in the morning traffic because it keeps me calm and I learn something new every day.
  • I try to write in my blog every day because I believe that the meaning of life IS to give something back. And if you are reading this I’m giving.
  • I bring a banana, yogurt and keep dried apricots at my desk because every bite I put in my mouth will affect my future health.
  • I listen to meditation tracks every morning because I want the day to begin in a mindful and calm way.
  • I have regular automatic deposits of money into my retirement fund because I don’t wish to worry about money later in life.
  • I envision my dream life every day so I am always driving towards it.

I don’t really have to think about these habits, they automatically happen.

What automatic rituals or habits can you develop to distract you from negative temptations?  What kinds of immediate gratifications are stressing you out? Are you over eating? Over spending?

Get your healthy habits on autopilot.

Take control of your life.

NEXT 90 DAYS CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE – A Warning From My Life Changes.

Most of the moments in life are lost forever.  We have about 600,000 moments a month and our remembering self ignores almost all of them. Kinda sad huh?

Are you keeping score of your life? What is the score? Are you proud of your score?

Are your memories beautiful stories that you can tell yourself, families or friends? Or are your recent memories of watching television? Maybe you have been stuffing yourself with burger and fries. Are you in a cubicle working late for that brainless boss?

Why aren’t you creating wonderful memories? Why aren’t you creating a story of your life that will make you proud?

Have that dinner party with your best friends and share your dreams. Feed those dreams to your soul.

Write your dreams down, stick a date on them and make them fucking happen.

Your future is waiting for you.

Take that meditation class.

Get your ass to the gym and hire a trainer.

Take your kids to the zoo.

Make that passion into a living, breathing business.

Fill your life and memories to the brim with fabulous stories. Stop being scared. Take a fucking risk.

The next 90 days are wide open.

Make memories that connect with your soul. Make memories that last until eternity. Make memories that shake the very core of your being. Go crazy.

Now you have a story to tell the world. Now your score is 10 out of 10.

The world is waiting.

90 days.

Start Creating The Best Internet Company

I was just thinking about when I was a teenager and school was out for the summer. Remember that Alice Cooper song? All I had to look forward to was warm summer days playing baseball or football in a sun splashed field. ALL freaking summer. Those were the glory days.

Then I grew up and became a responsible adult with bills to pay, power point presentations and making sure I had a decent place to live.

Now I want to break the rules. I am on the verge of creating another company. A company that will break all the rules. An Internet based company that will turn the business consulting world on its head.  I have no doubt that it will succeed. I believe.

In a few months I may not be playing baseball on a scorching summer day, but I’ll be taking a break by walking on a beautiful beach, anywhere in the world.

Like I’ve said before, the Internet is opening up the world for anyone to start a business. Find your niche and go for it.

My company, my rules baby.  Freedom, creativity, fun and profit.

Start creating the best internet company you can.

What’s stopping you?

Give Me 5 Minutes And I’ll Show You How To start A Kick Ass Online Business.

I was vacationing in Florida last week and the break from the daily grind gave me time to reflect on my life and my career. I’ve been contemplating launching another business for a few years now and it’s high time I kick my own ass and just do it. Have you?

The business is centered on providing business executives an outstanding online tool for tracking projects and how to effectively improve a business process in 5 easy steps. I have the vision, passion, knowledge and business plan to create this dream. I will pour my heart into it. Do you have a dream that is waiting for you?

I can’t work for a company for the rest of my life. Yes I have My Life Changes, and I love this site but it isn’t nearly enough to live on.  This is my time to take my work experience and sell it to the world. Yes, the entire world.  This is my time to run a world class business exactly how I want to. I will own it, learn from its failures and rejoice in its success.

In time I will be able to work from anywhere in the world, on an iPhone , ipad or laptop. I will have the freedom and control over my career and life like I have always dreamed of. In the morning I will wake up to the soft roll of ocean waves because that is where my new home will be.

So come for the ride and I hope you will learn a thing or two about creating an incredible online business over the next few months. I am going to rock the business world to its core.

Make Self Control Your Bitch

Once in a while I get the urge to shut down My Life Changes and walk away from it. When I review the statistics of users and how long the stay with the site it can be tremendously disheartening. Thankfully the occasional note of how the site has helped someone make life changes or become more optimistic keeps me going.

But what is the real issue here?   The issue is that our long term life changes (losing weight, saving money, pursuing our dreams…etc)  are constantly being  shattered by our short term  choices (Cookies, new iPad, and a million distractions from tweets, texting and apps).

In order to counteract weak human nature, immediate gratification and living in an age of excess, I’m creating a section where you share a contract with another person.   This pledge or contract will make you accountable to another person in order to reach your goal(s). You may pledge to give that person your favourite CD, book, IPod, picture or even half a year’s salary.

It’s your choice what you decide to pledge. But I’ve got to make this more painful. I’ve discovered people need penalties if they miss their goals. So start that book, business, weight lose, or dream life, and be prepared to lose more than just a few minutes of your time here if you fail. It might just make you succeed.

I pledge to give ____ if I do not reach my goal, by this date __ __ __

On that note, what would make this site a 10/10 for YOU!  I would love to hear your ideas.

I’m Feeling Like Superman And Going To Live Well Forever

March 3, 2011 by Terry

Talk about making a life change! I’m feeling like a zillion bucks these days.  I recently started taking health supplements as one step towards a longer and healthier life.  I have been on the fence about health supplements for a long time.  There is so much information about vitamins, I didn’t know what to believe.  What changed my mind?  I recently read a book about telomeres, based on the Nobel Prize winning genetic research. The book is called The Immortality Edge”.

I am also reading the book Transcend: Nine Steps to Living Well Forever

Telomeres keep our chromosomes intact like those plastic caps on shoe laces. Our cells divide and replicate, and if our telomeres shorten our cells can die.  With exercise, diet, supplement and stress reduction we can rejuvenate our cells. Supplements for me are the first step. I researched (I do a ton of research) and decided to order my supplements from Life Extension.  These supplements aren’t cheap (nor are they the most expensive) but I’ve decided my health deserves nothing but the best.

You gotta love a State of the art formula capsule that is really a super vitamin.

I’m feeling more lucid, sleep better, less tired and I’m amazed I’m writing this at 9:00 at night instead of passing out with a book on my nose.

Now, I’m no idiot and I’m being super cautious about what quantities and qualities of supplements I take. There has been some bad press about multi-vitamins, telomeres and Vitamin A. I’m also aware that just because a bunch of doctors write a book (and one of them has his own store) it doesn’t mean they have the final word on health. During my own doctor’s appointment tomorrow I’ll be sure to discuss the pros and cons of supplements. But for now, I’m quite happy.

I’m “turning on” my disease preventing genes.  I think. LOL

How To Lose 100 Pounds In Six Months

February 23, 2011 by Terry

I love the television show Heavy. 22 obese people change their lives dramatically by losing massive amounts of weight with the help of a team of professionals. If there is one television show that shows how to make extraordinary life changes, this is it. Many of these people are close to 500 pounds and will die if they don’t change.

These obese people face a mountain of challenges, not only in order to lose weight, but to get past the conditioning they have faced all their lives. The challenges they attempt try to get over include eating to make up for parents that abandoned them, food addictions, friends that influence them to eat, family that create negative lives….the list goes on and on. It is as much a mental challenge as a physical one.

But in the end, with all the help from the professionals in the show it is ultimately their own responsibility to lose the weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

The question to you is:

What’s stopping YOU from losing weight and getting healthy?  If these people can lose 100 pounds in six months is there any reason why you can’t make the changes that you have dreamed of? With a little education from the articles here and the goal tracker I hope I have inspired you to begin making that change right now.

Heavy – Losing is their only hope
