The days have been so incredibly busy, learning, innovating and implementing my internet presence and skills that I have neglected my personal blog. Well today I am here ( May 19, 2010) and am please to share with you some great inspiring articles. We are all connected in this world and what we each choose to do with our time effects the energy ether. So here are 2 articles that I encourage you to read. Think about how our world would be so different if these two innovators did not create their products and programs.
The Apple founder birthed the personal computer, was banished from his empire and then saved it from ruin. Along the way, he changed the way we work, play and communicate. And he’s not done yet.
On a foggy, cool day in January, Steve Jobs and Apple are bidding to change the world again. Jobs sits comfortably in a leather chair in front of a rapt San Francisco auditorium crowd, a large video screen tracking his hand movements on a thin, slate-looking object resting comfortably in his hands. Dressed in his trademark blue jeans, dark turtleneck, and New Balance shoes, the wire-framed Apple co-founder and culture-shaper peppers his speech with “remarkable, awesome” and “amazing” references to his company’s latest new wave—a notebook device called the iPad. This “truly magical and revolutionary product” fills a category need between his company’s successful laptop and iPhone and iPod business lines, Jobs says.

Jobs has established a rock-star-like persona around colossal, innovative successes that dwarf a couple of high-profile failures. The 55-year-old is personal, smooth. He exudes, well, a cool vibe.
Before his product announcement, he ticked off some heady numbers: In January, Apple sold its 250 millionth iPod; Jobs’ self-proclaimed “mobile-devices” company now has 284 retail stores that attracted 50 million visitors in the fourth quarter of 2009 alone; its “apps” store offers more than 140,000 software applications for its mobile products (more than 3 billion downloaded in the store’s first 18 months of operation); and Apple revenue makes it a more than $50 billion company.

Grow Yourself to Grow Your Wealth
What’s in your field of focus? Are you focused on opportunities or obstacles? Whatever the answer, I’m willing to bet that’s exactly what you’re finding in your life. Why? Because I’m a big believer in the universal law that states, “What you focus on expands.” Put another way, your field of focus determines what you find in life. If you focus on opportunities, you’ll find them. Focus on obstacles and you’ll find those.
Of course, I’m not saying that you shouldn’t address problems. When they arise, handle them and then quickly refocus on your vision. By doing so, you’ll be more likely to take risks. Your attention will be where it belongs—in the game.
But these days even the most confident risk-takers among us might be feeling less optimistic than usual. Despite recent economic growth, for a lot of people confidence is still low. Ask yourself how the effects of the economic downturn may have changed your filter. Are you more problem-oriented than you are solution-oriented? Are you constantly scanning a situation for what could go wrong? Do you find yourself asking, “What if this doesn’t work?”
If so, consider this: Being willing to take a risk doesn’t necessarily mean being willing to lose. By doing your research, you can make educated decisions on solid information. The key is to do it in as short a time as possible and then go for it or quit whining about it!
If you’ve been preparing to take advantage of an opportunity for weeks, months or even years, you’re probably not preparing as much as you are stalling. And while you’re stalling, that opportunity is likely to disappear.
