• New Product: The Bill Planner v1.0
• Do You Have Confidence?
• Where we're going next

As a CPA, I guess it was only a matter of time before introducing a product to help people manage their finances more effectively. In our usual fashion, we have taken a complex system, injected intelligent design, and created a simple, user-friendly tool. We want to give a special thanks to Productivity In Context Guru Stephen Smith for partnering with us on the design and development of this tool. For a limited time, we are offering The Bill Planner at a discount.

Do You Have Confidence?

I was reading a book by Norman Vincent Peale this week called Positive Imaging. It has become one of my favorite books in a short period of time. Having read The Power of Positive Thinking years ago, I was elated when I found out that he had other books as well. The great thing about his writing is that it brings both the practical and the supernatural together. He doesn't say that Positive Imaging all by itself will solve all of your problems, but he does say that it's a part of the solution.

Positive thinking, positive imaging, praying, meditation, and other spiritual activities all work to accomplish two major goals - Clarity and Confidence (or Faith). When you focus inward and engage your thoughts (subconscious and conscious mind working together), you are bringing about an awareness of what you really want. If something comes to mind that you don't want, then you can remove it. What you take out is just as important than what you put in. When you remove thoughts that don't belong, the picture of what you do want becomes clearer.

Clarity of purpose is a generally precedes confidence. Once you have clearly focused the picture of what you want, you will be amazed at how the resources start appearing to help you paint the picture in your life. This process begins to build a desire, then, a belief that you can achieve it.

Peale shares a story about a Chinese refugee who had committed to memory Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me". By internalizing this belief and genuinely believing these words, this refugee, who had arrived in Hong Kong with nothing except his wife and eight children, was able to rise to a life of wealth.

This refugee's formula for success is the following:

I Believe + I Can + I Will = I DID

Through Positive Imaging, he was able to rise through the economic levels and build a better life for his family. Imaging is critical to clarify for your believer (your heart or subconscious mind) what it is you want. Then, it goes to work to line up the resources. This may through your own actions, such as noticing something you hadn't noticed before, taking a different route home one day and encountering a tool that will help you paint your picture, or taking action on goals that will ultimately bring your picture into physical reality.

The fulfillment of the image may also come from the actions of others. There have been numerous times where I've visualized the Bubbles on my Today page completely accomplished in a given day even though it would have been physically impossible for me to do it all. It is simply amazing how the task will either be finished by someone else or become unnecessary altogether. Sometimes, the tasks are completed with no action on my part. Even though I can't fully explain it, there are invisible forces that work on our behalf. Personally, I believe it is Jesus.

So, whether you use Positive Imaging, Bubble Maps, or Prayer; start clarifying your future and watch your confidence grow to such a level that not completing your goals is a surprise.

Where We're Going Next

You'll notice that this newsletter is a Life Management Newsletter even though we've been primarily a Time Management company. Well, here's the skinny. We started with Time because we saw this as the greatest need as well as the foundation for all of the other Life Management areas: Health, Finance, and Relationships.

Once you have a grasp of critical time management skills, then, you will be available mentally to start improving other areas of your life. So, in the coming weeks and months, you'll begin to see Bubble Up expand it's vision to providing tools and information to maximize your health, to become wealthy or wealthier, and to develop many close, beneficial relationships with friends and family.

So, we thank you for joining us on this mission and we look forward to providing tools and knowledge to help you create and achieve the life you've always imagined.

Be Blessed,

Bill Tyler - Your Success is Our Highest Priority!
