How many times have you swore to yourself that you were going to get out of the rat race known as the daily 9 to 5 and start your own thing! You’ve had it with your boss, you’ve had it with missing out on special events involving your family and you have DEFINITELY had it with working so hard and sacrificing so much of your time for a paycheck that barely covers the necessities, never mind any extras! You look in the mirror everyday and find you don’t recognize the person staring back at you anymore, how in the world did it come to this? How did you ever end up so depressed and unhappy? And furthermore, how do plan on making things different?

Think about this for a moment…you work so hard for someone else and get paid so little. You might not like the job you are currently doing but you continue, you have to make money, right? What if I told you that all you need in order to succeed financially is to apply that same effort and determination towards your own business? Imagine how much more productive you will be knowing that you are working for yourself and your family and you are the one calling the shots! I will bet that you will give all of your passion towards something you love to do and that puts the cash in your pockets instead of someone else’s!

Too many people have gotten themselves stuck in the trap of waiting for a business to magically profit for them without any type of real work coming from themselves. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get caught in that trap with all of the ingenius advertising campaigns that saturate the internet targeted towards individuals just like yourself who swear by their system, all you have to do is pay a fee, sound familiar?These ads get your hopes up only to drop them instantly when you learn that there is WAY more to it than that or even worse, you get stuck with an eBook that leaves you more confused about it all than you were when you started! There is no free ride. Period.

There is a Law that governs everyone and is forever working even if you do not know about it. It’s called the Law of Attraction and it’s very real, very powerful and designed with you in mind. Simply put, this law states that what you think therefor you are. What goes around comes around. You reap what you sow. If you think you are the successful business person you aspire to be, then guess what, YOU ARE that successful person. But there is a catch, this law helps those who help themselves. Simply wishing for a change to happen isn’t going to manifest the change. You must WANT for yourself, you must TASTE the type of life you so desire and you must BELIEVE that only you have the power to make it be, because you do. Having motivation, passion and the determination to succeed sets the foundation for your successful business, now all you need is the business. By joining a system who believes just as much in the power of self and the Law of Attraction you are surrounding yourself with good and with good comes more good. It’s the law. A boomerang effect if you would. A business that was built upon the belief that when you put out good into the world, you are destined to get it back. A system involving a network of people who are there to ensure your success as well as their own, because they understand that the success of the whole is only as great as the sum of it’s parts. A business that was built to serve, not just take, a business who in itself is inviting good Karma if you will.

Knowing that you hold the power within you to become the person you aspire to be should be motivation enough to get you started on living life in a positive way for you and your family. But when you are lacking that inspiration, there will be others there to inspire, you just have to join them.

With the advent of technological advances in our world, our lives have become easier and more comfortable. Each year ushers in a new throng of new products and upgrades that advertising tells us we must have. Technology has impacted the sports world in hundreds of ways. Some would argue that these advances have both helped and hindered the sports we love. In this article I will focus on the dwindling interest our younger generation shows toward the greatest game on earth.

As I drive up and down the street in my neighborhood I see many basketball hoops on both sides of the street. Some are nailed to the garage or sunk in yards of concrete. Most are part of a fancy system that includes a goal, pole and base. Many of them can be adjusted by a 5 year old from 10 feet down to their preferred height. These units are easy to set up and available at almost any superstore or internet web site.

From the number of goals that line the streets of America’s towns and suburbs, you would conclude that kids love playing basketball. Back yards are void of soccer goals, goal posts, or baseball fields. From what I see, basketball is the only game in town. Am I right or am I wrong?

For some reason these goals sit alone and unbothered in driveways up and down the street. There are very few kids hoisting shots toward the shiny orange rims. Not in the the fall, not in the winter, not in the summer. A few shots are taken in the spring when its easy to be outdoors in the fresh air. All of this leads me to ask the perplexing question, “Where are all the gym rats?”

Our world has made being a kid quite an undertaking. Electronics have taken over the lives of our youth. Cell phones, iPods and Playstation have captured the imagination of an entire segment of America. Is this bad news for our younger generation? Some would argue these worldly improvements are part of life. Those of us who love the game of basketball disagree.

Shooting hoops in the driveway always gave me a great sense of freedom. The ability to shoot for hours alone represented a lot of my time as a young player. With sadness, these days I rarely see this kind of expression of love and freedom. It hurts to know that kids are paralyzed in front of the LCD screen, computer flat panel, or Madden 2007. What happened to shooting the shot that wins the imaginary NCAA tournament, State Tournament, or NBA Title. Isn’t it fashionable to dream anymore? Are we living out these experiences through a video game or other lifeless channel? What happened to the dreamers in our world?

Maybe it’s my stubbornness or traditional approach to the game. Maybe it’s because I dedicated my professional life to the game James Naismith invented. Or maybe it’s because I see too many kids without this level of love for basketball. An empty heart has no love for anything. Whatever the reason, I find myself asking the same haunting question, “Where are all the gym rats?”
