I want to tell you about a new book that I have the privilege to be a co-author in.
The book is titled "101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life: Volume 3", and it is a compilation of 101 articles with practical, solid advice on how you can finally take action and improve your life.
I am extremely excited to be a part of this, and am equally excited to be a contributing author along with Ken Blanchard, Les Brown, Mark Victor Hansen, Byron Katie and many other leading Self Improvement experts.
This book was created by David Riklan, the president and founder of the #1 Self Improvement website in the world, SelfGrowth.com. He tapped into the minds of the greatest experts of our time and pulled together something that will blow you away.
It's a complete collection of 101 insider secrets that can show you how to instantly and positively improve your life!
This book is the third volume in the "101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life" Series. For those of you that have not seen Volumes 1 & 2, David is also offering a special discount if you purchase the three volume set together.
Volumes 1& 2 include more great secrets from Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Jack Canfield, Dr. Richard Carlson and many other leading experts.
David has also bundled the book with life-enhancing tools! He calls them "bonus gifts," and he has created a package of $1,500 worth of absolutely free gifts that you get by purchasing just one copy of our book.
These bonus gifts aren't the typical items you may have seen in other campaigns. That I can guarantee!
Every single one of these gifts has enormous value and has been cleverly created to give you value beyond anything comprehensible.
David is so confident you will love it that he is backing it up with a completely solid guarantee.
Go there and take a look for yourself - and make sure you check out the bonuses. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw what he put together. You may want to be sitting down yourself, because it could knock you over...with joy!
Here's the link for you to go directly to his offer:
This year, in June, we (that's my family and I) will return to the Netherlands for 3.5 weeks. Not only are we going to catch up with family and friends and eat all the good Dutch food (pancakes, apple pie, fries with mayonnaise and satay sauce, and liquorice), there will also be business to be done!
I will be giving 2 workshops on the Law of Attraction (LOA), that much is for sure. I am so thrilled about that, as it is going to be my first "official" Dutch appearance! I'll combine the LOA with powerful NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and coaching techniques, so the days should be smashing fun. Also a good way to do some touching up on my Dutch :)
There is also a small and growing chance I will be giving a one or two day workshop in Sweden! That excites me maybe even more, as I have never been in Sverige before! I'll keep you all posted on the progress and the dates of the workshops.
I cannot wait!
Cheers,
Marc
Teleconference!
Hi, there!
Following an earlier announcement to everyone in my subscriber list, American Success Coach Scott Armstrong (www.bouldercoachingacademy.com) and I are now proud to say that we have our first Global Master Mind call booked!
We will be co-hosting the call at 7am Brisbane, Australia time (AEST) on the 7th of February 2007. This will be 2pm Denver, Colorado US time (MST) on the 6th of February and 9pm London, UK time (GMT) on the 6th of February. To make sure I got it right, or to find a different time zone, please check http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html.
Here are the call details:
Conference Dial-in Number: 001 1 (712) 580-6300
Participant Access Code: 126013#
The duration of the call will be 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the amount of questions & comments. The calls will be recorded.
In the first call, we will be discussing Goal Setting, and how to apply goal setting properly within the framework of The Law of Attraction. After the "technical part", we'll open the line up for questions and comments and we'll finish off with encouraging you to take major action!
As already alluded to, this will not be an open-to-everybody call; As these will be Global Master Mind calls we intend to limit the group to 10-15 people, to allow for maximum participation and effect.
It is for that reason that we would like to get a confirmation from you if you would like to be on the call! Let me know a.s.a.p., so that you will not miss out! Calls will be recorded, but being on them is far better than listening to them!
We look forward to having you with us! This is going to be a fantastic series, which is going to be hugely instrumental in you changing your life, or giving it a major kick forwards! Be there!
All the best!

E-book update
Hi there,
It's been a while since my last post. Christmas and New Year came up, and I had a couple of days off!
Now it's right back into the swing of things, and first item on the to-do list was to update my e-book;
That has been done! Edition 2, with more material and less typos (...) is available very soon. I am working on the cover still, but that should be done by the end of this week! I'll keep you posted. The book covers my experiences with the Law of Attraction, and how you can you use the same Law to create your own desired life.
Keep those New Year's Resolutions up, will you? If you are not able to, but do desire to change, you may want to give me a buzz and book in for a free phone or face-to-face session!
Talk to you soon, Marc
X-mas and New Year
Hi there,
It's the 27th of December today. After a stuffingly nice X-mas dinner and a great Boxing Day, it is time to prepare for the New Year. I recently emailed my e-zine "Getting More Out of Life" to my database, and thought it would be a good one to post on my blog as well.
Enjoy, and talk to you soon!

A Year's Gone Past
Alright, Christmas 2006 is coming up, the New Year is close by. Party time! Kids are home from school (in Queensland, Australia, where I am, we'll have our little girl home for 7 weeks!), the festivities are around the corner, and it is time to look back, and look forward.
What has happened for you this year? Did you set goals at the beginning of 2006, and if so, how much of them do you feel have you been able to tick off your list? And if you think you didn't set any goals at all, how do you feel you went in 2006? Was it alright? Did you have a good time? Or did you feel slightly directionless, slightly off-track?
Goals
Goals are funny things, really. The one person loves them, and cannot live life without a number of goals always on the go towards fulfilment; the other person hasn't got any affinity with goals and goal setting, and finds them either unnecessary, restricting, or just useless.
Personally, I think we get to hung up on the word "goal", and the meaning many people have assigned to it. I hear a lot of people speak about goals as if goals are these rigid, must-achieve, impossible to reach, frighteningly big monsters. If they actually get to the point that they set a goal, their own belief in the possible achievement is so immensely low, that the whole project of accomplishing the goals is doomed to fail. And all that based upon the meaning they have given to a simple word like "goals".
Many other people don't have as disempowering a vision about goal setting, but still feel that goals restrict their freedom, and that goals must be achieved fully in order to warrant a celebration.
Everything Is Goals
I personally believe that everything (and I mean everything) we do is goal oriented. Waking up and working your way through getting dressed, eating breakfast, and leaving for work is goal setting and achievement. Commuting to work is goal setting. buying your lunch is a goal. Coming back home at night is fulfilment of a goal. Eating dinner, brushing your teeth and going to bed is achievement of goals. The thing is: we usually just don't view them as such.
Human beings are naturally goal-oriented. We can not live without them. If you did not have a goal of providing your family with food and shelter, if you did not have a goal to look out for traffic when you cross a street, if you did not have a goal of bringing your kids up until they're old enough to fend for themselves, then our world would be one chaotic place.....
Goals come forth out of our desires. Desires and beliefs about desires are thoughts. Thoughts never cease to come up in our minds; we are though creating beings. Therefore desires never stop. Desires, wishes, new ideas will be born constantly. Just relax into that statement, and know that because of that, you will always have "goals", whether you want to call them goals or not. As soon as we realise that we constantly, incessantly, are achieving and working on achieving goals, life suddenly takes a whole different meaning.
Some people proclaim: I never reach my goals!!! Well, sorry, that is B.S., Belief Systems. You are constantly, incessantly reaching your goals, from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to bed. Even when you sleep you are achieving a goal, the goal of revitalising, reenergising.
You're A Success!
That's the thought I would like you take away and cherish this Christmas. Acknowledge that whatever you do, wherever you are, you are achieving goals on a continuing basis. You achieve one goal after the other. You are a success on many fronts. Knowing this can make you more appreciative of what you are doing with your life. Do not judge your life based upon the BIG goals you have set only. Do not beat yourself up for the couple of goals you consciously wanted to achieve, but didn't. Also take into account the smaller targets you hit, even when you have not consciously set out to hit them. Say "thank you" for those "subconscious" successes as well. You will engage the Law of Attraction when you do! The more you feel good about your present situation, the more things you will attract in your life that match the "feel good" vibration, which will leave you up with more results you can say "thank you" to.
Set a Landmarc
Firstly, acknowledge your consciously set goals, and observe how much of them you have been able to achieve this year.
Secondly, have a close look at the results you have booked throughout the year, but haven't been acknowledged at all. There are more than plenty of opportunities where you have been successful, without really noticing it.
Thirdly, Make a firm commitment to be more aware of little successes throughout 2007; the more you do, the more successes there will be to acknowledge! Trust me!
Lastly: have fun with it. Break free from the traditional "goal" definition, and from the meaning many people attach to the word "goal". Just see goals as intentions, towards the fulfilment of which you are working. If your intentions work out: Great! If they don't work out (completely): Great too! Then you have more desires and intentions to impress on the quantum soup! Keep at it, and it will be a success!
I look forward to setting some grand goals with you for the new year. I have, together with my friend and fellow coach Scott Armstrong, committed myself to make 2007 the grandest year ever, in many aspects. Why not do the same. Exceed your own expectations! Exceed everyone else's expectations too! You're worth it, and it is do-able. Just trust the always working, never failing Law of Attraction, and you'll ROCK!
The Science of Deliberate Creation
Hi,
Recently I have started listening to the latest audio of Esther & Jerry Hicks (You can know them from "The Secret"), called The Science of Deliberate Creation.
I must say, it is incredible material once again. Although the recordings date back to the mid-eighties of the last century, the subject is as fresh as ever.
The audios deal with the three major Laws that govern our earthly experience:
The Law of Attraction
The Law of Deliberate Creation
The Law of Allowing
These are the Laws I have been living my life through consciously for the last 10 years or so, and am still playing around with them to master them more completely.
If you are interested in learning more about these astoundingly simple and immensely powerful Laws, or in attracting a coach or mentor who works with them, give me a buzz or send me an email, and we'll have a chat about what application of these Laws can mean to your life, and how I can help you in becoming the conscious creator of your own life's experience!
