			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you&#8217;ve ever been in a situation where you caught yourself taking something <strong>personal</strong> but didn&#8217;t know how to shift your mindset (this can be true for many getting started as a<strong> network marketer</strong>), this <em>guide</em> is for you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/stop-taking-things-personal/taking_things_personal_stop_sign_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2359"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2359" title="Taking_things_personal_stop_sign_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Taking_things_personal_stop_sign_image-150x150.png" alt="Taking_things_personal_stop_sign_image" width="150" height="150" /></a><strong>After reading this guide I hope you will learn how to STOP it &#8211; how to stop taking things <em>personal</em>.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">When doing business as a <em>network marketer</em> it is inevitable to experience people sign up and then not long after they cancel their membership. Without say, there is a LOT I learned having gone through all that. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Now that I have the posture of an alpha, I created this guide with 3 things to keep in mind and help you learn how to stop taking things personal. If you choose to be affected by someone else&#8217;s opinion or action/inaction, life will be miserable and stressful. &#8216;Nuf said, let&#8217;s get into it&#8230;<br />
</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;">Here are 3 Things to Keep in Mind</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #000080;">to Stop Taking Things Personal</span></h3>
<h4><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>→<span style="color: #ff9900;"> It&#8217;s not all about you.</span></strong></span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8220;If he really likes me then why did he sign up with her and not me; I&#8217;ve answered every question they wanted to know about the company but they still chose not to sign up with me; they knew I prepared their favorite dish, I can&#8217;t believe they cancelled the presentation tonight on me; if he was truly honest he would&#8217;ve told me he wasn&#8217;t able to afford signing up for the monthly auto ship.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Did you notice a pattern in all these scenarios? The word &#8220;me&#8221;. Now, let&#8217;s look at some other pieces that will prove why this really isn&#8217;t all about you:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Mom has always been so loving and supportive&#8230; &#8220;isn&#8217;t that about me?&#8221;</span></strong></li>
<li><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">The cashier at the store smiled at you because she is having a really great day&#8230; &#8220;isn&#8217;t that about me?&#8221;<br />
</span></strong></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Your best friend always remembers your birthday&#8230; &#8220;isn&#8217;t that about me?&#8221;</strong> <a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/stop-taking-things-personal/gift_for_you_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2425"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2425" title="gift_for_you_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/gift_for_you_image-150x150.png" alt="gift_for_you_image" width="150" height="150" /></a><br />
</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">You might be saying &#8220;I see where you&#8217;re going with this, Jaclyn.&#8221; Excellent&#8230;you&#8217;re getting it! When someone says yes or no in signing up with you, or if they say/don&#8217;t say something about you, it&#8217;s about THEM, not you. You got it!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">So my good friend, my sister, my neighbor, and the lady I met at the dentist signed up and cancelled their membership because they didn&#8217;t care for the products, they signed up just to show me support, and they cancelled because they didn&#8217;t like the idea of autoship. <strong>It wasn&#8217;t because of me. It was because of them.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">You see? It isn&#8217;t <span style="text-decoration: underline;">personal</span> and it really isn&#8217;t all about you. I mean that in a good sense of course <img src='http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">From now on, when ever you catch yourself saying &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe they did that to me&#8221;, get conscious about the fact that you&#8217;re using &#8220;me&#8221; about some other person&#8217;s actions. </span></p>
<h4><br style="font-size: medium;" /> <strong><span style="font-size: medium;">→<span style="color: #ff9900;"> People are busy</span></span><span style="color: #ff9900;">.</span></strong></h4>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">What kind of activities, projects, tasks, events, parties, fundraisers, family time, volunteer assignments, webinars, personal commitments, etc. do you have going on in your calender for the next 7 days?</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/stop-taking-things-personal/busy_people_time_clock_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2421"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2421" title="busy_people_time_clock_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/busy_people_time_clock_image-150x150.png" alt="busy_people_time_clock_image" width="150" height="150" /></a>When Jane doesn&#8217;t show up to your presentation (yet again), think about what she might have going on instead of reacting resentful about it and taking it personal. Maybe she had a medical issue or family emergency. She probably forgot that she made another appointment at the same time of your presentation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Did that ever happen to you? OR, did you ever think, maybe, just maybe she just doesn&#8217;t have the time (or doesn&#8217;t wanna sacrifice one-hour) to listen to your presentation about vitamins because her family comes first and she needs to prepare dinner for them? Maybe she&#8217;s too embarrassed to tell you that she doesn&#8217;t care for your opportunity or products. (We as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">network marketers</span> have to be willing to go through some reality checks such as these.)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The rule of thumb is that each time you find yourself taking something personal, think of a positive possibility instead of a negative one pointing back to yourself. Doing <em>that</em> alone will change your emotions about the entire scenario.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Think about it. Don&#8217;t react to what other people are doing with their lives.</span></p>
<h4><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">→<span style="color: #ff9900;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> S</span>ome <span style="text-decoration: underline;">W</span>ill. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">S</span>ome <span style="text-decoration: underline;">W</span>on’t. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">S</span>o <span style="text-decoration: underline;">W</span>hat? <span style="text-decoration: underline;">S</span>omeone’s <span style="text-decoration: underline;">W</span>aiting</span></span></strong><span style="color: #ff9900;">.</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">(The 4 SW&#8217;s) There&#8217;s no law that says</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">everyone <span style="text-decoration: underline;">has to</span> love what you are about or like what you have to offer. No one is <em>required</em> to care about what you plan to contribute to the world.  <a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/stop-taking-things-personal/people_lining_up_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2464"><img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2464" title="people_lining_up_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/people_lining_up_image-150x142.png" alt="people_lining_up_image" width="150" height="142" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The good news is you <span style="text-decoration: underline;">will</span> have some people that care and love what you can teach them. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Some will</strong> love you for it, encourage &amp; support you, and will want more of what you suggest/recommend. <strong>Some won&#8217;t</strong>. Some will shrug their shoulders and say <strong>so what</strong>, &#8220;good luck&#8221;. And then there&#8217;s always that <strong>someone waiting</strong>&#8230;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Waiting for you to come and save them from drowning in their financial mess.  As a matter of fact there will be (if there isn&#8217;t one already) a line of people waiting and you&#8217;re gonna have to turn some of them away because of time limitations.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">(I talk about the 4-SW&#8217;s on one of my video posts titled <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/3-deadly-business-mistakes-to-avoid-and-easy-solutions" target="_blank">3 Deadly Business Mistakes to Avoid and Easy Solutions</a>)</strong></span></span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff9900;">General Thoughts on Taking Things Personal&#8230;</span><br />
</span></h3>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Realize that you don&#8217;t need anyone&#8217;s approval.</em> Just because someone is not happy with you doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you did something wrong. In majority of cases, it means that person isn&#8217;t happy with their life and expects to feel better by making you feel lower than they are. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Shift your focused attention.</em> Shift your attention from how you feel, to what kind of person you&#8217;re dealing with. Maybe they&#8217;re emotionally insecure, or they have poor communication skills, or maybe they&#8217;re just flat out mean (What kind of person are they, how do they generally treat others?)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Get enough shut eye and fuel your body with good food.</em> When you&#8217;re tired or hungry you tend to get more sensitive (aka cranky/on the edge). Self-explanatory right?!<br />
</span></li>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>Jim Rohn</em></span>, one of my favorite mentors of ALL time once said, “If you can’t change your friends, <em>change</em> your friends.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Over the weekend I watched <strong>Despicable Me</strong>…again. It was probably my 7<sup>th</sup> time watching it since it came out almost a year ago. (One of my favorite things to do is watch movies that make me cry or have happy endings.)<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In the movie, the criminal mastermind, Gru (voice of Steve Carell) had this plan since his childhood days to steal the moon. His mother (voice of Julie Andrews) continually discourages him since the day he shared the idea with her. Watch these 3 short clips before reading the rest of this post and watch what I&#8217;m talking about.<br />
</span></p>
<p>This first clip is the first time Gru shared the idea with his mom about stealing the moon. (18 seconds)</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VaLkDeu0CmY?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe></p>
<p>These are <strong>all</strong> the times he shared his dream with his mom. (24 seconds)</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/hqGEbF7Qyn4?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="480" height="360"></iframe></p>
<p>And this is when he is on the verge of creating that dream into reality. Notice how his mom was &#8220;congratulating&#8221; him for stealing the pyramid. She was actually being sarcastic because she just learned that Vector (Gru&#8217;s opponent/rival) accomplished a successful goal &#8211; stealing the pyramid from Egypt. (34 seconds)</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/y-GXeNzyw0w?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="640" height="360"></iframe><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">How sad was that!!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have people in your life (I’ll call them ‘friends’) that tell you “ehh”, “you can’t do it”, “it’s just not possible”, or “if it really works then why isn’t everyone rich or doing it?” I’ve got a news flash for you: There will always be people that want to bring you down, keep you down, blow you down, whatever you wanna call it, but it’s up to you to WANT it <em>more</em> than the average mindset.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8220;<em>Friends</em>&#8221; are more comfortable with staying where they are at. So, instead of rising above and beyond and getting uncomfortable going after <em>their</em> true goals it’s simpler for them say “give up and quit” or “it can’t be done” to your face. And instead of encouraging and inspiring you to aim for the target they ultimately break you down. <a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/change-your-friends/friends_break_you_down_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2182"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2182" title="friends_break_you_down_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/friends_break_you_down_image-300x204.png" alt="Friends_break_you_down_image" width="300" height="204" /></a><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">When you end up becoming big in life, it never fails in that the &#8220;friend&#8221; that couldn’t do it tries to drag you down with them. The reason they unplug<em></em> on your dreams and hopes is because they know the day you <em>make it to the top</em> is the day you figure out that <em>they</em> are the loser, and <em>you</em> are (and have always been) the warrior and winner.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Those kind of friends don’t do well with <strong>change</strong>. I know people whose dreams have been ripped apart because a &#8220;friend&#8221; believed they couldn’t make it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><em>Because</em> you are reading this post right now I KNOW what type of person you are. You <em>don’t</em> settle for less. You don’t want the status quo. You want the greater things in life. You are going somewhere, you are making things happen, and you’re going to get there &#8211; where ever that place is for you. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Jim Rohn</strong> set it best and I&#8221;ll say it again: &#8220;If you can&#8217;t change your friends, change your friends.&#8221; That quote right there says it all! (Read that again.)<a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/change-your-friends/target_friend_helping_image_" rel="attachment wp-att-2187"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2187" title="target_friend_helping_image_" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/target_friend_helping_image_-300x167.png" alt="Target_friend_helping_image" width="300" height="167" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Settling for less is not the answer. Going for what you’re after <em>is</em>. In the end, it will be you with a ton of friends that <em>want</em> to see success be a part of your life.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you let the opinion of those &#8220;friends&#8221; determine or influence your decisions, I promise you will go nowhere real fast. If they don’t have what you <em>want</em>, why would you care what they say or think? The solution for this problem is to associate yourself with like-minded people. People with the same goals, hopes, and lifestyle that YOU are after.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">If you have a hunger for a life that is filled with living your passion and has lots of room for freedom, there is a requirement: Action. Action to…</span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/change-your-friends/change_next_exit_sign_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2194"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2194" title="change_next_exit_sign_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/change_next_exit_sign_image-300x236.png" alt="Change_next_exit_sign_image" width="300" height="236" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Change your friends (who you closely associate yourself with)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Change your lifestyle (the way you live in your abilities, values, and standards)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Change the way you think (mindset/perspective/attitude)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Change your daily routines (add and remove the good and the ugly parts – eat healthier, move your body more, etc,…)<br />
</span></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Allowing other people (yes, that includes your mom and family and friends) to discourage you and shoot down your idea of living a life filled with choices means you are settling for less than you deserve. Instead of lowering your standards, my suggestion is to learn <em>how</em> to make the change that will drive you closer to your goal and then demand yourself to take action on accomplishing it. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">It&#8217;s simpler than you think. Here&#8217;s something I want you to think about and then go and make your change. &#8220;If you&#8217;re not at the level you want to be at, it&#8217;s wrong. If you&#8217;re not at the level you&#8217;re proud of, it&#8217;s wrong. Because you deserve to have it right, to be at the level you deserve. Living on the edge of what is possible. Living life at that level of fulfillment.&#8221; -Tony Robbins<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> This only happens when you start the change you want to live in. Whether that means you will need to <strong>change your friends</strong> is your call, your story.<br />
</span></p>

And I ALWAYS love hearing from you so please leave me your comments below and I&#8217;ll see you again real soon!<br />

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Does internet marketing present itself as overwhelming instead of rewarding for you? Oftentimes (especially for those just getting started) it makes you wanna pull your hair out! Maybe you know someone that describes themselves as constantly feeling a lot of <em>overwhelm</em> in their internet marketing adventure. Stick with me to answer 4 questions that&#8217;ll help <em></em>defeat this &#8220;side-effect&#8221; of <em>internet marketing overwhelm</em>.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Almost everyone that I&#8217;ve spoken to in the internet marketing industry has shared the same story with me over and over again. So, <em>know</em> that you are not the only one feeling this way. They shared why they are experiencing overwhelm. Here are the most common reasons:<br />
</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Don&#8217;t know which way to turn next</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Frustrated and confused who to listen to for advice</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Which marketing method to learn next</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Which specific marketing strategy to focus on<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">What courses/books to buy</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Who&#8217;s the best person to learn xyz strategy from</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8230;the list goes on, and on, and on.</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Absence of focus, inefficient, disorganized, paralyzed, unproductive, and indecisive are some of the results created from being overwhelmed. <a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/defeat-internet-marketing-overwhelm/overwhelmed_with_paper_stack_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2009"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2009 alignright" title="overwhelmed_with_paper_stack_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/overwhelmed_with_paper_stack_image-300x241.png" alt="Overwhelmed with paper stack image" width="300" height="241" /></a> This rinse and repeat cycle (which seems never-ending) is the perfect formula for zero progress. At the end of the day, this only <em>adds</em> to the overwhelm.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">When I first got started in 2009 <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a title="Jaclyn's Story" href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/about-jaclyn" target="_blank">(read my story here)</a></strong></span> I was so excited and enthusiastic to learn it ALL. The choices and opportunities seemed endless:</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a title="Video marketing blog post: Step-by-Step CamStudio Installation (Free Video Screen Capture software)" href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/camstudio-installation" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: medium;">Video marketing</span></a></strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Blogging</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">SEO (Search Engine Optimization)<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">PPC (pay per click marketing)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Article marketing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Phone recruiting<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Post cards</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Banner ads</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Social media marketing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Forum marketing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Recommended courses</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Live events</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Networking</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8230;and tons more!</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Speaking from experience I can say that it&#8217;s so easy to get caught up trying to do everything, be everything, learn everything, or in some cases even <em>be</em> like someone else (what was I thinking!). When you walk towards that direction, you lose sight of discovering what your point of focus truly is.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">We are unclear about what we wanna focus on <em>(most especially</em> when getting started in internet marketing) so we tend to over-commit to all the different moving parts of the game.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Now, let&#8217;s go over the 4 questions to help defeat and identify why you are experiencing overwhelm in internet marketing.  I wanna get you <em>out</em> of the box of frustration, overwhelm, and stuck!<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/defeat-internet-marketing-overwhelm/little_man_with_box_and_question_mark_image" rel="attachment wp-att-2102"><img class="size-full wp-image-2102 aligncenter" title="Little_man_with_box_and_question_mark_image" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/little_man_with_box_and_question_mark_image.png" alt="Little_man_with_box_and_question_mark_image" width="303" height="306" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: #339966;">Defeat Internet Marketing Overwhelm with These 4 Questions</span></strong><br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">First, grab a sheet of paper and list down everything in internet marketing that you are currently involved in (marketing methods/strategies, businesses, business ideas, etc). Next, circle or put a check mark those on the list that are making you money. </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">1. Which</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> one on this list has the BIGGEST long term potential to make you an income?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">2. Out of everything on this list, which business, method, or idea drives the most <em>passion</em> out of you?</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">3. If you focused 100% on just ONE business or marketing method, how many weeks or months do you figure it would take you to get really well at it? </span></strong></p>
<p><span><strong></strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Consider all of  the traffic generation strategies out there and then identify which one you are going to be exclusive to. Dedicate yourself to learning everything there is to know about it.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>4. What traffic generation strategy will you commit to?</strong> Write that specific strategy down.</span><br />
</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium; color: #339966;">Other tips to defeat internet marketing overwhelm:</span></h2>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Stick to the money-making strategy for a minimum of 6 months before moving on to learning a new strategy or business idea.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Unsubscribe from all emails that have nothing to do with your marketing strategy. Go to my post <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a title="Command Your Inbox Down to Zero blog post" href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/inbox-to-zero" target="_blank">Command Your Inbox Down to Zero</a></strong></span> to help you get started with organizing the clutter in your email inbox.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Avoid bouncing from one marketing strategy to the next.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">ONLY buy products related or are aligned with the marketing strategy you committed to getting good at</span>!</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Okay, now that you&#8217;ve answered these 4 questions I sincerely believe you&#8217;ve just defeated the <em>overwhelm</em> in <em>internet marketing</em>. Pick <strong>ONE</strong> specific thing you&#8217;re committed to doing that you <em>know</em> will enjoy teaching other people. Notice I didn&#8217;t say &#8220;pick one thing you are <em>interested</em> in doing&#8230;&#8221; In this <em>internet marketing</em> game you&#8217;ve got to make a decision and <strong>commit to it</strong>.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Okay, so today we&#8217;re going to learn some basic settings for CamStudio. After reading this post you&#8217;ll be ready to start recording your screen.  I promise it&#8217;s nothing over the top, just the most basic settings for CamStudio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">And go to my previous post &#8211; <a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/camstudio-installation" target="_blank">Step-by-Step CamStudio Installation (Free Video Screen Capture software)</a> to learn how to install CamStudio.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">First thing to do is open up CamStudio. You will find it wherever you saved it when you installed it. At the time of writing this post the interface of the newest version looks like this:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/basic_settings_1" rel="attachment wp-att-1705"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1705" title="CamStudio basic_settings_image 1" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/basic_settings_1-266x300.png" alt="CamStudio basic_settings_image 1" width="266" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Let&#8217;s go through each of the settings step-by-step on the menu bar. The first one is the FILE menu and it&#8217;s the most self-explanatory one of all. &#8220;Record&#8221; is to start recording, &#8220;Pause&#8221; is to pause your recording, &#8220;Stop&#8221; is to stop your recording, and &#8220;Exit&#8221; is to exit CamStudio.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_settings_2_" rel="attachment wp-att-1709"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1709 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 2" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Camstudio_settings_2_-267x300.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 2" width="267" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The next part of the menu bar is the REGION menu. Before you start recording you will need to decide on the type of region you want to record on your screen. There are four region options (&#8220;Region&#8221;, &#8220;Fixed Region&#8221;, &#8220;Window&#8221;, and &#8220;Full Screen&#8221;)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Region &#8211; Select any portion of the screen or the entire desktop for recording. For example, if you only want to record the top upper-left of your computer screen you can set it to record only that part. (Note: Go to Options on the menu bar and be sure that &#8220;Enable Autopan&#8221; is UNchecked. You will learn what the &#8220;Autopan&#8221; feature is for down below in this post.)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Fixed Region &#8211; This basically works the same way as &#8220;Region&#8221; except you can preset the the size of the area you want to record. Set the width and height. If you want to enable the autopan feature, go to Options on the menu bar and check &#8220;Enable Autopan&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Window &#8211; To record only what is inside of a window on a page, select&#8221;Window&#8221;. For example, if you are on a webpage and you don&#8217;t want the menu options (the top part of the webpage) to be a part of your recording, or if you are on a word document but don&#8217;t want the menu options of the word doc to be recorded (you only want the actual word doc page), select this region option.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Full Screen &#8211; This is straight forward. If you want to record the entire screen, from corner to corner choose this.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_settings_image_3_" rel="attachment wp-att-1717"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1717 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_3" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Camstudio_settings_image_3_-264x300.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_3" width="264" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">On to OPTIONS, &#8220;Video Options&#8230;&#8221; (first image below). In this section you will need to install CamStudio Lossless Codec v1.5 (or whatever the latest version is -at the time of writing this post the version is v1.5).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">The codec is an audio compression program that compresses the audio portion of your video into a smaller size so it doesn&#8217;t create a large movie file. Go to<a href="http://camstudio.org/blog/camstudio-lossless-codec-v14-released" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/camstudio.org/blog/camstudio-lossless-codec-v14-released?referer=');"> http://camstudio.org/blog/camstudio-lossless-codec-v14-released</a> to install the Camstudio Lossless Codec. Scroll down the page until you see CamStudio 1.4 Codec &#8211; EXE Installer.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">After you click on that, click &#8220;Save File&#8221; and then follow through until you see the &#8220;Finish&#8221; portion of the install. ====(It&#8217;s a similar install process as the the install for CamStudio itself if you remember.) Go back to the previous post here to see the install process.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">==== On the second image below it shows that I set the Compressor to &#8220;CamStudio Lossless Codec v1.5&#8243;. Note that by default (that means if you do not have the codec installed) you will see the settings on &#8220;Microsoft Video 1&#8243;.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Once you install the codec, you will have it as an option on the drop-down menu just as you see in the second image right below here. Staying with the second image, notice the settings as the following numbers:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Set Key Frames Every 200 Frames Capture Frames Every 5 milliseconds Playback rate 200 frames/second</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_image_4" rel="attachment wp-att-1746"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1746" title="camstudio_basic_settings_image_4" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/camstudio_basic_settings_image_4-277x300.png" alt="camstudio_basic_settings_image_4" width="277" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_5-2" rel="attachment wp-att-1748"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1748" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 5" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/Camstudio_basic_settings_51-300x290.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 5" width="300" height="290" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Next we&#8217;ll look at cursor options. Go to OPTIONS &gt; &#8220;Cursor Options&#8221; (see first image below). Play around with the settings here. Have fun! It&#8217;s straight forward and clear. One thing you must do in order to select the cursor shape and color is to tick the box that says &#8220;Highlight Cursor&#8221;. (See second image below.)</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_6" rel="attachment wp-att-1787"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1787" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 6" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_6-254x300.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 6" width="254" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_7_" rel="attachment wp-att-1788"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1788" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 7" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_7_-278x300.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 7" width="278" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Let&#8217;s go to OPTIONS &gt; &#8220;Audio Options&#8221;.  Whether you plan on recording the audio portion of your videos via microphone or through the audio speakers of your computer, here is where you go to make adjustments on those options.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">An &#8220;Audio Options for Microphone/Speakers&#8221; will pop up. Make your audio adjustments there. (I personally use and recommend recording your screen capture videos with a microphone. It produces for better clarity on the audio. I bought a Platronics Audio 626 DSP headset with mic that was inexpensive &#8211; around $30.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_image-8" rel="attachment wp-att-1803"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1803 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 8" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_image-8-300x189.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 8" width="300" height="189" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">When you need to record ONLY the screen (no audio), select &#8220;Do not record audio&#8221; under OPTIONS. This means that you will not be recording the sounds in your surroundings (people talking, music in the background, etc. ONLY the screen will be recorded).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">To record what you are saying through your microphone, select &#8220;Record audio from microphone&#8221;. If you want to record sounds coming from your speakers, choose &#8220;Record audio from speakers&#8221; found under OPTIONS.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_image_9" rel="attachment wp-att-1806"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1806 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_9" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_image_9-278x300.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_9" width="278" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">There is a feature called &#8220;Autopan&#8221; which enables you to record wherever your mouse cursor moves. Some people find this feature irritating since the screen being recorded moves anywhere the mouse cursor moves.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_image_10" rel="attachment wp-att-1815"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1815 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_10" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_image_10-278x300.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 10" width="278" height="300" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Staying with the OPTIONS menu, slide down to &#8220;Program Options&#8221; and you will see the first that the first 3 options are as follows:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Minimize program on start recording &#8211; Selecting this means that when you start your recording, the CamStudio interface will hide. If you do not select this, the entire interface will be displayed on your screen and will be part of what&#8217;s being recorded. You decide if you want to choose the interface to be displayed or not.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Hide flashing rectangle during recording &#8211; When you hit the record button, you will have the option to see a flashing rectangle around what is being recorded. This rectangle is a guide of what&#8217;s being recorded on your screen. Do not select this if you do not want it to show.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Save settings on exit &#8211; When you make a change on the settings, you can have those settings saved if you select this option.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_image_11" rel="attachment wp-att-1824"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1824 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_11" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_image_11-300x239.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_11" width="300" height="239" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">You can view the interface as &#8220;NormalView&#8221;, &#8220;Compact View&#8221;, or &#8220;Buttons View&#8221; under the VIEW menu. OR you can simply click on the toggle button (see the icon circled in the image below).</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_image_12" rel="attachment wp-att-1835"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1835 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_12" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_image_12-300x281.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 12" width="300" height="281" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">And of course, if you need any help with using CamStudio, go the the HELP menu and you will see that you can visit the &#8220;CamStudio Homepage&#8221;, &#8220;CamStudio Blog&#8221;, or go to the &#8220;CamStudio FAQ&#8221;.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/basic-settings-for-camstudio/camstudio_basic_settings_image_13" rel="attachment wp-att-1842"><img class="size-medium wp-image-1842 aligncenter" title="Camstudio_basic_settings_image_13" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Camstudio_basic_settings_image_13-300x235.png" alt="Camstudio_basic_settings_image 13" width="300" height="235" /></a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Alrighty, that&#8217;s it! I hope you learned some basic settings for CamStudio. Time to set yours up and start recording. If you still need your questions answered I always read my comments so go ahead and leave them in the comment box below.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Leave me a comment about what you think of CamStudio.  If you have any questions contact me in the contact form tab up at the top of this page. For those of you who have tried to contact me via that form recently, it&#8217;s  working now <img src='http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Again, this is great for those just starting out with video marketing. The  screen capture software </span><span style="font-size: medium;">highly recommended in the online marketing industry is Camtasia, which costs around $299. </span><span style="font-size: medium;"> Send your friends over here so they can install CamStudio for free and they can start recording their tutorials!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Of course, I always appreciate you spreading the word. The Facebook and Twitter share buttons are right at the top of this post.</span> <span style="font-size: medium;">I look forward to learning from <em>you</em> on your screen capture tutorials! </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">I made this video to help you get your <em>inbox </em>down to <em>zero</em>.<br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Be honest with yourself. Do you ever get lost and overwhelmed just by logging in to your email account? I know exactly how you feel so I decided to show you how I keep my <em>inbox </em>clear and down to <em>zero </em>so that you can be more productive in your workday.<br />
	</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br />
	Click play below to learn how to command your <em>inbox </em>down to <em>zero</em>.<br />
	</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object height="360" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZeF6Ej7StN0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ZeF6Ej7StN0?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480"></embed></object></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">So, scoot on over to your email account and implement what you learned here. I warn you though: When you get your <em>inbox </em>down to <em>zero</em>, you may have a strange feeling come over you just seeing that there is <em>zero</em> emails. I can&#39;t explain it exactly. But I know that when I first implemented this and saw my <em>inbox</em> down at <em>zero</em> it felt strange yet amazing at the same time. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;">Leave me a comment below. Would love to know if you have done this before or if you plan on taking action on getting your <em>inbox</em> down to <em>zero</em>. Also, share this post if you found it helpful by clicking on the facebook, twitter, or other social media icons at the top. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br />
	Here&#39;s to your <em>zero inbox</em>!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just recorded a quick 4 minute video of how to create a <em>Facebook event</em>. If you already know how to create a <em>Facebook event</em> I just saved you some time - all you have to do is pass this quick tutorial along to your teammates and followers, no need to re-record the whole tutorial <img src='http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Turn up your speakers up. (I had the urge to record this tutorial when my family was asleep).</p>
<p>Click the play button below to learn and then pass this tutorial along to your friends&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ijmW1IyLjG8?rel=0" frameborder="0" width="480" height="360"></iframe></p>
<p>Something important I didn&#8217;t mention about Facebook events (at least at the time I am writing this post) is they do not have an option for us to set our event times for a specific time zone, which I hope they add real soon because this usually creates confusion for people you are inviting to your event. What I do is I list (inside of the description of the event) the different time zones that my event is taking place. And I list these time zones at the very top of my description so people can see it right off the bat. So it looks something like this&#8230;</p>
<p>PST &#8211; Tuesday, September 20 @7pm<br />
EST &#8211; Tuesday, September 20 @10pm<br />
Guam &#8211; Wednesday, September 21 @12pm<br />
Australia &#8211; Wednesday, September 21 @12pm</p>
<p><em>Facebook events</em> is one of the ways I invite people to webinars that I am hosting. What do you use <em>Facebook events</em> for?</p>
<p>You can thank me for saving you some time by sharing this with your friends. I love social sharing! Also would love to know what you got out of this <em>Facebook vent</em> tutorial. Hit the facebook and tweet buttons to share this and leave me a comment below.</p>

<p>Who <em>doesn&#8217;t want </em>to have some sort of maximum leverage in their life or business, <strong>and </strong>partner up with Daegan Smith?</p>
<p>I just uploaded a video to youtube because I wanted to share with the world what my biggest breakthrough has been from the last 12 months (and because of this <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://daegansmith.infusionsoft.com/go/mlsv/jaclynca/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/daegansmith.infusionsoft.com/go/mlsv/jaclynca/?referer=');">Maximum Leverage</a></strong></span>, Daegan Smith contest <img src='http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> . It obviously involves video so here I am making this post to share with you my biggest breakthrough discovery.</p>
<p>Click play on the video below.</p>
<p><object width="480" height="390" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5d7RYWh-jHA?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="480" height="390" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5d7RYWh-jHA?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowFullScreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" /></object></p>
<p>So it&#8217;s out of the bag.</p>
<p>My biggest breakthrough is discovering personal development and adding it into my life. It has allowed me to shift my thoughts and my energy into a more positive zone, which is being more <em>productive </em>and <em>proactive.</em> Instead of constantly wasting time, experiencing negative emotions, and  having reactions that typically turn people into fans of the blame game and infecting themselves with the unfortunate finger pointing syndrome, I choose to plug more value into <em>Me</em>.</p>
<p>The best part about being on the path of personal development has to be this&#8230;</p>
<p>Those that I have guided need NOT my diection or comfort any longer.</p>
<p>When I sleep at night I know that I&#8217;ve nurtured others and they are <em>where </em>they wanna be in their lives. Now, tell me that&#8217;s <em>not</em> fulfilment!</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s it, per<em>sonal development</em> has amplified my outlook in my life and my business. It has definitely been my biggest <em>breakthrough </em>yet! Thanks so much Daegan for having me reflect on what my biggest <em>breakthrough </em>has been from the last 12 months of my life.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><a href="https://daegansmith.infusionsoft.com/go/mlsv/jaclynca/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/daegansmith.infusionsoft.com/go/mlsv/jaclynca/?referer=');">Let&#8217;s take a peek at Maximum Leverage together</a></strong></span>. Because &#8221;l<em>et&#8217;s</em>&#8221; is more powerful than going solo.</p>
<p>If you found this video helpful and you <em>know </em>that it can help your friends or team mates OR you want to help support me by spreading the word about my biggest breakthrough, just go to the Facebook or Twitter buttons up above. And of course, I always appreciate the social support &amp; love <img src='http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> .</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to Bigger &amp; Better Breakthroughs,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/scarcity_versus_abundance_-_Gold_fish.png"><img alt="Gold Fish" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1200" height="199" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/scarcity_versus_abundance_-_Gold_fish-300x199.png" title="scarcity_versus_abundance_-_Gold_fish" width="300" /></a></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">What do you think is the #1 way to be <strong>successful </strong>in your life and in business, and what does <strong>scarcity </strong>and <strong>abundance </strong>have to do with any of that?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">&quot;There&#39;s not enough, more is better, that&#39;s just the way things are&quot;, (do nothing else but complain instead of finding ways to&nbsp; make things better and improve the situation) = <strong>Scarcity</strong>. Constantly watching the news and is easily influenced by &quot;the sky is falling mentality&quot;. = <strong>Scarcity</strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Expects the government to take care of them, loves to play the role of the victim, keeps helpful secrets to themselves (because they only want the <strong>success</strong> to go to them and nobody else), is creative at finding ways to&nbsp; bring people to court, constantly cutting out coupons to save cash instead of finding ways to actually <em>make more money</em>, feel entitled to get paid more than anyone else because they earned a college degree, gossiping and always find things to bash their &quot;competition to feel better about themselves&quot; = <strong>Scarcity</strong>!</span></p>
<h3>Scarcity</h3>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Coming from a place of <strong>Scarcity </strong>ruins not only the way you see things, but also destroys the way you view your life, as well as disfigures HOW you accept the parts of your life that are not in your favor. Seriously, this is not a healthy way to&nbsp;think as I&#39;m sure you would agree. If you are going through a chapter in your life where you can afford to add more abundance in your life, go and check out my previous post <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/positive-mental-attitude-to-succeed-in-your-life" title="How a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) Will Help You to Succeed in Your Life">here</a></span></strong>.</span> <span style="font-size: small;">Now there is the exact opposite of that&#8230;</span></p>
<h3>Abundance</h3>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">What is the big deal with abundance? Thinking in the form of <strong>abundance </strong>is the difference between those who are <strong>successful </strong>and those who are not <strong>successful</strong>. Simple and self-explanatory. &#39;Nuff said.</span> <span style="font-size: small;">Those who choose to think with <strong>abundance </strong>are completely fine and even&nbsp;<em>willing </em>to give their little known&nbsp;secrets away because they they are fully aware there&#39;s always gonna be more secrets in the making.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">They give compliments instead of battle with wordy bashes when they receive negative remarks from their competition.</span> <span style="font-size: small;">If&nbsp;something bad happens to them they make fun out of it (probably will post about it on Facebook). Abundance people never watch the news, don&#39;t whine or complain, does not react but stays <em>proactive</em> instead. And if opportunities close they know another door will open up for them. OF COURSE, they hang out with people <em>just like them.</em></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Click play below to watch a 3 minute video I made for you about <strong>scarcity </strong>versus <strong>abundance</strong>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object height="405" width="500"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QZsWQpNeQec?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="405" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QZsWQpNeQec?version=3&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500"></embed></object></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">So, what do you think? Are you someone that chooses to live with <strong>abundance </strong>in your life? Who do you know comes from a place of <strong>scarcity</strong>? And what kind of life do <em>they </em>have versus a another person&#39;s&nbsp;life that is full of <strong>abundance</strong>? Are they less or more <strong>successful</strong>?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">If you feel this post will impact others, please hit the <em>Facebook </em>and <em>Twitter</em> buttons and spread the message. I always appreciate your support and social love!</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Here&#39;s to Your Abundance,</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no doubt that&nbsp;for those who hold a&nbsp;<strong>positive mental&nbsp;attitude (PMA) </strong>it creates an environment of favorable opportunities. Having a <em>positive mental attitude</em> makes what&nbsp;is seemingly impossible for others (specifically those who are not positive, enter: negative people) present their life&nbsp;almost as if it were&nbsp;a&nbsp;painless and smooth ride.</p>
<p>The <em>attitudes </em>we give out to others on a daily basis determines what we get back from them as I&#39;m sure you would agree. Depending on what how we choose to handle situations and how we perceive events will determine whether or not we will succeed in life (more or less).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/full_empty_cup_image.png"><img alt="Cup half full and half empty image" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1539" height="150" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/full_empty_cup_image-150x150.png" title="full_empty_cup_image" width="150" /></a></p>
<p>So, it makes sense then that if we opt for poor and negative behavior as opposed to a owning a positive mental attitude, we&#39;re pretty much guaranteed to capture the same sort of crappy opinions and perspectives from the people and events around us. It&#39;s NOT&nbsp;rocket science.</p>
<p>Watch&nbsp;the video below&nbsp;to learn why&nbsp;owning a <strong>positive mental attitude</strong> will help you to <strong><em>succeed in your life</em></strong>.</p>

<h1>Positive Mental Attitude (PMA)</h1>
<p>It is obvious that we&nbsp;will be much happier, get more&nbsp;things accomplished,&nbsp;climb over struggles quicker, and be more fulfilled when we do things in our life in the most <em>positive </em>manner possible.</p>
<h2>Succeed in Your Life</h2>
<p>Now,&nbsp;since we are more&nbsp;awakened that adopting&nbsp;this great&nbsp;attitude will create&nbsp;further success in our business, health, relationships (and more in life), I&#39;d love to know your thoughts, feedback, and questions. Also, if you&nbsp;enjoyed this video teaching today, go and share&nbsp;it with your friends and followers by using the buttons at the top! Thanks so much and I&rsquo;ll speak with you again real soon&hellip; Sending <em>Positive </em>Thoughts Your Way, <a href="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/jaclyncastrosig.png"><img alt="" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-722" height="74" src="http://www.jaclyncastro.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/jaclyncastrosig.png" title="jaclyncastrosig" width="239" /></a></p>
