Part of the BookWise benefit packages is the opportunity to learn from a couple of highly successful men, Richard Paul Evans and Robert Allen, the founders of BookWise. Not only are BookWise associates able to participate in weekly tele-conference calls on financial management, and strategies for achieving prosperity, but we also learn general life skills and how to build a successful BookWise business. I love the fact that I have earned a profit with BookWise every single month, but my favorite part of BookWise is how it can be such a life-changing experience beyond the financial aspects.
I learn a lot from Richard Paul Evans and Robert Allen, so I thought I would start sharing some of the specific things I’ve learned from them, with you my readers. No doubt you’ll recognize much of what they teach. That’s because they are universal success principles.
Even if you’ve heard them before it is always great to get a constant reminder of what you can do, right now, to change your life. I was reading Robert Allen’s book Start Your Day with Power1 and was thankful for the reminder to ask yourself the right questions. In this book, Robert outlines a detailed 7 minute process designed to prepare yourself for the day.
Buckminster Fuller said, “Any question you ask yourself, your mind must inevitably be compelled to answer.”
We are asking ourselves questions constantly. Are the questions you ask empowering? Thanks Robert for reminding me. This is what he wrote:
“People who fail, constantly ask themselves negative questions like, “Why can’t I succeed?” and “What’s wrong with me?” And their brain searches and finds negative answers. People who succeed focus on positive questions like, “How can I be more successful today?” And their brain searches and finds more positive answers. So, today, notice how you communicate with yourself. Ask yourself empowering questions like: What’s really important for me to accomplish today? How will I make this day more productive and fun than yesterday? Who can I enlist to help me make progress towards my goals? How will I eliminate the obstacles that stand in my way? What does the universe want me to learn today? How do I look, how do I sound, how do I feel when I know I’m destined to succeed?” These are empowering questions. You can make up your own empowering questions if you’d like. That’s the way you program your computer.”
What questions are you asking yourself? Formulate a better question to formulate a better life!
(I’ve had several people ask where they can get the book. You won’t find it at amazon.com. But is is available for free to BookWise associates as part of their benefits package. )

That was a great tip for me to read this morning. Right now I am going to go formulate a “good” question. It’s amazing how powerful our minds can be if we just tap into it.
