Highlights from Alf Orpen's Introduction

Summary of Alf Orpen's Introduction, from the North American Conference.

First, we must acknowledge on a deep level the whole picture. We need to see who we are and what we are about. We start from where we are -- it's not about someone else... It's about YOU!
Environment:
50-100 species are going extinct daily. One year of gas used by humans took 1 million years to create. 77,000 acres of forest are being torn down every year...

The POWER to change this situation comes from business. The definition of enterprise is 'life force'. There are infinite possibilities -- it's not about 'sustainability' but having organic and natural balance in abundance and prosperity; anything is possible and it is. The future begins today, now and every day it begins today.

5 Fundamentals for Growing Your Business:

1. begin with clarity; WHY? What do you want to do with it? How much is enough -- what do you want your life to look like? What do you want the world to look like?Clarifying what you want eliminates stress in one's life. Being deligent and working with your goals in mind and with a plan of how to get there is the best way to proceed.

2. intend it to be - we create the path and our future; INTENSION has an infinite organizing power and creates momentum. We are here to give and receiving is part of it too, just as important. Intention becomes evident in reality ~ it always materializes.

3. strategy and budget -- design it for yourself since this is not a cookie cutter; plan with what you can and only what you can afford. We have both Time and Money, so the key is to use what you have CONSISTENTLY EVERY MONTH.

4. be patient. takes 3-5 years to have lemons from the tree. Don't get caught up with challenges, move around them -- be pro-active. You have the power to achieve something positive with effort and patience.

5. abandon the 'human calculator' ~ 1+1 not necessarily equaling 2; in nature, 1+1 can equal much more!! multiplies. let go of what you expect and you will benefit.

Other suggestions from the session:

-- assign top priority to relationships -- "this is what I'm doing, do you want to come along?"
-- cultivate transparency - be clear, don't hide, share!!
-- develop your own FAQ sheets, because everyone asks similar questions
-- be a problem solver ~ ways to decrease synthetic chemical exposure; beautiful personal care tips, etc.
-- "few people realize how much how little will do" ~ for example, the smallest particle creates the biggest "bang" in reality -- the atom. Focus on smallest things to get the biggest results. Repeat what you focus on - your niche - and you can get a big result.
-- to be happy ~ health, wealth and good relationships.
