This was typed into our conference room during one of our classes tonight at MMP.  Since it was by our leader, Frank Terranova, we thought it would be nice to see it on our blog.

Little leaves fall softly down
Red and yellow, orange and brown
Whirling, twirling round and round
Falling softly to the ground

Little leaves fall softly down
To make a carpet on the ground.
Then, swish, the wind comes whistling by
And sends them dancing to the sky.

Frank is not saying who wrote it, since he is secretly watching Monday Night Football, but since he has the night off and is just in our conference room, I guess we can excuse that behavior.

Ok it was on You Tube.

Autumn Leaves

Message from the President of Mastermind Pros
Frank Terranova

Make Today What You Think
It Should Be

Did The title catch your attention?

Want to learn how?

Guess what?

Have you ever heard this before?

What you focus on… that’s what you will
get.

You already make every day exactly what you think it should be.
The only difference is that your level of expectation may be a tad bit
lower than it ought to be.
If you wake up, get out of bed and stub your toe on the bedpost you
might already be predisposed to thinking the day’s not going to be
that great. If you don’t do something to change that outlook you
probably won’t be disappointed.
On a day in and day out basis you get exactly what you expect out
of life. Not what you wish for, but exactly what you believe is going
to happen.
I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating; whatever you focus on
is exactly what you get. The problem is that most of us don’t spend
enough time focusing on the results we want and as such we end
up getting the things we don’t want because that’s what we’re
focused on.
So how do you make the important distinction in your focus and
make the change?

---

Start with something simple;
Write down those things that you want from life. This does not have
to be your giant elaborate list of goals, just the things you’d like to
have happen on a daily basis. It can be things that evolve around
your business or your personal life.

Things like;

• being happy,
• having a great day,
• being a good friend,
• being healthy.
• or in making a sale,
• being a great mentor,
• finding a new product or strategy.

Write these things down on a card and keep it with you all the time.
Review it in the morning and several times throughout the day.
Every time you feel yourself having negative focus, take out the
card and read it.

---

Life is meant to be lived, not survived! If you spend all of your time
focused on the way you don’t want things to turn out, you will miss
the fact that they are actually going the way you want them to.
know this sounds overly simple and quite frankly it is.

---

Get up tomorrow and decide that you are going to have a great day

Why? Because the little bad things that happen to all of us
over the course of a day don’t really add up to much of
anything in the middle of a really great day.
Just think about it.
Remember a day when something really good happened to
you and it seemed like everything was going your way? There
were probably some negative things going on at the same
time, but you just didn’t even notice because you were focused
on the great stuff!

---

So, my challenge to you… Decide what you want today to be
like and make today what you think it should be!

As a friend of
mine says, “If you think you can… or if you think you can’t …
guess what .. you’re right either way.” (Actually, that
is a Henry Ford quote that several successful
people use…)
I think you can.

AdlandPro has been around for quite some time, and it is still here, and it is still a viable source for making good contacts on the web. We are training on the ins and outs of AdlandPro now, and the main reason we are doing this is because you can have a nice social site that is free. You can interact with like minded individuals, too.

When you start your AdlandPro account you will want to make sure that you have a new email address for all the mail you are going to receive. Do not look at this as a bad thing because this is pure opportunity. People are contacting you now! That is really great. People who want to hear from you are writing to you. Isn’t that different? Sure most want to get you to buy something, but how many of them could use your product or service, too. How many of them might want to have some coaching online?

You are an affiliate of Mastermind Pros aren’t you? There is just so much you can do now on the internet that it is mind boggling. If you need some direction, then perhaps you want to try some of our classes, too.

If you are interested in where to start meeting people online and want to try some safe places, visit our site at Mastermind Pros. We have a great interactive helpful community. If you are ready to join a larger social site where you can meet thousands of people we recommend AdlandPro. We also recommend going Gold! The benefits are fantastic.

As the Vice President for Mastermind Pros in charge of Blogging and Social Networking, it is a privilege to be able to take time out of my day and have the freedom to post to a blog on behalf of others. While reading about the conditions that refugees face around the world it definitely increased our awareness at Mastermind Pros of how widespread the suffering is throughout the world.

Some of us might not be in a financial state to help anyone or organization with gifts of money, but we still can give our time by letting others know about these conditions. This is the purpose of Bloggers Unite. It seems every year people in regions of India are subject to flooding. Families are separated not by choice but because of a situation they have no control over. Do you know there are refugees from the war in Iran? Do you realize that most of these families in the countries that are either torn apart by wars or by natural disasters lose everything. The main concern they have is what happened to their missing family members.

Being the day before the Veteran’s Day celebrations in the United States, it brings home to those of us who were effected by family members being called to serve away from home in times of peace and in times of war. There are several graves for unknown soldiers. No, they were not refugees, but still people wonder what ever happened to those who were Missing In Action. Not ever soldier who goes to war returns to his family. Some people just seem to disappear, and it leaves a huge void.

What about the anguish of all the missing people who seem to disappear and are never heard from or seen again by family members?

Being separated from your family and not knowing if you will ever see them again has to be one of the largest heart breaks one would ever have to deal with. Now there are communities setting up services where people can try to contact each other. They can give family codes. Maybe this is a good time to reflect on what you would do if you were ever separated from your family. How would you contact each other? Maybe you should set up a code. Something you will never forget, so you can one day reunite.

To find out more about organizations who are doing great things to help refugees visit the Bloggers Unite website by using the banner on our site.

When we think of all the changes happening all over the world so fast, it is mind boggling to believe that so many people are still facing the horrors of being separated from the ones they love.
Several of us never have to face that, but to a certain extent we see it when our friends send their sons and daughters off to fight in wars in foreign lands. We see the lines of worry and concern on their faces when we ask how is Shaun doing, or how is Josiah, or Manny? Have you heard from them?

There lies the key. Even though several people we might know are off serving their country far away from home, we know where they are and why they are there. We pray for their safety and look forward to hearing that their parents have had a message from them.

It would be such a horrible experience to be separated from your loved ones with no hope of knowing where they are and what they are facing. Imagine never being able to see your child again. Most parents can not bear that thought. It is happening throughout the world even now. How can we put an end to this? Bloggers Unite has made a start by letting each of us have a say on our blogs. We must get our voices out to show we are concerned. That is a small start but it is a start.

With that in mind, Mastermind Pros, will continue to support Bloggers Unite in their causes to make the world a better place. They do not ask for much, just for some words to share. That is nothing, but perhaps this is the start to making the world a better place for everyone.

I am just amazed that it took so long to get this blog back on its feet. It has been a great learning experience though. Word Press has gone through so many upgrades lately that it makes it difficult to keep up sometime.

Now that the blog is back in working order we are looking forward to keeping it updated more often. Mastermind Pros is not sitting still. We have partnered with some good opportunities and we will be including them in this blog. Mastermind Pros does not fear the doom and gloom sayers. We do listen to what they are saying and find ways to move forward no matter what the economic future holds.

We have to maintain our Frank The Frog attitude and keep holding on. Do not let anyone steal your dreams.

Oh the fix for the blog was simple after weeks of trying this and trying that. It was reinstalling the template. Sometimes during an upgrade something might get a little dust on it.

If you have a hosted blog from wordpress.org, it is recommended to keep good backups of your files. Then keep backups of those somewhere in case your computer crashes.
