As I started to take steps to financial freedom, I realised that Malcolm Gladwells notion of the tipping point fits extremely well with Jeff Olsens concept of the slight edge.Gladwell introduces the idea of the tipping point with reference to social epidemics a good example being the way that news of the resurgence of US forces was passed around before the defeat of the British in the American War of Independence. A modern example might be a viral news story which finds its way around the world rapidly via the internet such as the moment captured on film when a whale crashed down on a private yacht off the coast of South Africa.The slight edge comes from combining a series of small regular steps into a momentum for change. A whole series of slight edge changes combine to create a tipping point and lasting change is assured.The notion of the tipping point is apparent everywhere the moment we start to look no more so than when a committed decision is made to achieve financial freedom. After a period of slight edge changes, someone reaches their own financial freedom tipping point and realizes that the goal is highly achievable and literally just around the corner.

In December 2005, I was fortunate to be able to attend a life-changing 3 day seminar in New Jersey, USA called Millionaire Mind Intensive. Two months earlier Id read T Harv Ekers bestselling book Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind and realized that Ekers approach provided the clearest route to financial freedom Id ever found. Today, I came across my notes from the seminar and want to share a few real gems with all coaches, trainers and therapists who are committed to taking bold steps to financial freedom.1.Your comfort zone is in direct proportion to your income zone the more you increase your comfort zone, the more you increase your income. Make a decision to achieve a challenging goal and dont leave the scene of the decision without taking at least one small step towards the realisation of your goal.2.Because your subconscious minds main job is protection and security, itd rather keep you where you are. When you say to yourself I know that, the mind shuts off. If you live it, you know it and this is the only way you know something for sure. Another key point I picked up is that its not what we dont know that keeps us from succeeding, but what we know that just isnt so. ...more
