How Can I Soar with the Eagles when I am Surrounded by Chickens?

Soar with Eagles

Roost with Chickens

When my clients, people just like you, start working with me to gain the objectives of improving their life, one of the first things I ask is, “How many people have direct influence over your life, such as your spouse, children, friends, relatives, etc.?” This lays down a specific directive for my client to assess.

Why should you care? These are the same people that have been influencing you throughout your life. How do you think they will react to you making significant change in your life without consulting with them first? Some will think you are leaving the fold. Others will take steps to put you back into ‘your box’, so they do not need to make changes in their expectations of you.

The Path of Self-Improvement

When you first start on the path of #SelfImprovement, you will usually start alone; and most likely you will continue to walk this path alone. Self improvement is a very personal experience. Have you ever wondered why? I don’t often refer to songs, but there is one song that should be your mantra when you set out on the path of self improvement. The song is, “I Walk Alone” by Green Day. The lyrics fit the circumstances perfectly.

Once you really get moving along your path of #Change, you will become excited with your progress. Of course you will feel inclined, even passionate, to tell other people. This new way you have adopted is making you feel great! So, should you suggest to your partner that he or she should be making changes likewise; maybe similar changes to the ones you have made?

Just because you are making positive changes in your life does not mean that anyone else wants to. Most likely other people will consider in an insult if you suggest that they follow a similar course of action. Some #People believe you think less of them if they choose not to do what you are suggesting.

An Example of wanting to Help People:

I am blessed with accumulating a tremendous amount of valuable information. Recently, I had the opportunity to help a friend that has a progressive cancer. He has everything and everyone to live for. He has a worthwhile life – better than most people. Without him asking, I provided him with some specialized information, so that he has options to live longer and healthier. I gave him this information without expectation that he would ever read it, or do anything about it. When I gave it to him, I even told him that, “I did not expect him to do anything with it. But it was there for him if he chose to.”

It is unfortunate that he has chosen not to get around to it. It saddens me. But that is just how people are…

People don’t change People,

Crisis Changes People

Moral Support vs. Standing Alone

If you get moral support from those around you, feel blessed. Most people must walk their path lonely, and without support. Once in a while you may meet someone that is on a similar path as you; a kindred spirit. This is the Law of Attraction at work. Often these are the best people to be co-supportive with. Look for these people to appear. It is nice to find a friend while traversing adversity.

You may think my choice of the word “adversity” may be a negative way of thinking about doing something positive for yourself. Please take a moment to think about why we are driven to improve ourselves to begin with. Our dissatisfaction in ourselves is the reason why we pursue self improvement in our life. If we were not dissatisfied, there would be no reason to do anything in that direction. There are 2 specific rules here:

The need to change is greater than the burden to stay the same

And

The only constant in life is CHANGE

But you already know that people do not like change and resist it. It is in our nature. The “adversity” comes from the internal battle of contradiction.

Change is Inevitable

Benefit of Change

There is Benefit for you when you do things of your own accord, and without the coddling support you may wish you had. When you take on the risk, and potentials of both failure and success, it gives you a great sense of self-worth and feeling of accomplishment when you succeed. In reality, when you take on the risk for yourself, you will always put more effort into achieving success. Thus you are more likely to succeed. You are now confident to move forward and take more steps along your path.

On the other hand, if you are hand-fed and coddled through the experience, you will not have the opportunity to gain that sense of accomplishment; your reward for facing the struggle.

Recommendations:

My recommendations for you, is to understand the pitfalls and proceed with “eyes wide open”. At least this way you will not be deterred from your path when the wolves are snapping at you. At times you may even feel that you have made a mistake by wanting to improve yourself. That is just your old resistance coming to the forefront. Your biggest battles for self-improvement will be waged within first. Once you overcome those battles and your older self, nothing can stand in your way to ultimate success.

Good Luck. The road of self-improvement is a rocky one. Prepare yourself accordingly.

Self-Improvement and Change for People

Get Good Grades with Mental Photography For Students

Shannon Panzo 4 comments

Mental Photography for students, “ZOXing”, students of all ages who uses this will benefit through the increase in brain power. Your subconscious mind is the “doer” – so you have to put it to work to excel and make your life more enjoyable. You just need a tool to clear your mind to focus on your goal.

Supercharge Your Brain with Mental Photography!

How Long We Study Has Nothing To Do With It

As students, we are told that if we get good grades, then the good life will follow. We are told that to achieve good grades, we should study 2 – 3 hours for every hour we spend in class.

However, what if we could get even better grades, with less study time? What if you cut your study time down to a mere fraction of how to use mental photography and what is required by using Mental Photography for students?

Mental Photography for Students can make students “learn” naturally

Did you realize that our mind is capable of assimilating information at gigahertz range like computers? Imagine processing information that quickly – well, we can but, right now, there is still something getting in the way of our ‘learning’. Reading is the blockage as it constricts the flow of information to our brain thus weakens our capability to use Mental Photography.

Is a Formal Education Counter Intuitive To a Photographic Memory

In school, reading works for more than half of the children, and as a result our educators feel that they are doing a good job. However, what about the other half (or slightly less) of our student population – how do they cope with learning?

For many students, the education process and study is seen as an impediment to their social life and having fun. How sad is that? Most students don’t see learning as fun?

At school we are taught to read instead of enhancing our Mental Photography (our NATURAL Eidetic Memory). Our students are taught to study longer and harder, to get good grades.

Mental Photography for Students

You can start using your natural abilities, abilities that you are born with, to increase your brain power to Super-Excel at whatever you desire like the abilities you are born with. As you are born with these abilities, you will never lose them. one of these abilities is our Mental Photography ability.

Unfortunately, when you went to school, instead of allowing you to learn as you had always learned everything so effectively, you were taught to read. More sadly, educators convinced you that your Photographic Memory (Mental Photography ability)was an ‘old childish way of learning’ and you needed to let it go.

You can reactivate (or regain access to) your Photographic (or Eidetic) memory. Actually, your photographic memory is still active – you’ve just forgotten how to access it. Once you regain access to your Photographic Memory, it will propel you as far as you want to go. Using Mental Photography training can make you access in your abilities to learn faster again.

By using Mental Photography, students will know how to regain the access to and from their Photographic Memory. The act of performing Mental Photography for students exercises their brain for brain management in phenomenal ways – it taps into and exercises all of the regions of the brain, including your naturally occurring photographic memory. Since we are dealing with information based material and exercises, the photographic memory becomes less elusive, a little more obvious, and contactable. Thus we get to begin experiencing it with various types of recall from there.

An example of recall is: You may have started reading a book that you really know nothing about it however somehow you FEEL you have read it before because you start streaming out statistical data that means that you use your Mental Photography ability.

Now, imagine that you have already enhanced your Photographic Memory. Recall happens, it grows, it gets better and more reliable.

Use Mental Photography for Students to Get Smart, learn and pass your Exams

People may fee that students who used the method Mental Photography for Students pass tests in school is cheating. Of course NOT! Using your natural abilities to assimilate and recall information isn’t cheating – but it is your Ultimate Edge.

Prepare to Make the Most of a College Degree

Shannon Panzo One comment

Preparing for a College Degree…

What preparations do you make for your education?

I often get asked what students should do to prepare themselves for study in high school, then in college towards getting a degree. Well, that does sound like a nice tidy little package, right? WRONG! If you go in with rose-colored glasses on, prepare to have them ripped off and stomped upon.

Build a Budget for College

A note for those that have gone before you: Times have changed, and the amount of dollars you will spend now is about six times what you would have spent in the mid 1980s for the same level of education. In many cases, once you create your budget, the remark of, “We will send you to college just like my parents sent me.” may seem a bit passé.

Please keep in mind, many of the examples I am using are more towards the private, not public levels of schooling. It is sometimes wise to look into the worst case scenario – to snap you back to reality – to see where you can begin saving your money.

Why College?

Starting with the basics, why participate with higher levels of education at all? What is the benefit? The first thing that most people consider is the higher pay. It also makes you more desirable to the workforce, as this table shows; you are less likely to be unemployed.

Employment vs. Education Level

Education Data and Statistics

I have accumulated a bit of data for you to peruse through. The statistics presented here are from the USA, but do reflect similar statistics in other countries with similar facilitation of education.

The cost of good education has skyrocketed!

Forbes:

Average Yearly Wages:

No High School Diploma – ~$23.500

High School Graduate – ~$41.500

Bachelor Degree – ~$55,000

Further Degrees – >$65,000

More than 55% of people in the prison system do not have a high school diploma.

Forbes also points out:

If, you spent $10,000 for college in 1986, today, that same amount of education will cost you $59.800. That is an increase of 500%.

The cost of education has exceeded the cost of living by 2.5 times. What your parents did when they went to school may not be the right decision for you if your finances do not support it. You must weigh the issues carefully.

US News:

Many college’s tuitions are ~$35,000/year – not including any other expenditures.

That is ~$140,000 for 4 years, plus expenses.

College room and board averages $9300/school year (~9 months), and some colleges charge over $14,000/year

Some students could easily see bills add up to $200,000 – $300,000 within 4 years.

Financial Discussion

If you racked up $300,000 on credit, how long would it take you to pay off your loan; 30 years or more?

In relative terms, the average house in the USA would cost you $152,000. If you put the same amount of money into a home, you would have at least 1 house, maybe 2 or more. (Location matters).

News Flash!

Spend 4 years “finding yourself” at college while accruing a huge debt

College is NOT like High School. You will be expected to consume 4 times the amount of information in one-forth the time. Using CONVENTIONAL study methods, you will be expected to study 4 hours each week for every hour you spend in class. If you have a 16 hour class-load, your extra study time will be 64 hours each week. Thus ~80 hours devoted to your studies per week. Have you come prepared? (A full time job is only 40 hours per week.)

Oops, we forgot to budget in all that extra coffee and caffeine you will be living on. (Trips to the coffee pot do not count against those 80 hours.) You better be prepared and have a budget and a game plan. If you do not, you will feel swindled by the higher educational system, and you are left with a potentially huge debt to remind you of the lesson.

Prepare yourself

Prepare for the inevitable. You know the amount of study you must do is ludicrous. Do you intend to have any sort of social life while you are in college? Just to fulfil your college dream, you may need to work at the same time. What are you willing to do to make this all possible? You are willing to spend tens of thousands of dollars every year on your education, which mandates all that time on study. Will you be ‘time poor’?

Time Poor…

Most students would be happy to decrease study time by 50%. What if you could cut it down to 10% or less? Are you willing to spend the tiniest amount on a training that will make your life so much easier? If so, then you should look into ZOX Pro Training.

Alternatives for your budget:

Internet Based College Courses – Live at home, travel to your class in your slippers. The restaurant is only as far as the kitchen. Room and board will be a minimum. The down side is, you will not be networking with others around you. The Internet based meetings are not the same as in person. Likewise, your lines of influence will not be as soundly grounded.

Commuting – This can take a big chunk out of the living expenses in one way, but will be adding some expenses in another. You may need to pay for parking, gas, maintenance, etc., if you are not using public transportation. Scheduling yourself around public transportation can be problematic.

Lesser Valued College – Using lower grade colleges, like community colleges, than where you want to graduate from for the first few years can have its’ own pitfalls. Better check ahead. Your scholastic credits may not be fully transferable.

Don’t worry. The “Big Boys” look out for themselves and make sure they shave off a few extra dollars with this strategy. It is likely if you want to graduate from one of the “big name” colleges, you will be paying much more than you expected, and in many cases taking the same classes over again, just to gain your credits. Therefore, additionally, you are wasting your precious time, as well as your money, for the sake of their bureaucracy.

If you want to see their eyes go wild, ask the college for a money back guarantee. Colleges only support a single direction of cash flow; from your pocket to theirs. We have never heard of one yet, that will return your money if they teach you something you will never use the rest of your life. There is no guarantee their information will be useful. If anyone knows of an accredited college offering even a 60-day money back guarantee for their services, let us know. We will give them some run time here. (Please limit this to major Universities in Countries such as USA, Canada, UK, Australia, etc., and provide the specific information for easy verification.)

CLEP – “Clepping”, or challenging, your courses is a way to put your graduation path to high speed. Many basic 4-year degrees can be achieved this way, with the least amount of expense accrued. Again, there plusses and minuses to getting your degree in this fashion.

You do have many options which you must weigh. It is quite a burden you will carry in your decision making process. You really need a way of pulling together all the information as quickly as possible. To make the best decisions, you need the best information. You know what your needs are, and what you are looking for. Go for it!

ZOX Pro Training Success Secrets

ZOX Pro Does it All, again and again…

After reviewing the list of things that ZOX Pro enables our clients to do, I have decided to revisit these points for your benefit. Please remember that ZOX Pro Training can help you with as many things as you can think of. We are only going over a short list of these benefits. Within the contents below, there are a few seldom mentioned gems of pure genius. Make sure to find them.

Perspectives of Success

Huge oversight… Sometimes the most obvious topics fail to get the proper amount of emphasis given to them. The exercises contained in ZOX Pro Training are easy to learn and use. In fact, when you use our simple set of daily exercises you will immediately begin to improve…

Reading is a “thing of the past”. Achieve a MINIMUM speed of 25,000 words per minute. Even at this speed, you are consuming books at 100 times the average reading speed – Imagine how much knowledge you could gain at that rate! Our clients easily reach 50,000, 100,000, or more.

Retain 100% of the information you absorb for the rest of your life – (most people only retain around 5% of the information they read)

Photographic Memory

Unlock your built-in photographic memory. Your photographic memory is yours from birth. You never lose this ALL NATURAL ability. Learning to read in the traditional way schools teach compromises your FREE ACCESS to this ability. You are taught how to turn it all back on.

Brain Power and Memory

Brain Power is often gauged by how much you remember things. Never forget anything again – Gain an impeccable memory! By simply performing the ZOX Pro exercises that stimulate the brain to the threshold for neuroplasticity to take place, many truly wonderful things happen, like growing more memory. You also stimulate production of new neurons (brain cells), new neural paths, strengthening and connecting older disused paths, and putting this whole massive superhighway to good use. It is ready for you to succeed at anything you want to do.

Achieve a Laser like ability to concentrate – never get distracted again. You are taught the concentration method that Albert Einstein developed and used. Think what you could do with all that brain power.

Peripheral Vision

Your peripheral vision and eyesight increases ten-fold. Your awareness and perception can be raised to the level of professional psychics and cognitive masters. As all of the exercises seem independent, they all work together as one to create a unique synchronicity.

Law of Attraction

The remaining benefits shown below are a result of you using the training. Yes, the Law of Attraction is very powerful. Nobody can escape it. As we are an extension of the universe and all creation, likewise we are tied to the Law of Attraction like an umbilical cord to our existence.

Your mind naturally becomes more resilient as the fog lifts. You become much more effective, organized, and efficient. Your self esteem and self confidence will increase naturally.

You learn to properly relax, and create less stress.

The amount of sleep you need is less, and wake up with more energy and enthusiasm.

Find Yourself – Discover YOUR BEST PATH, and easily stay on track to achieve all the results you desire in your life. Make your goals and dreams a reality.

Facilitate renewed health and wellness of your mind and body, simply by telling your mind to do it for you.

Learn to fully utilize the Law of Attraction to bring you everything you need – everything you are meant to have in your life.

Awaken your intuition and use it in your everyday life to develop a heightened perception – an internal guide that moves you to achieving success and safeguarding you from harm.

Discover new methods of creative problem solving and lateral thinking; solving your toughest problems “while you sleep!” Imagine how much more you will achieve when you set your mind to work overnight! Tesla, Einstein, and many other great inventors others did.

Tune up your brain so you can work smarter – not harder.

Shatter negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs forever, so you can take charge and move forward in all areas of your life, to end your frustration forever.

Quickly and easily tap into the unlimited part of your brain that will allow you to truly unlock your unlimited potential

Harness the SECRET POWER that has allowed hundreds of thousands of people to achieve phenomenal results and major success in all areas of their lives … AND …

Become increasingly happier!

Worthwhile Results

NOW, all of these, and more, can be yours for just DOing the ZOX Pro Exercises DAILY, with steadfast COMMITMENT, and by following a few simple principles…

Change is a fact of life. Embrace change and it will empower you. If you are not changing, then you are not living.

Fashion your goals for you to see results along your path. You can also set “benchmarks” or “guide posts” to help you define where you are at along your path.

Treat your established outdated beliefs as a hindrance to success. When a belief proves itself valuable for you to progress, keep it, at least for now. If a belief is limiting or inhibiting your abilities, get rid of it or modify it so that it works within your personal system. By changing the beliefs that are getting in the way of your success, you are one step closer to the tidal wave of results washing over you.

Different Walks of Life

I say this often, but I still do not say it enough. We teach people from all walks of life, from all over the globe. They have different lifestyles, different ways of interacting, and many different ways of learning things. They come from different social-economic backgrounds, different religions, and have highly varied belief systems. Oh, how boring the world would be if we were all the same. The differences are things that often draw us together, and sometimes push us away from one another.

A Path Well Trodden Leads to Success

It is because of the differences, especially the differences in belief systems, that surface when learning and using ZOX Pro Training. Even though the training is presented the same for everyone, clients have a vision as to what they would like their goals to be. We see that the most successful client is likely to be on the golden path of small steps. What I mean here is the client will set up small goals that can easily be dealt with to get to the next goal. These are “golden” steps because they build consistency of successes. Long range goals are easier to conquer when you have already gained successes along your path.

Risk Taking and Goal Setting

On the other hand, I also see the “risk taker” with the “all or nothing” goal. When goals are set too high, they may be set just too far out of reach for your path within the length of your endurance. You may only be minutes or hours away from reaching that goal, when you just run out of steam. What most risk takers do not understand is they just did not reach their goal. Did they fail? No, they just did not reach the lofty goal they set. We would much rather see you on the golden path of success.

Time Well Spent

Once you experience what ZOX Pro Training does for you, you will not regret spending the time it took to get there. The benefit for you is immense. So, don’t let time stand in your way. The most productive clients approach ZOX Pro Training with complete abandon. They simply know it is going to work, and they do whatever it takes to make it work. That same client will see the riches much earlier than others that are not so committed.

The Watched Pot Never Boils

(From the Don’ts List) Clients that set their clock to limit the amount of time they spend using the process, or continue to look at the Calendar, are causing psychological pressure and stress within themselves. The stress they create blocks them from seeing results, even when they are having results. It causes them to second guess everything. Their conscious mind will happily join into the fray to tell them that they are not accomplishing anything; because their conscious mind cannot do these things – ONLY their subconscious mind can.

Payday is just around the corner

The TIME you spend learning and using ZOX Pro Training will easy be gained back over and over as your effectiveness and efficiency in life increases and moves you from drudgery to living every day in blissful excitement.

Time to Blast Off and Change Your Life!

Memorial Day – The Day of Heroes (Soldiers, Defenders…)

Shannon Panzo 4 comments

Memorial Day

Most countries around the world have their version of Memorial Day to remember their soldiers, defenders, and their heroes of the past. Most are ultimately the forgotten fallen, and many will always remain the “nameless soldier“.

Obelisk

Heroes are Created

Most Heroes never intend to be heroes. They are born out of circumstance and chaos. You may be living next to a #hero and never know it. People can be heroes to a single person, a few people, or to many. And yes, most real heroes do not want to be recognized as a hero for doing good deeds or deeds of valor. They are the kings of the selfless act. As their laurel wreath on the mantelpiece fades and decays, they live their lives influencing others to lead the honorable life.

Hope and Reminiscence

Sure, hope may seem idealistic, naive, and in some ways just unrealistic. Everyone needs their heroes – a cornerstone of the community, someone to count on when things go awry, or just a belief there is still good in the world; no matter how you are set upon by others. Heroes give us words of hope. If you truly give up #hope, then you are lost. There is always room for hope. The only way you can lose hope is to give it up yourself. Hope does not cost you anything, and provides you momentum where there is none.

Never Give Up!

Memorial Day

Time to reflect on what has already happened, and the moment to make decisions for your future.

Use this moment to remember your past – your deeds, your triumphs and your failures.

“History tends to repeat itself”

The reason for this quote is people tend to forget their failures and only concentrate on their successes. When you forget your failures and the lessons they taught you, then you commit yourself to repeat your previous mistakes, thus; history repeats itself.

Your life is a series of choices. Each decision you make, no matter how large or small, influences and changes the direction your path will take through life. That is why it is important to learn the lessons from your previous defeats.

Hero… You have many more decisions to make.

Tread carefully,
