City Buys State a University


Courtesy of Klemmer & Associates Leadership Training Blog. www.Klemmer.com

The California State University system’s newest campus is located in the Palm Springs area. What is unusual is that this university campus opened without the state putting up any money.

For years, officials in the Palm Springs area tried to get the university system to open a campus in their area. Repeatedly, they were told… “If the state has to pay for it, it will take decades. In fact, it might never happen.”

However, two individuals would not accept that as a final answer. They invited the California State University Chancellor to come to town for a luncheon attended by dignitaries. During their time together they asked him, “What if we donated a campus to you? Would you then build it and furnish a staff?” He answered, “Yes.”

The city of Palm Desert agreed to donate the land for a 200-acre campus site. Then by piling municipal money on top of private donations, in 90 days the two raised $9 million and then $10 million more. Now the thriving campus is training thousands of students, plus the campus is surrounded by retail stores and motels which provide a continuous revenue flow for the city.

This story is a great example of “The Formula Of Champions” taught by Klemmer & Associates – which is as follows: Intention + Mechanism = Results. Brian Klemmer maintained that the key to making things happen, and getting fresh ideas and strategies, is not to focus solely on the mechanism (on the How Tos). One must also increase the intensity (hunger/desire) of the intention (the dream or desired outcome). When the intention is strong enough, the mechanisms (How Tos) will begin to appear. Brian taught that one of the ways of raising the intensity of one’s intentions is through visualization. He states…

While needing to raise funds for a building project I was involved in, every week I used to walk the land that I wanted to put the building upon. That caused my subconscious to work on creating mechanisms to raise money. Drawings of the project were made before any money was raised, and I constantly looked at them. That also raised my intention. I actually would take time to mentally picture the grand opening of the building and see people using it. Remember…

…your subconscious is already seeing a picture of what it believes is the current reality.

Therefore, to achieve your goals you must control those images. Surround yourself with pictures of the desired finished state. Go and see and/or touch something that represents your dream or desired outcome. Also create a psychological trigger device: anything that reminds you of that picture of your achieved goal.

By using the above techniques, you can help unlock the powerful potential of your subconscious and accomplish what may seem to be impossible or insurmountable.

In times of negativity and/or economic uncertainty, do not get so busy and/or consumed with problem solving that you neglect to invest time and money into those activities that will enable you to “break out” of the normal and experience exciting unexpected increase.

What can you do to increase your intention mechanism?

Please Help

I am convinced that people from all walks of life need Mentorship. Someone knows something that you don't. A mentor is a more than a teacher. A mentor is a trusted advisor. Teachers share information, a mentor shares his life and wisdom. You must seek out a mentor, for most people have to be pursued before they show you what they know. I have been helped greatly in business because I sought mentors. Some have costed thousands of dollars, but have been worth the investment. Some were free, because they saw a hunger in me to learn. I will never forget their investment in me. Seek out a mentor in the areas that you need improvement. You will be glad you did.


Proverbs :
1:5 A wise man will hear, and will increase learning;
24:3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:
24:4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.
24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength.
24:6 For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Today is Yesterday's Tomorrow

While I was watching a live streaming event on the internet, I heard a well respected minister say "I would not worry about anything BUT today. Why? Today is the only effect I have on my future". This stuck a chord within me. How much of the time I find my mind moving to the future -entertaining fears and concerns about tomorrow. When this happens, it robs me of the NOW factor. It can immobilize you.

Matt. 6 : 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Today is the only control you have over tomorrow ! Such a great concept. We can reap a harvest of our own planting. Lets get busy planting Good Things.

ACTION

I know a special truth. I have proved it for myself. I act on this principle and have had great results in life and business. When I am down and out, I can take this "way of escape" and leave that state.
The principle I speak of is Action.


The Bible shares this wisdom when it says;
But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves..... But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does. (James Chapter One)

Act ! Be a doer! Do something that you have been putting off ! Write that letter. Pick up that phone and make that call. (Remember that the phone does not weigh 100 lbs.) Forgive that person. Give that donation. Just do it !
Any movement towards order creates pleasure. Action will always overcome feelings.

Proverbs

Proverbs 1:28
When they cry for help, I will not answer.
Though they anxiously search for me, they will not find me. For they hated knowledge and chose not to fear the Lord. They rejected my advice
and paid no attention when I corrected them.
Therefore, they must eat the bitter fruit of living their own way, choking on their own schemes.
For simpletons turn away from me to death.
Fools are destroyed by their own complacency.
But all who listen to me will live in peace,
untroubled by fear of harm.

Faith

Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Hupostasis, the word translated "substance," means "that which underlies the apparent; that which is the basis of something, hence, assurance, guarantee and confidence".(Spiros Zodhiates, The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament, p. 1426).

We all "Hope" for a better life, or a guarantee of a bright future in this life. We also secretly covet assurance of life beyond the grave, Having our sins forgiven, Life Everlasting . The great thing is the very things we "Hope" for are promised to those who are Saved by the Grace of God Through Jesus Christ. And you can be included in this ! You can recieve by faith what God has provided. You can't earn it, you don't work for it, and you don't deserve such favor. You recieve it by Faith. And that FAITH is the assurance of what you hope for ! And we only hope for what Gods has said in His Word,The Bible.
If you would like to Know what God has provided for you, click on the "For You" link above on this web page. This information from the Bible can provide all the Faith you need. "Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God" Romans 10:17.

The Good News for Darwin

The message of the Early Church has been effective in every generation. Men are eager to hear the transforming good news concerning Christ proclaimed with the authority of God's Word.

Charles Darwin once admitted he was in error concerning the condition of man. After a scientific expedition to Tierra del Fuego he wrote that the inhabitants of the island were hopelessly savage. Then something happened to those people. Missionaries took the gospel to them. Later Darwin revisited the island and noted the change. He wrote in his diary, "It was without exception the most interesting spectacle I have ever beheld. I could not have believed how wide was the difference between savage and civilized man ....The success of the missionaries is most wonderful and charms me....The march of improvement consequent on the introduction of Christianity throughout the South Seas probably stands by itself in the record of history."

Mind Mangement

A very important principle in life is this : "You become what you think about most of the time". This is a distillation of the best in Success Philosophy. This truth is always at work. You can learn a lot of information, or get multiple degrees,but you will be ruled by your dominant thoughts. This is borne out in the Bible too. Jesus taught the power of words and thoughts. The Apostle Paul wrote about thinking on good things and casting down wrong thoughts. Lets keep our mind on things above !
