I hope all of my readers enjoy a fabulous 4th of July holiday - celebrating the patriotism of this symbolic day when rebels many many years ago staked out their independence and freedom from tyranny in this incredible country we call the United States of America - the land of the FREE.

This holiday brings me such gratitude when I think about the three years I’ve been a part of the home-business revolution with Platinum One Destinations in FREE enterprise.

I am grateful to the rebels years ago who set the intention and even died on behalf of freedom so that I can now choose to be a free person and live life as I choose.

And, I am grateful to the people today who choose to step out of the “rat race” and declare their independence with courage and determination to improve thier lives doing it “their way”.

One of the reasons I feel being a leader in home business free enterprise is so important is that sadly, many people, even though they live in a country that allows for personal freedom, whether conscious or not, are slaves to their lives, their jobs, their bosses, the media, or their employer’s goals and bank accounts, rather than their own passions, goals, families - whether conscious or not.

Each year I make it a habit to read the Declaration of Independence. Someone recommended I do that one year and while I thought it was going to be some boring history class like experience, I found it to be so cool. Reading it I could feel the passion, the absolute commitment to a revolution that declared unalienable rights for everyone. And that document has become the spirit behind all we stand for and believe in in America.

I promise it will be inspiring…. read the Declaration of Independence here 

I think many people don’t even realize what the founders of this country set in place for us. People today are controlled by media and big business and even certain government agendas that keep them in fear and in jobs that really create no freedom at all. 

Sure! Employees have a paycheck! Sure they have health insurance! But is a paycheck guaranteed? Does big biz really care for or take care of its people with pensions and job security anymore?  Usually, when a publicly traded company is looking to boost its stock ratings, it will lay off a ton of people at the end of the year just to “cut costs” and improve the bottom line, so their shareholders will have more in their pockets.

It really is such a game that certain big companies, the media, and the government are playing on people, right underneath their noses. They take advantage of people who do not have the resources of information to learn more and be aware of what is really taking place behind the scenes, and control them through the media and laws to keep them employed to fatten the bank accounts of the rich.  Do you think it is an accident that health insurance with pre-existing condition coverage is generally only available through an employer and not as a self-employed person?

That’s why I love home business and free enterprise. It is a revolution of people who are changing the world - getting people tools, education, personal development, improving their mind set, giving them possibilities, and allowing people to free themselves of corporate slavery.

Yes - we are the United States of America - the land of the FREE… And its time for people everywhere to UNITE, declare it, live it, and carry on the legacy of the founders of this country to LIVE FREE in every way…

We all have the natural ability to lead and inspire. We were born with these natural traits. Some people think leadership is possessing some special character traits, like being charismatic, or outgoing, or dynamic.

The truth is, leadership is not glamorous. It is in doing the simple things, day in and day out, that lead to our own happiness, that leads people who will follow. 

We lead every day - as members of P1D showing people an opportunity that can change their life by being there when they pick up the phone.  We lead by being a parent, and making the right choices in front of our children, and also making mistakes, and correcting them and acknowledging them and learning from them in front of them too.

The question is…. How are you leading right now in your life? What kind of example are you setting for yourself, your children, those around you? People will be affected just by knowing you. So, pay attention to how you show up around the people you love most, and even the people that are your biggest challenge. By simply being the change you wish to see (as Ghandi would say), we gain the power of having a positive influence on someone else’s life.

We cannot convince, control, cajole, or push people into anything - including Platinum One Destinations.  The only thing we can control is ourselves, our attitudes, our philosophies, and how we act upon them.  And the time to act has never been more important than right now in our history.  Not only because P1D and NetTrav are getting ready to go FULL LAUNCH in just a few weeks, but because the world needs leaders who are willing to step up and LEAD OUT LOUD…

Watch this inspiring video I came across this week that speaks to leading out loud and the law of attraction.. And step up to your role as a leader in this world.. Do the small things, and you shall have the power..
