Principles of Motivation with Dr. Wayne Dyer, by, Gina Meyers, Principles 1, & 2



Principles of Motivation with Dr. Wayne Dyer


Principle #1:
Change Your Life

Have a mind open to everything and attached to nothing.
When we close our minds, we close off the genius waiting to be unlocked.
No one knows enough to be a pessimist.
Don't close off the genius that resides in you.

Stop being offended. This is a trait to rid yourself of: "people often spend their lives looking for occasions to be offended. If you think this way you will attract many of these unpleasant experiences.

Have a growth mindset. If you run into a naysayer, say: "That's an interesting point of view, I haven't thought about it like that before, let me consider that, thank you."

It took NEW AGE thinkers to get us to where we are today.

Progress is impossible if you always do things the same way.


Principle #2:
You Can't Give Away What You Don't Have

Look at life as an ocean of abundance.

You have options, you can choose to take a mac truck to the ocean of abundance and fill it up time and time again, or you can choose to take an eye dropper occasionally to the ocean of abundance and take a little tiny bit at a time, if any.

Quick Takeaway:

Mac truck "unlimited world" view or take an eye dropper "limited world view."

You could take a mac truck every day to the ocean of abundance, and the ocean will never drop, not an inch, you aren't depleting it's unlimited.

But if you take an eye dropper to the ocean of abundance once a month and only take a little out.

You will always find yourself creating a limited world if your message to the universe is "give me, give me, give me."

Universe response back: "give me, give me, give me."

Never arriving anywhere, kind of becomes a vicious circle.

If you keep attracting the same type of people in your life, if you feel you are always behind the 8 ball you are attracting these experiences in your life based upon your world view.

Ocean of abundance is there, ALWAYS!

Success Principles, Learn how to be successful: Key tips from Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn with the help of Anita Rani. by, Gina Meyers




 Success Principles
Learn how to be successful: Key tips from Tony Robbins and Jim Rohn with the help of Anita Rani.
By, Gina Meyers


I think the first foundational question is how do you define success?

My son asked me in the car a couple of days ago-- a rather teenage question (we've been sheltering in place for six weeks so we were on an afternoon drive). "Mom, if you are so successful, why haven't you made a million dollars yet?"

I answered, Lucas success is different to different people. If I wanted to make a million dollars to prove that I am successful according to your philosophy of success I would. I look at success as experiences that have brought value into my life that can help me make money in the future. Life is about priorities son and right now if I were to spend all of my time attempting to make a million dollars, it would take away from my priorities, which time to me is a commodity and helping you to achieve success by graduating high school and making the grades to get into college are among my priorities.

There was more, but for the sake of time, here's my analysis of Success Principles.


Success Principle #1:

What is your personal philosophy? (This question really means, what do you think about life, finances, your foundational thoughts for your lifestyle, etc.)

Guidance system helps you to figure out what to do and what not to do.

1) Helps you to see the dangers so you can avoid those.
2) Helps you to see the opportunities on the other side.

Game of life is to minimize the dangers and maximize the opportunities.

Adjust your physical guidance system/personal philosophy. Affected by what we know.

Takeaway: Learn from your personal experiences.


Success Principle #2:

Learn from other's  personal experiences.

If you change, everything will change. You have to be willing to make the changes.


Success Principle #3:

Keep a Journal, Don't trust your memory

Be a good student, write down your ideas, pursue your ideas.

Learn from what you see. PAY ATTENTION. If you watch, success leaves clues, take mental notes and good notes. I am going to adjust if need be. Meaning, you will adjust your course slightly if you see something that makes more sense. Perhaps you see a person doing a similar line of work that you do, but they do a process slightly differently and you see that they are getting results, then you would adjust your course to get similar results.

Success Principle #4:


Be a selective listener.
Listen to those who have something to share.


Success Principle #5:

Read ALL of the books you need to read to be as wealthy, healthy, productive, prosperous you want to be.

When you do read, you need to process, sort through and weed out what is valuable to try, what is worth trying.

Success Principle #6

Your Attitude
Get the information while you are in school. This relates to mental attitude.
Don't be lazy in learning.

Success Principle #7

Your Emotional Attitude
Redefine, keep pumping up your emotional guidance system.

Success Principle #8
Motivate Yourself by Growing.
Imagine Your Blueprint for success

This will make you happy, improving, making progress, making yourself feel alive.

Success Principle #8
Visualize Your Life

Create a dream board or go online and make a dreamboard.

Remember you are affected by what you know, so fill your life with positive and set sail on your Success Principles.

Change your mind, change your ideas, make better decisions.

Big takeaway: Success means different things to different people.

For me, I believe success is believing in a cause, giving and achieving results.


Success is what you attract by being attractive!

So, go Carpe Diem!

Marketing 101 How brands change during times of crisis By Gina Meyers Brand, Product, Product Category, Product Differentiation

Marketing 101
How brands change during times of crisis
By, Gina Meyers
Brand, Product, Product Category, Product Differentiation

A brand is the name or symbol that represents a product. A product category is the generic class to which the brand belongs. The distinction between brand and product category is important for several reasons. First, the product category defines the brand’s competition. Defining the product category broadly or narrowly will therefore affect a brand’s strategy. Secondly, distinction between brand and product category is important is that a company may wish to develop a product line, that is, a line of offerings within a certain product category. PepsiCo developed a line of different flavored drinks under a Slice label, to compete in the fruit-based category. 

Whatever product category the company falls in determines what is the product line that they expand and create. 

Thirdly, a third reason for distinguishing between brand and product category is that, at times, a company may be interested in stimulating demand for the product category as for its brand.

In the time of war, or in the time that we are in, during the Covid-19 Pandemic, you will find many companies who have built their brand based upon specific characteristics and criteria, however, in a time of crisis, they are willing to take their brand and change the product they will create and sell.

Market fluctuations in the demand of specific products in the times of crisis will dictate what the companies decide to manufacture and sell, it will be based upon consumer demand.

This is why you see General Motors and Tesela, both known for manufacturing cars, creating, selling and manufacturing ventilators. Also, breweries and wineries who are capable of producing wine and beer, though there is still demand for their product as they are considered “essential businesses” and do not have to shut down during a time or war, pandameic or crisis, many are also mass producing hand sanitizer as the process is within their capabilities based upon their goods and the available supplies that they already use in their everyday business.

Product Differentiation:

In economics and marketing, product differentiation is the process of distinguishing a product or service from others, to make it more attractive to a particular target market. This involves differentiating it from competitors' products as well as a firm's own products.

Consumer Goods are considered convenience, shopping, and specialty goods. For a company to stay solvent, responsive to consumer needs they must change their marketing model to accommodate the changing needs of the consumer and the world that they do business in.

In the past, small and large businesses could advertise to new and emerging markets based upon consumer interest/demand and company’s desire to produce niche products to their intended users.

Businesses that try to remain solvent in an ever changing volatile situation, such as during a pandemic, must be constantly changing their marketing model to accommodate the dictates and demand of regulatory agencies and end users/ also known as customers. 

In times of crisis, there is no luxury in “doing business as usual”. Even if you have an “essential business”, deemed necessary for the operation and functioning of a society.

Bottom line, if you want to survive, you have to get creative, keep your customers safe, and change with the market.
