The U.S. is experiencing its second warmest winter in recorded history… but it’s not just the U.S. The rest of the world has been experiencing  more extreme weather conditions as well.

Consider for a moment that the forests that give you, me, and our planet breathable air are disappearing at an estimated rate of 36 football field per minute. The Pacific Ocean pollution from what’s known as “Garbage Island“, a floating island of plastic estimated to be twice the size of Texas,  is killing ocean life through plastic and chemical reactions.

Look, I know that you and I recycle, and maybe even compose, but are we really making any significant difference?

The question becomes:

Is our pursuit of The American Dream Creating the Ecological Crisis

Have we failed to notice the connection between capitalism and the ecological crisis?

Let’s face it, we all know that for most folks, the more we make, the more we spend. However, when we spend our next level of wealth on consumer goods, we are, in fact, adding to the massive problems we are seeing with the ecology of the planet, not least of which is climate change.

So is it time for a radical change?

By that I mean a change that many Americans may even see as anti-American?

Chris Williams - Ecology and Socialism: Solutions to Capitalist Ecological Crisis

Professor Chris Wilson in his latest book Ecology and Socialism: Solutions to Capitalist Ecological Crisis, offers what many would consider a rather radical solution to dealing with what he and so many others believe is nothing short of an ecological disaster.

In the February 9th 2012 episode of the new and improved Accidental Guru Radio Show, I  (Dov Baron) will challenge professor Wilson to show us what it will really take to turn this ecological crisis around.

We will take a look at whether President Obama came through on any of his presidential promises regarding climate change. We’ll discuss the question “Is  party policy around everything, but particularly the environment, is set by the elected officials we the people put there or are are policies actually set by big corporations who are somehow the puppeteers of the Senate, Congress and even the White House? We’ll even look at  the impact or impotence of “the occupy movement.”

Make sure you tune in Thursdays @ 10:00 AM (PT) 1:00 PM (EST)

When you look at groups like The American Heart Association, Southwest Airlines, and NATO, you may or may not notice that they seem to be the big dogs… and maybe you see yourself as someone who could never have the kind of  leverage they have. Maybe because you see yourself as an underdog?

But just stop for a moment and consider this: What if that underdog status is in fact your untapped leverage when it comes to influencing the powerful people above you?

Here’s something you have likely never considered: Those “big” companies and associations actually use “the underdog” status to leverage getting what they want?

When Small is Big

When we think of leadership, we tend to quite naturally think of leading from front.

However, here’s something to chew over:

What if you knew how to lead from behind?

Is that even possible?

Well if you tune into the Dec 8th 2011 Broadcast  of The Accidental Guru Show, you will definitely find out!

I know it might be a bit of a mind stretch. However, my guest is going to share with us why being the underdog can be an advantage, and what you can do to make it your advantage…

My guest on this show is a highly successful author, speaker and grassroots generator of change.

She brings fresh perspectives to empowering those who want to shift what may seem like immovable forces.

Amy Showalter Author of "The Underdog Edge"

…And the name of my auspicious guest on this episode of The Accidental Guru Show airing Thursday Dec 8th 2011 @ 10:00 AM (PST) 1:00 (EST) is: Amy Showalter!

To much Turkey

I know it’s rather obvious but, is Thanks Giving really about eating like you are wearing a pair of elastic waistband pants?

Or drifting off into a turkey/tryptophan induced sleep while watching some sporting event on TV?

You and I both know it’s not.

Then why, since we know better, is it that so many of us end up in this oh so familiar place?

Does Gratitude have a place in Leadership?

I actually think it’s rather strange that we need an official holiday to remind us to be thankful?

While I also know that in an ever increasing busy world it is so easy to take for granted that which has the greatest value.

Many of you who read my posts don’t live in the US and for you there’s no such holiday as “Thanksgiving.” However, no matter where in the world you are, this article is for you, because I would like you to please accept my gratitude for you. As you read on you’ll know why I’m specifically talking to you.

For most people the holiday season is a little insane, and in all likelihood, you’re probably busier than a one armed mom with newborn triplets.
However, I trust that you will see that investing a few minutes to read this article will prove well worth your time.

Clearly at this time of year, the majority of people run around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, while feeling less and less connected, to themselves or anyone else.

So right now…Just for a minute or two,  stop!  Take a moment and ask yourself to be totally honest while answering the following question:

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

In today’s hectic lifestyle there is a good chance that you, like most people, you are likely running on empty! I get it, I’ve been there myself.

So in a crazy, hectic world, what can we do to fill up a little?

I want to help you out: Right now, forget everything for a couple of minutes and listen…

STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.

You need to stop skimming for a moment and really take this in, because when I say “gratitude” I’m talking about the real stuff, the all-meat, a real treat, genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection.

In other words, thanks delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory, verbally text “thanx.”

One way of recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it comes from stopping and considering all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted:

Big Smile

•    The smile on a child’s face as they say “hello” or “goodbye’” to you.

•    Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing.•    Being able to breathe and smell the flowers or maybe the coffee.

•    How about gratitude for having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do?

•    Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you.

•    Or receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.

What I’m saying in the simplest terms is; return to a state of gratitude. Grateful…To be Full of Greatness

Full of Greatness

I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and someone who honours their position as a leader, I want to stop and say: This Thanksgiving and every day, I am grateful for YOU…

Yes, I am talking to YOU!

If you’ve been following my work, you already know that I have a dream.
My dream is to facilitate people like you in stepping more fully into their Authentic Selves and becoming a Soul-Driven Leader. Now you may be saying, “What the heck does that mean?”

It means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that despite your current circumstances, you are truly powerful and that you have the power to be a leader in your own life and the lives of those you interact with….

Thank You

In so doing, you create the life that your heart and soul cries out to live.

I am truly grateful to you because, through you, I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission.

You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstoppable team are the fuel that moves me forward.

Maybe you have had this experience, and maybe not;  I know for me there is an inner knowing that I am the voice of something bigger than myself. I, by virtue of you doing the work, carry that voice out into the world. In so doing, you share in my mission, my dream, my purpose.

I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!

Dov Baron Live on Stage

I am grateful to you. You who are committed to growth. You who are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity. You who stand up and fight to be free, even from the prison of your mind.  We genuinely believe that the education we offer at Baron Mastery Institute is a way out of the mental, emotional jails we can lock ourselves in.

Thank you for inspiring me with your feedback, emails, phone calls, photos, testimonials. Your courage, vulnerability and stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received from us at Baron Mastery Institute are the fuel in my tank.
I love taking the time to read and hear them all…

Your work on yourself and your support of our collective mission keeps me believing we can, and do, create tomorrow’s high performance leaders.

I am so grateful to all those who have, been my ardent supporters, some of you one-on-one, some of you one-on-many. Your love for me, and your belief and trust in me is deeply appreciated and is NEVER taken for granted.

I am also grateful for the fact that so many people who have been my virtual friends and supporters, because this year we got to meet eye-to-eye, and give each other a big hug or 10. It has been such a blessing to meet each and everyone of you.

It would be amiss if I did not take the time to thank my peers of the personal growth industry who are also dedicated and committed to serving the growth and evolution many of whom have become my friends…Thank You to you all!

My friends in Personal Growth and peers in Thought Leadership

Thank you to all my wonderful Accidental Guru Radio Show guests and the quickly approaching 100 thousand listeners each week.

Muuum-ma…big kiss of gratitude to all my FaceBook friends and fan, my YouTube friends and subscribers, Twitter followers and of course all of you wonderful readers of this very blog.

Queen Renuka and I

My biggest “Thank you” is always to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration, my muse, my Queen: Renuka. Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.

Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter. You have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment, your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled. Thank you!

You may want to take action on what you’ve read here… Why not take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that, I would suggest that you buy some thank you cards and write notes of gratitude. At least send an email or make a phone call to those people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss the written word).

With that I will sign off: Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.
I look forward to seeing you again soon or meeting you for the first time.

Be grateful to those who treated you with kindness, love and understanding. Be equally thankful to those who have challenged you beyond your comfort zone because they love you enough to risk having you dislike them.

“Even a heartfelt thank you is not enough, gratitude in the truest sense is trusting the intention of the giver and trusting yourself enough as the receiver, to not twist the gift into something it is not.

It is the fool who only knows the value of something after taking advantage of it, or pushing it away” ~Dov Baron…

Gratitude is is something that always pays great dividends. If you put your money into a great investment it appreciates…another word for gratitude is Appreciation and come’s from the word “appreciate” meaning…   “To Increase in Value” Be grateful because what you are grateful for will increase in value.

Leaders Lead... even when no one gets it!

Paula had let go of what others said she should have kept, and had kept what others said she should let go of.  She understood that everyone had an opinion, and they were entitled to it, However, her position was and is to Be a Leader!

Paula has always been a visionary, and that by its very nature will often make others uncomfortable. Looking at her you would never know that those opposition bothered her, because for the most part it didn’t…

This time was different, this was her closest team members. They were the ones she had let in, the ones with whom she had shared the more intimate details of what it takes to be a leader.

Even though it was evident that they didn’t get it, she couldn’t deny the deep longing that they would.

Nonetheless, Paula knew as all those who step up must know: Real leaders are champions for others, and “the cause.” … and that they must willingly remove the interference that threatens to block the pathways that lead to peak performance and fulfilling experiences.

She had hoped to have inspired her team to a greater level of personal leadership, then despite her disappointment she remembered the central Baron Mastery principle she had learned about Authentic Leadership:

At the forefront of Great Leadership is Authenticity. Great Leaders are REAL!

Many see leadership as a position of prestige, privilege and power. Although those can be elements of what sprouts from leadership, there are many things about leadership that so few are willing to stand up for, up against, or be responsible too.

You and I have seen the armchair athlete criticize the professional athlete for a momentary discretion, without ever considering  the moment by moment focus it takes to play at that level.  The armchair athlete’s judgement and ridicule spills forth without a moments thought for the long hours, days, months and years of dedication and deprivation of more favorable desires in order to pursue a dream.

The Armchair Critic

Paula had seen the “armchair leader” criticize an actual leader who works toward a vision that others can barely even imagine.  The armchair leader does this without  ever considering that an Authentic Leader in anything is in their own way a long distance athlete. As such, chooses to sacrifice things more pleasurable. Oftentimes the thing an authentic leader is willing to sacrifice, is the very thing the armchair leader remains attached to: popularity

Why?
Because Authentic Leadership is every bit as much in the trenches as it is at the pinnacle.

Those who have never been in those trenches will be more than willing to offer you their “wisdom”.  But remember that this so called wisdom is attained without risk (they have never been in the trenches). And wisdom without invested risk is nothing more than a “nice” theory.

An Authentic Leader has likely risked everything on more than one occasion because of their commitment to the vision and or the cause.   Authentic leadership is a responsibility few are willing to bare and many are willing to criticize. That is why:

Leadership is NOT by committee!

Do it, or don’t do it! Do not complain about how much time it’s taking or how much time you have put in.

The pursuit of fulfilling your greatness is NOT a part time thing. You can’t be great in a couple of hours a week, or maybe even in a couple of years… Greatness has a powerful work ethic. If you don’t have that, then abandon the possibility of fulfilling your greatness.

Know this moving forward: Leadership is challenging for many reasons, not least of all because it requires doing what you would rather not do, because it serves the greater vision-mission-purpose.

Leadership is challenging because it requires making decisions about things it would be far easier to put off, or put on someone else, because it serves the greater vision-mission-purpose.

Whatever you have decided to do with what you have learned… If I may, I would offer you a challenge: Be A Leader!

Step up and do what needs to be done. Do not assume that someone else will take care of “it”.
In the words of a Famous Business Leader:

Jack Welch - Winning

“Leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion”. ~Jack Welch

A fresh serving of excitement with a small side of anxiety was about to be chewed up and turned into something magnificent! … The music got louder and he hit the stage with a single intention…To Serve!

Chris Jimenez... Here to serve

On September 9th, 2011 Chris Jimenez hit the stage for the first time as MC for the Baron Mastery event “Claim Your Competitive Edge”.  Chris had quite nervously joined the Baron Mastery Speaker-Leadership training earlier that year. When Chris had started in the training he had struggled to get his head out of the way in order to have his wonderful warm heart to speak to his audience.

That being said he was not alone… Less than a month before, Chris with a number of others from the training had auditioned for this honorable opportunity, and it was close. The three runners up were Deb Cummings, Claudette Brouchard, and Trish Leptick. All had done a spectacular job, however, Chris took the prize.  This was in no way a downgrade for the runners up, you see each of them would be given the rare gift of presenting on the Baron Mastery stage at Claim Your Competitive Edge.

None of them had ever been on a platform speaking in front of an audience of this magnitude before. Each one of them had there own particular recipe for excitement and anxiety. Each one of them was able to move past the obstacles before them by holding to the central principle taught throughout our Speaker-Leadership Training…You are here to serve!

From the moment Chris began to speak the audience was both entertained and inspired. However, among other fabulous messages shared he shared there were a couple of moments where excitement became something far deeper, a heart and soul connection. The eyes of women and men alike filled as his words reached out like a gentle hand of compassion to a hungry child.

Chris spoke of  a surprise Christmas gift, a gift not available even in the most exclusive store. What he shared was not a story about tinsel, Christmas lights or any kind of fabulous designer gifts. This was a story of something far more valuable than any price tag.

As we all sat on the edge of our seats, Chris shared the impact of being a member of the Baron Mastery CORE affluence programs and the value it had brought to his life.  He spoke of being in the best shape of his life, having vastly increased his financial flow and now having more availability to his wife and children.  And then he began to speak of  the profound healing he had not even known he had needed when he entered the program.

Last Christmas Chris took his wife and children and they traveled down to California to be with his father and his fathers family. This is something Chris had done many times and as much as it was a good thing to do, there was always something missing. You see his dad had left the family when Chris was just a little boy. And as so often the case, incomplete memories and the opinions of others become a reality that chokes out the complete truth. Without knowing it this had left both men missing something neither had been able to articulate, and it had remained a secret yearning.

From the moment Chris engaged in being a CORE Affluence Member he became dedicated to his inner journey, because he immediately saw the value this system brought to his life….

Last Christmas, Chris stood face to face with his father, and even though he had done so many times, this time was different…this time he could see this man for the truth of who he is.

This time they were not just eye-to-eye, somehow they were heart-to-heart too. Whats more for the first time he felt his father seeing him for the man he is.  As the two embraced, a miracle took place, for the first time ever their armor cracked and suddenly two men who had deeply missed each other let love between them run freely.

The dam of resentment finally crumbled under the awesome force of something far more powerful; deep compassion. In that moment these two men gifted each other a transformative experience of love. For the first time ever Chris knew with every fiber of his being that his father loved and respected him… Neither man will ever be the same.

I will tell you more about this amazing, life changing event called Claim Your Competitive Edge in upcoming posts.

Come to the edge, let’s fly!

You and I both know there will always be obstacles to overcome.

Sometimes these obstacles are outside in the world, while other times they are part of your inner world,  in the form of belief systems and self talk.

Here is what I know: To achieve truly living in and from a place of abundance, what you desire cannot remain something you’d merely like to have.

No Obstacle to Big to Overcome

How many times have you heard people say as they watched someone do something say, “I’d really like to do that.” Then that same person walks away and you know as well as I do, they will never do anything about what they say they’d “like to do.”

To bring whatever it is that you want into your life, you must develop an insatiable hunger for it. That means, for a while, it’s all that matters. You vigilantly watch the ego-mind; you refuse to be taken off track. You know your direction and you will allow nothing to move you from it. At that point, all obstacles are viewed as challenges to be overcome, with each one giving you a renewed sense of focus.

You meet difficulties with the mindset that there’s always a way to overcome them, and moreover, you are committed to finding it. You approach, go through, and attend to your outcome without the option of griping or complaining. You keep moving forward; you make it a “must” and as a result, it will happen. Guaranteed!

That being said, the obvious question is, “What do you want?”
That my friend only you can decide!

Boiled down, what we want to know is are we predestined to live out our our genetic heritage or can we control and direct our own destiny.

Although the debate continues, there is overriding evidence that we are NOT held hostage to our genetic code.

However, what about when it comes to generating money and more specifically wealth? Is there a money gene, or for that matter a financial struggle gene?

When it comes to generating, keeping and growing wealth, is it Nature or Nurture?

The Money Gene

Consider this: Those who grow up with or were consistently around other wealthy people have an understanding of wealth that can be completely foreign to someone who grew up in poverty or has never been in a place of abundant cash flow.

E.G: If you grew up in rural China fifty or so years ago, the idea that people would NOT eat with chop sticks may have seemed, at best ridiculous and maybe even completely wrong.

So it is with money… What’s intriguing is that for those who don’t have it, money comes with a whole set of myths perpetuated by those who don’t have it.

Let me explain. We take for granted many of the things that are part of our everyday lives. However, many of those things we now take for granted are the same things people thought of as “evil” before they were understood.

For instance, at one point in history, even speaking about the idea that planet earth was not the center of the Universe or that the earth orbited around the sun got people imprisoned or even killed by those who believed such talk was evil.

What it comes down to is; by human nature, we tend to be suspicious of what we don’t understand. In truth, it’s pretty much the same with money and wealth. If you don’t understand it, you are likely to be suspicious of it. Did you get that, because it was short but also very important?

Okay, I’ll say it again a little differently.

“We have a tendency to mistrust, or not believe, what we have not yet developed the capacity to understand. ” ~Dõv Baron

Truth be known, you can blame your genetics for anything, but that doesn’t make it true.

What you know about money you’ve likely learned from those who did not have it or at least not enough of it. Doesn’t it make sense to put yourself in an environment with those who have a level of comfort with having and generating wealth, so as to nurture your own comfort with it? That way you can check to find out, if what you believe is actually true for those who do have it?”

NEWS FLASH: Leaders Brain Hijacked

…Leader’s brain hijacked….
Imagine reading that headline as it scrolls across your CNN news hour. What would you think?

Maybe you would think, “This must be the work of some evil scientist or an invading alien race”.

In truth, the leader’s brain may have been hijacked by a small change in her/his environment.

Greek philosopher Heraclitus said, “Change is the only constant.”

So why do we fight so hard against it?

As someone who has spent most of my life in some form of a leadership position, I am going to give it to you straight. If you are going to step up and really be a leader, you are going to have to embrace change! However, I’ll admit there’s an important part of your brain that doesn’t like change!

Recent research shows that human brains have evolved with a strong capacity to detect what neuroscientists call “errors.”

These are not errors in the traditional way we think of errors, for instance, as mistakes: “I miscalculated, so therefore this is an error.” Errors in this context are anything that is a perceived difference between what you expected and what occurs in reality. For instance,  scientific research show that when someone is told to expect a sweet-tasting treat, but when they put it into their mouth and discover that it tastes salty or bitter, their brain goes crazy.

The brain produces intense bursts of neural firing that are markedly stronger than the firing caused by familiar stimuli. A study run by Dr. Edmund Rolls of Oxford University found that the “errors” that produce these intense bursts of neural firing are generated by a part of the brain called the orbital frontal cortex.

Now you may be thinking, “What’s that, and why should I care?”

Well, if you want greater levels of success, you will want to turn up the brightness in your eyes and here’s why.

The orbital frontal cortex is the part of the brain that is closely connected to the brain’s fear circuitry. Neuroscientific errors (or incorrect assessments) evoke a fear response in your brain!

The fear circuitry is housed in a structure called the amygdala, and the amygdala is the source of that sudden and overwhelming fear or anger response that can come up when we are faced with change. The kind of response where you might later say, “I have no idea what came over me.” This is your brain on fear!

These parts of your brain are among the oldest parts of the mammal brain. What’s important about that is that when they are activated, they draw energy away from the prefrontal region of the brain, which is the section said to promote and support higher intellectual functions.

So what does all that have to do with you and your ability to reach higher level of leadership and success?

Well my friend, change by its very nature is outside of the familiar.  Therefore change, even if it is for the better is going to be firing off those “error detection signals.”

These signals invariably push the individual to become emotional and to act more impulsively.

Most often, the result is fear and anger in the face of change. When you observe such a response, you may have the sense that the individual’s brain has been hijacked and some kind of animal instincts have taken over.

As I started out saying– If you are going to step up and really be a leader, you are going to have to embrace change!

You will never reach that higher level of success while allowing your brain to run error messages every time a new opportunity shows up.

“Our problem is not to be rid of fear but, rather to harness and master it.”   Martin Luther King Jr.

It is at that moment that you either decide to feed the drama or…  walk away from it & people who create it.

When You take your Stand, you either surround yourself with those who support your dreams or…. those who tear them down, (often in the name of love)…

What's Your Level of Commitment?

You either stay in the shadows, not ruffling feathers and soothing those who fear greatness or…  you do whatever it takes to come out of the closet and add value to the world because you own that there are people suffering by you playing small….

Spend time with those who elevate your spirit and bring joy to your heart, with those who refuse to believe your excuses because they see what you are truly capable of, because they are on your team.

When other turn away, step up because you know that greatness is NOT achieved by cowards

When others quit, stay the course because you know that you are guided by something greater than the status quo

When others dabble commit even though there are no guarantees

Once again I remind you: The Shift from impossible to “I’m Possible” is the Depth of Your Desire!”

You can consider me as someone on your team… The more important question is: Are you on your team?

It’s time to take a stand… Be a leader who has the courage to turn away from what others make okay, step into your excellence!
