Dear %$firstname$%, I'm back home in Santa Barbara for a few days and taking some time to through the stacks of cards and mail that has flooded my office throughout the summer. It feels SO GOOD to clean up my incompletes so I can embrace the future! I came across one of my favorite quotes today and was inspired to share it with you in today's edition Success Strategies....
I think this is such a powerful statement because appreciation is such a powerful tool, and when people are appreciated, it brings about a huge sense of accomplishment, value, power, and happiness to their life. The great part about appreciating others is that it’s easy! So, who have you appreciated today? I’d like to encourage you to think about who you have (or haven’t) appreciated lately. Take just a minute or two to write people’s names down…and the next time you see them, make a point to appreciate them for the blessings they bring to your life. Today's article gives you some tips and strategies for doing just that. Enjoy! Dedicated to your Success, 
Jack Canfield, America's #1 Success Coach |

Jim Bunch, Creator of The Ultimate Game of Life®, If you’re not moving forward and achieving your financial goals, you’re playing a mental game with yourself. During the Ultimate Wealth Workshop, Jim will help you root out the pattern(s) that are keeping you stuck … and then replace them with healthier patterns that support your goals. Plus we'll be looking at how your current environments are supporting (or not supporting) your desired wealth goals. I'll be presenting a special full day on Friday, the 26th, so I hope you'll be there! Only a limited number of people will be permitted to attend this workshop because we want to ensure that you get the interaction and assistance you need to walk away with a financial game plan by the end of the weekend. Win at the Inner and Outer Game of Wealth ---> www.UltimateWealthWorkshop.com Attention: BTS Graduates... 11 Seats Remain! Are you ready to work at every level of your core being... including levels you may not be maximizing now? If so, I invite you join me, along with an exclusive group of 150 graduates, for my Advanced Training in San Diego this November.
We'll also be working at a much deeper level with the Law of Attraction and learning how we can always operate at that higher state. Because of the work we'll be doing at this training, participation is limited to those who have already done the initial work and made their very first breakthroughs during my 7-day Breakthrough to Success training. Don't miss this chance to advance to the next level!
I'm having SO MUCH FUN with this monthly forum because it allows me to respond quickly to what my students want to know, and it's fun and informative for everyone involved. I prepare highly specific answers and action steps for the questions I answer during the call, so you won't fid this information in any of my other programs. (Yes, that's me in my office preparing for one of our calls!) Register for the call---> www.AskJackCanfield.com |

Whether you are an entrepreneur, manager, teacher, parent, coach or simply a friend, if you want to be successful with other people, you must master the art of appreciation. I’ve never known anyone to complain about receiving too much positive feedback. Have you? In fact, just the opposite is true. Keeping Score When I first learned about the power of appreciation, it made total sense to me. However, it was still something that I forgot to do. I hadn’t yet turned it into a habit. A valuable technique that I employed to help me lock in this new habit was to carry a 3” x 5” card in my pocket all day, and every time I acknowledged and appreciated someone, I would place a check mark on the card. I would not allow myself to go to bed until I had appreciated 10 people. If it was late in the evening and I didn’t have 10 check marks, I would appreciate my wife and children, I would send an e-mails to several of my, or I would write a letter to my mother or stepfather. I did whatever it took until it became an unconscious habit. I did this every single day for 6 months—until I no longer needed the card to remind me. Who Cares? If asked, could you name the five wealthiest people in the world, or five people who have won the Nobel Prize, or the last five Academy Award winners for best actor and actress? The point is none of us remembers the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers either; they are the best in their fields. But if I asked you to list five teachers or mentors who believed in and encouraged you, five friends who have helped you through a difficult time, five people who have taught you something worthwhile, or five people who have made you feel appreciated and special – that’s much easier to do, isn’t it? That’s because the people who make a difference in your life aren’t the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They’re the ones who care. If you want to be remembered for being important to someone else’s life, make them feel appreciated. Appreciation as a Secret of Success Another important reason for being in a state of appreciation as often as possible is that when you are in such a state, you are in one of the highest emotional states possible. When you are in a state of appreciation and gratitude, you are in a state of abundance. You are appreciating what you do instead of focusing on, and complaining about, what you don’t have. Your focus is on what you have received… and you always get more of what you focus on. And because the law of attraction states that like attracts like, the more you are in a state of gratitude, the more you will attract to be grateful for. It becomes an upward-spiraling process of ever-increasing abundance that just keeps getting better and better. Think about it. The more grateful people are for the gifts we give them, the more inclined we are to give them more gifts. Their gratitude and appreciation reinforces our giving. The same principle holds true on a universal and spiritual level as it does on an interpersonal level. I challenge you to discover ways to immediately appreciate someone in your life, starting today! For more on this topic, read Chapter 53 in The Success Principles. It will give you great suggestions and ideas on how you, too, can find ways to appreciate those in your life. © 2008 Jack Canfield Are you "stuck" in this area? * * * If you missed previous issues of Success Strategies, WANT TO USE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR E-ZINE OR WEB SITE? |

Mother Teresa, internationally famed humanitarian and advocate for the poor, once said “There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread.” 
On September 26, 27 and 28, 2008, Jim Bunch, founder of The Ultimate Game of Life® will be leading a private workshop for people who are ready to finally achieve their dreams of wealth and financial independence – no matter what happens with the economy. 
We'll be looking at how to manifest abundance, opportunity, resources and experience in your life by always living and approaching life from your Higher Self. 
'Ask Jack Canfield' is a live, 70-minute, content-rich call where I answer as many questions (as humanly possible) about your SINGLE most important question about The Success Principles and the Law of Attraction.
A recent management study revealed that 46% of employees leaving a company do so because they feel unappreciated; 61% said their bosses don’t place much importance on them as people; and 88% said they don’t receive acknowledgement for the work they do.
