How Do You Define Abundance?

Abundance is a concept often debated in spiritual and entrepreneurial circles.
Entrepreneurs commonly use the catch-phrase "thinking BIG," but they really mean the same thing.

Abundance is tough to define because it's one of those unique ideas that must be experienced to really be understood ... it can't just be explained.

Yet the most encouraging part of adopting an abundance mindset is how it can connect you to people with totally different set of beliefs and values.

It instantly sustains inclusivity even with people who are dramatically different.

POP QUIZ: What do Mother Theresa and Donald Trump have most in common?
The answer is their abundance mind-set.

Donald Trump says, "If you're going to think anyway, you might as well think big."

Mother Theresa said: "The more we discover the magnitude and abundance of God's gifts, the more we will find ourselves."

Again, the abundance mindset creates connections.

Bucky Fuller had this to say about the abundance mindset:
"The condition of planet earth is abundance. Our belief in either scarcity or abundance determines how our financial, legal, political and military systems are set up or exist at all.

Scarcity and abundance are foundational and contextual ideas. They each give rise to a distinct system of thought and a number of rules, characteristics and measures which only make sense within their own system."

Above all, the abundance-mindset is a choice. In other words, you choose to look through the lens of scarcity, or through the lens of abundance. There is no in-between.

"Do ... or do not. There is no try." ~ Yoda

Because there are are so many differing opinions about abundance, my colleagues and I have decided to conductthis worldwide survey get more opinions - your opinion - on this highly debated topic.

My JV partners, Alex Mandossian and Scott Martineau are hosting the Virtual Abundance Expo next week, so I figured this a great opportunity to host a survey and attract the best single sentence that clearly defines abundance.

What to do now: Please use the comment box to write your definition of abundance. The survey ends at 5pm PDT on Monday, July 27th, right before Jack Canfield's keynote speech for the Virtual Abundance Expo.

All the definitions will be gathered and tallied the next day and five finalists will be chosen for the final vote.

If you are one of the five finalists, your definition of abundance will be personally evaluated by our Virtual Abundance Expo faculty.

The top vote-getter with the clearest and most concise definition of abundance will be personally interviewed by Scott and Alex as a honorary faculty member for Virtual Abundance Expo.

So what do you say ... are you game?

If you are game, then take a peek at these 9 abundance quotes to get your heart and mind moving...

"The only factor becoming scarce in a world of abundance is human attention"
~ Kevin Kelly in Wired

"Nothing amuses me more than the easy manner with which everybody settles the abundance of those who have a great deal less than themselves."
~ Jane Austen (1775 - 1817)

"Abundance is, in large part, an attitude" ~ Sue Patton Thoele

"Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise"
~ Heraclitus (540 BC - 480 BC)

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little"
~ Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882 - 1945)

"Unfortunately, the balance of nature decrees that a super-abundance of dreams is paid for by a growing potential for nightmares"
~ Peter Ustinov (1921 - 2004)

"Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into"
~ Wayne Dyer

"Expect your every need to be met. Expect the answer to every problem, expect abundance on every level"
~ Eileen Caddy

"Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance"
~ Epicurus

Now it's your turn ... type in what you feel abundance means to you. Go ahead ... the simple act of thinking about it will instantly improve your day.

What is your branding strategy?

As I mentioned in May, I redesign my logo. After almost two years in Miami, the New York City skyline didn't adequately represent my business anymore. As my business has become more international, it was time for Biba4Network’s new look.

After the new logo, I also needed a new business card. I tested the design by showing it to my mastermind group here in Miami for feedback. They all loved it, and I implemented the one change they suggested. Now the cards are ready to go to print. After changing my logo and card, it was crucial to redesign my website banners to reflect the new look. I finally have finished the project. Last week we updated every page, including about 200 pages on my website Biba4network and 50 pages on TheConnectionQueen. Both websites now share the same look, which streamlined my branding.

Biba4Network is the name of the company, but TheConnectionQueen has been my 'stage name' for the past 3 years and it's much easier for people to remember. Each time I attend an event and give my business card, I always receive the same comments: "The Connection Queen, I love that", "The Connection Queen? What a great name!" or "The Connection Queen, I definitely need your services." It opens conversations with people, and helps me be recognized as a networking expert. Because of this tag line, I am regularly ask to be a guest speaker or contacted for an interview.


In fact, I spoke this past Wednesday for "Only Diva’s Please…" sponsored by WealthSuccessandWomen on Blog Talk Radio.

Did you connect with me online?

I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth of July with your friends and family. For the first time I celebrated the Fourth of July, since it is not a holiday in France and since living in the US I haven't had the day off. Since I work with both continents, if I take every day off in France and every day off in the US – I won’t be working very often! But this year it was a Saturday, so I joined some friends we went to see a parade, then the beach and finish with the fireworks. A traditional n 4th of July I guess.

Recently, social media / social networking have become very important in the business world. It completely changed the way we do business. It is a great opportunity to expand any business world wide, but some people are still confused on how to use online networking. Before, clients were asking me how to network effectively, now more clients ask me how to use social networking effectively. For more information about it and to get some tips on how to start and what to do, read my new article below.

Client testimonial

BlitzTime is an EXCELLENT tool for pre-qualifying your prospects. You get an immediate sense of synergy (or not), which makes it an efficient way to leverage your time.

Happy 4th of July to all of you

I had an amazing 3 day seminar with my French clients. Thanks to my expanded network, I was able to introduce them to people they might have never met if they were simplycoming as tourists. More importantly, they first learned about business and financial opportunities that they didn't imagine might be available before. They left the seminar with new ideas that will help them to grow their business and make a lot more money- even during the recession.

We are already in July, which means we are half way of 2009. Did you achieve any of the goals you made in the beginning of the year or did you already forget them? This is your second chance! Don't miss it.

Set up your goals and refocus on your goals for the next 6 months and be sure to be on track by December. Don't try to do too much at once. It is better to have 2 to 3 important goals that you will be able to achieve than to have 10 that you might give up within few weeks or months. I actually did a collage a couple of weeks ago, to set my goals for the next 6 months. I put it next to my desk as a reminder.

Read the article bellow "What are your goals for the next 30days?"
Don't try to eat an elephant in one time. Set up baby goals every month and try hard to make sure you reach them. Try to get to the big picture by of the end of the year. If you try to do too much at once, you will get discouraged. It doesn't work the way you want if you try to rush it and consequently nothing solid will happen.

Happy 4th of July, and take some serious time to think ofwhere you want to be in 6 months.
