<div><strong>Robert Kiyosaki, the famous author of &#8220;Rich Dad Poor Dad,&#8221;  and Co-Author (along with D. Trump), of &#8220;Why We Want You To Be Rich&#8221;, recently shared these powerful insights about:</strong> <strong><span style="large;"><em><span style="underline;">What makes people win or lose?</span></em></span></strong></div>
<p>For some of us &#8220;winning&#8221; is a very simple concept. You create  a goal, you make a plan and when you achieve it, you are a winner.  We all consciously want to win, but there&#8217;s actually much more to it then that, because the way your mindset operates in the background, it has its own definition for &#8220;winning,&#8221; and whether you like it or not, you are controlled by it.</p>
<p><strong><span style="large;"><em>THERE ARE 5 TYPES OF MINDSETS:</em></span></strong></p>
<p>1. The person that wins when they are <strong>comfortable.</strong> This person&#8217;s primary goal is to just go through life as comfortably as possible. They don&#8217;t want to be pushed or challenged. Everything they do is designed to support their pursuit of comfort.</p>
<div>This is your average, life-long employee type who&#8217;s more than happy to have a safe, stable, comfortable job&#8230;or they hope it is.  If getting rich means doing something even a little uncomfortable, forget it.</div>
<p>2. The person that wins by <strong>being liked.</strong> This person’s primary goal in life is to be liked. They want acceptance from everyone, and will do just about anything to reach that goal. They’d rather be liked, than be right or wrong or rich.</p>
<p>When you put someone like this in a leadership role, the business will usually fail because they won’t be willing to make difficult decisions that would upset someone. They would try to please everyone all the time because their ultimate motivation is to be liked by others. Between being liked and being rich, they choose being liked.</p>
<div><strong>3.</strong> <span style="#ffff00;">The person that wins by </span><strong><span style="#ff0000;">being right</span>.</strong> This person is usually an expert in a specific field like a professor or an engineer. People who win by being right, don&#8217;t accept criticism and aren&#8217;t open to learning.</div>
<p>They tend to reach a ceiling when it comes to money, their career, and relationships, because they can&#8217;t accept their short-comings in order to move past them and achieve personal growth.  Arguing with this person never works because they&#8217;ll always find a way to prove you wrong.</p>
<p>In order to win, this person must be right, even if it means sabotaging their chances to success.</p>
<p>4. The person that wins <strong>by losing.</strong> This person wins by being a victim.  All they want is sympathy from others. If something goes wrong it&#8217;s never their fault.  And, just when things start to go right, they will sabotage themselves to make it go wrong and say, &#8220;I knew it wouldn&#8217;t work&#8221; and give you a long list of reasons that blame someone else.</p>
<p>Their lives are always filled with problems because they don&#8217;t win unless they lose, so they create circumstances and excuses that help them fulfill that destiny. These are the typical people that say &#8220;Your opportunity is not real.&#8221; &#8220;Your product doesn&#8217;t do anything.&#8221; &#8220;I don&#8217;t have the money.&#8221;  &#8220;This is just another scam.&#8221;</p>
<div><strong>5.</strong> <span style="#ffff00;">The person that wins <strong><span style="#ff0000;">by winning</span></strong></span>. This person makes decisions quickly and moves with deliberate force and without fear of failure. They are risk takers&#8230; <strong><em><span style="underline;">THIS IS THE MASTER BUILDER MIND SET</span></em></strong>.  Their primary motivation is to win. They are very competitive, and will do whatever it takes to win. They won&#8217;t quit, they&#8217;ll work around the clock and they&#8217;ll constantly learn and push themselves to gain the edge they need&#8230;&#8230;<strong><em>THIS IS THE MINDSET THAT YOU MUST ADOPT IF YOU WANT TO BUILD A MASSIVE BUSINESS THAT WILL PAY YOU $300,000 TO $600,000 WITHIN THE NEXT 18 TO 36 MONTHS&#8230;.DOES IT REQUIRE WORK?  YOU BET IT DOES, BUT WHAT IN LIFE WORTH ANYTHING DOESN&#8217;T REQUIRE HARD WORK&#8230;</em></strong><br />
<strong><em></em></strong></div>
<div><a href="http://joycejacobsen.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/19/files/2009/05/look-in-the-mirror.jpeg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1013" src="http://joycejacobsen.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/19/files/2009/05/look-in-the-mirror-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="170" height="170" /></a><br />
This category describes many leaders on our team&#8230;&#8230; and all other successful entrepreneurs in general, so you also want to develop this mindset <strong><em><span style="underline;">if</span></em></strong> you&#8217;re looking to win big!   <strong><em><span style="underline;"><span style="medium;">Winning is their reward!</span></span></em></strong> This type of person welcomes the necessary discomfort that naturally confronts them because it provides new opportunities to win. They don&#8217;t rollover and say, &#8220;I quit&#8221; because the challenge was difficult.    <em></em></p>
<p><em><strong>ACCEPT DISCOMFORT AS A WELCOMED FRIEND, SINCE IT MEANS THAT <span style="#ffff00;"><span style="underline;">YOU&#8217;RE ATTEMPTING TO DO SOMETHING THAT MOST WON&#8217;T</span></span>.  KNOW THAT THIS DISCOMFORT IS ONLY TEMPORARY, BUT THAT THE <span style="underline;">FINANCIAL</span> FREEDOM AND <span style="underline;">TIME</span> FREEDOM WILL LAST A LIFETIME!<br />
</strong></em></div>
<div><span style="medium;"><strong><span style="#ff0000;"> </span></strong></span></div>
<p><strong>After reading this section, you&#8217;re probably taking a hard look at yourself right now&#8230; Which one of Kiyosaki&#8217;s 5 mindsets are you currently operating in?</strong></p>
<p><strong>There are people who are not wealthy because they want to be right. There are people who never build a business they want to be comfortable. There are people who are constantly struggling because they win by losing.</strong></p>
<p><strong>All I know is this: Entrepreneurs win by winning, and they&#8217;ll do whatever it takes to fulfill that subconscious desire. Developing a winning mind set is the key to your succes</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me tell you how to make a podcast which is an easy way of distributing media files over the internet.  The first thing necessary is a domain and a host to store the media files for the podcast.  Getting a domain is simple and easy, there are many domain registrars that can register a domain for someone for a small fee. Some domain registrars are GoDaddy.com, Dotster, or Network Solutions.  The domain registrar will, for a small fee, enter the chosen domain, into the computers.  These computers will be told where the domain is located on the internet; what host holds the domain&#8217;s information. In order to give them that information, the name servers held by the host need to be associated with the domain. Once the domain is in place, a good host should be found. The host chosen should offer a large amount of both disk space and a much larger amount of bandwidth. Disk space is necessary because the site which holds the podcast will be storing large media files; audio or video files that take up a lot of space and are difficult to compress. The large bandwidth is necessary because transferring these large files many times to many different people will use up the quota quickly. A good amount of diskspace would be several GigaBytes, the bandwidth should be in the tens or hundreds of Gigabytes. Once the host is set up, it should offer you a couple of addresses called nameservers. Inputting these server addresses into the site where the domain was registered will complete the domain setup and allow the site to be found on the internet.</p>
<p>The next step for people who want to know how to make a podcast is installing the software  necessary to maintain the podcast. A small piece of coding called dircaster.php can be used to set up a basic level of podcast. Dircaster.php can be found easily by searching for it in any search engine.  Once it is located, it should be edited to reflect the particulars of the domain and uploaded to the site. Dircaster.php will generate an RSS file, or feed, this tells the subscriber about the new files available for downloading. To begin podcasting, create the audio files that should be podcast, fill in the<br />
information about the file such as date, author, etc, and upload them to the same directory that contains dircaster.php. You now have a podcast, and all that is needed is to publicize the address of the file dircaster.php. To update the podcast with new information, just upload the new files. Other things to make the podcast better might be a site that contains information about the podcast, but it isn&#8217;t necessary.  ENJOY!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A growing trend online is podcast video. While podcasting was originally only for audio files, more people are beginning to send video, especially with broadband connections more accessible. To podcast video, content distributors enclose it in a web syndication file that users can download and view when they want. Users subscribe to the different files, checking them for updates regularly, and download the new offers when they become available. Each file is often referred to as an episode, and may be part of a video blog, or vlog.</p>
<p>Podcast video, and other types of podcasting are thus part of the blogging revolution. Individuals and groups around the world, with a small investment in equipment and time, can become content producers. Because it is so simple to use and cheap to set up, many people are getting involved. They can podcast video around the world, becoming producers and directors for any small niche they want to exploit.</p>
<p>Many of these podcasters have small audiences download their podcast video, but larger groups are getting involved. News organizations and websites serve massive audiences are discovering podcasting and podcast video can distribute their content to millions of people easily. These groups have found podcasting video is yet another way to distribute their news and information. Since podcasting is so easy to use, it&#8217;s likely even more people will start using podcast video. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Podcast Yahoo, is an example of a very full featured podcast directory. Yahoo&#8217;s beta offering presents podcasts from many professional organizations including NPR, Slate Magazine, and others. They also organize their listing by categories, offer a list of the most popular series and episodes currently available, and let users search through the entire database.  Yahoo&#8217;s site is professionally done, and likely has people permanently assigned to work on it, and so it differs from many of the other podcasting directories available. Many directories are little more than listings of amateur podcasters, but Yahoo&#8217;s site brings out a number of feeds done by mainstream organization, raising the level of quality available.</p>
<p>For anyone who wants to find a podcast, Yahoo is certainly a good choice. They have a slick, well done site easy to use. Yahoo even includes software at the site so podcasts can be listened to from within the web browser. After logging in, Yahoo allows users to subscribe to feeds they enjoy, letting them be notified when new episodes are available. Yahoo even has a detailed walk through to help visitors create and begin publishing their own podcast.</p>
<p>Podcast Yahoo clearly demonstrates the ability of a corporate group to create a well made site. While it&#8217;s<br />
very unlikely that Yahoo or a company like it would have been able to come up with podcasting, once they know what to do, they can do it well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A podcast directory is a listing of syndication feeds that link to a podcast. They are often organized by category and topic, and allow the user to find a feed that podcasts about almost anything. Just as search engines help people find sites with the information they need, a podcast directory presents a  searchable list of podcasts users can subscribe to. Users may even be able to play the available feed episodes from within the site. </p>
<p>Unlike most search engines, though, a podcast directory rarely searches out and finds content on its own, automatically. All the feeds are either contributed by users who want people to find their podcast, or added by the staff. Nearly anyone can set up a podcast, but gaining visitors can be difficult, and so podcasters can submit their feeds to the directory to gain readers.</p>
<p>Since its so easy to make a podcast, a podcast directory often uses ways to separate the very good feeds from the ones people do not enjoy as much. A directory may have a ranking system, feature certain special feeds on the front page, or even allow visitors to comment with their thoughts on a feed.</p>
<p>Visitors to a podcast directory can thus add their own podcasts, search for feeds on topics or regions that interest them, and even comment on those they like or dislike.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A podcast feed is a way of sharing files over the internet. It involves the use of a small, machine readable file that is regularly updated to reflect changes in the files available for downloading. The internet addresses of these files are embedded into the feed file and can be automatically downloaded when wished. At this time, podcasting tends to refer to the use of feeds to share only media files. Podcasting originally occurred as a way to share audio mp3 files, and has only recently begun incorporating video into podcasts. However, the technology allowing the files to be shared is not limited to such media files and there is no reason other files may be shared via podcast in the future.</p>
<p>Today, however, a podcast feed tends to refer to the use of a feed to share media files. Most podcasts are done with audio files, and the individual files created and shared are called episodes. These audio files may contain a variety of things; there are music, comedy, news, technology, even podcasts about wine.  Podcasting, because of the low entry cost, especially for audio podcasting allows nearly anyone who believes they have something to say to broadcast it over the internet. Even more established groups have found audio podcasting works well. Some radio stations podcast portions of their content, sharing it over the internet to allow listeners who missed a specific show to catch up on it later. NPR now does this with its news breaks, and the NPR show &#8220;This American Life&#8221; offers a podcast of its shows to subscribers who pay a small fee.</p>
<p>One of the newer innovations in podcast feeds is the vlog, or videoblog. These blogs usually contain a feed that distributes a video, rather than an audio file to feed subscribers. Although that would not have been feasible a few years ago, growing numbers of broadband internet subscribers has meant most users are able to download large files, even video files, relatively quickly. These video podcasts have been readily accepted by mainstream news organizations. They have found podcasting portions of their content is a way to share their tape and reach a wider audience. The BBC currently does this with parts of its news content. Pieces of the news show is played over the airwaves is taken and placed online, along with a link to the content placed inside the RSS feed. Those who subscribe to the<br />
BBC feed can download the news clip and watch it from the comfort of their home computer.</p>
<p>In the future, podcast feeds may be used for a number of purposes besides simply sharing media files. Some analysts predict the feed system could also be used to share software updates, or any of a  myriad of other file types. For now, however, podcasting is dominated by small audio and video files.       </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many online music podcast rss feeds to choose from online. For many of the feed producers, a<br />
podcast feed is a way to distribute non mainstream music that otherwise would not be able to reach an audience. These musicians are able to build a following and share their work from outside of a music culture that tends to keep out more niche groups. Because the music industry is oriented towards mass distribution and marketing, musicians and groups that aren&#8217;t believed to command such widespread fandom are kept out of the market.</p>
<p>Distributing some of their music by podcast rss feeds, however, lets them grow a small fanbase and attract listeners who enjoy their work. These musicians may support themselves by also selling portions of their work, or may decide to provide all of their work for free, as some do.</p>
<p>These musicians may, after growing a fanbase who enjoys their music podcast rss feed, parlay that popularity into music contracts within the industry. By proving they can support a passionate audience even with their own meager efforts, a company can sometimes be convinced of the music&#8217;s viability on a<br />
larger stage. By proving that the musicians can support a dedicated audience and can keep producing quality work, the group or individual has a better chance of successfully getting a contract while maintaining their independent style.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Podcast downloads are a wonderful new online way to share files. A podcast is a way to send files from a distributor&#8217;s online site directly to the subscribers computer, where they can view them whenever they wish. A podcast works by having a small file called an RSS file placed somewhere on the podcaster&#8217;s web page. This RSS file is updated regularly, usually automatically with text and links to new media files available for downloading. The RSS file is then accessed by the podcast client of the subscriber&#8217;s computer. A podcast client is a small program that goes online to look for the RSS files that the feed subscribers wish to view. There are many podcast clients available for every conceivable need, and most are free to download and use.</p>
<p>The podcast download will be done when the podcast client downloads and views the file from the feed&#8217;s website. After finding the links to the media files embedded in the RSS file, it will download those files and store them on the computer, allowing the user to view them whenever and as many times as they wish. The podcast files may be of many things. There are comedy shows done by people who enjoy creating and writing a regular show, but aren&#8217;t able to do it as a business. Some podcasts are music mixes, an mp3 file that subscribers can play. Even some radio shows are getting into podcasting, allowing subscribers to download portions of their shows from the internet in podcast form and play them on their home computer.</p>
<p>Podcast downloads could conceivably be applied to any type of file. The RSS files that allow mainly audio and video files now used in podcasting to be downloaded can be customized to enclose almost any type of file. This has led some analysts to believe podcasting could eventually be used to distribute software updates, demonstration programs, and many other types of files, moving beyond the simple use of podcasting to share media files. All that would be necessary would be for the users to subscribe to the feed with their podcast client. They could then stay regularly updated for nearly anything.</p>
<p>Podcast downloads offer many different possibilities for distribution of files across the internet. Because it is a different mode of using the internet, allowing the data to come to the user rather than the user having to visit each site they enjoy, podcasting has the possibility of changing the way the internet works. Content can be given directly to the individual, easily and ever more quickly as broadband use spreads. This means what the internet is will change drastically. The web changes from something connected to in order to be used to something that is integrated and connected with our personal life.</p>
