The TKO Crew and how to make it happen  

Jon Gorden from Northern Florida has an unusual ritual he does on January 1st of every year. He jumps into the ocean and the water is cold enough to give him a good jolt! Why does he do this? It's a reminder for him to GO FOR IT, to live with trust not fear.

How did his ritual start? Seven year ago, everything seemed to be coming together. He had a good job with a dot.com company, and he was about to open a restaurant. His plan was to keep his job until the restaurant started making a profit. His wife and he put almost their entire savings into the restaurant.

Then, a month before his restaurant was set to open, the dot.com downsized. He lost his job. He wondered how he was going to take care of his wife and two young children with no salary, barely any savings, and a new restaurant that at best would take months to turn a profit? He had never been so scared in his life.

For the first time, Mr. I Can Do It All couldn't do it all. And for the first time he surrendered. "Help me, God" he prayed. "Provide for me and my family. I will do whatever you ask of me." He went out and marketed the restaurant 1000 percent. But he couldn't shake the fear that they might not get out of the mess.

So on New Year's day 2001, he took the plunge. Literally into the chilly Atlantic waters. Symbolically into living a life where his trust is much bigger that his fear.

They broke even the first week. The second, third and fourth. Unheard of in the restaurant industry. A consulting gig came out of the blue. His wife said, "Jon, don't you see? We're being carried." Just as their savings trickled down to the last dime, the restaurant made its first profit. He finally understood: When you trust, great things happen.

So let's all jump into 2008 with Jon. Here's to a year of living fearlessly!

Well they really did it this time can we find those seemingly unexplained phenomena of the rest that needs to occur between your self and God while waiting for the manifesting of a goal or dream? Listen in as the TKO crew go for it and seek to help us grow little by little and step by step. Added is a group up and coming on the music scene and we are the first to interview 2 of the band members Ezra Hamilton and Johnathan Ricciardi from the group Open Air Museum...

Expect Abundance is a way to allow your success to activate..........

Dr. Wallace Wattles has written in his book the science of getting rich that there is a power that flows to and through you that permeates and penetrates and fills the interspaces of the  cosmos.  Now that sounds way out and pretty mystic and many people would be turned off by that simple saying but the truth is spirtually there is a power that holds all things together we could not stay stationary and without gravity no one would stay in one spot long enough to create anything the only thing you would want to get a hold of is a rope!

Whatever you accomplish in your lifetime, will be in direct proportion to the:

1.) Intensity of YOUR faith

2.) Persistence of YOUR faith

These 2 things look seemingly simple to apply, but if you know that a habit takes time to create and that to create a habit it takes a shift in your awareness which causes you to change directly.

Take time to understand that you will only go toward that thing which you are in harmony with and that harmony can be something that will not challenge you.  You must have a challenge, it must be foreign and please remember that the thing that you are going toward must not break God's law or the rights of others.

There’s no question that consumers are starting to pay attention to eco-friendly companies. With the threats of global warming, over-filled landfills, water shortages, and many other environmental concerns looming on the horizon, some businesses that want to make a difference in the world—and attract a large amount of consumer goodwill—are choosing to go green.

There are plenty of reasons to consider environmental factors when planning for your next exhibit. If your industry is not traditionally linked with environmental movements, having a “green exhibit” is a great way to stand out from the crowd. Add to that the fact that you’re doing your part to make the world a better place, and you’ll feel less guilty for blowing your competition out of the water. Here are ten tips for going green at your next exhibit.

Building a booth? Use eco-friendly materials. If you’re building a custom booth this year, you have several options for greener materials. First, try to avoid wood. The earth’s forests are nearly 80% depleted, and that’s bad news for our atmosphere. Trees breathe in carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen—so they may be our first line of defense against global warming. Leave a few trees standing by choosing another material to build your booth.

One more eco-friendly choice is recycled metal. While this may not seem like the most biodegradable choice, it’s much better than using non-recycled metals. For example, the process of recycling aluminum takes about 95% less energy than it does to create new aluminum from ore. Recycling steel uses about 60% less energy than making it from scratch.

Another option is wood/plastic composite. This building material is made up of sawdust from lumber and furniture companies mixed with fragments of plastic trash, such as soda bottles and garbage bags. There are many different brands, and the wood comes in colors ranging from deep ambers to espresso browns—as beautiful as natural wood, without the environmental price tag.

Consider your paints. Oil and latex-based paints are toxic to the environment—they contain poisonous chemicals that can’t be removed at a treatment plant. Leftover paint is often poured down the drain, and it gets into oceans and waterways. It also leaches from painted items in landfills, further damaging the environment. Even worse, VOC’s—volatile organic chemicals, such as cyanide—in paint evaporate at room temperature, contributing to global warming while coating your booth.

Instead of traditional paints, look for non-VOC paints made by big-name paint manufacturers such as Sherman Williams and Behr. Other eco-friendly paints are made from talcum powder, clay, and chalk.

Get green giveaways. When looking for a good giveaway item, choose with an eye toward minimizing trash. Avoid items that come in plastic packaging. Avoid plastic altogether, in fact, unless it’s recycled. Good ideas include cotton or hemp tote bags, food in recycled-paper wrapping instead of plastic, recycled plastic Frisbees, pens and other items, and ceramic mugs. Stay away from plastic bags, wood, and non-recycled materials.

Use energy-efficient lighting. Incandescent light bulbs are notoriously inefficient. They emit only 10% of the energy they use as light. The rest is given off as heat—which is why these bulbs can catch your lampshade on fire if you’re not careful. Instead, use fluorescent bulbs. These are much more energy efficient.

Use recycled paper. There are a lot of paper products involved in a typical exhibit: business cards, signs and displays, brochures and promotional materials. Why not use recycled paper? While most people think of rough, textured and off-white paper when it comes to buying recycled, there are many companies that make smooth, bright-white papers that are comparable to virgin papers.

Consider green printing. Some inks can be as toxic as paint. You can go green with your printing by choosing a green printer. Not all are created equally; their commitment to green printing can range from using energy-efficient operating procedures to printing with soy-based inks on recycled papers. Be sure to shop around when looking for eco-friendly printers.

Talk to your vendor. Some booth vendors are more eco-friendly than others. Some may operate under environmentally mindful conditions—using alternative energy and energy-efficient practices, for example—while others may have pre-fabricated booths built from eco-friendly materials. Be sure to ask your vendor for more advice on how you can create a green display for your next exhibit.

Going green doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. While you may have to buy a custom booth to go green, recycled and eco-friendly materials sometimes cost less than their non-recycled alternatives. Talk to your vendor, research your options, and take your time in designing an approach to green exhibiting that works for your company. No matter how far you go with it—from using recycled papers to building an entire booth from eco-friendly materials—you’ll be making a positive contribution.
