When times are tough, it’s more important than ever to use every tool you have to succeed. This has never been truer than now. Even though an economic meltdown has been averted, the hardest is yet to come.
We are in a global economy and the rest of the world is hungry to eat your lunch. This is the stark reality. The prosperity of the past two decades has been an illusion driven by a credit bubble. That’s over and now the gloobal playing field is more level. Therefore we are all faced with a new set of challenges in manifesting what we desire. You have to bring your “A” game to be prosperous in this environment.
The challenges are many:
As an optimist, I hate to bring this news. However, that’s the reality we’re facing. But here’s another reality. There are people who are going to be thriving. They are the ones with the clarity to see the opportunities that are created by the chaos. But why will they thrive while most people will flounder?
Clarity, focus and health will be their advantage. These are all things that you have a high degree of control over if you choose them.
This is so simple it seems silly to repeat it, but I know without a doubt that only a few people are smart enough to do what I’m about to recommend. You see, the solution is simple but people have too many internal barriers to giving themselves what they really want. So instead they continue to justify their suffering by blaming external conditions instead of admitting that they aren’t really committed to success.
So here is all you have to do: Find a good Polarity Therapist and get at least 2 sessions a month for the next year. That’s all. Can’t afford it? I find that is rarely true. People will spend $50 to $100 a week getting coffee, going out to dinner, getting drinks and many other things that may be fun and relaxing, but moves them no closer to prosperity. They will spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a trip that gives them temporary relief and long term bills but they won’t invest in their health and prosperity. So again, it comes down to your choice.
Let me explain why Polarity Therapy will make you successful and maybe that will give you sufficient resolve to get regular sessions.
First, clarity: Polarity sessions clear the energetic obstalces to listening to your intuition and information from your body. This is cumulative so the more sessions you get, the clearer the signals and messages become. This is a huge advantage over people who are walking in a haze and not noticing what is going on around them.
Second, focus: As your fears and other blockages are removed, your concentration is greatly improved and you are less distracted by the noise of your emotions and body. Your improved focus allows you to act on the information you receive from your improved clarity.
Third, health: You must have good health to have the energy to maintain your focus and accomplish your dreams. Some people are strong enough to overcome health issues and still succeed. But they do this by doing the most with what they have. Everyone needs to do the same. In this coming year with H1N1 and other diseases, it’s more important to do everything you can to stay healthy. Polarity Therapy is the best I know for doing this. Again, it starts with having the clarity to hear the signals from your body about what you need to stay healthy. A clear individual is more likely to eat right, get proper rest and exercise more.
By getting regular sessions your intuition and creativity will start working at a higher level and you will have the focus and health to put this information into action. You will also be better at avoiding problems and your success will multiply. It’s at the core of all success.
So it’s up to you. If you say you want to succeed it’s time to make the commitment. Don’t put it off. Contact Spa Tech Institute to help you find a great therapist.
There are no excuses. Only missed opportunities.
Wishing you a healthy and prosperous life,
Kris

Hi. My Name is Kris and I used to work for large corporations.
But I’m in recovery.
This all came back the other day after interviewing a prospective student. Her story reconnected me with the deep feelings of insecurity and dependence that I associate with the large corporate environment.
Her story was compelling. She is an intelligent person with a lot to offer, but the management of the company was making her feel inferior and undermining her self-respect and self-esteem. She had been reduced to an obedient, and dis-empowered, employee who was more focused on keeping her job than in doing what she knew would help the company. The situation was draining her life force and creativity as she kept her head down, afraid to speak up or make suggestions that could lead to improvements in the company. The fear of negative reactions had stolen her strength.
As I was driving home it all came back. I remembered the managers who would take credit for other people’s contributions, blame the people who reported to them whenever something failed and played politics to make other people look bad. This behavior was more in some companies than others, but it highlights the basic dysfunction of the large corporate environment.
At the core is the shift to seeing the competition for promotion as other people in the company rather than following a mission to improve the world. Departments competed against other departments and employees and managers were always fighting to get to the top or prevent others from getting ahead of them. The large company setting created insulation between the work to be done and the results. Therefore most employees focused on “playing the game” instead of fulfilling the mission.
I didn’t function well in that environment. I pointed out ways we could improve and managers would take my ideas as their own and would prevent me from talking to people who could have made a difference. I was treated as a threat and my enthusiasm and self-esteem were ridiculed. It was painful and took me years to forget.
But I will always remember the day I left and felt like I could finally breathe again. It was like climbing out of a swamp. I was a mess from the experience but with every step I grew stronger. Eventually I was able to reconnect with my creativity. It took years of Polarity sessions to recover my confidence and self-esteem but over time it returned. And eventually the feelings of dread and fear were replaced by the daily feeling of waking up with great opportunities to grow every day.
However, I also still remember the feeling of leaving the illusion of the safety net of the large corporation. At first it was scary to not have the routine or the structure. But as I watched my friends get laid off I realized that the safety net was only an illusion. It became clear that the promises that were made and the benefits that were promoted were based on fear. The term “golden handcuffs” was very appropriate. Insecurity was fed and expanded to maintain the addiction.
The realization of the personal price paid for being addicted to the large company benefits and indoctrination is a hard to describe until you experience something different. But for those who are able to break free and experience themselves as the source of their creativity and security, freedom has a new meaning. It’s a soul freedom that is hard to imagine. But it is one of the most important freedoms we have.
And this freedom is at the core of true prosperity. Prosperity and being a slave do not go together. Prosperity thrives in a culture of freedom.
So what do you need to make the change?
So that’s all there is to it. The question you have to ask is this: If I do nothing to change, how is my life going to change 5 years from now. If I do nothing, what will change. The answer is almost always, nothing changes. Your life is just more of the same. The only difference is that you are more tired, frustrated, beat down and discouraged with every year that passes.
I wish you great experiences and prosperity as you take control and change your life.
Sincerely,
Kris Stecker, President

The power of having a professional license is often overlooked, even by the people who hold the license. Having a professional license is one of the most important career moves you can make. You join a very small and elite group that has privileges and advantages that unlicensed people will never enjoy.
Out of thousands of different jobs, very few of them require licenses. Retail, wait staff, office workers, laborers and even executives have no license. This is the vast majority of the population. Doctors, lawyers, nurses cosmetologonists, massage therapists and aestheticians all share the advantages of being licensed.
Licensure makes it more difficult for other people to enter the profession. This automatically increases the value of what you do. It protects what you can earn and also increases your credibility in the eyes of your clients. You have shown that you can do something that requires skill and understanding that goes beyond what the average person can do.
I can’t find data to back this up but if you notice, the majority of people who are laid off from work are mostly people who do not have licenses. Office staff, engineers, sales people, management and laborers are the majority of the people who are downsized or their jobs are exported to other countries. Professionally licensed jobs can’t be sent over seas. Things may be slower at times, but by having a license you pretty much can create whatever future you want.
How does this fit into your future prosperity? The answer is simple. An important part of prosperity is having the ability to consistently earn income at a higher rate of pay. A professional license practically guarantees security and higher pay than unlicensed work.
What’s interesting is the number of people who are in the process of training to get their professional license in cosmetology, massage, or aesthetics who do not recognize the earning power and status the license gives them. To fully understand, the best thing to do is to talk to people who have a license and see how it changed their life. You will hear many amazing stories.
The most important thing you can do to secure your future earning power is to get your professional license and never let it go. Even if you take time out to raise children or deal with other life events, your professional license is the most powerful asset you own. Never forget this. Always keep it current and build on it over time. If you move to a new state, get your license ASAP based on reciprocity. But don’t let it lapse. It’s your ticket to creating the life you want.
