I sourced the following book summary, from a terrific letter at this page – Busting Loose from The Business Game. I couldn’t have said it better myself, so I decided to simply use that letter to let you know about this excellent resource…

Business profits, the economy, and your water bill are all illusions – they aren’t real – they’re just like cleverly crafted Hollywood special effects – a bold viewpoint from Robert Scheinfeld, known as “the wild man of self help.”

Over the last 20 years, Transformational Coach Robert Scheinfeld has helped thousands of people all over the world “bust loose” from their perceptions and limited experiences of “reality.”

In Scheinfeld’s new book, Busting Loose from The Business Game: Mind-Blowing Strategies for Recreating Yourself, Your Team, Your Customers, Your Business and Everything in Between, (Wiley, June 22, 2009), he addresses how the “Old” Business Game is ruling our lives and making us miserable, overwhelmed and afraid. He teaches us how to play The New Business Game. Those who choose to play The New Business Game experience True financial freedom, joy, relaxation, fun and abundance versus the “fake” success most people seek.

True Success in business isn’t about the size of your profits, dominance of your chosen niche, your personal income or net worth. It’s about the amount of freedom you have and the enjoyment you get from what you’re doing. “The path to True Success,” Scheinfeld says, “isn’t about what happens in the world that appears to be outside of you, it’s about happens in the world inside of you.”

Busting Loose from The Business Game is not another book about improving sales, marketing, management, leadership or finance. It’s not about manifestation or how to attract good things through thinking positively. It is about completely redefining your perception of who you really are, what you’re really capable of, and how the world really works. In other words, it is about breaking through “lies” and illusions about business and life that we all accept as true.

This book will help you:

* Achieve extraordinary financial results – without “trying to”
* Continuously fund your ideal lifestyle (whatever that is) with total joy and ease
* Clarify what is real and what is an illusion in your business, career and personal life
* Make your “work life” full of fun challenges, exciting people and meaningful activities
* Eliminate all fear about money and outside forces – like competitors, the economy, stock market, etc.
* Experience True Success and more abundance, power and fun than you ever thought possible

Scheinfeld has experienced the Business Game rat race. He has felt the frustrations, ups, downs, and failures. He has discovered a unique pathway to ending those experiences – completely and permanently. His journey to discovering True Success began when he was only 12-years-old. His tycoon grandfather (founder of Manpower, Inc. – the world’s largest temporary help service and Fortune 150 Company) told him True Success is based on your ability to tap into power in “the invisible world.” Unfortunately his grandfather died before he could finish teaching Robert about the invisible world and other secrets of his success. That led to a 33-year discovery processes in which Robert uncovered the missing pieces to the puzzle.

Through his quest to uncover mysteries of “the invisible world,” he became a multimillionaire (and self-proclaimed stressed-out maniac), plunged $153,000 in debt, and spent seven years struggling before he uncovered the final missing pieces to the mystery his grandfather left him with at such a young age.

As a player of The New Business Game, everything is about fun, creative expression and exploration – with money and “success” being complete non-issues. His book will cause you to see yourself, your career and business in radically different ways, and help you begin playing The New Business Game too. The concepts revealed are so revolutionary that they render the old rules of business obsolete.

Whether you’re miserably overworked, an entrepreneur trapped in your own business, or just terminally bored, Busting Loose from The Business Game is the roadmap to a new and transformational experience of business and success.

Build on positive results.

Create some wins for yourself. Each time you win a little victory over yourself, you create impetus for moving forward even more. It helps you to grow, and become the person you must become, for having that dream live for you. There will be changes, this is inevitable when working toward a big dream and when growing into the person who is to fit such a large dream. Allow, accept and actively encourage that level of personal growth.

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.

“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)

Yes, there is a formula to success that if followed will help guide you towards the achievement of your objectives. And No, the formula is flawed because it cannot take into account every single step you are going to personally take along the journey towards your goals. As we have matured over the course of our lives, we have been conditioned somewhat differently by our peers and environment. This process of maturity, which has been discussed within the MasterMind Matrix, is built upon a unique individual journey that must be corrected and adjusted at each stage or segment that may be leading to a breakdown of the end goal or result you would like to achieve in your life. Make the necessary adjustments, correct these limiting habits, and you will progressively clear a path towards the outcomes you desire to experience in the physical world. On the other hand, neglect these breakdowns and you will consequently push yourself down the Path of Self-Destruction and unfulfilled dreams and desires. Please have a read of The Psychology of Personal Success & Achievement for further information about this topic.

The Blueprint to Success IQ Matrix is designed to guide you along the right path, and will help you to develop empowering daily habits that will instill the necessary patterns of behavior to assist you along your journey towards your goals and objectives. The discussion that follows is presented as a short list of simple steps and guidelines that we must all instill into our psyche if we seek to experience the sensations of “success” within our lives. Follow these steps to the letter, incorporate them into your daily habitual ritualistic patterns of behavior, and you will progressively develop the mental strength that is required to achieve your life’s ambitions.

What is it that motivates you to change?

What is it that motivates you to change the circumstances you are currently facing?

Often, until something drastic happens in life, that causes pain, change is less likely to take place.

How can we get around this pattern?

How can we motivate ourselves for big change in our finances, health, or even relationships with our spouses?

The secret is… “It requires dedicated effort”.

This means that you must abandon your old habits and start with a 180 degree different approach looking into what it is you want in your life.

This is why you need someone to support you physically and mentally to get what you truly want in life. If not, change will be very difficult.

Go ahead and do yourself a favor. Ask yourself the following…

Who are the people in your life that love you and want to see you grow?

Who are the people in life who are willing to do whatever it takes to see you achieve what you want in life?

Who are the people in your life who would like to make the same changes you are making in your life?

Identify them. Tell them the changes you want to make. Ask them for their support. Create a support group. Network with them. Take your life to the next level.

This is how you grow. This is how you are able to achieve success in your life.
