How has your first quarter of 2006 been? Have you changed your job? Changed your business? Changed your life? XL Results Foundation had a historic month in March, with the launch of the XL Social Enterprise Accreditation Plan. Providing recognition to Social Enterprises, this system has a target to reach $one hundred million in annual donations by 2020. In this first year, our target was to attain $2 million in pledges from participating companies. Within a week of its launch at the Entrepreneur Business School, the Plan has already attracted more than $14.six million in pledges from participating companies, surpassing all our expectations.
This weeks newsletter is about the origins of Wealth Dynamics, and how such magic takes place:
THE ORIGINS OF WEALTH DYNAMICS
All guys are created equal
- Thomas Jefferson, 1776
Very same, exact same, but various
- Popular Thai Expression, 2006
Wealth Dynamics, the profiling program for entrepreneurs, is based on a basic premise that we are not produced equal. We all have innate qualities that set us apart, and it is precisely in these variations that we discover our distinctive path and contribution in life.
More than 20,000 entrepreneurs have taken the Wealth Dynamics test in the last five years, providing them a focus on what they should and shouldnt be undertaking to stick to their natural path of action and attraction. Every of the eight Wealth Dynamics profiles has its own game with various rules, teams, strategies, winning formulas and losing formulas. Each and every identifies the frequency at which you operate in life exactly where you find out your flow and tune in to your purpose. Those who have taken the test have identified an intuitive resonance with their path.
If these frequencies fit so naturally, where did they come from? When had been they first identified? And why didnt we understand all this at college?
Ahead of we became so busy soon after the invention of such factors as TVs, combustion engines and electrical energy, folks seemed to have a lot more time to contemplate the planet we reside in. The most evolved and influential civilization five,000 years ago was Ancient China, which, according to Chinese mythology, was ruled by 3 mythical sovereigns till about 2,800BC. The 1st of these, Heavenly King Fu Xi, developed the I Ching which became Chinas Oracle for the next four,800 years. Whilst Fu Xi was mythical, the I Ching is quite real. It evolved more than four dynasties and two,000 years prior to becoming the basis for Chinas two central philosophies, Taoism and Confucianism in 600BC. These have influenced wide ranging locations to this day, from Buddhism, and Feng Shui to our formalized family, government and legal systems.
In the beginning there was as but no moral or social order. Then came Fu Xi who looked upward and contemplated the pictures in the heavens, and looked downward and contemplated the occurrences on earth. He united man and wife, regulated the 5 stages of modify, and laid down the laws of humanity. He devised the eight trigrams, in order to gain mastery over the planet.
From the I Ching.
The I Ching is an incredibly profound insight into the nature of our place in this universe. Translated as The Book of Alterations, it is primarily based on the observation that almost everything flows from a dynamic balance of opposites, that time changes in nature as a result of this flow, and that inside these ever-changing tides there is an immovable, ultimate path for every single of us. (The Tao, means The Way). The I Ching is more than a philosophical thesis. The I Ching is an incredibly intricate study and mapping of time a mapping equivalent to the mapping of DNA. When the 64 codons of DNA have been identified in the 1990s, we had the building blocks to decode the genetic sequence of all living factors. So too, when the I Ching mapped time four,800 years earlier, it gave Chinese masters a extensive method to decode time.
In the I Ching, 64 Hexagrams combining Yin and Yang make up the whole DNA of time (and power). These interplay with the five elements of spot (and matter): Wood, fire, earth, metal and water. The philosophy behind this code is based on the well-known circular image of the Taiji: The perpetual interplay of Yin & Yang, Night & Day, Male & Female. The universe was observed as a continual flux, and we have the chance to reside in resonance with this flux by understanding it and following our path inside it, or to be in a constant battle against it. (A lot as a fantastic surfer picks the proper wave not by riding the wave, but by reading the ocean).
As we are born from power to matter, we take on varying qualities of the very first four elements, and it is this mixture that defines our differences. Wealth Dynamics follows nearly all modern psychometric testing, which requires its roots from the I Ching with one particular extremely substantial distinction
The I Ching remained inaccessible to the Western Planet for the initial four,000 years of its life. This changed in 1911 when Richard Wilhelm, a German missionary and scholar in China, met Lao Nai-hsuan, a Chinese sage in the I Ching. Lao believed it was time for the Western planet to find out of the I Ching, and from 1913 to 1921 the two of them worked together at translating the intricacies of the I Ching into German. Lao died in 1921 as soon as the translation was completed, and Wilhelm took the translation back to Germany.
It was here that he met psychoanalyst, Carl Jung. Jung had been Sigmund Freuds understudy for six years, and he had fallen out with his mentor more than differences in their views of the unconscious. Whilst Freud believed that we are the result of our family and social conditioning, Jung believed we are born with inherent traits. When Wilhelm showed Jung his translation of the I Ching, it had a profound effect on Jung, to the extent that Jung wrote the introduction to the book and helped to get the I Ching published. From the I Ching and his conversations with Wilhelm, Jung gained a new clarity into the nature of character kinds:
For the first time this profoundest perform of the Orient was introduced to the West in a living and comprehensible fashion. What he told me, out of his wealth of expertise of the Chinese mentality, clarified some of the most tough difficulties that the European unconscious had posed for me.
Carl Jung
Jungs new insights led to the basis of Jungian psychological typing, which subsequently led to psychometric testing models such as Myers-Briggs and DISC profiling. These tests take the nature of opposites in the 1st 4 Chinese elements: Wood/Spring, Fire/Summer season, Earth/Autumn and Metal/Winter, and relate them to introversion/extroversion, intuitive/sensory and so on. Myers-Briggs eight pairings of kinds match the eight principal trigrams of the I Ching. To this extent, Wealth Dynamics shares a common supply in Carl Jung. So why must we go back to the I Ching? What did Jung miss in his typing model?
The important distinction in Wealth Dynamics to other psychometric tests is in its relation to time and the fifth element, water. Jung discarded the fifth element as it did not fit into the Western model of 4 static elements. As a outcome, he ended with a static model of the unconscious primarily based on four elements, exactly where time simply played a cause-and-effect part in life. This was ugly and incomplete, and Jung knew it.
Jung turned his consideration to the intentional coincidences and total inter-connectedness of all items that the I Ching philosophy not only allowed, but anticipated. This led to him building and naming two ideas which these days are well recognized: The universal unconscious, and synchronicity (a term he utilized for the initial time at Richard Wilhelms funeral in 1930). He built this into a full theory of synchronicity in 1952, but he by no means managed to reconcile this operate on the flow of time and consciousness with his static psychological typing, and he died in 1961.
To this day, Jungian character testing treats our character traits as static elements with small relationship to levels of consciousness or spirit. By contrast, in Wealth Dynamics spirit is crucial as it is our entrepreneurial spirit that will decide our wealth.
Even though contemporary science and spirit have usually been divided in the West, the East has constantly taken a much more holistic view that time, matter and spirit are necessarily interconnected. Whilst the four Greek elements are based on physical elements, the five Chinese components are not elements at all, but states of change. Fire does not refer to fire, but the state that fire is in when it warms. Wood does not refer to the wood in trees, but the state that wood is in when it grows. The five Chinese components could much more accurately be described as: Grow (Wood), Glow (Fire), Slow (Earth), Know (Metal) and Flow (Water). Even though Western culture has focused on a static physical planet, with changes primarily based on result in-and-impact (until the advent of quantum mechanics), Chinese culture has always focused on states of alter, where nothing is static and exactly where we encounter completely various realities in the context of our state of alter in any moment in time.
Wealth Dynamics refers to these 5 states as frequencies. When we tune in to our frequency (and we all have a dominant frequency), we expertise a various reality, and we commence to attract the right men and women, resources and possibilities as if by luck. Many men and women get in touch with this our flow. Not surprisingly, flow is what we locate in water, the fifth element. As we follow the techniques to resonate with our all-natural frequency, we increasingly tune into and knowledge flow.
"These coincidences, which Jung termed synchronicity, are confident signs you are in the flow Flow is a harmony of being that has been sought soon after via the centuries in the spiritual traditions of the planet. In the East, it has been linked to the Tao, the underlying interconnectedness of the Universe. In our lives, flow is clear in these occasions when issues come about effortlessly, every little thing falls into spot, obstacles melt away, and our timing is ideal. In these times, we feel a deep sense of harmony and underlying order. We know we are in the right location, at the proper time, performing precisely the appropriate issue."
- Charlene Belitz & Meg Lundstrum, The Energy of Flow
Flow is not an ethereal idea in Wealth Dynamics, but an achievable state, reached by means of a all-natural step-by-step path that each and every of us can tread - since many have tread the path ahead of us. (four,800 years prior to us, in fact).
The end objective of Wealth Dynamics is not just to know your profile. It is to determine your path, to tune in to your flow, and to fulfill your correct prospective.
As far as we can discern, the sole goal of human existence
is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere getting.
- Carl Jung (1875 - 1961)

AND Lastly
You will not see Paul Newman on the list of Hollywood best earners, but Newman has provided away more than $200 million much more than most of todays most profitable Hollywood actors have ever made. He didnt make that income from films. He produced it from salad dressing.
He started his business, Newmans Own on a wager that people wouldnt buy his salad dressing. From day 1, he declared that all profits would go to charity. In the 1st year, Newmans Own was successful enough to donate close to $1 million to charity. By 2006, the organization had reached an astounding $200 million in donations to charities.
Whats a lot more, the success of Newmans Personal has considering that catapulted Newmans involvement in philanthropy to an totally new level. Newmans encounter inspired him to launch the Committee to Encourage Corporate Philanthropy (CECP) in 1999. In the 5 years since launch, the CECP has encouraged corporate providing in America. These days, the CECP is chaired by Citigroups CEO, Sandy Weill, and the membership list is a whos who of Americas top CEOs and Chairmen, representing firms that gave over $7 billion to charities in 2005.
Newmans uncompromising strategy to producing a distinction is summed up in the slogan of his firm, Newmans Own:
Shameless Exploitation in Pursuit of the Common Excellent
If Butch Cassidy can have this kind of accomplishment, what can you obtain? What will you modify in the coming quarter? Change the dressing? Change the channel? Adjust the globe?
Belief, courage, action
