Workamper Dreamers

There are three ways people fall on their dreams.  Many fall down, and then refuse to stand back up.  As a result, they eventually end up giving up on their dreams.  Others fall backward, and take their dreams backward with them.  Only truly successful dreamers find a way to fall forward.  They take the setbacks and learn from them – then work on the next priority that will continue to push them forward.

Over the past months I have been sharing with you the Four Steps to Workamper Freedom Series.  This series is available to all Workamper Dreamer subscribers.  As of today, the first two steps have been produced and recorded and are available online.  The third step called the Terror Barrier will be available by the end of July.

I hope you are continuing to fall forward with your dreaming.  If not, readjust your actions, review the Four Steps to Freedom Series and begin again.  Take your setbacks and let them become learning tools instead of coffin nails for your dreams.

If you have not become a Workamper Dreamer subscriber, take that first step today by going to:  http://dreamers.workamper.com .

Until next time…

Hey Dreamers,

I have heard from many readers this past week wondering what happened to the recent posts on Workamper Dreamers.  I was perplexed with the input as the posts appeared just fine upon inspection.  I use Firefox as my browser of choice and had no problem viewing all 247 posts to Workamper Dreamers.  Then I fired up Internet Explorer, the newest version and found that with their recent updated version they were blocking the text of my posts since I drafted them in Microsoft Word and they included formatting that the NEW Internet Explorer will not accept. So with that said, I will make sure from now on that I am posting to the Workamper Dreamers in plain text, which should take care of the issue until possibly the next Internet Explorer update.

If you missed out on any of the past posts I would highly recommend the free download of Firefox and then go to:  http://dreamers.workamper.com/blog and view any you may have missed.

My very last post was about Dream Vampires.  Who would have thought that Internet Explorer could fall into that category!

On another subject, many of you who have become Workamper Dreamers have already activated your Workamper Plus bonus subscription so you can view the online magazine and a have access to all of the other tools.  Once you did this you were moved into our base of active subscribers. 

This past week we started the explanatory ad campaign promoting the NEW Club Workamper.  This is our NEW Membership program that has been in the works for many months.  Over the past 22 years Workamper News has simply provided a subscription service to our bi-monthly magazine and our online websites.  We have not been a membership organization, but simply a subscription to a magazine.  We have had many requests over the past years to develop something more advanced, allowing Workampers who desired to move to a different level of connection and Workamper education.  That is what we are launching on August 4th.  This program will not be of interest to everyone, but will be something you may want to look at as you continue your dreaming process about living the Workamper lifestyle.  At this time you are in one of the best places you can be, if you have activated your Workamper Dreamers subscription and have started the educational learning process.  Thousands of Workamper News subscribers will continue as they have over the years reading our magazine and utilizing our online resources with great success.  So by no means is it a must for everyone!

I wanted to provide a heads-up as there will be more informational emails coming out this week and as we go into the Charter Membership launch day of Wednesday, August 4th, 2010.

Until later…

Hello Dreamer,

I hope this post finds you in dream mode as you sit and read. Today, as in everyday our world has thousands of messages being broadcast that will work hard to shift your paradigm and crush your dream thoughts. Not a very inspirational beginning for this post, but one that I felt was needed for this day.

Each day you will experience well intentioned individuals in your life that want to give you advice. Close friends and families whom you have shared your dream thoughts with over the past weeks. They will most times unintentionally begin to spread the gloom and doom thoughts they pickup from the television or newspapers, or even worse the exaggerated gossip input from the coffee shop. They are caught up in the victim mentality and they don’t have their own dreams to think about and share with you. So, they become your dream vampire. With all of the negative news that the media puts out every day (most of which you can live without) they are slowly hammering nails into you dream coffin. Like I said, most people don’t realize what they are doing, and if they knew better they would not do it to a friend, and definitely not to themselves.

You Mr. or Ms. Dreamer on the other hand are in a different place! By this time you have begun your journey, or if you are just beginning, you are on a road that will lead you down a much more interesting path. You don’t have to allow the dream vampires to suck your dreams out of you and bring you down to waddle with the turkey population in our world.

Hopefully you have experienced the first two steps to the Four Steps to Workamper Freedom series. With you new found understanding of what it means to remain in Bondage to life and the process of Reason and how it allows you to develop your dreams and move out of Bondage, you are ahead of the crowd. You are working on your dream and moving forward in developing your knowledge and understanding about your dreams, and determining how and when you can bring them to fruition in your life.

The dream vampire is going to tell you that with the current economy and the changes coming in legislation no one will be able to afford to live in the future. Suck ….Suck….Suck… the vampire is at work every time YOU allow them to get their teeth into you. It is your choice of what you listen to. Who you spend your precious time with each day. What you allow into your paradigm.

You must make hard decisions regarding who you are going to spend your time with each day. What influences you are going to allow into your life. These are some of the most important decisions you will ever make when it comes to your dream development. You can gently remove yourself from conversations with sucking vampires by excusing yourself from a conversation. Don’t plan outings with vampires who will leave you literally drained at the end of the evening. Make a decision to let them pray on someone else. This may sound unfriendly, but why would you want to continue to associate with people who are always bringing you down!

This gets a bit trickier if you happen to be living with the vampire. You must begin gently a mode of education that will take some time to be effective. For example, instead of sitting and watching a local news cast where they tell you about the latest murders and crimes in your city, excuse yourself to go read or do something else constructive that will feed your paradigm with positive input. Sounds simple, but you will find it takes effort. You don’t realize that the TV is one of our greatest dream vampires. Especially the shocking formats they like to use regarding the latest killing, or government scandal. Suck…Suck…Suck.

So dreamer today is your day! Make a decision and begin to move away from the dream vampires in your life. You will find over a short period of time that you really are not missing much, and if some bit of news is really important, you will find out about it soon. Most of the time what you will be filling your conscious mind with will be hundreds of times more nourishing to your paradigm.

Until later…

Sounds like a great title for a book I should write! You may be surprised at the title, and I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me that you don’t understand the title. Last week I either introduced you to or re-introduced you to a book resource titled, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. This is one book you must read if you have not, and if you have long ago, it is time to get it off the shelf and blow the dust off of it.

If you do not have a copy you can easily get one at Amazon.com. Just click the book cover in the resource wheel to the right and you will be taken right to the Amazon.com order page.

This book has been time tested over decades since it was written and it is as applicable today as it was when Hill wrote it back in the early 1900’s. What many people have falsely believed about the book is that it is only about making money. That is sadly where so many miss the message. The secrets within Think and Grow Rich when applied will assist you in developing anything in your life you classify as riches. It is up to the user to determine the definition of riches and of what value they will be in their lives.

This past Friday I had the opportunity to be away from the office and to visit the Corps of Engineers operation at Beaver Lake, Rogers, Arkansas. We are working on the upcoming September/October issue of Workamper News magazine in which we highlight a Corps of Engineers project. This year we are highlighting the Beaver Lake project.

The purpose of my visit was to meet and interview two or three groups of Workampers currently working for the Beaver Lake project. I was so energizing to sit under the tall pine trees and visit with Gene & Pat Hamm, who have been living the Workamper lifestyle for over 30 years. For the majority of their Workamping years they have worked for the Corps of Engineers. Gene, currently 82 years old is on his second year of a three year contract. They are not sure whether they will submit for a new contract in 2012 or not, but will take it one year at a time. What an attitude and energy for 82 years of age.

So what does this have to do with riches? Gene & Pat and the two other couples I met on Friday parroted the same words of wealth that I have heard from thousands of Workampers over the years. They are not necessarily rich in material wealth, even though they are living in one of the most beautiful areas, but they went on about the hundreds of friends and acquaintances they have made over the past 30 years.

They reinforced what I have been preaching about the Workamping lifestyle for years – it isn’t about the pay, or the work that you do when living the Workamping lifestyle. Your riches come from your experiences of living in a variety of geographic locations that you never would have had to opportunity to experience if you stayed in your sticks and bricks. But even more important than that, is the relationships you develop over the years that far exceed any monetary riches. When it is all said and done, it is not about the dollars in your bank account, but the lives that you have touched and who have touched yours.

I left Beaver Lake with a re-confirmation of what the Workamping lifestyle can provide for those who activate their dream to live the lifestyle. It was an awesome day and one that I am richer for experiencing.

So don’t wait any longer. Get your copy of Think and Grow Rich and begin to apply the secrets found within its pages to your dream of living the Workamper lifestyle or any dream you may have for your life.

Until next time…

I have just finished this week a great book by Robert Ringer, titled ACTION! Nothing Ever Happens Until Something Moves! This book falls right into line with anyone who has a dream and is contemplating the steps necessary to move towards that dream.

Author Robert Ringers Insight No:1 found on page 14 of the book is the premise of his entire book and is taken from someone whom we all know of, unless you have been living under a rock all of your life! Albert Einstein has been quoted to have said years ago, “Nothing happens until something moves.” Einstein is credited with being one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century. He is known for the Theory of Relativity and many other works, but with respect to our subject of dreams, his action statement is right on.

I highly encourage you to obtain a copy of Robert Ringers book and develop a better understanding of why the absence of action is one of the key reasons for so many missing out on their dreams. He discusses the various types of action that will most likely challenge your thoughts about action and your past history of taking action.

The author concludes his book with a chapter titled “The Endgame of Action: Happiness.” This chapter brought the entire book together for this reader. I felt a combination of emotions while reading this book. I have no doubt that you will also.

If you are a frequent reader of this blog you may be thinking – Is Steve trying to turn me into a book worm! You are right, I am. There is so much to be learned by reading the words and thoughts of others, found in books.

Just the other day a Workamper Dreamer subscriber sent me an email that in summary was saying that he finished his schooling years ago, and did not want or need to read another book. As I shared with this dreamer, he has fallen into the mind trap that so many do, where they believe their education was over when they graduated. Someone once said that all graduates should really take a look at the meaning of the word commencement. It is far from the end, but actually the opportunity to begin living and learning about life.

I am asking you to commence your learning process if you have let it go stale. If you are already continuing the process or just re-activating, please take me up on the suggested readings and don’t just read them, devour them.  You can easily find them on amazon.com by clicking the links to the right.  They will be in your mailbox within days and you’re taking ACTION.

As Robert Ringer states, until something moves. Your dreams will remain just thoughts unless you take the ACTION to move them forward. Only you can do this for yourself!

With all of the above said I am so excited with the number of dreamers who are moving their dreams forward by learning and developing plans to take their dreams and put them in action.

Take Action today and move your dreams forward!

Until later…

Just as you are dreaming of experiencing the Workamping lifestyle, I too have many dreams and goals for my future. Many of my goals are related to providing you and the thousands of others who have similar dreams to experience America one job at a time with the education and resources to turn your dream into reality.

There is a resource that many of you may have read at one time in your life. To others this work will be brand new. It was written decades ago and is applicable today as it was in the early 1900’s. The author Napoleon Hill spent over 20 years bringing these concepts and now accepted laws for success to paper. The name of the book is “Think and Grow Rich.” Now, don’t turn me off just yet. You may have read this book, and got nothing from it! You may be thinking, this is just another get rich scheme and here we go! You don’t know what to think at this moment! Why is Steve bringing up some book on becoming rich??????

The time tested information in this book has proven its value and validity over and over in the thousands of lives of men and women. The title just so happens to be Think and Grow Rich. It could just as easily be Think and Grow Happy, or Think and Grow Your Dreams, or anything you would like to interject on the end. They all can become reality if you will take to heart the philosophy shared in this great book.

I would like to share with you the publishers preface of “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and then I encourage you to find the book on the reference listing to the right and order your copy today. You may want to go check your bookshelf first, as it might be long forgotten on your very own bookshelf.

I would like to share with you the quoted publisher’s preface from “Think and Grow Rich.”

“Think and Grow Rich is one of the most influential books of all time in pointing the way to personal achievement – to financial independence and to riches of the spirit beyond measurement in money.

There has never been another book like it, nor ever can be. It was inspired by Andrew Carnegie who disclosed his formula of personal achievement to the author, Napoleon Hill, many years ago. Carnegie not only made himself a multi-millionaire, but he made millionaires of more than a score of men to whom he taught his secret. Another 500 wealthy men revealed the source of their riches to Napoleon Hill, who has spent a lifetime of research in bringing their message to people in all walks of life who are willing to give their thoughts, ideas, and organized plans in return for riches.

Thousands of people have applied the famous philosophy of this book for their own enrichment. Its secrets are as timeless and practical as when the first edition of Think and Grow Rich was published. In this, the latest edition, the philosophies and formulas which lead to success are made available to all who greatly desire to make money and to attain the rich spiritual satisfactions that achievement brings.

Think and Grow rich is pre-eminently a “what-to-do and how-to-do-it book. In it you will find the magic of self-direction, organized planning, auto-suggestion, master-mind association, an amazingly revealing system of self-analysis, detailed plans for selling your personal services, and a wealth of other specific helps from the experience of great mean who have proved their value.

The riches within your grasp cannot always be measured in money. There are great riches in lasting friendships, harmonious family relationships, sympathy and understanding between business associates, and inner harmony which brings peace of mind measurable only in spiritual values.

The philosophy of Think and Grow Rich will prepare you to attract and enjoy these higher estates which always have been and always will be denied to all except those who are ready for them..

Be prepared, when you being to put the philosophy of Think and Grow Rich into action, for a changed life which will not only ease the trials and stresses of living but will also prepare you for the accumulation of material riches in abundance.”

I believe and have experienced the value of Hills philosophies in my life. I know that through the application steps he provides you in the book, you can attain the riches that the Workamping lifestyle holds for you, or any lifestyle for that matter.

Take that next step in your dream today. Get this book and re-read it today or read it for the first time. It will be like an entirely new book to you today, even if you read it years ago. Simply put you are in a different receptive mode today, as compared to the last time you read the book.

Over the coming weeks we will discuss the six ways to turn your desires into gold.

So continue to dream and develop your goals to live the Workamping lifestyle through the philosophy of Think and Grow Rich.

Until next time…

Today many are on holiday vacation celebrating the 4^th of July – the American day of Independence on an extended three day weekend. If that is you, enjoy your day. While enjoying some time off, or even if you not, take some time to think about what your independence means to you.

The mission of this blog is to assist you in developing your dream to one day experience the Workamping lifestyle. This is possible because we have the freedom to dream! How awesome is that, and sadly something that we all take for granted at times!

How awesome it is that… you have the freedom to decide the direction you wish to point your RV. The freedom to drive your RV down the highway to your chosen destination. The freedom to take a position working in a location, that is of interest to you. A position that will help you continue your Workamping dream.

Today before you close your eyes to sleep, I encourage you to raise your thoughts of thanks to the service men and women who have served our country in the past, and are serving us today. They have paid the price for the freedom we enjoy.

Now it is your job to take that freedom that has been bought for you and to begin living your dreams to the greatest level possible.

Seize the day!

Until later…

This week we have recorded ten short video’s that anyone who is considering the Workamper lifestyle should view. Each short video covers one question that anyone should be asking themselves. The goal in providing such questions is to encourage you further into your action of dream development.

The number one question you should be asking yourself: Is this my dream, or someone else’s?

It is amazing how others can influence our thinking! The key is to make sure that your dreams are your own!

Over the coming days we will be make the ten videos available on the Workamper Dreamers site. Take time over this long holiday weekend coming up to check them out and to do some dream evaluation.

Have an awesome holiday weekend and remember to celebrate our independence! It is our independence in America that gives us the freedom to dream!

Until next time…
