Michael E. Parker VS Oprah Round #4

Amy/Jean/Oprah say:

Secure your financial freedom. Being smart with money gives you independence, options and a safety net in case of emergencies. Amy says the surest route to financial security is to follow your bliss. "The more you enjoy what you do, the more success you will have, and therefore the more money you will earn ultimately,"

CEO SAYS:

Organize your money first via focused bank accounts. Use a software program to record your cash, expenses and goals. Identify personal spending limits which is money spent for any reason you want. Keep those funds away from funds you need to pay bills with. Keep a journal of all money that comes into your household for any reason. Identify how much money you will allow to be used to increase your wealth with investments or on something you value as an asset or for long term wealth. Take the time to make a household budget and make sure everyone knows the rules. Wealth can be earned through disciplines cash management because it is not what you make but what you KEEP.

So who wins round #4?

Do you like both forms of advice?

Michael E. Parker VS Oprah Round #3

Amy/Jean/Oprah say:

3. Walk through the world with confidence. When you exude confidence and believe in yourself, you will attract success into your life, Amy says. "If I put the energy out there that I am capable, that I am smart, that I am interesting, that I am having a good time in my life, then that's what I've always gotten back," Amy says.
Take ownership of your life. Every individual is responsible for securing his or her own happiness and dreams. "Success is a mindset and you just have to prepare yourself to achieve in all areas of your life," Amy says.

CEO SAYS:

In order to think positive you must first learn to believe in yourself. If you do not have a positive view of yourself, then you tend to look at life in a negative way. Remember this equation: How you think + How you feel = the actions you take. Your mind tells you how to think and feel but who really programmed you? Do you act like your mom when you get mad? Are you just like your Dad when something goes wrong? Can you change how you feel by changing how you think? YES! You Are in Charge of YOU! You must consistently send your brain positive messages so it will develop positive emotions which lead to the right actions in your life.

Learn executive life skills from the You Are a CEO program and you will be equip to handle all that life throws at you. You will have the confidence because you have the tools and the real skills to deal with your mind set, your self esteem, your relationships, how you communicate, organizing your spaces, and managing your money which can bring great confidence to your life when you feel financially secure.

What we truly value is what drives us, so you must understand the inner most desiring force that guides your decisions and behavior as a result of learned experiences accumulated over time. So, if you are driven by money, men/women, power, fame, titles and possessions then that is what you will value in both business and in life. You will set up your life and work activities to achieve what you value and often these can collide with those in our lives who may not share what we value and conflicts can arise.

Face your fears but understand where the fear comes from.

Who won this challenge? Or is it a tie?

Michael E. Parker VS Oprah Round #2

Amy/Jean/Oprah's Team Says:

2. Realize your self-worth. The first step toward making any real changes in your life is recognizing your value as a person—imperfections and all. "Accept who you are, be grateful for who you are and then fall in love with the core of who you are," she says.

CEO SAYS:

You must first regard yourself as an asset and a positive contributor to a variety of environments and communities by displaying your abilities and competence, which deals with your concept of self. However, you must always maintain an attitude of thankfulness and a mind for continual self-improvements with out losing your self-respect. If you have self-esteem, you will know how to respect yourself as well as respect for others.

There are 3 basic types of respect: Given (for those in authority), Earned (based on personal experiences, General (general respect for all humanity). Once you understand the three basic types of respect you can become sensitive to the needs, feelings, achievements and responsibilities of others while never losing sight of your own needs, feeling, and capacity to achieve because of who you are and what you stand for.

So who has won this challenge? Who's advice do you prefer and why? They are both great but what rings a bell for you and why?

Michael E. Parker VS. Oprah

If anyone knows me they know my biggest dream is to be on Oprah. When I say be on Oprah, I really mean for Michael E. Parker (not me personally) to be on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Take a look at some of these videos on youtube:

I feel that Oprah is an Icon who helps people but the more and more I attend seminars from Michael E. Parker I wonder are these two actually competitors? Oprah is a talk show host but so is Mr. Parker. Oprah has her own company so does Michael E. Parker, Oprah helps many people deal with their issues but so does Mr. Parker.

However... even Mr. Parker himself would admit we don't have the fan base or the supporters Oprah has but who knows how big he will grow. Recently Mr. Parker was awarded Business of the Year by the Oakland African American Chamber of Commerce and with the success of recent events such as the Biz Tech Expo in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in September '07 I think Mr. Parker is young enough to one day enter at least her arena. But I know I am bias because he has helped me change me life so much.

Just the fact that a 200-300 lbs woman over 40 gets up every morning to tackle her biggest fears is a testament that Michael E. Parker has the ability to change lives through his adult lifeskills411 seminars; especially mine.

So recently one of Oprah's talk radio programs opened up these topics...lets see how they compare with the You Are a CEO program point for point. How it will work is I will post a comment from one of Oprah's guests and compare it to the You Are a CEO program and you can comment or vote for who's advice is better for you. Of course we think the comments from both are great that's why it will be a real challenge to choose.

Here are our two competitors:

Amy DuBois Barnett who shares with Jean Chatzky(An Oprah Winfrey production) the key lessons that she says can help anyone find success in theirs.

VS: Michael E. Parker who has partnered with his Curriculum Director from Lifeskills 411 Mr. Terrance Fulton to form the You Are a CEO program and interpreted by me Julie P.

Tips for a Successful Life Point #1:

Oprah's Crew Amy says:

1. Embrace your fears. Fear is an indication of personal growth, Amy says. Unless you take risks and go outside your comfort zone, you'll never reach your full potential. "That's how you know that you're growing as a person, whether in your professional life or in your personal life," Amy says.

CEO SAYS: The You Are a CEO program says that each person must first become "Personally Aware" of who they are. This means examining your strengths and weaknesses which may include fears. We must understand our emotional patterns which are natural emotions shared by all human beings such as anger, love, laughter, crying, fear, etc. What makes us different from one another is when our emotions are shaped by personal experiences as well as the environments we have been exposed to: affectionate families quiet families, angry environments, abusive environments etc.

The key is to develop emotional intelligence to know our thoughts patterns are shaped by your experiences and values. Some of what we may have learned was simply copied from a family member because we learn how to act and react by copying others and this practice may develop actions or thoughts that are not really be how we may feel or think now.

We must look at our fears and dig deeper to see where do the beliefs we have actually come from? Are these beliefs we developed as a child that perhaps are not founded on who we are now? Can we let go and change how we feel through learning new information? Fear is a normal emotion that keeps us safe and is actually a good thing if used right. Teenagers have not developed their "fear" responses like adults and thus take more risks which get them hurt more often.

WINNER: ????

Amy, do you have more to say?

I do think that Amy/Jean?Oprah are correct in that we should face our fears but also understand that fear is designed to keep you safe from harm and is a good emotion when used properly however unrealistic fears can prevent success.

When my mother retired she came to live with me. I noticed that she is controlled and limited by fear. I dislike that attribute but it serves her and often it keeps her in better situations because she is cautious. Do I want to be her or like her? - NO but I respect her being who she is.
