Lots of great posts here, some went very deep (Mystery Lady and a few others) - while others may not have quite gotten the question here. Thanks to everything for posting your comments as they most likely helped others to think more.

And the MAIN goal was to get everything thinking at least, and that is the first step towards improving yourself and your life.

Ricardo Weatherly hit the nail on the head in regards to product creation when he said, “…if I was granted one wish that would come true for one year, it would be to have a product or service that the WORLD just can’t do without.”

When you can accomplish that, wealth will certainly follow. Keeping it going is another story.

Keeping the wealth and using the wealth towards the greater good for mankind can certainly lead to more happiness, success and health. Paul Slater made a good point when he said, “God said: “You’ve been granted one wish and one wish only. Whatever it is you wish for will absolutely come true for you instantly. You could wish to be successful, wealthy, wealthy, powerful, happy or free but you can only pick one.” Solomon chose . . . wisdom.”

 Yes, wisdom is very important, that is why so many wealthy families lose their wealth by the 3rd generation due to lack of wisdom from their inheiritors.

Marie Gervacio had some really good points on happiness, “What is there without happiness? If I had only one wish it would have to be happiness. Happiness attracts health, wealth and success. Happiness is power (power without happiness equals one tortured soul). Let me show you a bit about the power of happiness and it all begins with a smile.

Studies show that smiles ignite chemical reactions in your body to lower blood pressure, improve immune system, take away pain, make you feel good and balance your mood. So being happy actually helps keep me healthy. Being healthy makes it possible to work and play as much as I want.

Smiles make people appear successful and draw other people in. Happiness is a magnet for good things. The positive energy caused by happiness is powerful and can cause me to be as successful as I want to be. Happiness really is an empowering force.”

Well said, and Dr Hein Lambrechts also made some great points on happiness when he said, “…My choice is definitely HAPPINESS. By being happy, you experience a high vibration of energy. According to the Universal laws (especially the LOA), you attract more of the same.

Thsi indicates that you are going to attract more circumstances of the same, i.e. happiness. By being happy, you are going to attract other similar high energy vibrations, like success and wealth (so, even though I didn’t choose it, I will actually still get it). Happiness is freedom. To conclude - Happiness is my choice, because it will result in giving me all of the other.”

Michele Andree Lemieux and Georgie both would like to help others improve their health and wealth, very noble of them.

Judy Lorenz had some more interesting points on happiness, “…The word Happy as we use it today means being at peace with our surroundings, being ambitiously content, being calmly observant to make use of what has been presented to me, being able to let the day develop without my muscle pushing constantly for what might be a sorry outcome. To move forward on my faith, to acknowledge and appreciate those who work around me, to develop generous tolerance.

If I develop happiness as inner contentment, then I will have wisdom to not let success be abusive, to not let wealth be mismanaged, to not destroy my health with worry and stress, I will be free no matter what the everyday politics.”

Nezrul Hisyam said, “...It goes without saying that I choose FREEDOM above all. I love to be free.” but Marge Berkeyheiser really makes you appreciate your freedom (if you do have it) in your own countries when she said, “…Freedom to me is a very special word. It has nothing to do with money or power. It has everything to do with our husbands or wives,sons or daughters,brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles that are dying every day in a land not their own. They have the unselfish duty of protecting this country and this country does not always treat them so nice for there efforts. Freedom by no means is free. The price has been paid with the color of red. Freedom for the year ahead I would like to see not one more death…”

Carmen covered mindset well when she said, “…I don’t believe that these things are external, that they are out of our control. I believe that a person can have all of the things you mentioned, but they have to have the mindset to accept these things into their lives…”

 Again, lots of great ideas and comments, HOWEVER, Yvonne Gamache and John Turner seem to be the only ones who answered the task given by explaining how they would be better off in 12 months time with their business by using what they chose.

While they both explained how their business would be better off by the end of 12 months, Yvonne’s answer was not as detailed as John’s and she also lost 1 point by adding in some self promotion at the end of her post (sorry:))

So the winner of the $100 Amazon Gift Certificate for this round is John Turner….congratulations! We’ll be in touch with you on how to claim your prize.

We would like to encourage you to read all the comments given and to keep adding your own ideas. Check back here soon for the next think and win question:)

Watch The Next Internet Millionaire Episode II

Branding your business was the topic of episode II, this is something we have been getting more serious about ourselves in our own businesses. You may notice the SFW logo on the top left which has been there since we opened up end of 2004. We are also doing a lot of research in regards to branding for our other products and services as well.

This is something you should definitely consider for your own business. A good legal team can really help you out with trademarks and copyright issues as well.

What did you think of the contestants and Joel’s judgment at the end?

Who do you think has the most potential on the show?

I can pretty much already tell a few people who I would NOT want to do a JV with, maybe Joel feels the same way.:) Working as a team can be quite challenging, I know as we have over 20 people on our own team and it’s important to get everyone on the same page. Best thing you can do with a team is to utilize the talents each member can contribute.

Quick tip: Don’t ask your programmers to do your marketing and don’t ask your admin support to manage your websites.:)

Read each word again, what feelings or emotions come to you as you read them?

Success…Health…Wealth…Power…Happiness…Freedom…

Really think about this for a minute or two and think about what it is you really want.

Maybe you would like to be successful; everything you have tried just never works out and you’re frustrated as hell from pulling your hair out. Wouldn’t it be nice to just be successful for once you may be thinking to yourself?

Or maybe you would give anything to lose that extra 20 pounds and be able to feel the vigorous energy of youth again. Quit smoking, over drinking and whatever vises you may have. You’d be turning heads as you walk down the street because you look so good.

Or could it be you just want your freedom again, to be able to never have to live by a schedule again. To quit your job, leave your business and live the lifestyle of your dreams.

Now here’s hypothetical question for you…

You’ve been granted one wish and one wish only. Whatever it is you wish for will absolutely come true for you instantly. You could wish to be successful, healthy, wealthy, powerful, happy or free but you can only pick one.

But, here’s the deal, you have 1 year in which to use that which was granted to you to grow your business to the point where you can walk away from it and it will continue to pay you enough passive income, every month, for the rest of your life to live the lifestyle of your dreams. The amount could be $5,000 a month, $50,000 a month or $1 million dollars a month…whatever it takes to live your ideal lifestyle.

If you do not accomplish this task, your wish will be taken away and everything you accomplished in that year will be reversed.

What would you wish for and how would you use it to accomplish the task?

To make things more interesting, the best answer by August 31st gets a $100 Amazon gift certificate. (To qualify your answer should be at least 50 words, be honest and be one that shows the most promise.)

Answers can be as long as you want but the real point of this is to get you to think about what you really want and how you would use it to improve your business and life.
