 ULTRA Pro Coaching
 
Universal Laws Triggered by Right Actions 

What specific ACTIONS are necessary to get RESULTS?

Small Group Coaching:  Participants learn how Universal Laws Triggered by Right Action produce predictable results. “It’s not what you know that makes the difference, it’s what you apply.” You'll learn to take the necessary actions to trigger universal principles governing your success that allow the right people and situations to be drawn to you.

“Business is nothing other than serving others materially in the best possible way.”  When truly serving others is at the heart of your business motives, you have spiritualized your ambitions and triggered the universal laws to help you succeed.  This program is offered in San Diego and Orange Counties by Andrew Barden.  Learn more about him here.  Read testimonials here.  Read more about ULTRA Pro Coaching here.

 Give For the Common Good


Among other laws of prosperity, giving at least 10% (after taxes) of your personal income to non-profit organizations is a key law to apply in your financial planning.  Join us in learning how to share your wealth with the most worthy charities both locally and globally... and how to save on your taxes in the process.  How your invest your money also matters.  We recommend only those investment funds that help companies whose policies are governed by strict moral codes.  Or maybe you have a favorite charity that you'd like us to consider in our members' estate planning or corporate giving?  One simple way to donate to your favorite charity is to set as your search engine:  www.goodsearch.com. 

Another way of looking at philanthropy is to see one's business first and foremost as a means to be of service to humanity.  When large-heartedness is one's primary motive in business, one cannot help but attain a large base of loyal clients.  "Givers gain."

Our philanthropic philosophy stems from the guidance of one of the greatest minds of modern time:

“We should make money by serving, not only to get something for ourselves in return, but also for the sake of acquiring money to use in creating institutions that will serve public needs.  When one has made a great deal of money by helping to make others prosperous, and then uses that wealth for helping people to help themselves in higher ways, that is spiritualizing ambition.  It is only by having ambition and crowning it with the ideal of service that materially ambitious people will find a spiritual reason for making money.  When we serve others we serve ourselves.  Instead of thinking, “I will help others,” think, “I will help my own, I will help my world, because I cannot otherwise be happy."

Life should be chiefly service.  Without that ideal, the intelligence that God has given you is not reaching out toward its goal.  When in service you forget the little self, you will feel the big Self of Spirit.  As the vital rays of the sun nurture all, so should you spread rays of hope in the hearts of the poor and forsaken, kindle courage in the hearts of the despondent, and light a new strength in the hearts of those who think that they are failures.  When you become filled with the joy of making others happy by giving them kindness and peace, in God’s eyes your life is a success.”  

-Paramahansa Yogananda
