But, taking several minutes in the short term to learn how it works will most definitely save you an enormous amount of time and money in the long run. Visit: HowitWorks!
Here’s an actual example. On Thursday morning I was attending a conference at a Hotel. One of my clients needed me to send her a video clip (100 MB) as quickly as possible. She has a dropzone account. So I opened my Mac, while eating a muffin and drinking a cup of coffee, located the video file on my desktop, dragged it into my clients Shared File folder. This was at 7:41 am. By 7:43 am she had the file. All she had to do then was open her dropzone account and drag the file to her desktop.
You can do this with virtually any file type, like photos, graphic images, presentations, pdf’s, multiple folders, confidential files and more.
My-DropZone is your personal, private and secure network that you can use to make your life less cluttered and more efficient. Take a few moments and learn how it works and make life easier!

Yesterday, one of our clients needed me to get several video files from a videographer. There were around 14 videos, totally approximately 954 MB. Previously, the videographer had sent these videos on a DVD to our client. This time, I invited him to use our Guest Dropzone to drop me the video files. Here’s a graphic of it:
Okay, so the videographer dropped all 14 videos (954 MB) into this Guest Dropzone and I dragged them out and dropped them to a folder on my desktop for view.
No mailing DVD’s or CD’s. No zipping. No Flash or other external drives. No FTP, and no multiple emails. Just Drag and Drop It!
Do you send photos, graphics, or any other large file to the same person often? If so, the My-DropZone may be a great way to do it. Here’s why. . .
Using our Shared File system you can drop large and or multiple photos directly to your friend, family, colleague, or client.
What’s so special about this method?
It bypasses email. Therefore, you’re only limited by the size of your account, which is 100 MB in the free account. If you go with a 2GB account for just $4 per month, you can drop up to 1 GB at a time!
Why is this different than other services?
It’s all drag and drop. It’s all web-based. You get a full featured account for free with the 100 MB of storage (forever) and upload/download or dropping capabilities of 100 MB. You don’t have to verify that they received your file, since you see it when it arrives. It’s totally secure and private. We use 128/256 bit encryption for all file transfer.
And, here’s the free prize inside. . .you can also use our Drop eMail tool to drag and drop files to others as an attachment or link. This is great for people you send stuff to periodically.
Here’s another free prize. . .you can use our Guest DropZone so others can drop you photos or anything else. See next post for an actual example.
Check us out if you need to send photos online for free or send pictures by email.
Yep, sometimes we have to drop our guard in order to move forward in life. Some people go through their entire life with their guards up. Yes, I do understand why in many cases the person feels that this is necessary. This can prevent them from being hurt again, can help them be more aware of approaching danger and finally, it’s a way of simply holding it all together. Also, we don’t always know who we can trust inside of our personal space.
Those are all legitimate reasons to keep your guard up. But, here’s one for letting it down. Freedom. To be truly free to be, have and do what you are capable of, we must let go of or drop anything that may hold us down or back. Being guarded, usually prevents us from truly getting to know adn love others. It prevents others from being able to fully connect with us. Ultimately, it shortcircuits our ability to fully serve others and thereby be as product as we may want to be. This has direct implications to your relationships, finances, career and health.
Dropping your guard does not mean:
It does mean:
By working on our own esteem, and confidence and seeing ourselves the way our creator sees us, we will be in a better position to embrace others understanding that they will sometimes hurt and disappoint us.

Have you ever tried to do something new, different or big? Like going back to school, starting a new career, getting out of a bad relationship, start your own business, or learn a new language? If so, what happened? Did you accomplish it? Hopefully, your answer is yes. But for those who answered no, at least for some of those goals, you’re not alone.
The big question is what kept you from going after or staying with your vision, dream, or goal? What weighed you down or kept you back? Well, I’ve found that there are about four things that commonly prevent us from doing the things we know we should and can do. They are:
In this brief article, I’m only going to deal with issue #3.
Often we are our own worst enemy. Our own thoughts sabotage us and limit what we are truly capable of. The good news is that we can change our attitudes, thoughts and beliefs about ourself and possibilities, but it does take work. And it all starts with a strong desire or reason for wanting do, be and have more. You’ve probably thought to yourself at some point that you know deep down inside that you are capable of being a better person, giving more to others, earning a better income and living a more fulfilling life that you do now. Well, not until you really get fed up with where you are now will you do something about it.
So get fed up! Decide to drop those weights that are holding you back and keeping you down. To do this let’s understand how we got this way. We have at least two minds. A conscious and sub(un)conscious mind. The conscious mind is the command and control center. It takes in information, analyzes it, makes decisions and directs most of daily activities.
The subconscious mind is very much like a hard disk drive. It has data stored on it since the time of our birth, though much of it we don’t recall. This mind controls our automatic functions like walking, breathing and other daily functions that we do not think about consciously. It also stores all of your previous experiences, thoughts and attitudes and input from the outside world. This data helps form our beliefs about about who we are, what can do and who we can become. The wonderful news is that the data in this mind can be changed by us. That means, if there is something we don’t like about ourselves, like habits, attitudes, educational level, abilities, etc. we can change it.
For more than 20 years I was a severe stutterer. I could barely talk sometimes. It was embarrassing and made me feel inferior quite often. It was like walking around with a heavy weight on my shoulders 24/7. I was constantly in fear of when I would embarrass myself next. Then one day I did some soul searching and asked myself what I really wanted to do with the rest of my life. What did I feel called to do, to contribute to this world? The answer was, help others become all they are capable of becoming. Help then become more productive. About this time I stumbled upon the idea I just explained to you about the conscious and subconscious minds and it changed my life.
When I discovered that I could literally drop the belief that I was a stutterer and form a new belief that I was an excellent speaker, I was, to say the least, very excited 
This could and would change my entire life and enable me to do what I was called to do. In addition to my technology business, I also teach and speak regularly and this is very fulfilling, since it takes advantage of my natural talents and abilities and helps fulfill my call.
So, here’s the powerful technique I used to change my life. Every day, at least 50 to 100 times per day, I said the following words to myself. . .
That’s it. It took several months for these new beliefs to kick in, but eventually they did. Essentially what I did was rewrite the data on my hard disk drive, I reprogrammed my subconscious mind. Now it doesn’t matter if you believe in this or not, it is the way our mind works and therefore it is true whether we accept it or not.
While saying those powerful statements to myself, I also began to practice making presentations and later went out and offered my services for free to college students. This entire process of moving from being a stutterer to a public speaker took about a year. The process was very difficult, but well worth it.
So what do you feel called to do? And, what’s keeping you from doing it? What is your vision for your life? What goals would you like to accomplish over the next few years? What ever it is, identify what’s holding you down and just drop it so that you can move forward and into a life that makes the most of who you really are capable of being. Remember, whatever gifts you have are to be shared with others and the longer you don’t share them, more others are lacking and not becoming all that they can be.
Thanks for reading this and I hope these ideas are as helpful to you as they have been for me.

We all have baggage. The question is, do we continue to carry it around and let it slow us down, or do we begin to unpack it or better still, lay it down completely? Some of us may need to unpack bit by bit. And, that’s okay, if that’s the way you need to get rid of unwanted hurts and experiences that are keeping you from moving forward as quickly as you would like. Others may be able to lay the entire suitcase down all at once.
We’ve all been hurt and we have hurt others. Either intentionally or by accident. What we must understand is that in order to become the people we are capable of being, we will need to take full, that is 100% responsibility for feelings, actions and responses from here on. Whatever we did to someone else or whatever they did to us is in the past even though we may still feel or have to live with the effects well into the future. However, there are some effects, we do not have to live with and those we shall briefly discuss here.
1. Resentfulness and bitterness - A feeling of deep and bitter anger and ill-will. These feelings are quite normal when we have been hurt. However, they are also like poison and can affect one physically (ulcers, headaches, stress, etc.), emotionally, vocationally and interpersonally, to name just a few affected areas. Living with resentfulness and bitterness can and will ruin future relationships and prevent one from being able to fully be productive and fulfilled in life.
2. Vengeful(ness) – Have you ever know someone who needs to get back at someone when they have been wronged? We can see this on the highway. Ever been cut off? What did you do? How did you feel? Did you feel like (or did you do it) cutting them off? This is being vengeful. Not only is this dangerous, it increases one’s stress level well beyound where it needs to be. Learning to relax and let some things go will extend one’s life and make life go a lot easier.
I’m not advocating becoming a pushover or taking abuse. Sometimes, the right action is not to let things go. However, for your own health and welfare, it is always best to drop those past hurts and move on.
1. What are some reasons you think this may not be a good option?
2. How have you been able to do this in your own life?
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
