Welcome to day #4 of my Virtual Book Tour for Prayer Prescriptions: Spiritual Remedies For Long Lasting Health.

What is a Virtual Book Tour, you may be asking? As an author of my upcoming book, I’ve looked into ways I can promote the book without breaking the bank. In fact, a Virtual Book Tour doesn’t cost anything. It’s a way to reach out to fellow bloggers, post on their blogs about my book, and drive traffic to their site all day.

It’s a win/win.

Publishing houses no longer do publicity for the books they are publishing, except for New World Library, perhaps. Since Prayer Prescriptions: Spiritual Remedies For Long Lasting Health will be published at the end of May, this will be a long Virtual Book Tour, giving me plenty of time to learn along the way.

Isn’t that what life is all about? Learning and growing as we seek Peace Of Mind in our lives.

I’d like you to stop by my author blog. There’s a lot going on there and we’ll have an opportunity to connect there. Please be sure to introduce yourself!

Let’s face it, when it comes to bad habits with our money, checking accounts and credit cards we’ve all been there.

It is easy to get into bad habits with our financial matters. I know of very few people that have enough money to simply buy what they want without a second thought. Most people have to plan their purchases and keep a close eye on their finances to keep themselves solvent.

Many people have bad habits of getting too far in debt with credit cards. The cards are easy to get. You can get a handful of Visas and Master Cards, an American Express Card, a Discovery Card, and several cards from retail stores without much effort. You don’t have to have much income to get these cards either.

None of the card companies seem to consider or care that you might have to pay payments to the other cards. Have you ever gotten one or two of these cards and said to yourself “I’ll just hold on to these cards just in case of an emergency.” That’s all well and good, but if you get into bad habits with them, you can end up spending them to their limits. You may reach a point where you cannot even make the minimum monthly payments.

You might be tempted to borrow money from relatives at a time like this, but that would be just another of type of bad habits. Relatives may want to help you from time to time but this would just get you into the bad habit of going to them each time you need money. Yet, there will come a day when the money will run out, or the situation will get old. The relative will not only discontinue “loaning” you the money, heck they might stop speaking to you as well. Especially if you haven’t paid them back from before.

When it comes to friends, both borrowing and lending money are bad habits. Just don’t do it. It puts a strain on the relationship that many friends can’t handle. One friend might forget how much was borrowed. Yet, there may be animosity if a written contract is suggested. You can rarely win when you get into this bad habit.

Many people get into trouble financially because the have the bad habit of not sitting down to make a budget. They have a general idea of where the money should go, but they really don’t. They may think they have it all in their brains. It never quite comes together, though, unless you put it on paper (or on a spreadsheet on a computer). Only then will you know you have everything included.

Most utility companies have a certain grace period before they will cut off service. Some people count on this grace period and get into bad habits when it comes to paying their utility bills. If you do this you put yourself in jeopardy of losing your lights or water. You also destroy your credit rating.

Some financial bad habits have to do with the way people manage their checking accounts. One thing people often do is to throw away paperwork they get when making transactions. Of course, there is a time to throw it away. Yet, until it is recorded into your account, you need to keep deposit, ATM, and debit slips to verify that the correct amount was taken out.

Some people even have the bad habits of not reconciling their checking accounts. There are so many software programs out there that can make it very easy on yourself. Use them. It is important to be sure that your account has in it what you think it should. For one thing, there is no better way to catch fraud.

Take charge of your money habits and make your life less stressful and more productive.

They, whoever they are, say that the only thing constant is change.

And I have to agree with them.

The Who, in their teen anthem “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” sang “Change it had to come.”

Once again I agree.

So with me mentioning all this stuff about change, what does it have to do with me?

In a nutshell, A LOT.

You see, for the past seventeen years as a locksmith here in Middle Tennessee I have dedicated myself to keeping local businesses and homes safe and secure, and have opened many a car or truck that folks have locked themselves out of. By the way I will continue to do so for many more years.

For me a change started to happen a few years ago. A change that I have welcomed, and I am excited to take to the “next level.”

Many of you know my story that when I went through my divorce I lost sleep, and lots of it! I did find a way to cure myself of insomnia and sleepless nights, and I went on to record a worldwide selling audio that has helped countless people fall asleep at night, safe and all natural with no drugs.

It was after that  that my attention turned to learning even more about self-hypnosis and becoming a hypnotist. I accomplished that task after attending a Pat O’Bryan Unseminar and meeting Wendi Friesen who I studied under and became a certified master hypnotist (After thirty hours of classroom hours.) Since then I have continued my studies and have continued to create more and more audios that help people everyday.

But I have felt I am missing something. Something that has continue to brew inside of me like a tea kettle that is on the verge of singing.

Well, what am I singing???

I shall keep you in the dark no longer.

On Saturday October 1st, 2011 I shall open a small office for my hypnosis practice at Georgetown Park, Suite 07 in Murfreesboro Tennessee!

I’ll specialize in Stop Smoking sessions, but as many of you know I do additional work as well. Sleep issues come to mind, and so does stress relief!

I’ll have a number especially for my hypnosis clients 615 669-1361 and for right now, I’ll be open for sessions in the evening time.

I have had people ask me what does a locksmith have in common with a hypnotist, and all I can say is that both trades help people. At the end of the day, that really is what I like to do, help people.

So, please rejoice with me as I start another phase in this non-stop carousel of life that I am riding on!

Please feel free to tell all your friends, so if I can help them, I may do so.

I’ll still be doing my locksmith business, creating “Kick Ass” audios for sale and for free over the web and interviews, but I really feel that this one on one time to help folks quit smoking is really going to be a good thing.

Remember, if you want to change the world, start with yourself.

Because in the world of “Law of Attraction”, if there is no “Action” on your part, they’ll be no “Attraction” with whatever it is you so desire on God or the Universe’s part.

Sincerely,

Trapper

PS…Did I mention I’ll be having a book coming out soon? Oh, I didn’t. Well more on that at a later date. For now if you know folks in Middle Tennessee that have a desire to quit smoking for good, please have them call me. Thank You.
