Stephane David

Hey Welcome & Greetings! My name is Stephane David and I am the author of: www.topincomenz.com

I would love to find like minded people who believe that there is more to it than our daily grind in life and that we can stretch and reach the success we want and deserve out of life. We all have limited time on the planet so we may as well make the most of it all!! These are my core values and I apply them to all areas of my life, but before I touch on that, let me quickly go over where things are at for me.

I have fulfilled part of what I’m looking for in that I have a family (my invaluable inner circle), a lifestyle, doing stuff from home on the internet and spending my time as I want. Above all, I have managed to get myself out of my previous life…

So what was I like not so long ago and why have I got this positive outlook for the future?
Although I do not believe I’m any smarter than the average Jo Blog, I know I have a driving force pushing me an inch forward every day!

Why? Well here it goes…

I have spent the first 25 years of my life in Paris, brought up by divorced parents, living in an apartment block, confined in the typical urban environment many (too many) millions of people experience everyday. Looking back I guess things were OK, it is all I knew and was conditioned like many around me to get some education, like a degree, go to work for a boss and live on the treadmill. It is the lifestyle I was raised in and it was OK.

Being a lonely child, 20 years or so ago, I remember a thought that I had and that was I knew one day I would have the things, lifestyle and family I was dreaming about. I had obviously no idea about the “how” but I was simply optimistic and it made me feel good to think of these good thoughts. I guess as children, we all have that kind of wishes and dreams running through our heads. It is not until years later, that I came to realise that I must have been born an optimistic. Fortunately, I can say I have a natural tendency to see the positive side of things, but not always though!

My relationships and accomplishments have never been great, why? Well I guess I was living on auto-pilot, believing in coincidences and also hoping that good things would fall into my life, just like a miracle. I do not enjoy looking back at those days. But I knew I was doing the right thing not giving up on my visions.

I was fortunate to have my dad take me with him on his business trips. He’s always told me “To travel is to move forward”. I did not realise what he really meant by that but was always enjoying being with him, going places, somewhere different. I have always enjoyed going places, getting exposed to different cultures. That is how I happened to really enjoy learning and speaking English for example. Thank goodness I did not solely rely on the kind of rubbish they were teaching at school!

Sadly my dad no longer travels although he has retired recently. It is a mystery to me, particularly now that he has all the time available…

All that time with my dad really is at the origin of the confidence I now have in myself

However, how many times have I had these negative thoughts running through my mind, this voice holding you back “no you can’t do this or that etc…”It is interesting to note that based on the way we live, we keep having this negative energy even if we know it is distracting our future, not adding to it.

Don’t you think that even if you decide you are going to have a great day, you still have to struggle and deal with the unconstructive stuff? And we are doing it to ourselves. Sure enough, we may be influenced by the outside world such as the news etc… It is amazing to see how easily we can be prone and drawn towards unenthusiastic matter. I guess we deal with it and have a couple of basic choices to make, accept it and feel miserable or decide to be worth better than this and go forward!

I refused to listen to my weak thoughts and decided to hammer at my projects and make things happen!!

Now that I have seen the four corners of the globe and fell in love with New Zealand, I have settled over there and established a much better life.

I knew for a long time that I wanted to get away, boy have I gone far and away from my home land, my old life and my old me! Also I always wanted to be somewhere close to the shore. After all, I hated to only see the ocean once or twice a year if I was lucky. Fortunately, our trips with dad were excellent getaways but they also were acting as enticements, like teasers, particularly upon returning home…

Career wise, I am now working from home, part time, earning more than my last corporate full time role as a Software Project Manager. Needless to say this has been a significant milestone for me. Reflecting on it, you could say it is some form of achievement but I believe it is only a beginning.

If you make the effort to better yourself and you keep doing it, it becomes a habit. Therefore it becomes part of your new you.

It is like to manage to go to the gym beyond a year after you joined! How many people join up and quit, and not just at the local gym, but at many other different things, like a diet after New Year’s Eve right?!

Well if you go to the gym over and over again, it actually becomes a habit, it has become a part of your life and it is when you do not go the gym that you feel there is something not quite right going on! So, in all of things I wanted for my life, lifestyle was one of them.

So great, but where to from now??

Since I cemented the foundation of my goals, my phase now is a growing and expansion phase. To be able to reach this milestone, I’ve had invaluable help from other people and I’m still getting it to this day. I’m grateful for my business mentors to have invested their time, philosophies and advice back into me. Why back into me? Simply because they invest back in others what they received from people who attracted success before them.

Now that I know I’m going down the right track in terms of all the goals I want to achieve, I’m in a position to return the favour and happily invest into others and pass on all the good values and skills that I have learnt, for the benefit of people.

Oh sure enough, just like anybody, I have also had my hurdles and failures, but that is part of our learning curve. I hope by the way that you are familiar with the idea that there is an opportunity to learn from any situation. In fact, if you listen carefully around you, you will hear, just like me, that you learn more from your failures than your successful efforts. Although I have to say the former is far more painful than the latter! Things are not always easy and honky dory, that is just the way it is.

That is why when we are in a strong position to lead others; we feel this fulfilling and exciting need to help others in return. In fact, it is natural law of survival that says that people in the community must help and support others in need. By the way, don't let geography or language stand in your way!

What I am doing doesn't just work for those who are next to me but WORLD WIDE.

Nothing can physically stand in the way of your desires. The learning and growth experience come from you, forget the rest!!

No one else but you can do it for yourself. You see, you can not attract an experience or success for anybody else, but you, so boundaries and languages are just self invented obstacles.

You are the only person really in charge.

You are the only person really in charge of your situation in this world. I like to take ownership and responsibility and think of myself as CEO of Stephane David Incorporated! Where ever you are now in your life, it is the result of your passed actions and decisions. You can at any time change direction and work towards you desired changes and goals and therefore change the course of your ship.

You have a choice in your everyday life….

You can either choose to move forward or backward. You can not stand still.

A river can not stand still, otherwise it putrefies right? Moreover, one day that passes is one less day we have to live! Yet, we tend to forget some of these amazingly simple principles that affect our lives.

We are presented with plenty of opportunities to learn something new everyday. We are introduced to lots of ways to grow, in minute steps so long as we apply ourselves consistently. In fact, I believe we even get to learn even in our sleep. Why? Well, just because our subconscious mind, reorganises and classifies our experiences, thoughts of the day. We are bombarded with masses of information every minute.

We are aware of 2000 thoughts when in reality our brain trims through 400 billion (with a B) thoughts a day.

Don’t you think there is enough opportunity and exposure to learn anything with that sort of volume?

So here is my approach and I wish to meet with people who resonate with a similar mentality

For the last 3-4 years now, I managed to get rid off my paid employments and to focus more on myself and my inner circle. As a direct result, I have found the most fulfilling relationships.

There is so much you can take from this world, you do not need to know how. People have not yet even scratched the surface of what they could really have. Abundance is accessible for absolutely anybody. The tragedy now is that not everybody is aware of it. As Bob Proctor says, some people do not even know that they do not know!

So if you have tried many different things up until now or if you are asking yourself all these questions or if you feel you want to take the next move or if you’ve all of a sudden realised all this, it is OK. It is only a phase, one of many phases we all go through in our growing experiences. Take the step, be smart, you are smart, use it and be inspired, take action, always act on your feelings. Sometimes logic has nothing to do with some decisions we make. In fact, I speak for my own experiences; I have taken multiple decisions based on emotions. I then applied my logic but it was kind of too late anyway, my mind was set!!

Think about it, how much is it costing you to not be where you want to be? If you have goals, that is good, how on-track are you? If you have no goals, it is a problem! Make a list! If you know you have so much to gain, why are you not acting on it?

Think about it real hard, it could be one of the most serious and productive conversation you could have with yourself. Look at the mirror and speak the truth out!

My wish is if I can help or if you can benefit from my knowledge and experience, then I’d be more than happy to give it a shot! Just like many others, I was there, hanging on to my hopes, not having a clue. You will find and attract the people to help you, no question. I may be one of them. May be you will also help me. It is fascinating sometimes to look at where the course of events can lead to! And I love it! Just jump in the rabbit hole and go for it, give it a go, no matter how deep the hole goes! That sure will help you keep your focus for your GOALS!

All the best and I look forward to talking with you.
