Default Any success with motivational audio CD's?

I've just started listening to some Cd's with positive affirmations on them. Has anyone else had positive experiences doing this?

I enjoy listening to high energy speakers in the car or when I'm walking, not so much for the content as just the motivation.

A few audio programs I've had success with are Brian Tracy's Success Mastery Academy (you can get it for free on Audible) and Steve's podcasts (he's hyper!) I'd love to hear more high energy speakers, if anyone knows some.

Absolutely! My husband and I have listened to them for years now and there are some wonderful teachers out there. I love listening to them in the car or on a jog.

My husband and I were so inspired by the teachings we received over the years, so we embarked on creating our own. My husband has created what I believe to be the most wonderful audios I've heard. Of course he is my husband so I think he's great to begin with LOL!!!

Have you tried a breath walk? I have some great audios that you listen to when you walk. They have you breath at certain paces and it creates balance in your heart and mind. This is a yoga practice.

I have had some great success using motivational and personal development programs.

I started about 3 years ago with Brian Tracy's Platinum mentoring series. I worked with one of his top coaches for about 16 weeks and made life changing personal transformation which included quitting a 7 year corporate career to enter entrepreneurship.

I have done every Bob Proctor coaching program. The best 2 are The Goal Achiever and Your Were Born Rich seminar which was filmed in the 80s. The styles are out of date but the content is as wise as ever. I LOVE proctor's material because he shows you how your mind works and how you can alter your results using a stretgical mental reprogramming plan. If I had to recommend anyone in terms of getting started, Proctor would be my choice.

I have done Tony Robbins tapes on Time of Your Life. Unbelievable time management information and training. I am probably 10 times more productive in my business and personal life now as a result of this program.

The Success Principles by Jack Canfield is a collection of the most important personal development lessons you will ever learn. I have read the book about 5 times and listened to the audiobook during some long commutes. I often will get an idea while listening and apply it to my business the same day. I made 15k in 3 weeks by applying an idea I learned from this book. At the time I was averaging less that 1k per week.

Les Brown is also an amazing speaker. When I was cold calling universities to line up my 2008 speaking schedule, I woudl listen to Les in my car and it would fire me up so I was motivated and confident for my sales pitches. I sold a lot of speaking gigs that summer.

Some other programs I reccomend would be
John Assaraf, The Answer
Eben Pagan, Get Altitude and Wake up Productive
Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, The Alladin Factor
Wayne Dyer, You'll See it When You Believe it


As for affirmations, like some of the other people on this thread, I create my own. I lay it over some music sometimes and I find it works really well. I will do this multiple times per day as I work on a goal and it helps to accelerate the achievement of my goal
