Six Laws Of Money That You Didn’t Know About

“You can do anything to money or say everything against money but to ignore it. Those who believe that money is not important probably don’t have enough of it. The rich recognise and talk about money while the rest talk about everything but money.” –Uzo Onukwugha

“Money is not everything but it is right up there with oxygen.” –Zig Ziglar

Ten years ago, I would have been the last person in the world to write about money. I now know that you can be holy and still have holes in your pocket. Believe it or not, love may make the world go round but it is money that pays for the trip. As long as the earth revolves on its axis and greets the sun, money will continue to be an issue in our earthly existence. Economics is the name of the game. As we race towards globalization and one world government, everything boils down to economics. Even wars are now extension of economics. Know also that the mark of the beast is gonna be an economic mark. The last great revival will also involve economics–the wealth transfer or fortune reversal. We need the wealth for the spread of the endtime gospel even as we bush back the forces of darkness and every demonic onslaught.

Having debunked your self-opinionation about money, I guess the begging question is: what is money?

I can only explain money because whatever you define, you confine. the common sense definition is that money is currency–a medium of exchange. Money is a legal tender used to settle debts–private and public. The deeper explanation is that money is a metaphysical (spiritual) instrument that meanders according to human consciousness just like other assets. In other words, money is a spirit that takes the character traits and mannerisms of its owner. The word ‘spirit’ shows that money is a form of energy that obeys all the laws of quantum mechanics. At quantum mechanical level, the metaphysics of thought becomes the physics of life. That’s why word “currency” shows that money flows and it is in constant flux like the rest of the energy (bedrock) of the universe. In a universe that works according to design, and order, energy and principles are synonymous.

The begging question is: what are the Laws that govern money?

There are five cardinal principles of money. They are given in present continuous because tenses make senses.

Learning–You must be in the know to be in the flow; learning gives you a head start about money. “If you must earn money, you must first learn.” Ignorance or assumption about money is the main reason a lot of people don’t attract money. Ignorance is expensive and comes with a price tag. The block is in the mind and ignorance is the greatest darkness in the world. The price of darkness will always exploit your ignorance in the arena of your finances. In the new economy, ignorance is not an excuse. Finacial literacy is a must if you must move into deeper dimension of grace to attract money. Don’t make assumption, learn or unlearn things about money. What is commonly believed is commonly ignored. Get illumination is this area. It is amazing what you learn about money when you knock off spiritual blindness. Amazing grace is always available to those who were blind, but now they can see. From this discourse, you discover that you do not make money, you earn money. Money is an exchange of energy. Call it skill and time in exchange to goods and services. The rich are diligent with money while the rest are negligent with money. And if your are not diligent, you are not intelligent. That’s why the rich are called smart money because they always learn how to earn money, maintain and make it grow even more. It all begins with developing prosperity consciousness and thinking big. When your mind expands, you increase your capacity to receive even more money.

Earning–earning more money is where we have our most daunting problem. Ultimate reason why you learn about money is to earn it. Many people get this backwards. Yes, managing money is good but maintenace is not increase. Earning money is more of your mentality than your ability. Taking it deeper, it has a more spiritual connotation. Why? Because you make some money with your hands, you make more money with your head, but the most money is made with your heart (the human spirit). Your prosperity is within. One divine idea can make you live like a king all the rest of your life. God did not leave us without a talent. We must harness it. We must tap into our vast human resources or what I call “divine deposits within.” You can have God’s kind of financial success or you can chase the Holly wood type. A poor man has been described as one who do not know how to believe God for the abundance in his universe. This is not indictment of the poor but anybody who cannot tap into the deeper recess of his mind potential will remain poor. What keeps us poor is scarcity programming.  Think of a seed which is already programmed to over deliver. Nature is always lavish. Abundance is the natural order of the universe. God has blessed each and everyone of us with tremendous talents and innate abilities–whether we serve him or not. When we earn the money, we need discipline and wisdom to manage, disburse, or grow more of it.

Saving–this is our Archille’s heal. One old adage says, “if you cannot save money, the seed of greatness is not in you.” Having savings involves planning and discipline. It is called budgeting. You live within your means. The rule is simple, do it the old fashioned way. Curtail your appetite and buy stuff when you have the money to pay for it. You can start saving if you increase your wages and reduce your wastes. It is simple to say but difficult to do. Exercise discipline in the use of credit card. It is called inner technical resilience or character. Credit is a glorified poverty. It is stripping your future to enhance your present. Tearing your credit card, though is not the answer. Those are cosmetic changes. There are few occasions when credit cards may be lifesaving. It is always better to have it and you don’t need it and to need it and you don’t have it. Self-control is the watch word here. When you control your inner worth, you improve your net worth. Caution and balance is necessary. If you become too stingy and thrifty, you also end up having thrift-store-mentality. This is poverty programming and will cause you to lose money, too.

Spending–whether you like it or not, you must spend money for your own upkeep and need. Money is used to service life in general. The operative word is “wise spending.” Make sure you don’t hold back God’s money–His tithe and your offering. If you do, you shut the windows of heaven and your cosmic cash pump will start to run dry. Giving to God is not spending per say; it is investing in the secret kingdom that is not subject to economic downturn. When you get your raise and bonuses, don’t run to the nearest store to spend it. We live in a consumer driven society with market fiasco. Remember, that sales will never end in America. If you curtail your spending, you save 100%. Don’t allow Parkinson’s law to keep you in a treadmill of pay check to pay check. You have the anointing to break that yoke. What is Parkinson’s law. Well, it is a law that says your expenditure catches up with your pay raise to keep you perpetually broke. You can break the loop of shoppermania and spendrifting. Otherwise you will not have left-over for investment.

Investing–this is the best kept secret of the rich that separates them from the rest. It is an open secret that the poor and the middle-class work for money while the rich put their money to work. In the parable of the talent which I call the parable of investing (Matthew Chapter 25), the master instructed His three servants to put His money to work–not to work for money–according to their abilities. There are different forms and types of investment. In this regard, opportunities abound calling for caution. “If you must invest, you must investigate.” This takes us back to learning. You must be in the know to be in the flow. Before you rush to invest in multiple streams of income, make sure you study one stream, perfect it, let it run before you diversify. Otherwise you end up scattering your resources and having multiple streams of failed income. Without focus, any scattered energy is a wasted energy. Focus research always pays off. Ask questions. Tap from the experience of those who have travelled the road before. That’s leverage–don’t invest without it. For instance the internet, is a gold mine as well as a landmine. People wouldn’t tell you that only 3% of websites are making money in the internet. Yet everybody has jumped into the bandwaggon? There is so much lies, half-truth, over-bloated claims and out-right hype. The statistics applies to other investment opportunities. So, don’t be part of human statistics and casualties and at the same time, if you don’t take calculated risk, you will not be rich.

Giving–This is the best kept secret of the wealthy. The wealthy have learned to give back to God, the church, the less privileged and contribute to worthy course they believe in. There are two types of giving, the tithe and alms-giving (or offering) after you have paid your tithe. The tithe is 10% of your gross income. This is holy unto God, the source of every good thing and wealth. After the tithe, you are then able to give your free-will offerings. I have not seen a Chrisitian millionaire who is not a tither. On the other hand, it has been found that individuals and companies who give back to the community experience at least 30% growth more than those who do not give. You make a living with what you get; but you create a life with what you give. Giving is living unless you want to have a near life experience. It is a law! You must release if you must continue to receive. In other words, the only way you will continue to live is to give. Life is all about giving and forgiving regardless of your chosen endeavour. A givers hands are always up and above tight-fisted hands.

You must master these six cardinal principles if you must have and handle money. This is how to put the law of attraction in motion so that you can become a money magnet.

Top Secret Tips To Help You Become A Better Business Person

Starting and maintaining a home business enterprise is a bold move. Home businesses can be immensely successful if you know how to maintain your businesses affairs in the right way. This article will cover some of the essentials you need to consider, to ensure the growth, success and profitability of your online business.

If you have a home based business, don’t miss out on the home office tax credit. You can claim this space even if you don’t devote an entire room to your business. If you have an area which is only or primarily used for business purposes, you can claim it based on square footage, and calculate the portion of your home that is taken up by your office space.

Once you’ve decided on a product to sell, do your homework and check out your competition. Look at their prices and study the quality of the goods that they are selling. Make sure not to price yourself out of the market, and figure out how to deliver the best value to your customers.

Set up a Post Office box for all your business mail. It’s best to do this, rather than put your family at risk by using your physical address. This is especially important if you are doing most of your business online. Don’t ever post your home address online, for any reason.

To reduce distractions keep your office off limits to children. Have set work hours that enable you to run your business and still have time for your family. Older children should understand not to disturb you while you are working. For your business to succeed your family needs to be supportive and respectful of your work schedule.

Take all of the home-business tax deductions that are legally allowed. For example, you can deduct the cost of a second telephone line or a mobile phone if you use it exclusively for your business, but be sure to keep sufficient records to prove your deductions. Taking all permissible write-offs helps you keep more of what you earn.

Although you may be used to working eight hours a day and then being off, you have to realize that in order for a home business to thrive more of a time commitment may be needed. Once everything is in place you will be able to relax a little.

Maintain a professional attitude as you begin your home based business. Keep your personal life and your professional life separate. Just because you are working from home, does not mean that you should engage in any family responsibilities during the time that you are supposed to be working. You will not be successful if you do not put the time into running your business efficiently.

Don’t walk into a home business enterprise blind! There are many online discussion forums designed for small business owners to discuss the unique obstacles in this field. Look locally for other small business and home business organizations that meet in person. Either way you go, networking with other business owners gives you an excellent support system.

Having a business license for your home business often allows you to purchase things wholesale. This is excellent news for people who make their product, since you can search on product search engines for bulk orders of raw materials. This minimizes trips to the store, and frees up your wallet for other expenditures.

In the end, for most, having a online business allows for a level of control and creativity that the mainstream approach lacks. However, after reading this article, you may realize that you cannot necessarily go about maintaining a successful home business in the same way that you would maintain a traditional business. By utilizing these tips and advice, you will set your business up for a lucrative and stable future.

How To Master Mindsets for Maximum Learning

When people think about the factors that influence student achievement, a lot of things come to mind. These include a student’s socio-economic status, the education level of the student’s parents, the student’s motivation, his or her attitude toward school, and of course, the student’s cognitive abilities. One factor that has recently become a matter of intense research and is beginning to become a major focus of educators across the world is popularly called “mindset” and was first popularized by the publication of the book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (2006) by the major researcher in the field, renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck. Dweck’s research has shown that your students’ mindsets are one of the most important factors impacting their achievement. As such, this is one factor that master teachers don’t leave to chance.

First of all, for those of you who aren’t very familiar with the mindsets research conducted by Dweck and others, here’s a quick recap of the main findings. In her research, Dweck identified two basic “mindsets” that impact virtually everything we do (and not just in school). These two mindsets are (1) the fixed mindset and (2) the growth mindset.

People who have a fixed mindset hold a deep-seating belief that one’s qualities–cognitive ability and personality traits both–are carved in stone and are thus virtually unchangeable. On the other hand, people with a growth mindset have a deep-seated belief that the hand you’re dealt by genetics and your life situation is only a starting point and that your qualities are things you can cultivate through effort.

Why is this important for educators? Well, let’s say you have a student who has a fixed mindset, and let’s further say that he has been praised throughout his life for his intelligence. Such a student becomes invested in this persona of himself as “smart.” Now, let’s say you assign a challenging class project, and the student’s work is not top-notch. Let’s say he scores a C, or even a B. What will be his response?

Well, since in his mind, “smart” people make A’s, this occurrence creates some real cognitive dissonance. In such cases, a student with a fixed mindset often falls back on excuses. He might blame the assignment or teacher, saying the assignment was “dumb.” Or he may feign nonchalance and tell anyone who will listen that he just didn’t try. After all, if he really did try and he did not receive an A, that might call into question how smart he is. Rather than change his view of himself (his mindset), he looks for an excuse. Does this sound familiar? Sure! We’ve all had such students and heard such excuses. But, if a teacher is not aware of how these excuses are arising from the student’s fixed mindset, she will not be in a position to attack the problem at its source.

Even more damaging is the effect of such events when repeated over time. The student with a fixed mindset, when faced with repeated failure, will often generalize his excuses even more. Instead of one assignment being “dumb,” now the whole class, or even the whole subject matter field becomes “dumb.” Or he takes it out on a teacher. Instead of the teacher giving one “dumb” assignment, this often grows into “that teacher has it in for me.” Or even worse, the student may keep a fixed mindset but begin to believe that he is not smart, or at least not smart in certain subjects.

Now, let’s look at a student who has a growth mindset who finds herself in the same situation. She receives the challenging assignment, tries her best, and receives the same unsatisfactory score as the student with the fixed mindset discussed above. How does she react? Much differently! Rather than make excuses, she is much more likely to look at the event as feedback telling her that she needs to spend more time on such assignments, or work harder, or ask for feedback on her work prior to turning in the final project. In other words, since she sees herself as the kind of person who can change and get better (a growth mindset), she looks at the assignment as a growth opportunity.

We’ve all had these students before, too. And generally, they are a joy to have in class. They tend to enjoy challenges more, be more open to taking creative approaches to assignments, and they tend to grow over the course of time as students. What teacher wouldn’t like to have a whole classroom full of such students?

Changing Mindsets

Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that every class is a mixed bag of students with fixed and growth mindsets, and if we want the best for all of our students, we have the obligation to help those students with fixed mindsets to change. And the good news is that change is possible. As Dweck has written, “You have a choice. Mindsets are just beliefs. They’re powerful beliefs, but they’re just something in your mind, and you can change your mind.” (16)

But let’s not pretend that such change is easy. Earlier when I said that mindsets were “deep-seated,” I meant that most people are completely unaware that they hold a certain set of beliefs. These beliefs are usually implicit unless someone else calls the person’s attention to the fact. And in the case of students whose fixed mindsets are causing them to stagnate in their learning, it’s the teacher’s responsibility to be the one who makes the student’s mindset explicit and teaches the student a new way to think about him- or herself.

Approaches for Changing Fixed Mindsets

So, what can we do to help students with fixed mindsets to change? Let me start by making two disclaimers:

(1) there’s not room in this short article to cover all of the possible approaches you might take with a student, so I am just going to offer a few steps that you can do globally in your classroom to (hopefully) positively affect all of your fixed mindset students; and

(2) not all fixed mindsets are alike. When confronted with evidence of their limiting mindset, some students will be in denial. Others truly are cognitively gifted, and so they tend to breeze by in most classes without much effort. These students will be in for a rude awakening when more challenging work comes along (this may not happen until college) if they don’t adjust their mindset now. Another group of fixed mindset students are just the opposite of the just-skate-by group. These students are the workaholics who knock themselves out studying because they fear that they might not always come out on top. Such students aren’t learning for the joy of learning, they’re working for the grade–and they are likely candidates for burn-out if they don’t adjust their mindsets.

I suggest you read Dweck’s book for more how-to advice (beyond what I give below) for working with individual students who are resistant to change. And now, with those caveats in place, here are three suggestions to get you started adjusting the mindsets of those fixed-mindset students in your classes.

1. Watch Your Language

The first thing a teacher can do globally is to become more aware of and, if necessary, change, his or her language when talking to students. For example, one of the worst things teachers can do is to praise students for being “smart.” Calling students smart, or any synonym for smart, puts the emphasis on intelligence as a fixed quantity. When students do good work and you call them smart as a result, what happens when the same student doesn’t do good work? Is he now “not smart”?

The better approach is to use our language with students to focus on the problem-solving strategies they used to come up with the answer, or on the effort they put in to achieve the result. Saying things like, “That was a great strategy you used there” or “Great work! You really must have put in the effort on this paper” go a long way toward focusing students on things they can control.

2. Value and Reward Creativity

One of the biggest handicaps of the fixed mindset arises out of the need to be proven right or smart all the time. As a result, many fixed mindset students “play it safe” by trying to figure out exactly what the teacher wants and what he will reward with the coveted A. You can tell these students because they are the ones who are always asking you to explain in excruciating detail exactly what you want done on any assignment.

Students with a growth mindset, on the other hand, won’t nag you about exactly what you want. If they nag you about anything, they will nag you to open up the assignment a bit. They will ask you for more leeway to do something fun or creative.

If your goal is to move the fixed mindset students toward more of a focus on growth, one of the best things you can do is to offer more open-ended assignments or assignments with multiple options. Your growth mindset students will love it, and they will knock your socks off with their creative approaches. Many of them may have been waiting for just such an opportunity to spread their wings and try to do some things their own way.

On the other hand, the more you open assignments up, the more resistance you can expect from your hard-core fixed mindset students. You can explain to them that stretching themselves and taking hold of the opportunity to grow by expressing their creativity is good for them, but you can expect complaining and foot-dragging, anyway. In such situations, they are less sure about “what the teacher wants,” so they become anxious.

That leads to another point. If you do, indeed, make your assignments more open-ended or offer multiple options on assignments, you have to be willing to follow through and give students credit for creativity. Sometimes the more creative approaches may lead to work that may not be technically as sound as more traditional work, and in such a case you must make sure that points lost due to lack of technical merit are made up for by points awarded for creativity. This shows the fixed mindset students that going out on a limb to stretch themselves will not backfire.

3. De-Value Grades and Value Reflection

Now, I know I’m getting into difficult territory here, but this must be said. One of the major contributors to the fixed mindset is the traditional grading system. When so much value is placed on a score, it is easy for the score to become the goal rather than the learning and growth you want your students to achieve as a result of their time with you.

So, if grades as traditionally done are one of the biggest sources of the problem, we need to do what we can to find a better system. Now, I know that many of you are locked into the traditional grading system and are not allowed to get too creative with it. However, if you are really going to establish a growth mindset for the students in your classroom, you need to do all you can to make growth the focus of your marking system. Here are a few ideas:

Such practices as these all send the message that what you really value in your class is that students do the best work they can, that they continue to work on improving their work over time, and that they become reflective about their growth in the subject area. Installing such grading procedures in your classroom shows that you aren’t just paying lip service to such growth goals; you are actually rewarding growth behavior.

Focus on establishing such approaches early in the school year, especially the grading policies. This will allow you to really start looking at individual students in terms of mindset and having those one-on-one discussions with them about the impact of mindset and how they might go about making changes that will serve them well for the rest of their lives.

Good luck, and happy teaching!

How To Have The Mindset For Success

How can you set and have the mindset for success? Do you want to reach your goals more rapidly? In how many years did you plan to achieve your goals?

Many people, as well as I, preach hard work, focus, persistence and more but these are by-products of something else. It is something much more powerful than we can all develop. This extraordinary thing is critical to success, and it is your mindset.

Without the right mindset, you might find yourself sidetracked by your everyday routine. You can also often be distracted by the latest and most fabulous idea you are just having, which rarely pushes you to follow one path until successful.

You may think that you have all the time in the world to achieve your goals. But you have to realize that if you set your mindset for success, you can apply it to other domains as well. In this way, you will reach your goals much faster and find yourself with the capacity to possibly form new and bigger goals.

The Trap of the Mindset
It is always better to fail many times before succeeding as it will help you avoid many of the psychological traps. One of the key traps is to believe that you are smarter than other people, or that you do not have to work hard because you have talent, or that you have nothing to learn.

To have the right mindset to be successful in life, you do not need to have extraordinary intelligence or be gifted with talents.

So, as soon as you think success is determined by talent, you become weak when you have to face obstacles.

The Difference between a Fixed and Growth Mindset
So as soon as people see intelligence or abilities as fixed, they believe that many things are impossible for them to achieve because they put limits on themselves and their skills. And that is what is called a fixed mindset.

But other persons see abilities as qualities that can be developed which is, in this case, called a growth mindset. The important part is that those two different frames of mind lead to not the same behaviors and results.

When you have a growth mindset, you know you can change your intelligence, and increase your aptitudes and skills over time. But people with a fixed mindset do not think it is possible. So, the difference between the two groups is the perspective on intellect and brainpower.

The Possibility of a Different Mindset
Many studies have shown similar effects for the mindset about any ability such as problem-solving, playing sports, managing people or anything else you would like. The key to success is not merely effort, focus or resilience, but it is the growth mindset that creates them.

Your mindset is critical. When you directly are trying to build determination or persistence, it is not nearly as effective as if as addressing the mind frame that underlies these traits. How many people think of themselves as not creative people, or sociable, or math oriented, or even athletic?

On the other hand, some people may think that they are naturals. But if you want to fulfill your full potential, you need to start thinking differently. You have to realize that you not chained to your current capabilities and that you can modify your mindset.

A Mindset Can Be Changed
You should know that your brain is very malleable and has plasticity. You can change your ability to think and to perform. In fact, many of the accomplished people of our era were thought by experts to have no more future. People like Charles Darwin, Marcel Proust, and many others but they along with all high achievers such as Mozart to Einstein built their abilities.

But the vital thing here is to realize that you can change your ability and picture yourself where you want to be. When you have a growth mindset, you bring your game to new levels. So, how does a growth frame of mind do that?

Well, there are biological manifestations to mindset. Tests show that with people who have a fixed mindset, the brain becomes most active when they receive information about how they perform. Whereas people with a growth mindset, they have their mind being most active when they receive information about what they could do better next time.

The Choice of a Growth Mindset
In other words, people with a fixed frame of mind worry the most about how they are judged while those with a growth mindset focus the most on learning. There are other consequences about outlook. A fixed mind sees effort as a bad thing, something that only people with low capabilities need while those with a growth approach see effort as what makes them smart and as a way to grow.

And when they hit a setback or failure, people with a fixed mindset tend to conclude that they are incapable, so to protect their ego, they lose interest or withdraw. It is often taken as a lack of motivation, but behind it is a fixed frame of mind.

Whereas, people with a growth frame of mind believe that setbacks are a part of personal development. They find a way around the problem. So it means that you have to challenge yourself. But it also says that you have to praise yourself for being great at something or being smart; so do not also forget to honor others and even children for the same things.

Mindset Affects Everything
Trying hard pushes you to work even harder next time you face a challenge. Do not get into the fixed mindset of thinking that when you win, you are a winner and when you lose, it must make you a loser. The reason being is that your mindset affects your performance.

Remember that you can change your mindset any time you wish. And that is important because many people have a fixed mind frame about something or another. When you teach or have a growth mindset, not only it improves you as an all, but it also narrows down the achievement gap.

Mindset affects all of us. In the workplace, managers and supervisors with a fixed mindset do not accept feedback as much, and they do not mentor people. A wrong or right frame of mind even touches relationships, sports, and health.

Why do schools not teach the growth mindset to children rather than being so critical?

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored Post! Focus Supplements were kind enough to give me their Caffeine and L-Theanine capsules as well as the D Mannose for testing!

There are negative side effects of caffeine… by itself.

Don’t believe me? Well, then keep on reading!

The combination of caffeine and L-Theanine is considered by many to be the best place for a beginner to start with nootropics.

The reason caffeine and L-theanine are useful is because of the simplicity and amount of data supporting that combination.

L-Theanine is an amino acid found primarily in green tea (but also in other types). Caffeine is found in coffee, cocoa, and there is even some in tea as well. Combined, these two ingredients create some magical things for us.

The Ultimate Combination! L-Theanine and Caffeine

Caffeine and L-Theanine by Focus Supplements

What makes L-Theanine and caffeine together so great?

One simple but important word – Synergy.

Caffeine is great for concentration, improving attention, and focus, I guess that most of us knew that BUT caffeine also has some major downsides! Such as, increased heart rate, blood pressure, and anxious/jittery feelings.

Now if we throw L-Theanine into the mix, the magic happens! L-Theanine is a relaxant that can reduce heart rate and blood pressure, promote alpha brain waves (associated with relaxation) and provide balance for the brain to avoid jitters.

When you start taking those two together you can concentrate on your work more effectively, be more creative, and achieve more success with the absence of headaches, crashes, and anxiety. The combination gives you the power to perform better and if you have been reading my site or books then you know that THIS is what I am all about! Improving PERFORMANCE.

Safety Concerns

The combination of those two is highly researched and has tons of evidence that is 1) Safe and 2) Works perfectly fine.

Hence, combining L-theanine and caffeine is incredibly safe.

There are many independent studies on caffeine cited on Examine.com alone. The side effects of caffeine are well documented as well.

L-Theanine also has a great safety track record. The United States Food and Drug Association (FDA) considers L Theanine G.R.A.S. – “generally regarded as safe”, which is a rare distinction. High doses in animals doesn’t cause toxicity.

L-Theanine The Underdog

L-Theanine definitely falls under the category of  “under the radar” supplements that can dramatically improve your brain health.

You know that feeling of “flow“ you get where work effortlessly flows through you? Usually, that happens when your brain is in an alpha wave state. One of the L-theanine benefits is an increase of alpha brain waves, which promotes relaxed, creative, and stress free thinking.

Who is L-Theanine and Caffeine for?

L-Theanine and Caffeine can be used by anyone, but it’s becoming especially popular for students who are looking to get an extra edge in the classroom. When finals season is coming up, and taking test after test starts becoming exhausting, finding supplements that can help boost your brain power, enhance your focus, and aid in memory retention can be extremely useful.

However, this stack can be used by just about anyone. If you’re an office worker this can be important as well. Sitting at a desk all day working on spreadsheets can be extremely monotonous, but using this can be beneficial to those looking to increase motivation.

L-Theanine and Caffeine isn’t just for students and office workers. It’s great for athletes as well. L-Theanine has been found to help increase blood flow and reduce fatigue.

Taking L-Theanine and Caffeine Daily

If you’re not convinced yet, you should be. The effects that L-Theanine and Caffeine can bring collectively to enhance your cognition is remarkable. I’ve been taking this nootropic stack nearly daily now and I don’t feel as if I’ll be stopping anytime soon. It brings me a smooth, clean energy throughout the day that I can’t say no to.

You can buy the stack individually or you can buy it mixed in as one clean dose. I prefer to take the pills that are all combined as I find it more convenient for me instead of taking several different pills to achieve the same effect.

I have been taking the Focus Supplements Caffeine and L-Theanine stack for a while now, and I just can’t beat the price. Each dose contains 100mg of caffeine and 250mg of L-Theanine, which has been found to be the optimum dosage of these two powerful supplements.

In conclusion, if you’re looking for increased mental focus, improved memory recall, improved reaction time, enhanced visual/spatial awareness, increased muscle dexterity, and an enhanced attention span, give this combination a try. I guarantee you’ll feel its effects on the first day and you’ll be instantly turned on to the idea of taking L-Theanine and Caffiene together regularly.

Getting Started with Caffeine and L-Theanine

When getting started with a caffeine + L-Theanine supplement, there is a proper ratio you must try to maintain. Numerous studies show the caffeine L Theanine ratio must be 1:2.

This caffeine theanine ratio is best for improving your concentration and alertness while reducing the negative side effects and jitters.

There is approximately 100 mg in a single cup of coffee, but sometimes that can still be a bit much. Then I add 160 mg of L-theanine. This L-theanine dosage is regarded as the best for your L-theanine and caffeine combination.

However, if you want to buy and ignore all the stress of taking the right amount then I can only advice you to get the capsules from Focussupplements. They are pre-made with the perfect dosage and I take 1-2 daily depending on how much work I need to get done. Stress free and it works like a charm! You can go and get them yourself right here on Amazon! Caffeine and L-theanine Capsules!

As I mentioned earlier, unlike other nootropics, L theanine and caffeine isn’t cost prohibitive to nearly anyone. For a 2 month supply of caffeine and L theanine you only have to pay a couple of cents per day!!

That is less than two quarters to improve your concentration and achieve more success while preventing negative side effects and feelings of caffeine.

What Else Could I use Besides Caffeine and L-Theanine?

For the curious ones, there are plenty of ways to use caffeine and L-theanine as a ground of your nootropic stack. Some people choose to use this combination daily because caffeine is one of the most impactful components for stimulation.

In addition to caffeine and L-theanine, it’s possible to focus on different cognitive processes. For example, some people have concentration covered with this basic stack and decide to add memory enhancers. A good combination for memory enhancement and learning is piracetam, aniracetam, or phenylpiracetam combined with choline sources like Alpha GPC or CDP choline.

D Mannose by Focus Supplements

I for one also use D Mannose to get rid of nasty bacteria and stay safe from infections, also it helps you to keep a healthy bladder. Some people even have genetic defects which prevents them from splitting Mannose correctly so taking D Mannose is even more important for those, again and as always get in contact with your doctor to see if you might need D Mannose.

Be conscious of stacking stimulants on top of each other stimulant especially for those who are sensitive. Adding modafinil on top of this combination could actually create adrenal fatigue and other side effects that are not positive long-term (this includes the cousins adrafinil and armodafinil).

Starting with caffeine and L-theanine is a good idea, but as many nootropics enthusiasts found out, it is easy to go down the rabbit hole and create even more effective nootropic stacks for yourself.

Medical Disclaimer: While we support psychedelic science and support usage of entheogens like ayahuasca (DMT) and psilocybin, it is recommended to avoid using other substances such as caffeine alongside them. We do not recommend using them together and as always, before taking anything that you are unsure about, consult your Doctor first!
