Multiple Streams of Income?





OK...OK...OK...before you click to another blog site because all this "Multiple Streams of Income" jazz is beginning to sound a bit like a cheap infomercial--sans cheesy gold chains and the scantily clad bikini girls on a yacht,--please hear me out.

Through the Grace of God I've recently discovered one of the oldest "secrets" to creating wealth that has eluded the average middle and lower class worker for centuries.  This secret is simply securing as many sources of revenue as possible.  For example: most of us have a main-gig, but it's equally important to seriously consider starting your own company as a side-gig--as soon as possible--to begin generating additional sources of revenue during these uncertain economic times. Outside of the incredible tax benefits of starting a home-based company, the pride that comes from creating something out of nothing empowers you to accomplish the seemingly impossible.

I’ve known for a long time that I had a book inside of me but never really knew what I would write about or how to begin. As a result of my life-changing epiphany and noticing others around me who also began to change, I now knew exactly what the subject would be. But the anointing during that unforgettable a.m. run made it clear that it was no longer something I “wanted to” do but rather, I “had to.”  How could I disobey what God had placed on my heart and expect Him to continue to bless me? This guide has sparked the creation of Omega Consulting Enterprises, LLC. After getting a DUNS # (Data Universal Numbering System, abbreviated as DUNS or D-U-N-S, is a system developed and regulated by Dun & Bradstreet, which assigns a unique numeric identifier to a single business entity) and registering in the Central Contractor Register (CCR), I am now better positioned to win millions of dollars in government primary and subcontractor awards. Dare to dream!

If you’ve always dreamed of starting your own business by using the talents God has bestowed upon you, do it! However, as we swing thru the jungle of life it’s best not to fully release one vine before securely grabbing another. In other words, you don’t have to leave your primary job (vocation) to begin the career that God intended for you to do (avocation). Simply start taking steps towards preparing yourself to be blessed. This is the Prosperity Law of Preparation.

   Have you ever wondered why it took the Israelites 40 years to travel a distance that should have only taken 11 days when they left Egypt? Moses knew about the Prosperity Law of Preparation and had to prepare the Israelites for their future blessings. Remember, not only did Pharaoh have their bodies in bondage, but their minds were still in bondage even after fleeing Egypt. Is your mind still in bondage?

   While Moses led the Hebrews in the wilderness amid barren experiences, they had to begin to mentally prepare to receive their future blessings. Otherwise, they would not be able to recognize and accept those blessings when they came. Moses knew that hard times were actually periods of inner preparation for the greater good to come, so he invoked the Prosperity Law of Preparation by describing the vast abundance that awaited the Hebrews. Moses fully and specifically described the Land of Milk & Honey to his people even though they were currently wandering the desert with famished bodies, minds, and spirits. Are you mentally prepared for your Land of Milk & Honey? Are you truly ready for all the things you’ve prayed for and asked God to bless you with? If not, please begin now to mentally prepare yourself for the blessings that await you. Far too many have squandered God’s blessings, and I pray that you will not become one of the casualties.

   It’s been said that some of the smartest people make lousy entrepreneurs because they believe they are so smart that they can easily predict all of the problems, roadblocks and hurdles they’ll need to overcome in order to succeed. They can think of all kinds of reasons why an idea won’t work before it even sees the light of day, and mentally euthanize the idea. This false prophetic foresight crushes possibilities and dreams. Therefore, when we want something, let’s focus on the positive things while being respectful of the potential barriers and obstacles. To reach our goals we really “have to” want them. More importantly, we “have to” believe that we can do it—think more about why we can make it happen instead of why we can’t. The fact that you are reading these words now is the biggest testament to what is possible.

One of the first tangible products from Omega Consulting Enterprises is the paperback version of my bestselling book Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening. This book has sparked several additional streams of income that have averaged $1,000/month over the past year. These streams include:

·         23 various eBook versions of the individual BMS chapters that are sold electronically around the World
·         T-shirts
·         Speaking engagements
·         Group training sessions and workshops
·         Personal training
·         Adsense and YouTube revenue from the advertisements that appear next to my YouTube videos and blogs. I get paid EACH time folks click these ads! (please see adds to your right and at the bottom of the page)

These are just a few of my personal examples, but please start considering what other ways you can begin generating multiple streams of income in the New Year. This is the key to wealth!



Omega Consulting Enterprises Business Summary

Mission Statement: Omega Consulting Enterprises was founded to increase and promote the feeling of “wholeness” within our society. Individual wholeness can best be described as a consciousness of the relationship between: body, mind & spirit. Community wholeness is defined as an understanding of oneness and how we are all connected. Each of our stories is a simple pebble tossed into the ocean of humanity, and we can only dream that a tsunami of change will emerge in the lives of our unknown brethren on a distant shore.

Company Description: The initial jewel in the Omega Consulting portfolio of offerings is Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening. In his latest release, James Hackley (author/founder) explores the root causes of why we overeat, refuse to exercise, live chaotic lives and fail to accomplish the goals that God has intended for our life since the dawn of time. This is not just another diet or “weight loss” (loss of fat and muscle) book. Diets simply don’t work, and James emphasizes how we need to be more concerned about “fat loss.” In fact, this guaranteed bestseller would be better categorized as a “Negativity Loss” guide: loss of negative fat, negative habits, negative foods, negative people, negative thoughts and negative actions. 

One-half of all revenue generated from the sale of each book will be used to support the Kingdom of God. Since its incorporation in the Commonwealth of Virginia on June 3rd, 2011, Omega Consulting has donated $1,000 to the Kingdom with more financial support to follow. 

About the Founder: James Hackley just may be the most blessed individual you’ll ever meet. Despite a highly successful sales & marketing career that has spanned the last two decades, his true “calling” is touching the lives of others and inspiring them to want to change for the better. James was able to lose an amazing 50 lbs of fat in just 4 months and has sculpted his 46-yr-old body into the best shape ever. He has learned to significantly reduce stress, quiet the mind and get in touch with his spirit like never before. He’s been able to free himself from a lifetime sentence of high blood pressure and high cholesterol prescription medications. More importantly, he’s been able to inspire those around him to do the same.

Mr. Hackley received a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics from Longwood College, a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Virginia, he’s chaplain of a local chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity and an active member of Holy & Whole Life Changing Ministries International in Loudoun County, Virginia. He currently lives in Sterling, Va. with his beautiful wife Angela and their daughter Landon, enjoys: exercising, running, meditation, reading and simply being used by God.

The Secret to Success in the New Year!




No matter where my travels may take me, each night I get down on bended knees to thank God for bringing me through the day.  I also spend this time asking for wisdom and praying for the exact same things that the often over-looked Biblical character Jabez also petitioned from God. In this classic story, Jabez asks God for four simple things:

1. Bless him indeed (i.e. abundantly)

2. Enlarge his territory (i.e. influence and opportunities)

3. Remain with him

4. Keep him from evil so he may not cause pain to others

These four things may indeed be the “secret” to lasting happiness and success if we only do our part and avoid the things (and people) that are detrimental to the body, mind & spirit. I’ve been saying this prayer each night for more than a year, and it has truly changed my life!

I believe that my life has experienced such success not for simply reciting the Prayer of Jabez, but the effects of this nightly ritual reprograms my subconscious mind  (see my Subconscious Mind blog) ) during the next eight hours while I sleep. Unfortunately, most of us tend to carry the woes of the day into our sleep, so when we arise the next morning our subconscious mind has undergone an 8-hour negativity reinforcement indoctrination.  However, we can begin to reprogram our subconscious mind—which will ultimately affect our conscious mind—by simply spending our last waking moments reinforcing positive thoughts, plans, desires, and aspirations.

This is the true “secret” to guaranteeing that your New Year is more successful than last year.  This is the secret to make sure that you continue your January New Year’s “resolutions” way past the month of February.

Therefore, for the next 365 days I invite you to join me nightly on your bended knees as we thank God for His blessings, pray for wisdom, and recite positive affirmations that will propel us in the days to come! Will you please join me?

The Joy of Running




As many arise on this chilly January 1st morning with the best intentions of making good on their New Year resolutions to lose weight and get healthy, I'm reminded of a hot and steamy July morning. Despite the record breaking heat forecast that was expected to reach triple digits in the Nation’s Capital, I met my fraternity brother Trevor Browne (Roo! to Da Bruhz!) for a 13-mile run.  Now, I was accustomed to knocking out four miles every Saturday and Sunday morning–but 13 miles? C’mon Son!

Trevor is about 6’2” and is built like the East Africans who seem to win every marathon they enter.  He runs this 13 mile course every Saturday morning @ 5:30 a.m., rain or shine and has been recently meeting other local Bruhz at Stone Bridge High School during the week to knock out a quick 5K (3.2 miles) early before work. Yes, “iron sharpens iron” out here in Loudoun County, VA and the Sigma Mu Mu chapter of Omega Psi Phi is gettin’ it in! And if truth be told, my main man Trevor is a beast, like John Mugabi! Lightning is the only thing that will keep him from this weekly run. 

In preparation, I loaded up on carbs for energy and ensured I was properly hydrated.  As we began, I quickly noticed that Trevor had plotted a course that included every hill in eastern Loudoun County.  However, we conquered each hill we faced, and about two miles into the run I found “my zone” and embraced it like a long lost friend.  You see, it was just about five months earlier when I first discovered a joy of running that I never imagined possible. For it was while running that I received an anointing to write the words you are reading right now.

Each stride during this amazing run took my mind back to the spring of 1987 when Dalany “GQ” Brown ran four members of the Omega Psi Phi lampados club from midnight to the break of dawn all around the entire campus of Longwood College. Yours truly, Martin Astrop, Stanley Isaac and Charles Gregory (collectively known as “Penitentiary 4”) ran thru charley horses, fatigue, and blinding sweat across the campus the entire night. Thru our sweat-filled eyes, we saw so many folks “creepin” to and from dorm rooms that we could have easily blackmailed at least half the campus for years!

Anyway, two miles into this record-setting a.m. turned into six miles.  Six miles turned into 10 miles and before I knew it we were back where we had started a little more than two hours earlier. At the end of the run, I felt much better than I had imagined. In fact, thoughts of finally running my first marathon (26.2 miles) began to re-enter my mind, because on that day I conquered my first half-marathon! Although there were no starting lines, no finish lines, no hydration stations, and no running bibs. It was simply two men on a mission. A mission completed!

To you, perhaps the thought of pounding out miles may be as appealing as brushing your teeth with a brick. So why run you ask? It’s monotonous, exhausting and can even be painful. Yes, yes, and yes! However, each individual seems to pick up this healthy habit for his or her own reason. Most often, people run to stay in shape or to reach an ideal body weight. One of the things I’ve mentioned time and again is that a combination of diet and exercise is the most effective way to trim down, as it triggers a loss of body fat and an increase of lean muscle tissue. Running can indeed be a rigorous cardiovascular exercise but it allows us to burn an average of 100 calories per each mile we run. Other popular activities, such as biking and walking, only burn a fraction of these calories in the same amount of time. While the average person burns about 2,000-2,500 calories a day by simply existing, running five miles a day can burn an additional 500 calories. That’s a lb of fat gone every week! In addition, we don’t have to belong to a gym in order to burn these calories. Simply invest in a good pair of running shoes and find a safe place to run. And remember...pain is temporary, but quitting lasts forever.

39 Men Lost an Amazing 337 lbs in Just 12 Months, and You Can Too!




Back in January 2012, when many around the Nation were just beginning to make good on their New Year’s weight loss resolutions, 40+ members of the Sigma Mu Mu chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. decided to begin “Operation Fighting Trim.” These men range in ages from 25 to 65-yrs-old, and all have one thing in common other than the fraternal bond – wellness.

Although some thought it was a nearly impossible task to complete, they pledged to lose a total of 500 lbs over the next 12 months. Today, they’re pleased to announce that their first chapter fat loss challenge, Operation Fighting Trim, was indeed a success! Their total loss for the year was 336.6 lbs, and this is 67% of their 500 lb goal! However, the following points are even more impressive:

  • 44 total names were recorded on their fitness roster over the past year
  • Only 5 chapter members chose not to participate
  • 4 of the participating 39 members had no measurable fat gain or loss
  •  7 gained weight
  • 27 lost weight of whom, one Brother dropped an AMAZING 80 lbs!!!  
It has been agreed that Operation Fighting Trim will continue during 2013, because the brothers of the Sigma Mu Mu chapter of Omega Psi Phi have stumbled upon a life-changing initiative that is beginning to spread throughout the entire Fraternity. Many have improved their risks of: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease.

To find out more about Operation Fighting Trim and how your organization can get into “fighting trim,” please contact Bro. James Hackley who is the author of the bestselling “Negativity Loss” book titled, Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening.

40 Days in the Desert




Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.  After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.  “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
    and they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.  “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.  ~ Matthew 4:1-11


The Bible tells us that “40” is the number of testing, trials, and tribulations, and the passage above is an excellent example of what Jesus experienced (40 days in the desert) immediately after He was baptized by John the Baptist, and “the Holy Spirit fell upon Him.” Additional examples of the significance of the number 40 can be found when examining the length of time Moses spent in the desert after first fleeing Egypt (40 years), or the length of time the Hebrews spent wandering the desert (40 years) after Moses led them all out of Egypt.

Every few months I also go into “the desert” of seclusion, study, and self-discovery, and have just emerged from my latest 40-day desert sojourn. Over the past 40 days I abstained from Facebook, Twitter, blogging, and other forms of social interactions so that I could focus more on what God has been trying to reveal, but perhaps I was just too “pre-occupied” to listen. Like Christ, during this time I was also tempted by Satan but he quickly learned that I wouldn’t fall for the “what is….”  Therefore, he tried to tempt me with the “what if…?” The several forms of temptation that I faced during this period ranged from moral to financial, but I thank God I emerged even stronger!

One of the biggest revelations I received was that although Body, Mind & Spirit: The Awakening has been successful in helping thousands around the globe lose weight, quiet their minds, and improve their relationships with God, there is so much more that my 47-yr journey has prepared me to share with the world. Therefore, over the next few months please lookout for various thought-provoking blogs and YouTube videos about:

·         Sexuality
·         Homosexuality
·         Pornography
·         Masturbation
·         Virginity
·         Why Do People Cheat?
·         Multiple Streams of Income
·         Do You Have a Vision Plan?
·         Why Small Businesses Fail
·         Discovering Your Purpose
·         Leaving the Past in the Past
·         …and so many more topics!

I encourage you to seriously consider embarking on your own “40-day desert experience" in the near future and you’ll be absolutely amazed by what you may discover—about your hidden self. God has deposited seeds of greatness within each of us, but we can no longer continue to nurture these seeds with fear, doubt, confusion, and lack of focus.
