There’s More To Life, folks, than just existing…

So many people wander aimlessly through life. They have no direction. They have no goals. They have no dreams.

Your average life does not have to be as good as it gets. There is more to life if you want it.

There are a few quotes I’ve heard over the years…

“If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, How Will You Know Once You’re There?”
“If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.”
“If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.”

These are so true. If you don’t know where you are going, how are you ever going to get there? And if you don’t know where you’re going, well, anywhere you land, will be where you were going… Do you really want to leave it to chance? Do you really just want to accept whatever comes down the pike?

If going to work every day, sitting in a little cubicle or behind a desk, moaning and complaining about how awful it is and how miserable you are… If sitting around watching the “boob tube” or as we like to say “electronic income reducer”… If playing games all day, like Farmville, Mafia Wars, or World of Warcraft (WoW)… If those are all things that you do… I like to call those survival tactics and time wasters. That isn’t really living… that’s just existing and passing time.

There is more to life than just that. Life shouldn’t be deduced into simply existing and surviving… That’s boring and unproductive. I can’t believe that most people live like that. It’s like they are totally blinded to the potential within themselves to be something more, to have a life worth living and enjoying…

I challenge you to think about what you would like your life to be like if there were no limitations on time or finances or ability. Truly think about the things that you want out of life. What is your vision of a perfect life? What would your daily activities be? Think about this – in fact, give it a LOT of thought. Map it out in your mind. Make sure to include all of your senses – what it looks like, sounds like, feels like, smells like, even tastes like. The more of your senses you involve, the stronger the vision, the stronger the vision, the more you program yourself for what it is you truly want.

Now… it’s not just as easy as thinking about what you want out of life and creating your map in your mind. You have to take the necessary actions to bring about the goals you seek. You must take the actions necessary to move you in the right direction towards that vision.

Some people use whiteboards to write phrases on, or a bulletin board to put pictures on. I go one step further. I make “Mind Movies“. A mind movie is a video that includes both the phrases and pictures which can help stimulate more of the senses to give you a more vivid experience in helping you realize your dreams than the stand alone methods can.

Once you have decided what it is you want, and have it all mapped out in your head, and put it down on something, whether it’s writing it out, putting phrases on a whiteboard, putting pictures on a bulletin board, or making a Mind Movie, you have to take the appropriate action to get yourself there. You can’t just visualize it and then think that all you have to do is wait for it to come to you. Nothing is achieved from laziness. You have to take the ideas and inspirations you will receive and then roll with them.

Once you decide where it is that you want to go, the universe will mysteriously direct you on how to get there. Opportunities will pop up, you will get ideas and/or inspirations of things you can do. When that happens, you have to grab the bull by the horns and go for it. This is the universe directing you towards what you want. Don’t ignore it. This is your chance to create the life that you want.

Now… if watching TV, playing games, and merely existing or surviving is what you want out of life. Well, more power to you, I can’t stop you. As long as you enjoy your life, that’s what matters. Each one of us has a role to play in this universe. Not everyone wants the same thing.

For me, though, I believe that there’s more to life than just that, and I’m going to do everything in my power to make it happen!

Until next time…

One of the biggest obstacles I’m seeing in the Online Marketing Industry is simple: Mindset. If your Mindset is holding you back, I can help you.

I used to struggle with a poor mindset. Not poor in financial means, but poor as in bad. Over the past year, I have worked greatly on my mindset and I am now a completely different person than I was before. I am much stronger, confident, outgoing, etc… This is not to say I don’t have anything left to conquer… Working with your mindset is a lifetime task.

You are constantly presented with ideas, which in turn, turn into your beliefs. Your beliefs rule your mindset, and thus, you yourself. But, I have good news. If you don’t like how you are, there is hope. You can change your mindset, and in doing so, change yourself.

I’ve often heard it said, if you don’t like how something is, wait five minutes and it will change. I’ve usually heard it applied to the weather in certain cities. But this is true of anything. What you feed yourself mentally determines how you see things.

I’ve seen countless case studies of how belief shapes a person. For example, a student believes they are bad at math and they just don’t get it. The student’s poor grades “confirm” that fact. In essence, however, they have led themselves to believe that they are bad in math, and therefore, the reflective grades only “prove” to the student that they were right.

I’ve heard this compared to being hypnotized, in that a hypnotist plants a certain suggestion in the subject and convinces him that it is true. Once the subject “believes” that whatever it is, is true, it happens. Such as in the case of a weight lifter being told that he absolutely could not lift a pencil off of a desk, when normally he could lift over 400 pounds over his head.

When we feed ourselves thoughts and ideas every day that we can or can not do something, our mind kicks into gear in order to make those thoughts and ideas true.

So, I have to ask you. Is your mindset holding you back? Is there some thought or idea there that you can’t do something? If so, let’s try for the next 21 days to re-program your mindset. Reverse those negative limiting beliefs into positive beliefs. Is there something you want to do, but think you can’t? Tell yourself you can. Convince yourself in your mind that you can do that. Visualize yourself doing what you have been wanting to do at night before you go to bed, in the morning as you wake up, and as many times during the day that you can. Visualize your goal and try not to just see it, but hear it, smell it, taste it, and touch it. When you involve all of your senses, it makes the experience much more vivid and memorable.

If you can do this for the next 21 days, I’m certain that whatever your limiting belief was, will be just a distant memory, and a new you will have emerged, doing and being the person you want to be. It starts with you. Shed the negative limiting beliefs and stand tall with your new image of yourself. I believe in you. You should believe in yourself now.

Until next time…

Folks…  Laziness and Procrastination are your evil enemies!  Don’t let them stop you!

Now… It’s late… it’s quarter to one in the morning. I should be tired and dragging after my long day and just wanting to crawl into bed. But… Someone reminded me that this morning is a GREAT morning! It’s the best morning of my life, because I CHOOSE to make it so.

Earlier, I had thoughts of just chucking it all, vegging out, and going back to a boring life with no hope of prosperity. But then I got to thinking. Laziness and Procrastination just do not suit me anymore. In my old life, yes they did. I was the queen of lazy and what I could put off for another day, I would.

But seriously, folks… Where in the heck does that ever get you? Is that really all you want out of life? Is that as good as it gets? NO!!!

If you would just get off your lazy butt and tell that stupid voice sitting on your shoulder to just pipe down and shut the heck up… You might… You just might… GET SOMEWHERE!

I have a voice! And my voice deserves to be heard! I have a cause in my heart and something worth fighting for. And that, folks, feels great! And I’m telling that laziness and that procrastination to move over, there’s a new Sheriff in town! And that’s my pure will and determination to make a better life, to be someone important, to love myself, and to love my life! I’m going to get up each morning and make a difference! I’m going to go to bed each night knowing I’ve made that difference, that I’ve helped someone!

If it is to be, it’s up to me! And I am up for the challenge! Who’s With Me?!?! Who’s ready to no longer be lazy? Who’s ready to take action now instead of putting it off until later? Come on! You can do it! You may think, “But I’m just one voice, how can I make a difference?”. Well, that’s true, but do you realize the impact of your voice on any given stranger at any given time? How what you say may make a lasting impact on someone? Even a smile goes a long, long way… And together… Together we can make a difference!

Just say no to Laziness and Procrastination! Embrace your new life filled with possibilities and opportunities!

We live in a world of Change. Think back… once upon a time there were 8-tracks, then records, then cassette tapes, then CD’s, now downloadable MP3′s… Most teenagers nowadays wonder why CD’s are sometimes still referred to as “Albums”. Think back to when the first color TV came out that only had 4 stations… or phones that had dials that you had to poke your fingers through to dial, heck even further back to when you just picked up the receiver and told the operator who you wanted to call and there were things they called “party lines” and then there were touch tone phones and now we’ve evolved into having mobile cell phones.

Change is inevitable and is all around us. Change is inescapable. It all boils down to… how you handle changes.

Now… stay in the 3% Leader space with me here a few moments.

I’ve developed an acute awareness of change. You can be a 97%’er in how you face it or you can be a 3%’er. But let me tell ya, folks… 97%’ers are people who are resistant to change. I’ve asked myself at times “I’m not immune to it, why am I resistant to change?” And really, it’s quite simple. I’ve even asked myself “Is it in my genes?” Well… actually…. That is the perfect explanation.

Every human being is genetically programed to resist change and maintain a state of equilibrium. The condition is known as Homeostasis. It’s evolved naturally over time as a means by which our ancestors could survive constantly changing conditions. And when an environment change occurs in our own lives, our internal mechanisms jump into play to regulate the new influence and return our body to, what biologists call, a steady state. Essentially, the condition of equilibrium we call Homeostasis, developed from our need of stability and security.

Now… Here’s the problem. The problem is that the mechanism works to keep things as they are… EVEN when more favorable possibilities exist. It doesn’t distinguish between change that would make life better and change that would make things worse. It simply resists any and all change.

Now, again, stay with me in the 3% perspective here…

I’ve come to understand that this is part of our sub-conscious. Remember, our sub-conscious mind is WAY more powerful than our conscious mind. It’s on auto-pilot. That’s why we talk about why affirmations are such a vital component to reprogramming ourselves. When we repeat something over and over again, even if we don’t believe it at first, you don’t believe it, you eventually DO believe it, physically you believe it.

Here’s another example of your sub-conscious mind not knowing the difference between truth and fiction… Chances are, if you have watched the movie “Old Yeller”, and you have a pulse, at the end of the movie you teared up. Now… Your conscious mind KNOWS that the movie is just a story, it’s fictitious, BUT your sub-conscious mind does NOT know that, and that’s why you teared up.

The point here is this. Genetically, we have this condition, Homeostasis, and the mechanism is designed to keep things as they are even when more favorable possibilities exist. So… has every single one of us been genetically designed to resist change? The answer, simply put, is YES. That’s why people have such a hard time breaking out of their regions of security, they find it hard to adapt new habits, learn a new skill, or cultivate a new skill. The GOOD news is… a Homeostat CAN be re-set and change can be embraced. Now… Here’s the bad news… sometimes, re-setting process we go through, often times, brings stress, it brings pain, and it brings a certain amount of fear with it too.

Let’s break this down a little bit more. Do you enjoy moving? Really? I mean REALLY enjoy moving? Now, it could be next door or it could be across the globe. To use some colloquial language here, moving BITES! Why? It’s kind of simple to understand now, isn’t it? That re-setting process brings a certain level of stress and pain and sometimes even a bit of fear. It’s change.

But never forget. 3% Leaders know the secret. See… We understand that the lesson, and/or to alleviate that said stress and anxiety, we continually remind ourselves and the people around us WHY the change is required and we stay connected to the many many BENEFITS that will result from it.

3% Leaders openly share that change will bring us all that much closer to the compelling cause we are all striving towards. 3% Leaders show ourselves and others how the change will ultimately improve their lives and allow them to be more effective, and ultimately that example makes people aware of how the change will help them, not only help themselves, but help them serve others and help make a much, much deeper contribution.

I want you to master change. I want to help you master change by giving you the knowledge to change.

There is a Law of Nature called the Law of Environment. A seed grows into a plant only when the soil and the moisture, and the temperature are favorable. In other words, the environment must be ideal.

To manage change effectively though, as a visionary leader, you must provide the ideal culture in which people can respond positively to change and grow in the process. What kind of culture would that be? You must create a learning culture. You must champion intellectual development. No new skills equals no new money. You must foster a workplace, an environment, around you that rewards constant learning and skills improvement. The best way to combat the fear and strain that change invokes is to become knowledgeable about it. The best antidote for fear is knowledge. Don’t get lazy about learning. Stay competitive in this new area. You must let everyone know you’ve got to continually be learning. Because, ultimately, that inspires new ideas, new information, and remember, it boils down to this… He or she who learns the most, wins.

Simply put, 3% Leaders are Learners and EMBRACE the change. There is JOY in change. Without change, there can be no growth. And without change, there can be no improvement. And without change, there can be no progress. Understand… This is the Way of the World. Change is ESSENTIAL to our Evolution as a Civilization and it’s necessary to our very SURVIVAL. Change is Humanity’s Best Friend.

97%’ers fight it. 3% Leaders DELIGHT in it. Embrace the change! Understand there is JOY in it. That’s why I’m here for you to learn from. Be that 3% Leader today. Embrace a new skill today. Play FULL OUT and watch what happens.

Until next time…

3% Leaders are strong in three areas – Strength of Self Mastery, Strength of Action, and Strength of Relationships.

Some people may be strong in one or two areas, but weak in the others. Success in Leadership takes mastering the total package, the combination of all three. Heighten your awareness in each of the categories to assist you in the process of mastering all three.

It is no coincidence that number one is Self Mastery. Unless you can master your self, what else can you hope to master? The Genesis of Self Mastery is knowing who you ARE. Now who you’ve been up to this point. Too often we define ourselves by our past. Don’t spend wasteful time dwelling on your past. You are not a victim of your past. Begin defining yourself as who you are BECOMING. That is who you are. Not what you’ve done in the past or what you’ve accomplished.

The common denominator between successful proven leaders is that we all deserve to embrace into the cellular structure of who we are – the simple concept of Personal Responsibility. Personal Responsibility is the first Decision of Success – The Buck Stops With Me. Complete ownership of everything in your life, not just your career, will enhance your business, your enterprise, and your life.

At the start of Strength of Self Mastery, we discussed proper goal setting. Don’t make it more complicated than it really is. What is it What is that one thing in your life that when you’re backed up into the corner, that you say no more, turn around, and you’ve got that look in your eye, I don’t care if you’ve got foam coming out of your mouth, you go, this is my goal, I dare you to stop me. That is a real goal. It’s not a wish. It’s not a want. It’s going to happen.

Stick To Your Mission! These are 4 very important words. Write them on your whiteboard, or on a piece of paper and stick it to your computer, your fridge, your bathroom mirror. Wherever you will see it constantly throughout your day. Stick To Your Mission!

There is an old ancient adage. If you want to beat someone, distract them. Many things throughout your day will be masqueraded as opportunities. These opportunities will present themselves because of a particular talent that you possess. Maybe it’s because somebody will find something in you that at least you will listen to them. Be clear that distractions are anything that gets between you and your goal. (Such as sleep! lol Just kidding!)

What is your mission? Can you define it in just one or two sentences? Can you list opportunities in your path that are really distractions? Are you going to allow yourself to get distracted? Distractions could be phone calls, or e-mails, or any number of things that keep you from doing the things that will move you forward.

Plan your day before it plans you! None of us have arrived, because we let distractions get in our way. Find things in your day that will move you forward and Stick To Your Mission!

Learn to master each of the three strengths of the proven leaders: Strength of Self Mastery, Strength of Action, and Strength of Relationships.

One of the five things that Leaders do every day is visualize their Goals.

A lot of people may have problems with Goal setting. But folks, let me tell you… If you don’t know exactly what you want, you are cheating yourself. It can also be said that if you don’t know where you are going how will you know if you get there? Don’t let yourself float through life – have a plan – have goals – get that mental map of where you are going. Know what you want in life and go after it!

When asked what your goals are, do you say get out of debt? Really? That’s what you want? You want to get to zero??? Come on! Think bigger! What is it that you REALLY want? (Oh, and instead of saying get out of debt, try rephrasing it to taking care of your OBLIGATIONS – it’s amazing at what some simple vocabulary changes can do to the energy around your thoughts) But seriously, play a bigger game than that. Go for what you really want and you’ll take care of all of that in the wake.

A friend shared with me, that a leader in his life grilled him on what he wanted, what he really wanted. Finally, he got so ticked off that he was backed into a corner, that he got a moment of clarity, complete authenticity, full self-expression, and he said “You want to know what I want? I’ll tell you what I want! I want my kids to wake me up in the morning, not from the alarm clock, I want them to wake me up in the morning, and I want to have breakfast with them, I want to make their lunch, I want to sit at a table, I want to have a bowl of Cheerios with them, I want to have my wife, I want us all to be in our pajamas, I want us to be together as a family, I want to be the primary influence in their life. You want to challenge me on that? That’s what I want! Now back off!” He said he could hear his mentor smile on the other end of the line and his mentor said to him “Don’t ever forget that. We finally got to what you really want.”

It’s not about the money, it’s about what the money will get you. Money is just ink on paper. Think about what you will do with that money, how you will feel, what you are like, what you do with your day. Feel it. Visualize it. Take it all in. Make it so crystal clear in your mind that you could paint it on a canvas.

Is it a goal where you finally just turn around, your back is to the corner, and you just turn around and you’ve got that look in your eye, and you’re saying to yourself and the rest of the world, “This is what I want! Nobody’s going to stop me from getting it. It’s a goal worth dying for. Somebody just TRY and stop me!”?

The leaders in your life are here and looking to help you achieve that goal. Resources are here to help you accomplish what you want in life. What are you willing to fight for? Are you willing to do whatever it takes? Will you persist without exception? Do you want it bad enough?

Folks… don’t compromise on your goals. I want you to sit down, right now, and really think. What is it that you REALLY want. Not the mundane things (like material items – houses, cars, and doo-dads), but deep down, what is your ultimate goal in life? What do you want your life to be like? Who do you want to be? What do you want to do?

Think of your goal. Think of the person that you are having accomplished that goal. See it, feel it, hear it, touch it. Use all of your senses. Make that goal so crystal clear it’s like a movie in your mind. Make it so crystal clear that you could paint it on a canvas. Visualize that goal as you wake up in the morning, before you go to sleep at night, and as many times in between as you can. Strive with all your might to achieve that goal. Use the resources that you have around you. Talk to other people who have achieved similar goals and find out what they did every day to accomplish that goal. Fight for that goal. Go after it with everything in you. You deserve it! You are worth it!

Until next time…

If you want to be a 3% Leader, you must separate yourself from the rest of the herd. Bring that special something something to the game.

3% Leaders see every situation in terms of available resources – materials, technology, and most importantly, people. People are your greatest asset. What separates the 3% Leaders from the rest of the herd is the way that they see the available resources and what they DO with the resources.

If you want to be in the game to win, you can’t just expect to show up and win, you have to use the resources available to you and set yourself up to win. It may be a long grueling “season”, but if you stack the odds in your favor, you WILL get your “win”.

Dallas Braden, a virtually unknown Oakland A’s major league pitcher, pitched the 19th Perfect Game in the history of Major League Baseball on Sunday, May 9, 2010. When asked how he could go from unknown to pitching the perfect game, he said he always showed up to pitch a no-hitter, the perfect game.

Showing up is a large part, but showing up to win is even bigger. You have to visualize that “perfect pitch”.

Napoleon Hill said in his book, Think & Grow Rich, that anything man can conceive, he can achieve. We all have the ability as entrepreneurs to conceive and achieve the impossible. You just need to use all the tools you have, all the resources you have, and bring your greatest game every time.

So, show up, use your team, and keep throwing. Plug in and create it for yourself.

Commitment To Taking Action:
I’m not sure what your situation is, but if you are not committed to taking action and doing the things that need to be done, the things that will move you forward towards your goals, I can assure you, you will fail at whatever you are attempting to accomplish.

Commitment to taking action is especially important when it comes to running your own home based business.  You no longer have a boss breathing down your back, constantly looking over your shoulder, making sure that you are doing the work that you are supposed to be doing.  You are your boss.  Hopefully, you are a good one and you keep yourself on track.

When it seems like things aren’t working, don’t give up.  Just step back and reassess where you are and where you want to be.  Keep going after it, never loose your dream.

The moment you think about quitting, I want you to think about something.  In Napoleon Hill’s book, Think and Grow Rich, there is a story about a Prospector who is digging around and finds some gold.  After digging a little more, he finds a couple more nuggests.  He sets up a mine and continues to dig, but no more gold is found.  Finally, after years of digging with no success, he gives up, quits, and sells the mine, only to find out that he was only 3 feet away from the gold from the point he started, he had just been digging in the wrong direction.  Think about how far away you could be from your gold.  Do you still want to quit?

Commitment To Self Mastery
Successful leaders have a commitment to self mastery.  They let their flesh know who’s in charge.  Look for ways to say no to yourself every day.  If you do, you’ll be able to do it when it really counts.  Zero in on the undiciplined areas of your life that you excuse or postpone dealing with.  Everything may be permissable to you, but not everything is beneficial.  If in doubt, ask yourself if it is beneficial to do whatever you are thinking about.  How many times do you say to yourself “I know I need to change, I will tomorrow”?

You have the right to spend your time and money how ever you please, but you do not have the right to complain when the law of diminishing returns kicks in and you finish in the poor house.  You have the right to fill your mind with any kind of garbage that you choose.  But understand this, constant exposure to the wrong things will weaken your character, rob you of self respect, and eventually enslave you.  When it comes to replacing bad habits with good ones, only one person is going to make it happen, and that is you.  Your character, the sum total of your every day choices, day by day, what you think, what you choose, and what you do, is what you become.

Stay committed to taking action.  Never give up, keep going after it, and take the actions that need to be taken to move you forward towards your goals.  Be that 3% kind of leader today.
