I Dare You To Be Successful
Just imagine how it would feel to be successful...., to
have sufficient money finding its way into your bank
account on a monthly basis, to have absolutely no sleepless
nights about income and how you are going to pay all the
bills at the end of the month. Just imagine how it would
feel to be able to take a vacation when you want to. Just
imagine how it would feel to pay cash for your next
vehicle.......
It is good to dream! But, are we always just going to dream
about doing things, dream about taking action, dream about
making that move, dream...?
I saw an article tonight by Mike Litman. He described the
difference between successful and passive persons. What
struck me though was his statement at the end. It took him
7 years to "find his focus". Now this is what I have been
looking for - you see: He did not quit. He kept on trying
'till he became successful - He did not quit.
Here are some of Mike's differences between successful and
passive people:
They're always passive at their jobs.
They go for their dreams very "safely".
They "La De Da" through life.
They "hope" something good happens.
From my experience, this is not the right attitude for
success.
"No way, Jose".
Let me share with you an ACTION of success.
Let me share with you a PERSPECTIVE of success that I've
seen through people who are living their dreams, both
personally and financially.
**Successful people...
ACT from a sense of URGENCY.
Let me say that again.
**Successful people ACT from a sense of URGENCY.
There's an URGENCY to accomplish tasks.
There's an URGENCY to live their dreams.
There's an URGENCY to get things done.
They're ATTACKING vs. WAITING.
Big difference.
Huge difference.
You have to go to dreams with a SENSE OF URGENCY.
None of us are going to live 'till 150 years old.
You have to ignite that part of you that can CATAPULT you
to GREATER productivity and ACTION.
Ask yourself:
If I was going to act from a sense of URGENCY, what 2
actions would I take today?
Write them down and then DO IT.
Come on, YOU can do more than you EXPECT of yourself.
You can do it.
YES, you can!
Are you ready or really ready to make your next 7 days
awesome?
I thought so, let's go!
Have a GREAT day and never give up on your dreams! (It took
me 7 years to find my focus, it's not over until you
quit).
Talk to you soon.

Millionaires"

A while ago I offered a young man the chance to run a
niche product website. He had been telling me for a while
how important it was to him to be "in charge" of his own
destiny and how serious he was about being successful. This
opportunity did not cost the young man anything, but his own
time - everything, including training, had been catered
for.
It is now 6 months later. We have been losing customers and
subscribers steadily from this site/product and our young
man shows no sign or sense of urgency.
We had a discussion about this last week. What did he speak
to me about - listen to this: He spoke to me about the next
project he has lined up!! He is not concerned about the
decreasing numbers on the current project. He is not
concerned about turning it around and making a profit or
success out of it. In his dream he is already living the
next successful project. In his dream...
Maybe this was too big for him, maybe he was not really
serious, maybe he did not realise how much work it
takes.... But you know what: He was not interested in
moving out of his comfort zone. Another passive indicator.
Talk is cheap. Dreams are easy, but what we need to do is:
"Actively live our dream"
