Everyone I talk to lately is all caught up in the maze of life.  Which way do I turn? Which way do I go?  Can I find my way back to the start?  Should I go halfway down the left only to turn around and go right?  INDECISION is a business killer... THINK differently and GO OVER THE MAZE…

I always remind my friends, family, and business partners about the realities of getting into a business – any business…  All businesses go through ups and downs – all of them… People will let you down as well – partly because that’s what people do… and you know what I say to that?  Get over it….. fast!…  I have a challenge for you – Pick a business out of the phone book and ask them if they ever have problems?  If they don’t… we will be over there to buy it!!! Hahhahaha… the fact of the matter is… frustrations and problems are part of owning any business… It’s not what happens to you… It’s how you handle it….

Just remember – There are several stages of understanding and processing… .
People may not get it the first, second or third time.  Follow up &
attending events is key and it makes absolute business sense.
Did you buy your business the first time you heard about our company or would you buy any business the first time you heard about it? You might if you make decisions quickly – but a lot of people aren’t like that…

Frustrations….. ???  THE BEST PART IS – it’s worth it…. They are not kidding when they say … you are one away… what if it took you a year… 2 years… 5 years… to find that person and become financially free – financially independent?  Is that too long? Wouldn’t you like to JUST GO FOR IT?  Stop making excuses and just GO FOR IT – give it everything you got…. Then you would know… really know if you could do it… don’t let this be another thing you just tried … went half way… and… just tried….

Wouldn’t you like to be temporarily inconvenienced to become permanently free and lazy if you choose to be? Hahahaha… WOULND’T You though? I mean isn’t your job inconvenient? Aren’t you tired of all the garbage?  All the false promises?  Tired of taking orders? Wouldn’t it be great to do something else and create other income streams while helping other people?  Do what you love and make money at the same time? Maybe you aren’t tired enough….. maybe your WHY isn’t big enough??? THINK about it hard tonight…. really make a decision and go for it…

I TRULY believe you have to scrape your knees, bump your head… fall off the horse… get rejected…etc…. and… then…. You will appreciate your life and your business more…you will get and find your passion… Passion is key… Your WHY is key…. you will get stronger … those “no’s” in life and business are like lifting weights….. learn from your mistakes… do better… fail better… that’s right … fail better…. You can fail and learn how to do a better job…  IN CLOSING – Those frustrations are the calm before the financial storm!!! Go through them… wait them out….. you will find your pot of gold on the other side of the maze….. you are always 1-3 people away from your dreams!!!  IF YOU WANT TO DO MORE in LIFE – these are the things you must go through and you will enjoy the fruits of your labor!!! IT’S WORTH IT…

How can you do something worthwhile while you are the “victim” of circumstances or your environment? When you’re down on your luck with the world against you? How can you be a success when you think that success is for other people favored to be wealthy and not for you? Or my personal favorite….

How can you be a success while you are a professional victim?

How can you rise above while holding onto thoughts such as these? You cannot become something other than the thoughts you hold true about yourself. There is no way possible for someone to succeed while they think, live and talk as a failure. One of my favorite quotes of all time:

You are your limitations.
If it’s going to BE…. It’s up to ME.
If you think you can or you think you can’t – YOU’RE RIGHT!

So true. We create our lives by our limits. They make up who we are. Our belief in ourselves creates who we are and what we can do. Nothing can help the person who has given up hope in their ability to succeed. There is nothing sadder than the person who lays down and gives in to the notion that they cannot. All of our discoverers, inventors, revolutionaries and builders all had unshakable belief in their ability to succeed. Faith in yourself eliminates fear, doubt and uncertainty and allows you to push forward when everything tells you to pull back. It keeps you moving with the world on your back. Without faith, your limitations can cripple your achievement. If you believe you will fail most likely you will attract that very thing. You are who you think you are. If you think failure you will become one.

Don’t ever say that you can’t do something. Change your philosophy and ask yourself how can you do it.  YOU MIGHT just surprise yourself!!!

It’s always something…hahahaha… right?

It reminded me how many of us are like a car with the emergency brake on. We have allowed ourselves to let some outside force hold us back or keep us from giving it our full effort.

In order to fully go after what you want in life you have to let go of what is holding you back. You have to let go of the emergency brake and just go for it. Perhaps your past results are keeping you from giving it your all. Whatever it is, let it go and move forward. If you don’t let go of your fears you will never be able to fly towards your goals. Robert Kiyosaki said, as well as others, that fear is just False Evidence Appearing Real.  What do you think?

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
– Lao Tzu

Some think it’s holding on that makes one strong; sometimes it’s letting go.
– Sylvia Robinson

Stand up and walk out of your history.
– Phil McGraw

The harder you fight to hold on to specific assumptions, the more likely there’s gold in letting go of them.
– John Seely Brown

Are you driving with the emergency brake on? Is something holding you back from going after your goals? Drop the excuses, and go for it.

This is amazing.  Why didn’t we all think of this right?  I mean… it’s your wedding day.  We should be dancing on the roof.  We are all holding back in life.  We are all afraid of what people think to some degree and this couple and their friends went for it!

Go that extra mile… rise up that extra degree. It really can make all the difference in the world.
