It seems a lot of people are looking for the easy button in their lives. They want to hit a button and have their lives instantly fulfilled overnight. I hate to break it to you but there is no easy button to achieve greatness in anything. To get where you want to go it’s going to take work. Serious hard work. I think Americans see musicians and actors all of the sudden pop up out of nowhere and become famous and wealthy. They think that it can be done instantly. What we don’t see is the years of hard work that got them to that tipping point.  There is no magical chant or potion that made them that way, they simply put in the time to get where they wanted to go.

Dan Kennedy has a great quote: “I’m an overnight success after 20 years.”

If it took you 5 years to achieve all of your dreams— would it be worth it to dedicate the time it would take to get what you want? Of course! There is another saying I live by: “I will be temporarily slammed busy in order to be permanently lazy IF I choose to be.” However – if you know me… you know that ain’t gonna happen… hahahaha… If you want to be successful in anything, YOU have to put in the time. Make the decision. As with most things in life, you get what you put in. Put in the work and time, you’ll get there.

“That will never work, my aunt tried the same thing and failed.” Those were the words that came out of a prospect for my network marketing company, Visalus. I think learning from others mistakes can be beneficial, but it can also hurt you too. You see, where others fail doesn’t mean you will too. Just because your aunt Sue can’t market a product, doesn’t mean you can’t. Just because Richard can’t start a business properly doesn’t mean you can’t either.

Your results are your own and determined by what you put in. How do you know that they even took the product out of the shrink wrap? Do you know if they properly trained themselves? Do you know if they treated it like a real business, or just simply “this thing they are doing.”Don’t inhale the smoke others blow. Their failure could have happened for all sorts of reasons.

Their failure has nothing to do with you.  ONLY YOU can determine your success or failure.  Don’t let others decide it before you even get started!?!

This is a powerful video with facts about the world today and where we fit into that world. We need to start paying attention to the internet and how to make more money or side money using the greatest connection tool ever created.

Imagine walking into a bank, cash everywhere, free for the taking. That’s the Internet!!  It’s all about location, location, location…. and there is NOT a better location than the internet!

That being said…. I have a question for everyone out there, “If it were possible to earn a 6 figure income, your FIRST year in business marketing a new health care line from an award winning Doctor, would it be worth a half  hour of your time to see if you qualify?” What would you say?

There is a video circulating on YOUTUBE right now and the internet is expanding like crazy —- meaning…. that’s a great place to be in business right now. I am looking for strong sales people and motivated learners. Money flows to people that are constantly changing and learning… if you stop learning — money will flow to everyone but you!

There are plenty of success stories out there…. like youtube, facebook, fark, twitter, ning, flickr etc etc etc…. the age of the internet is here.  Gen Y is going to be bigger than the Baby Boomers this year!! 201o is full of great promise for everyone that is willing to go after it.

Think about this video. Think about your financial future. Email me: hazen@hazenchristensen.com

Are you working for broke?

http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/digg_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/reddit_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/stumbleupon_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/delicious_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/newsvine_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/technorati_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/magnolia_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/google_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/myspace_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/facebook_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/yahoobuzz_48.png http://hazenchristensen.com/wp-content/plugins/sociofluid/images/twitter_48.png

200383283-001I know a person that wants to succeed. Well they say they do anyway, but I think otherwise. I feel this way because they are working for broke. What do I mean? That their lifestyle habits, thoughts and choices are all engrossed with poverty thinking and are dispelling potential success. It’s as if everything about them does the exact opposite of what they say they “want.” Maybe they don’t really even know what’s happening to them?  Maybe they are just lost in the zip and zoom of life…. Maybe and this is the most likely…. they just don’t have a plan or any set goals…. Do they really want success or are they working for broke?

I want to show you two examples:

Today I was shopping at Kroger and noticed a woman. She had the most intricate coupon system I have ever seen. She had folders packed with coupons all labeled and color coded by departments. I wish I could have gotten a picture to show you what I mean, it was pure nuts. I ended up behind her at the checkout and it took 20 minutes just to ring her up with all these coupons. They had to call the manager to do an override, check all the expiration dates and look up prices. I asked her how long it took her to find all of those deals. She told me she spent all morning going through papers and direct mailers finding them. ALL MORNING. I am not saying coupons are a bad thing at all, don’t get me wrong here. I am in full support of coupons (heck in my advertising for clients I use them all the time!), but this obviously took this woman hours to do. Hours she could be spending elsewhere.

Heres another: This past Friday was black Friday. Tons of crazy deals at stores all over if you are an early riser willing to take on crowds. I drove by Best Buy and saw people camping outside just to get special deals. I’m a curious person, so I pulled up in front and asked them what they were waiting on. Their answer: to get a hundred bucks off a TV. Literally camping the night before just to be the first in line to get a deal for a hundred bucks. I know what you are thinking here…. $100 off a TV… yeah… that’s pretty good except when you realize it’s for a box that makes you dumber.  Wow- I know… camping best buy

Most people if you ask them if they want success will tell you that they do. The real down and dirty truth is that they are lying to themselves. They won’t do what it takes and they spend so much time working to be broke that they will never get what they want. Imagine for a minute if instead of camping out this person dedicated that time to bettering themselves? Maybe learn a new skill that they could market? Perhaps instead of spending four hours cutting coupons they could research that business they always wanted to start.

I’m not sure the exact quote, but I heard or read this from a famous golfer:

Everyone wants to play like me… everyone wants to hit the ball like me…. everyone wants to swing like me… everyone wants to putt like me…. everyone wants to win like me. All I can say is: NO YOU DON’T, NO YOU DON’T, NO YOU DON’T, NO YOU DON’T because the truth is… if you wanted to play like me – you would be up at dawn and going home after dark with bloody hands covered in bandages to stop the blisters from bleeding… your back would killing you from the pain after swinging all day long. You dont’ want what I have or be what I am… it takes sacrifice, dedication and hard work…. YOU REALLY DON’T want to be me… or you would be teeing off next to me…

I love this quote. The truth is that many of us out there spend so much time working for broke that they spend no time at all on what can really can get them closer to success. Imagine just how hard you really have to work at being broke. The time it takes to cut out all those coupons. The pain and embarrassment of having to get money from others just to pay the bills or to eat. Not being able to have the finer things in life. The constant stress from looming bills and expenses. Imagine just how much easier life could be. It’s time for a new plan…. it’s time to set some attainable goals and set some more.  Ask yourself the hard questions…  Are you willing to work for it? Or is your lifestyle set to keep yourself and your family broke?

Unleash your INNER Giant…

ross-giantmanDenial yourself is one of the saddest tragedies of our world today. Funny saying – Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt… hahahaha.  We are bigger and better than that…. aren’t we?  We have millions of people out there that are holding themselves back by denying their extraordinary ability to accomplish anything they want.  Unleash your INNER giant!

They deny who they are.
They deny who they could become.
They deny their future success.

Right now, there is someone somewhere holding onto a new invention, a new symphony, a new cure, a new book or a new business idea inside themselves that could revolutionize their industry. We have assistants that should be running companies. There are back up singers that should taking the front stage. However, their self doubt has held them back. They sabotage their success with internal statements like: “I couldn’t do that. I don’t have the education.” Or “I’m not good enough. There are thousands of people better than me.”

They have denied their inner giant. They have denied their ability. They have told themselves that success is for other people and not for them.

You have untold talent right before you. It’s lingering inside of you. Right within your grasp. If you continue to think small, you will remain small. You are capable of doing great things. You have talent inside of you waiting to burst out and carry yourself into greatness. I truly believe that you can do something incredible, if you dedicate yourself to your success. Stop holding yourself back. Stop limiting your own supply.

You have the talent.
You have the knowledge.
You have the ability.

SO USE IT.

Are you denying your inner giant?

Steam_Locomotive-300x213A train is strong on a railroad but If you took it off it’s tracks it would be weak and not get very far. Entrepreneurs are often like trains. You may be strong in one area, like the train when its on the tracks, but not in others. Perhaps you are creative in business ideas but terrible at organization. It’s okay. There is nothing wrong with it. No one is incredible at everything. Entrepreneurs often make the mistake of trying to do and be good at everything themselves. Often it ends up creating a situation where you can’t accomplish your goals. Learn to surround yourself with a great team that can handle the stuff you aren’t as good at. You can build up faster by focusing your talents on where they excel, rather than where there are weak.

profitinthis-225x300

Time is one of your most precious assets in your arsenal to greatness. In business and life you need to find time to create, plan, and do in order to become a success. Sometimes in our hectic schedules, there are days when you just couldn’t get everything done.

One of the biggest reasons this happens is due to the constant noise that is bombarding us and sucking up our time. Noise like facebook, twitter, email, people, and T.V. steal your profits right out from under you. It’s not that these things are necessarily bad, but you must learn to safe guard your work time. Do you really need to know that on facebook Susie says she went to the gym? Do you really care that Timmy is twittering his every move? What is the point? Where does it take you? Is your life any better by knowing this?

Here’s a cool trick I learned from the legendary Lee Milteer (www.milteer.com), ask yourself: What Is The Profit In This? Lee taught me to question where I was spending my time and whether or not it brought me closer to my goals. Personally, I framed this statement and have it right next to my computer. Every time I start wasting time on facebook, it glares at me and helps keep me focused. I ask myself “what is the profit in this?” How much profit does answering that survey add to my bank account? What is the profit in having a meeting to determine when other meetings are going to be? Zero. Know how much your time is worth and use that figure to determine if you have time for Mafia Wars or to waste time with internet video.
