MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit."

— Aristotle: A Greek philosopher

GENERATE MORE WEALTH

Did you read the motivational quote above yet? Good, I‘ve got a lot to share with you on this one. I recently read a book that said if you wanted to be considered a world class expert on a topic you need to spend 10,000 hours studying and doing “IT!”

Sounds like a lot of time so let’s break it down ok?

40 hours a week—50 weeks a year (two weeks off)
That’s only 2,000 hours.

2000 hours x 5 years = $10,000

LOOKING BACK AT MY OWN LIFE—THAT’S PRETTY CLOSE

Years ago I was struggling. I actually thought that was what I was supposed to do. Aren’t you supposed to work hard and struggle? Isn’t it supposed to be hard?

YES YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD ...

The truth is that most of us give up way too soon. Many of the people I have coached and consulted for gave up right when success was around the corner.

Now compare this to the attitude of I WILL MAKE IT NO MATTER WHAT! These are the ones who succeed. They cut off the safety net so they have no other choice.

Years ago I was petrified of computers or any technology for that matter. But I determined to learn it and become an expert.

I then went on to create multiple online businesses that each generated multi- millions of dollars annually and were valued at millions of dollars.

(I am currently creating one of these businesses in the mobile marketing space)

When I started in the mortgage business my manager gave me a product book and told me to “GO GET EM!” Again, I had no idea what I was doing but I was GOING TO MAKE IT NO MATTER WHAT!

I then went on to learn—become a nationally known expert and of course teach and coach tens of thousands of others.

AM I STAMMERING HERE? Or are you with me?

There are a few things I want you to take away from this article.

FIRST—DETERMINE YOUR GOAL AND MAKE SURE IT’S WORTH
YOUR INVESTMENT IN ENERGY AND TIME.

SECOND—BE DETERMINED. BE ABOUT IT!

That’s a phrase one of my coaching members coined. Meaning, that is all I thought
about all day and night 24/7/365. Always thinking about your “It” and how to make it happen. Being willing to put in the effort and take the risk so you can get the reward. The alternative is to just be safe and mediocre and have your income and fate determined by others. Before you get too discouraged ...

THERE IS ACTUALLY A SHORT CUT I DISCOVERED AND WANT TO SHARE.

Find someone who has already accomplished what you want to accomplish. They have already made the mistakes. They have already figured it out. They can provide you with the ultimate shortcut.

YES—There will be a price—but there’s a price in not getting expert help too and just struggling.

GENERATE MORE PROFIT

This past weekend I was a guest on a radio show. The host who does a great job started to speak about success and some strategies for attaining success in the current economy.

It got me thinking about the strategy of “HOPING” and how truly ridiculous that strategy is. Good to be optimistic, but HOPE IS NOT a STRATEGY.

Let’s discuss that in greater detail here ok?

When I traveled around the country speaking one of the first questions I always asked my audience was “WHAT WOULD YOU DO FIRST IF I TOLD YOU TO GET TO KALAMZOO BY MIDNIGHT TOMMOROW AND I WILL GIVE YOU ONE MILLION DOLLARS?”

STOP READING NOW!!!! AND THINK BEFORE YOU CONTINUE READING!

Most of the responses I got were "book a ticket," “get in my car and drive," “get on a train” etc. And I guess at first glance that is really good. IMPLEMENTATION is a real key to success as I have shared in my portion of THE PHENOMENON(tm) DVD ADVENTURE

NOW stop and take a step back for a moment. Most people reading this have no idea where Kalamazoo is? Do they have an airport? How long does it take to drive there? What route do you take? Does the train stop there or in another town which means you would have to drive? If you did drive how long will it take? Will you get there in time? Remember there is a time limit here. If you don’t get there by midnight you don’t get the one million dollars.

I know you are probably saying ... GET TO THE POINT BRIAN … so here goes.

Ask anyone if they want to be successful and of course they will say “YES." Some even take action possibly even too much action because it is not focused action? So just doing stuff will NOT make you wealthy or produce profits for you … So let me go into some detail on exactly what TO DO ...

Step 1—Know what you want. Write it down. EX: "Get 1 million dollars"

Step 2—Know what you must do to accomplish it. Write them down– EX: "Get to Kalamazoo by midnight."

Step 3—Create a plan. Again write it down. EX: Map the route to Kalamazoo.

Step 4—Monitor Your Progress. Do this weekly. EX: Did you take the wrong exit or highway?

I know this may all sound very simplistic to you but it DOES work. Knowing what you want, knowing when you want to get it by (date), knowing how you are going to get it and finally, monitoring your progress will get you there!

It might be the fact that you write it down or it might be the whole constant exercise of reviewing your progress which makes you keep that “dream” or goal on your radar constantly.

As Nike says “Just do it ”—don’t just read it!

To Your Next 12 Months,
