Oprah. Spielberg. Jordan. Edison. Gates. Buffett. Tiger.

“Mike, they’re all multi-millionaires, is that why you’re
telling us about them today?”

No. No. No.

Follow me here amigo.

Read those names above. They’re no different then you and
me.

They all bleed red. They’ve all struggled. They’ve all had
people mock them on their journey. They all have 24 hours
in a day.

Hold.

There is, there is, ONE thing, specifically, they’ve done,
that most haven’t.

“Mike, what is it?”

Patience dear friend.

Let’s keep going.

When we are born we have an additional thing in common.

Here it is.

POTENTIAL.

One more time.

POTENTIAL.

Potential: stored gifts, talents, and abilities that stay
dormant within until they’re activated.

You. Me. All us have, Tiger, Oprah, Buffet, were born with
POTENTIAL.

Potential is activated through release.

Release takes place when you get going and take action.

Here is why you know the names of the people above.

***They Placed a DEMAND on their potential.

Every day they DEMANDED more of themselves.

Through this DEMAND, they kept activating and releasing
more of their inner gifts and talents.

They kept demanding more, taking more action, and they grew
into an ATTRACTION for others.

You become more attractive to others, the more you release
and activate your potential (worth reading again).

You become more attractive to others, when you EXPAND
yourself.

Look at the TV personality Rachel Ray.

First she did a TV show on public access that no one
watched.

Then a show on the Food Network.

Then a 2nd show on the Food Network.

Then a daytime TV show.

Then a magazine.

And I’m sure she even has more going on, that I have no
idea about.

Look around at her and other’s releasing their gifts. They
keep placing a greater DEMAND on their potential.

Potential is locked up inside. If you don’t activate it,
you take it to your grave.

Everyone and everything was created to solve a problem.
When you don’t activate your potential you steal from
yourself and those who DESPERATELY need your solution.

Stop holding onto your seeds (potential).

Start planting them into the soil (others) and watch the
rewards soon follow (harvest).

Don’t wait until everything is ‘right’. Get it going. Yes, I
said GET IT GOING!

Place a greater demand on yourself.

Take 1% more action today. You can do it.

Speak at your local library. Start a website. Hand out
flyers. Start a network group locally. Do something. EXPAND
yourself amigo.

I believe in you. So does everyone else reading this right
now. What amazing gifts the world is waiting for you to
share.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

P.S. Make sure you sign up for my Podcast (right hand
column). I’m about to release some great ‘audio ideas’ soon
and I don’t want you to miss them.

Negativity. Selfishness. Addictions. Depressions. Poverty Mindset.

“Mike, those are some ugly words, why are you sharing them
with me today?”

Amigo, good question.

Let me explain.

Where does negativity, selfishness, addictions, depression,
poverty mindset come from?

There could be many answers to this question, though I’m
going to share one important answer today. One.

Remember this or write it down. You haven’t heard it
before.

***People form habits, habits EFFECT GENERATIONS.

Let me say it again.

***People form habits, habits EFFECT GENERATIONS.

“Mike, what do you mean?”

Hold one second. Follow me here.

This is one of the most important insights I’ve gained over
the last year.

Generations are linked.

Yes, that’s why the rich get richer.

Cities that have a lot of poverty repeat the cycle decade
after decade. The poverty mindset gets passed on.

What we think effects just ‘us’, effects our kids and are
kid’s kids. Yes.

Negativity, employee thinking, aversion to risk,
scatteredness, these limited habits can be passed down,
generation after generation.

Passivity, absentee parents, bad money management skills,
all of it can be passed down.

What are you passing down to your kids and their kids?

Power or weakness?

Focus or scatteredness?

Love or fear?

Seek to become a GENERATIONAL SUCCESS.

Sometimes we make small steps that seem insignificant
today. We have no idea what that EXAMPLE of strength and
positivity means to those around us.

It’s greater than we know.

Pay the price.

Raise the stop sign and say “I’ve had negativity passed on
to me and I’m DETERMINED not to pass it forward to my kids
and generations I’ll never meet.”

Be a hero to people you’ll never meet.

Set an example of perseverance, courage, and consistent
action.

Work on improving your habits 1% each day.

Get up 10 minutes early.

You me, all of us, were born with so much potential, now
it’s up to us how much we’ll use.

***People form habits, habits EFFECT GENERATIONS.

What will be your generational story?

What do you want your legacy to be?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Michael

I said to myself. “How many of them thought they’d end up here.”

“Mike, fill me in.”

You got it amigo, let’s go.

Last night, I was watching the Oscars, with 1 billion other
people around the world.

Some of the stories of the winners and nominees are just
incredible. Inspiring.

As I watched men and woman, young and old approach the stage
to get their awards, it had me thinking.

Here’s what many of them, winners and nominees, had in
common:

Someone in their past didn’t believe in them
Someone in their past, said “You could never make a career of this.”
Sometime in their past, they got on stage and froze
Sometime in their past, they said “No.” to a great opportunity because fear had them in its claws
Sometime in their past they didn’t get a role they really wanted
Sometime in their past a movie they were in bombed
Sometime in their past, the phone stopped ringing with movie offers

Sometime in their past they had a choice.

They thought to themselves, “Should I wait until “I’d be perfect
on stage” or should I just audition and GET MY DREAM GOING.

What if these talented men and woman waited until they were a
‘perfect actor’ before they started.

Would we know their names today?

How much joy would have been stolen from the millions of
moviegoers who’ve enjoyed their work?

How would they feel today if all that POTENTIAL they had
still laid dormant within?

You, I, We. We’ve been given gifts. Talents, abilities,
strengths.

Which will be greater?

The amount of your potential you cultivate, develop and share
in your life.

Or

The amount of your potential that’s buried with you.

Your past taught you perfection.

Today, join hundreds of wonderful actors and actresses who
realized that they didn’t have to get it right, they just had
to get it going.

Last night, 1 billion people around the world sat around
their TV’s and celebrated the life’s work of 250 people. Imagine
that. 1 billion people celebrating 250 people or so.

They didn’t wait to get it right. They just got their acting
career going. Wow, now look where they are.

Get it going amigo. Keep it going.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael
