How Much Space Do You Occupy?

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

(deep breath)

Let’s go.

This is a very powerful idea. At least I think so.

The first time I heard this point being made, I was like “Wow”,
very interesting.

“Mike, tell me right now what it is.”

Amigo, relax. Hold on.

We’ll get there.

First.

Understand that in my opinion the fastest way to fail is to live
SELFISHLY.

Selfish entrepreneurs have SMALL HOUSES and SMALL INCOMES.

Value that you have, that you don’t share, really doesn’t exist.
(read this again)

Onward.

Real success is about service. It is.

I didn’t make this up. For thousands of years, smart people have
been trying to tell us this. Few listen though.

Let’s get to the powerful point that I mentioned above.

Question.

How much SPACE do you take up in the world?

“Mike, what?”

I’ll ask it again.

How much SPACE do you take up in the world?

Let me quote the great Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon’s Hill’s
sponsor.

“Whether a person occupies the position of employer or employee,
the space he occupies in the world is measured precisely by the
quality and the quantity of the service he renders, plus the
mental attitude in which he relates himself to other people.”

Powerful.

And there’s more.

This is what Napoleon Hill added on this same topic.

“And let it be also remembered that the space one occupies in
the hearts of his fellowman is determined precisely by the
service he renders through some form of sharing his blessings.”

He also says, “He who has not learned the blessed art of sharing
has not learned the true path of happiness, for happiness comes
only by sharing.”

2 questions.

How much space do you take up in the world today?

How much space do you desire to take up 12 months from today?

Stop rushing. Stop expecting riches by Friday. Change your mind.

Yes, change your mind. Serve. Share. Profit. (Repeat.)

Think about giving, getting will follow.

Oprah, Gates, Spielberg, Tiger. Look at the space they occupy.

YOUR best days are ahead of you. They certainly are.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

Chasing vs. Serving

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

What looks to be the ‘easy path’ is really the difficult path.

“Mike, that makes little sense, what are you talking about?”

Watch humanity.

Seriously, watch humanity, including what I call ‘ business
opportunity grasshoppers’, people who jump from opportunity to
opportunity every few months.

Humanity seeks to make money. Have you ever met a person who
‘made money’?

We don’t make or print money, we EARN MONEY.

More than that, we even attract money, more on this in a second.

Most of the globe seeks to make money through CHASING MONEY.

Chasers long for the dollar and always seem to end up with a
penny.

Chasers desire ‘get rich quick’ methods and see people as pawns
in their grand schemes.

Most people have spent time as a ‘chaser’ before realizing the
failure of that way of living.

To many, the ‘easy path’ is the longing for the dollar at any
cost. What they later discover is that path is the difficult,
long road to riches.

The journey to confident living and financial riches is going
from chasing to serving.

Read this again.

The journey to confident living and financial riches is going
from chasing to serving.

Success is service.

Success is the transferring of value and solutions to problems,
to someone else.

You attract money through organizing your knowledge, taking
action, with the aim of service/value. Profit will follow.

Chasers are selfish. They barely scrape by.

Servers are unselfish. They always have more than they need.

Those who desire to serve have something even more important
than money.

Inner peace. There’s a inner peace you receive through service.

Service is based on one of nature’s greatest laws. The LAW of
sowing and reaping.

Lose yourself into your prospects and customers.

Create real value for them. LOVERAGE them.

As you commit to this ‘way’, you’ll also see an increase in your
character and self esteem.

We all have a ‘get rich quick’ side of us. Beware of it.
Sometimes you don’t even see it, though it’s there.

Slow down. Relax. Allow yourself to plant success seeds in your
life and business.

The harvest will happen.

Surround yourself with servers, not chasers.

What can you give today? Whom can you serve?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

Why People Self Sabotage

Monday, March 24th, 2008

A mental snapshot.

An image that determines how high or low we’re going to go.

“Mike, tell me more.”

Ok, amigo.

Let’s keep going.

Before we move forward, let me say this.

***You were BORN TO WIN.

You must let this idea sink in. Deep inside.

Yes, too many people today have bought into a distortion of their
potential and possibilities.

They let the image of failure, unworthiness, and undeserving
sink into their spirit.

You MUST buy into the idea that you were BORN TO WIN.

Because you were.

You must BELIEVE it. You MUST FEEL IT.

For too many, their self image, the picture they hold of
themselves mentally has been distorted.

It has been distorted by their environment, friends, and family.

Messages of “You’re no good,” and “Who are you to succeed,” have
taken their toll.

We must RESCRIPT our self image.

It’s been said for years, by many people, that you can’t succeed
past the image you hold in your mind.

This is why people self sabotage themselves. Their inner image
doesn’t support their next level of success.

You must see yourself being crowned a CHAMPION.

You must see yourself happy, smiling, wealthy, and healthy.

You must see yourself with tons of great friends.

You must see yourself making a lasting contribution and
impacting many.

The day you realize on the INSIDE that you were born to win,
everything changes.

Start expecting success. Start expecting accomplishments.

When things are going well, expect them to go even better.

Yes, your best days are ahead of you. Yes, you were born to win.

In all areas of your life. Yes, all areas.

See that now.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael
