They Defeat Themselves

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Complaining.

Complaining.

Complaining.

Earlier this morning I was at the gym and I overheard a
conversation.

A negative conversation.

From gas prices to layoffs, this person was complaining about
everything.

Blah, blah, blah, this person DEFEATED HIMSELF.

The economy didn’t defeat him, his boss didn’t defeat him, he
DEFEATED HIMSELF.

That’s the power of our MENTAL ATTITUDE.

It can cause us to WIN, to TRIUMPH, or to defeat ourselves.

This is very important.

It’s so easy to look to the left or look to the right and
find somebody complaining about something.

It’s so easy to join in. Misery loves company.

Don’t do it.

Don’t.

YOU weren’t born to complain. YOU my friend were born to WIN.

We make our own economy.

Work on yourself. Become valuable to others.

Become ATTRACTIVE to others.

Become a problem solver to others.

Don’t pass on a complaining, victim driven attitude to your
kids.

Pass on the SPIRIT of a HERO. A winner.

Don’t take two steps today. Take one.

Move forward 1%. Yes, just 1%.

Start speaking TRIUMPH over your life.

Say:

I am VALUABLE.

People are drawn to me.

I am TALENTED.

I like people and people like me.

Amigo, start going the extra mile for others.

Watch what happens.

Get clear on what you want.

If you’re at a job right now and you want to leave it.

Find out how much money you need to make consistently each
month to leave that job and make that your goal.

Don’t make $1,000,000 your goal. Make it your goal for your
business to pay your monthly expenses plus.

Get started. Don’t join the ‘complaining party’

That party will always be there. You’re ABOVE IT.

The world is waiting to EXPERIENCE your gifts, talents, and
abilities.

Will you let them?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

P.S. Be the gift you want to get.

Why You Might Be Struggling

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

It just beats up so many people.

Badly.

“Mike, what are you talking about?”

Follow me here amigo, this is important.

For 7 years, I ran around in circles. Circles.

I was going nowhere. Real fast.

Eventually, I got my head out of the sand and started
figuring things out, though this is important.

I see too many people, thousands of people, struggling
unnecessarily.

And for many, it’s NOT their fault.

Let me explain.

What worked for many in school, college, and as an employee
DOESN’T work as an entrepreneur.

People are struggling and one of the BIGGEST reasons is
they’re getting beat up by ‘this’.

What is ‘this’?

Here’s the answer:

PERFECTION

Yes.

Making PERFECTION your goal is the quickest way to fail as an
entrepreneur.

The quickest.

Here’s what happens.

We build a mindset over the years.

Our teachers say, be perfect in school and on your tests.

Our boss says, be perfect at your job or I’ll fire you.

Then people bring this ‘perfection mindset’ to their business
and they STAND STILL.

They wait to act until everything is perfect.

Perfect. Perfect. Perfect.

What a bunch of NONSENSE. This mindset doesn’t work in the
real entrepreneurial world.

This is NO SUCH THING as perfect.

Get going.

Here’s what I did.

When I was struggling years ago, I made a change.

Follow me here.

In school, they tell you to shoot for an ‘A’. (Grades in
school are A, B, C, and D)

In business, you now know that doesn’t work.

What I did is when my ideas got to a ‘C’ level I took ACTION.

Action.

I entered the marketplace.

I got feedback. I saw what worked and what didn’t. I then
improved.

You can’t grow by doing nothing.

When your ideas, prospecting scripts, books, etc…are at a
‘C’ level, TAKE ACTION.

You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it
going.

Aiming for perfection before you begin will destroy you.

Get going amigo.

You can do it.

The world needs your gifts. Badly.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

P.S. You don’t have to get it right, you just have to get it
going.

Your Potential Is Being Hijacked

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Mediocrity.

Frustration.

Negativity.

For too many people their potential is being HIJACKED.

Hijacked.

“Mike, please explain.”

Look at your window.

How many people are spending their day doing what they enjoy?

How many people are experiencing personal and life
fulfillment?

Too many people have let their self image become beat up.

They see themselves as losers instead of winners and
champions in life.

The question is, “Why?”

Here’s one answer.

Your past is VAST.

Many people haven’t got the approval, recognition, and
support they needed.

They’ve grown up in negative environments.

They haven’t had healthy models of work, relationships, and
happiness.

If we don’t work HARD on ourselves, we bring to our adult
life a ton of garbage from our past.

It’s a cycle. That’s why poor communities always stay poor
and the opposite for the rich.

If you didn’t have MODELS of success in all areas of your
life, seek to find them in coaches, mentors, and books.

Don’t pass on junk to your kids because then their kids will
get it as well.

Our potential is hijacked when we forget we were born for
success, winning, self expression, and service.

Our potential is hijacked when we doubt ourselves, when we
think we’re only worth a few dollars, or when our self
respect is low.

Our potential is hijacked when we REPLAY the negative habits
on our environment, past and present.

You have to TAKE A STAND. (read this again)

Our potential is hijacked when our inner dialogue beats
ourselves up all day.

You have to TAKE A STAND.

YOU are smart, powerful, enthusiastic, and successful.

You have talents NO ONE else has. Share them.

You have insights NO ONE else has. Profit from them.

You have a WINNER that lives within. Express it.

Have the courage to see patterns in your life that are self
sabotaging and start turning it around.

Your past is vast. You’d be surprised how much you bring of
it to the present moment.

Be your own cheerleader. Yes, tell yourself, “You can do it!”
because you can.

Don’t let your potential be hijacked any longer. Start
serving others. Take the focus off yourself and onto others.

I believe in you. I respect you.

You have what it takes to succeed in a BIG, BIG way.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael
