Your Most Important Vote

Monday, June 30th, 2008

Sitting on the sidelines.

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.

Millions of people are doing this today. Millions.

I used to do this as well. For 7 years.

Let me share with you an idea today that if you CAPTURE can
radically, radically change your life. And fast. Very.

Back in 1998, I was 24 years old and I hosted a success radio
show. My radio show has 3 listeners, 2 of them were my
parents.

If you saw my website back then, here was the headline,
‘World’s
#1 Personal Development Radio Show’.

I didn’t say I had the most listeners, though I believed I
had the most valuable, life changing radio show on the air
today.

“Mike, interesting, why are you telling me this story today?”

Good question amigo.

I’m telling you this because this is one of many examples I
can give to you that is revealing a powerful success
principle.

One more for today.

Was famous boxer Mohammed Ali telling everyone he was the
‘Greatest’ before he became the best in the world?

Yes, he was.

Too many people today are waiting for someone to tap them on
the shoulder and say, “You’re ready to leave the sidelines
and enter the game. Your time is now.”

In my experience, the game of success doesn’t work that way.

Here’s how it works.

***You have to VOTE YOURSELF IN.

Yes, YOU have to vote yourself in.

You have to stand up, leave the sidelines and enter the
playing field.

Start branding yourself.

Start writing your own newsletter.

Do a talk at your local library.

Start a website.

Whatever the next step is for you, here’s what’s important.

DECIDE to vote yourself in.

From politicians, to entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, and
all the names you know all voted themselves in.

Are you ready to do the same?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

P.S. One of my early mentors said this, “Nothing great has
ever been achieved without stretching yourself.”

Say Goodbye To Mediocrity

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

“You weren’t born to be in this room tonight.”

I said this to the audience of 200 people at a talk I did 2
weeks ago.

There was a few seconds of silence.

Many people starting shaking their heads up and down,
signaling “You’re right.”

“Mike, why did you say this to the audience?”

Good question amigo.

Throughout the night, many individuals were sharing their
stories of financial struggle, being at jobs they couldn’t
stand, and having too many negative people around them.

You, I, WE…we weren’t born to be average.

We weren’t born to strive for mediocrity in life.

We weren’t born to spend our lives at jobs we can’t stand.

When I said to the audience, “You weren’t born to be in this
room tonight”, here’s what I was really saying.

You were born for GREATNESS.

You were born to accomplish.

You were born to have fun, be happy, serve others, and be
fulfilled.

You weren’t born to struggle unnecessarily.

Yes, I’m all for improving yourself and going to seminars.
I’ve been working on myself for years.

What I was getting across to them and now to you is this.

Make your move. Now.

Start letting go of the pains from your past that still hurt
you.

Start becoming your own cheerleader.

Start a part time business. Stay focused on it.

Start becoming more valuable to others. This precedes massive
success.

Start becoming an example to your kids of what’s possible in
life.

Start moving outside of your ‘comfortable’ circle of
influence and stretch yourself.

Start reducing the time you spend with negative people.

Start making other people feel more important and
appreciated.

Amigo, you and I both know this.

YOU have so much more you can offer, share, and accomplish.

Am I right, yes or yes?

Good. Get going.

Wave goodbye to the days of aiming for perfection.

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

Get going.

The world desperately needs you. It does.

The fastest way to change your own life is to help someone
else change theirs. First.

My friend, YOUR best days are ahead of you and they’re
excited to see you too.

Separate yourself from 97% of the world. “Mike, how?”

Simple.

Start. Get going. Stay focused.

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

P.S. Stop scattering yourself. Stop trying to build 3
businesses at a time before you ever made one successful.

Focus is the key. Ask that guy called ‘Tiger’ if that’s
right.
