Rachel Ray, Leo, And You - Read Today

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

It’s Thursday AM, 8:45 EST, and I’ve spent the last 30 minutes channel surfing before I head to the beach (Eastern Long Island).

Let me share with you a few things you can USE to start shakin’ and bakin’ at a whole new level.

Are you ready or really ready?

First off, flipping through the TV I came across Rachel Ray’s 30 Minute Meals. Put what she was cooking aside for a second (it looked great).

Here’s what I saw.

PASSION. It just flies through the TV.

Rachel Ray LOVES what she does.

Do you know Rachel Ray had a public access cooking show for
3 years or so and made pennies if anything?

Talk about not getting it right and just getting it going.

LOVE. (remember this for a second).

Rachel’s show was done. I surfed around and saw an interview with actor Leonardo DeCaprio.

Many observers consider Leo to be one of the greatest actors of his generation.

Follow me here.

So Leo is being interviewed. The interviewer says you have many influential friends, ever thought about running for political office.

He stops for a second.

Thinks and says.

“No, couldn’t. I LOVE what I do too much.”

Love. (keep this in your mind)

Let me challenge you for a second.

Next time you put on the TV, pay attention to who you like and who you’re watching.

Ask yourself:

Does this person LOVE what they’re doing? Are they playing to their strengths or weaknesses?

Here’s what’s funny.

You can do the SAME THING.

“Mike, well I don’t know what I enjoy doing.”

Ok, great.

How much time have you spent in introspection?

Really looking at your strengths, weaknesses, what you enjoy, where you’re most celebrated. Also, get a friend, someone you trust and talk with them about it.

Remember, go where you’re celebrated, not tolerated.

Take time to DECODE GREATNESS.

Watch Tiger, Oprah, Spielberg. Watch LOVE in action.

They’re no different than you know.

Come on’. Let’s make your next 7 days incredible.

Spend more time in the areas you LOVE, you enjoy.

Watch how good you feel. See your increased results.

Doing what you don’t like as a career isn’t fun at all.
Been there, done that. (ugh)

You know you were born for greatness.
Time to stretch yourself even more, you agree?

Love Ya! You’re The Best!

Your Coach,

Michael

This ‘Word’ Leads To Success

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I can’t prove this, but my educated guess is this is the most
popular word in the world.

“Interesting Mike, what is it?”

Before I share it with you, let me say this.

If I look to decode the successes I’ve had, I can trace them
all back to a powerful principle.

Simple, but powerful.

The easiest and I bet most popular word spoken in the world
is “No.”

This is the popular word of the 98%.

Back when I was struggling, I used this word too much.

Way too much. It was like my best friend.

But then something happened.

And everything changed.

From my book ‘Conversations with Millionaires’ becoming a
#1 best-seller to the success of my business it all traces
back to this principle.

Hold on, I’m not the only one who’s tapped into it.

Tiger Woods.

Roger Federer

Oprah.

Spielberg.

And many others have as well.

Here it is.

***Greatness Starts By Saying YES to An Opportunity.

Let me say it again.

***Greatness Starts By Saying YES to An Opportunity.

98% of the world is inclined to say “No.”

The 2% say “YES” more often.

Look around you right now.

There’s an opportunity for you to do something great.

There’s an opportunity to get around more action oriented
individuals.

There’s an opportunity to bring a great coach in your life.

How about you IMAGINE YOURSELF being great. Now.

Close your eyes and see yourself winning. Now.

It might be tough, but do it.

Unfold into your best self. Love yourself.

Be your best self.

Get off your rear and get into gear. Now.

I believe in you. Action, take it now.

Mike
