Whew! (I'm sweating)
It's 6:52AM and I just got back from a 30 minute run in one
of the most incredible beach towns in America. (Montauk, Long Island).
I'm about to drink down a delicious meal replacement/protein
shake and get my day shakin' and bakin'.
You see, I'm here in Montauk with my family and some of my millionaire mastermind
partners (more on this in an upcoming email).
Hold on.
Move your chair in a bit. A little more.
Let's make today amazing, are you in or really in?
Good.
Onward.
If you read my message yesterday to you, you know I lost 21 pounds in 78 days and my
aim is 10 more.
"Mike, tell me 2 things you've learned in this process so far?"
Will do amigo.
1) The Magic of Thinking Small - I've been teaching this concept for a decade, though
on the 'business' side. The principle works the same in getting into better shape, making
money or any goal you have.
You see I got fed up.
I was trying to lose 15 pounds for 2 years and I got nowhere. Nowhere.
Then about 81 days ago I said to myself.
"I have no idea how to lose 15 pounds, let me work on losing 1 pound."
Then 1 pound went to 2 to 3…..to 15+.
It's great to have a vision for your life, though I believe the fastest way
to get you where you want is tiny, small goals.
Think smaller. Experience victories. Feel better about yourself.
Get momentum. Whether it's in your business or your level of fitness.
Question, if you where going to experience ONE 'tiny' victory in the next 24 hours, what 2 actions would you take today?
2) Power - We are so much more powerful than we give ourselves credit for, do
you know that?
I do.
I've been overweight 22 out of the last 23 years. I worked out with a trainer
the past 2 years, though my results were horrible because I didn't make
a commitment.
When we make a commitment, even a small one, our internal power starts to build.
We start to be able to achieve goals we never thought possible.
It's almost like we say to ourselves "Who is this person".
You. You. You. You are more powerful then -you- know.
Read this passage from a book written 97 years ago. (less then 900
people in the world even know this book exists today)
‘Always will I strive to be greater than I am. I must SURPASS MYSELF. In each successive act, test, encounter, thought. I will be GREATER than in the one previous. I am what I am now, but in an hour I must be MORE than I am now. In everything must I exert more power to surpass myself.’
Here’s another one.
‘From now on I vow I will try to act the part of a person TEN TIMES bigger than I am now, for by so doing, I construct greater powers in my own brain which will actually build me into such a leader. I refuse to longer be confined by the shadowy walls which heretofore have cramped me into a narrow sphere. From this day forth the word ‘limit’ is banished from my mind.
Listen. Everyone at some level is afraid of their own power. That's ok.
Today, for you, let's push yourself 1%, you in?
Your Coach,
