You. You . You.

I respect you and appreciate you on this Friday.

"Thanks Mike, why though?"

If you're asking that question, I'll give you an answer.

Do you realize how few people in the world are actively looking to improve themselves like you are?

Think about that.

They're millions of people in the world that have accepted MEDIOCRITY.

They've got complacent about their station in life and have no made a commitment to raise their standard of living.

You're reading this right now. That says the world about the real vision you have for your life.

Let me say this.

I know you're having challenges moving forward.

I know bad habits are kicking you in the rear.

I know that the habit of procrastination in torturing the advance you truly want.

I get it. I've been there.

I'm writing this at 8:42am ESTon this Friday and my goal here is to get you to finish your week strong.

What bothers me greatly is that to many people's lives are devoid of progress and momentum.

That's not good.

Let's get you to end your week with a VICTORY. A small victory.

Are you in?

Great. Answer this question.

What is one thing I've put off this week that if I accomplished it in the next 24 hours would make me feel great and put me on the path towards progress?

It could be getting 10% more organized.

Making that prospecting call you've been putting off.

Writing a new article for your website.

Getting yourself on the treadmill for 15 minutes.

Remember, consistent baby steps lead to giant results.<<

I'm such a fan, a believer in baby steps because I've seen the results in my own life and what it's does to my own self confidence.

I believe in you. I believe there's so much more you have to offer.

Finish your week in motion.

Your Coach,

Mike Litman

P.S. Remember, you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going.

Amigo, I really appreciate your time here today. Thanks for being you.

Let's get going.

Read the title again of this message.

"I believe in struggle."

I have to admit this.

Although I didn't 'realize' it for years, I believed in 'struggle' for years.

Years.

I would have some success, though always find some way to screw it up, to halt my progress.

I would go forward, then back 4 steps, forward a few and keep repeating the cycle.

It's like I HAD TO make things more difficult for myself then they needed to be, you ever do that?

What I didn't get back then is that I bought into a real bad, real bad, real bad BELIEF.

That belief is called STRUGGLE.

It's when we think everything needs to be difficult and a struggle to achieve.

It's a belief passed onto us from our environment. It could be the home, schools, culture, jobs we've had, and our environment.

It's a belief I see so often in the 'employee mind'.

Check this out.

One of the reasons the 'rich get richer and the poor get poorer' is that the poor have bought the belief called struggle.

Struggle is all about negativity.

Struggle develops from a self image that doesn't believe one's even worthy to succeed.

Let me say that again.

Struggle develops from a self image that doesn't believe one's even worthy to succeed.

When's the last time you checked in on your self image?

Do you realize there's some ridiculously stupid belief you bought into 25 years or more that's holding you
back today from your best self? Yes, I believe this is true.

"Mike, what's the opposite of struggle?"

Answer: Effort.

Daily effort without all the negative mindset and emotions that struggle brings.

So much of this comes down to our thinking.

I had to realize over the years that my thinking was off base, not helpful to my goals, and filled with errors.

Errors.

Ask yourself this today:

What is one negative recurring thought I've had for the last 10 years that is still holding me back today?

Bring in to your awareness, then let it go.

We don't realize so many of the chains that are holding us. After years, decades, they become invisible to the eye.

Today we have a decision, a choice.

We can stay with struggle or move closer to actions that bring us greater fulfillment, greater calm, and better results.

Which will you do?

Your Coach,

Mike Litman

Move closer in a bit.

Just a little.

Perfect. Good.

8 years ago I thought I was ready for the 'big time'. Put me on Oprah,
put me in magazines, "I'm great.", I'm ready."

What a joke I was looking back.

If I would have got those opportunities I'd bet dollars to your donuts
I would have been mediocre at best. At best.

"Mike, why you saying this about yourself?"

I'm just being honest and one other thing.

You see, so many people are looking to jump 'levels'.

They chase the 'greener grass' over and over again. Always looking for a better opportunity, never
realizing THEY'RE the problem. (not the opportunity)

That was me.

My words said one thing. My actions, my beliefs, my habits said something else.

Yes and they also talked much louder.

What I didn't fully get 8 years ago, I get today.

Read this 2x's (or more) please.

***Every level of income demands a different you.

You can't build a $100,000 a year income inside a $20,000 a year mind.

You can't build a powerful mind inside a house filled with weak habits.

You can't build a organized life inside a chaotic and scattered mind.

You just can't.

We must grow into each level and pay the price.

Yes, we pay the price into our next level.

Our goal is to go from awkward to natural as fast as we can.

Though, unfortunately I speak to so many people today who just won't pay the price. They won't.

They give lip service to it, though their actions are invisible.

Sure, they take action for a few days. They get all excited and then things slow down and stop.

They quit. Then they 'rinse and repeat' the cycle.

No good.

Read this again.

***Every level of income demands a different you.

Ask yourself this question today:

Who do I need to BE to double my income and double my happiness?

What is 1 habit I need to erase and 1 new habit I need to replace it with?

You and I have a decision to make,

We can delude ourselves or we decide to be our best self every deal.

It's just a decision. It's just a habit.

Remember, you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going.

Your Coach,

Mike Litman
