To Blog OR Not To Blog…Confessions of an Over-Thinker!!

February 26, 2014 by Simon Haggard

I was jumping out of my skin when it was announced on the first visionary call of the year that the Alchemy Program had been formed. I couldn’t wait to share with our business associates my excitement in an overview email, I registered immediately for The Alchemy Apprenticeship and could see myself clearly winning the blog writing competition and being flown over to Colorado to hang out with Shane & Rachel prior to the next event.

Yet…it’s been almost a month and I have not submitted a blog entry. There is not a day that goes by that I am not thinking about it and writing down topic ideas. Then I spend a moment beating myself up about it. So, what’s stopping me…?

Lack of Commitment…nahhhh!

Lack of Passion….NO!

Procrastination…warm

Fear…warmer

Failure…warmest

Comparing myself to others…HOT!!

The fear of failure by comparison paralyses me. I don’t believe I have ever said it like that before.

My fear of failure makes for a great quality as an event manager as I triple cross check everything and generally speaking nothing goes wrong as I account for every possible scenario, my goal is to always put on the best event anyone has experienced.  However, that said, in our business with PG and personal life – I am my own stopper.

How am I my own stopper? I am forever comparing myself to others – unfairly, I compare myself to the person at the gym who is the strongest and fastest, I compare myself to the leaders here at PG, wondering am I worthy to be a leader and stand among them. Simon was growing his business with PG when I met him and upon my decision to join him I find myself comparing my ability with his ability to talk with prospects on the phone and his boldness to step out on most calls and just rattle off something clever and inspiring – could I do this that well??…By my own comparison, I always come off second best by my own opinion, and so I remain as I am…believing I am not quite good enough.

What’s my game plan…? I will begin by owning it, owning my quality and turn it around to use it for the greater good. That’s tough, it’s tough because it’s how I reason with myself for not doing or not participating in something. By identifying with my fear of failure, I will be able to monitor my decision making process and call myself on it and now have you guys too call me on it. The beautiful element of this leadership community is having others hold you to a higher standard.

The funny thing is by succumbing to my fear of failure, I am choosing to not participate and thus I am not choosing in…and this results in failure ANYWAY!!! Lose/Lose.

The words I live by are ‘To Lead By Example’ and yet I can feel like a fraud at times.  So, I choose in. I choose to blog and will move to grow beyond my ‘fear of failure by comparison’. I am after all the supreme authority of my own life.

This morning’s call with Helen, Anna and Rachel inspired me, I can’t quite put my finger on it though there in lies just one reason to always (no matter what) PLUG IN to the training calls.

To be continued…

What Is It That People Look For? Think…..

March 28, 2011 by Simon Haggard

• WHY are people constantly looking for something better
• HOW MUCH of an income you would like to earn in the next 12 months
• WHAT that money is for and what your lifestyle would look like when you reach that goal

We’ve learned a few things over the years about wealth creation and one of them is this:
If you don’t know what the money’s for…you CAN’T GET THE MONEY!

People don’t really want the money. They want what the money will DO.
• It’s about not missing your children’s sporting events because you had to work late
• It’s about not seeing your spouse going to a job they hate every day
• It’s about getting out of that crowded apartment into a house Or out of that house and into a dream home!

What’s YOUR motivation?

Once we are clear on what you are looking to achieve, the rest is easy.

Three “Musts” for Every Entrepreneur

February 8, 2010 by Simon Haggard

Essential Qualities for the Self-Employed
If you have the desire, you can be an entrepreneur. But just having the desire won’t necessarily make you successful. There are three fundamental attributes you will need. Whether they come to you naturally, or you have to work on developing them, these three qualities are vital for building a successful foundation for self-employment.
1. Know Your Business

The first essential element for success as an entrepreneur is to know your business. Whatever it is–know it like the back of your hand. Whatever entrepreneurial endeavours you are involved in–be it real estate, network marketing, Internet commerce, you name it–you need to strive to have an exhaustive knowledge of it.

Most people think the way to get involved in self-employment is to go out and start or buy a business. The part they leave out is training for the business. There’s something to be said for just “taking the plunge,” but you should at least know how deep it is before you jump in.

Once you dive in, you must continue to educate yourself about your business. After all, continued education is what will drive your earnings through the roof. So whatever business you decide to pursue, commit to learning as much as you possibly can. Every single time you meet another professional, attend another seminar, or read another book in your field, you are building your own professional competency.
2. Focus

Most of today’s millionaires–and even billionaires–didn’t start off owning 10 or 20 different businesses. They started making money by focusing on one. You simply cannot make big money by putting energy into a dozen things at once.

Some entrepreneurs love to try and put ALL their ideas into motion at once. But that’s how you lose focus. And losing focus will kill your momentum in any entrepreneurial endeavour. Don’t be one of those people who gets sidetracked as soon as you start to get some traction in your life. If you want to build momentum–and keep the focus–quit driving in the city. Get on a highway, put your foot on the gas, and forget about the exit ramps.

Approach your business with a single-mindedness of purpose–and don’t let anything draw your focus away until you have made it successful. From there, you can continue to build that business, start a new one, or–as many entrepreneurs like to do–both!
3. Persistence

You knew this one was coming. Persistence. A necessary attribute for ANY entrepreneur. So many aspiring entrepreneurs would be much more successful if they only gave themselves a chance. But every time they are about to break free, they encounter some resistance and decide it’s too difficult. Don’t be one of those people.

Call it what you want–perseverance, relentlessness, determination, resolve–just make sure you practice it. When you hit a wall–as you most assuredly will–it’s okay to withdraw, regroup, and try another strategy. That’s not quitting. That’s smart business. Practice persistence in all your entrepreneurial endeavours–and stick with them.
“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing in the world is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.” –Calvin Coolidge Embracing Personal Responsibility
You Are the Cause of Everything that Happens
Today’s message is a tough one. It’s tough because it deals with a topic that is VERY difficult for some people to come to terms with.

But once they do, their lives are forever changed by it.

The culture in our nation today suggests to us that the things that happen in our lives are–in large part–out of our control. The pervasive underlying tone of society suggests that all the things we experience in our health, our relationships, and our business endeavours (good or bad) are somehow out of our hands. That’s not true.
You have to take 100 percent responsibility for your life if you want to thrive. If you’re used to playing the role of the victim, successful entrepreneurship (and life in general) will be extremely difficult for you. If you feel your life is the result of other people’s actions and decisions–and not your own choices–that means you have no control over your life. It means others are controlling it for you.

It’s only when you take complete personal responsibility that you can truly learn and have power over every situation. It’s easier to play the victim card, but if you do that, you won’t progress in life.
Now keep in mind, we’re not suggesting you take blame for things other people do or beat yourself up for mistakes. We’re all human, after all. And humans make mistakes. We’re talking about the attitude that you’re the cause of everything that happens–and has happened–in your life. Who do you think is creating the outcomes in your life? You are!

You’re the ONLY one that can produce a result in your life. If you don’t like the outcome, you must change the behaviour. Unsuccessful behaviour is trying to find the scapegoat in your life. Successful behaviour is understanding, real simply, that if it happened–you did it.

So look around you. Countless people in our country today like to play the blame game. And they are as miserable–and unsuccessful–as can be. Don’t fall into that mode of thinking. Start accepting personal responsibility immediately. You’ll be amazed at how you begin to have power over all situations. If you’ve been used to society’s way of thinking, it may be a hard pill to swallow at first. But soon you’ll start to see results in every facet of your life. You’ll start to experience more positive outcomes in your health, your relationships, and especially your business endeavours.

Remember: You are the cause of everything that happens in your life. Adopt this attitude and never look back. Once you have this power, the only person who can stop you is you!

Being Effective in Life!

November 18, 2009 by Simon Haggard

This begs the question we must ask ourselves often enough. Are we being effective in our life right now today?

Well as an Australian Entrepreneur we make choices in life to be at cause in our life and not at the effect of whats going on around us. We take bold actions and make decisions that based on facts are known to be true and move forward with absolute knowing and confidence in what we choose.

Often we must remain focused and look out to dodge others with hidden agendas of their own in order to be effective and create real success. This allows us to build confidence staying focused and providing business leadership to those that take part and participate in the opportunity of which we are involved.

So ask yourself…..
Is it Good for ME ?
Is it Good for MY Family ?
Is It Good for MY Community ?
Is It Good for My FUTURE ?

So create your own future and a home business opportunity, get clear on what it is you are wanting to achieve and also know the direction you need to take to take in order to get the result you are after. Create a Daily Method Of Operation (DMO) in order to assist you in your plan and focus in which to remain effective in your life.

Create success for you and your family by becoming an Australian Entrepreneur.
