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

by

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…

Entrepreneurs Make Bold Decisions In Life In Order To Create Success.

Make Bold decisions in life which allow you to move forward . Well how do you do this? Identify the decision for you and what is it you want, then gather the information so you can then start the move forward! Source : BFE

Decisions are important because they are what we use to direct our life and a tool to create everything we have and experience. Bring about self confidence and self esteem! Source: BFE

Lean from the experts!
Why continuous learning? Consider these facts…

1) The average person will increase their salary by only 2-3% annually.

2) Each year inflation increases by approximately 2-3% annually.

3)That means that, without lifelong learning, it’s virtually impossible for the average person to get ahead.
However…

1) Top Achievers, people who are continually learning and growing, DOUBLE their income every 3-5 years.

2) This is why the top 10-20% earns more than the bottom 80%! To separate yourself from the pack, you often need to know just one additional skill…and that will make all the difference in your pay scale.

How To Find A Home Based Business !

by

The search for a home business can be frustrating at times; as we all know, there are tons of home businesses out there. The question is which one is the right fit for you? And how do you find it? Well, I put together some simple steps for you to keep in mind while seeking your business opportunity. These are the same steps, the same principles we used when we were searching & researching a home business to assist in changing our lives. So here it is…

1- FEEL GOOD ABOUT THE BUSINESS: You should feel good about the company, product, and business. If you are simply chasing dollars, it will work against you. Love the business, love the product, be passionate about the difference and benefit you can bring to the table with your new business. Feel good about it!

2- DO PROPER DUE DILIGENCE: Now when I say “Due Diligence” I don’t mean go talk to people and get their opinions. That is not proper due diligence. Because, anytime you attempt to better yourself, or even think outside your box, you WILL have people knock down your idea. We’ll call them “Dream Stealers”. See, they would rather knock you down or hope you fail, so it justifies their lack of motivation, it justifies the fact that they have settled…The are other forms of opinions that will come across in a professional manner during your research. This is where you should be extremely careful! It will fool people quite a bit. There is one very simple way to identify it. We’ll call it “mud-slinging”… If someone is “Mud-Slinging”, ask the same question I asked…. Why? What is the motivation behind there comments? Always research the source… Usually it is because they have something else to sell you. Be very cautious around any product or business that promotes based on “mud-slinging”… If they have to tell you how bad everyone else is, they may not have to many good things to tell about themselves. Research and find information that does not have a reason to steer you in any way. Research your research.

Simply, find the business you like…Talk to other people in the business/company. Call the main office/corporate offices during business hours to confirm real people are in a real corporate office running a real business. Learn what is truly possible with that business. What kind of results are people having, and do you believe you can achieve YOUR goals in that particular business… This is how you determine if there is a fit. Trust your instincts, get fired up!

3- FIND YOUR MENTOR: Find someone that you can trust. A person who has created the very thing you are looking to create. This should be someone who is willing to listen to you and your goals and cares about your success. More importantly, you are willing to listen and learn from this person as well. Also very important, he/she must have a financial interest in your success.

4- MAKE SURE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WITHIN THE TEAM/ORGANIZATION WHO ARE HAVING SUCCESS WITH THE SAME BUSINESS MODEL: Ask to be introduced to some of the other people within the team or organization, in person or by telephone. This is where most will come up short, look for the trail of success!

5- MAKE SURE THE PRODUCTS BEING SOLD ARE LEGITIMATE STAND ALONE PRODUCTS: Make sure these products are something that would sell by itself, something that holds the value of the price tag. If not, you will have a hard time creating duplication in your business and will have a huge impact on you residual income. Besides, referring back to step one… You want to feel good and have confidence about what you are selling. There are a lot of legitimate businesses out there with legitimate products. Find the one that gets you fired up!

6- MAKE SURE THE TEAM/ORGANIZATION YOU ARE WORKING WITH HAS A TURNKEY MARKETING SYSTEM IN PLACE THAT ANYONE CAN DUPLICATE: A complete business, fool proof system that anyone can duplicate. If the company relies on recruiting family and friends, you might want to run! You should seek a reliable way to get quality prospects in front of what you are offering.

7- ACCEPT THE RESPONSIBILITY: The last, but most important step of all… One of the main reasons people fail in home business is this reason right here… Self-Responsibility. They do not accept the responsibility; they think the “System” will create the success by itself. This is not true. Consider the business you find as a vehicle, a vehicle that can take you any place you would like to go. However, you must get in and drive yourself! Understand that you are going into business for yourself. Your results are completely up to you. Yes, find the business that fits you, and plug into the business model/system, but the work is up to you. Any legitimate business out there WILL tell you it takes effort. If someone tells you can have it all for nothing, then RUN LIKE THE WIND! It is completely up to you… Success is a choice, your choice.

I’m sure these 7 steps will assist you in your search for your home business. I will pass on one more piece of advice from a very good friend and mentor; we can call it bonus step 8! And it applies no matter what you choose to do in your life…

Always…

Believe in yourself, Believe in what you do,

Live your life like a champion!

DO WHAT IFS HOLD YOU BACK ?

by

How many times in your life have you wanted to do something and you said “yes, but…what if?…..” It is so common for most people to live their life this way…..

This is just one of many phrases that have been drilled into our brains growing up….we have been “conditioned” to think this way, however, that does not mean it is the RIGHT way to think!

But, here is the exciting news….you don’t have to keep thinking that way! Living your life by the “what if’s” means you will not take chances, that you are fearful, that you miss out on incredible experiences, and opportunities in every area of life. Really, the “what if’s” are just fear based excuses.

Most of these “what if’s” NEVER come true…..but people waste so much time and energy playing their lives “safely” just in case, that life passes them by and they wonder what happened to all the possibilities….they wonder why they didn’t experience more, they wonder why their life wasn’t what they wanted it to be.

It is never too late….anyone can take a firm stand for what they want in their lives, and make a bold decision to move past the excuses, the “what if’s“, and start living the type of life they want and start experiencing all the things that are possible.

We are surrounded by abundance every single day….some people will choose to see it, embrace it and be a part of it….others will stand by frozen in their past conditioning and keep “waiting” for the perfect timing for something they want to be, do or have…these are the people that get to old age and wonder what happened?

It is all a choice….

The Story of the Cows & Rhinos

by

This is little story of the cows and rhinos. Of course I can’t take credit
for this it was developed by Scot Alexander, but here is my adapted version
of it.

There once was a herd of cows out in this cow pasture. And of course there
was grass and manure all over the place. But out in the middle of this herd
of cows was this rhino, and he was totally out of place. Six thousand pounds
of muscle; and thick armor of skin, with this big horn sticking out of his
head. And the rhino wanted to leave the cow pasture and go to the promise
land. And off into the distance you can see the promise land. But to get to
the promise land you must first go through the jungle. The jungle is filled
with thorns, quicksand and hunters; but the rhino has that 6 inch thick
skin.

Contrary to the better judgment of the cows, and some of these seem to be
very learned cows; the rhino leaves the cow pasture. And won’t you know it
there’s adversity, hunters shooting at him, quicksand etc. Eventually the
rhino meets up with some other rhinos and they say to him we’ll help you get
through the jungle. There will still be some adversity but we’ll show you
where the quicksand is and you don’t have to walk into the arrows, right?
It’ll still be a bit of a struggle but we’ll help you to make it a nicer
ride.

Eventually our rhino friend makes it through the jungle and to the promise
land. And there is your wonderful Starbucks establishment; just kidding.
What does our rhino do? Jumps back into the jungle. Why? To help the other
fledgling rhinos get through the jungle.

And then one day when as our rhino is relaxing, laying in his mud hole, he
notices other rhinos coming out of the jungle. One by one they’re coming out
of the jungle and he asks where are these rhinos coming from? And in a
moment of clarity he realizes it must be the cow pasture. These rhinos were
actually cows it’s just that they had been conned into believing they were
cows. So convincingly that they even looked like cows, and even smelled like
cows.

We’re all rhinos. We were born risk takers; all this self imposed
limitations, is all just a story.

Quoting from John Lavenia’s book; Integrity is Everything “What stops people from getting started in any worthy endeavor? The simple answer is fear. Fear of failure, fear of making a mistake, fear of success (worthiness). But the biggest and most persistent enemy of productive action is fear of criticism! People don’t commit to taking action because they fear criticism. Criticism from their friends, family and neighbors. The driving force behind most people’s decision making is: wanting to look good, and avoiding looking bad. This is a very fear-based way to live. Seeking approval from ignorant well-meaning people has crippled more potential greatness than anything I’ve
witnessed……I heard a very learned man once say, “Don’t worry about what
your neighbors think, they probably don’t.””

Learn to just Love(n) (in) the MOMENT!

To Your Success,

HOW MANY WAYS ARE THERE TO MAKE MONEY !

by

How many ways do you think there are to make money? Hundreds, thousands? Actually there are only TWO ways….either YOU work for your money, or your money works for YOU!

Wealthy people believe that their money should work for them. It is so interesting to look into the way wealthy people think and the way that the masses think. Wealthy people realize that investing is the key to abundance. The masses believe that investing is the key to having just enough when they retire.

The masses also believe that if they could just make more money, then they could be wealthy and then they could put some aside into investments. But here is reality….people that have this type of thinking that acquire more money, often immediately look to where they can spend it….a nicer car (thinking they can now afford $250 extra car pmt per month) , a big screen TV (they finance over 5 years) , and they are immediately back in the same boat as they were before they acquired the new found funds.

Wealthy people immediately look to where they can invest the extra money. They keep the car and the same TV and look to where they can invest the extra $250 per month so they can turn it into millions…..then they buy those toys out of the abundance they created.

The masses buy out of lack, the wealthy buy out of their abundance. The masses see money as a way to buy “stuff”…the wealthy see money as a tool to create more money.

Here’s the thing….think about where you were financially 10 years ago. Now think about where your income is at today….you are probably making more money, however, what did you do with those raises? Bigger TV, a boat, a snowmobile, a car….maybe you don’t even know where it went! After paying all your bills, you are basically in the same financial position you were 10 years ago – struggling!

So, what is the solution? Unless you change the way you think and start THINKING like wealthy people, it doesn’t matter how much money you make, you will never become wealthy. You MUST learn to change the way you think!

WOMEN STILL EARN LESS THAN MEN !

by

I read an interesting article from Donald Trump’s site http://www.trumpuniversity.com/link.cfm?id=6752 about women’s earnings that is quite disturbing.

In this day and age, women in “traditional” businesses are still being paid less than men. My hat is off to Donald Trump with his statement “Talented people are talented people, no matter what. ” He strives to make sure that everything is an equal playing field at the Trump organisation. It appears that in the traditional work world, women are still not considered as equally competent to perform the same jobs as men.

Could this really boil down to the fact that women in their younger years will most likely be taking time off for maternity leaves? A sad but true fact I’m sure if you got to the real reason behind this.

Again, the beauty of being self employed! For women that take a stand for what they really want in their lives, family time, flexibility around their families needs, but still a flourishing, healthy career, self employment gives women the opportunity to create wealth and be paid what they are truly worth.

Network marketing is something that Donald Trump is also a big supporter of. When asked on a TV interview what he would do if he lost everything, he responded that he would find a good network marketing company. Network marketing is a way to work the hours you want, have flexibility around your family commitments, have more time off and create wealth. Many people are not aware of the financial possibilities, and this is definitely an area where many women are outdoing men in earnings.

I am so grateful, that network marketing has been my business. I have been home to spend time with my children, I have travelled around the world with my wife, we attend every school function with my kids, take school holidays off with them, and now that we have this TIME & FREEDOM we now spend every day together, and continue to travel and experience life as a Family. This is thanks to network marketing!

I am very proud to be a part of this industry and I am passionate about showing other people how to STOP being controlled by society, statistics, and the corporate world and to start living the type of life I have been able to create. There are no secrets to this type of life….it is simply making a choice that you don’t want to settle, and then taking action and following the advice of people that can help you get there.

Make It A Great Year,

Simon Haggard
