At the start of the year you may have noticed that you got any amount of unsolicited emails from people who are just starting out trying some new money making scheme. Let me distinguish, on the net you will find business opportunities and you'll find money making schemes. I was getting emails for replica watches day in, day out. I admired their persistence and thought 'good for you, your taking control of your life and finances and you're actually doing something about it'. I didn't need their services becuase I have a real Rolex purchased through determination and goal setting on my part.
So, as an experiment, I watched to see how long they would solicit me along with their friends, the pharmacy people. You know the ones with the discount medication that you just may be too embarrassed to ask your own pharmacy for?
Well, the mails started to trickle out by the end of February and were completely gone by mid-April. All these enthusiastic people who had started out with such good intentions for themselves only gave themselves three and a half months at most. Imagine if Ray Kroc or Col. Saunders gave up after three and a half months? If George Lucas or Bill Gates gave up?
In these times, it seems we hear people getting money for nothing, lottery wins or out-of-court settlements. Or maybe you heard how YouTube was purchased for a gazillion dollars? Here's the thing, lottery winners are consistent in their action to purchase tickets and if you know anything about programming, YouTube was not a cake walk to set up. Even people who look for settlements as a profession are usually versed in law to see what it takes.
You see, I work with Polaris Global. I'm a proud distributor for their products and, in order for me to know what I'm talking about, I'm a product of the Beyond Freedom Evolution course and one of the great tools that is taught in that curriculum is the ability to persistent and consistent. Consistent action is key to longevity on any business. And it is a business. I treat it as such and am registered here in Ireland. I've been with them since October 2007 where I was a student of the first Beyond Freedom program which had be co-written by the great Bob Proctor and which gave me so much. As an aside, the current course has so much more in Departure, the first of the modules, that it's taken me the whole four months prescribed for it.
The difference between a 'Yes' and a 'No' is how many times you ask. Do you believe in yourself enough to follow your dream and do whatever it takes to make it come true? Do you have what it takes to create that mindset for yourself? Well one thing I know for certain is that this kind of integrity to your dream can be taught and applied, not just to business, but to any aspect of life. Whether it's relationships, in business or personal life, financial decisions or assessing an opportunity and trusting your gut. To quote Warren Buffet "The most important investment you can make is in yourself".
