You've to the winning lottery ticket... Don't be scared

Get Free Lottery Tickets!

I met a Handyman the other day… it was a Sunday afternoon at the beach, and we were getting into our cars… well he was getting into his handyman truck.  I was talking to him about what brought him to Florida and how I am starting this company (Best Property Holdings llc.) where we buy low income housing, renovate, and rent… So we were talking.  Eventually he came around that he said he was going to need a lottery ticket to retire… He’s a guy in his fifties and he is running out of time and ‘health’ to live a comfortable retirement.

What would you do?  Can you say “Joe, let me tell ya.  You just told me What your doing isn’t enough.  You know the facts, your running out of time to make money.  Did you know that every challenge ever faced, has had a hero overcome it?  Do you realize that your situation isn’t really uncommon?  And because its so common, there are so many solutions its flabbergasting.

You’ve been a handyman for 10-20 years.  Lets capitalize on your success.  You already have a relationship with a number of people you’ve done business with…  Ask them how their doing. If you can still use them a referral for your work, ask for more business. And then tell them your story, about this new business you’re starting par-time and how instead of wondering when I’m going to get this winning lottery ticket to retire, I’m trying to create my own luck…

Wrapping it up…

They say that Opportunity is the best charity.  If that is true, then this other quote is debunked, “how can you help the poor by being one of them?”  Ah, maybe you are rich with opportunity.  Remember that law about Abundance, whatever you think about grows?  So if you develop a habit of looking for, and following up after, Opportunity… then you’ll become abundant with opportunity.  You cannot give away what you don’t have.  But you don’t have to buy opportunity.  You don’t have to borrow opportunity.  You don’t have to Ask, or be GIVEN opportunity.  You can Create Opportunity yourself!  That is the winning lottery ticket. 

People are in the market for healthy products that help them live longer.

It’s a growing industry.

Sometime we just need a little help, seeing the opportunity.

Can you spare some Opportunity?

Spare some Mandura?

The Trick

Abundance

“The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams.” 

(quote from the movie Waking Life.)

Whatever you focus on Grows.

Contemplate new business ideas, you get more business ideas.

Contemplate on why something won’t work… you get more excuses, reasons, and expectations for failure.

Do you focus on your lack of skills and confidence?

Or

Do you focus on different ways to produce results?

Are your thoughts positive yielding hope and optimism?

Or

Are your thoughts negative creating doubt and fear?

Abundance is just as natural as gravity.

Gravity is always working

Abundance is always working.

The question is how are you going to get it to work for you?

You can use your mind to create:

an Abundance of Possibility

Or

an Abundance of Doubt.

There are Consequences!

When you use your mind to create an Abundance of Possibility, it leads to experimentation, creation, and self-determination.

When you use your mind to create an Abundance of doubt, it leads to inaction, fear, and helplessness.

How to change.

Remember your resolution.

Become resolute.

The only thoughts that matter, concern commitment.

What ONE thing do you want to be different?

Remember what you told yourself.

That feeling is the root of your success.

That feeling keeps you focused on what you want…

And that creates an abundance of possibility, optimism and hope.

What are you hungry for?

The Twist.

This Law of Abundance doesn’t just apply the ideas about money $$$.

It applies to becoming a happy healthy compassionate soul.

Wayne Dyer wrote that beautiful thoughts create a beautiful soul.

Think about it. ;-)

The Power of Teams

Here is today’s thought experiment to illustrate not just the power of team work, BUT THE NECCESITY OF TEAM WORK.

Suppose you found yourself starting a new bottled water company where all the profits would go to environmental non-profits promoting clean water?

I think I’d start by recruiting a team of three people, an accountant, a marketing guy, and an engineer. 

I don’t know how the Three guys at Keeper Springs did it, but they have donated $500,000 of profit…

http://www.keepersprings.com/

Now suppose you were assigned to start a new business where your job description is the same as a corporate middle manager?

An independent, disciplined, motivated, business oriented, educated individual with great communication skills whose responsibility is to recruit, train, and track progress.

Are you qualified to run this business? 

Of course you are, create your team to overcome your weaknesses and develop your skills.  People pay big dollars going college to develop their skills.

Now suppose you know that you are uncertain of your job security, you aren’t making enough money, and your not saving enough for your future goals.

What do you do?

Work harder at your job? Or Begin building a new life by creating a business that generates passive income.  Create a team that can productively recruit, train, and track progress.

In the previous posting about the power of Ideas, the reward for the task by oneself was about $20,000 per month…

If you joined up with two other people to build a business

the reward would be,

$6,666 per month.

Or about

$80,000 per year.

Believe it or not but:

The Power of Ideas

The Idea of Leverage

Leverage

The most famous quote about leverage is

Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.

Archimedes (287-212 B.C.)

Can one person move 15,620 bottles of healthy tasty goodness?

I can’t.

However can 3,905 teams manage to move 15,620 bottles of healthy tasty goodness?

Now that’s more likely…

Easier Said than done, right?

Instead trying to use all your energy to lift the burden, use your time to attract the necessary help of others. Using our time to enlist other people’s efforts is how we create leverage in business.

Lets talk about the Next Idea before we continue:

The Law of Averages.

A pattern emerges.

In baseball, the batter that has a batting average of .300 is out 7 out of 10 times… and he is paid $4,000,000.  

Think about that.  Whatever you do on a consistence basis, a pattern emerges, and you can calculate the average.

The same thing shows up Sales. No matter how hard you try, not everyone will buy… However, if you see enough people, a pattern emerges. 1 out of 10… I’ll take that. 2 out of 10… even better. 3 out of 10? Wait that’s six people.

Expect failure and move on. If you strike out, Big deal that’s baseball… and there’s no crying in baseball.

A Team Effort.

The task is simple.

Recruit five people.

Support those five people in their efforts to recruit five people

Track each associate’s progress.

Ask for help.

Have everybody with that goal in mind. And the lever you make will move

15,620 bottles of healthy tasty goodness. 

By the Way,

The reward for completing this challenge is almost

$20,000… a month.

That’s something I’ll take a swing at.

The only thing I’m confused about is, if I’m an entrepreneur starting my business Par-Time, or a corporate middle manager. 

Is it hard? You bet.

Is it worth it?

Infinite persistence, produces immediate results.

The New American Dream???

Business Ownership.

WHY is business ownership the New American Dream?

Just compare the three different ways people earn money.

1.  An employee simply makes money, but eventually we get too old to work.  And with the money we do earn, most people simply struggle to save what they should. 

2.  An investor makes money with money, but unfortunately we run out of money to make money in retirement.  The cost for 2-5 years of Long Term Care (LTC) is about… ‘a lot.’

3.  A business… However, A business uses other people’s efforts to make money… Here we neither can be too old to earn money, nor can we run out of money to live.  Perhaps diversifying into starting your own business is the last chance for a decent retirement.

I’m going to change the subject away from this negativity;  OH, I’m not saving enough... retirement is so expensive, Long-Term Care???  I’m going to die Broke. 

What do you WANT?  Because you can have it!  Do you know why greed is good?  ‘Greed’ cures laziness.   As Zig Ziglar is famous for saying, “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” 

Now do you want some abundance?

Working a simple low-cost mlm is one of the best options people can turn to today. You don't have quit you day-job or spend your life savings to start.

   1.  Find a quality product (something people ‘already’ budget for).

2.  Find the right price (low startup, minimal monthly commitments).

3.  Find an easy system you can work hard at (like referring and marketing this blog on facebook).   

The right opportunity for me is Mandura.

And my blog is a part of my system that empowers people and improve peoples lives.

I trust Mandura as a company.  I enjoy their product.  And I think it's a great opportunity to try. 

“Edison Believed that success was merely a process of elimination, of repeated failures, of continuing to experiment until the correct method was found.” Brian Tracy pg 137, 100 absolute unbreakable laws of business success.

Awesome Awareness and YOU

Being Awesome isn’t about being better than everyone else.  It is about having the courage to do something different than normal because you’ve come to realize that you must do something different to begin achieving your goals more efficiently.  What are your goals?  To be the best person you can be, realizing a little bit more of your potential each day. 

What would the world be like if we all had that courage,     if we were all Awesome?

My Brother in law recently told my 10 year-old niece, ‘If you do this, this, and this; You can pretty much have whatever you want.’

So I am going to share with you the three things you can to do to so YOU CAN pretty much whatever you want… This is How I am going to get what I want.  The Three things I am doing with Mandura: 

1.    Take Action:  Decide to have fun doing something that improves your life and the lives of others.  You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

2.    Be Bold:  Believe you can achieve your goal.  You have to believe there are five other people that are willing to commit to improving their lives and the lives of others.  Advertise and network this blog on facebook.

3.    Persist:  People don’t fail, they quit.  With half the cost of one college course financed over a two year period, with my dedication, why not give it a try?

If you’re not willing to do that, maybe you’re not ready for the change in your life.

"Give your Dream a round of Applause!"

Dare To Dream

Dare to Dream and The Saturday Morning Motivation is a group dedicated to encouraging its participants to share their dreams with others. This support group will help us develop the plans and the habits necessary to create the lives we wish to live. There are some 18,250 days in fifty years... I think this means we can accomplish anything we truly commit to, whether it be health, wealth, or happiness. Our motto, "Excellence is easy, when it's a way of life."

Even if you are an “unhealthy forty” think you can’t turn things around in twenty years?  So that makes you sixty with thirty more years to go… living to age 90 isn’t so uncommon anymore.  So once you are a healthy sixty, what are you going to do the next thirty years? 

What if you are impoverished college graduate laden with debt and without a real career?  Well…  there are multitudes of people who have started out with less than where you are now, and have far exceeded whatever your definition of success might be.  The beautiful thing about living in the world today, and especially in America, is the American Dream… The American Dream is upward mobility.  Nothing is for certain.  The poor can make it rich.  The rich, well the rich can make it poor.  Upward mobility means that our current circumstances are not an indication of where we can go. 

What if you are simply unhappy?  As Donald trump once said, “If you stop looking in the mirror, most of your depression would be cured.”  I say if we find ourselves lonely and depressed, we are just complaining about ‘shit’ we don’t have.  Brian Tracy credits Peter Drucker as saying about life;  Most of our misunderstandings in business and finance could be eliminated if we just replace the word “success” with the word “contribution.”
