This hits close to home

So, you're ready?

Now after all these years of floundering, frustration and failure. NOW, today, you are ready? OK.

Recently, I've come across more misguided thought processes than ever.

Let me see if I can "nutshell" it...

I know I can do it if I apply myself, and NOW, I'm ready to apply myself.

I'm tempted to call it delusional.

Last year, as I mentioned, I reached out to people who were desperate and a year later, they still are.

Some were going to do postcards.
Some were going to write reports.
Some were going to blog.
Some were going to chattel.

Some were going to become copywriters.
Some were going to find products.

June of 2015 should be easy to remember. Do you remember what you were going to do?

But, most of you didn't. You didn't DO.

Or DO for a long enough period of time to make your new behavior a habit. And because you didn't stay with your new improved you, you lapsed into old habits.

Well, listen.

It doesn't really matter. You get to do what you want. There are more than enough coaches, strategies, techniques, methods out there to use when you really want to change your life's situation. And most of you don't want to do that.

Call it the comfort zone, the same old same old, rut of life treadmill...

but, only YOU can do anything about it. Only you. And most of you won't.

PS. I am tickled pink for a few of you who have achieved your June of 2016 goals, and have proven to yourself that small continuous steps up the pyramid have you arriving at the top of your breakthrough. CONGRATS. Now, set even higher goals.

Hi Gordon,

This can and does hit close to home!

Now... I've always seen myself as a "doer"... But sometimes...

Of course, sometimes health (i.e. the lack of it) gets in the way. But apart from that...

Sometimes life can get too comfortable!

One approach that works for me is a business joint venture with people I like spending time with. If you don't do your part, you feel guilty and it motivates you to get going!

However, sometimes people are "paralyzed" by being a bit too sensitive... What if the prospect doesn't like it? What if they reject it? What if they think lower of me for asking for their money?

Many people nowadays are not used to selling... But if you want to be in business, selling is a part of it. If nothing gets sold - it's not a business! It's a hobby!

To counter this (and I think Gordon alluded to this approach in a different post), I like to think "win/win"...

How do I win from this deal? How do they win?

If everyone wins... What's stopping you?!

Best wishes,

Dien
