Forwarded from my upline… This is Critical to your success.

“Anything worth having is worth fighting for!”

That quote has been said by many in one  form or the other, and I find it to be a good calling card for going after the things that you want in life.   Far too often, especially in the internet marketing industry, people lose sight of that quote, not  because the things that you really want aren’t worth fighting for… but because you aren’t actually focusing on what you really want.

Let me give you an example to show you  what I mean.   If I ask you the question…  “Why do you want to get involved in internet marketing, with my business, with my training, etc.?”   and you answer…   “To make more money” I know that you are already at a serious disadvantage and will probably never actually make a dime  I also know that you will probably quit working with me in 30 days or less.

I’ll explain why in a minute, but first, let’s explore a different answer (the successful person answer).

Again… if I ask you, “Why do you want to get involved in internet marketing, with my business, with my training, etc.?”   And your answer is more like this…

“I work 60 hours a week and I miss my family terribly.  I want to spend as much time with them as possible.”

or…   “I am afraid of working for 40 years only to end up like 98% of the population.. broke, and needing help to survive from family or the government.”

or…   “I don’t have freedom in my current situation, and I want to have more control over my life, how I spend it, and who I spend it with.”

If you answer more like the 3 scenarios above, you are in a much better place to not just make money, but to create wealth and FREEDOM in your life.

Here’s why…   Money is a terrible motivator.   Money is a terrible motivator because it can be made in a gazillion ways.   If you are motivated by money alone, or at least are only acknowledging that you want money and not acknowledging WHY…   You will quit and look for one of the other gazillion ways to make money whenever you are challenged.

But… when your reason for wanting the money…   Your WHY … is very personal to YOU and very strong…   …you will FIGHT tooth and nail to make it happen no matter what.

My why’s actually go many, many levels deep.

(Sidenote:  The deeper that your why is, or the more you ask yourself why do I want that, the stronger that your why will be.)

But, on one level, why I want to be as successful  as I can be with my internet marketing business is not having to miss ANY time with my Wife and  my Children.   This why was solidified for me when my Daughter was just a couple of months old.   My Wife had gone back to work, and I was still working at the time (hadn’t been let go yet).   Every morning, I had to drop my Daughter off at daycare.   I had to drop my sweet, beautiful, brand new treasure off, so that she could spend her entire day getting to know strangers that couldn’t possibly give her the love that she needed to be receiving every second of the day.   It pained me.   It made me want to cry every morning. Every second away from her was felt in my heart.   It really was unbearable.

So… when I got “let go” from my job, I did EVERYTHING that I could to NEVER be  in that situation again.   I knew that if I wanted to never miss a second of my Daughter’s life (and now my Son), I would have to create wealth in a way that gave me the freedom to do that.   In my eyes, internet marketing was the only thing that offered me the ability to create wealth AND the time that I wanted.

Was it easy at first?   NO   Did I want to quit?   1,000 times   But, did I…    Hell NO!   Why?   Because every time things were difficult, or a pain in the ass, or not going well, I looked into the eyes of my beautiful babies, and my amazing wife and I said to myself…   Spending my life as close to the people that I love most in this world is worth WHATEVER it takes.

My point it this…   If you don’t know WHY you want money or wealth, you will never have as much of it as you deserve or desire.   If you don’t know what your why is, do this for yourself right now.   Ask yourself WHY you are wanting more  money, wealth, time, etc.   When you have the first answer… ask yourself why again.   Do this 3 or 4 times and you will have the strongest why possible.

When you have the strongest why possible, you have the FUEL to do whatever you want in life.   Because when things are important enough to you, you will NEVER quit.   You will never say “I don’t know how to blog.”   You will learn how.   You will never say, “I don’t have time.”   You will find it.   You will never say, “I can’t afford that right now” when you really could if you wanted to make sacrifices.

Because what you want is worth ANY price to get.   You will never, ever quit because quitting doesn’t just mean “less money.”   Quitting means pain and anguish and missing out on something that makes your heart feel like bursting in your chest.   Am I being overly dramatic?   NO.   Your why has to be that important to be successful at any real level in life.   Your why has to be so strong that you  would quite literally do anything (legal, ethical, moral) to make it happen.   Even if it was hard.   Even if it was new.   Even if you think you can’t.

If your why is strong enough…   You CAN and WILL do anything you want. If you’re looking for the SECRET to success in anything in life, that’s it.   You’re amazing and deserve the best that life has to offer.

Procrastination is an expensive habit.  How can we stop procrastinating. Here are some ideas.

It is time for me to preach to myself again. I am sure you have seen or heard this quote  “The principles always work if you work the principles”.

Sounds so easy, doesn’t it? Come On! It’s so generic, how does this effects our marketing efforts for example?

First, what does it mean: IF YOU WORK…… Right! Action, compared to just thinking your way to the top, towards your goal.

Thinking is important, RIGHT thinking is VERY important. But…without action, there is not much happening.

The human brain knows no limits when it comes to thinking out ways and strategies in dealing with all kinds of problems, but if these strategies and plans are NOT acted upon, they really hold no meaning – they’re like empty blueprints camouflaged in sparkling rhetoric.  And rhetoric comes cheap these days.

You have to make up your mind to be ACTIVE, to take action, and to take action NOW. To help you, we have gathered 101 recommendations and suggestions, or TIPS if you like.  Tips on how NOT to procrastinate.

Procrastination pervades every aspect of our lives.  It is highly dangerous. Deceiving, let’s you feel right, for a while at least.  Then it becomes a habit.

Some of the tips we share here may be useful and some may be irrelevant.  Others will come in handy not necessarily today, but at a later stage of our lives.

Procrastination is an expensive habit.  We discovered that one of the ways that will not make us procrastinate is to figure out the dollar amount of something that was not done because of procrastination.  This can be a great eye opener.

It all points to the generally accepted idea that time is money. This alone can serve as a strong motivator not to procrastinate again.  Or at least to try not procrastinate!

Jack Canfield quoted Brian Tracy to drive home the message:  “Life is like a combination lock; your job is to find the right numbers, in the right order, so you can have anything you want”.

We’d be lying if we told you that if you followed our 101 tips on how not to procrastinate, you can have anything you want.  It doesn’t work that way.

These tips are ideas that have come from our heads and from other people’s heads.  And it is up to you to apply them in every segment of your daily routine.  Avoiding procrastination is more effective when we start with little steps.  It does not mean having to change our lives drastically.

But as one writer said, not procrastinating will make us appreciate the life we have now.  And as we build on the small steps, we’d be amazed at how much we can accomplish over the years.

In deciding not to procrastinate, you may want to accompany this determination with clear ideas and small steps. Make concrete goals. Let us eat this elephant, one bite at a time. Being overwhelmed stops you right in the process of overcoming your procrastinations.
