GET UP! (Look Up and then GET Up!)


In my last article we discussed the "simple" 4-Step Process for Success stating the need to "LOOK UP! GET UP! GET GOING! KEEP GOING!"

We focused on the first part, which was, "LOOK UP!"  and how important it is for each of us, no matter how difficult things may seem - to keep our heads UP and our eyes UP so that we can see what is taking place around us and the possible OPPORTUNITIES that may be around us even when we don't feel that such a thing even exists. 

 Ephesians 6:13... "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, TO STAND."

 So, in that particular situation discussed in Ephesians, the same is true in this whole discussion! It's GREAT that - in the Scripture example - someone would do all that they could to prepare for battle by putting on the necessary armor, BUT...all of that does NO good at all if you don't ever actually STAND UP and go out TO the battle!

So, it's GREAT that you now have begun to LOOK UP and notice what's going on around you and, maybe even notice OPPORTUNITY that is all around you but...

 If you never actually GET UP so that you can ENGAGE with and TAKE ADVANTAGE of any and all opportunity that may present itself, what good does it do? Short answer - NONE!

You're read me writing this before and, if you've watched my videos and/or listened to my podcasts, you've also heard me say this many times in the past: TALK IS CHEAP!

 I get it! I've "been there, done that" and have sat and sat and sat and sat, all the while SAYING I wanted to take action but, for whatever reason (excuses), I simply stayed where I was. I KNEW I WAS BETTER THAN THAT and, likely, YOU feel the same way and KNOW, deep down inside, that the same is true about YOU, friend!

So, don't just LOOK UP but, friend, you know it's time and you know it's PAST time to actually GET UP and start taking action. How? You GET GOING and you KEEP going - which we'll be talking about in the next couple of articles. 

SPECIFIC STEPS TO TAKE RIGHT NOW:                                                                                          

1. Be sure to listen to the PODCAST and/or watch the VIDEO on this topic - you'll HEAR and SEE my excitement and enthusiasm about this topic!                                                                                                 

 2. LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, FOLLOW and SHARE on EVERY source you see listed below.                     

3. JOIN my new community on Skool, create a post to introduce yourself and GET CONNECTED!   (it's free and I'll connect with you personally.                 

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Easy to Do - Easy NOT to Do!



 True, I will say that this is an "easy" 4 Step Process on how to make positive PROGRESS toward a better and brighter future in and for your life. But, as it says in the graphic above, it's EASY TO DO and it's also EASY NOT TO DO!
 
That doesn't change the TRUTH of what is being presented in this article (also my podcasts and videos...see links below) but it does acknowledge that, perhaps, it may be even easier for most NOT to do and implement in and for their lives and their future. 
 
You know "the drill", right? We get discouraged, frustrated and distracted and we tend to walk around with our heads down - figuratively AND literally at times. Have you ever wondered what all you have MISSED by doing so?
 
This actually ties in very closely to the series that I just completed talking about "See It - Want It - Get It!". If and when we walk around with our heads hanging down we simply MISS OUT on so many GOOD THINGS and maybe even many OPPORTUNITIES! 
 
If you've followed me for very long at all you've likely heard me say something along the lines of, "Opportunity Doesn't Always Knock! Sometimes You Have to Go Out There and Tackle That Sucker Out on The Sidewalk!"
 
But you won't ever see it (DON'T SEE IT!) with your head down. 
 
Paul, in the 3rd chapter of the book of Philippians says that (and I'm paraphrasing... I shared this a few weeks ago and you can also look it up for yourself...it's around verse 13-15) he kept his eyes "on the prize" of the calling that God had for his life! He put EVERYTHING else behind him...he focused...kept his head up and his eyes open!
 
So, there's your assignment...step #1: LOOK UP! 
 
Try it out for yourself by putting it into practice TODAY...NOT tomorrow or next week. 
 
Oh, and another "assignment" is for you to sign up for free and join my community on Skool...check the link out below!
 

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Don't GET IT?!?


 In this last installment of this "SEE IT - WANT IT - GET IT" series, we will focus on the last part that you see emphasized in the above graphic: "DON'T GET IT?"

Now, right off the start that, if you haven't done so already, be sure to read all of the previous article in this series so that you can fully "connect" to this final installment. (You may also want to connect to the podcast and the YouTube videos - all links below).

 I've been talking about the fact that there may be many different reasons as to why you - or anyone else - simply DON'T or CAN'T "see it", "want it" and/or "get it". for many, it's not that they don't have a desire for something better in and for their life but they simply don't have the necessary belief system that can support that desire or dream. They just CAN'T see it as a real possibility in/for their life and because they DON'T or CAN'T "see it" ("it" is that dream or desire) and, as a simple result of this process, they DON'T get it and WON'T get it.Why? You CANNOT GET what you don't see or want!

And, again, if you're o.k. with staying where you are for the rest of your life then, guess what? IT'S YOUR LIFE! But, I choose to believe that most of you that are reading this article right now DO have "something" deep inside of you that is "burning" and waiting to be fanned into a mighty flame! 

How sad it is when you have within you the very things you need to live a bigger and better life. I do believe that you DO have, inside of you, what you need and you have it right now. It's there. Waiting to be uncovered, fanned into that burning flame  that I mentioned earlier. 

So, HOW CAN YOU DISCOVER and UNCOVER "that thing" that is "HIDDEN" deep inside? 

Simple answer: you need help to do so!

Yep. 

And, you probably already know what I'm going to say next. I CAN HELP YOU do just that! In case you don't quite get that, let me ask you another question - If you, on your own, had the ability and/or knowledge to do this, don't you think you would already be enjoying some success in that area?

Here your next step. Of course, that depends on whether or not you actually WANT to uncover and discover what you have waiting for you and your future. The next step is for you to go to my community on Skool (link below) and sign up, for free, to be a part of that community. When you do, introduce yourself with a post and I will welcome you personally and we will begin the process right then and there!

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Don't WANT It?

Be sure to go back and read all of the preceding articles in this series that started with, "SEE IT - WANT IT - GET IT" and follow through step by step. ESPECIALLY make sure you read the article right before this one because they definitely connect. 

I've actually met some people, in my lifetime, that have said that they truly have no desire for any improvement or change in and for their life. They were completely satisfied with where they were and, you know what? THAT'S O.K. These people that I'm talking about weren't lazy. They were simply satisfied with where they were in life.

But, I've ALSO talked to some people that said the same thing and they were barely getting by and their family (spouse, kids, etc.) was suffering because of this mentality and, yes, they WERE lazy and were satisfied with the government stepping in to help them barely survive.  Honestly, for the most part, THAT mentality is very difficult to overcome if it's possible at all. 

And, finally, I've heard people say that they "Don't Want It" ("it" being something better) because they didn't fully believe that "it" was really even possible for them. As talked about in the last article, they DON'T (or CAN'T) See 'IT" so they don't even really know if they want it. Why? YOU CAN'T WANT WHAT YOU CAN'T SEE and YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU DON'T SEE!

 For many that find themselves in this situation that I mentioned in this last paragraph, there still seems to be "something" that burns within them that causes them to wonder if, indeed, they should even dream or desire of something better and if they COULD ever even possibly live their dream or desire.

YES, YOU CAN! 

Now, let's be real here. A lot of that does depend on some level of practicality, right? For example, I'm 66 years old and if I said my desire was to still play in the NBA then...uh...well, grandpa, you might want to sit down and us have a little talk! BUT, even at 66, if my desire is to have SOME sort of connection with the NBA then there might actually be some things that I might be able to accomplish and reach that goal and dream. (By the way, I don't have that desire). 

Fact is, too many are "afraid" to actually believe that it's possible. Maybe you've been told by family and friends that you just settle for "your lot in life" and don't expect anything better. Maybe you've expressed such a desire and were met with words such as, "Who are YOU to think you can do better? Who do you think you are??" and so, you just put that desire and dream back in the closet. 

Maybe - over the years - you've simply given up to where you CAN'T SEE IT any longer and, as a result, you DON'T WANT IT any longer.

So, yeah, just as this graphic states...WAKE UP and PAY ATTENTION!

I have been telling you - encouraging you - OFFERING you the opportunity for you to join my FREE community on Skool ("Finish What You Start") to join up with me PERSONALLY and to begin to get the help and guidance you likely need to REGAIN YOUR VISION and your FOCUS to move toward your dreams and desires. 

Now, I don't know that I've ever done this in my blog article but, I just stepped away from my writing and, when I sat back down to finish up, I felt a real "push" to share something with you spiritually. I'm not talking about the world's idea of "mystical/spiritual" but spiritual as in your souls relationship to God. I am a minister/preacher and I feel that there is someone - RIGHT NOW - reading this that NEEDS to hear this same idea/approach when it comes to your relationship with God because you have begun to feel that you CAN'T want something better in your relationship because you are a "failure" spiritually. 

Friend, listen to me...if that's you, that is a LIE FROM SATAN himself! I'm just going to share a link with you from a sermon I did just this past Sunday where I simply go through God's Word (the Bible) and share the thought of "Seeing Yourself Through God's Eyes". And, yes, I can help you with that as well. Here's the link:  https://youtube.com/live/bVkEV6unBVg?feature=share

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

DON'T "See" It?

 

As we start this article, let's try to clear something up...when it comes to desiring/wanting something BETTER in and for our lives, do you sometimes feel that you DON'T See "It" (that better future) or is it more than you simply CAN'T See "It"?

I would suggest that both would apply because I believe that they go hand in hand with each other. Think about it by using this is the "real", physical world. Let's say someone using binoculars tells you that they see an elk that is beyond your natural ability to see due to the distance. The can tell you about it and describe it to you and may even ask you, "Do you see it?" or "Can you see it?"

Well, in THAT scenario, you can't do EITHER, right? You DON'T see it because you CAN'T see it. And, not to get too confusing, you also CAN'T see it because you DON'T see it. 

Now then, when it comes to your desired "better future", why is it that, often, we have a hard time visualizing that better future in our lives...SEEING that better future ("it")?

I was going to type the words, "Do me a favor" but, you know what? Saying it more correctly would be for me to type, "Do YOURSELF a favor" by spending some time asking yourself the question, "What is BLOCKING MY VISION?"

For example, in the above example, you couldn't see the elk because you didn't have the tool in your hand that would allow you to actually see just as your friend was able to see...the binoculars, right? So, WHAT tool, what mindset, what...._________ will you need/DO you need in order to finally "See" that better future? YOU must think and begin to fill that blank and, yes, there likely will be MORE than one answer. 

Here's the thing, friend. I CAN and WILL help you with this but...here's the kicker...you have to reach out and let me know that you'd like my help. I can't SEE your need without you providing the proper tool for me to do so. In this case, it's you letting me know. 

One of the easiest ways to do so is to join my community (link below) on Skool and introduce yourself. When you do, I will personally welcome you into the community and that is when we connect and you can tell me about your struggle and what it is that you desire in and for your life.  

 Yes, it's free to join and I'll get you started heading in the right direction just like I try to do with my blog articles, podcasts and videos.

And, yes, there will be opportunity for you to dive deeper if you so desire.

Bottom line: will you stay "blind" to what waits for you and your future? 

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

DON'T See It? DON'T Want It? DON'T Get It?


 Yes, this is an absolute "FLIP" from the last article I shared with you which was: "SEE IT! WANT IT! GET IT!"  But, you know what? I know that, for many of you, you could easily put the word, "DON'T" in front of each of those and come up with what I have shown on the graphic above.

It's not so much that you "DON'T WANT" improvement in and for your life but you simply can't "See It" which also means that you just "DON'T GET IT". 

I've dealt with and struggled with this for years in my own life. I have always been one to have a big desire for something better. For example, I began this blog and my podcast back in 2009...yeah, that long ago! I had big plans on what I wanted to do and accomplish with my "Future You University" (my "umbrella" thought for all that I do in this area).

But, you know what? I did gain some traction over time but, overall, I've still come nowhere close to what I always planned to achieve. UNTIL...

I'm not going to go deep into this with this article but I did want to "touch base" on this side of the thought process and then, over the next 3 articles, I will address each of these 3 roadblocks that I have faced and that, I believe, many of YOU also face in your plans for a better you.

I will say this, though. IF what I'm describing fits you...describes YOU...then it is absolutely NECESSARY for you to join my FREE community on Skool, which is called, "Finish What You Start". I WILL help you "get over the hump" and FINALLY begin to see some positive movement in your life with your thoughts, ideas and plans for your better future. That's a promise IF you're willing to take that step. 

Sign up/join and introduce yourself in my community and I will connect and welcome you personally and we will go from there. 

 Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

SEE IT! WANT IT! GET IT!


 Now, for some people, the title of this particular article may "rub them the wrong way" in that they think it sounds "greedy" and unlike something I should be promoting.
 
Here's a couple of things I suggest before you settle on that thought and opinion. First of all, be sure to read all of this article and, secondly, watch the video and/or listen to the podcast version of this topic (links below for both). Then decide if you still think that same way.
 
You shouldn't and I don't think you will.
 
This is a SIMPLE (to say and agree with) 3-step process for anyone that wants to move ahead in their life and for their future in a positive and better way. 
 
Whatever your "goal" (resolution??) is for your life, you must SEE IT first and foremost. You have to be able to see YOURSELF as part of that goal vision! If you can't see yourself living that life that you desire or if you feel that you don't deserve a better life then, friend, you NEVER will be able to move forward and actually obtain that better and brighter future.  
 
So, you "see" it (whatever "it" is). Do you want it? How bad do you want it? How strong is your desire, your "why" behind that want and desire? Do you HAVE TO HAVE IT? Are you willing to "pay the cost" in whatever way is necessary? "Whoa, Mike, slow down there buddy! I want everything to get better as long as I don't have to change anything!" Yeah, we covered that silly (and worthless) thought a few articles ago. Go back and read it if you haven't done so already.  
 
Then, if you DO want it and you feel that you MUST have it in order to finally live the life you have dreamed about, then you must GO GET IT!  You've heard it and you know it's true...TALK IS CHEAP!
DESIRE without ACTION is worthless! 
 
By the way, if you still feel that this all sounds greedy (it's not), I'd like to direct you to what the Apostle Paul says in the New Testament in the book of Philippians, chapter 3 and verses 12-14. Read the previous verses for context and then pay close attention to what he says in verse 14..."I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
 
Paul says that he PRESSED ON for the GOAL to win the PRIZE...
 
He saw the goal...the PRIZE of Heaven that he WANTED so badly that he was ready and willing to do whatever he needed to do so that he could "obtain" or have it. As a matter of fact, in the last half of verse 13 he states what he was doing in order to keep his eyes focused on "the prize". Pay attention to what he says here:  "Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead..."
 
This is not some "prosperity preaching". Nope! It is a BIBLICAL EXAMPLE given on how to ACHIEVE that for which you seek. 
 
So, no, it's not a "greedy grab" type of life. Do some people use that idea and misuse it for their own greedy gain? ABSOLUTELY! But not you! Not us!
 
Listen to the podcast and/or watch the video...I got fired up on this one! I'm here to help YOU finally move forward past all of failed plans from your past and all of the useless "New Year's Resolutions" that you, along with so many others, have "declared" only to put it to the side in just a few, short weeks. 
 
Isn't it time? JOIN MY COMMUNITY if you are ready to start taking some ACTION and not just continue to READ about these thoughts and ideas or listen to them! 
 
Will you be one of the "action takers" that step up and say, "I'm ready! LET'S DO THIS!" ?  (and yes, it's free to sign up and join).
 
Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE. 
 
As always..."Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

What Will YOU Choose?


 Here's a powerful quote from the late, Jim Rohn, that this article is based upon...                                          “Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?” 
 
 I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to hear Jim Rohn speak in person before he passed away. I had no idea who he was when I first heard him but I soon found out that he had so much valuable information that he had been sharing for years that I absorbed everything of his that I could after that. POINT TO REMEMBER: If you have the opportunity - especially in person - to hear someone along the lines of a Jim Rohn,  you need to DO IT and not hesitate! You never know how long that opportunity will exist and making that move could have a profound impact upon your life! (This actually goes along with what I'm talking about in this article today).
 
In the Bible, Genesis 2:7 tells us that God breathed life into man! Wow! That, my friend, is what sets us apart from all of the other living, breathing creatures on this planet.                                                   Because God has breathed HIS BREATH into us - mankind - we have been MADE FOR MORE!!! 
 
But, as Jim Rohn mentioned in that quote up there, we - mankind - have been given the ability and the opportunity o CHOOSE what we want to do in and for our lives.   
 
And, the sad part is, most choose to do far less than they can. Too often, we choose to do "just enough to get by". I mean, hey, why do more?
 
BECAUSE YOU CAN!  
 
What if you began to STEP UP and STEP IN to living UP TO your FULL POTENTIAL? 
 
I'm just going to let that set and "simmer" for you to consider. You need to go watch the video and/or listen to the podcast for more thoughts on this. And then, guess what? YOU NEED TO TAKE ACTION!
#1 action step: SIGN UP FOR MY FREE COMMUNITY ON SKOOL. The link is below and there is NO reason for you not to do so. Unless you just want to stay where you are. In that case, there's nothing I can do for you You have to WANT to make the change necessary in order to reach the life you say you desire.  
 
The ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE.

Get Rid of Old Ways (G.R.O.W.)


 This article goes hand in hand with the recent one that talked about the idea that some people have that they want everything to be BETTER as long as THEY don't have to change. 

*Buzzer Sound* WRONG ANSWER!

As the graphic above illustrates, if we actually want things to be BETTER in and for our lives then we MUST "Grow"...we must "Get Rid of Old Ways". 

I talk about this type of thing ever time I record a video, a podcast or write a blog article. So...what now?

First and foremost, you must make a DECISION about what you truly want for your life and the lives of those around you. Not an empty "resolution" made every year at the start of every new year but an actual FIRM COMMITTMENT, a DETERMINATION of necessary change and improvement. 

I'm telling you for sure, one thing that you can actually DO and not cost you any money to DO, is to sign up and join my community on Skool (link below). Why? Because you MUST do something to "Get Rid of Your Old Ways" which means it's time to DO SOMETHING NEW. 

Join (again, it's free) and introduce yourself. I'll welcome you personally and we'll start the process of getting you finally following through and being able to "Finish What You Start" (the name of my community). 

Now then...what will you actually do? "For things to change, things have to change. If nothing changes, nothing changes." 

As always..."Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

I Want EVERYTHING to Get Better...IF

Here's the rest of the quote that I heard from Myron Golden the other day..."I want things to get better IF I can stay the same."

Now, that would be comical IF it weren't so sad. You may be like me in that I've actually known of - and heard - people saying things things that indicate that, indeed, they really DO believe it!

You and I both know, it just doesn't work that way.

You've heard it said many different ways before along the lines of what I put together in the above graphic several years ago. Again, IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE! It's actually "common sense" which, often, is NOT so common. 

What about you? If you admit to yourself that you have settled into this mind trap then ask yourself what are you going to DO to change that mindset? Reading things like this, listening to things like my podcast or watching things like my videos are GREAT tools to use but, friend, if you never actually take ACTION on the things that you absorb and learn...what good does it do you? Here's your answer: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired when it comes to the realization of this problem in and with your life then it's time to put that behind you and, finally, STEP FORWARD and take some action. Would you like me to give you an EASY step with which to begin? 

Sure, keep reading this blog. If you've not done so, start listening to the podcast...maybe several times throughout your day. Watch the videos. Like, follow and share with as many other people as possible that likely struggle with this as well. But, here is likely the BEST and MOST SIMPLE step to take...JOIN MY SKOOL COMMUNITY (the link is listed below) and get involved there.

Why? Because there will be interaction there instead of just reading, listening and/or watching something. As this community grows, you will be surrounded with like-minded individuals that are also on the road to changing and improving their lives. No, this will NOT be a "whiners convention"...that simply won't be allowed. For example, I will be doing a LIVE STREAM tomorrow night (Thursday, 7.30.26 @ 7 p.m. CST) that is only available to those that have joined the community. It will be interactive! If you have already missed that date, join up and be watching because I will likely try to do this at least once a week and, maybe, even 2x per week. 

The link to join THIS particular live event is:  https://www.skool.com/live/flGcrMzhx5s

So, there you have it...a beginning solution to a problem that you likely - like many others - have battled for years. Isn't time to finally DO SOMETHING about it in order to MAKE THAT CHANGE (for the better) in and for your life? Yes. It is.  

And, as always..."Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"

Who Are You? (How Did You Get HERE?)

 

No, this is not an article about "origins" as far as, "Were you created by God" or "Did you evolve". We could definitely have a discussion about that and, maybe sometime I'll develop a course on the Bible and share it in my new community on Skool (link below).

HOWEVER, this IS still a class about "origins" in that we are talking about how what you have done IN your life, ALL THROUGH your life has brought you to where you find yourself today. 

Myron Golden, in his book, "From the Trash Man to the Cash Man" (p. 109) says that he once heard a man say, "You are what you are what you have been becoming." Then Mr. Golden goes on with the following comments which, I think, are worth sharing with you here... "Your future will be the sum total o your present days and you will be what you are becoming right now."

WOW! You may be thinking, "Yeah, o.k...that makes sense" but, friend, take some time and LET THAT SINK IN! This is what I have been talking about for some time now. The "votes" we cast (decisions we make) during the course of each and every day MATTER and has an IMPACT on our future - good or bad, positive or negative! 

Are you wanting more for your future? Do you want to improve in your mindset, attitude and approach on things that you must do and become in order to achieve that better future? IT AIN'T GONNA' HAPPEN BY ITSELF! 

Now then, you may be one (like me in the past) that has considered these things and thought a lot about them. You may have bought books, online courses and maybe even attended seminars in person that "fired you up" but...for whatever reason, you still have never actually followed through.

That's more common than you think and that's why I do what I do and that's why I want to challenge you with each and every article, podcast and video. That's why I've developed my community on Skool and that's why you need to join up for free so that you, too, can be surrounded by a similar group of people that are sick and tired of that "hamster wheel" that has gotten them absolutely nowhere.  

I'm here to help BUT you have to be willing to understand that, if you keep doing what you've always done, you will keep getting what you have always gotten. Do you like the thought of that?

And, finally, in "From the Trash Man to the Cash Man", Myron Golden also mentioned (p. 110) that he read the following in a book once: "We better spend time preparing for our future because we are going to spend the rest of our lives there."

Let that sink in as well. Let me hear from you. When you join my community and introduce yourself, I will connect with you and welcome you personally.

Become MORE! (Yes, You CAN!)

 

I had the opportunity to hear the late, great, Jim Rohn speak a couple of times before his passing. A couple of quick and important lessons in that alone...#1. If you have the opportunity to hear one of our current "top minds" in whatever area you are pursuing - DO IT and DO IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE I was actually at an event at which he was scheduled to speak and which would have been my 3rd time to hear him but he was ill and unable to do so. He passed shortly after that.    #2: I was able to do so because I was part of a MLM organization that had hired him to speak at their conventions. This was something NEW for me to do but, if nothing else, I had the opportunity to learn from someone like Jim Rohn! 

Why do I mention those things? Because they are EXACTLY what I'm discussing in today's article...stretch and push yourself so that YOU can become MORE!


Notice what he said in this quote and APPLY IT TO YOURSELF. This should cause you to ask yourself a couple (at least) of questions such as:  1. Do I feel (and maybe even complain) that I'm not making enough money? 2. What am I doing about it as far as improving myself in the area of personal growth? 

Listen, you can earn all of the certificates, etc. that you can or want and still not do well because of your personal skills and mindset. That, my friend, is a fact.

Here's another graphic from one of my white boards in my office...

 


 

 Maybe you've heard the idea of "Be - Do - Have" with the explanation behind it being that, if you want to change and improve your life you must first BEcome the person you need to become in order to DO the things necessary for you to HAVE those things that you desire. I've heard that discussed and explained very well and I understand the point behind that line of thinking. 
 
However (and this is another point to consider as well), I don't completely agree with that order or process. As indicated on that image from my whiteboard, I think you must first DO something before anything else takes place. What is it that we must DO? We must FIRST make a firm DECISION about what it is that we want to accomplish in and for our future! Once that is done, THEN (in my opinion) and ONLY then can we figure out and know what it is we need to DO in order to achieve that result.
 
(Hey Mike, what's the other "point to consider" that you mentioned?) Don't just settle for what someone says...no matter who it is! Now then, let me differentiate that a little. Just because you don't understand something or it's not clear to you at the time does NOT mean that it is wrong! If you are listening to someone that has "been there, done that" and you haven't, you likely don't understand because your mindset hasn't developed to the same point that theirs has. Right?
Write that thing down so that you can go back and examine it again and again and again and, if possible, listen and/or read more from that same person which may also help you begin to understand what was being said.
But, that STILL doesn't mean that you have to agree with everything that was said. So it was with what I shared with you by using the graphic above. I heard what they said and I understood the reasoning behind what they said and, for a while, I agree with what they said. But, as I grew and developed I began to believe the thought that I shared with you that you must first DO something and that "something" was to MAKE A DECISION! 
 
Bottom line is simply this: You must WANT something so badly for yourself and your future that you DO WHAT IS NECESSARY for you to BECOME MORE so that you CAN have what you desire.

Try Something NEW??


So, earlier today I was going to record a video to put on my new Skool Community ("Finish What You Start!") that is linked down below and found that, once I got ready to do so, I could actually do a "LIVE" version. 

I thought that was great and, even though I'd done live steam videos on other platforms but never on Skool, I figured that I could figure it out. But, guess what? I couldn't! At least NOT YET!

And I will.

Now, this is just a very small example of what, for many, is a much bigger problem that often keeps us stuck where we are and afraid to step out and move forward. 

Ready or not, we live in a very fast-paced evolution of technology that can (if learned to be used correctly) make things so much easier for us (you and me) than was possible just a very short time ago.

But, will you step out and "try something new"?

Or, will you simply say, "I can't" or "I don't know how" and allow this new technology to pass you by?

It all goes back to what we have been talking about for the past couple of months talking about the decisions (aka, "VOTES") that we make each and every day and facing the fears that hold us back.

So, it all depends on your DECISION as to what it is you truly want for your future. Yep! It's up to you but I am here to help along the way, if you'd like. (THE great reason to join me in my new Skool Community listed below).
