Understand This

I was on a leadership call that we were having with our team and was reminded by one of our top leaders Melissa McGarvey that I had said “some of us have stinkin thinkin that’s why our bank accounts are funky” LOL but very true though.  What you have to understand in life is that success and failure are all related to what goes in between your two ears and behind your two eyes and more important then all what goes into your heart.  When you are listening to negative data or watching negative shows and news etc… you are setting yourself up for a mindset of failure.  Right now you need to make it mandatory that you are feeding your mind things that will allow you to grow in the direction you want to go.

Recharge or Die (it’s really true)
You need to make it mandatory and not optional that daily you are infusing your mind with people that are giving you empowering thoughts that are based on results not based on theory, with that being said find out what audio books, books or videos the leaders around you are plugging into.  Get this you don’t have to spend all day listening and watching stuff, if you did that then you would never get anything productive done and action and production is what equal results.  But take just a little time out daily heck start out with 30minutes until you can move into a little more time and make sure that you either wake up earlier to get this personal growth done or you do it late at night after your business hours.  By the way speaking of plugging in like I mentioned earlier visualize this, if you are like a battery and you have no place to recharge then you will eventually become powerless and useless so you need to make it mandatory that you stay plugged into a power source daily and weekly.

If your company or team has a weekly call you need to make it mandatory that you attend and you need to lead the charge for your team.  If it’s not important to you it won’t be important to them and you will lead your team to a failure mindset.  The same thing goes with making it to company events in different states or locally, I know especially with the company ViSalus that I work with we are an event driven company that definitely make our events worth investing to attend.

You must start living your life and changing the way you think to a mandatory mindset of doing what people that are successful are doing, if you want to be successful.

Start right now which you really are already by plugging into this blog, but please do not take this lightly because you are not guaranteed tomorrow in life and especially if you have kids or if you are wanting to have a family, you are responsible to make sure your kids are set up and if you continue to do the same things expecting things to change, yeah that’s right you are insane I said it yes I’m talking to you if the shoe fit (great thing about shoes is we can get new ones LOL).

It’s Mandatory I Do What I Do
I hope you understand the only reason I take the time out of my busy schedule to post in my blog is because I truly care about others success and I really don’t care if it benefits me financially or not, I just love to know that I gave it my best shot and that I may have impacted your life or someones life that reads my posts.  All I ask of people who read my blog is pay it forward.  Comment if you have something good or bad to say about a post you read here people love comments and really I like people who keep it real, also please click one of the social media tabs below like Facebook or Twitter and send the posts that you may like here to people in your social media circle so you can help empower others and eventually lead them to a mandatory mindset of success.

P.S.  Here’s a short list of what I believe should be a part of a mandator y mindset

1. Spiritual Equipping
2. Your happiness because people want to be around happiness it is attractive.
3. Personal growth which ties into spiritual equipping as well at least 30minutes daily
4. Setting goals (daily goals make a list the night before of what you want to accomplish put the most difficult goals for the next day first and don’t stop until you accomplish what’s on that list.  Weekly Goals are good because they are the foundation for your monthly goals I would also set a Quarter goal meaning a goal for every 3 months.  TIP: When setting a goal make it something that makes you stretch a little out of your comfort zone because if you don’t get uncomfortable like in lifting weights you won’t grow but don’t make your goal to difficult.  Lastly HUGE TIP make sure you have an accountability partner that you can share your goals with.
5. Taking a little bit of action daily is like water dripping on a rock, it will eventually create a complete change in a solid structure so don’t put off tomorrow what you can do right now.
6. Success formula I was taught is put my Lord 1st spouse or significant other 2nd kids 3rd and business last.

No Matter How Busy You Are – by Jim Rohn 

No matter how busy you are, make sure to find some time over the next two weeks to reflect, think, give and plan.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is the ideal time for this. Try to slow things down. Spend time with the ones you love and care about. Take some time to talk with your spouse and kids about goals and dreams for the next year. Use this as a time to recharge your batteries (and not just by watching TV the entire time), and with excitement, think about a handful of changes or additions you want for your life in the New Year.

I believe you will find the act of reflecting, thinking, dreaming and planning (with your family) to be one of the most important exercises you can do that will positively impact the next 12 months.

And, remember, do not neglect to commit yourself to set this time aside, or you will find that the business of life can and will get in the way.

So, let’s all take a moment to gather up the past year of victories and defeats, growing as well as those times of stagnation, and use it to wipe a clean slate and thoughtfully design the next year the way we truly desire it to be.

Happy New Year don’t just say it mean it and take the proper actions to make it really be that.

Quiet on the set!!! Ready, set, action! One single perfect take is what a producer really hopes for but why? Because it saves the producer time and money. The big advantage a producer has that you don’t have in your business is the actors, including the extras aren’t going to leave because they get paid to be there and finish their role in the upcoming attraction or commercial. So here’s what I know to be right and I’ve seen this happen for years both the right way and the wrong way, you must learn to be a good producer/actor. What do you mean Madiba? What I mean is your business is a daily ongoing movie and you are constantly scouting for new up and coming talent. Both the producer and actor must sell each other on why they would like one to be in this specific production. The problem, the bad producer is talking to much they are telling more then they need to, where as the good producer says just enough and then gives the actor a script to follow. Cool thing about the script is the actor gets to add their personality and their personal flare to it.

When auditioning for a part
Follow a script because that is something everyone who is auditioning for their part in the movie is doing, you will have some that do better than others at reading the script which will allow some to get star parts and others to get co-star and parts as an extra. The GREAT PART is that as people go through their acting career they have the opportunity to get coaching and become better at their craft which can eventually put them in a lead role. It’s the same with your business you will determine how great you become and how fast you become a person who takes that lead role, so definitely keep on getting mentoring and coaching, never think you are to good.

Quiet on the set/business etiquette
This is a very critical part that I notice a lot of people miss out on big time and ruin adding new actors to their life business movie.  When you are having people sit down at a challenge party or at your business overview at your home or where ever it is held then you must be quiet once the presentation comes on, unless the video or speaker is asking an interactive question like “raise your hand if…”

You are the leader and if you start talking everyone else that’s not a pro at your event thinks it’s okay to talk and if you start walking around to do something, then that just takes emphasis away from the importance of what you are having them watch.   Lastly if you have a leader over at your event just be quiet and let that leader be the producer for the day, they are in the position they are in through activity not theory.  Let them help you make money, if you talk over them or talk period instead of letting them answer question you are only hurting your business and not leading by example.  So in turn what will happen when you go to your team members event where you are the proven leader, they will remember you talking when you had another proven leader in the building.  When a leader is in your event DON’T SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO (Sorry for the all caps but just trying to get my money making point for you across) QUIET ON THE SET…READY, SET, ACTION!  These are all critical parts to a movie and more important a VERY CRITICAL part to your movie that you are acting in don’t deviate and you will get paid.

Please take heed
When leaders are pouring out to you like this blog post it is not based on theory at least not the leaders I run with.  We give value advice based on action we’ve taking that produces proven results.  The current business that you are in can produce a lifetime of wealth if you take it serious.  The reason that certain stars get paid the big bucks is because they take their craft serious and they constantly are working to improve it.  The same thing is the case here in your business you will notice the ones making the big bucks have a certain characteristic to them and they keep working on their craft to get better.  The great part about your movie business is you are the producer/actor and you can’t be fired, the bad part is you can’t be fired.  So that being the case you must be willing to follow the leader, find someone who is in the position that you want to be in this will make your entrepreneurship journey easier.

In closing Lights are on, Camera is rolling, the only thing missing is your proper Action, so are you ready?  I know you are or you wouldn’t be reading this so on that note I’m out so we can get busy.
