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.

Dedicated To Your Success

I remember about 6 years ago when I had been in the car business for over 13 years I enjoyed it because I was not getting paid hourly, there was just something about being able to somewhat control what my monthly income was going to look like.  Realistically though there were very slow months in the car business as well.  But the reason I’m writing this post is for a few reasons I actually did okay in the car business because I was a student in that industry.  I knew about the cars I was selling and I knew about the competition.  I would go to several trainings in person as well as online, I knew how to do a six point walk around on a car to sell the FAB (features, advantages and benefits).  The reason I did train is so I could be just a little bit better then my competition and it did make a difference in my income.  Now the big picture was, what was my future going to look like if I continued to do the same thing in life…there was a ceiling to my income Continue Reading

If you want things done right, do it yourself!  NOT ALWAYS, but yet that is the phrase that was constantly embed in most of us our whole lives.  I do like the action part of it (DO IT) but I also think that whole phrase has caused a lot of people to decide not to get the right results because they feel they don’t have what it takes to get something done right.  This can be for a few reasons, one reason for sure is like Jimmy I knew of.  He started a business for himself and unfortunately didn’t have any mentors or guidance and didn’t want any because like his dad, if something broke or wasn’t working right he put duct tape on it or jimmy rigged it himself, no pun intended.  Now if something went wrong he would actually look for someone else to blame versus taking responsibility for his own wrong action.  Well Jimmy grew up his whole life seeing his dads way of living which that can be tough because we all constantly see what is around us growing up  and all of those actions and results were sunk into Jimmy’s sub-conscious or first mind just like us.  Jimmy unfortunately like anyone when forming a habit, a bad habit can be a tough problem to reverse after years and years of being engrained daily.  So most people like Jimmy took action but they didn’t get the right results so they gave up.  All because they were not living the full truth of what I believe that phrase “if you want something done right… truly means. What does it mean?  It simply means if you want something done right, take right action

Two very dangerous occupations and in both of them you can DIE!!

Well it’s true but let me break it down for you. You’re out in the middle of the vast ocean with your crew in a tiny speck of a vehicle we call a ship. You are up against weather conditions that you can’t control, possibility of rogue waves that can break forged steel ships in half, you can get trapped inside of ice due to the crazy conditions from ice storms, the weather conditions are definitely not tropical, it’s FREEZING, you have men that can go overboard and you can’t save, could get crushed by huge crab pots, could get severely sick and be miles away from any help.  You cast all those crab pots all over the place and after spending all that time each one you pull up is completely empty.   This is one of the most dangerous occupations.

Your Home Business You Can Die?

Yep let me explain, right now you are Continue Reading

One of life’s greatest gifts is the ability to give with no strings attached. A young boy answered his door one Thanksgiving morning, and a total stranger handed him a huge box filled with food for his struggling family. That magical moment helped shape the young man’s future. Today, Tony Robbins feeds millions every year through the Anthony Robbins Foundation’s Basket Brigade. No strings attached.

This holiday season Tony invites you to feed your spirit by joining him in the gift of giving. In this short video he tells you why he started the Basket Brigade and how you can participate by feeding one or more needy families this Thanksgiving. Go to:
