Definition to Success

iStock_000012173886Small

 “Success is not a Destination, Success is a Definition”.  The reason so many people feel like failures is not just from a lack of results or the missing of set goals.  The biggest culprit is not knowing what Success means to them. There is no such thing as a public standard to measure success with because it’s not a title, rank, position or income destination, it is a personalized definition based on your own standards.  What success means to me may not mean to you.  For me sticking with my health and exercise program warrants total success in my mind and heart.

I would encourage you to take some time out and create your own definition of Success.  What does it really mean to you?  The worst place to measure Success is from other people and what they are doing.  Success can only be measured by what it means to you, the value and the meaning you place on it.  Once you come to terms of what success means to you write down in big letters “This Is What Success Means To Me…(Your Name)”! and then below it write out your definition.  The great thing about this is you can and will change it throughout your life time.

When I was ten years old Success meant throwing a fast ball batters could not hit.  On my 55th birthday my adult kids talked me into throwing a fast ball at Knott’s Berry Farm which almost sent me to the hospital in an ambulance.  It felt like my shoulder broke in two.

I promise you my definition of success is no longer throwing fast balls!

For millions of people earning a million dollars a year seems like a lot of money, but if Bill Gates only made a million dollars a year he would be asking his wife to sign them up for food stamps.  You cannot make Success a destination you can only make it your definition.

“Leadership Is Not Permission to Dominate, Leadership Is Permission to Protect”

When I look back over the past 34 years of my career I realize that all my Mentors did one thing and that was to help me focus on becoming a “Proficient Leader” for each one knew that Leadership is the foundation of all wealth and success.  They also knew Leadership starts at home, with you.  I was trained at 19 years old by my Mentors on leading myself to develop discipline, excellence, vision, determination, persistence, faith, honor, loyalty, courage and class.  I had to lead myself in these areas before I could ever develop to a point that I could lead others. 

“Challenges Make the Strong Stronger and the Weak Weaker”

Therefore Choose to Be Strong! In whatever profession you are in your ultimate goal is to take on the role and move into the position of leadership. However, many people mistake management for leadership and that is a deadly mistake if you are in the “Team Building Business” which is one of the highest paid professions in the world.  They say if you are a leader and no one is following you then you are simply taking a walk. The true role of leadership is anything but glamorous but in fact one that is of service.  Leadership is many times a very lonely road.  While others are home resting you are up working late into the night and early morning to help and be a service to people.  It is a role that is undervalued and underappreciated.  Most of the time you are the first one to a meeting (setting everything up) and the last one to leave (cleaning everything up).

The crowds enjoy all the value you bring and the service you provide and after the party is over they zoom out with their presents without saying thank you.  This however is a very small price and sacrifice in comparison to knowing that as a true Leader you are changing lives and creating destinies for good people.  And just to put the icing on the cake, it pays so well in income that you will live like a King or Queen with Financial Freedom!  Use your business to “build people” don’t use “people to build your business”!

“Intention of the Heart”

handshake

Be too big for Gossip.  As a high caliber Professional never allow yourself to give gossip or be part of gossip or spread gossip.  You are to high quality of a person to allow yourself to stoop to that type of low caliber behavior. Donald Trump has a policy in his company that he says is one of the main reasons why his company is so successful which is “Never Do Business With Any One You Do Not Trust”Trust is an attribute that is more valuable than all the diamonds in the world.  Trust unlike precious diamonds cannot be purchased.

As humans we often make mistakes and we will continue to make mistakes as long as we are on this earth.  And the fact is the more you accomplish, the more you succeed, the more wealth you create the more mistakes you will make.  Greatness is paved with the road of mistakes.  Mistakes do not make you untrustworthy.  If your company goes bankrupt that does not mean you are dishonest and cannot be trusted.

Trust is not a product of a perfect life that never makes mistake, Trust is a byproduct of the “Intention of the Heart”A person who cannot be trusted is a person who has a wicked heart full of evil intention to do harm to people on purpose.  Once you intentionally do evil to someone from the corruption of the heart you will never be trusted again and that is a very sad thing that will mar your career and future.

Mistakes can be forgiven, status can be restored but broken trust creates an irreparable breach in relationships.  Yes broken trust can be forgiven but trust can never truly be restored.  Be very careful that you do not get marked or marred as one who cannot be trusted.  You can lie about people and say that they cannot be trusted but in time that person’s integrity will rise to the surface and it will be known that those were false accusations.  On the other hand no matter how much you try to hide or cover up a corrupt heart that cannot be trusted, that too will soon surface for all to see.

In everything you do keep a high standard…you are a true Professional!

As much as I would like to personally sit down with you and chat about your goals and dreams over a fresh Latte I know that is impossible due to time and distance. However, let me do the next best thing, I will ship you a gourmet Latte along with a questionnaire about your business goals and dreams and you can send that back to me and I will respond with some ideas.  Just send me your shipping address and I will get you the gourmet coffee and questionnaire right out to you.

“Problems We Solve”

stock-photo-17026598-holding-the-sky

We are known and remembered by the “Problems We Solve” or the “Problems We Create”.

The marketplace is very attracted to those who solve problems and will in fact pay high fees depending on the importance of the problems you solve. This is why I counsel business owners and professionals never “frustrate your customers and clients” but always seek to make your business culture one that is easy and user friendly.  We welcome problem solvers with open arms and appreciate their contribution to our life, but when we encounter a “problem creator” we want to run to the rest room and throw up!

There are some people no matter what, they always have problems, create problems and are a major problem.  The sad fact is, they don’t want their problems solved they just enjoy causing problems.  These people are extremely toxic and addicting and difficult to rid your business and life from, that is what makes them so dangerous.  It’s ok to be a “walking problem” when we are toddlers but hey when the diapers come off so should our problem making come off too.  Our Grandson E-Jay who is coming up to his first birthday is a bundle of joy who we love without measure, but that homeboy is trouble on two little legs.  Our house looks like a “Hurricane” hit it after he comes for a visit.

The other day Melinda went to go pick him up, and she wanted to take our Nissan Cube but I said no just take the new car.  As we left together in separate cars, I taking the Cube got to the corner when I had this major vision of E-Jay in the back seat slinging cookies, crackers and juice all over the leather seats in our brand new car.  I slammed on my brakes, made and instant U-turn and flew down the high way to catch up to Melinda.  Speeding with flashing lights and honking horn I finally caught up to hear and yelled “Pull Over”!

I jumped out of the car and said…I just had a Vision and it wasn’t good!  We traded cars instantly.  Let’s make sure as professional adults we get the reputation of being a “Problem Solver instead of people looking at us and having a vision of a “Burning Inflamed Hemorrhoid” on two feet better known as a pain in the rump!

“Professional Finisher”

shaking hands

It’s easy to start things but difficult finishing things.  One of the greatest culprits to success is not learning how to become a “Professional Finisher”.  Millions of people are full of talent, skill, ability, ambition, motivation, knowledge, education, connections, faith, vision, and intention but still find themselves broke, financially challenged and still not achieved their major dreams.  I am sure you know lots of people like this, and in fact you may be one of them yourself.  What is wrong with this picture?  Why are the dream puzzle parts not fitting?  Why is the cake not baked?

In our Mentorship program I deal with the majority of people that fit into this group and help them figure out what is wrong.  After all the mechanics are said and done, the basic underlying problem is that they are fantastic at starting things, they bang out of the gate like a race horse on steroids, they blaze across the sky like a shooting star but never succeed because they have never developed the “Art and Skill” of being a “Professional Finisher”.

Many things come into play when we talk about this subject, because there are times that we must exit from a business, plan, system, industry or product.  Working hard on things that don’t work, don’t make them work, yet this is the plan millions of people are on.  Every business and project has 3 parts;

  1. The Entry (starting point)
  2. The Staying (growing point)
  3. The Exit (sell it, dump it, die and pass it on)

Becoming proficient in these three areas are extremely important if your goal is success and financial achievement.  This is learning the “Art and Skill” of “Professional Finishing Power”.  Our job as far as Melinda and I are concerned is to help people “Save Money and Earn Money” instead of Spend Money.  There is nothing more fun that helping people and making money. And there is no better income than earning income from the efforts of other people.

It’s pure joy to wake up every morning, go to our computer back office and see money put into our account because of the work and effort of those we Mentor, train and teach.  We get paid because of their success!

For all of you who are struggling financially, or who desire to set yourself up for a comfortable retirement or those who hate their job and career, Melinda and I live to help you find a better way, and a way out of those conditions.  And here is the important thing, it’s so simple and it does not cost you a dime to start.  You simply have to contact us and we will show you the way.

You have the skills, talents, gifts, ability and desire, you just need to learn the skill of becoming a Professional Finisher”.

Raise Your “Personal Standards”

people

Raise your “Personal Standards” if you want to excel in life, business, income and in your chosen profession.  Professionals do not work unprofessionally, sloppy, off the cuff, shoot from the hip or haphazardly. Professionals have a higher standard of integrity, protocol and humbleness (self control).  There is nothing more pathetic than seeing a professional athletic that is paid millions of dollars a year act “unprofessional on the field”.  Professionals constantly work towards the 8 point professional standard.

Professionals work to…

  1. Improve themselves
  2. Improve their mission
  3. Improve their values
  4. Improve their service
  5. Improve their performance
  6. Improve their contribution
  7. Improve their thinking
  8. Improve their relationships

This is why professionals earn professional incomes.  Go Pro, it will give you everything you need and most of what you want.

“Strike Gold”

Gold

“Strike Gold”  Millions of people flood into Las Vegas and hit the gambling tables and slot machines with high hopes and intentions of “Striking Gold”.  It is a sad and pathetic system that lures the ignorant into more financial misery, debt and hopelessness. Those that take that route, I don’t blame (not approve) them for trying to drink the pain away.  However, there is a much better and easier way to “Strike Gold” and that is to acquire it one gram at a time.

I have been acquiring Gold since 1980 and the joy and thrill of getting another piece of Gold is unlike any other feeling you can imagine.  To see your wealth grow one Gold gram at a time is exciting, rewarding and most of all profitable.  I am still amazed to watch how Wealthy people amass their fortune, and how financially challenged people blow their money.

Wealthy people are those who build their assets…then build their lifestyle.  I encourage people every day to earn as much money as you can in the field of your choice only take a little of that money and save it in Gold.  If you got on a saving plan of just getting Gold one gram at a time (about $65.00) you could save your way to a financial fortune.

Gold in your bank feels a lot better than having nothing in your bank.  Don’t wait for things to improve, make the improvements now by acquiring some Gold.  I assure you in the very near future you will be glad you did.

“Strike Gold” it’s in your power…one gram at a time.

Time Factor

Business system and competition concept

“Time” is the great factor which decides financial freedom or financial struggle in our future. Time is broken down for the most part in centuries, years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds. It is what we do in (or fail to do) in the small increments of time like days that is the great determination wealth factor in our life.  The strange thing is, this dynamic of time goes unnoticed, undetected, and silent but holds the power to change generations and world affairs.

“Time” becomes our greatest allay or our most deadly enemy. How we apply and manage time determines our fate in every aspect of our life. “Time” is working to build our wealth or working to destroy our money.  For example in 1932 $100,000 in US dollars (paper currency) is now worth $2,000.00 in 2014.  Time eroded its purchasing power and strength.  $100,000 in Gold in 1932 is worth over 4 Million dollars toady in 2014. Time worked to increase and multiply the purchasing power and strength in Gold currency.

Many people thought (and speculated) that the way I was able to build our publishing, speaking, and Mentoring and film companies were through skill and hard work, however that was not the Secret although we do work hard and hone our skills daily.  My secret has been that I “Listened to those who had what I wanted and followed their actions”.  A very simple plan that anyone could follow.  I am amazed at how so many people work so very hard to create financial stability in their life yet refuse to listen to the very people who have not only financial stability but financial freedom.

Learn to Organize

Mind Set

Learning how to organize, focus, persist and delegate are extremely important attributes to have in order to reach your full potential.  I was talking to my good friend and master entrepreneur Joseph Botelho about success and we both agreed that success is important but the aim in life is to create “Significance”.  Significance entails everything you would find in success like wealth, achievement, awards, fame, recognition, dreams and power but adds these 3 elements to it:

  1. What are you going to leave behind that will continue to better your family and humanity after you are gone?  Will people remember your name 50 years after you are gone?  Shoot most people are forgotten 50 days after they kick the bucket.  This is why I think everyone should be a published author.  We still read books that are over 100 years old today keeping that persons message and memory alive and their message continues to bless generations.
  2. Is what you do making a positive impact on people?  Are you making the lives of people better with what you bring to the marketplace?
  3. Love is the greatest force on earth.  I wish I could honesty say or describe what true love is or how it works, but I can’t.  What I can tell you is that we can see it and recognize it when it appears in our life from another human being.  It comes through the eyes, words, touch, compassion, forgiveness, empathy, caring, giving and acting. Love is much too powerful to contain in words, it has to be expressed in action.  What teen age boy has not told his girl friend “If you love me you will have my baby” That is not love, that is growing out of control hormones in full swing!

I encourage you to take a look at your life and revamp it not just to attain success but take it one step higher to “Significance”.

RELAX!!

sunshining

Why not try mixing “prayer” to your daily routine, you may find that is does wonders in combating stress, anxiety and fear.  A simple prayer of “Gratitude” goes a long way in bringing about peace in our heart and life.  As we all seek to do more, gain more and be more, the overload of this type of lifestyle can take its toll on our lives.  I shared with you a few weeks back how I woke up one day and realized I lost my “Peace”.  I was in such a mode of work and passion overload that life had to have one of my front teeth fall right out of my head in order for me to wake up and slow down.

When you are a professional speaker it is a heck of a thing to smile and look like a boxer who lost the fight!

It was a “Fire Alarm” that got my attention.  Since then my peace has been restored (and my tooth too!) and Melinda and I make it a early morning habit before we do anything else to spend a little time in prayer and being thankful for our life and all the good things we are blessed with. We also say a prayer for you and over you that you would receive every blessing in life God has for you.

Many times the best way to speed up is to slow down!  Take some time out from your stressful and busy day and just be good to yourself. Go get a foot massage, take in an afternoon movie, sleep in for once and enjoy life.  Remember Prosperity without Peace is no prosperity at all.

Need more money?  Try giving some away.  To the natural mind that sounds like insanity yet it is a Universal Law that works. You plant a seed you reap a harvest.  No one thinks a farmer is crazy because he uses this system.  Over the past 34 years I have given my way out of financial jams into financial abundance on many occasions.  In fact in 2004 I wrote a book about it where I highlight some of the wealthiest men on the earth like J.C. Penny, and John D. Rockefeller, and many others who went from broke to wealth using this system of giving.  It worked for them, it’s worked for me, and it work for you too.
