The Mindset of Success Continued.....

I am a Warrior…….

I am willing to do what’s hard.

If you aren’t as successful as you want to be;

If you aren’t as happy as you want to be:

If you aren’t as wealthy as you want to be;

If you aren’t as healthy as you want to be…..

Then the next few minutes will have a profound impact on your life.

We live in a world filled with Universal laws.

If you learn these laws and work with them, you can achieve extraordinary results.

But if you work against them, or ignore them, or try to alter them, you will never achieve the kind of success you want for yourself.

This blog is dedicated to everyone who wants to rise above the average. It’s for the people who want to join the elite top 5% who are achieving incredible results and have a burning desire to accomplish everything they truly want in life.

If you’ve been following along with the past few articles, you know that I’ve been writing about the declarations repeated throughout the Enlightened Warrior Training Program offered by Peak Potentials Training and my good friend and mentor, Harv Eker.

One thing I can tell you for certain is that for you to achieve great success, you have got to think in a very different way than the average person. Your mindsets, your attitudes, are everything.

Enlightened Warrior Training is all about creating the mindset of a winner. For you to become a true winner, you not only have to learn this mindset, you have to study it, and adopt it as your way of thinking from now on.

There’s an expression…..”Before you can DO something, you must first Be something”. Before you get the results you want in the physical, material world, you must first create the thoughts in your mental, emotional and spiritual world.

Success on a grand scale isn’t easy. If it was, everyone would be incredibly successful. But the facts are that most people aren’t even close to being really successful.

In my financial practice, less than 1 out of every 10 prospects I meet are good money managers. Their personal financial life is a disaster. They are living on the edge, and their dreams for retirement are exactly that, just dreams.

One of the biggest challenges most people have is that they don’t get what they want. And the reason they don’t get what they want is because they don’t know what they want.

But even when they do know what they want, many never achieve it.

Why?

Because there’s a huge difference between wanting something and having something.

Ask most people if they want to be rich and they’ll all say yes.

When you tell them what they have to do to get rich, they back away in a hurry.

Ask people to go out of their comfort zone, and they’re gone.

We all want to stay in our comfort zone. We all want to be “comfortable”. Unfortunately you will never grow when you are in your comfort zone. It’s only when you push yourself, when you do the uncomfortable, when you do what’s hard, that you grow.

Until you are prepared to do the uncomfortable, the hard, you will never see huge success.

Like almost anything new, at first, it’s hard. But the more you do that thing, the easier it gets. As Harv Eker says, “Every master was once a disaster”.

Do you want to achieve great success in your life?

If you really do, remember this declaration….

I am a Warrior……..
I’m willing to do what’s hard.

Namaste.

Back From Down Under.....

One of my greatest pleasures in life is travel, and Sue and I have just returned from a terrific trip to Australia and New Zealand.

It’s a long trip, but if you ever have the chance, go for it.

We had 19 wonderful days seeing the sites of the 2 countries, and we were only able to scratch the surface of all there was to see. Getting to pet and feed the kangaroos and wallabies was really special, something you can only do in Australia. New Zealand’s natural beauty was something I will never forget.

It didn’t take long to get right back into the swing of things once we returned, and I realized just how much I missed my writing.

The purpose of my blog is to share 38 years of knowledge from studying and applying the success principles of the greatest minds in recorded history. It has been a passion of mine since I was 15, and it is still true to this day. I know that these principles work because I have used them to create financial and personal success for myself, and I’ve seen hundreds of others achieve extraordinary results from applying these same concepts.

Even more important than sharing these concepts with others is to remind myself of things I already know but sometimes forget.

Before leaving on vacation, my focus was on solidifying my “Warrior Mentality”.

If you’ve been fortunate enough to have attended Peak Potentials Trainings “Enlightened Warrior Training” Camp, you know what I am referring to. If you haven’t, do everything in your power to make it to one of these camps. It’ll truly transform your life.

During the camp, a series of declarations are repeated daily.

The 3rd of these declarations goes like this….

I AM A WARRIOR….
I DO EVERYTHING AT 100%

Is this true in your life?

Do you do everything at 100%? Do you do ANYTHING at 100%?

To be successful, to become all that you can be, you can’t put a half hearted effort into what you do and expect optimal results. The world just doesn’t work that way.

When you develop the HABIT of doing everything with energy and enthusiasm, you are on your way to transforming yourself into a special individual.

The problem is that virtually no one is living at that level. AND THAT’S THE KEY. That’s why there are so few truly successful people. Success is rare. We all do what everyone else is doing, and we get the same results as everyone else.

I love the quote that my mentor and friend Harv Eker quotes from writer Stuart Wilde….”The key to success is to raise your energy level. And when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. And when they show up, Bill ‘em!”

You will never be truly successful as a half effort kind of person. Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Become a warrior. Develop the HABIT of doing everything at 100%. When you work, you work at 100%. When you play, you play at 100%. When you relax, you relax at 100%.

Your life is an adventure. Don’t settle for average. Go for success in every important area of your life. It’s no harder than living in mediocrity, and it’s a whole lot more fun.

Namaste,

Jeff
