What Is Your Destiny?

What is stopping you from having the life you want right now?

Every little decision, every value you picked up, every belief you formed - they have all, piece by piece, shaped the life you shaped the life you now lead.



What if you could make different choices?
What if you could change your values?
What if you could get rid of limiting beliefs and create new empowering beliefs?
If you could wave a magic wand, what would your life look like, who would you be, what would you do, what would you have and what would you give?

Make the decision now that your life will never be the same again.

To Train, Or Not To Train Too?

In the previous post we asked if attending trainings and seminars is worth it.

If that's you, did you first determine WHAT DO YOU WANT?

And then after that, did you determine specifically the exact training with the right person who would give you “the thing” you needed to move forward?

No one knows everything. That is why it is so important to always be learning from others who can teach us that which we want to do.

LEARNING IS GROWING

You can be the most talented person in the world, but if you stop learning, your days on top are numbered.

What type of training should you spend your time and money on?

ALL learning is good, but when it comes to creating rapid results, you must determine if you require SKILLS training, or HABIT & MINDSET training

Here’s how to figure out what training to do next.

Spend some quiet time, meditating, mind mapping, journaling, or whatever works best for you, and seriously ask yourself:

How do you want to BE in the world?
What do you want to create and DO in the world?
What do you want to HAVE as a result?
Why?

Then, you’ll notice a GAP from where you are now, to where you want to be.

Now ask yourself, what is going to rapidly close this gap?

What do you need to learn to take you to where you want to be?

Doing the training we actually need is what gets us over our fears.

Last year I overcame a serious fear of my own, by attending a Sales Training. It was a ridiculous and limiting fear. Yet attending the training I realized that sales is just a process using techniques that I already knew, in a specific order. What was there to be afraid of?!

Whether it's Skills or Mindset and Habit training you choose to learn next, make sure you make it a part of your success PLAN. What do you want? And what do you need to step into what you ultimately desire?

If your goal is to become a millionaire, will QuickBooks training get you there? (Hint - no)

Don't just sign up for another training because you got caught up in the moment, and the presenter gave you a sob story, or had you waving your credit card in the air and running to the back of the room for a free prize. Make sure it is specific to your goal and that it will help you close the gap.

You must become intentional about the education you choose to take, and from whom. This will save you time and money, and get you there faster.

To Train, Or Not To Train?

Often I speak with people who tell me something like, “I’ve done all these trainings and gone to all these seminars, and all I feel now is lost, and that I’ve wasted so much money.”

Have you felt like this?

Unfortunately this is all too common. Only about 1 in 20 people will actually do anything with what they learned at a training or a seminar, and only about 1 in 100 will be really successful as a result of the trainings. That is a harsh reality.

Many years ago, when I was doing network marketing, they told me those figures, that I would need to put 20 people into my business before I found one spark, and 100 people into my business before I found someone who would work as hard as I did in the business.

I didn't believe them. I thought that the opportunity was there, the system was there, all you had to do was have a goal, and work the system.

I was right, and so were they.

I had a goal - to achieve a new level every quarter, and I worked the system. They said 'show the plan' and 'demonstrate the products'.  And that's what I did. Almost every night I was out showing the plan on a whiteboard or a piece of paper, or I was covering my hands in boot polish and getting them clean with the products. Then I would go home, shower, wash my only 'business' shirt while I was in the shower, and hang it up to dry ready for the next night.

Pretty soon I was standing up in front of groups of people getting my awards. In front of people who were older than me, more experienced than me, wealthier than me, better looking than me, had better cars than me. But I was shooting past them in the business.

I asked myself why? The answer was simple. They weren't doing the do. They weren't persisting.

Soon I had 20 people in my group, and I found one 'goer'. Then there was a hundred, and I found another 'me'. Then there were 300, and there were three people working the business just as hard as I was. the numbers work.

How do you tip the odds in your favor?

Be the person who has a goal and persists.
Do what the others aren't willing to do.
Then you can Have what they can't.

We'll explore training further tomorrow,

(Oh, btw, I'm no longer in network marketing, so I'm not going to ask you to come to a meeting!)

10 Steps to Successful Goal Setting - Part 9 - Overcome

10 Steps to Successful Goal Setting - Part 9

What am I going to need to do to overcome these obstacles?

Who will you have to become? 

What kind of character traits will you have to develop?

Handle the problems earlier, ahead of time, then you will be more confident about succeeding.

Imagine when you had those character traits in the past.

Or imagine what it would be like to have them.

Then imagine approaching your goal with this new attitude.

Make a list of all the resources that you have. Just like packing all the things you need for a camping holiday.

e.g. Friends, skills, character traits, education, finances, time, health, where you live, telephone, transport, internet. Everything! Notice how you have more than you thought.
