The carpenter I hired to help me restore an old farmhouse had just finished a rough first day on the job. A flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw quit, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.

“Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied.” I know I can’t help having troubles on the job, but one thing’s for sure, troubles don’t belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again.”

He paused. “Funny thing is,” he smiled, “when I come out in the morning to pick ‘em up, there ain’t nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.”

Enjoy the rest of your day!

This is one of the biggest reasons people don’t ever get out of that dead end job or move on to become a successful entrepreneur.

Its kinda funny because my wife was one of the victims of the middle class mindset when I first met her.  Now she is doing videos on the subject!  Its awesome how people can transform their way of thinking if they just decide to hang around successful people instead of people that will drag the life out of you.

I never like to read anything before I became an entrepreneur and a good mentor of mine told me that not all readers are leaders but all great leaders are readers!  So I decided to devote time to reading daily good books and work on building myself up every day.  I suggest you also start reading good books to help you get past the challenges you may face in life.  Remember all it can take is a few negative people to drag you down and make you quit and give up on your dreams.  Don’t let that happen to you!

Hey my friends! I just wanted to ask a simple question today. Do people listen to you? Or do you have a hard time getting people to do anything?

I wanted to ask this because the answer to this question will determine your success rate in business or as an entrepreneur in general. I was talking with a buddy of mine who is in a network marketing company and he had on average out of 30 people he would invite to a home business overview only 10 of them show up and 1 or 2 of them join his business. Then one day he recruited his Karate teacher. This guy invited 20 people to a home meeting, 19 people showed up, and all 19 joined the business. Hmmm, so what is the different between these 2 people. 1 had 30% of the people show up and less then 10% join him and the other had 95% of the people show up and join him.

The answer is Influence! Another word for this could be Credibility. If you are having trouble right now in your business you may lack this most important fundamental. It’s ok though because this is something you can fix if you are willing to work on yourself daily and grow as a person. If you are the person struggling to have people listen to you then I would highly suggest you go read or re-read the book called “How To Win Friends & Influence People” by Dale Carnegie.

Go read the book again, this time really take it to heart so that you can become a better entrepreneur!

Hope this helps someone!

People are programmed for progress and improvement. There seems to be a natural longing to be better, do more and accomplish much. Even during historical periods where thinking was stymied, controlled or shutdown, some individuals simply could not be silenced or stilled. In 1820 the United States government even went so far as to closed the patent office issuing the statement that everything that can be invented had been invented, therefore the office was no longer needed! Imagine if everyone had listened to that statement rather than continuing to respond to their inner wisdom which continued to declare, “More is possible.”

Your inner wisdom, providing insight, ideas and inspiration truly is like any other muscle or ability in your body – in that you must use it or lose it. You see those who have either given up on life, or given up on themselves, the unhappy who have decided to merely play out the string, submitting to mediocrity and just surviving day to day have stopped responding to their inner wisdom. In truth, happiness ends when you stop listening to your inner wisdom.

Many have suggested having a pen and paper or recording device next to your bed or nightstand so when your inner wisdom flashes its brilliance or bestows strokes of inspiration you will be able to capture them. Capturing is important, but it is not enough – in order to strengthen your inner wisdom you must act on it!

Nothing is more important to your long-term success and happiness, success and satisfaction than you ability to tap into, leverage and deploy your inner wisdom. It is rarely discussed in school, never taught in business and yet it holds the keys for innovation, excellence and high achievement.

How in tune are you with your inner wisdom? When was the last time you recognized it? More importantly, when was the last time you followed it? Inner wisdom is another reason to slow down and disconnect from the fast-paced world we live in. Scheduling quiet time should be a priority for everyone at every stage of life and season of business or place on their career path. Your inner wisdom rarely comes at you with flashing lights, blaring trumpets or crashing cymbals – rather it comes quietly, in silent moments of contemplation and reflection.

Take time this weekend to listen to your inner wisdom – strengthen that muscle and the rest of your success will increase!

What is the automatic income reducer? Why is it so detrimental to your success by using this more then you are learning.

Well, the dreaded Automatic Income Reducer is your TV! People watch it on a daily basis. Some people are so hooked to it they will miss training webinars or things that will potentially make them more money, give them more freedom and honestly give them the amount of money they would need to afford a complete Home Theater system a year from now!

So here is the formula you have to stick to (Advice coming from a Multi-Million Dollar Earner)

Take every TV in your house, times that by the amount of inches of the TVs and that will give you the number of books, cd’s, personal development tapes you should have in your library.

TV’s x “inches” = (Book Libray)

If you don’t have at least that amount of personal development books in your house right now then guess what? You either have to go start buying a bigger library (that you will actually read) to match or get rid of some tv’s.

This can be explained a different way as well called your EVE Ratio. To find out more about What the EVE ratio is Click Here and then click on the TAB called Your EVE Ratio.

Well my friends, I hope this was educational for you. Remember to work harder on yourself then you do your job and you will consistently grow and make more money!

ps – Let me know what your TV to Book Ratio is below!

It is true that most of the great things which are accomplished each and every day, all around the world, are done by people who don’t feel well, are struggling and would just as soon be home in bed.  Doing your best when you don’t feel your best shows true heart, true commitment and true dedication.

We live in a time when multi-million dollar earning athletes refuse to play in a game or match because they have a hang-nail, executives miss meetings because of a little tickle in their throat and employees miss days of work because they are a little burned-out.  Many don’t even commit to giving their full effort all the way through the week, as they start to whine and complain by Wednesday, begin tossing excuses for lack of effort on Thursday and by Friday morning they have checked out for the weekend because they just don’t have anything left to give.

On the other hand, there are those who continually give their all, day in and day out, regardless of energy, injuring or discomfort.  Some seem programmed to push through.  Alistaire Cooke, the beloved British broadcaster, ran his show without missing a day from 1946 through 2004.  Surely there were some days where taking a pass, or hiring a substitute was an option.  He chose instead to be there and work regardless of how he felt.  We remember great athletes, musicians, scientists and even the not so famous railway workers, custodians, teachers and nurses who simply chose to show up, every day for years and years in order that they might perform their best work for others.

Doing your best when you don’t feel your best, extends into your personal life as well.  How often do you decide not to do something for a spouse, loved one, neighbor or friend just because you felt a little tired or run-down?

One leader came home one afternoon and told his wife he felt a little sick and thought he would cancel his meeting with a neighbor, who was struggling financially, that he was trying to help.  Her reply to his call for validation of his excuse to cancel the meeting was simple, “Then go sick.”  He did, and a difference was made.

Are you showing up, or even getting up each morning, with a pocket full of excuses as to why you might not accomplish your goals, make a difference or achieve something important?  Everyone faces times and even seasons when they do not feel like working, serving or striving.  Those who have the internal commitment and fortitude to keep going are those who will achieve the most and leave the greatest legacy.

When you can produce your best work when you don’t feel your best you will know you have entered a higher level of peak performance and personal excellence.

Make it a great day!

There are a lot of people looking for ways to help them with personal and professional development. Everyone has some way that they need to improve personally and professionally in their life. Each person will use different ways to help them develop better in their own way.

It doesn’t matter what way you use for development, whether it is eBooks, books, video, audio and so on. The important thing is that you do develop personally and professionally in order to achieve a better life. Life is always hard, no matter how old you are or who you are.

Being able to improve yourself in different ways will make anyone’s life much better and maybe even a little easier. Everyone is always talking about how your personal attitude and development are a really big deal to how your life is going.

This is true, but many people choose to ignore it. Instead of taking the time for developing personally and professionally, they choose to live their life the way it is now. The way you live your life is your own personal choice, but developing as a person will definitely make a major difference in your life.

Personal and professional development is the keys to leading a successful life. This means success in your personal life and success in your business or career. Anyone that wants a better life, definitely needs to take time to develop more as personally and professionally. Without it, you will always struggle to get anywhere or struggle to improve your life.
