I WOULD BE A SITH

9 Jun

I WOULD BE A SITH

 
So, most people will hate me for this, but hey I’m honest.  I couldn’t be a Jedi.  Denying everything I might ever want.  Ignoring urges, needs, and desires to be broke, technically homeless, and wear snazzy robes?  Nope not for me.  Sorry.  See I like Lamborghinis. Ferraris, Porsches, and M3s oh my!

Back to focus though- first I apologize for the lack of articles.  I had some technically difficulties and had to write on scratch paper until I could get my tech back to perfection.  As I was saying- I would be a Sith. 

The Sith are comparably powerful, self indulgent, and are still masters of their craft.  All things that most people when they are honest will agree that they approve of. 

-No one wakes up denying a lust for success.

Everyone wants to be successful.  To complete goals and dreams gives a sense of success, confidence and poise.  People who build from success to success are guess what?  Extremely successful you see I’ve never met a person who wanted to be third place.  Heck, no one goes to the Olympics for silver!  We all want to be winners.  To triumph where others fail and where few shall venture is the very pinnacle of existence in some cultures and for many many people.  Have you never not wanted more? Pardon the double negative but I write it purposely to convey my point.  When you were little and you played monopoly you wanted to win.  You may have bought the crap properties but you had a strategy that you thought led down the path to victory.  I rest my case.

-Sith chase their desires. 

When you were young, and maybe even in your older age (I digress I’m in my 30s) you wanted things.  To race cars, build a motorcycle, relive the movie easy riders. 
Today many of us have traded freedom for security. What I mean is that we have traded jobs for dreams and mortgages for adventures. Now there’s no problem with growing up- can’t be Peter Pan forever. Yet slaving all day under a boss is surely not the American dream. Take me for example. I want to work, but for myself. I don’t want a boss.
I don’t want a mortgage, unless there is some tax gains to be had.
I don’t want to need a union.
I don’t want the economy to dictate my employability or impede my financial goals.
I do want freedom to do as I please.
I do want time to watch my children grow.
I do want to fire my boss.
I do want to vacation anywhere, at the drop of a dime.
Don’t you?
Isn’t it time to chase dreams?
Can’t work be the same amount of passion and fun as activities you control and build wealth on?

-Sith focus.

Simple point to grasp. What you focus on you will obtain. Focused on fun. You will get it. Focused on girls, you’ll have ten.
Focus dictates your reality. If you are not focused on achieving greatness you will be nothing. Sith focused on achieving power and greatness. Shouldn’t you focus on the same if you want to leave the 9 to 5 grind behind?

-Sith hone their craft.
You want to be wealthy. You will use options or perhaps real estate or an MLM. No matter the path to wealth and freedom you choose you must work at the skills it takes to accomplish it. Flippers need to know variables, comps, tax rules, et al. Options traders must know candle stick charts, timing, and when to get in and out of an option. And in MLM you have to know how to identify your warm market, seize your cold one, and solve problems for people.
In any venture and all ventures you must learn the skills needed. And this is a lifetime process.
Ted williams talked to pitchers to learn their habits. He examined the game. He used the sports casters and news reporters hatred to fuel him. He worked day in and day out at his task and his reward was true baseball greatness.
Work at being great and you will be.

There is nothing wrong with being only partially altruistic when chasing your dreams. But if you focus and give back you will succeed. If you practice daily. You will succeed.

Let desires and wants add fuel to your why to get you to your dream accomplishment.

Are you in the Sales business?

9 Jun

Sorry for the delay in my nightly article. I had technical difficulties. Apologies to my readers.
Back to topic.

Are you in the sales business?
Simple question. Well maybe not.
If your in network marketing, mlm or a few other choice avenues of wealth creation I’d say no. Why you ask?
Simple- your goal should be to invite and or get referrals solely.

Why. You don’t want to chase

You don’t won’t to be in sales mode all day.
What do you want to be:
Be in ABC mode-
Always
Be
Closing.
Simple. Elegant. Easy to execute. When you are recruiting you want to complete the ABC pattern- By being amiable, and by solving problems. When your focus is on them and not on your commission, they will join. They will be success machines and you will have given first and ultimately received as a result.

You don’t like this concept, or your new to the game- deal.
Become a master inviter.
The average venture will supply you with a successful upline, hey that’s why you joined right? And if it doesn’t RUN! So if you were brought into a venture by a mentor or great upline- let them do the work. Tony, isn’t that cheating? Never. You see. What works, works. And most mentors and uplines would rather you defer to their knowledge, abilities, and keen trained eye to seal the deal. Now this isn’t to keep you down but bring you up. Learn the business from their point of view because most of us lose business and motion when we assume we ‘got it.’. Get enough info to invite people to meetings or to get closer to them. And let someone who knows the 1,001 questions answer them from you. In essence- be the bridge to the wealth not the blockade.

Now its crunch time, four seconds on the clock and you need to inbound the ball for a magnanimous three pointer. How do you say? Easy. Be a referral grabbing Machine. Every person you meet whether they join forces with you or not has a warm market of 200 people. So, following an early articles theme- you speak to 5 ppl a day at 7 days you get 35 possibles right?
WRONG.
You get 7,035 potential leads. Now tell me again why you can’t #thrive and not just #survive? Exactly. We #thriveorsurvive.

Quick recap?
-Sell, when you have to.
ABC- Always Be Closing. You are selling when needed but you are closing always! close by being amiable, concise, and don’t beat the dead horse.
-Invite- always!
Always get people to meetings. Always invite them. Always get a phone number and or email. Always be candidly persistent.
-Referrals- bread and butter? Nahhhh.
That’s the steak.
Many people will tell you no- FACT. And they all know people who will beg you to let them say yes. So be respectful, calm, cool and collected. And get a list of emails and numbers (see the pattern?)…
Remember its not hooking the fish, its how you reel it in.

Quote 8 Jun

Given the scale of life in the cosmos, one human life is no more than a tiny blip. Each one of us is a just visitor to this planet, a guest, who will only stay for a limited time. What greater folly could there be than to spend this short time alone, unhappy or in conflict with our companions? Far better, surely, to use our short time here in living a meaningful life, enriched by our sense of connection with others and being of service to them. 

From a mentor,
Thanks RON.

Are you making money yet, The problem with auto-ship, And the millionaire mindset.

6 Jun

Are you making money yet,
The problem with auto-ship,
And the millionaire mindset.

Alrighty people. We have discussed how you get to the top. The process of it and a lot of the little things that make it all come together. And by no means have we covered it all. I’m sure as I #thriveorsurvive so will this blog and as that develops so will those of you who have come along for the ride.

So now let’s deal with 3 problems I’ve had and others do to.

-“Are you making money yet?”
Now if you are in direct marketing, mlm, and so on you have heard this. You’re on fire, you’re taking all the steps your mentor suggested, and then the dreaded question.
“Are you making money yet?” Ouch. Are you? A lot of people aren’t in the first 90 days. A lot are still working to learn material or get ahead. Now I know a lot of people are saying- Not me! I made money asap Tony! And I salute you. You are some of the few. And a dose of reality for my readers: a lot of US have to work at being independently wealthy. And that’s ok. That’s normal. Its actually kind of cool to me. I earn every dollar I do my way.
So next time you get the dreaded question keep that in mind. And as for how you answer- simple.
“I couldn’t actually tell you how much I’ve made yet as I’m in it for the residual income and that means its ongoing.”. See how easy. You DIDN’T lie. You didn’t sell the hype. You told a FACT. The one FACT you and all prospects should be focused on. Because the quick buck is for hustlers. Let the card sharks make the fast money. Let them trim the suckers in pool halls etc. See successful people know that it takes time and effort. Oh, and HARDWORK. To make it to the top you work, and work, and work. Then you blitz! And work some more. And if done right you achieve your dreams and become a success. So don’t lie to prospects. Don’t hype new recruits. Simply tell them what we all need to hear upfront- THE TRUTH. Those who don’t join will refer. And most importantly your reputation will be stellar. And that has infinite value.

-The problem with autoship. So you are hyped! The business of your dreams is in front of you. You signed the paperwork. And now you have to pony up the dough every month for your autoship. Quick recap- autoship is a required purchase in most mlms and or direct marketing ventures. It is monthly and your residual income may be predicated on its purchase.
So with that explained, back to the money. So you are buying your product aka autoship monthly. And at first the excitement makes the autoship irrelevant. But now maybe you find your putting money out monthly and you haven’t made equal if any commissions. You got into this venture for the cashflow, the dinero, the big bucks. And now you feel like why should I buy products when I want to earn money. This seems to be the antithesis. And at last you have found the problem with your venture. So you leave and find the cheaper one. The better one. The closer one. Know what the problem with autoship was? YOU. Ask Warren Buffet, it takes Money to make Money. PERIOD.
If you opened a car wash- you lease land, buy soap, and pay for the water. Oh and you have to pay those pesky employees.
McDonalds- you need a million to get the appointment to be considered and another mil to sign the dotted line. In any and every business you will INVEST money. You will INVEST time. But you are not lining your uplines pockets. You are building your future. Your DREAM.

-Lastly, do you have the Millionaire Mindset?
By this I mean simply are you ready to struggle? Because in business you will have lean times. Every stock goes down.
Do you know that it will be work? You can’t build a house without digging the foundation. It won’t stand. Are you ready for the grunt work that leads to being the general?
Are you going to put in the hours. Its your business. You are the boss yes, and you are also the employee. You will be the receptionist, garbage man, chauffeur, salesman and dog walker. And you will also solely reap the rewards. What YOU put in YOU get out. A millionaire mindset means you don’t treat your business as a hobby that might make you money. The millionaire mindset means WORK. Look at it like this: if you had eight employees. You would share the work with them and delegate right? And you would have to split the profits too. The beauty here is you KEEP 100% of the profits. You work you eat. The millionaire mindset expects success. It expects prominence.
The millionaire mindset knows you have to give; tithes, charity, you name it. But there must be a desire to help others as well. When you help others achieve you invariably receive.

Know YOUR GOAL

5 Jun

Know YOUR GOAL

So I was watching Jay Cutler aka Mr. Olympia at a speaking event. For those of my readers who are like- huh?- Jay is basically the top body builder in the world. People from all over the globe come to compete in the Mr. Olympia. In essence you don’t just walk in and become the champ. You fight and claw your way to the top. And most of your competitors- are former Mr Olympias. Doesn’t it just get better?
I say all this as a preamble.
So let me segway-
Jay was giving a talk, kind of informal and part q&a. And people asked what do you bench?
What do you squat?
Dead-lift?

someone said what do you clear in…..?
And Jay said? I don’t know. I don’t do that. That’s power lifting not bodybuilding.
Said concisely- one is about what you lift one is about what you shape. Power lifters and there bunch are about massive, brute, strength. And they work at it. They put in the hours, no question. But its a different sport. Bodybuilders attain a weight class and size they want. And they don’t just bulk up. They shape it. They even it out. Proportion and mass are balanced. Posing routines are mastered, tans gotten… You get the point.

WHATS YOUR POINT TONY?
Glad you asked.
See Jay didn’t answer. He didn’t get a ‘tude. He pointed out what was His Goal.
He is a body builder not a power lifter. Nuff said. And here in lies the key to today’s lesson: KNOW YOUR GOAL.
Elegant in its simplicity but so powerful.
If you have a goal what is it?
Have you decided?
Is it one goal with a few facets?
Are you trying to build multiple streams of income at once?
If so, brother you might just lose. You see FOCUS. Is the name of the game.
Is your goal- ill be rich. Pretty close. How about my venture will make me rich.
Or I will sign up 8 associates.
I will sell a property a month.
I will save 12 percent of every check I receive.
See the pattern developing?
These are goals. Concise, Focused, you-centric goals.
You-centric. Sounds odd, I know. But think about what it means. Your goal- is YOU specific. See? There’s accountability built into your goal. A dream has now become a goal. A hope is on its path to reality. There’s a specific set of rules to succeed in life. There is no free buffet. Everything has a price.
To be your own boss.
To be independently wealthy.
To be able to live where you want with whom you please and as you please to- all require action. These things require goals,
a plan- a written plan,
A commitment
A belief
And consistency.
Now we have spoke on many of these things and there are more steps and further breakdowns we will discuss as we progress down this road together.
But just as I have committed to this blog you have to commit to ONE, 1, GOAL.
Know this goal. If I asked you at 3am what your goal is would you curse me or have a succinct answer?
And guess what. I don’t expect you will have but one goal. Or even one dream. Life is a series of small victories chained together to create a dynamic, fruitful, epic that will have been a greater ride than the destination. Use THIS Goal as a stepping stone.
Set it. Focus it. Smash it out of the park. Do your end zone dance. And then, rinse and repeat. AKA start the process over. The first goal met will fuel you to rise past the next 5 and so forth.
Questions?
Thoughts or concerns?
Need help focusing your goal?
Looking for a part time venture to expand your horizons?
Itching to fire the boss?
Or just want to chat?
