NSI (Never Stop Improving)

30 Sep

So many of you noticed I haven’t posted for a few days. And many also noticed that my last article wasn’t finance or entrepreneurial based. Heck it had no place in this blog by most standards. However it was a step, a big step actually. You see I wrote that article for a separate site. And my reasons were threefold.

-To express myself.
-To hone my craft.
-To make a modest or marvelous writing career materialize.
Ill break it down real quick.

-To express myself.
I’m sure my mother would say I always wanted to talk lol. She tells stories of me being young and talking to anyone and everyone. From being on the train coming from brooklyn @ 2 years old talking to drunks, to speaking with prostitutes and anyone who would listen- I’ve always spoke. And about as far back as I can remember writing I remember being a poet as well. Now as time has progressed so has my skill and subject matter. Far from being a master, I’m simply a novice who knows such. I’m barely trained in the classical sense but find that to be a trivial if not irrelevant matter. In the day and age of computers and the advent of blogging I find that will to create and share in an honest fashion will triumph.

That being said, I just say what I want. I always wanted to be an entrepreneur and sold stickers in elementary school. So naturally my first blog was focused on success and entrepreneurial growth. And now my extra efforts are being set aside to focus on my other loves and perhaps a good bit of exposure.

-To hone my craft.
To do anything is to do it well or you’re wasting time. I write because it pleases me. And as I grow older I’ve also decided to write for gain. If not cash gain at least respect. I’ve decided that I won’t do anything unless I do it all right. There is a fine line between just putting out words and speaking truth with a masters touch. Now I’m not a master but I look forward simply towards its journey.

-To make a modest or marvelous writing career materialize.
As long as I’ve been able to write I’ve written for more than school. Poetry, rap lyrics, papers that weren’t required. It never mattered. I’ve written and written. And as an adult I’ve realized I want it to be a career. I may not win a pulitzer etc etc- but I will follow through on my dream. This month and the next I have features and columns coming out in 3 different venues not my own. I’m also doing much of this for free. Why you ask? Simply for the love of my craft. I will write until I’m dead and that being so I will attempt to make a career of it. Nothing in this life is good unless you make it such. And so I shall.

Positivity and Resolve

23 Sep

Positivity and Resolve

There a are a million strategies and as many gurus to teach you how to be the best you.
We even have the new breed that say do you, f the people; these three steps…
Shameful isn’t it? Everyone wants cash for a few nuggets of advice that may or may not help target markets reach the pinnacle. Its all about the quick sales and cheap thrills. How fast can I hook you?
How quick will you order?
See they know that once you get sucked in by hype or legit goods you won’t want that money back. Even if you want a refund either pride will stop you or you will miss the deadline. You know that small script that tells you how little time you have and the services fees if you do return…

Well my friends I’ve got free and easy for you. And if that ain’t good enough there will be more where that came from!

Only two things are needed to get going and keep going.

-A Positive Mindset.
Mind set dictates results as much as surrounds if not more so. In life we have few choices we can’t control or influence. Get to the point: you are in charge. You dictate actions and outcome. What else needs to be said? Life is a stage a screen, and on it you can paint dreams or nightmares. The path you take is a result of your mind set. In your mind paint dynamic prose and superior visions. This one action will make you superior. What you believe you are you will be. Nuff said.

-The Resolve to Finish what you start
Fron Dictionary.com:
resolve[ ri-zolv ]
verb (used with object)
1. to come to a definite or earnest decision about; determine (to do something): I have resolved that I shall live to the full.
Yup that’s it. Nothing else to it. Resolve makes it happen. Scared money don’t make no money- as my peoples say. Pardon the double negative but its so simple I’ll leave it as is.
Resolve is more than a mind set, its more than a moment.
Resolve is follow thru, it is belief. Its the mission, the answer, the outcome the everything. I’m sorry but I don’t think anything is achieved without resolve. Everyone starts something- few follow through.
Life requires a mind set that has the resolve to beat the odds. True resolve tells you to take Normandy.
True resolve tells you that you are the end all be all. No challengers. And even the few who do face harsh consequences. That’s resolve. You make moves and commit beyond failure until conquests are actionable during sleep!
There is nothing else to add there.
Let your resolve move you beyond destiny or it doesn’t exist!

Don’t Reinvent The Wheel.

22 Jul

Today’s article is going to be random in its cohesiveness but bear with me- it will be cogent by its end.

-What is your mindset?
What is it that you have told yourself you will do? What path have you created for yourself to follow? You see the mind will do what you tell it. And if you supply your mid with a simple concept, a seed idea- it will do the rest. We as entrepreneurs have to learn to keep to the basics. Merely getting the idea in your mind so it is deeply rooted and doing this three to five times a day will cause a tremendous mindset shift. This shift will move you from dreaming about success and wealth to having a wealth of success.

-Are you consistent in your actions? (Not just your speech)
This is a key concept a lot of people gloss over or outright ignore while paying lip service to the concept. Everyday we must do it all. WE must achieve. And the greatest step after mindset creation is consistency. By consistently acting in a manner that exudes business people will come for the ride. When people see that you are the same day in and day out. They will want to be with you. When they know that your actions speak louder than your words, and that the two match- then you will have true success. And I am not speaking of a few quick sales, or some opt-ins for a few weeks. No. I’m talking repetitive sales.
Repetitive growth.
Residual income.
Success.

-Don’t reinvent the wheel.
A lot of times the path before us is ready and right in front of us. If you have joined a team
And the leader/organizer has a blueprint for success- do it their way. Now I know from experience that not all uplines are created equal. And I know that some have no clue what’s going on in today’s marketing world. In fact they may even be half wrong.
But are they producing?
You joined right so it must work. Sorry to say it so crass but its that simple folks.
A mentor in a venture I left consistently does close to a quarter million dollars a year.
For about twenty years.
Recap:
$250,000.00 a year for 20 years.
Total:
Five million dollars aka $5,000,000.00.
His son does a million a year.
I’ll stop the dog and pony show now. Yet if we look at his results and the results of his son we see that the system works when you work it. I made a good profit before I left.
And it was simply from doing what he said. He said hit the ground running.
Act with urgency.
Make lists.
Do self improvement.
And I did everything he said. And it worked. Quickly too. And the only things I did were what he suggested. Heck!, I skipped a few steps thinking I was smart and still made money. Let’s imagine if I had not reinvented the wheel and just followed through one hundred percent…

-Follow through.
That’s it. No long diatribe. No fancy speech. Follow through. In golf it may define your swing. In love it is its definition. In life it is everything. When you don’t finish what you start you are almost worthless. Its equivalent to quitting. And if that’s you- quit the race.
And if its not- you will succeed.
And if it is and you want to change it- I’m here. Let’s win together.
I’ll show you a few tools and some cool concepts- most of which you can implement free. Let’s do it folks.

Its not the car its the driver.

21 Jul

Its not the car its the driver.

True story: I once raced an Audi A8 in an 86 camry- the 4 cylinder at that. And I won.
I know most of you are laughing or logging off your laptops and ipads in sheer disgust at such a boast but let me tell my story.
So its the last light before the west side highway and the guy next to me in the A8 was sneering at my hoopti (low cost, no frills car). So I tapped the gas petal perhaps too aggressively and he replied in kind. When the light went green he was gone. Off the line he left me looking limp with no cialis in sight. However about a half mile up when the traffic thickened I not only caught up but passed him. At this leg of the race he was outclassed in two ways. My car was a good deal smaller so I could get in and out of tight spots easier. Also I was a little younger and my nature a bit more zealous so I risked a little more than he did. I weaved in and out of traffic like a mad man. And by the time we exited for the Deegan he was behind me.
I will add that he had more to lose by driving more aggressively as his car was six figures and mine was three. However in this instance it can also be said that he was shown up by a hoopti while driving performance unleashed.

The moral of my story?
Its not your business that will hold you back. It is only you who can do that. I don’t care what venture, product, or concept you are involved with. When you don’t do what is needed you will always lose. Sales and recruiting are arenas of focus.
Are you focused?
If you aren’t focused you could give away gold and still go home with the exact amount of units you left your home with.
Do you go the extra mile?
Giving your team that little extra push, those few minutes of your day exactly when needed will fuel your results. Remember winners do more to get more.
Are you risking all you’ve got to get where you want to be?
Nothing is gained when nothing is risked. If you don’t put in the hours, the dollars and risk the rejection you won’t succeed. Bruce Jenner had to work harder to get his gold medal. And his failures were public! And so were his victories. Think about that.

These are simple questions folks. What are your answers.
In everything you do in life from love to sales, to brushing your teeth you only get what you put in. A better toothbrush isn’t the key to cleaner teeth. Brushing three to four times a day for the prescribed amount of time is the key. Same in love. Same in business. The keys are simply. Its in the application that success will be found.

Mondays!!!!

3 Jul

So this didn’t post because the attached media is unrecognized-but the theme is the loathing people have of Mondays- However perception still trumps all.

You see I like Mondays. I like getting into the groove at work. Perception and mindset can dictate success or failure so its important we start the day on the right page. If you think Monday dictates torture you will awake to that feeling.
You will have a persistent fear of a day that is guaranteed similar if not easier than the four that will follow it.
My opinion is you have five days to be excellent- So why let any ONE day be less than a stellar example of the greatness that lies within you…

Mondays are the beginning of a new week so if you hate your job, no biggie. You owe it to yourself to excel at it anyway. The way I see it is anything you do should get 110% no matter what. Why? Why would you give less than your best? And I know you aren’t supposed to answer a question with a question but it seemed perfect in this situation. (Apologies to the literary geniuses. ). You see I find no value in doing less than I can. Everyday I’m excited to simply exist. And yet I still aim to thrive not simply survive-(get the hint?). In life your only competition is you so aim for the gold.

Another reason to give 110% is people are watching. Always. People are curious to see how you do. Especially if you have pitched them a venture or product. Your vitamin biz gives you pep, but you slack?!- fail.
Your new venture gives you financial freedom but you sag in your office chair looking distressed and over-drafting simultaneously- fail.
These aren’t the marks of success.
People won’t perceive the winner within if you hide him behind Mediocrity.
Did you catch that? Its crucial folks.
We all have greatness in us. Its an innate characteristic. But you have to cultivate it and or simply let it loose. Arnold Schwarzenegger had to fight to be Mr Olympia and do so repeatedly. And we know how his life has turned out right?
Napoleon had to cultivate his courage. And we see his chain of victories.
What they did and what we all must do is cast mediocrity and fear aside and be the best. When we do all the people waiting on the sidelines will not just consider joining but will come in droves and bring teams upon teams. People want to be inspired. They want to be led.
So don’t let a case of the ‘Mondays way lay you on the road to victory. Be the leader you were born to be. Give it your all. You won’t fail. I guarantee that. However, if you did- don’t you want to go down swinging?

Tell yourself YOUR TRUTH, not the TRUTH.

11 Jun

Tell yourself YOUR TRUTH, not the TRUTH.

People will never tell you how great you are. Ok so it sounds like a pessimistic start but bear with me.
In life you may be the champ and never be acknowledged as so- FACT. But that’s irrelevant. If you are aiming high solely for the accolades you are only going to be the stepping stone that others step on to get to the top. That being said today we will focus on creating your own truth.

-Create your own truth. Daily.
You are the BEST. FACT. Always believe that. Create your own truth daily. Now first you should create a basic truth. If you box- I’m better than Ali.
If you sell- I’m the number one sales agent in North America.
If you recruit- I recruit more people than Noah did animals for his ark!
Get the drift? You must first create a truth of greatness in order to be the Greatest. Sounds simple but this small step has proven quite elusive for many people.
So first establish that you are the greatest. Second daily affirm that truth with a sub-truth. This can be as simple as I will smile more than anyone today. Or I will get 5 new names and email addresses. Simple right?
Remember do it daily and success is a given.

-Believe this truth even when it isn’t.
Simple fact is you won’t always feel Great.
You have to believe you are great before every victory and every defeat. People will not always believe in you but you must believe in your greatness even when you are not. Jay Cutler aka Mr. Olympia tore his bicep, and he will compete again. He lost a Mr. Olympia only to reclaim the crown. Another great is Muhammad Ali who lost his belt only to reclaim it. No one thought he would. And he DID. You see it isn’t always going to seem the truth, your greatness that is. Yet you must dig into your inner being and even after you have failed 99 times you stand again and re-embark on the journey to greatness.

-Repeat this truth.
Repeating affirmations and other confidence boosters becomes more than cool words. This simple exercise will over time lead to you convincing yourself that it is truth. An once this truth becomes self evident true growth and astounding results will occur rapidly.
Now that you have the conviction. You have to use it. Any new skill unused is useless. We don’t grow to not achieve. We grow to gain. And as we gain knowledge, wealth, power, or compassion we are required to give of these things to better ourselves and others until the victory is magnified.
Believe you are great and you will be great.
