Pareto’s Principle 20/80 Rule Agree? Disagree! More like 10/90! Why? Luckier, better contacts, who they know, etc? WRONG!
#1: GOALS With TWO IMPORTANT FACTORS 1.  You can’t hit a target if you can’t see it! 2 .  Target/Goal must be  CLEAR, CONCISE  and with a  firm date  of accomplishment. NOT JUST…….. “ I want to be RICH”, “ I want to make a lot of money”  “ I want to own my own business” WHAT EXACTLY do you WANT, HOW are you going to achieve it  and WHEN!!!
#2: DESIRE You have got to  WANT “IT” ! “ It”  motivates you morning, noon and night. What is YOUR  “IT”? Desire can be coaxed  and fed but  cannot be taught ..….must come from within.
#3: TALENT Must be  GREAT  at what you do! SPECIALIZE, SPECIALIZE, SPECIALIZE!!! FORGET trying to be “All Things to All People” Gates, Dell, etc.
# 4: PERSERVERANCE Never, ever, ever, ever GIVE-UP! Success  ALWAYS comes with a price . Find that price, and VOW TO PAY IT IN FULL! Howard Hughes “ Obstacles are merely speed bumps on the highway to achievement”.  Mark McClure TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION…..PROCRASTINATION IS THE #1 KILLER OF DREAMS Remember Edwin Barnes
The  first step  to moving into the Top 10% and  ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING? THINKING  like the Top 10%   BELIEVING  like the Top 10% Lance Armstrong/Michael Jordan/Bill Gates ALL possessed the  Four Corners   (Foundation ) ALL possessed a powerful  BELIEF SYSTEM (Cement)
Re-Establishing  Your  Belief System THE CEMENT GOALS DESIRE PERSEVERENCE TALENT
CORNER # 1 CREATING YOUR  GOALS
Step #2:  The Grass  is NOT  Greener MLM industry  loves  this “solution”. Success as an entrepreneur is based on YOU and YOUR service, not your companies;  TAKE RESONSIBILITY! Take a day or two: Look within….…WHERE is the  TRUE problem ? Why am NOT hitting my goals? Making big money? Colleagues/boss? Money/commissions? Marketing support? Product/Service?
POSITIVE  SOLUTIONS for  NEGATIVE  THOUGHTS Colleagues?     “ Boss”?   Commissions/Pay?   Its YOUR company
Sit down and plan like the CEO of your NEW company CREATE A CHECKLIST Who  are your competitors? What are  THEIR strengths  and why? Go on a sales call  and find out!!!!!!!!!!! Where are  THEIR weaknesses? What are  YOUR strengths? How you can you  capitalize  on these? What are  YOUR weaknesses? How can you eliminate or strengthen them? Formulate a plan that focuses on these 4 Points  Remake yourself as  IRREPLACEABLE
CORNER # 2 CREATING THE  DESIRE  FROM WITHIN and establishing your  BELIEF SYSTEM
Establishing your Belief  (DESIRE)  System and  the  Four Pitfalls  to Avoid Negative Thought Repetition:  F.E.A.R. Excuse Patterns:  Economy, Partner, etc Your Environment:  Colleagues, “friends”, etc.   The above creates a  polluted belief system ,  fed by garbage, fed by lies, and the mind begins to accept it as reality in the presence  of these “facts”.
  Preparing   the Mind MENTAL  NUTRITION Time to  Unleash the Subconscious     Your mind will believe  ANYTHING it is told , as long as it is told with  conviction . Begin Feeding it  Positive Nutrition Human “Mind” Nutrition?   Auditory and Visual Affirmations Dominate the MIND with Positive emotions.
DESIRE  IS WORTH NOTHING UNTIL IT IS BACKED BY PHYSICAL ACTION!
CORNER # 3 The Power of  Perseverance
The Power of Perseverance The Three Ingredients for Failure? 1.  FEAR  ( F alse  E vidence  A ppearing  R eal) Feeding the Subconscious garbage Believing it to be true 2.  Lack of Perseverance Giving up at the FIRST sign of obstruction 3.  Poor Mental Environment
Enhancing  Your Environment What makes a person poor? An alcoholic drink? A criminal steal? An entrepreneur continue in mediocrity? 1. Negative Mental Nutrients : Feeding your mind garbage. 2 .  Negative Environment:  Listening to negative feedback. Controlling  Your Environment Ask yourself: Who do I socialize with? What type of reinforcement do they give me? How effective, it at all, are they towards my goal’s.
My FIVE  Step Approach 1.   Make your decisions  quickly , make any changes  SLOWLY.  HAVE FAITH! 2.   Nothing is cheaper then “Opinions”……stick to  your decisions  and avoid the “opinions” of others.  3.   Disassociate yourself from failure.  “Mediocrity LOVES company, but is that company you REALLY want to keep.”   Mark McClure 4.   Keep your Goal(s) to yourself. Tell the world what you intend to do ONCE you have achieved it. 5.   IMMEDIATELY begin to surround yourself with like minded people.

Editor's Notes

  • #7 Creating Thought process is next
  • #10 Rodney Anderson, others
  • #14 Repetition of negative thoughts backed by faith: ”Alcoholic” Excuses fuel failure (poverty example), they create their own “misfortunes” or “abberations” Blame: White/Black/Politicians Tell yourself something enuff, we will believe it…..even lies. Combine these thoughts with emotion/action becomes unstoppable. This has built poverty, wealth, religion, wars, etc. Your BELIEF, must be backed by PLAN and a FINAL DECISION to carry that plan through with a DESIRE that is white hot. Steve Jobs idea (a personal computer in every household) was worth more then a $2 billion to him. Bill Gates idea backed by Belief, Plan, Decision and Desire has been worth more then $50 Billion to him. Your ONLY limitations of wealth and success are the ones you THINK of.
