Knowing Your Why

When I hear people say “I’m skeptical” or “What kind of proof of success does this program have?”, I usually reply with “When are you going to get some guts? When are you going to take responsibility for your own success?!”. In other words, you can’t get true belief in a business opportunity if you don’t see results or when you are skeptical (all based on fear), but you won’t see results that way if you don’t take enough action! Hence,  a terrible repeated circle or self-fulfilling prophecy results. Tony Robbins lays this out in a highly recommended video recently circulated blog video interview with Frank Kern and John Reese. Success or personal achievement comes down to your CERTAINTY of it happening long before it does. We all start with the same amount of potential (limitless frankly), but it is primarily our own lack of belief in ourselves that determines the level of action and hence the results we’ll see. Ultimately those results (or lack of results) drives our beliefs by reinforcing the assumption about yourself in the first place. The more results you see will drive your beliefs which increases their potential which increases their action which will drive their results (this is why the rich get richer and the poor get poorer). However, while saying all this is one thing, but most of us need to learn CONDITIONING to teach our brains what really is our potential. In the end, being clear on what your WHY’s are is critical to driving your certainty. Don’t just say I want a fancy car or a bigger house, think about what that really means and the why’s behind those needs. Condition your brain to see the success as “a done deal”, and that CERTAINTY will drive your efforts and results.

Social Media Savvy

With the explosion of social media and Web 2.0 sites and their popularity, many marketers and networkers have jumped on the bandwagon and are actively promoting their opportunities and products there. However, this blog post is to serve a polite but firm reminder to those to remember the principles behind attraction marketing and the etiquette required to make social media “work”. Sadly, we have become an entitlement and instant gratification society, and as a result perhaps many “marketers” feel obliged to immediately vomit their opportunity links, hard sell video embeds, webinar invites, or even blatant sales pitches on other people’s Facebook, Twitter, or My Space profiles. Whatever happened to the SOCIAL aspect of social media?! In other words, instead take 30 seconds to read my profile, read my recent posts, or check out my own links, and then ask me APPROPRIATE and INFORMED questions about my life and/or business. That way, you are more likely to get a polite response from me instead of an immediate delete keystroke of your spam of MY page! Then perhaps later and if it seems fitting, you can send me information on your program or training. Stop drooling over the prospect of “an avalanche of traffic” simply by posting your links on my pages when you see that I have 4000+ Facebook friends or 12,000+ Twitter followers (or better yet, do the work involved to create your own following)! In the end, just be real and genuine, and that way you will most likely get my attention and assistance.
