The Root of Your Success is YOU
Now this is the interesting thing, about a year and a half after that, I looked at my bank account and I was just about broke again. Right back to where I had started, all the money was gone.


Now this is the interesting thing, about a year and a half after that, I looked at my bank account and I was just about broke again. Right back to where I had started, all the money was gone.
All of a sudden I look at these numbers and say, “Oh my gosh! Look at this, the same way you have a 'set point' when it comes to your weight, you have a set point when it comes to your money and this is mine!”
The answer is that your original programming determines the bin, let's say your mind files, that you can choose from in order to think.
The reason you think the thoughts you think is because that is all that is in your file cabinet. And the reason most people think the same thoughts every day is that those are their 'favorite' files. They just go to those front files, they're easy to access. That's how it works.
And unless you change the setting of that thermostat you are doomed to stay pretty close to the same level you are at financially right now for the rest of your life! This is the critical element. This is the root cause right here.
So if you want to know what your money blueprint looks like look at your results, that tells you really quickly in every part of your money.
And here's the real issue, when you argue with somebody or have a difference of opinion about something like money, which is usually the case, you're not arguing about money. The two of you aren't really even arguing... the two blueprints, the two financial thermostats, the two programs are arguing. The two programs are conflicting.
She's not spending my money, she's spending my freedom. And he's not stopping her from spending money, he's stopping her from enjoying her life. This is critical!
If you negate something you can never have it.
Your style could also be a broke style. Here's my highest recommendation, copy, model, go under somebody's wing. Allow yourself to be an apprentice. Allow yourself to be taught at the highest level they can. Do exactly what they say. Do not veer from it... until one day. One day you're allowed to do it your way. You know what day that is? The day you get rich!
Because comfortable is the opposite of growth. And if you want to have more of anything, especially MONEY and SUCCESS, you need to grow, not be comfortable.
Rich people's intention is abundance and wealth. And poor people want to just have enough to survive and pay the bills and earn a decent living, or again, just be comfortable. And that's a problem. Intention is critical and powerful. Whatever your intention is you cannot get past that. So that's exactly what you're going to get.
You need to play the money game, play the business game to WIN! It's a lot more fun and a lot more exciting and you're a lot more exciting to be around.
Write this down in capital letters – SELL. Now cross that word out and replace it with the word HELP. Rich and successful people focus on helping people. Unsuccessful people focus on selling and product.
If you're out there to sell people stuff you will be broke! But if you're out there to help people out then you're coming from a different place. There is not a lot of pressure and there is not a lot of rejection.
The fact is that network marketing is one of the only and certainly the biggest opportunity on the planet right now specifically because of the economy.
Now let's talk about net work marketing. You have to open up your mouth and tell somebody something about what you use and enjoy, even love. And pretty much everything else is done for you. How hard is that?? Are you kidding me? Network Marketing is done for you!
- Lifestyle. You can live a little nicer life when you have money.
- Contribution. I believe it's your duty, your dharma, to get rich so you can contribute to those who will never have the wherewithal. And in North America we have the wherewithal. I believe there are no accidents. Everyone getting this ebook and everyone listening to or reading this conversation would not be here if they weren't supposed to hear this. So I know you have the wherewithal. There are places where you really wouldn't have the wherewithal. Somalia comes to mind. The question is what can we do about it? You can do something about it. It takes money in this world to really help someone in a physical way. Once you have plenty for yourself you can give it away.
- For who you will become. In character, virtue, strength of mindset and attitude. In order to be successful enough at anything, you have to be a bigger, better, stronger person. To get rich and successful you have to be bigger better and stronger than you do to be broke and moderate. Rich and successful people are bigger than their problems. Unsuccessful people are smaller than their problems.
What are you really like when it gets hard? When it gets tough, what are you really like?
Successful people dig deep. Successful people do whatever it takes.
You see you are the root of your success, mediocrity or struggle. It's you! Everything else is window dressing.
You commit! You do whatever it takes to succeed right now, right wherever you are right now.
The reality is that everybody who becomes rich uses leverage. Leverage means doing more with less.
But here's the thing, if you can build yourself an organization where every day you spend your time BUILDING your organization and training people to train people to train people instead of selling products you're going to be rich.
If you don't train them to train then what's going to happen? You're going to train them to do... and then they'll become doers. They won't train anybody and your downline will stop right there. You have to train them to train to train to train.
It takes certain effort, energy and ways of being to be successful. What does that mean? It means you have to give up some of the ways that lead to non-success.
