The "BIG" Secret
Recently, two separate people on the same day called to "interview" me in an effort to find out the "secrets" to my success. Normally, I would simply refer these people to my tapes, because that's why I created them in the first place. However, I was curious to see what these young men were looking for, so I talked with each of them for over 30 minutes, answering whatever questions they had for me.
As I was answering their questions, I could tell that they were intently listening for a "Magic Formula" to just jump out at them at any moment. They both asked everything from what companies I was with to what systems I used to what type of upline support I had. They wanted to know whether I had children while building my business, whether any of my family members got started with me, from where I got my leads, at what point did I go full time, and so on.
I answered their questions with statements like this, "I just talked to lots of people, made lots of mistakes, and got lots of rejection." (I'm sure that must have motivated them.)
After they were done asking me questions, they thanked me and promised to keep me posted on their development. Later on during the day after working out, I jumped in my dry sauna to reflect on my conversation with each of these individuals. This is when all of a sudden a "light" went off in my head. The "secret" to my success came to me in the form of an inner voice that said, "The secret didn't have much to do with what you did, but it had everything to do with what you thought."
Somewhere along my journey in this industry, I developed the habit of thinking about the things I desired instead of the things I didn't desire.
Remember, WHATEVER YOU THINK ABOUT EXPANDS.
Therefore, if you constantly think about not being able to pay your bills, then you get more of not being able to pay your bills. If you constantly think about why your business is not growing, then you get more of your business not growing. If you constantly think about how afraid you are to talk to people, then you get more fear of talking to people, etc.
However, if you constantly think about the awesome people that are joining you in your business, you will eventually get awesome people joining you in your business. If you constantly think about how abundant you are, then you will become more abundant. If you constantly think about how you tend to attract open and motivated people your way, then you will attract more open and motivated people.
This may sound simple or maybe even spooky to some of you, but the bottom line is that it works. In fact, it's a Universal Law. Remember what I said earlier... Your brain is both a receiving set and a broadcasting station for the vibrations of thought. You can literally train your mind to think only the things you desire, therefore dialing into the station that will allow your brain to receive those things. It may take some time to recondition your mind to think this way, but it's worth it.
So always remember that success in this business or in life in general doesn't really have as much to do with what you do as it does with what you think.
And that, my friends, is "THE BIG SECRET."
