A Simple But PROFOUND Question To Ask Yourself

Hey, I just got back from the Bahamas. I was there with a Mastermind group of high-level real estate investors and entrepreneurs. As I’m sure you can imagine…

It. Was. Powerful.

The guy who runs it has a $25 million dollar biz. My biggest takeaway was a simple but PROFOUND question he shared. I can’t get it out of my head.

Before I tell you what it is…

Think about this… American philosopher and psychologist William James said, “Belief creates actual fact.”

Ask yourself, “Does your belief about what’s possible for you… affect your success?

What if you were able to destroy your self-limiting beliefs once and for all… so you can finally realize your true potential?

Well, that’s exactly what the simple but profound question shared at the Mastermind can do for you.

Are you ready for it? Come closer…

Here it is:

Why not me?

I’m sure you’ve set a goal and then heard that annoying voice in your head say, “You can’t do that.”

Why can’t you?

I’m here to tell you that YOU CAN!

There have been countless people who have gone before you who have been at a FAR greater disadvantage… but have achieved the pinnacle of success.

Therefore, you can too.

It doesn’t matter what your current financial situation is… or your credit situation… or what terribly difficult circumstances your were born into… or who “did you wrong”… or what color you are… or how old you are… or [insert the excuse that you've been telling yourself].

Why can’t you close your first (or next) deal before the end of the year?

You can.

Why can’t you finally see the success you want and deserve in your real estate biz?

You can.

What can’t you get $10 million dollars in private money to fund your deals?

You can.

Why can’t you follow your dreams and live the life you’ve always imagined?

You can.

Look, I’m not sure what’s going on in your life right now… but however good or bad you perceive it to be… it can get better. It will get better.

… especially when you learn lessons from your mistakes, and when you surround yourself with the right people, and when you work your *ss off, and when you don’t take “no” for an answer, and when you stop complaining and blaming other people for any lack of success in your biz or life… and when you get up every time you get knocked down NO MATTER WHAT.

That’s when you’ll see the success you desire.

Write this on a piece of paper and hang it on your wall…

WHY NOT ME?

Your time has come. You can do… and be… and have… whatever you want in life.

Is it going to take hard work?

Yes.

Is it going to take persistence?

You bet.

Are you going to hit the inevitable obstacle?

You better believe it.

And you’re going to make 1 of 2 choices…

You’re either going to…

a) quit

or

b) get up every time you get knocked down until you get what you want

Choose “b”… and there will be a rainbow at the end of your story.

You’re going to look back on your life 10 years from now… and see yourself giving advice to someone who has dreams of a better life… and you’ll say to them…

IT CAN HAPPEN FOR YOU… because it happened for me.” :-)

What *Type* Are You? Your Success Depends On It…

Hey, I came across a powerful story the other day when I was reading,The Millionaire Messenger by BrendonBurchard. The story perfectly illustrates the difference between people who fail… and those who have MASSIVE success.

So which type of person are YOU?

“There are two types of people in the world. Both are blessed to enter a wide-open grand, green field of opportunity under which lie vast treasures.”

First Type Of People In The World

“One type looks around the field, grabs the nearest shovel, and begins digging a hole in the ground, looking for gold.

When this person gets a few shovels deep and discovers either (a) that they aren’t hitting gold as fast as they thought they would, or (b) that there isn’t as much gold as they thought, they stop digging and move to another random point in the field.  They grab a newer, fancier shovel and start digging again, looking for gold. Again they find disappointment, so they move on and on and on.

At the end of this person’s life, their field of opportunity looks like a bunch of half-dug holes.”

Second Type Of People In The World

“The other type approaches the field of opportunity differently. They scan the horizon and decide where they would like to stake their claim in life.

They, too, begin digging for gold. They, too, may quickly discover either that (a) they are not hitting gold as fast as they thought they would, or (b) there is not as much gold as they thought.

But here is where their fate unfolds differently than that of their unfocused peers: They keep digging. They think to themselves, “There is some gold here – maybe not as much as I thought or as easy to reach as I thought, but there is gold.” They keep digging, working hard, staying focused.

And soon enough, they hit the big payday, that vein of gold that is more abundant and awe-inspiring than they ever imagined. They set a foundation there – a fencepost of fortune, if you will. And then they move to another spot, aligned with their previous success, and they dig deep again, setting up another foundation and fencepost of wealth.

At the end of this person’s life, their field of opportunity looks like a line of strong foundations stretching into the sunset.”

So… Which Type of Person are YOU ?

It does NOT matter which type of person you’ve been in the past. What matters is which type of person you’re going to be for the rest of your life.
