Dealing With Those Who 'Just Don't Get It'!

I have been reading "The Four Hour Work Week" by Timothy Ferriss (which is my goal to get to earning my type of income, investing 4 hours per week). This is an amazing book and a must read for anyone who is serious about living their dream. It IS Possible and Tim shows you exactly how you can achieve that in his book.

I have taken the below points from Tim, who explains how best to deal with those people who think we are crazy following our dream... they simply JUST DON'T GET IT.

1. It doesn’t matter how many people don’t get it. What matters is how many people do.“It’s critical in social media, as in life, to have a clear objective and not to lose sight of that.” If your objective is to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people or to change the world in some small way (be it through a product or service), you only need to pick your first 1,000 fans — and carefully. The 10 million that don’t get it don’t matter.
2. 10% of people will find a way to take anything personally. Expect it. People are least productive in reactive mode, and before explaining that if you are expecting resistance and attackers, you can choose your response in advance, as opposed to reacting inappropriately. This, Ferriss says, will only multiply the problem. “Online, I see people committing ’social media suicide’ all the time by one of two ways. Firstly by responding to all criticism, meaning you’re never going to find time to complete important milestones of your own, and by responding to things that don’t warrant a response.” This, says Ferriss, lends more credibility by driving traffic.
3. “Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity.” (Colin Powell) If you treat everyone the same and respond to everyone by apologizing or agreeing, you’re not going to be recognising the best performers, and you’re not going to be improving the worst performers. That guarantees you’ll get more behavior you don’t want and less you do. That doesn’t mean never respond, Ferriss goes on to say, but be “tactical and strategic” when you do.
4. “If you are really effective at what you do, 95% of the things said about you will be negative.” (Scott Boras) This principle goes hand-in-hand with number two. The bigger your impact, and the larger the ambition and scale of your project, the more negativity you’ll encounter. Ferriss jokes he has haters “in about 35 languages.” :)
5. “If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid.” (Epictetus) Another way to phrase this is through a more recent quote from Elbert Hubbard, “‘To avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.” Ferriss says he has learned to enjoy criticism over the years. To do anything remotely interesting you need to train yourself to be effective at dealing with, responding to, even enjoying criticism…
6. “Living well is the best revenge.” (George Herbert) The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you, Ferriss advises. That, and [show] how much fun you’re having! Ferriss goes on to say that the best revenge is letting haters continue to live with their own resentment and anger, which most of the time has nothing to do with you in particular. "Don’t get angry, don’t get even — focus on living well and that will eat at them more than anything you can do.”
7. Keep calm and carry on. Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers. Keep calm and carry on!

Remember, most will never 'get it', but be grateful that you do!!

It Isn't Defeat, But Rather Your Mental Attitude Toward It, That Whips You!

There are many things in life that you cannot control, but you can always control your attitude toward them.

Defeat is never permanent unless you allow it to be so. When you have a positive attitude, you will recognize failure for the impostor that it is and realize that it is really a learning experience, a valuable lesson that will help you succeed with the next attempt. Ask yourself: What could I have done differently that would have altered the outcome? What can I do in the future to minimize problems and mistakes? What did I learn from this experience that I can put to good use next time? If you approach obstacles and setbacks with a positive attitude, you will be surprised how quickly you can turn defeat into victory.

Decide Where You Want To Go & Keep That Vision!

That sounds pretty easy, but it is the true reason for success, and also the reason for failure. To achieve anything in life, the first (and most crucial step in getting there) is to decide where you want to go. Think about it every day of your life. That vision will carry you over..... Just keep your eye on your goal and continue to grow in competence.... When you have a clear vision and have the determination to achieve your vision, action must follow, but it will be desired action... in allignment with your vision. When you keep your eye on the goal, you WILL achieve it.

The key to success, and the key to failure is just this:
WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK ABOUT.

"Well, it’s pretty apparent, isn’t it? We become what we think about. A person who is thinking about a concrete and worthwhile goal is going to reach it, because that’s what he’s thinking about. Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn’t know where he’s going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety, fear, and worry will thereby create a life of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing … he becomes nothing."
Earl Nightingale

I would love to hear your vision.
Keep your eye on the goal and go for it! Make TODAY count!

Great Achievement Is Born Of A Struggle

"Our strength grows out of our weakness," said Ralph Waldo Emerson. "Not until we are pricked and stung and sorely shot at, awakens the indignation which arms itself with secret forces."

Strife and struggle can inspire you to overcome adversity and to propel yourself to real achievement. View every struggle as an opportunity for personal growth. It is the struggle itself, not the result that builds character. If you know you are right, stay the course even though the whole world seems to be against you and everyone you know questions your judgment. When you prevail-and you eventually will if you stick to the job-they will all tell you that they knew all along you could do it!

I Say Bring It On!

To Your Success!

What's Your Definition Of Success?

It's an interesting question... For some, success can be measured by the career they have, for others it could be how much money they have in the bank, the lifestyle they have created, or maybe it's the person they are being.

For me personally, success is all about the contribution you make in order to enrich other peoples lives and the integrity and values you hold.

There are plenty of very wealthy people out there who have achieved success and have created financial abundance, but if they are alone without friends and loved ones, then one would hardly call them successful. Money alone won’t keep you warm at night or happy. On the other hand, having absolutely no money or financial security is not a success story either, no matter how much you give back to your community. You need to be able to help yourself to be able to more effectively help others. Luckily most of the Successful people I know are successful in every sense of the word - they are rich in income, friendships, relationships, health and happiness and those 5 things would be my 5 pre-requisites in the definition of Success.

I strongly believe that the more people you help get what they want in life, you will have everything you could ever dream for in your life. I also believe strongly in taking 100% responsibility for your life. One person is responsible for the quality of life you live... and that person is you.

Everyone has different goals in life. Some people want to be rich, while other just want to be more healthy, or a better all around person. Whatever your goal is, you can only be successful, by mapping out the journey that lies before you. Remember, no one becomes the best at anything over night. "All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose." (Brian Tracy)

My business is absolutely about generating a fantastic income for myself and my family, but that would be a pretty empty goal if I couldn’t assist others to create the same along the way. Helping others to achieve financial and personal success is a balance that many people are looking to achieve. I feel truly grateful everyday to have the opportunity to assist others in creating the life they have always dreamed of.

I would love to hear your comments on your definition of success!
Wishing you all outrageous success... however that looks for you :)
