Ever wonder Why Me? How come Joe Blow seems to be making a ton of money but not me? "Oh that Mary Jean........? Well the reason Mary Jean does so well is because she has "the gift of gab" And Tom Thumb? Well the Thumb family goes way back - they're all over this town.......no wonder!...
Are These Money Myths Holding You back?
1) SOMEONE WILL TAKE CARE OF ME Myth - Ever played this one on your violin? I'm entitled to have someone take care of me - I deserve it - I've worked hard - its my turn? Or so and so gets taken care why not me? Well the fact of the matter is - no one can take care of you the way you deserve to be taken care of - but you!
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
2.) Myth - I CAN ONLY DO WH$AT I UNDERSTAND - I'm not a Genius! Well Talent is seriously Overrated!( t is not what prevails!- its doing something consistently that prevails. Have you ever known a Realtor that's successful that doesn't appear to be all that smart? Hmm - The Fact of the matter is that Personality and IQ tests don't test Motivation!
We Think Way too Much and make things Way to Complicated...Don't know what to do or how to do it? Find someone who has what you want - and do what they're doing! Simple...- quit judging just find someone you respect that's successful and copy them!
$$$$$$$$$$$$
3.) Myth - THAT LONG HOURS AND HARD WORK ARE VIRTUOUS - We are in the Era of extra Effort, but its really about INTENSITY - you can get more done if you bring heat to to everything - prioritize - know when to bring the heat... PEOPLE CHEAT BY USING HOURS INSTEAD OF INTENSITY!
$$$$$$$$$$$
4.) THE I'M SELF-MADE MYTH - no one is! No one succeeds alone....but it is important to focus on key relationship........focus on less people......Gary Keller talks about the 3 Foot Rule.........Relationships within 3 ft of you! Ie. Christ focused specifically on 12 people......Key: Choose empowering relationships!
$$$$$$$$$$$
5.) Myth - THE EVERYTHING MATTERS EQUALLY! We have a tendancy to prioritize and then act like everything matters equally...? Understanding what matters is critical and not everything is equal! It really is important to focus on Quality vs quantity. A Job is not about getting a lot of things done...its about getting the right things done! When you're focused everything else is a distraction. Pick the one thing today that is an absolute priority and everything else becomes easier and irrelevant.
$$$$$$$$$$$$
6.) Myth - THAT YOU SUCCEED YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS - Failure is the way to success! If you fail a lot it means you're being active. Plan - but know that things never go as planned so be prepared to correct them..AND Pay Attention! Successful People are Failures that Didn't Give Up!
Most people fail right at the finish line - because its not a physical line.......sometimes its difficult to judge ...but the Best life has to have Unbridled effort!
