Fighting the Fear by Randy Gage

Let’s get real. EVERYBODY has fears. Every person in Network Marketing has things that scare him or her. We all have people we prospect that make us nervous. So how do you overcome the fear?

Feed Your Dreams. Daily.

Here’s the deal:

When your fears are greater than your dreams, you procrastinate and do nothing.

When your dreams are greater than your fears, you get into action.

That’s why you have to feed your dream every day. Have a prosperity manifestation map in your bedroom. Do self-development time in the morning. Speak affirmations. Put pictures on your refrigerator and dashboard. Paint a picture of your dream so real you can see it, taste, it, smell it, and touch it.

One of two things happens for most people.

Your fears are so strong they shrink your dream and pull it back closer to your reality.

Or your dream is so powerful it pulls your reality to it.

So which situation are you in?

Kina'ole — My Cat's Name is a Concept by Janet Callaway

Recently a friend asked me if my cat's name meant anything.  The answer to that question is a resounding Yes. My cat's name is Kina'ole and the word, as applied to her, is perfect because it means without flaw.  In her younger years, Kina'ole was a champion show cat.  Now, even though she is 15, she is still majestic with magnificent markings.

Okay, you may say, I “get” that your cat is beautiful, however, I don't see how Kina'ole is a concept.  Let me explain. In ancient Hawaii, Kina'ole is a concept of “flawlessness” defined as:

“Doing the right thing in the right way, at the right time, in the right place, to the right person, for the right reason, with the right feeling, the first time.”

WOW! Imagine what a powerful philosophy this would be to adopt into your life.  Based on ever rising standards, Kina'ole stimulates us to be the very best we can be and thus ensures we better serve everyone we touch along life's way—personal, business and casual encounters.

What a difference this would make in our lives, for the people who are a part of our lives and for the world as it radiates out from each of us.

What if you challenged yourself to value and be guided by Kina'ole? What if you lived and experienced the power of Kina'ole?

How to Use the Power of NO

In the following blog, Darren Hardy, publisher of SUCCESS Magazine tells us exactly why it is so important to learn to say NO; to learn to develop laser focus. How would your life be better if you learned to say NO more often? Janet

When it comes to comparing superachievers and everyone else, it has less to do with what they do and more to do with what they don’t do. 

 

Saying “yes” is easy; saying “no” is much harder, but it is the master skill of success.

In a world where we are constantly being tugged on from a thousand different directions, your ability to be productive and ultimately achieve your big hairy audacious goals has more to do with all the things you DON’T do versus the things you do.

Put it this way: For everything you say “yes” to you are saying “no” to something else… and you only have so much time. For most people, the ability to do MORE is impossible; you are already overwhelmed and working yourself to exhaustion 24/7.

Doing MORE is not the answer. Doing less is. Saying “no” to more things so you can say “yes” to the right things is the key to taking you more efficiently and expeditiously toward your goals.

And that is the other part of the equation for superachiever high-performance. What they decide to do, say “yes” to, they do with unrelenting laser-like focus, tolerating no distractions of anything that would get in the way of their persisting on their goals.

A while back, after our SUCCESS cover feature with the knighted Sir Richard Branson, we had a client contact us to inquire about hiring Richard Branson to speak at their conference. So, we had someone inquire and Sir Richard declined. The client then offered $250,000 for an hour talk; Sir Richard declined. They then raised it to $500,000. Sir Richard declined. Then we asked how much it WOULD take to get Sir Richard to attend. The response from his people was, “no amount of money would matter.” They said, “Right now Richard has three main priorities he is focused on and he will only allocate his time to those three priorities, and speaking for a fee is not one of them.”

I thought, “Wow, THAT is the type of unshakable and unapologetic focus that has allowed him to accomplish more than what 100 high-producing guys could—combined.” Amazing, really.

Now, when I told a friend of mine this story he said, “Well, it’s easy for Branson to say no to an easy half million dollars, but I certainly couldn’t.” I promptly replied with, “That’s why you are not achieving like Richard Branson.” Hey, he started out with nothing like the rest of us. He’s gotten to where he is BECAUSE of this dedication to focus.

It doesn’t have to be the temptation of a half million dollars; it could be saying “no” to a new TV program that will suck several dozen hours out of your life and creative potential; saying “no” to a meaningless and unproductive meeting, saying “no” to invitations, projects, emails, phone calls and visitors that aren’t ON PURPOSE to the accomplishment of your high priority goals.

Next week I will share with you the most disruptive, derailing and productivity-killing force in our lives. Uproot this destructive force and you, too, could learn to have the laser-like focus of Sir Richard Branson… but more on that next week.
