Hey Folks,

In my last post, I mentioned that you should study your own reflections of successes and failures so you can avoid factors contributing to failure and pursue factors favorable to success. But in life, we have only so much time we can try and hope we don’t get errors! So how do we minimized failures and maximize success within a limited time frame?

We study Successful Reflections! More accurately, we study successful people, their processes and their habits. We study their successes and their failures and we learn from them they way we learn from our own reflections.

There is an important aspect in life and that is “Success Leaves Traces“. All successful people have some common habits or common traits across the board and here are just some of their traits (notice how similar they are to our 9 steps) :

• They never blame others for their past failures
• They always give thanks to people who have helped them along the way
• They always have a dream
• They can usually describe their dreams vividly even before they reach it
• They walk the talk
• They share their experiences and knowledge
• They Never Give Up
• They usually end up with a biography

You could learn from them when they decide to publish their biography or you could actively seek them out as a mentor. Or more likely, you can buy one of the countless books they have published about certain aspects of their success or attend one of their seminars.

So how do you choose a mentor? I have listed my criteria which works for me:

1. They are successful in the same field I am in or aspire to be in
2. They have a set of principle or philosophy which I admire and wish to incorporate as my own
3. They write books and/or speak at seminars
4. They are willing to teach

Remember in my last post I mentioned about I mentioned that given any secret formula or process, it will work if you:

1. UNDERSTAND the process correctly;
2. APPLY the process correctly; and
3. Apply process under SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Having a mentor is guide you on the process they have created gives you the best chance to get these 3 factors right. Who else could be better then the creator to tell you if you got it right, applied it correctly and known if your circumstances were similar to their circumstances? None other then the creator themselves, right?

So if you have been struggling with whatever goal you are trying to achieve now for the pass months or years or tried whatever secret formula and process to no avail. Take sometime to think about it, is there someone in your field that is successful and willing to teach or take on an apprentice/student or offer courses or seminars where you can learn directly from them. If there is, empty your cup and learn from them unreservedly.

In the next post, I will talk about my experience with my pass and present mentor. I will also talked about what worked and what did not and the 3 things that you need to do that will ensure a fruitful experience in learning from a mentor.

Love,
James

Hey Folks,

Welcome back! Today I will be sharing a speech given by Steve Jobs during the Commencement address at Stanford University in 2005. Click here for a transcript of the speech if you would rather read than watch.

Did you like it? I do and I learn 3 states of mindset that I have been using to counter the “noises” I mentioned in my last post. This is how I relate them:

The first story is about connecting the dots and I would like to bring your attention to this para:

“…you can’t connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them (the dots) looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future. You have to trust in something, your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road, will give you the confidence to follow your heart even if it leads you off the well worn path …”

Our journey in life is like playing the game “connecting the dot”. The difference between this and our childhood game is that there is no numbering of the dots! The dots are like you choices in life, which do you choose? When you lack the knowledge or skill to navigate the jumble of dots, which do you choose? I choose to do what Steve Jobs did in the beginning. I trust my feeling when I choose the next dot and I work towards acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to make it happen. I trust that by doing all that I care to do, for what I want, that all the dots will be connected at the end.

In recent years, I developed the “Ladder of Dreams” which essentially “maps out the dots, looking backwards”. It puts the numbers back into the “connecting the dot” game. I have been using this technique with wonderful results and great success. If you have not read about it, you can do so here. Oh by the way, don’t throw Steve Jobs advice out of the window just yet. You still need to trust something to choose your “end dot” also know as “Your Dream” even if you choose to use the “Ladder of Dreams”.

I use this first mindset together with “Ladder of Dreams” to get rid of Road Blocks!

The second story is about love and loss and I would like to bring your attention to this para:

“Sometimes life gonna hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. I am convince that the only thing that kept me going was that I love what I did … You’ve got to find what you love! That is as truth for work as it is for lovers. Your work is going to fill in a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do!”

It does not matter how well you plan your life and work your plan. It does not matter if you have the most positive mindset and attitude. It does not matter if you have not the slightest negative thought and you have always manifest and visualize only positive thing. Sometimes life will hit you in the head with a brick! Don’t Lose Faith!

Do not doubt if the Law of Attraction has malfunctioned. Do not doubt if you have somehow failed yourself. Do not doubt if someone is out to get you. Leave those aside, they ARE negative thoughts which will definitely attract negative events if they take hold. Instead view the event as natures way of shaping you up for bigger and better things in life. Pick yourself up and move forward.

I love the last part of this particular quote “And the only way to do great work is to love what you do!”. It matters that you love the things you do. It matters that you have passion in your belief. You love and passion will cushion any bricks flying your way and you will not give up without a fight! It does not matter if the negative thoughts comes as sudden as an avalanche or as consistent as a waterfall, you will be able to shrug it off like a prizefighter.

I use this second mindset to fight Negative Feedbacks!

The third story is about death and I would like to bring your attention to this para:

“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today. And whenever the answer is been NO for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something. Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure. This things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly what is important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart.”

Like I say in my last post, I have a weakness for distractions and I am still fighting it today. There are simply too many fun and attractive things to do. I would be perfectly happy doing them if not for the fact that they not only don’t help me achieve my dreams in life but they delay my dream indefinitely.

There was once were I would succumb to distractions every day and delay working my dream. Thankfully, those days are much much lesser now and the single most powerful thought is being describe by Steve Jobs in the quote “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”. Ask yourself this question and answer it truthfully. Serious! You will be surprise to find yourself working your dream harder than you have ever been and working it on the longest stretch you could ever remember.

Nowadays, I hardly complete a game that I love or finish watching a TV serial. Sometimes I never even complete a movie! But I do finish my task I set out to do in order to move my goal forward. Even when I declare a day off, I still couldn’t keep myself from checking my progress on my goal.

I use this last mindset to dispel Distractions!

It’s a long post …. and I had originally intended for it to be a 3 part posting. It’s not everyday that I write a long post like this. But after re-writing it a couple of times, I decided to publish it in it’s entirety so that you can get the full picture of what I wanted to share with you.

Love,
James

Hi Folks,

The response to my last post was fantastic! Thank You for all your kind comments. Today I will talk about taking action but we are doing it a bit differently. I will direct you to a post that I have written sometime ago and I will comment further on it.

First post, I would like you to read this “The Secret - How Does The Universe Conspire To Help You?”

In this post, I mentioned the concept that we only see what we tell our mind to see. We are unconscious to all the opportunities out there, around, surrounding us until we tell our mind “look, I need to find this”, only then is our mind opened to it and receives it. That is why you always hear these famous phrases “Open your mind and you will see the opportunities” and “Don’t be close minded”.

Why does our mind work that way? Well, I am not sure but I have 2 possible explanation. First, it is the bodies natural way of preventing information overload to the mind. Second, we are conditioned to be closed minded by our environment, studies, culture, etc.

Second post, I would like you to read this “The Secret - The Universe Do Not Help You Get What You Want!”

When you see opportunities after opening your mind and your are competent enough to take advantage of it, that is when they say “I visualized and it came true”.

But what if your are not competent enough to take advantage of it? First, you will still see a lot of opportunities that will help you become competent but usually you have set your sight so high that you missed all the obvious ones right in front of you. That’s when you need the “Ladder of Dreams” to manage your goal setting and shift your focus back to the obvious opportunities. That’s when things start to become achievable and you will start to say “Geez, the universe does conspire to help me!”

Well, actually, you helped yourself

I would like to share another last post to re-emphasize the importance of taking action and there is a cool video on taking action too. Read this “Practicing Success - Nothing Equals Nothing“.

I know, I know. It’s a handful of reading and I hope you like it! If you find the post too long and wish they were shorter, do leave a comment and let me know too! Next post, I reveal a monster that stops success stone cold in it’s track. Don’t missed it! It’s on Sunday, 8th July. See Ya!

Love,
James

Hey Folks,

I just got this HOT from Australia, where Tony Robbin just concluded his Wealth Mastery Seminar! IF you know Tony, he is one of the most powerful self development coaches around in the world. He also is one of the authority on wealth mastery but his Wealth Mastery series of seminar has never had an Internet Marketer as a guest speaker nor has any footage been recorded and released UNTIL NOW.

Stephen Pierce, a renowned internet marketer and an inspiring story all by himself has not only become the FIRST Internet Marketer to stand on Tony’s stage but got the rights to record and release it! So if you had always wanted to attend Tony’s seminar for self improvement or wealth creation but could not fork out for that $5000 seminar ticket, you are in luck! You can now get a pierce (opps … I mean piece) of it, you can now do it for a very pocket friendly price.

Click Here To Get It

Oh, before I forget the most important point ….. it’s only available for 72 hours. Hey, I don’t set the rules, I just repeat it

This is what some renowned internet marketer has to say about it:

“MUST HAVE For All Serious Entrepreneurs” - Mike Litman #1 Best-Selling Author

“You Will Benefit From Anything You Learn From Him!” - Jay Abraham (The Worlds #1 Marketing Expert)

“..my profits exploded. I’ve made +$47,760 in less that two months…” - Patric Chan

“$548,350.00 in sales in 7 days… $1.5 MILLION in 60 days!” - Greg Poulos (Profits Run, Inc.)
