Let’s just be real – let’s take off the gloves … 

If you’re sick and tired of where you are, change it! No more whining, no more excuses … do something about it. You deserve it, your family deserves it, and the people watching you achieve it (who you may not know are watching) deserve to be shown it can be done!

Go to bed earlier, wake up earlier, dedicate your mind and body to attaining it. You don’t know how long it’ll take or how many hours you’ll have to grind … you simply know it WILL be yours.

Decide. Visualize. Work. Win.

This weekend, I challenge you to do more than you normally would … more than THEY will do. You separate by pushing limits beyond normal comfort zones. Knowing most will rest this weekend, happy the week is over, if you go harder and risk more … instant separation will be achieved!

-OR-

Kick your feet up, watch the game, drink in hand, take a nap.

The second definitely sounds relaxing, but 1% Success isn’t ever achieved with feet up on the couch. Be relentless … never settle for less!

This is so counterintuitive, isn’t it? We want to win … and win now! If we succeed all the time, that obviously means we’re doing it correctly, right? WRONG! All that means is we’re too afraid to risk more – too scared to cut away our safety nets. 

We’re not defined by our success, but rather how much pain and struggle we’re willing to endure, and still get up fighting.

Fail today … fail often! Will it be a moment of frustration or an opportunity to define your future?

How much are you sacrificing? Daily, I hear how committed people are to “taking their game to the next level,” but rarely, are they willing to sacrifice their comfort zones. 

I recently switched my sleep schedule, which I thought I’d never do, because I loved going to bed super late. I thought I was the most creative after midnight, so I’d stay up till 1:30, wake up at 630. I’d do a little in the morning before my daughter woke up, then start my day. I believed I was separating from the pack because I was going to bed late, and only sleeping for 5 hours. Something was missing, though. After listening to Eric Thomas talk repeatedly about how he wakes up every morning at 3:00, and how this took his business to another level, I decided I’d experiment with waking up earlier. I’ve read the same info Eric has about how the most successful people in the world wake up at ungodly hours, in order to separate – but I was never willing to sacrifice like that, prior. That was then! My comfort zone was about to be shattered! 

I started by going to bed at 12:30, waking up at 5:45. I was shocked at how easy it was, and how fast the time flew in the morning, while I worked until my daughter woke up. It actually wasn’t enough time, though, so I decided to bump my wake up time to 5:15, but that also wasn’t enough time. I’m now going to bed before 11, waking up at 4:30! I’m seeing instant results – things are changing around me. I’m becoming so addicted to the work I can achieve this early, I’m considering adjusting my sleep schedule again. 

Because I was willing to step out of my comfort zone for the long term betterment of my business, I’m seeing huge things happen – right away!  Rest is mandatory … sleep is a luxury. I don’t have that luxury!

When I hear people talk about how they need 8.5 – 9 hours of sleep to function, I laugh now. I know this is simply an excuse for not wanting to step out of comfort zones and do more than they’re used to doing. 99% of people will say they “want it badly,” but only 1% will ever do anything about it! 

What will YOU do to separate from the pack? Stop talkin, start doin!

The 1% Mindset isn’t for the special people, whoever they are. It can be yours right now. As a matter of fact, it’s yours already – you already own it. Becoming 1% is a choice; a decision that’s made between your present situation and your future success. All you have to do is open your eyes to the probability that you have more in you … more than you ever knew existed. You don’t need to know how it’ll all manifest, you just need to decide that it WILL manifest!

You don’t owe anyone an explanation for why you want more … just make the choice that you no longer deserve your current situation. The minute you make this decision, you’ll instantly begin looking for ways to create a new environment. It’s almost instinctive – the subconscious will give back to you, in the form of concrete results, whatever you feed it daily. 

Choose the 1% Life and hold on tight … the ride will take you places you never thought possible! 

When will you stop talking about how bad you want it, and begin putting yourself in the middle of it? 

Your goals will never be reached until your words turn into real life emotions – feelings that represent your successful future.

Every night before you fall asleep, live in your success. Breathe it, taste it, and feel the reward of enduring massive amounts of pain.

Every morning when you wake up, imagine yourself living the life you’ve felt in your mind.

No more excuses. No more what-ifs. Make it happen. Show the 99% what it looks like to be passionate, dedicated, and willing to sacrifice whatever it takes!

It takes a special mindset to risk total failure and disappointment … but it’s these people who will always taste the sweetest success! 

I challenge you to be that special!
