To become the 1% – to share in that type of greatness, you absolutely must do what they’re not doing … period! If you’re unwilling to risk more, set loftier goals, and decide to be fearless, 99% will be your destiny. Check this …
Stop talking about it …
Too many focus on how sexy it would be to “make it” (whatever that means – we never make it, we only get better at it). Not enough > 1%, actually < do what it takes to grab ahold of what they want. That small percentage understand that talking gets them nowhere except where they were yesterday. When will you make the committed decision to stop dreaming about a better life, game, or business? I’m not preaching from a place higher than thou … I used to be that talker – that wannabe, who only wished for another level. These last few years, however, I’ve come to realize that my talk was masking the fear that absorbed my every thought. I “kinda wanted” a new level for myself, but wasn’t willing to cut away my safety net. I had to get sick of what I saw in the mirror everyday, and CHOOSE a new place – a fearlessness that would reign. No one can make this decision for you. I can hope to inspire and motivate you to a place where you choose in a quicker fashion, but only that reflection can make it happen. So, let me ask you again: When will you stop hoping and begin acting? When will you start defining your life by the walls you smash, rather than wishes you make? Stop talking about it … stop dreaming about it … stop making plans for it’s arrival. Start doing. Now.
It’s such a simple equation: If you believe more more intensely than they do … you win! If you live / play fearlessly and they doubt … you can’t lose. The long term understanding of this process is crucial for the 1% way of living.
The majority view Saturday and Sunday as days to rest from the grind of the week. This is where you separate from them – you work, they don’t … you win! Period!
You think it’s too tough, it’ll take too much work, or you’ll have to sacrifice too many things? Are you afraid of failing or what others will say about your goals? What’s your excuse?
Do you want to quit your current job, but are afraid of not making ends meet in the short term? Do you hate feeling uncomfortable – being placed in situations where you’re not in control? What’s your excuse?
Who you hang out with is who you’ll eventually become. Know this. Understand this. Live this. Surround yourself with like-minded people who think, act, and believe as passionately as you do.
This man completely changed my path …
When plans don’t go as scheduled and after you’ve been kicked to the ground for the 100th time … what will you do? There are only two possible choices — feel sorry for yourself or look in the mirror and ask, “Now What?!” What choices will you make after they say you won’t get it done? What part of your game plan will you adjust? You only have two choices …
To become the 1% and taste the type of success you deserve, you must make the distinction between desire and absolute commitment towards the goal. To want isn’t enough … there must be an almost desperate need to attain your long term dreams.
Aren’t you tired of reading about other people’s 1% success stories. When will you decide that it’s time they read about yours? Today is THAT day where you choose to do whatever it takes to make it happen. What does your plan look like? What will you do to attain it?
Go take it!
