Easy Steps For Instantly Becoming An Achievement Magnet CD #1
James: W. Clement Stone has an excellent saying that I really like. He says, "Little hinges swing big doors." It doesn't take a lot to have the positive effect transpire for you. The other thing that's extremely important when you're following an effective strategy is you've got to tell yourself over and over and over again that I'll always, always do my best. You don't have to be the best, I just want you to do your best. Because that's when you appreciate yourself the most is when you put in the effort, you put in the time, you know that you did absolutely the best that you can and that's all anybody could ever demand of you. That is all you can demand of yourself. Just do the best you can.
John: It is sort of like running a marathon. You're not racing against the people who are finishing the marathon in two and a half hours or under two hours. You're racing against yourself to finish it.
James: Absolutely. You are exactly right. So do the best you can. That is it. That's all anybody can ever ask of you. The fourth step, do you want to get into that?
John: Lets roll. So you've made this great strategy, what's the fourth and last step?
James: Fourth and final step is number one you developed that purpose or red hot why. You got rid of the excuses and you're focusing on the solutions. Number three you create an effective strategy for yourself and you adhere to the strategy step by step. Number four is you got to do something. You need to take action. Steps one, two and three don't matter if you don't do something. It goes back to what I learned from Jim Rohn. According to him, "You can't hire other people to do your pushups for you." You got to do it.
John: If you've made a purpose and rid of excuses and made a strategy all you've really done at this point is entertained yourself.
James: There you go. That is good.
John: You just made a cool idea in your head. Unless you do something that means nothing other than seeing a movie and getting entertained. James: Absolutely. Another favorite quote that I have is from a top copywriter named Gary Halbert who writes a lot of magazine copy and ads and Internet copy for people. He is a very expensive guy and charges twenty to twenty-five thousand dollars to write a letter or an ad plus royalties.
John: Wow
James: He said this great quote years ago and I use it in all of my talks that I do to end my talks. He says, "You always accomplish more through movement than through meditation." It is sensible right? I understand that you've got to visualize and you need to have positive thinking, but bottom line is you should do something. You need to move. You got to take some sort of action. You can't just wish that it happens. You can't hope that it happens. You need to do something. You can't get fit unless you go to the gym. You can't get fit unless you go get better food at the supermarket. You can't get fit unless you change your mind and realize that you're going to go and make this consistent and have a discipline.
You cannot raise your income without doing something different, making more calls if you're in sales or getting more people to buy your products or service. You got to do something. One of the reasons why people don't take action is because of this evil word that creeps into our minds called fear. We allow the fear to handcuff us or to paralyze us from moving forward. I would like to bust you through the fear right now. You know what fear stands for. F-E-A-R - False Evidence Appearing Real. Here's why.
Psychologists tell us, that you and I and you listening, we being human beings are born with two fears and two fears only, the fear of falling and the fear of clap loud noises. That is it. When we come into this world we're born with 2 fears. The fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. Any other fear that you've got right now in your life you developed which means it snap can be overcome. Snap It can be switched. Snap. It can be changed.
How do you do that? By taking the correct actions, developing the correct habit, creating the correct outcome. Will it be easy at first? No, but will it happen for you? Absolutely. You take action and find a way to go over, under or around the challenge or the fear. Remember the first time when you rode a bicycle, when you were figuring out how to ride. You wobbled. You probably fell off. Maybe you were like me. I rode right into a Christmas tree. I got all messed up and scraped up.
You were probably fearful. You probably did not want to get back on that bicycle, but what happened? The more you kept getting up and kept getting back on the bike and the more action you kept taking and the more you kept riding eventually it became easy. It became a habit and you did it. Then you started to say, "What was I so fearful of?" "This wasn't that hard." Think about the first job you had. Think about any new job you ever went into. You were probably fearful. You were probably nervous, but after you got into the flow a little bit because you kept taking action you said to yourself, "this isn't so bad. What was I so worked up about?"
John: Probably you got a lot of pleasure out of it. I would like to add to that. James: Absolutely, absolutely.
