 Hi there fellow marketers.

Today we will cover a topic that will help you start off your day with a powerful state of mind.

This is one of our favorite tools to get a “boost” at the beginning of our day.  It requires some practice, but you will notice the difference the very first day you practice it. Just remember how much easier you deal with challenges in a powerful state of mind than if you beet your selves up

What was great about your day today? If you’re just beginning your day, what will be great about the day ahead of you?
For those of you familiar with Tony Robbins work, you know that the language we use has a significant impact on our emotional state. And, being in a great emotional state is about 80% of the secret to living a life of fulfillment and success. One way to harness the power of language is by asking the right questions. We can choose the questions we ask that will create empowering emotional states. Many people find that when they by creating a routine for themselves they’re able to cultivate new habits that lead to great emotional states. And when you are in that state, your challenges are a LOT easier to handle. Consider using the power questions below to begin and close each day in an awesome way. If you do this for 30 days, your life will take a whole new direction:

Hi again, fellow marketers and entrepreneurs. Here are STEPS 4-6 of “Make Your Life A Masterpiece”.

Step 4 – Get Going: Calling the Power of Momentum
 
Most people wait until the perfect time; “when the kids are older,” “when I have more money,” or “when I get the right equipment.” Most people fail to achieve their goals because they never take the first STEP. Momentum is just getting the ball rolling.  Once you get started in a particular area, as long as you keep energy going, you will begin to get results and results feed themselves!!
 
When is a good time to start? NOW! Remember, NEVER leave the sight of setting a goal without taking some form of action towards its’ attainment. Make a phone call, send an email, book an appointment, enroll in a class, get a mentor or a coach–do what it takes to get that ball rolling, or start working with the company you KNOW people are successful.
 
Step 5 – KEEP GOING! Immerse Yourself, Flex & Progress.
 
Remember: put yourself in the environment that causes you to do things naturally.  If you are the fastest sprinter in the world, but you are trying to run in the mud, you are not going to achieve your goal very rapidly.  Get into the environment that supports you.  How did you learn a language?  You didn’t learn syntax and structure; you lived in an environment of immersion. Use most off your time in the mentality that will bring you closer to YOUR goal. Immersion equals Mastery!

Step 6 – Give More Than You Expect To Receive And Life Will Always Be Abundant!!

Until next time, good luck in your goal setting and business building.e

To YOUR success

We’re back with step 2 & 3 in the “Make Your Life A Masterpiece” series. Enjoy !!

Step 2 - Get a Proven Plan
 
1. Being positive is not enough. It’s a good thing to be positive, but positive thinking alone is BS!! It doesn’t matter how positive you are, if you run East looking for a sunset, you simply will NOT ?nd it!  You need the right strategy.
 
How do you ?nd it? Remember, success leaves clues. If you live the same laws, you will get the same results. Seek people that ALREADY have the results you are looking for (e.g. are YOU looking for a strategy to become a successful online entrepreneurs like Mike Dillard or Jay Kubassek, learn from their work!).

2. What gives you the edge?  
 
  A. Distinctions: Knowing the two millimeter shift that, over time, leads you in a totally new direction. Distinctions equal power.
 
  B. Measurement: You can’t manage something you don’t measure. What is measured consistently improves. The Wheel of Life is a handy tool to check in with yourself and measure your progress (the seven areas from step 1).
 
  C. Consistent Action: Miracles don’t happen overnight, consistency is key. “Ordinary actions, consistently done, create extraordinary results. With other words, small steps in the right directions will get you where you wont to be. KEEP GOING, and the snowball will create an avalanche.”
-Keith Cunningham.
 
Step 3 – Get A Successful Partner

Most people pick the wrong partner, and in that moment, failure is guaranteed.  If you want to transform your body and be physically fit, should you partner with someone who is overweight and who is just beginning the journey at the same time as you?  Of course not! Find someone who has already achieved the habits of discipline and the insight to succeed in the area you want to master, and spend time with them each day. This could be done physically by modeling a person you know, by reading books, webinars etc. The point is what you will let influence you will guide your every day actions. Give your selves the gift of greatness, and learn from the great.

That’s all for today folks, and we’ll be back with step 4 & 5 tomorrow.

To your success

Hi there fellow entrepreneurs.

What does it takes to change your life? One decision can chance your life FOREVER!!

Think about a decision you took 5-10 years ago that still influence your life, good or bad. What if you made a different decision back then, would your life be different today?? You bet, and the same is true today. You can make a decision TODAY that can chance your life FOREVER. We make decisions every moment of our existence, but most of them without thinking about it. So lets get down to business and start making decisions we are aware of.

We will over the next few days add a VERY powerful workbook for you all for FREE, that have been a tremendous help in our own lives in numerous areas. I’m so exited, because I KNOW it will shift the course of your life as well:)

Here is DAY 1 of “Make Your Dreams Reality”
The ability to navigate from where you are to where you want to be requires a map.  But you have to know where you are today or the map is worthless!  Take a moment and select each area of your life and give yourself a score on a 0-10 scale; where zero means there is nothing there, and 10 means you are absolutely where you want to be. When you do this, the most important thing is to be honest with yourself, and to remember that you are rating yourself against your own potential. You never want  to compare yourself to others; the power in life is setting your own standards.

1. Contribute
2. Physical body
3. Emotions and meaning
4. Relationship
5. Time
6. Career/Work
7. Finances

Get Clear, Get Focused, & Make it a Must!

To get where you want to be, you have to have the fuel to get you there: a strong enough purpose to drive you through the inevitable obstacles.  If you have a strong enough reason WHY, you can get yourself to do anything!  Stop “should-ing” all over yourself, and make it a must! Find your drive:

1. If you were going to take the quality of your life to the next level, what are two or three areas of your life you’d want to transform most in the next 90 days to 6 months?
2. If you were going to master this area of your life, what would you need to master?  Your emotions? Your time? Certain skills?
3. If you could only place your focus on one of the areas of your life you described and transform it, which one is most important to you?
4. What will it cost you if you don’t master this area of your life?  If you don’t turn things around? If you don’t achieve your ultimate goals, what is the price you will pay?  What will you miss out on? What will you fail to achieve? Who will you hurt?
5. How will your whole life be greater if you truly master this area of your life now?  How will your energy, happiness, joy, or intimacy explode? How will your success, well being, connection with others, or sense of meaning in your life be transformed?  What will you gain? What will you achieve?
6. What’s been stopping you in the past? What’s the story you’ve been telling yourself?
7. Are you truly committed to making this change now?

Thats it for today, but we’ll be back later tomorrow with DAY 2. Make your life a masterpiece!

Kind regards
Tom & André
