Change is Good

We’re going through some big and positive changes in the WMI community this week and it got me thinking… what’s really going to be NEW for YOU and for ME tomorrow and the next day and the day after that once all these fantastic enhancements are up and running? One of the most liberating and empowering lessons I ever learned in the direct marketing industry is that my past has absolutely nothing to do with my future. The results we get today are nothing more than the outcome of past choices… and choices can be changed in an instant. To begin getting new results, all you really have to do is start making (and ACTING on) new decisions.

Here’s the connection. New toys and gadgets and bells and whistles are always fun, and believe me when I tell you that we’re rolling out a set this week unlike anything you’ve seen before in this industry. But once all the tools and systems are in place, it’s PEOPLE who make them work… it’s PEOPLE who apply them to get an end result they’ve set their focus and intentions on. How many times have you heard someone say that they’ll start getting better results when they’ve had more practice on live calls, or when they’ve really mastered handling objections, or when they finish that big project at work, or when they quit their job, or when they know the product line a little better, or when they start getting more support from their spouse?

Your capacity to act right now, in the present moment, is every bit as powerful as that of any top producer you can name. What’s holding you back is not circumstances or tools or even time… you have access to the same 24 hours in a day that Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Kip Herriage and Karl Bessey have. The limits we bump up against are the limits we set for ourselves… beliefs we’ve formed over time based on the experiences in our past. Let’s clear this up once and for all… your past has absolutely NOTHING to do with your future. What limiting beliefs can you let go of right now that might be holding you back? Is there a scarcity mentality about time, money, relationships or success that keeps you from making newer, more powerful choices?

Let me give you a quick, practical example. Whether we’re aware of them or not, most of us have subconscious “set points” about how much money we can make, how fulfilling our relationships can be or even about the quality of our experiences in life. You may have a goal card, a vision board and a list of affirmations all pointing to a seven figure income, but if you subconsciously believe that you’re only worth $30,000 a year because of what you or your friends or your parents earned in the past, your choices and actions… even the way you speak and carry yourself… aren’t going to be in alignment with that new number. Without even realizing it, you’re going be actively REJECTING the opportunities, relationships, and resources that will propel you to seven figures.

Get this in a real, internal way and you’ll be amazed at the miraculous changes that start picking up speed and frequency in your life. Your past has nothing to do with your future. Change your set points. Update your belief system. Pay attention to that inner critic that tries to shout you down every time you affirm something better in your life… those are the unconscious set points… the limiting beliefs that must be re-written NOW. I KNOW without a doubt that you absolutely deserve an abundant life. I’m willing to celebrate the GREATNESS in you before you see it in yourself. No matter what tools or systems may be within reach on any given day, that one-two punch of new beliefs and relentless action will make you unstoppable.

DREAM BIG!!!

Re: Spellcheck? - [quote="TheAnonymousMan":2f894q6j]When discussing the majority of people I would definitely say that most people hit the "Change" or "Ignore" button without thinking too much about the correct spelling of a word. All bosses are concerned about is getting the report to the Directors meeting on time.[/quote:2f894q6j] That probably depends on what the "majority" are trying to accomplish. I have word set to alert me about misspellings and grammatical problems, so I fix most as I go. But I also add names etc to the dictionary because I get tired of seeing the red and green squiggles when I know the info is right. If you're only going to click "Change" or "Ignore" then why bother to take the time to use spell check????? Business people that I work for want the info compiled in a timely manner and they want it right - which is fine because that's the way I strive to do any project. Sending out a memo, letter, report etc with obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes makes the person and the company look bad as far as I'm concerned. Shri

Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers - Hi GT It is only fairly recently that people in South Africa have been able to get full use of Paypal as we were only able at one time to make payments but not receive them. Fortunately this has now changed. I have received money through Global X Change for one of the affiliate programs that I promote and have found them pretty good as the money is normally transferred directly into my bank account within 2-3 days and I have not had any problems with them.
