The Secret Ingredient

“The heights of great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night” – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When we sought criteria for accepting Members for our DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum, now numbering 229 world wide and growing almost daily, we started by expecting at least five years of business experience. But we realized that we knew a lot of losers who had been in business for ages. Often, people who have no business experience at all, do very well in Joint Ventures. Then we thought of requesting references, but we know that turkeys will be enthusiastically recommended by other turkeys. So we thought about the reason why people succeed in life and Joint Ventures. Here’s the secret.

What is the ingredient that makes people truly successful? Given that they have a good idea and direction, of course, I decided that the ingredient is ACTION. But a lot of people take half hearted, “leave-the-back-door-open”, cynical, mediocre action. And naturally, that doesn‘t work. Others are very keen to start off with but fade really fast when the going gets tough. They run out of energy at the first bump in the road. Weak. The Zurich Axioms contains this valuable insight: “Optimism means expecting the best, but confidence means knowing how to handle the worst. Never make a move if you are merely optimistic”

Paul J. Meyer says, “Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the possibility of defeat…” The secret ingredient to success in any venture is ACTION, but we need to define what KIND of action that has to be. We need to take massive, determined, courageous, decisive, confident, firm and unyielding action. We need to be absolutely convinced of our purpose and passionately committed to success. As immigrants ourselves, we know that those immigrants who fail, do so mainly because of their attitude.

What have you been putting off and avoiding? It’s time to take action and to blast through fear and reluctance. What procrastination has kept you from achieving your magnificent obsession? What calls do you have to make? What letter do you have to write? What decision do you need to make? You will feel a whole lot better when you have the guts to leave the ruts and do what you know you have to do. And, if you’ve been putting off joining the Forum, look at what you’ll be missing, below – there is no charge for our Annual Members Only Convention!

Victoria's Secret - Too Sexy? - This will be upsetting for some men. I just heard a report about Victoria's Secret and it was interesting. Their sales were down drastically in the 4th quarter of 2007 and the report was about how they are thinking the company has gotten too far away from the heritage that made it the blockbuster company it is. They are thinking the ads etc have become too sexy and the plan (at the moment) is to make the ads more sophisticated. That would be like the Super Bowl commercial which was very tasteful, but very different from any Victoria's Secret I've seen lately. Who do you all think the current sexy ads are targeting? I think its the men that they hope will buy these items for their female significant others. I hate to give Omarosa any kudos - but most women aren't "sold" on an item by an ad of a near naked sexy woman. Shri
Re: Success - I study success intently, and would like to share: Here's two excellent and nearly identical success-formulas from a couple of the world's masters. FIRST FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Clear, Definite Purpose 3. Committed Decision 4. Take Action In Faith (Bonus Secret Sauce: 5. Repeat Consistently) I made a video about this, but am not allowed to link it yet. Google "Ryze Success Steps" for it. Oh, and this is Napoleon Hill's (Master Of Success Laws)'s Formula. SECOND FORMULA: 1. Passionate Desire 2. Understand It Is Already Done (Faith) 3. Relax & Allow It To Unfold (Go about your life calmly) This one is courtesy of Abraham-Hicks (inspiration for the movie The Secret). Hope that helps!
