Two Weeks
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and imagine how you'd respond to the following scenario:
You’ve been told that you have only two weeks left to live.
Now, after the shock wears off, what would you do next? How different would the next two weeks be compared to the way you’ve been living thus far? Would it be any different at all?
Take a look around at the day to day lives of your friends and family members. It seems to be human nature to put off one's idea of happiness until…"I graduate," "I earn and save more," "I get married," or "I'm done raising my family." THEN, I'll be able to play, to have fun and travel, or pursue my dream. What’s up with that? Why should all of the other things come first? Why not simultaneously? Have you wasted what could be very precious time by putting your life on hold until – whenever?
Somewhere along the line, society seems to have programmed us into believing that the majority cannot live life and be happy simultaneously. But there are many who threw caution to the wind and believed that they could have the best of both worlds – and do. They are living proof that it all comes down to belief. If you believe that you can have the life you want, doing the things you want, with the people you want by your side, then the universe will make it happen for you.
Take Tanya and Daria, 28 year old twins with completely different takes on life. Tanya has always been outgoing, a free spirit who enjoys life at every turn and believes that she is destined to have all the successes that she seeks. Daria, on the other hand, lives her life very cautiously and believes that you must take care of your duties before you can reap the benefits, and happiness and the freedom to pursue dreams is something that must be waited for. Yes, they are completely like night and day. Which one would you think is most successful and happy? Is it Tanya who takes risks, invites failure and strives to make her own happiness daily, or Daria who treats her life like a linear progression by finishing school, going to grad school, moving up the corporate ladder, getting married, having children etc.? Actually in their own ways they are both happy and successful. They’ve each accomplished all that they’ve set out to. However, if the two week scenario were posed to each, Tanya would probably have fewer goals and dreams to pursue, and Daria may find herself scrambling to accomplish all that she had put off until later.
Would you have a long list of things to get done like Daria, or would it be perhaps a more aggressive continuation of your day to day living like Tanya? What are some things that you could do to put your goals and dreams in the here and now? What beliefs would you have to embrace or thoughts might you have to discard? Create your own 'today' and make it all that you want it to be. Become the master of your destiny while you’ve the time to enjoy it and can mold it any way you want. I’m sure you’ve heard of the saying, "Live each day as though it were your last." Life is too short and there are no guarantees. Why waste the chance to have all that you want and live life to the fullest every step of the way. Just imagine the possibilities, then go out and make them your reality.

Make millions with this software
- I am starting a new thread with this email, I received from Mike Dillard a few months ago. Though I have posted it as a reply to a thread,but I believe it will be good to post it as new because Earl Nightingale used it. Napoleon Hills used it, Andrew Carnegie used it and it is your free of charge.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
So as promised, I’m going to reveal the secret weapon I use on a daily basis to achieve incredible results in business.
It’s a piece of software that has built my entire little empire brick-by-brick, day-by-day…
It’s not DeamWeaver, Outlook, Front Page, 1ShoppingCart, or an auto-responder.
No… I’m afraid to say that it’s just as lame, and yet just as important as the secret I revealed yesterday.
When I look out across this industry and throughout the community members at MagneticSponsoring.com, I see two kinds of people…
Those who have made “execution” a daily habit, and those who have not.
Here's what I mean by that...
Many close friends and associates have noticed that I’ve acquired one particular trait over the years which has enabled me to achieve some incredible things.
It’s not that I’m smarter than anyone else, or that I’ve had better opportunities, or that I’ve had more money to start with, (which was definitively not the case).
They all say it comes down to one thing… “Mike, what makes you different than everyone else out there is that once you have an idea, you actually sit down and do it”.
To be honest, that never really occurred to me, and it made me stop and really think.
I just took it for granted that if you have a great idea, you freaking do it right?
But most people don’t. They have an incredible idea and think about doing it. Day’s go by. Weeks go by. Months go by. Before they realize it, they’re still sitting in the same position they were a year before.
I don’t think about things, I do them.
I have an idea and I execute that idea one little step at a time each and every day until the project is complete.
Success is not a destination, it’s the result of a pattern of habitual behaviors.
That’s why you can take someone who’s had a track record in one field, and move them to another with the expectation that success will be achieved again.
It’s not the job, the business opportunity, the new marketing system, or the product that resulted in their success… It was their daily habits. They were “do-ers”.
There are successful people and unsuccessful people in every company – all using the same tools, the same websites, and the same system.
The difference is found in their daily habits.
So how you can you transition from a “thinker”, to a “do-er”?
Well that’s where my little secret software weapon comes into play. This little gem has been crucial in creating my habitual pattern of getting things done, producing millions in revenue in the process.
It’s called “WordPad”.
Also known as NotePad or TextEdit for Mac users, it’s that little program that opens up to a blank white page and just stares at you with a blinking cursor at the top.
You write text in it. That’s all. It doesn’t do anything what-so-ever, or even check your spelling.
Yes I know… Another big let down just like yesterday right?
Well here’s why this program is so valuable to you… It’s your new boss.
Every night before I go to bed, I pull up my Word Pad file which I save as “To-Do.txt”, and I write down five tasks that I must complete the following day in order of importance.
For example, here’s my actual “To Do List” for today:
To Do List:
1: Write and send MS newsletter.
2: Update Adwords campaign.
3: Run new headline split-test.
4: Finish Chapter 4 in “Building On A Budget”.
5: Return prospect phone calls and emails.
6: Read a book.
Now here’s what’s so magical about this process…
If you make your list the night before, you’ll subconscious will have all night to think about it.
The moment you wake up, you’re on task. You already know what your goals for the day are. You’re focused, and by starting your day with this focus and this purpose that’s already laid out for you, it allows you to ignore the onslaught of distractions that come with each new morning.
You’ll find that if you don’t have your To-Do List waiting for you in the morning, that you’ll get side-tracked immediately. Life happens. It gets in the way. And unless you take back that control and focus, it will prevent you from accomplishing anything. This is the deadly trap you must avoid at all costs that's preventing you from achieving the results you want.
Above all other things, this little process of creating my To-Do List each night using nothing more than Word Pad, as allowed me to create the Magnetic Sponsoring empire.
That massive new community site we have with over 14,000 pages of content was created one step at a time by my little Word Pad file.
The new Magnetic Sponsoring 3.0 System? Yep… Created by Word Pad.
It’s the most powerful piece of software in the world.
And here’s my challenge to you…
Make a commitment to use my method for 30 days, starting tonight. Before you go to bed, make your list of 5 tasks that you MUST complete by the end of the next day.
They must be actions “tasks”, not goals.
If you do the tasks, your goals will be accomplished automatically.
Don’t put…
1: Sponsor a new rep
2: Get a new customer
3: Read a book
4: Etc…
If sponsoring a new rep or getting a new customer is the goal, focus on the tasks that will result in that goal like producing 20 new leads, and contacting previous prospects.
1: Send out a press release.
2: Send a newsletter to my list.
3: Add 3 new AdGroups to my PPC campaign.
4: Talk to at least 5 prospects.
5: Read Chapter 3 in “MLMTrafficFormula”
If you do this without fail for 30 days, you’ll be a completely different person, and you’ll have made more progress in one month, than you have in the past 12.
Hey… I just had an idea… I’m going to set up a forum post for this and name it the “30 Day Challenge”. As you adopt this new pattern of habits, post your progress on the forum and share your results!
Thank you for your leadership,
Mike Dillard
