Setema Gali Is Creating Value

I have a good friend who quit his job earlier this year. He walked away from a 6 figure income.  He entered the world of Entrepreneurs. After 6 months of living life in the Entrepreneurial world he went back to his job because he was broke, a bit unsure and plenty confused.

From the outside looking in most would observe that he is a quitter and doesn’t have what it takes to succeed.

From my perspective he is far from a quitter. Most people would NEVER quit their job to try something new. Most people are scared to death of the unknown or unfamiliar territory. My friend took a RISK that Most and I mean MOST never take and that is why most and I mean MOST will live in the obscurity of mediocrity.

His first go around in  the entrepreneur fast track didn’t quite work out as planned. Let me share a few examples of others like my friend who gave it their best only to fail…

Bill Belichick, head coach of the New England Patriots (3 Time Super Bowl Champions) had his first head coaching job with the Cleveland Browns in the mid 90’s. Within 2 short years they fired him and ran him out of town . The players and the town hated him. Did he learn and grow from his experience? Yep. Did he fail? Yep. But he failed forward and learned from it. Not too many folks know of his ‘losing’ years in Cleveland. Five years later he would take another shot at head coach in the NFL with experience under his belt.  Within ten years of his so called ‘failing’ in Cleveland Bill would win his 2nd Super Bowl and then the following year he would win his 3rd. Three Super Bowls in four years. I was part of the first Super Bowl against the Rams in 2001 and it was AWESOME! Yes, it looks like he failed and quit but he just moved up. Bill is an awesome guy too. One of the best coaches I have ever met and an amazing family man.

Pete Carroll was the coach in New England before Bill Belichick entered the scene. Pete Carroll resigned as head coach of the Patriots after a three year career. His record in New England was a dismal losing record. Before becoming the head coach in New England he had been coaching for 20 plus years as a graduate assistant, an assistant and a defensive coordinator. He had been coaching for 20 years. After leaving New England in 1999 he took a break and

then came back to the college scene at USC. He has the highest percentage of wins among active coaches right now over the past 8 years winning more than 10 games each year with exception of his first year where he went 6-6. Two National Championships, three Heisman Trophy Winners, more 1st Round Draft Picks than any other team in that period. Yes, it looks like he ‘quit’ in the NFL but he simply learned what he is really good at and went after it. He moved up.

Abraham Lincoln and his family were forced out of their home AND He had to work to support them. His mother died. He failed in business. He ran for State legislature and lost.  He also lost his job-wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in. Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt. Ran for state legislature again—won. Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was broken. Had a total nervous breakdown and was in bed for six months. Sought to become speaker of the state legislature – defeated. Sought to become elector – defeated. Ran for Congress

–lost. Ran for Congress again – this time he won-went to Washington and did a good job. Ran for re-election to Congress-lost. Sought the job of land officer in his home state-rejected. Ran for Senate of the United States-lost. Sought the Vice Presidential nomination at his party’s national convention – got less than 100 votes. Ran for U.S. Senate again- again he lost. Then he was elected President of the United States.

They interviewed centurions (people in their hundreds) and asked them all types of questions. One of the questions was directed at things they regretted. The mass majority of people interviewed said they didn’t regret at all the things they did. They actually deeply and painfully regretted the things they didn’t do, the risks and chances they didn’t take.

My friend took a bold step into the commission world. It was scary but he did it. Then he quit that job to enter the entrepreneurial world. It didn’t work out as well. He recently went back to his commission job. He is like Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll and Abraham Lincoln and thousands and tens of thousands of others who took that step into the unknown, failed forward and then went at it again. It’s not a matter of IF he will succeed…it’s just a matter of WHEN.

If you look at the lives of each of these great successful stories they have many things in common. One of those things is a strong foundation that was built over years and years of doing and failing, doing and failing, doing and failing and then they hit the point where they broke into massive success, wealth and abundance.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan

I congratulate my friend who to the casual observer looks a quitter who failed. Quite the opposite, he is on a path that if he continues on with proper coaching and mentoring will bring about results similar to Bill, Pete and good ole Abe…success, wealth and true happiness.

If you think life is about ‘getting by’ you will be like the Centurions who deeply regretted not taking more risks and chances.

If you’re a musician and have been working on your project for a while and you feel like you’ve failed think about Pete Carroll. If you’re a business owner who hasn’t quite got it down and is still only making hundreds of dollars think about Bill Belichick. Both of these coaches appear highly successful and they are. It’s what happened in the years and decades previously that allowed them to be successful. Keep moving forward.

Take action today and start living a life you love. Be like my friend, like Coach Belichick, like Coach Carroll and like honest Abe. Be like Mike. You never know until you try and you only fail if you don’t ever give it a shot.

If you’re just barely getting by or scraping by day to day, paycheck to paycheck and relationship to relationship there are a few fundamental things wrong with YOU, not anything or anyone else but with YOU.

1. You are just a lazy person. If you are, then you deserve what you get. Lazy people know very well how to work. They work at being lazy. It takes work to be lazy. It takes work to not work.

2. You don’t know HOW TO get out of the rut which is still your fault because if you don’t know how, LEARN HOW. With the internet available, knowledge and information are so easily accessible you can ‘Google’ anything and have answers immediately. Learn how. Success is a learnable skill. Money is a learnable skill. Prosperity is a learnable skill.

Yes, you can LEARN how to make and manage more money. You can learn how to develop more meaningful relationships. You can learn how to build a business and how to attract customers and clients. You can learn how to build a site, create a blog and you can learn how to have people pay you for a members site. You can learn everything. You just have to want to learn and pay the price to learn it.

3. Your blueprint, paradigm, perception, values and belief systems are completely wrong. It’s like having a map of New York City that says New York City but it’s actually a map of Baltimore. You are doomed from the start. Your map, which I call a paradigm is your set of beliefs. If you consciously and subconsciously believe that the world is a scary place, a place of scarcity, lack, fear and horror, then the world you see is a place of scarcity, lack, fear and horror.

If your blueprint is wrong, you are going to fail no matter what you do. If the paradigm is rooted in myth, fallacy and lies then no matter how much money you have you’ll be miserable and no matter how much fame and success you experience you lose and no matter how hard you try and pray and work…you’ll fail.

I am not judging anyone for just getting by. There are times in my life that I have merely gotten by and it’s my fault. If you are ignorant and don’t know what you don’t know then yes, getting by is OK. But when you are well aware of the opportunities, the stewardship, the obligation and responsibility to not just get by, but to prosper and create value with what God has given you, then you must do more than just get by.

I am creating a 4 disc set called Goal Setting and Goal Getting-You Get What You Want. It is the exact formula that I have used in setting and getting my goals. If you want a sample please email me at SG@MoneyBoxSystems.com and place in the subject -Sample of Goals

I have also written a book and a course for network marketers and small business owners. The whole object of the book is to teach people how to stop doing things that don’t work and actually work against you and start doing the things that allow you to build your customers and distributors without asking, begging and pitching. I also dispel the lies of business building and of signing distributors up as well as most of the myths that people live by that cause only misery and heart ache. Email me at SG@MoneyBoxSystems.com and put in the subject – Free Book Chapters and I will tell you how to get it.

Create the life you want…not the life you get by default.

I am the man who loves his life. Do you love yours and if not, what are you doing about it?

A very good friend of mine passed away last week. He left behind 6 beautiful daughters and an amazing wife. His name is Naki Maile.

He was an incredible man. I played ball with Naki at BYU nearly 10 years ago. I just saw him a week ago speaking to our youth group in church. What he shared made a difference in my life. I used to see him at the gym often. He was always so passionate about life and so happy. He was so genuine in his kindness and generosity.

I have never heard Naki speak ill of anyone. He never spoke guile of anyone and was always so helpful and always so happy.

I don’t feel ’sorry’ for his wife and daughters. I feel compassion and mourning with them. I feel gratitude to know we have a loving Heavenly Father who knows….He truly knows and is over all.

I feel compassion, love and gratitude for his daughters to know that their father was a man of love, a man of faith and a man of God. I know the Lord will bless them through the efforts of others. I know the lives of others will be blessed as they contribute to Naki’s girls.

The Lord can and does ‘consecrate our affliction for our good’ if we will trust in Him.

What a time to not only mourn, to feel the loss of someone so close to us, but to celebrate the life Naki lived, to celebrate this great time of testing, of trial and of hope. We have hope in Christ. We believe one day we will be reunited with those we love.

I feel hope, love and faith that one day Naki will be with his daughters. More than ever I believe his daughters and his wife have so much to live for to be able to be with him again.

If you would like to contribute to Naki’s famlily the link is www.NakisGirls.com. Sacrifice an extra meal or a movie and help out.

Make today the best day you possibly can. Tell the one’s you love how much you love them. Spend time with those who matter most and spend time on all that matters most. You never know when your time comes so that best thing you can do is to live each day to the fullest! Call your parents and express how much you love them. Do something great for your kids, your spouse, your friends and anyone who you have forgotten.

Thank you Naki for your example. Thank you for your love and friendship. Thank you for really living life to the end.

To his beautiful daughters and wife…we love you.

I often speak of changing your life and creating the life you want. This post is dedicated  specifically to covering one of the things I do daily to Create the Life I Truly Want and Love!

Spiritual Beings in a Physical Body

I believe we are spiritual beings having a physical experience. Therefore each day I have a choice to make. Either I choose to let my physical body govern me or I choose to let my spiritual body govern me. No matter what I did yesterday, I must choose each and every single day.

The major problem with allowing the physical body to govern is that it is a carnal and sensual being. It’s the EGO, or often times called the Natural Man (Mosiah 3:19). It’s like having a reptile in our mind and yes if unbridled and untamed can and will lead us to a path of unhappiness and misery. Look at the lives of people who allowed their ‘natural man’ or ‘natural woman’ guide them. The results are misery, unhappiness and pain.

The scriptures teach us “the natural man is an enemy to God…unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man…”

No matter how incredible one day is, it cannot sustain me for the next day. How do I put off the natural man and allow myself to have my Daily Divine Reset?

I choose to climb the mountain every single day!

Learning From the Great Prophets of the Past

Moses went to the tops of the mountain to pray and converse with God. There were no temples built in his time. It is in the tops of the mountain that he receive knowledge, understanding and wisdom.

No matter how spiritual one day is, we must have our daily divine reset, our power hour or what I call my Tops of the Mountain Experience. Nephi, (1 Nephi 18:3) another prophet of God was commanded to ‘get thee up into the mountain’ and it is there that the Lord spoke with him.

The Power of Prayer

Each morning I awake no matter how long my night was, no matter how tired I am, I have conditioned and trained my mind and heart to immediately pray. As my feet hit the floor I pray. I express gratitude to God. There’s saying prayers and then there is praying. There is a huge difference between going through the motions and really speaking with the

Lord.

I enter my office and get on my knees and offer up my humble cry to God, the Creator of worlds without number.

The Power of Study

I begin my studies. I study everything from the Book of Mormon, the Bible, the Ensign and other powerful literary works written and/or inspired by the finger of God.

Email me if you want to know the other books I am currently reading. Let me put is simply. I have read more books in any 6 month span right now than I did throughout high school and college COMBINED! Sad but true. I have changed since then. I love to learn.

The Power of Meditation

Usually after but not always after, I take time to meditate, visualize and ponder. Many blessings are promised to those who meditate, visualize and ponder. I visualize my goals. I visualize what I want. I visualize and ponder on the great things the Lord has already given me. I see my life as I want it and feel it as I am already in it.

There are numerous times the Lord visits those who are pondering and blesses them and opens up the heavens. I do a gratitude segment in my meditation where I express gratitude and get in the feeling of gratitude. It’s not like I haven’t faced adversity. Look at any one of my previous blogs and you’ll see it’s been a financial wilderness over the past 2.5 years but I am filled with gratitude for it. Gratitude and feeling the gratitude in full sincerity is POWER! When we are grateful we get into a vibration of gratitude it allows us to receive. “I am an EXCELLENT receiver.”

The Power of Keeping A Record

I keep a journal on my laptop as well as a handwritten brown covered journal that records my thoughts and inspiration through my study.  When we learn to record the inspiration from God and follow it, He gives us more. Click here for an amazing talk on this subject.

I pray fervently through my study. I allow the Spirit of God to touch my mind and inspire my heart. I then begin the ‘physical’ day of work, exercise, parenting duties etc.

When I begin my day in the ‘Tops of the Mountains’ I recharge my spiritual batteries. I plug-in to the source of happiness. I prepare myself for the pulls of the world.

Early To Bed Early To Rise

This quote comes from a talk click here for the full talk

“There is also a great value that can come to the early riser. Years ago my wife and I were driving with President and Sister Marion G. Romney. Along the way, President Romney shared some of his personal experiences when he was first called to serve as a General Authority in 1941. He felt he needed some advice, so he went to Elder Harold B. Lee, a new member of the Quorum of the Twelve. He asked him how to be a successful General Authority. Elder Lee answered, “Go to bed early and get up early. If you do, your body and mind will become rested, and then, in the quiet of those early morning hours, you will receive more flashes of inspiration and insight than at any other time of the day.”

This ‘climbing the mountain’  can be any amount of time. When I was still young in my spirituality climbing the mountain was quick. I now like to take between 30-60 minutes. If I could I would spend 2-3 hours reading, studying and meditating. If I get a late start in my day then it’s shorter nevertheless I still climb the mountain. If it’s only 10-20 minutes I still climb the mountain. The point is…CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN.

When I don’t climb the mountain and have the daily divine rest…well, it’s a very difficult road to travel the rest of the day. No matter whether I am in a hotel traveling or if I’ve stayed up late for my newborn son or to take care of my sick son or wife, I begin each day with the Tops of the Mountain experience.

What Do I Truly Want

I want power from God to be strong against the natural man inside of me. I desire greater patience, greater faith and greater humility. I want to be a light for my wife and children. I want to influence others to know Him who walked the shores of Galilee. I want to shine light on the path that others are traveling so they can feel the divine guidance that I feel and the warmth of the Saviors love which is all-encompassing.

Climb the Mountian and Experience It Yourself

Take Action Now

Those who never climb the mountain never get what I am talking about. Those who do climb the mountain daily know exactly what I am talking about. In fact we connect spiritually and verbally. There is an unsaid understanding and connection. Some call it spiritual maturity. Others call it spiritual power. Regardless of what it’s called, in order to experience the Tops of the Mountain…you MUST climb the mountain. The more you climb, the more power you receive.

It’s 5:16 AM now and I will finish my Tops of the Mountain Experience. Wouldn’t you love to begin your day in the Tops of the Mountain?

I’ll see you at the Top.

Please share your experience so that others may benefit!

FREE WEBINAR TRAINING TO HELP YOU

I love being a daddy. I am a very proud father of 2 boys who I love and adore so much. I love being a husband too but this is dedicated to the fathers out there.

The past two weeks have been amazing. My 2nd son was just born and I forgot how many diapers they go through in a day. I can change like 3 diapers in a 30 minute span…how awesome is that?

As an entrepreneur and online marketer I work from my home office. Therefore I have the chance to see them grow each and every day through the day.

12-18 diapers changed daily between my two boys.

Jumping on the trampoline, teaching Zion to ride his bike, Mac and Cheese, chips, apple juice, Kung Fu Panda, Cars, Hulk, Sound of Music, Yo Gabba Gabba, Mickey Mouse Playhouse, Handy Manny, Sesame Street, Dora the Explorer, Diego, Agent Oso, Backyardigans, and the list goes on. My son watches TV in my office while I work. Can you say AWESOME!

Although there are countless books out there about fatherhood and parenthood there is nothing like being a father period!

I coached high school football last year and I could teach and coach and show and tell my players but there was nothing like getting out on the field and actually DOING it.

The same goes for swimming, tying knots, cooking food and FATHERHOOD. You can read all about it and watch videos about it but there is no substitution for jumping in the pool, actual knot tying, being in the kitchen and cooking and then there is no substitution for being a father.

I change diapers through the night and in the day to help my wife. If we are ever out of the house I ALWAYS change them. It gives my wife a break but more than than, it gives me investment time with my kids. I love them so much and I love being a dad. Oh no, I am far from being a perfect father and I have had to apologize to my 2 year old if I am ever out of line towards him.

I’ve learned that my 2 year old wants more and more attention these days so I must more than ever be prepared, plan and then be spontaneous with him.

I’m still learning how to be a father. I have great examples around me in both my fathers Setema and Royal. My brothers and my MPA brothers have been great mentors since they had kids before me and told me stories.

I love being a daddy.

I was a member of the Super Bowl XXXVI New England Patriots. I have played football all over the country. I have made lots of money. I have traveled the world from Micronesia, to New York to Samoa to Florida to Australia, New Zealand and to Japan. These were amazing blessings for me to experience early in my life.

But NOTHING and I mean none of those things compares to being a daddy and loving and serving my kids. I can teach them, show them, mentor them and love them. I play with them, hold them, kiss them, chase them, bite them, smell them, bathe them, clean up after them….Yes it is hard and challenging at times…but no greater reward!

I would love to hear your stories about being a daddy and your experiences and thoughts.

So many people put off their goals and dreams as if it’s just going to happen. You make it happen, you create it to happen or you don’t get it!

You’re growing or dying. You’re contributing or taking. You’re either giving reasons or results.

What’s holding you back from making changes in your life?

Do you really know what you want in life?

Do you have purpose and passion and clarity every day that you wake up? If not…..

I invite you to come to the event that I am putting on. It’s called the One Night Transformation.
