You’ve gotta watch this video…it’s part II of our Miami South Beach Trip. Kimball Roundy and myself went into some very deep conversations about life.

I think about individuals who finally just give in to the belief and circumstance that life won’t get any better…
To those who are single parents and are struggling to raise your kids on your own…
To the marketers who are brand new in the industry who are fighting for that dream…
To the young students still in school with visions of what could be…
I say to you who struggle in discouragement, depression and living in that rut of despair…
I say hold on just a little longer. Keep the faith, keep believing and trust that prosperity really is available.

If you need to lean on me for a while then so be it. I promise you, the light will come, better days will arrive and the night will soon pass you by.

All the challenges and struggles in your life…

WHAT IF THEY WERE DESIGNED FOR A HIGHER PURPOSE IN YOUR LIFE’S MISSION?

Enjoy this video of Miami South Beach Part II. Listen not only with your ears, but with your heart.

I

watched Die Hard with Bruce Willis when it first came out. It was Christmas Break and we were at the dollar theater to watch this action-packed thriller?

Have you seen Die Hard…or maybe the other movies in the series which by the way my favorite was the last one…Live Free Die Hard!

Die Hard shows how bad people took people hostage etc.

Ok this isn’t about Bruce Willis…this is about you.

Have you ever been held hostage by other people?

Let me explain.

I have a course that I have been taking people through called Goal Setting Goal Getting. We have a blog and it was built by a developer (we’ll call him John Gay-we’ll protect his name).

The developer changed his mind during the course and took the site down without talking with me and without even communicating anything to me…

He has demanded money and resources that were not part of the original agreement. (sounds like Die Hard right?)

So he has my blog hostage…(evil forces in the movie took over the building)

Hmmm, this seriously bites! (at least I can spend Christmas with my family unlike the people in the movie)

Lesson learned though.

Here is what I have learned by being held hostage by John Gay (again name has been changed.)

Lesson #1

Focus on what you can control

I attempted negotiations with Mr. Gay.

He ignored them and or took a long time (maybe I should have called the FBI). So instead of being angry about it (which I was for a little bit because his holding my blog and clients hostage stopped our progression and movement and momentum) I chose to focus on what I can control.

I emailed my clients, contacted another developer, looked at our options and here I am writing about it. There are some things (ok, a lot of things) that we cannot control in life.

What is it like when you put your focus on things that you cannot control? Yep, not very good. So stop focusing on things you cannot control and focus on what you can control.

A great book and example of this is a book called “Man’s Search For Meaning.” Written by Victor Frankl a survivor of the Holocaust, he says basically that people can do all types of cruel and mean things to you (like John Gay has done to us) but in the end they can NEVER take our ability to chose how we react. They can never take away our ability to choose.

Lesson #2

Be RESOURCEFUL

The moment you take your focus off of the uncontrollable things and put your focus on the things YOU CAN control, something magical happens in your mind and in your BEING!

You become more resourceful. You feel better. When you feel better you think and work better. When you feel, think and work better…voila…you get better results. It’s really no secret at all is it?

So if you are seriously unable to get your site back (like me) or whatever situation you are facing…get super ultra resourceful and just go to work!

The longer you stay focused on what you cannot control (John Gay not responding to my emails and text messages and voicemails) the longer you stay angry, less resourceful and no results (like me for a while until I snapped out of it)

Lesson #3

Remember What Got You Where You Are

When we focus on things that don’t matter or that we can’t control we forget one crucially important thing…hard work and focusing on a definite purpose can get us out of most jams.

I talk so much about becoming a CREATOR, what my great friend Les McGuire called a PRODUCER. Creators always

In this Movie he is a true Creator/Producer-always finding a way to make things happen. Are you always seeking solutions or are you focused on the obstacle? Highly Recommend the Movie STAR TREK!

look for solutions.

It’s not like one thing (my blog, my site etc.) is going to stop me. What are you letting stop you from progressing, prospering and moving forward.

I started researching relentlessly how I could get my site back up.

Hard work and going all out in all that you do will bring crazy results. Sitting and crying over spilled milk…yep, only gets your carpet and floor stinking like milk.

So what’s holding you hostage today?

Bitter feelings towards other people? Grudges? Not knowing how to get started?

Whatever other lame reason or excuse is holding you hostage…stop it now!

We should never let our past hold us hostage. We should NEVER let anything hold us hostage because the fact is this…PROSPERITY is within the grasp and reach of every person.

Move forward, focus on what you can control, be resourceful and then remember what got you to where you’re at in life.

Now, I’m going to go and see if I can be an actor in the next hostage movie…maybe called “Die Blog” or “Live Blog Die Hard.”

Let go of what is holding you hostage (in other words, YOU are holding YOU hostage and YOU have the power to let it go).

Peace!

Setema

P.S. When it comes to my sites-I will never let this happen again. I have switched all my sites over to my own server. No more letting others ever have opportunity to hold my sites hostage!

My whole house and home and personal belongings...yes...went on sale. It's called Liquidation.

My whole house and home and personal belongings...yes...went on sale. It's called Liquidation.

One moment I have nearly

half a million dollars worth of

cars in my garage.

One moment I have flat screens, plasma screens and DLP tvs in my home.

One moment I have a Gold AMEX card that has no pre-set spending limit and over 600,000 points to use.

One moment I can by breakfast for all my youth group, I can donate to charities, church and scholarships…I can travel and buy almost anything I wants…One moment money is no issue whatsoever…staying at any hotel on the top floors…

And then one moment I literally have

no money and am trying to figure out

how to pay bills and keep the electricity on.

It’s bad enough that I am embarrassed because one moment I am talking about how abundant and good life is. I am speaking across the country about how to become wealthy and how to grow your assets…its bad enough that I am humiliated because as people ask me where my Benz is, or where the Denali is, or where the Escalade is I have no definite answer…

So how did we get through it all and get to where we are now? During the foreclosures and the repossession of cars this is what happened.

I could spend hours writing and telling about it. In fact I will do that in my next book that I write. I have one book down called MoneyBoxSystems and more to come.

One of my goals is to have a legitimate #1 New York Times Best Seller by December 2010. So yes I have my work cut

Sold the all-time favorite Luv Sac...it was a wedding gift from my good friend and brother Martin. It is in my niece's home now. A Creator Utilizes what is...

Sold the all-time favorite Luv Sac...it was a wedding gift from my good friend and brother Martin. It is in my niece's home now. A Creator Utilizes what is...

out for me. For a Creator once the commitment has been made…it’s OVER, SAID AND DONE! So #1 list…here I come.

According to the Encarta Dictionary Liquidation means to pay debt, shut down business, cash in assets or to kill somebody

In my case it meant…sell anything of value to put food on the table because 1-the mortgage and real estate industry hit me hard when it imploded and 2-I wasn’t prepared for what happened.

Believe me when I say I will be prepared.

Liquidating To Survive

So I began liquidating what I owned. First it was the Samsung 65 inch DLP that we had watched T.V. on, home videos and seasons of Smallville. I threw in the stand, the sound system and the DVD player.

Next went the Samsung 42 inch Plasma. Then the Sony 42 inch LCD with the heavy duty wall mounts.

Sold our crib to a family who just moved into state.

Sold our crib to a family who just moved into state.

I let go of my Korg Triton (the Lamborgini of Keyboards, or in my case, the Mercedes of Keyboards). I purchased this for $3k. This is what the big boys use in the studios and in the performances you see on the Grammys or MTV Video awards. I sold it for $1500 on ebay to a church in Tennessee. Right now a church is using my keyboard and they got it for a steal of a deal. I am happy it is being put to good use and for a great purpose.

I sold my Takamine guitar to a young boy who found me on KSL. I was grateful that he bought it. He had a disease so I felt much better about letting him live his life out with my Takamine.

The Ikea Queen...what a beautiful and awesome bed she was. I made sure I got everything out of my trip to California. You either build pipes or haul buckets. I choose to build pipes and do whatever it takes to build them. A recently divorced man has this bed in his apartment.

I could go on and on about what I sold but my point is this…when you need something, THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY. Tables, beds, pictures, jewelry etc. Yes, I call it liquidation but it can also be called:

    • Simplification
  • Humbling
  • Being stripped
  • Being born again
  • Learning divine lessons
  • Giving others a great deal

When I write my next book I’ll describe in detail how the LIQUIDATION part of my Defining and Refining Years was indeed just that…defining and refining.

I paid cash for everything when I bought it and now it was coming in handy to liquidate everything so I could have cash. I almost sold my fridge and I would have bought a cheaper fridge.

My question to you is this…Are there things in your life that you need to get rid of? What can you strip yourself of and get rid of to make your life more simpler? If you are broke have you thought about liquidating and simplifying?

Our first bed became our guest bed...sold.

Our first bed became our guest bed...sold. I went to California to a workshop to further my business. There is always a way...always!

Just recently I sold two beds to get down to a workshop. Yep, I wanted to attend a workshop in San Diego that would further my business and my ability to create and produce so I sold my queen size Ikea bed and my King Size guest bed.

I sure loved those beds but someone else needed them more than me because I wanted the funds to get to California. I drove to California and then maximized the trip and the workshop because I knew I sacrificed a lot to be there.

There is nothing embarrassing about this right now.  At first I felt like a FAILURE. At first I was ashamed. But now, I am GRATEFUL for how my life is being shaped. It’s never what happens to us, always what happens inside of us.

What great lessons I am learning through all of this!

One lesson I have learned is that when I want to buy anything from now on I will always go and look on Craigslist or KSL or on eBay. I have sold something on each of those services and people got great deals, like 50% off.

It’s just a matter of time before I have my multi-million dollar empire again (as a result of creating real value and helping people) and of course the whole purpose of having money in today’s world is to utilize it to create more value and to help more people and to give back.

My keyboard...is in Tennessee being used by a church. Thanks ebay.

My keyboard...is in Tennessee being used by a church. Thanks ebay.

Money is result and also a tool. I want that empire not just for lifestyle but mainly for CONTRIBUTION. I know what it is like to be on the side that can donate generously.  That’s what it is all about right? Using what you have to benefit other people.

We can have and live the life we commit to. Prosperity is NEVER by chance or accident. NEVER!

So what are you committed to?

If your intention is just to get by…well my friend…that is exactly what you are going to get…you’ll get by. If you could have whatever you chose to go after and pay the price for…what would you go after?

I’ve been stripped down to some bare necessities and will give it all up if that is what I must do.

Through all of this I have been developing the mindset of the Creator…an UNSTOPPABLE Belief System…a bullet proof mentality…the heart of a champion. My action muscles and commitment muscles are stronger than ever. There is something about adversity.

You either get weak and succumb or you get up and fight. You get up and work. You get up and build and rebuild and persist. “I will persist until I succeed.”

I truly believe we can create profitable businesses in today’s market because of that thing called…the Internet. That too is another story. By the way, I am building that profitable business this very moment.

I am happy. I am grateful. I will not be stopped.

I am the man who loves his life.

TO BE CONTINUED…

Setema Gali

P.S. I’ve had people tell me that I shouldn’t write about this right now. My response is WHY NOT? Should I pretend that life is amazing and that I am the perfect businessman who has all the answers? Life is amazing indeed…

I am building a business…just like Trump, just like Kiyosaki…just like Gates in his garage…just Ford…just like Vaynerchuk…just like Dillard in Texas…just like Roundy in Utah and just like every other Creator out there who did what it took to build their dreams and to create and add value to the lives of others REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE AND REGARDLESS OF SITUATION!

“…to dwell on circumstances and situations as they are only leads to doubt and worry.”

“Faith is the knowledge of things that are true which are not seen.”

Walt Disney saw Disney World before it was ever built. I too see the company I am building and it will literally change hundreds and thousands and millions of lives.

CREATE!

This is the only way to get desired RESULTS!

This is the only way to get desired RESULTS!

We had our One Night Transformation Workshop last night and it was a huge success! Lives were changed! I know mine was and I am grateful for the abilities and gifts that God has given me.

The sad thing about a workshop or a seminar or any type of training is this…

80% of the people who attend will NOT DO A DANG THING! It’s called the 80/20 rule. 80% will come, feel good and then go back to their homes, their cubicles, their office, their living room and do the SAME FREAKIN THING!

My objective is to create an environment where people can really change. My workshops are designed for 100% Transformation! But it is up to the individual.

Are you part of the 80%? Do you hear something that is life changing and then you go back and do NOTHING?

Look, if you want different results you MUST change the actions. So no action equals no change.

MASSIVE ACTION equals MASSIVE CHANGE and MASSIVE ACTION equals MASSIVE RESULTS!

Let’s face the truth. Most people have great ideas and already know what they should or should not do? But only the ACTION TAKERS….the DOERS….THE PEOPLE WHO MOVE are going to turn those ideas, that knowledge and that information into PRODUCTION and WEALTH!

Thomas Edison acted. Bill Gates acted. Great athletes ACT. Winners take action. Rich and successful people TAKE

Does Your ACTION muscle look like this?

Does Your ACTION muscle look like this?

ACTION! CREATORS develop their ACTION MUSCLE! Is your action muscle big or small or in a coma? Do you even have action muscle or are you weak and feeble?

If building muscle requires action in the gym or working out…then building your action muscle requires taking ACTION! You only build your action muscle when you take…..ACTION!

Change one thing TODAY! Change it and watch the change happen before your eyes! Take action on an idea that you have. Take action on a thought or feeling you received. Take action on what you know you must.

7 months ago I was 303 lbs and 28% body fat. Today…I am 257 lbs 13% body fat.

That didn’t just happen. I took action….MASSIVE ACTION!

Much love,

Setema.

Take action and see results. That is the only way!

THE WAY OF THE CREATOR IS THE WAY OF ACTION!

Which Way Are You Headed?

Which Way Are You Headed?

Do you want to be a millionaire? If your answer is NO then you’ll never be one.

If your answer is NO then you might have some twisted views about money.

If your answer is NO then you might have some twisted views about contribution. (How can you contribute with an empty pocket?)

If your answer is NO then you might not believe it’s possible. (If you don’t believe it’s possible…then it’s not possible.)

If your answer is NO then that’s ok too. I didn’t always want to be a millionaire. But this subject is for another time.

Bottom line is this…whatever your intention is…that is what you’re going to get.

“I just want to make enough money to get by.” or “I don’t need to live an extravagant life.” or “Rich people are just greedy.” or “I just need enough money to pay the bills.”

If these are things you say then THAT’S ALL YOU’RE GOING TO GET! You’re going to get just ‘enough to get by’ or just enough ‘to NOT have a nice lifestyle’ or just ‘enough to pay the bills.’

And if you think rich,wealthy and successful people are greedy…you’ll never be rich because subconsciously humans almost always do things that align with their beliefs. And if for some reason you go against your beliefs you feel guilt, shame, embarassment, a drop in your self esteem etc.

If you’re intention is to become wealthy then you can. If your intention is to be a CONTRIBUTOR then you’ll realize that WEALTH is imminent and more importantly, WEALTH is good because it is a byproduct of serving others effectively.

Have you trained your hands to work and to give or to be lazy and to take?

Have you trained your hands to work and to give or to be lazy and to take?

Bill Gates has provided a valuable service and value for the world. He is rich because of it. The Creators of everything we have today are rich because they have:

  1. Added value to people’s lives
  2. Solved problems for people
  3. Found a massive need for others and fulfilled it

It’s really that simple. If you aren’t providing a valuable service for more people then you aren’t going to be rich. If you aren’t solving problems for people you are’t going to be successful.

If you aren’t contributing to the welfare of mankind…yep, you got it…you won’t be massively wealthy.

If you want the real skinny on how to effectively do the three things I listed above and become wealthy then here it is…

It’s NOT a computer program, a planner, an auto-responder campaign, a seminar, Dreamweaver, Adobe, Outlook or some special laptop or anything else.

You ready…

It’s called EXECUTION, the Art of Getting Things Done.

There are two types of people out there:

  1. Those who DO
  2. Those who do NOT
Is your day like this everyday? Are you distracted easily?

Is your day like this everyday? Are you EASILY distracted?

Most people don’t know how to get things done today. They jump from task to task, from activity to activity and so forth. It’s called DISTRACTION.

Example: John starts out his day with a study session and then checks his email. He sees an email about something cool and spends another 30 minutes on that particular email. Then he checks his facebook and then he is off to work. Then he checks his text messages every 10 minutes and then watches a cool video on Youtube. Don’t forget about calling people back and returning messages. Then there’s the 60 minute lunch talking about sports, gossip etc. Yes, the onslaught of DISTRACTION strikes another victim.

John will live way below his potential for the rest of his life until he experiences that Foundational Shift or Transformation in his thinking and in his heart.

Look, if you want to become a millionaire, or a success story or an Influencer or an Inspirer, you MUST learn how to become a doer. If you want to experience joy in greater abundance you must become  doer. Stop thinking about doing things and DO THEM. Pretty simple right?

We all have these things called habits. Habitual behaviors is an even better way to say it.

Successful people have successful habitual behaviors of GETTING THINGS DONE.

Unsuccessful people have successful habitual behaviors of NOT GETTING THINGS DONE. (making excuses, getting easily

This is what my list looked like when I was BROKE! Does your list look like this?

This is what my list looked like when I was BROKE! Does your list look like this?

distracted, being scared of failure, scared of what other people think, giving reasons)

How do you develop these habits of becoming a DO-ER?

This will be one of the most simple things you do that will bring about MASSIVE results. “By small and simple things great things are brought to pass.”

Do NOT read further unless you are willing to take action.

Here’s the PROGRAM that I use today to become rich…(again it’s not a franklin planner or outlook or some program out there, or some software etc.)

It’s called ‘to-DO’ list. Sorry if I let you down. Big shock right? Word pad, word doc or good ole fashioned piece of paper and pen.

Before you lay down tonight for bed write down 4-6 things that MUST be done the following day and that you will DO. Each of these items should be in line with your goals, your dreams and your aspirations.

As you lay down to rest and pray, ask God to help you to know how to get these things done. Ask Him to give you strength and courage to work hard and to get these things done. These 4-6 items will be lodged in your subconscious mind.

As you rise in the morning you already know what you are going to DO for the day. You already have direction for the day and DO NOT LET anything stop you. I promise if you’ll do this every day for the next 30 days you will develop the habitual behaviors necessary to creating, attracting and finding success.

Your list might look something like:

  • Read a chapter from a specific book
  • Write a press release
  • Clean my room, bathroom
  • Exercise 30 mins
  • Finish the sales letter for the book
  • Start my blog
  • Prepare the slide presentation for upcoming event

The onslaught of DISTRACTIONS is too much for anyone to handle. Rich, successful, happy and wealthy people all have distractions. They just don’t get DISTRACTED.

Become a Doer TODAY!

Become a Doer TODAY!

When you make your list and begin to DO it NO MATTER WHAT you’ll develop HABITUAL BEHAVIORS and this is where your life will change.  Do this for 30 days. Remember, successful people have success habits. Unsuccessful people have unsuccessful habits.

Success and prosperity are NEVER and I mean NEVER by accident. They are predictable outcomes as a result of DOING.

If you are unable to do something as simple as this….learn to enjoy your life right now because that is as good as it is going to get.

“Be a DOER of the word…not a hearer only.”  James 1:22

To your success….

Setema

P.S.S.S. Do not be discouraged on your first day or second day if you suck at this. You’re breaking old entrenched habits and forming new empowering habits. Almost everyone sucks at it…I did. Do it.

My frustrated friend went back to the job.

My frustrated friend went back to the job.

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…

Be Like Bill. See how he persisted and achieved. He failed forward.

Be Like Bill. See how he persisted and achieved. He failed forward. He now has 3 Rings and a record to prove he learned from his failures.

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

Most think Pete just came out of nowhere. He's been coaching for 30 plus years.

Most think Pete just came out of nowhere. He's been coaching for 30 plus years and becoming the winner he is today.

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

You only fail when you don't try.

You only fail when you don't try.

–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.

Fail, Fail Often, Fail with Faith and Fail Forward.

Fail, Fail Often, Fail with Faith and Fail Forward.

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.

Are you getting by or living the Abundant Life?

Are you getting by or living the Abundant Life?

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.

“A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race” Joseph Smith.  This is what being a Creator is all about.

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?
