Success is a state of mind. Success is not measured by plaques on a wall, money in a bank, or number of cars in the driveway of your dream house. I can just hear the gasps from my readers and the looks of disgust from those that disagree with me. However I want you to realize what I mean by this. If your goal was to get that plaque then you have succeeded. Kudos to you. But if your goal was to get the plaque so that you can get a promotion at work but you did not get the promotion did you succeed? hmm Think about it. You become a success when those goals you have set for yourself are accomplished. How many people are extremely rich but feel unfulfilled, living life with regrets? Therefore, I say you become successful within your mind when you achieve those things you strive for. With that being said lets get into it.
1) The first stage is the bondage stage. It represents the worlds system of sending you to school to learn how to work for someone else rather than teaching you entrepreneurship so that you can work for yourself. (no wonder we are in a depression!) This stage teaches you don't borrow money, don't take risks, and save for a rainy day. But then we grow up and take out a loan to buy a house. What about going to venture capitalists to help you start a business. I guess that's out because borrowing money is bad. (go figure) As far as risks go. Is it truly a risk if you have done your due diligence and learned how to avoid the pitfalls. Saving for a rainy day is good but investing it in a business that will give you RESIDUAL INCOME will give you an umbrella for the storm or afford you to be able to move to a better climate. Plus if you are getting residual income every week you can invest some back into your business creating more wealth allowing you to buy the things you want and at the same time put money in the bank.
If you are reading this I believe you have moved past stage 1 because you are learning how to make a change.
2) This stage is called the reason stage. It is at this stage that you create reasons for you to change. This is where you find a product to sell, start a business, or join a mlm company. If you find yourself at this stage knowing that you want something that will give you more than a 9 to 5 minimum wage salary lets talk about it I can help you. I can equip you with the right training to help you become successful in any business. This training will help you to skip the next stage.
3) Unfortunately stage 3 is the Terror/barrier zone. Almost every millionaire, multimillionaire, and billionaire has gone through this stage. It is because of them going through it that we do not have to. This is the stage where your business has failed you have lost it all and now you have the unwanted privilege of hearing your friends and family tell you how stupid you were. This is the enemy's last attempt to take you bake to the bondage stage. This is also the stage where you start to rationalize (ration the lies) to your mind. When you tell yourself that you really don't need those things you desire. Trepidation kicks in and you have to make a decision. Do you get up dust yourself off and keep going or do you put your time, talent, and treasure into a job that is geared to transform you into a rechargeable battery. To get up every day and work your energy and life away making someone else rich depleting yourself just to get off work to go home and recharge to do it again the next day. I have been at this stage and lost a lot of money. However as I said in step 2 with the right training and mentorship you can skip this step. We learn from mentorship and mistakes. But why not learn from mentorship and the mistakes of others.
4) Success. Ahh sweet success! That's what it's all about. When finally all those sleepless nights and busy days pay off. When we walk a path few have chosen, the path of the elite. One of my mentors loves to use a quote that says "The race to become a millionaire has so few participants in it that even the losers are winners". It doesn't matter who gets there first only that you never give up until you reach the finish line. At this point people start to place you on a pedestal because it is the only way to rationalize (ration the lies) in their mind telling them they can not do it themselves. Now you may be saying to yourself this all sounds fine and good but How is it done? Mostly every one starts out at step 1 and goes through them one by one until they reach step 3 where they revert back to stage 1 and live the rest of their days in bondage. But you can change how you go about this. By following a proven system and being coachable you can tap into a community that will guarantee your success. If you are serious about your success take a moment to read SUCCESS IN TEN STEPS and contact me so I can plug you into a free mentoring program where we can work on a game plan for your success. By reading this book and putting it's principles into effect you can make this process quicker and more prosperous by skipping stage 3. Thank you for your time and I'll see you on the other side.
