Great Success Story


Ok, let me tell you what I mean.

As some of you know that have been around my 'stuff' for a while, I was lost for 6-7 years before

I started to find my way. I had a ton of good ideas that I never followed through on.

My habits were poor. I was scattered. REALLY scattered.

And my own parents who love me dearly weren't sure how bright my future would be when I was 27 years old and not going anyway (almost 5 yrs ago).

There's a PRINCIPLE that helped me turn it all around and a story I want to share - a story of someone who has just used this principle incredibly well. I used to wait 'till everything was perfect before I'd start.

What happened is that I never started or completed anything.

Here's the principle that changed everything.

***You Don't Have To Get It Right, You Just Have To Get It Going.

Let me say it again.

***You Don't Have To Get It Right, You Just Have To Get It Going.

I just started getting things going. I started learning what works, what doesn't. I was growing personally faster than ever before. And then the money started coming in.

And then I discovered that ALL great success stories start this way.

It's a law of success.

Check out this story:

A friend of mine wanted to make it in the business direction he was going in and recently asked for my help.

We took some time, talked, and I layed out a plan that he could follow if he wished.

This would have been a big change for him and a big financial risk if he went in this direction. 40 days go by and I receive a phone call, "Mike, we did $20,000 this month. I'm not really sure what I'm doing, but I'm just moving forward and taking action."

Now 90 days have passed and we spoke last night. He did over $35,000 in his 3rd month.

Let me say right here that these aren't 'normal' results soon. But if he only did $200-$2,000+ THAT would have been amazing also.

He said to me last night, "Mike, I feel like I'm in a dark room, looking for the light switch."

What he was really saying was, "I didn't wait 'till I got it right, I JUST got it going!" And that's what all of US need to do more.

Get off your tail and TAKE the next step.

Make an extra $100 this month, $1,000, $10,000; to me the number doesn't matter as much as the FORWARD progress. The momentum in your life is what counts because that's going to bring you fulfillment and results.

I've seen it over and over in my life.

If you just get going, learn from your actions, listen to people 'ahead' of you, you can accomplish more in the next 90 days than you've done in all of 2004.

Ask yourself:
What action step have I been putting off because I've waited for it to be perfect that I could start today? And GO. DO it.

YOU can make 2005 your most remarkable year EVER.

I believe in you.

Take the next step today. Have faith in yourself. You can do it.

I know you can.

Talk to you soon.
