Everybody Successful has a Coach...do you?

I hope you all know that every single successful person on this planet has a coach and/or mentor in some way, shape, or form. Having a coach or mentor is one of the major commonalities of the successful persons Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich,” found in his almost 20 year study. To coach is simply to instruct. We have all been instructed by many different teachers, our parents, and even friends. A mentor by definition is a wise, trusted, influential, and supporting counselor or teacher. Guess what? There is no success without a mentor/coach of some kind. You can switch mentors as quickly as you switch directions but the bottom line you need a mentor/coach.

Think of 10 successful persons in all industries, careers, and lifestyles. I guarantee you that each has a trusted adviser. As you press toward the level of your mentor, you should then begin to uplift those who seek to be at your current level. The success of a mentor is in his/her offspring. If you are able to create a flawless bloodline of millionaires, you are an amazing coach/mentor. Believe me, it isn’t done overnight but Zig Ziglar swears that “you can have anything you want in this world as long as you help enough people get hat they want.” Zig’s quote reigns true in the field of real estate investment coaching. Sharing unselfishly and without grudge or hidden agenda is a major key to WEALTH!

Find a coach/mentor and reach for their level, they will be reaching for a higher level, and pull your neighbor up to your former level as you ascend to new ventures, disciplines, habits, and financial breakouts. If you tell me that you are reaching your goals, I am going to ask you if you have a mentor/coach.

Have you ever seen the movie "Ransom" with Mel Gibson

What exactly is your future worth to you?

I have to ask myself this question every single day and every time I watch the movie "Ransom" I think about how much value a human life has. We have all been given talents, time, and opportunity; however, we allow ourselves to be held RANSOM by our mental oppressions. We are killing ourselves everyday that we don't grow, learn, or implement a new thing. It is evident that in order to go to the next level you have to reinvent yourself.

  • Change your position
  • Persevere
  • Spend Money
  • Study Relentlessly
  • No vacation
  • No Sleep
  • Sacrifice early
  • Sow to Charity
  • Challenge Authority
  • Be open to new ideas
  • Go opposite the crowd
  • Obtain specialized knowledge
  • Go about every project with enthusiasm
  • Take uncalculated risks
  • Exude confidence
  • Be accessible
  • Take on partners in your ventures
  • Read "Who Moved the Cheese"
You must break your routine if you really want to change your situation. Of course none of these tips apply to you if you are making all the money you could have ever wanted in a lifetime. But I know the truth. 3% of the population makes 97% of the money. So the likelihood that you are satisfied with your current financial situation is little to none. Zig Ziglar said it best with this quote: "Money isn't the most important thing in life, but it's reasonably close to oxygen on the "gotta have it" scale." In most cases we are solely responsible for our lack of success. Create an appetite for education and specialized knowledge and understand that your #1 enemy in comfort.

Money follows SPEED!!!

Speed is defined as rapidity in moving, going, traveling, proceeding, or performing; swiftness; celerity. It is relative rapidity in moving, going, etc.; rate of motion or progress. Speed is the optimum rate of motion. Understand that MONEY follows it. Napoleon Hill, in the 13th chapter of his book "Think and Grow Rich," lists the top 30 reasons why businesses and/or businesspersons fail. One of those reasons was the failure to make a decision quickly. Success has everything to do with the ability to make a decision and implement it quickly. Often times we have a stellar idea in our head that we know for sure will take us to the mountaintop of RICHES, but we fail to take action on that stellar idea. We turn around and watch our neighbor take that same idea and turn it into a million dollar baby! Do we congratulate our neighbor for a job well done? NO. We accuse them of stealing our idea. We couldn't be any more wrong in this situation. If you don't want to burn your own path, implement your ideas immediately. This includes; places to go, business ideas, inventions, etc. Sometimes your neighbor knows your idea and sometimes they don't. Regardless, it is your fault for lack of implementation. Everyone has the same 24-hours in a day, but we all use that time differently. Money follows that speed of implementation. Don't waste time talking about the very thing you should be working on, while your busy talking about it. ACT FIRST. ACT QUICKLY. Attract the WEALTH!
