So, do you have it or not? Do you live a life full of abundance and
happiness, or do you bury your head in the sand, look around and merely
WISH that your life could be a better place.
The big question that I get asked over and over is "Rob, what is the
true definition of success?" Well, that answer means many different
things to many different people, but in this article we are going to
focus on the fundamental mindset that one must have to become a long
lasting financial success in life. Not just someone who squeaks by
month after month. There are many more components in the success matrix
than mere money, but how do YOU look at success?
One thing that we have noticed as we have dealt with thousands of
students across the world is that Success is a direct reflection of
what you are willing to "put out to the universe" about how your life
really is, can or will be.
Either you have a poverty mentality, which simply means that you spend
all of your time focusing on what you do not have in life as opposed to
what you do have or you have a feeling of Prosperity Consciousness
which says that "I believe in ME"
I have preached in my seminars for years that financial success in life
is mostly made up of ones state of mind with a mix of knowledge, luck
and hard work.
The game of investing, whether it be in yourself, your family, the
stock market or real estate can be exciting, inspiring and frustrating.
Don't you agree?
Exciting, because you know that deep down inside you have the ability
and the potential to make large sums of money and to create the
financial abundance that so many of us desperately need and deserve!
Inspiring, because normal everyday people like you and I have been able
to build true long lasting success and happiness that includes
financial success by merely using the talents we have been given to
invest in real estate, the stock market and most importantly, investing
in ourselves.
An example of a company that teaches students throughout the country to
become aware of their inner potential and true ability to create long
lasting personal self worth and inspiration, which often leads to
financial success is a program that I was introduced to almost two
years ago called The Impact Trainings which is based in Salt Lake City,
Utah. I have personally attended and graduated from this program and I
highly recommend it if you are someone who is "searching for life's
answers", simply visit their website at www.impacttrainings.com and
learn for yourself.
Frustrating because you feel that you have not made it to the level of
success that you deserve, because you have been told your whole life by
teachers, parents and professors how easy it is to make money in
business, how any one can do it, and how property and estate owners are
willing to just give you their property by asking; and we could go on
and on about how easy everyone makes it seem to "get rich".
Many of us have read testimony after testimony of normal people just
like us, who have "made it" But, thanks to whom and how did they do it?
One thing that I know and share with my audiences around the world is
that YOU have the Power inside YOU to make all of your dreams come
true. That's right; YOU have all the answers inside you to make
YOURSELF a financial success!
We have seen many walk before us that have claimed to have made tens of
thousands of dollars every month, How did they do it? When they say
that "I am now a multi-millionaire, and once was a high school teacher;
How does it make us feel?
No matter how we choose to define financial success, do we sit back and
contemplate how wonderful it would be to have financial abundance in
our life, or do we personally choose to define what this means to us
and to take action to make our dreams a reality?
Maybe you choose to define success as having an abundance of money,
having incredible family relationships, or maybe it is simply to be
happy in life. No matter what your definition of success may be, YOU
are personally in control of your destiny.
One thing is for sure, no amount of formal or informal education can
make you a success in life, it does not matter how many degrees you
have hanging on your wall or how many books you read daily. Having a
large bookcase filled with books and tapes only means that you have a
smart bookcase! The bottom line is that, only YOU can make YOU a
success, by your COMMITTED ACTIONS!
In order to begin this process you must first believe in "YOU".
First get your mind in order, and then seek out the vehicle that will
help drive you to success and most importantly you must study and study
and study again about how you will create your own financial abundance.
If you want to learn about Real Estate Investing, learn all that you
can about Real Estate. If you want to be successful in stock market
investing, learn everything you can about the stock market. The most
important area of knowledge that you MUST MASTER is YOU! Once you
master YOU, everything you want and deserve in life will naturally fall
into place.... It is really that simple!
I have been involved with thousands of our students around the world
and have been involved in hundreds of success and motivational training
seminars over my years as an investor, motivator, presenter and mentor
in the areas of Business Success. One of the most frustrating
attitudes that I see my students initially must overcome in order to
even begin on the road to financial success is to overcome the fixed
belief of "poverty mentality"!
Many people have attended or heard of people who have attended an
introduction or "preview" seminar to learn about real estate or stock
investing, and have learned of people just like you and I who someone
gained so much knowledge from that they are now a multi- millionaire
or are making $1,000's of dollars every week. How easy can it be,
Right?
So you get excited and you are ready to sign up!
Then comes the costs, $50 for a book, $100's of dollars for a home
study course or the big one... $1,000's of dollars for a three day
seminar or "boot camp" and the "exclusive" ability to talk weekly to
someone just like me who will lead you to the doors of success in life.
Now you've made the decision to "go for it" and all of your natural
objections of your ego mind tell you that "this is not possible"
or "I don't deserve success" so you immediately plunge back into the
black hole of the "poverty mentality" and say the heck with that, It's
not for me or,:
"If it's so great, give it to me now and I will pay you later!"
"I need money to pay my bills"
"We can't afford that"
"Why is it so expensive?"
"Can't I learn this stuff somewhere for free?"
You see, you now have choices in life, you can either choose to spend
countless hours, days, months, years dreaming, seeking and searching
for all of the knowledge you desire or you can choose to spend that
same time in the creation of your personal abundance.
There are simply two ways you can invest in your business and in your
life, You can choose to invest your time or you can invest your money.
It makes no difference, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to
figure out that by investing just your time, it will take longer to
reach your goals and dreams.
What I am simply trying to say to you is that you can create your OWN
SUCCESSES in life. To do this, you can either choose easy or hard, by
choosing easy, you often must loosen up the purse strings combined with
sound decision making processes and procedures when it comes to your
personal education.
What price tag are you willing to place on your success? What would it
be worth to you to become a success? What are you willing to do to
become a success? What risks are you willing to take?
Did you know that the largest sector in America makes between $20,000
to $29,000 per year and our poverty level is still around $19,000 per
year? A stunning fact that I recently learned was that most families
in America are spending the following amounts each
year:
1. Eating out $1,483
2. Alcoholic Beverages $247
3. Tobacco $324
4. Entertainment $1,517
So, let's see $3,571 dollars?
However, did you know that the average person is only willing to spend
$95 per year on their own education!
WOW what has more value in furthering your goals and dreams, eating
out, alcoholic beverages, tobacco and entertainment or your investment
and education in YOU?
You tell me what you value most!
Now let's look at your friends who make $70,000 or more per year.
Did you know that they spend an average of $1,902 per year on education
vs. folks who make less than $30,000 per year who are spending $95 per
year on education?
Notice the variation of spending, but also notice the rewards each
group gains?
Don't take my word for it see http://www.bls.gov/cex/csxann03.pdf
I often wonder who is the smarter group?
This, my dear friends and students is why the rich get richer simply
because they understand the time value of their ongoing education and
more importantly, they understand that their purpose in life is
TO LEARN! Can it be that easy? YEP!
Many of you may ask, "Hey what does Rob Paisola know about this subject
anyway? That is a good question, but what I do know is that I am just
a regular guy like you building my wealth one deal and one day at a
time.
THINK ABOUT IT!
Windows of opportunity arrive at unexpected times, the big question is,
will you open the door to your personal success by choosing to take on
your life with a Prosperity Consciousness or will you allow the door of
life to slam in your face, on more time by choosing to maintain the
spirit of Poverty Consciousness?
Do you choose to fall on the side of Poverty Consciousness or
Prosperity Consciousness? That is the real question.
