Most of the time we hear people say they are bad with money.  It’s a shame to hear people say that.  If I am asked directly about money, my response at this point would be that I’m getting better handling money.  I know what habits I want to fix.

What I have learned over the years is that money is inanimate and success or failure with money comes down to habits, and habits can be changed.

Each moment in life that we live offers us a chance to make a different choice with money.  The way we see ourselves with money is not written in stone.  We have the ability to make better choices.

For many, money itself carries a negative emotion for some reason.  Having a comfortable cushion, or even being rich, means that our personalities have to change, at least in some people’s minds.

Actually, money only magnifies who we really are deep inside.  If we are giving people, we will strive to help others with our money as the opportunities arise.

So, how do we get better with money, make solid choices that will help us develop a more solid bank balance?

We develop some mental toughness and create better habits, and we study money disciplines and talk with those who are successful with their money.  If we talk to broke people we likely won’t get very far trying to create more financial stability.

I think mental toughness is key.  We have to tell ourselves, on a daily basis, that we are going to set a higher standard financially.  Then take the daily steps necessary, and an accountability partner could help in a huge way.

Let me know your thoughts on this …. I would enjoy a conversation about this subject.

I think it might be best to define both before answering the question.

Being proactive means that we are ultimately responsible for how we live.  Our decisions aren’t based on the conditions around us or circumstances.  We make our decisions based on our values.  If something’s tough, we have a “this too shall pass” attitude and maintain the discipline and the standard that we have already set for ourselves.

Being reactive means we are affected by everything around us.  If we are in a good situation, we are in a good mood.  If we are in a bad situation, we are in a bad mood.

The fact is that we have to break down the word “responsibility”.  It can be defined as the fact that we have the ability to respond to something the way we choose to.

If people we are around, or that we work for, are handling things the wrong way, we can choose to let the weaknesses of those people affect our attitudes about ourselves, or we can maintain our confidence and our standards.

Being proactive doesn’t mean that we aren’t affected by our conditions, it means that we ultimately control our responses.  We don’t blame our circumstances for how we react, which would actually make us reactive.

I think it’s safe to say we want to be more proactive than reactive, setting a higher standard and not blaming others or our circumstances for how we handle our lives.

Roger Bannister is an inspiration to me and should be an inspiration to all who know his name.

He was a middle-distance runner in the 1950’s and the first man to run a mile in under 4 minutes.  He did this while many people were telling him all the things that could go wrong running a mile that fast.

I am sure it took a ton of preparation physically and mentally, but anything that is worth achieving will take that kind of preparation.  He inspired other runners to do the same and many runners did.

Roger Bannister did not let limiting beliefs stop him, and he made no excuses.  He went to work.

Can you imagine how hard he had to push himself?  Can you imagine if he had let doubts creep too far into his mind as he ran that mile that day?  He stayed focused on the goal that he wanted.

His focus was incredibly powerful that day.  His preparation had to be incredibly focused as well.

How exactly should this inspire us?  To stay away from self pity…

Roger Bannister proved that he could control his mind, emotions, and body to accomplish an incredible feat.

Whatever goal, developing personal freedom for one, you may have in mind…the only one holding you back is you.  The only one holding me back is me.  The only person holding any given person back is that person.

It will likely take time, planning, and some trial and error to reach the hard goal you set.  Accept those facts and do what it takes to get there.

Our brains and bodies have so much potential that we don’t ever truly realize.  Don’t you think it’s worth it to push hard enough to reach a worthwhile goal?  Wouldn’t you say it’s worthwhile to develop personal freedom into your own life?

We need leverage.  We need to build an email list and learn to develop a conversation with that list, and then sell to that list.

Also, contact me with any questions.  Text is best, but you can reach me however it is convenient for you.

If you have ever served in the armed forces, at some point you may have found yourself in combat, facing the enemy head on, or at least in support of combat forces knowing the enemy is close by.  You would be in a mental and physical battle for your life, and for your buddies’ lives.

If you have ever had  a life threatening disease, or known someone else closely who did, then you would witness up close somebody fighting for their lives in a different way.

Both are profound, and there are many other examples of situations where people have to fight for their lives through a dangerous period of time.  For the record, we never know how we would handle either one of the above, or any other tense situation until we are in the middle of it.

For most people, we simply get up everyday and go about our daily lives, working and coming back home, with the occasional trip or vacation mixed in.  So, there is a different fight.  The fight to be our best selves.

We have to recognize the downfalls of complacency in our own lives, and negative thought processes.

Most people never reach anywhere near their full potential.  Most people never know the freedom that they could have had they learned about leverage and how to build leverage into their lives.  With leverage, there is financial freedom, then time freedom and that allows us to live by our own rules instead of the rules laid out by others.

With that freedom comes responsibility.  We have to be responsible enough to use our time freedom wisely.  Our best selves would be able to maintain freedom in our lives, use that freedom to take care of ourselves and also serve others as much as possible.

So…fighting to be our best selves means not wasting precious time.  It means realizing that we can become more if we fight our negative thoughts and develop plans to push through to the success we want to have.

If you want to know how to establish more leverage into your life, contact me by phone, text, or email.

The number one answer to the question in the subject line is follow up.  It is an established fact that very few people will buy anything on the first go round, unless they know the seller already.

It has been said and is true that it takes up to seven times of seeing something before a buyer will decide to buy.  Some people have quicker triggers, of course, but for most people it will take several times and some research.

The number two answer is that your email list contains people who have come to know you through your content and have decided to stay on your list.  Those people are your buyers, and that is what constitutes a business, is having buyers.

You first have to provide value to them on a regular basis.

You can join programs, blast your affiliate links everywhere and maybe get a few lucky sales.  But if you have an established list of subscribers who you have regularly emailed with content that serves them, not always selling, then you are much more likely to succeed in promoting anything your promote.

You don’t have to have a huge email list to make good money, that has also been proven.  You have to learn writing skills and communication skills, and probably some video skills.  Gaining those skills is worth it in the long run.

Ebooks can be a way to provide value to your readers, either given away free or sold at a low price point.  If you would like some free training on writing ebooks, click here and you will get some excellent training from Keysha Bass.

If you would rather use video to provide value to your readers, or if you would like access to about 20 other free training topics, contact me and I will send you the links.

Enjoy your day

I made the live wake up call with MLSP today, since I was at home. Todd and Leah Rae Getts made solid points about watching our numbers.  We slow our success way down if we don’t watch our numbers.   I am glad I could listen in live. We listen to these calls so we can improve.

If you aren’t sure what MLSP is about, click here for some free training.

1. I have to start working on following my numbers and get better at that. It doesn’t sound like we can have sustainable success without it.

2. I need to use twitter more the right way. I will get deeper into that training. I have a presence on twitter and a few hundred followers. I will work on that one too.

Why would we do that?

Click here for some free training on MLSP and I can also send you links to more free training on subjects like writing your own ebooks, facebook, instagram, and twitter.
