Last week I joined the 5AM Club. What is that you ask? I started dragging myself out of bed at 5AM to become more productive.
Quite frankly, I was sleeping in till 8:30am and becoming extremely undisciplined and lazy!
You may have a traditional job, but I work from home. So the temptation of sleeping in is rather high!
It has not been easy my friend! I had to deal with these kinds of thoughts….
“Ugh, I don’t feel like getting out of this warm bed. Give me another five more minutes. Just snooooooze.”
“Why am I doing this again? I’ll just sleep for another hour”
Sound Familiar?
Excuses, Excuses, Excuses. But why do we do this to ourselves? The way we do anything, is the way we do everything.
And I could see my laziness of sleeping in effecting the growth in my business.
Which got me thinking.
Am I getting sloppy? If you want to GO PRO, you’ve got to treat your business like a million dollar business.
Waking up early got me back on point for letting my skill-sets rock for sponsoring.
NOTE: As you watch this video ask yourself; “Am I doing these things?”
QUICK TIP: Remember that your skills will pay you. You can have the best mindset in the world, but if you suck at closing people chances are you’ll have a hard time putting people into your business.
Now, I’d love to hear from you.
What was the one question that stood out for you? What are you not doing, or could get better at?
Make sure to leave a comment below and remember your comment matters!
I truly appreciate you so much investing your time to comment and contribute.
I learn something from my blog followers every time!
And here’s the questions for you to soak up…
1. Are you being the solution to people’s problems?
2. If this, then what?
3. Are you being too nice to people? Nothing inside me cares enough.
4. Are you asking engaging questions?
5. Are you asking for referrals?
In Gratitude,
Ryan
PS: Great news! I’m going to be launching some personal 1 on 1 coaching programs very soon my friend.
San Diego was awesome! I have to fill you in about what I learned from the two day business mastermind I attended…..
But first, Drrrummroollllll……BIG mindset shifts took place that I know will help you. I had this super trippy experience that allowed me to see how my ego was keeping me stagnant.
Maybe you’ve felt this before. I’m not talking about arrogance, not at all. I’m talking about holding back, feeling stuck, being complacent, and getting into a routine.
Check out today’s video:
That was my biggest shift over the weekend and I hope you understand where I’m coming from. Either that or you might think I’m totally high (trust me, there where A LOT of trippy surfer dudes down there).
But seriously I encourage you to book a trip today, and give yourself the opportunity to realize your results right now are NOT who you really are and that you are so much bigger!
I’m writing this eight days out from my first Triathlon! A big part of achieving what you want in life comes from mastering the inner game.
I’ve been training hard, but that doesn’t mean anything unless you’re clearing the space in your mind first for what you’re creating in your future.
Check out today’s video:
You seriously want to invest time into this everyday. Make it a habit. If you’re not willing to invest the time to visualize your life at the next level, chances are you’ll just be reacting to what other people throw at you.
You can do this in every area of your life, but I’ll give you an example with my training.
I visualize….
The entire race in my head.
Different scenarios and how to react to them
What my body feels like
When to have nutrition at exact times
When to push the pace and when to pull back
What it feels like to cross the finish line
I did the same thing when we ran our business from $0 – $2,340,000 in 2012 sales.
You’ve gotta SEE IT, FEEL IT, and EXPERIENCE IT before you actually achieve it.
Everything you have that you like or dislike in your life is a reflection of your story you’re creating for yourself inside your head.
Apparently you’re only as good as your five closest friends. Over the years, I’ve done my best to associate myself with people who have already achieved what I’m in the process of achieving. After years of getting to know myself and others, I’ve learned there’s five key qualities of an individual that you definitely want to surround yourself with if you plan on being successful.
1. Successful People Have Positive Friends
If your friends and family constantly complain about their lack of money, it will undoubtedly affect your money manifesting mojo.
Set an intention to find friends, mastermind buddies and mentors in the next income bracket. Actively seek out places where rich people hang out, for example, your local members-only club.
When you surround yourself with richer people (and see that they are real, just like you), you’ll start to believe it’s possible for yourself. Especially when they’re positive.
2. Successful People Have Friends With Goals
Money is attracted to clarity. Otherwise, it’s like asking your local pizza place to send you “something nice”. You want more money in the bank? How much?
A million bucks is nice, but does your ideal lifestyle even cost a million dollars? By attaching a specific dream to a financial goal, you’re more likely to push through obstacles along the way.
How many stories have you read where money was manifested at the very last minute? It’s because there was an urgency and a specificity to their goal. If your closest friends are just “going with the flow” you’re in trouble.
3. Successful People Have Friends With Gratitude
Gratitude is the manifesting secret sauce, and it’s the quickest way to turnaround a poverty mindset. Start by tracking every single cent that comes into your life, and notice how often you compartmentalize money. If it comes too easily, do you dismiss it as not “real money”?
All money is real and you’ll often find that you’re richer than you think. Every coin in the street is reason to celebrate (and definitely pick it up to manifest more). Decide that every dollar is a sign of wealth to come.
