The best place to learn anything is to... "Learn From The Giants"
Featuring... "The lessons they didn't teach you in school."
EVERYONE YOU MEET KNOWS SOMETHING YOU DON'T YET KNOW BUT, WOULD BENEFIT YOU IN SOME WAY IF YOU DID.
THAT WOULD EVEN INCLUDE A HOMELESS PERSON LIVING UNDER A BRIDGE.
EVERYBODY HAS A STORY.
THEIR STORIES ARE ALSO LOADED WITH LESSONS.
THE INTERESTING PART OF EVERYONE'S STORY ISN'T THE DETAILS OF THEIR SUCCESSES BUT, THE DETAILS OF THEIR FAILURES.
WE CAN ALL LEARN MORE FROM OUR FAILURES THAN OUR SUCCESSES.
(STORY OF A COMPANY THAT LOST 400 MILLION DOLLARS. EARNED 4 BILLION DOLLAS FROM THE LESSONS THEY LEARNED FROM THE 400 MILLION DOLLAR FAILURE.)
IN LIFE YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE MISTAKES. YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.
WHEN YOU DO... LOOK FOR THE LEARNABLE LESSONS.
IN MY LIFE WHEN THINGS ARE GOING SIDEWAYS I ASK MYSELF THE QUESTION...
"WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE SURE THIS NEVER EVER HAPPENS TO ME AGAIN."
KNOWING THE ANSWERS TO THAT QUESTION FOR ALL THE TIMES I HAVE FAILED HAS SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED MY BEHAVIOR TO
CAUSE BETTER OUTCOMES.
IN THE GYM... WHEN YOU PUSH BACK AGAINST THE RESISTANCE OF THE TRAINING YOU BUILD MUSCLES.
THE SAME IS TRUE WITH YOUR MIND.
EVERY TIME LIFE SERVES UP A DISAPPOINTING SITUATION, PUSH BACK WITH A PLAN OF HOW TO NOT STEP ON THAT LANDMINE A
SECOND TIME.
THERE ARE TWO OTHER QUESTIONS THAT HAVE SERVED ME WELL.
QUESTION #1 IS.. IN EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE, HOW GOOD DOES IT GET?
IN MY YOUNGER DAYS I PLAYED THE GAME OF LIFE LIKE I WAS GOING TO END UP AS THE ULTIMATE WINNER IN EVERY ASPECT OF MY LIFE. AS I GOT OLDER... I REALIZED THAT WAS NOT POSSIBLE SO... I REFRAMED THE QUESTION TO HOW GOOD DOES IT GET?
MY ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS TO HAVE TOTAL PEACE OF MIND IN EVERY AREA OF MY LIFE.
QUESTION #2 HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
IF YOU CAN'T HAVE EVERYTHING... HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH?
THE RICHEST MAN I HAVE EVER MET DEVOTED EVERY WAKING MOMENT TO EARNING MONEY. HE HAD MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE I HAD EVER MET. HE LIKED ME AND MADE ME ONE OF HIS LIEUTENTANTS. MY FRIEND WAS CLONING ME TO POSSIBLY ONE DAY RUN HIS COMPANY.
ONE DAY I REALIZED I WANTED A LIFE OF MY OWN... SEPERATE FROM SPENDING EVERY WAKING MOMENT TRYING TO EARN MORE MONEY.
SO MANY PEOPLE GET TO THE LAST DAYS OF THEIR LIVES REGRETTING THEY MISSED OUT ON SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES THAT WOULD HAVE BROUGHT THEM FAR MORE HAPPINESS.
EVERYTHING YOU DO IN LIFE IS A TRADE-OFF.
SUGGEST YOU FOCUS ON ACTIVITIES THAT BRING YOU THE GREATEST DEGREE OF PERSONAL SATISFACTION AS YOU BUILD A LIFETIME COLLECTION OF AWESOME MEMORIES.
ONE MORE THING... DO AS MUCH AS YOU CAN WHILE YOU CAN BECAUSE THE DAY WILL COME WHEN YOU CAN'T.
THAT WOULD EVEN INCLUDE A HOMELESS PERSON LIVING UNDER A BRIDGE.

Some of the training courses we talk about on this site offer affiliate marketing programs involving commissions. Nothing you will see on this page was chosen for that reason. If we believe in the program, we added it to the site. Our long term reputation for excellence is far more valuable to us than any short term commissions we might earn from a sale.
