BEING THE PRIZE

Progress has been steady, but slow. I am making great progress at sustaining my focus for longer periods of time. Biggest realization to understand is to not delay things, and not blaming myself when I do delay. Idea being is course adjustments. Like a plane flying from one city to another needs adjustment without pilot getting upset, so does planning.

My mantra is “Do It Now” it’s so easy to delay things and tell ourselves we get back to it, just to find out it’s several days later and nothing is accomplished except a sense of guilt for not doing what you wanted to do, then avoidance steps in, then more guilt…. It’s a vicious cycle. The way out is acceptance and adjustment. Don’t delay start doing now, get momentum and move on.

I am already not surprised since I see it lately quite often.  Things which are supposed to be the common knowledge is common, but with very little knowledge.  I am growing more and more appreciative of testing.   It is quite interesting to see that often time people just assume things without testing them.  So what does that do?  It creates environment that distorts reality.

A lot of different things when it comes to promotions and search engine optimization is surprising when tested, for often the results are not at all what they supposed to be.

I will continue taking different things with a grain of salt and to the best of my ability will attempt to test everything, since it appears that is turning out to be a very profitable.

So, things are going according to plan,  I am consistently at about $100 per day in profit,  from the 2 businesses.   I am able to increase my focus very effectively, despite increase of things that are competing for my attention.  Settings priorities and sticking to them is increasingly important, if for no other reason then develop momentum to do things you want to be doing.

A concept of Master-Mind group is something that I was reminded of today.  Yes I know it’s vital, yes I know if I want to see exponential growth it will parallel the growth of like minded individuals around me.  Have I done anything to increase my MasterMind Group?  Yes I have.   Can I do way more?   Most definitely.   I fully accept myself and everything that is in my life right now.   After all I personally manifested it.     I can play the blame game and raise the emotions hoping to be pushed into action (rarely works), but I am not going to do that.

Instead I choose to focus more on the every day opportunities to Increase my Master-Mind Group and through positive results will create a feedback loop through which I will bring faster and greater results.

Another important aspects besides the Master-Mind group is the people we choose to immediately surround ourselves with (girlfriends, boyfriends, relatives), if they don’t support us and encourage our vision, then they are a terrible human beings 🙂  just kidding…    really though, they might be powerful amazing individuals, but if they don’t share our vision it means that not only they can’t help us, but perhaps more importantly we can’t help them.   That is not the environment of harmony that geometrically increases everyone’s ability energies and passions, but rather there is a canceling effect that seems to be taking place.  And why would anyone knowingly choose to be in the environment that diminishes the powers of those involved?

Following my brainstorming session, I arrived to the conclusion that in order to achieve my goal I will utilize primarily the net raising around $20,000 before I will consider the options of physical business.

Tentative plan is as follows:

Prepare the necessary setup this month for membership sites & maximize return on my current businesses so they would yield $200/day in profit.

November and December will be the time of the launch of 2 membership sites.

Meanwhile I will keep an eye out on physical business opportunities… previous steps being a priority and this step planning as time allows

(I will look for real estate opportunities, as I already have some experience in this field.  My credit is barely average so creative financing and availability of cash will

likely be required.  I don’t think I will do any implementation with this until December).

This is my blueprint for the upcoming months.  It’s not detailed, I will provide more of them here or on the private blog as they become clear.  This is a general direction I chose.

I am currently making an account of all the resources that are currently available to me.  Based on that I will be able to have a better idea of what direction I want to take with this project.   Leverage is vital in this kind of projects, and I will need to fully utilize everything in my disposal in figuring out an effective plan to accomplish my goal.   An update is to follow….

Here is a goal that I am committing to, My combined debt amount is $35,000.00 I am committing to paying off my debt by the beginning of 2008. Which effectively gives me just over 2 1/2 month.

Ambitious – definitely, but many people were able to do this before me based on the numerous autobiographies that I have read. Do I have experience of making that much in that period of time, no. I do however have all the knowledge, tools and resources to make it happened and that is exactly what I am going to do. I will update my progress on this blog.

I will have a plan of action by the end of this week, which I will follow to reach my goal. I am currently not certain on the exact blueprint I will follow to reach it, but will have something definite by the end of the week. I am thinking it might be a combination of online/off line strategy.

Without implementing anything new I believe I can get a steady income of $200/day by modifying the two online products that I currently have. I will need to be making about $700/day by the end of the month to reach my goal. $700 x 60 days = $42,000 which will allow me to pay off the debt and pay for my living/business expenses.

By the end of the week I shall have a plan of how to manifest it.

Goal:

earn $ 42,000 in 2 and 1/2 month

So this is the story that I heard as a child and it stuck. Often it is the only thing that keeps me going when it seems like there is nothing left:

Once upon a time, out in the country there was a jar of fresh milk that was placed outside. It just so happens that two frogs were jumping by and fell into the jar. They were peddling for a while unable to get out of the jar, constantly slipping and unable to grab a hold of anything. That wen on for a while and one of the frogs realizing situation was hopeless said that nothing could be done and stopped peddling, thus effectively drowning. The second frog recognizing the same thing said to itself as long as there is any bit of strength left I will continue peddling for I will do everything that is within my power in this particularly unfortunate situation. So it continued for a while and then, well what happen then is that the second frog from all the vigorous peddling turned the milk into butter and once on a hard surface was easily able to jump out of the jar.
Yes there are moments when improvement and all the other things seem like peddling inside a milk jar, and often I feel like almost giving up, but I don’t for I know that if I stick with it long enough it has no choice but yield results, beyond any imaginable expectations.

Ok so today the topic is presense.  Why specifically that?  Well something that always intrigued me is that presence is someting that is there or not. 

Here is an interesting observation we all encountered people that don’t dress well, yet everyone notices them, people that don’t say much, yet everyone is keenly aware of them, people that would by all regular measures have everything working against them (bad clothes, hair, posture etc…) yet they stand apart from everyone. 

One thing those people do have is PRESENSE  it’s the unspoken thing radiating from the very core of them, just like you can tell that the storm is coming long before it hits this people project a similar filed of sorts around them, you can like them or hate them, but one thing is sure you can’t be indifferent to them.  

So what is this presence and why some have it and some don’t?  Well if you thinking confidence is one of the main components of it you are absolutely corrects.   How does one develope a confidence to that extent?  Well some may say through a lifetime of acheivements and so on, and I think it’s valid but I don’t think it’s the reason, rather it’s a sideeffect.  

Here is what I am thinking, a lion, does he need to be someone or prove something or create something to have a presence that he does?  Absolutely not, he is a king of the jungle period, he does not need to do or prove, he already is.  I beleive that people are also kings of the jungle every single one of us.  You might say if it was so how come we don’t have everyone with presence?  

I say conditioning, it’s  I don’t think to have the Presence you need to learn something, rather unlearn a lot of usless conditioning that a lof of people with the best of intentions have sold you as needed.   Every single person is doing the best they know how with what they have. 

Naturally everyone’s best is different depending mostly on best of the people they happend to spend time with when they were younger, after all we don’t choose our parents, relatives and often a lot of our friends (all though we should).  

 All this people contributed to us and thus imparted us with side-effects of a lot of their fears and otherwise uselss ideas which they thought were valuable and thus imparted them on us  (be a good boy, be likable, play nice)  all good and well in context but unfortunately no one tells which context so we end up using it for everything and hence dont’ get much (as one smart man said if we have a hammer everythign looks like a nail).  

I carried off a bit, so getting back on track.  What is needed to develop presence?   Courage to beleive and faith to beleive in your inner lion and allow it to come out, having strength to discard or at least test our presuppositions and knotions (how many of us still have a inner 6 year old making a great deal of decisions in our life?).   

Have the presence, because you belong in this world, you deserve hapinsess.  How do I know?  The very fact that you are here already implies that  a billion of very unlikely things had to happend in ordrer to create an ultimate outcome resulting in your birth, think about it.

Things are going well. It is interesting to recognize your inner boundaries, the kind that are there and you just can’t seem to get around them as if some unseen leash is keeping you. I know precisely what it is and I know exactly what I need to do to get myself free. It’s preconceived notions and decisions I made consciously or not long time ago, which now unwittingly I am following even though logically I find it’s not what I desire to happened.

Conditioning is definitely a force to be reckoned with, it’s not enough to recognize it (how many people recognize smoking is band and they should quit, but never do) what is needed is massive amounts of actions directed to create a new pattern of behavior, combined with visualization, seeing yourself as already having accomplished desired results or in terms of personality already see yourself as having those traits you choose to have.

It really something that seems to be messing with me at times, as if there was another person within me that is constantly lurking in the shadows and sabotages my efforts, I don’t remember who said that we are our greatest enemies, but they did have a point, except it does not need to be a permanent condition, we can be our greatest ally as well. The plan is to have visualization of desired outcome and affirmation as if what ever I am pursuing is already in my possession and I fully enjoy it’s benefits.

Ok, so based on the research done by some very smart people the average time to develop a new habit is 3 weeks or 21 days.  Developing new habit implies that a person get’s into a particular rhythm of doing something without feeling that they need to force themselves to do it, a feeling where it takes little effort to keep up doing something and to actually start feeling a bit awkward when they don’t follow through.  Often times it’s a very hard thing to do, so thinking about it what does get a person through this barrier? I am thinking it must be heart and genuine desire.  I know that when I “have to” do something or I think doing something is “good for me” most of the time it does not get accomplished.  It does happened most of the time when I truly deeply desire something, everything else takes a back seat, a genuine heart-felt desire to do something with emotional and not logical reasons for wanting to achieve it.  So when I want to accomplish something I find emotional reason for doing it because I am just too skilled at playing and outplaying myself in logical games, where I can just as easily reframe my mind about doing something as I can to make myself avoid it.   I say if you can’t find reasons to do something, don’t waste your time until such a time that you do.  For what ends up happening is you waste a lot of energy and time accomplishing practically nothing just spinning your wheels and getting nowhere.   Find the emotion, find the feeling connect with the internal desires and success will follow suit.
