Bankruptcy to Millionaire

So you want to be successful? But do you have the attitude that is ABSOLUTELY NECCESARY to have to become a huge success? 90% of you don’t have it, and have no chance of success. Are you in the 10%?

*Keeping mind that 84% of all statistics are made up on the spot. * 90% of people that “want” to be successful in their endeavors are DOOMED from the word “ready” (forget set, go. They’re not even close).

Why?

I’ll explain why in just a second but first let me ask you a question, and I want you to read it OUT LOUD and answer OUT LOUD (as if you are actually talking to me). Worried that someone around you might think you’re crazy? News Flash: They already do. And they’re probably are right… Nevertheless. Answer this:

How are you doing today?

Did you answer out loud? Good! Now what did you say?

There are two classes of answers. And the way you answer is going to play a HUGE part on your overall success. Shocking? Let me explain.

Answer Group #1 The Doomed To Succeed. These people answer with responses like:

• “I’m ok”
• “Fine”
• “Gettin’ By”
• “Makin’ It”
• “Eh, pretty good”
• “Oh, you know how it is…”
• “*exasperated sigh* You wouldn’t BELIEVE the day I’m having”

Answer Group #2 The “Primed For Success” Answers. The people that are open to succeding answer with responses such as:

• “I’m GREAT!”
• “I’m doing fantastic.”
• “Wonderful”
• “*excited tone* You wouldn’t Believe me if I told you!”
• “Terrific”

“Ahhh… Yes, but Tevin this has nothing to do with Success, this is just the way people respond based on their mood” I hear the voices in my head reply (I never said you were the only crazy one…).

For 90% of people, they answer this question based on “how they feel”, for the most part they answer “honestly”. But for the 10% that understand the weight of the question, they do not base their reply on how they “feel” at that exact moment. NO! Instead the ALWAYS reply with an enthusiastic delighted tone.

“Ohhhhh…. I still don’t get it”

You see the weight of this question is goes beyond just a cordial greeting. Sure responding with an enthusiastic delighted tone you won’t come off as an ass-ly curmudgeon. But it’s much more important than this. When you reply to this question with real words. When you say it out loud, you are CONDITIONING your mind to your true emotion.

What does this mean?

Basically, you can only feel one strong emotion at any one time. If you are laughing hystarically, it’s nearly impossible for you to feel depressed. If you’re crying out of depression, it’s nearly impossible for you to feel the euphoria of happiness.

So when you respond “I’m ok.” Your brain will literally make you feel just “ok”.

But even if you are having the WORST day of your life, and you force yourself to put on a huge goofy grin, and say, “You know I’m having a great day.” And you say it with enthusiasm, you act as though you mean it. Guess what, your brain will eventually begin to believe you. If you say it enough, you will feel it.

You will find that speaking positively ALL OF THE TIME will greatly increase your mood, level your emotions, and make you hugely more productive and successful.

How Do I Practice This In My Everyday Life?

I concentrate on speaking ONLY in positives. When someone asks me “how are you doing”. I always respond enthusiastically no matter how I’m REALLY feeling. Because even after my response, I feel better already.

For example:

I know that my goal is to become a MILLIONAIRE in 48 months (starting October 13th 2006). There are plenty of NON BELIEVERS. I am not one of them. There is NO DOUBT in my mind that I will become a millionaire in 48 months. I am positive of that fact.

Are you positive that you’re positive?

This is the beginning of greatness. This blog will serve many purposes. But there are two major objectives I would like to accomplish with this site and blog.

This first is to simply aide in my personal, and financial growth–by holding me accountable to regular and progressive (and entertaining and informative) updates.

I will be sharing my stories of where I am (broke), how I got here; to where I will be going, by sharing EXACTLY what I have done, am doing, and will do over the next 48 months to become a millionaire.

During this process of my personal transformation, I also to help inspire, inform, and motivate my readers to accomplish greatness along side me.

The idea is simple: Lead by example.

The journey and the outcome will not be.

This site also starts out simple and bare. It will continue to grow and evolve as I do.

As WE do.

As I write this I have no readers. No subscribers. No customers. And no money.

This will change. And rapidly. Due to one common theme:

MASSIVE ACTION

Because nothing great can ever, or will ever be accomplished without Massive Action. Not just fiddling with one idea. Tinkering. Playing. Changing. NO! You must make a plan and take one step after the other after the other after the other. And NOT give up until success is achieved.

Over the next several days. I will be updating not only with regular blog posts. But also updating the sidebar on the left with Inspirations & Motivators, other great blogs, and recommended reading.

Which brings me to what I am going to do to take action. I commit to reading at least 1 hour a day, everyday, of something informative, inspirational, or educational. I am going to start with:

Think and Grow Rich (<-right click save-as to download your own copy) by Napoleon Hill

A book recommended by virtually every successful person on the planet. I have read bits and pieces. But I commit to reading this as my first book on to begin my Lifelong Adventure toward Ultimate Success.I’ve learned that nothing will ever change in MY life, unless I make a conscious and concerted effort to bring about change. And the best time to make a change is now. Not tomorrow, or “soon”. But NOW. So today I decide to read 1 hour, each day.WHAT THIS BLOG WILL NOT BE

• A shameless promotional tool for internet scams or business opportunities
• MLM marketing
• Boring
• Plagued with advertising
• A list builder for spam
• Filled with old and outdated information to turn a profit
• Written by a character based on hyperbole or someone fake. (What is written on these pages will be blatantly me. Possilbly even to a fault sometimes.)
• Written by someone who talks the talk but doesn’t walk the walk
• A vehicle to make money by selling information on “How to Sell Information on the Internet to Make Money” (that’s been done by people much greater than I)

I will not be doing any of that! But that’s not to say that if on occasion I come across a resource I find valuable that I won’t post an affiliate link to it. I may very well do exactly that. But my objective is not to peddle useless products to turn a profit in this blog. But to provide true value, by taking you step by step through my Journey.

That is also not to say that I will NEVER place an ad on the site/blog. If I begin to generate enough traffic I may put up a targeted banner, or a small “classified” on the side bar. But that BS where the page is cluttered from top to bottom with ads cutting up the content.

NO THANKS!

So that’s it for now. Feel free to bookmark and checkback often. I will soon have an opt-in list to give you a quick email update when there is a new blog post. Have a great weekend! And feel free to post your ideas, and thoughts in the comments section.
