..And control of your marketing machine translates into control of your income and the creation of your wealth.
I say all the time…”if you can market…nothing else matters and if you can’t market…Nothing else matters” so you taking control of EVERYTHING by taking responsibility for EVERYTHING is crucial and this mindset brings on some additional benefits…
#1) FOCUS – When you realize that the ‘buck’ starts or stops with you it brings a tremendous amount of focus to the success equation. There are a number of reasons for this, but mainly being just like water follows the path of least resistence our own human tendency is to point the finger and blame others for a failure.
(Side note but very important: The reason behind that is the error of thinking that if we failed then we are a failure so to avoid this label the natural response is to push the blame. Reality is that failure is an EVENT and NOT a person. You may want to re-read that last sentence…it is empowering and liberating once completely understood)
When you have nobody to point the blame towards because of ownership of the ‘it’s ALL my fault’ philosophy then your focus becomes a hyper-focus and like a laser you cut through the ‘riff raff’ and get things accomplished that really matter.
2) Emotional benefit. Let me explain. You may not want to admit this, but the reality is you can stay mad at somebody else longer than you can stay mad at yourself. So if you are blaming somebody else you’ll stay angry longer and your negativity has a tendency to get ‘sprayed’ onto other projects and other people. BUT, if you take the blame, you just won’t stay ‘frosted’ at yourself for long. So the negative ‘spraying’ is limited and the positive energy is multiplied instead of the negative.(To be continued…)

Wow, right to the ‘heart of the matter’. It is so easy to put the blame for anything going wrong on everyone but the real culprit — yourself.
I was always told that when you point your finger at someone else, you have 3 pointing back at you! If you want to see the reason for either your success or failure, you don’t have to look any further than in the mirror!
People that are in trouble with their mortgages invariably look for someone else to blame, but many times they need to look within.
Granted, there has been that giant sucking sound, and a lot of jobs have been outsourced, and all at once that person that has been paying his mortgage and credit card payments on time, finds themselves in a situation that they don’t want to be…
But — we live in a land of opportunity, and there is something that can be domne or undertaken to turn your world right-side-up!
Before you get to that situation, you need to go to http://www.TheMortgageInterestEliminator.com and get set free!!
No one can defeat us unless we defeat ourselves!!
