Step Right Up Hurry, Hurry, Hurry¦I was meeting with a potential client this past week and after he completed his application to get into my Platinum Private Coaching Group he was asking me some questions. One of the questions he asked was “Why do I think most people are not successful¦ This is a VERY good question. My answer, with no hesitation was¦ “Because most people are just like water¦they follow the path of least resistance¦
In the circus world that we all live in -The carnival barker is yelling¦ “Step Right Up¦but most people are taking the path of least resistance and choosing NOT to step right up. They prefer to watch the side show featuring “The coulda, Woulda, Shouldas Why? Because The Polar Ice Cap Is Melting. You may be saying “Where did you get that answer from? Well, the truth is a bad excuse is just as good as a good excuse so what makes the difference? An excuse is an excuse no matter how you spell it. The excuse gives you the way out of taking personal responsibility. It IS the path of least resistance. Absolving personal responsibility is in our very nature. It goes back to The Garden of Eden when Adam basically said¦.and Im paraphrasing¦but he said ¦ “God it was you! It was what YOU gave me that made me do this ¦ So there, Ive given you another excuse for not taking responsibility. Its not your fault¦its in your nature. Right?
But, fortunately, some of you realize that this is absolute HOGWASH! In fact, some of you have already got your act together and have your marketing machine ‘printing’ money and even jumped into the information marketing business (which is another sign of a very smart business person!)
Now the REAL question at hand is: “Are these people more gifted? The answer is clear. NO.
They are simply the people who are taking action. Actually, “Accurate Action Hmmm, Sound familiar?
This is basically the same message I’ve shared at our local events as well as the same message that I share when I’m flown in as a speaker, but the reason Im sharing this message again is because MOST people are still acting like ‘water instead of the empowered and talented wealth creating leaders that they know they really are.
So in short¦When you stop taking the path of least resistance and when you stop making excuses is when you will START making the money you deserve. Its easy to say “no and do the same thing. But when you see your fellow entrepreneurs and salespeople’s checks¦and trust me, they will be showing you the BIG checks¦dont say you dont know how to do this¦just blame it on Adam and Eve or just blame it on the Polar Ice Cap Melting. At least you’ll know that Gore will back you up on this one.

Taking the different and seemingly more difficult path also differentiates you from other more run of the mill types.

Jim,
You are very right and I’m sure you also realize that this proper path also gives you a ‘shield’ against your competition because they will not follow this path.
