OUR BLOG

Some people are blessed to know what they want to do with their lives from an early age. Then there are those among us who never quite figure out what we want to do and which interests we want to seriously pursue “when we grow up.” And so, we grow just a little bit older every year without having found our calling, our true passion in life. And that’s a shame, because doing what you love and loving what you do is such a big part of being deep-down happy and fulfilled.

Some people make choices easily … even impulsively. Others suffer over life’s decisions, intent on keeping their options open … until time forecloses on each possibility, one by one. The chance to grab the brass ring slips away, not because we were lazy or because we tried and failed, but because we were frozen into indecision and inaction by fear and doubt and uncertainty.

2015 is almost gone. Pretty soon you’ll hear people talking about their New Year’s resolutions. You know, all the stuff they say they’re going to do, but rarely act on, much less accomplish … and would be hard-pressed to even remember by March!

Want to do something different, something that’ll have a far greater positive impact?

You were hoping things would work out the way you wanted them to … the way you’d pictured them working out. But they didn’t. And now you’re disappointed. You’re discouraged. We all go through that experience. It’s part of being human.

So, what’s the problem? That you allowed yourself to have high hopes in the first place? Absolutely not. Abundant life isn’t possible without abundant hope.

And yet, many people react to that feeling of disappointment and discouragement so strongly that they swear they’ll never put themselves in a position to be “hurt again.” They resolve to never love again, never put themselves at risk for financial loss again, never leave themselves vulnerable to rejection in their work ever again.

How many times have you said it? “I just don’t have the time” to do x, y, or z?

My guess is plenty. We all say it. We just say it about different things.

I’ve noticed my clients saying it a lot lately, especially around doing the things they need to do in their businesses.

And, for what it’s worth, I’m not buyin’ it.

Always. Every time.

That’s what really conscientious and dedicated professionals in any field seek to achieve. They want to always perform at their best and do a great job … every time.

That’s an admirable and indispensable mindset if you’re going to be really good at what you do.

That said, I don’t care who you are or how hard you try, some days are just gonna be better than others. And stuff happens.

I just made three videos of myself speaking to an audience. And I want to share with you what I learned from the experience.

Okay, so let’s start with the finished product in mind.

What do you want to end up with? How long should it be?

When I was 5 years old, we went on the first vacation I can remember. Our family didn’t vacation a lot, so this was a really big deal. There was only one catch.

You’ll notice I have a brand new video for business owners on the home page of this site, as well as two other newly produced pieces of video.

And we’ve got a truly valuable free gift waiting for you.

Actually, what I have to say in this newsletter will be more meaningful once you’ve seen what we’ve done. So, go ahead, take three minutes and see what you think.

MasterMind groups have been around for more than 75 years, since Napoleon Hill popularized the concept in his book, Think and Grow Rich!

You might ask … Why would a billionaire like Andrew Carnegie need a MasterMind group? In his words:

This’ll be the last newsletter we put out together under the Business BreakThrough Institute banner.

We’re going through some BIG changes.
