Operation GREEN BEAST

[Eli]

Mkay, SO it's time that I started my journal. I think that they are awesome, but in a very non " high school girlish " way of course. They help keep me focused and responsible, at the same time bringing to the table some much needed clarity.

Onwards yo.

I have been looking at old journals that I had when I was successful in other areas in my life to try and see what exactly was the process I took to get to the goal, especially at the beginning so I could replicate it with money since it had already proven what worked for me ( as well as NOT worked ). I finally had some ideas.

First thing was this. I had made a DECISION to be successful. Here is the definition I had wrote in one of my journals.

DECISION:

The removal of choice.
Clarity and firmness of purpose.

Let me take my goal to get ripped for example.... I had made the decision, I would not except anything else but to do the things that would get me to my goal. No matter how hard my friends tried, I would not drink with them at the bar, or eat some garbage before the bar. One of my good friends said I need to " cheat " every once in a while. Eli does not understand this " cheat meal " nonsense. There was no grey area on the way to my goal. I took the " removal of choice " VERY SERIOUSLY. There was nothing that my friends could do to get me to cheat on my diet or not go to the gym even for one day. I mean hell, the gym was closed on thanksgiving so I ran a 5k and ate only turkey on friggin thanksgiving. Who does that? It got so bad that when I was with my friends they knew we better be going somewhere where I can get healthy food or they have some on them in fear of being smitten.

First thing I need to do then is make the " decision ".

Second thing I noticed. When I was dieting and working out I had one rule. JUST SHOW UP. That was how I judged if I was successful or not for the day. I didnt miss a single day in the time that it took me to hit my goal. Not once. Even when I was sick and coughing up a lung I still showed up one day and at least walked on the treadmill for 10 minutes before I thought I was going to die and left. I was successful though cause I showed up when everyone else would have stayed home and watched " Sex In The City " reruns. The interesting thing about this was that if I would just show up regardless if I wanted to or not, I would get there and just effing crush it. Its like " well I'm here, might as well make it worth it. There is a lot of power in something so basic.

Second thing for me to do than is follow the new " 10 minutes a day, everyday " rule. I know it will be a great asset in the way of building up MASSIVE momentum, which in my opinion is a very overlooked principle in the success in any area business. Momentum is king yall!

In conclusion, I will now work on my business for at least 10 minutes a day EVERYDAY.


As far as " making the decision " that has to come naturally or I find it isn't as strong. My other goals it came naturally, it was like one day I was just so sick and tired of not being there that my brain lit up and was like " hey self, THIS IS HAPPENING ". From that day on that is how I went after it. I am looking to make that " genuine decision " as it were, rather than the durrrr this is what I believe I am to do, so erm yeaaaaah.

Annnnnywho, I plan on writing in said journal at least a few times a week.


Eli out....

You clearly have the drive and motivation to be in the fast lane. Good luck and welcome!

[Eli]

Aye thanks Calgary!

So finally I got some work done. What I found was some what disappointing but whatevs onward. I chose to build a website on nutrition, however I am just not feeling it. It doesn't feel fastlane to me. I started on it before reading TMF and now after, I can definitely see some serious holes in what I was thinking. I could make it work but meh. It just doesnt feel right. Not to mention I was just not that excited about it, no bueno...

Now its time to put my thinkin cap back on and pay attention to the world and come up with some other stuff.

Word.

That's the spirit! It's good that you weren't ignorant and thinking that your idea is the ONLY idea. You'll have to do a lot of thinking and look at your idea in multiple perspectives. Good job on finding the problems as many people have trouble finding any. LOL.

I have never been one to only look at one side of things. I always look for the good AND bad in anything. The whole " nutrition idea " was based on PASSION and not necessarily business. When I originally did the search there was actually not a whole lot of supply, ( which to me was surprising ) but a good amount of demand on the certain keyword I was researching, however I am just not " feeling it ". There is another keyword out there that has a lot of demand and no supply that I may think about going after, but at least as of right now I just don't see it making enough money to realize my goals. I am new at this though and possibly after I learn some stuff I could make it massively profitable, but I just can't see it right now.

On another note...

I have been practicing " finding ideas ". At first it was kind of hard, but once my mind started going it was cake and I came up with 10 in just a half hour or so. That was cool and what I like about it most is that if you have a LOT of ideas it puts you in an abundance mindset so if one idea doesn't pan out, its not that hard to say " well that one is no bueno " and move on to the next. You don't become so emotionally involved with one certain idea and can focus on the one that is actually going to work like you hope. I am going to spend the next few days just coming up with ideas and see what happens.

Also, an interesting thing happened to me today. While at work I met a MASSIVELY successful real estate investor. ( I work at a gym btw selling memberships etc ). She invited me to come over and share some ideas with me. Whats awesome is I meet people like this ALL the time. After having spent the last few years working exclusively on my social skills, meeting people from all walks of life has become incredibly easy and become very valuable for not only me but them as well. I thought today about writing an article or something on how I go about doing it. I think everyone could use some epic social skill tips.

Anywho, its midnight and I need to spend the next couple hours brainstorming ideas. ( I wasn't kidding when I said I would work at LEAST 15 minutes a day on this ) Night gangsters.
