The majority of you that are reading this article might be feeling this way about your 2011 goals.
I don't want to waste your time or beat you up with a number of possible reasons why you haven't been able to accomplish the majority of your goals in 2011 so I'm going to cut to the chase...
You haven't succeeded financially or in life because...YOU DON'T THINK YOU DESERVE IT!
Yes I said it...YOU DON'T THINK YOU DESERVE IT!
Now I'm not going to throw stones without throwing some at myself first. When I was 18 years old (I'm 43 now) I had an opportunity of a lifetime. I was very interested in real estate investing and back in the early 80's there were real estate seminars all over the place especially in Texas.
I went to all of them! I've meet Tom Hopkins, Tom Vu, Ed Beckley, Dave DelDotto, Mike and Irene Milin and many others at these seminars. Just like you are now I wanted to get rich quick and real estate was the big thing back then.
Well after investing in books and buying expensive home study courses (1 from Ed Beckley $250.00 I had to bribe my grandmother to buy it for me). I was greatly disappointed with the information I received.
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAIT THERE'S MORE (The Title of a great infomercial book I've read) It wasn't the information it was me. I didn't think I deserved to be successful.
To prove my point even more I got my grandmother to give me $1,500 to get trained one on one by a Mexican guy how was a big time real estate investor on how to invest in real estate. As I sat in his office he recorded our meetings and I took notes. I could ask him anything without being embarrassed because it was only us two in the room.
He even showed me exactly how to go to the court house and find properties from people that were getting divorced (that was his specialty) and how to take over the payments on the property and sell the equity for a quick profit. (Note: in the 80's you could assume loans now you can't do that.)
I would watch him do this and people would just sign their deeds over to him and he would have the property either rented out or sold to another investor within a month.
But when my training was over and he cut me loose I didn't even follow through on what he taught me.
Subconsciously "I didn't think I really deserved it".
I can remember one of our last conversations at his office when he got tired of me making excuses about why I hadn't purchased any properties. He said.."what are you going to do join the Army or something."
I didn't have the guts to tell him that I had already joined! As I look back at my life yes I've made excuses for a lot of things and that's normal for all of us, but there are times that I made excuses because I truly believed either consciously or subconsciously that "I DIDN'T DESERVE IT".
My gift to you is that you DO DESERVE IT! The only thing you have to do is set aside your fears don't get rid of your fears, just acknowledge them and tell yourself that "I'll just do it and allow the outcome to materialize what ever it maybe".
Let go of having to know all the details!
Let go of having to have it perfect!
Let go of believing other people's doubts about you!
Let go of having to know the outcome!
REMEMBER YOU'LL GET EXACTLY OR CLOSE TO WHAT YOU EXPECT! So if you consciously try to succeed in your business, BUT you subconsciously DON'T THINK YOU DESERVE IT...You'll Fail Guaranteed!
But I don't have to tell you that right?
Here's my #1 goal for the 2012 - I will employ 1,000 reps with a new online technology that my company utilizes to provide customer service to my clients.
Tell me what are your goals for 2012?
