Be, Do, Have

Most people think the other way, when I have the luxury home and car, executive job, I will then be successful. I say it is the other way, first Be successful in your mind, then do the things so you can have the luxury home and car. You must first be successful in your mind. This goes for anything you want in life. The 'Be'ing comes first. To have a wonderful marriage, you must first BE the perfect partner in you mind.

One of the concepts I got from the book 'Think and Grow Rich' was that nothing in this world just happens, first someone must think about it. You don't just go out and build a house. First there are ideas of what the house should look like, floor plan, etc. Then someone make drawings and plans for building the house. The same goes for your life. First think and be what you want, successful entrepreneur, great marriage, wonderful parent, etc. Then write it down, just thinking is not enough. This is where writing a journal is so helpful. Writing in a journal helps to focus on what your goals and helps to clarify your thoughts. I remember reading somewhere that writing is a mental exercise it helps with getting your thoughts into your subconscious mind. So, writing your thoughts, dreams and goals in a journal will help you to BE what your are striving for.

Amazing company that I am grateful to be in on the ground floor

Book Review: "The Greatest Net worker in the World" by John Milton Fogg

I like instructional books that are written as a story. It seems to make the reading easier. I don't know I am reading and learning. This book is about a network marketer that was about to quit when he meets The Greatest Networker in the World (GNW). He spends the weekend with GNW and learns a lot about himself, and the network marketing business.

One of the things that stood out for me was when GNW talked about how network marketers will put down other network marketing companies. This hurts the whole network marketing industry. People here this and think 'Why would I want to be in network marketing'. I might think that my opportunity is the best in the world, but I will not put down, or insult other companies. One reason is that not every opportunity is the best for everyone. Each individual person needs to decide if the opportunity is right for them, and that might not be mine.

On of the techniques I liked was the 'Movie of my life'. It is a visualization method where you visualize going to a movie that is about myself. I imagine sitting in a theater and watching my accomplishments and adventures on the big screen.

Overall a good book and easy to read. As I said, I like the style of a story for self-help type books.
