Why Are You Not Successful Yet?
Joseph Demasi

It may seem like a stupid question. Is it really? Are you supposed to have the answer? Is it really all in your own control? What about the company, the payplan, your sponsor? Don't they have some responsibility in all this?

I will put it this way- It is 10% other things (sponsor, company, payplan,etc) and 90% YOU!

Give me an excuse that I have not heard and I will send you $100. really I mean it. What is holding you back from making a decision or moving forward toward your goals? Let's face it, we all want something more in our lives, or else you would not be here reading this. You would not be looking, but the problem is that's all that some people do is look. They never take action, they never complete what they start. people feel great about themselves that they actually took the step of looking, and then they decide "it's just not for me."

What is NOT FOR YOU? - is it the bigger house, newer car, getting yourself out of debt? That is the bottom line after all. What is it that you want? Someone I admire in this business, kind of a mentor to me, told me one day after I had said these words to him- "sounds great and I can really see the potential, but it really isn't for me"- he said: "what's not for you? making more money, wanting more for your family?"

It hit me at that point, what he was really saying to me was- do you really want those things you told me you wanted or are they just on your wish list and you are hoping Santa can bring them on Christmas... bottom line- WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?

Think of the last time you got something you really wanted. A big screen TV, that new car, money to repair the roof, new tires for the car, a new computer- you get the point. What did you do to get it? You see, if you really want something you can always find a way to get it. There is always a way, if you value it enough. Again, WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT?

Do you really want it or just want it a little? Well, you just don't have the money... Have a Garage Sale- you could easily make a few hundred dollars selling all the crap you are saving in your garage. You are just not into (fill in the blank) ie: nutrition, e-books, health & wellness, marketing systems, computers. Whatever you can think of. It just doesn't turn you on.

Those are just excuses, an excuse is a way for you to feel better about your circumstances, because at least you are trying, you are actually looking. You may not be doing, but you have really good reasons. Excuses steal your dreams!

YOU ARE AFRAID- THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE!!! All the excuses lead to this, there is a fear associated with doing something different, something new- stepping out there. It is normal... and everyone goes through it. BUT... until the thing that you want is bigger than your fear, you will not succeed.

The economy is bad right now and everyone can agree on that. However, people are still making money and some people are making a lot of money, in fact there are people out there right now that are having their best year ever! - How is that possible? I hear on the news that everyone is in trouble, people are losing their homes and their jobs, it's another depression- THE SKY IS FALLING!

The one thing I can tell you is -DON'T WATCH THE NEWS! - It will depress you.

Believe while others .. By William Arthur Ward

Believe while others are doubting.
Plan while others are playing.
Study while others are sleeping.
Decide while others are delaying.
Prepare while others are daydreaming.
Begin while others are procrastinating.
Work while others are wishing.
Save while others are wasting.
Listen while others are talking.
Smile while others are frowning.
Commend while others are criticizing.
Persist while others are quitting.

Your future is in your hands- you have the ability to make it whatever you want. Dare to dream and soar like an Eagle- because you can!
