Decisions plus action equals results

My strategic business coach John Di Lemme teaches this principle again and again, because it is so very true. Each time I hear it I am at a different level and received something different. As you build your home business you learn and grow; habits, procedures and you the person change.

A new business acquaintance asked me “If you started from the beginning again what would you have done differently knowing what you know now?”

The answer will surprise you because it has nothing to do with the skill of building a business, it has to do with the skill of building me. What I would do differently is more personal development; reading more books, listening to more CD’s and doing all of the exercises all the teachers suggest. Learning to create the daily process to create new results and to start each day with expectation.

My results are My Fault – Your results are Your Fault.

By the time you are 7 years old you have been told – NO – STOP – DON’T at least 17 million times. It comes from anyone you interact with; family, friends, teachers. Your brain has been programmed.

Unfortunately the default setting created is one of doubt instead of hope. We all have default settings; you can make a DECISION to change yours. The most profitable decisions you will ever make are the most challenging. And it is not just money decisions. What is your #1 problem – only you can make decision to change direction and change your default.

The husband of an acquaintance told me that her husband was told “Jean Paul stop it” so many times when he was a kid that when people asked him his name he said “Jean Paul StopIt”.

“I will never be where I want to be without making the decision to change” the enemy, the default is fear – your default setting equals fear; remember 17 million times is a lot of reinforcement. Whatever you need to change – YOU need to make the decision the first, it is not the first step but the decision to take the step which MUST come first!

The next step is to start re-programming your default:

1) with positive words, choosing the words for the behaviour you want rather than what you don’t want. Examples would be:

remember vs forget

my pleasure vs no problem (YIPES a double negative)

be happy vs don’t worry

2) Watch motivational movies where people are accomplishing their dreams. My recommendations are movies to watch; Facing The Giants, Akeela and the Bee, Miracle, Rocky, Coach Carter and Glory Road. There are many more out there, these are my favorites. Watching these movies over and over and over will change your life

“I need to create my hope process”, I made a decision to changes peoples lives. I see too many people stuck in the rut of getting a job, working 40 years and not having enough money to retire comfortably. People who decide to change their default are making decisions building business. The economy is ripe right now, more millionaires will be created in the next 5 years than ever before and I believe you are meant to live an abundant life.

Ask yourself:

“What do I need to do today?” …

To re-create results in your life personal development and associations are absolutely necessary. Associate with a championship team as you build your home business. Surround yourself with like minded people, simply a decision and a decision takes a second to make and a lifetime to develop & implement.
