RACKETS

Rackets…Excerpts from Accept your Abandance

Greg was very agitated, and it was obvious in his voice over the phone. “Randy, you say you’re a good Christian, but you’re always judging me and others. You’re so rich now; you forgot what it’s like to struggle. You forget that others didn’t have the same chance as you. God has blessed you and now you’re forgetting about the people less fortunate than you.”

I took a deep breath and I smiled to myself. I couldn’t help but notice the humor in Greg going back to the well with this old standby again. And why not? It had worked with me many times before.

But not this time…

Because this time I had my Star Trek universal translator fired up so even though Greg spoke the words you see above – this is what I heard:

“Randy, I’m going to take your belief in Christianity and use it against you. I have made many foolish decisions, not the least of which is I knocked up a girl, didn’t pay child support, called in sick a lot so I got fired from a couple of places, and ran my car into the ground, so it doesn’t run. While you were working 70 hours a week, I was just doing enough to get by, so I could watch six hours of television a night and ten hours a day on weekends.

“Now you have things and I don’t. Your life is working and mine isn’t.

“By talking about Christianity, I’m hoping to manipulate your emotions and make you feel guilty. If I can make you feel guilty enough – you’ll “lend” me another loan, which you and I both know, will never be paid back, just like the last three weren’t. By presenting the good decisions, sacrifice and hard work you did as ‘luck,’ or ‘breaks,’ I will try to make you feel that life treated me unfair, and attempt to mooch from you some of what you’ve earned.”

OK, let me level with you. Captain Kirk did not lend me his Universal Translator. I understood what Greg was really saying because I speak fluent “racket-speak.”

Now I’m embarrassed to tell you that I know the language so well because I used to be the biggest racketeer of all. And make no mistake – the situation I have just described is a racket. It is the way addicts, parasites and drama queens use you, to bail them out of the bad decisions they have made.

And it usually works!

How often do you put yourself in the company of people who challenge your beliefs and expand your concept of what abundance is?

I have lived a life that demonstrates the power of achieving prosperity like few others ever have. I have gone from sickness to abundant health. I have transformed myself from a dishwasher in a pancake house to a multi-millionaire. And I have grown from someone contemplating suicide, to living a joyful life of happiness and fulfillment.

That metamorphosis was the result of a number of factors. Changing my beliefs, spending time in daily self-development, learning how the laws of prosperity work, and other things. But the underlying element that drove ALL of these things was that I changed the people in my life.

In my case, I changed where I lived, and where I worked. I stopped hanging out with my victim friends.

Little about prospecting

As I was “getting started” in network marketing, I can remember the many conversations I had with people who lacked belief.

I remember how skeptical they were and I remember thinking that if only I could give them “the right” information, surely they’d see what a great opportunity they had in front of them and come on board!

What I didn’t understand back then was that I was investing in prospects who lacked belief. Not belief in my opportunity, but rather belief in themselves.

Things turned around when I began focusing on prospects who already had belief. Belief in who they were, belief in their capabilities. Belief that they could succeed in a business of their own. Belief in entrepreneurship.

If you seek out people who already HAVE belief, the sponsoring process becomes much simpler and more fluid.

Such individuals will READ or LISTEN to the material you give them, and they don’t need to be convinced… they will convince themselves.

Where do you find such prospects?

They’re the ones who’ve already accomplished great things in their lives. They may be someone you know who owns their own successful business. Someone who “stuck with it” and completed their college education despite challenges. Or someone who pursued their dreams in life against the advice of well meaning family members who “couldn’t see outside of the box”.

Look for people who aren’t afraid to “Zig” when everyone else says to “Zag”. People with resolve. People who are bold or at the very least, tenacious and won’t let go of what they really want in life.

Trust me, they’re out there.

If you stop and think, I’m betting a few will come to mind. If not, then keep your eyes open. Once you learn to recognize them, you’ll start seeing people like this nearly every day as you live your life.

When you see one, strike up a conversation. Get to know them a little and when the time’s right, ask them if they’re open to learning more about a good money making idea.

Their answer may surprise you!

For the newcomers in Team

I get a call at least once per week from a person in my downline with the same question.

"How do I build my business?"

My response is always the same.

"The HOW part is easy; I can teach you HOW to build it. But why do you WANT to build it in the first place? This is the real question."

You see, when your WHY is strong enough, the HOW part will take care
of itself.

"How?", you ask(again). It's simple.

You follow a system.

A System is a way of doing business that yields predictable results.

The key then, is to follow it as closely as possible.

Do what others are doing. And stick with it long enough to get good
at it.

Typical question: "How do you get good at it?"

First, you get good at "you", then, the rest will be a piece of cake.

Yes, you must work more on yourself than on your business.

Some people must literally BRAINWASH themselves in order to get away from the person they are today, in order to become the person that it will take for them to become successful tomorrow.

This means reading books, listening to CDs, modeling and mentoring with successful people who have what you want, getting personal coaching if you require it, and of course, investing in yourself repeatedly, to continue to reap the rewards of being a new you.

This is the BIGGEST Factor in your success, hands down!

Look, you have a choice when the going gets tough.

Either become bitter and blame everyone else for your lack of results, or develop character, grow from the experience and move
onward and upward.

It's your choice. Only you hold the keys to your success.

Tale of success and failure

I was thinking the other day about success and
how it applies to us as individuals.

I mean, we're all pretty much the same, aren't
we?

Dissect a Donald Trump or an Einstein, and
you'll find nothing remarkable to distinguish
them from any other human being on this
wonderful planet.

And then I remembered this tale, which kind of
explains it all:

A long time ago in a remote valley, there
lived a farmer. One day he got tired of the
daily routine of running the farm and
decided to climb the cliffs that brooded
above the valley to see what lay beyond.

He climbed all day until he reached a ledge
just below the top of the cliff; there, to
his amazement was a nest, full of eggs.

Immediately he knew they were eagle's eggs
and, even though he knew it was profoundly
unecological and almost certainly illegal,
he carefully took one and stowed it in his
pack; then seeing the sun was low in the
sky, he realized it was too late in the day
to make the top and slowly began to make his
way down the cliff to his farm.

When he got home he put the egg in with the
few chickens he kept in the yard. The mother
hen was the proudest chicken you ever saw,
sitting atop this magnificent egg; and the
cockerel couldn't have been happier.

Sure enough, some weeks later, from the egg
emerged a fine, healthy egret. And as is in
the gentle nature of chickens, they didn't
balk at the stranger in their midst and
raised the majestic bird as one of their
own.

So it was that the eagle grew up with its
brother and sister chicks. It learned to do
all the things chickens do: it clucked and
cackled, scratching in the dirt for grits
and worms, flapping its wings furiously,
flying just a few feet in the air before
crashing down to earth in a pile of dust and
feathers.

It believed resolutely and absolutely it was
a chicken.

One day, late in its life, the
eagle-who-thought-he-was-a-chicken happened
to look up at the sky. High overhead,
soaring majestically and effortlessly on the
thermals with scarcely a single beat of its
powerful golden wings, was an eagle!

'What's that?!', cried the old eagle in awe.
'It's magnificent! So much power and grace!
It's beautiful!'.

'That's an eagle', replied a nearby chicken,
'That's the King of the Birds. It's a bird
of the air... not for the likes of us. We're
only chickens, we're birds of the earth'.

With that, they all cast their eyes
downwards once more and continued digging in
the dirt.

And so it was that the eagle lived and died
a chicken... because that's all it believed
itself to be.

See, we're not really born chickens or eagles,
predestined to fail or succeed. We are all
about as successful as we DECIDE to be, aren't
we? We become what we think about.

It's about YOU seeing YOURSELF now as the
eagle you are; it's about raising your eyes
and seeing what you can become and BELIEVING
you can become it. It's about YOU learning the
simple yet incredibly powerful secrets the
business eagles you see all around you are
using day-in, day-out to effortlessly fuel the
fires of their incredible and inevitable
success.

Just one last thing: you weren't born a chicken
OR an eagle. You make your own mind up about
that. Chicken, eagle... it's a result of your
own choices and decisions.

It DOESN'T matter where you are now or what
state your business is in; what matters is
your CHOICE. If you choose not to decide,
you're still choosing.

So the ONLY question you should be asking
yourself right now is what will you choose?

To grub in the dirt, fighting and flapping for
a share of scarce rewards; or to SOAR where
the rewards are richer, the air is cleaner and
the warm sun beats down on you from a clear
blue sky?

Victim’s mentality nice one............ (From the book Accept your Abundance)

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and he eats for a lifetime. Teach a victim how to fish and he’ll sit in a boat and drink beer all day!

Ever heard your friends telling i am in this situation because things went wrong, i missed the interview, I'm unlucky, etc, etc. Here's excerpts from my favorite book Accept your Abundance

-----------------------------------Ever heard your friends telling i am in this situation because things went wrong, i missed the interview, I'm unlucky, etc, etc.Here's excerpts from my favorite book Accept your Abundance
If that job was so important to your life, you should have left 45 minutes earlier. But victims don’t think that way. And when you spend too much time around victims, you start to think like they do.

Don’t get me wrong. I would love nothing better than to see Greg and all my other "victim" friends become prosperous. But I can’t drag then across the finish line. And you can’t do it with your friends either. The best thing you can do is limit your exposure to them when they want to be a victim, and support them when they are wiling to make a real effort to grow their consciousness.

It doesn’t serve you to drown in despair with them.

I think the problem he and many other people face is that deep down on a subconscious level, he feels unworthy of those blessings. The problem as I see it is not that he doesn’t believe in God’s love – it is that he feels he is unworthy of that love.

And that is an issue for millions of people.

Yes lots of rich people check into rehab clinics. That’s because they can afford them! Have you seen the price of a rehab stay?

Poor people OD and kill themselves every day. In fact, a lot more of them than rich people. You just don’t see it on CNN, because most people aren’t interested in what happens to some broke bricklayer. "The poor bloke blew his brains out. What a shame. Can you pass the mashed potatoes please?"

But if we learn that someone rich and famous blew his brains out – that’s good news! Because it feeds our subconscious programming that it is spiritual to be poor, and those rich people are just getting their just desserts.

This Seeker’s Bible goes on to talk about people’s tendency to want bigger and better. It says, "You would think after earning their first million, people would be satisfied – but it never happens. They make a thousand and they want two thousand. A million, five million. Five million, twenty million – and so on."

It goes on to quote King Solomon, "Just as Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so human desire is never satisfied." And then someone named Joy Davidson, who says, "Living for his own pleasure is the least pleasurable thing a man can do; if his neighbor doesn’t kill him in disgust, he will die slowly of boredom and powerlessness."

Now we’re getting to the stuff that religion does better than anyone. Guilt!

You have a thousand and you want two thousand? You greedy bugger. You should be ashamed of yourself! Will you never be satisfied?

In another quote from "The Seeker’s Bible," it says, "The Bible clearly identifies our serious problem as sin. Sin is not just an act but the actual nature of our being. In other words, we are not sinners because we sin. Rather, we sin because we are sinners! We are born with a nature to do wrong...We are not basically good – we are basically sinful. This sinfulness spills out into everything we do."

Yeesh! What a belief that is! Now can you imagine how you will feel about yourself – and becoming prosperous – if you are raised believing that? Imagine the subliminal programming of hearing preaching like that over a period of years.

What would you think if I told you that this continuous desire for more comes from your Spiritual nature – and not your ‘groveling sorry sinner who will rot and burn in Hell with gnashing of teeth’ nature? What if I told you that it is "Divine Dissatisfaction" that keeps you growing, developing, and attaining a higher level of consciousness?

And this is not to say that only having material things will make you happy. They won’t. You have to have people you want to share them with. And you must be spiritually grounded. But the point I want you to really get, is that having a desire for these things is not bad – it’s Divine! It’s what drives you to reach higher and do more, which moves you to a higher level of consciousness!
So why might you not be accepting all the abundance that is meant for you?

Because you’ve been programmed that money is bad, rich people are evil, and it is spiritual to be poor. And this programming started when you were an infant.

If you are overweight and out of shape, it’s good to know that those who are very thin aren’t necessarily happy. Because let’s face it, that would really be too much. If we knew that they were thin and happy – that might be more than we can bear.

Most people spend all day parroting useless information they were programmed from gossip and the various media outlets. As much as we love them, some of our best friends can unwittingly be our worst enemies just by being themselves. They'll talk about how bad the economy is, the latest train wreck they heard about on the news, someone's heart attack, or who's cheating on whom. You need to make sure that people do not sabotage your philosophy of abundance.

If you have ever heard me present my "Conquer Self-Doubt, Create Destiny" keynote speech, then you’ve heard me talk about the movie "Titanic." This is probably the most evil movie ever made; programming you on level after level that money is bad, rich people are evil, and it is spiritual to be poor. So of course it became the most popular movie of all time.

As I dug deeper into the research, I came up with another core motivation. I believe that manifesting difficult challenges is simply another way to hold on to being a victim! We create more challenges because it allows us to get sympathy from others, we have an excuse for failure, and we don’t have to feel responsible for not succeeding. It’s the ultimate cop-out.

It allows us to lie to ourselves. We figure that no one can say we didn’t give it our best shot. We can say," I gave it my all but I: didn’t have the connections/was from the wrong side of the tracks/am the wrong color/don’t have the education required." It is a built in validation for a life of mediocrity.

Interesting

To understand mind programming, let us consider how the conscious mind and the sub-conscious mind work. The conscious mind is like a watchman and the sub-conscious mind is like a store-room. The watchman has no intelligence on his own. He behaves on the information in the store.
Mind programming means putting information into the store without the knowledge of the watchman.
Suppose you tell yourself that "you are good at study". And the store has stored other people's comments such as "you are stupid, you can not succeed". The watchman sees your sentences and compares it with the knowledge in its store and says "this information is wrong". The watchman throws this new information away. He does not put the new positive information in the store. This is the fundamental difficulty in changing behavior of a person.

Times for network marketers?

Times are getting tough.

Turn on a TV and you get bombarded
with bad news.

No money in the market people clinging to theirs jobs.
Banks not giving loans.
Sensex all time low.

With all the bad news out there, it's
got many network marketers wondering
how they're going to be able to find
anyone to join them in their business.

I sincerely hope YOU are not thinking
like this! I hope YOU are not wondering how you're going to survive.

IF So...

Time for an ATTITUDE check,
because this is a time to THRIVE.

Now I can hear some of you saying...
"I've talked to 10 people this week and between the price of living, and everything going on, everyone's broke.

Ya Think?

Listen... there's always gonna be broke
people out there - and I'm not talking
about financially.. I'm talking about people with a BROKE MINDSET.

If that's the kind of people you're finding, then you're attracting the wrong people, and you'll want to look at what you're focused on because I guarantee you - if you're focused on the negative, you will attract negative people. Believe it.

At any time, there is GOOD and BAD stuff happening all around us. I'm not saying to deny the bad stuff. What I'm saying is to choose to focus on the "good stuff." And yes, there IS good stuff happening around us every single day.

This is a great time to be prospecting because people with broke mindsets are SO EASY to spot. They quickly latch on to excuses and
cite what's going on in the news. Listen, as
soon as a prospect does that - MOVE ON.

There are lots & lots of great prospects out there you can be investing your time with so don't waste a precious minute talking to someone with a broke mindset. You're not here to rescue anyone.
You're sorting for leaders.

Apple released their new iPhone 3G - and although they've lowered the up front cost, the service fees are higher so people may actually end up paying more. Now with all the tough times & bad news, they're probably not gonna sell too many, right? Yeah.... sure.

Now an iPhone is not a necessity. There are cheaper phones people could buy, but what you saw is a mad rush once it was released.

So, with these tough times, where are people finding the money for stuff they really want? I mean, I still see people eating out, watching satellite & premium digital cable TV, even planning vacations. (Try to book a beach house and you will see so many are booked up you will hardly believe it). The answer is simple: if it's something people really want, they will find the funds for it!

So... when you're prospecting, it's simple. Sort for people who REALLY WANT what you have.
Sort for leaders. For people who want a lifestyle change. Who are through with living paycheck to paycheck and want to create change in their life. Sort for people who already have created that change, who are already successful, but who are paying too high a price (working 70 hours a week for instance) to maintain it.

Get your business in front of these people daily, and watch your business GROW. And stop wasting time with the wrong people.

And one more thing... instead of watching "the news" every night take a few nights off and READ something to feed your mind with different kinds of thoughts. Pick up a copy of the "Millionaire Next Door," or "Think & Grow Rich." And don't worry, if you miss any really bad news, someone will be sure to tell you all about it. ;-)

Belief comes first. Results come second.

Success to is 90% mental and 10% mechanical.

Do you realize that the average person watches 6 hours of TV per day? That equals 42 hours a week and 168 hours a month. So that means in one month, they watched approximately 6,720 commercials and has accumulated seven full 24-hour days worth of mostly useless and often lack-centered information.
For every hour you were listening to the radio, you put even more commercials and useless information into your brain. If you just listened to the radio in your car, you might be subjected to 5 to 10 hours of status quo information per week, or 20 to 40 hours per month.

Media has a big role in shaping our perception of success, happiness, and money. For example ever heard on Radio "This is your last chance to win 10 lakhs ", "Britney the most popular and successful singer admitted to rehabilitation center(you will not want to become popular and successful)",“Mr. X is always at the office, generating the millions...” what does that program? Our subconscious mind gets these information and make them our reality.

We were not born with our own opinions, choices and mindsets all these we acquired from our surroundings, our family, neighborhood, friends and relatives. we are highly receptive, we take all the information coming to us from our surrounding and then we form our own realities, limitations, possibles and impossibles. We see others walking and know that its possible for me too. In the whole process of we growing up we would have got enough information and programming from our surrounding to make the person we are.
when we are grown up we have formed our own reality we know 'what we can' and 'what we cannot do' that again comes from the programming we had.

Everyone of us lives in a different world and different reality.

In fact, there are six billion+ realities taking place on earth right now, this very moment. Six billion!
And every single one of them is different. With six billion different lists of rules for what is possible and what isn’t. With six Billion different perceptions of one event. With six billion different ideas of what truth, morals, and justice mean.

Now for us to move to the Right Quadrant we need to be aware of our realities first and examine whether these realities are helping us or sabotaging us. If we are programmed against rich people we can never be one. Have you been programmed that money is bad, rich people are evil, and it is spiritual to be poor?

Now the key to all this is that -We have the power to completely create the rules that define our reality. And you can do it instantly. What was impossible today, can be possible tomorrow if you desire it to be.
In any situation, the ideas, concepts, and beliefs of the person with the strongest reality will be adopted by the other party.

Have you ever heard that saying that “sales are a transfer of belief from one person to another”? Well that’s what that means.
When a sale is made, it means that your belief, or your reality, was stronger than the other person’s, and so they adopted it. They bought what you were selling because they bought into your reality.
Your reality is a reflection of the way you see yourself inside.
If you TRULY believe you are already successful, then you will automatically do the things that successful people do, which will automatically attract other successful people.
Entrepreneurs decide to define their own reality. They have come to understand that they have this power.

They constantly create, and re-create the rules by which this world operates based on new experiences and new knowledge.
They continually expand their universe by accepting new rules of possibility discovered through reading, listening, and learning about the realities of others who have what they seek.

There are business building strategies and techniques which can change your life forever in minutes. Powerful things which are already part of other people’s reality.
All you need to do is expose yourself to these people’s worlds, and open yourself up to it. Be willing to adopt the rules they live by, and do business by.

Idea’s you’ve never had will start to flood you mind.
The outside world you live in will slowly begin to change as you place new rules upon it.

And as you do, your rules will change. Things which were once impossible for you, will become possible.

When your level of belief about a new rule you set for yourself becomes stronger than your current belief, then your world will change and you will have what you seek…

Belief comes first. Results come second.

Define your new reality. Live it. Sleep it. Dream it. And your life will become it.
