SUBJECT: You Can’t Make Money & Excuses At The Same Time
No matter what's going on in the world, you have a choice as to
what you're going to create in your life. Leave Excuses to the
“Old You”
Trust me when I say at this point in my life I was to the point
of experiencing pain and I had a strong desire to not feel this
pain any longer. But instead of wanting to make the necessary
changes I started to deal with the pain in a different way.
I started using excuses that I felt would prevent me from
experience any more pain that would make me feel even more of a
failure than I felt like I was already.
These excuses continued even after a successful launch and they
prevented me from earning a lot of money during the next 6
months.
I had and used every excuse in the book and I have also heard
them all from my coaching students since I have begun helping
others.
It really is much easier to come up with an excuse instead of
just taking the bull by the horn as we say and getting things
accomplished.
What’s Your Excuse?
“I can’t give up a regular paycheck.”
“Invest? You want me to lose all my money, don’t you?”
“I don’t have any money to invest.”
“I tried that before. It’ll never work.”
“I’m not smart enough.”
“My husband would never go for it.”
“My wife would never understand.”
“What would my friends say if I fail again?”
“I’m young. I’ve still got time.”
“It’s too late for me.”
“I can’t do that.”
“I wasn’t born with a computer attached to my umbilical cord.”
“It is easier for the younger generation than it is for me.”
Now I want you to go back and read those excuses once again.
Something about these particular excuses I want you to really
notice.
Each one of these excuses gives us a reason to put up a road
block in our mind that will keep us from taking action that may
result in pain we have experienced in the past.
We are also using an excuse that puts the blame on someone or
something else other than our self so that we do not feel bad
for not taking action.
If we have experienced any kind of pain or negativity from past
failure our mind will immediately begin looking for a way to
prevent the pain from re-occurring when it is faced with a
similar situation.
We don’t like to feel pain. Hey I am with you on that all the
way. But will we go ahead and take a risk or will we just listen
to these thoughts and back away from a possible negative
experience again.
Remember: People don't change unless and until they experience
enough pain with the way things are. Only then do we say, "Hey,
enough already!"
Only then do we begin to look for new ways to figure out how to
think, feel and act in a different direction.
Only then do we stop looking for excuses that do nothing more
than set up roadblocks right in the middle of our success path
and also to try and protect us from the previous experienced
pain, so we don’t need to go through it again.
To Your Success,
YOUR NAME
