Article by Mike Dillard: If There Are 10 Secrets to Success, This is #1:
Something pretty “out there” occurred to me over the last year…
You know…
“What has this guy been smokin’…?”, sort of stuff.
But when you consider that I went from $6,000 in debt and waiting tables, to making over $30,000 a month in that short time spam, something extra-ordinary must have popped into my little noggin.
So for what’s it’s worth, here’s the underlying secret behind all of the little things that happened which brought the end result to life.
It’s the secret within all of the self-help books that you’ve probably read, but might have never really “gotten”. In fact, they probably left you more frustrated than when you started.
I can relate. It took me about 6 years to finally comprehend this secret.
Until you get this part of your life and your head where it needs to be, you will NEVER be successful. It is impossible.
You MUST get this right. There is no website, marketing system, lead source, or product that will save you. If you don't get your head where it needs to be, everything else is just a waste of time, money, and efforts.
Success in anything in life, including network marketing, is 90% mental, and 10% mechanical (executing the business).
This is going to sound strange. Very strange. But, here’s what you really need to “get”, and get fast…
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.
You live in a completely different reality than everyone else. I live in a completely different reality than you do.
You make your rules.
I make mine.
You live by what you think is possible in your world.
I live by what I think is possible in mine.
There are six billion+ people, living in six billion+ realities that are all different. And each person has created the rules that define their reality, or has adopted the rules of others.
And here is the key to all of it… You have the power to completely create the rules that define your reality. And you can do it instantly. What was impossible today, can be possible tomorrow if you desire it to be.
This is what God meant when he said that he would grant our every heart’s desire.
This is what Napoleon Hill describes in Think and Grow Rich.
You live in your own personal reality, limited by your own personal set of rules.
This is important:
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.
Don’t believe me?
I’ll prove it.
There is a remote tribe of people called the Huli living in remote areas of Papua New Guniea. Until recently, they have never been exposed to anyone or anything outside of their immediate area. They live in a world of endless forests with no other people. You and I truly do not exist.
There are no countries. There are no such things as plastic, steal, or paper. The only flying objects are birds, and man has never been to the moon. There are no governments and there is no stock-market. The two world wars never took place. Electricity, telephones, and roads do not even show up in their dreams.
They could never comprehend the sight of a beach, or open ocean.
These things TRULY do not exist in their world.
Yet you and I know they are real.
We live in different realities, with different possibilities. But the Huli’s reality is just as real to them, as yours is to you.
So what does this mean to you and your business?
People attract others who live in realities similar to theirs.
Magnetic Sponsoring is all about attraction marketing. Whether that has to do with advertising "magnetic" offers, or developing a magnetic personality that attracts others...
You will ONLY attract people who live in realities similar to yours...
This means that if you are sponsoring duds, it's because deep-down, you believe you are a dud, and that is what's coming through to others.
Why is it that some people can sponsor top tier individuals with almost no effort at all, while others continue to sponsor needy, broke people?
It's easy... 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.
You can't fake it. You can try... But you can't.
All of this stuff happens on it's own, without any conscious intent or agenda. It's just your reality. It's just the "way things are".
Most people try to "get successful" before they start to act successful.
It doesn't work that way. The belief has to come first, which leads to correct actions, which brings the results.
And the best part, is that you're only a decision away from creating your new reality...
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.
And as you do, your rules will change. Things which were once impossible for you, will become possible.
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.
This is what happened to me when I found books by Perry Marshall, Dan Kennedy, and Joe Schroeder. New things… Impossible things came into my world about building a network marketing business.
They completely changed my set of rules and possibilities.
I made their realities mine, and in less than a year, I was making the kind of money that existed in their world.
And guess what's happened since then?
Newer realities have been seen... Realities where earning $100,000/mo is not even a big deal... Where earning $1,000,000+ per month is absolutely doable...
And the ability and means to accomplish these goals have presented themselves as well.
If you want to live a new life. A free life. The life of an entrepreneur… You must seek out people who live in the world you want, because the bus you ride now doesn’t stop there.
But before that, you must decide one what reality you want to live in… Define a new set of rules for what it… You’ve got to hand the driver a new map with new stops.
Here are just a few of the rules in my world…
In my reality:
I do not fear poverty, because I will always be rich.
Making $1,000,000 a month is not only possible, but a forgone event.
People like, trust, and respect me.
Employees are a sad but necessary part of the world.
There is no business skill I cannot master.
I attract Top Tier prospects effortlessly because they can see that I share a similar reality to theirs.
For many of you, these things could never happen. You could never fathom a 7 figure income, and you could never imagine ultra-high caliber, 7-figure network marketers wanting to do business with you...
Well, here’s the kicker…
You can, and they would… If, your reality, your belief level, was stronger than theirs.
If it is, they will absolutely buy into your world.
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…
But not before.
Belief comes first. Results come second.
Define your new reality. Live it. Sleep it. Dream it. And your life will become it.
