Hey There,
I’ve done something different this week. Instead of collating feedback, I want to address one important issue that arose from my last post. I’ve noticed some people are using my posts as ammunition to tear down successful speakers. If that is you, stop it. Trying to get ahead while tearing others down doesn’t make you any better than the lowest common denominator out there. I support many speakers as some are my closest friends and I support many upcoming speakers because I love the variety and opportunities the market presents for fresh faces with great ideas and systems that can really help transform people’s lives. There will be a change in direction in future issues as one season ends, another begins and a new fresh start may be made. I look forward to sharing that journey with you if you want to continue to learn and grow with me.
Recently I had someone ask me a question through facebook and with permission, I’ve reposted my reply for all of you to see. I’ve changed the name to protect the person but I wanted my members to learn the valuable lessons contained within this email. This is raw, unedited and I hope you get the essence of what I’m trying to say. It may be relevant, it may be not. But I felt this message was powerful enough to post it alone. Let me know what you think… START EMAIL…(Name has been changed to protect member) Dan, Mate, I remember being in your situation. I made so many promises to my wife and it was funny because we went to this Mal Emery event and she made me promise not to buy anything and towards the end, there she was bidding at an auction and we ended up spending about $500 which was a lot of money when we were students so I can relate mate. It’s just another excuse. It was an ugly pill I had to swallow but I faced the reality and did it. All these excuses held me back because it protected my ego and justified my position in life. It was safe and comfortable to stay at that level. But then I had that entrepreneurial seizure and decided to live the life I desire so I demanded more of myself. Like Jim Rohn says, “don’t wish things were easier, wish you were better” and that’s a constant battle I love enduring. The best thing I ever did was give my wife $2000 CASH and allowing her to spend it. (I did a big deal and there was a huge deposit$$$) That helped her restore faith in me because prior to that I seemed to be burning a lot of money and not getting any results with all these seminars and products. It’s almost like I was trying to buy success without doing the work. But I realised now that I would have saved so much more money if I had a mentor to guide me and a mastermind group to keep me accountable. Mate, if you came to the mastermind, you would have to commit to it and stay the whole time. I can’t see you doing this so it’s probably not right for you. If i don’t book out my time there mate, i would be happy to spend some time with you and help you with your business. I agree with you that it’s probably missing the big idea and a vehicle for you to extract the cash. Mate, you seriously need to do the T Harv Ekers Millionaire Mindset Intensive course because not all your money should be family money and you should have your own personal money to spend and blow on whatever you want regardless of what your wife thinks. Living with scarcity and trying to be wealthy is incongruent mate and people will see right through that. You know that I’m calling you up on this shit because I believe in you and can see you potential. I’ve helped people with no money in the past and have been burnt all the time with broken promises mate. I can tell you know that a little something now is means more than 100% of nothing later. Trust me mate, I’ve been in this game a long time. I’ve flown people around the country to attend seminars on my shout and have been very generous with my time. The people that pay, always grow and those that try and get everything for nothing achieve nothing because they don’t value the knowledge and experience transferred. My challenge to you is find a way to make it happen if you want it to happen. There’s no genius thinking in using your wife and cashflow issues mate. Accept where you are is exactly where you need to be and that the challenges that arise allow you to grow to where you want to be. Dan, there’s something about you. I know you will do well and you provide great value. But I feel if you could package your service, position your authority and promote your services with the right markets, you will do outstandingly well. Mate, I hope this hits you where you need it. I know if you can find someone to replace you on the 17th, it would be worth your while to attend the mastermind. It may be that pivotal point in your life that truly transforms your business. I really believe that and if you are prepared to show positive behaviour, I would be prepared to invest extra time with you over the phone. Maybe that’s where you’ll get your breakthrough. It’s up to you mate. Make your decisions in life by choice not chance because if you leave it up to chance, you may poor for the rest of your life. Decisions determine destiny mate. Your call. Simplify Life, CHEN P.S Just read what I wrote and would love to post it in the mid-week edition of conversations with Chen. I think many people can get value from this. Happy to change your name and protect you mate. Let me know… END EMAIL…. Did you enjoy this insight? Let me know. Obviously, not all my email replies are this long. I just felt I had to help this person because he is genuinely a star and just needs that loving mirror and support to help him grow. Until next time. Simplify Your Life, CHEN P.S Mastermind is the leverage of great minds and forced implementation. It’s your best way to learn and make consistent progress in your journey. I’m hoping to make a big announcement in the next few weeks…stay tuned! |
