It’s quite amazing every now and then when you sit back and think “I’ve grown recently, I might not be where I want to be just yet, but BOY am I glad I’m not where I used to be!”. The more often you have these moments, the more often you attain… goals, happiness, growth.. .. …

I’ve been hanging out with some old friends lately and doing my best to be a positive influence to them not really to achieve their financial success to but to take their ‘person’ to the next level… It’s heartfelt to have many types of friends and acquantances (sp?), and seeing how one person grows differently from the next. I think those that are successful, are truly the ones that first and foremost are aware of their surroundings, their outreach potential, and their inner circles. It’s no wonder why most Harv. Grads become successful, most are surrounded by success from birth. Well - with that said, there are just as many success stories that derive from the ghettos, the dropouts, the underdogs - and THAT is what I want to ramble on about today.

Simply put - when you go through life being the underdog, you learn to be creative, stretch limits, it’s not a choice for you it’s just reaction/survival… Well in our eco-system it isn’t that much different is it? The bigger inner circles are well coordinated, they pass the hat, they run the lists, they acquire HUGE customer bases quickly, they learn to monetize as a collective with an independent yet collective nature… And then there are the 97% or so that are always trying their best to get through the clutter and start to become successful with their online ventures. So you think - can an underdog or newbie really make it nowadays???

In truth - it’s like asking can you quit smoking if you really wanted to? Could you give up coffee or candy or any other habit? I’m sure you can if you ‘REALLY’ wanted too or had to! The journey through manifestation and attracting your desires and goals doesn’t come from desire alone, it comes passion, determination, believing in yourself and sometimes willingly put yourself in a pressure zone where you must ‘make it or break it’ - because we all work best when we are under pressure or ‘need to survive’…

If you were to think you have 10 days to raise 5K or else…(put horrible scenario here) - it would be similar to saying ‘you have 4 months to live if you don’t stop smoking’ - ummm uh oh - I must survive!!! I’ll QUIT RIGHT NOW!! This is rather extreme, but that’s what it comes down to when you put yourself in a pressure spot, and you WORK your brain like never before to acquire your want/need. The will to acquire your goals is about 90% of your actions and the remaining 10% is reactions you will generate. The more actions you take that equate success, and the more times you can overlap them, the more often success will be in your favor. If you’re the underdog, chances are you’ll learn a lot through trial and error, and that’s what makes coming out on top even more rewarding - saying you did it from nothing! Homegrown baby!!

No matter how big you get, how much you earn, you’ll always look up to somebody(ies), and it’s good to have mentors and those you respect around you not just for financial goals but for bettering your person too. If you surround yourself with nothing but miserable negative people, chances are it won’t take long for it to rub off on you - alternatively the more you focus on taking in more success and pure souls into your life, the more success you will deploy with your daily actions by default. Do your best to be the positive leader you know you are, when growth happens - it doesn’t announce itself - it just happens. However in order for it to happen, it’s like the old lottery saying ‘you can’t win if you don’t play’ - so the more often you practice and play, the more chances you have at winning and attaining your goals in life.

I’ve manifested recently from a spot in life that me by a grip, and has finally let go - a little personal but it involves a woman and a ring so… yeah - During this growth I made myself focus on my career/business and really forget about women, and in turn it’s like a) women smell it on me and want me more b) i’m really focused and much less distracted c) I’ve become even more aware of my limits and success potential. When I heard recently that she’s getting married to someone else it was that final bit of closure - and I got a chance to reflect on everything that has happened in my life for the past year… .. . A hidden blessing in disguise, and I find myself sitting back yet again saying, “I might not be where I want to be just yet (underdog smiley here), but I’m sure glad I’m not where I used to be”! It was a nice ring too

When success happens, acknowledge it, accept it, don’t analyze it too much just reset your goals and keep improving/optimizing/networking/duplicating and all the other fancy marketing words you know… Manifest yourself starting yesterday and think of this blog post the next time you realize something great has just happened, and not so inadvertently… rather through the seed you planted via your own laws of attraction.

So what’s my secret? Lot’s of sleep! Lot’s of networking, not being naive to what is available to me, taking advantage of this thing called the internet you might have heard of - and for my offline personal ventures I just try my best to be a great person, honest, loyal, transparent, a good leader, and do my best stay happy 100% of my day, lately it’s happening more and more. The more honest you are with yourself and the more open minded you can stay to achieving extraordinary goals, the better your chances at achieving them - simple!

Daydreaming is out of style - making those dreams a reality is, in fact, your own reality if you choose to acquire it and stop at nothing (within reason!) to getting it. Remember being a baby and crying to get what you want? Probably not but you’ll agree - IT WORKS! While I don’t endorse that you start crying out loud and screaming that you want success - that’s how much you need to want it day in and day out if you’re a hungry underdog - and you WILL eventually - get what YOU want!

Motivation is key and not wasting time is also key. Perhaps take a good look at your daily tasks and figure out how many things you do on a daily basis that can be eliminated to equate to a) more time to yourself enjoying life b) more time to lucrative ventures and actually applying steps to complete tasks c) filter out the BS in your life and focus on your bigger goals - manifestation is incremental yet does not happen on it’s own, filtering is important to the underdog as well as the experienced gurus of our time. Motivate yourself and replace negative time with applying those motives to profitable/gainers in your life.

A cool one liner I’ve heard recently: “You only get ONE shot at this ‘life’ stuff - make the most of it! Live today like it was your last, you’ll find yourself doing some pretty crazy things”.

Cheers family, best of luck with your next manifestation.
