Do I? or Don’t I?

That is the question I have been pondering. I love the content, I have been learning so much. but I am behind. Have I let life get in the way? Maybe? But then again, Maybe not. Our business is really taking off right now, signing a new partner tomorrow, meeting with another salon next week  who will come on board shortly after. Michele heads to Florida next week she will be gone for 3 weeks to meet with more prospects, and become a Motives trainer. Everything is coming together.

Am I going to miss out on another opportunity by dropping out? Maybe. Mark and Davene have exposed me to so many resources , so many different ways of explaining the business, so many ways to open the mind, to scramble what has gone in to it for the past 50 years. I may have the tools but do I have the support? Did I ever think at 50, I would change my whole way of thinking? I will leave it in God’s hands, I will ask him what I should do as he has the  plan, not I. I just have to listen.

Go Packers!!!

Power

I am natures greatest miracle, never been another with my mind, my heart , my eyes, my ears, my thoughts, none that came before and none that live today and none that will come tomorrow.

The power I have in my  mind, my thoughts my hands, simply blows me away. When you think about it, it compares to a thunderstorm. Powerful, striking, refreshing, life giving and ending. 2011 is already shaping up to a very powerful year, life changing. Bring  it on

Blessings,

Bruce

Bring it on

With week 13 starting I heed the advice of the master. Time to get everything caught up so I can start the new year with a vengeance. 2011 will be the year where everything falls in to place, gone are the doubts and fears of what to do. the future holds many things and I am guiding by God, he has the plan, he places things in my path, some good some challenging, but it’s all for a greater purpose. Can’t say I have ever been more excited for the new year.

Going through my flash cards, brings back thoughts of the past, past adventures, past accomplishments, some things that led me to greater things, others are just a chapter in the my book. Looking forward to where we go with these. Well back to cleaning up the odd’s and ends.

Until next time,

Bruce

I will persist until I succeed

Week 10/11

I will persist until I succeed. I love Scroll 3, to me it sets my day, gives me that pickup at lunch and then sets my mind before sleep. Not only are we being given the tools to change are thoughts and our habits but we are also given the tools to help our business’s grow teaching us how to twitter how to blog and now autoresponders. I have to admit the autoresponder is a bit to set up but, once I realized the power of it, my mind raced. Telling my wife Michele how powerful of a tool this can be for her as a Makeup Artist, she could see the potential. Can’t wait to learn more.

Today I attended a class on Effective Leadership and Emotional Intelligence for my J.O.B. interesting class. Goes well with what Mark and Davine taught us on how to read prospects, as you add the emotional side of it.

I will persist until I succeed. The prizes in life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning.  Henceforth, I will learn and apply another secret of those who excel in my work.

Blessings,

Bruce

See it, Believe it

Week 9

As we enter week 10 in the MKMMA things become clearer and clearer. When I go back and listen to audios like “The Success System That Never Fails” what W Clemmet Stone talks about becomes so clear in my mind, it makes more and more sense, if you have listened before the class started, go back and listen or read it again, you will be amazed at the things you pick up that you can relate to now, which didn’t click before.

tomorrow starts the 1st day of the last month of 2010, where in the past, my thoughts would be of wishes of what the next year will bring, my goals weren’t consistent, and nothing came together. But this year I am looking forward to next year, 2011 is going to be an awesome year, as I visualize where we will be at this time next year. Why? Cause I know we will, I can see great things for our business, I see us reaching our goals, I can see us on stage in August in Greensboro for fastest growing.

Funny thing is, it is not only the business portion of our life, I am looking forward to Christmas this year, where in the past few years I was a bah humbug, this year I am actually singing to this Christmas songs on the radio. I am looking forward to the next 16 weeks, bring it on!!!! 

Blessings,

Bruce

I got it, I got it!!!!

Week 8

Wow it’s so funny how you can read and listen and listen and read and read things again and then finally it clicks. I was listening to “The Greatest Networker in the World” again, I think it’s the 4th time and I get to chapter 12, where they talk about “stories of belief” and it clicks, things are making sense what Mark and Davine are teaching us. Before that it never clicked, I was doing some of the work, reading my DMP, reading the scroll, but I didn’t get the cards didn’t get the shapes, but bingo and it clicked.

Removing the word “will” makes reading Scroll 2 in the present tense. I actually like that better. I have some catching up to do but it will all be easier now, people must have thought I was nuts laughing to myself. OK I am getting my recording done tonight.

Almost, but not

It’s been a busy last two weeks, with my mom in town, anniversary, my birthday, friends from out-of-town stopping in, MA Regional in Dallas last weekend and with everything else going on its been very hard to keep up with my master key assignments, but I did, except for writing my blog.  Everytime i would sit down and start, something got in the way, or is it that I let things get in the way. Was it just another excuse? If I really truly want things to change, I have to change.

I am driving back to San Antonio and thinking maybe I will just quit, I have enough of a taste, I can do it alone, I missed the webinar anyway, so it’s ok. Not so easy, as I crawl in bed I pull out Og and start reading Scroll 1 again. Then I realized that I do need this, it was to easy to say to give up, too much work, no time. Almost, but not……….

So anyway I am back on track, screwing with my mind, changing my thoughts, changing patterns. We didn’t become this way overnight, it’s developed over years, and years. So why do I think I can change it overnight, not going to happen. Guess that’s why we are doing this for 26 weeks,,,,,,,,,

Blessings,

The habits they are a breaking, it’s tough. I catch myself still saying “no problem”. But I didn’t learn doing that overnight. I am actually looking forward to next week, this worked out perfectly as I will begin my second 50, and a new start, yes looking forward to it. Will be getting my copy of “The Speed of Trust” soon, need to find the audio version, I love audio books, my mind doesn’t wander, I feel right there.

Crisp morning here in San Antonio 49, seems like it was just yesterday walking out the door and it was 80 and humid, actually 2 weeks ago. I miss do miss fall in NE Wisconsin, one of my favorite times of the year, the smell of the leaves, the beautiful colors,,,,,,,,,,,until the snow flys 🙂

Until next time,

Bruce

New Tricks for an Old Dog

Can you teach an old dog new tricks? I guess so. Guess I am proof as I turn 50 next month it feels like I have learned more in the last year than I have in the previous 20. It starts with my relationship with God that has changed my life more than I know, how you may ask? 3 weeks ago I was in an accident with my motorcycle on my way to my J.O.B. a car pulls out in front of me at an intersection, luckily I was able to brake enough that as I drop the bike It was slow enough to not do damage. Clearly her fault as I had a witness. I kept my cool, I was not upset with her, as we wait for the a cop to show up and she kept saying she didn’t see me, I was surprising myself as I keep telling her it was ok and it happens, 2 years ago I would have not been that way, I would have blown up. As I drove away, I just thanked God for what he has done in my life. Oh by the way the person in that car was a cop on her way to work.

Prior to being introduced to the World’s Laziest Networker my book reading was nil. The only book was the Bible. Then a business partner sent me a link to Mark’s Blog. Something clicked, I went back read and read all the previous ones, absorbing all I could. He would quote a book, and I was searching for it, from The Greatest Networker, to Think and Grow Rich, to The Science of Getting Rich, The Science of Being Great. Every book opened new doors.

I was trying to figure out the purpose of the 15 minutes sitting still. Last night was the first chance to do it, been doing the reading, just couldn’t sit for 15 as I would have fallen asleep. As my mind raced through different thoughts, I found it would be less and less, it was almost like cleaning off my desk and filing everything away, until the 15 minutes were up and everything was cleared, an awesome feeling. Well off to read and bed.

Until next week,

Bruce
