I’m sitting here at 3:11 AM in the morning, on my bed
on this serene Singapore night and I’m thinking…
This journey has been more… exciting than expected!
In my first video, I mentioned a quote from Zig Ziglar
who said, “People who know what and how will always
end up working for people who know why.”
A few days ago, I had my reason why… or so I thought.
My reason why was that I took a year off school to pursue
my business full-time and that I should use this time to
fully commit to making my first million.
6 months has passed and while my business is hitting
5 figures this month, the promise to myself was to hit
my first million by July 1st 2010.
That intention was set on July 1st 2009.
Now, I realize that it’s not a good reason why because
if all I’m doing is to fulfill my promise, why did I promise
myself that in the first place?
And why measure it by $1,000,000?
I am constantly reminded when I look at my vision board
that “Wealth, when sought after directly, will never be
achieved. It only comes as the by-product of providing
useful service.”
Henry Ford said that… so it must be true!
And I’m also reminded of a Tony Robbins recording back
in the 90′s when he said, “If you focus on making money
you’ll do okay. If you focus on helping people and giving
the best you can, you’ll do excellent.”
Anthony Robbins said that… so it must be true!
So, what I’m hearing is that I get to serve people (which
I love to do!) and get paid to do it?
Sounds like an EXCELLENT deal to me! =)
Now, let’s break this down…
My target is to hit $1,000,000.
This can go many ways.
I can get 1,000,000 people to pay me $1… or
I can get 100,000 people to pay me $10… or
I can get 10,000 people to pay me $100… or
I can get 1,000 people to pay me $1,000…or
I can get 100 people to pay me $10,000… or
I can get 10 people to pay me $100,000… or
I can get 1 person to pay me $1,000,000.
This is my most sincere belief…
I can see myself being paid $1,000 by a person…
BUT…
I don’t see myself being paid $10,000 by one person.
YIKES! Limiting belief here! Will have to work on my
receiving muscle here!
Do I see myself being paid $2,000? YES.
How about $3,000? YES but I’m thinking it’s going to
be excellent service…
Now that I think about it, I do see myself being paid
$10,000 by one person IF I’m able to give them at
least a good return on investment… maybe 5 to 10 times.
Hmmmm… Interesting thought. I’ll think on that!
As for now, I’ll stick to the $1000 to 1000 people
formula because I don’t seem to have any resistance
to this at all…
So how can I serve 1000 people in such a way that they’ll
be MORE THAN HAPPY to pay me $1,000 for it each?
Return on Investment.
Life-changing Experience.
Personal Coaching.
Inspiring and Revitalizing Their Lives.
Emotional Experience.
That last one seems to be the basis of why people buy
ANYTHING so I’ll have to remember that – IMPORTANT!
Back to my reason why…
I find it really UNinspiring to go after $1,000,000.
I don’t think anyone want pieces of paper with pictures
of dead people on them.
I think people want what money gives them.
Some people get driven by seeing the numbers increase
in their bank account because it gives them a sense of
accomplishment… but no, that doesn’t work for me.
What drives me… no, what INSPIRES me is the amazing
feeling of fulfilment that comes from helping someone else
LIVE their BIGGEST DREAMS…
Of putting my hand on their shoulder, smiling at them,
looking directly into their eyes and with all my sincerity
say, “I believe in you. I KNOW you can do it because you
are UNLIMITED… if only you knew where you came from…”
And this ties in nicely to me re-discovering my purpose in life:
Or part of it at least because somehow it feels incomplete.
“My true purpose in life is to inspire everyone I encounter to live their biggest dreams, accomplish the seemingly impossible and discover the greatness, love and beauty of the very Spirit that God has gifted them since the day they were born.”
I believe it starts with me living MY biggest dreams…
And to accomplish this seemingly impossible task of hitting
my first million in 6 months…
And it all starts by serving others.
That’s exactly what I’m about to do and that what I think you
should do too, Champ!
