Here’s a lesson for you… It will be different for everyone reading it… OK, listen in… About a month ago, I spoke to a lady over Skype… With big ideas about what she wanted to do… What she felt compelled and called to do but uncertain about how to market her thing… She said she was fed up with the people around her who thought too small and told her that she wanted too much… She was inspired by what I had to say, she still is… She was all excited to speak to me… She thought I was some kind of magic answer… I liked her big vision… The right person with the right knowledge can make it work, for sure… And she IS the right person… But… Something told me she was not all that committed but stupidly enough, I asked her to join the DM if she was serious about moving forward. This is my mini filter to see how serious people are… Except I was having a silly day because I promised a refund if we spoke and she chose not to move forward. Yep, I know… silly, right?! There I am trying to filter out the time-wasters and then I go and promise to refund them after they waste my time! Silly, silly, SILLY! Anyway, we had the consult… I kinda knew it was pointless as this person was just too up and down to actually make a decision but the vision was great and I do get drawn in by a good vision… I want people to win so I stick around trying to support for longer tha I should… I did draw the line on allowing her to continue to access the marketing training or even let her into the group (while she ‘thought’ about her next move!) as that just seemed a little bit too cheeky even for my very understanding self… I do want people to win but if you ain’t willing to invest in yourself then I KNOW it will be an uphill struggle that you probably will lose… I know because I did the whole ‘too scared to invest in myself’ thing… The whole ‘So scared I will think and think my way out of every good idea’ thing… And I did not move forward… But hey, be my guest… Keep trying! Back to my story… Finally, towards the end of the consult, she decided that she absolutely had to ‘think’ about it so I very specifically said ‘Make sure you come back within 24 hours and give me a decision either way’ Did she? Nope! She waited until the next payment went out and as expected, she reappears asking for a refund… Please do bear in mind that all anyone ever has to do to cancel a payment is pop into paypal and cancel it but no… Most people are too passive to do that or pop down to the bottom of an email to unsubscribe… Instead, they send me emails telling me to unsubscribe them… Or send them refunds… The passivity of most people is pretty astounding! And all I can do is smile because I know that unless something drastically changes in their approach to life, their results will remain minimal and that makes me sad… So many leaders refusing to do their real work, due to passivity and fear… What a loss. So here is some truth for you… Most people do not have what it takes. They talk a good game, claim big dreams, feel all excited for about a second but then when the rubber hits the road, when they have to invest in themselves, they run for the hills talking about all the reasons why they cannot fully commit. They go get refunds as though you can get a refund on your dreams. Having a big vision does not mean you get to live it out… Any hoo, I am not speaking to them. I am speaking to you, Leader. You who don’t just talk but actually do something… You who know what it takes to go from where you are to where you want to be… And you are willing to do the work, to pay the price, to be more than most people so that you can change more lives and create more wealth… You who KNOW you are called to more than what you are currently experiencing… You who KNOW that if you don’t do anything different, you won’t get anything different. You who have products, services, books, music, ministry that can impact a whole lot of people and you are fed up with waiting for your time. It is you, the leader that I speak to. And I make an invitation… Work with me and a few other leader champion entrepreneurs in the Deliberate Millionaire Fast Track Group and see your visions come alive. This is not for the wishy – washy, up today, down tomorrow type people… In fact, I try very hard to repel those types!!! (They ocassionally get past my filter particularly on my more silly days as described above! ) This is only for those who know there is no more time to live the wrong life. I can extol the virtues of the group forever but the best way to see the benefits are to join in. And to help you with that, I am doing a birthday weekend 4 day offer – Get your first month and all the programs for just half price.

I’ll share with you that when I first started in business the image of a leader that I brought with me was an authority figure who has the power to hurt those that are following them. This was because I was so used to being around authority figures who were coming from a place of leading through fear (I came out of the very toxic public school system). I knew I didn’t want that in my business.

We all know that smiles are contagious. So are bad moods. Experts in the field of psychic energy say it's that energy – not the actual smile -- that connects you to the good mood of the other person.

Many of my clients share that one of their biggest marketing challenges is actually connecting with enough prospects. They are doing all of this great work in their businesses, but not very many people know about their work; or at least not enough for the flow of business to be moving smoothly and easily. Stop. Start. Stop. Start. Sound familiar? There isn't one perfect way to consistently connect with prospects, but there are many ways that, when used collaboratively, will build you a nice stream of people who are interested in what you do.
