FIND YOUR WHY AND FLY CHALLENGE
As many of you have heard me say, you must know your WHY in life (your ultimate purpose) in order to deal with such issues as:

•    Why recruit?
•    Why deal with traffic in the morning?
•    Why come in early and work late?
•    Why deal with certain clients?
•    Why introduce your business to people on a daily basis?
•    Why work and plan over the weekend?

My personal mission statement is “You must be absolutely clear about your goal and be relentless in your pursuit of your “WHY” and reading your WHY card for the first seven minutes upon rising is the secret to cementing your WHY into your heart.  In turn, this will direct your actions as you progress through your day.  You will begin to see yourself handling some of your challenges a little differently, because you know WHY.  You will not be afraid to deal with the challenges as you proceed towards your WHY.  An example of a WHY card is:

I will deal with all the challenges of today, because my WHY is to spend more time with my family, provide for my children’s education, have the finances needed to take regular family vacations and be a mentor to my kids.  I will be able to donate/tithe a percentage of my earnings to my church or favorite non-profit organization.  I am successful entrepreneur and build an ethical, profitable business for me and my family.

I challenge you to re-evaluate where you are today and where you wish to be 5 years from now. Then, decide to take action and write a personal WHY card that you will read daily.

“…write the vision and make it plain on tablets that he may run who reads it.  For the vision is yet for an appointed time but at the end it will not lie.”

You need to accept my challenge and write a WHY card!  This step will totally empower your life. I would love to read your WHY card so feel free to e-mail it to me John@ChampionsLiveFree.com.

“I’ve had enough of this. I’ve had enough of dreaming, quitting is much easier. This is too hard. I’ve simply had enough!” These people give up on their dream. They dwell on the adversity rather than focusing on their dream. They forget that their vision controls their future, and they control their vision! They’ve had enough of dreaming. They’ve had enough of thinking about how they’d like to live their life. It’s so sad to think about the number of unfulfilled dreams that exist in the world.

There are an infinite number of unfulfilled dreams, because there are an infinite number of ideas that people simply give up on. But remember, everything has an opposite. If there are an infinite number of unfulfilled dreams, there are an infinite number of fulfilled dreams of people just like you that simply refused to quit.

Those people are in the 3% group and are Empowered by their dream. Their dream fuels them. They gain power from it. They wake up feeling good about themselves and blessed to have the ability to achieve their dream. In the old Greek, blessed means empowered to prosper. You have to be empowered to surpass mediocrity and achieve greatness.

The amazing thing is that when you are committed to achieving your dream, you not only empower yourself, but you empower the people around you to want more out of life. Empowerment is contagious. When you’re empowered, other people are empowered!

Now that you have an insurance plan for your dream, you’ll be able to stand toe to toe with anyone that challenges your ability to achieve it. Remember, you have made the decision to join the 3% crowd. Don’t listen to the naysayers or those stuck in the 97% group. It’s your dream so protect it!
