“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.”
Confucius
Chapter 7: Organized Planning – Turning Desire Into Action
My number one goal in life is to reach my highest potential as a human being. I want to reach that in every single aspect of my being as a person from my health, to financial abundance and prosperity, and to being the best person I can possibly be. That is what makes Mentoring For Free different to me. It is not just about the money. It is about reaching for our highest potential as human beings and using planning to get there. Every single failure on our way is a “temporary defeat” and only serves to make us better than we were before. Thomas Edison experienced 10,000 temporary defeats to create something that is used all over the world now and without it our entire society could go into a collapse.
Organized planning is essential to helping us achieve goals and dreams that are BIGGER than the average goals and dreams of people that never reach for their highest potential in life. The only limits there are for human potential are in our minds, and we only use about 10% of our brain power so we probably are nowhere near understanding the true potential of human beings.
If you plan to reach your highest potential in life then how do you want to do that? Do you want to be a leader or a follower? Clearly most of us here want to be leaders, because we are using network marketing as a vehicle to help us reach our highest potential in life. If we want to be followers we can still reach our highest potential in life in many ways, but Hill points out that there are some limits in this category. In network marketing there are enormous limits to being a follower, because 99% of the people in this industry fail to become financially successful. Many of them were probably really great followers, but followers don’t attract more followers. It takes leaders to attract followers and this needs to be the foundation behind our organized planning is we want to be leaders.
We don’t have to be leaders with all the answers, because that is why we are in a mastermind group where we learn from others and every one brings experience, knowledge, wisdom, and something of value to the table. Our working together in this 30 Day Mental Cleanse is an example of Shared thinking, which John C. Maxwell says is really a powerful way to dramatically increase your chances of success. He also points out that few people ever engage in this powerful form of thinking called shared thinking (Master mind group). The Mastermind group is very powerful to benefit us all and help us turn our organized plan into action, because it is a group of people that are trying to do the same thing. In a spirit of cooperation we work together to become more than we already are. Hill states that the Master Mind principle is absolutely essential.
“The “Master Mind” principle cannot obtain where PERFECT HARMONY does not prevail.” – Napoleon Hill. I have to applaud Michael on this one! WOW! Amazing how he does such a great job of creating PERFECT HARMONY with so many different people in the 30 Day Mental Cleanse. Different types of people from all over the world. Many of the most successful businesses in the world struggle to create PERFECT HARMONY in their working environments. I think this is one thing that I really love about this group is that harmony and respect everyone has for everyone else.
“NO FOLLOWER OF THIS PHILOSOPHY CAN REASONABLY
EXPECT TO ACCUMULATE A FORTUNE WITHOUT EXPERIENCING
“TEMPORARY DEFEAT.” When defeat comes, accept it as a signal
that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more
toward your coveted goal. If you give up before your goal has been reached,
you are a “quitter.””
-Napoleon Hill
This was a great quote, because “temporary defeat” is not to be AVOIDED, but actually it is something that is going to happen. We have to realize this and I kind of feel a little temporary defeat now and then because I have struggled to get those e-book downloads lately. When I was succeeded at giving them I kind of felt like I had “no life” and was being a little obsessive about spending too much time doing that. I definitely need ot work on an organized plan where I actually don’t spend too much time trying to get the e-book downloads, but still get some as opposed to zero. In this category of temporary defeat I feel overwhelmed many times with the amount of knowledge I need to learn and with the competition involved in what we are trying to accomplish, and with the fact that no one seems very interested in free training. I am determined to keep trying, but my struggles are clearly par for the course and only speed bumps on a path towards success.
“I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.”
