Do You Dabble Through Life?
Dabble Through Life
or
Decide to Master It
Most entrepreneurs are living a “someday” life and they don”t even realize it. 
This post is all about waking up to the life that’s in front of you NOW and opening your eyes to the opportunities that you have been missing out on. As entrepreneurs we have never lived in a more exciting time than NOW to get our message out to the world, make a global impact and generate massive abundance. However, none of that is going to happen until you WAKE UP to your life now and own your greatness.
One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want
is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. ~Tony Robbins ~
Are you waiting for “some day” to take action and get something done? That’s just human nature . . . we all do that to some extent. It’s normal to have a ‘to do’ list and continually put off doing any of it!
How would your life change if you could prioritize your list and actually make each one a reality?
The first thing we need to do in order to become more focused on what we want to achieve is to fill our minds with correct information that keeps our dreams alive. We need to keep our belief level up so that we are inspired about what we are pursuing.
What stops us from achieving our dreams?
Many of us tend to be perfectionists and think that it has to be perfect before we release it to the world! But you know what? Here’s the truth on most of our projects: “You don’t have to get it perfect; you just have to get it going!” If you are one of those people who get STUCK in learning mode or tend to over-analyze everything, STOP right now!
Realize that we only have NOW. . . each moment is time to use to fulfill your deeper purpose.
1. We need to get into action and STAY in action to get the results we want.
We all know that Action Brings RESULTS.
However, knowing that taking action brings results isn’t enough. What is it that makes you actually TAKE ACTION? Do you know that the answer to that question.. is in your control? Action comes very naturally when you have what comes before the Action….
2. Your BELIEF LEVEL and your VIEW of things
Yes, belief that it WILL work, that you CAN do it, that it WILL bring the results you want.
And, also your view affects the results you will ultimately receive. If you view it as hard, confusing or complicated… you won’t start on the project. You are smart and know it won’t bring you the results you are seeking so you don’t want to waste your time on it…. Life is short!
What ever view you have for the day, we want to be RIGHT! If you view is that you won’t get the results you want with this method, it’s too hard, it won’t work, it’s too confusing, or complicated, you will never get into action and get the results. Your mind will find a way to make you “right” and you will fulfill that prophecy!
3. We have “gatekeepers” to achieving success: Fear and Doubt.
Whatever your belief and views are, they have to be strong enough for you to be able to overcome fear and doubt to get you to Take Action. Keep your belief level WAY UP and keep an empowered view. Realize that YOU get to decide and control your beliefs and views! Once you start working on your belief system, things can change! You will find yourself eventually being NATURALLY in ACTION . . . effortlessly.
“Doubt Will Take You Out Of Action…Action Will Take You Out Of Doubt!”
What influences our beliefs and our views? Our environment, who we hang out with, our conversations we have daily, experiences we’ve had, decisions we’ve made… They all influence how we formed our opinions and what we believe right now.
Oh, that doesn’t work.. that works.. Jimmie had a hard time doing that so Susie won’t be able to do it! .. etc.
Our beliefs and views either EMPOWER us or LIMIT us!
“We become what we think about” ~ Earl Nightengale
That is what impacts us and determines whether we will take action or not.
Many people try to FORCE themselves into taking action; however, when you understand this, it’s really simple!
Actions produce Results.
Your beliefs and views will impact how much action you’ll take.
Your belief and views are up to you!
Do you remember a time when you just joined a business or program and you were so excited about it. You had hope again! You KNEW that this was going to end your stress and bills and you’d be helping a lot of other people at the same time. It was hard to contain your enthusiasm!
Someone else views it as a burden. A disaster! It isn’t working and they quit! Why? They believed it wouldn’t work. Their mind found ways to make them RIGHT!
Ok.. so now let’s talk about taking action!
You probably know the difference between activity and accomplishment. Being BUSY doesn’t mean it will produce results for you. Don’t fill each day with BUSY work! It’s an exhausting way to live your life!
We’re not talking about wasting time. We’re talking about taking the proper actions, the money-making activities that will bring the results you want. Do the things that are productive and will move your business FORWARD every day.
My sponsor gave me such a great answer when I asked him if he was busy. He said “I’m never busy; I’m productive!” What a great state of mind!
You are smart enough by now to know the actions you need to take on a daily basis to get to your desired goal, right? You’re either doing them or you’re not doing them!
Do You Have It? The Entrepreneurial Spirit?
Entrepreneurs are driven from within! Not everyone has this entrepreneurial spirit. If you are an Entrepreneur, the amazing this is that you were blessed with an entrepreneurial spirit, and have a burning desire. You have Passion! It’s that gift that you have that won’t let you sleep at night, you have all these ideas spinning around in your head, that has you driving and pushing and wanting to do more and be more while others are sitting on the couch watching another episode of the hottest t.v. show!
You have a Bigger Purpose! It’s your burning desire. Every day, you’re asking yourself, how can I do this better? Make it happen? It’s your obligation to fulfill this burning desire.. to do more, be more… help more people… We, as humans, tend to get in our own way, stumble over ourselves, make mistakes. But as entrepreneurs we have this drive, this belief, that causes us to push through and take the needed action to do more, be more, to get results.
We live in one of the most amazing times in history when we are able to have influence on other people’s lives. We can make a difference.
“Your gift won’t let you rest, until you are your best.” ~ Michael Irving (Football champ!)
You’re literally UNSETTLED until you’re fulfilling something. You KNOW you’re supposed to have influence. You KNOW you’re supposed to have an impact. You KNOW you’re supposed to have an audience. You KNOW it; you feel it! You lose sleep at night knowing that this is what you’re supposed to do… and that’s what keeps you going!
Now, with the internet, it’s even easier to address large audiences and get your message out to them. No excuses!
The only difference between the 3% at the top and the other 97% is that they believed and took action to get results.
Every single time you say you’re going to do something, and you don’t, you start to doubt yourself a little bit more. Because what you say starts to not even matter. You just talk to hear yourself talk! There has to come a time when you are SO tired of hearing yourself talk about it, you just shut up and DO IT!
3 Things to Do to GET in Action and STAY in Action:
1. Change Your View
Imagine yourself taking off the glasses and putting on new ones to see things clearly and correctly.
See things differently, from a NEW perspective. Put on your glasses of humor, fun and empowerment.
If you are down, listen to someone who inspires you to build yourself back UP again. One of my favorites is Tony Robbins. Pop in an audio, CD, webinar recording, whatever you have. Create a library so it’s at your fingertips when you need it. Listen to whatever subject you need depending on what’s going on around you. When the voices in your head get really loud, put in someone else’s thoughts. Listen to an audio.
Remember that we are all going to die! What are you WAITING FOR? That’s one of the fastest ways to change your view and get into action immediately! When you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck or scared – Go For It!!
Laugh at Yourself! We are our own worst critic. No one really cares! It’s really ridiculous to be living in fear.
2. Increase Your Beliefs
Your beliefs should be at a 10+ for whatever it is that you’re doing. If you want to make money online but believe it’s already saturated even though others are making money. . . and it doesn’t work for you. Congratulations! You proved yourself RIGHT!
You want to get crystal clear about your beliefs. One of the best ways to do that is to surround yourself with others who have the same goals and interests.. . other entrepreneurs who are making it happen. Hang out with those who are a couple steps ahead of you – that will impact your belief.
If you have conversations with nay-sayers, you will bring your belief level down very fast.
So – Trust the journey! Keep Moving Forward!
Belief and faith have a lot to do with your results. You just keep moving forward, not even knowing how it’s going to work… You don’t have all the answers. You just KNOW it will work!
3. Beyond Belief and View
You have to keep your views and beliefs in check, but there are some steps you can take to keep you in action…
Commit to something – Create accountability so you can’t back out!
Decide what you’re going to achieve and then Follow Through
Example: Do a weekly webinar training
1, Decide to do it.
2. Set up a date and time.
3. Invite others.
This will move you into ACTION.
This will keep you accountable.
You will learn so much more while in action than in trying to get all the answers before you do it.
Trying to get all the answers is a waste of time! Close the text book and go out and DO IT!
Again, when getting into action, don’t let overwhelm, doubt, confusion or anything else stop you. All of these are really FEAR. Fear can be overcome by increasing your belief, switching out your view – put on some new glasses, remember you’re going to die anyway, and just go for it. Just DO IT.
The more you get into the practice of doing that, the more you’re going to realize there was nothing to be afraid of in the first place.
That’s all for now…
