You don't have to get it right

Oh, the goals, hopes, and aspirations that the monstercalled procrastination destroys.
Add to it the negative habits of inconsistency and lack offocus and what do you have?
Struggle.
Much of it totally unnecessary.
Completely unnecessary.
My friend, Mike, had been running around in circles for 7 years of his life.
Circles of frustration, circles of always thinking thatsomeone else had the answers, not him nor me, and circles of strife.
People who love him dearly, thought he was wasting his time aswell.
Financial struggle started entering his life in a bigger wayand he brought a bag of tears to bed on multiple nights. No fun. At all.
I once asked him, "Mike, what was the key that helped you turn itaround?"
He gave me a simple answer, though very powerful.
Very.
He took seriously and BOUGHT INTO the philosophy of "Youdon't have to get it right, you just have to get it going."
He lived it.
He breathed it.
Then he started to accomplish more in 60 days than he used to in 2years.
His business started growing faster. He was growing faster.Things were starting to shake and bake at a higher level.
Way, way too many people impose self handcuffs on themselvesbecause they bought into the lie called perfection.
They wait till every 'i' and 't' are dotted perfectlybefore they enter the playing field.
The 'perfection mindset' is the precursor to living with your 'entrepreneurial feet' in cement. You never move.Frustrating.
He always reminds me that, we can stop struggling in our business.

We can start living the confident and masterful life.
We can start slaying the dragons called perfection andprocrastination.
***You don't have to get it right, you just have to get itgoing.

Let's say it out loud:
I don't have to get it right, I just have to get it going.
You, YOU, are talented, unique, and were born to do greatthings.
Get off your backside. Say to yourself, "Today is my day tosoar. It's my day to succeed."
Serve. Profit. Share. Develop.
You are a masterpiece. The world waits to see the artworkcalled your life.
You don't have to get it right, you just have to get itgoing.

200 Pesos

I remember Mike, talking in front of 100 people, a couple of years ago, started off his seminar by holding up a Php200 bill. In the room he asked. "Who would like this Php200 bill?" Hands started going up. Of course, I raised mine. He said, "I am going to give this Php200 bill to one of you" Then crumpled the 200 bill. I was surprised he did that. He then asked. "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air and again, I raised mine. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his black shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air and still, I wanted to get the Php200 bill. "Folks, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease it's value. It was still worth Php200. Many times in our lives, we ...

Be Grateful

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to k...
