We had the privilege of listening into the Digital Lifestyle Blueprint webinar with Jay Kubassek this week.
What is the Digital Lifestyle Blueprint exactly? . . . In a nutshell, it provides the answers to ALL these searching questions:
- Where did I come from?
- Where am I going?
- How am I going to get there?
- Who's going to help me?
- What if I can't make it?
- How do I know if I'm on the right path?
Stop and contemplate those questions for a minute.
And consider the FACT, your current way of thinking has only got you to where you are today (ouch!).
We're not saying your current way of thinking is wrong – because – IT IS WHAT IT IS. It can't be changed, because it's history. You have to agree with that?
However . . .
To change your circumstances, and NOT ACCEPT the status quo any longer, it's fair to say you must CHANGE your thinking.
In order to have more time, more money, more freedom . . .
. . . You need to change tack. You need a new strategy. You need to think differently!
Now we're not telling you this because we have all the answers for you – because we don't.
We're telling you this because, it's our first hand experience.
Back in 2009, when we were both laid off at the same time – we realised how stressed we were, how under-appreciated we were at work, how bored we were – and that we couldn't go on living life like that.
Our A-ha! moment didn't happen in a moment. It wasn't an epiphany. It actually took about 3 months of realisation to work out there was a better way for us.
Our intention here is to plant the seed of hope for you . . .
To help you grow the realisation what you're doing right now is not entirely right for you, and your decision to change doesn't have to be made overnight, but it has to be carefully nurtured.
So to help you in that respect, to help fertilise your thought processes, we're sharing Jay's Top 10 Personal Logic Success Statements for you to peruse, ponder and percolate.
The Top 10 Personal Success Statements Of All Time
[1] I THINK and ACT as if I am ALREADY SUCCESSFUL – It's too late to fail and I assume I'll succeed
We've talked about this already here
People think we’re “SUCCESSFUL” already . . . but, deep down inside, we’re not where we want to be . . . YET!
So we figured, if we ACT like we’re successful, sooner or later we’ll BE the success we want to be, and in the meantime, we’ll FEEL like we’re successful.
Seeing as these practices don’t cost anything, except discipline and time well spent, it’s pretty much a win-win, if you ask us.
[2] I am limited by nothing more than the KNOWLEDGE I LACK, NOT by my circumstances or who I am . . . therefore I am committed to investing whatever it takes in myself.
This boils down to resourcefulness. Most people think they need to have ready resources, or ALL the necessary knowledge before they can make change happen, but that's not the case. They simply need to be resourceful. To have the open-mindedness to learn, to commit, and to perservere.
Think of your knowledge as a bank account. You can't make a withdrawal from an account that isn't funded, can you?
[3] I will never outperform my self-esteem. (Whether it's love, money, health etc – we settle for exactly what we intrinsically believe we are worth/deserve)
We wrote about this in our book. With regards to income, how much you earn right now is what you think you're worth. Because you've settled for that. Because it’s a standard you’ve set for yourself. But, that’s also why you only earn what you do, because that’s your standard.
So if you want to quadruple your current income, you can’t do that with a standard that’s labelled with how much you currently earn. It won’t work. Your standard has to be raised. So you have to change your thinking, change your beliefs, and change your self-worth label.
[4] READY, AIM, FIRE – I am strategic – I always start with the end in mind. People don't plan to fail, they fail to plan.
Most people think this is the boring bit, so they skip over it, with the notional thought they'll come back and doing it properly (we're speaking from experience here – guilty!). In fact, this is the pivotal bit – it's the part where you prove to yourself you're taking your business seriously. Not treating it like a hobby, or dabbling, or trying!
Successful businesses and successful entrepreneurs have business plans. They have a strategy. And they have goals.
[5] I know that busy-ness is often a form of laziness. I am proactive and productive.
We live in a fast-paced world. We demand fast results. And we all only have 24 hours in the day. Each moment of precious time (you can't get it back once it's wasted, right?) must be handled with care.
EVERYBODY says they're busy – but most are tricking themselves about being productively busy. Don't fool yourself. Work smart. Busy yourself with money producing tasks.
[6] Birds of a feather flock together. Therefore I choose my friends and influences carefully.
Surround yourself by people who will stretch you, inspire you, and earn more than you – rather than those who equal you, demoralise you, and earn the same as you.
[7] I am willing to question everything I know. I know that I don't know what I don't know.
Don't accept the status quo. Just because something has been done a certain way for years or for decades, doesn't mean it's right today in the 21st Century.
Also, be happy to build knowledge and invest in yourself at your own pace. Our coaching experience has taught us that some people grasp issues and principles quicker than others – so it's vitally important not to compare your progress with anyone else – only compare yourself to the version of you one month or one year ago.
[8] I understand that remuneration (the money I earn) is compensation for service rendered. Therefore, I seek to get paid for the value (products, services etc) I deliver.
You earn from the value you deliver. The more value you deliver to help a person solve a problem, and the more people you help, the more you earn.
A big blocker most people face is they don't give themselves credit for how much they know. And because they know how to do something they assume everyone else knows it too. Which is completely wrong!
Learn how to package your knowledge in a way to best help others, albeit by way of an affiliate product, then you'll earn what you're worth.
[9] The outcome is more important than the process. If there is a way, I will find it. I am resourceful and creative.
The process will involve making mistakes and failing your way forward. Note: the word ‘failure' is only used by employees. Entrepreneurs test out mistakes in order to learn. However, if an entrepreneur makes the same mistake a third time – that's dumb.
The important focus is the result, and not the steps taken to get there.
[10] I know that I get more of whatever I focus on . . . I know my strengths and my weaknesses. Therefore, instead of focusing on my weaknesses, I focus on my strengths.
As Tony Robbins always says: “Where focus goes, energy flows”. Given that growing any business is a roller coaster ride, it's essential to focus on the positive aspects i.e.: your strengths.
Nobody is great at everything. It pays to outsource the dreary, repetitive stuff, and the stuff you don’t like doing, and the stuff you’re no good at doing. That’s why we work together, because our strengths and weaknesses are complimentary.
So, what's YOUR NEXT STEP?
We hope you enjoyed this post and learned something from it.
What we’re out to achieve here is the questions to you need to be asking yourself and the statements you need to be making to yourself so you can make that Digital Lifestyle a reality and change your lifes for ever.
So we encourage you to think about that and think about the effort required to build an online business in the perspective of grinding away at a job earning money to line other people's pockets!!
Decide to educate yourself on leveraging the internet so can take control of your own live/time/freedom.
As Mahatma Gandhi said:
Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
Learning about working online, being an affiliate marketer and running an online business is a life long skill.
We learned all we know from Six Figure Mentors – and we love the authenticity and integrity of their training and education.
What's more, we love their business system as it removes the hurdles from the steeplechase – so you don't need to be a techie.
So if you're serious about building a profitable online business, now is the best time to start. Get educated and start living and earning as you're meant to.
