When You Believe...
You Burn The Boats!

Hi Everyone,

It's Bill here...

When you believe that success is yours, it is! It's amazing how many people I talk to focus on failure. They begin to have conversations of "what if I fail?"

You get what you focus on.

You see, when you focus on failure, you are planning on it.

When you believe that you will be successful in an endeavor, then you will. I love the "Burn the boats," story about Cortez.

In February 1519, Hernando Cortez set sail on the final leg of an ocean voyage that was to take him from Cuba to the distant shores of the Yucatan.

He commanded 11 ships with more than 500 soldiers, 100 sailors, and 16 horses, bound for Mexico to take the world's greatest treasure. The rare jewels, gold, silver, and sculptures sheltered on the Yucatan had been hoarded by the same army for 600 years.

Cortez had heard of riches of the Yucatan. With his men they arrived on shore. They did not go and take the treasure immediately, they waited until they were ready.

Then Cortez told his men to "Burn the boats."

The men were outraged wondering how they were going to get back to their families!

Cortez told them to burn the boats and they would conquer the Yucatan army and gain their fortune. They would take the Yucatan's boats home.

Burn the boats!

So often, we give ourselves a back-up plan. We want to make sure that we have something to fall back on if things go wrong.

NO!

You see, by giving yourself a back-up plan, that becomes the plan.

Haven't you ever had those conversations with yourself? If this goes wrong, I can always get a job. If I don't like college, I can always go home. Some people even go into marriage with the attitude of if it doesn't work out, then I can always get a divorce.

You get what you expect to get.

Many people say they want success, yet aren't willing to move forward from their normal way of thinking. If you want different results, it will require a new way of thinking! One must be willing to take the required steps for success, to create success.

6 AMAZING Steps To Success

1. Focus On What You Want

The Law of Attraction says that whatever you give your attention and focus on you will attract more of the same, whether wanted or unwanted.

You get what you focus on. Focus on the good and you will attract more goodness. Focus on what you don't want and you will attract more negatives.

When you believe you will attract greatness, abundance and prosperity, I mean really believe it in your heart, watch what happens to your life!

2. Surround Yourself With Successful People

Mastermind with those who are getting the results that you want to create for yourself.

Take an honest look at who you hang out with. What conversations are you having? Ones that empower you, or are they conversations of lack and limitation? Dare to empower yourself by putting successful people in your path.

If you're looking to be a better parent, find great parents to ask questions. If you're looking to create a bigger bank account, find a successful entrepreneur to seek advice from.

3. Think From The End Result

Be the leader! Be the person you desire to be first. It all starts with the Be Do Have principle. Be Do Have is essential for success. You become in thought first who you desire to be, then do as that person would do, to have what they would have.

For example, a vegetarian doesn't have to think or worry about eating bacon at breakfast. Why? Because they've already decided whom they're being...a non-meat eater. It doesn't even come into their consciousness because they already made the decision on "being."

4. Always The Student

Stay open to learning new things. Not only do we require new knowledge in our professions, but new knowledge is fun! Take a class and meet new like-minded people. You never know what new knowledge might take your business to a new level.

5. Have an "Attitude of Gratitude"

All successful people understand the power of gratitude. If you aren't thankful for what you have right now, then how can you expect to create something even greater? Be grateful for all the wonderful things in your life today.

6. Live With Vision and Purpose

Do you have vision and purpose? Get clear about what gives your life purpose...

Is it helping other people?

Is is making a great income to live life on your terms?

P.S. If you said yes, to these questions, feel free to contact me, I can assist you in achieving your goals. Make your decisions based on your purpose and vision. Ask yourself, "Is this moving me toward my purpose?" If yes, do it. If not, then reevaluate. When you believe in your vision, write it down. There is incredible power in writing down your vision for life. Once its written, then you own it.
