Someone sent me an email this afternoon, that actually put me in a state of shock. Their message echoed something someone else mentioned to me over the weekend in regards to not being willing to put in a little bit of effort for something to achieve their goals and obtain success.
Both people stated they “simply didn’t have the patience” to go through a few hoops to access something extremely valuable to aid in their success.
In both cases, I discovered they were both complaining about something they were being given for free - a generous gift of knowledge to access, and yet they were whining about having to do something that would take both of them less than 60 seconds to do!
I admit… I was a bit shocked!
This led me to think… hmmmm… what kind of message have the “Success Gurus” been sending the world?
Are they somehow mis-guided to think that:
People don’t want to hear that success comes with a price.
They would rather be fed lies and hear success comes easy. Or that you simply “attract success” just by “thinking” about it.
I mean - sure - success BEGINS by thinking successfully.
But successful thinking is NOT “get rich quick“. That’s how millions of people are “duped” and “robbed” by their life savings - when Success Gurus sell them “hope in a bottle.”
People will pay any price for the promise of “Overnight Success“.
Yet they are unwilling to do a few simple things differently than they’ve ever done before in order to obtain true, long-lasting success that also comes with increased confidence and happiness as a result of a job well-done and well-earned.
So - I realize today I’ve gone over my quota of 60-seconds to motivate you into ACTION. But I trust if you’ve stayed with me this far - then YOU are a person who IS different than the rest.
You’re the type of achiever who IS willing to put a “little bit of effort in” for “Real Success Coaching and Advice”.
Am I right?
If you are a person committed to becoming successful and willing to do a few things differently than the common person sitting next to you… then you’ll enjoy the following motivational quote by one of my favorite Coaches, Vince Lombardi:
“To achieve success, whatever the job we have, we must pay a price for success.
It’s like anything worthwhile. It has a price.
You have to pay the price to win and you have to pay the price to get to the point where success is possible.
Most important, you must pay the price to stay there.”
I trust you agree… and are willing to pay the price of REAL Success that will double and triple your return as a result with every day that goes by from this day forward.
Will you?
If you answered yes - comment on this post below and mark your name in GOLD. Let the world know what type of thing you will do differently today to achieve your goals and dreams to achieve the ultimate success worth obtaining.

While I can’t know the true reasons people may give for avoiding doing the work necessary to succeed, I believe that too many are sold the sizzle only to find there is no steak.
Most people require a real push and a glimpse of what can really come to them. or they can’t make themselves go beyond their comfort zone.
I truly believe many people are willing to do the work. It’s up to those who offer guidance to reach out in ways that reduce the fear of “yet another failure”. We all need help at points in our life to stretch beyond what we believe are our limits.
Thanks for creating a system that tries to address that problem.

Ray,
I agree with your comment of “I believe that too many are sold the sizzle only to find there is no steak.” Man, what a great saying, I find this to be very true in many cases.
It’s really a shame as well because this kind of business practice is only aimed at one objective, and that is to take your money and run. I find this practice hurts the industry more than helps it.
But unfortunately most people need to go through the lame opportunities, or at least investigate them, before they will ever find the true gems (find “Acres of Diamonds” at www.leisureaudiobooks.com?aid=100570)
The blogi360 system is starting to bear fruit of the most desirable kind. Anyone reading this blog should really investigate it.
With Gods blessings, have a most excellent day.

“All things come to him who sits and waits, as long as he worketh like hell while he waiteth!” Failure is just a direction change on the path to success.

Aloha Raymond,
WOW - I agree with Yency - that IS a great observation!
And you’re soooo right on re: the responsibility of leaders to help reduce the fear in people to help them push past their “so-called” limits - or as you aptly put: ” stretch beyond what we believe are our limits.” YES!!!
I think that’s what helps me realize the importance of Marketing - it’s our responsibility to help people realize they CAN do it… and here are all the benefits to WHY and what you’ll get when you put a little “work” in.
Thanks for the reminder about people needing that push - I’ll take that to heart and PUSH you over the next few days to reach beyond your comfort zone!
