Aim For The Top!

A transcript from my voicemail 12.08.08

First things first Express Day 2008. 47 days to go guys and counting. Most importantly have you booked your ticket? If you haven’t yet booked a ticket, you are either not serious about building a successful business or about making money. In fact you should perhaps put the phone down right now! This event will be a sell out I can assure of that and I would hate for any one of you to miss out on what’s sure to rock your business into 2009. And as if the line up couldn’t be any hotter, yesterday HQ announced that international speaker BIG AL will also be gracing the stage. You can’t make money and excuses at the same time folks– you’ve got a choice to make – its in your hands. And please do encourage as many of your team to attend as physically possible. The more of your team in that arena on the 28th September the more exciting your year is going to get.

So this week is week 6 of the Summer Sizzler and I am loving it. Why, because it pushing me. It is pushing me to achieve more than I ever would have had Jimmy not set this amazing challenge. Ask yourself, is it really pushing you? Are you happy with your results so far? Do you feel each and every day that you’ve given 150% effort? Most importantly are you proud of yourself and of your activity so far. 122 IDs and 601 customers have been gathered so far in the Challenge – in the last 5 weeks, which is absolutely awesome. But I know there is room for improvement for ALL of us taking part in the Challenge...

My team and I are really making use of every single customer gathering and ID sponsoring approach out there. Win a Mini events, neighbour letters, contacting existing customers and asking them for referrals, handing out shed loads of micro cards on a daily basis, day in day out, not stopping, texting business owners, calling in on business owners and asking if they would like a free analysis of their utility bills – no obligation, customer gathering parties, and ensuring that for every customer you ever sign you obtain at least 2 referrals. Just think what size your business could be if you packed each and every week with all of this activity. I think it would excite you!

Watching the Olympics always inspires me, but never as much this years games. And for one reason alone. Michael Phelps. Michael is 23 years old and I believe is about to make history. His goal is to be the first ever athlete to win 8 Olympic Gold medals in one Olympic games. Something that has never ever been done before. He has 5 individual races and 3 team events to deliver in and he has won three out of three events already. This guy sets goals ladies and gentleman and he is a monster when he gets in that pool. There’s not a drop of self doubt, there are no distractions, giving anything less than his absolute best is simply not an option. And every hundredth of a second counts. He is focussed, he is on fire and the more he tastes success the more he wants he wants of it.

I really do believe that If you can dream about something, then you can achieve it. Its a difficult question but ask do you believe in yourself, do you believe in your abilities, do you believe that you can go out there today, this week and be your absolute best. The best you’ve ever ever been. Not letting anything or anyone get in your way. I believe the answer is yes. Every single one of us can. We’ve just got to believe in ourselves.

When Michael Phelps yesterday won his 2nd gold medal as the USA won the 4 x 100m relay, all eight participating countries broke the world record. I believe that the tempo for that race, the destiny of success was set by the goal of one man Michael Phelps. What could you achieve this week, this year if you dare to believe in yourself and what you are really capable of.

Ladies and Gentleman the time for thinking about things is over. This week I challenge you all to step up to the block, give the Summer Sizzler Challenge your absolute best and aim for nothing short of the top. There’s nobody stopping you achieve great things but yourself. Go for it guys and have an absolutely awesome week.
