Golden Losers

William J Blythe IV. What a name to begin life with, more so when you're born in a tiny town of 1200 people, with poverty a standard of life.

His dad died before he was born. His stepfather, Roger, used to beat Billy's mom when alcohol would take over in the house. Living in Hope, Arkansas doesn't promise too much, does it? Well, he did have 2 things going for him: he was a decent student, & his mom preached the value of persistence on a daily and oft-repeated basis. It would seem he learned well from her. With the Boy's Club, he went to Washington, D.C.; took a tour of the White House, and actually got to shake hands with the President of the United States. A photographer happened to be less than 5 feet away, and took a photo of the US President shaking hands with young Billy Blythe...... There's a lot to be said of that photograph, and of the smiling, near-arrogant gleam in the eye of that 16-yr old kid.

I still have a copy of that photograph, and I'd swear you can hear Billy Blythe's thoughts as he smiled into the eyes of JFK: "I admire you, I want to be like you, and someday I'm going to be US President." It's written all over his teenage face for history to examine.

Hard to decry or deny that look on his face, in his eyes. That young man was adopted by his stepfather, Roger. Naturally, he changed his last name. 28 years after the photo was taken, William Jefferson Clinton was sworn in as President of the United States. Four years later, he took the oath of office for a second time. Persistence is the greatest power on earth.

On Nov 8, 1970, New Orleans was losing a football game to Detroit, 17-16. Last play of the game. Everyone's wondering who's this 'big old crippled guy' walking onto the field, since it was quite obvious that the man was missing a hand AND the front of his right foot. The announcer advised that they were watching Tom Dempsey, the Patriot's official kicker. It was a kick heard round the world: Tom Dempsey, born with what YOU might call 'handicaps,' kicked the single longest field goal in the history of professional football: an astonishing 63 yards!! Needless to say, New Orleans won the game. Tom's persistence paid off.

I remember reading of a baseball player who made it to St Louis' professional team many years ago. Never hit a home run, never saved a game with a single play, but by God he was a professional player... even though he only had one arm!!! Like Jim Abbott, I suppose, who pitched 90 MPH fastballs for San Fransisco… DESPITE HAVING ONLY ONE ARM !!!

What's YOUR excuse for not pursuing your personal best?

Common to these people is the same identical first step:the ability to describe with exquisite precision what they want, usually in ten words or less.
When you see this happening with hundreds of people who've individually climbed up to the three highest rungs of America's corporate leadership, the scientific word is "pattern."

Patterns do not occur accidentally,
particularly patterns of excellence

Excellence is nothing more, and nothing less,
than doing something finely, and repeatedly: a pattern.
Paying heed to these patterns means reducing the trial and error process, and provides shortcuts to duplicating the desired result.

Secondly, most of them have written notes on what they're aiming at. If it's not worth putting into writing, it's probably not worth considering... ...unless, of course, you know more than the CEO's of our Fortune 500 companies.
Put it in writing!

Third, they asked for what they wanted more than anyone else.

They asked.

And asked.

And asked.

…And asked again.

And guess what they did AND STILL DO when they can't get that "Yes" ???

You guessed it, sister:

THEY ASKED AGAIN.

You've known since you were a child that the more times you ask for what you want, and the more people you ask for what you want…
… the more you will receive what you want.

When did you stop asking?
It's the single fastest way to get whatever you want in life.

That's why and how you'll prove how smart you are, and can be, using a simple technique which amounts to the single greatest power any human being has ever had, and certainly the single fastest shortcut available to you, or to anyone else who's smart enough to hush up and use it this very hour and day:Ask more people, and ask people more.

Now, let's put these high-powered tools to use together, which considerably,
measurably speeds up the quality and quantity of your results.

• Identify a dozen or more people who are already doing well at what YOU want to excel at.
• Write each of them a short note, along the lines of, "Hi, we both know you're top-notch in your field. I wish to make a contribution to the world as magnificent as yours. With expert guidance, I just know I can be in that top five percent." May I buy you lunch in hope that you'll be my mentor for 20 or 30 minutes?

More times than not you can expect an answer. At least half the time, you can expect an invitation to lunch. The one significant exception I've encountered is with entertainment celebrities. Although many are famous and wealthy, few of them give a long-term appearance of fulfillment or happiness. That makes it very difficult for them to share, Naturally, there are exceptions; to date, it has proven to be the rule.

For a hundred different career fields, we have people who've risen to the top faster and more effectively than others. I'm sure you can understand why they are considered to be the single best source of guidance for success in any field. For a few dollars worth of stamps, you'll be bowled over by the general decency and willingness to share that is such a basic part of a true role model.

The truth is, between 80 and 90% of our role models are people who 'started in their uncle's rented garage' or some such modest beginning.
Two college students renting a room in their aunt's attic came up with rent.net out of desparation to find an apartment. Within five years, both had hundreds of millions of dollars, not merely because it was a dot com company, rather, because it served several million hungry wannabe apartment and house-renters.

Every invention idea is laughed at and scorned... right up until the time that one decision maker believes in it, and backs it... all the way to success. Television, the electric light bulb, the Sony Walkman, and every other toy and contrivance you can imagine, began as a 'silly' dream in someone's mind. With over a hundred documented examples, there's a clear pattern. USE THE PATTERN, just as a dressmaker does.

A mother fed up with expensive toys too easily and quickly broken, creates simple, durable toys for her kids and their friends, next thing you know people are paying her to make more for theirkids... and seven years later her toy company is grossing a hundred and eighty million dollars per year. Can you imagine her husband's eyebrows when this housewife approaching forty tells her husband she needs money to start a toy company although she's never had a paying job in her life?

How about a guy so broke at Christmas he uses his grandma's recipe? Note that this was a WRITTEN recipe. Ah, that magical written map that guarantees success whenyoufollow the map, hm?

Because he couldn't afford Christmas gifts, he decided to bake chocolate chip cookies to give all of his friends and family, placing each dozen cookies in a little brown paper bag. Be honest, now: what possible expectations of success do you personally prognosticate and predict for a man of 42 who cannot sign his own name because he's completely illiterate? He had a dream, and the second he got someone to help him by putting that dream on paper with a written deadline,and a list of people who could help him, and the smaller steps necessary to take a "silly" dream all the way to reality.... it transmogrified from a dream into a goal. Literacy Volunteers of America, known as LVA, began teaching him, at age 42, how to read the alphabet, and enunciate "Dick and Jane see Spot," while his friends and family clamored for more of those incredible cookies.

In between his reading lessons, he rented a shack on the beach in Hawaii, ran a very long extension cord to an outlet he could 'borrow' electricity from, and baked the cookies he decided to call Famous Amos Cookies.

Since he had no money for marketing or advertising, he took the simplest, shortest path to success: he went to grocery stores, approached the manager or owner and stuck out a bag, saying, "Hi, please taste one of these and tell me if you have ever had such a delicious cookie." One bite was about all it took for store after store after store to take every bag of Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies he could produce and deliver.

He asked, and asked, and asked, and then asked again. All smart people know what happens when you ask for something hundreds, and yes, even thousands of times...SUCCESS is what happens.

Within seven years, this (formerly) illiterate and financially destitute broke adult was able to thank the LVA for teaching him how to read as a grown adult. He thanked them handsomely; with a check for ten million dollars.

A postcript to the legend of Wally Amos is also useful for you and I to learn from. You see, ten years after he founded the company, he decided to retire to a life of teaching other illiterate adults how to read. He sold the Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Company for forty million dollars. Sadly, people he thought he could trust ripped him off for the majority of his money. The only business he'd known was baking chocolate chip cookies, and that's it.

The moment that his noncompetitive clause expired, he was back in the chocolate chip cookie business, with a new company, and a new cookie. He proved that Charlie Jones was right in saying, "It's not how hard you fall that matters, it's how high you bounce."

It would've been easy, and maybe even understandable if Bill Clinton had 'bought into' the level of mediocrity so endemic, so common, in those raised in poverty, or with alcohol-fueled abuse, or worse. ...and no one would've been surprised if Wally Amos had never amounted to much; after all, he was still bumming around at 42, illiterately, no less. In their case, as with most of our Masters and Millionaires, they found others who did it well, and they copied them. Wally copied his grandma's recipe, and Bill Clinton copied his heroes, JFK and Abraham Lincoln. Several encyclopedias today include that famous photograph of a 15-year old 'country bumpkin' shaking hands with his role model, the U.S. President.

This is not an endorsement for being just like Mike, as the famous ad exhorts us. It's a simple, powerful reminder that there are faster, easier, smoother paths to your own success. They have been paved by the blood, sweat and tears of those who pioneered the field you wish to excel in. Go ahead; call them, write them, email them, send them tape cassettes of you recording yourself asking them to be your mentor for a half-hour. Reap the fruits of asking, because no power on earth will ever bring you more than the power of asking for what you want... asking it of those who are in a position to say yes, and able to back up that yes.

Shortcuts of Masters and Millionaires

Three of the powers that only humans possess are:

the ability to put a desire in writing... the ability to create a set of planned steps toward attaining that desire... ...and the ability to take those ordered steps.

As with every great power, whether or not you get to taste the sweet fruits of magnificent accomplishment is determined far less by outside events than by the choices that you have in front of you at this moment and mostly every moment of your life. As always, the choice is exclusively yours.

Since power is as knowledge does, here's your chance to get it done faster.

Power over events, objects, and other people is attainable within minutes, because any one of the ten or so PowerGems we customarily encounter in life is enough to produce fast, compelling results when used even somewhat intelligently and, of course, repeatedly repeatedly repeatedly.

Here's a great example: Ask twelve girls one time each, and you just barely have a chance that one will say yes. Ask one girl twelve times -- or two girls six times each-- and you have an 80%+ probability of obtaining a yes!! Do you think succeeding at what you love best takes more than this? Much more importantly, will you stop offering unlearned, insufficient opinions long enough to employ this excellent, useful technique in THIS twenty-four hour period? As always, your words cannot and will not influence us near as much as your actions, hm? People who do it better are fantastic sources of information!

For those few of you who are geniuses (according to Albert Einstein, genius is "nothing more and nothing less than the ability to take an infinite number of pains an infinite number of times",

This makes it easier to understand the unparalleled record of Thomas Edison, who lost more money for more investors than any other inventor before or since. Detailed records indicate that he struck out with more inventions than any other inventors before or after him.

Just like Babe Ruth striking out the most AND hitting the most home runs, it's no coincidence that Thomas Edison also invented more creations than any other individual (1,954 patents, of which 1,860 were commercially marketed within a 20-year period).

Like the majority of record-holders in all areas of human competition, the one who succeeds the most also strikes out far more than average. In the last minute or so, you've been reminded of two separate, life-changing powers that you can tap into on command without spending money or even great lengths of time. From the top of this page to the last paragraph, you were reminded of several other INSTANTLY productive PowerGems already at your disposal. Question is, do you nod your head like a moron, SAYING that you understand, with your actions disproving your own statement within minutes? Hello?

For those who are convinced that this does not apply to you, precisely what excellence of effort did you personally embrace in the past hour? What about this next hour? Will you approach it with a great desire to do it better... ... or will it be more of the same lame blame you've been laying for too long now? We cannot tell what you know by what you say you know.

We've got eleven million people in America worth a million or more dollars; nearly seven million of whom are earning more than eighty thousand dollars per month, most with little or no college. In almost every case, we can see these many groups of a hundred thousand self-made millionaires per group doing the same things, and using the same shortcuts. Now it's your turn.

Make no mistake about coincidences: As of this writing 471 human beings own or control more than 60% of all the money on your favorite planet. Few indeed have much in the way of formal education, let alone degrees. They got where they are by no accident; rather, by design and intent. Without argument, their single most identifiable commonality is their willingness to ask for what they want more than everyone else. Do you really and fully grasp this? There are a billion people per day asking for money. Some get it, some don't. When someone like Bill Gates wanted to sell a new product, he knew when the alarm clock went off that asking a billion people (repeatedly) to buy your product will always produce more sales than merely asking ten people. That's where you come in. Even though you already possess the resources to ask a billion people (starting with the internet) for whatever you want, you have, for some reason, refused to ask more than a few people, and even they are only asked by you once or twice, most of the time. True, or not?

Now it's your turn.

You don't need to blow your budget, at least not your financial budget. Conventional thinking is the most specific inhibitor of all great discoveries. As George Bernard Shaw happily reminded us,

"The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, and the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends upon the unreasonable man."

If your neighborhood security guard had a long-time day job driving a local delivery truck, and talks kinda funny, suddenly says, "I'm moving to Hollywood, I've got to go for it," every single person in the neighborhood, including you, seems to say, "WHAT'RE YOU, CRAZY??!! You'll NEVER make it."

So when we see a Michael Clarke Duncan, born without a dollar, reaping millions of dollars after winning an academy award for his first-ever acting part ( The Green Mile ), please don't think it was a fluke. This man did NOT get to the top of his personal ladder by luck, unless you understand that 'luck' is acronymic for
L aboring Under Correct Knowledge.

Mr. Duncan and thousands of "sudden" success stories every single week after week after week are not as suddenly successful as first glance might indicate. Based on one particular desire that they have, they near-obsessively focus on just one or two of the greatest PowerGems at their disposal, and get very busy.

The larger majority do it with a minority of their time; as little as an hour or two per week.

From brain surgery to auto detailing, raising a child or earning megabucks, every human task on earth can be learned and mastered by you twice as fast, five times as fast, even fifty times faster than conventional methods will teach. It really does boil down to desire and fear.

If you were deserted on an island or mountain or in a forest and knew that you absolutely had to perform rudimentary surgery on your child to save his or her life, honey, you best believe a loving parent will do WHATEVER is necessary to save that child's life.

You're constantly saying that you don't have time to pursue excellence as a part-time sideline, not even one percent of your time. You'll spend 33% of your life sleeping, another 33% working, and no less than 18% of your time on intensely minor things such as red lights, useless conversation, etc. You'll spend thousands of minutes folding clothes in your life, and barely a hundred minutes in 80 years planning your life. Ouch. That explains why you don't have much in the bank either.

You've said many times that you just don't have time. Tell me, if, God Forbid, you needed dialysis three times a week or you'd be dead, would you MAKE time to go the hospital three times per week for the external washing of your very blood? Bet your sweet bippy you'd make time.

This document is a call to you. You're not paying cash for it, you're not being solicited to buy tapes and videos and time-coded CD's. You're being solicited for nothing more than one percent of your time; devoted exclusively to your happiness. It is so much easier than you might ever have realized. Just tap more into what you already have in order to have more to tap in to. If you don't clearly understand this, stop reading and give it some thought. Aha!! THOUGHT! Now there's something you rarely engage properly in. (Sorry, but just look at your life; isn't that proof enough? We're not here to belittle you, (ok, just a bit) far more to remind you how great you really are when you want to be.

That's really what everything boils down to: the difference between liking something, and wanting it. How much do you want it? Begin by asking for it. Duuuuuhhhn! Go ahead and ask today : ask more people, and ask those people more.

Ask twelve people ten times each and you are going to hear the word yes.

It is so simple that we don't see the forest for the trees!!
Do you know what you want?
Ask for it, and you shall receive it.

The most unfulfilled people are those who spend a whole lifetime getting paid for jobs they hate. This is such a revealing example of exquisite stupidity. You see, how we spend our minutes is a clear preview of how we're spending our lives. Every single day I try to play guitar and piano, write a thousand words, read a book, give service to others, eat delicious food, learn something new about my computer... and more. Even if it's just five minutes of noodling on the piano, I must have that time, so that each New Year's Eve, each birthday, clearly shows one hundred or more hours per year at my favorite thirty things.

Are we on the same page here?

Whether it's finding a way to get paid for doing whatever you love the most -- instead of just having a job for three or seven or twenty years... ...

...or attaining a date with that dreamboat...

...or losing 30 lbs...

....or finding a way to invest in quality time with loved ones...

or owning your own home within 100 weeks...

,,,or any other desire you can name... you have instant access to accelerated results. It may take a day or two, on rare occasions more, for you to see some of the results. Since you're already GETTING results, better use of the tools you already possess can only increase the speed and quality of those results.

The more ardently AND repeatedly that you use the resources already at your disposal, the faster you'll see more of the results your inner heart wishes for.

I know you've got more than 200,000 temperature detectors in your body, 107 million visual receptors of incredible sophistication in each eye; more than 500 THOUSAND touch detectors; 48,000 hi-tech receiving fibers in each ear, more than FOUR MILLION pain-sensitive structures in your body... and literally tens of thousands of millions of computer chips within your brain to handle all that information at a rate that makes lightning speed look like a crawl. With all this and so much more at your command, are you really trying to tell me that you can't double your income in the next 100 to 200 days? Oh, you're a slowpoke, and it might take you 300, or even 400 days. Gee, what a bummer. Four hundred days to make a dream come true... Are YOU capable of committing to a dream come true? 330 days x 15 minutes pr day = 5000 minutes of practice. Enormous results every time.

"But if I've never done it before, how am I supposed to know how?"

Power Shortcut: find people who are already doing it. Over the past 9 years, I've been able to study 5,200 of the most successful people in history. Tapes, books, internet, university findings, videos, & more, full time! Throughout this period, I tried to list every commonality I could find in these people. At the same time, I experimented with some of the commonalities in my own life. I was supposed to be in a wheelchair for life, thanks to a drunken driver hitting a van I was a passenger in... at 100+ MPH. It seemed to me that nooobody knows better about how to do something.... than people who have done it. Not talked about it, advised about it, suggested, demanded/offered; no, no, no, we're talking about PEOPLE WHO SHUT UP, WENT OUT AND DID IT.

I specifically looked for people who'd overcome life-challenging physical obstacles. People who wanted something specific, & did it not just once, but numerous times. Boy, was I in for some surprises! (EXAMPLE: Of more than 5000 people who hit the top in their field, better than 93% of our topmost achievers, without exception, had long histories of screwups, failures, and/or inactivity prior to becoming superexcellent). This alone represent the single largest common trait. So already we see instant good news for those of us who tend to strike out a great deal.

Are you surprised to learn that far more than half of all world records are achieved by people who also hold 'opposite records.' People like Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Mickey Mantle: three largest achievers of home runs, who are also the three players who struck out more than any other players. Fran Tarkenton had more of his passes intercepted than any other quarterback in NFL history... and also had more pass completions than any other quarterback in NFL history. Even people like me who don't like or approve of professional sports as they are today know that Ricky Henderson got caught trying to steal bases more than any other player before him or since. Although he failed at this one task more than any other player in the history of American baseball, he also successfully stole more bases than any other player in the history of American baseball.

Do you vaguely understand the mathematical perfection here that you can use in the next sixty seconds and sixty minutes to your phenomenal profit and benefit?

It is critically important to your life that you not confuse understanding something with actually knowing something. What you know means nothing to any of us, as you may have figured out by the results you've been getting in your life. What you DO with what you know is fascinating to all of us, when you do it better. For your own sake, slow down a moment here to focus that statement like a pleasant flashlight on yourself: What you know means little to us, what you DO with what you know means a great deal to us.

Would you waste even ten seconds arguing the fact that you personally live in the single richest era of opportunity that has ever existed?

You can now instantly access more than one hundred million different computers in a matter of seconds -- even if you don't have a computer -- you can go to your public library and use the Internet for free.!

If you do have a computer and a phone line, you can get FREE internet service from more and more sources, which immediately ties you to millions and millions and millions of computers, all waiting for your personal tap.

Most importantly, if you want to know how to do something, you seriously accelerate your speed in achieving any human effort by simply duplicating the physical motions and/or actual words of the people who have done it repeatedly.

Don't complicate it: knowing it and understanding it are not the same. The only way to tell the difference is by observation of action. YOUR action. Action taken and action not taken. We call it 'empirical evidence.' It's the loudest of all. Taking action demands possession of good information. Please tell us, who knows better than those who are doing it again and again and again, until appearing to do it effortlessly? Do you really think we believe that you know better than they do? ...Hellooooo?
Answers from the people who've already done it. Do you get it? -- People who have already done it. Sweetheart, it doesn't get any better than the horse's mouth. When twelve different billionaires personally and individually tell you they all had some type of DAILY WRITTEN list AND that they asked people for what they wanted more than anyone else did, you'd have to be stupid to ignore either one of these two obviously powerful shortcuts. When your studies elicit the fact that more than seventy billionaires have made private or public comments that asking more produces more and everything else is just talk, do you have the brains to INSTANTLY start asking more people for whatever it is that you want in life, and asking those people more times each?

What happens when you --- and I literally, particularly do mean you --- when you combine your understanding with the mathematically perfect guarantee from using the 'opposite record' to your advantage? Who holds the record for most misses almost uniformly will hold the record for the most successes.

Mathematically, there's no argument that if you try something ten times in one year, you can't possibly be as good at when you try that same thing 1000 times within one year, yes or no? It's so simple that your brain is missing it entirely. You have all the reasons and excuses. Arthur Marzigliano laughingly repeated on a regular basis, "There are thousands of excuses for failure, and only one reason." He'd patiently wait, and if we didn't respond quickly enough he'd yell, "Inadequate effort, dummy!"

It's the ultimate catch-all and do-all that decides whether you get what you want in life. It consistently and even always boils down to that one question: "Did you do it enough times to get it?" Yes, or no. Either you put forth sufficient effort to make it happen.. ... or you didn't. All else is meaningless, truly meangingless mental meandering of an immoderately myopic mind.
Like it or not, 90% of us, no matter what education level we've got, are so intensely stupid we'll read only one chapter of a book, barely making use of the instantly tranferrable power found in its pages. Ouch.
We know you're smart enough to understand HOW, I'm merely observing that more than 90% of you are not smart enough to DO.

Remember: It's not what you know, it's what you DO with what you know that determines your success or failure in everything you do from birth to death.

Since you use this huge power every day for minor things, why not apply the same rules to major things? Obviously, power shortcuts produce results: I walk, run, ride my bikes and live each day with passion and excellence in mind, despite being told I'd be in a wheelchair for life. I've broken or shattered records at company after company. It's not me, kids, it's the Power Shortcuts used by Winners.

Identify what you want, and in the next five days, produce 100 or more ideas for making it happen. You simply cannot comment upon it until you've given it a fair shot. In every single case, the person who produces 100 ideas within 100 hours always and consistently thinks better, faster, and smarter... leading inexorably to better results. Most of the ideas will probably be unworkable, or unaffordable, etc. However, every single time that you use this phenomenally powerful tool, there will be a few very good ideas, and one or two that are genius-like. It works every time, for every human being who puts it to use. SHUT UP! SHUT UP! Shut up! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO OPINE UNTIL YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE TO BACK IT UP!!

Perhaps 7% of you are going to get excited, and you'll be smart enough to actually DO IT, while fools won't. The proof that you do NOT know better is found in your bank balance. If you knew better, you'd do it better. Those who write 5 or 10 ideas per day will DEFINITELY accomplish more this next month than you have in the past 6 months.

UNCONDITIONALLY GUARANTEED SuperShortcut: the person who writes five or ten new ideas every day for achieving any imaginable human goal will produce more in the next 300 days than you have produced in your entire life. Guaranteed every time. Whether you're smart or stupid is NOT determined by whether or not you understand this... it's based on whether you're smart enough to shut up and write five or ten or fifteen news ideas each and every day of your life. Everything else is garbage out of the mouth.

If you ignore 99% of all the wisdom and foolishness in the world and use this one fantastic trick, this immensely powerful shortcut every day for even twenty or thirty days, you will find magic happening in several areas of your life. Prove it wrong or right NOT with your too-quickly-uttered, mostly ignorant opinion. Prove or disprove it with your actions, because it's the only thing about you that any human being ever has or ever will respect about you. NOT your uninformed opinion; rather, your INFORMED opinion, your EXPERIENTIAL opinon. Your opinion, by definition is ignorant, until you've done it ten, twenty, thirty days. THEN we all must heed your words on the subject, since you're the one in the room who's done it.

... and that's really the whole point of all this effort we've both gone to in order to arrive at this sentence. Enormous resources that change lives in a single day are at your immediate disposal. If you understand, please tap your hoof three times. Prove that you understand by having just enough discipline to set aside a solid, uninterrupted five minutes per day just for you and your inner thoughts. If you wish to become fantastically successful, you'd have to invest a full ONE percent of your time... .... fourteen point four minutes per day of the 1,440 minutes that you're issued every 24 hours. Fourteen minutes focused exclusively on one thing that you really love to do, and are willing to seek ways to get paid for doing.

If you haven't got the brains to set aside just five minutes per day for creating the map of your life, another five minutes TOTAL in each 24 hours to breathe much deeper than you normally do, five minutes reading or listening to something that will bring your laughter out loud, then, simply, you're an idiot, and you're invited to stop reading this. The personal and financial efforts that have been invested to bring you personally to the most sophisticated, effective, fast-acting shortcuts direct from masters and millionaires, champions and billionaires is far greater than your magnificent albeit tragically underused brain is likely to grasp.

You are invited to become a champion, or at least halfway to being a champion, at an incredibly accelerated rate. All you have to do is grab any one of these many life-changing, world-class SuperShortcuts and use even one of them every day for a few weeks. SHUT UP and see for yourself. Better and faster results something like 99.4% of the time. How can you beat odds for success like that? My goodness -- we're handing it to you on a silver platter here. Never before has anyone presented such a comprehensive detailing of the exact words and attitudes, tricks and techniques, the SHORTCUTS of virtually every world master in history. Like every great tool, you use it or you lose it.

We already know at this very minute that you are living by your written plan, or you're living by someone else's written plan. No exceptions, kiddo. For example, if you work for someone else, you only receive a portion of the money you are generating for that company or individual. That person or company has a written plan. If not, then in turn THEY are serving someone else's written plan.

You don't even need to understand this, or why; only that you can use this to your own advantage by using the same techniques as those who are already doing whatever it is you want to be good at. In every case, they ask for help. They asked for your help in making money for them. In return, they'll give you a portion of that, in salary or commission or stock... and you said yes. This is good only insofar as you use whatever it is you receive from them... using it to bring you your wishes and better desires before you leave this planet. You and I both know that you cannot do it tomorrow, because, as Henry Ford put it, "You cannot build a reputation based on what you're going to do."

We both know that you can only build your reputation based on what you did yesterday. In point of fact, you now have a reputation. It is the total of all your yesterdays combined with your actions today.

It's the explanation for how losers turn into winners -- they use more of their today's. When you are accused of being a drug dealer, and catch you in possession of crack cocaine, and a judge puts you in jail, you are labelled as a loser. That was true for Tim Allen. So how do you explain the fact that, just a few years later, he became the highest-paid performer on television, earning one million AND three hundred thousand dollars for each individual episode of his "Home Improvement" television comedy?

The answer is the same for him as it has been for hundreds of thousands and more hundreds of thousands of people every single year who are ADDED to the category of people who earn eighty thousand dollars per month or more.

Yes, you read that correctly: thousands of NEW and ADDITIONAL millionaires every single week for hundreds and hundreds of weeks, most of whom have no college degrees and a long, long list of screwups, strikeouts and obstacles. They all use less of their yesterdays and more of their todays. What about you? In every examined walk of life, top coaches, millionaires, Olympic gold medalists, scientists, entertainers, artists, politicians, ball players... literally every walk of life... it turns out that 10% of every group on earth rises to the top ten percent of their field. Are these people smarter? Better educated? Better connected to people in high places? Wealthier? The answer in each category is a flat, distinct, "NO!" It's been proven so many times that I'm not even going to waste your time explaining this in detail. Far too many people with wealth, connection, education, beauty, and more -- never come close to the top ten percent. So, what is it about these 10 of EVERY 100 who rise to the top?
Do they have commonalities?
Do they do or possess something special that we "regular joes and janes" can tap into? You have an unconditionally guaranteed "YES!" to both questions. Yes, they have commonalities. Yes, they possess something special that you and I can tap into. Wait until you hear the best part: you can tap into the same resources that they are, and begin effecting big changes in your life --- in a matter of minutes! MINUTES!!!

Knowing it is insufficient; the magic is in doing it. NOW.

Is there a catch? You bet:

The one catch/obstacle to you making radical improvements in your life is nothing more, or less, than making a decision to actually do it!

I kid you not. The decision to begin a new effort to get _____ or to be _____
THIS is where your biggest challenge is found. Not in the 'how.' There are dozens & hundreds of ways to do 99% of everything you'd ever want to do. That's a rock-solid promise. Finding the "how" is rarely ever a problem, my friend. The dream-breaking problem is finding a "why." Get through this first step, and you will come to understand IN THE NEXT 10 DAYS that you really ARE making big, big changes in your life. One thing we know for sure: when we have a strong enough "why," we always find a "how." You've done it before when you absolutely had to have a certain amount of money by a certain time, or a report/project that had a ridiculous deadline.... WHEN IT WAS IMPORTANT ENOUGH, You managed 'impossible,' DIDN'T YOU??!! Most people are, by definitition, too stupid to act upon the information they already possess, let alone new info. They simply don't want it badly enough. What do YOU want? Why do you want it? For example, this page contains information. If you understand it, and see its power, big deal. If you see the power, and USE it... you win. Printing this page is worth much more than you may realize.

Ruby's Rubies - Shortcuts of Masters and Millionaires

So, you're too old to change spots, ey?

Viola Krahn, at age 92, still winning diving championships.

George Bernard Shaw did not see his first play produced on Broadway until he was 94 years of age. A middle-aged cleaning woman you'd never miss found a copy of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich. Next thing you know, clubs, casino, and TV are paying big bucks for the comedy of Phyllis Diller.

A 70-yr old washed-up entertainer, long retired and "out to pasture," was rejected by over a dozen Hollywood agents when he decided to reenter comedy ten years after he'd retired!! One young agent gambled on him, and got 15% of nearly 12 million dollars earned by Jack Benny between the ages of 71 and 80.

Surely you remember that one fellow who entered a whole entire new career field in his 60's, and at the age of 74 was reelected President of the United States. Harlan Sanders never made a decent paycheck in his life until he opened his first Kentucky Fried Chicken at the age of 69. I could go on all day. Hilga Crooks climbed Mt. Everest, for the first time, at the age of 90, and has done it more than a half dozen times since!! When a lady three times my age can outclimb me, I don't think it's a physical difference, rather, a difference of asking better questions, which inevitably produces better decisions.

The very word decision says so much. It's from the latin root that gives us cisor -- which means to cut -- as in incision, which means to cut into.

As in recision, which means to cut back from.
As inexcision, which means to cut out.
As in Decision, which means to cut away from.

Decision: To cut away from any other possibility.
It is the difference between liking something, and wanting something. Everyone would like a Rolls Royce; only a few people want a Rolls Royce. Those who want a Rolls Royce do what they have to do, and guess what? They HAVE a Rolls Royce, or a souped-up Camaro or whatever it is that makes them grin from ear to ear..

Whoever you are, whatever your station, finances, or other position in life, I can guarantee you, unconditionally, that this very minute is the single most powerful minute of your life. How you invest, spend, or waste this next minute will clearly tell us a great deal about the past year of your life.... and this next upcoming year of your life. I say this because of Ruby #5: The way I spend my minutes is a clear and irrefutable preview of how I am spending my life.It applies to me, and it applies to you. As you can see, I'm producing at this moment; I'm taking at least one step at this very minute towards my long-term goal of being a world-famous author. Can you afford to laugh at my dream, if I'm taking steps toward my dream, and you're not? As always, talk is cheap, becausewhat I do, and what you do, speaks so loudly that we need not say a word: our actions are speaking for us.

What I'd like to know right now is: what are you doing with this next minute of your life? Are you creating a stronger, clearer desire to go for whatever it is that you most desire in this life? If you really believe you can be successful, are you showing it TODAY?

You're asked to consider the case of a decent, possibly eccentric fellow who designed an airplane. The thing is, he designed it 'wrong'. His boss didn't know it, being involved in other things. When the design worked its way up the ladder, expert designers immediately saw that the plane was not capable of attaining, let alone sustaining flight. Each new engineer said, "This plane will never get off the ground. " Twelve consulting engineers uniformly agreed that the designer had goofed, big time. Bureaucracy being what it is, plans to build the airplane actually continued. The designer of the plane believed in the plane he'd designed, and had invested years on the project, so he fought the good fight to get the plane built. He won. Good thing he took daily action; good thing this completely 'unflyable' plane got built, because one thing is certain: the 'unflyable' C-130 aircraft has flown more missions & saved far more lives than any other aircraft in history. Even today any student or expert in aeronautical design can look at the design and see that it is aerodynamically impossible for the plane to get off the ground. What makes it even funnier is that, according to the known laws of fight, it is perfectly impossible for a bumblebee to fly. How many of these so-called "impossibles" are still sitting inside of you?

Small daily steps yield HUGE results. George Bernard Shaw demonstrated his keen intellect when he reminded us of a truth that you can use personally, today, to make more and better things happen in your life, outside of external influences. He wrote that reasonable men adapt themselves to the world, whereas the unreasonable man adapts the world to himself... and therefore, all human progress relies exclusively upon the unreasonable man. Stretch your vision of what's reasonable for you.

Some people think I'm being a bit harsh in stating that most of us on this planet should contribute to resource conservation by conveniently walking into the ocean. It's tough to refute the idea that 90% of us are losers, NOT because we have less, rather, because we DO have more... and we decide not to use it. I'm sure you're not one of these people. You're living to your fullest potential, aren't you? I mean, YOU certainly don't flush your life down the drain in a day-by-day attempt to make it to the weekend, would you?

YOU'RE not the kind of person who watches TV two or three hours per day, are you? No, NO!! YOU are the kind of person who can state out loud exactly what it is that you want most, and YOU are the kind of person who is willing to describe your dream out loud (to yourself) & then write down just 20 ideas on how you would START to work towards making it happen, right? And, of course, you are living proof that this is the only day of your life in which you can show your excellence, right?

Whether you want to learn to juggle, or type fast, or get along better with your spouse or your kids/parents/co-workers/boss, etc.; or maybe you want to learn a new language, or a new career, or double your income in this next 12 months... No matter what it is that you want, I'm telling you, with an unconditional guarantee, that you can make 8 out of every 10 dreams come true or very close to true in 100 days or less.

Use the superpowerful shortcuts that are used by every single top producer on this planet. The only reason there are shortcuts? &nsp;Because the world's top producers took entire lifetimes developing them through trial and error. We already know that humans are capable of achieving anything that they can conceive. It's not what you're able to do; it's all about what you're willing to do, in the next 60 seconds and the next 24 hours. Use your power to act in this most important minute of your life.

What you know means little to any of us;
what you DO with what you know fascinates us to the point of trying to be like you.

Use a piece of paper right now and list just five things you can do in the next weeks or months that would create an ideal life for you. Surely you have the brains to write five short answers on a piece of paper, don't you? Within seconds of the action, you'll see how productive a step you've just taken-- by quantifying your ideal life in five smaller, more manageable steps. Best of all, you can list your five pieces with utter confidence that, empirically speaking, this technique produces results that are better than what you're getting now.

• You don't drive to the store without smaller steps getting there.
  
• You can't get a glass of milk without smaller steps along the way.
  
• You don't eat a serving of steak without cutting it into smaller pieces.
  

What could possibly induce you to think that your life's dream is really all that different from the travel, the milk, or the steak? Every task you complete from birth to death is the exclusive result of the steps or fractions that made it an accomplishment.Break one or more of YOUR life's dreams down -- - -- into five easy pieces.

The world's top producers in hundreds of different fields cannot all be wrong, with you right. If that were true, they'd be where you are, and you'd be where they are. They're not, you're not, so why are you waiting? Five smaller pieces on a paper in the next five minutes. Have a - whoops -- MAKE it - a star-spangled day... ... with five easy pieces.

The precise measurement of the outcome is the precise measurement of your efforts.

Investing 15 minutes per day for 365 days totals 5000+ minutes. Anything you do with serious focus for 5000 minutes will find you doing it better than 95% of the people around you, and considerably better than you yourself have ever done it, hm?

Using the shortcuts of masters and millionaires, we'd like to see you using tools already at your disposal... using them just a bit more.

Please remember that the winning horse in a race, earning double the amount of the horse that comes in second... does not have to run twice as fast... only a fraction of a second faster. The baseball player who hits .300 is paid triple the salary of a player who only bats .275. Does he hit the ball three times as much? Of course not: he gets a hit only one additional time for every 12 tries at the plate. Do you understand that you do NOT have to produce double and triple to earn double and triple?

One tiny additional effort, multiplied by the thousands of times we repeat a task in our lives, equals a life-changing expansion of results.

Here's our guarantee:
-- You don't pay us, now or ever.
-- give 10-14 minutes per day, we'll make you rich.
Is there any part of that you don't understand?
Again,
-- Use any two or more of the most effective shortcuts 10-14 minutes per day.
-- Within days, or at most, weeks, you'll find yourself richer and so much happier.

We receive no financial benefit. All banner money is magnetized to charity.

Our fee? Well, after you double your income, we believe you're now obligated to invest ten percent of your income for the rest of your life on whoever YOU believe is worse off than you. Period. You'll be the only one who knows that you stick with it.

Believe it or not, (it matters not), finding legitimate places to invest 10% of your current income is one of the many choices you have as shortcuts. Newton's Third Law of Physics states that every action in this universe carries an equal and opposite reaction. One of the 25 most certain truths of life is that the more you give away, the more you get back. For any further questions about this, we suggest you study the laws of gravity, a/k/a: "what goes up, must come down," and "What goes around must come around." We really don't care if you believe this or not: the laws of physics don't change, neither do PowerGems, the absolutely fastest, most effective set of guaranteed shortcuts ever produced by mankind.

Every single shortcut has been proven and/or observed/written/spoken about, by many thousands of millionaires, mostly self-made.

THESE are the shortcuts of masters and millionaires, Olympic Champions and billionaires. These are your personal tickets to phenomenal wealth and super-accelerated success in every single human endeavor. Guaranteed!

You don't care for the pragmatic realties of life? Here's one: every second that we focus on the unchangeable is a second lost from the fixable. . Focus on what's wrong, or focus on fixing it

Life has unpleasant realities. As with everything, there are only two choices: change it or don't change it. Most of the time, not changing it will specifically cause you more aggravation and pain. Stop and refocus on a single thought. Now stick with it: it's that fast.

Repeat it. Silently, out loud, who cares? No human alive wants you to be rich more than you do, with the possible exception of your mother.

Think about it. Since your thoughts are by definition most often focused on yourself, we at EasyStreet, USA simply feel that those thoughts are better invested in resolution than in complaining. There's no sense reading past this until you give this thought a good minute's contemplation: Fix the blame, or fix the problem. Focus on what's wrong, or focus on fixing it.

Fix the blame, or fix the problem. It's one of the ten huge chasms that separate smart people from brilliant people: What percent of your focus is on finding and implementing the answer... ... and then enjoying the results?
There is no human effort immune to these shortcuts. When you personally sit and break bread with a hundred different millionaires, one at a time, then another hundred, and another, and yet another hundred, and get to interview another 4,700 self-made millionaires, and you ask every single one of them the same few questions over and over, you are definitely going to hear the same valuable, useful, immediately applicable information.

Pay attention: from 1992 to 2000, an average of twelve thousand people became millionaires.... each and every week!!

The founder of EasyStreet, USA placed a hundred dollars into a bank account with a letter for the bank, instructing them not to touch it for two hundred years. That little tiny step called "interest," multiplied and added over a two hundred year period, will produce billions of dollars for food charities. Imagine the long-term effect on world hunger when a hundred, a thousand , even a hundred thousand people make this same effort towards solving world hunger!

Since very little is certain in life outside of our PowerGems, which are synonymous with most of Newton's Laws of Physics, we guarantee that your wealth, health, or any other -- whoops, just about EVERY other -- facet of your life will measurably improve at an accelerated rate.... unless, of course, you have found a way to defy the laws of physics.

Most of you who use one or two PowerGems in this book will merely double your income in the next 100 days. That's a given. This page is addressed specifically to 7 of you out of every 100, who simply have the hunger to reach out for more. Most of you who use two or more PowerGems on a daily basis, for at least fifteen minutes per day, will be, one year from now, far, genuinely far beyond where you are today.

Please, bring us people who have an urgent desire to succeed, to win, to live well, laugh well, and share with those less fortunate. These hungry people are your leaders for tomorrow. These are the people we most cherish in our quest to empower people to empower themselves.

Do Masters & Millionaires Get Satisfaction

The shortcuts to success cannot possibly fail; we can only fail to use them. Shortcuts to satisfaction are a fine example of how powerfully our minds and desires can advance the quality and even quantity of life. The happier we are, the more efficiently our immune systems work, and when we have health, it's FAR easier to pursue life's sublime pleasures.

In the belief that all of us have too few sweet moments of life, and too many sour ones, we definitively benefit from one of the surest, most complete shortcuts to more and larger doses of satisfaction. Say that again, and think that again: More and Larger Doses of Satisfaction. If your life is such a bowl of cherries that you don't want more and larger doses of that laid-back "ooohhh yesssss," well then feel free to pass this on to someone who does.

Let's look at the word satisfaction. The creators of Latin, the language from which 1200 root words create 100,000+ words of the English language, knew what they were doing. All of our words have a clear rationale for why they are constructed the way they are. It's fascinating, and not too uncool.

Since the only way to understand how sweet a feeling satisfaction actually is -- is to feel it -- you are now asked to bring up from your internal memory banks a reaaaally good experience that left you with… you got it… that feeling of satisfaction? Take a moment please to bring it into focus before reading any further. One of your really great moments.

... Got it? Remember how you felt? Nice feeling, isn't it? In fact, if you're genuinely focusing on it this minute, you're actually smiling and/or reliving it a tiny bit, true enough?

Hang on to your socks, because this perfect fact of life is going to alter the speed and accomplishment if not the entire direction of your life within minutes of using it.

First, you must answer one question:

What did you personally have to do with the event? Virtually nothing ever happens to you that you didn't contribute to with one or more actions; so, what did you contribute to the event that had you smiling and feeling good? Since we know you can identify your contribution, the question is, will you identify that contribution?


As it is with every single construction of every single idea, invention, book, or item sold, the absolute fastest way to get anywhere is to work backwards and live forwards. Double and triple your results in any given field of human endeavor in as little as sixty seconds. From tossing paper balls into a garbage can from across the room to generating love, money, music, or anything else you are willing to envision, the only limit is the limit that the face in your upstairs mirror sets and accepts.


Using a map? That's working backwards and living forwards. You start by examining where you want to end up, and then use written or printed instructions on how to get there from where you are now. If you ever discover an exception to this rule of working backwards and living forwards, please advise the world immediately. We will shower you with Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, acclaim, accolade, and piles of money. Trial and error is wonderful for those who like to go the long way in order to take longer to accomplish less, mathematically and chronologically speaking. Working backwards and living forwards is faster, and more fun.


Even that simplest of pleasures, satisfaction, fits the rule Let's work backwards, so that we can enjoy it forwards, in at least one or two larger doses in this very 24-hour period, s'aright?


Start by looking at the last six letters of the word "satisfaction." Even you aren't likely to argue against the reality that when we want that physical and emotional feeling of satisfaction, we obviously must take action, agreed? Really great things don't happen until we contribute, right?

Great. Now, look at the first five letters: s-a-t-i-s. That's one of our 1200 Latin roots. It means "enough" or "sufficient."

Finally, look right in the middle of the word: "fac" from the Latin "facere" which means to create from pieces, such as in manufacture, or factory.


So let's just jump right in to the middle. When we create sufficient action, we get a feeling generated by having created sufficient action. The word we use is, ah, you guessed it, you genius, satisfaction.

Once you actually acknowledge to yourself that Life is going to deliver only the rarest moment of true satisfaction except for those occasions where you personally increase its occurrence, your mind is better attuned to look for opportunities to make those moments happen. Even the simplest pleasures come from something that you did to encourage it.

Reading two Robert Crais novels this weekend, both with a protagonist who has a cat, I was lamenting my own inability to keep pets at this time. Less than an hour ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find a cat quietly, contentedly sitting on my living room floor. In Brooklyn, NY, some of our neighborhood's homeowners occasionally feed stray cats to encourage their presence. This keeps the rodent population at a lower level than in other neighborhoods.

Although the four cats that I've seen now and then near my house have never once let me approach them, this unexpected-yet-welcome visitor allowed me to feed and even tickle him a bit. Such pleasure did it bring me to solemnly hand my new friend pieces of chicken one at a time, which he plucked from my fingers with careful consideration, and even a measure of feline dignity. When I went to the kitchen for more, I returned to find he'd gone into my bedroom and plopped right under my bed. I was astonished, and pleased… and yes, satisfied.

Refusing any more of the chicken I offered, he let me rub his head a bit, and then calmly walked over to the window and jumped out.

While it would be easier to attribute his visit to serendipity or coincidence, memories of occasionally bringing food out into the driveway and speaking to this particular cat in a non-threatening tone of voice is what we could more accurately attribute as the reason for the feline trust extended to me this evening. Once again, Newton's Third law of physics paid off nicely, because there was no small

Nothing ever happens by accident, and the wise man and woman know that there are few coincidences in life. Where there is a cause, you will find an effect, and when you examine an effect, more often than not you'll identify the cause.

Don't be bashful about making things happen. Work backwards, live forwards, by determining what would most satisfy you, and then identifying the last step before achievement… then the step before that… and the one before that. From quality time with loved ones, developing artistic or vocational skills, there's no human effort immune from satisfaction when we pursue it intentionally and deliberately, with a plan for doing so. Before you fully realize it, you'll be experiencing more and larger doses of that wonderful feeling we call satisfaction.

Work backwards; live forwards. It's worked for all our great philosophers, inventors, and medical researchers. In fact, it's already worked for you. Today, you're urged to use it more, and with planning aforethought rather than waiting for it to come to you. Watch what happens.

As a master does, or a millionaire; champion or billionaire

From a fun wedding or a better job, directing a movie or increasing your income just 50% within 100 days: no matter WHAT it is you want, knowing exactly WHY you want it, describing in detail exactly what you want, you are accomplishing at least 20 percent of the job. Now you only have 80 steps left - which we further reduce using high-powered shortcuts - your PowerGems.

What possible sense is there in fighting the simple application of mathematics?
If thirty-five and forty world-class masters or billionaires aren't enough to make each of us just shut up and listen, what about hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of world-class masters and millionaires, champions and billionaires, one at a time? Hearing the same methods over and over again has got to get through even the thickest mind; it's surely hoped that you're less intransigent than the average blockhead. The only possible way we know is based almost exclusively on what you do in the next 25 - 100 hours of your life. It will show so clearly whether or not you're willing to learn from the mouths of those who are already doing it at record-breaking levels.

You can actually change your life in the next 5 minutes!!! Put up or shut up. Describe, out loud & in writing, precisely what you most want in life. Begin creating a plan by writing out who can help you, & what 5 smaller steps you'd have to take in order to do or obtain it. You'll actually get energized just by writing down precisely why you want it. Not a generalized answer: a specific answer.

It's really true: you can change your life so dramatically, so far beyond anything you have believed about yourself up until now, and you can alter and sweeten your path in the next 5 minutes, not by talking about what you know... rather, by USING what you know. Talk less; do more: it's the only way we'll ever know who you are.

It's positively amazing how much, and how little, we really understand For example, most people who hear the three words "Write why not," even when they know that there's a "w" in front of the first word, "Write why not?" those 3 words sound perhaps unintelligible.

You understand the words, not necessarily their meaning. Most people who hear the three words "Write why not," even when told that there's a "w" in front of the first word, "Write" will tell you that this sounds unintelligible. As with all wisdom, reviewing a gem repeatedly yields ever-increasing results.

One thing is certain. Use of these 3 words in the next few minutes can and will radically alter the remainder of your life. Significant, long lasting changes possible within a day or two, at most, a full week or two and beyond. Write why not

Such a wonderful shortcut, partly because it produces over and over again at accelerated speeds, literally without limit. the long-term, Use of these three words comprise not merely a bit of wisdom; much more importantly, one of the most useful techniques you will ever encounter in your life for obtaining more health or money or sex or understanding or whatever else you might want this week, this month, this year.

Write why not

It all begins with stating, out loud, in the next ten seconds what it is you'd most like.
No other talking, no thinking of anything else. Go ahead, say it out loud right now.

Excellent. You're now one fifth of the way to achieving it. No joke, no exaggeration.

Then, we need to list the reasons why we don't have it now... the specific obstacles.

Pareto's Principle reminds us that 80% of all results come from 20% of the efforts. Identifying specifically what is desired is apparently too difficult for the limited minds of most of us. It's the single toughest step, even tougher than taking step one, which accounts for another full 5% of the total task, which is identifying the obstacles to clear.

You need not believe what you're reading. If you're not living your life's happiest possible potential, your opinion is clearly way off base. This means you need to grasp a better, more comprehensive understanding of why you have two ears and only one mouth; two eyes and only one mouth.

If you're not getting it from the horse's mouth, it's reasonable to figure you're getting it from the wrong end of the horse. Proof? Take a look, and be honest, since no one knows but you and I, hm? Perhaps you have more sex than your neighbor does, but he or she (who knows these days?) may have better musical skills, or more money, or more exciting dawns. If you have it all, then why are you reading this unless it's to find faster, more powerful methods for getting where you want? Faster, that is, than you're getting there now, correct? If there's even one dream left in you that you haven't achieved, you'd be smart to simply duplicate the words and actions of those who have already repeatedly done what you want to do or have.

There is no faster route available, or currently conceivable, than duplicating the trails already blazed, true or not?

These people are by far the best possessors of shortcuts. Whether it took them ten, fifteen, even twenty years to find out what worked and didn't work for them, you get to avoid the majority of a trial and error process… because you can make use of their trial and error process. Do you understand how intensely powerful this is as a shortcut?

The basic act of identifying obstacles represents one of the three great powers of all human beings. The moment you commit the obstacles to paper, THEY SHRINK!!!

Please, please; don't tell us you know how true and how powerful this is: make use of it immediately!! Not only do they shrink, they are instantly matched by ideas that start popping up on how to resolve each one, one at a time.

How funny, when people think they understand something, not realizing there is inevitably a second, and even a third more profitable meaning to every intelligent statement that a human being can utter. It applies to all wisdom.

As for "write why not;" it's simple, and powerful, and here's how it works.

If there is anything on this planet it would please you to have or do in the next few days, weeks, or months, one thing that would really please you that you're not now experiencing, just hush up and write why not; why you don't have it now or why you think you can't have it.


You're invited to tap into this hugely effective technique. Write why not. What are the obstacles? Why isn't it happening in your life? Why not? Why don't you have it?

Whatever the answer is, put it on paper. Write why not

If there's something in life that you want but don't have, there are one or more identifiable things that are preventing you from actually smelling it, having it seeing it, tasting it, playing it, painting it, feeling it, hearing it, whatever. Write down the one or more identifiable things that are preventing you from having it. Stop yammering and do it now. Write why not

This makes it much easier to focus on solving them, or resolving them, one by one, until you achieve it. It's so simple that we fail to see the forest for the trees. Knowing it means little until you're doing it. When you write why not, you are writing a map. You've never in your life arrived at any intentional destination without a map in your head or hands, or somebody else's.

---

There's no such thing as an accident, and the sooner you understand that the better off you are. A car collision is no accident: it is the result of not looking, or going too fast, or responding too slowly, or a hundred other excuses. There is only one reason for failure in anything. It is called insufficient effort. Everything else is an excuse.

You don't get to the milk store without creating an intentional, mental map of using your legs to carry you to your car, getting into the car, turning on the engine, and the thousand actions involved in getting there. Every one of these individual tasks is the result of uncountable millions and millions and millions of separate electrical instructions, all mapped out in our head.

We're so good at these little skills that we take them for granted.

That they are little skills doesn't change the fact that they're highly technical, complicated skills, accomplished ONLY through the use of millions and millions and millions and even hundreds of millions and more hundreds of millions of intensely sophisticated neurons and muscles and bones and fingers and feet and eyeballs and ears and toes and so much more.

Write why not

.When we see our obstacles in writing, and then go back to the mental image that was created the moment you said out loud what you want, you are stimulated to make action today, and then take action today that will bring you one and two and three steps closer than where you're at right now in relation to what it is you want.

Let me repeat: when we see our obstacles written down, and then connect them to the mental picture of having it already, it constitutes an actual stimulus to resolving those obstacles, so that you can get the feeling you get in that mental video. It's so simple to begin here, and get faster fruit. Stop talking. Please, don't tell us what you can do. Show us what you can do. Better yet, show the most important face you'll ever see in any mirror.

Write why not

Who knows? Maybe it'll even take you to creating a written list of people and agencies that can help you to make it happen. Either way, we'll know today, won't we? We already know that every significant or difficult journey requires a written plan, called 'a map.'

We already understand that no decent home can be built without a written plan, called 'a blueprint,' correct?

Zig Ziglar used to point out that every great wedding must first be plotted and planned on paper, from lists of food, drink, flowers, etc... to the invitations and RSVP's. He suggested, "Maybe that's why weddings tend to be so successful, and marriages tend to be so unsuccessful: one is planned, in writing; the other is not.

Ultimately, we have to know where we're going if we want and intend to get there. Would any of us argue this point in a debate?

In truth, it's vital to the journey, and ultimate destination of, every human life... ... to plan it out properly, and in writing.

You see, my friend, when we don't know precisely where we're going, we'll most probably end up somewhere else, won't we? So please, for your sake, go ahead... write why not.
