When you enter FEAR, You Will Interfere

November 16, 2015 Dewong Lucas Sr. Leave a comment

We start to interfere with our Purpose, Destiny and our Success…

When we enter into a mental state of FEAR we immediately switch for Success thinking to Survival thinking. I believe these two types of thinking are direct opposites of each other. For example: If I told you you were standing at the edge of an alligator pit. The pit is ten feet across, ten feet wide, ten feet deep and it’s filled with hungry alligators. All of a sudden… I PUSH you in.. What is the first thought that is going through you head as you’re falling toward the alligators? Not about me but the alligators? For the survival thinker it would be “HELP! I’m going to die!” “I don’t want to die!” or would it be just “AHHHH!”

For the success thinker it would be…. “Alligator shoes, alligator belts, alligator handbags….” Success thinking is always looking for opportunities. Survival is never good enough. You must go beyond just surviving. Survival thinking only looks to serve self, while successful thinking looks for opportunities to serve others.

What has your thinking been lately, surviving or success? The results you’ve been getting will be a direct reflection.

Best wishes towards your Success!

Entrepreneurial Secret #11

You Can’t Win Unless You Compete

Many would be business owners never make it or reach their full potential in business or life because the are too afraid of a little competition. Many try to sneak in under the radar hoping they can become successful without their competition knowing about it. This is just a fantasy that is waiting to turn into a nightmare.

When I refer to winning I don’t mean going into business with a scarcity mentality in which you believe that if your competition is doing well that means you won’t be able to. There is more than enough business for those who are truly willing to do what it takes to satisfy it’s customer’s and their business needs.

You can’t win unless you are willing to fail. To fall flat on your face, get up and try again. The average successful person has failed 17 times before they got it right. No one gets the Gold Medal in the Olympics by practicing the hardest. No one gets a 100% on the test just because the spent long hours studying. You have to compete you have to put what you know or can do to the test. If you put the work in and it doesn’t turn out the way you expected. Know you tried and have no regrets. In the words of Art Williams, the man who changed a trillion dollar industry..”All you can do is all you can do”

Thank you,

It’s Not the Steps you take…

The process you took, how long it took, or who you took is not as important as the impressions you left on the lives of those you impacted on the way. The media likes to glorify the superstars, the millionaire before age 13, the persons who was able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, the girl or guy who was first in this or that group. Those are, or would be great accomplishments. The problem is, like most things in life we forget about them or they becomes common place. No one is impressed that you can talk to your friends on a phone that you can carry around and it’s not connected to the wall. At one point in time that was impressive.

The only true thing in life that lasts is the impact we have on the lives of others. It could be one person or 1 million people. The few degrees of separation that exists between people can cause a person who has only directly impacted one person can now indirectly have a profound impact on the lives of millions. We see it in the current day lives of religious speaker Joyce Myers, television host Oprah Winfrey, and software billionaire Bill Gates and his non-profit foundation, just to name a few. The manner in which they now leave an impression on the lives of others is unmistakable and will last well beyond their life.

As entrepreneurs, we should be striving to leave a positive impact on the lives of our family, employees, and our customers. They will be our true measure of success or failure. Is your family or employees happy to see you come or see you go? Are your customers having more problems since they chose you or has their lives become easier? If we are not focusing on adding value to those we serve then we are by default taking value from them. Remember, Those who take more than they give, at some point will be required to give it all.
