Have you found yourself getting frustrated when things don’t go your way?

For example:
You thought you’d make money quicker.
You thought you’d be further along in your career.
You thought you’d be more established in your company.

Too often when things get difficult or challenging, too many people want to turn back and give up. What has happened to the “never say die” attitude?

Where’s our Rocky mentality? 

For some people it takes longer to create their dream. Some people have more baggage that they’ve carried with them for years. Some people are willing to let go of their baggage and some people never do.

Remember Rocky? Yes, I know Rocky Balboa is fictional. I get it.

But here’s the lessons learned from Rocky.

1. Willingness To Do What It Takes

Rocky hitting frozen beef in the meat cooler. Probably my least favorite scene in Rocky, but the one that shows his willingness to do what it takes for as long as it takes. I would guess that most people remember this scene also...along with running of those giant set up steps!

2. Surround Yourself With People That Believe In You

In Rocky’s case, his wife Adrienne. He yells her name after he wins or loses. She is his rock. Put people around you that are “for” you. Not “with” you, “with” you people leave when the going gets tough. “For” you people are going to tell you when they seeing you not being your best self. Andy Andrews says that a great friend expects the best out of you, not a “yes person.” Surround yourself with people that are in your corner!

3. Stay Humble

Remember what happened to Rocky when he became an ego maniac? Clubber Lang. Be confident and sure of yourself, just not obnoxious. Nobody likes that.

4. Have a Great Mentor

Apollo Creed, need I say more? Hang out with people that are going to bring out the best in you? How do you get to be great at your business, sport, parenting? Surround yourself with powerful mentors! I have mentors for business, for healthy living, for my parenting, for being the person I want to be.

5. Be Open To Change

Remember Rocky was a southpaw (a lefty.) Then he had to learn how to box with his right hand as the dominant hand. He had to take his natural ability and way of doing things and relearn everything all over again. Be open to learning. When you are open to new experiences, opportunities, people in your life, your life blossoms.

6. Keep The Eye of The Tiger

Keep your eye on the goal. Distractions will take you right out of the game. Write down your goals and keep them with you. I have my vision and goals posted in 5 different parts of our home and when I walk by I stop and read it. When I read my vision for my future that I'm in the process of creating, it's a powerful experience assisting me with keeping my eye of the tiger.

7. Have a Sense of Humor

Don't we all love Rocky's humor? That's one of the great surprises while watching the movies. You see this massive, tough boxer cracking little jokes and teasing others. Keep your sense of humor. Life is meant to be JOYFUL and fun! If you're not having fun at what you're doing, do something else. Life is too short to spend all your time in a business, job or relationship that you can't stand.

When you have a Rocky mentality, knowing that you're the champ and that nothing is going to stop you from creating your life the way you want it, that's when things really get exciting.

Don't you see?

You've then drawn your line in the sand. You will always expect greatness. What will you attract? More greatness. That's why it seems so easy for some people, that's why it seems as if they get all the breaks, creating money easily. They made their choice...greatness. Not wishing, hoping or thinking they'll do something about a different life down the road. They are moving with ACTION, just like Rocky.

How can you take your own Rocky stand for yourself?

Do you require a more support cast around you?

Are you a thinker more than a doer?

Do you get all knowing only to fall flat on your face?

Everyone can learn from Rocky's lessons, I know I have and continue to learn from one of my favorite movie characters of all time (well, let's not count Rocky IV or Rocky V.) I'll look forward to hearing your comments and what you've learned from ROCKY.

Take Action With The 11 Forgotten Laws

  "The big rewards come to those who travel the second, undemanded mile." Bruce Barton

I was thinking of this quote the other day when I had a business associate say to me, "You don't understand you've had it easy."

I thought, "You've got to be kidding me."

Easy? Was it easy when I lived in a 480 sq. ft. log cabin with no electricity, no running water and an outhouse out back? Was it easy when it snowed and I had to snowshoe a mile up the road to even get to the cabin. Was it easy cooking every meal on a wood burning stove? Did you even know you can make spagetti on a woodstove?

Was it easy? No.

Was it worth it?

Absolutely.

You see, my dream (along with my husband Bill) was to build a log home in the Colorado mountains. During that time, we found a business opportunity that allowed us to work from home, which meant that we had no internet access only a telephone to do our business. Not easy.

But, you see it didn't matter because we saw our vision for the future clearly. We knew that with each step we took we were moving forward to our goal. It's a great thing to be able to build your life based upon what you're willing to give. Success demands commitment. When you demonstrate commitment, it's telling the universe, "Hey, I'm serious about this."

Too many people say they want a better life, yet are willing to wait until that life they desire comes to them. You move first. It's kinda like chess or checkers, nothing happens until you make the first move.

So you say, "I have a goal...but I don't have (the money, the time, the support, the ability etc...) Stop! Look at what you can do. Can you make a extra call, or send an email? Can you enlist help of friends? Can you ask someone for assistance that you don't really want to ask? Demonstrate how serious you are about getting your goal. If you make this you're practice, then you'll reap rewards greater than you can even imagine.

It's the people that are out there practicing when noone's looking, when others are home and you're the one running at 6:00 a.m. It's going beyond the extra mile that creates results.

What do you think? How are you traveling the second, undemanded mile?

I'll look forward to hearing your results!

I'm reading the book The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. If you haven't read it, it's the story of a shepherd boy that wants more for his life. He sets out to find a treasure at the Pyramids in Egypt. While on his journey he meets different people that assist him in finding his "Personal Legend."

A story that stood out for me, was while in the desert the boy meets the alchemist. They travel by camels through the desert and come upon a hole in the ground. The alchemist gets down off his camel and reaches into the hole, sticking his arm way deep into the hole. He pulls out a cobra snake. He takes the snake and puts him on the ground and then draws a circle in the sand around the snake. The snake doesn't move out of the circle. The circle seems to contain the snake. Then the alchemist erases the circle in the sand and the snake slithers off into the desert.

How often do we do that?

We allow our boundaries, limitations and perceptions to keep us stuck. We say we desire a different life, yet given an opportunity we let it pass. Just like the snake, we don't even consider leaving our comfort zone. We don't want to leave all that we know for the unknown, whether that means starting school, a new business, having a baby, getting married, moving out of state etc... Whatever it is for you!

Don't you see?

All the boundaries and limitations are put their by....Us! We put these self restrictions on ourselves of what we think we're capable of.

To create the life that we say that we want, we must make different decisions...or else we'd already have that life.  

Different decisions=different results.

Look at the "story" you've told yourself about why you can't do something. Why you can't have a baby...too old, not enough money. Why you can't start a business...no funding, no support. Why you can't move out of state...don't know anyone, too far from family.  You can take any story that you've created for yourself and look at it objectively from a distance. You can see it much clearer from someone on the outside looking in.

What will it take?

1. Moving with Boldness

People may call you "crazy," but you'll know that you have a goal in mind. Author Andy Andrews tells this story about how others would tell him that he's not normal and with that he knew he was on the right track!

2. It's Okay to Feel Uncomfortable

You can only make changes with embracing that feeling of being uncomfortable. This is what you're looking for! If you're not feeling that feeling, you're not out of your comfort zone. Stretch yourself! It's going to take this to create your goal. I'll tell people, if reaching your goal was easy, you'd already have it in your life...it's going to take transforming how you think, what you say and how you act to create a big goal.

3. Today Not Tomorrow

So often when an opportunity arises, you must seize it. Do it today, not tomorrow. Our minds will often tell us, "Let's just wait until I get everything ready. I'm not ready yet." No! This is when you must step forward in the faith that you're headed in the right direction.

4. Focus on What You Want

It's easy to focus on all the things we don't want or like, in fact it's our own little negative party. Focus on what you want! The Law of Attraction says that whatever you give your energy and attention to, you'll attract more of the same.

5. Stare Down the Naysayers

Yes, the negative folks love to come out of the woodwork and tell us about how we can't create our dreams. One personal note here, I don't share my goals with people that aren't in my inner circle. I just don't. The reason? Because I learned a long time ago, that the naysayers love to fill you will fear, doubt and worry about achieving your goal. Stare the naysayer down, even if it's your closest family member and know that you can create your goal. Put yourself among people that are going to show you the exact way to create it, not people that are going to have you doubting your every move.
