The Only Thing You Need to Believe in Yourself

November 1, 2020 by Cess

Was Henry right?

One of the most popular quotes repeated by many of the greatest speakers, authors, and multi-millionaires for the past 100 years has been this quote by Henry Ford:

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – You’re right.”

Essentially, it all boils down to a choice.

Do you believe in yourself or not.

Here’s the challenge.

Most over-complicate this.

I’ll Show You Mine If You’ll Show Me Yours?

November 1, 2020 by Cess

No, I’m not telling you about my experience with Julie Evans from Kindergarten so don’t even ask! 🙂

But seriously…

Have you ever had someone say “I’ll take a look at your network marketing company if you’ll take a look at mine?”

It’s a question I got the other day from one of my customers asking if he should partake in this type of back-n-forth pitch process.

Here’s my take on it.

Don’t be a Kindergartener!

If someone wants you to join under them…

But is also open to switching companies…

How would you feel about them as your leader?

Does their flakiness inspire confidence?

I don’t think so.

3 Dangerous Words for your Success

November 1, 2020 by Cess

As I settled into my writing and reading chair this morning sipping my coffee, I decided to pick up a book I’ve read multiple times…

The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason.

As I read through, the following paragraph struck me…

“Just so it is with the sons of men. Give them a choice of gold and wisdom – what do they do? Ignore the wisdom and waste the gold. On the morrow they wail because they have no more gold.”

Reading further…

“Gold is reserved for those who know its laws and abide by them.”

My $1 Million Bet – The Key Strategy on How to Achieve This

October 28, 2020 by Cess

Confession time:

While I’ve been working out and eating pretty healthy… Since the pandemic hit in March, I haven’t been hitting it anywhere close to as hard as I have the past three or four years.

So I went in yesterday to get my body fat % tested.

I laid on the scanning machine (think something like a mini-MRI) and six minutes later it spit out a computer report with body fat vs lean muscle for every part of my body.

When the technician went through my report, I have to admit…

I was pissed.

I’m in the worst shape I’ve been in over three years.

I’m not overweight by any means… but I went from the ideal range for my age group and crossed over into a range with the name I despise…

How to Get to the Top of MLM Mountain

October 25, 2020 by Cess

A few years ago I decided to put together a boys trip. We ended up calling it the “Alpha Male Adventure Club” as every man in the group was a top performer in business.

(Here come the toxic masculinity replies)

Even though I wasn’t a hiker and had never climbed a mountain of any size before, El Mateo’s brilliant idea here was to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

If you’re gonna go, go big, right? 🙂

I reached out to my buddies and issued the challenge inviting them on the trip.

And in typical Alpha Male fashion, they accepted. There were 14 of us in total.

I could write a month-long series of emails with lessons gained from this trip. No other experience (training event, seminar, book, audio, etc) gave me more insights into success than this expedition.
