I / R Theory & Law of Attraction

Identifying the True Nature of Success

“People go to seminar after seminar thinking if they can just get that magic bullet they can be successful.”

“They are dead wrong – there are no magic bullets”

When I first read “You can’t learn how to ride a bicycle at a seminar” by Sandler I found the I / R Theory quite interesting.

Similarly the Law of Attraction summed up eloquently in the video below:

The nature of success is belief, positivity and in my opinion momentum.  It’s been too long that I’ve been searching for that particular event that will catapult my business to 20k /mo.

That was the wrong way of looking at it, but that’s the game that the guru’s, coaches, etc etc always played you into to reach their goals.

——————-

The difference for me now in 2019 is that I’m no longer looking for that magical course, easy win, or event that will launch me to 20K /mo.

My focus is on improving my “I” and internal belief through:

  • Daily Affirmations
  • Daily Goal Reviewing
  • Tactical Training – watching videos just like this
  • Setting up my body for success by.. eating right.  Sleeping well.  Devoting time for me.  Devoting time for family.

My second focus is taking action & execution:

  • Daily action reviews
  • Keeping track of KPIs
  • Planning my day, everyday

Those are the things that will get me there.

2018 A Year In Review

2018

There are 4 parts of life.

  • Income
  • Lifestyle
  • Health
  • Family

Looking back on 2018 I excelled in lifestyle and family, but failed in income and health.  I’ve got more time than ever due to my home office lifestyle to spend with my family.  I’ve got time for my hobbies again as well.

Income has dropped a little bit since I sold my personal training business.  My health also dropped because I’m much less active.

I’ve notice a recurring trend.  I’m following heavily in my business partner’s footsteps.  Buying into new training.  Going into different routes.  Basically it’s shiny shit syndrome all over again.

2019 – Changes

  • Productivity:  I need to get back to high levels of action.
  • Bootstrapping:  I’ve got the training I need.  I still know that I’m rather event driven.  The process is key.  I need to focus on developing that.
  • Hopeium.  That’s the worst drug.  I can’t base my actions on what if.
