“As A Man Thinks In His Heart, So Is He”. Finding Success Within!
“Imagine A World Filled With Opportunity, Possibility and Passion… And How You Can Create This World In Your Life “
I found the above headline on one of Stuarts sites and it has always stuck with me and I wanted to share it with you. It seems we can dream of opportunity, possibliities and passions but we never can see them in our own lives.
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”. What is your Heart thinking?
Well this is another long one…but you need to read because we are going someplace with all of these posts, and you
really can’t afford to disregard reading.
OK after yesterdays email I hit a sore spot with a few of my readers.
What I have to say to that is GOOD! It is about time…that means we are getting to the core of the problem and we now can begin to focus in on the solution. Isn’t that what we are supposed to be doing? We deliver a solution to the problem .
Here is a reply I received back from my email I sent out.

Jeff.
I have been buying products for some time now. I have been trying to get started online for 7 years now with no success whatsoever.
I am about done buying all of these hype products that do not deliver any value to me at all.
I have spent thousands of dollars on products that are nothing but crap.
Now you have the nerve to tell me that it is because I am doing nothing with what I buy and all I am doing is making
excuses instead of trying to apply what I bought.
Well I guess this IM stuff just wasn’t meant to be for me…at least I thank you for opening my eyes to see that I need to stop buying crap from you guys and move on.
You guys keep getting richer and richer while I guess the life I have now is just how it was meant to be for me.
You are correct though I am very frustrated right now.
Enjoy your riches…
Even though you kind of struck a nerve today I do want to leave you with this. I have always thought you seem to be one of the good guys.
Les

Well OK then…at least I am still considered one of the good guys. Maybe someday I can beat out Ken McArthur as the nicest guy on the Internet. He seems to be my competition in that challenge thanks to Joel Comm
I truly appreciate Les for believing in what I had to say. I’m asking Les and everyone else to continue to pursue your desires of freedom and riches. But please pursue them in the right way.
First of all Les took things a little differently than I actually intended the email to be taken…BUT what he said fell right in line with what I said.
What is holding Les back? Is it the products he is buying?
OR… is it because he is missing a plan? Or a concrete understanding of where he needs to go? Or a lack of the appropriate business building mindset?
Could it be… and excuse to prevent oneself from accepting responsibility?
After all… why is it that some people actually DO end up making money while others don’t? Do people buy Donald Trump’s or Robert Kiyosaki’s books, even though the books don’t make them billionaires?
The answer is obvious. You CAN’T make any money from anything you read. Reading is for knowledge. Results are from action. Knowledge propels action. But effective knowledge propels effective action. Maybe you didn’t hit the ball the first time you swung. You need to improve your swing, rather than complain that Baseball is a lousy game.
Did you even know what you were buying in the first place? What were the products supposed to DO for you? If you didn’t know, then why did you buy? If you did, what action did you take?
The #1 reason why people are able to achieve great things is because they accept responsibility for where they are, what they think, and what they feel. Do you think Trump, Branson, Gates, Jobs actually became super wealthy simply because something dropped on their lap? Well, Steve Jobs was fired from his OWN company, Apple. He created a chain of failures. But that was not to stop him from making things happen with Pixar.
Do you think it’s uncontrollable? Your feelings and emotions and your success? Well, that’s NOT what my friend and success coach says. If you think you’re out of control, it’s likely that you don’t even have a strategy to reach your success.
This is a perfect place to get going on the email for today.
What are the messages that you are playing in your mind from the earliest days of your life.
Our fundamental thoughts about ourselves and our personal abilities originate at such a young age that they become
a part of us.
By the time we become adults, these thinking patterns, either positive or negative have been with us for so long that
We begin to believe that “this is the way it is”. Sounds like this is exactly what is going on with Les in the email above.
Now you might or might not be a big fan or believer in the Bible but it says…
“As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”.
What is your Heart thinking?
I want you to take a look at this video right now before going any further into this email. Really pay attention to the message. For some it will take you back in time for a few minutes like it did me.
Watch Video then come back and finish the email…I think the video really helps clear up what I want to say…
Success is an inside job my friend. That’s right success is going to come from within…and you are going to need the courage to really look within to see who you really are.
Think about what you are thinking about…
I want to challenge you to start thinking that you can change your life for the better, You can earn a higher level of
income, you can be successful and enjoy life like you see others around you doing.
Your actions begin with a thought, and if the thoughts you think are negative and filled with fear then I will have to tell you that it will be impossible to take positive action.
We act based on what we believe. If we believe that the result of our efforts will be poor, then chances are we will never act.
That in turn becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, and we remain stuck in a rut that we dug for ourselves.
I can tell you that my personal life changed dramatically after I realized that I did not have to continue to believe those negative messages from my childhood. I did not just have to be a dairy farmer like my family before me if I didn’t choose to be.
I don’t have to continue living just a middle income to poor financial life just because that is where I came from and what I was born into.
Today I am enjoying more success in my business and personal life than ever before, because I have had a complete overhaul, Mind, Body, and heart. I now believe and understand that I have the opportunity to be as successful as I want to be.
I know if I can do it, anyone who desires to change their life for the better can do it.
The person that really helped me discover the person I am within is Stuart Tan.
I stayed up with him all night at JVAlertLive and just listened to what he had to say.
Since then I have taken every possible moment to talk with Stuart and further discover the person I can be.
I really believe I am doing what I need to be doing and the IMPACT I am going to create in my life and the lives of those I can touch is going to be so huge.
I also beleive I am a person that deserves and CAN achieve the success that each of us has within us…
Once I found Stuart I knew he was someone I needed to bring into the lives of those on my list.
I look for those that can help me and my business grow and then I want to share with you
Stuart and I are doing a P.O.W.E.R. Webinar July 10th at 9:00 PM Eastern and we would love the chance to help you discover YOU!

PS: If you really want to learn how to be successful in life you’re going to have to face up to who you are today in order to become the person you want to be tomorrow. You must examine your thoughts,
your heart, your actions, your beliefs, your emotions, and even those that you surround yourself with.
I challenge you to take a good look at those you surround yourself with…ask yourself if they seem to be growing or do they seem to be dying?
Stuart Tan and I would love to offer you the opportunity to show you how you can get this mind, body and heart overhaul.
Join us on our P.O.W.E.R. webinar July 10th 9:00PM eastern

Hey Jeff,
You should add the link to the Rocky video in this blog post. Very powerful video.. Never had a chance to watch Rocky 6 yet, but seems to have some powerful principles.
I’m very excited for the online webinar. We have known each other for a while, but it was great meeting with you and Stuart Tan the first time at JV Alert.
Although I never had much of a chance to talk with Stuart, I was amazed by how much he has achieved and the knowlege when he was speaking.
Thanks for keeping us motivated!

Jeff–
You are truly tapping in to some of the real problems that most new marketers -or those who are considering it- face:
There is a lot of work that has to go on on the inside of a budding entrepreneur before he/she can even know where to start on the outside.
We need to give ourselves permission to fail..
And permission to succeed.
All the abundance thinking/secret/law of attraction stuff floating about now is addressing the same issues…
Thoughts become things.
There is so much power to that.
If you are thinking of how lousy your current situation is all the time, how could it possibly change for you?
If you are thinking of your life as filled with just what you need, moving you toward the abundance you deserve, somehow you actually pick up momentum from God/Providence/the Universe and “all manner of unforseen things begin to occur…”
This stuff works.
Add in a little discipline and organization and hard work and your life will be all that you dream of.
Turn dreams into reality… isn’t that what we all want?
Thanks for the great post!
