The check I wrote out in your name almost 30 days ago now. And this is your last possibility to put your name in the blank: Pay $400 to the order of _________________. Now, you may have forgotten what this is about. And that's OK... I understand firsthand how busy we all can be.

Just so it's clear, I'm offering you a free gift valued at $400, and I really want you to cash in. Here's the thing: It's null and void after this week.

How is this strategy stealing opportunities from you in all areas? Or maybe you want to put your ducks in a row... Let me promise you, you'll never get this one to happen--and in the mean time, your ducks are losing you money and rewards--quack! Two weeks ago, I let you in on a little secret. Well, here's another one that you need to hear: Procrastination is a dream killer. Now I'm sure you've heard of Abraham Lincoln... If so, then you've probably heard his famous saying, "Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today." You see, Abraham Lincoln was a high achiever, and high achievers make decisions quickly. There are several reasons people give for procrastinating, but all the excuses usually boil down to one...you just don't want to do what you have to do. Some success coaches will tell you to simply take a deep breath and force yourself to do those things now rather than later. Well, that may work for some people, but not many. If it were that easy, nobody would procrastinate. And you know that's not the case, don't you? Here's another secret: I can help you discover why you don't want to do what you have to do, but... You have to take the first step and let me help you. Only then will you solve the real problem and use the proper tools and techniques to vanquish it from your life--now and forever.

Peak Your Profits: A beautiful mind-set translates into top business performance

Read James' latest interview with Jeff Blackman of the Marco Island Eagle. Peak Your Profits: A beautiful mind-set translates into top business performance By JEFF BLACKMAN, Special to the Eagle April 6, 2005 Mind over matter matters. Talent and expertise are crucial skills for success, but without self-belief and the right mind-set, the right results are seldom achieved. To learn more about the power of mind-set, I chatted with James Ray, a friend, fellow speaker and author. Ray has been studying top performers and what drives their achievement for more than 20 years. Here are excerpts from our conversation: - Jeff Blackman: What is mind-set? - James Ray: A group of attitudes, understandings, beliefs and resulting behaviors that create high achievement over the long haul. Whether you're talking about golf, sales or any pursuit, the same principle applies. The mind-set creates top performance, excellent production numbers and prosperity. - JB: How does one create positive beliefs? - JR: Beliefs are nothing more than habitual thought. Thoughts, and the words we use to express them, to ourselves and others, have corresponding images in our mind. These images have corresponding emotions. The emotions have corresponding actions. And actions have corresponding results. So the path to any result is thought-word-emotion-action-result. If you want to improve your results, you must interrupt the habit of thought and create a new one. You must "think" a new path. - JB: What's the key to this process? - JR: You have to see yourself as successful in the inner game to be successful in the outer game. When you give that "command" to the unconscious mind, when you imagine how you'll feel, look and sound when you're producing at the level you desire, the mind thinks it already has occurred and calls for an encore performance in the real world. Dr. Morris Massey wrote about how our mind sets us up for success and failure. It's as if we've "programmed" our inner selves to produce certain results in our outer world. Dr. Maxwell Maltz wrote about such mental mechanisms in Psycho-Cybernetics. He compared the subconscious mind (including those beliefs we've had since puberty) to a thermostat that equalizes the temperature to a set point whenever it gets too hot or cold. People who are mysteriously drawn to a particular income or production figure are suffering from Maltz's thermostat. Outside their conscious awareness, they believe they are, for example, $100,000-a-year performers, and if their production gets too "hot," the thermostat kicks in to cool things off. The cybernetic mechanism measures the deviation from the set goal and automatically turns on the cooler to make things more comfortable. - JB: Where else does this "thermostat" limit performance? - JR: It can show up in many ways. Is there anything you know you should do for your own success, but you don't, because on some level it takes you out of your comfort zone? Common underlying beliefs that regulate performance are: "I need more training and skills before I can succeed." "I'm not worthy of earning more than ... ." "I don't deserve to be a top performer." "I'm not good at ... ." "I'm not able to talk to (or get to) decision-makers at the top." "I need more experience before I can succeed." Once the underlying belief is uncovered, a new belief must be chosen. The new belief can be the opposite of or an "antidote" to the old one, such as "I have unlimited life knowledge and experience." The new belief then must be "installed." Specifically, the new belief must be supported by both evidence and habit. Start by answering the question "What will I have to see, hear and feel to cement this belief?" Then vividly visualize these results. You must see yourself already in possession of the outcome of the new belief. - JB: So responsibility and accountability start with the individual? - JR: Success grows out of a fundamental mind-set based on some ideas that may be "old hat" but require a "new head" to fit you. Whether you work for yourself or someone else, think of yourself as an entrepreneur, as the owner of your own success. Consider: As an entrepreneur, would you believe in your ability to achieve? Would you be passionate about what you and your product offer? Would you settle for mediocrity? Or strive for excellence? Who would be responsible for every result you produce? Would you be more interested in identifying problems or proposing solutions? Would it benefit you to be more rigid or more flexible? Would you value comfort or creativity? Would it best serve you to wait and see what happens, or to be proactive and growth-driven? Would you amble through the day mildly interested in the people and happenings around you, or would you exert enthusiasm in all you do? The answers may seem obvious, but they also may require you to think in new ways. Sustained success simply requires doing what may seem obvious, and doing it now.
