"The worst people to serve are the poor people. Give them free, they think it's a trap.\nTell them it's a small investment, they'll say can't earn much.\nTell them to come in big, they'll say no money.\nTell them try new things, they'll say no experience.\nTell them it's traditional business, they'll say hard to do.\nTell them it's a new business model, they'll say it's MLM.\nTell them to run a shop, they'll say no freedom.\nTell them run new business, they'll say no expertise.\nJust ask them, what can they do? They won\u2019t be able to answer you.\nPoor people fail because of one common behavior: Their Whole Life is About Waiting." -- Jack Ma\n\n"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change.\nThe leader adjusts the sails." -- John Maxwell\n\n\n\n \tThought #1: Wealth is a choice: make up your mind. If money was distributed equally, it would be back in the "old" hands within 90 days\n \tThought #2: Stop fooling yourself about what you're after. Peace of mind, being able to do good in the world, is easier with money\n \tThought #3: Realize that you're the one holding yourself back, but don't be "happily miserable" about it\n\nFactor #1: Relationships\n\n \tMastermind: associate with successful people (who challenge you) and not miserable people\n \tGossip, jealousy, nastiness. It's easy to be a critic. Why not do something if it's so easy?\n \tDo a nice thing because it makes you feel good, before you need help, not just to use people\n \tBe 100% there: don't try to "balance" business, family, day job, and fun\n\nFactor #2: Abundance Mindset (skeptical vs. trusting)\n\n \tAvoid the transactional trap where you either do something and expect a favor, or you play chicken to see who can do the least "work"\n \t"Don't buy any courses... why would they give away their secret sauce?"\n \tZero sum: I'll have to steal money or sucker someone into working for me to make money\n\nFactor #3: Take Control of Your Own Destiny (enjoy problems instead of placing the blame or making excuses)\n\n \tSelf-sabotage: one foot on the brake, the wrong kind of control, leads to "misery loves company" and trying to "save" others\n \tBe coachable: Make some mistakes, or go into coaching with "what I've already built and here's where I'm stuck" as opposed to "I don't know where to start." Instead of a long-winded sob story, get to the point and tell me the one area where you need help.\n \tLimiting beliefs, confirmation bias, self fulfilling prophecy, shooting yourself in the foot vs. The Four Minute Mile & The Mastermind\n \tFind a way to enjoy building websites and making money\n \tMinimum viable product and proof of concept: complete something so that you can contribute value\n \tLet go of what doesn't matter\n\nFactor #4: Time Management\n\n \tAppointment Based Business: I have enough questions answered that I can now act (the calendar is immovable)\n \tAnchoring: you become what you focus on, and your daily "time system" is only effective if you take it seriously\n \tTrain your brain. For example, set a timer for 10 minutes, start writing, and don't stop writing. The instant the timer stops, leave the computer. Don't act like you're smarter than the system. Don't just shrug it off and say "I got it."\n \tJournaling, meditations, affirmations, daily actions & habits\n\nFactor #5: Learning, Curiosity & Simplicity (lottery vs. action)\n\n \tCrack the code: get to the goal in the least number of steps and make it repeatable\n \tSpecialized knowledge vs. "hard work"\n \tIntake of information to solve a real problem instead of watching reality TV\n \tRepetitions to improve your skill and repeat the positive result\n \tFailure is a learning experience and the chance to begin again or change course, but don't give up too soon or set yourself up for disappointment\n \tDon't ignore the simple or familiar stuff. Don't get caught up in buzzwords that make it more difficult. Avoid professor or student mode\n\nFactor #6: Money Management\n\n \tEmotional vs. logical\n \tGambling vs. saving\n \tLive below your means
