the definition of insanity is

Updated on July 6, 2011

The Definition of Insanity is. . .

. . doing the same things, expecting a different outcome.

Now I know that definition has been flogged to death, BUT IT'S TRUE.

If you do the same tomorrow as you are doing today, you will have the same results as you have had up till now. But it really IS true. The same activity repeated produces the same results. You can bank on that. In fact, we ALL DO, (bank on it).

Just imagine if you went to work every day. Did the same (type of) work very day, but got paid different amounts EVERY day. Maybe some days not get paid at all! You'd kick up a fuss. I would. It would not be acceptable to make different amounts of money doing the same work.

So, this concept of repeating activity can work for you, OR against you.

If you changed the activity, it stands to reason, you change the outcome. By the way, that is both negatively as well as positively.

If one person knows how to make money by repeating certain activity, which can be copied, or emulated, then the one repeating the successful person will receive the same results also. I can show you how to repair a hole in a wall. If you follow my process (exactly), you will have a new wall (patch) that is just like mine.

I can teach you how to make a coffee table. With practice (repeated action), you too will have a coffee table. I'm sure you get the point!

So, what is holding you back from achieving true wealth yourself? Oh, I see. You tried this stuff before and it didn't work (for you)! Let me be blunt here. Just who do you think you are to be so special, that it works for so many, but it WON'T work for you? Do you suppose that it might have been the case, that it didn't work for you BECAUSE of you? (Sorry if that one hurt)!


The Truth does hurt Sometimes

I know. I had to face this myself! One of my teachers said to me, "the hardest thing you will ever have to overcome in this business, is yourself". How true that has been! I still have to face, and overcome challenges in my life. Some have called it, "confronting your demons". I don't know what to call it, but you ARE your your own greatest asset, OR, your own greatest HINDRANCE!

Face this fact up front, and you are half way there.

Do you really want to make passive/residual income? I mean REALLY!! I mean REALLY, REALLY!!! If not, you are just playing around, and your fate is already sealed. Sorry again, if that one hurt!

If you are still reading, then maybe, JUST MAYBE, there's still hope for you. I HOPE so! You are worth it! Why would you NOT be worth it?

This is what is often referred to as the DREAM. What is your DREAM? That's the mantra. The BIG WHY. It's the "WHY" you are doing it that drives you to reach your goal. It's what sustains you when it doesn't LOOK like you're going to make it. You press on. And on. AND ON.

I heard someone say once, "if you are prepared to go forever, it won't take too long at all!" I like that. That's the attitude I want. It's easy to forget these cliché's sometimes. It's a good idea to have someone that can be there to remind you when you forget.

Support is vital.

You. The CHAMPION
