Quote for the day... "For every reason a person comes up with to explain "why" a business failed, we can find a parallel story of a successful business owner who experienced very similar challenges, but overcame them to win." - David Neagle

How will your life change IF in the second half of 2009 your business profits more than you did the entire year in 2008???
Stop – don't let your mind go to the "why I can't" thoughts ... they will never serve you, and those are nothing more than false fears and false beliefs that are totally unrepresentative of who you really are.
Think: How will your life change?
It does not matter if your business is a startup, or if you've been in business for years ... that has no bearing on what it is possible for you to receive if you finally make the decision to step into your greatness.
No bearing whatsoever.
But what DOES have bearing is this:
- Your understanding of our current economic climate, as it pertains specifically to entrepreneurs;
- Your understanding of the radically different buying psychology of your market;
- Your understanding and correct application of the fundamental Universal Laws (on which all of my teaching and coaching is based). Right now, this single point alone will absolutely make the difference between the massive success of your business and/or its complete financial ruin.
Because, as my friend Bill Harris of www.Centerpointe.com recently wrote: "... the recent economic meltdown isn't just another recession. It's the beginning of a new era, and requires an entirely new way of doing business."
Bill and I are in absolute agreement that we've entered into a new season of business ... a new season that REQUIRES a new approach and a new level of entrepreneurial commitment.
Because our risks (both perceived and real) are greater than ever before, period.
It's not that you can't recover from erroneous business decisions ... it's that within this economic climate if you don't understand the bullets I mentioned above, your recovery will be excruciatingly slow, and the damage done due to these mistakes devastatingly deep.
That's why I'm dedicating 10 consecutive Wednesdays this summer to teach my students this new approach.
2009 is turning out to be my best year yet, and I know very well how to guide you to make it yours.
It all begins with a 90-minute, content-rich coaching call, that will cost you absolutely nothing. It's my gift to you, and it's happening Wednesday July 8th at 5pm PST / 8pm EST. (In a hurry? Click HERE now to register!)
Are YOU playing not to lose?
My article for you this week was inspired by a very interesting conversation I had last Friday with the author of the E-Myth, Michael Gerber. Tell me, will you make the decision to "become" and to "do" absolutely whatever it takes to accomplish your objective?
Just Believe,
David
P.S. Because of phone-line limitations, there is a limit to the number of people who can be on this call, so sign up right now, before it fills up.
P.P.S. There are only a few spots remaining for my 3-day Intensive June 25th, 26th and 27th. This laser-coaching event is limited to 30 students so that I can personally work with each one of you. AND all 30 students will be invited to attend my October 2009 ERS as my guests! Sign up here
P.P.P.S. Did you know I'm @davidneagle on Twitter? Come join the conversation!
Are you playing to win OR are you playing not to lose?
Yes, I'm speaking to you. Are YOU playing to win?
OR
Are you playing not to lose?
I met with Michael Gerber (the author of the E-Myth) last week. We were discussing different business possibilities when he said to me:
"David, in North America alone 500,000 businesses are started every month and 85% of them are out of business before the end of their first year."
This statistic makes my heart sink. In my experience, most people open businesses because they really do desire a different result in their lives and they understand they will not ever have the freedom they desire without owning their own business. The death of a business is the death of a heartfelt dream.
So why are so many businesses failing?
These ex-business owners would, I'm sure, refer to an endless combination of "reasons" and "impossible circumstances", but here's what I know to be true:
For every reason a person comes up with to explain "why" a business failed, we can find a parallel story of a successful business owner who experienced very similar challenges, but overcame them to win.
Businesses fail because their owners quit. Period. I will never accept any other explanation.
As entrepreneurs, we are either playing to win, or we are playing not to lose ...
If you're playing not to lose (whether it be in your business, your marriage, or any other undertaking), what you are actually telling yourself is that you're NOT willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. You are holding onto a psychological "way out". You are forever leaving yourself a backdoor to escape.
No significant achievement can support an escape route, and the reason is this:
The mind works in such a way that it will always take the path of least resistance. Whenever we have a problem, we must recognize that the solution exists simultaneously. However, in order to recognize and execute the solution, we are required to grow. The solving of any problem can't come out of the same thinking that created it. Something new must be born in order to manifest the new thought. Change is not a comfortable thing to do, so when it becomes too uncomfortable we begin to look for the escape route ... we accept that the unfortunate "circumstance" is too great, and we allow ourselves to fail.
You see, if we entertain any possibility of failure ~ if we leave the escape door open ~ we will not attract the thoughts required to solve the problem.
Conversely, playing to win simply means making the decision to "become" and to "do" absolutely whatever it takes to accomplish your objective. You will accept no other outcome but success.
This decision will cause you to grow in amazing ways and become all you need to be to live your dream.
This summer you can witness "Playing to Win" in Action!
