Blaming your competition?!?

April 2, 2011

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Judy Katz. You can find her on the web at www.wealthtransformations.com

Question:

How can I break out of the pattern of being the best kept secret when it comes to my business? I fall back with the thought that so many people do what I do. How am I different, etc

Answer:

I’m going to cut right to the chase with this one…

The truth is that there is no such thing as competition.

There is only one YOU. There may be 5,000 different people who teach what you teach, sell what you sell, or provide what you provide, but there is only one Judy Katz! You bring your gift to the world through you, and there isn’t another you and so there cannot be competition!

AND

You’re using this excuse to stay hidden and small.

So the real question to answer would be; what are you afraid of that’s keeping you the best kept secret when it comes to your business?

I know that Spirit wants more for you than you want for yourself. Your purpose on this planet is NOT to stay hidden.

So, my question to you is…how is it serving you to stay small? Now, before you react, take a moment and really think about it.

What would happen if you really stepped into your purpose and became the huge success you know you would be?

Would it mean that your relationship with your friends or family would change?

Would it mean that you’d need to let go of something that you weren’t so sure you could let go of?

Would it mean that others may judge you?

You’re staying small for a reason, and it’s been a choice of yours to do so. The key to getting out of your own way is to become aware of what you are resisting. What are you not willing to do that’s keeping you stuck?

You also have to understand that if you continue to stay small, you are doing a disservice to those people who are looking for your help. Remember, if you have the desire, the way to fulfill it is waiting for you.

It just starts with a decision to get very honest with yourself about why you are choosing to stay hidden and then begin to walk right through those fears.

Once you become aware of your fears, you must bring the truth to it and TAKE ACTION!

Each day when you wake up, write down the 6 most important things that to be done that day to bring you closer to the goal.

Practice this every day.

It will take discipline, but it’s the most important habit you can develop as it will have a DIRECT impact on the success of your business.

I stopped lying to myself …

November 20, 2010

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Helen Evans. You can find her on the web at www.stepintoyourlight.com.

Question:

So many people teach on how to make money doing what you love but it is my experience that a HUGE percentage of people out there have no idea what they love, they are directionless and constantly seeking a way forward. What is your advice to discover what you love, your true passion, the thing that inspires and excites you to be more than your current self, to be your true self?

Thanks!

Answer:

Thanks for submitting this question, Helen.

You know, I have met very few people who truly don’t know what their passion is or what they love. If you ask anyone what lights them up, what inspires them, or what they are passionate about, you’ll usually get an answer.

The problem begins when they attempt to think about how they could possibly do what they love and make money. Many people had dreams as a child. They fantasized about dancing, painting, writing, or even of being a fireman or a championship fisherman. But somewhere over the years, they got the message that what they were dreaming about wasn’t ok. That is was nothing more than wishful thinking.

So they left their dreams and focused on more “practical” things. They shut off their dreaming.

Then they wake up one day and wonder who they really are, if this is as good as it gets, and THEN they begin to tap back into the dreaming.

I’ve asked this question many times to my students, and some common responses are, “Well, I LOVE to garden. I feel at home there. But, well, that’s just a hobby…” or “I could sit for hours and paint, but that will never pay my bills.” I see their face light up, their energy change, and yet, even though Spirit has given them this wonderful gift, they go on day to day doing things that keep them unhappy and unfulfilled.

For others, they don’t even want to verbalize what they are passionate about because it would mean opening themselves up to ridicule.

Everyone has secret thoughts… thoughts that they share with no one. For anyone who is struggling to find their passion, I suggest that you get very quiet and just listen.
Ask yourself what you’re passionate about.

Ask yourself what you would do if money didn’t matter.

Don’t censor what comes in to your head. You may even want to write a few things down, and I encourage you to do that. Tap back into your inner child and just let yourself dream…

Afterall, manifestation is nothing more than becoming aware of what already exists, and if you are thinking it, that means the way is also present.

Step One: Decide How Much Money You Want

October 28, 2010

Seems simple enough doesn’t it?

Step One: Decide how much money you want.

So, why haven’t you done it yet?

Why haven’t you made the decision, with 100% clarity and certainty?

What are you really resisting?

Because this is Step One, and you can’t go around it or avoid it.

Step One is so key that, next month, I’m going to spend two FULL days on this topic with my Mastermind of visionary entrepreneurs.

[Called “Fund Your Freedom”, it’s the 1st of 12 in-depth modules that make up my “Neagle Code MasterMind” … and it’s foundational work required for any person wanting to Master the Massive Cash Injection.]

Begin today with the exercise detailed in my article below.

And then let me know exactly where you are!

“Just Believe”,

P.S. To find out more about my “Neagle Code MasterMind”, please reach out to my lead coach, Steph Tuss, at 888-720-7117 Ext 7. Do not be afraid to call. There is no shame in asking for help, or in imagining & exploring what could be.

P.P.S. DON’T MISS THIS: I’m participating this week in a no-cost virtual program called “Event Money Machine”, teaching entrepreneurs how to put on their own Live Events to create incredible profits. Register as my guest here. There is no cost for you attend, yet this information has allowed me to impact many lives, as well as add millions to my bank account. If you desire to do the same, it wouldn’t make any sense to miss this program.

Master the Cash Injection: Step One

Last time, I started sharing with you a formula for bringing in any amount of money you choose.

I told you that before employing the formula, you must put some faith in the Law of Polarity; that is, you have to be willing to believe that what you want already exists around you.

Today, we’re moving on to step one of the equation.

Step One: Decide How Much Money You Want

Deciding how much money you want sounds simple, but there are several imperative aspects to that decision.

1. First, think about how much money would make a significant difference in your life right now.

2. That amount of money must be real to you. It has to be an amount that you can actually see yourself receiving. (I’ll say more about this later.)

3. Your figure must be exact, down to the penny. That way you can measure what you’re doing and the amount of money that’s coming in.

4. Know why you want that amount of money. Is it for a down payment? A medical bill? Your child’s tuition? If you choose an income goal, for instance, you want to make an additional $20,000 this year, know what you would do with the extra income.

Don’t Rewrite the Equation

Whenever I share this formula, right away some people start skipping the steps. They don’t want to do something because it’s uncomfortable, or they don’t find it inspiring.

If you leave out one of the principles, either in mindset or the practical things you have to do, the process won’t work.

So, follow the formula as I lay it out for you, step by step.

Start Where You Actually Are

I tell my MasterMind members that they have to know two things in order to succeed: they have to know where they are and where they’re going. The most important thing is to know where you are.>

If you can only see yourself receiving $1,000, so be it. That’s where you are. As you’ll find in the following story, the figure you start with is only the beginning.

When my mentor, Bob Proctor, met his wife Linda two decades ago, she was making about $29,000 a year.

She asked him, “Do you really believe that I can increase my income?”

He replied, “What’s the most you’ve ever made?”

When she said it was $29,000, he asked, “Can you see yourself making $100,000?”

She thought for a moment, and then said, honestly, “I really can’t see myself making $100,000.”

Bob backed the number down to $50,000, something she said she could believe in, and that figure became her goal.

Had they started with $100,000, the result I’m about to share with you would never have come to be because Linda couldn’t believe that it was possible for her to receive that much money.

If you choose a figure that’s too high for you to believe in, you send a message of disbelief out into the universe.

That disbelief then controls your perception to see all the things you don’t believe. For instance, you’ll see all the reasons why you can’t get the money. You’ll think the money is not really there, this process doesn’t work or, “Dave is full of baloney.”

When Bob started Linda at $50,000, she could actually see the money in her mind’s eye.

And that same year, she made $499,000.

Why did she make nearly 10 times her target?

Once she started to approach $50,000, her belief that she couldn’t make a lot of money completely shattered, as though it had never existed. Also, her success inspired her to continue expanding.

Believe in Your Number

Like Linda, be honest about where you are.

Believe in your number, love your number, however small it may seem.

Because if you start where you actually are, there is no limit to how far you can go.

Are you truly focused on what you want?

September 25, 2010

This week’s question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life“ comes from an individual who wishes to remain anonymous.

Question:

I often feel that there are so many things to do with my business and to promote my business that are important right now that I feel bombarded with ideas. How can I discern which thing to do and when to do it to avoid being behind the 8-ball with the opportunities? I always feel like if I’d done that a month or 2 ago, it would have worked better.

Answer:

Thanks for your question!

This is a very common problem experienced by entrepreneurs in any and all stages of their business. So I’m going to ask everyone reading this to play with some ideas and then let me know if you’ve gained a little clarity by the end. You’ll be surprised how quickly this works.

First, let’s be clear on what’s going on here.

You are manifesting distraction, and based on your website (yep, I went there), you’re not clear on your target market.

You are getting all kinds of ideas because you haven’t been clear about what you want and who you’d like to work with.

It’s better to focus on one thing and take action on that one thing rather than to focus on many and do nothing.

Ready to get moving?

First, you MUST figure out who you would most LOVE to work with. Is your ideal client a real estate agent, an entrepreneur new to her business, someone searching for a purpose, or someone needing help building a team? EXACTLY who would you most LOVE to work with? Yes, I know, you don’t want to exclude anyone, but you must pick ONE for now. Create a profile for that person. I give step by step instructions in one of my previous blogs if you really want to get clear: http://www.davidneagle.com/blog/?p=313

Next, decide what your most pressing need is RIGHT NOW. If your biggest need is cash flow, create a plan around the fastest way to satisfy that need, and focus on your ideal client. So, if your biggest need is cash flow, don’t waste your time on website design. Websites don’t produce cash flow, sales conversations do. Immediately focus your efforts on tapping in to the resources around you.

And finally, don’t second guess your past decisions. You did the best that you could when you made those decisions. Remember, everything you do gets you closer to where you want to go.

If you want to speed that progression up, you must have a clear target market, message and goal.

When you send off confusing messages and you get confusion in return.

Do you feel powerless?!?

April 26, 2010

I’m writing this to you on Saturday, when I have just 90 minutes between my youngest daughter’s softball game, and the arrival of my middle daughter’s “sleepover posse”.

But I’ve got something on my mind that can’t wait …

There was a common theme running through my private, one-on-one coaching calls this past week that was more prevalent & intense & “about-to-be-extremely-destructive” than I’ve experienced in quite some time.

And it popped up too many times this past week for these to be isolated cases …

So I want to address it immediately & head-on with all of my subscribers & students, because here’s what I’m hearing:

You’re feeling small.

You’re feeling insignificant and inconsequential.

You’re feeling like a … fraud.

You’re feeling like you’re never going to reach your goals and live your dreams, because you’re just not …

  • special enough,
  • compelling enough,
  • inspiring enough
  • beautiful enough

… for any more than a handful of people to pay attention, and listen to you, and care what you have to say.

Add to that, you don’t feel any serious, accomplished business owners will want to JV with you because …

  • your list is too small
  • your business is too new
  • you haven’t mastered online marketing
  • you don’t know enough of the “right” people
  • you’re not making enough money in your business
  • you don’t have a proven sales record

… and the list of negatives goes on!

Look everyone, I started from & with nothing! And if I can make millions & reach thousands with my message, so can you and I will help you!!

* * * * * * * *

So right now, I want you to follow my lead, and do this:

1) Reach behind your head, grab the back of your collar and pull yourself up straight and tall! You ARE divine & powerful & amazing, so start believing it and acting like it!

2) Now repeat after me: “I am ONE with the Universe, and nothing is beyond my reach or unavailable to me! And I am WILLING to fulfill the great purpose that Spirit intends directly and especially for me!”

3) Find a pen & paper, and write this down:

Date: Wednesday May 5, 2010

Time: 7pm Eastern / 4pm Pacific

Conference Line: 818-742-0029

Private Pin Number: 383688#

And in case the phone lines are jammed, save this webcast link:

http://attendthisevent.com/?eventID=12602046

and

4) Make a commitment to yourself (and to me) right now that at the above date and time, you WILL join me for at least 60 minutes (we may go longer) on my private conference line so I can work with you to get your head straight about just how brilliant and powerful and needed you are!

* * * * * * * *

Here’s what I want to teach you on this call:

  1. The 5 sources of POWER that already exist in your business, that you can activate and put to work for you immediately.
  2. The #1 best way you can immediately start showing up in your business (and in the world) as the brilliant, POWERHOUSE expert that you are … even if you don’t feel that way right now.
  3. What it means to truly adopt, once and for all, the mindset of a 7-figure+ business owner! (There’s a certain way all 7-figures earners had to think BEFORE they crossed the million-dollar-mark! But it’s a decision to think this way, and you’ve got to understand it to make it work for you!)
  4. The 2 absolutes you must understand immediately to CLOSE your sales conversations faster, and feel great doing so! (Look: you deserve the experience of accepting more money, more often, more easily!)
  5. What your marketing says about you … and how you can shift it to immediately come from a place of POWER, and never desperation!

Sound good?

You’ve got the number & the webcast link.

You’ve got the date and time.

There’s not a single hoop for you to jump through.

All you have to do now is SHOW UP LIVE for a boost of your spirits & your business acumen … and I’ll meet you there!

Ok! I’ve got to get back to my Saturday, but I really wanted to address this today … It breaks my heart that you’ll feeling so small, and I really want to give you some tools to uplift and inspire you … and remind you of how truly amazing you really are!

Wishing you an awesome day!

“Just Believe”,

P.S. Yes, you are more than welcome to share this invitation. I’m going to have this posted on my blog at www.davidneagle.com/blog before the end of the day on Monday too. (Actually, if you like, leave me a comment on my blog and let me know you’ll be there!)

P.P.S. I have no way of knowing how many people will show up for this call (because I’m not requiring that you register in advance) … so if the phone lines are jammed, please join me on the webcast at:  http://attendthisevent.com/?eventID=12602046
