To accomplish great things, you have to set specific objectives. Then you must take the appropriate actions to reach your goal.

Just as important is how you think about your goal. Do you “hope” you can achieve it? Does it seem like something you’ll try to do… and see what happens?

Or do you think of it as if it has already been accomplished?

To achieve the extraordinary, you need to feel that kind of certainty about it.

Use this strategy with your team. Start talking about what you want to have happen in the future as if it has already happened. You will see amazing results.

How the “Missing Link” can kick your online business into overdrive

Every inefficient system… whether it’s an overweight body, a sputtering car, or a losing football team… has a “missing link” that prevents it from operating at full capacity.

There’s a “missing link” that keeps it from bringing in big-time revenues.

But once you pinpoint this “missing link” and get it taken care of, you can make more money online than you ever dreamed possible.

And the best part is, it is so easy to do, you’ll kick yourself for not thinking of it.

Let me show you how…

In Erich Fromm’s 1956 classic, The Art of Loving, he provides unique insights into the subject of faith.

Fromm did not believe faith is in opposition to reason or rational thinking. On the contrary, he simply made a distinction between rational faith and irrational faith. He believed that irrational faith is based on submission to irrational authority. But rational faith is based on one’s own convictions.

You don’t see the world through your eyes, said Tom McCarthy in his Bootcamp presentation yesterday. You see it through your brain.

And that means, despite the possibilities you see in front of you, your brain can sap your confidence and “psych” you out of taking action.

If you want to become the boss one day, think like a customer and act like an owner.

How do you think like a customer?

Let’s start with the obvious. Your customers are interested in what’s good for them, not you. They don’t really care how hard you work or how much more complicated your business is from those of your competitors. They don’t care how much you spend on overhead or what regulations you suffer through. The only thing they care about is what you can do for them and how much it will cost them.
