From the Mailbag:

Hi Richard,

For what it’s worth, what motivates other people mostly I don’t give a poop about.

Shoot over to my http://www.exhostage.com site, maybe that will make sense.

So… what to do with your problem.

Simple.

We as humans have three levels of existence.

The first is we make up Excuses…. and believe they are real.

The problem, excuses don’t pay the bills.

So sooner or later we evolve, grow, get the freak out of that stage.

We get tired of being pathetic and poor.

Then we become Goal Driven - Stage 2.

We learn how to live live and move towards something that rocks us everyday. That could be a hummer, it could be a million bucks. It really is about feeling good… but we’ll get to that in a moment.

So being Goal Driven, step 2 is kool…. however…. at some point you realize that just getting to your goals is not making you happy.

So at either of these stages, drug addiction or becoming an arse is very possible.

In The First Stage, Excuse Driven, you see yourself as relatively powerless, so drugs are a great “out”. At the Goal Driven stage, you discover you still aren’t happy because…. you have stuff but something is still missing. So drugs, booze and parties become a great idea. Look at the celebrity problem with addiction.

Want what’s missing? Stage 3: SERVICE. Becoming a VISIONARY!

If you take the next step, which is “HOW DOES MY LIFE IMPACT THE WORLD?” and…

“HOW CAN I CHANGE THE WORLD with my daily life, my decisions, my way of thinking, my way of living…. “

Now juice shows up.

Personally….

I’m stomping out 1 Million excuses in 2008. Get me on your local TALK RADIO!

Get me on Oprah, Imus, Larry King!

Let’s bring the power home!

Why? Because excuses put the power outside of YOU.

This leads to Drug Addiction, and people believing that addiction is a disease….

This leads to broken marriages where the happiness is OUTSIDE of the marriage…

This leads to so much bullshit thinking and…. POVERTY… because the next administration will turn the economy around…

Anyhoo….

Bring the power home!

1. Choose to live a life that is excuse free. (Do the Program! It’s simple, and all you need to do is get a carabiner!)
2. Learn how to become goal driven so you can accomplish and get! Become accomplished! Whoo yah!
3. Learn the power of vision so you can accomplish and GIVE. This is the level of REAL SATISFACTION!

PS: I didn’t know this would be a driving force in my life until I started noticing how excuse driven and drug tolerant how many people are. I love people, and want them to live, and love completely, and have a life with passion and purpose. When I see old friends and family members just “getting by” and tolerating their excuses….. Living a “let me tell you what happened” kind of life….

Hey mate,

Success ain’t rocket science. So let’s keep it simple while shooting for the stars today.

Ready for some shocking truth? Here goes!

“Your brain will do what it habitually does.”

So, if you want to become more successful, you have to change what your brain habitually does.

“If you habitually engage in excuse filled thinking, you will be thinking of reasons why it can’t be done… That kind of thinking does not pay the bills, it does not buy you a new car, it does not give you what you want - RESULTS.”

What if all you had to do first was put a stop in the excuse cycle? (You know, everytime you make an excuse, move that carabiner, and giggle.)

Then you would have the time, the focus, and the energy to start discovering new exciting things to do, and ways to do them.

This is huge. It’s so simple though, will you take action on it? Today?
(Order some caribiners, start using one and sharing the rest?)

The Three Magic Steps!

1. Remember, Excuses are Hypnotic. An excuse seems totally real when you are under it’s spell. And it’s easy to see how silly and unreal OTHER peoples excuses are, while we are totally hypnotized by our own. This is the mission of The Excuse Free World Program. Disrupt the excuse cycle, then you will have the time, energy, and focus to become goal oriented.

2. Learn how to Get results. To get results you have to become goal oriented. Do you realize that they didn’t EVER teach you a simple goal getting program in school? All those useless tidbits of trivia, but not one semester on simple, practical, goal getting. You have to learn very specific ways of using questions to get your brain to generate ACTIVITY in your life. (You don’t need answers, you don’t need to be like the masses and know the right thing to do, you need ACTIVITY. You need to be able to use questions that generate activity in your life.

(Subscribe to our newsletter above, and you’ll get weekly Insider Tips on how to get Excuse Free, Goal Oriented, and Vision Driven)

Once you are getting results, standing out from the crowd, then you can take the most important step.

3. Be a Visionary, Become a Giver. How you live your life is your most powerful legacy. How you live your life will inspire others. Think about it. If you choose to be a winner, your kids, your neighbors kids will have someone to look up to. And to want to be like.

So…. now it’s up to you!

Register for the weekly tips! Order some carabiners for you and your friends.

Take action today!

Welcome to 2008. If you are like the average person you will officially give up on your new years resolutions within 23 days. That’s before the end of the month folks. Think about it. That’s depressing, that’s scary, that’s average.

The reason why most people give up on their resolutions is the same reason why most people never really experience lasting happiness, inner peace or financial prosperity. The reason why is average people focus too much on excuses. They focus on what we call, digging up roots.

Most people don’t realize how much the focus of digging up ROOTS - making excuses - is costing them. Let’s bring it to the real world. When you go to rent a bigger apartment or buy a new car, they don’t tell you the price in excuses. Wouldn’t this be weird, “Jim, your rent is 500 excuses a month, and your BMW Z4 payment is 427 excuses a month with 1500 excuses down.”

“The reason why is in the real world, EXCUSES don’t matter.”

Making excuses - Digging for roots is hard dirty work. On the other hand, being goal and vision driven, what we call Reaching for Fruits, is actually easier, and cleaner, and you get to eat something yummy.

“Before you can reach for the fruits, you have to STOP DIGGING roots. As long as you are digging, focused down you can’t see the fruit, much less reach for it.”

The Excuse Free Life Challenge will help you to do that, and you can start today.
