			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you know why some people seem to get all the prospects, traffic from ads, etc, while others get nothing with the same marketing materials?</p>
<p>Most people think it is because the ads are better, or they were lucky to place them on a full moon! It seems some people just have all the luck.</p>
<p>What if I were to tell you that the real difference has nothing to do with external factors and everything to do with you.</p>
<p>A few years ago a couple of buddhist Monks were coming to Australia. A small one line classified was placed in the paper and thousands turned up to see them! From personal experience, years ago I heard some teachers I liked were coming to Melbourne, so I decided to see if they would like to do a gig in Sydney. I phoned them for a chat and was told they would be at the venue at a certain time, what equipment they required, and that they trusted me to organise everything. We had 3 weeks and no one had even heard of this group here.</p>
<p>They turned up at the appointed time and 108 people were there paying $35 each. Not bad for 1989!</p>
<p>The point is some people can place huge ads with killer copy and get no response, while others can put forward a simple message and get flooded with enquiries.</p>
<p><strong>So what is the secret ingredient?<br />
</strong></p>
<p>It is your intention and willingness to back that up with action.</p>
<p>Intention is a matter of belief and focus. The first is belief in yourself and your ability to draw in the people you need to achieve your dreams.</p>
<p>Hint: If you don&#8217;t believe a high flyer will join your organisation they won&#8217;t, and even if they do, they will do nothing!</p>
<p>Second is belief in what you are doing.</p>
<p>Third is a belief you can assist others to do what you do or even more!</p>
<p><strong>How To Spot Low Belief Levels.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>When you sit by the phone waiting for the calls to come in, it indicates your belief level is low!</p>
<p>When you try to convince everyone you meet how good your business or product is, your beliefs are low.</p>
<p>When you give someone a truckload of information so they will have every possible thing to convince them about your product or business&#8230;Yes, it means your belief is low!</p>
<p><strong>What Top Performers Know (I am one, so I am qualified!)<br />
</strong></p>
<p>In every haystack there is a needle. In every bucket of oysters there is a pearl.</p>
<p>So prospecting is a sorting game. First you know that the universe works in your favour. You also feel and experience where you wish to be in the here and now.</p>
<p>Then you put out energy in the form of CDs, contacts, emails, letters, advertising, etc without a thought of what they might produce.</p>
<p>If you have absolutely no expectation of what results will come from your efforts, a funny thing happens!</p>
<p>People start contacting you from strange places and want to join you. You no longer have to spend hours convincing people, they come to you.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be clear. The extent to which you worry about the future, feel you have to do tremendous effort to get results, Or get depressed when people don&#8217;t answer your ads, tells you where you are lacking belief.</p>
<p><strong>Now for the good news!<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Beliefs can be changed. This is a gradual process normally taking time. So you get to $100 a month. The next month it may seem a struggle as your mind says, &#8220;that was a fluke, it won&#8217;t happen again&#8221;. At this point increase the energy you put out, and concentrate on letting go of expectation even more.</p>
<p>Eventually $100 a month becomes normal and happens without thinking. You move up to $500 a month and the same thoughts start running through your head. As you release these and start feeling comfortable with the new level, $500 becomes normal. This is what I did.</p>
<p>Approaching $16,000 a month in commission, I am still involved in this process. I set a goal for $20,000 in a month at the start of 2009. The best month I had until then was $11,500. Would you believe 2 months later I will earn $16,545, more than half way to my goal for the year!</p>
<p>Do you think my belief just got a whole lot stronger that I will make it! You bet.</p>
<p>I am still doing the same things I did 7 years ago. The difference is that now my beliefs have changed and I have opened up capacity for greater abundance. I have no idea where my next diamond or pearl will come from. I just know that something will happen to get me where I decided to be. It is not that much fo a stretch now.</p>
<p><strong>This is my suggestion.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>First set some long term goals. Where do you want to be in 1,2 or 5 years.</p>
<p>Then decide the next step, something that is a stretch, but you know it is possible.</p>
<p>Work out an action plan to put energy out there.</p>
<p>Carry out your action plan until you reach your goal. (You may have to adjust and learn along the way).</p>
<p>Once you reach this goal, set another larger target.</p>
<p>Keep learning and adjusting your beliefs as you go, and watch your life take off.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion<br />
</strong></p>
<p>This stuff is really exciting once you harness it. Anyone can do it, so if you hesitate.. yes, that is a belief in the way of your success!</p>
<p>Of course if you are part of my team, I can help you with more specific information.</p>
