CREATE Your Defining MOment

Most great successes and the the turning points in peoples' lives can be traced back to one event, one insight, one meeting or revelation that ripped time apart and put them on a new course. This pivotal point is often reached when someone exceeds their pain threshold - the perceived pain of change is suddenly considered less than the pain of not changing. This critical juncture in a person's life often sends them on a rocket-ship ride to success, because something changes permanently deep down in their psyche.

People who have passed through the pain of procrastination, the thin veil of compromise, the mist of mediocrity, and the paralysis of fear, come out like warriors. They are like diamonds created under intense pressure, oblivious to detours and obstacles, and intensely focused on their purpose and objective. Their success is a given. Failure is not even a possibility. They do not suffer fools gladly and they will not make excuses, tolerate distractions, or water down their expectations - for anybody.

Now this defining moment, this Date with Disgust, this dramatic change in purpose and direction, does not have to be a random event, or the result of years of momentum and buildup - it can be induced. Your date with destiny can be consciously activated - by choice - at a time you want. All it takes is exposure to the right information from the right person. It can be a book, a meeting, a seminar, or an insight. And the more you are exposed to the right kind of information, the faster you will see yourself hitting new plateaus of development, on a regular basis.

Ayn Rand asks, "Have you noticed that the imbecile always smiles? Man's first frown is the first touch of God on his forehead. The touch of thought… " As a child, I always noticed that obese people spent a lot of time laughing. Fat and jolly? I think not. Ayn Rand's teaching induced one of my most dramatic defining moments. Others have been Paul J. Meyer, Jay Abraham and Richard Dawkins. Churchill's memoirs also had a dramatic impact on my philosophy.

Tonight, our guest speaker on the DollarMakers Joint Venture Broker Club's Members only Conference Call was the famous trade and barter expert, the highly respected DollarMakers Club Member Mr. Bob Meyer. His talk was exceptional. I have no doubt that anyone who bought his product (which includes, amazingly, a year of access to Bob himself!) from www.barterbootcamp.com will experience a defining moment and the wealth that will ensue. The right person with the right information at the right time - an opportunity to release the giant within you and blast through to success beyond your wildest imagination - as long as you take action.

Yesterday we went hiking in the snow on Mount Seymour, British Columbia. We had a wonderful time and the views were, as always on a clear day, extraordinary. BC is certainly the most beautiful place in the world in my opinion. As we walked past a frozen lake, we saw two snowshoes sticking up at the entrance to a snow cave. It was a father, lying on is stomach, gazing into the cave that his young daughter had crawled into! The entrance was about two feet high and 18 inches wide. Imagine a father allowing his daughter to risk her life like that. They say child abuse is giving your kid a hiding. How about sending them into a snow cave, alone, that could collapse at any minute?

My point? When someone offers you a wonderful business opportunity / investment miracle / amazing seminar / exceptional book to read, ask them this: "Have YOU done what you're proposing I do?" Perhaps they're sending you into a snow cave to risk your life while they watch and collect the commission. Question their motives, and demand that they lead by example. Perhaps you're their guinea pig. You're their canary in the coal mine of risk. They want to have you take the risk (while they get paid for it) before they take the risk themselves, if they ever do.

At DollarMakers, we only recommend Joint Ventures that we are personally involved in. We recommend books that we have read. We lead by example. We're not Dollar Fakers - we're DollarMAKERS.
