Success or Failure... you have the autonomy to decide
« on: March 03, 2009, 03:23:33 PM »


Back in the day, my friend Rich and his wife Debi lived in Manhattan.

Traffic was always a nightmare in the city.  So, if they were going someplace close, they almost always went on rollerblades.  It was fantastic because they'd weave through traffic, go down one-way streets in the opposite direction and hop on sidewalks in a mad dash to their destination.

But ever since they moved to sunny Boca Raton, Florida, their blades have been gathering dust.

This past weekend, Rich & Debi decided to break out the blades and have some fun as a family.  But before they hit the streets, Rich & Debi took their girls, Ava and Elle, to Sports Authority Saturday morning to get them roller-skates. 

They found the perfect skates, protective wrist guards, and slick helmets.  Both Ava and Elle decided to wear their skates out of the store so they put their sneakers in the boxes and carried all the boxes to the register.

On the way to the front, Elle their four-year old lost her balance and grabbed onto Debi's sweat pants.
But, they weren't tied securely, ...so in a split second, Debi's pants were down by her ankles.  :-[

So, there she was laughing, boxes in hand and pants at her ankles. 

Rich quickly put his boxes down, pulled Debi's pants up and got Elle back on her feet.

And, in that moment Rich remembered why he fell in love with Debi. 

She didn't panic, she didn't scream, she just laughed at the situation she found herself in.

And in that episode, she also displayed one of the key entrepreneurial success traits that many online marketers seem to lack - Autonomy.

You see, Debi doesn't really care what others might think. And this perspective is crucial if you want to succeed in business today. Bottom line, if you are too concerned about what other people might think you'll end up paralyzed by fear.

So, what about you?

Do you laugh when you're caught with your pants down? 
Or, do you panic and worry about what others might think?

Your answer is a bigger predictor of your success than you might imagine.

Remember this:  You must be emotionally free before you'll ever get financially free.

More over, think about where you might be hitting a snag emotionally and you'll most likely find the anchor that's holding you back financially.

And that my friend, is what you must cast aside on your journey to success.

To higher profits,

Wow, what a great story. You just enlightened my day. Just a tad less mind blowing than the crap I took this morning. .

That must have been quite the poop.



Maybe you should lose some weight? ...change your diet perhaps?

Good story.  That question about "how do I react when my pants fall down" actually gives me much to think about.

Even though I'm more of a "worker bee" than an entrpreneur, I still got something out of your story.
