New Book – The Glenn Bland Method

Posted on by

Wow, Magic of Thinking Big took me a bit to complete, but was an amazing book.  However I’m really excited to get started on “Success! – The Glenn Bland Method”.  Basically how to set goals and make plans that really work.  We really need to put in place these types of success principals because so many of don’t do it.  It’s these people that go around and around living each year exactly the same as the last year and they complain why hasn’t anything changed.  I’m not willing to live like that.  Time for a change!

The foundation of success: Direction, balance, belief.

The definition of success: “Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile goals, stabilized with balance and purified by belief.”

Since I’m working some long hours, I actually have some time on my hand so why not feed that time with some positive input, because I can tell you the job is not positive input right now :)

Time as an Excuse

Posted on by

Today someone told me they didn’t have time for what we do.  So I thought about it and I think this deserves a blog entry.

Time is precious for sure, don’t get me wrong I totally understand that.  What I don’t understand is how people can use it as an excuse to not do something.  Now I know the above example was in regards to what we do, however this is not the first time I’ve heard this excuse for a myriad of other things. 

For example I’ve heard people complain they don’t have enough time to do such and such hobby or such and such sport.  So my question back to these people is what is that hobby or sport actually worth to you?  If you say you’d like to do it but don’t have the time, are you just saying it for the sake of saying it?  Or do you actually mean you want to do that sport/hobby?  If you really truly wanted to do it then you’d make the necessary changes in your life to make the time. 

People who are busy actually have more time then people who are not busy.  Why?  Because the people who are busy are excellent at scheduling and making time.  How do you think they got so busy?  People who are not busy, perhaps people who just sit every evening and watch T.V. are so conditioned they don’t realize they can make the time, but they are to lazy to make a change in their life.  Now I’m not saying everyone here is lazy, however we as North Americans are generally lazy.

Now the point I’m trying to make here is if something is that important to you then wouldn’t you want to make a change?  Even if that change meant a bit of hard work for a short period of time.  I recently posted how you reap what you sow; if you invest time then you’ll get time.  So why are people unwilling to make time?  It’s not necessarily because people are lazy, its because people are generally afraid of change.  To create time you need to change what your already doing and people really don’t like changing the way they do things.

Having said that, the people who are willing to makechanges so they can accomplish the things they said they didn’t have time for are the successful ones.  They are the people who have the “do whatever it takes” mentality, the people who break through the wall of fear.

The Guthrie’s are people who have that “do whatever it takes mentality because we realize that small time pain = long term gain.

What are you willing to do to achieve more with your life?

People are Lazy

The other day I was asked if this is so easy or if this is going to be so good for you then why isn’t everyone doing it.  I thought about it and its the exact same reason why people who say they want a six pack don’t get one.  They don’t want it bad enough.  People who want something bad enough are willing to make whatever changes are necessary to achieve that.  A perfect example last year for me was I wanted to do the Edmonton Moose is Loose 10k run.  I wanted to do it bad enough that I trained for it and ran almost every day.  The results, I was able to complete the race and for me that was a huge achievement.  I guess the same could be said for all those unhealthy North American’s out there who are overweight.  The ones that actually do want to loose weight are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen, the people who are still overweight saying they wish they could loose weight are not willing to make the change.

So coming back to this business, why don’t people do what we do? Because their dreams, goals, ambitions, desires, and vision are NOT worth changing for, no, they are not worth fighting for.  I continually hear people say I wish I could travel more, I wish I could be debt free, I wish I could have more time off, I wish I could retire early, I wish, I wish I wish.  There are so many things people want that they just can’t have working a regular 9-5 job struggling to make it pay cheque to pay cheque.  People are just willing to live life status quo!  Are you kidding me?!  WHY?  Why would you not want to look at something that can change your life so that you can obtain those dreams, goals, ambitions, desires and vision?

Well I for one am willing to make that change, I’m willing to put myself out there so that I can do whatever it takes so that my family can live larger dreams instead of living the broke dreams of getting my three weeks of holidays, traveling only a few times a year, and retiring at 65 (IF I’m lucky).  I’m passionate about this side business with World Wide Dreambuilders and it’s this passion that will motivate me for change.

I always ask yet never get an answer, what are you doing today that will help you achieve those big dreams and goals you have for your life and family?  Are you willing to make a change? Or are you just living the average status quo life?

Stand out, make a change!

New Beginnings

Posted on by

Well 2010 is finally here and when we got back from our New Years party around 2:45am I couldn’t sleep!  Why?  Because I was so excited about what 2010 is going to be for us.  It’s going to be huge, you cannot even imagine.  There has never been a new year that I’ve been so excited for.  I was literally vibrating in bed last night and my wife was getting mad cause she couldn’t sleep! HAHA.  Have you ever been this excited for a new year?  Well that’s what World Wide Dreambuilders has done for us.  Giving us something to be passionate about, something to be excited for… A change that is going to set us up for success for the rest of our lives.  I can tell you without a doubt that my regular job right now is NOT making me vibrate or keeping me excited and pumped for the new year.  I can also tell you that the majority of you out there are thinking the exact same thing.  If that’s the case it’s time for a change!

 

Keep an eye on this blog because amazing things are going to happen for The Guthrie’s!
