Through-out the day I get to speak with Business Owners, CEO’s, Executives, Entrepreneurs, Students and people from just about every walk of life. During our conversations we spend the majority of our time looking for ways to help them increase their performance, better their results and take their health, business, relationships, finances…etc. to the NEXT LEVEL!

I woke up this morning and read a short post (see below) from twitter that mentioned the “TOP 5 REGRETS OF THE DYING” and smiled. As focused and passionate as I am about life… from time to time things like this pop up (I believe as a sign from god) to remind me to slow down and enjoy all the beauty of life!

What is making a ton of money worth if all you do is keep it for yourself… take some time to share it with the ones you love (or with a worth cause) and notice how a little bit can make a HUGE difference in someones life when you share it at just the right moment.

Spending your life working non stop 24/7 (yes, even those of us who LOVE what we do and feel like “its not work, I do what I love”) need a reminder to take some time to go play… take a trip with some good friends and spend the days out on adventures, spend the evenings watching silly movies, playing games or talking about life… (not sure on your idea of a fun time, but I hope you take time to have a fun time with good friends and loved ones).

I think you get my point… remember life is a precious gift that is given to use to share with those that matter most.

Here is a copy of the post that I read earlier today…

My question to you would be…

Are you REALLY LIVING?

Are you taking time to share your life with those who you love?

Are you sharing your resources with loved ones or putting them towards a meaningful cause?

I’d love to know your opinion and answer to your questions below!

Have an AMAZING DAY!

Most people wait till it gets soooooooo bad that they HAVE to make a change.

You hear people say stuff like “I really want to make a shift in ____X____ this year” (x = the area of life they would like to see a shift in)

they get all hyped up and excited (for about 10 days), take a whole bunch of action… then a few weeks later quit!

I just wanted to share a simple strategy and also a great video of a man who did not quit.

Here is my simple strategy… DONT WAIT – not another day, minute or second… if there is an area of your life that you would like to change… START NOW!!!! Literally RIGHT NOW! Make a decision right this moment that you are going to make the shift and write down EXACTLY what you are going to do. Thats right, take out a pen and paper (or post it below) and write down your commitment!

Once you have your commitment written down I want you to watch the video below and get inspired by a man who found his reason to RUN… (the *KEY* to his success in shedding the weight and becoming healthy was simple… finding a reason to RUN that was much BIGGER than just himself).

Watch and Enjoy…

Soooo… after watching that my question to you would be … What is your reason to go after what it is that you want in life? What is your reason to get started TODAY? What will your reason be to keep going when you get tired, sore and don’t feel like doing it?

It all starts with knowing WHAT YOU WANT and finding your BIG WHY!

My final question would be… WHAT ACTIONS MUST YOU TAKE RIGHT NOW to create progress and momentum towards the results you are after?

Looking forward to hearing some of YOUR plans! (feel free to post them below if you’d like some feedback)

Have an incredible DAY!

Hope you dig it!

Being coached by my father early on in life I was given the challenge to learn a few lessons that I feel gave me an edge over many others in todays market. The story below will walk you through my experience of learning to fully apply this tool as well as give you the steps and challenge you to do the same in your life and business!

A Summer Job and a Lesson in Strength

To set the scene, it was the summer of my Junior year at the University of San Diego. Normally the goal for a college student in the summer is to get a summer job, an internship, or take additional courses to get ahead and graduate early. None of these were the options that my coach suggested for that summer. He suggested and arranged with my step-grandfather up in Canada for me to come up for the summer to learn how strong I really am as a man. I never would have imagined the impact that this summer would have on my life and the edge that it would provide for me both in life and business!

My summer job was going to be stacking lumber (hard labor) at a lumber yard just outside of Vancouver, Canada. When I arrived at grandpas house he gave me an overview of how my day to day life was going to look like for the next 3 months. He told me that I would be picked up on the side of the freeway each morning at 6 am (sharp!) by a van of workers and we would drive about an hour north to the lumber yard and begin working from 7 am – 5 pm stacking lumber.

The various stacks of lumber had boards weighing between a few pounds all the way up to four to five hundred pounds. The job consisted of taking lumber from a wet stack and “sticking” it (placing a bunch of thin sticks between each layer as we re-stacked the lumber to leave a space in-between each piece so it could go into the dryer). About a week later we would then re-stack the same lumber from a dry stack to a “tight” stack to be wrapped and shipped out to companies and people who had purchased it.

Learning to Love the Experience

Seeing that the family had bets on “how long I’d last” I made it a point to step up and over deliver (this is a trait I have kept and use daily in my business to ensure my clients are always given way more than they’d expect). My goal was to get up at 4:30 am, work out in the gym for 30 min (lifting weights and running at least 2 miles), eat breakfast, get down to the side of the freeway to get picked up, work the entire day stacking lumber and eventually return home. Before dinner I hit the gym for another 30-40 min before having dinner and getting to bed for the next day.

What I learned in this experience, working 6 days a week for 3 months, was both how strong I really was and more importantly how to find the mental, emotional and physical strength to take a seemingly boring and repetitive task that I had absolutely NO passion for and turn it into an experience that I LOVED and actually looked forward to doing each day.

What tasks in your business (or life) do you have to do daily/weekly/monthly that you hate (or strongly dislike) to do?

Think of that task as you read the rest.

Two Principles to Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary

Many entrepreneurs, small business owners and young professionals will face activities in their day to day life that they just are not “passionate” about and/or straight up hate to do! One of the greatest gifts they can give themselves is to learn how to take the seemingly boring or mundane task and learn to LOVE IT!

There are two principles they will have to master to turn the ordinary into extraordinary.

These principles are:

1. The ability to shift their perception about how they view the activity
2. The ability to shift their procedure of how they go about physically doing the activity.

Perception and Procedure

When I first arrived at the lumber with the 14 other men (non of which spoke English) and was walked through how to properly stack the lumber, it seemed to be fun. Simply pick up a piece of lumber from one stack, walk over a few feet, and place it down on the other stack. After a few hours of this repetitive activity I was not enjoying it at all. I first got bored, then started getting frustrated. After the emotion built up, I then started building a story in my mind … a story around how I had obviously undervalued myself; this was a horrible decision; I was wondering how much I was going to get paid for all this work (one thing I had forgotten to ask before accepting the challenge); and began to find every single thing that I did not like about what I was doing.

I was 100% certain that if I kept this mindset I would not make it even a week through this 3 month challenge.

Challenging Myself to Change MY Perception

I challenged myself to answer the following questions…

1. What is great about this experience?
2. What do I (or can I) enjoy about this experience?
3. How can I grow from this experience?
4. How will this experience assist me in the rest of my life?

My first response was….

1. NOTHING!
2. NOTHING!
3. I am not going to at all!
4. It is not, simply a waste of time!

I knew I could do better than these answers so I asked again… (until I came up with a better answer):

I finally came up with this…

1. What is great about this experience is that I am outside in a beautiful part of the world, and I am basically at the “gym” (I started to identify all the different ways I could pick up a board and related it to different weight lifting exercises at the gym). I soon found myself doing bicep curls, tricep kick backs, squats, lunges, shoulder rows, back flys, dead lifts and many other exercises.
2. What I could enjoy about this experience is that I now had 3 months of toning, sculpting and strengthening my body daily!
3. How can I grow… I had an idea, I was going to get an iPod and load it with as many great audiobooks and personal development programs as I could get my hands on and everyday both expand my mind by learning everything I possibly could as well as physically growing in strength daily!

This experience will be one of the greatest lessons in my entire life and certainly one that has MASSIVELY impacted my business.

Through answering those questions I was able to shift my mindset from “HATING” the task that I needed to get done each day and turning it into an activity that I actually really enjoyed and actually looked forward to each day (even though at some points I wasn’t sure if I could even walk, my body was so sore!)

A Challenge for You…

My hope in sharing this simple story with you is to inspire you to sift through your life and business to identify the activities that you have been putting off or avoiding because you simply dislike having to do them. As you identify these activities I would challenge you to find a way to shift your perception and/or procedure and turn these activities into ones that you can learn to LOVE to do. The gift you will give yourself (beyond getting the necessary work done) is that you will now have the ability to turn an “ordinary” activity into an “EXTRAORDINARY” experience in your life.

Final thought… if you had the ability to take something you hate to do and through simply shifting your perception or procedure learn to LOVE it… what freedom do you feel that will provide for you in your life and business? How much more effective will you be? How would it affect your personal life?

You would never imagine the freedom this will give you, the amount of fulfillment it will add to your life and the pride in knowing you are able to take a mundane task and turn it into something you are passionate about.

To your success!

Results Wealth Series… What do you think?

Hopefully you have gathered some tools, insights

and strategies around wealth and started to apply

them to your life!

This next step is all about DREAMING BIG!

If I were to ask you… In the next 5 years what is

your vision for wealth in your life?

Do you have a crystal clear vision? For most

people the answer is NO! they are so caught up

just trying to figure out how to pay the bills next

month that they haven’t event taken a moment

to create a vision for all of the wealth and abundance

that they’d like to have in the future.

You know as well as I do… What ever you focus on

you get MORE of!

Here is a quick video of me sharing some insights

on creating your wealth vision as well as sharing

a few simple tools you can create to help you keep your

mind focused on that vision until it becomes reality!

After you finish reading this e-mail I’d spend

15-20 min literally creating your wealth vision!

*************

SIDE NOTE

Another tool you can use to help you create your

WEALTH VISION is the “IDEAL DAY KIT”

This kit will help you create a vision for your

absolute ideal day! The type of day that even

heels in love with!

Now that you have your WEALTH VISION… I have to

share with you a message that I found that will help describe

to you the level of commitment you’ll need in order to

turn this vision into reality…

So… DO YOU WANT IT AS BAD AS THEY DESCRIBED IN

THE VIDEO?

If so, then you will find a way!

If not, then what would you have to shift in your mind, body or

emotions in order to want it THAT bad?

I’ll leave you with that today…

Until tomorrow!

Jairek Robbins

FORMULA that will literally help you RAPIDLY ACHIEVE

your WEALTH VISION! All you have to do is take action and

apply it 100% and you’ll be on your way to RAPID RESULTS!

PSS: Remember…

“You will never be successful until I do not Have to give you a dime

to do what you do…You won’t be successful Until you can say I don’t

need that money I got it in here…” –Eric Thomas

Have you identified a BIGGER reason of why you really do what you do?

A reason beyond the money? Tomorrow I’ll share a couple stories of how

i have watched people literally go from $0 to Millions all based on their

ability to help others have a better quality of life!

A simple secret… the more they helped others… the more they made! 

Welcome back! So did you take a moment and

ask yourself to see if you are (honestly) applying

the two wealth philosophies that we talked about

in your life to the fullest extent possible?

If you are CONGRATULATIONS!

If you are not… WHY NOT? What would have to

happen for you to start fully applying both wealth

strategies TODAY!?

**************

SIDE NOTE

**************

The goal of this wealth series is to help you

TAKE ACTION toward creating ABSOLUTE

ABUNDANCE in your life!

Remember in order to have the ABSOLUTE

ABUNDANCE mindset you must be willing to

TAKE the ACTIONS necessary in order to

create it in your life!

**************

SIDE NOTE

**************

So now… STEP 2: Learning to MEASURE and

TAKE COUNT!

Here is a quick video on the difference this step

has made in my life and how it has helped a good friend

(MASSIVE HIGH NET WORTH INDIVIDUAL) Literally

go from $0 to $200 Million Dollars to $750 Million Dollars

to -$500 Million Dollars and back to the top once more…

VIDEO–>

So what did you learn?

Hopefully you got a bit of an insight from a man who

has literally been able to create a MASS of financial

abundance in his life, loose it and eventually make it

all back again!

The very first step to create an ABUNDANCE of $

is you have to TAKE COUNT and figure out where

you are starting from…

Personally I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using a very cool

workbook that a long time family friend (Chris Hendrickson)

created called the "TAKE COUNT WORKBOOK"

In this workbook Chris will walk you through your

current financial situation, crunch the numbers and

literally give you a grade on how well you are currently

set up to reach your long term financial goals!

It is super simple and will give you an unbelievably

crystal clear picture on where you actually are at

in your finances!

Once you are crystal clear on where you are regarding the

actual numbers… then lets take a moment and visit

another author that has shared with me a tool that

literally provided one of the simplest yet most

profound and powerful tools I have in my wealth

tool belt!

Robert Kiyosaki author of the book "Rich Dad, Poor

Dad" and creator of the Cash flow board game (tell

you more about this game in a bit! It is the MOST

EXPENSIVE board game I have ever purchased and

worth easily 10x the investment)

A while back I was introduced to the book "Rich Dad,

Poor Dad", read it and was literally blown away at the

impact it had on my life.

There are TONS of financial lessons that Robert covers

in the book I 100% recommend that you get a copy and

read it!

The #1 lesson I pulled from his book is simply this…

"My poor dad said…'we can't afford it'. My rich dad said…

'how can we afford it'."

Now some of you are thinking THAT'S IT! Come on…I

read all of this for THAT!

YES! It is by far one of the simplest shifts you can make

in your mindset and at the same time a shift that will literally

open more opportunities to you and your family than you

could ever imagine…

This for a second of something you've ALWAYS wanted to do

in your life… take your family on a vacation? Buy your dream

house?…etc. and ask yourself… Why haven't I purchased

that yet? (listen to all of the stories…)

Then ask… Why can't I afford it? (and listen to all the reasons

that pop up in your head)

The ask… How can I afford it? (ignore, I CAN't… and wait

just a few more seconds for your brain to process and begin

to come up with creative solutions of how you can afford to

take that dream family vacation, or move your family into

that dream house!)

If you practice this simple tool it is AMAZING at the possibilities

you will be able to have in your life!

Ok wow this was a long one…

Going to save some for tomorrow!

Stay tuned!

Jairek Robbins

PS: I mentioned Cash Flow 101 and said it was the most

expensive board game I had ever purchased in my life! Yet

worth 10x's the investment! Well I lied… I say it is easily worth

100x's the investment!

Playing this board game has literally helped me to create and

re-enforce both the mindset and consistent action patterns that

at 27 years old has set me up (already) for absolute financial

freedom!

PSS: Stay tuned for tomorrow STEP 3: Creating your wealth

VISION! The insights on both creating a vision for wealth

in your life and a few insights on how to rapidly achieve

that vision! 

I am excited to share with you a simple

4-Part System that will help you create

an ABSOLUTE ABUNDANCE mindset!

Before we go to far into this I'd ask you to first

watch this video of me describing a few examples

of people who are UNBELIEVABLY WEALTHY

and some of the strategies I learned from them.

VIDEO–>Jairek's Video on Wealth Perspectives

As you see in the video there are two shifts in

your perspective that you can take immediately

that will instantly take the level of WEALTH

in your life to a whole new level!

Make sure you take a moment and ask yourself

(BE HONEST) if you are fully applying both

philosophies in your life…

#1 – Am I squeezing every ounce of juice out

of what I currently have?

#2 – Am I striving for goals that are WAY beyond

my comfort zone and goals that put a fire in my belly?

*****************

SIDE NOTE

*****************

Speaking of "Fire in my belly" I am really excited

To share with you a Six-Step system that will

Help you ACHIEVE RAPID RESULTS in your

Life and Business.

Stay tuned… it will coming up in the series! And

Trust me this one is simple and at the same time a

GAME CHANGER!

Stay tuned…

*****************

SIDE NOTE

*****************

Along with the philosophy of making the most

out of what you have, and making sure you are

aiming for MASSIVE GOALS… another very

simple tip you can use to help you create an

ABSOLUTE ABUNDANCE mindset is GRATTITUDE!

If you take a moment and begin to look around

in your life… ask yourself the following questions:

1. What am I truly grateful for in my life right now?

2. What am I proud of in my life right now?

3. What do I cherish in my life right now?

4. What in my life am I excited about?

And ask you answer those questions make sure you

reflect on how WEALTHY you already are!

Now, I\if you'd like a perspective on WEALTH around the

world check out this Sarah McLachlan music video…

VIDEO–>  WORLD ON FIRE "Sarah McLachlan"

Isn't it AMAZING how far a little bit of money can go,

and how much of a difference it can make in the world!

How can you use all of the wealth in your life to make

a powerful positive difference in the world?

Well that's it for now!

I will be sending out STEP 2 tomorrow!

Stay Tuned!

Jairek Robbins

PS: One of my ALL TIME FAVORITE Non-profit

organizations is the Anthony Robbins Foundation.

I just spoke last week at their GLOBAL YOUTH LEADERSHIP

SUMMIT and I was blown away at the difference they are

helping make in young peoples lives from all over the globe!

check them out at www.AnthonyRobbinsFoundation.org

PSS: Tomorrow I am going to unveil the MOST IMPORTANT

step that I've used in my life to assist me in creating FINANCIAL

FREEDOM, make sure you stay tuned for that e-mail! 

Again I just wanted to take a moment and THANK all of you who decided to support me and JustLikeMyChild.org in the San Diego Rock’n'Roll Marathon!

Here is a bit more about the organization…

Team izigg had a BLAST running in the event and are very excited for the funds raised to help out in the Ugandan Villages!

In total we were able to raise more than $1,800. To give you some insight on what that can do in Uganda… the MOST expensive malaria medicine is $2 (USD)… so if the organization was just going to invest the funds towards that it would save approximately 900 peoples lives!

I was just at a meeting with the founder of July Like My Child (they have an AWESOME event coming up in a few months here in San Diego make sure to check out their web-site for more info) and she was sharing with me the fact that for around $1,500 per month they are able to employee a FULL TIME seasoned doctor in the hospital they helped build who can save 100′s (if not 1,000′s) of lives per month!

So THANK YOU again for taking the time to help out! If by chance you still wanted to help donate you can do so at JustLikeMyChild.org

Also I mentioned the new running gear I found. It is AMAZING!!!

Beyond being INCREDIBLY comfortable, and made with an inner lining that prevents nipple burn (ouch!) road rash or anything else like that… it was created with anti-bacteria material and also material that helps cut the oder!

I can go on for days about these running shirts! Check them out here… http://bit.ly/iKqtkR

and last but not least here is a link for my new Rapid Results Formula Crash Course (www.RapidResultsFormula.com).

I’ve had hundreds of people from around the world go through my entire 90 Day Video Coaching Program and RAVE about the results they were able to achieve… I also had a hand full of people let me know that due to their current financial situation they would love to do it but didn’t have an extra $497 in their budget.

Soooo… I decided to offer the first 4 weeks (out of the 12 total weeks) of Video Coaching with me for only $197 (actually I have a surprise for you if you go to www.RapidResultsFormula.com and watch the “RAPID RESULTS CRASH COURSE” that I created!)

Enjoy and let me know what you think about that new “Crash Course Video”… I’d love to hear your feedback!

Hope you have an AMAZING DAY!

Jairek Robbins

PS: I’ve discovered some really cool insights around financial abundance and how to create financial freedom in a “down economy”… actually how to create financial freedom no matter what the economy is doing… I am going to be sharing more on that in the next few weeks!

PSS: I am going to do a “FUNNY JOKE” contest… the best joke over the next 24 hours gets a free copy of my “Rapid Results Formula” program! Post jokes on my FaceBook page –> http://on.fb.me/miShAA

Sooo…. what bridges in your life are the ones to burn!?

Well here are my thoughts…

1. Take a moment and comb through all of the MAJOR commitments currently in your life…

2. Gage 0-10 the level of commitment you had when you first started…

3. Gage 0-10 the CURRENT level of commitment you have on this project…

4. What would you have to do RIGHT NOW to get your commitment level all the way back up to 100%??

Just a simple tip… many times what causes a person’s level of commitment to drop is the fact that they loose track of their REASON WHY… and/or it looses the intensity if first had when they started!

How to re-ignite your commitment level…

1. Spend 5 minutes (in a PEAK STATE) journaling all the reasons why it is an ABSOLUTE MUST for you to re-commit 100%

2. Take time each day and review your reasons why (ideally speak them out-loud in a PEAK STATE) each day!

3. Check out my90dayresults.com

Hope Ya’ll have an AMAZING DAY!!
