5 Decisions to Shred Fear Out of Your Life

I have personally witnessed thousands of people worldwide imprisoned by fear.? They are trapped behind the bars of not being worthy of success and shackled to their past mistakes. Are you one of those prisoners? ?Have you been wrongly convicted and given a life sentence by the enemy of fear?? It??s time for you to break free!? How can you possibly break through the bondage that has kept you chained down and unable to move forward in years?? Make a decision.? That??s right.? You must make the decision that you will no longer be a slave to fear.

The original Hebrew root of the word ??decision?? means to cut off and get rid of.? It??s done. It??s finished.? No more. It??s decision time!? Take a deep breath and get ready to change your life with these five decisions that will shred fear out of your life.

Decision #1: Make the Shift

In the movie, ??Facing the Giants??, the coach cares enough about one of his players to get in his face and confront him about his fear. He sees that the player has the gift of leadership, but is wasting it.? The coach pushes the player and makes him go to a level where he??s never been.? He??s got to see beyond where he??s been by doing something that he??s never done.? At that point, the shift happens??the shift from the past to the present??from where he??s been to where he wants to go now.

A shift gets developed when you??re focused.? Lack of focus will kill your dreams! When you make that shift and get laser-focused, it??s guaranteed that you will achieve your goals and dreams.? Unfortunately, the biggest distractions in our lives that cause us to lose focus are other people.? These people don??t believe in you or your dream.? They are insecure dream stealers that won??t take the action for that shift in life to happen.? There??s only one thing to do when you are surrounded by these types of people??get away!? If they are family or close friends, then it??s time to love them, leave them and show them.? Let them know that you love them but you have to take time for yourself to achieve your dreams and then your action that you show them in pursuit of your goals and dreams will greatly change how they see you.? What happens next?? The shift!

Decision #2: Take Ownership of Your Why

One of the top things that you must do to get fear out of your life is take ownership of your Why, which is your ultimate purpose. It??s the reason you get out of bed every day.? When you take ownership of your Why, you own it no matter what happens, no matter what occurs each and every day. It??s your Why and nobody can take that from you!? Your Why is the insurance that backs up your goals and dreams. There??s no way that you can give up on your daily quest to achieve your goals and dreams if have taken full ownership of your Why.

You have to protect your Why, because it??s yours and you own it.? If someone walked into your home and started taking your valuables, I have no doubt that you would stop them, because it??s your stuff!? You own it!? However, why do most people allow the naysayers to steal your Why on a daily basis?? It??s simple.? They haven??t taken true ownership of their Why in life.? You have to fight for your Why like you would fight for your belongings. If you have someone in your life trying to take your Why away from you, the get rid of them.? Like I said before, love them, leave them and show them.? It??s your Why so take some action to protect it!

Decision #3: Make Your Pledge

A pledge is a declaration, a solemn vow.? ? It??s your responsibility to make a pledge to yourself and your Why to be the very best that you can get every single day.? When you make a declaration to yourself and everyone around you that you will not give up on your Why, fear will flee!? There??s no room for fear if you are truly committed to your Why!

That??s right.? I said a commitment! Your pledge is a formal commitment.? It doesn??t waiver or falter during the tough times.? Your pledge causes you to lead by example with your attitude, words, ethics, and values.? Your pledge is the driving force behind your Why.? It pushes you and serves as a constant reminder about your commitment.

With the confrontation and resistance that constantly bombard us in society, your pledge will be challenged.? You will be pressured to give up, because the world says that your pledge is not realistic. What do you do? When you get pushed, push back hard and speak your Why in the face of the enemy.? You have made pledge, a vow, to your Why and you must refuse to let anyone cause you to doubt it.? Remember, you??ve made the shift in your life to go to the next level, you??ve taken ownership of your Why, and now your pledge to your Why is in place.? So, what??s next?

Decision #4: Build Your Mastermind Team

Your mastermind team is your support system.? They empower you to prosper in every area of your life no matter what obstacles stand in your way or the adversity that you face. Now, close your eyes and visualize who is on your mastermind team.? Does that image make you smile or does it cause you to realize why you are failing in various areas of your life?

If the people on your mastermind team do not add value you to your life and encourage you to go after your dreams, then it??s time for a change.? An unmotivated, discouraging mastermind team will ruin your chances of ever achieving your ultimate Why in life.? These types of people are selfish and their motives are very different than yours. Fear will constantly consume you if you continue to allow these people to negatively affect your life.

What if you have no one in your closest circle of influence that you would ask to be on your mastermind team? Well, it??s time for you to venture outside of that circle and meet some new people that have similar goals and dreams. The Lifestyle Freedom Club is the #1 success and motivation club in the world, and the members are motivated champions just like you!?

Decision #5: Create a Solid Foundation

When a house is built, a lot of time is spent laying the foundation.? If the foundation is not solid, then the house will eventually crumble.? Similarly, you cannot achieve your Why in life without a solid foundation of commitment.? Your Why will fall apart and become unachievable if you are not seriously committed.

Imagine your commitment as the foundation of your Why house.? The windows are your daily action steps, the walls are your habits, the roof consists of your mastermind team, and so on.? Do you realize how easily this entire structure will fail if your commitment is shaky?? It might be stable for a while but it will eventually fall down around you.

You also strengthen your foundation by continuing to grow your roots deeper and deeper.? Your roots are developed by immersing yourself in personal development ? listening to motivational CDs, reading inspirational books, etc.? Your belief in yourself and your ability to achieve your Why will skyrocket when you create that daily habit of learning.? As your belief builds, your roots grow and your foundation becomes more solid.

I??m often asked if it??s okay to take some time off.? When you stop your daily success habits and take a break from your personal development, cracks will start to develop in your foundation.? Even the slightest little crack will allow the weed of fear to sprout through and endanger your Why.? If you are truly committed to the achievement of your Why in life, then you should absolutely no desire to take a break from your success journey.

Now, let??s recap??

THE POWER OF THE A-Z PRESENTATION

Over the last decade of being a professional home-based networker, when someone asks me, “John, what is the #1 reason why people fail in their own network marketing business?” I say with 110% confidence it is because they customize their presentations assuming what each individual prospect will find exciting. This mindset will definitely set you up for failure!

The key to success is the power of duplication — showing the same presentation over and over. You need to be presenting the entire business from A-Z to each and every one of your prospects because you have no idea what is going on inside them as you share the business. You must show your business exactly the same way each time you present your program for two primary reasons:

Reason #1 is you will be 100% full of confidence & conviction knowing what you are going to say because you have presented the entire plan from A-Z numerous times the SAME EXACT WAY. Repetition is the mother of skill. Your nervousness will also decrease, because you will become confident in your presentation.

Reason #2 is because I can almost guarantee you that when you begin to put this into practice you will have your prospects respond to aspects of your business that you would have assumed they would not have been interested in before. You will see your business explode within a short period of time. Just imagine everyone in your network internalizing this mindset and fully understanding the power of an A-Z presentation. The leadership abilities within them will skyrocket, which in turn will create momentum in your business.

Momentum is a force that you will not be able to control; it is also the key to unprecedented growth in your business. Leadership is earned by people who deserve it and you will project leadership when you present with the “Power of A-Z”. Always remember, it is just a matter of time before you hit your target when you keep aiming for it!

THE POWER OF A SCOPE

We all know the power of a scope if you need to focus in on a target and hit it. We all need to develop and truly understand the power of the human mind’s scope. All of us have inside of us the potential to be as powerful as the most high-tech laser scope available today. A scope is designed to focus in on a target without getting distracted or losing focus in order to hit its target right on the bull’s eye. Now remember that all mechanical scopes are programmed by human technology and if we can do it for machines, we can do it for ourselves.

As you are progressing each day on your journey to your ultimate outcome in life, you need to stay 110% focused on your target. You need to focus in on your WHY in life and not be distracted by all the other negative noise we all hear each day in this negative world. You are 1000% more advanced in your focus just by reading this article today, because most people stop personal development as soon as their formal education stops. I always say formal education will get you a job, but self-education will enable you to design a life you want to live!

Your personal scope in life can be finely tuned each day based on the people you associate with along with your personal commitment to personal development. As you develop your mind, you will be able to stay focused on your target and hit it right in the bull’s eye. I am a true believer in the daily focusing of your sniper, which is a minimum of 15 minutes of personal development per day. This can be done by listening to audiotapes or by reading written materials, which will empower you and improve your results.

I personally invest two hours each day for my own personal development in life. The outcome of your internal scope in life is ultimately determined by how you fine-tune it each day. You need to ask yourself an honest question, “Am I doing all I can do to hit my target (your WHY) in life by enhancing each and every day the input to my human scope?” If the answer is “no”, then take action now and change your life forever!

MIRACLES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

You have a responsibility to create miracles in your own life. The responsibility lies on your shoulders. You can’t blame anyone else, and you can’t look outside of yourself for someone else to create the miracles for you. In this article, I’m going to break down the word “Miracle”, because each of you have a responsibility. As you know, my Why is to impact others and change the world one heart at a time. As you read this today, my goal is for you to take responsibility and realize that you have the innate ability to create miracles. So let’s get started!

The letter “M” means Momentum, which is created by you. You must create Momentum in your life for yourself, for your Why, for your family, for your success, for your finances, for your health…YOU create Momentum! No one else will do it for you. You aren’t a surfer waiting for the next wave to come in. You and only you must create your own Momentum to drive you toward creating your Miracle!

The letter “I” stands for Incentive. You must have something inciting you to action…your ultimate “Why”. Why are you doing what you are doing? Why do you want to begin that business? An Incentive builds the foundation that keeps you focused on your Miracle. No doubt about it! But again, it is your responsibility to determine what your incentive is and how it will drive you toward your Miracle.

The letter “R” stands for Revelation. As you read this today, get a Revelation! It’s your responsibility…no one else’s. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you came from, how much money you have…get a Revelation. YOU can and will create Miracles!

The letter “A” stands for Action. I know you’ve heard this before, but read this today, print it out and decide that you are going to take Action to create Miracles. Take the Action that you know that you need to take to create your Miracle.

The letter “C” stands for Commitment. Finally…once and for all…dive right into it…get Committed to your Miracle! It’s your responsibility. Inside you is a reason for why you are here…your Miracle…so Commit to it. Go for it!

The letter “L” stands for Love. You must Love what you do. You must Love the Miracle that you are focused on creating. If your Miracle is all about money…you will fail! Your Miracle cannot be based on money. Your Miracle must be based on what you can do to impact the world, which will produce everlasting results. You will produce true Miracles! Don’t let anyone else tell you what you must do for money. Love what you do and create your own Miracles.

The letter “E” stands for Energy. You’re gonna need Energy to create your Miracle. There’s no such thing as it “falling in your lap”, “luck” or “winning the lotto” in a success mindset. It takes hard work! You need the Energy to take those daily action steps to create your Miracle. It is your responsibility to maintain your Energy to create your Miracle.
