10 Life Lessons On How To Find Your Why NOW & Achieve Ultimate Success – Lesson 7 (part 2)

Many champions that disconnect themselves from the critics find themselves entering into a lonely, isolation zone. This is normal. It’s just part of the “friend exchange” that goes with your new life. You must be determined to surround yourself with other Champions that believe in you and want you to succeed. These people are your mastermind team. Your mastermind team should consist of people that will walk with you on your path to success. They are people that will encourage you as you face challenges that threaten the ultimate achievement of your Why. Do you have a Mastermind Team? Let’s see.

Now, cross off those people that are hindering and holding back your success. These are the critics that simply
can’t understand your music (your Why). They refuse to believe that you can and will do better things with your life. Don’t be surprised if you are left with only one or zero people out of those five. I’ve seen so many people give up on their dreams and the achievement of their Why, because they simply didn’t have a Mastermind Team to support them.

The Lifestyle Freedom Club

It’s very frustrating for me to see Champions fail because of their everyday associations with naysayers. That’s why I along with my team decided to take action and create the Lifestyle Freedom Club. This is the #1 fastest growing success and motivation club in the world full of other Champions just like you. I believe this club is a MUST for dream builders. Why? As I said before, it is very hard to achieve your Why by yourself. You need a support system, and someone that believes in you.

By changing your actions in life, you will change your results. By changing your results, you will notice that the quality of your life improves. This all happens, because you took the time and effort to find and ultimately achieve your Why in life.

The Growing Why

Your Why is a burning desire. It is the driving force that makes you achieve your ultimate goals. As your life progresses and your horizons expand, your Why will also naturally progress. Here’s an important principle: Your Why expands as you grow.

With your Why growing and expanding, it is very likely you will notice more changes in your life. All of the sudden, you change your habits and you are more interested in investing more time in your personal development. Personal development is the key to advancing yourself mentally, physically and socially in order to achieve your Why.

The Power of Other People

As your Why expands and becomes more developed, you will find yourself growing past some old friends and your current lifestyle. Just visualize adding a drop of water to a glass everyday. Soon the glass will overflow, and you will need a bigger glass. It’s the same with your Why. You will out grow the everyday normalcy. Your Why will start spilling over into every part of your life, and you will start to reach for bigger and better things. It may be painful or difficult, but creating change in your life always provokes change in your friends. It often takes courage and resolve to make those changes especially when it means that you must leave behind people that you have known all of your life. Many times, those same people just fall away when they see the new you. However it happens, change will always bring new friends and lose some old ones.

One of the principles in Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” is to let great people shape your life. That principle will always carry us away from people who are not great and will only keep us from achieving our Why. It is very likely that you will decide to just stop associating with certain people in your life. Some people have the unfortunate power to disconnect us from achieving our Why; therefore, we must make the decision to stop allowing those people to steal our dreams.

An accomplished and successful musician once said, “Critics are only remembered for what they failed to understand.” Don’t allow the critics in your life to kill your dream. Too many people have lost their dreams, because they have surrendered to the challenges that life threw at them. Those same challenges are often thrown by people that don’t understand and simply can’t hear the music in their own heart.

Just as the butterfly must struggle to shed its cocoon, we all have to struggle to climb out of failure and into success. In fighting its way out of the cocoon, the butterfly develops muscles that it will need to fly. I once heard a man describe trying to help a butterfly get free of its cocoon. He took a knife and cut the cocoon away. The butterfly came out, but then died right before his eyes! That butterfly needed – and we all need – the struggle to achieve. The great Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn once said, “Even biology teaches us that habitual well-being is not favorable to life.” We all need to struggle our way into success. Striving to succeed will always be part of achieving your Why. When we don’t have struggles or obstacles to overcome, we become complacent, lazy and passive.

My coaching student that wrote the Why statement that you read earlier certainly understands that. That’s the reason that she began her Why by saying, “The reason why I am dealing with all the challenges. . . ” She didn’t flinch at the possibility of obstacles. She embraced them. Just settle it in your mind that you will have challenges, you will have obstacles and you will have hurdles—no question about it!

That same champion student also uses the words, “I actually see…” This is a critically important key in the process of overcoming the problems. You must SEE yourself successful, and you must SEE yourself achieving your Why. That’s why many successful sports trainers make their students visualize the golf ball rolling into the cup, the basketball swooshing the net, the arrow hitting the core of the target, etc. If you see it, you can do it. If you can’t see yourself (visualize) achieving your Why, then your belief in your Why is not strong enough. The discovery of your Why is a great milestone in your life. You will change, and you will improve yourself. Your interests will change, and you will expand. You will enjoy life even more than you already do. In order for this to happen, you must invest in yourself, face the problems and see yourself achieving your Why.

What’s the next step? Let me give you another million dollar tip that will catapult your belief in your Why. Here it is. Read your Why Card before going to bed and meditate on it for a few moments. Go over the day and ask yourself, “What did I do today that will assist me in the achievement of my Why?” Then ask yourself, “What can I do tomorrow to improve my daily championship action steps that will ultimately lead to the achievement of my Why?”

Write all these things down in your personal Why journal. Just like the 3×5 index card, use a simple notebook for your Why journal. A Why journal is a tool that you can keep on your night stand or near your bed. Every night, jot your answers to those two questions.

1. “What did I do today that will assist me in the achievement of my Why?”

2. “What can I do tomorrow to improve my daily championship action steps that will ultimately lead to the achievement of my Why?”

These Champion habits will pulverize old, unproductive behaviors. These habits will increase your success pace drastically! I know many of you are saying to yourself, “But, I don’t have time to read the Why Card in the morning and at night.”

Let me ask you a heart-wrenching question, “Are you committed to achieving your Why in life?” If so, then you will soon realize that the amount time you invest reading your Why Card every morning and every night will determine when and if you achieve your Why in life.

The Purpose of Problems

The number of obstacles that you face in life will lay the foundation for massive growth. One of the most important principles to understand as you build your future is that problems have a purpose. A wise man once said, “The doorway to success is camouflaged by problems.” That’s why there are challenges, obstacles and hurdles between you and your Why. That’s the reason I often say and even wrote in the introduction to this book that my stuttering disability turned into a precious gift in my life. It became the driving force behind me creating the most powerful success key – “Find Your Why.” Success is always hidden by challenges and problems. In solving them, you acquire skills that you need to be a leader.

The 1st Seven Minutes of Each Day

Listen up…this is your coach speaking. One of the most important daily action steps is that you read your Why Card for the first seven minutes of your day. It is of the highest importance that you spend the first seven minutes of every day reading your Why card. That’s right. When you wake up in the morning, the first thing that you MUST do is read your Why Card. It’s called the “Why Rollover.” Rollover, grab your Why card and read it! Imagine reading your Why Card the first seven minutes of your day instead of picking your cell phone up, checking your email, clicking on TV and watching everything bad that is happening in the world. Isn’t your Why more important to you than those things? Start internalizing your Why. Start meditating on it for seven minutes early in the morning when you get up. This meditation period will set your day on fire! It will add a snap to your step and a smile to your face, because you know your Why. You know why you do what you do every single day and that you will ultimately achieve your Why in life!

Write this down and say it out loud:

“I have decided that I will read my Why Card every morning for the first seven minutes of my day. I will internalize my Why and feel my heart grow full of joy, excitement, determination, and creativity every day because I know my Why!” The Last Thing Every Night
