Todays call

Todays call with Mentoring For Free [link] was the 30 day cleanse day where we discuss what we learned from the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill.

What it comes down to is, decisions or lack thereof; some of the worlds most successful people have said that not some of their biggest mistakes were not making a precise decision or procrastinating when it came to deciding on a course of action.

An example that I think most people in America would understand was that of the story behind July 4th 1776, that's the date everyone remembers but do you know it started even earlier than that? September 5th 1774 , nearly 2 years before the signing of the declaration of independance. This is the date that the First Continental Congress was to be held in Philladelphia. Samuel Adams and John Hancock managed to convince the Correspondence Comittee to agree to it and well, the rest is history :-)

On reading the chapter, I never realised why July the 4th was so important to my American friends. It's not just THE day, its a symbol of what can happen when a few good men have a desire to change their situation and the courage to see it through at all costs, how an idea of such good substance and universal need can focus and drive the desire's of a group of just 56 people and then on to a whole country of people all (well most) striving towards a universal goal that was worthy and good.

A master mind group and decision was the catalyst of it all. So the book says. I'm willing to believe that, the chapter motivated me to set the exact time and date of my next group meeting and send it out to my entire group. I am comitted to the new training calls and the movement in my own business is growning all the time.

To your success
