Liberty League Associate of the Month

Liberty League International's Associate of the Month for September 2008 is my buddy Gene Braxton. I hope you enjoy this peek into Gene's life. He's been a huge impact on my life and business. He and I have toasted our successes all over the world from the Caribbean to Sydney to Rome Italy.

If Gene were "guest-blogging" with me, I think he'd be the first to tell you....his accomplishments are achievable by anyone who is willing to follow a simple system. He might also add, "you haven't seen anything yet!"

Congratulations Gene Braxton on being Liberty League International's Associate of the Month!

Is this "reasonable"? Heavens, no! That's why it works!

That's George Bernard Shaw over on the right, there.

I like him. He's famous for -- among other things -- he once said, "I've gotten rich by thinking a couple of times a week.

I love it. And that's the kind of people I like learning from.

So, let me tell you a story....

I'm thinking back three-and-a-half years ago. I went to a presentation call that explained how I -- me -- a former Waldenbooks bookstore clerk -- could actually get started in a home business and earn $250,000 in my first year.

And I "got" it.

I got started...and sure enough, I followed the system working part-time hours and made $15,000 in net profit in my first 30 days.

And I had to think....who the heck wouldn't do this??

And here's the answer: REASONABLE people wouldn't do this!

Yeah, that's right. "Reasonable" people won't do this.

What do I mean? Well, let's go back to our friend Mr. Shaw (above) and see what he says:

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Read that again. Do you get it? The only progress that takes place in the world comes from the "unreasonableness" of men.

See, let me share this with you: it's not "reasonable" for someone to think they can actually earn $250,000 in a year in a home business! Not when the "average" person is squeaking by on $30,000 per year and working 50-60 hours a week.

Heavens no! That's totally unreasonable!

So, why is it that the average person has this "disconnect" between what they SAY they want....and what they're willing to do?

Here's the answer: the number one enemy of the "unreasonable" man is the masses. The "herd" of people who think like all the rest and constantly look at each other for approval.

In fact, since we're quoting famous people, here's one from a guy you may have heard of: Albert Einstein.

Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses, instead, to express his opinions courageously and honestly.

And see that's what Liberty League is all about. It's about people who are willing to be UNREASONABLE in their desire for a better life and they're willing to break free from the masses.

See, I can't be of any service to the "herd". Why? Because they cling to mediocrity. They cling to their comfort zone. Because they don't have a goal. They don't have any confidence in their ability to create their own life.

They worship "familiarity". They seek approval from their broke, miserable, pissed-off friends, family and neighbors and -- unless they change -- they will die broke.

Not "might die broke"....WILL die broke. There is no success for the mediocre person....that's why they're called "mediocre".

But the wonderful news is that Liberty League International is not in the business of trying to change the minds of the masses. No! We're not looking to convince people to play big in life....we're looking for people who have already decided to play big in life...and they're just looking for a place to do that.

Does that make me "better" than the reasonable, mediocre people? Of course not. I used to be one of them. And anyone can choose a different life at any moment.

But, until they do.....well, thank you for continuing to work in the jobs that I don't want to do. I don't like mowing my yard and I'm happy to pay someone else to do it who doesn't want to be a millionaire. And I'll pay him well! And give him a tip! I'm grateful that someone wants to wash my car....and I'm happy to pay him well, too! And give him a big tip, too!

Unreasonableness. It wasn't reasonable for Bill Gates to decide to put a computer in ever office in the world. It wasn't reasonable for Coca-Cola to want a bottle of their product in every refrigerator in the world.

And, no....it's not reasonable for you to want to work 15-20 hours a week and earn more money in a month than most people make in a year.

It's completely unreasonable. And that's why it works.

Want A Great Recipe For Failure?

If you actually were to assign some "language" to the way most people think, here's what it would look like. And it's a recipe for failure:

I am fed up with this situation I'm in. I'm serious about making a ton of money. I want to start living the life I deserve. I want to get into my dream home. I want to get out of this job and get home with my family. My kids deserve for me to be there. And I want to finally start earning the kind of money I see other people earning. So, I found this great business where people are really earning multiple six-figure incomes and they really look like they're having fun....

...so I think I'll go talk to all my broke friends about it and ask what they think. Then I think I'll get on the Internet and find a discussion forum and ask those people what they think about it even though I don't know them and I have no idea if they've ever been successful in a home business.

Wow. They were really close there for a moment, weren't they? They had the resolve and they had the decision. And then they made the mistake of listening to people who weren't qualified to advise them.

As crazy as that sounds, that is EXACTLY the kind of process that keeps most people stuck in their lives and frustrated with their situations. They cultivate the belief that making money is "hard" simply because they spend their time polling people who aren't any more successful than they are.

The key to success is simple: make decisions and take actions every day that take you closer to your goals, not further away. And the example above is a guaranteed way to stay stuck and frustrated.

This video is great

Watch the reactions of the people in this video to what the guy is doing. The look on their faces are full of happiness, joy and support! But you know what they're thinking...they WISH they had the power to do what this guy is doing!

And here's the kicker....they do...

They just aren't willing to act on it...

Enjoy the video and the laugh!
