Add this to your bucket list!

The Bucket List starring Jack Nicolson and Morgan Freeman told the story of two dying men trying to complete a list of 'things to do or experience' before they die. It's a bit cheesy yet enjoyable.

It did make me think though. I have started to rewrite my own list. Maybe you should as well as it helps to think about what it important in your life.

Obviously this is just another way of looking at WHY you are you involved with this business. It forces you to ask the question, 'will my involvement in this business take me towards what is on my Bucket List or not?

How many things should be on your list? Great personal development author Jack Cranfield talks of 101. I don't believe there should be a set number yet I like the fact he has a large number of things AND that he wrote his last list in his mid-40s [he still has THAT spark for life!]

The list I believe is also a living document to be added to and subtracted. Based on what you discover.

As an example; I don't really enjoy going to concerts; I fell asleep at the World Premier of Miss Saigon, turned down tickets to see Cirque du Soleil and walked out of a Prince concert. YET I WILL see the following people in concert…They are called the Dance of a Thousands Hands - Thousand-Hand Kuan Yin.

Considering the tight coordination required, their accomplishment is nothing short of amazing, even if they were not all deaf.  Yes, you read correctly.  All 21 of the dancers are complete deaf-mutes. Relying only on signals from trainers at the four corners of the stage, these extraordinary dancers deliver a visual spectacle that is at once intricate and stirring.

Think about what you want to see, do and become in your life as you watch this incredible performance. Talk to your people about writing their Bucket List. Maybe run a Bucket List Day…:

The Secret 2.0

If you have not heard of the Law of Attraction, you must either live under a rock or your Upline needs slapping for not introducing it to you!

The DVD/book 'The Secret' made the concept famous YET as the concept states 'people have known for ages that 'the secret' to success is knowing what you want!'

Well if this was The Secret 1.0, what should follow this?

The Secret 2.0 is captured in the last six letters of the Law of Attraction, that's right ACTION.

Dreams without Action is delusion.

Are you taking the amount of action necessary to achieve your dreams?

Where are you looking?

Many people today are worried about their situation. Financial, emotional, physical challenges. Is this you?

If it is, or you know someone, who has challenges then the best advice is to remember what you are focusing on.

A great metaphor for this is the motor racing driver going into a curve.

Like life, racing is a matter of curves. Sometimes you slide, sometimes you don't. And if you miss the curve, sometimes you are going to hit a wall.

A great driver knows that the slide is not the problem. The problem is their focus, where do they look?

If they focus on the wall, that's where they will drive! Also if they focus on the exit of the curve, that's where they will naturally arrive.

As you can see the problem is not the slide in the curve, its where you are focused – the wall or the exit. A positive or a negative future.

In this recession, a lot of people are going to join our industry with real financial challenges. Problems that will have dominated every waking [and sleeping] moment of their life. And you have the joy of offering them a solution to their situation. One that can transform their life. The challenge for you is to keep their focus on the positive result.

You have to help them in 'the slide'. To give them confidence that no matter how bad the slide, if they focus on building their business, they will emerge victorious!

I hope this metaphor helps you be a better leader.

Carpe Diem – Seize today!
