Most of us all desire to become good or great in at least one area of our life. Some people may desire to become great in many areas of their lives. Regardless of your natural skill level or your inherent ability to perform in your gifted field. Practicing gives you the confidence, mental clarity, and edge to make yourself victorious. It’s all mental! Practicing means Pre-Action, it’s the preparation of taking action, by taking action.

It’s your preparation before it’s time to take action that gives you the advantage. Pre-Action allows you to rehearse your steps, time your moves and fine tune your presentations. Sure you can try and wing it, but you are not giving yourself the best opportunity to be as successful. Confidence comes by doing. With whatever you are pursing become familiar with it’s process, by doing it over and over again.

Get the Kinks out!

Through repetition (practicing) and by applying concentrated energy you will get all of your kinks out! An iron works the same way! Concentrated heat applied to garments gets the wrinkles out. Whatever your profession spend some time and work on your craft, and sharpen your skills. Does a play get to Broadway without first practicing and rehearsing? Is an effective speech ever made without the speaker first knowing the highs and lows of their conversation with the audience? Practice to become great, you can’t wing greatness!

Most people do not like to spend time practicing because they view it as “non compensated work”. That type of thought process will never render you, your best results. With any person that has accomplished a great deal, practicing has been their little kept secret! Any great speech, play, movie, and song, has first been prepared and practiced before delivered and heart felt by the masses. Once your pre-action is down packed, the rest is a walk in the park.

Action: Pre-Act before your big debut!

Trends and fads can be very lucrative to anyone looking to make money, especially if you get in front of them before the masses catch on. Yet so many people miss the opportunities to capitalize, and once missed people often find themselves at the starting point looking for the next “great opportunity” all over again. Usually the time to buy into that good company with a great product, is way before CNBC reports it!

The whole world is in search of the next big trend. People are constantly following the wagon, instead of driving their own. Build your confidence and become the next sought after trend everyone including yourself is in search of! Become the commodity, new invention, hot stock pick, and huge payday, you greatly desire.

When you hear of the success of another person, it’s not a green light for you to follow them and abandon your ship. What are your visions? Your visions aren’t for anyone else, just as someone’s vision is not for you. Just because you know of someone who is having a lot of success in a particular field it doesn’t mean you will perform the same. We all love the idea of working a business with other people sharing in the same vision, but it rarely happens that way. People rarely pioneer, yet love to follow. You have to look inside, belief in yourself, then people will follow you.

If I have friends that are very successful in real estate does that mean the same will happen for me? It could be a great indicator that I will get some insight on how to get things done, yet it doesn’t mean I will perform the same as my peers. Everything is not meant for you! You weren’t made to become the second person to reach the top of Mt.Everest, you were made the to be the first person who __________________ (fill in your blank). Even if the closest people to you don’t support your vision, forget them. Look inside, build your confidence, and set off on your journey.

Everything worth having is worth working for! The journey to success starts with one step at a time. There will be a lot of endless nights and stressful days. Hunger pains and headaches. Days of doubt and nights of frustration. But continue to push forward until you get a breakthrough. The road isn’t easier, yet its much more fulfilling!

Action: Stay away from get rich quick ideas. Your big break is within you!

How many times have you heard someone complain about past mistakes or drag their face from missed opportunities? Closed doors can be opened! Opportunities are produced thousands by the second! Those who give up on the “process” and make a detour from the “achievement” end up in the crowded room of “losers”.

You were told as a child to get back up once you’ve fallen on the floor. Try, Try, try again!

Get back out there you have a trophy to win… There is no champagne for second place, so just showing up, and a “as long as I tried” attitude is not ACCEPTABLE. You weren’t given life, just to exist! . You’re here for a purpose! To do something and be someone. Life wasn’t designed for you to hit a home run your first time at bat! For a small few, it may happen, yet for most of us we must practice and fail before our home run hit.

There is always another opportunity for you to take the grand prize home. Demand more from yourself! Today you have been gifted with yet another opportunity to write your name in the beautiful blue skies, don’t squander it by reliving yesterday’s failures!

Action: Get back up!
