2016-02-18 The Keys of Creation- Dave Wood

Practicality dictates that everyone's results will vary, as we are all unique and different. Basically, it takes hard work to make a substantial income in this business, and some people will make no money at all. The earnings of an Empower Network affiliate will be 100% dependent upon their skills, work effort, commitment, leadership capabilities, and market conditions. Common sense would suggest that in most opportunities, one would find exceptional individuals performing well above average, while others perform under the average. Empower Network does not guarantee any level of income or your success.

To see our full income disclosure, please visit our website at www.EmpowerNetwork.com So let me talk to you guys for a minute about just decisions and where we're going and what you can do here. What I really want to do more than anything is I want to wake up the power in you to do amazing things. I want to wake up your power to do great things, and the thing is that I want you to understand that in this kind of a business, this is what you have to do. Number one, you need a real vision if you want to succeed. And I'm not talking about like, I'm going to get in this thing and try it out and see if it works and make a few hundred dollars.

If you really want to do it, like if you talk to Chris, for example, he'll tear up just talking about where he's going because it matters to him so much. There's that old saying that says if your why doesn't make you cry, it's not real enough. You've got to have something that's bigger than you that you're fighting for in your business if you really, really want to do something amazing. I'm not talking about making a few grand a month. You can make a few grand a month here just by focusing and being all in and being in the group that they have, and I want you to do what's right for you.

And so here's what I'm going to do is I'm not talking to everybody on this webinar. If you're somebody that you know it's not your time, I'm not talking to you. If you're somebody that you're here to just learn and observe and you're going to do it later, I'm not talking to you. You can listen, but I'm not talking to you specifically. We love you too.

I'm not talking to people that are really just, they just want to hang out. You're here to kind of do business, but not really. You're not really serious to take action. It's okay, I love you. I'm talking to people who are ready and who are wanting and desiring to do things that they've never done ever before in the past.

I'm talking to people who are here because you know this is what you're supposed to do. Maybe you don't know why this is what you're supposed to do yet. Maybe you don't know why you feel like that yet, but you know that this is what you're supposed to do. You were attracted to the team, Justin, Mike, Paul Hutchings, and the reason you're attracted to them is because there's something about them where you know when you're with them, they're going to lead you down the right path. You're supposed to be a part of what they're doing in some capacity.

You're attracted to the company because you know this is what you're going to do. That's who I'm talking to, which is not everyone. That's the thing. It's not everyone. There's 150 people on here.

Maybe there's 50. Well, I like that. But here's what happens is even if there's 50, not everyone will do it. Not everyone. Even if there's 100, even if all 151 here are supposed to do this, not all of you will do it.

You know, there's that old saying that says the saddest thing is graveyards full of dreams that never lived because people didn't do what it takes when they had the chance. But if you're really not supposed to be here, we don't want to pressure you. We don't want to exert any force and say this is what you're supposed to do when it's not, you know. And there's some people on here like that, too. You're just kind of here because you want to learn, and that's okay, right?

Or maybe you're confused about it, and you don't know yet, and you're just kind of figuring it out. If that's you, this isn't for you. Go to our event. Stay in. Listen to inner circles.

Follow the steps. And make a real decision when you're at it. All right? That's perfectly okay. There's another group here, and this is who I'm talking to.

There's somebody on this webcast right now. And you've had this kind of nervousness inside, this fire. And it's not, like, irritating, but you're nervous because you really don't have the money. But you know this is what you're supposed to do. And there's another group of people on here who, you know, there's somebody here.

Maybe it's you. And you've just been feeling it inside the whole night saying, no matter what, I really need to be part of that group. But maybe you're stressed out. Maybe you don't have the funds. There's another group here that know you're supposed to do this.

You have the money to do it immediately, right now. You can log in and just go all in. You can call your credit card company, expand your limit. You can log into the back office. You can just do it.

And you know you're supposed to do it because you know this is what you're supposed to do. But you're questioning it and doubting yourself and fighting it because it's a big commitment and you've failed in the past. And so you're associating this with that failure, saying, I'm going to dip my toe in and try it out. And if it works, then I'm going to get committed. And that's not how it actually works.

I made a decision one time to build in power. It was while I was walking through the mountains, after struggling for a few months in 2011, just realizing that my team is not going to succeed the way that I was building it. And all of a sudden, I was like meditating, praying, thinking, how can I help my team really win? And really, how can I empower people to step into the vision that you want to create in your life? And that vision, when I speak and I say vision, it's like there's a light that lightens.

And there's like a fire that starts to burn. And you have an image that's come to your mind. You have ideas come to your mind. You see yourself doing something, whatever that thing is. Maybe for some of you, it's feeding kids.

Maybe for some of you, it's impacting people. Maybe some of you, you see yourself and you're standing on a big stage, wooded. There's a big light shining down on your face. You can feel the warmth of the lights. You're looking out, you're hearing thundering, applauding, people cheering.

And you listen in intently because you can't quite make it out. But when you listen and you decipher, cheering, it's people chanting your name. And you know that you're there because you made the right decision. And that decision was to do this. Why am I talking to you?

Because you're a special kind of a person. You're a special kind of a leader. You're a special creation of God. You have a special kind of divinity inside. It's the divinity of a visionary.

A creator. Justin's a creator. He's a unique human being. Not everybody's quite like that. When he speaks, he has this kind of creation energy he speaks with.

It's attractive, isn't it? It's radiant. When I speak, it's like your mind quiets down. And it feels peaceful when I'm speaking from the right space. And I don't always do that.

I'm not perfect. I'm not God. I'm not starting a religion or pretending I'm Jesus or something. But when I'm speaking from that space, that love, you just feel it. You know it.

Justin's a special kind of a human being. Mike is a special kind of a human being. Justin is unique. It's like he can see things. And there's some people on here who are also unique in that way.

Some of you are unique in different ways. But you all have something powerful inside that I desire to unlock. And I see it's like a lock on your heart. And you're putting a key in, but you're nervous to turn it. And you're saying, what's going to happen when I do?

That's the beautiful part is you don't know. It's a mystery. But if you open it, what you're really opening is you. What you're really opening is the creator that's inside of you. The creation artist.

The freedom artist. The hippie Jedi. You're opening up, realizing something that you're not waiting for. What you're actually waiting for has been there the whole time. And you've just been afraid to turn the key inside your heart.

But when you do, there's a light. It's like a fire that burns. And when the light burns, it consumes you. And you see things. You see things and maybe you reject it sometimes and say, oh, I'm fantasizing.

Maybe when you were a kid, you saw yourself doing amazing things. And your parents said, oh, don't dream. Maybe it wasn't your parents. Maybe it was a person at school. Maybe it was a teacher.

And they said, yeah, but you've got to come back to reality. But the world isn't like that. The world isn't like everything everybody calls reality. The world is very strange. I've seen very strange things over the years that I won't talk about, but you wouldn't believe them anyways.

But the reality is this. When you really unlock you, who you are, not just the you that's sitting here paying attention, listening. Not just the you that pulled out a credit card and made a snappy decision to buy something and you didn't even really know what it is when you got in, right? I know you didn't. And now you kind of know what it is and now you're ready.

I'm talking about the dimensional you. The you that extends past a bag of flesh sitting in a chair, standing in a room, listening. The you that extends past the brain cells, past the nerves running in your heart and your belly. You know, the human belly has as many brain cells as a cat. We actually think with our belly.

We get a gut instinct. Somebody says gut instinct and people think that's just a figment of speech, but it's not. The human belly, a grown human being, grown male and grown female, has as many brain cells in their stomach and their gut as a cat. The heart has even more. So you actually think with your belly, your heart, and mind.

That's why in some of the older cultures, Jewish culture, there's no difference between the heart and mind. They're the same. When they say your heart, they're saying your mind because your heart has a mind. It's part of your mind. And sometimes when you know you should do something inside your heart, it's because the part of you that feels and is connected to your unconscious, which is half of something that's not even you, something bigger, something greater, the calling that you have.

Like there's a light at the center of the universe and a river running through time. As it moves through your heart and your belly, it lights something up. And you feel it. Like a gloaming light inside. And you start to see into a new kind of future.

You start to know different things. You start to realize that you're not just a body. You're not just a mind. There's something powerful. There's something more.

You've always closed that off. Why? I don't know. I don't know why I did it for so long. Fear.

Relatives. Looking in your bank account and seeing what's there, not what's going to be there. That's a better way. Looking into your bank account and realizing that a few zeros will be added soon if you just do what you're supposed to do. Abundance comes from doing what you're supposed to do.

Doing what you know you should do. And I'm talking to the people specifically on this who know you're supposed to do this. Say that you're talking in riddles. And maybe I am. Maybe it's because what I really want you to do is to make your own decision.

And some of you will decide, I'm going to stick around for a while and try it out. That's okay. You won't succeed as long as you're doing that. But you will be involved in our community. And we'll love it.

You're just not going to succeed yet. Until you decide to stop trying and you decide that you're going to do it. You're going to do it. You say, I will do it now. That's when you succeed.

So I'm not talking about people. You're trying it out. I'm not talking to the people who, you know, you have to harm yourself in some way to get all in. And you really just need to be where you're at for now. And you know that.

So I'm not stressing you out because you're not supposed to do this right. I'm talking to the 50 who are. Who know. Whether you have money or not. Whether you have resources or not.

Whether you can do it right now. Whether you can do it next week. Whether you can do it by the end of the month. I'm talking to you. And you know who you are.

You know who you are. And you're like, why am I attracted to this? And you don't understand it. You don't understand why my words have the power to do it. Not yet.

But you will. I'm talking to you. When I got on the internet and I saw the video on YouTube of the guy that got me into my first business that I joined in 2009. I knew that it was going to work. I didn't know that it was going to work because I always felt like that.

I knew that it was going to work because I knew for some reason. For some reason I knew this is what I'm looking for. I hadn't always felt like that. I had always tried lots of things. But that time I knew.

I knew I was going to do it. And I created a plan that was not logical to obtain that outcome. It didn't make sense with the comp plan I was in. In Empower that would have made sense. It would have worked.

But in the company that I was in it made no sense. It wouldn't have worked to create an income that big. It happened anyway. And I knew it was going to. I knew I was going to move down to the beaches of Costa Rica which I lived in for a couple years and now I live in the mountains but still in Costa Rica.

I knew. And I knew I was going to do it in a few months. When the idea came into me you say, from where? I don't make these things. I don't know how anything works.

I'm just here receiving. Thank you. For you. Because Empower Network came to me for somebody on here. I see like a light in somebody's heart and it's like lighting up inside.

All of a sudden you're feeling something different and you're saying, what is this? Trust yourself. Take action. And do the things that you know you're supposed to do. And here's what I want you to do.

You know who you are and you know it because you feel it. You know it because it's like there's a voice inside of you that says, yes, this is what I'm supposed to do. And I want to know if that's you. Because when you identify that it's you, right? Now it's time to take action on what you know you're supposed to do.

So the rest of you who aren't those people and who didn't raise your hand and who, it's not you. It's fine. You can go. It doesn't matter. Whatever you choose to do.

I'm not going to sell you something that you're not ready for. And I'm not going to get you to make a decision that you don't want to make. Because that's your life. Your vision. Right?

What you want to do. So all of you who did raise your hand and you said, yes, it's me. But maybe even some of you who wanted to raise your hands and you're nervous. What do you do? Well, let me tell you what to do and then let me tell you where it fits into what we're talking about now.

What you do is simple. You make a decision that, yes, I will do whatever it takes to do it. One. Number two, you never change that decision. Okay?

Never change it. Make it once. You say, well, why not ever change it? Because if you ever change it, you never made the decision. So once you decide to do it, you don't change your mind about it.

You just do it. And that is a powerful way to be. Because all of a sudden, when most people would be questioning themselves and they quit, you just decide to irrationally continue. And you persevere through the storm. And if there's one gift I've got, it's the way I've persevered through the storms of the years.

They've come and they've beat my house down, picked my car up and thrown it in a ditch. They've reigned obstacles. And I've stood there, allowing the winds and the rain to strike against my face, and I've walked into the chaos and said, I will be like the center of the storm. No matter what's happening around me, I'm staying here. Strong, calm, focused.

No matter what's going on. And because I persevere, I accomplish amazing things. So you make a decision one time, and then all of the things that you have to do are not decisions, but commitments. That's why we call them the eight commitments. The eight core commitments.

These are not decisions. These are commitments for people who have made the decision. It's different. If you make a decision that this is going to do now, going all in is just a part of that. And you do it as quickly as you can.

As a part of your process. As a part of your decision. As a part of your commitment. It's just part of it. And you do it as quickly as you can.

as you can. Some of you, that's right now. You want to log in, click the links, buy the products, and go all in right now, before you decide that you're like so many people in the world. There's so many people that aren't like that. It's not because they can't be, it's because they don't know that's how they're supposed to be.

Like a child. Tell a child no, and what do they do? They just continue to persist. And they'll be like that for a long time until life beats them down a little. And then they learn, no is no.

But is it? Not for me. I'm like a child. I will accomplish my vision. Whether you're involved, whether you're not involved.

Period. So you're going to go all in because you've already made the decision that you are going to do it. Period. Right? I want to tell you something, that you're special.

You're special because there is an amazing amount of blessings that flow from the universe through those people that act when God puts something in front of them. It's not because they're better than other people. It's not because God wants to say, here, this person should have more. It's because all of a sudden there's someone who listens. All of a sudden there's someone who takes action when they know they should take action.

So more action is given to them to take. All of a sudden there's someone, and then the universe smiles and stares at them and says, see, creation is great because of this person. Because of you. Because you are the purpose of the world. The world beats us down.

Society beats us down. News beats us down. If we allow it. But when you realize who you really are, you realize you're not better or worse than anyone else. It's like there's vision flowing through time.

And we're all just standing in it. Drinking it. Watering the forest with it. Creating wealth with it. Like a river of wealth running through time, made from the gold of the universe.

That's what you are. You're beautiful. You're amazing. You can create things you can't imagine. You can light up on the inside in a new kind of way.

You can make a decision once. One time. And you never need to even think about changing it because you've already made it. And then you just follow through and say, I am taking the actions the universe is placing in front of me. Because what happens is this.

When you decide to be irrational, you say, I'm getting all in. And somebody says, do you have money? And you're like, not yet. You're irrational. That's the kind of leader that I like to work with.

Somebody's got lots of money and they get all in. That's cool too. They're making a decision too. And I'm talking to you as well if that's the decision you make. But you know who I'm really talking to?

I'm talking to the people that make irrational decisions and follow through on them and make them happen. And the irrational becomes real because of you. You're special. You always have been. You've always been a round peg in a square hole of society, a system that's there keeping people trapped in a hamster wheel.

And you always stood to the side and looked at the people running on the hamster wheel and said, I think they're crazy. Who's right, you or them? You've always known that you're different. Not that their being in the hamster wheel is bad, but that you're not supposed to be there in the trap. That you are like Neo.

The leaders here, maybe, are like Morpheus, staring into your eyes, saying, which pill would you like to take? And then all of a sudden, a new world opens up. A doorway presents itself in time. And you put your hand forth and you open it. You turn the handle, excited like a child staring at the Christmas presents underneath the tree.

When your parents go to bed, you go and you listen and you shake them, hoping you don't break your new radio. Turning the handle, opening it, and there's a light shining on the other side. You realize, all of a sudden, a doorway has been opened in time. And you step through. The blessing reigns.

Prosperity coming from the universe. Realizing it's always been there. Because the greatest creation of all time, in all the generations, through all the species in the world, is you. You are the greatest. You are the purpose of it all.

You are the work. You are the vision. You are the love. You are the creator. And all of a sudden, you realize that stepping through the door, you actually didn't need to.

Because on the other side, you're standing there, stretching out your hand. But it's a more strong, more powerful you. Made of light, standing there, like a being traced in the universe, made of lightning. And you reach out and grab the hand and realize you're touching your own hand. Because you've always had what it takes to succeed.

But your higher self, connected with God, made up a doorway to put in your way. And you clicked a button, pulled out a credit card, and joined in power network. And you're here. And you step through a little doorway, and you've climbed up the stairs. And now you're standing there with a key, and there's a big wooden door with a chained lock keeping the door shut.

As you're sticking the key in the lock, opening it, heart pounding like a child, realizing the lock that you're turning is actually not on the door. The lock that you're turning is actually only there from fear. And it's not actually on the door. All of a sudden, you realize that you are the door, and you're seeing yourself putting your key into your own heart, unlocking who you really are. And when you step through yourself, you step into a room made from the wealth of the universe.

And you say, what's in there? Wondering like a child. Anything you want is what's there. But are you willing to turn that key, and to never look back, and to step through? Because maybe before you get there, you open it, and your heart's pounding, and you see a mist of darkness.

And you don't know what's on the other side. You've just had somebody tell you. But you have to step through and trust and say, I will do what I feel I know I need to do, no matter what happens. And you walk through the mist of darkness. On the other side, there's a tree.

Fruit shining like a light. And you take it, warm. The flesh is soft. And you take a bite. And you realize the sweetest fruit, the biggest joy, the love you've always sought, has always been right there.

But you're not looking at a tree. All of a sudden, you realize. You've got your hand reached out, and you're looking at yourself. Touching yourself on the heart. Because the most beautiful fruit, the greatest thing in all the universe, is right here, watching this webinar.

That's how important you are to me. I love you. I want you to make the decision that's right for you. Now, who's getting all in toward the end of the month? Justin, put the hands down, raise your hands, and I want to congratulate you.

And then we'll let you go.
