Still Not Getting The Results You Want?

Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.

There is someone reading this now, who says things like:

“I’m doing everything that you’ve been teaching, but am not getting the results that I want. I’ve followed all of the 8 core steps. I’ve been on all the trainings. I’ve been blogging.”

First of all…

…saying that is a normal thing until you reach a point in life, where you decide to take personal responsibility for creating your own results, and realize that the only guarantee that is provided in life, is what YOU DECIDE to create, and adamantly create regardless of what happens.

There are a couple of mistakes that I see people doing, that are responsible for creating a majority of failure – especially persistent failure. The opposite of these mistakes are responsible for creating the opposite result – which is the majority of success.

1. The lack of or presence of consistent outcome clarity. The reality is, it doesn’t matter how often we talk about this. Most people reading this post DO NOT have clear outcomes. If they did have clear outcomes ever, they have never focused on them for any consistent period of time. The solution? Get clear. Stay clear. Be consistent. You’ll automatically be in about 1% of adult human beings, and will be setting yourself up for an eventual top 1% income.

2. The lack of or presence of honestly following instructions. The truth is, that most people who say that they have been through all of the training, or all of the training with everything – haven’t even been through 15% of it. If they have, they’ve only been through it once. A majority of that time, they weren’t paying attention.

Out of the things they’ve paid attention to – they’ve ignored about 80% of the advice, and just don’t do it, at all. Even the people reading this who are LISTENING NOW to advice honestly… and getting results realize that they are not even doing half of what we’ve taught, most of the time.

3. The lack of or presence of flexibility in the presence of feedback. Feedback comes from the way the universe (I use that term to describe all possible feedback mechanisms that exist) responds to your actions. Most people don’t alter videos that don’t convert. Most people don’t alter how they tell stories if nobody thinks they are interesting.

Most people don’t pay attention to whether what they are doing is even working or not. Most people assume that ‘belief’ means blind faith. The two are different. Belief is flexible and keeps trying new things while aimed in a consistent direction – it’s the result, the direction, the outcome you believe in.

The methodology is allowed to change. Blind faith continues to do the same thing in the presence of feedback that is telling them to alter their behavior. The solution? You need to constantly allow feedback to slightly alter the way that you act and behave until you’re producing the results in that area that you want – in marketing, we call that testing.

4. The lack of or presence of being willing to do what it takes – regardless of what that means. The key there is ‘regardless of what that means’. Notice I didn’t say – being willing to do whatever it takes ‘except for the things I don’t like or want’.

See, most people, even those who ask for advice are not even actually asking for advice – they are asking for validation for what they are already doing.

The actual mistake…

…is not realizing that before you have financial resources to pick and choose what you are and aren’t going to do – there can’t be any choosing of what you will and won’t do – you have to be willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES. The only thing that should be excluded from whatever it takes are things that violate your personal values, morals, and beliefs.

A religious example would be someone who is a hard core Seventh Day Adventist not being willing to attend events or trainings from sunset on Friday, through sunset on Saturday – while I don’t share the belief, they do – to violate it would break their own internal values, and I would never ask them to do that. A personal example would be lying to sell something. You should never, ever be willing to violate your ethics and values – because anything you create in the presence of anything but truth and authenticity will not continue creating what you want.

5. The only other thing that is required is lack of or presence of sufficient energy input into your focused direction to create the result that you want. Energy input in business can come from different sources of power: Time is an energy input mechanism, as is money, and so are all of the resources available to you.

Insufficient energy dedicated to achieving your outcomes won’t produce your well formed outcome, regardless of how clear it is. This is a MAJOR mistake of a large majority of the population who learns the principles in the movie “The Secret”. They mistakenly believe that belief and a focused mind will produce something with no energy input. That is the same as trying to drive a car, full of gas – without ever deciding to light the ignition by turning the key (or hitting the button, on some new cars).

The solution?

You must be willing to dedicate ALL OF THE RESOURCES REQUIRED to accomplish the outcome. The only way you can know what resources are required, is being willing to do what it takes until you have accurate data from feedback, and know what you’re doing.

The great thing is, using energy and time as input mechanisms produce more money when you allow feedback from a focused outcome, and more money creates more input resources to more rapidly create your outcome, regardless of your time input.

After reading that, are you REALLY listening? Are you REALLY doing everything that it takes? Are you REALLY paying attention to the trainings?

Better question:

What aren’t you doing yet – that you’re now deciding to do?
