On My Journey To Success I Had To Figure Out, "How Do You Do That?"

Be notified of new articles, videos, course reviews and more...

In my mid 20's I was on a mission to create success in my life. I knew there had to be more to life than doing the typical 9 to 5. At this point I was married and had a son who was born 6 weeks premature which forced us to move from our home town to Spokane, WA which is more of a medical community. 

Bluntly, I wanted to be as much a part of my sons life as possible and didn't want to be away from my family 9 hours a day.

I read so many books on success, all of which offered a lot of great information and instructions on what to do. The problem is, they'd tell you what to do but not how to do it. There lies the problem!

I've always been an over-thinker and a deep thinker.

Fear is one of the top reasons why people fail... fear of the phone to make calls, fear of failure, fear even of success, fear of rejection, etc.

I wasn't immune to fear which became the first obstacle I had to overcome.

Fear Is The #1 Thing Stopping People From Creating Their Dream Life

Like the majority of people who want to create a better life for themselves, I had fears which held me back. There were things outside of my comfort zone which I was scared to do. Remember, I'm young, barely an adult trying figure life out and the things that needed to be done made me very anxious, even fearful. 

I did many Bible studies to help me live a better life and to overcome things holding me back or affecting my life. I also read many books on success. I was determined to succeed and create a great life.

One of the biggest Bible studies I did was on fear because it stops people from creating their best life. Here are some scriptures about fear...

• Isa 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (NIV)
• 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (KJV)
• Rom 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." (NIV)
• Ps 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid? (NIV)
• Ps 56:3 When I am afraid, I will trust in you. 4 In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? (NIV)
• Matt 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (NIV)

Fear is one of the top things holding people back from creating an amazing life. I was not going to allow fear to stop me from creating the life God intended for me.

But the Bible can be confusing, and even hard at times to put into action. As a young adult trying to figure things out, I found it hard to not be afraid just because it said to "not to fear" in the Bible... How do you do that?

Many times I thought maybe my faith wasn't strong enough questioning my faith when I couldn't shake the fears. I knew God gave us all of the answers, but I couldn't find the answer to this one.

As an adult I learned that every great book on creating success in our lives was based off the Bible so I started reading books on creating success in your life. It was book after book... Think And Grow Rich, How To Win Friends and Influence People, numerous Og Mandino books and many more. I have a heck of a book library.

Still things weren't clicking. What was I missing?

My Mission To Answering, "How Do You Do That?"

One thing I realized was all of the books I've read up to this point told you what to do, but they didn't tell you how to do it.

Book after book after reading important points in them I kept asking the same question, "How do you do that?" I prayed constantly for the answer to this question! I knew that until I figured this one thing out I would never achieve the level of success I desired in life.

You see, I wasn't born with charisma. I wasn't a born salesman. Everything I did in my life was a challenge, a struggle. I had to work for it. I had to study hard to learn how to do key things. Nothing came easy to me. Maybe you can relate.

But one thing I never did was I never gave up!

This is a big difference between me and many others... I never gave up. I may have had to study harder, spend more time learning and then constantly testing/applying what I learned and then tweaking things until I got it right and it may have taken me longer to achieve the results I was after, but I never gave up.

Because everything I did was hard for me and I had to learn how to do things, I also became a great teacher to teach others how to achieve greatness in life. Unlike the high majority of people who only tell you "what to do" I'm able to follow that with "how to do it" which is the real key to learning the skill and is the same thing I was constantly trying to figure out.

I Learned "How To Do That" In A Book...

My prayers were answered. I did finally learn "how to do that".

The answer came in a book called, "Unlimited Power" by Anthony (Tony) Robbins.

This book, "Unlimited Power", is like a text book. It's a "how-to" book to taking back control of your life. It teaches you how to use the mind/brain God gave us.

This not a book to read for entertainment value, it's a book written more like a text book to teach you how to use and harness the power in the brain God gave us. It's exactly what I needed. It was a prayer answered.

I literally dissected this book. My book has highlights and things underlined throughout it. I also took all kinds of notes.

To give you an idea of what was covered in this massive book, here's the index for the book Unlimited Power...

Then Tony came out with a training course based off this book and I was beyond ecstatic! It was called Personal Power.

This course was so impactful in my life, I've purchased it three times... first time was on cassettes, then when they came out with it on CD's I bought it again, and then when Tony updated the course to Personal Power II I bought it again.

They've since rebranded it to just "Personal Power".

Here's an outline of what is taught in Personal Power II: (Click the header to open it up to see what you'll learn)

For your information, I almost always see Personal Power II on Ebay for great prices. I'm telling you, if you really want to create an amazing life you should get this course and study it, do the lessons and apply it to your life.

This is a 30 day program where you do one lesson a day for 30 days. After each lesson you have an assignment to help you maximize what you just learned and to apply it to your own life. Those assignments are key because they really make you think and dig into who you are as a person and what makes you you.

What you will find is your first time through this course you'll fix the top level issues. You'll want to go through this course multiple times over the next 5 years because as you're going to find your issues go many levels deep and each time you go through this course you clean out another level.

To get a better picture of how your brain is being programmed and the things that are influencing you and creating your beliefs, go to this article of ours: "A Success-Driven Mental Attitude – The True Key To Success". This article will help you understand how you've been programmed your whole life and the things which have had the biggest impact on you.

Next to the Bible, nothing has made more of an impact in my life and my learning how to make the changes I needed to make in my life than Tony Robbins Unlimited Power book and his course.

I finally learned how to use the brain God gave me to overcome the fears that held me back. Along with this I learned about our "belief system" and how to rid myself of disempowering beliefs and how to create empowering beliefs, about our "values" and the important role they play in our life to include how to create positive values, and so much more. This is when my life really changed and my income massively grew.

Tony Robbins is who taught me how to use what God gave us.

When my son was in high school I gave him a copy of the 30 day Personal Power II course to creating success in your life. He says this was the best thing I've ever done for him because it gave him the knowledge and understanding of why people fail and how to create success in your life. He's extremely grateful for being introduced to this program.

As he also found out, success is 99% attitude (your frame of mind) and 1% skill. If you don't believe you can achieve success you won't even try.

His journey to success started early with him following a very logical pathway to great success of which he just ended the first core step to it by closing down his offline business. He made a nice 6-digit income the past 7 years, saved like crazy, invested wisely and planned out his next maneuver in life.

After 35 Years Of Studying Personal Development I've Only Ran Across One Person Who Not Only Teaches You What To Do, But HOW TO DO IT!

As far as I'm concerned, Tony Robbins was a godsend. He was a prayer answered. God gave us an incredible mind but like a computer we have to program it properly and clean out all of the viruses and malware we accumulate in our minds as we journey through life.

Tony is the only person I've ran across who teaches us how to clean our minds of the negative, disempowering things which block our ability to create greatness in our lives.

Your life is your life to do as you please. You have one life to live so make it your best life. Don't settle for mediocrity or living a life of just getting by. Life is a beautiful thing and great relationships make it that much better so take the time to learn how to have great relationships and create a successful life.

Here's the link to Tony Robbins book "Unlimited Power" and his course "Personal Power".

Create your best life, and just know that there are a lot of things influencing you and controlling your beliefs which will greatly affect the life you're living. You can learn more about this at this article: "A Success-Driven Mental Attitude – The True Key To Success". 

So often in life it's what you don't know which will stop you from creating the life you desire. Never stop learning!
