It's extremely valuable when you're able to see the big picture, having risen far above the mundane details. Yet it is just as important to know and understand the nature of those details. And for that, there is nothing that can replace actual hands-on experience. Most endeavors benefit from a competent manager, and managers become competent through intimate familiarity with what they're managing. How can you direct someone to tend your garden if you're not regularly digging in the dirt yourself? How can you develop a successful customer service strategy if you're not regularly dealing with customer issues yourself? If you consider yourself to be above the details, then those details will very likely bring you down at some point. Certainly delegate when you can, but be sure you know what you're delegating. Modern life is complex, and no one can be expected to understand all of the intricate complexities. Yet by the same token, it is essential to grasp the fundamental details upon which your world depends. Be willing to get your hands dirty with the details of life. And you'll be well equipped to make the big picture even brighter. Jim Gras 800-897-6458 Mentor.Trainer It seems obvious and yet it's a powerful truth!

It seems obvious and yet it's a powerful truth that's all too often overlooked. To stay focused you need something on which to focus -- something specific, something clear and well defined. Are you having trouble staying focused? Then perhaps you need to more clearly define the object of your focus. As an example, let's say you're attempting to focus on making more money. The vague goal of "making more money" is not clear enough nor definitive enough. Exactly how much more money do you intend to earn? Precisely how do you intend to earn it? What will you do with it when you get it, and why is that important to you? Questions such as these will provide you with a clear and specific object on which to focus. Focus is impossible without a focal point. Just the act itself of clearly and specifically defining that focal point will serve to lock your mind and your energy into focus. And when the object of your focus is well defined, you can quickly get back on track if your focus should happen to stray. Know, understand, and appreciate precisely where you desire to be focused. The more clearly you can define the object of your focus, the more intently and effectively you can focus upon it. Decide exactly what you intend to do, and almost as if by magic you'll find yourself actually getting it done. Jim Gras 800-897-6458 Mentor.Trainer A Few Minutes

There are good and valuable things you know you could be doing but you're not. There is a way of life you know you could be experiencing but you're not. This moment, as you read these words, is your opportunity to change all that. As you consider how truly special and precious your life is, this moment is when you can begin to fulfill your most treasured and valuable possibilities. Set aside just fifteen minutes and then spend that fifteen minutes getting started on whatever you've been putting off. It's easy to find just fifteen minutes, especially when you'll be using it for something positive, productive and fulfilling. Set a small, easily obtainable fifteen-minute goal, and then make the effort necessary to reach it. Then when you've reached it, delight in the feeling of accomplishment, delight in knowing that you're actually moving forward with something you've been meaning to do for a long time. After that, find another fifteen minutes and continue the process. Get yourself addicted to accomplishment and to the fulfillment which comes from moving steadily toward those things you truly value. Today is a perfect day to start living life on purpose, with purpose and with passion. Give just fifteen minutes to the best of your possibilities and let it be the start of something great. Jim Gras Mentor.Trainer 800-897-6458 MIM Online Magazine A Powerful Revolution Is About To take place

A Powerful Revolution Is About To take place Most people have absolutely no clue about the unstoppable force that is already on the way… There’s a massive revolution about to occur all across the world and those that truly understand it can get rich. In fact, this revolution has already begun, but in the next several years it’s going to change everything online. But those that ignore this revolution, or fail to understand it, will become merely a fraction of the success they could have become – or quite possibly go out of business altogether. Beyond the next 5 years, Internet Marketing will experience exponential chaos. Businesses marketing online will experience massive rates of failure. It will become nothing short of financial devastation for many. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, 95% of small businesses fail within the first 5 years. (i.e. 95 out of 100 fail – so only 5 actually survive.) In the not-so-distant future, because of the revolution already in motion, this figure will become more like 99% will fail within the first 5 years. The success rate will only be about 1 out of 100… and it will get worse as each year passes. Why? It’s rather simple actually.

Over the past decade, tens of millions of success-seeking Network Marketing distributors have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on Network Marketing “how-to” training books, tapes and magazines in an attempt to learn the “Secret” to Network Marketing financial success. They devour the information They memorize the entire book of wonderful Network Marketing clichés They revel in all the tantalizing “rags to riches” stories They do everything the books and tapes tell them to do And yet the sad truth is that less than 5% of them will ever build a large downline and consistently earn $7,500.00 or more in monthly income ($90,000.00+ per year) The question is: WHY is it that over 95% of all Network Marketing distributors fail in their attempt to achieve financial success in Network Marketing? The overwhelming majority of them fail because they recruited the wrong people and they apply the wrong strategies and tactics The Time-Proven Strategy of Network Marketing’s Top Earners The whole process of building a large Network Marketing downline and making $10,000 or more a month seems so easy to accomplish. And in theory it is. But unfortunately, the Network Marketing industry is overflowing with illogical theories and silly strategies that have proven themselves to be absolutely worthless. There is however, a single time-proven strategy that has repeatedly earned savvy distributors exceptionally large five-figure monthly incomes … incomes in excess of $10,000+ per month. It is simple and logical strategy of recruiting Network Marketing distributors into your downline. This strategy of recruiting Network Marketing distributors into your downline is so logical, so powerful, so effective, and so consistently proven, that it is the primary reason why virtually ALL brand new Network Marketing companies begin the downline-building process by recruiting some Heavy Hitters, because those Heavy Hitters more often than not, quickly build large downlines! And the strategy they use time and time again to build their downlines quickly, is recruiting experienced Network Marketing distributors. Rarely – if ever – do the Heavy Hitters quickly build large downlines and achieve Network Marketing financial success by requiting their “warm market” (family and friends) and/or “opportunity seekers” They do it by recruiting experienced distributors ! And if you copy their strategy, you can too! Jim Gras Mentor.Trainer 800-897-6458 Regret

Regret would be a wonderful thing if it came earlier. If you could feel the bitter sting of regret before making the choices that would cause that regret, you'd be powerfully persuaded to make better choices. The biggest regrets usually result from missed opportunities. Feeling those particular regrets early would encourage you to make the most of your possibilities. Yet in the real world, regret is experienced only after it's too late to avoid. Even so, there is something you can do to make regret a positive and powerful influence in your life. You can use your mind to imagine regret in advance. By doing so, you can benefit from regret's lessons without suffering from its pain. Before taking action, or before passing up an opportunity, travel in your mind into the future. Find the choice that would cause no regret, and then make that choice. By imagining your regrets far enough in advance, you can avoid them completely. And that's a strategy you'll never regret. Until next time, Jim Gras 800-897-6458 Create the Sense of Urgency

Most things that end up being urgent didn't start out that way. Most urgent matters, had they been addressed when they first came up, would not have to be rushed. Putting off a difficult task until later only makes it more difficult. To truly make your life easier, go ahead and take care of the hard stuff as early as you can. When you put off something that needs to be done, you don't get rid of it. You merely make it more burdensome than it otherwise would have been. Each time you procrastinate you deny yourself the opportunity to get the work done calmly and carefully, at a comfortable pace. Instead, you push the work to a time and place where it must be hurried. That ends up creating needless anxiety and reducing your effectiveness. The far better choice is to go ahead and get it done before the need for urgency sets in. What could you take care of today that would prevent you from having to deal with an urgent matter later? Go ahead, get it done, and bring more peace and positive purpose to your life. Until next time, Jim Gras 800-897-6458 MIM OnLine Feature Live Call!

If you run from the difficult challenges, they will pursue you unrelentingly. Yet when you turn to face them with resolve and commitment, not only will you get through them, you'll become stronger as a result. The challenges can indeed be disparaging and demoralizing, until you consider where you'll be when you get past them. Look to the other side and see the positive possibilities. There's no sense in looking back or wishing for the difficulties to go away. They're here and it's time to deal with them. You can do it. The ability to adapt to changing conditions and to prosper no matter what comes your way -- that's part of the very definition of life. You are gloriously alive, so act like it! The difficulties you face can be an excuse to give up, or they can be a reason to reach even higher, to become even better, to live even more fully. Rise to the challenge. It's your nature. It's your best choice. It's your destiny, waiting for you to give it life.

Regardless of how far behind you may be, you always can choose to move forward. Though people and events and circumstances may conspire against you, you can decide to move ahead anyway. Success depends on your direction, not on your position. No matter where you may be, it is always within your reach, and you can always begin to work for your own special success. It's perfectly okay to be where you are. Because from where you are, you can move steadily to wherever you desire to be. Sure, it's probably not the ideal situation, and yet it is a starting point. It's the starting point you have, and one from which you most certainly can move forward. It will happen because you decide to make it happen. It will happen because you'll do what's necessary to make it happen. This day, this place, this situation is your starting point. Now is your moment to reach as high as you care to reach. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it. Decide for yourself and start moving yourself positively there.

Though in some ways it might be nice to know with absolute certainty what will happen tomorrow, in many ways it is good not to know. For uncertainty compels us to develop courage, creativity, flexibility, commitment and initiative. If we knew in advance exactly how our lives would unfold, it would surely drain all the joy from the experience. The strengths and qualities we develop, and the experiences we gain as a result of uncertainty bring a richness to life that cannot be equaled. Though there are many uncertainties in life, there are also things of which you can be certain, things such as your family, your faith, your truest friends, your highest values. And those certainties indeed become strengthened to the degree that everything else is so uncertain. Though it can be frightening, uncomfortable, and even painful, the uncertainty in this world and in this life is also a blessing. It makes anything possible, and it gives even more meaning to those things of which you can be certain, those things which matter most.

Most of the things which seem to be impossible are not really impossible. As soon as you're able to look at those seemingly impossible things from a higher level of awareness, they suddenly become very possible indeed. Impossible is a concept which exists in your mind. And by expanding your thinking you can make possible those things which were once impossible for you. History is filled with the achievement of things which were once considered absolutely impossible. In your own life, there are things you thought you'd never do, or see, or become, that now you take for granted. What was once impossible for you can indeed become a reality. The reality will begin with your acceptance that it is possible. Once you get to the place where you know it is possible, it has already started to happen. Let your mind and spirit go above and beyond what seems impossible. You'll find that it can be done, and indeed you'll find that you are doing it.

If the things you desire are only for yourself, then what you accomplish will be empty and unfulfilling. Desire turned inward is nothing but greed, and will bring you nothing worth having. The greediest people are not those who desire too much. The greediest people are those who desire too little, who desire only for their own narrow, limited concerns. The more outwardly your desires are focused, the more fulfilling will the fruits of those desires be. What you desire for the world beyond you, for all of life itself, will bring the most lasting, fulfilling rewards. The person who solves his own small problems will receive some real value from his efforts. Yet when that person can make the same innovation available to others, the value that can be created is virtually unlimited. Desire can be a powerful force, so be sure to point it in a positive direction. The more your desire is focused beyond your own concerns, the further it will take you and your world.

There is a world that you will soon come to know. There is a life that you will soon begin to live. There is a person whom you will one day become, and that day is fast approaching. Can you see it in your mind? Yes, you can see it even now. For the things you most consistently visualize today are what will define your reality tomorrow. Where your most sincere and abiding thoughts are now is where the rest of you will soon be. Whatever you can see most intensely in your mind's eye, you are already beginning to become. The choice you have is not whether to visualize, but what to visualize. For you are always visualizing something. So choose to see the best, in clear and rich detail. And let your most positive, brilliant vision guide you steadily there. Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

Often it will occur that one part of you desires something that another, more enlightened part of you knows is not right for you. When this happens, it is helpful to remember that neither of those conflicting urges defines you. The mere fact that you're able to see the conflict within yourself means that you are also able to rise above that conflict. The fact that you're able to perceive what you're thinking and feeling means that the real you is beyond those thoughts and feelings. When you are longingly tempted to overindulge, or to become angry or resentful or hurtful, and yet you know it is not right for you, remember that you can take a step back. Step back to a place where you can look objectively and lovingly at the conflict within you. Being in such a vantage point, you can let yourself fully experience the desire without allowing that desire to take control of you. You can let that desire out in the open where it harmlessly burns itself out, and then be done with it and free to follow the course you know is right. Inner conflict can be difficult to resolve when you're stuck in the middle of it. So step back to the real you that exists apart from that conflict, where you can settle it peacefully and effectively. Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

How many things do you worry about, that don't really matter at all? Imagine the positive energy boost if you could simply let them go. Most of the things that annoy you do so only because you have chosen to be annoyed. Think of how life would be if you spent less time annoyed and more time truly living. When something comes along that troubles you, ask yourself if it really matters. You'll discover that many things really don't. When something pops up to worry you, ask yourself if your worrying will make it better. Chances are, with most things, it won't. Most worries and annoyances are completely worthless, and only serve to bring you down. Is that really what you want? Practice diverting more of your time and energy to positive, useful, productive pursuits. Replace the worry and annoyance about things that don't matter with real, effective action for the things that do. Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

Who do you think you are? Are you the problems you encountered yesterday, or are you the positive possibilities that exist today? Are you the limitations that others have convinced you to adopt? Or are you the person who can work your way through whatever obstacles may confront you? Are you the shortcomings and disappointments you've known? Or are you the most magnificent, most treasured dreams you can imagine? Are you the empty, meaningless pursuits of the materialistic culture that surrounds you? Or are you the deeply held, lasting values you know to be truth? Who you think you are can make all the difference, in this moment, in your life. Because who you think you are is who you constantly work to more fully become. Who do you think you are? Choose right now to be the best you can imagine.

Imagine that problems are no longer a problem for you. Imagine that the frustrations no longer frustrate you. Imagine that you are no longer limited by the limitations. Imagine that the obstacles no longer are able to hold you back. Now consider this. Your life is the way it is not because of what comes your way, but because of how you respond to it all. If you can truly imagine that the problems are no problem, that is the way it will be. If you can sincerely imagine that the obstacles cannot hold you back, they won't. Do you respond to the difficulties by making them even worse? Or do you choose to imagine yourself beyond them? The moment you imagine, it changes nothing except you. And yet, that is more than enough to completely change your world. So Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

There is nothing that feels quite so good as knowing that you've made a positive difference. There is nothing that energizes you in quite the same way as a real and valuable accomplishment. Take a situation that was unpleasant, unhealthy, dangerous or destructive, then turn it around, and you know you've really made a difference. Take a goal, a dream, a passion, then bring it to life, and that effort will in turn bring you to life. The next few moments, the next few days, the next few years can be spent just getting by, just keeping up. Or they can be used to get things done, to make a positive difference, to reach real and meaningful accomplishment. When you fall into bed after a day of focused, positive effort, you carry with you a sense of satisfaction that cannot be duplicated. And you wake the next morning to a brighter world. When you have the choice between making the effort and sitting on the sidelines, choose to make the effort. When you find yourself dismayed at how things are, find a way to make them better.

Every situation is a lesson to be learned. From the most mundane chores to the most complex projects, life is always ready to teach you something. Life is ready to teach when you are willing to learn. And the more you learn from what life offers, the better life becomes. The lessons are usually not all that obvious. Yet they are there if you will think to take a look. The lessons are there in every moment, in every dilemma, in every frustration and every joy. They are there in every sadness, every victory, every discomfort and every pleasure. Each lesson you learn paves the way for a new and even more valuable one. Each lesson you ignore keeps coming back, again and again. One way or another, life will teach you its lessons. When you're a willing student, those lessons are pure gold. So Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader! Keywords: mentors in motion, mentor, mentor in motion, Jim Gras, Val Smyth, online training Small challenges become big problems

The big challenges get your attention. By virtue of their seriousness, they demand to be addressed. In fact, big serious challenges can be quite energizing and stimulating. They're often referred to as "wake- up calls." The smaller challenges, though, don't get as much respect or response. They're the ones we tend to let slide. The problem with that is that they accumulate. Those small challenges, never dealt with, can soon combine into a substantial burden. You keep piling stuff in the closet, just a little something every few days, and suddenly there's no space left. You keep putting off doing your expense report, day after day, and suddenly find that you have a whole quarter or year's worth to go through. The little challenges, though they're easy to forget about, can quickly add up and eventually hold you back in a big way. So make a point to deal with them as they come up, while they're still small and manageable. Not only will you become more disciplined and effective, you'll free yourself from their cumulative burden and be able to focus on the truly important things in your life. So Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader! Keywords: mentors in motion, mentor, mentor in motion, Jim Gras, Val Smyth, online training Value

When you attempt to get ahead at the expense of others, you'll be resisted every step of the way. Yet when you seek to get ahead by creating value for others, the world will happily push you forward. Rise above the crowd and then genuinely seek ways to bring the crowd along. It's a much more effective strategy than looking for ways to push everyone else down. There's only so much you can possibly take away from others, yet there is no limit to what you can create for yourself and the world around you. Those who win big can't do it by creating losers. In fact, those who win big do it by creating other winners. Those who win big do it not by fighting over what's already there, but by creating something that has never existed before. Losers look for ways to get away with stealing value from others. Winners know that the way to true abundance is to create as much value as possible for as many other people as possible. You can do it too, right now. It happens every day, and the whole world moves forward as a result. So do Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

Do what needs to be done. Say what needs to be said. Listen to the things you need to hear. Learn what you need to learn. Explain what you need to explain. Rather than constructing elaborate methods for avoiding these things, or elaborate excuses to evade them, just get them done. Instead of letting things slip and continue to weight you down, get them done and let your actions energize you. The avoidance of effort is just as difficult as effort itself yet avoidance accomplishes nothing positive. Success is not always easy, yet it is for the most part simple. The way to accomplishment is not hidden. It is in plain view. You can see what must be done. Stop fretting. Quit worrying. Don't complain. You know what you need to do.

Do you know what's going to happen tomorrow? Of course you cannot know for sure, yet with careful planning you'll have a much better idea. Do you ever find yourself wondering what to do next? With a good plan you'll spend less time wondering and more time doing. Have you ever made a trip to the store, forgotten to buy a certain item, and then had to go right back again? What if you lived 100 miles away from the nearest store? If that was the case, every time you traveled to the store you would carefully plan what to get, to avoid the need for an unnecessary trip. If you did forget something important, however, it would be possible to go back again. But it would be a lot of trouble, so you would learn to plan each trip very carefully. With that in mind, consider that you only have one chance to live each day. There's no way you can go back and live it again. So planning for it is even more important than planning a 200-mile round trip to the store. When you plan each day, and follow your plan, there's so much more you can get done. The time you spend planning will pay for itself many times over. Make a plan, follow it, and get the very most from each moment. Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

There is risk in any undertaking, and it is wise to minimize risk whenever possible. Yet to avoid risk completely is the greatest risk of all. When you move forward, there is always the possibility of defeat. Yet if you never move forward at all, then defeat is certain. There will always be plenty of excuses for standing still, for not taking action. But excuses offer no comfort or refuge when viewed in the unrelenting light of reality. What matters is what is done, what is undertaken and what is achieved. Courage is not the absence of fear. Those with the most courage also know the greatest fear. Courage is the determination to act in the face of fear, the ability to learn from fear, to be energized by fear, and to use that knowledge and that energy to move successfully through the fear. Action does not assure success, and yet directed, focused action is the only way to achieve success. We live and grow and prosper and find fulfillment because of the risks we have taken, because of the challenges we have accepted, because of the fears we have transcended. Life is a process of successfully dealing with uncertainty. Our bodies are designed for it, our minds are made for it, and our spirits are energized by the challenges of moving positively ahead, whatever the risks may be.

How is it possible to move confidently toward the future after experiencing a disappointing setback? By learning from that disappointment, and knowing that you can adjust your approach accordingly. If confidence resulted only from success, no one would ever have the confidence to reach success in the first place. In all confidence there is necessarily an element of faith. Certainly past successes can add to your confidence, but past disappointments do not have to erode that confidence. Because you have the wonderful ability to improve with each effort. You can make adjustments and apply the lessons you've learned through experience. Those valuable lessons are yours to use in a positive way no matter what has happened before. The powerful fact is that every experience can add to your confidence. The cheers and the sneers, the compliments and the complaints, the wins and the losses can all build confidence.

What are you doing when you're not thinking about what you're doing? You're busy fulfilling the most sincere expectations you have for yourself. That's why your expectations are so important. They take control during the times when you lose yourself in whatever you're doing, and thus they exert a powerful influence. When you truly expect something, it's like programming your mind to seek it out every chance it gets. Expectations have a way of becoming reality even in the moments when you're not aware that you're making them happen. Your genuine expectations of others work in a similar fashion. The expectations you have for someone else are communicated to that person in a way that can easily override whatever you do or say on a conscious level. Real, ingrained expectations go beyond intentions, beyond pronouncements, beyond the surface, to a level that is deep and undeniable. Whatever you truly expect to happen, is very likely going to happen. So expect the very best, of yourself and of others, with sincerity, conviction and persistence. Almost as if by magic, it will come to be. Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader! Keywords: mentors in motion, mentor, mentor in motion, Jim Gras, Val Smyth, online training Proper aim!

Take a look around you, right this moment, and you'll see the results of your past priorities. Whatever has been most important to you, whatever has been the focus of your time and commitment, has come to pass. If you're satisfied and fulfilled by where you are, you know what it took to get there and you can continue cheerfully along the same path. If you're not completely pleased with the results of your past priorities, the first thing to do is change those priorities. Every moment of every day you are committed to something. When enough of those moments are focused on a particular priority, on a particular possibility, that possibility will come to life. Look at the possibilities that you've already brought to reality as the result of your focus and commitment. Whether you like the results or not, the fact is that you've definitely achieved results. The question now is, what results would you like to achieve next? Aim your focus, aim your commitment, aim your priorities, aim the efforts of each moment in the direction of those results, and they will most certainly happen. With persistence, you will surely get where you intend to go. Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

When you've attempted something and failed to achieve it, then made another attempt and failed yet again, and then failed even one more time, it can indeed be overwhelmingly disheartening. It is at that point, however, where persistence can be truly golden. Because each disappointment you experience not only brings you more knowledge of what works and what doesn't, it also serves as a powerful reminder of why you truly desire to succeed. It would be a shame to waste all that motivation and knowledge. So keep going. Persist in what you know you must accomplish. Experience the power of your disappointment, direct it toward persistence, and you'll make it a force that will move you along. The time and effort you've invested have already begun to pay off, even though the results have so far been disappointing. You certainly don't want to walk away from that investment before you're able to reap its rewards. Persist. Keep up the effort for as long as it takes. You're making positive progress. You're moving in the direction of your goals. Use what you've learned, use what you've experienced. Adjust course a little if necessary. Keep on moving, regardless of what has happened before. With persistence, you will surely get where you intend to go. Why be a Follower, When YOU can become a Leader!

There is risk in any undertaking, and it is wise to minimize risk whenever possible. Yet to avoid risk completely is the greatest risk of all. When you move forward, there is always the possibility of defeat. Yet if you never move forward at all, then defeat is certain. There will always be plenty of excuses for standing still, for not taking action. But excuses offer no comfort or refuge when viewed in the unrelenting light of reality. What matters is what is done, what is undertaken and what is achieved. Courage is NOT the absence of fear. Those with the most courage also know the greatest fear. Courage is the determination to act in the face of fear, the ability to learn from fear, to be energized by fear, and to use that knowledge and that energy to move successfully through the fear.
