Robin J. Elliott: Joint Ventures with the Prophet of Profit, Training, Strategic Alliances

Many people are watching other Joint Venture Brokers succeed, watching from the bleachers, while they prepare to do the same. We buy into the success of others instead of creating our own success. You can only prepare so much; at some point, you have to go out and do it. Stop making your excuses your reasons to wait – it’s easier than you think, once you get started. A lot of people fear taking action. Michael Jordan said, “I succeed because I fail countless times.” Sure, you will fall off your bicycle a few times, but once you get riding, nothing will stop your Joint Venture success.

We don’t realize how big we’re not thinking, since we don’t see the massive wealth opportunities until we start taking action. Fear and faith can’t co-exist. When we stop making excuses, we start making money. Everyone is busy. Everyone has a life. You’re not the only person who has a lot of things going on. When you realize the tremendous wealth and freedom available through Joint Ventures, you will understand that you can have a corner office in your own home, and that while most people are cursing the traffic, you can be earning residual income while you walk around the lake or lie on the beach. I know – I just got back from the beach.

Making the breakthrough you so richly deserve is not hard once you accept that the key is persistence, tenacity and consistency. Trying times are the times we need to be trying, not quitting. Winners never even consider the option of defeat. Don’t settle for average. Your date with destiny has been set – all you have to do is keep the appointment. Being involved with the DollarMakers Joint Venture Forum and working with other Eagles makes it easier that working along.

It takes a simple decision to make your success inevitable. Decide that you will trade your fear for faith, your timidity for tenacity, and your analysis for action. Commit to unwavering focus and success. Treat your JV Brokerage like a mission, not a hobby. You will reap in direct proportion to what you sow.

DollarMakers reached the tipping point when we hit 500 Members. Now we’re facing a tsunami of growth as we expand into the United Kingdom and beyond. The DollarMakers Team is ready to work with you so that you can ride the wave with us. Get off the bleachers and come join the action on the field – the rewards are mind boggling!

“Don’t let the past remind you of what you are not now” sang

Don’t Let: That implies that you are in charge of your interpretation of your circumstances, your thoughts, and your choices. You are not an emotional cripple that is incapable of controlling your own mind and perceptions.

The Past: That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? If you had made millions of dollars in sales last year, would you feel the same way about your next Joint Venture deal or sales call? Stop allowing the past to contaminate your future. The future starts right now – you’re already living in it.

Remind You: Stop paying for past mistakes repeatedly. Get over it! Move on. You can’t drive looking in the rear view mirror. Focus on your goals.

Of What You Are Not Now: You are not the same person who messed up in the past. You’re not that shy nerd, that scared kid, that insecure character. You are what you believe you are. You are what you think. You are what you choose to be. Decide who you are NOW. The bad, sad past will sabotage you, nip at your ankles, distract, and lie to you, if you allow it to do so.

Take charge of your mind. Focus on your past wins and your past victories, instead of what didn’t work. List your successes. Enroll a few winners to help you make that list. So your kid didn’t call you for Fathers Day or your boss didn’t thank you for the overtime. That is not a reflection of your worth or who you are – it is a reflection of whom THEY are, and they don’t deserve you! Insist on a great self-image and build it with concentrated self-discipline, goal setting, and positive input.

Don’t let the past remind you of what you are not now – be a winner. Be a DollarMaker. Be a champion. Surround yourself with achievers.

We all have a limited amount of time, energy, and attention available. What do you spend those valuable, irreplaceable resources on? I received a call today and when I checked my call display, I had to check my attitude. The caller focuses most of his energy, time, and resources on what isn’t working perfectly, his problems, weaknesses, threats, and fears. His glass is always half empty and he perceives himself as a victim. He continually whines and makes mental pictures of circumstances he doesn’t want. By the time I put the phone down, I need a positive fix so I immediately call an optimistic, successful person who is in control of their minds and emotions.

If you simply adjusted the focus of your attention away from things you can’t change to things that you can affect, you will be amazed at what you can accomplish. Winners have a hard time accommodating whiners and losers. Before long, I know I will tell this caller that I only want to hear about what is working, what he feels good about, and what he is looking forward to. Instead of telling me about the “problem”, make a suggestion for the solution!

Instead of alienating strong people, attract them with a positive, “Can Do” attitude. Like an insect repellent, an affirmative outlook on life will ward off losers and looters. Instead of spending hours of your valuable time absorbed in bleak predictions of impending doom and failure, how about redirecting that power to proactively creating your ideal lifestyle? Nobody wants to be depressed by the time they put the phone down after talking with you. And they are unlikely to introduce you to their successful friends.

Whatever you focus on will grow. Remember that. Winners will help you and whiners will hurt you. Mix with Dollar Makers, not Dollar Takers and Dollar Fakers. Napoleon Hill taught us “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” The same applies to positive beliefs and expectations that apply to negative beliefs and expectations. Your mind will attract whatever it focuses on. If you had one bucket of water and two plants, the one you watered would grow. Your attention is the water.

Look at your friends, and you will see how positive you are, because like attracts like. Redirect your resources to solutions and success and get wealthy.

Rika and I decided to invest in a second home. We love the one we have but we want a second one. We were in the mall when we stopped to look at the advertisements for various homes in our area and the realtor made an appointment to meet with us to show us a home. To start with, he showed us a place that faced the wrong way. Then he had trouble working with his own calculator to show us the numbers. He asked what business I was in and interrupted my explanation. Then he gave us wrong information about the C.M.H.C. fee. At the end of that interview, where he had already blown himself out of the water, he insinuated that he didn’t want me to waste his time, and asked what guarantee he had that I would use his services exclusively! I let him know that would not happen. Finally, he was a week late in his follow-up! No apology, just a message to call him back. Unbelievable. LOSER.

The second realtor is someone whose professional, well designed advertising has been hitting our mailbox for years. We called him. We showed up for our meeting with him and he was early. Good sign, right there. Then he offered us Starbucks. Another good sign. His assistant was with him, and they made notes and handled the meeting very efficiently, no pressure, no nonsense. Today, he showed up – early again – and took us to see some homes that he had carefully selected according to our criteria. He was on time for every home, knowledgeable about every home, and conducted the tour with true professionalism and class. We felt relaxed and secure in the hands of a competent professional. At the end of the tour, he remained highly proficient. Oh, and he mentioned that he had downloaded my book. Smart move.

We’re off to Edmonton, Montreal, and California, but when we get back, we will find the right home and buy it. Two very near misses today. And there is no question in my mind that we will use the services of realtor Willi Isaak.

Both realtors had the very same opportunity, yet one will make money and one will not, and guess what? The loser will complain about buyers, prices, the economy and the weather, and blame the competition, while Willi will simply go on doing the right thing, helping people, and making money. The top of the ladder, my friend, is not crowded. “You can get anything you want out of life”, said Zig Ziglar, “if you’re prepared to help enough other people to get what they want.” Sow and reap. What goes around comes around. Now thousands of people will read this article about Willi Isaak  in our ezines and on my Blog.

(I’m sure the Internet search engines will have a field day with that title!)

Last night, someone won $35 million in the Lotto 6/49. Very jolly. Congratulations to her – she probably won against odds of being struck twice by lightning within three minutes, riding on the back of a donkey with green blinkers, but then for two bucks it’s a great deal. What is someone told you that you had already won the lotto, and that your winnings were buried in a secure box underground, and that it would take you one year of hard work, 9 hours a day, five days a week, to dig that thing out? How would you respond? One year of hard work to retire and make your dreams come true?

You HAVE won the lotto. You are capable of making your dreams come true. All the wealth in the world is available to you, but you won’t get it by risking two bucks. You have to dig it up. You have to learn how to find it and then you have to go and get it. And then, it’s a sure thing. I say that because you can harness the power of Joint Ventures. You have to know where to dig, learn how to dig, and then DIG. Dig = Work.

Now the “Loan” part. You’ve heard the old saying, “Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he’ll feed his family for the rest of his life.” I am very impressed with www.KIVA.org. Kiva lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the developing world. Microfinancing. Very good. How can you help millions of small business owners, entrepreneurs, and would-be entrepreneurs, without taking a blue cent out of your jeans or creating a large organization like Kiva? By distributing our e books on Joint Ventures at no charge to everyone who wants them. These books teach people how to make money with no cost or risk, regardless of their age, circumstances, education or background.

You can distribute my “Joint Adventures” book in Spanish, English, French and German, and soon in Chinese, worldwide through e-mail. Last time we looked, over 12,000 had been downloaded. FREE. It’s a lot more by now. And these are all genuine, paid for translations by experts, not some automated Internet translation. You can also distribute my latest book, “Life is a Joint Venture” – over 300 pages of power. No cost – all FREE. For more information on this opportunity, contact our DollarMakers Technical Director, Winston Bromley, at Winston@dollarMakers.com

Zig Ziglar said, “You can get anything you want out of life, if you’re prepared to help enough other people get what they want.” Ask Winston how giving away the English version of “Joint Adventures” can earn you real money!
