Imagine
Time and time again opportunities pass us by and we keep moving in the same way that we did last week or the week before.
People meet us at different points and offer us opportunities.
Things come in our way that sound pretty cool but we don’t do anything about it.
Or we sit in our comfort zone day after day and live a life of expected comfort.
I guess you can call it safe.
Safe is good but what’s the cost?
The cost can be immeasurable because massive success could be in the opportunity that has just passed us by because we chose safe.
Imagine if we had no fear of the unknown or the uncomfortable…… Imagine what we could achieve.
If we just went with that next opportunity that felt exciting rather than being restrained by fear.
Just imagine what life could be like.
The gateway to success is opportunity and the only way we will know what is waiting on the other side of the gate is to go there ourselves and see.
Growth happens when we allow ourselves to expand outside of our comfort zone.
The sphere of growth exists only when we step out of our comfort zone and can be found in no other place.
The possibilities are endless and even if it doesn’t work out for the moment, the experience is invaluable.
Imagine if we were willing to explore and go see what is out there.
Imagine what you could become.
Imagine who you could be.
It’s exciting just thinking about it and your life could be so much more amazing if you were willing to just go.
Go see what’s in store.
Go see what’s there.
Living a life that’s safe is good, but living a life with excitement and dare is exhilarating.
It doesn’t have to be big, it can be just small things that you wouldn’t usually do.
Go door knocking when it scares you to death.
Take a surf lesson even if you can hardly swim.
Go with that new job that feels great but you are scared to change.
The list could be endless and our life could be so much richer if we just go.
Go try it and see, you just might surprise yourself and experience a whole new dimension to your life.
Actually, you will experience a whole new dimension to your life that’s guaranteed because anytime you step out and go for it, it always ends up being worth it.
Life moves quick and the successful just move with it, trying new things and just going with their gut.
Always being open to explore is the key to finding the very best you.
The very best life is found outside of your comfort zone, always remember that.
If there is something that is in front of you that looks exciting, go with it and see what’s there because it is there for a reason.
To show you where success is if you dare.
Life is amazing and so are you and next time something exciting crosses your path, go with it and see what’s there.
Or today go and do something that you wouldn’t usually do and see how you feel.
It will excite you beyond these words can explain.
Go with it and go do it and see what your life becomes.
Greatness awaits….
Go grab it if you dare!!
What could you do today?

Have You Reviewed Your Vision Today?
You become what you think about most.
It is Law!
So stop for a minute and think about…… What are you giving most of your attention to?
Is it success?
Is it abundance?
Is it opportunity flowing freely to you?
Or is it the opposite.
See, everything that you are experiencing right now is a manifestation of your previous thoughts and actions.
Is life good for you?
Are you feeling amazing?
Do you feel on track?
If the answer is no, then change it.
But if you want to change it, it takes consistent attention.
To train your mind for success is like going to the gym.
You have to notice when you aren’t committed and re-commit.
For instance, do you know someone that has got a little out of shape and decided to get fit.
They get all enthused and sign up for a gym membership.
Then a few months later, they don’t even go anymore.
They are back to their old habits and have lost total focus.
That’s like training your mind for success, it’s a life long commitment to have a super fit mind.
It’s more than just action also.
If you don’t train your thoughts then the action will only take you so far.
Doing the actions and not combining them with the thoughts of success is like eating rubbish everyday, then going to the gym.
You will sort of just tread water.
Success starts with the story that you tell yourself.
Picking yourself up when your thoughts have gone off track and focusing on things that make you feel good.
When you take action from a good feeling place your success attraction point is magnified!!
When you feel great, you attract great things.
That’s basically it.
The better you think, the better you feel and the better you feel the more good stuff will come your way 
Life can be as successful as you make it and the way to see how you are doing so far is to take a look around you.
What you are living right now is a direct reflection of your previous thoughts and feelings.
To achieve success you must first feel successful.
It’s about finding the emotion of success before it will come to you.
Your life can be exactly as you want it to be, it’s just a matter of thinking and feeling that way first.
Then it will start moving towards you and the more you stay on that emotional path of success, the quicker it will come.
Just don’t look for the results, the only results you want to look for everyday is the consistent feeling of success.
It will take time but before you know it, you will feel amazing and then your life will change.
Things will just keep getting better and better for you and you will enjoy abundance.
If your life isn’t going the way you would like right now, think about changing it because there are people thriving right now so they must be doing something different.
Life is amazing and so are you and your life can be anything you want it to be.
It’s up to you
What are you thinking right now?

Boom, What An Idea!!
How many times have you had a bolt of inspiration and it resonated with you, you get all enthused and it runs through your mind for 20-30 minutes then you get side tracked and then later forget what the idea was.
Then you try and dig around your brain for hours looking for even a hint of what the lightning bolt of inspiration was.
You try and replicate the feeling so maybe the idea will come back, you try and try and try but nope it’s gone.
And you think what the??? How can that be, because the idea felt so right and so real.
Blah @#&&*!!!
This is a lesson I’ve learned many times over and I’ve built my real estate career on lightning bolt ideas that I’ve captured and run with.
The next listing tool, the next prospecting idea and so on.
People often ask me why is it you list so many properties, well to be perfectly honest with you it’s because I’m thinking non stop about that next great idea that will give me an edge when I go to the next listing appointment.
I always want to have 2-3 tools or concepts that no other agent has in the area…… That’s how I win most of my business!!!
So, back to capturing the idea.
One of my strength has been capturing an idea and the implementing it.
I don’t muck around, once I get the idea….. It’s done.
I really got to understand just how important this was to moving forward a Real Estate career and saw this trait in many of the great agents.
They just get things done and done quickly if it means they could potentially win the next listing a little easier over the competition but it all starts with the idea.
This is something I first learnt from Ralph. R. Roberts (One of America’s best agents) he sells about 600 homes a year, so maybe we should listen to people like this!
He carries a note pad everywhere with him, it’s with him 24 hours a day and he writes every new idea down straight away.
Why?
Because he knows that could be just the idea that will help him sell the next 100 homes!! That’s why.
If you are serious about your Real Estate career, you have to get structured and getting structured starts with capturing ideas and implementing them.
Even if the results don’t fly, it doesn’t matter, it’s about forming the habit and besides the idea just might need a bit of modifying before it’s the next big thing in your career.
Like the site Mat Steinwede.com…… I’ve had 3 other version prior to this one that just didn’t work after I built them but I got the idea maybe 10 years ago and ran with it and kept modifying it until I found something that people liked and it worked but I didn’t give up on the idea because it was like a bolt of inspiration one day for me and I knew it was something that could work for me in the future.
If I didn’t capture the idea or didn’t modify it over time I probably would never have got to meet everyone who watches and contributes, what a missed opportunity to connect with the industry.
Anyway, I want you to take a leaf out of Ralph. R. Roberts career and capture your ideas….. It’s how greatness is achieved.
The Universe gives you ideas, specifically for you, for a reason because it’s showing you the pathway to your success and if you don’t listen, you have to find the way yourself which is much harder and will take much longer.
Think about things like Apple, Microsoft, Quksilver, The Harbour Bridge, The Oprah House, Cirque du Soleil and the list goes on…….
They were all great ideas once and wouldn’t it have been a shame if someone didn’t listen to the bolt of inspiration they were given.
How are you capturing your ideas?

What Do You Want To Be?
Isn’t it exciting when you are growing up there is an abundance of choice in front of us.
The feeling of striving for what you want to be and running in that direction.
I want to be a Fireman or a Professional Golfer or a Plumber…. It’s really just a matter of picking something that enthuses you and running in that direction.
It’s so fun.
Then as we grow older we find ourselves in a job and the dreams we had as younger people are nothing more than a distant memory.
Many people wake up every day resenting their job and desire in their heart to be doing something else that they love.
They go through life really wanting to be or do something else but live this life of disconnect or maybe dissatisfaction because they feel they have too.
Wouldn’t it be a shame to get to the end of your life and feel unfulfilled, feel like life has passed you by and you have lived a life that feels incomplete.
Why does this have to be the life that you live?
It really doesn’t but fear can keep people from doing what their heart desires.
Fear can be the very thing that can causes you to carve out a life that prevents you from realising your dreams.
Fear can be so real but yet it doesn’t exist anywhere but in your mind.
Think about it, fear doesn’t exist anywhere except in your mind, the same mind that can produce any outcome you want in your life.
ANYTHING!!
Why did we stop striving for what makes our heart sing as kids, those things that made us light up when we talked about them.
Those things that gave us purpose and gave our lives meaning.
Why do we live a life of disconnect because the fear in your mind tells you, you have too.
Well it doesn’t.
You can be anything you want in this life, if you believe and want it enough.
People have achieved the impossible because they believed it was possible and the fear that popped up in their mind was quickly put aside and destroyed by certainty and belief which is a far greater force…. That’s why they achieved it.
See, the creation and achievement in your life is completely driven by what you think and feel about yourself and your future.
If you let fear drive your life you will end up in a job you dislike, doing things you don’t like, living in a way that you are unsatisfied with.
To live with certainty can set you free and will give you limitless amounts of energy to keep you moving towards those things that make your heart sing.
Life is about creation….. Creating the life that you want it to be and to do anything less is a waste of life.
If your life is getting on and you have desire to be or do something else that you’re not doing right now, cease the moment and make the decision to do it.
Make the decision to live a life of fulfilment and take the first steps towards making the changes that are required to live a phenomenal life.
Do it with complete focus and commitment and it will be yours, a life of success and achievement.
Life is amazing and it ticks by every day, the only question you need to be asking is….. Is your life the way you want it to be?
If the answer is no, do something about it today and make your life the most amazing on the planet.
You can do anything, just make the decision and go for it!!
Are there changes that you need to be making?

Just Keep Going
There are times in life and in your Real Estate career when you look around and it just isn’t fun.
You start to question things and wonder is it going to get better.
This is something probably many of us can relate too.
Think of the successful people that we all know, Lance Armstrong, Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Donald Trump, Oprah, Helen Keller and there are many more.
Was their life all sunshine and lolly pops?
I’d say probably not.
Then why are they so successful?
Because they stayed the course.
See, one thing I have noticed about successful people is they are so focused on their goal they know it’s going to happen, they just know their part in the achievement of it is to just keep going.
I’m sure many of them if not all of them felt like quitting at different stages (probably multiple times).
However they didn’t.
I’m sure they doubted their ability at different times.
However they made themselves believe.
I’m sure they lost their way at different times.
However they created a new course and kept on going.
The achievement of a goal is not about going from A to B.
It’s about going past every letter in the Alphabet until you find B.
Achievement has no direct course, and the funny thing is the reason it doesn’t have a direct course from A to B is you learn valuable lessons along the way that teach you how to become even more successful once you reach B.
There is a saying “you can’t see the picture while you’re standing in the frame” and that’s like life.
When you are going through something that you don’t particularly love you can’t see how it fits into the picture of your life exactly because you are standing in the frame.
But once you get through it and stand back and look at the picture it makes perfect sense and if anything was necessary for you to learn what you needed to learn at that particular time in your life to make you even more successful when you get through it.
That’s why it’s important to stay focused on your goal and just keep going because if you just keep moving forward with a positive focus on the outcome you desire you have to eventually get there.
The only reason you won’t achieve what it is you want is if you stop focusing on it and stop moving towards it.
And that’s the thing, you can achieve anything if you want it enough….. You just have to want it enough.
There is so much possibility in this World to achieve massive success you just have to believe it can be yours and go after it with everything you have.
And it will come!!
Do you want it enough?
