A Lesson from a REAL Black Belt Master...


A Valuable Lesson on Mindset vs. Skill from a REAL Black Belt Master...

Dillard

As you may already know, Raymond and I train in the martial arts an average of 3-4 times per week.

A HUGE aspect of our training has less to do with the physical, and a
lot to do with the mental, because as your body wears down the only
thing keeping you competitive is your mind.

Oddly enough, Mike Dillard is permanently launching Black Belt Recruiting and coincedentally, there's a lot that succeeding in networking and the martial arts have in common.

I must confess first, that I am not (physically) the perfect picture of what a martial artist should look like.

I weight 270lbs, 6'3" and watching me perform a jumping spin kick is
not exactly what you would call "poetry in motion".

There are many more talented and athletic practioners at my martial arts school.

However, when push comes to shove and I'm in a sparring or grappling
match, I've managed to defeat individuals who are many ranks higher
than me, in something where usually the faster and quicker individual
has the advantage.

Being that I'm still a pretty low rank and have a long way before I
reach 1st Dan, I sat back to think about why it is I seem to be
progressing pretty quickly, considering my arsenal of techniques are
still limited.

What's the Difference Maker?

As
Chief Master Lee always tells us right before competition, "regardless
of your experience and rank, when preparing for competition you are
preparing for battle".

"In battle there is no second place.  You must go in with the belief that you can and will win."

I guess I've taken this to heart, because now I look forward to my
matches with my more skilled and senior brothers at the dojang. And
although I have my share of defeats, I've recently been having a good
number of victories.

So what's the correlation between my recent progress in the martial arts and network marketing...

Simple... confidence and belief that I will win.

Smacking Prospects Upside the Head

Not
to long ago, I started talking to prospects and potential business
partners with one hand extended out and a smile on my face, and with
the other hand behind my back ready to swing it around and knock them
upside the head if they say anything that would piss me off.

You see, I've grown very intolerant of whiny, skeptical and negative people
Unless they are willing to shell out $400 per hour in consultation fees
to have me hear them whine, they are lucky if I just simply walk away
or refuse to answer their phone calls.

Now don't
take me wrong, I take calls anytime someone has a couple of questions
and answer emails about our products or opportunity.  But when someone
starts spewing excuses and tries to suck me into their negative world
-- I'm gone.

We have absolute confidence in our ability to grow a downline, make a
substantial income and help others do the same.  And we go through
great lengths to shield ourselves from anything that will sabotage that.

Everyday I wake up ready to go to battle with the negative forces,
which will inevitably attempt to keep me from realizing my dreams.

I will win.

The same in martial arts. I got into every sparring and grappling match
with the intention of winning -- and if I lose, I will understand why I
lost and learn from those mistakes.

Developing the Warrior's Mindset

And right now the perfect opportunity for you to develop the mindset and skills is available to you in the re-release of Black Belt Recruiting.

Mike Dillard and Mark Wieser may not be martial artist, but they are
certainly warriors and will teach you the exact mindset required to
truly perform on a black belt level... as well as providing you the
techniques and skills to support that mindset.

But make no mistake about it... ultimately it's not about how much you
know or how many techniques you have in your arsenal...


It's about making the best with what you've got and rushing in with the belief that you will succeed.

And
in a world where 97% of people are drowning in their own fears and self
doubt, it's the person with the greater self-image whom will rule.

Mindset is the brother of preparation.

Thanks for your article on going to the mat with your business. As important it is to know your product, you need that added incentive of a prepared mindset reminding and prodding you on. Believing in yourself and knowing that you're ready, you'll go into the presentation with dogged determination.

Sure we might not have a 100% close ratio, but with persistence and a commitment to stay with it, we will walk tall as we walk off the mat
