Many of you may already know the story of Mike Dillards vehicle's these last few weeks. If not then I'll fill you in....just keep reading.

I think it was Christmas Eve and I was on Twitter (the hottest thing to do right now), updating my profile and checking out the tweets of the few people I follow. Mike Dillard just so happens to be one of them and I try to interact with him as much as I can. This is a guy who lives in complete abundance, and has perfected the craft tremendously.

Scrolling down the list of profiles on my home page I saw Mike's face and a very shocking message next to it:

"Aston martin just rear-ended at stop light. Yippee 4:24 PM Dec 24th, 2008"

I immediately put my feet in his shoes and panicked for him! That's a car worth over $100K! I had to send him a message (to ask if he was OK & un-hurt.......then to ask about the car):

@Mike_Dillard Are you serious?!?!?!? How are you handling it? ....I would be irate. 5:02 PM Dec 24th, 2008

I couldn't imgaine anyone not feeling the same way.Come to find out....there was $12,000 in damages!

@Mike_Dillard So did you get anything resolved? guess this would be the wrong time for a marketing Q & A...I'm hurtin with ya buddy. 6:19 PM Dec 24th, 2008

I learned a quick but powerful lesson about having an abundance mentality from Mike Dillard just from sharing a few tweets with him. I cannot stress paying attention to every detail of the people you want to mirror. This was his reply:

@cashattraction Everything's cool. There's no point in crying over spilled milk. Won't fix the car ;) Shook his hand and accepted apology. 6:23 PM Dec 24th, 2008

After reading that reply, I actually had to sit and really think about why he responded so calmly. I really sat back and thought about it.

• He said "Everything's cool."
• He "won't fix the car"
• He gave me that ;) wink thing.

Nicknaming myself "Mindset Mike", it was starting to make sense why he was so calm:

@Mike_Dillard Glad everythings cool. And not fixing the car,and winking.You must have somethin up your sleeve? Is that emotion of abundance? 7:33 PM Dec 24th, 2008

Mike Dillard knows how to control his thoughts, he knows that the very thoughts he has will consume him and take over his life. Having an abundant mentality keeps abundance flowing. I had no idea what he was planning, but it had to be something......

......what guy goes through having his Aston Martin crashed into by a snow plow, say he's not going to fix the car, wink and stay content?

If you said a rich guy, give yourself a pat on the back for being funny because I just said that in my head while typing....but no.

An Abundant guy thinks that way. Having an abundance mentality causes thoughts like that (there are people who are not rich, but live in abundance.....their focus is just different from others). As Mike wrote in Magnetic Sponsoring, there is an endless amount of money, an endless amount of leads.

There is no reason to focus on lack or loss! When you live in abundance....you live a life full of desire. Nothing is impossible. Nothing is scarce. Not money, not leads, not cars.

Obviously Mike Dillard had something up his sleeve. An Audi R8!

Have you accepted abundance or do you still want it? I'm going to ask that question until you get it.....even when you do.

Your Belief is Your Future.
