Become A Human "Being"

Written by Eddie Holford on Apr 13, 2008 6:53 pm

Traditionally, we are taught through our educational system and society in general, that if we want to be somebody important in life, hold status, or live happily, we need to do the following three things in chronological order:

1. DO what's required. 2. To HAVE what it is you need. 3. To BE the person you aspire to be.

Can you relate to this chronological paradigm at all? Let me give you an example - Let's use the elite profession of being a doctor. What school, parents, and society will have us often believe is that to be successful and happy, you need to be a doctor. In other words, being a doctor directly correlates to success.

So if you take on that school of thought, the next logical question would become - how do I become a doctor? Lo and behold, our foregoing paradigm will show that to BE a doctor you must - 1. Go through university, dedicate 7-9 years of your life, stay determined and study hard.You must DO the schooling. 2. When you finish that process, you'll HAVE a medical degree, a Dr. in front of your name and a respectable profession within society. 3. When number 2 is fully satisfied, you will then BE "successful".

Now, I have nothing against doctors, and I only use them as an example because of their well-valued status within our society. The issue is not with doctors per say, but instead it is with the stereotype that our society has created around their profession and other professions. The reality is they're not statistically more happy, fulfilled, or free of problems than anyone else in our society and that's because being a doctor doesn't inherently mean you're successful. It solely means you have a doctorate degree. The fundamental flaw actually lies in the chronological paradigm that our society has taught us to live by - DO to HAVE to BE.

So while most of those trying in society do accomplish those three criteria in order, I'd like you to consider what would occur for you if you moved that order around. This is a methodology I coined, the Chronological Success Paradigm and it looks like this:

1. BE the person that's required. 2. To DO what it is needed. 3. To HAVE what it is you desire.

As you can see we swapped the order around and with this newly fine-tuned way of attaining success, you have access to producing results in your life like you've never seen or felt before.

Here is a great example in business to illustrate. Let's say your goal is to earn $1 million / year. This would be considered your HAVE. Now go backwards and determine what it is you'd need to DO in order to be earning $1 million / year with your business. The DO is to practise your typical goal setting.

So now that we've determined our DO, what's next becomes quite untraditional. From your DO list, now figure out WHO you would have to BE to naturally DO the things you know is needed to HAVE what it is you ultimately desire. And that is the winning formula that most people never recognize.

Here is how it applies to building a 6-figure network marketing organization in reverse:

Let's say your goal is to earn over $300,000 / year in your business (HAVE).
You would then list off everything you'd need to successfully DO to make that HAVE manifest into a reality. This may include - finding the appropriate company, finding a mentor within the company, following the system provided to a "tee", and blocking off 15-20 hours / week to dedicate to consistently growing this company.
Last, determine who you would have to BE to even effectively accomplish the DOs you've outlined. In other words, look at the people out there who earn 6 and 7-figures per year - who do you thinking they're BEing to accomplish such a financial feat?
Here are some that personally come to mind:
- "Knowledgeable" about their product or service.
- "Confident" with their capabilities.
- "Unstoppable" with their goals.
- "Coachable" with their mentor.
- "Fearless" of rejection.
- "Supportive" and "helpful" with their team.
- "Caring" for their team's success.
- "Giving" of their time to others and their business.
- "Unreasonable" with their goals.

Now imagine for a moment you became someone who was knowledgeable, confident, unstoppable, coachable, fearless, supportive, caring, giving, and unreasonable? Is it not expected, by nature, that this new "prototype" of you could easily and effortlessly do whatever is needed to build up a $300,000 / year business?

The bottom line is this - don't think that having the $500k house, the $70K Corvette, and the massive profit-generating business is going to make you someone successful. If you BE that someone first, anything you desire, must naturally follow. Simply put, humans were never designed as "doers". We were designed as "beings".
