I ended my last post called “The Missing Ingredient To Success In Life (and Business)” with this thought…

Truth doesn’t have any effect in our lives until we take action.

Truth doesn’t become a reality in our lives until we act on it.

Only action or application will bring results.

Well today, I want to continue with idea and expand on it.

First let me start with this story…

A Farmer And His Crops

Imagine a man who decides to be farmer. He really wants to succeed at it, so he does a lot of smart things:

 

• He buys the best piece of land he can afford.
• He buys all the tractors and machines that he needs to plant and harvest.
• He reads everything he can on effective farming techniques.
• He goes to some seminars on farming.
• He even talks to other farmers about how to plant and harvest a good crop.

But there’s one thing he doesn’t do: he never plants any seed.

So when spring comes he has NOTHING to show for all that he knows!

We’d think a farmer like that who expected a crop from what he KNEW instead of what he DID was a little crazy.

But that’s the same things we do so much of the time.

 

• We hear a truth.
• We study it.
• We even accept that it’s a good idea.

But we LEAVE OUT the missing ingredient: we never act on it.

We never apply it!

Reaping or results only come from action. They come from the application of truth.

Knowledge without action deceives us and makes us think that we’ve tried something when all we’ve done is heard it.

 

A Simple (But Neglected) Formula

There’s a simple formula I want you to see.

The formula is this: H+B+A = Results

1. We need to first HEAR a truth.

2. We need to BELIEVE it can really help us and our business.

3. Then we take action on it and APPLY it.

It’s only when ALL these thing happen that we finally see results.

 

I want you to realize something very important: Truth that is never applied is only information.

Truth that IS applied becomes true knowledge.

Because the fact is, you can never really understand a truth until you live it.

A Lesson From Martial Arts

I took martial arts for about 4-5 years and I learned that the one way to really understand a move was to DO it!

You could see someone do a move and THINK you knew it.
You could even practice the move in the air and think, “OK I got it now.”

But it was only once you put on the sparring pads, had someone coming at you – and you had to defend yourself, that you REALLY understood the move!

Or you found out you didn’t!

Again, you can never really understand a truth until you live it.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not insinuating that you are the only one with this problem

We ALL have this problem.

That’s why we need to access the right truth (concepts, methods, strategies, etc.) and receive encouragement and accountability to spur us on to actually applying that truth in our life and business.

Two Month “Take Action” Program Starts October 8th

That’s why in October, I will be starting a two-month “Take Action” program to help you apply more of what you know in your life and business.

What this program provide:

 

• You’ll receive specific areas to focus on so you can see your business improve
  We’ll begin the month with a webinar. On that webinar, I’ll reveal important areas to focus on for that month and give you some ideas of what you can do for each are. The second month I will give you a new list of areas to focus on and what you can do to work on each of these areas.
• Accountability you need to stay on task
  You will choose which of these challenges you want to focus on. The rest of the group will know the area you are focusing on and you’ll know what others are focusing on. Each week you’ll have a chance to share how things are going: good, bad, or ugly.
• Each week, you’ll receive powerful ideas, encouragement, tips, and resources you can apply in those areas
  Two times a week I’ll email you information and encouragement to keep you going.
• Halfway through the month you’ll receive a personal, one-on-one coaching call 
  We will set a day and time and I will give you a call to check-in and see how you’re doing. I’ll share any personal advice for you and give you encouragement to keep going.
• We’ll close each of the two months with more tips, encouragement and a chance to share your “wins”
  We’ll have a webinar where I’ll give you some more advice on working on your area. You’ll also get a chance to share any “wins” you’ve had during that month and hear other peoples’ wins.
• You can try the first month completely risk-free
  After the first month you can have a full refund if you don’t feel you have already made back the amount you’ve paid and more.

 

I’ll reveal the cost and more details in the next couple weeks, but if you want more information beforehand, then you can contact me here.
