A tale of two shoe salesmen

Monday, August 25th, 2008

There is a tale about these two shoe salesmen who travel to a third world country in search of new business opportunities.

One man calls his wife the moment he lands, telling her, “Honey, I’m coming back home. There’s no hope here. Nobody here is wearing shoes, so there’s no one to sell to.” He boards the next flight home.

The second man calls his wife and says, “Honey, you wouldn’t believe what I found here. There is so much opportunity. No one here is wearing shoes. I can sell to the whole country!”

There’s opportunity everywhere. When we have a consciousness of expecting the magic to happen, it will happen. We’ll find the right people, we’ll move in the right circles, we’ll ‘bump’ into the right solutions. It all starts with that opening in the mind.

Are you ready to seize your opportunity? Be part of the Having It All Challenge.

I’m running for President!

What is the price of success?

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Here is a little pop quiz for you. In 1923, who was:

  1. President of the largest steel company?
  2. President of the largest gas company?
  3. President of the New York Stock Exchange?
  4. The greatest wheat speculator?
  5. President of the Bank of International Settlement?
  6. The Great Bear of Wall Street?

These men were considered some of the world’s most successful in their day.

Now, 85 years later, the history book asks us if we know what ultimately became of them.

The answers:

  1. The president of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper.
  2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane.
  3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home.
  4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless.
  5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself.
  6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, also committed suicide.

However, that same year in 1923, the PGA Champion and the winner of the most important golf tournament, the US Open, was Gene Sarazen.

What became of him?

He was healthy and played golf until he was 92, died in 1999 at the age of 95 and… he was financially secure at the time of his death.

So what’s the purpose of this little tale? Is it to play golf until you are 92? The answer is… only if that’s your passion.

The purpose of this message is to invite you to the Having It All Challenge and to live life on your own terms.

In the next several weeks, I am choosing a group of individuals who will personally be mentored by me and some of my world renowned friends on the art and science of Having It All. Life is too short to settle for less than your full potential.

And I am certain that I have the answers you need to live your life in total abundance with great health, wealth, relationships and a spiritual connection like you’ve never experienced before.

On Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 5 p.m. (Pacific), I’ll be giving people from around the world an opportunity to qualify for this exclusive six-month program that will have us working together to create the life of your dreams. All you need to do is RSVP and be on the 35-45 minute call.

I will share all the details you need to make a decision. And to determine if this is right for you and if you qualify.

To you Having It All,

John

Why is money important?

Monday, August 18th, 2008

Take any group of 100 people at the start of their business or working career and follow them for 40-50 years until they reach retirement: Here’s what you’ll find, according to the Social Security Administration:

  • Only 1 will end up rich
  • 4 will be financially comfortable
  • 5 will have to continue to work because they have to
  • 36 will be dead
  • 54 will be dead broke and have to depend on the government, friends, family or charity to survive

I know it’s an odd question, but which one will you be (or are you already)?

What is the real difference between these people?

Some have college degrees and others have little or no education.

There are a few millionaires who were born wealthy, and there are many who do it on their own, the old fashioned way — they earn it.

There are millionaires in every country in the world, regardless of location or circumstances.

The truly wealthy people, those who have money, health, great relationships and a spiritual connection, all have one thing in common:

They understand that in order to achieve what they want, they must learn to think and act in certain ways.

If you are ready to have more of everything in your life right now, I can show you the fastest and easiest way to get there.

Join me for a great call on Wednesday, August 20 where I will share with you exactly what you need to know and what you need to do to have the life of your dreams…

Register for the call now!

To your success!

Finish Strong

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Hi friends,

The other day I was watching a short movie called Finish Strong, and I was reminded of the story of Wilma Rudolf.

Wilma Rudolf was born July 23, 1940 into a large family of 22 in Clarksville, Tennessee. Growing up in a community parted by racial discrimination, Wilma never received proper medical attention as a child. She was diagnosed with one illness after another: measles, mumps, scarlet fever, chicken pox and double pneumonia. Until finally she was diagnosed with polio, a crippling disease that had no cure and doctors told her mother that Wilma would never walk.

Wilma’s mother drove her to be treated twice a week at Meharry Hospital, the black medical college in Nashville, even though it was 50 miles away and the family was strapped for funds. After 2 years, Wilma was able to walk with the aid of metal leg braces and by the age of 12 she could walk normally with no assistance. It was then that she decided to become an athlete.

“My mother taught me very early to believe I could achieve any accomplishment I wanted to. The first was to walk without braces,” said Wilma. She would go on to win three gold medals in a single Olympics and be placed in the Olympics Hall of Fame.

Amazing stories like this remind me of how fortunate I have been in life and proves that with a mindset for success and a will to succeed anything can be accomplished. Finish Strong is about three minutes long, but it will leave you inspired and anxious to achieve your goals.

Check out the OneCoach Blog!

Hi friends,

Some of you may not know that a few years ago I came out of retirement to start my newest business venture, called OneCoach. Murray Smith, co-author for my latest New York Times best-seller “The Answer,” and I decided take what we have learned in our years of business experience, and put it to use helping other people achieve their dreams of business success and financial freedom. And it’s working! We have helped small-business owners and entrepreneurs around the world achieve more business, more money, and more life.

I wanted to let you know that OneCoach has a blog too, and you should definitely check it out if you have any interest in achieving success in business. The executive team and I write posts a few times a week that give small-business owners practical tips and tools they need to grow the business of their dreams. We cover a diverse range of topics from marketing and goal achievement, to how to create a mindset for success.

If you want to be a step ahead of your competition you should check out the OneCoach blog!

Here’s a sample post:

This is the first of a series of posts excerpted from a conference call between OneCoach CEO John Assaraf and Tony Rubleski, president of Mind Capture Group and author of Mind Capture: How to Generate New & Repeat Business in the Age of Advertising Overload.

You absolutely must get your company in the mindshare of the consumers and really understand how important that is. You need to be in the forefront of your prospect’s mind. Essentially, you want your prospect to wake up in the middle of the night with a question about your industry, and have your company name and information pop into their mind as the answer.

The No Complaining Rule

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

The biggest problems plaguing businesses and life today is negativity! A good friend of mine Jon Gordon, has written a new book called “The No Complaining Rule”. Jon, also known as “America’s #1 Energy coach,” is a brilliant speaker, consultant and an international best selling author. This innovative book shows you how to tackle everyday negativity and to turn something negative into a positive! Here are 5 positive things we can do each day instead of complain, from Jon’s new book:

1. Practice Gratitude. Research shows that when we count three blessings a day, we get a measurable boost in happiness that uplifts and energizes us. It’s also physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time. Two thoughts cannot occupy our mind at the same time. If you are focusing on gratitude, you can’t be negative. You can also energize and engage your coworkers by letting them know you are grateful for them and their work.

2. Praise Others. Instead of complaining about what others are doing wrong, start focusing on what they are doing right. Praise them and watch as they create more success as a result. Of course, point out their mistakes so they can learn and grow, but make sure you give three times as much praise as criticism.

3. Focus on Success. Start a success journal. Each night before you go to bed, write down the one great thing about your day. The one great conversation, accomplishment, or win that you are most proud of. Focus on your success, and you’ll look forward to creating more success tomorrow.

4. Let Go. Focus on the things that you have the power to change, and let go of the things that are beyond your control. You’ll be amazed that when you stop trying to control everything, it all somehow works out.

5. Pray and Meditate. Scientific research shows that these daily practices reduce stress; boost positive energy; and promote health, vitality, and longevity. When you are faced with the urge to complain or you are feeling stressed to the max, stop, be still, plug-in to the ultimate power, and recharge.
