John Assaraf : Reinventing the Entrepreneur

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.

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

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!

Achieving wealth means acquiring money – there’s no doubt about that. But to me, true wealth is a total package of fulfillment and happiness. It includes:

• Complete financial security
• Loving relationships with your significant other, friends and family
• Robust health, so that you can do what you want to do
• A spiritual connection to the universe

Picture all of that for yourself!

And after you create that mental picture of true wealth in your life… commit to yourself that it is really achievable…

If you are able to do that, and truly believe it, you may qualify for an exciting program I’ve created. It’s called the Having It All Challenge, and here’s how it works:

I am going to choose a select number of individuals who really want to manifest true wealth in their lives… and I am going to personally mentor them in a group setting.

As you may know, my True North is to love, inspire and serve others. This means that I:

• Live creatively, always pushing the envelope
• Challenge others to live life to their fullest potential
• Surround myself with healthy, happy people who are also striving for the best

The Having It All Challenge meets these criteria for me, and I’d love to have you join me. But because my time is limited, this is a very exclusive program.

A few people with strong commitments to success will be selected to meet online, on the phone, and ultimately in person, for the regular, real-time personal interaction that makes this format so much more powerful than any book, film, CD, or one-time seminar.

I’m really excited about the Having It All Challenge, and I’m eager to gauge your interest and share more details. I’ve set up a conference call for Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 5 p.m. (Pacific) to discuss the program in more detail.

Register for the call now. For a few people, this is going to be the transformational step in life. You’ll be able to leverage all of my experience, and all the passion and energy of your peers in the Having It All community to create true wealth— financial, physical, emotional, and spiritual—in your life, now!

Join me on the call to learn more!

Achieving true wealth is a mountain and we are going to climb it together…

It’s up to you, are you ready for the challenge?

You should know by now that I am a risk-taker. I have a lot of faith and, truth be told, my risks are pretty calculated. I do my best due diligence before I take any sort of action, and do what I can to eliminate undesired results. Then I charge forward with the belief that no matter what happens, everything will work out fine—or at least the way it was supposed to. I trust one hundred percent of my being to the universe.

If you don’t risk money, you’re not going to make a lot of it. If you don’t risk your emotions, you can’t have a deep, fulfilling relationship. If you don’t risk falling short of your dreams, you’ll never come close to them.
But don’t take a risk while focusing on what could go wrong, because the law of attraction will ensure that what you fear most will happen. If you focus on failure, you can never succeed. If you focus on being hurt by a relationship, you can never feel loved. But don’t take my word for it—test my ideas by starting to take risks. You have been given the unique power to make choices. Every other animal on this planet is confined.

But you have the ability to co-create your own destiny with the powers given to you. To achieve the life of your dreams, you must first have total and undeniable faith in yourself and in God, your Creator, the Universal Intelligence—whatever you choose to call your source. That’s why the greatest risks of all are called leaps of faith.

Are you ready to take a leap of faith to live the life of your dreams? The Having It All program can help you achieve your goals and more.

Long ago I read about a study on goal setting, which revealed the number one reason most people don’t write down their goals is fear of not achieving them. The best acronym I’ve ever heard for fear is (F)alse (E)motions (A)ppearing (R)eal.

Don’t let fear take you off course before you’ve even left the harbor!

It’s very easy—and normal—for a captain to get scared when entering uncharted waters. But this is your life—your ship—and if you want to get to your destination, you must sail on. When we’re caught in life’s storm, fear sets in if we don’t know how to handle inclement weather. Great captains learn to chart their course and prepare as best as they can for the storms. They learn to use the wind to fill the sails, not destroy them. You can learn to be a great captain of yourself. It will take time and effort, but, honestly, no more time and effort than living a mediocre life. It’s up to you.

For you to make headway in your journey, you must be totally honest about where you are today. It serves no purpose to lie to yourself about where you currently are. You must understand that where you are now is only the result of past thinking and planning (or lack of either or both). That’s why I have you complete the True North exercise in my program, Having It All. The exercise helps you assess your physical, mental, and spiritual health to reach greatness in living the life of your dreams.

You can achieve new results if they are carefully thought through and monitored so your outcome is consistent with your desires and dreams. So what are you waiting for—anchors away!

A part of the goal-setting process that many people struggle with is creating action plans. One way to conquer this obstacle before it even arises is to get a mentor. I’ve had many–I can’t imagine being as successful as I have been without my mentors guiding me.

Identify Your Role Model

If you’ve always wanted to be a professional juggler, but have no idea of where to start with your action plan, find information about a successful professional juggler or two in your area. They will be your role models. There’s someone who dominates in every field, so you always have access to people who are excelling at something at which you would like to excel. Find out what they do and how they do it, then copy what you need, making it your own by adding your own personal twist or genius to it.

Don’t be afraid to ask–after all, imagine how flattered you would feel if someone asked you to be a mentor (and when you start accomplishing your goals, someone might just do that)!

Asking for a Mentor

Once you’ve identified some role models and selected one whom you would like as a mentor, you ask him or her. It’s that simple. “Would you be willing to mentor me?”

Of course, you should let your mentor know why such a relationship would benefit him or her, as well. Make sure you propose to meet at his or her office, and volunteer your talents in some way, such as aiding with a pet project, so that you are helping in return. If you’ve done enough research on your prospective mentor, you should be able to come up with a creative way to help him or her that also demonstrates your familiarity with their work.

Following is a sample conversation you can alter to suit your own personality.

“I want to accomplish ____________, and I respect the results you’ve produced in your life. Would you be willing to help by meeting with me once a week so I can learn from your achievements? I’d like to make it worth your while by ____________. Does a mentor relationship with me sound like something you’d enjoy?”

Don’t rush this process, and make sure you have a few back-up role models to ask in case your first choice(s) are too busy to help.

If you are truly serious about creating the life of your dreams, take a peek at Having It All.

Have you ever noticed how there are about as many reactions to an experience on a roller coaster as there are people? One loves it and another is petrified. One is yelling “Woohoo!” and the other is screaming “Oh, no!” One could end up with a belief that roller coasters are scary, while the other person could end up with a belief that roller coasters are exhilarating. Or maybe they brought those beliefs to the ride in the first place.

Different people form opposite beliefs about the same experience all the time. Which beliefs are true? Neither. Or both. The real question to ask yourself is, “Which beliefs will get me where I want to go in life?” Luckily for you, you get to choose for yourself.

When my son Keenan was seven, we were invited to go paragliding in San Diego. I called his mom and left her a message inviting her to join us at the glider port, when we would jump off a cliff harnessed to an instructor.

Can you tell that I’m a more adventurous parent?

His mom came to watch and almost fainted as our son ran off the cliff harnessed to the instructor, the ocean five hundred feet below. It was the first time paragliding for both my son and me, so I didn’t know what to expect and was a little scared myself.

Keenan’s initial belief was, “Wow! This will be so much fun!” After the experience, his positive belief and perception about heights and paragliding were forever ingrained in his mind. His mom’s first thought was that this would be dangerous, but her negative belief was so rattled by our experience that since then she has expressed a slight desire to try it herself sometime.

Some of our beliefs are formed instantly, such as when a significant emotional experience occurs, while others are formed over time, after several experiences. What’s important to remember is that beliefs aren’t good or bad; they just are. As you already know, you must understand and evaluate the beliefs you have to determine whether or not they’re serving you and helping you create the life you really want.

Lets continue to create that life of your dreams—by starting with the beliefs that will serve you! You can discover more about how to do this with my Having It All program.

Do you ever feel the need for peace and serenity? Do you take time out of your busy day to reflect on your life and the way you live it?

By setting aside a few moments each day to explore your unconscious mind, you will improve the quality of your day.

It can sometimes be difficult to find time for meditation. In my own life, I had to make meditation my first priority in the morning in order to work it into my schedule. As soon as I wake up, I pile pillows in back of myself in bed and meditate right there—that way, I always have time for it. I can’t imagine starting a day without it.

Some people are quite creative in working meditation into their lives. Creating a quiet space can sometimes be as much of a hurdle as creating time. You could reserve a corner in a room, and make sure that it remains clean and uncluttered so that it is always ready for you. A closet large enough to sit in could become a peaceful meditation hideaway for you, complete with comfortable pillow and decorations. A secluded corner of a garden would also work. Many of those who meditate like to have their personal sacred objects around them—a beloved picture, a favorite candle, a beautiful rug. No matter what appeals to you, you must decide to make room for meditation, every day.

There are many different methods of meditation. Explore all the possibilities and find one that works for you. Every meditation’s objective is to go into the silence. Multiple resources exist—you could consult magazines, books, web sites, religious organizations, seminars, workshops, and meditation/yoga centers. You could also try instructional videos or CDs, which provide guided meditations. Following is a short list of several methods of meditation: Some may surprise you, but meditation is more a matter of what you bring to the practice—patience and a desire to silence the mind—than of what the practice entails.

• Focus on the petals of a flower
• Drink a cup of tea on your patio or in your garden
• Walk
• Do yoga
• Wax your car

A meditation can be anything which takes you into silence, both inner and outer, and clears your mind of all thoughts. Try as many methods as you need until you find one—or more—that work for you, and proceed on your journey to the life of your dreams.
