Who Do YOU Look To For Inspiration in Your Life?

January 15, 2009 · Filed Under Mission, Mindset and Leadership, Our Personal Story 

Everyone knows someone who have been faced with terrible obstacles (health, financial, personal) and come out the other side to find tremendous success.  You read in the paper or on the Internet on a daily basis of such inspirational stories.

Lucky for me, I don’t have to look too far.  Just across the breakfast table.

I have told this story before, but for new readers, a brief summary.

Rosemary in the Bahamas

Rosemary in the Bahamas

A little more than 1 year ago, my wife Rosemary was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Further, they tested her for a genetic mutation that would increase dramatically her chance of getting recurring cancers in her breasts or ovaries in the future.  She tested positive for this mutation.

It was also at this time when we were launching a couple of new home business ventures.

My reaction was to put everything on hold and focus on Rosemary’s health.

Rosemary’s reaction was that NOTHING was going to stop her, and we should move forward with everything.

She is a very brave and courageous gal.

Today, we got back from the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas.  In between, Rosemary endured 4 operations and various setbacks, and I am so happy to announce, cancer-free.

It was not just a week of vacation.  It was a celebration of life.

And a celebration of our perseverence.  Neither of us ever thought for one moment that Rosemary would not be cured.  And neither of us would let her illness stop the progress we were realizing in our business.

Check out the new video we just posted on this subject:

Now, I’m no fool, and neither is Rosemary.  Both of us realize that, if it were not for very early detection of her cancer things could have turned out a lot different.  But we also believe with all our hearts that mindset and a positive attitude is extremely important when trying to attain anything in life, whether it be recovering from an illness or trying to attain a seemingly unreachable personal or financial goal.

Mindset is very powerful.  It should never be underestimated.

I’ve seen it time and gain in members of my business team.  There are those that have everything going for them — the knowledge, the brains, the finances– but they fail.

In comparison, I’ve seen team members who I doubted would be able to make their business work — no money, no prior experience — but they flourished and grew their business exponentially.

The difference?  MINDSET.

The group with seemingly little or no chance spent a lot of time developing their mindset.  At least an hour each day of learning techniques to stay positive, visualize their goals, and to make smart uses of their time.

My advice for everyone is find someone inspirational to you and pay close attention to their mindset.  My bet is that they are positive, upbeat people who pay close attention to what goes on between their ears.

Stay positive, folks!
