The Greatest Shortcuts of Winners | Road to Success
from Masters and Champions
America is still the richest land in the richest era in history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of people here become millionaires! Four million Americans double or triple their income . Opportunity in thousands and thousands of different arenas. So why do most of us settle for such average results? When did we stop dreaming big dreams? Worse, at what insidious point in time did YOU stop believing in your dreams?
Who wouldn't laugh at Ben Rich, when he came up with a "design" in the 1970's for an invisible airplane? Would YOU believe in such a silly dream? Not many people did. One powerful man who DID believe in what Ben presented him with was in charge of allocating money to military aircraft research (A man who went on to become US Secretary of Defense).
Money was invested, and many years of research and development were required... including many dozens of ‘failures.’ Ben Rich never stopped believing in his dream. In 1990, the value of his dream, and the persistence to make it reality, was magnified through 43 consecutive days and nights of selective, near-surgically-precise bombing in Iraq... without a single F-117 Stealth Fighter being shot down -- even in the face of massive anti-aircraft barrages, where the skies were lit with explosions!!. The reason none of those F-117's were shot down? Opposition radar never once picked up these Stealth fighters. Electronically speaking, they were invisible!
Where does the Shapetalk Shortcuts Way begin in you... and, sometimes more importantly, where does the Shapetalk Shortcuts Way stop with you? What are the limits of your own achievement? What are the limitations of your imagination? Dreams are invariably "impossible" to those who don't share the dream. People who are unwilling to pursue their own dream are mighty quick to knock the efforts of those who dare to dream, and dare to take the smaller, necessary steps to make that dream a fact of life. Remember that the people who knock YOUR dream are losers... especially if the person knocking it happens to belong to the face you see in the mirror.
Isn't there SOMETHING you'd still like to do in your life? Is the rest of your life nothing more than punching a clock, "somehow surviving" from payday to payday? Are you able to bank at least two paychecks per month as "free & clear savings ," above & beyond your expenses & pleasure spending? If not, it may be time to take a look, hmm? I know, I know, you have no shortage of "reasons" for not really tapping into the Giant that’s inside of you. Frankly, I'm not interested in hearing them, nor do I know ANYONE who's interested in listening to your excuses... except for other excuse-makers, who will be quick to commiserate with your "reasons," & quick to agree with you. Well, no one's ever excused his or her way to success.
Time to stop whining, complaining, bitching, griping, Moaning, groaning. Ugh, what depressing & offensive words. Wouldn’t you rather be excited, enthusiastic, straining for the winning line?
Do you have any desire to feel the joy and excitement of NEW successes and toys and cash?
You’ve solved emergencies before…when it was important enough to you.
What’s important to you now?
Stop making excuses. Enough already, hm?
Today's date is separate from every other date in your life, and mine.
Only a fool would waste a day
Then again, maybe you have something more important to do today.
Whatever you do in the next hour will tell us clearly what you stand for, & who you are....

I’ll show you a man who’ll make history.
Show me a man without a goal, I’ll show you...
... a stock clerk." |
