How Things Get Better usually involve Two Steps To Success.

1. Doing the real work of success.

2. Getting out of the way of success.

This was a Saturday morning Livestream on Facebook. I responded to a gentleman who told me “things will get better.”

There’s a really good chance they will.

But only if we interrupt the process that got them to become bad in the first place.

For a lot of us, doing the work of success doesn’t mean doing more of what hasn’t been working up to this point.

It means tweaking what we’ve been doing in a way that makes all the difference in the world.

Or it means throwing it out entirely and starting over.

Usually it’s somewhere in between.

A lot of times it means doing a lot of the same good things we’ve already been doing, but making sure more people know we’re doing it, and have something really good to offer.

That will usually kick start our success…both in the thing we do, and having the courage to invest in our own success.

But… since there are two steps to success, the second one is getting out of the way.

When you do something brave and bold and smart, success is going to show up.

You have to grow into the person who experiences that kind of success.

That may mean getting rid of life circumstances that have held you back.

Relationships…big ones or small ones.

Jobs.

How you spend your free time.

How you spend your business time.

What you allow into your thoughts, or emotions.

You won’t be rich if you allow poverty to keep whispering in your ear.

Once you’re willing to make the leap to a person who thinks big and plays big, everything else is just a matter of time.

2018 is yours, if you want it.

Make it happen!

Guess what? 2018 starts today!

If you want it.

I tried to keep this under five minutes.

But if you’ve watched any of my other stuff, you know how that goes.

I put out this video to respond to the following questions…

Lots of great answers to those questions.

Here’s the truth…

You have a total right to rest and recover from a crazy Christmas season.

You can clean the house, put away the Christmas tree, recover from all the family visits and traveling.

You can do whatever you want.

If you’re waiting until 2018 to get moving on whatever is important to you, it’s going to be hard to cross the finish line.

Since 1999, I’ve noticed that people who tend to wait for the start of the new year, or the new month, or the new whatever…

Tend to keep waiting.

They don’t start.

As the law of physics says…

Bodies In Motion Tend To Stay In Motion.

Bodies At Rest Tend To Stay At Rest.

Maybe this quote will grab you…

You can wait until 2018 to build your business.

But someone who isn’t waiting is going to start now and take the sale or sign up that was meant for you.

Give yourself the best present of all.

It really doesn’t matter when you watch this video. It doesn’t matter if it’s before Christmas, or during, or after.

Because your life goes on no matter what.

And people are always going to make demands on your time. On your attention. On your energy.

On your finances.

A friend of mine had that issue. And he honored me by sending me a message asking for my advice.

(Note to you: if someone asks you for your opinion, as much as possible make it so that more than one person gets the answer.)

So I shot this video on Christmas eve.

Because I want you do use your talents for good.

And for profit.

And I want you to stop being held back by other people’s opinions. They may have some value. But they still aren’t living your life.

And I want you to stop being held back by what you think you don’t know.

There are lots of things you do know. And focusing on those will make you valuable to the right people.

And also may make you hungry to learn more.

If it’s still the holiday season when you see this, have yourself a great one!

If it’s not, give yourself a late present.

Or an early for the next time.

First of all, I truly hope you are spending this Christmas in the glow of family, friends, security, abundance and good health.

I want you to have everything you want, and more.

Let me explain…

Most of us have forgotten how bright, resourceful and capable we are.

It’s been beaten down by life’s pressures.

And many of us have seen some pretty poor role models for how we are supposed to treat each other.

But the truth is, it’s a big, beautiful world, with lots of opportunities to empower the people around us.

And even people who live on the other side of the globe!

Yes, we can be good, and kind and generous with each other. We have to be! There’s really no other way to live.

BUT…we can also reach out and help each other be prosperous.

We can help each other find the skills to reach a wider audience with products and services that can change the world…one person at a time.

And we can become wealthy doing it.

And if you like…you can use that wealth to lift up others. Or buy really cool stuff…from people that will appreciate your business.

My Christmas wish for you – besides health, love and joy, is to grow.

To be a little uncomfortable with where you are right now.

And find the awareness that you are more than what you are living.

That you are capable of doing great things.

To find the self worth and desire to take some risks.

And the commitment to see them through.

And the sense of humor to laugh at the mistakes you will surely make.

And the community that will love and support you through your journey.

The skills to become wealthy…in every sense of the word.

I’m part of such a community.

So are other people.

Run with mine. Or find another good one and run with them.

Peace, Love And Prosperity,
Larry

If you’re not making any home business mistakes, you’re not really in business.

But if you’re making these two, it could keep you from getting into profit.

Watch this entire video as soon as you can. OK, you can skip the first two minutes if you aren’t a fan of juggling. 😉

But for real, there are a whole bunch of people who think their home business is made by doing things that just don’t contribute to their bottom line.

And that’s what home business is…

A business.

If you want to succeed, avoid these two home business mistakes…

1. Treating your online activities like a popularity contest, instead of a way to get prospects, sign ups and sales.

Yes, you’re supposed to do things that increase your visibility. You’re supposed to get likes, and comments, and shares. You’re supposed to improve your Edge Rank.

But too many people think that’s the endgame.

To my knowledge, there has never been anyone that’s become wealthy because they have the most likes.

At the end of it, you have to position your offer to people ready to say “yes” to it.

And if all you do is skittle around with statuses, you never get to that spot.

2. Criticizing What Other People Do In Their Home Business

Yes, people do a lot of silly things. They always will.

That doesn’t mean you’re supposed to pile on.

In fact when you do it doesn’t make you an authority. It makes you someone who isn’t safe to be around.

And more often than not the things you criticize people for are things you’ve done yourself…or are still doing.

If you’re doing anything at all. In my experience, most people who have time to make fun of other people’s stuff aren’t doing much of anything themselves.

Don’t be that person who makes those two ginormous home business mistakes.

Be the person who is working. And is great to be around.
