This is Dian Graziosi. Welcome back to the weekly blog. Hey, I love the way Dean Graziosi is growing. You guys are just rocking and rolling. I love reading all the posts. Thanks for all the comments on my new show. I appreciate it. In fact, I filmed another show that I can't wait to show you guys. It's completely different. It's pretty cool. So I'll share that with you as soon as we're done. Hey, the blitz is going. The blitzkrieg is going unbelievably well. I mean, we have so many people opting in and don't dare miss an email that comes to you if you're just joining the site. If you just got my book and this is the first time@deangrazioc.com and just watching a blog, I suggest you go watch some more. Read and digest. Ask the questions you want, but make sure you don't miss a single email coming from me over the next couple weeks. Don't ever miss an email, but especially the next couple of weeks because we are just flooding you with the information to get you to take action, change your life and get results. And remember, I never say this is easy. I never say you get to open my book and money pops out. That's just not what it's like. There's no such thing as getting rich, quick and super easy, but with a recipe for success, with confidence, with support, like you get at this site with my Real Estate Success Academy with the action steps we give you, your opportunity to make money in real estate is not only real, but it's right now, and you need to take action with it. Okay, I have a little assignment for you guys this week, one that I learned Anita posted someplace. What did I learn at my last 25k group? I think at the MySpace page. And by the way, if you visit my MySpace page, I only go there once in a While. I'm@dg.com every day. My space is kind of run between me and some of the people that work in our office. And also the same goes with Facebook, but maybe. Anita, I saw you right on Facebook to share something I learned at my last 25k group. If you don't know what that is, it's a group of businessmen that I pay $25,000 a year. And we go there and we brainstorm on how we can get better results for our clients and how we can become better people. And the better we become, the better and more things we get to share with you. So here's what I Learned. Here's a task for the week. Every time we do something in life and we try something new, if we fail or we do something we're not so happy with, or we think we're stuck in a rut, or we think we have nothing good in our life going on, we forget all the great things we've done in the past, we focus on what went wrong, and we focus on maybe the future won't be so bright, but I got a foolproof way that has worked for me. And this is one of the things I learned at my last meeting. So here's what I want you to do. I want you to make a Yes, I can Listen. Every time that you think I can't make money in real estate, or maybe now is not the right time, or I don't have money, or I have too many obstacles, or I have too many people telling me I can't, I want you to go back to the Yes, I can list. And what's the Yes, I can list? I want you to list 50 things. And I did this exercise. It's unbelievable and empowering as heck. I want you to write down 50 things that you've done that before they were done, you weren't sure if you could, you hoped to do them. And that can mean any accomplishment that, that you were proud of, whether it's winning track and field in high school, going to the problem with the girl you wanted to, marrying the person you wanted to, or the man or girl you wanted to, the job you wanted to, another deal you've done anything that you said before it was done, you were like, I wonder if I can. And you stepped up, you took control, you made it happen. But guess what? Now you've kind of forgot about it. You forgot about that accomplishment. You forgot about the things on a Yes I can list, and you're worrying about the things that you maybe can't do in the future. I'm here to tell you folks, if you want to make a change in your life, you can do anything. Even in the midst of lots of obstacles, in the midst of things going wrong in your life, you might be on a five year run where everything that could have went wrong did. I'm sorry to hear that. But I want to tell you, you can make the next five years amazing. Use all that as empowerment to say, I don't want the next five to be like the last five. Make your yes, I can list. Write down 50. Not 25, not even 49. 50 things you've done and accomplished. And every time you get off track, you look back at those and remind yourself and give yourself the feeling. Here's one last thing I know this is a long blog. Do you know your mind knows no difference between reality and what you perceive as reality? That's a true statement. So if you in your mind relive the feelings of accomplishment you had on those 50 items, you know a girl that everybody or a guy that everybody said was hard to date and you dated that person or that first job where they said there was 50 people for that job, you'll never get it. And you got it. How did you feel the next day? Let your mind live that you don't know the difference. You'll get to feel those emotions over bridge that empowerment feeling, that positive energy and place it on the things you want to do for tomorrow. And there's nothing that can stop you. I'm Dean Graziosi. Thanks for watching this blog. I'll see you next week.
