Today I'm going to talk to you about mindset. Nothing matters in this business if your mind is not right. After losing our son, I was broken every way possible, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. When I heard 98% of this business is between your two ears, I knew I had a real problem and I had to do something and I had to work on me. So what did I do? Well, I started reading every single day. It is important every day that you read 15 minutes a day to improve yourself. This business is a business of self improvement. The better of a person you become, the better your checking account is going to look. I had to want something different. We were sick and tired of being sick and tired. We are here to help you succeed and we know what it takes. But I can't want it more than you want it. One of the things I had to learn is how do I turn my roadblocks into rocket fuels for success. This business, I can promise you, will be a challenge for you as it has been for me. However, you can get through the hard. And if you can get through the hard, you can make a lot of money. You can find financial freedom and have more time with your family. There are going to be challenges in this business, but we are here to help you. We have been exactly where you are remembering. However, this is the key. Every single roadblock you hit, every obstacle that stands in your way, is an opportunity for growth in disguise. Don't say I can't do this or I don't have time or I don't have the money for leads. When you do this, you are going to be putting walls and you're not going to be able to get past those brick walls that you're putting up in your mind. To be honest, guys, this was one of the hardest parts for me in this business. My mindset, keeping my mind right on those days when it was really hard. It is in these moments of life when it's hard that it's testing you. And you're gonna have to ask yourself the same question I did, and that was, how bad do I really want this? So how do you do this? How do you get through these hard times? How do you change your mind? How did I change my mind? How did I find success? Well, you have to learn how to shift your mindset from seeing every single obstacle and being a victim of your own circumstances, like I was, to finding a solution. Right? So as an example, how can I find money for leads? How can I make time in my already busy schedule? How can I figure out what to write or how can I learn this business? Asking yourself these questions open the doors to help you create momentum and find solutions. And that's what we're here to do, to help you find solutions and to find success in this business. We are constantly learning new things and it can seem very overwhelming sometimes. It can seem like you have so much to learn and how are you going to learn it all? Well, you're not going to learn it all in one day, so don't try to learn it all at once. You don't need to conquer this mountain in one day. We're going to guide you step by step through the process and this training platform is exactly what this is going to do. We're going to help you step by step and make this as simple as possible. Do not over complicate the simple. We know what it takes to win here. We have shortcutted the shortcut as much as we can. The truth is life will always gonna throw you some challenges, right? We all have challenges and they're gonna throw them your way. Especially in this business when you first get going or in something new. We have two options. You have two options. You can either find these obstacles as an excuse or you can find a reason to fight, win, do what we ask you to do and find financial freedom for yourself and your family. Today, all you need to do is the next step. Today that's what we're going to focus on. So the next step and the next step and the next step. You're gradually going to find success and win for your family. We are so excited you're here. Make the commitment today to work on you because if your mindset is not right, you will never make it in this business. And I too had to look myself in the mirror and ask myself, how bad did I want this and did I want it hard enough that I would change me? So you too need to ask yourself that question. How bad do you want it? And are you willing to work on you commit today, 15 minutes a day is all it takes to help you become a better you. Read 15 minutes a day and my favorite book to start off with. If you're a brand new agent, it's going to be the Energy bus. That book changed my life. I learned that I had to take the will. You too will have to take the will and control your mind. Let's get ready to rock and roll and we'll move on to the next step.
