I asked my mentor what does it take to be successful?
When you are not seeing any success.

What do you do when your back is against the wall? And you need £20,000 by next week to pay for your bills? What do you do when you are in a desperate situation? Where all the odds are stacked up against you?

How do you continue going forward when you start to have doubts about your success? How do you keep thinking positive in times where you are getting desperate? And when the mind starts to have doubts if it's going to work for you.

The best advice is to get up One More Time.

Here are some tips from my mentor, when he was in debt and lost all his money on Forex Trading. And had to start from the beginning and rebuild his life and family.

When you are in a disparate situation The Fight or Flight response is triggered. Which is intended to help you survive a dangerous situation by preparing you. To either run for your life or fight for your life (thus the term "fight or flight"). So get ready to stand up and fight for your life.

Establish in your mind that you are a leader of a huge organization. You have what it takes to succeed bless your family and get up one more time. Challenges are the fertilizer for good character.

Change your Life Around

Challenges in life is where you do all your growing. You have got what it takes. My mentor told me that words are very powerful such as "I believe in you." Your drive has pushed you to this point, you have what it takes. This will be part of your story.Be a great leader for your organization and team.

Be persistent, do it in the face of adversity. It's a beautify thing to watch people planting seeds and building relationships. Reach out I believe in you.

Keep sowing the seeds, what can you do for people, ask them how you can you help them. And what are they looking for, be mindful of others.

Your focus is where your energy flows, stick your neck out. Send an email to people who are dead and buried. You never know who might need your offer or business. Dig deep into your soul have a moment for yourself.

The Thrid Metric is to add some balance into your life. Add some form of meditation into your lifestyle. A good start is when we wake up in the morning is not to start the day. By looking at your Smart Phone take one minute to breathe deeply. To say thank you for what you are grateful for.
