As it’s Sunday, just a brief post today. Last chance reminder to vote in the Poll before it closes later today and I start making preparations for the first video.

Well, the other Gary (one R version!) has a post everyone should pop over and read. Click on his BlogRoll entry to have a read. It’s titled “Buzzards and Seagulls” and if the title doesn’t intrigue you enough to have a read, I don’t know what will!!

The topic is all to do with the doom merchants (or negative thinkers) who go out of their way to rubbish others rather than focus their efforts on something constructive. At all costs you must ignore them and remain focused on your path.

I mentioned previously, that I am a big advocate and follower of Tony Robbins, the Peak Performance Coach. One of his core philosophies in ensuring your success in any field is the peer group you associate yourself with. If you surround yourself with friends who continually “see the glass as half empty” (pessimistic by nature) then they are hardly going offer to words of encouragement and support. As friends, they won’t mean you harm but will only see the downside of what you are doing and the potential risks. Mix with these people long enough, and in particular discuss your plans with them, and they will gradually chip away at your drive and desire and the seeds of doubt will be sewn in your own mind. This slow trickle of lack of support (or worse) will eventually undermine most people and then you will give up. It is crucial to mix with like minded people else you run the risk of been worn down.

These people are “red-lighters”, and sometimes unknowingly they can hold you back. You need to surround yourselves with “green-lighters”. This is why it is crucial to get involved with a community, or blog, like this where we can all support one another, we all have a common goal and our collective enthusiasm will see us to success. Hope you get the message:

MINDEST is a, no THE, crucial factor in your future success.  

Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend and see you tomorrow.
