The Most Important Trait Every Entrepreneur Needs To Achieve Their Goals & Dreams

Published

I recently finished another book by the infamous Dan Kennedy. For those of you who have not heard of Dan Kennedy, he’s one of the top business and marketing coaches in the world, and if you’re somewhat interested in entrepreneurship, I highly suggest you pick up one of his books (He has written over 30, search Amazon and I’m sure you’ll find a variety).

The book I finished recently was his latest masterpiece, entitled “Wealth Attraction in the New Economy”, and really opened my eyes up to what it takes to be successful and financially independent. The question this books answers in detail is:

What kind of people does wealth gravitate towards?

What types of beliefs and characteristics must you have in order to always be surrounded by wealth?

The book outlines what type of person attracts wealth by listing off 27 “wealth magnets” and detailing why they are essential characteristics to develop.

I’m going to share with you my favorite wealth magnet in detail and what just might be the thing holding you back from success. The most important trait that all entrepreneurs must learn to develop in order to achieve their goals is (drumroll please….)…Courage.

 

Wealth Rarely Rewards Wimps…You Must Act With Courage

Look around at all the successful millionaire entrepreneurs and professionals out there. I guarantee you will not find a single wimp. They all are strong and are not afraid to go after what they want. They do not let their insecurities and fears stop them from achieving their goals. And that, my friend, is what has allowed wealth to consistently stick to them like a magnet throughout their life.

Listen, you will never achieve any of your goals or accomplish anything worth talking about if you don’t act with a little courage. A little boldness. Have brass balls, as Dan Kennedy likes to say. The majority of the people today are too scared to go after what they truly want. They fear all the dangers and possible mishaps of taking a risk in their lives, so they sit back and play it safe. This is no way to live, and playing it safe is just another word for being a wimp.

Do you think the Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg’s of the world got to where they are by sitting back and letting other people decide their fate for them? Absolutely not! They took bold action, took tremendous risks, and put it all on the line. What they did takes courage. The courage to leave the security of college or a well paying job to go out and start your own business. Yes, it’s easy to look at how things worked out for those two and think, “well they just got lucky”. But the fact of the matter is, most people are too scared to give themselves the opportunity to “get lucky”. They don’t have the courage to take a risk and take some bold action.

courage-beyond-fear

The same goes for a lot of other professions as well. This wealth attraction principle can apply to professional athletes, actors, aspiring comedians, and even musicians (especially musicians!). Most musicians have to spend years working their way up to the top, and if they get there, chances are they will not remain famous for long. Only a select few of special musicians and bands remain in the spotlight long enough to say they achieved the dream. It takes courage to put in all that effort, and persist until you get to your end goal. Most people don’t have what it takes. Early on, they decide that it will be too hard, and break up the band while they are young to go get a corporate job, because that’s where the security is. It’s also where the wimps and the average folks of the world hang out.

I’m not saying if you don’t try to start a band and give up 10 years of your life dedicated to it then you are a bad person. But, on the contrary, if you have a have a dream and you don’t go after it, you are only cheating yourself, and all the people whose lives you could possibly make a positive impact on. You are settling for a life that is not what you truly desired, and that is a shame that I hate to see happen. I don’t know you personally, but I hate to see you settling for a life in a cubicle when you’ve always dreamed of being on stage, or on the baseball field, or at the head of a company.

Yes, going after these dreams are not easy and they will take work. But the first step to achieving the dream is working up the courage to cash in all your chips and put it all on the line to accomplish it. You must set a goal and do whatever it takes to achieve it. Most people do not have what it takes. They are too scared and think they cannot do it. Chances are, they can, but they never will because they will never allow themselves the opportunity to try. This is actually better for you, because it means less competition for you and a clearer path to success! Take advantage of the fact that this world is full of wimps. Go out and create something special, and live your dream!

 

Make a bold decision, and act with courage!

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.

I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.

I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.

As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.

I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness

Everything legal must come through the matrix

I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.

Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.

The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.

Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.

The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be. 

Every matrix has an incubation process

While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.

In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.

What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.

However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.

Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time. 

“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier

You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time

When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.

The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?

First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.

In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.

For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.

For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.

Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.

You must manifest your greatness

As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.

I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.

There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.

Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.

When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
