Mad Scientist

Hey Stellar Fans,

I had produced a video two years ago that gave a brief answer to: What constitutes a person having, it? My response that followed was also documented in an earlier post of this blog. So, I am not going to repeat myself. I am however going to embellish on it.

Would you consider Tiger Woods to be an experienced golfer? How about Lance Armstrong, is he an experienced cyclist? Without knowing either of those two personally, would you say they are passionate about what they do? I would have to answer in the affirmative for all of the above. How about this aspect…….. What do you think the competitions thought process was, in regards to competing against these individuals?

Begin to develop first the mindset of having competitors that fear competing against you. This shift in focus will now provide purpose and direction to your actions when nobody is watching.

Rahm Emanuel recently overcame a lot of adversity to become the Mayor of Chicago.  I want to introduce some media quotes that were used by his competitors after he won:

"Running against Rahm felt like waking up every morning and running face-first into a gale-force hurricane," Ken Snyder, media strategist for Gery Chico, told the Chicago News Cooperative.

Carol Ronen, a Democratic committee member in Chicago's 48th ward and Emanuel supporter, told the Chicago Tribune that it was like Emanuel "had a nuclear bomb and everybody else had a fly swatter."

“The show of force by Emanuel -- known for his aggressive style and often profane mouth –“
You can read the full article by following this link:

Now that is what you want your competitors thinking when they have to face you. Taking on that mindset, how can you NOT set in motion, actions that would lead to outcomes of your goals. Declare WAR on yourself and go to battle. You have heard that we are our own worst enemies, right? Well then, wake up, smack yourself in the face, and stop wasting time.

I write to you today amidst a haze produced by dry ice and potions. My laboratory is filled with beakers and colored chemicals. I am a mad scientist and my competitors wish my early death.

Ambition

Hey Stellar Fans,
I am putting this information out there because I want to help you, ironic because, I need help too. I have learned to live a passionate life, I have a lot of potential, I am committed to my goals, and I am not anywhere near where I want to be. This is okay, I’m not discouraged, life is a progressive course with many highs and lows and bends in the road. There will be setbacks that can make aspirations of wanting more vanish in a second. I have learned that most people don’t even “hope” anymore. What is the use? If I put myself out there and fail, then I am a failure, right? NO!!! The most successful people in our culture have tried many times before they reached any level of success.

I have come up with a personal manifesto, if you will, on the beliefs I hold on “WHY PEOPLE FAIL.” These beliefs were not developed from a lifetime of studying success or failures. Most of these beliefs came from studying myself, and the individuals I have been fortunate enough to be in contact with. Personally, I failed far more then I have succeeded. I have seen internal pain manifest in tears, I have dealt with stories of tragedy, comedy, etcetera, and I am compelled to share with you first, why I believe I am qualified to have such a “manifesto”:

ME: I grew up in an abusive household. I last saw my Father when I was 8 or 9 as three police officers wrestled him to the ground in our living room. One of my persistent memories of my father was when two of my siblings and I were eating at the kitchen table with my father to my left. The telephone was on the kitchen table between my father and I and it rang, (I will never forget this) I tried to grab it and my Father brushed my hand away, I thought this was a fun game. It rang again and I tried to grab it, he brushed my hand away a second time. At this point, I have a big smile on my face and I feel like I'm going to win this little father/son, cat and mouse game. It rings yet again and I get the phone off the hook (even at that age I was very crafty), the caller asks for my Father, I hand him the phone, he grabs it with his right hand and his left hand appears out of the corner of my eye swinging towards me landing square on my nose.... HARD. I fall off my chair, run to the bathroom holding my nose from spewing out anymore blood, after all staining the carpet could warrant getting hit again. I'm now in the bathroom looking in the mirror at myself, my gaze drifts slightly up and to the left in the mirror to see my mother standing there, no words spoken, no actions taken, eyes locked. I love my Mom and eventually she got us out of that household, but I just can't forget seeing her standing there... and nothing.
I have read, heard, and have seen many scenarios that were much worse than how I grew up, but the truth is the truth to the individual. I love the line in the artist Fifty Cent’s Song: "death gotta be easy, cuz life is hard. It'll leave you physically, mentally, & emotionally scar'd." I have multiple knife scars on my hands (defense wounds), chest (didn't get to defend that one), two scars on my forehead: One, attacked by a Doberman Pinscher; Two, fell in the bathtub and bent the faucet. Two scars on the back of my head (visible if I cut my hair short enough), and a permanent bend in my nose (baseball bat), I think nothing of getting stitched up or taking them out. I have seen my mom and older brother violated so many times that it felt like the sun rising in the east.... just another day.
Though these are the experiences that taught me what I thought to be the facts of life, I still realized the possibility that life is beautiful and achievement is possible. I have outlined below some of the content provided in our seminars. So with no more gilding the lilly:
WHY PEOPLE FAIL:

1. Not yet disgusted with how things are.

2. Definite major purpose in life is unclear, not concise, not measurable, and not radically realistic.
 
3. Inability to learn from past mistakes or constantly in a state of denial.

4. Inability to project future scenarios and strategize for all possibilities good or bad.

5. Un-reasonable or no strategy to over-come obstacles (they come as a test to prove you are worthy of your desired outcome).
6. Lack of commitment and tendency to lean on crutches (excuses) to the desired outcome.

7. Insufficient support structure, ridicule from trusted sources, resentment or envy from others that infiltrates the mind.

8. Improper attitude/outlook on the reality of life.

P + E = IT

Hey,

Have you ever said: "That person has it." Maybe you didn't say it but you knew what you meant. During a conversation late one night a few years ago, my friend Bree asked me: what constitutes someone that has "it"?

What she meant is that there are certain people in life that have it and there are those that don't. Whether you have witnessed this yourself and said: "so and so is a born........." or someone made that statement about you, it does exist. Listening to Anthony Robbins was so much fun for me all the way back to high school. My Mother gave me a set of tapes titled "Personal Power", and I was hooked. I remember him saying that he was fascinated from a young age at what makes people successful.

Throughout my life so far I have been fortunate enough to hear people say things to me that hint towards me having "it". I have also choosen to begin a business venture with someone that has also heard those comments. So if the two of us have "it", then what do we have and how can I pass that on to others for their benefit? Well that is not easy to answer and I will do my best throughout my blogs to do so. In the meantime....... When Bree asked me that question, I immediately answered: "When you put a person in the element they were meant to be in, when you have passion plus experience equals it. P + E = IT." Without any hesitation that was my answer. I know that I come up with some great things and that one has stuck with me. I've heard if you want to love what you do, find out a way to make money from your hobby. Why is that? It's because you would be passionate about it. When you are passionate about something, your entire constitution changes, now add experience that develops competence and you have "IT".

As always I can be found at or near http://www.stellarremix.com/. Follow the YouTube link and watch the video titled "Over the top 2" and you will see first hand my initial answer to Bree's question caught on video.

I desire you to chase after those dreams of yours and have the intelligence to turn them into goals, overcome the obstacles and achieve "IT".

Belief & Assumptions

Hey,

There are a lot of things that you assume, better yet, believe. I'm certain that you believe the sun will rise in the East tomorrow and set in the West. You believe that your name is (insert your name here). Your brain actually stores information that it believes in a different area then something it doubts. Think of something that you believe in wholeheartedly; now think of something that you are not sure about. Is there a difference in the way you picture those two different aspects of your life? Do they sound different, feel different?

I believe in personal achievment, I believe in having someone to model to obtain the best results. If you are here because you earn a living selling something or you realize that everyone is in sales, this will help you.


When Napoleon Hill spoke of his meeting with Andrew Carnegie, he gives a hint into the power of belief. After briefing Napoleon Hill on the benefits of a new success philosophy, Andrew Carnegie requests that Napoleon Hill write out a statement that he is to read into the mirror to himself; twice daily. His instructions include that this statement: "will allow you to condition your mind so thoroughly that nothing in the world can stop you from completing the task...." Napoleon Hill, after writing down the statement questions the possibilities that he can never achieve such a task. To which, Andrew Carnegie replies: "well of course I know you're not going to be able to do that. Unless and until you believe it, but if you believe it, you will."

In a sales situation, in any situation for that matter, a strong belief will overtake any doubters. You must get yourself to the point that you not only believe that you can accomplish what you set out to do, but that you will do it in such a way that it becomes an event so rare, duplicating it would be like facing a gale-force hurricane.

To accomplish this level of belief in yourself and your abilities you must do as Mr. Hill did. Pick out a person on the totem pole that represents a step (or two or three or all the way up) above you. Then make it your personal mission to overtake that level of production, earnings, status, ect. I have included the exact script that Andrew Carnegie requested Napoleon Hill read at the end of this blog.

When you begin with this undertaking, you will be able to tell that the feeling of belief is not there. Do not let absent feelings deter your mission. Those feelings will come; a person cannot disagree with a philosophy they live. So live it! Give it tangible form by putting it in writing, post pictures of it everywhere, and consume your mind with it. Not only will you come to believe it, you will operate under the assumption that nothing in the world can stop you.

It is my assumption that if you are here, this information definitely will benefit you. If I can be of any further assistance, visit http://www.stellarremix.com/. I wish you the desire to take action on your dreams, overcome your obstacles and experience the feeling of triumph.


Andrew Carnegie's script to Napoleon Hill:
(Looking at your self in the mirror :) "Andrew Carnegie, I will not only equal your achievements in life but I will challenge you at the post and pass you at the grandstand."
