The No-Code Advantage

Marketing is a dance. It is a seduction game within the mind.

The ultimate thing we all want is TO FEEL WANTED. No one feels wanted when they are told what to do, when to do it and why to do it. This is why people rebel against authority.

Marketing is different in that you are trying to COMPEL someone to do or get something with A FIRE in their heart and soul.

You can't manipulate, dictate or coerce. You must become a seductive player inside of this game in order to succeed.

So:

Where in your life do you need to become a "marketer" instead of a "dictator?"

There is always some form of "excess energy" inside of your life that needs dealt with.

Ignoring and not dealing with this excess energy can lead to pent-up anger, frustration and even rage.

When the opportunity presents itself to let this energy out - take it. Find a way today to preempt that untimely release of energy through action.

Trust me, you'll feel much better :)

You are selling yourself short at some level or another right now. There is success, money, love and purpose that you are leaving on the table, whether you realize it or not.

In my case, I didn't look as in-depth as I should for apartments and houses, but I also discovered that I have so much work to do in many areas of my life and that I could be achieving a much higher level of success everywhere.

Is the same true with you?

Where in your life is there "more" available than you think? What are you leaving on the table by choosing to slack off?

How do you respond when the heat and pressure "turns up" in your life? Do you crush it, or do you crumble underneath it?

Oftentimes we respond differently to different kinds of pressure and heat. Perhaps you buckle under the pressure of relationship "heat" but you crush the pressure of financial problems. Maybe you're a bad-ass when it comes to the pressure of overwhelming tasks at work but you can't handle the pressure of a simple sales call.

Where in your life do you:

1. Crush the pressure you face, and

2. Crumble under the pressure you face?

We all create fake stories out of nothing and cause ourselves anxiety. Yes, you also do this whether you think so or not.

In my case, the simple situation of forgetting a quarter for the shopping cart at Aldi sent me into this loop of stress and worry, when it ultimately was completely unfounded and ridiculous. 

So, the question for you is this:

- Where in your life do you make up silly or fake stories, causing yourself unnecessary levels of anxiety and stress?

Everything imaginable is negotiable.

We all go through our lives and tend to accept things for the way they are. Sometimes we forget to question or challenge why something is the way it is. This could be a routine, a law, a rule, and way of doing things, etc. The bottom line is that these things shape our behaviors without us realizing it.

You might be leaving so much on the table without even realizing it. Negotiating is about both parties walking away with a better deal than before, so where in your life could you simply ask for more?

Where could you re-negotiate something that will serve you better or get you more of what you want?

When we think ahead constantly, it can lead to negative though loops, which are almost always destructive towards what we want.

The beautiful thing about a negative thought loop is that you have the power to stop it in its tracks, redirect the thought or feeling you're having and choose a different pattern. Now, this is much easier said than done.

Even though you can work on this and try to correct it in yourself over time, the thing I've realized is that they never end. The negative thought loops never end - but this shouldn't discourage you. They never end because there is never a shortage of situations in which these can crop up. But the important thing to remember is that when a negative thought loop is presented, it is also an opportunity for a positive thought loop as well.

Question: Where in your life do you recognize negative thought loops appear over and over?

Russell Brunson - know him? If you don't just Google him.

As it turns out, we use the same stuff to deploy and use our apps. NBD :)

Although this isn't earth-shattering information, it is significant because many of us have ideas or want to do things in life which we perceive as "risky" or "dumb" or "scary" when in reality it could be a REALLY GOOD IDEA.

Instead of following in the footsteps of giants, you could BE THE GIANT and allow people to follow your lead.

So - where in your life do you know you need to finally take that risk or jump into that "thing?"
