As I read the following stories of world-renowned people who have succeeded to the ultimate level in their respective fields, I said to myself, "All they had when they started their journey was belief in themselves because they overcame some major obstacles to succeed."  I am a true believer in reading success stories to find the inspiration and consistent motivation needed to achieve your personal WHY in life.  As I have written in past issues, you need a mastermind group around you in order to truly flourish.  When I first said that I was going to build an international business when I was only 26 years old and achieve enormous success, everyone thought that I had lost my mind but what kept me fueled up was reading stories of other achievers and how they struggled to reach their achievements.  As many of you know, I went on to fulfill my dream and now I am building an international personal development business that will help many people achieve their dreams. The following are stories that I know will help you realize that all you need to do is BELIEVE in your ultimate outcome and you WILL achieve it!

FAILURES...BUT NOT QUITE

* The teacher of famous opera singer Enrico Caruso said Caruso had no voice at all and couldn't sing.

* Eighteen publishers turned down Richard Bach's 10,000 word story about a soaring seagull before MacMillan finally published it in 1970. By 1975, "Jonothan Livingston Seagull" had sold more than 7 million copies in the U.S. alone.

* Thomas Edison was thrown out of school in the early grades when the teachers decided he couldn't do the work.

* R. H. Macy failed seven times before his store in New York caught on.

* President Harry S. Truman went broke in the men's clothing store he started.

* When Bob Dylan performed at a high school talent show, his classmates booed him off the stage.

Now you need to visualize your own story in this article and what will it say?  You have the ability to design your own story RIGHT NOW or you can allow others to tell you what you can do! Remember, you do not want to be part of the "Should have, would have, IF Club," which years from now, you will stop and say to yourself, "I should have, would have, if only I knew, etc.!  You have the keys to succeed in your hands right now. Make a decision today to become a success story and not just a statistic! You need to be proud of your dreams and you need a mastermind team to verbally express your mission.

It is my personal opinion that there are two words that are the driving force behind your personally achieving your ultimate outcome and your WHY in Life.  These two words are the most powerful words that you can and will ever speak to yourself about any situation - "CAN" and "CAN'T"  As I've said many times, "CAN" is a word of power; whereas, "CAN'T" is a word of retreat.

You have the power to decide if you wish to ACHIEVE or RETREAT, because when you speak victory words such as "I CAN", you will attain whatever you set out to do regardless of what others are saying to you.  In another article, I made reference to famous entrepreneurs such as Ray Kroc, Fred Astaire, Walt Disney and Dick Clark.  I can attest to the fact that if you spoke with each of them individually, they would tell you that in the beginning of their journey the majority of people told them ----you CAN'T do that!  Fortunately, they disregarded these statements and listened to their inner voice, who said, "Oh yes I CAN!" 

The key in life is to realize the most important person who speaks to you every day is you on the inside!  You need to review your WHY in Life and see if your are on track toward achieving your WHY, or are you on a detour because someone told you, "You CAN'T do that so stop dreaming and just forget about it!"  As a personal mindset builder, you need to speak to your inner person and say to yourself, "Today I will take another productive stride!"

Each morning, I visualize myself winning.  My personal outcome for each day is to build a community of people who we can inspire and motivate all of us to make the world a better place in which to live.  I have to admit if it was not for my inner person saying, "John you CAN do it! YOU CAN do it!"  I may not be in the position of success that I am today.  Some days it is still difficult, but guess what -- we ARE doing it!

In summary, you need to ask yourself a very honest question, "Am I listening to my victory words from the inside or am letting the outer defeat (loser) words control my outcome in life?"
