Busting the MYTH of Be Do Have

We've all heard it - "Oh if only I had X (eg. money), then I'd do X (travel, buy house/car/goods) and then I'd be X (happy etc.)".    We live our lives believing that we can't BE something (like happy or successful) unless we HAVE something (like money, the best job, the best car etc).  In other words, to BE something and DO something you first must HAVE something.

Well, I'm here to tell you that this is just NOT TRUE!!  Someone lied to us.  We've got it all wrong, upside down, inside out and back the front!

This is a well known fact among my circle of influence, and in the circles of successful business people and entrepreneurs around the world, and one that I want to share with you because it has made a huge difference in my life and I know it can do for you too.

To start with we need to flip this:

You must firstly BE something and DO something before you can HAVE something!

Did that just flick a light switch on in your brain?  I hope so, because that is what it did to me when i first heard it explained this way.  It was like "Ahhhhhh I get it now!"

So how do you BE and DO?

BE-ing doesn't mean that you have to BE the end product, having achieved the result, having 'arrived', but it does mean that you must be on the footpath, on the journey.  It means looking at who do you want to BE. Examine what thoughts, attitudes and actions that person would take....and DO that.


If you put this principle to work in your life, Work harder on yourself than you do on your business, or on pursuing your goals and before you know it you will be achieving those goals and going on to set even bigger brighter grander goals for yourself and your life.

One more thing to say on this topic:  MYTH BUSTED!!!
