Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
moments in your life that take your breath away.
Chapter 7 Organized Planning.
This was a tough chapter for me. It forced me to look
at my weaknesses.
Even the title of this chapter scares me, because I
know that being organized and planning are two of my
greatness weaknesses. At least now I know that it’s
just part of being blue.
Planning is a huge chore for me, I can do it but I
always procrastinate until it has to be done.
The second paragraph of this chapter emphasises the
importance of the Mastermind Group……. We are so
fortunate to be members of this group, where we can
all grow and develop our skills together;… and as
individuals while we maintain perfect harmony amongst
ourselves and every member of the group.
I realize that no individual has everything that they
need to be successful on their own… It takes a team
working together and helping each other overcome their weaknesses. We all have different strengths and weak
nesses; and even though I feel that organized planning
is one of my greatest weaknesses, I have nothing to
fear, because I know that others on the team have the
strengths that I don’t and I will continue to grow and
learn simply by being part of this Mastermind Group.
We already have a sound plan in place to accumulate
wealth and I know that my job is to follow it and not
quit…… If you give up before your goal has been
reached, you are a quitter.
“A quitter never wins and a winner never quits”
I love that phrase, because that is one of my
strengths. I’m NOT a quitter. It’s just not part
of who I am and it makes me feel good that I can
bring this strength to the group.
Self-analysis is not an easy thing to do, but it’s
imperative to achieve success and to determine if
you are moving forward. I found the list of 31 major
causes of failure fascinating.
It showed me exactly what my personal weaknesses are
and what I need to continuously strive to improve.
Thank you Michael for your incredible leadership and
for the plan that you have created.
I have chosen to follow the Mentoring for Free plan,
and will continue to put it into action by following
the system with persistence.
“Winners NEVER Quit”

Chapter 7 — Organized Planning
WOW! Is this a long chapter or WHAT!!!
So far, all the chapters are tying together like
waves on a beach washing further and further onto
the shores.
I never understood how this worked before.
Everything begins with Desire. As we live and feel
and watch our lives unfold, we suddenly develop a
Desire. If we are persistent and fighters, we do
not allow this Desire to Die from the beatings of
life.
So this Desire becomes stronger and stronger and is
taken from the form of Vibrations and Energy to its
concrete form. It journeys through to the Synthetic
Imagination that has pulled together all ideas, old
concepts and plans and then finally, actual PLANS
are created and organized in what Hill calls the
workshop of the mind.
So, how do you build Definite, Practical Plans when
you have never successfully built a large downline
before? You ally yourselves with SUCCESSFUL people
who have, and join a mastermnd gourp — the Cleanse.
Now Hill says we must first decide what WE will offer
the group for their cooperation. In our case it would
be to offer determination and bulldoggedness to be
open, to grow, and to Participate in some form or
fashion on the Cleanse.
And Ultimately, to show up and turn in Lesson Plans.
Your positive vibrations will help propel the group
just a little bit more.
Now, something important about plans. Perhaps the
first set of plans doesn’t work for us. Do we quit?
NO! Craft new ones. Quit after Failing at these? NO!
Many of us fail multiple times in MLM because plans
were not sound. The advise we were given DOES NOT
WORK for 92% of us. Do we quit? NO!!! And because
those of us on this call did not quit,,,, we found a
sound plan that works and is proven–The MFF system.
The world is full of men who made fortunes, lost it
and Quit… Had they created new plans and attached
them with the Burning Desire to bounce back, there
is no question they would.
Education cannot save them.Hill mentions men of great
fortunes who lost their fortunes due to faulty plans
while Ford, of less education endured wealthier than
they, BECAUSE HE DIDN’T QUIT!
Now many people see men and women of great triumphs
as if there were no defeats….. They overlook the
defeats. This reminds me of people who say those that
have great success and fortunes are “Lucky”.
They say this because it makes them feel better, that
way they can act like it is out of theri control and therefore, they don’t have to do anything about it.
Or they’ll say you can’t make money without money.
This is also a Cop-out.
There are Leaders and there are Followers. The
Leaders were successful Followers first. Sometimes
the follower expects the same compensation as the
leader. This is class envy.
Great leaders were once INTELLIGENT FOLLOWERS.Only
pompous ignorant people think they can be leaders
without being followers.
It takes courage to be coachable and accept guidance
and constuctive criticism. An Intelligent Follower
is a GREAT Leader of people because he knows how his
followers think and feel. And what they need, just
as he needed it.
A Leader cannot be sloppy,lazy, disorganized. They
will not gain the respect of their followers and
other leaders. BLUES especially need serious work
in this area. I know I did.
Let’s examine the Major Causes of Failure in Leader
ship.Hill mentions the Inability to Organize Details.
I learned that this also includes relegating details
to capable followers.
In MLM this means giving your downline more
responsibility. This will help them grow and become
Leaders in their own right. If your company has the
right plan, then you are rewarded generously to create
these Leaders. You are not penalized for it.
The last point I want to address in the arena of Major
Causes of Failure In Leadership, are two…. Lack of
Imagination is a hindrance because it impedes meeting emergencies and creating sound plans for guiding his
followers efficiently through those emergencies.
The last is Disloyalty. In my mind, Disloyalty is
one of the Worst traits one could have…. Without
integrity one has nothing. Once Disloyal, one is
Always viewed as Disloyal.
In conclusion, Don’t Quit, Protect DESIRE, be a
Follower FIRST with PATIENCE! HAVE the patience
to grow into the person YOU would join.
When I began the Mental Cleanse I can honestly
say that I would not have joined ME! NOW I would.
