I was listening to a skill-set video by a gentleman named Jerry Clark this morning who had a wonderful insight on life actually and how to arrive at whatever it is you want to accomplish in life. Jerry Clark first spoke about how you, because no one can do it for you, but you have to first attract your million dollar moment. Jerry spoke about how he was born in a garage, and grew up very poor, and he remembers asking his mother for new shoes, pants and things of that nature, and his mothers reply was always We dont have enough money
But it wasnt until Jerry wanted to take Karate lessons that hearing his mothers excuse was just the last straw for Jerry and so he decided to take matters into his own hands, and got himself a paper route. Just so that he could pay for the Karate classes he so desperately wanted to do at $40/month. Thats what we must do with ourselves. At some point we have to say, you know what, the same ole excuse of not having enough money or whatever it is that you are hindering yourself from, you have to kind of get upset with yourself, and say hey, Im a take action on this thing and just get it done. So at a young age of 11 years old, that was Jerrys first monumental moment. And from there it can only grow. From there Jerry saw the Mercedes Benz car, homes with movie theatres inside them, and it drove his hunger. Jerry realized at 19 that trading time for dollars, like what most of us do in a job setting is not whats happening. Entrepreneurs get paid for trading results for dollars. So there is a shift that needs to take place there in order to understand that key concept. Because in a job setting, you can have the crappiest day and not be as effective as you could, and still get paid, but in the entrepreneur world, thats not the case. So you must surround yourself with successful people, other entrepreneurs, people who have already produced results. Jerry describes what is called a Success Triangle. Now picture a triangle, having the three points, and now lets look at the base on the left, Jerry calls that Internal Communication. Internal Communication is how you communicate with yourself. Your expectation. Your beliefs, philosophies. We must master this. The next base to the right is the External Communication. This is how you communicate with others. The direct marketing, copy-writing skills. However and whenever possible, you want to study influence. This will help you understand about what makes people tick. Jerry describes how there are four things that you are going to go through when mastering anything. One, is time, just like it took and takes time to learn that thing on the job, this is going to take time as well. Something like a year or so. The second is energy, and energy is nothing more than action. You must, must, must take action. Confuscion the greek philospoher once said To know and not do is yet not to know. Meaning you might think you know something, but you really dont know cuz youre not doing it. So we must take action. The third is Frustration. No matter how calm or relaxed of a person you are, you will get frustrated, but its important to stay in your lane. Thats my own personal philosophy of frustration. I have lived and have visited several cities, and because I like to drive I find myself in tons and tons of traffic. Now I like to think of myself as a pretty calm and relaxed person, but sitting traffic is the most infuriating thing to me. But my motto is to just stay in your lane, Steer the course, because slow motion is better than no motion, and although its frustrating, you still want to get there. I have seen where cars will pull over and take a break on the shoulder, pull off all together and get a bite to eat, and thats cool for them. But for me, unless I was already planning to pull over for a bite, or to check my vehicles coolant levels and so forth, Im not gonna let anything veer me from my course. And my thinking is because you never know how far you have to go before you break through. You could only have ten more yards to go til traffic is going to break and you will be right where you want be, smooth sailing. You cant find that out on the shoulder. Theres an old proverb that says The darkest hour of the night comes just before dawn. So we must not give up! The fourth concept to mastering anything is change. You must always be changing and growing. Its sounds so simple, but its oh so true, but if nothing changes, nothing changes. So lets get back to the triangle, and the last piece of the triangle at the top is Technical Knowledge. This is the know how, the coaching. The piece that will actually make you money. Sometimes people skip the other two parts and get straight to this piece, the money aspect. Which can work, but without the internal knowledge, what will keep you motivated, how will you react when you become frustrated. You need those internal skills. How will you be able to create a good copywritten sales letter, or how will your conduct be when you are speaking with folks in seminars, meetings, webinars, you need those external communication skills. It all fits together. The last thing Jerry spoke about and ended the call with was what he called The Slight Edge Concept. Which simply stated that Everyday in every way you are either performing simple disciplines or simple errors of judgement. See discipline is the key. Excellence is not achieved overnight. It is a lifelong journey that we should be working on daily. And we are always working on something whether we know it or not. Just like the saying if you arent planning your work, youre planning to fail. By you not taking interest in your work, you are ensuring your own failure. So The Slight Edge Concept is pretty much saying that everyday we are either making good choices or bad. The disciplines we create in our lives are the determining factor. Just repeat simple disciplines in our lives daily and over time you will see tremendous results.
You blew out my eyes, n00b!
paragraphs
I wonder if the million dollar moment was within the paragraph?
I will not know either.
Couldn’t even start to wade through that.
For want of a paragraph
The million was lost.
That is a HUGH and SERIES Million Dollar paragraph! Thanks a, er, you know,
MLM alert!!!
“Confuscion the greek philospoher...”
I witnessed a moose experiencing a horrific accident. I intend to rebuild the moose; the moose will be faster, stronger and “moosier.”
Please send me six million dollars to finance this undertaking.
Look what you do to my eyes, mon!

Not a bad effort for a noob but I would caution you not to try to sell anything here.
Watch and learn and don't be afraid to ask questions.
That was very kind of you to do for belleinc.
Invest in paragraphs. They will make you rich.
That right there was worth $43.22.
Easier to read, but it still reeks of Amway.
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Zot!
I love the smell of ozone in the morning.
It smells like .... Victory!
I know you are already banned, but I will post this in case you decide to come back and see the replies to your disruption.
You probably depend on Media Matters to get instructions for your next mission / disruption on Conservative websites. You wouldnt know the truth if it hit you in the rear. People like you probably listen to chris matthews and take every word he says as 100% truth. He never tells his audience that he wore out several pairs of knee pads pulling a Lewinsky on your TOTUS.
There are other people with your IQ currently serving in the US Congress. Just look at the (d) side of the aisle, and you are probably at the top of the IQ list. The swimmer teddy was probably your true political hero, since he was stoned most of the day. Either he is or Robert KKK Byrd may be. Or are you more on the SAN FRAN NAN side? Maybe B Hussein O is your leftwing hero.
Did you have a few too many snorts of cocaine with your Tequila this morning? Why dont you go to the local office and collect your stinking food stamps and go buy your liquor and cigarettes for the week? Druggies like you should not be allowed anywhere near a computer. That can be dangerous, since you may accidentally access a porn site and that could affect your IQ even worse at your age.
Just leave us alone to our intelligent political discussion. Well, you dont know what intelligence is, by your totally ignorant initial post. What is with liberals like you? You have to mess up the Internet with your whiny, juvenile ideas. I know first graders who have much more intellect than you exhibited with your little rant. There is nothing that indicates any amount of intelligence.
Either that or you are underage and should not be left alone with any technology that allows access to the Internet. Does your mommy know you are alone with her computer? You should be banned from ever being allowed anywhere near any electronics again, since you may accidentally shock yourself. Well, that could do some good and ensure you never reproduce any offspring. Go back to doing what you Dummies do best trash anyone you disagree with and praise the idiot democrats who hate America.
Whatever the case, you should never be allowed to vote in any election. It takes some understanding of politics to understand that every candidate and his or her supporters agree with and have the courage to ensure that agenda is good for America.
