We also took some time to consider what a negative Mastermind Team looks like. I am sure that you have had some of those around you at some time in your life. We all have. If you have read those articles, you may have already made some changes in your Mastermind Team.

We all have a free will. Your free will comes with the responsibility to make the right choices. It takes right choices to be able to reach your dreams and goals in life.

Affirmation #139 from the 210 Day Affirmation Challenge created by John Di Lemme, founder of the Lifestyle Freedom Club takes a strong stand concerning making a radical choice concerning who you will allow to influence your life.

This is one of the most important choices you will make on the road to your success in achieving your destiny.

This is what it will take for you to reach your goals and dreams which are your destiny.

• It will take some drastic decisions on your part.
• One of these drastic decisions will include choosing who you are willing to allow to influence your life,
• You can only make such a drastic decision when you are truly determined to achieve your life purpose.

Today’s Challenge:

• Are you ready to make some drastic decisions? or -
• Are you still living in the land of excuses which is the land of fear and failure?

This is one of the strong reasons why only 3-5% ever reach their destinies.

It takes courage to stand out and say NO to the negative naysayers
and YES to your own heart and your dreams.

It takes even more courage to delete them out of your life!

Another Challenging Question For You Today:

• Are there negative naysayers in your life?
• If so, what are you going to do about it – today?

Remember: Champions surround themselves with other champions. Choosing your Champion Mastermind team is a very important part of your success strategy.

You owe it to those who’s lives you touch every day to be the best you can be, and to reach your destiny. Why? Because that is where you will make the most difference in the most people’s lives.

You are seeking to:

• increase your wealth
• increase your knowledge
• increase your relationship skills
• increase your well being
• increase your influence so that you can make a difference in the lives of people around you.

I know that you definitely want to play your part in making a difference in this world. When this is the core motive for everything you do, you are certainly on the right path to succeed in life.

One of the first steps towards achieving increase in any area of your life is to make sure that your WORDS are in tune with your goals and dreams.

Your aim is to ensure that everything you think and say will be positively focused on encouraging, challenging and building yourself up as well as those around you.

We are following the Lifestyle Freedom Club’s 210 Day Affirmation Challenge that I recently completed and continue to blog about. (See note in “Resources” below for more information).

Today’s affirmation is #126 and it talks about – yes you guessed it – increase. This affirmation will help you to focus on the kind of words you aim at speaking and thinking:

As you declare this affirmation today, challenge yourself to make an extra effort to assure that you indeed WILL speak words of increase 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Notice that the picture I chose for this slide is a photo of a town crier. You want to be the town crier who brings words of increase to your own life and to the lives of those around you.

What sort of difference will this make in your life when you achieve this goal? I am sure it will radically change many things including attitudes of those around you.

Are you ready for this challenge? I know you are.

Here is a checklist to help you to focus on speaking words of increase:
1. Take a look at your goals and dreams that you have written down in your journal. (You do have them written down right?)

2. Turn your goals into affirmations (words of increase).

For example: One of your goals might be to make a profit of 500,000 this year in your business.

You would affirm words of increase such as:

• Today I am alert to every new opportunity that comes my way.
• Today I am alert to every opportunity to make a difference in the lives of my present clients.
• Today is the day for record sales.

One of the best ways to start training your mind to think and speak words of increase is to become actively involved in a daily affirmation plan that will give you direction and keep you motivated and inspired.

You were born a champion. You are destined to championship, but nevertheless it is not something that will happen in your life automatically.

You decide your destiny. You decide whether you take the high road in life (to reach your highest potential) or the low easy road and end up bitter and frustrated.

The title of this article is “Champions Train to Win”, and that is exactly what they do. They never train to come second right?

Today we are looking at affirmation #124 of John Di Lemme’s 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in and blogging about. (See note in “Resources” below for more information).

Affirmation #124 is all about training:

There is only one way for you to make sure you become the best you can be in your field of expertise and passion. What is this way?

Train and work to develop yourself, your mind, your body (to stay fit and able to enjoy life), and your knowledge and skills in your field of expertise.

• This is the only way you can stay ahead of the competition.
• This is the only way you can stay fit mentally, emotionally and physically in this negatively contaminated world. >li>

When you win a championship it means that you have reached a potential that is higher than your competitors ability. That will not happen automatically right?

No it will take hours of persistent, dedicated, disciplined, daily training.

Champions are laser focused on their goals.

How can you stay laser focused on your dreams and goals?

• First of all, you need to be totally immersed in a proven personal development plan every day.
• Secondly you need to be totally immersed in your goals and dreams and the strategic actions you are taking towards fulfilling them.

Today’s Challenge:

• Start reading at least 1-2 non fiction books a month.
• Start listening to strong, highly motivational teachings on audio or video every day.
• Make a decision to start speaking stronger, more positive words to yourself every day.

Do you really recognize that you can predict your own future success or failure simply by looking at your daily schedule?

No I am not talking about fortune telling, I am talking about something much more dependable than that!

What is that? The law of sowing and reaping. What you sow today (not just words but actions) you will reap tomorrow.

Today we are looking at affirmation #117 of the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in and blogging about, and as you may have guessed, today we are focusing on your daily habits.

Here is the reality:
Your daily schedule shows you the direction in which you are taking your life.

I am sure that you have heard it said that the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing, yet expecting different results.

No, if you are not achieving the results in your life that you desire perhaps it is time to check your daily schedule.

Today’s Challenge:

• Take some time to think about the results you are achieving in your life. Are you moving forward every day towards achieving your dreams?
• If you are not, take some time to look at your daily schedule. Is it strategically planned to take you towards achieving your goals and dreams?

  (Remember that once you find your life passion, you created an action plan which you designed to move you towards achieving your goals. This action plan, you then broke down into daily steps, which are the major part of your daily schedule).

• If you find you are moving forward every day – congratulations! Now, take some time to revise your schedule to see how you can improve your performance. Remember champions are always striving to do better every day

To be a champion finisher is certainly the ideal, and I am sure this is your aim in life as it is mine.

Today is Day 97 of following the 210 Day Lifestyle Freedom Club Affirmation Challenge that I am involved in and blogging about.

Today we are focusing on being a finisher. Make sure you declare this statement, whether you feel you ARE a finisher (YET) or not. Your declaration is setting the precedence in your mind. You now know what you expect of yourself.

So what stops you and I from completing projects, goals or tasks?

Here are the top 3 hindrances to becoming a finisher.

Hindrance #1: You lost focus and became distracted.
We live in a world full of distractions. There is always something (or someone) coming at you lobbying for your attention. Staying focused is not always an easy task, but it IS possible.

Here are some techniques that may help you to stay focused. Depending on your thinking and learning styles some of these will help you more than others. Some may not work at all for you.

Experiment with them and find what WILL work for you and then determine to stay with it!

• Your attention span may be short.

  Take 15-20 minute blocks of time throughout the day when you will focus on your project. If it is an extremely distasteful or difficult task, schedule one 15 minute block per day for this project. Make this a priority EVERY day. You will be amazed at the results in a week or so.

• You may work better when you are surrounded with people and even a certain level of noise.

  If your project is computer, writing or office work related, schedule a block of time every day when you can go to a nearby cafe and work for an hour or two.

• Turn on some background music. Baroque music is known to be good for accelerated learning environments, along with many of Mozart and Bethoven.

  Here is an excellent CD designed especially for accelerated learning. Music for Accelerated Learning

• As you plan your project, focus on the end result. What will you be able to enjoy once you have completed the task? What will your home look like?

  How will your life be enhanced? Focusing on these things will be a great inspiration to keep working on your project until it is complete.

Hindrance #2: You lost faith when the path became difficult.
When you lose faith, you also lose focus. This can happen because you have run yourself too thin by working so hard at your project your life has become completely unbalanced.

A healthy life is a balanced life. Take some time off to go out to your favorite place whether it be a park, a restaurant, a drive in the country. Go and visit a friend.

Losing faith can also happen because you have neglected your daily discipline of reading and listening to inspirational material that builds your faith.

Personal development is a part of your daily life that you cannot afford to overlook or skip.

Personal development is an ongoing process and never stops even when you HAVE reached your goals and dreams.

If you look into the lives of all great and successful men and women you will find that they maintain a daily discipline of staying immersed in inspirational recordings, videos and books. This keeps them sharp, positive and mentally fit.

Consistent daily physical exercise is also very important.

Hindrance #3: You started something that you are not passionate about, and so should never have started in the first place.

Did you start something because YOU wanted to, or because you felt pressured into doing it by someone else? It is your life passion (your WHY) that will keep you on course and focused. This is why it is so important to remind yourself of your why every day. (Remember, your “why rollover“?).

If you can delegate this project out fine. If not, schedule short blocks of time every day to finished this task. Do all you can to complete this task because you are a Champion Finisher.

Take time to go regroup and refocus on your why and this will help you to discern the times when you need to say “No”.
