The Seeds of Greatness are not in you...

"The seeds of greatness are not in you." How's that for a motivational quote?

I first heard that quote as "If you cannot spend less than you earn, then the
seeds of greatness are not in you." (I don't remember who said it and my exhaustive
30 second google search did not produce results.)

That really struck me when I first heard it.

What if there WAS an action that, if you didn't (or "couldn't") do it, it meant
that the seeds of greatness aren't in you?

And I've come to believe that that IS true.

There are things that, if you can't (won't) do them, you will never achieve
greatness. Or your Extraordinary Life!

Maybe if you can't plan your day the night before...
the seeds of greatness are not in you.

Maybe if you can't generate written, specific, measurable goals...
the seeds of greatness are not in you.

Maybe if you can't learn to control your emotions and act a certain way even if
you don't "feel like" it...
the seeds of greatness are not in you.

Maybe if you can't schedule your day...
the seeds of greatness are not in you.

Maybe if you don't take 100% responsibility for your actions, your mood, and
your circumstances...
the seeds of greatness are not in you.

I bet that there are a bunch of "those types of things".

Part (well, the whole) of the XL Challenge is about living and acting in a way
that ORDINARY people don't.

That means challenging your comfort zone.

That means doing stuff that you don't "feel like" doing because you know
it serves you.

That means THINKING BIGGER.

That means Daring to be Great.

And it means taking control of your time, your mind, and your emotions and
being your own COACH.

I'm more convinced than ever that ALL IT TAKES to radically transform your life
is the DECISION and the commitment to act powerfully in support of that decision.

Take a moment right now and RECOMMIT yourself to YOUR Extraordinary Life!

I know that I send you a lot of stuff and provide you with a lot of resources and
opportunities and I KNOW that it can feel overwhelming at times...

ACT POWERFULLY in the face of overwhelm.

ACT DIFFERENTLY when your "Usual Suspects" are triggered.

I'm delighted to be assembling the resources, the community, the network, the
challenges, and the support to enable ANYONE to start unleashing and enjoying
THEIR extraordinary life.

Don't SHRINK from it.

ROAR in the face of it!

What to do when you're feeling stuck

Frazier,

Yesterday, Joe asked about what he can do if he falls off - with weight loss,
with fitness, with motivation, with working on the business, with completing
the 7 day challenge - whatever!

Well, here are a couple of ways to deal with it:

1) Make sure that you're on the XL Challenge Facebook Group:
http://www.xlchallenge.com/facebook

You can be sure that REAL PEOPLE creating REAL RESULTS who will be
supportive of you will be online helping you out!

2) I've created Facebook Groups for each of the different CHALLENGES that
you all are tackling and conquering.

There's a blog and a Facebook Group for each of the following:

- Real Estate Investing

- Breakthrough Business Strategies

- Laptop Entrepreneur/Internet Marketing

- Fitness

- Fun

- Interview and Grow Rich (also "share" and grow rich)

- Teach and Grow Rich

and more to come...

the blogs and the Facebook groups will help you not just stay connected with
each other and the resources BUT participating on them will also
help you accomplish your mission of INSPIRING OTHERS!

Make sure to visit http://www.XLChallenge.com/Facebook and join the
groups that are connected to your Focus Areas!

Tomorrow, I'm going to set it up so that you can CHOOSE which focus areas
you want to be connected to (so you don't have to get emails about
fitness if you aren't tryng to lose weight or about real estate if you "just don't care").

We're committed to helping you UNLEASH and ENJOY your Extraordinary
Life...in whatever areas you are focusing!
